Chapter Eighty-Four: Spring Dawn
For these poems written by Xiao Zheng, there is no need to think that these poems will soon circulate after the banquet, and they will definitely become famous.
As for those clichΓ©s that have become stepping stones, no one pays attention to them anymore, but they want to stir up Liu Siyuan but become a figure that people talk about, every time they read these poems, everyone will mention this guy a few words, but it is definitely not a good thing, and this guy is half angry to death, and he will be seriously ill when he goes home.
The happiest should be the Ba family, at least through these banquets, the old lady Ba also figured out Xiao Zheng's attitude towards her family and even the court towards the merchants in Shuzhong, and the shrewd old lady can even vaguely guess the attitude of Li Shimin, who has not been on the throne for a few years, towards his Ba family.
As soon as the Yuan Day passed, it was the Shangyuan Festival, during which Xiao Zheng took a group of officials to eat and drink for themselves, and everyone worked on the festival to look like a picture, and everyone knew it in their hearts.
The marriage between Ruoyi and Ba Wan'er must have been lost, and the relationship between the two quickly warmed up, Xiao Zheng disappeared from time to time, and there was no need to guess that the two of them were tired of finding a place again.
But there is no feast in the world that will never be dissolved.
On the wharf by the Chengdu River, three big boats lined up and leaned on the shore, not far away, a pair of men and women are under the plum tree, the woman is like a jade, the man is like a dragon, and the pedestrians can't help but praise in their hearts when they see it.
The two of them didn't care about the eyes of pedestrians at all, and they were still talking like you and me, and the two of them were Ruoyi and Ba Wan'er.
"You can't lose the horse I gave you, or I'll ignore you."
"Don't worry, I won't lose my life without me."
"Phew! Crow's beak! β
"After you go back, don't attract any more indiscriminate women, otherwise I won't be able to spare you."
"I'm ......, I'm that kind of person!" Gong Yi muttered back.
"I don't care, anyway, if you find another woman, I'll ......," Ba Wan'er said with a blushing face.
"Okay, I'll send someone over to marry you when I return to Chang'an."
When the two were in love, a very discordant shout suddenly came from the boat: "Are you two finished?" I won't come up to drive the boat again, and I want to stay in the cave room after I want to talk, or you can bring your wife up and elope, and you won't come up to drive the boat again! β
Listening to the voice, you can tell that it was Lord Xiao who was waiting impatiently and shouted.
Seeing that a group of people were coaxing on the boat, Ba Wan'er stomped her feet angrily and opened her mouth to say something, but she didn't say it.
"I have to go, if you look for me in the future, I will follow your uncle to Hangzhou, and letters will do."
Gong Ruoyi glanced at Ba Wan'er again, turned around and walked towards the boat.
With tears in her eyes, Ba Wan'er watched him get on the boat.
Seeing the look on this guy's face that he was willing to get on the boat, several children were eating and laughing.
"I thought you were stuck by your own wife, why don't you come to the door upside down and get in today, so fast" Ji Chun said to Gong Ruoyi with a smile.
"He's going to be stuck sooner or later, what kind of heart do you have to," Xiao Zheng said with a smile.
Ji Chun's fingers moved, and he said to Xiao Zheng viciously: "If the old man hadn't seen that you had an official life, he would have thrown you into the Yangtze River and fed Jiao."
Turning his head to Zheng Xuanli, he said angrily: "Open the boat!" βγ
Along the river down the river is much faster than when it came, there is nothing to say on the road, and it is the middle of February when I wait for Hangzhou, walking on the official road, many rice fields on both sides of the road have begun to pull oxen to plow the fields, and the mulberry forest and rice fields are connected to the horizon as far as the eye can see.
Seeing Xu Jingzong and Wu Shitong, the two of them talked about the recent situation, and Xiao Zheng praised the official business handled by the two of them. Especially Xu Jingzong, after reading the approval documents he handled, even the old fritters of officialdom like Wushi Tong admired it.
After finishing the business, Xu Jingzong took out a letter of approval and said: "This is the sage's reply to the sage's reply to the scientific expedition you held in the land of Sannan a few years ago, and this is a major event decided by all the official documents."
It turned out that Xiao Zheng wrote a special chapter for Li Shimin to open a scientific examination in Jiangnan next year after the winter last year, and he ran out to avoid trouble because of this scientific examination.
When I opened the movement, I saw that there was only a big "quasi" written on it, and nothing else was written.
Looking at the handwriting, it must be written by Li Shimin.
What kind of fucking approval is this? You can reply to the charter, even if you shout two slogans, Lao Tzu knows what you think about being the emperor, just this one word, what do you let Lao Tzu do?
Looking at Li Shimin's reply, Xiao Zheng was stunned for a while and did not ease up.
"Although my lord has been away from the capital for nearly three years, my lord's family is still undiminished, congratulations!" Xu Jingzong suddenly spoke.
"Huh? How so? β
"If the sage gave a detailed reply to the imperial examination, he was worried that you would not be able to do it, and now the approval of one word shows that you have great trust in you, and it is completely for you to let go and do it."
Sure enough, it is a famous thousand-year-old fox in history, in a word!
"Haven't you heard that the fewer the words, the bigger the matter?" Xiao Zheng said playfully.
"I really haven't heard of this lower official, but Lord Xu explained the past of the duel like this, and the lower official also thinks so," Wu Shi Tong also echoed.
"Okay, let's prepare for the scientific expedition, this matter is a national affair of my Jiangnan and Datang, and there must be no mistakes! Otherwise, you and I won't be able to bear this responsibility."
"No!" The two got up and saluted Xiao Zheng, and replied excitedly.
Before the two of them went out, there was a fast horse newspaper from Chang'an, saying that the envoy from Beijing would arrive in Hangzhou tomorrow, and asked a few adults to prepare to greet them.
"Who? Is it so mysterious? Why doesn't anyone know on the road? βγ
The urgency of this letter was also a little sudden, and the three of them looked at me for a while, and I saw that you were stunned.
"Whatever, we'll talk about it when we meet tomorrow."
The next morning, Xiao Zheng put on his official uniform and took the officials to the Hangzhou wharf, and after waiting for half an hour, he saw five big boats sailing along the canal from a distance.
Someone on the ship may have seen a group of officials on the dock, and then a flag symbolizing status was displayed on the flagpole at the bow of the ship.
The officials are not small, what kind of song can Li Shimin sing?
When I was guessing who it was, the boat had already docked, and the gangplank was set, and a military general with two columns of soldiers lined up on the dock first.
Xiao Zheng was stunned when he saw the leader of the team, it turned out to be Xue Rengui!
I haven't seen this guy for more than two years, Xue Rengui has become a lot stronger, and there is a little more calmness on his face in his gestures, Xue Rengui's face is very excited after seeing Xiao Zheng, and he walked over and saluted Xiao Zheng and said: "Xia Guan has seen Xiao Gong, and I forgive you for not being able to see the king's order."
"Later, when you talk about the past, you tell me which way of the fairy you came from."
Xue Rengui didn't speak, he pointed to the leading boat and waited, and said, "You know everything, my lord!" βγ
The two had not spoken a few words when the hatch of the big ship was opened.
Looking at the three officials who walked down from the boat, they all knew each other, but Xiao Zheng's mouth was bitter.
