Chapter 37: Acceptance
"In ancient times, there were Zou Ji, Dongfang Shuo, oh, by the way, and Zhong Wuyan, the queen of King Qi Xuan." Emperor Yongzhi lowered his eyes and looked at the slender woman kneeling at his feet, the smile on his face remained unchanged, but the frost gradually formed under his eyes, "It's not just anyone who can tell a story to the Son of Heaven." It's not like just telling a story and getting to the top in one step. ”
Zou Ji was famous for his sarcasm and was worshiped as a prime minister by King Qi Wei. Dongfang Shuo was witty and erudite, and was good at lecturing classic history, so he was favored by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Zhong Wuyan even became the queen of King Qi Xuan because of his irony......
Yan Tian suddenly sweated like rain, and the nerves that had just relaxed a little suddenly tensed again. It's my own frivolity! In Cining Palace, the Queen Mother was speaking harshly, but reminded her to be cautious in her words and deeds. But the emperor's pleasant face when she first saw her made her relax and forget that the royal authority was unpredictable.
This is the supreme god in the world, who truly holds the life and death of people in the world. At the moment, he is ...... Suspecting that you have ulterior motives?!
"The courtiers don't dare!" Yan Tian tried his best to stabilize his mind and let his voice be as calm and calm as possible, "The courtiers grew up in Luozhou since she was a child, and the wild anecdotes she saw were all the customs of Luozhou, with shallow knowledge and vulgar language, she only knew these things, and she would only talk about them. The people in His Majesty's mouth are probably some virtuous ministers and talents, and they are the pillars of governance. But the courtiers are shallow and shallow, but they haven't heard much about their deeds. ”
She couldn't find any other way to solve the suspicion of the Son of Heaven, and now she can only depreciate herself to show that she has no heart to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix. But she wasn't very sure, whether the emperor believed it or not, and tried his best to clear it up in this self-depreciation. Yan Tian's clenched palms were full of sweat.
Xu believed her self-defense. Xu is under the authority of the Son of Heaven, a teenage girl can respond calmly, which proves that she is open-minded and selfless. When Emperor Yongzhi spoke again, his tone softened a lot.
"Then the 'salty sugar' you just mentioned is also an interesting anecdote in Luozhou?"
Yan Tian secretly sighed: "The courtiers don't dare to make a fool of themselves, it is indeed another wild news in Luozhou." ”
"Presumably, just like the story just now, 'the taste is born from the heart'. However, the story of the mother's love and daughter-in-law just now is all because of the beauty of life and sweetness in the heart, so it can be salty and sweet. However, this is sweet as salty...... I couldn't think of it for a moment. What kind of person would think this day is salty? Can sugar be said to be salty? Emperor Yongzhi seemed to be really interested in these wild anecdotes, but Yan Tian didn't dare to say more.
"This time it's because of tears."
"Tears? Salty indeed. I can probably guess a few points if I say that. It's nothing more than the sweet and salty people who have sugar in their mouths but mixed with tears, which naturally becomes what you call 'salty sugar'. ”
"Your Majesty, see the subtle knowledge." Yan Tian knelt on the ground and patted his ass sincerely, "It's just a widow in Luozhou, bothering to pull her eldest son." This son is also quite competitive, but he was on the list as a young man, and immediately married his childhood sweetheart after returning to his hometown. So when the gold list was inscribed, the cave room spent candle nights, and a good story was achieved. The widowed mother was happy and excited that day, and she burst into tears when she ate the candy, so some guests humorously said, 'This candy must be salty'. ”
"Hahahahaha......" Emperor Yongzhi laughed, stretched out his hand and nodded at Yan Tian, who was kneeling on the ground, "I know that the list you said was ordered by the palace last year, and it is indeed a disciple of Luozhou." But you girl, you have a lot of eyes. It sounds like he only said two interesting stories about Luozhou, but in fact, he is praising the achievements of your father Yan Wenkuan.
"Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are harmonious, daughter-in-law is filial, and the matter involves the education of the people, which is naturally the credit of your father, the governor of the state capital. And a widow can raise a son, which is not only the work of educating and word-of-mouth, but also involving the economy and people's livelihood, education and education, talent recommendation, and even local morality and politics! The governor of a government represents the herdsmen of the Son of Heaven, no matter how big or small, and the responsibility is heavy. Your father is doing a great job. And you, daughter, can't be mistaken in the praise of seeing the stitches. ”
"The courtiers are reckless, please forgive your majesty." Yan Tian bowed to the ground again, which was an admission of his selfishness.
But I didn't want to, but I heard Emperor Yongzhi ask an irrelevant sentence again: "Are you not afraid of me?" ”
Yan Tian didn't know what the emperor meant, so he could only cautiously reply according to his heart: "The people's girls are afraid. ”
"Oh? I didn't see it. Emperor Yongzhi's voice was a lot more relaxed, and he seemed to have a smile, "Don't say that you, a little girl of fifteen or sixteen, are the local magistrates who have lived for half a lifetime, and when they first saw me, they couldn't help but tremble and their legs were weak, and their bodies were like sifting chaff." You are different, you deal with it decently, you behave appropriately, and you really don't see that you are afraid of me. ”
"The folk girl is afraid that she will lose her dignity in front of the palace, but she is just pretending to be calm." This is the truth, no one saw that Yan Tian's back coat was already soaked.
"I don't look like it. Others are afraid of me for nothing more than two things, or they have done something wrong, and they are afraid that I will punish him for his sins. Either he wants to ask for something from me, or he is afraid that I will not give it to him. You didn't do anything bad, so this should be the first not to be afraid. You don't want anything from me, so this is the second one not to be afraid of. ”
"And the third is not afraid."
"Oh? Which third is not afraid? ”
"Because Your Majesty is a Ming Jun. The monarch is in charge of the death of all people, let alone the life of a person. If Xia Ji is a businessman, violent and moody, the courtiers will definitely be scared to death at this moment......"
"Presumptuous!" Before Yan Tian's words fell, Liu Cheng on the side was busy looking at Emperor Yongzhi's face and reprimanded.
"Are you slapping my ass?" Emperor Yongzhi didn't pay attention to it, but raised his eyebrows, and added two points of playfulness to his tone between smiling and smiling.
"The folk girl is telling the truth."
"I've taken it."
As he spoke, he walked past Yan Tian, who was kneeling on the ground. Liu Cheng hurriedly followed, and secretly waved his hand to the leading grandmother.
It's not too boring today. Emperor Yongzhi thought as he walked. But it's just an inconsequential anecdote, an insignificant anecdote.
Yan Tian didn't dare to raise his body until the emperor walked away, and the small clothes on his body were already completely soaked. Even Mingjun can be moody. Human life is nothing more than an ant in the imperial power. She is not as fearless as Emperor Yongzhi said, she is really just forced to calm down.
……
It wasn't until she saw her father waiting for her outside the palace gate that Yan Tianfang suddenly relaxed her tense heart. And this sudden relaxation, tired, aggrieved, and impatient...... Immediately, the mountains roared and the tsunami was overwhelming. So much so that when she returned to the dowry courtyard left by her own grandmother, Yan Tian saw the scene in the courtyard, and her temples jumped suddenly. The emotions that were originally stored in my heart were almost about to erupt when they rampage......
……
The Tian family was also regarded as a hairpin family before the accident, and that year due to the framing of political enemies, in addition to the young son of Chi Yuan's relatives who were urgently passed on to Chi Yuan's hometown when he got the news, the Tian family, including Yan Wenkuan's mother, was sent to the bitter cold land in the north.
Later, the unjust case was rehabilitated, the Tian family returned to Beijing, and the property was returned.
After that, the Tian family had another heir, so most of the property returned by the imperial court was given to the Oda family as a dowry. And in the dowry of the Datian family, there is such a house with a lot and a very suitable size, three before and after, very neat, and not far from the Ding'an Hou Mansion. Previously, Lao Ding'an Hou Yan Gexing had been sent to take care of it carefully, but it was also proper and tidy.
When I came out of the palace, it was dusk, and the sky was full of red clouds. Before entering the palace, the father and daughter explained to everyone in the Ding'an Hou Mansion that because they didn't know when the audience would end, they would no longer go back to the house at night to bother, and went out of the palace and went directly back to the dowry house of the Datian family.
In fact, in their selfish hearts, the father and daughter really don't want to deal with the rest of their family. After traveling for more than ten days, they were tired, and when they arrived in the capital, they were full of stories, and the two of them were a little physically unbearable.
And in the Hou Mansion, except for the old Hou Ye, who was quite reluctant, the other people naturally agreed, urging them to go back and rest.
For this cousin and niece who have never met a few times, the two brothers Yan Wenshou and Yan Wenjin actually feel embarrassed. There is also a disagreement between the ancestors and the Datian clan before her death. Therefore, the two of them are only hindered by the fact that their father is still there, and they are just barely socializing. Yan Wenkuan is naturally the same.
Besides, Yan Tian, when he went home with his father, he didn't want to get on the sedan chair immediately. At this time, the Yan family's small courtyard is under construction from the gate to the inner courtyard!
Qin Zhuen led a group of craftsmen to dig holes in the mountains and dig holes in her house, break the ground and tear down the walls, and uncover the tiles in the house......
Aunt Hu, Uncle Sun and the people who had just been sent by the Hou Mansion of Ding'an were all straight-eyed, and they couldn't intervene one by one, so they could only stand in the courtyard and watch.
Sanshou was the first to spot Xiaozhu behind Yan Tian, and immediately waved his arm at her excitedly. Then he hurriedly pulled Qin Zhuen, who was directing Dafu and Erlu around, and motioned him to look back at Yan Tian.
So Qin Zhuen, who was very busy, collided with Yan Tian's pretty face as black as the bottom of a pot as soon as he turned around.
Xiaozhu stood behind her young lady with low eyebrows, completely ignoring Sanshou. Joke! With her experience of serving young ladies since childhood, her master should be extremely angry by now. At this moment, it is not advisable to pour oil on the fire, but it is advisable to pour yam chicken soup, braised pork ribs, and fried lamb with green onions......
Xiaozhu immediately pulled Aunt Hu in broken steps and quickly fled into the kitchen. This place should not stay for a long time, and all the heroes seek more blessings for themselves.
However, Yan Tian is everyone's lady after all, and she is usually dignified. So at this moment, he just strode into the door, first looked at Uncle Sun and said, "I want no outsiders in this courtyard in a pillar of incense." Only two of the subordinates sent by the Hou Mansion remained, and the rest of the people were all returned. Thank you for your words for me, and said that my father and I don't need so many people, and it is enough to leave two. ”
Then he made a mistake and looked at Qin Zhuen. For no reason, Qin Zhuen suddenly felt that his scalp was numb, and a small cool breeze swished and blew his sweat pores all over his body.
However, Yan Tian didn't make any big moves, but gave him a clean salute: "Gongzi Qin is working hard today!" First, he mobilized the people outside the city, and now he is making a big show here. But Yan Tian didn't want to appreciate it! It is said that 'goodness is not true goodness'. Therefore, presumably Qin Gongzi must very much want to be the unsung hero and silently do good, and he will never let Yan Tian accept your affection! It's not early, so please take someone and leave quickly. Don't delay your business. Drop-off! The most two words roared magnificently, startling a shoal of gulls and herons.
Then Yan Tian ignored no one, raised his feet and went straight to the inner courtyard.
Yan Wenkuan stroked his beard and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He could guess the source of his daughter's nameless fire. After all, he has been pampered since he was a child, and he can do whatever he wants, although he suddenly arrived in the capital for only one day, he was depressed everywhere, especially when he just entered the palace, and he could also understand the grievances and grievances.
But...... My daughter, who is usually quiet and angry, turned out to be angry at an outsider for the first time today? That's a ...... How strange and how weird! He remembered the days when he got along with Luozhou again. Old handsome Yan squinted his eyes. In his experience, both men and women generally know that they are favored before they are so fearless. Isn't that how the word pampered and proud came from?
Tian Tian's heart is not easy to guess now. But if nothing else, there will be an accident in the future......
So, he patted Qin Zhuen's shoulder meaningfully and walked in as well. The craftsmen who stayed in the courtyard looked at the "on-site construction commander" with big eyes and small eyes. There was silence for a while.
These people are petrified! Who am I? Where am I? What do I hear? The strong woman just now was ...... Pouted the famous living Hades king in the capital in public?! Good boy! It's worth it in this life!
Dafu really respects the eldest lady of the Yan family at this moment, she is a man! As soon as he made a move, he slapped Qin Zhuen's face as the sole of his shoe. Nine bags of elders in their family! Such a big man! After seeing Yan Erye in the afternoon, he hurriedly pulled up people to come to the Yan family's courtyard and did hard labor himself! After being busy, people turned their backs on their horses, and they didn't say half a good word, but they were still sneered at in public? ! What's even more outrageous is that why, why was he still picked up by a pillar of incense for a limited time? !
He hugged his head, waiting for the expected flying sand and rocks, and the wind and clouds changed color. However, the Nine Bags Elder of their family did not show their original form on the spot! What's even more off the charts is that this demon king of the mixed world smacked his lips a little weakly at this moment, and then with a careful face, he lowered his voice and ordered: "I think it's almost over, hurry up and finish it quickly!" A pillar of incense inside the pack and withdraw! ”
Daifuku pumped his mouth. Damn, it hurts!
If you weren't dreaming, then the outrageous degree of this thing would be comparable to the sun coming out of the bed! Is their master, who chops off people's hands at the slightest discord, taken away?
He turned his head to look at Sanshou. The older child reported emotional stability. It's rare and strange that you're so frightening. You can see that I'm already surprised. I've seen even stranger things in Los Angeles. Can you imagine that this master personally carried water and chopped wood for cooking? You can't imagine it! In the whole capital, as long as he is a person, he can't imagine it!
Daifuku looked at Erlu again. I saw that this fake fox's eyes turned like shaking dice, and he fanned it to show that he had realized! This is very likely to be the great lack of virtue of their family master for many years, no, debauchery! Finally plant beans and get melons. So the Lord of Heaven sent the next Arhat Golden Body to subdue this demon! Looks like...... This demon is convinced!
