Chapter 11 The Good Show Begins (1)
Time is weird, and it always makes you suffer when you don’t care about it.
But when you cherish it, it is fleeting.
In a blink of an eye, it was March 12th, and the spring in Jiangnan became more and more gorgeous every day. Suddenly, like the east wind coming, thousands of pear trees bloomed. Inside and outside the capital, there were already flowers blooming, full of fragrance.
~
Outside Zhengyang Gate, there are countless Jinyiwei along the streets.
The wild flowers blooming on both sides of the road and the lush fields in the distance make the spring particularly beautiful.
Duke Cao Li Jinglong sat in the pavilion, wearing a goose hat and a brand new python robe, obviously waiting for some important person.
His identity has the privilege of hereditary python robe. Although the ministers and heroes of the Ming Dynasty, as well as even first and second-rank officials, were able to wear python robes given by the emperor, they were mostly rewarded for python robes. The difference between reward and reward is one word, but the meaning is that it is in heaven and earth.
The former is the python robe that you are given to you. If you wear it badly or the color is old, you can make one again and then wear it.
The latter is one piece. If you like to wear it, you will wear it or not. If you like to wear it, you will provide it at home. If you want to buy it, I’m sorry, no one dares to make it for you.
"Huh!" Li Jinglong picked up a cup of herbal tea, "It's so hot in just a few months?" He said, taking a sip, "I'm sweating all over my head!"
Deng Ping, who was also sitting on a stool next to him, glanced at him and said to himself, "It's a hell that you're not hot. He wore a big red python robe with golden thread patterns like a burnt bag, and a thousand-layer official boots. The inner and the outer three layers look like rice dumplings, how can it not be hot?"
Although he thought so in his heart, he couldn't say anything. He turned to the side and asked, "Where has the princess' car gone?"
"Reply to you!" said the Jinyiwei next to him, "There are still twenty miles left!"
"Yeah!" Deng Ping nodded. Now he is one of the commanders of the Emperor's personal guards, and he also has some official power.
Today he and Li Jinglong came out of the city to welcome Princess Shouyang of the King of Jin, who is Li Jinglong's future daughter-in-law. It is not appropriate for him, the princess's father-in-law, to go out in person, but King Zhu Jiying of Jin was escorted by him, so he had to come forward.
"Why!"
At this time, Deng Ping suddenly heard Li Jinglong sigh and said in surprise, "On a happy day, brother-in-law, why are you sighing?" As he said, he said, "But I am afraid that Brother Qi will not have a good life in the future? Don't worry, this princess is the legitimate descendant of the late King of Jin, and is the most virtuous..."
"I sigh that some people can't do anything!" Li Jinglong gritted his teeth.
"Who?" Deng Ping frowned.
"Who else?" Li Jinglong sneered, "That minister Wang in Nanshu!"
"He?" Deng Ping's mind immediately showed the fat human and animal harmless figure and whispered, "Why did he mess with you?"
Li Jinglong looked around and the guards were far away. He approached and whispered, "Do you know the matter of the Japanese envoy? I have decided to delay them for a while, but he didn't know that he would make people angry!" As he said that, he shook his head with regret, "I have disappeared even the emperor, and I have just boarded the boat and returned to Japan!"
Deng Ping was even more puzzled, "He can leave, why bother you?"
"I'm stupid!" Li Jinglong glanced at him, "Brother Qi'er's wedding is about to come, and the Japanese envoy is asking me for help. You say this gift..."
"My good brother-in-law!" Deng Ping was amused and crying, "You...hey, why are you still thinking about this?" He said, shook his head and said, "Why am I doing this? Where is this?"
"The family is big and the business is big?" Li Jinglong curled his lips, "I'm going to tell you that because of Brother Qi'er's marriage, the mansion has been emptied." As he said, he spread his hands, "The mice can run away in the warehouse!"
Suddenly, Deng Ping felt panic and quickly moved his butt out.
"Oh, by the way!" Li Jinglong continued to open his mouth, "Taipingnu, Brother Qi is your eldest nephew. As the saying goes, your mother's uncle is the eldest, you are the uncle..."
"A few days ago, I was rummaging through boxes and cabinets at home and gathering two hundred taels of gold." Deng Ping was sweating for no reason. "You also know that I am the youngest in the family. It takes a short time to work as a job. My brother, sister-in-law, butler, have not many items in my hands."
"I'm kidding you!" Li Jinglong smiled and joked, "I know you are poor, how can you really ask for tribute to you? You will be able to do it when you have the heart!" As he said that, he sighed again, "A man, I will never resist miss in this life. In the blink of an eye, I will be in my forties. In a few years, I will be my grandfather's person. In the future, it will be the world of you young people!"
"You are the only one in our family who is still promising. You are decent in front of Master Long Sui. In the future, Brother Qi will definitely not be able to help you, your uncle!"
"I'll use it anywhere!" Deng Ping smiled, "Brother Qi is the one around the prince, and the prince will be there in the future!"
"You kid just became an official for a few days, and you also had an official voice with your brother-in-law!" Li Jinglong cursed with laughter.
Deng Ping smiled on his face and didn't say anything.
In fact, he didn't agree with Li Jinglong's statement in his heart. In the future, one of their uncles and nephews was around the emperor and the other was around the prince. It would be better not to always make up together. It would be true that they could keep a little distance.
As for why?
The emperor was in full swing in the spring and autumn, and it took another thirty or forty years to be considered old. And in the past thirty or forty years, many things were enough to happen.
He also has some understanding of the emperor who serves all day long. This long-lived emperor looks like a nostalgic person, but he must be divided into whatever matters. If he turns against him, he will not ask you what matters and who is involved.
Being with the king is like a tiger!
Deng Ping did not have a relationship with Li Jinglong and the royal family, so it is better to be careful.
As for these kindnesses, they can be avoided. Who is the decent family? That is the emperor's personal family. People are honest and do not care about it, and they are overeating themselves?
"Hey!" At this time, Li Jinglong suddenly sighed again.
Deng Ping frowned, "Brother-in-law, why are you sighing?"
"I sigh, Brother Qi'er is next to An Wang Qiansui in his wedding!" Li Jinglong had a bitter face, "I'll have another big sum at that time!"
In fact, what he wanted to say was that I was just a passing God of Wealth. My son received the little money from marriage, but he was afraid that he would send it to King An if he turned around.
"The wedding of King An Qiansui was organized by Guanglu Temple. Just show your feelings!" Deng Ping said, "You think so much, are you tired?"
"Stupid!" Li Jinglong snorted again, "I'll ask you, how old is the old man? King An is the youngest son. Now, this wedding is just for the old man, the emperor has to do a decent job!" As he said that, he took a sip of tea, "I think too much? This is all about human relationships and worldly things, all knowledge. Don't want to? If you don't want to, just wait for someone to say something about your shortcomings, right?"
"Bah!" Deng Ping cursed in his heart, "I'm going to give me a good gift when I got married? Why didn't I see you giving me a great gift when I was married? It would be fine if I didn't give it to me, but I'll go to my house every now and then to plunder it!"
At this time, a sedan chair came out of the city gate and landed directly next to the Jieguan Pavilion.
Hu Guan, the prince-in-law wearing a brown dress, came out from inside and laughed as soon as she fell into the sedan chair, "I'll hurry up, don't waste time!"
"Mr. Prince Consort!" Deng Ping quickly stood up and saluted.
"The person hasn't arrived yet!" Li Jinglong also stood up and smiled, "It's cool inside!" After that, he picked up the teapot with his own hands and poured a cup for Hu Guan.
After handing it over, he smiled and said, "What are you busy with? This sweat."
"Just come from Chang'an Street!" Hu Guan took the herbal tea and ate two, and smiled, "It's for the house that King An used for his wedding!"
"Will you not be in the palace after your wedding?" Li Jinglong asked.
It is logical that King An should have been a vassal after his wedding, but now he has never believed it and is just hanging himself. In fact, the ministers also know that the emperor is not willing to let these uncles become princes with real power. Therefore, the emperor pretended not to know that everyone did not say anything about it. Moreover, civil officials were even more happy to see this.
