When Jia Yucun rushed back from the Luo family, only Jia Lian and Rou Niang were left in the small wine shop.
Jia Lian was leisurely eating sugar porridge made from broad beans and brown sugar water. A plain white plate was added to the table, with seven or eight pieces of various Soviet-style cakes on the plate.
Rou Niang was accompanying Su Bai with a smile on her face, talking softly and cooing, and was talking about old legends of Gusu with gestures.
When Jia Lian saw Jia Yucun coming back, he took a bottle of wine with him and got up to go out to continue wandering.
Rou Niang was a little reluctant to give up. She held the two taels of silver that Jia Lian left on the table and stood at the door stupidly, watching until the person disappeared.
……
Jia Lian was in no mood to go shopping and was a little confused at this time.
The world I live in is indeed the world of Red Mansions, and the characters in the book are generally correct. However, what happened in the past two days is different from the story in the book.
Could it be that Jia Lian in the original book had an accident, which led to changes in the original plot?
If what is about to happen in the future will not be completely consistent with the original book of "A Dream of Red Mansions", then you should not be careless. You must adopt a humble and prudent attitude, carefully understand and verify the background and environment of this place and time. p>
So Jia Lian said that he had a headache from the noise just now, and proposed to enjoy the scenery of the countryside.
Jia Yucun hurriedly clapped and praised: "Second Master really has good taste! This beautiful scenery in Suzhou is especially beautiful in the countryside."
The two of them walked along the small bridge and flowing water between the houses, and meandered out of the city, only looking for a place where there were lush forests and bamboos.
Along the way, they had to chat to relieve their boredom. Jia Lian only started by saying: "Do you know that my great-grandfather followed Emperor Taizu to conquer the country back then?"
Jia Yucun is a leader who is easy to please, so how can he not hurry up and climb the pole? He immediately answered:
"Is there any reason for ignorance of such great achievements?
When Zhu Ming was exhausted and destroyed the Great Wall, who didn't know that the two princes of the government were following Emperor Taizu to exterminate the intruders, sacrifice the thieves, drive away the Tartars, and set the course for our great China?
Wanli Jiangshan Foundation.
Emperor Taizu personally named the twelve founding heroes with the most outstanding military achievements as the "Four Kings and Eight Dukes", and the honor was given to them by the two princes.
I also heard that Emperor Taizu later imitated Shun when he visited the south of the Yangtze River and stayed in his mansion three times. Can this honor and favor be matched by other families?
When the late emperor Gaozu was the emperor, the honor and favor were even more extraordinary. If others could get a single word to be written on the imperial pen, it would be because of the smoke rising from the ancestral grave. But in the ancestral halls and halls of the emperor's mansion, there were ten plaques and couplets.
The inscription is personally written by the emperor, which is extraordinary.
Today's Holy Emperor is even more generous and merciful. I heard from Mr. Lin that when Lord Daishan passed away, he handed over the posthumous copy. The Emperor took pity on his late minister and not only immediately let Mr. Pardon attack the prince, but also gave Mr. Zheng an additional reward.
With the title of chief, I am able to study in the ministry. This is the grace of the emperor and the blessing of the palace.
The second master is the eldest son and direct grandson, so his future is naturally unlimited."
Jia Lian understood clearly. As expected, even the general background was different from the original book - how could a "Dahua Dynasty" emerge out of thin air after the Zhu Ming Dynasty? He didn't learn it in his history class.
He wanted to induce Jia Yucun to talk more, so he deliberately shook his head again and again:
"You always only choose nice things to say, but you can only see the burning fire and the blooming flowers, and you can't understand the worries in my heart."
Jia Yucun wanted to hug Jia Lian's thigh tightly. When he heard what he said, he immediately felt that Jia Lian meant to treat him as "one of his own" and quickly made a sincere expression:
"Isn't it that the second master is worried about 'the ship is in danger of turning around'?
Second Master, since I am wholeheartedly seeking refuge with you, in the future my whole family will be closely related to Jia's family. In front of Second Master, if you just say something that doesn't show your heart, then you are not only unconscionable, but also
So stupid.
Now that I think about it, as the saying goes, "Success is determined by Xiao He and Xiao He is defeated by Xiao He." The honor and favor of the royal family depends on heaven's grace.
Although there are many good things for the emperor today, the age is already high, and the prince is already over forty years old. He has a deep foundation in the government. With such two powerful people, it is inevitable that there will be doubts between father and son.
The difficulties faced by people in the DPRK cannot be explained to outsiders.
A few generations later, it still depends on how much the current emperor values the love gained through bloody battles in the past.
The "four princes and eight princes" who were extremely favored at that time seemed not to care about the prince.
When the country was founded, Shui Qian took great credit, but in the end Emperor Taizu thought that after establishing the country, he needed to rule it through civil rule so that the people could rest and live. Then he passed the throne to his eldest son, Emperor Gaozu, and granted the title to his third son, Shui Qian.
A hereditary and irreplaceable King of Beijing.
The current generation of King Beijing is a brother of the same generation as the current emperor. He has a flamboyant temperament and does not know how to restrain himself. He only likes to frequent the "four kings and eight princes" and is not in harmony with the prince.
He is so ignorant of taboos, and in the eyes of the prince, there is no guarantee that he is not openly forming a clique.
Once the prince ascends the throne, will it not be a problem? Don’t the ‘four princes and eight princes’ want to be implicated?”
Jia Lian just remained silent.
Trouble is, the officialdom is the workplace. You are not afraid of doing something wrong, you are just afraid of being on the wrong team.
Jia Yucun only said that he hadn't spoken to Jia Lian's heart yet, thought about it for a while, and then said:
"Sooner or later, the second master will ascend to the title of nobility. Naturally, he doesn't have to be like Tongzheng's son. He has to come from the imperial examination.
Now that the world is peaceful, there is nowhere to make military achievements. If you want to show your ambitions, you still have to find a way from the officialdom."
While the two were talking, they saw a dilapidated temple hidden among the trees in front of them. They walked along the peeling wall and saw a plaque with the words "Zhitong Temple" on the crooked mountain gate.
Jia Yucun smiled and said: "I came here a few days ago, and there was an old monk who was deaf and confused. He couldn't answer the questions clearly."
Jia Lian looked at the mottled and broken couplets and said softly:
"I forgot to shrink my hands when I was behind me,
There is no way to turn back."
Without stopping, I walked in.
There are no old monks in the temple, but there is a path behind the temple that leads directly into an extremely dense and quiet bamboo forest.
Jia Yucun followed Jia Lian, a little confused:
“In the first few days I came here, I didn’t realize there was such a trail.”
Jia Lian lived in a concrete jungle in his previous life, but occasionally when he was not working overtime, he could backpack and travel to the countryside to be a travel companion. Where had he ever seen such a natural and elegant place?
Looking around, there are hundreds of thousands of green bamboo leaves, thousands of poles of cold emeralds, the wind and the rain, and the dew and mist. It is really a fairy place.
The bluestone path is no more than a foot long, and the moss marks are so green that one can hardly bear to step on them.
Jia Lian saw that the terrain here was low and he couldn't clearly see the movement of the mountain dragon. He called out "Mirror Slave" several times in his heart, and called "Fengyue Baojian" several times, wondering if it might be illuminating evil spirits here, but it happened.
The mirror made no sound.
Jia Lian secretly cursed: "Lazy idiot" and finally walked into the bamboo forest.
The green bamboo covers the sky and the sun, and it is inevitably a little dark under the bamboo.
There is so much humidity in the forest that there are wet water droplets slowly rolling down the bamboo joints, making people feel cold all over as they walk.
The surroundings were silent, except for the occasional short bird call.
At first, Jia Yucun also praised the elegance of this place. After walking along the winding path for an unknown distance, he gradually began to want to retreat and followed Jia Lian in a low voice:
"Tasting a little and stopping is the secret of happiness and love. Second Master, why don't we just go back?"
Jia Lian's interest has not diminished:
"It's still early, and you and I are two men, what are we afraid of?"
I took a sip of winter wine with my wine flask, and found that there seemed to be a faint sound of stream water.
Immediately more energetic, I followed the sound and walked deeper into the bamboo forest.
