Chapter 421: The Principle of Cultivating Obscurity
The dragon boat race has come to an end, and today's May 5 Furong Garden banquet is almost over.
After all, the empress is very old, from the morning out of the palace to now, she is a little tired, praised a few words of thanks, gave some rewards alone, and praised Shen Zhongyi a few words, Shen Zhongyi was taken into the palace to raise him on the grounds of premature birth and frailty when he was a child, and he has always been cold and elegant when he became an adult.
In this way, the empress also left the table early.
Shen Zhongyi was responsible for taking the empress out of the palace, and naturally he was also responsible for sending her back to Daming Palace safely.
Ouyang Zijin not only participated in the government affairs, but also was a female official beside the empress, and she had always been inseparable from the empress.
Xiao Sisi, Zheng Wanqing and several other female histories took Ouyang Zijin as the first to look forward, and when they left, they naturally chose to go together.
The eldest princess is in a displeased mood today, seeing Shen Zhongyi show her skills, she is even more determined that she did not recognize this eldest nephew, and was deceived by this eldest nephew, the most reluctant thing is that she doesn't want to be entangled by King Jin, today in addition to Shen Zhongyi let her see, King Jin is not far behind, she actually acted in a bitter scene, it is disgusting to watch, I don't know what crooked ideas I plan now, she is not afraid of him, but she also does not want to waste her energy on King Jin, the relationship between husband and wife has long been exhausted, She immediately left the Fleur Court with the empress and returned to the manor where she now lives in the Paradise.
The main royal family members led by the empress left, and it was already early afternoon, and it was time for curfew in more than a month or two hours, even if there were still banquets in the main hall and the side halls on both sides of Ziyun Tower, and the wine and food on the banquet were served in unlimited quantities, everyone began to leave one after another.
Of course, there is a difference between leaving, first send off the ministers and other ministers above the third grade, and then others will leave.
Now that the people are rich and the country is strong, the economy is prosperous, and the treasury is full, it is inevitable that the emperor will reward the ministers with some things to show his favor during the festival.
Just when Liu Chenxing left the table with the eldest princess, the empress rewarded some frugal things on the fifth day of the fifth month of May to her group of civil and military ministers.
The main people who attended the banquet this time were the incumbent civil officials of Chang'an above the fifth grade, and the Beijing officials above the fifth rank have already entered the ranks of high-ranking officials, which is equivalent to the current "bureau-level cadres".
One person and one horse cut the fine kudzu for summer clothes, this kind of fine kudzu is light and thin, and it is very light to wear in summer.
With the materials for making summer clothes, there is no shortage of festival customs and summer things.
The fan is the most common thing to cool off, and every official gets another fan and eats the indispensable festival on the fifth day of the fifth month of the fifth month - a basket containing ten small rice dumplings and a pot of calamus wine.
So, Liu Chenxing, as a female historian who was assigned to the History Museum, didn't need to follow Ouyang Zijin in every word and deed for the time being, so he brought up the royal gifts he had obtained, and the ten taels of gold he won without taking out the gambling money, and followed Uncle Liu out of Furong Garden together, and found the horses and carriages they parked when they came, and they could return with a full load.
The uncle and nephew are not competitive temperaments, of course, they are bullied to the head and don't fight back, so it's not that they don't fight or grab, but they are cowardly and easy to bully.
At this time, there are more than 200 Beijing officials, and they can bring at least two family members according to the grade regulations, and then they can bring at most four or five family members, they all have to leave, you can imagine how crowded the gate of Furong Garden is, the two uncles and nephews will not fight, stay far away at the gate of Furong Yuan, while waiting for the crowd to gradually decrease, while Liu Wensu knows that Liu Chenxing's memory is very good, so he took this opportunity to introduce Liu Chenxing to the court officials who passed by one by one.
After waiting for one official after another, and watching them all leave one after another, the uncle and nephew went slowly to fetch their carriage and mount.
The sun is setting, and the ground is golden red.
It is estimated that it is close to Qushui, and it has been hot all day, and finally there is a hint of breeze.
The palace clothes on her body, the tulle Ayara, worn on the body like his second skin, with a hint of residual heat blowing in the breeze, although there is still some heat that has not disappeared, it is still very comfortable to blow on the body, and I feel that the heat has dissipated a lot.
A black hair was all meticulously coiled on his head, and there was no sideburns blowing on his face, Liu Chenxing's footsteps to get into the carriage stopped, and she held her basket and a fine arrowroot cloth at the door of the car like a baby, closed her eyes slightly, and enjoyed the sunset breeze with a comfortable face.
Liu Wensu was also about to turn over and get on the horse, and when he saw the little niece's happy look, he knew what the little niece was thinking, and he must be happy that he had won these rewards, and he also got ten taels of gold.
Thinking of the little niece's appearance as a wealth fan from childhood to adulthood, Liu Wensu shook his head and smiled, and said: "Wealth fan, your restaurant earns no less than this in a day, and you are still happy now, we should go back!" ”
Today's size is also a festival, and it is the first festival for the whole family to get together neatly, no matter what the festival is, everyone always has to get together, so it is said that Liu Wensu will be in the two-entry house of Daozheng Fang tonight.
At least half an hour before the curfew, and he was not in a hurry to rush back to Daozheng Fang, Liu Chenxing had time to finish talking slowly with Liu Wensu before leaving, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that the people around him were almost finished, and there was a hired groom beside him, so he was blunt.
The basket and Xia Bu who held the baby in his arms were placed at the door of the carriage, and Liu Chenxing said with a smile: "Uncle, I am happy to have been rewarded, and there are ten taels of gold, but I am even happier that it is good to participate in the imperial examination." Although the wife also has a rank, but it is a noble wife, but it is not much higher than the grade of Ah Xing, but today there are no kudzu cloths, fans and other things rewarded by the empress. ”
As he spoke, he glanced at the thing that had just been placed at the door of the car.
Liu Wensu resisted the urge to rub the little niece's head, looked at Liu Chenxing with doting eyes, and smiled in a warm voice: "Well, this is the gap between a female official and a wife." ”
When Liu Chenxing heard this, he immediately nodded and said: "Uncle, in fact, when I entered the main hall today, the attendant who led the way told me that the female official was sitting in the main hall and the wife was in the side hall, and I felt this way at that time." He smiled again, "But at the end of the day today, I feel more deeply, what wife is more expensive than her husband, and she is far less reliable than herself." ”
He remembered this scene, but he didn't notice that the little niece had thought so much at that time, Liu Wensu raised his eyebrows, and then his eyes deepened, and he didn't miss any opportunity to teach: "Since you feel so deeply, take this career path." Today, the saint has been in front of the ministers, and after deciding on the history museum, where you will go. The so-called Chrysostom Yuyan, you already have opportunities in the future, but you still need to have the corresponding strength to seize it. ”
"In short, your time in the History Museum shouldn't be too long, and you should take advantage of this time, and it's right to follow the light and cultivate obscurity."
