Chapter Twenty-Six: The Fallen Pioneers

For example, outsiders think that the sons of the family who use poetry and books to inherit their families, the first love is literature, poetry and books, and the purpose of marrying a wife is just to reproduce incense, and marrying a daughter is to let other people's families reproduce incense, not to cling to power.

Therefore, the men of the Gan family dare not make a big show even if they are greedy for flowers and concubines, and the women will never be sent to the families of the powerful to live a poor life even if they marry into the Bai Ding family.

In fact, the Gan family has been prosperous for hundreds of years, and with the passing of generations from generation to generation, the relationship between the family is getting farther and farther away, and its attention is small, so it will naturally do something that is despised by scholars, and even some Gan clan people directly stop studying and turn to business to make a living.

But again, someone else is someone else.

Like the third, fifth, seventh, and eighth uncles, who have not yet come out of the five suits of the Gan family, their actions will always be linked to the Gan family, and their words and deeds are absolutely controlled by the patriarch.

For example, the matter of these four uncles taking concubines.

In the second grandfather's family, three of the four sisters-in-law accepted more than one concubine.

The third uncle's mother's family, because the third uncle and mother have not had children for many years, so the concubine gave birth to a son, the fifth uncle's family is similar, and the seventh uncle's family is the seventh uncle's greedy and lustful, quietly accepting, and then the children born in each concubine's room are brought up under the name of the wife, and they are all concubines.

These uncles have a reason to take concubines, the seventh uncle has been criticized for being greedy and lustful, but I didn't expect him to be able to break through the bottom line and make his concubine a little for the prince of Shun!

"Just last summer, your cousin was also miserable, and she was sent out by your seventh uncle at the age of thirteen, and the son of King Shun is in his thirties, and his cousin's father is rich."

Gan Tang was shocked in her heart, if she didn't have the support of her family, she was afraid that the current situation would not even be comparable to her cousin of the same age.

"Fourth uncle, what is the situation of my third uncle and eighth uncle's house now? It won't be the field in Linxian County now, which is in the hands of the two of them. ”

"Back then, that piece of land was managed by one of your cousins and grandfathers, and then your cousin and grandfather passed away, so they were managed by your third uncle, since your second uncle and the two of them said about recommending officials, from your eighth uncle and fourth uncle, it is not like brothers, concubines are not like concubines, cousins are not like cousins, cousins...... Needless to say, this relationship is not to be said.

Your third uncle and mother are also good people, and over the years, they have been guilty of not being able to give birth to a son in the same line as your third uncle, so they have worked hard to find a good lady to give birth to a child. ”

The third uncle suddenly lowered her voice, "Tang'er, it's not that I deliberately said good things to you, and it's not that I want to shirk and don't want your fourth uncle to get involved in the affairs of your third uncle and eighth uncle...... At the beginning, the prince of Shun Wang looked at a cousin from your third uncle's family, oh, you also saw it, it was a girl in a light purple skirt brought by your third uncle yesterday, your third uncle and the third uncle and his wife, they refused without thinking about it. ”

If the royal man looks down on the daughter of the Gan family, as long as he gives enough money, it is not impossible to deal with this family affair like the third uncle's family.

"Last year, when your third uncle and third aunt refused this family affair, they were counted down by your second grandfather, but they still didn't let go. When your third uncle first took over the field, the land was fertile and abundant, and the tenant farmers could pay the tenant money...... To put it mildly, even if your third uncle's family is greedy for ink, and it has never been chaotic like it is today, don't you know that since your eighth uncle intervened, the money handed over by the tenant farmers has become less and less, and the accounts have become more and more chaotic. Your fourth uncle is a government official in the county government, and he is helpless against your eighth uncle, but whenever he feels wronged, he writes to your second uncle, and then your second uncle writes to your fourth uncle, so that your fourth uncle does not dare to do it. ”

Gan Tang smiled after a while and said, "Since the fourth uncle and mother strongly recommend it, then I will go to the third uncle's house, but please keep this matter secret from the fourth uncle first." ”

The fourth uncle smiled knowingly, "God knows, you know and I know...... Oh, no, there is also your fourth uncle knows, Tang'er, the fourth uncle and aunt don't lie to you, I am partial to help your third uncle's family, but before the troubles in this field are over, I will let your fourth uncle keep an eye on it, and there will be no new troubles. ”

Gan Tang couldn't make a big gift in the car, so he bowed to the fourth uncle and aunt, "Tang'er thank you to the fourth uncle." ”

……

Returning from Qimang Mountain, it was already the end of the Shen period.

Gan Tang and the family of the fourth uncle and mother were separated at the gate of the city, and now the sky is orange, and the beauty is overwhelming.

As soon as Gan Tang spoke, "Go to Wenrufang......" A flash of lightning and thunder suddenly sounded from the burning clouds on the horizon, followed by raindrops the size of beans and fell.

"Go to the teahouse in front of you to take shelter from the rain." Gan Tang hurriedly changed his words

Rao is carriage has been speeding all the way, and when he arrived at the teahouse, several guards and soldiers were also drenched in soup.

"Xiao Er, hurry up and go to the room, and then cook some ginger soup for our group of soldiers." The housekeeper gave instructions in an orderly manner, and then the teahouse Xiaoer sent Gan Tang to the upper room.

When Gan Tang went to the room, he was full of joy and asked the drunken child Xun'er to open the window.

The housekeeper looked unhappy, "Girl, the weather is getting colder and colder, beware of catching a cold, you will have to go out next." ”

Gan Tang was quite happy, "Mama Li, I'll look at the rain from the window for a while." Come and take a look at the current rain scene, there are mountains, trees and strange stones, the river is connected with the Bo River outside the city, it is particularly magnificent and colorful, eh, the egret flies! Gan Tang looked at the scenery in the rain curtain with great interest, "In the sassy autumn rain written by the poet in the past, shallow stones slipped. Jumping waves splashed against each other, and the egrets were shocked, so they didn't deceive me. ”

Gantang likes to rain, in the past, because after the rain, people are not haunting, she can get a moment of quiet, but later she found that she can calm down in the rain, and she likes rainy days more and more.

"Girl, come to this window on the side of the road and take a look, isn't it our future aunt who is leading the horse? He ......"

...... in the rain Leading horses?

Who could Yan Long make Lu Xun do such a thing?

Gan Tang lifted the hem of her skirt and trotted to the window where she could see the street, and she fixed her eyes to see that the man riding the horse in the rain and the person leading the horse recognized his identity.

The person leading the horse is Lu Xun, and the person riding the horse is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who has just been deposed.

At this time, Lu Xun was wearing a scarlet embroidered pandan pattern flying crane official uniform, wearing a double-winged black gauze hat, a nine-ring stone belt around his waist, and black forged square-toe shoes.

In the rain curtain, Lu Xun's expression was solemn, and the rain hit him mercilessly, and he was neither humble nor arrogant.

Compared with Lu Xun, the people on the horse are much better when they look at it.

Dressed in a cyan gown, her long hair is only fixed with wooden hairpins, and she only wears double clogs on her feet, if it weren't for Gan Tang still remembering that face, she really didn't dare to think that the prince of the dignified dynasty would be so marketing and lifeless.

Lu Xun was so busy some time ago, did the former crown prince still fail in the struggle for power with the queen mother?

Would he be frustrated?

People have a soul in their hearts, as if they will come suddenly in an instant.

Gan Tang looked at the man who led the horse with a good look, and when the man who led the horse walked to the door of the teahouse, Fu Zhi raised his head in his heart.

The rain hit Lu Xun's face and body, and the bean-sized raindrops were ruthlessly tight, so that Lu Xun's clothes were wet, and they fell to the ground, converging with the shallow stream, as if taking a slow step, it would be lifted by these two people.

Lu Xun, who had been expressionless, didn't smile at her until he was sure that what he saw was Gan Tang.

Gan Tang suddenly felt sad, obviously both of them are the kind of peerless sons and daughters who have seen all the Chang'an flowers in one day, how could they become like this?

In the rain, the young man on the horse only raised his eyelids lazily, and he didn't know if he saw Gantang.

Lu Xun only heard one sentence in his ear, "Yiyi, I won't drink your wedding wine." ”

Lu Xun held the reins of his hand, and suddenly his muscles burst out.

Half an hour later, the clouds stopped raining, but the wind came in a hurry, and the people who blew it were cold to the bones.

"Girl, go and wait in the carriage, this wind is like a knife, and it hurts to blow."

Gan Tang travels, has always brought two sets of clothes, these days Mama Li saw that the weather has changed greatly, so in addition to the dress and cloak, seeing that Gan Tang insisted on refusing to get into the carriage, Mama Li had to put the cloak on Gan Tang, and then let a few government soldiers block the outlet.

This road is the only way for Lu Xun to go home, Gan Tang doesn't know where he and the crown prince are going, but she thinks that as long as she waits here, she can see Lu Xun.

"Girl, it's going to be a curfew, let's go back, Lu Shizi is afraid that he won't go home."

People don't like to wait, because waiting is always long and boring, but if that person is the person who has his heart in mind, even if the waiting time becomes long because of idleness, people are willing to wait.

Gan Tang was in such a mood at the moment, she didn't feel anything uncomfortable being blown by the cold wind during the time she was waiting, because she knew that Lu Xun was more uncomfortable than her now.

The drums sounded again, Gan Tang regretfully walked to the side of the carriage, at this moment she realized that her feet were floating, if it weren't for the drunken Xun'er two to support her left and right, she would have fallen.

As soon as he stepped into the carriage, the sound of horses' hooves clattered in Gantang's ears.

She turned her head sharply, and then hung her head with regret in her eyes, she was just a city patrolman.

When the curfew was approaching, the city patrol kept urging them to leave, but Mama Li and the others did not dare to delay, so they hurriedly stuffed Gantang into the carriage.

The shouting of the chariots and horses was shouted especially rhythmically by the skilled coachmen and guards.

Gan Tang must admit that at this moment she is still looking forward to Lu Xun's appearance.

But this night, she spent half an hour, after returning to Bian's Mansion from the only way back to Yanguo Mansion, she hurriedly ate some supper, and then was pressed by Mama Li to pour two large bowls of hot ginger soup, soak in a comfortable hot bath, and then put on a bed made of soft brocade, lying on the high bed soft pillow, Lu Xun did not appear.
