During the incident, Chu Suiliang was instructing the servants to clean up the snow in the alley, and also cleaned up the doors of several other houses in the alley.
The families in Huaihua Lane got along relatively harmoniously, and some people came out to express their gratitude. The children also took the opportunity to play, and the servants helped clean up.
For a time, the alley was filled with excitement and joy.
As long as the male heads of each family were in the house, they all came out to greet each other, exchange greetings, and chat with each other. Naturally, Chu Suiliang was the centerpiece.
Chu Suiliang clasped his hands, chatting and laughing with others, without any arrogance.
The neighbors in Huaihua Lane are very kind. When the father and son were in decline, the neighbors did not dislike him. Now that he is proud, he cannot show his ugly face.
As he spoke, Chu Suiliang looked straight at the opposite door.
Naturally, Gongsun An's residence was right across the door from his house. After Gongsun An got married, the two families often visited each other, and the neighbors all knew that the two families had a good relationship with each other.
Now there is joy in the alley, but the door of Gongsun An's mansion is closed, looking deserted.
Chu Suiliang naturally knew that Gongsun An led troops to Goguryeo, and Madam Liu was afraid that she went to the tavern again. But why were the servants in the house so ignorant? What could they miss if they came out to take a look?
After Gongsun An left, he did not come to visit him. He only sent the stewards from time to time to inquire.
At this time, an old man smiled and said: "Aunt Liu and the rest of the family went out early this morning. From the looks of it, she must have gone to pay homage to the Buddha.
Didn't the Goguryeo side win the battle? The old man will go to the Buddha tomorrow to burn incense sticks. It's not easy. It's been so many years, and today is the day to cheer up."
Someone answered with a smile, "What Zhang Weng said is true. When my son heard about this, he wished he could serve in the army. As you know, my eldest brother went to Liaodong that year, and there was no news after he left."
, don’t know life or death
Alas, many years have passed, and my mother-in-law and I have been talking about it every New Year. Today can be regarded as revenge. If the King of Goguryeo is captured and brought to Chang'an, I will definitely go to the street and throw a few stones to hit his mother."
Everyone was happy, but they could also feel a little sad.
The blood of the Kansai people is flowing in Liaodong. The families in Huaihua Lane are all members of the Kansai family. Which family did not have people who followed the army back then?
Some people came back by luck, and some people left forever. They hated the Goguryeo people with all their hatred. Of course, Yang Guang couldn't escape either.
They can tell clearly who is good to everyone and who is not good to everyone. It just involves the merits and demerits of the emperor. People in the family are more cautious than ordinary people and will not say anything wantonly in public. No one has cursed in private.
Wouldn't it be a good death if you live with Yang Guang?
Everyone talked for a few words, and the interest became high. Some people regretted that the attack on Goguryeo was not publicized much by the court, so many Kansai men missed the good opportunity to perform meritorious service and revenge.
The good news came suddenly
So I began to sigh again, the court is really different now, and such a major event is hidden, probably because it is afraid of disturbing the world and making it unpeaceful.
His Majesty the Emperor is truly a good emperor, and his love for the people can be seen from the sun and the moon.
Your Majesty is so wise, everyone will have a good life.
In the future, when everyone pays homage to the Buddha, they can wish him and his parents long life and all the best.
Chu Suiliang couldn't laugh or cry as he listened. What's all this? He had been with the emperor for some time, but he knew that the emperor had a lot of opinions about the Buddha, and he barely concealed it.
If you go to ask the Buddha to look after the emperor, you must be asking the wrong person.
However, seeing that everyone was in high spirits, he would not let down the fun, and simply invited the neighbors to drink in his house. Today he was resting at home and had nothing to do.
Gongsun An is not here anymore, so there is one less drinking buddy.
Thinking of his drinking buddy, Chu Suiliang also sighed secretly, "You are such a good General Yulin and you have met so many powerful people. What did you say you were doing in front of the battle?"
Madam Liu really has to go and pray to Buddha so that Gongsun can return safely.
Chu Suiliang's house was bustling with excitement. He held an important position. He had the highest official position in Huaihua Lane. His emotional intelligence was on the line, so he was naturally very attractive.
Neighbors went home and told me, and came to attend the appointment one after another.
Chu Suiliang also opened his arms and exchanged cups with his neighbors, chatting and laughing.
Someone asked during the banquet, "Brother Chu is here, does he know that the imperial court is going to establish a famous medical hall?"
Chu Suiliang nodded happily, "I have heard some rumors, but I am not sure. Wang Xiandi works in the Imperial Medical Office, so he should know better than me.
Doctors are supplemented by learning. The ancients said that it is better to be a good doctor than to be a good physiognomist. The medical sage Zhang Zhongjing also said in Treatise on Febrile Diseases and Miscellaneous Diseases that progress saves the world and retreat saves the people. Those who learn to understand the past and the present are nothing more than this.
Perhaps in view of the peace and order in the world, the DPRK wanted to recruit famous doctors from all over the world to join the DPRK. The so-called Famous Medical Hall probably wanted famous doctors to give lectures and exchange knowledge.
Brother Wang Xian is very skilled in medicine, but don’t take it for granted.”
Everyone nodded, saying that Chu Suiliang was well-informed and worthy of being a minister.
In fact, Chu Suiliang only briefly mentioned that the Famous Medical Hall was recently requested by Taichang Temple to be established. In Chu Suiliang's view, it was just a symptom of the imperial government's policy.
Previously, the emperor summoned Taichang Temple, the craftsman supervisor, and the chief officials of the Young Mansion to the Taiji Hall. It was obvious that he wanted to make a big move, which involved more than just medical skills.
When the emperor was discussing with everyone, he mentioned the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods and the hundreds of schools of thought. If such a situation could really happen again in the world, Chu Suiliang didn't know what it would be like.
He just had a vague feeling that the emperor was leading everyone firmly towards a prosperous age.
Thinking of this, Chu Suiliang secretly lamented that the official position was still too small, otherwise it would be the right time to display his ambitions.
In the evening, a banquet ended, the guests and hosts had a great time, and the neighbors left drunkenly. Chu Suiliang also got very drunk and went back to the back house to rest.
The lonely pillow has the worry of being unable to sleep.
There are a lot of things going on this year, and I didn’t have time to bring the family to Chang’an, so I can only wait until next year.
Originally, he wanted to take in two concubines, but some time ago, during the civil service examination, there were people from the Supervisory Temple and the civil service who acted as monsters and impeached some people who had just taken up their duties and took concubines.
Although there was no attack in the court, Chu Suiliang had to be vigilant when he was under the family. He did not even dare to go to Caiyufang, let alone taking concubines.
Because next year is the year of the imperial examination in Beijing, Caiyufang is very lively. This autumn, some scholars have come to the capital, and there are gradually more literary gatherings in winter.
A person like Chu Suiliang, who is well-known and holds an important position, is indispensable for invitations.
Most of them were rejected by Chu Suiliang. Only when friends such as Yu Chang and Su Xu invited him to meet him, he would go to the appointment and try to be more careful in his behavior. He would not dare to be as dissolute as before.
