Chapter 503: Jiajing's Reward
PS. Present today's update, by the way, pull a vote for the "starting point" 515 fan festival, everyone has 8 votes, and the vote will also give the starting point coin, kneel and beg everyone to support and appreciate!
The wide eight-lane road, the sturdy three-way dirt road, the deep drainage ditches on both sides, the slope protection made of masonry, and the rows of trees and flowers outside, if the road surface is replaced with asphalt, it is not much different from the highway of later generations.
Especially every twenty miles, there is a rest stop, there are inns, restaurants, teahouses, and even a stage, where artists in colorful costumes are babbling and singing. The guests who rested were happy to see it, and they would throw a few copper coins, and at the end of the day, they would earn more than the ordinary temple fair.
Nearby people also ran to set up stalls on both sides of the road to buy some fruits, tea leaves, eggs and other things, and at the end of a good day, they even had an income of three or five hundred coppers. The people who have benefited from the straight road are more than tens of millions.
Along the way, Tang Yi kept nodding and admiring, "Master's mind is more delicate than mine, and he has thought of many unexpected things." I haven't seen you for a few years, and I really miss it. ”
Wang Yueying hugged her son and also showed a trace of emotion, "I haven't seen my eldest brother for almost ten years, and my second brother has been five years." Peace, we're going to see my uncle, aren't you happy? ”
Xiao Ping'an just flattened his mouth, blew out a cute little bubble, and continued to sleep.
"What a little lazy pig." Wang Yueying didn't have a good airway.
……
Walking on the smooth road, the carriage walked smoothly and quickly, and in almost two days, the family arrived outside the Chaoyang Gate, far away, looking at the tall city wall, Tang Yi had infinite emotion.
When you enter this door, you have to say goodbye to the past. He is no longer the Tang Xingzhi who calls for wind and rain and responds like a cloud, there are not many others in the capital, that is, there are many immortals from all walks of life, high-ranking officials in front of him, and old-timers with amazing qualifications. Grab a handful. For yourself, it's almost starting from scratch and beating down and retraining.
The ups and downs of the sea are refining a heart!
Enjoy the prosperity, endure the loneliness, pampered and humiliated, the wind and rain do not move, nothing can stump me!
Tang Yi clenched his fists and let his men drive the carriage. Walking towards the city, before entering the city gate, a large group of people were waiting there.
Standing at the front is Xu Wei, a big fat man who can hold two wide, and next to him are Wang Shimao, Cao Zichao and other friends in the same department who are in Beijing, and even Cao Dazhang, Zhang Siwei and others are here, more than 20 young officials, most of them are noble Hanlin, Tang Yi's appeal can be seen.
"Hahaha. Brother Xing is here! ”
The big guy strode up and greeted him warmly. Cao Dazhang said: "Brother Xing, Quanzhou, Hangzhou, Jinling, tsk, are all good places, you can enjoy these years, but leave us old brothers to eat sand in the capital." Nothing else, if you don't come up with something good, we won't agree! ”
Tang Yi smiled: "Okay, as soon as Brother Cheng, I know that you are not a good person." Take it and promise you like it. ”
As he spoke, he stuffed a red sandalwood box into Cao Dazhang's hand, it was heavy, and his eyes suddenly lit up, there are really good things!
Everyone followed suit, "Open it up!" ”
"Okay!" Cao Dazhang opened the box, only to see that there was a turquoise radish inside, with the thickness of an arm, and the leaves were complete, which was vivid.
"Good girl, this is jade, or jade! What a priceless goodie! As soon as Zhang Siwei said this, everyone else became interested, leaned over and scrambled to watch, but the more they looked at the big guy, the more they felt that something was wrong, and the sculpture was too similar, how could even the withered yellow on the leaves be so real.
Suddenly, Xu Wei snatched the radish with his hand, and took a sip, crunchy!
"Crisp and juicy, with a sweet taste, it is a radish from Shawo, delicious, delicious!" Xu Wei said vaguely, and the big guy looked at him with the same face as a radish.
Tang Yi smiled and took down a sack from the carriage, which contained dozens of radishes.
"It's all bought on the road, radish and pear, it's delicious or not spicy, and the big guys can try it! You're welcome! ”
Cao Dazhang rolled his eyes angrily, "Okay, you really send goose feathers thousands of miles?" ”
"Don't praise me!" Tang Yi turned around, and everyone had an extra radish in their hands.
Zhang Siwei said with a smile: "I understand, if you dare to be a big official, you have to practice your face first!" ”
"That's right, when can you cultivate a big radish face, you will be able to shepherd one side!" Cao Dazhang touched his face and said comically: "In my life, I'm afraid there is no hope." ”
It made everyone laugh and lean back together.
Talking and laughing, he hugged Tang Yi into the city, and the big guys all said goodbye, and in the end, only Xu Wei and Wang Shimao were left, and Xu Fatzi led the way in front, turning around and turning around, to an inconspicuous alley.
This alley is very interesting, the mouth of the alley is very small, you may not notice it when you pass by, but you go inside, but there is a big belly, just like a gourd.
In fact, this alley is called Hulu Hutong, go out from the back, pass through a street, that is, Qipantian Street, it is very convenient to go to each yamen, which is very in line with the purpose of being a low-key person.
Came to the innermost one, the tall blue brick gatehouse, full of style, with a couplet pasted on the door, 'The court has Yu Xiang Xie Cao Zheng Lan Yan Gui Shu, and there is no other situation Tang Shi Jin character Han article', four words horizontally: Wenguang Shooting Bucket. Tang Yi read it again, and his old face was flushed with sweat.
"It's over, it's too much!"
Xu Wei smiled: "Okay, you are a dignified six yuan, if you can't afford this couplet, who can afford it?" ”
"That's it!" Wang Shimao said: "I can tell you, this couplet was inscribed by Mr. Jing Chuan, and the elders dare not resign, do you dare to refuse?" ”
"How dare I do that."
A couplet is nothing, Tang Yi stepped in, bypassing the shadow wall, a spacious courtyard, appeared in front of him, the tall ancient acacia soared straight into the sky, the garden was densely turned, full of all kinds of trees, because it was winter, it was covered with a layer of snow, and when the spring flowers bloomed, it must be lush with vegetation and pleasant aroma, comparable to a fairyland on earth.
Walking in the superhand verandah, surrounded by a pool of streams at his feet, Xu Wei smiled proudly: "Okay, water has aura, and it is the best for the master." Do you know that this Yanjing is not as good as Jiangnan, and it took a lot of effort to find a yard with living water. When they are all civilized, they put on their fishing rods and are more at ease. Don't change a ginger tooth! ”
"It's Jiang Ziya who doesn't change!"
Tang Yi scolded with a smile, most likely because Xu Fatzi wanted to eat live fish, so he chose such a place. All the way to the main room, there is another couplet in front of the door, "The rain passes through the piano and the rhyme, and the wind comes to the fragrance of ink." "Horizontal criticism is: read widely and read more.
"That's pretty much it."
Walking in, a family member had already offered fragrant tea, and after everyone said a few words, Wang Shimao said: "Okay." The journey is tired, you rest early, and when you go back, Your Majesty will summon you, so we won't bother much. ”
Although Xu Wei had a stomach, he could only get up and say goodbye.
"Wait, Jingmei, where did your eldest brother go?"
Wang Shimao's face was sad, "This." The eldest brother went to Tanzhe Temple and heard that he wanted to cultivate his mind. ”
Tang Yi sneered. "Bring the pen!"
picked up a big pen and wrote two big characters of dragon flying and phoenix dancing, "Willing!" ”
"Go and send it to your eldest brother, so that he can come to me again when he understands it."
"Oh." Wang Shimao dried the ink and left in a hurry with Xu Wei.
Sending them away, Tang Yi was indeed tired enough. Stretching his waist, he got up and walked to the backyard, ready to fill his stomach, and stepped past the weeping flower gate. There was a cluster of pines and cypresses, less than a man tall. It has a big snow hat on it, which is very interesting. A shy woman under the tree was reaching out to grab the white snow and clutching it into snowballs.
The cold snow made her little hands red, and the girl put her fingers to her mouth from time to time, and she couldn't wait to catch the snow and play.
"Hey, what a naughty girl!"
Tang Yi stretched out his big hand and grabbed Wang Yueying's jade hand in his arms. Seeing that it was her husband, Wang Yueying lowered her head, her little face flushed, "There is no such big snow in Jiangnan!" ”
"Well, that can't freeze either." Tang Yi doted: "Let's go eat first, and let's build a big snowman when we go back!" ”
"Really?"
"When did I lie to you!"
Wang Yueying showed a sweet smile and ate a meal hastily, the two of them really put on thick leather jackets, armed neatly, only showing a small face the size of a palm, Tang Yi carried a shovel and piled up the snow together. Wang Yueying carefully groomed, eyes, nose, mouth, and soon a huge snowman was freshly baked under the cooperation of husband and wife.
The two of them made a slightly smaller snowman next to them, snuggling up tightly together, just like two people.
"Brother, this is our new home, never separate!"
Tang Yi didn't speak, just hugged his wife hard, feeling each other's existence, relaxed and calm......
It's been three days since I arrived in the capital, and according to the normal situation, Jiajing should summon himself, right?
Anyway, Tang Yi also boasted of being a favored minister, so he hung it up, wasn't it a slap in the face? Although Tang Yi is calm on the surface, he is playing drums in his heart, don't Jiajing know his secret actions, trick himself into Beijing, put him under house arrest, and find an opportunity to cut off his head!
Thinking of this, Tang Yi had the urge to run away with his wife and children.
It wasn't until the fourth day that Huang Jin arrived at his home, and when old friends met, Tang Yi went straight in, "I said Huang Gonggong, what is Your Majesty doing these days?" ”
Huang Jin smiled helplessly, "Lord Tang, are you in a hurry?" ”
"Can I not be in a hurry? It's very uncomfortable if you can't go up or down! ”
Huang Jin said with a smile: "Lord Tang, don't worry, the most reassuring thing for the emperor in this world is you, a few years ago, the emperor talked to the slave and maid, saying that he would arrange a good position for you." ”
"Then why didn't you summon me?"
"It's not just you, Lord Tang, even Elder Yan Ge and Elder Xu Ge can't see the emperor. In previous years, the emperor retreated until the fifteenth day of the first month, but this year it was added for half a month, and it was not until the second dragon raised his head in February that the emperor came out! No, just after leaving the customs, let the slave and maid come over and send a bottle of divine water to Lord Tang, tsk, this grace is only kept by Mrs. Lu, and the two elders can't compare. ”
As he spoke, Huang Jin put a small jar in front of Tang Yi and opened the cover. Tang Yi's heart chuckled, he was not sensitive to Jiajing's hobby, those pills made of lead and mercury can't make people go to heaven, they can only make people go to the west heaven, this so-called divine water is mostly nonsense.
"Grandpa Huang, where did this come from?" Tang Yi asked vigilantly.
