Chapter 044: Offended
The two of them spoke so vigorously that they forgot that there was another person in the house. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info In the end, Li Bai found out that something was wrong, and exclaimed: "Niu Tou, is your mother ...... Stunned? ”
Since Meng came back to the present, not only has he not said a word, but he has not even changed his sitting posture.
Li Ang was frightened, and hurriedly stepped forward and took his mother's hand and shook it: "Mother, mother, what's wrong?" What's uncomfortable? ”
Meng Shi raised his head and looked at his son, with an unpredictable expression on his face, and sighed in his mouth: "Alas, I thought that this life would be like this, but I didn't expect that Lin Lao would become the wife of a jinshi, Lang Guanniang." It's to make me close my eyes today......"
Li Bai saw that the tears were falling when he was talking and talking, and he couldn't cry or laugh for a while: "Don't, don't close your eyes, I haven't eaten breakfast yet." ”
Meng Shi didn't have a seizure, glanced at her husband, and sighed faintly: "You are now a non-commissioned officer, and you can still look at your appearance, how can you continue the string?" ”
"Nonsense!" Li Bai became serious. "Say something bad on a big day! I'm like a fart curtain worn by dolls, just to cover up my shame. That 'Shouchun Mansion Literature' is just a fictitious position, from the ninth grade, one level lower than the bull's head! Besides, what strings do you want me to continue? ”
Meng Shi sighed again, wiped his tears, pointed to a pile of things on the table and said, "You can wear it for me." ”
It was the crown of the robe and the crown belt that was issued with the edict, and Li Bai was not happy when he heard it: "What do you do with it on a hot day?" ”
Li Ang looked at his mother, and could somehow understand her state of mind at the moment, so he helped persuade his father, and both of them went in with official uniforms to wear. Because they were given casual officials, their grades were low, and it was estimated that the conditions in Nanjing were also difficult now, so only one set of public uniforms was issued.
There is a straight-legged lined wood lacquered gauze head, a green robe with a round neck and narrow sleeves, a black silver belt with a medicine point, and a pair of leather shoes. Although it is not as grand as the court dress, it is better to save trouble, which is also the reason why the public service is also known as the regular service.
After a while, they were all dressed up.
There is a way that people rely on clothes and horses to rely on saddles, and the father and son wear brocade robes, wear their heads, kick their leather shoes, and buckle their hands on their belts, and shake out a bit of official authority when they board.
Meng Shi looked at it for a while, and couldn't stop crying: "Even if I close my eyes today, it's worth ......."
After this incident, the Li family changed its appearance into an official household, although it was a happy event, but it was not celebrated because it was out of place. I only invited Jiang Yi's family and had a meal with a few good old people in the township.
When meeting guests, Meng strongly asked her husband and son to wear official uniforms, but the two of them refused to obey and refused to show that eye again.
Soon in October, Li Ang was still working behind closed doors, but at this stage, the main focus was on simulating the provincial test. Li Bai relied on the experience of going to the province four times, but he was able to deal with it. It's just that he thinks that his son shouldn't be so anxious, anyway, there are at least three or four years left, so it's right to come down-to-earth.
During this time, several big things happened.
After Zhao Gou ascended the throne in Nanjing, he appointed Li Gang as the prime minister. As soon as he took office, he advocated "repudiating all peace talks" and accumulating money to train troops in preparation for the Jin army's repetition.
As a result, after only 75 days, he was moved by Wang Boyan, Huang Qianshan and other lords and factions, dismissed him from his post, and even expelled him from the center.
In late October, both Zhao Gou and Jianyan's courtiers believed that Nanjing could not be defended, so they moved the Xing Dynasty from Yingtianfu in Nanjing to Yangzhou.
Many people think that Xinjun is about to use Yangzhou as a basis, shame and courage, and Zhongxing Da Song. But Li Ang knew that Yangzhou was by no means the last stop of Zhao Gou's "southern tour". The imperial court, which is called the "Southern Song Dynasty" by historians, represented by him, still has a few years of **** period before gaining a firm foothold.
What you have to do is get involved as soon as possible. And there is only one way to participate, the first imperial examination of the Jianyan Dynasty.
In the rented bedroom, behind the bookcase near the window, Li Ang was concentrating on studying a collection of poems, "Wenyuan Yinghua", by the light of the porcelain lamp.
This is one of the four major books of the Northern Song Dynasty, which collects nearly 20,000 works by more than 2,000 poets from Xiao Liang to the Tang Dynasty.
Li Ang looked at it, of course, not to cultivate sentiment, but because this collection of poems included a large number of Tang Dynasty interpretation and provincial test poems.
The reason why I don't study the poems of everyone in the Song Dynasty is because although the level of Song poetry is not low, but at this time, the poetry world is in the "innovation period" created by Wang Anshi and others. And in the next imperial examination, the imperial court will inevitably remove Wang Anshi's influence. Therefore, Li Ang bet on the treasure of the provincial test poem on "retro".
Meng Shi quietly came to his son's room and saw that the window was open, and the cold air of the early winter night was enough to seep people. I wanted to close it for him but was afraid of disturbing him to work hard, so I hesitated for a while.
In the end, he was still afraid that his son would catch a cold, so Meng Shi cautiously called: "Niu Head." ”
As soon as Li Ang turned around, he asked, "Mother, is my father back?" ”
"No, it's cold at night, you close that window."
"Oh, no, that's what I want to be a little chill and clear my head."
Meng Shi persuaded him several times, but his son didn't listen, so he had no choice but to say: "Then you put on the new robe." ”
Although Li Ang knew in his heart that his mother cherished him, he was annoyed by talking too much, and was about to persuade her to rest, when he saw a figure push open the door and enter the courtyard.
Meng Shi hurriedly greeted him, complaining all the way that her husband had come in and forgot to latch the door.
Leon smiled and turned his attention back to the book.
I don't know how long it took, but he felt a little tired. Just as I was thinking about getting up for an activity, I suddenly thought, why didn't my father come to his room to check his homework when he came back? Is it because the prefect invited him to get drunk?
Thinking of this, he pulled out his chair to go out to have a look, and as soon as he got up, Li Bai came in.
Although he hung his head and locked his eyebrows, he didn't look like he was drunk. Hearing Li Ang call him, he only said "um", and then dragged a chair and sat down next to his son's bookcase.
"Dad, lost your money?"
"Don't make a fuss."
"So, lose face?"
"Don't make a fuss."
Leon took a breath of cold air, what's going on? Didn't you go to the banquet from the Governor of Kang? When you go, you are still happy, but when you come back, you are sad?
Li Bai was bored for a long time, and finally raised his head to look at his son, his eyes flickered a little: "Niu Tou, I'm afraid I've offended the prefect this time." ”
"Huh? What's going on? Although Li Ang was a little surprised, he was not shocked. First, because he knows his father's character, he is indeed easy to offend people. Second, although he and Kang Yunzhi did not formally apprentice, they also had a master-apprentice status verbally, as long as it was not a big deal, they should be able to come back.
Tightening the brocade jacket on his body, Li Bai said in a deep voice: "I thought that the prefect was about to leave office, so I invited the officials of the county to resign. I didn't know if I went, and I was the only one who was invited. ”
Li Ang also locked his eyebrows when he heard this, only invite my father one, what kind of routine is this? Although he often goes in and out of the prefect's mansion, Kang Yunzhi is really not familiar with the big official in his own family.
