Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Page 1921

Five people sat in a circle, pushing cups and changing cups, drinking happily.

They are Wu Meiniang's two older brothers, Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang, and two cousins ​​Wu Huaiyun and Wu Weiliang.In addition, there was a Persian merchant named Hubahai.

Hu Bahai was drunk at this time, and said: "I said a few, is it so troublesome? Why don't you hold a banquet, just marry your sister to me!"

Wu Yuanqing smiled wryly and said, "How can it be so simple? Our Duke Ying's mansion is also one of the rich families of the Tang Dynasty. How can we marry our sister to a Hu businessman without a decent reason?"

Wu Yuanshuang said: "Brother Hu, don't worry, this is just a formality. Anyway, no matter how much dowry you pay, we will return it to you. As long as you don't forget what you promised us."

"You mean that after I win the first prize, I will share the soup with you?"

"It's not as simple as just drinking soup. According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, Tibetan businessmen can marry Han women, but they are not allowed to bring Han women back to the country. If you return to China, you have to return our sister to us."

"No problem! A wife is like clothes, and friends are like brothers and sisters! Wu Meiniang, I am willing to share it with everyone! But then again..."

Hu Bahai let out a belch, and said: "You guys are really strange. Wu Meiniang is indeed beautiful, but she is your own sister, and you can do it? Anyway, if it was me, I wouldn't Interested in my sister."

Wu Huaiyun said: "What do you know, you barbarian? This is called fat water not flowing into the fields of outsiders! This is what we play."

Wu Weiliang said: "I hate that the maid next to that bitch is too powerful, so that our brothers can't achieve what they want. However, she can't follow in the bridal chamber? As long as there is the first time, don't you worry about the second time? the third time?"

Hu Bahai said: "To be honest, that maid really has a special charm! When the time comes to subdue Wu Meiniang, she must not be able to escape from the hands of our brothers! When the time comes, one bed and two lovers, wouldn't it be a happy thing in life? Haha! "

Wu Yuanqing said: "Don't be too happy too early, that bitch asked me for an invitation today. Maybe someone will make something wrong at the banquet. We have to make preparations early."

Wu Yuan said calmly: "Brother, please rest assured, younger brother has already made arrangements, and he will definitely let Brother Hu win!"

Chapter 1772

When the time came, Guo Ye asked Yang Fengyi to perform the trick of disguise and changed her appearance.Then he took Kong Kong'er, Jing Jing'er and blood-sucking Taoist Qin Ying with him, and walked straight to Duke Ying's mansion.

There is a girl in my family who has just grown up, but she grew up in a boudoir and no one knew her.That's Yang Yuhuan.Wu Meiniang does not fit this situation.

In fact, Wu Meiniang has been known far and wide for several years under the propaganda of the Wu family brothers, and she is known as the number one beauty in Chang'an.

In history, His Majesty Li Er brought her into the harem after hearing about Wu Meiniang's "beautiful appearance and manner".

Of course, Wu Meiniang's beauty is indeed worthy of this title.

Today's banquet is no secret.The news that the Wu family brothers sent out invitations to find a husband for their younger sister had already spread throughout Chang'an.There are many people who receive the invitation.

At this time, before the gate of Duke Ying's mansion, there was already a lot of traffic and it was extremely lively.Wu Yuanqing stood at the door, welcoming all the distinguished guests.

As soon as Guo Ye winked, Qin Ying held the invitation and handed it over.

When Wu Yuanqing took the invitation and looked at it, his face changed. This invitation was handed to Wu Meiniang by himself, how could he not see it?

He clasped his fists at Guo Ye and said, "This man looks strange, where did he get this invitation?"

Guo Ye said: "My surname is Guo and my name is Dabao. As for this invitation card... it was a gift from Meiniang herself! Brother uncle, please accept my bow!"

"Don't! Don't!" Wu Yuanqing jumped to the side and said: "Guo, you can eat food but not talk! Who is your uncle?"

Guo Ye smiled slightly, raised his voice slightly, and said, "To tell you the truth, I and Meiniang are in love with each other, and I have made a private decision for life! You are not my uncle, who is my uncle?"

Wu Yuanqing gritted his teeth and said, "Private life?"

"Yes, although we don't have the name of husband and wife, we already have the reality of husband and wife!"

Although Guo Ye has money, he can't spend it indiscriminately.If Wu Meiniang had a good relationship with her family, he wouldn't mind giving more dowry.

but?Wu Meiniang's elder brothers are not as good as beasts, so Guo Ye is not willing to pay this wronged money.

Although he and Wu Meiniang are innocent now, this does not prevent him from talking nonsense and tarnishing Wu Meiniang's reputation, so as to relieve the pressure of bidding later.

Anyway, in the end he was going to marry Wu Meiniang as his wife, and Wu Meiniang's reputation didn't matter much.

However, what Guo Ye didn't expect was that Wu Yuanqing's mind was really good, and he immediately took the opportunity to explode, saying: "My good boy, how dare you make lies and slander my sister's innocence. Come on!"

At that time, more than a dozen strong men rushed out from behind the door, saying: "Yes! Do you have orders from the lord?"

"Shoot him out!"

"Yes!"

The brawny men roared upwards, unexpectedly, they agreed easily, and fell down even more simply!How could these people be the opponents of the three masters?In the blink of an eye, they were all knocked to the ground.

Wu Yuanqing said angrily: "Guo Dabao, you are so brave, you dare to behave wildly in front of Duke Ying's mansion! If you are sensible, get out of here quickly! Otherwise, I will call the yamen servant of Chang'an mansion with a post, and you will be killed tonight." Go to prison!"

Guo Ye curled his lips and said, "The yamen servants in Chang'an Mansion? They don't dare to trouble someone Guo. Do you know who I am, Guo Dabao?"

"Guo Dabao? Nobody, I've never heard of it."

"It doesn't matter if you haven't heard of me, as long as you have heard of my elder brother!"

"Who is your eldest brother?"

"Duke Qin of the Tang Dynasty, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, General of the Weifu, Commander of the Bad People's Congress, Order of Chang'an, Guo Ye Guo Ziyi!"

Of course Wu Yuanqing knew Guo Ye's name, his expression changed immediately, and he said, "I didn't hear that Qin Guogong has a brother?"

"We are sworn brothers, do you care?"

"Then what proof do you have?"

Guo Ye pointed at the people behind him, and said, "See, these are my elder brother's bodyguards, so they can testify for me."

Qin Ying and others saluted Wu Yuanqing together, saying: "Qin Ying (Kong Kong'er) (Jing Jinger), the first-class guard of Duke Qin's mansion, see Ying Guogong."

As Guo Ye's personal guards, many people in Chang'an City really recognize these three people!

Immediately, someone in the crowd whispered: "It's really Qin Guogong's personal bodyguard! I've seen all three of them."

"I also recognize it. It seems that this Guo Dabao is really favored in front of Qin Guogong!"

"Well, I really can't say what happened in life. Look at this Guo Dabao, he is not good-looking, and he can't see any extraordinary talents. How can he climb the high branch of Qin Guogong? Qin Guogong loosened his hand a little, It's enough for him to eat for a few lifetimes!"

Now, Wu Yuanqing is also a little dumbfounded.

Regardless of the difference between Qin Guogong and Ying Guogong, there is only one word difference, but the difference inside is too big.

Guo Ye's Qin Guogong earned it on the battlefield with a knife and a gun with his real skills.As for Ying Guogong, he mainly relied on the friendship between the warrior Xun and Li Yuan, which was a lot of water.

When it comes to Wu Yuanqing's generation, it's even more difficult, and it's all about the success of the noble.

As for the current power of the two, it is even more different.Guo Ye is a second-rank official with many part-time jobs, and each part-time job has a lot of real power.As for Wu Yuanqing, he is now a Zongzheng Shaoqing with little real power, an official of the fifth rank.

So, how dare Wu Yuanqing offend Guo Ye?
