Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 1983 Taking a Concubine to an Old Friend
The Xiao family is a rich family with a large population, not only many sons, but also many daughters.

A group of Yingying and Yanyan gathered around the gate of the back house, all of them were purple, with gorgeous silk and satin clothes on their bodies, Fang Jun was dazzled by seeing them, they stretched out their hands to ask Fang Jun for a reward, chirping like a hundred birds chasing a phoenix, making a lot of noise There was a roar in Fang Jun's ears, and his head grew bigger...

Fortunately, he had already prepared, and Qu Tuquan was carrying a big basket, inside which were red envelopes made of red paper, printed with exquisite patterns, and inside were brand new copper coins.

When a female family member came to ask for it, Qu Tuquan handed it over with a smile, and took the opportunity to touch Su Bai's little hand, which caused the female family members to scream in surprise, blushing and backed away, staring at Qu Tuquan, who was so tall. The disciple's eyes were full of resentment and surprise, but there was not much anger...

The atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty is open, especially on such a festive day like today, and this level of molestation is within everyone's tolerance.

Taking concubines is not a formal marriage after all, and all procedures should be shortened.

After a commotion, Xiao Shu'er was supported by a dowry girl and sat in the sedan chair carried by Fang's family. After the sedan chair curtain was covered, the sedan chair bearer, who was acted by Fang Jun's personal soldiers, got up and carried the small sedan chair swinging slowly. Exit the corner gate on the side of Duke Song's mansion.

The status of a concubine is extremely low in this era.

Not only do you have to carry it in through the side door when you enter your husband's house, but you also have to carry it out through the side door of your mother's house when you get married...

Even if it's the daughter of the Xiao family, even if the Fang family becomes a local rich man, it's the same.

In front of Song Guogong's mansion, there was a loud sound of gongs and drums.

The common people in the workshop had already flocked here, and the discussions were bustling.It is not uncommon for the Xiao family to marry a daughter, but who can marry a daughter of the Xiao family as a concubine, except the royal family, who has such a status?It's just unbelievable.However, Fang Jun has a very good reputation among the people. When he walked out of the gate in auspicious clothes, turned over and stepped on the bay red horse, and rode forward in a heroic manner, the people on the side of the road applauded.

"Fang Erlang, great job!"

The common people really think Fang Junniu, and they all like to hear it.

But he yelled at the person who sent the Xiao family to his relatives, and was extremely embarrassed...

What is "Fang Erlang is good"?My daughter deserves to be Fang Jun's concubine, right?Or is it that my daughter finally came out to be a concubine, and you are just happy to see it?

……

The Chongrenfang side is more lively, and the neighbors here are more familiar with Fang Jun. They know that although the outside world says that he is a "stick", he is usually the most approachable. All the servants and maids in the house felt that Fang Erlang was a gentle man.

He has a good temper, can't treat others, has a high official position, and is talented, who wouldn't want him to have a good life?

So from the moment they entered the gate of Chongrenfang, the crowd was noisy. From time to time, someone called out words such as "Fang Erlang Gonghou Wandai" and "Hundred Years of Love", and the atmosphere became more and more enthusiastic.

Fang Jun sat on the horse and walked slowly, showing a polite smile, bowing frequently, and returning the courtesy.

Dozens of firecrackers had already been set up in front of the gate of the mansion. Red firecrackers covered half of the street in front of the gate. When the twisters were lit, the sound of crackling firecrackers was deafening, and the smoke filled the whole street, as if there was a fairy coming. It's a beast...

The bright red cannon skin exploded and danced all over the sky with the flames, which was very festive.

Fang Jun got off his horse in front of the gate of the mansion, entered through the gate, and carried his aunt's sedan chair around the main gate, entered the mansion through the side gate, and carried it directly to the back house.

……

The house was decorated with lanterns and festoons, full of joy.

There is an elder brother Fang Yizhi in the outside who takes care of the food. Although this dear brother hides in the study room all day long and has the posture of "becoming a fairy", but his brother has a concubine, but he has to come forward, so he can't let the old man take the lead, right?Fortunately, although he has a pedantic temperament, he is meticulous and steady when it comes to etiquette, and no one can find a fault.

What's more, there are Li Siwen, Qu Tuquan and other friends who are taking care of them. These guys usually dare to be in the same hole every day when they are messing around. It's a no-brainer to come down.

The back house has her elder sister, Princess Han, cooking. On this occasion, Wu Meiniang is not allowed to show up. No matter how capable she is, she is always a concubine...

There are many guests in the front yard.

Even if it's just a concubine, who made Fang Jun flourish in the officialdom now?It's the same in ancient and modern times, this is the normal state of officialdom.Groups of middle-level officials came to congratulate and present congratulatory gifts. Seeing that the Fang family did not throw a big banquet, they obviously did not intend to make a big show, so they went to Fang Jun to say a few words of congratulations, and left one after another.

But Li Ji, Li Jing, Cen Wenwen, Li Xiaogong and other big bosses sat firmly. After all, with Fang Xuanling's incense and affection for so many years, they would definitely stay for a wedding banquet.

Changsun Wuji didn't come today, which is reasonable. Right now, the Fang family and Changsun's family are not only strangers, but also confronted with each other. Changsun Wuji's character seems peaceful but he is so proud that he is boundless. How can he come to the door Congratulations to the Fang family?
But the face of the officialdom is there, so he sent Changsun Huan to come...

At the main entrance, Fang Jun and Changsun Huan greeted each other.

These two childhood playmates are now drifting apart and become strangers.

Changsun Huan is tall and straight, with a handsome appearance. Now that Changsun Chong fled to the end of the world, he has already become the heir of the family that Changsun Wuji prefers, and he has become more calm and capable. He is already an outstanding young handsome man, and he looks even more extraordinary.

"Congratulations to Erlang, I've heard that the daughter of the Xiao family is a beautiful woman, beautiful and beautiful. When this marriage was established, many Jiangnan disciples sighed and lost their souls. They wished to replace her. Even the disciples of Chang'an were envious. Now that the flower fell to Fang's family, Erlang invited heaven's luck, this kind of luck is simply against the sky, really good luck."

"Hehe, what's there to be envious of? It's fate to hit eight feet, but it's hard to find ten feet. It's fate, and you can't be envious. Is it possible that Erlang is also envious? Envy is enough. If you are too persistent, you will toss and turn sleepless nights Not good."

"Erlang's words are wrong. After all, you can't expect the sky to fall, right? People, we still have to fight. Maybe tomorrow I will find a role that is not inferior to this beauty Xiao?"

"Haha, as the saying goes, sometimes you must have something in your life, and there is no time in your life. Don't force it, just let it go, don't get into the horns."

……

Both of them are the second in the family, and both are called Erlang.

Talking and laughing at Yanyan, bright and beautiful, but they are talking about beauty, but they know in their hearts that what the other party is talking about is definitely not a beauty... One is jealous of the other's good luck, and the other is satirizing the other's utilitarianism.

The expression on Changsun Huan's face was slightly stiff, and after a long while, he sighed faintly, and said: "The road ahead is thorny, if you don't fight, how can you overcome the thorns and get a glimpse of the road? You and I have different identities, and we stand in different positions. My state of mind may not be the same as yours. You can feel it."

Fang Jun was silent.

He admitted that what Zhang Sun Huan said was reasonable, no one is a sage, and one cannot criticize the path chosen by others.

But the truth is the truth, once there is a crack in some things, it is difficult to restore it to its original state, the mirror is like this, and so is friendship.

Then he cupped his hands and said calmly: "Thank you Erlang for coming to congratulate me, go and sit inside, my younger brother still has to entertain distinguished guests, so I'm sorry that I can't accompany you."

Changsun Huan's eyes were deep, he took a breath, and said with a smile: "You are welcome, Erlang will go to work on his own, but take care of Brother Yu."

After saying that, he took a deep look at Fang Jun, turned around and walked into the main hall.

Fang Jun raised his head and looked at the sky filled with sunset and sunset, but his mood was overcast.As a man in two lifetimes, he has never been the kind of character who would do whatever it takes to achieve his goals. He has prospered all the way in the officialdom, and he has never seriously planned anything. Everything can be said to be natural.

Being promoted, there may not be too many surprises; being punished, demoted and dismissed, I have never regretted it.

There are too many choices in life, and there is much more space than family and officialdom. Why do you have to do your best here?
Looking back, looking through the open front door, I saw Changsun Huan walking steadily into the hall, sitting among a group of bigwigs, as the next generation head of the Changsun family, with a modest smile on his face, Participate in an unknown topic.

It looks like a fish in water and got what it wants...

"Tsk tsk, look at that guy who looks like a dog. He really regards himself as the head of the eldest grandson's family? That fake smile on his face, bah!"

At some point, Li Siwen, Cheng Chubi, and Qu Tuquan all came behind him, looking at the eldest Sun Huan who was talking and laughing in the lobby, they all expressed their contempt.

Although some of Changsun Huan's actions have not been put on the table, but many of them are small actions, these people are all clear in their hearts.

No matter how dandy the children of the aristocratic family, few of them are really stupid in terms of scheming...

Fang Jun chuckled, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Who cares what other people do? Everyone has their own ambitions. Since some people's eyes are caught by the three-acre land at home, they can't lift their heads to look at the sky, the sea, the sun and the moon." Xingchen, as a friend, blessings are enough, how can you impose your will on others? Don't dawdle here, hurry up to greet the guests, a certain one is still waiting for the wedding ceremony!"

"Hey! You say no, but you are still so dirty in your heart? Shameless!"

Who was that expression of unwillingness to accept a concubine originally for?
Several people gave their middle fingers at the same time.
