Chapter 169: Tang Family Brothers and Sisters
A four-horse high-speed car with a Nanmu canopy drove into the Tang Mansion, Tang Wei walked out of the car with a pair of high-toothed clogs, fluttering sleeves, and a cloak scattered, like a madman of the Jin and Han dynasties, staggered into the front hall, and said to the old housekeeper with a smile: "What about Xiao Qin, have you left?" ”
The old housekeeper of the Tang Mansion couldn't help but laugh and said, "I just left in disgrace after being scolded by the eldest lady." Third Young Master, you persuade the eldest lady, it is really a bit ...... to treat Gongzi Qin like this Ahem......"
Tang Wei shrugged and said, "Persuade? How to persuade the law, up and down the house, who doesn't know that girl is rude? The male Ding of our Tang family is thriving, since the generation of beating my father, this man has been stunned and has never been born, that is, there are few girls, and there is such a girl in my life, those grandparents all treat her as a baby, who dares to provoke her. Okay, okay, I'll go and coax her to go. ”
Tang Wei ran to the back house like a duck with a pair of clogs, and when he arrived at Tang Yanyan's boudoir, he knocked lightly on the door and said loudly: "Yanyan, why did Xiao Qin make you unhappy, tell the third brother." ”
As he spoke, he pushed the door and went in, and saw Tang Yanyan sitting on the edge of the couch, his little mouth was high, and he was sulking there. Tang Wei smiled and went over to sit down next to her, hugged her shoulders, and said with a tight smile like a buddy: "What are you angry about, Xiao Qin hasn't been angry with you these days, just ignore him, how can you still be angry." ”
Tang Yanyan glared at the apricot eyes and said, "This girl is angry when she sees him now, okay?" ”
"Okay, okay, why not." Tang Wei sighed and said, "Then you say, what kind of anger did you have, just because he went to the Qinglou with us last time?" Sister, you really have to look away from this, and you still expect him to be tied to the waistband of your trousers? He genuinely likes you, and that's it. It's inevitable to be out there, man, ah...... Right? ”
"Oh!" Tang Yanyan said angrily: "I am angry when I see him now, but I am not going to visit the Qinglou at him, but I can't get used to him." Before, I didn't think anything of it, but now the more I look at it, the more I think this guy is shallow and boring, what will he say when he sees me? It is to talk about how the Tang and Qin families are right, if the two of us become relatives, it will be the icing on the cake, the two families will be stronger, and I will be happy if I am the young lady of the Qin family.
Am I happy? How does he know if I'm happy or not, it's called happy? If you look at other people, although they come from humble backgrounds and do things that worry about the country and the people, they have a heart of great benevolence and righteousness, affection and righteousness, and they speak more flavorfully than him, 'If you are heaven in your heart, then it is heaven in hell.' If you are hell in your heart, then heaven is hell as well. 'Listen, can Qin Yiyun say such a mysterious thing, hum! With such a person, even if he eats and sleeps in the open air, he works hard every day, he also finds it interesting, and with this ambitious guy, it is really boring to talk and boring, he is simply a heaven and earth compared to others, how can you not make me annoyed? ”
"Hey, little sister, this person you are talking about...... Who is it? ”
"He ......"
Tang Yanyan's face turned red, her eyes were a little dodgy, seeing Tang Wei's eyes squinted, full of a narrow expression, she became annoyed and angry, and said arrogantly: "I want you to take care of it!" The person who said this is an ancient sage, of course you don't know if you don't know it, let me ask you, I asked you to help me teach that Yang Qincha a lesson, did you help me do it? ”
Tang Wei withdrew his hand, lazily lay down on his sister's incense couch, pillowed his arms with both hands, and pulled a pair of super-long thighs on the ground, humming: "I went, I went tonight." ”
Tang Yanyan became nervous, she looked at her brother, bit her lip, and hesitated for a while before asking in a low voice, "Are you really going?" ”
"Well," Tang Wei said weakly: "Not only did I go, but also Weizhong, Weixin, Fang Yuan, Li Zehao, and their sons all went, alas, this toss, get up and sit down, sit down and get up again, but we are tired." ”
Tang Yanyan's face turned a little pale when she heard this, and after a while, she suddenly gritted her teeth and pinched Tang Wei's thigh, Tang Wei jumped up with a "snort", and said in pain: "Oh, oops, it hurts me to death, what are you doing my little ancestor?" ”
"You...... You...... Who told you to beat him like that, people...... Do people just tell you to scare and scare him......" Tang Yanyan snorted, her eyes were red, and tears began to fall down, she sobbed and said: "There are so many of you, and most of you have practiced martial arts, what if you break someone." He's all down, and you still have to fight, how can you bully people like this, what are you doing, ......"
Tang Yanyan stood up with tears in his eyes and said, "I'll go see him, if you really break him, I'm not done with you." ”
Tang Wei shook his hair, rolled his eyes and said, "Who said we started beating him?" You're such a great mallet when you're your third brother. Anyway, he is also a Qincha, if he doesn't look at the face of the monk and the face of the Buddha, how can I beat him? Isn't that asking for trouble? ”
"Uh......?" Tang Yanyan was surprised, hurriedly rolled up his sleeves to wipe his tears, and asked, "Then what did you say to sit down and get up again, get up and sit down again, and still tire you to death, isn't it...... Didn't he get up and fall down when he was beaten? ”
Tang Wei smiled bitterly: "Of course not, we were tricked by him to stand up and sit down, sit down and stand ......up again, alas, I originally wanted to go to Qunfang Pavilion tonight to find fun, but I was completely disinterested by his three bows as if worshipping the dead." ”
Tang Yanyan burst into laughter, thought about it, suddenly glared at the apricot eyes again, and roared: "You take him to the Qinglou?" ”
Tang Wei hurriedly waved his hand and said: "It's not me, it's me, it's the kid who is Zhe Weizheng, who would think, I found a few Jiangnan women, I thought that I could enjoy the warmth of a water town woman tonight, but I was disturbed by Yang Hao, so I had to go home separately, it was really boring." ”
Tang Yanyan said complacently: "I'll just say, he is very different from you gentlemen. ”
Tang Wei glanced at her, and suddenly said, "Little sister, do you like that Yang Hao?" ”
"Huh, I like him?" Tang Yanyan scoffed and dismissed.
She glanced at her brother, suddenly snorted, and asked with some weakness: "Brother, am I so obvious?" ”
Tang Wei shook his head and said, "It's not too obvious." ”
Tang Yanyan breathed a sigh of relief, and listened to Tang Wei say again: "If you are blind, you have to listen to what you just said to understand; If you are deaf, you have to look at your expression to see it; If you are blind and deaf, then you will only suddenly realize when you smell the smell of resentment. ”
Tang Yanyan was ashamed and angry, he raised his leg and kicked, Tang Wei dodged and laughed.
Tang Yanyan flattened his mouth and complained with tears in his eyes: "Brother, people like him, but he doesn't like people." What do you say, people...... Everyone has confessed to him, and he has lost the old man......"
Tang Wei snorted, took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, and said, "Why are you crying, the people of our old Tang family, what do you want but can't get?" Here you go! ”
Tang Yanyan wiped his tears and took it, and asked inexplicably, "What is this?" ”
Tang Wei said proudly: "Spring ~ medicine!" ”
Tang Yan was ashamed and angry, and said angrily: "Get out of your turtle big duck pear, how can you give yourself such a thing as a sister." ”
Tang Wei said disapprerovingly: "What does it matter, the result of the two lovers is actually the same as the result of the overlord's hard bow, according to your third brother and my many years of experience in the rivers and lakes, I think the second method is more direct and effective." When he becomes your man, hehe, if you have mercy on him, just be kind to him. ”
Tang Yanyan puffed up his chest and said, "Who am I, Tang Yanyan?" If you like a man, you have to like me willingly. Based on my appearance and character, I don't believe that he is not tempted, doesn't he say that women chase men, and the veil is interlayered? Hmph, I'd rather put down my body now and whisper to him, these grievances, there will always be a day to settle accounts with him, this kind of indiscriminate means, you Tang San'er only made it, my Tang Da girl doesn't care about it at all! This thing...... How do you use it? ”
Tang Wei stumbled and almost didn't lie on the ground.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※As soon as Tang Wei came out of Tang Yanyan's room, he saw his second brother Tang Yong standing at the door, and when he saw him come out, he immediately pointed to his lips and made a silent movement.
Tang Ying turned around and said, "Third brother, I just came back, and I heard that my little sister scolded Yiyun away again, so I wanted to come to persuade her." ”
He frowned slightly and said, "How can you encourage her to like that Yang Qincha." Our Tang family is based in the northwest, and we are only ranked third among the four major families, if we marry with the Qin family, then our Tang family will immediately become the head of the four major families, and the future power will inevitably expand even more. Besides, from a personal point of view, Yiyun is actually a good match, what the hell are you doing? ”
Tang Wei's smiling face was gone, and he said solemnly: "Second brother, you are not at home these days, I have discussed the future development of the Tang family with my eldest brother." ”
He picked a bunch of grapes with a raised hand, threw one into his mouth, and continued: "Second brother, the Tang family can't only focus on the northwest in the future, they should take a long-term view and look at the Central Plains. ”
Tang Yong's expression moved slightly, and he asked, "How do you say this?" ”
Tang Wei said: "Zhao Guan's soldiers sent the Northern Han Dynasty, although this time it was a vain return, but the Northern Han Dynasty has existed in name only, even if the Khitan people take care of it, I am afraid it will not last for a few years." Once the forces of the Great Song Dynasty reached the Northern Han Dynasty, our northwest would be half surrounded by him. I think you also know that not long ago, the official family added the official title to General Zhi and General Yang of Linzhou, and asked them to enter Beijing to be officials, which is a sign that the official family wants to subdue the northwest.
Even if the official family has the Han in the north and the Tang in the south, they will not use force here for a while, it will only be a matter of time or night. The general can only solve the temporary crisis by raising bandits for self-respect, and wait until the official family frees up their hands...... What to do? Therefore, we have to get in touch with Kaifeng as soon as possible and do business in the Central Plains.
The Qin family and the Zhe family are in-laws, and they have always been much closer than us, if the little sister and Yiyun become relatives, then our Tang family will be completely marked with the mark of the Zhe family, if you want to serve Kaifeng, I am afraid that you will also have to recruit officials to be afraid of suspicion, this marriage is just the icing on the cake, and it is of little use. Once the Zhe clan refuses to give up the northwest and meet the imperial court, we will be implicated, and it is better to leave as soon as we are now. ”
Speaking of this, he smiled, put the grapes in the hands of the second brother, who looked seven points similar to him, and said: "If we have established a connection with Kaifeng, we will meet the source of both sides, won't we be more reliable than now?" The little sister had a bad relationship with Qin Yiyun, which was also good, so that she was distracted and liked others, and she completely broke the thoughts of the Qin family. The division and integration of the children will not make the Qin and Tang families hostile. As for that Yang Qincha, the eight characters haven't been skimmed yet, if it really happens, it's good that the little sister is happy, he is a cronie of the official family, and our Tang family also has one more way, why not. I talked to my eldest brother about my idea, and he agreed with me. ”
Tang Yong understood, nodded and said: "What you said makes sense, being prepared for danger in times of peace is the way for the family to survive." He frowned, and said, "But...... You're too nonsense, how can you give your little sister an aphrodisiac, it doesn't matter how you mess around outside, but at home, being a brother always has to be a bit of a brother. ”
As soon as Tang Wei wanted to explain, he heard a roar from the little sister's room: "Tang Wei, you are a thousand-knife killer, and you actually used the 'Diet and Spleen Strengthening Pill' to scold me!" ”
When Tang Wei heard this, he hurriedly slipped away. As soon as the door opened, Huo Di flashed a pretty figure, Tang Yong couldn't escape, he simply squatted under the grape trellis ......※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ the post station, Ye Zhixuan was blocked outside the door, and he was not taken in until Bi Su got the news and rushed out to greet him. Ye Zhixuan complained and said: "Although this son is a flat-headed commoner, but this time he is working for the Qincha, and he is also half a public man, those dog-eyed things that look down on people, they don't let me in." If it weren't for the Qincha's order to let me send someone to come back to see him in the future, I wouldn't have been too lazy to come here to suffer the bird's anger of those villains, and I have money in my pocket, what kind of inn I can't afford to live in? ”
Bisu smiled: "Okay, okay, don't complain, isn't our Qincha also in a hurry, and there are no tokens to hand over to you." Qin sent to the banquet, came and came, came to my room to rest first, and drank tea together. What happened to those people, Qin Chake has always been concerned about them. ”
Bisu said: "Speaking of that place, it's really good, the wild grass is abundant, and the fertile fields are thousands of miles." There are mountains and waters, lakes and islands. In my opinion, it would be easy to resettle another 100,000 people. Li Yuanwai had already rushed to the mountain to dig a cave and build an earthen wall on the mountain. They set up dozens of large pots to boil glutinous rice soup, and the walls built in the loess were said to be so hard that they could be used to sharpen knives.
This work is easy, the house is built quickly, but most of them have not been baked, a little damp, fortunately it is summer, if you want to live in it, you can go in and live, if you don't want to rest in the field first, and then move in after the moisture is scattered. Alas! I see that I am really envious, the house built with almost no materials, and I turned around to ask the court for money, but the bricks and tiles and wood are all counted, and Li Yuanwai earns a lot of money, and it is still easy to make a fortune as an official backer. ”
Bisu smiled: "What do you envy, this time you ran for the Qincha, didn't you also rely on an official?" Even if Yang Qin doesn't go to Guangyuan to be an official, the imperial court newspaper will praise you a lot, are you afraid that the officials of Guangyuan will not take care of your family in the future? ”
Ye Zhixuan turned his anger into joy, and said with a smile: "This is reasonable." But...... Everything is good in that place, but there is something wrong, I heard the old man who claimed to be surnamed Mu said, he said that the place is bordered by Linzhou in the north, Fuzhou in the south, and Xiazhou in the west, and it is at the junction of the three forces, once there is a war, the boundary will bear the brunt, I'm afraid...... Not good land. ”
Bisu said movingly: "There is such a thing, when Qin sends back, you must remember to tell him about this one." As the two were talking, Yang Hao had already returned by car.
Yang Hao retired from the table drunk, and as soon as he returned to the post station, Bisu took Ye Dashao into his room. The three of them sat down, listening to Ye Dashao's introduction of the situation there, Yang Hao couldn't help frowning, and slowly paced in the room.
Ye Zhixuan added: "The seventh department of the party is making trouble, and the old man surnamed Mu said that the Yeli clan in the eighth department of the party is the closest to the Luling River, and it only takes two to three days to travel by fast horse. This clan is the most arrogant, and tens of thousands of Han people suddenly appear in the Luling River, I am afraid that they will have trouble in the future."
Perhaps ethnic minorities have a special affection for the number eight? The Khitan had eight divisions, the party had eight clans, and the later Jurchens had eight banners. Compared with the Khitan Eight Divisions, the development of the Eight Clans of the Party is relatively stable, the first of the Eight Clans of the Party is the Tuoba Clan, and the only one is the Qiang people, they were originally Xianbei people, speaking of distance and proximity, in fact, they are closer to the Fold clan of Fuzhou, and the ancestors are from a source, all of which are Xianbei royal families. However, after the fall of the Northern Wei Dynasty built by the Xianbei people, the Xianbei tribe withered day by day, and the Tuoba clan gradually integrated into the Dangxiang Qiang tribe.
Among the eight clans of the party, the Tuoba clan has the smallest number, but they used to be the royal family in the Central Plains, which not only maintained the fierceness of the grassland tribes, but also had the political and economic acumen that the backward Dangxiang Qiang people did not have, so after integrating into the Dangxiang Qiang clan, they came to the top and became the head of the eight clans of the party, and the real Qiang people of the remaining seven tribes were under their rule.
There are differences in their ethnic cultures, and the Tuoba clan is too ruthless to exploit the other seven tribes, so the seven tribes often rise up to rebel, and if they win, they will vent their anger, and if they can't win, they will admit defeat, and wait until the next time they can't bear it anymore and then rise up to rebel again, and so on, and so on, it has become commonplace.
There is no doubt about the courage of the Seventh Department of the Party, but the lack of weapons and grain and grass, the lack of unified command, the lack of a commander who can really lead the overall situation, and the fact that a plate of scattered sand can fight no matter how much it can fight is not the opponent of the Xiazhou Tuoba clan.
Yang Hao listened to Ye Zhixuan's words and had thoroughly understood General Zhe's intentions. General Zhe was worried that the repatriation of these Han people would be unfavorable to him, and if the imperial court sent a liuguan to shake his foundation, then he would have to borrow a knife to kill people and eradicate this force at the junction of the three forces. If the imperial court doesn't want to use these tens of thousands of people to shake his foundation, then he might as well support it and support a pro-Zhe clan buffer force among the three forces. Avoid direct conflict with party members. But in this way, weren't those people of the Northern Han Dynasty who had managed to escape from the catastrophe put on a crater that could erupt at any time?
Yang Hao pondered for a long time, Huo Di raised his head, and said word by word: "Early tomorrow morning, I will go to see the Yong'an Festival to stay behind...... Fold the Imperial Palace! ”
