Chapter 316 Mind
"Master Hou, it's time to get up and wash up!"
Ji Song, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly sat up when he heard the call outside.
"I know, let's get started!"
It's not that he just woke up, but that he had either eaten or slept in the Ancestral Temple for the past three days, and had already had enough sleep. He couldn't sleep at all last night, so he woke up at the sound of a call.
These past few days have really choked him up. He can't gather in groups, drink alcohol, eat very little, and his mouth has long faded away.
As soon as they entered the Ancestral Temple, they were separated and each had their own courtyard. When they got really bored, they would lie on the wall and chat with Lao Xue and Su Lie, bragging and spanking.
He got up and put on the marquis clothes that he had prepared. Several maids brought toiletries and wanted to come over to help him wash, but he kicked them out.
After coming to the Tang Dynasty for many years, I have been a noble for a long time, but I am still not used to being served by others. I dress and wash myself at home.
Ji's mother also came from a poor background and didn't pay much attention to these things. The housekeeper Zheng Li also said it several times, but he still went his own way and promised well, but just didn't do it.
He was wearing a purple-red gauze dress today, with a round-neck embroidered dress underneath, which was extremely luxurious.
He rarely wears such clothes on weekdays. He only wears such formal clothes during large-scale ceremonies. Today is the award ceremony for meritorious soldiers, and he is no exception.
When they came out, Lao Xue and Su Lie were already waiting at the door. Ji Song didn't waste any time, looked at the sky without any light, said hello, got on his horse and rushed towards Zhuque Gate.
Most of the meritorious soldiers had already returned with Li Jing, Chai Shao and others. They had been waiting at home during this period. As they walked along, they kept meeting acquaintances on the road.
When he arrived at Zhuque Gate, he saw Liu Laoer and his people waiting there. He hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "How are you doing? Is everything okay at home?"
Liu Laoer was a little dodgeful, but thinking of what was going on at home, he gritted his teeth and said, "The Queen came to the house the day before yesterday and adopted the young lady as her adopted daughter. Originally, I was not allowed to tell you, for fear that you would cause trouble."
"What? Accept You Ning as your adopted daughter?"
Ji Song was shocked. He never expected that the queen would do this. She was forcing herself to be tied to the royal car! "What's wrong, brother Song? You don't look good, what happened?" Lao Xue was beside him and asked hurriedly when he heard Ji Song's exclamation.
He knew how stable this brother was, and it must be no small matter to make him sweat.
"It's nothing, it's just that the queen adopted your unmarried younger brother and sister as an adopted daughter two days ago. Don't worry about this matter. I have my own opinion."
He forced himself to calm down. He knew that Lao Xue had a short temper and didn't say much to him.
He thought for a while and said to Liu Laoer: "You go back first. Don't have any approval opinions on this matter, and don't make a big deal about it. We'll talk about everything after I come back."
"But Lord Marquis, I don't know who spread the news yesterday, but now I'm afraid everyone in Chang'an knows about it!"
Ji Song smiled bitterly when he heard this. Also, since the royal family has already done what it has done, what room for redemption is left?At this point, all you have to do is give thanks, otherwise what else can you do? "Okay, I know this. You can go back first!" Ji Song said impatiently.
"Yes, Lord Hou!"
Lao Xue came up to Ji Song and whispered: "Since this has already happened, don't take it to heart. Brother knows that you are arrogant, but the more you are like this, the more His Majesty will subdue you."
"Even if you have any ideas, you have to express your gratitude with gratitude. This is because the emperor looks up to you, so you can just take care of it. Don't be ungrateful, and don't do anything stupid!" Ji Song shook his head, Without saying anything, he knew that Lao Xue was right. In this feudal era where imperial power was supreme, the will of the entire country was actually the will of the emperor.
Although the royal family is treating him well now, as long as there is a conflict between his and the royal family's interests, he will definitely attack him mercilessly. There is no doubt about this.
Ji Song lowered his head and pondered. Thinking of all the things he had done since he came to the Tang Dynasty, it felt a little like a lifetime ago. He raised his eyes and looked at the tall and majestic imperial city. He wondered if he should make some plans?
Just as Ji Song was deep in thought, he felt someone pulling on him and looked at Lao Xue with some confusion.
"Look." After speaking, he raised his chin.
Ji Song turned around and saw that it was Cheng Yaojin and several other veterans coming over.
He did not dare to neglect and rushed forward to greet him.
"Hahaha, our great hero is back. By the way, I haven't congratulated you yet. Your unmarried wife has been adopted as an adopted daughter by the queen. This is a great blessing."
Cheng Yaojin yelled a lot when he came up, but Ji Song didn't hear any congratulations at all, especially when he saw the worried look in his eyes. Ji Song was stunned for a moment, and then nodded vaguely.
Cheng Yaojin felt relieved after seeing Ji Song's response.
They saw this matter very clearly. It was clear that His Majesty didn't know how to reward Ji Song. That's why he came up with such a trick, which not only tied the boy to the royal chariot, but also solved the reward issue.
Considering the great grace of marrying a princess, who would dare to say that the emperor's rewards and punishments are unfair? In the end, Ji Song was captured in this way. If there are still such problems in the future, the emperor can block everyone back with just a word of housework.
It is indeed a good thing that this kind of thing happens to other noble families, but for Ji Song, it puts a pair of shackles on him.
Originally, Ji Song was already at the top of the Tang Dynasty, whether it was his literary name or other aspects. As long as the emperor didn't target him, he didn't need the royal grace at all.
With this kid's ability, he will definitely have a place in the literary world of the Tang Dynasty in the future. He could have established his own family without relying on anyone.
But the emperor tied this boy to the royal body at once. The originally aloof and aloof situation immediately changed.
Cheng Yaojin thought with his toes, and knew that this must be the news sent by His Majesty. Today's reward ceremony will definitely give this boy's unmarried daughter-in-law a title. It is probably not an ordinary title. His mother must also have one. Reward.
Ji Song cheered up and greeted a few people, and said with a smile: "This is all His Majesty's grace. You Ning can win the Queen's favor. This is her blessing. In a few days, I will take her to the palace to express my gratitude!"
Chai Shao was a little worried at first, but when he saw Ji Song's appearance, he felt matter what he thinks in his heart, he must not show it.
Why do you still look down on the royal favor towards you?So what do you want to do? So, since the matter is a foregone conclusion, just thank you and let’s talk about the rest later!
"Haha, you have to call me uncle from now on."
Chai Shao laughed loudly, perhaps to lighten the atmosphere, and even joked with Ji Song angrily.
No matter what they thought in their hearts, the next few people all congratulated Ji Song and said that they must go to watch the ceremony when they get married.
Ji Song also responded one by one, promising to send the invitations to all the elders once the date is set, and so on.
