Volume 2 Jiangxia Chapter 1010 Mountain Villa Summer Escape
The marriage of Cao Liu was in a uproar in the Wei State, and the formation was spectacular, but it was also lively in Chang'an, when the carriage of the greeting family drove into the city, causing a sensation all over the city, and more than 100,000 people welcomed the arrival of Cao's daughter on both sides of the street.
Although the whole wedding ceremony was very grand and lively, the wedding was simple and simple, without extravagant pomp, let alone a large banquet, and refused the congratulatory gifts of hundreds of officials.
In the sound of drums, Cao Xian was married into the Han Palace, and Liu Jing worshiped the hall to marry, some important officials were invited to watch the ceremony, the whole wedding ceremony was simple and lively, just after the worship of the hall, Cao Xian officially became the second concubine of the Han Dynasty.
In the marriage of the Han Dynasty, most of the high-ranking officials and princes had a group of wives and concubines, in addition to the main wife, not every woman has the same status, generally speaking, Wan is a wife, Ben is a concubine, that is to say, according to the six rites to marry, there is a wedding ceremony called a wife, and the concubine is without any ceremony, quietly entered.
But for high-ranking officials and princes, many people also have grand ceremonies when they marry concubines, such as Dong Zhuo marrying the widow of Huangfu Gui, which is grand in scale and the wedding is a sensation in Luoyang.
Therefore, there is a difference between concubines and concubines, and the officials who formulate etiquette divide a more high-status category among the concubines, called concubines.
Before Liu Jing was named the king of Han, Sun Shangxiang was a concubine, and Xiao Bao Niang was a concubine, but Liu Jing was named the king of Han, and he was the same as the East Palace, so Liu Jing's wife and concubine were different from ordinary people.
According to the Han system, only Tao Zhan can be called the princess, and the rest of the concubines can only be called Liangdi and the widow, but in fact, the whole Han country calls Sun Shangxiang the second concubine, this time Cao Xian married, according to the consensus reached by both parties, Cao Xian is also the second concubine.
But Cao Cao was not formal enough, and asked the Son of Heaven to issue an edict to list the second concubine as an internal official, with a rank ratio of 2,000 stones, and canonized his daughter Cao Xian and Sun Shangxiang as the second concubine of the Han Dynasty, and Qiao and Bao as Liangdi, so that Cao Xian's status was higher than Sun Shangxiang, the left second concubine, and Sun Shangxiang as the right second concubine, which was also Cao Cao's good intentions.
However, in the inner house of the Han Palace, these official status are not considered, the Han Palace's own rules, according to the order of sitting at dinner, Tao Zhan is the first, Sun Shangxiang is second, Cao Xian's seat is third, Xiao Qiao is the fourth, and Bao Niang is the fifth.
As for the children, except for Liu Zhi, the son of the world, who must sit in the first place, the rest of the children can sit at will, without deliberate order.
This is the consensus within the Han Palace, Sun Shangxiang is indeed one level higher than Cao Xian, of course Cao Xian will not have any dissatisfaction, she not only respects Tao Zhan, but also respects other sisters, and they all call them sisters.
Cao Xian's cleverness and well-behaved also won the love of everyone, and soon they got along.
Cao Xian especially has a good relationship with Sun Shangxiang, the Mingyue Tower where she lives is relatively close to the Wanghu Pavilion where Sun Shangxiang lives, only a few dozen steps apart, and they will come and go every day.
In a flash, it was almost twenty days since Cao Xian married into the Han Palace, and she had gradually become familiar with the people in the mansion, but Chang'an was very hot in summer, much hotter than Yedu, which made her a little uncomfortable with the weather in Chang'an.
Fortunately, there is an ice cellar in the house, and ice cubes are placed in the wall of the small building where she lives, which makes the room much cooler, and Cao Xian refuses to go downstairs, and stays in the room most of the time.
On this morning, the scorching sun hung in the sky, the weather was extremely hot, and his body felt sweaty when he moved, Cao Xian stayed in his living room as usual, sitting in front of the window and reading, holding a fan, gently fanning the wind.
As a new wife, Cao Xian won the favor of her husband, the spring night was short, so that she was satisfied with her married life, the initial anxiety and worry gradually disappeared, her whole mind was on her husband, and she actually had a thought, if her husband really unified the world, she could accept it.
As married life gradually gets on the right track, her husband can't be alone with her every night, just like Bao Niang is obsessed with food, Xiao Qiao is intoxicated with music, Shang Xiang loves to collect weapons, and the housewife Tao Zhan has to manage the entire mansion, everyone has their own things, and Cao Xian also began to find his own interests and hobbies.
Cao Xian loves to read very much, and also has a collection of bamboo slips and scroll books in two whole rooms, and most of the more than 100 large boxes she married are her books, which are still just books that she often reads.
Fortunately, there were enough empty rooms in Mingyue Tower, and she had written home to ask her father to bring all her books.
At this time, the maid outside the door smiled and said, "The second lady is here!" ”
This is Shang Xiang coming, Cao Xian hurriedly put down the book and greeted her, just when Sun Shangxiang walked in, she hurriedly smiled and grabbed Sun Shangxiang's arm, "On such a hot day, how can the second sister get out?" ”
"My temperament is different from you, I can't stay in the room, like you lived in the carriage for a few days and nights when you came to Chang'an, if it were me, I would have been driven crazy."
Sun Shangxiang took out a handkerchief and wiped his sweat, looked at Cao Xian again, and said with a smile: "You are more beautiful and delicate than when you first came, it seems that that person has moisturized you well." ”
Cao Xian would never make such explicit jokes, she suddenly blushed with shame, squeezed Sun Shangxiang's hand, and said embarrassedly: "What is the second sister talking nonsense?" ”
Sun Shangxiang sat down and said with a smile: "When I first married her, I was as shy as you, and after a long time, my skin will become thicker, and you will be the same in the future." ”
Cao Xian sat down opposite Sun Shangxiang and asked in a low voice, "If I write to my father, he won't be angry!" ”
"Nope! He doesn't care about these things, as long as you don't talk about state affairs, it doesn't matter if you write a hundred letters a day. ”
Cao Xian nodded, and said quietly: "I always thought that I was a political marriage, and it was destined to be a tragedy, but after I got married, I found that it was very different from what I thought, and I can only say that I thought too naïve in the past." ”
Sun Shangxiang held her hand and sighed: "You are not naïve, in fact, I am the same, I am not a political marriage, but we are very lucky, we met a different husband, he does not care about our mother's family, but sincerely treats us as relatives, so that we can get rid of the unhappiness of the political marriage, and have a real marriage, Xianmei, this marriage is not easy to come by, you and I have to learn to cherish it." ”
Cao Xian nodded silently, "I understand!" ”
"Okay, let's not talk about these heavy topics, I'm here today to tell you good news, tomorrow we will leave for the manor to escape the summer, you hurry up and pack your things today!"
Cao Xian exclaimed and said hurriedly: "But I have so many books, how can I clean them up?" And my father is going to deliver my books in the next few days, what should I do if I am not there? ”
"Don't worry about these, when the housekeeper will send more than a dozen large boxes, you put the things you have to bring into the box, and bring a few fewer volumes of books, and then let people come back to pick up what they want, anyway, try to keep it as simple as possible, and they will move the boxes themselves."
Cao Xian breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "How long are we going and where are we?" ”
"Less than two months! Bai Lu came back before, I heard that in Yongxian, it turned out to be a Huangzhuang, there are mountains and rivers, the scenery is beautiful, and it is very cool, I can't wait. ”
........
Not long after the Fei family handed over the land, the Han State carried out the first land division, and ordinary civilians had Yongye Field, 80 acres for men and women, and 50 acres of military land for military servants, which had been practiced in the Han State for many years.
Officials and generals should naturally also have their own Yongye Tian, which is divided into titles and military positions for military generals, while civilian officials are obtained by officialdom seniority and official rank.
Generally speaking, there are five sources of land for officials, one is ancestral property, and the Han State recognizes ancestral property, but there are also restrictions, that is, it cannot exceed the standard of Yongye Tian, and the excess part must be handed over.
The second is Yongye Tian, once this standard is formulated, it is fixed, and it is strictly forbidden to buy and sell, and it can be inherited from generation to generation, if the heir dies, and there is no heir designated, Yongye Tian will be confiscated and returned to the government.
The third source is the purchase, and the land that can be traded is called the production field, outside the Yongye field, it is generally the newly reclaimed land, or the new land obtained by expanding the territory, such as the land in Lingzhou and Hexi.
The fourth source is the special reward for meritorious service, and the land awarded is allocated from the official field, such as Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Gan Ning, Wen Ping, and other generals, all of whom have been rewarded with different Cheng dù.
The fifth source is more special, that is, the post field, each official position has a corresponding job field, and the output of the land belongs to the official, which is actually a kind of job subsidy, once the official retires, the post field must be returned.
The land system is very complicated, and here is just a few words, Liu Jing, as the king of Han, got 1,000 hectares of Yongye land, and another 500 hectares of land.
Liu Jing's Yongye Tian is in Yongxian Shenyou Mountain, which was originally the summer residence of the Western Han Dynasty and the location of the imperial village of the emperors of previous dynasties.
A thousand hectares of land occupies a huge area, the cultivated land only accounts for half, the other half is a lonely peak mountain with extremely beautiful scenery, a jade belt-like clear water surrounds the mountain, there are waterfalls, strange stones and towering trees on the mountain, there is a palace on the mountain, after hundreds of years of wind and rain, it has long been in disrepair and collapsed.
However, as early as last year, it was selected by Liu Jing as its own Yongye field, and the palace on the mountain was rebuilt, and the army was stationed around the foot of the mountain, and there were 100 tenant farmers responsible for cultivating nearly 500 hectares of fertile land.
After a long day's journey, Liu Jing, the king of Han, and his family, escorted by thousands of soldiers, came to the Grange.
Liu Jing rode on a horse, pointed to the beautiful mountains and clear water in the distance, and smiled at his wife and children: "That kind of mountain is called iQue Mountain, and legend has it that a fairy passed by here, dropped a piece of jade pendant from his pocket, and turned into this mountain, and the river under the mountain is the silk silk on the jade pendant." ”
Everyone is crowding the car window to look at the mountain, only to see that there are clouds and mist on the mountainside, the mountain shape is strange, full of aura, the white crane is flying in the mountain, as if it is really a place of immortals.
Everyone was amazed together, they didn't expect this mountain to be so beautiful, Tao Zhan sighed: "This is really a place of immortals!" ”
Liu Jing saw that his family liked it very much, he couldn't help but be proud in his heart, and said with a smile: "This is the place I have been looking for for a long time, and now it is my Yongye Field, and it is also our other house, I hope everyone can like it." ”
At this time, Tao Zhan suddenly remembered something and smiled at Liu Jing: "Da Qiao said that she is not feeling well today and can't walk with us, so I will pick her up tomorrow and the day after tomorrow." ”
