Chapter 116 Reading
To avoid taboo, Doudizhu is not called Doudizhu, but Doupai.One dragon can no longer be called Dashun.Bombing is also very strange to say, it's not a taboo, but no one understands what a bomb is, and it can only be interpreted as a frying pan.
JQKA had to use a few symbols in Suzhou code instead.
It was Jia Yuanchun who was called by the queen at random. This is, a little embarrassing.
On the wide and long warm table, the small table separated the queen and Daiyu, while Jia Yuanchun stood on the ground.This is not just a status restriction, but also the Queen's deliberate intention. She used the pretext of drawing cards to carefully examine this woman's appearance. She was born with a round pearl and good features, and she was not a stunning beauty. I want to enter the palace to be a female historian.
Daiyu asked, "Sister-in-law, how's your appetite recently?"
The queen lazily said: "The appetite has not changed from usual, but the taste is always too bland." She made a straight.
Daiyu ate her Shunzi unceremoniously: "It's okay to eat something salty, it's really appetizing." She thought about it, three belts one.
The queen waved her hand and signaled: "I want to eat extremely sour and extremely spicy food, but I am afraid of hurting my body, so I dare not eat more." Sour enters the liver, bitterness enters the heart, sweetness enters the spleen, pungent enters the lungs, and salty enters the kidneys.Harmonization of the five flavors is good for health preservation, but too much is not enough. Once the taste is too strong, it will hurt the five internal organs.
Daiyu looked at her white and delicate face and wrists, and suddenly remembered, could it be that the queen eats carefully and her five internal organs are healthy, so her complexion is white and delicate, while my master eats and drinks all day long, the taste is very strong, which hurts the liver, so Bad skin tone?
It seems to say,,, dark skin is bad kidney?
I can't remember these things either, and I was reading books when I went back. Oh, why are there so many books to read!
Time flies like water, and I played six games without knowing it, and the seventh game is in progress. The score between the two sides is 3:3, and another contestant, Jia Yuanchun, scored: 0!
The queen stroked the cards, but found that her hand was not good, she swung her body and leaned towards Daiyu: "What do you have?"
Although Daiyu was distracted, she was able to react, and quickly hid the card in her arms: "Don't look at it."
"It's okay to read it." The queen dusted the cork in her hand: "Oh, my hand is too bad, I will definitely not win." Jia Yuanchun and Jia Yuanchun who had a pair of 5: "The cards in Jia Nushi's hand should not be bad, why is it so late to play the cards?"
Jia Yuanchun took a step back, knelt down and said: "Your Majesty is tolerant, the status of maids and concubines is low, so I dare not offend Your Majesty."
Do you feel a lot of pressure playing poker with you?If you win, you will feel revenge. If you don’t win, you think I’m waterproof.I am not like this princess Xuanzhen who can say anything and do anything.
Tsk, people are different, their origins are almost the same, and their circumstances are very different.
Daiyu heard her words were stinging, and gave her a faint look, feeling bored.It's hard for her to say anything, after all, in terms of blood relationship, this is a cousin, and it's hard to say anything when there is a relationship.If the Queen felt that she was asking for a reward for this cousin, it would make her sad. If she said it too coldly and heartlessly, it would appear that she was snobbish and did not recognize her relatives.
The queen smiled lightly, and patted her hand, without looking up at her: "Oh, low status, hehehe, do you want to eat three belts and one?"
Daiyu said: "...Eat it?" Three 3s and one 3. If you don't eat it, you will be in a panic. No wonder she said that her cards are not good.
The queen stroked the cards again, and waved her hand to signal her to pass.He said to Jia Yuanchun: "You have served me for a long time, and you have worked hard without merit. Since you despise your low status, then I will confer on you as a noble concubine. You are originally a Shangshu, and you will be named Fengzao Palace Shangshu. , Daiyu, I will fight with you."
Jia Yuanchun continued to be in a daze, sluggish as if disconnected.
Daiyu was also stunned: "Oh?? I'm sorry." Empress, what do you mean?What's wrong?Why is it like venting anger? ?Can this noble concubine be sealed casually?I don't know if it's possible, but the reason for the promotion is too joke, right?
The queen glanced at her, and smiled unhappily: "Yuanchun, why don't you talk, do you think this is low-grade?"
Jia Yuanchun's legs softened and he almost sat down, and quickly knelt up straight: "Don't dare, no, don't dare. Where did the empress come from? Serving the empress is Yuan Chun's duty, how dare you?" If he wanted to decline, he was afraid that the queen would take the opportunity to withdraw If it is fate, then she will not get what she has longed for.
Seeing Jia Yuanchun's advance and retreat, female officer Zhaorong couldn't take a look at it: "Ms. Jia, why don't you kowtow to thank you?" In fact, when she learned the news yesterday, she was as shocked as Jia Yuanchun.
Jia Yuanchun kowtowed to thank him in a muddleheaded way, as if he was sleepwalking and was helped out, and was sent to Fengzao Palace in a phoenix chariot.
Then there was Zhaorong female official drafting the decree, passing on the harem, sending people to inform the emperor, sending the imperial concubine's belongings, eunuchs going to Jia's house to deliver the decree, and so on, so there is no need to go into details.
Daiyu was very curious: "Sister-in-law, what's going on? What do you mean? Why did you suddenly make her a noble concubine?"
The queen lazily threw the cards on the table: "The emperor asked me to make her whatever I want, just make her a noble concubine, so as to avoid the trouble of being promoted step by step in the future."
Daiyu couldn't help scratching her head: "Why?" What she didn't feel embarrassed to ask was that all concubines are concubines, the emperor's concubine, how can a concubine please his wife instead of the master?If my father's little wives tried their best to please my mother, my mother would vomit blood instead.And today's matter, no matter how you look at it, you can't see how she is trying to please you.I have read that all the concubines who competed for favor in history were to please the emperor, how could there be a concubine conferred by the queen.
The queen covered her mouth lazily and yawned: "Prince Teng. He was first appointed as the governor of the Beijing camp, and later he was promoted to the control of the nine provinces. He was ordered to check the frontiers. The emperor asked Yuan Chun for a grade. How could such an important minister be so easy?" Refuted his face. Don't you understand? Although a big family like the Wang family is now dying and has no successors, there can't be an old girl who has served people in the palace for several years and was finally released from the palace. A concubine, in the old death palace, is also an honor."
Wang Ziteng has a close relationship with King Bei Jing, and he is also a courtier who is secretly relied on by the Supreme Emperor. The Emperor wants to keep him steady and take care of him slowly.Wang Ziteng just wanted to save face. As for whether Jia Yuanchun was slept by the emperor, he didn't care, and he didn't dare to inquire.
Daiyu asked: "What is the relationship between the Jia family girl and Wang Ziteng?"
Queen: "Prince Teng is Jia Yuanchun's uncle."
"Oh." Daiyu was stunned, unable to comment on this matter, but she still asked: "Isn't it strange that the emperor is still in the Taimiao, and there is a noble concubine in the palace?"
The queen took a sip of tea with a smile: "You are so young, why are you meddling in so much business?"
No one would go back and care about so much, most of them would think that the emperor thought of Jia Yuanchun in the Taimiao and made her a concubine, or that he had already prepared to be conferred in the Jin Dynasty and only made her concubine today.
Daiyu thought for a while, and she was right, so she left silently and went back to her room to read a book.
Going back to the house, she found that Hong Tao was no longer there, and she was served by the other two maids around the empress.Or was she involved in the spider case?
Why so many spiders lately?The one who appeared in the queen's painting and calligraphy box was a spider, and the red lady after that was a spider again. What is the relationship between them?Is Brother Saburo really studying hard?It's strange that you don't come to see me or write to me.
…………
Qin Zhongyu was very unhappy working in the Ministry of Punishment. He didn't have to go to the prison to interrogate the prisoners himself, he only needed to read the files and confessions.But even so, the intrigues of many officials of the Ministry of Punishment, as well as the inhumane and inhuman confessions written in many ancient files are chilling and creepy.
So much so that he had to drink a little wine and read a chapter of a novel every time he worked to warm his heart.
Qin Zhongyu said with emotion: "The reality is so cruel, only the world and people in the novel can be heroic and righteous, open and aboveboard, and distinguish between love and hate."
Recently, he was reviewing all the dusty testimony about the murder of General Wen Tongming. He saw that father and son turned against each other, brothers became enemies, cliques betrayed each other, and like-minded brothers parted ways.
Qin Zhongyu cried out sadly: "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh how could this happen?"
Bring this case to justice, and then I will resign. If I am not allowed to go to Yushitai to continue to be the censor, I will resign and quit!
I'm not an official, woo woo woo!Officialdom is dark!The sun and the moon are dark!
He was so sad that he had to stand up and walk around, and saw a copy of "The Righteousness of Heaven and Earth" with a bookmark on the desk of a colleague.He has never read this book, and now he continues to use some righteous things to soothe his wounded heart, so he picks it up and reads it.
Step □□, the appendix is narrow.Watch out for people, often frightened.The thorns grab the hairpin on the skirt and flash backwards on the tea stand.Seduce the twigs to babble, ask for the way back, look for the empty gap, and be drawn into the window screen by the nest nest of the old house. ——Qin Zhongyu widened his eyes, isn't this the legendary uncle?You actually read this kind of book at work, no, no, no, you actually wrapped a book cover and wrote such a title?Shameless!
When I was at work, I didn't dare to read the little yellow books, but only read martial arts novels.He put down the book indignantly, returned to the original state, and went back to the house to continue working.It is really difficult to get the testimony you need early from the vast sea of files, and you have to do it.
An hour later, Qin Zhongyu cried out in fright: "Ah!"
He secretly copied this passage, put it away carefully, put down his pen and looked around in a daze, not knowing what to do.
After get off work, colleagues either go out to meet friends, drink flowers and wine, or invite colleagues to their homes as guests.
Qin Zhongyu traveled alone in a small sedan chair, and when he arrived at the Zhuo Mansion, he met Xiang Baozi as he wished.
Xiang Baozi lost weight for several days, and found a large scale for weighing rice and noodles to weigh it repeatedly. These days, he has lost five catties!Although it can't be seen from the face and body, but the weighing mound said so, the weighing mound will not lie.
Seeing Qin Zhongyu coming, she was very happy, and set up a banquet to entertain him. If she loses five catties, she can eat a big meal~
Qin Zhongyu drank a few cups of wine, hesitated to speak several times: "Miss Xiang...you've lost weight."
Xiang Baozi held his face happily: "Yes~ The world regards slim and slim as beautiful, I give in~" Is it so obvious that you are thin?
Qin Zhongyu drank another glass of wine to strengthen his courage: "Miss Xiang, you, what new work do you have recently?"
"No." Xiang Baozi was embarrassed, and drank a glass of wine: "I want to concentrate on modifying my body."
"That's good." Qin Zhongyu was absent-minded, licking his lips and hesitating for a long time: "Your master, is she there?"
Xiang Baozi said: "I don't know, do you want to see her? Ask someone to ask." She ordered the servant outside the gate to pass on the message.
Qin Zhongyu asked again: "Why don't you see Miss Peony?"
"Senior Sister is bored in the capital, so she went out for a walk."
Qin Zhongyu was surprised and envious: "So carefree?" Come on a casual trip at any time?
Xiang Baozi smiled: "People in the Jianghu live everywhere, and the whereabouts of senior sisters are often erratic."
She could see that Ajaan was quite envious of this kind of life, thinking that the officials in the middle of the capital could go to the outskirts of Beijing for an outing at the farthest, and it was really frustrating.Therefore, there is no need to talk about those buttocks that were smashed into eight petals on the road, and those who ate dirt with their mouths open all the way out.
Qin Zhongyu said: "What about you? Do you want to go far away?"
"I won't go. It's too cold outside in winter. I want Maodong. I'll sleep warmly throughout the winter, and I'll go out again next spring."
Qin Zhongyu nodded, and took a few more mouthfuls of food: "I saw it at the Ministry of Punishments,,, I saw someone reading miscellaneous books while on duty, which is something that gentlemen despise."
Xiang Baozi's eyes lit up: "An ugly book?"
Qin Zhongyu blushed and nodded shyly: "Yes. It's indescribable."
Xiang Baozi was so excited that he wanted to laugh, but quickly controlled his emotions: "Is the work of the Criminal Department so boring?"
Qin Zhongyu vomited bitterness, said a lot of what was in his heart, and concluded: "Although it is not boring, it makes people feel uncomfortable. Not only do they read that kind of book, but I also read novels. Otherwise, it is hard to live."
Xiang Baozi was about to speak when the boy came back: "Report to Miss Xiang, Madam has gone out."
"Understood." Xiang Baozi dismissed the boy, and came back with a laugh: "My master has something to go out. Then, these novels are very useful. I thought that novelists are just things to pass the boring time. They are very good." Not on the stage."
Qin Zhongyu was relieved: "Miss Xiang, what did you say? The Romance of the Three Kingdoms is also a novelist's story. Now many people don't even remember the official history of the Three Kingdoms, but only remember the stories in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. I often confuse the Romance of the Three Kingdoms when I write articles when I am studying. And the allusions of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, I was often taught by my master. I didn’t understand it at the time, but now it seems that the two books have very different styles. I really don't understand how it got mixed up at the time."
Xiang Baozi chuckled: "It's not difficult for those who meet, but not for those who are difficult. When I first started writing novels, I wrote a lot of nonsense. After I finished writing yesterday, I put them away triumphantly. When I woke up the next day, I was full of them." This piece of bullshit doesn't make sense."
"Miss Xiang is too modest, your story is wonderfully written, and the characters are vivid and flexible." Qin Zhongyu smiled wryly as he played with his cup: "Life is short, there are too many embarrassing things, and there are too many facts of being deceived, only the stories made up in novels It's comforting."
Xiang Baozi hesitated for a moment: "You were worried when you came here, and you have been hesitant to talk all the time. What's the matter?"
"It's nothing." Qin Zhongyu sighed, "Miss Xiang, tell me about Fourth Sister Wen's life experience, okay?"
…………
Fourth Sister Wen clattered and filled the table with the food box: "Hey, in the world, it's either two men robbing a woman, or two women robbing a man. Brother Zhuo, hello, No one dares to pursue you except me." It makes people feel safe.
Zhuo Donglai paused: "Ze Lan, you came to me and you just wanted to talk about this? Who stole who?" I was so innocent, I thought you missed me, and came to bring me food and make out with each other, but it turned out that you came to complain again .
Fourth Sister Wen stuffed the chopsticks into his hand, sat down and looked up and laughed loudly: "Ahahahaha, I heard a very funny story, it's boring to you, so I won't tell you. Eat it, eat it recently. How are you? When can I go home?"
"Miss me?"
"Yeah~ bro~ I miss you so much~"
"Don't worry, now that all these messy things are done, I can go home and rest for a while, and stay with you well."
Fourth Sister Wen nodded: "That's good. The cousins and the two of them said that they plan to leave for home, and they have to go back to their hometown before the Chinese New Year."
"Well, set a date for departure, and I'll see them off." Zhuo Donglai asked, "Did they treat you well when you were young?"
Fourth Sister Wen: "Uh? Why did brother ask such a question?"
"If they treat you well, I intend to give them a fortune. Your nephew seems to be interested in officialdom. The capital is rich and charming."
Fourth Sister Wen frowned deeply: "I don't understand these things. My nephew is not stupid, and he is hardworking, but it is not the material for martial arts. Speaking of it, my family is really interesting. Wen Tongming was a general at the border. He My brother became a landlord in his hometown, and he didn't flaunt that he has such an outstanding brother. If they want to make a fuss, I have nowhere to go. What did he do that he shouldn't do?"
Zhuo Donglai nodded slightly: "The Wen family has a very good family style, and the brothers seem to be very harmonious. I intend to support your natal nephew. I will be a small official first and gradually seek promotion. What do you think?"
Fourth Sister Wen was stunned: "Although my nephew is smart, he is not a material for studying, and he failed the Jinshi exam. Can twice-cooked pork be made?"
Zhuo Donglai: "Your culinary skills have always been very good. Your nephew failed the Jinshi exam. I have a way to let him pass the exam, or give him a Jinshi background. It is not difficult. The emperor suddenly wanted to know about Chao Zhongxun's family who sold officials. The price and the efficiency of handling things, let me pick someone to buy an official for him, don't make it cheap for outsiders."
Fourth Sister Wen frowned: "Being an official is not easy."
Zhuo Donglai smiled: "Ze Lan, of all things in the world, which one is easy to do?"
"That's right. Brother, it's up to you. I don't understand these things." Fourth Sister Wen sighed, "I didn't think I was stupid at first, but I read a lot of books in the past two days, and I feel so stupid."
Zhuo Donglai said softly: "The vertical and horizontal maneuvers in "Guiguzi" are still used for thousands of years, and "Warring States Policy" has written the top strategies for hundreds of years. Not only do you think you are stupid, but even I feel ashamed."
Fourth Sister Wen was very satisfied after being appeased: "Really? Brother, you are so smart and predict things like a god, how can you feel ashamed?"
Zhuo Donglai said indifferently: "What I plan is just some trivial matters, to control the eagles and dogs for the emperor to spy on the world's intelligence, and the counselors in the Warring States strategy can obtain the city and land for the lord. It can not only persuade the king to save the country, but also arouse the lips and tongue. Destroy a clan. The ruler of the world, Zhou Tianzi, is just a puppet, and a sage like Kong Qiu is also panicked like a bereaved dog,,, don’t use the hidden dragon, and the dragon has no leader.”
Fourth Sister Wen didn't quite understand: "Brother thinks he was born at the wrong time?"
"A capable person doesn't say that he was born at the wrong time. Ah Man is a capable minister in the world and a traitor in troubled times. Am I not?"
Fourth Sister Wen’s face turned pale. Although she was ignorant, she was familiar with the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and knew that Ah Man finally usurped power. Oh, I remembered wrongly, Ah Man’s son usurped the Han. "Brother, have you drunk too much? My son told me to be cautious, don't talk nonsense."
"I didn't drink. Could it be that this comment is not pertinent, that I am not a good minister? Not qualified to be a traitor?" Zhuo Donglai put down his chopsticks, pulled her into his arms, and hugged her tightly: "I have my own measure."
I know, the maid who served you said that you would sigh and sleep at night, and you must be worried that I would follow the old path of my father-in-law.
My father-in-law is loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and guards the border for the people, but I do things for my own ambition, which is different.
Fourth Sister Wen sighed softly: "I'm just a little worried. Since ancient times, loyal ministers have not ended well, and few treacherous officials have ended well. Sigh."
Daiyu asked me why I entered the rivers and lakes. At first, I wanted to say that the situation in the world was out of my generation, but then I remembered that people in the rivers and lakes are well-informed. No matter what happens, I can run away. Die by neck.I have a knife alone, and no one can catch me from the south of the Yangtze River to the desert.It's not safe to settle down now, have a home, and have children.
Zhuo Donglai said softly: "Ze Lan, don't be afraid. In history, there were important ministers who were relied on by the emperor, and there were also capable ministers who survived several dynasties. Yes. It depends on human effort. Don’t be afraid. It’s all about people’s hearts. Is it true that the people in the Jianghu are cleaner than the people in the court? It’s just that people in the Jianghu draw their swords and cut them off when they disagree with each other. It is suspected that the party disputes in the court are very involved, and the family is frequently ransacked and destroyed, isn't it like this in the world?"
Fourth Sister Wen nodded sullenly: "You are right."
"You have experience in the world, you know how to use tricks in the world, and you feel comfortable and unrestrained in the world. But you feel scared now because you don't know the ways in the officialdom. When you learn it, you won't worry anymore, but you will find it very interesting. "
Fourth Sister Wen sighed, "Brother, I feel a little scared, because you scared me."
Zhuo Donglai was a little puzzled: "Me? When I reasoned with you last time, was it fierce?"
"It's not fierce, it's just scary."
…………
In the Taimiao, the emperor and Yao Sanlang sat opposite each other and read books.
Yes, although the emperor was so exhausted writing memorials every day and only wanted to be lazy, he still insisted on reading every day.He read the book for a while, and finally couldn't help it: "Sanlang, you study hard every day, and you are almost hanging on your ass. Why? Although I gave you the salary of a second-rank civil servant, I never asked you to have the knowledge of a second-rank civil servant." .”
Yao Sanlang put down the Zizhi Tongjian in his hand: "Your Majesty, when did you give me a salary? I still owe Sister Lin money."
The emperor rubbed his chin. He found Yao Sanlang asking for salary very interesting, and smiled maliciously: "How much do you owe her?"
"390 eight taels. I owe it for playing cards."
"Oh~" The emperor smiled even more happily: "How much interest?"
"what?"
The emperor gave him a popular science on the loan interest limit stipulated by the national law, and calculated it kindly. The interest rate ranges from ten taels to forty taels every month.
Yao Sanlang smiled lightly: "No money, what should I do?"
The emperor smiled: "No money? Take someone to pay off the debt."
The two laughed, and when Yao Sanlang was looking forward to repaying the debt with himself, the emperor asked him why he was studying.
Yao Sanlang said righteously: "I heard that I have a poetic and scholarly spirit in my stomach. I don't think I'm good-looking enough. I have to work hard."
I feel that this lie is too in the style of senior brother Zishu, and it is very unbelievable: "Sister Lin Yunwen Yunwu, I can't be worse than her. When the time comes, she will quote scriptures and talk about historical allusions. I don't know. How embarrassing."
The emperor took it very seriously: "Do you think I like reading books? It's not that there are officials outside and queens inside, and everyone likes to use the past to satirize the present. If I don't know the past, I won't know it when they satirize me." But the queen was very happy. I like to praise me with ancient allusions~
Yao Sanlang sighed: "My elder brother is a versatile man in both civil and military affairs. He is an insurmountable mountain. His knowledge is so deep that it is no problem to refute the entire Imperial Academy. No matter how hard I try to read, I can't reach his level of knowledge. memorized level."
The emperor was very curious: "Ordinary literati are not strong enough, how good is his martial arts?"
Donglai also told me that every day: he works for seven hours, studies for one hour, and practices martial arts for one hour, and he has no time to hug his wife.
Yao Sanlang mourned deeply: "He is Chi You's own younger brother, he beat me like a joke."
The emperor was a little surprised: "Having such a good teacher to teach you, Saburo, what else are you dissatisfied with?"
Yao Sanlang curled his lips: "Sister Lin hopes that I can be like the big brother."
No, she doesn't want me to be like senior brother Chi Xiu, she likes senior brother Chi Xiu very much, only by becoming as strong as senior brother can I win the hearts of beauties.Reading and reading, practicing martial arts, practicing Qi, learning 72 changes, learning various spells, making up all the handwriting of the master, even if you are tired, you must persist!
Think about how Daiyu looked at the elder brother with watery eyes full of admiration, and how she looked at me with contempt and helplessness, I am so tired, Yao Yunqi, how dare you feel tired!are you a pig?
The emperor was going to rest for a while, lying down and eating spiced broad beans: "Ka bang bang, Sanlang, you must persevere in everything, and learning is not easy, so don't worry too much. Your senior brother has learned like that. I don’t know how long it took. Crappy”
Yao Sanlang sighed deeply: "Time does not wait for me, time does not wait for me!"
The emperor was caught laughing, and almost rolled on the ground laughing. Yao Shenxian's appearance of studying hard to win his wife is so funny.
The author has something to say: Yes, Jia Yuanchun was made a noble concubine. I have thought about it for a long time. If a girl from such a family has been a female historian in the palace for several years, she will be sent out of the palace, as if the family loses face.I want to look at historical cases, but in history, they were sent directly to the palace as concubines, and there were no daughters of big families as female historians.As for the girl's own happiness, hehehe, which girl in Dream of the Red Chamber is happy?The political relationship between Jia Yuanchun and Wang Ziteng BLABLA...
What did Ajaan see?In fact, the previous article hinted~
