Chapter 1527: It’s New Year’s Eve again, changes in the court
"Ah, sir!"
Lian'er exclaimed and hurriedly walked out of the pool with Yuanyang's support!
Shen Tang looked at Lian'er, who was only wearing a small coat in front of him, and felt restless in his heart! Coupled with her cheeks that were red from drinking, she was actually unrivaled in beauty!
"Madam, you are so beautiful!"
Yuanyang and the two maids blushed with embarrassment. Lian'er was equally shy, but she couldn't help being moved!
The courtesy I received when I returned home today and the closeness to my aunts and sisters were all due to the dignity given to me by my master! Otherwise, I would be a wild girl who was recognized halfway, even if my father really felt sorry for me, but others would not dislike me Even if he is good, how can he be so respectful and close?
After you get married and follow your husband, your current master is your God. It is precisely because you have this piece of heaven supporting you that no one dares to treat you slightly.
"Yuanyang, you go down first!"
Lian'er said softly.
Several maids bowed and left, and Lian'er stepped forward to undress Shen Tang and take off his belt! After a moment, she felt herself being pulled into a spacious and solid embrace.
The red charcoal in the corner exudes a steady stream of heat, the steam rises in the pool, and a pair of beautiful people in the room intertwine with each other and sing in harmony!
Early the next morning, Lian'er got up early with her aching body! Looking at her husband beside her, Lian'er was shy but happy. She was so passionate last night that she encouraged herself to cater to her husband's soft words. I tried a few new positions, but even thinking about them now makes me feel shy.
After Shen Tang and Lian'er got up, they went to Sheng Yongde's room to have breakfast with their father-in-law, and talked for a long time. It was almost noon before they slowly left the house and returned home.
After returning home this time, Shen Tang didn't go out again! All the things needed for the New Year's Eve have been prepared! Nowadays, Lianli City is a place where Song and Jin countries trade with each other. It's very convenient to buy what you need. The Shen family is not short of money, so naturally they will not be missing anything.
A few more days have passed and it’s already New Year’s Eve!
On this day, the whole family got up early and cleaned the inside and outside. In the outer courtyard, there was Qian Hong with a bunch of boys, hanging lanterns everywhere and putting up door curtains! In the inner courtyard, there was Lian Er with two girls. The two sisters Ayi and Ayi were busy working, while Xiao Nianli and Xiao Fantuan'er were wrapped in the thick red carpet, with only their two little faces exposed.
Shen Tang hugged her left and right, walking in and out of the yard with a smile on her face!
This year, the talented woman Yan Rui is here, and the task of writing Men Lian'er has long been pushed out by Shen Tang. Yan Rui has lived up to expectations. The Men Lian'er she wrote is not only suitable for the situation, but also has extremely gorgeous rhetoric!
In the evening, Shen Tang went to the outer courtyard to accompany Shen Chou. Qian Hong and others had a meal of wine, and distributed the rewards that Xiang Ling had prepared to everyone, and then returned to the inner courtyard.
The girls from the inner courtyard gathered in Xiangling's courtyard. There were no eldest relatives in the Shen family, and Xiangling was the matron of the family, so there was no need to go and give gifts to any elders.
When Shen Tang came back, behind him, the maids and maids in each room were paying New Year's greetings to the girls!
Shen Tang took the children from Mammy's hands and sat down next to Xiang Ling with a smile. The other girls sat in turn. Yun'er and Zhu'er, the two girls, were milling around with a smile on their hands full of red envelopes. Whenever someone bowed to the girls, the two of them would take the red envelopes and hand them out one by one.
After sending all the maids away, the family began to have a lively New Year’s Eve dinner!
When they finished eating, the sound of crackling firecrackers also sounded in the outer courtyard!
One year old is eliminated amidst the sound of firecrackers,
The spring breeze brings warmth into Tusu.
Thousands of households, every day,
Always replace old talismans with new ones.
Compared to last year's New Year celebrations in the Northland, this year we have two more sisters, Murong Yu, Isha, and Ayi. Of course, the most important thing is that we have one more son and one daughter.
Surrounded by women and having a happy child in his arms, Shen Tang suddenly understood the happiest feeling in the world!
After a night of keeping up with the New Year, Shen Tang and Xiang Ling took a small rice ball to Cheng Ru as a gift on the next morning. After eating some food at Cheng Ru's place, Shen Tang also took Xiang Ling back to have a rest.
If we were in Lin'an City, some of our close colleagues would inevitably have to move around, but in Lianli City, there would naturally be less social interaction!
Originally, it stands to reason that the county government should come to pay homage to Shen Tang, the marquis. However, with Shao Xun, the father-in-law, there is no reason for the father-in-law to pay homage to his son-in-law.
As for other officials, of course they dare not overstep their authority.
Therefore, there is a rare purity in Shen's mansion.
At noon, the girls once again had dinner with Shen Tang, and then discussed going to the East and West markets for a stroll.
In the Song Dynasty, although the atmosphere was less open than in the Tang Dynasty, women still had a relatively high degree of freedom and were far less dogmatic than later generations! For example, in the "Along the River During the Qingming Festival", you can clearly see many women sitting on Walking in a sedan chair or holding an umbrella, walking in the market.
As for ordinary people's families, there are countless women who are forced to work outside the home to make a living.
There was nothing going on at home, so Shen Tang asked the boy to hitch a carriage and took the girls towards the market! Although it was the first day of the new year, the market in Lianli City was still very lively.
Xiangling and the girls, who didn't like to move, were sitting on the carriage. The carriage was wide and the silver wire radiated heat, which made people not feel the coldness of winter at all. However, Wanyan Yue and the others naturally couldn't sit still and were outside. Wandering in the market! Lian'er even kept delivering all kinds of food and other gadgets she bought from time to time into the carriage...
And while almost everyone was celebrating the New Year happily, Yue Lin was not idle either!
First of all, I want to say a few words about Liu Gong and the confrontation between Liu Gong and Zhao Shen. Although Zhao Shen did not give a clear answer at the time, he highly recognized Liu Gong's statement in his heart.
Zhao Shen believed that having such a person in charge of military affairs, coupled with a man like Shen Tang who was good at conquering and fighting, was the cornerstone of the Song Dynasty's prosperity.
Therefore, at a great court meeting not long after, someone participated in the performance of Privy Councilor Yu Yunwen.
The first is that he rectified the army, which led to a lot of resentment and mutiny in the army. The second is that when he was the privy envoy, he was helpless in frontier troubles, and even suffered several major defeats in the early battles with the Jin Kingdom...
Zhao Shen acquiesced and ordered Yu Yunwen to move to Luzhou.
Next, is the selection of the new Privy Councilor!
After Zhao Shen was dissatisfied with the candidates proposed several times, Shi Hao, the left prime minister, mentioned that Liu Gong, the magistrate of Tanzhou, was a fair official, a shrewd judge, and had meritorious service in quelling Li Jin's rebellion. He also knew military affairs, so he could be a privy councilor. make!
Zhao Shen convened civil and military officials for discussion. Although there were some different opinions, when Ye Yong and other big bosses did not refute, Zhao Shen made the final decision and confirmed the position of the privy envoy.
Three awards and three concessions! Finally, after more than 20 years of ups and downs in the officialdom, Liu Gong set foot in the court and became the first officer in the military and one of the top bosses in the court!
