Under the verandah of the flower hall in the backyard, the shade of tall trees shields the scorching sun. Madam Zhang is entertaining guests. Today, Mrs. Sun, the wife of Li Jing's fifth brother Li Keshi, came to visit her sister-in-law with her children.
"Congratulations to Third Sister-in-law. Sanlang has been promoted again. He finally removed the word "inspection and school" and became the Governor of Anzhou." Changsun said with a smile.
Zhang Chuchen, the duke of Yongkang, made tea for his sister-in-law. She used purple bamboo shoots from her hometown of Huzhou in the south of the Yangtze River. It is also a famous tribute tea in the world. It is produced in Yangya Yinlin. The tea buds are tender and purple in color and shaped like bamboo shoots.
After seven steps of steaming, pounding, roasting and breaking through the soil, the tribute tea cake is tight and straight, exuding bursts of tea aroma. Zhang cooks it slowly over a slow fire, and the tea aroma overflows.
"What do you want to add?"
Compared with the Zhang family who was born in the water town of Jiangnan, the Changsun family was a serious military aristocrat of Guanlong. His father, Changsun Chi, was born in the Changsun family of Guanlong in Henan.
He was appointed as the Minister of the Second Department of Xinghu, and stayed in the Eastern Capital.
Changsun's biological uncle was Changsun Sheng who killed two birds with one stone when he escorted the Northern Zhou princess and kissed the Turks. He is also the father of the current Princess Qin.
The Changsun family was originally a member of the clan of the Northern Wei Dynasty. Later, the Han Dynasty in the Northern Wei Dynasty gave the surname Changsun. They were Xianbei people, but Xianbei took the initiative to become Han Chinese.
"Add some salt, green onion, ginger, jujube and orange peel, then add some dogwood, mint, and if there is fresh milk, add some fresh milk."
Li Keshi used to be a soldier of Yanjun King Li Yi and joined the army. Now Li Yi, the general of Zuo Yiwei, is also the general of Tianjie. The governor of Jingchuan is stationed in Jingzhou. He is Li Jiancheng's best friend and has a bad relationship with Li Shimin. He once deliberately
After humiliating Li Shimin's generals, the Turks invaded. Originally, Li Yi had elite troops stationed in Jingzhou, which was very close to Li Jing.
She gave birth to two sons for Li Jing, but no daughter. Sanniang was the daughter of Li Xiuxing, the eldest son of Li Jing's brother Li Duan. She was the third in the family, but the eldest son. Because her mother died when this girl was young,
So basically Zhang Chuchen brought her up by himself, and it hurts just like his own daughter.
The fifth man was Li Keshi, the husband of the Changsun family, and the sixth man was Li Jing's sixth brother Li Zhengming. Li Shimin not only promoted these two brothers of Li Jing to official positions, but also specially sent them as the first batch of reinforcements to Li Jing's place in Xiaoguan.
Li Jing is still the commander-in-chief of the march on Lingzhou Road, but it is his duty to be the governor of Anzhou, and the commander-in-chief of the march is only a wartime position.
Li Shimin urgently appointed Li Jing as the governor of Anzhou. Last year, Li Jing was originally the governor of Yangzhou. When the Turks invaded, the imperial court transferred Li Jing to lead more than 10,000 troops to the north. After the Battle of Taigu, he was promoted to the governor of Anzhou.
But this time, the word "inspection and calibration" was directly removed.
But Li Danyangfang of Longxi was also one of the Guanlong clans. He was from the same clan as Guzangfang and Dunhuangfang, and even from the same clan as the Li Tang royal family. They were both descendants of the famous Han Dynasty general Li Guang.
A direct descendant will only marry a direct descendant, and will not marry a concubine.
Although she and Li Jing came to Hongfu Yeben back then, but now she does not want to see her beloved Sanniang being deceived by some wild boy.
Zhang was no longer in the mood to make milk tea.
"Well, the situation is not so urgent now. Last year, the Turks invaded and merged with the state. The official army was defeated by Taigu. Only Sanlang's army won the victory, which forced the Turks to retreat. This year, the court thought that the Turks were pretending to attack Lingwu and actually attacking Bingzhou. Who knows?
This year, the Turks really turned their heads to the northwest. They were defeated by Sanlang in the battle of Xiashi. They could not capture Lingzhou, so they went deep into the original Huizhou and were blocked by Sanlang at Xiaoguan. Then they turned around and went to Longyou, Lanliang, Qin, Wei, and Longzhu.
Even the people of Tuyuhun in Qinghai have become restless. Chai Shao is afraid that he will not be able to defend Longguan."
As a result, this sudden change disrupted everything and allowed the Turks to rush into Longyou.
Changsun's appearance has many Xianbei characteristics, with a long face and narrow eyes, a high nose and thin lips, and very white skin. She is tall and has a long neck, and her appearance is still very online.
"When choosing a husband, the first priority is family status, followed by talent, and then appearance. Sanniang is young, so you can't be confused." Although Changsun felt that saying this in front of Zhang Chuchen was a bit unpleasant. After all,
At that time, the Zhang family was not worthy of Li Jing. Li Jing was a guest at Yang Su's house when he was young. Finally, Zhang Chuchen came and ran away at night, and the two eloped. Although the Zhang family was also from a noble family in the south of the Yangtze River, when the Sui Dynasty destroyed the south,
Chen and Zhang were reduced to red-fu singers in Yang Su's house, so they were no longer worthy of Li Jing.
However, after the Xuanwumen Incident, Li Yi, the Prince of Yan Commandery, stood still and obviously did not want to contribute. He was very likely to collude with the Turks or start a rebellion. In this case, Li Shimin ordered that Li Yi, Prince of Yan Commandery, and Li Youliang, Prince of Liang Changle Commandery, be granted the title of Opening Mansion Ceremony.
Tongsansi.
"Wu Lang was awarded the title of Vice-General of the Imperial Prince Younei and Deputy General of the Tianjie Army, and Liu Lang was awarded the title of Governor of Yuanzhou."
Since the Northern and Southern Dynasties, marriage has been based on family status and status, and people must be from the right family. For example, those with five surnames and seven families will only marry with those with five surnames and seven families. The noble families of Guanlong will generally only marry with the famous families of Guanlong. The powerful common people,
Then you can only intermarry with the powerful common people.
"I just heard outside that Sanniang was back. She just brought a young man wearing a crimson uniform. I heard that she was very fair and handsome with star-shaped eyebrows and sharp eyes. So I took her to the courtyard directly.
He said that the two of them walked side by side and looked very cordial..."
After all, the Li Jing family is not only a famous noble family in Guanlong, they also belong to the Li family in Longxi, and are the Danyang family among them.
"Third sister-in-law, we have to go over quickly and see where this little official in crimson clothes comes from. He actually dares to seduce our Sanniang. Don't let him deceive Sanniang away."
At that time, Li Jingguai, Yang Su, and Zhang Chuchen, the singer, were extremely outrageous and were ridiculed by many noble families.
However, Zhang Chuchen was not happy. The war was tense, and Li Jing had too few troops. At the beginning of the year, the court still judged that the Turks would mainly attack the east of the river, so the court asked King Qin Li Shimin to serve as the governor of Puzhou, and mobilized various troops to assemble in Taigu, Bingzhou.
Li Jing transferred only a few troops to the direction of Lingzhou to assist Li Daozong, the governor of Lingzhou, to take precautions.
"The young man in crimson clothes? Isn't he just a foreign official? Maybe he doesn't even have a foreign official, he is just a miscellaneous clerk in the yamen. Nowadays, many miscellaneous minor officials in the yamen in Chang'an also wear crimson uniforms.
, Jiang Chuyi, Madam, you have to be careful, how can Sanniang marry a petty official?"
The maid brought the freshly squeezed milk.
"Fifth Lang and Sixth Lang have also received orders from the King of Qin to lead troops out of the capital to reinforce Sanlang." Changsun revealed that his husband, Li Keshi, was the commander of the Qin Palace's army before and also participated in the operation on the fourth day of June. He was Li Shimin
Li Shimin's brother-in-law, and Li Jing's brother. Before the incident, Li Shimin also wrote to Li Jing to ask about his attitude. Li Jing would be away and expressed his inability to participate. Li Shimin could also understand that Li Jing's neutrality was already supporting him, and Li Ke
The teacher actively participated and made great contributions.
Mrs. Zhang smiled and called her maid to go to the outer courtyard to get fresh milk. The famous noble families in Chang'an usually kept livestock for milking. Li Jing was the county magistrate or the Shangzhu Kingdom, and he was from a famous family in Guanlong, so his family also raised livestock.
There are many cows, sheep and camels that provide fresh milk for drinking and milking, and the milk can also be milked to make cheese and other foods.
This is the highest level of prose officials in the Tang Dynasty, starting from the first rank.
Mrs. Zhang nodded.
Li Jing's family is a well-known Guanlong aristocrat, and they are also very particular about marriage. For example, Li Jing's mother was born in the same Guanlong aristocracy, the Han family, and Li Keshi's wife Changsun's family is the Changsun family of Henan.
Although behind that incident was Yang Su's failure to win over the Yang family and the Han family, and Li Jing's ignorance of the promotion and abduction of Yang Su's geisha and red Buddha girl Zhang Chuchen, the Turks were indeed not easy to fight. If Li Jing was defeated, the consequences would be unpredictable.
Unexpectedly, the auxiliary forces became the main force, and now hundreds of thousands of Turks rushed into Shuofang Longyou. It was very difficult for Li Jing to wait for reinforcements.
Anzhou is also known as Anlu, which is Li Yuan's second hometown. His father worked in Anlu when he was a child, and later he grew up in Anlu as a teenager.
If there is no suitable one, I would rather wait. I will not get married easily until I am in my thirties or forties.
The imperial court's current situation was very critical. If the Xuanwumen mutiny had not happened, the emperor would have transferred Yuanji to command Li Yi as his deputy, and sent troops north to break the siege of Wucheng. At the same time, he would have blocked the Turks north of Lingzhou and prevented them from going south.
Although Li Sanniang's grandfather was deposed as a commoner in the Sui Dynasty and died in the ninth year of Daye, the Tang Dynasty still gave him a posthumous title as the governor of Zizhou. His sons Li Xiuzhi and Li Xiuxing are now both fourth- and fifth-grade generals.
, her grandchildren also have seventh- and eighth-grade military positions, and Li Sanniang is now reaching the age of engagement. Her husband should be a noble from Guanlong, such as the Han family, the Sun family, or even the five surnames, seven families, and the fourth surname of Guanxi.
"Sanlang is on the front line alone, holding back hundreds of thousands of Turkic cavalry. I'm having a hard time day and night. I heard that Wulang is also going out?" Zhang asked.
Li Youliang and Li Yi are both county princes, one is in charge of Liangzhou and the other is in Jingzhou, and both support the establishment of the state. At this time, the only priority is to stabilize them first.
The eating habits are also influenced by Hu Feng. Drinking tea not only adds a lot of seasonings, but also adds milk.
The mother of Jieli Khan was the Murong family of the Tuyuhun royal family. The Turkic army could not attack Xiaoguan, so they turned to the west, intending to detour through Longyou and rush into Guanzhong along the Weihe River Valley. They even wanted to bring Tuyuhun, Qinghai, along the way.
.
Although people say that there are five surnames and seven families, the Li family in Longxi generally refers to the Li Bao branch who entered the Northern Wei Dynasty and became officials and moved to the east and settled in Guandong, which later became the Guzangfang and Dunhuangfangs. They were also the lords of Li Dingfang in Longxi.
Seven families with five surnames intermarried with each other. Among them, Li from Longxi specifically refers to the two families of Li Bao's family.
Zhang Chuchen was stunned for a moment when he heard this.
Every family in a famous family will have a genealogy, which clearly records the branches of the clan. Before choosing a marriage, a special person will be asked to compare it carefully.
I think back then, Li Jing's eldest brother Li Duan and his uncle Han Hong were besieged during the war with the Turks. Although they succeeded in breaking through the siege through fake peace talks, most of them died in the battle. In the end, they were impeached by Yang Su and demoted to the people. Li Jing was also implicated and demoted.
Ji County Magistrate.
However, Li Shimin did not completely trust them. Li Jing's younger brother, his brother-in-law, Li Yi's former soldier Cao joined the army, and Li Keshi, who had just made contributions in the Xuanwumen Incident, inspected the prince's right inner deputy and served as Tianjie Army.
Lieutenant General, asking him to go to reinforce Li Yi's army actually means sending him to Li Yi's army. The purpose is very obvious. It is not only to announce the decree and appease him, but also to supervise and urge him. He may even use the secret decree to seize military power.
What if Sanniangzi imitates her and goes on a night run?
The two of them got up quickly and rushed quietly with only a few personal servants and maids. What happened in the backyard of the mansion involved a daughter of gold and gold. It had to be kept secret and not known to everyone. Otherwise, how would Sanniang get married in the future.
"Third sister-in-law, what would you do if the third lady is really tempted by that pretty boy? Once this young girl is tempted, sometimes even nine oxen can't get her back." Changsun suggested, "
We must be stable then, or find him a ninth-grade official position. It is best to stay as far away from the capital as possible, and then give him some land, money, and silk. How about sending him away? As long as he is willing to take the initiative to break off from Sanniang.
As long as the relationship is good, you can't just use force for this kind of thing, it's better to let the man take the initiative to break it off, so that the third lady can give up."
"Let's talk about it after seeing the person first." Zhang Chuchen was anxious and angry, and a little curious. What kind of boy could charm Sanniang and even take him home openly?
