Volume 2 The Wind and Clouds Between the Rivers Chapter 209 Young Aunt Xu Yan
Yan Chen saw Yan Xu's wearing a thin cotton jacket with ink silk, elegant and beautiful, knowing that she was thinking about things, she was very beautiful when she thought about things, but when she thought of her worries about the people and things in the courtyard, and even some things about marrying concubines, Yan Chen couldn't say guilt, some things he couldn't say to her, it was not that Yan Xu could speak well, but the arrangement was seamless and reasonable, but there was one thing, he still wanted to fight for it.
"Ma'am?" The banquet called: "Madame......"
"What!"
"Can we discuss the matter of Yansu again?" Yan Yan asked with some wistfulness.
Yan Xu put the water cup in his hand back on the table, touched the porcelain bottom wood, made a soft sound, and said with a surprised smile: "Official, do you think you said it?" ”
"This ......"
"This is not my aunt's boasting, Yan'er is not very old, and she can be said to be peerless, sinking fish and geese."
"Yes!"
"Minhui is unusually versatile, right?"
"Yes!"
"Even if you don't like poetry and songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, needlework and female red, swing and ball, everything can be regarded as being in the hall and out of the gatehouse, right?" The subset of history and all kinds of miscellaneous arts have been involved, and the painting is wonderful
"Get out!"
"Okay, even if you think that these poems and songs are not your martial arts style, it doesn't matter if you have it or not, but don't forget that my niece's eighteen martial arts don't talk about the plenum, but a fallen leaf sword thirty-six styles dancing in her hands is also decent, seemingly plain but full of energy, this seems to be your "sword appreciation" evaluation of her swordsmanship, right? ”
"That's right!"
"And what else do you want? Such a woman is your daughter-in-law, is it still a loss to Su'er? ”
"No loss!"
"She or did you watch her grow up? Is that a lie? Cheating on marriage? ”
Yan Yan gritted his teeth: "No! ”
"This time, Yan'er returned to Qixia Xue Palace, the name moved Jiangnan, even Emperor Lusong saw her subset of scriptures and histories to answer like a stream, humanistic allusions, hands to sticky, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military are full of praise, if it weren't for my Qixia Xu family and his Lusong royal family have Dazai sworn to worship, count my niece and Emperor Lusong of the same generation, Emperor Song ascended the throne not long ago, scruples about reputation, otherwise maybe it will be included in the harem."
There is nothing to say about the banquet, this Xu Yan entered the palace, the rumor is boiling, even Yanhu has heard a little, I heard that after Emperor Song ascended the throne, he recruited people from all over the world to enter the palace as the prince and the princess, and recruited talented women to enter the palace as the princess's young master, Qixia School Palace actually signed up for Xu Yan, and successfully became the "young master" of the princesses. Afterwards, I heard that Emperor Song intended to hire her as the crown princess, but Xu Yan told Qixia Taizu Xu Shou and Dazai Zeng in court, and counted the generations of Emperor Song, and found that she was the same generation as Emperor Song, and Emperor Song was dumb for a while, so she had to be recognized as a righteous sister, named "Young Aunt", given a palace card, and allowed her to move around in the palace at will.
Yan Xu's clear eyes contained worry, and he sighed softly
"Do you believe in the Xuanhuang technique?" Because she promised to kiss, and I am afraid that I will miss the lintel of your banquet? ”
Yan Chen hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no!" None of this is a thing. ”
Yan Yan forehead sweat, the winter is difficult to contain, this Xu Yan is the daughter of the Xu family in Qixia, his father is the elder brother of the Xu family, Xu Nong, a learned man, upright, conscientious, only in the Ministry of Rites in the court hung a squire false title, all his life in the palace teaching, in his later years, a daughter, dignified personality, pretty appearance, not only the needle is skillful, but also very familiar with literature and ink, poetry and songs, dancing swords and pianos, everything is fine, but only one woman, it is insufficient.
This woman is Xu Yan, the ancestor of the Xu family of Qixia Xu Shou stayed in Jinling that year, and the Yun Xue family split up, the two parties are different from each other, cut off contacts for decades, this year Lu Song gradually and Jing Xiang's Zhong Xuan, Xiliang and other countries are good, the two families are interconnected, Qixia Xu family these years of operation, prestige allusion has, according to the ancient system, Qi Xia is enough to open the ancestral hall, the Yun Xue family according to the ancient system to Qixia Xu family sealed the Hou of Yi, allowed to open the Qi Xia Hall, Mrs. Xu Nong burns incense in the ancestral hall every day and makes a wish, actually conceived a daughter, Although Xu Nong and his wife only gave birth to a daughter, they thought that it was the blessing of their ancestors, so they were called Yan.
Qixia has several generations of single transmission, just opened the hall number, but suffers from no heirs, it is really annoying, fortunately, although the Xu family of Qixia reads Confucianism, but it is not pedantic, Qixia School Palace has also been famous for the new school of teaching, so I thought about recruiting a prince to Xu Yan, because it is to recruit a son of the Xu family, so I started to think early, I was going to recruit a child surnamed Xu into the family, so that the name can be changed to continue the ancestral hall of the Xu family, but the heirs of the Yun family are also relatively thin, and there are a few families and the Xu family of Qixia have not come out of the five suits, I had to set the goal to move to Pengcheng Xu family five hundred years ago, for this Xu Yan lived in Yanhu City with his mother at the age of five or six, which is close to Pengcheng, after looking for a few distant relatives to see, it was easy to choose one, and then I don't know why it was yellow, some people said that Lu Song and Pengcheng Xu family relationship is not admired, the emperor does not allow the two families to be close, and some people say that the children of the Xu family who look at each other, after the picture all of them are sick and die, there are different opinions.
Anyway, the Xu family of Qixia no longer looks at the children of the Xu family, but other families are willing to join the family, a few years ago, Xu Nong planned to recruit the son of Taiyi Ning Zaihang as a son-in-law. Therefore, the marriage, one is the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Doctor, in line with the conditions of the right household, and the second is that the Ning family still has uncles and nephews, and the Ning Imperial Physician does not care about the only son, after the two elders discussed the agreement, even if it was agreed, Xu Nong sent a letter to their mother and daughter, asking them to go back to the process, but unfortunately Xu Yan's boat has not yet left Weishan Lake, and the news of the death of the emperor came, and the Ning Imperial Physician was responsible as the imperial physician on duty, and the family was exiled, and soon the news came that his son died of illness on the way to exile, and the matter had to be stopped, but this family matter actually does not count, Because there is neither a name nor a lottery, nor a six-salute three-end. But it also added a heavy stroke to Xu Kefu.
Xu Yan can recite poems at the age of three, and 300 Tang poems; At the age of seven, he can play the piano, and he can play the Jiangnan with a rhyme; Riding on a ten-year-old horse, chanting a thousand piles of snow; Twelve learn to play the kite, dance the sword and wear silver armor. There is also the appearance of a sinking fish and a wild goose, the appearance of a shy flower in the closed moon, and the reputation is outside, and there are still very many people who want to get rich
Many. So last year, the mother and daughter returned to Jinling, it can be said that the threshold of the family has been broken, so Xu Yan went to apply for the princess and young master, succeeded in one fell swoop, entered the palace to escape the world, and completely handed over the choice of her husband's family to her parents. I didn't think that soon the palace came to Song Huang and fell in love with Xu Yan, and all of a sudden the people who asked for relatives did not dare to come to the door, and the original family began to accept the lottery, and they did not dare to go further.
As a result, the matter was delayed again. After the key matter, Lu Song Shilin was afraid of the royal authority, and there were very few people who came to ask for relatives, this banquet Xu came to the idea, such a niece, it is really excellent, in this case, why should Feishui be an outsider, it is better to let his son Yan Su enter the Xu family, one to marry a baby daughter-in-law, and the other to cut off the idea of Yan Su passing on the throne to Yan Su, so as not to be jealous of Yan Meng his brother.
If it is replaced by any son, Yan Yan will not refuse, even if it is Yan Su, Yan Yan is willing to let him marry Xu Yan, Xu Yan has basically lived in Yan Lake all these years, it can be said that he grew up under his nose, all the rumors outside are not exaggerated, if he didn't watch her grow up with his own eyes, Yan Yan probably can't believe that there are such wonderful women in this world, although Yan Su is weak, but if Xu Yan is with him, it is the best choice to inherit Yan Lake.
But Yan Xu's opinion is redundant, and he can't accept it.
"The age difference between them is too big, Yan'er is only twelve years old, Su'er is eighteen, you forgot that you came to Yanhu and gave me the first phoenix decree that a woman can marry and get pregnant at seventeen, and the offender is guilty of the crime and the three clans, do you want to make a notice?"
"Don't you have a waiter in Yanhu?" Yan Xu retorted unhurriedly: "Don't worry, I will keep an eye on Su'er and Yan'er, and I won't let your Yan family be ashamed." "The three clans are the fathers, the parents of both men and women, once they get married before the age of 17, or the maid woman is pregnant under the age of 17, they will send an "early heir list", which is called "congratulations to a certain family and a certain family for having an heir early, in fact, the family on the list will be laughed at by others.
"I, I'm not worried." The Xu family's tutor at this banquet is quite strict, except for the six girls who once made a fuss, the other children are all well-behaved. "It's just that Yan Su is old after all, and this man is ...... old."
"Don't worry, I know your men's stinky virtues, I won't lose Su'er's, find him a few girls, as long as he is satisfied, you can be satisfied, and if you are seventeen, you can also add Ding to your banquet family, I have discussed it with my brother, as long as the male surname of Ju'er is Xu."
"Huh!" Yan Chen is completely exhausted, this is a completely unequal debate competition, Yan Chen listened to Yan Xu's thoughts in the morning, thought about it for a long time, and finally had a few ideas, which were blocked to death, and there was no way to use them at all: "No, I don't agree, Su Er finally returned from Qixia's studies, I was planning to experience him, how can you do this!" Yan Yan sat on the stool and knocked on the sandalwood table involuntarily.
"Why, you still dare to knock on the table with me?"
"Don't dare, don't dare!" Yan Yan immediately laughed, and what his wife did was completely for the sake of harmony within the Yan family, which made him embarrassed.
"I know what you're thinking, I just want to cut off your thoughts, how good Meng'er is, although it's a little
Personality, that is also caused by me marrying in, let Su Er enter the Xu family early, and he will be open-minded, but when it is time for your Yan family to have a prince, a countryman, one in Yanhu and one in Jinling, watch and help each other, isn't it good? ”
The feast was like a fish in the throat, and he couldn't speak.
"In the past, even if I made a plan, it was you who made the decision, the concubine was in charge of this matter, so I did it, in a few days, Su'er will take Yan'er back to Yanhu Lake, during the winter festival, you must announce the news in public, otherwise, I will take Su'er and Yan'er back to Jinling, when will you make Meng'er the son, when will I come back."
"Hey!" The feast is "qi", and I don't know which prince or emperor can enjoy this kind of "qi".
Yan Xu was relieved: "A hundred years of dynasty, a thousand years of family. Although Yanhu has been established for 300 years, how difficult it is, you and I have worked together to have this situation, the concubine does not want to be Wu Jiang, and advises you not to be Liu Che. ”
Wu Jiang is the Duchess of Zheng Wu in the Spring and Autumn Period, and has two sons: the eldest son Kou Sheng and the younger son Shu Duan. Because Kou Sheng was born from dystocia, and Shu Duan was born from natural birth, Wu Jiang didn't like Kou Sheng, but pampered and liked Shu Duan. and repeatedly asked Zheng Wugong's uncle Duan to be the crown prince, but Zheng Wugong did not agree. When Zheng Wugong was seriously ill, Wu Jiang asked for Gongshu Duan to be made the crown prince, but Zheng Wugong still did not agree.
Zheng Wugong died, and Kou Sheng ascended the throne as Zheng Zhuang Gong. After the Duke of Zheng Zhuang ascended the throne, Wu Jiang requested that Jingyi, which was larger than the capital of Zheng Guo, be given to Shu Duan. After Shu Duan was sealed, he actively expanded his power and mastered nearly half of Zheng State.
Shu Duan and his mother Wu Jiangli should cooperate with the outside world and plot to launch a rebellion. When Zheng Zhuanggong learned of Shuduan's rebellion in advance, he sent troops to attack Gongshu Duan, and Shuduan fled to Gongdi. Zheng Zhuanggong placed his mother Wu Jiang in Chengying, and swore that he would not see each other until Huangquan. More than a year later, Zheng Zhuanggong began to miss his mother Wu Jiang, but he was unwilling to break his oath, so at the suggestion of Yinggu official Yingkao Shu, Zheng Zhuanggong dug a tunnel to meet his mother Wu Jiang, so the normal mother-son relationship was restored. This is also the origin of "meeting in the yellow spring".
Liu Cheji is Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Gongsun Jingsheng, the son of Prime Minister Gongsun He of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in his later years, was accused of witch curse Emperor Wu, adultery with Princess Yangshi, Gongsun He's father and son were imprisoned and died, Princess Zhuyi and Princess Yangshi, and Hou Wei of Changping, the son of Wei Qing, were all sentenced. Emperor Wu's favored minister Jiang Chong was ordered to investigate the witch Gu case, and used torture and framing to force people to confess, and the ministers and the people were frightened and arbitrarily accused others of crimes, and tens of thousands of people died as a result.
Jiang Chong and the crown prince Liu had a gap, so he took the opportunity to frame the prince, and with the case Hou Han Shuo, the eunuch Su Wen and other four people framed the prince, the prince was afraid, raised troops to kill Jiang Chong, and was later suppressed by Emperor Wu and defeated, the queen Wei Zifu and the prince Liu Ju committed suicide one after another. Huguan Sanlao and Tian Qianqiu and others wrote a letter to sue the prince for injustice, and Emperor Wu, who finally came to his senses, Yijiang Chong and the three clans, burned Su Wen to death. He also built a "thinking palace" and made a "platform for returning to look at thoughts" at the place where the prince was killed, in order to mourn. Hundreds of thousands of people were implicated in this incident, and it is known as the scourge of witchcraft.
Although this disaster was not caused by inheritance, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not believe in the performance of his eldest son Liu Ju, and caused the disaster of witchcraft to be out of control. It was really his failure as the emperor.
Yan Xu said these two people, Yan
Chen understands that his wife does not do things that spoil the young and hate the elders, even if the eldest son is not her own son, she also advises him to believe that the eldest son Yanmeng can manage Yanhu Lake well, and not to do anything to abolish the elders and make Yanhu turbulent.
Yan Chen grabbed Yan Xu's hand and sighed, "I have wronged you." ”
Yan Xu's eyes were on the side, and he glanced at Yan Chen lightly, and seemed to be a little dissatisfied with this: "What is the concubine wronged, this was originally Meng'er's, he has really been wronged in the past ten years, and the officials treat him better." ”
"I know for my husband." After speaking, he hugged Yan Xu into his arms and hugged each other tightly.
Where did Chi Qiu think that it only took Yan Yan and his wife a minute to classify him as a secret agent, and it turned out that he didn't want to be involved with Yan Yu'er, which did make some sense.
The princes of the river have been fighting each other for hundreds of years, the situation of the enemy and me is clear, and the people who survive here are also very vigilant, Chi Qiu This person has been here for less than two months, and he is still a master of the hazy realm, wandering the market, but he has a close relationship with the small county lord, without knowing it, it is rumored that he is the aunt of Yanhu? If he said that he had no purpose, he was afraid that Chi Qiu himself would not believe it, although he really had no purpose.
After the Shangdao serial murder incident and the Chen family annihilation incident in the north of the city were played, it still triggered a series of chain reactions, especially Ding Feiyan and Yan Su'er had arrived at the city gate and called for help on the city wall, and the patrol battalion on the city wall could not distinguish the authenticity, plus after the Yanhu system was closed, the patrol battalion was strictly forbidden to open the city gate, and it was strictly forbidden for soldiers to leave the city. The ecstasy scholar was able to kidnap the little county lord and Ding Feiyan under the noses of the soldiers, and almost something big happened.
Yan Dong, who was in charge of guarding the city gate, was severely reprimanded, although he was also a little wronged, but the little county lord who made the city lord feel the most distressed was captured by the gangsters, and it seems that it is not difficult to understand that he was recorded as a major demerit. However, this also reflects the military and political structure of the small country and widows in Yanhu before, after Yanhu City expanded from the princes of the small city to the princes of the city, there were many unsuitables, and the whole night, the outside of the city became a paradise for the wicked and gangsters.
The detailed report shows that Chi Qiu killed the eight horsemen of the Knights of the Queshan Order, which made Yan Chen and Yan Xu full of interest in him, although it is not enough to change Yan Su'er to marry Er Zhuying, but a rising star with high skills will always attract the attention of the princes who are eager to seek talent, so the information of Chi Qiu is on the desk, not that people are called in for interrogation.
Li Yuan got the city director's warrant, the patrol battalion detachment outside the city, this is an introduction, although most of the social activities are now in the outer city, but the outside of the city has obviously become a major issue that needs to be considered for public security, which is like the management of the urban-rural junction.
Chi Qiu rode a horse for ten miles east, passing through the peach forest and the old town to the foot of Peach Blossom Mountain. In the cold winter, the fields are barren, and it is estimated that there will be many crops basking in the sun under the big trees on both sides of the road. But now most of the people are gathered outside the cordon of the Chen family manor, not only for leisure chatting, but also to gossip, the door of the Chen family manor is open, Chi Qiu thought about it, or go to the material brother manor to report a letter first.
The gate of Brother Cai's manor was closed, and the villagers in the garden looked abrupt, after all, there was such a bloody case in the nearby manor, and they were also a little noisy
Phew. Brother Cai didn't get up from a nap. Lao Yang entertained Chi Qiu to drink tea in a Ming hall and sit and wait.
Chi Qiu was able to make a move at a time of crisis, how could it be a chivalrous move in the rivers and lakes, Lao Yang's attitude towards him was much gentler, and he said, "What are you doing here this time?" ”
"Help someone pass a message to Brother Cai, it seems that I want to make an appointment."
Lao Yang nodded and stopped talking, although he knew that no matter who it was, whatever Brother Cai did, Brother Cai would not hide it from him, but if he asked first, it would not be in line with the rules.
"How did the two girls happen yesterday?" This is his savior, and Chi Qiu must express it.
"The situation is not very good, I didn't sleep all night last night, and I was clamoring to go to the Chen family manor at dawn, and several maids couldn't stop them, so I still moved Zhuang Ding to put them back, I really couldn't do it, I put some smoke, and then I went to sleep."
"Ah, smoke? You won't. "The people of this mercenary group are really unscrupulous, and this method is also used.
Lao Yang's face fell: "How come, although we walk the rivers and lakes, we also have morality, we are two suffering female dolls, I just want them to sleep, those eyes are bloodshot, and if we don't sleep, I'm afraid that something will go wrong." ”
"I'm sorry for you." Chi Qiu thought that it was his idea to send the two female babies over, and he felt ashamed: "I've caused you trouble." ”
Lao Yang shook his head and sighed, this trouble is not something that anyone wants to take, after all, it looks uncomfortable.
"Who are they?"
"According to some neighbors, the older girl is eight years old, named Fang'er, the daughter of the Chen family, and the other is that they saw it on the side of the road in the Chen family, and they had a dog at the time, so they kindly took her and didn't say her name, because she was wearing red clothes when she was picked up, so they called her Xiaohong."
According to neighbors? Presumably, these two girls haven't said anything to the people of Brother Cai's Manor, and Lao Yang can only find out some news from his neighbors.
