I am a thief in the Tang Dynasty

The day before our wedding, we agreed to see each other once a month, and now I received another letter asking when we would meet.

If she is not appeased, Li Lizhi might really come to visit her.

I can’t imagine the Shura scene that will happen then.

Fang Yiyi's eyes fell on Chai Xueying's back. He pursed his lips, put away the letter, opened his arms, and embraced the delicate body in his arms.

The maids around immediately turned aside and didn't want to look at the affectionate scene between the two masters.

However, they all had smiles on their faces, happy for the love between the two.

The snow-white tender hand grasped the thin, slender hand with distinct joints and said softly:

"Husband, what's wrong?"

Fang Yiyi felt a sense of peace in his heart as he smelled the elegant fragrance of the black hair. He said softly:

"Xueying, the bride will return home in three days. Because of my condition, you ignored etiquette and delayed it for a day by writing a letter."

"Today, I have made great contributions to the country and have been rewarded by the emperor. I am no longer that unlearned and unskilled dandy."

"Why don't we go tomorrow?"

Chai Xueying didn't expect Fang Yiyi to suddenly mention this matter, and she was immediately deeply moved.

In order to help support his widow, he worked tirelessly to find mines to earn money.

As soon as she achieved the achievement, she wanted to return to Duke Huo's Mansion immediately to save face for herself and tell her family that she did not marry the wrong person.

Her husband kept every detail of her affairs in mind and put her first.

Tears of happiness flashed in her almond eyes.

Chapter 55 Bringing My Wife Back to Her Parents' Home

The Tang Dynasty Valkyrie, who had never shed a tear while fighting in the battlefield or having her comrades die to save her, shed tears for the second time in front of Fang Yiyi.

The crystal tears, wrapped with the owner's happiness and emotion, fell on the snow-white peaks, shattered, and emitted dazzling fluorescence in the sun.

"Husband, husband, you care so much about Xueying. Xueying, I am really touched."

"Xueying, I only wish to be with my husband forever in this life!"

Chai Xueying turned around and buried her delicate face, tearful as a pear blossom, in his thin yet secure chest.

Fang Yiyi gently stroked the smooth black hair and said softly:

"We agreed, we can't go back on our word!"

"You and I will be together for a hundred years, not even a day less will do!"

"Yes! Let's join hands for a hundred years!" Chai Xueying responded sweetly.

The two of them talked to Fang Xuanling and Lu.

Fang Xuanling suggested that they pack up and go immediately.

Today, the emperor has acquired the coal mine and is no longer constrained by money. He will definitely make some arrangements.

Maybe Chai Shao will be summoned to the palace tomorrow to discuss the war.

Mrs. Lu even personally brought people to help the young couple pack their belongings for their return trip.

One hundred taels of gold and one hundred pieces of gold, stone and jade artifacts were also delivered while we were packing up.

Fang Yiyi waved his hand and divided the gold and jade artifacts into two parts. He gave half to his grandfather and loaded the other half onto a truck and gave it to his father-in-law!

Chai Xueying refused repeatedly, but Mrs. Lu mentioned her status as a mother and ordered her, so she accepted it embarrassedly.

Duke Huo's Mansion is located in Yinningfang, west of the imperial city, more than ten miles away from Wubenfang. It takes more than half an hour to get there by horse-drawn carriage.

The two of them packed up and set off quickly when they saw the sun setting, to avoid arriving when the banquet was about to start, which would have been embarrassing.

Fang Yiyi sat in the carriage, looking out the window, watching the prosperous scene in Chang'an city, which quickly overlapped with the Chang'an in his memory.

At the same time, he whispered to Chai Xueying, who was nestled in his arms, about the interesting things that happened in various neighborhoods in his memory.

It is so interesting to let this Tang Dynasty Valkyrie, who has stayed in Niangzi Pass for a long time or led troops to fight in other places and rarely returned to Chang'an, know the Chang'an City she is guarding.

The sky was covered with fiery clouds, and the entire sky was a fiery red, with gray and white as the main colors. The majestic Chang'an City was covered with a layer of red fire.

Candles lit up thousands of lights, white smoke rose up, and the bustling Chang'an city became quiet, with peace everywhere.

Duke Huo's Mansion.

Without prior notice, the gates of the mansion were closed.

Chai Xueying rejected Fang Yiyi's suggestion to enter through the side door.

She wanted to bring her husband, her proud husband, into her parents' home with pride!

dong dong!

The copper ring on the door rang.

When the doorman saw Chai Xueying returning, he immediately went to report.

Chai Xueying wanted to give her grandfather and family a surprise, so she asked the doorman to keep quiet.

After instructing the servants to help carry the things, she led Fang Yiyi into this mansion that was familiar yet unfamiliar to her.

The main hall of the palace.

Chai Shao's eldest son, Chai Zhewei, was a fifth-rank Sima of Jiaozhou. He was handsome and had an extraordinary bearing. He was sitting on a chair nearby with his wife Wang, chatting about the interesting stories of his son.

His younger brother Chai Lingwu, the son-in-law of the emperor and the sixth-rank imperial servant, was a gentleman with a refined manner and politeness. He was holding a book and reading it attentively.

On the side, Princess Baling, with a pretty face and wearing a gorgeous double-breasted skirt, was playing with a bracelet made of gold, jade and various gems, which was obviously worth a lot of money.

"Brother, sister-in-law, brother, sister-in-law, you are all here!"

Chapter 56 The Chai Family’s Favor for Chai Xueying

Excited voices rang out from the main hall door.

Chai Zhewei and Chai Lingwu both showed joy in their eyes and immediately stood up and walked towards the door.

The two sisters-in-law also stood up with a faint smile and went to greet him.

Everyone's eyes were only on the bright and charming, world-famous Valkyrie sister, ignoring the thin brother-in-law standing next to her.

"Third sister, why are you here tonight? Shouldn't we wait for some time?"

"Third sister, come and show your face to second brother. You look good, and you look rosy. It seems that you are living well in the Fang family!"

"Third sister, you came here early without telling me. I will order you to add a few more dishes you like!"

"You are finally here. Stay in the mansion tonight and chat with me, your second sister-in-law!"

......

Fang Yiyi, who was ignored, did not feel angry.

With a faint smile on her face, she looked at the harmonious scene in front of her gently.

Chai Xueying was delighted to see her family, but she did not forget Fang Yiyi.

She smiled and pulled Fang Yiyi to her side and said:

"Xingzhi is feeling better today, so I rushed here so as not to delay my elder brother's return to Jiaozhou. It's a bit hasty, please don't be offended, brothers and sisters-in-law!"

Fang Yiyi smiled and bowed to his brothers and sisters-in-law, saying, "Xingzhi greets the eldest brother, eldest sister-in-law, second brother, and second sister-in-law!"

next moment.

The four people who originally had warm smiles on their faces suddenly lost their smiles when they saw Fang Yiyi's thin figure and pale face.

Although there was no expression of disgust, anyone could see the indifference on his face.

They just nodded and didn't say anything.

The distant treatment did not make Fang Yiyi angry.

After all, his predecessor was a playboy, ignorant and unlearned, and was famous in Chang'an.

No one would be happy to have such a brother-in-law.

The fact that they nodded and nodded without saying anything bad to each other was all out of consideration for Chai Xueying's face.

Chai Xueying was a little surprised and dissatisfied with her brother and sister-in-law's reactions.

She thought that everyone should have known that her husband had shared the country's worries and had received a reward from the emperor.

How could she be happy when such a good husband was treated so coldly by his family?

Without waiting for Chai Xueying to speak, Chai Zhewei thought of what he had discussed with his second brother these days, and went straight to the point:

"Third sister, do you have enough money? My eldest brother brought back some money this time. It's not much, only about 400 strings of cash. It's better than nothing. Take it with you when you leave."

"When I return to Jiaozhou, I will find a way to raise some money for you. Don't touch all your dowry. You must leave some of it behind."

Jiaozhou is located in the southwest of the Tang Dynasty, adjacent to the Kingdom of Annan. Chai Zhewei knew that Chai Xueying had been supporting the widows of his comrades in the army, so he would send money to Chai Xueying from Jiaozhou from time to time.

He came back specially to attend his third sister's wedding and brought some extra things, originally intending to help support his family.

It just so happened that the Eastern Turks were invading and the north was experiencing a late spring cold snap. I thought that my sister would definitely help me with all she had and would definitely use her dowry.

Dowry is the foundation for a woman to settle down in her husband's family.

What's more, Fang Yiyi spent money like water. The news that Fang Xiang was mocked by Cheng Yaojin a few days ago because he was short of money had spread throughout Chang'an City.

After they knew about it, the two brothers discussed it.

Chai Lingwu also echoed, "I have discussed this with the princess and have prepared a sum of money. I originally wanted to give it to you when you return home. Since you didn't come yesterday, I thought you would have to wait until the sixth day."

"You came here so late this evening, you must be in urgent need of money. I will send someone to send a letter back to the Prince Consort's Mansion and have someone deliver the money to the Fang family."

Princess Baling also took Chai Xueying's hand with concern, put the valuable bracelet in her hand on her hand, and smiled gently:

"This bracelet was given to me by my mother some time ago. It's worth some money. You can pawn it too."

Chapter 57: The Grievances of the Chai Family’s Sister-in-law

As soon as these words were spoken, Fang Yiyi, who was standing aside, instantly understood why the Chai family was dissatisfied with his visit to the mansion today.

As the General of the Left Guard and the Governor of Huazhou, Chai Shao seldom returned to the capital and usually returned when ordered to do so.

After returning to Beijing, he lived a secluded life. When the emperor summoned him to court, he would stay at home when he had nothing else to do.

Moreover, he had the warning of Xuanwu Gate Incident, so he strictly ordered the children of Chai family to stay at home and not to seek power, but to do what they should do. As royal relatives, the Chai family members would definitely be valued.

After Chai Zhewei came back from Jiaozhou, he rarely got together with his wife and family, and he seldom went out.

Not to mention Chai Lingwu.

The Duke of the Imperial Household was in charge of the emperor's carriage when he traveled, and the Minister of the Imperial Household was in charge of whether the horses were well maintained. It was an easy job.

In addition, Princess Baling's mother was a concubine and was not considered noble, so the couple rarely moved around all day and paid attention to state affairs.

Therefore, this family was isolated from the news and turned a deaf ear to what was happening outside, and had no idea what had happened in the court this morning.

He didn't know that the Fang family was rich and not short of money, and that he had received a reward from the emperor, so they looked down on him.

Fang Yiyi shook his head helplessly.

His wife expected him to be warmly welcomed as soon as he entered the house, but that happened to be gone.

Beside him, Chai Xueying, who was originally dissatisfied, was left with only guilt in the face of her family's concern, understanding and strong support.

In order to help those widows over the years, she took the initiative to ask her family and her two husbands for money when they were short of money.

No matter how much, the two brothers never complained, always supported her strongly and even gave her money on their own initiative.

The Huoguo Mansion, which is composed of the retired emperor, the most trusted and respected Duke Huo, and the most favored Princess Pingyang, is obviously a family that should be well-dressed and well-fed, but because of her, they have to plan their daily food, clothing and expenses.

How can she not feel guilty?

However, this time, she didn't come to ask for money!

But to supplement the family!

Her husband brought fifty taels of gold and fifty pieces of gold, stone and jade artifacts to the family!
