Qin mubai and others strolled around their new home and were very satisfied. This is a typical Chang'an courtyard. The entrance is the green garden, and the corridor is opposite to the back garden and polo field. The first floor is the living room, dining room and study. The second floor is the master's bedroom, chess Pavilion and piano room. The backyard is where the servants live. There is a popular polo field. Because Qin mubai was a military family, the people of the household department also specially added Buwu Pavilion, which was specially used to store weapons and armor. At the edge of the court near the fence, there are also stack targets for arrow training.

The courtyard is not big or small, and the house is decent. At a glance, it is neither luxurious nor shabby. During the reign of Zhenguan, simplicity prevailed, and the whole house was in order. It can be seen that the people in the household department are arranging the style of Qin mubai's house according to the pattern of Qin Shubao's house. It's just that Qin mubai's family is obviously a little smaller and a little lower. All these officials have a reputation in mind. Although Qin mubai is now in the limelight and is a red man around the emperor, Qin Shubao is not only the founder of the country, but also Qin mubai's father. Qin mubai's family should not be more imposing than his father's.

"Yes, it suits me. Thank you very much, Dr. su Qin mubai is grateful to Su Yuandao.

Su Yuan said with a smile: "it's my duty. How can I thank you? It's good that the general likes it. I'll be able to go back to my humble duty and pay for it. "

"Wait!" And unexpectedly, Qin Shuanger suddenly spoke. She first gave Su Yuan an apologetic smile, then pulled Qin mubai aside and whispered, "brother. Are you going to keep the four maidservants

"What's the matter?" Qin mubai didn't turn around for a moment.

"Oh, dear That's not good! " Qin Shuanger blushed and stamped her feet in a soft voice.

Qin mubai blinked a few times and recovered.

The ten men and women in the mansion were all servants and maidservants given by the emperor. But they all had contracts for selling themselves, and they all fell into the hands of Qin mubai. To put it bluntly, these people will be Qin mubai's private property. They don't have to pay wages, they can support people. If they are in a good mood, a few money is a gift. They can be sold like goods, livestock and slaves. Especially those maidservants, as long as Qin mubai is willing, they are just tools for venting their desires. They don't need to be given any fame. If they are kind, they can be accepted as concubines at any time, so that they can live a little more comfortable.

It seems that Qin shuang'er is not happy with her brother. There are these women around.

"Brother, you haven't been married yet. How can you How about concubines? " Shuanger blushed and said, "it's insulting to talk about it. My father must be unhappy. Besides, if Wu Meiniang knows, she will be angry with you. "

Qin mubai is thinking, I am not going to find an excuse to enter the palace to see the emperor? just right.

"Who said I was going to have a concubine?" Qin mubai laughed and said, "but you have a point. What makes my father angry is not good after all. Well, among Su Lang, I want these six male servants. Take them back. I haven't married yet. I don't need a female servant to serve my wife for the time being. "

"This According to the order, the Ministry of accounts has paid for all the maidservants. It's a matter of mutual willingness to give money in real gold and silver, to draw in black and white. " Su Yuan said with some embarrassment, "if the general wants to return four maidservants, it will be difficult to do his humble job. The emperor asked why he only gave general Qin six servants. It's hard to reply to your humble position! "

"Then tell the emperor the truth! My brother is not married, so I don't want a maid. " Qin Shuanger said first.

"Don't bother, Su Lang won." Qin mubai said with a smile, "Your Majesty, I'm going to the palace to thank you. When I see your majesty, I will explain to him. Surely your majesty will not blame the doctor. "

"That's very good. Thank general Qin for his thoughtfulness." Su Yuan said with a happy smile.

It was late that day, so Qin mubai planned to enter the palace the next day. That night, he did not immediately live in a new home, but went back to Qin's house with his mother and sister. Qin Shubao's reaction to Qin mubai's new home was very flat. He just said, "when you get married, you will be really independent. You have no objection to living there every day as a father, but I hope you can still regard this place as your home, just like before. "

"Father, mother and sister are here. This is always the home of the child." Qin mubai naturally agreed.

Qin shuang'er broke Qin Shubao's heart. She said, father, you don't want to go home often! In fact, he is also very poor. Although he is accompanied by us, he often feels lonely and lonely. Because he can't fight now. All his old friends go their separate ways. Usually no one can accompany him to practice martial arts, compare arrows, play chess and drink.

How could Qin mubai not know his father's mood and intention? Both brothers are married and seldom come back. He is the only son left by him. Naturally, he hopes to be closer. Since ancient times, the Chinese nation has been in the big family. This is the truth that "Yao'er" is often the most loved by his parents.

Towards noon the next day, Qin mubai went into the palace. First, I went to Wude hall to see Jia. I heard that the emperor had gone to Penglai hall, the back palace, and went there.

The emperor had just finished lunch with Li Zhi and Li Mingda. Hearing that Qin mubai asked for a meeting, he immediately announced the invitation. When they heard that Qin mubai was coming, they went out to greet each other with joy.Seeing the ceremony, Li Shimin said with a smile: "mubai, didn't I give you a ten day holiday. Why did you come back on the fourth day? "

"Weichen came to the palace specially to thank you." Qin mubai replied with a smile and said, "the house your majesty has given me is very good. I like it very much."

"Ha ha, that's good! Su Yuan has always done a good job. " Li Shimin said with a smile.

"But. I don't want to invite you. "

"Say it."

Qin mubai said about the return of the four maidservants. Li Shimin nodded and said, "I'm sure of this. It's rare that you are so frugal. It's commendable. When you have a wife and concubine, I will give you a maid to serve your family. "

"Thank you for your permission." Qin mubai had a relaxed smile. "In fact, I still miss the two little princes, so I went into the palace to have a look."

"Village head, we miss you too! The village head won't leave today. Will you teach us how to play Pipa this afternoon? " Li Zhi and Li Mingda cried together.

Qin mubai smiles, neither agreeing nor refusing. But Li Shimin nodded his head magnanimously. He said with a smile, "young slave, you can't pester your village head all the time. He has many other things to do! But this afternoon, you can be together. "

"Oh! That's great Li Zhi and Li Mingda cheered together.

"Thank you Qin mubai gave thanks. I thought. Just a chance to meet Pang Fei. May be about to leave Chang'an for some time, Gaoyang Princess things have to be arranged in advance. When I leave, if Princess Gaoyang of Chang'an really succeeds in "cleaning up" Fang's last love, I just have an alibi. Good, good.

Li Shimin asked nainiang and others to take the two little guys away for a nap, called Qin mubai to sit down, and said like chatting: "mubai, you've been in Baiqi for a long time, and you've been doing well. I'm very satisfied and appreciate it. It's not easy for you to polish this army so well in just over half a year. Now Baiqi has almost become the symbol of me and the royal family, which is of great significance. At the moment, I have a difficult problem that I want to leave to you. "

Qin mubai's heart was awe inspiring: as expected. The emperor mentioned it!

"Your Majesty, if you have something to do, please do so. Weichen and Baiqi's officers and men will not refuse to go through fire and water. " Qin mubai's boxing is the right way.

"You don't have to go through fire and water." Li Shimin said with a smile, "yesterday, the imperial court received an urgent report from Jiangzhou saying that there was a sudden flood. The disaster situation in the damaged counties is serious, and the resettlement of victims and hungry people has become a big problem. The county government was short of staff, so it appealed to the imperial court. So I ordered to dispatch 5000 soldiers from Jiangzhou Junfu and its vicinity to provide disaster relief. Moreover, I sent Li Ke, king of Wu, to represent me. Go to the head. However, although Li Ke was a prince, he did not have high prestige in front of local officials and military generals. What I mean is to send you to lead a hundred horsemen to help Li Ke manage the affairs of Jiangzhou. "

"Wei Chen leads the order!" Qin mubai said nothing. The answer was firm.

"Ha ha, I can rest assured if you go." Li Shimin said, "originally, I planned to go there in person, but the government and military affairs were busy, so I couldn't help myself. Now I've ordered my own personal guard to lead the troops. Those state officials and generals should understand what I mean. In fact, I have another intention to send you there. I hope you can do another thing secretly. "

"Your Majesty, please make it clear." Qin mubai asked suspiciously.

Li Shimin frowned and said, "in fact, as early as last year, the Ministry of household and the Ministry of industry of the imperial court received a discount from the Jiangzhou government, asking for instructions to allocate manpower and money to build the Jiangzhou Lake dike. At that time, I personally approved this matter, and ordered the household department to allocate 50 million yuan for the construction of the river embankment. A small lake bank. So much money should be enough. However, floods still broke out in the late summer and early autumn this year, so I suspect there is a problem here. "

"Does your majesty suspect that someone has embezzled the money from his own pocket, resulting in the unfavorable construction of the river embankment?" Qin mubai asked along Li Shimin's meaning.

"Not bad." Li Shimin said, "but if I send the imperial envoy of the imperial censor and the Minister of Dali temple to investigate and question the culprits now, there will be a lot of panic. Affected the state and county officials there to spare no effort in disaster relief. Therefore, I secretly order you to investigate this matter in the process of disaster relief. When you have the result, don't publicly announce it, and you don't have to scare the snake. Let me know. "

"Wei Chen leads the order." Qin mubai bowed his hand to answer the promise.

"Li Ke was also under my secret order to investigate the money for the river embankment. For the time being, you are only allowed to know about this matter, and there is no need to tell a third person. You two have to work together and do it properly. " Li Shimin said, "if there is something undecided, please report it to me at any time."
