Li Jiancheng left Chang'an, Concubine Yin Defei and Zhang Jieyu were snubbed by Li Yuan, and peace was temporarily restored in the Taiji Palace.

Li Shimin wanted to be a low-key person, but he was remembered by the wealthy and powerful families in Chang'an City who were familiar with the ups and downs of the Huan Sea.

He wanted to keep a low profile, but others kept him low-key.

------

One day, Guanyin chatted with Wan Guifei in the Qianqiu Palace, and Wan Guifei said to Guanyin in a confused tone, "This world is pure and rare, and now some women from wealthy families of the world do not do the right wife, but they are bent on being other people's concubines."

Hearing Wan Guifei say this, Guanyin also felt very strange, the marriage of the family family pays the most attention to the family background, even if the concubine born to the concubine marries, she must be a wife, how can she think of being a concubine?

------

Guanyin thought that Concubine Wan was joking with her, and said in disbelief, "Aunt is in the inner courtyard of the deep palace, are those wives who make you happy and make up nonsense to deceive you?"

Concubine Wan Guifei said matter-of-factly, "No, this is my aunt's personal experience, there are several women from wealthy families who have entrusted me to be a matchmaker for her daughter."

"My aunt tried her best to recruit for them, and picked a few well-known family Langjun, but they were not satisfied, so she asked her aunt to introduce them to a Langjun as a concubine."

------

How smart is Guanyin? Having said this, she already knew the meaning of Concubine Wan's words, which was obviously trying to test her around the bush and wanted to introduce Li Shimin's concubine room.

The families of the powerful are different from ordinary families, they are all monogamous and have multiple concubines. As the emperor, he is a harem concubine, and even so, the queen often presides over the emperor's draft girls.

------

The wife of the emperor's family is not only pretending to be a man and a woman, but also the royal family to spread out and reproduce heirs.

Guanyin, as the princess of Qin, it is her bounden duty to make Li Shimin's house prosperous.

The more children there are, the more fiefs you have, and the more powerful people you can get into through marriage. Only when there is an intricate relationship with the elites of the world can there be more support among the government and the opposition, and the power position will be more stable.

------

If Guanyin wants to monopolize Li Shimin's feelings, it will be intolerable by patriarchal etiquette and will be condemned by moral public opinion.

Therefore, although Guanyin was unwilling in her heart, she also had to force herself to arrange a concubine for Li Shimin to consolidate Li Shimin and her own power position.

Since Wan Guifei has already mentioned it, Guanyin has to ask which woman wants to be Li Shimin's concubine.

------

Although Guanyin had already seen through Concubine Wan's motives, she pretended not to know and asked, "Which woman is the aunt talking about, who has such a different idea?"

Wan Guifei smiled and said, "There are no less than a dozen families who have such thoughts, I will only say that the two families are the most prominent, and Ah Wan must have heard of them."

"One is Wei Jue, the daughter of Wei Yuancheng, the Duke of Yunguo, and the other is Yan Jing, the granddaughter of the former King of De."

------

"Wei Jue, Yan Jing?" Hearing the names of these two people, it immediately aroused the interest of Guanyin, these are two women who are known to everyone in the Jingshi family.

One is known as "the closest to the sky", and the other is known as "the first talented woman in Beijing".

------

During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Sui and Tang dynasties, the family of the family paid the most attention to the family, whether it was an official or a marriage of the family, the level of the family was an important factor to consider.

The family also attaches great importance to the cultivation of children, in order to allow their own women to marry a good family, in addition to careful training, but also to have a good reputation.

Those who have a heart will spread the excellence of their daughters in different ways, in order to attract the attention of the dignitaries of the world, hoping to form a good marriage.

------

Let's talk about this woman who is known as "the closest to the sky", Wei Jue.

Wei Jue was born in the Wei family in the south of the city, which is across the road from the imperial city.

The Wei family is a famous family in Chang'an, Beijing, and has been waiting for generations, and lives in Guangluli, which is across the road from the imperial city.

There is a proverb among the people of Chang'an City: "Weidu in the south of the city, go to the fifth day of the sky".

It means that the Wei family and the Du family in the south of the imperial city are the closest to the Son of Heaven.

The two families of Wei's and Du's not only live close to the Son of Heaven, but also have a lot of talents above the court, and there are many high-ranking officials and dignitaries.

The mentioned Webster is the Wei family where Wei Jue was born; The said Du family is the Du family where Li Shimin's staff Du Ruhui is located.

------

The Wei family has been prominent for generations, and Wei Jue's grandfather was the Taifu of the Great Zhou.

In Wei Jue's father's generation, the Wei family is still prosperous.

Wei Yuancheng, Wei Qi's father, was the third division of Sui Kaifuyi, Chen Shen Erzhou Assassin Shi, and Yun Guogong.

Wei Kuangbo's uncle, Wei Kuangbo, was the prince of Shangyi and Shu Guo in the Sui Dynasty.

------

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan had just been proclaimed emperor, in order to win the hearts of the people and win over everyone in the world to consolidate their position, the title of Sui Shi was not abolished, so these nobles of the family still inherited the title of Sui Shi.

Therefore, Wei Yuancheng, Wei Qi's father, is still the Duke of Yunguo; Wei Kuangbo's uncle, Wei Kuangbo, is still the Duke of Shu Guo.

The two brothers and the two princes show the dignity of the Wei family's status.

------

There are so many women in the Wei family, all of whom live in Guanglu, which is "five feet from the sky", why does only Wei Jue dare to claim to be "closest to the sky"?

This is because Wei Jue is tall enough.

How tall is it?

Some people may not believe it, but he is two feet tall, two inches taller than the tall and heroic Li Shimin.

Some people will say, how do you know that Li Shimin is six feet tall? There is a source to this statement.

------

In the Tang Dynasty, the foot was smaller than it is now, at 30.7 centimeters.

One step is five feet, and the length of one step in the Tang Dynasty is determined by the length of one step each of Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, the distance between Li Shimin's left and right feet is 153.5 centimeters.

According to experience, Li Shimin's height can be deduced from the step distance to be 185 centimeters.

In this way, according to one foot in the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin's height is more than six feet.

------

As a woman, Wei Jue was six feet tall, which was rare in the world at that time.

With such a tall figure, there is no one to compare with the women in Chang'an City, so naturally they dare to claim to be "closest to the sky".

In fact, saying that Wei Jue is "closest to the sky" has another meaning.

But this is another layer of meaning, which can only be understood, not spoken. To speak out is a sin of disobedience, and there is a danger of being killed.

------

After talking about Wei Jue, who is "closest to the sky", let's talk about Yan Jing, who is known as the "No. 1 talented woman in Beijing".

said that Wei Jue was "closest to the sky", Guanyin was irrefutable.

However, saying that Yan Jing is "the first talented woman in Beijing", Guanyin was a little unconvinced in her heart, but she didn't want to worry about it, and people said this just to make a name for themselves.

------

Yan family, surname Murong.

Yan Xun's grandfather, Yan Rong, followed Emperor Wu of Zhou to conquer the Northern Qi Dynasty in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and was awarded the three divisions of Kaifu Yi with meritorious service, and was awarded the title of Gaoyi County Duke.

Yan Jing's mother is the third daughter of Yang Xiong, the Taiwei of the Sui Dynasty and the King of De, who has a noble character, and is more talented than Meng's mother.

------

The mother is full of learning, and the name of her daughter is also meaningful.

The word "荇" is taken from the Book of Songs, which means that there is the virtue of a concubine.

******

The Book of Songs. Guan Ju has clouds:

Guan Guan Ju Dove, in the river island. My Fair Lady, Gentleman.

Jagged wattles, left and right flowing. My Fair Lady, I covet it.

I can't ask for it, but I can't think about it. Leisurely, tossing and turning.

Jagged wattles, picked left and right. My Fair Lady, Friends of the Piano.

Jagged wattle, left and right. My Fair Lady, Bells and Drums.

******

The flowering and edible herb is a metaphor for a woman who has reached the age of marriage and is the object of a man's courtship. Harvesting is the process of courtship, symbolizing beautiful love.

Confucius said: "Guan Ju" is happy but not Yin, sad but not sad. It is a moral implication of the virtue of the concubine, the wind in the world and the husband and wife.

------

According to legend, Yan Jing was deeply loved by her parents since she was a child, and her mother Yang carefully cultivated and received a good education. She has a quiet posture, a leisurely demeanor, noble manners, flexible handling of things, is good at female popularity, and is full of poetry and writing.

It is also rumored that Yan Jing has a smart temperament, extensive knowledge, is good at writing, and has the ability to never forget. Her brother Yan Jingsi asked her to read "Shanglin Fu", Yan Jing hurriedly browsed and immediately recited it.

------

These two women, both of whom are wealthy and powerful, are the daughters of a wealthy and prosperous family, and they don't want to be the wife of a respected family, but they want to be concubines for others.

It is really unreasonable for ordinary people to think about it.

But such a family can maintain its longevity after several generations, and the elders in the family are naturally not fools, their abacus is better than anyone else's, and there must be a reason for letting their own daughters marry others as concubines.

------

Guanyin heard Wan Guifei tell her that the two famous ladies in Beijing wanted to make concubines for others, so she knew that they were beating Li Shimin's idea.

After Li Shimin pacified Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande, his worth doubled, and his status in Li Yuan's heart directly surpassed that of the prince.

Those who have experienced the ups and downs of the sea have long seen the clues, how can they be mixed in Beijing without this ability? I don't know how many families are weighing the pros and cons and are ready to bet on Li Shimin.

------

Li Shimin already has a concubine Guanyin, and she is a descendant of the royal family of the Northern Qi Dynasty.

Therefore, it is impossible for others to be Li Shimin's concubine, and if they want to marry Li Shimin's woman, they can only be concubines.

Li Shimin is now the King of Qin, with only one concubine and two concubines, and his daughter will definitely have a chance to be favored when she marries, maybe in a year or two, she will be able to give birth to a son and a half daughter.

has children, according to Li Yuan's current practice of dividing the feuds, at least he must be crowned a county king and county lord, as the mother of the child, although it is Li Shimin's concubine, her worth will increase immediately, and she will become a first-class foreign wife.

------

If Li Shimin can inherit the unification, he will be the next emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Although no one dared to say this, those nobles of the clan couldn't help but think about it.

When that time comes, it will be too late to send your daughter to the palace.

The emperor's harem concubines are like clouds, and it is even more difficult to get the emperor's favor.

------

Therefore, those calculating families must be accurate enough for the selection of the future emperor, the timing of marrying their daughters, and the good enough daughters.

However, if these people will calculate, it depends on whether Li Shimin agrees or not, and Guanyin agrees or not.
