Chapter 51: Tangshan Chongyang Banquet (1)
Gu Huaiming smiled, and he whispered, "Okay." ”
Yu Mingzhu seemed to suddenly remember something, she said to Dye Chun: "Dye Xia, Dye Autumn Did they and Miss Jiang set off?" ”
Dye Chun said respectfully: "Miss Jiang said that she wanted to dress up, so it is estimated that it will be later, and the slave maid thought that you didn't want to see her, so she asked her to go out later." ”
Yu Mingzhu smiled: "The finale should have been slower." ”
Gu Huaiming said softly, "What is Madam going to do?" ”
"It's not what I'm going to do, it's what the ginger girl is going to do."
Gu Huaiming helped Yu Mingzhu, the two of them climbed a stick of incense, and then they already felt that they couldn't do it, the two sat in the small pavilion in the mountains, looking at the winding mountain road under the mountain, and suddenly felt a sense of accomplishment in their hearts.
At this time, the breeze was gusting, and Yu Mingzhu looked at the mountain road that was still more than half there, and suddenly retreated.
"Dye Dong, can you go down the mountain and call two soft girls to send me and my husband up the mountain?"
Ran Dong was suddenly a little helpless, she smiled and said: "If the young lady is really not troublesome, then the slave will call a sedan chair." ”
Gu Huaiming interjected and said: "This mountain is not as flat as the land, there are no cattle and horses, it is all done by manpower, but how can people be compared with cattle and horses, if so, I would rather climb up slowly, didn't Mrs. also say before, this is a custom to climb high and look far away, since it is a custom, it is better to follow it." ”
Recently, Gu Huaiming's mouth has become more and more powerful.
Yu Mingzhu was helpless, and this Dye Dong said with a smile: "Miss, you better climb up, I heard that Governor Han and Governor Liang all climbed up step by step." ”
Yu Mingzhu resigned herself to lifting her skirt and walking on the narrow mountain road, along the way there were many soft and delicate young ladies sitting on the road, one by one with umbrellas, and the maid feeding snacks, looking so unhappy.
Yu Mingzhu couldn't help but glance at Gu Huaiming in front of her, she couldn't help but say angrily: "This profession is originally part of the noble and low, you see how many people sit on the soft and delicate mountain along the way, if there is no lazy person like me, I am afraid that the sedan chair man will have no livelihood." ”
Gu Huaiming glanced back at Yu Mingzhu, his eyes full of smiles.
Madame's words sounded right at first, but when you think about it, it is not the case, if the people of the world can find a stable livelihood, or do small business, or farm and raise livestock, if they rely on their own skills and strength, they will be able to live in this world with dignity. However, this Liang is full of rich people annexing land, the poll tax is heavy, and the common people sell coolies, and many of the palanquin men on this Xiaotang Mountain are farmers who have lost their land, and they are all the people of Daliang just like us, but they have lost their survival in Daliang and have become the most lowly and pitiful dusters in our eyes. ”
After Gu Huaiming said this, Dye Dong couldn't help but applaud, and she spoke: "Although the slave maid doesn't understand it, the slave maid feels that what my uncle said is right. ”
Before Dye Dong's words fell, an old man's voice came from behind several people.
"That's right."
I only saw Han Qi, who was wearing a regular suit today, followed by the king of the same county and a thirty-year-old man with a rather elegant appearance, Gu Huaiming saluted Han Qi, Han Qi said with some joy: "I thought you wouldn't come today, how is your body?" ”
Gu Huaiming replied: "It's already good." ”
Yu Mingzhu came to greet him, Han Qi smiled, only to hear him say: "After Huaiming got married, he became a lot more lively and married a good wife, which is really good." ”
Yu Mingzhu was a little surprised in her heart, how could this old man suddenly praise himself.
The thirty-year-old man is Liang Kuan, the prefect of Suzhou, who is also an extremely powerful figure.
Liang Kuan said to Gu Huaiming: "Gu is the same year, I haven't seen you for a long time. ”
At the beginning, Gu Huaiming and Liang Kuan were lifted together, and it can be regarded as the same year, but Gu Huaiming was lifted at the age of 15, while Liang Kuan was lifted at the age of 28, a little prodigy, and a middle lifter.
But now Gu Huaiming is a son-in-law in Jiangnan, but this Liang Kuan has become the prefect.
A few people exchanged pleasantries, and Yu Mingzhu followed behind them and listened to some things in the Jiangnan officialdom.
Some time ago, the prefect of Hangzhou was demoted to the northwest border by Governor Han, and now the position of the prefect of Hangzhou is vacant, and it is temporarily supervised by Han Qi, and the prefect of Hangzhou is the son-in-law of the Su family.
Yu Mingzhu's eyelids jumped, things seemed to be different from the previous life, the prefect of Hangzhou in the previous life, but he will still be in office next year, but now he has packed up his things and left.
Originally, the Su family, the Xu family, and the Wang family would be exiled at the end of next year, but it seems that this time, it may be much earlier, so Yu Mingzhu should indeed speed up.
A few of them arrived at the top of Xiaotangshan Mountain, there is a rather magnificent Taoist hall on Xiaotangshan Mountain, it is said that there was once a Taoist master in it, Xiaotangshan Qingxuguan is overcrowded, fortunately there is a huge open space behind the Taoist temple, many people sit on the ground with their families, a protruding enclave in the front, there are many things for banquets, and there are many small Taoist priests serving on the side.
Yu Mingzhu and they followed the little Taoist priest to the banquet place, the ground was paved with a very delicate meadow, it is said to be made of wormwood, many Suzhou big families and servants were in groups, Yu Mingzhu also met acquaintances here.
I saw that those people from the Wang family and the Eastern Mansion were gathered together, laughing and laughing, but they were so happy.
Among them, Yu Mingxiang was wearing a bright yellow shirt, which looked bright and extraordinary.
Liang Kuan also glanced in that direction a few times, Yu Mingzhu had already heard that this prefect liked beauties, and it didn't seem to be fake at all.
Yu Baoqing, who was dressed in red, saw Yu Mingzhu and Gu Huaiming, and ran out regardless of it, his face was red, his eyes were shining, and he obviously liked this kind of place with a lot of people.
"Sister Mingzhu, brother-in-law Mingzhu, the sisters and brothers of the Wang family and the Xu family are composing poems now, do you want to go?"
Yu Baoren's eyes were full of joy, and Yu Mingzhu said with a smile: "Husband doesn't like places with a lot of people, let's not go." ”
Yu Mingzhu refused simply, and Yu Baoqing had no choice but to leave in a huff.
Gu Huaiming glanced at Yu Mingzhu and said softly, "I didn't say that I don't like places with a lot of people. ”
Yu Mingzhu pulled Gu Huaiming to sit down, and she spoke: "The people of the Wang and Xu families are looking for an opportunity to destroy your prestige. ”
Yu Mingzhu pointed at the group of people.
"The tall man wearing a red robe with a golden silk round neck is the son of Fang of the Xu family, Xu Yan, he is very proud, and has a little ability, the woman in pink who sat down and laughed is the queen of the Wang family, Ruolan, the two families have the intention of marrying, but the ancestor of the Su family asked for his grandson Su Pan to marry Wang Ruolan, and the Wang family did not agree."
Gu Huaiming listened attentively and seemed to be very interested in these gossips.
