Thirty-nine, destroy a good marriage
Zhou Xuanyan talks about elegance and treats people intimately. Tianbo Mansion likes this young prince who is in a proud position but not arrogant position. She also has a young daughter named Yang Zicun and nickname Yang Bamei. She is eighteen years old. Because she usually likes to dance with swords and swords, she is very vigilant and arrogant, the children of aristocratic families in Kaifeng City dare not beg for it, so she has not been betrothed to others.
She retreated to the back hall, and asked someone to call his eldest son Yanping and Changsun Zongbao to his side, and asked, "Zongbao, did you hear that Zhou Xuan married the Princess of Tang as his wife?"
Yang Zongbao didn't understand why his grandmother asked about this and replied: "Yes, after Zhou Xuan married the Princess of Tang, he ran to Jiangzhou to marry the daughter of the Fenghua Jiedushi. He has four wives at present--"
"Ah, there are four!" She Taijun said in surprise.
Yang Yanping said: "My mother, Zhou Xuan is a first-class Duke. What are the four wives and concubines? Who would be as bad as our Yang family's children?"
Yang Zongbao smiled and said, "Zhou Xuan is a bit strange. He does not divide a wife according to the customs and etiquette of the Tang Kingdom, and the rules of a wife, saying that he should do it according to the etiquette of his hometown, Australia. His grandmother and uncle don't know yet. Zhou Xuan is also a prince of an island country thousands of miles away from the South China Sea. His country was destroyed and his family was exiled to the Tang Kingdom, so he did it according to the etiquette of his hometown, and all his wives were treated equally and had equal status-"
She Taijun smiled and said, "This is a strange thing. My parents' status is different, so how can there be equality!"
Yang Zongbao said: "The grandson lived in the Duke of Wu's Mansion for a few days. His four wives lived in the same courtyard. They did not bother each other. They gathered together every night to make silk and bamboo. Zhou Xuan enjoyed all the blessings of the people of Qi. His grandson once heard him say that he wanted to marry eight wives."
She Taijun asked: "Is that sheep girl also Zhou Xuan's wife?"
Yang Zongbao said: "Yes, but because the sheep girl was separated from her parents, Zhou Xuan has not held a wedding with her yet."
Yang Zongbao did not say that Yang Xiaopin was most likely the daughter of Han Derang, the most powerful minister of the Liao Dynasty. If the court knew about this, it might cause some turmoil and cause trouble to Zhou Xuan.
She Taijun nodded and said, "This Zhou Xuan is very polite-" and asked again, "He won't dislike women dancing guns and sticks, right?"
Yang Zongbao didn't understand what his grandmother asked about these things, and answered honestly: "Zhou Xuan has a broad mind and has high opinions that are difficult for ordinary people to reach. He doesn't like delicate and useless women. The women in his house get up early every day to exercise-"
Before Yang Zongbao finished speaking, she saw Taijun She slapped her palms and said, "That's good, how about you say I betrothed Zicun to Zhou Xuan?"
"Ah, my aunt married Zhou Xuan!" Yang Zongbao opened his mouth wide and couldn't close it.
Yang Yanping was also stunned.
Yang Zongbao came to his senses and said to himself: "Zhou and I claimed to be brothers and brothers, and we are acquaintances with our elders. If the eighth aunt marry him, he will not be my uncle. It is outrageous!" He immediately opposed: "Grandmother, this matter must not be done!"
She Taijun said: "What's wrong? Didn't Zhou Xuan say he wanted to marry eight wives? Zi Cun did not marry him as a concubine!"
Yang Zongbao was wise in a hurry and said, "Grandmother thought twice. If Zhou Xuan was my Duke of Song Dynasty, it would be a good thing for the eighth aunt to marry him, but Zhou Xuan was the Duke of Tang State. My Yang family was a minister of Song Dynasty and married high-ranking officials from other countries. Even if the emperor did not blame him, he would be suspicious."
Yang Yanping also said: "Zong Bao is right, please think twice about my mother."
She Taijun sighed: "I am so old and confused. I love Zhou Xuan's talents. I forgot that he is a minister of the Tang Dynasty. Although the Song and Tang dynasties have not fought in the past few years, they are not harmonious. They may be ignited by Zhao Defang in Western Shu at any time. Wouldn't my Yang family be implicated at that time? I will not mention this matter again. You go out to drink a bar."
Yang Zongbao secretly wiped his cold sweat and returned to the table to toast Zhou Xuan, thinking: "It's so lingering, I almost made you my uncle, where would I put my face!"
Zhou Xuan didn't know that Yang Zongbao had ruined his good marriage. He was so excited to marry a female general of the Yang family. Unfortunately, he was destroyed by the hateful Yang Zongbao. This friend was unauthorized, and this was a bad friend!
At the third hour of Shen Shi, Zhou Xuan said goodbye to Old Lady She. According to Yang Zongbao's instructions, he asked Old Lady She to let Yang Zongbao accompany him around, but Old Lady She agreed.
Yang Zongbao asked Zhou Xuan's personal soldiers to take Zhou Xuan and Siqi's horses back to the inn. He asked the servants to prepare two carriages, Zhou Xuan and Yang Xiaopin, and he and Siqi's horses-
Sichi looked at Zhou Xuan, and Zhou Xuan smiled slightly. Sichi said, "I don't like riding a car, I'll ride a horse by myself."
While speaking, a young man in blue shirt with red lips and white teeth stepped into the front yard and said, "Zong Bao, go watch sumo wrestling, right? Why don't you invite me?" After looking at Zhou Xuan, Yang Xiaopin and Sichi, nodded and greeted.
Yang Zongbao was stunned and hesitated and introduced him to Zhou Xuan: "Brother Zhou, this is my eighth-uncle--"
Zhou Xuanqi said: "Haven't I have seen all your uncles? Someone else's eighth uncle appeared? Come on, is this a woman?"
The young man in blue shirt looked at Zhou Xuan's eyes and knew that he could not hide it. He simply said, "What's the eighth uncle? I'm your eighth aunt, this is Duke Zhou, right? Yang Zicun is polite here-" bowed with a cheerful and macho look.
Zhou Xuan quickly returned the gift and looked at Yang Bamei with a few glances. She had a big silver basin face and two sword eyebrows flew into her temples. Her eyes were big and bright, with her eyes raised and her eyes were full of heroism. If it weren't for the curve of her lips that was too delicate, then her appearance would be a little more handsome than her nephew Yang Zongbao.
Yang Zongbao was twenty-one years old, Yang Zicun was eighteen years old, and his nephew was three years older than his aunt, but his elders were elders. Yang Zongbao did not dare to be rude and said with a smile: "Aunt, my nephew is going to accompany Brother Zhou today, so don't go?"
Yang Bamei glared at her starry eyes: "I'll go, I don't want you to accompany you." Then she ordered the servants to prepare horses. After a while, she took out a big red horse, turned over and bowed to Zhou Xuan and others, and went first.
The strong man Liu Yuan smiled and said, "Yang Bagu is really a hero among girls, and he has the style of the emperor's mansion in the past."
Yang Zongbao looked at Zhou Xuan and knew that Zhou Xuan would not know that his grandmother had wanted to marry his aunt to Zhou Xuan, but she always felt a little embarrassed. It would be best if her aunt left alone. If she was with Zhou Xuan, it would be impossible for her to happen. She said, "Then let's go too, Liu Yuan, lead the way."
Only Zhou Xuan and Yang Xiaopin took a car, Yang Zongbao, Liu Yuan and the four mysterious people all rode horses and went to the "Liuyuan Sumo Club" west of Tianhan Bridge, Bian River, six miles away.
Seeing that Yang Xiaopin's pure and beautiful face was covered with a hint of sorrow, Zhou Xuan knew that today's news about her parents was very touching to her, and her mother was dead again, and no matter how she was separated, she would be sad, so she gently hugged her shoulders and said, "Pin'er, don't be sad, I will accompany you to the mother's grave to worship."
Yang Xiaopin grabbed Zhou Xuan's hand, pressed it on his delicate cheek, and said, "Young Master, I will go back to Jinling after the ceremony and not to go to Liao Kingdom."
"Why?" Zhou Ding said in surprise.
Yang Xiaopin was silent for a while and said, "I'm a little worried."
Zhou Xuan took a deep breath. Yang Xiaopin was a very smart and sensitive woman. From what the two Liao people said, it was obvious that the matter was quite complicated. They were likely to fall into a whirlpool and danger when they went to Liao. Yang Xiaopin was worried about him Zhou Xuan.
Zhou Xuan held up her snow-white face, kissed her naturally rosy tender lips, and smiled easily, "What are you worried about in Pin'er? I'm not afraid of so many risks in the Southern Han Dynasty, and what are you afraid of in Northern Liao? Besides, I have long wanted to make friends with Liao and be prepared to negotiate the purchase of war horses. Your father is now the Prime Minister of the Great Liao and has been awarded the title of King of Qi. He has been sending people to look for you over the years. When we arrive in Liao, we will go directly to see him."
Yang Xiaopin said "um" and leaned his head gently on Zhou Xuan's shoulder, his chest pressed against Zhou Xuan's chest. He felt his left chest's strong heartbeat, beating on her right breast like a drumbeat.
The "Liuyuan Sumo Club" on the Tianhan Bridge is quite similar to the grand cockfighting field of Xu Mian, the King of Wei in Jinling City. It is also a circular building. It is divided into two large layers. The dozens of rooms on the lower floor are usually accommodations and practices for sumo wrestlers. The upper floor is divided into four layers. Each floor has 150 seats. The fourth floor can accommodate nearly 600 spectators. In the middle is a ten-meter-meter-a-meter-high open space, covered with hard and thick wooden floors. In the middle, an eight-foot-high ring is supported by 64 thick wood. The tabletop is eight inches thick and extremely strong.
The third floor is the best to watch the sumo ring. There are also several separate single-room elegant seats to watch the sumo with Gonggui objectively. Liu Yuan led Zhou Xuan, Yang Zongbao, Yang Xiaopin and Sichi to a single room on the third floor, and asked a servant to wait for him. He was busy organizing the competition.
Zhou Xuan and Yang Zongbao stood side by side under the railing, but saw that there were already many spectators on the ground floor east, south and west sides (the sumo wrestlers were on the stage in the north). These people looked up at the stage, but because they were closer to the stage, they were more popular with passionate sumo wrestlers, so they didn't have to sit, so they were willing to stand for half a night.
Suddenly the crowd was in agitation, as if there was some dispute. When he heard a "bang", he fell straight into the pillar of the arena. Then the crowd was a little bit. The blue-robed young man Yang Bamei Yang Zicun walked out and pointed to the person who was trapped in the audience and said, "I will teach you a little lesson. I will dare to kick your leg off again!"
Someone in the crowd immediately said, "This is Yang Bagu from Tianbo Mansion. Chen Xian is so brave that he dares to tease her. He will be going home for a few days now."
