Across the Water Margin: Officials of Ximen

Chapter 153 How Can You Lose To A Horse

Ximen Qing heard the singing of Zhang Xixi and Zhang Yulan, two delicate ladies, and felt very unhappy.What is the purpose of running around so hard and fighting bandits to death?Isn't it just to be able to stay with these beauties for a long time?The life of a high official should be like this!

The body is soaked in the warm fragrant soup, and every pore of the whole body is really comfortable.Official Ximen Qing rested his head on the side of the barrel, admiring Zhang Xixi and Zhang Yulan, the two little beauties in front of him. It really is "the green hills on both sides of the strait facing each other", the scenery is beyond words!

Qing'e's hand dance should compete for excellence, and purple bamboo shoots should try their best.

Naturally, Zhang Xixi and Zhang Yulan would not give in. For a while, the two daughters competed in front of the official Ximen Qing, each with a unique trick.The official Ximen Qing was also very busy, wishing he could grow superhuman.

Although the weather has entered autumn at this time, the room is really full of spring.

……

After returning from his trip to Lingzhou this time, Ximen Qing stayed in Ximen Fort for several days.

During the day, Ximen Qing wandered around inside and outside Ximen Fort.He either goes to the weapon workshop to try out the newly built armor and weapons, and puts forward suggestions for improvement; or he goes to the youth training class run by himself to give lectures to the teenagers, share meals with them, and cultivate feelings with the teenagers; or he goes to train soldiers. On the field, guide the farmer's soldiers to practice in formation to cultivate their battle discipline and overall awareness; or compete with Luan Tingyu and Hu Sanniang in martial arts and practice riding.In short, Ximenqing is busy every day, promoting the smooth development of various things in the castle.

At night, the senior officials of Ximen Qing took turns to start a thrilling human-beast battle with the three daughters Hu Sanniang, Zhang Xixi, and Zhang Yulan, and had a very happy and romantic life.

Maybe it's because Ximen Qing's ability has grown in the past few months, and he, a love beast, can narrowly win every time he fights with little ladies.Not to mention Zhang Xixi and Zhang Yulan, who are all charming and charming, but Hu Sanniang, who is physically fit and has amazing stamina, at the end she has to ask the high officials for forgiveness, which makes Ximen Qing very proud.

Hey~ It’s not because I’m a high official in Ximen, I’m lustful, it’s really because it’s been more than half a year since time travel, and I’m surrounded by many beauties, but I’ve never had a descendant, high official, I’m anxious!

Look at how powerful my brother-in-law "Iron Rod" Luan Tingyu is. Not long after we got married to my sister Ximen Xin, she got my sister pregnant, and he is going to be a father in a few months!This guy couldn't even jump over a wall to have an affair a few months ago!How could he be one step ahead of me?It really makes me jealous!

Also, according to Hu Sanniang, the bay red horse on her Hu's estate is also pregnant with a young boy, and that nasty yellow pussy horse is also going to be a father.I, a high official, actually lost to a horse, which is tolerable or unbearable!

I want to be ashamed and brave!I want to work hard!I want to sow good seed!I must not lose to a beast!

Poor little ladies in Ximen Fort, who have to endure another storm from Ximen Qing's officials...

After Hu Sanniang, Zhang Xixi, and Zhang Yulan sweated a lot of hard work, Ximenqing left Ximenbao and returned to Yanggu County.

In Yanggu County, there are Li Jiaojiao, a concubine with a fair and big conscience, and Pan Jinlian, who is more conscientious than Li Jiaojiao, waiting for Ximen Qing!For the officials of Ximen Qing, such a good field cannot be left uncultivated, and it must be plowed several times carefully with rain and dew!

However, after returning to the city, he still had to do business first.

Back in Yanggu County, Ximenqing immediately went to visit the county magistrate and county magistrates, and gave them gifts from Dongchang Mansion, which made the greedy magistrate and county magistrate very happy.In this Yanggu County, Ximen officials are really indispensable!

After leaving the county office and returning to the mansion, Ximen Qing discussed with Ximen Zhong, who was in charge of the raw medicine store, and asked him to prepare to open a new medicine store in Dongchang Mansion.

With the help of the local local snakes Zhang Qing, Huang Puduan and others in Dongchang Prefecture, Ximen Qing believes that the business of the new medicine store in Dongchang Prefecture will be very prosperous.If we don't open now, when will we wait?

And that "No Feather Arrow" Zhang Qing brother had already said before parting that after Ximen Qing's medicine shop opened in Dongchang Mansion, all the medicinal materials needed to be purchased in the Dongchang Mansion barracks would be purchased from brother Ximen Qing.With such a long-term big business, why should Ximen Qing not be able to gain a foothold in Dongchang Mansion?

After Ximen Zhong heard the news, he even praised the senior official for making friends well and planning ahead for his old servant, which saved him a lot of trouble.

Knowing that there is a lot to be done, Ximen was loyal and rejoiced, and immediately returned to the raw medicine shop, recruited experienced hands, prepared materials, and began to prepare for the expansion.

After that, Ximen Qing met with Jiang Zhong, Shi Yong, and several neighbors who were doing business together on Zishi Street, and learned about the expansion of restaurants, the brewing of high-quality wine, and the operation of the gold and silver shop business in Dongping Prefecture. Condition.

With the concerted efforts of all the brothers and neighbors, Ximenqing's various businesses went smoothly and prospered day by day, earning him a lot of money.

The current official Ximen Qing is not the richest man in Yanggu County. I am afraid that there is no one richer than him in Dongping Mansion of Yunzhou.

People are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong!If you have more money, it is natural to ensure safety.

Now is the era when thieves are rampant. If you only have a wealth of wealth but no force to protect it, you will only be reduced to fattened pigs and sheep waiting to be slaughtered.To the south of Yanggu County is Shuibo Liangshan, where there are many thieves.Now that he has become famous for his sudden wealth, he has to guard against it.

Although there are allies in Dulonggang in Yanggu County, Ximen Qing feels that the troops he can directly call are still too few, at least he must have thousands of troops like Zengtou City!

Ximen Qing thought about this, and after sending away the neighbors in the neighborhood, he left Jiang Zhong and Shi Yong alone.

Ximenqing negotiated with the two brothers in secret, and asked Jiang Zhong to take Shi Yong back to Yanzhou, north of Yunzhou, to recruit all the disciples Jiang Zhong originally had in his hometown as a basis, and then recruit young and strong people from all over Yanzhou to bring them back to Yanzhou. Go back to Ximenbao and form a Yanzhou infantry of about [-] people.

Jiang Zhong already had a solid foundation in Yanzhou, and there were 200 disciples who worshiped him as his teacher.At this time, as long as he is willing to spend money to raise soldiers, it is not too difficult for him to recruit a thousand people.After hearing Ximenqing's plan, Jiang Zhong agreed.

Ximen Qing also told Jiang Zhong to try his best to recruit tall and strong people like him.After Jiang Zhong took the order, he said goodbye to Shi Yong, ready to leave for Yanzhou.

In Ximenqing's mind, a man as majestic as Menshen Jiang was suitable for leading elite infantry in battle.Ximenqing decided to ask Tang Long to build full-body heavy armor for Jiang Zhong's team, so that Jiang Zhong could train an elite heavy infantry.

Chapter 154 The Secret in the Palace

After Jiang Zhong and Shi Yong brothers left, Ximen Qing's urgent need to do in Yanggu County was finished.

At this time, the high officials should take a break from their busy schedules to soothe and nourish the lonely and dry hearts of Pan Jinlian and Li Jiaojiao.

Concubine Li Jiaojiao's personal maid has been guarding outside the house.Seeing that Jiang Zhong and his wife had already left, and there was no one else in the room except Ximen Qing, she walked in quickly.

After saluting to the official Ximen, the maid reported to him that Li Jiaojiao had finished bathing and changing clothes, and now she was waiting for the official Ximen Qing in the study, and she wanted to personally serve the official to practice calligraphy and cultivate her mind.

Li Jiaojiao, the little goblin!This is keeping an eye on the high officials and I won't let them go!She is afraid that I will go to Zishi Street to find Pan Jinlian first, right?

Li Jiaojiao, how can you hide your small thoughts from me, a senior official? But, senior official, I just like your cute narrow-mindedness.Make your wish come true today!

Hehehe~ I haven't practiced handwriting for three days, and I don't know if my calligraphy has regressed? Today I have to leave a few more ink treasures on Li Jiaojiao!

Ximen Qing cheered up and walked towards the study.

Li Jiaojiao's personal maid followed Ximen Qing far away, and walked towards the study together.

After the senior official finished practicing calligraphy, this maid has to serve Li Jiaojiao and the senior official!

……

Two hours later, the official Ximen Qing threw his brush on the ground again, appreciating his calligraphy with satisfaction.It seems that there is no need to worry too much, my calligraphy is still far better than that of "Su, Huang, Mi, and Cai", and I am firmly on the throne of the number one calligrapher in the Song Dynasty!

Hey~ I can't vent all my energy, why don't I go to that Zishi street and alley to climb the ladder?

……

In this way, Ximenqing lived in Yanggu County for some time, going back and forth between Li Jiaojiao and Pan Jinlian like a butterfly wearing flowers, working non-stop every day.

Senior official, I have worked so hard this time, I should be able to grow food on one or two pieces of land, right?I don't know, which little lady can conceive my flesh and blood of Ximen Qing first?

……

These days, a confidant who Zhao Zhongming arranged for Ximen Qing to copy books still followed Ximen Qing every day.The wonderful stories of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" were narrated by Ximen Qing, and he recorded them on paper one by one, and sent them back to Dongchang Mansion.

The books printed by Zhao Zhongming were still in short supply, and booksellers from all states gathered at Zhao Zhongming's place holding money.Every time a new volume of the Three Kingdoms book was released by the printing shop, they would frantically loot it all.

Zhao Zhongming sighed in his heart: "The business of high officials is really like stealing money!"

A month later, the book "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has been sold and promoted by booksellers, and has been sold to various state capitals in the Song Dynasty.Bianliang, Tokyo, which has the most civilians in the market, even set off a wave of reading "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

After some days, the book "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" which was popular in the market was gradually introduced into the palace, and after several twists and turns, it fell into the hands of Concubine Li Ming, whom the Emperor Daojun loved.

This Concubine Li Ming is none other than Li Shishi, the oiran of Bianliang City in Tokyo.Because Li Shishi was pregnant, he was admitted into the palace by Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty and named Concubine Li Ming.
