The jade fight of Liu Lang is thrown to the ground, and the sail is hung on the small boat of Xizi. The romance of the past is here now, and the fame and achievements of thousands of miles will not rest. The king has three hundred states.
Little sparrows know that swans and cicadas are out of their pockets. But they laugh at Luxi as if it is as big as a bucket. Are you willing to try your hand at a bull's knife? Shoujun Shuangyu Ou.

…
The matter of choosing a son-in-law by playing chess spread quietly in Dugu Mansion.
A few days later, Dugu Xiaozhong's mother, Mrs. Pei, hurried back to the mansion with a frown on her face. As soon as she entered the courtyard, she saw her husband, Dugu Zhonglei, concentrating on pruning potted plants. She was completely unaware of her appearance and was very angry.
She rushed to Dugu Zhonglei and shouted: "How long has it been since you still have the time to play with these flowers and plants? Let me ask you, is Xiao Zhong your daughter?"
Without raising his head, Dugu Zhonglei used flower shears to cut off a crooked tree trunk, and said jokingly: "Fourteen years have passed, please don't tell me now that Xiao Zhong is not my daughter? Haha."
Regardless of the cold stone surface, Mrs. Pei sat down on the stone pier in front of the flower bed and said, "At this moment, are you still following me as a pauper? Our father intends to betroth Xiao Zhong to a disciple of Taifu Xu, do you know?"
Dugu Zhonglei put down the flower shovel and flower scissors in his hands, wiped his hands with a cloth, and took some time to rest. He smiled and said: "Why should I take it seriously? I've seen this young man, he's pretty good."
Mrs. Pei said angrily: "What's so good? You men know how to deceive women like us. I just came back from the residence of Mr. Yang, the Minister of Civil Affairs. Mrs. Shangshu told me that this Baifu is just a small boy of eighth or ninth grade.
The school secretary is not even good enough to replace the county magistrate. With his small salary, it is difficult for him to live in Chang'an.
Erlang, are you deceived by lard? There are so many royal relatives in Chang'an, and you don't choose the heir apparent of the noble family, but you choose such a foreigner? You are not afraid of embarrassment, but I am afraid of embarrassment!
The wife of Duke Cui Min of Yue fell in love with the daughter of my younger brother's family and proposed marriage yesterday. The Cui and Pei families are getting married again, and they are a match made in heaven. There is one less marriageable child from the aristocratic family in Chang'an.
You said, Cui Min's young master is so good. He is handsome in appearance, brilliant in literary talent, and elegant in manners. People are eyeing our daughter eagerly. But our Xiao Zhong is not good enough, and he will look down on him. Can you say anything? We met once? Nothing further.
Okay. If you are stubborn, that's up to you. Now, it's better for my sister-in-law. Is my sister-in-law going to be granted the title of First-grade Lady? She's been very happy these past two days? She's so excited.
Let me tell you, tell me, father? Choose a well-matched family member for Xiao Zhongya. I, the mother, can only rest assured if he knows the family well."
Mrs. Pei's teeth were as sharp as a siege crossbow, and she kept talking.
Dugu Zhonglei smiled and said: "Speaking of knowing the roots of the family? This kid Bai Fu has a great connection with our Dugu family? It was only his father who personally selected him.
In addition, my brother-in-law, eldest son Sun Yanxing, is responsible for checking. He is also full of praise for Bai Fu. As we all know, my brother-in-law’s Yuedan comments are known as the best in the world. For decades, he has never been wrong. My brother-in-law has looked down on Xiao since childhood.
He cares about his own children. Our daughter is more precious than me. If he meets someone who is not a human being, how can he pull strings at will?"
Mrs. Pei curled her lips and said disapprovingly: "Think of it as his own! To put it nicely, why didn't he marry his daughter to Bai Fu? Instead, he betrothed her to Prince Qing Li Cong!"
Dugu Zhonglei didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said: "What nonsense are you talking about! My brother-in-law's daughter is eight years older than Bai Fu. Before getting married, Bai Fu hadn't come to Chang'an yet!"
Mrs. Pei also felt that what she said was inappropriate, so she couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Seeing that the atmosphere had eased, Dugu Zhonglei smiled, took his wife in his arms, and returned to the house tenderly. When he got to the inner room, he asked his servants to close the door and retreat, and then he said: "I'll tell you another secret. It's fine if you know it. Don't talk to her.
Others say that saving money will lead to death."
Seeing her husband's serious look, Mrs. Pei nodded in agreement: "Sir, don't worry, you still don't understand me after so many years? I won't even tell my biological brother what you reminded me."
Dugu Zhonglei nodded and explained slowly: "Father told me that in recent years, there have been visions in the sky. The three stars of Seven Kills, Greedy Wolf, and Pojun are in the Palace of Life.
The Seven Killing Star is a thief who disrupts the world. The Pojun Star is a general who dominates the world. The Greedy Wolf Star is a treacherous and deceitful person. Once these three stars come together, the world will definitely change hands and it is irreversible! In terms of this celestial phenomenon,
In the next one or two years, I am afraid that we will encounter major changes unseen in a century. There will be a catastrophe in the Central Plains. Chang'an is in danger, and the Tang Dynasty is in danger!
By then, not to mention that our aristocratic family may be in a catastrophe, even the Li and Tang royal families may be slaughtered. Once the mountain that balances power collapses, the higher you stand, the harder you will fall.
In the prosperous age of Kaiyuan, there had been peace for a long time. These young men in the capital were used to living well. They could talk poetry, drink, and dance, and write and write. Once there were swords and wars, they fled south in a hurry, and they had no time to take care of themselves. How could they take care of their female relatives at home? What's the old saying?
You mean? A phoenix in trouble is worse than a chicken. Marrying them will bring unpredictable fortunes and misfortunes.
On the contrary, when the war is raging and the smoke is everywhere, it is the time when the reckless heroes rise up to counterattack and emerge from the sky!
As the saying goes, when the sea is flowing, heroes can show their true colors!
Only a great hero can fight in all directions and swallow up thousands of miles like a tiger!
A green forest hero, a knight-errant hero, if in a peaceful and prosperous age, he might be a warrior, occupying the mountains as the king, and picking up the grass as the bandits. If the opportunity is better, he can just act chivalrously in the rivers and lakes, and enjoy the grudges. But when he encounters an iron horse, he will
In the great era of southern and northern wars, you can move the stars and fight, steal the sky and change the sun. Don't you see, the heroes of Wagang Village in the late Sui Dynasty, Dou Jiande of Hebei Province?
This Bai Fu is the proud disciple of the head of Qingxuan in Qingcheng. He is good at both civil and military skills and has strong martial arts. When he was in Yizhou, Jiang Yinnong of the Sichuan Gang took special care of him.
"Promote one and benefit two", the land of abundance, Yizhou has been prosperous and prosperous since ancient times. The Sichuan Gang has been operating in Bashu for many years, and its strength cannot be underestimated. Once the world changes, we must rely on the mountains and rivers to defend ourselves. We can attack when we advance, and we can defend when we retreat. Who can do anything?
The true dragon appears, assists the Ming Lord, marches north, aspires to conquer the world, and competes in the Central Plains!
Taifu Xu and Jiang Yinnong had always been on good terms, so they naturally understood Jiang Yinnong's intentions. After Bai returned to Chang'an, although he was framed by Li Linfu, Taifu Xu kept him with him, carefully trained him, and taught him all his life-long knowledge.
These are all today's masters. If they didn't take care of the roots, how would they spend their energy to take care of them?
If my brother-in-law’s prediction is correct, this Bai Fu is the one selected by the Sichuan Gang—the one who will compete in the world!”
