Chapter 2 Wu Zetian's Life
The news of the death of Wu Shi Tong, the largest timber merchant in Chang'an and the head of the Wu family, can be said to be a widely discussed thing recently, not because of the novelty of Wu Shi Tong's death, but because of his two sons, Wu Yuanshuang and Wu Yuanqing.
The Wu family is very rich, someone has seen it, Wu Yuanshuang went to Yihong Courtyard to sell all the banknotes of one hundred taels of silver issued by Datang Bank, and he did not carry silver and copper coins at all.
And as soon as Wu Shitong died, the large inheritance he left behind became a huge problem, the saddest thing is the three sisters of the martial family, and the most proud are naturally Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang, when Dad was alive, he has been restricting their expenses, now it's okay, Dad hangs up, the money is not spent casually, thinking of the two of them is overjoyed.
If Wu Shi Tong had not died of illness unmaturely, and if Wu Yuanqing had not been for his brothers, perhaps Wu Zetian would have become a famous poet or calligrapher in Chinese history in the future, rather than a politician or strategist.
Wu Zetian was still called Wu Zhao at this time, and she was deeply influenced by her father since she was a child. Her poems were written at the time, and the best thing was that she was also good at the extremely difficult Feibai calligraphy.
However, there is no if in this world, fate loves to play tricks, the reality is cruel, and Wu Zhao is experiencing this cruelest reality at this time......
"This is my home!" "Bump!" A large bag of clothes was thrown out of the room, and a slender-eyed young man yelled at the three women at the door.
"Butler, butler! Get these women away, I don't want to see them. The slender-eyed young man shouted impatiently.
An old white-bearded butler walked over tremblingly. The voice was a little sad and said, "Second Young Master." These are all young ladies in the family...... How can you drive them away? ”
"Huh?!" The slender-eyed young man looked annoyed. went up and kicked the butler in the leg, kicking the old butler to the ground, "I don't even listen to the words of this young master, do you believe it or not, I will quit you now and sell you as a slave?!" ”
The slender-eyed young man said this, but the old man was broken, and the old man begged the young master to open up the net with tears.
This scene made two of the three women sob, they didn't expect it. This is what my brother did after his father just died, and it is simply inferior to a beast.
Among the three women, only one of them looked the youngest and did not cry, her eyes were very cold, as if they were ten thousand years of ice, and the corners of her mouth were slightly bloody, this woman was not without resentment and fear, but had reached the extreme, and it could be seen from her clenched fists that she had already engraved this scene in the depths of her soul. One day, she will make this young man pay the price he deserves!
"Wu Yuanshuang. The real estate, real estate, shops, stocks, and futures of my father's life were all divided between you and Wu Yuanqing, and now you want to take away even the place where we live? The woman's voice was cold, as if every word seemed to come out of her soul.
When someone said this, the young man named Wu Yuanshuang couldn't hold back his face, and explained indiscriminately: "Big brother doesn't ask you, why should I give you a place to live?" ”
"Wu Yuanshuang, are you still human? We are all in the blood of our fathers, and now you are going to force us to death?! If we freeze and starve to death on the streets of Chang'an, say it, and your face will be better?! Although the woman looked unusually young, only twelve or thirteen years old, her voice seemed to exude a powerful force.
Wu Yuanshuang was choked by Wu Zhao's words, and said as if arguing: "Don't we still have relatives in our family......" But his explanation was quite lacking.
"Wu Yuanshuang, our sisters don't ask for much, just a courtyard where you can live, if you don't agree to this, just look at the report in the "Datang News" tomorrow!" Wu Zhao said word by word.
Although Wu Yuanshuang felt that his face was a little unbearable, he was not very easy to attack, after all, he was at his own expense, so he waved his hand and said irritably: "Then you can go to live in the courtyard at the north gate." ”
As soon as Wu Yuanshuang finished speaking, a woman next to Wu Zhao sobbed even louder, the courtyard at the north gate used to be a firewood house, as a brother, Wu Yuanshuang would be so ruthless and unjust.
When Wu Zhao heard Wu Yuanshuang say this, he laughed angrily and couldn't say a word.
"Report~!" A guard guarding the door hurriedly walked into the few people who were confronting him, and said to Wu Yuanshuang with a fist in his hand: "Second Young Master Qiqi, there are people outside the gate who claim to be friends of the head of the family, and they have come to pick up the three sisters of the Wu family by name, as well as Mrs. Yang. ”
Wu Yuanshuang was a little incredulous, but he soon smiled, someone wanted to share these burdens for him, and he wished he could have a few more.
"Which of my father's friends is it?" Wu Yuanshuang was in a good mood.
"It seems to be the Chang'an Xu family."
"Guigu Xu Family?!" ……
When Xu Yang arrived at the gate of the martial arts, he could still see the mourning objects placed at the gate, as well as the white ribbons, a solemn scene.
But when he saw Wu Yuanshuang, Xu Yang felt that Wu Shitong had really lived in vain in this life.
"Haha, distinguished guests!" Wu Yuanshuang greeted Xu Yang who got out of the carriage with a smile on his face, and seeing such a bright smile on his face, Xu Yang even wondered if it was really his father who died.
The muscles on his face trembled, and Xu Yang said softly in embarrassment: "The festival mourns smoothly." ”
"Forehead......" Wu Yuanshuang seemed to remember something, and the smile on his face was not as unrestrained as it was just now, holding Xu Yang's hand, this seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man with slender eyes was full of admiration and greed, "I have heard the name of Guigu for a long time, but I have never seen it, and it is really a blessing to meet him today!" Wu Yuanshuang complimented.
"I heard that Guigu and my father have some friendship?"
"Hmm...... There are some business contacts, and the private friendship is not very deep...... "Xu Yang has no time to take care of this scumbag at this time, and when he looks behind him, he can see three young women, who are really young and beautiful, and their skin is like snow.
"The three of you are the Wu sisters." Xu Yang directly ignored Wu Yuanshuang, walked past him, walked to the side of the three women and asked.
The eldest Wu Shun bowed down and made a standard salute and said, "If you go back to your nobles, the three of us are officially the three sisters of the martial arts." ”
Xu Yang glanced at the three of them lightly, two of them were red, and only a twelve or thirteen-year-old woman looked resolute, Xu Yang guessed that this must be the queen Wu Zetian, who was famous in the world and proud of ancient and modern times.
Eleven or twelve-year-old Wu Zhao is not as ruthless as described in later novels, her eyes are very ethereal, as clear as a girl, at this time, she is still an ordinary girl in the boudoir.
In short, this meeting that is destined to be recorded in history did not make Xu Yang feel shocked in the slightest, the only thing that Xu Yang cared about a little was that the three Wu sisters looked really good, no wonder Li Zhi could take a fancy to them in the future.
"Nowadays, the upper and lower levels of the martial arts mansion are no longer a safe place for you, those cousins and relatives of your martial arts family do not have the slightest good impression of your three sisters, if you don't mind, I want to invite you to settle in my mansion, it just so happens that I have built a Zhuangzi on the back mountain of Xujiazhuang, which can be used by several of you sisters to live." Xu Yang's words were very sincere.
The eldest sister Wu Shun had already shown a grateful look, but Wu Zetian, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, "There are no benefits in this world for no reason, why do you want to take care of us?" ”
The corners of Xu Yang's mouth showed a hint of a smile, and sure enough, it was still the smart Wu Zetian.
"I promised your father to take care of the four of you unconditionally, by the way, where is Mrs. Yang now?"
Wu Shun hurriedly replied: "Just pack up your things in Wu Yuanqing's house in Beifang." ”
Xu Yang didn't say much, snapped his fingers, turned his head and walked towards the car with black smoke behind him, then opened the car door elegantly, and said to the three sisters beside him: "Okay, now please get in the car, let's go pick up your mother ...... together......
