Xue Wanche on the side washed his hands and feet, put on a robe casually, with his arms exposed, holding a big bowl in his hands, ate up the bowl of noodles in a few big mouthfuls, licked his lips, and used his unfinished skills to grab Lu Dongzan's hand.
He put the bowl in the bowl and yelled: "You are a freeloader and you talk so much! Come on, come on, you are the prime minister and have a noble status. You cannot eat such vulgar food. Give it to someone quickly. I won't dislike it!"
I was born in the Xue family in Hedong, a well-established hairpin family, but I can't compare to you, a poor Tubo barbarian? I can eat it all, but you can't?
Lu Dongzan quickly put the bowl back and said angrily: "Who said anything about noodles? Are you the only ones who have eaten delicacies from the mountains and seas? Who are you looking down on! This noodles is chewy and refreshing, it is a rare delicacy, and it is most suitable for people like me.
Don’t try to rob the elderly when they eat it!”
After saying that, the chopsticks in my hands were flying, and I was snoring while eating...
After lunch, the maid made tea and brought it over. The three of them sat under the corridor in front of the door, basking in the warm sun and drinking tea.
Lu Dongzan squinted his eyes and looked at the greenhouse reflecting the dazzling light in the sun. He put the tea cup in his hand to his mouth and took a sip, savoring the taste slowly. After hesitating for a moment, he asked: "What do you hope?"
Erlang told me, do these crops really have such a high yield and can relieve the hunger of the people?"
Fang Jun was lying on a reclining chair, tiptoeing to the ground, and the reclining chair slowly swayed. He felt very comfortable on it. Hearing this, he said: "Are you kidding me? Whether the people have enough to eat has never been a question of food.
It doesn’t even have much to do with the weather. It has more to do with people and whether the officials are honest. Do you think people will not die from hunger in a good year?"
Ludong praised silently.
What is the greatest disaster in the world?
It's not snow in June, it's not rivers bursting their banks, it's not even drought and locusts, it's a man-made disaster...
Man-made disasters are worse than natural disasters, and harsh government is more fierce than tigers!
When Confucius passed by the side of Mount Tai, a woman was crying in front of the tomb. Confucius ordered him to go up to the tomb and asked: "When you cry, it seems that you are worried." The woman cried and said: "However, in the past, my uncle died of a tiger.
, my husband is dead, and now my son is dead." Confucius was surprised: "Why not go?" Since there are tigers in danger, why not leave? The woman wept sadly: "There is no harsh government."
It can still be seen that harsh government is fiercer than a tiger!
In fact, there is only one year when the people's grain harvest is completely cut off and the land is unproductive. Even if there is a disaster in one place, the money and grain of the neighboring counties can be allocated to provide relief, and the whole country can be used to provide relief to the local area. How can there be a situation where children are exchanged for food, and flesh and blood are cooked together?
horrible disaster?
The key still lies in people and management.
All kinds of exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes make the people suffer from exploitation, leaving only ten houses empty. The wealthy families continue to annex land, making the people displaced. How can they survive without a house or a land? Don't say that prosperous times are not prosperous.
In the era, there will always be some cruel officials in the fish and meat village, and there will always be some officials who are in a state of complicity with them.
Regardless of the Tang Dynasty or Tubo, is the food produced on the land really not enough for the people?
Naturally impossible.
However, it was the endless exploitation by officials and the endless mergers by wealthy families, coupled with natural disasters, that led to scenes of human tragedy.
As the prime minister of Tubo, Lu Dongzan was extremely intelligent. How could he not know the truth?
Even if you plant all the land in the world with food, and the officials are not clear about governance, the harsh government is not eradicated, and the wealthy families are unkind, the people in the world will not have enough to eat even if they should have enough to eat...
The topic was a bit heavy, and Fang Jun was speechless as he praised Ludong, sipping tea and basking in the sun, lost in thought.
Xue Wanche simply threw the tea cup aside, stretched out on the recliner, and snored loudly in a few breaths...
The servants of the Fang family came in a hurry, interrupting the tranquility of the afternoon.
"Erlang, the master of the house has ordered you to return to the house immediately. The guests have already arrived one after another, but you are not at home. It is a bit rude..."
As the servant narrated Fang Xuanling's words, he raised his head and glanced at his second son, feeling speechless.
How can there be people who get married at night, but still go to the fields to plant crops during the day, while the gods are there to bask in the sun and drink tea?
I really don’t understand why the women of the Xiao family are said to be dignified and beautiful. Why would they be unhappy?
If I had such an obscure son...ahem.
The Fang family sighed and had to get up to change their clothes. They kicked Xue Wanche and saw that the man opened his eyes in a daze. Then he said to him and Lu Dongzan: "Let's all take a bath and change clothes. Go to the house to eat something."
Wedding wine."
On the day of the wedding, I ran out of the house and went to work in the fields. This was just to express my dissatisfaction. I was protesting to my father Fang Xuanling and Xiao Yu. Why should I be punished for this dirty deal between you?
Implicated? However, the matter is a foregone conclusion. You can't regret the marriage at this time and let the world laugh at Fang Xuanling, right?
I originally thought that I was a young handsome man and a high official in the court, but in the end I was just a bargaining chip for marriage...
It's disgusting, but being born in this Tang Dynasty, one cannot stay out of it no matter what.
Lu Dongzan didn't know this, and stared when he heard this: "We got married in the evening, and now you and an old man like me are here drinking tea and sunbathing? Haha, Erlang is really a strange person!"
Fang Jun glared at him angrily and snorted coldly: "Don't say sarcastic words, prepare the congratulations. If someone is not satisfied, hehe, he said that he can't wait until the Prime Minister returns to Tubo, and send someone to pretend to be a bandit.
I robbed all your property on the way."
Lu Dongzan: "..."
Can you be so confident when asking for congratulations?
However, considering Fang Jun's virtuous nature, it is impossible to say that he might be robbed when he returns to Tubo at a time when the scenery is clear, the moon is clear, the moon is dark and the wind is high.
He came to the Tang Dynasty to congratulate him and gave him many rare treasures. When he returns home, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty will definitely give him twice as many gifts in return.
I was robbed, and it was difficult for me to even fall out...
"Erlang, don't worry. We have been friends for many years and have a deep love. We will definitely prepare a generous congratulatory gift to congratulate Erlang on his beautiful marriage."
Xue Wanche chuckled at the side and said: "My congratulations have already been delivered to my house. I wish Erlang to ride the crane and have a prosperous future, and be a bridegroom every year!"
Fang Jun clicked his tongue, this wish is really good.
It’s just that it’s better to have fewer marriages like this in the future. Otherwise, if you marry a woman with some ulterior motives, you’ll be fighting in the back house all day long, and you won’t be able to live a good life?
The biggest worry is Wu Meiniang, she is a big killer in a house fight!
Who knows if some blind person will annoy this bitch who hides the attributes of a great emperor, and even cut her into a stick for you?
It’s scary to think about it…
*****
Weddings were originally called "evening ceremonies." "The late ceremony will combine the best of the two surnames, so that the top one can serve the ancestral temple, and the bottom one can inherit the descendants, so gentlemen value it."
Even if it is a concubine, due to the special status of the Xiao family's daughter, she is a direct branch of the Lanling Xiao family, so the three books and six etiquette are indispensable. It's just that Fang Jun has some resistance in his heart and is too lazy to care about these things. It's all his mother's
Lu took care of everything.
Of course, the last item of the six rites, "welcome in person", cannot be omitted. Your husband is tall and strong. If you replace your younger brother or someone else, believe it or not, Xiao Yu can come out with a sword on the spot.
Kill someone?
After returning to the house, he ordered people to settle down Lu Dongzan and send him to the front hall to chat and spank with the officials, but Xue Wanche refused to leave: "No, I will do my duty as Erlang's best man today!"
If you don't want to let me, don't let me. Let's get a county prince and the general of the Sixteenth Guards to be the best man. It's quite a high level.
Fang Jun nodded in agreement, and a maid came forward to change his auspicious clothes.
Because concubinage was not as important as getting married, Li Siwen, Cheng Chubi, Qu Tuquan and other friends all went to the Youwu Guard on time to be on duty, and they all took leave towards the afternoon and gathered in the house.
Fang Junhuan was so happy, and after Mrs. Lu told her to be obedient and not to get angry and cause trouble, she bowed to Princess Gaoyang and Wu Meiniang, who had a meaningful look on her face, and then turned around and went out, mounted her tall horse, surrounded by her friends
Next, we went to the Song Dynasty Duke's Mansion with drums and gongs playing.
Pedestrians on the road looked sideways.
"Eh? Isn't that Fang Erlang? Why is he wearing auspicious clothes and riding a horse? Is he getting married?"
"Are you stupid? We have already gotten married, and the wife of the wife is His Majesty's daughter, Princess Gaoyang. This time she is taking a concubine!"
"Of course I know that Fang Erlang's wife is Princess Gaoyang, but look at her grandeur. Isn't it too ostentatious? To take a concubine, isn't it just a matter of getting a sedan and carrying her through the side door?"
"Hehe, are you ignorant? If you accept a girl from an ordinary family, she will naturally be carried through the side door in a sedan chair. But the legitimate daughter of the Lanling Xiao family... How dare you be so perfunctory?"
"Ha! That's it!"
"It is said that the beauty of the Xiao family is famous in the south of the Yangtze River. I don't know how many young men from the Jiangnan aristocratic families love and covet her. Now she has entered the house of the house. This second man of the house is very lucky!"
