Tang Dynasty good father-in-law

However, Li Shimin has more than 20 daughters. Compared with those princesses in the Han Dynasty who were not worried, these princesses of Li Shimin are relatively stable.

Of course, it is impossible for every princess to be kind and virtuous. For example, a certain Princess Gaoyang is famous even in later generations.

But counting, there are not many princesses like Li Shimin who live for a long time, and there are even many princesses who left Li Shimin first, which made Shu An look a little puzzled.

Could it be that there is something wrong in the palace, otherwise how could it be so, but this question is temporarily buried in the bottom of my heart.

"Master, do you want to consider Rengui's marriage?"

Laifu's eyes flickered, and there was a trace of confusion on his face.

Because none of the masters of the family were married, he didn't expect to consider the marriage of his disciples now.

Shu An was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect Laifu to bring up this matter, but then he nodded, feeling that there was indeed a need.

You must know that after Rengui is conferred this time, it is impossible for him to be promoted in the short term, no matter how much credit he has made.

At that time, Li Shimin must use other means, such as promotion above the official position, or just giving marriage to Qin Huaiyu.

You must know that it is not easy to be Li Shimin's son-in-law, plus the royal affairs, even Shu An does not want to involve this student too deeply.

"My lord, the eldest grandson once asked the people in the mansion about Rengui."

Just as Shu An was thinking, Lai Fu's voice continued to sound, but it was already obvious in the words.

That is, Changsun Wuji also fell in love with Xue Rengui, and seemed to want to take the first step and snatch this son-in-law.

Even Shu An couldn't help being a little funny this time, it could be said that Changsun Wuji had a foresight.

Although Xue Rengui is only 14 years old, this is the way it is in this era, and it is not surprising to marry a wife at this age.

For example, if the eldest grandson Wugou hadn't stopped him, he would have married Li Shimin at the age of 13. It was because of the wits and courage between Shu An and Li Shimin that he barely postponed it for three years.

"Wait for Rengui to come back and ask about this matter. After being named uncle, he will definitely be given a mansion, and it's time to start a family."

After a long time, Shu An's faint voice sounded.

Chapter 182 The Goods and the Emperor's Family

"Tread, step!"

At dusk, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the courtyard of the Shu Mansion.

It's just that Shu An stood in front of a blank piece of paper, and didn't write down for a long time, as if he was thinking about something.

A vigorous figure of a young man appeared, dressed in military uniform, but the anxious expression on his face did not match this attire.

"Student Xue Rengui has returned safely, meeting the teacher!"

Seeing his teacher's figure, Xue Rengui's eyes lit up and he knelt on the ground and said, with a hint of sincerity in his words.

A few years ago, he resolutely traveled all over the country with his teacher, and the teacher's teachings often appeared in his mind.

Even after he has established his reputation now, he still hasn't changed in front of the teacher. It's that Xue Rengui.

Wearing armor, it is not so easy to kneel down, but Xue Rengui did it without hesitation.

"He is already Uncle An Bei of the Tang Dynasty. If outsiders see this scene, they still don't know how to arrange it."

Shu An calmed down from his thoughts and spoke slowly, his words seemed to carry a trace of emotion.

"Teacher, you are not afraid of these arrangements."

But Xue Rengui, who heard his teacher's words, said with a smile on his face, and he couldn't help but feel a little kind when he heard his teacher's words again.

"Get up, your growth rate is much faster than I imagined."

There was a trace of complexity in Shu An's eyes, and he said that if Xue Rengui was sent to the grassland at the beginning, he did not expect this student to make great achievements.

It's a good start. Even if you can't be knighted when you come back, there is still hope for a captaincy position.

We must know that in this era, even these nobles who want to become captains have to start from the bottom step by step, without exception.

No cronyism has happened, of course there is still preferential treatment for honored children.

But he didn't expect that this student had given him a surprise and made such a big commotion on the grassland.

"It all depends on the teacher's teaching."

Xue Rengui stood up slowly and said with a trace of respect on his face, standing beside his teacher, as if he had not gone to the grassland before.

Shu An shook his head, and didn't continue to argue about this topic. Obviously, this issue is destined to lead to no results.

Xue Rengui is still the same Xue Rengui back then, but he knows that this young man has always had a dream in his heart, which is to revive his own lineage.

Unlike Wang Xuance, although Xue Rengui was a poor young man, he was born in the southern ancestral house of the Xue family in Hedong. Although the Xue family declined during this period.

But as one of the six surnames in Kansai, the background still exists. Of course, this has nothing to do with Xue Rengui. After all, the line that Xue Rengui belongs to obviously belongs to the branch of the house.

You must know that there are quite a few such housing divisions, and only the most famous ones will be remembered, and Xue Rengui wants to prove it for Nan Zufang.

Of course, the reason why Xue Rengui can't forget this incident is that this line did not fall into the hands of his father, and in the end his father died because of depression.

Xue Rengui passed away when he was young, and the child who witnessed all this had already made up his mind secretly in his heart, but he was still confused before meeting Shu An.

Until now, the depression in Xue Rengui's heart has been completely liberated, at least his personality is obviously much brighter, which makes Shu An somewhat relieved.

After thinking of this, a smile appeared on Shu An's face, and he suddenly knew what to write in his mind.

When he left before, he promised to write a letter for this disciple and wait for him to return, but he has already broken his promise, so this one must be fulfilled.

Shu An wrote slowly, Xue Rengui at the side also concentrated his eyes on this piece of rice paper. In fact, he was also very curious about the teacher's comments on him.

"Learn the art of writing and martial arts, and the goods and the emperor's family."

Xue Rengui murmured softly, saying the words written on the rice paper, and his heart couldn't help feeling emotional.

It can be said that the teacher's evaluation of him is extremely high, especially the two words of civil and military.

"This word is the evaluation promised at the beginning, I hope you will not disappoint this word written for the teacher."

Seeing Xue Rengui's happy expression, Shu An couldn't help saying slowly, this sentence is the most authentic evaluation of this student.

It was the words that he suddenly thought of, although Xue Rengui has a high level of martial arts, Xue Rengui does have extraordinary talent.

But it doesn't mean that Xue Rengui is much inferior in terms of literary talent, it's just covered up.

"Teacher, Rengui, please remember!"

After hearing what his teacher said, Xue Rengui said with a serious expression on his face.

When Xue Rengui said this word carefully and put it away, Shu An's voice sounded again.

"Now that you are successful and famous, it's time to think about starting a family."

After the voice fell, Xue Rengui couldn't help being stunned, he didn't expect his teacher to talk about this topic.

"In fact, with the attention of the people of the world, you have become the favorite of many noble families in Chang'an."

Shu An smiled at Xue Rengui's astonishment, and then explained that there is a saying that family and everything prosper.

If you spend too much energy on this matter, it won't be worth it, so Shu An doesn't want this student to waste too much energy on this matter.

After Xue Rengui got the favor of Li Shimin, an emperor, it can be said that he has attracted a lot of attention.

Some people hope that Xue Rengui will make some mistakes, and some people hope that he can step on his position. It can be said that Xue Rengui must consider three points in every move.

Xue Rengui is different from him, he doesn't have any identity, as long as he stays in the mansion or academy, even if someone wants to find a job, it will be difficult.

As time goes by, no one pays attention to him anymore. After Xue Rengui said, he will go to the military camp to go to court every day, etc. Naturally, it is easy for people to notice some mistakes or not.

At this time, after Xue Rengui explained with the teacher, there was a hint of understanding on his face, but he showed a look of embarrassment at this time.

There was some hesitation on Xue Rengui's face. Looking at his teacher, he seemed to have something to say, but he seemed afraid of the teacher's anger.

"Is there anything between us master and apprentice that needs to be concealed? Did the master ever force you to do something?"

Shu An couldn't help laughing and said, how could he not know Xue Rengui's thoughts, and was afraid that he would make a marriage contract for him.

Chapter 183 Returning to the roots, returning home with wealth and honor

We must know that the master-student relationship in this era is more like a relative than some relatives. The saying "a teacher for a day, a father for a lifetime" is not a simple statement.

But it is true. For example, when Confucius’ favorite student Yan Hui passed away, Confucius was so sad that he sighed: "Heaven mourns! Heaven mourns!"

When Yan Hui's father was too poor to attend the funeral, Yan Hui's father asked Confucius for a loan, and Confucius sold the ox cart to bury Yan Hui, which can illustrate the relationship between teachers and students.

And following Shu An's words, Xue Rengui showed a trace of shame on his face, and he seemed to have misunderstood the teacher.

"You can see where you send your letters every year as a teacher."

Shu An's voice continued to sound, it was true that this Xue Rengui had a childhood sweetheart.

Even after following him for so many years without breaking any letters, it would be strange if there is nothing tricky in it.

Of course, Shu An has never been a man who beat mandarin ducks, not to mention that there are many records in history about this childhood sweetheart Mrs. Xue Rengui.

So on top of this matter, he just wanted to see Xue Rengui's reaction, but fortunately, this disciple did not forget this childhood sweetheart even if he became rich.

"teacher."

Xue Rengui couldn't help but feel a burning feeling on his face, as if his secret for many years had been exposed.

But he was also secretly relieved, because his teacher didn't stop him.

"You have been following as a teacher for several years, but have you ever thought about going back and taking a look?"

Shu An's eyes fell on Xue Rengui's body and he said slowly, counting it, he hadn't passed that place since he took Xue Rengui away that year.

Naturally, Xue Rengui never went back, and never even told him about his hometown.

Although some seem to be indifferent to their hometown, Shu An knows that the more indifferent things on the surface are often the ones he wants to protect the most.

As for the reason, Shu An is also clear, that is the concept of people in this era, if they are not successful, why would they go back to their hometown to face their parents and neighbors.

Even in later generations, there are many people who have similar thoughts, let alone this era.

Wang Xuance is an example, and Xue Rengui is the same, but Xue Rengui hides his emotions better.

Xue Rengui's face froze for a moment, as if he didn't expect his teacher to talk about it, but then his heart began to beat.

He did have some hesitation in the past, but now he has become Uncle An Bei, one of the nobles, and he has achieved fame.

"Wealth and honor do not return home, like walking in brocade clothes at night."

Seeing Xue Rengui's emotional state, Shu An added a bit of anger and said.

After a long time, Xue Rengui nodded his head, as if he had agreed to the matter, but the main reason was that his heart had moved.

"Go back, change the armor, and prepare for two days. The teacher has already prepared things, and you can ask the emperor to resign."

Shu An's voice sounded slowly, it could be said that he had made arrangements for this disciple, after so many years, it was time to go back and take a look.

After all, his place of birth was in Chang'an, but for him who traveled through time, he still felt a sense of unfamiliarity. Which hometown in his memory was destined not to return.

"is teacher!"

Seeing his teacher's thoughts racing, Xue Rengui couldn't help but said.

Then carefully took the words written by the teacher before and retreated, he knew that his teacher remembered something again.

During the few years of following the teacher, he had seen the teacher's demeanor before, and he was already used to it.

"Falling leaves return to their roots!"

Seeing Xue Rengui's leaving figure, Shu An murmured softly with blurred eyes.

.......

Jiangzhou Longmen, Hedong Road

In a wealthy mansion, a young girl with cardamom age showed a hint of joy on her face, looking at the envelope in her hand.

"Brother Rengui has arrived in Chang'an, but unfortunately I haven't seen what Chang'an looks like yet."

The girl murmured softly, with a hint of clarity in her words. Although she knew that this letter was written a few months ago, it was enough to be pleasantly surprised.

"Miss, something is wrong."

Just at this time, an anxious voice sounded in the girl's ear, with a hint of anxiety on her face, it was a girl dressed as a maid.

"Xiaoyuan, what happened?"

The girl frowned slightly and said, with a hint of doubt in her words.
