A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 389

Wu Huaiyu took the initiative to visit Tan Guogong's mansion.

Before the Qiu family visited the Wu family several times, Wu Huaiyu failed to find any reason, but this time he took the initiative to visit, and specially prepared several carts of gifts, ten Silla maidservants, ten Bodhisattvas, and ten Turkic horses Ten Western Region horses.

Although Qiu Xinggong didn't say how much he helped him this time, the attitude he showed is still very grateful.

What's more, the emperor gave Qiu's daughter as his concubine before, but he still used the excuse of being busy and didn't come to pick her up. Now that it's almost Chinese New Year, it can't be delayed until the new year.

What's more, the Qiu family showed their great abilities this time. Du Jingai asked a fortune teller to fabricate and spread the prophecy that Huaiyu's eldest daughter, with dragon eyes and phoenix neck, must be the heroine of the world. Wu Huaiyu didn't even know about this. With such a powerful relationship between the six doors, Zhang Liang, Gao Huitong, An Yuanshou, Li De, Li Wujie, and others are all one step behind the Qiu family.

The day before, he had asked someone to send a post saying that he would come to visit today.

When Huaiyu arrived, the Qiu family also specially waited early.

Father Qiu, Tan Guogongqiu, and his eldest son Gongqiu Xingze of Meicheng County, second son Gongqiu Xinggong of Tianshui County, fifteen sons including Gongqiu Xingmian of Ruanling County, and a group of grandchildren greeted them together.

This scene is very grand.

He even opened the door of Qiu's house to welcome him.

Seeing this posture, Huaiyu was even a little embarrassed.

Because of the conflict between him and Qiu Xinggong before, Qiu and the fifteen sons, five county princes and ten county princes were involved in the end, and ten county princes and one county prince were directly kicked out.

Now Qiu Xinggong has directly recovered the title of county duke, but the title of county marquis of his ten younger brothers has not been restored.

But Mr. Qiu still brought fifteen sons and dozens of grandchildren, no matter how big or small, all the men in the family went to the gate to greet him.

Huaiyu was really embarrassed to see her enthusiastic smiling face.

Chang'an has done its best to be ruthless.

Chai Shao's younger brother was killed, his son was exiled, and he was dismissed from his post. He was still able to toast Wu Huaiyu to make amends, and even took the initiative to pay a large sum of money to the slaves and servants in the fields and houses to compensate.

This Qiu family is also powerful.

Last time Huaiyu also had a big fall, and finally got her two daughters in, but they didn't say a word, and the Wu family came to help in an accident, and now they are so grandly welcomed.

In comparison, Wu Huaiyu looked a little tender after all.

It's not enough to cultivate.

This reminded him of the idiom about self-doubt. The protagonist of the story is the relationship between Lou Shide, the Prime Minister of Empress Wu Zetian of the Tang Dynasty, and his younger brother.

Mr. Lou's motto is peace is the most important thing.

He went to court with Yushi Zhongcheng Li Zhaode, and was scolded by Li Zhaode as a country bumpkin because he was fat and slow to walk, but he smiled and said, I am not a country bumpkin, who is a country bumpkin.

Lou Shide later recommended Di Renjie to worship the prime minister. After Di Renjie became the prime minister, he didn't know that it was Lou Shide who recommended him. De never cared, and never even said that he recommended him as a prime minister.

Lou Shide's younger brother is going to be the governor of Daizhou. He said that I am the prime minister and you are the governor. What if someone thinks you are greedy for glory and pretends to be favored, so they are jealous and frame you?
His younger brother said, brother, don’t worry, if someone spits on my face, I won’t retaliate, I just wipe off the saliva.

But Lou Shide said, brother, you are too young. When others spit on you, they are dissatisfied with you, angry, or have opinions. You wiped off the saliva, which is to expose your dissatisfaction with others and the suspicion of harboring a grudge , which will only arouse the anger of others.

Not only can you not wipe the spittle off, but you should accept it with a smile and let the spittle dry off your face.

What a cruel state this is.

Therefore, it is said that there were ruthless people in the Tang Dynasty, and each one was more ruthless than the other, that is a tradition.

Don't look at Qiu He's age now, but Qiu He, who was born in Xianbei, has gone through several dynasties. When he was young, he was also a hero. He was also a famous hero in the old Chang'an city. Master Chai Lun, Duan and others are all juniors among younger generations, younger brothers among younger generations.

In his life, he went through four dynasties and went out of town to seven counties.

Qiu He is very good at communication. Anyway, no matter if he is a foolish ruler or a wise ruler, or a treacherous and loyal minister, he can make friends and get along very well. He even went out of the town to the seven counties, and he is very impressive in every place. .

A horse can secure the country, and a horse can rule the country.

He can not only make friends with the powerful minister Yu Wenshu to seek an official title for himself, but also can report and betray Yuan Wei to make meritorious service. Even Yang Guang, who is difficult to serve, can make him always praise him. I am very appreciative of Qiu He, this is not an ordinary skill.

Anyway, when the old man met, he would hold Huaiyu's hand and be as affectionate as he was with his own son. It didn't feel like meeting him for the first time.

Grabbing his hand from the gate, all the way into the mansion to the hall, and pulling him to sit on the same couch, but she didn't intend to let go.

"I'm 77 this year, but I can still drink three buckets of wine and eat several catties of mutton at a time. But it's not as good as your fourth uncle, who can take several concubines a year. I heard that he gave birth to four more children this year?

I'm really envious, everyone said that the county magistrate of Xuancheng ate your prescription, Erlang, you have to prescribe some for me, I also want to live in spring again. "

The old man is very interesting, and he has a natural feeling of closeness and acquaintance.

An old house where a treasure.

Qiu He went to that one, with fifteen sons and a bunch of grandchildren, all very honest, which was completely different from the rumored impression that the Qiu family was very domineering.

Especially Qiu Xinggong, even in front of the emperor, this guy seemed a little presumptuous, but in front of Qiu He, he sat upright with a serious face like a primary school student.

This is completely different from the Qiu Xinggong in Wu Huaiyu's impression.

This guy seems to change his face.

When he was in Lingzhou, he was domineering and domineering. He didn't look down on the governor Xue Wanche, and didn't take the long history Wu Huaiyu seriously. The eldest son of the family was killed in the street, and his kidneys were roasted, but he still joined the army at the seventh rank of Lingzhou.

Before that, in the Yamen of Yongzhou and in the palace, he was another two faces.

Now it's another face.

It's a pity that this old boy doesn't learn Sichuan opera to change his face. Before Huaiyu thought that this guy was yelling at him in Lingzhou, but he was very close when he was in Chang'an. At that time, he admired his thick skin. Now it seems that this is someone else. Basic skills.

Wu Huaiyu recalled what the warrior Xun said to Qiu He before, "You can bow your horse when you are young, but you can be a hero. When you are old, you will start to break the knot, and you will not disobey anything, and you will love him regardless of whether you are high or low."

The realm is getting higher and higher.

Now 77, it is estimated that he has become a human being.

To grow old and not die is to be a thief, indeed a thief, too transparent.

When young people may still be struggling with face, dignity, and liking these things, Qiu He of 77 has already seen through everything.

Tan Guogong's mansion is quite luxurious.

There is also a carved treasure wall in the living room, with a horizontal window, decorated with miscellaneous treasures and crimson gauze.

Huaiyu seemed to hear a woman's laughter behind the horizontal window on the treasure wall.

Qiu He said with a smile, "These girls are too unreserved, let's not hide it from Erlang, behind this window are the two girls who are going to be sent to the Wu family as concubines, I heard that Erlang is coming, so I came here to steal Look, I made Erlang laugh."

When Wu Huaiyu heard this, he suddenly thought of another rumor about the Qiu family.

It is said that after Tan Guogong Qiu He returned to the Tang Dynasty, he paid homage to General Zuo Wuhou Shangzhu Kingdom. Qiu He invited him to return to his hometown because of his old age. Li Yuan specially set up a few martial arts counties in his hometown of martial arts, and set up a special Jizhou for Qiu He. And as a governor in his hometown for the elderly.

From the five years of Wude's entry into the court, to the six years of Wude's return to his hometown of martial arts, he basically did martial arts and rarely stayed in the capital.

Every year around the New Year, I will go to Beijing Chaoji to stay for a period of time.

It is said that no matter whether Qiu He is in Beijing, the house he lives in will have a precious wall flower window in the living room. If there are noble children or young scholars coming to visit, Qiu He will arrange for his daughter and granddaughter to watch from behind the flower window.

If there is someone he likes, Qiu He will take the initiative to propose marriage.

When Qiuhe was the prefect of Jiaozhi County, Gao Shilian was demoted to Jiaozhi County. When he came to visit, he let his daughters watch from behind the flower window. One daughter liked Gao Shilian, so Qiu He took the initiative to give the daughter to Gao Shilian. For a concubine.

Even the eldest grandson Wuji later accepted Qiu Xinggong's eldest daughter as concubine, in fact, when he came to visit Qiu He, Qiu Xinggong's daughter chose him behind the flower window.

Qiu He has many sons, many daughters, and many grandchildren.

The rumors of Qiu Jiabao's selection of a son-in-law are quite widespread. Anyway, the Qiu family's marriage is very fierce, and the in-laws are all over the government and the public.

Gao Shilian, grandson Wuji, even Yan Lide, Yan Liben and so on.

The noble ones are prime ministers, and some young ones are only students of the Imperial College.

Baochuang's method of selecting a son-in-law is quite good, quite open-minded.

After all, even if it is a political marriage between the nobles, in this way, the women can choose by themselves, and whoever they fancy will marry, it is still their own choice.

"The girls are smiling so happily, they are probably very satisfied, why not let them come out to meet Erlang," Qiu He said with a smile.

Huaiyu didn't refuse either, anyway, this marriage is unlikely to be repeated, and I came here today to talk about it, to choose an auspicious day, and to pick up someone before the end of the year.

Behind the treasure window, there are not only Qiu Xinggong's direct daughter, but also Qiu Xingze's concubine daughter, and a bunch of girls from the Qiu family, who all want to see their husbands and sons-in-law, and also want to see such a famous man in Chang'an. After all, Wu Qingyang is too much.

But listening to their laughter, it can be seen that they should be quite satisfied. After all, Wu Huaiyu's skin is really good. He is young and holds an important position. He is a high-ranking official, and his temperament has improved a lot.

Mound and clap.

"Nier, come out."

Ever since, the two sisters of the Qiu family turned out together to pay a visit.

Don't look at the Qiu family's father and son, who are tall and burly, with full beards and leopard heads with round eyes, but the girls in her family are all pretty good-looking, especially the legs are so long, even the single eyelids are not incompatible.

Perhaps it was because of the Hu-Han mixed blood of the Xianbei ethnic group, the tall and long-legged Qiu sisters were indeed somewhat beyond Huaiyu's expectations.

"I asked someone to read it. The day after tomorrow is a good day. On the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, everything will go well. Why not just the day after tomorrow."

Qiu He said.

"Okay, just follow Tan Guogong's arrangement." Huaiyu responded with a smile.

Laoqiu held Huaiyu's hand, "We will be a family from now on, and we don't need to be called Duke or General at home. If you want to show your status, you can call me Azu if you want, and Laoqiu if you don't. "

Huaiyu didn't feel that the old man was taking advantage of him. They gave him two granddaughters as concubines. After all, they were the daughters of their sons. Even though Qiu Xinggong was a concubine, he was also the Duke of Tianshui County and General Zuo Wuhou. .The eldest son, Qiu Xingze, is also the county magistrate and governor.

Given the status of the Qiu family, the two granddaughters should at least have married the governor's son-in-law, so there is no reason for them to be concubines.

Of course, it is different to judge Yi Guogong, Yongzhou Biejia and Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, who has sealed [-] households, as his concubine.

It's like Qiu Xinggong's eldest daughter is a concubine for the eldest grandson Wuji.

Wu Huaiyu and Changsun Wuji were married and married again. Previously, Changsun Wuji married his sons and daughters, and Wu Huaiyu's second son was engaged to the seventh daughter of Changsun Wuji. Now Huaiyu and Wuji have married Qiu Xinggong's daughter For my wife, I became a brother-in-law again.

Sure enough, the nobles were all relatives.

The living room of the Qiu family had a harmonious atmosphere, and no one would mention that Wu Huaiyu offended Jingzhao Wei Du and Shandong Cui Zheng on this occasion, even though Wei Du and Cui Zheng were actually in-laws of the Qiu family.

Wu Huaiyu was able to offend Wei Du and Cui Zheng at the same time with his own strength, that's a skill, brothers Qiu and Gong were worried, but old man Qiu bluntly said that his sons were too young.

The 20-year-old six-hundred-year-old Shifeng Yi Guogong was able to retreat under the conspiracy of these families, and even got promoted. On the contrary, those families, the eldest son of the former prime minister, died. The brother-in-law of a great general's son-in-law took away a country duke, three county dukes, and demoted several famous families.

This is the Holy Family Zhenglong.

Right now, it's red and purple, so there's nothing to worry about.
