Chapter 277 [Silence is better than sound at this time]
The first month, the first day of the year, the most solemn day of the Han New Year. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info There is no concept of the New Year, and the beginning of the year has been there.
This year's year is very different from previous years, because this is the first year after the new emperor Liu Biao ascended the throne, and it is also the year when he officially used the new era name, which is of extraordinary significance.
Liu Biao ascended the throne in early June last year, because of the great behavior of the first emperor, in order to show respect, he still used the era name of Jingning. Until the first New Year, Vientiane is renewed, and this is played by hundreds of officials, please enable the new year. The name of the year has been decided, revealing a strong sense of the new son of heaven ascending to the throne: the beginning.
In the first year of its founding (32 years ago), everything exuded the atmosphere of a new dynasty.
Zhang Fang doesn't care about the year name, and he is not interested in celebrating the first day of the year, and he can't care about this stall at the moment, because he has something more important - the prospective old man is here! I also brought a little girl.
According to the letters of the class and the revelations of the two prospective uncles in Beijing, it is basically certain that this time they are coming to the marriage.
Counting on his fingers, Zhang Fang is also eighteen years old, at this age, he is only a high school student in later generations, but in this ancient world, it is the standard age for starting a family. In fact, Zhang Fang still wants to wait, it is better to wait until the age of the real weak crown, but Ban Yuanjun can't afford to wait, she is seventeen. In ancient times, it was okay for a man to marry twenty or thirty, but once a woman passed twenty, she was an old girl, and he couldn't delay others.
On the last day of the year, the father and daughter and the youngest son Ban Zhi finally arrived and stayed at the house of the eldest son, Ban Bo. Bamber was just a petty official of 600 stones, and he bought a set of second-entry small mansions in the area of Liushi, Chang'an. Although Chang'an has every inch of land, with the family background of the richest man in the northwest of the Ban family, he bought a large mansion in the center and decorated it magnificently. It's just that if you have a humble job, you have to keep a low profile, and don't do things that exceed your status, which will only invite trouble and will not be blessed. At this point, the cautious and knowing the advance and retreat of the class is still doing well.
For the same reason, although the Fuping Marquis Mansion is spacious and comfortable, and it is no problem to receive 100 people, it is inconvenient for Zhang Fang to invite, and the class will not live in his mansion.
I haven't seen Ban Yuanjun for more than a year, and Zhang Fang actually wants to visit immediately to see how this virtuous and elegant girl is growing. Well, and that cute Apple girl. It's a pity that today is the first year of the year, and there are no officials in Chang'an who are not busy, and he will naturally be no exception.
All the busyness points to one goal - the first ceremony of the year.
On the first day of the year, snow fell from the sky. The imperial court ordered that tonight Chang'an Jinwu couldn't help but shine brightly in the whole city.
The sky is not clear, the snow is accumulating, the servants of Jingzhao Yifu Temple and Chengdan have cleared the snow all over the city early, and hundreds of officials have entered the court one after another, and they are full of ministers for a while.
At the beginning of the hour, the Son of Heaven took hundreds of officials to the high temple to worship, and in the next few days, he also went to the Ming Hall, Lingtai and Ganquan Palace outside the West City to worship the five emperors; also went to Shanglin Yuan to hold the Son of Heaven ploughing ceremony; There is also a series of activities such as the big shooter.
After that, following the example of previous years, the Son of Heaven gave a banquet to hundreds of officials.
During the palace banquet, Zhang Fang saw Ban's third son, Banzhi, who came with the class. Zhang Fang still remembers that when she first met Ban Yuanjun in the Sanshui Country, she went there to visit this brother. At that time, Ban Zhi seemed to be Sima Cheng of the Sanshui Governor's Mansion. After careful questioning, sure enough, the memory was correct, but this time Ban Zhi did not go to Beijing with his father to participate in the celebration, and with a petty official like him, he was not qualified to take leave to go to Beijing to participate in the ceremony. He was promoted, entered Beijing to become a Lang official, although he did not have a fixed position, but he was covered by Zhang Fang, the future brother-in-law, plus his own talent and learning, and he could get a good career.
How is the class learned? Although Zhang Fang only spoke a few words in a short period of time, he also felt that this brother-in-law was quite material, and he was worthy of being a talent with solid grassroots work experience at the border. Well, that's because Zhang Fang doesn't know the excellent genes of Ban Zhi's brother-in-law - in the future, his son will be Ban Biao, a famous Confucian and historian. The grandchildren are even more awesome: Ban Gu, Ban Chao, Ban Zhao! One is better than a cow, and it is really a full family of heroes who can write history and martial arts.
Coming out of the palace, Zhang Fang specially invited the father and son to ride in the same car. The class was happy to get into the car, but the three sons did not dare, and got into their own ox cart - this cart is not something that anyone can sit in.
As soon as he sat in the car, he was not polite to regard Zhang Fang as his son-in-law, and directly said his plan: "I plan to move the family to Chang'an Maoling, what do you think?" ā
Zhang Fang was stunned, and immediately understood, probably the old man saw that the family affairs had been decided, and he had his own big backer, and he was ready to give up the life of a local tyrant in a "third-tier small city", and also wanted to become a "capital person". Well, it's not surprising to have such thoughts, as a person from the 21st century, I know best. But......
Zhang Fang shook his head: "I advise my uncle not to think about it first." ā
The class didn't expect the prospective son-in-law to dissuade him at all, and couldn't help but wonder: "Why is this?" Could it be ...... Is the situation in Beijing still unstable? ā
Zhang Fang nodded: "Uncle's expectations are not bad, the situation in the DPRK and China is indeed unstable, if my expectations are good, the biggest leaders will still have to fight." If my uncle enters Beijing, I am afraid that he will inevitably have to stand in line. Once you make a mistake, it's not as simple as one person suffering. ā
The class thought for a while and said, "Originally, I wanted to be transferred to the Northern Military Academy and not participate in political affairs...... However, I am at the border, and I don't see the situation of the DPRK and China as clearly as my nephew. The virtuous nephew is very reasonable, and I will discuss it with my people when I go back......"
Zhang Fang was humble, in fact, he only said the superficial reason, the real reason was that he did not want the Ban family to move to Chang'an. Because even he doesn't know if he can stay in Chang'an in the future. He has a deep enough relationship with the Liang Zi of the Wang family, except for Wang Feng, almost everyone in the Wang family is eager to bite him - including a queen mother, which makes people feel chilled to think about it.
And now the reason why Wang Feng has repeatedly shown favor is not because he is bullshit and generous, but because he has no time to make a move, once he pulls out all the biggest obstacles in the court, he will be the next target......
The Wang family is half the world, and he Zhang Fang wants to go against half the world, how can he not reserve a good way back, and how can he let the Ban family get involved in a daze?
In the car, Weng and his son-in-law sat opposite each other, but they had their own thoughts.
Xuanche drove into Ban's house in the snowstorm, Zhang put down the car and sent Ban Guo home, all the way to the atrium, and was about to leave, but Ban Zhi reached out and grabbed his sleeve, and pointed to the attic with a smile: "Yi Xiao, look who it is." ā
Zhang Fang raised his head, his eyes were full of snow grains, behind the railing of the attic, Yiren was wrapped in snow fur, green silk like ink, eyebrows and eyes were clear, and the slightly curved arc was just like the gentleness of the year......
Zhang put his negative hand and looked up, and the Yiren looked at it by the railing, and the snow was like a curtain, separated between the two...... At this moment, the heavens and the earth were silent, and even the flying snow particles seemed to become slow mirrors......
Silence is better than sound at this point. (To be continued.) )
