Datang Longya

Chapter 927 Capture Di Renjie Alive

"Yan's Family Instructions" is a family motto created by Yan Zhitui during the Northern and Southern Dynasties.This book was written after Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty destroyed the Kingdom of Chen and before Emperor Yang of Sui came to the throne.It is the work of Yan Zhitui, a great Confucian of the Yan family, who recorded his personal experience, thoughts, and knowledge to warn his descendants.

Yan's family instructions are extremely concise, but each sentence is thought-provoking. There are seven volumes and twenty chapters in the whole book. It was originally a matter of a few sheets of paper, but Yan Xiangshi sent several copies one after another.

Opening the book and looking at it, Leng Feng knew why there were so many.

These books are the notes of Yan Zhitui's descendants after Yan Zhitui. They use many real examples to confirm the correctness of Yan Zhitui's family letters, and warn future generations not to violate them.

If Yan's family instructions are just a few papers, this is the real book.

The Academy of Arts has been coveting Yan's family training for a long time, but after all, this stuff is someone else's family training, so they are embarrassed to even open it.Fortunately, Yan Xiangshi took the initiative to take it out, and promised to allow the Academy of Arts to publish it.In this way, Yan's family precepts could be spread throughout the Tang Dynasty in a short period of time.

This is a real gift!
Picking up the package, Leng Feng pushed open the door of the single room and went downstairs to check the situation.

For a whole afternoon, the number of guests in the building did not intend to decrease at all, instead it became more and more crowded.

No way, after entertaining the officials, there are still many rich businessmen and the like behind.Although they didn't have friendship with Leng Feng, they had more or less been helped by Tianxialou. When Leng Feng married a daughter, they wanted to participate anyway.The noon banquet can't catch up, and there is still a dinner party.In the entire Chang'an city, only Tianxialou had the face to let the emperor show mercy and lift the curfew for one day.

Most of the second floor are some big businessmen, like Hao Wencai, almost the most influential big businessmen.

Xiao Yuan appeared behind Leng Feng and offered a cup of hot tea. Leng Feng handed the package to Xiao Yuan and walked over with the tea.

Seeing Leng Feng, the businessmen stood up one after another to greet him: "Duke Protector, congratulations!"

Leng Feng returned the gift with a random salute, and said: "Today I am marrying my daughter Leng Feng, thank you for your support, but I drank too much with His Majesty upstairs, and I will lie down and go home after drinking. Therefore, I will replace wine with tea , a toast to all of you."

People who are familiar with each other always help round things up.

Hao Wencai chimed in and said, "Since Huguo Gong is drunk, it's okay to replace wine with tea. It's our honor to receive you personally."

Fan Zhui also said: "How can it be the Duke Hu who respects us? It should be me who respects the Duke of the country. Duke Hu, drink victory!"

After speaking, he took a drink from his glass.

All the businessmen followed one after another, and Leng Feng also drank a glass with a smile.

Handing the teacup to Xiao Yuan, Leng Feng said: "I still have something to do at home, so I'll take my leave first, everyone take it easy."

Leng Feng went downstairs amidst the sound of "Duke Protector walking slowly" from the merchants.

As for the first floor, it is a banquet for some small businessmen and civilians.These people are not even qualified to be received by a duke of a state.It's not that Leng Feng is arrogant, the class gap cannot be resolved by him unilaterally.Deliberately entertaining these people would only make them uncomfortable, so he just showed his face and said a few words before Leng Feng walked out of Tianxialou.

Stretching his waist, Leng Feng said to Xiao Yuan: "All the gifts you accept today should be placed in the Leng Mansion of Xiudefang. After a while, it doesn't matter which family has a happy event, as long as it is not a few close ones." , you just go and give the gift yourself, that's what writing the gift is all about, it's just an exchange."

Xiao Yuan also knew the truth, so he nodded: "But we still need to look at it. Some merchants give away high-quality goods, which should be used by our family. Besides, our young master is getting married soon, and the dowry gift is also very important." We have to prepare in advance. Our Duke Protector’s Mansion can’t make the dowry too shabby and monotonous, can we?”

Leng Feng laughed out loud, Xiao Yuan was as thoughtful as Lao Yuan.

"You can handle it yourself. If you like something, you can take it yourself. Your father and son have worked for the Leng family for many years. Don't always treat yourself as a slave. Be generous."

Xiao Yuan nodded, but didn't take it seriously.The master's family said this because the master's family is kind, and as retainers, they can't go beyond it.

He hurried home with the package, and considering that the Academy of Arts was on holiday today, Leng Feng did not send "Yan's Family Instructions" directly to the Academy of Arts, but took it back home.

In addition to marrying a daughter today, there is another program.

As early as a few days ago, he had discussed with Li Tai, Li Ke, and Li Chengqian that he would catch Di Renjie, a loach, while Yue Wu got married today.

This guy not only avoids his family members recently, but also doesn't even come to Master's side, maybe he thinks Master is too nagging?

Behaviors such as not getting married may be nothing in later generations, but in the Tang Dynasty, it is a big treason.There are three types of unfilial piety, the greatest of which is having no descendants.In some formidable big families, if the children and grandchildren grow up without heirs, they can't even enter the ancestral graves.

From this point, we can see the status of the bachelor in this era.Not to mention, Di Renjie is not a poor man, he is an important member of the imperial court at a young age, and he is accompanied by a noble title. If he wants to get married, the women who line up have to be arranged from the long line to Tianxia Manor.

After returning home, he handed over the package to Lao Yuan for proper management, and Leng Feng entered the living room without washing up.

In the living room, the four senior brothers were drinking tea, but Di Renjie was the only one who was downcast.

Seeing the master coming in, they got up one after another.

Stretching out his hand to signal them to sit down, Leng Feng looked at the seats and squeezed together with Li Tai helplessly.Although the main seat was vacant, he was sitting next to Li Tai, facing Di Renjie.

"Di Renjie."

As soon as Leng Feng opened his mouth, Di Renjie smiled wryly, "Master, my family has already made me miserable enough, can you spare my apprentice?"

Li Tai curled his lips: "Junior Brother, how do you talk to Master? We are also doing it for your own good. To be honest, we still have a chance to get married now that you are married. Among people in our age group, Senior Brother only cares about you." Home is the most pleasing to the eye."

Li Chengqian also said: "Brother, don't say that the master is angry, and the brother is also angry. You forgot the agreement between us master and apprentice? Is there anything that cannot be discussed?"

Li Ke also asked curiously: "Junior Brother, why don't you want to get married? Tell me and listen. We don't deliberately enlighten you, just listening is not enough!"

Looking at the four pairs of eyes around him, Di Renjie sighed helplessly.Ever since he was caught by his senior brother and taken home by force, he knew he couldn't escape this test.

Clearing his throat, Di Renjie said helplessly: "It's not that I don't want to get married. At the beginning, I still wanted to get married. However, I asked my senior sister to inquire about the women introduced by my family. They are all coy ladies. I love you I understand, I hate twitching the most, can't something be straightforward? If I get married, I will die of pain."
