Chapter 238: A New Year
Chapter 238: A New Year
Several of the most noble women in the Daqing Dynasty gossiped and ate fragrant meals, and gradually quieted down. Forrest gump
This year, there have been many disputes, and it is not easy to have a border matter, a matter in the capital, and a New Year's feast, which is a little more festive than in previous years.
Sheng, singing and dancing, peaceful and prosperous!
Gu Wan drank a little wine, the wine was good wine, not intoxicating, but the slightly drunk taste made people indulge in it, she held her chin and raised her eyes into the distance.
The main hall of Qi'an, the lights are all over the sky, the long jade steps, covered with bright red and bright felt carpets, and the large pots of flowers and bonsai, in such a winter day, bloom luxuriantly, as if stepping on the auspicious clouds and dancing girls, accompanied by first-class piano music, throwing their sleeves and dancing.
Gu Wan listened attentively, only to feel that the sound of bamboo, the sound of the sound was in her ears, which set off the smiling faces of everyone in the hall, and she was even more happy.
The others were probably in a good mood, at least the emperor's face was not as impatient as he had been before.
In the middle of the night, after watching the dazzling fireworks, the banquet finally ended, Gu Wan personally helped Liu, escorted her to the chariot, and told the palace people to be careful on the road, so she also took the chariot and left the palace.
Mu Qi left a little earlier, waiting for her at the gate of the palace.
The man didn't sit in the car, but stood under the tree, wearing a dark official uniform, just standing there usually, wearing stars and moons, but Gu Wan felt that all the men in the world would not be more beautiful than this man.
On Chinese New Year's Eve, Dayong rarely has no curfew.
The curtain of the car fell, and through the thin curtain, Gu Wan vaguely saw the flat street. Listen to the noisy sound of wheels crushing on the bluestone ground, because it is an inner city, mostly inhabited by princes and princes, even if it is supposed to be a lively Chinese New Year's Eve. It also seems quiet.
It's just a cup of tea. Go back to the Seven Kings' Mansion.
Mu Qi got out of the car, held Gu Wan's hand, and hugged her down with a smile, his thick black hair hung down on Gu Wan's shoulder, with a charming dark fragrance. This incense was smoked by Gu Wan for him, which was most in line with her preferences, and she felt very comfortable smelling it at this time.
Because it's the New Year's Day. Mu Qi doesn't have to work, it's rare to have leisure, and he accompanies Gu Wan and his brother all day long. It's just that this New Year's Festival passed too quickly, and it was the fifteenth day of the first month in a blink of an eye.
Bao Sheng took a group of little girls, and together with Gu Wan, cooked a variety of stuffed Lantern Festival.
In the evening, everyone in the palace waited, and each person served a bowl, Gu Wan and Mu Qi also took a few blue and white porcelain bowls, small white round balls, with elegant bowls and chopsticks. //.. Exquisite and beautiful.
Mu Qi looked at Huanxi and swallowed two of them in one bite, but he was a little choked and panicked, and poured two bowls of soup in a row, and felt that the Lantern Festival was blocked in his throat and couldn't go. Gu Wan smiled. Chew slowly and savor five in small bites. wiped his mouth and went back to the house in a slight, leaving Mu Qi staring at the delicious food in the pot.
The Chinese New Year is actually very tiring, not only the common people are tired, but the royal family and nobles are even more tired, and probably only carefree children are really happy.
After the New Year's Festival, Mu Qi was sad that his family was going to be arrested by the emperor as a coolie again, Gu Wan was relieved, although there were a lot of socials on weekdays, but there were too many during the New Year, so much that it made people upset and irritable.
As soon as the Spring Festival passes, it will soon be a spring flower.
Maybe Mu Yanxu had an idea for a long time, maybe it was the Liu family who blew the wind in his ears, and as soon as the New Year came, he ordered to go down and let the children in the Mu family's clan, regardless of male or female, enter the palace to study at the age of five.
A Yong'an Palace and Changle Palace were specially opened up as a place for the children of the clan to study, Yong'an Palace accepted boys, and Changle Palace accepted girls.
This will, some people praise, there are also doting on the child people are not happy, the boy is fine, but the girl also enters the palace to study, there are parents who are worried about the child's reputation, although not in the palace, but usually there are many big classes, it seems that it is likely to be together, and there are many times to meet, in case it has an impact on the reputation, then how can it be.
Besides, who knows if the things taught in the palace are appropriate, whether they can be used by their daughters, and what girls have to learn, such as Gu Nan and Liu Jin, I am afraid they don't know.
However, Mu Yanxu didn't force it, it was all voluntary, now there are still few children in the clan, and it doesn't seem crowded to enter the palace to study, but in more than ten years, there will be more and more children in the clan, I'm afraid that if you want everyone to enter the palace to study, you won't be able to do it.
There are really many people who are worried about their children's hardships and are not happy, so almost half of the school-age children who entered the palace to study this year are less than half, and there are even fewer girls, only three.
A few years later, all the children of the clan who entered the palace to study either made their own progress and earned a future, or they relied on the suggestions of their classmates to mix quite well, and there were even many children who were not qualified to take the knighthood and got the title by their own ability.
And the girl who entered the palace to study not only has outstanding knowledge and is admirable, but also got an excellent marriage - Liu himself is the matchmaker, how can the marriage be bad.
Moreover, when they are in the palace, they can often follow the queen to see the wife, and they are taught to know that they are scholars, so they will naturally be favored by others.
In this era of parental matchmaking, girls' social interaction is very important, not only to see whether the girl herself is good, but also to see what kind of interpersonal relationships she can bring, how many handkerchiefs she makes, and what kind of people her best friends have married.
Obviously, raised in the palace and has a close relationship with a group of people at the top of the country, such a girl can definitely handle it, and others can't find fault with it at all.
Parents who were not happy to have their children in the palace to study in the past were also moved, but at this time, it is not so easy to enter the palace to study.
As for Mr., Mu Yanxu picked Gu Nan and Liu Yin, and the other gentlemen were in charge of the two of them. Of course, if it is said that these two people are selected, that is, they manage them, it is impossible for these two famous people in the world to really run to enlighten a group of primary school students, and they can occasionally point out in their spare time, which is enough for a group of clan disciples to be of infinite use.
Gu Wan got the news, and definitely waited for Brother Liu'er to reach his age and enlighten him, and then sent him to the palace to study.
She heard in later generations that the prince of the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty studied very hard, and it was not easy to live in the palace, but Gu Wan still felt that enlightenment education should be strict, so as to lay a good foundation, so that the children would not feel that learning was hard, just like herself, when Lord Chen enlightened her, it was also all kinds of oppression, and she didn't come over smoothly?
As for the complex environment of the palace, it doesn't matter, it can be mixed in a complex place, and in other relatively simple environments, it is easy to live like a fish in water.
Besides, as a brother who stays behind, can he still be wronged?
The days passed, and in the summer, all the powerful people in the capital, including the emperor, should have gone to Zhuangzi to escape the summer, but because Liu's body was getting heavier and heavier day by day, seeing that the melons were about to ripen, the emperor waved his hand, and he didn't go to the summer this year, and the emperor didn't go.
Gu Wan is okay, there is no shortage of ice in the palace, and it is a big deal to use more ice when it is hot, but the other ministers are extremely miserable, and the heat is not good, so they still have to endure it.
Mu Yanxu and Mu Yanzhao, the two brothers, occasionally get together to laugh and watch the excitement.
Gu Wan and Liu were both very speechless about their bad taste.
Mu Yanxu just frowned and said: "At the beginning, I saw that they were very hot, so I said that they should tie a few buttons less, or put a few pots of ice in the main hall, and the group of political affairs halls...
