In the sixteenth year of Kaiyuan, Chang'an City originally had only two things for people to laugh about after dinner, one was the crown prince Li Ying's concubine, and the other was the birthday of Mrs. Zheng Guo, that is, the birthday of the most favored concubine Wu Hui's biological mother Yang, the whole Chang'an City magnates flocked to it, taking the opportunity to come to the door to congratulate the birthday, and did their best to stammer and flatter.

Because the butterfly flapped its wings, two different versions of the exotic legend from Anxi added more drama and festive colors to the life of Chang'an people. These two versions of the story are becoming more and more intense, each with different opinions, and the strong wind they blow has a tendency to overshadow the limelight of other major events.

In Chang'an City, the matter of the prince's selection of concubines has come to an end, and the matter has gradually faded out of people's sight, but Mrs. Zheng Guo's birthday banquet is remembered by the magnates, who are more concerned about this rare opportunity than those inconsequential conversations.

The door of the powerful is not always open, and once it is opened, it means that there is a big event, or a distinguished guest is visiting. Early this morning, the heavy dark wooden door of the Wu Mansion opened, and more than a dozen domestic servants stood on both sides of the gate with bright clothes and smiles, as if they were welcoming the arrival of some important person. There is a sea of red in the mansion, and the whole mansion is filled with a festive color.

Today is the fiftieth birthday of the Yang family, the mother of the head of the Wu family. It is likely that the emperor and Concubine Hui will come to congratulate in person, not to mention other dignitaries. On top of that, the head of the family also distributed rich rewards to each of his subordinates, which was called a common joy.

On Suzaku Street, a horse-drawn carriage is galloping north. Judging from the decoration of the carriage, it should be the seat of a middle-ranking court official.

Inside the car. An old man in his early fifties, well, is old. Perhaps it was the years of fatigue, the wind and frost, wrinkles had already climbed on his once handsome face, and as he frowned and meditated, the deep wrinkles on his forehead became more pronounced, and between the few stripes, it seemed to hide his inhumane twists and turns in life.

"Liancheng, don't worry, we won't be late."

Opposite the old man, an elegant beautiful woman tried to smooth out the wrinkles on the old man's forehead with gentle words. Beside the woman sat a little lady dressed in light red, who was unusually beautiful. Flashing a pair of lovely and invincible eyes, he stared at the old man, and he wanted to speak.

The old man is from Wenxi Pei's family, the name Guangting, the word Liancheng, the son of the famous general Pei Xingjian, and the current official residence of the military department.

Due to the smoke in the frontier over the years, even the secretary of the military department went to Hexi Jiedu in person to preside over the war with Tibet. In the military department, he was so oppressed by the heavy military affairs that he couldn't lift his waist, and he couldn't squeeze out any free time. If it weren't for his wife's uncle's birthday, he couldn't push it off because of his wife's face, and he really didn't want to join in the fun. No, as soon as he left the military affairs in his hand, he hurried home to meet his wife, and then went to the samurai mansion in Beicheng District.

Pei Guangting's wife Wu is the daughter of Wu Sansi, while Mrs. Zheng Guo is Wu Youzhi's wife, and the two Wu are both nephews of Wu Zetian. In terms of etiquette, Pei Guangting should call Mrs. Zheng Guo an uncle.

"Madame doesn't know. Yesterday, the military department was still in the book, and the Hexi Festival came to urge the letter again, and a bunch of trivial matters could not be handled, just worried about the husband. ”

Pei Guangting smiled bitterly.

Wu Shi complained: "Even if you complete the affairs at hand perfectly, if you offend Concubine Hui, I'm afraid your career will end here." ”

Pei Guangting didn't have a seizure, but just sighed leisurely and said, "What Madame said is very true. ”

Pei Guangting was once reused because his mother was Wu Zetian's close attendant, but later because he was Wu Sansi's son-in-law, his official career was hit hard, and he was not promoted back to Beijing until the beginning of the Kaiyuan Dynasty.

"Is the etiquette already in place?" Pei Guangting asked the Wu family.

Wu said, "It's already ready. ”

Pei Guangting nodded with satisfaction, turned his head to look at the little lady beside his wife, and smiled kindly: "What about the little lady?" Do you have a gift ready for your grandmother? ”

"She?" Wu's voice was a little resentful, as if he hated iron but not steel, "Xiao Niang almost didn't make a big accident." ”

"Oh? What's the matter? ”

Pei Guangting's brows showed signs of regaining his wrinkled state, staring at Xiao Niang, his eyes revealing a hint of sternness.

The little lady beside the Wu family hurriedly lowered her head, not daring to look directly into Pei Guangting's eyes.

Wu grabbed the jade hand of the little lady next to him angrily, and sighed: "Our Ruoxi little lady is good at everything, and she looks good, but these hands can't even do embroidery." ”

Wu paused, patted Xiao Niang's hand and continued: "A few days ago, I asked Xiao Niang to embroider a shawl herself, ready to give it to her uncle, but I didn't expect that this little lady actually cheated and played tricks, and two days ago, I looked for an opportunity to go to the West Market to buy a replacement. Fortunately, I took a closer look, otherwise, when someone else found out that it was not a local item, our Pei family's face would be lost. ”

"You!" Pei Guangting's mouth was shaking with anger, "It's going to make a mess!" ”

Among the several children, Pei Guangting loves this little daughter the most. Pei Ruoxi is the daughter he gave birth to after returning to Chang'an to serve as an official, and she has been very iconic since she was a child, and the more she looks at it, the more she loves it, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she is the pearl of her palm.

Wu Shi smiled and complained: "It's not caused by your spoiling, it's better to scold her than to reflect on yourself." ”

Pei Guangting said: "Okay, it's all my fault." It's not okay to go on like this, you have to find a good husband for the little lady as soon as possible. ”

Wu said: "What Fu Lang said is very true, if Xi is thirteen this year, he will be engaged first, and he can get married in two years." ”

"Mother, don't, don't, don't, if you're still young, you still have to wait by your father and mother's side."

Pei Ruoxi blushed and buried her little head in Wu's arms, twisting her body and making a coquettish look.

Pei Guangting shook his head and looked at his wife with a helpless smile.

Wu stroked his daughter's head lovingly, and sighed: "The male should marry, and the female should marry." This has been the case since ancient times, whether you want it or not. Mother also hopes that the little lady can find a wishful husband. ”

"But Ruoxi is still young, and I don't want to get married!"

Pei Xiaoniang buried her head and continued to be coquettish.

Pei Guangting said with a smile: "Ruoxi can wait, but Xiao Heng is already weak, young and suave, the whole Chang'an doesn't know how many little girls are eyeing him, I'm afraid you will regret it then!" ”

"Humph! If he doesn't want to wait, he will let him go, so I don't want him. ”

Pei Xiaoniang suddenly raised her head, blushing and biting her rosy lower lip.

"Really? That's good, I was afraid to tell you, you will be sad. ”

Pei Guangting blinked his cunning eyes and said jokingly.

When Pei Xiaoniang heard this, she was anxious, and she didn't care what she said just now, and asked eagerly: "What's the matter?" He, married? ”

"I don't know which one the little lady is asking?" Pei Guangting deliberately pretended to be crazy and stupid.

"Father bullied me. Mother, tell Ruoxi quickly. ”

Pei Xiaoniang glared at Pei Guangting and turned to the Wu clan for help.

"No, your father is teasing you. It depends on what you care about. ”

Wu Clan said with pleasure.

Pei Xiaoniang breathed a sigh of relief, but her mouth was still tough: "I don't care about him, hmph, when the time comes, he comes to beg me, and I ignore him." ”

Pei Guangting looked at Pei Xiaoniang dotingly, and sighed: "Girls are outgoing, it's always good." When you see your Henglang, you're going to forget about your parents. ”

"Oh, my father is bullying me again!"

Pei Xiaoniang's coquettish voice sounded in the carriage, it was so beautiful that passers-by couldn't help but want to see how beautiful the owner of the voice looked......

At this time, the samurai family was very lively, and there was an endless stream of guests who came to congratulate them.

"Turk Shi Zhongshun Khan's bones are sipping to congratulate!"

The butler at the door sang loudly.

These days, Gu Si and Li Huaitang have become well-known controversial figures in Chang'an City, and everyone is curious about who is the hero and who is the tyrannical person who sells fame and reputation. Now, one of the protagonists of the story suddenly appeared here, and the attention of everyone present was attracted, even today's protagonist, the birthday star Mrs. Zheng Guo. There was a buzz of discussion.

The gift list was sent to the head of the martial family, and Wu Zhong's eyes were straight at it.

The gifts are not abundant, there are precious furs, all kinds of gems and jade, horses and rare Tianshan snow lotus, which are worth a lot.

Wu Zhong's expression fell into Gu Si's eyes, he was very disdainful, and he secretly admired in his heart, everything was expected by Que Yiru.

The generous bone slurry was brought to Mrs. Zheng Guo.

"The bones of the savage are sipped, I wish Mrs. Crane a long life, a long life, a blessing to the sky, all the best, and a bright future for all children and grandchildren."

The bone slurped the congratulatory words that he had practiced all night last night, and his tone seemed quite funny.

The birthday star, Mrs. Zheng Guo, smiled slightly and signaled for the bone sip to be exempted. Curious, Mrs. Zheng Guo asked Gu Si a question in public:

"You are the famous general of the Turgish prince who defeated the Great Cannibal?"

With a look of humility, he said, "Mrs. Guo is too famous, and I am really ashamed." Compared with the generals of the Celestial Empire, he is just a little luckier, and there is nothing to praise. ”

"Hehe, it's rare, the general is young, but he is so humble, and his future must be limitless."

Mrs. Zheng Guo said approvingly.

"What my mother said is very true, and my son has heard that His Royal Highness is a hero, but he is puzzled. A few days ago, I happened to learn that he was waiting for the face saint in Chang'an, so he cheekily invited him to celebrate his mother's birthday, so as to solve everyone's doubts. ”

Wu Zhong said loudly, deliberately letting the onlookers hear it clearly.

"Oh, it turned out that the person concerned was invited to tell the story on the spot!"

Everyone suddenly realized and their interest increased. I'm used to hearing the rumors in the market, and I don't know whether it's true or not, but it's a blessing to hear the story of the protagonist himself today.

Wu Zhong smiled proudly: "Mother, please rest, after everyone gathers, Zhong'er will make his own arrangements." "Wu Zhong will continue to receive visitors, please forgive me for being inconsiderate. If Your Highness the Prince is interested,

You might as well go to my garden, there is a large area of peach trees, it is said that peaches are also produced in the land of the Nine Kingdoms of Zhaowu, but I don't know how it tastes compared to Chang'an......"

Wu Zhong didn't dare to have a private meeting with his ministers in public, so he casually found an excuse to let his family take him to the back garden.

The chatter in the front yard sounded again, and the guests were quite looking forward to the arrival of a wonderful story......
