Snow dance plum blossoms

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++ the dividing line of the Snow Dance Plum Blossom (I).

The winter of the sixth year of Xingyuan was particularly cold. Because of Yixiang's rebellion in the capital, the people associated with it were all imprisoned, waiting for Dali Temple to verify. The government and the opposition in Beijing are in a downturn and boring atmosphere. And in this cold winter, there are only a few mansions that are quite lively, including the Tang family's mansion in Beijing. Because of his meritorious service in the hunting ground, the eldest young master of the Tang family, Xintian, was named the fourth-rank imperial guard, and the ninth young master Xinye was named the fifth-rank imperial guard. They are allowed to temporarily disperse at home to honor their parents, and the court can be called up at any time when necessary. Tang Xinyang not only had meritorious service in escorting, but also achieved outstanding results in training the special training camp of the Imperial Forest Army, and was promoted to the rank of four-grade junior general. For a time, these handsome and outstanding young people once again attracted the attention of the backyards from the court to various families and official families.

Among these people, the fastest response and the first to come to the door were Xintian and Xinye's maternal grandfather, Dongting Boli Peak, who was sensitive to the current situation. Although the Li family was born in the army, but the Li family in his generation, there are many women and few children, he has six sisters, he is the first man in the family, and his grandmother loves him very much. Since he was a child, he has been in the circle of aristocratic children in the capital, and he is quite long-sleeved and good at dancing. At the age of sixteen, he followed his grandfather's placement into the barracks, and also stayed in the Jibei camp for a while. But when the soldiers are outside, although the chief general is also quite careful, but it is inevitable that there will always be bumps and bumps, and my grandmother was afraid that he would have an accident, so she asked Lao Dong Tingbo to ask for the title of his son, and transferred him from the border back to the Beijing Central Military Department to serve as an idle post.

Li Feng didn't like to stay in the barracks, let alone have no interest in making contributions and creating his own world, so he was happy to return to Beijing early and continue to enjoy himself. He had already married before he went to Jibei, but his wife had no children except for giving birth to a daughter, and after he returned to Beijing, he used this as an excuse to carry many women to the family from room to room. Strange to say, all of these women, except for one woman he brought back from the troupe, only gave birth to daughters, not sons. So the Li family raised this son Li Baoju with all the stars and the moon.

Li Feng saw very early on that their ancestors were born from the dragon and the hereditary shadow of the family, because their children were idle and had no meritorious achievements, they had long been ignored by the emperor, and many families had come to an end, and even the emperor had taken the title and became ruined. If you want to live a quiet life, and if you want to maintain prosperity and wealth, you must be able to operate. In addition to the industry, the most important thing is to stand in the right place in the DPRK and the Central Committee, and to match the in-laws at home, so that you can be prosperous.

When Tang Lan first debuted, he saw that this person was not ordinary, and decisively married his eldest daughter to him. Sure enough, he lived up to his expectations, promoted all the way, and became a second-class general in the official residence. Although Dong Tingbo is also a second-class uncle, but this uncle is not the other uncle, Tang Lan and the Tang family's status in the emperor's mind, the queen mother and the emperor's trust in him is very comparable.

Of course, he never bet his treasure in one place, and the concubines gave birth to more than a dozen daughters for him, all of whom he gave to people who he looked as promising. Wu Zhao, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, is another. However, people are not as good as heaven, Although Wu Zhao has had a smooth ride over the years, but with Yixiang being imprisoned for life by the emperor's decree and Gao Deqing being exiled to Yulinwei, some people jumped out to accuse him of abolishing the prince's party. His other son-in-law, Shi Ming, the head of the Ministry of Rites, was also impeached together. Regardless of whether Wu Zhao Shiming can keep his official position this time, Li Feng has already concluded that his future has stopped. Although he can be said to be the water spilled by his married daughter, the affairs of the Wu family have nothing to do with him, but in essence, he still gains and loses a lot. On the other hand, the Tang family is thriving, relying on those future generations who are competing, I am afraid that it will be beautiful for a long time.

Now his descendants have long been spoiled people, and if he does not plan for his children and grandchildren, he is afraid that his family will soon be defeated. Li Baoju gave birth to two sons, Li Renda and Li Renyuan. Although Li Renyuan is a concubine, he has been fighting since he was a child, and he left home early to enter the Imperial Forest Army to seek birth. And the son Li Renda has no other skills, but he is not lost to his father when looking for a woman, and there are seven or eight concubines at home, and there is an outer room outside.

The day before yesterday was even more outrageous, In order to save face for a singer in Tianyin Pavilion, he beat the merchant who was accompanied by the big shopkeeper of the Tang family's Ping'an Inn in the capital. He thought he was Mrs. Tang's own nephew, but he was just a slave of his aunt's family, so he shot and left. If it weren't for the fact that the little guy who went out with him was the son of the old butler, and came back and felt that it was not right, he told the old butler about it, and the old butler came to tell him, but he didn't know it. Fortunately, the Tang family's family rules are extremely strict, and the subordinates have special rules, and they don't fight back. The big shopkeeper of this Ping'an Inn in Beijing was also a well-known good hand in the rivers and lakes, and if people didn't fight back, they didn't look at Mrs. Tang's face. Li Feng knew very well that although his daughter had been Tang Lan's only wife in the past few years, she was not effective in the Tang family. At the cusp of this storm, if the Tang family is divided again because of Renda's relationship, it will be even more difficult to help Dongtingbo Mansion in the future.

After thinking about it for two days, he decided to send another woman to Tang's house to help Mrs. Tang. Li Baoju has a daughter Li Jinchun, not to mention her outstanding appearance, but also smart and clever, able to speak well, and her embroidery is outstanding, and she is favored by the ladies in Beijing. In the early years, although he saw that several children of the Tang family were good, especially those who were known as the four young people of the Tang family, he felt that they had a casual temperament, did not like to enter the court as officials, had no future, and had no effect on the Li family. Although his daughter has been asking him to help Xintian find beauties in the capital in the past few years, he has never considered marrying his granddaughter.

Now that the brothers of the Tang family have a special seal from the emperor, he decided to promote the marriage of Sister Chun and Xintian. So he took Renda and Sister Chun to Tang's house, saying that it was to congratulate his cousins. This Sister Chun kept thinking about how to escape this marriage all the way. Her mother is the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Jingping, and she herself has been loved by her grandfather since she was a child, and she always wants to marry into a wealthy family. Although the cousins of the Tang family are all handsome and tall, they have no merit before, and they can't earn glory such as a shadow seal for her, and she has sensibly known since she was a child that she will not marry this kind of person. Since she was a child, she was mixed with the children of the nobles in the capital, and was sent by her family to the Yuelin Academy, where the children of the family gathered, and she was very familiar with the sons and grandsons of the princes and princes of the princely mansions. Where can I see that it was just a cloth cloth, and this is just a few cousins who have just been sealed as a little official. She has been in frequent contact with Lin Weixin, the son of the Yasukuni Mansion, recently, and is thinking about marrying into the Yasukuni Mansion and becoming the Duchess of Jingguo in the future. However, the Tang family can't be offended, after all, they are close to the queen mother in the palace.
