Chapter 36: Strange or Strange
After a little illness, Yu Kang took office and served as the secretary of the royal court.
Every time there is a holiday, Yu Kang slightly serves the Baling market, observes the people's feelings, and after many days of secret visits, Yu Kang discovers two extremely strange things.
Outside the court, there are often female palace officials walking, and all palace people with status will put a short sword in their sleeves or belts, not only in the court, but also in the people.
This made Yu Kangbai puzzled. The difference between the north and the south is also expressed in the status of women, women in the north are frank and frank, men and women sit together, and no one is surprised to drink with men, in the south, the restraint on women has not changed much even after the Taizong dynasty, if it is inevitable to collide with the opposite sex, they usually raise their wide sleeves to cover their faces, or cover their lips, in the eyes of the southerners, women who do not pay attention to grooming and smiling posture are no different from northern barbarians.
If a man speaks disrespectfully and will be taught a lesson by the woman, the Baling government will not arrest the woman for the crime of murder and wounding, but will arrest and convict the man.
The penal officer informed that Baling had a penal code for men. This decree originated from the king's deep hatred of men who bullied weak women - there was a big case of a girl and a woman missing, Wang Shi Zhen Chuanting assisted in the trial of the case, and found that all the missing women were taken to the suburbs by gangsters and violently killed, King Changshan intervened in the case after knowing this matter, and abandoned the criminals to the city, and later established a criminal law, women can wear swords to defend themselves when they go out, and they are bullied by men, and women are justified in defense and will not be convicted. To this day, it has become a custom for women to wear swords.
Another strange thing, King Changshan lived in the back for a long time, rarely showed up, and did not set foot in the previous dynasty, and the people of Li only knew that the noble concubines ruled the country. Yu Kang and the ministers of the early dynasty, the main seat of the hall did not have the figure of King Changshan, and all the documents were passed to the hands of Fan Guifei behind the curtain through the hands of the inner servant. The number of court meetings was very small, and the ministers were lazy and lazy, and only submitted documents to the palace envoys of Chongyang Hall every day, and the palace envoys then forwarded the approved documents to the Linguang Palace and were personally stamped by King Changshan. Even if she didn't see the king for a whole year, the loyal old minister still had high hopes for her when he talked about the king.
This qiē seems unreasonable, Yu Kang visited these old ministers, and also visited Wang Shi Zhen Chuanting, asking the reason. Seeing that he was suspicious, Master Wang gave him a word: Don't meddle in it.
didn't get the answer he wanted, Yu Kang walked around the mansions for three days and two days, which made the old ministers very annoyed.
"Yu Qing is so cute, how can this kind of thing be said clearly, it will be clear if you look at it more. The next time they met, Lone personally told him that it was wrong for the old minister to bully the newcomer. ”
Yuan Lingjun shook his head earnestly, picked up the ashes on the wall, and climbed up with his hands and feet. Lu Yao's snowman is beautiful, but his temper is very strange, he has to retreat from the guests when he makes a few fans and makes a few clothing samples, he thinks it is alchemy.
"Lord, are you really not going through the main gate?" Kunjiao was very worried, and looked around from time to time to see if anyone was coming.
"Have you heard of Han Shou stealing incense, this kind of thing is not blatant, it's interesting to look at beauties, it's interesting to look at them secretly." Yuan Lingjun hung on the wall with both arms, and pushed up with both legs, and the wall of the Lu Mansion climbed more and more easily. In fact, she was just afraid of bumping into those old ministers, mothers-in-law and mothers, saying a lot of big truths, especially Zhen Chuanting.
As soon as he sat on the wall, Yuan Lingjun opened his voice: "Lu Shiyi, get out quickly...... Yikes! You guys. ”
Yuan Lingjun covered his mouth, and his eyes widened.
Directly opposite, dozens of pairs of eyes scorched and shining, and they all fell on her.
"Hah! All of you are here, the weather is good today, and you are all out to step on the spring. Yuan Lingjun's eyes glanced around, and he was very embarrassed to see that no one cared about him, "Hehe, the flowers are blooming......"
Yuan Lingjun coughed his throat and rubbed his fingers helplessly, his round face was red, as if he was about to drip blood.
She waved her hand and said with a dry smile as she crawled: "Everyone continue, don't pay attention to Lone, Lone just looked around, and then left." ”
"My lord. Coming back so soon? Isn't Mr. Lu here? ”
Seeing Yuan Lingjun jumping off the wall, Kunjiao held on in time and gently patted the dust off her clothes.
"Don't ask, I'm almost scared to death." In front of dozens of important ministers, he still made a mess in front of that person. Yuan Lingjun pounded his chest and regretted it.
She actually forgot that Qu Yi returned to Liyang to worship her ancestors, and at this time she had already come to Baling and lived in Lugong's Mansion.
Yuan Lingjun scolded all the way, and as soon as she returned to the palace, the people of Chongyang Palace came to convey that the concubine invited her to go to Jieqitang.
"Come with me, my lord."
The golden light passed through Qi Zhu and fell on Fan Jiang's shawl, and the shadow was cast on the bright floor tiles.
Fan Jiang was mysterious, and took Yuan Lingjun's hand through one carefully arranged room after another to the last door.
The doors of the temple are opened from both sides, and the blowing apricot blossoms are blown open, forming a semi-arc shape.
The flowers are gradually charming to the eye. Yuan Lingjun raised his sleeves to block the dazzling light.
The beautiful scenery in front of you is unobstructed, and under the Taihu Lake stone standing on the shore of the lake, the miserable green boy is full of spirit.
The young men in the brocade robes and belts sat or stood, or laughed or silent, their appearance was extremely outstanding, and they seemed to have a good skill, the person who was responsible for appreciating the spring had a manuscript in his belly, and the person who placed the piano on his lap had a wonderful sound between his fingers, and a few people sitting around the stone table may be appreciating poetry and painting, studying calligraphy, and the one sleeping under the peony may be having a beautiful dream.
The young men in their prime have gathered in the land of right and wrong.
"They all came from afar, and they recommended themselves to our king, and their courage is commendable, and the king should treat each other well."
"Oh, Mother is going to give them all to me?" One by one, who seemed to be under the age of eighteen, did not know where her mother had found her for her pastime. Yuan Lingjun was not interested, and brushed away the residual red.
Fan Jiang didn't answer, and pointed to the person holding the piano on his lap, "The king loves musical instruments and singing." This person is good at drumming, piano, sheng and flute, and good at singing and dancing, and he is a rare wonderful person. ”
Yuan Lingjun nodded, and she couldn't even shout her name so far.
The people who don't know the truth only say that King Changshan's adoptive mother doted on him and raised the proud son of heaven into a big straw bag. Fan Jiang's doting watch is not sparing in giving away what he has effortlessly - squandering gold and silver jewelry, driven by hundreds of palace slaves, backed by the powerful Fan family. Even if King Changshan is not in power, he can live the rest of his life with peace of mind.
What is the matter?
The wind blew Yuan Lingjun's long loose hair, covering her slightly dark face and covering the corners of her cold lips. No one noticed, and under the thick long hair, the smile was gone, replaced by mockery and ridicule.
Lying on the half-hidden stone bed with the green branches of the peony, the boy turned over sharply, his legs folded, and his toes swayed, leisurely and comfortable.
Yuan Lingjun noticed him, and from beginning to end, he was sleeping.
The young man wore a soft scarf on his head, wearing a white robe of Bishan Huyue, the residual flowers flew down the sleeves, the red and white colors were intertwined, the color was just right, extremely eye-catching, a bright black hair hung to the ground, and his facial features were covered by green bushes.
"Huh! Odd. Yuan Lingjun took a few steps forward, and the young man's face finally appeared clearly in her eyes.
"He's Fu Lingding."
"It's not necessarily that good." Yuan Lingjun laughed, full of indifference, "Mother, let him be accompanied by qin, chess, calligraphy and painting in the pavilion and high pavilion, if he is willing to leave the palace, give him a road to entangle, stay away from Changshan, stay away from Changshan King." ”
Fan Jiang didn't expect her to have the idea of giving up on herself, and she couldn't believe it for a while, and then saw her handing out shawls, facing the sky, and felt more and more unpleasant, "Now that the king is an adult, he should tie up his hair." ”
"Why do you care about my hair...... Okay, just one of them, the mother said whoever it was, and it was arranged by the mother. Yuan Lingjun's eyes were misty, but she didn't want to show any strange feelings in front of Fan Jiang.
She stood for a moment, then walked away.
"The king is not satisfied with my arrangement?" Fan Jiang asked behind his back.
Holding her cuffs hard, Yuan Lingjun only felt a huge stone pressing down on her heart, forcing her to breathe.
"The king has changed, and your cousin has sued me, disgusted with what I did for you. If you don't want to, why don't you say no? Why hold back to accept it? You never want to push yourself and let yourself be wronged. ”
Yes, she was very reluctant. What is the use of those who approach themselves with purpose? They gather around themselves, indulge in alcohol, try to pull themselves into the glitzy world, lose their nature.
And these are exactly the results that her adoptive mother wants to see.
Thinking of his father's repeated explanations when he left Lin'an, and thinking of his nanny, Yuan Lingjun secretly warned himself that he must stay sober, and there must always be one of the spiritual consciousness and ** to stay sober and not be at the mercy of others.
Yuan Lingjun turned around, looked at the dignified beautiful woman, and said with a smile: "Mother is wrong, I just think trivial things are annoying." As he spoke, he raised his sleeves and bowed, "Mother Lao is bothered." ”
When she turned her back to Fan Jiang, she couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief and feel comfortable.
