046 Names reach the capital
Little girl, right and wrong. △
Yu Jin smiled, gently stuffed the box into Wu Xuan's hand, which was a little at a loss, and then said lightly: "Let's go."
Too expensive does not mean that you don’t like it. When I gave it to myself, Yu Jin had already seen Wu Xuan’s reluctant look. There was a bag of red bean cake, which I bought for Yu Yu’s little greedy cat on the way to the clinic. It happened to be useful. I changed it in the moment I turned around, and the little doctor Wu Xuan was in a mess and didn’t pay attention to these details.
Looking at the lost mirror, Wu Xuan hesitated for a moment, but did not exclaim again. Instead, she gently put it into the medicine box, and then carried the medicine box like a young wife, lowering her eyebrows and following Yu Jin behind her.
"Miss Wu, my mother's illness, should I buy some tonics tonics to replenish my body?" In order to break the embarrassing scene, Yu Jin took the initiative to speak and disconnect the topic about the mirror.
"This is good, it's better to make up for it. The aunt's foundation is not very good." Wu Xuan finished speaking and immediately said: "There are some medicine clinics, and people will send it to the aunt later."
Wu Xuan secretly planned to say that these tonics are not expensive, so that they feel better inside.
"That's my fault."
"You're welcome."
After pausing, Wu Xuan suddenly whispered: "Mr. Yu, the little girl may not have time to massage the aunt tomorrow."
"Oh, it's inconvenient?"
"Tomorrow it will be Ms. Xu's wedding ceremony. I have seen the county magistrate's wife several times before, and I have a good relationship with Ms. Xu. The county magistrate's wife asked me to accompany Ms. Xu, saying that she had a companion, and I don't know when the banquet would end, so..."
Yu Jin said considerately: "I understand, I don't need to massage every day, Miss Wu just goes there."
The county magistrate's daughter and the wedding ceremony were probably very grand and attracted much attention. Yu Jin was also looking forward to it.
I look forward to the mirror I created carefully to become famous, and I also look forward to the turbulent Cui Sanniang coming to discuss business with her. Hehe, it will not be the same price at that time, and Wu Xuan followed Yu Jin and did not say anything because she was in a mess now.
For a moment, I felt that Yu Jin was too hateful, and for a moment, I hated that my position was not firm enough. I was determined to defend myself and was afraid that the more I would describe it, I was very entangled in my heart.
So, the two of them had no words along the way and walked straight to the Yu family.
.........
In ancient times, there was little entertainment. Sometimes a small banquet could attract attention. Recently, the biggest topic in Yuyao was the daughter of the Xu County Magistrate's family and the ceremony.
The county magistrate is in charge of a county's political affairs, from major cases such as murder and arson, to trivial matters such as neighbors quarrels, all are under the jurisdiction of the county magistrate. For the people of a county, the county magistrate is their parents' official, and the affairs of parents' official will become the most popular thing in the county. In addition, the hot topic of choosing a son-in-law at a banquet will naturally attract attention.
Yu Jin also understood the way this parent official did. Yuyao was a wealthy place, but there were too many wealthy families and scholars, and they were mixed up. The county magistrate was afraid of making some money. Relying on that little salary alone was not enough to support the family, so naturally he found a way to make money. Holding and ceremonies for his daughter with great fanfare is a good way to make money.
You can't go to the banquet empty-handed, so this is a legal way to make money. It is said that because there are many people attending the banquet, the largest and most luxurious Zuixianlou in Yuyao was conquered by the county magistrate.
Food is the most important thing for people. This is an old saying in China. Many people ask, "Have you eaten?" as soon as they meet, Chinese people have a passion for food from their core. There are several types of cuisines alone, and they also like to contact each other at banquets, discuss business, and discuss business matters.
The magistrate of Xu County, Yuyao, was holding a banquet, while Xu Jie, who was far away in the capital, was also holding a banquet.
The same banquet was held, but Comrade Xu Jie did not set up a banquet because he was not a woman. Xu Jie was not only not a woman, but also a big man, a man among men. Because of his ability, his shrewdness, and his secrets made him stand as the most important minister: the chief minister of the cabinet.
The composition of the heavenly stems and earthly branches formed the ancient calendar. The heavenly stems start from Jia, and the earthly branches start from Zi. The heavenly stems and earthly branches are circulated and matched together, and can form 60 groups such as Jiazi, Yichou, Bingyin... and other groups, which are recycled and used to commemorate the day or year, called Jiazi. For a person, Yijiazi is a day worth congratulations. Xu Jie held a banquet because he was born in the 16th year of Hongzhi of Emperor Xiaozong of the Ming Dynasty.
This birthday was not only a significant birthday party, but also the first birthday party after Xu Jie defeated Yan Song and his son and became the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty cabinet. The people of the Xu family naturally attached great importance to it. The preparations for the birthday party began a month ago.
In the Xu Mansion, Zhang Jie and his friends were all over the house. Xu Jie, wearing a big red birthday robe, sat in the lobby and accepted congratulations from his family, juniors, colleagues, disciples and others. Even Jiajing, who was devoted to alchemy, sent someone to send imperial edicts to commend this important minister with outstanding work.
At this moment, Xu Jie was full of energy and full of confidence.
From being a Jinshi in the second year of Jiajing, he was appointed as an editor of the Hanlin Academy to being the most powerful minister, Xu Jie has been hard-working in the officialdom for forty years, fighting with the Yan father and son for more than ten years, pretending to be a grandson for more than ten years, Xu Jie, who was extremely secretive, finally turned over and became the master. Therefore, at this moment, Xu Jie is the winner in life.
On the 60th birthday of the cabinet chief, the emperor issued an order to praise it, and all civil and military officials in the capital were moved by the news.
The fact that he was able to squeeze the door of Xu Mansion was a sign of success and a positive signal to approach the leaders. On the birthday party of Xu Shou Guard, Grand Secretary Gao Gong, Crown Prince Li Chunfang, Staff and Secretariat Zhang Juzheng, Minister of Personnel Guo Pu, Minister of Rite Yan Ne and other important officials came to congratulate him. Even the new commander of the Jinyiwei, Duke Cheng Guo Zhu Xizhong also attended the meeting with his face.
If the Xu Mansion catches fire, the Ming Dynasty will lose at least half of its important officials.
Xu Jie is not a pedantic person. The carefully prepared banquet is very rich, but the people present are not rich, and for them, eating and drinking is secondary. With the status of the people present, they can eat any time they want. Now the most important thing here is to get familiar with each other and expand their connections.
Jiajing was suspicious and moody by nature. The most disgusting thing was to form cliques. In fact, it was not only Jiajing, but the emperors of all dynasties did not like their ministers to be too united to avoid being difficult to control. Xu Jie, who has always been good at guessing the emperor's thoughts, could not understand it? Therefore, the birthday party hinted at the beginning: today we only talk about the wind and moon, not political affairs.
The commander of the Jinyiwei was among the guests who were congratulating. Who dared to talk nonsense? Zhu Xizhong didn't mind giving him a free tour of the Fufu Department for free, plus a luxurious torture package.
When literati gather, lyrics and poems are naturally indispensable. As he spoke, Yan Ne, who had rarely spoken, said with some emotion: "Everyone, I have heard that there are any good poems recently. Yan is busy with business and has not read good poems on some days."
Guo Pu, the Minister of Personnel, agreed after hearing the voice: "My brother Minqing (Yan Ne's name) said very much. Guo has not heard any refreshing works recently. If you are good poems, don't be stingy and appreciate them together."
It is very elegant to chant the wind and play the moon. When talking about good poems, everyone present felt:
"Tang poetry, Song lyrics and Yuan lyrics, but I don't have enough distinct works in the Ming Dynasty."
"Yes, romantic figures like Li Bai and Du Fu are really rare in a century."
"This is a bad thing. The prosperity of Tang poetry depends on the nine-rank Zhongzheng system. Children of poor families and even children with backgrounds can become famous before they enter the officialdom, so that they can find a good backer. However, my Ming Dynasty children do not have such concerns. They just need to do a good job in learning and solve good problems. The two cannot be compared."
"It makes sense, Xie deeply agrees."
Most of the present were literati and experienced in the imperial examination. When talking about these romantic affairs, they talked endlessly. Sometimes they refused to give in to each other and quarreled with each other for different opinions.
After everyone calmed down, someone suddenly said, "When talking about good poems, Chen recently heard a good poem, which may be able to listen to you all."
Everyone turned their heads to look at the voice and found that the person who was speaking was Chen Qi, the youngest secretary of the Zhanshi Mansion. This person used to be a professor in the Imperial College and liked to collect excellent poems and articles from the Imperial College to recommend them to King Yu. After hearing this, the Zuodu Censor Zhao Jin couldn't help but smile and said, "Chen Zhanshi, what other excellent works have been made by the Imperial College?"
Chen Qi smiled and said, "This poem is not about going to the Imperial College. Speaking of which, this person has some connection with Censor Zhao."
"Oh, is this happening?" Zhao Jin said in surprise.
"That's right" Chen Qi smiled and said, "If the Xiaguan remembers correctly, the Imperial Censor Zhao is a native of Yuyao. This poem that touched Xiaguan was precisely written by a young scholar in Yuyao."
Is there such a thing?
The poem written by a young scholar far away in Yuyao actually reached the young minister of the Zhan Shi Mansion. This was amazing. For a time, many people were curious about the young scholar. Even Zhu Xizhong, who deliberately and low-key Duke Cheng and the commander of the Jinyiwei, also raised his ears.
