Chapter 328: Tanabata (Part II)
- The official family did not fall ill as people imagined, or even collapsed, which made the hundred officials have to put away their careful thoughts and continue to be a good monk and hit the clock...... It's also what they're most used to and what they're best at.
On the seventh day of the seventh month of July, a decree came out of the palace, and on charges of not being careful, he went out of the harem Liu and other ten pavilions and sent them to live in Nanjing Baiyun Temple. and let 236 people out of the palace and let them marry......
This edict finally confirmed people's speculation during this time, but everyone's focus was not on the fact that the emperor was cuckolded, but the legendary prince who was about to be born disappeared without a trace.
Although Concubine Zhou and Concubine Dong in the palace are still pregnant, everyone knows that it is impossible for the official family to have a prince......
It was still the seventh day of the seventh month of July, Zhao Zongshi returned from the Daimyo Mansion, because Zhao Zongfu had been posthumously crowned as the king of the county, according to the funeral ceremony of the king of the county, since Zaifu and below, all officials had to go out of the city to greet him.
On the morning of this day, the long pavilion ten miles north of Bianliang City was already full of high-ranking officials from the sedan chair horse race, hundreds of middle and senior officials from the six departments and 24 divisions of the three provinces, and the princes and nobles of the city, all rushed to greet the coffin of the king of Huaiyin County. The emperor and empress also sent people to pay tribute and pay tribute. Zhao Zongfu didn't show his face when he was alive, but after he died, he was full of grief.
But instead of sadness, many people have strange expressions on their faces...... Although the Daimyo's Mansion strictly sealed the cause of Zhao Zongfu's death, the fact that he died in a brothel could not be concealed no matter what. This news has been spread in the capital since the day before yesterday, and now it is well known to everyone that the scholars of the Great Song Dynasty have not even wanted to be flattered. Many people felt that it was an insult to the Great Song Dynasty to crown a prostitute who died in a brothel.
It's just that first, the wood has been completed, secondly, the dead are the greatest, and thirdly, Zhao Zongshi has almost determined the position of the prince, and everyone has no reason to be this wicked person, so they all look on coldly. Look at those who tend to be inflammatory, a face full of Qi. Tears and rain ripples, acting in a living ugly drama.
Zhao Zongshi has gathered as a godbrother, all dressed in white and wearing filial piety, and in the sound of mourning music, he slowly walked away with the coffin. If there are more brothers, the feelings are not deep, except for Zhao Zongfu's half-brother, the rest of the twenty brothers really don't have much sadness. Instead, he looked at the scene of white flags and banners on both sides of the road, and talked in a whisper. I only heard the seventh Zhao Zongqiu say: "Fishing for this." The fourth child is also worth it. Look at that couplet, how apt it is......"
"Which one?"
As soon as the taste of "that ......" came back, Zhao Zongqiu's face turned green. Said angrily: "Who sent this couplet?" ”
His voice was so loud that he even stopped mourning, and everyone's eyes were drawn. Following his line of sight, he saw the elegiac couplet:
'Peony flowers die, and ghosts are also beautiful'!
Many people couldn't help but laugh, but the faces of the Zhao brothers were all darker than the bottom of the pot.
Zhao Zongshi glanced at Zhao Zongqiu angrily, and scolded in his heart: "What are you calling blindly, lest others not see it?!" ’
The guard Lao He hurriedly led people over and ripped off the couplet with bamboo poles and trees on the side of the road.
"It's just a little trouble, don't let him succeed." Zhao Zongshi's master, Liu Chang, said in a low voice: "Calm down and turn a blind eye!" ”
Then the mourning music resumed, and the coffin went on. But the solemn and sad atmosphere will never come back.
In the next journey, the Zhao brothers lost their sense of scenery, and they always felt that the officials were pointing and laughing at them. Zhao Zongshi's face turned even red, he was actually against posthumously crowning Zhao Zongfu as king. I hope to return to Beijing in a low-key manner, after all, this fight is too disgraceful, but the court has to make a grand arrangement, and he can only bear it, what is the result. It's a shame......
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Although Chen Ke was at home on vacation, he couldn't put the contradiction with Zhao Zongshi's family in the open. The two brothers Su Shi also changed into plain clothes, mixed in the official team, and watched coldly from afar.
"Hahaha......" Back at home, Su Shi couldn't help laughing out loud: "Happy, I don't know which brother is going to break through the sky in one word, and wait for me to get this bird breath." "He is the one with the strongest sense of morality among the three, since he knew the cause of Zhao Zongfu's death, he has been awkward in a hundred, if it weren't for Chen Ke and Su Zhe to stop him, he would have to write a couplet, and satirize the virtuous prince who died for the country.
"Come back and think about it, how do you think that today's grand arrangement is just to let their brother show his eyes?" Su Zhe said worriedly: "If that's the case, I'm afraid that Zhao Zongshi's position as the crown prince is not as natural as rumored." ”
is inferior to his brother in terms of eloquence, but when it comes to political wisdom, Su Shi is out of reach. He thought that it was Zhao Zongji's father, Zhao Yunbi, who knew Zongzong's temple. It was also Zhao Yunbi who sought the posthumous title of the county king for Zhao Zongfu in front of the official family, and has always advocated extreme mourning.
Assuming that Zhao Yunbi had known that Zhao Zongfu had died in a brothel, then his speculation would have been valid...... Youdao is a father and son soldier in battle, Zhao Yunbi has no reason not to help his son, making Zhao Zongshi's brothers embarrassed and conspicuous.
Chen Ke looked at Su Zhe and didn't answer: "Whatever, if you don't accompany Mrs., I'm going to pick up my little sister to go shopping." ”
"It's too confused, today is Tanabata." Su Shi smiled: "If you are not at home for the holidays, where are you going?" ”
"Oh, today is Tanabata, why do I say that there are so many 'Run-in Luo'?" Chen Ke scratched his head and said, "Then don't go out." ”
Qixi Festival, not as later generations take for granted, is the traditional Chinese Valentine's Day, in fact, the Shangyuan Festival is. On this night, women should dress up, display flowers and fruits, female red, all kinds of furniture and utensils, worship the seventh sister, and beg for needles. The people of Bianjing City also have to tie up the color building in the courtyard, called the 'begging building', in order to place the 'run-in Luo'.
The so-called 'Run-in-Luo', commonly known as 'mud children', and southerners also call it 'Qiao'er', as the name suggests, are cute mud dolls, which are used by women to worship the moon and ask for children.
This day is a festival for women's families, and Chen Ke naturally doesn't want his little sister to slip away. Then he returned home. Back at home, the Cao family was also celebrating the festival, making a good house and making a show. Chen Xiliang, Chen Chen, and Chen Yu were also instructed to turn around, there was no way, who made the woman the biggest on this day.
Taking advantage of the fact that the Cao family didn't see him, Chen Ke tiptoed back to his courtyard, only to see that the group of widows were also setting up a melon and fruit feast. Suddenly said helplessly: "Why do you also spend the Chinese Valentine's Day?" ”
"Qixi begging is a Han ceremony. It has been in Japan for hundreds of years. "The widow girl Arou and Acai walked over in small steps. While changing Chen Ke's clothes, he pursed his lips and smiled: "If you don't like it, we will withdraw." ”
"There's nothing to dislike. I also want to see how you are begging," Chen Ke smiled and asked, "What about Qingshuang?" ”
"The branch woman is 'planting' in the backyard." Arou leaned into his ear and whispered: "Actually, the slave also wants to plant one, but I don't know when the adult will be gracious?" "It seems that Daughter's Day is different, even the widow who has always been cautious has become bold.
Chen Ke laughed. After laughing, he pinched Arou's little face and said, "In two years, I'm only fifteen or sixteen years old, what's the hurry?" ”
After speaking, ignore the widow who is so happy that she is dizzy. So he walked to the backyard. I saw Du Qingshuang kneeling on a straw mat, carefully taking care of her 'five life basins'.
It was a shallow square wooden basin with soil in it. A few days ago, she sowed the seeds of corn to give birth to green seedlings, and today she put some small huts, flowers and trees on top of them to make the appearance of a small village with a farm house. There are also dolls the size of peanut kernels, a man and a woman, and the woman is holding a baby in her arms......
"Seed and ask for children," Seeing Du Qingshuang stop, Chen Ke said loudly: "Qingshuang." Are you begging for a son? ”
Du Qingshuang's delicate body trembled, and she quickly turned around. Shaking his head and smiling, "No, it's just for fun." ”
"You can't ask for a fat boy if you don't have a heart." Chen Ke said with a smile.
"Yes......" Du Qingshuang was bluffed by him, so he said casually: "The concubine is asking for her daughter......"
"Look, it's time to be careful again." Chen Ke took her cold little hand and said softly: "Such a good girl, of course, she has to have both children and ......."
"Official ......" Du Qingshuang just couldn't stand his ironing, so she softened her delicate body and leaned gently on his side.
Chen Ke was about to get fussy when he suddenly heard a sound of broken footsteps, and Du Qingshuang hurriedly bounced away and tidied up his temples. Chen Ke turned his head, glared at the widow and said, "Arou, are you taking revenge on me?" ”
Ah Rou hurriedly apologized and said: "The slave doesn't dare, but there is a guest in front of me, and the master asks the adult to meet the guest." ”
"Oh." Chen Ke nodded and asked, "Who is it?" ”
"The slave doesn't know."
"Changing clothes."
"Hey."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After changing his clothes and coming to the front hall, Chen Ke was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly saluted: "The little nephew has seen the marshal." ”
"Haha," it turned out to be Di Qing, he got up and stepped forward, supported Chen Ke and said, "We are forgetting the New Year's friend, you should be polite." ”
"Isn't my dad here?" Chen Ke smiled bitterly.
"How do you talk to the marshal?" Chen Xiliang glared. He once served under Di Qing's account, and admired Di Qing's character, ability, and merits, and still met his superiors and subordinates.
"Alas, it's inconvenient to say more about this," Di Qing smiled at Chen Xiliang: "Gongbi, you just need to know that he has a great favor to me, and I can't put up a fight in front of him." ”
"The marshal is going to kill him." Chen Xiliang said apologetically and smiled: "The house is full of flowers, not hospitality. ”
"It's all the same, who made today Tanabata." Di Qing smiled bitterly and said, "But I'm not here to hide from Qingjing, but I have something to ask Zhong Fang!" ”
"What's wrong?" ——
