Chapter 304: The Queen Mother's Birthday
In Dragon Slaying Village, although Ah Quan was unknown for a while, and he didn't raise his eyebrows until he was admitted to the exam, but in any case, he was still that simple and childish young man.
How did you get to the capital and be affected by the flashiness to become what you are today?
Especially the appearance of the pinnacle that Fang saw for the first time, which simply shocked Su Zijin.
She glanced at Ah Jing, and saw that she also had an extremely painful expression, knowing that her feelings were even worse, so she comforted: "That's it, since the matter has come to this, let's see how the government is convicted." ”
Ah Jing said with tears in her eyes: "He was reluctant to step on even a worm to death in the past, how could he do such a hurtful thing?" Owner of the village, there must be a misunderstanding in this. I don't believe it...... He, he's such a person. ”
Su Zijin sighed, "People are changeable, especially the extravagance in this capital is particularly serious, he has never been exposed to these before, and he is easily infected by this." ”
Therefore, people should not be disguised, and the sea should not be measured, and this is exactly the truth as the saying goes.
Ah Jing sobbed and said for a while, Su Zijin helped her out of the house and returned to the inn with the carriage.
Jinyiwei sent Ah Quan back to the inn and tied him to Lin Hanzhang's house before leaving.
Su Zijin was worried about Ah Quan's body, so he went to his house, and saw Lin Hanzhang sitting in the house drinking tea, and saw that Ah Quan seemed to be tired from tossing, plus he drank all day and night, and he was so tired that he fell asleep.
"He's asleep?" Su Zijin lowered his voice and asked.
Lin Hanzhang was also closing his eyes to recuperate, but after hearing Su Zijin's question, he nodded, "Hmm." I asked him for a while, but when he didn't answer, I put him to sleep. He gestured to the tea on the table, "I added something to it." ”
He took out a small porcelain vase from his bosom and put it on the table, "After all, he is a big living person, and it would be too troublesome if there was any movement, so why not let him fall asleep when he didn't have to be interrogated, and save him from having to send someone to take care of him." ”
"Does this powder damage people's bodies?" Su Zijin glanced at Ah Quan worriedly, "The last time I took him to the hospital, the doctor said that with me, Ah Quan's health is not very good......
Lin Hanzhang shook his head, "Miss Su is too worried, this official won't let him have an accident." At the moment, he is a very important person, and he has to send someone to ask for some supplements from the third prince, and find a doctor to hang this life for him. ”
Su Zijin breathed a sigh of relief, "If there is anything you need help with, please ask Lord Lin to speak." ”
At that time, in the Forbidden City.
Recently, after the imperial city feasted in the chrysanthemum garden in the autumn test, it was the birthday of the queen mother.
Originally, the Queen Mother's birthday banquet was to be organized, but this time the chrysanthemum feast cost a lot of financial resources, so the birthday banquet ceremony department wanted to make a big splash, and in the end all the ideas could only be silenced.
Not to mention that the queen mother was originally powerless in the palace, so the Ministry of Rites handed the emperor an excerpt this time, saying that the treasury was empty, and the chrysanthemum feast had consumed a lot, and the birthday banquet should be simple at this time.
Since this birthday is held every year, Emperor Jiayi can only breathe a sigh of relief and approve the arrangement on the excerpt.
Shen Huaijin, as Prince Gong, naturally has to work hard for this birthday banquet, and Xue Tao, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, has always been undecided, no matter what, he must first write an excerpt to ask Emperor Jiayi what he means.
It was a delay to come and go, so Emperor Jiayi returned to Xue Chen, and the future news was discussed with Prince Gong.
Therefore, Shen Huaijin is on an errand at this time.
was originally going to prepare for a trip to Yingzhou, but now he has to make time to discuss the matter of the Queen Mother's birthday banquet with this Xue Tao.
Inside the Prince's Palace.
Xue Tao saw that Shen Huaijin was concentrating on checking the map, and he didn't dare to come forward to disturb, so he stood silently aside, and this stop was an hour.
When Shen Huaijin raised his head and wanted to take a sip of tea, he found Xue Tao standing at the door, hanging his head and remaining silent.
Xue Tao is diligent in his work, but there is only one thing that makes Shen Huaijin very disgusted, that is, his rigid energy.
If it was difficult for him to understand the pain of the emperor's daily affairs before, this time only one Xue Tao would have made him very aggrieved.
Yes, Shen Huaijin could only hold back his breath and raise his head, still with a kind smile on his face, "Xue Shangshu is looking for me, is there something wrong?" ”
Xue Tao agreed, hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, and said, "Weichen has a matter, and he has to ask Prince Gong for advice." ”
After saying that, he took out a booklet from his bosom, "This is what Liu Shangshu of the household department asked me to bring to Prince Gong, saying that he has been doing things in the palace for the past few days......"
"Errands?"
The corners of Shen Huaijin's mouth hooked up a shallow smile, "Aren't you playing cards?" The last time I heard him say that to the head of the war. ”
"Yes, it's a card ......" Xue Tao's forehead was piled up with fine beads of sweat, "Weichen came today to ask the Queen Mother which ceremony to move." ”
"Isn't the birthday of the Queen Mother usually arranged with a ceremony?"
Xue Tao nodded, "That was in previous years, and this year I handed the excerpt to the emperor, and Liu Shangshu also told me that there is a shortage of money and food at the moment, so this Guili must be unworkable." ”
Shen Huaijin was still looking at other documents in his hand, and when he heard him say this, he said, "Then go down one level, how about the ceremony?" ”
Xue Tao hesitated, "But usually the county lord is the gift, how can the queen mother be equal to the county lord's gift?" ”
Shen Huaijin was silent for a moment and said: "Xue Shangshu, since the emperor agreed, naturally the queen mother and her old man agreed." If you do the prostration, will someone condemn you? ”
Xue Tao was scolded by Shen Huaijin, and then he found that he couldn't say anything to refute.
Lian Sheng responded: "What the prince said is very true, then this year it will be done according to the ceremony." ”
was about to leave, but was stopped by Shen Huaijin, "Naturally, you can't all come according to Lilly." You just have to fold between the rites and the rites, otherwise wouldn't you offend my emperor on the one hand, and the queen mother on the other? ”
"What Prince Gong said is very true, Weichen has been taught."
After saying that, he bowed down to Shen Huaijin, and then left.
Shen Huaijin looked at the figure of this person leaving and sighed, "It's really pedantic, when will there be a few flexible talents in the imperial court." ”
After saying that, he heard a burst of laughter like a silver bell floating into the house, and Shen Huaijin's forehead jumped, and sure enough, it was Shen Ruying.
Since he returned to the palace, Shen Ruying only hated that she couldn't connect with him every day, she would go wherever he went, and finally prevaricated her with state affairs, who knew that as soon as Xue Tao left, she entered the house and brought another bowl of soup in her hand.
