The early morning of autumn has already had a hint of coolness, the sun has not yet risen, and the sky is white. The line of sight is not very good, and the mist covers the Zhengyangmen Tower, which looks a little gray.

At this time, before the dawn, Yanjing City had already come to life.

There are already a lot of people walking on Zhengyangmen Street, carrying big dung and pushing carts to collect buckets from house to house, and there are slaves of big families who get up early and are ready to go to Zhuangzi outside the city to inspect, sitting on horses with their sleeves copied, surrounded by many people, all of them proud. The seller of tofu brains and porridge steamed buns pushed the cart out of the house and began to walk through the alleys to sell, shouting endlessly. The early stall was set up on the corner of the street, and the fried fritters had already been put on a large pot and boiled a fierce fire.

The early shop and the small teahouse also unloaded the door panels, and Xiao Er took the towel handle and stood at the door to greet the guests. There were already a lot of well-dressed guests who were welcomed in, and then there was a series of shouts and shouts for food. Among them, there were even some Beijing officials wearing cyan official robes, who asked for a few donkey meat to be burned, asked Xiao Er to pour sesame oil, wrapped it in oil paper, tied it with hemp rope outside, and then kicked it in his arms, and hurriedly pulled his feet and ran.

Seeing this situation, the people were not surprised, and some even said hello: "Xie Yushi, are you late today?" ”

Xie Yushi waved his hand without looking back, and as soon as he ran away, the people around him let out a kind laugh.

Today is the period of the Great Dynasty Meeting, if you make a mistake, it will be a small matter, but you will lose your official.

Outside the Zhengyang Gate, there is also a long queue, vegetable farmers who enter Beijing to sell vegetables, businessmen who drive carts, teams of people who deliver wine from pot houses outside the city, and farmers who go into the city to find work to do, the queue is more than a mile long, waiting to open the city gate.

And at this moment, suddenly a dense sound of horses' hooves sounded, from far and near, everyone looked back, only to see a knight galloping from a distance, a big red cloak, like a red cloud in the wind. The bright silver armor was covered with dust and dirty, and it seemed that it had been on the road for a long time.

"Guys give way, there's an emergency!" The knight shouted at his horse.

When everyone heard this, they all hurriedly got out of the way, and at this moment, the gate of Zhengyangmen also opened!

The knight drove straight into the capital, waving the big red war post in his hand, his face was full of excitement, and shouted in the street: "Great victory, great victory!" The Marquis of Shouning defeated the white-robed rebel in Shandong and beheaded 7,000! ”

"Big win! Victory! The Marquis of Shouning defeated the white-robed rebel in Shandong and beheaded 7,000! ”

When the people on the street heard his shout, they were stunned at first, and then they cheered.

The Ming Dynasty was founded for a hundred years, and ruled the world with the people, which naturally won the hearts of the people, and the people were naturally happy to hear the great victory of the officers and soldiers. No matter what work you are doing, you should put it down for the time being and cheer first.

And in the teahouses on both sides, a few people wearing long robes and looking like scholars came out, and they wanted to ask the knight about the specific battle situation.

But the knight was galloping and shouting, but at this time he was already far away.

"A few days ago, Zicheng Bi just beheaded more than 1,000 people on Renqiu Road, and now he has cut 7,000 in the array, haha, there are Gonggong princes in the court, peaceful and prosperous, there are countless generals outside, the military is mighty, and it should be a big white! When the float is white! In a teahouse called Song Ji, a young man wearing a green shirt and a square appearance was full of excitement, and he smiled and beckoned Xiao Er to bring wine.

Across from him sat a baby-faced young man, who looked younger than the square-looking man, dressed in a white robe, with a pair of small eyes purring and turning, revealing a sense of wit. He also smiled and said, "Brother Qingquan"

Xiao Er brought the wine up, Brother Qingquan drank a full glass, sighed comfortably, and said with a little puzzlement: "This time, I didn't mention Wu Yijun and Chengbi, but I don't know, how much of these seven thousand heads is his credit?" Zixuan, you have a clever mind and a wide range of friends, have you heard of it? ”

"This is a military matter, where did I hear about it? But it's definitely indispensable! Zixuan rolled his eyes at him: "A few days ago, Wu Yijun defeated the white-robed rebels on Renqiu Road, but it has been spread all over the capital, hey, Chengbi is a native of Lao Jing, and they all say that the southern generals can fight, so we are bad?" It's really a long face for our old and young masters in the capital! Now the capital knows that he is brave and able to fight, and it is said that the emperor was very happy to hear the news, and he also praised a few words in the court, and even Lord Dai, who recommended the city, was also praised. Don't say that Chengbi is a person who can fight, even if it is not, then the Marquis of Shouning has to add his name, hehe, Chengbi is the hope of the people of Shenfu Beijing! Brother Qingquan, did you say? ”

These two people are naturally Qiu Qingquan and Ning Zixuan, since that Sihailou, the two and Lian Zining have similar interests, and they often get together, come and go, but they are very familiar.

Brother Qingquan thought about it, gave Zixuan a thumbs up, and said happily: "This is reasonable, hehe, Zixuan, how long is your head, and your reaction is a little faster than ours?" I have to think about it for a while for my brother! ”

Brother Zixuan smiled faintly: "If you say that you have a flexible mind, which of us people will go to the city?" When it is said that the scene above the lobby of Shuntianfu is vivid, and now, we are all a white ding, a city, but we are already a commander of thousands of troops, and the future of five products. Thinking about it, I am really envious in my heart! ”

Na Qingquan was very open-minded, smiled open-mindedly, and patted him on the shoulder: "Zixuan, everyone has their own fate, this matter, but I can't envy it." ”

Zixuan also smiled: "I'm just talking, speaking of which, the city is developed, we can also get light, right?" ”

"Stained?" Qiu Qingquan was puzzled: "Chengbi is a military attache after all, although he is famous now, he is only from the fifth grade, we are all people who take the right path of the imperial examination, and he is not a scholar and political official of Shuntian Mansion, what light can we get?" ”

Qiu Qingquan is even obsessed with the imperial examination, and even to the extent of obsession, the surname is square, and now he is angry about Lian Zining's abandonment of literature and martial arts, in his opinion, Lian Zining is so talented and characteristic, if it is the imperial examination, it is not surprising that he will really enter the cabinet in the future.

Ning Fei smiled a little bitterly, and said in his heart: "Brother Qiu, can't you understand it until now?" That Sun Ting already hates the city, and even hates us, although Sun Yanzhi has been degraded to Yunnan, but the protégés are innumerable, and it is not a matter of raising your hand to let us make some mistakes? Do you still want to take the exam, Zhongjinshi? ”

On his lips, he smiled: "Brother Qiu, you are superb in learning and do a good job, you will definitely be able to make the gold list in high school, but the younger brother may not." When the time comes, if the name falls to Sun Shan, the younger brother will go to the city. ”

Qiu Qingquan was a little unimpressed when he heard it, but he didn't say anything about him, just a few words of encouragement.

―――――― dividing line―――――― Dai Mansion, back garden, on the rockery, a pavilion flies, and the water is near the abyss.

At this time, the northland has a bit of autumn, some seasonal plants have fallen leaves, spread all over the place golden, there is a cool breeze caressing, the leaves go up and down in the wind, there is a little bit of sparse beauty.

In the pavilion near the lake, there is a faint sound of the piano, the light veil on all sides has been lifted, and a beautiful woman in white is sitting behind the small table, caressing the guqin in front of her.

The sound of the piano was interrupted by the sound of small footsteps, and the woman in white looked back with a look of expectation on her face.

"Miss, Miss!" Xiaoqing, who was still dressed in the green of the lake, ran over, her little face was full of excitement, shook a piece of paper in her hand, entered the pavilion, and said with a smile: "Miss, here!" ”

"Coming?" Dai Qinglan didn't care about being reserved, so she stood up with her skirt and said, "Show me!" ”

"See?" Xiaoqing's eyes rolled slightly, and she said with a smile: "Look, it's okay naturally, but miss, you have to give me some benefits!" ”

"Want benefits?" Dai Qinglan urged: "It's a big deal that when he accepts you into the room, I will tell him to be ...... to you."

"Lighter? Miss, you! As soon as he heard this, Xiaoqing's face suddenly flushed with shame, but he still didn't forget to fight back, pouting and saying: "You are a real lady, I'm afraid that I will make him lighter first, and there will be others!" ”

This time, it was Dai Qinglan's turn to blush, she was extremely thin-skinned, and Xiaoqing's words were almost like finding a crack in the ground to get into. It suddenly occurred to me that if I really wanted to be with him one day, just thinking about it, my face would be hot, my legs would be soft, and my whole body would seem to have no strength.

Since exposing Xiaoqing and Lian Zining's private relationship, and getting the promise of Lian Zining and his father, Dai Qinglan also knows that his marriage with him is already a certainty, but he just chooses to do it. And Xiaoqing also understands his identity in the future, so that the two often talk about some very private topics, and naturally it is inevitable that people will be red at the thought of it. A few days ago, Xiaoqing bought a booklet at the Ji Yaxuan Bookstore in Crutch Hutong, and the name on it was Nanyuan Painting Collection, which was actually some Spring Palace paintings.

However, these paintings in it are extremely beautiful, the characters are lifelike, and the framing is also very elegant and exquisite, or the breeze and bright moon and plum, or the pavilion and small pavilion, or the spring warmth of the women's boudoir, which makes people feel that they can't feel half a cent of silver.

In the past two days, at night, the two of them hid in the quilt and leaned on their heads to peek, looking red-faced, but they couldn't stop. One of the most wonderful ones is a woman kneeling, only wearing a red silk, and her buttocks correspond to a bright moon in the sky, and under the bright moon, flowers bloom in the backyard. The woman frowned slightly, turned her head and wanted to rest, and the accompanying poem next to her was also extremely exciting: "Half curtain breeze, a bright moon, half like shy and half shirk, turn around and tell a lighter, not like ordinary waves and wind and moon." ”

And what is even more coincidental is that beside the two of them, there is a woman who looks like a servant girl waiting, the servant girl is only wearing a big red bandeau top, revealing her hips and long legs, hugging the man from behind, and kissing gently.

Today, I mentioned this matter, how can the two unemployed yellow flower girls stand it?

In fact, this thing is also common in the Ming Dynasty, Ming Ji, before the daughter leaves the cabinet, the mother or the third aunt and six aunts will teach the bride this regard. And almost every big family has some spring palace paintings hidden in the bottom of the box, and before the daughter gets married, the mother or the grandmother in charge will turn this thing out and explain it to the young lady one by one. What's more, in the palace of the Ming Dynasty, there is also a large hall, which is full of vivid statues of the Buddha of joy making * love, all postures are available, which can be called all-encompassing, and the internal organic is included, and it moves by itself when you press it. Before the wedding of the crown prince or the emperor, there will be special close relatives to watch here.

It can be seen that the surname education of the Ming Dynasty is actually not backward.

The two laughed for a while, and the paper finally arrived in Dai Qinglan's hand.

This piece of paper is completely in the format of the official script, and it is full of dense words, which is still fresh by itself, and it is obviously just written.

She looked at it carefully, and the joy on her face became stronger and stronger, and she read softly: "On October 4 of the 50th year of Zhengde, the fierce battle with the white-robed rebels was at the intersection of Ningjin and Leling counties. …… There is a member called Lian Zining, and his Wu Yi Army is a part of the elite and daring, and it is very useful, killing and injuring many people in white robes. If it were not for the effective organization of the company and the leadership of the army to resist vigorously, the consequences would have been unimaginable......

Looking at the above evaluation of Lian Zining, she was overjoyed in her heart, the members of the dynasty wanted to be cautious, cautious in words and deeds, if they spoke lightly, everyone would not believe it and not say it, and it would even attract impeachment from the imperial history. This is also understandable from the fact that later generations of high-ranking officials never expressed their personal opinions in public. It is because these high-ranking officials are extremely careful in their use of words, whether they express political opinions or perform excerpts. Zhang Yanchang is a super marquis, the commander of the army, and being able to say these words is already a very high evaluation of Lian Zining.

Xiaoqing said on the side: "I know that the young lady is worried about it, the text sent by the Marquis of Shouning has just arrived at the Ministry of War, and the lord asked people to copy it and send it back, and it is Second Brother Chen who came back, he said, the lord also said that early this morning, before the court meeting began, the Marquis of Shouning had already handed it to the palace for the merits of the front-line soldiers, and it must be possible to have a letter in these days." ”

Dai Qinglan nodded, read the official document again, pursed her lips and smiled: "This Hou Ye is also humble and honest, between the lines, it is all the credit of others, and he didn't mention a word about himself." ”

She suddenly remembered something, and said, "By the way, I almost forgot about this, hurry up and copy this official document and send it to Sister Su Su, they must have been in a hurry." ”

Xiaoqing pouted: "Miss, are we going to be inferior in front of her?" Hmph, if you don't mention it, I don't want to say it, then let's go to visit his house, and his sister looks like she loves to ignore it, which makes people angry when they see it. ”

Dai Qinglan sank her face: "Xiaoqing, it's just a matter of saying this in front of me, don't you dare to say it in front of him, don't you know, how strong is their brother and sister relationship?" ”

Xiao Qing nodded with a flat mouth, turned around and left.

Looking at Xiaoqing's back in a daze, Dai Qinglan smiled helplessly, and there was some bitterness in her smile that could not be hidden.
