Among the nine grandsons of Tangmen, the marriage of the eldest Xintian and the third Xinjie is the most headache for the grandmother. The boss's eyes are higher than the top, and the flowers are not in his eyes. And the third child, at the age of two or three, was betrothed by his father to his daughter Lan Xin, who was a friend of trouble. But because the Lan Xin family was later transferred to the east, he hadn't seen Xinjie for many years, and he was extremely repulsed by this fiancé who had never met in his mind, and had a private affair with his father's staff, but he didn't know that the staff still had a wife in his hometown, but he was far away from his hometown, and he couldn't stand the temptation of Lan Xin's beauty, so he got along with Lan Xin, but he couldn't marry her as his wife, and with Lan Xin's status, it was impossible to marry his father's subordinates as a concubine. When he was 17 years old, his aunt finally accepted the reality that her husband would never come back and went to Wutai Mountain to become a monk. Before leaving home, she left the Baihuatang that she and her grandmother had established to house and help orphans and widows. Due to many years of semi-wandering life, the seventeen-year-old Xinjie is extremely independent. Years of wandering with his aunt have made his personality very complicated, open-minded with melancholy, cheerful and occasionally with a touch of sadness. He has made the best use of his aunt's true inheritance in literary talent and martial arts, especially in medical skills, not only familiar with various classics, but also experienced countless cases with his aunt outside, and has quite a lot of experience. Xinjie didn't want to return to the Tang family in the northwest or his father to be looked at by Mrs. Tang, so he spent most of his time wandering outside, wandering the rivers and lakes, of course, he also helped the grandmother to take care of the operation of Baihuatang in various places, although it was a bit strange for a big man to take care of and take care of these women and children, but Xinjie felt that one was to help his grandmother, and the other was to help the weak, so he was willing to work hard for it. But the old grandmother felt very sorry for him, and when he was twenty years old, she decided to marry him back to the orchid girl, but she didn't know that the sedan chair sent an orchid that was about to give birth. Xinjie couldn't stand it anymore and refused to worship the church. The people of Lan Xin's mother's family also felt that she was too embarrassed, and they wanted to throw this trouble to the Tang Sect, so they didn't take Lan Xin back to her parents' house to live.

Among the four young students of the Tang Sect, Xinjie was excluded by Mrs. Tang, did not have too many industries under his own name, and had no status in the actual business of the Tang Sect, and since the incident of Lan Xin, he has become as complex and often contradictory as his personality in treating women. He understands Lan Xin's empathy and farewell love very well, after all, although the two have been married since childhood, they have never met. However, he really can't accept Lan Xin's past, let her reluctantly be his wife, after all, he has never had feelings for her, so he is unwilling to tolerate it, in his own words, he is not yet bold enough to bear the fault for the person he doesn't love. But at the same time, he is sympathetic and tolerant of Lan Xin. Although he didn't marry her, and didn't allow her to step into the Tang Gate, he tolerated Lan Xin to live in a small courtyard where he lived with his aunt in Xianyang, gave birth to her illegitimate child, and sent someone to send enough living expenses every month.

In his eyes, the perfect woman and his ideal partner should be his aunt before his uncle's disappearance, benevolent, elegant and noble, knowledgeable, and by no means a selfish and rebellious person like Lan Xin. He didn't know if he would be able to meet such a woman in his life, but after what happened to Lan Xin, he would rather wait and meet slowly, and he was no longer willing to talk about marriage with someone he didn't know. Xinjie is the most handsome of the Tang brothers, and he has strong martial arts, and he learned to compose music and play the piano and flute from his aunt and uncle. He often followed his friends or literati in and out of wine shops and prostitutes, and would also chant and sing with these people, play the flute and play the piano, but no matter whether it was a woman who knew each other, the geisha in the hook column had had a tumultuous and flirting game with him, and he did not meet anyone who made him tempted. After sunset, he prefers to sit quietly in his study drinking tea and reading a book.

Perhaps because of the care and help she received when she was most vulnerable and in need of help, Lan Xin thought she was in love with Xinjie like a life-saving straw, and forgot the embarrassment she had brought to Xinjie, and talked to herself as his wife, leaving her original lover in her mother's house out of the clouds, and began her pursuit and unreasonable entanglement with Xinjie for more than four years. Xinjie has repeatedly explained to him that it has no effect. As long as Xinjie takes a step out of the Tang Gate, in Xianyang City, it is possible to see Lan Xin appear in front of him like a ghost at any time. In order to be out of sight, he had no choice but to start wandering the rivers and lakes again, half to inspect the branches of Baihuatang, and on the other hand, to avoid Lan Xin's ridiculous pursuit. But even so, Lan Xin sometimes appeared in front of him unexpectedly. She would often hand over the child to the wet nurse, ignore it, and then chase Xinjie to a certain out-of-town branch of Baihuatang. Because Baihuatang was established by my aunt and grandmother before she met my uncle to help helpless women, children and orphans, and in most places it was self-sufficient by running nurseries and gardening, growing various spices and selling them to Baicaotang or other pharmacies, so most of the managers of the branch halls in various places were mainly women. Every time Xinjie goes to a branch court, in Lan Xin's opinion, he has some kind of adultery with the steward there. She turned every steward there into her imaginary rival, often making trouble. Every time, it almost ended with Xinjie losing her temper and sending someone to escort her back to Xianyang.

The appearance of Meilian is undoubtedly the biggest blow to Lanxin. After she appeared, when she was in the Tang Gate, she often studied the classics with Xinjie. Later, her grandmother assigned her to be the chief steward of Baihuatang, helping him deal with the chores of Baihuatang, so that he could have more time to deal with various affairs in Beijing, study various classics together, or have time to run his own business. After getting acquainted with Baihuatang in several areas around Xianyang, Meilian began to follow Xinjie to visit each branch one by one, and stopped in the capital together, helping him plan all the details of the Aoki Tea House in the capital, and opened the largest tea garden in the capital of the Aoki Tea Society. Lan Xin was taken back to Liaodong by her father after an unsuccessful attempt to shoot Mei Lian by the Tang Gate in Xianyang, but soon after, she returned to find Xinjie again, and found them in the capital, and her hatred for her deepened, and finally led her to join forces with the nine-tailed fox again after being extremely disappointed, jealous and crazy, and administered the world's strongest and most bizarre medicine Thousand Days of Ecstasy without Mei Lian's attention.

Tonight, Meilian vaguely felt as if it was coming again, and lay quietly on the bed thinking about her and Xinjie's past. She also sometimes wonders why she fell in love with this man, she is a person who has been in the middle of the sea. has always had no desire for men, and the tempering of the court has made her exhaust the ordinary people's yearning for marriage and a happy life. Whether it is the former prince Yixiang, the current prince Yiyi, the princes who have been with him, the Tang Sect is suave and the cheerful young master Xintian, there is no feeling of temptation. But she fell in love with this man, and in that very bright dusk, not long after meeting him in Xianyang City, a large group of people sat in his Aoki Tea House drinking tea and chatting, but he sat in the corner for some reason, and the extreme melancholy and loneliness in his eyes deeply touched her.

Later, he told her that at that moment, he was thinking about his mother and her tragic death, and that Marien had always felt that Xinjie suspected that his mother had been assassinated, and although he never admitted it, he never denied it.

His biological mother, Yu Yanyan, is the daughter of Yu Zhenxiang, the big boss of Yumen, before Xinjie went to Jiangnan Yumen this time, although she knew that he was the grandson of the big boss, but she didn't know that he was the only grandson of the big boss, and Yu Yanyan was the only daughter of the big boss. It stands to reason that the only daughter of the Yuda family should be a top-notch figure in Jiangnan, and the matchmakers have broken through the threshold, but she met him when Master Tang transferred Jiangnan to help dredge the canal. As the largest Jianghu sect and trading company in the south of the Yangtze River, Yumen naturally had to participate in the fund-raising and artificial donation of the canal, and Yu Yanyan often dealt with Tang Lan as the liaison of Yumen at that time. The human, material, and financial resources involved in the canal dredging are too complex. Tang Lan was a popular man among the military generals of the dynasty, and the nephew of the emperor back then, he was so upright that he was almost upright, and he offended many people in the process of cleaning up old accounts and operating new projects, some were officials, some were businessmen, and some were in collusion with officials and businessmen. When these people were anxious, regardless of Tang Lan's status as a military general and the identity of the emperor's relatives, they plotted against him several times. Yu Yanyan has been managing affairs in Yumen for many years, and she is quite experienced in the rivers and lakes, and she has saved Tang Lan's life many times. At that time, Tang Lan had been married for many years, and his wife was now Mrs. Tang. Mrs. Tang came from a family of military generals in the court. Tang Lan originally thought that the young lady of the military general family was more open-minded than ordinary women, easy to deal with, and would not coax and hold it all day long. But when he really passed the door, Tang Lan realized that it was not like that at all. Maybe it's because there have been no major wars in this dynasty for a hundred years, and the generals have been assimilated by the habits of the capital. Mrs. Tang has the squeamishness and arrogance that most of the big families in the capital have, and she has a bigger temper than ordinary women. Fortunately, he has been stationed in the field for many years or training soldiers, and he has very little time in the capital, and his wife is domineering or mean at home in the capital, and he can't see it. Except when he returned to Beijing to report on work or run errands, he rarely went home. But strange to say, although they rarely go home, but in just three years, they also added a son, Tang Xintian. Xintian is very similar to Tang Lan in both appearance and personality. Perhaps because of Yu Yanyan's events and lessons, Mrs. Tang's temper gradually subsided in the following years, but the calculation and meanness in her heart did not change much.

In the midst of a helpless marriage, Tang Lan met his ideal woman Yu Yanyan in Jiangnan, cheerful and bold, and kind, always thinking about others, of course, very beautiful, there are no ugly girls in Yumen, this is a fact for many years. Originally, such a dream lover was already very exciting to him, not to mention that this person saved his life several times. In terms of martial arts, Tang Lan is also a top master in the rivers and lakes, and the commander of the army is also an understandable talent. But most of the time he was either in the court or in the army, and he was not too experienced in all kinds of tricks, evil calculations, etc., so thanks to Miss Yu to come to the rescue. But in terms of the relationship between men and women, Tang Lan is a person who has come from the past after all, and Miss Yu is what he dreams of, so he naturally won't let it go. Although Miss Yu assists in many affairs in the Jade Gate, she has a lot of experience in the rivers and lakes, but she is emotionally simple, maybe her status in the Jade Gate is too high, and ordinary people dare not look forward to it, if there is no Tang Lan's appearance, she may be a matchmaker, marry a person who is the right person, or her father will choose a son-in-law for her in the Jade Gate. In general, Miss Yu does not have too many scruples in the handling of feelings and relationships between men and women, and is a person of temperament. When she accepted Tang Lan, she had no hesitation, she didn't care that he had a wife and children, and was willing to be a concubine. But Yumen couldn't afford to lose this person, so Yuyanyan was kicked out of Yumen.

After the new outstanding birth, Yeon-yeon still can't be forgiven by the head of the jade family. But Yu Yanyan's mother couldn't worry about her daughter after all, and often sent people to secretly visit and send things to her grandson. On Lady Jade's birthday, Yeon-yeon decides to secretly go home to visit her mother. For the sake of getting in and out, she didn't bring her 10-month-old Xinjie, but she never returned. Two days later, Tang Lan's subordinates found Yanyan's carriage and Yanyan's unrecognizable body under a cliff in Huanglong. No one knows what happened. But Xinjie has always been skeptical. The weather was fine that day, and my mother had a special skill, ...

Because Xinjie was too young, Tang Lan couldn't afford to take care of him by herself, so she sent him back to Xianyang and asked her grandmother to take care of him. Before the age of six, Xinjie lived a happy life with his grandmother in the Tang Gate, loved by his grandmother, and really liked by his aunt, who had no children of her own, and regarded him as her own flesh and blood, and he also regarded her aunt as his mother to a large extent.

When Xinjie was six and a half years old, an accident broke Xinjie's peaceful and happy childhood, and that was the disappearance of his uncle. Ever since she married her aunt, Bai Hua has helped manage some of the Tang Sect's trade in the Western Regions, mainly medicinal herbs and pharmacies in the Northwest. One autumn night, the caravan carrying medicinal herbs and the daytime Hua disappeared on the way into the vicinity of the capital, and there were many traces of fighting along the way and the corpses of the pharmacies escorting the guys, but Bai Hua was never seen. With the status of the Tang Sect in the rivers and lakes and Bai Baihua's martial arts, this is a very strange thing. In fact, this incident is only part of the "Seven Moves Incident". That year was the year of the imperial examination, and all the students from all over the country were admitted to the Beijing examination. At that time, the empress, that is, the current empress dowager, although she had considerable power and supporters in the imperial court, did not have the absolute right to speak on the issue of establishing the crown prince, and whether her son Prince Yi could inherit the unification was not completely settled at that time. Competitors are lurking around, waiting for an opportunity. The biggest competitor for the crown prince is the son of Concubine Li, Prince Hao. Prince Hao bribed seven people from all over the world, and reported in different places, at different times, and in different ways that the examiner had accepted bribes and missed questions to them. The two examiners of that year, one used to be the teacher of Prince Yi and Prince Hao, and the other was a minister relied on by the queen. When the teacher was teaching in the palace, he never favored Prince Hao. Concubine Li designed to let him leave the position of prince and edit the historical manuscript in the Hanlin Academy. In order to settle the dispute, the emperor also let it go. The purpose of the Seven Juzi Incident was to deal a comprehensive blow to the power of the empress in the court.

Coincidentally, one of these seven moves was actually a distant cousin of the minister who was invigilating. Before the incident, even he didn't know it, the comedy is that after he raised it, the old man in his hometown learned that he had caused a lawsuit, entrusted a lot of several layers of relationships, came to the capital for activities, and actually went to the door to find the minister he raised, whether he regretted it after knowing it, I don't know, but what he said inadvertently made the queen seize the handle, get the person out of the prison, and detain him for trial, after obtaining a complete confession and evidence, he presented it to the emperor in front of the queen. On the one hand, Tang Lan already led the forbidden army to control Prince Hao and all the people who were dealing with him openly and secretly. The Tang Sect sent many masters to respond to the attack everywhere. Prince Hao also collected a lot of high-ranking people in the rivers and lakes back then. Without the masters of the Tang Sect, ordinary forbidden troops are no opponents at all.

The younger sister's Tang Sect was naturally the queen's strong backing in these battles. Whether it is the connections in the rivers and lakes, the talents of the literary attack and martial arts, there is no one else who can match. The Tang Gate was also the empress's largest source of financial support at that time. Bai Baihua was actually in the Western Regions most of the time, and that time he entered Beijing only because the other people from the Tang Sect were busy helping the queen to fight back against the Qijuzi incident with all his might, and he really helped to enter Beijing to do some business things, and he chose the route and time of freight into Beijing, and he also avoided the queen. I plan to go to the garden of the Tang Gate in the west of Beijing to live first, and then enter Beijing after the queen's affairs are fully completed. So there was not much vigilance at the beginning. But the other party saw him as a new force to support the empress in Beijing, and attacked them on the way. Originally, with Bai Hua's martial arts, it was difficult for ordinary opponents to succeed, but the other party mistakenly thought that he was the main force in Beijing, and judging from the traces of the scene, there were at least three or more top masters. It was they who dispersed their forces to attack Bai Baihua's caravan in the Tang Family's West Garden outside the city, so the forces in the city were dispersed, allowing the queen to hit with one blow and cut off all the forces of Prince Hao in the capital. At that time, the emperor was a trouble-free person, no matter how lively the fight between the two sides was, as long as he didn't have to hit him directly and asked him to make a decision, he was just like no one, happy to let go. Since the queen brought down Prince Hao with reason, he also pushed the boat down the river and entrusted it to the queen with carte blanche to deal with it.

Although the queen was victorious, she was very unhappy to let her sister's son-in-law have an accident, so she sent the forbidden army to search everywhere with the people of the Tang Sect, but she was never found. At that time, the Tang Gate poured out, and under the leadership of the old grandmother, he dealt with the affairs of these Prince Hao in the capital, while the aunt stayed in Xi'an to guard the Tang Gate. After Bai Tianhua's accident, my aunt rushed to the capital from Xi'an, and began a nearly ten-year search for her husband. Xinjie is a witness and witness of the whole process. When the aunt began to go out to look for her uncle, the Tang Sect in Xianyang lacked young housewives. After all, Mrs. Tang is already a grandmother, and her status and identity are not suitable for daily affairs. Usually these family affairs are handled by her aunt, although she is married to Bai Baihua, but because the Bai family has no other relatives in Xianyang, the young couple will help take care of them in Tangmen all the year round. Now that there is a lack of housewives in the family, Tang Lan decided to let his wife go back to the Tang Sect in Xianyang to help take care of her. Although Mrs. Tang is not very good at being a person, she has no mother-in-law to wait in the capital, and she is obsessed with the luxurious life in the capital, but as the eldest daughter-in-law of the long house, unless she doesn't want her status, it is a matter of time before she goes to Xianyang. Although extremely reluctant, I still went to Xianyang. After arriving in Xianyang, Xinjie became her bone spur, choking there every day, restless sleep. Grandma and Aunt are very shrewd people, so they arranged for Xinjie to follow her aunt on the road.

When my aunt didn't miss her husband, she was a very elegant, noble and wise person, she and her uncle were well-read, proficient in medicine, and of course also well versed in the martial arts of the Tang Sect and the Bai family. Although he was running around on the road to find his uncle's traces, his aunt never let Xinjie's studies be wasted. I often get up early to read and practice before eating and on the road. My aunt and uncle traveled extensively for the first two years of their marriage. So my aunt also took Xinjie to every place where they had good memories, hoping to wait there for my uncle's appearance. In each place, they will stay for as little as ten days or as long as half a year.

Along the way, although his aunt took care of him, he was also the only person his aunt confided in on the road, the only perennial companion.

In Xinjie's eyes, my aunt is a perfect woman, and the mother in my aunt's mouth is also perfect, for the sake of affection, she is so persistent and pays without hesitation. My aunt may not really know her mother, but according to her understanding of feelings, she drew a Yeon-yeon that she understood, and implanted this beautiful image into Xinjie's heart. And his father seemed somewhat indifferent in Xinjie's eyes, he felt that he didn't love his mother so much, at least he didn't protect her well. And I don't care so much about myself. However, it is difficult to say which child Tang Lan cares about or which child he doesn't care about, he has three children, except for Xintian, who is relatively old, and often followed him to do things in his early years, and now Xintian can basically stand alone, and in the handling of many things, he can do better than him, and now he is running back and forth between Xianyang and the capital, and the one who has more contact with him is Xiao Jiu. Xinjie is the least child he has ever seen, firstly because he is outside with his aunt, and secondly, he may think of Yeon-yeon when he sees him. No one ever knew what Tang Lan was thinking after Yanyan's death. He was really sad, but he didn't do anything special to find out why his wife died. did not alienate Mrs. Tang because of this. At least, after Yanyan's death, they still have the child Lao Jiu. Xinjie sometimes really wonders if his father really loved his mother, or if he really loved a woman. In his opinion, maybe the father didn't know love at all. Sometimes even the grandmother sighs that Tang Lan doesn't seem to be her son. Xinjie believes that his mother's blood in his body makes him more eager for true love.

Xinjie is a cheerful, kind and optimistic person by nature, maybe this is the manifestation of the character of the old grandmother and the character of Yanyan's mother. Xintian, Xinjie, Fourth Brother Xinyuan and Xiaojiu Xinye all have this chic and sunny nature. It's just that Xintian has experienced more rivers and lakes and seems to be older, while Xinyuan and Xinye have experienced less, and they seem more cheerful and humorous. The other brothers, especially the two older sisters, are more like their respective mothers, more rigid and even rigid. Xinjie's childhood experience may have made him conflicted, sometimes extremely chic and humorous, cheerful and bold, sometimes extremely melancholy and lonely. The sunshine of the brothers made Mei Lian admire, but what moved her heart was the deep melancholy, which allowed her to spend her life warming the person who seemed unusually cold when she was depressed.
