Chapter 435: The disappointed Yang family

Jingzhou city leans on the Yangtze River, the city wall hovers in the lake light and water color, undulates according to the topography, along the lake pond and detours, winds and stretches, the shape is like a swimming dragon, it is divided into three layers, the outside is the water city, the middle is the brick city, the inside is the earth city, in the early morning, the morning sun rises slowly, the light mist is thin and dispersed, the ancient city, it is lively again.

Industrious people, has gotten up early, lightly busy, a carriage, along the spacious alleys, leisurely towards the east of the city post station, the horse neck tied with a silver bell, ticking hooves, accompanied by a crisp bell, echoing in the streets and alleys, passing pedestrians see, the heart is strange, whose nobles, get up early in the morning, where to go in a hurry?

Soon after, the carriage stopped at the inn, and the coachman came up and knocked on the door, and after a while, a handyman, lazily opened the door, stroked his mouth and yawned, and said vaguely: "What are you doing so early......

"It's okay, you go back, thank you for your money steward on my behalf." Han Rui also got out of the car, and after sending the coachman back, he walked into the hall and asked casually, "The imperial envoy who came yesterday, have you woken up?" ”

The handyman rubbed his eyes, looked at Han Rui, and had a rare impression, as if he was a big official among the angels of the court, so he hurriedly saluted and said cautiously: "The villain is here to watch the door and keep vigil, but he doesn't know." ”

"Well, tell the kitchen, let's prepare breakfast." Han Rui said, walking towards the courtyard wing.

The clerk hurriedly responded, hurriedly, woke up the clerk who was still sleeping, and heard the clerk's relay, the scribe, who was still a little angry, seemed to have poured cold water on him, and became completely sober, without even washing his face, grabbed a piece of clothing, woke up all the other clerks and miscellaneous servants, and came to the kitchen, followed by the noisy sound of pots and pans......

When the steaming breakfast was neatly placed on the table in the hall, Han Rui took Imperial Physician Ding and others, talking and laughing, talking and laughing, down-to-earth, and sleeping peacefully for a night, everyone's spirit was good, and they were full of energy, and finally had a little bit of the bearing of the court envoys, unlike yesterday, who was dusty and haggard, as if they were prisoners from prison.

Refreshed, naturally the appetite is greatly boosted, everything eaten is fragrant, a few cakes were solved in three or two, Imperial Doctor Ding smiled and said: "Dr. Han, it's also a strange thing to say, yesterday's dinner, there was also this kind of cake, but it tasted like chewing wax, there was no taste at all, and I still wonder if these officials fooled us, and now we taste it again, but it has a different flavor." ”

"Yes, the fragrance is smooth and tender, it dissolves in the mouth, and it seems to have the taste of fish." Someone chimed in.

"If you angels like it, if you like it." The scribe of the post station smiled on the side: "This is our product of Jiangling County, Jingzhou, called fish cake, according to legend, it was created by Emperor Shun's concubine, it is steamed with fish, meat, lotus seed powder, etc., and the fish is not seen when you eat fish, the fish contains the taste of meat, the meat has the fragrance of fish, the two complement each other, and it is also a rare delicacy." ”

"Everyone thinks it's good, then let's have two more sets." Han Rui said with a smile, anyway, the cake slices are exquisite, there are only a few pieces on one plate, and if you have two more plates, you should be able to eat it.

The scribe smiled cutely, hurriedly retreated, and rushed out of the hall door in a hurry, someone came in outside, and almost bumped into it, the scribe hurriedly stopped, and was about to open his mouth to scold, see the appearance of the person who came, swallowed the words back, nodded and said: "Feng Changshi." ”

"Rough." Feng Changshi scolded lightly, frowned, and said, "Hurry, what are you going to do?" ”

"The angel thought the fish cakes were delicious, and told the little one to bring a few plates." The scribe said in panic, sweating faintly on his forehead, and rushed into Shangguan, the consequences were very serious.

Fortunately, Feng Changshi was generous and would not worry about the little officials, so he waved his hand directly: "Go ahead." ”

"Whoa." The scribe was overjoyed, bowed, hurriedly took a few steps back, and turned away.

A little thing, not paying attention to it at all, Feng Changshi stepped into the hall, lifted the bead curtain, and said with a smile: "Angels, I'm here to disturb again." ”

"Feng Changshi." Han Rui and the others did not slack off, and hurriedly got up to greet them, after all, according to the rank, as the governor of the Governor's Mansion, he is also a fourth-grade official, and his status is still above everyone, and everyone is polite, and everyone can't be rude.

"Feng Changshi, did you have breakfast?" Han Rui sent out an invitation at the right time: "Hurry up and sit down, Jingzhou fish cake tastes good, fragrant and refreshing, quite appetizing." ”

Feng Changshi did not refuse, and happily agreed, naturally there were miscellaneous servants next to Han Rui, added an extra table, put cups and chopsticks, and served breakfast, Feng Changshi moved the chopsticks, meaning, put them down again, and then smiled: "Angels, how did you sleep last night?" If there is any inadequate care, please forgive me. ”

Han Rui smiled, bowed his head and said nothing, he didn't spend the night here, so naturally he had no right to speak.

Chewing the delicious fish cake and slowly swallowing it into his stomach, Imperial Physician Ding smiled and said, "Very good, for so many days, it was last night, and I slept the most steadily." ”

"Hehe, what Imperial Doctor Ding said is very true, I used to wake up in the middle of the night, hear the sound of waves, and the cabin was shaking and restless, and my heart followed seven up and down, where can I still sleep."

"The most terrible thing is that I finally fell asleep, and there was a wave, and the hull of the ship shook, and the body also rolled, and my head hit the bulkhead, and you see, until now, it is still swollen with tumors......"

"Idiot, why don't you tie yourself up with a rope."

"Hey, I forgot that there is still this trick......"

A group of officials laughed and joked, the atmosphere of breakfast was pleasant, and Feng Changshi also took the opportunity to tell some anecdotes about Jingzhou, scenery and food, etc., talking and laughing, and narrowing the relationship between them.

After the meal, after taking a short rest, Han Rui restrained his smile and said solemnly: "Everyone, go back to the room to change your clothes, and prepare to visit the Duke of Jinyang." ”

"Whoa." A group of officials agreed in unison, dispersed one after another, and after a while, they changed into official robes and took Li Shimin's reward to the samurai? All kinds of gifts, come to the courtyard to gather.

A scribe, holding a detailed list, carefully checked it, and after everything was correct, Han Rui nodded lightly, took the lead in moving forward, unhurriedly, and walked out of the post station.

At this time, in the streets and alleys in front of the post station, under the arrangement of Feng Changshi, many officials and gentry came, after all, they came on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and the local officials naturally did not dare to slack off.

Therefore, from ancient times to the present, for the face project, whether it is the government or the people, they are very particular, as long as there is a need, no matter what tricks, they can be thought of, and they can be done meticulously, Han Rui is noncommittal, but he will not be unconventional and prevent people's welcome ceremonies.

Feng Changshi came out again and said with a smile: "Please angel get on the horse." ”

Under the traction of a snow-white horse, a sturdy body, and a horse with long limbs, he walked slowly, looking very tame, Han Rui looked at it, and guessed in his heart, this is to praise the street parade?

In fact, Han Rui did not guess wrong, and he was not ready to refuse, and he could not refuse, because at this time, he was not representing himself, but the emperor, and if he was a local official, if he did not prepare like this, it would be disrespectful to the emperor.

Moreover, the concept of the times is different, in the eyes of later generations, such a face-saving project is purely a waste of financial and material resources, and there is no need at all, but now, the concept of imperial power is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and most people come to welcome the imperial court, most of them will not be ashamed, but will be proud and feel very honorable.

Seeing the elated officials, gentry, and people nearby, Han Rui laughed at himself, everyone was drunk, and the feeling of me waking up alone was really not good, and I didn't know if I was drunk when I woke up, Han Rui's heart was fluttering, his movements were not slow, he turned over and got on the horse, and gestured to the Quartet, and in an instant, the drum music became more intense.

At the same time, in the Governor's Mansion, the warriors of the Duke of Jinyang? His wife, Yang, is directing the servants and maids in the house, cleaning the hall, preparing the table incense case, and waiting for the arrival of the court envoys.

Speaking of the Yang family, not a samurai? The original match, the samurai?, followed Li Yuan, laid down the country, when the martial arts were three years old, he was promoted to the Sanpin Ministry of Shangshu, ranked one of the eight, ranked in the political affairs hall, and participated in the formulation of the Tang Dynasty decree with the official inspection school Zuo Xiangsuwei, participated in the formulation of the Tang Dynasty decree, known as the prime minister, can be called a samurai? The most glorious period of life.

But it's also a bit unfortunate, his original wife Xiang Li, may not be able to bear such a blessing, died of illness, there is no doubt that at that time, a samurai in his early forties?, can be described as a high-powered, proud, remarried, that is an inevitable thing.

According to the concept of being the right person, as a warrior who is a powerful person in the court, the status of the wife who remarries cannot be too low, which is also the best choice to raise the identity of the Wu family, and then due to various reasons, by chance, the Yang family, who is the daughter of the Sui Dynasty, became a samurai? The new lady.

Although Li Yuan seized the Sui Dynasty and killed many of the former dynasty clans, everyone is also a relative, and in the case that no one can threaten their dominance, it is still good for some Yang disciples, not only did they not oppose the samurai? married the clan of the previous dynasty, but attached great importance to it, sent Princess Guiyang as a matchmaker, and even officiated for him to marry.

In short, no matter what kind of thinking everyone, including the parties, is, anyway, everyone is satisfied with this marriage with complementary powers, since they have become a husband and wife, of course, the child came into being, first gave birth to the eldest daughter, and then gave birth to the second daughter in the first month of the seventh year of Wude.

Of course, Yang didn't feel that his second daughter was anything unusual, on the contrary, he was even a little disappointed, thinking that the third child was still a daughter, Yang couldn't bear the loss in his heart anymore, and sighed softly.

After all, whether it is her, or the samurai?, they all hope that they can have a son-in-law with their mother's noble blood, replace the son of the humble ex-wife of the family, and become the heir of the martial family, but unfortunately, the sky does not obey people's wishes, and has been disappointed three times in a row, and the Yang family, who is over fifty years old, does not think that he still has this opportunity.

His eyes swept over the gloomy color, and he suddenly found that in front of the hall door, someone was tiptoeing by, Yang glanced at it, and immediately shouted with a straight face: "Yuan Qing, Yuan Shuang, where are you going?" ”
