Chapter 194: Joys and Sorrows

In the Tang State Mansion, basically no one mentioned Li Yuan's concubine Wan.

It was only before Jinyang raised troops that Guanyin heard by chance from Li Yuan that he had a concubine Wan and four other concubines.

------

When this Wan was young, he was Mrs. Dou's personal maid, and later became Li Yuan's concubine.

In the past, Li Yuan often served outside, and when he was released, he was followed and served by Wan. Because Mrs. Dou is very strong, every time Li Yuan returns home from office, he never takes the Wan family with him, and he does not let the Wan family and Mrs. Dou live together.

Li Yuan did this, firstly, for fear of causing the unhappiness of Mrs. Dou, and secondly, for fear that his wife and concubine would fight and make the Wan family hurt. There are many mansions in the Tang Mansion, and some of them are places to house the Wan family, Li Yuan didn't want to make himself uncomfortable, so he let his wife and concubine live separately.

------

Wan followed Li Yuan for many years, and the two had a son and three daughters, namely Li Yuan's eldest daughter, second daughter, fourth daughter and fifth son Li Zhiyun.

The eldest daughter married Feng Shaoshi, and Li Yuanjin was crowned the queen of Tang and was named the county lord of Changsha.

The second daughter died of her husband after marriage, and she was widowed for many years, and now she has returned to her mother's house to live with Wan's family, and is now named the lord of Xiangyang County.

The fourth daughter married Duan Lun and is now named the county lord of Gaomi.

The fifth son, Li Zhiyun, was killed after the Jinyang uprising, and is now posthumously named the Duke of Chu.

Although Wan is Li Yuan's concubine, her mother is more precious than her son, and as Li Zhiyun's mother, she was named Mrs. Guo.

------

After Li Yuan went to Taiyuan to serve as a consolation ambassador, Wan and Li Zhiyun have been living in the former residence of the Li family in Fengyi County.

Before Jinyang raised troops, Li Yuan had explained to Li Jiancheng and brought Li Zhiyun to Jinyang together. But Li Jiancheng left Li Zhiyun's mother and son alone, causing Li Zhiyun to be killed.

After Jinyang raised troops, Li Zhiyun was captured by the government and sent to Chang'an, and he was killed by the Shangshu Yin Shishi of the Criminal Department, and he was only 14 years old when he died. This incident became an indelible pain in Wan's heart.

------

Feng Yi's old residence is located in the west of the city, close to the main road, facing the water.

Guanyin and the others arrived at Feng Yi and lived in the old Li family house for a day.

Under the control of Li Shimin's second sister, the county lord of Xiangyang, the group lived in the old house.

------

Guanyin has been good at socializing with people since she was a child, while Zheng Guanyin likes to be alone.

After being settled, Guanyin took the initiative to call Zheng Guanyin and went to Mrs. Wan's residence to chat about family life, so as not to lose etiquette.

Mrs. Wan used to be Li Yuan's concubine, but now she is different from before, she is the mother of Li Zhiyun, the Duke of Chu, and her identity is the same as Guanyin and Zheng Guanyin, both of whom are Mrs. Guo.

If in the past, Mrs. Wan was equal to a slave in front of Guanyin and Zheng Guanyin, but now she is as noble as them, as Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng's concubines, Guanyin and Zheng Guanyin will be treated as elders.

------

When Guanyin and Zheng Guanyin arrived, the lord of Xiangyang happened to accompany Mrs. Wan in the upper room, and the four of them greeted each other, and Mrs. Wan let Guanyin and Zheng Guanyin go to the Luohan bed.

The lord of Xiangyang County instructed the maidservant to put on a few food boxes containing dried fruits.

Li Zhiyun had just been killed, and Mrs. Wan had not recovered from the pain of losing her son, and when she saw Guanyin and Zheng Guanyin, although she was smiling, she still had a faint look of sadness.

------

Mrs. Wan looks to be in her forties, although she used to be Li Yuan's concubine, she has been following Li Yuan for a long time.

In terms of temperament, it is not like an ordinary maid, sitting in front of Guanyin and Zheng Guanyin, it looks simple and square, noble and elegant, and the words and conversations are neither humble nor arrogant.

The county lord of Xiangyang seems to be in his twenties, and his demeanor is also knowledgeable, chaste and graceful.

------

Seeing Guanyin and Zheng Guanyin, Mrs. Wan couldn't help but think of her son, and couldn't help crying.

Guanyin and Zheng Guanyin comforted her with kind words and persuaded them to mourn.

Mrs. Wan sighed faintly, "Among the four children, my favorite ones are Wulang and Erniang, but the two of them are miserable, Wulang was killed at a young age, and Erniang lost her husband soon after she got married."

Guanyin persuaded softly, "Auntie doesn't have to be too sad, now it's not the same as in the past, although the fifth uncle was killed, now that he has been crowned the prince of the country, in the future, Grandpa will definitely arrange for the children of the clan to inherit the heir and renew the incense for him."

Then Guanyin glanced at the county lord of Xiangyang, and said with a smile, "Auntie doesn't need to worry about Erniang's affairs, she will definitely be able to match her lover again in the future."

------

Guanyin, Zheng Guanyin and the county lord of Xiangyang comforted, and Mrs. Wan was able to stop her grief, and when she talked about the talents of Li Zhiyun and the county lord of Xiangyang, she still couldn't hide her pride.

Li Yuansu attaches great importance to the education of his children, including these four concubines, all of whom have endowments beyond ordinary people, and they are all versatile.

Li Zhiyun has been smart since he was a child, and under Li Yuan's careful training, he has outstanding archery skills, and he works in calligraphy and Go. The lord of Xiangyang County is even more proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Guanyin and the lord of Xiangyang County have similar interests, and they have the feeling of meeting confidants when they meet for the first time.

------

After resting in Feng Yi for a day, Guanyin and her entourage continued to hurry, and walked for another three days before arriving in Chang'an.

Because Li Yuan lived in the Wude Hall of Daxing Palace, Wen Dayou sent someone to send Li Yuan's concubine Mo Lifang into the palace. Guanyin, Zheng Guanyin, Mrs. Wan and the lord of Xiangyang County lived in the Tang State Mansion in Tongyili, which is now the Tang Palace.

------

Guanyin still lived in the courtyard where she and Li Shimin lived when they got married, and Li Shimin was still in Luoyang at this time, not in the house.

Although Li Shimin is not there, Guanyin seems to be able to see him everywhere.

She and Li Shimin had good memories here.

They got married here, and although they only lived here for more than ten days after marriage, this is an important node in their lives and a testimony to their marriage.

When they came back for the second time, they had planned with Li Yuan to gain military power, and finally their dream came true.

Now it is the third time that Guanyin has stayed in the Tang State Mansion, the world has changed, and Li Yuan and his son are about to take over the world.

------

Twice settled in the Tang State Mansion in Tongyili, and both times were new in the lives of Li Shimin and Guanyin.

Now that Guanyin has returned here for the third time, perhaps more important memories will remain in their lives.

Now Guanyin is eighteen, and Li Shimin is also twenty years old, maybe here, they want to complete the thing that they didn't complete when they got married.

Thinking of this, Guanyin's face couldn't help but flush, and she could hear her own pounding heartbeat.

------

On the second day after returning to Chang'an, Guanyin went to the new house of the eldest grandson Wuji in Chongren to meet her mother Gao Qiuniang.

According to Wen Tingfang, the head of the palace, Guanyin is now the wife of the Duke, and when she returns to her parents' home and the province, she must use the car and honor guard of the Duke of Guo.

Guanyin was too ostentatious, and politely rejected Wen Tingfang's arrangement, although she still used the green calf cart, but the entourage only brought the qin, the exhibition painting, as well as Lu Zheng and four guards, and the group quietly came to Chongren.

------

Gao Qiuniang already knew that Guanyin was coming this day, and the green calf car arrived at the door, and the door of the house was wide open, and she entered the front yard directly from the middle door.

The car stopped in the courtyard, the servants put the stool behind the car, the servant and the painting helped Guanyin get out of the car, and entered the second door, the mother Gao Qiuniang, and the four sisters-in-law Zhen, Ku, Helan, and Lu were all standing in front of the front hall of the backyard and waiting.

------

Seeing Gao Qiuniang, Guanyin crossed her hands and bent her knees to salute.

Gao Qiuniang couldn't help crying with joy when she saw her daughter who had been away for a few years, and she didn't wait for Guanyin to greet the four sisters-in-law, so she came up and grabbed Guanyin's hand and looked up and down.

Kushi is straightforward by nature, and quipped, "The mother is so anxious that she forgets her son-in-law when she sees her daughter, and she doesn't let us take a picture with my maid sister."

The other three wives stood by and smiled.

-------

Gao Qiuniang let go of Guanyin's hand, wiped her tears with her hand, and stood back a little, so that Guanyin had the opportunity to meet the four sisters-in-law.

After seeing the ceremony, Guanyin stepped forward to hold Gao Qiuniang's left arm, supported Gao Qiuniang, and several people entered the backyard vestibule.

Guanyin sat down next to Gao Qiuniang on the couch in the middle, and the eldest sister-in-law Zhen, the second sister-in-law Ku, the third sister-in-law Helan, and the fourth sister-in-law Lu sat on both sides of the hall.

------

A few people sat down, and Guanyin asked about the situation at home first.

Gao Qiuniang introduced to Guanyin that after Tang King Li Yuan led his army into Guanzhong, Guanyin's third uncle, eldest grandson Chang, led the children of the clan to respond in Xinfeng, and the eldest grandson Wuji went to Changchun Palace to meet Tang Wang. Nowadays, most of the people in the clan serve in the imperial court.

The third uncle, Sun Chang, is currently the young eunuch, the second brother Sun Wuyi is the head of the military department, the third brother Sun Wuxian is the chief of the prison gate in the palace, the fourth brother Sun Wuji follows Li Shimin as the marching pawn, and the eldest Sun Hong is also the captain of the prison gate in the palace.

------

Hearing that the eldest grandson Wuxian also served in the palace, Guanyin was very happy in her heart, and she asked her third sister-in-law Helan with a smile, "Does the third brother still drink a lot now?"

Helan said gratefully, "Thanks to Sanniang's persuasion back then, your third brother's drinking problem has changed a lot, and now he only drinks some occasionally, and this time he has entrusted Sanniang's blessing to find an errand in the palace, I hope it will get better and better in the future."

------

talked about the situation at home, and several people talked about the interesting story of Guanyin when she was a child.

Sister-in-law Zhen smiled, "Sanniang was smart when she was a child, and she was a prodigy when she was a few years old, and several nephews and nieces older than her couldn't beat her when they played chess."

The second sister-in-law, Ku, seemed to be a little dissatisfied with Guanyin, and she said to Zhen, "Sister-in-law, don't just say that Sanniang is good, why don't you talk about how eccentric she is, and she has cleaned up our family Ah Zhan, Ah Zhan is such a naughty child, seeing Sanniang is like a mouse seeing a cat."

Zhen pursed his lips and smiled, "You are still upset for your family Ah Zhan, when Sanniang and Ah Zhan pretended to lose in chess, our family Ah gradually held grievances for Ah Zhan, and was almost not scared to cry by Sanniang."

------

The wife of the eldest grandson Wuji didn't know what they were talking about, so she had to listen quietly on the side, watching a few people laugh.

The third sister-in-law, Helan, spoke to Guanyin, "You only said that Sanniang cleaned up Ah Zhan and Ah Yan, why don't you say that she is helping you discipline the children?"

Guanyin listened to a few sisters-in-law talk about her childhood, so she chatted with them, and she always had a knowing smile on her face.

Gao Qiuniang mentioned her daughter, and she can't forget those good memories, "When Ah Wan was a child, she was not only smart, but the key was to be very attentive to learning things, I remember when she started learning chess at the age of four, she sat for a day, and played chess there alone from morning to night."

"Later, when I read the "Seven Techniques of Yin Fu of the Benjing", I got into the book headlong, and I didn't look at the road when I walked, and I was afraid that she would fall into the lake."

------

A few people just talked, and after talking for a long time, Guanyin suddenly remembered why she didn't see the son of the eldest grandson Wuji.
