The first Taoist priest of the Tang Dynasty

"How old are you, and you will be able to marry someone in a few years. Your acting like a baby is much uglier than when you were a child." Xiu looked at her daughter as she was when she was a child, hugging her arms and acting like a baby.

Although she said she was beautiful in her heart, she never forgot to criticize her.

"I'm not going to get married. From now on, I'll be with my parents and my brother." Xiao Hua is still the same as when she was a child, immature, and she hasn't grown up.

The whole family was happy and harmonious, which made Zhong Wen feel a little dazed.

Usually this kind of life is not uncommon.

But Zhong Wen has experienced so many life and death scenes, and he cherishes what is in front of him even more.

Silent all night.

As the sun rose, the County Marquis Mansion had already finished breakfast.

The little ones have already gone to the school to study.

Even the youngest, Xiao Wu, likes to go to the school with his sisters and brothers.

Perhaps, Xiao Wu didn't go to the school to study, but just liked to play with these brothers and sisters.

He is the only one playing at home, and he rarely even goes to the village.

In the past, Zhong Wen's family seldom went out to the village before they were honored with titles, and it was even rarer afterward.

Don't talk about going to the door by yourself, people in the village dare not go to their own door, except for those who are begging to come.

Therefore, since Xiaowu was a child, he could only be with his parents, and the days without children to play with him were unhappy.

Now, in Chang'an City, with so many brothers and sisters, it is natural to follow them every day.

Even if he was sitting in the study hall and scribbling with a pen, as his master, Yue Li would only smile and not blame him.

But if they were replaced by Xiaohua or Ren Zhu, they would have to slap their palms.

In the county marquis's mansion, when Zhong Wen was sitting in the pavilion meditating, the concierge rushed over and reported to him panting heavily: "Dao, Daoist, the emperor is here!"

As soon as Zhong Wen heard it, he understood the meaning of the queen's visit.

Although Zhong Wen didn't want to see Empress Changsun, she was an empress after all, and as the master himself, he must welcome him into the mansion.

Regardless of the responsibility of being a courtier or being a Taoist, Zhong Wen had to go see the queen no matter how much he didn't want to.

Empress Changsun was carried into the mansion.

Her health is not very good. This time, such a big incident happened at her brother's house. As a younger sister, when her brother has nothing to do, she can only let her come to intercede.

"Queen, you are in poor health. If you have anything to do, you just need to send a message. Why bother to come to my mansion." After entering the mansion and the hall, Zhong Wen saluted the eldest grandson empress road.

"Zhong Shaobao, I don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. I'm here this time. If you think about it, you know why I came. Zhong Shaobao, can you forgive my two nephews for this matter? You are begging for a favor." Empress Changsun followed Zhong Wen's words, and also bowed her hands in return.

"Empress, you are going to kill me. I don't dare to accept your gift. As for what you said, empress, you should know after all. As a son of man, if I can't protect my parents well, then I will violate the law." In the name of the Son of Man, please forgive me, the Empress." Of course Zhong Wen knew why the Empress came here.

But Zhong Wen did not expect that Empress Changsun directly explained her intentions as soon as she arrived, which made Zhong Wen have to make another evaluation of the eldest grandson's family.

From the words of Empress Changsun, Zhong Wen could tell.

Empress Changsun attaches great importance to this Changsun family.

Maybe it's because a daughter married Changsun Chong, maybe it's because of the deep brother-sister relationship, or maybe it's because of Li Shimin's thoughts.

As for the reason, Zhong Wen couldn't see it for the time being.

My father and mother were almost forced to kneel down. As a son, Zhong Wen naturally couldn't let this matter be settled so easily.

Fortunately, I came back in time. If I stayed in the Western Regions for a year or so, not to mention my master and younger brother died, maybe my family would also die.

Of course, this can only be said to be a continuous follow-up, but it did not happen after all.

But Zhong Wen still wants to vaccinate all the nobles in Chang'an City, let them know, don't do things too badly, if you really do it badly, then I, Zhong Wen, can kill everything in your family.

Empress Changsun was also taken aback when she first heard it.

She really didn't expect that Zhong Wen would refuse so quickly, without even thinking about it.

According to her usual behavior, as long as she stepped forward, everything could be resolved, and it was impossible for anyone to reject her.

If this happened to ordinary people, Empress Changsun might have frowned tightly at this moment, showing an image of calmness and prestige.

However, when she recalled her husband Li Shimin's words, she already knew what she had said.

Chapter 5 Eighty

"Oh! I also know that the two of them did something wrong, but after all, they are still young, you Zhong Shaobao can't argue with the two children, can you?" Empress Changsun stared at Zhong Wen and said with a sigh.

"Child? I can treat Changsun Wen as a child, but what about Changsun Chong? He is 17 years old now, and I am only half a year older than him, right? Besides, his family background and what he has learned should not be teaching. The family is very strict, is the court the most important thing?"

"Furthermore, let's say that the eldest grandson Wen is bullying Orion in Xishi. Is this the eldest grandson's family tradition? Or is it because he has a father who is a duke, so he can do whatever he wants? My brother's fault, I don't know how to repent, and bring Someone came to the door and forced my father and mother to kneel down, I would like to ask the queen, what kind of reasoning is this?"

Zhong Wen felt contemptuous in his heart when he heard Empress Changsun's words.

A man as big as Chang Sun Chong, don't he know right from wrong?

However, what Zhong Wen said was true.

As far as the honorable children of Chang'an City are concerned, which one is not bullying others.

No matter how good the family education is, it is the same.

On the other hand, compared to Zhong Wen's younger sister Xiaohua, Zhong Wen felt that compared with these honorable children, his own younger sister would go to heaven.

Moreover, my little sister is still jealous of evil, so she must take care of such deceitful things.

It's just that, Xiaohua's control, something happened.

"This..." Empress Changsun really didn't know how to respond to Zhong Wen's words.

She originally thought that Zhong Wen, a little Taoist priest, would not be able to speak so well, but when he opened his mouth, he brought out all the big principles.

Empress Changsun, who had lost her mind, stared at Zhong Wen in a daze.

This made Zhong Wen a little embarrassed to be stared at.

She is the queen of today, and she is just a small county lord.

If Empress Changsun was displeased, maybe a few words on the bedside could make Zhong Wen lose the County Marquis.

However, Empress Changsun generally would not interfere in political affairs. Besides, Li Shimin could treat Zhong Wen as a treasure right now.

Furthermore, there is Li Daoling on top of Zhong Wen.

If Li Shimin and his wife really want to suppress Zhong Wen, maybe Li Daoling will go to Chang'an and reprimand Li Shimin painfully.

"Queen, I don't want to expand this matter, but my father and mother also need to be famous. Although our family was once a tenant, this dignity cannot be trampled on by others. Since the queen came here to intercede for the two of them, I Zhong Wen is not such an unreasonable person." Zhong Wen was embarrassed by the Queen's stare, so he patted his head and said.

Empress Changsun was overjoyed when she heard this.

Just now she saw Zhong Wen was so excited, but in the blink of an eye there was a change.

"Zhong Shaobao, tell me, as long as you can forgive the two of them, you can do whatever Zhong Shaobao wants them to do, so that your father and mother can vent the suffocation in their chests." Said.

"I don't make it difficult for others. As long as the two of them kneel outside for three days, then kneel down and kowtow nine times to my father and mother, and pay the Orion family a thousand coins, then let it go." Zhong Wen said slowly.

Kneeling for three days was Zhong Wen's original plan.

As for the theory of nine knocks and losing money, it was what Zhong Wen had just thought.

Perhaps, Zhong Wen's request was too much.

But Zhong Wen has never thought about it or not, as long as he can be worthy of his parents, Zhong Wen will not care about others.

Zhong Wen is just an ordinary person, a mortal.

Thoughts are just ordinary thoughts, as long as the family is not bullied, everything will be fine.

But when someone wants to bully his family, he must chop off his hand.

Now, Empress Changsun came to intercede for her two nephews, and she could only do this, which could be regarded as a favor for Empress Changsun.

"Okay, I agree to this for them." After thinking about it carefully, Empress Changsun nodded.

Originally, it was not Zhong Wen's intention, but Li Shimin's intention that the elder brother, Sun Chong, knelt outside the county marquis' mansion.

Now, Zhong Wen's condition has been made out, if Empress Changsun refuses to agree, there is no need to discuss this matter further.

Furthermore, the misfortune caused by Chang Sun Chong and the two brothers, kneeling for three days, performing nine prostrations, and then paying money to the hunter, this can be regarded as a painful lesson.

Empress Changsun had also thought deeply about Zhong Wen's request.

She knew that Zhong Wen paid great attention to his parents and family.

Her two nephews caused such a big trouble, if she didn't let out Zhong Wen's anger, she couldn't predict whether the eldest grandson's mansion would be flattened by Zhong Wen's sword in the end.

She knows how Zhong Wen behaves.

To say that it is ruthless is actually against the enemy.

If her elder brother's family became Zhong Wen's enemies, the consequences were really not something she could bear.

"Empress, you are not in good health. If there is nothing wrong, please go back to the palace and rest." Zhong Wen got up, ready to see off the guests.

Speaking of the matter here, it can be regarded as an explanation to her eldest grandson empress.

"My body has always been like this, and it can only be like this if I rest or not. When you return to your hometown, please say hello to your master for me." Empress Changsun saw Zhong Wen get up, and said this again, knowing that she should gone.

In the past, she was the one who gave away, but now, she is the one who is given away.

However, Empress Changsun didn't care about these details, and she was not such a petty person.

On the other hand, Zhong Wen seemed a little cautious.

"I will definitely bring the Queen's words." Zhong Wen replied.

Afterwards, Zhong Wen sent Empress Changsun and her party out of the mansion.

When they arrived at the gate, the eldest grandson Wen knelt straight, looking at the eldest grandson empress who was being carried out with a pleading look in his eyes.

"You guys! Oh!!! Kneel down properly!" Empress Changsun sat on the stretcher, looking at her two nephews and sighed.

"Auntie, save me!!!" But the eldest grandson Wen was very ignorant at this time, and shouted loudly.

Empress Changsun shook her head and was carried away, leaving the two brothers on the spot.

"woo woo woo woo!!……"

Seeing his aunt and queen ignoring them, Changsun Wen began to panic, and then howled loudly.

Such an earth-shattering howling sound made the people in Yongping Square even more puzzled by the commotion.

Zhong Wen didn't even look at the elder Sun Chong and his brothers, after seeing the queen leave, he turned around and walked towards the gate of the mansion.

"Close the gate." Zhong Wen confessed to the porter after entering the mansion.

Just now, with the arrival of Empress Changsun, the door of the County Marquis Mansion must be wide open.

The Queen is here, so it is impossible to close the gate of the County Marquis Mansion, let the Queen enter the mansion through the ear door, if this is the case, then Zhong Wen is disrespectful to the Queen.

After Empress Changsun left the County Marquis's Mansion, she did not return to the palace in a hurry, but went straight to the Changsun Mansion.

"My lord, this Zhong Shaobao is too presumptuous. Your lord, you have come to the door in person, and he still has such a stinky face. This is not for the lord's face." A female officer next to the eldest grandson empress looked indignant. Said to Empress Changsun.

My lord, naturally I am addressing her as Empress Changsun.

People in the palace, or female officials, usually use the word "lord" when addressing the queen.

As for the saint, relatively speaking, it is also possible.

When Empress Changsun heard what the female official said, she frowned and said, "Talk your mouth."

Immediately, the female officer clapped her lips in fright.

On this street, she dared to speak like this as a young female official, it was considered good for her if Empress Changsun didn't scold her.

In the palace, Empress Changsun was generally very kind.

But today, she can't tolerate other people's irresponsible remarks, and even more so, she doesn't allow people around her to make random comments about important officials in the court.

Li Shimin has often whispered in her ears about the importance of Zhong Wen.

After more than half an hour, Empress Changsun and the others arrived at Changsun's mansion.

"Little sister, what's the matter?" As soon as Empress Changsun entered the Changsun Mansion, as an elder brother, he was in a hurry and asked his little sister for news.

"Alas!!!" Empress Changsun looked at the impatient brother in front of her, and let out another long sigh.

As a younger sister, of course she didn't want her elder brother to get angry.
