In the evening, a rather large team drove on the loess avenue in the western suburbs of Chang'an, Xijing.

The front and rear of the team are led by slaves with sticks, there are more than a dozen carts, some curtains are covered, and some are stacked with many cages of different sizes, slaves and maids go with the car, the whole team is nearly 1,000 people, it looks like a noble family moved.

This is the family of King Yong, who had just finished the funeral and rushed from Qianling near Xianyang to Chang'an, Xijing. The family members and belongings were in the procession, and the speed of the march was not too fast, and it was only in the evening that they arrived at a large grange on the outskirts of Juxian County.

At the intersection of the Grange Connecting Avenue, there was already a group of people waiting here, seeing the team slowly approaching, a young man led several slaves to ride forward, and turned over and dismounted, and said to Li Shouli, the king of Yong, and Li Guangshun, the king of Guanghan, who also rode out of the team: "At the end of the Yiting, enter Duguqiong, and follow my father's order to set up a long mansion to welcome the king and others back to Beijing." ”

"Thank you for the high righteousness of the prince, there is Lao Dugulang to welcome you away."

After a few years of mourning, Li Shouli seems to be a little more mature, no longer as frizzy as in his early years, and he is also quite generous in dealing with people: "Running in the wild, the concubine and others are tired, first settle down, and then discuss friendship." ”

Dugu Qiong avoided the left side of the road, beckoned his family to lead the team to the Grange, and looked at it with some curiosity: "It seems that I haven't seen the king of Hedong." ”

"There are still trivial things to finish, and San Lang does not walk with the brigade."

Li Guangshun opened his mouth to explain, then apologized, and personally stepped forward to guide his mother-in-law Fang's car into the village.

Because there were too many followers, it took half an hour before the team was completely settled in the grange.

In the back hall of the grange, Concubine Fang's spirit was also a little tired, and she waved her hand to drive away the slaves and maids who were still setting up utensils: "It's just a short stay for a day, don't set up too much, and add trouble to the master." ”

Li Shouli smiled and said: "Wronged mother, let's wait until tomorrow to arrive at our own fields, and we can recuperate for a few days before entering the capital." ”

"It's hard to have a car to travel."

The concubine waved her hand and smiled, looked at her sons and said with relief: "Now that the sons and daughters are strong, they can work back and forth, and they don't have to work hard." In previous years, it was really hard to go out of Bazhou, especially when you were a young and stubborn kid, who didn't know how to be sorrowful, and people couldn't wait to abandon it on the side of the road. Who would have thought that he would still be able to live up to his son's strength now? ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall couldn't help laughing, and Zheng Jin couldn't help but say: "In the old years, even if you only stop for a short time on the left side of the road, the king has to get out of the car noisily, looking for branches and leaves in the grass to disturb people, and Xiaolang is even more frightened and crying......"

Thinking about the story, these elders also have a lot of emotion. Although he is also tired now, his mentality is completely different, he has done enough to keep the funeral ceremony and remember the former king, even if there is any sadness to come, he only needs to press it in his heart, and he does not need to be ashamed.

"Alas, I'm still worried about San Lang, I don't know where he is now, has he gone against the road? The grass is cold, and it's really reassuring. ”

Fang sighed again.

When Li Shouli heard this, he snorted: "Niangniang is too partial to San Lang, and she doesn't want to blame him for big and small things, so she makes him more and more bold." I used to live on the side of the mausoleum and dare not return for a few days, and I don't know what I'm doing, I don't know what I'm doing, I want to remember, I can't be tamed, such as how obedient I am now, so that he will take me with him when he goes in and out in the future, so that Niangniang is more at ease! ”

Fang's knew what kind of temperament this son had, and after hearing this, he glanced at him: "You can have half of San Lang's cautious measure, and I can be worthy of the first king!" What does San Lang do when he goes in and out, nothing more than take care of his relatives and apprentices, and let you go out? I don't know where to go. ”

As she spoke, she waved her hand to her two sons: "Don't accompany the old woman here and neglect the master." Before and after the funeral, I rely on his family to take care of him, if I can become a family member when I return to Beijing this time, I will be more intimate in the future, and don't let people laugh at my family's slow etiquette. ”

Li Shouli was a little shy after hearing this: "I'm still young, and I don't know what the character of his wife is, can I be filial to my eldest brother and not as good as my brother......

"San Lang's words are not bad, you are really good at talking nonsense! This is the Old Testament affair between the two families, and you can do it repeatedly? I don't know what the character of other people's ladies is, you first check yourself and don't become enemies! ”

Li Guangshun got up and grabbed Li Shouli, and said to his mother-in-law: "Niangniang, let's eat and rest first, and Erlang and I will thank the master." ”

The two kings walked out, Duguqiong still stood respectfully, and stepped forward to apologize: "The field is simple, the concubine is neglected, and I dare not go in front to accuse and disturb, and I also ask the two kings to apologize." ”

Li Shouli laughed when he heard this: "If the mother has no eyes and ears, you kid don't have to make a feint!" In the old Qianling residence, I have never treated Wulang lightly, the two relatives agreed, it seems that I will inevitably go to your house to perform the ceremony, thinking of the past friendship, you have to give me an honest explanation, which of the sisters in your family can be called Jiashu? I'm not picking the beautiful girls of your mansion, but if you meet someone who is not ladylike, let's play back and forth in the future, you are afraid that you will not have the face to meet me, right? ”

When Lonely Qiong heard this, she had no flattery on her face, and gave Li Shouli a fist with her backhand: "I know what the true state of the king is, I have to suppress my conscience when I go home to visit my sisters, and I will help you pick the good and the bad?" The uncle's proposal in the old year originally meant the king of Hedong, but he thought that the king would ascend first, and now it is too late to regret ......it."

Young people frolicked to the front hall, their own wine and food, competing in the middle of the night, in the first half Li Shouli gritted his teeth and decided to be Dugu Qiong's brother-in-law, and in the second half he had hugged each other and agreed to go to Xijing and marry a brother-in-law in Pingkangfang.

The friendship between the two families grew because in the past two years, they lived in Qianling and were not far away, and the Dugu family had already remembered the favor of the king of Hedong, and the relatives also intended to get married, so they reached the level of talking about marriage. It's just that because they are all in mourning, they have not made an appointment until now.

Early the next morning, the team continued on the road, and Dugu Qiong also followed, and at the same time, the children of other families in Xijing were sent by their parents to meet each other and return to Xijing together.

In the evening, Li Tong, who had traveled around the small half of the pass, finally overtook him and met his family on Chang'an Chengnan Avenue. At this time, in the evening, the street drums also sounded in Chang'an City, and the family was not in a hurry to enter the city, so they lived in a garden in Duling in the south of the city.

Tang Lingshu was dressed in men's clothes, beat a horse and walked around the manor for a week, and after returning, he was a little embarrassed, pouting and saying: "Such a cramped home, Aya still has to write to the history of the difficulty, I don't know how much smaller than the beginning of the township industry in previous years, it is really embarrassing!" ”

Li Tong smiled when he heard this, raised his hand to hold the girl's waist and helped her off the horse: "If the prince knows that you are sneering behind your back, I don't know how sad it will be." The land in the south of the city can no longer talk about gold and silver, and it is not an exaggeration to say that every inch of land is powerful. This garden industry is still the old property of Wei Youxiang, and it happened that Xu Yuangu was transferred to Wannian County, so he had the opportunity to buy in the city, otherwise although there are heavy goods, it is difficult to divide an inch of land. ”

The old name of Guanzhong is Tianfu, known as the emperor's house, and it is densely populated between the three auxiliaries. In the later period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Guan Longhao and the right people all rose up to join the torrent of the general trend of the world, and even assisted the imperial industry of the two dynasties, so it was naturally indispensable to share the dividends.

Duling land next to Chang'an, there are originally two large families with a long heritage, the so-called south of the city Weidu, go to the sky ruler five. In addition, many powerful and wealthy families are greedy for this geographical advantage and create other businesses in the south of the city. In the entire Jingzhao area, there are almost everywhere narrow towns with few land and many people.

The manor in front of us covers an area of more than five hectares, and it is also ranked in the middle of the middle of the garden villa industry in the south of the city. If it weren't for the fact that the original owner Wei was taken over as an official because of the loss of power, others would not want to get involved.

But even so, there are not a few people who are eyeing this industry, and Li Tong is also in a hurry to start before Ge Fuyuan is not transferred out of Xijing, but even if there is such convenience, I heard Xu Jian, the county lieutenant of Wannian County, who handled it specifically, said that his father-in-law Tang Xiuzhong also took out tens of millions of real money, which is more than several times higher than the land plots of the same area and geography around Luoyang, the god capital.

It can be seen that even though Luoyang, the capital of the gods, has been operating repeatedly since the Second Sage period, and now it has become the absolute political center of the Wu Zhou Dynasty, the strong Chang'an complex of the people of the time is still undiminished.

Li Tong can also deduce that Tang Xiuzhong has exhausted his money in order to prepare this rich dowry for his daughter, but Tang Lingshu also complained because the area was too small, and the girl was outgoing, nothing more than that.

Anyway, this mouthful of soft rice is sweet and soft, Li Tong eats it very deliciously, as for whether his father-in-law will continue to be in the future, he doesn't care if he has a son and no money to marry a daughter-in-law.

It is very convenient to have a pastoral industry in the suburbs of Chang'an. Moreover, Duling is close to Xijing, and it can be reached in more than an hour on foot, and it is even more convenient to get a fast horse.

This manor is basically still mainly a village residence, with many houses, although there are hundreds of family members and slaves, plus dozens of guests and servants who come to greet them, they can also accommodate it.

After entering the village, the three of them first settled down with their relatives, and then went out to receive guests, Li Shouli walked in the court with his arms crossed, looked left and right, and then sighed: "Ashamed, ashamed, in the year of marriage, I have to live in my brother's house." Dugu Golang, my requirements are not high, if you can really talk about family affairs, your family is also a national family, always give me this kind of industry in the suburbs, and in the future, I can also settle down nearby. ”

After hearing this, Dugu Qiong smiled: "I hope that the king can bite this appeal and not let go, you might as well say you, my family has another garden on the bank of the Qujiang River, and then the king can ask for another place, and I can also avoid seeing my sister jump into the stove pit and suffer!" ”

In other words, don't even think about it, even if my daughter doesn't marry, she won't be so cheap you kid!

After Li Shouli heard this, he was ashamed and stomped his feet: "It's really embarrassing to be stingy!" When my children get married in a certain year, see how I ......"

"Shut up!"

Li Tong gave him a punch back, don't brag, otherwise according to your ability to create people, you won't be able to marry your children if you dismantle it!
