Chapter 184: Extreme Desire for Poverty
Jing Chun, I heard that the house has been very lively these days. //。 qВ5, C0М\"Gao Shilin seemed to be smiling, not changing the subject.
"I'm afraid it's not just my house that's lively." Chu Zhen smiled and said: "In the entire Bianliang City, wherever the new science and technology scholars stay, it is a festive scene, a lively scene, I am afraid that it can only be compared with the Spring Festival." ”
"And so it is." Gao Shilin agreed, and said with a smile: "It's just that your house is a little different, people are holding banquets to entertain guests, while your mansion is hosting banquets and waiting for matchmakers." ”
"There's no way, who made my family's goal obvious, I really envy the world and Xiuying, living in the inn, if you meet someone you don't like, you can close the door and thank you, or if you feel annoyed, you can simply find another place to stay." Chu Zhi sighed.
"No wonder I haven't heard from them for the past two days." Gao Shilin suddenly wanted to invite the champion to the house to chat and introduce him to his brother-in-law and eldest brother-in-law, but he couldn't find anyone.
"I don't know if the two of them are gone, but don't miss the royal banquet." Chu Zhen smiled, and knew that his worries were purely superfluous, if he could even forget the Qionglin Banquet, then the two of them would definitely not be able to remember their names.
"Someone must be here, maybe in a corner." Patrolling around, I saw that the figure was shaking and disorderly, Gao Shilin immediately gave up the idea of searching with his eyes, his eyes quietly turned, and he chuckled: "I almost let you pass again, Jing Chun, to be honest, so many matchmakers come to say goodbye, can you find a suitable one?" ”
seemed to be a smile that was not there, but secretly Gao Shilin paid great attention to it, carefully examined Chu Qian's expression, and wanted to find some clues from it, so that he could go back to make a difference.
"That's right." After pondering for a moment, Chu Zhen chuckled: "I found it." ”
Gao Shilin's heart tightened, and he asked, "Which lady is it?" ”
"Caiqing. Why do you seem to be in a more anxious way than me. Chu Zhen smiled: "You have a family." Do you still want to compete with me? I'm not afraid that my sister-in-law will be angry. ”
"Jing Chun. No kidding. Gao Shilin snorted. Make up your mind. smiled and said: "Which lady is so blessed." was actually hit by Jing Chun. You might as well say it, let me advise you a thing or two, maybe I know this person, too. ”
"Even if you say it, you won't know it." Chu Zhen chuckled.
"Don't tell me how you know I don't know." Gao Shilin rapped: "You only know my ...... after saying it." ”
"Alright. I say. Chu Zhi waved his hand slightly. If you pinch it again, I'm afraid that my ears will not be at peace. smiled and said, "It's the little maid next to me." I fell in love with her and married her. ”
"Little ...... Maid.
Gao Shilin was stunned, then rolled up his sleeves, and scolded with a smile: "Okay, you're playing tricks on me again next time, don't blame me for being polite." Obviously, in Gao Shilin's heart, he is also the same as everyone else, agreeing with the tradition of being the right person, and when he heard Chu Qian's words, his first reaction was to be fooled.
"You think so." Chu Zhen smiled and did not explain.
Gao Shilin, who had already shown his fist, suddenly wanted to go to Chu Zhi's perverted strength, and hurriedly withdrew his hand and said: "Forget it, for the sake of you being a literati scholar and powerless, I have the right to forgive you." ”
Chu Zhen smiled, suddenly thought of his plan, and hurriedly whispered: "Caiqing, there is something I ...... about." ”
"Your Majesty has a will, you should enter the table quickly." A voice that seemed to have used its strength to scream fell back into the garden, and everyone who heard the sound did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly walked towards the seats in the garden.
"Jing Chun, if there is anything to talk about next time, I'll avoid it first." How to say that today's protagonist is still the new and first jinshi, and the people who mixed in were naturally arranged elsewhere, hearing the voice, Gao Shilin pointed not far away and said: "That's where the seat of the new Jinshi is, you can go quickly." ”
"Okay, I'll go to your house in two days, and we'll talk about it in detail." Chu Zhen smiled, said goodbye to Gao Shilin, turned around and walked towards the Jinshi seat, only to find that hundreds of seats seemed to be full of people, Chu Zhen had no choice but to stop, looking around, ready to find a vacant seat to sit down, so as not to be rude in front of the emperor.
"Jing Chun, this way."
Just as Chu Zhen was thinking about whether to ask the ceremonial official for help, Feng Jing's voice came from the front, Chu Zhen walked over happily, and found that there were many acquaintances here, all of whom were first-class Jinshi, and obviously the arrangement of the seats was the same as the ranking of the gold list.
"The world, Brother Wentong." Chu Zhen smiled and saluted: "You are all here." ”
"Jing Chun is here, sit down quickly, Your Majesty seems to be coming." When returning the salute, someone reminded softly, Chu Zhen nodded lightly, sat down quietly in his seat, and waited quietly, at this time, everyone in the garden had already sat down separately, and the sound of discussion gradually weakened until it disappeared.
Suddenly, the palace ceremonial music played, everyone hurriedly stood solemnly, a moment later, the first came in a team of Jinwu guards wearing armor, standing majestically on both sides, staring at the front without squinting, followed by Zhao Zhen's honor guard, that is, they were playing and singing the palace ceremonial music, and soon after, surrounded by a group of chamberlains and palace maids, Zhao Zhen brought the same dignified and beautiful, charming charm, wearing gorgeous palace clothes
Walked in.
"Your Majesty has seen Your Majesty." The crowd saluted and shouted in unison, and their voices resounded through the sky.
"You don't have to be polite, just sit down." Sitting down in front of him, Zhao Zhen said loudly, and then the beautiful woman sat down next to Zhao Zhen gently.
After sitting down, Chu Zhen was a little confused in his heart, like other uninformed people, he secretly looked at the beautiful women beside Zhao Zhen, and when he suddenly saw the golden hairpin on her head, his heart moved, and he hurriedly lowered his head, and quietly reminded Feng Jing next to him: "In the world, in the Qionglin banquet, Your Majesty and the queen came, it is really an honor for us to wait." ”
The voice was not loud, but not only Feng Jing heard it, but when others heard it, they suddenly saw the phoenix pattern on the beautiful woman's clothes, and they thought that the beauty was Princess Diji, and they lowered their heads.
"The presence of the two saints in Qionglin is an incomparable honor." As if to prove Chu Zhen's guess correct, Zai Zhi Wen Yanbo stood up beside him and said with a smile: "You haven't seen Niangniang soon." ”
"I've seen the Queen Mother." Everyone didn't dare to slow down, and hurriedly got up and saluted again.
"Don't be formal, sit.
Empress Cao said lightly, waved her hand lightly, and then fell silent.
Chu Zhen saluted again and sat down, and couldn't help but glance at Empress Cao quietly, although it was far away and couldn't see clearly, but she still felt that she seemed to be very young, as if the years had not left obvious traces on her beautiful face.
For the deeds of Empress Cao, Chu quality can be said to be familiar, Renzong Mingdao two years, after the death of Empress Dowager Liu, the first thing Song Renzong did in his own government was to abolish the then queen Guo Shi under the pretext of having no children, and lived in Changning Palace, originally wanted to set up a favored concubine as the queen, but was opposed by the ministers of the court, and the result of the negotiation was that the eighteen-year-old Cao was edicted to enter the palace and become the queen.
Empress Cao was born in Jiangmen, familiar with the scriptures, good at flying white books, Zhao Zhen admired her very much, and was able to personally lead the palace concubines to plant grains in the garden, raise silkworms and collect mulberries, and was also recognized by the ministers of the court, and the queen's position was stable.
In the eighth year of Qingli, Zhao Zhen stayed in the palace of Queen Cao at night, in the middle of the night, there was a sudden rebellion in the palace, Queen Cao immediately gathered the palace people, fearless in danger, commanded Ruo Ding, killed the rebels, and was highly appreciated by the courtiers, until the end, no one can shake the queen's position, even if Zhao Zhen at this time shows the slightest intention of abolishing the queen, I am afraid that he will not get the support of the courtiers, and will compete against each other.
The lord who can be elected by the ministers to listen to the government when Yingzong is critically ill in the future is really not a simple character, Chu Zhen secretly admires it, but also warns himself not to offend her, otherwise he can only stay in a poor country in the next life, and learn to cultivate the land for the benefit of future generations.
"Your Majesty has a will, a royal banquet." Receiving Zhao Zhen's signal, the waiter Zhang Ruoshui hurriedly shouted, and as soon as his voice fell, a group of waiters who were obviously strictly trained rushed in from all directions, politely and cautiously placing the wine and food on the tray in their hands on everyone's table.
The imperial banquet, of course, refers to the palace food, the court food of the Song Dynasty is known for its poverty and luxury, Chu Zhi has long coveted this, when the waiter put the food in front of him, Chu Zhi couldn't help but sniff it quietly, and an attractive aroma suddenly came to his face.
In the Song Dynasty, whether it was at home or outside the restaurant, or even in the palace, the implementation of the meal system, the imperial chef cooked the food, placed it on the plate, and distributed it by the waiter, so the delicacies in front of the banquet were exactly the same, and there was no difference, even the emperor's.
Soon after, the tables were filled with steaming delicacies, but they still did not move, and sat upright, looking at the emperor, as if they were waiting for instructions.
"At such a good time, the ministers of the Great Song Dynasty gathered here, and I was happy in my heart, and I wanted to drink with Zhuqing." Zhao Zhen smiled, raised his glass and took a sip of Chun wine.
Seeing this, how could everyone not be interested, and they raised their glasses to Zhao Zhen respectfully, the emperor can drink, but his subordinates have to drink it all to show their respect.
Of course, Chu Zhi did not have this concern, the palace wine did have a little more fragrant, carefully recalled, Chu Zhi's attention was immediately attracted by the exquisite wine glass in his hand, under the illumination of the sun, the cup flashed with silver brilliance, as if to dazzle people's eyes, gently weighed the weight of the cup, Chu Zhi can be sure, this is made of silver, and the purity is full, but the process of the cup is so refined, the price is probably several times higher than the value.
Chu Zhi glanced at the tableware serving the dishes, sure enough, it was also made of silver, looking around, the banquet was full of silver glittering, obviously he was not a special case, and the careful Chu quality also found that the cup of the emperor and queen was crystal clear, obviously a crystal cup or a jade cup, and the cups of Wen Yanbo's high-ranking officials and ministers, flashing with yellow color, were naturally gold cups, at this time Chu Zhen finally understood why the court banquet in the Song Dynasty was famous for its poverty and luxury.
