A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 251 The Yang Family
"Wei Zheng wants to marry our family?"

In Shouyang Hou's mansion, Lao Wu was very surprised to hear his son say that Wei Zheng intended to get married, and then said mockingly: "Didn't this sheep nose always get along with our family before? Now he still has the face to propose marriage?"

Lao Wu is not a person with a small belly, but he is not a person without a temper. Wei Zheng has impeached his son several times before, no matter what is right or wrong, in short, he, Wei Zheng, provoked this matter first.

Now I still have the face to propose marriage.

During this period of time, he didn't throw chicken intestines and pig lungs to the next door, it was all polite.

Huaiyu just chuckled.

Lao Wu vented his temper and turned to his son, "What do you think?"

"Look at the old man."

Lao Wu looked at his son, he was only nineteen years old, but he was about to go to Shuofang to serve as governor, "Erlang, I don't understand your relationship with the old Wei next door, you can tell Aye. "

In the past, the Wu family didn't move to Yongxingfang, and their family was still in Sanyuan, so they couldn't get along with Wei Zheng, but Wei Zheng stopped Huaiyu from making meritorious service in Longyou and wanting to be made a viscount. Later, when Huaiyu returned to Beijing, Wei Zheng impeached Huai again Yu several times.It was true that the two families were not in harmony at one time, and Lao Wu did not seldom splash blood and feces on the next door.

But now the relationship between the son and Wei Zheng is actually getting better, and they often go to each other without telling each other, and the son even introduced a good marriage to Wei Zheng as a matchmaker.

Wei Zheng also wanted to marry a Wu family daughter for his second son.

What's going on here?

"Aye, in fact, people have selfishness and affection. Just like this Wei Zheng, no matter how much he claims to be loyal and upright, he is not invulnerable. It's like he bowed his head and asked me for a loan to marry a woman with five surnames. Do you pay for your money?"

Huaiyu had confronted Wei Zheng head-on before, and found that this person was really not good at anything, and there was nothing easy to catch.

Although the other party cheated Wei Zheng by using the fact that the other party wanted to marry a woman with five surnames for his son, he also cheated him of a thousand coins and a secret recipe of Wei Gongjiu.

But he found that this did not solve the problem.

This guy is a donkey and hits backwards.

You have to touch your hair.

Wu Huaiyu introduced Xue Wang's marriage to him, which can be regarded as compensation for poaching his corner and prying Wang Xueshi's daughter. Chang'an also has some gossip. I know, maybe I really have to fight him to the death.

Changed hands to introduce two marriages to Wei Zheng, and Wei Zheng owed him a big favor.

It is impossible for a person to have no feelings at all.

Wei Zheng owes Master Huaiyu a favor, so he must be a little scrupulous in the future.

"Then get married?" Old Wu asked.

"It's okay to tie it, or not to tie it. Father doesn't need to think about other things, just think about whether Wei Erlang is suitable."

Wu Huaiyu never thought about how close he would be to Wei Zheng, but it wouldn't matter if he got married or not. It doesn't mean that getting married would make him a friend.

Lao Wu sat there and groaned, "I have met Wei Erlang a few times, he is very polite and smart at a young age, and his Wei family can be regarded as a noble family in Julu, Hebei. Now Wei Zheng is famous and his official position is not low. With his temper, it is estimated that he will offend people less in the future, I don't know if he can stay in the court for a long time."

Huaiyu smiled and said, "Don't worry about this father, don't think Wei Zheng is going around beating people, but it is what a sage needs. I think Wei Zheng has a great career and will be a prime minister in the future."

"Impossible? Wei Zheng, a goat-nosed man, can be prime minister?"

"can."

After Lao Wu heard this, he really thought about it seriously. If his daughter married the son of the future prime minister, the prime minister's relatives sound good. Huaiyu brothers are young, and there will be a relative of the prime minister in the future court, so they can help.At least if they became in-laws, Wei Zheng would be too embarrassed to find fault with Huaiyu.

"Then agree to this marriage?"

"Aye, I think we should ask my little sister for her opinion first."

"Marriage matters are always ordered by the parents and the words of the matchmaker." Lao Wu waved his hands.

But Huaiyu still asked her younger sister Yuwan to be called.

"Second brother, what do you want from me?"

Tangren's elder brother not only means elder brother, but sometimes it also means father. An elder brother is like a father.

"Little sister, do you recognize the second child of the Wei family next door?"

"Second brother is referring to Wei Shuyu? He writes beautifully and can draw, but he is not as good as second brother."

Yuwan was born to the Wang family, the youngest child in the family. She is six years old this year. She used to be a little yellow and thin. Huaiyu prescribed a prescription for her to take care of her. In addition, after coming to Chang'an, the family has a dairy goat, which is supplemented with meat, eggs and milk every day. Keep up, and the child will grow up.

Now the little girl is slim, her skin is pink and tender, her skin is rosy, and she is dressed well, she is really a different person from before.

Huaiyu has always liked Yuwan, and he doesn't care about his concubines, Huaiyu loves her as much as her two nieces, and really like her daughter.

This girl has always liked Huaiyu, and she also likes to cling when she is free.

"Little sister, now the old Wei next door is proposing marriage to our family for Wei Shuyu. He has a crush on you and wants to get engaged. Do you want to?"

"I do not know."

"Then do you hate Wei Shuyu?"

"I don't hate it, but his father always has a straight face and wrinkled face, which is a bit scary, but Aunt Wei is very kind, and he often gives me snacks."

The little girl still doesn't know much about this important matter of marriage, but she doesn't hate Wei Shuyu, but rather likes Pei Shi.

Huaiyu then asked people to invite Liu and Wang to explain the matter.

Mrs. Liu asked Mrs. Wang, "Yuwan was born to you, you mother-in-law make up your mind."

The Wang family is from the south of the Yangtze River, and he can be regarded as a nobleman. Later, he entered the Sui Palace, and then rewarded the warrior Ke. Life is really hard, and Wu Liushi was not very kind to her in the early days, but not too bad.

Now it's over.

My son is now studying in an ethnology school, and he has also arranged a good marriage with a girl with five surnames. Wang often wakes up with a smile in his dreams, and he is especially grateful to Wu Huaiyu.

"I'll listen to Erlang's opinion on this matter." Wang looked at Huaiyu.

Huaiyu was willing to pay more than 200 million yuan to be engaged to a woman with five surnames for San Lang. Although he was San Lang's half-brother, the elder brother really didn't say anything.

"If you don't object, I think this kind of marriage is not bad. After all, the Wei family who proposed marriage on their own initiative is much better than our Shangzi. Besides, Wei Shuyu is also the second son of the Wei family. The most important thing is that I think this child is very good. You are smart, you will have a bright future, and the Wei family's family background is stronger than our Wu family's."

"Then accept this marriage." Lao Wu finally spoke.

"I listen to Alang and Erlang." Wang said.

Old Wu smiled and said, "This sheep-nosed man, when we meet in the future, he will be polite and call me my father-in-law."

"See if he dares to impeach Erlang in the future."

······
Huaiyu didn't immediately tell the Wu family that they were willing to get married, let's wait for a few days before talking, there is no rush.

This marriage was initiated by the Wei family, not by the Wu family fanning his Wei family.

Huaiyu followed the samurai Xun to Hongnong Yang's family to pay homage, and together they went to the mansion of Yang Gongren, the Duke of Muguan in Yongzhou. Hanging a title, not actually going to be a director, is basically a retired state.

Yang Gongren's father, Yang Xiong, was the king of Guan in the Sui Dynasty, and his official position was Sikong, so this branch is called the house of Guan Wang. Yang Da, Yang Xiong's younger brother, is the father of the warrior Yu Xuxian.

Yang Gongren's seven brothers are all high-ranking Zifei officials, and even Yang Gongren's three sons are all third-rank. They are either governors or generals of the twelve guards.

Although the Sui Dynasty perished, the royal house was still very prominent in the Tang Dynasty. In the palaces of the Supreme Emperor and the New Emperor, there were several daughters of their families.

However, with the abdication of the Supreme Emperor and the ascension of the new emperor, Yang Gongren is no longer the prime minister, and the Yang family is no longer as prominent as before.

At the beginning, the Yang family looked down upon him a little, because the emperor personally proposed marriage, and finally had to agree to marry the 40-year-old Yang family to the warrior Xun. Who knows that the warrior Xun is doing very well in the new dynasty now.

Yang Gongren, one of the 48 heroes of Shifeng, did not get involved.

Compared with the scenery when Yang Gongren entered Beijing in the sixth year of Wude, it is really a stark contrast. At the beginning, he came to Beijing from the post of Governor of Liangzhou, worshiped as Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and then served as a servant, and then worshiped as Ling of Zhongshuling, and still served as an official Minister of the Ministry, Governor of Liangzhou, and General Zuowei, General Qigu and other important positions, the scenery is infinite.

Now I can only sit at home.

After the new year's Zhengdan Dynasty, the emperor promoted Yang Gongren to the rank of Doctor Zuo Guanglu.

Although they are both Cong Yipin, they are obviously one level lower than Kaifu Yi Tong Sansi.

Yang Gongren didn't care about this kind of false title for a long time. He is only 59 this year, and he feels that he can work for a few more years.

Even if you go to a place like a samurai and become a governor.

Once this person retired, he could feel the coldness of the world. The family did not have an important role in the court, and even fewer people came to pay New Year's greetings.

The samurai Xun proposed to his wife and brother that he wanted to exchange their [-]-acre land in Qinglongfang to build a family temple for Huaiyu.

Lao Yang looked at Wu Huaiyu, and the more he watched, the more he liked it.

"If Erlang hadn't married Fan Manzi's daughter, I would definitely marry my daughter to Erlang." Lao Yang's words made everyone feel more cordial.

"A mere vegetable field in Nancheng is not worth a few pennies. It is a good thing that Erlang established a family temple. My Yang family will present this place to celebrate."

As he said that, Lao Yang directly asked someone to take the title deed of the [-] mu of vegetable land in Qinglongfang and hand it over to Wu Huaiyu.

"Guan Guogong, I dare not accept this."

"Our Yang and Wu families are relatives,"

That vegetable field can be worth dozens of taels of gold, but in Hongnong Yang's Guanwangfang, dozens of taels of gold are really as worthless as ordinary people's tens of pennies.

Of course, the Yang family didn’t burn too much money. If someone else in Qinglongfang wanted to occupy an inch of his family’s land, there would be no good end. The gift of the land is also the capital of making friends.

Huaiyu can't raise money with Yang Gongren, it's vulgar to mention money, and it's a desecration of the family relationship between the two families.

"I treat you as a relative, a cousin, what do you take me for, a land seller?" Lao Yang stopped Huaiyu with one sentence.

Lao Yang not only gave them more than 30 acres of vegetable land in Huaiyu Qinglongfang to build a family temple, but even warmly entertained them for lunch.

After the meal, Lao Yang asked how the performance was. Huaiyu said it was very good, and then Lao Yang asked him to pick a few to take home.

After finally coming out of Guan Guogong's mansion, Huaiyu actually felt a long sigh of relief, as if it was a tiger's den and a wolf's den.

"Guan Guogong's method of wooing is too simple and rude."

The samurai Xun laughed, "Duke Guan has been sitting on this cold bench recently, and he is a little anxious. Don't look at the dozen or so people in Hongnong Yang's Guan Wangfu Zifei robes. Most of the men and women of the Yang family are married to the royal family, and their family reputation is prominent. But now, except for Yang Shidao, the son-in-law who is Tai Changqing and military supervisor, the others are still far away from the center.

If you were not married, Guan Guogong would have married his daughter to you directly.

The richer the family, the stronger the sense of urgency.

"Is this the 30-odd acres of vegetable land I just took over?" Huaiyu asked.

Lao Wu chuckled, "Of course you can't take it for nothing, but don't think about giving the Yang family money and silk or field servants. They don't lack these. What he wants is that you owe him a favor."

"Then I feel at a loss,"

"There's no reason to regret it after losing money, but don't worry too much, the favor is owed first, and it will be repaid sooner or later."

Huaiyu talked about Wei Zheng's marriage proposal.

The samurai Xun didn't think there was anything wrong after hearing this, "It's not a loss for our concubine to marry his second son, no matter what."

"Fourth Uncle, don't you think that Wei Zheng is not the same as us?"

"What's the matter? Marriage is not about forming a party. The less Wei Zheng is with us, the more likely he is to marry."

There is a deep meaning in these words, which is worthy of Huaiyu's careful consideration.
