Yang Ming stepped forward, put his palm on Li Shimin's head, turned him around, and then kicked him on the butt, giving Li Shimin a bad taste.
This kid was quite stubborn. He got up from the ground and started chasing Yang Ming with a wooden bow.
Fortunately, at this time, Li Yuan's daughter-in-law Dou came over after hearing the news. When she saw this, she grabbed her son and gave him a slap on the ear.
Li Shimin was slapped until he fainted.
"The dog was naughty and disturbed Your Highness," Mrs. Dou quickly apologized to Yang Ming.
Yang Ming smiled and said it was okay, but saw Shimin's baby crying and being taken away by the wet nurse.
"Can it be completed?"
Mrs. Dou replied: "Your Highness, Jiancheng went out early in the morning, and my whereabouts are nowhere to be found."
It was all in vain? Yang Ming was somewhat disappointed.
Because he was a rare visitor and would never come to Tang Guogong's mansion, Dou saw that Yang Ming wanted to leave and hurriedly tried to persuade him to stay.
Yang Ming is now a new noble. He has entered the central government at the age of Wu Xiang (15-20 years old) and has great power. Although his husband Li Yuan is the Duke of the country, he is still several levels below others.
There were hundreds of princes, princes, and county princes in the Sui Dynasty. Once there were many knights, they would become less valuable.
Among them, the Duke is the most noble, but if you don't have any actual duties, others will not take you seriously.
Li Yuan's Zuowei General was obtained by Yang Guang for him. The Zuowei Mansion was the head of the Twelve Guards and was reorganized into thirty-six thousand. The current Zuowei General is Yang Jian, King of Yuzhang.
In addition to Li Yuan, the other left-guard general was Dong Chun, the Duke of Shunzheng County.
It was now approaching noon, Yang Ming thought, wait and see, maybe Jiancheng would go home for lunch.
In fact, Mr. Dou had already ordered his servants to go out and look for the person, and be sure to build it and bring him back.
Yang Ming sat down in the living room and looked at Mr. Dou for a few times. Then he remembered that after returning to Beijing, Mr. Dou was much plumper than before.
Especially in the lower abdomen, it is more obvious.
Yang Ming finally realized that Yuanji was also born.
Historically, Li Yuanji was born in the third year of Renshou, but now it is the fourth year of Renshou.
Li Yuan had four legitimate sons, the eldest was Jiancheng, the second was Minmin, the third was Xuanba, and the fourth was Yuanji.
When Li Yuan returned to Beijing, Xuan Ba had just been born, and he and Li Shimin were one year apart.
"Jian Jiancheng is now an adult, but which girl do you like?" Yang Ming asked with a smile.
Mrs. Dou thought that Yang Ming cared about her eldest son because Jiancheng had lived in Yang Ming's place before, so they had a friendship with him.
"Quinzi is stubborn and insists on seeing the girl's appearance before he can make up his mind. But they are all girls waiting to be married. How can he see them whenever he wants?"
That's what he can't do, Yang Ming thought to himself, I have met my two wives a long time ago.
In fact, people with backgrounds like Yang Yinjiang and Pei Shuying were not easily exposed to the public. Yang Ming only got to know them during a spring outing.
On weekdays, when the two of them go out, there is no family background written on their faces, so no one will recognize them.
This year's spring outing has been held, and the host is my mother-in-law, Mrs. Xiao.
Yang Ming heard from his mother that the overall quality of the girls participating in the spring outing this year was not high, far inferior to Yang Yinjiang's group.
But there are talents from generation to generation, and beauties are springing up like mushrooms after a rain, one after another.
Normal marriage in the Sui Dynasty, as Dou said, was almost like opening a blind box. After all, the parents had the final say on their children's marriages, and those big families generally only cared about their origins and not their looks.
A handsome guy like Li Jiancheng is determined to know what his future wife will look like, which will deter those who are interested in getting married.
It’s not that you don’t have confidence in your daughter, it’s that your actions are unreasonable and inconsistent with customs.
Yang Ming asked: "Can Jiancheng participate in this year's spring outing?"
Spring outing is the only opportunity to see the woman's face.
"I went," Mrs. Dou nodded and said, "I fell in love with three girls from the Yuan family, the Pei family, and the Cui family, but I couldn't live up to my expectations and didn't steal the others."
At this year's spring outing, the most popular one is Yang Ni, the daughter of King Wei Yang Shuang. With the help of her mother's concubine Xiao, she is planning to marry Liu Yi, the son of Prince Xian Ma Liu Pin (bian).
Liu Pin was also from the Liu family in Hedong, but his family had migrated to Xiangyang as early as the Yongjia Rebellion in the Western Jin Dynasty and had nothing to do with Liu Shu.
Li Jiancheng fell in love with three people during the spring outing, but none of them were successful. This was related to his own charm, but it also had to do with Concubine Xiao's lack of efforts to match them up.
Dou was so fawning over his mother-in-law that she didn't give him any face. The reason was that Dou had a whim and wanted Jiancheng to marry Yang Ming's sister Yang Chan, which offended her mother-in-law.
Yang Ming knew very well that many marriages on the spring outing were predetermined, and without external assistance, high-quality ones would never be completed.
Women are particular about getting married. Li Yuan's current title is quite impressive, but his official position is not high enough, which drags down his son.
Seeing that Yang Ming remained silent, Mrs. Dou cautiously asked, "Your Highness is related by marriage to Mr. Pei from Hedong. Are you familiar with Mr. Pei Yun?"
Come on! Yang Ming finally figured it out. The girl from the Pei family that Li Jiancheng was interested in was probably related to Pei Yun. Dou didn't want to give up.
"We don't have a close relationship. If you have any ideas, Madam, just tell me," Yang Ming said with a smile.
Hearing what Yang Ming said, Mrs. Dou was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Jian Jiancheng has taken a fancy to Pei Shaoqing's daughter, but the son of Yushi Liutiao, the censor of Yushitai, also fell in love. The two had some unpleasant troubles during their spring outing. .”
What's unpleasant is that it's just jealousy.
Jiancheng was married to Pei Yun's daughter, so they were a good match. As for Liu Tiao, he had a direct confrontation with Yang Su. He himself was not very good, but his father was Liu Ang.
Who is Liu Ang? That is Emperor Yang Jian's best friend.
Of course, Liu Ang has passed away, so Liu Tiao has nothing to rely on now.
Yang Ming asked: "So, who did Pei Shaoqing's daughter fall in love with?"
If two men compete for one woman, then the daughter will have the initiative, and who she chooses depends on her wishes.

Mr. Dou hesitated and said: "Jian Jiancheng said that the Pei family girl is interested in him."
Just take out the trash. If people were really interested in him, wouldn't he have succeeded long ago?
From Yang Ming's point of view, of course he hopes that Pei Yun's daughter can marry Jiancheng. After all, Liu Tiao and Yang Su are mortal enemies, and they are relatively close to Liu Shu's branch.
And Li Yuan is now his father Yang Guang's son.
It was at this time that Li Jiancheng came back from outside.
After meeting Yang Ming, Jiancheng was overjoyed: "When I heard that the Yang family's brother came home, my little brother ran back in one breath."
No matter their status, the two of them are too far apart, so on weekdays, Jiancheng doesn't even have a chance to meet Yang Ming.
But he always kept in mind that he had the backing of Yang Ming.
At least he thinks that Yang Ming is his backer.
Yang Ming smiled and said: "I just talked about you with my wife. What happened? Did you stumble on the spring outing?"
Li Jiancheng's appearance has now grown longer. He has a square face and is quite handsome. He is tall and powerful. His face shines when Li Yuan leads him out.
Such a good young man should be able to compete with others.
Jiancheng smiled and replied: "It's just a fight with someone, it doesn't count as a loss."
Yang Ming smiled and said, "What's the name of Pei Yun's daughter?"
Jiancheng glanced at Nai's mother first, and after getting the hint, he hurriedly said: "Her name is Pei Xi, she is a good girl."
Look at that nymphomaniac look on your face, isn’t it embarrassing? Yang Ming couldn’t help but laugh:
"Can I make a date?"
Jiancheng shook his head secretly: "After the spring outing, I invited him several times, but we couldn't meet."
Yang Ming smiled slyly and said, "Do you need my help?"
Jiancheng was overjoyed when he heard this and bowed directly to Yang Ming: "If brother Yang is willing to help, little brother... little brother..."
"Okay, okay, I don't need you to go up mountains of swords and seas of fire," Yang Ming waved his hand: "You go to Jinyang Tower and wait for me tonight, and I will bring you out."
Next, after chatting for a few more words, Yang Ming said goodbye and left.
Mrs. Dou sent Yang Ming out of the house, then took her son's hand and called the maid to prepare the clothes for Jiancheng.
The eldest son is handsome and the mother is naturally happy. No matter how you look at it, you feel that the son is the most pleasing to the eye.
"When we meet tonight, don't talk nonsense, and do everything according to His Highness's eyes," Mrs. Dou arranged her son's collar with a smile, a smile on her face.
Yang Ming has great reputation. If he is willing to help his son get married, then this marriage will not go away.
After all, Jiancheng is already sixteen years old. If he doesn't get married again, he will be ridiculed.
Li Shimin stared at the side with curiosity on his face. Jiancheng learned from the people in the house that the second son had offended Yang Ming, so after he finished dressing up, he took Shimin to a dark corner and tidied him up again.
.
He received two beatings in one day, both of which were inexplicable, but starting from today, Li Shimin knew that the man in mourning clothes today was not easy to mess with, and he had to stay away when he saw him in the future.
Yang Ming wants to ask Pei Yun's daughter out, it couldn't be easier.
Even if he named her and asked her to be his concubine, Pei Yun would not dare not agree.
Of course, since Yang Ming was the Yuelao this time, he still had to give him face, so he asked Pei Shuying to go to Pei Yun's house in person and bring him out.
Pei Shuying and Pei Xi are the same generation in the clan, but Pei Xi is only fifteen years old this year, so she has to call Pei Shuying sister.
If your sister calls you out for dinner, there is no reason to refuse.
In the private room of Jinyang Tower, when Yang Ming saw this girl from the Pei family, he couldn't help but marvel at what a good vision it was built.
She is naturally beautiful, gentle and pleasant, and her beauty is delicious.
If the girl in front of me had a better background, she would definitely be the material to marry into the royal family. She must not be built on the cheap.
It's a pity that family background is the first priority when it comes to marriage.
Pei Yun is not good enough now, but during his father's future reign, Pei Yun will be in charge of the center together with Yu Wenshu, Su Wei, Pei Ju, and Yu Shiji, which are the five nobles of Emperor Yang in history.
After sitting down, Yang Ming winked at Yu Wenlan, who quietly left and went to the back garden to call Jiancheng, who had been waiting for a long time.
The moment she saw Li Jiancheng, Pei Xi already knew what was going on tonight.
She does not reject Jiancheng, after all, he has a good background and treats her with great respect.
Li Jiancheng sat down in fear, with his back straight and his whole body as awkward as a statue, and he did not dare to look directly at Pei Xi.
When Pei Xi saw this, he couldn't help covering his sleeves and laughing.
Yang Ming and his wife looked at each other and knew that something was going on tonight.
Jiancheng didn't brag, and people still had a good impression of him.
