Chapter 5 A man attains the Tao and the chicken dog ascends to heaven
The days passed quickly, the Huangli Palace had been completed, and Wang Songbai led his maids and concubines to move in as a matter of course. However, no matter what Wang Songbai was, he still left the main hall empty, and did not dare to use the Shizi ceremony, but he also paced in the hall for a long time, and saw that the old national teacher personally arranged the crane pattern case furniture, and saw that there were pear blossoms in full bloom in the courtyard, and he was even more exclaimed.
The pear blossom is the national flower, only in Shanglin Garden, Tianji Palace, ordinary people can only see it in the painting.
"This daughter is really worth living!" Wang Songbai thought to himself. He chose a courtyard in the west, named Tingzhuju, and took it upon himself to divide the small courtyard around it to his concubines, so that the servants lived in the nearest subordinate room.
"What a luxury! What a luxury! He sighed while touching the table of eight immortals made of pure rosewood.
"Congratulations, sir!" Aunt Zhu was clever and knelt down to salute first.
"Congratulations, sir!" A room of warblers and warblers Yanyan said gracefully.
"Good! Good! Hahaha! ......" Wang Songbai's face was full of red light excitedly, and he sat down in the main hall of Tingzhuju, "Let's get up." ”
…………
It is February of the following year, and Jiang Li is about to usher in his first birthday.
The banquet is extremely luxurious, the whole world celebrates, and the specifications are grand that has not appeared in the South Pear Country for many years.
The palace banquets of the Nanli Palace are all held in the Purple Qi Donglai Palace. The crystal is the lamp, the Hetian jade is the wall, the high-grade red sandalwood is the beam, the top is hung with the night pearl the size of an adult's fist, inlaid in the white jade lamp in the shape of a pear flower, and the layers of light are shining brightly, like bright stars.
The ground is paved with warm jade from the south sky, and the temperature rises when you step on it in cold weather, and it is cool and comfortable in the hot summer.
From there, the king and queen climbed the stairs and sat on the throne. Queen Sun held a pear blossom white brocade quilt with a golden branch auspicious cloud crane pattern in her arms, and a little baby girl was wrapped in the quilt, which was a ginger pear.
Queen Sun wore a purple and gold phoenix crown, and wore a gold and silver silk hundred birds and phoenix re-embroidered court clothes, which looked graceful and luxurious, and dazzling.
The banquet was full of jubilation, the warblers sang and danced, and the planning was staggered, and it was very lively.
According to the rules, Jiang Li should go out of the palace and enter his mansion, Queen Sun is reluctant, but she doesn't dare to break the rules of her ancestors. Anyway, Wang Songbai still lives in Huangli Palace, so let Ah Li go first for the time being, and then allow her to enter the palace from time to time.
Jiang Li and his intelligence, soon after the age of one, will be able to speak and read, but I am afraid that it will not be long before I can compose poems. Jiang Jing comforted the queen and said that Ah Li was smart and sensible early, and he was afraid that he would not suffer a loss, so Queen Sun was reluctant to let go.
But no matter how smart Jiang Li is, she is just a little baby who has just passed the age of one. The national teacher couldn't bear to have Jiang Li left unattended, so he invited himself to live in Huangli Palace temporarily and leave when the princess was six years old.
As a result, the huge Huangli Palace was divided into two halves. The main hall is called Zhaoyang Palace, which was originally used by Jiang Jing to meet with ministers. And the king's dormitory has been renovated, which has increased the interest of his daughter's house, but the name is lifeless, his real name is Gaomen Palace, Jiang Li felt that it didn't make sense when he was three years old, so he changed the Yaoguang Palace casually. The national teacher temporarily resides in the Ande Palace.
There are also Qingxue Pavilion, Yuyu Xuan, and Xiangxue Hall planted with pear blossoms for enjoyment. Several acres of ponds in Huangli Palace are planted with lotus, and there are several pavilions built on the side of the pond, Huanxi Pavilion, Changtianlou, Pillow Xia Pavilion and so on. The rest of the courtyards are all waiting for the ginger pears to grow up and are used to support the guests.
The other half has long been occupied by Wang Songbai. He lived in Tingzhuju, raised Cui Ying'er as his aunt, and lived in Luanming Pavilion. There was Aunt Zhu at home, who lived in Chenfeng Building; Aunt Liu, living in Yunxuan.
Just because there is such a daughter in the family, Wang Songbai is hot, and he continued the string soon after the death of the original wife, and took the daughter Li Ruodie, the left deputy capital of the Inspectorate, Li Qiancheng.
People often say that people are like their names, but this Mrs. Li is not as fluttering as a butterfly and gentle as water. Everyone knows the anecdote of the Wang family, this lady is a Hedong lion. She got married at the age of 20, with Wang Songbai, who was nearly 30 years old, and she was proud of her noble birth, scholarly family, and her father and brother's official position was quite high, and she looked down on her husband a little.
Wang Songbai suddenly made a fortune again, and he never wanted to be sneered at by a little woman, but because of the identity of his father-in-law, he tolerated and courteous him everywhere, and treated this Mrs. Li very well in the eyes of everyone. So, Li Qiancheng donated a petty official for him.
In the past, although Wang Songbai was hot, he did not have an official position, and if the people in Yang Du wanted to be close to flattery, they had no way to start. In addition, Wang Songbai is very good at being a man, and now he is good, within a few months, he has risen from a seven-grade point book to a third-grade Shuntianfu Yin, and he is in the limelight for a while.
It didn't take long for him to get carried away and take in several concubines and aunts. Li Ruodie was so angry that she slapped Wang Songbai in front of many domestic servants. He couldn't hold his face, so he threatened to divorce his wife.
In fact, how could he really dare?
First, the Li family has a very high prestige in the court, although Li Qiancheng's official position is not very high, but he is also a veteran of several dynasties. If it weren't for Li Ruodie's inability to marry, even if she was in her current status, she would never be able to marry such a noble wife.
Second, he has just been promoted, and if he wants to divorce his wife at this moment, it will definitely attract rumors, which will be harmful to his career.
Third, although Li Ruodie is spicy, she is also very beautiful and charming. If you endure it like this, it's okay.
That night, Wang Songbai came to Liuhuatang alone, closed the door and knelt down to admit his mistake to Li Ruodie, and the matter was over.
However, the man has gold under his knees, although he doesn't say it on his face, but Wang Songbai is resentful in his heart after all, so the two gradually have an estrangement.
Huangli Palace was originally the palace of the Wang family, coupled with the later expansion, the residence of Wang Songbai and his wife and concubine is extremely far away from the main hall where Jiang Li lives, walk slowly, and walk for at least two hours. He simply opened a small door on the west side to make it easy to enter and exit.
In this way, it was divided into two families, and it was also happy and convenient for each other. Wang Songbai was naturally enthusiastic to be his official, and he accepted a concubine in a few months, and soon Li Ruodie gave birth to a white and chubby eldest son and daughter, which was smooth sailing. Jiang Li was raised by the old national teacher, learned to read and write, and her every move was dignified and calm, not like a child at all.
By the time Jiang Li was fifteen years old, she already had three younger brothers and four younger sisters.
The younger brothers are named Wang Zicong, Wang Ziyu, and Wang Zijue. The younger sisters are named Wang Wenqiu, Wang Yeqiu, Wang Zheqiu, and Wang Yunqiu.
The eldest brother and second brother and second sister were all born by Li Ruodie, the eldest sister was born by the late Aunt Su, the third brother was born to Aunt Liu, and the third sister and fourth sister were all daughters of Aunt Zhu.
With such a thriving population, a small half of Wang Songbai's territory is almost full. It's really like a big family.
