Dressed as a man with the eldest son

57

Nan Ruo was not surprised that the prince knew his birthday. If the birthdays of the companions before the age of ten happened to be in the palace, there would be a small table in the dining room.

Dayan pays attention to "fourteen and ten" birthdays, which means that it must be held every year before the age of ten and after the age of forty. Before the age of ten, it is celebrated with family and friends. Those who are famous have more fanfare to show their filial piety.

As for the age between ten and forty, it depends on the individual. You can celebrate or not, or you can follow the specific customs of each place. For example, it is customary in Beijing to get up early on your birthday and eat a bowl of longevity noodles.

Nan Ruo and Xiao Ruogu should have the same birthday, but in his previous life he was used to birthdays in the solar calendar. If counting the lunar calendar, it should be the thirteenth day of November. He really forgot the thirteenth day, but I asked him on the fourth day of the second day, but that For a few days, everyone was injured, and he went out to investigate and investigate, but he kept silent.

Unexpectedly, the prince would remember to make him a bowl of longevity noodles.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Even if it's just to win people's hearts, being able to remember such small details is enough to move people's hearts. According to the thinking of this world, the lord is so sympathetic to his courtiers.

After being grateful, he hurriedly said with guilt: "I actually forgot that today is His Highness's birthday, and I didn't prepare a congratulatory gift. I am really ashamed."

He really forgot, probably because Empress Fu died shortly after the crown prince's birthday, since Empress Fu left, the crown prince has never celebrated his birthday, maybe he will get together with Fu Zhuo privately, but Xiao Ruogu was not qualified in the past Those who participated, over time, forgot about the prince's birthday.

"It doesn't matter." The crown prince smiled, and seemed to be in a good mood today, and said slightly jokingly, "Gu also never prepared a congratulatory gift for you, so it's even."

Fu Zhuo and Pei Dinggao also helped him out: "We are not prepared either, we owe it, His Highness and Brother Gu both owe it, next time each will give a big gift."

"Okay, I'll wait." Nan Ruo said with a smile.

Several people chatted and laughed, and dispelled the depression of the past two days. The prince said: "After breakfast, I will take you out for a walk. It is rare to come to the south of the Yangtze River. I don't know when the next time will be. I should take advantage of it." Don’t think too much about it at this time.”

The three of them responded naturally.

The prince kept his word, and took them out of the city after breakfast, with a clear purpose, heading straight to the most famous scenic spot here - Wangbo Tower.

Wangbo Tower is built on the high ground of the river bank, not counting the foundation, the single building is 50 meters high. When you come down and look up, you can see the towering buildings. Even though you are used to seeing high-rise buildings with [-] or [-] floors in your previous life, Nan Ruo was still shocked I realize that construction in this world is not as convenient as it is in modern times, and I don't know how much manpower and material resources were spent in the construction.

Because the prince was coming, the Wangbo Tower had already been cleared, and the prince led everyone up to the highest point while watching the pavilion.

As soon as I went up, I saw a line of words carved on the wall facing them: the sunset and the lone duck fly together, and the autumn water is the same color as the sky.

Nan Ruo's expression was subtle for a moment.

Needless to say, it is another masterpiece of Empress Zheng, only these two paragraphs were not written by her, the first half sentence is written by Emperor Yongzhao, and the second half sentence is written by Rong Xiang.

When Empress Zheng unlocked the map of Jiangnan, she also came to Wangbo Tower like them, and read this sentence here, which made everyone present applaud and applaud.

The talented girl Zheng Fan'er wrote it, and it was written by the prince and the talented man. At that time, the chief envoy of Ning'an immediately asked people to engrave and keep this sentence. It is precious, and almost everyone who comes to climb the stairs must come to pay their respects.

They are no exception.

The crown prince took the lead to look at it for a while, then said lightly: "It's a pity that in the winter now, I can't see the scenery of sunset and autumn water."

Fu Zhuo curled his lips at the carving.

Pei Dinggao was eager to try and turned his head outward: "I think there will be something special in winter, let's go and have a look."

Nan Ruo really wasn't in the mood to talk about the scene this time, so he only echoed Pei Dinggao twice.

The prince led a few people to stand on the railing, admiring the beautiful scenery under his feet.

Although there is no sunset or lonely bird, you can enjoy a good view from a high altitude.

Nan Ruo looked at the endless river, the end of which was connected to the sky, and the mountains in the distance were undulating, and the whole person seemed to open up.

He somewhat understood why the ancients liked to climb high and look far away. The magnificence and insignificance that caught the eye were too easy to make people feel heroic and ambitious. For a moment, he felt that his troubles and sorrows were completely worthless.

He couldn't help turning his head to look at the prince, this was the real purpose of bringing them to Wangbo Tower.

The prince stared into the distance, seeming to be deeply immersed in the beautiful scenery, with a high nose bridge and a well-defined jaw that looked stern and resolute.

Nan Ruo felt a touch of tenderness.

The prince usually looks mature and stable, but in fact he still has the stubbornness and simplicity of a young man, which is particularly obvious in terms of outsiders and his own people, and he is cold and impatient with outsiders, even moody.

But for his own people, he is worried and caring, and the boundaries are so clear that he is a bit childish. If you don't play with me, I don't want to talk to you. If you play with me, I will treat you as you treat me.

Like soft chocolate, it looks hard on the outside and hard to get close to, but it is unexpectedly soft and easy to talk to inside.

"Your Highness Lao has taken care of us." He quietly moved to the prince's side and said softly.

The prince turned to look at him and smiled: "You feel better?"

"Well, it's much better." Nan Qiao nodded crisply, not hiding his emotions, "The sky is high and the river is wide, which makes people feel at ease. Where's Your Highness?"

He boldly showed straightforward concern: "Is Your Highness in a better mood?"

The prince glanced at him in surprise, and didn't blame him for his almost transgressive behavior. Following his example just now, he nodded seriously: "It's much better."

Nan Ruo just wanted to say that's fine, but it took a while to realize that the prince was imitating him, a little surprised and a little funny, and subconsciously put on a straight face: "Your Highness."

The prince just laughed, as if making him angry was a very interesting thing.

Nan Ruo really wanted to roll his eyes at this kind of elementary school student's behavior, but whoever called him a prince could only look at him and silently condemn him.

The prince coughed lightly and stopped laughing: "Gu didn't mean it, it's just..." I just thought it was very interesting that his stern face looked like a child pretending to be an adult.

Nan Ruo didn't explain it was useless, but could only say helplessly: "It's my honor to be able to make His Highness laugh."

The crown prince looked at his expression, saw that he was not really angry, he was relieved for some reason, and changed the subject: "Yang Tao's funeral is in the afternoon, Mrs. Yang doesn't want to make it public, let's go quietly..."

Nan Ruo was distracted.

Yang Tao had been buried in Yizhuang before, but now that he was wronged, Mrs. Yang asked Zhang Luo to hold a funeral for him. The younger sister who married, he started from farming and studying, and doesn't have any big family.

Mrs. Yang made the decision to bury Yang Tao here, and let him look at the place he gave his life for.

The two were chatting side by side, not far away, Fu Zhuo took the exchange between the two into his eyes, thoughtful.

After visiting the Wangbo Tower, they stopped by to taste the famous whole fish feast in Ning'an. The beautiful scenery and delicacies soothed everyone's wounded hearts.

After eating, go directly to worship Yang Tao.

Mrs. Yang chose the tomb in the mountains. The direction facing the tombstone happened to be able to bring the whole city into her eyes.

She knelt in front of the tomb and burned the imperial edict she had handwritten to Yang Tao, while the three children knelt beside her and burned paper for her father while wiping away tears.

Nan Ruo took a deep breath, hiding the heat in his eyes.

It has to be said that Yang Tao gave him a great shock.

He had to admit that before that, he didn't have a good sense of officials in this world. The ancient officials he knew were basically associated with corruption and perverting the law. It seems that there is no one who is not greedy for three years.

The word "clothes and beasts" comes from them. The robes of civil officials are embroidered with birds, and the robes of military officials are embroidered with beasts.

Although he understands that this is not the case after time travelling, the officials in the capital give him the feeling that most of them are floating high in the clouds. There is a very strong class distinction between the officials and the people, like two "species". The same is true between officials and officials, the high ones look down on the low ones.

So someone like Lu Chengjian who did nothing and did not take the initiative to oppress the people could already be called a good official, but it was his inaction that made Yang Tao have nowhere to ask for help and chose to commit suicide.

But there are also good officials like Yang Tao who truly care for the people.

It's just that the official's fate was too tragic.

Nan Ruo didn't want another Yang Tao to appear, he hoped that if such a thing happened again one day, he could protect them.

So what about Jinyiwei? Was Jinyiwei established to do evil?Just like when the emperor appointed hundreds of officials at the beginning, was it to make them corrupt?

Nan Ruo clenched the knife at his waist, and at this moment he had a very clear goal in his heart.

After the worship, the group was ready to leave for Beijing. Mrs. Yang and the three children had to observe filial piety. They would return to Beijing after the filial piety period. Only Jiang Yunniang would go with them. In fact, she herself did not want to leave Ning'an for the capital, but the queen summoned her I have to go.

Nan Ruo probably understood what Empress Zheng wanted to do, it was nothing more than to recruit talents. Although Dayan was open to the people, it was still difficult for women to come out. Many "rebel" women were talents in the eyes of Empress Zheng. It's like a Lun sound.

For example, Princess Baoshou married to the grassland in the past. At that time, the grassland had not settled down because of wool and milk, and even the royal family was quite chaotic. It was Empress Zheng who gave her advice, so that she would no longer be troubled, and she had great determination. went.

So he had no intention of reminding Jiang Yunniang that maybe in front of Empress Zheng, a few words would make her willing to work for her, and turned around and let out all he said.

Because of Emperor Yongzhao's urgent call, the prince could not delay, so he took the same boat as when he came.

Nan Ruo guessed that he didn't want the prince to travel overland to show his fame. It's not difficult to understand the emperor who is about to leave his prime and the prince who has grown up.

In order not to affect the common people with much fanfare, the luggage had already been loaded onto the boat, and the group drove to the pier in a low-key carriage.

Nan Ruo and Fu Zhuo Pei Dinggao were riding in a carriage, suddenly Pei Dinggao tugged at their sleeves: "Look!"

If Nan Ruo opened the curtain, someone was burning paper at the intersection, no, every household was burning paper, for Yang Tao!

Pei Dinggao wiped away his tears and laughed.

Nan Ruo looked at the wall of the city that was gradually going away, and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

Jiangnan, he will definitely come back again!
