Tibet

Chapter 372

Suzaku hurried forward to take a closer look, but found nothing unusual, "Auntie, is there something wrong with this small warehouse?"

Pei Sanniang stared at the ground and said, "There are steps here!"

"Isn't it normal to have steps?"

"It's normal for the main hall to have steps, but this is just a small warehouse. How can it have steps?"

Suzaku quickly looked at the three rooms next to it, and was also surprised: "It's true, there are no steps here, but there are steps in the small warehouse, what's the reason?"

"It means that it has built two layers of foundation."

Pei Sanniang stepped forward and knelt down to inspect for a while, then smashed a blue brick on top with a hammer, and cleaned off the gravel little by little, revealing a dark floor tile underneath, Pei Sanniang knocked on it with a hammer, and said, !when!when! 'sound.

"Ah! It's metal."

"Isn't it normal metal, Suzaku, do you have a dagger?"

"Yes!" Suzaku quickly pulled out the dagger and handed it to Pei Sanniang. Pei Sanniang lightly chipped off a piece of the dagger, and the lower part immediately shone with silver.

Suzaku covered her mouth all of a sudden, it turned out to be Baiyin.

"Suzaku, we found a treasure!"

Pei Sanniang proudly pointed to the ground, "There is a layer of silver bricks underneath, so it has steps."

Suzaku also excitedly said: "Could there be other places too!"

"I don't know! Let's keep looking."

The two were very interested, and continued to search for treasures, but they didn't find a second treasure until noon. It seemed that there was only a small warehouse, a whole layer of silver bricks for the foundation.

Suzaku accompanied Pei Sanniang to Xuanren Tea House for tea and lunch, and the two chatted for over an hour before leaving and returning to Taiqing Palace.

In the afternoon, Li Ye returned to the mansion and was immediately dragged to Taipingfang by Pei Sanniang.

Pei Sanniang pointed to the steps and said triumphantly: "Did you see that, I found the hidden treasure of Feilong, here it is!"

Li Ye knocked clearly and loudly, and made a circle around the small house again, full of surprises, if the lower floor was made of silver bricks, that would be quite a lot!
Pei Sanniang frowned, then shook her head and smiled, "I think you should first ask Suzaku how it is? Why don't you care about people, but care about treasures first?"

Li Ye said with a smile: "Your old man can't hide his words. If you have any opinion on her, you can tell me as soon as you see her."

Pei Sanniang nodded, "Suzaku is a nice girl, she has an outgoing and lively personality, I like it very much, I don't like the kind of stuffy girls, but I'm a little worried."

"What is mother worried about?"

Pei Sanniang sighed and said: "She is so beautiful, has a good figure, is very talented in literature and martial arts, and has a good family background. It is estimated that there are many people who pursue her."

"I know there is a Wu Ying who is dead."

Pei Sanniang shook her head, "You silly child, how could there be only one? That's just what you know, there must be a lot you don't know, she just thinks she doesn't mean it, so she doesn't need to tell you, but it doesn't mean that these people don't exist .”

Li Ye suddenly remembered that when Mrs. Pei was celebrating her birthday, An Qingxu was pursuing Suzaku, and many young men cast fiery eyes on Suzaku. Perhaps it was because of An Qingxu that no one dared to approach Suzaku.

Pei Sanniang observed her words and knew that she had guessed correctly, so she persuaded her son, "You know now! Mother just advises you to be more careful. You are not in Chang'an. You will go there for two or three years. Suzaku is getting older, and her family will not tolerate it." She has never married, I think you should at least make a name for her so that the elders can feel at ease."

Li Ye was silent for a while, he had already discovered that Suzaku was very similar to his mother, and his mother could not tolerate his father taking a concubine, and his father promised not to take a concubine, so his mother finally agreed to marry him.

If Suzaku doesn't allow himself to take concubines, then what will A Ling do?Li Ye has been troubled by this matter.

Pei Sanniang is impatient, she hit her son's head with a stick, her teeth itching with hatred, "There are only 20 days left, why are you still babbling, is it going to work, I'm so anxious!"

"Mom, I have a woman in Suiye."

"Ah! Who is it?"

"It's the princess of the Ge Luolu tribe."

Pei Sanniang was almost knocked out, so what would she do if she was afraid?She is most afraid of her son marrying a barbarian princess from the Western Regions.

Li Ye quickly supported his mother, "Mother, I didn't marry her! At most, at most, I took her as my concubine."

Pei Sanniang calmed down a little, and said decisively: "Today I'm going to propose to Dugu's family. You are not allowed to mess around outside, and you are not allowed to bring the barbarian's wife home for me."

"Mother, what if Suzaku is like you and forbids me to take a concubine?"

Pei Sanniang has always been strict with others and lenient towards herself. She forbids her husband to take concubines, but she only has one son, and of course the son must take concubines, otherwise the descendants will not prosper.

Pei Sanniang rolled her eyes and said, "Let's not mention this for now, I will slowly enlighten her after she passes through the door."

"Mom, don't worry!"

Pei Sanniang smiled wryly, "Of course I can't be in a hurry, I haven't discussed it with your father yet!"

After dinner, Li Dai went to his study as usual, and Pei Sanniang came in with a cup of tea.

Li Dai knew his wife well, so there must be something wrong with coming in in such a hurry.

"What's the matter, madam?" Li Dai asked with a smile.

"Is there something wrong with Yuwen Conch?"

Pei Sanniang was going to talk about her son, but just now she heard the housekeeper, Granny Wu, talk about Yuwen Luo, which suddenly aroused her heart trouble.

Li Dai nodded, "I also heard this afternoon that she is married!"

Pei Sanniang breathed a sigh of relief, "Who did she marry?"

"Yang Kuan, a famous wine merchant in Chang'an."

"Marry a businessman?" Pei Sanniang was a little surprised.

"The status is a bit poor, but fortunately, the family is rich, and she is very keen on money, so this can satisfy her."

Pei Sanniang was a little speechless, Yu Wenluo had always been aloof, and always used her status as the royal family of the Northern Zhou Dynasty to overwhelm others, but in the end she married a low-status businessman, which made people lament the impermanence of the world.

But when it comes to being keen on money, it seems that there are not many women in the world who don't like it!Don't you also like it?

"Dalang, do you have one more thing to do today?"

Pei Sanniang told her story of finding the hidden treasure, and Li Dai was startled. The floor of a room was covered with silver bricks, how much silver would it take?

"How much money is there, have you and Ye'er estimated it?"

"Ye'er estimated that there are about 250 yuan in total, and each piece weighs 8 catties, which is about [-] catties, which is equivalent to [-] taels of silver."

"What is he going to do with the money?"

"He said to give it all to us as our family's wealth heritage."

Li Dai nodded. Although he is the patriarch and head of the family, he can't use any of the family's money for private use, and although his own salary is not bad, how can he afford to support so many maids, servants and staff with his salary?

It seems that his son is also very aware of this, and gave them 8 taels of silver and a manor of [-] acres, so that his own family also has a wealth background.

Li Dai comforted: "Lady, we have a sensible son, it's really nice!"

"There is one more thing!"

Pei Sanniang said: "Last time I told you that a girl named Suzaku came to look for Ye'er."

"I still remember, what happened to her?"

"What's wrong with her?" Pei Sanniang said angrily, "Why are you so unresponsive? She is most likely our daughter-in-law!"

"Ah!" Li Dai was startled, "It's this far?"

"Of course, two people, one husband is affectionate, and the other concubine is interested, how can we as parents sit idly by?"

"But Ye'er is only 17 years old!"

Pei Sanniang was so angry that she twisted her husband's arm severely, "What a fool, if you don't settle the marriage for Ye'er, he will bring back a barbarian princess's daughter-in-law for us."

"That won't do!"

Li Dai jumped up all of a sudden, "He will never be allowed to marry Hu Nu as his wife!"

Han people place great importance on bloodlines. We always criticize the past dynasties for sending princesses to marry each other, but not marrying the other princess back. It seems that we are humiliated, but in fact it is not.

For example, let a prince of the Tang Dynasty marry a Uighur princess as his concubine, would the prince be willing?Of course I don’t want to, no one wants to, the wife’s son is the eldest son, but the eldest son is a mixed-race child with Hu-Han blood, no one can accept it.

Historically, Li Chengcai, the king of Dunhuang County in the Tang Dynasty, had to marry Uighur Princess Vija as his wife in order to ask the Uighurs to send troops to participate in the quelling of the Anshi Rebellion. He was deeply humiliated and died of illness the next year.

Although the Dugu family and other Guanlong aristocrats are not completely Han Chinese, but the mixed blood of Xianbei and Han people, they have actually experienced the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and they have been completely Sinicized, especially because they belong to the ruling class. For the Han people, no one sees them as aliens.

Pei Sanniang said again: "Miss Suzaku's father is Dugulie, you know, I just found out today that her mother is also Wenxi Pei."

Li Dai nodded, "When you said that, I remembered that Dugu married two wives. The first wife, Wei Shi, gave birth to three sons, and then died of illness. He married his second wife, Pei Shi , seems to have passed away in less than two years, and gave birth to a daughter, who should be Dugu Suzaku, her maternal grandfather was Pei Qian, governor of Fenzhou, and she has an uncle named Pei Shiyan, who is currently a visiting envoy in Hebei."

"Then when will we find a matchmaker to propose marriage!"

Li Dai was a little confused: "I'll ask someone to find out first, I'm worried that the Dugu family may not agree."

"why?"

"At the beginning, Dugulie wanted to protect Yu Wenjing, but he failed. He was very dissatisfied with his father. Last time he led an army to Yunyang County, I already felt his indifference. Our family is dissatisfied."

Pei Sanniang's heart sank, this is a bit troublesome.
