【177】Summer
Speaking of which, it is considered that the Duke of Xiangguo Mansion is lucky. The empress dowager has a long life of seventy years, and the banquet of thousands of women has come out. It is certain that the amnesty of the world is certain. Of course, if the lucky one is lucky, it is not just the Duke of Xiangguo Mansion.
However, for some people, they would not feel lucky at all. What they saw was the collapse of the Duke of Xiangguo's mansion, and the glory of the past no longer existed. They were high above them, until they fell into dust, they were all ridiculed and ridiculed, they were dressed in luxury, and they were eaten with savors and vegetables. The difference was too big, and perhaps some people could not accept it at all and went crazy to death.
And those who would not be implicated by the Duke of Xiangguo, but who need to rely on the Duke of Xiangguo as their own, probably would also be the same as those who would be snatching the sky and the earth.
In this case, what is the difference between the "useless" Duke Xiangguo and his son who died or exiled?
These things have not happened yet, but Wei Tingyu has already predicted the ending.
In fact, it is true that after the evidence was taken back, Liang Ming was thrown aside. Even if he shouted in prison that he was wronged and framed. He was severely punished before because he was worried about involving Li Ruoshui, he refused to tell the origin of the book. No one paid attention to him. After all, the word "rebellion" is completely different from the nature of the conclusive evidence to kill the people and take the opportunity to rob and fill his personal pockets.
In the former, Emperor Xuanren was at most angry that the imperial power was provoked. He had basically figured out what was going on in the Xiangguo Duke's Mansion. He didn't believe it if he was treasonable and had a bad intention. However, he still had to punish those who should be punished. If he took it lightly, others followed suit and despised the imperial power and came out to jump around from time to time, then where was the majesty?
In the end, Duke Xiangguo might be demoted, rather than robbed. Liang Ming would not escape the blame, and his father would also be implicated. Others would not be affected too much. - Emperor Xuanren should consider what to do.
The situation of the latter was completely different. After Emperor Xuanren saw it, Thunder Ting was furious, his face was gloomy, and the people who were close to him did not dare to breathe. He has always been kind to the people, and disasters among the people have always been his most important thing. Under such circumstances, his ministers dared to do something that was inhumane and crazy. No matter how much credit or what his ancestors have, they will never give up!
"Examine, immediately, strictly examine!"
The good mood for the festival is completely gone. In previous years, I would occasionally go out to the palace to have fun with the people or hold banquets to entertain the ministers. This time, nothing is gone. So I would just reward what I should have been rewarded yesterday. Otherwise, without reward, it would be equivalent to "less favor". The Duke of Xiangguo's Mansion should be hated by many people.
So, the real Trial of the Three Divisions began. Whether it was the Minister of Justice or the Minister of the Dali Temple, those who did not participate in this incident appeared. When Duke Xiangguo was escorted out of the cell, he felt a thrill when he saw the scene, and it was over!
At this time, Li Ruoshui, who came out of prison, was still thinking about how to enter the Xiangguo Duke's Mansion. The Xiangguo Duke's Mansion was blocked and allowed to enter or leave. It was targeted at the people in the mansion, and it was not allowed to enter.
After thinking for a long time, I had no idea, so I prepared to go over and see if I could act according to the opportunity. However, the Xiangguo Duke Mansion, which was originally guarded by a few doors, was completely surrounded. The servants who could go out to buy were bombarded back. The people outside had a little bit of approaching and would be targeted immediately. Li Ruoshui pretended to leave as if nothing had happened, but his heart was pounding and panicking. What's going on? What happened? Is there something happened in just a short time?
When Li Ruoshui thought of the study mentioned by his grandfather, could it be related to that?
Thinking of this possibility, I urged the coachman to leave quickly and leave quickly, but I still wanted to help, and I wish I could get farther away, as better.
Only a few people know about this, so naturally it will not affect their happy holiday.
Except for Wen Renxiang, who was still in a jailed place, the rest of the Wen Renxiang was dispatched, including Mrs. Wen Renren. This is really rare. For the people in the big house, the only shortcoming is probably that the four of Wen Renxu and the others were missing.
But this doesn't have much hindrance.
As for Dragon Boat Festival, this dragon boat racing is definitely the most indispensable program.
The huge Tianshui Lake was divided into countless areas. Not only the high-ranking officials and nobles took out dragon boats. Ordinary officials, even merchants and ordinary people could organize dragon boat races. This was only after Emperor Xuanren ascended the throne. You must know that in the past, the dragon boat races in Tianshui Lake were just programs for upper-class people. Not to mention merchants and the common people, even ordinary officials could only watch and join in the fun.
Because Emperor Xuanren implemented the purpose of "joy with the people", he drew areas to let the people participate, and he had no money to make dragon boats? It doesn't matter, he paid for the entire imperial city and divided the entire imperial city into areas. Each area had dragon boats, and of course he could also make it together by himself. The competitions were held between regions, and the winning ones were also set by the imperial court.
Not only that, upper-level people can also watch events that ordinary people prevent. I don’t know which year it started, but because the young master of a certain family enjoyed watching it, he gave a large reward at once.
For ordinary people, what else is more "stimulating" than this?
As a result, the folk competitions became more and more exciting, and everyone tried their best. Not only did they want to win the first place, but they also played various tricks just to attract more attention. - If they were favored by noble people, even if they were the last place in the competition, they would not be the most rewarding.
Fortunately, large areas are divided above the small areas, and the divided large areas are basically based on the "four cities outside" and "four cities inside". Each large area wins the top three, which is a fixed reward given by the court. The eight firsts will compete again, and the top three will be won, and the reward will be increased tenfold directly.
Xiaocao had known that the Dragon Boat Festival in the imperial city was very lively, and she wanted to come and see it in the first two years. However, it was really crowded and it was deterrent to look at it. She was alone again, so she finally chose to leave.
This year is different. Even if there are many privileged people, who has made the area big enough, this place has no best location, and the other places can always have the best viewing area.
The entire Zhouqunshan is close to Tianshui Lake, and there are also people everywhere. Therefore, many traces of hand-carved and many pavilions densely populated elsewhere are really a waste of money and manpower.
Xiaocao really felt the lively atmosphere. Although the class was still distinct in a small area, the entire environment and class seemed to be blurred. Wherever he went, it seemed that he was cheering with tsunamis.
In the past life, a country with a large flower planting country should not have too many people. During holidays, the tourist areas were crowded with people and passed by one after another. It must be not that exaggerated now, but it really tastes so familiar and nostalgic.
So Xiaocao had a lot of fun all day long. Even if the dragon boat race was over, it could not stop her from watching or even participating in other activities. Then, not only Wen Renying, but also Wen Renren's brothers and sisters, all saw Xiaocao's terrifying physical strength, and the others were exhausted and paralyzed. The people around her had changed wave after wave, and she was still full of energy. Even though she was relatively hot for a few years, she had already seen sweat on her body, but Xiaocao was still refreshing...
It is rare that she has such a great playfulness, so she can play happily. However, because there are many people today, if no one around you is worried about being unsafe, if it is just a servant, it is not a good thing to let other brothers and sisters accompany you. They are not unhappy, they are just really tired!
No one said anything. Ge looked at his son's flushed face and had an objection, "Why is a good girl's house so crazy and wild? Do you know how to write the word Zhenjing? I'd forget it before, but I still don't have any sense now..."
Perhaps because of the last incident, although it was not a complete breakdown, Ge was not as restrained as before. Perhaps in her opinion, no matter what, Han must give her what she deserves, and even if she respects her too well, she will not give her more benefits. So why do you have to be humble?
"What about girl Xuan? It's your turn to be an aunt to take care of her. If you don't want to stay, go back. No one insists on keeping you." The old lady glanced at her and spoke indifferently.
If it were someone else, Ge might still dare to talk back, but when facing the old lady, she could only shut up obediently.
The old lady spoke up for other people who were annoyed by Ge's words and said nothing, but the look at Ge's eyes clearly showed a bit of badness, especially Han, which was a bit of cool in this May day.
They are temporarily settled in Guanyin Temple. It's already afternoon, and there are already a few people who haven't returned yet, so there are basically no one here. The man led by Wenren Taibo is on the other side. Wenren Taibo is playing chess with his fifth brother and passing the time. The younger brother and sister are women. He is the eldest uncle, so naturally he can't say anything. He just glanced at his fourth brother Wenren Ji Li.
Wenren Ji Li also looked at Wenren Taibo almost at the same time. But at one glance, he quickly looked away and was secretly annoyed in his heart. That idiot Ge, if he was stupid, he would be too stupid, and he would still be tired of him. He would live with him without hesitation and rely on his brother to live his life. If he was angry one day, he would just give them up and give them apart, what other good days would they have?
Don’t say that parents don’t separate their families. When my father passed away, my mother proposed to split up the family. Because my elder brother did not agree, I always lived under the same roof. However, only the brothers and sister-in-law knew about this.
In comparison, Wen's fifth master, who is in his thirties, looks a little careless. He twists the chess piece in his hand, glances around, and then smiles, as if he is watching some fun, like a person who is wandering outside this big family.
There are the most children in the fourth room, but Ge only has one son. This young master Xingqi is better than his father's romantic and fickleness and short-sightedness. This child is actually quite simple and kind. Although he is tired today, he actually has a great time having fun. After all, he is the only child and he is very strict with him. Even if he comes back from the academy on weekdays, he is still locked up in the room and studying most of the time.
Therefore, it was a bit embarrassing to listen to her mother's words, but he couldn't say anything with so many people.
Everyone in the family is very good, and the fourth sister is also very good. Why is he so sad... sighing helplessly in his heart.
After this little episode, Xiaocao came back not long after. As the sister with the best relationship, Wen Renying "sacrificed herself to accompany her sister" for the second time, but it was basically hung on Xiaocao.
Xiaocao pinched her face, "I told you not to follow me, I wouldn't believe it."
Wen Renying spread her on her and didn't want to talk. Xiaocao didn't know that everyone was waiting for her. But when she saw everyone there, she thought they were all playing with each other, but she gathered one step earlier than her, and she was still a little embarrassed, "Look, we are the last one to come back, I've been waiting for a long time."
Ge opened his mouth and was about to say something. Han was very prescient and cold-eyed, and it was obvious that it was not good at writing. Ge was still frightened and swallowed the words to his mouth.
When Han looked at his daughter, he smiled lovingly, "It's not long before we take a break. Xuan'er, you guys have a rest, we'll go back when we're almost done."
Xiaocao nodded, "Okay."
Xiaocao went to update her clothes, and she didn't need to rest, so she stayed for about a quarter of an hour and was about to go home. On the way back, she still talked and laughed, which made Wen Renying feel that her fourth sister really liked the unrestrained outside.
However, after returning home, he couldn't laugh because the servants reported that Wen Renxiang, the sixth girl from their family, also went out after everyone went out. Because she asked the maid to help, the mother guarding the door didn't have time to stop her. Moreover, she was a lady from a family, and she had a maid next to her.
Another maid who helped her stop the doorman's wife, knelt in front of everyone, and her body couldn't help but tremble, "The girl said that she would be back in at most an hour, but now..."
One hour? If they really walked away, she would go out, and it would be almost four hours.
"What did she do?" Zhang asked sternly with a dark face as his legitimate mother.
"The girl said, go find my future son-in-law."
Taking a maid secretly to find her fiancé? Not to mention whether this is what a lady from a family should do. Who doesn’t know that Wen’s family is actually very dissatisfied with her fiancé. Even if she has the opportunity to meet and talk openly, she seems very perfunctory and went to find her fiancé alone? What a scam!
"Send someone to find it, don't say goodbye," Han said, pausing a little, "Let's go and inquire about the movements of Duke Zhang Chengen's mansion first."
In fact, Han refers to Zhang Junliang, and he just puts it more tactfully, and he doesn't give Wen Renxiang any more.
