Chapter 0208 - Strive for Happiness
"The Origin of Things" has clouds: the winter solstice is yangsheng, and the gentleman is long. So congratulations
Tomorrow is the winter solstice, since the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, Tang Gaozu has a purpose: every year on the winter solstice to worship Haotian God in the mound.
Yuanqiu is commonly known as the Temple of Heaven, its altar is in Chang'an Mingde Gate outside the road east two miles, the emperor has to get up in the middle of the night, first in the Hanyuan Hall to accept the hundred officials to congratulate, and then take the hundred officials to go to the Vermilion Bird Street, out of the Mingde Gate, to the Yuanqiu worship the sky.
The so-called major events of the country are enshrined in Rong. In this era of divine monarchy, the emperor must show the legitimacy of the monarchy by worshipping the heavens, which is the basis for the emperor to rule the world, and he must not be sloppy.
After the emperor worships the heavens, it is inevitable that all the rewards will be given to the hundred officials, and the hundred officials who have been rewarded will usually hold a banquet in the evening to congratulate them.
The winter solstice banquet of the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, if you are fortunate enough to be invited, it is conceivable that it must be the upper class of the minister, and even the invitations are gilded, just from this point you can get a glimpse of how grand the banquet is.
And Li Ang was just a mover who entered Beijing to take the exam, and he even received an invitation from Zuo Xiangfu, and it was personally sent by Zuo Xianggong's eldest son.
Tang Yu, Wei Ruliang, Di Yuan, and Wu Ziqing were excited and envious, pulling Li Ang and not letting go, relatives!
Ordinary movers, running under the Zhu Sect every day, after expelling the car dust, just so that the powerful can take a look at their own books and strive for a chance to recommend.
Like Li Bai, Du Fu and others, in order to get ahead, they have all written poems and patted the sycophants of the powerful, and everyone does not regard this as a shame, after all, before you are still a small person, it is normal to beg for a big person.
Now Leon has a way, and it's a shortcut to the south. Tang Yu and the others would not let go of such an opportunity, and stuffed the line into his hands one by one. Then he solemnly bowed: "Please, Brother Day!" ”
Li Ang put away their scrolls, and then said, "Rest assured, brothers. In the decision to turn your scroll to the left. ”
"Brother Sun, don't forget to say a few kind words for us."
"Yes, yes, yes!"
"Be sure to say a few kind words."
Li Ang smiled: "Of course, brothers, it is better to be happy alone than to be happy, if you have the opportunity, I will definitely take you to the Prime Minister's Mansion to visit." ”
"Great!" Wei Ruliang couldn't help but high-five him first, "Brother Sun's support, we will remember it for the rest of our lives, please accept my worship first." ”
"Hey! Get up, get up. You don't have to be like this, these things are limited in what you can help, you don't have to do that. ”
Li Ang supported this, pulled that, and finally helped a few excited friends up, and there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, only to see Cheng Guan appear outside the door, and saluted Li Ang: "Lang Jun." You're done! ”
That's right, the efficiency of Wannian County is still quite fast. Li Ang said to Cheng Guan: "Brother Cheng, come in, it's all your own people." ”
into the room. He saluted Tang Yu and the others before he continued: "Lang Jun, this is the deed and key. Please put it away, Liu Jiaxiao Langjun and Steward Liu will be early tomorrow morning. will leave the capital, do you want to choose an auspicious day for the zodiac. Move in again. ”
Li Ang said freely: "Hazy and rich, there is no need to look at any auspicious days of the zodiac. ”
"Lang Jun, then you have to add some household belongings, and buy a few servants to take care of it, if Lang Jun has no leisure, these things will be handed over to his subordinates."
"That's it, you come by car tomorrow, let's go shopping in the East Market together."
"Okay, Lang Jun, if you don't have other instructions, your subordinates will retire first."
After Chengguan left, Tang Yu and the others couldn't help but surround him and asked, "Brother Sun, have you bought a house in Chang'an?" ”
"Where did you buy it?"
"Spent a lot of money, didn't you?"
Envy, the most envious is that Li Ang dares to buy a house in Chang'an, Chang'an housing prices are very expensive, money is still secondary, and the average lifter doesn't know if he can be on the list, so even if he has money, he will not be in a hurry to buy a house;
Li Ang has even bought the house now, coupled with the gilded invitation card of the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, in Tang Yu's opinion, Li Ang's inclusion on the list is probably a sure thing.
Li Ang asked, "Brothers, what are the arrangements for tomorrow?" ”
"Tomorrow, we are going to the southern suburbs to watch the Son of Heaven worship the heavens." Tomorrow is the winter solstice, and hundreds of officials in the court, as well as meritorious heroes and nobles, will go with the emperor to worship the heavens, even if they want to go to which house to hand over the scroll, others are not at home.
"Okay, let's go take a look." Li Ang said, "My house is in the north of Chunfeng Street in Chongrenfang, tomorrow I will go to buy some household goods, and the day after tomorrow, all the brothers will move in with me, everyone lives together, not only lively, but also convenient to ask each other for advice, you brothers must not refuse, or I will not treat Li Ang as a friend, hahaha..."
To be able to live with Li Ang, the star of hope, Tang Yu and the four of them couldn't ask for it, so they agreed.
There was nothing to say all night, and Li Ang slept lazily the next day, there was no way, the east and west cities of Chang'an would not open until noon.
When he got up, Tang Yu and the others had already gone to the southern suburbs to see the Son of Heaven worshipping the heavens, and after freshening up, Li Ang went downstairs and unexpectedly saw Xiao Luan waiting downstairs with two maids, she was wearing a white mink hat, reflecting a pretty face like flowers and jade, and her body was covered with a stone blue carved silk gray squirrel, graceful and luxurious, and Tingting jade.
Xiao Luan changed his previous state of being a little melancholy, and said with a smile: "Li Lang bought a house, he always has to buy some household goods, the slave is afraid that Li Lang will not be able to be busy alone, so he brought some people to help, Li Lang will not turn the slave away, right?" ”
"Hahaha, Mrs. Xiao is gracious, it's too late for me to be grateful, how can I turn it away."
Only then did Li Ang realize that there were several large cars parked outside the door, and there were ten other entourages.
If you drive a car by yourself, you will be inferior to others.
Xiao Luan smiled: "Li Lang hasn't eaten yet, right?" Why don't we go to the city and dine together? ”
"Okay!"
Xiao Luan's enthusiasm made Li Ang unable to refuse.
Xiao Luan glanced at him, the smile on his face became thicker, after meeting by chance yesterday, Li Ang invited her to go in to see the house together, which made her mentality quietly change.
It is said that the right prime minister Li Linfu once invited many young handsome people to his home as guests, and then let his daughter choose her own son-in-law, and others can choose their own husbands, why can't they take the initiative to pursue their own happiness?
What's more, Leon is still her hope.
After a night of thinking, she decided not to give up easily, and worked hard for her own happiness, even if she couldn't get anything in the end, but at least she would not regret it in the future after her efforts.
With this state of mind, Xiao Luan took the initiative to find Chongrenfang today, she believes that as long as you pay sincerely, with gentleness, in the end, the steel will always turn into a soft finger.
