Volume 3 Eventful Autumn Chapter 19 Qinghe County is here
Volume 3: The turbulent autumn Chapter 19: Qinghe County is here
After leaving Qingxia, we came to the real south of the Tang Empire. The latest chapter of the Holy Hall was crisscrossing the fields, flowers and trees gradually grew, and the streams flowed smoothly, quietly heading south until we finally merged into the famous Daze.
Because of the existence of mountains and Qingxia in the north, even though the Southern Jin army was strong and the navy was famous all over the world, the Tang Dynasty did not arrange heavy troops on the southern plains.
So this equally rich field is less magnificent than the north and more elegant. The same is true for the houses on both sides of the road. Most of them are white walls and black eaves, with a uniform height, and are faintly hidden between the green trees and water wheels.
It doesn't seem monotonous, but it's different from quiet and beautiful.
The black carriage continued to move south, the scenery along the way became quieter, there were more and more streams and rivers, and the stone bridges of clear ponds and stones were common, and the farmland was relatively fewer, but there were many quiet manors.
It turned out that I had arrived in Qinghe County.
There is a big city in Qinghe County, known as the first city in the south of the Tang Dynasty, and is called Yangguan. Although the terrain of this Chicheng is not dangerous, it is in an extremely critical transportation road. Therefore, although the imperial court did not have heavy troops here, Yangguan City
However, Yiying City Defense is directly under the jurisdiction of a certain unit of Xu Shi, the general of the State.
Today, Yangguan City’s surname is Zhong, and the largest surname in the city is Zhong, which basically controls all walks of life in this city. The Zhong surname is just the most inconspicuous family among the major surnames of Qinghe County.
These high-ranking families in the southern part of the Tang Dynasty had thousands of hectares of fertile land and countless wealth, but what really allowed these families to last for a long time was the importance of education.
These clans pay the most attention to education and inheritance. They have been in the heritage of more than a thousand years. I don’t know how many famous scholars have emerged. Not to mention the officials of the Tang Dynasty, not to mention the successive queens many years ago, but even had several great priests in Xiling. Now there are many more.
The children of Qinghe served as priests in the Xiling Temple or were hired as teachers by the Tianyu Academy.
Officials at all levels in Qinghe County are basically held by the clans, but the royal family has secretly suppressed them for hundreds of years. Today, the major surnames in Qinghe County are relatively low-key, and they work in their hometowns and always want to work with Chang'an City.
Fight for some face, so the entire Qinghe County can be said to be politically clear, well-managed, very prosperous and lively. With the unique literary atmosphere and a shallow and comfortable religious atmosphere that can be accepted by the Tang people, it has always been in the hearts of the Tang people.
It is the top three places to visit.
There are many shops in Yangguan City, with tourists in total, with a total of 132 lakes, so it is also called the City of Hundred Lakes. The most famous of them is Shouhu Lake in the south of the city. Although the lake is not big, it is close to the government office.
More importantly, there are the best brothels and inns in the south by the lake, and the most gorgeous flower boats on the lake.
The mission to Lanke Temple was resting in Yangguan City for a few days and lived in a relatively quiet mansion east of Shouhu Lake. The mansion belonged to the Song family of the seven surnames of Qinghe County. I heard about the envoy a month ago.
The group was about to come, but the Song family gave it out without hesitation, which was enough to give the group a lot of face.
About four blocks from Shouhu Lake, there is a Datang Post Office, and a black carriage is parked outside the post office.
Ning Que looked at the city view through the car window and the scholars bowing to each other on the street, and couldn't help but smile, remembering the former classmate in the academy: Yangguan Zhong Dajun.
The Zhong Dajun, who was vigorously trained by Yangguan, the Zhong Dajun who was extremely hostile to him, the Zhong Dajun who was beaten countless times by him, the Zhong Dajun who was once substituted by him, and the Zhong Dajun who had been impostered by him for a long time
, the Zhong Dajun whom I haven't remembered for a long time.
"All of them are gone."
Ning Que recalled his days in the academy and couldn't help but feel like he was a different world. Now he and Zhong Dajun are already from two worlds, so he is naturally qualified to feel this way.
Because of Zhong Dajun, who hated him, he naturally had no good feelings for the Zhong clan who controlled Yangguan, and by the way, he also had no good feelings for this Yangguan city. Although he could not pick up the carriage all the way, he looked like he was unable to pick it up.
There is nothing wrong with this city, but he stubbornly believed that compared with Chang'an City, there were always some things that were not bad. As for what was worse, he was too lazy to think about it. (")
At this moment, Sangsang left the carriage.
Ning Que asked, "Has the silver been sent?"
Sangsang nodded.
Ning Que said: "Is it confirmed that I used a couplet of imperial documents?"
Sangsang said: "I can save five taels of silver, of course I won't forget it."
Ning Que said satisfied: "That's good."
Since leaving Weicheng, to be more precise, after opening the Lao Bizhai and starting to earn a lot of money, the two of them would send some silver to Weicheng on time every month. Although the amount is not large, it is always a meaning, and according to Ning
If it is short, it is useless to ask for money in that broken place. No matter how much you send, you will eventually fall into the gambling house and the wine shop. Why bother to die?
Yanming Lakeside House Purchase and Decorate, basically spent all Ning Que’s money, and even spent the dividends of the gambling house next year. However, this time going to Lanke Temple should be considered a tolerance, so he is not polite.
The words of the Master were told by the ground, Professor Huang He deceived him into cheating three thousand taels of silver from the front yard, and then threatened and induced him to get one thousand taels from Xu Chongshan, and his pocket was full as yesterday.
He and Sangsang were still habitually frugal, but since they were rich, they naturally began to care about enjoyment. Although the carriage left by Master Yan Se was good, it was a bit shocking to live in Yangguan City, so he chose Shouhu
Next to the hotel, the most advanced inn, I asked for the best room.
He handed the big dark horse to the inn servant, and he told the mate not to feed dry food such as this stupid bean bag. The mate was speechless and thought that it was indeed a rich man, and he actually raised a horse that was so precious that he couldn't even eat bean bags.
Ning Que is not afraid of the big dark horse's stomach being damaged, but is afraid of it losing its temper if it is not easy to eat. You should know that this fool is used to eating fresh fruits, fruits, Polygonatum, and ginseng. How can he look at it?
As for the forage, I can’t even look at it.
Originally, this fool was a foodie at heart, but this year he was brought into the ditch by the old ox. He began to pay attention to diet like the Master and adhere to the law of food as the most important thing. If he really made him go crazy because of food problems,
Even he may not be able to suppress it.
After washing up in the room, Ning Que took Sangsang to the front courtyard of the inn, asked for a private room on the second floor, looked at Shouhu on the railing, and called the most expensive mattress without surprise.
The southern diet is indeed unique. Grey substances such as sour duck sauce meat can also make a light feeling. A green bud next to the plate has a sense of elegance, while light substances such as tofu and vegetables are stained with thick sauce.
With a few pots of fruit wine, it is really pleasant to the eyes and mouth.
Ning Que and Sangsang were having fun eating, and suddenly heard some noisy sounds coming from the lakeside downstairs. Someone was discussing something that happened today, and their tone was quite annoyed and dissatisfied.
Ning Que listened quietly for a while, asked the servant to call the shopkeeper, threw a ingot of silver over in a very luxurious manner, and then found out what he wanted to inquire about.
"What a great event is it for Mr. Cui to celebrate his 100th birthday? Even His Majesty the Emperor wrote a congratulatory speech with his own hands, and asked the Minister of Rites to bring him to celebrate his birthday. The Xiling Temple also sent someone, which was the General of Zhenxi.
Xian Zhilang, that's my Tang Dynasty's general... Such a person rushed to Fuchun River Chengyuan to visit the old lady without resting after entering Yangguan. What do you think Hongxiuzhao is? He dares to be so rude."
The shopkeeper said, it was obvious that he was really unhappy.
Ning Que then realized that the next day was the 100th birthday of the old man Cui's family in Qinghe County. Perhaps the surname Cui thought that Hongxiuzhao was rare to go to Chang'an City, so he invited him to a birthday party to enjoy the fun with singing and dancing, but it seemed that there appeared in the middle.
Some problems were found.
...
...
The major surnames of Qinghe County have lasted for thousands of years and have even grown up in the Tang Dynasty. They have always been highly respected by the world. Except for the Zhong surname, the other surnames do not live in Yangguan City, but in the manor on the banks of the Fuchun River.
The famous gardens on both sides of the Chunjiang River silently prove the heritage and power of these clans.
It is recognized by the world that the surnames of Qinghe County are headed by the Cui clan of Ruyang.
Cui started in Ruyangzhou.
Thousands of years ago, when the Tang Dynasty was founded, the Cui family resolutely turned to Chang'an City despite the opposition of other clans, and agreed to the incorporation of Qinghe County into the Tang Dynasty. Although it was more due to the terrifying pressure from Emperor Taizu of the Tang Dynasty, Cui's
Persistence was proven to be extremely wise afterwards-the surnames of Qinghe County survived, and gained the favor of Emperor Taizu and won a lot of convenience. The so-called families of thousands of generations that dared to ignore Emperor Taizu were eventually lost.
The tragic end of the family is broken and the family is destroyed.
In the subsequent history, the Cui family contributed a total of five queens to the Tang Dynasty. In other words, the emperor in the Chang'an City Palace must also have the bloodline of the Cui family. In addition, it is even more awesome.
Yes, Cui also contributed two great priests to the Xiling Temple.
Today, the Cui family is still strong and unattainable. Old Mrs. Cui, who is about to spend his 100 years, once served as prime minister. Under the deliberate suppression of the royal family and civil and military officials, officials from various surnames from Qinghe County,
It is the first time in nearly three hundred years that he was able to become the first civil servant. With this alone, you can imagine how much this old lady Cui wanted.
Many years ago, Mrs. Cui returned to his old age as prime minister. Later, his second son served as a minister of the Ministry of Personnel. Now he has resigned and traveled all day long in the manor in Fuchunjiang. He still stayed in the Chang'an City court to be an official.
He is already the third generation eldest grandson of Cui's family, and has also become the Shaoqing of Dali Temple.
Such a person's 100th birthday can naturally bear the congratulations of His Majesty himself, and the Minister of Rites comes in person. Many officials in the court even speculated that if it were not for the implementation of the subsequent national policy, His Majesty's reward might have been even more.
It's better to heavier.
Now that Hongxiuzhao may anger, it is such a super clan.
