Chapter 55: Spring Ploughing Ceremony
It's a bit of a pity that I didn't see the scene in the TV series where the people live and work in peace and contentment, and there are many wine shops and shops.
It seems that the performances in the film and television city are not all true, what emperor can still take his concubine to wander on the street after spring ploughing, the magistrate has already cleared the scene, and the shops are closed.
Frostfall said that the shops would not reopen until the emperor's royal return to the palace.
It was to prevent the Assassins from hiding inside, bringing hidden dangers to the Emperor's travels.
In fact, the Great Yan Dynasty has changed three emperors so far, each of which is not a mediocre generation, and the rule will be smooth, and the country and the people will be safe.
Emperor Xuanwu is the Ming Jun of the Ming Dynasty, not greedy for pleasure, nor addicted to women, 365 days a year, except for the New Year period because of the rules and regulations and the pen, the rest of the time in the imperial study or Chengqian Palace to deal with government affairs, no day slack.
Jiang Xinyue didn't think that anyone who was not long-sighted would rebel and assassinate the emperor.
But the officials are not afraid of 10,000, they are afraid of what happens, and the protective measures are in place.
In place, in addition to looking at the closed shop doors on both sides, she is looking at the black pressed heads.
"Brother Ze, don't squeeze it, don't squeeze it, it's not safe to squeeze in again."
In the midst of the crowd, it was impossible to tell who was who, and there was a boy of eight or nine years old, with his hands on the shoulders of the people under him, who jumped up to look at the long convoy.
Behind him, an eleven or twelve-year-old girl, grabbed his clothes stubbornly, worried that he would be trampled by the crowd,
Seeing that the convoy was about to pass, Jiang Junze was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and slapped his palm on the back of the family in front of him: "You squat down, hurry up!" ”
The family squatted down in a hurry, Jiang Junze immediately sat on his neck, and then shouted: "Stand up!" Hurry, hurry, hurry! ”
Jia Ding immediately got up, and Jiang Junze's vision suddenly brightened.
He swayed left and right, eagerly looking for Sister A's carriage, Dad said, this spring ploughing ceremony, the emperor will allow the eldest sister to participate together, so he and the second sister came to the palace gate early in the morning to guard.
Because he came early, Jiang Junze was not too far from the convoy, and after being picked up by the family, he quickly saw the beautiful face of his eldest sister behind the curtains.
He beckoned excitedly: "Sister! Sister! Sister, look at me, I'm here! ”
Frostfall pointed to the little boy who was struggling to wave his hand: "Niangniang, look, is someone there calling us?" ”
Jiang Xinyue poked his head over, the boy was even more excited, the family under him was miserable, if it weren't for his companions supporting him, he would definitely fall down.
"Brother Ze?"
It stands to reason that Jiang Xinyue didn't know the younger brother of the original body, but the memory of the original body made her can't help but respond the moment she saw the boy, rushed to the window, stretched out her hand and waved it vigorously at Jiang Junze.
Jiang Junze smiled brightly: "Second sister, I saw the eldest sister, she waved at me!" ”
"Where, where?"
Hearing this, Jiang Xinyan's dignity could not be maintained, but she had no way to do anything about riding the maid's neck, so she could only stand on tiptoe and stretch her neck with difficulty.
Until the convoy went far away to the farmland, she couldn't see a single hair of her sister.
Jiang Junze jumped down from the shoulder of the subordinate, grabbed Jiang Xinyan's hand and ran: "Now my aunt can rest assured, I look at the eldest sister, she has an excellent complexion, and she is much more beautiful than when she was in the house." It seems that the rumors are true, the eldest sister has indeed become a favorite concubine who can be equal to the concubine. ”
In the past, the eldest sister was in Jiang's mansion, pretending to be a white lotus, and won her father's love, so that their sisters and brothers had a better life in the mansion.
Later, when he entered the palace, his father wanted to use his sister's beauty to take it to the next level.
Now it seems to have been successful, my father has been coming to my aunt's yard much more time than before, and the people in the house don't dare to look down on my aunt anymore.
But Jiang Xinyan is also a woman, she thought in her heart, in the future, her husband doesn't have to be too talented, she doesn't have to be too good-looking, and her family background is also well-off, she wants her husband, and he will only be good to her for the rest of his life.
Big sister she...... I guess that's what I think, right?
What woman in this world loves her husband so much that she wants to share her husband with so many women?
Alas......
For the eldest sister, I don't know whether it is happiness or misfortune.
Jiang Junze looked back at the second sister's face and comforted: "The second sister is cranky and sentimental again. What you ask for doesn't mean that what the big sister wants, the big sister in my eyes is born rich and noble, and ordinary people can't tolerate her. ”
Such extraordinary beauty, wherever it is placed, is a disaster, only by entering the palace and getting the favor of the emperor can you be glorious for a lifetime.
The second sister asks for a single-minded person, and the eldest sister only seeks honor and favor.
Zi is not a fish, how do you know the joy of fish?
Jiang Xinyan understood the meaning of her brother's words, blushed slightly, and said with a smile: "As long as the eldest sister has to taste what she wants, it is excellent." ”
The spring ploughing ceremony is very cumbersome, the emperor is in the field, the south is standing, the servants are all in their own positions, by the household department of Shangshu to hold the Lei, Shuntianfu Yin to hold the whip, kneel into the emperor, the emperor palms the three pushes.
Shuntian Mansion served green boxes, the household servants sowed seeds, and the elders covered the soil.
The queen also wants to go to the ground, symbolically planting seedlings, the queen has gone to the ground, and Concubine Shu and Jiang Xinyue can't hold it up, so they all pull up their trouser legs and go down to the paddy field.
It seemed that Concubine Shu had never done such a thing, and when the dirty mud submerged her calves, her whole little face was bloodless for a moment, and every step was extremely difficult.
Emperor Xuanwu glanced back at Concubine Shu and Jiang Xinyue, Jiang Xinyue was holding rice seedlings in her hand, which had already been planted in a row, and she was also chatting energetically with the old man next to her who taught her to plant rice, as if she was discussing how to plant rice faster.
Seeing the emperor coming over, he waved to him with rice seedlings, and his eyes were full of sparkling light.
But because of the excessive movement, she almost fell, and the moment she stumbled forward, Emperor Xuanwu almost turned around.
But the old man beside her helped her steady, and she smiled and bowed to the old man: "Thank you, uncle." ”
Where would such a person be annoying?
Probably not, but the people followed her, praising her for planting rice well, and she was polite and had no shelves.
Emperor Xuanwu's spring ploughing was to bring the relationship with the common people and peasant households closer, showing the importance that the imperial court attached to agricultural affairs.
The concubines brought out in previous years, no one has really done it, Zhen Zhaoyi...... It does have a strong pure heart.
Looking at Concubine Shu again, although she endured the discomfort, her pale face had already told everyone that this lady hated farming and dirty.
If you don't talk about it, you can't deceive people by physiological reactions.
Concubine Shu followed behind Emperor Xuanwu, her weak body was shaky, and the emperor stretched out a hand and silently held her: "If you are not feeling well, you can go to the carriage to rest." ”
With the queen who does not change her face and Zhen Zhaoyi who is smiling, this spring ploughing is also very successful.
