The journey is imminent

After the New Year, the children of the grandchildren of the Tang family will return to their respective positions, especially those who have official positions. Although Xinjie's identity is special, he doesn't have to respond to it, but there are too many things to do, and he has to hurry on the road with Lian'er and Xinyue.

The day before leaving, Lian'er still came over early in the morning to comb her grandmother's hair.

"Do you like the jewelry I asked Xinjie to bring you some time ago?"

"Like, thank you grandma!"

"But you never wear it."

"It's too precious, I often practice doing things and stuff like that, I'm afraid of breaking it. And..."

"You rarely wear expensive jewelry in the Tang family, and suddenly wear it for fear of being too much for a big wife, right?"

... ...

"It's better not to be in front of her... Xinjie once told you, that is my mother gave me, those are my mother's dowry back then, she gave it to me back then, it is to bring me happiness, I give it to you today is also a blessing. Although I have been in Tangmen for so many years, I am not happy, but I have survived the ups and downs. Child, I hope you and Xinjie are better than I am. ”

The old lady took off the Hetian mutton fat white jade bracelet in her hand and put it on Lian'er, "Grandma, no, this bracelet is too precious."

"Do you know where it came from?"

"I don't know."

"This is a gift from the Turkic Shiye Khan after I rescued him, and it not only bears the emblem of his tribe, but also the treasure of his tribe, which is said to have the blessing of the earthquake. Ever since you came to Tangmen, I have hoped that you would call me my grandmother for the rest of my life. Grandma gave it to you in the hope that you and Xinjie would be safe. I don't know how much Xinjie told you, the sinister in the capital and the court, you should know it very well. I hope that when you are done, grandma will have the opportunity to marry you, and grandma also hopes that after you get married, you will accompany grandma to Jiangnan to pay respects to your grandfather and grandmother. Xinjie has some problems, you have to be tolerant of him, he loves you very much, treat him well, this child has been wandering outside with Xiaoxiao since he was a child, it is not easy, cherish him. ”

"Grandma, I will."

When Xinjie saw Lian'er again in the evening, he was surprised to see her wearing her grandmother's bracelet.

"This bracelet?"

"Grandma said it was sent by the Turkic Shiye Khan." Xinjie held his wife's soft wattle and looked at the bracelet for a long time.

"What's wrong with you?"

"Grandma wore this bracelet for decades, but never explained to us the history, until I went to the Turks with Yiyi last year, and my grandmother once sent a leopard head gold ring to Shiye Khan, and the Khan actually summoned me alone, and the content of the conversation was only to greet my grandmother, and give me another tiger head gold ring, and let me pass it on to my grandmother. The two rings had tribal markings on them, and Shi Ye obviously saw my confusion about them, so he explained them to me. The two gold rings were actually tokens of the messenger between Grandma and Shi Ye. At the same time, he also told me that the jade bracelet and another eagle-headed jade medallion were not only treasures of the Shiye tribe, but also tokens. The tribe of Shiye will have the highest level of reverence for the owner of this bracelet and the jade medallion, except for the khan himself. Although Grandma did not explain it to us, I believe that the relationship between her and Shi Ye is not ordinary. Shi Ye said that they met in Jiangnan, which should have been before her grandmother married in Kansai. At that time, Shi Ye was in exile in the Central Plains, and his grandmother was married to Kansai by the emperor,... ... ”

"So grandma said that she was not happy in Tangmen......"The two looked at each other, and they both felt that this matter was very embarrassing, didn't grandma love grandpa?

"And grandma has a word that struck me weird today." Lian'er frowned and bit her lower lip.

"What?"

"She said she wanted to marry me when she was done. She is your grandmother, even if she and my grandmother were handkerchiefs back then, but if you send me to marry... Unless it's not for me to marry the Tang family? ”

"Silly girl, how is that possible. The old man may be old and misnomer, you can only marry me, not someone else. Don't be cranky. ”

Lian'er didn't speak, she knew that when her grandmother was not old enough to speak confusedly or use inappropriate words, the old man was as shrewd as many young people. Of course, the confused look on her face could not escape the eyes of those who loved her deeply, and he really couldn't understand why her grandmother said that, and why she had set up so many mysteries about their marriage. But he believed that they were together, something that Grandma had decided to do. Although he himself has a lot of doubts, no matter what happens, he has to do his best to defend his lover. He hugged her tightly: "Don't think about it anymore, Grandma hasn't taken this bracelet off since I can remember." She handed it over to you today, and she can only say that her old man trusts you. Maybe she thinks we'll have to deal with the Turks in the future. ”

On the day of the Shangyuan Lantern Festival, when she saw Xinjie and Lian'er watching the lanterns, Fangyan's heart sank to the end. In the past month, no matter what means she used to get close to him, Xinjie not only did not pretend to her, but even directly ignored or walked away in disgust. She originally wanted to start with other young masters of the Tang family, she first chose Xinyang, Xinyang seemed to be very arrogant, but she was very cautious and polite to her dependents, and did not give her any chance to start. She also tried Xinyuan, on the surface Xinyuan is extremely simple, after several battles, she found that this man looks simple on the surface, but his heart is as thin as silk, and her actions are seen through by him and cannot be performed. The children of the Tang family are indeed not simple. Even some young masters from the side branches, most of them are upright or alert, neither taking advantage nor hiding dirty intentions to give people a handle. She often compares the foreign Du family with the Tang family, If it is rich, the Du family's wine industry can still be handled, but compared to the upbringing of the children in the family, the Du family has been thrown out a few streets. At the beginning, her mother chose to live in Baihuatang, in addition to really admiring the Tang family, she was also unwilling to take her back to the Du family to fight for the family property and have no family affection. Father's family, the Li family, has not only been declining in the past few years, but several cousins have not been successful, and they are not doing their jobs all day long. If these two families are successful and can have someone who can handle it, she doesn't have to squeeze into Tangzhuang.

Just when she followed Princess Jing'an to watch the Tang brothers win various competitions on the stage, someone quietly put a note in her sleeve, She didn't find that anyone deliberately approached her at that time, and only found out after returning to Tangzhuang, and was afraid. I saw that Tang Xinyang was the first choice written above, Du Chong, a subordinate of the Tang Sect, Gao Fei, the shopkeeper of Yuehuaxuan Xianyang, and Tang Xinqiang's concubine. Although she is not deeply involved, she also knows that with such a layout, what the other party is planning is not a trivial matter. Xinyang is the head of the Imperial Forest Army and the commander of the forbidden army, and from the number and time of Gao Fei's appearance in front of Xinjie in the past few days, she can guess that this person is Xinjie's right-hand man. Most of the affairs of the Tang family are related to the imperial court, and these people must have a plan to sacrifice her mother's name to come to Tangzhuang. She didn't want to respond, but the evidence that she framed her mother couldn't be rejected in their hands, if those evidences were revealed, not only would she no longer be in the Tang family, but her aunt would definitely give up on her completely. Just look at this last final choice, you will know how dark the other party is, Xinqiang is her aunt's own son, if it is his concubine, he will definitely offend Xinqiang's daughter-in-law, The bride has just passed the door for a year, and she is her aunt's favorite daughter-in-law, if she is inserted in the middle, she may be directly disgusted by her aunt. Thinking about it, tossing and turning and not knowing what to do, she stayed awake all night, annoyed, and when the east turned white, she decided to go out for a walk.

Unexpectedly, he actually ran into Yiyan by the lake, the county lord walked briskly along the shore of the lake in the morning, and almost bumped into Fang Yan who was standing there looking at the lake in a daze.

"The county lord got up so early?"

"Miss Li is so early." Yiyan shook her head disdainfully: "Since everyone has the same purpose, why don't we go over together and see who he likes?" ”

"What do you mean?"

"What do you mean, you are just too capable of pretending, aren't you here to see Tang Xinyang practice at this time? Everyone knows the little thought you want the crow to turn into a phoenix, what's the point of hiding and hiding? Hypocrisy! ”

"Oh, why is the county lord here so early? Could it be that under the guise of accompanying the princess to practice medicine, isn't the county lord's intention of coming to the Tang family to fish for the golden beetle? It seems that the county lord has taken a fancy to Brother Xinyang. ”

"Brother Xinyang, it's really affectionate. Can't catch up with your brother Jie, and want to catch up with Xinyang? Why are you so thick-skinned? ”

The quarrel between the two was not loud, but Tang Zhuang from the master to the guard, even if the ordinary servants were all masters, someone heard it and informed Xin Yang, who was practicing in the pine forest by the lake. Xinyang took a few of his brothers out to practice this morning. Tangmen martial arts are different from many schools, unlike many so-called authentic martial arts that emphasize fancy, Tangmen kung fu is more about internal cultivation and actual combat, no matter what moves, it must be effective and lethal to be valuable. Therefore, in addition to practicing their own internal skills, it is necessary for the brothers of the family to get together for actual combat training. Xinyang is usually in the capital, and often fights with a group of brothers in the capital, and this is the first time that more than a dozen brothers from his own family have gathered here to learn all morning.

He naturally knows Fang Yan and Yi Yan's thoughts, and he can also see the chaos that Fang Yan has caused to the third brother in the past few days. After his father's death, the adult brothers remained in the army, and the younger brothers were sent back to Tangzhuang to live with the big house. Grandmother disciplined them very strictly, but not very close, Mrs. Tang is a selfish character, so Xinyang has been very sensible since childhood, and actively followed the old lady in his early years, learned a lot of things, human accidents, and decision-making, although not as shrewd and capable as the third brother, but also quite sophisticated and mature. Because of this, he was the first of his grandchildren to be sent to the capital by an old lady to assist the Queen Mother, and became the youngest commander and teacher in the forbidden army. The clouds in the palace have seen too much, and the big drama staged by several women in the past few days is a piece of cake for him. Yiyan visited the Tang family frequently with Jing'an in Beijing this winter, and he repeatedly secretly sent Qiubo to him, and he always felt that this matter was not so simple. Since you can't see through it, it's okay to play and try it.
