Chapter 1325 Han Qinhu's Recognition
Chapter 1325 Han Qinhu's Recognition
"Brother, please."
Li Jing toasted with a heroic spirit.
Wang Yan smiled and nodded, picked up the ceramic bowl and drank the whole bowl.
Li Jing looked at Wang Yan's actions and couldn't help but widen his eyes: "Brother, you have a good alcohol tolerance."
"I used to drink it one sip at a time, but after I surrendered to King Jin, I started drinking like this."
"Why?"
"poverty."
Wang Yan answered simply and directly, "This bowl of wine costs a lot of money. In the past, I could only afford to buy one bowl every three or five days, so I would savor it carefully. Now, I don't have to worry about a little money, and I just want to drink it up."
Hearing this, Li Jing simply picked up the bowl and drank the rest of the wine.
"It's really refreshing." Li Jing, despite being drunk, agreed with Wang Yan's words.
Wang Yanxiao asked, "Pharmacist, you are also a noble son of the Li family, why are you carrying a sword outside alone?"
"I am traveling around the world to see what the world is like. I heard that the army had returned victoriously, so I rushed to Daxing. To be honest, brother, Han Qinhu, who destroyed the State of Chen, is my uncle."
"I see. On the second day after I surrendered to the King of Jin, His Highness gave me a grand banquet and I had the honor of meeting Lord Han."
"Brother, you are a great martial artist, and you have been working for the King of Jin. You will surely be granted a title of nobility one day."
"I don't want to be a marquis." Wang Yan smiled and shook his head, "I just want the world to be peaceful and for us common people to have enough food."
"Brother, you have great ambitions. I admire you."
"How can a vulgar person talk about great ambitions? He just dares not forget his roots and cannot forget the feeling of being cold and hungry. Let's not talk about these things. Today, you and I hit it off right away. We have similar interests. Come on, come on, let's drink."
We just met for the first time, so it was impossible to talk in depth, but we also talked about the current situation in general. After all, it is difficult for men not to talk about these things when they are together.
Even the peasants in the village, who could not read a single word, would talk about the bad deeds of the landlords and what they heard about the things in the city.
When it comes to Wang Yan and Li Jing, it's even more normal. Li Jing is a descendant of the Longxi Li family, a Guanlong aristocratic group that has existed for hundreds of years, and an absolute top political family. Wang Yan is also a military advisor to the Jin Palace, a proper official. They talked about the ministers of the dynasty, the Turks, Goguryeo, and discussed the campaign to destroy Chen.
After drinking so much, Wang Yan was quite satisfied. Li Jing was indeed not giving it away for nothing. Even though he was only eighteen years old, he had accumulated a lot of experience and had a unique perspective to look at various things.
Li Jing was even more satisfied with Wang Yan. He really didn't realize that Wang Yan was just a soldier. He was definitely a man of real talent and knowledge, and would definitely make a name for himself in the future.
So the two of them exchanged their contact addresses, agreed to keep in touch frequently, and then parted ways.
"My husband thinks highly of him?"
Xiao Mei asked this while strolling on the street with Wang Yan and watching Li Jing's figure disappear.
"What do you think?"
"As expected of a son of an aristocratic family, he has a good upbringing and a profound family background. He is not arrogant and does not look down on my husband's humble origins. But he is still not as good as my husband. He speaks in a compliant manner and never oversteps his authority. He is an obedient citizen. This is why he is inferior to me."
Xiao Mei herself has a rebellious spirit and is willing to do rebellious things. In his evaluation, he naturally looks more favorably on people with a rebellious spirit.
This is also the reason why she is currently following Wang Yan wholeheartedly. In fact, it is not that she has no chance to get away from Wang Yan. After all, she has already arrived at the Prince of Jin's Mansion, and she is so beautiful, so it is no problem to sell Wang Yan.
But she still insisted a little.
But at the same time, she is still an opportunist and an absolute egoist. It seems that in the original drama, she invested in Li Mi to leave a way out for herself...
Once Wang Yan shows signs of decline, given their current relationship, Xiao Mei will run away without hesitation and sell out Wang Yan completely.
But Wang Yan doesn't care about these.
He smiled and said, "Don't say these things anymore. Be careful what you say and do, ma'am. There is no such thing as absolute safety. Just don't say anything and just do it, and you'll be safe."
"Yu Wenzhi is a disaster after all. He will definitely cause trouble for us." Xiao Mei's thoughts were very jumpy.
Wang Yan smiled and said, "He caused trouble for us, and we will not let him go. Only then will Yang Guang feel relieved."
"This is the art of the emperor, my husband. If I didn't know that you were born in the countryside, I really wouldn't believe it."
"Didn't I tell you that? I'm lucky enough to know a few words and read a few books. There's no such thing as imperial tactics. It's just checks and balances. Even the village heads know that."
Wang Yan waved his hand and changed the subject, "We still have plenty of time, let's go to the dental clinic and ask about the market."
It didn't take much time to eat and drink, and there was still a long time before the market closed and the curfew was imposed, so the two of them strolled leisurely to the pawnshop to get some information and check out the prices of houses and shops.
After all, it is the largest capital city, and houses and shops are very popular, and the prices are not cheap. Of course, for the rich woman Xiao Mei, it is nothing. The family assets she has saved are enough to support three generations of the landlord family without a prodigal son. She is so rich.
However, Wang Yan did not buy it directly, but just got to know it first. He felt that according to the good character Yang Guang showed, after these few days of busy work, he would give him a large house with servants. After all, he, Wang, was an unproven but reliable peerless warrior...
So for the next few days, Wang Yan did nothing but wander around the city with Xiao Mei.
In the past, Xiao Mei might not have had this much physical strength, after all, she had lived a life of luxury. On the way from Jiankang to Daxing, she often walked, and she learned physical exercises from Wang Yan, and she practiced very vigorously every day, which helped her to keep fit. She was able to walk around with Wang Yan, and she looked much more cheerful, not looking like a villain as before, and she regained some of her girlish heart.
Xiao Mei said that this was the happiest day of her life, whether it was day or night, she was happy...
Just during these few days, Li Jing finally met Han Qinhu.
Han Qinhu has been unhappy recently because he competed with He Ruobi for merit and was promoted to the rank of General, reaching the pinnacle of military power, but was deprived of his reward. He was reported and found to have allowed his men to rape Chen Gong, so his merits and demerits offset each other, and the battle was fought in vain.
But Old Han was still magnanimous. Although he was unhappy, he did not lose his temper with his nephew. He was still very happy to meet Li Jing, tested his military strategy, and was satisfied with Li Jing's progress.
"Pharmacist, you are already eighteen years old. It is time for you to enter the government. Do you have any plans?"
"No, I want to travel outside for a few years and see what the world is like."
"Don't become a knight-errant, son of an aristocratic family."
"Nephew knows." Li Jing nodded in response and asked, "Uncle, do you know Wang Yan, Prince Yan?"
Han Qinhu was stunned for a moment, then he reacted: "He is the military advisor of the Prince of Jin's Mansion, right? Do you know him?"
"We ran into each other in the West Market a few days ago. We hit it off right away and drank together. He said that he met his uncle once in Jiankang, and he was at the last table."
"We all know him. Those of us who accompanied the King of Jin to Jiankang all know him. He is a fierce general."
Han Qinhu expressed his approval of Wang Yan and talked about Wang Yan's achievements in battle. He killed a team of elite soldiers alone, and stealing water and food was basically robbery. He rushed in and knocked everyone unconscious. He challenged six generals in the main hall of Chen Palace. He was awesome. Then he revealed gossip to Li Jing: "This kid is a romantic. With his ability, escaping from Chen Palace is not a problem. But he found Concubine Xiao, and you have heard of her reputation. For Concubine Xiao, this kid went directly to find His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin. At that time, the Prince of Jin was also looking for Concubine Xiao..."
Only then did Li Jing realize that the beautiful woman who had been following Wang Yan and had not spoken much before was the famous Concubine Xiao.
He smiled and said, "In that case, Your Highness Prince Jin is quite open-minded."
"No matter how beautiful a woman is, she is not as important as a brave general like Wang Yan. Your Highness Prince Jin knows this clearly."
"My uncle thinks highly of Wang Yan."
"He dares to fight, is brave and resourceful, and values friendship and loyalty. How can he not be great?" Han Qinhu laughed. "Let me tell you another story. When we were in Chen Palace, Wang Yan took Concubine Xiao to visit the garden... Yu Wenzhi was sick for more than half a month before he recovered. When I saw him again, his face still had red marks. Hahaha, it's so refreshing."
"What did His Royal Highness Prince Jin say? No punishment?"
"If not, how could he be a military advisor? He was supposed to give reports to Yu Wenzhi. Do you think Wang Yan is really a reckless man?"
Han Qinhu explained the relationship to Li Jing, and pointed out the key points of Yang Guang's balancing his subordinates and suppressing the aristocratic families. "So Wang Yan is brave and resourceful, and he will become a great man in the future. You can get to know him more. He is close to the King of Jin, and he will be valued in the future, which will be of great help to you."
"The Yuwen family..."
"Don't worry. If Wang Yan dares to attack Yu Wenhuaji directly, the Yuwen family will suffer in the future. Wang Yan knows his strengths. Using his own strengths to attack his weaknesses is the way to win. And with the side of the King of Jin, the Yuwen family will suffer unless they don't provoke Wang Yan."
"Nephew understands." Li Jing nodded, and then started chatting with Han Qinhu about family matters and talked about his family's situation.
……
Han Qinhu now had some free time, and Yang Guang also fought for his post-war benefits. He finally settled down and thought of the peerless general he had at home.
"What has Wang Yan been doing these days?"
Hearing his question, the subordinates following him reported all of Wang Yan's actions.
From the first day he went out to fight with someone and met Li Jing, he said that Wang Yan took Xiao Mei shopping every day, eating and drinking all the way, and he was very happy. He also said that Wang Yan went to the pawnshop, asked about houses and shops, and was interested in doing business. He also said that Wang Yan got up early every day to run and practice dancing, and went out for a ride every day to practice horse lance. He also said that Wang Yan read books every day, and Xiao Mei read to Wang Yan and talked about reason.
After hearing this, Yang Guang didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "They are really living in harmony, more comfortable than me as a prince. Make arrangements and prepare a table of good food and wine in the evening, and wait for him to come back and ask him to come over."
"Yes, Your Highness."
After Wang Yan and Xiao Mei came back talking and laughing, they were brought before Yang Guang.
"Zi Yan, was this name chosen by your wife?"
"No, I chose it myself. Some time ago, I met the son of the Longxi Li family. He came up to tell me his name, and I chose it myself."
"Oh? Where did it come from?"
"The Master said so."
"Uh...hahaha..." Yang Guang laughed out loud, "You are so unorthodox. If that old scholar knew, he would probably scold you. Please take a seat. You have been under my command for some time. I was busy with official duties before and neglected you. Today, we should have a good talk."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Wang Yan sat down as he was told, and watched the waiter pour the wine. He then raised his glass and toasted Yang Guang with three glasses of wine.
Yang Guang drank a glass three times, but nodded repeatedly, approving Wang Yan's actions.
"Eat some food. I heard you have a good appetite. Eat more."
Wang Yan was not polite. When Yang Guang asked him to eat, he picked up his chopsticks and started eating.
"Your Highness, I have had enough of the hard life and I am afraid of being hungry. So if there is food, I will eat more. I am afraid that I will not have food for the next meal, so I can hold on for a little longer."
Seeing Wang Yan grabbing a chicken and chewing it, Yang Guang laughed: "As long as you follow me steadily, I will ensure that you will have a good life."
"Of course. Your Highness treats me well, and I will repay you with my death."
"I want you to do things, not to die. If you stay useful, you can do more things."
Yang Guang took a sip himself, and seeing Wang Yan hurriedly trying to drink with him, he smiled and waved his hand, then asked, "What are your plans?"
"Your Highness has the final say."
"I will definitely make the decision. I am asking you what you want to do."
Wang Yan said, "Recently, I have only been thinking about finding a house, opening a shop to do business, and buying a hundred acres of land outside the city. In the future, I will have a harvest every year, so that I will not live off my savings. In the long run, I will naturally serve His Highness and make him His Majesty, so that I can become a great meritorious official and enjoy a lifetime of wealth and honor."
"You are quite honest."
"Your Highness, I was born a soldier, how could I know so many twists and turns? I am the most honest one, I always say what I think, and what I say is what I mean."
"Yu Wenzhi was not beaten in vain, you have to give him an explanation. You should still be a consultant in the palace this year, and I will take a look at where to arrange you next year. You don't need to buy a house, a shop, or a field, I will give them to you. Just study hard and make money steadily. Don't be impatient, you will be useful one day."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Wang Yan knew that Yang Guang was not lying. He valued Yu Wenzhi, so he must have taken Yu Wenzhi's face into consideration. On the other hand, now that the post-war benefits have been distributed, Yang Guang has no place to arrange Wang Yan.
The best place for Wang Yan to go is definitely the army. But Wang Yan can't be a high-ranking official, and there is no need for a small official, so he must be a general.
However, Yang Guang did not disappoint Wang Yan's trust in the end. He was a generous and good boss. He gave Wang Yan houses, shops, and land. Yang Guang is now truly wise and powerful, and Wang Yan has certified him as an absolute authority.
Yang Guang drank and ate slowly. Seeing Wang Yan eating heartily, he couldn't help but pick up his chopsticks faster. It really whetted his appetite.
He asked, "Earlier in the Chen Palace, you said you wanted to discredit the Crown Prince. Now that you have returned to Daxing for several days, have you paid any attention?"
"Your Highness, the current emperor and the queen are practicing frugality. I have heard that the crown prince is extravagant, and this can be used to your advantage. The crown prince is frugal, and you can boast about his extravagance to others in the market, which will be a victory for you. This is a long-term matter, and Your Highness must not be impatient."
"You, a killer, are teaching me?" Yang Guang stared, feeling amused. "How could I not know about such a big thing?"
"Honest advice may be unpleasant to the ears, but it is beneficial to one's conduct. Your Highness, I want to warn you and you must not let your guard down."
Yang Guang was so angry that he laughed: "Eat yours."
"It's Your Highness."
So Wang Yan ate and drank a lot, and talked to Yang Guang about his days as a city gate guard...
I would like to thank the good brothers who give rewards, vote for monthly tickets, recommend tickets, and read books silently for their strong support!
