Chapter 389: Treasure Window Chooses a Husband-in-law, Miss Qiu
Chapter 389: Bao Chuang chooses a son-in-law, Miss Qiu
Wu Huaiyu took the initiative to visit Tan Guogong's house.
The Qiu family visited the Wu family several times before, but Wu Huaiyu found excuses not to see him, but this time he took the initiative to visit, and specially prepared several carts of gifts, as well as ten Silla maids, ten Bodhisattvas, and ten Turkic horses.
Ten Western Horses.
Although Qiu Xinggong didn't say how much he helped him this time, his attitude was still worthy of gratitude.
Moreover, the emperor had previously given him the Qiu family daughter as his concubine, but he had always used the excuse of being busy as an excuse to not come to pick her up. Now that the Chinese New Year is approaching, he cannot delay it until after the new year.
What's more, the Qiu family also showed off their extraordinary skills 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, would become the heroine of the world. Wu Huaiyu didn't even know about this yet.
With such a powerful relationship in the Six Gates, Zhang Liang, Gao Huitong, An Yuanshou, Li Dejie, Li Wujie, these people are all one step behind the Qiu family.
The day before, he had sent someone a message saying that he would visit him today.
When Huaiyu arrived, the Qiu family also specially waited early for him.
Mr. Qiu's father, Tan Guogong Qiuhe, brought his eldest son, Gongqiu Xingze of Xiucheng County, his second son, Gongqiu Xinggong of Tianshui County, and his fifteen sons, including Gongqiu Xingqi of Ruanling County, as well as a group of grandsons to welcome him.
This scene is very solemn.
He even opened the door of Qiu's house to welcome him.
Huaiyu was even a little embarrassed when he saw this posture.
Because of his previous conflict with Qiu Xinggong, Qiu and his fifteenth son, five county princes and ten county princes were directly eliminated, and ten county princes and one county prince were eliminated.
Now Qiu Xinggong has directly restored 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 his fifteen sons and dozens of grandsons, no matter how big or small, and all the men in the family came to the gate to greet him. Even though he was old, he also greeted him respectfully with a staff.
Seeing the enthusiastic smile on his face, Huaiyu felt really embarrassed.
Chang'an is full of ruthless people.
Chai Shao's younger brother was killed, his son was exiled, and he was deprived of his position. He was still able to toast Wu Huaiyu to apologize, and even took out a large sum of money to compensate for the loss of property, farm, house, slaves, oxen, and horses.
The Qiu family is also great.
Last time, Huaiyu also suffered a big setback. In the end, the two daughters were involved, but they didn't say a word. The Wu family came to help when something happened, and now they are even more grandly welcomed.
In comparison, Wu Huaiyu still looks a little tender after all.
You haven’t cultivated enough.
This reminded him of the idiom about doing things in spite of yourself. The protagonist of the story is Lou Shide, the prime minister of Wu Zetian in the Tang Dynasty, and his younger brother. Lou Shide became a Jinshi at the age of twenty, and worked from county lieutenant to prime minister.
Mr. Lou’s motto is to value harmony.
He went to court with Li Zhaode, the censor Zhongcheng. Li Zhaode called him a country bumpkin because he was fat and walked slowly. However, he smiled and said, "I am not a country bumpkin, who is a country bumpkin?"
Lou Shide later recommended Di Renjie to become prime minister. After Di Renjie became prime minister, he did not know that Lou Shide had recommended him. He often attacked and excluded him because of his political disagreements, and finally expelled him from the court. But Lou Shide
De also never cared, and never even said that he recommended him as prime minister.
Brother Lou Shide 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 that you are greedy for glory and pretending to be favored, so what should you do if you are jealous and frame you?
His brother said, don't worry, brother, if someone spits on my face, I won't talk back, I just wipe the spit off.
But Lou Shide said, brother, you are too young. When someone spits on you, it means they are dissatisfied with you, angry, or have an opinion. If you wipe the spit away, it exposes your dissatisfaction with others and is suspected of holding a grudge.
, this will only make others more angry.
Not only can you not wipe the spit off, but you should accept it with a smile and let the spit on your face dry up on its own.
What a cruel state this is.
Therefore, it is said that there were ruthless people in the Tang Dynasty, and one was more ruthless than the other. This is all based on tradition.
Although Qiu He is old now, Qiu He, who was born in the Xianbei ethnic group, has gone through several dynasties. When he was young, he was also a knight who attached great importance to justice. He was also a famous young knight in the old Chang'an city. What about Chai Shao, Li Jiancheng and Shi Wanbao?
Master Chai Lun and Duan and others are all the younger generations among younger generations, younger brothers among younger brothers.
In his life, he went through four dynasties and seven counties.
Qiu He is very good at socializing. Regardless of whether he is a cowardly king, a wise king, or a treacherous and loyal minister, he can make friends with them and get along well with them. Even when he went out of the seven counties in the town, he did a good job in every place, and he was able to be both literary and military.
.
Mounting the horse can bring peace to the country; dismounting the horse can govern the country.
He could not only make friends with the powerful minister Yu Wenshu to seek official titles for him, but also report betrayal of Yuanwei to perform meritorious service at critical moments. Even Yang Guang, who was difficult to serve, he was able to make him always admire him. After returning to the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan and Li Shimin and his son both
I admire Qiu He very much, this is not an ordinary skill.
Anyway, when the old man met, he took Huaiyu's hand and was as affectionate as his own son. It didn't feel like meeting him for the first time.
She grabbed his hand from the gate and went all the way to the hall. She even pulled him to sit on the same bed, but she had no intention of letting go.
"I'm seventy-seven this year, but I can still drink three measures of wine and eat several kilograms of mutton at a time. But I can't compare to your fourth uncle. He can still take in several concubines a year. I heard that he gave birth to four more children this year?
I'm so envious. They say that the Duke of Xuancheng County took the prescription you prescribed. Erlang, you have to give me some prescription. I also want to see the dead tree bloom again."
The old man is quite interesting and makes people feel naturally close and familiar with him.
An old house where a treasure.
Qiu and his family have fifteen sons and a bunch of grandchildren, all of whom are very honest. This is completely different from the rumored impression that the Qiu family is very domineering.
Especially Qiu Xinggong, even in front of the emperor, this guy seemed a bit unrestrained, but in front of Qiu He, he acted like a primary school student, sitting upright with a serious look on his face.
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, Feiyang was domineering and looked down upon the governor Xue Wanche, and he didn't take Chief Wu Huaiyu seriously. The Han family, one of the six powerful people in Lingzhou, even wanted half of his family property, and he would give it to him if he didn't give it.
His eldest son was killed in the street and his kidneys were roasted, but he still joined the army at the seventh level of Lingzhou.
But before in Yongzhou Yamen and in the palace, he had two other faces.
Now it's another face.
It would be a pity for this old boy not to learn Sichuan Opera and change his face. Before, Huaiyu thought that this guy was yelling at him in Lingzhou, but he was able to be very close to him in Chang'an. At that time, he admired his thick skin, but now it seems that this guy is
Basic skills.
Wu Huaiyu remembered what the warrior Xun had said to Qiu He before, "When you are young, you can use bows and horses, but when you are old enough, you can be a knight. When you grow up, you begin to break knots. You have no disobedience to anything, and everyone will love him regardless of high or low."
The level is getting higher and higher.
Now seventy-seven, he is probably living like a human being.
To grow old without dying is to be a thief, indeed a thief, too transparent.
While young people may still be struggling with face, dignity, and love, Qiu He, who is seventy-seven, 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 wrapped with silk gauze.
Huaiyu heard that there seemed to be a woman laughing behind the precious wall and horizontal window.
Qiu He said with a smile, "These girls are too unreserved. To be honest with Erlang, behind this window are the two girls who will be sent to the Wu family as concubines. I heard that Erlang was coming, so he came here specially to steal
Look, I made Erlang laugh."
When Wu Huaiyu heard this, he suddenly thought of another rumor about the Qiu family.ωωw..net
It is said that after Tan Guogong Qiu He returned to the Tang Dynasty, he paid homage to Zuo Wuhou, the general, and went to Zhuguo. Qiu He was old and asked to serve as an official to return to his hometown. Li Yuan specially set up several counties in Wugong in his hometown, and set up a Jizhou to let Qiu He.
And work as a governor in my hometown to provide for my retirement.
From the time he entered the imperial court in the fifth year of Taketoku to the time he returned to his hometown of Wugong in the sixth year of Taketoku, he basically focused on martial arts and rarely stayed in the capital.
Every year around the New Year, I would go to Beijing and stay for a while.
It is said that Qiu He would always set up a flower-walled window in the living room of his house no matter where he was in Beijing. If a nobleman or a young scholar came to visit, Qiu He would arrange for his daughters and granddaughters to watch from behind the flowered window.
If there is someone he likes, Qiu He will take the initiative to propose marriage.
When Qiu He was the prefect of Jiaozhi County at first, and Gao Shilian was demoted to Jiaozhi and came to visit him, he asked his daughters to watch behind the flowered window. One of his daughters liked Gao Shilian, so Qiu He took the initiative to give her daughter to Gao Shilian.
As a concubine.
Even when Changsun Wuji later adopted Qiu Xinggong's eldest daughter as his concubine, it was actually when he came to visit Qiu He that Qiu Xinggong's daughter was chosen behind the flower window.
Qiuhe has many sons, many daughters, and many grandchildren.
There are widespread rumors that Qiu Jiabao Chuang chose a son-in-law. Anyway, the Qiu family has a strong marriage alliance, with in-laws all over the government and the public.
Gao Shilian, Chang Sun Wuji, even Yan Lide, Yan Liben, etc.
There are noble people who are prime ministers, and there are young people who are just students of the Imperial College.
Bao Chuang's method of choosing a son-in-law is quite good and quite enlightened.
After all, even if it is a political marriage between nobles, in this way, the women can choose by themselves, and whoever they choose to marry is still their choice.
"The ladies are smiling so happily, I guess they are very satisfied. Why don't we let them come out to meet Erlang," Qiu He said with a smile.
Huaiyu didn't refuse. Anyway, this marriage couldn't be repeated. He came to the house today to talk about it. He chose an auspicious day and rushed to pick her up before the end of the year.
Behind the treasure window were not only Qiu Xinggong's legitimate second daughter, but also Qiu Xingze's concubine daughter. There were also a bunch of girls from the Qiu family who all came to see what their husbands looked like and to see such a famous man in Chang'an.
Wu Qingyang is so awesome after all.
But listening to their laughter, it can be seen that they are all quite satisfied. After all, Wu Huaiyu is really good. He is young and holds an important position. He is a high-ranking official and his temperament has also improved a lot.
Qiuhe clapped his hands.
"Nier, come out."
So the two Qiu sisters came out together to pay their respects.
Even though the Qiu family father and son are all tall and burly, with beards and leopard heads, the girls in her family are actually pretty, especially their legs are very long, and even their single eyelids are not out of place.
Perhaps due to the mixed race of the Xianbei people, the Qiu sisters, with their long legs and tall figures, were indeed somewhat beyond Huaiyu's expectations.
"I asked someone to check it out. The day after tomorrow will be a good day. On the twenty-sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, everything will go well. It's better to just have the day after tomorrow."
Qiu He said.
"Okay, let's follow Tan Guogong's arrangements." Huaiyu responded with a smile.
Lao Qiu took Huai Yu's hand and said, "We will be a family from now on. We don't need to call ourselves Duke or General at home. To show our identity, if you want to, just call me Azu, if you don't want to, just call me Lao Qiu."
"
Huaiyu didn't think that the old man had taken advantage of him. He gave his two granddaughters to him as concubines. After all, they were both legitimate daughters of his sons. Even though Qiu Xinggong was a concubine, he was also the Duke of Tianshui and the general of Zuo Wuhou.
.The eldest son Qiu Xingze is also the county official and governor.
Based on the status of the Qiu family, the two granddaughters should at least be married to the legitimate sons of the governor. There is no reason to be concubines.
Of course, it is different to give the title of Duke Yi to 600 households, the special minister of Yongzhou, the minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the judge of branches, and the official secretary and censor.
Just like the eldest daughter of a monk who is respectful to his eldest son, he becomes a concubine to his eldest son Wuji.
Wu Huaiyu and Changsun Wuji were already in love. Previously, Changsun Wuji had children with him, and Wu Huaiyu's second son was engaged to Changsun Wuji's seventh daughter. Now Huaiyu and Wuji have adopted Qiu Xinggong's daughter.
As a concubine, we become a brother-in-law again.
As expected, nobles are all relatives.
The atmosphere in the Qiu family's living room was harmonious. On this occasion, no one would mention that Wu Huaiyu had offended Jingzhao Weidu or Shandong Cui Zheng, although Weidu and Cui Zheng were actually in-laws of the Qiu family.
Wu Huaiyu was able to offend Wei Du Cui Zheng with his own strength, and that was also his ability. Brothers Qiu and Gong were worried, but old man Qiu bluntly said that his sons were too young.
The 20-year-old Duke of Six Hundred Households was able to survive the conspiracy of these families and was even promoted to an official position. On the contrary, among those families, the eldest son of the former prime minister died.
He took the brother of a county prince who was the consort of a great general, captured a country duke, three county dukes, and demoted several famous men.
This is the prosperity of the holy family.
My eyes are red and purple, so there is nothing to worry about.
