In the autumn of the second year of Yanping.

The third year after the death of the first emperor, exactly twenty-seven years later. After the Son of Heaven's mourning ended, the ladies of the eunuchs in Beijing dared to wear more colorful clothes and walked around each other.

In the Zhenyuan Marquis's Mansion, behind an elegant ink screen, two middle-aged noblewomen are gossiping.

“…… Your family is okay, it's okay for the boy to delay for a few years, but it has been a bitter three girls, and it has been delayed until now. ”

Mrs. Guan's best friend, who is also a family member of her children's family, said, "This is also a matter of no way." Even the Son of Heaven hasn't stepped into the harem for three years, how dare we, as courtiers, exceed the rules? But now that I can finally keep the clouds open and see the moon, I will let her get married and have a child as soon as possible, and I will live slowly in the future, and I will not worry. ”

Mrs. Guan nodded, "That's true, but the man's family can't be in a few rooms, right?" You have to send a few stable people to the three girls. How do their young girls know what's at stake? In case it makes people bigger, it will be a lifetime of trouble. Besides, if you want a child as soon as you pass, I'm afraid that you will not be able to manage things for two or three years. ”

Mrs. Yin sighed, "I also have a heart, such as talking to her at home today." Only you know, my Sanya looks powerful on the surface, and her heart is softer than tofu, but now she is married far away, and she has no mother's family to support me when she is wronged, so she has to let me accompany the room, and the old Du family has also followed. ”

"Well, that's a solid guy. Hey, she is married to Yongding, I remember that whose child is also an official there? ”

Mrs. Yin pursed her lips and smiled, "It's the Ouyang family." ”

Yes! Mrs. Guan remembered. "It's the eldest brother of the horse, he returned to Beijing to report on his work at the end of his term last year, and he also came to my house once. That's a sensible child, much better than his father. His daughter-in-law seems to belong to the Fu family, and there are some faces over there. ”

She glanced at Mrs. Yin, who was smiling and silent, and said angrily, "In that case, why didn't you say it earlier?" It's such a big circle. ”

Mrs. Yin smiled, "It's also a matter for you to ask for help, and it's for juniors." How can I open my mouth without being stunned? ”

Mrs. Guan feigned anger. "Okay, now you beg me, think about how to thank me first."

Mrs. Yin pointed to the plain white screen in front of her and said, "I'll change it for you when I turn around." How is it? So light. It's time for a change. ”

Mrs. Guan stopped making trouble. smiled, "It's just going to be changed, it's not just a full day." Will you clean up for my mother-in-law first? Okay, I've written this down, you prepare the screen when you go back, and I'll send it to Ouyang's house for you. The third child of her family seems to have said that she is also kissing, and these things can be used. ”

Mrs. Yin hurriedly asked, "Then do you want to give some gifts to the second family?" ”

Mrs. Guan waved her hand, "Don't do anything else, you only need to prepare a few things for the children." I remember that the daughter-in-law of the Fu family seemed to be pregnant last year, and she didn't even return to Kyoto, and now I'm afraid that she will give birth, so I'll ask first, and then see what you want to give. ”

Mrs. Yin was overjoyed, thanked her again and again, and started gossiping, "You and your mother-in-law used to fight like black-eyed chickens, but they have gotten better and better over the years." I went to say hello to the old lady, and I didn't forget to send your favorite grapes. ”

Mrs. Guan sighed, "There are only three of us old things left in the house, we just want to fight, what can we fight?" ”

Mrs. Yin is not an outsider, and she is not so scruples when she speaks, "The first emperor has been gone for so many years, and your family has not thought of some methods?" ”

That year, after Princess Jiashan kept her filial piety for the emperor for three months, she got up and returned the old lady's coffin. In the spring of the following year, he returned to the capital, and then went to the southwest to settle for the domain.

The emperor gave grace and asked Guan Yaozu and a group of people to follow General Pingxi's old ministry to send their husband and wife out of Beijing, and Pei Yaoqing also followed, and then said that he was sick and stayed there.

The Guan family naturally knows the deep meaning of this. It's just that they want to stay away from Jingshi, so that people can slowly forget about their affairs, and they can not delay each other in the future.

For this reason, the Guan family has been planning for several years. The marriage contract given by the first emperor cannot be changed, and concubines are not allowed, but in the generation of the old man of the Guan family, there was once an old brother who disappeared when he was young, and he failed to marry a relative, let alone keep a son.

Can you carry two shrines on your shoulders and marry a daughter-in-law over there? If you go back and have a child, and then come here for another one, won't everything be solved?

But Guan Yaozu was a little unconcerned, he has been in the military camp in the past few years, and he has become more and more sensible, but he is also more and more like a stuffy gourd, and he has completely lost the stubborn habits of the past.

Others don't understand, at first glance, they only think that his father Guan Tianxiao looked like back then, but only the family members themselves understand.

Including Guan Tianxiao himself, he would rather have those unobtrusive sons in the past, and he is more worry-free than the little old man now.

Seeing that Mrs. Guan had a headache when she mentioned it, Mrs. Yin persuaded her for a long time. But I also remembered one thing and said that it would relieve her boredom.

"If you want to say that your family Yaozu will be like this, it is understandable, but the boy of the Gongsun family is very weird."

"How?"

"You don't know yet, do you? is that Gongsun Hong, now that the official has been promoted, his temper has also grown. He and the daughter of the Shen family, the one your ancestor Yaozu used to order, have not been born for a few years, and now they are clamoring to divorce their wives. ”

Mrs. Guan was taken aback, "How can this be?" is not happy, just give birth to a concubine and raise it in front of you, how can you divorce your wife like this? ”

"That's not what you say? I don't know what Miss Shen thinks, but she actually blames herself for all the fault. When people wanted to leave, she agreed to be divorced. was so angry that the wife of the Shen family also went to Beijing in person, and it seemed that she was really going to divide it. ”

Mrs. Guan sighed for a while, and when she saw Mrs. Yin away, she was still very sad.

The daughter of the Shen family, in the final analysis, is still the family that delayed others first, and now that she has encountered such a thing, she doesn't know how it will end in the future.

Suddenly, the maid raised the door curtain, "Madam, the young master is back!" ”

Mrs. Guan hurriedly cheered up and put on a smiling face.

Guan Yaozu strode in, holding a helmet in one hand and a sword in the other, carrying the swarthy roughness that had been beaten out in the barracks. is no longer the same as the son-in-law of the past.

Seeing that her mother's eyes were slightly red, she couldn't help but be stunned, "Mother, why are you crying?" ”

"Oh, nothing. It was your Aunt Yin who came, and when she said that the third girl was going to marry far away, she was reluctant to let her shed a few tears. It just so happens that your Aunt Yin still has something to ask you. The three girls are going to marry Yongding, which is where the second eldest of the Ouyang family is an official, right? I also invited his mother to sit in the leisure garden, and please ask for it. Why are you back today? ”

Guan Yaozu was relieved when he heard this. "That's just right. Ouyang Kang just sent a letter, I just sent it to Poyuan, and there is a letter from Ouyang's family, I was about to go. Mother, when do you want to see you? I'll help you when I go to Ouyang's house. ”

Mrs. Guan said angrily. "How can it be said that the wind is the rain? At the very least, you have to be serious about the next post. ”

Guan Yaozu said. "If it's someone else's house, what else is there to be polite about the Ouyang family? I'm going to talk about it, maybe someone will be visiting tomorrow. ”

"That's not going to happen. So be it. You go wash up and change your clothes, and I'll write a post and bring it to you. I also asked people when they were free, and I asked her to go to the leisure garden to sit. ”

That's whatever. Guan Yaozu turned around and left in a hurry, and went to busy with him.

Looking at her son's back, Mrs. Guan sighed in her heart, she didn't dare to tell Shen Min about it.

Although many years have passed, Mrs. Guan knows that her son always has a sense of regret in her heart. If Shen Min has been doing well all these years, maybe he will feel better in his heart, but if he knows that she is not doing well, maybe his son will feel even more uncomfortable.

It didn't take long, Guan Yaozu changed into civilian clothes, rode a horse and went to Quy Nhon Fang.

Today's Ouyang family is much quieter than before, firstly, the two eldest sons are not there, and the family is full of women and children, which is not easy to show. Second, after Ouyang Jin was made stupid, he was one less, and I don't know how much he saved. Tan simply closed the door, the constraints were extremely strict, but he gradually developed a decent family style.

Although Guan Yaozu is not too familiar with her, he will always walk around during the New Year's holidays to see if there is anything here, and he will help if he can. It was because the family at the door knew him well, and when he came, he was busy bringing people in.

Entering the hall, the Tan family had already prepared tea and waited.

After a few words, Guan Yaozu handed over the letter from Ouyang Kang to her, and said, "The letter goes fast, and there are still things they sent to Beijing behind, and they will get it in two days." When I have time, I will bring it to you. ”

Tan Shi hurriedly said, "Don't bother, we just need to send the things to the broken garden, and we can go over and get it ourselves." It's time to check out Mr. and Potato Boy. ”

Nianfu and his wife left Beijing, but Su Cheng's leg was disabled and he couldn't walk, and Du Chuan's winery couldn't let go. They discussed again and again, and left the potato boy to the husband, and only brought the young son to the domain.

Guan Yaozu didn't say much, and asked how the family was doing, so he mentioned the matter of his mother's request.

Unexpectedly, Tan said, "This is just right." I received a letter from Zhuang'er before, his daughter-in-law had given birth to a girl in June, saying that the nurse I was looking for over there was not very useful, and I was looking for someone, and I was worried about how to send it over. In this way, I have to ask the Yin family to help me give it a ride. Go back and tell Ling Zun that you don't have to break the bank, if you have it, it doesn't matter where it is, just ask our two families to meet. ”

When Guan Yaozu talked about it at home, he was informal, but he was still very polite when he went out, "Such a small host, and there are no cheap outsiders, so let me be a host and go to Xianyuan to sit together." My aunt doesn't have to excuse herself, she should just let my mother come out to relax. ”

Tan smiled, "Your mother is really blessed to have such a considerate and sensible son as you." I see that the sky is idle, and when your mother is free, just let someone say it. ”

While they were gossiping, the brothers Ouyang Lian and Ouyang Qing came back.

Due to several eventful times in the later period of the first emperor, even the scientific expedition was delayed. It wasn't until the beginning of this year that the new emperor ordered that the exam would be held in the fall. The two brothers are both literate and martial, and they have both signed up, and they are now attending classes at Tai College and actively preparing for the exam.

Guan Yaozu got up and said goodbye, "I know that you are the busiest now, so I won't bother much." I'm not good at making a fuss, but if you want to assault the bow and horse and shoot the horse, remember to come to me. ”

Ouyang Lian listened to it, but Ouyang Qing suddenly made a bitter face.

Guan Yaozu was feeling strange, Ouyang Lian couldn't help but smile and said, "Brother Guan, don't you know, these times, Brother Qing was beaten by several brothers-in-law of his father-in-law's family, and now he is happy to go to class with me." ”

Guan Yaozu suddenly remembered, isn't this Ouyang Qing's father-in-law the squire of the military department, Lord Yu? His family doesn't talk about sons, and even his daughters are dancing with embroidery knives. Look at this little chubby dun pulled up the strip and lost a lot of weight, I am afraid that it also has the credit of my father-in-law's family.

Haha said a few words, he didn't delay people to rest, so he took his leave first.

When he got out and saw that it was still early, Guan Yaozu turned around to Xianyuan by the way. Although there are no male guests there, you can always make an appointment for your mother, and by the way, pack a few more things to eat, and honor the three elders of the family.

When the big shopkeeper Cui Rong heard that he was coming, he personally came out to greet him, left a place for him, and packed up a few things he wanted. ”

Guan Yaozu said, "It's okay, just send it to that kid, and I'll go back by myself." ”

Cui Rong just gave up.

Guan Yaozu rode a horse alone, accompanied by the setting sun, staggering home, and his mood was also leisurely.

It's just that when I passed by a restaurant, I suddenly heard a familiar man's voice whispering, "What are you doing with that kind of chicken that doesn't lay eggs?" There is also a face to make trouble, I really don't know how it was raised! ”

Guan Gongzi's gaze was unconsciously drawn over, and he saw a familiar face.

Gongsun Hong.

It's still the same look, no, even more so than before. From the open window, you can even see that he is still holding a young and beautiful little lady in his arms.

Although Guan Gongzi has not done such a thing before, seeing others doing this, especially Gongsun Hong, still makes him not calm.

And Gongsun Hong obviously saw him, and he didn't have any scruples, but waved at him upstairs, "Do you want to come in and have a drink?" ”

Guan Yaozu jumped up from the horse, turned over and jumped directly through the window into the second floor.

"Gongsun Hong, what are you doing?"

"You're pretty good." Gongsun Hong raised his eyebrows and looked at him with a smile, and lowered his head and kissed the beautiful girl on the face without any scruples, "What do you say I'm doing?" ”

Guan Yaozu's face changed, and he raised his fist, "Don't blame me for not reminding you, go back!" ”

Gongsun Hong sighed and smiled even more, "This is interesting, how old are you, why do you lock up my idle business?" ”

His eyes were cold, "Asking you to come up for a drink is to give you face, don't toast and don't eat and drink." ”

"I'll let you eat a fart!"

Guan Gongzi's temper has come up, and he is the same gentleman as before. Directly stretched out his hand and lifted the entire table of wine.

(Ahh Seeing the messages from the relatives, I said that I was very moved after watching the fan, and I was so happy to say. This also has to strive to move everyone, but it can be divided into upper and lower episodes, I don't know if the effect will be weakened, huh, the handicapped party is incompetent...... (To be continued......)
