Chapter 145: Children of Chang'an
It was the New Year, the court officials were on vacation, and the officials who were serving outside the country also returned to their respective homes. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
The whole Chang'an City is happy, like a prosperous scene, but in fact, those who have money to play in Pingkangfang and linger in major restaurants are not ordinary people.
On the third day of the first lunar month, Jing Ci dressed in men's clothes, pasted a beard and painted thick eyebrows and went to Changque Tower for a banquet.
Sure enough, the table was full of acquaintances.
"Wang Shilang, you're finally here."
"I'll be waiting for you."
"Happy New Year, you've been waiting for a long timeβ" Jing Ci smiled.
There are four Lang Jun sitting on the table, namely Cui Lu, Li Longji, Xue Chongjian, and one ...... Lee Long Fan.
"It's not ...... Li Longfan Li Silang? I haven't seen you in a long time. β
"But no," Li Longfan greeted with a smile, "I haven't seen you for more than half a year, Siniang has changed her name to Shilang, which is much more noisy than when Tubo came to the court." Hey, but you really can't see your daughter's body at all in this dress, look at this beard, this posture ......"
"Haha-that's of course, Li Silang hasn't changed, as always, he's not serious."
Xiao Er brought all kinds of dishes one after another, and served a pot of wine.
Li Longji poured wine for everyone, and everyone raised a glass to wish a prosperous New Year. In the second round, Cui Lu poured wine for everyone and raised a glass to welcome Li Longji back to Chang'an for the New Year.
Xue Chongjian, who was next to Jing Ci, looked at her worriedly and whispered, "Are you okay?" β
"Xue Erlang, you underestimate her." Li Longji said.
"Hey, I'm Wang Shilang today." Jing Ci drank all the wine in the cup and looked at Xue Chongjian proudly.
New Year's greetings to each other, unconsciously have been drunk three rounds, plus Li Longji rarely came back to Chang'an, everyone has not been together for a long time, just want to have a good chat, so there is no wine order to drink and play.
"It's really melancholy to think that I will go to Longzhou to take up a post after the year, who wants to go to that kind of poor country." Li Longfan muttered, except for the prosperity of poetry and wine in Chang'an, he couldn't get used to it.
"Li Sanlang has been in Luzhou for so long and hasn't complained, and you haven't gone yet, so you're distressed like this."
"I'm different from San Lang, San Lang has big ambitions, I'm happy to poetry and wine music, let me go to Longzhou, wouldn't it be to suffocate me."
Li Longfan is a playful character, a veritable aristocratic prodigal son.
"Can Li Sanlang still adapt in Luzhou?" Xue Chongjian sighed, "With your talent, it's a pity to be sent to Luzhou." β
"On the contrary, I'm glad."
"Oh?"
"The rise and fall of the world, the husband is responsible, Chang'an is unbearable, but I can't afford to be safe, but in Luzhou, I can at least protect the peace of the people."
Xue Chongjian nodded approvingly, and blurted out, "I'm curious, if you were to govern Chang'an, what would you do?" β
Li Longji pondered for a moment, and his words were decisive, "Please ask for redundant officials to be cut and put an end to the behavior of nobles forcibly occupying farms and selling official houses." These two phenomena are directly related to the folk customs of Chang'an and the life and death of the people, and are most closely related to the customs of the world and the people. He then sighed and continued: "It's a pity, you can't clean up the source, the source is not correct, what's the use of treating the appearance?" β
"To govern the country, you must first join the family, and Shengyi wants to appease all family members, and he treats the queen, the prime minister, the princess of Taiping, and his children very well." Li Longfan said his true words, he understood that he went to Longzhou as a last resort, and he would not complain about the kind imperial uncle.
Li Longji smiled lightly and wrote lightly: "This is not a good monarch. β
"What do you mean by that?" Xue Chongjian immediately asked.
"In my opinion, the monarch should first love the world and the vast land, and will protect it at all costs; secondly, love the people, the people are the support of the king of a country, and the direct manifestation of the monarch's ability; Then love yourself, the monarch is the country, mixed into one, no one can do without anyone; Finally, there is family. β
"True, true." Xue Chongjian couldn't help laughing, "Li Sanlang's insight is very heart-wrenching!" Excited, he couldn't help but raise his glass to Li Longji, and he was convinced.
Jing Ci on the side fell silent.
She has stayed in Chang'an for more than a year, and there are not a few princes and nobles she has come into contact with, and she has seen countless rich and noble children in Chang'an at banquets and travels. She has to admit that Lang Jun, who has such a broad heart, is afraid that he is the only one today.
If the people can get this king, it may be a blessing for the people.
Everyone was chatting, and someone from Princess Taiping's mansion came, saying that they would invite Xue Chongjian to return home.
"Xue Erlang, your princess's mansion is more busy than any mansion in Chang'an, haha-"
"Don't make fun of me, say goodbye first, and get together again when you have time." Xue Chongjian said, and hurriedly got up to say goodbye.
At the same time, the corridor outside ......
"It's really lively, it's been a long time."
"Changquelou is better decorated than before."
"Everyone, please, the private room of the Jinzi is here......"
The old lady of the Yang Mansion, Yang Shouyan, Yang Weiwei, Aunt He, Aunt Yun and others were walking inside, and they happened to meet Xue Chongjian who was walking out.
"I've seen all the ladies of the Yang Mansion, and I have a good New Year." Xue Chongjian said.
Yang Shouyan smiled: "Isn't this Xue Erlang?" But come out for a feast? β
"Yes, Jing Ci is still in the 'Ya' box, there are some things in the house, so I will leave first."
"I see, Xue Erlang walked slowly."
After Xue Chongjian passed by, all the ladies in the Yang Mansion couldn't help but look back at their backs.
"That's a good boy." The old lady raised the corners of her mouth.
Aunt He smiled, "No, it is said that he is the most valued son of Princess Taiping, and he is dignified and talented." β
The gossip in the various courtyards of the Yang Mansion is very well-informed, and everyone knows that Xue Chongjian almost became the uncle of the Yang Mansion. If it weren't for the matter of the crown princess, she suddenly had a marriage contract with Wu Chongxing, I'm afraid that the fourth mother of the Yang family would have been out of the cabinet now.
Several aunts looked at Yang Shouyan together, since Erniang and Wu Chongxing could not get married, I am afraid that another marriage contract earlier would ......
Although Yang Shouyan stared at the back that was gradually moving away, he had the usual smile on his face, and he couldn't see anything unusual.
"He just said that Jing Zi is in the 'Ya' box." Yang Weiwei said.
Xiao Er answered, "The 'Ya' font is next to the 'Jin' font, please come in the guest officer, and the little one will take you to ......."
Xiao Er is an experienced worker, and after bringing the group to the "Jin" box, he immediately served tea, and then knocked on the door of the "Ya" box for reporting.
Jing Ci was quite uneasy when he heard this, looking at his thick eyebrows and fake sideburns, and the appearance of a man who was full of ten, he couldn't scare his grandmother and eldest sister and others.
"Yo, our Wang Shilang also has times when he is uneasy?" Cui Qi quipped, "Since the ladies of the Yang family are here, I can't say hello, and it's almost the same today, so in my opinion, let's go and take a look." β
"Well, I think so too."
So the three Lang Jun who were at the same table with Jing Ci got up together......
"Hey...... Is there such a pair of friends......" Jing Ci reluctantly got up and walked out, tearing the fake sideburns on his face, and hurriedly walked in front of several people.
