A heavy snowfall came quietly after the festival, decorating the entire imperial capital with silver makeup, which was extremely enchanting.

In the past few days, many officials of the Ministry of Industry and Zhou Lang have come to visit Mrs. Zhou with their families, and the Son of Heaven has enshrined the six people of the Shangyuan Lantern Festival.

According to the "Da Zheng Law", the wife of an official can obtain the title of her husband accordingly, the first product is called Mrs. Guo, the second product is called Mrs., the third product is called Lady, the fourth rank is called Gongren, the fifth rank is pleasant, the sixth rank is Anren, and the seventh or eighth rank is a widow.

As for the shadow, it is necessary for the great officials to make great contributions. Let's talk about the official first, only the officials above the four-rank official have the qualifications of the shadow son, from the four-grade official shadow and his son from the nine-rank Lin Lang, and the four-grade shadow is the nine-rank Confucian Linlang. And so on, from the third grade of the shadow from the eighth grade of the Lang, from the third grade of the shade of the eighth grade to the Shi Lang, from the second grade of the shade from the seventh grade of the Assanlang, from the second grade of the shade to invite the Lang, from the first grade of the shade of the Lang, from the first grade of the shade of the Lang, from the first grade of the shade of the Lang.

Da Zheng has a very strict control over the title, and he is not knighted for non-merit, and he is not a marquis for his military merits. Some titles can be hereditary, while others have to be demoted. With Wei Yishen being alone in the two dynasties, he was only named Changchi Bo, and he was demoted, and his son was automatically demoted to Changchizi, and his grandson was Changchi Nan, and then there was no more. The title is the most respected, the wife of the prince can be called Mrs. Guo, and the other titles are directly called Mrs., such as the wife of Yang Xiangliang, Uncle Yiyong, can be called Mrs. Uncle Yiyong.

In addition to sealing his wife, he can also ask for his mother, for example, after Jiang Anyi became an official, he declared to the Ministry of Rites that his mother was a Liupin'an person. Generally speaking, the Ministry of Rites is awarded according to the corresponding official rank, and there are very few cases of the Son of Heaven being entitled.

In the first two years of the Qing war, Zhang Liangkuan was loyal to the country, the Son of Heaven was loyal, and his son was sealed from the nine pins of Lin Lang, and Mrs. Liniang was enshrined in the six pins, which was a great grace. Who would have expected that Zhou Yuanwailang won the seal of the Liupin'an people for his mother with two pomelo lanterns, which was simply a gold drop from the sky and was smashed. Many people beat their chests, how could they not grasp such a good opportunity, but they were not close ministers around the prince, so they couldn't get close, so naturally they didn't have a chance. His mother was still secondary, and the most important thing was Jane in the emperor's heart. From the number of officials in the capital of Liupin, there are a few that can be remembered by the Son of Heaven.

Zhou Yuanwailang is not only a straight bachelor of Chongwen Pavilion, but also valued by the Son of Heaven, and has become the hottest figure since the beginning of the spring of Fengle in the twelfth year.

Years later, this batch of new science and technology scholars successively awarded officials to take office, the top three stayed in Beijing as usual, the champion Lang Zhuo Chengxun was appointed as the left to fill the que, the official rank is only from the seventh grade, but it is extremely noble, is the son of heaven close minister; Ding Chu, the secretary of the Bangyan Circle, supervised the school book from the seventh grade, and corrected the books of the national scriptures; Tanhua Wenqing ordered from Taicang under the Si Nong Temple under the seven products.

From the point of view of official rank, whether it is Zhuo Bang or the champion list of previous sessions, it is not as good as Jiang Bang, and it is inevitable that there will be some discussions. Jiang Anyi learned these gossip from Tian Shoulou's mouth, and he didn't think about comparing it with anyone, so he laughed it. However, he didn't care, someone cared, and a cold wind blew from nowhere, enveloping the entire Yongchang City in the cold of spring.

With the help of the afterglow of the Shangyuan Lantern Festival, there is a kind of self-rotating marquee in the streets and alleys, and the price of fifty copper coins is expensive. There are a lot of rich people in Beijing, and only fifty Wen is naturally not in their eyes, and several fang markets close to the imperial city and the east market, if any child does not have a marquee in his hand, he is embarrassed to go out to play with his friends.

This kind of novel marquee lantern is said to be made by the word Xianjiang Anyi, I don't know who rumored that when the prince presented the lamp to the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven once denounced it as "strange tricks and tricks", the same is the lamp, the treatment of the marquee and the pomelo lamp is one day and one place, and it can't help but make people reverie. However, most people don't dare to look at Jiang Anyi with ordinary eyes, his ups and downs are always unexpected, although he was reprimanded by the Son of Heaven, who knows if it will be "the deep responsibility of love".

There is another thing that is secretly reported, no one dares to talk about it in public, and the more this is the case, the more carefully people who learn the news think about it. This Shangyuan Lantern Festival, the Son of Heaven did not give the lantern champion to the seemingly child's play of the lantern race on the Qinzheng Building, but rewarded the prince's benevolence, and also praised the loyalty and filial piety of the second prince, and even some people said that the queen's face was pale, and Huang Shufei smiled.

Jiang Anyi vaguely heard such a rumor, as a straight scholar of Chongwen Pavilion, he is undoubtedly on the side of the prince, and there are endless records of winning the heir in the history books, no matter whether it is success or failure, it is a river of blood. Jiang Anyi was stunned no matter how stunned he was, and he knew that this kind of thing could not be heard, asked, or touched.

The sun rises, the snow melts, revealing the filth covered with snow, and the city of Yongchang is muddy everywhere. Horses' hooves trampled on the dirty snow, splashing on pedestrians who couldn't dodge.

Jiang Anyi and Li Shicheng walked side by side to attend a cocktail party held by Deng Huaisu, a waiter of the Ministry of Rites, which was the first big gathering of the "Ze Party" after the year. Deng Huaisu took an exam every five years, was rated at the top level, and was promoted by one level according to the law, but it happened that Wang Kefu was reprimanded by the Son of Heaven and felt shameless to resign. The position of the squire was vacant, originally the squire was an official rank from the fourth grade, Deng Huaisu was still one step away, and the Son of Heaven specially approved the position of the squire of the Regent Department.

Since Wei Mingyuan, the leading figure of the Dali Temple, told the old man to return to his hometown, and Guo Taigu, the young eunuch of the Shaofu, served as the assassin of Huangzhou, the voice of the "Ze Party" in the court has been greatly weakened, and the rest are mostly petty officials of five or six grades, who cannot be put on the stage and cannot speak in front of the Son of Heaven.

First, Wei Huaichao was promoted to the left eunuch of Likuang (and concurrently led the imperial history Zhongcheng), and then Deng Huaisu was the regent of the Ministry of Regents. Deng Huaisu intended to take the opportunity of the reception to win over the hearts of the "Ze Party" and regain the right to speak in the court.

The cocktail party is located in Fengle Fang Xun Drunken Building, which is the industry of Dali Temple (from Wupinxia) Yujingshan, and this public is also a person in the "Ze Party", and it is convenient to speak here. Yu Mingyang greeted guests in front of the door, he had a close relationship with Deng Huaisu, and he has always regarded himself as a junior and disciple.

Seeing Jiang Anyi, Yu Mingyang smiled, stepped forward and saluted: "Anyi, your master is really difficult to invite, if it weren't for Uncle Lang to invite someone, I'm afraid I would disdain to participate in this small party." It's still a big face. ”

The words are kind, but sour. Yu Mingyang first met Jiang Anyi when he was gathering in Fengshan, when the beautiful people who came to Beijing to participate in the imperial examination from Zechang Academy were Fang Yuanchen, Lin Yizhen, Liu Yushan, Zhu Mingde and others, this Jiang Anyi was very rustic in his eyes at that time, and he didn't take him in his eyes at all. Later, this son was appreciated by Shen Guogong, and he regretted it with three yuan.

originally thought about how to save the relationship, but he didn't know that this son went to Renzhou to clear the war, offended the officialdom of the family, and he was secretly proud of knowing people. Unexpectedly, the situation changed again, and the Son of Heaven favored this son, and this son also made several major events, which shook the government and the opposition, and the "Ze Party" regretted rejecting it. Fortunately, Jiang Anyi's concubine brother Li Shicheng is a clever person, and after several interactions, he patted his chest and said that he would pull Jiang Anyi to participate in the drinking party, and sure enough, Jiang Anyi came.

"Don't dare, Brother Yu is polite, I'm not afraid that I'm a stunned person who will have any bad impact on you." Jiang Anyi didn't have a good impression of Mingyang, so he stabbed him painlessly.

Li Shicheng hurriedly rounded the field next to him and said with a smile: "Brother Yu, how can you welcome this big Buddha." I understand, it must be the most familiar to you in the academy, so I have to overuse it. ”

"Hahaha, Brother Shicheng's mouth is really good at saying, this messenger will be handed over to you in the future. Please, I'll talk to you later. ”

The heat in the drunken building is blowing on the face, and the cold is gone. In the middle of the hall is a wooden platform with a square circle of three zhang, and there are dancing girls. Eight tables are placed along the perimeter of the wooden platform, on which melons and fruit snacks are placed, and dozens of people are already eating and chatting.

Deng Huaisu is undoubtedly the center, there is a circle of people around him, when Jiang Anyi came in, Deng Huaisu was talking to a big fat man beside him, Li Shicheng introduced softly: "Anyi, that fat man is Yu Jingshan." ”

Jiang Anyi and Li Shicheng hurriedly stepped forward to greet Deng Huaisu, and seeing that Jiang Anyi was willing to come to the cocktail party, Deng Huaisu looked a little excited, and pulled Jiang Anyi to introduce the surrounding crowd. Some know and some don't, Jiang Anyi felt very cordial as a student of Zechang Academy.

Fang Yuanchen was also in the crowd, he failed again in the imperial examination this time, success or failure is a hero, Fang Yuanchen has long lost the arrogance of the year, and respectfully saluted Jiang Anyi. Jiang Anyi sighed in his heart, smiled and said a few words to him. People came one after another, Jiang Anyi saw that there were not a few Beijing officials who were born in Zechang Academy, and there were about 60 people who did not return to their hometowns, and there were really many people.

The banquet began at the end of the unitary hour, Deng Huaisu gave a simple speech, and everyone began to eat and drink, and exchanged feelings. Everyone present knows that eating and drinking is secondary, and the opportunity is rare, and you may be able to use it one day if you have more incense.

Deng Huaisu deliberately pulled Jiang Anyi to sit beside him, and whispered: "I received a letter from the mountain chief, in which he said that Anyi donated 2,000 taels of silver to the academy, and Deng admired it very much. However, Deng's family is poor, and he can only maintain the livelihood of the family by relying on Yulu, and he can't compare with An Yi, and squeezing out fifty taels of silver is a show of affection. ”

"Jiang Moubo has a family property, and he has the ability to do it, so it is incumbent on him. What's more, the mountain chief has a great kindness to me, and what I have repaid is far less than what the academy and the mountain chief have given me. Jiang Anyi sighed.

Deng Huaisu nodded and said: "The crow has the righteousness of feeding, the sheep knows the grace of kneeling milk, my generation of scholars read and read reasonably, and they must be worthy of the king of Sheji, and worthy of the people of Limin. ”

Deng Huaisu's tone was so high that Jiang Anyi didn't know how to answer for a while, and the scene cooled down.

At this moment, the curtain of the restaurant was lifted, and a loud laugh came, "The gathering of colleagues in the academy, how can I be without me Wei Huaichao." ”

Deng Huaisu frowned, Wei Huaichao is here, this one-man show is about to turn into a double fight.
