Chapter 14 The leisurely third son

In the eyes of the people of Wabaozhai, the third son of the Tang family is leisurely and suave. is not as busy and heavy as the eldest prince, not as kind as the ninth prince, and there is a luxury that people can't force to look at in the plain.

This time, the third prince returned to the Tang Gate, except for occasionally passing by in the countryside as in the past, and taking the mysterious white girl of the Tang family to see the scenery of the township, the most he did was to go to the Guo family wine shop in the northwest corner of Wabao Village to sit down, chat with Boss Guo, and drink some of Boss Guo's wine. Obviously, Boss Guo's wine is quite attractive to him, so the third prince will basically go to taste a little bit at dusk every other day, sit in the corner of the winery, and chat with Boss Guo. And at this time, there was no follower by his side, no long-term follower, and no white girl who made many village women look miserable.

In Wabao Village, the Tang family is a special existence, and several sons of the Tang family are also very concerned in this hundred miles. After the frequent visits of the third son, the Guo family's wine shop suddenly became lively, and there were many big girls and little daughters-in-law who came to drink and buy cooked vegetables. And it's always at dusk. The guys are overwhelmed, so they are in a hurry, and the hands and feet of the natural business have become inflexible, and the kung fu of drinking and cutting vegetables is also more clumsy, which often makes the little daughters-in-law who are full of joy.

Despite the hot eyes projected on, the third prince was unusually calm and indifferent, never responding, let alone caring, as if he had been used to being noticed. This kind of ignorance gave rise to a trace of awe in the women, although it was eye-catching, but no one dared to come forward to talk to them, just watched from afar. And the third prince also drank the wine in front of everyone, took the packaged side dishes personally sent by Boss Guo, and leisurely went back to Tangzhuang.

Of course, occasionally Boss Guo will also send some wine and side dishes that the third prince likes to Tangzhuang. It's just that every time the third prince comes, or after Boss Guo sends wine to the third prince, there will be guys in the winery who go to Xianyang City to either deliver goods or buy raw materials. These guys brought back all kinds of news in Xianyang City, and also brought a message that annoyed these women one day, and at the same time made them start to guess the excitement that this news might bring, This is the rumor in the city, the trusted Kansai Jiedu made Lord Wu, that is, the biggest official in the Guanxi, take a fancy to the third prince and want to marry his daughter to him, and has invited the well-known old Gao in Xianyang City, the emperor's emperor Gao Junyan as a matchmaker, and the marriage seems to be about to be settled soon.

The news was passed on to the guests by a fellow man, and it immediately spread in Wabao Village. Many people came to ask Boss Guo for advice, but Boss Guo was noncommittal. And on this day, a young lady dressed in fashion, gorgeous from head to toe, with two maids and four guards, came to the winery. This kind of character, except for the guests of Tangzhuang, is not usually common in this area. This group of people sat in the shop for more than an hour, although they had sold wine but did not drink it, except for the young lady who was sitting, everyone else stood with their hands down, and this pomp and circumstance looked quite like the official lady. But I kept pestle in the store like this, and I saw Boss Guo frowning.

It was nearly dusk, and the group had no intention of leaving. And the path in front of the winery reminds me of the pleasant sound of horses' hooves. The third prince, as usual, dismounted at the door, threw the reins of the horse to the man at will, and walked freely into the winery towards his old position. At this time, the official lady had already stood up excitedly, walked towards him, and bowed her head slightly: "Third son." ”

Xinjie was stunned for a moment, didn't speak, just glanced at her, nodded slightly, and continued to walk towards his seat.

"What's wrong with you, our young lady is talking to you." One of the guards spoke arrogantly.

Xinjie raised his eyebrows slightly, without any more changes in his expression, and sat down at his table indifferently, waiting for Boss Guo to deliver the wine and food. Let the young lady and her entourage petrify in the local area. When the guards were about to erupt, the young lady's majestic gaze swept over, and she had to stand there again angry.

A small pot of wine, so small that you can only pour two glasses, the people of Wayaobao know that the third prince tastes wine but does not like to drink. Slowly fill a small glass, put it on the tip of your nose and smell it, and then slowly put it down, as usual, and look out the window at the close to desolate fields, as if there were no new customers in the winery today.

The guests who came to buy wine and meat stood there and watched. Let's say that this young lady is really not easy, but in such an embarrassing environment, she can stop people from making trouble, and she looks like everyone. But the young lady who has not left the cabinet has come to this country place in person, and one has to wonder about the motive. Seeing that she calmed her chest and abdomen that were undulating in a few breaths, Wen Wen stood up quietly, turned to the third son, looked at him quietly, and walked towards him dignifiedly. It is indeed dignified, the step on the head does not shake with the movement, the waist is not twisted, the lotus step is lightly lifted, but the hem of the skirt is slightly flicked.

"Third son, the little woman knows that she is presumptuous, but since the son saved Sasha in Yunci Temple a few days ago, Sasha has always been grateful for the chivalrous deeds of the third son. Sasha thanked the third son here. After that, he bowed down.

Everyone was so polite, of course Xinjie couldn't slap people in the face anymore, so he had to get up quickly and avoid her bow, and at the same time bowed slightly to show his salute in return: "Miss Wu, the effort of raising your hands is not enough to worry about." This is a deserted place to refute rumors, watch the sunset, Miss is inconvenient to stay here, please return to the house as soon as possible. ”

After that, he returned to indifference, wanting to sit down and smell the wine again.

"Third Prince, Sasha came from Xianyang City today, in addition to thanking the Third Prince, I still have something to discuss with the Third Prince, but there are many people here, I wonder if the Son can talk in the car outside the door?"

"Miss Wu, this is not appropriate. If the young lady proposed to his father for the sake of Mr. Gao, it would be needless to talk about it, and the father had already replied to Mr. Gao, and Mr. Gao must have already told the envoy of the festival. ”

"Sasha just wants to know why she was rejected?" The people around immediately understood that Miss Wu had come to Xingshi to ask for guilt.

Yes, such a beautiful and dignified young lady, why was she rejected, isn't it rumored that the marriage has been decided?

"My father must have told Mr. Gao that he is already engaged."

But Mr. Gao also conveyed that if the son already has a wife, Sasha is willing to be a flat wife in order to repay the son for saving him. As long as she can serve by her son's side, Sasha doesn't care about her name, and she will definitely get along with her sister and serve her husband together. Although the daughter of the Wu family is not allowed to be a concubine, my uncle and father both value the son, Sasha makes this choice, the elders in the family also support it, and Sasha is willing to wait for her sister to pass through the door before entering..."

"Miss Wu has the reputation of the first talented woman in Zhongzhou, the Wu family is a big family in Zhongzhou, how many literati children are all over the government and the opposition, there are uncles who live in the Ministry of Officials, Father who holds the Guanxi Festival Envoy Print, and Wu Guifei, who is quite favored in the palace, With Miss Wu's net worth background, there will be countless talented people everywhere, so why grieve yourself."

"But none of them are Sasha's beloved, Sasha only has a son in her heart, when she was rescued by Gongzi in Tsz Yun Temple that day, you know that Sasha is in her heart..."

"Please be cautious, my brothers passed by Yunci Temple that day and helped Miss drive away some unscrupulous people, not to mention that it was not the next person to make a move that day, several brothers in my family are here, just do some things that ordinary people should do to help passers-by, just like my brothers get along with the neighbors around Wayaobao, when you can help, it's just a big deal, and please don't mention this matter in the future." He was already very impatient, although he came to say a few words to Boss Guo, but it seemed that he had to leave first today, stood up coldly and arrogantly, and prepared to take a step.

"Sasha knows that she is presumptuous, but this is not the first time I have seen Childe in Tsz Yun Temple, Childe will look at this." She blocked his way, spreading out the handkerchief in her hand, revealing half a pink crystal clear cloud-like jade.

Xinjie naturally knows this auspicious cloud, which is the envoy of Xiwan Kingdom in the year before to participate in the autumn hunt to pay tribute to the emperor, not only the whole body is crystal clear, pink auspicious, in the night without light self-bright, and the most important thing is that for people who practice martial arts, long-term wear has the effect of enhancing skills. This jade que is divided into two pieces, which is more suitable for couples to wear separately. Back then, he saved the current emperor in the paddock, and the emperor originally wanted to reward him with this jade que, but he asked the emperor for the nine-turn jade bow.

Although Wu Shasha didn't want to say this in front of so many people, Xinjie didn't give her a chance to say it privately, so she had to speak in front of so many people now: "Actually, when she was in the paddock, Sasha followed her aunt there and witnessed the demeanor of Gongzi with her own eyes, and since then Sasha has admired Gongzi, Before you went on an envoy with the prince, when you entered the palace to meet you, Sasha saw you in the palace, and she was even more determined to marry Gongzi as his wife." After that, I begged my aunt, and my aunt went to the emperor, and the emperor gave her the jade gate as a reward, and promised to discuss the matter when the prince returned to Beijing to participate in this year's autumn hunt. Although Gongzi does not participate in this year's autumn hunting, he is afraid that after Gongzi returns to Beijing, the emperor will mention this family matter to Gongzi,... ... In his words, the arrogance revealed could not be questioned, and the people around him began to feel nervous about the white girl of the Tang Sect, Could this be the wife of the third prince? There is a royal token?!

Xinjie squinted at Wu Shasha slightly, and the other party quickly concealed his arrogance, lowered his head humbly, and said meekly: "Sasha doesn't want to use the emperor to suppress the son, it's just that Sasha has really admired the son for many years, ... ..."

"Miss Wu, don't get me wrong," the tone was very cold and hard, "Tang wasn't thinking about anything else, but suddenly figured out what he had doubted. Of course, in Ciyun Temple, I originally thought it was strange, how could a gang of thieves dare to find trouble in broad daylight to make the adult's daughter, and after the incident, why didn't Lord Wu propose to my eldest brother or other Tang family brothers who were also present at the time, but chose to be next, Now I think that those thieves are only afraid that the adults have arranged it. ”

"Third son, please forgive us, we also have no choice. Originally, I wanted my aunt to send someone to propose marriage when my son entered Beijing for the autumn hunt, but I didn't know that my son would not go to the autumn hunt this year, and some time ago, when the old lady was on her birthday, I heard that other families were interested in proposing, and Sasha was anxious, so she begged her father and eldest brother to arrange an encounter in Ciyun Temple..."

"Miss Wu, please don't say any more, since our brother in Tsz Yun Temple didn't really help Miss that day, let alone talk about not repaying the matter. I hope that Miss Wu will not mention this matter in the future. Tang doesn't care as a man, I'm afraid that this matter will spread and cause the reputation of the young lady. After that, he didn't stay anymore, and went out directly to pull the horse away, leaving Wu Shasha standing there with a gloomy face.

After Xinjie left, the guard who had just had an attack looked at his departing back with disdain: "This person is too ignorant of lifting, he should be allowed to treat the noble lady for the crime of disrespect." ”

Wu Shasha glanced at the guard with indifferent contempt, and everyone no longer dared to speak out. They have been following the young lady for a long time, and they know very well what the temper of their own young lady is, although Tang Gongzi looked elegant and virtuous when he was there just now, but they have all seen the cruel methods of sending people down on weekdays.

Proudly glanced around at the people who were gradually dispersing, and glanced at the back in the distance, She walked indifferently to her carriage, but the murderous aura in her eyes gradually fell into Boss Guo's eyes. After getting in the car, a green-clothed maid beside her whispered: "I didn't expect this Tang Xinjie to not even pay attention to the jade given by the emperor, and he didn't give his mother face." ”

"This jade que was originally only given by the emperor to my aunt, not that the emperor gave him and me a marriage, but that my aunt asked the emperor for permission to transfer it to me, hoping to achieve our marriage. Of course he will not give the harem a concubine's face, in the harem he has the support of the queen mother," holding the jade que tightly in his hand, Wu Shasha frowned deeply, "In the previous dynasty, a group of brothers of the Tang family were in charge of military power, and he himself was appreciated by the emperor, and he was a close minister of the prince, so why should he give face to a prince who has not yet been weakened." Now that the court is up and down, the prince's position is stable, and the Tang family's power in the court and the opposition is unbreakable, but I am afraid that the mother should give him face. Do you think that Miss Ben lowered her figure to beg him today, and fell into Miss's share, but I don't know how many famous ladies in the capital want to find this kind of opportunity. It's just that we didn't expect that he couldn't even look down on Mr. Gao's media, Mr. Gao was the first emperor's teacher, and the three secretaries of the six departments of the central government had many of his protΓ©gΓ©s, and even the power of the Gao family could not be taken into account, I don't know if he was the position of the prince after he ascended the throne, and he was really determined to marry him now The orphan girl, I don't know what is good about that woman. ”

"What good can it be, in terms of talent, where is she worthy of Miss, the first talented woman in Zhongzhou, even the emperor is full of praise for Miss's talent. When I was in the capital, how many sons of families came to ask for marriage, If it weren't for this Tang Xinjie, the girl is now following the mother to accompany the emperor to the autumn hunt, maybe there would have been a bunch of sons following behind. He was so arrogant now, not because he didn't like the girl, not because he was snobbish, the woman was just an excuse. ”

"If it's really an excuse, it's easier to do, this court, what he is pursuing is nothing more than a position of power, he is now only a member of the prince's staff, and he has no important position in the court. Qiaoping, you will leave for Beijing tomorrow to report to your grandmother, and let your uncle and aunt help him get a good position in the court, and I will stay here for a while, hum... ..."Since the former prince was deposed, the current prince's position is stable, not only because he is the queen's concubine, but also because he is deeply loved by the old queen mother in the palace, so that he has been protected by the Tang family from top to bottom. And my aunt's prince Yiping, who will only be crowned next year, cannot be compared with Yiyi in terms of mind or power in the court. Now that the emperor is in poor health, seeing the change of dynasty coming, a young prince like Yiping can only rely on a certain force, and the new emperor will have a chance to survive when he ascends the throne in the future, and the Wu family can be saved. She was originally the first talented woman in Zhongzhou, and she was known as a small woman who married into the Tang Sect, but it was for the interests of the family. She originally thought that it was an excuse to retreat and enter the Tang Gate, but as for how the woman will be in the future, it doesn't depend on her mood. But looking at Tang Xinjie's attitude today, she was a little puzzled about this plan, could it be that she misestimated the man's mind?

"Girl, why don't we let the old lady send Ruyun Rufang here?" Wu Lao Taijun has cultivated six maids who start with the word like flowers and jade, and they don't have to do things on weekdays, and the Wu family invited famous teachers to teach them piano, chess, calligraphy, painting and special skills, only when the Wu family has distinguished guests to visit or Wu Lao Taijun will take them when he goes to an important banquet.

"Let them try. However, Tang Xinjie has been merciful everywhere in the past few years, and he has seen countless women, but I am afraid that it will be difficult for a woman to make him tempted. ”

"So the lady who was engaged to him didn't really make him moved, it was just an excuse."

"Hopefully, if he's really tempted, that woman will be in absolute trouble."
