"Xiaolang, when will you come back, don't let me know."

The Grand Sima Mansion of the Duke of Qi, the cloister water pavilion, the trestle pavilion in the lake, a stone table, four stone benches, and three beauties leaning on benches.

A handsome woman in brocade dress came slowly from the curved corridor, smiling shyly.

The woman's goose egg face and peach blossom eyes, the silk and satin rings are jingling, the tight waist is even more graceful, and the woman's smile is like a touch of fragrance, gentle and elegant, which can't help but make people want to hug her into their arms.

But Tang Yuan's hand was behind his back, quite cramped.

"Citron, I..." Tang Xiao looked ashamed, didn't know how to answer, and was silent.

The woman looked up at Tang Xiao, her big eyes full of affection.

"Xiaolang, what's wrong with you?"

The smile on the woman's face faded like a tide, replaced by a look of anxiety.

"No... It's nothing. Tang Xiao's eyes dodged.

"You must have something to hide from me." The woman took a step forward, and there was only less than two feet between the two, and Tang Yuan took half a step back as if instinctively.

"Why are you avoiding me?" The woman took another step forward.

"I..." Tang Yuan was troubled by self-blame in his heart, and he didn't dare to face the woman, and said: "There is one thing, sooner or later, you will be known, it is better to tell you now." ”

"Shhhh Don't say, let me guess, okay? The woman stretched out a finger against Tang Yuan's lips.

The woman's name is Qian Xiangli, and she is a descendant of Qian Shandong, one of the five major dukes of Wu Guogong, one of the founding fathers. is not married at the age of twenty, and is only waiting for Tang Xiao. It's just that Tang Xiao has been busy with military affairs, often not in the capital, and has not had time to discuss with his family, let alone hold a wedding.

Originally, the Qian family was also one of the five major gate valves, and later followed Gaozu to pacify the "Kangdu Rebellion", the Qian family's army was exhausted, and he thought that he would make war achievements and reorganize the army, but he never wanted to be cut off by Gaozu, and the remnants of the army were incorporated into the Zhao family, so far the Qian family lost their army.

When Wu Guogong was alive, he often sighed at home: My Qian family is loyal to the Zhao family, but I never thought that I was the first to be deprived of military rights.

"Could it be that you forgot to bring me a present?" The woman is coquettish.

Tang Xiao shook his head.

Seeing Tang Xiao shaking his head, Qian Xiangli smiled and said, "If you don't bring it, you don't bring it, it's not a big deal." After a slight pause, "My family is not short of money, so it's a big deal for me to buy it myself." ”

Gaozu treated the Qian family quite kindly, and set a rule, the Qian family should be placed in a Zhengyipin official position for generations, but most of them are idle positions such as the prince and the prince, the prince and the prince, and the prince and the prince. The royal family does not deliberately control the chaebol power of the Qian family, and now one-fifth of the country's salt roads are still under the control of the Qian family, a family of great wealth.

Tang Yuan blushed and said, "What I mean by shaking my head is that the situation is more serious than this. ”

Qian Xiangli was slightly shocked: "It seems that something big has happened, so it's up to you to say it." ”

"I'm afraid, you can't accept this result. Actually, it's hard for me to accept it, but I can't do it myself. Tang Xiao looked a little frustrated, "I'll tell you directly, Empress Dowager Cao pointed out Princess Chang'an to me." ”

"You promised?" Qian Citron was shocked.

"I didn't say yes, but my dad did." Tang Xiao sat on the chair and lowered his head, not daring to look at Qian Citron.

"And what do you think?"

"I..." Tang Xiao hesitated slightly.

"Xiaolang, how can you do this to me?" Qian Citron's fingers trembled, tears flowed, and he turned around and threw himself into the lake.

Tang Xiao was shocked, grabbed it, and took it into his arms.

The two hugged their heads and cried.

——

There are three people in the house, namely the big Sima Tang Zhen, the big wife He, and the housekeeper Tang Shun.

The rest of the people were blasted out by Tang Zhen.

The old lady didn't know what medicine her husband was selling in the gourd, and she was not very worried, so she continued to make sweaters for her eldest grandson, and she was doing it energetically, without raising her head.

Hearing that Tang Zhen's tone was not good, she put down her needlework and sat up straight.

But at this time, Tang Zhen stopped talking again, sitting in the chair and thinking about something.

He looked left and right, and then picked up the knitting needle.

"Tang Shun, how are Xiao'er's preparations for marriage?" He said to the housekeeper, then turned to her husband and said, "At the age of twenty-seven, you haven't started a family, what kind of system has you become?" Now that Empress Dowager Cao is married, she can't be disobeyed, and he has to agree if he doesn't agree to this family. ”

The old housekeeper Tang Shun stood aside respectfully, hiding a big matter in his heart, his face was solemn, and he didn't dare to speak.

When the eldest Sima Tang Zhengang heard about his son and the girl of the Qian family, he also seemed worried, and said: "If you want me to see, this marriage will be overturned by your son again." This is not the first time that a marriage has been made. ”

He Shi was stunned for a moment, put down the needle and thread, and said, "The reason why he was able to escape marriage last time was not because he was on the battlefield?" At that time, he was a celebrity in front of the emperor, and I don't know how he did it, so he actually withdrew from the marriage. In fact, if you retreat, you can retreat, and I don't look at Princess Zhao Fei of Changle very well. With a high temperament, she doesn't know how to do things, she is arrogant, and stupid, if she marries into the family, will we still be angry with her? Compared with Princess Zhao Ya of Chang'an, it is really a heaven and an underground. That Zhao Ya, I like it at first sight, she is a shrewd person, and she will be likable, so that people serve my family Xiao'er, and I am satisfied. He smirked.

"Hmph, pick up the nice ones." Tang Zhen snorted lightly: "You still don't dislike Zhao Fei is concubine?" If you are the daughter of Empress Dowager Cao, can you say that? ”

He was anxious: "Hey, old man, why did you turn your elbow outward and beat you in?" Isn't my son your son? What are you angry with me? At that time, Empress Dowager Cao was not the mother of the main palace, why did I dislike Zhao Fei's background? ”

Tang Zhen flicked his sleeves and pointed: "You woman, you are just using strong words, where are you looking for a daughter-in-law for your son, you are simply looking for peace of mind for yourself." Now that Princess Chang'an's mother has died a long time ago, why don't you pick this time? ”

was exposed, He Shi laughed instead of anger, and said proudly: "Can that be the same?" She grew up beside the Empress Dowager Cao since she was a child, and she is half a daughter. ”

"Hey, old lady, let me tell you something, don't yell at me." Tang Zhen said bitterly: "I didn't joke with you just now, this time your son is afraid that he will overturn the marriage again." I don't know why he got out of the marriage last time, but I think it may have something to do with it. ”

"What's the matter?" He exclaimed.

——

"Lu'er, why are you crying?"

Taifu Mansion, deep house compound, pavilions, eaves building and Da Sima Mansion compared with the Great Sima Mansion, there are more than that.

After Qian Xiangli left Sima Mansion, she couldn't stop sobbing, and when she returned home, she finally alerted the old lady at home to inquire about the situation.

This old lady has a heavy hair on the top of her head, and there is not a single white silk in her sixtieth year, and her bearing is noble and her tone is high-pitched.

"Grandma, don't ask."

"Hmph, who dares to bully my Fan Tiehua's granddaughter, let's hear it! Even if it's a royal boy, I'm going to go to the Empress Dowager Cao to reason with me. ”

Qian Citron told her grandmother what happened today, and the old lady's face sank like water.

In the past ten years, several elders of the Qian family have been discussing, and the main topic is: Without the support of the army, the Qian family will sooner or later become a fish.

The previous generations of emperors ceded land and paid compensation, but in exchange for some peaceful days, but now these two generations of emperors are not, and they simply have the momentum of "the Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies".

If such a vicious fight continues, there are no more than two results, either it will be annexed by foreign countries, or the Great Liang Dynasty will pacify the four seas, but no matter which result it is, it is not what the Qian clan wants to see.

As the patriarch of the Qian family said: Once the great unification, our Qian family will completely lose its value, and then it will become a thorn in the emperor's eye, and we will definitely be eliminated.

Including Fan Tiehua, the Qian family racked their brains, hoping to get the army, and let Qian Citron marry the Tang family, which was also one of the moves.

"What are you going to do with this?" Fan Tiehua asked coldly.

"I've got to mess with it. Just now I went to Princess Changle's Mansion and told Zhao Fei about it, and then went to Sima Nianru and let her know about it. ”

The old lady's heart moved, but her face did not change and said: "I can understand that you go to find Zhao Fei, but what do you mean when you go to find the daughter of the Sima family?" ”

"The good things that his Tang family's son did, I thought I didn't know." Qian Xiangyu stopped sobbing, her eyes were cruel, and she said coldly: "I want Sima Nianru to go to the palace to find Zhao Fei and stir up this matter together. ”

Hearing this, the iron-masked old lady breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said, "This is my Fan Tiehua's granddaughter, she has the means and courage to do things, very good, very good." ”

Then the old lady left, and the handsome woman took her head off the bed, covering her head in pain: "I look forward to your return, day and night, I look forward to this result, Tang Xiao, your heart is so ruthless." ”

——

"Grandma's, if you don't borrow it, you won't borrow it, who are you scolding?"

Tang Hu went to borrow forage from the groom, but was driven away by the groom, Tang Hu was furious, grabbed the groom's neck, and turned his fists to make a gesture. The barracks were very large, and instead of going to the stables of the Dengzhou camp, they ran to the westernmost Yanzhou camp. In this way, the grooms rarely see them.

"Where did I scold you, but it's just a mantra." The groom was pulled by the neck of the behemoth, and he was a little weak-hearted.

Tang Yuan suddenly ran over, stretched out his hand to stop Tang Hu, and shouted: "Zhang Dafei, you fool, let go, dare to beat the groom, see how I clean you up, Guan Er, come in and him!" ”

Before the words fell, Chen Bao, who was alias Guan Er, broke over and grabbed Tang Hu's arm.

Tang Hu scolded angrily, fought with Chen Bao, and threw the groom in his hand, and the groom actually retreated more than a foot, fortunately Tang Yuan reacted quickly, quickly supported it, turned his head and glared at Tang Hu, Tang Hu was pushed out of the door by Chen Bao, and there was a terrifying sound of fighting outside, which scared the groom so much that his face turned pale, and he wanted to run out to inform the chief, but was stopped by Tang Yuan.

Not long after, Tang Yuan walked out with a bundle of hay, gave Chen Bao Tang Hu who was hiding in the corner a look, and ran quickly together to avoid the groom's sight, and said happily: "To do things, you have to do both soft and hard." Tang Hu, you acted well, and your meritorious service was not small. ”

How did the groom know that this was actually a plan, he suffered a secret loss, and felt that Tang Yuan was really a good person, remember the name of a good person, called Liu Xiaobei, the baby Bei.

"Hehe," Tang Hu smiled and said, "I'll just say, our Xiaofeng is the reincarnation of a reincarnation, and his heart is full of twists and turns." ”

"Wheels?"

"Didn't you say that, what the hell?"

"That's called Guiguzi! Depend on! Don't talk to me about those useless things in the future, hurry back to the nest! ”

Back to the tent.

"Grandma's, this little grass is not enough." Tang Hu grunted.

Chen Bao and Tang Hu are both oversized physiques, and once the grass is separated, it is not enough.

Tang Yuan scratched his head and said, "I heard from the groom just now that there is a village less than twenty miles away from the military camp, where straw mats are sold, and the price is not expensive, it is better for us to ride a horse at night, it won't take long." ”

"Will the horses allow us to ride out?" Chen Bao said worriedly.

"Talk to Instructor Bai, I think it's okay." Tang Yuan said: "It's just that I don't have any money in my hand, what about the two of you?" ”

Chen Bao and Tang Hu glanced at each other, and they both shook their heads with a wry smile.

Three poor ghosts.

Lying down helplessly, Tang Hu felt that the little grass was useless, and he stretched his neck and said: "Hey, Xiaofeng, I know that you and the three girls of the Hu family are very sweet, and they are now the celebrities around General Tang Qi, and they must have money in their hands." Why don't you borrow something from her? You see that the third brother and I are covered in injuries, if you get a cold, don't you feel distressed? ”

"Are you going to die?" Tang Yuan scolded, thought about it, and went to find Hu Lanhua.
