Chapter 244: Marshal Tianpeng also has to bow down
In the month of spring, it is another year of silkworm ceremony.
Queen Wang specially sent someone to the temple to invite Afu, and attended as Mrs. Pei, but Afu refused.
She stood there quietly, half a head taller than the groveling attendant: "It is not appropriate for the surviving people to attend the silkworm ceremony, and my father-in-law has thanked my mother for her kindness." ”
The waiter persuaded: "Madam, this is the great favor given by the mother to the Pei family, it is better for the lady to attend....."
Afu's heart throbbed.
She bit her lip and smiled: "Thank you for your kindness, the concubine really won't go, and I ask my father-in-law to speak for me." ”
Ming Yan came and said that he was ready to attack the Wang family. At this stall, Afu doesn't want to see Queen Wang.
What's more, every year in the past, she accompanied the queen on stage, and she could see the smiling eyes of Shu Yu in the audience.
He is not restrained at all, and his face is full of "look at how beautiful my wife is".
The stinging is long and long, with a faint sweetness.
Xu is Afu's refusal also stung the royal family, and the emperor's reward came down the next day.
Afu was named Mrs. Yutai, Mrs. Hua was named Mrs. Jingzhi, and Huan Xian was posthumously named Mrs. Ru'an.
Shuyu's nickname is Changping Zhongwuhou, and everyone else says it's good, but Afu feels old-fashioned. It's good now, the name "Yutai" is so old-fashioned that he is together.
However, Shu Yu is Chinese New Year's Eve two today, but he is also "old and yellow". The border is long and peaceful, and the deceased is loyal and martial, which is indeed a good nickname.
In addition, quite surprisingly, the emperor also sealed Xiang Mingyan and Mu Jinheng.
Because the left minister was punished, the people of the DPRK and China had a big change. Xie Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials was promoted to the new Left Minister, and Gu Yuansian made up for his shortcomings. Zhao Liwen, the tanhua of the department, became the new doctor of Guozijian, and the Zhao family jumped from a humble family to the hottest court.
Because Pei Shangshu Cheng has been too lazy to participate in the dispute between Wang and Li for many years, this suspension has no effect, and it will be suspended for a while.
Qian Shangshu of the household department was demoted out of Beijing because of Li Lianlian, and Jin Heng filled the vacancy and became the new secretary of the household department.
The secretary of the Ministry of War falsely sealed Pei Jiheng, because he had not yet returned to Beijing, and was temporarily supervised by Gu Yanxian.
Xiang Zihan and Lai Junyi, two old slippery heads, offset each other's merits and demerits, and will not change.
As for Xiang Mingyan, he was exceptionally honored by the emperor as a county prince in recognition of his great merits, and he was awarded the privilege of returning to Beijing to visit relatives next year. Fu'an was renamed Fu'an to commemorate the construction of Fu'an.
Afu congratulated her brother and said: "In the future, my brother will have a name called Xiang Fu'an, which is also good." ”
Xiang Mingyan was clear in his heart, and after he made trouble in the court, he had to be taken away from the ground, so he didn't care much in his heart, and said with a smile: "I think Mingyan still sounds gentlemanly." ”
Afu smiled: "My second brother's name is peerless." ”
Ming Yan said: "Afu, do you want to take Chengyuan home for a few days?" Daddy and Auntie think you are tight, and I also want to see you for a few more days. ”
Afu's heart warmed up, and said with a smile: "The second brother has spoken, where do I have a reason not to listen." But our brothers and sisters still have a long life, and it's only in these days. ”
Ming Yan only said: "Maybe I'll go back to Fu'an in two days, and I can't bear my little nephew." He hugged Chengyuan and kissed him.
In the past few years, Afu has felt more and more that if she doesn't return home, she will be suspenseful, and if she returns to her home, she will be heartbroken.
To be precise, if you don't see your father, you will be suspenseful, and if you see your father, you will be heartwarming.
Aunt Li, Aunt Han and Aunt Nuan Yue have poured it clean, and Master Xiang is now obedient to his wife.
Although the two sons-in-law are dead and the daughter-in-law has returned to her parents' house, Mrs. Xiang is still a little radiant - after all, God has dropped pies and killed all the rivals in love, and no one will grow old and sprout.
Afu, Ming Yan, Ming Jun, and Xiang Chun sat silently on the left and right, pestle to the side like a stone to the old man, and only Xiang Xiang was croaking and talking.
Fortunately, she only talked about trivial things and didn't mention those topics that couldn't be said.
"Afu, try this chicken, A-Niang specially asked people to boil it for eight hours, it was soft and delicious, and it was a big supplement!"
Ah Fu didn't know what to say while holding the bowl, Ming Yan smiled and said, "Give me a taste too, Ah Niang Mo is biased towards Afu!" ”
Xiang Mingyan doesn't talk much on weekdays, but today he is so active, and Mrs. Xiang is really fluttering.
diligently added soup to her son, and her topic turned to Ming Yan.
“... Ming Yan, my Erlang can be regarded as having survived, and now that he has been crowned the county prince, don't go to Fu'an County, where birds don't, don't let my son study hard for many years. Ah Niang now thinks that when you won the top spot, you still feel honored! ”
Ming Yan's smile stiffened, and he finally continued: "Yes." Thank you for your kindness. ”
When his words entered Afu's ears, he always felt a little weird. She comforted herself, Xu didn't hear Xiang Mingyan say such a scene, so she felt a little awkward.
Ming Yan stood up, personally added soup to Xiang Chun and Ming Jun, and said, "Brother, sister, we will replace wine with soup between our brothers and sisters." I wish my brothers and sisters a happy and healthy day, and my brothers and sisters will take care of the wrong things that Ming Yan did in the past. ”
Afu turned her head sideways and saw Xiang Chunshang's scarred face.
This time, the sisters still didn't talk much, but the relationship had eased significantly. Xiang Chun was heartbroken in the Li family, and now that a catastrophe has passed, he feels Afu's sincerity in writing to her before, and his eyes are much softer when he looks at her.
Afu also stood up and said: "Big brother, big sister, the second brother has always been more sensible than me, and it is I who my brother and sister have to bear." ”
Mrs. Xiang couldn't believe that she would see such a scene of brothers, friends and brothers in her lifetime, and tears fell from her eyes.
No matter how shallow and foolish she is, she is also a loving mother, a mother who really wants her children to live well.
Xiang Lao sighed and patted his wife's back.
Mingjun hurriedly stood up, although he was the eldest son, he did not have such treatment, and he was a little excited and didn't know what to say.
Xiang Chun also stood up, bowed his head with tears and smiled: "It's all one family, so I won't talk about two families." In the future, we will be brothers, brothers, sisters, sisters, and live a good life. ”
Mingjun nodded heavily.
This family banquet, which was not very grand, turned out to be the warmest one in Afu's memory.
When everyone went back, she came to Ming Yan, who was sitting in the corner of the porch and watching the moon, and looked up at the little crescent moon in the sky.
"Brother, who do you want?"
Ming Yan asked rhetorically, "Who does Afu want?" ”
Afu narrowed her eyes, like a lazy kitten: "I wonder if he has a spring over there, and he can't see the moon." ”
Ming Yan took her into his arms: "Of course there is." He must be living right next to the moon. ”
"That's not good, I'm afraid that he will empathize and fall in love with Chang'e."
Ming Yan sneered: "That's not possible, Marshal Tianpeng is here, don't worry." ”
"My husband is the Marquis of Changping Zhongwu, and Marshal Tianpeng is willing to bow down." Afu smiled, inexplicably proud.
Ming Yan chuckled and was silent.
"Are you planning to make trouble tomorrow?" Afu asked.
"Hmm."
Afu tilted her head to look at him: "Brother, are you nervous?" ”
Ming Yan turned his head and looked at Afu's eyes, a little embarrassed: "So obvious?" ”
Knowing the consequences and still doing it, he was indeed a little scared.
He knew that the final outcome was that Wang Xiang's party would disappear, and he would embark on a journey of exile that he didn't know where to go, but the hardships in the process, as well as the dark arrows shot from unknown directions, how could he not be frightened.
It is easy to die generously, but it is difficult to be righteous calmly.
Ming Yan has been in politics in Fu'an for four years, and he always remembers the holy words of his ancestors, but he feels that he is not as much as the sage thought practiced in this month.
He felt very honored, the choice of righteousness and benefit was finally shallow on paper, and he never knew that he had to do it.
As for whether he is the top of the list or the eye, it doesn't matter; Wen Xiang's sentence "Read the books of sages, what do you learn, and now and in the future, you are almost worthy of it", he really understands it now.
Afu said gently: "If my brother is nervous, I can tell you first." I guess there's no risk, right? Now that the military power is in Yanxian, almost all of the six departments have personal relations with us, and the emperor and Qiao Guifei are also ......"
Ming Yan interrupted her and said, "Don't worry, this matter will be done." I may have not reported the prelude for too long, so I am a little worried that the words are not beautiful. ”
Afu smiled: "Brother, you always strive for perfection like this. ”
"When we practiced calligraphy when we were children, every time you made a mistake, you had to tear it up all over again, and I don't know how many wrongful words you wrote...... You're the most pretentious I've ever seen. ”
Ming Yan smiled: "Who said that, isn't Jin Heng like this?" He's more hypocritical than me, and he has a knife to scratch there, and he has to scrape the ink off......"
The soft laughter of the two people wafted through the corridor, and the maids waiting next to them all smiled slightly.
Whether it is Xiangjia or Chang'an City, it has been too long and too long since there has been such a warm and dull moment.
