A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 364

Tang people really love to eat mutton.

Pei Yunu got up early and specially ordered the kitchen to slaughter a lamb for Huaiyu and the others, stewed a pot of lamb, and the lamb soup with flax cake in the morning was really a perfect match.

The soup is delicious.

The three of them didn't sleep well last night, one of them made two big bowls of mutton soup, and then ate several Hubing, which were delicious and went to court.

Just about to go out, but a guest came to visit early in the morning.

Xu Jingzong's wife, Mrs. Pei, brought her son Xu Ang, Xu Yu, Xu Min, Xu Gao, Xu Jing, and several daughters to visit together. They didn't send any post in advance, which was a bit abrupt.

"Yesterday, a decree has been issued by Zhongshu's sect. My family, Alang, will soon be called back to the court to serve as Shizhong, and also to study national history." Speaking of this, this Mrs. Pei was very excited.

Xu Jingzong was very unlucky last year. The other emperors' former residences and old offices were all rising steadily. Only Xu Jingzong was demoted to the Military Supervisor and then to the Xunyang County.

For more than a year, they stayed in the capital, and they also felt the coldness of the world, and there were few cars and horses in front of the door. However, when Wu Huaiyu was in Beijing, he would often send people New Year's Day gifts, and even after leaving Beijing, he did not forget the four seasons.

Now it is the Golden Palace to help her husband return to court.

Not only did he come back, but he was also promoted to an important position all of a sudden.

After yesterday's decree, the front of Xu's house became lively again, and many people came to congratulate and give gifts again, which made Mrs. Pei very emotional.

So this morning, I didn't care about being rude, and I still brought my children and brought many gifts to express my gratitude.

"Sister-in-law, why should you be so polite? Our two families are very good. Brother Xu is very talented. I will definitely help if I can."

Mrs. Pei asked her sons and daughters to come and thank Huaiyu.

Mrs. Pei was born in a famous family in Hedong, and she was only in her early thirties. She was also very beautiful, with a special temperament. Even the maidservant Mrs. Yu beside her was also young and beautiful.

Her own sons and daughters, as well as the concubines, all grew up very well.

His eldest son, Xu Ang, spoke quite well, and even took out a few poems he wrote, asking Huaiyu to correct him. Mrs. Pei smiled and said that he and his second son, Xu Jing, would worship Huaiyu as their teacher. The eldest son is young and capable of writing poetry, while the second son is taller and taller, but he is good at riding and shooting. It is said that he can hit a target with a hundred steps at a young age.

Huaiyu remembers that Xu Jingzong had many children in history. He was more lustful, married wives and concubines, and the children he had were all good-looking, but he was neglected in education, and Pei died early, so the eldest son actually married his father's concubine. The Shi Yu family had an affair, and Xu Jingzong angrily reported his son and exiled him to Lingnan.

The second son of the first son later took the road of military commander, became General You Yulin, and was brother-in-law with one of Qin Qiong's sons, and both married Yu Chigong's granddaughter, and Xu Jingzong's daughters were all married to some dignitaries, but Because Xu Jingzong loves money, he married his daughter to the son of Feng An in Lingnan, who was looked down upon by the famous nobles, and the son of Qian Jiulong, the prince of the state who was born as a royal slave, for a high betrothal gift.

"Okay, I'll come over when I'm free." Huaiyu didn't refuse Xu Ang and Xu Jing's worship of him as a teacher.

Mrs. Pei was very excited, Wu Huaiyu is not only favored now, but also famous all over the world, his sons worship him as a teacher, that is also very beneficial.

Delighted, Mrs. Pei pushed the beautiful maid Yu beside her to her, saying that she would give it to Huaiyu. Among the gifts she prepared today, besides money and silk, there were also horse slaves.

"This servant boy is still pretty and young, please take him in, Lord Yi."

Huaiyu suspected that this maidservant was the Yu family whom Xu Jingzong and his father fought over later. It is said that her surname was Pei, and she was a slave born to Pei's family. Xu Jingzong liked her very much. It is not possible to take a slave as a concubine.

Xu Jingzong then asked her to change her surname to Yu, and forged her identity as a concubine, but who knew that her eldest son Xu Ang also liked the Yu family, and had secretly had an affair with her for a long time. Xu wore a shiny green hat, which made old Xu kill him, even though his son was already the prince's servant and had a bright future, he didn't show mercy.

The current Yu family is still surnamed Pei, and she still looks a little immature, but she is indeed naturally beautiful, with apricot eyes, goose face, fair skin, black hair, especially a slender waist and long legs, and two small dimples on her face.

Huai Yu deliberately observed Xu Ang's reaction, and found that when the boy heard that his mother was going to give Pei away, his expression was obviously unnatural.

Seeing that there is indeed a difference in age between the two, they are both young and young in their teens. Could it be that this kid has already started having an affair with his mother's personal maid? start?
After all, it is not a good thing for a son to have an affair with his mother's personal maid, and the general family would not allow it. Although most of them will arrange some maids for their children in advance, they are also carefully selected, and they will never directly treat their mother. The handmaid gave it to her son.

Huaiyu didn't want to wade into this muddy water.

But Mrs. Pei insisted on keeping the girl, even with a bit of pleading, which made Huaiyu more serious.

Maybe it was because Huaiyu's gaze was going back and forth between Xu Ang and the maidservant Xingnu, and he felt that he might have noticed something, so he said, "This maidservant is only fourteen this year, and she is still a girl with yellow flowers."

Huaiyu looked at Xu Ang and asked with a smile, "I don't know what Da Lang wants?"

Xu Ang looked at his mother, then looked at Pei Xingnu, although he felt a little bit reluctant, after all, he was young, so in the end he had no choice but to obey his mother, "Our Xu family is grateful for the help of Yi Guogong, Xingnu is a good girl, please Yi Guo Be kind to me in the future."

Huaiyu said, "Will Dalang not stay?"

Xu Ang shook his head,

Pei Xingnu's eyes were a little lost. Maybe the two of them just had a love for the first time, or maybe this so-called love might just be that the young but smart Pei Xingnu deliberately wanted to date the eldest son. After all, she was just a domestic slave. If he can be favored by the eldest son, he can at least be a concubine in the future.

Now the eldest lady is going to give her away, and Da Lang has no intention of keeping her, which inevitably makes her feel disappointed and even shocked.

But this emotion did not last. Her eyes quickly and quietly fell on Wu Huaiyu, the Duke of Yi. He was young, handsome, talented, and held a high position. He was the favorite of the emperor. Xu Ang, who is in his teens, is more attractive and has a higher status.

This is a bit of a blessing in disguise.

So, in the end, Pei Xingnu was no longer disappointed, but a little happy, and took the initiative to bow down to Huaiyu and salute.

"In this case, it is better to obey than to be respectful, thank you sister-in-law."

Huaiyu asked Pei Yunu to come over and bring Pei Xingnu into the mansion, and he will follow her from now on. As for her status, she is only Wu Huaiyu's maidservant for the time being.

Pei asked Xu Ang and Xu Jing to come forward to salute Huaiyu and call the teacher, and said that after Xu Jingzong came back, he would formally pay homage to his teacher.

Gaoyang Xu family, Hedong Pei family, two well-known families, Xu Jingzong turned salty fish this time, it can be predicted that based on the background of these two families, Xu Jingzong is going to stand out.
