Chapter 11 The Tang Dynasty Confucianism
Holding a bowl of rice, Yaya was burying her head in picking rice. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Mo Fei chewed the food in her mouth while holding vegetables for her.
Manager Tao next to him watched the two gobble up, his Adam's apple rolled up and down, and he kept swallowing saliva. Is this meal so delicious? What made Mr. Tao even more puzzled was that the two swept away the vegetarian dishes on the table, and even the soup was mixed with rice, but none of the meat dishes were moved.
"Uh....... The master instructed me to entertain the two of you, and if you two think that this meat dish is not appetizing, I will ask the kitchen to make a few more. ”
"No, you don't." He stopped the chopsticks in his hand and swallowed the food in his mouth. "The two of us don't eat meat, these dishes will do."
Don't eat meat? Hey ......, it's really interesting, it looks like the poor can't even afford to eat, and they still pick fat and thin? Mr. Tao slandered in his heart, but he never dared to say that.
If it weren't just a simple medical skill, then Manager Tao wouldn't be so flattering. But now he is Ye Chen's life-saving benefactor, how can the Confucian Ye family not take this kindness to heart? How could he, as a servant, be so easily neglected?
"The master asked me to prepare two guest rooms, and I will bring them over in a moment."
Mo Fei didn't raise his head, and he ate very attentively: "No need, just the two of us in one room." ”
"One?" When Mr. Tao heard this, he looked at Mo Fei in confusion, and then patted his head. "Ao ......, I see! You see, I'm confused. As he spoke, he winked at Mo Fei viciously.
After a full meal, Mr. Tao took the two to the guest room, where clothes and hot water were readily available. The girl, who has always been silent and expressionless, finally showed her joy and satisfaction at this moment.
The bangs of the time were knocked over, and the waning moon climbed up the tree, with a hint of coldness, reflected on the window lattice.
"Xianggong, have you slept?"
"Nope." Could it be that he heard the maid call him, and in the dark, his slightly narrowed eyes suddenly opened.
The girl rubbed her head on the pillow and said with a hint of uncertainty, "Are we in trouble?" ”
Could it be that he didn't answer, even the maid, who had always been lazy to think, was a little tired of Ye Chen's poisoning, how could he not realize it? After a long time, he muttered in a low voice, "We're going to get in trouble." ”
"Hmm."
Yaya seemed to just ask casually, and didn't care, and stopped talking after getting a definite answer. Mo Fei blinked in the dark, pursed his lips and smiled: "We are staying in someone else's house tonight, you can't wet the bed anymore." ”
"Hmm! Probably not. I only drank half a glass of water when I ate just now. After speaking, the maid asked abruptly, "Can we still eat such a meal in the future?" ”
"From now on, we will have food every day. Well......, if you like to eat, I will take you to eat Chang'an's snacks when I have the chance, which is a very famous snack. For example, the meat sandwich bun, the forehead ...... But we don't eat meat, so we won't go here. We went to eat rolling dough, and there seemed to be a one called pimple soup, but it was too long and it might not be called that. I remember my sister taking me to eat before. Later......"
Mo Fei was babbling, and suddenly heard Yaya's faint gasp, he glanced at Yaya, and then continued to whisper: "Later...... I'll go to the Western Wilderness. ”
After saying this, Mo Fei turned over and fell asleep. And in the dark night, Yaya's eyes suddenly opened, and she blinked at the moonlight on the window lattice.
Yefu Courtyard.
Moonlight poured down.
"How's it going?"
Chief Tao stood behind Ye Jingquan, bent down slightly and said, "It's all done, as long as there is a movement in those fine works, we can know who poisoned the young master." ”
Ye Jingquan stood with his hands in his hands, looked at the waning moon, and said, "What about the two of them?" ”
"They're all asleep." After Chief Tao finished speaking, he hesitated for a moment and said, "Master, should we also send someone to monitor them?" ”
Ye Jingquan was silent for a moment and said, "Don't want it for the time being." …… Although the two are young, they are old and spicy. Observe for a while, if they are not involved with the Leng family and the royal family, they can take it for their own use. ”
"Yes."
"How long will it take for the old lady to arrive?"
"It's about a quarter of an hour." After Mr. Tao finished speaking, he glanced at Ye Jingquan's back and added: "The old lady's room has been cleaned up, please rest assured." ”
"Hmm. You send someone to inform the third brother, and I'll go to the gate of the mansion and wait." ”
After Ye Jingquan finished speaking, he rushed towards the gate of the mansion.
Not long after going out of the courtyard, he heard footsteps in front of him, and Ye Jingquan frowned. In the distance, the two of them walked slowly in the darkness.
One of them, on crutches and wearing a white cloak, had gray hair but a ruddy complexion, and his amiable face shone with wise eyes. This person is Ye Gongshu, the old lady of Ye Mansion.
When it comes to Ye Gongshu, what people talk about is his life deeds. Five hundred years ago, starting from the establishment of the three kingdoms of Qin, Han and Tang, Zhongzhou entered a long period of peace. Celebrities led by Confucianism opened a prosperous era of literature and Taoism for Zhongzhou. Five hundred years later, the Han Dynasty led the trend, and Confucian sages emerged one after another to establish academies. The Qin Dynasty followed closely behind, with cultural innovations. Only the Tang Dynasty was not prosperous.
Ye Gongshu, the old lady of the Ye family, was born in a family of merchants, as the only son of the Ye family, but he has no intention of business. Devoted to poetry and articles. However, his talent was extremely poor, he scattered his family's money, participated in the imperial examination several times, but never won the first place.
When he was nearly 30 years old and his future was bleak, his family suffered an accident, and his parents died of illness one after another. Since then, Mrs. Ye has been in a slump and burned thousands of books in her home. However, it was this catastrophe that made him have an epiphany in an instant. The books he read and the poems he memorized in his mind were constantly churning and deriving, and he once realized the true meaning of literature.
coincided with the meeting of the world, and Ye Gongshu became famous. In the next few decades, he became the emperor of the Tang Dynasty and ran the Canghai Academy, and gradually became one of the four great Confucian sages in Zhongzhou.
It was at that time that the Ye family rose and became the only big family in the Tang Dynasty that was only the royal and Leng families.
The other person next to Ye Gongshu, the old man with sparse gray hair and a thin body was Tao Gufu, the father of Tao Steward.
Although Ye Jingquan is the prime minister of the dynasty, when he saw these two people, he didn't have any usual majesty, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Dad, Uncle Tao, why did you come back so early?" ”
"How is the courtier?"
"It's okay for the time being, you can rest assured."
After Ye Gongshu listened, he continued to walk forward on crutches, and said as he walked, "What did Imperial Doctor Dong say?" ”
"It's nothing big for the time being, but Chen'er's illness is not treated by Mrs. Dong."
Ye Gongshu suddenly stood still and looked at him suspiciously. "Oh? Who's that? ”
Ye Jingquan said: "It's a teenager named Mo Fei." ”
"Could it be?" When Ye Gongshu heard this, he didn't think about it, but just warned: "Next month, the Tang Dynasty Cultural Conference will start." Talented people from all over the world poured into Chang'an, and the fish and dragons were mixed. In addition to paying attention to the affairs of the court, you should not take the affairs of the government lightly. ”
"Yes."
After Ye Gongshu finished speaking, he walked forward, but his flickering eyes revealed an intriguing meaning.
