Chapter 350: Great Wisdom, True Family Affection
Dad has stomach bleeding again, and it may not be so normal these days, so I ask for comfort. ……
Xiyuan Yuhe Bridge.
Riding in a warm sedan chair with the county lord of Yixing, this is the first time for Chen Lan. It's just that the eunuch who carried the sedan chair obviously underwent strict training, and there were very rules and regulations when they fell together, and people only felt smooth and not bumpy in it, plus the Yixing county lord deliberately opened the curtain, and the two of them went out of the Qianming Gate to enjoy the scenery of Xiyuan all the way, which was also comfortable. The mother and daughter were all worried about the two things that the emperor said, so their interest was not high.
Looking at the bleak Qionghua Island outside the window, the county lord of Yixing suddenly said, "But you can't figure it out? ”
Chen Lan was stunned for a moment, and then glanced at a sedan chair man behind him. Even if she understood that these people were deaf and dumb, there was no guarantee that these conversations would not be reported to a specific person, and she had to be a little more careful. After being silent for a while, she whispered, "Mother, the appointment is nothing...... However, this military general is out of town, and his family has always wanted to stay in the capital? Why am I "............"
"What is Gangnam?" The county lord of Yixing smiled slightly, seeing Chen Lan's eyes widen, and then showed a sudden realization, she smiled and said, "In the land of wind and moon, an official who does not bring his family, isn't it indulged in his greed for Hu Street and Willow Lane when he arrives there?" The general army of Liangjiang has always taken office with his family, and this is not the front line of the iron cavalry army stationed in Xuanfu Datong Liaodong, those military horses are either to prevent civil strife, or to prevent those idlers who are guarded by the Nanjing Zongren Mansion, a total of only 30,000, and almost 10,000 elites, can the general soldier still rebel from there? ”
"Mother, you also said those two taboo words too neatly," Seeing that Chen Lan actually wrinkled his nose at himself, the county lord of Yixing smiled and spread his hands and said, "I." They are used to it, they won't even spread this kind of nonsense, and besides, this is the truth. In fact, the climate in the south of the Yangtze River is more humid than in the north, which is conducive to the woman's health and allows you to pass, which is one of the reasons. As for the other point, "...... I have left some of the men I left behind, you might as well help keep an eye on them. ”
"Huh?"
Chen Lan was stunned when she heard this, and when she went to see the county lord of Yixing, "I saw that she had regained her faint smile before, but she never mentioned it again, and she didn't ask anymore." After crossing the Yuhe Bridge, there is the Lingxing Gate in front, and then there is the West Wine Room and the West Hufang and other internal government offices, although there are many people passing by, but all of them will bow their heads and retreat to the side to let the sedan chair pass, so it is not slow. Until I walked north along a north-south sandwich road in the middle for a while, "there were fewer and fewer people."
"Mother, where are we going? It doesn't seem to be the direction of Yichun Pavilion? ”
"I'll take you around the outside of the inner school yard and let you see what your uncle was doing before. By the way, King Huai was locked up in the Guang'an Hall behind the master of ceremonies and the factory. This time, he did his own sin, and after the New Year's Festival, he was about to go to Taizu Xiaoling. Although the emperor didn't want to kill his son again, he didn't want to see him again, so he only took pity on Li Shuyuan.
According to what King Huai did before, it was enough to die ten times as an ordinary person, but now that he could escape, Chen Lan didn't even need to think about it to understand the emperor's helplessness. is already dead, a king of Wu, and a king of Jin to go to the tomb to supervise the construction of the imperial tomb, if such a person is directly given to death, I am afraid that the capital will shake greatly. For the sake of today's plan, people will be left far away, and after two or three years, the capital will probably forget such a person, and the disposal will be much smaller than the direct killing movement now.
Therefore, when passing by the Guang'an Temple, she couldn't help but deliberately look at it twice. But at this moment, there was a sudden great commotion from there, "After a while, I saw two little eunuchs rushing towards this side like crazy." Seeing this, she immediately reached out and climbed the window. "Suddenly there was a not-so-good premonition in my heart.
"Stop the car!"
The county lord of Yixing shouted, and before he could say anything, "The big girl who was standing on the side of the sedan chair, Long Quan, immediately greeted the two little eunuchs, and hurried back, and when he arrived at the window of the sedan chair, he gently bent his waist.
"The county lord is Li Shuyuan............ Li Shuyuan was broken on the head...... Would you like to take a look? ”
"That bastard little brute!" The county lord of Yixing didn't need to ask to know what was going on, and for a while he smashed the small table in front of him with his fist, and then raised his head and said, "You and Chunjun go over together, quickly send Li Shuyuan back, and then go to the imperial pharmacy to ask the imperial doctor to see." Then pass on my words, the vigilance around the Guang'an Hall has been doubled, and the food and so on are all handed in through the window, and no one is allowed to enter the house to talk to him. If you don't eat and pull down, starvation counts! ”
Hearing these extremely fierce words behind him, Chen Lan couldn't help but stare at the county lord of Yixing for a long time, and when Longquan agreed to leave, she gave a thumbs up to her godmother.
Such a fierce and inward-looking guy, I'm afraid that no one cares about him, but he can stop!
Seeing Chen Lan's action, the county lord of Yixing sighed happily: "I'm old, I don't have the temper I had when I was young, otherwise even if I am a double body at this time, I have to teach him a hard lesson in the past!" I think that even if it was a high-flying and domineering person like the fifth brother, he had eaten my slap, so good..., well, a good woman didn't mention the courage of the year! ”
This latter sentence of emotion finally made Chen Lan laugh. It's just that, in the face of the melancholy and distant smile of the Yixing County Lord, she once again confirmed that the godlady in front of her was different.
After a short time, the sedan car was set off again. There were still shouting sounds from time to time outside, and there seemed to be the roar of King Huai in the middle, but there was no sound to hear. Calm had returned to all around, except for the steady and neat footsteps of the palanquins, the clash of their swords and buckles, and the clanging of the maids. These voices were intertwined, and the Yixing county lord in the sedan chair did not speak, Chen Lan gradually became a little sleepy.
It wasn't until the current county lord of Yixing suddenly beckoned to her that she blinked her eyes and leaned her head against the small table.
"The things found in Longquan Nunnery were all presented to Yupin yesterday. No one expected that there was a secret room there, which kept many things from the early years of the dynasty. Among them, there is Chu Guogong's "Sweet Water Song", which is exactly the same as what you memorize. ”
"Really, it's exactly the same?" Chen Lan naturally showed a surprised expression, "No wonder the first time I went with my mother, the master of Longquan Nunnery once provoked some words, and the words were very vague, "Even that night was ......"
Seeing Chen Lan talking, he showed a palpitating expression" The county lord of Yixing took Chen Lan's hand and patted it considerately: "She has ulterior motives and intends to have a relationship with you, where will the emperor not know." You are not a restless person like me, you used to be a daughter of everyone who stayed at home, and she poured those dirty water on you, and someone had to believe in it! However, there are a lot of old things collected by the Duke of Chu there, and the emperor flipped through them, and I also happened to be present and I also flipped through a few copies, and finally gave up the plan to destroy them, saying that they were preserved in a separate and secure house in the Qianqing Palace. ”
After the third uncle Chen Ying was transferred to Suzhou Prefecture, Chen Lan knew that this matter should no longer involve him. However, at this time, compared with the clear comfort of the county lord of Yixing, it was the fact that the posthumous work of the Duke of Chu could be left, which made her breathe a sigh of relief, but at the same time, an indescribable enlightenment was born again.
Come to think of it, now that it is far from the founding of the country, the emperor no longer thinks that the founding hero will leave any influence, on the contrary, those posthumous works may be useful for today's prosperous times, which has left everything behind.
"The Taizu record did not clearly say that the Duke of Chu was given death, but only said that Yang Yao committed suicide, and then died due to the illness of the princess, so naturally there was no inheritance, and this title was removed. So I suggested to the emperor that since last year, the imperial court has killed a marquis, abolished a marquis, and died an old man, implicating countless civil and military officials. As long as you go back with a few titles, and a few more low-ranking officials and brothers, the world will praise you, and the previous rumors can naturally be suppressed. Among them, matching the Duke of Chu with Taizu is the first one! ”
At this moment, Chen Lan was finally moved, and his admiration was overflowing: "Although this Chen can't be said to be blessed by the world, if you want to calm people's hearts, this move is really incomparable!" ”
"Stick gold on my face, won't you?" The county lord of Yixing flicked the tip of Chen Lan's nose affectionately, and then smiled, "It's not because you said in the past that someone wanted to smear the emperor, so this reminded me." I've been planning these things for a long time, but it's not until this time that I brought it up. That nunnery master is the county lord of King Qin, and it is not too strange to have such ability. It is necessary to eliminate the previous impact. Only in this way, after all, many academies in the south of the Yangtze River still enshrine the Duke of Chu...... Do you think that this is really unfair to be too unfair to be a superficial article in officialdom? ”
"What did my mother say?" At this time, what he said was not the kind of extremely important words just now, Chen Lan moved away a little, but his two hands rested on the table, "In fact, if you want to really add grace to the people, the first is to be exempt from taxes, but this is an order, if it is not implemented, the people will not enjoy it at all, but they will lose the treasury in vain." Therefore, it is more effective to pay more taxes on most of the land that is exempted from disasters every year, and then borrow money to grow cattle. Not to mention ......"
History books have always been written by the people, "......, equality, these two words, when have they ever been done?
.................., the Qianqing Palace is warm.
After listening to the affairs of Guang'an Diansheng with a blank face, the emperor did not say a word, nodded to indicate that he knew, and beat away the little eunuch who came to report the news in a hurry. Only the eunuch Cheng, who served the emperor closely, could reveal from the ink-drenched paper, how much anger was hidden in the emperor's heart. Therefore, after the emperor finished writing, he personally guarded the brazier and burned the papers one by one, and his eyes narrowed slightly at the end.
Heaven is forgivable, but you can't live!
.................., the first day of the first lunar month has always been the first day to visit relatives and friends, so early in the morning Yang Jin Zhou went to the court, Chen Lan entered the palace, but the endless stream of gift givers almost never stopped, as if to fill all the gaps in the mirror garden that was closed a few days ago. At first, the Jiang family was still a little mentally satisfied, but later they gradually became impatient, and simply sent Aunt Yun and Aunt Liu, who Chen Lan had left at home, to deal with it. Until she learned that her fifteenth brother Jiang Bai was coming, she ordered someone to be invited to the small hu hall.
When she got married, she was already in time, but her younger brother was only five years old, so naturally there would be no hugging and crying at the time, but more embarrassed and speechless.
When I got through the state of having nothing to say at the beginning, the communication between the two was finally smoother, and there were many sighs in the vicissitudes of life. Only when Jiang Bai cautiously brought up the matter of settling in the capital again, she put away the emotion of reuniting after saying goodbye and groaned without speaking.
"Old lady, my lord is back!"
When he learned that his son was back, Jiang's heart was relieved, and he took the opportunity to order someone to be invited in, and then said to Jiang Bai: "Now that my brother has married a daughter-in-law, I will leave the affairs of the family alone, and leave it all to them." Since you've seen Brother Quan before, just tell him directly. As for the whole brother's daughter-in-law, she went to the palace, you might as well linger for a while and see each other together. ”
Jiang Bai saw Yang Jinzhou yesterday, and when he thought of that cold expression, he felt straight in his heart, and at this time he could only smile and nod. When Yang Jinzhou entered the door and saluted, and called his uncle lightly to him, he naturally felt uneasy that he couldn't put up any money for his relatives, and stood up directly.
"Brother Quan, my family will live in the capital in the future, and I have to bother you to take care of it......" Jiang Bai thought that when he was in Jinling, the two brothers from his stepmother occupied a lot of land when they split up, and the patriarch was unfair, so he couldn't help but feel hot, and he blurted out, "I shouldn't have ignored it before, but there is a patriarch in the clan and a stepmother in the family, I was so restrained that I couldn't move, and the family was difficult, so it wasn't intentional." I also know that moving to the capital is really cheeky, and I just ask Jingyuan to help me find a fair house so that those local snakes can't be disturbed, so that we can have a good birthday, and I don't dare to ask for anything else. ”
After that conversation just now, the Jiang family already felt that the younger brother who had been suffering for many years was really not a very scheming person, and that kind of low-voiced weakness was like two worlds compared to the Jiang family in her impression. Therefore, seeing that Yang Jinzhou's brows were slightly condensed, but she didn't say anything for a while, her heart finally softened.
"That's it, the family is going to see the house after the New Year, so it's okay to ask my brother to call someone to help you."
As soon as his mother said this, Yang Jinzhou couldn't help but look over, and saw that although Jiang was drooping his eyelids, that sentimental expression was showing his heart, so he thought about it for a while, then nodded and said, "Since my mother said so, when they help Ah Hu find a house, they will also help my uncle take a good look and find a proper place." As for characters like the head snake, just let people go to the Five Cities Terracotta Division to say hello. As long as I can help, I will do my best. ”
The latter words were concise, but the meaning was clear, but even so, Jiang Bai was still overjoyed for a while, and hurriedly thanked him. When he sat down again, the Jiang family asked about yesterday's congratulatory gift, his face became embarrassed, and Ai Ai was still the same as when he explained to Yang Jinzhou yesterday, but he didn't mention that he only brought the four-color dried fruit snack when he came to the door today.
After stumbling for a while, someone outside suddenly spread the word that there was a message from the inn where the Jiang family lived, Jiang Baifang suddenly jumped up, confessed his guilt and hurriedly went to the door to inquire. Yang Jinzhou listened carefully, judging from the words floating outside the window, the brows that were only slightly twisted just now suddenly wrinkled deeply.
“…… Chinese New Year Reward...... Not enough cash for a while...... Shopkeeper...... It's not nice to talk to......"
Seeing that his mother looked stunned, obviously not hearing these clearly, Yang Jintong opened the curtain and went out, and saw a daughter-in-law standing there with a little girl with a strange face, and the little girl was still talking to Jiang Bai with her teeth, he immediately walked over and interrupted them lightly.
"The New Year's inn plus interest money was originally there, since the uncle can't make up the money, I will let Zhuang's mother go to the inn later, and ...... the money for this house."
"No, no, no, this little thing is going to trouble Jingyuan, how can you make sense!" Jiang Bai was so anxious that his forehead was sweating, and he quickly shook his hand and said, "I brought silver tickets at home, but your uncle and mother are reluctant to ...... those big tickets to redeem" Speaking of this, he suddenly shouted at the little girl, "What are you doing here, hurry back, let my wife quickly redeem the silver tickets, and give them as much as they want, and make a big splash for such a little money, and I am not afraid of losing face!" ”
As soon as he drank like this, the little girl was startled, hurriedly agreed, turned around and ran away. Seeing this scene, and then looking at Jiang Bai's annoyance as he wiped his sweat, Yang Jinzhou had already roughly understood the heart of this cheap uncle and the situation at home, and couldn't help but secretly sigh to himself. When he re-entered the house, he was talking about the situation in the Jiang clan again, and he had already lost much interest, just sitting there symbolically.
However, he waited until lunchtime, but Chen Lan still didn't come back, and Yang Jinzhou gradually felt that something was wrong. But the palace is not as good as other places, and it is not easy to find out the news," he could only have lunch with him. However, Jiang Bai saw that the atmosphere was not right, and after a while, he got up and said goodbye: "I'll see my nephew and daughter-in-law next time." Jiang was also a little anxious in his heart, so he didn't open his mouth to stay with guests. When Yang Jinzhou sent the guest back, there was an extra Chen Yan by her side, and she was surprised at the same time, she did not avoid taboos.
"Why did Ah Lan go for so long, didn't it mean that the imperial concubine was invited to narrate, could it be that there were some twists and turns in the palace?"
Just now when Yang Jinzhou sent people away, he happened to meet Chen Yan dismounted at Ermen like a gust of wind, and his expression at this time was much less stiff than before, and he immediately looked at Chen Yan. Chen Yan was not polite, and after saluting the Jiang family, he smiled and said: "Auntie, my Aunt Luo and the fifth sister have just come back from the palace, and the fifth sister has handed me a message in the air, saying that my sister has been at the imperial concubine's place for a while today, and then Luo Guifei invited her to go again, and later saw that the sky was about to leave a meal in Xianyang Palace, maybe the county lord and master will see each other, so they won't come back so early." ”
Jiang was relieved, and when he saw Chen Yan dressed in a tuft of guest clothes, he motioned for him to step forward, and then asked with a smile: "You come diligently on weekdays, but today is the first day of the first lunar month, why are you late?" ”
"In the morning, I gave Mr. Han a New Year's greeting, then went to Du Lao's New Year's greetings, and then went to the Korean Mansion, and when I returned to the Hou Mansion, I hurried to the Mirror Garden, didn't I think I could stay here for a while later?" Chen Yan said while trying to straighten his chest, "Besides, I will be thirteen in the New Year, Mr. Han said, let me try this year's children's exam." As a result, Du Lao also asked me about it, and then he took the test for an hour, and then ......"
Speaking of the last two words" He suddenly hung his head in frustration: "Du Lao said that my subject will be over when I feel the atmosphere, so I will treat it as a study with Tai, don't report any big fantasies......"
It is rare to see the little guy like this, Jiang couldn't help laughing, Yang Jinzhou is also Wan'er, stepped forward and gently slapped the little guy's shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "I studied literature under Mr. Du for eight years, Mr. Du said that I should be able to successfully answer the title in the college examination, but now you have only studied for one year, and it is unrealistic to hope to stand out." Besides, the path of the imperial examination is not suitable for everyone. What Mr. Du said is, feel the atmosphere of the field and you will understand.
Chen Yan nodded as if he didn't understand, and threw the trace of depression just now out of the clouds. Although he is only the identity of the younger uncle, compared to Jiang Bai, the authentic uncle, he is naturally close, and proudly talked for a while about what he saw and heard about the visitors today, etc., and suddenly his eyes rolled and said: "Cough, I actually forgot the important one, today I originally planned to go to Senior Brother Luo's place to pay New Year's greetings, but I deliberately ran over and pounced, saying that I went to Xiao Zhang's old house as soon as I went to the court." Hey, my brother is going to get married in February, so it's not surprising that he's running so hard now! ”
"You know that you are going to meet your future father-in-law, not to mention the person your senior brother Luo is going to marry?"
The Jiang family has always felt that Chen Yan is right for the spleen and stomach, so he pulled someone to sit beside him just now, and at this time, he couldn't help but gently pat the little guy on the back twice like a mother: "Did your old lady mention it, when will you marry Miss Du back?" ”
"Cough ......" Chen Yan was patted and coughed, but when he heard this clearly, he immediately coughed more and more. It was easy to stop and raise his head, he cleared his throat again, and then said seriously, "Huo Qubing said well, the Huns have not been destroyed, why do you want to be home............ If I can't succeed in this career, how can I talk about marrying ......"
"Little four, you are ambitious!"
Before he finished speaking, as soon as the curtain moved, Chen Lan stepped over the threshold and came in. Yang Jinzhou, who had just seen his daughter-in-law gesturing outside the curtain, was not surprised, and when he saw Chen Yan's eyes full of surprise, he was a little surprised, he didn't know that the little guy was afraid of being taught a lesson during the New Year, so he rushed ahead.
"Okay, now it's not the Han Dynasty, there is no Hun to destroy you, and Huo Quai, who said this, almost made the Huo family extinct. Besides, are you willing to let Miss Du wait all the time? Don't say this kind of stupid thing in the future, start a business when you should start a business, start a family when you should start a family, and everything will be ......, just like me and your sister. ”
When he said the latter sentence, Yang Jinzhou's expression naturally softened, and his eyes also looked towards Chen Lan, but now she was also looking here, and even winked at him when her eyes met.
