Eighty-seven, I will fill the cup in front of me

Lin Dai, the governor of Fenghua, arrived in Beijing by boat on July 27. Zhou Xuan, Fairy Jingyi, Lin Hanyun, Lin Heishan, and Qi Hong went to Bailuzhou Wharf to greet him. Lin Dai suddenly discovered that his eldest daughter Daoyun was not wearing Taoist clothes, but was dressed in elegant ladies, without covering her veil, and her face looked like a June lotus. Her shy and graceful attitude made her father Lin Dai feel strange.

Lin Dai had many followers, and it was impossible for him to live in Xiangluanfang. He went to the shore of Mochou Lake to rest. That night, when his son-in-law Zhou Xuan went to the shore of Mochou Lake to pay his respects to his father-in-law Lin Dai, he looked a little embarrassed. He had already married Lin Dai's daughter. Now he proposed to marry the Lin family's daughter. Zhou Xuan himself felt a little ridiculous.

It was Lin Hanyun who helped him get rid of the siege and said bluntly: "Dad, my sister and Zhou Xuan are in love. My sister wants to return to secular life and marry Zhou Xuan. Please forgive me."

Although Lin Dai had a premonition, he was surprised for a long time and asked, "Son-in-law, are you not afraid of rumors?"

Zhou Xuan naturally had to express his love generously, and Lin Dai nodded repeatedly. The son-in-law Zhou Xuan was a man of great fortune, and only he could marry Daoyun.

Lin Dai was overjoyed. His daughter, who became a monk, returned to secular life and married into the Prince's Mansion of Pingnan County. This is a good thing. The two daughters marry one husband, and the two sisters can help each other, and the power in the Prince's Mansion of Pingnan County is also greater.

Zhou Xuan also said: "The son-in-law will never let down Sister Daoyun. After the country's mourning, he asked the Queen Mother Xiao Zhou to give her a marriage and would marry Sister Daoyun in a grand manner."

Lin Dai was very pleased.

On July 28, the Minister of War and the Duke of Hongzhou County Chen Kai returned to Beijing from Zhaowu's army. Zhaowu Jiedushi did not dare to disobey the general trend and sent his son to Beijing as a magistrate. The other Jiedushi either came to Beijing in person, or sent his eldest son, the judge and the courtroom to Beijing to celebrate Li Jian's ascension to the throne. The whole country of Tang was really in a stable and prosperous scene.

On July 29, news came that the death of Zhao Defang of Shu and Song Dynasty was reported. Sichuan was divided, and Sichuan and Song Dynasty had been destroyed in the past 30 years of Hunan. At this time, the Song State of Zhao was basically unified the Heluo region of the Central Plains. Compared with Liao and Tang State, the Song State had the strongest national strength. However, this time, the new king of Tang State ascended the throne, and the Song State sent a group of ambassadors headed by Prime Minister Kou Zhun to express their importance to the Tang State. The deputy envoy of Song State was Yang Zongbao, the Duke of the Palace Front Office. Yang Zongbao was only a fifth-rank military position and was not qualified to serve as the deputy envoy because he had friendship with Zhou Xuan, who was in the prime of the Tang State, so he was selected.

The State of Song had learned that the Prime Minister of the Great Liao, Han Derang, came to congratulate Li Jian on his ascension to the throne, and also knew that Han Derang had a relative of his father-in-law and son-in-law with Zhou Xuan. The monarch and ministers of the State of Song were very wary of the marriage between Liao and Tang, so he sent Prime Minister Kou Zhun to the State of Tang this time, with the purpose of not allowing Liao and Tang to form an alliance to deal with them together.

Yang Zongbao came to see Zhou Xuan in his private capacity that night, talking about Liu Shouzhen of Dai Ming Mu Guiying. Yang Zongbao said: "I have signed a marriage contract, and the best time is on the eighth day of October."

Zhou Xuan said: "Then I will come to ask for a glass of wedding wine at that time."

Yang Zongbao looked embarrassed and whispered: "Brother Zhou, it's better not to meet him. During this period, she often felt alone and said that she always felt that she had forgotten something. Brother, I love and fear. Maybe one day she will remember that she is Liu Shouzhen."

Zhou Xuan said: "It's okay to remember. She hates me and has nothing to hate for you. Also, you have to hurry up and let her give birth to a man and a woman. Is everything going to be fine - then I will let Liusu attend your wedding on my behalf. Liusu and Mu Guiying are sisters."

On the first day of August, Li Jian officially ascended the throne and changed his reign to Yonghe. Lin Dai was granted the title of Duke of Jiangzhou County, Zi Lin Feng and Lin Duo, each of whom was promoted, and all other officials were rewarded.

On the second day of August, Li Jian met Kou Zhun and Han Derang in the Baoyuan Hall of Daxing Palace. Zhou Xuan naturally also wanted to participate. The three parties represented their own countries and finally reached the "Jinling Alliance" in which the three countries are not aggressing and mutual trade exchanges. How many years can this alliance last depends on whether the situation of the Three Kingdoms has changed. If the strength and weakness are divided, there will be no peace if the balance of strength cannot be maintained, but at least there will be temporary peace in the next ten years.

Relatively speaking, "Jinling Alliance" is the most beneficial to the Tang State. The Tang State can take this opportunity to destroy Wu Yue and attack the Southern Han Dynasty, and have sufficient room for development.

The Song delegation stayed in Jinling for six days before leaving for Kaifeng, but Han Derang continued to stay in Jinling. Han Derang had to wait until his beloved daughter married Zhou Xuan and then return to Nanjing, Liao by sea. The wedding date has been set, August 12th.

When Xiao Zhouhou heard Zhou Xuan’s request that she come forward to marry Lin Daoyun to him, he couldn’t help but laugh and asked, “Nephew Xuan, isn’t that female Taoist Lin Daoyun unwilling to marry? Last year, my palace told her that she wanted to marry her to you, but she didn’t want to – you said it was useless, let Lin Daoyun come to see me in person.”

Lin Daoyun entered the palace with full makeup. Xiao Zhou Hou met her at Hua'e Xianghui Tower and had a long chat with her. Then she summoned Zhou Xuan to meet with her with a smile and said, "Very good, Murong Liusu, Yang Xiaopin, Lin Daoyun wants to marry me. My aunt has become a matchmaker. Don't hate me when Huzhu!"

Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "The princess is virtuous and gets along very well with all the girls."

On August 12, the story of Zhou Xuan, the Prince of Pingnan, was given a marriage by the Empress Dowager to welcome three wives. It was so prosperous that it was so prosperous that it was circulated in the Tea House of the Tang Kingdom many years later. The adverse consequence was that those men who had married concubines were very troubled, because those concubines moved out of Prince of Pingnan, Zhou Xuan, for reasons, saying that Zhou Xuan was equal to all wives and concubines, and being a princess was no exception. Therefore, they also demanded equality with their wife. Every time they fought against each other, it was a troublesome for the men. Those men who were deeply troubled would whisper Zhou Xuan: "Even if the Prince of Pingnan was literary and elegant, they were overseas barbarians. What is the equality of eight wives? It was simply a mess of Chinese etiquette!"

Just the day after Zhou Xuan’s wedding, Liu Shousu of Southern Han also sent envoys to congratulate the new king of Tang for ascending the throne. The Southern Han Dynasty was remote and it was already mid-July when he arrived in Jinling. When Li Jian arrived in Jinling, the ceremony of Li Jian ascending the throne had long passed, but Li Jian still wanted to be treated with courtesy and solemnly received the meeting.

The envoy of the Southern Han Dynasty was Ye Feibai, who was the last time he was envoy to Song State. Zhou Xuan had an old acquaintance with him. He knew that Ye Feibai would ask Princess Yuexiu Liu Shouzhen when he came here. Sure enough, Ye Feibai prepared a generous gift that night and came to Xiangluanfang to pay homage to Zhou Xuan. After a few greetings, he went straight to the topic and asked: "Do you know the news about Princess Yuexiu in my country?"

Zhou Xuan said: "Since I parted in Kaifeng in March, I have never seen your princess again. Has your princess gone north again?"

Ye Feibai stared at Zhou Xuan, trying to see the authenticity of Zhou Xuan's words, but Zhou Xuan was calm and his language was flawless.

Ye Feibai frowned and said, "In Kaifeng, the princess of my country did not return to the country with the minister, but stayed."

Zhou Xuan said in surprise: "Stay stayed? Then I don't know. I took Neizi north to look for relatives within a few days."

Ye Feibai hesitated for a while and finally told the truth: "Prince, let me tell you the truth. My princess stayed in Kaifeng to follow the prince--"

Zhou Xuan was shocked and said, "What are you doing with me?"

"This--" Ye Feibai said: "Anyway, my princess is following you---The princess has hidden the princess of my country? Is it that the golden house hidden?

Zhou Xuan said with a stern face: "Enter Ye, don't make random guesses. To be honest, I can't hide from Princess Yuexiu, who dares to hide her!"

Ye Feibai thought about it and said with a frown: "Where did you go again? There is no news at all? I'm so anxious that Fairy Lu."

Zhou Xuansisui said: "You mean that the princess of your country wants to follow me, right? Oh no, that's because he's afraid there's so much luck!"

Ye Feibai hurriedly asked what happened? Zhou Xuan said: "Don't you know that Huang Jue Dike in early April? Tens of thousands of people were drowned. I was walking in the Juye Mountains at that time. If I hadn't been alert, I would have passed away with the torrent."

Ye Fei's face turned pale and could not speak for a long time.

...

On the third day after the Southern Han envoy arrived in Jinling, Zhangzhou Governor Pan Yujiao, the Marquis of Zhangzhou, came to Beijing from the sea to meet the saint, representing nearly one million Fujian Shanha to express allegiance to the new king of Tang.

Emperor Li Jian attached great importance to the Shanha clan in Fujian and comforted him. He gave him a banquet in Baoyuan Hall and granted the future chief of the Pan clan. Pan Yujiao's two-month-old son Pan Tianxiang was appointed as the Marquis of Changtai County and was awarded the title of the sixth-rank Tongzhilang.

On the day of the banquet, Zhou Xuan was there, but he did not see his son Pan Tianxiang. Pan Yujiao also looked like a low-ranking official meeting Shangguan, and was very respectful. Zhou Xuan could not find a separate opportunity to talk to her.

After the banquet was given, Zhou Xuan invited the governor Pan to Xiangluanfang as a guest. Li Jian said, "Yes, Pan's love is kind to my sister Princess Qingle, and cousin Xuan should invite her."

Pan Yujiao withdrew from Daxing Palace and took more than 20 men and women Shanha with Zhou Xuan to Xiangluanfang. The two of them took their own cars and had no chance to say anything intimate.

Zhou Xuan felt that Pan Yujiao looked a little strange, and seemed a little resentful, and he couldn't guess why? He blamed him for not choosing the name of his son well?

When she arrived at the Prince's Mansion of Pingnan County in Xiangluanfang, Pan Yujiao was warmly treated. Princess Qingle, Murong Liusu, and Xiaoqian all had friendship with Pan Yujiao, especially Princess Qingle. She was a mother for the first time and was particularly intimate with other mothers. When she learned that Pan Yujiao's son was two months old, she asked if she had come to Beijing?

The sewing needle on the side saw wet marks on Pan Yujiao's chest, and there was obvious milk overflowing. He smiled and said, "How can a two-month-old baby leave his mother? Lord Pan is even more reluctant to leave his beloved son in Zhangzhou."

Pan Yujiao had no choice but to say, "I brought it, I'm at the inn."

Princess Qingle hurriedly said, "Hurry up and have someone to carry you, I want to see Lord Pan's son--" and said, "Although Lord Pan is the governor of a state, he is a woman after all, so how can he live in the inn! Move to my Chuxiu Garden to live."

Pan Yujiao tried his best to refuse, saying that Pan Hutou was very noisy, and was a little unacceptable, and had diarrhea, so it was inconvenient to live here.

Unexpectedly, Pingnan County Prince's Mansion was full of talents, and the imperial physician ordered Qin Que immediately said, "Then I will bring you here, I will treat the little marquis."

Pan Yujiao had no choice but to resist Princess Qingle, Murong Liusu, and Qin Que's kindness, so he had to order people to go to the inn and ask Pan Qier to carry Pan Hu's head.

As soon as the little guy with the nickname Pan Hutou arrived, Zhou Xuan, Princess Qingle, and Murong Liusu were all stunned and looked at each other. Finally, they understood why Pan Yujiao refused to let Pan Hutou come. This Pan Hutou had thick eyebrows and thin eyes, and a smile was very clear, just like a little Zhou Xuan!

Zhou Xuan's wife group, led by Princess Qingle, remained silent and stared at Zhou Xuan to see what he said.

Zhou Xuan was stared at by more than a dozen eyes, sweating on his forehead, and said dryly: "This one looks quite a bit like this. Let's just say it. Panhutou is my son."

Pan Yujiao knew that she could not hide it. She never expected that Pan Hutou would look so much like Zhou Xuan. Mr. Qi only had a little like this. Two months later, his little face grew a little, his eyebrows became dark, and his eyes became slender. As long as he had seen Zhou Xuan, he knew that Pan Yujiao gave birth to Zhou Xuan's seed, which would ruin Pan Yujiao's big business. She never wanted to let people know that this was Zhou Xuan's son, because this would greatly hinder her ambition to make her son the king of Shanha. The Shanha people would not obey a great patriarch with the blood of Han people. But Pan Hutou had grown like this. What could Pan Yujiao do? Just think about it, be honest and be her Marquis of Zhangzhou and the governor of Zhangzhou.

Pan Yujiao said to Princess Qingle and others: "We Shanha people only know that they have mothers but not fathers. Don't worry, I will not stay here to compete for favor with you. At the beginning, I just borrowed seeds from the Prince of Pingnan."

After saying this, Princess Qingle, Qin Que and others felt a little sympathized with Pan Yujiao. Thinking about her as a woman, it was really not easy. They all generously asked Zhou Xuan to accompany the mother and son more.

Zhou Xuan and Pan Yujiao slept together at night. After a love affair, Zhou Xuan stroked Pan Yujiao's long legs and smiled: "Yujiao, you speak very heartlessly during the day. I really used me to borrow the seeds!"

Pan Yujiao half lay on Zhou Xuan, bit Zhou Xuan's shoulder gently, and said, "That's just what you said in front of your wives, hum!"

Zhou Xuan gently kneaded Pan Yujiao's beautiful buttocks and asked, "Why are you so humming, are you dissatisfied with your husband?"

Pan Yujiao said: "I hate you so much. The little guy looks so much like you. It's a big deal for me!"

Zhou Xuan knew Pan Yujiao's ambition and laughed, saying, "I must be careful in the future. The Shanha men know that I am Hutou's father, so they will come to kill me."

Pan Yujiao said laughing and cryingly: "That won't be so, do they dare? But my vow to the Snake King was completely ruined by the father and son!" As he said, Yinya bit his teeth and said: "I want to take revenge, I want to borrow seeds from you-"

So, the moonlight is everywhere and the sound of spring is everywhere.

...

Pan Yujiao liked Sanchi's daughter Zhou Xiaozhao very much, so she made an agreement with Sanchi and Lin Ning to marry Sanchi and Lin Ning, and agreed to wait until the tiger's head grows to six years old before sending it to Jinling to study.

In the third year of Yonghe, the Tang Dynasty divided its troops into three groups and advanced by land and water. In less than half a year, Wu Yue destroyed the country and was divided into the four major protectors of the Tang Dynasty.

In the same year, Zhang Sheng from the Eight Kingdoms of Zhongtian attacked Liu Shousu. Liu Shousu paid tribute to the Tang Kingdom for help. The Fenghua Army Lin Dai and the Baisheng Protectorate's Office had a total of 50,000 troops crossed Dayuling. After a year of war, he controlled most of the counties and counties of the Southern Han Dynasty, and the Southern Han Dynasty became a vassal state of the Tang Kingdom.

In the fifth year of Yonghe, Zhou Xuan brought seven wives, two sons, five daughters, and a family of Sanchi. He was full of carriages and horses, and then returned to Xinzhou to worship his ancestors.

The former Shangrao County Magistrate Li Tao had a very good official reputation. He was moved to the governor of Xinzhou and was appointed as the King of Pingnan and returned home. He led his troops to welcome him thirty miles away. When the old friends met, they were happy and could not say.

Li Tao had only one wife and one son. Seeing Zhou Xuan’s seven wives, all of them were as beautiful as flowers and their children were lively, I was extremely envious. I discussed with my wife that night, would it be better to take a few concubines and make the family prosperous?

Li Tao's wife who ran from Xuanzhou to this place was silent and grabbed Li Tao's ears, which made Li Tao lose the idea of ​​taking a concubine from then on. She thought to herself: "Not everyone can enjoy the kindness of King Pingnan!"

...

Zhou Xuan and his wife and children stood by Fengxi River in their hometown, thinking: "I will build a luxurious garden here imitating Suzhou Humble Administrator's Garden, and live here, and have a happy life. I will also make the casino of Xie's Manor the first entertainment destination in the Tang Dynasty, Cuju, Go, and fight insects... everything is coming, wouldn't it be happy! As for the world has not been unified yet, it's not my business. Brothers cannot spend their entire lives fighting for hegemony, destroy this and that, unify China and unify the world, and it is impossible to bring peace to the world forever. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and I will fill my cup in front of me-"

"Son-in-law-in-law-"

Lai Fu always called Zhou Xuan the son-in-law, and strode over and said in surprise: "Does the son-in-law know who Lai Fu saw just now?"

Zhou Xuan asked: "Which?"

Lai Fu shouted: "It's Mr. III, who is in charge of Yongfeng Yizhuang."

"Ah!" Zhou Xuan was surprised. Since the Sichi left without saying goodbye, he and Sanchi visited Yandang Mountain and saw the Erchi Ding Xiangxia and Wuchi. They all said that Sichi had come back and stayed for a few days before leaving the mountain, but it turned out to be in his hometown Yongfeng, no wonder they couldn't find it everywhere.

...

The Siniang still dressed up in men's clothes and had a strong figure with a small face. It was naturally because of the entanglement of cloth. How to catch crickets by several children in the Orthodox teachings suddenly heard someone behind him say, "Have Mr. Si improved his insect skills? Do you dare to bet with me?"

The Sichi's whole body froze, as if he had been lit. Somehow, tears suddenly burst into his eyes. After a while, he turned around and looked at Zhou Xuan who had not seen him for more than four years. He didn't feel unfamiliar. It seemed that he was just yesterday and asked, "What are you betting on?"

Zhou Xuan said: "You still owe me a bet, you won't forget it, right?"

The Sizi said, "I haven't forgotten, what did you say you want?"

Zhou Xuan walked over and said something in her ear, and the four fools ran away with a "scared" sound like a frightened deer.
