Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Eldest Grandson's Family (I)
The eldest grandson family has always been the Tang Dynasty, in the Anshi Rebellion, the eldest grandson family suffered heavy losses, and it also collapsed, although it was not able to rank among the seven families, but it is still one of the famous families in Chang'an, and even the ex-wife of the right minister Cui Yuan, who has passed away, is also the daughter of the eldest grandson.
The current head of the eldest grandson family is called the eldest grandson Nanfang, the official worships Guanglu Siqing, he has a lot of children, but only one son, and the rest are all daughters, for this reason, the eldest grandson Nanfang has made an oath that he will use his daughter as bait to fish all the golden beetles in the world.
So, year after year, the eldest grandson Nanfang is busy recruiting sons-in-law, his Guanglu Temple Qing has become a part-time job, and his son-in-law is all over the government and the opposition, and he is expected to have the backbone of the province, and the latest son-in-law is the current science and technology Tanhualang.
However, among his twenty-one daughters, his most precious second daughter, the eldest grandson Yiyi, had a very high vision, and she was looking for a son-in-law but couldn't, until Zhang Huan ran back to the capital city for three thousand miles and became a hero of the Tang Dynasty.
If you want to pull the red line, you must first build a bridge, and the eldest grandson Nanfang inquired in many ways. In the end, I learned that the son-in-law I looked down on the most was Zhang Huan's best friend, so he ordered Song Lianyu to invite Zhang Huan as his boss and father-in-law.
As soon as the sky was dark, Zhang Huan came to the Changsun Mansion on time, the Changsun Mansion is located in Wubenfang, which is a place where dignitaries gather, the road is wide and the trees are shady, but there are very few pedestrians on the street, each house occupies a wide area, and often has to walk along the wall for a mile to see another gate.
"General Zhang really gives face!"
Zhang Huan's arrival made the eldest grandson's mansion boil, and the eldest grandson strode out of the mansion, without waiting for Zhang Huan to give a salute, his fat big hand stretched out, and he held Zhang Huan's hands very accurately, and the look was like a fisherman with a dismal harvest found a hundred-pound fish, although Zhang Huan was his daughter, but he also had something to ask for Zhang Huan.
"Uncle Changsun Shishi has a life, how dare Zhang Huan not come."
"Good! Good! When the eldest grandson Nanfang heard him call himself Uncle Shi, his eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile, and he always felt that he had to make a footnote to this title.
"That year, I went to Zhang's house in Taiyuan, and you boys were only in their teens, and they took turns to toast to me one by one, so there should be you among them!"
Zhang Huan smiled and said: "I didn't have a high status at home at that time, and I couldn't be on the stage, but I have always admired Uncle Shi. ”
"Might as well be! Might as well! The eldest grandson Nannan pulled Zhang Huan up the steps and said with a smile: "Actually, I have always don't care about the distinction between concubines and concubines, as long as I have the ability, as long as I can glorify the clan, even if it is a concubine, I will reuse it." ”
Most people will think that he is hypocritical when they hear this, but those who know him think it is true, of course, he only has one son, so he naturally doesn't care much about his concubine.
Saying that, the two entered the door of the mansion through the side door, and there was a row of tall, short, fat and thin men standing in the door, all with respectful faces, Zhang Huan had heard that there were many sons-in-law in the eldest grandson's family, so it must be them.
"Come on! Come! Come! I'll introduce you to it. The eldest grandson Nanfang smiled and pulled one of them, "This is my eldest son-in-law, Hou Yaozong, the official will be the prison Shaoqing, you must be close to each other in the future!" ”
Hou's son-in-law was dressed in court clothes, tall and thin, and said to Zhang Huan with a smile on his face: "I have admired Brother Zhang's prestige for a long time, and I have to see him today, which is really a blessing for three lives." ”
Zhang Huan also returned the salute with a smile, "Don't dare to be it, Zhang Huan occasionally makes small contributions, how can he compare with Hou Shaoqing as a pragmatic official." ”
After that, Zhang Huan suddenly found that Hou Yaozong was wearing a pair of riding boots, if it was winter, it would be easy to understand, but it was still summer, but he was still wearing court clothes, just like wearing a suit and leather shoes but wearing a pair of tourist shoes.
Zhang Huan swept his eyes and found that at least half of his dozen sons-in-law were wearing riding boots of the same color, and when he turned around, he found that the eldest grandson Nanfang was the same.
What's going on, is wearing riding boots a tradition of the eldest grandson's family? Zhang Huan had more than a dozen thoughts in his heart, but he still didn't figure out what the reason was? He thought of Song Lianyu's abnormality again, and always felt that this eldest grandson's family seemed to be strange everywhere.
"What, isn't Lian Yu at home?" Zhang Huan and his last son-in-law finished the ceremony, but they didn't see Song Lianyu, it stands to reason that he is the main guest.
"They don't know what they're doing. Not seen for an afternoon, come! Don't talk about them. ”
The eldest grandson Nanfang didn't seem to take this matter to heart, he waved his hand and made a gesture of invitation, "Virtuous nephew, please sit in the hall." ”
Zhang Huan didn't ask anymore, so he smiled and nodded and walked to the lobby, but after walking a few steps, he felt that someone was staring at him, he couldn't help but look around, just in a flower window not far from him, he suddenly saw a person hiding behind the curtain and peeping, she saw that she was found by Zhang Huan, and her skirt flashed, and disappeared from the window.
"Is this the eldest grandson Yiyi?" Zhang Huan smiled, he didn't have many women in contact, and the eyes of several women had their own characteristics, ordinary blankness, Pei Ying's cunning, Cui Ning's gentleness, and Jing Niang's fiery, but when he saw the woman just now, it was another kind of look, as if the scorching sun at noon was shining on the glazed tiles, so bright that it became a kind of dazzling.
The eldest grandson Nanfang next to him saw that Zhang Huan was attentive to the person in the window, he smiled meaningfully, with a smug look in his eyes, "Today's preparations are in a hurry, it's just an ordinary family banquet, don't say that I don't entertain well." ”
The lobby of the Changsun Mansion is extremely deep and wide, enough to accommodate a thousand people, only a few dozen seats are placed today, and the small ones in front of the banquet are not big, and can only accommodate one person, but the beads and jade cups on it are full of delicacies.
Dozens of maids shuttled back and forth in the lobby, carefully pouring wine for each table.
"Come on! Please feel free to sit down. ”
Although the eldest grandson Nanfang said casually, his sons-in-law returned to their respective positions, leaving only two seats close to the chairman, one of which was for Zhang Huan, and the other was naturally where today's heroine, the eldest grandson, was sitting.
Everyone sat down, and the eldest grandson Nanfang raised his lamp and said with a smile: "Today, General Zhang is very honored to come to the cold house, so now I have a toast to show my respect." ”
After speaking, he drank all the wine in the jade cup, and all the sons-in-law also drank it, and Zhang Huan also smiled and raised the cup to the eldest grandson Nannan and drank the wine.
After drinking a few glasses of wine, the seat next to her was still empty, but the heroine Changsun Yiyi made up cumbersome makeup and didn't come out for a long time, Changsun Nannan frowned, and impatiently ordered the maid behind him: "Go and call the young lady out." ”
At this time, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the lobby, and a little butler ran in in a panic and reported urgently: "Master, go and have a look!" Aunt Song fell and was injured, and the injury was very serious! ”
"Don't you see that I have guests?"
Eldest Sun Nannan's face suddenly sank, "If you are injured, you can ask the doctor to come and ....."
He was only halfway through what he said, and suddenly remembered that Zhang Huan was beside him, and the annoyance in his tone immediately turned into anxiety, "Why don't you go and ask Doctor Han soon, why do you want to report to me first, delay time!" ”
Zhang Huan had already stood up, and he arched his hand to the eldest grandson Nannan and said, "I want to take a look at Lian Yu's injury, I don't know if it's convenient." ”
The anxiety in the eldest grandson's tone turned into incomparable concern, "The old man is also very concerned, so let's go together!" ”
He waved his hand and said to his sons-in-law: "You go on, I'll take General Zhang to see it and go back." ”
