Chapter 0110 - Deputy Envoy for the Great Wedding
Yang Ling followed Princess Yongchun all the way to the Ten Princes' Mansion. The inner palace is stricter than the outer court, although there is Princess Yongchun leading, the palace guards still stepped forward to stop them, and when they saw the emperor's group dragon Yupei, they retreated in a panic.
Yang Ling was following the little princess with a sad face, and suddenly saw a pale yellow figure flashing in front of a rockery pond in the distance, Yang Ling saw that it was Princess Yongfu leading the two palace maids to throw food into the water across the corridor, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed, he grabbed a few steps like a savior, and shouted from afar: "Weichen Yang Ling see Her Royal Highness the eldest princess."
Princess Yongfu turned around in surprise and saw that Yang Ling's eyebrows were first happy, and then she said in confusion: "General Yang, why did you come to the harem?" ”
She glanced at the imperial sister and exclaimed, "You brought General Yang in?" Why don't you send the general back quickly, can you enter this harem forbidden land casually? ”
Yongchun said proudly: "Sister, I went to the imperial brother to sue Aunt Ning Qing for the royal complaint, it was the imperial brother who asked Yang Ling to help my aunt get angry, isn't it, Lord Yang?" ”
Princess Yongfu looked at her sister, and then looked at Yang Ling's dry laughter, she couldn't help but be angry and funny, her royal brother has always done things nonsense, and now the royal family's own affairs are not handed over to the Zongren Mansion to deal with, and she actually sent a general to ask about the case, is this going to war?
Princess Yongfu thought of what happened to the royal princesses after marriage, and couldn't help but sigh faintly: "Alas, it is difficult for Qing officials to cut off family affairs, and who can change the rules handed down by their ancestors?" Why should you be embarrassed by General Yang."
Princess Yongchun said curiously: "Why does my sister say that? Didn't you tell me that the imperial aunt of today is the future of you and me, who will live alone in the deep palace at that time, like a bird in a cage, saying that the sky is high and the sea is wide, but it is lonely and sleepless at night, and there is not even a confidant to talk to by the pillow? I am now looking for the royal brother to vent my anger for my aunt, suppress their arrogance, and save one day we will also suffer from their idleness, what's wrong? ”
The girl's selfish words now made the little trumpet shout loudly, Princess Yongfu was angry and ashamed, she stomped her feet hatefully, and pointed at her sister angrily: "You you."
Yang Ling looked at the two sisters arguing, and coughed twice with a smile: "Your Royal Highness Princess, the emperor ordered Wechen to go to Princess Ningqing to inquire about this matter, but after all, this is a royal matter, Wechen is really not easy to intervene, if the princess is convenient, Wechen wants to invite the princess to go to testify, and it is convenient for Wechen to reply to the emperor."
Princess Yongfu glanced at Yang Ling, saw that he looked at Yongchun in a hurry, and was so anxious that she glanced at herself, and suddenly understood a little in her heart, she bit her lip and thought about it for a while, and said with a smile: "Okay, this princess is going to meet her aunt, so let's go with my little sister."
As she spoke, she walked over and took Yongchun's hand, looked back and smiled at Yang Lingwan, and walked away first. With Princess Yongfu by her side, Yang Ling couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief, that unruly little princess surnamed is quite like a brother, impulsive and reckless, if she annoys her, maybe she will be framed by her, and it will be much safer to have Princess Yongfu accompany her throughout the process.
Princess Yongchun took her sister's hand, walked into the palace of Princess Ningqing of the Ten Princes' Mansion proudly, and as soon as she entered the main hall, she coldly reprimanded the maid who greeted her: "Tell the chief manager to come out to see me!" ”
Princess Yongchun and Princess Ningqing have a very good relationship, they often come to the house to walk around, and the people in the princess's mansion recognize her. After a while, the female official of Princess Ningqing's mansion who got the message came out with a long time, and saw the two princesses hurriedly take two steps forward, bowed down and said: "The slave maid meets the eldest princess and Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, do you want to see Princess Ningqing?" ”
This female official slid her movements, her behavior was like flowing water, her posture was clean and neat, and her strands were graceful and elegant, which was very attractive.
Yongchun snorted from his nose, raised his chin and said, "Don't be busy beckoning your aunt to come out, this princess is here to see you today."
The female official had just gotten up, and when she heard this, she couldn't help but be surprised: "Her Royal Highness the princess wants to see the slave?" How do you say this, if Your Highness has anything to do, you just need to summon it, the slave and maid are not rushing away, how dare you work for the princess, this is to kill the slave and maid."
Yongchun sat on the Jindun and sneered: "What do you dare not do?" You dare to drive the concubine out of the house, dare to run to the queen mother to sue the princess for the black state, so that the imperial aunt can only cry in her stomach, how dare I greet you with such a big ability? ”
Yang Ling originally thought that this female official of the princess's mansion must be a tricky mother-in-law like a concubine, but look at this female official of the princess's mansion, she is only about forty years old, and she is very well maintained, her skin is white and her flesh is tender, and her charm is quite good.
When the female official heard what Yongchun said, she couldn't help but smile, and said: "The slave and maid are wondering, how can Her Royal Highness the princess seem to be angry with someone, it turns out that she thinks that the slave and the maid are bullying the master with slaves."
The female official knelt down with a smile as she spoke, and said with a compromised face: "The slave maid entered the palace at the age of five, learned the etiquette of court dance and music, served the empress dowager and her old man, Princess Ningqing Xu was matched with a horse, and it was the first emperor Hongzhi Ye who ordered the slave maid to serve as the female official of the princess's mansion, take care of the princess's daily life, and take care of the affairs of the princess's mansion.
Speaking of horses, the affairs of the Son of Heaven's family should not be a slave and a maid, but the rules of the Son of Heaven's family are not comparable to the people, and the emperor still has a respectful room to take care of everything, can the princess's mansion be sloppy?
The concubine often enters the palace without permission, and often returns drunk, so swaggering, so that the courtiers look at it, doesn't it lose the royal dignity? Although the slave and maid are a female stream, but they are also given the holy decree, the first emperor trusted, and promised the slave and maid this messenger, and the slave and maid also knew that this was an envoy who offended people everywhere and did not eat inside and outside, but even if they were beaten to death, they did not dare to pretend to be deaf and dumb.
The servant waited for the Empress Dowager, and then waited for Her Royal Highness Ning Qing, she has always been cautious, and she didn't dare to be sloppy in everything, if Her Royal Highness the princess thinks that the slave and maid are wrong, then kill the slave and maid."
The female official said with tears down, and turned her head to the palace maids and eunuchs gathered in the palace and said: "Go, take the flog, the slave maid has offended Her Royal Highness Princess Yongchun, and now it will be up to Her Royal Highness the Princess to be killed, royal decency is important, you are not allowed to go out and talk nonsense."
When those palace maids and eunuchs heard this, they immediately knelt on the ground, and begged one after another: "Your Royal Highness the princess spare your life, Chief Manager Lu is loyal to the master, and the servants have all seen it with their own eyes, Her Royal Highness the princess is gracious!" ”
Princess Yongchun was so angry that she couldn't speak, this female official Lu kept saying that the empress dowager and the first emperor, that posture was quite like Yang Ling's means at the feast, and Princess Yongchun had no way to take this minion.
Yang Ling looked at her face and tone, she really said that she was loyal to maintain royal etiquette, maybe the horse master really made too much trouble, but unfortunately although this female official saw him, she was still regarded as Yongchun's temporary errand and got a brocade guard to deal with her, but she didn't know Yang Ling's true identity, and this play was too late.
Yang Ling watched coldly, and when he saw those palace maids and eunuchs looking at this woman who kept saying slaves and slaves, their eyes were even more awe than when they looked at Yongfu and Yongchun, and they already understood a little bit in their hearts.
He smiled slightly, slowly paced in front of the female official surnamed Lu, leaned over and said, "Manager Lu, please get up, Her Royal Highness the princess just saw that Princess Ning Qing was sad and was in a hurry."
You uphold the will of the emperor and maintain the dignity of the royal family, not only are you guilty, but you are meritorious, but you are dedicated to the main thing, but this method is a little too intense, doesn't it make Princess Ning Qing uncomfortable? I should ask Her Royal Highness the princess for my guilt."
Chief Manager Lu wanted to pretend to be a loyal servant and reprimand the forbidden army officer for being disrespectful and humble, and to speak in front of the princess, but when he heard this tone as if he was speaking on her side, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Is your lord the palace guard general?" What you said is that the slave and maid were afraid that Xue Yuma would break the rules of the palace, so she was in a hurry and forced him out of the palace, which really hurt the face of Her Royal Highness the princess, and the slave and maid asked Her Royal Highness the princess for guilt", and stood up without waiting for Princess Yongchun's permission.
As soon as she stood up, Yang Ling smelled a faint smell of wine on her, Yang Ling didn't say anything, he straightened his waist, and put one hand behind him like Yongfu and Yongchun, the two princesses, and waved it, signaling them not to be silent, while saying: "This official is Yang Ling, the general of the left sentry army of the Shenji Battalion, not the commander of the palace guards, the emperor heard about it, and asked the official to ask for an understanding."
When Mr. Lu heard that it was Yang Ling, he couldn't help but be surprised and delighted, it was really his own person, I heard that Mr. Ma and Mr. Gu's fathers-in-law had a very friendly relationship with him, and the emperor sent him a foreign minister to investigate this matter, it must be Mr. Ma's words to the emperor, hehe, he spoke for himself in front of the emperor, and the empress dowager listened to herself and believed in herself, even if there were ten or eight princesses?
Mr. Lu couldn't hide the pride in his heart, and glanced at the two little princesses defiantly, Princess Yongchun rushed up when she saw it, and almost jumped like thunder again, Princess Yongfu reached into her waist with a hand next to her and pinched it gently, Yongchun then woke up, calmed down and snorted coldly.
Princess Yongfu saw Yang Ling's gesture, and then heard him speak and knew that he must have good intentions, and had already secretly instructed her sister not to act rashly, obviously the people up and down the princess's mansion were all bought and controlled by Chief Manager Lu, even if the emperor came in person, it is estimated that no one will help Princess Ning Qing speak, this confused lawsuit will not be won at all, maybe this Yang Shen General really has a way.
Yang Ling smiled even more kindly, and bowed his hand to Manager Lu: "The emperor sent Weichen to question, and I hope that the chief manager will tell the official the whole story, and the official can also reply to the emperor."
Mr. Lu was not so easily gullible, but Yang Ling and Ma Yongcheng and others had a very good relationship, and it was a well-known thing in the palace and outside the palace, and this kind of emperor's family affairs sent a foreign minister to be a strange thing that had never been seen in ancient times, except that it was because the two princesses sued the emperor and Ma Yongcheng spoke to the emperor in advance, otherwise this kind of strange thing would not make sense at all, plus Yang Ling's words and aura were even more open to her, and Mr. Lu had already been suspicious, so he added oil and vinegar to make the horse master not abide by the rules of the palace. often talked about entering and leaving the palace without her permission, and even dared to talk nonsense in front of the two princesses, and the horse entered the palace to borrow wine and pretend to be drunk and molested the palace maid.
Yang Ling sneered secretly when he heard this: Unless this horse master is impatient, is there no beautiful woman outside the palace? He finally came to see his wife once, and he actually teased a few mediocre-looking palace maids around his wife?
Yang Ling calmed down and listened to what she said, and immediately smiled: "I see, this official will go to the emperor to return to him, but Manager Lu is loyal to his duties, and he must also pay attention to the method." The emperor said that there are all kinds of opportunities, how busy he is, he can't handle the major affairs of the court and politics, this kind of thing will not make the princess angry again in the future, and let the emperor follow him."
Manager Lu smiled heartily and hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, don't worry, my lord."
Yang Ling Shi Ran turned around, glanced at Princess Yongfu quickly, and then said: "Two highnesses, Weichen has already asked what happened, so go and return to the emperor."
Although Princess Yongchun was full of doubts, she was still furious when she heard it, and she said with a blushing face: "You ask Ming, do you just listen to her side and go back to the imperial brother?" ”
Yang Ling glared at her, and then anxiously winked at Princess Yongfu, crooked his mouth, and then said with a look of resignation: "The emperor wants Weichen to inquire about this matter, this investigation and questioning, naturally ask the people in the princess's mansion, does Weichen dare to ask Princess Ning Qing to come out to confront him?" Now that the palace maids and eunuchs of Her Royal Highness the Princess are all witnesses, how can it be said that it is the words of Chief Manager Lu? Your Royal Highness, the emperor is still waiting for the ministers, and the ministers will retire."
Yang Ling walked out of the hall as he spoke, and Manager Lu saw that Yang Ling didn't pay much attention to the two princesses, and he was even more proud in his heart. As soon as Yang Ling came out of the palace, a sneering smile appeared on her beautiful and dignified face, and she seemed to say respectfully: "Her Royal Highness the princess, are you going to see Princess Ning Qing?" Ouch, as soon as the two princesses entered the door, they asked the teacher for their guilt, and the slave maid was in a panic, and they forgot to serve tea to the two highnesses, hurry up, what doesn't open your eyes, go and serve tea to your highness."
This time, even the good-tempered Princess Yongfu was annoyed, she flicked her sleeves, snorted coldly, grabbed her sister's wrist and said, "Let's go!" The two people turned around and walked out of the hall, and Manager Lu chased him to the door of the palace like a cloud and knelt down and said: "The slave and maid send off the two princesses, and the princesses go slowly."
Princess Yongchun's lungs were about to explode, and as soon as she left the Ten Princes' Mansion, she immediately looked around and said, "What about that bastard Yang Ling?" What about that bastard Yang Ling? ”
Yang Ling popped up from behind a moon gate and said with a smile: "Yang Ling is here!" ”
Princess Yongchun broke free of her sister's hand and ran over and said, "What is your idea when you just squeezed your eyebrows with your sister?" Speak up quickly, if you really dare to help that Mr. Lu trap my aunt, this princess will never spare you."
Yang Ling probed and looked behind them, there was more than one princess living in the Ten Princes' Mansion, and it was impossible for Manager Lu to send someone out to spy on them, but Yang Ling still said alertly: "Let's go, let's talk while walking."
Yang Ling followed the two princesses, and said as he walked: "The moon silver up and down the princess's mansion is in charge of Steward Lu, right?" Well, it's no wonder she can control the whole house in her hands. Now in this lawsuit, Steward Lu wants to testify that the princess's mansion is her witness, but the princess and the concubine don't even have anyone willing to speak for them.
Steward Lu kept raising the ancestral example and the first emperor, what should I do with her? Even if you plead and ask the emperor to change the princess's mansion with a housekeeper, do you think you can be better than her? Their interests were originally based on the troubled princess, and they must share the same hatred on this point."
Princess Yongfu remembered that the name of Chief Manager Lu was Gongshun, but in fact he was extremely arrogant, she couldn't help but feel a chill for a while, and said gloomily: "Then why did General Yang wave his hand and signal us not to speak?" She stopped and looked at Yang Ling expectantly: "The general must have a good way, right?" ”
Yang Ling smiled and said: "Your Royal Highness is really Lan Xinhui, hehe, Weichen does have some ideas, but he doesn't think so clearly for a while", he saw that Yongchun was about to be anxious again, and hurriedly said: "What to do, the minister has already thought about it, the minister has not yet figured out how to let the emperor know that there is still a way to make this kind of greedy villain."
Yang Ling lowered his voice and said carefully, and then said with a smile: "The two princesses have often been in and out of Princess Ningqing's mansion, and it is most suitable to do this, and the left and right are just slaves, even if the emperor is exposed, he will not be angry."
Princess Yongfu looked at him for a long time without blinking, suddenly smiled, and said, "General Yang's method is really uh, it must be effective."
The anger on Princess Yongchun's face was long gone, and she nodded with a smile: "Yes, yes, the wicked still need the wicked to grind, this princess is now beginning to believe what Uncle Zhang Guo said to the queen mother, you guy is really a big villain!" ”
The villain Yang Ling helped the princess make a bad move, and returned to the Qianqing Palace with great ambition, but Emperor Zhengde had already forgotten about sending him to mediate the princess's family affairs, and when he saw him, he said his plan with great interest. Yang Ling was stunned for a moment.
He froze for a long time, looked at Liu Jin's four red-eyed rabbits, and then looked at the nostrils of the Zhengde Tianzi, and couldn't help but say in surprise: "The emperor wants Weichen to set up an internal affairs factory?" Hasn't the editorial office always been served by an internal lawsuit? ”
Zhengde said with a smile: "Exactly, but it was the Yongle Emperor Jingjing when the internal officials made great efforts, so the East Factory was controlled by the internal officials, and then the West Factory was later established by the internal officials to serve as the factory governor, but I want to be Chen Yixin and unexpected, so that I can be brilliant and surprising."
He smirked and said, "If my inner factory is then supervised by an internal official, won't it still be under the jurisdiction of Wang Yue?" Now Jinyiwei is a pro-military minister, and the East Factory is supervised by the Master of Ceremonies, and the West Factory, which is also under the Master of Ceremonies, supervises the East Factory.
Now I have transferred foreign ministers to build internal factories and supervise ceremonial supervisors, which is seamless, so I must use foreign ministers, I trust you the most, of course you will do it, you don't want to be the secretary of the criminal department, I am approved, this matter is not allowed to be resigned."
Yang Ling said with a bitter face: "But the minister really doesn't have any experience."
He said in his heart: Although there are not many leaders of the two factories and one guard who do not die well, but the reputation of the factory guard is really not very good, and the Jinyi Wei and the East Factory support themselves so much, just for fear of losing the holy family, this is good, I am now actually out of their own door, Zhang Xiu and Fan Tingken suffer this dumb loss? ”
Zhengde said disapprerovingly: "I don't have experience as the emperor, don't you think I'm doing a good job?" With me backing you up, what are you afraid of? ”
Yang Ling took a breath and said curtly: "Then I don't know where the emperor's important ministers set up the inner factory?" Where did this man come from? To open a government, build a house, buy a house, and buy land, you must have silver, right? Is the household willing to come out? What are the main responsibilities of the internal compilation factory? ”
Zhengde was stunned when he heard this, and then said, "Do you want to ask me about this and this?" You choose the place yourself, you choose the people yourself, the silver" Emperor Zhengde instigated, as if he had a toothache: "Think about where you can deduct the silver, and then tell me to listen, I will allow you to play." As for the duties, the main one is to watch the two factories and one guard for me, and the other is right, the silver, and the tax supervision power of the celebrant must be collected."
"Hmm", Emperor Zhengde thought seriously for a while, spread his hands, and said: "I have come up with so much for the time being, tell me when you think of something."
Yang Ling looked at Zhengde blankly for a long time before he said: "Then isn't Weichen going to participate in presiding over the emperor's wedding, can you wait until the emperor's wedding to prepare, otherwise Weichen may be lacking in skills."
Zhengde said with a smile: "This is to make it, then after my wedding, we will announce the establishment of the inner factory, you go back to the Ministry of Rites first, I heard that they have a lot of rules, you are the envoy of the Son of Heaven chosen by me, don't lose face to me."
Yang Ling said helplessly: "Yes, Weichen obeys the order."
Yang Ling left the Qianqing Palace, and as soon as he walked a few steps, Liu Jin chased after him from behind, and as soon as he caught up with Yang Ling, he hurriedly said: "Lord Yang, what a big deal to set up an internal factory, why aren't you in a hurry, let the two factories and one guard know, maybe they will fan the yin wind and stumble under the yin fire for you, this matter should be grasped quickly."
As soon as Zhengde Jinkou opened, it was pointed out that the inner factory was to supervise the internal officials of the east and west factories, so he resolutely did not use the internal officials, and Liu Jin also died, fortunately, the new internal factory supervisor is his own good brother, no fish and shrimp, it is better than being an outsider, so seeing his sparse appearance, he can't help but be very anxious.
Yang Ling saw that Emperor Zhengde was frizzy, a gust of wind and rain, and he still held in his heart that he would dispel the illusion of building an internal factory after his wedding, so he could drag it out. As for the prevention of two factories and one guard, it is purely a joke, which is not comparable to Hongzhi's secret opening of the West Factory, which is formed with the cooperation of the master of ceremonies and the elite of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, so it can be concealed for a while.
As long as this side starts, the wind will immediately enter the ears of the two factories and one guard, rather than covering up to provoke their suspicion, it is better to let them know generously when they open.
Yang Ling thought of this, suddenly moved in his heart, and had a thought: the team of Jinyi Wei was the Jinyi pro-army of the year, the East Factory has a long history, and most of the Fanzi stalls were recruited from the people, but the West Factory was based on the Imperial Horse Supervisor
Yang Ling was excited when he thought of this, he was at a loss, but at this time, he made up his mind, if he took his own pro-army as the team, and even had all the territory in his hands, it was just a matter of turning over the current brand.
Didn't the emperor say that he wanted someone to give it to him? Huang Qiyin of Jiming County, Wu Jie, a thousand households of Jinyiwei, who is unhappy, are all experienced officials, but they have always been not very proud of the officialdom.
Thinking of this, Yang Ling patted Liu Jin on the shoulder with a smile, he was stunned by such affection for the first time. I only heard Yang Ling smile and said: "Father-in-law Liu's concern for Yang, Yang knows it, but this matter can't be hidden, so let them know it generously, with the will of the Holy God, who would dare to make trouble?" Hehehe".
Yang Ling was cheerful in his heart at this time, thinking that if the emperor insisted on opening the inner factory, it would be better to release the news in advance, brake quietly, and see the reaction of the two factories and one guard. Moreover, if they are slow to move, they will inevitably think that their ability is limited and it is difficult to organize, even if someone is really jealous, they will be despised because of this, and then the lightning will set up an internal factory, and the resistance must be reduced to the minimum.
Yang Ling let go of his worries and happily went to the Ministry of Rites to be the wedding master of ceremonies, but Liu Jin was stunned there for a long time without worrying.
Yang Ling didn't know the emperor's wedding, what he wanted to do as the master of ceremonies, anyway, there was the Ministry of Etiquette and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so he mainly needed to deal with the lighting and setting fire on the wedding night. Unexpectedly, the emperor's wedding has a lot of red tape, and although his role in it is limited, there are many things that need to be involved.
Now the secretary of the Ministry of Rites is Wang Hua, Wang Hua has no opinion of him, especially Wang Hua thinks that Yang Ling risked his life in the imperial tomb case for the sake of the common people in the world, but he is a hot-blooded loyal minister, and he is extremely polite to him.
Honglu Guan patiently explained to Yang Ling the detailed steps of Nacai, asking for names, Naji, recruitment, announcing the date, and welcoming in person, the etiquette of sealing the concubine after the canonization, and the three trial methods of the new palace maid at the same time, one by one, which made Yang Ling dizzy to listen.
In the end, Yang Ling only remembered that these concubines were all knowledgeable and innocent eunuchs, and the selection process alone was more intense and strict than lifting her son to Beijing to catch the exam.
The eunuchs not only had to observe their appearances and listen to their voices, but also sent palace maids to carefully check their hair, facial features, and bodies.
At the time of the third trial, the female officials in the palace were undressed and checked, what smell, skin, and a scar on the body were not good, and on this basis, the demeanor and demeanor were checked, and the etiquette norms and palace rules were learned in the palace.
Yang Ling listened secretly, this is much stricter than choosing Sister Hong Kong, how beautiful the selected woman is. He couldn't help but blurt out: "Have you chosen the queen now?" ”
Honglu Guan smiled: "Yes, now the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager have selected the eldest daughter of the Governor of the Chinese Military Governor's Mansion and the Governor of the Chinese Army, Lord Xia Ruxia, as the queen, and also selected the daughters of the two Beijing officials as concubines, and they will enter the palace at the same time when they get married." By the way, the day after tomorrow, the Lord will go to Nacai with the lower officials to ask for the name, and the Lord must not be familiar with these etiquettes, so you can take this book back and take a look."
Yang Ling took the two thick stacks of things, and couldn't help but say with straight eyes: "Is this all the content of the big gift?" ”
Honglu official said: "Yes, this is related to the content that you are responsible for, adults, you must be careful, as an envoy of the Son of Heaven, don't lose etiquette." ”
Yang Ling only chattered, holding the two stacks of things and rushing home in a sedan chair. He opened it in the sedan chair at random and looked at it, the dense small characters were all vertical, not even punctuation, usually read some official documents and make up, looking at this thing was already dizzy, the sedan chair trembled again, Yang Ling looked at it twice and felt that his brain hurt, and he really couldn't stand it.
Yang Ling returned to the house with his things, it was already more than half of the afternoon, he sent the books into the inner study, and saw that the young lady was not in the room, and asked the maid to know that they had all gone to the back garden, so he changed into a plain robe and walked to the backyard.
The courtyard of this courtyard is not small, there are three acres of land in the circle, originally not much use, except for a few fruit trees, there are wild grasses everywhere, now after Yang Ling's instructions, a piece of land has been leveled out of the back garden to be used as a martial arts field, and there are still a few piles of loess on the ground that have been shoveled through the grass, and it seems that it has not yet been completed.
Further to the right is the vegetable bed served by the young lady. First, there are rows of bean shelf, more than one person high, then there are cucumber shelves, and finally there are all kinds of onions and garlic vegetables.
Yang Ling walked through the bean field, just walked through the two ridges of cucumber racks, and saw a figure half-hunched in the ridge of the ground to play with the melon seedlings, Yang Ling saw that it was a young lady, and was busy and diligently drilled in, this melon field was very good, with a lot of watery cucumbers, and the yellow flowers on the top were still blooming.
When the young lady heard the branches and leaves hanging, she turned her head and saw that it was Xianggong who had returned, so she raised her head with a smile and said, "Xianggong, what are you doing in the field?" Don't get your clothes dirty".
Yang Ling saw that the young lady had changed into a coarse cloth shirt, holding a pair of scissors in her hand, presumably pruning the melon seedlings, and couldn't help laughing: "You, on such a hot day, you are impermeable to the melon field, look at your heat, now the prince is a prince, but you are blessed or not." ”
Han Youniang raised her sleeves and wiped the sweat beads on her face, and said with a smile: "It's strange and uncomfortable to be idle, Xianggong is now a grandfather, but not a prince, let's talk about it here, it's okay, don't go out and say the same, let some villains find fault with you."
Yang Ling glanced at her and said angrily: "That's what I mean, don't say that the prince, do you mean the prince and the uncle?" Saying that, he couldn't help laughing and said, "If I really become a prince, wouldn't you be a female monkey?" ”
Han Youniang said shamefully: "Xianggong talks nonsense again, and he always likes to make fun of others."
When she stepped forward, Yang Ling was afraid of knocking down the melon seedlings, and the ridges under her feet were soft, and she was unstable on her feet.
Han Youniang couldn't help but sneer: "Xianggong, look at you, you, you are not born to be the master of the crops."
Yang Ling was already sitting on the ground, so he was not in a hurry to get up, he took the young lady's hand, let her also sit on his lap, and sighed with emotion: "Alas, Xianggong also knows that you don't have anything to do in the house, but now Xianggong's identity, you go out to find a job, even if you go out to find a job, it is not easy to go to the street casually, and it is really uncomfortable to be bored in the house all day, fortunately, there are a few Yu'er and them, otherwise you will be even more bored."
As he spoke, he realized that he hadn't seen Yu'er, Xue'er, and Gao Wenxin yet, and couldn't help but wonder: "What about them?" ”
Han Youniang said: "They don't know how to prune, they go to the front to pick vegetables."
Yang Ling hummed, kissed the young lady lightly, and said: "It would be good if we had a child earlier, children don't stop all day long, so my daughter-in-law won't be bored."
Han Youniang's face turned red all of a sudden, and she was a little uneasy in her heart, she glanced at Yang Ling a little dejectedly, and said timidly: "Xianggong likes children, but young ladies don't have it now."
Yang Ling saw that he provoked her thoughts, and hurriedly comforted: "Don't worry, you are still young, let's talk about it", he leaned closer to the young lady's ear and said: "We have only been in the same room for four months, whose lady is so powerful?" Can you hit it in one shot? Huh".
Han Youniang twisted her shoulders uncomfortably when she heard this, a little embarrassed. Yang Ling saw her shy expression, he couldn't help but be moved, he looked at no one around, and suddenly sang low to the young lady's ear: "Wife, wife, I love you, Amitabha bless you, may you have a good body, healthy and beautiful, wife, wife, I love you, Amitabha bless you, may you do everything well, we will not separate, my love, is you, you know I love you."
Such a song could only be regarded as a country slang song in that era, but the lyrics of that tune were full of warm and sweet feelings, Han Youniang's eyes lit up, she happily held Yang Ling's hand, and said happily: "It's good, this song is so good, where did Xianggong hear such a beautiful tune?" ”
Yang Ling smiled: "Sounds good, right? Although the wife is a vulgar person's title, I think it shows the love of the husband for you more than the lady who is written, as long as you change this word to old"
Yang Ling suddenly woke up to the fact that her husband seemed to be a kind of eunuch, and hurriedly changed her words: "As long as you change this word to Xianggong, you will sing it to Xianggong, Xianggong will teach you, will you sing it to Xianggong?" ”
Han Youniang said embarrassedly: "Xianggong, no one has ever sung a song, I'm afraid I won't sing well."
It was rare for Yang Ling to sit and chat with the young lady so intimately, and he didn't care about the stuffiness in the melon field, so he held her hand and said: "It's very easy, come, I'll sing it a few times first, you will be familiar with this song after listening to it too much"3
After dinner, Yang Ling went into the study and looked at it carefully for a long time, the two stacks of things were all about the details of the collection, asking for names, recruiting and announcing the date, when each event was held, how many eunuchs, how many palace maids' honor guards, who held the festival and who held the edict and other trivial things, dazzling.
Yang Ling looked at such two thick books, there were not many of them that needed his own attention, if they were to be copied out and memorized, it would be much easier, so he wanted to go out and find Yu'er and Xue'er to help.
Yang Ling knew that these people usually liked to enjoy the cool on the garden corridor at night, he walked a few steps along the vine trellis, and suddenly heard a low humming voice behind the corner of the corridor: "Master~Master, I~~ love you, Amitabha bless you, may you have a good body, healthy and beautiful."
Yang Ling almost fainted when he heard it, how to tease in the field in the afternoon, the young lady just refused to open her mouth to sing, she didn't expect to run to no one to learn to sing at this time, and the wife changed to the master, even if she was still healthy and beautiful
Yang Ling hurriedly turned around with a smile, and saw a Qianying sitting by the railing, holding a pebble and throwing the pool boringly, still humming in his mouth, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop him: "Young lady."
The figure heard the movement like a rabbit that had been hit by an arrow, and screamed in his mouth, and then he settled down before he trembled: "Old man? ”
When Yang Ling heard the voice, he took a closer look, and the girl who wished him health and beauty was actually Xue Limei, and he couldn't help but be stunned there.
Xue Limei was busy in the field in the afternoon thirsty, ran to the melon field to pick a cucumber to eat, just heard a few ridges of the field outside the old man teaching the lady to sing, singing the sound of forgetfulness, she listened to it twice and memorized, at this time idle nothing to sing casually, was actually caught by the master, can not help but face flushed, eager to turn around and simply jump into the pond and drown.
In the corner pavilion in the distance, Han Youniang, Yutangchun and Gao Wenxin hurriedly ran over when they heard the screams, and when they saw Yang Ling and Xue Limei standing there, Xue Limei was still cowering, and couldn't help but look at this and that suspiciously.
Yang Ling saw that it was bad, and these women were afraid that they were going to misunderstand, so they hurriedly coughed and said: "I was in a hurry to ask you for help, and I didn't expect Miss Xue'er to stand here, but I scared her."
Han Youniang was relieved when she heard this, but Yutangchun refused to believe it, and looked at Xue Limei's skin that looked like a fire in the night, she didn't believe that it was scared, and Xiao Nizi couldn't help but feel a sour taste in her heart: Does the master like Xue'er more than me, am I not beautiful enough? ”
Gao Wenxin quickly glanced at these people with different thoughts, and gave a salute, and Wenwen said quietly: "Does the master have anything to tell the servant to do?" ”
Yang Ling breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said: "That's the case, the emperor ordered me to be the wedding angel, and I will go to the queen's palace to ask for my name, but the etiquette book is too messy, I want to sort out the things that the deputy envoy of the Son of Heaven needs to do, and the things that need to be paid attention to, Ming'er will remember it one day, so as not to go wrong temporarily."
As soon as a few women heard that there was something to do, they immediately put aside the matter of Fang Cai, and followed Yang Ling to the study, the thread-bound booklet was easy to dismantle, Yang Ling divided it into four parts and divided it for them to sort out, and he made a pot of tea and waited leisurely while sipping tea.
After a while, Xue Limei screamed again, and the eyes of several people couldn't help but focus on her, Yang Ling, who was still a little unnatural, couldn't help but be overjoyed, hehe, she is just this problem, this time Yutangchun won't look at me like a spy while copying books, right?
Han Youniang couldn't help but smile and said, "Xue'er, why are you always shocked today, and you will be scared when you copy a book?" ”
Xue Limei blushed and said curtly: "Sister, I just didn't expect that the deputy envoy of the Son of Heaven was still in charge of these things, so I was surprised for a while."
Han Youniang, Yutangchun, and Gao Wenxin all approached curiously when they heard this, but after only a few glances, Gao Wenxin smiled slightly, returned to the table and continued to copy her things, Han Youniang and Yutangchun blinked and looked at it for a long time, and also ran away with a blushing face.
Yang Ling was curious, hurriedly stood up, leaned over with great interest, and said, "What do you want me to do?" I'll see."
Yang Ling snatched the book and took a look, only to see that it was written "Human Ethics Chapter: The upper is to the temple, and the lower is to continue the future generations." And then there were a few pictures of the spring palace.
Yang Ling has seen the A film of the real knife and gun, this kind of thing is naturally not in his eyes, he looked down again with disdain, but the content of the following activity is to say that the palace is enshrined in the Buddha of Joy with the opportunity to be involved, a certain month, the deputy envoy of the wedding will accompany the prince to the hall of the Buddha of Joy, demonstrated by the Buddha of Joy, and the deputy envoy will explain the knowledge of intercourse.
Yang Ling couldn't help but laugh when he saw it: "It turned out to be these things, hey!" What should I be, what is there to teach, who doesn't understand this, remember when I was thirteen uh"
"Huh?" Four pairs of eyes with different beautiful styles focused on Yang Ling. All four pairs of eyes are full of curiosity and curiosity. Yang Ling's face was hot, he took out the majesty of the old man and coughed twice, and said dryly: "It's not too late, let's not talk about idle things, I think everyone should hurry up and copy the book."
