imprinted you in my heart

Little Lord?The guards were a little puzzled, they all knew the young master of the hall, and they didn't go out today, could it be that they haven't seen the one who lives in the palace since they came?But I didn't hear that they were coming back today. Looking at the people behind them in the second half of the month, although they were all dressed in civilian clothes, they had an unusual aura. They looked more like guards than these guards, but they looked a bit like the Forbidden Army guarding the city.

Bu Qianxue decided to come back on the spur of the moment, thinking that Shi Min had promised to let someone tell the family, but when she really came, she didn't want to tell her in advance, and wanted to surprise her grandmother, so she didn't let anyone come.

What she didn't expect was that not only the well-dressed guards were replaced in the house, but even the plaque on the gate was replaced with Buhou Mansion.

Although the guard had already guessed in his mind, he felt that since he had taken the money from Buhou's mansion, he had to do his own duty, so he stopped his momentum and saluted immediately, "But Zhonggong returned to the mansion?".

"Exactly" Ban Yue almost wanted to get mad again, maybe because he had been cautious in the palace for too long, and he let go of his nature when he came back. Looking at the three new characters on the door plaque, he was full of confidence.

The conjecture of "Zhonggong Wanfu Jin'an" was confirmed, and the guards saluted according to the etiquette. "Wai Li" saw a guard running in to report, but Bu Qianxue didn't stop him. The others finally entered the gate of their house.

Bu Qianxue walked to the screen wall and suddenly turned her head to Ban Yue and said, "The guards are just loyal to their duties. It's normal for newcomers not to know me. Don't do this again next time, especially don't be overbearing. Remember the four words of modesty and prudence. Lu Yan is also the same." ".

"Yes, I won't dare to do it again next time." What Bu Qianxue said, Ban Yue felt that she had gone too far just now. In the palace, she was always cautious in her words and deeds, but when she returned home, she was too slack. I feel a little sorry for my young master's constant teaching.

Lu Yan, who was walking in the same row with Ban Yue, heard it clearly, and he didn't panic when he was suddenly called on. He saluted calmly and said, "I would like to follow the teachings of the middle palace."

Lu Yan is an old man in the palace, and he has passed the internal official examination. He treats people and things well, and has a calm and unassuming personality. Eating, it broke her heart.

Bu Qianxue went directly to the main room when someone came to tell her that they were all in the main room. When she got to the main room, she saw three grandmothers and her cousin waiting outside the hall, and there were two rows of servants and The guard, he really looked like a rich family, and he was not used to it.

Seeing her coming, Jiang Li and her grandfather had big smiles on their faces. Thanks to her grandmother's explanation, they could not bear to go out. When they were five steps away, they saluted under the leadership of their grandmother: "Wanfu Jinan, Zhonggong".

Although their branch is only a small sect of the Bu family, it is also a heir of scholarly etiquette. I am afraid that they will forget the previous etiquette. Grandma has taught them a lot in the past month. Just now, she specially instructed the two parties, for fear that they would lose their own family. and Qian Renxue's face.

Not coming back with great fanfare, Bu Qianxue took a step sideways, bowed instead of accepting the salute and said, "Greetings to grandma, grandpa, and mother, you are all my elders, if it is not a formal occasion, there is no need to perform these vain salutes, if you do, I will Can't accept gifts" Even if she becomes a queen, the elders are still her elders.

"I just said that my granddaughter might not like this, so you have to bring that set up." The bowing grandfather stood up and said with a smile, and stepped forward to support Qianxue, preventing her from saluting again.With him taking the lead, Jiang Li and Bu Lang immediately rebelled against the camp.

In the end, only grandma was left alone, and she couldn't hold on for a few seconds. She straightened up and said unhappy, "That one? Don't sarcasm, it's the law of the country. What face is there to call yourself a scholarly family" and entered the hall angrily after speaking.

"Don't pay attention to her, she's just like that." Grandpa said disapprovingly, "It's not that we don't obey the laws of the country, but adapt to the situation. If it is a formal occasion, we will never lose face. In the end, no matter how noble you are in the future, it will be me Granddaughter, your mother's daughter, there's nothing you can do about it in formal occasions, but why be so serious in private, it's not good to have a good time with Lele." Grandpa said while pulling Bu Qianxue into the room.

Jiang Li and Bu Lang also followed into the hall, some servants followed in order and stood on both sides, some stayed outside, Ban Yue and Lu Yan followed closely behind Bu Qianxue.

This time, the grandmother didn't sit directly on the main seat, and the grandfather signaled Bu Qianxue to go and sit down. Bu Qianxue started.

After everyone sat down, the servants immediately brought tea, pastries and persimmons. Since their home was ransacked, they hadn't been treated like this for many years. Bu Qianxue took a sip of the teacup, and the tea was several grades better than before.

If she remembers correctly, the money left in the family after the wedding should only be enough to support daily life for two months, and the door plaques were changed, and guards were recruited, and not just one or two, pastries, tea and fruits should also be kept. Yes, otherwise it wouldn't be so fast.

Could it be that the salary was paid together with the knighthood, that's impossible!If she remembers correctly, the salary of the title is still paid once a year, and it is only issued at the end of the year, and there are still more than two months before the end of the year.

Could it be that Da Zong supported it?It's also impossible. Although Da Zong's life is better than theirs, it's not much better. Even if he supports it, it's just a meaning. Otherwise, when she went to borrow money back then, she wouldn't just lend her ten taels like sending beggars.

As for receiving gifts, it was just an engagement, not a marriage, and there was no banquet at all, and the gifts from the ministers were all sent directly to the palace. Even if someone else gave it, with my grandmother's character, I am afraid she would not accept it without her explanation.

"When did the family become so rich? Could it be that my cousin has a new way of making a living?" Bu Qianxue thought about it, but she could only think of Bu Lang. Anyway, in terms of earning money, her mother is not the kind to count on.

Bu Lang said embarrassingly: "My cousin is flattering you. If you really have a way to make a living, I'm afraid you won't be able to see Zhonggong this time." It means that you have seen someone who can make money and will stay at home at this point?

Although Burang didn't make any money for more than a month, he would go out every now and then in the name of finding a living.

Grandpa suddenly said with a sullen face: "Before the palace came to pass on your mother and said that you were sick, which scared me and your grandmother into a state of shock for a whole day. Seeing that you are well now, this heart has completely fallen to the ground." Although the grandmother didn't speak, she nodded her head in affirmation. They had just experienced the pain of bereavement, and they were really too afraid of sending a white-haired person to a black-haired person again.

I was in a hurry that day, and I was still hiding it. If my grandfather hadn't taken the opportunity to ask Jiang Li, I wouldn't have known what was going on. Knowing it, it scared the two of them so much that they couldn't sleep all night. Praying in his heart, Bu Lang even went to the ancestral hall to kneel all night. Grandpa still feels lingering fear when he talks about it now.

Bu Qianxue didn't think about the wind and cold, but she made her grandmother and grandfather so worried and worried. She felt guilty and said, "It's my grandson's fault, I made my grandmother and grandfather worry."

All the things in the car have already been moved here, the food is directly taken out and arranged, the original ones are removed, the fabrics are chosen first by grandma and grandpa, and the jewelry has already been divided, so she doesn't have to worry about it .

Grandpa's jewelry is some finger rings, some are made of jade, some are made of gold and silver, and one is inlaid with rubies. In addition, there are some high-quality folding fans, jade pendants, and forbidden steps.

Everyone has jade pendants and forbidden steps, but the colors, styles and decorations are different. Like grandmothers, they tend to favor the elderly. Jiang Li’s is something that matches her identity. Even Bu Lang’s is also for young people nowadays. Some styles I like.

Bu Qianxue had to admit that Shi Min, who was busy with military and national affairs every day, was more thoughtful than she thought about some small things. It seemed that she had to go to the East or West Market soon. Fortunately, she brought some money.

Grandpa thought that Bu Qianxue picked them for them specially, but after asking, he found out that it was a gift from His Majesty. He was a little surprised, but it didn't stop him from liking it very much. His impression of His Majesty was already good, and this would be even better. He immediately picked one up Trying on the inconspicuous jade wrench on his thumb, he said happily: "Granddaughter has really good eyesight. Your Majesty is not only a good-looking talent, but also looks like you, and is also a considerate person."

"Father is right. What I was most worried about before was that Qianxue would not live well in the palace. Now it seems that I am overthinking." Jiang Li quickly echoed. As a mother, she felt that she didn't even do it. this step.

Bu Lang smiled and said: "My cousin and Your Majesty are talented and beautiful, and they are in love with each other. They are really a natural couple. In the future, they will definitely sing in harmony and work together to grow old together."

"Are you envious? If you are envious, go find one yourself." Grandpa joked, but in fact, he really hoped that Bu Lang could find a companion as soon as possible, so that he would have nothing to worry about.

Bu Qianxue agreed: "Grandpa is right, if my cousin is envious, why not find one yourself, maybe I will be envious of her cousin by then."

Grandpa, Jiang Li, Bu Lang, and Bu Qianxue were talking and laughing. The only grandmother who looked like an outsider had always kept a calm face, and it took a long time before she spoke. Let Bu Qianxue remember to thank His Majesty for them, although it seemed a bit abrupt, But it does not affect the joy of the family.

While talking and talking about money, Bu Qianxue simply raised her mouth again. If she didn't ask clearly, she would not give up. Just follow along, and immediately replied: "Don't worry, we didn't take other people's money indiscriminately, and we didn't do things that people can't see. The money was rewarded by His Majesty on the same day, and even the guards were sent by His Majesty." The person who came will fix it......".

In fact, the matter of the bodyguard really had nothing to do with Shi Min, and that person was not directly sent by her, but a subordinate official of the Hou Mansion selected by the Ministry of Officials according to the procedure, but there is nothing wrong with saying that she sent him.

On the day Jiang Li was ennobled, Shi Min not only rewarded the Marquis with two crowns of three small and one large pearls, a suit of embroidered four-tailed plume and feather clothes, a jade belt and a bronze seal of the Marquis, but also rewarded 1000 taels of silver as usual. solved their family's dire economic situation.

Early the next morning, the Ministry of Officials brought the selected Chief Ninth-Rank Bodyguard and Deputy Ninth-Rank Deputy Chief Bodyguard to the Hou Mansion to meet Jiang Li.

The title of Huachao is not given lightly, so the gold content is relatively high. Even if you are a beggar, as long as you are knighted, you can be promoted to the noble class in an instant, and your status and wealth will be at your fingertips.

That's what I said, but in fact it is basically impossible to change from a beggar to a nobleman, unless you join the army and earn invincible military exploits, or become a queen, or save the country from danger.As for the part of the royal family living among the people, the probability is extremely low. Even if there are, they are [-]% illegitimate children, and the royal family will never admit it.

There are unofficial records in this regard in the previous dynasty. There was an emperor who didn't like the queen chosen by his parents very much, and he couldn't abandon it. He often went out for private visits in micro-services. But the clan and ministers did not admit it at all. The emperor did not realize the child and his own surname until his death, and finally the throne fell into the hands of others.

Although the credibility of the unofficial history is not great, it is a fact that the emperor has no children to inherit, and it is also a fact that the emperor and queen are at odds. The official history also records that he loves private visits in a micro-service. As for whether he really had an illegitimate child, only the people at the time knew.

Therefore, being a knight is definitely a matter of supreme glory in the Hua Dynasty. It not only honors oneself, but also protects future generations.Killing Jiang Li, she didn't even think that she would have a noble one day, it was really the first time ever, half a month later, she was still a little confused, but fortunately, her grandmother used to be in the officialdom, she knew a thing or two, so she didn't make a fuss Make a joke.

After completing the handover procedures with the Ministry of Officials, the chief guard and the deputy chief guard will be officials of the Hou Mansion from now on. Unless they make a big mistake and are complained about or promoted, they will spend their entire lives guarding the security of the Hou Mansion.

The two chief guards learned that there were only 16 masters and servants in the Bu family, and the guards were all non-professionals. Advise to expand the recruitment of guards.

Because according to His Majesty's new policy, the Marquis can hire a total of 150 guards and servants, and enjoy the sub-first-rank treatment. Even if they don't have 150 people, at least they have to raise [-] to [-] professional guards to protect the safety of the Marquis Mansion. Officers are worthless.

As a result, Jiang Li did not agree immediately, but hurriedly went to discuss with the two elders first. Although the money was in her hands, she still had to listen to the opinions of the two elders for major matters, not to mention that she was really a little undecided .

Both grandma and grandpa felt that there were too many forty or fifty people, and the guards had to work hard and eat too much. They felt that the cost was too high, so they finally ordered 30 people, hired all the guards, and did not ask for any more servants, because they felt that There are enough people in the family now.

Under the authorization of Jiang Li, Bu Lang and the head of the guard took full charge of the recruitment of the guards of the Buhou Mansion, and it was completed in less than five days. After half a month of unified training and testing, the guards were given costumes respectively. Become the guard of Buhou Mansion.

Guards refer to the people who protect the safety of nobles and guard nobles. They are different from the army and the guards raised by the gentry. They can wear whatever they want, because they have uniform uniforms stipulated by the court and are highly recognizable. , and once employed, you have to work until you can no longer work before you can retire. The employer has full power to pay for the support, and the subordinate officials will lead the family to protect the house.

After all, the subordinate officials are also ninth-rank sesame officials, and they must have some people under them, but in general, they still have to listen to the boss, whoever pays is the boss.

The new door plaque that Bu Qianxue and the others saw just now was replaced not long ago. Except for the new door plaque and the newly added guards, there is no other change in the Bu Mansion. Maintenance or something, I feel that only in this way can I be worthy of my identity.

Bu Qianxue is very satisfied with this point, the tree attracts the wind, she and Shi Min are only engaged now, even if they are married, they can't be that kind of arrogant and domineering relatives of the emperor, she will never allow Shi Min to be hindered by her family, and she can't do it herself .

She thought that her family felt that being modest and low-key was the long-term solution just like her. In fact, it had nothing to do with being modest and low-key. .30 people, and I heard that the salary of the title is only issued once a year, or at the end of the year, so dare to have any other ideas!

Jiang Li felt that if it wasn't for the money rewarded by His Majesty, they wouldn't be able to hire thirty guards, so they would dare to spend money recklessly, wishing they could hold all the money firmly in their hands.

Bu Qianxue glanced left and right, and asked, "Where's the chief guard?" He didn't see anyone dressed as a military general along the way, and now he glanced again, but he didn't see them either.

After talking about being too thirsty for a long time, Jiang Li drank two cups of tea in one go before feeling better, "The head of the guard was sent out by us to handle errands, and the deputy head of the guard has an urgent matter at home and asked for leave."

"Work?" Bu Qianxue looked puzzled, she couldn't think of anything at home that the head guard would personally handle.

Grandpa suddenly sarcastically said: "It's not that Da Zong saw that our family was conferred a title, so he insisted on giving us a child, and he sent some children here specially, saying that we can choose them, and in the pretense of giving them to us as heirs. Being on your mother's title, even though it's just a condescension, but at least it can be blessed for two generations, so I'm jealous. They are all half-grown children, we don't want to worry about that anymore, so we let the chief guard send them all back ". ?
