Qin Ban
Chapter 23
Even Qin Wei was envious of the ten-day vacation, but Qin Ban was still a little unsatisfied when it was over.
The Guozijian in the Sui Dynasty usually had classes for one month, and during the class period, if there were no accidents, they were not allowed to go out.Then take two days off.In this way, when Qin Ban went to the Ministry of Finance to report, he was able to send Qi Wei and the others to study.
As for why they said it was their words, even though Chu Mansion asked people to look for it over and over again, Chu Yu seemed to be rooted in their Qin Mansion, and refused to go back no matter what.In desperation, the Chu family had no choice but to ask the housekeeper to send the things that Chu Yu could use in the Imperial College in the next month, and apologize to the Qin family by the way, and trouble them to bring another Chu Yu. Thank you for the two days of the Qin family. take care of.
"When you arrive at the Imperial College, you have to study hard, you know? And Qi Wei, even though I have returned to Beijing now, you can't just go to the husband and ask me to understand every time you encounter any problems. Waiting to come back and ask me. Now you have a month You have to be in the Imperial College, and you have only been home for two days, and even if I stay with you these two days, you can’t solve so many problems.” Qin Ban looked at Qi Wei’s blushing face from embarrassment, and continued to point out: “You But if I want to win the first prize in the examination, I have to solve the problems at the time. If many problems are piled up, and after a long time, I am afraid that I will forget them, and I will not be able to find the thoughts I had when I first discovered them. "
"Understood, brother." Qi Wei looked at Yan Yu, full of admiration as always.
Qin Ban nodded in satisfaction, saw Qi Wei's expectant eyes again, then patted his head and said, "Okay, I also know that you are studious and smart. You can handle things yourself. Of course, I don't encourage you If you study late at night and encounter problems, knock on your husband's door."
"Pfft." Qin Ban's carriage was big, and he thought he was going along the way, so he didn't prepare a second carriage.Chu Yu heard that Qin Ban was clearly teasing Qi Wei, but still had a serious face, so he couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Qin Ban just likes to play tricks.Liu An also had his own business today, and if he couldn't be with him, no one would bully him naturally, so he looked at Chu Yu who was smiling so blindly, he deliberately bullied others and said to Qi Wei: "Brother knows you You have a good brain, but you don’t know how to fight. I thought I’d find a reliable teacher to teach you when I arrived in the capital, but I didn’t have time. Now you should focus on your studies, like some physical work, It’s better to give it to some people who seem to have well-developed limbs but simple minds. After all, there are specializations in the arts, and a person’s energy is limited, so don’t spend too much time on those less important places.”
"..."
This is really... Cursing and invisible, you can't say it, could it be possible to ask Chu Yu to say, fuck you, such vulgar words?Or is it really like a no-brainer to argue with Qin Ban whether he has a brain?
After putting the two children down in the Guozijian, Qin Ban took Qin Cai to the household department.
When Qin Ban arrived at the household department, everyone had already been working for a long time.When they first heard the movement, they all cast curious eyes.There is no other reason. It has long been heard that His Majesty has appointed a new servant of the household department, but there has been no sign of him for a long time.
In a place like theirs, it's not uncommon for newcomers to come and old ones to go, but it's really unheard of for someone like Qin Ban to be sealed for more than ten days without seeing anyone.
"Lord Qin, Your Majesty told Lao Nu to wait for you for a long time, and said that you must go to the Imperial Study Room first when you come."
Originally, they thought that after all they were also old people from the household department. Even if Qin Ban was a celebrity in front of the emperor and Qin was the son of the lord, he should be the one to court them first.That father-in-law has been in the household department for a long time, and he never said what he is here for, so they can't just drive him away, right?But now...
Qin Ban was also a little surprised when he heard that His Majesty was looking for him. He nodded to the eunuch whom he didn't know, and then slightly returned the courtesy: "It's Qin Ban who asked eunuch to wait for a long time, so I will trouble eunuch to lead the way."
Following the little eunuch all the way, Qin Ban asked him intentionally: "Qin Ban has been away for a long time, but he didn't know that there are many people like eunuch around His Majesty. I don't know how to call him?"
It depends on the owner to beat a dog. This sentence is not fooling at all.Like the little eunuch who followed the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty, even the concubines and empresses in the palace would have to fawn on them when they saw it.Although he Qin Ban can't say he can't flatter, but in the end it's best if he can make friends.
It is said that good-looking people win. This Qin Ban is the person His Majesty likes, and he is also top-notch good-looking. Naturally, the little eunuch is willing to make friends with him.Now Qin Ban took the initiative to speak, and of course he said with a smile on his face: "It is enough for Master Qin to call you Xiao Dezi. The slave family is also lucky. It was only after getting the attention of Eunuch Zhang a few days ago that they had the opportunity to serve His Majesty. On weekdays, I also do the work of spreading rumors."
"My father-in-law is humble."
Like them, the words are simple, but the news is the most well-informed.There is a lot of oil and water for those who go to the palace to go to the mansion.That's no matter how many people ask for it, they can't ask for it.Being able to get it shows that this little virtuous son has more than a few strengths.
The imperial palace is big, and there is no car yet, so Qin Ban followed Xiao Dezi all the way from outside the palace to the imperial study.Xiao Dezi didn't go in, but just announced.
Pushing open the door and entering, Emperor Sui was reading the memorial.The one standing beside him was actually the prince and Taifu.
"Chen Qin Ban, see Your Majesty." Although he couldn't figure out why His Majesty called him here, Qin Ban didn't feel nervous.After all, you didn't do anything wrong, did you?
Emperor Sui didn't move in his seat, and he only raised his head when he heard Qin Ban's voice.He clearly didn't mean to be angry, but he just wanted to pretend to be unhappy and ignore Qin Ban so that people would find it funny and helpless to stand aside.
"I asked you to be the servant of the household department, but did I wrong you?" He had been waiting for Qin Ban to speak, but Qin Ban could hold back his temper.After thinking about it, Emperor Sui felt helpless, so he had to make a start himself.
Qin Ban wanted to roll his eyes helplessly but couldn't do so: "How come? Your Majesty may have misunderstood something."
"Hmph." Sui Emperor felt uncomfortable thinking about it. At the beginning, Qin Pan was obviously clinging to himself, and even Qin felt jealous when he saw that old guy.But now he just didn't figure it out for a while, so he pushed Qin Ban away: "Then why haven't you been willing to report to the Ministry of Household Affairs for so long?"
"Didn't Your Majesty take a ten-day vacation for Xu Chen? He said that the minister hadn't returned home for a long time, so he should cultivate himself at home and be filial by the way."
I can't refute what I said, so angry!
"Then your way of vacation is also unique enough. You went directly to the House of the Minister of the Household Department to make trouble, and I heard that Mrs. Wang Ru was almost forced to hang herself?" It is said that the imperial palace is a big prison. People inside want to come out, and people outside enter. don't go.
Mrs. Wang Ru's sister just entered the palace two years ago, and now she is only a talented person, but she was lucky enough to serve her bed yesterday.It just so happened that Mrs. Wang entered the palace and told her about it, so she took it as an interesting story and said so to Emperor Sui.Unexpectedly, the eyes of Emperor Sui, who had been bored for a long time, lit up when he heard this, and he said, "Qin Ban grew up under my watch, and the relationship between the crown prince and the second prince is very good."Then he left Ji Cairen alone, thinking that his majesty was trembling when he said something wrong.It's good for him, he just went to court today, so he asked the servants to wait for Qin Ban to come and laugh at him.
"..." Qin Ban said helplessly: "Then Wang Chen is just a son of an official. Knowing that His Majesty has just appointed me as the servant of the household department, he still tries to harass the humble minister. If he is better-looking, the next official will feel ashamed." It's blasphemy, but I can bear it when I think about it because he looks good, but he looks like a pig. He jumped the wall and bit us back. That's why we wanted to ask for an explanation.
That is to say, Mr. Wang Ru understands righteousness deeply, so I understood what was going on just as soon as I said it.It's just that the family law please come out. I'm afraid that Wang Chen only feels pain and his skin is not red, so Mrs. Wang will come to protect the cub.This is out of our control. "
"..." You can almost imagine the scene: "Then, shouldn't Aiqing arrive at the household department yesterday during the ten-day vacation?"
Qin Ban smiled as usual: "I think the ten days should be counted from the day after seeing His Majesty."
"..."
The prince and Taifu looked at the old and the young, and deeply felt that he was like an outsider...

When Qin Ban came out of the imperial study room, he felt baffled. He stood still and thought for a long time but couldn't come to a conclusion.I had no choice but to slap my head and smile, thinking it was the Sui Emperor's memorial that I was bored looking for two people to talk to.
"Master Qin, please stay." Taifu's voice came from behind, stopping Qin Ban from leaving.
Turning around and standing still, Qin Ban had a decent smile on his face.He has many opportunities to get along with the Taifu. It can be said that many times because of the same views, the two hit it off even though their identities and ages are different.It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the kind of year-end friendship.
"Teacher?" He didn't have much obsession with Taifu.He even knew that Emperor Sui deliberately joked with him when the Tai Tuo was around today, so that people would know that he had the favor and would not embarrass him.And the main person who made things difficult for him was undoubtedly the Taifu.In fact, in Qin Ban's opinion, this is not necessary.
The crown prince Taifu's name is Xu, his surname is Sun, and his style name is Ziqi.A few years older than Qin Wei, but now because of guilt, he did not hold his identity and spoke: "Your Majesty just means..."
Before he could say this, Qin Ban saw his discomfort and interrupted Taifu Sun: "Yes, Your Majesty asked me and Taifu to be mainly responsible for the reception of the envoys. In fact, we still have to rely on you. After all In previous years, Taifu Sun could accomplish this task by himself, but this year His Majesty is probably asking you to take me with you. I will study hard."
"Hmm..." Because Yan Yu lowered his posture, Taifu Sun couldn't express his apology.In the end, he could only smile and thank Yan Yu for his thoughtfulness.
Arriving at Hubu again, the atmosphere inside and outside is far from the beginning.If it is said that they still wanted to put on airs at first, but after a while, many people who know how to look at the form wanted to get together and make friends.
"Qin Shilang, come with me." A man who looked older hurried over and dared not neglect.
Qin Ban nodded towards the man.Following behind him, he formally walked into the household department.It should be said that although the official ranks of these six ministries are the same, the ministries have different priorities.The household department is the head of the six departments in charge of the country's financial power.Anyone who wants to spend from the treasury must ask him first.This also caused the officials of the household department to always feel that they were superior to other departments.
"The warriors in the Ministry of War officially quit every day. One day they build a school yard, and the next day the entire stable. They have so many things to do. Is it true that the treasury opens the door to them every day?"
Before Qin Ban could reach the door of Hubu Shangshu, he could hear someone talking from a distance who could tell he was very angry just by hearing the voice.
"Ah, it must be that the people from the Ministry of War have come to ask for money again." Receiving Qin Ban's gaze, Zhang Ji explained to Qin Ban with some helplessness, but he was accustomed to it: "The people from the Ministry of War will go up and down every day and cry. Your Majesty." You are a martial artist, you should always ask them what you want. But we have suffered from our household department, and it is not easy to complain to His Majesty. We can only vent our anger every time we see people who come to get money from them. It is better for us not to go in at the moment. Shang Shu is probably in a fit of anger."
Qin Ban raised his eyebrows, he didn't understand anything when he was new.Why not do it now that someone gives such a pointer?
The two of them actually started chatting in the courtyard like this.
Qin Ban is kind and knowledgeable.Now that someone is willing to listen, he is also happy to talk about it, which actually makes the atmosphere good.This is extremely inconsistent with the people from the military department who came out of disgrace.
Seeing that the man had nowhere to vent his anger, as soon as the door opened, he saw two people who were joking.Glancing at the door not far away, he almost rolled up his sleeves and hit someone.I feel ashamed.In the final analysis, he was just an errand runner. Their Shangshu knew what Hubu Shangshu was like for a long time, so he deliberately entrusted him with this errand.
"Are the people in the household department as idle as you are? It's no wonder that the household department always says they have no money." The person who spoke had a mean look on his face. The type that doesn't feel good.
Qin Ban has seen this kind of people a lot.He smiled and didn't take this person to heart at all.
But he didn't take it to heart, someone saw it.When the door behind him opened again, not to mention the soldier from the military department who came here to get the money, even Zhang Ji was so frightened that his whole body trembled.Purely subconscious behavior.
"Take the money and don't tell me about our household department. I'm afraid you're not out of your mind, right?" The household secretary is nosy.Coupled with the fact that the people in the Ministry of War are not pleasing to the eye, this makes it even more embarrassing to look at.
It is said that people who get along a lot with money will always subconsciously carry the taste of money, and their minds are only as big as copper coins.All the people in Hubu left in desperation.The man was still angry like a strange fish that the people from Dongying offered in the prince's letter not long ago.If you provoke it, it will explode with anger.
"My lord, this is Lord Qin..." Zhang Ji secretly wiped his sweat with his sleeve when the two of them were not paying attention.
"I know, Qin Tanhua has a great reputation, but those wooden sticks in the Ministry of War can't see Mount Tai."
☆, 097
In the blink of an eye, it has been more than a month since Qin Ban entered the household department.
The household department is in charge of taxation and financial affairs, and it has been a long time since it has its own rules.Because the foundation of the Sui Dynasty was stable for the people to live and work in peace and contentment, the old taxation system has never been greatly changed. Naturally, the work cannot be called busy, and after a long time you get used to it, it will become a law of its own.Before Qin Ban came, there was only one servant from the household department who felt comfortable.Now it's easier to have another helper.
Zhang Ji's official rank is not as good as Qin Ban's, but because Qin Ban was led by him when he first joined and had a good impression of him, he became a good colleague.
For Qin Ban, Zhang Ji was naturally willing to be kind to him.When encountering something Qin Ban doesn't understand, he often knows everything and can't stop talking.Take this moment as an example, the two of them got together and discussed in a low voice...
"The Ministry of War is that unlucky guy who came to look for your lord?" Qin Ban didn't like to say that these parents were short-sighted, but the Ministry of Households really didn't have much to do.
The only thing that can be said to be true is that Mr. Shang Shu shouted every day that he has no money and no money.But it's good for them to listen to this kind of words, if they really believe it, they are stupid.To put it another way, it's none of their business if they really have no money. What are people afraid of if they can't even enter the palace?
"Actually, I think those people in the Ministry of War did it on purpose. We saw that person coming, and our lords can only say a few words, and we won't even make trouble. If it's someone else, I'm afraid it's not that we can't say it." , but at least it’s easy to delay for two or three days.”
Don't look at every time Lord Shangshu scolds badly, he just pointed his nose and said that they are wasting food while they are alive.But which time didn't someone just take the money back after scolding?
Qin Ban squinted his eyes in a good mood, then nodded in agreement.He tidied up the supplies on his desk and said: "I think those people in the Ministry of War have good eyesight." Putting the pen in his hand down, he raised his head and said, "I'm going back first, staying here is quite boring. If Master Shangshu and they ask When I got up, I said I went to see the Taifu."
Recently, he always used the matter of receiving envoys to skip work. After a long time, even the other servant who worked with him got used to it, and everything remained the same as it was before Qin Ban came.It is not serious at all to say that Qin Ban is passive and sabotage.But it's hard to say anything.
After leaving Hubu, Qin Ban walked towards a newly landed mansion in a casual posture.
Liu An is now considered a general, so naturally he should have his own mansion.Even if you know you have it, you probably won't live there.Liu An didn't have much interest in the General's Mansion, which was about to be completed, but Qin Ban would come to visit it from time to time. One place got smaller and another got bigger. Over time, the mansion was full of Qin Ban's hobbies.
Originally thinking that he didn't say hello, Liu An should be with the second prince and the others at the newly built school grounds of the Ministry of War some time ago.But before the carriage stopped, he saw two figures, a handsome man and a woman standing there inappropriately.
"Stop the car, I'll walk over by myself." Qin Ban called the driver to stop, told him to stop here, and walked over alone.
"Brother Liu, I, I don't have other ideas, I just want to repay your life-saving grace. I, I, even if you ask me to be a maid in your house." skillful.After thinking about it for a long time since she was rejected by Liu An, she couldn't understand how a good man can like a man, and she was willing to kill off her children and grandchildren for this reason.
At first, she thought that was all there was to it, she would grow up a little bit and meet someone who was not as honorable as Liu An without Liu Anjun.That person will be an ordinary person, or it may be an ordinary servant of the Qin family, who will simply live his whole life without trouble.
But all this changed when the news that Liu An was preparing for the General's Mansion reached her ears.
Cui Qiao has always refused to admit that she doesn't mean that she likes Liu An much, and that the purpose of approaching Liu An is greater than liking.Now that she had mustered up her courage again, she felt even more aggrieved seeing Liu An's indifferent appearance.
"I am not the one who saved you, but Zixian. If I had known this would be the scene today, I would never have taken the initiative to cause trouble." Liu An didn't like her entanglement.
He appeared here purely because of timing, Qin Ban usually came once every two or three days, he wanted to give Qin Ban a surprise, so he sneaked here.I didn't expect to be blocked.He asked Cui Qiao how he knew his whereabouts, and Cui Qiao didn't say anything.This invisible helplessness made him feel irritable.
"Being a maid is everywhere. The conditions in Qin's residence are definitely better than mine. I advise you not to think about running around." Out of kindness, he reminded Cui Qiao. His eyes seemed to be mocking her self-recommendation.
The most distressing time for a woman is not when you yell like a shrew, and it's not when you cry like a helpless dog and can only look for help on others.Just like Cui Qiao, who wanted to cry, her white teeth lightly tapped her cherry lips and her slightly white lips, one could tell at a glance that she had studied it carefully.Her pitiful appearance made people feel soft at once.
Of course, the premise is to find someone who understands style.
"Besides, this General's Mansion is just a place to stay for a few days when you are bored. Usually, Zixian and I are so busy, so of course we want to live in the Qin Mansion." The reason why he is so careless is because I feel that there is no chance to come and live.
Although he is lonely, Qin Ban has a father, a mother and even a cheap brother.Although the two families were not far apart, and Qin Ban seemed interested, but after all, the Qin family was the main one.In this way, of course he wants to live with Qin Ban.
Regardless of Cui Qiao's complexion, Qin Ban, who had been listening happily all this time, couldn't stop the smile on his face now.
She didn't feel that she had anything to hide, and she happened to come out from the side at this moment, so frightened that Cui Qiao, who had a ghost in her heart, almost knelt down on the ground without her legs giving way.
"Zixian!" As a man who was able to sit upright, Liu An was of course happy to see Qin Ban and ran over immediately.It was clearly not a hot day, and there was no sweating, but Liu An wanted to use the handkerchief in his hand to wipe off the nonexistent sweat on Qin Ban's head.He was still muttering: "Walking here? Where is the car? The Ministry of Households is not close. How tired are you?"
The dissatisfaction in his tone almost overwhelmed the people around him.
Seeing that he was no longer coaxing and about to hit someone, Qin Ban explained amusedly: "No, I came in a carriage. It's just that I was just curious when I saw you chatting with others at the gate."
He almost made it clear that he was here to eavesdrop.
Cui Qiao, who was waiting to see Liu An get angry, only saw Liu An pursing her lips with deep eyes, and then said: "I'm here to wait for you. I wanted to give you a surprise and met her by accident. She must pull to me so..."
If she was given another chance, even if she was given an extra tael of gold, she wouldn't do such a thing!
Qin Ban couldn't deny Liu An's words, and he had clearly heard Liu An's rejection.He raised his eyebrows and said with a good temper: "I heard it all. Some people think that the Qin family's treatment is not good enough, and they want to climb high and ask you to give it a chance. You say that I can't force her to keep her. If I don't care, I will keep her. It's not interesting. Besides, she doesn't have a contract of selling her body anyway, so it's not a tight servant who can leave if she wants, so there's no need to be so sneaky."
Such a person who clearly wants to climb high branches, even if she is not climbing Liu An today, she should be driven away.
To accept slaves and servants is to be loyal, like Cui Qiao, you are afraid that she will turn around and give you a knife.After all, it's the people around you.
Cui Qiao's face was pale, it was good to leave the Qin Mansion in Xiushui back then, but now this is the capital city where he is not familiar.She is a weak woman without the support of the Qin family, she might be so degraded that she can't even find a place to live.
Qin Ban is a good person, but not a bad person.Cui Qiao dared to block his man so openly, so naturally he had nothing to say.He turned his head and didn't want to see that the person who was clearly asking for trouble and now asked him to forgive him for smashing his foot couldn't arouse any sympathy.
Liu An had always liked Qin Ban first, and now it is very annoying to be found by Cui Qiao twice or three times.Although he thought that she would not be able to please her alone, she opened her mouth and said nothing.After all, an insignificant outsider.
That's how Cui Qiao's expulsion was settled.When Qin Ban dragged Liu An to look at the back garden of the General's Mansion, he deliberately took a step forward and asked him, "Do you think I'm too unreasonable? You never thought how a weak woman like her can survive in the capital?"
"No, if she came to look for you today instead. I... I'm not sure if I'll hit someone." Liu An was called by name suddenly, but he answered very well.In fact, this problem is not difficult at all.
After getting a satisfactory answer, Qin Ban happily gave Liu An a kiss.The new General's Mansion is now almost completed.There are very few people coming and going.His movements were not big. After the kiss, he looked around slyly with his eyes, and smiled happily after finding that no one was paying attention.Like a cat that ate a fish, it makes people laugh.
"No matter what you want to do, it's right." Liu An hugged Qin Ban's waist from behind, obediently saying what Qin Ban liked to hear.
"I like this garden very much. There are also rooms and flower halls. I also like the study room." He smiled very beautifully, with sunshine in his eyes: "So, we can come and live here often in the future."
There is nothing better than being understood and supported by your lover.
The reason why Qin Ban said that was because Liu An was also a person of status.If he really lives in the Qin Mansion with him, his filial piety will be satisfied, but others will regard Liu An as a woman who married into their family, and they will be underestimated and even doubted. ability.It's not good to say it in the end.
Conversely, if he moved out to live with Liu An, it would only be a little more troublesome to go to and from the Qin Mansion every day, and there would be no other loss.
Before, because I didn't think I would live much, I just thought that Qin Ban would like it.Now that he looks at it with a different mind, he can find that there are surprises hidden everywhere that make him happy.
It's like there is a table much bigger than ordinary people's in this well-arranged study room.This was obviously prepared for the two of them working together.The bookshelf at the back has been made much larger, and many books have been placed in it.Most of them are poetry collections and allusions that Qin Ban likes to read, and there is no lack of his military formation and his various travel notes to pass the time.There is me in you and you in me, as if we were born to be together like this.
"Zixian..." After finally getting out of the house where every step was painstaking, Liu An stood at the door for a long time not knowing what to say.
On the other hand, Qin Ban was already prepared for Liu An to be so moved that he couldn't speak, so he naturally held back this man who liked him everywhere: "You're stupid, if it's just an ordinary house I like , it’s enough to call Linde or get rich, even if it’s full of blessings, why do I need to run by myself?”
What came out of my mouth was dissatisfaction, but I couldn't hear it at all, and I just blamed it.
At the same time, the gate of their Qin Mansion was blocked by a man pretending to be strange.
The visitor was dressed in ragged clothes and disheveled hair. From a distance, he looked like an old beggar on the street.But if you get closer, you don't have the smell of a beggar who hasn't bathed for a long time.
Fortunately, most of the servants of the Qin Mansion are well-trained, and Lin De and the others are extremely strict with them.Even if it is really begging, he will not give up on him.As long as you don't block the normal entrance and exit, they will let you shelter from the rain on a rainy day and maybe give you a bowl of hot food.
So the beggars in the capital were grateful for the benevolence of the Qin family, and spontaneously reached an agreement.Although the Qin family is kind-hearted, they will not disturb the Qin family unless they are extremely hungry.Hiding from the rain and begging for water will also consciously stand at the side door, not hindering entry and exit and blocking blessings.
"Excuse me...what can you do?" The doorman tilted his head in doubt and asked. This old man is really weird. In order not to offend others, he even used the honorific title when he spoke.
Xun Xia accidentally touched his unruly beard, and deliberately made things difficult for the porter and stood there for a long time without speaking.Seeing that the concierge looked puzzled but still waited patiently, he said slowly: "The old man came to see Master Qin because of an unfilial disciple."

Before Qin Ban and Liu An arrived at the Qin residence, they saw Fuman standing at the gate, stomping anxiously.Normally, the young master and Liu An should have already returned by this time, so he waited here specially to tell his young master not to be unprepared.
"Fuman, what are you doing standing at the door?" Qin Ban thought about the fact that nothing serious would happen to his house.Seeing Fuman's attitude is very strange.
As soon as Fuman saw the Qin family's carriage, he immediately went up to it. Just as he stretched out his hands to help Qin Ban, he saw a pair of hands that were much bigger than their young master's, and their hands were not as delicate as carved jade like their young master's. A rough hand stretched out.Subconsciously, he withdrew his hand. Luckily, Liu An didn't think of asking him to help him, so he jumped out of the car.
Receiving Fuman's slightly embarrassed expression, Liu An smiled indifferently.A row of big white teeth seemed indifferent.Turning around instead of Fuman's job, he stretched out his hand in the direction of the carriage.
"Why are you waiting at the door? Did something happen?" Qin Banren asked Fuman, who was looking very anxious, before standing still.It would be a big loss to prevent people from suffocating themselves.
Before Fuman spoke, he looked at Liu An who was standing aside without knowing it with a special look.Said in an indescribable tone: "Master, an old man who said he was Master Liu An came to our house. He has already gone to see the master's wife. The wife asked the younger one to pick up the master and change clothes before going."
It doesn't mean that Liu An is an outsider, so there is nothing to say in front of him.But he didn't expect Liu An's master to be such a disrespectful person.Really hard to describe.
Qin Ban raised his head and glanced at Liu An unexpectedly, and sure enough, he saw that Liu An who heard the news also had a shocked expression on his face, obviously the master who didn't know why had come.
"I didn't know the master would come." Liu An was afraid that Qin Ban would misunderstand him, so he immediately waved his hands and said, "Why don't you go change your clothes and I'll see the master first. Just come here later?"
Naturally, Liu An's own master didn't need to pay more attention to those formalities. What he wore on the school grounds was shorts that were easy to move, not official uniforms.Going to see the master right now, it’s not good to change into his official uniform and show the master. It’s fine to do this kind of thing in front of Qin Ban and the master. Let Mrs. Qin and the others see it, I’m afraid they will be laughed at , he couldn't do it.
Qin Ban nodded and was about to leave. He took it back as soon as he lifted his foot, stared seriously into Liu An's eyes and asked, "What kind of person does your master like? Are they dressed plainly or lively?" It was Liu An who met Qin's father and Qin's mother with him back then.Of course, Liu An wouldn't laugh at him like Qin Ban did.
He shook Qin Ban's hand intimately, and said helplessly, "I grew up on the mountain with my master. If you ask me what my master likes to do, I can barely say something, but what kind of person does he like... We don't meet a few who are worthy of master's evaluation every year..." The words were tactful, fully expressing his helplessness: "Master, he is very easy to get along with, and he will definitely like you."
At this time, the master who Liu An said was easy to get along with had already sat down with Qin Wei for a cup of tea.During this period, Mrs. Qin tried to find some topics, but every time she was fooled by the two of them and said a few words, she returned to tranquility.After many times, I simply didn't bother to talk to these two naive people and let them go.
Liu An's arrival broke the silence.Seeing the master whom I haven't seen for a long time, the excitement is revealed.Fortunately, I still remember saluting to Master Qin and Mrs. Qin first, and then I smiled and shouted at his master: "Master, why are you here?"
"If the old man doesn't come again, you are afraid that you will marry into their family as a woman? I want to see what kind of person can win your heart."
"Master, Zixian is very good. I have never met anyone who is better than him. You will definitely like him." After speaking, he glanced at the master whose hair and beard could not be distinguished: "Master, don't you?" Since I left, you haven't taken care of it?"
Their master is good at everything, knowledgeable and capable in both literature and martial arts. When he was a child, he also heard a lot about how good his master was, but in fact Liu An couldn't bear the feeling of being particularly tired after chasing, because he knew Master, is a person who can't even take care of his own hair and beard.It happened that his beard grew very fast and there were many, and after a long time he couldn't tell which was the beard and which was the hair.
"Hmph, the body, hair and skin are the parents." Xun Xia felt that he had been standing in front of outsiders for so long, and suddenly he was dismantled by his apprentice.At this moment, Hu Zi stared at his eyes, but he couldn't save his image, which was not much in the first place.Mrs. Qin beside her couldn't stop her smile.
"Rebel!" He turned his head to the side angrily, his face extremely ugly.
Liu An looked helplessly at his master, he was used to this way since he was a child.I don't feel scared at all, anyway, that's what the master said, isn't a rebel still an apprentice?
The reason why Qin Wei didn't talk over there was because he wanted to win. He already knew that Qin Ban liked to be there. He felt that Liu An had taken advantage of it and couldn't say anything. He could only puff up when he met Master Liu An, as if If you can win against Master Liu An on the air, you have a big chance of winning.
At this moment, because of Liu An's words, Xun Xia was defeated first, so he passed the steps in a good mood: "It is said that those who are capable are not in the small section, so I must be able to teach Liu An, that is the so-called A capable person. I haven’t been lucky enough to know Mr.’s last name yet.”
Satisfied with being flattered, Xun Xia made a grudging look and gave a very inappropriate salute in Qin Wei's direction: "You can't say that you are a mere grassroots, and you don't fit in with the market, so you belong to the mountains and forests. No need for your surname." Xun, named Xia"
"It turned out to be Mr. Xun. I was lucky enough to hear Mr. Xun's name. I didn't expect to see him here today." Regarding Xun Xia, Qin Wei's initial indifference turned into a complete surprise at this moment.
In the period of the first emperor, the civil strife in the Sui Dynasty was initially peaceful, and all wastes were prosperous.A powerful man who believed in Xun Mingxia appeared and proposed to reduce the tax for three years to relieve the people's suffering.
Because it was the first time to carry out this policy, most people in the Sui Dynasty thought it was impossible.
The prime minister of the current dynasty and his theories.It was decided at the beginning of the Sui Dynasty that taxation should be strengthened to fill the empty treasury.It was Xun Xia who insisted on his point of view, resisting all opinions and proposing that the people are the foundation of the country, and the people are not happy and the country is plagued by disasters.Later, in order to get the approval of the Supreme Emperor, he knelt at the door of the imperial study and begged with all his might.Know it with emotion and move it with reason to explain the importance of people living and working in peace and contentment.This made the first emperor determined to give it a go.
At the beginning of the policy, daily expenses are all reduced from the concubines of the majesty to the officials.The people know that they feel the kindness of the country, and no one will make trouble
The Guozijian in the Sui Dynasty usually had classes for one month, and during the class period, if there were no accidents, they were not allowed to go out.Then take two days off.In this way, when Qin Ban went to the Ministry of Finance to report, he was able to send Qi Wei and the others to study.
As for why they said it was their words, even though Chu Mansion asked people to look for it over and over again, Chu Yu seemed to be rooted in their Qin Mansion, and refused to go back no matter what.In desperation, the Chu family had no choice but to ask the housekeeper to send the things that Chu Yu could use in the Imperial College in the next month, and apologize to the Qin family by the way, and trouble them to bring another Chu Yu. Thank you for the two days of the Qin family. take care of.
"When you arrive at the Imperial College, you have to study hard, you know? And Qi Wei, even though I have returned to Beijing now, you can't just go to the husband and ask me to understand every time you encounter any problems. Waiting to come back and ask me. Now you have a month You have to be in the Imperial College, and you have only been home for two days, and even if I stay with you these two days, you can’t solve so many problems.” Qin Ban looked at Qi Wei’s blushing face from embarrassment, and continued to point out: “You But if I want to win the first prize in the examination, I have to solve the problems at the time. If many problems are piled up, and after a long time, I am afraid that I will forget them, and I will not be able to find the thoughts I had when I first discovered them. "
"Understood, brother." Qi Wei looked at Yan Yu, full of admiration as always.
Qin Ban nodded in satisfaction, saw Qi Wei's expectant eyes again, then patted his head and said, "Okay, I also know that you are studious and smart. You can handle things yourself. Of course, I don't encourage you If you study late at night and encounter problems, knock on your husband's door."
"Pfft." Qin Ban's carriage was big, and he thought he was going along the way, so he didn't prepare a second carriage.Chu Yu heard that Qin Ban was clearly teasing Qi Wei, but still had a serious face, so he couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Qin Ban just likes to play tricks.Liu An also had his own business today, and if he couldn't be with him, no one would bully him naturally, so he looked at Chu Yu who was smiling so blindly, he deliberately bullied others and said to Qi Wei: "Brother knows you You have a good brain, but you don’t know how to fight. I thought I’d find a reliable teacher to teach you when I arrived in the capital, but I didn’t have time. Now you should focus on your studies, like some physical work, It’s better to give it to some people who seem to have well-developed limbs but simple minds. After all, there are specializations in the arts, and a person’s energy is limited, so don’t spend too much time on those less important places.”
"..."
This is really... Cursing and invisible, you can't say it, could it be possible to ask Chu Yu to say, fuck you, such vulgar words?Or is it really like a no-brainer to argue with Qin Ban whether he has a brain?
After putting the two children down in the Guozijian, Qin Ban took Qin Cai to the household department.
When Qin Ban arrived at the household department, everyone had already been working for a long time.When they first heard the movement, they all cast curious eyes.There is no other reason. It has long been heard that His Majesty has appointed a new servant of the household department, but there has been no sign of him for a long time.
In a place like theirs, it's not uncommon for newcomers to come and old ones to go, but it's really unheard of for someone like Qin Ban to be sealed for more than ten days without seeing anyone.
"Lord Qin, Your Majesty told Lao Nu to wait for you for a long time, and said that you must go to the Imperial Study Room first when you come."
Originally, they thought that after all they were also old people from the household department. Even if Qin Ban was a celebrity in front of the emperor and Qin was the son of the lord, he should be the one to court them first.That father-in-law has been in the household department for a long time, and he never said what he is here for, so they can't just drive him away, right?But now...
Qin Ban was also a little surprised when he heard that His Majesty was looking for him. He nodded to the eunuch whom he didn't know, and then slightly returned the courtesy: "It's Qin Ban who asked eunuch to wait for a long time, so I will trouble eunuch to lead the way."
Following the little eunuch all the way, Qin Ban asked him intentionally: "Qin Ban has been away for a long time, but he didn't know that there are many people like eunuch around His Majesty. I don't know how to call him?"
It depends on the owner to beat a dog. This sentence is not fooling at all.Like the little eunuch who followed the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty, even the concubines and empresses in the palace would have to fawn on them when they saw it.Although he Qin Ban can't say he can't flatter, but in the end it's best if he can make friends.
It is said that good-looking people win. This Qin Ban is the person His Majesty likes, and he is also top-notch good-looking. Naturally, the little eunuch is willing to make friends with him.Now Qin Ban took the initiative to speak, and of course he said with a smile on his face: "It is enough for Master Qin to call you Xiao Dezi. The slave family is also lucky. It was only after getting the attention of Eunuch Zhang a few days ago that they had the opportunity to serve His Majesty. On weekdays, I also do the work of spreading rumors."
"My father-in-law is humble."
Like them, the words are simple, but the news is the most well-informed.There is a lot of oil and water for those who go to the palace to go to the mansion.That's no matter how many people ask for it, they can't ask for it.Being able to get it shows that this little virtuous son has more than a few strengths.
The imperial palace is big, and there is no car yet, so Qin Ban followed Xiao Dezi all the way from outside the palace to the imperial study.Xiao Dezi didn't go in, but just announced.
Pushing open the door and entering, Emperor Sui was reading the memorial.The one standing beside him was actually the prince and Taifu.
"Chen Qin Ban, see Your Majesty." Although he couldn't figure out why His Majesty called him here, Qin Ban didn't feel nervous.After all, you didn't do anything wrong, did you?
Emperor Sui didn't move in his seat, and he only raised his head when he heard Qin Ban's voice.He clearly didn't mean to be angry, but he just wanted to pretend to be unhappy and ignore Qin Ban so that people would find it funny and helpless to stand aside.
"I asked you to be the servant of the household department, but did I wrong you?" He had been waiting for Qin Ban to speak, but Qin Ban could hold back his temper.After thinking about it, Emperor Sui felt helpless, so he had to make a start himself.
Qin Ban wanted to roll his eyes helplessly but couldn't do so: "How come? Your Majesty may have misunderstood something."
"Hmph." Sui Emperor felt uncomfortable thinking about it. At the beginning, Qin Pan was obviously clinging to himself, and even Qin felt jealous when he saw that old guy.But now he just didn't figure it out for a while, so he pushed Qin Ban away: "Then why haven't you been willing to report to the Ministry of Household Affairs for so long?"
"Didn't Your Majesty take a ten-day vacation for Xu Chen? He said that the minister hadn't returned home for a long time, so he should cultivate himself at home and be filial by the way."
I can't refute what I said, so angry!
"Then your way of vacation is also unique enough. You went directly to the House of the Minister of the Household Department to make trouble, and I heard that Mrs. Wang Ru was almost forced to hang herself?" It is said that the imperial palace is a big prison. People inside want to come out, and people outside enter. don't go.
Mrs. Wang Ru's sister just entered the palace two years ago, and now she is only a talented person, but she was lucky enough to serve her bed yesterday.It just so happened that Mrs. Wang entered the palace and told her about it, so she took it as an interesting story and said so to Emperor Sui.Unexpectedly, the eyes of Emperor Sui, who had been bored for a long time, lit up when he heard this, and he said, "Qin Ban grew up under my watch, and the relationship between the crown prince and the second prince is very good."Then he left Ji Cairen alone, thinking that his majesty was trembling when he said something wrong.It's good for him, he just went to court today, so he asked the servants to wait for Qin Ban to come and laugh at him.
"..." Qin Ban said helplessly: "Then Wang Chen is just a son of an official. Knowing that His Majesty has just appointed me as the servant of the household department, he still tries to harass the humble minister. If he is better-looking, the next official will feel ashamed." It's blasphemy, but I can bear it when I think about it because he looks good, but he looks like a pig. He jumped the wall and bit us back. That's why we wanted to ask for an explanation.
That is to say, Mr. Wang Ru understands righteousness deeply, so I understood what was going on just as soon as I said it.It's just that the family law please come out. I'm afraid that Wang Chen only feels pain and his skin is not red, so Mrs. Wang will come to protect the cub.This is out of our control. "
"..." You can almost imagine the scene: "Then, shouldn't Aiqing arrive at the household department yesterday during the ten-day vacation?"
Qin Ban smiled as usual: "I think the ten days should be counted from the day after seeing His Majesty."
"..."
The prince and Taifu looked at the old and the young, and deeply felt that he was like an outsider...
☆, 096
When Qin Ban came out of the imperial study room, he felt baffled. He stood still and thought for a long time but couldn't come to a conclusion.I had no choice but to slap my head and smile, thinking it was the Sui Emperor's memorial that I was bored looking for two people to talk to.
"Master Qin, please stay." Taifu's voice came from behind, stopping Qin Ban from leaving.
Turning around and standing still, Qin Ban had a decent smile on his face.He has many opportunities to get along with the Taifu. It can be said that many times because of the same views, the two hit it off even though their identities and ages are different.It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the kind of year-end friendship.
"Teacher?" He didn't have much obsession with Taifu.He even knew that Emperor Sui deliberately joked with him when the Tai Tuo was around today, so that people would know that he had the favor and would not embarrass him.And the main person who made things difficult for him was undoubtedly the Taifu.In fact, in Qin Ban's opinion, this is not necessary.
The crown prince Taifu's name is Xu, his surname is Sun, and his style name is Ziqi.A few years older than Qin Wei, but now because of guilt, he did not hold his identity and spoke: "Your Majesty just means..."
Before he could say this, Qin Ban saw his discomfort and interrupted Taifu Sun: "Yes, Your Majesty asked me and Taifu to be mainly responsible for the reception of the envoys. In fact, we still have to rely on you. After all In previous years, Taifu Sun could accomplish this task by himself, but this year His Majesty is probably asking you to take me with you. I will study hard."
"Hmm..." Because Yan Yu lowered his posture, Taifu Sun couldn't express his apology.In the end, he could only smile and thank Yan Yu for his thoughtfulness.
Arriving at Hubu again, the atmosphere inside and outside is far from the beginning.If it is said that they still wanted to put on airs at first, but after a while, many people who know how to look at the form wanted to get together and make friends.
"Qin Shilang, come with me." A man who looked older hurried over and dared not neglect.
Qin Ban nodded towards the man.Following behind him, he formally walked into the household department.It should be said that although the official ranks of these six ministries are the same, the ministries have different priorities.The household department is the head of the six departments in charge of the country's financial power.Anyone who wants to spend from the treasury must ask him first.This also caused the officials of the household department to always feel that they were superior to other departments.
"The warriors in the Ministry of War officially quit every day. One day they build a school yard, and the next day the entire stable. They have so many things to do. Is it true that the treasury opens the door to them every day?"
Before Qin Ban could reach the door of Hubu Shangshu, he could hear someone talking from a distance who could tell he was very angry just by hearing the voice.
"Ah, it must be that the people from the Ministry of War have come to ask for money again." Receiving Qin Ban's gaze, Zhang Ji explained to Qin Ban with some helplessness, but he was accustomed to it: "The people from the Ministry of War will go up and down every day and cry. Your Majesty." You are a martial artist, you should always ask them what you want. But we have suffered from our household department, and it is not easy to complain to His Majesty. We can only vent our anger every time we see people who come to get money from them. It is better for us not to go in at the moment. Shang Shu is probably in a fit of anger."
Qin Ban raised his eyebrows, he didn't understand anything when he was new.Why not do it now that someone gives such a pointer?
The two of them actually started chatting in the courtyard like this.
Qin Ban is kind and knowledgeable.Now that someone is willing to listen, he is also happy to talk about it, which actually makes the atmosphere good.This is extremely inconsistent with the people from the military department who came out of disgrace.
Seeing that the man had nowhere to vent his anger, as soon as the door opened, he saw two people who were joking.Glancing at the door not far away, he almost rolled up his sleeves and hit someone.I feel ashamed.In the final analysis, he was just an errand runner. Their Shangshu knew what Hubu Shangshu was like for a long time, so he deliberately entrusted him with this errand.
"Are the people in the household department as idle as you are? It's no wonder that the household department always says they have no money." The person who spoke had a mean look on his face. The type that doesn't feel good.
Qin Ban has seen this kind of people a lot.He smiled and didn't take this person to heart at all.
But he didn't take it to heart, someone saw it.When the door behind him opened again, not to mention the soldier from the military department who came here to get the money, even Zhang Ji was so frightened that his whole body trembled.Purely subconscious behavior.
"Take the money and don't tell me about our household department. I'm afraid you're not out of your mind, right?" The household secretary is nosy.Coupled with the fact that the people in the Ministry of War are not pleasing to the eye, this makes it even more embarrassing to look at.
It is said that people who get along a lot with money will always subconsciously carry the taste of money, and their minds are only as big as copper coins.All the people in Hubu left in desperation.The man was still angry like a strange fish that the people from Dongying offered in the prince's letter not long ago.If you provoke it, it will explode with anger.
"My lord, this is Lord Qin..." Zhang Ji secretly wiped his sweat with his sleeve when the two of them were not paying attention.
"I know, Qin Tanhua has a great reputation, but those wooden sticks in the Ministry of War can't see Mount Tai."
☆, 097
In the blink of an eye, it has been more than a month since Qin Ban entered the household department.
The household department is in charge of taxation and financial affairs, and it has been a long time since it has its own rules.Because the foundation of the Sui Dynasty was stable for the people to live and work in peace and contentment, the old taxation system has never been greatly changed. Naturally, the work cannot be called busy, and after a long time you get used to it, it will become a law of its own.Before Qin Ban came, there was only one servant from the household department who felt comfortable.Now it's easier to have another helper.
Zhang Ji's official rank is not as good as Qin Ban's, but because Qin Ban was led by him when he first joined and had a good impression of him, he became a good colleague.
For Qin Ban, Zhang Ji was naturally willing to be kind to him.When encountering something Qin Ban doesn't understand, he often knows everything and can't stop talking.Take this moment as an example, the two of them got together and discussed in a low voice...
"The Ministry of War is that unlucky guy who came to look for your lord?" Qin Ban didn't like to say that these parents were short-sighted, but the Ministry of Households really didn't have much to do.
The only thing that can be said to be true is that Mr. Shang Shu shouted every day that he has no money and no money.But it's good for them to listen to this kind of words, if they really believe it, they are stupid.To put it another way, it's none of their business if they really have no money. What are people afraid of if they can't even enter the palace?
"Actually, I think those people in the Ministry of War did it on purpose. We saw that person coming, and our lords can only say a few words, and we won't even make trouble. If it's someone else, I'm afraid it's not that we can't say it." , but at least it’s easy to delay for two or three days.”
Don't look at every time Lord Shangshu scolds badly, he just pointed his nose and said that they are wasting food while they are alive.But which time didn't someone just take the money back after scolding?
Qin Ban squinted his eyes in a good mood, then nodded in agreement.He tidied up the supplies on his desk and said: "I think those people in the Ministry of War have good eyesight." Putting the pen in his hand down, he raised his head and said, "I'm going back first, staying here is quite boring. If Master Shangshu and they ask When I got up, I said I went to see the Taifu."
Recently, he always used the matter of receiving envoys to skip work. After a long time, even the other servant who worked with him got used to it, and everything remained the same as it was before Qin Ban came.It is not serious at all to say that Qin Ban is passive and sabotage.But it's hard to say anything.
After leaving Hubu, Qin Ban walked towards a newly landed mansion in a casual posture.
Liu An is now considered a general, so naturally he should have his own mansion.Even if you know you have it, you probably won't live there.Liu An didn't have much interest in the General's Mansion, which was about to be completed, but Qin Ban would come to visit it from time to time. One place got smaller and another got bigger. Over time, the mansion was full of Qin Ban's hobbies.
Originally thinking that he didn't say hello, Liu An should be with the second prince and the others at the newly built school grounds of the Ministry of War some time ago.But before the carriage stopped, he saw two figures, a handsome man and a woman standing there inappropriately.
"Stop the car, I'll walk over by myself." Qin Ban called the driver to stop, told him to stop here, and walked over alone.
"Brother Liu, I, I don't have other ideas, I just want to repay your life-saving grace. I, I, even if you ask me to be a maid in your house." skillful.After thinking about it for a long time since she was rejected by Liu An, she couldn't understand how a good man can like a man, and she was willing to kill off her children and grandchildren for this reason.
At first, she thought that was all there was to it, she would grow up a little bit and meet someone who was not as honorable as Liu An without Liu Anjun.That person will be an ordinary person, or it may be an ordinary servant of the Qin family, who will simply live his whole life without trouble.
But all this changed when the news that Liu An was preparing for the General's Mansion reached her ears.
Cui Qiao has always refused to admit that she doesn't mean that she likes Liu An much, and that the purpose of approaching Liu An is greater than liking.Now that she had mustered up her courage again, she felt even more aggrieved seeing Liu An's indifferent appearance.
"I am not the one who saved you, but Zixian. If I had known this would be the scene today, I would never have taken the initiative to cause trouble." Liu An didn't like her entanglement.
He appeared here purely because of timing, Qin Ban usually came once every two or three days, he wanted to give Qin Ban a surprise, so he sneaked here.I didn't expect to be blocked.He asked Cui Qiao how he knew his whereabouts, and Cui Qiao didn't say anything.This invisible helplessness made him feel irritable.
"Being a maid is everywhere. The conditions in Qin's residence are definitely better than mine. I advise you not to think about running around." Out of kindness, he reminded Cui Qiao. His eyes seemed to be mocking her self-recommendation.
The most distressing time for a woman is not when you yell like a shrew, and it's not when you cry like a helpless dog and can only look for help on others.Just like Cui Qiao, who wanted to cry, her white teeth lightly tapped her cherry lips and her slightly white lips, one could tell at a glance that she had studied it carefully.Her pitiful appearance made people feel soft at once.
Of course, the premise is to find someone who understands style.
"Besides, this General's Mansion is just a place to stay for a few days when you are bored. Usually, Zixian and I are so busy, so of course we want to live in the Qin Mansion." The reason why he is so careless is because I feel that there is no chance to come and live.
Although he is lonely, Qin Ban has a father, a mother and even a cheap brother.Although the two families were not far apart, and Qin Ban seemed interested, but after all, the Qin family was the main one.In this way, of course he wants to live with Qin Ban.
Regardless of Cui Qiao's complexion, Qin Ban, who had been listening happily all this time, couldn't stop the smile on his face now.
She didn't feel that she had anything to hide, and she happened to come out from the side at this moment, so frightened that Cui Qiao, who had a ghost in her heart, almost knelt down on the ground without her legs giving way.
"Zixian!" As a man who was able to sit upright, Liu An was of course happy to see Qin Ban and ran over immediately.It was clearly not a hot day, and there was no sweating, but Liu An wanted to use the handkerchief in his hand to wipe off the nonexistent sweat on Qin Ban's head.He was still muttering: "Walking here? Where is the car? The Ministry of Households is not close. How tired are you?"
The dissatisfaction in his tone almost overwhelmed the people around him.
Seeing that he was no longer coaxing and about to hit someone, Qin Ban explained amusedly: "No, I came in a carriage. It's just that I was just curious when I saw you chatting with others at the gate."
He almost made it clear that he was here to eavesdrop.
Cui Qiao, who was waiting to see Liu An get angry, only saw Liu An pursing her lips with deep eyes, and then said: "I'm here to wait for you. I wanted to give you a surprise and met her by accident. She must pull to me so..."
If she was given another chance, even if she was given an extra tael of gold, she wouldn't do such a thing!
Qin Ban couldn't deny Liu An's words, and he had clearly heard Liu An's rejection.He raised his eyebrows and said with a good temper: "I heard it all. Some people think that the Qin family's treatment is not good enough, and they want to climb high and ask you to give it a chance. You say that I can't force her to keep her. If I don't care, I will keep her. It's not interesting. Besides, she doesn't have a contract of selling her body anyway, so it's not a tight servant who can leave if she wants, so there's no need to be so sneaky."
Such a person who clearly wants to climb high branches, even if she is not climbing Liu An today, she should be driven away.
To accept slaves and servants is to be loyal, like Cui Qiao, you are afraid that she will turn around and give you a knife.After all, it's the people around you.
Cui Qiao's face was pale, it was good to leave the Qin Mansion in Xiushui back then, but now this is the capital city where he is not familiar.She is a weak woman without the support of the Qin family, she might be so degraded that she can't even find a place to live.
Qin Ban is a good person, but not a bad person.Cui Qiao dared to block his man so openly, so naturally he had nothing to say.He turned his head and didn't want to see that the person who was clearly asking for trouble and now asked him to forgive him for smashing his foot couldn't arouse any sympathy.
Liu An had always liked Qin Ban first, and now it is very annoying to be found by Cui Qiao twice or three times.Although he thought that she would not be able to please her alone, she opened her mouth and said nothing.After all, an insignificant outsider.
That's how Cui Qiao's expulsion was settled.When Qin Ban dragged Liu An to look at the back garden of the General's Mansion, he deliberately took a step forward and asked him, "Do you think I'm too unreasonable? You never thought how a weak woman like her can survive in the capital?"
"No, if she came to look for you today instead. I... I'm not sure if I'll hit someone." Liu An was called by name suddenly, but he answered very well.In fact, this problem is not difficult at all.
After getting a satisfactory answer, Qin Ban happily gave Liu An a kiss.The new General's Mansion is now almost completed.There are very few people coming and going.His movements were not big. After the kiss, he looked around slyly with his eyes, and smiled happily after finding that no one was paying attention.Like a cat that ate a fish, it makes people laugh.
"No matter what you want to do, it's right." Liu An hugged Qin Ban's waist from behind, obediently saying what Qin Ban liked to hear.
"I like this garden very much. There are also rooms and flower halls. I also like the study room." He smiled very beautifully, with sunshine in his eyes: "So, we can come and live here often in the future."
There is nothing better than being understood and supported by your lover.
The reason why Qin Ban said that was because Liu An was also a person of status.If he really lives in the Qin Mansion with him, his filial piety will be satisfied, but others will regard Liu An as a woman who married into their family, and they will be underestimated and even doubted. ability.It's not good to say it in the end.
Conversely, if he moved out to live with Liu An, it would only be a little more troublesome to go to and from the Qin Mansion every day, and there would be no other loss.
Before, because I didn't think I would live much, I just thought that Qin Ban would like it.Now that he looks at it with a different mind, he can find that there are surprises hidden everywhere that make him happy.
It's like there is a table much bigger than ordinary people's in this well-arranged study room.This was obviously prepared for the two of them working together.The bookshelf at the back has been made much larger, and many books have been placed in it.Most of them are poetry collections and allusions that Qin Ban likes to read, and there is no lack of his military formation and his various travel notes to pass the time.There is me in you and you in me, as if we were born to be together like this.
"Zixian..." After finally getting out of the house where every step was painstaking, Liu An stood at the door for a long time not knowing what to say.
On the other hand, Qin Ban was already prepared for Liu An to be so moved that he couldn't speak, so he naturally held back this man who liked him everywhere: "You're stupid, if it's just an ordinary house I like , it’s enough to call Linde or get rich, even if it’s full of blessings, why do I need to run by myself?”
What came out of my mouth was dissatisfaction, but I couldn't hear it at all, and I just blamed it.
At the same time, the gate of their Qin Mansion was blocked by a man pretending to be strange.
The visitor was dressed in ragged clothes and disheveled hair. From a distance, he looked like an old beggar on the street.But if you get closer, you don't have the smell of a beggar who hasn't bathed for a long time.
Fortunately, most of the servants of the Qin Mansion are well-trained, and Lin De and the others are extremely strict with them.Even if it is really begging, he will not give up on him.As long as you don't block the normal entrance and exit, they will let you shelter from the rain on a rainy day and maybe give you a bowl of hot food.
So the beggars in the capital were grateful for the benevolence of the Qin family, and spontaneously reached an agreement.Although the Qin family is kind-hearted, they will not disturb the Qin family unless they are extremely hungry.Hiding from the rain and begging for water will also consciously stand at the side door, not hindering entry and exit and blocking blessings.
"Excuse me...what can you do?" The doorman tilted his head in doubt and asked. This old man is really weird. In order not to offend others, he even used the honorific title when he spoke.
Xun Xia accidentally touched his unruly beard, and deliberately made things difficult for the porter and stood there for a long time without speaking.Seeing that the concierge looked puzzled but still waited patiently, he said slowly: "The old man came to see Master Qin because of an unfilial disciple."

Before Qin Ban and Liu An arrived at the Qin residence, they saw Fuman standing at the gate, stomping anxiously.Normally, the young master and Liu An should have already returned by this time, so he waited here specially to tell his young master not to be unprepared.
"Fuman, what are you doing standing at the door?" Qin Ban thought about the fact that nothing serious would happen to his house.Seeing Fuman's attitude is very strange.
As soon as Fuman saw the Qin family's carriage, he immediately went up to it. Just as he stretched out his hands to help Qin Ban, he saw a pair of hands that were much bigger than their young master's, and their hands were not as delicate as carved jade like their young master's. A rough hand stretched out.Subconsciously, he withdrew his hand. Luckily, Liu An didn't think of asking him to help him, so he jumped out of the car.
Receiving Fuman's slightly embarrassed expression, Liu An smiled indifferently.A row of big white teeth seemed indifferent.Turning around instead of Fuman's job, he stretched out his hand in the direction of the carriage.
"Why are you waiting at the door? Did something happen?" Qin Banren asked Fuman, who was looking very anxious, before standing still.It would be a big loss to prevent people from suffocating themselves.
Before Fuman spoke, he looked at Liu An who was standing aside without knowing it with a special look.Said in an indescribable tone: "Master, an old man who said he was Master Liu An came to our house. He has already gone to see the master's wife. The wife asked the younger one to pick up the master and change clothes before going."
It doesn't mean that Liu An is an outsider, so there is nothing to say in front of him.But he didn't expect Liu An's master to be such a disrespectful person.Really hard to describe.
Qin Ban raised his head and glanced at Liu An unexpectedly, and sure enough, he saw that Liu An who heard the news also had a shocked expression on his face, obviously the master who didn't know why had come.
"I didn't know the master would come." Liu An was afraid that Qin Ban would misunderstand him, so he immediately waved his hands and said, "Why don't you go change your clothes and I'll see the master first. Just come here later?"
Naturally, Liu An's own master didn't need to pay more attention to those formalities. What he wore on the school grounds was shorts that were easy to move, not official uniforms.Going to see the master right now, it’s not good to change into his official uniform and show the master. It’s fine to do this kind of thing in front of Qin Ban and the master. Let Mrs. Qin and the others see it, I’m afraid they will be laughed at , he couldn't do it.
Qin Ban nodded and was about to leave. He took it back as soon as he lifted his foot, stared seriously into Liu An's eyes and asked, "What kind of person does your master like? Are they dressed plainly or lively?" It was Liu An who met Qin's father and Qin's mother with him back then.Of course, Liu An wouldn't laugh at him like Qin Ban did.
He shook Qin Ban's hand intimately, and said helplessly, "I grew up on the mountain with my master. If you ask me what my master likes to do, I can barely say something, but what kind of person does he like... We don't meet a few who are worthy of master's evaluation every year..." The words were tactful, fully expressing his helplessness: "Master, he is very easy to get along with, and he will definitely like you."
At this time, the master who Liu An said was easy to get along with had already sat down with Qin Wei for a cup of tea.During this period, Mrs. Qin tried to find some topics, but every time she was fooled by the two of them and said a few words, she returned to tranquility.After many times, I simply didn't bother to talk to these two naive people and let them go.
Liu An's arrival broke the silence.Seeing the master whom I haven't seen for a long time, the excitement is revealed.Fortunately, I still remember saluting to Master Qin and Mrs. Qin first, and then I smiled and shouted at his master: "Master, why are you here?"
"If the old man doesn't come again, you are afraid that you will marry into their family as a woman? I want to see what kind of person can win your heart."
"Master, Zixian is very good. I have never met anyone who is better than him. You will definitely like him." After speaking, he glanced at the master whose hair and beard could not be distinguished: "Master, don't you?" Since I left, you haven't taken care of it?"
Their master is good at everything, knowledgeable and capable in both literature and martial arts. When he was a child, he also heard a lot about how good his master was, but in fact Liu An couldn't bear the feeling of being particularly tired after chasing, because he knew Master, is a person who can't even take care of his own hair and beard.It happened that his beard grew very fast and there were many, and after a long time he couldn't tell which was the beard and which was the hair.
"Hmph, the body, hair and skin are the parents." Xun Xia felt that he had been standing in front of outsiders for so long, and suddenly he was dismantled by his apprentice.At this moment, Hu Zi stared at his eyes, but he couldn't save his image, which was not much in the first place.Mrs. Qin beside her couldn't stop her smile.
"Rebel!" He turned his head to the side angrily, his face extremely ugly.
Liu An looked helplessly at his master, he was used to this way since he was a child.I don't feel scared at all, anyway, that's what the master said, isn't a rebel still an apprentice?
The reason why Qin Wei didn't talk over there was because he wanted to win. He already knew that Qin Ban liked to be there. He felt that Liu An had taken advantage of it and couldn't say anything. He could only puff up when he met Master Liu An, as if If you can win against Master Liu An on the air, you have a big chance of winning.
At this moment, because of Liu An's words, Xun Xia was defeated first, so he passed the steps in a good mood: "It is said that those who are capable are not in the small section, so I must be able to teach Liu An, that is the so-called A capable person. I haven’t been lucky enough to know Mr.’s last name yet.”
Satisfied with being flattered, Xun Xia made a grudging look and gave a very inappropriate salute in Qin Wei's direction: "You can't say that you are a mere grassroots, and you don't fit in with the market, so you belong to the mountains and forests. No need for your surname." Xun, named Xia"
"It turned out to be Mr. Xun. I was lucky enough to hear Mr. Xun's name. I didn't expect to see him here today." Regarding Xun Xia, Qin Wei's initial indifference turned into a complete surprise at this moment.
In the period of the first emperor, the civil strife in the Sui Dynasty was initially peaceful, and all wastes were prosperous.A powerful man who believed in Xun Mingxia appeared and proposed to reduce the tax for three years to relieve the people's suffering.
Because it was the first time to carry out this policy, most people in the Sui Dynasty thought it was impossible.
The prime minister of the current dynasty and his theories.It was decided at the beginning of the Sui Dynasty that taxation should be strengthened to fill the empty treasury.It was Xun Xia who insisted on his point of view, resisting all opinions and proposing that the people are the foundation of the country, and the people are not happy and the country is plagued by disasters.Later, in order to get the approval of the Supreme Emperor, he knelt at the door of the imperial study and begged with all his might.Know it with emotion and move it with reason to explain the importance of people living and working in peace and contentment.This made the first emperor determined to give it a go.
At the beginning of the policy, daily expenses are all reduced from the concubines of the majesty to the officials.The people know that they feel the kindness of the country, and no one will make trouble
