Wang Xu, who was nearly fifty years old, was accompanied by his concubine Li Shuyue and strode towards the front yard.

The name of Captain of the Horse, Wang Shu gained and lost, lost and regained, and the taste made him often have mixed feelings in his more than 20 years of life.

When he was young and amorous, freshly dressed and angry, he didn't know how to do anything at all.

He is a descendant of the Taiyuan Wang family, and his father is Wang Quanbin, the founder of the Great Song Dynasty.

However, the wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind may not destroy it, but the hydrangea of the Zhao and Song royal families smashed it without saying a word.

Emperor Shenzong ordered Wang Xushang to be the eldest princess.

The eldest princess has lived in an atmosphere of love from her parents and cherishment of her brother since she was a child, and she has a gentle and elegant temperament, and she also loves Danqing poetry like Wang Xu. So at first, Wang Shu unexpectedly received the life of Qin Se and Ming.

The good times did not last long, and within a few years, their son died of illness. The princess grieved excessively, and her body became weaker, and she had nothing to show for it.

The eldest princess took the initiative to give two or three concubines to the concubine, and she didn't want to cut off the incense of the Wang family because of her own situation.

This sounds like an open-minded and generous move, but it kicked off the prelude to the change in their marriage.

In the year of his establishment, Wang Xu saw that the children of nobles and courtiers of the same age as him, or even those foreign candidates who came from the countryside and still had mud on their shoes, had taken up official positions at all levels in the Jinshi and the second, and he had permanently lost the possibility of making a big career in the political arena because of his relatives.

He sank into a web of feelings intertwined with envy, unwillingness, and depression, and the arrival of the concubine Meiji exacerbated the anesthetic effect of wishing to be drunk for a long time. Enjoy the dream of gentle township, frantically collect the famous paintings of the previous dynasty, beauty and beauty, become Wang Xu's dedicated pursuit, to heal the pain in the depths of his heart.

At this time, the nurse of the eldest princess jumped out to play the role of a parent official who had to cut off family affairs. She wishfully felt aggrieved for the princess, and tried her best to instruct the chamberlains who followed the princess to the palace to find the little mistakes of the concubines and concubines, and took the opportunity to ask the princess to punish her. If the princess wants to calm down, the nurse will send the attendant to the Empress Dowager Gao and the official family.

Wang Shu was furious.

Anyway, the princess nodded, and he simply accepted five or six more beautiful concubines, as if to completely vent his frustration of missing his career because he was a concubine.

coincided with the Wutai poetry case, Su Shi was in prison, and Wang Xu, who had always been good friends with him, was also implicated. The following year, when the princess died of illness, Emperor Shenzong came to mourn in person, the nurse cried and complained, and counted all kinds of formless trips of the horses. Wang Shu was finally relegated to Junzhou.

From the luxurious world of Tokyo to the bank of the Han River in Hubei, although Wang Shu lived here for three years and painted the "Stacked Peaks of the Yanjiang River" for future generations, he also deeply understood the power of the supreme imperial power during the long sleepless night.

In essence, he is a second-generation who relies on the height of the temple and is accustomed to enjoying fine clothes, jade food and various privileges, rather than a literati who can live far away from the rivers and lakes and maintain the integrity of green bamboo and the proud branches of frost chrysanthemum in the desert.

He's going back to Beijing!

Compared with being a colt and losing a smooth career, not being a colt and losing the life of a drunken gold fan is even more unacceptable to Wang Xu.

Three years later, Shenzong died, the crown prince Zhao Xu ascended the throne, and his grandmother, the Empress Dowager Gao, came to the court as an assistant.

Empress Dowager Gao is a supporter of the old party, and as a female ruler with considerable status and knowledge, she also understands the true thoughts of the eldest princess far better than the nurse. Under the instruction of the Empress Dowager Gao, Zhao Xu issued an edict to restore the title of Wang Xu's horse commander, changed his knowledge to Dengzhou, and then allowed him to return to Kaifeng City.

Wang Shu has changed a lot.

The eight concubines who angered Emperor Shenzong were assigned to the army to be rumored women, Wang Shu learned a lesson, looked at the empty and deserted Horse Mansion, and only accepted two new concubines. Among them, the one named Li Shuyue, from a famous family of framers in the west of the city, has a medium appearance, but knows a little about Danqing rhyme, and admits such a woman into the house, Wang Xu is enough to prove to the heavenly family that he no longer delays beauty, but since he will no longer marry a wife in this life, he will find a companion who can reward him with a bounty stone calligraphy and painting.

Li's graceful bearing, no enchanting kitsch, day by day Wang Xu's liking, the mansion is large and small, Wang Shu almost gave her the identity of the hostess.

Today, as soon as the princess's nurse arrived at the gate of the mansion and abused, Xu Weng, the chief steward of the mansion, hurriedly came to report to Wang Shu and Li, who were preparing paintings.

Whichever household, when the door is opened to welcome guests, there is a squatting star at the door, which is taboo.

But Wang Shu thought, this old ancestor came to make trouble, it was not the first time, in the past, she had been angry enough, and there was nothing to do, not to mention that it was still early for the guests to come to the door, and Wang Yuma didn't take it too seriously.

Unexpectedly, he was really almost killed.

Walking to the Moon Cave Gate leading to the west garden in the main courtyard, Wang Shu and the Li family, seeing the people of the Shen family, waited respectfully.

When the master arrived, Gao Yu hurriedly led everyone to salute.

Wang Shu nodded, Li stepped forward, with a look of joy and gratitude, as a female family member to thank Yao Huan for the head of the family, and said a few words to Shen Fuzhi, it is nothing more than a good fortune, there is such a good-looking and wise and decisive child in the family.

Shen Fuzhi has always been used to showing his head, and he knows the proportions of the scene the most, they are here to make a banquet today, and his niece Yao Huan came to the rescue, of course, to avoid a trouble in the Horse Mansion, but the princess nurse was also the one who embarrassed the Horse Mansion, and it was best not to climb more at this moment.

"The prince, Mrs. Li, don't get tired of eating, these ingredients must be carefully disposed of in the stove room in the garden, before they can enter the mouth of the prince and the guests. Let's go to the garden and get ready? ”

From Gao Yu's previous report, Wang Xu not only knew that Shen Fuzhi had contributed to Su Yu's stay in Beijing, but also knew that this woman was actually the younger generation of Shen Kuo's clan. Even if there is no saving people, Wang Shu will not treat them as ordinary small businessmen.

"There are Lao Shen Niangzi, Yao Niangzi, Gao Yu, you lead the way, help Zhang Luo together, you don't have to come back from the West Garden to welcome guests with me." Wang Xuan said with a smile on his face.

sighed slightly: "The old man is going to visit the nurse with his wife at this moment. Hey, every family has a difficult scripture, the nursing mother is older, and she misses the princess more and more, this idea is blazing, and it is inevitable that you will talk about old things everywhere, which is also human nature. Old man, just coax. ”

Yao Huan saw that Wang Yuma, who had the number one elegant celebrity circle of friends in the Great Song Dynasty, although his sideburns were gray, he was dignified, and when he talked about his "black history", he didn't deliberately whitewash or care about his style.

She said secretly, compared with those concubines in the Tang Dynasty who ended up miserable if they were not careful, the concubines of the Great Song Dynasty were involved in political struggles and family turmoil, and they could also die in a vicious life, I really don't know if I have high emotional intelligence, or this era does have a relatively generous and peaceful atmosphere.

Gao Yu took Shen Fuzhi and the others and followed the food cart to the direction of the West Garden.

Wang Xu and the Li family were about to move, but they saw the chief manager Xu in the mansion running in from outside the door.

"Ah Lang, the car of the King of Suining County has arrived in advance."

Wang Shu was stunned.

This little nephew is really a painting idiot, and he can't wait an extra hour.

After thinking about it, I became more and more happy.

The king of Suining County looks the most like his aunt, and I heard that Ping Su also likes the Queen Mother the most. Coincidentally, the old ancestor who led him first to coax and scold the mountain gate.
