Chapter 38 The officials ask the sedan chair
Shaking, warm and warm, the comfortable Yang sacrificial wine came to the door of the Jianfu Gate of the Taiji Palace. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
At this time, it was about the fifth watch, and it was still dark. But outside the Jianfu Gate, the lights are brilliant. Oh, it's supposed to be torch brilliance. The guards on the left and right sides of the palace gate stood in front of the Jianfu Gate, holding a spear in one hand and a torch in the other, reflecting the magnificent palace gate very spectacularly.
The coachmen and butlers who came to the court meeting also held torches in their hands, and stood outside their carriages to illuminate the adults of their own families, or waited for the adults of each family with hot water in their hands.
At this time, a lot of people have come, because after the fifth watch, the palace gate will be opened. There will be soldiers from the left and right guards to lead the adults of each family to the Xuanzheng Hall to prepare for the court. It was about seven or eight o'clock in the morning that the emperor would come to court.
So at this time, everyone will wait outside the Jianfu Gate, for fear of delaying the hour.
When some of the people were riding horses and were stiff and cold, and some were sore and sore in the carriage. Yang Xijiu sat on the sedan chair and came slowly.
Under the gaze of so many ministers of the court, even the butler of the Yang Mansion did not dare to be the slightest presumptuous, and said softly: "Get off the sedan chair, get off the sedan chair." ”
The sedan chair was put down gently, and with this slight trembling, Yang Xijiu in the sedan chair had already sobered up. He put his hand on his mouth and snorted slightly, rubbed his eyes, and drank a glass of hot water. I suddenly felt that I was much more sober and energetic today than usual.
Just as the Yang sacrificial wine in the sedan chair was recovering its spirits, it could be regarded as exploding outside. Although they are all ministers of the court, they are not all high-ranking officials here. There are also some small officials.
"Liu Yuanwailang? Liu Yuanwailang? Do you know what this is? ”
"Uh... This, forgive me for being lonely and unheard, I really don't know what this is. ”
"Hey, you don't know each other, and I haven't seen it either."
..................................................
"Elder Wang, do you see that this is carried by four people, but it looks like a step?"
An old man gently stroked his beard and looked up and down the sedan chair: "This ,,, old man can't say well." However, there is a slight resemblance, but I don't know it. ”
...................................................
"Han Shilang? Who do you think is sitting here? An old man in a third-grade official uniform smiled slightly and asked a middle-aged man next to him who was also over fifty years old. Although the old man's face looked a little haggard, he should also be tired from riding in the carriage, and he should be very healthy on weekdays.
The person called Han Shilang arched his hand towards the old man: "Old Zongzheng, why are you also interested in asking these things today?" ”
"Hahaha, when people are old, they naturally want to be comfortable. I think this thing is better than a carriage, right? Yes? Lao Zongzheng looked at his carriage with a sad face. Although the decoration is gorgeous, the inside is warm and comfortable. But I can't help but have such a big bump.
"I guess it's better than a carriage, right? It is estimated that it will not be a small official, who it is, and it is not good to forgive the official. This Han Shilang also smiled bitterly and shook his head,
"When the old man was young, he could gallop on a horse, but now he is old, old."
"Zongzheng, what are you talking about, old should be strong, old should be strong. You don't see that Lu Lao Guogong can print dozens of cups a day, eat several bowls of rice, and eat a few catties. You're a few years older than Guogong."
"Cheng Biting Jin, I can compare, hahaha,"
When the two were talking, they suddenly heard someone next to them say, "Chu Shangshu is here." ”
The car happened to stop not far in front of Lao Zongzheng and Han Shilang, and a thin man in a third-grade official uniform walked out, as if he still had a little ink fragrance on his body. At first glance, he doesn't look like an official, but like a pure reader.
Han Shilang arched his hand towards the man: "Chu Shangshu"
"Ah, Boyu, I came early today. Hey, Lao Zongzheng, you came early. ”
"Ah, I'm older, I'm less awake, so I'm here a little earlier. Why is Suiliang uncomfortable? ”
Hearing him ask, the corners of Chu Suiliang's mouth twitched slightly, and he waved his hand again and again: "It's insignificant, it's insignificant." ”
Hearing him answer like this, the two of them understood in their hearts that there must be some unspeakable disease. It seems that it also affects walking.
"Uh... I don't know what it is? Outside this palace gate, how can there be a new thing? Chu Suiliang hurriedly changed the topic, pointed to the sedan chair and said.
"You said the same, just now, Boyu and I were also talking about it. I don't know who made such a thing. ”
As the three of them were talking, Yang Xijiu put the fox fur in the sedan chair and walked down gently. Seeing him come down in such good spirits, the three people who looked at him were very surprised, after all, it was not a day or two to be an official in the same dynasty, and everyone knew what the state of Yang Sai wine was on weekdays. So spirited today?
got off the sedan chair, and at a glance, I saw Chu Suiliang, Han Boyu, and Zong Zheng together. Yang Xijiu smiled slightly and walked towards the three of them.
Naturally, the low-grade people didn't dare to ask this third-grade master, so they could only say hello to each other: "Yang sacrifice wine is good"
"Eh, okay."
"Yang Festival Wine Early"
"Well, morning"
After a while, he walked up to the three of them.
"Morning, everybody."
"Yang sacrificial wine early." Chu Suiliang and Han Ying arched their hands and said. Lao Zongzheng and Yang Xijiu are very familiar, and they opened their mouths directly: "Zhengji, you are surprisingly good today?" ”
"Hahaha, I'm old, and I can't sleep well on weekdays. The carriage shook badly, and it was naturally not good to get off the road. No, you see, I changed something today, and it was quite comfortable to sit, and it was much stronger to squint. Yang Xijiu said to Lao Zongzheng with a smile.
"Oh? How? This thing is more comfortable than a carriage? What is it? ”
"This thing is called a sedan chair, and it was given to me by my old sister, but it is much more comfortable than the carriage."
"Sedan chair?" Lao Zongzheng looked at it and muttered softly, and it seemed that he wanted to try it too, and if it was really good, he would buy one himself.
"Zong Zheng might as well go up and give it a try? I watched as it was still some distance from the door, and it was warm inside, so I might as well sit down. ”
"Oh? That's a good feeling. As he spoke, he pulled Yang Sai wine and walked to the sedan chair. Chu Suiliang and Han Boyu smiled bitterly and had no choice, so they had to follow along. However, this sedan chair is small, and it is already the limit to be able to fit two people.
Seeing that Lao Zong was about to try this novel sedan chair with Yang Xijiu, all the officials were idle anyway, and three high-ranking officials of the third grade in the court and a four-grade waiter, everyone was also happy to play with them.
