Chapter 1857 Stop and fight 15
"I accept the order!" Marquis Zhongyong quickly stood up from his chair and knelt down to accept the order.
Mu Hanqing also stood up and knelt down. When he saw that Emperor Dechang had forgotten something important, he quickly shouted: "Guan family, what should I do about this marriage?"
By the way, marriage... Emperor Dechang then remembered that Mu Hanqing was going to marry the female bandit leader.
Think about the 10,000 taels of gold and 50,000 to 60,000 taels of silver that were robbed this year. No, no, it was the tax money from working as an escort. Not to mention a prince, even if the children in the clan marry this Jin Zun!
But Mu Hanqing was unwilling and couldn't refuse for a while, so he took roundabout measures.
Emperor Dechang Zhengyan said: "This matter needs to be considered in the long term. Mu Aiqing, when you escorted the tax coins to Beijing, what did you call the leader of Black Tiger Village?"
"Zhao Fuling!" Marquis Zhongyong responded quickly.
"Well, Zhao Fuling will come to the capital together. All women serving as officials are female officials in the palace. As the leader of the Black Tiger Army, she really needs to discuss it. Let me take a look first!" Emperor Dechang glanced at the ministers beside him. eunuch.
The eunuch in charge still had some sharp eyesight, and immediately shouted: "If you have anything to do, please report, if there is nothing, you can leave!" This is the same as when the maids and slaves around you shout "see off guests" after serving tea.
Mu Hanqing wanted to say something else, but seeing that His Majesty was happy and did not want to make you uncomfortable, he had no choice but to leave with Marquis Zhongyong.
Watching Marquis Zhongyong walking with his hands behind his back, palace people and officials bowed to him from time to time. Mu Hanqing was furious.
But think about it, His Majesty hasn't decreed the marriage yet, but he just wants to take a look first to prove that there is still a chance of improvement. Thinking about the way Zhao Fuling raised her whip and screamed for robbery, she didn't know what she would look like when she saw His Majesty. It must be that the mud cannot hold up the wall. When the time comes, His Majesty will say that he is not worthy of him, so he will just seal it and send it away.
Thinking of this, I feel much better.
On the other side, Xining is undergoing training. The military advisor expected that she would go to Beijing soon, so he hired some old men who knew the rules of the palace to teach her.
This dynasty was different from other dynasties. The emperor was called "Guan Jia", but in the court he had to be called "Your Majesty"; the daughter of an official was called "Ms." instead of "Ms."; the son of an official was called "Ya Nei"; only the son of a duke could be called "Yai Nei". "Master".
Then it was time to make tea. At this time, tea cakes were still the main food, and loose tea was also available, but it was only consumed by local people, who drank it as they brewed.
You need to take off a piece of tea cake, crush it into powder, and use it by "adding soup", "beating and whisking" and finally "putting it on the shelf". "Frusting" is to use a tea spoon to whisk the tea soup while pouring water, so that stable and long-lasting foam appears in the tea soup. The foam should be white and uniform, and the longer it lasts, the better. If you want to be more colorful, you can also add words and patterns on the foam.
What troubled the military advisor was that the village leader couldn't sit still. After studying for a short time, he said he was tired and refused to study any more. He just lay down and read.
Let’s talk about it again, she is more reasonable than anyone else. Marquis Zhongyong said that you don’t need to learn so much to be a mistress, you can just buy a few more maids to serve her. Besides, if she were to learn these things now, even if she was barefoot, she wouldn't be able to keep up with those ladies from aristocratic families. She might as well not learn anything at all.
The military advisor smiled bitterly: "That will be disliked by others."
"You dare to dislike my village leader!" Liu Lu glared: "I will beat her."
"Never call me the village leader again." Aunt Li, who was teaching the rules next to me, quickly corrected me: "You must call me Niangzi!"
"Madam~" Liu Lu reluctantly changed her words, and then became extremely impatient: "Really, what do you call me Madam? It's not domineering at all. It's better to call me the village leader!"
The village leader actually nodded: "Then just call me the village leader and don't change it! Come on, call me again."
Liu Lu, a fool, shouted out loudly: "The village leader!"
"Scream again." The village leader clapped his hands and laughed.
"Fortress leader!" "Hahaha, call me again!" "Fortress leader!"...
Seeing this excitement, the military advisor felt his head hurt even more. He would definitely get into trouble if he went to the capital this time.
I hope that someone in the palace can tolerate it for the sake of Black Tiger Village being able to give so many tax coins every year. And...
As soon as the village leader learned the rules, he said he was tired and just lay down and read. This is different from before. I didn't go out to play wildly, and I didn't try my best to cause trouble.
The military advisor could only think that the leader of the village had knocked his head while riding a horse last time and had not yet recovered. As long as you can stay alive, and you haven't caused any trouble, you don't have to learn the rules.
Taohong was unlucky, the village leader didn't learn, and Liu Lu didn't seem to be able to learn either, so she was the only one who learned everything. Taohong is very smart, and she has learned a little before. Although she cannot be the best, she has learned about it and can barely get on the stage.
When Marquis Zhongyong brought the letter of appointment from the Ministry of War, the gold and silver sent to the capital were ready.
All the people in Black Tiger Village knelt down to take over the letter of appointment. When the leader of the village accepted the letter of appointment, Black Tiger Village was transformed into the Black Tiger Army. A branch of the Zhongyong Hou Army began to eat the imperial food.
After receiving the letter of appointment, Marquis Zhongyong passed on His Majesty's oral instructions. Xining could only kneel down with everyone again, and His Majesty announced that Zhao Fuling would enter the capital to face the saint.
Xining once again received the order to thank him and stood up.
Marquis Zhongyong saw that she was still dressed in Jianghu and couldn't help frowning: "It's a bit indecent to meet His Majesty like this."
The military advisor quickly responded: "I have been prepared for a long time. I will dress up properly when I see His Majesty."
Marquis Zhongyong nodded with peace of mind.
It was indeed ready. In addition to more than a dozen cars of gold and silver silk, there were also more than a dozen cars of luggage. The number of ox carts loaded with luggage by the village owner has almost caught up with the carts loaded with tax coins.
From clothes and jewelry, to daily necessities, and even toilets, everything was loaded into trucks and transported to the capital.
Xining even doubted whether her dowry was shipped directly.
The military advisor and the four leaders temporarily stayed in Black Tiger Village, saying that after arranging everything, they rushed to the capital for a wedding banquet. After all, they are now the Black Tiger Army, which belongs to the regular army and eats royal food. You cannot leave the garrison without a transfer order.
Therefore, more than twenty maidservants and servants were asked to accompany him. When it's time, go to Yapo's place to buy some slaves.
Along the way, Marquis Zhongyong followed the tax cart on horseback, but there was not much interaction. Thinking about it, it would be difficult to get in touch with the father-in-law and his daughter-in-law in the future.
After walking on the road for more than ten days, we finally arrived in the capital. Then they split into two groups, and Marquis Zhongyong sent the tax coins to the household department. If it is missing during the period, it is a serious crime. Only when it is handed in will the task be considered completed, then you can sit back and relax.
And Xining took her people to the newly bought house.
This house is very big, with five people coming in and out. This is not the case for a large family.
Xining walked around the house for a while and felt that it was a bit big. You really need to buy some slaves, otherwise the house will be too empty. Even if the housing prices at this time are not as outrageous as in modern society, this is the capital, and such a house costs at least two to thirty thousand taels of silver.
Did Black Tiger Village make so much money through robbery? !
Then why do you have to clear your name and just continue to be a bandit? Now that you have become a regular army, you have to hand over the money you robbed to the national treasury. Why do you feel so bad!
