No ads in the full text Chapter 40 Unexpected gift

The emperor usually wins off meritorious officials with good land and beautiful houses, or high officials and generous salaries. For example, Yang Guang gives Yang Yuanqing the sword of Emperor Emperor, which is extremely rare. During the Sui Dynasty, the rewards to meritorious officials were very generous. Whether it was Yang Jian or Yang Guang, they were extremely generous to meritorious officials. It can be seen from the wealthy families of the heroes of Pingnan, such as Yang Su, He Ruobi, Han Qinhu, and Yuwen Shu. This is also Yang Jian intends to establish a new aristocratic class to replace the old aristocrats of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. (Free download of full text e-books)

Yang Guang was even more generous. The high-ranking officials he promoted, whether Yu Shiji, Pei Ju, Xiao Cong or Yu Wen Shu, received countless rewards from his family, and each became a wealthy family and gave the Khan of the Turkic Qimin, which was even tens of millions of pieces of cloth.

As early as the 19th year of Kaihuang, Yang Guang, who was the King of Jin, saw Yang Su's attention to Yang Yuanqing, the grandson. He also knew that Yang Yuanqing would definitely become the pillar of the Hongnong Yang family. It was precisely because of his fear of the Yang family that Yang Guang tried every means to provoke the relationship between Yang Yuanqing and the Yang family after ascending the throne, and successfully took advantage of the Yang family's stubborn disease of valuing legitimate and over illegitimate, causing Yang Yuanqing to leave the Yang family and establish himself as a mansion.

Now that Yang Yuanqing is old and has a high title, in order to completely cut off the possibility of Yang Yuanqing returning to the Yang family, Yang Guang needs to support Yang Yuanqing as an important official who is on par with Yang Xuangan. Not only is his official position comparable to that of the Yang family, but his wealth and status are no less than that of the Yang family. In this way, even if Yang Yuanqing wants to reconcile with the Yang family, the Yang family will not be able to tolerate him.

Yang Guang had already thought of the reward to Yang Yuanqing, and then smiled and said, "Last time you went to the Western Regions to open up the territory for the Great Sui Dynasty, I decided to give you a great reward, but because General Yuwen Shu had not returned yet, I wanted to give you a reward together. Yuwen Shu defeated Tuyuhun, and I have restored his official position and given a great reward. This time it is your turn. I want to reward you another manor. Do you choose! In Guanzhong or in your ancestral land Yingzhou?"

Yang Yuanqing's heart moved and he quickly bowed and said, "This trip to Jiangnan is deeply impressed by the prosperity and prosperity of Jiangnan. I yearn for the culture of the Southern Dynasty and am willing to settle another home in Jiangnan."

Yang Guang smiled and said, "I also yearn for the culture of the Southern Dynasty. Since you want the wealth of Jiangnan, I will reward you with the largest farm in Jiangnan, which is the Qifeng Villa. You should know very well!"

Yang Yuanqing was overjoyed. Of course, he knew that the Qifeng Villa in the Zhang family was located in the south of Jiangning County, Danyang County, covering an area of ​​more than 300 hectares, including two beautiful green mountains, two small rivers running through the villa, and there were more than 150 hectares of fertile land alone, which was enough to support more than 2,000 orphans in Nanhua Palace.

He bowed and bowed, "Thank you for your reward, I am grateful."

"No need to thank you. The reward I gave you is only 30% of that of Yuwen Shu. Li Yuan could receive rewards without any achievements. What's more, you have made two great achievements for me. I will also give you the title of Qingzi Guanglu Dafu, rewarding 100,000 taels of silver and 50,000 pieces of colorful brocade. (Free download of full text e-book)"

Yang Guang actually named him the Qingzi Guanglu doctor again, which made Yang Yuanqing smile bitterly. He understood Yang Guang's intention. His father Yang Xuangan was the official doctor, but he surpassed Yang Xuangan, which was obviously disgusting Yang's mansion.

Yang Guang's face sank slightly, "What, do you think I have too little reward?"

"I dare not, I am a little flattered because the reward is too high."

Yang Guang narrowed his eyes and smiled, "I remember that the first day of the first lunar month was your 20th birthday. You are already in your prime, so I will give you another word!"

Yang Yuanqing had no choice but to choose the word "口" was usually his father's business, and Yang Guang actually did it for him. If he did not understand his profound meaning, he would not want to be in the officialdom.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Yang Guang pondered for a moment and said, "The word "using" should generally match the name, but this time I want to take it from the relationship between the monarch and the subject. You are my tiger general, but it seems a bit vulgar to choose "tiger general". So I will change "general" to "qing", and I will give you the word "huqing".

Yang Guang took a pen and wrote the word "Huqing" on the paper and handed it to Yang Yuanqing.

‘Thuqing’

Yang Yuanqing recited it silently twice. The word "tiger" actually has two meanings, one is a loyal tiger and the other is a poisonous tiger. Yang Guang obviously only thought of the former.

"Thank you for your words!"

.........

With Yang Guang's generous reward, Yang Yuanqing hurried back to his mansion. He was worried that the two girls in his family would meet. Today was their first time meeting. Will they part in a bad mood? Although Yang Yuanqing knew that it might not be too big, he was still a little worried and rushed back to the mansion.

The front of Yang Yuanqing's mansion is different from before. According to the Sui system, halberds can be listed for all third ranks or above. Although Yang Yuanqing had a first-rank title, if he wanted to be listed for halberds, he still needed to cooperate with his position. This time he was named General Zuo Xiaowei, and he officially qualified to be listed for halberds. There were ten long halberds in front of his mansion, which was a symbol of identity and status.

Yang Yuanqing saw a carriage stopping in front of the mansion and running to the mansion. He saw Sun Peijin, the Pei family, get off the carriage.

"Brother Changqing!"

Changqing is the name of Pei Jin. Yang Yuanqing had just obtained the name of "子". At this time, he was particularly interested in "子". Generally, he called Pei Jin the elder brother Pei, and at this time he changed his name to Changqing.

Pei Jin is now only a sixth-rank doctor. He has received internal news yesterday. After the New Year, he will be promoted to the fifth-rank minister of the ministry, and has the right to refute memorials from various departments. He has great power, which makes Pei Jin extremely happy. His grandfather also told him to be a minister for two years, and then find a way to make him go to the local government as a governor and become a governor for three or five years. After returning to Beijing, he will be promoted to minister. He has a family background, qualifications, and backstage. Within ten years, he will be promoted to minister.

Pei Jin was in extreme excitement yesterday and today, so that Yang Yuanqing called him twice, but he didn't hear it. Until he called him the third time, Pei Jin reacted and turned around and smiled, "I'm going to find you!"

Yang Yuanqing turned over and dismounted, patted the snowflakes on his body, pointed at the gate, "Let's talk about it when you enter the mansion!"

"No, it's just a simple thing. Grandfather heard that you are back and asked you to go to Pei Mansion with Minqiu tonight for dinner."

The news about Pei Ju is so fast, but Yang Yuanqing didn't want to be so active. When he came back on the first day of his debut, he went to Pei's house for dinner. Isn't this a warning to her?

Yang Yuanqing smiled and said, "Tomorrow! I'm going to Princess Leping's Mansion tonight, and I've agreed."

"This...but the Pei Mansion has already arranged it."

Yang Yuanqing felt a little unhappy. Is there any force to treat me to dinner? He smiled faintly again, "Please tell my grandfather, I'm sorry, the emperor wants to treat me to dinner tonight."

Pei Jin's face changed slightly and nodded, "I understand, I'll go back and tell my grandfather."

Pei Jin got on the carriage and bowed to him. The carriage started and gradually moved away. Yang Yuanqing looked at Pei Jin's carriage and walked away. He felt a little unhappy. He knew that Pei Ju was not really forcing him, but was just anxious to show that they were intimate, but even if it was a marriage, he didn't want to get too close to the Pei family.

......

Pei Minqiu cleaned up a separate courtyard for the mother and daughter, which was located next to the main courtyard of the back house. There were two entrances and seven or eight houses in the yard, and there was a small patio in the middle. There was also a small door leading directly to Yang Yuanqing's inner study. Several peach trees and plum trees were planted outside the yard. At this time, the inside and outside of the yard were covered with snow.

Pei Minqiu is an extremely smart woman. She knew that the first thing was to let the mother and daughter stay with peace of mind. If the mother and daughter leave with anger because of her, she would not be able to explain to Yang Yuanqing.

Pei Minqiu is very thoughtful. Although it is natural to let Chuchen live in the side yard, it will make Chuchen feel uncomfortable and feel inferior. So she specially ordered someone to open a small door and lead directly to Yang Yuanqing's study, so that Chuchen can feel the importance of Yang Yuanqing's heart and at the same time maintain the long-term order of the family.

As for household goods, it's even more difficult. Minqiu ordered people to prepare the best things. Even the beds were the same as hers, as well as four maids and a nai mother who specializes in taking care of children.

At this time, in the wing room of Chuchen's inner courtyard, bursts of laughter came from time to time. Bing'er had eaten and slept, becoming lively and naughty. She went to play with the shiny hair accessories on Pei Minqiu's head, and then she took out a string of sandalwood Buddhist beads from a secret lattice at the head of the bed and hung them around her neck to play with them.

She became the center of the whole room, everyone, including a few maids, was watching her. From time to time, everyone was laughing with laughter by her naughty and cuteness. It was the appearance of a child that made the originally deserted mansion full of vitality.

"Minqiu, how could there be a string of Buddhist beads on the head of the bed?" Chuchen asked strangely when he saw his daughter actually found a string of Buddhist beads.

Pei Minqiu smiled and said, "That was specially put in. This is the custom of the capital. After setting the bed, you should place a Buddhist instrument on the head of the bed to drive away evil spirits. There is a wooden fish in the head of my bed. I will put a string of rosary beads on the head of your bed. If you don't like it, I will change it to something else."

"It doesn't matter. The custom in our south is that it is only during the Chinese New Year that Buddha tools are placed on the head of the bed. However, today it is already twenty-fourth, and it is just right for the situation to place Buddha tools on the head of the bed."

Speaking of the Chinese New Year, Pei Minqiu suddenly remembered something and said with a smile: "You remind me that this time Yuanri happened to be Yuanqing's youngest child. He must worship his ancestors and take the words. I am very worried. Where to worship his ancestors? Who will take the words?"

As soon as Pei Minqiu finished speaking, Yang Yuanqing's laughter came from outside the house, "Don't worry about this, it's all solved."

Shocked Pei Minqiu, she quickly got up and left the house. She saw Yang Yuanqing shaking the snow on her body at the door of the outer room. The two maids stood beside her quickly explained, "It's the master who doesn't let us inform you."

Yang Yuanqing laughed and said, "I want to give everyone a surprise! Where is the little guy?"

Pei Minqiu smiled, "I'm naughty in the house!"

She felt a little disappointed. After all, it was almost two months since we broke up. When we met, our husband was not concerned about her, but the child. Although she was disappointed, she did not show her face. She lifted the leather curtain and smiled, "Bing'er, see who is here?"

Yang Yuanqing rushed into the house excitedly, and without even saying goodbye to Chaochen, he pinched his daughter's little face and said with a smile: "Little guy, do you miss your father?"

Chuchen found that Yang Yuanqing's hand was behind her back, as if something was hidden. She glanced at Pei Minqiu, and Pei Minqiu also shook her head. She didn't know what was hidden in her husband's hand, and her hand was covered by a cloak.

"Dad gives you something fun!"

Yang Yuanqing stretched out his hand, Pei Minqiu and Chuchen were shocked at the same time, and shouted repeatedly: "Take it away! Throw it away!"
