Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 630 The Royal Family

Such a wonderful place in the world, even Fang Jun, who has been well-informed in two lifetimes, has no choice but to be amazed by it...

Du He fully demonstrated the qualities of an excellent tour guide, pointing to this vast peach forest and introducing: "This peach forest was planted by Emperor Gaozu during his reign. It is wild grass and gravel, so it is unavoidably not beautiful. Who would have thought that it would grow into today's scenic spot? It is a little early now, and there are still many peach trees that have not yet bloomed. If we wait a few more days, all the peach trees will be in full bloom. It's colorful, the mountains and plains are full of literati and poets, and I don't know how much incense money and ink treasures to write poems for Luoxia Temple."

Fang Jun nodded secretly. Now that the Tang Dynasty is more and more prosperous, the country is stable, and the atmosphere is prosperous, it has become a trend for literati to play with brush and ink, which has prompted more wealthy people to be arty, and gradually led to the prevalence of writing style.

Looking around, Fang Jun said with great interest: "You have missed one thing. The abbot of Luoxia Temple is a shrewd businessman. Look at the back mountain. There are so many peach groves. The peaches harvested every year It must be a big income for Luoxia Temple. Even if a catty of peaches costs five cents, you can calculate how many catties of peaches there are so many peach trees, and how much they have to sell..."

"Uh, this..."

Du He was choked and couldn't keep up with Fang Jun's thinking.When pilgrims come to offer incense, it is only natural to donate some sesame oil money. It is also the biggest business in temples and gymnasiums in the world. It is understandable that the calligraphy and poems written by literati and poets can greatly increase the reputation of the temple.But according to what Fang Jun said, imagine bald monks all over the mountains and plains picking peaches to sell for money...

This is too inconsistent.

But Du He is not a nerd who follows the rules, but he is just a little dazed. Imagining the bald monk buying peaches, he can't help laughing, he bends down with laughter, and tears are about to burst out of laughter.

Fang Jun couldn't help being speechless, this kid's smile is too low...

Passers-by along the way looked at Du He who was squatting in the middle of the road and laughing wildly in amazement, and wondered, could this person be a lunatic?I don't know what's so funny about being able to laugh like this!
Fang Jun has black lines all over his face, and he really wants to hide aside, telling passers-by, "We don't know him".Couldn't help saying angrily: "Stand up quickly, it's so embarrassing!"

Du He managed to stop laughing, stood up with difficulty holding his stomach, panting and said: "Fang Erlang, you are too wicked, do you have such an arrangement of monks? Others come to enjoy the flowers and enjoy the spring, to cultivate their sentiments, you Counting the harvest of this peach grove, it is simply vulgar, worthy of being the famous God of Wealth in Guanzhong!"

Fang Jun rolled his eyes angrily, cultivating the sentiment of the fart, if you have the ability, you can tell the monk not to sell peaches?
The two talked and laughed, and entered the peach forest along the mountain road.

As Du He said, at least one-third of the buds in this peach blossom forest have not yet bloomed, so the pink and bright red, like smoke and mist, is still pleasing to the eye.

I also met a lot of people along the way, although there were men and women, most of the women were not from good families, and all of them boldly looked directly at people's faces, with provocative eyes in their eyes.People in the Tang Dynasty enjoyed poetry and wine, and most liked to take famous courtesans to play and have fun in the beautiful scenery...

Du He is a veritable little boy, dressed in silk and satin and wearing gold and silver, young and rich, he is most popular with those kiln sisters and famous prostitutes.Fang Jun's appearance and attire were a little worse, but no one dared to look down on him just because of that casual straight dress. That thick and restrained temperament was more eye-catching than Du He's.

Coupled with the family generals and servants who followed not far behind the two of them, it was obvious that they were of prominent status.Therefore, along the way, I don't know how many attention gifts I have received, and many kiln sisters and famous prostitutes even gave frequent glances and hints.

Although Fang Jun did not lie in his words, Du He was also proud and arrogant. He usually dealt with famous courtesans in Beijing, how could he look down on such vulgar fans?

The two were a little tired from walking, Fang Jun said impatiently: "How far is the place where His Royal Highness King Wei is hosting the banquet?"

Du He raised his finger and pointed to a building hidden in the peach grove in the middle of the mountain: "That's right there."

Fang Jun looked from a distance, and there were still thousands of meters away, and he felt a little regretful in his heart.Although I insist on exercising every day in the mansion, this journey is not a problem, but I was originally in a perfunctory state of mind, and now I have to go such a long way, I can't help but feel that I would have known this so much better to stay in the mansion and sleep... …

It's just that we've come here, so there's no reason to give up halfway.

The mountain road is winding, although it is not rugged, but the twists and turns are tactful, and the scenic spots in the peach forest are patronized one by one.

Suddenly a familiar voice came to his ears.

"In broad daylight, you molested a woman from a good family, do you still have the king's law in your eyes?"

The voice is clear and crisp, but the tone is high-pitched and slightly angry.

Fang Jun frowned slightly, and subconsciously quickened his pace, secretly wondering: Is there anyone else who dares to provoke her?
Turning a corner, there is an octagonal gazebo surrounded by peach forests in front of you. A young girl is standing in the gazebo, with a pretty face full of panic and anxiety.She was wearing an agarwood-colored sweater, a white polished silk skirt, and a gauze flower ornament on her head. She was pure and beautiful, with a touch of tenderness and euphemism.There was a table in front of her, and on the table were several white porcelain plates with candied fruits inside, and a young servant stood beside her to serve them.Two men who looked like guards stood in front of the gazebo, glaring angrily, as if no one else could enter.

Fang Jun glanced at it and recognized that the girl in the gazebo was the female member of the Xie family who fell into his arms in Qinglong Temple that day...

In front of the gazebo, the faces of two gorgeously dressed youths were like water, followed by a large group of servants, confronting the girl in the pavilion.

Opposite the two youths, there is a beautiful girl with a beautiful face, it is Princess Gaoyang...

The girl was dressed in ordinary clothes, a silver-red Shu embroidered double-breasted gown with auspicious and wishful patterns, and a skirt of cloud-patterned sheepskin with a golden edge and gold thread hanging underneath. On her smooth forehead was a bead string made of agate, and a flowery and jade-like skirt. Her pretty face was as dark as a dark cloud before a rainy day, and her beautiful eyes stared fiercely at the leader of a young man.

A group of maids and guards surrounded her.

Then I heard the young man in the lead say with a chuckle: "Oh, my cousin, your crime is too great. I can't bear it. By the way, isn't my cousin getting married? A big girl must look like a big girl." It's not a virtuous look to run around when you are about to get married. Especially the Luoxia Temple has a beautiful scenery, and many young and handsome people hang around here. If it is rumored that my cousin has a bad reputation, wouldn't Fang Er be pissed off? But Cousin can rest assured, if the second house doesn't want you, you can marry cousin, cousin will love and take good care of you, ah ha ha ha..."

This person's tone was extremely frivolous, and his words were even bolder.

Fang Jun was a little surprised, he dared to molest the princess so blatantly, he was so daring!
Then he asked Du He beside him, "Who is this person?"

Du He was overjoyed, gloating and said: "The eldest grandson of Duke Shen Gao Shilian, the eldest son of Princess Dongyang's son-in-law Gao Xing, Gao Ling. Princess Gao Yang is both Gao Ling's aunt and his cousin. He is a real relative."

Fang Jun was speechless, this generation is really messed up...

Gao Shilian is the uncle of Empress Changsun and the uncle of His Majesty Li Er. Gao Shilian's eldest son Gao Shili is the wife, brother and brother-in-law of His Majesty Li Er. Gao Shilian's son is of the same generation as His Majesty Li Er's daughter.But His Majesty Li Er married his daughter Princess Dongyang to Gao Xing, and the seniority was messed up.Gao Xingfu became the son-in-law of His Majesty Li Er, and Princess Gao Yang became Gao Xing's sister-in-law. Gao Xing's son, Gao Ling, naturally wanted to call Princess Gao Yang his aunt...

Fang Jun's mind was in a mess, and he managed to smooth out the relationship.

Princess Gao Yang is Gao Ling's aunt, so Gao Ling's words are extremely inappropriate, how can anyone dare to be so presumptuous with his aunt?But at the same time, Princess Gao Yang is also Gao Ling's cousin, and the cousin teased her a few times, but it's really not a big deal...

Of course, in any kind of relationship, there are differences between close and distant.

Before Princess Dongyang married Gao Xing, Princess Gaoyang was Gao Ling's cousin, and she could speak whatever she wanted.But Princess Dongyang is Gao Ling's biological mother, and Princess Gao Yang is Gao Ling's biological aunt, so these words are outrageous no matter what.

Fang Jun was surprised and said, "Is this person out of his mind? How dare he say such a thing? Why don't Gao Xing beat him to death?"
