Chapter 1981: The Gentleman
"Blessings? Hehe, what's more, Fang Erlang didn't like it in the first place, it was Xiao Yu who looked for Fang Xiang with a shy face and forced it over, Fang Xiang is a gentleman, he can't wipe his face, so he has to reluctantly accept the ......"
At the gate of the Song State Mansion, all the children of the Xiao family were waiting here, staring at the groom official.
The people on both sides whispered and discussed, and this word inevitably reached the ears of these arrogant children of the family......
The deep people of the city government are indifferent, this matter is that the Xiao family is in a hurry to marry the Fang family, and the gossip will inevitably spread out, but as long as the marriage is reached and the interests of the family are protected, those rumors that will dissipate in an instant will be free for him to go.
But there are some arrogant people, but it is inevitable to have ideas......
Among the children of the family, Fang Jun is an alternative.
The children of the family are all from the hairpin family, and there are naturally some unscrupulous people, but most of them are gentle and elegant, knowledgeable and courteous. They are graceful and luxurious in white clothes, have a rich family background, have a cultural heritage, brocade clothes and jade with Zhong Ming Ding food, they are born to be people, learn the scriptures, you can become an official.
What is a Saga family?
In short, it is a "rite".
In ancient times, "etiquette" was the foundation of society, and the maintenance of order was also. "Rites" need to be learned through classics, so those who do not understand "rites" are the heads of the Qianqian and the untouchables; The heirloom of "etiquette" is a family of scholars and a family.
"Flourish in poetry, stand in ceremony, and become happy", the reason why the top and bottom are orderly, and the reason why the noble and the low are distinguished.
"Li" is a symbol of social positivity, which is as warm as jade, peaceful and peaceful, respectful of the old and loving the young...... All acts of praise are within the scope of "etiquette", which is the most beautiful virtue in the world.
However, what is Fang Jun?
This man is a great mallet!
Gentle as jade, neutral and peaceful, respect for the old and love for the young...... Which of these good qualities has anything to do with him?
But it is the other among the children of such a family, and it seems that the standard of "etiquette" has been completely abandoned, but it has risen step by step, whether it is a meritorious nobleman or a family valve, almost no one in the second generation can stand out!
The emperor was even more pampered and partial, and he believed in it.
As for Fang Jun's exploits? No one is in the eye.
In their opinion, those workshops and businesses that they brought out to dedicate to the emperor are simply the ministers of the courtiers! The gentleman is righteous, the villain is profitable, "the gentleman is righteous and the quality is the quality, and the etiquette is the act", all day long and copper smell, that is a villain!
Lead the sailors across the seven seas and sweep the four razors...... Is that a feat?
If you really destroy the country and seize the city, it can be regarded as expanding the territory, but it is just relying on the large number of ships, backed by the prestige of the Tang Dynasty, which country has been destroyed, and which city has been included in the territory of the Tang Dynasty? Oh, don't say anything about Da Nang, Nambatin and the like, not to mention the barbarians, it's all leased......
What kind of feats is this?
If you change me, I can do it too!
is such a mallet, and now the head of the family and the clan elders have to wash the only Nanliang bloodline in the family and send it to the bed of that house for nothing, and let it be humiliated......
This is unbearable!
……
Xiao Rui stood at the door, dressed in a brocade robe, although he was in the middle of his age, he was still handsome and plump like jade.
He is the eldest son of Xiao Yu, and the concubine of Princess Xiangcheng, the eldest daughter of His Majesty Li Er, and the official worships the Tai Servant Qing, who is a high-ranking official from the third grade, and the Xiao family is a family, so his official position is not too shabby to Shangfang Jun...... You can't let your father stand in front of the door to greet you, can you?
It doesn't make sense......
Xiao Rui's temperament is quite calm, and he used to have a lot of complaints about Fang Jun, but since his father Xiao Yu decided to marry, he has changed his previous perception and strongly agrees with this matter.
The Xiao family has a strong history and family history, and is a well-known scholar family in the south of the Yangtze River. However, the embarrassing thing is that since Xiao Yu, although the Xiao family has produced many talents, there are very few people who directly hold real power, most of them are Liubu Langzhong, the director and other positions, which have neither real power nor influence.
If you can pull Fang Jun, who has a great future, to the Xiao family's side, the benefits are really not too much.
Moreover, Xiao Rui is well aware of the current policies of the imperial court, although no one has ever shouted to suppress the family gate valve, but the introduction of every policy has really weakened the foundation of the family gate valve.
And Fang Jun is the pioneer of the emperor's policy of weakening the family's gate valves......
This is the knife in the emperor's hand, look at whoever is not pleasing to the eye, and the emperor stands behind him, who dares not to stutter?
The family has the pride of the family, but the family cannot put its pride on the opposite side of the emperor's will, which is the choice of the Xiao family.
In fact, the Xiao family abandoned the previous camp and stood behind the emperor by marrying Fang Jun, and the benefits obtained were far beyond the previous decades of operation.
Just every time a huge fleet of ships carrying countless goods to sea was escorted by the sailors, and after arriving in Da Nang, Nambatsu and other places, the Xiao family had already made a lot of money.
Not to mention that several Xiao clan elders are about to enter Chang'an Academy to become a teacher......
However, the emotions of several Xiao family children beside him made Xiao Rui aware of it immediately.
He frowned, glanced at a few people coldly, stared at a man with a healthy body, and said in a deep voice: "Today is the day of great joy for the Xiao family, from now on, Fang Jun is the son-in-law of my Xiao family, no matter what you have with him in the past, you must put it all down." ”
He was afraid that these guys who didn't know the height of the sky would do something out of the ordinary, how could Fang Jun be easy to provoke? Fortunately, these children of the Xiao family have all been in Chang'an for many years, and they know that Fang Jun is a mallet who does not tolerate sand in his eyes, even if he is dissatisfied in his heart, he will inevitably restrain himself a little bit, and he will not dare to go too far.
But this toned man made him a little worried......
A cadre of the Xiao clan hurriedly said: "Don't worry, eldest brother, we can save it." ”
Xiao Rui is older, and he has developed a sense of official authority in a high position, and he is the heir of the head of the family, and these brothers respect him very much.
Only the toned man raised his eyebrows disapprovingly, and said with a hippie smile: "Uncle, what are you talking about?" The younger brother stays in the Western Regions all the year round, and he has no chance to return to Chang'an when he is idle. ”
When Xiao Rui heard this, he felt that his tone was wrong, and he warned in words: "Don't come nonsense!" That Fang Jun has a violent temperament, he can't afford to lose anything, and he has His Majesty's protection, and he conflicts with him, so that you can't eat and walk around, even if your father is afraid that he can't protect you! ”
The bodybuilder man became more and more rebellious, and sneered: "Uncle, don't grow the ambition of others and destroy your own prestige!" Wu Xiao Siye entered the Western Regions with his aunt and grandmother since he was a child, and led the Turkic tribes to attach to it in the ninth year of Zhenguan, and was enshrined by His Majesty as the governor of the Shan Yu Capital Protector Mansion for his merits. Hmph, it's just a term of gentleness that relies on family history and holy dependents, what is there to fear? ”
Xiao Rui had a big headache......
This Xiao Siye is the grandson of the sixth uncle Xiao Xun, and his nephew, but he is two years older than him, inheriting the handsome appearance of the Xiao family. When he was a child, he lived in Luoyang with his aunt and grandmother Empress Xiao, because of his intelligence and handsomeness, he was very favored by Emperor Yang of Sui, and then the Great Sui perished, and he followed Empress Xiao into the Turks.
In the fourth year of Zhenguan, Li Jing destroyed the Turks and welcomed back Empress Xiao.
Because of the recommendation of his father Xiao Yu, Xiao Siye was able to stay in the Western Regions, lead the surrendered Turks, Zhenguan for nine years, led the Turks to attach, and was enshrined by the emperor in the history of the capital to protect the Turks.
It is probably the vastness of the grassland desert, which has developed Xiao Siye's unruly personality, which is very different from Xiao's family style of poetry and etiquette heirloom and gentle as jade. When he returned to Beijing this time, his father planned to let him return to Chang'an to replace Li Xiaoyou's deprived official position.
Because of his outstanding achievements in managing the Turks in the Western Regions and his rich experience in communicating with foreign tribes, the emperor had already agreed to give an edict in the near future......
Just as he was about to warn him again, he suddenly heard a burst of gongs and drums shaking the sky, and turned his head to look, but it was the Fang family's welcoming team that had already arrived in front of the fang.
Xiao Rui glared at Xiao Siye and admonished: "Don't make trouble, otherwise the family law will not be forgiven!" ”
After that, he tidied up his clothes and stood on the steps in front of the door, waiting for the greeting procession.
Xiao Siye didn't dare to feed you Xiao Rui's words in person, but he secretly pursed his lips, glanced at the brothers and uncles around him, and sneered.
In the blink of an eye, the welcoming team had already arrived in front of the Song State Mansion.
Fang Jun rode a jujube red horse, dressed in auspicious clothes, turned over and dismounted when he got closer, and saluted Xiao Rui and the others on the steps: "Courteous!" ”
Xiao Rui smiled and said, "Polite!" I've been waiting for Erlang for a long time, come on, come on, and enter quickly. ”
Although the Xiao family is the top gate valve in the Tang Dynasty, but in the end, it is a concubine, and many cumbersome agendas should be streamlined, Fang Jun raised his feet and stepped up the steps with a smile on his face......
Suddenly, a figure flashed in front of him, and a person stood out from the back row, and said with a smile: "The daughter of my Xiao family, how can it be so easy to marry?" I have to pass my level first. ”
Fang Jun stopped when he heard this, looked up, and the smile on his face faded.
What does the Xiao family mean by this?
The moment Xiao Rui stood up for Xiao Siye, his heart jumped "bang", and he couldn't wait to strangle this bastard to death! When he saw Fang Jun's expression again, he suddenly had two big heads, and cold sweat came out.
