Chapter Thirty-Seven: Reading Lang

The summer of the third year of Qingli is a little hotter than ever. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

At the time of the Dragon Boat Festival, it was already scorching and sweaty, and in the era when there was no air conditioning and electric fans, the people of the Great Song Dynasty could only rely on folding fans, bathing and other handful of ways to enjoy the coolness.

The homes of the noble and wealthy are better, you can use ice to cool down, whether it is to eat ice drinks or ice cubes to cool down, it can be more comfortable.

In fact, these can be enjoyed by ordinary people, at least in previous years, but because Bianliang in Tokyo was unusually warm last year, there was very little ice.

This year, the weather was so hot that most of the merchants who relied on ice sales started selling in advance and were sold out early.

Now in Bianliang City, in addition to the royal nobles, there is no ice on the market in the homes of noble and high-ranking officials.

However, there is one place that is an exception, that is, Liu's shop near Zhouqiao, "Guozi Liu" is now very famous in Bianliang City, because of the ice.

He was released, because of Xue Zong, the first thing Bao Zheng did when he entered Kaifeng Mansion was to try the Jinmingchi fire case, and the wronged were released one after another, the first one was Guozi Liu.

After coming back to recuperate for a few days, Guozi Liu immediately started to get busy with business. After learning the ins and outs, he didn't have any complaints about Xue Zong, after all, there was an accident, and Xue Zong himself was seriously injured, and he didn't know it.

Business still has to be done, making money is one thing, and Guozi Liu sees hope in Xue Zong. The talented man at the top of the list in the Simen Pavilion also got the official position of Chengfeng Lang at a young age, and he entered the public gate and became an official in the court.

Not to mention anything else, just say that Xue Zong had a very happy conversation with Lord Yin in Kaifeng Mansion, which was what he saw with his own eyes.

His family will follow him, and he will have little benefit in the future, and he has no hope when he is old, but his son is the same age as Xue Zong, and he will definitely have great benefits in the future.

Because he wants to enter school and has an official status, it is naturally inconvenient for Xue Zong to come forward in business matters, and he has to take care of it more.

Fruit Liu was naturally duty-bound, and the large pieces of ice were sent over, and they were quickly sold out, and there was even a long queue at the door. Such a hot scene made many people curious, where did the Xue family get so many ice cubes from?

"It's really strange, it is absolutely impossible to store ice, and now in Tokyo, even the palace may not have such a thick ice cube, could it be that it is frozen?"

"How is it possible, on a hot summer day, how can the water freeze and freeze? Unless there is a fairy means. ”

"Mahan, it's not right for you to say that, the truth is right in front of you!"

"Bao Gong, what do you think?"

On the bank of the Bianhe River, a dark-skinned middle-aged man smiled slightly, it was Yin Baozheng, the new Kaifeng Mansion who was visiting in civilian clothes.

"Maybe that boy did have the means to condense water into ice!" Bao Zheng said softly, with a little contemplation in his eyes.

"The young man who stopped Bao Gong in front of Kaifeng Mansion that day, he has such great ability?"

"Yes, it's him!" Bao Zheng said: "Dynasty, Ma Han, you may not know that in recent months, a lot of new things have appeared in Tokyo City, all of which are related to the boy named Xue Zong. ”

"Oh, I only know that he is a student of the Four Gate Pavilion, but I didn't expect him to have so many strange ......" The man of the famous dynasty smiled, and his eyes were a little more curious when he looked at the Liu family's shop.

Bao Zheng said: "You have just arrived in Tokyo like this official, and many things are not yet familiar, but in the future, you will ...... This official presides over Kaifeng Mansion, and you must see and listen to all directions. ”

"Yes!" One left and one right, the two servants nodded immediately.

After a moment of silence, Ma Han said softly: "Bao Gong, if you release all the people related to Jinming Pond, will this be ......?"

"It's all unrelated people, so what if you continue to detain them?" Bao Zheng obviously disagreed.

Ma Han said: "But our current investigation has made no progress, your new official has taken office, and all parties are staring at it, if it is ......"

"Don't worry, this matter... The court will have its own judgments. ”

Bao Zheng seemed to be full of confidence in this, and when Wang Chao and Ma Han saw this, they didn't want to say anything.

……

Sure enough, the imperial court's holy decree was soon issued, and there was a clear conclusion on this matter - the Yizhou rebel did it.

It was a coincidence that Wang Lun, the Yizhou Tiger Yi pawn, rebelled, and the disturbance was a bit big, so this shocking case of assassinating the emperor fell on his head.

The Privy Council immediately issued an order to transfer troops, and the army of Jingdong Road was immediately mobilized, and the garrisons of Qizhou and Zizhou, as well as the Pinglu Jiedu envoy Guo Zhonghe and his men, went to quell the rebellion.

It's just a small rebellion, and there will be such a situation every three or five years in the Great Song Dynasty, as long as the army is mobilized, it will soon end and return to stability.

So in the city of Tokyo, no one takes it seriously and still celebrates the Dragon Boat Festival happily.

Hanging wormwood, wrapping zongzi, dragon boat races are also available, in previous years it was originally in Jinmingchi, but in addition to the things of the previous days, it was changed to Tieta Lake.

Many people in Tokyo secretly guessed that maybe the royal family would not open Jinmingchi again in the future, but no one expected that Emperor Zhao Zhen was extraordinarily generous.

From now on, not only the day of the naval academy, but also from March to the bright spring in early April, Jinmingchi is open to welcome guests for the people to play in spring.

As soon as the news came out, Emperor Zhao Zhen immediately won a wave of praise.

……

"Jin Mingchi, don't go back in the future." At the Dragon Boat Festival family banquet, Xue Mengshi couldn't help but have broken thoughts.

Although she made a lot of money in Jin Mingchi this time and became famous, her grandson's life was in danger, and Guozi Liu's imprisonment made her feel palpitations.

"Okay, we won't be going in the future." Xue Zong nodded in agreement, and said with a smile: "Come, grandmother, try the zongzi made by your grandson." ”

"Brother Zong, I want it too!" Yun'er, who was already full of food, reached out to beg for it, like a snack.

Xue Mengshi glanced at his grandchildren dotingly, and said with a smile: "Zong'er, you don't have to do these cooking things yourself in the future." ”

It is an inherent concept of this era that a gentleman cooks far away, especially Xue Zong is now an official, so the old grandmother is quite concerned about this.

"Grandmother, it's okay at home."

"Brother Zong, Aunt Xue is right, this time is different from the past, you will say the law in the future, and we will do the specific things in the kitchen." The neighbors who were familiar with each other in Wuliu Lane gathered together, and several aunts persuaded them one after another.

It seems that since he has won the official position of Chengfeng Lang, everyone looks at themselves differently, and it is just an eight-grade sesame official, is it necessary to be serious? After all, he is just a student of the Four Gates, and he has not yet entered the school......

Thinking of this, the old grandmother immediately said: "Zong'er will go to the Simen Pavilion on the tenth day of the first month, and I have to prepare for the shackles for Mr. ”

Guozi Liu said with a smile: "Aunt Xue, don't worry, Brother Zong'er's bundle has already been purchased, and it must be in place." ”

"Zong'er, when you go to Simen Pavilion, you must study hard......" The old grandmother admonished repeatedly, her eyes full of anticipation.

Xue Zong couldn't help but sigh secretly, after many years, he had to go to school and study, and he had to study the way of Confucius and Mencius all day long.
