Chapter 091 Good things come hard
"This is the tragedy of being born into a noble family..."
On the night after the birthday banquet, Lou Zaixing and Song Boxian ate barbecue and brewed beer in the back garden of the Hou Mansion. They were so deeply in love that they actually said such a treasonous statement.
Song Boxian understood, and gently fiddled with the charcoal in the grill: "Are you talking about the marriage that grandma told you about during the day?" Song Boxian scratched his head: "I heard my aunt say before dinner that Princess Chen is not bad."
Lou Zaixing smiled bitterly and shook his head: "You don't know the difficulty of marrying a royal family member. My grandfather's father, the ancestor, married someone from Prince Yan's palace."
"Isn't it bad to marry the daughter of the royal family?" Song Boxian said and touched Lou Zaixing, who was drinking. "After all, they are related to each other. Have you been to the fifth server?"
Lou Zaixing took a bunch of roast beef from the maid's hand: "That's why we marry the daughter of their prince every three generations."
After Song Boxian heard this, he finally understood. It was no wonder that the Marquis of Huai'an was so favored. After all, he married the prince's daughter every three generations for the sake of his noble reputation.
"What does the princess look like?"
Lou Zaixing shook his head: "Dignified Princess, how could I have seen her before? I haven't even seen the photos. Old Biao, what do you think I should do if this Princess is a fool?
Moreover, after marrying the princess, I will no longer have the kind of private life I want. "
Song Boxian's mouth twitched. All the emphasis of this guy's relationship is on his private life: "Your private life is nothing more than eating, drinking, whoring and gambling. How can it be better? If someone takes care of you, it can save your uncle and aunt. Something happened."
"My great-great-grandfather, I heard that he is very miserable." Lou Zaixing asked the maid who was waiting next to him to go down, and then said: "My great-grandmother, I heard that she stopped thinking about that when she was forty years old. I am too Grandpa has been a widow for fifteen years..."
puff...
Song Boxian spit out a mouthful of beer and almost choked him to death: "Cough cough cough..."
Lou Zaixing quickly patted Song Boxian on the back: "It's just a drink and I'm not trying to steal it from you."
"Do you know how to talk..." Song Boxian pushed Lou Zaixing's hand away: "After doing this for a long time, you are still talking about this kind of thing. It is not illegal to go out to see a prostitute."
"Where dare you go?" Lou Zaixing said with a bitter face: "If I could go, my great-grandfather wouldn't have died so early..."
Song Boxian's mouth twitched again. He felt that this descendant of the Lou family was really rebellious, and he actually teased his ancestor mercilessly.
"Fortunately, I don't have that blessing..."
As the two people here were talking, the two sisters Song Borong and Song Bohui came over. Song Borong said, "The two eldest brothers really gave me a good time."
"My cousin is here, sit down quickly, the shit is still hot..."
Song Baixian looked at the two stunned old girls with a black line on his face and said with a smile: "This guy drank too much..."
.
Song Boxian's family stayed in Taizhou for three days, and then returned to Nanjing. Every time Song Ankang returned to Nanjing, he would have endless things to do. Basically, he would leave early and return late. On the second day after returning to Nanjing, he went to the Duke's Mansion. .
Song Jinhui has been very busy these days. After all, the master's family is back, and it takes a lot of time just to eat.
"Auntie, I borrowed the key to your house last time. How about you lend it to me for a few more days?"
Song Jinhui smiled softly and quickly wiped her hands and took out her pockets: "Young Master, what are you saying to be polite? My house was also given by the Duke's Palace. You can take it if you want."
Song Boxian chuckled: "The relationship is good, to be honest, I have a girlfriend, but I don't want to expose my identity. It's the Chinese New Year soon. I'm afraid that she will come to my house and expose me, so I borrowed it from my aunt's house. Don’t worry, I promise not to cause any trouble to you.”
Song Jinhui said angrily: "Young master, if you speak foreign languages, just take it. I will put the key on the wall in the concierge for your convenience, young master."
"Okay..."
Song Boxian originally had follow-up arrangements, but he didn't expect that he received a call from Wei Xinlan halfway after getting the key, and rushed to the base where his small flag unit was located without stopping.
As soon as I entered the office door, my dear, there were quite a lot of people inside. Song Boxian counted them carefully. Including Xu Jiaying sitting behind the desk, there were exactly 11 people.
Seeing that the entire Xiaoqi Department had arrived.
Song Boxian realized that he was the last to arrive, so he stood decisively at the back. When Xu Jiaying saw Song Boxian coming in, she cleared her throat and said, "At the end of every year, our Jinyiwei departments arrange work handovers on their own, which is equivalent to us being Hold a year-end summary meeting.”
At the annual meeting, Song Boxian breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, everyone was not called together for a business trip.
Next, Xu Jiaying started a long speech. Just when Song Boxian was about to fall asleep, Xu Jiaying got to the point.
"Our small flag department basically followed the script at the beginning of this year and did not engage in any major cases. However, at the end of the year, it did handle a counterintelligence case assigned by the cabinet. This credit must belong to our new recruits. Colleague, Song Baixian."
Xu Jiaying pointed at Song Boxian who was standing at the back of the crowd, and then continued: "In addition, Xiao Song is also kind and has added a lot of funds to our small banner department. After calculation, last year's expense index can be reported this year. You guys are here When the time comes, you can take the invoice and go to Wei Xinlan to report the bill."
Damn...
Song Boxian was shocked. He was forced to donate funds to the group to reimburse everyone. Moreover, it could be heard from Xu Jiaying's words that the small flag department he was in had not been there for at least a long time. I have reported the activity funds, how come the dignified Jinyiwei can't even keep up with the police force? It shouldn't be...
After Xu Jiaying finished talking about reimbursing accounts, she continued: "Our Baihu office is on duty during the Chinese New Year this year. Mr. Baihu said that this is the year when the new emperor ascends the throne. There are many things going on, and there are also many sacrificial activities for the crown prince at the end of the year and the beginning of the new year. I heard that His Majesty will come to Nanjing to pay homage to the tombs of Taizu and the Holy Ancestor in the new year, so we have a lot to do."
As soon as these words came out, Song Boxian found that the faces of several colleagues in front of him were wet. What did this mean?
"Team Xu,"
Song Boxian raised his hand, but was laughed at by Xu Jiaying: "We are not studying, and I am not a teacher. If you want to speak, you don't need to raise your hand."
Song Boxian was embarrassed for a while, and then said: "Can I understand that this year's Chinese New Year, our 100 households will be on duty, and we will have to attend all the above activities."
"You're right..." Xu Jiaying nodded: "However, we are not attending, we are appearing secretly. Of course, if it is done publicly, such as when the prince is offering sacrifices or His Majesty is offering sacrifices to the mausoleum, at this time, we have to wear official uniforms. Act as a Han general..."
When Xu Jiaying saw that Song Boxian didn't continue to ask, she became serious: "I'm still saying the same thing. As long as the mission comes from our small flag department, I will be very energetic. If anyone loses the chain in the middle, don't blame me for turning against him." people..."
"yes..."
Song Boxian also followed suit. Then after Xu Jiaying informed the meeting to adjourn, she turned around and left.
As soon as he walked out of the door, he was stopped by Wei Xinlan and pulled in front of Xu Jiaying. Song Boxian frowned and couldn't figure it out, but he still handed over: "Does Captain Xu have any mission for me?"
Xu Jiaying looked at Song Boxian for a long time and then said: "You should be careful when walking in Nanjing these days."
"Huh?" Song Boxian didn't understand: "How did you say this?"
Wei Xinlan said: "Do you still know about Hue's residence?"
"That guy Zhang Botao?"
Wei Xinlan nodded: "We have recently received reliable news that the Hue House may be detrimental to you."
Song Boxian suddenly raised his head, looked at Xu Jiaying and said: "Captain Xu, is Uncle Hue involved with Dingyang Houfu?"
Xu Jiaying raised her eyes and looked at Wei Xinlan, and then smiled slightly: "What, you really joined my Jinyi Guards and are already so good at snooping for information?"
Song Boxian did not tell the story of the last time he met the young Marquis of Dingyang at Lou's house. Instead, he looked at Wei Xinlan and said, "Could it be that the Marquis of Dingyang came forward?"
Wei Xinlan smiled bitterly and said: "Although we, the Imperial Guard, are not afraid of any honorable people, the last time our small banner team came forward to defraud the Hue House of so much money, not only you, but also us, were also hated."
When Song Boxian heard this, he was no longer worried, so he laughed twice: "Okay, after all, I am not the only one who suffers."
"Don't smile so happily," Xu Jiaying said with a straight face, "Do you know who is standing behind Dingyang Hou Mansion?"
Of course she didn't know about Song Boxian. Seeing Song Boxian shaking his head, Xu Jiaying said word by word: "Prince Qing's Mansion..."
When Song Boxian heard this, although he didn't know the follow-up of Prince Qing's Mansion, it was a prince's mansion after all. He took a breath and looked at Wei Xinlan with wide eyes.
Wei Xinlan also became embarrassed: "If I had known earlier, I wouldn't be greedy."
Wei Xinlan meant to help Chen Cao get money to vent his anger. When Song Boxian heard this, he said, "Can I understand that the backstage of Hue Bo Mansion is Prince Qing's Mansion?"
The two of them nodded at the same time. Song Boxian was no longer so worried, so he said: "So Captain Xu, you remind me to be careful today. What if I get tricked by them?"
"Ask for your own blessings..."
.
Wei Xinlan thoughtfully sent Song Boxian out of the door, and accepted Song Boxian's invitation to have barbecue with him not far from the base.
After setting up a small private room, Song Boxian asked: "Damn it, Old Wei, Captain Xu, do you mean to let me fend for myself?"
Wei Xinlan shook his head: "Don't worry, Captain Xu is not that kind of person. After all, you are from Jinyiwei. We don't have any shame. Some people do, so you can rest assured."
The person Wei Xinlan mentioned here refers to the son of the Duke of Chu, Zhao Zhennan, the current governor of Nanzhen Fusi.
Song Boxian thought for a while before he understood this point, so he asked again: "How come Dingyanghou Mansion is involved with Prince Qing's Mansion? Could it be that Dingyanghou Mansion is the agent for their big business?"
No, Old Wei, you must give me an idea today. "
