The first time: the rain breaks the sorrowful thoughts, the wind stops the peony returns
The wind pushed open a window and landed right on the desk in the study, and the oil lamp was blown out. In the dimly lit room, on the small sandalwood table, under the carved window, there are several pots of Luoyang flowers placed in twos and threes. Every April, the house is dotted with Luoyang flowers, or petals, or flower fragrance, flying into the ordinary people's homes outside the wall. Tonight's Bianjing City is not as noisy as before, the heavy rain keeps knocking on the Goolan tile house, and the green board mud road also falls on the entire Yu Mansion.
Yu Jian called the female envoy at the desk: "Xinghua, you look for the fire primer and light the oil lamp."
"Master, it's not too early, let's rest early." The envoy took the fire primer and pointed at the oil lamp, which was still warm, and suddenly the room was bright again.
"How many days is it now?". Yu Jian asked softly.
Xinghua replied: "It's a watch day, the lord rests, the eldest lady is also waiting for the lord to rest."
"Xinghua, you go and tell the eldest lady that I will sleep in the study after I finish writing this recital, and tell her not to wait for me." Yu Jian glanced at the apricot blossoms, and then continued. "You've been in my house for more than three years, if I don't go back tomorrow, take some plates and go back to my hometown in Jiangxi."
Xinghua had tears in her eyes, and she knelt on the ground: "Master, you are going to drive the slave and maid away, although the slave and maid are grass people, but the slave and maid taught by my father before his death is to be a man to know how to repay his kindness, not to be an ungrateful villain, and now the lord wants to die for the country's society, how can the slave and the maid leave alone, and bear the grace of the lord's life."
Yu Jian helped the apricot blossom up, looked through the door, and watched the rain outside crackle and fall: "Alas, now that the official family has become an adult, the Queen Mother is still holding the government and the government, and the Queen Mother's party is in power and the opposition, I, Yu Jian, am afraid that this political affairs will come to an end."
In the early years, Yu Jian was still a scholar who went to Beijing to take the exam, relying on his own feet all the way from Fujian to Bianjing. When he left the homeland where he was born and raised, Yu Jian only carried a bookbasket and wore a long coat, and he was able to move forward without scruples by relying on his enthusiasm. The years have changed his face, but he has not changed his original intention. The imperial court is the place where people can change the most.
In the early morning, the sky was still gray, and there were some dots of rain left in the air, which were sprinkled straight towards the Yujia compound. The people in Bianjing City haven't woken up yet, the rain last night was too heavy, and the streets were empty, as if they had been washed by the heavy rain, but the heavy rain couldn't wash away the indignation in Yu Jian's heart.
"Official, I know what you think, although the official family has been wronged now, even if the queen mother is not the biological mother of the official family, it is also for the sake of the country, not to mention that even if it is a warning, it is not the turn of the official to go to the court to advise." Wang Wanjun sat on the stool and looked at Yu Jian with a reluctant expression.
Yu Jian looked at the eldest lady in front of him and said calmly: "What kind of person Yu Jian is, the eldest lady knows best, it's a pity that it's difficult for you, I think it's really ashamed that Lord Yuezhang entrusted you to me at the beginning."
Wang suddenly threw himself into the arms of thrift: "I'm just thinking about the officials, the officials still don't say these words, since the officials have decided that Wanjun will definitely swear to the death, I hope that the officials can return home safely today."
Yu Jian hugged Wang's shoulders and looked at her: "It's that I can't stand you." Lady, let you suffer".
"Official, how can you say that, our husband and wife share weal and woe, the blessing of the official is the blessing of Wanjun, and the disaster of the official is naturally the disaster of Wanjun."
"Don't say it, don't say it, lady, I'm leaving, you can pack your bags after breakfast." Walking out of the inner courtyard, Yu Jian summoned all the stewards in the family and entrusted them with everything, and embarked on the road to the court today.
The fishy smell of the earth permeates the entire Bianjing City, from the gate of Yufu to the outside of the three steamed bun shops and dotted taverns and teahouses, at a glance, there is no end in sight, occasionally there are a few sounds of beating people, but they are quickly hidden in the air. Yu Jian spent 20 years and saw the prosperity here. Looking back, just take a look, Yu Jian stood outside the palace wall at this time, but it felt like a dream.
Let's talk about this Yu Jian lady, she was the eldest daughter of the Hou Mansion, when her grandfather Wang Weizhen followed Emperor Taizu to make great contributions, and was posthumously awarded the Zhongshu Order after his death, and was posthumously named the king of Langya County. When it came to Wang Wanjun's father, Wang Zhiping's generation, although the family was not as good as before, it was also a dignified marquis. When Yu Jian was only a student who entered Beijing to catch the exam, Wang Zhiping fell in love with this student at a glance, and sure enough, Yu Jian entered the second place in the first class, and Wang Zhiping gave him the only daughter in the family. Yu Jian did not live up to Wang Zhiping's promotion, and he made remarkable achievements in the court, and he became the governor of the government when he was over forty years old.
Getting back to the point, Yu Jian and the hundred officials waited outside the Wende Hall for the Empress Dowager and the Emperor to start today's early dynasty.
"Lord Yu, can I have a book to play today"? The one who spoke was Chen Anqing, our sworn enemy of Yu Jianyu. Although the two of them have different political views, they are still in the same camp for the queen mother's return to the official family.
"Yo, isn't this the Imperial Doctor Chen, now that the body is well raised, I will go to the early court." Yu Jian said to him with a smile on his face.
Chen Anqing put his hands in his sleeves and said with a cheap look: "I heard that you have something big to play today, but you can't miss this excitement."
"Hahaha, it seems that you are still energetic, and you don't forget to quarrel with this little effort." The prime minister walked in from the outside, and when he saw the two of them mocking each other, he couldn't help but want to interject.
"Great Prime Minister" Yu Jian and Chen Anqing and other ministers shouted.
"Well, let's enter the hall, the Queen Mother and the official family have made Manager Wu pass on to us."
"Well, let's go, let's go," echoed the courtiers.
