Qingzhou trip

Fan Heng, a member of the Ministry of Rituals, applied for a military post for half a year, but was beaten and scolded by his father Fan Shucheng and gave up the idea: since the peace of the dynasty, civil servants who ran military officials were often looked down upon. Get promoted quickly.On the contrary, it is absolutely impossible for military officers to be elected as civil servants.This shows the disparity in the status of Wen Xuanguan and Wu Xuanguan.

Fan Heng was born as a Jinshi, so he could have been released as a county magistrate, and after three or five years, he would be transferred back to the capital to enter the Academy or serve as a judge in Dali.Ever since it was reported that the palace intends to match up his marriage with King Jin Zhao Yifang, he has obviously looked down on seventh-rank Beijing officials, and his eyes have long been high on the two courts.

In the three-storey Fengle Building in Beijing, which can accommodate thousands of drinkers, Fan Heng, who was drunk that day, talked about the marriage with his friends, and chanted proudly about "winning the brocade" as soon as his head got hot. , Who knew that he ran directly into the entrance of the Palace of the King of Hell——Fengle Tower Flying Bridge is connected to the sill, and diagonally opposite is King Jin drinking and talking with someone.

Fan Heng still remembered the daughter's family who was full of youth in her almond eyes, and knocked on the door with a smile and asked, "Duojin Emperor's disciple refers to the Emperor's disciple who is still married to Jin Wang Zhao Yifang?"

"Naturally." Fan Heng fell in love with the woman in front of him at the first glance, and thought of the blessing of Qi Ren for an instant.

"Then how should I be punished for humiliating the emperor in front of the law and falsely expressing my wishes?" The woman raised her chin slightly, and stretched out her palm to the person behind her. The palm was rosy and light, and each fingertip was flowing with pure white and refined light. .When Fan Heng's eyes were glued, the woman was already holding the whip in her hand, "When the whip is twenty, it will flow to Qiongzhou." After her red lips parted slightly, the woman's whip had already been thrown directly at Fan Heng's leg, "Don't bother Kaifeng Governor, my king!" Finish it yourself."

A scholar who spends day and night in the nephrite jade has never seen such a battle, Fan Heng already knew that the woman in front of him was Zhao Yifang, so he had to run and hide while begging for mercy.After being thrown over two flying bridges, he was whipped several times in a row, his back was torn apart, and when he jumped over the bridge railing in a panic, he stepped on the ground and fell to the north of Yujie.When people watched with a broken leg and one arm each, Zhao Yifang came down from Fengle Building and walked directly to him, bending over and shaking his whip, "Twelve whips short."

At that moment, Fan Heng finally saw the cold and angry look in her eyes, "Lord Fan, the wine helps you to have fun. You can just talk and laugh about anecdotes in Beijing. It is a serious crime to count on this king. You are young and vigorous, and you Wang Gunian, you are a newly promoted Jinshi, so for your father's sake, you will not report to the official."

The disaster caused by one sentence caused him to miss the opportunity to join the Imperial Academy, and made his usually arrogant father Fan Shucheng personally go to the Jin Palace to apologize - Fan Shucheng wanted to go to the palace to accuse Jin Wang of hurting others, but was arrested. The emperor stopped back with one sentence, "Someone in the palace made a joke without understanding, how did it reach Fan Heng's ears?"

Fan Heng asked for the dumbness, and he had to swallow it all.But this one swallowed his anger, but gave birth to lovesickness.Fearing that joining the army would be hopeless, he squeezed his way into the Ministry of Rites and was promoted to a sixth-rank Yuanwailang. This was sold by the emperor, and he gave Fan Shucheng a step to appease him.

Fan Heng honestly followed Mr. Liao from the capital to Shahai, never mentioning the absurd youth.But my heart has been itching to find a chance to see King Jin again.

King Jin noticed him when he saw the officials escorting the old coins, but he glanced indifferently, and didn't give him half a look.He is not qualified to climb high on the city wall and look far away, so he can only wait at the foot of the wall.

After waiting for an hour, the transfer envoys and envoys Chengxuan first left the city tower to rest.After more than half an hour, he stomped his feet and breathed out before seeing the face that he had been thinking about for countless nights.

Zhao Yifang walked ahead in a cloak, and no one followed behind except for a female county magistrate in a seventh-rank green robe.Fan Heng stepped forward to join in the fun, but saw Zhao Yifang turned her head and glanced behind her.He was stunned in place, and the courage he had accumulated for several days was dried by that look.

It turns out that King Jin treats women very differently from men, and his eyes are so tender.

The female county magistrate looked stern and upright, she lowered her head and stayed half a step beside King Jin.King Jin seemed to mutter something, and the female magistrate nodded in agreement.The two took the reins of the horse from others, stepped on and walked west leisurely.

"The ring cakes from Liu Erniang's family, the fried meat from Sun's family, and the crispy crystal carp from the Hu's shop next door... I want to eat all of these." Zhao Yifang shook her tongue for a moment, and Xie Penglai's money lost a bit. .

"Okay." She could only nod, "I bought them all from Erniang Liu's shop?"

"How can it be done? I don't like being watched and eaten. Go to Master Xie's house to eat and drink enough, and then listen to your lectures. Tonight's dinner will be hosted by Chengxuan envoys and all transfer envoys. I'm afraid I won't be able to eat well Yes." Zhao Yifang gave Xie Penglai an angry look, "Your house is clean." At this moment, she didn't care about the cold tea on the stove and the empty rooms.

The two walked to the stone alley to the west, Zhao Yifang waited on horseback at the entrance of the alley, keeping his eyes on Xie Penglai's figure.

Xie Penglai greeted Liu Erniang first, took out a purse from his sleeve, counted dozens of coins, and handed it over, "Fried until crispy." King Jin seemed to like the texture.

Then I stepped into the Hu's shop, and after a while, I picked up the Disu crystal carp and weighed it in my hand, feeling that the store gave a lot.Xie Penglai took out some copper coins to the Hu family, "It's not easy to do a small business, no matter how polite Mrs. Hu is, Xie won't dare to come and eat." She laughed.

The Hu family accepted it with a smile, and the meat next door had been drained and wrapped in two layers of greased paper.Xie Penglai held the meat in one hand and the hot ring cake in the other, and walked quickly all the way to the entrance of the alley without losing his dignity as a scholar.Seeing that Jin Wang, who was still riding a horse just now, was already standing by the roadside, the two horses were probably taken away first.

Taking the bag of meat from Xie Penglai, seeing her struggling to hold back after being so scalded, Zhao Yifang held back a smile, stretched out her hand and tore a small piece into her mouth to chew, the burnt aroma was crisp and just right She said, "It's best served with porridge."

"The sorghum porridge is still warming in the pot at home. You can use it with it if your Highness doesn't mind it." Xie Penglai was reluctant to wrap the cake with his official robe, and kept moving his hands from side to side, "It's hot, just... later Just fine."

Zhao Yifang took off her cloak and wrapped the cake directly, and said with a smile, "Master Xie's porridge must be delicious, so it won't be hot."

The two looked at each other with a smile and walked away slowly. Fan Heng leaned against the distance and let out a sigh of relief.A guess made his heart beat "puff puff", and he went back to the official post restlessly, where he sat in the corridor with a heavy heart.The Zhao Yifang I saw just now was not the cold and domineering appearance in the capital that day, but more like a young girl who just fell in love.

Jin Wang is now twenty-two, long past the age of marriage.There are endless rumors about her mansion, and there are no less than seven or eight face-faced teenagers hidden in the mansion.But it is unheard of to have a relationship with a daughter's family.

Wiping off the cold sweat on his head, Fan Heng decided to hold back, and asked the two fellow bosses sideways.When his attendants urged him to change his clothes and prepare to go to King Jin's mansion, Fan Heng realized that he had spent the whole day on King Jin.

Mr. Liao was clever about the accident. Before entering the palace, he had prepared the most famous "Nanrenhe" wine in Beijing.In addition to preparing the banquet, King Jin’s Mansion also invited people from the Flower Alley to play and play. Except for Liu Qinsang who was still immersed in the "pain of bereavement" but had no way to avenge his grievances, everyone who caught his eye was drawn to the banquet hall Waiting outside.

The guests were all dedicated, and after the opening ceremony, Mr. Liao and others talked about the importance Beijing attaches to this year's coin handover.From the increased taxes on Liangzhe Road to the floods on Jingdong Road.While drinking good wine, listening to Hu Qiang and Han tunes, watching Zhe Zhi Wu.Although this place is far from the gold and silver brilliance of the royal family in Beijing, and the aristocratic style, King Jin, who is willing to live in the sand sea, does not have the extravagant attitude of other nobles.She looked left and right with her eyes, and she didn't speak much but said something.

Some civil servants began to criticize current affairs or praise peace after their tempers were exposed, but she just laughed and said nothing.Although the banquet was lively, King Jin was as quiet as water.

Fan Heng, who was sitting at the last seat, facing Xie Penglai, the magistrate of Shahai County, had a deep resentment in his stomach, and his eyes were full of emotion.It's a pity that Jin Wang only glanced at the people on his side, and he seemed very interested in listening to the music and watching the dance.Apricot eyes turned, and occasionally landed on Xie Penglai, and then turned to Master Liao, the envoy of Chengxuan, and Zou Shiyan, the envoy of transport.

His father, Fan Shucheng, once reprimanded Fan Heng, "King Jin is a person who has no wind and three feet of waves. If you mess with her, you don't think about whether you are qualified or not? They beat you to pieces. Come to the door to make amends and laugh, and thank her for not bringing this matter to the Kaifeng mansion to save some kindness."

Fan Heng listened to the Qiang song and peeked at King Jin, suddenly felt that she had a spring breeze on her face, with beautiful features and a graceful figure.It's worth it even if you get whipped and broken bones if you get attached to her.But he has worked so hard to get to the sand sea, but he can't get King Jin to look at him seriously.Thinking of this, and adding two more pots of "Nan Renhe", Fan Heng got carried away and depressed, so he raised his glass unsteadily and stood up to face King Jin, "Member of the Ministry of Rites...Fan Heng, I wish you the best of luck!" Your Highness is rich and honored in Changchun, and married early... the current princes are all married, and I hope that King Jin will choose a good son-in-law and the people will be safe..."

In the capital, Zhao Yifang was forced to marry by all kinds of people, playing nothing more than the banner of "royal face" or "popular popularity".When we arrived in Shahai, no one dared to mention it, but we ran into Yuanwailang who was self-righteous after drinking too much.

"Since ancient times, women have cared for their husbands and taught their children, and the royal relatives and nobles have also set an example for the world. Our ancestors were lenient and did not reject talents based on the constraints of men and women. Just now there are some heroines among women such as Shang Wang and Bai Zhi. Filial piety and kindness to human relations can be beautiful..." Fan Heng's thoughts of rotten Confucianism were all urged by "Nan Renhe". He spoke impassionedly, and Master Liao was restless when he heard it. Only Zou Shiyan's aniseed beard was chuckled and returned quickly .

No matter how noble Zhao Yifang is, she is still a woman.Even if her own brother ascends to the throne in the future, she cannot escape the fate of marrying and having children.So what if he hid in the sand sea and commanded the party?God beat her to set a path from the moment she was born.Zou Shiyan looked at King Jin out of the corner of his eyes, and saw that she was sullen, but she seemed to be playing with the cups and pots with her fingers in a nonchalant manner.You can get angry and take someone in a moment, but I'm afraid the reason is still in the belly.

At this time, a calm female voice stopped Fan Heng who lost his face, "Master Fan is drunk, why don't you help him to rest in the north wing?"

Hearing the angry Ren Wu, he reacted, and someone carried Fan Heng down to rest.Fan Heng is not willing, he is still muttering, "Your Highness, think twice, the relationship between heaven, earth and human beings, Yin and Yang are different and cannot be reversed..."

"Wait." The female voice came again, and it was Xie Penglai who jumped up from the table.She walked up to Fan Heng with a jug of wine, and suddenly poured the wine on his face, "Deliberate over the ranks, spread rumors, make ugly and evil words." Fan Heng looked at her blankly after waking up.

Xie Penglai paid homage to King Jin again, "The lower officials thought that the delivery of New Year's Coins might lose face to the imperial court because of the behavior of the member of the Ministry of Rites, Wailang. The lower officials decided to participate in the performance of Yuan Wailang, and asked two adults to testify."

Of course Master Liao knew that Xie Penglai's move was helping him to excuse himself, he frowned coldly and said to Fan Heng, "I also feel that something is wrong with Master Fan's disrespect." After finishing speaking, he looked at Zou Shiyan who was waiting to see the joke.Zou Shiyan's old father-in-law lives in the East Mansion Zhongshu Gate, and has no close acquaintance with the Privy Council of the West Mansion.After he twirled his beard and muttered, "It's not right, but it's the critical moment of delivery, and it's too late to wait for the submission."

"I have a copy of the ginseng." King Jin suddenly let go of his fingers that were clenched on the wine glass because of his anger, "Yuan Wai Lang waits for the court to make a decision. He will not be used for the delivery, and Master Liao will recommend someone to take the top." She patted her sleeves with a smile, "I will go to rest first, and the adults will use it slowly."

On the other end, Ren Wu yelled at the people who came from Huaxiang, "Whoever dares to miss a word about what happened tonight will just wait to be served in prison, do you hear me?" His voice was powerful and full of evil spirit.Everyone present except Xie Penglai was shocked when they heard this.

The guests went as they wished, and the host lost interest, Master Liao and the others said goodbye politely, but no one dared to mention Fan Heng to ask for mercy.

Xie Penglai saw that she was the only one left in the full house, and saw Ren Wu give him a wink, he nodded and followed King Jin's footsteps.

Returning to the study, King Jin had already taken off only his shirt, walking barefoot on the ground still couldn't dissipate heat.She blushed with anger, and suddenly stopped when she heard the voice outside, "Don't come in!" After that, a bottle of porcelain crane was thrown out.

Xie Penglai took a step back to avoid it, and shook his head at Li Mo in front of the door.She thought for a while and called out, "Your Highness?"

The people inside didn't respond right away. After a while, Zhao Yifang's nasal voice came out, "Thank you, master? Please go back first, the king is going to rest."

Xie Penglai saw that someone brought a hot handkerchief, took a piece and walked into the room softly.

Zhao Yifang was sitting in front of the desk in a daze staring at a blank sheet of paper. A warm handkerchief had wiped off the sweat on her forehead. Xie Penglai wiped her face for her, and then opened the handkerchief to clean King Jin's hands. Forget it, the one who pushed her into the Ritual Department and sent her to Shahai didn't think well."

Xie Penglai gently rubbed King Jin's fingers. When Xie Penglai turned to return the handkerchief, Zhao Yifang suddenly hugged him by the waist. She looked stunned, but she didn't push it away.

"If Your Highness doesn't feel relieved, how about letting the lower officials write the essays? Let's call him a high-sounding, nowhere to escape." Jin Wang's face was buried in his waist warmly, and Xie Penglai couldn't push her tight. Hug.

"I'm just angry." Zhao Yifang mumbled.

"The lower official knows that His Highness is just a random sixth-rank official, relying on his background in the Ministry of Rites and being a Jinshi, and relying on himself as a man, he can tell His Highness what to do. The lower official also knows that His Highness is not satisfied with this kind of Qi in Beijing." Yes, I didn’t expect to meet again in Shahai.” Xie Penglai raised his hands, and finally stroked Zhao Yifang’s head lightly, “Your Highness is looking at Xiaguan’s two bowls of sorghum porridge and a piece of crispy ring cake. , don't get angry and ruin your body."

Zhao Yifang didn't eat much of the crispy crystal carp and meat, and almost all of them were thrown into the stomachs of Xie Penglai and Lihuamao under her pressure.

"It turns out that Master Xie knows that I'm still angry." After being coaxed by Xie Penglai, Zhao Yifang's anger has slipped away, and her mouth is still strong.

"Xie knows that His Highness is angry with this world." Xie Penglai's words made Zhao Yifang look up from her waist, and the tears in Xing's eyes turned into a faint red background.

"Yes, I am angry with the world where women talk lightly and are fooled and taught by men at will. I am angry with the world where others criticize my own marriage. I am still angry..." Zhao Yifang was not angry, because Xie Penglai watched She pursed her lips and smiled, as if she saw through her disguise, but she really saw herself in Xie Penglai's eyes.
