A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 301 Gossip
Huaiyu only stayed in Yanzhou City for a few days before returning to Baicheng.Li Sanniang followed on horseback, and Martial Brother Wu kept shouting along the way.

This made Huaiyu's subordinates and behind-the-scenes staff all stare sideways.

Li Deju has also discovered the problem now. It's not that he is suspicious. This niece is really worried, calling for Junior Brother Wu, but these days in Yanzhou, she looks for Wu Huaiyu every day, wherever she goes, even if It was the blind man in Yanzhou City, who already knew that Mrs. Li San of the Yongkang Mansion was having an affair with the military governor.

Li Deju had no choice but to gently remind his niece that Wu Huaiyu had a wife, three concubines and four concubines, and there were many concubines, but Li Sanniang didn't seem to understand.

Still going its own way, still looking for Wu Huaiyu every day.

This time back to Baicheng, Li Deju hoped that Sanniang would leave a few days later, but Li Sanniang still followed, and even rode beside Wu Huaiyu the whole time, talking and laughing all the way.

Li Deju, who was watching, could only sigh again and again, he couldn't understand the gazes of other people.

It is estimated that there will be a joke in Chang'an City soon.

Sanniang of the Yongkang Duke's Mansion, a daughter of a famous family, is actually having an affair with a married man like this.

This will not only embarrass the Li family, but more importantly, Li Sanniang's reputation, how will she marry in the future?
You said that if she was a widowed young widow, she would be the same as Qinghe Cui and Cheng Yaojin, and she would be understandable, but she was still a young girl.

Back in Baicheng, the Fan family sisters immediately came to Huaiyu seriously.

"I heard that Mrs. Li San of the Yongkang Mansion is entangled with Erlang every day?"

Huaiyu looked at their situation, "What are you talking about? Sanniang is Runniang's righteous sister and the grandniece of my teacher Yongkang Gong. She is even my senior sister. She just came from Chang'an. As the landlord, I I definitely want to entertain her, and introduce her to the local customs and customs here, she wants to run the manor saltworks here, buy land and build houses, etc. It is normal for me to help with some things."

Wu Huaiyu didn't think too much about it.

After all, Mrs. Li has a noble status. Although she is not Li Jing's granddaughter, she is the granddaughter of Li Jing's brother. She is the eldest granddaughter of Li's family, and Li Jing has no daughter. This third lady was raised by their husband and wife big.

Longxi Li's Danyang House, Yongkang Duke's Mansion, the eldest daughter of the eldest family, such an identity, whether it is marrying five surnames and seven families, or Guanlong six surnames, that is enough, marrying the sons of the real feudal princes in the military upstarts, That's all married.

How could he have anything to do with Li Sanniang as a married man?

Li Sanniang just has a free and easy personality. After all, they have known each other for a long time, so he has no random thoughts at all.

Seeing Huaiyu's attitude, Fan Wuniang said angrily, "Concubines are women, and women understand women better. Although Li Sanniang comes from a famous family, Erlang, you are young, promising, and handsome..."

Huaiyu hurriedly interrupted her, "Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, although I also think I'm handsome, but I'm still kind of self-aware. Sanniang just knows me well, and she has a free and easy personality, but it really doesn't mean anything else. , don’t think too much about it.”

"Erlang, my concubine is waiting in Baicheng, and I have already heard a lot of ambiguous rumors about you in Yanzhou. At this moment, it is estimated that Chang'an City has already started to spread..."

Huaiyu pinched her chin, "It's not that serious, is it?"

He really didn't think about it, he just felt that Sanniang was free and easy, and with this relationship with the Li family, calling her sister was really a sister, so why did there even gossip.

"It's all rumored, otherwise how do we know?"

"This is bad."

Wu Huaiyu still didn't think that Li Sanniang would be interested in him, but felt that the two of them were getting close these days, and if they didn't pay attention for a while, it would cause outsiders to misunderstand and spread random rumors. He didn't care, but it would damage Sanniang's reputation.

"It seems that I have to pay attention to it in the future."

Seeing Huaiyu like this, the Fan family sisters couldn't help being puzzled. Could it be that it was just a random rumor from outsiders that there was really nothing between Huaiyu and Sanniang?
But the two of them didn't believe it.

After all, women from famous families pay attention to reputation, who would get so close to other men?

"Why don't I go visit Li Sanniang and explain what I'm saying? She is the daughter of the Yongkang Palace, and she is still in her boudoir, so she should pay attention to her reputation."

"Or don't, don't you humiliate Sanniang by coming to the door like this."

Sure enough, this scandal spread quickly in Yanzhou.

One is the governor of Yanzhou, the newly promoted county magistrate of Shifeng, and the other is the daughter of the Danyang family of the Li family in Longxi, a clan of Guanlongmen.

They are talented and beautiful, but one of them is married to the daughter of Lord Ying, while the other is not engaged.

Such two people, if there is some scandal, the common people love to hear it, the speed of the spread is faster than the wind, and even the continuous processing of adding oil and vinegar, becoming more and more amazing.

Some rumors even say that the two have been together for a long time, and some even say that they were already together in Chang'an, and later it was Ying Guogong Fan Xing's daughter who seized love...
Li Deju came to see his niece.

First brew a pot of Mengding Huangya green tea.

"The loose tea from Erlang's family is delicious." Li Sanniang said with a smile.

Li Deju became more and more helpless, "Now there are some rumors."

"It's about you."

Li Sanniang was straightforward, "It's about me and Erlang."

"It seems that you have heard of it too."

"I've heard some."

"Go back to Chang'an."

"I just came here, I don't want to go back."

Li Deju was a little angry, "Now that the trouble is like this, why are you still here, go back quickly."

"Do not."

"I'm your second uncle,"

Li Sanniang picked up the teapot and poured tea, and said in a leisurely manner, "What's wrong with Second Uncle?"

"You don't care about your family's reputation, don't you care about your own reputation? You are also of marriageable age, and you are not a child. How will you get married if you are making trouble in the city?"

Li Sanniang picked up the teacup, tasted it carefully, and didn't care.

"What on earth did you think?"

Li Sanniang asked back, "Isn't Second Uncle here all the time these days, what's going on that Second Uncle doesn't know?"

Li Deju was a little angry, "You really can't see anything when you are a second uncle? I admit that Wu Huaiyu is indeed young and promising, he looks good and young, talks funny, and is talented, but he is already a married woman. Husband, why don’t you understand why you are the daughter of a famous family?”

"I don't feel like I did anything wrong."

"Wrong, you are very wrong, you should hurry back to Chang'an."

"No return."

The uncle and nephew are stuck there.

Although Li Deju is also a dissolute person, but now he still wants to persuade his niece not to go further and further down this wrong path.

"It's wrong for you to do this, and there will be no good results."

Unfortunately, she couldn't listen at all.

Even if Li Deju used his uncle's name to suppress her, it was useless.

Annoyed, Li Deju went directly to Wu Huaiyu.

Li Deju got straight to the point, and hoped that he would pay more attention to the distance and proportion between Sanniang and him in the future.

"I want to apologize to Brother De Prize. I was wrong about this matter. I didn't pay attention for a while. It caused a very bad impact on the reputation of the Li family and Sanniang. I will change it."

Wu Huaiyu's attitude made Li Deju puzzled again.

Is this just Sanniang's wishful thinking and unrequited love?
But facing Wu Huaiyu's attitude, he couldn't say anything more.

When Li Sanniang came to look for Wu Huaiyu again, Huaiyu had already started looking for reasons to disappear.

Although he avoids it everywhere, it is not so easy to dispel the rumors, especially the rumors.

He hides, but Li Sanniang chases after him.

This confused Wu Huaiyu too.

Could it be that what Fan Wuniang and the others said is true?

It shouldn't be, no matter Li Sanniang's family background, or her appearance, morality, talent and ability, all of them are the best choice. Such a girl, a famous and handsome person who wants to marry the Li family, can break the threshold of the Li family.

Although Li Sanniang has a certain demeanor of a general and a tiger girl, and sometimes she acts a little too freely, but in the early Tang Dynasty when the atmosphere was open, this was not a big deal.

Even if the conservative old gentry may not accept it, the Guanlong military aristocrats, as well as the upstarts, will never dislike such a daughter-in-law.

Li Jing had just been promoted to be Minister of the Ministry of Punishment and Prince Zuowei. Anyone with a sensitive political mind would know that Li Jing had entered the center and would be more important.

Wu Huaiyu didn't pay much attention to the rumors at first, and felt that it was just that he didn't grasp the sense of distance, which made people misunderstand. After all, he himself would not believe that Li Sanniang would have any meaning for him, it was impossible.

But now, Li Sanniang comes to him every day, even if he finds various reasons to refuse to meet, even with so many rumors now, she still comes to him every day, which is not right.

It doesn't make sense.

I want to meet her on purpose, and have a good talk with her, but I'm afraid that the more we talk, the more troublesome it will become.

Seeing her coming to look for her every day, disregarding the rumors and making the scandal even more serious, Wu Huaiyu had no choice but to run away.

He took Doulu Huairang with him and went directly to Benling Prefecture.

The legitimate reason is, of course, that he, as the head of the Governor's Mansion of Lingzhou, also needs to go back to Lingzhou to handle some affairs of the Governor's Mansion, but in fact he really doesn't know how to deal with Li Sanniang.

It doesn't make sense, it's too weird.

It was Dou Lu Huairang who laughed and Wu Huaiyu all the way.

The son-in-law felt that there was nothing for a man to escape from such a thing.

"What can't be figured out, you are young and promising, handsome and suave, the 19-year-old Shifeng Founding County Duke, known as the Four Wonders, good at writing poems, calligraphy and painting, and also good at medicine, Taoism and alchemy, which one do you think? Girls are confused?
Let me tell you, do you know how many miniature poems the ladies in Chang'an City have now?

To tell you the truth, Princess Wanchun is very miniature. "

Wu Huaiyu looked at Doulu Huairang, how can anyone say that his wife is infatuated with other men, isn't this a hat for himself?
Fortunately, I am not familiar with Princess Wanchun.

"Really, you don't know how famous you are in Chang'an now, especially your frontier poems, which are popular among thousands of people and lead the fashion. Whether you really understand it or pretend to understand it, many ladies and daughters now read your poems."

"Stop talking nonsense."

Although many of Wu Huaiyu's poems were copied from Li Taibai's, he did not believe that now he has Li Taibai's fame and so many adoring fans.

But Dou Lu Huairang said that he is indeed very famous now, "A sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, even if she is a daughter of a famous family, it's easy to get lost."

For the current situation, Dou Lu Huairang is only envious, "It's not you who seduced, but someone else took the initiative, what are you afraid of, don't be cowardly."

Wu Huaiyu looked at the wretched Doulu Huairang, "Duke Yongkang is a famous general of our Tang Dynasty, and the father and brother of San Niangzi were all strong generals who survived the siege of the Turkic people last year, and Li De Award, who was born as a ranger and has sword skills Gao Chao, you are still a disciple of the abbot of Louguan, are you afraid that they will kill you if you say this?"

Dou Lu Huairang couldn't help but shut up.

Speaking of which, Doulu's family is not as powerful as Li's.

He smacked his lips, "Then you didn't eat mutton, and you got yourself into trouble, it's a loss, it's a big loss."

"Don't talk about it, I think this matter is rumored and made up in the market. Li Sanniang's identity is just that she didn't treat me as an outsider, so it was fabricated."

"Then what are you running for?"

One sentence left Wu Huaiyu speechless.

Dou Lu Huairang's next words left Huaiyu speechless, "If she really has that heart, it's useless for you to run away, won't she come after her?"
