Chapter 14 The New Upstart of Beijing
"Good sister, why did you come to Huashan with this young whale? It's cold in winter, can you withstand such suffering?" Zhou Budo glared at Zhao Youjing fiercely, and when he saw that the owner of the fairy-like voice was about to come out, his face softened. "Just rest in the carriage, don't be caught by the wind and cold, your sister Lingxiao will come to Huashan soon, if you are sick, how can I explain to her? β
Despite Zhou Budo's persuasion, the woman still walked out of the carriage, and the moment she stepped out of the carriage, the heavens and the earth seemed to become brighter, and the howling north wind seemed to weaken the blowing of the world. Hu Bugui and Feng Buping were dumbfounded, and even Yue Buqun, who was the most diligent in cultivating qi on weekdays, also changed slightly.
I saw the woman's white jade-like almond face, wearing a light blue jacquard plain leather jacket, a pink ruyi pattern moonflower skirt mopping the floor, and a jacquard silk embroidered with a yellow bottom elastic ink cicada wing yarn. Smooth green silk, the head is ** chic double knife bun, the light and slow cloud sideburns are inserted in the silk and the eyebrows are high, the skin is like a clotted fat hand wearing a red gold ring beads nine turns exquisite bracelet, the waist is belted, there is a buckle Ruyi pile embroidered sachet hanging on it, the feet are wearing soft satin brocade shoes, and the whole person is out of the water hibiscus, Tianzi national color.
Zhao Youjing frowned, walked quickly to the woman's side, took off the cloak on her body and shook it, carefully draped it on the woman's body, and then took the woman's plain hand from the maid's hand, "Didn't you let you rest in the carriage? Why did you still come out." β
"Brother Zhou greeted me personally, how could I still sit in the car, but there was a little breeze, and it was not a good thing. The woman said in a weak voice, and the wind seemed to be getting quieter and quieter as she spoke, as if heaven and earth couldn't bear to cover up such a moving fairy sound, "It's you, the cloak was given to me, isn't it cold?"
"I have internal strength to protect myself, and I am not cold in this little wind and snow. Besides, dignified man, I can't resist this bit of wind and snow, and your father and they are going to talk about me again. The tenderness in Zhao Youjing's eyes seemed to make the snow under Mount Hua melt, and the two **** hands were placed on the shoulders of this woman to hold the cloak so as not to fall off.
"Ahem!" Zhou Budo really couldn't stand it, didn't he see that Hu Bugui and Feng Buping's eyes were about to erupt sparks?
"Big brother of the Zhou family, little sister is polite. The woman suddenly remembered where this was, thinking that she and her lover were in front of me and me, her face blushed, and she made a blessing to Zhou Budo, "Brother Zhou said a few days ago, Sister Lingxiao is also coming over?" The woman talked to Zhou Budo with a smile and groaned, and secretly picked up the soft flesh on Zhao Youjing's waist, turned around, and then stepped aside as if nothing had happened.
"Well, Su Su, you are also coincidental, and in ten days it will be a day of great joy for me and Lingxiao. "How could Zhou Budo not see it? But such small entanglements between couples, maybe the entanglements can't be talked about, it's just between the little two. How could Zhou Budo be embarrassed to open his mouth about such things? Pretending not to see it, he said it directly.
"Yo, congratulations to Brother Zhou. Su Su's eyes lit up and he congratulated. Seeing Su Su's expression, Zhou Budo suddenly had an ominous omen in his heart, every time this little girl has this expression, she doesn't know how much bad water she is holding in her heart, although it won't hurt anything, but it's enough to make people cry and laugh.
"You can't let this little girl mess up Lao Tzu's wedding. Zhou Budo beckoned Zhao Youjing and his party up the mountain, and asked people to lead the carriage to the well-maintained stables of the Huashan faction at the bottom of the mountain, while secretly thinking in his heart how to make his wedding go smoothly.

Beijing, a mansion in Xicheng
"Your Majesty... How can Your Majesty... How can this be? Indulge the local tyrants to kill and injure the officers and men of the guard station and the captain of the brocade clothes. In the long run, how can the imperial court still exist? Is there any need for the authority of the central government?" The owner of this family seems to have just returned home from the yamen, and the official uniform on his body has not yet had time to be changed, and he has not even taken off his black gauze hat. Looking at his current posture, it seems that he is not ready to take it off immediately. It can be seen from the white pheasant on his chest that this should be an official of the fifth rank or from the fifth grade,
The officials of the Ming Dynasty have an alias "Yiguan **", don't get me wrong, this is not a curse. The title is derived from the clothing of officials in the Ming Dynasty. Emperor Taizu Gao stipulated that the uniforms of civil officials were embroidered with birds, and the uniforms of military officials were painted with beasts. The specific regulations are: the civil official embroidered crane in the first grade, the second embroidered golden pheasant, the third embroidered peacock, the fourth embroidered cloud goose, the fifth embroidered white pheasant, the sixth embroidered heron, the seventh embroidered mandarin duck, the eighth embroidered yellow oriole, and the ninth embroidered quail.
The first and second grades of military attachΓ©s are painted with lions, the third with tigers, the fourth with leopards, the fifth with bears, the sixth and seventh with biao, the eighth with rhinoceros, and the ninth with seahorses. Civil and military officials wear red robes from the first to fourth ranks, green robes from the fifth to seventh ranks, and green robes from the eighth and ninth ranks. Therefore, at that time, the phrase "well-dressed" was a praise, which was quite enviable. It's just that in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the eunuchs were dictatorial and political. The civilian and military generals oppressed the people and did all kinds of evil, and their reputation was notorious, and the common people regarded them as bandits and plague gods, so the term "well-dressed **" began to have a demeaning meaning, and the common people called the civil and military officials who did evil and had bad morals "well-dressed **". However, it is still the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, and this "well-dressed" is still a compliment.
"Sir, please have tea. "A young man dressed as a servant bent over and held a beautifully carved red lacquered wooden plate, on which was a blue and white tea cup made in an official kiln. The little guy held this wooden plate and came to the front of this five-grade or five-grade official of the imperial court.
"Go, go, my lord doesn't have time to drink tea today. The officer seemed to be in an extremely irritable mood, and was about to kick the little guy out of the door in three or two clicks.
"Fang Lang, something is wrong. Provoked you to make such a big fuss?" walked in from the side hall a woman wearing a moon-white plain silk shirt, a peach-colored skirt embroidered by fine embroidery, and a lake blue bibi on the outside. If Zhou Budo or Lingxiao were present, they would definitely be able to recognize this woman, but it was the eldest lady of the Yangwu Marquis Mansion, Xue Yu.
"It's not a big deal, it's just some trivial politics. Although he was full of anger, as soon as Xue Yu came out, the anger of the official surnamed Fang from the fifth grade seemed to disappear all at once, but he couldn't help but persuade Xue Yu, "Be careful these days, when you are on duty for your husband, I met your father, and I heard your father say that Your Majesty's holy decree will lock Zhu Jiu and several other people in the Thirteen Taibao together, go to Beijing to investigate, and let the household department reduce or exempt the taxes of the Shaanxi Political Department for one year." You didn't even see the happy look of the Tartar official Sehachi, hey... The dynasty relied heavily on honorable and noble tartar officials, but how many of the sons of the honorable family can be used now? I'm afraid that they will step in the future..."Suddenly, he remembered that his lady's father was a high-ranking and powerful nobleman in the court, and he immediately stopped.
Xue Yu smiled and shook his head, and helped her young husband take off his black gauze hat and untie the knots on the crewneck shirt, "You and I are husband and wife, what is there to avoid? Although the Yangwu Marquis Mansion is the concubine's maiden family, the concubine also knows what the group of children in the family are. The children of the third generation, only one Xue Jian can afford to use, and if it goes on like this according to the concubine's body, these state mansions, marquis mansions, earls and so on will not be useful. Besides, you are always so worried about the country and the people, but it's a pity that Your Majesty doesn't know people, you have such a great talent, and you are just a bachelor from the Hanlin Academy of the Five Grades. β
While enjoying the tenderness of his lover helping him change his clothes, this Fang attendant said: "The husband is still young, and the young man is in a high position, which is a blessing. Your Majesty today, benevolent and generous, is a rare benevolent monarch in ancient and modern times, although not as holy as the first emperor, but for many years of taking care of the government, but also quite experienced, if it is not time to use your family to serve me, it will naturally be overpromoted. β
"Just now I heard you say that Your Majesty ordered to lock up Uncle Zhu Qi and ask them when they entered Beijing, what is the other thing? Is it so serious? Let Your Majesty move those uncles at this juncture?" Helping Fang Shiyu take off his official uniform, Xue Yu turned around and handed the clothes to the attendant maid, and took a protective coat filled with a thick cotton jacket from the maid, and helped Fang Shiyu put it on, while saying: "Go and ask someone to boil a bowl of ginger soup, and then go and bring the stove over to ward off the cold for the master." The climate of the capital is really not comparable to Nanjing, it is too cold. β
"Yes, ma'am," the maid replied timidly, and went down to make arrangements.
"What else can happen? Isn't it the big ** of the Huashan faction that your father chose for you?" Fang Shiyu shook his head and said in a regretful tone, "This time the Huashan faction is infighting, and the vitality is greatly damaged, it is a good time for the imperial court to strengthen its control over Shaanxi, even if you don't order the extermination of the Huashan faction, you can't exempt Shaanxi from taxes for a year, and sit back and watch the Huashan faction recover." In this way, when the Huashan faction comes back to its senses in the future, will the world in Shaanxi still belong to our Ming Dynasty? Not to mention that the other Huashan faction will retaliate or not retaliate in the future, just say that when did those people in the rivers and lakes have a law and discipline in their eyes? Relying on their own martial arts, they will kill people when they say they kill people. This is the only one that should be strictly rectified and eliminated evil. (To be continued.) )
