Emperor Dongyuan said that he didn't believe it, but in fact, he was already faithful in his heart. He wiped his hands and face with the hot towel given by the palace maid, and asked Nanyang with a smile: "Who is so bold and dares to misinterpret Qu Zi's "Tianwen" like this? ”

Nanyang could see that her father was in a good mood at this time, so he smiled and said, "You definitely can't guess who this is." ”

Emperor Dongyuan smiled. What's so hard to guess about this? Ordinary readers don't have enough time to read the serious books for the exam, and they don't make great efforts to study Chu Ci; Those who have entered the office are anxious about the complicated personnel and miscellaneous official affairs every day, and they have no time to ponder; And there are not many people who have time to verify the authenticity of the original article of "Tianwen" and can tell this unbelievable explanation to Nanyang...... After just a little thought, he found out the answer: "It's Tian Dongli's daughter, right?" What is her name, Tian, Tian ......" He really couldn't think of Tian Xiu's name, but he just remembered that Tian Xiu's alias was Qingshan, and a few years ago there was a book, the title of which seemed to be "Qingshan Manuscript". Thinking of this "Qingshan Manuscript", which was very controversial at the time, he naturally thought of Changsha who helped Tian Xiu publish the book. It's strange, Concubine De is sick, why did she only see Nanyang and not Changsha? Could it be that the two daughters are falling apart again? He digressed and asked, "What about the rouge slaves?" Why didn't she come today? ”

"It's called Tian Xiu." Nanyang said, "Rouge slaves have been hiding in the barracks recently. However, the day after tomorrow is Chongyang, no matter how busy she is, she will definitely come back tomorrow. ”

Emperor Dongyuan didn't care much about the Double Ninth Festival. The Mid-Autumn Festival is to watch the singing and dancing with the queen's concubines and the princes and grandchildren, and the Chongyang Festival is to celebrate the chrysanthemum and drink chrysanthemum wine with the old ministers who are resting in Beijing. However, Nanyang seemed to have something to say in his words, teaching him to be curious, and asked, "What did she hide in the barracks?" ”

“…… Recently, there is a scholar who has been pestering her. ”

"What's going on?"

"It's a move from the Pei family in Jiangzhou, who came to the capital to take the big test next year." Nanyang said. When it comes to this, she's kind of funny. In early August, she was invited to attend a cultural meeting in Nuwa Mountain, outside the city. This kind of literary meeting not only has to know articles, but also poetry and small orders, sometimes it is ten days and half a month, she is afraid that she will be bored and bored on Nuwa Mountain, so she wants to ask someone to be a companion all the way. It just so happened that Chen Pu had only attended a meeting in the military department a few days ago, and she grabbed her sister by the hand. The literary meeting was very good, and the invitees were basically celebrities from all over the world, and they also published a few good articles and excellent poems. On such occasions, she is naturally at home; But Chen Pu was a little unhappy. But this child of the Pei family came to her side when he had nothing to do, and talked to her in a rambling manner, Chen Pu was not good at attacking, and finally he was so angry that he didn't say goodbye. The scholar surnamed Pei didn't give up, and when he returned to the city, he found the Changsha Princess's Mansion, and then found her in the Zhuangzi outside the city, Chen Pu couldn't wait to draw his sword and cut this guy! There was no way, so she had to hide in the Gyeonggi camp to avoid purity.

Emperor Dongyuan listened happily with a smile on his face at first, and gradually the smile on his face retracted. Nanyang and Changsha, the two daughters are still in their youth, but they are both widowed, which is also a disease in his heart. Especially Nanyang, Nanyang's husband was wronged and died under his nod and approval, which taught him to always feel some guilt when facing Nanyang. In the past two years, he has always wanted to find a good husband for Nanyang, and he has also secretly paid attention to some people. But looking at it, I always feel that these people are a little too mediocre and unworthy of Nanyang, so I haven't mentioned it to Nanyang. His daughter is very arrogant and has a high vision, if she points out the idler to her as a husband, I am afraid that she will think that she is humiliating her! And this kind of thing is not urgent, he can only pay attention to it slowly.

After Nanyang finished speaking, he asked in a deep voice: "Have you inquired about the situation of this Pei family's children?" ”

"I inquired." Nanyang also put away the relaxed expression of giggling and telling stories, lowered his eyes and replied with a serious expression, "It is the lineage of Jiangzhou Wenxi Pei, the second son at home, the disciple of Song Guan, a famous man in Hebei, and the moral articles are remarkable, and he is still the first place in the Jiangzhou government examination last year." This man is twenty-seven years old, his wife died of illness four years ago, and he has a son and a daughter, aged 10 and 6, all of whom are raised by concubines in the family......"

Emperor Dongyuan listened in silence and did not speak. The family background and age are quite compatible, but the identity of this move is a little worse. It seems that this matter has to be put aside for a while to see what kind of results Pei Jiazi can have when he participates in the big test next year, and then he can say the following. He said to Nanyang: "You find someone to talk about, let him feel at ease first." ”

Nanyang nodded. That's what she meant. If this guy can't even get up to the second list of the big test, don't be delusional about reaching the sky in one step. The princesses of Da Zhao are generally either married to the descendants of meritorious officials, or married to Jinshi and Jinshi origins. Marry the princess to a fellow jinshi? It is impossible for the Heavenly Family to lose such a face!

Emperor Dongyuan picked up the topic just now: "This new interpretation of "Tianwen" was said by Tian Dongli's daughter, right?" ”

Nanyang's expression was a little dazed, and he paused for a moment before saying, "...... No. It's not her ......"

Emperor Dongyuan only thought that she had heard that her sister's marriage had a little hope, so Gu Ying felt sorry for herself, sighed silently in her heart, and didn't think much about it, and said casually: "It's not her?" Who else could there be? I can't think of it. ”

"It's Uncle Ying."

"Huh?" Emperor Dongyuan was about to drink water, but when the teacup was handed to his mouth, he stopped, frowned and said suspiciously, "Is it Shang Yanshan?" One by one, this is really unexpected! He put down the teacup, thought about it, shook his head again, and said in a tone that he couldn't say what it was like, "You can lead troops to fight on the horse, you can govern the place when you get off the horse, and you can also tinker with glass and the celestial sphere...... This Shangzhu country of mine is really versatile. ”

This plain tone, which sounded like no ups and downs, and even the chuckle made Nanyang unable to figure it out for a while. She didn't follow her father's words, but just said on a case-by-case basis: "This explanation of Chu Ci is indeed from the mouth of Uncle Yingxian. Daughter and sister, younger brother, and Tian Xiu, all of them were there at the time......"

At this time, the palace maid came over with a bowl of fried decoction. Emperor Dongyuan didn't let the palace maid feed Concubine De medicine, so he took the bowl himself, first took a spoon and scooped a spoonful of decoction and tried the heat and cold on his lips, and felt that it was not very hot, so he handed it to Concubine De, turned around and said to Nanyang: "Rouge Nu and Can'er are also there?" When was this? ”

“…… It was the day of the small full solar term. ”

"Xiaoman's day? You are born with Xiaoman, so your name is Xiaoman, and that day is your birth......" He took the empty medicine bowl from Concubine De's hand, put it on the tray in the palace maid's hand, raised his head and glanced at Nanyang, his eyes showed some strangeness. During the princess's birth, he was a foreign minister in Yanshan, what did he go to join in?

"Uncle Ying didn't know about it." Nanyang hurriedly explained, "When he went to the East to play the strategy, wasn't he punished by his father?" You punished him for a few months, and you grounded him for twenty days. During that time, my daughter had some money and food in her hand, so she borrowed some from him, and when she heard that he had been punished, she feared that he would be afraid of disaster and disaster, so she went to comfort him a few words. When his grounding period expired, the day he came to thank his daughter happened to be the little full solar term. ”

That's what happened. Emperor Dongyuan nodded. He knew about Nanyang's borrowing from Shang Cheng. Not only Nanyang, but Changsha also borrowed a lot of money from Shangcheng. There's no way, who made there be so many places to spend money in the strategy of the Eastern Widows, and it was so urgent to ask for money? Even he, the son of heaven, gritted his teeth to squeeze out 700,000 yuan from the money and grain. Although the 700,000 yuan was not taken out all at once, but paid in four installments in a year, until now, he didn't know where to find the more than 100,000 or 200,000 yuan. He even had to seriously consider a question, if he really couldn't come up with money and food in the end, should he put on the prestige of the Son of Heaven and play a scoundrel...... While thinking about this serious question again, he glanced at Nanyang again with satisfaction. Nanyang could think that Shang Yanshan might be frightened after being punished, although he felt that this inference was a bit nonsense, and he could comfort him as a princess, which made him very happy.

He said: "Tian Dongli's daughter is a miscellaneous artist, what does she think of Shang Yanshan's explanation? ”

"Tian Xiu said that the nineteenth explanation of the county uncle should be credible." Nanyang said. When Tian Xiu took "Tianwen" and questioned Shang Cheng, she and Chen Pu were on the side, Tian Xiu asked, Shang Cheng replied, and the scriptures and classics could not be quoted, but each sentence could be deducted from one or two mythological stories or records in miscellaneous books, but there was no doubt. In the end, Tian Xiu could only close the book and say with emotion that if Shang Cheng could prepare and excerpt all the origins of these myths and stories in detail, it would be easy to write a book of "New Notes on Tianwen".

"That's right," Emperor Dongyuan's casual appearance seemed to be thinking of something temporarily, and finally brought the topic to the real purpose of his trip to Qiongfang Palace. "There is a person named Jiang Jun in the Ministry of Industry, who seems to have been picked up by Shang Zida when he was working in Yanshan. Have you ever met this person? ”

Nanyang nodded, a little inexplicable in his heart. She often walked around in Shangcheng's Zhuangzi, so naturally she had seen Jiang Tong. In fact, she widened the bridge and road outside the Zhuangzi facing the river, and built a large inn with stables and barns, which was initially guided by Jiang Tong. However, Jiang Tuan seems to be just an eight-grade petty official in the Ministry of Industry, and he didn't come for no reason, how could his father suddenly mention this person?

"I went out of the palace today, originally to inspect the people, but I didn't expect to meet Lu Qian halfway. Lu Qian, do you remember? ”

Nanyang nodded again. She'd heard of the man. This person went to Beijing ten years ago to take the Ministry of Rites exam, and when he was writing a policy theory, he accidentally wrote "Huang'en Hao Miao" on the exam paper, one by one, and the word "Hao" offended the name of the Son of Heaven. made such a big mistake, Lu Qian didn't have to think about anything, and the paper was eliminated by the examiner at that time. But this person's fate is good, his waste scroll was actually seen by Emperor Dongyuan, and I don't know what Emperor Dongyuan thought at the time, so he painted the word "Hao" and wrote the word "sue" next to it. If the Son of Heaven personally corrects the mistakes, then Lu Qian's examination paper cannot be a waste paper in any case; Not only is it not a waste paper, but this person must be admitted. Therefore, even if Lu Qian's strategy for taking the exam was unknown, and the poems he wrote were miserable, the examiner still pinched his nose and gave him a three-list Tongjinshi background. Afterwards, Lu Qian learned about this incident, and immediately cried bitterly, and since then Emperor Dongyuan has become his teacher, and one by one, "Yizi Shi" is also a teacher. Emperor Dongyuan also felt that Lu Qian was a good and generous person, and he was also relatively close to him. However, because Lu Qian's own knowledge is not enough, and he has no outstanding talents, although he has the care of Emperor Dongyuan, his career has also stumbled, and he is still only a langzhong in the household department.

She quickly recalled some of Lu Qian's thoughts, but she didn't say anything.

"Lu Qian introduced this Jiang Qian to me." Emperor Dongyuan said. In front of his daughter, he did not hide anything. "This Jiang Jun seems to be a little learned. But I don't understand what he said, and some of his ideas don't seem to be advisable. Moreover, I did not identify myself at the time, and he was a little wary of me, and some of his words were just general, very general and empty. Go back and see Tian Xiu, ask her and Lu Qian to talk to Jiang Jian again, and plan to give me a part. Speaking of this, he seemed to inadvertently glance at Nanyang and played "give it to me" one by one! Seeing Nanyang nodding slightly, a smile appeared on his face and said, "By the way, there was another person by Jiang Yan's side at that time, who was said to be Shang Yanshan's guest." Although this man is not good-looking, there is three points of truth in what he says. You let Tian Xiu and Lu Qian meet together. ”

"Yes. My daughter wrote it all down. ”

"Okay, there you go." Emperor Dongyuan said.

Nanyang fluted slightly. Father is going to drive her away? Could it be that my father wants to stay in Qiongfang Hall tonight? This hasn't happened in four or five years!

She didn't speak, lowered her head and saluted her father and mother, and then withdrew from the Xiang Pavilion.

She didn't need to go to Tian Xiu another day. When Tian Xiu was in Beijing, she always lived in her princess's mansion, and she can see her now when she goes home......
