first minister

Chapter 205 Welcome by the Little Army God?
Outside the Jiang family's house in Zhulin, there is also an open space, on which three houses are neatly repaired, in the shape of a [凵] character, facing the square Jiang family mansion.

It's not aesthetically pleasing, but it fits the Jiang family's aesthetics.

The houses are now all tea shops, and tea and snacks are all free.

Xia Jingyun and Bai Yun found an empty table and sat down. Not long after, Su Yuanshang came back, picked up the teacup and had a drink first, then slowly said:
"I got it clear. Because of the superior status and great prestige of Jiang Laojun God, many people want to visit him. The Jiang family holds the military power, feasts guests, and hooks up wantonly. Naturally, it is impossible. But if only a part of it is seen, it is actually more problematic, and it will cause criticism to Jiang Laojun God. Later, the Jiang family thought of a way to see everyone but no one. It is now like this. Think about it, and there will be no things that people are afraid of."

After finishing speaking, he added: "Of course, if you want to give gifts to the real top honors and important ministers, you can still send them in directly. It's just that you can't see the face of the old military god."

Xia Jingyun smiled, "Fortunately, I still wondered if he would be unhappy if he didn't come, but it turned out that we have always been affectionate here."

Su Yuanshang smiled and said: "You can't say that. It's our duty to take this trip. Whether people care or not is their business."

Bai Yunbian said quietly: "I don't think I have the duty."

Xia Jingyun almost spit out his tea and glared at him.

Chen Fugui, who went to line up to get the number, came back and said apologetically, "Master, Mr. Su, Mr. Bai, we are one step late."

Bai Yunbian whispered: "I think if you don't reveal your identity directly, let's give the gift, and if you feel satisfied, just turn around and leave. Anyway, people don't want to see guests."

He really resented meeting Jiang Yuhu.

Xia Jingyun was a little hesitant. Although his majesty's suspicion was resolved by his sister, it is true that he provoked the court several times. If he visits the Jiang family again as a marquis mansion, he does not know what kind of reaction it will cause.

After all, the emperor's heart is like an abyss!

"Three, please be polite in this room."

Just as he was thinking silently, a middle-aged man suddenly came over, bowed to Xia Jingyun and the three, and said in a low voice, "Three, do you want a place for the name card?"

Both Su Yuanshang and Bai Yunbian were taken aback, but Xia Jingyun, who had experienced similar scenes before, tentatively asked in disbelief: "You mean you have a spare place for a famous post, and you can sell that place to us?"

The man nodded with a smile, "Young Master, you can see that he is a smart man, and he can hit the nail on the head! That's right, that's exactly what I mean!"

Both Su Yuanshang and Bai Yunbian were shocked, as if they never thought that such an operation could be possible.

Xia Jingyun was also surprised, "Aren't you afraid that the Jiang family will punish you?"

The man waved his hand, "Don't worry, since we dare to sell it like this, we will definitely let you in."

Xia Jingyun asked directly: "How much silver taels?"

"500 taels."

Bai Yunbian subconsciously said: "Why don't you snatch it! 500 taels!"

The man smiled, "I think the three of you are all dressed in luxurious clothes. 500 taels of silver is indeed expensive for ordinary people, but for the three of you, it's worth the effort to save a trip for a day! What's more, this is the Jiang family, and it's the Dinghaishenzhen of our Great Xia Dynasty. Is the status of the Jiang family not worth 500 taels or is your respect for the Jiang family not worth 500 taels?"

"Tch!" Bai Yun laughed, and was about to reprimand the other party for his sophistry, when Xia Jingyun suddenly said, "I'll buy it!"

He directly took out a 500 tael silver ticket and bought a number. Looking at the number plate, he smiled, "Number seventeen is a good position."

"Young Master Gao Yi!" The man collected the money with admiration, turned and ran away.

When Xia Jingyun sat down again, someone chatted with him immediately.

"Looking at your appearance, you don't seem to be from Zhongjing?"

Although Xia Jingyun is well-known, after all, he seldom appeared on important occasions, and most people didn't recognize his appearance. He only smiled when he heard the words, "I'm just a student who went to Beijing to rush for the exam. I just admire the prestige of the military god and the demeanor of Mr. Yuhu."

The man was amazed, "500 taels is enough to buy a small residence in Zhongjing City. It's really extravagant to only see the Jiang family's management side."

Xia Jingyun smiled slightly, "It's all just thinking about it."

"Young Master Gao Yi!" The man cupped his hands in admiration.

While talking, a man who looked like the Jiang family's steward walked out of the door, and first bowed his fists to everyone, "Thank you for your attention, you have worked so hard to come here, Jiang Jiu, the steward of the Jiang family, is so polite!"

Everyone present stood up and returned the salute.

"Next, please give us the number plate and the name card together with the distinguished guests who hold the number plate, and we will invite you in order later."

All of a sudden, many people got up and walked over, some of them even ran and jumped, wanting to be the first, but they didn't know what to do.

Xia Jingyun and the others also slowly walked towards the other side, and when they left, the person at the table next to them looked at their backs and sneered, "I don't know where the mountain bumpkins came from, but they are still complacent after being tricked by this idiot!"

"Isn't that right, now that these barbarians can also deceive these foreigners, who else in Zhongjing City will be taken advantage of by this!"

"For 500 taels, you can sleep with a pretty pretty girl in Liuyun Tianxiang Pavilion, but in the end, you just went to see a Jiang family steward. This person is really stupid even if he is stupid."

The three of them were chatting, and in a corner of the tea shop, several men were sitting together, looking at one of them excitedly and enviously.

"Okay, fourth! I actually sold two of them!"

"1000 taels, you can save 500 taels yourself, which is enough for you to change your house to a big house."

"Hey, that's an exaggeration, and I can exchange some good jewelry for my family!"

"Hey, why can't I meet these fools!"

"There are too many of us, and there are not enough fools! I hope that one day, the world will become too many fools, as long as there are not enough of us."

The visitors were respectfully invited into Jiang's house one by one in numerical order. Although they were interviewed in line, Jiang's family was trying their best not to let everyone feel humiliated.

"What number is it?"

In the main hall of the Jiang family, the seat in the middle was vacant. The butler Jiang Wugang sent the two of them away. He sat on the chair on the left, drank a sip of tea, and moistened his throat.

A steward at the side smiled and said: "No. 16, next is No. 17. This person's name is Xia Jingyun, and his name is Gao Yang. He is a candidate from Sishui Prefecture who went to Beijing to rush for the exam. He is here to meet you. Hehe, doesn't this person know the rules of our Jiang family? He still wants to see you."

The housekeeper froze suddenly, "What did you say his name was?"

The little steward was also taken aback, and repeated, "Xia Jingyun, whose name is Gao Yang."

The butler remembered the young master's explanation earlier, stood up abruptly, and rushed into the backyard.

The little steward was dumbfounded, and suddenly realized, "No, then shall I call them?"

There was no reply in the wind.

Outside Jiang's house, Xia Jingyun, Su Yuanshang, and Bai Yun stood beside him.

The two of No.16 had been out for quite a while, but no one asked them to go in, and the discussions around them suddenly rang out in a low voice.

Bai Yunbian frowned slightly, and muttered: "I didn't get along with this Jiang!"

Su Yuanshang was also a little puzzled, "This shouldn't be, those people dare to sell here openly, it can't be fake, right?"

Xia Jingyun looked calm, "Just wait and see."

In the corner of the tea shop not far away, those scalpers also muttered.

"What's the matter, don't you let them in?"

"Fourth, if they can't get in, they won't ask you to refund the money, will they?"

The man who sold the number also looked nervous, "No way, the Jiang family knew about this matter, so why not let them in for no reason! I think there is something wrong with this person, and the Jiang family doesn't want to see them!"

"That's true, there is a possibility."

"Damn it, look!"

"Fuck!"

A series of exclamations were dedicated to a figure striding out of the mansion.

"What are you doing here?"

Jiang Yuhu, whose chest was heaving slightly, stood at the door with his usual indifferent expression. He glanced at Bai Yun, who turned his head aside and pretended not to look at him, "I also brought a trash with me."

Bai Yun turned his head and glared.

Xia Jingyun smiled and cupped his hands, "I wanted to come here before, but I heard that the general will spend the New Year with the soldiers in the army, so it has been delayed until now. Please forgive me, general."

Jiang Yuhu waved his hand, "Here you are, come in and have a cup of tea."

As he said that, he turned and went in, Xia Jingyun and his party naturally stepped up to keep up.

Outside the gate, surprised faces looked at each other, with one thought in their minds:
Who is this person?Can the small army of labor come to greet you in person?
