Chapter 308: The Stain on Huabiao
It has been nearly ten years since the construction of Tanggu, there are many luxurious and magnificent pavilions and pavilions in the market, and most of the large mansions are owned by large merchants, and the Lin family, the Chen family, the Li family, the Zhao family, the Liu family, etc. have industries here. Ouyang Shi has the general's mansion when he is in Tanggu, seven before and after, the pattern is grand, the left side is Ouyang Shi's father-in-law Chen's mansion, built for many years, in terms of scale, and Ouyang Shi's general's mansion is equivalent, but Ouyang Shi's general's mansion is half public and half home, and Chen's mansion is all family, so the pattern inside is more comfortable, the mountain stone flower pond, indescribably beautiful.
Ouyang Shi built the general's mansion, using public money, after he went south, the mansion was called by the public, Yang Yingqi came to Tanggu to add and modify, and it became the current prime minister's mansion, the first five into the office, the last two into the home. In order to settle Yan Hu, Yang Yingqi paid for the Chen Mansion next door and built it, increasing the height of the house number and the main building, as the palace of the Emperor in Tanggu.
On the right side of the palace, there is a newly built mansion, which is the general's mansion that the public gave Yang Kaiyuan to set up, and now Yang Kaiyuan is far away from Tanggu, Yang Yingqi knew that Ouyang Shi was coming, and with Yang Kaiyuan's consent, he vacated the mansion for Ouyang Shi to stay. But after Ouyang Shi came, he didn't live here, and lived in Tangnan - that was another property he had in Tanggu, and the mansion occupied a slightly smaller area than the Xiangfu (that is, his former general's mansion) in the north city of Tanggu, but the structural layout and decoration inside were more exquisite, which was the place where he used to enjoy himself in Tangnan. Yang Yingqi saw that he had already decided, so he was no longer reluctant.
When Ouyang Shi arrived in Tanggu, Zhi Yunwu celebrated him at Wanghailou in Tangnan. The next day, he got up early and brought people to Beicheng, one was to the palace to ask his sister-in-law Wan Yanhu for peace, and the other was to go to the prime minister's mansion to discuss matters. From Tangnan to Tanggu North City, you can cross the river by boat, you can also cross the river through the bridge, walk through Jinmen Street, Liaokou Street, and then pass through the city center square that has been changed to Huabiao Altar, you can reach the palace.
Although Tanggu has changed a lot in recent years, the direction of the big street has not changed, so Ouyang Shi came to see the surrounding scenery this time is strange and familiar, until he passed through the Huabiao Altar, he was stunned, and asked left and right: "How did Huai'en Camp move here?" Didn't you say that there was a Huabiao altar here? ”
Those who knew about it told Ouyang Shi that this was the Huabiao Altar, and as for the gathering of so many poor people on the Huabiao Altar, it was only in the past one or two months.
Ouyang Shi was displeased when he heard this: "Ridiculous! Ridiculous! How does the seventh do things! This Huabiao altar is the face of our Han court! The palace minister's mansion is not far away, is it possible for the queen and the prince to face this scene as soon as they go out every day? ”
Left and right did not dare to answer, and did not know how to answer.
Ouyang Shi rode through the Huabiaotan Square and came to the palace, Wan Yanhu had already sent someone to wait, and hurriedly welcomed him in, and performed the gift of his uncle and sister-in-law through the bead curtain.
Ouyang Shi saluted, pointed to the bead curtain and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, our Han is getting more and more magnificent, and in a few years, this etiquette is much more comprehensive." ”
Wan Yanhu smiled in the curtain, sighed again, and said, "I've become more and more uncomfortable in the past two years, God knows where the officials of the Ministry of Rites got so many courtesies!" I have already asked someone to tell Han Fang to try to be as simple as possible, and he said that the imperial court system should be like this. I sent someone to tell Ying Qi again, and Ying Qi also said that it should be simpler, which made Han Fang go seven or eight out of ten - it became what it is today. Fourth uncle, you said that if you follow the arrangement of their scholars, then I don't know what will become of it! So he let the curtain be removed and said, "I just look like this, let people look at it, will I suffer?" After the curtain was removed, he saw Ouyang Shihan standing, and hurriedly said, "Fourth uncle, sit down." ”
Ouyang Shi smiled outside, sat down sideways, said some greetings, and said, "I heard that you just gave birth to a handle?" ”
Ouyang Shi said: "Yes, this is the fourth one, so I brought it." ”
Wan Yanhu said: "When to bring it up, my sister-in-law will help you bring it for a few months." ”
Ouyang Shi said: "It's still young, I'm afraid I won't be able to withstand the wind and waves." ”
Wan Yanhu hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, children should be the most careful at this time." You know, I like kids the most, especially boys. It's just a few who are used to it, like the cub of the six slaves, Yunwu Yunwen, and Yu'er, all of them have hardened their wings and flew! Yunwu is the eldest son, and in his life, he is destined to be the first in national affairs. Yunwen is still young, but he is active, he came to me yesterday and spent the night with me absentmindedly, and today he went out of the city to ride a horse and shoot arrows with his cousin. It's still the best for Yu'er, who knows how to make me happy. But I don't know why, I said yesterday that I would come this morning, but I haven't arrived yet. When he said this, he suddenly said to the people, "Plug your ears!" No eavesdropping! ”
All the attendants and palace maids felt strange when they heard it, but they didn't dare to disobey, so they quickly covered their ears, and Wan Yanhu lowered his voice and said, "Fourth uncle, I want to recruit Yu'er as a son-in-law, what do you think?" ”
Ouyang Shi laughed when he heard this: "Sister-in-law, you should go and tell Lao Qi about this matter, why do you ask me?" ”
Wan Yanhu said: "If you ask him, it's almost decided." I want to ask you what you mean first, you are the little uncle of the two of them, watching them grow up, helping me figure it out. ”
Ouyang Shi said: "I also like this child, I can't wait to be my son." As long as the sister-in-law likes it and the seventh child agrees, that's fine. ”
Wan Yanhu said: "Ying Qi, if I open my mouth, he won't dare to say anything." It's Yu'er, you can help me pay attention when you have time. ”
Ouyang Shi said with a smile: "Our princess is still young now, and it is not too late to discuss marriage in a few years." Yu'er is even younger, doubling his age, and he is not as old as when he got married. ”
Wan Yanhu hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, no!" can't wait so long to get married like Ying Qi. ”
The uncle and sister-in-law chatted for a long time, and Ouyang Shicai asked, "Sister-in-law, have you been out of the palace recently?" ”
"Less!" Wan Yanhu sighed: "I occasionally go to Huguo Temple to worship the Buddha, and at other times, I stay in this palace." ”
Ouyang Shi said: "The matter of Huabiaotan, sister-in-law doesn't know?" ”
When Wan Yanhu heard this, his face sank and said, "How could I not know about this!" Hundreds of people crowded there in this weather, strange and desolate! I also heard that they wandered here from hundreds of miles away, and some of them were missing arms and legs, which is really sad! I've sent someone to Ying Qi to ask several times, but I haven't gotten any real news. I'm just about to call Ying Qi to scold! ”
Ouyang Shi said: "Maybe there is something difficult about the seventh child. ”
Wan Yanhu said: "If there is any difficulty, you can't watch them ignore it like this!" Alas, no matter how poor we were in Liaokou and Jinmen, there was no such thing! In case of one or two incidents, deal with them immediately! Now that the country is bigger, can the lives of the common people go back? I have asked my sister-in-law Gu to arrange for someone to take care of them day and night, in case there are those who are frozen and hungry, and have set up a fund-raising box in Huguo Temple. But it's very strange, and I think it's probably weird. I have inquired, and it is said that these people are all from Zhending and Zhongshan. According to my temperament, I wanted to go directly over there to have a look, but the people around me were blocking left and right, this one said that he was afraid of accidents, and the other said that it was not in accordance with the rules - bullshit! When we were in southern Liaoning, how could we have these rules? But thinking about your eldest brother's expedition to the north and the desert, there are many things in the court, and I can't let my temperament do it, so I endured it. But after all these days, they haven't seen things get done. Fourth uncle, if you get it, just urge it! ”
Ouyang Shi said: "Okay, sister-in-law, don't worry, when I see Lao Qi when I go back, the first thing I ask him is what's going on!" ”
