『Chapter error, click here to report』
The festive atmosphere of Lin'an City, deliberately set off by the royal family, is even more lively than the first three days of the Yuan Day.
In addition, during the period of the Yuan Day, there are many people in the restaurant tea shop and Goolan Washe who say that today is the day of the prince's wedding, so they can't go to the prince's mansion and Li Dao's mansion to see the lively people.
From time to time along the way, you can see some sedan chairs and carriages either turning left along the Royal Street in the direction of Li Dao's Fangdi, or turning right to the direction of the Prince's Mansion.
In Ye Qing's view, the only difference between the prince's wedding and the Yuan Ri is that the Yuan Ri awakened the people of the entire Lin'an City, whether it was the people, officials, etc., while the prince's wedding brought together the officials of the entire Lin'an City and the state capitals to Lin'an.
Ye Qing, who had been discussing with Li San and others for half a night last night, went out with Liang Xing and Mo Xiaobao with congratulatory gifts, got into the carriage, and saw that when he was about to arrive at the door of Li Dao's mansion, Ye Qing found that he ran to Bai Chun's embroidery building in a daze this morning, originally to get his field knife.
But...... After seeing Bai Chun, who was lazy and lazy in light makeup, Lord Ye only cared about taking advantage, so after his hand touched the important place of Bai Chun's body for the first time, Bai Chun, who was like a spasm, forcibly endured the sound that made her shy and embarrassed between her throats, and bit Ye Qing's shoulder fiercely.
So Ye Qing, who fled in a hurry, grabbed the "field knife" and ran out of Bai Chun's boudoir.
And at this moment, seeing that he was about to get out of the car, Ye Qing realized that the field knife he grabbed somehow turned into a pair of scissors, and it was exchanged with Princess Xin that day, the scissors that were only for the royal family, with the royal logo and the Taifu Temple mark.
"What the hell is going on?" Ye Qing was a little stunned when he held the scissors, the field knife became fine, will it change?
"Change." Ye Qing shouted at the scissors, but the scissors were lying indifferently in the palm of his hand.
In desperation, Ye Qing had no choice but to put the scissor hand into his arms after the carriage stopped, and then jumped off the carriage with an easy-going smile, and walked to the door of Li Dao, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, who was holding a congratulatory gift behind him.
This is the first wedding that Ye Qing attended after coming to the Southern Song Dynasty, but even he didn't expect that the wedding customs of the Southern Song Dynasty that he saw for the first time would be such a tall wedding that ordinary people would not be able to participate in.
In Ye Qing's opinion, the ceremonial official at the door seemed to be dressed as a eunuch in the palace, and his sharp voice was clear, whether it was the six characters of Longtuge University Scholar, or the two words of Ye Qing, or the congratulatory gift list brought by Ye Qing, they were all clearly sent into the ears of everyone at the gate of the mansion.
The three characters of the Imperial City Division were obviously not suitable for appearing in this festive atmosphere, so after the Longtu Pavilion Scholar, when people were still pricking up their ears to listen to others, the ceremonial official had already read the gift list.
Li Lifang seemed to be waiting for Ye Qing here, and as the ceremonial official finished reading the last word on the gift list in a long tone, Li Lifang appeared in front of Ye Qing at the right time.
Li Lifang, who is dressed as a noble son, is full of spring breeze and radiant, although he is not as graceful and graceful as Yushu, but compared with the past, today's Li Lifang is indeed much more handsome and chic.
"Brother Ye is willing to appreciate the light, and the younger brother is really fortunate to have three lives and shine." Li Lifang smiled and bowed, but between his tone and demeanor, he could still feel a trace of fierceness.
"Li Shangshu invited, Ye was naturally flattered, it was too late to be happy, how could he miss to congratulate Li Shangshu and Brother Li." Ye Qing said with an easy-going smile.
Li Lifang smiled vigorously, not hiding the smugness between his demeanor, Ye Qing, who was supposed to go to the mansion at this moment, was stopped by Li Lifang, and said with a mysterious smile: "Brother Ye might as well wait here with me for a while?" An acquaintance came over in a moment. ”
"Oh? So I know each other? Ye Qing pretended to be puzzled knowing it.
"That's natural, but Brother Ye will let the younger brother sell it, and after seeing it for a while, Brother Ye will know who it is." Li Lifang smiled mysteriously, and the two stood on one side, looking at the people in front of them who came and went to say hello to each other.
With a small peep, Ye Qing looked at the comings and goings, all kinds of faces, and all kinds of beaming faces, and basically could conclude how much influence Li Dao had in the court over the years, and how he came to be a person.
And those who are willing to come to Li Dao's mansion will obviously be people from the queen's family in the future, which is a truth that anyone understands.
Now almost all the big and small officials in Lin'an City, Ye Qing knows them now, and even most of them can still be named.
Standing beside Li Lifang, Ye Qing looked at the pedestrians passing by one by one, although they didn't know themselves and didn't know who the Imperial City Division was.
But Ye Qing had a clear understanding of these Lin'an officials who flashed in front of him, or after greeting and congratulating Li Lifang, he even knew their backgrounds.
The Lin'an officials who came to Li Daofu to congratulate were naturally mainly from the Ministry of Industry, supplemented by the Ministry of Households, and even included officials from local prefectures and counties, most of whom were under the age of thirty or forty.
However, to Ye Qing's surprise, before he and Li Lifang waited for Tang Hexi, they ushered in Zhu Xi and Lu Zuqian first.
Under Li Dao's personal greeting, Zhu Xi and Lu Zuqian muttered congratulatory words in their mouths, and then the three of them slowly walked to Ye Qing and Li Lifang.
"Ye Xiaoyou, I haven't seen you for many days, it's always good?" Zhu Xi had a simple smile on his face, and after seeing Ye Qing, he took the lead in asking, there is no noble identity of the Southern Song Dynasty Confucian, and his approachability is surprising.
"The last time I had a debate with Xiaoyou in West Lake, I will still think from time to time, if Xiaoyou has leisure one day, how about we debate again?" Lu Zuqian has a famous man with a lupine scarf, although he does not have a fan in his hand, but his elegant and calm demeanor can still see that this person seems to have an extraordinary bearing.
Ye Qing smiled and bowed to the three of them, and then said hello to Li Dao.
"Lord Ye can come today, not only is the dog cube happy, but the old man is also grateful, how about a few drinks in a while?" Li Dao said politely.
Then he continued to look at Ye Qing, and after saying to Zhu Xi and Lu Zuqian, he walked to the corner of the rockery with Ye Qing and stood still, looked back at Zhu Xi and Lu Zuqian, and said: "Commander Ye is here today, the old man is deeply honored. But today, Mr. Zhu Xi and Mr. Lu Zuqian came here, not because of the invitation of the old man. And....... ”
Li Dao groaned for a moment, and his expression was quite embarrassed.
So Ye Qing immediately answered with great interest: "Master Li might as well say it directly, if there is a sending, the lower officials will definitely go all out." ”
"Commander Ye is serious, but the old man really has a reluctant request." Li Dao said with a smile: "But before that, the old man still needs to make it clear to you, Zhu Xi and Lu Zuqian, they have been to the cold house several times in the past few days, and you also know that since the completion of the Yuan You armillary celestial image, the saint has also given the old man the position of a scholar of the Longtu Pavilion, and now the minutes of the Yuan You armillary sphere elephant are in the Longtu Pavilion." ”
"It doesn't matter, how can the lower official make Lord Li embarrassed, not to mention that this Yuan You armillary celestial instrument is not the work of the lower official alone, Lord Li, you and Taifu Temple should be the greatest. Therefore, if Mr. Zhu Xi and Mr. Lu Zuqian are interested, they may wish to read it. Ye Qing was extremely empathetic and thought about Li Dao.
If it weren't for the princess telling him the details, he really didn't know that Zhu Xi and Lu Zuqian planned to make a fuss about themselves from the Yuan You armillary celestial image.
"That'...... That's great, thank you Commander Ye for your understanding. Li Dao was stunned for a moment, and forced a smile on his face.
Obviously, he didn't expect Ye Qing to be so open-minded, and he wasn't afraid of others reading the minutes at all.
So Li Dao couldn't help muttering in his heart: Could it be that Zhu Xi swore that he could find a flaw in the Yuan You armillary sphere, but it was not alarmist?
But no matter what, things need to go step by step, if there is no Zhu Xi's step, it is not a big deal, but it is a little regrettable.
"By the way, since Commander Ye doesn't mind, then the old man has to be cheeky and ask Commander Ye for a favor." Li Dao looked at Zhu Xi and Lu Zuqian, and after a few words of greeting with others, he continued to walk towards the house, so he settled down and said to Ye Qing.
"Master Li, but it doesn't hurt to say it." Ye Qing's easy-going smile did not change in the slightest, but he couldn't help but be vigilant in his heart, and it was estimated that Li Dao was about to start digging a pit for himself.
Otherwise, how could Li Dao, who is an important person today, have such a long time to grind his teeth here with himself?
Li Dao coughed dryly, and then said with a worried expression: "I still have to thank Commander Ye for relieving the siege for the matter of Yuan Ri, and the old man will be grateful another day." It's just that today's little girl's wedding, although there is a forbidden army outside the house to maintain law and order, there must be no mistakes, but the old man is in this house...... Moreover, when people are old, their minds are heavier, and they naturally have more concerns, so Commander Ye sees if he can personally lead people and inspect the back house of the old man's mansion from time to time? ”
"This ...... I'm afraid that's inappropriate, isn't it? Ye Qing refused with a smile, but he quickly analyzed it in his mind, how did Li Dao want to yin himself?
Back house? What's in the back house? Do you have a knife and axe hand? As long as you step into the back house, will you be hacked to death immediately?
Li Dao looked worried, and when he heard Ye Qing's euphemistic refusal, he shook his head with a wry smile, and after raising his head, he still looked worried, and said with a sigh: "Although the matter of Yuan Ri is thanks to the blessing of Commander Ye and helped the old man relieve the siege, it is ...... is still the same sentence, the little girl is getting married today, and the old man is afraid that those Jin, Xia or Liao people will suddenly find trouble with the old man at this time. ”
Seeing Ye Qing's slightly moved look, Li Dao struck the iron and said while it was hot: "What's more, this is also a matter related to the royal face, if something goes wrong on today's happy day, it doesn't matter if the old man lets out this old face, but the face of the heavenly family The old man can't afford it, to say something that Commander Ye doesn't like to hear, the Imperial City Division can't afford such a mistake, right?" ”
