Rebirth of the Tang Dynasty's strongest consort

Chapter 452 Fourth Brother Xue Li
As the shouting outside the house became louder and louder, Fang Yiai quickly put on her robe and was about to turn over and get off the ground when Ba Lin's deep voice rang out again.

"I don't dare." Hou Balin knew Fang Yiai's temper well, and he, who was afraid of angering his elder brother, wisely gave up at the critical moment, "Let's forget it."

"Cut, you have been making trouble for a long time, but you don't dare to do it." Yuchi Baolin muttered, pulled Cheng Chubi and Xue Rengui and said, "Let's go to the main hall to drink tea first."

As the footsteps gradually faded away, Fang Yiai breathed a sigh of relief, and cursed softly: "These boys are getting more and more unruly!"

"Brother Jun'er, have they left?" Gao Yang timidly poked his head out of the brocade quilt, his eyes flashed with fear, and asked in a low voice.

"Let's go, Shu'er will lie down first. I'll go to the main hall to entertain some brothers." After finishing speaking, Fang Yiai hurriedly washed up and walked out of the room.

In the main hall, Hou Balin was arguing endlessly with Yuchi Baolin. The content of the argument was naturally, who would dare to break into Fang Yiai's door.

"Ahem." Fang Yiai coughed a few times on purpose, then walked into the main hall, looked at Hou Balin and Yuchi Baolin, and said coldly, "Have you had enough trouble?"

"Brother." Seeing Fang Yiai's arrival, Hou Balin, Yuchi Baolin, and Cheng Chubi came forward to say hello, while Xue Rengui stood still, not knowing how to address Fang Yiai.

"Rengui, are you here?" Fang Yiai walked up to Xue Rengui with a smile, reached out and patted Xue Rengui on the shoulder, and said, "Are you used to living in Chang'an City?"

Xue Rengui bowed his hands and saluted. Right now, he is just a grassroots soldier. In the future, the "one-word side-by-side king" of Datang has not yet grown up, so he will naturally treat Fang Yiai with more courtesy. .”

Speaking of Fenhe Bay, Xue Rengui couldn't help thinking of his wife, "I just don't know how Yingchun is doing."

"What's the matter." As he said that, Fang Yiai said to the servant beside him, "Go to the guest room and call Master Fan."

After calling Fan Jin, Fang Yiai smiled and said, "Master Fan, please go there"

In the middle of speaking, Fang Yiai paused for a moment, pondered for a long time, and then continued: "Go around the Zhuangyuan Mansion and ask if there is any free mansion. If so, don't discuss with me, just get some from the mansion You can buy it with money.”

Fan Jin cupped his hands in response, "But I don't know what scale it is?"

"Hmm..." Fang Yiai looked at the front yard, then thought about the land prices around Zhuangyuan's mansion, and said in a deep voice, "At least a yard with two entrances and two exits."

"Okay, students will do it now." After Fan Jin left, Hou Balin and the others looked at Fang Yiai, and said that he was going to build a new house for Xie Yaohuan, with a slightly lonely expression on their faces, but they didn't say anything.

"Eh? Why do you look like this?" Sensing the change in the expression of the three of them, Fang Yiai asked puzzled.

The three looked at each other, but in the end Hou Balin couldn't bear his temper, and said, "Brother, sister-in-law treats you with deep affection, why did you move him to a foreign house?"

"Huh?" Fang Yiai was slightly taken aback, and then chuckled, "Who said I bought a house to open a foreign house? I bought it for Rengui."

The words came out, and Xue Rengui, who was standing there missing his wife, was startled at first, and then waved his hands again and again, "Captain, I can't help it, I."

"What can't be done, what can't be done!" Fang Yi thought lovingly, "In one house, you can be side by side with Yizi and worship brothers. This deal is too worthwhile!"

After being secretly happy, seeing Xue Rengui's refusal, Fang Yiai waved her hand and said to the maid standing beside her, "Go to the kitchen and ask the chef to make some banquets."

After giving the order, Fang Yiai invited the three of them to the second hall, and the five of them sat down side by side. After waiting for about a stick of incense, the dishes were served one after another.

Looking at the delicious dishes, Fang Yiai raised his glass and said, "Ba Lin, Bao Lin, Chu Bi, Ren Gui. Come, let the five of us have a drink."

Seeing Fang Yiai's words, he brought Xue Rengui up, Hou Balin frowned slightly, thinking, "Is he just a grassroots soldier? How can a dream be real!"

Although there was dissatisfaction in their hearts, the three of them raised their glasses and drank, with smiles on their faces, but whispered in their hearts.

"Xue Rengui is just a small soldier, why does the elder brother treat each other with such courtesy? He is buying a house, and he is called a brother!"

The three of them are the sons of the duke of the state, and they all grew up in the military camp. They are all proud and arrogant. If Fang Yiai hadn't subdued them at the beginning, they might not have looked up to them. Treated like this, the three of them naturally felt dissatisfied.

Seeing what the three of them were thinking from their expressions, Xue Rengui's face changed slightly, and he cupped his hands and said, "I'm just a pawn in a lowly position, I don't dare to be commensurate with the brothers of the governor, or"

"I am a pawn today, can I only be a pawn in this life?" Fang Yiai interrupted Xue Rengui with a raised hand, and continued: "Rengui, Ba Lin, you three also listen."

Fang Yiai cleared her throat, looked around the four people with apricot eyes, and murmured: "During the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, did Zhang Yi and Su Qin hear of it?"

"I've heard that Zhang Yi deceived Chu by using his three-inch tongue to win the emperor's heart." Yuchi Baolin murmured.

Hou Balin drank a glass of water and wine, nodded and said yes, "Su Qin carries the sword on his back. Among the hammering techniques I learned, there is a move named after Su Qin's allusion."

"That's it." Fang Yiai nodded with a smile, then changed the subject and brought the topic back to the main topic.

"In the past, when Zhang Yi was unsuccessful, he also traveled around the world and lived in poverty. I don't know how many times he was stared at and ridiculed. Later, he was appreciated by King Qin Huiwen and was named Prime Minister of Qin State. Gongsun Yan's strategy of joining forces. What's more, he went to Chu State alone, and with his three-inch tongue and six-mile fiefdom, he deceived King Huai of Chu and King Qi to sever their alliance, leaving behind the eternal good talk of the political and horizontal family."

After finishing speaking, Fang Yiai raised a cup and sipped tea, glanced at the four people who were listening mesmerized, and continued: "Su Qin's situation is even worse. Back then, he also traveled around the world just like Zhang Yi. Even his brothers and sisters-in-law came to humiliate him. But the hero’s fortunes come and go, and finally he was able to match the Prime Minister of the Six Kingdoms, and locked the Qin State’s master of hundreds of battles in Hangu. This kind of reputation has been around for thousands of years, how many people can deserve it?”

After telling the allusions of Zhang Yi and Su Qin, Fang Yiai continued: "Three heroes in the early Han Dynasty, Zhang Liang once picked up shoes for Huang Shigong. Prime Minister Xiao He was born as a subordinate official, and Han Xin, Marquis of Huaiyin, was even humiliated by his crotch. As far as this is concerned, Yingbo was only a prisoner in the army, but in the end he was among the three kings of the early Han Dynasty, and his name can go down in history."

After talking about the seniors in the Warring States Period, Qin and Han Dynasties, Fang Yiai changed the topic again, "Although Rengui was a small soldier at the time, it is not likely that he will not have the status of Yingbo and Han Xin in the future."

"Ah?" Xue Rengui was fascinated when he heard it, and it was only when Fang Yiai made such a high evaluation that he woke up like a dream, "Commander, I dare not be a villain."

"Hey! Don't call yourself that." Fang Yiai continued to talk eloquently, and simply got up and said, "Rengui, how old is this year?"

"I'm 19 years old." Xue Rengui's words were as thin as a mosquito's, obviously he had already guessed Fang Yiai's intention.

"[-] Nianhua, so you are the fourth younger brother." After finishing speaking, Fang Yiai walked to the open space, lifted her robe and knelt down, "Ba Lin, Chu Bi, Bao Lin, come and show your respect to the sky. "

When Fang Yiai mentioned the allusions about the sages before, the three of them slightly retracted their arrogance, but now seeing the eldest brother kneel down first, there is no reason to refuse.

When the four people knelt down one after another, Xue Rengui knelt down on the ground belatedly. Looking at the four people beside him, he felt extremely excited, "Yingchun, did you see that? Fang Dudu is kneeling with me."

"Father-in-law! Father-in-law! Did you see that? Your poor son-in-law is now worshiping the son of the current Duke."

"Fang Jun. Xue Rengui." After the five people reported their names, they said in unison: "I don't want to live together, but to die together. From now on, being close is like a brother, and it is better than being raised by one mother."

After speaking, the five kowtowed at the same time, and then stood up arm in arm.

Sitting back at the table again, Fang Yiai took the lead in toasting and said, "Fourth brother, brother Yu is one year older than you, and you are arrogant."

"Commander, brother, please. I respectfully drink a glass of brother." Xue Rengui raised his head and drank the wine, wishing he could gallop to Liujiazhuang immediately, and let his father-in-law, who hates the poor and loves the rich, take a look with his own eyes. The eldest brother is the top of the famous commoner list!

After three rounds of drinking and five flavors of food, Fang Yiai was happy for a while, and drank a few more glasses, because he drank with his sworn brothers, and he didn't bother to use his true energy to catalyze the alcohol, but he just carried it with his capacity for alcohol, and he lay on his stomach after a while. A deep sleep fell on the table.

Several people worked together to send Fang Yiai back to the main room, bid farewell to Gao Yang respectfully, and then walked out of Zhuangyuan Mansion side by side.

"Third brother, it's almost night. Tomorrow, are we going to escort the army rations?" Hou Balin hiccupped and asked Cheng Chubi.

Cheng Chubi's face was flushed, and his speech and breathing were full of alcohol, "Yes, let's set off early tomorrow morning."

"Do you want to tell Big Brother?" Yuchi Baolin scratched his head and asked.

"Hey! Brother just came back yesterday, can't you let him rest?" Hou Balin raised his hand impatiently, and continued: "Tomorrow the third brother will be in charge of the food and grass of the left guard army, and I will be in charge of the food and grass of the right guard army. Little Old Hei, just get some credit and escort him to the Long Live Chinese Army."

Hearing Hou Balin's suggestion, Cheng Chubi and Yuchi Baolin nodded in agreement, while Xue Rengui, who was calm by nature, frowned, "Third brother, fifth brother, and sixth brother, this matter is very important, let's inform elder brother ?”

"Hey! Fourth brother, you don't understand."

"Yes, fourth, you have never escorted military rations, so you have no experience."

"Yes, the fourth brother should tell the eldest brother to rest for a few days. The three of us are familiar with the road, so we are sure nothing will go wrong."

After finishing speaking, the three of Cheng Chubi strode forward, left Xue Rengui on the spot, frowned and sighed, faintly feeling that this matter was extremely inappropriate.
