A bright moon, the clear light shines into the green willows, a corner of the pavilion emerges, the red railing is curved, the Hunan curtain is half rolled, but a little woman leans on the railing, her double rings look at the moon bun, her eyebrows are as dark as a distant black, her eyes are
Like Qiushui, he held a small round of light Luo fan in his hand, slowly waved it, raised his pink face, and looked at the bright moon in the sky in a silly manner.
Not far behind her, a girl with an embroidered shirt appeared, quietly brushing the willows, rushing from behind the pavilion into the pavilion, covering the girl behind her, holding up a pair of pink palms, and suddenly covering the girl's two legs.
Item.
She was startled and said angrily: "It's Sister You again, I always like to tease people quietly!"
The girl in green shirt put down her hand and laughed, "Minqiu, see who it is?"
Pei Minqiu turned around and saw that Pei You, who had always liked to tease others, was the honest and quiet Pei Xier, and couldn't help but smiled strangely: "Did you just come from Sister You? She was so naughty."
"I don't dare to see her, as if I owe her a few hundred yuan to hang her. How long my face has been stretched in the past two days, and I'm still naughty! It would be nice if I don't lose my skin."
Pei Minqiu also thought of Pei You's yin-looking look, and couldn't help but smile. Suddenly, she remembered the misfortune of her marriage. She quickly stopped laughing and asked Pei Xier, "I heard that you went on a blind date today, what was the result?"
"Don't mention it. The Yu family said that there was a funeral in the capital today, and it was cancelled. My grandfather was also angry. Anyway, this matter would be ruined."
Pei Xier's grandfather was Pei Yun, but Pei Xier had always lived in Pei Ju's mansion and studied literary etiquette with a group of Pei family women, and had the best relationship with Min Qiu.
"Whose funeral was so grand that even the blind date was cancelled?" Minqiu asked in surprise.
Pei Xier sneer slightly, "Silly girl, don't you understand? This Yu family just made an excuse. It's just right! The three young men of the Yu family are as domineering as his father, so I'm satisfied with it."
Minqiu was a little absent-minded and asked in a low voice: "Is it the Duke of Chu who was the funeral?"
"It seems, I didn't pay attention."
Pei Xier glanced at her. Minqiu's concern for funerals was more than her marriage. She felt a little unhappy. She stood up and said, "It's late at night, I have to go back. You can enjoy the cool air alone!"
Seeing that she was cautious, Minqiu stepped forward and took her arm and smiled, "You damn girl, you said you would like to cancel the blind date. I won't ask much. The day after tomorrow is the Zhongyuan Festival. I heard that there is a Ullambana lantern festival.
There are still hundreds of dramas, let’s take a look together.”
"Well! I want to go, but I'm afraid my elders won't be allowed."
"The clan rules just say that it is normal to not go out at night. Tomorrow is the day of the year. As long as we say it to our elders, it should be fine. Then call Sister You."
"Um!"
The two girls walked away talking and laughing.
…………,
July 15th is the Ullamban Festival in Buddhism, the Zhongyuan Festival in Taoism, and the folk ghost festival. Whether it is a grand festival of Buddhism and Taoism or folk festivals, the Zhongyuan Ghost Festival is always a grand festival.
The Yuanri of the Earth Official Examination School, the good time of the gathering of heaven and earth, all kinds of treasures are flourishing in Buddhist temples on this day. The parade of hundreds of plays, the Ullambana lanterns shines brightly, and it is extremely lively. It is another folk view after the Lantern Festival.
Lights event.
Especially the powerful families who believe in Buddhism, this day is also their devout Buddhists who practice Buddhism. Many wealthy families will place Ullambana in front of them, and various treasures are placed in it. Hang lights on them, which will make them dazzling and dazzling at night.
It is called Buddha's light by the people.
At this time, visiting the treasure lanterns in front of the powerful mansions is a great pleasure for the people in the capital. Unconsciously, evaluating who is the most treasure trove and whose Buddha light is the most prosperous has become a topic for the people in the city to enjoy it.
, the festivals are still the same every year, and people are different every year.
Princess Leping Yang Lihua is also adamant about Buddhism. Although she is usually light and simple and close to nature, she cannot avoid the vulgarity of the Ullambana Festival. She will take out the precious pearls and jade under the box and decorate her Ullambana.
In order to seek the Buddha's glory.
Yang Lihua's Ullambana is a large white jade basin with a diameter of one zhang. This itself is a priceless treasure. It is a thing of the Northern Zhou Dynasty imperial palace. In the basin, gold sand is used as rice and jade is used as vegetables, and a three-foot coral plant is placed on it.
It was hung with jewelry and jade, and finally a few Buddha lamps were hung to reflect. The entire Ullambana was particularly bright and dazzling, with the Buddha's flowers. Last year, it was rated as the first Ullambana in the capital.
Eighteen small pots are placed around the main Ullambana, but there are real fresh fruits and rice delicacies in them, which are for the hungry ghosts escorted by the land officials to eat. On this day, the heaven and earth are in harmony, and humans and ghosts are having fun together.
.
Yang Lihua personally decorated her Yullambana in the hall, but saw the prince Yang Zhao sitting beside him frowning and couldn't help but smile: "Zhaoer, it's not easy to come to the capital, you should smile, let your father
The Queen Mother is happy, why did I see you three times, and my face is full of sorrow after three times?"
Yang Zhao was officially crowned as the crown prince in February last year. It has been a year and a half. Not only has he not become thinner, but he has become more obese. Now he can't even walk and needs the support of a guard. Every time Yang Guang and Hou Xiao meet him, he will not be happy.
Yang Guangsuoxing ordered him to guard Chang'an, but he would not enter the capital unless the imperial edict was issued.
This year, Yang Zhao went to Beijing to pay homage to his father in April. He has been living in the capital for three months. He is about to return to Chang'an when the deadline is over. He doesn't want to go back, so he asks his father to ask him to live in the capital for a few more months, but
Yang Guang was just not sure, and in desperation, he could only come and ask the emperor to plead for him.
Yang Zhao sighed and said, "I think it's strange, I don't have the reason to let the prince stay by my side to assist in state affairs, but let the prince stay away from the place. It's completely opposite to the emperor's grandfather in the past, and it is not in line with the etiquette system of all dynasties.
Although I cannot lead troops to war, there is no problem in handling the court affairs and assisting in discussing military and national affairs. I don’t understand. Since I don’t want me to participate in state affairs, why should I be crowned my prince? Just enthrone him directly.”
Yang Zhao's words were quite resentful. He guarded Xijing and did nothing. However, his brother, King of Qi, was able to go to court every day to hear about state affairs, and even some military and national affairs, which was completely reversed, just like he was the King of Qin.
And Yang Ming is like the prince.
Yang Lihua understood his situation and smiled and said, "Your father has good intentions. You know that you are in poor health. You will be able to rest in Xijing and regulate your body. In other words, your father will still be in his prime. When he gets older, he will naturally be in his health.
I will call you to assist in government affairs. Second, King Qi has changed a lot in the past two years and is positive. Your father also wants to find something for him to do so that he can completely get rid of the aura of playboys. So let him go to court and participate in government affairs.
This doesn’t mean anything, it’s because you’re too careful.”
"Hmph! Can he get rid of the aura of a playboy?"
Yang Zhao snorted disdainfully, "The things he did can be hidden from his father, but not from me, he..."
Seeing that the emperor's eyes were sharp, Yang Zhao did not dare to say anything anymore. After a while, he sighed, changed the subject and tentatively said: "Uncle, today is Yang Situ's funeral. The ceremony is extremely grand and generous. My father also gave it to him.
I heard rumors in Chang'an that Taiwei Gong, Hongnong and other ten counties of the title of Taiwei, and Taiwei Yang was forced to death by his father. Now it seems that this is wrong!"
Yang Lihua ignored him and took a jade watermelon and hung it on the coral branch. She felt very dissatisfied. Just like last year, there was no new idea, so she ordered her confidant girls to "go and bring the 81 little jade Buddhas in my Huabao box."
.”
Several girls agreed and turned around. Yang Lihua asked to pick all the jewelry from the coral branches. When Yang Zhao saw that the girls around him were gone, he whispered: "I heard that the Yang family is quite good to his father."
Complaints. He hid Yang Situ's body in an ice cellar forty-nine days before he was buried. He also said that the tea was cold when he left, and his father was solemn to the dead, but he was cold to the living."
Yang Lihua smiled faintly, "I'm not interested in the Yang family, don't tell me this."
"The emperor said this a little insincerely!"
Yang Zhao smiled and said, "Last year, Yang Yuanqing's victory in Fengzhou, all the ministers thought that Yang Yuanqing was young and should not be granted high titles. His father only wanted to be appointed as the deputy general manager of Fengzhou. The imperial edict was issued, but the emperor wrote three letters, which was against the public opinion.
. He forced his father to change the imperial edict. If the emperor had no intention of the Yang family, why would he do this?"
"The Yang family is the Yang family, and Yuanqing is the Yuanqing, these are two different things!"
Speaking of this, Yang Lihua's tone suddenly became stern, "Zhao'er, you are the crown prince after all, the crown prince of a country, you should have the country and compassion for the people of the world. How can you become like a woman? You talk about such boring things on the streets and alleys all day long
No wonder your father is disappointed with you. Even I don’t like you anymore. Zhaoer, you have really changed a little.”
Yang Zhao's face was flushed, he lowered his head, and after a long time, he sighed, "I don't want to change, but I have lived in Xijing for a long time and have not heard of state affairs. It is a great blessing to know these things, otherwise I can only watch monkey dramas, or
Just play with horns, watch illusions, listen to songs and dances, or what else can I do?”
The more he spoke, the more sad she became, Yang Zhao couldn't help but burst into tears. Yang Lihua looked at him, her eyes gradually became softer, and she felt a little pity. She sighed and said, "Okay! I'll tell you about your father and let you live a few more times."
If you have time, you should also go and say more to your father and mother, be filial and be filial. You are their eldest son and they will like you."
Yang Zhao cried with joy. As long as the emperor was willing to speak for him, he could stay. He was extremely moved, but he couldn't stand up. He had to bow and thank him, "Thank you, my nephew, remember it in my heart."
Seeing that he couldn't stand up, Yang Lihua felt regret and pitiful in her heart, and shook her head gently.
……………………
It is mid-July, and it is early autumn. Although the day is still hot, it is getting cooler in the morning and evening. Passers-by also try to choose to travel in the morning and evening to make it cool.
Compared with Chang'an, the official road in Luoyang is wider and straight, and the dirt on the road is very tight and strong. The official road has been repaired for two years, but there is still no grass growing. Moreover, walking along the way is not as dusty as the road in Guanzhong. There are tall trees planted on both sides.
It was the beginning of summer and the autumn tiger showed its might, but the official road was covered with thick shade, cool breeze, and a hint of cool water was contained in the air.
That afternoon, a group of people came to the official road west of Luoyang. It was Yang Yuanqing and his party who were returning to Beijing to attend the funeral. There were only thirteen people in total. In addition to Yuanqing and Yang Wei, there were also Yuanqing's maid Green Tea, and there were ten others.
Personal soldiers accompanied.
There are no regulations on personal soldiers in the Sui system, but there can be entourages. The number of entourages is also determined by the official title level. The higher the rank, the more entourages. There is an important honorary position in Yang Yuanqing's official position, Kaifu Yitong
The most important thing in the three departments is the word "Kaifu". In the Northern Wei Dynasty, this means that the military palace can be built by itself, so it is called Kaifu. In the Great Sui Dynasty, the military palace cannot be opened by itself, but Kaifu means that it can be
**In the establishment of the mansion, there can be entourage servants, so Yang Yuanqing brought ten personal soldiers and did not overstep the rules. On the contrary, this is a low-key expression. The masters of wealthy families traveled, and there were more than ten followers.
It was also the first time Yang Yuanqing came to Luoyang, Xindu. After walking on the road for twenty days, his grief gradually faded away, leaving only a deep sadness, hidden in his heart, he was silent all the way, and after entering Guanzhong
, He also had a little chat and laughter, trying his best to relieve everyone's depression on their journey.
He saw Yang Wei depressed all the way and knew that he was sorry for him. If he had not concealed it for half a month, they would rush back in time when they received the first letter, and maybe they would finally meet their grandfather.
Yang Yuanqing had advised him several times, but it took a lot of time on the road. Even if they were rushing non-stop, it would be too late. However, Yang Wei was always in a difficult situation and Yang Yuanqing didn't want to persuade him again.
Yang Yuanqing has been paying attention to the big trees on both sides. When he saw that the big trees were newly planted all the way, he sighed in his heart that in ancient times, the survival rate of transplanting big trees was extremely low, so there were also 'people moved to live, the tree moved to die'
It is said that only by transplanting ten trees can one survive. There are dense trees that cost dozens of miles apart, and at least tens of thousands of trees. How much manpower and material resources does this require?
He also heard in Wuyuan County that Luoyang Xindu was extremely luxurious. He was a little unbelievable, because Yang Guang issued an order that Xindu must be simple, but now even a tree on an official road is planted so luxuriously. Other projects
Then you can imagine it.
Yang Yuanqing knew in his heart that this was Yang Guang's style of doing things. He liked to do big things and was generous. It was completely different from the frugality of the late emperor. His grandfather, Yuwen Kai and others built a new capital. Yang Guang was always in control of the progress. If it weren't for his tacit approval,
How dare I build new ones so magnificently?
"Young Master, there is always a little wetness in the air. Is it because it is close to the Yellow River?" the little maid Lucha asked with a smile.
Green Tea has been with Yang Yuanqing for nearly two years, thirteen years old this year, wearing a pair of horns and wearing a thin silk green dress, smart, well-behaved and understanding, Yang Yuanqing also likes her quite a lot. She is not beautiful, but
She has a round face, is well-behaved and cute, especially when she is small, she rides a majestic tall horse, which makes her look inconsistent. She and Yang Wei, who is riding a camel, are the focus of attention.
An old man next to him heard her question and smiled and replied to Yang Yuanqing: "Miss, this is not the water vapor of the Yellow River!"
"Where is this water vapor from that old man? It's so cool?" Green Tea turned his head and asked with a smile.
The old man pointed to a long black line in the distance and said with a smile: "Did the girl see that black line? It is the wall of Huitongyuan, which is the emperor's garden forest. It is two hundred miles around and there is a radius of more than ten miles inside.
The artificial lake is said to be in the lake with three islands of Penglai. The pavilions and towers inside are made of gems and beautiful jade. The water vapor we feel is blowing from the lake there."
"Ah! The emperor likes lake so much, so why not move to us. There is Wuliangsuhai there, which is endless. I guarantee he likes it."
Yang Yuanqing gently knocked on her head and said with a smile: "Don't talk nonsense when you enter the capital, especially don't talk nonsense about the emperor. Be careful to arrest you in prison."
Green Tea was so scared that she stuck out her tongue and didn't dare to say more. At this time, the old man next to her pointed in the distance and smiled: "Look, the capital has arrived!"
Yang Yuanqing also saw a magnificent and magnificent new city bathed in the sun, with a magnificent atmosphere and a vast atmosphere. Luoyang, the new capital of the Great Sui Dynasty, was in July of the second year of Daye, and Yang Yuanqing was back.
