Chapter 170: A House
In the ninth year of the Holy Dragon, the first month has not yet come out, and the New Year's drama will be staged in turn.
On the fifteenth night of the first lunar month, the king of Wei was attacked by unknown persons during the dance arranged by the empress to pray for blessings, resulting in the injury of seven civilians, six of whom were slightly injured, and one from the township of Beizhou was seriously injured. The King of Wei was benevolent and filial piety, sympathetic to the injured people, but also feared that the blood would affect the blessings of the empress, so he properly resettled the injured people, and took the seriously injured township tribute to the Wei Palace.
On the morning of the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, the empress angrily reprimanded the king of Jin on the grounds that the servants of the king of Jin forcibly occupied the land of the people of Gyeonggi, seized the post of secretary of the military department, and ordered the king of Jin to think about it behind closed doors for a month.
On the eighteenth day of the first month, during the period when the King of Jin was thinking about it behind closed doors, he didn't know how to reflect, he spent all day drinking and singing in the house, and he also had an affair with a female official who was a wife and mother next to the eldest princess, and was broken by the eldest princess on the spot.
In anger, the eldest princess went directly to the palace to ask for peace and departure. On one side is three thousand favored daughters, on the other hand is the son of a brother of a mother's compatriots, the empress persuaded peace, immediately summoned the king of Jin into the palace to denounce, and gave the female official death. However, the eldest princess is the pearl of the empress's palm, with a strong personality, it is impossible to reconcile, and she slapped the king of Jin in front of the empress, and then left the palace in anger, and the palace of the king of Jin and the princess did not set foot in a step, and lived directly in the village in the suburbs of the south of the city.
About the peach scandal, it is always talked about, especially when the object is a high-ranking royal family.
It's only been three days, and there are rumors in the market that the eldest princess is located in Beizhuang, a suburb in the south of the city, and there are handsome young men coming in and out every day, and the music of the silk and bamboo orchestra has never been broken. Therefore, many people in the world speculate that the reason why the eldest princess moved to the suburbs in the south of the city in anger was simply to indulge in lust.
On the 23rd day of the first month, Ouyang Zijin recommended the virtuous to the empress - a Yangzhou lifter, it is said that his talent is eight buckets, and he has immortal talents. That night, he invited the king of Liang into the palace for dinner, thinking that his talent was no less than that of his brother King Jin, so in the morning of the second day, the king of Liang was named the secretary of the military department.
For a while, the seer King Jin was reprimanded at home, and then the eldest princess humiliated King Jin so much, but the empress still sat idly by, thinking that most of the Gu brothers had lost their sacred hearts, and they had the heart to stay away from one or two and watch the follow-up.
On the 26th of the first lunar month, the annual provincial examination began, and 1,800 lifters from all states and counties across the country ushered in the fateful moment.
I don't know if I remember that today is the day of the provincial examination, or if I have been lying down and sleeping a lot almost all day, Liu Chenxing has already woken up when the first morning drum in Chang'an sounded.
At this time, everything was silent except for the sound of drums.
Ah Zhu, the maid who was assigned to take care of her, was still asleep on the floor outside the screen.
Liu Chenxing didn't want to disturb Ah Zhu's sleep, so she lay quietly.
It was still dark outside the window, but because she was a patient, a dimly lit oil lamp was left in the room, barely providing light for the room.
Before dawn, it is the quietest and perfect for studying.
According to the previous work and rest habits, Liu Chenxing will not study immediately after getting up at this hour, after all, only people wake up from sleep, and her consciousness is still in a chaotic state, she will simply stretch her limbs after washing, so that the whole person's physical state will slowly wake up and then study early.
Later, when she came to Chang'an, Uncle Liu went to court on the fifteenth day of the first month of the month, and in order to save money, she would go to the kitchen to make breakfast for everyone after she got up and washed.
She makes it simple, generally washing rice and cooking a pot of porridge, and then a boiled egg per person, and the other staple wheat noodle steamed cake, which is her and her brother, and sometimes Uncle Liu, their uncle and nephew are steamed with noodles, anyway, steamed bread and other foods are released, steamed for two or three days at a time, you can eat three meals a day at will, and there is ready-made soybean sauce to accompany the meal, so it doesn't take much time to make morning food, probably not for a moment, just enough for her to wake up early in the morning, so as to study next.
Now that she is recuperating in the Wei Palace, the previous method used to wake up her mind is not working, so she simply opens her eyes and quietly returns to her senses.
After a while, her eyes adjusted to the dim light of the room, and her head was empty again, and she looked at the room idly.
I have lived here for ten days, and every time I see it, I have a feeling of going to Cui Xiang's Mansion for a banquet.
At least seventeen or eighteen square bedrooms, at the entrance of a three-leaf screen, transparent silk texture, embroidered with a peony picture, exquisite luxury, a look of luxury, Liu Chenxing more than once thought about how much this screen can be sold for.
Skirting the screen, she was facing the large bed on which she slept, and between the two was a low square table, on which was lit an oil lamp, which was different from the wooden socket she usually used, which was a copper lampholder with carved patterns.
Thinking about the high price of handicrafts now, this oil lamp is no longer a lamp, and in her eyes it is all penny money.
As for the cabinets, chests, and dressers on the left and right sides of the house, all of them are painted in rainbow gold, and the exquisite workmanship almost blinds her, not to mention the ornaments on it, as well as the various flowers and bonsai that have to be changed every day, are not owned by the current season, and must be surprisingly expensive cellar flowers.
By the way, the floor is paved with bright and visible floor tiles, which is probably not compatible with the furniture of the house, so a layer of Persian carpet is laid on the floor tiles, and the bright red is embroidered with gold threads.
In short, every corner of the house has one smell - money.
So, Tan Wen said that she could make a request, so she just asked for money directly?
In fact, it stands to reason that "Li San" brought her back to the palace for treatment, which was enough to repay her for rescue, after all, her original intention at that time was just to save the little girl.
But if she doesn't want anything, will a big man like "Li San" think that she has any other ideas?
The most important thing is that there is a saying called "silver and goods", even if she is a small person and has nothing to plot about, it is better to be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, and it is best to stay away from these dangerous people.
Sure enough, if you want to ask what is the most sobering mind, Qian Silk is always in the first place.
After a few turns in his mind for money, Liu Chenxing felt that his brain was a lot clearer, so he began to recite the Confucian scriptures in his heart before Azhu got up to take care of her to wash and take medicine and change the medicine.
After reciting silently for more than half an hour, the sky outside also began to light up, and when Tan Wen came to visit every morning as usual, Liu Chenxing asked for something in order to stop thinking about it every day, or whether to mention it or not, she directly told Tan Wen what she wanted.
Tan Wen was stunned, "A house ......?" ”
