A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 201 Three sisters want to marry

Huaiyu did a lot of things like issuing fake sick leave notes when she was studying.

But dignified Sikong, Wei Guogong, and Zuo Pushe want Huaiyu to issue him a sick leave note, which is worth pondering.

Wu Huaiyu's uncle, the warrior Xun, and Pei Ji were both heroes of Taiyuan Yuanmou, but Wu Huaiyu is definitely the new emperor's confidant, and Pei Ji must be clear about this.

But he still asked for it.

These words were not addressed to Wu Huaiyu, but obviously directly addressed to Li Shimin.

"I think Mr. Pei looks good. It should just be that he's overworked. It's fine to pay attention to rest." Huaiyu pretended not to understand.

Today Pei Ji resigned, Li Shimin might just let him rest at home, this is not some kind of gift and preferential treatment, it is obvious that Li Shimin still remembers Pei Ji's grudge.

Who doesn't know that Pei Ji is the emperor's confidant, and he often enters the palace to drink and play the piano together. It is said that the relationship between the two is so good that when Li Yuan called him into the palace, they enjoyed the dancing of the concubines together. Pei's mansion has a banquet and will return in the evening.

People are guys who can share clothes.

But everyone also knows that Pei Ji has enmity with the current new emperor. The two prime ministers Pei Ji and Liu Wenjing at the beginning of the founding of the country, Liu Wenjing was Li Shimin's confidant, but in the end he was slandered and killed by Pei Jijin, and Li Shimin even fought with Jiancheng. Li Shimin.

Now that Pei Ji wanted to get out of the way, he had to ask Li Shimin if he would agree.

Huaiyu knew the future history long ago, Pei Ji did not end well, Li Shimin has always remembered this grudge.

The carriage arrived at Duke Wei's mansion.

Pei Ji's house was granted by Li Yuan as the imperial armor.

Jia Di was in the Tang Dynasty, and it was not just called it casually. Houses were also called Di, and there was the order of Jia and B.Those who can't get out of the inner gate and face the main road are called Di. Although the nobles are nobles, and the food towns are less than a thousand, their homes are not called Di.

First, it must be a mansion with the privilege to open the door to the street, and its owner must be a marquis or above, and at least a prince.

If you seal a county as the county magistrate, even if you can open the door in front of the street, you can only be called Yidi, not Jiadi.

In Pei Ji's Sikong mansion, Shi Chonggong and caissons are treated only by princes, and no princes and princes can go beyond them.

The Wutou gate has five rooms and nine frames in the main room.

Peiji's mansion occupies a quarter of Yifang, and their house even has a tall flying building, which can overlook the neighbor's house next door.

There are many violations in the Pei Mansion, but they are all authorized by Li Yuan.

Pei Ji pulled Wu Huaiyu out of the car and entered the mansion, straight into the hall.

There are many maidservants in Pei's mansion, and they are very young, most of them are rewarded directly from the palace, and there are many Silla maidservants, Bosiji and so on.

But what Wu Huaiyu felt was that the building was about to collapse.

"When I was Erlang's age, I was still a poor scholar. I once walked to Chang'an, the capital, and passed by Huayue Temple. I prayed in the temple, hoping that the gods would send me good dreams and guide me. That night, I dreamed of a pulsatilla I said, I can only be successful when I am over forty years old, and I will eventually become an extremely human minister."

Huaiyu listened with a smile.

It's true that Pei Ji was down and out when he was young, but unlike ordinary poor people, Pei Ji's family is from the Pei family in Hedong, a prominent family with the surname of Guanzhong County. Pei Ji's father was a royal doctor in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. His ancestors have been officials for several generations, and the officials are not young .

When he was young, he was affected by the war and his family fell into poverty, but the emaciated camel was bigger than a horse. The so-called poverty did not affect his studies, etc., but he was not as rich as his ancestors.

In fact, at the age of 14, Pei Ji made up the master book of Bozhou. After the establishment of the Sui Dynasty, he was awarded Zuo Qinwei. The deputy supervisor met Li Yuan in Taiyuan, and since then he has soared into the sky.

He is only in his fifties now, a few years younger than Li Yuan, and he was indeed in his early forties when he met Li Yuan.

However, Huaiyu thinks that this so-called Psyllium's dream guidance is probably made up by himself, or maybe he really has this dream, but the dream is not real.

Thinking every day, dreaming at night.

"I've heard that Wu Erlang is proficient in Taoism, he can face-to-face divination and look at Qi. I wonder if Wu Erlang can take a look for me?"

"Pei Xiang, I only learned a little Taoist scriptures and medical skills in Zhongnan Mountain, and I only learned a little superficially, as for divination and astrology, I have never learned.

Moreover, the imperial court has just issued an edict that the common people are not allowed to set up demon temples, and miscellaneous divination is even forbidden. "

Wu Huaiyu knew Pei Ji's fate a long time ago, and was exiled to death in the end.

Li Shimin hated Pei Ji very much, and Pei Ji also knew that Li Shimin hated Pei Ji for slandering and killing Liu Wenjing. Liu Wenjing didn't die. Li Shimin felt that there was no need to be forced to launch the Xuanwu Gate Change. Maybe he had already been honored by Li Yuan to make him the prince.

Wu Huaiyu didn't want to get involved with Pei Ji's matter at all, this is a pile of shit now, whoever gets involved will be unlucky.

Wu Huaiyu's attitude made Pei Ji's expression turn ugly.

After a long time, he let out a long sigh, smiled wryly and whispered to Wu Huaiyu, "Your Majesty gave me a money-making furnace before, which can make [-] coins a year. Now it's been five years. If Wu Erlang can help me with this, Let me return to my hometown in Hedong to enjoy my old age in peace, and I would like to donate all the money I made in the past five years, [-] guan."

It is impossible for Huaiyu to agree.

"Erlang's hometown is Wenshui, Bingzhou, and my hometown is Sangquan, Puzhou, Hedong. There are also many fields in Shouyang and Wenshui. I would like to donate [-] mu of land to Erlang in Shouyang and Wenshui."

"Pei Xiang, you are joking,"

Huaiyu prescribed Pei Ji a medicine to soothe the nerves and nourish the blood, and then got up to leave.

Pei Ji is generous, he really gave up his money, Huaiyu wanted it too, but he dared not.

Pei Ji is already a dead person, and he can last a few years at most. That's Li Shimin's cat playing with a mouse. He wants to play with him completely. He will avenge his old hatred and uproot his influence. Who dares to mix this kind of thing inside.

Pei Ji sat on the couch, his face ashen. The emperor's confidants treated him so well, this old fox already understood his fate.

"Send General Wu!"

The steward of Pei's mansion brought Huaiyu a brocade with unicorns embroidered with gold thread, which was rewarded by the Supreme Emperor before, and each horse cost tens of thousands of dollars.

Huaiyu refused.

Hurrying out of the Sikong Mansion, Huaiyu looked at the two rows of halberds below the porch, and the tall Wutoumen. These symbols of wealth and honor seemed empty.

Under the sunlight, it was hard to hide the lifelessness.

One emperor and one courtier.

Pei Ji's favor in the Wude Dynasty is unparalleled, but now it is the new emperor and the new dynasty.

What about the Pei family in Hedong, and what about the founding prime minister in nine years?

On the way to leave, Huaiyu even felt a little heavy, not because he felt sorry for the more than 1 yuan and [-] acres of good land, but because he felt that being with a king is like being with a tiger.

Li Yuan is really good to Pei Ji, it is estimated that it is difficult to find such a pair of monarchs and ministers in this world, but now that Li Yuan is trapped in the Taiji Palace, how can he care about Pei Ji.

Perhaps this is also the tragedy of the imperial power era.

Just like the four big families in the Red Mansion, the building collapsed in a blink of an eye when the oil was cooked on the surface.

······
The eighth day of October.

Li Shimin canonized his eldest son Li Chengqian, the king of Zhongshan, as the crown prince. The eldest grandson of the empress's eldest son was just eight years old.

In the morning, after Huaiyu participated in Chengqian's crown prince canonization ceremony, he immediately returned to Yongxingfang. The family had already prepared the ceremony in advance.

The Wu family also invited drummers to play and beat all the way. A long gift-giving team traveled more than ten miles to Fan Xing's house in Huaiyuan Fang.

Hearing the loud and joyful music, Wei Zheng and his wife stood at the door looking at the long queue and the picks of gifts tied with red cloth flowers, feeling very bitter in their hearts.

Wu Erlang succeeded in marrying the daughter of Duke Pingying, but their Wei family was completely rejected by the Wang family.

Although Xia Ping didn't want to welcome relatives, the Wu family still had a lot of fun, and Wu Huaiyu didn't really care about being impeached by the censor.

The marriage of two upstarts was grand and lively, and many famous nobles in Chang'an saw it and said sourly that they were nouveau riche.

In a very high-profile way, the Wu family specially loaded three hundred bolts of plain silk at the front of the car, and hung a sign, offering three hundred bolts of silk as a gift.

The long queue at the back, with the gifts one after another, didn't say anything at all.

For Xia Ping, Huaiyu also borrowed money like Wei Zheng next door, except that he didn’t need to borrow money from Beijing or even mortgage the house. Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, Samurai Xun, and Samurai Ling all took the initiative to give him a sum of money, An Yuan Shou and Fatty Wu also said that they would give him money and food first, but Huaiyu refused, because Qin Qiong and the others had given too much.

Along with Pingli, there is also a gift book.

After the big ceremony, in the afternoon of the same day, Qin Qiong and the two big matchmakers discussed with Fan's family the date of welcoming the bride, which is the date of the six ceremonies.

"How about just booking it on the eighteenth of this month? October eighteenth, autumn is high and crisp, golden autumn in October, harvest season, good season, good day." Fan Xing said cheerfully.

This day was actually chosen by his daughter. He originally proposed to wait until the twelfth lunar month, or the beginning of spring next year, but Fan Xuanfu couldn't wait for a day. There are four women in Wu Huaiyu's family. Know if four will become eight.

If you wait any longer, those fox girls will be born by then.

Although Qin Qiong felt that the time was a bit rushed, Huaiyu said that there was no problem at all, so it was settled like this.

Fan Xing held the gift list, "I have something to tell you. My Fan family's hometown is from Anlu in the south of Shannan. It can be regarded as a powerful and powerful family in Anlu. According to the customs of my hometown, when the clan marries a daughter, the same clan must have a concubine..."

Ladies, marry as you please.

It is said that this originated from the pre-Qin period. When the ancient princes and bureaucrats married their daughters, there must be a nephew to marry them, which is called a concubine.

Up to now, there is still a concubine between the wife of a noble official and his concubine.

Concubine, noble concubine.

The law of the Tang Dynasty stipulates that it is illegal to have a concubine above the fifth rank and a concubine above the common people.

Some rich and famous families in the Tang Dynasty also practiced this system of concubine marriage, where cousins, aunts and nieces married together.

The prince of the Tang Dynasty, two Ruren, ten concubines, heir king of the county, first-rank officials, ten concubines, second-rank officials, eight concubines, third-rank and Duke concubines six, fourth-rank concubines four, fifth-rank three concubines people.

For officials below the fifth rank, all the women they accept are called concubines, not concubines.

In the Tang Dynasty, there was still a strict distinction between wives, concubines, and concubines. For example, the concubines of the prince were divided into three classes: Ruren, concubine, and concubine.

Fan Xing said that their Fan family in Anlu also has the custom of marrying in marriage, cousins ​​and nieces in the same family marry in marriage, not only clan girls, but also maidservants, that is, maids with dowry.

"Our Fan family in Anlu has a big family, and they all want to marry. Unfortunately, Erlang is only a fifth-rank official, and he can only marry three people. Otherwise, our Fan family can afford to marry ten people."

"I can only bring more maidservants. The eldest lady has personally selected twelve maidservants. Three of her married cousins ​​will bring four maidservants each..."

Huaiyu was also a little confused when he heard this, why did he engage in a Turkic attack?

When it comes to getting married soon, it suddenly said that there are three dowry younger sisters?
