The country is not as pretty as the beauty

"Father, it will be your [-]th birthday in a few days. This is a kindness from my daughter and husband. Please accept it." Xu You is the prefect and has been an official for most of his life. He has never seen any rare treasures, so Xu Yao knew what Xu You wanted most.

"Oh, it's good to be here, why take so many things, you can stay for a few more days this time."

"Grandpa, I'm afraid that's not possible. Things are busy at home. I'm afraid you will have to leave after your birthday." The Su family needs someone to take care of it. As the eldest son, Su Zhan is helping Su Li with many things.

"So fast?"

"It will be the autumn harvest soon, and the early rice in the south should be ripe, so it will be busy." Su's business mainly focuses on grain, and Xu You also knows that he will not force it to stay.

"Yao'er, where is Su Li?" During the first emperor's time, Su Li's family was in decline when he was young, and it would be better if the new emperor succeeded him. Only after suffering will you oppose it.

"My husband's family business is busy and I will take care of it alone. He will come on the day of my father's birthday."

"If you are busy, tell him not to come here on purpose. The Su family's great business depends on him, and he has worked hard. Yaoer, you are right." Xu Yao later proved that she was right. Su Li lost his father when he was young, and his family was in decline, but his ambition was not lost because of this. Later, because of his current government, he rehabilitated a group of heroes, and Su Hang was also included in the portraits of Lingyan Pavilion.Because of the Xu family's relationship, and because his Su family was far away from the officialdom, the court turned a blind eye and moved south to Bingzhou to take root, becoming the first merchant in the south of the Yangtze River in one fell swoop.

"Thank you father for understanding."

"Grandpa, mother, if there is nothing else, we will leave first." While Xu Yao and Xu You were talking, several juniors were discussing something in a low voice.

"Where are you going to make trouble again, girl?" Su Yunxin is the one who takes the lead, as long as she is around, she will be the one who takes the lead.

"Mother, I haven't been to Xuanzhou for many years, and I want to go out and have a look."

"Yes, my aunt let us take our cousins ​​to Xuanzhou to have a good time. It's not in vain for you to come all the way."

"It's not that you don't know, Xin'er has a stubborn temper." It's not that Xu Yao refuses, but her daughter is really uneasy.

"Isn't there a cousin?"

"Let them go, it's normal for the juniors to love to play." Xu You said cheerfully, full of children and grandchildren.

"Then since father has spoken, I will allow you this time, but you will come back earlier."

"Thank you grandpa."

"Yang'er, Meier, take them to see Xuanzhou well." Xu You did not forget to remind them.

"Ugh"

Several young people left the Xu Mansion.

"Oh~" Su Yun stretched his body and mind, breathing the air outside.

"Why, are you tired after driving for so many days?"

"No, but I just think Xuanzhou is better than Bingzhou." Born and raised in Bingzhou, Su Yunxin felt that other places were better than Bingzhou.

"My cousin is right. Although Xuanzhou is not as prosperous as Bingzhou, it is still one of the largest states, and the people in Xuanzhou live and work in peace and harmony. I heard that Bingzhou's public security has always been bad."

"Isn't that right? There are many descendants in Bingzhou's aristocratic families, and those who bully others are everywhere, and no one cares about those who are as high as the sky and the emperor is far away." As he said that, Su Yun's heart was filled with passion and aggrieved.

"So my younger sister has become a heroine in the fight against tyranny, isn't it?" Su Zhan shook his head. His younger sister can make people feel at ease one day, which is really a blessing for the Su family.

"That's what they deserve."

"It is true that Bingzhou is not properly managed, but the root is still in the system." When it comes to politics, Su Zhan became interested.

"Brother is going to talk about politics again, so tell me what's going on this time." Su Yunxin expressed that he was used to it, and Su Zhan always had a stomach full of ink.

"The Su Dynasty's state government system is too lacking, and the military system is not good. When there is a war, civilians are recruited, and there will be fewer farmers in the fields, and no one will cultivate the land. If no one is farming, there will be a shortage of food, and the price of food will rise. Some people are hungry." Shaking the fan, looking around, he still seemed a little afraid to speak, and lowered his voice: "Before, Li Yu was executed before the policy was fully implemented. It's a pity. Now the power of the feudal town is the biggest disaster of the Su Dynasty. Do you know Bingzhou? An Guohou is in the town, and the mansion is only [-] soldiers, but the army of Bingzhou far surpasses the others. Among the kings of Fan, King Qi is the most prosperous, sitting in five states..."

"Cousin may not think too much. This important person has been the emperor's trusted clan since ancient times. Why do you say that." The state town is heavily populated by mercenaries, so the border areas are dominated by princes.Mu Shiji got Bingzhou because of the eldest princess.

"Cousin Yang's words are wrong. The tiger's poison still eats its children. The ancients killed so many fathers and brothers in order to seize the imperial power. Let's just talk about Emperor Yang of the previous dynasty. In the face of power and desire, people's hearts are terrifying." Dynasty Changing, that dragon chair is all piled up with piles of dead people's bones.

"Makes sense, makes sense."

"Everyone understands the big truth, and my brother doesn't take the exam to get fame, so why worry so much?" Su Yun knew this, so why didn't she feel sorry, the Su family had a lot of land, and she would go to see those for their father. Working farmers.

Although Su Yun has a stubborn heart, she is smart and can learn things very quickly, but her temper needs to be tempered.

"Maybe I was really born at the wrong time. The situation of the Su family, unless the dynasty changes..." Su Zhan has ambitions, stronger than Su Yun's. That ambition is born, and he is obviously a descendant of a meritorious minister. accused of...

"Hey, cousin, you are crazy to say this." Complaining, dissatisfaction with this thing, it is enough to have it in your heart, and now the Tian clan is still in power, Su Zhan is too bold.

"I'm just talking about the facts, isn't there no one here?"

"Brother, you said that if daddy allows, if Suchao allows, can I take the exam for a female number one scholar?" Su Yunxin suddenly thought of this, and felt that it is awe-inspiring for a number one scholar to return to his hometown. Since ancient times, there has been no female number one scholar...

"You?" Su Zhan glanced at Su Yunxin, and said with a smile: "Not to mention that there is no such thing as a female champion, but if you really win the champion and become an official, according to your temperament, you will definitely not survive three days in the officialdom .”

Su Zhan's words made everyone laugh.Su Yun was so angry that he stretched out his hand and grabbed Su Zhan's ear.

"It hurts...it hurts...it hurts."

"Oh, besides knowing martial arts, my cousin should also know some poetry and songs."

Su Yun let go, and Su Zhan covered his red ears: "How can she not? My mother taught me to be the same as her since I was a child, but she is very active, so I pestered my father to teach her martial arts."

Then Su Zhan smiled again, it was a smile of admiration for his younger sister: "The world only knows that Miss Su is good at martial arts, but I don't know that my younger sister is good at playing the piano, even if I learn her for a few more years, I will feel ashamed." " Except for chess, she can't beat Su Zhan in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but she is excellent in other things, especially in piano.It's just that Su Yun's heart never shows in front of others.

"I really can't see it." Xu Yang looked at Su Yuxin in surprise, not only he couldn't see it, but even the people in Changshun Mansion couldn't see it.

"What, as long as I'm willing to learn, there's no way I can't learn." It seems that I'm not as stupid as you all.

Su Yunxin has been intelligent since he was a child. With the guidance of Master Zhiyan, he has learned good calligraphy and painting, and he has never forgotten the study of Buddhism.Master Zhiyan once said that Su Yun had the talent to worship the prime minister in his heart.

But what she uses most is her martial arts, and she is famous in Bingzhou for eliminating violence and Anliang.Therefore, people in Bingzhou only know that the only talented person in the south of the Yangtze River is Mr. Su from the Su family, but they don't know that Su Yunxin can also be called a talented woman.

"Where are we going?" Su Zhan asked after walking for a long time.

"Xuanzhou, a great river in the south of the Yangtze River, is famous for its water. This water is not the Beihai Sea, but the Xunyang Lake that flows into the Xunyang Mansion after the Yangtze River."

"I know, I know, City in the Lake." Su Yunxin hurriedly said.

"The so-called city in the lake is just a piece of land in the center of Xunyang Lake." It's not very big, and there are towers and restaurants built on it, in order to prevent the lake center state from being wiped out by the spring flood.

"When we were young, our parents didn't let us come here."

"It makes sense not to let you in. This Xunyang Lake is the place where heroes from all over the world gather, men of letters, most of them are children of real talents and real learning, but there are also many children of aristocratic families who are just pretending, and this lake is also the place where boys and girls get married. land."

"That said, I really want to go and have a look, and I heard that there is a fairy..." Xu Yang said Su Yun's heart was itchy.Curiosity is still the same.

"Cousin, don't worry, go to the clothes shop to change."

"Change clothes?"

"Ahem, this is because he is afraid of attracting attention." Xu Yang said softly...in fact, he was afraid of being known by the two elders, Xu An and Xu Ping, and afraid of being beaten.

"Then help me find a man's clothes, just a little tighter."

"What do you want this for?"

Su Yunxin showed them two sets of punches, "Show your fists and kicks, this dress will probably be torn if I use a little force."

Su Yunxin had heard about the fairy in the center of the lake. She seemed to be young... You need to pass both civil and military tests in the pavilion to meet the fairy. It's good for her to tease her.

"Xin'er, what are you trying to do?"

"Brother, don't worry, I won't mess around."

"Didn't Xiaoyang just say that there is no place for literati to go, and the children of aristocratic families will not be like those in Bingzhou, where there is no need for martial arts."

"I'm not here to fight, but to see the beauty of the master of the Wumeng Pavilion in Xunyang Lake." Su Yunxin's interest in this kind of mysterious woman is always the same.

"Wonderful Pavilion?"

Su Yun's heart hurts because Su Zhan is better than everyone's ladies, so I don't know what to ask.

"It's an attic in the center of the lake. This pavilion is divided into six floors, representing the six arts, poetry, book, ritual, music, change, spring and autumn." Xu Yang explained.

"Why is it named like that?"

"I don't know about this either. I only know that there are no stairs in this pavilion, but six pillars connecting it." Xu Yang didn't know about it in Xuanzhou for many years.But Su Yunxin seemed to understand something when he heard the name.

"There is a saying in "Zhuangzi" that "the perfect man has no dreams". Among the Buddhas, the perfect man should be a person who always enters the world of form and has no form." Afterwards, Su Yun thought about it again.

"The twelfth volume of "Shanjian Vipo Salad" says: Ordinary beings in the world of desire, arhats, and saints such as single enlightened people will dream. Only the world of form, beings in the world of formless, and Buddhas have no dreams." Su Junxin Immediately felt that this Wumeng Pavilion was very interesting, presumably the owner of the pavilion was also an interesting person.Those who are ethereal in the formless world have no desires, since they have no desires...

"Cousin Yunxin, good advice, you have extensive knowledge and knowledge!" Xu Yang was amazed and admired by Su Yunxin's words.

"How can I go up without stairs?" At a glance, the loft stands on the island in the lake.

"Sigh~ Not everyone can go up. Everyone can go up to the first floor. You have to take exams to get into the sixth pavilion, which is the pavilion where the owner of the pavilion is." Xu Yang explained to them.

"Spring and Autumn?"

"I'm afraid it's not the Spring and Autumn Period that is easy to decorate. The spring flowers and autumn moon are just the perfect scene. To be able to take this name, one can imagine the tone of the Pavilion Master of Wumeng Pavilion."

"What if all floors are passed?"

"The poetry on the first floor is extremely difficult. If you pass it, someone will escort you to the upper floor. It's a woman." Xu Yang smiled, as if he had been there before.

"It's the same as a fairy in the sky choosing a husband." Su Yun said nonchalantly.

"That's right, but the pavilion master once said that both men and women are welcome."

Xu Yang's words made Su Yunxin a little more interested. The previous name of the attic was Wumeng... She guessed the owner of the pavilion, and now it is not limited to men and women.

"If you want to say that the pavilion master is also an extremely skilled woman, after being a general, her cousin and cousin should be the old friends of General Su Hang."

"Sigh~ My family has a lot of old friends." Su Hang is the founding general, as famous as General Li Jing, Duke of Wei. Half of the country in the Su Dynasty was brought down by Su Hang. Most of the heroes in Lingyan Pavilion are Su Hang's close friends. and subordinates.

"It has been practiced in the past dynasties. If the cunning rabbit dies and the running dog cooks, how many famous heroes and generals can be preserved. This is the owner of the Wumeng Pavilion. I heard that her grandfather was originally a Liang general. He also helped the late emperor to seize the world and bestowed the land as Marquis of the opposite sex. Unexpectedly, after the world was first established, the misfortune of General Su Hang was widely involved and all the heroes were killed. Only you, the Su family, can retire with meritorious service in the past Now, thinking about it, the owner of this pavilion is also a person with a hard life, so he should also be the owner of the county."

The first emperor killed most of the military generals with outstanding military exploits.It is the king's most taboo to have a high meritorious service, but Tian Baimu is smart, and he did not kill all the ministers of the humerus.Because of his own health, and because of Tian Wuhen's young age, he also kept a group of people for the prince—called confidantes.

"Once the success is complete, how many people's lives must be exchanged for the throne." Su Yunxin sighed, she has always hated officialdom, and is not interested in power.The so-called princes, generals, and land are all passing things to her.

"Isn't this the case with the change of dynasty? Mutiny, the addition of yellow robes, is it something you and I can control?"

"Now that things have passed for so many years and the world is stable, we don't need to think so much. Let's take a look at these clothes."

I found a family on the shore of the lake to arm and change clothes.

"The smallest size, the one with arrow sleeves, that one is too big, it's a bit awkward to wear." Su Yanxin looked at the round neck and narrow sleeved gown, and then at the crotchless shirt.

"I know."

The crotchless shirt is the clothes of the army, because it is easy to ride a horse and it is convenient to do things.The Su dynasty and the establishment of the dynasty integrated the characteristics of the northern Xianbei.After changing clothes and coming out of defense, Su Zhan is as tall as Xu Yang, and Su Yunxin is a little taller than Xu Mei.

The system of the Su Dynasty is the most rigorous, and the ranks of princes are very clear.Monarchs, princes, officials, ministers, clans, and common people all have restrictions on their clothing, and emphasizing agriculture and suppressing merchants is implemented in every dynasty, but in the Yuping period, they gradually relaxed these. In addition, the Su family is not an ordinary merchant. Emperor Taizu's special decree.

"The clothes are so ugly." Xu Mei, who was usually used to wearing silk and satin, said with some disgust.

"Beauty is not in the appearance but in the heart. Although the first thing lies in the vision, it is because the first thing to do is to observe with the eyes. If you only look at the appearance and don't pay attention to the heart, there will be many problems in the future." Su Zhan's words are always Can make people choke.

"Yeah, nothing is as beautiful as the beauty of the soul, so don't worry about it, cousin."

When the words fall, the speaker has no intention, but the listener has intention.Xu Mei was full of dissatisfaction, and she was not a kind person in the first place.

Due to the depth of the lake, Xunyang Lake is also very large in size, so there are fences and stone pillars around the lake.There are openings every few distances, and there are many boats parked beside the station, some of which have boat owners, and some are for renting boats.

"The four objective people want to rent a boat?"

"Exactly, we only need to borrow a boat, and we will do the rest by ourselves."

"Okay, five taels of silver a day"

"Five taels? Boatman, have you seen it clearly?"

"The old man has read countless people, and a few of them have extraordinary conversations. Presumably they are not ordinary scholars, and they come together." The boatman smiled, as if he could see through people.The eyes are really powerful.

"This is five taels of silver, the boatman, you take it." Xu Yang didn't say anything, he took out the silver and gave it to him. After several people boarded the boat, Su Yuxin rushed to row the oars. For the first time, it was a fresh idea. .

"Why did you give it to him directly? Five taels of silver are enough to buy a few boats."

"My cousin has been working a lot in the business. Don't you know about the human accidents outside? Business is business."

Su Zhan laughed when he heard this, businessmen are really the worst people in the world... If you want to be rich, then how much money is justified, and you will still have some stains.

The author has something to say: Fairy~ she is a key person, a miserable person!

Aso believes in Buddhism, with the guidance of Master Zhiyan!

Sister Rou believes it, and the person who gave the pointer will mention it in the future.very critical.

I feel that the plot of the empress is progressing very quickly, because of the Saliang couple.

The plot of the characters will become more and more abundant in the future!

Thank you little angel for your support, mua! !
