Chapter 33: Entering the Palace

The second master turned his head to look at his eldest brother, his eyes full of relief, as if to say: "Father still cares about his mother!" Mother did not let this ...... before her death The third child entered the house. After his mother went west, his father did not let him enter the house to block his mother's spirit in heaven! ”

Ding'an Hou was not as excited as the second master, but there was a trace of satisfaction on his seemingly calm face.

Yan Tian looked at his father, who was sitting next to his grandfather and nodded yes with a smile, and couldn't help but feel relieved, and a smile appeared on his face.

Before returning to Beijing, his father told himself that the capital was no better than Luozhou, and he must accept his temperament, and he should not be as competitive as before, so as not to cause trouble. He also said that his grandfather was kind and cared about them in everything, so he should not be willful and reckless after entering the house, so as not to embarrass his grandfather.

Of course, Yan Tian listened to it in his heart, but the initial dignified and humble was not to maintain his father's admiration for his grandfather. And now, my grandfather was really loving and thoughtful about everything for their father and daughter.

If you really want to live in this Hou Mansion, just looking at Yan Yi will know that you don't know how many lawsuits you will have to fight! Yan Tian's little temper can endure it for a while, but it definitely can't endure it for a day!

Speaking of Yan Yi, Yan Tian was simply inexplicable, and he didn't know how he offended this second cousin, so he simply chased after himself and provoked him relentlessly. As soon as she opened her mouth, she insinuated that she was a dirt bun from a small place. This was mixed up by the eldest aunt before, but the girl chased after the luncheon and picked it up again.

In the flower hall, a screen separates the two tables of men and women. At the end of the screen, Yan Yizheng pointed to a delicate dish that was arranged like a peacock spreading its wings with a smile, and looked at Yan Tian with a smile: "Big sister, look at this dish!" Things are still limited, but the name is very interesting, called 'Peacock Flying Southeast'. It's a coincidence! ”

As she spoke, she picked up the handkerchief to cover her mouth and smiled, leaning at Yan Tian, "What an interesting name!" Isn't it saying that even the birds know what is good, and they know that the southeast is the capital, a rich and prosperous place, and the land of Ba'er Ba'er is going to fly over? Big sister said yes? ”

Yan Yi originally intended to make Yan Tian make a fool of herself, so she naturally deliberately raised her voice when she opened her mouth to provoke. The sharp voice echoed in the flower hall, and the men's seat on the other side of the screen suddenly fell silent.

From Los Angeles in the northwest all the way to the southeast into Beijing, it is not only Yan Tian, but also Yan Wenkuan. Get! Since the bird that knows how to fly southeast into Beijing is the son of the old lady, haven't the children and grandchildren of the old lady's table also become birdmen? Besides, it is the emperor's order to let Yan Wenkuan enter Beijing, uh......

The old lady's face sank like water and he didn't speak, and the second old man immediately sweated like rain. The eldest lord Ding Anhou and the eldest son Yan Xin glanced at each other, and the father and son were speechless. Yan Yu looked up at the third uncle of Maitreya Buddha, who still didn't seem to hear anything, and only felt that his third uncle's position was really unfathomable.

On the women's seat, the eldest uncle, Mrs. Ding'anhou, frowned, put down her chopsticks, and turned her head to look at the second lady. After all, the serious mother-in-law is here, and it is not her turn to have an aunt to discipline her niece.

But who knew that the second lady just raised her lips slightly at Mrs. Chonghou, as if with a hint of humility, and then lowered her eyes and slowly drank the cup of ginseng chicken soup in front of her, as if she hadn't heard what the maid said.

The daughter taught by Aunt Ding wants to learn from her mother-in-law's arrogant talent everywhere, but she learns everything nondescript and generous.

It's all his own family, and no one can see his niece scolding his uncle, not to mention that his husband may not want to scold him like this. And the concubine is ashamed, everyone can see and hear it, her mother-in-law said that it is difficult to escape the blame, and she can avoid a lot of trouble. If something happens to this girl, everyone has a bottom in their hearts.

Eight-year-old Yan Xi was ignorant, and was frightened by the sudden silent and strange atmosphere, so he turned his head to find Mrs. Ding'anhou. Mrs. Hou patted her soothingly, endured her anger, and just wanted to speak. But he suddenly heard Yan Tian smile clearly: "Second sister is not right to say that!" 'Peacock flying southeast' is not looking for some rich and prosperous place. ”

"Oh? Big sister, this is going to give us a lecture? Yan Yi smiled even more presumptuously.

The peacock flies southeast, wandering for five miles...... This Yuefu poem can be memorized by a five-year-old child. If Yan Tian wanted to talk to her about this seriously, it would be a big loss. Just like the literati Yashi likes to play with famous sentences, but he meets a yellow-mouthed child who doesn't have three taels of ink in his stomach, and comes to seriously break "the poem is memorized like this......".

"Why does the big sister think this peacock bird is 'flying southeast'?" Yan Yi threw out a cover, just waiting for Yan Tian to seriously open his mouth to recite the poem that everyone knows.

She was ready to laugh backwards and forwards, and then she would wipe the tears from her laughter and praise exaggeratedly, "The eldest sister is very knowledgeable, and she can carry it as well as the new country girl who does rough work in my house." It took me half a column of incense to teach her to say this. ”

But who knew that Yan Tian smiled slightly: "You asked me why 'peacocks fly southeast'?" ”

"Yes." Yan Yi's laughter became more and more contemptuous and sarcastic.

"That's because, 'There are tall buildings in the northwest, and the clouds are on the same level'." A word is spoken, and the point is reached, and the four taels are dialed in thousands of dollars.

Yan Tian not only relieved himself and his father, but also responded to the sarcasm of "Tu Baozi". What is the southeast capital, a prosperous place? Father and she are from the Qiyun Mansion in the northwest! Now that you have arrived at the realm of Qiyun, it must be time to fly in a different direction......

Yan Yu on the other side of the screen silently lit a wax for his second cousin in his heart.

"Big sister is so knowledgeable!" Yan Xi has always been lively, and when she became excited, she looked at Yan Tian with adoring eyes, "Second sister likes to embarrass me like this on weekdays." Which of the serious ancient poetry allusions will not? But such a problem of finding trouble is simply deliberately looking for trouble! But I don't want my big sister to open her mouth to ......"

"Sorry!" Mrs. Ding'an Hou glanced at Yan Yi, and before she had a seizure, she spoke out to stop her concubine, although her tone was disapproving, but she was more loving.

Yan Xi hurriedly shrunk his shoulders and stuck out his tongue, but he was not very afraid. It can be seen that the relationship between the mother and the concubine is good.

Yan Tian smiled and touched the top of Yan Xi's hair: "It's just a play with words!" There should be no word for learning. A subset of scripture and history is the right way. Not only because that is what the sage said, but also because it is the orthodoxy of Yadao, teaching people to be ordinary and humane, and respecting and humbling the elders and the young......"

"You ......" Before Yan Tian's words fell, Yan Yi suddenly raised her brows.

"Yi'er is tired? The face is so ugly. Mrs. Ding'an Hou spoke at the right time, and looked at her with a rather unkind face.

Yan Yi pursed her lips tightly and lowered her head in the end.

Yan Yu nodded, it seems that Yan Tian has not changed his temperament. This insinuation refers to Sang scolding Huai, and it is righteous, awe-inspiring. Yan Yi is still too tender. didn't involve his third uncle before, and it is estimated that Yan Tian, this girl, will also be restrained. Who knew that Yan Yi had to pick up this tiger whisker once or twice.

After a brief silence, the flower hall immediately became lively again, after all, it was a play between the little daughters, it was harmless, and no one really cared about it.

Ding'an Hou held the wine glass and let the two younger brothers, and then rushed to the head of the old marquis and smiled: "The third brother came back today, and my father is happy." I specially ordered a small play, and after lunch, I started singing at the Ewha Pavilion, just to add to the fun......"

It's just that before he finished speaking, suddenly a small guy ran in and knelt on the ground to report: "Master, lords, someone has come to the palace......

……

Two decrees came from the palace.

One is the emperor's holy decree: Xuan Xinjing Zhao Yin Yan Wenkuan Imperial Study Face Saint.

One is the Empress Dowager's decree: Yan Tian, the daughter of the new Jing Zhaoyin, will be seen in the Cining Palace.

Everyone in the Yan family looked at each other. Yan Yi looked up at Yan Tian......

……

Officials and dependents who have never entered the palace must be sent by the Ministry of Rites three days in advance to teach the etiquette rules, so as not to lose their manners before driving. But today's calling is so urgent......

……

In February, the cold air is still attacking, the earth dragon is still burning in the side hall of Cining Palace, and there are all kinds of flowers and fruits by the fragrance, the whole side hall is warm like spring, the fragrance is ethereal, just like the fairyland of Yao Pond.

Yan Tian didn't know what was going on with his father, who was seeing him in the imperial study at the moment. Anyway, she knelt in the side hall of Cining Palace, and after performing the three bows and nine bows, the Queen Mother looked at her for a long time and did not speak.

Yan Tian lowered his head, knelt upright, and did not move at all.

"It's a steady one. Get up. The voice above his head was not as old as he had imagined, but it was as majestic as he had imagined.

Yan Tian got up cautiously, stood with his hands down in a proper manner, and did not dare to raise his head from beginning to end. The hanging golden silk peony curtain seemed to move slightly, and then a pair of cyan embroidered shoes inlaid with pearls flashed.

"Did the journey to Beijing go well?" There was a hint of a smile in the queen mother's voice, and although the words she asked were like ordinary greetings from the elders, the momentum of the superior still gave people a great sense of oppression.

"Back to the Queen Mother, everything goes well."

"I heard that you know the law well, and you often helped your father solve cases when you were in Los Angeles?"

"Back to the Queen Mother, the courtiers don't have this talent. It's all fathers who are doing their duty for the court. However, in recent years, my father has become older, and his eyes have become more and more bad, and some of the transcribing and copying things have been done by the courtiers to share the worries for him. The people spread the word falsely, and they passed on the courtiers a little too much. ”

As soon as these words came out, the Queen Mother was silent for a while, and she was silent for a long time before she sneered slightly: "I really don't know whether to say that you are honest and not greedy for merit, or whether to say that you are tricky and slippery and have no truth in your mouth." ”

Yan Tian was startled, he didn't have time to think about it, and he knelt down again with a plop: "Yan Tian doesn't dare!" The Queen Mother forgives her sins! ”

The monarch is like the sky, and the man is like the mustard. If you make a mistake, you will never recover. Yan Tian saw sweat on his forehead.

The one on the phoenix seat did not call up, but seemed to take a sip of the tea bowl slowly and methodically: "That Qian Erlu case is your handiwork?" ”

"Courtier, I just had an idea to share my father's worries......"

The daughter of the queen house interferes with the official affairs of the yamen, if the court has the intention to investigate, the father may fall into the responsibility of playing government affairs and ignoring the law of the country! Yan Tian's hands hanging by his side involuntarily clenched his knuckles white.

"That's the ...... idea," the Queen Mother paused, "and it's not bad." ”

Yan Tian didn't know what the Queen Mother meant, and he didn't dare to let go of the tone he mentioned.

"Although you just entered Beijing today, you should have heard a little about the affairs of the Pingguo family, right? After all, your father came to Beijing to preside over the case. What do you think about this? ”

Yan Tian couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart. She naturally knows the relationship between the Queen Mother and the Pingguo Mansion, and also knows the tragedy of the Pingguo Mansion's wife who killed her husband and her mother.

Today's audience, the Queen Mother is not improvised. At least not just to see her appearance as an official in Beijing......
