A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 1033 A good match
Heron Island.

Here I can finally feel a bit of the winter chill that Luzon doesn’t have, although it’s not too much.

Asang took a boy to pick him up.

When I saw him getting off the boat, I was obviously trying hard to smile, but I couldn't help but shed tears.

"It's been almost two years since we were left here. Do you know how I've spent these two years?"

Wu Huaiyu looked at the boy who was looking at him curiously. His facial features looked very similar to his own, so he reached out and picked him up, lifted him up, and threw him up.

Catch and throw again.

Asang watched nervously, afraid of falling.

The boy, on the other hand, had been very accommodating just now. After a few throws, Wu Huaiyu put him on his neck, and he immediately started to have fun, giggling and giggling.

Seeing this scene, Asang couldn't help but his eyes welled up again.

She is just a concubine. As a concubine and a son, Jiro Lang can get such a family fortune. What else can he be dissatisfied with?

On the boat, Huaiyu gave the two of them rare companionship.

Asang coaxed the child early and handed it over to the nanny. After bathing, he specially put on perfume.
A long absence is better than a newlywed, she gave Huaiyu extreme tenderness,

Asang brushed his hair,
She also wanted to stay with Huaiyu all the time. It would be great if the family of three could be together. But she also knows that this is not easy.

The 20th among the children's brothers, his name is Chenglu. Although Ludao Island is not big, but together with the big and small Kinmen islands, it can be regarded as a big inheritance on this coast.

Tenderness was like a tide, completely submerging him.

"No, riding."

Although Ludao is not as big as Luzon, and Twenty Lang does not have the title of Marquis of Luzon or Governor of Luzon like Sanlang, but Asang is already very satisfied.

She was born and raised in Liaodong, but she fell in love with it after coming to Ludao. What's more, it was a family property arranged by her husband for her son, and she had to guard it for him.

"I will come back after spring. Then you can go south with me, or you can stay in Chang'an for a longer time. If you like Chang'an, you can settle down in Chang'an."

After thinking for a while, he said, "Okay, I'll pack my luggage and go back to Chang'an together right away."

The little boy is quite naughty and bold.

Asang looked at Chenglu, who was riding excitedly on his father's neck, "Twenty-year-old man, come down quickly. The road to Aye is very hard,"

"I'm going back to Chang'an to celebrate the New Year. I've already gone to Chang'an and sent people to Puzhou to bring you, Aye, Aniang, Brother, and the others to Chang'an to celebrate the New Year."

"I'll take you back to Chang'an,"

"After the new year, we and I will go back to Ludao."

Stay one night at Heron Island.

Especially now, Lugang's trade is booming, not only connecting Luzon, but also running through the north and south of the coast.

"Let this boy ride."

After a while, he became familiar with his biological father. He sat excitedly on his father's shoulders and refused to get down.

······
I was in a hurry to return to Beijing to celebrate the New Year, so I didn’t waste any more time. I took my mother and I together and took a boat straight to Hangzhou.

Chenglu sticks to Huaiyu every day. Although children also like their mother, if their father is willing to play with them, they will obviously like their father more.
Tell him various stories,
He even made him a small wooden sword and played various games with him. Anyway, the boat was quite boring, so Wu Huaiyu also gave himself a rare holiday.

Don't check other things, just stay with them.

During the day, I played with the little ones in various ways.
Stay with Asang again in the evening,

Happy time is always short-lived. Asang even hopes that this journey will never end.

But Hangzhou will arrive soon,

After getting off the sea boat, we boarded a canal boat, riding a flat-bottomed sand boat and heading north along the Grand Canal.

After the Asang family returned to the Central Plains, their lives also changed a lot.

Asang followed Huaiyu to Ludao and gave birth to a boy there. His parents and brothers returned to their hometown in Puzhou.

Although many years have passed,

But the Dong family is still there, and there are still many relatives and friends who are still there.
Old Dong has a son-in-law like Wu Huaiyu. Although his daughter is only a concubine for Huaiyu and he is not qualified to claim to be Wu Huaiyu's father-in-law, Wu Huaiyu also specially arranged for someone to accompany them back to their hometown and provide them with everything.

Old Dong is getting older, so when he returns to his hometown, he is returning to his hometown to retire.
He built a house again in his hometown and purchased some fields to support himself until the end of his life.

Wu Huaiyu also made arrangements for several of his sons. Some were appointed as government soldiers, some joined the government as officials, and some were sent to Chang'an to study.
"I often write to Aye. He is very grateful to you."

In the cabin, Asang was nestled in Wu Huaiyu's arms, with long, straight black hair hanging loose, and a lingering lingering look on his face, looking happy and satisfied.
The voice is also soft,
"I just did what I should do. His daughters followed me and gave me a son. I must honor them."

"We met during the Chinese New Year. I asked your brothers if anyone is willing to go to Ludao after the New Year. I will make arrangements."

Asang understood what Mr. Xian meant,
Her brother, who is also Chenglu's uncle, asked them to go to Ludao. This was not only a close and reliable person to help Chenglu take care of it, but also a way of taking care of her brothers.

Lugang is now prosperous and full of opportunities. When you get there, with the Wu family as your back, are you afraid that you won't be able to develop?

"When I return to Chang'an this time, I think I can arrange a marriage for Cheng Lu." Wu Huaiyu said, stroking her smooth back.

"Well, I listen to my husband." Although Chenglu is still young, the Wu family is now a top-notch family, and the clan is ranked first, with the surname A.

Although this surname A is privately refused to be recognized by some old clans such as the Five Surnames and Seven Families,

But the Wu family is indeed very noble today.

Even though Wu Chenglu was the son of a concubine, his status was not low.

If you want to get married, it must be from those famous families.

"Let's see who has a suitable match then," Wu Huaiyu planned to find a partner for Twenty Lang, giving priority to families with military merit and aristocracy. Li Jing, Qin Qiong, Cheng Niu, Da Fan Xing and others are all good.

He didn't plan to find Chenglu with five surnames, seven families, or Guanlong six surnames. Chenglu's mother clan, the Dong family, was at most a small gentry from Puzhou, Hedong. They had been in Liaodong for many years, and those gentry would definitely look down on them. .

"What do you think of the Pei family?"

"Which Pei family, the Pei family from Hedong?" Asang asked.

"Well, the Pei family in Hedong is actually one of the six surnames in Guanlong.

The so-called six surnames of Guanlong are the Jingzhao Wei family, Hedong Pei family, Hedong Liu family, Hedong Xue family, Hongnong Yang family and Jingzhao Du family.

The reputation of the Pei, Liu, and Xue families in Hedong is no worse than that of the Wang family in Taiyuan.

Their status in the court is even higher than that of the Five Surnames and Seven Families.

The Dong family is considered a small power in Puzhou, and the largest noble family in Puzhou is the Pei family, which is the family of the former prime minister Pei Ji. Even if Pei Ji dies, his family background is not comparable to that of the Dong family.

"I still have a lot of dealings with the Pei family,"

Wu Huaiyu had little contact with the Pei Ji family, but he had a good relationship with the late Pei Ju in the past, and his descendants could also get along well.
In addition, Pei Xingjian also belonged to the Pei family in Hedong. He was a student of Wu Huaiyu. His father Pei Renji was Qin Qiong's old boss. His brother Pei Xingyan was an enemy of ten thousand people in the late Sui Dynasty. He and Qin Qiong Cheng Yaojin were both good brothers.

Pei Ji and Pei Ju both came from the west family house of the Pei family in Hedong, while Pei Xingjian came from the middle family house of the Pei family.

There are also many branches of the Pei family in Hedong, including the East Household House, the Wu Pei House in the south, and the Xima Pei House in the south. Together they are called the five houses of the Pei House in Hedong.

The Zhongjuanfang is the place where Heluo lives in the world.

Pei Xingjian is eighteen years old this year. As the adopted son of Qin Qiong and a student of Wu Huaiyu, he first worked as a student in Hongwen Hall under his family, and then took part in the imperial examination a few years ago and won the Jinshi. It was discovered that Pei Xingjian was capable of both literary and martial arts.

So he took the initiative to teach him the art of war, and Pei Xingjian became a student of him.

After Su Dingfang went to Nanzhong to serve as the governor of Yaozhou, he asked Wu Huaiyu to take him with him. Wu Huaiyu also wanted him to have more experience. After asking Pei Xingjian for his opinion, he was also willing to go, so he followed Su Dingfang to Nanzhong.

Pei Xingjian adapted well there, performed well, and was capable of both literary and military skills. Su Dingfang wrote to him several times and was full of praise for Pei Xingjian.

If Wu Huaiyu wants to find a wife for Cheng Lu in the Pei family's family house, it shouldn't be difficult.

The Dongjuanfang branch is a descendant of Pei Mao, the minister of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Pei Mei, a descendant of Pei Mao, served in the Eastern Jin Dynasty as a Taiwei and proposed to join the army and merge with the state. Later, he settled in Heluo. He was the general of the Hussars of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the governor of Fenzhou, and was granted the title of Duke of Langya County.

Although Pei Xingjian is Pei Renji's posthumous son, the pei family background is there, and he is cared for by his adoptive fathers and godfathers, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, and Wu Huaiyu, Su Dingfang, two civil and military teachers.

Even Li Jing can be regarded as Pei Xingjian's master.

So this guy was able to study in Hongwen Hall in the past, and he was able to become a Jinshi when he was a teenager. It was all because of his connections with the world and his connections.

Including his current position in the Nanzhong Yaozhou Governor's Office, he has already reached the sixth rank. If he were not too young, he would be able to reach the fifth rank of Silver Fei in two years.

His wife was married to the Lu family, the daughter of Lu Shuang, the minister of the Ministry of War. This Lu Shuang was not the other Lu Shuang. He was the same Lu Shuang who had his fiancée taken away by the emperor and later gave the Zheng family to Huaiyu as his concubine. Not the same person.

This Lu Shuang is from the Lu family in Wu County and is also the top noble family in Jiangnan. Wang Xie Yuan Xiao and Gu Lu Zhu Zhang.

"It seems like my student, his wife Lu just gave birth to a daughter for him this year."

Wu Huaiyu said with a smile, "We'll see when the time comes. If Xingjian and his wife are willing, we'll book Chenglu's wife with him."

Asang heard about Pei Xingjian's family background and asked her wife Lu's family background. She couldn't help frowning, "Although Pei Xingjian is your student, the child is his eldest daughter. I'm afraid she won't be suitable for Chenglu, right?"

Wu Huaiyu didn't think that his bastard was not worthy of the Pei family's legitimate daughter.

Of course, you can't force this kind of thing. If others are not willing, then even your own students can't force it.

Asang asked, "Does Pei Xingjian have a concubine?"

"It's true. Before his wife, Mrs. Lu, came in, he had already taken two concubines. They were both from Hedong, from the Liu family and the Xue family. They both gave birth to a daughter. Now Pei Xingjian has three daughters."

"Then it would be great if Chenglu asks the Pei family for a concubine to be his wife."

Asang is quite concerned about the fact that his son is a concubine and a concubine.

"When I talk to Xingjian, I don't actually have to marry his daughter. I'm quite familiar with the Peixueliu family in Hedong. In addition, I'm more familiar with the nobles of Chang'an, especially the military nobles. I want to marry Chenglu. It's not difficult to arrange a marriage, and it's not difficult to find a legitimate daughter."

"Thank you, my husband, for caring so much for Shirou, but he is a concubine after all, and I don't force him to find a legitimate daughter from a famous family,"

"Finding Chenglu a capable wife will be helpful to him in the future."

Wu Huaiyu arranged for Chenglu to give him the Ludao family property in advance, but it would be difficult to hold on to it without help.

Sometimes Wu Huaiyu feels that he has completely integrated into this era. He has started to arrange marriages and political marriages for his children when they were young, but in this era, such well-matched marriages are extremely common.

It is also the responsibility of parents to arrange a good marriage for their children.
