+++++++++++++++++++ the demarcation line of the trip to Luoyang (I) (above).

The days go by quickly, and in the blink of an eye, Xinjie has been back for a while. During the day, he and Lian'er were very busy, Xinjie needed to handle some affairs of Baicaotang on behalf of Xintian, and Lian'er also helped him tidy up Baihuatang. In the middle, Lian'er also went to the hospital twice for consultation. She changed the time of the consultation from once every five days to 10 days. In the evening, Xinjie also needs to urge Lian'er to continue practicing her sword dance and various other self-defense skills. When they were done, they all had to sit together and read books, especially the Sanskrit medicine books that Xinjie had read very confused before. The days passed in a smooth and warm way.

On this day, he was discussing with the people of Baicaotang, and the subordinate sent by Yiyi to Xianyang City to do things for him suddenly came to visit and handed him a short message. The content surprised him a little, to the effect that the queen had received a letter from her mother's family, Kangning Houlan's family, to arrange a marriage with the queen's niece. For Yiyi, it is naturally a good thing to let his friend marry his cousin, but he understands Xinjie, if he is not happy, it will be a bad thing. So he sent a letter to the ward to prepare him. Xinjie felt depressed about this, when did he fall into the eyes of the queen's mother again? Could it be that he sent someone to follow him at the gate of Luoyang City? Whether it was or not, it didn't matter to him.

He didn't write a letter, but spoke directly: "Annoying Brother Tai is urgently sending a letter to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at this moment, I dare not obey my fate for marriage, I have been engaged to my cousin Miss Bai for life, and I will never leave this life." ”

Although the people who came were a little surprised, but they had more contact with the prince, and they all knew that he was a man of temperament, and with a sweetheart, it was not surprising that he directly rejected the queen's maternal family, and the prince's maternal uncle's family was married. It is no wonder that the prince sent the letter in an eight-hundred-mile hurry. Obviously, I was worried that it would be too late, for fear that everyone would lose face.

At the same time, Chen Biyan also received an urgent letter from the Queen Mother in Beijing, of course, the main content is Liu Zhizhi, not a marriage, but just a sentence by the way, to give the third child the right to choose freely. She naturally understood that the meaning behind this was that she didn't want this marriage to happen. Although Chen Bihua's position as the queen mother made the Chen family and the Tang family develop, they were very low-key and restrained. Moreover, the vast majority of the Tang family still relies on the Tang family's own military exploits and Chen Biyan's long-sleeved and good dancing business.

In the past few years of the Lan family, although Kang Ninghou has been scheming and dormant deeply, he also let Lan Banghua stay away from the capital with his family, ostensibly not joining the ranks of right and wrong, but at the same time, he also put the queen and the crown prince out of the way. Putting aside the indifference of family affection, it is more for the calculation of the Lan family of the Marquis of Kangning. On the surface, the foreign ministers seem to be fair and low-key in the battle for succession who do not join the court, but the essence is selfish calculation. The more calculating a person is, the more he has a strong desire for power. Once this kind of person gains power, he will not stop being greedy, and at that time, not only will the Tang family and the Chen family, who have conflicts of interest with them, be in trouble, but the court and the people may be implicated.

That's it, this thing can't be done anyway, don't worry about it, but when should the marriage between the third child and Lian'er be told to everyone?

At this time, the owner of Luming Academy, Mr. Wang Zemin, a native of Luming Mountain, was waiting for someone to find out whether Tang Lan, the head of the Tang family, was in the city or Tangzhuang today. The old marquis of the Lan family is Wang Zemin's old acquaintance in Beijing back then, although the Lan family is easily unwilling to help others, but over the years he has insisted on making friends with Qingliu, Luming Academy has not only become famous in Guanzhong and Kansai over the years, but also has many children in the court, and the Lan family has also deliberately befriended the Wang family in recent years, Wang Zemin also feels that he has a pivotal position in the Kansai scholars. If the descendants of the Wang family want to return to the capital, it is an opportunity for each other. The Wang family has also had a lot of contacts with the Luoyang Liu family over the years, as a Hongru in Kansai. Mr. Liu's sudden visit early this morning surprised Wang Zemin. Although he and Mr. Liu are equally famous in Kansai, Mr. Liu is the father-in-law of the Marquis of Kangning in Beijing, and he is also a close relative of the queen and the prince in the palace. This is the closest family to the clan in Kansai besides the Tang family. A person with such an identity entrusted him to protect the media, which can be regarded as giving him face. Naturally, he had to plan well and say it.

A while ago, at the banquet in Tangzhuang, several children of the Wang family participated, and after going back, they had to talk about it, most of them said that the young master of the Tang family was decisive in killing and strong in martial arts. But after all, they are people of two worlds. To put it bluntly, he is a rough man. In the eyes of the Wang family, no matter how prosperous the Tang family is, several sons of the Tang family have a reputation for being talented in Xianyang, but they are just rough martial artists and lowly businessmen in their bones. Even if several sons of the Tang family have meritorious service for escorting during the autumn hunt, and the royal family has rewards, they are still martial arts, and from the court, they are not important positions. And Tang Sanshao did not enter the court as an official except for the identity of the prince's staff, and he had no job in white. So when Mr. Liu came from Luoyang to ask him to propose, he was very surprised.

Mr. Liu's visit must have communicated well with the Lan family in Jingzhong, and even with the approval of the queen and the prince in the palace. Does that mean that the third child of the Tang family will have a good future? Recently, there are some rumors in Xianyang, there are many big families who want to say goodbye, and they agreed to let the brothers take their granddaughters to attend the banquet in Tangzhuang, this idea has also flashed, that is, it flashed, he felt that those small families in Guanxi had never seen the world, and felt that it was a great thing that the prince's staff might bring their families into Beijing to see the world. Although Tang Lan is an official residence, after all, he has been scattered in Kansai for some years, and if there is no war, he may not be reused by the emperor again. The third child once got married, even if he did not worship the hall and entered the cave room, but remarrying is to fill the house, everyone in Xianyang City knows that he is a prodigal, if the granddaughter of his Wang family marries the past, he originally felt wronged, but now it seems that he miscalculated. If this third child is just an ordinary staff, the Lan family or the Liu family only needs to repair a letter to entrust him to propose marriage, if it becomes the lord's care for the staff. And this time, Mr. Liu personally dispatched it, which was bound to be obtained, obviously not a gift, but a kind of co-optation, and it took a lot of effort.

This means that for the Wang family, this is not a simple media, but an excellent opportunity to further the relationship between the two families. "Come on, go and ask Wang Kai, has the post of this Hanfang Poetry Club been sent out? If not, be sure to send one to the second master of the Tang family and the young masters. After this is done, let Wang Zhong and Wang Kai and the others come to me. ”

Uncle Niu, the old family member at the door, was stunned for a moment: "Master, at this moment, several young masters and young ladies are all attending classes in the academy." ”

"Whatever you're doing right now, let them come."

Tang Lan was busy all night in the left avant-garde, and just sat down in the study of the old mansion in Xianyang, and the housekeeper handed over Wang Zemin's greeting post and the invitation card of the Hanfang Poetry Club. On the surface, he was idle and comfortable, and even the family business was completely handed over to his mother and adult sons, and he didn't ask about it, and often went out of the city to visit the mountains and rivers, but rarely walked around with the local gentry officials. This kind of invitation is at most a few sons and brothers who are vassals and elegant to invite their sons, and it is rare to invite him. Although he is almost invisible in front of everyone, but the duty of the guard makes him quite familiar with the major families and family heads in Kansai, this Wang Zemin has pretended to be high in the self-pride, and now he is showing goodwill, he just smiled faintly. Hanfang Poetry Club, it just so happens that he and Xinjie need an introduction to do something, this is just right.

Lian'er was looking through an old codex that the ancestors of the Tang family had brought back from the Western Regions that she and Xinjie had found in the study, and it contained various Western Regions poison doctor witchcraft spells. With a burst of plum fragrance, I saw Liu's mother coming in with a flower basket.

"This is sent by the young master, let the girl, you choose a set of dresses for Ming'er to go to the Hanfang Poetry Club of Luming Academy, and after you have chosen, let me take it to his room with the plum blossoms and smoke it. He said that this plum is cold, don't break the sweet fragrance of roses in your house, just put it in his house. ”

Lian'er was a little puzzled for a while, but since she believed him, she couldn't question him in front of her subordinates, so she got up and chose a set of aqua blue plain skirts for Liu's mother, and then continued to sit down and read.

Mother Liu took it respectfully, thinking in her heart that this white girl was transparent, and she could understand and guess most of what the young master said, and she didn't ask much, let alone be embarrassed. It stands to reason that this choice of incense and clothes is a woman's decision, and the young master never cares about these details in ordinary days, Today is so special, there must be his intentions, and the ordinary heroine will definitely ask two more questions? Seeing her expression, she definitely didn't know before, but after being puzzled for a moment, she knew what the young master meant.

Xinjie was busy for most of the day, and when he rushed back to Tangzhuang, it was already the second watch, in order to be afraid of going back to freshen up and disturb her, he went to the martial arts hall to wash off the dust and filth before returning to the courtyard, and unexpectedly found that Lian'er was not reading in her room as usual, but in his room. The quiet smile washed away his day's busyness and troubles. The fragrance fell into his arms, and he couldn't help it. But she grabbed his wrist that reached into the dress: "You have something important to deal with tomorrow, the other party is afraid that it will not be easy to deal with, rest early to recuperate." ”

"How do you know that the other party is not easy to deal with?"

"I didn't give you much of a trace of rosemary, you must have used it in an important place. And if you want to use the two of us to test the medicine, I'm afraid it's not simple, you know that I only like the plum in the outdoor air conditioner, but you have to put it in the warm room to mix, if it is not troublesome, you will not drag me. ”

"I know I can't hide it from you. We haven't been together for two nights, so give it to me first, and you can help me with my luck later. He didn't stop as he spoke, and the food was already in his mouth.

"You used to use green bamboo powder in this house, and now you have put it in Lamei,... ... Tomorrow we're the two of us in the biggest medicine bag. ”

"Don't be afraid..."

"If the other party is a master, and we are separated, I am afraid that I will not be an opponent, after all, I have been practicing kung fu for a shallow time."

"My woman, I will naturally be well-maintained, I am afraid that he will not do it...... This plum blossom really works..."
