According to the rules of the Han people, the third day after the sacrifice is the day of the family tomb sacrifice, after the tomb sacrifice, the patriarch has to gather the members of the clan, relatives, and guests to hold the largest gathering of the year.And the foliage Huo family's feast, the battle that caused the whole Shang Guan can be heard.The core members of the Huo family must be here today: Huo Guang's son Huo Yu inherited his father's short stature, but he was the core of the banquet, he was the successor of the huge Huo family, and commanded the Hu cavalry and Yue cavalry stationed around Chang'an.Huo Guang's nephew Huo Yun is also a lieutenant general, and Huo Yun's younger brother Huo Shan served as a lieutenant of the Che Du, and it is rumored that the general intends to make these two people the heirs of his brother Huo Quai.Among Huo Guang's three sons-in-law, the second son-in-law Fan Mingyou is the general of Jiuqing and Duliao, who controls the military power, and the third son-in-law Ren Sheng is the guard captain of the East and West Palaces, firmly controlling the armed forces in the forbidden and provincial areas, and preventing anyone who dares to follow Sang Hongyang and Shangguan to launch a coup d'état.They can all meet the emperor regularly, and as for all kinds of relatives in the corners and corners, they also serve as doctors, cavalry captains, and ministers of the nine official offices.The party's relatives are conjoined and are based on the imperial court.As the fourth son-in-law of the Huo family, Jin Xian was a prince and a favored minister of the emperor at a young age, and his dignity was more than 2,000 stones, but in the Huo family, he was not very well treated.Yes, after all, the general has tilted his power into the government and the opposition, and there is no need to use the Jin family anymore.Every year in the lunar month, the golden reward has to accompany the smiling face and his wife to the Huo family, and his wife directly provoked him on the night after getting married: "The Jin Huns also, why bother to follow the example, learn what the Han people do to do clan sacrifices, a few days before and after the wax day every year, we must go back to Huo's house!"
”While letting the "foreigner" recognize her identity, the four ladies of the Huo family, who think highly of themselves, said that she attaches great importance to filial piety: "Mother and daughter, if we don't go back in any year, she will be sad." ”Jin Xian could only dare to be angry but didn't dare to speak, but every time he reluctantly came to Huo's house for a while, he couldn't help but think of that incident.At that time, Jinshang had just ascended the throne, and several ministers of the auxiliary government were not crowned marquis, only a "testament" called Huo Guang and Jin Riyan, and Shangguan Ji was rewarded for killing Ma Heluo and Ma Tong for making trouble.But in fact, this matter has nothing to do with Huo and Shangguan, and the biggest hero is Jin Ilyan, who risked his life to fight the assassins.Jin Riyan repeatedly resigned from the position of the marquis, if he did not accept it, how could the generals Huo Guang and Shangguan Ji be embarrassed to take the throne?
As a last resort, before Jin Riyan died, he forcibly came to the door and gave him a seal.The Jin family was silent about the farce that happened in his house that day, but some people saw that Wang Hu, the son of Wang Mang, the guard at that time, was the squire of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.However, the other generation pretended to pass on the edict to promise wealth and wealth. ”These words were like a stone stirring up a thousand waves, Huo Guang heard this, blamed Wang Mang, and Wang Mang poisoned Wang Hu, in exchange for the position of a right general in China and North Korea.From then on, whenever Jin Xian was dissatisfied with his powerful wife and foreign family, he would carefully recall the incident, then touch his neck, and turn to put on a smiling face at those hateful Huo relatives.Jin Xian neither has the same ambition as Shangguan An, nor does he want to be the second king.And every time this kind of occasion happens, the biggest reward is his mother-in-law.Lijiyun: Men don't say anything inside, women don't say anything outside.Although the general Huo Guang didn't believe in Confucianism, the affairs of the Huo family were indeed arranged by his wife.It is said that Xian's background is not high, but it is a small family in Hedong, and her appearance is not outstanding, but for some reason, the general who has always been a bad woman loves her alone, and he does not even marry a concubine, and has a son and five daughters.There is a ballad in the court that cannot be spread outside: "Her name is Mrs.
Huo, but she is actually the queen mother!"
”After all, this Mrs.
Huo was able to put her hand into the palace to help her granddaughter Empress Shangguan take care of the affairs of the harem, and asked Empress Zhan Shi to give underwear to all the women in the palace under the pretext that the emperor was not feeling well and should not approach women.In addition to liking to take care of things, Mrs.
Huo also has a strong sense of vanity and is very pompous, and Jin Xian found that she has made the Lahou clan gathering bigger and bigger, and the luxury is more than the palace banquet.In the largest hall of Huo Mansion, there is a gilt lacquerware case in the center, the case is painted with a lying deer herbivore pattern, and there are four horse-legged gold-inlaid case legs under it, the image is realistic, and the value may exceed 100 gold, which will be the dining table where Huo Guang and Xian sit.However, at the moment, Huo Guang has not yet arrived, probably busy with government affairs in the study, the general only has state affairs in his heart, no family affairs, and the clan gatherings in previous years are always absent-minded.The rest of the children's sons-in-law, grandchildren's and nephews' desks are gilded silver, and the food utensils include ding, gui, bowls, plates, respects, cups, spoons, etc., all of which are fine lacquerware, and the color of gold and silver Zhu Xuan, which represents wealth and wealth, fills every corner of the hall.Before the dishes were served, the entertainment project began in the hall, where the dwarfs and advocates wandered around, performing hundreds of operas: there were big bird operas, leopard operas and Yanman operas; There are also flying sword jumping pills, seven-disc dances, and top pole plays.Songs and dances are accompanied by a band, and the musicians are guided by the drums, beating the drums and hitting the bells, beating the pipes, and playing the flute.Xian wore a gorgeous dress today, specially with high temples, and the four adult daughters gathered around her, chattering, especially the wife of the gold reward was the most eyebrows dancing, and the gold reward didn't need to come over to know what they were talking about."
Watching these old dramas every year is like eating the same dish every day, and you are tired of watching it."
Xian suddenly yawned and said: "Isn't the Western Regions now restored, when the first emperor rested, the Dawan countries sent envoys to follow to Chang'an, and dedicated the big bird eggs and plough Xuan dazzling people to the Son of Heaven."
I heard that those dazzling people will also play a hundred plays, there are swallowing knives, spitting fire, planting melons and planting trees, self-supporting, self-binding and self-free, easy cattle and horse heads, slaughtering people and cutting horses, etc., I have seen it once in the past, unforgettable, and next year I will also ask the messenger to get some?
”Fan Mingyou's wife was as ignorant as her husband, and said: "Mother, my beloved family said that the Western Regions are full of desert and snow-capped mountains, and even the so-called Great Qin is a story made up by Fu Jiezi and Ren Hongyu to deceive the world. ”The wife of the golden reward secretly said that the second sister didn't understand her mother's thoughts, and retorted: "Otherwise, hasn't a lot of spices been introduced into the Western Regions recently, I see that Chang'an Shifang has begun to eat Hu cakes, and the cumin spices of the Hou family in Xi'an are even more difficult to find." ”The only thing that is quiet is the eldest daughter of the Huo family, after all, she has experienced the Shangguan family from the peak to the extinction, looking at the prosperity of the Huo Mansion today, it is like a world away, but for the sake of the queen Shangguan in the palace, she also has to interject to make her mother happy: "I heard that the cumin in the Xi'an Hou Mansion is running out, and now the people who go to his house for a banquet say that they don't let go of the meat when they burn it, and the queen also wants to taste it after hearing about it, but after the imperial chef in the palace tastes it, it can't be made, and it seems that you can only eat it when you go home." ”The daughters' words were very useful, and they patted the eldest daughter's hand and said: "If the queen wants to go back, she can come at any time, there are two walls in the monk crown of Weiyang Palace, but the old woman is old, and she can't move her legs in the cold recently, so she can't often enter the palace to ask her for peace." ”Changle Weiwei Ren Sheng's wife, the third daughter of the Huo family said with a smile: "The queen must also be thinking about her mother all the time, no, I heard that the Huo family banquet specially asked the Taiguan Garden under the Shaofu to send out the onions and leeks planted in the greenhouse in winter." ”Said meaningfully: "The greenhouse vegetable garden of Taiguan Garden is covered with a roof, burning a fire day and night, and when the temperature is born, I also want to build one in the manor near Chang'an, but the general will not let it, saying that this thing is only suitable for the royal family, and it cannot be trespassed." ”The eldest daughter of the Huo family hurriedly said: "Mother is the grandmother of the county official and the queen, the Han rules the world with filial piety, and as a grandson, if there is a good thing, you must first honor the elders, how can you say that you are arrogant?"
When spring begins, let the master repair!
”After more than ten years of Huo Guang's dictatorship, they really regard the world as their home."
You can't alarm the master craftsman."
Xian shook his head and said, "You have to hide it from your father." ”After finishing speaking, he smiled himself, and at the same time patted his youngest daughter Cheng Jun's pink little face lovingly: "Cheng Jun doesn't have to play all day long, and he has time to go into the palace to accompany the queen, you are the same age." ”Huo Chengjun should have been coquettish on his mother's side, but he ran out to play in the snow with a few companions.Huo's eldest daughter looked at her back and only sighed secretly, her daughter was only one year older than Huo Chengjun, but she lived a completely different life.I even have to worry about the day when I dislike her surname Shangguan and replace Huo Chengjun with the queen!
With what she knew about her mother, this kind of thing would definitely be done.However, Xian's next sentence made the heart of the eldest daughter of the Huo family fall back into her stomach.The old mother's eyes turned red, and she sighed: "In the past, you and the others were not yet in time, and they were crowded in their hometown in Hedong to make noise, like a nest of spirit magpies, and I was still annoyed at that time.But in the blink of an eye, they are all wives, and the family will be deserted, and before long, my only remaining Chengjun may also marry someone else, and the old woman will have no one under her knees. ”"Cheng Jun Xu Ren?"
The four girls immediately looked at each other, surprised and surprised, and asked their mother which gentleman she had fallen in love with for Chengjun.Xian has forgotten the unhappiness brought to her by Liu De and Jun Budo, and she hasn't thought about it at all, she just thinks that her own Chengjun is more expensive than the princess, no matter who she gives it to, she is married, and the person who is favored must not be grateful, so she immediately sends someone to Nacai?
He smiled and said, "Of course, it's the young prince who has the most reputation in Chang'an recently!"
”"Father-in-law shouldn't listen to Fu Jiezi and Ren Hong's words, running Youzhou, attacking the Xiongnu from the left, driving them to the west, and keeping them away from the Han Dynasty is the right reward for the destruction of the Xiongnu, what do you think?""
What General Du Liao said is reasonable!"
The women talked about family life, and the men talked about government affairs and state affairs, and Pham Minh Huu still remembered his leftist strategy, but when Jin Xian was asked by him, he only made promises, and he didn't even want to drink more, for fear that he would drink too much and lose his temper and say something he shouldn't say.When the hundred operas are almost watched, the dishes are also slowly sent up, the northwest dishes that have been popular in Chang'an recently are the main ones, these hot dishes are most suitable for winter to eat, the fragrant cumin skewers are also placed on everyone's table, and the rare dishes such as pork leek eggs, fried fish and liver, sheep and chicken cold, lamb bean dumplings, white abalone and sweet gourd, hot beam and broiled are also available.There are also rare vegetables in winter, although the taste is not as good as summer and autumn seasonal vegetables and fruits, but they are rare!
But Jin Xian found that until this time, his father-in-law Huo Guang still did not show up.Xian also shared with his daughters the marriage of the fifth daughter, and seeing that the dishes were ready, he took his mind back from the greenhouse where vegetables could be grown in winter, called the family, and complained: "Today is a family banquet, and the military affairs are busy to this extent?"
He had to show his face so that his children, grandchildren, and sons-in-law could give him a glass of wine. ”The family bowed down and said: "Madam, there is only a guest to visit, the general will see him, and he will be there later." ”Xian immediately became alert: "Guest?
Although there is a long queue outside my house every year before and after the wax day, but today is the third day of the wax day, the clans gather, if there is no major event, who will pick today to visit the New Year?
There are not many people in this world who can let the general receive him in person regardless of the banquet, could it be that His Majesty is there in person?
”In the conspicuous eye, except for the little emperor who is always sick and can't give birth to an heir with her grandchild, even if it is Zhang Anshi, the second person in the court, there is no reason for Huo Guang to delay the family banquet.There was no way to hide such a big event, so Jia Cheng had to say in Xian's ear: "It's Xi'an Hou Renhong who is here!"
”PS: It's still stuck for a day, and today I broke my promise, and I'm trying to make up for the hole I owe before the New Year, I'm sorry.
