Volume 1 Yang Guandong Chapter 80 Gate Valve Clan (2)
"Okay, to be able to climb up to your Liu Mansion, my family's Wuwei has worked hard for so many years in vain! Hehe! After going to Jiangnan to do a good job of business this time, the old man will definitely hire three media and six appointments, come to your mansion to propose, and Yucheng will marry my grandson and Ling Qianjin! β
Grandpa smiled with relief, as if he had long forgotten his mother's entrustment to let Wuwei's second brother take leave to return to the Western Regions and marry Cousin Langol.
"Wu Wei, this baby is full of poems and books, dragon and phoenix, as long as a little support, it will definitely be above the clouds in the future! To say that Gao Pan is also the virtuous grandson of my little daughter, Gao Pan's elder brother! Ha ha! β
There was another loud laugh, followed by the sound of a splash of pink falling.
I'm already worried about the second brother of Wuwei, and I've got such a Taishan adult.
If Mrs. Liu's little daughter is also like her father, a banshee with a smeared face, wouldn't she be scared to death, how can she have the joy of raising her eyebrows!
Later, I learned that since Cao Wei, the style of judging scholars by appearance has prevailed in the Han land of Middle Earth.
In addition to being born in a family and learning from your own talents, the way to be promoted to the knighthood is to see if you have the posture of a dragon and phoenix, and the appearance of Pan Yue in Qiu Xingfu.
After the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Southern Dynasties, this kind of world style became more and more popular, and it became a trend for men to take femininity as beauty and apply grease and powder.
As young as a yellow-mouthed child, as old as Mrs. Liu, as long as you are among the scholars, if you don't pay attention to your appearance and don't apply powder when you go out, it is tantamount to self-extinction.
He will be ridiculed by the world, and his relatives, friends, and colleagues in the DPRK and China will also disdain to associate with him, and his own financial and goods will be cut off from now on.
Heavy makeup is to ask for five blessings, and it turns out that what Mrs. Liu said has his own reason.
The gate lord clan is the foundation of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the example of the world, and the old lady Liu should naturally take the lead in setting an example, not hesitating to smear an old face like a ghost.
"It's been a mess of time since then, and the virtuous brother won't blame me!" Grandpa took a sip of green tea and joked with a loud smile.
"You and my hometown party friends have been brothers all their lives, as for their juniors, they can be called whatever they want! Such a trivial matter is insignificant! Mrs. Liu pointed to her grandfather and himself and said solemnly.
It seems that the second brother Wu Wei, the future son-in-law of Chenglong, is even appreciated by this old man Liu.
Therefore, Mrs. Liu not only let go of the view of the valve clan, but also the orderly generation of the elders and young can also be regarded as a subsection.
"Hey! My Wuwei grandson has been living alone in the Southern Dynasty thousands of miles away from home for a long time, and it is difficult to sleep and eat every time I think of it! Now that you can rely on the towering tree of your Liu Mansion, the old man is finally worry-free! Come, green tea instead of wine to my virtuous brother! β
Grandpa raised the teacup very emotionally and thanked Mrs. Liu.
"The wine and food in the back kitchen have been prepared, and after a while, our two brothers will get drunk and rest! Ha ha! Brother Tai can rest assured, whether it is Wuwei or Chang'anwa, as long as I am in Liufu, they will not be wronged in this land of the Southern Dynasties! β
Mrs. Liu accepted her grandfather's thanks and drained the tea in her cup.
"Chang'an Baby, this spring's filial piety recommendation, I have submitted your name post! After your second brother gets married, come to Jiankang's Guozijian to report! A few years later, like Wu Weiwa, let your uncle who works in the ministry fill in the vacant official position for you! You two brothers can be horns for each other in this Southern Dynasty and show your ambitions! When that time comes, your ancestors and ancestors in Longxi will be able to smile and Jiuquan! β
Mrs. Liu looked at me and Brother Chang'an, who were accompanying me on the first case, and said thoughtfully.
"Thank you Taigong for your recommendation, Chang'an thanked you first!"
The third brother Chang'an stood up sensibly and bowed for a long time.
"Knowledgeable and reasonable, and a manufacturable material! Brother Tai, I, Liu Xuan, envy you! With such a grandson who is the best of the three, why worry about not being able to glorify his ancestors in the future! I miss Liu Xuan, I have married Mrs. Shifang, and all the women I gave birth to were women, and there was no child! What's the use of earning this huge family business with half a lifetime of hard work! β
This old man is really temperamental, and he weeps when he talks about sadness.
The old tears soaked the red powder on his face, leaving two black gray marks, which were impossible to look at.
Out of politeness to the elders, Chang'an and I swallowed the smile into our stomachs.
Suddenly, an inexplicable fear came to my heart, and the more than ten daughters to be married were still in the boudoir.
If on a whim, he takes a fancy to me and Chang'an again, and grandpa can't erase the old man's affection and agrees, then he will be very happy and sad!
Such a place of right and wrong must not be left for a long time.
When I was secretly planning a family banquet, I must find an excuse to take the third brother of Chang'an to disappear from the eyes of Mrs. Liu and his ladies, so as to cut off people's thoughts.
I later learned that it was all my own doing.
Several of Mrs. Liu's eldest daughters have long been married to wealthy families in Jiangnan, and their nieces and nephews are the same age as us.
At present, the four daughters in the boudoir are all as beautiful as immortals, and the children of the local nobles are all eager to follow.
It is a great blessing that the second brother of Wu Wei can win the heart of one of the beauties and embrace the beauty.
"Brother Xian, don't be sad, now the expatriate warriors on both sides of the river, which one can compare to your Liu Mansion! The beauty of the daughter envies others, the protΓ©gΓ© is convenient for the world, and the wealth is enough to be the enemy! What a pity that life is like this! Grandpa reassured.
"Having said that, after all, it's still about making wedding dresses for others! Hey, don't talk about it! Mrs. Liu took a breath, picked up the green tea and drank it all.
"Jincheng baby, I heard your father say that you have never been married, do you have any plans to start a family in Jiangdong?"
"Returning to the princess, the younger generation has no such plans. The mother is still in Khotan in the Western Regions, and as the eldest son, he should serve him in this life to honor filial piety! β
After listening to Master Liu's inquiry, I hurriedly prevaricated with filial piety.
"Filial piety comes first! Very good, very good! Ha ha! We Han people have always paid attention to the orderliness of the young and the old, and now the elder brother has not yet married, but the second child in the family is one step ahead, which is not in line with the etiquette! You won't blame me, will you! β
Mrs. Liu looked at me, and her stiff smiling face covered in fat powder was terrifying.
"The second brother Wu Wei has been living in Jiangnan for thousands of miles away from home alone, and now he finally has something to rely on! The grace of the prince is as heavy as Mount Tai, Jincheng can only be grateful, how dare he blame! β
After that, I stood up from the moment I stepped on it and bowed deeply to Mrs. Liu.
Although I don't know how to deal with my cousin's matter yet, the above words are definitely sincere.
If Wu Wei really stayed in the Eastern Jin Dynasty to develop, there would be no harm in having Mrs. Liu's backer.
Guozi Jian Taixue has just been completed, and the actual appointment of Xiapi County Cheng has been completed, without the full support of the valve clan like Liu Fu, it is simply impossible.
"Jincheng Wa's words are very much in line with the old man's heart! Hehe! When we met for the first time, this gold bead bracelet was given by the merchants of the Champa State that year, and it was given to my nephew as a gift for meeting! β
Mrs. Liu proudly took off the beads on her wrist and handed them to the maid on the side to send them to my desk.
"The prince's beloved thing, how can the nephew accept it!" I quickly stood up and said.
Mrs. Liu is commensurate with my grandfather and brother, but she calls me a nephew, which feels very awkward.
But thinking that the second brother Wu Wei is going to become the son-in-law of the dragon, there is nothing wrong with such a title.
"Jin Cheng, Taigong's wishes, you can accept it!" The grandfather on the side smiled and relieved the siege.
"Then thank you, Taigong!" I bowed deeply again before sitting back on my futon.
When I was at the Qingfengze Inn in Khotan, I often saw the pearl ornaments worn by the merchants of Kushan and Canaan, but all of them were silver-white sea pearls.
This golden pearl is as big as a bird's egg, and it is the first time I have seen it, and I feel very novel.
As for this Champang, I later learned that it was a barbarian island country in the South China Sea, and it had commercial and trade contacts with the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Southern Dynasties.
"Master, the wine and food over there in the guest hall have been prepared."
While we were having a good conversation, a young maid came to beckon everyone to dinner.
"Good! Brother, let's go over and talk while drinking! β
Mrs. Liu stood up with the support of the maid and led our ancestors and grandchildren out of the tearoom.
"Brother Xian, I brought you a few jars of grape wine from the Western Regions, and I will send them over to Lao Su! Mellow and sweet, it is very different from the sake of southern Middle-earth! β
"Brother Tai knows that the foolish brother loves this mouthful! Haha, I haven't finished the old Qin Feng wine you brought last year! β
"Hey, everything in this southern country is good, but the taste of this Wuyue Chu wine is too light, and it doesn't have the strong and refreshing taste of the north! Ha ha! β
"What Brother Tai said is extremely true! The masters of my brewery here are all from the brewing families of the northern counties, the same craftsmanship, the same grains, but they can't make the mellow strength of northern sake! You say it's not weird! β
"Because of the water and soil, one side of the water and soil raises one person! We have lived in the Western Regions for a long time, and now we are half of the Hu people! β
The two old men walked on the road and even talked about the difference in the taste of sake from the north and the south, just like when they were in the hometown of Jincheng County, Longxi, when the eagle jumped on the horse in Qinwangchuan.
Back then, he was still a young man like me and Chang'an, but in the blink of an eye, he was already an old man.
The son said on the river, the deceased is like a shout!
