Chapter 5 Four

Bian Si went to look at Wei Zheng, and shook his head: "This Guozhang Yin is indeed a master, but I heard that it will cost a lot of money to find him to do things. If you come here empty-handed, my lord, I'm afraid—" Wei Zheng pulled out his hand. He took out a piece of paper, patted it and said: "How do you know that I came empty-handed? I prepared a generous gift for him, and it's all written on this gift list! Go and knock on the door!" Pass the piece of paper to Bian Si. Bian Si went to take the paper, went straight to the gate of Yin Mansion, and knocked on the door a few times. With a "creak", the door opened, and a head poked out, it was a servant.The servant looked Bian Si up and down and said, "What's the matter with you?" Bian Si went cupping his hands and said, "My lord is asking to see the father-in-law of the country." Father-in-law, do you know the rules of doing things here?" Bian Si turned to look at Wei Zheng.Wei Zheng understood, put his right hand into the cuff of his left hand and touched it, but found nothing, his face turned red.Only then did Bian Si go to remember that he usually didn't bring any money, and he didn't have much money at home, so he hurriedly took out a string of money from his sleeve and handed it over, while nodding and bowing, he said: "Thank you for your hard work, the housekeeper, you take this money Go have a drink."

The servant took the bunch of money with one hand and weighed it in his hand, then stretched out the other hand: "Are there any famous assassins?" Bian Si went to say respectfully, "There are no famous assassins." The servant's expression changed: "There are no famous assassins." How can I report to the Father-in-law?" Bian Siqu hurriedly handed over the paper: "Although there is no famous assassin, but there is a gift list, and the Lord-in-law will definitely meet us after seeing this gift list." The servant took it The paper glanced at it: "You guys just wait." Before the words finished, there was a "creak", and the door closed again.

The rich-faced Yin Guozhang is like a round ball, sitting on a carved stool, drinking wine, and teasing a starling in the cage with a bamboo stick.The servant came in gently, knelt down and saluted, and said, "Master, there is someone outside the door asking to see you." Yin Guozhang did not turn his head and said, "Who is it?" The gift list." Yin Guozhang turned his head and glanced at the servant who was kneeling on the ground: "It's a joke, there is no name badge, I know who he is, just say I'm not free, no see!" The servant answered "Yes", turned around and retreated.Yin Guozhang turned around to tease the starling again, and suddenly thought in his heart, if he came to the house in such a heavy snow day, there must be something urgent to ask the master, if the matter is urgent, this gift may not be light!Thinking of this, he quickly turned around and shouted: "Stop—" The servant who was walking outside was startled, stopped quickly, and asked humbly, "Master, what else do you want?"

Yin Guozhang: "Bring me the gift list and let me see it." The servant quickly walked over and presented the gift list with both hands.Yin Guozhang took it over and took a look, frowning, he didn't know more than half of the characters in it.He raised his eyes, looked at the servant and asked: "What is written on it?" The servant replied: "This guest wants to honor the father-in-law with a million gold!" Yin Guozhang's face changed: "One million gold? "This number really surprised him. In the past two years, his daughter Concubine Yin De has been favored by the emperor in the palace. More and more people came to the manor of the state to give him gifts. Officials, but it was the first time he saw someone who gave out so much gift money without meeting him.

Speaking of which, this Yin Guozhang was originally just a street rogue in Wugong County. He was abandoned since he was a child.When he was in his twenties, he was so poor that he had no money, so he could only live by stealing chickens and dogs.He deserved this Yin Ahshu's luck. Once he went to Chang'an to steal a few thousand copper coins. On the way back to Wugong, he ran into a woman lying on the side of the road.When others saw such a person who didn't know whether he was dead or alive, they all walked around to avoid him, but he walked up.It turned out that the thief's eyes were different from those of ordinary people. From a long distance, Yin Ashu saw a bracelet on the woman's wrist, which seemed to be worth some money. Roll it down for money.Unexpectedly, as soon as the hand was placed on it, the wrist actually moved. It turned out that the woman was not dead, but just fainted from hunger.This Yin Ashu had never touched a woman before, and seeing that she was quite attractive, he changed his mind and carried her home.

Not long after, the woman recovered from her illness.She regarded Yin Ashu as her savior, and told him all about herself.This woman was originally a prostitute in Chang'an City. Because of her age, she could no longer attract many customers. She also contracted a serious illness and was pregnant with a wild child who could not find a creditor. Kicked out of the brothel and almost died on the road.The woman was grateful for Yin Ashu's life-saving grace, so she deliberately followed him. Yin Ashu picked a cheap one, so naturally she would not refuse.A few months later, the woman gave birth to a girl.At first, Yin Ashu suspected that this daughter was a seed brought by him, but later on, no matter how hard he worked, the woman could not bear children. After seeing several doctors, Yin Ashu realized that it was because he was destined to have no descendants, so he treated that woman The child is getting better.

I don't think this girl is an ordinary person. She has grown into a flower when she was in her teens, and she learned singing and dancing from her mother who was a prostitute. Lovely angel.One day when there was a soldier in the city, this girl gathered in the crowd to watch the excitement, and the general in charge of the army caught a glimpse of her, and the general's eyes fell on her and couldn't move away.Within a few days, someone came to Yin Ashu to propose a marriage, which almost scared Yin Ashu to death. It turned out that the proposer was Wei Weishaoqing of the Sui Dynasty, a senior official in charge of the court's imperial guards.Although he is thirty years older than his daughter, and he is going to be a junior, but if he can become a general, then what is there to say, Yin Ashu fully agreed.What was even more unexpected was that a few years later, the general became the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty with a yellow robe.

Empresses in the Tang Dynasty ruled in the main harem, under which there were four concubines, namely, noble concubine, concubine Shu, concubine De, and concubine Xian, as well as Zhaoyi, Zhaorong, Zhaoyuan, Xiuyi, Xiurong, Xiuyuan, Chongyi, Chongrong, and Chongyuan Nine concubines, twenty-seven Jieyu, beauties, and talents, and eighty-one Baolin, Yunu, and Cainv were for the emperor to enjoy.Li Yuan's original spouse, Dou's, was the daughter of Dou Yi, the governor of Dingzhou in the Sui Dynasty. She died of illness at the age of forty-five and never lived to enjoy the honor of being a queen.Li Yuan was grateful for the great service that the Dou clan had done to the rise of the Li family. Without a new queen, the favored Concubine De ranked first among the concubines in the harem and became the actual mistress of the palace.And her adoptive father, Yin Ashu, also really experienced the joy of a chicken and a dog ascending to heaven, from a market rogue to a current king.
