Emperor Longqing gave a house to Master Rongsan near the Qinglong Bridge outside the Chengtian Gate. What a privilege this is, where can you get a house from the emperor as an official, it has to be a celebrity in the eyes of the emperor to have this treatment, and it is a house, and it is also divided into three, six, nine and so on.

Chengtianmen is the first class, that is the place of the inner court, from ancient times to the present, the people who live in it are all ministers. Counting down, the most proud is the area outside Chengtianmen, from the Baihu Bridge in the west to the Qinglong Bridge in the east. Here follow the forbidden city, and go up to the nearest court every day.

In winter, when the rooster crows for the first time, the officials who live far away are about to get up, and they are shivering with cold all the way. Living in the area of Qinglong Bridge, not to mention too much, you can get up a moment later, and you don't have to suffer much cold.

And Qinglong Bridge from north to south, along the street, is the six, from the third master of Rong San's Ministry of Rites Yamen is also close, is really a rare residential resource for the official.

This area has always been the emperor's own land, reserved for rewarding officials.

Of course, this is the benefit.

And Ah Wu thought that the disadvantages were also great.

The house given by the emperor can usually only live for one generation, if you are demoted, I'm sorry to strangle you, hurry up and move the land, degrade the official in the morning, and let you roll up the burden and leave in the afternoon. If you are lucky, your life will be smooth, but if you die, you will be sorry, and your descendants will have to move quickly. After all, the capital is so little land, let your family live for several lifetimes, where can the emperor find a house to give people to go?

So the house is not your real estate, you only have a limited right to use it. And what's even more uncomfortable is that every inch of land here is expensive, even if it is the house of the imperial gift, it is cramped and cramped, you can neither move the earth, nor add bricks, but if there is any change, you must report to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, because this land is the emperor's property.

Moreover, you can't live in the house given by the emperor.

For example, a wealthy man like Ah Wu, even if he has money, has already prepared a magnificent, spacious mansion with a private garden in the capital, but he can only put it on hold.

But no matter what, it is a good thing for the emperor to give a house. And like Master Rong San, there is a person who has the emperor's support for the separation of the family behind him, which is really rare in the world. It's not that the emperor really saw the third master of Rong to the point where he could sleep on his feet, but it was just that the third master of Rong happened to meet at the meeting.

Ah Wu was also surprised that Emperor Longqing gave the third master Rong a house, which was not like what her ex-uncle would do. But when Ah Wu's finger tapped on the table, he quickly figured out why.

The emperor just hit An Guogong's board on the front foot, saying that he was not strict with his son, and that he was evil and lewd, and cut the title of the son, and you separated the people the emperor wanted to support on the back foot.

An Guogong has long been away from the court, and Master Rong is even more of a straw bag, with no political sensitivity at all, only looking at the small profits in front of him, and forgetting the biggest one.

Ah Wu said secretly, it seems that he is still too young, it is estimated that this is the step, and his father has also calculated, otherwise how dare such an old fox take on the reputation of unfilial piety.

As soon as Emperor Longqing's mansion was given, Master Rong San took Cui and Ah Wu to the upper room and kowtowed to An Guogong and the old lady. The expressions of these people are the most interesting. An Guogong is a loving father, and what is even more rare is that he squeezed out a tear and wrapped it in his eyes, holding his forehead with his hand, a picture that he couldn't bear to separate.

The old lady was stunned like a bodhisattva carved in wood.

The eldest wife and the second wife wanted to laugh and cry, and they wanted to ease the relationship with the third room, but they couldn't pull their faces for a while. The so-called far fragrance and near smell, now that the third master of Rong has been separated, and he is so valued by the emperor, maybe their husband will inherit the lord in the future, and they will have to go through the relationship between the third master of Rong.

These two women thought very well, and still felt that Master Rong San was the place where they came and went immediately, so they would slap it today and give it a sweet date another day. Just like the second uncle among the clan elders, after time passes, he is willing to help if he gives some benefits.

Anyway, Master Rongsan's family finally stepped out of the door of the Anguo Mansion.

Along the way, Ah Wu and Cui's two people chattered and discussed, and they both had a sense of clear weather, and in the narrow courtyard of the Guogong Mansion, they even felt that they were pressed to speak.

When they arrived at the house at Qinglong Bridge, Mother Qu and Mama Gong, who were prepared in Cui's side first, and Mama Gong next to Ah Wu, all came out.

"The master and wife have all arranged it, just waiting for the wife to open the warehouse and pick out some ornaments." Mother Qu smiled at the bun folds. She is even happier than Cui's, she is the most useful mother by his wife's side, and in the future, in this Cui's dominant backyard, Qu's mother's identity is really visible.

Master Rong San got three days off, brushed his very proud hair, and stepped in with Cui Shi and Ah Wu.

The new house is not big, but it is not small near the Qinglong Bridge, the three entrances are cross-courtyard, and there is a narrow and long garden on the right, which can be described as a small sparrow, with all organs.

As soon as you enter the door, there is a courtyard, and there is a very old plum tree in the left corner, and I don't know how to powder and snow in winter. There are a few begonias in the upper right corner, and there is a tank of water for firefighting, and the boy playing with goose under the bamboo is embossed on the cylinder, which is very quaint and interesting.

The main hall of the first entrance is a place for banquets on weekdays, and the outer study of Master Rong San is also located here. The small servants, nursing homes, etc. live in the cross-hospital, and have a kitchen, a miscellaneous washing place, and a well.

Walk through the hall and walk to the courtyard of the second entrance, which is the most spacious, and the main room is the living place of Master Rong San and Cui's family, as well as the place where Master Rong San studies in the inner courtyard. The two cross-courtyards were prepared for Rong Jue and Rong Xun, and a small kitchen was also set up to make some pastries and boil some soup.

Behind Master Rong San and Cui's is Ah Wu's residence, and his daughter's family is raised as a pampered guest at home, so Ah Wu has a unique room to enter, and her piano room, study, etc., as well as a group of girls' rooms, there are more people around her than Cui's, but it is not that she is proud, but Cui's hates that the girls of the whole family are called by Ah Wu alone, and what she often talks about is the phrase "daughter's family should be pampered".

The narrow garden next to the group also looked at the flowers, there was no water in the garden, built a small fish pond, set up an empty and thin Taihu Lake stone, there is a rockery against the wall, it is quite exquisite.

This is the new house where Ah Wu and the others will live for a long time in the future. Compared with the courtyard of the third room of the Anguo Mansion, it is much better, and everyone is smiling from ear to ear, even Ah Wu's face has a bright smile. Her requirements were really lowered a lot, and such a long and narrow garden made her very happy.

Master Rong San sat in the main room, took a sip of Wuyi rock tea, put down the teacup with satisfaction, and looked around for a week before saying: "I'm afraid that this red sandalwood furniture may not be able to find such a complete set in a century-old family, right?" ”

Ah Wu smiled, "Yes, such a large whole piece of red sandalwood is rare, and when my daughter saw it in Jiangnan, she bought it without paying the price." This kind of thing is hard to come by, and it is worth any amount of silver. What's more, isn't our family going to develop towards a century-old family? ”

Master Rong San nodded. Ah Wu's words said to his heart, separated from the family, and it will become its own line in the future, Master Rong San really wants to develop towards a century-old family, and pass on his lineage for a long time, the important thing is to educate his children and grandchildren to fight for qi.

The man's exploits, the so-called governing the country, the Qi family, and the peace of the world, this Qi family is not just about his generation.

With such a class of rosewood furniture, it is indeed a good start. There must always be some good things in the home of the century-old family. With a little longer, this new furniture becomes old furniture, then there is a heritage.

As soon as this piece of red sandalwood was bought, Ah Wu invited the craftsmen who were best at northern-style furniture in Jiangnan to draw, divide, carve, and combine, for this day. At the beginning, these two boats of furniture did not follow them into Beijing, but were later carved and chiseled, and escorted to Beijing by the housekeeper. I don't want to really come in handy.

The furniture of this hall was rested in the room of Master Rong San and Cui's house, and it was not placed in the hospitality hall, so it was like a nouveau riche.

Ah Wu is not stingy with himself, I heard that the Huanghuali wood on the South China Sea is good, Jiangnan is always closer to the South China Sea than the capital, Ah Wu also instructed people to pay attention, really enough wood, he took a lot of effort, drew a rough appearance, let the carpenter do it.

As soon as these two pieces of furniture were placed in the house, they immediately gave the house a bad color.

Master Rong San stroked his beard, but sighed in his heart that Ah Wu's mind was so deep, he had already started to plan for the long term, and even a man could not catch up with her.

"Dad, although we can't move this house, but the inscription is still okay, you are the best old man, do you want to do it and write a few pieces?"

Cui Shi also looked at Master Rong San expectantly.

Master Rong San's shelf was very large, "It's not impossible, but it's better to send a letter to Brother Jiu'er, tell him about our separation and leaving the house, so as not to go to the wrong place next time I come back, and when he comes back, we will make a name together." By the way, it's time for Brother Jun'er to go to the letter, you can't stay away from home all year round. ”

When Cui Shi heard that it was a letter to his two sons, he nodded hurriedly.

Master Rong San said to Ah Wu: "Let's go, go to the study, you come to write a letter to your brother." ”

Ah Wu nodded.

Master Rong San stepped into the study in the front yard, looked around, pushed the window out, and there was a clump of green bamboo behind him, and he was happy to see it.

"In the coming year, it would be better to plant a few more bluegrass plants by the bamboo."

Rong San nodded, saw that there is a multi-treasure pavilion built into the study, in order to place treasures, a standing blue and white plum bottle in the corner, used for illustration shafts, behind the multi-treasure pavilion is a simple style of red sandalwood leggings Luo pot and overlord black lacquer large painting table, on the blue and white pen wash, pen stand mountain and other objects, nothing surprising, but the pen, ink, paper, inkstone four treasures are extremely exquisite.

The pen is the "rigidity and softness" of Li Ding of the Liuli Factory, made of "seven purple and three sheep", the purple hao is hard, the wool is soft, so it is named, the combination of rigidity and softness, the most full and round words are written, and it is the best pen to write the fold.

Ink, is Cheng's spring in the hall, on one side there are three words of spring in the hall, on the other side there is a seal, Cheng's village. Cheng is good at ink, its spring is used in the Tang Mo Gong, after the Cheng family splits, all the disciples are making spring in the Tang Mo, only Zhuang Mo is the best.

Paper, is the prayer for the king's corner flower paper. If you ask about the most expensive and hard-to-find flower paper today, it is none other than the horn flower paper produced by the fourth prince Chu Maoqi Wangfu. Master Rong San opened the box, and inside was a stack of eight-inch square jade plates, and the lower corner of the mountain on the left deliberately hid peach-colored horn flowers, and there was a hidden word "prayer", "Yes, pray for the horn flower note of the king's mansion, how did you get it?" "Master Rong San was overjoyed when he saw Hunting, and he was almost ready to go.

Ah Wu smiled lightly and said nothing, spending money, a lot of money.

Yan is the Lu Yan that the third master of Rong likes, not the end of the Yan that people praised at the time, but Lu Yan has been very famous since five hundred years ago, Lu Yan is clumsy, and it is better to be slightly carved in the natural form of inkstone, and this side of the table is a swallow stone, born swallow-shaped, simple and interesting.

Although Master Rong San had already cultivated the ability to be invisible, he was also disappointed at this moment, and said excitedly: "I'll write a letter." ”

Warriors love swords, and literati love pen and ink. Warriors can't help but play a trick when they encounter a sword, and the same is true for literati.

Ah Wu has pondered the mind of Master Rong San, he looks down on pen washing, pen holders, etc., and pays special attention to the four treasures of the study.

"Dad, there's no hurry. I also prepared a few pieces of Chengxintang paper for you, just waiting for you to splash ink and hang a few calligraphy and paintings on the wall of your study. "Ah Wu has been to the study of Master Rong San of Anguo Mansion, and all the works on the walls are his works, one is that he is proud, and the other is that he has no money to buy authentic works.

The treasures of the past dynasties are hard to find, Ah Wu has eight heads, and he can't get all the objects for a while, so he can only buy some that he can buy at the expense of his capital. For example, the Four Treasures of the Study.

And the family is based on the accumulation of several lifetimes to get, sometimes the children are not filial, and they can be defeated in an instant for a hundred years, but to rise a family, it must be a hundred years.

Naturally, there is no hurry to paint or write letters. Master Rong San asked Ah Wu to come to the study, and he didn't really ask her to write a letter.

"Ah Wu, you said that the saint is so kind to his father, "Ah Wu, you said that the saint is so kind to his father, is it a blessing or a curse?" "Master Rong San has no strategists around him, and his two sons are not around, fortunately his daughter is smart, but if you have to talk about it, he doesn't care about his identity and age.

Ah Wu lowered his head, roughly knowing the meaning of the third master of Lu Daorong. Since ancient times, monarchs and ministers have been consistent, but monarchs and ministers have competed. The king talks about the holy bow j□j, only the monarch's power, and the minister talks about the water can carry the boat and can also overturn the boat, and he must fight for the rights of the people and the rights of the courtiers.

Since Master Rong San valued Emperor Longqing so much, it was inevitable that he would be suspected of being the emperor's lackey, or he might be squeezed out by Qingliu. What's more, in the eyes of the old pedant, the king wants the minister to die, the minister has to die, the father wants the son to die, and the son has to die quickly. The father is dividing the family, which is a great unfilial piety. Even if the emperor endorsed him, it wouldn't work.

A literati is a dead man who wants to save face all his life.

"Whether it's a blessing or a curse, it depends on whether Sister Yin can come to our family." Awu Road.

Ah Wu moved to a new house, and her confidant Tang Yin, who was "in love", must have wanted to come, but whether she can get out of the door depends on the meaning of Mrs. Tang or Tang Gelao.

If Tang Yin can still associate with Ah Wu, then the name of "unfilial piety" of Master Rong San will probably be fine. After all, Tang Ge is always the head of the hundred officials, the leader of Wenchen, and if he expresses his position, he represents many people.

"Oh." Master Rong San was noncommittal.

"But according to my daughter's point of view, most of Sister Yin can come, and now it's an eventful time, so they are all in a hurry." Ah Wu laughed. If this is the time when Emperor Longqing has just ascended the throne, maybe the old lady is making a stumbling block behind his back, and the third master of Rong is really going to make a fuss, and he will definitely attack it in groups, and vacate a vacant seat is a vacant seat.

And now, if you have the eyesight, you don't go to the front at all, you can go as far as you can, don't wade into troubled waters, and wait for the dust to settle and then come back to earn fame and fortune. On the occasion of the alternation of the old and the new, the wind bones are the easiest to be broken, just like the change of seasons, people are most likely to get sick, a truth.

Master Rong San said with some sorrow: "Ah Wu, Ah Wu, now my father doesn't know what kind of character he should match you to, so that he can be worthy of you?" ”

The author has something to say: Today's mother has a headache, nasal congestion, and snot, I really can't stand it, I just want to lie down.

So, if there are children's shoes that you can't see, please tell me and update them tomorrow.
