The old woman who sold the double-headed lotus widened her eyes: Chunming, have you been promoted?
Ji Chunming was embarrassed again, and with a bit of pride that could not be concealed, he explained with his hands dancing.As soon as he saw him, Jin Yi suddenly felt that a lot of depression in his chest temporarily dissipated, and he couldn't help but laugh with the old woman.The old woman He Ji Chunming was promoted to the secretary of the criminal department and gave him a few double-headed lotuses.This double-headed lotus is a common item in Liangjing Tanabata, and farmers pick unopened lotus buds in the fields and connect them with thin straw ropes or slices to make the appearance of lotus flowers, which is extremely popular.Ji Chunming hugged a large cluster of lotus flowers, causing acquaintances on the road to cover their mouths and chuckle.The scholar's skin was as thin as paper, and he turned his head and hurriedly stuffed the double-headed lotus into Jin Yi's arms.Chen Shuang bought two pairs of cute grinding and drinking music on the street, one pair was given to Jin Yi, and the other was kept for himself.He took the half-opened lotus flower that was still dewy in Jin Yi's arms: Who is Da Si Kou going to buy the double-headed lotus?
Wei Shaoqing?
Ji Chunming's face changed slightly, and he scratched his head: Just buy it and take a look at it.The three of them walked down the street and watched.The streets of Liangjing Qixi Festival are very lively, selling the small Buddha of grinding and drinking, selling yellow wax mandarin ducks, selling grain boards, fruit food generals, planting and living, everything.Hongling also went to the market, white and sweet, and papaya, golden peaches, pears, and melons were placed together.Chen Shuang bargained hard, was handsome and had a sweet mouth, and the eldest sister who sold fruits and melons was so amused that she gave him a lot of things for no reason.Jin Yi and Ji Chunming were eating lychee paste on the side, and when Chen Shuang came back, he happened to see Jin Yi pricking up his ears to listen to the people next to him chatting.Those people are talking about the marriage between Wei Yan, Shaoqing of Changlu Temple, and the second daughter of Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites.Ji Chunming's face was not good-looking, but Jin Yi brushed his sleeves away if he was not good here, so he had to fidget silently.Jin Yi got up and said: This lychee paste doesn't taste good, let's go.After speaking, he led Ji Chunming and left, leaving all kinds of words far behind.He and Chen Shuang kept sending Ji Chunming home, and Ji Chunming chatted with Jin Yi about a lot of things that happened in Liang Jing along the way.Needless to say, Wei Yan's marriage is needless to say, but the biggest thing in the court is that Emperor Renzheng fainted several times, and now he can't go to the court.Ji Chunming was promoted to the secretary of the Criminal Department, and Emperor Renzheng's illness was clear to at least six adults.His health deteriorated, and everyone had a sense of anxiety in their hearts.After the death of Prince Dayu, the heir was vacant, and almost everyone in the court thought that Cen Rong was the best candidate, but Emperor Renzheng was reluctant to issue an edict to canonize him.And after the latest fainting, when Emperor Renzheng woke up, he clearly saw Cen Rong and Concubine Hui in front of him, he grabbed Cen Rong's hands, but shouted Xu'er.Soon, Youying rode a fast horse and set off from Liangjing to Fenghu City.It is rumored that Emperor Renzheng missed the fifth prince Cen Xuan and couldn't wait to meet him.The situation in the DPRK and China has changed abruptly, and everyone is aware that Cen Rong's position as the crown prince may change.At this time, it happened that the military report of the Northwest Army came, Cen Xuan and his relatives went deep into Jinqiang alone, and after confronting General Xi, they retreated with their whole bodies, and brought back the map of Jinqiang outside Baique Pass.Emperor Renzheng, who was still on the sickbed, was happy and excited: This son has my style back then!
At this time, the southern border guards reported that there was a change in the southern border, and Song Huaizhang, the king of Guangren, was mobilizing troops to suppress it.Jin Yi was very surprised.He now finally understood why Cen Rong refused to open the Mu River floodway at that time.King Guangren was fighting for Cen Rong in the south at this time, and it was impossible for him to let the flood flood the land of King Guangren.As long as the southern border is still guarded by King Guangren, Cen Rong will have great dependence.Jin Yu said, it's just that I never thought that Cen Xuan would become his competitor.While talking, he walked, and in a blink of an eye, he had arrived at the door of Ji Chunming's shop.Second Sister Yao was watering the flowers at the door, and when she saw Jin Yi and Chen Shuang, she immediately rejoiced: I heard that Shen Shui was flooded, and I was worried about Chunming day and night, but fortunately you are fine.Jin Yi handed over the double-headed lotus to Ji Chunming, but Ji Chunming gave him a branch.And when the lotus opens, the luan edge comes.Ji Chunming said that today's Qixi Festival, when I went home, I soaked it in water, and it opened at night.Chen Shuang gave the Hongling she had just bought and her pair of grinding and drinking music to Second Sister Yao, and Second Sister Yao was surprised and delighted: Why do you even have me?
The second sister has such a character and appearance, no one gives a gift today?
Chen Shuang pretended to be surprised, and knew that she would move the entire Yinrong Street to see you off.He sent it casually, and he didn't mean anything else, plus he was often with Yue Lianlou, and he learned Yue Lianlou's verbal skills, and his words made Second Sister Yao's eyes shine.When the second sister Yao dressed up that night and invited Chen Shuang to go out to see the lights, Chen Shuang was stunned.The servant came to report: Chen Shuang was talking to a beautiful sister at the door, but she was at a loss, scratching her ears and scratching her head.Jin Yi rushed out to see the excitement on the spot, and when he saw the second sister Yao in new clothes, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.Second sister, you are so good-looking.He sincerely admired that a beautiful girl like you in Liangjing City couldn't find a second one in the whole city.Chen Shuang turned his head to look at Jin Yi, and there was a sentence hidden in his eyes: You also learned this skill from Yue Lianlou?
Jin Yi: If Chen Shuang doesn't go, I'll go with you.Second Sister Yao tilted her head slightly, covered her mouth with a delicate fan, and the beaded hairpin ring on her head trembled with her chuckle: You are also very good.But I just want to make an appointment with Chen Shuang today.She looked directly at Chen Shuang, and asked again without fear: Invite you to look at the lights, do you want to go?
Chen Shuang looked at Jin Yi again, which meant to ask him for help.Jin Yi: If you want to go, don't worry about me.Master Deng will come to me in a moment to bring me the latest volume of "Chivalrous Deeds", and I have many questions I want to ask him.Chen Shuang: That's not what I meant.J: Oh.You don't have to buy anything for me, you just have fun.He pushed Chen Shuang's shoulder, and Chen Shuang jumped down the steps in two steps and stood in front of Second Sister Yao.Second Sister Yao sighed and said: If you don't go, forget it, it's not the first time I've lost face.Chen Shuang hurriedly said: No, no, it's not that I don't go.I'll go back and prepare.Watching him run into the mansion, Second Sister Yao and Jin Yi snickered at each other.When Chen Shuang came out, Jin Yi and Second Sister Yao were taken aback: he actually changed his clothes.Usually Chen Shuang dresses very simply, but tonight she changed into a new outfit, like a young man.Jin Yi couldn't help laughing: Wow!
Chen Shuang and Second Sister Yao walked away side by side, and Jin Yi Lezi leaned against the door to watch.When Shen Deng came, he saw him talking to several children holding lotus leaves.Knowing that Chen Shuang actually went out with the girl, Shen Deng was surprised: This is too rare.Chen Shuang has been in Mingye Hall for ten years, and she hasn't had one or two sweethearts?
Jin Yi asked.According to Shen Deng, Chen Shuang has outstanding appearance and a very good temper, and there are more than one or two people who like him in the Ming Night Hall, both men and women, and there are naturally many people who take the initiative to show favor and confess secretly.Chen Shuang is sleek and flexible, not annoying, this kind of thing happens a lot, and occasionally goes out to eat and drink with others, but he has never seen any close contact with anyone.He didn't tell you about his past?
Shen Deng asked.Jin Yi: I said that.He was a native of Qiongzhou, and he crossed the sea with his mother to come to Dayu.Shen Deng: And where is his mother now?
What happened after crossing the sea and coming to Dayu, he didn't say anything?
Jin Yi couldn't help but be stunned: I thought he had joined the Ming Night Hall when he came to Da Yu.Shen Deng smiled slightly: Not so fast, there was at least six or seven years in between.If he wants to say it, he'll tell you.Jin Yi faintly remembered the past: What is the relationship between him and me?
Shen Deng: His relationship with you is related to this Liangjing City.I can't say any more, just wait, Chen Shuang, this kid is good at hiding things, but he is a good boy, much better than Yue Lianlou and Ruan Buqi you know.Shen Deng brought not only the latest volume of "Chivalrous Deeds", but also some thin books he usually wrote, all of which were strange stories.The Gu people in the south, the whale boat in Ruohai, the hibiscus flowers that have not withered for thousands of years in the Hibiscus Valley, the mysterious caves in the Xianmen Canyon, and so on.Jin Yi admired Shen Deng's travel and knowledge, and Shen Deng smiled: They are all places that I went to when I was young.When you go out, you know that the world is big, and the people in the rivers and lakes eat food and sleep in eight desolate beds, even then there are places that manpower can't reach.There are not so many things in the Ming Night Hall, Yue Lianlou and Ruan Buqi can play the role of Yin and Yang Erzhen, and I have to go out for a walk again.Behind Shen Deng, the two-headed lotus inserted in a white porcelain vase was slowly blooming.In the heavy lotus petals, a tender lotus heart is hidden.What's wrong?
Shen Deng asked.I miss someone so much.Jin Yi whispered, he, like you, also has the soul of longing to travel in all directions.Shen Deng nodded.He knew who Jin Yi was talking about.Want to see him?
Jin Yi closed his eyes.The fragrance of lotus flowers seems to be absent.Would like to.Jin Yi said, when I returned to Dayu, I was full of pain and calculation.Only when I think of him can I feel peace and happiness in my heart.It's just that I don't know when I can meet again, and every day before the reunion is a torment for me.At this time, in the distant Chiwang Plain, the deer head of the Blood Wolf Mountain was burning under the moon.In the tribal tent, Zhuo Zhuo lay in Zhu Ye's arms, trying his best to hear the child's voice from her slightly bulging belly: Why didn't my brother make a sound?
I don't know if it's my brother or sister, and I can't speak now.Zhu Ye thought about it, no, this doll is not your brother or sister.Helan Chuan listened for a while, worried: Zhuo Zhuo's mind, how can he be the queen of Gaoxin?
Helan Jinying laughed silently: Do you really plan to let her be?
Helan sulfone cleaned the rabbit fur: Of course, I am inappropriate, you are inappropriate, and she is left.Helan Jinying shook his head: There is no need for King Gaoxin.What is the point of the Gaoxin tribe now living with the people of the Nushan tribe, king or not.The brothers picked up their bows and arrows and left the tent to prepare for a night hunt.When he set off, Helan Sulfone heard Yuansang and Ah Kura arguing from a distance.Since she brought Yuansang back to the Nushan tribe, she has clashed with others almost every day, and Helan Yan is used to seeing it, and she has long given up her plan to persuade her.No matter how irritable and unlikable Yuan Sang was, the people of the Nushan tribe still respected and relied on her, as if it was the reverence that existed in the bloodline.Summer nights are crisp and the stars are high.Helan Sulfone rode the sky and galloped across the grassland, the wind blowing his long hair and robe sleeves, and he felt as if he was also blown up by the wind, a free blade of grass.Helan Jinying caught up with him, sounded the horsewhip, and asked: You said that you were going to Dayu, is it true?
Of course.Helan Sulfone did not hesitate, I brought Yuansang back, and I have also settled the Gaoxin people.Now I'm going to do what I want to do.The brothers stopped their respective gosin horses.The moonlight was cool, and the waves of grass gently rolled under the horses' hooves, and the original seemed to be surging with thin waves.Helan Jinying saw a clear moon in Helan Sulfone's eyes.His younger brother has grown up so fast, and his childish face, which has faded rapidly, is now angular, and he speaks and does things with a solemn air.The moonlight gilded Helan Sulfone's long thick brown hair.I'm leaving.He grabbed the reins of the sky and said with a smile: I want to go to Dayu, to find my Lema.The author has something to say: grinding and drinking: the small Buddha statue of clay sculpture is simply made of colored carved wood as the base, and the exquisite ones will be decorated with gold beads and jade.Grain board: similar to model ornaments, scatter a layer of soil on the wooden class, plant some millet and wheat seedlings, and wait for them to grow, and then put small houses, flowers and trees on the soil, and put some pinched out villains, dressed as the appearance of village farmland, which is very cute.
(Some readers who have read the manga "Hundred Ghosts at Night" may remember that there is a story in the book where evil spirits are hidden in a small model of the village.)The model depicted in the manga is very similar to the grain board).General Fruit Food: During the Chinese Valentine's Day, people will carve seasonal melons and fruits and put them out for sale.If you buy a pound at a time, there will definitely be two villains in armor inside, like door gods, although I don't know what historical figures they are, all of them are called General Fruit Food.Seeds: Mung beans, red beans, and wheat seeds are soaked in porcelain and tied together with red and blue strips of cloth.All of these things are sold in the market, bought for themselves or given as gifts.In the evenings, some nobles or brothels will also put the gifts and begging objects they receive outside the door, and the more things they have, the more dexterous and popular the daughters of the family are.When I checked these materials, I found that Qixi Festival is Chinese Valentine's Day in our current commercial society, but in ancient times, it was actually an agricultural festival at the turn of summer and spring to pray for a good harvest and pray for smooth farming in the coming year.Chapter 91 On the eve of the Zhongyuan Festival, Cen Rong brought an edict from Emperor Renzheng.Jin Yi followed him into the palace, only to learn that Emperor Renzheng's condition was repeated, and since the beginning of this year, he has often had heartaches, sometimes after eating, and sometimes in the morning.Some doctors said that the lung yin was insufficient, and some said that the liver and spleen were depressed and hot, and many acupuncture methods were used, but they never had any effect.The most prestigious imperial physician in the palace once vaguely told Cen Rong that whether it was hot or cold, it all depended on people's central qi to maintain stability, but Emperor Renzheng was old and afraid it would be difficult.Jin Yi couldn't tell what it was like in his heart.He took Chen Shuang to Ji Chunming for dinner and wine these days, originally planned to create an opportunity for Chen Shuang and Second Sister Yao to meet, but Chen Shuang refused to go, the three men drank in the courtyard, and several gangsters from Mingye Hall squatted on the wall to protect them.Ji Chunming said a lot of things in the court, most of which were complaints about him as the secretary of the criminal department, but he was not stupid, and in his dealings with the other five books, he gradually found a new taste.Ji Chunming is not a person from Taishi Liang, nor is he a person from Cen Rong, and he has never even appeared in the list of candidates proposed by the courtiers.When Emperor Renzheng appointed him, many people in the court had not even seen Ji Chunming's appearance.In other words, Ji Chunming was actually a person of Emperor Renzheng.This situation is completely different from what Jin Yi and Cen Rong originally speculated.Originally, Cen Rong controlled the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Rites, Liang Anchong controlled the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of Industry, and Emperor Renzheng always held the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household in his hands.Cen Rong pulled Sheng Keliang off the horse, because he wanted to push his own people to fill it, but Emperor Renzheng didn't choose anyone, but he chose Ji Chunming.Now that Emperor Renzheng actually controls the Criminal Department, the Military Department, and the Household Department, Cen Rong's power has not changed in the slightest.Jin Yi became more and more aware of why Cen Rong was so nervous about the matter of Dingshanyan.What he was fighting for didn't really get his hands on.And who Emperor Renzheng appoints as the crown prince means who he will hand over the power to.Ordered Ying to ride thousands of miles, just to recall Cen Xuan and see him, this attitude is already very revealing.Of course, Cen Rong is still Emperor Renzheng's favorite prince, but once Cen Rong returns to Beijing, the situation may change again.After hearing this, Jin Yi had only one thought in his heart: Cen Rong and Liang Anchong both wanted to stir up the troubled waters of the court, but Emperor Renzheng was in power, and he was the one who really called for wind and rain.Entering the palace gate, he was still greeted by Yang Gonggong, who was closest to Emperor Renzheng.Gonggong Yang greeted Cen Rong first, and when he faced Jin Yi, a pair of old eyes gradually burst into tears: Little general, I haven't seen you for a long time, you have grown up!
Jin Yi saluted him.He has seen a lot of eunuchs in the palace, but this Yang Zhiyuan Yang Gonggong is indeed an extremely kind one to him.Yang Gonggong held Jin Yi's hand, looked up and down, and couldn't help sighing: Like, really like!
The eyebrows and eyes are like Emperor Shunyi, but this style of standing proudly in the wind is General Zhongzhao!
He led Cen Rong and Jin Yi all the way through the vermilion palace corridor and the palace gate covered with copper nails, zigzags, and entered the palace.Cen Rong was blocked by Gonggong Yang, and Jin Yi walked straight to the palace.Walking through the place where his impression was still somewhat familiar, he remembered that there was once a camellia planted here, and the color of the flower was red, and it was lined with snow and frost in winter, which was particularly amazing.The camellia was later burned by Cen Rong, and now a small pavilion has been set up next to the old site of the camellia tree, and the white-haired Emperor Renzheng is sitting in the pavilion.Jin Yi was stunned: he didn't expect that after two years, the emperor would grow old like this!
When Emperor Renzheng saw Jin Yi from afar, he didn't wait for the eunuch to report, and directly beckoned to Jin Yi: Ziwang, come here.There are tea cakes in the pavilion, all of which are things that Jin Yi likes.He sighed slightly.Halfway through a game of chess on the stone table, Emperor Renzheng beckoned Jin Yi to continue the game, and his tone was kind and casual, as if they had just been separated yesterday.
