Chapter 269: Chinese New Year's Eve

A few days of eating, sleeping and sleeping passed, and on the 29th, Emperor Zong wrote nineteen blessing words to the important ministers of the court and sealed the pen, and it was not until the third day of the first month that the seal was opened, and the entire court could rest for four days. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info Rongwangfu pasted the blessing word given by the emperor on the main entrance to show respect and gratitude, and of course, other mansions that received the blessing word were also posted at the most conspicuous gate.

In the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Zhen Wanyi got up relatively early, and when Chen was just waking up, Qi Rong put down the book in his hand, "Why did you wake up, did I disturb you." ā€

Zhen Wanyi shook her head, her sleeping red face looked extraordinarily energetic, "Today's Chinese New Year's Eve, we have to eat in the palace at night, we must not eat well, so we have to be heavy at noon, get something delicious, how about I personally cook a few dishes at noon today?"

Qi Rong took the clothes and shook his head, "Forget it, the kitchen is smoky, and the smell of oil and smoke is when you fry a dish, and you have to wash your hair and bathe after you finish it, and you have to take a nap in the afternoon, and you have to dress up, I'm afraid that the time won't catch up." Whatever you want to eat, let the cherries go, and her craftsmanship will suit your taste. ā€

Zhen Wanyi thought for a while, then agreed with Qi Rong's words, "Then let the cherry make a fish fillet pot, I haven't eaten fish for a long time." It's strange to say, this winter should be the most abundant time for fish, why isn't there any fish in the house?"

Qi Rong paused his hand and then handed over the clothes, "It is estimated that we did not specifically order it, so the government was not prepared, besides, the capital is not as good as the south, and the rivers here are frozen in winter, so it is not good to catch fish." ā€

Zhen Wanyi felt very eager to eat it when she thought of fish, "Then what should I do, I really want to eat sauerkraut fish head." ā€

Qi Rong thought of what Mama Mu ordered, this pregnant woman's taste changed a lot, and sometimes she suddenly wanted to eat a certain food, which was what the child in her belly wanted to eat. "Then I'll ask if there's anything in the kitchen, and if not, I'll have someone look for it." ā€

Zhen Wanyi looked at Qi Rong's back, and suddenly felt very guilty, Qi Rong was so good to her, but she became more and more ignorant, everyone was busy in the Chinese New Year's Eve, and she still wanted to eat fish here. But what to do, she felt that her saliva was about to flow out, and every taste bud was calling out for fish, sauerkraut fish. "Isn't that too much? ā€

On the side, Hu Niu stepped forward and continued to help Zhen Wanyi dress, "There are so many people waiting in the house, the princess doesn't say that she wants to eat fish, even the dragon beard and phoenix gall have to be brought to you." ā€

was persuaded by Qi Rong, Zhen Wanyi dispelled the idea of cooking herself, and after breakfast, she lazily leaned on the big pillow.

Qi Rong looked into the study, "In the past, the family used to write couplets with caution. ā€

Zhen Wanyi's eyes lit up, "The sixth brother hasn't written it a few times, most of them were written by my grandfather with the starling brother, does the prince want to write couplets?"

Qi Rong nodded, "Your Majesty gave you a blessing, and Scholar Dou Hua sent a couplet to paste it at the gate of the palace. ā€

Zhen Wanyi got up and walked to the desk, rolled up her sleeves and picked up the ink strip and began to grind the ink, "Since the prince has started to write, it is better to write more and send it to Zhen's mansion, the sixth brother is not in the capital this year, and the couplets at home may be written by the starling brother, and the prince must be happy to write a couplet and send it to his parents!"

Qi Rong smiled, "Didn't they all say that the water spilled by the married daughter, why is your basin of water still facing her mother's family?"

Zhen Wanyi glared, "My parents have saved a basin of water for more than ten years and poured it on the prince, shouldn't the prince repay the grace of dripping water?"

Qi Rong smiled indulgently, "It should, it should." That's too little, and there are at least ten thresholds in my father-in-law's house, and this king has written them. ā€

Zhen Wanyi pursed her lips and smiled, and then said: "Then you don't need to, the prince can just write the couplets on the door, there are starlings in the house, and the starling's characters have grown a lot now, and he can write couplets." ā€

Qi Rong practiced calligraphy first, "Brother Yan should take the township exam in three years, does his mother-in-law have other plans for him?"

Zhen Wanyi looked at the shade of ink that was enough, and then put down her hand, "Is there any, I've been busy with the sixth brother's affairs all this time." Besides, didn't that master say yes?"

Qi Rong didn't stop, and continued: "It's just good, Brother You is very smart and intelligent, but it is inevitable that there are many people under him, and his heart is too high. Therefore, this king plans to recommend a academy to Brother You, Nanlu Academy. ā€

"Nanlu Academy at the foot of Nanshan Mountain, known as the Nanlu Academy of Jiangnan Scholars!"

Qi Rong nodded, "Brother Xiu'er has been in the capital for almost a year, and I have also taken him to visit several great Confucians in the capital, and he has also gone in to study in Guozijian, what he lacks now is experience." When I traveled with your sixth brother for three years, I stayed in Nanlu College for a year and a half, where most of the outstanding children in the south of the Great Zhou Dynasty were gathered, and forty percent of the scholars in each imperial examination of the imperial court came from Nanlu Academy, and the champions of Wuxu and Gengzi were all from Nanlu College. Some time ago, when this king and Brother Xiu talked about Nanlu Academy, he was still a little arrogant, since this is the case, then he took advantage of his youth to go out and have a look, and also understood the opponent who will compete in three years, this king still hopes that Brother Xiu will be able to earn the champion body for the lady in three years. ā€

Zhen Wanyi didn't like to hear this, "How can Starling be as arrogant as you said, no one in his eyes, he is just too smart and doesn't want to waste time on some people and things." ā€

"The talent of the previous dynasty's eighteen buckets, writing a thousand words, relying on horses, was very favored by His Majesty, and was personally named as the champion of the royal front walk, but only half a year by the pedestrian division depreciated again and again, and finally fell to the Qixi border a poor mountain and bad water land as the Qipin county order, until death did not move. Do you know why?"

Zhen Wanyi shook her head.

"Walking in the officialdom is the most important thing to judge the time, no matter how talented you are, if you offend everyone, you can't do anything, and when you are useless in the eyes of the superiors, it is time for you to leave. ā€

Zhen Wanyi pursed her lips, "The prince said so much, doesn't he just want to say that those who can be officials are sleek people, and they must know how to be opportunistic?"

Qi Rong shook his head again, "No, no, the kind of people that the lady said naturally exists, but you can't generalize to the whole, and the court and the middle government are not pan-imperial history and the like, but the outspoken imperial history also has a choice, for example, your grandfather Old Lady Zhen was promoted by admonishing the concubine of the eldest princess's mansion back then, although he offended the eldest princess's mansion, but the eldest princess's mansion will not really give up everything to deal with the Zhen family, if the old lady advises the eldest princess's concubine to give it a try? Maybe His Majesty will not care about the death of the Qianming Palace." ā€

Zhen Wanyi pouted, she was not good at words, saying that these court affairs were not Qi Rong's opponents, and finally had to play tricks: "Anyway, you are not allowed to slander and belittle my starling." ā€

Qi Rong shook his head again and again, "Which eye of the lady saw that this king slandered and belittled Brother Xiu'er." ā€

Zhen Wanyi pointed at both eyes, "This one, and this one, both of them have been seen." ā€

Qi Rong pulled down Zhen Wanyi's hand and held it in his hand, "I just hope that Brother Xiu'er can be better, I would like to say that I don't want to go back to Beijing in the short term, then Brother Xiu'er has to gain a foothold in Beijing, so that you can have greater support, and our children will have the support of our uncle's family." ā€

Zhen Wanyi twisted her body and suddenly remembered something, but before she could study it carefully, she was pulled by Qi Rong to write a couplet, and she forgot the important thing she was about to remember.

The noon banquet was jointly organized by Cherry and Mama Zhang, and there were only Zhen Wanyi and Qi Rong at a table full of Eight Immortals.

Zhen Wanyi bit her chopsticks and thought about it for a few moments, and finally just asked, "I don't know how the two side concubines arranged it?"

Qi Rong first helped fill a bowl of soup and put it in front of Zhen Wanyi, "They have their own arrangements, you don't have to worry about eating yours." ā€

Zhen Wanyi breathed a sigh of relief, and unconsciously put on a relaxed and happy smile, this change Qi Rong saw in his eyes, hooked the corners of his mouth, and his eyes were full of doting.
