Xiaojiuhua has a mountain hundreds of feet high and a surrounding area of fifteen miles.
Therefore, the mountains are beautiful and resemble Mount Jiuhua in Qingyang, a hundred miles away, so it is called "Little Jiuhua".
Xiaojiuhua is also called Wangfu Mountain because there is a strange stone on the mountain, which is about a person tall and resembles a human figure. There are three characters "Wangfu Stone" engraved on it. It is one foot and six inches in size and looks like seal script and official script. It is unknown where it originated.
Which dynasty and which generation.
Legend has it that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva once practiced cultivation here, so the Ksitigarbha Hall was built in the mountain, which is magnificent. For thousands of years, on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month and the thirtieth day of the seventh lunar month, there has been an endless stream of people offering incense.
It was not the incense season. There were not many tourists in the mountains and it was very quiet. Xia Xun and his family were in the right place to browse the mountains and enjoy the magnificent scenery.
Xia Xun did not reveal his identity to the abbot of the temple, but after donating a sum of sesame oil, he declined the company of Zhike Monk, and the family toured freely in the mountains. This small Jiuhua is on the edge of the river, with a jade peak and lush vegetation.
There are also hares, hedgehogs, cuckoos, woodpeckers and other mountain wild animals, which are very quiet and peaceful.
When it was getting dark and he was about to return, he suddenly saw a number of people riding fast horses galloping towards him from outside the mountain. Xia Xun originally thought that there were tourists coming to the mountain to take a look. Unexpectedly, the guards in front came to greet him. After a exchange of words, they actually attracted him.
Dingqing took a look and recognized it was Xu Jiang.
Xia Xun led Xu Jiang to a small pavilion, and Xu Jiang quietly explained to him the news that Jin had been moved to Annan again. Xia Xun was suddenly shocked. This was not a good sign. The emperor's mind was unpredictable. Sometimes, a
Demotion after demotion was actually just to give a signal to the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty to continue the impeachment. When the momentum was built up and the evidence of guilt was numerous, the butcher's knife was cut off.
Xia Xun asked nervously: "Why did the emperor change his mind?"
Xu Jiang said: "Master Jie composed a song "Song of Resentment" on the way, and he also had some complaints. He did not mention the guards who sent him to Guangxi, but there were other people who had eyes and ears. I don't know who reported it to the emperor.
He was so angry that he was renamed Annan."
Xia Xun immediately felt relieved after hearing this. As long as the emperor didn't take the initiative, he had no intention of killing him. Even if he was demoted to the end of the world, as long as he was alive, there was always room for maneuver. He was stunned for a while, then smiled bitterly and said: "Explanation
Jin has such a bad mouth, don’t you know the lesson?”
Xu Jiang also smiled bitterly: "My lord, in Annan, there are rebellions here today and rebellions there tomorrow. There are constant rebels and there is smoke everywhere. When the Grand Scholar Jie arrives there, will he..."
Xia Xun shook his head and said: "It doesn't matter. Xie Jin is a man who has served as a bachelor of the first government. If he has any shortcomings in Annan, the court will not look good. Therefore, even if Zhang Fu and Mu Sheng don't let him
Taking it seriously, we must arrange him properly and we will definitely not let anything happen to him."
Xia Xun breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You go back first, I'll stay here for a while."
Having said this, Xia Xun lowered his voice and said, "I'll keep an eye on Chen Ying's every move!"
Xu Jiang nodded, said goodbye to Xia Xun, saddled his horse, led several subordinates, and galloped away again.
Xia Xun was riding on a horse, and a group of women and children rode in six carriages. With the support of their family members and guards, they slowly rushed back to the villa at the foot of Ci Lao Mountain.
Halfway through the journey, I suddenly saw a wedding procession approaching in front of me.
The guard wanted to step forward and order the other party to get out of the way, but Xia Xun stopped him in time. Xia Xun said with a smile: "Getting married is a major event in a person's life. Come on, drive our car to the side of the road and make way for them."
The guards obeyed the order and got out of the way. The people getting married didn't know who he was, so they passed by in a fuss. Xia Xun and Ming'er looked side by side at the groom who was wearing new clothes and red robes, and smiled and pointed.
Fan.
After the wedding team passed by, the car drove back to the road and continued walking forward. Within five miles, he saw another wedding team. Xia Xun couldn't help but smile to Ming'er and said, "We didn't see it when we came out. We don't know.
What an auspicious day today is, so many people are getting married."
Before he could finish his words, there was another wedding team coming back from the fork in the road to pick up the bride. The two wedding teams, plus Xia Xun's motorcade, blocked the road. It took a long time to get two wedding teams.
The welcoming team just passed by, and Xia Xun and his family were able to get on their way. The adults felt a little irritable, but only the children found it interesting, and they were all in high spirits.
Xia Xun saw Ming'er leaning on the window rail and looking out the window, lost in thought, so he gently held her hand and asked softly: "Why, seeing someone else getting married, did you fall in love with the scene?"
Ming'er looked back at him with a smile and said: "What's more, from morning to night that day, all the rituals were so complicated that it almost made people fall apart. Who wants to remember it? I only saw that mountain peak by chance.
I feel like I'm in a trance, look at what it looks like."
Xia Xun looked around, left and right, up and down, and then hesitated and said: "Hmm..., like a blue snail?"
Ming'er rolled her eyes at him. Yang Huaiyuan, who was sitting between the two of them and looking around, got excited and quickly got up and said, "Let me see, let me see!"
He had two bare little feet, one foot on his father's thigh and one foot on his mother's thigh, and he pushed forward hard. Xia Xun was busy behind him and supported his waist. Yang Huaiyuan held him
He put his whole head out of the window, looked at it carefully for a long time, grinned widely, and drooled: "Mom, that mountain looks like a big turtle!"
Ming'er rolled her eyes helplessly and said angrily: "I'll make you two mad to death sooner or later!"
Xia Xun said depressedly: "Then what do you think it looks like?"
Ming'er glanced at him, with a touch of tenderness in her eyes, and said softly: "Look at that mountain peak, does it look like... the mountain where you and I met when we were hunting foxes in Yanshan Mountain in the past?"
Xia Xun quickly looked again, but only saw his son's bare butt stuck on the window. Xia Xun touched his nose and hummed: "Hmm..., it looks like, it really does look like!"
"Humph! It turns out you don't mean what you say!" Ming'er rolled her eyes at him again.
At this time, Yang Huaiyuan retracted his head and said happily: "Father, mother, just... those people who just got married are back again, playing the trumpet!"
"Um?"
Xia Xun was shocked, and when he went out to take a look, it turned out that there was another wedding team approaching. The people getting married were all dressed in red and colorful, playing and playing, and the children couldn't tell them apart. They just thought that the wedding team that had just walked past was back again.
Xia Xun turned back and smiled at Ming'er: "Today must be an extremely rare and auspicious day. Many people are getting married."
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Xia Xun didn't know that at this moment, with Jinling City as the center, all the families who were well-informed and had received the news in advance were eager to marry off their daughters, especially those who had already had a marriage contract, but their children were still too young to get married.
They were even more in a hurry, keeping everything simple and fast, and hurriedly got married and consummated the marriage. Because they had received news that the emperor was going to draft a girl.
In Moling Town, a eunuch, a royal guard, and an official from Yingtian Mansion, like three fierce gods, were sitting in the room, and from time to time they would pick up a tea cup and take a sip.
Yang Lijie, the head of Moling Town, was holding the household registration book and flipping through it in a panic. From time to time, he took a sip of saliva and read it again. There was an abacus next to him. Yang Lijie flipped through the household registration book and flicked the beads on the abacus from time to time.
Add a number.
After a long time, Yang Lijie closed the book, took a breath, stood up and smiled at the three of them: "Three Shangguan, I have found out clearly. There are 227 households in this town, 16
One hundred and twenty-eight people, including a total of 212 unmarried women between the ages of thirteen and sixteen."
"Um?"
The officer of Yingtian Mansion glared and said: "This number seems wrong, doesn't it? Why doesn't it match the list in the mansion? Yang Lijie, please don't fool me. This is a court draft to select women for the emperor.
Do you know? If you dare to cheat...hum, don't forget how your second uncle died!"
Yang Lijie was indeed a bit arrogant. He concealed the ten quotas in order to make it easier for his close relatives and friends. Don't look at the intimidation of Yingtian Mansion's officials. The officials were running errands, and they were always willing to pay for themselves.
To get some benefits, the emperor's knife can't be so easy to cut on the head of a very different person like him.
However, this attitude is still necessary. Yang Lijie immediately looked frightened and said repeatedly: "How dare you, a villain? How dare you, a villain? There are only 212 people. To be honest, there are several families with daughters."
We are already married, but it has not been recorded yet. You can't fool the emperor with a married woman!"
The eunuch snorted heavily, stood up, and said, "Two hundred and fifteen people! Not even one less!"
When Yang Lijie heard this, he immediately burst into tears: "It's really not possible for Shangguan to show mercy. Even if the villain is alive, he won't have time to gather so many people!"
The captain of Jinyiwei slapped him in the face and cursed: "You bastard! The entire Yingtian Mansion has to select 100,000 people. The 100,000 people will be selected by the local government, and then 20,000 people will be selected to go to Beijing. After arriving in Beijing, they will go to Beijing again.
After screening, 1,400 people can be selected after three selections. These 1,400 people enter the palace and are observed by a special person for another month, and 400 people are eliminated. Finally, only 800 people are selected to be show girls for the emperor. You
Is it that easy for gentlemen to do things?"
He smiled coldly and said sinisterly: "Don't play tricks with me. This matter is presided over by Master Ji of Jin Yiwei. If anyone dares to play tricks, he must have heard of our Master Ji's methods, right? Three days later, we
Come and take someone with you! Let’s go!”
The three people piled up the teacups and walked out in a big way. Yang Lijie covered his face, nodded and bowed and sent them out, standing at the door in a daze.
"Master, master!" His mother-in-law followed carefully and gently pulled on his sleeve.
Yang Lijie got smart and said: "Quick, quick, tell our daughter to clean up immediately and get married immediately!"
His mother-in-law was stunned and said: "Master, our daughter has just turned thirteen and has not been married to anyone yet. Who should she marry?"
Yang Lijie glared and said, "What if you can't get married yet? I'll find a family for her right now, and we'll get married tomorrow!"
He started to walk away, but after taking two steps, he suddenly stopped again, turned his head, and told his mother-in-law through gritted teeth: "Keep your mouth tight, and don't let any air leak out!"
His mother-in-law said calmly: "Then...then our niece..."
Yang Lijie said: "There are only a few places in total. Don't make any publicity first. We can wait until our daughter's marriage is finalized!"
