Chapter 31 The Carriage and Horses in Front of the General's Mansion

Even though he was still a little hungry, he couldn't wait to come to Tai Academy. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

He came so unfortunately, and he didn't know the times.

The door of Tai Academy was closed in the night, and the students inside had just had dinner and were preparing for their evening homework. The porter was about to take advantage of the night to scald the pot of good wine and enjoy the rare purity, but he didn't want the door to be slammed.

I didn't receive an order from the academy, and I didn't see any will, so the porter Lao Zhang was willing to have a good face.

Moreover, there is a proverb in Beijing: "The mud legs of the Tai Academy, the dog legs of the Prime Minister's Mansion", which is the role that Chang'an people avoid like a plague.

The door had already been bolted, and Lao Zhang didn't bother to open the thick latch, but his face was cold, and he yelled at the wooden door with almost no gaps: "What kind of person? Don't you see that the adults are closed?

Zhuo Zangfeng originally thought that Tai Academy was recruiting talents, although it would not entertain a foreigner as a relative, and it would not be closed!

Who would have thought that this is how things really went.

Listening to the old but majestic voice inside the door, he shook his head, feeling that he was really reckless.

The old monster was able to come and go freely in the Tai Academy, and it was because he was Duan Qianhua, and the master was able to eat the invitation of the Tai Academy as a chicken leg countless times, and that was because he was Meng Taixu.

But what about himself? He laughed to himself, feeling empty in his stomach, and his stomach began to sound unpleasant.

Walking around, I found an inn casually, and after filling my stomach, I lay on the bed.

Outside the window, the moon floated up, and Zhuo Zangfeng crossed his fingers and pillowed on it, turning sideways to stare for a long time.

Master said that Tai Academy is an authentic practice, and the practice in the academy is the result of the efforts of countless sages, but how can you enter Tai Xue?

Also, the marriage certificate should also be disposed of.

It's a big deal anyway. You can't just join hands with a girl you've never met because of this piece of paper, it's too child's play? This kind of thing can only be done by a guy like the old monster.

There is also an old monster whose vision is too bad, if you get yourself an ugly monster to be your daughter-in-law, wouldn't it be a big loss?

After thinking about it, I felt that I would go to get out of the marriage first, and then find a way to enter the Tai Academy.

I was woken up early in the morning by the sound of sparrows, got up and washed my face casually, went downstairs to drink two bowls of rice porridge, took out the marriage book and carefully read the address on it, silently memorized it, and walked out of the inn with the wooden box on my back.

He's going to a place called the General's Mansion.

In Chang'an, there are many generals' mansions, but there is only one general surnamed Yao, and that is the hussar general Yao Changqi. The history book says: "Since the Tang Dynasty had the hussar general Yao Changqi, the border passes were peaceful and peaceful, and the four seas were peaceful. ”

This twelve-year-old followed his father in the army of the great general of the army for decades to make great contributions, his wife is the emperor's sister, the elder brother is the prime minister of the dynasty, it can be said that all of them are powerful, plus they are deeply trusted by the holy lord, holding heavy troops, and the power and prestige are really under one person, above ten thousand.

Walk through the West Gate Drum Tower, walk through the Kuixing Pavilion, bypass a vast sea of flowers, and the front is the General's Mansion.

However, standing in the autumn sun, he was a little dumbfounded.

In front of the tall and magnificent gatehouse of the General's Palace, luxurious carriages filled the entire street. In front of each carriage were servants served, dressed in new clothes and looking proud.

......

There was silence in a silent room in the General's Mansion, and the great general Yao Changqi sat on a pear blossom wooden chair and closed his eyes in contemplation, and the noisy carriages and horses outside the door could not interrupt his thoughts.

He was nearly fifty years old, with a square face and thick eyebrows, and a majestic appearance, but he looked a little serious, and his left elbow was lightly rested on the sandalwood table beside him.

Yesterday in the court, in front of the civil and military officials, Her Royal Highness the princess who was powerful in the world praised his daughter and asked if she could be married. This invincible general on the battlefield sank his heart suddenly.

The princess is scheming, and she will never be concerned about her daughter's family affairs for no reason, so she has some intentions?

Daughter Yao Caiwei, fourteen years old, born dignified, because of the rare blood of the divine phoenix, since the age of eight with the Holy Mother of Xinghai practice, and was exceptionally selected as the Holy Maiden of the Starfish.

This time, because of my mother's 70th birthday, I only went home for a month, and in two days I will leave this place for Starfish Heaven.

Chang'an people are civilized, many famous ladies have been engaged very early, because Yao Chang drove the power to the government and the opposition, coupled with Miss Yao's immortal posture, and practiced in the starfish sky, where do the children of ordinary officials dare to come to the door to ask for relatives?

He told the truth, but the princess smiled and nodded frequently.

As the most authoritative princess of the Tang Dynasty, she naturally wants to encircle the powerful people around her. Giving the two sides a marriage was originally a tried and tested strategy.

This princess, who is known for her beauty and wisdom, naturally knew Yao Caiwei's beauty and talent for a long time, and said a word after listening to the truthful answer of the seemingly frightened general.

"You are self-exalted on the precipice, and the princes of the whole city are not in the eyes of the law, and tomorrow they will be allowed to come to the door to ask for marriage, and choose from the good. ”

Yao Changqi didn't understand the queen's original intention, was the queen herself intending to be an old man under the moon, or did she really care about her daughter's marriage? After stepping down, he hurriedly asked the queen's confidant Guo Gonggong to inquire about the news for him. At noon, when he was eating in the palace, he saw Gonggong Guo shaking his head and waving his hand to him, and it seemed that he did not find out the meaning of the holy queen, so he had to return to the general's mansion.

However, early this morning, many people seemed to have grown bold overnight and came to ask for marriage with generous gifts. High-ranking officials, giant businessmen, famous families, and almost all the young sons in Chang'an.

Even those children of families who have already married their wives rush to see even though they know that there is no hope of courting, and there are many young children who know that they cannot climb high, and they are all eager to do so.

In their hearts, beauties are hard to come by, but they are also willing to see who the first beauty of the Tang Dynasty will be.

The early autumn morning was still a little cold. It was still early, and the crowd gathered in front of the General's Mansion, looking at the closed vermilion gate and whispering.

The queen did not make a clear statement, but these suitors who appeared like bamboo shoots after spring, Yao Changqi couldn't cry or laugh, so he simply closed the door and didn't receive any of them.

Seekers who feel that they have some capital crowd in front of the door, and once the general's palace opens to welcome guests, they will flock in and do their best to be the luckiest one.

And those who have no conditions are holding the mentality of watching the excitement, and at the same time, they also have a sigh of being born ten years early. Then he looked at the suitors blocking the door and expressed his sour emotions.

"can be worthy of Miss Mo, unless it is the Jiangbei Bu family. ”

"Yes! There is a proverb in Kyoto: 'The children of Jiangbei are rich in the world, and the thousand mountains are not unique to me', this step family is not only the first rich family in my Tang Dynasty, but also the son of Bu Denghong is a hundred years of cultivation genius, ten years old to open up the "mystery", now sixteen, has entered the realm of seven martial arts. ”

"The right door. ”

"Well deserved. ”

"Besides......" A loud voice suddenly stopped, as for the content behind his "besides", which one of the people present didn't know it?

If Yao Changqi heard these discussions, he might have made some decisions.

He was still sitting still, his tea still steaming. Although he doesn't like to drink tea, he likes to watch the white gas wafting from the tea, and he also likes to smell the fragrance of tea.

Therefore, when the tea is cold, he doesn't drink it, and the next person will refill it for him.

The servant standing beside him saw that his master was silent, and bowed down boldly and said, "Master, there are more and more people outside the door, and I estimate that all the people in Chang'an have come." ”

Yao Changqi opened his eyes and sighed: "Even I don't understand what the princess meant, how did they know? ”

Xu Fenglai, who had served Yao Changqi for most of his life, squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "Master, this is a good thing, all the sons of the city have come to ask for marriage, throughout the ages, which girl has such a big face?"

Yao Changqi didn't speak, he was speculating about the intention behind the princess.

He vaguely felt that this matter would not be so simple, although the princess liked Wei'er very much, but which one did he make? Seeing that the suitor was about to break through the threshold, didn't this give him a big problem?

He suddenly asked, "What did Madame say?"

Xu Fenglai replaced the tea for him and replied, "Madame said that it is all up to you. ”

Yao Changqi listened, fumbled with the warm teacup, and said, "Madam, madam, you are pushing the problem to me!"

Xu Fenglai said again: "Mrs. also said that it is also a good thing to get married while Miss is about to leave Chang'an." ”

This incident seemed to stump the dignified hussar general, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.

He understands his daughter, Yao Caiwei has a strong personality, and if she chooses someone who is not satisfactory, she would rather die than agree.

He stood up suddenly, and the tall figure walked back and forth in the room, and suddenly stopped, and said, "Open the door!"
