The weather in February is the time when it is warm and cold. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
And when winter turns to spring, those flowers and grasses that have been dormant for a winter finally breathe a sigh of relief, straighten their waists, and emerge their heads.
The first to declare their sense of existence is the tender yellow spring flowers, one by one small buds standing on the branches, moving slightly with the wind, suddenly adding a few warm spring colors to the corner of the mountain house.
The little buds on the willow branches are the most unwilling to lag behind, following the footsteps of those spring flowers, and soon their heads appeared on the branches that were still somewhat dry, perhaps they were too fast, it was inevitable that people would have an illusion, as if overnight, the willows in front of and behind their houses were newly dressed.
Early in the morning, Lan Jiayin was still dressing in the mirror in the bedroom, and she listened to the little girl outside shouting, "Oh, Sister Yutao is here, please come in, my young lady is dressing up in the bedroom." ”
She couldn't help but glance at Jinluo in the mirror, and saw that this person was also puzzled.
Jinzhu, who was choosing a hairpin for her own lady, raised her head and muttered puzzledly, "Why is Yutao here now?" ”
"Do you want to come over and have breakfast with the eldest lady?"
In winter, it is cold, Mrs. Lan feels sorry for her daughter and future daughter-in-law, and does not let them go to ask for peace early.
Lan Jiayin couldn't help urging Jinluo, "Hurry up, I guess my mother is looking for me." ”
But in two sentences, the cotton curtain was opened from the outside, Yu Tao was wearing a pink cotton jacket, a little blushing spirit, she bent her knees to her own young lady to say goodbye, and told the eldest lady's words truthfully, "Miss, our lady please go to the main courtyard quickly, she has something important to tell you, breakfast is used in our courtyard." ”
Sure enough, it was fed by Lan Jiayin, right?
A few maids were obviously a lot faster, and after a while, the sideburns were combed, and Jinzhu tied the cloak of jade-colored embroidered peony flowers to Lan Jiayin, and then he and Jinluo supported the master left and right, took the jade peach and the pink butterfly bell, went out to meet Cai's mother, and went to the main courtyard together.
Early in the morning, there were many people who came to Yunying Hall to take errands, but Lan Jiayin looked at them, these people who used to be small and hugged Xia, but now they are going to Xiaohua Hall.
Eighty percent, Mrs. Lan is irritable and has no psychological matters, this is to let Da Liu's mother and Hu's mother deal with family affairs.
This kind of situation rarely happened in Lan Jiayin's memory, and her heart couldn't help but sink a little more.
Entering the main house, there was only one copper tripod left in the south corner of the hall, and the charcoal fire was quite vigorous, Lan Jiayin was also a little angry in his heart, so he untied his cloak casually and threw it into Jinzhu's hands with his backhand.
Caidie, who had been waiting for her for a long time, saw that she was rough, and couldn't help but comfort her, "Miss, although the matter is not small, it is useless for you to be anxious, so settle down." ”
With that, he helped the person to the bedroom in the back.
"At this time, I haven't set the meal yet, which means that my mother is sad and can't eat, Caidie is calm, and even she said that the matter is not small, so it can be seen that it is really a big deal." Lan Jiayin was not slow at her feet, and thought to herself, "But if it's a big event, why don't you see Ah Xuan to remind you one or two?"
The more I thought about it, the more confused I became, Lan Jiayin's beautiful willow eyebrows were about to wrinkle together unconsciously.
Fortunately, the figure of Mrs. Lan is already in front of her, and the mystery is about to be revealed......
"What, the saint died, and the king of Qi ascended the throne!" This is really big news!
Rao is Lan Jiayin was already prepared in her heart, but she was also shocked enough, she came back to her senses and asked her own mother for the first time, that is, "Does the first emperor have a will for his father?" ”
"Do you want to announce your father's return to Beijing?!"
In the blink of an eye, it has been two years since Lan Mingdong went to Pingjing to serve as the governor of Yin, and the Zhou Shui Canal that he operated in his hands is being built impressively, from the desolation of almost no one to support it except for the attention of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion at the beginning, to the now the rich man is holding the silver, begging to repair the canal to the scenery near his home.
The most difficult initial time of Zhou Shuiqu has undoubtedly been successfully passed.
And the wedding date of Lan Jiayin and Mu Lingxuan's children, Master Guangde, who Xuanping Hou has also personally begged, under the words of this Jinkou, the wedding date is exactly set on the ninth day of June this year, and by that time, the three-year filial piety period of Mrs. Lan has also passed for several months.
Although Lan Jiayin didn't reach adulthood until October, Lan Mingdong and his wife didn't want to send their daughter to marry in person, and they always had to watch their daughter adapt well in her in-law's house.
Therefore, the two couples discussed with Mu Detai and his wife that they would let the children marry first, and then choose an auspicious day for the zodiac to let the two have a round house.
There are many such situations in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the two of them are by no means original, so everyone thinks this method is quite good.
Everything is basically ready, but now it's okay, the Lan family has just finished the three-year filial piety period of Old Lady Lan, and they received the news of Emperor Baotai's death.
Needless to say, the marriage date of Mu Lingxuan and Lan Jiayin will definitely be postponed, including Lan Mingdong's stay and departure, which has become a big problem for a while.
In the two years that the Lan family went to Pingjing, how fierce and cruel the open and dark arrows in the capital were had nothing to do with them thousands of miles away.
But secretly, because of Mu Lingxuan, the future son-in-law, and Prince Qi's strong support for Zhou Shuiqu, Lan Mingdong has become a natural and gradually became a Qi king.
Emperor Baotai was seriously ill and bedridden, the king of Qi was full of tricks, and finally succeeded in winning over the king of Cheng, the two kings joined forces, and together they trampled the king of Lu under their feet, and in the end, the king of Qi won a big victory and became the newly baked emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty!
On the day he ascended the throne, the new emperor changed the name of the year to Zhengqing, which was not much different from his previous life.
The only difference is that Emperor Baotai in this world has lived for two more years, and the brothers King Cheng and King Lu are still doing their kings in a dignified manner.
Originally, Lan Jiayin had no special opinion on the first emperor living a few more years and a few years less, but now it seems that the impact of this sudden death on her and Mu Lingxuan is really not a little big!
Lan Jiayin is not saying that she is in a hurry to get married, she really thinks that if the newly enthroned Emperor Zhengqing calls her father back to Beijing at this juncture, her unmarried daughter will have to return to Beijing with the whole family.
Wait until a year later, Mu Lingxuan went to Beijing to marry, and Lan Jiayin married from the capital to Pingjing, coming and going, it was really troublesome!
God knows, because Liang Wenyu was so concerned about his son's marriage, the two couples had set the wedding date a year ago, so as soon as the Chongbei Hou couple in the capital received the letter of their granddaughter's wedding, they immediately ventilated with the second lady Lan, and the two families began to work happily together.
They first invited Lan Er's husband and wife, and Lan Hongxu, the newlywed Yan'er, to the Hou Mansion, and sat down together to discuss it, and then decided to sort out Lan Jiayin's dowry, and let Liu San and his wife, take Liu Yuncheng and Liu Yunxiang, accompany Lan Hongxu and his wife, and carefully escort the full dowry to Pingjing City.
The capital is carefully counting the days, the wedding date on the ninth day of June, the team is scheduled to leave Beijing on the third day of the first month of March, and arrive in Pingjing one month in advance, Mrs. Liu San and Mrs. Lan can also help Mrs. Lan Da and busy with Lan Jiayin's marriage.
The two families of Chongbei Houfu and Lanfu have planned almost everything well, but no matter how shrewd they are, they can't count that the current saint will die at this juncture.
It's done, be honest, hurry up and stop jumping, let's cry for the deceased emperor first!
While commanding Da Liu's mother and them, and pasting all the things in the house with white cloth to mourn the first emperor, she couldn't help but sigh and said, "Fortunately, your third uncle and your second uncle and mother haven't set off yet. ”
Lan Jiayin deeply agrees with this, but this is not at all compatible with her question!
She tugged at her mother's sleeve and asked coquettishly, "Mother, you haven't even said it, has my father received the will?" ”
When Mrs. Lan heard this, her brows furrowed more and more, "Alas, your father fainted from crying when he received the report from the palace. ”
"I heard Xiao Liu's mother say that he didn't sleep all night in the study, it can be seen how sad he is, where can I bother him at this time?"
"Good daughter, you know, the first emperor has the grace of knowing your father, and the two of them can be regarded as kings and ministers, and suddenly, one of them went first, and the rest of them were not heartbroken?"
Lan Jiayin heard this, and her eyes also turned red, and she turned watery, the death of the first emperor, a few families were happy and a few were sad, she couldn't say who was happy, but the one who was worried must have their own home!
"What are you anxious about, my mother knows, but you must always be considerate of your father's loyalty, wait a little longer, wait for two days, his mood will ease up, and it will not be too late for my mother to help you ask." Mrs. Lan wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and softly soothed her daughter's anxious heart.
Listening to her mother's gentle words, Lan Jiayin's heart suddenly became more and more sour, and she couldn't help crying and shouting 'Mother', and threw herself into Mrs. Lan's arms, hugging her mother's waist tightly, refusing to let go.
..................................
In Pingjing City, because of the death of the first emperor and the ascension of the new emperor, the white paper everywhere is changed everywhere, which makes a person impetuous, panicked.
And the dignitaries and nobles in the capital, in addition to worrying about these trivial things, have to enter the palace every day to kneel to the first emperor.
The imperial study in the palace is still the imperial study used by the former emperor, and the furniture in it has not been touched at all, that is, the person sitting behind the dragon case has been replaced by a kind old man to a vigorous young emperor.
In the middle of the room of the imperial study, there are two ministers standing on the left and right, and six books, in addition, at the critical moment, King Cheng, who surrendered to his younger brother and boarded the big ship of the new emperor, also sat on the first official hat chair on the left hand side.
Don't look at it as an official hat chair covered with a half-worn yellow embroidered chair cover, but there is a room full of people to sit on, except for the new emperor, and only His Royal Highness King Cheng is alone.
"My father's intention before his death was to let me recall Lan Aiqing after he ascended the throne, so that I would have one more person by my side."
"But once the mountain is high and the road is far away, even if I issue an edict at this time, Lan Aiqing will not be able to send my father on the last journey."
"In addition, the construction of the Zhou Water Canal is also at a critical point, it is an important project related to the centennial plan of the West, if there is no Lan Aiqing's management, I am afraid that I will be overwhelmed, and the silver will not be able to do anything!" Emperor Zhengqing rubbed the temples on both sides of his forehead and said with a headache.
He is the son of the first emperor, and the new emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he not only has to keep a guard for his father and emperor every day, but also has to take care of political affairs.
As for the whereabouts of Lan Mingdong that will be mentioned, it is purely a helpless move, no, the previous one had a confidant to protect it, saying that there was a rumor in the capital, and the former left minister Lan Mingdong was the minister left by the first emperor to the new emperor, but the new emperor was unwilling to let people recall him because this was not his confidant.
The implication is that he, the new emperor, does not abide by filial piety and is crony, these two hats are too heavy, and that one is not easy to wear for Emperor Zhengqing, who has only succeeded to the throne for half a month, so it is necessary to solve this matter as soon as possible, so that the rumors are useless.
In fact, in Emperor Zhengqing's heart, Lan Mingdong was already his own person, where is there any nepotism?
Even if he summons someone back, this person will definitely not sing against him, on the contrary, because of the special relationship between each other hidden in the shadows, it can still have a miraculous effect.
However, when he first ascended to the throne, for the sake of the balance of the court, he couldn't call people back regardless of it.
What do you think, after Lan Mingdong was demoted and released, the pivotal position of the left minister could not be vacant, at that time, the three princes were fighting very hard, and everyone wanted to let their henchmen keep this position, but unfortunately, the first emperor had his own idea, and the son didn't need it, so he promoted Chen Zhizhe, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, to the left minister, this is a person from the Chen family in Lujiang, a well-known centrist, has always been impartial, and he is even less temperamental than Lan Mingdong.
The two phases, together with the palm prints of the six departments, these eight important official positions, are all a radish and a pit, and Emperor Zhengqing wants to transfer Lan Mingdong back, and there is no vacancy for him for the time being.
Moreover, the matter of Zhou Shuiqu, the long-term Emperor Zhengqing really took it very seriously, so he thought about it, if he didn't transfer Lan Mingdong back first, let him stay in Pingjing for another year, so that Chen Zhizhe could fill this term of Zuo Xiang, by the way, isn't this also the heart of An An Baiguan?
