Chapter 112: Qingyang Marquis Mansion (1)

Faced with the request of the County Lord Xuerou, Wei Fufeng nodded for a moment. The fourteenth lady hurriedly ordered the maid to pick up the four treasures of the study. After taking them, the County Lord Xuerou grinds them with her own jade hand.

Wei Fufeng was a little moved when he saw it. He picked up a pen and wrote a handwritten order, ordering the Magistrate Ba County to find a house for the Magistrate Xuerou to protect the Magistrate Xuerou's normal residence and business, and take out the Fufeng Army seal and stamp it on it.

"Thank you for your care, Marquis." County Lord Xuerou thanked respectfully.

"You are polite to the county lord." Wei Fufeng smiled and replied. For him, this was just a small matter, and it had nothing to do with military and political affairs, which was equivalent to resettling a noble refugee.

County Lord Xuerou left with Shisi Niang with her handwritten book, returned to the hall, said a few words to Mrs. Li Ji, and left with Jiu Niang.

In the hall, Mrs. Li Ji didn't care after asking the Fourteenth Lady about it and sent the Fourteenth Lady to continue to accompany Wei Fufeng.

Sisi Niang happily took the osmanthus cake and returned to Wei Fufeng to eat together. Looking at Sisi Niang's greedy and pretty appearance, Wei Fufeng felt very comfortable.

Wei Fufeng and Shisi Niang had eaten osmanthus cake and said goodbye that he didn't want to stay for a long time.

When he said goodbye, Li Ji came to see him and sent him to the outside of the mansion.

After visiting Li Yi's mansion, halfway through the work of coming to Chang'an, Wei Fufeng went back to Anyifang to rest. The next morning, he went with Mingyu to Qingyang Marquis' Mansion with Mingyu.

Wei Fufeng had never been to the Qingyang Marquis Mansion. When he was a child, he yearned to go to the Qingyang Marquis Mansion to see it.

Now he has no interest and has to go there just to respect the aunt. In fact, before coming to Chang'an, his father Wei Xuan communicated with him, hoping that he can respect the aunt.

Even if his father doesn't say it, Wei Fufeng will not disrespect the aunt. He is not Wang Jian, who is a rogue background. He can turn against him without hesitation, and he cherishes his family affection and reputation in his heart.

The family education formed since childhood has influenced Wei Fufeng's principles of being a human being, and he will never be willing to bear the criticism of unfilial piety.

In fact, the aunt has always been very nice to him and her biological mother, and has basically never treated him unfairly. She is willing to raise him to study and meet some of his requirements.

Coupled with the glorious ethics and education of the Wei family, in Wei Fufeng's heart, the aunt's status is obviously one point higher than that of her mother.

Qingyang Hou Mansion is located in Fenglefang, located on the west side of Zhuque Street, two fangs away from Tai Chi Palace.

The Qingyang Hou Mansion is a noble military mansion and has a certain influence on the Shence Army in Chang'an City.

During the reign of Emperor Xizong of the Tang Dynasty, the Shence Army was basically destroyed by the Huang Chao disaster, and the military foundation of the Qingyang Marquis' Mansion was severely damaged.

Before the Huang Chao disaster, the Qingyang Marquis' Mansion was in the circle of nobles in Chang'an, and was a middle-level force and had little impact on the court's official power.

However, the noble class belongs to the spider-web-like linking forces. Through the marriage of a good match, it forms a force that affects the whole body and indirectly affects the situation in the court.

After the Huang Chao disaster, the Chang'an nobles suffered a severe blow, and the survivors were like a piece of loose sand.

The strength of the vassal state power and the eunuchs' power made the Chang'an nobles increasingly weak, but those who seek to protect themselves were unwilling to participate in the power struggle.

Accompanied by ten guards, entering Fenglefang and arriving at the gate of the Hou Mansion of Qingyang.

Wei Fufeng got out of the car first and saw four bright soldiers standing outside the tall mansion gate. The plaque of the Qingyang Marquis Mansion was hung on the flying eaves and gate tower. The whole mansion gate gave people a majestic and atmospheric feeling.

Wei Fufeng secretly praised him after seeing this. He was worthy of being an old nobleman. Even if he was not as good as before, he had a good foundation. He heard from the aunt that the Qingyang Marquis Mansion was in a difficult situation, so he had this emotional state.

Turning around to help Mingyu down, Mingyu turned around and tied her back

He helped the aunt get out of the car.

At this time, a soldier on the stone steps walked down and said respectfully: "Mrs. Seventh aunt is back. I'll go and report it now."

The aunt nodded lightly, and the soldier turned around and strode quickly. The aunt was not waiting outside. She walked towards the mansion under Mingyu's support and climbed up the steps.

Wei Fufeng followed behind him, with two maids behind him, and ten guards also followed him into the mansion, and the soldiers guarding the gate did not stop him.

Walking into the mansion gate, walking along the hallway, and walking outside the main hall with flying eaves like a hall. Suddenly, many men and women walked out of the door on the left, and the aunt immediately turned around to greet her.

"Lan Ying has met all the sisters-in-law." The aunt saluted respectfully.

"It's good that you'll come back. My mother-in-law is still thinking about you recently." A graceful lady in the lead said with a smile.

The aunt nodded and turned around and introduced: "Fufeng, this is the wife of the Hou Mansion of Qingyang."

Before leaving, Wei Fufeng respectfully said, "My younger generation, Wei Fufeng, pays homage to his wife, and his wife is happy and healthy."

"Well, heroic spirit is not without elegance, he is a good man." Mrs. Qingyang Hou praised with a smile.

Wei Fufeng respectfully responded, and the wife of the Marquis of Qingyang turned her head and ordered: "Lai Fu, take Mr. Fufeng to rest."

A middle-aged man in a round collar robe responded respectfully and said politely before leaving: "Young Master, please come with the younger one."

Wei Fufeng silently gave up the gift and turned around and walked away. The aunt turned her head and told her to ask. Ming Yu also left the gift, while the aunt went to the back house with her family.

After walking through the etiquette gate, the aunt whispered to Mrs. Qingyang: "Please give me another order. Don't neglect Fufeng, so that the male protagonist in the mansion can treat guests."

After hearing this, Mrs. Qingyang was surprised and said in surprise: "Why do sister attach so much importance to Fufeng?"

The aunt was worried about the big affairs of her husband's family and did not dare to tell her truth. She explained: "Fufeng leads military power in Jinzhou and is highly valued by the elders. The Qingyang Hou Mansion is a military master. She can get along well with Fufeng and benefit each other."

Mrs. Qingyang was so gentle that she turned her head and ordered her, and a maid left to inform the general manager Lai Fu.

The family continued to walk. While walking, the wife of the Marquis of Qingyang asked, "I heard that Jinzhou is the leader of the Jincheng Army. Fufeng is young and can actually be reused."

"Although Fufeng is young, he has great military talent. In the past, Yang Shouliang's army besieged Jinzhou, and Fufeng was responsible for defending the city. Therefore, Fufeng held military power in Jinzhou, and the Jincheng army envoy was responsible for guarding Junzhou. Their nephew worked together to control the military power of the Wei family in Jinzhou." The aunt explained in a flexible manner why Wei Fufeng valued him.

Mrs. Qingyang Hou nodded and whispered: "No wonder my sister prophets learned about marriage."

The aunt whispered: "Fufeng is not my biological child, and she has never brought him to the Qingyang Marquis Mansion before, so she wanted to marry him into the Qingyang Marquis Mansion."

Mrs. Hou of Qingyang said: "My sister-in-law can understand my sister's painstaking efforts. She is just a daughter of the right age in the mansion and is not willing to be a concubine. Fufeng is born in a nanny after all."

The aunt was stunned and said, "Sister-in-law, although Fufeng is a concubine, he has actually entered the official career. The illegitimate daughter of the Qingyang Marquis's Mansion is not wronged to be a concubine with him. I will still have my care after marrying him."

Mrs. Qingyang Hou hesitated for a moment and whispered: "Sister, we are talking in the room."

The aunt nodded and moved to the nearby wing with Mrs. Qingyang Hou, while the others were waiting outside.

After entering the house, the wife of the Marquis of Qingyang said in a straight face: "Sister, it's not that my sister-in-law despises you and Fufeng, but the Marquis, who is unwilling to have further connections with the Wei family in Jinzhou."

"Why?" the aunt said inadvertently.

"It's mainly because of the concern of the Fengxiang Jiedushi Li Maozhen, the sister knows that most of the land in the Qingyang Hou Mansion is

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Under Li Maozhen's rule, he was exploited by Li Maozhen in recent years. If he showed closeness to the Wei family in Jinzhou, he would be afraid that he would give Li Maozhen an excuse to make trouble and confiscate the land of the Qingyang Marquis Mansion." The wife of the Qingyang Marquis explained.

The aunt frowned slightly after hearing this, and said, "Sister-in-law, it will only take a concubine to marry you, which will cause serious consequences. If Li Maozhen is determined to make trouble, why do you need any excuses?"

The wife of the Marquis of Qingyang smiled bitterly and said, "Please forgive me, my sister. The Marquis of Qingyang is not as good as before. I am most afraid of causing trouble, so I have to be more cautious."

The aunt felt unhappy when she heard this, and even felt disappointed. She came excitedly to relieve her parents' worries, intending to let her family have a career as an outsider.

As a result, my mother's family was unwilling to get close to Wei, the Jinzhou family, and her attitude put her in a state of embarrassment as an ominous person.

"Since my brother is worried that it is inappropriate to get close to Wei family in Jinzhou, my younger sister will not cause trouble for my brother in the future." The aunt said coldly.

"Sister, don't misunderstand me. The marquis is responsible for the family business of his ancestors and has to act cautiously." Mrs. Qingyang marquis explained.

The aunt nodded and said gently: "My sister understands the difficulties of her brother, so it's better not to talk about marriage."

Mrs. Qingyang Hou nodded, left the wing room with the aunt, continued to go deeper into the back house, and went to see the old lady.

......

Wei Fufeng was taken to an ear room. After entering the room, Lai Fu respectfully said he was leaving. He met the maid who passed the message as soon as he went out.

Lai Fu did not dare to neglect his clothes. While instructing his servants to send good refreshments, he went to invite Master Six.

The sixth master was named Chu Yanhe. He was forty-one years old. He was a illegitimate brother of the Marquis of Qingyang. He was an official of the ninth rank and had worked as a director of the Imperial College.

The Huang Chao disaster ended and the Imperial College failed to recover. In fact, it was in name only. The record was the lowest-level official.

Lai Fu received the instructions of his wife and, according to Wei Fufeng's origin, invited the sixth master who was both a concubine and an official, who was consciously suitable for the guests of Wei Fufeng.

Lai Fu's dare not neglect, mainly because he was unwilling to offend Wei Fufeng's aunt.

Chu Yanhe was wearing a half-old round necktie, wearing a matte head, with a good appearance and a three-inch beard. He didn't feel wronged when he was invited to accompany the younger generation.

Chu Yanhe was named Sixth Master. In fact, his status in the Marquis' Mansion was very low, and he was not as good as Wei Fufeng's father's down-and-out period. Chu Yanhe's wife was born into a civilian family.

When Chu Yanhe arrived, Wei Fufeng respectfully said that his uncle was greeted. Chu Yanhe had no elders' airs, and he smiled and talked to Wei Fufeng, sat down together, and chatted with tea.

During the chat, Chu Yanhe was very concerned about the situation in Jinzhou, and Wei Fufeng gave a brief answer.

As he spoke, Chu Yanhe suddenly asked, "Fufeng, can you place a ministry for your uncle? The six ministers of the county government can do it."

Wei Fufeng was slightly stunned and said, "The place is not peaceful, and my uncle is also wronged to serve as the Six Cavaliers."

Chu Yanhe smiled bitterly and said, "My uncle's life in the Marquis' Mansion is not easy. He can't starve to death, but it's really hard to endure the idleness of his spare time."

Wei Fufeng nodded. He came here to obey the aunt's wishes and get close to the Qingyang Marquis' Mansion. He was mentally prepared and was willing to accept the request of his uncle's family for an official.

"My uncle wants to go to Jinzhou, Fangzhou and Junzhou to serve, and his nephew can only seek jobs for his uncle. If his uncle is willing to go to Lizhou to become an official, he can serve as a county magistrate." Wei Fufeng replied.

"Lizhou? Where is it located?" Chu Yanhe asked inexplicably.

"Located on the south bank of the middle reaches of the river, south of Jingzhou, north of Langzhou, and west of Dongting Lake." Wei Fufeng replied.

"Oh, the Lizhou you mentioned is under the rule of Wuzhen's army." Chu Yanhe knew after he mentioned it.
