Chapter 111: The Scholars Who Cling to Each Other
Just when the four major wang clans were waiting for Bao Xin and the potters to come to the door, the head of the Ping family, Ping Zheng, got another shocking news.
Three days ago, Huai County was looted by the Bai Bo Army, I thought that in the short term, the Bai Bo Army thieves should not come to harass again, but who knew that this morning, Ping's house slaves brought back the rumors, saying that it was in the countryside east of Huai County, and someone vaguely saw the signs of the White Bo Bandits' secret activities.
This is a big deal! Three days ago, the Bai Bo army came to loot, which has caused huge losses to the Hei family's industries around Huai County, and now these thieves have come back? What do these bastards want to do? They are vicious dogs, and they can't survive!
At this juncture, Hanoi's wang clan can no longer rely on the official army.
It's really unreliable, and the family's industry in Hanoi really can't withstand the baptism of the White Wave thief.
But just taking the initiative to invite Wang Kuang, Bao Xin and others to send troops, it is inevitable that it will be too shameful, what is the glory of such a scholar?
So the head of the Ping family met with the Zheng family of Ji County, the Sima family of Wen County, the Li family of Yewang County and others...... In the end, the four major nobles of Hanoi discussed a tactful method.
Li Shao of Yewang County set up a banquet in the mansion of Huai County, and invited Situ Wang Yun, Emperor Fu Song of Yushi Zhong, Zhou Zhong of the Great Si Nong, Zhang Xi of Weiwei, Wang Kuang of Hanoi, Bao Xin, the Prime Minister of Jibei, and the pottery merchant of Xuzhou Gongzi as the leaders, and the other three heads of the family were invited to come to celebrate their 60th birthday.
In fact, Hanoi has just been sacked by the Bai Bo army, and it is really inappropriate to hold a birthday banquet at this time, after all, it is a problem for ordinary Baixin to eat when they are affected by the disaster, but Li Shao, as the head of the family, is holding a birthday banquet here? Don't you feel that you have a long life, and you want to lose two years of life?
The prominent people in Hanoi should really be self-critical and appropriately restrained.
However, for the potters, no matter what the purpose of the Hanoi wang clan is, their own purpose can be regarded as achieved...... Let the wang clan bow to their own side and seize the opportunity to negotiate.
………………
………………
On the day of the birthday banquet, the potter led Xu Chu and a team of tiger guards to the Li family's mansion in Huai County to pay tribute to Li Shao's birthday.
Li Mansion is located on a hillside with a high terrain in Huai County, next to which is a private forest belonging to his family, and there is a quiet mansion isolated from the world standing on the forest slope. The house is not big, but it is full of unique elegance, reflecting the style of a century-old family, which is far from being imitated by those nouveau riche who have only been awesome for twenty or thirty years.
Before coming to the Li mansion, there were already servants waiting at the door, the potter and Xu Chu both dismounted, and the servants respectfully led the potter and others to the mansion, from the house through a quiet boulevard, to the courtyard of a waterfront hall outside.
In the distance, I heard the pleasant sound of the harp coming from the hall by the water......
Since the fight came back, the potter listened to the battle on the battlefield and the sound of the Jin Ge war horse, and at this moment listened to the soothing Yaqu, the potter suddenly felt refreshed and relaxed.
That's pretty good...... Although I don't understand it, it's still nice to say.
Walking outside the hall and looking inside, the potter couldn't help but be surprised: "She can also play music?" ”
Except for the potter, all the other guests have arrived.
And in the hall, the piano is played by Diao Chan.
After arriving in Hanoi County, Wang Kuang, in order to show his sincerity and respect for the officials of the imperial court, arranged for Wang Yun and Huangfu Song to live in the Taishou Mansion.
Since there is a place to settle in the city, the potters will naturally not let Diao Chan and Xiao Ying'er continue to live in the barracks, so they will also live in the city with Wang Yun and others.
Diao Chan sat on the cushion in the hall on the table in front of him, and on the table in front of him was the guqin he brought out from Luoyang City, his thin fingers were gently plucking the strings, and a small pottery stove was placed next to the guqin, which was faintly emitting refreshing cigarettes.
The old men sitting on both sides, one by one, were elegant, shaking their heads and listening to the song, their faces couldn't help revealing intoxication, as if they had been completely immersed in the beautiful sound of the piano...... But the potters had already seen it outside the hall, and many of them were indiscriminately filling the numbers.
Others don't say it, just say that the old man is upright, his hands are beating with the ancient song, shaking his head...... The potter clearly looked at the old man and was basically killed in seconds after an eight-shot shot, and he was not on the tune at all.
People in their sixties still play vassal elegance.
After a lingering song, everyone in the hall applauded vigorously.
Wang Kuang clapped his hands and praised proudly: "What a song 'Changgong Goose'!" Wang Situ's daughter is really a music and rhythm master. The piano music that Miss can play, I am afraid that only Cai Zhonglang can be on it, and Wang is fortunate to have three years to wash his ears. ”
Diao Chan stood up, retreated from the field to the banquet, and smiled lightly on her forehead: "The little woman is just a rough tone, how dare she compare with Cai Zhonglang, Wang Fujun is very praised." ”
Li Shao, the head of the Li family, stood up and smiled at Wang Yun: "The old man is on his birthday today, and it is really a blessing for the old man to be able to get a song from Wang Situ's beloved daughter!" ”
Wang Yun touched the beard on his chin, his face was flushed, obviously his vanity was greatly satisfied.
Pingzheng stood up and smiled at Wang Yun: "Today is Brother Li's 60th birthday, and it is really a blessing for Brother Li to have Lord Situ, Lord Zhongcheng, Da Si Nong, Wei Wei and other ministers of Luoyang come by chance." ”
Li Shao nodded vigorously and said, "Exactly, exactly." ”
Pingzheng continued to turn his head to Wang Yun and said: "Lord Situ was born in the Wang family of Taiyuan, Bingzhou, tracing back to the origin, after the ancestor is surnamed Ji, my Pingyi Ping family, from Han Aihou in South Korea, is also derived from the surname Ji, so to speak, Wang Situ and the old man were the same clan thousands of years ago." ”
Wang Yun smiled faintly when he heard this: "There is nothing wrong with Ping Gong saying this. ”
The potter didn't go in, and couldn't help but smile outside the hall...... Relatives from more than a thousand years ago also have to recognize it, and there is no one for Old Man Ping.
Ping Zheng smiled and continued: "Although the Pingyi Ping clan is not like the Wang clan from Lord Situ is the leader of the world's corporal clan, but it also belongs to the Hanoi Wang clan, today I took Brother Li's birthday banquet, and saw Lord Situ's beloved daughter so captivating and virtuous, the old man has a proposal......
Wang Yun was stunned when he heard this, and said, "What does Pinggong propose?" ”
Pingzheng smiled and said: "In the clan with the old man as the elder, the third generation of children in the next generation has produced a lot of young and handsome people, today I can see that Lord Situ loves his daughter so beautiful and virtuous, and Taiyuan Wang and Pingyi Ping are all from the origin, why not take today's Brother Li's birthday, let's kiss and kiss, Lord Situ will go to our clan the next day to choose, then a heroic young man, with the righteous daughter of the father, Taiyuan Wang and Pingyi Ping are good for Qin and Jin, and they will help each other in the future, share the wind and rain, I don't know what Lord Situ wants?" ”
When these words were spoken, everyone in the hall couldn't help but turn their heads to each other, obviously interested in the opinions that Ping Zheng suddenly put forward.
And the Li family, the Zheng family couldn't help but secretly scold the Ping family for being cunning, and they actually took this opportunity to climb with the Taiyuan Wang family!
Even Sima Lang, the head of the Sima family, was also moved.
Diao Chan's embroidered eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he didn't like Ping's words and deeds.
I have to say that the influence of the Taiyuan Wang clan is indeed very great in Bingzhou.
In this era, the scholars welcomed each other to marry each other, and paid great attention to the emergence of concubines, and slightly larger families, when they married each other, concubines could only be used as additives.
And Pingzheng is willing to use his family's descendants to marry Wang Yun's righteous daughter, which is also amazing! If you marry other ordinary scholars, the son of the Ping family will definitely marry a daughter, and the party who marries the daughter may have to take two concubines as a dowry...... Not to mention a so-called righteous daughter.
is a relative of more than a thousand years ago, and he is a righteous daughter who is married to a concubine, and the degree of desire for Wang Yun's family is far beyond the expectations of the potter.
Wang Yun's family seems to be really tight!
