Chapter Seventy-Nine: Catching the Week
The north of the imperial tomb is Yiyun Mountain, with mountains and mountains, and it is extremely quiet. The clattering horses' hooves snapped on the bluestone, and they could be transmitted far away. It stands to reason that an identity like Lian Lin Tianyu cannot enter the imperial mausoleum, and this time he followed behind Anzi as a chaperone.
Anzi couldn't tell how he felt when he walked on the road, he hadn't even seen the queen mother, all the impressions came from other people's accounts, and there was no strong feeling.
When I entered the imperial mausoleum, the first feeling was a kind of coldness, there was no one here for a long time, there was no life, and the ceremonial officials who came to greet him looked extremely lifeless. Anzi went to the mausoleum of the Empress Yuan, and Anzi really couldn't give birth to more emotions, so he just put on a stick of incense and went out. Lin Tianyu is different, he has a lot to say in front of the tomb of Empress Yuan.
Anzi went out, and next to it was a small house, in which were some relics of the Yuan Queen. Anzi pushed open the door and walked in, the middle seat is a portrait of the Yuan Hou, in the spring, the apricot blossoms are falling, the woman stands in front of the flower tree, smiling brightly.
"It turns out that she is like this......" Anzi felt that all the nostalgia began to have a clear imprint, and the outline of her mother began to become clear.
Lin Tianyu chattered in front of the mausoleum for an afternoon, and Anzi stayed in this room for an afternoon. From looking at the portraits, to reading the books she read before her death, and watching the piano she played during her lifetime.
In the evening, Anzi and Lin Tianyu walked out of the mausoleum together, both of them were not in a good mood, Anzi looked at Lin Tianyu's eyes were red and swollen, and the two walked silently. It was not until in front of the palace gate that they parted ways.
In the evening, Qi Nanxing took time out to dine with Anzi. The food at night was light, and the father and son didn't have so many rules, leaving only Father-in-law Wan to serve alone. Qi Nanxing sandwiched a piece of yam in Anzi's bowl, "This yam is good, it's good for the body to eat it, come, taste it." ”
Anzi picked up the yam, "Can you tell me what kind of person she is?" ”
"Your mother?"
"I ...... I don't remember her at all. ”
Qi Nanxing touched his head, "I don't blame you, you were too young at that time." Let's eat first, have dinner, and talk about it well. ”
After eating, I sat down with a pot of thin wine and a cup of tea like many ordinary couples to miss the woman.
"Your mother's mother was round when she was young, I remember the first time I saw her in the snow, I thought it was a snow ball, but I didn't expect it to move, and I was scared of it......"
"Your mother is bold, the master who taught painting at that time had a strange temperament, and the emperor often didn't give face, but your mother was used to being coquettish and stupid. When he made a fuss, he went to pull the beard of the old lady...... It's also strange that the old man just loves her. I'll leave a lot of treasures to your mother...... The painting under the apricot blossoms was painted by him. Your mother is very precious, I think it's average, so I can only draw her five points of charm......"
One year, she ran away from home because she was forced to learn embroidery. climbed over the wall and went out of the yard, accidentally stepped on the slip and fell off the wall...... My arms are broken, but I'm still happy in the back...... Said that there is no need to learn embroidery anymore. Later, I learned it all...... When she was still well, she made you some close-fitting clothes, shoes and socks, and I put them all away for you......"
She likes to read, and after reading it, she will say some strange and crooked theories, but she can't refute them. She likes it when people talk about her, and her eyes will smile at that time......"
Qi Nanxing didn't know how many glasses he had drunk, and he felt a little drunk inexplicably, drunk in the bright eyes of the woman, drunk in that period of time that could never be returned.
Anzi listened to him silently, and finally saw him crooked at the table, and was about to help him to rest, when Gonggong Wan came up: "Come on, old slave, Your Highness." ”
Anzi didn't interfere again, stayed by the side for a while, walked out of the temple gate, and walked towards the Alder Pavilion.
In the evening, Anzi had a dream in which a plain-clothed woman was making a pair of tiger head shoes with stitches and threads. When I woke up on the second day, it seemed that my pillow was a little wet, and I cried? Probably.
The work of being willing to work in Yangzhou for two months is getting more and more hands-on, and soon the children will be one year old. Yangzhou here pays special attention to grasping the week, and when the child is one year old, he should make new clothes for the children, and then catch the week after bathing and dressing up.
Catch Zhou's things have been prepared a long time ago, and what Huai is prepared for is: seals, ponies, three-character scriptures, pens, ink, paper, inkstones, abacus, bows and arrows, etc., Banxia doesn't remember where to see it, there is a child who caught a box of rouge when he caught Zhou, Yu Huai is white and pure, if he really grows into a sissy like Jia Baoyu along the grab, it is estimated that he will cry to death.
After Banxia was arranged, Gan Sui brought the child over. Yu Huai looked left and right, twisted his little ass happily, and grabbed the seal with his fart.
"The little boy grabbed the seal, and in the future, he will also be prosperous with the general official fortune of the adult, and the ...... of soaring" Xiangyu had already consulted with those old people who knew etiquette to clarify these etiquettes, and Yu Huai began to say auspicious words as soon as he grabbed something. Yu Huai licked the seal, well, it was not delicious, quickly threw it away, and picked up the abacus next to him. The abacus shook and rattled, but he was so happy that he held on to it. "Mother...... Mother...... "This sounds good." Yu Huai would call her mother when she was nine months old, and the soft and glutinous cry really made Banxia feel like tears in her eyes. Gan Sui recently riveted enough to let him learn to call his father, but he couldn't, but he was angry enough.
"Young master, this is going to be an official in charge of money." When they met, they immediately came back to the conversation.
When the streamer caught Zhou, he removed the bow and arrow on the table and the three-character scripture and the like, and added rouge gouache, silk flowers, piano chess, etc., and the streamer was still dozing off when he was picked up, and the child didn't know what was wrong with him after eight months, and he liked to sleep very much, and there was no time to wake up. I asked a doctor to see it, but I didn't see a problem.
"Come, streamer to see what you like?"
"Sleepy!" The streamer easily does not speak, and when he speaks, he must express what he needs most in his heart.
"Catch it and go to sleep!"
Banxia looked at her ignorant little appearance and pinched her little face.
Only then did the streamer start to catch Zhou, looked left and right, and picked up a golden thing casually. handed it to his mother, and buried it in his mother's chest and fell asleep.
"What is this?" Banxia didn't remember that he was going to have this thing, so he took it and saw that it was actually a dagger.
"This seems to be a small dagger for self-defense that my uncle bought for the young lady and the young master, how did I get it here. Why don't you let the young lady catch it again? ”
"Forget it, they're all asleep. That's it, at least prove that the martial arts are strong. "Besides, this girl is very angry when she gets up, and Banxia usually doesn't quarrel with her when she sleeps.
Then he looked at Gan Sui: "Look at your daughter, you grabbed a murder weapon, what should I do if I can't marry in the future if I am so powerful?" ”
"Our family is still young, it's too early to worry about these things, and besides, even if I don't marry, I can afford to support her." How can a casual pig take away his own jade cabbage, impossible, it is impossible in this life.
On the second day of the week, the weaver posted that the fifteenth day of the next month was the day of his daughter and Lu, and he was specially invited to watch the ceremony. Banxia has not participated in the women's banquet and is quite curious, and he is ready to go out to pick up gifts that afternoon, and then he will go to the banquet.
Banxia took Xiangyu out, and Xiangyu got in the car and began to gossip about Banxia. "I heard that this weaver's young lady is a blessed one, and their family has set her relatives in the capital. I heard that it is still the king of the county. This young lady must be particularly beautiful. ”
"It's not necessarily about appearance, it's just that the mother of this weaving master is the county lord, the cousin of the emperor today, and her granddaughter wants to marry a county king."
"But this young lady married so far away, if she suffers any grievances, in the inner courtyard of the deep house, there is no one to help her, so she doesn't cry or cry."
"Her grandmother is still in the capital, and her family background is there, and it is estimated that no one will bully her. You this idleness, don't you also have the heart to hate to marry? Banxia gets along well with her and often laughs.
"How can there be ......," Xiangyu's face turned red, "I have to serve my wife for the rest of my life." ”
"I don't want you to serve me for the rest of my life, the woman will not stay, stay and stay to become an enemy, I can rest assured that you can find a good home." As I spoke, I arrived at a jewelry store.
Banxia and Xiangyu went in together, and there was a master and a servant picking out jewelry.
The woman was only fourteen or fifteen years old, wearing a pleated butterfly dance dress, chasing two pearls in her ears, and her skin was as white as snow. She was looking at a pair of ruby pendants, tried them and put them down, and then beckoned the maid to leave.
Banxia walked over at this time, and felt that the earrings were good, so I picked them up and looked at them, and was about to buy them, when a voice suddenly came from behind me: "I want the pair of earrings from the shopkeeper." ”
"Young Master Gongsun, but this lady ......" The shopkeeper is a little embarrassed, after all, Banxia is holding it.
"It's okay, I'll take a look at the others." Banxia didn't like it to the point that it had to be.
"Thank you Mrs. for cutting love, these earrings are going to be bought and given away, if Mrs. sees something else, Xiao Ke is willing to buy it for you to make amends."
"No, it's not mine." Banxia finished speaking and walked to the side to look at other things.
The store wrapped the earrings for him, "Young Master Gongsun walks slowly......"
The man apologized to Banxia again, and then walked out the door. Banxia looked at other things, and Xiao Er gossiped with her while introducing her: "Actually, Mrs. doesn't have to be polite, that master's silver is so much, just leak a little bit from between his fingers, it is all chewed by a small family for half a year." ”
"Who, this is?"
"The eldest young master of the Salt Gang...... They transport all the salt in Yangzhou, and it is said that they make more money than the water of the Qiantang River. ”
"Little brother will talk big, how can there be so much money, how much official salt is a year......"
"Which official salt, and private salt...... You don't know ......"
"What nonsense is talking about, good business can't be done." The shopkeeper drank it, and Xiao Er closed his mouth aggrievedly.
"Madam, this kid will open his mouth and talk nonsense, you pick and ignore him."
Banxia smiled, and finally picked a set of gold-inlaid hostas before going back.
Banxia told Gan Sui the news at dinner in the evening.
"The person you met today should be Gongsun Tiandong. It should be the third generation of the Gongsun family. His grandfather is a capable person, who was originally a dock porter, and later accumulated step by step to become the leader of the Salt Gang. His father guarded the city more than enough, but the development was insufficient, and he was addicted to alcohol, so it is said that his house was very messy. His mother eats fasting and recites Buddha all year round, and a large number of half-brothers behind him are eyeing his position. However, this man has the ability, and now it is said that he has hooked up with salt merchants and is thinking about expanding his territory. But it's a good breakthrough. ”
"Is there really smuggling salt?"
"There must be, salt is a necessity of life, and it is very profitable. There is only so much official salt every year, and although selling smuggled salt is risky, the profits are high, and there will definitely be people who take risks. It's just that this Young Master Gongsun dares to be so bold alone, and it's not very similar, I suspect that there are people behind him. ”
"That's all you have to worry about, I'm going to sleep."
"If the lady wants to sleep peacefully, how can the villain not serve him closely. Let's go, let Madame see my skills tonight. ”
