Chapter 518: Prosperity and Loneliness
The gifts in the two rooms of the Yang family were pulled out, but the New Year's gifts received were full of seven or eight rooms, and there was no nonsense about not receiving gifts during the New Year.
The Yang family was in a crowded city, and the carriages and horses outside the gate were half a mile long, and there were almost no officials in Beijing who did not come to visit him, even if many local officials could not come in person, they were also sent to bring in the door and gifts.
The door-shaped thing is equivalent to the business card of ancient times, but its meaning is much more serious and solemn than the business cards of later generations.
The door shape arose in the late Han Dynasty, popular in the Six Dynasties, especially in the Wei and Jin dynasties, before the Tang Dynasty was generally called the famous thorn, the material is bamboo and wood. Youjin also added the official position age and other content to the "thorn", which was used exclusively to meet the boss, and was named "Jueli Thorn".
This kind of officialdom business card has a special writing format, and all the content must be written in a single line in the gyāng of "thorn", which cannot be split, so it is also called "long thorn".
In the Song Dynasty, most of the famous thorns were replaced by "door-shaped", and the content of the door-like shape was more complicated, like a text message.
This is mostly used by subordinates when they ask to see their superiors. After this kind of door shape is presented, the boss adds a "stabbing guide" after the door shape before it can be seen. It is like the future generations can only be seen when they are circled and signed by the chief, that is, approved. This doorway is much more solemn than the name thorn. It is a bit similar to the xing quality of "谒" used in ancient times.
The "door-shaped" production is also more exquisite. Some doors are made of red silk, and red gold is the character. Some doors are a brocade, and the big red velvet characters on it are also woven.
When presenting the door shape, the bottom shell is also added. The lower official sees the chief, with a green sè bottom shell. When the protégé first sees the master, the bottom shell is made of red silk. These are not to be sloppy, and if you get it wrong, you will be passed on as a joke.
When handing over the door, in terms of title, it is often necessary to lower one's own status, humbly calling "the little guy under the door", "insignificant student" and so on, so as to elevate the other party. Yang Yi doesn't know how many "little boys" he has received, and he is willing to be a little girl, not to mention "small students" and the like.
If those gilded doors are taken out and sold, they will be sold for ten or eight times. It can be said that it is not a gift, but it is a lot of money just to receive the door.
The problem is that the last thing that Scholar Yang lacks now is money, and he is dizzy to deal with visitors every time, and if it were for these small money, he would have closed his door long ago.
Fortunately, Qin Cāo was virtuous, Xiao Yi took leave to return to her hometown to save her relatives, and she became Yang Yi's intimate little secretary, and she carefully classified the doors that entered the mansion, reminding Yang Yi which ones should be received first and which ones could be arranged later; Relatives near and far, receiving gifts in return, and entering into love, she arranges them in an orderly manner, Yang Yi only needs to follow her prompts, and she will not make mistakes.
Qin Cāo was originally a Qinglou name, and she was a minister in every year, and she was strictly trained in receiving things, and it can be said that she was no less than the women of the Thirteen Niang's high-ranking officials and dignitaries in this regard. With Qin Cāo here, Yang Yi is really a lot more relaxed.
This sent away the last batch of guests, Yang Yi took a moment, then went out on horseback, and went all the way to Yujin Garden.
The garden is full of snow, the trees are sparse, only the pines and cypresses are tall and green, Yang Yi came to the residence of the eldest princess of the Qin Kingdom, and saw that she was taking a few palace maids to warm wine and enjoy the plum blossoms under the plum tree.
The Yulu Garden is usually quiet, but since the eldest princess of the Qin Kingdom moved into this garden, it is even tighter on the outside and loose on the inside, and it is rare to enter the garden to enjoy the fun.
The small lake has been frozen, smooth as a mirror, the sun is reflected on it, reflecting the colorful light, the small pavilion on the shore of the lake, a few plum trees are blooming in the wind; The small flower bones are frosted and snowy, and there is a small number under the flowers, and the palace maids on the charcoal stove on the small sides put the red dates, alders, codonopsis, yams and other tonic medicines into the pot, and then pour into the aged daughter's red fine fire and cook slowly, and the wine and flowers are drunk together.
Zhao Qian was wearing a dark red gold jacquard satin collared long jacket, and still wearing the mink hat with white sè pendants on both sides on her head, standing under the flowers and watching Yang Yi approach with a smile.
When the palace maids saw Yang Yi coming, they retreated obediently after a blessing.
Yang Yi dismounted with a smile and said slowly: "The forest is halal, and the grass clothes are like wilds." Blooming in the ice and snow, don't you know? Pure and good, self-controlled, forget to raise noble. The night is quiet and the moon is bright, and the door is full of snow. ”
Zhao Qian was happy to hear it, this poem is ostensibly praising plum blossoms, but Yang Yi uses it here, which is clearly a metaphor for flowers. She took a few steps up and asked quietly: "Why are you here, it is approaching the end of the year, you should be a lot of entertainment." ”
Yang Yi threw away the reins, took her hand and said with a smile: "If I don't come, won't I become a lover again." ”
"You've always been, always."
Yang Yi didn't argue, when he saw her dressed, he unexpectedly remembered Princess Huazheng again; The two walked back to the plum tree holding hands, Yang Yi said in a harmonious voice: "This year's big festival, I can't rest assured that you live here alone, besides, your mother must also be thinking about you in the palace, you have to be obedient, this time I will move back to the palace to accompany your mother, do some filial piety for the children, and wait for the Lantern Festival, if you want to go back to live here, I won't stop you, how?" ”
Zhao Qian leaned into his arms, snuggled and said: "I listen to you, Ming Ri will move back to the palace to accompany my mother, in fact, the tenth sister came yesterday, I planned to go back to the palace with her, but it was ......."
When she said this, she hugged Yang Yi tighter with her arms, and Yang Yi could hear that she was willing to go back to the palace until she came to see her, otherwise as soon as she returned to the palace, she was afraid that she would not see her for a long time.
Yang Yi patted her pink back and said: "It's good that you can think so, after you go back, honor your mother, don't be Xing, and the Queen Mother, go around more, it's good for you." ”
"Okay, you're wordy enough, I don't listen, I don't listen." The voice of the princess of Qin Guo was greasy, as if she was soaked in honey, and the writhing little waist was like a snake swinging, don't move.
Yang Yi picked up her chin, pecked lightly and smiled: "I'm not worried that you are used to it, once your mother urges you to marry, and you quarrel with her, this is a big New Year, and it will be a mess at that time, but how can it be good." ”
"Actually...... Actually, my mother already knows what I have to do with you. The princess of Qin State twisted his jade fingers slightly, and a faint blush appeared on her face.
"Got it?"
Yang Yi was a little in a daze, the rumors between the two entrances had been known to everyone, Zhao Qian's mother naturally knew her daughter's mind early on, and now what she said about knowing 'the two of us' should refer to the behavior of the two of them.
Yang Yi couldn't help asking, "When did your mother know about her, and what did she say?" ”
"What can she say, I .........."
"What are you?"
"I ....... me and I said I'm already yours." After the princess of Qin Guo said this, her head was buried deep in his arms, and she didn't dare to raise her head again.
Yang Yi can't help but be even more strange, in fact, experienced people can roughly distinguish whether a woman is a virgin or not from some demeanors, although Yang Yi and Zhao Qian have "met frankly", but they have not really broken her body, if Concubine Song sees that her daughter is still perfect, why didn't she refute her?
The eldest princess of the Qin Kingdom has been making trouble for so many years, could it be that Concubine Song acquiesced in her and her behavior because of this?
No matter what, it's a good thing that there won't be any more turmoil anyway. Yang Yi hugged Zhao Qian's soft body, and his heart was inexplicably relaxed.
"Why don't you speak?" Seeing that he had been silent for a long time, the princess of Qin couldn't help but raise her head and ask.
"I'm thinking, you said you were mine, how would your mother react at that time."
"My mother...... She just let out a long sigh and said nothing else. ”
"It's okay if you don't say it, I'm just wronged you."
Princess Qin's eyes blinked, slowly closed, her ruddy lips moved gently, Yang Yi lowered her head and kissed gently, and the two kissed under the plum tree for a while, until the daughter on the stove overflowed red and made a "zizi" sound, Yang Yi let go of her.
With the fragrance of plum, the two leaned together to taste wine and gossip, and after more than an hour, Yang Yi said goodbye.
When he returned to his house, he happened to see Thirteen Niang's car coming back, so he hurriedly went to get his husband in and out of the car.
"Lady, where are you going to inspect and come back?"
Thirteen Niang raised her hand and swept the green silk on her sideburns, bit her lip and smiled: "The official is so attentive, the concubine wants to ask where the official is coming back?" ”
"Lady o, the phrase "Nothing to be courteous can not be used for the husband, all because the husband has always been so attentive to the lady, and the latter sentence is not a jiān that is a thief, it is even more inappropriate, Niangzi, please think, we are a husband and wife who have officially worshipped the church, how can we say that there is a jiān love?"
Thirteen Niang couldn't help but take a bite of him, stretched out her jade fingers, pinched the soft flesh on his waist accurately, and twisted it clockwise.
"Hiss.......... lady light, uh, I guess the lady is visiting her subordinates, yes, is that Hanqing's family okay?"
Thirteen Niang seemed to suddenly remember something, and she added strength to her hand, which made Scholar Yang grin.
"Guanjin, but you told Han Qing at the beginning that if Xian'er gave birth to a daughter, if Mulan gave birth to a boy, you would give her daughter to his family as a child daughter-in-law."
"Oh, good for you Ma Hanqing, you still rely on it, don't listen to his nonsense, when did I do such a loss-making transaction, I was also ......... Hey, lady, listen to me slowly, that's not the case. ”
The couple walked all the way to the front hall, and they suffered from Scholar Yang on the way, hissing constantly, like a poisonous snake.
In the end, Scholar Yang was no longer a thousand, and he didn't explain anymore, he picked up Thirteen Niang, and in her coquettish voice, he walked to the front hall with Meijin in his arms majestically.
"Guanjin, you are dead, quickly put down the concubine, the family is watching, let me down."
"I'm not afraid of seeing the lady at home, what am I afraid of?"
"The official enters, the concubine is wrong, you let the concubine down, the concubine will never dare again."
"That's good."
After Yang Yi finished saying this, he just walked to the door of the front hall with Thirteen Niang in his arms, and suddenly saw the iron egg flash out of the door, looking at his father and mother with a pair of big eyes without blinking.
"Daddy Qianma hugging his mother?"
This can't teach bad children, Yang Yi hurriedly put Thirteen Niang down and explained: "Your mother kissed her....... she ate too much......"
"You've just eaten too much." Thirteen Niang blushed and said to her son, "Rui'er, don't believe Daddy, it was my mother's foot just now." ”
Well, this explanation is good, it is worthy of Su Xiaoyou.
As a result, Tie Dan asked again: "My mother's foot is broken, why did my father put my mother down?" ”
At this time, Yang Yi and Thirteen Niang looked at each other and were speechless.
