Chapter 253: Don't go to the New Year's banquet
The cold wind howled outside the car window. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
hit Yao Hongyi's face, it hurt like a knife.
However, his mind did not sober up at all, but became even more confused.
"Seventy thousand...... Six thousand...... Village...... Seventy-six thousand miles?"
Mumble and repeat.
From Hejian Mansion in the northernmost part of the Great Song Dynasty to Qiongzhou in the southernmost place, it is only more than 5,000 miles.
Even if you go from Bianjing to the Three Buddhas at the end of the world, it is expected that it will not exceed 10,000 miles, right?
76,000 miles......
Another biting cold wind blew in his face, and Yao Hongyi came back to his senses slightly.
"Disciple...... It's hard to imagine. β
The corners of Pang Ji's mouth twitched slightly, and for a moment, the hand on the corner of his clothes was released slowly, slowly.
Just as he was about to speak, the carriage slowed down leisurely.
The yellow sand is light, and the horse's hooves have stopped.
- "Sir, it's here. β
The groom said respectfully outside the window.
Yao Hongyi was like a dream, and couldn't help asking, "Where have you been?"
"Yufu Slope. β
Pang Ji replied succinctly, lifted the robe under him, pushed the door and got out of the car.
"Why are you here?"
Yao Hongyi followed Pang Ji's pace and asked in a daze.
Twilight is getting thicker.
Pang Ji stopped when he heard the words and did not look back.
"Because I haven't been here for a long time. β
He looked ahead.
The unmelted snow covered the yard in patches.
The two rows of tall magnolia trees have long since lost their flowers and leaves, and only the bare branches remain.
Depression.
The feeling of depression that came from the invasion made Pang Ji's nose sour.
In the center of the courtyard gate, even the plaque with the words "Yufupo Teahouse" was removed at some point.
"The last time I was here......" Pang Jiqiang held up a smile, wanting to dilute the inexplicable sourness in his heart: "It's still the summer of Chunzhao's twenty-first year." β
Yao Hongyi stiffened slightly, he clearly saw that his teacher's eyes were slightly red, as if tears were rolling in his eyes.
"Teacher, what kind of place is this?" he kindly turned his head away, and could not bear to look closely.
"It's a teahouse. β
Pang Ji sighed and recalled: "In the past, Master Wei and Le Song often came here...... Even Chinese New Year's Eve night was no exception, and we talked about losing track of time, and we both spent our Chinese New Year's Eve here for a few years......"
As they spoke, the two entered the courtyard.
The tea tables and tea chairs that used to be placed here and there are no traces.
Only, only under the third magnolia tree counted in from the door, a coffee table was placed.
and two bamboo chairs.
β¦β¦
Inside the Peony Pavilion.
Therefore, this kind of chart with the length of the rectangle as a variable and a series of stripes of different heights to show the distribution of data is a bar chart. β
The large rice paper hanging on the wall is full of various patterns.
Lelin pointed to one of them and explained in a vague manner.
Everyone in the museum hurriedly copied their notes and concentrated.
Chai Jue thought for a moment and asked, "Histograms are also used to represent proportions, or to compare single variables, right?"
"Exactly. Le Lin said.
"What if you want to show how the data changes between different variables?" Chai Jue continued.
"Actually, a histogram can also represent change, but it's not coherent enough. If you want to represent changes consistently......" she thought for a moment and said, "a line chart would be more appropriate." β
With that, Le Lin turned a new page of rice paper and carefully drew a line chart.
Looking back, he was about to explain, but found Yu Maocai standing outside the door.
After two or three quarters of an hour, Le Lin had noticed that he was behaving strangelyβsometimes looking at the sky outside the door, sometimes pacing back and forth anxiously.
From time to time, he quietly peeked at Chai Jue with a anxious look.
"Guard Yu, you have something to find the Third Highness, right?"
She kindly asked.
Yu Mao stopped talking again.
Even Chai Jue became curious: "What is it?" But it doesn't hurt to say it. β
"...... tonight" Yu Maocai exhaled, gritted his teeth, and blurted out: "Tonight is the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, if Your Highness doesn't leave to return to the palace, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up with the New Year's banquet." β
"Ah, Chinese New Year's Eve!" Wen Yanbo was awakened by his words and sighed: "The old man actually forgot that tonight was Chinese New Year's Eve." β
Sima Guang stopped writing, picked up his robe, and asked, "Master Wen wants to go back to the house first?"
Wen Yanbo stroked his long beard, and his black eyes were unpleasant: "Chinese New Year's Eve is every year, and there is nothing particularly rare, and it is not very different from ordinary days." β
"That makes sense!" Sima Guang raised his eyebrows and smiled approvingly.
"The old man is not going home. Wen Yanbo said.
"The lower officials did not reply. Sima Guang said.
"So-and-so, I don't go back. Wang Anshi also said.
Le Lin asked Chai Jue with concern: "Having said that, the annual banquet in the palace is late...... Is it considered 'great disrespect'?"
In the past, in costume TV series, those emperors and sons of heaven would say at every turn that their courtiers committed the crime of "great disrespect", and they should be punished and beheaded.
Chinese New Year's Eve such an important festival is absent from the New Year's banquet......
She couldn't help but worry about her friend.
Chai Jue was amused by "him's" trembling and sincere expression: "It's too much to judge the crime of 'great disrespect'. β
In ancient times, "great disrespect" referred to the crime of disrespecting the monarch, which was called disrespecting the emperor.
This usually includes theft of royal goods, threats to the emperor's personal safety due to mistakes, and disrespect for the emperor and his ministers.
Being late for the New Year's banquet is really not a "big disrespect".
He asked Yu Maocai again, "What time is it?"
"Your Highness's words, two o'clock. β
"Hmm...... It's very reluctant. β
Chai Jue frowned slightly.
Yu Maocai hurriedly replied: "If you can catch up, you can catch up!" The villain will be quick to whip up the horse and ensure that he will be able to return to the palace before the hour. β
"But I still have to bathe, freshen up, and change my clothes......"
The annual banquet of the palace has its own unique exquisiteness, how can you wear dusty clothes to the banquet?
Chai Jue only thought about it for a moment, and said decisively: "Don't go." β
"Not going?"
Yu Maocai was even more shocked, and his voice trembled.
"Well, no. β
Chai Jue repeated affirmatively, his voice steady and firm: "Since it's not the banquet I really want to go to, it's better not to go." β
Le Lin was also taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "If you don't go, it's considered 'disrespectful', right?"
Chai Jue turned his head sideways and looked at her, as if he saw something unusual, and a soft light flashed in his clear eyes.
Le Lin paused slightly, dazed and at a loss.
Suddenly, Chai Jue laughed loudly: "This palace is a prince anyway, at least it is 'disrespectful' to insult his father in person." β
"Really?"
"It's far from being done, don't worry. β
Seeing that Le Lin's sad face was still incomprehensible, he smiled undiminishedly, and said softly and comfortingly: "It's just a family banquet." β
"Hmmm......"
Le Lin couldn't help but soften her expression.
But when she raised her eyes, she inadvertently came into contact with Chai Jue's gentle gaze, her face, for some reason, a strange burning sensation surged.
Inexplicably hot.
Even his heart trembled faintly.
This kind of polite, thoughtful consideration, Le Lin has not said to others.
This kind of hypocritical prevarication and concession.
