When Wang Xiao stretched all the way to Liaobian, he experienced wind and frost. But he didn't know that someone was suing him for his black state.

On the second day of the first lunar month, Xi'an City.

In the evening, in a luxurious mansion by the Qujiang Pond, Hua Zhi walked into the house through the courtyard, and saw Tang Qianqian carrying a Zihao Lake pen in a daze.

"Ready to go?" Haneda asked.

Tang Qianqianliu frowned, raised the pen in her hand, and said, "Look, it's a little bald." ”

"The one that Wang Xiao gave you?"

"Hmm."

"Phew, I think he can't eat it as a meal." Hua Zhi said casually: "You are thinking about it here, people may still be happy in the capital, but he also has an outer room in the house next door, delicate and weak......"

"Really?" Tang Qianqian was slightly surprised at first, then suddenly smiled and asked, "Qian Duoduo?" ”

"Hey, you know?"

"She's not as pretty as I am."

"Remarkable." Hua Zhi snorted, and said, "Quick, change your clothes and go to the banquet." ”

As she spoke, Huazhi reached out and wanted to get the sandalwood comb on the table.

"Don't touch my things." Tang Qianqian patted her hand, stood up and said, "Let's go." ”

Hua Zhi glanced at her dusty men's clothes and rolled her eyes in disgust......

Today's feast is a family feast.

Tang Zhongyuan's fourth son, Tang Meng, was the east, and he invited several brothers and sisters.

The banquet site is not far away, and it is dependent on the water of Qujiang Pond, the purple cloud building in the hibiscus garden.

There are bursts of firecrackers along the way, which shows the joy of the New Year's Festival. Passing through the Tang City Wall and entering the Hibiscus Garden, Tang Qianqian rode his horse and glanced back at the corners and cornices of the roofs, and became more and more different from the capital.

But there's just something missing.

In her mind, Wang Xiao's informal personality should be more suitable for staying in this poetry and dance style Xi'an City than the capital.

But I don't know when I'll be able to catch him......

Purple Cloud Tower.

The building was built in the 14th year of the Tang Dynasty, when every Qujiang Conference, the Tang Ming Emperor must come to this building, enjoy the singing and dancing, and give a banquet to the ministers.

Now Tang Zhongyuanhu is based in Xi'an, but he is not this kind of 'happy with the people'. But when the New Year Festival is approaching, there should always be fireworks in the prosperous era, so he asked his fourth son Tang Meng to preside over the Lantern Festival.

Tang Meng received the envoy, but the first thing was to have a banquet in Ziyun Tower.

But in the name of a family banquet, he invited his eldest brother Tang Hui and third brother Tang Jie, saying that it was a fake public and a private business, but rather a 'fake private business', trying to ease the relationship between the brothers.

……

Tang Zhongyuan's second son died early, his fifth son died in battle, and the rest added Tang Qianqian, a righteous daughter, and three sons and three daughters.

At this time, Tang Qianqian arrived, and many people had already arrived at the banquet.

The six tables were set up separately, imitating the pattern of feasting and drinking in the Tang Dynasty, which seemed elegant, but in fact, it was handled by Tang Meng a little ...... Nondescript.

The eldest Tang Meng is holding a two or three-year-old little girl teasing, the fourth Tang Meng is making an appetizer, the sixth daughter Tang Ying and her husband Meng Zizhen are standing by the window looking at the scenery, and the two youngest girls Tang Lian and Tang Wei are whispering together.

Tang Ming was Chinese New Year's Eve three years old at the time, and now he has been canonized, and he can be regarded as the crown prince of this Darui Dynasty. But he seems quite easy-going, holding a chicken leg in his hand, and putting it in front of his little daughter's nose from time to time to smell it, but he doesn't give it to his daughter.

Tang Qianqian didn't expect Tang Qian to arrive so early, and bowed and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

"The seventh sister is here." Tang Ming raised his head and said, "It's all my own brother and sister, what is it?" Call Big Brother. ”

"Brother-in-law."

When Tang Ming heard this, he smiled a little helplessly, and said, "Everyone knows what is righteous. If you do this again, you will fall into the ears of others and only say that you are still jealous of your father, which is not good. ”

"Yes." Tang Qianqian bowed her head and responded.

"Nan'er, call Auntie." Tang Ming bowed his head and said to his daughter on his lap again.

"Goo."

Tang Qianqian smiled at the little girl.

The little doll is the most important creature to judge people by their appearance, and at this time, the girl named Nan'er looked at Tang Qianqian with bright eyes, obviously liking it very much.

Over there, Tang Qian had already put down the chicken legs, his face slowly became solemn, and he said to Tang Qianqian: "Now that we are different, you don't have to do these dangerous things like being a spy and going to the battlefield in the future." It's not worth it, it's not necessary. "Beans Book City

"Nothing to risk had." Tang Qianqian said: "When I went to the capital, the big guys were still wandering, and it was righteous to talk about it...... The fathers and brothers conquered Shaanxi is really dangerous. ”

Tang Wei waved his hand and said, "The third brother has the greatest credit for conquering Shaanxi." ”

No matter how he heard this, he meant it sincerely, but Tang Qianqian obviously didn't want to mix these things, so she just nodded when she heard this.

Tang Ming smiled again and asked her to go and greet the other brothers and sisters......

Tang Meng turned his head to look out of the door from time to time, and said secretly in his heart: "The third child is still not here?" ”

- Today's banquet, if the third child doesn't come, then he and the eldest brother's face will be lost.

After waiting for a while, Tang Meng was about to send someone to inquire again, when he heard a summons outside the door, and then, Tang Jie strode in.

Tang Meng was overjoyed, turned his head to look, but saw that Tang Jie was still carrying a handsome young man in luxurious clothes behind him.

This young man Tang Meng also knew that he was the son of Yuan Daoxue, the current Ministry of Industry of the Rui Dynasty, Yuan Yikai.

But after saying that it was a family banquet, the third child brought an outsider - Tang Meng's heart suddenly became unhappy.

Tang Jie is twenty-eight years old, with a resolute face, slender limbs, a tiger's back and a bee's waist, and a killing aura in every gesture. After coming in, he laughed loudly: "Some things have been delayed, the fourth brother is not strange." ”

Then he smiled at Tang Wei and said, "Big brother is here early?" You also have no shelves. ”

Tang Ming handed the little daughter in her arms to the wet nurse, asked her to take it back, got up and said with a smile: "New Year's Day, I have nothing to do, so I will come over early." ”

He glanced at Yuan Yikai and said rather casually: "Master Yuan is also here." ”

Yuan Yikai saluted and said, "I've seen His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Tang Ming nodded.

Everyone greeted each other, and each sat down cross-legged at his small table.

Tang Meng ordered someone to add a table of cases, and then served the food and started the banquet.

Tang Qianqian felt that it was quite funny that she was still eating around a big table at the royal family in the capital, but now when she returned to the rebel army, she had to eat cross-legged and split the table according to the ancient style...... It is said that it advocates ancient rites, but there are both men and women, and there is no distinction between priority and priority.

But for Tang Meng, fortunately, it is arranged like this today, otherwise the third child will bring an outsider, which will be even more unpleasant.

Tang Jie is his own character, and he doesn't even give Tang Meng a word. After he took two mouthfuls of food, he turned his head to look at Tang Qianqian and said, "Seventh sister hasn't come to see your third brother since she came back, I don't know the etiquette." ”

Tang Qianqian responded: "The third brother is a general of the expedition to the east, and he is busy in the school field every day, how can he have time to see me?" ”

"You might as well come to our army." Tang Jie said: "With your martial arts and wisdom, you have a lot to do, and let your father crown you as a king side by side in the future." ”

Tang Ming said with a somewhat reproachful tone: "Don't talk nonsense." To this day, do you still want to let Seventh Sister and a woman go to the battlefield? ”

The brothers have often had such a tone since they were children, and Tang Jie smiled and said, "The seventh sister's ambition is not inferior to that of a man, but you are stubborn eldest brother." ”

When they talk like this here, maybe the two of them don't feel anything, but they are different in the ears of Tang Meng and Yuan Yikai......

Over there, Tang Jie had to look at the flower branch behind Tang Qianqian at this time, and said, "Flower branch girl, you sit down and eat...... Come on, add another case. ”

Huazhi said: "I'm a girl." ”

Tang Jie laughed: "I'm still a thief." ”

Hua Zhi was not polite, sat down cross-legged, picked up a lamb chop and nibbled on it.

Tang Jie looked at her eating and seemed to be quite happy, and said with a smile: "Now it seems that they are all princes, princes, and generals, and they haven't all touched fish in the quagmire with you in the early years." ”

Huazhi raised his eyes, and he shouldn't be either.

Tang Jie wanted to provoke her, and said: "People say that the eighteenth change of the female university, but why are you still so ugly?" ”

Hua Zhi frowned, and scolded in a low voice: "Tang Laosan, you are still so annoying." ”

Tang Jie laughed, and then said to her again: "You go back and persuade the seventh sister to come to our army, and I will promote her as a deputy marshal." When spring begins, we will go east and take a great contribution to conquering Chujing. ”

Tang Qianqian herself was in the audience, he didn't say it directly, but said to Hua Zhi in a joking tone, this move seemed inadvertent, but it was a sense of proportion, leaving room for people......

Yuan Yikai, who was next to him, listened to this conversation, and his judgment of Tang Jie was one level higher in his heart.

Yuan Yikai is from a famous family, and his father Yuan Daoxue was an official of Chu Chaohu Guangcheng announced that the political envoy Si Zuo participated in politics, and he was a high-ranking official from the third grade. In the twelfth year of Yanguang, he was attacked by political enemies for reporting the Huguang corruption case, and he became angry.

Yuan Dao has been studying for five years, and his reputation has become more and more famous, and now he has just taken refuge in the Rui Dynasty and has obtained a Ministry of Industry Shangshu, which is far better than the ups and downs of his colleagues in the past.

He was the first Confucian to take the initiative to join the Rui Dynasty, even if it was a thousand dollars to buy horse bones, Tang Zhongyuan planned to commend him well, so he planned to marry his daughter Tang Lianxu to Yuan Daoxue's son Yuan Yikai.

Now Tang Zhongyuan is just thinking about this matter, because Yuan Yikai is the head of the Tang Jie army, so he also recruited Tang Jie to inquire about it today.

Tang Jie is a resolute character, since his father asked, he simply took Yuan Yikai to the banquet, intending to let Tang Lianxiang take a look......
