Early Tang Dynasty: forge ahead

Chapter 35 Why don't you go to heaven?
Chen Qingsi and his wedding party stayed one night at an inn in Wujin County.

The Xiao clan's land is not in the county town, but is located in the north of the county town, near the Meng River.

It was not far from the county seat. Because of the auspicious timing, Chen Qingsi did not set out immediately. Instead, he read for a while and practiced swordplay for a while.After having a meal under Xiao Anjie's arrangement, he also took a special bath and put on a bright red wedding dress before setting off for the Xiao clan's land.

Xiao Anjie still arranged everything calmly, but his reluctance to get close remained the same.

The wedding team left the inn and headed north along the street.

Wujin County is very prosperous, with many pedestrians passing by.

Faced with the wedding procession, pedestrians unanimously give up the center of the street. Giving way to weddings is an unwritten rule in the world.

Chen Qingsi looked at a market facing the street in front of her, and got off the pony with some careful control.

The colt was rented from the county. It had a docile temperament and was very cooperative during the ride.However, Chen Qingsi's own riding skills are limited, so he is inevitably cautious in this crowded place.

The marriage of the legitimate daughter of the Xiao family in Lanling was considered a big event in Wujin County, and was discussed in low voices on both sides of the street.

At this time, many children squeezed out of the crowd, holding paper pinwheels in their hands and jumping up and down singing songs.

"The beautiful lady of the Xiao family in Lanling fell from a high tree and transformed from a peasant, a talented girl into a peasant wife, always accompanied by poultry and livestock!"

The young voice is brisk and powerful, and every word can be said to be heartbreaking.

Inevitably, there were chuckles from all around, and the songs sung into the hearts of some people.

Xiao Anjie's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly called for people to drive away the children.

But Chen Qingsi smiled and held him back, saying, "Don't embarrass the child, it's just innocence being exploited by Xiaoxiao."

He thought to himself: "It's not wrong to say that Meijiaoniang came from a peasant family. In order to make a living, I, Chen Qingsi, not only worked as a farmer, but also hunted and served as a soldier. I have nothing to hide. I don’t think it’s a shame! My parents gave me birth and raised me, which is a blessing from heaven, and I can’t repay it. If I belittle myself, isn’t it the same as blaming them? How is this different from animals?”

Xiao Anjie was slightly moved when he heard this and said, "Brother Chen is absolutely right."

"But..." Chen Qingsi's tone changed: "The first sentence is correct, but the second sentence is not necessarily true. Let's go..."

He rode his horse away, whips crackling, and an ear-splitting sound could be heard in the air: "The roc rises with the wind in one day, and it can be blown up ninety thousand miles. If the wind stops and comes down, it can still shake away the water." . When people see me, they all sneer when they hear Yu’s words. Father Xuan is still afraid of future generations, but his husband must not be young. Haha..."

Xiao Anjie was stunned at first, with shock in his eyes, and then laughed together: "A good father can still be afraid of future generations, and his husband must not be young. Brother Chen, wait for me!"

The wedding team gradually faded away.

The discussion among the crowd was even worse.

Some were discussing ballads, while others were discussing verses with deafening echoes.

In a restaurant facing the street, Cui Min held the folding fan in his hand tightly, his eyes were a little dull, and he muttered to himself: "One day the roc rises with the wind and swings up to ninety thousand miles, why doesn't it go to the sky?"

"Brother Cui!" Zheng Rong came out of nowhere, sat across from Cui Min, and said with a hint of ridicule: "Are you shooting yourself in the foot? Not only did you cause a lot of trouble, but you also made someone famous. "

Cui Min opened her fan coquettishly and said, "Brother Zheng, what do you mean? Can't you understand?"

Zheng Rong looked at him and said word by word: "Yesterday you took advantage of my admiration for the Xiao family's wife and angered me. Isn't it just for today to put the blame on me?" Cui Min bowed in unison and sighed: "Cui You act openly and aboveboard, how could you do such villainous behavior. Brother Zheng, please don’t accuse me unjustly."

He paused and said, "Brother Zheng really didn't do this?"

Zheng Rong said angrily: "I don't even bother to do this."

Cui Min stopped asking and fanned vigorously, with a serious expression: "I thought I could watch Mr. Xiao's joke and be happy. But I didn't want to see such a situation. This Chen Qingsi is really a variable..."

Zheng Rong felt very uncomfortable. He originally wanted to see a joke, but the joke seemed to be his own. He said, "It's just some poetic talent. How can it be great? We have thousands of years of foundation. Why do we care about one more farmer?"

**********
Xiao Anjie caught up with Chen Qingsi from behind, bowed and said, "I just asked those children, and they said that a richly dressed nobleman with a jade pendant taught them how to sing, and the reward was just a few pieces of horseshoe cake. "

Chen Qingsi did not answer, but asked: "Are you not embarrassing them?"

Xiao Anjie shook his head: "No, they were all returned to their families." He paused and said, "This matter is due to my negligence. I will give Brother Chen an explanation."

"No need!" Chen Qingsi said: "There is no need to investigate, and it is not easy to investigate. Is it possible that a noble man with gorgeous clothes and jade would arrest and interrogate those people as if they were prisoners? If you are so intolerable, they will not dare to do it. . Anyway, the investigation and investigation are all done by those five families, just identify them and conspire together, why bother."

He did not doubt that it was the Xiao family. The Xiao family could assassinate him, but would not do such a thing that would harm the reputation of the Xiao family.

This incident clearly showed that the five families wanted to see Xiao's joke.

As for myself, how could those people care?
Xiao Anjie heard what Chen Qingsi said was true, and thinking about the recent experiences of the Xiao family, he couldn't help but cursed: "Idiot, he made a mistake."

The idiot in his mouth refers to Concubine Xiao Shu.

It turned out that Xiao Deyan, the emperor's uncle, was Li Zhi's mentor. When Li Zhi was the king of Jin, he was responsible for teaching scriptures to him.Li Zhi became the prince of the East Palace and still served as the prince's attendant.After Li Zhi succeeded to the throne, he thanked his teacher for his kindness and added the title of Doctor Qingguanglu.

Under Xiao Deyan's influence and planning, Li Zhi reached a tacit agreement with the Lanling Xiao family to deal with Guan Longxungui and the Guandong gentry together.

Xiao Deyan's move put a lot of pressure on the Guandong nobles.

The Guandong nobles have always looked down upon the Jiangnan nobles, but they suppressed and excluded them in all aspects. Could it be that the Jiangnan nobles could threaten them?
The interests are only so small, and the five surnames cannot fight among themselves. If Xiao Deyan succeeds, and Concubine Xiao Shu takes the position of queen, the Guandong nobles can only drink some soup!

So what Xiao Shufei is holding is the Queen's script...

Some people can take the high road without a script, while some people have a script for her to act in, but they don't have the ability to act well.

Concubine Xiao Shu's mysterious operation was harmed, and the situation that the Lanling Xiao family had planned for many years collapsed.

The Kanto nobles heaved a sigh of relief, and naturally took pleasure in watching the hilarious joke.

It was also because of this that there was a lot of conflict between the imperial uncle's house and the Qiliang house within the Lanling Xiao family.

This is also the reason why Xiao Anjie has always been alienated from Chen Qingsi.

Chen Qingsi didn't know who the idiot Xiao Anjie was talking about, and she wasn't interested in knowing. She just made a note in her little notebook.

　Brothers, if you have a ticket, please support it, thank you!
