Bastards are difficult

The next day was about to leave, Zhang Xiu deliberately woke up early, but when she woke up, she found that the person who shared the bed with her last night was gone.

Mingyan had already prepared a towel, face wash, water and mouthwash, and as soon as Zhang Xiu woke up, she hurried forward to help him get dressed.

In fact, Zhang Xiu is not used to being served by others, but the clothes here are too complicated. He has been here for several months, but it is still not smooth, so he can only ask for help.

Seeing Mingyan's chubby face, red and swollen eyes, bloodshot inside, but bright and bright, he smiled and said, "Have you figured it out?"

Mingyan's eye circles immediately turned red again: "It's clear. In fact, I'm afraid that the young master will suffer."

"Fool, when did you see your young master suffer a disadvantage?"

That girl Hongtao has so much face in front of her mother, Hang, she was caught by him and had an outright attack once, and Hongtao's arrogance was extinguished a lot, who told her to tease him when she was idle? On top of that, if he dared to stir up the relationship between the Zhang family's mother and son, and dared to say that his mother was a prostitute who was not allowed to sing on stage, he had to be prepared to accept his anger.

When Mingyan thought of this, she became calm. His young master even bullied the sixth master, um, that's good.

Zhang Xiu sighed: "You, learn more in the future. I understand that you are coming to me, but this is not just a matter of bluffing. There is a saying called doing bad things with good intentions. You often hang out in the capital. Didn't you see How many unlucky people have been dragged down by servants? I'm not afraid of you being honest, but I'm afraid of you being smart."

"Yes, young master, I understand."

"It's good to understand, what about him?"

Ming Yan curled her lips: "Young Master Jiang woke up early in the morning and is boxing in the yard. It should be over by now."

Knowing that Mingyan is still a bit puzzled, but it doesn't matter, he is still young, and Mingyan is not big, and sometimes he has a good time. Mingyan is not stupid, but he is a little smarter. It doesn't matter if he meets his own wishes Son.

As soon as he went out, Jiang Minghao came up sweating: "Wash your face and go eat, there will be a stick of incense before you go. Do you have anything to take?"

"No." He is penniless, where can he bring anything?Besides, those people are not rare.

When the two of them went to eat, Mingyan was packing things in the back. In fact, there was nothing to clean up. It's just that Mingyan was a little apprehensive towards Jiang Minghao. At first, he looked down on him. Later, he felt that this kid was too arrogant, so he was taught by his young master. After watching this kid practice his fists and kicks again, he began to feel lucky that he didn't make another mistake.

Mingyan cried to find Gao Jin last night. The guards were all four people in one room, but the other three were taken aback. Gao Jin took Mingyan to the outside of the house and waited for him to cry enough before asking. Tell your grievances, emphasizing that you are obviously doing it for less.

Gao Jin sighed. Although he didn't sign the deed of sale, he stayed in many houses. Others beat and scolded the servants. In serious cases, he lost his life. However, Ming Yan still complained that the master didn't know what to do. Seriously. I don't know the blessing in the blessing.

Mingyan is actually not stupid, but he grew up with Zhang Xiu, which inevitably blurred the boundary between master and servant. Besides, Zhang Xiu was also Mingyan's playmate when he was young, and he was at least somewhat obedient to Mingyan's reticence. For face, now Zhang Xiu asked him to slap her for the sake of an outsider. This is not just a matter of slapping, the important thing is that the face is lost, and the relationship with Zhang Xiu is weakened. This is the reason why Mingyan feels aggrieved and afraid. After all, he was only in his teens, and the Zhang family had a simple population of only a few servants. Without the strife between the servants of the big family, the master above couldn't bear a little grievance.

Gao Jin talked a lot that night, he didn't make sense, he just talked about what he saw and heard about the experiences of his servants, and at the end he only emphasized that to be a servant is to be a servant, he is the master You are a servant, you can listen to whatever he says, no master likes his servants to be disobedient, especially questioning his own decision.

Mingyan also asked his mother specifically, but his mother only said that it was Madam's order.

Mingyan instantly understood his position, he was a servant, but he put himself in the same position as the young master, that's why he felt uncomfortable and wronged, but he was a servant, so why should he be wronged?

Zhang Xiu didn't know that Mingyan had thought so much.

After eating, we boarded the carriage.

It was originally a carriage for the Hang family and little sister Zhang Suxin, a carriage for Aunt Yu and Zhang Xiu, and a carriage for the three girls and the old Zheng's family and Zheng Mingyan.

Now that there are more people, they can only hire another carriage. Zhang Xiu and Jiang Minghao share the carriage, and Mingyan and the coachman are outside.

Fortunately, the weather has been beautiful, and the weather has been sunny these days. Although it’s a bit sultry, it’s better than eating sand in a strong wind. It’s annoying that this place doesn’t have much rain all year round, and even the air is hot and dry. , took a breath, and his throat seemed to be on fire.

Regarding this, Jiang Minghao just said to get used to it. Zhang Xiu held on to the water bag and took a sip every once in a while, but Jiang Minghao seldom drank water, but his lips were still plump and plump without a trace of chapping. This physique It's just a taboo, Zhang Xiu is all kinds of envious and jealous, sometimes she just climbs into Hang's car to play with Zhang Suxin. The little girl is in good health, and she likes to listen to her brother telling various stories. He listened with a smile and did not interrupt.

After seven days like this, they finally arrived at Yongding Mansion. Zhang Xiu finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the city gate from a distance.

Next door to Mary, Laozi's bones are about to fall apart, and he finally sees the hope of life.

Jiang Minghao sneered at that look of tears in his eyes.

Zhang Xiu didn't care about him: "You don't understand, this is an oasis in the desert, an island in the ocean, a tent in the wilderness, this is the hope of mankind~"

Jiang Minghao only cast him a contemptuous look.

Hang sent Zhang Quan to report the letter early in the morning, and he wept with joy when he saw the city gate from a distance.

Zhang Xiu has sat outside since seeing the city gate, looking around to see the northwest view, and when he sees a tall city on one side and a rich gate with yellow tiles on the other, there are people on both sides watching the gate, and in the middle is a lively market. There are no fixed buildings in the city, only large and small tents and yurts, bustling and lively.

Zhang Xiu looked at it and burst out laughing: "Hey, Minghao, tell me what old Prince Jing thought when the mansion was first built."

Jiang Minghao turned his face away. His grandfather is still in good health. The most proud thing in his life is not keeping those ferocious foreigners out of the country, but building this palace that can rival Yongding City. At that time, it was built completely according to the standard of a small city, which was a little smaller than the imperial city, but the others were not bad.

In fact, those of the younger generation are very strange. Why did Emperor Taizong agree? You must know that if this was put aside for the previous dynasty, it might be a rebellion, weird, too weird.

Zhang Qian came outside the city to wait when he got the news early in the morning. He was very excited when he saw the convoy approaching from a distance.

He is happiest when his frail daughter is gradually getting better. At first, he thought he was going to die like this, which shows that God is merciful; what is most exciting is that he is finally reunited with his beloved wife. He has never been out of Beijing. The separation of nearly a month this time is the longest time since we got married. Xiao Biesheng's new marriage is never a nonsense; and the most worrying thing is his son Zhang Xiu. I don't know if this child has become wild if he is left alone. Alright, um, check your studies carefully.

A family reunion has countless things to say, and the family is progressing home. Jiang Minghao originally wanted to go home immediately, but then he thought about being a human being without a head and a tail, so he had better say goodbye to his master. Besides, those guys saw him. He didn't know what strange things he would say, and he was not willing to look at their faces, so he could drag on for a moment.

Regardless of the conversation, Zhang Xiu immediately tidied up and saluted. Zhang Xiu followed Zhang Qian to the study, and explained Jiang Minghao's affairs by the way.

Zhang Qian stroked his moustache thoughtfully. He has been here for almost a month. Prince Jing’s Mansion is here, that is, the emperor of the land. People are talking about a lot of news about them. Besides, the previous magistrate also He was very kind, and told him all the relationships here, including the complicated relationships in Prince Jing's mansion.

Old Prince Jing is a strange person. He has been loyal to the old concubine all his life and has never taken a concubine. Two of his three sons died in battle, and in the end only one son remained. After the old concubine died, she guarded her son. Let his son become a prince, and he brought a few heartfelt guards and internal officials to live in a villa, eating wine, fishing and tasting tea, as if he was hiding in the city.

Prince Jing has five sons and two daughters. The eldest son and the second daughter are born of the concubine. They all look like their mothers. It is rare to see the shadow of foreigners. The second son and three daughters are born of the concubine Zheng, and the third son and concubine Du , the fourth son, the second daughter and the sixth son who died prematurely were born by the concubine Li. Li Su, if it wasn't for her eyes not returning to her ancestors, she might have been strangled to death by Prince Jing when she was born.

During Zhang Qian's stay in Anding Mansion, he had heard that Prince Jing's five sons were at odds, but he had never heard of news that a prince was missing from Prince Jing's mansion. As far as Zhang Qian knew, the five sons of Prince Jing were named Jiang Minghao. The prince is lost, so there is no way to keep the news.

This also shows two points. One is that the five princes are used to being ignored by others. Is there no news at all?

But this involves the privacy of Prince Jing's mansion, Zhang Qian dare not think deeply about it.

He only called someone to invite Jiang Minghao to the study.

Zhang Qian identified Jiang Minghao's identity at the first sight. His appearance was very similar to folk rumors, but he still needed facts to prove it, so he said with a gentle smile, "Young master, don't panic, you still remember your relatives at home." And the address? The young master said that I can send someone to take the young master back."

Jiang Minghao subconsciously glanced at Zhang Xiu, Zhang Xiu bared his teeth at him, Jiang Minghao turned his head and stared at Zhang Qian closely, as if he could see the flowers on his face: "Prince Jing's mansion, send me to Jing This is the palace, and other fathers and kings will explain to you."

Zhang Qian stood up suddenly: "Are you really the fifth son of Prince Jing?"

Jiang Minghao gave Zhang Xiu a hard look and said coldly: "Didn't your son tell you already?"

Zhang Xiu was very innocent, and directly blamed his father: "The surname Jiang is very rare here, and I'm just guessing at random. The main reason is that my father has heard of your name."

The feud between Prince Jing's five sons was big news in the local area.

Zhang Qian heard the words and shouted: "Zhang Xiu, "The Analects of Confucius" has been copied a hundred times, and I will check it myself in ten days."

Fuck me, it's just inexplicable, Zhang Xiu said that he was an innocent fan, and blamed that bastard Jiang Minghao. He wanted to stare at Jiang Minghao when he said that, but found that the corner of his mouth was hooked.

He was actually laughing, Jiang Minghao could actually laugh.

Zhang Xiu felt that the sun was about to come out from the west.

It's been a few days since I knew Jiang Minghao. At such a young age, Zhang Xiu has never seen him smile before, and he is not afraid of premature aging. Now this guy is actually smiling, smiling!

Jiang Minghao expressed that he was in a good mood seeing Zhang Xiu deflated, so he was willing to say a few more words: "This time, I would like to thank Mr. Zhang and your son. If it weren't for your son, I wouldn't be able to return to Anding Mansion so quickly. Thank you for saving my life." If you dare to forget, you must be grateful.”

Zhang Qian quickly waved his hands: "No need, this is what a lowly official should do, as long as the fifth son is fine." He didn't want to get involved with Prince Jing and cause him to die early, it would not be a good thing to get an account today .

Jiang Minghao hooked the corners of his lips again, apparently understanding what he meant.
