A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 125 Marriage to the Cheng Family
early morning.

Smoke billows from the sky over Yanjingzhai. Hundreds of salt houses, large and small, are still cooking salt day by day. The burners have just had another sleepless night. The burners in the day shift are still eating soy milk, The steamed cake didn't come to change shifts.

The firewood customers have already carried firewood into the village with carts and shoulders.

The bells of the salt merchant caravan made the salt village more lively.

There are also monks with little monks beating iron plates to tell the time and report the weather. This is also the characteristic of Yanjing village. There are even more than one monks. No problem, until the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year, they will go door to door for alms.

In Zhensi's backyard, Fan Xuanfu was changing Huaiyu's clothes.

Today, Huaiyu changed into the crown prince's robe brought by the angel, the crimson silk robe with the pattern of yellow and branched branches on it.

Although it is not as noble as the embroidered grass with the falcon's title, the ribbon with the ribbon titled by the goose, and the purple robe with the ribbon titled by the peacock, this bright light crimson color is far more dazzling than the cyan green.

Huaiyu is quite familiar with the texture of the rehmannia glutinosa on the top. Rehmannia glutinosa is a traditional Chinese medicine that needs nine steams and nine suns to process. It can be used to make Liuwei Dihuang pills and many other traditional Chinese medicines. In May, the rehmannia flower blooms exceptionally Splendid, its flowers are also called honey pots, and there is honey in them, which is very sweet. Huaiyu always liked to pick them and eat them when she was a child.

The flowers can also be used for cooking and porridge.

Even in some myths and legends, eating Rehmannia glutinosa can lead to immortality.

Rehmannia glutinosa can be selected by the imperial court as the small Ketuan pattern on the robes of officials of the fourth and fifth ranks, which shows that it is different.

"Erlang is so handsome in this scarlet robe." Aunt Fan looked at Wu Huaiyu after changing clothes, her eyes were all bright, people depend on clothes and horses depend on saddles, Zifei has a special meaning in Tang Dynasty.

When you are young, you will be more chic.

How could the fifth-rank scarlet-robed gentleman not be handsome? Huaiyu had a good background, but now he has even more temperament.

Huaiyu also likes this shallow scarlet, it looks bright and unrestrained.

"When I get back to Chang'an, I'll go to the Duke Rong's mansion to propose marriage."

"I, Aye, am defending the city of Binzhou against the Turks."

"Then when you, Aye, return victorious, I will come to propose marriage."

Fan Xuanfu looked at him with a smile, eyes full of love.

A batch of newly produced firebrick salt and snow grain salt of Baoyu were packaged, as well as flour soda and caustic soda of Shengyu, soap and scented soap of Meiyu, all of which were packaged by Huaiyu. Qianjintang sells it, and it can also be used as a gift to visit relatives.

He even brought a lot of salted fish, bacon and ham, a specialty of Zhang County.

When Huaiyu came to the front yard of Zhensi, a group of military officers in the hospital town had already been waiting to see him off. Under the leadership of Wu Junwei, Chen Xing, Zhao Xin, and Hou San, everyone also prepared some gifts. The team leader and deputy of the game center who were away also rushed back to see him off.

"The general looks extraordinarily powerful today!"

"Angry!"

"Bah, that's called nobility, the fifth rank is the most expensive, the third rank is the most expensive, and once you wear the scarlet robe, you are among the nobles."

The fifth rank is the starting point for senior officials. Literati who are above the fifth rank are called doctors, military officers who are above the fifth rank are called generals, and the lowest baron of the ninth rank is also the fifth rank.

Hou San asked Huaiyu to send a few words to his wife and three children. He hoped that his wife could bring the two young children to settle here. He now has a government military field, a job field, and an official residence here. Ren Yongyetian is considered a small landlord and needs someone to take care of it.

"The older one, let him follow Erlang's side." Speaking of which, Hou San also gave Huaiyu all the rewards he got for his meritorious service, as well as the extra money he earned during this period. official.

The horse he and Huai Yi rode when they came here before also belonged to the Wu family, so he also wanted to return it.

Huaiyu took his hand, "Uncle Hou, you and Aye have been born and died for more than ten years, and we are as close as brothers. Now this good result is due to your chance and hard work, Uncle Hou. Longyou, but we are still like a family,

You can keep the horse, let alone the others. "

"Hei Wa is still young, I think it's better to let him stay in Chang'an, and go to study with Huai Liang at the Wu Clan School? Although the enlightenment age is a bit older, it's not too late. Study in the capital for a few more years, and wait until the time comes. Come back to Longyou on the [-]th Seventh, don't worry, I will take good care of him in Chang'an."

Huaiyu didn't treat Hou San as an ordinary servant. He had a special status in the old Wu's family. He had been loyal for many years and even saved Lao Wu's life. In the past, Lao Wu would marry him and divide the land. Take a chance.Although a mount is worth a few pennies, Huaiyu of course cares more about the human relationship.

"After my elder brother and I left, I have to take care of the things we left behind here, Uncle Hou."

Huaiyu also had the same attitude towards Chen Xing and Zhao Xin. They were his confidantes who started his career. It is of course a good thing to be able to become an official. Huaiyu promised that when they arrived in Chang'an, they would help arrange for their wives and children to be brought here. Longyou.

Especially Chen Xing, his family, including his father and brothers, are all servants of the Li family. He wants Huaiyu to help redeem his family's freedom from the Yongkang government.

Huaiyu believed that Li Jing's family would give him a favor, after all Chen Xing was also an eighth-rank official now.

"Everyone, work hard." Huaiyu confessed that Yanjing Village is a cornucopia. It is a rare opportunity to guard this cornucopia. To go further, it is also inseparable from money.

And there are a lot of opportunities here, they can accumulate wealth without violating laws and regulations, and lay the foundation for their future careers.

Several people also understood that they really wanted to continue to be with Huaiyu in their hearts, but they couldn't let go of this rare opportunity.

······
I bid farewell to the town soldiers in the hospital, and also to the old department of the original hospital battalion organized in Pinglefu, and then waved goodbye to the local tyrants, kitchen households, burners, etc. who were reluctant to part with the town general.

Many people came to see them off, and most of them were sincere, because Wu Huaiyu was here not only as an officer who led the town soldiers to protect Yanjinzhai and Yanlu, but also Qingyangzi, an expert who invited back to the God of Salt to restore Yanjing Town.

In addition, this person is entering the court now, he is the head of the North Gate, and he is going to be the emperor's personal servant.

Several major guilds even gathered a lot of souvenirs.

Dang Xiang Ma, Long Xu Xi, Qiang Maid...
With a bit of reluctance, Huaiyu finally embarked on the road back to Beijing, and his trip to Longyou was over, he came and left in a hurry, without any preparation.

Huaiyi and Cheng Chumo all carried big bags and small bags, and even took the big girl and the little girl Jianu away, and rode on the horse. These guys were very proud.

Ma Zhou was sitting on the horse and writing in his diary while walking. This man keeps a diary every day. Now that he has been recruited by the prince, he not only keeps a diary, but also starts to write suggestions for the prince when he has time.

"Erlang," Huaiyi rode his horse to catch up with him, looked at the team behind him, and said with emotion, "I sent Supervisor Lu to Longyou under the order of the crown prince, I really didn't expect such a great opportunity this time."

On a trip to Longyou, he fought two tough battles, but he still had to turn six to rank four, and was promoted directly to the sixth rank of General of the Tongjun Mansion. Now he is ordered to return to Beijing, and the head of the North Gate.

This trip, arrived at the normal ten years of hard work.

Huaiyu took a look at the few women he brought back to Beijing. Some were concubines made by local powerful daughters in Zhang County, some were slaves bought by victims of the disaster, and there was even a kabuki who played the pipa. Huaiyu didn't comment much on this. .

"Brother is going back to Beijing this time, so brother should also find a lady of the right family, right?"

Huaiyi laughed, "Well, it's time to look for it, but it's not in a hurry." Now that he has a concubine, a maidservant, and a prostitute, he's very happy, and he's really not in a hurry.

"We still have to hurry up. My brother is also proud of his official career. He is a 21-year-old general of the commanding army, a captain of Qingche, and a leader of the north gate and a hundred cavalry. His future is bright. It is estimated that there are many wealthy relatives who are willing to marry their daughters." ah."

Huai Yi is in a good mood.

Huaiyu looked at his expression, and asked tentatively, "Mr. Su Guo is a good man, and we are familiar with Chu Mo. There are several younger sisters in his family who are of marriageable age. How about asking the patriarch uncle to ask after returning to Beijing this time?"

"Su Guogong wants to choose you as his son-in-law." Huaiyi said.

"Um, you know, Mrs. Fan and I are in agreement, and I'm going to the Rongguo Mansion to propose marriage when I return to Beijing."

Huaiyi glanced at Fan Xuanfu not far away, "Erlang, are you sure you want to marry her?"

"It's not her who doesn't want to marry, and she doesn't mean that I don't want to marry."

"Why?"

"This thing is actually very mysterious. Some people will have a deep impression when they see it at first sight, and after a few times of contact, they may be full of her in their hearts, and then they will never forget it."

Wu Huaiyi was puzzled after hearing this, "Is there such a thing as love at first sight?"

"It doesn't matter if you fall in love at first sight or fall in love at first sight, but there is no reason for love. I like her, and she likes me. We have also experienced some ups and downs, but we are finally together. I am very satisfied."

Wu Huaiyi also has several women now, but he has never experienced this feeling. Even when Huaiyu said that he would propose marriage to Cheng Yaojin's family for him, he did not object, and was even quite happy. Old Cheng and his father are not bad, but the key is that the Cheng family is an upstart.

Just a little worried about not being worthy.

"You don't have to worry about that. You are also young and handsome, and you are also emerging now. The Cheng family is also a meritorious upstart, and you must like young generals."

Huaiyu didn't say a word, since Cheng Chumo wanted to recruit him as a son-in-law so much before, it means that old Cheng doesn't care about the status of the Wu family.

Looking for an opportunity, Huaiyu found a place to grill lamb kebabs silently while camping, and tested his tone while grilling.

"What do you think of my brother?"

While sprinkling cumin on the mutton skewers, Cheng Chumo glanced at the tigress not far away, "Actually, I, Aye, are the ones you like the most, but it's a pity that the tigress of the Fan family took the lead."

He looked at Huaiyi again, "Your elder brother is actually pretty good, but he doesn't have your spirituality. Of course, my family has many younger sisters, so there must be someone who has taken a fancy to your elder brother. When the time comes back to Chang'an, you take your elder brother to the Come to my house, I will let my sisters see for themselves, whoever takes a fancy to it, then you will propose a marriage."

"Well, that's pretty good, and then I'll ask Da Lang to say a few words of kindness to my elder brother in front of Su Guogong."

"Don't worry, I'm also very happy to have your brother as my brother-in-law."

Huaiyu laughed, "Dalang, if there is a girl you fancy, I will help you when the time comes."

The young Su Guogong's eldest son and guerrilla general just sighed, "I am the eldest son of my family, so I can't help marrying a wife, it has to be arranged by the family, at most I can take one or two concubines as I like. Speaking of which, I really envy you. I am still very puzzled. You said how you hooked up with that tigress of the Fan family. Aunt Fan, the vicious female tiger in Chang'an, actually chased her lover for thousands of miles, even Desperate battlefield guards, you kid has practiced Daoism in Zhongnan Mountain for nine years, so you can't practice some spells such as Nourishing Gu, I heard that some wizards know this kind of spells..."

Huaiyu stuffed a bunch of roasted sheep eggs directly into his mouth, not letting him talk nonsense.
