Chapter 1426 Choosing a husband and recruiting relatives
When Qin Lang returned to the palace, the princess sent a maid to invite him.
"Duke Zhao and other Changsun's family came to pay their respects. Your Highness is treating you and asked me to wait for the king here and ask the king to go."
The maid mentioned that Duke Zhao was Changsun Yan, the princess’ uncle’s cousin, and was also the eldest grandson of Changsun Wuji. Before, Changsun Wuji fell, and the male members of the Changsun clan were all exiled to Lingnan. The eldest son Changsun Chong was reported to be missing, but in fact he died in Lingnan.
When I arrived at the princess's place, I saw that the Changsun family was all there.
After receiving the imperial edict from the court to recover Wuji's official title, Changsun Wuji's family was rehabilitated and basically restored their official positions. Although they were only restored to the scattered official rank and had no arrangements for the duties, at least they were rehabilitated.
Especially Changsun Yan, as Changsun Wuji's eldest grandson, after his father died in Lingnan, he inherited the title of Duke of Zhao of Changsun Wuji. Company's 2,800 households, and the Haiyan Shi Fengzhou in Longyou were also given back.
The Changsun family's property was also returned to some of the houses and manors.
Changsun Yan and others knew very well that all this was hard-won. If Qin Lang had not contributed to it, it would have been so easy to rehabilitate? Even if it were rehabilitation, it would have been more difficult than to turn over the Changsun family, which had been completely defeated, but these are just one sentence for Qin Lang.
When Qin Lang came in, the two mothers from the Changsun family who came in with Li Lizhi, who just now held the hands of their brothers and nephews and cried.
Lizhi has also been comforting them.
"Yan thank the Grand Master!"
Changsun Yan knelt down directly for Qin Lang, and the other male members of the Changsun family also knelt down. Before they returned to Luoyang, they gathered in Guangzhou to discuss and came to Luzon to thank Qin Lang, and also to pay homage to his aunt Changsun and his cousin Princess Taiping.
Although Changsun Wuji has been rehabilitated and has been regained his official title, the Changsun family wants to return to Luoyang court and want to truly turn over, but it cannot be separated from the strong support of the Qin family. Otherwise, there would be no use to just having a few titles, a few fiefs, and some scattered ranks.
Only with real official positions can you have power. Those who have dispersed official titles are empty.
Qin Lang helped Changsun Yan to get up. This person is now the head of the Changsun family. Although he is only the third generation, the Changsun family has Changsun Wuji's generation, and even Changsun Shunde's generation, and Changsun Chong's generation, but Changsun Yan is the Changsun Changfang who has inherited the Zong. He assaulted the Duke of Zhao, which naturally represents the Changsun family.
Although this guy does not have the talent of his father Changsun Chong, he does not have such a good fate. When Changsun Chong was demoted to Lingnan, he was already a secretary-general, a Jin Zi Guanglu doctor, and a princess. It can be said that if Changsun Wuji did not fall, he would definitely be the prime minister in the future.
This is also the key to Li Yin's final insistence on sending someone to kill this brother-in-law. Changsun Chong is the future of the Changsun family, so how can he not eliminate the roots?
As for the eldest grandson of the Changsun family, although they had already been granted the fifth rank of the Sanfu in the dynasty at the age of six, they were appointed as the envoy of the Dushui envoy and the male of the Tingshan County, these are nothing. The top honorary relatives from the Zhenguan Dynasty, especially those who participated in the Jingyun of Xuanwumen, later went to Lingyan Pavilion and then entered the Zhengshi Hall, who was not the princess Ershang married the prince?
Whose children and grandchildren are all awarded the title of the rank of a young family?
"Your father followed me to fight against Tuyuhun, attack Dangxiang, rode his horse and attacked spears, and showed his power to Mantou Mountain, Qinghai, where the ancestors of the Changsun family made great achievements. It's a pity."
Changsun Yan couldn't help but have red eyes. Li Yin, the uncle of the foolish king, was ruthless and unrighteous. If the male members of the Changsun family were not scattered across Changliu Lingnan, he and his son Changsun Wuyi would have been killed with his father together.
"The Grand Master found the remains of the Grand Master for me. I am very grateful. The Grand Master rehabilitated my Changsun clan and we will always remember it in our Changsun clan..."
"Stop, we are all a family, so don't say such a thing. My father and I are both Princess Shang Shengzu. From your mother, you have to call me uncle. And I married your aunt and cousin. From here, you will call me uncle again. Do you think we still have to see each other like this in this relationship?"
Qin Lang's brother Qin Xun also married a Changsun Yan's aunt, and Changsun Yan's twelfth uncle married Qin Lang's half-sister. This relationship is really a very different relative.
Speaking of the Changsun family, Zhenguan and Kaiyuanchu were extremely prominent, especially in the first few years of Li Yin's reign, he became the number one noble family in the Tang Dynasty.
When Qin Lang left Luoyang, he advised Changsun more than once, but unfortunately, Changsun couldn't listen and ended up being almost destroyed by the destruction of the family.
At this time, my concubine Changsun came over to ask Qin Lang with tears in her eyes, "I just liked this child when I saw Yuan Yi. He is the eldest and great-grandson of the Changsun family. This year, he is already a heroic father. This child is smart and steady. Yunwen and Yunwu. I like it very much. I want to ask for Sanlang, and I want to choose a granddaughter at home and promise it to Yuan Yi."
Qin Lang looked at Changsun Yuanyi. The young man looked like Changsun Wuji. He stood there at a young age and did not recognize his child. He was very mature and steady, and even a little mature. From the first noble family in the Luoyang Dynasty to Changliu Lingnan, he has experienced the warmth and warmth of the world in the past two years. Although the Qin family sent people to give him a lot of care after all, the huge change in identity was still very fierce.
This young man is so steady at this time, and it becomes more and more valuable. You should know that many wealthy families often collapse after experiencing such great changes, especially when they are in their teens, which is more likely to collapse.
"This child has great prospects in the future and will surely revive the Changsun family and shine on Zhao Gong's family. In this way, I have a lot of children and grandchildren, and I have many granddaughters. Today, I will call all the granddaughters who are ten to twelve years old and have not yet made a marriage contract. You can choose your kid. Who do you like? As long as the girl doesn't refuse, the marriage will be decided. If the girl you like is unwilling, you can choose another one until both parties are satisfied, can you?"
Changsun Yan listened aside and quickly signaled his son to thank him.
The Changsun family has now reached this point. Without the help of the Qin family, how can we get back on it?
Especially after Changsun Chong and Changsun Quan's uncle and nephew who were hoped by the Changsun family died in exile, it was too difficult for the Changsun family to remember.
If Changsun Yuanyi can get engaged to Qin Lang's granddaughter, it will not only be that Changsun Yuanyi has a guarantee of the future, but also that the Changsun family will no longer have to worry after returning to Luoyang.
"Yuan Yi thanked my grandparents! If my grandparents don't abandon me, I'll ask a curtain in this hall, invite my cousins to come behind the curtain, let them observe me, and ask me questions behind the curtain. In the end, if anyone thinks I'm okay and is willing to get engaged with me, I'll just talk to my grandparents."
Qin Lang was really surprised now. This kid is doing one by one.
Qin Lang said he wanted to call all the granddaughters of the right age and asked the kid to choose. However, the kid now said he would set up a curtain in the hall, and then let the cousins of the Qin family observe and ask him, and they would choose him.
These words not only reveal that this kid is a polite child, but also his respect for Qin Lang and the Qin family.
The posture was very low, and the young ladies of the Qin family chose him instead of him.
"Okay, look at each other through the curtain. If anyone falls in love with you, I will let her come out to meet you. If you don't like it, you can still choose again."
For a moment, it became lively.
Changsun Wuji's sons, such as Changsun Huan, Changsun Jin, were of the same generation as Qin Lang, but their status was too different. Now that they have survived the disaster, they are even more in a very low posture when they sit in the Qin family's living room. Seeing Qin Lang so polite, Changsun Yuanyi actually asked Changsun Yuanyi to choose the lady of the Qin family, he couldn't help but feel a little jealous and envious of the boy.
Unfortunately, my grandson is not the eldest and great-grandson, so I don’t have this opportunity.
·······
The Qin family is prosperous and has a family of children and grandchildren. Qin Lang has twenty-one sons. Now he has nearly two hundred grandchildren and dozens of great-grandchildren. Naturally, there are many granddaughters, with more than one hundred granddaughters.
I was ten to twelve years old and had not yet been engaged, and there were still many more.
However, Qin Lang has only two legitimate sons. The eldest son Qin Yu is in his twenties this year. His oldest daughter is still a concubine, and he is only ten years old. The eldest daughter is only eight years old. As for Qin Lang's second son Qin Lun, he has not yet married, and has taken several concubines and several children, but they are all a few years old.
So at this time, the daughters who were called were born to Qin Lang's son. There were about a dozen of them of the right age. They stood behind and looked outside with some novelty.
Qin Lang walked into the curtain and said to the young granddaughters, "Look carefully. The young man outside is Changsun Wuyi, the eldest son of Duke Zhao of the Changsun family in Henan. He is twelve years old this year, but he is a very handsome young man with a bright future. If anyone of you falls in love, tell me that if you have anything to ask, you can ask the young man directly."
The girls were chirping and laughing as excited as a group of sparrows.
The cousins joked with each other while watching.
"If you have any questions, just ask!"
The girls of the Qin family are always bold, and at this time they are not restrained through the curtain of Taoism, so they are asked to raise all kinds of questions. Changsun Yuanyi is indeed answering questions in a polite manner and has both talent and knowledge. Qin Lang feels that the more he sees, the more he looks, the more he becomes.
In the last ten sisters, six or seven of them thought this kid was good, after all, he was the great nephew and grandson of Empress Changsun's family.
"Changsun Dalang, I have seven granddaughters who are all interested in you now. You said what to do now? You can't marry all seven, right? Otherwise, it's your turn to choose, and you can decide which one you like."
Changsun Yuanyi heard that seven of them were attracted by him, and they couldn't help but show some excitement, but they still restrainedly expressed their fear of being presumptuous, and asked Qin Lang to choose a lady from the Qin family for him.
Qin Lang looked at his granddaughters with anticipation.
"How about this, give your sisters seven ones one hydrangea, throw them down from the upper floor and let Changsun Dalang stand downstairs. Then, whoever he catches, he will choose who, what?"
The sisters nodded excitedly, thinking that the ceremony of throwing hydrangeas and choosing a bride is very good.
"Changsun Dalang, what do you think?"
Changsun Yuanyi also thought it was good, and even the others in the hall thought it was good. In this way, no matter who Changsun Yuanyi received the hydrangea, he would not hurt the hearts of the young ladies of the Qin family, nor would it make the Qin family unhappy. After all, the young ladies stood upstairs to throw the hydrangea, and Changsun Yuanyi would not see anyone. Whoever they received was all based on fate.
