Chapter 688 Daily Life A Year Ago Part 1
Not long after the twelfth lunar month, the government sealed the doors and entered the New Year state.
Shao Xun rarely rested for a few days, and then he had to go out for a surprise visit.
This year I won’t be visiting Chenliu to express my condolences. I will go to Puyang in the north instead.
A few days before leaving, he tried his best to spend time with the sheep.
"You dare to let me go out?" Yang Xianrong was so happy that he couldn't help but tease Shao Xun.
The Princess Pei of the East China Sea has become the "Mrs. Pei" of the Shao Mansion.
It is so bold to take the former mistress as your bed partner! But if it is the queen, it would be too exciting.
When Shao Xun heard this, he just smiled and said: "What's the difficulty in walking in the sea of sand?"
Yang Xianrong stopped embarrassing him and gently stroked his belly.
This is her second child. When she was a teenager, she and the late emperor conceived a princess. She is already married. The child in her belly is already six months old. In a few months, she will give birth to her father and mother. Sheep Xianrong is very happy.
, people have also become much more tolerant.
"After hunting for so long, I don't know how to hunt down prey." There was no wind today, the sun was warm, and it was particularly comfortable to shine on people. Yang Xianrong took his body and leaned confidently into Shao Xun's arms, letting him gently
He hugged himself and said: "Don't force the prey into a desperate situation and let them fight in a trapped animal fight. And don't let them feel sad about the death of a rabbit and a fox, and then hug together."
After hearing this, Shao Xun nodded repeatedly.
A few days ago, he went to sleep with Cui. Cui's statement was different from Yang Xianrong. It was completely based on the theory that scholars are the pillars of the country.
Shao Xun was greatly disappointed when he heard this. He felt that from now on he would only have perverted sensual desire for Mrs. Cui and nothing else.
He even felt that he should try to reduce the number of times he went to see Mr. Cui as much as possible to avoid being plotted against. After all, it is completely different whether some things are brought up or not, and people's hearts will change.
Women like Yu Wenjun, Pei Lingyan, and Yang Xianrong sleep soundly and peacefully.
It is really not easy for politicians to have some sympathy.
"Do you know who is better now?" Yang Xianrong closed his eyes and murmured: "You were so poor back then that you didn't give out dried meat, candied fruits, or rice at the end of the year. If I hadn't grown rice and raised livestock in Guangchengze,
I'm afraid you are the most stingy Uncle Fang in the world."
"My family has never grown alfalfa. Later, I went to Guanzhong to look for seeds and asked someone to teach me. Do you know how much trouble it took? Back in Xuchang, your soldiers all had their mouths full of oil and became big and round.
I am so loyal. You don’t even come to Guangcheng Palace to see me.”
"When I was disappointed, I was thinking about why I still miss you. I, the daughter of the Taiyang clan, am a queen, why should I let you ruin me? Later I thought about it, it was probably the things you did in times of crisis that moved me so much.
But if you still avoid suspicion and turn a blind eye to me, I will probably leave you eventually."
"Just be proud of yourself. Some people from the Yang family came to me and talked nonsense, but I scolded them away. There are many people who are dissatisfied with you now. If I don't help you, you won't be able to live in peace."
Shao Xun gently smoothed Yang Xianrong's hair, secretly thinking that Yang Chen really didn't talk much on that day.
As the Right Sima of the shogunate, his nominal position was lower than that of the Left Sima. But Shao Xun knew that Chen Yougen was not as good as Yang Chen in officialdom, and a lot of power was seized by the other party.
During the pacification of Qingzhou, Yang Chen commanded the army, and his command was determined and well organized. Even Jin Zheng did not contradict him a few times, which shows that he was indeed unique.
His merits are great, his strength and popularity are also very good, but he was careful not to say anything, and his intention to hide his clumsiness was very obvious.
Is it because of this child? Shao Xun gently stroked Yang Xianrong's belly.
If this is really the case, then continue fishing until their mouths are bent, so that these noble clans cannot form a joint force and cannot get together.
He also needs to operate constantly.
"Let's go out for a walk." Shao Xun said softly.
Yang Xianrong didn't say anything, but stood up gently, then took Shao Xun's arm and walked out of the main entrance of Huang Nu Palace.
"The name of this gate is 'Changqiu', which is your name." Shao Xun pointed to the tall gate tower behind him and said.
"When did you get it?" Yang Xianrong asked in surprise.
"Just now." Shao Xun smiled.
"Where are the other two doors?"
Huangnu Palace is surrounded by walls. The east side shares a door with Lichundai, the south side is the main entrance, and there are also doors on the west and north sides.
"Let's call it 'Yingchun Gate' or 'Dongyong Gate'."
"Where's the building?"
"You come up with a name."
"I'll think about it carefully." Yang Xianrong happily leaned his head on Shao Xun's shoulder and looked at the lotus pond not far away.
The pond was artificially dredged and connected to the sand sea swamp. There is a pavilion in the pond, called the "Lotus Picking Pavilion", and two boats.
There are many fish in the pond, and you can also collect water chestnuts in summer - this is the request of Shao Xun's parents.
People who collect water chestnuts are mostly "sinners", which can be understood literally.
For example, when Ji County was conquered, there were still many women who were not rewarded and were basically sent to the Liang Palace to do menial work. In fact, this was equivalent to Ye Ting, but the Liang State was not yet able to set up such an institution.
Other departments (cao in the palace) are just in charge.
For now, most of the captured enemy generals in Ye Ting, the wives and daughters of their own prisoners, do everything from washing clothes to doing farm work and doing chores. They are an important source of labor force in the palace - "The wives and daughters were taken into Ye Ting."
"" is a common punishment since the Han Dynasty. Some little girls even grew up in Yeting and did not know anything about the outside world.
It's not like the women in Yeting don't have a chance to make a comeback.
Sometimes the emperor is used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, and he just wants a bite of farm food, or he wants to play with the wives and daughters of his enemies. This is an opportunity.
Sometimes, some of the women from Yeting were released, such as when the emperor celebrated his birthday, changed his Yuan Dynasty, changed his title, etc., and asked them to choose their own husbands when they left the palace. After all, the emperor only had one gun and could not play with so many women. Like Sima Yan, who took down the entire Soochow palace.
It is really rare that he packs up and goes home with more than 10,000 women in his harem waiting for his blessing.
Perhaps, only Qin Shihuang, who had all the concubines, princesses, wives and daughters of nobles from the six countries, could compete with Sima Yan.
There are people busy working in the Lotus Picking Pavilion right now.
Shao Xun took a look and saw that some of them looked familiar. They were probably the women captured by Ji County, including Shi Hu, Kong Dou, and Zhao Lu's female relatives.
Cao's guards in the palace were watching.
It's a good job. He sees beautiful women every day, and Shao Xun secretly complains.
"Liang Palace is really quite impressive." Yang Xianrong said with emotion.
What Yang Xianrong saw was the harem, while Shao Xun saw various institutions.
The department is constantly being improved, and Liang Guo from more than a dozen counties has become familiar with its operation. It is actually a very good internship process.
He was not even in a hurry to let the Turtle Emperor step down. He expanded it little by little and swallowed it very well.
"See Ming Gong." Shi Wuli, the commander of Cao in the palace, came over and bowed in salute.
When Wu Li saw Yang Xianrong, his mind was a little confused. He didn't know what to call her for a moment, and finally said directly: "See Mrs. Yang."
The three words "Mrs. Sheep" made Sheep Xianrong feel elated and smile.
Shao Xun hugged her gently.
I don't like to be called "Queen Hui", I just want to be called "Mrs. Sheep", what else can I say.
Wu Li was one of Cao's officials in the palace, an eighth-rank official, in charge of the palace gardens - this does not refer to the gardens, but actually the fish ponds, livestock farms, vegetable beds, orchards in the palace.
Wu Li was the eldest grandson of Wu Qian. He knew Braille, but not much, and was from the Imperial Academy (in name only).
In comparison, He Li (the son of He Lun) with the same name does not need to be named Taixue. He is from a noble family and has many connections. He is currently working under Liu Anzhi, Cao Shangshu of the Fifth Army, and is in charge of military registration in front of him.
The history of the order.
Inside the palace and outside the palace, we are all our own people.
The large-scale influx of Donghai Township Party members into Liang Palace is what happened in the past year.
For example, the newly appointed Taiguan was introduced by his uncle Liu Shan. He heard that he was doing business in his hometown and almost went bankrupt. But he had certain management capabilities, so he directly promoted Xiaolian from Lanling County, next door to the East China Sea, to come to Liang Palace to take charge of food.
If you're not one of your own, you won't feel safe using it.
Shao Xun is also a mortal body. If he eats the poisonous cake, he will be ruined. Don't tell me, the aristocratic family is quite good at doing this. They can't beat you head-on. It's not unreasonable to do some secretive things under the guise of a dog.
Maybe, it can only be said that the conflict has not reached this stage now, so there is no need.
"Wu Lingshi has quite a method for managing orchards. I've heard people say it." Shao Xun said, "I cultivated a peach. What is it called?"
"'Liang Baitao'." Wu Li said in surprise.
In fact, this peach is native to Guangchengze, and it is indeed cultivated artificially. It was not called this name before, but it was changed after transplanting here to flatter it.
The reason why Shao Xun knew was because his mother told him.
"You can promote it as appropriate, good things cannot be hidden in the palace." Shao Xun said.
"As ordered." Wu Li bowed and responded.
Shao Xun nodded to him and continued walking with Yang Xianrong.
As the two walked, their fingers slowly intertwined and then held tightly.
Yu Wenjun especially liked this and enjoyed it endlessly, like an innocent little girl. Unexpectedly, Yang Xianrong also liked it.
A tall figure appeared in front of him. Shao Xun subconsciously wanted to let go. Yang Xianrong's face dropped and he looked at him with unhappy eyes.
Shao Xun smiled awkwardly, took Yang Xianrong's hand and walked over.
Wang Huifeng stood by the pool, bowed, and then continued to look at the cold lake surface in winter.
Yang Xianrong was a little displeased when she saw Wang Huifeng's detached and independent appearance, and she almost asked Wang Huifeng to call her "mother queen". However, she had divorced Prince Minhuai a long time ago, but she had no reason.
So he gave up.
Shao Xun held Yang Xianrong's hand tightly.
This jealous little person often makes his lungs explode with anger. Sometimes Shao Xun is very troubled, and sometimes he is very satisfied. People always like to feel needed.
If Yang Xianrong was no longer angry, he would feel lost again - in one word, "cheap"!
"I heard that people will be sent to Xin'an after spring tomorrow?" Just when Shao Xun thought that Wang Huifeng couldn't speak, the other party suddenly asked.
"How do you know?" Shao Xun asked curiously.
"As you said, I am the 'Taiwei Assistant to the Government'." Wang Huifeng said with a smile.
Yang Xianrong raised his head in surprise and looked at Wang Huifeng.
This sentence is not Wang Huifeng's calm and temperamental style. When did she laugh and joke?
Thinking of this, his hand suddenly used force and pinched Shao Xun.
Shao Xun was thick-skinned and his expression remained unchanged. He looked at Wang Huifeng and said, "It is indeed true. Xin'anye is one of the great dynasties of the country, and I want to restore it."
Wang Huifeng took out a book and handed it to Shao Xun.
"Are you waiting here specifically for me?" Shao Xun was stunned.
Wang Huifeng hummed.
