Chapter 107 The proud Xie Lian
Yuchi Gong watched the two of them collaborating in front of him, as if there was no one around, and his teeth itched with hatred.
It wasn't until Chen Shou left that Ji Song's vision went dark and someone hit him on the back of his head.
Ji Song turned around and glared angrily, but when he saw Yuchi's steel-like muscles and angry look, he gave in decisively.
Although his martial arts skills were good, compared with these veterans who had fought countless battles, he was still a little behind. He didn't want to be beaten by Yuchi.
Sure enough, people still have to keep a low profile. No, as soon as I knew that I was going to be granted a title, I felt a little complacent, but I was resented by Yuchi.
Low-key, low-key is king.
"General Yuchi."
"Call uncle!"
"Uh!"
"What? What can I do if I don't deserve it?"
Yuchi rolled his eyes and looked at Ji Song sideways. If you dare to say no, I want you to look good!
"Uncle Yuchi!"
Ji Song resisted the urge to beat him up and called uncle with a smile.
"Hey! My dear nephew, come on, tell me what the two of you were doing just now."
No wonder Yuchi was confused. He hadn't read much. Although his ancestors had been prosperous, they had long since declined by his generation.
"Uh! Actually, it's good for Uncle Yuchi to read more when he has nothing to do!"
"what!"
"How do you hit someone?"
"You want me to study more? Are you looking down on people? I'll beat you two if you don't study. Just stop!"
"Put down what you are holding and I won't run away."
"Hey! I can't cure you yet? Let's see!"
Ji Song only felt a black shadow flash past and relied on instinct to avoid back, he took a breath of air and saw an iron whip stuck under his feet.
"Yu Chigong! You are an old man who has no martial ethics!"
Xie Lian returned to Chang'an long after the Turks completely withdrew from the all, the Xuanjia Army is Li Shimin's trump card. What's the point of staying out for a long time?
After Chai Shao led the Xuanjia Army back to Chang'an, he recommended Xie Lian to the emperor. After examination by the emperor, Fang Xuanling and others, they found that Xie Lian was not only knowledgeable, but also knew a lot about military affairs, so he He was assigned to serve in the Ministry of War, where he was the head of the Merit Examination Department and an official of the sixth rank.
Such a promotion speed can be said to be extremely fast. You must know that originally he was only a ninth-grade doctor of Taixue, but now he was promoted to a full sixth-grade, a full seven grades, which is really enviable to others.
But who let him have the recommendation of Chai Shao, the consort of the eldest princess of the dynasty? Originally, after the turbulence of the previous period, there were some vacancies in the court officials.
Now Xie Lian has good abilities but no background. If the emperor doesn't quickly make him one of his own, learning this imperial skill will be in vain.
This time, Xie Lian followed Ji Song in two battles and made a lot of achievements, and captured countless time, it was a good harvest of official position and money.
No, this is no different from that of later generations. As soon as Xie Lian got rich, he sold a house in Chongyifang, Chang'an.
Although not big, it is enough.
It is also only across an alley from Ji Song's Chongrenfang residence. It can be seen that during the turmoil in Chang'an, he did not suffer any losses and even gained a huge advantage!
Although the house in Chongyifang is only half an acre in size, it is rare to have such a place in Chang'an where there is so much money and so much Lian was very proud of himself these days, always smiling no matter who he met.
"Snapped!"
No, when she was eating with her family, she laughed cheerfully again. Mrs. Zhang, who was about to eat, couldn't stand it any longer. She slapped the chopsticks in her hand and glared at Xie Lian!
"We are eating! Why are we hysterical? We are not afraid that the children will read the joke."
You Ning and Xie Kuan were quickly digging into the food in their bowls, but the constant exchange of glances revealed the snickering in their hearts.
"What kind of hysteria is not hysterical? Aren't I happy? You see, we sold our house in Chang'an in less than three years, and I was promoted. If some people in the clan know about my achievements at this time, Xie Lian, My intestines are still green.
snort!What did they do to us back then?The property left by my father was occupied and plundered by them. I almost starved to death on the streets back then. If my father-in-law hadn't supported me, where would I be today? "
With that, he took Zhang's hand and said, "When we have time, let's go back to Jiangdong to see my father-in-law!"
"Really?"
Mrs. Zhang asked excitedly, regardless of whether the child was still in front of her.
"Of course it's true. When have I ever lied to you?" After saying that, he didn't forget to pat his wife on the back.
"Snapped!"
"Yeah! Let go! The child is still watching, what does it look like!"
Mrs. Zhang broke away from Xie Lian's clutches and frowned.
It's just that the touch of emotion in his eyes can't be eliminated. He has followed her around all these years, and now he has completely settled down.
Although the official residences provided by the imperial court are good, they are not their own, and they are always a little uncomfortable to live in.
I originally thought that I would have to wait a few years before selling a house in Chang'an, but I didn't expect that when Brother Song went out for a trip, his official position was promoted several levels, and he even had money for the house. It was like a dream now! "Aren't you at the Ministry of War? Brother Song went with you. Why haven't you come back yet? Yesterday, when I went to my sister's place, she missed Brother Song a little and lost a lot of weight." Mrs. Zhang put down her chopsticks and stared. The brother and sister, who were flirting with each other, asked Xie Lian.
"Hey! Didn't I explain this to Madam-in-law? Brother Song is still working under General Yuchi. He will come back as soon as he finishes handling things. There is no big battle at this time, so there is nothing to worry about."
Xie Lian said disapprovingly that when he thought about it, Ji Song didn't need to worry at all.
Now that Yuchi Gong regards Ji Song as a treasure and it's too late to protect him, how could something happen? "However, if you have nothing to do, take your two children and go see my wife more often. She will have random thoughts when she is alone at home. Please spend more time with her and talk to her! In my estimation, Brother Song has only been back for a few days, and the award ceremony will be in three days. Brother Song’s contribution this time must be extraordinary! "
Xie Lian suddenly felt envious when he thought of this.
Brother Song is only about fourteen years old and less than fifteen years old. He has reached a height that no one else can reach in their lifetime.
"Dad, what kind of official title can Brother Song get?"
Hearing her father mention Ji Song, You Ning's eyes lit up and she asked aloud.
"Yes! I heard that Brother Song has made great contributions on the battlefield. You have promoted him several levels. What position can he reach?"
Zhang was also a little curious. In the past, Ji Song was only a baron. Although he had a fiefdom and a household, he did not have a title because he was not a knight for military merit.
But this time is different. These two great victories are real military exploits. I wonder what kind of titles can be awarded? Viscount?Or a count? "I'm really surprised at this point. Others' rewards have been decided by the military department, but Brother Song's reward has been suppressed by the palace. I don't know what His Majesty thinks. There is no news at all."
Xie Lian was also a little confused. Logically speaking, he shouldn't, but there was indeed no news. Several proposals from the Ministry of War were rejected.
Finally, news came out, telling them to leave it alone. He was also confused at this time!
