Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

262 Marriage

There are only two long tables in the small garden, women and young ladies are sitting at the tables, and several peach trees not far away are blooming like haze, especially one peach tree, half body is white, half body is red, which is attractive attention.

The Li family in Longxi is choosing a daughter-in-law, and it is the most prestigious Danyang house of the Li family in Longxi. Quite a number of families are interested in this.

Mrs. Zhu sat at the end of the long table, and beside her was Mrs. Yang, the daughter-in-law of Mrs. Zhang in Wucheng, Qinghe County, who had just been grateful to her. She herself came from Mrs. Yang, Hongnong. Zhang Wenguan who went to Beijing.

Under Yang's low-pitched introduction, Zhu memorized the backgrounds of all the people present, hesitating in his heart, although they all said to bow their heads to marry a daughter and raise their heads to pick up a wife, isn't the family's expectations a bit high?

There are a total of eight families, among which Fan Yang Lu's family came the most, with three daughters-in-law and four young ladies... Among the five surnames and seven families, the main branches are less married, and they are only married internally. But it is also biased.

For example, the Li family of Zhaojun and the Cui family of Boling were married for generations, and the Lu family of Fanyang and the Zheng family of Xingyang were married for generations.

The Longxi Li clan mainly married the Qinghe Cui clan and the Fanyang Lu clan for generations, so the Fanyang Lu clan and the Qinghe Cui clan accounted for half of the eight families today.

The rest of the families are probably the second-level families, such as the Liu family of Hedong and the Xue family of Hedong.

Mrs. Zhu pondered in her heart that Dalang had restrained his temper and had a gentle temperament in the past two years, but at the critical moment, he still kept his word. Marrying a daughter from a powerful family may not be a good thing... But if Dalang wants to make progress in his official career, marriage is inevitable. take a step.

Although it was actually for marriage, it was only for enjoying the scenery in name, and these rich and noble girls were not the ones to be picked and picked by others, they just showed up on similar occasions... indicating that they were almost of age.

Mrs. Changsun also told Mrs. Zhu in advance that there are many similar occasions, so let's choose slowly... With Li Shan's character and talent, although he is not a child of a powerful family, he is not a child of a poor family, so there is still room for choice.

In fact, the most important reason is that the Changsun family found out from Qin Wangfei that Cui Xin, a famous scholar of the Qinghe Cui family, was interested, but it was a pity that Li Shan killed Cui Bo a few days later...

Outsiders think that Li Shan, who has made great achievements in Shandong, is vacillating between the East Palace and the King of Qin. After all, he has a good relationship with both sides... But the Changsun family who knows Li Shan's life experience knows it well.

In the future when his life experience will be revealed to the world, Li Shan must have joined the King of Qin's command. Such a young hero is qualified to marry with a prominent family.

"After half a month in Beijing, I have heard about Li Huairen's poetic talent for a long time. Recently, the peach blossoms are in full bloom. I wonder if there are any good works?"

The voice was slightly sharp, and Zhu turned her head to look at a young woman. She remembered Yang's introduction before, this is Fan Yang Lu's daughter-in-law, who was born in Qinghe Cui.

In the past, everyone was drinking to enjoy the scenery, and those who refused to drink were ordered to drink. Zhu Shi drank several cups in a row, and she saw this Cui Shi's face was full of sarcasm.

Mrs. Zhu raised her brows and was about to speak when a woman next to her rushed forward with a smile and said, "Didn't my sister hear about it... Li Huairen's poems must be scrutinized. , I'm afraid the peaches are all picked to make wine."

Everyone laughed, Yang nodded and said: "Erlang came to Chang'an today, let him come to ask Huairen tomorrow, maybe he can write a poem before the flower falls."

"Zhigui is coming to Chang'an?" The woman asked curiously, "Is elder brother coming too?"

Yang shook her head and said: "My husband has no time, Erlang wants to settle down in Chang'an, and intends to prepare for the scientific examination next year."

Not far away, Changsun's family glanced over, unexpectedly, Cui Xin's wife, Zhang's family, was willing to rescue Zhu's family... Also, Li Shan had the grace of saving his life's nephew, Zhang Wenguan.

More than ten days ago, Cui Xin, a famous Shandong scholar who had been an official since the pre-Sui Dynasty, set off to enter the customs, arrived in Chang'an, and was appointed by the sage Li Yuan as a member of Zhongshushe.

Zhongshu Sheren, his character is not high, but he is an extremely important key position in Zhongshu Province. Those who are not talented, educated, and of high character cannot be regarded as... In fact, this official position has been the only way to become a prime minister. .

After chatting for a while, the banquet broke up, leaving in twos and threes, Mrs. Yang dragged Mrs. Zhu to whisper something, suddenly a young lady with bright eyes and bright teeth came over and saluted, "Greetings, Auntie, Mrs. Zhu. "

Yang hesitated for a while before introducing with a smile: "This is the eldest daughter of the Cui family, ranked twelve."

Miss Cui blushed, and secretly looked at Mrs. Zhu.

With a smile on his face, Mrs. Zhu, who was completely ignorant of the inside story, was also looking at this little girl. She was beautiful and dignified, with little gold and silver jewelry, and her voice was like a lark, clear and melodious.

"The pacification of Shandong is thanks to Li Langjun." Miss Cui said in a low voice, "After ten days in Chang'an, I heard about Li Langjun's poetic talent."

"Thank you." Zhu was a little proud... Although she still doesn't know why her son suddenly became talented in poetry, she can be sure that it wasn't Ma Zhou and Ling Jing who wrote it for him.

"Peach blossoms are blooming today, such a grand occasion, if it can be made into poetry..."

"If it really becomes a poem, my aunt will definitely tell you." Yang smiled and pointed over there, "Your mother is still waiting for you."

Mrs. Yang is a sensible person. In fact, Zhang Wenguan was her son who first had this idea... Now it seems that Mrs. Cui has been moved. Could it be that she met her in Qinghe?
Miss Cui saluted again, and took a few steps back before turning around and leaving... completely following the etiquette of the younger generation, which makes sense, after all, Mrs. Yang is her aunt.

Mrs. Zhu returned home in a daze, and immediately called Li Shan to ask what happened. Zhu Wei and Ling Jing were also present.

Li Shan couldn't help asking: "Mother, there are so many young ladies today, which young lady do you think is the most annoying?"

"They're all noble girls!" Zhu Shi glared, "It's the last little lady Cui, who is dignified and polite..."

"Hey, it's the only daughter of Cui Xin." Ling Jing knew who it was when she heard it, and glanced at the lazy Li Shan, "I didn't expect that there is such a fate in the distance from the pavilion and the ship."

Li Shan sneered and said, "Don't tell me the jokes, I never saw Cui Xin since that day when I beheaded Cui Bo in front of Cui Xin until I left Qinghe."

Mrs. Zhu was impatient and reprimanded a few words, and Ling Jing explained it in detail.

Zhu Shi and Zhu Wei were a little excited when they heard that Qinghe Cui Shi intended to marry a daughter... In this era, there are many signs of success, but being able to marry a daughter from five surnames and seven families is definitely a sign of success.

But then I heard that because Li Shan beheaded Cui Bo... Zhu's face was a little distorted.

Li Shan and Ling Jing looked at each other, both of them knew it well, Cui Xin was faintly intentional in his temptation that day, to a large extent, he did not fancy Li Shan himself, but valued Qin Wang Li Shimin behind Li Shan.

After all, Li Daoxuan, Tian Liuan, Qi Shanxing, and Zhang Xuansu were all around him at the time, all from the lineage of the King of Qin, but then Li Shan beheaded Cui Bo, which was tantamount to doing Wei Zheng a big favor, helping Wei Zheng take the blame... It was also tantamount to helping the East Palace The prince was relieved.

Afterwards, Li Shan became an official through the imperial examination...he didn't join the Prince of Qin's palace as Cui Xin imagined.

In this case, is it still possible for Choi Shin to include Lee Sun on the list?

Li Shan couldn't help thinking in his heart, would Cui Xin choose King Qin when he entered the court?
At this time, Mrs. Zhu slapped the table, "Don't procrastinate with scrutiny, hurry up!"

Ling Jing had a half-smile, "Huai Ren, today's orders from Ling Tang can't just be two lines of broken poems, right?"

Miss Cui asked for a poem... Li Shan recalled the figure on the small building on the bank when he left Qinghe, and couldn't help but said: "Last year and today, in this gate, people's faces are red with peach blossoms."The human face does not know where to go, and the peach blossoms are still smiling at the spring breeze. "

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Shan regretted it.

Ling Jing sighed lightly: "It's very appropriate."

Li Shan's lips trembled before he remembered, as if this poem came from Qinghe Cui.
