Chapter 738: Twin Sister (1)
There was a black-faced old man carrying a wine jug and laughing.
"You all came to Beijing from other places, and the news is relatively closed."
Everyone looked at the old man and nodded together.
"Yes, we all arrived in the capital last night, old man, are you a local, you are well-informed, can you tell us?"
The black-faced old man stroked his beard and took a posture to speak.
"The emperor has been abiding by the system for the past three years, how can he marry a wife and have children, if he really marries a concubine, it will be announced to the world, don't you see that the emperor has not had a child born in the past three years, which means that there is no woman around him!"
In fact, the emperor's system is different from the ministers and the people, although there are many taboos, but the major affairs of the state still have to be dealt with by him, so it cannot be completely banned like ordinary people, it is more of a form of etiquette.
The man from before was still puzzled.
"I've been married to a wife for five years, and I don't have children, besides, the emperor has no children, do you want to tell us?"
The black-faced old man smiled again.
"Haha, you can't do that, of course the emperor has to say that this is a national event, which means that we have a great future!"
In fact, the old man is not very clear, he is half guessing.
The man from earlier was a little angry and cursed.
"Phew, you can't do it, your whole family can't do it!"
Everyone laughed, and someone asked the black-faced old man: "Senior, do you know what the Miss Sun family is, how could the emperor designate to marry a young lady from the former prefect's family?" ”
The black-faced old man was very proud, he twisted his beard and said to the people around him: "Have you heard all kinds of rumors, that the emperor's relatives are a bridge built by an adult surnamed Jane, that Lord Jane sent a picture to the emperor, the emperor heard that the person who wrote was a talented and beautiful young woman, so he was moved, and then they agreed on this marriage under the mediation of Lord Jane, the surname Jane's original career was hopeless, but because of this matter was appreciated and reused by the emperor, and now the official has been reinstated. ”
There was a yellow-faced man in the crowd pouting, he had been in the capital for two days and had heard a lot of news.
"What a word, and that Lord Jane is not reinstated as an official, but has become a deputy to the Privy Council!"
The black-faced old man was a little displeased.
"Why are you interrupting me, the old man hasn't finished speaking, the emperor surnamed Jian originally planned to reinstate him as an official, but later found that this person can figure out his intentions and is very capable, so he stayed in the capital and was promoted to the deputy envoy of the Privy Council!"
This Jian Chunye was originally an envoy of the Liangzhejiang Festival, and was later dismissed by Wang Zhaozhen in Jiangnan.
The yellow-faced man nodded.
"Yes, that's exactly the case, do you mean that Miss Sun is talented all over the world, and the emperor occasionally saw one of her words, and was impressed by the peerless talent of the person who painted, and fell in love with him at a glance, so he made this marriage?"
The black-faced old man was very displeased.
"Now that you know, come on!"
The yellow-faced man came to Beijing for two days, although he heard some legends, but he couldn't say why, and the people around him made a noise and asked the black-faced old man to continue.
The black-faced old man picked up the shelf and shook the flask.
"Most people know superficially about Lord Jane sending words to the emperor, and they only know one but not the other!"
The yellow-faced man looked incredulous.
"Cut, I only know one thing but I don't know the other, I've been in the capital for two days, you're bragging, right?"
The black-faced old man flashed with anger.
"You guy is endless, if you want you to say that you don't say it, you will say it as soon as I say it, don't listen if you know everything and don't want to listen to it!"
The people around nodded together.
"yes, you don't want to listen and play, don't interrupt!"
The yellow-faced man snorted, and then closed his mouth.
The black-faced old man glanced around and smiled.
"Okay, the old man will tell you some secret news, so that you guys can open your eyes!"
Someone urged: "Say, say it quickly, you won't be selling it anymore!" ”
The black-faced old man coughed and said, "Tell you, the second is a woman, her name is Sister Yingying." ”
The yellow-faced man couldn't help but interject again: "What Sister Yingying, did you make it up?" ”
The black-faced old man was furious: "Sister Yingying, you don't know, three years ago she was a big celebrity in our capital, and the name of Drunken Xiangju, which man doesn't know!" ”
The yellow-faced man snorted.
"It turned out to be an old bustard in a green building!"
As soon as he interjected, the person on the side pushed him out, this person was really annoying, and it affected everyone to listen to the story.
The black-faced old man continued: "This Sister Yingying is a little famous in the capital, when the Great Jingguo called, she fled quickly, and fled to She County, by chance, she entered the Sun Mansion to see Miss Sun, and was shocked for a while, so she brought Miss Sun's calligraphy and painting back to the capital, and this word was finally passed to the emperor by Lord Jane!" ”
Someone asked: "Why would an old bustard in the Qinglou go to buy Miss Sun's calligraphy and paintings, is the Sun family planning to sell her young lady to the Qinglou, and those calligraphy and paintings were actually seen by the emperor, almost impossible!" ”
The black-faced old man sneered and said, "Why don't you listen to me, so what are you talking about?" ”
The man rubbed his head.
"I heard in the teahouse last night that the real reason why the emperor married Miss Sun is because of the status of the Sun family, the Sun family has been an official for generations, there has been a prime minister in the family, and there are many other high-ranking officials, Miss Sun's father is named Sun Zuxuan, he is not a big official, he only became the prefect of Yuhang, but the Sun family has deep roots in the south of the Yangtze River, and the emperor married Miss Sun to calm people's hearts, he wants to tell the world that Dawei has not changed, and the emperor has not changed!"
The black-faced old man smiled disdainfully.
"That's all you heard yesterday?"
The man nodded.
"Yes, isn't that enough? The emperor proposed that the southerners move north, Miss Sun is a southerner, he did this to calm the people's hearts, this is for the sake of the country! ”
Everyone on the side nodded.
The black-faced old man twisted his beard and shook his head.
"What you heard is all fur, or listen to the old man, what you heard yesterday was wrong, completely outrageous, the real reason why the emperor married this Miss Sun is because she looks like a person, that is the little Oiran of the past!"
As soon as these words came out, the people around them all opened their mouths in shock.
The yellow-faced man asked in surprise: "What, how does the emperor know that Miss Sun looks like the little Oiran of the past?" ”
There is a legend in Gale City, saying that when the emperor was still the Nine Emperors, he had a crush on the little flower of the Frost Leaf Pavilion, and later the Emperor Taishang snatched love with a sword, so that they could not be together.
The experience of the little Oiran is legendary, because there is a lot of discussion in the market, and it was banned in the capital last year, but Zhaoju implements benevolent government, and the punishment for these gossip spreaders is not severe, so there are still people in private, and everyone knows that the little Oiran later became a concubine, but she retired and no longer appeared.
