Tang Xuan

The days are gradually approaching June, and there is some joy in Mu Gong's mansion.Lang Huai is about to reach the crown, and from then on he is a real adult and the real patriarch of the Lang family.

On this day, the two of them read the news from the Western Regions together at Shang Zixuan, and Cong Canglanhu suddenly devoted himself to practicing Buddhism, and she wanted to retreat and pay homage to the Buddha for several months, leaving all important matters in Tibet to Princess Gucheng.Such shocking actions naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of some ministers, but judging from the letters, they did not cause turmoil in Tubo.

Lang Huai put down the letter, rubbed his swollen eyes and said, "I really can't figure out what this Zanpu is thinking. It stands to reason that he shouldn't be so risky."

Shang Zixuan couldn't figure it out, so he just said: "The news from many sources, Cong Canglanhu even killed the sons born to other concubines in order to please the princess of Gucheng. King Puguang seems to be the heir."

"Sister Gucheng has the trust of Cong Canglanhu." Mingda ate the grapes and said, "She won't be reconciled, maybe she wants to be an empress."

Lang Huai laughed, and didn't take the joke seriously, and said: "Now the military pay, food and grass sent to the Western Regions should not be tampered with, and our firm can make more money. I just don't know which city Xue Shuai is stationed in now." Li, what an old fox."

After the three of them talked about serious matters, Lang Huai hesitated for a moment, and said: "Sister Shang, now Uncle Zhaoxue and Yi'er are dealing with each other in Shangguan's mansion, can you rest assured?"

Shang Zixuan smiled and said, "Naturally don't worry."

Ming Da pulled Lang Huai back and said: "I understand what's on my sister's mind. You can stay wherever you want in Weiyang residence of Duke Mu's mansion. I'll talk to daddy."

Lang Huai was still waiting to persuade, but Ming Da pinched the soft flesh of his waist, so he had to give up.After having lunch together at noon, Shang Zixuan looked tired, and the two of them bid farewell and left.

"You, you've been smart for a lifetime, but you've been confused for a while." Mingda jumped up and pinched the tip of Lang Huai's nose, and said, "Sister Shang doesn't want to restore her identity, one is to continue to be in charge of your family, and the other is that she doesn't want to marry. And she doesn't want to marry someone else." It's serious, don't talk about it in the future."

Lang Huai took her little hand and led her to walk step by step. Only then did he understand, and said, "So it's because of this. No wonder you said you were going to intercede. I was really reckless."

"Hmph, how are you being reckless? You're just being incomprehensible!" Ming Da thought of the idiot's previous stupidity, and inevitably became angry, squinting his eyes and said: "Don't you know how to avoid taboos, you have to make sister Zhu sad."

Sometimes this person doesn't care, and dares to flirt with her in front of people.Although Ming Da didn't care too much, but who knows Zhu Jun's thoughts on Lang Huai?Mingda couldn't help feeling guilty.

Lang Huai was at the end of his words for a while, and suddenly stopped and stood still, looking at Mingda with burning eyes, and said: "I don't know what other people are thinking. I just ask you, if someone forces me to marry again in the future, will you be willing?"

Mingda sighed, put his hand into Lang Huai's palm, leaned against him, put his forehead against Lang Huai's chin, and said softly: "How could you be willing?"

Only then did Lang Huai heave a sigh of relief, shook his head slightly and swayed Mingda's bright and clean forehead, and couldn't help but lowered his head to peck, and said: "Mr. Zhu is a good girl. I always knew that she was very good. If I fall in love with her How can I not know? She doesn't want to leave, and I can't bear to force her to go. But don't worry, she is outspoken and doesn't hide her thoughts. I think she is happy most of the time, and it is the only thing we can give compensate."

Mingda didn't say a word, only responded slightly.Lang Huai simply folded his arms around her waist. "As for the matchmakers outside, don't worry about it, Madam, I will send it away." Lang Huai said a few witty words, and then became uncontrollably worried, saying: "The letter from Brother Seven hasn't arrived yet, I'm afraid there will be Variables. Cong Canglanhu's pilgrimage to the Buddha happened strangely, Sister Shang couldn't figure it out, and I couldn't figure it out either. Xue Shuai won't hide his traces for no reason, there must be a clue. And that thing is still uncertain..."

Mingda reached out to cover her lips, and said with a gentle smile, "Don't worry, it's just a trick. Even if it's a big deal, if we stand side by side, isn't it going to be smooth?"

Lang Huai held her hand tightly, the sun was scorching like fire, the girl in front of her looked arrogant, her eyes were as clear as water and as thick as honey.All the boredom of these days was thrown into the sky. Lang Huai wiped the sweat off her face and said, "Let's go back to Yannian Hall. Fortunately, I ordered you to prepare ice cubes in the morning. You see that you are hot." of."

Unexpectedly, not long after the two of them rested, Jiang Liang came.Lang Huai didn't put on airs, and asked politely, "Uncle Jiang, what's the matter?"

If someone visits Lang Huai, Tao Jun usually handles it.But today Tao Jun was ordered to go out of the city to handle errands, and he couldn't handle it for a while in the front yard, so he reported Jiang Liang.Jiang Liang looked at the famous post, pondered for a moment, and thought about the rumors in Chang'an City, so he had to come to Yannian Hall.

Lang Huai took a look and understood immediately.It turned out that it was Zhang Anren and Zhang Yue from Yizhou who wrote a post asking to see him.Seeing his flashy handwriting, Lang Huai was a little displeased, but he still handed it to Mingda and said, "See you?"

Ming Da nodded, "See you." Lang Huai was about to get up when he heard that, Ming Da smiled and said, "Why get up? Uncle Jiang, let him come in, come here."

"This..." Yannian Hall is nominally Lang Huai's bedroom, and it seems inappropriate to use it for receiving guests.But Lang Huai said with a smile: "It's okay, let him come. I remember he said that he came to visit several times, but he was stopped. I'm afraid this talented man is full of anger."

Jiang Liang said with a smile: "He's terrified! I'll call him." After finishing speaking, he glanced at Mingda, and said: "Although it's hot, the girl should not be greedy for coolness. Mr. Mu should persuade you." All the old people in the whole house They were still used to addressing Miss Mingda, and Lang Huai never asked them to change their mouths.

"Yes, I'm persuading her, don't worry." While talking, Lang Huai moved the ice basin from Mingda's side, and sat beside her to play the fan.

"You said he came to see you at this time, why?" After all, when outsiders came later, as soon as Jiang Liang left, Ming Da took Lang Huai's gauze cap and put it on his head, tied his black hair, and changed into men's clothes.

"The left and right are just for the official position, the wealth and the life." Lang Huai tied the ribbon for her with a smile, tied the knot, looked at her and said: "Mm, so pretty."

Not long after, Lan Jun led Zhang Anren in and offered tea.Mingda asked, "What tea?"

"Return to Madam, Silver Needle." Lan Jun understood her thoughts, and called Ma'am generously and gracefully, and then quietly stood aside, holding a fan and shaking it slowly.

Lang Huai then said: "Now that I've been convicted at home, I'm ordered to close the door and think about my mistakes. Brother Zhang is willing to come, it's really radiant."

Zhang Anren hurriedly said that he didn't dare. He followed the guards into the inner courtyard and felt a little puzzled. When he got outside the hall, he saw the three big characters of Yannian Hall, and his heart was excited and grateful.Being able to meet him in such a place shows that Lang Huai still remembers the friendship he met by chance in Yizhou.

Although he became Hanlin, he didn't want to stop there.After negotiating with Li Qian several times, Li Qian only said that he is now in decline, if he doesn't ask Lang Huai, maybe he still has a chance.He is a smart man, although his father has always been headed by King Huai Li Qian, Zhang Anren knows well what he has seen and heard since he came to Beijing, if King Huai wants to start with the abolition of the crown prince, he probably has no chance at all.Rebellious ministers and thieves are not what this Mr. Zhang wants. After thinking about it for a long time, Zhang Anren simply decided to ask for clarification.

After entering the hall, the good-looking maid led him into the side hall.Zhang Anren didn't expect that this place was packed like a scholar's disciple, with books all over the wall.Lang Huai and Ming Da sat crookedly on the low bench, talking in low voices.When he came in, neither of them said much.

Zhang Anren was a little dazed, Lang Huai had to say it again, and then woke up Tanhualang.Zhang Anren hurriedly said: "Brother Lang, you can talk as much as you want." After saying these two sentences, Zhang Anren was startled to feel that his back was dripping with cold sweat. Although Lang Huai was wearing plain clothes, the pressure on him was doubled.Why did I not have such feelings when I first met in Yizhou in the past?Zhang Anren was puzzled, but Lang Huaimingda and the two of them saw his appearance and left a timid impression.

Lang Huai signaled Ming Damo to scare him, and said with a loud smile: "Brother Zhang, you don't have to be so formal. You and I have known each other since we were young, so we should cherish it more. The cold soul that you are thinking about is burning me. I will prepare a banquet later. , we won’t go home until we’re drunk.”

Zhang Anren felt relieved, took out the prepared gift and handed it to Lan Jun who was beside him, saying: "I know you two don't need anything, this is just the tea picked this year on the tea mountain run by your hometown in Yizhou, take a Xianyi. Courtesy is light and affection is heavy, don't blame the two of you."

Lang Huai took it and opened the box to sniff the smell. Immediately, he raised his eyebrows and praised: "Good tea! Thank you, Brother Zhang, for your kindness!"

So he boiled water and made tea, Zhang Anren mumbled and said nothing, and Lang Huai patiently went around in circles with him.It's tea tasting and music discussion, but I just don't talk about serious things.He couldn't help laughing at Mingda, so he simply found an excuse to leave.

Lan Jun naturally followed with a smile, and when the two went out, Mingda laughed under his breath and said, "I didn't realize that she was playing tricks on people before, she has such a personality."

It just so happened that Mr. Zhu came over and heard this, and said: "Girl, you don't know, when we were fighting against Tubo, I had the most bad ideas."

Seeing the passing of time, Zhang Anren finally gritted his teeth and said firmly: "I really have something to ask Brother Lang for coming here today."

Lang Huai let out an "oh", put down the half-drinked Tianqingdou, and said, "Brother Zhang is true, but it's okay to say!"

She spoke sincerity, Zhang Anren was half relieved, and then said: "I will speak openly about this matter. Brother Lang should also know that my father and Duke Huai have an old relationship, and they have been of the same heart for so many years."

Lang Huai didn't answer, but looked at Zhang Anren indifferently, waiting for the next sentence.

"In the past few years, my father only said that His Royal Highness is not as good as Duke Huai..." Zhang Anren swallowed, and said: "I wondered if His Majesty would abolish the Crown Prince during the Zhenping period. This was also a moment of confusion , but now he understands. His Highness will always be His Highness, and Duke Huai will always be just Duke Huai."

"Prince Huai's will has now dissipated and he has lost all his party members. He just waits for His Majesty's decree to rule Huainan." Zhang Anren said, "I beg Brother Lang to remember our old acquaintance's sake. Don't make things difficult in the future. Father has always been in trouble. Lao, from now on I will be loyal and never dare to have another heart."

"Master Zhang knows that you are coming?" Lang Huai asked the most critical question gently after listening to the scholar.Sure enough, Zhang Anren's eyes dodged a little after hearing this, and he hesitated for a moment before saying, "Father naturally knows."

"Then please brother Zhang spread the word to Lingtang. The matter of Shangguan Yuan was not His Royal Highness's intention, but this person did evil and he should be rewarded. But Mr. Zhang is a good minister of the Tang Dynasty, and he admires his achievements from the bottom of his heart. Lang Huai poured the tea with his own hands, handed it to Zhang Anren, and pretended to complain: "Brother Zhang is worried about this, but he can't trust His Highness and me. I know your character so well, how can I harm you? How many vacancies in the six generals are there? I'm afraid You Hanlin are useless?"

Zhang Anren was overjoyed, his cheeks flushed with excitement, and he stammered: "Brother Lang, don't be joking, are you serious?"

Lang Huai said: "Of course it is true. There are only a few directors in various divisions that are lacking in our military department. Now we are only supported by two servants. The other five departments are naturally short of people."

Zhang Anren was not afraid of scalding his mouth, so he drank the tea in one gulp, and said: "I'm really stupid, I should have come to find you earlier. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been in a daze for so long! Brother Lang, thank you for your kindness! In the future, I will Send, I, Mrs. Zhang, will not refuse."

Lang Huai helped him up, and deliberately wooed him: "What are you talking about? Let's go, have some wine!"
