The Oiran will be very lively, and the competition for the Oiran on September 16 has to be held in Quchifang because of too many people, which is far from the imperial city but wins because of the beautiful scenery and open venues, and the royal family often holds banquets here. With the arrival of the king of Ningling County, and the reason of praying for the emperor's grandson, the Son of Heaven specially allowed to open the royal garden Furong Garden, so that more people could watch this grand event and pray for the emperor's grandson.
"After the dream, the building is locked, and the curtain hangs low ...... when you wake up", as soon as the night opened, the noisy square immediately quieted down, and everyone was listening to the delicate woman on the stage singing "Falling flowers are independent, and the swifts are flying", feeling the beauty of "falling flowers" and "light rain" in the song, listening to the lingering of "saying lovesickness on the pipa strings", and how many people burst into tears when the repeated chanting of "the bright moon was there, and the clouds returned"? .
The aftermath was lingering, the color was thunderous, and the prince Shi Chongwei, who was sitting in front of the stage, sighed: "The words are good, the music is good, the people are better, and the girl should be the Oiran." ”
Stone squares on the side? smiled: "It is a blessing for a little girl to be praised by the prince." ”
Seeing the prince's surprised gaze, Shi Fang? explained softly: "I see that Lianxi is smart and lovely, and she has recognized herself as a righteous daughter, although this woman is in the Qinglou, she knows that she is clean and self-conscious, and she is still a clean person. The minister intends to send her to serve His Royal Highness in the East Palace, but I don't know if His Royal Highness is willing to reward the minister's face. ”
Shi Chongwei's heart was full of joy, he never forgot when he first saw the pity on the long bridge, so many beauties in the East Palace couldn't match the mercy, that Nizi smiled and saw it itching, and really wanted to hug it in his arms and love him wantonly. It's just that Lian Xi is a woman in the Qinglou, and she can't get close to the prince's reputation, and now Shi Fang? Considering her a righteous daughter, this scruple no longer exists.
Holding the cup, Shi Chongwei said with a smile: "Thank you Uncle Wang for bothering to organize this Oiran meeting to pray for my son, and I will pay tribute to Uncle Wang for a cup." "Shi Fang? Comprehend it, raise a glass and drink it all.
The name of the Oiran fell on the head of Lianxi unexpectedly, and Li Jingxuan, Xiong Yi'an and others flocked to Dingfang Pavilion to celebrate her in a stirring mood, but Lianxi never returned to the Magnolia Pavilion. Xiong Yi'an, who guessed a little bit of the truth, got drunk and cried bitterly, and since then Jiao Niang has been locked in the deep palace and never seen again.
The carriage shook slightly as it passed the stone bridge, and the anxious Pixi couldn't help but lift the corner of the curtain and look out. The moonlight is like water, glimpsing the corner of the eaves from the gap, and the mythical beast on the roof ridge is mysterious and solemn against the background of the blue night sky, and the silhouette is engraved into the heart.
The wheels rolled, slowly driving towards the deep palace, the pity was like being in a dream, excited and nervous, from tonight onwards she was no longer a lowly woman in the Qinglou, but the object of envy of most women. Pinching the corners of his clothes tightly, Lianxi slowly closed his eyes, and the palace was not good, and it was unpredictable to enter the palace. When he left the Magnolia Pavilion, he let go of the canary in the cage, and the finches jumped on the branches, full of joy in their chirping, and finally spread their wings and flew away. Lianxi opened her eyes, her eyes were full of determination, canary, maybe one day she will become a golden phoenix.
On September 22, the full moon of the emperor's grandson, according to the custom of Zheng Guo, shaved the head of the emperor's grandson and "removed the fetal hair", this ceremony was presided over by his uncle. Xiong Yi'an was a little unrelenting, and often looked at the maids of the East Palace, Xiong Zhiren held back his anger and snorted heavily in Xiong Yi'an's ear. didn't see the figure of the pity, and the bear was unhappy.
The laughter of the front hall reached Duanben Palace, which was the residence of the prince, and there were many halls in addition to the main hall, and Lianxi lived in the hall on the left side of Duanben Palace. The crown princess hugged the imperial grandson and took the palace people to participate in the full moon celebration, the palace was a little deserted, and the two close-fitting girls of Lanxiang and Meixiang were stone? Sent to the palace to serve and accompany the pity.
It has been six days since entering the palace, and Lianxi was named the seventh rank of Zhaoxun, ranking fourth among the prince's concubines, and there are also grades such as Chenghui, Liangyuan, and Liangdi. There are big rules in the palace, and Lianxi knows that she is serving people in Israel, and she is not coming in the right way, so she is careful with 10,000 words, lest she say one more word or take one more step to be caught by others. Although the East Palace is noble, it is far less comfortable than the Magnolia Pavilion, the cage of the East Palace is more restrained, a trace of remorse flashed in the heart of the mercy, there is no turning back arrow from the bow, gently shakes his head, picks up the embroidery on the side, and wants to embroider a hundred blessing jackets by hand before the 100-day ceremony of the emperor and grandson, pray for the emperor and grandson, and please the princess.
Jiang Anyi's mood was a little depressed, Xinfei and Tong'er did not come to the capital but went to Xinqipingshan Town, Dezhou, and they were really worried about not seeing the child for half a year, so they couldn't take care of him. Xin Fei's letter told him that the business of Huazhou was entrusted to Guo Huaili, and the officialdom was thinking about the benefits of Master Jiang from top to bottom, and no one took the tea cool, as long as Jiang Anyi was stable in Beijing, everything would naturally be stable.
Xin Fei and others wanted to wait for the spring to bloom next year and come to Beijing for a reunion, but Liu Yixing's family rushed to Beijing at the end of September. lived in the house that Jiang Anyi purchased for him, and learned that Jiang Anyi had found a place for him as the head of the Zhan Mansion in the East Palace, and Liu Yixing was satisfied. He was witty by nature, and he and Li Laigao soon became friends, and the two gathered together in leisure time to visit the mountains and rivers, drink and drink tea, and live a leisurely life.
There are not many affairs in Jiangfu, and Li Donghong is immersed in hard study in his spare time, preparing to win the Toad Palace in three years, and the opportunity promised by the Son of Heaven should not be missed. Especially living in Jiangfu, with Jiang Anyi, the "golden hand", often pointing out, Li Donghong consciously made rapid progress.
After Li Mingxing inspected Li Donghong's homework, he happily said: "Although I missed for three years, Donghong has accumulated a lot of money, and no one can stop you in the next session." "Please build a group to practice sparsely" is famous in the Son of Heaven, with your talent is certain, you have to set your goal in the top three, so as to live up to Jiang Anyi's virtue of making a name for you. It's a pity that this kid has no shape, and he doesn't do his job every day, otherwise the two of you can both win, and my Li family's revival is just around the corner. ”
In October, the weather in Kyoto plummeted, and the Son of Heaven feared that there would be another natural disaster similar to the collapse of the Yuanhua River.
The Son of Heaven returned to the court, the prince returned to power, the emperor and grandson came into the world, the position of the prince was stable, the King of Chu'an and his family died down, the imperial history platform pointed the finger at the corrupt officials, and the capital was calm and peaceful. The affairs of the East Palace gradually decreased a lot, and Jiang Anyi became familiar with the affairs of the Zhan Mansion, and gradually became idle, and his life became more and more orderly.
Peaceful days are easy to pass, seeing the 100-day ceremony of the emperor and grandson, although the Son of Heaven has not yet decreed, the capital spontaneously became lively. The 100-day ceremony is also called 100 days, and the folk have "100 days of giving birth to a child, which is called 100 days", and the 100-day ceremony is a 100-day ceremony, and it means to live a long life and be 100 years old, and it is auspicious.
Zheng Guo's custom for 100 days of ritual is to wear 100 clothes (children's clothes made by relatives and friends collecting the cloth of a hundred families) and wearing a 100-year-old lock (a collection of gold and silver from a hundred families to make locks), which must be handled by the princess's mother and Xiong Yi'an, who is the uncle.
The emperor and grandson are the guarantee of the long-term wealth of the Xiong family, and they can start preparing after eating the full moon wine, and the civil and military officials have made fun, lest they send the gold and silver, cloth and the Xiong family will not accept it. As for the gold and silver to build a hundred-year-old lock, it is estimated that a gold house can be built for the emperor and grandson to live in.
November 15th, Hajj. A group of people came to beat gongs and drums outside the palace, and the leader was the temporary county order of Suxi County
Bai Zhipeng. Guo Shuhui was dismissed from office, and Bai Zhipeng, the county leader, temporarily took charge of the county order of Suxi County, because it was not far from the annual examination, the ministry did not appoint a new county order for the time being, and it will be arranged again next year.
Bai Zhipeng opened his brain, Suxi County is Zhen County, the county order is the official rank on the fifth grade, and his own county is only on the seventh grade, a full eight steps behind, even if he jumps up, it will be too far. Seeing a good opportunity in front of him, Bai Zhipeng was really like a hundred claws scratching his heart, and it was difficult to sleep and eat.
One person is short in wisdom, and everyone is in wisdom, Bai Zhipeng called the chief bookkeeper He Liang and the county lieutenant Li Jinyou together to discuss that he could be promoted to the county commander, and they also rose with the tide.
He Liang? Tiered oysters? The wreckage is broken? Broken glass? Hungry?? What's the difference? Gangrene?1 Ripple? Ю Zheng? Loquat Shi Gong Nancai Wheel Huai 峁傥? Scar? Ship-like? Hello? You Snail Rui? Badger chaos? T踊士锷砩舷搿!?/p>
Li Jinyou said: "What can be done, no one will answer even if we send money to the East Palace." I heard that the emperor and grandson 'wash three', there is a big basket at the city gate, as long as the emperor and grandson live a long life and are auspicious, they will give two copper coins, and the emperor's family has more silver, and he will care about you and me. ”
Bai Zhipeng's eyes lit up, and he knocked on the table again and again: "You don't need to send money, I have a good idea." The three of them muttered and discussed in one place for a long time, and then went about their duties.
Shi Shen's family was arrested, the unjust case was revealed, the occupied fields were returned, the robbed men and women returned home, the Son of Heaven issued a decree to compensate the suffering people, and the people of Suxi County were grateful to Dade, and the mountain shouted long live.
Bai Zhipeng sent out the servants, and preached everywhere that the people of Suxi should be rewarded for receiving the great kindness of the Son of Heaven and the prince, and the emperor and grandson will be in the world for a hundred days.
He Liang shouted that he was a hundred clothes, and everyone had a piece of rag in each family, and the clothes made of sewn together were enough to be worn in a house, but it was the people's will to obtain them; Li Jinyou Zhang Luo is a thousand families of rice, and there is no need for much, each household only receives a handful of grain, and together they actually collect nearly 1,000 catties of wheat, rice, sorghum and other things.
Everything is ready, Bai Zhipeng asked celebrities to write a "Prayer for the Emperor and Sun", chose the day of the Great Dynasty on November 15, brought the fathers and villagers of Suxi County, beat gongs and drums to bless the emperor and grandson. The guards guarding the palace reported to the Golden Palace, Shi Fang was really overjoyed, and winning the hearts of the people was a real auspicious man, and ordered Bai Zhipeng to bring several people from Suxi County to the pilgrimage.
After receiving 100 clothes, 100-year-old locks and thousands of meals, Shi Fangzhen announced that the people of Suxi County would be exempted from food for one year, and Bai Zhipeng would be promoted to the rank of Liupin, and if he passed the annual examination next year, he would temporarily take over the post of county commander of Suxi County, Bai Zhipeng was grateful, ecstatic, and being able to be in the emperor's heart was more important than being promoted.
Bai Xiancheng's operation triggered a trend in the capital and even the state and county to collect hundreds of clothes and cast hundred-year-old locks for the emperor and grandson, and the whole world entered a passive carnival.
