I am an ancestor in an enemy country

A piece of jade pendant was exchanged for 50 taels of silver at the pawnshop. Song Shiwen felt that it should not be worth that little silver. Even if he didn't know the quality of the jade very well, he could tell from the look in the pawn shop clerk's eyes that the jade pendant was worth a lot.If there is no way, he doesn't want to touch that jade pendant at all.

He had been carrying the jade pendant with him for ten years, and he was very reluctant to part with it. Song Shiwen secretly swore in his heart that he must redeem the jade pendant in the future. Before he left, he specifically asked the guy to keep it. The price came to redeem, and the guy promised him.

Today, I exchanged 50 taels of silver. After buying brocade quilts and clothes for the winter, I bought a lot of food. Su Fan insisted on buying a fresh fish, because Song Shiwen liked fish the most.

After buying these things, there is still half of the money left. Su Fan still wants to buy some charcoal fire. I heard that in winter in Kyoto, it is very cold and it snows. Snow.Su Fan was afraid that Song Shiwen wouldn't be able to stand the cold in the capital, but Song Shiwen felt that he wasn't that delicate, and their current situation simply didn't allow them to have such extravagant behaviors as burning charcoal.

After returning, Su Fan went directly to the kitchen to cook. He didn't let Song Shiwen go to the kitchen and drove him to the yard to let him rest. Somewhat unbearable, Song Shiwen lay down on the bamboo chair in the yard and basked in the sun with squinting eyes.

This bamboo chair was in tatters at first, but it was repaired after Su Fan knocked on it. Song Shiwen usually likes to lie on the chair and bask in the sun.

After an autumn rain in the morning, there is bright sunshine.

Autumn is high and fresh.

At this time, the sun was shining on his body warmly, without the irritating heat of summer, but very comfortable. Song Shiwen was a little chilly, so he liked it very much when the sun shone all over his body, making him blush. With a satisfied face, this kind of life is actually much better than in the other courtyard of Nanyue Kingdom, and it is also much more free.

Being forced to come to Liang Guo as a hostage doesn't seem like a bad thing, but I don't know when I can go back, one year, two years, or ten years. Nanyue and Liang countries didn't agree on this time limit, maybe they will die of old age in this lifetime It is also possible to be in Liang Guo.

Thinking of the current situation, Song Shiwen couldn't help but sigh.

The remaining 20 taels of silver can only be used as a temporary solution for him and Su Fan. If they really want to stay in the capital for a year or two or longer, then Song Shiwen has to think about the future. There is nothing left to pawn now.

When Song Shiwen was thinking about problems, he habitually rubbed the jade pendant on his chest. As long as he touched the jade pendant, he would feel at ease, but after touching it for a long time today, he didn't feel the familiar touch, so he suddenly remembered that the jade pendant had been taken by him. Pawned.

Song Shi asked embarrassingly to put down his hand, and decided to redeem the jade pendant as soon as possible.

The sound of Su Fan calling him to eat interrupted Song Shiwen's rush of thoughts, Su Fan moved swiftly, and the meal was ready in a short while, "My lord, it's time to eat."

Song Shiwen put away the disappointment just now and got up to eat.

There was a rare meat dish on today's dinner table, it was the fresh fish that Su Fan insisted on buying, Su Fan was very good at cooking, boiled fish fillets were Song Shiwen's favorite, and Nanyue Kingdom liked spicy food.

Su Fan naturally sat next to Song Shiwen to eat together, Song Shiwen was very happy, because Su Fan always refused to sit with him to eat, always said that Song Shiwen was the prince and he was just a slave.

In Su Fan's mind, his mother was a nun in another courtyard, so he was a slave, and Song Shiwen was his master.

It took Song Shiwen a long time to correct Su Fan's thoughts. In his heart, Su Fan was his family and his friend.

After eating, Song Shiwen put down the bowl and chopsticks and said what he had just thought about: "Su Fan, I thought about it, we can't go on like this, and I don't know how long we're going to stay here."

Song Shiwen mentioned this a few times, and every time he said this, he was urging Su Fan to leave the capital, and Su Fan expressed his attitude again, "My lord, you are going to drive me away again. I said, I will die." You won't let the son stay in the enemy country alone, you won't be able to drive me away."

While talking, Su Fan wanted to pretend to cry again, Song Shiwen hurriedly stopped him, "Su Fan, I didn't want to drive you away."

Only then did Su Fan calm down and listen to Song Shiwen.

Song Shi asked: "I mean we should think of a way to maintain the expenses of the courtyard. I don't think our days in the capital will be short. We have to make plans."

Su Fan also thought about this question before, "Your Majesty, tomorrow I will go to the street to see if there are any shops recruiting workers. I can also be a clerk."

Song Shiwen smiled, "No, I'm going to play to King Liang tomorrow, and I don't believe in the majestic Daliang Congress, which will allow the protons to fend for themselves in the capital."

If his method works, not only will the jade pendant be redeemed soon, but they will not have to worry about their future lives in the capital.

......

In the imperial study room, Xiao Chengyu looked at the pile of memorials in front of him with a sinking face, and threw them aside at a glance. They were all from the previous memorial requesting him to be a successor, saying that Liang Guo could not have no successor, even if he did not have a successor, he would still be a successor. It is time to accept a few concubines to continue the blood of Liang's royal family.

These ministers who presented the memorial kept saying that they were thinking of Daliang Kingdom, but what they thought in their hearts was to send their daughters to the palace to gain favor and consolidate their power in the previous dynasty.

But they didn't expect that Xiao Chengyu was not like his father, and he was not close to beauty. After Xiao Chengyu ascended the throne, he immediately dismissed the three thousand beauties in the harem.

Send them to the place where they should go, or return to their natal family, and give them a mansion if they don't have a natal family, enough for them to spend the rest of their lives.

In the harem, it was clean and deserted.

The ministers moved their minds and played persistently. They thought that King Liang is still young and does not understand these things/things. After a few years, the young King Liang will understand what it is like to have a beautiful woman by his side.

In the past, Xiao Chengyu turned a blind eye to these memorials, but ever since he saw the jade pendant, he felt restless, in a bad mood, very irritable, thinking of the person who didn't know where, and why the jade pendant appeared in the pawnshop, Cheng Lu had sent People went out to search for the whereabouts of the boy, but they still couldn't find it. Every time they thought about it, the gloom in their eyes became deeper and deeper.

Seeing these memorials again, I became angry, "Eunuch Hou."

An elderly father-in-law next to him immediately stepped forward, "What orders does Your Majesty have?"

Xiao Chengyu: "Since they care so much about my life-long affairs, I am very moved. I also want to care about these ministers, pass on my oral order, and marry the daughter of the Minister of the Ministry of Li to Mr. Liu of the Minister of Households."

Eunuch Hou immediately understood that Master Li, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and Master Liu, Minister of the Household Department, were the two most frequent people who took the lead in playing the king's enrichment of the harem. reached an agreement on this matter.

Li Dali, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, has always mentioned in the memorial that his daughter is educated, sensible, and gentle, so he will be given directly to Master Liu, Minister of the Ministry of Households. Mrs. Li's daughter is only twenty-eight years old, let the two of them fight each other.

Eunuch Hou knew that His Majesty wanted to give these two adults a warning.

Xiao Chengyu pointed to a pile of memorials in front of him, "Eunuch Hou, type these memorials back intact, and tell them there will be another time, and I will never let you down!"

Eunuch Hou received the decree. Although Eunuch Hou is old, he is very agile in doing things. Immediately, he went to Mr. Liu's house to announce the marriage. Mr. Li was stunned on the spot and accepted the imperial decree tremblingly. Before he recovered, Eunuch Hou pointed out, "Lord Li, your majesty's affairs are beyond our ability to speculate. Master Liu should take care of his own affairs and don't cause your majesty any more trouble."

What is there that Mr. Li doesn't understand? The king is annoyed that he and Mr. Liu have joined forces with other ministers to make frequent announcements about accepting concubines. She entered Master Liu's mansion as a concubine.

Master Li regretted endlessly, but it was too late.

Their king was really decisive in killing.

The other ministers who followed suit also heard about the marriage bestowed by the king, and dared not mention it.

No one dared to let their king stand up and accept concubines.

But it began to spread quietly that their king was afraid of women, and of course he only dared to talk about it in private. Who would dare to say it in front of Xiao Chengyu without fear of death?

On this day, Eunuch Hou held a memorial in his hand and looked embarrassed, Xiao Chengyu caught a glimpse, "Which minister brought up the matter of accepting concubines again?" Is there really someone who is not afraid of death?

Eunuch Hou quickly said no, no one dared to bring up the matter of what the king did last time, for fear that his daughter would be given to others casually by the king.

Xiao Chengyu looked at Eunuch Hou with a hint of doubt in his eyes. Eunuch Hou has been serving him since he was a child, and Eunuch Hou never left him when he was in the most difficult time. Eunuch Hou is the most trustworthy for him people.

Eunuch Hou held the memorial and said: "This is the request memorial of the proton of Nanyue Kingdom."

Xiao Chengyu was a little annoyed and said, "What's the matter with a proton?"

Eunuch Hou didn't read the content of the memorial, so of course he didn't know what it was, he just said that the little proton who came here finally found the way, please send it to His Majesty, please read the content of the memorial, the one who was found The little eunuch didn't dare to hide anything, so he immediately found Eunuch Hou. Xiao Chengyu pouted, "Put it here."

When Eunuch Hou put down the memorial, Xiao Chengyu didn't know what he thought of, and suddenly smiled, "This proton is quite interesting."

Eunuch Hou was taken aback for a moment, the king was finally a little happier these days.

The memorial was casually set aside.

A few days later, Xiao Chengyu took Cheng Lu out of the palace, and Eunuch Hou wanted to go with him, "Your Majesty, you should bring more guards with you when you go out of the palace, and Cheng Lu alone, this old slave is worried."

Cheng Lu gave Eunuch Hou a sneaky look, and snorted, "Eunuch Hou, are you looking down on master's martial arts, or are you looking down on the ability of my big inner guards, wouldn't I be distracted to protect your safety with you?"

Eunuch Hou slapped Cheng Lu, "This old slave is worried about His Majesty's safety."

Cheng Lu covered his beaten head, "Eunuch Hou, speak well, what kind of hands do you move? If it weren't for your old age, I would have fought back."

Eunuch Hou: "You kid still dare to fight back?"

Seeing the two fighting, Xiao Chengyu smiled, "Don't worry, Eunuch Hou, Cheng Lu will be fine with me."

Eunuch Hou had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​going out of the palace together, and repeatedly asked Cheng Lu to follow the king closely.

Of course he knew that the king was leaving the palace to find the boy, and he was also an insider about the jade pendant.

It seems that if the matter of the jade pendant is not clarified, the king will not let it go, but the young man has disappeared without a trace.

Xiao Chengyu went to the pawn shop first, and the shopkeeper was a hidden pile that Xiao Chengyu had planted earlier, and the shopkeeper was Xiao Chengyu's people, and the shopkeeper said that he still couldn't find the boy.

After leaving the pawn shop, Xiao Chengyu came to Lanyuan again without knowing it. After Xiao Chengyu saw where he was, he looked at Cheng Lu with dissatisfaction. Cheng Lu looked at the king innocently. The subordinates came here after you. It's not the fault of the subordinates.

At this time, the gate of Lanyuan suddenly opened, and a young man ran out from inside, shouting as he ran, "Su Fan, it's on fire!"
