Chapter 93

It rains in winter and the new wind blows.

There were not many pedestrians on the street, so it was even colder.

There are few people asking for money in every city in Beijing. The shop owners are looking at the sky in vain and sighing.

It wasn't long before the sound of horse's hooves came from the end of the quiet street. It was even more loud. In a short time, a general in armor and gray hair was sitting on his horse, leading a group of cavalry to quickly run through the street, only to the forbidden garrison at the gate of the capital.

Everyone was terrified.

After this group of people left the street, the shop owners dared to sigh, but they were afraid: "what's the matter?"

The tighter the new wind, the more dense the sky.

The rain soon turned into snow. The first snow of this winter finally came down.

*

sometimes Jiang Xuening thinks that God has left some pity for her after all.

At least let her meet Zhang Zha.

She walked around the waterside pavilion and soon arrived at the front hall. Little snow was falling from the sky. She only felt a little regret when she saw it: Zhang Zhe's favorite is rain. Now it's turned into snow, isn't he very happy?

The front hall is full.

She wanted to go straight to the table.

However, when he came to the corner of the front corridor, he saw Jiang Boyou. He seemed to be talking to his colleagues in the court.

Today, some officials of the imperial court took the risk of coming.

Jiang Boyou is one of them.

He was wearing a round necked robe with stone green Baifu pattern. He was standing with another man under the strong pine planted in the courtyard. His brow was locked. Listening to the man's words, he couldn't help shaking his head: "it's good to offend other families, but it's difficult to offend the second young master Xiao. The Zheng family is really pitiful."

The man sighed: "who says not? We all know the Zheng family in xishikou. I heard that there is a son sent to work in the palace. Although he is not a rich family, the ordinary people are living a good life. But when you meet the Xiao family, they dominate their property and force people to move to their ancestral graves. It's a bit miserable to send their family to prison. "

As soon as he finished, he looked up and saw Jiang Xuening.

So the rest of the words are swallowed back, toward Jiang Boyou said with a smile: "the waiter said for a long time, this is not, make love also arrived."

Jiang Boyou turns his head and sees Jiang Xuening. His originally locked brow spreads a little. He arched his hand with his colleague. With slight apology, the colleague doesn't mind, so he arched his hand to Jiang Xuening and goes into the hall.

Jiang Xuening just came over and heard a few words.

She went forward to salute Jiang Boyou, but she couldn't help asking, "when my father just talked to people, what he mentioned was the Zheng family in Hukou Tongli, Xishi?"

Jiang Bo said: "exactly. How do you know him?"

He remembered that there was a man in the Zheng family who was on duty in the palace. His heart moved and he asked one more question.

Jiang Xuening thought of Zheng Bao, because Zheng Bao was the chief Eunuch in the last life. Everyone knew where he lived. She has not forgotten the words "xishikou Hutong".

After hearing this, she was sure.

If there was no Zheng Bao in yangzhizhai last time, she was afraid that it would be difficult. So she went to Jiang Bo and said, "most of this family is Zheng Bao's family, a eunuch in charge of Kunning palace. Maybe the father didn't know that her daughter got out of danger when she checked yangzhizhai. It was because of this man's random response and his kindness and loyalty. Later, Mr. Xie told his daughter that father-in-law Wang Xinyi, the Secretary of rites, wanted to take him as an apprentice, and he would be promoted to serve the emperor in the near future. "

When it comes to the second half of the sentence, although there is no one around, her voice is still much lower, only Jiang Boyou can hear it.

Zheng Baohui was accepted by Wang Xinyi as an apprentice to serve in the Department of rites. Of course, Jiang Xuening didn't know about it from Xie Wei. Xie Wei didn't mean to tell her about it, but it didn't prevent her from dragging Xie Wei out for temporary use.

Sure enough, as soon as she said it, Jiang Boyou's face changed slightly.

People who have been in the officialdom for a long time have always known the meaning of elegance by listening to string songs. They can understand the meaning behind the vernacular without saying it deeply.

The Zheng family offended Xiao Ye, who was determined to inherit his family business. In fact, it wasn't the Zheng family's fault. When Xiao Ye was traveling outside Beijing, he saw a mountain and landed on the land below. He wanted to make his own hunting ground and build a summer home, so he drove all the families around him out.

The ancestral grave and property of the Zheng family are just over there.

I thought I could reason with Xiao, but I didn't want to go to the Yamen. On the contrary, Xiao Ye was very angry and wanted to send the Zheng family to the Yamen.

It was shuntianfu Yin who just talked to Jiang Boyou.

It's a hot potato to have such a thing in hand. That's why it's hard for Jiang Boyou.

It's a time of trouble. For all civil and military officials, it's better to do more than one thing, and it's the same for Jiang Boyou. But if Zheng Bao had a girl named Yu Ning in the palace, and Xie Juan said that this person had a future, things would be different.He frowned and thought.

At last, he said to Jiang Xuening, "I know about it. Don't worry."

The crowning ceremony was just around the corner, and everyone went in.

Jiang Boyou, "do you come with your royal highness?" Let's go. Let's go in, too

Jiang Xuening knew that Jiang Boyou should have an idea, but he didn't ask much, just said "yes", and then followed Jiang Boyou into the hall.

Even though the hall of marquis Yongyi is not in its heyday, the hall is full of well-dressed guests. When you look inside, you can see Xie Wei sitting in the position of guest of honor. Next to him are the admirers who will crown Yan Lin today.

Jiang Xuening took a quick look, half of them are familiar faces.

In the last generation, many aristocratic families who had a close relationship with the Houfu of Yongyi did not arrive after receiving the invitation from the Houfu. Later, Yanlin returned to the court, and Xie Wei rebelled. These families were either cleared up and wiped out, or withdrew from the dispute and scattered to the edge of power. Most of the people who still went to the Houfu to celebrate Yanlin's coronation, despite the ups and downs, became the core of the new power There are a few people who eat your salary and loyalty, and blame Yan Lin for helping Xie Wei to rebel, but they don't get any revenge. Even if they don't get any big officials, they are safe and sound.

Sometimes things in the world are like this: sometimes you want to avoid disaster, but you don't know that avoiding disaster will lead to real disaster; sometimes you want to get, but you don't know that getting is deeper loss.

After Shen Zhiyi and others arrived, they didn't see Jiang Xuening. They were still worried. As soon as they saw her coming in, they waved: "Ning Ning, this way."

Jiang Xuening went over.

Although the defense of men and women in the Da Qian Dynasty was not so serious, there were basically no female guests to see the gifts of men except the elders. But after all, the princess of LeYang, Shen Zhiyi, has a noble status, and she and Yan Lin are friends who grew up together. Naturally, she can attend in the hall, and her position is very front.

These accompanying readings in the palace are all stained with her light, and they are located nearby.

Jiang Xuening is pulled by Shen Zhi's clothes and sits directly beside her.

There was a small bell ringing in the hall, and there was a silence.

For a moment, the eyes of all the people gathered in the hall.

With the help of the old housekeeper, Hou yanmu came out of the back hall. As soon as they saw the ceremony, Yan Mu's face was sick, but on such a happy day today, he couldn't help but cheer up. He was a bit of Chizha in his youth, and even laughed after returning the ceremony.

"Thank you for your respect and presence. Our Marquis's mansion is really magnificent." His eyes fell on the dark people in the hall, but his sharp eyes were a little moved by his comfort. "Yan Mu has been busy in vain for 45 years, walking on the battlefield and going to Luntai. He doesn't want to be a little older, but he is old and sick, which makes everyone laugh. It's cold and windy today, but you can't give up. You've given me the dignity of an old man, and you've also given me the dignity of a dog. I'll always remember that. Thank you

Then he bowed.

It's said that today's "cold wind and snow" does not mention the hardships faced by the court and the Marquis's house, but people can easily hear the meaning of the words.

It's a pity that when Yan Mu was young, he led the army to expel the Tartars, but now he has been ordered by the emperor to encircle the mansion with heavy troops, and his sword is hanging around his neck.

How can people afford such a great gift?

For a while, they were busy saying "Lord Hou is serious" and "Lord hou can't do it", and then they gave it back with a deep bow.

This is the official beginning of the crown ceremony.

The whole front hall is almost the same as the ancestral hall.

Yan Lin is wearing a new plain robe with lapels. According to the ancient rites, he walks in from outside the hall. He first kowtows to heaven and earth, then sacrifices to the ancestral temple, and then pays homage to his parents. Only when the admirers attend the prayer and read the congratulatory speech, can he be crowned.

There are three scholars.

Yan Lin opened his hands and let the thick black dress over his shoulders. The long and wide leather belt passed through his waist through the admirer's hand. A round jade pendant with Ruyi pattern was tied on the leather belt and hung down to hold the hem.

He bowed himself to worship again.

The admirer exclaimed, "three crowns, please welcome the guests!"

The most important thing is to crown.

The guest of honor, also known as the "grand guest", is often a person of high moral standing. He should not only add the crown to the recipient himself, but also take the word for the recipient.

As soon as the praise voice came out, everyone's eyes fell on Xie Wei.

A grand guest should be treated as a gift.

However, today's Xie Wei not only has no formal clothes, but also only wears a snow-white robe with a white crane and cloud pattern. His broad robe and big sleeves are elegant and elegant. It is quite out of place with today's ceremony and people's formal clothes.

However, the host did not say a word.

Yan Mu also looks at Xie Wei.

Xie Wei looked at it in silence for a long time. At the moment, he finally lowered his eyes, got up gently and came forward.

Yan Lin raised his eyes and looked at him, turned to him and stood.The servants in the mansion handed over the lacquer plate with the crown on the end, and the admirer served it. They hung their heads and stood by Xie Wei's body.

The crown is made of white jade. It is three inches long and one-and-a-half inches high. The crown is rolled back and six beams are sewn together. It is quietly placed in the lacquer plate. When the sky shines, it is simple and clear, and has a legacy of ancient times.

A pair of simple wooden hairpins were placed next to the crown.

The former is rich and luxurious, while the latter is a bit remote.

We can see how the family precepts of marquis Yongyi are.

Xie Wei said: "the crown is the beginning of ceremony. For adults, those who are sons, younger brothers and younger ones, filial piety, younger brother and obedience are the first, then they can be human beings and then govern them. Now I'm invited by your father to crown you. I sincerely hope that you will remember today's precepts. "

He took the jade crown from the lacquer plate.

Yan Lin lifted his robe and knelt down in front of him.

Everyone's attention was put on Xie Wei's hand, but little attention was paid to what he said. After all, the congratulatory speech on the crown ceremony was all that.

Jiang Xuening, however, stood and listened with a little heart beating.

Xie Wei's congratulations are few!

In the book of rites, it is said that adults should be "son, younger brother, Minister and less man". What they should do is "filial piety, younger brother, loyalty and obedience". But Xie Wei just said that he should be son, younger brother and less man, but he didn't say "minister" and didn't mention half the word "loyalty"!

Yan Lin also raised his head at this moment, and his sharp and cold eyes pierced Xie Wei's face.

Xie Wei but low Mou put the jade crown on the top of Yan Lin's head and said to him flatly: "hang the head."

Yan Lin was shocked by the surging of the river in his heart. He was surprised and shocked. But at that time, he did not dare to show half a point. After looking at him for a moment, he finally bowed his head according to his words.

The admirer then handed over the wooden hairpin.

Xie Wei took it.

But just as he was about to pass the wooden hairpin through the jade crown to tie Yan Lin ' Instigating mutiny in the army, we are now punished as disorderly officials and thieves! All the people in the Marquis's residence should be arrested, and those who dare to resist should be killed! "

"What

All the guests in the hall were startled, most of them were in a panic and looked out.

Hou yanmu was shocked and suddenly got up!

I don't know when it's snowing outside. A group of soldiers holding swords and swords have cold light on their armor. They directly killed the guards who were blocked by the door. They walked into the front hall with heavy steps.

It was Xiao Yuan, the Duke of Ding, who led the army!

Jiang Xuening's fingers in her sleeves trembled. The bloody scenes she had seen at the gate of the Marquis's residence in the last life seemed to come up from the bottom of her vision, making her like an ice cave!

Everyone knows that the future of the house of marquis Yongyi is uncertain and at any time something may happen.

But today, there is no saying in Yan Lin's Guanli palace. It should have been tacitly approved by the emperor.

No one thought that the emperor chose to do it today, and the leader was Xiao Yuan, the famous Duke of Dingguo!

All of a sudden, almost everyone was in a state of confusion.

Yan Mu's old eyes are staring at Xiao Yuan.

Yan Lin is a pupil shrink, suddenly will get up, but a hand is at the moment heavily fell down, forced to press on his shoulder.

He raised his head.

It was Xie Wei's palm that pressed his shoulder tightly and caught his blood rushing up his head. However, from the angle of looking up, he could not clearly distinguish each other's expression. He felt as calm as the deep sea, and could not see the waves. However, a clear perception came from his shoulder: his five fingers were pressed tightly, and his fingertips almost sank into his flesh!

Xie Wei blinked gently, as if he could not see the startling change or hear the terrible movement. His eyes still fell on the crown.

After pressing Yan Lin, he raised his hand again and held Yuguan.

The wooden hairpin held between his slender fingers, slowly turned, and penetrated into the hole at the bottom of the jade crown. His eyes and eyes were as calm as the green mountains and the rain. In his seclusion, he added a bit of heavy and solemn, and only said quietly: "a hero must have a wonderful day. It's a shame for a man to stand up and fight with his sword. He is a brave man in the world only when he is not surprised and angry. Don't be surprised or angry. "

Yesterday's comments were all about Zhang Zha. I'm sorry for Yan Lin, and those who called for Zhang Zha's play?

Zhang Zha's main play is not here, but it's coming soon.

As well as the Mid Autumn Festival poetry contest is still going on, it's not easy to search before, so from this chapter, we all send a red envelope to those who write poetry. The official is too poor ().
