The New Year is approaching, and the defense in the palace has also been strengthened, Yang Fan inspected everywhere again, and instructed Dugu Zhizhi, who was on duty today, to be extra cautious and not to make any mistakes, so as to find a reason to leave the palace. As soon as Yang Fan left the palace gate, Ren Wei, who was waiting under the Xuanwu Gate, draped the fox fur on his body.

Yang Fan asked in a low voice, "Has Shen Muke returned to Beijing?" ”

After the two sects of "Jihetang" were freed from the control of the family and the two sides became a cooperative relationship, there were many relationships that needed to be clarified. Shen Mu is better at these things than Yang Fan, and he is more familiar with the major families than Yang Fan, plus he has no official status and freedom of action, so he has been running between the major families these days, coordinating and discussing.

Now that the snow is in the middle of winter, the New Year is approaching, Shen Mu is bound to return to Beijing for the New Year, Yang Fan asked Ren Wei to inquire about Shen Mu's return date in advance, the two have not seen each other for a long time, and there are many things between the two sects that need to be negotiated between the two leaders of the two sects, and Shen Mu's participation is indispensable for this major event at present.

Ren Wei said: "The news I got from the humble post said that Shen Gongzi will return to Beijing tomorrow. ”

Yang Fan looked up at the gloomy sky and said, "The wind and snow in Guanzhong this year are really too big, I hope there will be no heavy wind and snow tomorrow to hinder his trip." ”

Ren Wei grinned and said: "Although the general can rest assured, no matter how big the wind and snow are, he can only stop thousands of troops and horses, if Shen Gongzi wants to return to Beijing, he will definitely not delay." ”

Yang Fan nodded, and at this time, his subordinates brought a mount for him, Yang Fan tied the big sword, pulled the saddle and recognized the stirrup, and stepped on the war horse.

On the side of Longqing Pond, the five county palaces on the right side of the Yang family's mansion have been half completed. Li Chengji and Li Chengyi's mansion has been officially completed, and Li Longji's mansion only has a little place left to improve, because the weather is too cold, and work has been temporarily suspended.

The new house of Li Chengji and Li Chengyi was completed. Naturally, we also have to celebrate, the banquet is today, set up in Li Chengqi's palace, compared to Princess Anle's housewarming banquet for several days, inviting the extravagance of the Beijing master and magnates, the five sons of the prime minister are much more low-key, in addition to their own brothers and sisters, they only invited some royal relatives.

The four girls of Shouchang, Jingshan, Huaiyang and Liangguo have been engaged, and their future husbands are also invited today, so the four girls can only accompany those royal ladies in the back house. It's not good to walk around, so as not to be embarrassed by bumping into your fiancé.

The other seven girls were too young to be treated as women at all, but as naughty children, and several of them were lively and extremely active. It's uncomfortable to stay in the back house, and it's not good to go to the front house to hang out with male guests. The seven of them walked around the county king's mansion. Soon came to the secluded left gable.

The seven girls, the eldest was only twelve years old, and the youngest was only six years old, each wearing a snow fox fur jacket, and two or three older ones also wore mink coats. Some are clean and elegant, some are tranquil and warm, and some have bright eyes and bright teeth, although they are not all of them of good color, but because of the rich and elegant clothes, they are also beautiful.

Li Huawan, the twelve-year-old county lord of Shouguang, was born gentle and delicate. She has been fond of calligraphy and musical instruments since she was a child, so her temperament among the seven sisters is also the most gentle and virtuous.

The seven sisters stopped under a big tree with withered leaves, Li Huawan rubbed her little red hands, and said to the sisters: "I heard that the Tibetan envoy is still staying in the Sifang Pavilion, and he goes to the palace every day to pester the imperial grandmother, and he has to choose one of our sisters to marry to Tubo." ”

The county lord of Qingyang is the same age as her, but her birthday is younger, Qingyang's appearance is slightly mediocre, but her complexion is extremely white and tender, listening to her sister's words, Qingyang said timidly: "People don't want to marry to Tubo, I heard that it is so bitter there, take felt as a room, and use the ground as a couch." And the plateau is closer to the sky, the sun is blazing, the wind is hard, and it won't take long to turn into black charcoal. ”

The same twelve-year-old Xicheng County Lord said: "You know how to cherish your skin, what is this little thing, I heard that the person who marries there, if the husband dies, he will marry his son, and if the son dies, he will marry his grandson. ”

"Oh my God! It's horrible! I won't do anything that goes against the norm of ethics like this, and I won't do it! ”

"Yes, I've heard that people there don't take a shower a few times in their lives, and they stink......"

Several little women covered their mouths and noses together, and their delicate brows were furrowed, as if they had seen a man who smelled so bad and dirty.

Li Chiying, the nine-year-old county lord of Chongchang, is the most outstanding among the sisters, with a pair of big eyes and bright water, red lips and white teeth, and beautiful facial features.

Li Zhiying said angrily: "I really don't understand, why does the imperial grandmother have to be so tolerant of the Tubo people, is she willing to let her own granddaughter marry and suffer in Tubo?" Think about how powerful my Tang Dynasty was under the rule of Emperor Taizong, didn't Wen Cheng suffer the cold reception when he entered Tibet?

The entourage she brought with her didn't even take care of the food. After getting married, he lived in a simple room, with only one bed and one cabinet in the room, and several people couldn't stand. Wen Cheng brought such a rich dowry, but she was treated coldly, and she was bullied by the concubine, and she was married for more than a month, and she didn't allocate a waiting slave to her.

People in Tubo feel that Wen Cheng and his relatives are because the Tang Dynasty is afraid of its military might and begs for tribute to Tubo, and my Datang is obviously humiliated by others, and the historian is still trying his best to boast about himself, as if the Tubo people admire my Tang Dynasty so much, how to bathe in the grace of the kingdom, deceive themselves!

Princess Wencheng married in the west, and when she arrived in Tibet, she was just a second concubine, not even the main room, and the king of Tubo built the Jokhang Temple for the concubine, enshrined the eight-year-old statue of Sakyamuni brought from Nepal. For Wencheng, only a small Xiaozhao Temple was built to enshrine the twelve-year-old statue of Sakyamuni brought by our Tang Dynasty!

The high status of the two princesses can be seen. Moreover, Princess Wencheng and the King of Tubo have been husband and wife for ten years, and the time that Wencheng has been able to see him is less than three years. There are no children, no pets, and slaves in their lives! Just ask me, as the princess and daughter, will you be more respected than Wencheng? ”

The more Li Huawan listened, the more frightened she became, and she couldn't help but exclaim: "Zhiying, where did you hear about these things, why don't I know?" ”

Li Zhiying said: "I heard what the third brother said, the court officials will only brag about themselves, slap their swollen faces and become fat. Will they tell you the truth? ”

Li Huawan knows that this little girl is smart and clever, and San Lang Longji is the most mature and stable one among the brothers and sisters, and Ping Su also pays the most attention to caring about the world's major affairs.

The county lord of Huo Guo is six years old and is not very sensible, but what the sisters said is good because she also understands it, and she can't help but be afraid, and cry with tears in her eyes: "People's ...... People don't want to go to Tibet. ”

Li Zhiying gave her a blank look. said angrily: "Okay, what are you crying about, you have six sisters above you, and it won't be your turn." ”

When Li Zhiying said this, several twelve-year-old sisters in Shouguang, Qingyang, and Xicheng couldn't help but panic. They were the eldest of the seven daughters, and once the emperor agreed to make peace. Then there is a good chance that the people who are close to Tibet will come from one of them. Li Huawan clenched her pink fists. Said loudly: "I don't marry, I'd rather die than marry!" ”

The county lord of Qingyang bit his little finger and thought about it, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said excitedly: "That's right, I want to ask my Tang Dynasty to marry Aunt Taiping." Didn't the imperial grandmother build a Taoist temple for Aunt Taiping and let Aunt Taiping be ordained as a monk, but Tubo had to return in vain. Otherwise, let's become a monk too, shall we? ”

The county lord of Huo Guo applauded: "Okay, good! Then let's become a monk together. Everyone will live in the same view in the future, but they will not be bored. ”

The county lord of Xicheng hung his head and said: "Forget it, it's really whimsical, the seven princesses became monks together to be female yellow crowns, do you think such a reason can deceive the Tubo people?" Are you stupid? ”

The girls looked at each other and slowly lowered their heads. Li Zhiying bit her thin and tender lips, her big eyes turned a few times, and she suddenly said: "Today, the emperor's relatives and relatives have come to congratulate our eldest brother on his housewarming." Why don't we take this opportunity to make a big fuss, so that the imperial grandmother will know that we would rather die than marry, maybe the Tubo people will know the difficulty and retreat. ”

Li Huawan hurriedly asked, "You say, how can you make the movement bigger?" ”

Li Zhiying said brightly: "Let's hang ourselves!" ”

"Huh?"

Li Huawan's mouth opened wide in shock, but she immediately understood what Li Zhiying meant, and couldn't help but hesitate: "You mean, let's pretend to seek death and make our will clear with death?" ”

Li Zhiying said proudly: "Not bad! There are so many people coming and going in this county palace, and it can really make us hang ourselves. As long as we are willing to hang ourselves, this news will definitely reach the ears of the imperial grandmother, and the imperial grandmother can't force her granddaughter to hang herself and be forced to marry, right? ”

King Xiang had five sons and eleven daughters, and among the five sons, Saburo Li Longji was the wisest and was always respected by his brothers. Among the daughters, the nine-year-old Li Chiying is the most intelligent, and several sisters have always been obedient to her. The six sisters listened to Li Zhiying's words, you look at me, I look at you, and their hearts moved.

"Little brother, you can be careful not to fall."

"I know, I know, sister, you're really annoying, just help me watch a little, and tell me if someone comes!"

Yang Nianzu said, like a monkey, flexibly climbed up the branches of an old plum, and then continued to climb higher, hand and foot touched, the snow on the tree fell, Yang Sinian avoided the falling snow, stood under the tree, and nervously opened his eyes to look at the little brother.

The weather is cold, the sisters and brothers really have no good place to play, seeing that this old plum is born gorgeously, Yang Sirong fell in love with the fragrant plum blossoms of the tree, Yang Nianzu, who felt that he had excess energy and had nowhere to show it, immediately volunteered to climb the big tree, Yang Sirong was worried about being seen by her mother, and wanted to break the plum blossoms, but her heart was very conflicted.

On the first horizontal branch, Yang Nianzu can reach out and fold the plum, but he is playful, since he is on the tree, he wants to climb to a high place, fortunately, his body is light, the trunk can support him, all the way to climb, the old trunk of the plum tree did not shake much.

"Ah Lang, you're back!"

Suddenly, the courteous voice of Mo Xuanfei came from the distance, and Yang Sirong hurriedly shouted: "Oh, it's not good, Daddy is back, Nian Zu, come down quickly." ”

"Sister, don't make any noise, I'm afraid that my father won't know that I'm here, where can I go so fast!"

Yang Nianzu was like a little adult, interrupting his sister's words impatiently, his eyes rolled, and he thought about it: "Sister, I hide in the tree and don't move, my father passes under the tree and won't look at the tree." ”

Yang Sirong hurriedly said, "Then what should I do?" ”

Yang Nianzu said: "Sister, you are so stupid, you hide behind the tree, and we will come out when Daddy is over!" ”

"Oh oh oh!" Yang Sirong happily agreed, tiptoeing behind the tree.

Yang Fan was dressed in one hand, covered with a big coat, and strode to the old plum tree along the clean gravel path that was cleaned, the white snow on the side of the road was not cleared, Yang Fan suddenly saw a line of clear small footprints leading to the back of the plum tree, raised his eyes to look, and saw a corner of his clothes exposed behind the tree, Yang Fan couldn't help laughing.

This little girl didn't care about her head, her skirt was exposed, but she didn't pay attention, Yang Fan only said that his daughter knew that she was going home, and she was hiding the cat with herself, he was about to sneak to catch her quietly, and a wisp of snow foam suddenly fell from the tree, but because Yang Nianzu was nervous, he moved under his feet, and touched some snow.

Yang Fan was stunned, his figure suddenly drifted away from the place like a ghost, Yang Fan looked up suddenly, and saw his son lying on the top of the tree holding the trunk, looking at him with an embarrassed face. Yang Fan turned his face and shouted in a deep voice: "You little rabbit cub, why are you climbing so high?" Do you want to see the hanged man? ”

Yang Nianzu is not afraid of the earth, he is afraid that he, the old man, will be trained by his father, Yang Nianzu replied: "Daddy, child...... The child wants to help his sister ......"

Yang Nianzu was about to confess, when he suddenly saw the situation of the neighbor outside the wall, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Wow! Daddy, you're so right! Standing here, there really is a hanged ghost to see! A group of hanged ghosts, not spectacular! ”
