Chapter 19: Three-year-old Wu Zetian
"Thank you, Your Majesty, there are a few well-behaved children in Weichen's family." Wu Shi Yu first thanked Li Yuan, this is a guarantee to ensure the wealth of the next generation of his martial arts family, but he must not be sloppy!
The clever butler of the martial arts was waiting outside the door, he was not qualified to enter the main room, and the moment he heard the samurai come over and whisper to him, he walked into the inner courtyard with excitement in his heart.
The inner courtyard is the residence of the female dependents, and generally speaking, even the housekeeper has to summon a few times when he comes in, but today the housekeeper Wang can't wait to break in directly.
The two family members guarding the inner courtyard looked at each other, but they didn't dare to stop them, Steward Wang was the brother of the warrior Yuzheng's wife, and belonged to the Taiyuan Wang family, even if it was a down-and-out branch, they couldn't provoke it.
What's more, although the Wang family died early, it also left Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang, two sons-in-law, Wu Yuanqing is the eldest son, and now the Yang family has laid eggs, but it is a female.
After the old man left, the power of life and death of these servants who had entered the lowly status was completely in the hands of the eldest son Wu Yuanqing in the future, so the inner courtyard was unimpeded at this moment.
In a rather luxurious courtyard in the inner courtyard, the orchid pavilion is fragrant, just at noon, and the leaves are cold.
The small window is warm, the green screen is covered, and the Yang family, the master mother of the Yingguo Mansion, is sitting on the soft collapse and is directing the maids and servants to pack up the gold and silver.
Chang'an to Lizhou is a long way, early in the morning just in the evening can arrive at Lantian Station, where a temporary stay for a night, and then out of the customs, but the hour has been delayed, but if you want to go, you can't go.
More than a dozen servants in the courtyard carried dozens of thick mahogany boxes, this is her mother's family because of guilt to make up the dowry, as the Sui Dynasty royal family, his father is the younger brother of Yang Xiong, the king of Guande of the Great Sui, Yang Da, the Duke of Suining, should have been rich and noble all his life, married to high-ranking officials and nobles as a cousin.
It's a pity that Li Yuan entered Chang'an in the thirteenth year of the Great Cause and established Yang Yu as the emperor, and in order to entrap the warrior Yan who helped him with military resources, he actually married her a royal girl to a merchant warrior Yan!
"Tang Law Shu Yi" has two laws in the household marriage law: "good and lowly do not marry" and "Shishu do not marry".
In the Wude years, when the imperial examination system was not prevalent, the laws left from the Northern and Southern Dynasties (all inherited from the laws of the previous dynasties) and secular concepts, it was unimaginable that a royal woman would marry a merchant!
Although Yang had a grudge against her, she was only in her twenties, and Samurai Yan was in her fifties, but fortunately, Samurai Yan treated her well.
Looking carefully at dozens of boxes of dowry, the psychological rise suddenly a trace of stability, these dowries are the foundation of her life, according to secular concepts, the dowry husband's family has no right to use, Yang secretly made up his mind in his heart, save it and not use it to her daughter as a dowry, but she must marry a good family.
"Mother, mother...", a little girl in a pink dress walked in step by step, her pink face was thin red, and the small voice of slight gasping came into her ears, and a layer of fine sweat beads oozed from her crystal little nose, and she already had the appearance of a beauty at a young age.
At present, the standard for judging whether she is a beauty is said to be graceful and elegant.
Rong is determined by heaven, carved after the event, with Puyu as the word, the color is like goat's milky white and tender and shiny as the superior, Wu Jue (xu, Wu Zetian's name) is young, but inherited the excellent bloodline of the Yang family, but also slim.
But it's a pity that the Book of Poetry says: "The banquet of the total horn, Yan Yan Yan with words and smiles." ”
The three-year-old Wu Jue is naturally not vulgar, and he has a total horn, which affects the overall appearance.
But thanks to the careful teaching from the Yang family, Wu Jue's words are quite aristocratic and lovable.
"Ry'er, what's wrong?" Yang intimately stroked the sweaty hair on Wu Jue's forehead, and asked with a smile.
Wu Jue's face hesitated, but he mustered up his courage for a moment and said, "Mother, when are you leaving!" My daughter has been looking forward to it for a long time..."
But before Yang could answer, the little maid Cui'er hurriedly trotted in and hurriedly said, "Mastermother, Steward Wang broke into the backyard to find the two sons without being informed. ”
Yang frowned slightly, and asked, "Isn't Steward Wang waiting outside the door of the main room?" Why did you suddenly break into the inner courtyard? ”
The matter of breaking into the inner courtyard can be big or small, Steward Wang is the brother of the samurai's deceased wife, she is not easy to scold, she usually turns a blind eye, where can the merchant's house be harsh?
"Come with me and see, if it's what the master orders, forget it." Yang got up and took Wu Jue's hand and said softly.
Whether there is such a thing or not, she must go, which involves her majesty as a housewife in the martial arts, if she doesn't ask today, there may be servants who dare to disobey her orders tomorrow, and Cibu Imperial Soldiers have been since ancient times.
After a while, the Yang family took his daughter and a large number of maids and mothers-in-law to the courtyard where Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang lived.
"Two sons, what a great honor it is to be able to accompany the Emperor Taishang, why don't you listen to your uncle and I when I talk to you?" Steward Wang persuaded Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang bitterly.
Although the two were the sons-in-law of the Yingguo Mansion, the early death of the Wang family, coupled with the resentment of the Yang family, the two were spoiled by servants since they were children.
Wu Yuanqing is eighteen years old, and Wu Yuanshuang is two years younger and sixteen years younger.
In this capital, relying on Li Yuan's favor to the warriors in the past, as well as the Mo family's property saved by the warriors, the two of them were even more arrogant than other families.
After the change of Xuanwu Gate, the warriors had already restrained them, and they didn't want them to go out to make trouble, and they were already dissatisfied in their hearts.
Wu Yuanqing reclined on the stool, his eyes were facing the sky, his face was disdainful, his legs were forked, one foot was on the table, he knocked over the inkstone, the copied calligraphy was covered with ink, his mouth whistled and teased the finch of the bamboo cage, took out his leisure time, and said slowly: "Uncle, a certain is the prince of the Yingguo Mansion, he has no worries about food and clothing, why do you have to be a servant by the emperor's side, how uncomfortable!" How can there be any wishful thinking now. ”
After speaking, he continued to tease the birds, not taking Steward Wang's words to heart at all.
Wu Yuanshuang is also a gentleman, but now he is sitting in danger, frowning, glanced at the eldest brother with a little worry, and secretly said in his heart: "The eldest brother is the eldest son, and this title will be inherited by him in the future, if I go, I will definitely be sent by my father to the Emperor Taishang to seek a future, but this Emperor is really so easy to treat?" What does Your Majesty think? ”
Compared with the eldest brother, although he has grown a little, he still can't see the fog of the current situation in front of him, and the stupid may listen to persuasion, but the stupid person is more willing to believe in himself and is more willing to use his own judgment to lock in the future.
If there is a samurai Yan's old scheming, can he still be called a gentleman?
As a fool, Wu Yuanshuang didn't want to go!
