Chapter 239: Changes in the Capital (26)
On a May day, in Yancheng, the breeze made people feel refreshed and in a much better mood.
There are many salt farms in Yancheng, legal and illegal abound, but the legal ones can produce salt in a bright way, and those illegal salt farms can only start secretly at night, which can be regarded as a default thing.
The night before, Jing Yu had already instructed the people below to deal with the sale of illicit salt, and on the second day, Jing Yu took Shang Liyuan to Yancheng with great interest.
Jing Yu took Shang Liyuan to Yancheng Water Street, Yancheng Water Street is close to the Chuanchang River, where you can see and watch folk performances and cultural performances, taste local snacks, and is the first choice in Yancheng.
After the two had breakfast, they walked outside, and in the morning, the water street was already full of people, and the lively scene made Shang Liyuan's heart open up a lot, and the bustling crowd finally felt a little more lively.
Walking to the Peony Pavilion, Shang Liyuan suddenly remembered "The Soul of the Peony Pavilion", it just so happened that there was already a troupe singing in the pavilion, and it was this play that was sung.
The Peony Pavilion Soul Returning Story tells the story of Du Liniang, the daughter of the official family, who fell in love with Liu Mengmei, a scholar in her dreams, and died of her injuries, turned into a soul to find her lover in reality, fell in love with people and ghosts, and finally came back to life, and finally married Liu Mengmei forever.
Shang Liyuan, who doesn't like to listen to dramas, actually listened to it with relish, Jing Yu didn't bother, looking at Shang Liyuan who was fascinated by listening to the play, knowing that she must have remembered her previous life again, in addition to being sad, she didn't dare to come forward to comfort her, and she didn't know how to talk to her.
After the play, Shang Liyuan came back to her senses, felt a gaze, turned her head to look at Jing Yu, Jing Yu seemed to be caught, tilted her head to the side in embarrassment, and coughed lightly to hide her embarrassment.
"Where next?" Shang Liyuan broke the silence and asked out loud.
"I'll take you to listen to Huai Opera." Jing Yu's original plan was to take Shang Liyuan to listen to Huai Opera in the morning and go to see the incense show in the afternoon.
This time happens to be the Yancheng Incense Festival, and the people of Yancheng will carry out witchcraft activities during this time, praying for a good harvest and doing the Green Seedlings Association and the Seedling Meeting; Yanfu eliminates disasters and does the Taiping Society, Mars Society, etc.
Today, I will take Shang Liyuan to see the Qingmiao Club and the Jia Miao Club, and then go to Xixi Taishan Huguo Temple tomorrow to participate in the Taiping Meeting and Mars Meeting.
Shang Liyuan has no objection to the itinerary.
The two continued their journey lively, and Shang Liyuan's people also worked closely to do what Shang Liyuan ordered.
In the capital
Several days have passed since the wedding of several princes, and although no one in the court has mentioned the injury of King Huai now, everyone knows in their hearts that when the deadline for half a month arrives, there will naturally be a result.
No matter who planned this matter, what is the truth of the matter, he always has to give an explanation to King Huai.
The emperor's attitude this time is really unpredictable, the matter of King Huai was thoroughly investigated, but the matter of King Yi was directly stopped, how strange is this.
But who made the emperor speak, the people below can only do their best to do things.
Although Sun Shangshu entrusted the emperor with important tasks for his subordinates, he still had to cooperate with Li Li on the surface, and he was aggrieved when he thought about it.
Li Li took over the task of investigating the matter from Sun Shangshu, and he also tried his best to investigate, and found some clues in the direction he said last time. Li Li kept the evidence he had collected secret and presented it directly to the emperor.
When the emperor received the evidence presented by Li Li, he also pressed it down, and waited until the deadline was reached, and then decided on the matter.
The former dynasty and the harem were planning their own affairs, and a terrifying thing happened in the Shang Mansion at this time.
Aunt Zhong of Shangfu was born prematurely.
Mingyun was pregnant and didn't go to Aunt Zhong's yard, so this matter naturally fell on Aunt Hua.
"Quick, go and inform the master."
Shang Rong is now at home, eating and drinking with friends during the day, but also having a leisurely time, today's court meeting, Shang Rong has no one to make an appointment, so he has to stay in the house, Shang Rong, who is reading on the desk in the study, heard a quick knock on the door.
"Master, Aunt Zhong is about to give birth." Butler Gu's voice came from outside the door.
When Shang Rong heard this, he stood up and walked towards the door, "Aunt Zhong is about to give birth?" ”
"Yes, master, Aunt Hua asked the master to come over." Steward Gu hurriedly ran over, and he was still a little out of breath at this time.
"Why are you still stunned, let's go." After confirming, Shang Rong strode towards Aunt Zhong's yard, Steward Gu had not yet caught his breath, and followed behind Shang Rong, it was also difficult for Steward Gu to be old and tossed like this.
Shang Rong arrived at Aunt Zhong's yard as quickly as possible, not because he was worried about Aunt Zhong, nor did he like this child very much, but for Shang Rong, the recent Shang Mansion really needed popularity, and he urgently needed an heir to pave his way, or he urgently needed a daughter to marry.
But Shang Rong didn't want to think about it, at his current age, when his daughter grew up, he didn't know anything about the world at that time, there were too many unknown things, and he couldn't predict it at all.
"Sir, you're here." When Aunt Hua saw Shang Rong coming, her eyes darkened, and then she said to Shang Rong with a smile.
"How's it going?" Shang Rong asked anxiously and expectantly.
"The midwife and the house doctor have all gone in, and I think I will be able to give birth soon." Aunt Hua told the truth.
"Why did the doctor go in with him?" Shang Rong was displeased.
"Uh..."Aunt Hua was stunned, and then explained, "The midwife said that my sister had no strength to give birth, and it was a premature birth, and both adults and children were in danger. ”
"Forget it." Shang Rong waved his hand when he heard this.
Aunt Hua finally breathed a sigh of relief, she was afraid that Shang Rong would blame, after all, no one wanted her daughter to be looked at by other men.
There was a midwife's voice in the house asking Aunt Zhong to 'exert herself', and Aunt Zhong's increasingly faint shout, and suddenly an 'ah' resounded in the sky, Shang Rong turned his head to look at Aunt Hua, "What's the matter?" ”
"The concubine doesn't know." Aunt Hua was also stunned.
After speaking, the midwife and others in the house all stumbled out, babbling something.
Aunt Hua grabbed one of them casually and asked sharply, "Why did you all come out?" ”
"Freak, freak. It's a freak. The midwife's face was full of fear, and after she finished speaking, she broke free from Aunt Huahua's hand, and she couldn't care about the blood stains on her hands, so she ran away in fright.
The midwife's words made Aunt Hua and Shang Rong unclear So, the doctor came out at the end and walked in front of Shang Rong, with a look of confusion and embarrassment.
"Say, what's going on?" Shang Rong's deep voice made the house doctor tremble, and he knelt down, "Master, Aunt Zhong... Aunt Zhong gave birth to a freak. ”
"What nonsense?" Aunt Hua saw that Shang Rong's face was not good, and although she was happy that Aunt Zhong's child had a problem, she still had to do her face.
