The Legacy of the First Auxiliary House of the Tang Dynasty

Wu Meiqiu's matter was reasonable at the time because the other party's words were reasonable, and Fang Yiai saw someone who had to be filial. Although she had some opinions on Wu Mei because of the "great cause" that Wu Mei would accomplish in the future, she hesitated and agreed.

After he left the palace, he couldn't figure it out even how much he thought about it. This Wu Mei looks delicate and beautiful. Although the other party's character can be seen from his words and temperament, but the girls of the Tang Dynasty can ride horses and shoot arrows on the surface, and there is no reason why they are better than Wu Mei. There are plenty of beautiful women, not to mention the domineering and coquettish royal princesses.

Along the way, he arrived in front of the Wu family's gate. Although he was riding a tall horse with a straight face, his heart was still churning.

Asking the servants and the concierge to hand over invitations, Fang Yiai was invited into the Wufu.

Wu Mei has two older brothers and one older sister. Aunt Yang was born in the Yang family of Hongnong. She was of noble status, but she married late. At that time, under the help of Tang Taizu Li Yuan, she married Ying Guogong, a warrior, as his second wife. The eldest daughter Wu Shun and Wu Mei.

After Wu Mei's father, Samurai Xun, passed away, the situation of the mother and daughter in Ying Guogong's mansion was not very good. Fortunately, her elder sister Wu Shun got engaged to the Helan family earlier and married Helan Yueshi.

Helan Yueshi can be regarded as a young talent, but it's the turn of the youngest daughter Wu Mei's marriage, and then Yang's family is worried. Coupled with the increasingly persecuted brother Wu Yuanqing, the Yang's mother and daughter living in Ying Guogong's mansion are very embarrassed. If it wasn't for Yang's own dowry and property, there would be problems with clothing and food, not to mention Wu Mei's marriage.

Wu Mei also entered the palace under such circumstances. If it wasn't for the fact that the elder brother who inherited the title was not sad and concerned about money, the Yang family himself had no close family members, and the clan members were also distant, and he was no longer in Chang'an City, so he would not be able to use his strength. Otherwise, Wu Mei, with her status as the daughter of a duke of the state, would not have entered the palace from a meager talent.

Although Cairen has a status in the harem of the Tang Dynasty, Wu Mei is only a female official in terms of talent, but her luck is not bad, and she is smart and enlightened, so she was promoted by Li Shimin to the imperial court.

However, Yang knew that her daughter hadn't been favored by the emperor a few months ago, so she didn't know if it was a blessing or a curse...

What's more, there are so many beauties in the palace, not to mention good looks, but more talented women from aristocratic families, and another Xu Cairen who entered the palace with Wu Mei has long been promoted to full capacity. Her rank was higher than that of Wu Mei, and she was deeply favored by Emperor Li Shimin. It is said that she would be conferred the title of concubine when she had the chance.

Outside the palace, Yang has always been worried about her daughter, because she has no son of her own, and the relationship between mother, daughter and stepson is not very good, so she can't help the youngest daughter in the deep palace at all.

Wu Mei's elder sister, Wu Shun, also got married at this time, and went to the Yue King's fief with her husband Helan Yueshi. one.

The opportunity was rare, Wu Shun naturally took his son and her husband to leave Chang'an City, at this time the Yang family was isolated and helpless in Ying Guogong's mansion.

Wu Mei counted the days, and for a few months, she did not receive a letter from A Niang Yang or see her.

As a young talent of the emperor, Wu Mei seems to be quite proud in the palace and no one bullies her, but Li Shimin is not a selfish person, and there are many people in the palace staring at Wu Mei's position, she can't If you violate the palace rules, you can summon your relatives at will.

Wu Mei couldn't find a trustworthy person for a while, and she was able to go out of the palace to help her deliver the letter and see her mother in person. After several months, she always felt that something happened at home, and she couldn't contact Yang for a while.

Therefore, this is the scene where she begged for her last love outside the Lizheng Palace.

Sure enough, as Wu Mei expected, Fang Yiai agreed to her.

"Serve tea." Wu Yuanqing came out to meet the guests. After all, the visitor was the son of the prime minister and Princess Gaoyang's son-in-law. It is said that Erlang of the Fang family has a very good relationship with the prince recently. The two brothers scratched their heads and couldn't rely on their unreliable relationship.

"It's a great honor for you to come here." Wu Yuanqing was at home, warmly welcoming Fang Yiai.

He only inherited a title, but because he didn't have any connections, he didn't get any good official positions. Fortunately, he was unemployed recently.

Wu Yuanqing was extremely upset, but his father was not very powerful in the first place, and he was a businessman, and it was because he sponsored money when the first emperor raised his army, and he was in charge of the unimportant money and food accounts in the army. Received a knighthood award.

In terms of ability, the Wu family is not outstanding, so the title of Duke Ying is nothing in Chang'an City.

Even though Wu Yuanqing is the Duke of the country, Fang Yiai is only the second son of the Fang family, but Fang Xuanling is alive, and he is highly valued by the emperor Li Shimin, not to mention that Fang Yiai is still a captain, the future will not be as transparent as it is now. The samurai can match.

Wu Yuanqing's intention to flatter is obvious. Fang Yiai came here as entrusted by others, and he said Wu Mei's request to see Yang himself.

Wu Yuanqing pondered, but did not immediately agree.

His expression became even more gloomy. Fang Yiai picked up the tea bowl and wiped the lid of the matcha tea, but didn't drink it, just waiting for the other party's answer.

"My mother is not feeling well, and it's been a long time since I went to see my younger sister at the palace gate. My elder brother is busy with affairs, and it's also a forbidden place in the palace, so it's not easy to ask someone to see my younger sister. I actually disturbed the concubine." Wu Yuanqing He said for a long time.

The word "mother" made him say it very bluntly, obviously he didn't call it often.

Fang Yiai carried the letters and tokens that Wu Mei stuffed him in his sleeve, but these were not important, Wu Mei was also capable of entrusting a little eunuch who could go out of the palace to deliver the letter to Duke Ying's mansion, but the problem was that he couldn't see it at all. Only then did Yang himself earnestly beg Fang Yiai.

Fang Yiai refused to leave and insisted on seeing Mrs. Yang. After Wu Yuanqing said those words, he seemed to be fine and sent his servants to call Mrs. Yang.

Fang Yiai still got up on her own initiative, saying that she was an elder and should see Mrs. Xian Guogong.

From the perspective of Fang Xuanling, Yang, as the wife of a warrior Xun, is naturally a backup with Fang Yiai's father, Fang Xuanling, and can be regarded as Fang Yiai's elder, so when Fang Yiai made this request, she was very happy. Reasonable.

Wu Yuanshuang had no reason to refuse, and he did not want to offend Fang Yiai's identity, so he could be regarded as cooperating with taking him to the back house.

Mrs. Yang lived in a remote courtyard, and Wu Yuanqing and his wife had been allowed to live in the main courtyard long ago. Because Wu Yuanshuang used the name that Mrs. Yang was still alive, he never moved out of the west courtyard. This is also one of the reasons why Wu Yuanqing was unhappy with Yang's being in the mansion.

The furnishings and scenery in Yang's courtyard were obviously a little withered and lonely. Fang Yiai stepped on the fallen leaves, and there was a rustling sound of cracked dead leaves under her feet, which disturbed the rest of the people in the inner courtyard.

Yang, who was lying in the house, asked her personal maid, only to find out that it was Wu Yuanqing who brought the guests to visit her.

Yang Shi was slightly surprised, but with a flash of light in her eyes, she was holding on to her body that had been unable to get out of bed for several days, and asked her servants to help her dress up, picking out the best clothes to meet the guests.

Panting after two steps, Mrs. Yang finally arrived at the main hall for receiving guests.

Fang Yiai has long since discovered that there is not even a decent decoration in the main hall, and the house is still damp. There are messy spider webs hanging on the corners of the yard and even on the ridge of the house. There was even a small eight-legged spider that caught it suddenly. Wandering around in front of Fang Yiai made Wu Yuanqing feel ashamed.

Fang Yiai smiled gently, gently picked up the spider, and threw it out of the window, but the spider accidentally got into the face of Wu Yuanshuang, the younger brother of Ying Guogong who had just heard that Fang Yiai had come to the mansion.

Wu Yuanshuang scratched and scratched, almost embarrassed, reprimanded again and again, but it was Wu Yuanqing who listened to the shame and drank twice before Wu Yuanshuang came in to see Fang Yiai.

Yang was involved by the maid, Fang Yiai hastily apologized and said: "I wanted to visit the sick, but I might as well bother Madam to come out—"

"Cough cough, it's just a little illness cough cough." Yang Shi maintained her demeanor, she was not about to die, she had to dress up when meeting guests.

Knowing the persistence of some aristocratic family members, Fang Yiai sighed, and just by looking at Yang's face and breath, she knew that the other party was indeed seriously ill.

Yang also had no intention of dismantling Wu Yuanqing's bad treatment of her, but her daughter hadn't written a letter for a long time in the palace, and her younger daughter didn't reply to the letters sent by her messengers. Because of the long distance, I didn't even receive any news.

Fang Yiai took out the letters and tokens that Wu Mei had handed over to her. After reading it, Yang knew that it must be because of her stepson's actions that she fell ill in the mansion and severed contact with her two daughters.

Thinking about it deeply, Wu Yuanqing might make up his mind someday to get rid of his own obstacle.

Yang cast a cold glance at Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang brothers, but they were present, so she couldn't say anything to Fang Yiai, she just said everything was fine.

Wu Yuanqing also asked about Yang's condition with great concern, and said that he still wanted to invite an imperial doctor to see Yang, but their government was so weak that they couldn't invite a famous doctor.

Fang Yiai chuckled, and just said that he was acquainted with Dr. Zhang, a well-known expert in the Tai Hospital, and even Daochang Li of the Tai History Bureau.

"Li Daochang is good at keeping in good health, but I will introduce him to my wife someday." Fang Yiai is very kind, with a gentle smile, a look of caring for the elders and eager to help others.

Wu Yuanqing's complexion was not very good-looking, and he could only hold back, but he dragged the widow to explore the matter of the East Palace, and even talked a few words about the rebellion of King Qi.

Fang Yiai chattered. It seemed that he had said a lot of things, but they were all things that could be inquired at will. The two Wu Yuanqing brothers were patient, and were stunned for a while. Knowing some things, there is even a reminder to write gratitude to Fang Yiai.

A lot of what Fang Yiai said seemed to be a point, but if he accidentally misunderstood, there was nothing he could do.

……

Yang's body was weak, and Fang Yiai left soon.

After leaving Duke Ying's mansion, Fang Yiai looked at the plaque on Duke Ying's mansion and snorted coldly.

If it weren't for the existence of Wu Mei, the future empress, the Wu family might not even be able to make a splash in history, and it would have begun to decline as early as this time.

What's more, with the brothers Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang's "knowledge of people" and "short-sightedness", they will die sooner or later.

At night, Fang Yiai went to visit Duke Ying's mansion again, and found that Yang's illness was not a real illness—it was poisoning.

It's not accurate to say that, it's just that there are some inappropriate ingredients in the medicine that Mrs. Yang drank, which made Mrs. Yang suffer from chronic illness and weakness.

Yang was originally a healthy person, and her two daughters were also in good health.

Fang Yiai didn't bother to wake up Yang Shi at this time, she had already tapped the other's sleeping point, got a few needles and left.

On the second day, it was the palace imperial hospital who sent people to Ying Guogong's mansion for a visit. It turned out that the saint, for some reason, sneaked away for a long time, and suddenly issued a decree to send the imperial doctor to see the late Ying Guogong's wife. In the court hall, Wei Zheng also rarely praised the saint for caring for his subordinates and his benevolent demeanor.

Li Shimin was in a slightly better mood, but the battle reports of that evil son of King Qi's rebel army were getting worse and worse, which made the emperor furious.

However, Fang Yiai submitted a memorial while the emperor was dispatching troops, and directly called for battle!
