Chapter 410: Rejoicing with the People
When someone is in the way, no one will be in a good mood, not to mention that Xu Xun is rare to be able to pull his fiancée out to watch the lights at this time, not to mention the annoyance in his heart at this moment. He glanced coldly at the young soldiers who were probing their brains not far away, and saw that the leader Cao Mi had a little panic on his face, and he came to his senses in a moment.
At this time, the people who blocked the road were all scholars in Confucian shirts, and they were not ordinary disciples, could these guards he arranged still stubbornly block the arrogance and prevent people from taking this road?
Looking at these Confucian scholars, some of whom were only in their early twenties, and some of them were in their thirties, knowing that even if they were officials in the court, they were definitely not high-ranking officials, and at first glance they looked more like people in the country or in the government, or ordinary scholars, so he squinted his eyes, and then said lightly: "Then dare to ask a few, since the first emperor issued the ban, every year during the Lantern Festival, has it really forbidden military and civilian women to travel?" ”
Seeing that the person who hit the head was slightly stunned, Xu Xun didn't wait for him to come up with a statement to refute himself, so he sneered and said: "This is the middle of Dengshikou Street, everyone walks all the way, do you only see my fiancée and a woman?" Since you have such skills, why don't you go all the way to persuade those women and girls not to take advantage of the rare opportunity to go out and go out all year round, but to stay at home all day and watch the weaving machine and the stove and do what they have to do honestly...... How dare you say it! ”
Xu Xun suddenly raised his voice for the last sentence, seeing that the man's cheeks were red with anger, and the few people behind him were also angry, where would he let it go lightly, and immediately raised the corners of his mouth and said: "I remember that there is such a paragraph in "Miscellaneous Notes on Rites", 'Zigong is looking at wax. Confucius said, "Bestow, happy?" He said, "The people of a country are crazy, and they are not known for their pleasure." Zi said: "The wax of a hundred words, the Ze of one day, Feier knows it. Zhang is not relaxed, and the civil and military are also capable; Relaxed but not relaxed, civil and military for the also. One piece and one relaxation, the way of civil and military affairs. ’
Judging by the fact that you are all scholars, maybe at this time, maybe you will be court officials in the future. Since he is a protégé of a saint, he should be familiar with the "Book of Rites"! The whole country celebrates the Lantern Festival, and they don't even know how to have fun with the people, and they only speak with a ban that has never been practiced! Isn't the woman a native of the Ming Dynasty, working hard all year round, this only Lantern Festival has to be pointed at by you scholars, who doesn't say that you will forget the suffering of the people after you become officials! The first emperor knew that the ban was not feasible, so he never really forbade it, this is the mind of the benevolent monarch, not comparable to the rotten Confucian! ”
The court and the central government all said that Xu Xun was fortunate to advance, and he was not able to learn, was arrogant, arrogant, and so on, and so on, how many derogatory words should be, where did these Confucian scholars learn Xu Xun and even the bigwigs had suffered losses, and at this moment, listening to him actually moved out of what the sage said, several Confucian scholars who were originally full of blood and wanted to fight have choked enough, and what they didn't expect was that Xu Xun was pressing step by step, and his voice was getting louder and louder. Immediately after, Xu Xun didn't look at them, and suddenly arched his hand inexplicably. It was only at this time that they suddenly realized that they didn't know when it started, and there were already a lot of people gathered to watch the excitement, "Ladies and gentlemen, in Xiaping Beibo Xu Xun, today is the Lantern Festival, so on a whim, I invited my fiancée to visit the lantern market together." Seeing the uproar below, Xu Xun paused, seeing that there were already young soldiers who were already informed and interested in suppressing the crowd there, the noise gradually dissipated a lot, and there were more people who flocked around to see the excitement, he pointed to the few young people with ugly faces and said, "This Lantern Festival is a good thing for the whole country to celebrate, and the current emperor adheres to the consistent intention of the first emperor and is sympathetic to all the people, so less than a year after the death of the first emperor, he still turns on the lantern festival as usual, I just want to take my fiancée to get some grace, Who would have thought that someone would not give up, and kept saying that the imperial court had already banned military and civilian women from traveling in the streets and alleys in the first lunar month! ”
As soon as these words came out, the Confucian scholars saw that the crowd of onlookers all looked at them, and the young girls who were mixed in were a little shy and embarrassed, and the married women were much bolder, and even coaxed on the spot: "Yo, are they worried that their old lady and daughter-in-law will go out to visit the lantern market during the Lantern Festival!" ”
"It's not, it's hard to go out all year round, and the old lady has someone to take care of when she goes out for a hundred diseases, and she is full of food and support!"
"It snowed for three or four days a few days ago in this New Year, and many houses in Nancheng collapsed, and no one cares about this kind of trivial matter, although we are trivial things, what kind of scholar is this!"
"Study, study, and lose all the furniture at home, and I don't know if I can read it or not!"
"Where is it like Miss Shen, when she saw that the house in Nancheng collapsed, she took out the dowry money to repair the roof and give porridge for relief, that is the real kindness! If you want me to say, what does it matter to you when people are together, the lights in Xing'anbo Mansion are hung well, heroes and beauties, a match made in heaven! ”
Xu Xun started the conversation in a few words, and at this moment he stood aside with his hands and remained silent, allowing the embarrassed scholars to be ridiculed unscrupulously by those women who didn't know a single big word. However, Shen Yue was a little reluctant in his heart, and pulled Xu Xun and said in a low voice: "Are you going too far?" ”
"It's not too hot, how can I make some of the bosses in the court and the central government make up their minds to drive me out of the capital, so that I can accompany you back to Nanjing to visit my grandmother?" Xu Xun's eyes widened when he saw Shen Yue's stunned suddenly, and then he turned around and said lightly, "The heavy snow in Nancheng collapsed the house, and I donated a thousand taels in your name to help people repair the roof and give porridge relief." Although there are often people in the families of dignitaries and dignitaries who put rice and give porridge and clothes, but you haven't married into Xing'an Bofu so you are so kind and charitable, coupled with the good reputation created by Jinling Meng, this continuous means is much better than people moving their mouths! ”
If it hadn't been premeditated, today's Lantern Festival, the alley of Dengshikou was overcrowded, how did these people just come out and block his road and question? He is not Zhang Heling, he is a big man in the DPRK and China, and he has never bullied the people, so when he encounters a thorn similar to Li Mengyang to stop people on the street, he will never be beaten passively, and he is not afraid of debate, who has more crooked reasoning!
Sure enough, as Xu Xun expected, of course those Confucian scholars would not lower their faces and argue with a few women, but there were still people who wanted to find Xu Xun's theories, but there were already young soldiers who were quick to come forward to block the drive, and they could only watch Xu Xun carefully protect Shen Yue with one hand, and beckoned at the onlookers with the other. All of a sudden, some people in the market shouted "a match made in heaven", and soon more people followed suit.
"I wish Pingbei Bo an early son in the future!"
"A hundred years together!"
"Grow old together!"
If it weren't for Shen Yue's determination that she hadn't really married Xu Xun now, listening to these words that should obviously be a newlywed blessing for the little couple, she would have the illusion that this is the good day. I only heard Xu Xun beside him laugh and say loudly: "Today is a good festival, all fathers and fellow villagers, please have fun, don't pay attention to these pedantic people!" As for me and my future lady, thank you for those good words just now, and now we are going to sneak away to see the lights! It is said that there will be joy on the door, thank you for your support! ”
Seeing that the pair of young men and women disappeared into the crowd under the cover of people, they disappeared in a moment, and there were regretful sighs and excited shouts in the figures. The first play in Xianyuan, the play performed by Mancheng, and the storytelling in the Mancheng Restaurant Teahouse can be listened to for a long time for only a penny, which is enough to make many people familiar with this pair of beautiful people, and anyone who says they don't know is embarrassed to go out, not to mention that Xu Xun actually said anything about scattered candy at this time. So, when those Confucian scholars tried to squeeze a passage out of the crowd with iron faces, they attracted many blank eyes, and even inevitably received a few secret blows with punches and kicks.
It's true that the common people respect the scholars, but who doesn't hate these festivals? Especially if there is a fresh idol in the market who teaches them a lesson, who doesn't like to hear it?
And just after such a limelight, when he arrived in a secluded place, Xu Xun immediately changed into a robe under Cao Mi's response, and even changed his headband, and after sending Cao Mi away, he pulled Shen Yue out like a thief, and he sighed and smiled: "Fortunately, I was prepared, otherwise I would have to go back halfway!" ”
"You also said, who let you do it, and actually revealed your identity in public, and you are not afraid to turn back, we can be recognized wherever we go!" Anger turned into anger, but when she thought of the many people shouting auspicious words, Shen Yue still couldn't help but feel a deep joy in her heart, and then she remembered something important when she looked around.
"By the way, what about my eldest brother?"
"Ouch, at this time, you finally thought of your big brother?" Xu Xun smiled, followed by a heavy twist on his arm, he deliberately exhaled in pain, and when he saw the little girl, he immediately withdrew his hand weakly, and looked sideways to see if anyone was looking here, he just stretched out his hand and shook it in front of his eyes, "Don't worry, Jin Liu is driving around with his eldest brother, and no one can lose it." He's in the middle of us at this great time, isn't that a bad sight? ”
"Dead guy, another......"
When the young couple joked with each other and blended into the flow of people watching the lights, at the west entrance of Dengshikou Street, a carriage parked there, a person always held the curtain and watched the flow of people coming in and out. After a long time, he finally caught the figures who rushed out angrily. Without his command, the people next to the car immediately walked quickly towards that side, and after a while turned around again.
"Master, Xu Xun really had a seizure on the spot, and he also revealed his identity in front of many onlookers, and said a lot of excessive things, but I am afraid that the matter will spread when I turn back."
"Let's go."
Jiao Fang breathed a long sigh of relief, lowered the curtains, and showed a trace of pride on his face. He knew that Xu Xun, who was now at the peak of his young ambition, couldn't help but be angry! You must know that this mouthpiece of the DPRK is not in the hands of those small people!
