A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 26
(On the first day of the Lunar New Year, I would like to wish everyone an early New Year. Happy New Year! I have corrected the error about the inheritance of the Wu family. It has been passed down for 800 generations for more than 26 years from the early Han Dynasty to the early Tang Dynasty.)
Although over seventy years old, the samurai, as the head of the patriarch, still takes his own responsibility to tell the young people what family responsibility is, regardless of his age, and deliberately uses his power to manage the forbidden garden, so that the servants go to the deer park to buy the head male The deer are back.

"This is not good, what if someone impeaches Huaiyu?" The old man clearly wanted to regain his glory, but he said that he bought a deer to entertain Huaiyu.

"What's the matter? There are a lot of deer in the deer garden. Most of them are supplied to the court, and some are used to reward ministers and ministers, and to sell. I also pay for it and it's not about corruption. Whoever is full can support it. Impeach me. Erlang, it is said that the body can be supplemented with the body, you said that in addition to the deer blood wine, the deer stuff can also nourish the body after eating it?"

This old man.

"Well, medicine tonic is not as good as food tonic, but food tonic also has a lot to pay attention to, you must pay attention to the harmony of yin and yang..."

Samurai Leng patted Huaiyu on the shoulder, "Good young man, you learned Taoism at Zhongnan Mountain. After learning such powerful medicine prescriptions, you haven't learned how to make alchemy in a furnace or draw talismans?"

This Huaiyu really has never learned it. He has asked the old Taoist this question before. After all, there are two major schools of Taoism, Zhengyi, which draws talismans, and Quanzhen, which is alchemy.Louguan was very famous before the Song Dynasty, especially in the Tang Dynasty, but it was later merged into the later Quanzhen in the Yuan Dynasty.

However, the old Taoist has never burned the furnace to refine the earth pill, but he is as light as a swallow when flying over the eaves and walking on the wall, and he is also very skilled in medicine.

"I can only be regarded as a half-registered disciple. I followed the free medical clinic and learned a little bit about diagnosis and treatment."

Lao Wu was a little disappointed, he was still thinking about what more powerful rejuvenation elixir Huaiyu had.

"Then you can do divination, can you infer good or bad luck in the future?"

Huaiyu hesitated for a moment. The old Taoist did not teach him to use turtle shells, copper coins, bamboo sticks, or astrology, but the old Taoist was able to accurately predict his own death many years ago, even to the sky, even theirs. The meeting was all inferred by the old man in advance, and he also said that there was a five-year relationship. If he said that the old man could not predict him, he would not believe it.

But now I go down the mountain and go north according to the old Taoist saying, and when I come to the Tang Dynasty, I don't know how to divination, but I do know the history of the next 1000 years.

But how to tell old man Wu this.

He shook his head.

Old man Wu stared at him for a long time, and finally showed a playful smile, "I understand, the secret must not be revealed."

Huaiyu couldn't explain it.

Old man Wu thought to himself: "Although the Wu family in Bingzhou has been poor for several generations, our ancestors are very powerful. The ancestor is Yin Wang Wu Ding, Yin Wang, do you know?"

He was very proud when he talked about the poor families of the Wu family for several generations. If Huaiyu first came here, he might not know what the poor family has to show off, but now he knows that the poor family is not ordinary in this era. The poor family is also called the common people, not referring to ordinary people. Not to mention the poor, but the families with lower family status, also called small families.

Since the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the poor family did not belong to the gentry family, but mostly refers to the local powerful landlords. They cannot be compared with those gentry families, but at least they are also big families with family status in the local area.

Not only must the local landlords be powerful, but at least officials must be born from generation to generation.

However, the old man Wu mentioned that the ancestor was Yin Wang Wuding, which surprised Huaiyu. I don’t think it’s so powerful, but I think it’s probably far-fetched to recognize the ancestors of celebrities. The royal family Li did not say that they belonged to the Longxi Li family, but many people said that their family was just from the Li family in Zhaojun.

Of course Yin Wang Wuding Huaiyu knew about it, and the famous ZTE king of Yin Shang Wuding.

Lao Wu said that Wu Ding had made great achievements in defeating ghosts, and his descendants had Wu as their surname.

While waiting for the deer to be bought, Lao Wu planned to pay attention to the family inheritance with Huai Yu.

Only when a family has history can it unite people's hearts.

The bloodline is the true hub of the family.

"A descendant of Wu Ding took Wu as his surname and passed it down to the early Han Dynasty. Wu Biao (Wu Hu, taboo as Biao) of Wei State followed Han Gaozu to pacify the princes, was named Liang Zouhou, and set Liang Zouhou State, two thousand eight hundred Hu, the No.20 hero in the early Han Dynasty. The country is located in Zouping, Jeju. It was handed down to the fourth generation.
His descendants immigrated to Peiguo and formed the prefecture of the Wu family in Peiguo. "

"During the Northern Wei Dynasty, Wu Biao's No. 18 generation, Sun Wuqia, served as Minister of the Five Soldiers, General Pingbei, and Jinyang Gong, and was granted [-] hectares of land in Daling County. Wuqia moved from Peixian County to the fief Jinyang. This is also the beginning of the prestige of the Wu Clan in Taiyuan, and later the Wuqia branch lived in Daling County, and Daling County is the ancient name of today's Wenshui County."

As Lao Wu said, he also asked the eldest son to fetch the genealogy. Famous families have genealogy, which is very precious, and this is the basis of family inheritance.

Duke Wuqia of Jinyang's father was Wu Nian, Marquis of Guiyi, and Wu Nian's grandfather was General Weiyuan, Xuehou Wupu. He served as a censor, and was granted the title of Marquis of Nanchang.

"Qiasheng was born in the Northern Wei Dynasty to sacrifice wine and confer the sacred turtle of Shouyang Gong. This is the beginning of the Wenshuiwu clan. The turtle was born in Bingzhou Dazhongzheng and Situyue Wang Changshi, who was granted the title of Shouyang Gong Keji, and has given birth to the Northern Qi Zhenyuan General Xishouyang Gongju Chang, Chang was born in the Northern Zhou Dynasty Yongchang Wang counseled to join the army Jian, Jian was born in Sui and Dongdu Chenghua, Huasheng Tang Xuancheng Gong Shiling, Anlu Gong Shiyi, Chaosan doctor Shi Rang, Yangzhou Metropolitan Governor Shi Yingguo Gongshi Xun."

"Your father, Shike, is the great-grandson of Duke Shouyang Juchang like me!"

There have been seven generations from Wuqia to warrior Xun, and 25 generations from Wuhu to warrior Xun in the early Han Dynasty.

Warrior Ke's grandfather was a concubine of Wu Juchang. After the Northern Zhou Dynasty destroyed Qi, he chose to take his family back to his hometown of Wenshui to settle down. Warrior Xun's grandfather was also Wu Jian. He was an official in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and his family still lived in Shouyang.

The Wu family in Bingzhou, after several generations since Wuqia, has formed the three branches of the Wu family in Jinyang, the Wu family in Wenshui, and the Wu family in Shouyang. They are collectively referred to as the Wu family in Bingzhou. Zou Xiaohou Wu Biao is Kai Jigong.

The fourth generation of Bingzhou, the Duke of Shouyang, Wu Juchang, was the common great-grandfather of warriors Ke and warriors.

This is the first time Huaiyu has heard of such a clear family inheritance. Wuding is unclear, but from Wu Biao in the early Han Dynasty to the warrior Ke and the warrior Xun, there are 25 generations of inheritance records.

From Marquis Zou of Liang to Marquis of Neihuang, then to Marquis of Nanchang and Marquis Xue, then to Duke Jinyang and Duke Shouyang, and now to the four brothers of the Wu family, the Duke of a country and the Duke of two counties, this is only the lineage of the warrior Xun. The rest of the Wu family also had many titles in the Han, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties.

Lao Wu hadn't told him about this before, and he also knew that Samurai Ke and Samurai Xun were the descendants of the two Wu clan branches. They often worked together with Samurai Yu when they were young, but their relationship is quite close.

Originally, among the three Wu clans in Bingzhou, the Wu family in Jinyang was Dazong, also known as Taiyuan Fang, the one in Shouyang was called Shouyang Fang, and the one in Wenshui was also called Daling Fang.

However, Wu Qia was passed down to Huaiyu's generation, which is actually only the eighth generation, and they are relatively close.

Huaiyu used to really think that the ancestors of the old Wu family were very ordinary, and even thought that the samurai Xun was just selling tofu and selling wood when he was young. Only now did he know that the great-grandfather of the samurai Xun was a county duke, his grandfather was a county king and joined the army, and his father also made it to the east. Du Cheng, no matter how the officials become smaller and smaller, they will always be the successors of the officials.

The samurai Xun's first title from the Dragon Queen was the Duke of Shouyang County.It was a title passed down from generation to generation by his ancestors.

Such an inherited family can only be regarded as a poor family, and now a family of three males is still called a nouveau riche.

Those top aristocratic clans with five surnames and seven families in the Kanto and four surnames in the Kansai, the background is really bottomless.

Huaiyu's house actually belonged to the Daling House, and they were not in the same house as the warrior Xun.

Wu Shike's father and ancestors are all descendants of the common people. When he came to Wu Shike, he had no father since he was a child. He helped sell tofu since he was a child, but he can also make contributions in troubled times. Ding has also obtained a ninth-rank military position in the Forbidden Army.

Many members of the Bingzhou Wu family, such as Wu Shike, followed the right people in this wave of dynasty change and enjoyed great dividends.

The most remarkable thing about the Wu family is not the grassroots counterattack, but the fact that the Wu family of the three families is very united and helpful, and the population is still very prosperous, with a large number of clan members.

Just like Samurai Leng, at the age of 70, he should have become an official, but he is in good health, accepts concubines every year, gives birth to children every year, and still continues to serve as the fourth-rank Sinong Shaoqing.

However, although the Wu family is a Conglong Gongxun family, they also have hidden worries. They followed Li Yuan loyally and were the emperor's confidant Yuan Cong. Otherwise, he will ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor. At that time, the emperor and his courtiers, as the confidant of the old emperor, may fall aside in the new dynasty.

"That boy Huaiyi has been to me a few times before. He's pretty good. His riding and shooting skills are very solid, but he's a little too straightforward. Now, by chance, he's become an attendant of King Qin's Baiqi, and he has a bright future. We, the younger generation of the Wu family, From now on, it seems that you two brothers have the most predecessors. In the future, our Wu family, you brothers, remember to take care of us, we are old, and the family will have to rely on you young people in the future."

Although the three brothers of Samurai Leng were all enshrined as princes, their descendants have not shown any special prospects. For example, the eldest son of Samurai Leng, Wu Junya, is fifty, and he is only an eighth-rank military officer, and his life is over.

The servant came to report that the deer had been brought.

The samurai got up and wanted to slaughter the deer himself. He put on the apron, and his movements were very skillful. He drained the deer's blood, peeled the skin, deboned and divided the flesh, without any unnecessary movements.

"Bring a jar of the royal wine that His Majesty gave me." Lao Wu was very excited when he saw the fresh deer blood, and immediately asked Huaiyu to match him with deer blood bone strengthening wine.

"Ah Lang, Marshal Wu of Sanyuan Longqiao and his son Wu Baiqi are visiting." The servant reported.

Lao Wu glanced at Huaiyu and laughed loudly, "It seems that my brother was worried that you were alone in the capital, so he came here in such a hurry, and we happened to eat venison together."

"Go, welcome!"

When they came to the gate, the father brought Huaiyi and the youngest Huailiang were there, and Hou San was driving the car beside him.

"Aye, brother!"

"Erlang, why didn't you say that you came to Chang'an." The father first came up to greet his brother, the warrior, and then hurried over to see his son. He didn't see his son when he came back yesterday. , and then followed Li Sanniang to Chang'an, Lao Wu was worried, so he hurried here today.

I went to Li's mansion to inquire, and then I found out that I came here.

"It's hot outside, so go to the gazebo in the garden first to cool off. It's a coincidence that you came sooner than later. I just bought a deer to slaughter today. You came here as soon as the deer was slaughtered."

On the way, Samurai Ke held Huaiyu's hand and kept asking questions. Although the Li family is a neighbor, they are a well-known family.

Huaiyu made a long story short and simply said the matter.

"Madam Yongkang gave you a beautiful maidservant, and also a dowry?" Lao Wu heard that Huaiyu helped Li's family to dispense medicine, and Mrs. Zhang sent [-] pieces of silk. A dowry, the dowry actually included [-] acres of fertile land in Lijiazhuang in Sanyuan, plus a cattle and a horse silk, and another [-] horses of silk worth [-] yuan, etc. Father Wu was very happy.

"My son is amazing, where are the man and the silk money dowry?"

Huaiyu was surprised to see his father like this, "I thought Aye would disagree."

"Why don't you agree? Erlang's prescription is a treasure. Dalang's injury was so severe that he healed as before. We didn't receive the reward for nothing. Since they gave us away, they accepted it. What are you afraid of? I was the gang leader under Li Jing back then. I know him well. Although he doesn't like to socialize with others, he has a bit of arrogance like a son of a family, and he is a little too cautious in his actions, but in fact he is still very forthright and bright, not the kind who likes to make trouble in secret. A person who tricks."

Lao Wu has a clear attitude, of course there is no reason to refuse such a good thing.

"What's the girl's name?"

"Siqi, whose real name is Chen Runniang."

"Okay, I agree with you to accept Runniang as a concubine. As soon as the Li family documents arrive, you should go to the yamen to get the household registration documents done."

Lao Wu felt that this was not taking advantage of Li's family. His son's medicine was precious, and he was not worried about Li Jing's family having bad intentions. He knew Li Jing's personality.

Just now I was worried all the way, but now my father is in a very happy mood.

　Happy New Year to everyone, the Year of the Rabbit is auspicious!
