Volume III-5 Reunion of the Old Man (I) (I)
The old people are reunited
Reunion of the Dead (I) (I)
Just as a group of Lan family members were returning home from the palace, a fast boat sailed into the Gyeonggi Province dock. A middle-aged man in Tsing Yi hurriedly stepped down from the boat, got into the car waiting at the dock, and drove towards the city.
"Where is the young master now?" The middle-aged man lifted the curtain and asked the driver in front of him.
"Just now, a brother came to deliver a letter saying that he went to the Prince's East Palace, and a brother was guarding the door, if he came out, someone would immediately take him to our Qingyufang."
"Are we going to Qingyufang?"
"Yes."
"Go to the East Palace instead, and wait for him directly at the door."
The coachman was stunned for a moment, then turned around and headed for the East Palace.
In the car was the left protector of the Jade Gate, Zheng Qiang, one of the right-hand men of the Jade Master. He frowned all the way, his fingers tapping on the stack of stickers placed on the seat on his right. The head of the jade family sent him a very headache task to persuade the young master to choose a wife. A few days ago, as soon as the news from Jingli reached Jiangnan, the head of the family became angry. Zheng Qiang thought that it was the head of the family who was angry because someone dared to touch the young master's fiancée, but later found out that it was because the young master was angry for not listening to persuasion.
immediately summoned Zheng Qiang and asked him to bring this stack of Geng posts into Beijing, and let the young master choose a wife in this anyway, and let the women around him be small. Zheng Qiang didn't think so at the time, thinking that the young master's choice of that woman as his wife must be what he liked, and forcibly let him change people, how can he be willing? But the boss has a point, let the whole world know that he loves a woman, and that woman will become his weakness. That's when the killer of the Leopard Tower wants to kidnap the woman to contain him. Zheng Qiang wanted to say at that time, Master, didn't you also have a soft spot for Mrs. Zhangmen back then, and other women couldn't look down on it? But he still didn't exit, after all, the original head lady's maiden family was strong in Jiangnan and the capital, and no one dared to hit her casually. The young master's mistake was not in choosing the woman he wanted, but in choosing an orphan girl who had no father or mother and no support for her mother's family. Regardless of whether the young master will continue to stay in the imperial court in the future, or return to Yumen one day, this young lady will not only not have the help of her mother's family, but will become a burden to him. From this point of view, Zheng Qiang still agrees with the leader's point of view. But these grandparents are really very similar, just as stubborn. Although he didn't deal with him directly, several other old people around the head of the house had mentioned the young master's perseverance, which was difficult.
Xinjie came out of the East Palace and saw Zheng Qiang, although he was a little surprised, but he was not surprised. Nodding indifferently, he refused to go to Qingyufang and took him to Yuehuaxuan. After entering Yuehuaxuan, Zheng Qiang knew that he had fallen into the pit, This young master is a very difficult opponent to negotiate, and even the negotiation venue is controlled in his own hands. Half an hour later, Zheng Qiang walked out of Yuehuaxuan amid the respectful send-off of Yuehuaxuan and his men, ran to the dock again, and went back to report to the head of the house that he had already expected the failure. And the point he wanted to tell the head of the family the most was not to let the marriage ruin the relationship between the ancestors and grandchildren, Yumen needed such an outstanding young master. Although he was defeated from Wen to Wu in less than a tea time in the first encounter, it made him confirm the young master's ability and rejoice for the future of Yumen.
And the other bigwigs in the capital of Qingyufang Yumen waited for Zheng Qiang not to come, but after getting the information that Zheng Protector had returned to Jiangnan, everyone looked at each other. How many big things are the rudder in Beijing, and the Dharma protector came without any inspection and instructions, just for the sake of the young master who didn't know if he would return to Yumen is a marriage, so he hurried away desperately, and several elders were quite unhappy in their hearts. A few people tacitly understood each other, Maybe it's time for Yumen to change.
Xinjie instructed some things in Yuehuaxuan, and then returned to the official room of Pingluan Pavilion, thought about it for a long time, called Chen Cheng to give instructions, and then went back to Guifang Xiaozhu on Nanqin Road. When I entered the door, I saw Lian'er sitting in the water pavilion in the courtyard, with several rows of porcelain plates in front of the table, containing all kinds of fat powder, obviously busy with the affairs of Baihuatang. Because he walked without a sound, and the people in the family had hinted at him, they didn't make a sound, and Lian'er didn't know that he was back, and was still intently checking the contents of the porcelain plate in front of him one by one, while recording something in the music book with a pen. With a focused look on his eyebrows frowning slightly, he saw that Xinjie was distracted for a moment. As the third young grandmother of the Tang family and the proprietress of Yuehuaxuan, she is not short of money, but she gets up early every day and is busy with the affairs of Baihuatang. I have worked hard to open a pleasant fast, and it is estimated that the money I earn will soon go into the account of Baihuatang. He shook his head gently, This woman, I don't know when she will have herself in her heart.
A warm feeling came from behind, and Lian'er realized that there was someone, and before she could turn her head, she was surrounded by a familiar embrace.
"What are you up to?" He said and leaned softly behind her.
"The newly honed jasmine pearl powder and rouge these days, the capital is dry, and the southern recipe is not good here, I specially added some mutton fat paste..."
Before he could finish speaking, he was swallowed into someone's stomach.
In the Huayan Post House, which is a day's journey away from the capital, Princess Jing'an is dragging Xintian and asks him to accompany him to the town. Ever since Tang Sanshao took that woman away, Jing An had noticed Xintian's mood change. Jing'an is a person who does not admit defeat, she doesn't feel that she is inferior to the orphan girl of the Bai family, soft grinding and hard bubbles, Finally, the clouds open and see the moon, and Xintian is a little closer to her. And also hinted that she could agree to the marriage, although Jing An knew that it might be because of the Bai family's departure, which made Xintian finally die, but she was not a stingy person, since she got what she wanted, it was enough. She also knew that it was not a matter for her to stay in Kansai for a long time with Yiyan, not to mention that her father's health was deteriorating, so she asked Mrs. Tang to agree and asked Xintian to send them back to Beijing.
She didn't expect that Mrs. Tang was very reasonable, not only let the Xintian brothers escort her, but also laughed and joked with her, the old woman understood what the princess meant. Originally, before coming, the queen mother had said that the Tang family would not necessarily agree to this marriage, after all, the Tang family was closer to the Chen family. The young lady in charge of the Tang Sect will control a large amount of power in the Tang Sect in the future, and will not be easily handed over to outsiders. If the Lan family is taboo, the Tang family may not agree to this family business. It's just that after she arrived in Kansai, she found that Mrs. Tang was different from what her mother described, not only perceptive, but also very open-minded, and her children and grandchildren liked and trusted her. On many occasions, it is said that the marriage of grandchildren is not about the right family, but only about the young people who have a good relationship with each other, so that the two can live a good life. When Lan Ruoxue had an accident, she once doubted whether she could achieve her goal, but soon Mrs. Tang mentioned during a tea drink that the Tang family would not choose Ruoxue, and her personality was not suitable for the third child. She thought about it carefully, indeed, Lan Ruoxue's personality is very difficult to get along with.
So when he left Kansai, Jing'an found that he not only liked Xintian, but also liked the Tang family's atmosphere of caring for each other. In the palace and the capital, how many people are moving for profit, and there are many transactions between people. And what she saw in Kansai was that the Tang family may be very ruthless to enemies outside the Tang Sect, just like executing those assassins of the Shangyuan Lantern Festival, without mercy, but for the family, there is no utilitarianism, no calculation, and the brothers help each other. Even those who are disabled for the Tang family's efforts will be supported in Wabao Village, and their children can also enter the Tang family's home to learn literature and martial arts. Compared to the indifferent imperial palace, Tangzhuang is simply a paradise.
When she left Tang Zhuang, this princess, who seemed a little heartless in the eyes of most people, actually had tears in her eyes, holding the hand of the old lady of the Tang family and refusing to let go.
Along the way, she relied on Xintian so much that she didn't want to follow him all the time. Thinking that he was going back to the palace tomorrow, and for a while he couldn't follow him so closely, Jing An was sad. She knew that the next step was to persuade her mother to arrange the marriage. It's just that whether the queen mother has an opinion about the Tang family after Lan Ruoxue's accident, she still doesn't know. But she's an optimistic person, the queen doesn't agree, and the grandmother, there's always a way for them to agree. Thinking about it, she pulled closer to the handsome man next to her with a smile on her face.
"I don't know which little girl's skin, so bold, walking like this on the road with a young man." Two men were sitting in a roadside teahouse, drinking tea and eating snacks, looking at the street scene and discussing.
Due to the distance, Jing An didn't hear them talking, but Xintian's ears were very good, and for some reason, he felt very uncomfortable for others to talk about Jing An, so he looked over coldly.
"Hey, did that little white face actually hear us?" One of them asked the person next to him.
"It's not that godly, we're a street away from them."
"Cut, you have such a loud voice, if you are a master, you will definitely be able to hear it."
"I'm a little white face, with fine skin and tender meat, can I be a master?" As he spoke, he raised his hand and squeezed it in front of him, making a rattling sound. I saw that the two hands, the joints were thick, and the two joints of the index finger and middle finger were bulging out like stones, a sign of hard work and hard work.
The man next to him was a little disapproving: "There are many masters in the rivers and lakes, and some people are deeply hidden, let's be careful." ”
"Brother, you're just too careful." He continued to crunch his hands, and at the same time looked at Xintian fiercely: "This one is a weak scholar." I just don't know what that little girl's skin looks like, but this back looks okay. ”
"These two are not from the town, they should be passing by."
"It's just right to pass by, I'm tired of playing with those girls in the town, change the taste." said and looked at Xintian lightly, as if saying that the master is the woman who has taken a fancy to you.
"Brother, don't make trouble, although the clothes on this woman's body are not expensive, but they are also fine silk, maybe they belong to a big family, don't cause trouble."
"Is there anything our brother is afraid of in Huayan Town?"
