+++++++++++++++++++ You and I Will (IV) (I) the dividing line

Gao Shitao held a teacup and looked at the dark garden outside the window and did not move for a long time. Dream Shadow had already reported Yihua's affairs to him in detail. But the master didn't speak, and after the dream shadow finished speaking, he didn't know what to do, so he could only stand there stiffly and wait.

A cup of tea turned from hot to cold in his hand, and slowly brought it to his lips and felt a chill. He closed his eyes, sighed, and placed the cup on the table. Mengying's heart ached slightly, and she couldn't see her master sad. Growing up beside him since childhood, she hopes to do things for him and share his worries. When he was tormented by the blood qi for three to four days, every time the blood qi flipped and brought about three to four days of pain in the limbs and bones, it seemed that every life had come to an end, until one day they finally found the pure yin blood. So she volunteered to go to Yihua's side to protect this antidote for her master.

Yes, Yihua is just the master's antidote and the gas furnace for qi cultivation in her eyes. Now that the master's blood spirit magic has successfully reached the fourth level, there is no need for Yihua, she really wants to return to the master, but the master said that she is still useful, let her keep guarding. This time, Yihua failed to trap the three young men of the Tang family, hoping that she was useless, so that she could come back to protect her master. Such an emotionally stupid woman is not worthy of her service.

"There are still ten days to go on the day of the full moon, tell Yihua that within these ten days, no matter what means she uses, she must bury this Yang-loving Gu in Tang Xinjie's body, otherwise I will retract my promise to let her go free, and make her little white face into flower fertilizer for Aunt Xiong to plant flowers." Yihua's girl has been too arrogant in the past two years, although he doesn't need her anymore, but she actually found no less than ten little men but didn't say a word in front of him, thinking that he was blind.

Dream Shadow heard Aunt Xiong's flowers with goosebumps all over her body. Over the years, the master has gotten a lot of all kinds of deadly insects out of nowhere, and Aunt Xiong also came with these insects, and the flower fertilizer she used was all living people, and the insects were raised on the living people, and the insects fed on people, and Aunt Xiong's yard was full of stench and broken limbs. She believed that the so-called Yang-loving Gu contained in the box that the master was handing her now must also be a kind raised by Aunt Xiong.

She more or less understands the master's character, if Yihua can't do it well, will she, the person who supervises the execution, also be thrown by the master to make fertilizer? Thinking about the chill in the back of her head, she trembled and said: "Master, I don't think Yihua has that ability in this matter, if you see how Young Master Tang played with her between her metacarpal bones that day, and then threw her to the two guards in disgust, you know that I am afraid that she will not have the opportunity to get close to Young Master Tang in the future." ”

"This is Yihua's business, you don't have to worry about her. She was moved by the man, so she looked stupid. The Yihua county lord of the Zhuang County Wang family is a dominant figure in the shopping mall, and once she is not trapped by love, she will be smart. Just leave it to her. ”

Gao Shitao didn't look back, but he seemed to have read her through: "You don't have to be so nervous, this impotence Gu is not interested in women." When the woman holds it in her hand, it is like a small wax plum petal, motionless. Go ahead, let her live in time. ”

Dream Shadow had no choice but to leave quietly.

Gao Shitao still didn't move, standing quietly in front of the window thinking about the arrogant man who was light and calm, and everything was not in sight. It is rumored that he is lustful and amorous, does not seek progress, spends all his time drinking, and is the most useless one among the descendants of the Tang family. If it was true, how could he let go of Yihua's kind of food, and how could a man who could escape from Xiangxue congealed fat be an unbearable person.

He still remembered the first time he met him in the capital, he was low-key and indifferent at the banquet of a group of nobles in Beijing, sitting quietly at the stone table next to the bamboo forest, and the corners of his lips were slightly raised to listen to a group of half-grown children who were about the same age as him to talk nonsense without knowing the sky. Due to his special status, Gao Shitao has been trained how to observe and control people since he was a child. He had to know all the people around him, very early, out of disappointment with his father, his grandfather passed the power of the Hou Mansion over his father and handed it over to him, he had eyes and ears all over the country, so he knew better than anyone else present that the quiet and handsome young man, when he didn't know about his peers and didn't know how to make a living, began to silently build his own business and cultivate his own strength.

The evening breeze blew his dark hair and swept his pale brown cheeks that had been tanned by running around all the year round, and he casually brushed his hair back to his head, raised his head slightly and closed his eyes to meet the warm summer breeze, with a look of satisfaction and relief. The light brown face is slightly sideways, and the angular facial features set off a face that seems to be carved out by skilled craftsmen. For the first time, he felt that a man could also be described as beautiful. The wind also pressed the thin Hangzhou silk summer coat to him, faintly showing strong muscles, and the resolute and broad shoulders seemed to be able to support everything. At that moment, Gao Shitao was a little stunned. He had the illusion that he was a woman as soft as a boneless, unburdened by his heavy burden, leaning on his solid chest, encircling his narrow waist, bathing in the breeze with him and enjoying the moment of leisure. Then he was annoyed and even shy about his hallucinations, and did not dare to come to his side and talk to him.

Every time I saw him after that, he was either lazy or humorous, occasionally radiant, no matter which one he was, he was so charming. And when these images reappeared in his dreams, he just told himself that he was a charismatic person. He had so many responsibilities and pains to bear that he didn't have the energy to think about anything else.

His subordinates all knew that Yihua was his medicine furnace, and he used her blood to detoxify and her body to practice qi. His subordinates all felt that he was a kind person because of the way he handled Yihua, and he didn't need her anymore, he could let her go, and only he knew the real reason. At the beginning, he was still a little interested in that body, and as his power broke through the second layer and entered the third layer, his thoughts about that matter were just to practice. After breaking through the fourth layer, he had no interest at all, no matter how beautiful she was, how provocative she was, when he didn't exercise his skills, he wouldn't have any reaction. He used to think that it was because he was numb from watching too much, and he was not interested in changing to another woman.

He promised to set her free because she had brains, the title of county lord and the palace of Zhuang County. He had seen her presumptuousness with his own eyes when he had just set her free, but he didn't have any feelings for that picture, but he saw that person in Yuehuaxuan in the capital half a year ago, he was surrounded by two bewitching women, and he had an urge to tear those two women apart. Then he did just that, disfiguring one woman and throwing one into a nunnery, and the other on a military pay cart to Lianghu Road. The world in Beijing is complicated, passers-by are in a hurry, and suddenly there is a daughter of the master of Guanglu Temple, and the sister of a soldier is a nun who is a monk, and people are talking about it for a few days before being covered up by other new events. No one mentions it anymore, and does that person know that the fate of these two stupid women was changed because he smiled so kindly at them?!

Although many facts later proved that the man's smile was only at the customer in his store, the two stupid women were still valuable, at least they verified his own heart. Since then, Gao Shitao has spent a lot of manpower and material resources to follow him and probe him, originally just trying to figure out all his strengths, his preferences and his weaknesses, so that he can take down that person. He once thought that if one day the great cause could be accomplished, he would protect that person under his wings, no longer let him have the trouble of being a concubine of the Tang Sect, he would not be looked down upon, and he would give him the most decent and noble life. To his surprise, for more than a year, he had lost quite a lot of manpower in tracking and detecting that man. The more mysterious it is, the more it tugs at him, making it impossible for him to stop. When all the clues gathered in front of him and his advisers, a bold guess was put forward by Sima Mumin, whom Gao Shitao admired the most, that person was not the apparent prince Keqing, but the head of the secret force that controlled the pursuit of all sides.

If their speculation is correct, he needs that man to be his arm, and he is willing to stand side by side with him on a high place to share in all this.

When he first told Yihua to take down that man, he was very entangled, if Yihua succeeded, they would be able to control that person and the forces he controlled, and become his subordinates. He is as he pleases, but in his heart Gao Shitao is unwilling. In his heart, that is the person he wants to rely on, the person who wants to share the best with him, how can he be involved with the subordinates who will prostrate at his feet in the future.

Since he understood his intentions, he calmly sorted out various factors and confirmed that all the changes came from the Blood Spirit Divine Skill he had cultivated. This divine skill came from the ancestors of the Gao family, but not every generation practiced it, sometimes one generation apart, sometimes several generations, and my father was the one who did not want to practice. After thinking about it, he didn't complain about his grandfather, or the old Xiangyang Marquis, who taught him the magic skills. Everyone has his own fate, and this may be his fate with that person. Since he figured it out, he asked Aunt Xiong to cultivate a few pairs of Yang-loving Gu specifically for him.

Thinking that he would be able to get along with him in the near future, and that he didn't have to wait for the great cause to be so far away, he was in a very good mood, and quickly rubbed his hands, he couldn't wait to see his handsome face, looking forward to his bright and sunny smile. After happily reverie for a long time, he recruited his personal entourage Zuo Yong: "Three things, activate our first-class manpower in Xianyang, and fully assist Yihua's recent actions in Xianyang; Renovate the Castle Peak Garden, replace all tent utensils with new ones, and choose plain colors for all things, using only white and blue; Inform Yuecheng that he is optimistic about Gao Lingmo, and ask Pei Xin to go to Lingnan to bring out Mr. Gao and rush to Luoyang. ”

Zuo Yong was confused, the former and the latter were easy to understand, but why did he renovate the Qingshan Garden, and he also specified those two colors. But the master can't ask questions, no matter what he thinks in his heart, he can only do things at the moment. At the same time, he was a little excited, and the master was finally going to make a move. He was originally arranged by the old marquis to follow Gao Shitao's father, Gao Tong. Since he was eleven years old, he has accompanied Gao Tong to practice under the pseudonym Gao Dong, and the old Hou Ye originally hoped that Hou Ye would be able to do great things, so that the people around them could also ascend to heaven. But Gao Tong gave up these things after meeting his current lady outside. After the little marquis was three years old, the old marquis arranged him to be by the side of this little master, and after waiting for many years, this matter finally started, and he felt that he finally had hope. He suddenly thought about whether he should inform the old marquis about this, the old master had been looking forward to it for so many years, he opened his mouth and swallowed it back.

+++++++++++++++++++ the dividing line between you and me (IV) (Middle).

In the Xiangyang Hou Mansion, the old Hou wife Liu Zhizhi felt disgusted when she looked at her husband's excited expression, but she couldn't show it at the moment, at least she still needed this old guy before Tao'er succeeded. She listened to the old man's endless chatter, and at the same time smeared the snow clam ointment on a pair of well-maintained hands, and was in a rather happy mood. In this life, she finally had the opportunity to trample Chen Bihua, the woman she hated the most, under her feet. Chen Bihua, the woman who ruined her life's happiness and stole her queen's throne, when her Tao'er ascended to that honorable position, she must let her taste all the hardships she suffered.

Seeing his old wife listening to him casually, there was a faint contempt in his expression, and the anger in the heart of the old Xiangyang Marquis was burning, and he couldn't bring it out at the moment. After all, he still has to rely on this woman to reach the pinnacle of power. When he married her and raised the child in her belly, he suffered so many years of grievances, and after experiencing a disappointment in Gao Dong, he almost killed this woman, and now Tao'er finally ignited his hope again, he didn't want to endure it for more than 30 years, and give birth to something in the end.

He humbly shook Liu Zhizhi's hand: "Madam, I have already arranged it over there in Luoyang, as long as Mr. Gao arrives, the north and west will move, and we should also leave for Luoyang." ”

Liu Zhizhi felt a little disgusting in her heart, although this man has not looked for other women all these years, he has relied on medicine to satisfy her, and he quickly escaped to the front yard after finishing the matter, don't think that she doesn't know what the handsome and strong retinue and strategists he raised in the front yard are used for. Ever since she figured it out ten years ago and raised a few delicate guards by her side, she had even saved her medicine. He and she were now just partners in conspiracy, if it weren't for the fact that he held the holy decree of the first emperor in his hand and controlled part of the forces cultivated by the Xiangyang Marquis Mansion with the assistance of the first emperor, she would have eliminated him long ago. How can this humble and nasty man be as good as the person in her heart.

Back then, Brother Qin was so radiant and extravagant. When they traveled hand in hand in Jiangnan, they aroused the envy of many people on the road. Because he was born with cold disease, he was like an ordinary person if he did not have an attack, and even braver than ordinary people, but when he attacked, he was cold, cold, sore, and weak, although his life was worry-free, but it was quite painful. And most of them are winter nights without any warning. After the attack, the palace people have to check through the layers of palace doors that have been handed down to the imperial doctor, which is also very inconvenient and delayed for a long time. Brother Qin told her that Empress Zu and he himself wanted to find a woman from a medical family to wait for him, and maybe these medical families could research a formula to cure his problems. The Liu family calls itself a family of immortal doctors, Liu Zhizhi is confident that the ancestor and the queen will definitely take a fancy to her background, and believes in the promise given to her by Brother Qin, if she enters Beijing to draft a girl, she will seek the permission of the ancestor and let her enter Brother Qin's palace. The head of the Liu family is not naïve and childish, and his daughter asks to enter the Beijing draft, and she must inquire about the matter clearly.

Although the Liu family's way of treating people and healing injuries is weird, sometimes the way of medicine introduction and medicine refining may be too unkind to outsiders, but people in the world often value their own lives, and even more so for nobles in the palace. Therefore, there are also disciples of the Liu family in the palace hospital, and there are also important ministers in the court who have received the favor of the Liu family. The head of the family issued an order, and the disciples and subordinates ran around to inquire in many ways, confirming Liu Zhizhi's statement. And there are many women who have ordered the Liu family, Liu Zhizhi and her medical intelligence and character in different ways and on different occasions, and confirmed the news that the old man is willing to choose Liu Zhizhi as his daughter-in-law if he still feels pleasing to the eye when he sees someone. The important ministers of the court are also quite optimistic about the only son-in-law of the ancestor, and can only value him. The methods of the ancestors have long made the intelligent and kind prince of the harem either terminally ill or unexpectedly gone, leaving behind all those who are unsightly or have handles and stains, or are absurd, dissolute and lustful.

Finally, after some busy planning, everything in the palace was sorted out, and enough work was done before Liu Zhizhi's name was reported to the ranks of show girls. Liu Zhizhi, who missed Brother Qin, embroidered the wedding dress at home for several months, and finally boarded the boat to go north to the capital.

She still remembers that day, the sky was a little gray, which made her feel a little depressed when she went out. But thinking that she would soon be able to see Brother Qin, and that her father had already paved the way for her and dotted all the joints, she felt at ease again. When she approached the wharf, she saw several building boats moored on the wharf, one of which was carved and painted, which was more exquisite in workmanship and materials than the surrounding building ships. She was happy in her heart, Brother Qin really valued her, she sent a letter to ask Brother Qin to send a boat to pick her up, one was to highlight her status and bright future in her hometown, and the other was to reaffirm Brother Qin's importance to her. Although she is mentally mature, she is only a sixteen-year-old girl who has not yet experienced the world, and now she has taken this step, and her heart is inevitably confused and uneasy. Now seeing that Brother Qin really lives up to expectations, she feels ecstatic in her heart. I saw that there were all the guards standing on the side of the gorgeous ship, all of them with solemn expressions, as if waiting for the master to board the ship.

She thought that her carriage would stop at the tread of the ship, but she changed direction halfway through and went to the north to a very ordinary-looking ship, although there were also figures walking around on it, and some people who looked like guards stuck their heads out, but there was neither momentum nor rules. She felt a sense of loss in her heart, and at the same time felt a little angry. In this Yangzhou city, even the family members of the prefect are not more noble than her, you must know that the Liu family has made friends in the court and the close ministers of the Son of Heaven. Regardless of officials and businessmen, the first dignitaries in Yangzhou City are all in the Liu family, I don't know that the one who doesn't open his eyes actually made such a beautiful boat and a neat guard, but he appeared at the dock where she asked several noble ladies in the city to see her off, Isn't this a slap in the face?

How could she endure this breath, and immediately sent the girl around her to inquire which family was not long-sighted, and dared to swagger at the Yangzhou dock like this. Dare to compare Miss Liu, I don't know if they still want to spend this day in peace, or if they still have the ability to leave this water in good health. At the same time that the people were sent out, she had already calculated that it was a small punishment, and she also wanted to let them know that they didn't want to be too ostentatious when they went out, and they didn't want to block the other sisters of the Liu family if they had nothing to do. Before the person who went to inquire came back, she had already come up with a few ways to make the other party look ugly, and she also took out all the medicine she was going to use, and when the girl came back, she would scatter the person. When I went out just now, the eldest brother said, He still has some things that have not been loaded, but he is afraid that he will miss the auspicious time, so he asked her to get on the boat first, and wait slowly on the boat. In that case, she just happened to have a pastime.

It's a pity that the news brought back by the person who came back made her very discouraged, because the other party was not an ordinary person, nor a native of Yangzhou, but a boat from the Chen family that came from Hangzhou and passed by. On the ship was his sister-in-law, escorted by his brother, to the capital to be married. It is said that the eldest man of the Chen family, who is the head of the household, found a good family for his daughter in Beijing. Because the old lady of the Chen family likes to be lively and doesn't like to go to Beijing, the children of the Chen family's house have grown up with their grandmothers in Jiangnan, and now they are getting married, and it is normal to enter Beijing. It is said that the other party is a disciple of a high-ranking family, but because the Chen family is unwilling to publicize it, they have not informed the prospective aunt of the news to the outside world. But everyone is speculating that it is the nephew of the ancestral queen and the eldest son of the family of General Shang Shumu of the Ministry of War. According to the news from Beijing, General Mu has been in and out of Chen's mansion frequently recently, and even Empress Zu summoned Mrs. Chen to inquire about her daughter-in-law.

In the eyes of the Liu family, the Chen family is a nasty existence, who has practiced medicine for generations, but they are not at ease in the medical hall to see patients and accept apprentices, but instead open a nondescript academy. The academy has collected many talents from the south of the Yangtze River, and these people have dabbled in all aspects of the history subset of qin, chess, calligraphy and painting. Over the years, the academy has produced a lot of talents, and there are not only a lot of people who have entered Beijing to take the examination, but also a lot of champions, tanhua and lists. After years of operation, it has woven a comfortable cloud for the Chen family in the court. In Jiangnan, people who want to enter the academy are like carp crossing the river, and everyone wants to take this big boat of the Chen family, so that they can get the protection and support of the high-ranking and powerful fellow disciples in the middle of the court. There is also a medical hall in the academy, which teaches medical skills to those who are gifted and intelligent and have energy outside of studying other studies, and those who have no intention of pursuing a career and love medicine. After these people debuted, not only did they compete with other doctors in Jiangnan, but they also took the lead in the palace and Beijing. Peers are always enemies, no matter how the Chen family views the Liu family, anyway, the Chen family is the enemy in the eyes of the Liu family. Although on the surface, everyone does not interact with each other, and they can treat each other respectfully when they meet on the scene, the Liu family has long taught their children that they will never let go of anyone who can hit the Chen Family Academy.

+++++++++++++++++++ you love me (IV) (II) the dividing line

Just when the girl who returned thought that her young lady was going to be angry or accuse the Chen family for being too flamboyant, she saw a strange smile on her young lady's face.

The head of the Liu family can rest assured that Liu Zhizhi can enter the palace, and he has spent so much manpower and material resources up and down, of course, not only because he likes Prince Qin's affection for her, but also because among the young ladies of the Liu family, Liu Zhizhi is the most talented and scheming. The scheming Liu family naturally knows that the love of men and women can only be an introduction, and there is always Liu Zhizhi who is smart enough to gain a foothold in that kind of place and seek benefits for the Liu family. A man's favor is not long-lasting, let alone a prince, if one day he ascends to the three palaces and six courtyards of Dabao, there are endless temptations.

Liu Zhizhi is going to enter Beijing at the moment, instead of competing with others in Jiangnan, she needs to compete with the various high-ranking ladies around Brother Qin. The Chen family is deeply rooted in the court and the capital, if they can let go of the estrangement between each other, in the distant capital, as fellow villagers, and take care of each other, maybe one day they can really use the power of the Chen family. The more high-profile and luxurious the Chen daughter, the more it shows that the man is noble. If it is really as the legendary Mu Gongzi, associating with the Chen family can climb to the queen of the palace in another way, which is a rare help for her upcoming draft and entering Brother Qin's prince's mansion.

So that night, Liu Zhizhi took the initiative to visit the Chen family's building boat and gave some precious items as a meeting gift. And Chen Bihua also received her very modestly. The next day, the two families sailed to the capital, and at night they anchored in the same place, and the two young ladies visited each other. It was only three days when passing through the Luowu Beach, the Liu family's boat hit the reef due to the mistake of the boatman, deviated from the direction, and then entered a large amount of water, and was washed away in the middle of the river and stranded on the sandbar in the middle of the river. The Chen family's boat came up from behind, and seeing this, they took Liu Zhizhi and her people to the Chen family's boat. In this way, the two get along day and night, reading books, playing chess, stroking the piano and reciting poems together, which seems to be very harmonious.

She thought her dating plan was a success, but she looked back on it years later. Since then, she has been calculated by Chen Bihua. She later remembered that Chen Bihua heard her say that she was going to enter the palace for the draft, but her hand holding the teacup lid and playing with the tea leaves paused slightly. After getting acquainted, she asked Chen Bihua about the relationship between Mu Gongzi, but she just smiled and didn't answer. And when she enthusiastically mentioned Prince Qin, a strange expression flashed across Chen Bihua's face, but she quickly returned to calm. These were things she didn't notice at the time, but when she thought about it later, she thought it was inappropriate. At that time, people just regarded her as an enemy and a joke. Pity her and sincerely want to please her. The hypocritical woman played with her like that back then.

Even after entering Beijing, they met at some gatherings in Beijing, when Chen Bihua's wedding date was approaching, Chen Bihua did not reveal half a sentence to her. Later, she entered the palace draft, and after entering the final round, she heard the palace people privately talking about the princess Qin on the side of a path in the palace, and heard that the new princess not only has a dignified and beautiful appearance, but also has medical skills from generation to generation, and the emperor is very satisfied, and the prince Qin went to Jiangnan in the early spring of that year to see each other in person, and was very satisfied. She originally thought that the palace maids were talking about her, but recalling the beautiful scenery of the two of them traveling together in the south of the Yangtze River in early spring, she smiled unconsciously, and did not pay attention to the words behind the palace maids.

A night of spring dreams is still the beloved person with her, and the sweet dream was not awakened until the holy decree fell after the draft, and she was given to the prince of the Xiangyang Marquis Mansion as the princess. At that time, Fang knew that the medical family that the palace maid was talking about was the Chen family, not the Liu family. But in early spring, it was Liu Zhizhi who accompanied Prince Qin, not Chen Bihua. The prince looked at each other, and it should be her who came back to report, not Chen Bihua. She didn't feel that the Chen family and the Liu family had much hatred, they just bullied each other. But at that moment, she felt an unforgettable hatred. She felt that it was Chen Bi who heard the rumors, and after arriving in the capital, she snatched her brother Qin through the power of the Chen family.

She never thought that Prince Qin might really go to Jiangnan to see the Chen family's daughter-in-law, but she was just accompanied by upside-down beauties in her boredom, so why not. She never thought about how Prince Qin, who couldn't let go of the big position, didn't want to use marriage to increase his strength. Whether it is in the court or in the south of the Yangtze River, what a huge system of disciples and protégés of the Chen family, whoever has the support of the Chen family will win the support of many courtiers and the strength of the rivers and lakes. And the Chen family, which is already large enough, has also become in-laws with the Tang family, gathering more rivers and lakes and businessmen. These are the things that the Liu family will never have.

For so many years, she never asked whether the truth of Prince Qin was the same as she guessed, and she firmly believed that the reason was what she thought, so she truly loved Prince Qin, and even did not hesitate to pay the entire Xiangyang Marquis Mansion for him. The only thing she hates is Chen Bihua, the woman who robbed Brother Qin, but didn't cherish him. This woman made her hate and despise her, because she never received the affection of her husband all her life. Her incomparably noble husband abandoned him after ascending the throne and rejoiced with Liu Zhizhi in front of her. Every time she thought of Chen Bihua's pale face, she laughed wildly.

For many nights, she stayed in the royal courtyard, Chen Bihua dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, and the Marquis of Xiangyang even closed her door in a nest, and seeing her return to the house seemed to be amnesty. Not only did she not dare to ask, but she was afraid that she would not iron it, and waited carefully in every way. This disgusting man naturally became small because of his low prostration, in exchange for the best interests of the Xiangyang Hou Mansion. Now that her Tao Er is finally going to be a big thing, she is very excited when she thinks about it.

"Is Luoyang ready? As soon as Mr. Gao arrives, we will give a big gift to the Chen sisters. ”

"Well, except for the two people who were controlled by them in the Ping An Warehouse, the other hidden stakes are all safe and sound. Most of our people over there are rented Tang family's properties, and they have already made up all kinds of filings in Yamen.

Thinking that it was her own stupidity, she wanted to draw Chen Bi's corpse into pieces.

In addition to the beautiful scenery, there are many farms of gentry and large families. One of them, Zhuangzi, which has the most land and the largest wheat noodle workshop, is called Zhimaizhuang, which belongs to the Guo family, the richest man in Luoyang. The Guo family has been an imperial merchant since the time of the great grandfather, and the old lady Guo is now the seventeenth generation head of the Guo family. This wheat village is the place where the Guo family made their fortune, and the Guo family set up the ancestral hall and sacrificial fields here. Successive generations of heads of families have expanded it to a greater or lesser extent. Whenever there are neighbors around, the Guo family will generally take them in. After many generations of hard work, the wheat village circled into the 40% of the wheat slope, and it took an hour to drive across it.

Although the Guo family's large amount of income over the years has come from the business of being an imperial businessman, the old lady of the Guo family still cares very much about holding the wheat village. Business will go up and down, and the government will change at any time. Although the Guo family's business is large, it may change at any time due to interpersonal changes in the DPRK and China. However, the ancestral hall of the sacrifice field is not affected, if there is an accident, this is the foundation of the Guo family's children. The Guo family was originally a Zhuang family, and no matter how developed it was, it couldn't lose its roots. This old lady Guo admires his neighbors very much.

There is a stream called Jade Creek in the southeast corner of Zhimaizhuang, and there is a Zhuangzi hidden in the bamboo forest across the stream, Jade Village. From the outside, you can see that the village is verdant, and the bamboo forest is surrounded by evergreen trees, covering most of the village. There are many sheds and shelves in the parts that can be seen from the outside and in the water fields by the stream, and various medicinal herbs are planted inside. The Tang family started with a medicine store, no matter whether there is the support of the queen mother in the palace, or whether the Tang family is in charge of the army, this ancestral medicine has not been lost. The century-old family can stand firm in the ups and downs, and it has an unshakable foundation. Other livelihoods are the icing on the cake, and no family children have a foothold. Therefore, over the years, Jade Village has been carefully operated by the Baicaotang head office of the Tang family, and the head of the village is directly under the orders of the Tang family in Xianyang, and the people in charge of the family business in Xianyang often come to inspect, and outsiders rarely have the opportunity to enter to explore the reality. In addition to being down-to-earth, the people of the Tang family are also very modest and introverted, never public, even if they are the younger generation, they are also outstanding. In the past few decades, Old Lady Guo has only had a few opportunities to see the people in charge of the Tang family, and more than half of them have seen the eldest young master of the Tang family, Xintian, every time Tang Dashao will greet him politely with the courtesy of the juniors, and there is no arrogance like that of ordinary children of aristocratic clans. And I heard that in addition to taking care of business, this eldest young master can be literate and martial. The other children of the Tang family heard that they were outstanding both in the army and in civilian officials.

Mrs. Guo has always taught the young people in the family to be polite, steady and humble, but he understands in his heart that most people just listen, and there are many yang and yin, perhaps this is why the Guo family stopped when they arrived at the imperial business, and few disciples in the clan learned from each other, although a few were busy with the family business, but they ate more idle meals.

The adjacent Jinlangzhuang and Luzuizhuang and Jiahezhuang in the northeast corner of Jade Village and Zhimaizhuang are the properties of the Tang family in Xianyang, but they are ordinary farms and are managed by the Tang family's people in Luoyang. The smallest Jiahezhuang only has the dry land behind the mountain and the mountain forest behind, and it is rented to others. It is said that he is a four-rank official, his hometown is too remote and has no relatives, Jiahezhuang is not far from the city, there is quite quiet, and he can cultivate himself. Because he was close to Tang Wen, the head of the Tang family, in the capital, he rented this place from the Tang family for a favor.
