The third emperor of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 68
Guanzhong and Guanlong dignitaries are eager to put out the fire and restore their lost reputation, but in Taiyuan they are beaming!

A luxurious mansion that was written as "Li's Mansion" has a new look, decorated with joy, with melodious silk and bamboo, singing and dancing, and a lot of guests, it is very lively.

In the hall, hundreds of maids and servants were busy running, arranging banquets and entertaining guests, while more than a hundred soldiers were guiding the carriages outside to maintain order.

Today is the auspicious day for Li Shimin, the second son of Li Yuan left behind in Taiyuan, to marry Dugu Mingxiu, the daughter of the Dugu clan.

The marriage of two powerful families in Guanlong caused a sensation in the whole land!
Some representatives of the Guanlong family will come to join us from a distance of thousands of miles!The head of the small and medium-sized family even came to congratulate in person.

There is an endless stream of people!

The atmosphere is warm!The hustle and bustle!It can be heard for miles!Sensible!
a mile away!

An elegant and elegant small courtyard, against the background of the warm atmosphere, is doubly desolate and desolate.

A three-story wooden building!

Sandalwood is burning in the bronze animal furnace, and the sunset at dusk is cut to pieces by the sycamore outside the building, and through the window paper, it shows the last poignant beauty...

A graceful figure and a flowing figure stood quietly in front of the window!The nun's hair was pulled up in a high bun, revealing a slender and fair neck, as elegant as a swan.The shoulders are cut like a knife, the waist is like a girdle, the figure is slim and slender, the exquisite face is picturesque, and the beauty is natural.The delicate willow-leaf eyebrows are graceful.

Her beauty stems from natural uncanny skills, her shoulders are cut like a knife, her waist is like a silk girdle, her neck is long and soft, her skin is smooth and white, and her eyes are bright and full of hope!
A pair of clear eyes that are as bright as Xiaoxi seem to be chasing the falling sunlight, but the gradually dense mist seems to be out of focus.

The delicate and slender body trembled slightly. Looking from a distance, it was thin and elegant, just like the fallen leaves flying outside the window.

She is the youngest daughter of the late General Sun Sheng, and also the eldest grandson Wugou who was divorced by Li Shimin on the grounds that she had nothing to do!

"Deng! Deng! Deng..." hurried footsteps came from behind.Changsun Wuji, who was dressed in a luxurious robe, took a deep breath and shouted, "Sister..."

Changsun Wuji is 23 years old this year, and looks very similar to his father, Changsun Sheng.However, because he was kicked out of the house by his half-brother eldest grandson Anye when he was a teenager, he has been living in his uncle's house and has no family care, so now he is 23 years old, but his eldest grandson Wuji is still a commoner.

Although with the help of his uncle, he studied hard and learned a lot about literature and history, but after his uncle was demoted, he had no one to take care of him.

He hoped that one day, he would return to his eldest grandson's family with the momentum of returning to his hometown, and let the snobbish eldest grandson Anye and the others see that his eldest grandson Wuji could stand out without relying on the family's prosperity.

"elder brother!"

The eldest grandson Wugou tilted his head slightly, his profile face with a chiseled and chiseled face was like a jade carving, cold and without a trace of warmth!Just like that "brother"!
Letting out a light breath, Wugou said flatly: "Brother, I want to live for myself."

In the astonishment of Changsun Wuji, her long eyelashes trembled, hanging down to block the clear eyes, and the quiet voice was as elusive as floating clouds in Changsun Wuji's ears: "My lord father died of illness in the fifth year of Daye! Later, our brother, sister and mother were expelled from the house by Brother An Ye and the others! Fortunately, my uncle mercifully took us in and took us in! Only after my mother died of illness in the eighth year of Daye! The elder brother made friends with the second son. You said that the second son has the appearance of a dragon and a phoenix. Then I asked my uncle to betroth me to him! Now it's "the appearance of a hero, and I will surely help the world and the people", and then let me leave him! To put it bluntly, I always feel that I was raped by the elder brother Controlled puppets..."

Tears were like pearls falling off the thread, continuously slipping down from Wugou's fair cheeks, his words seemed to be venting, I don't know if it was because of recent accidents, or because of the backlog of things in his heart for a long time.

Changsun Wuji opened his mouth wide in surprise, and looked at the delicate and graceful younger sister in disbelief.

For a long time, my younger sister has been synonymous with being dignified, beautiful, knowledgeable, and considerate of the overall situation. Unhappy things will be tightly locked in her heart, and she still has a calm smile on her face. She doesn't fight, let alone struggle, as if everything In her eyes, everything is as insignificant as clouds, good or bad, everything doesn't matter...

But now, what did he hear?
Changsun Wuji only felt that his heart was filled with ice, and he trembled from the cold, and said anxiously: "Little sister, I am here for the family, to restore my father..."

Unusually, Wugou interrupted his words, she lowered her eyes and said: "Brother! I just said that we were expelled from the house by Brother Anye in the fifth year of Daye, and we have nothing to do with the eldest grandson's family. Glory, glory even in death... His glory need not be restored."

Changsun Wuji froze in place as if petrified.

He finally understood that the seemingly calm and breezy younger sister had been brewing for a long time with the sadness in her heart.

I understand better what my sister means:
The eldest grandson's family has nothing to do with their brothers and sisters, his father's glory has never been lost, but his eldest grandson Wuji first married his younger sister to Li Shimin on the grounds of "helping the world and peace of the people", and then let her leave obediently, so why is his eldest grandson Wuji? ?Naturally, it was for his eldest grandson Wuji's personal benefit, so he sold his own sister over and over again...

But Wugou is a gentle woman after all, after all, she didn't say anything hurtful!And the first sentence "I want to live for myself"!She also tactfully reminded him that she gave her life's happiness for her brother!
Really enough!Also crashed!
Changsun Wuji was so ashamed that he was speechless and shameless...

"Sister! You... you will..."

After a long while, the eldest grandson Wuji, whose heart was pierced by a knife, opened his mouth in an obscure way, but at this time, his sister analyzed it thoroughly, and he didn't have the slightest confidence in his words.

Although he is more utilitarian, but he and his eldest grandson Wugou have lived together for more than ten years, how can this kind of relationship be comparable to utilitarianism?
"Brother, you don't need to think too much!" Wugou said with his head down, "I've grown up! I can take care of myself. I'm tired, brother, let's go.",
"Sister, Taiyuan is going to be in chaos! Go to Jizhou and Zhuojun as soon as possible... There will be no chaos there..."

The eldest grandson Wuji was heartbroken again. My younger sister is virtuous and virtuous. She has been married to the Li family for many years and has devoted herself to serving her elders like a slave... Now she is blasted out of the Li family like a shabby clothes... This scene is very different from when she was kicked out of the Li family. The grandson's family is so similar.

"I hope!" Wugou said softly, a trace of deep sarcasm appeared on Fen's face, how could she, who is smart, not know the meaning of Changsun Wuji's words?
Yang Tong, king of Qin, implemented several genuine policies to benefit the people in Jizhou, so that ordinary people could really benefit. No matter who wins Jizhou in the future, he can only follow along in the early stage, so that the people of Jizhou The people will not be chaotic or rebellious!And this is what Changsun Wuji meant when he said "there can't be chaos there"!But these new policies that benefit the country and the people have become the reason for some people who claim to be benevolent and righteous to attack and rebel.How ironic.

Wugou didn't say anything more, but walked into the bedroom, and Changsun Wuji sighed from behind: "It's best, let's go now...I've already made arrangements..."

He knew that Wugou couldn't stay in Taiyuan. Firstly, Taiyuan was not safe; secondly, Dugu's family couldn't tolerate Wugou's existence in order to eradicate future troubles. Li Shimin and Dugu Mingxiu got married today, and the two families couldn't spare time. It's a great time to leave Wugou.

"No! I'll go by myself."

Just as the old people cry, there are also new people laughing.

In Li's mansion, there was a large open water table inside and outside the mansion, pushing the atmosphere to the climax.

A series of exquisite dishes were brought out from the kitchen by the servants and arranged on the banquet table, and altars of mellow wine were also brought out from the wine cellar, allowing the guests to drink as much as they wanted.

People are in good spirits on happy occasions!

Li Shimin, who was once again the groom's officer, was dressed in a big red robe, with a crown on his hair, eyebrows like soft swords, eyes like stars, exuding a burst of joy all over his body!

He, Li Shimin, has endured lust for many years, and finally got his reward today. He got his wish and married the first daughter of a top wealthy family!

As the son-in-law of the Dugu Clan in Guanlong, he is no worse than Li Jiancheng, the eldest brother who married the daughter of the Wang family in Taiyuan. The only disadvantage is his status as the second son.

However, the prince has always been used to abolish, and among the wealthy families, how many of them are the eldest sons who really become the next patriarch?For the future, Li Shimin is full of hope.

The eldest grandson Wuji sat silently in the corner and watched with cold eyes. The miserable and weak appearance of his younger sister floated in front of his eyes. Looking at the festive atmosphere in the hall, he thought it was so dazzling, and found that Li Shimin's unconcealable pride was deeply moved. The ground stung his heart, and he suddenly felt that Li Shimin was so strange and disgusting, he wished he could go up and slap him a few times, and then burn the hall clean.

However, he dare not!This is the face of Li Clan and Dugu Clan. If he goes up to make trouble, then he will be tortured to death immediately, and even his sister will not survive.As a son of the rich and powerful in Guanlong, he knows that every top wealthy family has a huge and amazing intelligence system. As long as they are looking for someone, they will never fail. Once they are found, they will be in a dilemma. Vicious means.

He took a deep breath, his face gradually recovered, but there were bursts of coldness in his eyes.

"Son! Your father passed away early, and your life as a mother will not be long. The Guanyin maidservant is still young, so I will take care of it in the future! There is also the marriage of the Guanyin maidservant. When your father was alive, Tang Guogong called him brother and brother, but you After my father left, Li Jiati didn't mention it anymore. At the beginning, your father and Tang Guogong only talked about it verbally, and there was no marriage contract or marriage, so don't take it seriously."

"But they must give us an explanation."

"Hey, silly boy! Don't you understand? The Li family doesn't look down on our family anymore! Since we were expelled from the Changsun Mansion, the Li family doesn't care about the Guanyin servant girl."

"But mother..."

"There is nothing wrong with this. The marriages of the rich and powerful are like this, and it is common for the Li family to go back on their word. Even if there is a marriage contract, there is no formal agreement. Since they dislike us, there is no need for us to cling to them. Look down on our family. Even if you marry your sister, she must be a son of a concubine, or even a useless dude. Don't let your sister marry into a rich and powerful family. If you want to find someone who really loves your sister, small and medium-sized families It doesn't matter. You are the son of Changsun Sheng, you must have your father's ambition! As long as you are good, your sister will not be wronged."

"..."

The eldest grandson Wuji's eyes were slightly closed, and the scenes with his mother were constantly echoing in his mind. For a moment, his heart ached like cutting: all of this was just as his mother expected, it was his own obsession that ruined his sister's life.

"The imperial decree has arrived!" A high-pitched voice sounded from outside the gate of Li Mansion.

In an instant, the Li Mansion, which was as noisy as a vegetable market, became quiet. Almost all the people looked at each other and looked at Li Yuan in unison.

Li Yuan was also a little puzzled!
But not to mention, the word "imperial decree arrives" is quite powerful, and with just a shout, the whole house, from the master to the guests, all dressed up to greet them.

Li Shimin, the groom's official, followed out with a red face.
