A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 779
After the Dragon Boat Festival.

In the romantic Pingkangfang of Chang'an, a shocking news suddenly came out, which caught people off guard, especially those who liked the young master of Pingkangfang and felt heartbroken.

Nie Yinniang and Gongsun Sanniang of Nanqu declared themselves good at the same time.

Pingkangfang is a prosperous place where King Wu of Chang'an couldn't help but call it the Golden Grotto. It is the most desired place in the hearts of all Chang'an men. Even a peddler and a gangster named Pier Lifu would think of spending a night in Beiqu if he had two coins in his hand. .

As for Zhongqu and Nanqu, the rates there are more expensive, but they can also bring unimaginable satisfaction.

The two flowers of Nanqu, they are both beauties who are good at sword dancing, proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and good at hosting banquets. They are very familiar with the wine order. Just when they are blooming, they suddenly want to be good. .

Men are all cheap, they like to drag good families into trouble and persuade prostitutes to be good.

But no one wants to see the concubine they like, Congliang, with another man.

"Who?"

"Who abducted these two golden flowers from Pingkangfang."

Some people compare Nie Yinniang to jasmine. Snow-white jasmine is elegant and pure.

They compared Gongsun Sanniang to a rose. The bright red rose is fiery, bold, and thorny.

Now someone picked both flowers at once.

"Is it Shiba Erlang?"

"Or Fang Erlang?"

Everyone was talking about it. During this period, the two would-be princes-in-law were jealous of each other in Nanqu, Pingkangfang. It was said that they were fighting over these two beauties. First, Gongsun Sanniang, and then Nie Yinniang. They fought so hard that they even got into a fight after drinking in Nanqu. .

"It should be impossible. Although those two are extremely expensive, they are young after all, and they are both the sons-in-law chosen by the saints. They are the future princes-in-law. Even if they have this intention, I am afraid they don't have the courage to redeem their lives and accept them. As a concubine, why don’t you bring them in?”

"That's right, the seventh princess and the seventeenth princess, although they are still young, I heard they are extraordinary."

The seventh princess, Princess Baling, and the seventeenth princess, Princess Gaoyang, the two emperor's daughters are still young, but they are said to be somewhat overbearing and arrogant.

If you dare to take a brothel girl as a concubine, aren't you afraid of being beaten to death?
"Perhaps she redeemed herself and became a housewife."

This kind of thing is not impossible. Fang Yiai and Chai Lingwu are also top-notch nobles. They cannot bring them home openly, but they can still hide their darlings in the outer golden house.

Just when everyone is hotly discussing and speculating,

Zuo Pushe Fang Xuanling's son Fang Yiai also heard the rumor and was furious, "You are so angry that you can kill me. Chai Er'an dares to bully me like this."

He immediately called his attendants and rushed out angrily. When he arrived near Duke Qiao's mansion, he asked someone to take a post and ask Chai Er to meet him at the polo ground next door.

Chai Lingwu over there also heard the rumors and thought that because his father was the prime minister, Fang Er took the love of the two beauties and kept them in the golden house.

He was also very angry. After receiving the post, he scolded others for being too bullying. He also picked up the polo stick, got on his horse and led the team to the stadium.

When the two young men met on the court, they were extremely jealous.

"You dog slave, how dare you take away my beauty by such cruel means."

"You thief, you still dare to come and see me."

The two sides were at war with each other and almost started fighting.

Fortunately, the two men also had smart people, and they quickly discovered that something was wrong.

"Didn't you redeem Nie Yinniang and Gongsun Sanniang?"

"Isn't it you?"

After a long time, the two squatted together and felt very depressed.

"It's not you, it's not me, then who the hell dares to steal love from us?"

The matter is not difficult to find out,
Although the two popular girls became good friends, their fake mothers were still engaged in the industry, and the monk was still there after running away from the temple. The two led a large group of people into Nanqu, Pingkangfang, and soon found out the truth.

Nie Yinniang was ransomed by Sima Chensheng of the Guangzhou Dudu Mansion, while Gongsun Sanniang became a slave to Li Dexian, the general of the left guard.

"Who is Chen Sheng?"

The two young masters were at a loss for a while, but they quickly told the truth, "Chen Sheng was a former slave of Li Jing's family and a follower of Li Dejiang. Later, Wu Huaiyu took his sister as a concubine, and the brothers Chen Sheng and Chen Xing followed Wu Huaiyu. He has made some military achievements in Longyou Shuofang and other places, and has Wu Huaiyu as his backer. Now he is Sima Guangzhou. He came to Beijing on business some time ago and has not returned to Lingnan..."

"Dog slave!"

The two of them scolded together, their eyes full of disdain. Chen Sheng's status was really unacceptable to them. A real bitch. When they thought that the beautiful actress they liked was actually redeemed as a concubine by such a bitch, they were so angry. Feeling insulted.

"Is the thief worthy?"

Li Dejiang was no stranger to them. After all, he was also a noble son. Although Li Jing had always been just a county prince during the Wude Dynasty, his official position was not low and his prestige in the military was also high. Moreover, although Li Jing's family had not fallen behind during the Sui Dynasty, they were also dignified in Longxi. The Li family's Danyang family members, several generations ago, are also relatives of the fifth generation of the current royal family.

Li Dejiang is much older than Chai Erfanger and the others. They are not of the same generation, and they could not play together before. However, Li Dejiang is still quite famous among the aristocratic children. He always wanted to be a hero in his early years, and now his official career is very good. , reaching the fourth rank, he has been rising all the way, rising almost every year.

"What do you mean by this Li De Award? Is this a deliberate attempt to steal love and make us sick?" Fang Er asked Chai Er. Who doesn't know about the recent jealousy between the two of the two beauties?

Li Dejiang suddenly stabbed him, he was not very particular about his work.

Of course, what makes them even more uncomfortable is that Chen Sheng, that bitch slave, dares to take a stand?

"I always feel that this matter is not that simple. We have fought so fiercely before, who doesn't know? This Li De Award master and servant are doing this, and it feels like they are deliberately targeting us."

Chai Lingwu had a gloomy face,
Although the two of them are young, they have already become famous in Chang'an's dandy circles in the past two years. When have they ever experienced this kind of anger?

"Let's find that dog slave Chen Sheng first and snatch Nie Yinniang back,"

"Okay, let's get rid of the people and find the dog slave first."

······
Chen Sheng redeemed people very quickly. The price offered by the fake mother Nie was quite high, but after all she was just a musician. Although she was worth a lot, the fake mother did not dare to say anything for the sake of the Wu family. The price Fairly reasonable.

Mr. Nie wants one thousand bolts of silk and two hundred guan of money.

Chen Sheng didn't bargain and readily agreed with 20 yuan. Nie Yinniang was even more happy and had no nostalgia for Nanqu's past, even though she had lived here for ten years.

She didn't even take away her jewelry, etc.
She only wore one set of clothes and no extra jewelry. She kept the pair of pearl earrings that Chen Sheng gave her and took away the bottle of jasmine perfume. The rest was left to her fake mother.

After taking the slave deed, she went to Wannian County to change it. Chen Sheng gave her a concubine deed, and then let her be added to his household registration.

After completing the formalities, Chen Sheng took her to the Wu family of the Duke of Wujin in Xuanyang.

The two went to Chen Sheng's sister Runniang courtyard.

In Runniang's courtyard,

A son and a daughter were playing, and Runniang was sitting on the porch, flipping through the account books, and playing beads on the abacus quickly with her fingers.

Wu Huaiyu’s first concubine was once Li Sanniang’s personal maid, and now she is also graceful and elegant.
But she didn't sit idle and pampered. She always took care of the family's accounts and managed them very well. The eldest lady, Mrs. Fan Xuanfu of Jin State, also always trusted her.
"Little sister, this is Yinniang, brother Xina's concubine. I want her to stay with you for a while."

Chen Sheng brought Nie Yinniang over. He first gave two small gifts to his nephew and niece, then a malt man, and then an ivory abacus to Runniang.

Runniang stopped what she was doing and looked at Nie Yinniang.

"You asked me for two hundred dollars this morning because of her?"

"Well, she was originally from Nanqu, Pingkangfang. I'll redeem her with two hundred guan."

The two brothers and sisters are not that talented. Of course, Chen Sheng is not short of two hundred dollars. After all, he is now a high-ranking fifth-grade man wearing a scarlet robe. Starting from Longyou, he followed Huaiyu and began to participate in some industries in Yanjingzhai. In these years, he made salt in Longyou, sold sheep in Shuofang, and mined in Lingnan. He hitchhiked and operated everywhere, and he also made a small fortune.
Asking Runniang to get the money saves you the trouble of getting it back, and you can pay it back later.

Runniang asked a few questions, but she didn't dislike Nie Yinniang's identity. Instead, she felt a little sorry for her. After all, she herself was once a slave and was very humble.

After saying a few words, she was arranged to rest in the guest room.

The brother and sister sat down to drink tea.
Chen Sheng didn't hide it at this time. It wasn't that he fell in love at first sight and then wanted to redeem himself and take a concubine, nor was he obsessed with her.

"I see,"

"But from what you said, this Yinniang is not simple. But since she chose to be with you and you are willing to take a concubine, that's okay. Just treat her well in the future."

Chen Sheng drank tea, looked at the account books on his sister's table, and then looked at the two children.

"Erlang may not be able to return to Chang'an for a while. Have you ever thought about taking your two children to Lingnan? If my affairs are settled, I will go back to Lingnan. If you are willing to go, we can go together. I will take care of you on the way. You guys, ensure safety and send your mother to Erlang."

Runniang held the tea cup,

"It's been a year and a half since we said goodbye. The children are growing up day by day. I miss Erlang so much,"

"Then go to Lingnan. There's no point in staying in Chang'an every day. You're not the first wife and you don't have many children. It's okay to go to Lingnan."

"There is no caring person around Alang to take care of him,"

Forresta went to Lingnan with her, but now she gave birth to twins, and she couldn't take care of them, so how could she care about Huaiyu.

Chen Sheng smiled and told his sister that she should seize this opportunity to go to Lingnan and stay with Huaiyu, just in time to have a few more children.

"The Lingnan side is actually not bad. It's a hot spot in summer and there are more mosquitoes, but it's not that scary."

Chen Sheng felt that it was meaningless for his sister to stay in Chang'an as a widow at such an advanced age.

Chen Runniang was a little moved, but also a little hesitant.
"I'll go talk to my wife later, and then I'll write to Erlang again."

"There is no need to hesitate. Let me tell you, things in Lingnan may not end in a year or two. It is even possible that Huaiyu will stay in Lingnan for another three to five years. You'd better take your children to Lingnan to reunite."

Chen Runniang looked at her children playing, and she really wanted to conceive Yu. Her second daughter, Shi Niang, was getting older, so it was time for Huai Yu to have more children.

Thinking about it, I couldn't help but smile.
