After a few glasses of wine, Jiang Ziya became drunk and didn't eat a few mouthfuls of food at the table.

When Yang Jian asked him where he lived now, he didn't say anything, and kept muttering: Master, I am wholeheartedly devoted to Taoism!

In the end, Yang Jian had no other choice but to bring Jiang Ziya back to the National Teacher's Mansion with King Zhou who was "one-hearted in Taoism".

Yang Jian arranged for a reliable and careful servant to take care of Jiang Ziya, and he said to King Zhou, "Uncle Master is here, I won't go to your place tonight."

King Zhou, the playwright, immediately added drama to himself. He grabbed the door frame and said pitifully, "Brother Zhenjun~ How could you treat me like this? You actually abandoned me for such an old man!"

Yang Jian shuddered, and the goosebumps on his body were like wheat waves, layer after layer.

King Zhou also knew that he was a little disgusted like this, so he smirked twice, turned around and ran out the door.

Yang Jian dodged and blocked King Zhou at the door. He put his hand on the door frame and wrapped King Zhou in his arms.

"Run what?"

King Zhou was very knowledgeable about current affairs, he immediately apologized timidly, "Little God, I was wrong, I shouldn't have teased you, please forgive me!"

"Forgive you? It's not such a good thing!" Yang Jian grabbed the back collar of his clothes, "Let's go! Hunjun! I'll take you back to the palace."

The two left the Imperial Teacher's Mansion and walked into the palace. Yang Jian said, "I have something to trouble you. Can you arrange an official position for my uncle in the court?"

King Zhou stopped in his tracks, turned around and looked at him steadily.Yang Jian asked: "What's the matter? Are you embarrassed?"

King Zhou raised his orchid finger, pointed at Yang Jian and said righteously, "You heartless little goblin! You actually begged me for that old man! How is he better than me?"

Yang Jian pressed his head and rubbed it vigorously, "Stop acting! Speak well!"

King Zhou raked his hair, took out the jade hairpin and tied it up again. "Isn't it just an official position? What does our uncle want to do? I'll seal it for him!"

Yang Jian frowned and didn't speak, King Zhou opened his mouth wide, "No way! You don't really want your uncle to be a general, do you? Huang Feihu and Bigan are still alive and well! It's not easy to grab someone's official position. Is it authentic?"

Yang Jian sighed, "What nonsense! I just can't bear to see him at such an old age, working hard every day to make a living."

King Zhou pinched his chin in thought, and suddenly he giggled.Yang Jian asked, "What are you laughing at?"

King Zhou grinned and said, "I thought of a super good official position, which is especially suitable for your uncle. Just wait! I will make an order to me tomorrow morning!" After speaking, he flung his sleeves and ran away, Ren Yang Jian chased after him No matter how you ask him, he won't say anything.

The next morning, Jiang Ziya woke up and saw himself lying in a strange place, so he sat up from the bed in fright.He tapped his forehead and thought about it carefully, what did he do yesterday?Oh yes!Met nephew Yang Jian and had a drink with him.There is also a little friend next to the nephew, and I forgot to introduce it yesterday... I am really in a daze!

He went down to the ground and looked around. The decoration inside the house was very elegant, but the furnishings and furniture were also expensive.Jiang Ziya nodded in relief. It seems that his nephew is doing well in Chaoge!

Hearing movement in the house, the servant outside the door knocked lightly, "Master, are you awake?"

Jiang Ziya said: "I'm awake, come in!"

The servant brought in hot water and breakfast, Jiang Ziya washed up, took a few mouthfuls of food and was about to leave.I didn't return last night, my family should be worried.

The servant had already prepared the carriage, and Jiang Ziya boarded the carriage, not forgetting to take away his own baskets.He told the servant who took care of him, "When your national teacher returns, tell him that I miss my wife, so I go back first. He can find me in Songjiazhuang, 35 miles south of the city, some other day."

The servant agreed, and the coachman drove Jiang Ziya out of the city in a carriage.

Back in Songjiazhuang, a large group of children chased Jiang Ziya's carriage to see that they didn't have horses here, and anyone who could afford a donkey was already a wealthy family.When they saw this luxurious carriage, they felt that it was a novelty.

When he got home, Jiang Ziya's wife, Mrs. Ma, saw him coming back, and immediately yelled, "You have been paid a thousand dollars, and you were asked to carry flour to sell, but you didn't return all night! Where did you go to fool around? There is still a carriage Send you back!"

Jiang Ziya was also angry, "You still have the face to say that it's all your fault, you unworthy mother-in-law! You insisted on letting me sell noodles, but a horse tripped over the noodle load, and the money was not earned, and the basket of noodles was also sold." A gust of wind blows it away!"

Ma scolded: "I was terrified at home all night because of you, but you blamed me instead! Can you blame me for not selling the noodles? It's not that you are useless, you know that you only eat and don't work!"

The neighbors in the village were all watching outside. Jiang Ziya was scolded by his wife like this, and felt embarrassed, his face was purple with anger, and he stuttered when he spoke.

Song Yiren, Jiang Ziya's sworn brother, came over with a look of rejoicing, "Brother, you have come back. My brother and sister said that you didn't come back all night, which made me very anxious, and sent a lot of young people from the village to look for you." What!" Seeing Jiang Ziya and Ma Shi's expressions of anger, he couldn't help but ask, "Did your husband and wife quarrel?"

Mrs. Ma rushed to tell about Jiang Ziya selling noodles, she pointed to the carriage and said, "I think it's this horse that knocked down the burden of noodles, otherwise who can send this useless old man back!"

Jiang Ziya was so angry that he gritted his teeth. He turned his head and explained to Song Yiren: "This is the carriage in my nephew's mansion. I met my nephew in the city yesterday. I drank two glasses of wine on an empty stomach. I didn't expect to get drunk. It's already dark In the evening, my nephew left me at home overnight."

Song Yiren nodded, and Ma said angrily, "Hmph! You are also going up the mountain to practice Taoism. Your nephew already has his own carriage, and you still send him under the fence! It's really useless!"

Ma Shi's words were a little too much, Song Yiren's face was not very good-looking, he just wanted to open his mouth to reprimand Ma Shi, but after thinking that he was not good at meddling in his brother's family affairs, he could only keep silent in the end.

Jiang Ziya scolded angrily, "Shut up!"

The couple quarreled so loudly that the people in the village were lying on the wall to watch the joke.At this moment, someone outside the wall asked loudly: "Excuse me, is this the home of Lord Jiang Shangjiang?"

Ma Shi and Jiang Ziya stopped arguing, Jiang Ziya opened the door, two rows of soldiers dressed in brand new clothes surrounded a palace servant.There was another sedan chair behind the servant, and a handsome man came out of the sedan chair. He walked up to Jiang Ziya, bowed his hands and saluted, "Master."

Jiang Ziya asked: "Martial nephew, this... this... what's going on?"

Yang Jian said with a smile, "Congratulations, Master Uncle, Your Majesty has a decree to confer you the title of Imperial Teacher."

Everyone at the scene was stunned, Yang Jian waved his hand, and the servants who came out of the palace announced the decree in public, canonizing Jiang Ziya as the national teacher and the head of the Fengshui Department of the National Teacher Bureau.

Jiang Ziya took the order to thank him, and Song Yiren saw that his adopted brother had a bright future, so he immediately invited his servants to hold a big banquet, and all the neighbors, relatives and friends in the village came to celebrate.

When Madam Ma saw that Jiang Ziya was rewarded by the king, although he still had some murmurs in his heart, he didn't dare to say anything.She awkwardly followed Song Yiren's wife, Sun, to the kitchen to prepare a banquet.

Jiang Ziya accepted the order, feeling at a loss in his heart. He took Yang Jian's hand and asked, "Nephew, tell me quickly, what does the king's order mean? What is the Minister of Fengshui? How does he know me? Yes Is it not my nephew who recommended me to the king?"

Yang Jian said with a smile: "You don't have to think too much, uncle, you will know everything when you go to the morning court tomorrow. I will leave you the official uniform and the carriage for your convenience when you go to court tomorrow. Yang Jian bids farewell."

Regardless of Jiang Ziya's persuasion, Yang Jian left directly.When walking back, passing the bridge built by Nezha and the others, Yang Jian, who was sitting in the sedan chair, opened the curtain and looked over there.The supervisor changed to another person, Nezha and the others were resting, and an old man was chatting with Nezha.

"Why do you keep saying that the king is a fool?" the old man asked.

Nezha held a small wooden stick in his hand and pulled it on the ground, "He is! He locked me up and beat my master!"

The old man was the one who testified against Fei Zhong and You Hun yesterday. He squinted his eyes and asked slowly, "Then why did your majesty lock you up?"

Nezha reluctantly said: "Because I almost killed the third prince of the Dragon King of the East China Sea..."

"Hahaha! Kid, you can really brag!" The old man didn't believe it at all, "You are very strong, and it is possible to hurt someone. As the saying goes, the state owns the state law, and the family has family rules. If you make a mistake, why can't the king not Lock you up? To be honest, I also killed people to come in..."

Nezha didn't believe it at all, "You? You killed someone? I don't believe it! Who can you kill?"

The old man lowered his eyes, "Little old man, there is only myself and a big yellow dog left at home. That day, two local rascals ate my dog. I couldn't get angry for a while, so I killed the two of them."

Nezha understood very well, "Just kill it!"

The old man squinted and looked at Nezha, "Few people think like you. They all think that a dog is a beast, and it dies when it dies. The adult who judged me at that time sentenced me to death, and those who were sentenced to death had to go through His Majesty. The execution can only be carried out if Zhu Pi agrees. His Majesty read my file and changed it to a prison for me."

Nezha pursed his lips, "It's hypocritical! If he really sympathizes with you, he should let you go!"

The old man shook his head, "You are too young! You don't know the dangers in the world. I killed someone and did something wrong, so it's fine if I didn't lose my life. Besides, I'm too old to work. If His Majesty forgives me If it is me, maybe I am still digging food in the fields! For a prisoner like me, being able to live in prison is already a blessing in his previous life. In prison, at least he has clothes to wear, food to eat, and a house to live in. You don't know, there are many prisoners who have been sent out and made slaves, and their lives are even more miserable."

Nezha's family is well-off, he just thinks the cell is dirty, stuffy and damp, which is not good at all.Unexpectedly, this old man actually thought it would be nice to live in a prison cell!

"Get up quickly! Get up and get to work!" shouted the official who replaced Yang Ren, whipping his whip.

Nezha slowly got up and went to work, the old man leaned over and whispered: "Don't say that the king is a fool in the future, you should be happy in your heart! Look at Mr. Boyi Kao, Mr. Yang, and this The new overseer, everyone treats you well! The new overseer is so fierce, and his whip didn't hit you. Who do you think ordered this?"

The old man bent over and walked away slowly, Nezha looked at his back thoughtfully, maybe... maybe he was really wrong...
