Tang Mansion.
"The king has arrived~~~~~"
As the attendants sang loudly, Tang Yu led a group of people in the mansion and knelt down to welcome him.
"Your Majesty, Tang Yu, the Minister of the Secretariat, is here to welcome the king. I didn't know that my king was coming, so I missed you from afar. Please forgive me for my sin."
"No courtesy." Xiao Yuan waved his hand. He was dressed in brocade clothes and had a jade hairpin. As he spoke, he naturally walked into the house.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Tang Yu stood up and followed him respectfully to lead the way.
He is the eldest son of the Tang Dynasty. His appearance is somewhat similar to that of Tang Yue, but he is not as handsome as Tang Yue. He is relatively gentle and elegant, with a well-groomed beard. He is a standard scholar.
The Tang Mansion is not small. After Xiao Yuan came in, he subconsciously looked around while walking and said casually: "Master Tang, you should get used to living in Qinzhou."
"Thank you for your kindness, your Majesty. Everything is fine." Tang Yu returned quickly.
"Yes." Xiao Yuan nodded and said, "Have you ever sent a letter to your brother Tang Yue?"
"Yes, I have personally sent a letter to him to tell him when he goes home." Tang Yu said.
Xiao Yuan sighed softly: "In this battle to expel foreign enemies, Tang Yue has made outstanding achievements and is powerful in northern Xinjiang. He must be the general of Zhenbei. I'm afraid he won't be willing to return to the capital and be granted the title."
Hearing this, Tang Yu's eyes widened immediately, and he said hurriedly: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, Tang Yue will definitely return to the capital and return to his life. How dare you live up to Your Majesty's kindness?"
His own younger brother can be granted the title of General Zhenbei. This is really important to the Tang family now! One can imagine how Tang Yu could not be nervous.
"I hope so." Xiao Yuan smiled slightly and changed the subject: "By the way, Mr. Tang, I heard that you have a little sister named Tang Chuchu, right?"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Have you grown hair now? Are you engaged?"
"It's really time to get married. I haven't been promised a wife yet. Recently, the ministers are also worrying about this matter." Tang Yu was a little confused.
After hearing what he said, Xiao Yuan had no intention of beating around the bush, and said after a while: "How about this, how about I take care of your Tang family's business? Help Miss Tang get a good family."
"Ah? This..." Regarding his sister's marriage, Tang Yu was naturally worried and hesitated.
Xiao Yuan pointed it out directly: "The family I told you about is Shangguan Wenruo. Shangguan is less than thirty. Not only is he rich in education, but more importantly, he has not married yet. In my opinion, this is not a bad idea. What a good marriage. Of course, this matter requires Tang Aiqing’s nod, so please think about it.”
"Ah?" Tang Yu was shocked again.
Who is Shangguan Wenruo? He is a well-deserved important minister. He has a high position and is young. Moreover, Tang Yu himself is a scholar. He himself admires Shangguan Wenruo. Now that he heard such news, he was a little stunned for a moment. Stunned.
It wasn't until Xiao Yaoyuan was a few steps away from him that he realized what he was doing. Then he quickly followed, knelt on the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "My lord, I thank you for your kindness."
"Oh? So, you agreed? Come on, get up and talk." As Xiao Yuan spoke, he also reached out and pulled him up.
Tang Yu stood up and became a little excited when he spoke: "This, this is a good marriage. It is my little sister's blessing to marry Mr. Shangguan. Your Majesty is so considerate of the Tang family, I can't thank you enough... "
"Haha, okay, okay, just now I was worried that you wouldn't agree." Xiao Yuan smiled heartily and said, "But when I say this, I'm afraid Miss Tang will have objections."
"No, no, no, it's absolutely impossible." Tang Yu waved his hands repeatedly, for fear that the matter would be ruined: "How can my little sister disagree with such a great marriage? Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will go and talk to my little sister about it later. This matter can be settled like this.”
"Okay, if Miss Tang doesn't have any objections, we can choose an auspicious day." Xiao Yuan was also in a good mood.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the marriage." Tang Yu was climbing up the ladder. The marriage with the Shangguan family would only bring great benefits to the Tang family without any disadvantages. As the eldest brother, his father Tang was no longer here, so how could he Don't worry about the family.
While they were talking, the two of them had almost reached the living room. Tang Yu naturally bent down and stretched out his hand: "Your Majesty, please."
Xiao Yuan understood what he meant, thought for a moment and said, "Forget it, I'll drink this tea another day and I won't bother Mr. Tang."
"Ah? Isn't this... a humble minister not showing good hospitality and neglecting the king?" Tang Yu said in fear.
"Huh? There's no need to be polite, just keep busy." After saying this, Xiao Yuan turned around and prepared to leave.
"Then... I would like to send you off to the king..."
After respectfully sending Xiao Yuan out of the mansion, and until the carriage had gone away, Tang Yu straightened up with his hands hunched over, and then quickly returned to the mansion. Unable to suppress the excitement on his face, he directed his hand down: "Quick, call Miss, come here."
The king came here today. For him, there are two great joyous events. One is his younger brother's military exploits, and the other is his younger sister's marriage. Either of these two events is of great importance to the current Tang family. important.
Not long after, Tang Chuchu came to the living room and asked directly as soon as he came in: "Brother, what did you call me for?"
Although she was dressed as a girl, she was holding a sword in her hand.
When Tang Yu saw this, he couldn't help but frown, and said displeasedly: "What does it look like for a daughter's family to wield swords and swords all day long!"
"Brother, I, the general of the Tang family, have been masters of martial arts for generations. I also want to imitate my second brother and conquer the battlefield." Tang Chuchu said.
The second brother in her mouth naturally refers to Tang Yue.
Tang Yu was very dissatisfied: "I want to learn from your second brother! He is just a warrior, brave and ruthless, brave but without any plan!"
"Hmph!" Tang Chuchu couldn't help but snorted slightly, tilting his head as he didn't know how to listen.
Seeing her like this, Tang Yu had no choice but to turn the topic back to business: "Chu Chu, did you know that the king is here today? He even arranged a marriage for you."
"Ah!?" Tang Chuchu opened her mouth.
Tang Yu continued: "This is the king's order and cannot be violated. Besides, you really should get married."
"This, why is this so easy? Your Majesty wants to take care of this business." Tang Chuchu was puzzled and her expression became a little anxious.
Tang Yu glanced at her and said calmly: "Do you know which family you are betrothed to?"
"It's just a promise, I haven't agreed yet!" Tang Chuchu immediately retorted.
Tang Yu did not dwell on this issue and went straight to the point: "The other party is Shangguan Wenruo, the leader of the scholars."
"Is it him!?" Tang Chuchu was slightly surprised. She had actually met Shangguan Wenruo, and of course she knew him.
"How is it? Is it worthy of my little sister?" Tang Yu asked deliberately.
Tang Chuchu blushed: "Tch! I'm just a literati. I hate literati the most! If you want to marry me, you have to ask about the sword in my hand..."
