Chapter 87 The eldest grandson's family (1)
The Changsun family has always been a prominent family in the Tang Dynasty. During the Anshi Rebellion, the Changsun family suffered heavy losses and failed to recover. Although they were unable to join the seven major families, they are still one of the famous families in Chang'an. Even the deceased ex-wife of the right prime minister Cui Yuan is also the daughter of the Changsun family.
The current head of Changsun family is Changsun Nanfang, who is appointed as the Minister of Guanglu Temple. He has many children, but only one son, and the rest are all daughters. For this reason, Changsun Nanfang once vowed that he would use his daughter as bait to catch all the rich son-in-law in the world.
Therefore, every year, Changsun Nanfang was busy recruiting son-in-law. His Guanglu Temple Minister became a part-time job, and his hard work paid off. His son-in-law was spread all over the court and the country, the governor of the county, and the backbone of the provincial and provincial governments. The latest son-in-law was the Tanhualang of the Jinke.
However, among his twenty-one daughters, his most precious second daughter, Changsun Yiyi, had a high vision and was unable to find a son-in-law until Zhang Huan made a three-thousand-mile rush to the capital of the Uighurs and became a hero of the Tang Dynasty. Changsun Yiyi, who was nineteen years old, finally felt aroused and forced her father to get on the hook.
Since he wanted to make a red line, he had to build a bridge. Changsun Nanfang asked from many sources. Finally, he realized that the son-in-law he despised the most was Zhang Huan's close friend. So he ordered Song Lianyu to invite Zhang Huan as his boss and father-in-law.
As soon as the sky was getting dark, Zhang Huan came to Changsun Mansion on time. Changsun Mansion is located in Wubenfang. It is a place where high-ranking officials and nobles gather. The roads are wide and green trees are shaded, but there are very few pedestrians on the street. Each house covers a wide area and often has to walk one mile along the wall to see another gate.
"General Zhang really gives face!"
Zhang Huan's arrival made Changsun's mansion boil. Changsun Nanfang walked out of the mansion with great strides. Without waiting for Zhang Huan to bow and salute, he stretched out his fat big hand and held Zhang Huan's hands extremely accurately. His eyes looked like a fisherman with a bleak harvest. Although Zhang Huan was attracted by his daughter, he also wanted something about Zhang Huan.
"Uncle Changsun Shishi is destined, how dare Zhang Huan not come?"
"Okay! OK!" Changsun Nanfang heard that he called Uncle Shi, his eyes were smiling in a slit, and he always felt that he had to make a footnote to this title.
"That year I went to the Zhang family in Taiyuan. You guys are all in their teenage years. They take turns to toasting me. You should be among them!"
Zhang Huan smiled slightly and said, "I was not at home at that time and could not be promoted, but I always admire Uncle Shi very much."
"It's okay! It's okay!" Changsun Nanfang pulled Zhang Huan up the steps and said with a smile: "Actually, I have never cared about the distinction between legitimate and illegitimate. As long as I have the ability and can glorify the clan, I will use it even if I am a concubine."
Most people think that he is hypocritical when they hear him, but those who know him deeply agree with it. Of course, he only has one son, so naturally he doesn't care much about the legitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegiti
As they said that, the two entered the mansion through the side door. There were a row of tall, short, fat and thin men standing inside the door, each of them with respectful expressions. Zhang Huan had long heard that there were many sons-in-laws in the Changsun family, and they must be them.
"Come! Come! Come! Come! Let me introduce you." Changsun Nanfang smiled and pulled someone up, "This is my eldest son-in-law, Hou Yaozong, and the official appointed as the general as the supervisor. You must get close to each other in the future!"
Hou's eldest son-in-law was wearing court clothes and tall and thin. She squeezed a smile on her face and said to Zhang Huan: "I have long admired Brother Zhang's reputation. I have been lucky enough to see you today."
Zhang Huan also smiled and replied, "I dare not take it. Zhang Huan made a small contribution occasionally, how can he compare to Hou Shaoqing's pragmatic official?"
After saying that, Zhang Huan suddenly realized that Hou Yaozong was wearing a pair of horse boots. It would be easy to understand if it was winter, but it was still in the heat of the day, but he was still wearing court clothes, just like wearing a pair of travel shoes now in a suit and tie.
Zhang Huan glanced at the sight and found that at least half of his dozen sons-in-law were wearing horse boots of the same color. When he turned around, he realized that Changsun Nanfang was the same.
What's going on? Is wearing horse boots a tradition of the Changsun family? Zhang Huan had a dozen thoughts in his mind, but he still couldn't figure out why? He thought of Song Lianyu's abnormality again, and always felt that the Changsun family seemed to be strange everywhere.
"What, is Lian Yu not at home?" Zhang Huan and his last son-in-law gave gifts, but did not see Song Lianyu. Logically, he was the main guest.
"The couple are not sure what they are doing? They haven't seen each other for an afternoon, come! Don't talk about them."
Changsun Nanfang seemed not to take this matter seriously. He waved his hand and made a gesture of inviting him, "A nephew asked him to sit in the hall."
Zhang Huan stopped asking, and nodded with a smile and walked towards the lobby. But after walking a few steps, he felt someone staring at him. He couldn't help but look around. Just in a flower window not far from him, he suddenly saw someone hiding behind the curtain and peeking. She saw that she was discovered by Zhang Huan, and her skirt flashed and disappeared from the window.
"Is this Changsun Yiyi?" Zhang Huan smiled. He didn't come into contact with many women. The eyes of several women all had their own characteristics. They were plain and confused, Pei Ying's cunning, Cui Ning's gentleness, and Jing Niang's passion. But when he saw the woman just now, he had another look, as if the scorching sun at noon shone on the glazed tiles, which was so bright that it turned into a kind of dazzling.
When Changsun Nanfang next to him saw Zhang Huan paying attention to the people in the window, he smiled meaningfully, with a look of pride in his eyes, "Today, it is just a common family dinner. Don't say that I am not well-received."
The lobby of Changsun Mansion is extremely deep and wide enough to accommodate thousands of people. Today, there are only dozens of seats. The small number in front of the seats is not big, and it can only accommodate one person, but the pearls and jade cups on it are filled with delicious food.
Dozens of maids shuttled back and forth in the lobby, carefully serving dishes and wine for each table.
"Come on! Please sit there as you like, nephew."
Although Changsun Nanfang said casually, his son-in-law returned to his position, leaving only two seats close to the chairman, one of which was for Zhang Huan, and the other was naturally where today's heroine Changsun Yiyi sat.
Everyone sat down, Changsun Nanfang raised his cup and smiled, "Today General Zhang is visiting the humble house. I am very honored. Now I have a drink first to show my respect."
After saying that, he drank all the wine in the jade cup, and the sons-in-law drank it with him. Zhang Huan also smiled and raised the wine to Changsun Nanfang, and drank it.
After drinking a few cups of wine, the seat next to him was still empty. The heroine Changsun Yiyi was wearing cumbersome makeup and was not seen. Changsun Nanfang frowned and impatiently ordered the maid behind him, "Go and call the lady out."
At this time, the sound of rapid footsteps came from outside the lobby. A little butler ran in panic and reported urgently: "Master, go and have a look! Mr. Song fell and was seriously injured!"
"Didn't you see that I have guests?"
Changsun Nanfang's face suddenly sank, "If you are injured, please ask the doctor to come..."
He was only halfway through his words, and suddenly he remembered Zhang Huan beside him. The anger in his tone immediately turned into anxiety, "You might as well go and invite Dr. Han, why should I report to me first, and waste time!"
Zhang Huan had already stood up, and he bowed to Changsun Nanfang and said, "I want to see Lian Yu's injuries, I don't know if it's convenient."
The anxiety in Changsun Nanfang's tone turned into extremely concerned again, "I am also very concerned. Since that's the case, let's go together!"
He waved his hand to his son-in-law and said, "You continue, I will take General Zhang to see you and then go back."
