31. Someone has come to find fault
Xue Pan traveled all the way, saw similar small courtyard houses are not a few, it can be seen that everyone lives in the bedroom, that Li Malu took Xue Pan to his room, Xue Pan saw that he lived in the west wing room and inevitably pulled down his face, this west chamber west chamber, it sounds like a romantic and fragrant appearance, in fact, the west chamber is located in the west, morning and evening are directly exposed to the sun, especially in spring and summer, especially in the hot and stuffy, in the past Zhang Sheng lived in the west chamber of the sojourn temple, but it is not the meaning of being treated, but Zhang Sheng is very poor, the monks in the temple look down on Zhang Sheng, Therefore, the worst place was arranged. In this era, there are no air conditioning fans, and the main house or the east wing room is not enough, and it is arranged in the west wing, which is not a good place to live. Don't think that it seems to be exposed to the sun from morning to night, this situation is a beautiful thing in autumn and winter, and in winter, the wind can pierce the west wing everywhere.
Li Malu brought Xue Pan into a house in the West Wing, saw the furnishings in the room, Xue Pan's face was a little stinky, the room was very small, there was only one room, a fire pit paved with blue bricks, and there was only a set of tables and chairs, nothing else, Xue Pan had lived since he crossed over, and all the places he lived were rich and gentle, where he could stand such a simple day, he laughed dryly, and said to Li Malu, "This place to live is simpler, I don't know if there are better houses?" If it costs a little more money, it will be done. "I wouldn't live in a garbage place like this.
"You are laughing," Li Malu said indifferently, "In this Xian'an Palace, everyone lives in the same place, there is no rule that you can live in a good place by spending money, the room here, people outside can't get in if they break their heads, Lord Xue is blessed to come here, it's better to cherish it." ”
The meaning of the words is not to pick and choose, Xue Pan has no choice, the so-called people are under the eaves, and they have to bow their heads, at this time Li Malu put on such a fair and selfless appearance, Xue Pan met the money for the first time, so he was also a little frustrated, Li Malu asked Xue Pan to report to the promotion officer, and there was naturally a servant to clean the room.
Xue Pan walked out of his dormitory in a gray manner, walked through the long palace alley with Li Malu, and arrived at a courtyard, the road was silent and few people, only some eunuchs who sprinkled and swept the floor with brooms, and there were many people outside the courtyard, holding documents and files in their hands, all of them turned their heads curiously to look at Xue Pan, Xue Pan and Li Malu entered the courtyard together, and were stopped in the atrium, Li Malu went in to pray, Xue Pan was bored and stood in place waiting.
The weather is just right, the sun is warm, it is comfortable to be irradiated in the sun, Li Malu went in and said that he did not come out for a while, Xue Pan will not feel that it seems that someone is targeting him, the waiting time in the Nanxun Hall is much longer than this, and he is not a big person, people do not have to give themselves a green channel priority, just wait honestly, Xue Pan wished that someone would come out at this time to scold him, "Wishful thinking, I still want to enter Xian'an Palace to study!" "And then drive yourself back.
Xue Pan closed his eyes to recuperate, and the footsteps of several people slowly approached Xue Pan from far to near, "Oh? Someone pretended to be a mysterious voice in Xue Pan's ear, "You are Xue Pan?" ”
Xue Pan opened his eyes and saw a slender young man who looked like a noble boy raised his eyebrows at him and said disdainfully, the young man was handsome, but he didn't know why, with a look of disdain on his face, I don't know if he was aimed at himself, or there will always be such a person who feels that he is high and puts on such a stinky face to someone who is not as good as himself. He was tied with a red silk jade belt around his waist, and the jade belt was embroidered with intricate patterns everywhere, and Xue Pan knew that it was a member of the clan when he saw the jade belt.
Emperor Taizu set the rules, in addition to his direct brothers, his own descendants are bright yellow jade belt, the rest of the clan are red jade belt, in order to show the sense of dignity, but also to prevent the future population breeding, ordinary people do not know the clan, if there is a conflict to greet the ancestors of these people it is not good, so use the red belt to show that these people what ancestors or grandfathers are the emperor or the emperor's cousins and cousins, etc., should not be provoked, Emperor Taizong succeeded to the throne, his line has also become a yellow jade belt, Therefore, the person in front of him is obviously a member of the clan.
The Dayue Dynasty learned the painful lesson that the former Ming vassal kings were too many to the extent that the finances dried up, and the princes of the clan of this dynasty did not divide the land, except for a few princes with huge merits, the rest were demoted to the lords, such as the emperor's brother can be named a prince, or directly to the county king, or not favored by the emperor, directly give a low-level title, such as the official position of the general of the Zhenguo, and then the son will be reduced to a certain degree of inheritance title, which was originally reduced to a certain extent and no longer declined, but the Holy Queen since the Jinguyuan mutiny, After being angered by the princes of the clan who besieged him, he first killed several princes who had been replaced by several generations, and because of this, he was disgusted with those clan groups who were dissatisfied with him. In this way, the status of the clan has dropped greatly, if ordinary people have some family background, it has become a common thing to marry those down-and-out dragon sons and phoenix grandchildren, and Xue Pan's eighth uncle, who likes fishing color the most, accepted several daughters of the clan as concubines, which was unimaginable before the Holy Empress Bingzheng.
The person in front of him was so arrogant, obviously not in line with the overall situation of the red ribbons of the clan, "It's Xue Pan down there," Xue Pan arched his hand towards the young man, "Don't you dare to ask the name of the honorable driver?" ”
"You don't need to know my name," the young man smiled arrogantly, spread out the paper fan and shook it slightly, and the group of people surrounding the young man on the side looked at Xue Pan with a smile on their faces, "You just need to know that in this Xian'an Palace, it is not as good as your Jinling countryside, so you have to be cautious in everything." ”
I haven't seen this kind of person for a long time, Xue Pan didn't get angry, he just looked at this sect disciple with interest, "If you don't want to say it, it's fine, but there is something I want to tell my brother." ”
"Oh?" The young man pretended to be puzzled and smiled disdainfully, "You just came to Xian'an Palace, do you want to teach me?" ”
"Don't dare to teach," Xue Pan said with a smile, "You said that Jinling is a rural place, but I don't dare to agree," he arched his hand towards the sky.
