Chapter 8 Name and Appearance

Bingzhou, Wenshui.

Fifteen miles northwest of the county town, at the foot of the western mountain of the remnants of Luliang Mountain.

The two men were holding horses and looking westward.

These two people, one is Li Mu, and the other is the guide he found.

Yesterday afternoon, Li Mu arrived in Wenshui County and stayed in the inn. He arrived here today.

"That's Guanmao Mountain. Look at the mountain, does it look like an Guanmao. On the left is Wulong Mountain and on the right is Hupi Mountain. It is said that this is a Feng Shui treasure land."

Li Mu did not go directly to the Wu family, but first went to the cemetery of Wu Zetian's father, Wu Shitang.

As the guide said, this is indeed a Feng Shui treasure land.

The mountain is Guanmao Mountain, and the left and right are dragons and tigers. Not only does it conform to the regulations of the green dragon on the left and white tigers on the right, but even the name of the mountain coincides with the dragon and tigers.

Feng Shui techniques in the early Tang Dynasty were not very developed and Feng Shui theory was not sound. It was not until Yang Yunsong of the late Tang Dynasty that there was a greater progress.

But for Li Mu, his Feng Shui theory and practical level are much higher.

This kind of dragon, the name of Tiger Mountain, is called "Watching the shape and drinking the image" in Feng Shui. It means that the name will have a Feng Shui effect.

The mountain is Guanmao Mountain, which is the ruler of the Wu family as an official.

The whole body of dragons and tigers is conducive to storing wind and gathering energy and raising energy.

The Green Dragon is the male, and the White Tiger is the female.

The Hupi Mountain on the right is taller than the Wulong Mountain on the left, and the shape is rounder than the Wulong Mountain, and the vegetation is more lush.

The lush vegetation proves that it is full of vitality and vitality.

Adding these elements together, Feng Shui is effective, so that women in the Wu family have a great future and are more promising than men.

This coincides with the future situation of the brothers and sisters in Wu Zetian's family.

Looking east, it is Nanxu Village, which is Wu Zetian's hometown.

Nanxu Village is located on a flat ground, which can be seen as the Mingtang of the tomb of the Warriors.

The Mingtang is flat and vast, and seems to be able to accommodate thousands of troops. At the foot of the mountain, it becomes a general platform.

When Wu Zetian became the emperor later, he could naturally order generals to send troops and command thousands of troops.

There is an official road to the east of the village, which has been around since ancient times.

Not far away there is a large pier, which is the beacon tower in ancient times.

Not far from the beacon tower, there is a station, which is still in operation.

Not far from the official road, the Wenyu River is like a jade belt, surrounding Nanxu Village.

Surrounding mountains and water is the requirement of the best Feng Shui.

The Wenyu River not only surrounds it, but also turns several times in the middle. The water flows slowly, as if it is unwilling to flow away, and cannot bear to leave.

This is called sentient beings, and it is also a reflection of good Feng Shui.

With such a great Feng Shui treasure land, coupled with family background and good personal education, it is not surprising that Wu Zetian becomes the queen and becomes the empress for the ages.

"When Wu Shangshu was young, he sold tofu from village to village. Later, he made a fortune in the wood business with Xu Wenbao."

Without Li Mu's request, the guide introduced it with relish.

The Secretary of Wu he mentioned was Wu Zetian's father, Wu Shiteng, who died as Secretary of Works.

"When Emperor Gaozu raised his troops in Taiyuan, Shangshu Wu defected to Emperor Gaozu and brought his family wealth. At the beginning, he became the leader of the Yingyang Mansion, and later the official became bigger and bigger. At that time, Emperor Gaozu often lived in the Wu family."

"Shangshu Wu later became the chief of Yangzhou, the governor of Lizhou, and the governor of Jingzhou..."

"This time he died, the emperor posthumously appointed as Minister of Rites, and the Duke of England came in person to handle the funeral. All the money and expenses were given by the court. The real founding heroes."

The British Duke was Li Ji, whose original name was Xu Shiji and Xu Maogong. Because of his great contribution, the royal family gave the surname Li.

"That house is Xu Wenbao's family. Although he has not become an official, he is now rich."

"That big mansion is the Wu family, and now there are three houses. Wu Shangshu is the fourth house."

Looking in the direction pointed by the guide, I saw a large house, which accounted for almost one-third of the entire village.

"Who else is there in the Wu family now?"

"The second house warrior Yi has passed away, leaving behind a son Wu Weiliang here, and is now in charge of the clan."

"The third-room samurai Jean has also passed away, leaving behind a son named Wu Yuantaka."

"The fourth wife is the Shushu Wu. The original wife, Li, gave birth to two sons and one daughter, had a daughter, and her daughter had died. She left behind the two brothers Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang."

"When Mr. Wu was away, he left Xiangli and his two sons at home. When his wife died of illness, Mr. Wu did not come back."

"Later, he married Mrs. Yang, the daughter of the royal family of the previous dynasty, and gave birth to three daughters. This time he returned from the capital and still lives here."

"What are the names of the three daughters?"

It seems to be at a critical point.

What is Wu Zetian’s name called?

"The eldest daughter Wu Shun, the second daughter Wu Ruyi, and the third daughter Wu Rou."

It turns out to be called Ruyi! It is neither Wu Hua nor Wu Mingkong.

No wonder the poem she wrote for Li Zhi when she was at Ganye Temple was called "Ruyi Niang". It turns out that the secret is here.

The mystery of more than a thousand years has finally been solved.

"The second girl is really called Wu Ruyi?"

Li Mu was a little unbelievable.

"Of course it's true. This young lady Ruyi is not only beautiful, but also familiar with the classics and history, but also has a very talented poetry. She is the best among the three sisters."

It is certain to have talent, otherwise you can't be an emperor.

As for the beauty of the flowers, I have to ask a question mark.

The aesthetic view of the Tang Dynasty seems to be somewhat problematic.

Although it is not as beautiful as later generations think, fat people are considered beautiful, but they still prefer plump and healthy beauty.

This standard is nothing, the key is another aesthetic standard of the Tang people.

He actually has a big round face as beautiful.

The Tangren actually thought that a Hepburn-style beauty like Adela was an ugly woman.

The difference in this aesthetic era is big enough.

A big round face is a big pancake face. This eternal queen Wu Zetian, if she had a big pancake face, it would be interesting.

"When Wu Shangshu's original wife passed away, he did not come back. The two sons were born to the original wife and the three daughters were born to the second wife. Now that these two sons and three daughters are together, are there any rift between each other?"

Now it is a man who controls the family, and the eldest son inherits the system. If Mrs. Yang and her three daughters are not done well, they will be treated as a burden. The relationship between the two parties is likely to be more subtle.

After being an official for so many years, the family property should be quite large. For the sake of the family property, if it is not done well, there will be problems.

This matter has been the same throughout the ages.

The laws in the previous life were so sound. In order to compete for family property, people often used their brains to make dogs' brains. It was normal for this phenomenon to occur in ancient society.

"Well, it's hard to say anything about other people's affairs. But the husband asked again, this, uh, this..."

Li Mu took out twenty cents and stuffed them into the guide's hand.

"Well, I heard that Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang are a little disrespectful to Mrs. Yang. Wu Weiliang, Wu Yuanzhong and other tribes are also a little dissatisfied with the orphan and widowed mother. Of course, I just heard about it, and the details are not clear."

There is no wind and waves. With this legend, it is almost a fact.

"My husband asked about these things, could he be going to the Wu family to apply for a tutor?"

"Career?"

"Yes, Mrs. Yang was about to hire a tutor for her three daughters to teach them how to study, but a notice has been posted in the Wu family's house."

Go as a teacher for the future queen?

This is a legitimate way.

He is so majestic, but what should I teach them?

This Ruyi girl is just a top student. I can’t understand the Four Books and Five Classics and other things myself, so how can I teach them?
