Text Chapter 8 Meet in the Basho Courtyard
The eastern Kyushu of the Tongqi Dynasty naturally includes the land of Kyushu, and is also known as the eighty-one prefectures, which basically means that there are eighty-one important cities, of course, not the number of prefectures and counties in each state is the same, and it also depends on the size of a state.
In a state as Dongjiang Prefecture, which covers a wide area, there are 16 prefectures under its jurisdiction, and some small prefectures may only have three or four prefectures.
In Eastern Kyushu, there are naturally big and small, but they all have one thing in common, that is, no matter how big or small, in each state capital there is a courtyard next to the garrison shogun's mansion, this courtyard is generally not large, but it is very chic, except for the people in the garrison shogun's mansion, almost no one else knows the origin of this courtyard.
Of course, next to the garrison general's mansion in Jinchuan Prefecture, Liaozhou, there is a courtyard, which is a large courtyard, and everyone knows its origin, because this is the residence of the master of East Kyushu, the great general Wang Tang Cheng's family.
The courtyard in the center of Jiankang City, called Basho, has long been inhabited and cared for, and there are also nurses and housekeepers, but there is little contact with people from the outside world.
It was only a few days ago that twenty or thirty people had been relocated here, most of whom were young women, and it caused quite a stir at the time, and some ruffians and local ruffians wanted to get acquainted with one or two young women in a gag, only to be beaten back by the accompanying guards.
I naturally want to take revenge when I was beaten, especially when I was beaten by someone who looked like an outsider, as a local gentleman, where can I swallow this breath.
But when they gathered some thugs from the courtyard at home to rush over and want to be majestic, they found that the pro-army guarding the General's Mansion on the side was actually driven out by the gatehouse of this small courtyard, and without saying anything, they drooped their heads and went back to the General's Mansion.
Needless to say, both the gentleman and the dog's legs went back in ashes. Because these new women basically don't go out, there are no more other squires to harass. Of course, it is very important that the previous gentleman more or less added oil and vinegar to spread the origin of the owner of this small courtyard.
There are many versions, such as some say that it is the family of a wealthy family in the rivers and lakes, some say that it is an important minister of the imperial court, and some are more exaggerated, saying that it is the private concubine room of the general's house.
In short, there are a lot of rumors, but fortunately, they have not yet reached the ears of Tang Yulou, who has just arrived.
Tang Yulou re-entered Jiankang City in a very low-key manner, even if he entered his own courtyard in Jiankang City, it was very secretive, and he did not walk with the five glamorous girls.
So far, this Jiankang and even the ground in Dongjiang Prefecture have not known that our little prince has arrived. Under Tang Yulou's instructions, a military order had already been issued in the entire garrison general's mansion, and not half a word should be leaked.
......
Xue Yishuang, who is the concubine of the Heavenly Bead Palace, was already a famous martial arts master at the beginning of her entry into the red dust, of course, the existence of this level is only known to those real masters in the world, and even Lao Jiu, who has reached the Nine Rank Realm, cannot be explored.
After more than ten years of immersion in the palace martial arts cheats, his own strength has improved again, and when Lao Jiu faced the princess of Allure again, he finally understood how unfathomable the woman in front of him was, and how vast the world's martial arts were.
Tang Yulou's name was given by his mother, and even Wang Tang Chengdu, the dignified and dignified Tianzhu general of the Qi Dynasty, did not interject half of his mouth.
At the beginning, after Princess Xue Yishuang confirmed that she was pregnant, she returned to the mysterious sect unknown to the world for three months. During this period, even Tang Cheng encountered great difficulties in his expedition, and he didn't take care of it.
Three months later, when the husband and wife got together again, Xue Yishuang's face was extremely haggard, if there was a third person who was also a master in the world, he would find that the original martial arts master, his martial arts cultivation had fallen by two small realms, and he was almost about to fall out of the small innate realm that countless people dreamed of.
Xue Yishuang came back, and at the same time brought back the name Tang Yulou, so sure that it was a boy in her womb, which should have been able to make Tang Cheng ecstatic. But in the face of such a recent situation, even if Tang Cheng didn't know what was going on, he could guess that the woman in front of him must have faced an extremely harsh encounter.
Tang Yulou's name has been decided, and there have been many titles that have fallen on him since he was born, Little Wangye, Little Master, Young Master, Xiao Tang, Xiao Lou, Yu'er. The last three titles are basically called by people close to him. For example, parents and sisters, as well as the aunt of the Empress Ehuang who lives in the sky, they will call Tang Yulou Yu'er.
Some gentlemen brothers, friends in the rivers and lakes, and military seniors are called Xiao Tang or Xiao Lou. Of course, there is another type of person who will call him Xiaolou's younger brother very sensitively, these people were born in the Qinglou Red Pavilion.
"Brother Xiaolou, Brother Xiaolou. ”
A girl's voice like a nightingale came from the front yard of the plantain courtyard, and Tang Yulou under the grape trellis in the inner courtyard showed a charming smile.
Don't get me wrong, the title of 'Brother Xiaolou' has nothing to do with the Red Pavilion of the Qinglou, to be honest, even if Tang Yulou visits the Qinglou, he has no interest in those loli like bean sprouts.
So far, there is only one person who calls him 'Brother Xiaolou', that is, Xi Dujuan, who has run into the inner courtyard with laughter, the little girl who wore linen and filial piety with him when he was three years old, and has the courage not to cry on his back, the only daughter of Xi Longquan, the general of the Kuohai Sea.
Tang Yulou greeted him with a smile, the little girl is already ten years old, to be honest, as long as she is not blind, she can see that this will definitely be a beauty at the level of disaster to the country and the people in a few years.
Xi Dujuan almost threw herself into Tang Yulou's arms, and the two hadn't seen each other for three years. Since Xi Longquan took office in Dongjiang, she has been living in Jiankang with her father and has never set foot in Tiange City again.
Because of the continuous war in the past ten years, the Tang family army has been old and stroked, and many people's children have grown up in the palace, but there are not many people who are similar in age to Tang Yulou, and Xi Dujuan, who is six years younger than him, is relatively close in age.
So the two of them can be regarded as having grown up since childhood, staying together for six or seven years, and the feelings cultivated in this enlightenment stage are the most pure and unshakable.
So even if Xi Dujuan now has some dignified and ladylike appearance, in other big families, she should be the age of living in Xiulou for a long time and not showing up at will, the moment she saw Tang Yulou, she still threw herself into Tang Yulou's arms like a child, just like when she was three years old, he carried her, and she was no longer afraid.
"Giggles!" Tang Yulou hugged Xi Dujuan and turned around twice, and the little girl's cheerful laughter spread throughout the courtyard.
If it weren't for Xi Longquan's pretending to be angry and reprimanding, I'm afraid the little girl wouldn't be willing to come down. No, even if she had left Tang Yulou's embrace, her little hand had been holding his hand, and her big eyes were rippling.
"No big or small girl, please don't blame the little prince. Although Xi Longquan sounded like he was accusing him, the smile on his face was not hidden at all.
"Okay, Uncle Quan, don't be so polite to your own people, and it's not in the barracks, you can call me Xiaolou or. As he spoke, Tang Yulou took Xi Dujuan by the hand, and a few people walked towards the house.
"Hmph. Xi Dujuan seemed to be supported by someone, wrinkled his good-looking nose and snorted softly at his father, very arrogant.
Xi Longquan happily followed into the house, he wished that his daughter would be close to the little prince. Maybe in the future, I can get a prince and an old man. The more I thought about it, the happier I became, and I almost didn't stumble over the high threshold.
After entering the house, Xi Dujuan finally didn't continue to stick to Tang Yulou, and after sitting down, the green bamboo girl personally served tea to a few people.
The best in the big red robe can be regarded as a specialty of the Dongjiang River, just one or two tea trees, there are special garrison guards around, and it is said that a special position has been set up, called what is the southern Fujian tea envoy, who is responsible for the tea ceremony and tribute, in fact, it is almost for these two tea trees.
After sitting down, the moment Xi Dujuan, who had just jumped out, picked up the teacup, the style of painting changed abruptly, and she was really a beautiful girl, which showed that she was usually influenced by the very formal style of the Central Plains.
On the contrary, it was Xi Longquan, drinking tea like drinking, and he didn't even care about the hot mouth, so he almost chewed and swallowed the tea leaves.
Tang Yulou rolled his eyes at him, how could the Tang family army do all these reckless men.
"Uncle Quan, I'd like to discuss something with you. Putting down the teacup, Xi Longquan first glanced at Xi Dujuan, whose big eyes kept wandering, and then said to General Kuohai, who was still blinking.
"Oh, what do you still have to discuss?Xiaolou, this is not like your style, but I heard that in the past two years in Tiange City, there are legends of Tiange Xiaobawang everywhere. Xi Longquan touched his mouth, and the water droplets on his beard were carried by him, and he teased.
Tang Yulou pinched his forehead, it's really a good thing not to go out, but a bad thing to spread thousands of miles. But fortunately, it seems that Sister Cuckoo didn't care, and it seems that she still looks curious and adoring.
However, the name of this cuckoo is really not good, and only a big man like Xi Longquan would give such a name.
"Well, that, Uncle Quan, the word cuckoo, to be honest, it's not impossible to be a name, but it's not very suitable for the women of our family, you see, the name 'Xi Juan' is much better than Xi Cuckoo?"
Xi Longquan didn't expect this to be the case, naming is really not what he is good at, originally he married the daughter-in-law of a scholarly family, but because of dystocia, he gave birth to a daughter and passed away.
Originally, because he didn't like Xi Longquan, who was just an ordinary cavalry at the time, he didn't agree to this family business, and the most outstanding youngest daughter passed away, and the daughter-in-law of the Yizhou valve, who was also a state valve in the scholarly family, also cut off contact with his family.
"Hey!" sighed in his heart, thinking of his hard-working daughter-in-law for no reason. What a brilliant woman, but she fell in love with herself who was completely reckless and pawn-like at that time.
On the day of the cave room, Xi Longquan asked the lovely woman who had become his wife, why so many young handsome literati did not choose, the woman smiled, but said that in the alley behind her house, there were always a few children who could not eat enough to enter her show building, and she could always see a young man in armor and a knife distributing the military rations on his body to those children, and the big man just looked at the children and laughed, just laughing.
Secretly wiping the dampness from the corners of his eyes, Xi Longquan said with a big grin: "Xi Juan is good, Xiaolou has read a book after all, this article is not said." ”
While speaking, his thumb did not forget to give Tang Yulou a thumbs up.
"Hong'er, you must think so too. "I silently thought in my heart, Qin Hong'er was his deceased wife, she had not remarried for ten years after losing her wife, and she never married again for the rest of her life.
