It was past noon, and the sun was shining brightly in the sky. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info mighty people and horses and vehicles slowly drove from the easternmost end of Linqing Street, and the people on both sides of the street were full of voices and struggling. The people gathered together, all wanting to come and witness the demeanor of the princes and generals. came out with the king, except for the queen and princess and a few princesses who were deeply loved by the king, the others were all princes and nobles.

They sat on high horses' heads, with sumptuous saddles, and their garments were no less impressive, not inferior to those of the princes at the front of the procession. These sons and sons who were born in the families of famous ministers and noble generals have beautiful appearances and extraordinary appearances, including the sons of the Gongsun family of the Hou Mansion, Gongsun Rong and Gongsun Han.

In the past, the prefect of Linqing arranged for wealthy families, merchants, or officials in the city to receive princes and nobles on this day, while the king brought people from the palace to be guests in the prefect's house alone. This year, the prefect was set to greet the people of the Hou Mansion at the Tang family.

Tang Yuan picked up the guests for the first time, and the joy was beyond words, and while leading Hou Ye and his party to the lobby, he said: "Tang learned that he was going to receive Hou Ye this year, and he was so happy that he couldn't sleep and eat, and he was both happy and worried. I am glad that the arrival of Hou Ye has added glory to the cold house, and Tang feels honored. I'm worried that we're not entertaining well and wronged the Hou Ye and the sons. ”

Hou Ye laughed and said: "Listening to what Tang Yuanwai said, I don't dare to come again next time, thinking that one of our visits will make you have trouble sleeping for a few days, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to sleep and eat." ”

Everyone laughed, and Tang Yuanwai also smiled heartily: "Master Hou is really contemptible." ”

Hou Ye pointed to the two handsome men behind him and said, "These are the two dogs of Ben Hou, Rong'er and Han'er, come and salute." ”

The two young men in the back obeyed their father's words, and they both stepped forward, bent down, and said in unison, "Uncle Tang." ”

Tang Yuanwai hurriedly returned the salute and praised: "The two sons are radiant and extraordinary, and they do have the noble demeanor of the Hou Mansion!" ”

"I've won awards, Tang Yuanwai." Hou Ye waved his hand.

As they continued to walk forward, Gongsun Han looked at the people around him, and asked his brother in a low voice: "Isn't there an heir in this person's foreign mansion, except for Master Tang and a few attendants, he can't even see a single figure until now." ”

Gongsun Rong glanced at him, lowered his voice and said, "How can you speak, we are just here to be a guest, and you still want the whole family to come to greet us?" Maybe someone else is doing something? ”

"Shouldn't it? We're ......."

"But what?" Gongsun Rong looked back at him. Gongsun Han was silent this time, nodded and pouted, "Okay, okay, I can't talk about you." ”

Gongsun Rong turned his head, his eyes seemed to be admiring the scenery in the garden intentionally or unintentionally, but he still said to his younger brother in a suppressed voice: "I told you a long time ago that you usually don't mix with those people, those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to ink are black." You won't be able to see anything for a short time, but as time goes by, you will smell the same as theirs. When one day you are no different from them, I will no longer recognize you as a brother. ”

"Brother, what are you talking about?" Gongsun Han was unconvinced and said, "Yes, you are high, you are clean, then why did my father ...... three times and twice?"

Gongsun Rong turned his head to stare at him, his eyebrows sharp. Gongsun Han had no choice but to shut up again.

Hou Ye heard a sound behind him, turned his head, and looked at them with a displeased expression, "What are you two talking about?" ”

The two brothers lowered their heads slightly, shook their heads and said, "It's nothing." ”

The courtyard of the Tang Mansion is neat and clean, there are many flowers and plants, and there is a verdant and green bamboo forest in the back garden, with winding paths leading to secluded places, and red fish swimming at the bottom of the pool. On both sides of the promenade, there are peonies and hibiscus flowers, exuding a rich fragrance, a pleasing scene, which makes Gongsun Rong happy, and forgets the unhappiness just now, and lingers to enjoy the scenery in the garden.

But Gongsun Han didn't pay attention to it at all, he walked behind peacefully, his eyes didn't look around, he just stared at the ground in front of him, and his face was calm.

"I see that in this large and small courtyard, all kinds of flowers compete with each other, and the fragrance is full of fragrance, which adds a lot of leisure and elegance to the house. I knew that Tang Yuanwai loved flowers and plants so much, so I ordered someone to bring two pots of exotic flowers and plants from the Western Regions in my house and give them to Yuanwai. Hou Ye walked to the corner of the corridor, and also found that the spring in this garden was as promised, so he smiled and said to Tang Yuanwai.

"Haha, Master Hou's words really flattered Tang. However, this is just some flowers and plants, how can it be compared with Hou Ye's flowers of the Western Regions. ”

"It seems that Uncle Tang is really a lover of flowers?" Gongsun Rong was interested.

Tang Yuanwai turned his head, smiled at Gongsun Rong, and said: "Gongzi doesn't know, a certain rough man in Tang only knows how to do business, and he has never understood these elegant people. The flowers and plants in this garden were all planted by the little girl.

"Oh?" Hou Ye raised his eyebrows and squinted at Tang Yuanwai, "So, there is a young lady in the Yuanwai Mansion?" ”

"I don't dare to say it, the little girl is stubborn, reckless and willful, and she doesn't have the appearance of a deep boudoir at all, so I have a lot of heart with her mother."

Hou Ye just smiled slightly, put his hands behind his back, and walked slowly.

"Does she have a brother?" Gongsun Rong asked.

"Tang is over half a hundred years old, and he only has one child and one child, and there are no other children."

Gongsun Han sighed: "Hey, then we are going to be bored today." I thought that if there was a son in my uncle's house, my brother and I would still be able to play with multiple partners, and it would definitely add a lot of fun today. ”

"In this way, Tang is really sorry."

"By the way, Uncle Tang," Gongsun Rong stopped, faced Tang Yuanwai, and asked, "I have a reluctant request, I wonder if Uncle can agree?" ”

The two men in front of them immediately stopped and turned around. Gongsun Hou's face was a little unhappy, and he didn't know what his son was going to do, so he said angrily in a muffled voice: "Rong'er! ”

"Uh...... Hou Ye was angry. Tang Yuanwai hurriedly said, and then asked Gongsun Rong, "I don't know what Gongzi Rong wants, even if he says it, if the old man can do it, he must do it, and it is Tang's blessing to serve the Hou Ye and Gongzi." ”

Hou Ye closed his lips tightly, stared at Gongsun Rong with a pale face, and did not say a word.

Gongsun Han noticed that his father was already angry, so he hurriedly coughed twice at his brother and persuaded him: "Brother, we just came to Tang Mansion, let's talk about it later." Besides, why didn't you tell us about it beforehand, so that my father could be prepared? ”

Gongsun Rong still bowed slightly and lowered his head, saluting Tang Yuanwai, and the words of the other party's younger brother were unheard. After a while, he said slowly: "Uncle Tang, I heard that there will be a martial arts competition in Linqing City tomorrow, and I ask my uncle not to laugh shamefully, I have always admired and admired these chivalrous and brave people." So...... I don't know if my uncle can allow Rong'er to stay in the house for a day, and after tomorrow's conference, Rong'er will leave immediately. ”

"Tournament...... Congress? Tang Yuanwai frowned slightly, thinking about it, there is a martial arts competition in this capital? How could I not know anything about it? After pondering for a while, Tang Yuanwai suddenly understood, laughed for a while, and said to him: "Rong Gongzi is afraid that he has misunderstood, tomorrow is the day of the little girl's recruitment, according to the little girl's temperament, a martial arts competition is hereby held, all because the little girl loves martial arts, and she has to hold a martial arts competition to recruit relatives, otherwise she will refuse to marry!" Haha, it makes you laugh shamefully. ”

"Oh?" Gongsun Rong put down his hand, "So, tomorrow is the big day of the house?" ”

"Exactly."

Gongsun Hou also reacted, hurriedly changed his expression, bowed his hand to Tang Yuanwai, and congratulated: "Congratulations, congratulations, Yuanwai!" But why didn't the staff say it earlier, such a big happy event was hidden from us? ”

Tang Yuanwai shook his head and smiled: "If it wasn't for Gongzi to mention it, I would have forgotten it." Recently, there have been a lot of official affairs, and I have been busy, and today is the Hou Ye coming to the house, I am really going to be busy! I didn't mean to hide it from Master Hou. ”

"That'...... Can my uncle appreciate Rong'er's grand event of recruiting relatives by martial arts? Gongsun Rong raised his eyebrows and asked again.

"Hahaha, if the son can enjoy it, it will be an honor for Tang and the little girl!" Tang Yuanwai was in a good mood and immediately agreed, "Tonight, Gongzi will live at home, for a few days!" ”

Gongsun Rong was overjoyed and saluted again: "Thank you, uncle." ”

A few people laughed and talked about recruiting relatives, turned another corridor, and disappeared into the cluster of caryophyllus.
