Chapter 66
After Guo Jun accepted Xue Chu'er, every time he returned to invite that group of scholars, they were set up in Chengnanzhuang, which was far away from the imperial city, and the scenery was good, and he had made a clear break with Princess Shengping's Mansion and Fenyang Mansion, so as not to fall into the hands of others.
That is to say, it is just that Guo Jiazaburo is a suave figure, and he always interacts with people in the teaching workshop and those romantic talents.
Every morning, he used a horse-drawn cart to pull dozens of stones of rice to the city gate, and as soon as the city gate opened, he set up a cauldron to make a fire, and boiled it for three or five hours, and when the rice brought with him on that day was consumed, he packed up his things and went back, which could not help three or five thousand people a day.
If he saw someone who was strong and strong, he would send him a clean cloth and try to recommend him to help in the city. He also called two doctors in the medicine collection bureau to sit for a consultation, boiled a few pots of some commonly used medicinal materials, and some of the victims who were sick could go to the doctor and receive medicine for free.
Guo Yan hid his heart, this day in Guanghuamen, tomorrow but to Kaiyuanmen, still soup porridge and rice, but the third day did not come, until the fifth day to go to Yanping Gate to give, the time and place is not very regular, lest someone only come every day to wait for almsgiving, and the whole city can know about this.
After giving in this way seven or eight times, the entire Chang'an City and nearby prefectures and counties knew that there was a handsome young man who was kind and charitable, and often gave porridge and rice outside Xicheng to relieve the victims and provide free free medical treatment.
After more than a month, it was the height of summer, the time of green and yellow harvest had long passed, and the victims of the disaster had been resettled a lot, Nian Yun saw that it was almost over, so he changed to order people to give porridge and rice twice a month, barely maintained, and no longer attended in person.
Those scholars also had a share, so they all wished that the whole world would know about it, and wrote many poems to praise this Guo family Xiaogolangjun.
For a while, Guo Xiaowu almost became synonymous with the savior, praising his handsome appearance, praising his talent, and touting him to save the common people.
Soon, there was a legendary text titled "The Biography of Princess Chu Xiao" in the market from Pingkang, which attracted a lot of idlers to copy it.
The legend is about a gorgeous princess during the period of Emperor Xiaojing of the Western Han Dynasty, who is not only beautiful in appearance, but also has all the virtues of kindness.
She lived a frugal and charitable life, and did not use gold and jade utensils in the house, but together with her brother she dressed up as an unknown teenager, and used the money she saved to buy rice, grain, and medicinal herbs to help the poor; She sympathized with the inferior and treated the slaves as kind as her own relatives, and she used her wisdom and beauty to save a talented girl in the Qinglou who had fallen into the dust by mistake; Her husband, King Chu Xiao, was slandered by the courtiers and eunuchs, and was suspicious of the emperor, who suggested that the emperor summon him back to Beijing to report on his duties, but the eunuchs planned to take the opportunity to murder him.
After the talented girl of the Qinglou learned about this, she tried everything she could, and with the help of other people who had received her favor, she finally exposed the conspiracy of the eunuchs and ministers in front of the emperor, and was able to set things right.
The story ends with the princess and the prince returning to the fiefdom to continue living under the support of the people, and the reunion of the talented girl in the Qinglou and her brother who is affectionate and righteous, which makes readers addicted.
Although the author of the story is alluding to the Han Dynasty, many people think that he is alluding to the current dynasty, but the good deeds have speculated that the princess in the story who made the three thousand beauties lose their color is the lady of Guangling County. For a time, many people copied one after another, and the supply of paper exceeded demand, causing the price of Chang'an's rice paper to rise by five dollars per roll.
Even, some people secretly hid in the streets outside the East Palace for several days, so that they were mistaken for thieves by the government, just to see how gorgeous the rare princess in the world was in the story.
After a long time, slowly no one bothered to guess who the author of the story was, and why he would write such a strange article, but the story was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, women and children knew it, and even people remembered more deeply than when the Shengping Princess Mansion and the children of the East Palace held a grand wedding, and the king of Guangling County had a peerless lady.
When the eldest son of the king of Guangling County reached the age of one, it was reasonable to hold a grand banquet to entertain the dignitaries in Chang'an City. But the crown prince has always been low-key, and in order to avoid being talked about, he only held a family banquet, which invited a few princes who were close to him, as well as several elders of the Guo Mansion.
In addition, the prince and Li Chun also invited some acquaintances.
Nian Yun pulled Zihou and said, "Brother Liu, I will introduce you to someone." ”
She has always been a man in men's clothing, but at this banquet, she wore a dignified skirt and a swaying step in her hair, which was full of noble lady. Liu Zihou was a little uncomfortable, but seeing that the wind at the door of the East Palace was very good, she was still acting well, so she slowly relaxed.
Nian Yun brought Zihou to Wang Shuwen: "Zihou, this is the prince serving Mr. Wang." ”
A few days earlier, Nianyun had threaded the needle and threaded the poems and texts of Zihou and read them to Mr. Wang, which was quite appreciated by Mr. Wang, so today he went further and introduced him to the acquaintance of the two, which can be regarded as a return for the peach.
Liu Zihou was originally an elected person, and because of Ding Wei's disappearance for two years, he naturally needed her to help, lead him to meet those who could speak in front of the saint, and pave the way for Liu Zihou's career.
A few more ladies came over here, and Nian Yun had no choice but to go and say hello, leaving the two to talk.
When he turned his head again, Mr. Wang had already staggered with his son, which showed that they hated to see each other late, talked very happily, and had a sense of the same as the hero.
Mr. Wang said to Nianyun: "There are such young talents in Chang'an City, Wang doesn't know how Mrs. Jun was introduced to me today!" ”
Nian Yun smiled and said a few perfunctory words, went to greet others, and whispered to Li Chun: "I said it really well, right?" Mr. Wang must be appreciative! ”
Because of his father-in-law Du Huangshang and the Guo family, Wei Zongren also had close contacts with the East Palace. Wang Shuwen had seen him a long time ago, and he was also very close to him.
Wei Zongren had already held the position of right picker earlier, and although the official was not big, he was able to see the emperor often. Wei Zongren has been very smart since he was a child, and his talent is no less than Liu Zihou, and what is even more rare is that he is very good at talking, although some people say that he is flattering, but he is really very popular with the saints.
These three talents are not weak in learning and resourcefulness, and when they got together, Wei Zongren asked about Zihou's plans.
Zihou said: "If you can stay in Chang'an and be a school scholar, it will be the best choice." ”
For the new science and technology scholars, most of them have to be sent out to the local area to be a small official, although they are parents and officials, and some of them are quite oily, but they may not have much hope in their careers, so they have to stay up for ten or twenty years, and wait for the emperor to think of this person again that day, so that there is a possibility of promotion.
Staying in Chang'an as a teacher, although the official position is not large, and the position is nothing more than sorting out some classics, he can read many ancient books and unique books to enrich his knowledge.
On the other hand, continue to stay in Chang'an to communicate with the nobles, and if there are new vacancies, it is good to get the news in time.
Mr. Wang looked at Wei Zongren and said, "This is very good, when there is a vacancy in the position of school scrivener, we will recommend it on my behalf." ”
This is You'er's first birthday banquet, and everyone is scrambling to come up to see this little birthday star. You'er is not afraid of life, he is very well-behaved in the arms of the nurse, and he smiles sweetly when he sees people, which makes everyone laugh, and he keeps praising him for being well-behaved and intelligent, and some people write poems to praise.
It is said that the child is the treasure of the mother, Nian Yunchu is a mother, knowing that everyone is polite, but he is still very happy, teasing the child on the side.
Li Chun was rare to see Nianyun so happy, and his heart was also very satisfied, seeing the child's pink makeup, it was really cute, and said with a smile: "I heard that children in Jiangnan have the custom of 'catching Zhou', do you know, Madame?" ”
Nianyun thought for a while and said, "I have also heard that there is indeed such a custom in Jiangnan, when the child is one year old, he will put a lot of things for him to grab at will, in order to test the corruption and foolishness. ”
Li Chunyin remembered that she had lived in Jiangnan, and she must also miss the customs and customs of Jiangnan, so she smiled and said: "Today is You'er's first birthday, why don't we learn to play with Jiangnan." ”
You'er's identity is not ordinary, she is the first eldest grandson of the East Palace, and she is also ranked before the throne. If you don't catch it well and take a fat powder hairpin ring, you are destined to be branded as a wine-colored person since childhood, and if you don't get it right, it will affect the fate of your life.
Guo Yan was a little hesitant, children's nature is naturally to like colorful and beautiful things, it is possible to catch anything, because he smiled: "What is accurate, I just think it is the latest and brightest than which thing!" ”
Li Chun said: "It's okay, just make a scene." ”
Nianyun had no choice but to respond and ordered the green pothos to prepare things.
In a short time, two large flat-headed tables were placed together in the main hall, covered with red brocade, and seals, scrolls, pens, inkstones, inkstones, account books, abacus, coins, hairpins, palace flowers, rouge, puppet toys, pastries and other things were placed around.
Nianyun asked the nurse to bring You'er and let him sit on the table. The nurses and maids next to him were afraid that he would catch the wrong thing and make the adults unhappy, so they kept pushing pen and ink seals and other things into his hand.
Li Chun walked to the side, told them to disperse, and said with a smile: "It's just a joke, don't take it too seriously." What can a child think, I think he is most likely to take food. ”
Nian Yun smiled: "That's not necessarily. Fortunately, the pothos didn't take a strand of hair here, You'er likes to grab the hair the most, I hug him, you hug him, which time is not grabbing a handful of hair and refusing to let go! ”
You'er pouted and looked up, as if she was dissatisfied with everyone making fun of him as a little monkey. looked around, and didn't seem to find what he liked, and when he looked up, he saw Li Chun leaning over to look at him, stretching out his white and tender little hand and grabbing the jade belt around Li Chun's waist, and laughing very loudly.
The maids all breathed a sigh of relief, and Nianyun teased: "I said that there seems to be something missing from the things prepared by the pothos, but it turns out that he didn't put his grandfather on the table." ”
Li Chun picked him up, but his little hand still refused to let go. Li Chun said with a smile: "This little cub, I'm afraid that I fell in love with him Lao Ziyu brought this green jade square-headed tiger." ”
Everyone laughed, and Guo Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, glad that this little nephew was still quite adaptable.
