Chapter 1 The first step of the emperor's face

Next Chapter

In the spring of the fourth year of Jiayuan, Emperor Guangzong died, and the new emperor ascended the throne, and the whole country was filial piety.

It's March again, and the grass grows and the warbler flies. On the official road of Lin'an in the imperial capital, a huge team of chariots and horses was slowly driving. Led by four pairs of horses, uniformly dressed, all wearing hats and carrying swords, guarding in front. It was followed by two carriages - the one in front was simple, atmospheric, and darker, and was ridden by the male host, Ren Jiulong, and the eldest son, Ren Daizhong; The car in the back is a little more graceful and cute, and the color is also more beautiful, which is ridden by the hostess Zhang and the eldest daughter Ren Hongyan, the second daughter Ren Yuyan, the righteous daughter Jiang Yuntan and the second son Ren Daixing. Then there was a pile of furniture and treasure, not to fit several wagons, followed by a bunch of dart guards.

Ren Jiulong was originally a native of Songjiang, and his ancestors were sent to southern Fujian as officials at the beginning of the founding of the previous dynasty, and later they extended down in southern Fujian and became a local wealthy family. In the generation of Ren Jiulong's father and grandfather, although he is no longer able to be an official, he is also the largest landlord in the local area, not only occupying the vast farmland, but also half of the mountain field and a large sea field, so he doesn't have to worry about food and clothing at all. The ancestor of the Ren family has only one wife, but he has sixteen sons, not to mention daughters. Ren Jiulong's father, Ren Yu, is the eldest son. But Ren Yu was crazy, he was brave and fighting when he was young, and when he was twenty years old, he killed someone, so he fled to the frontier to join the army, and the family business was divided among his brothers, and his family became the second child. When Ren Yu came back from his military exploits, he didn't get a sense of belonging at all, so he had to return to Songjiang alone and marry Lian Mei, the daughter of Lian Mei, the first local gentry, as his wife, so that he could gain a firm foothold in Songjiang and get a small position and live a mixed life. However, the Lian family is Lian Mei's only daughter, and Lian Mei often refuses to continue the strings, so Lian's delicate nature forced Ren Yu to leave his hometown and go to the mountains and rivers. Lian's hard work finally raised a son and a daughter, but the son followed his father, and he was also unconscious, and he couldn't get along in Songjiang at all, so he simply took his mother and sister back to southern Fujian and stayed in Ren's house. The Ren family can't, so donate officials to him; Later, Ren Jiulong met Zhang Zicong, the traveling secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Zhang Zicong admired Ren Jiulong very much, so he took his eldest daughter Xu Zhi, and was entrusted by Ren Jiulong, and asked the retired old woman in the palace to teach his sister Ren Jiuyan rules and poems; Ren Jiulong also hooked up with those bullies in southern Fujian and made deals using his official position to make money. It's easy for her sister Ren Jiuyan to be angry, but she was really elected to the palace, and the Ren family began to dare not underestimate Ren Jiulong. So Ren Jiulong and eight other people were collectively known as the "Nine Tigers of Southern Fujian". Ren Jiulong relied on his connections and sat step by step to the position of the assassin of southern Fujian. At the beginning of last year, Zhaoyi Ren Jiuyan gave birth to Emperor Ji Xinyuan and Jin Feng Shufei, Ren Jiulong also added officials to the knighthood, sealed the salt and iron festival envoys, and Zhang's sealed the four products. Ren Jiulong took his wife and children to live in Beijing. The old mother Lian stayed behind to take care of the old father because of the sudden return of his father Ren Yu and refused to go with him. Ren Jiulong had to settle himself down first, and then think of coaxing his parents to enter Beijing.

Ren Jiulong has always been quite complacent, and he always feels that he is a person who has accumulated a lot of money and is loved by God. Therefore, the eldest son who is valued also likes to put on a show. The eldest son, Ren Daizhong, is nineteen years old this year, more than eight feet long, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a high nose and a square mouth, and a graceful white dress; The Tao is loyal and honest, but in fact, it is easy to break just now.

Ren Daizhong sat quietly beside Ren Jiulong, his eyebrows were low, and Ren Jiulong couldn't find fault with him if he loved to pick thorns. With nothing to do, and after a tiring journey, Ren Jiulong fell asleep. Ren Daizhong breathed a sigh of relief - he could finally relax a little.

Ren Daizhong wished that he wouldn't grow up, so that he could play with his mother and younger siblings, and he didn't have to run to his father to suffer.

In the carriage behind, Zhang held his sleeping four-year-old daughter Yuyan, with a round face with a loving brilliance. This little daughter was born to her at a very old age, and she was the most lovely and beautiful she was born, and her mouth was sweet, unlike her first three: one was to learn plum blossoms, and would rather destroy them than say a good word; One is sharp-tongued and likes to pick and choose ugly words; One is a gourd with no mouth, and he can't make a fart for a long time.

The righteous daughter Jiang Yuntan said in a low voice: "Madam, give it to the slave." ”

This Jiang Yuntan is the widow of the former housekeeper Jiang Xian and his own married girl Qiongxia, because Jiang Xian was shipwrecked when Ren Jiulong went to sea to do business, and he desperately saved the lord and died, so Yuntan was accepted as a righteous daughter. said that he would not have to worry about food and clothing like Miss, but both the Zhang family and Ren Jiulong knew that this was just an extra bargaining chip for marriage in the future and a brick for the future.

"No need," Zhang replied lightly, "You can rest." ”

Yun Tan didn't talk much, and sat obediently.

Zhang glanced at Yun Tan.

The seventeen-year-old face is born with willow eyebrows and melon seed face, white skin and beautiful appearance, and the description is moderate. It's just that the temperament is always not up to the feeling of everyone else.

Zhang glanced at his thirteen-year-old eldest daughter again.

It's not that she boasts, in addition to her daughter's flying personality and domineering mouth, she is easy to hate, just looking at her appearance, she is first-class outstanding, talented and has a good character. When he was in southern Fujian, Ren Jiulong liked to dress up Hongyan as a little boy and take him out for entertainment, so Hongyan was a little more courageous and a little less verbose than Miss Boudoir. Later, he became more popular, his appearance was outstanding, and his body couldn't be hidden, so he locked it at home. Because Dai Zhong is a person who wants to gain fame and fame, he really doesn't care about money, so Jiulong later went out with Dai Xing.

This generation of Xing and Dai Zhong, I don't know who they look like, and their personalities can't find a similar one in the He family, which also gives the Zhang family a headache to death. has been pressing the marriage of these three children before, just to enter Beijing to choose a better one. Now Dai Zhong is about to enter the age of a weak crown, and marriage is also the first to bear the brunt.

Today's housekeeper Rong Bo entered Beijing early, and sold a four-entry house in Jingdong; At the same time, the Ren family also owns a two-story house in Jingxi, but they are only guarded by people. The shops in Zhuangzi City on the outskirts are also ready, just waiting for the owner's acceptance.

The carriage slowly entered the imperial capital, and the prosperous streets separated the style of the Ren family, and passers-by stood on tiptoe to look at the new nobles in Beijing, and admired the pride of this family.

There are two teenagers in the crowd, one is about ten ** years old, born strong and masculine, full of martial arts style, with a golden silk hairband on his head, which is more and more flattering to his equipment. He carried a sword in his hand, and he also had to protect the short and obscene boy next to him.

The man couldn't help laughing: "I just went to the martial arts field to practice martial arts, and when I came out, I was blocked, and it seemed that I had to go back in a stinky sweat." ”

The short boy smiled: "If Brother Ming wants to take a bath, what's the difficulty?" Just go to Lanhuaxuan and find a girl to open a flower room, and you can wash it fragrantly! ”

The Ming boy chirped: "Don't use indecent words to arrange me, I don't want to deal with Fengyue women!" ”

The short boy raised an eyebrow.

This Ming Fang Gu Bacheng is still angry with his mother by a prostitute, so he has always been alone.

Ming Fanggu saw that the street had been occupied for a long time, and was displeased: "Whose team is this?" Why is it so annoying?! ”

"You don't know?" The short boy was surprised, "Who else?" Today's concubine's mother's family! ”

"It turned out to be the Ren family," Ming Fanggu sneered, "No wonder it's such a big show!" ”

The dwarf pouted.

Ming Fanggu is not as sleek as Minglang in his father's provincial servants.

Ming Fanggu suddenly smiled and said, "Ruzhuo, I heard that you were very familiar with the Ren family when you were in southern Fujian?" What kind of person is he? ”

Liu Rugui waved her hand: "I know the eldest young master of the Ren family, Ren Daizhong!" It is clearly the eldest lady of the Ren family, Ren Hongyan. ”

Ming Fanggu was extremely surprised, and his two eyes widened at the copper bell: "Why is this Ren family so rude?" actually made the woman show her head. ”

Liu Rugui shrugged her shoulders and didn't think so: "It's not strange that all merchants in southern Fujian are like this. When this young lady went out to socialize, she pretended to be a boy and wore a hat. I've played with her since I was a child, but I've seen her face, it's really unparalleled in the world. If there is anyone who can compare with her today, it must be Emperor Xinyu. ”

Ming Fanggu couldn't believe it: "Where is it so beautiful?" ”

As he spoke, his eyes glanced over the carriage.

Inside the carriage, Hongyan pouted and played with his hair boredly.

Zhang knew that his daughter was itching in his heart again, so he smiled and said, "You just have to take a look, and after a few days of steady dìng, then ask your brother to quietly take you to play." Just don't let your dad know. ”

Dai Xing was speechless: "Mother, isn't it okay to be used to my sister like this?" ”

Hongyan listened to her mother's words and was about to lift the curtains, but she heard Dai Xing's words, and she shook her face: "Every time I ask you to play, you don't go, it turns out that I am waiting to talk about me here." I can see that I can beg God and Buddha, let you and I change, I will be a man and you will be a daughter, this is in line with your heart. ”

Dai Xing squinted.

He just told the truth, and my sister was anxious again.

Zhang Shi pointed at Hongyan with his finger, and squeezed his eyebrows at Dai Xing: "Your sister has a good temperament, and she will not be bullied when she goes to her in-law's house in the future." ”

Dai Xing answered: "Don't let her in-laws be lifted." ”

Zhang laughed, but as soon as his heart turned, he felt that Hongyan was like a person, a person who took care of her husband in her hometown. The same sharp teeth, the same protrusion. But fortunately, Hongyan is kinder than her and can be a person.

Hongyan stuck out her tongue at her mother and brother, and carefully opened the curtains to see the outside world through the screen.

The imperial capital is really prosperous.

Hongyan didn't know that as soon as she revealed her face, she was stunned by a young man who happened to send her eyes, and she was obsessed with that young man for almost half her life. Hongyan smiled elegantly, then lowered the curtain, turned his head and smiled at his mother: "It's really comparable to Wen Ling." ”

Ming Fanggu watched the carriage go away, and an unprecedented fire inexplicably burst out of his lower abdomen, rushing straight to the atrium, shouting that he was about to break out of his throat!

Ren, red, face.

He kind of remembered the name.

Ming Fanggu didn't expect that when Hongyan opened the curtain, it wasn't just him who saw it. In the teahouse with "Lin Ji" hanging behind him, there was a blue-shirted young man, holding a paper fan imitating Wang Xizhi's calligraphy in his left hand, and gently patting the porch with his right hand, the corners of his vermilion mouth were lightly hooked, and he was about to collapse all the women around him.

Very good, Miss Ren. It's time for you to ask for the account you owe me.

Next to the lord of the Lin family, there was a young man in a fancy costume who was holding a paper fan painted with beautiful rivers and mountains and unfolding it to cover his mouth.

Lin Fengwei bowed slightly: "Shizi." ”

The thin and fair-skinned prince of Yi shook his head softly and gracefully. Due to his poor health, his voice also seemed a little feminine: "Don't be polite to me." ”

Feng Wei smiled lightly and straightened up.

This Song Can, the son of King Yi, is not as weak as he seems on the surface, otherwise how could he have a son from a little-known concubine and become the son of King Yi? Feng Wei didn't count how much effort he had contributed to him, but his friendship with Song Can was really good. It's just that this kind of goodness, he can't guarantee how long it will last.

Song Can's eyelids were half-drooping, like a Buddha statue looking at all living beings: "The prince has another ear boost." ”

Feng Wei raised his eyebrows: "Do you want to attack the Ren family?" ”

"Don't dare," Song Can took the fan and smiled weirdly, like a paper doll about to be burned, "After all, the stunning Miss Ren has always been the person on the tip of your heart, even if I want to move the Ren family, I have to give you a face." ”

Feng Wei glanced at him: "Come less." Say, what are you going to do this time? ”

Song Can looked at him: "I'm thirsty." ”

Feng Wei sighed, resigned himself to the table, and made him tea.

Song Can unfolded the fan again, covered his mouth, came to the side of the small table and sat down, his eyes smiling crookedly: "Ren Jiulong not only relies on his sister to be a concubine, but also relies on him to be the sixth in the 'Nine Tigers' in southern Fujian." I want you to compile a list and details of the 'Nine Tigers' to me. ”

Feng Wei frowned, and immediately refused: "If you don't give it, you are not allowed to touch the Ren family." Otherwise, you won't be able to use any more money in Ganzhou. ”

Song Can laughed: "It's really stingy." ”

Song Can turned his head to look at the street, and the corners of his mouth hidden behind the fan were coldly hooked.

When the time comes, I'll see if you give it or not.

At the beginning of the red face, when the wind is surging. The gears of fate have just begun.
