When Ji Yuzhu woke up, it was already bright.

Jiang Weiyan and the others also got up early and finished their exercise, and went to Beijing to report on their duties after breakfast.

Ji Yuzhu put away the note on the table, opened the door and went out.

In the yard, Uncle Peng is washing clothes. There is a big basin full, it looks like it belongs to Chen Qing and the others?

"Uncle Peng." Ji Yuzhu greeted hurriedly.

Hearing the sound, Uncle Peng raised his head: "Brother Ji is up? Wash up quickly, there is a small bowl of porridge left for you in the pot." He smiled a little embarrassedly, "Master Yan won't let you keep more, and said It’s because I’m afraid that if you get up late, you won’t be able to eat lunch after eating too much.”

"It's okay, thank you, Uncle." Ji Yuzhu scratched his head, "It's because I got up late, Brother Yan and the others have been away for a long time, right?"

Uncle Peng pursed his lips and smiled: "How can you compare with them? It was much harder when they were fighting than on the road. Your first brother, traveling with them for more than half a month, is not sick or in pain. It is already very good, and he will sleep for a while It's normal to be late, don't worry about it."

"Hmm." Ji Yuzhu looked at the clothes in the laundry tub, "Uncle, are you doing their laundry?"

Uncle Peng smiled shyly: "Well, anyway, I'm idle, and I'm helping them wash their clothes."

"So much~ I'll come to help later."

Uncle Peng quickly waved his hand: "That's no good, your first brother, how can you help other men wash clothes. But Young Master Yan's clothes can be used."

When Ji Yuzhu thought of the dirty clothes that he sorted out last night and was going to wash today, his face instantly became hot, and he hurriedly said a few words before turning around to wash up.

After breakfast, Ji Yuzhu took out the dirty clothes of the two of them, found a small stool and sat down next to Brother Peng, rolled up his sleeves and began to wash.

Uncle Peng hesitated to speak: "Why don't you stop washing? Put it here, and I'll wash it together."

"Huh?" Ji Yuzhu looked up suspiciously.

"Master Yan is from the Hou family anyway, no matter what, he won't let his husband do the laundry." Uncle Peng felt a little distressed.

"Hasn't he been expelled from the family? What kind of Marquis Mansion. Besides, I am not from a rich family, and I am used to doing these housework in the past." Ji Yuzhu comforted him while washing.

Uncle Peng pursed his lips, and comforted him in turn: "It's okay, Young Master Yan can do it, and I will definitely not make you suffer again in the future."

"...Hmm." Uncle Peng, did he imagine how poor he was from?

Ji Yuzhu black thread.

Suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly called Uncle Peng: "Uncle, why was Brother Yan expelled from the Hou family?"

"Oh," Uncle Peng sighed, "I don't know, one day suddenly... I don't know what that family is thinking, poor brother Yan is doing well, and suddenly he was expelled from the family, listen The old man said that because of this, he was almost dismissed from office."

"Brother Yan has other brothers, right?"

"Of course, Young Master Yan is the eldest son of the concubine, and he has two younger brothers and a younger sister. The younger brothers are both descended from the concubine, and the younger sister is also born from the concubine." Uncle Peng wrung out the clothes on his hands and put them in another wooden basin, "Yan The young master's aunt, she can't stand up by herself and she is not favored, and she doesn't care about Young Master Yan since she was a child. Young Master Yan has been with Old Hou Ye since she was very young."

It seems to be a dispute between the concubine and the concubine?Ji Yuzhu was thoughtful.

Uncle Peng over there continued to babble: "Later, when the old master went away, we entrusted our old master to take care of Young Master Yan. Young Master Yan started from being so small," raised his hand and gestured at his height, "he came to our General's Mansion to study all day long Practicing martial arts, it can be said that he grew up with the young master." The young master should refer to You Feng.

Then while Uncle Peng was doing the laundry, he described to Ji Yuzhu how cute Young Master Yan was back then, and what mischievous things he did with him.

Speaking of Jiang Weiyan, when they entered the capital, they went straight to the Ministry of Officials to report, and then waited on the sidelines.

It was estimated that it was just when the court was over in the early morning, someone from the palace rushed to summon Jiang Weiyan to the palace to have an audience.

Following the palace people to the side hall of Emperor Yongyuan's bedroom, Jiang Weiyan walked in without squinting, bowed his head and bowed to the seated Emperor Yongyuan.

He didn't stand up until he heard the voice from above.

"General Jiang has been working hard these days." The old and majestic voice carried the tone of a long-time superior.

"The duty of the last general." Jiang Weiyan cupped his hands and replied calmly.

"It's been a while since we saw each other, but Wei Yan seems to have gotten fatter." The fourth prince standing beside him - King Ning Luo Qian joked.

Only then did Jiang Weiyan realize that there were only three of them in the side hall, and hurriedly knelt down to salute King Ning.

"Forget it, let's get up and talk." Luo Qian helped him up.

"I'm ashamed of the general." Jiang Weiyan confessed, "But this trip, compared to the battlefield, is really easy."

"Tell me about the situation over there." Emperor Yongyuan waved his hand and turned directly to the topic.

"Yes." Jiang Weiyan responded, "All the soldiers' knives and guns seized by the Qingping County Private Army Camp have been recorded and handed over to Zhang Tongzhi. Their daily food and salary can basically be determined to come from Qingping County, Qinghe County, and Xuzhou Prefecture in the upper reaches of Jianshui The food and salaries they recently put into the warehouse were transported by water from Xuzhou Prefecture. The list of officials involved in the two counties of Qingping and Qinghe has been investigated, please take a look at it." He took out the memorial, took a few steps forward and handed it to Emperor Yongyuan respectfully, and then returned it Originally, "As for Xuzhou Mansion..."

Luo Qian said, "Father, at the Xuzhou Mansion, General Jiang has sent me a message. I'm investigating, and I have a general idea."

Emperor Yongyuan frowned slightly, looked at the memorial slowly, and put it down after a while: "Oh, is it because I am old? I am still sitting on this seat, and I can't wait to start to gather troops!"

This topic...Jiang Weiyan didn't dare to answer, so he quickly lowered his head and pretended he didn't hear it.

"Father, the subject is disrespectful, so why blame yourself." Luo Qian comforted, "Fortunately, the third brother did not cause a catastrophe, and there is still room for change."

"That's all, let him calm down, he jumps up and down all day." Emperor Yongyuan sighed, and turned to look at Jiang Weiyan majesticly, "General Jiang, this time the errand is a secret, and your credit is not good. How about putting the reward on hold for now, and finding a chance to make it up for you later?" Although he was asking, his tone was indifferent.

"Please trouble your majesty to worry. Originally, this matter was for the last general to commit crimes and meritorious deeds. How can he give credit for it?"

"Well, I just forgot that you were expelled." Emperor Yongyuan suddenly realized, and then asked curiously, "Tell me, why were you expelled? Why is there no news outside?"

Jiang Weiyan smiled wryly: "It's just a scandal in the family, it's hard to say it out and spoil the ears of the saint."

"Father, I have an idea." Luo Qian smiled, "General Jiang has done a great job this time. Since it is not easy to reward him clearly, I can give him a little convenience now."

"Oh? What's convenient?"

"Isn't General Jiang out of the clan? Father, why don't you just give him an open genealogy book so that he can form a clan of his own. It doesn't cost money or increase his rank. It's just a matter of a few words, but It will make General Jiang feel better."

Jiang Weiyan's eyes lit up when he heard this.

Emperor Yongyuan was thoughtful, and thought for a while: "Then let's do this."

Jiang Weiyan smiled happily, holding the freshly released imperial genealogy, and followed Luo Qian out of the palace gate.

"Don't worry now? I'm not afraid that people from the Hou's mansion will come and talk again." Luo Qian jokingly said.

Jiang Weiyan thanked him sincerely: "This time, you are much appreciated."

Luo Qian waved his hand: "Don't give me this nonsense, just invite me to drink a few more times."

"No problem, when my house is built, I'll treat you to delicious and spicy food." Jiang Weiyan readily agreed.He has grown up with him since he was a child, and he knows very well how hot and unhappy this pious guy is in private.

Luo Qian sneered: "What good food can you eat there! I heard that your Toyo family bought land, are you planning to build a house in the suburbs?"

"Well, anyway, with my rank, I don't need to go to court, and it only takes half an hour to ride a horse to Beijing." Hehe smiled, "As I don't have a fixed property, I can live outside the city and build something bigger and more beautiful." Otherwise, with my little wealth, I wouldn't even be able to afford a bigger house in the city."

Luo Qian didn't believe it: "Yes, I think you made a lot of money with You Feng."

"No matter how much it is, I have to use it to build a house. My wife wants to open a private school. This house has to be bigger." Jiang Weiyan complained distressedly.

"Daughter-in-law? Where did the daughter-in-law come from?" Luo Qian asked curiously.

Jiang Weiyan chuckled: "I came back from Qingping County. This time I made a lot of money on business trips." He looked smug.

"Look at your complacency! You're 22 years old and you just got your wife, how dare you show off? My son is about to get enlightened." Luo Qian complained, "When can I drink your wedding wine?"

"Does Ning Que Wulan know?" Jiang Weiyan snorted, and then looked forward to it, "Now the courtyard is built. We are all preparing books in the government, and tomorrow I will go to register."

"Cohabitation? So fast? Isn't it married yet?" Luo Qian was surprised.

"Well, you can take your time getting married. I don't worry about him being helpless in Qingping County. Hurry up and get these things done, and we can take him back to Beijing together. Otherwise, he will come back with me without a name and no title, and be punished by others." What should I do if I complain?"

"This makes me even more curious. Who is this, who can make you plan everything for him."

"My daughter-in-law, of course I have to plan for him. Why are you curious? If you are curious, go home and see your daughter-in-law."

"Why, your wife is also a brother?"

"Of course. I don't like those delicate ladies."

Luo Qian nodded sympathetically: "Brother is good, I can take Yi'er to your place next time." Suddenly remembered that he mentioned the private school just now, "Wait, does your wife have a reputation?"

"Of course, Xiucai. Otherwise, how would he open the Mongolian Pavilion?"

"The Three Character Classic you sent back for no reason last time was written by him?"

"Yeah, not bad, right? It's catchy. I thought your Haohao was about to get started, so I asked him to make an extra copy."

Luo Qian was thoughtful when he heard the words: "It seems that I really want to get acquainted."
