The old butler Juan glared at him and said: "You are wrong. The young master is out now. If there is any trouble again, you are the only one to ask."
Liang Dazhuang protested angrily: "Why should we rely on me? It's the young master who won't let us go."
Juan stretched out his hand and pointed at Liang Dazhuang's chest and said: "Do you have any brains? The young master won't let you go, but he didn't say he won't let you follow. They are going to the Yanshui Pavilion Pen Club. You just follow them quietly. If something happens, it's fine.
I have someone to take care of me." Since the last robbery of Tang Qingxuan, the entire Shangshu Mansion family has begun to recognize this young master again. This guy definitely has the potential to cause trouble.
Xu Zhengying's carriage is outside. He spent a lot of money and gave Hu Xiaotian a valuable thousand-year-old ginseng tree, which shows that his financial situation is good. His car is also quite luxurious. The carriage is rectangular and has patterns engraved on the edges.
The upper part of the carriage is carved with exquisite and elegant window panes, through which you can see the scene outside the carriage. The top of the carriage is in the shape of a hexagonal pavilion. The top is very large and exceeds the carriage on all four sides. This can achieve good results.
It has a great wind and rain shielding effect. The front extends forward a lot. This design can not only protect the privacy of the passengers in the car, but also provide shelter for the driver. It is also the top cover of the carriage. There are curtains on all four sides of the carriage.
There is a long soft curtain on the front, which is lifted up on the top cover. The curtain and soft curtain are also decorated with copper bells and tasseled silk ribbons. The yoke head is decorated with majestic animal heads, which further highlights the distinguished status of the carriage owner.
Hu Xiaotian rarely rides in a carriage. Although there are many carriages at home, this is the first time he has seen such a luxurious one. He followed Xu Zhengying and got into the carriage. He sat on a soft cushion with moderate elasticity and felt like a sofa. Although the carriage was very exquisite.
It's luxurious, but there are only two horses pulling the cart. Hu Xiaotian said: "Uncle Xu, why did you only get two horses? It would be so majestic if I got eight horses to pull the cart for you!"
Xu Zhengying's face couldn't help but change when he heard what he said. He looked around and said nervously: "My nephew, you can't talk nonsense like this. Only the current emperor is qualified to use the eight-passenger carriage. According to Dakang's regulations,
As a rule, I cannot use more than three carriages."
Hu Xiaotian secretly laughed in his heart. In fact, during this period, he had learned something about Dakang culture. Of course, he knew that eight-horse carts were a treat only the emperor could enjoy. Princes could enjoy six horses, and only princes and princesses could enjoy four-horse carts. As for most ministers,
There are only two or three horses. As for ordinary people, they can only ride a carriage pulled by one horse. If Xu Zhengying dared to let eight horses pull the carriage on the main road of the capital, it would probably end at Tianlao all the way.
This guy deliberately provoked Xu Zhengying and said: "Uncle Xu, after all, you are printing money. Although we have many carriages, we don't have one that is so luxurious and stylish."
Xu Zhengying was startled again, I said, you are trying to trick me! He said hurriedly: "Xiannephew, although I am responsible for minting Dakang currency, I have always kept a clear distinction between public and private affairs. This carriage is a gift from my father-in-law. Xian
If my nephew likes it, I will give this carriage to you as a gift."
Hu Xiaotian's next words almost made Xu Zhengying angry to death: "I don't want a second-hand car!"
Xu Zhengying could only laugh. She greeted Hu Xiaotian's eighteenth generation ancestors in her heart, and secretly made up her mind to find someone to re-order a new one for this guy when he gets back. Today was really a hemorrhage. How could he meet such a greedy person?
boy.
The carriage galloped on the main road in the capital. The two horses walked in unison and in a distinct rhythm. The bells made a rhythmic sound as the horses ran, which was extremely pleasant. Low-hanging blue curtains and gauze curtains fluttered in the wind, decorating them.
The wind chimes also made a pleasant sound. Xu Zhengying is obviously a person who knows how to live and enjoy. The silk fabrics in the carriage are all smoked with spices. The spring breeze blows into the car through the gauze curtains, and the subtle fragrance floats in the carriage. It is the so-called BMW carving.
The road is filled with the fragrance of cars, and people feel relaxed and happy among them, full of the atmosphere of petty bourgeoisie.
Of course, riding a carriage is not as comfortable as riding a car, but the sense of novelty and superiority cannot be compared with that of a car. After all, luxury carriages in this era are not common. Passers-by pay attention wherever the carriage passes. This carriage should have at least
It is equivalent to a BMW 5 Series. No, it should be a 2 Series when pulled by two horses. 2! Unlucky. When I get a special car, I will at least get a 3 Series. Only an emperor can ride the 8 Series. If I want to ride in a Series
He had to become a prince first. As for his grandma, even if you have money in this era, you can't do whatever you want. Hu Xiaotian's body swayed with the carriage, but his mind was thinking wildly.
Xu Zhengying looked at the boy next to her and felt a little puzzled. People said that Hu Buwei's son had been stupid for sixteen years and only suddenly regained his senses half a year ago. Even if this guy started studying after he woke up, he would only be able to make up for it.
After studying for half a year, I guess I am still illiterate. Why do you think you, an illiterate, would join in the fun with me? The people who went to the Yanshui Pavilion Pen Club today are all well-educated people from Dakang. If you go there and talk nonsense, not only you
If you are embarrassed, even I will be embarrassed by you. Xu Zhengying thought again, this is Hu Buwei's son. If others knew his true identity, they would definitely laugh at Hu Buwei's inability to teach his son. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but
I took a breath of air from the bottom of my heart. I came here today to give him a thousand-year-old ginseng. My real purpose was to curry favor with Hu Buwei through such behavior. If Hu Buwei loses face by going to the PEN meeting, wouldn't it be flattering?
On the horse's hooves, Hu Buwei would most likely think that he deliberately took his son out to make a fool of him while he was not at home.
At this time, Xu Zhengying was so regretful that she had the idea of slapping herself twice. Who told her to be a bitch? What would she do if she picked up her pen properly?
Hu Xiaotian didn't care what he was thinking. He lay down at the window and admired the scenery outside, looking as happy as a bird out of its cage. He was in a great mood.
Xu Zhengying coughed dryly and said, "My dear nephew, when we get there, you'd better not reveal your identity easily."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Why?"
Xu Zhengying originally wanted him not to talk too much, and it was best to pretend to be mute, but she was afraid of offending Hu Xiaotian, so she tried to speak tactfully. He said pleasantly: "There are many ministers from the DPRK and China who are going to attend the PEN meeting today. If
If they know that you are Mr. Hu's son, they will definitely rush to join you. Not only will it cause you a lot of trouble, but if word spreads about it, it will be bad. Mr. Hu will definitely blame me for being troublesome if he knows about it."
Hu Xiaotian was secretly happy, old man, you are afraid that I am uneducated and will lose your face, so you don’t want me to speak. If I make any jokes, others will not only laugh at me, but also me.
It’s a joke. My father will definitely settle the score with you. Seeing Xu Zhengying’s embarrassed expression while forcing a smile on his face, Hu Xiaotian almost laughed out loud. How can I be so easy to flatter you if you ask me to flatter you?
Hu Xiaotian said: "Uncle Xu, don't worry, I just went to watch the fun and gain some experience. When I arrived, I pretended to be mute and didn't even say a word."
Xu Zhengying finally felt a little relieved after hearing that he agreed so happily.
Yanshui Pavilion is located on the bank of the Cangshui River in the southeast of Beijing. The Cangshui River meanders through the north and south of Beijing, and connects to Tianshui Bay and the canal in the southeast of Beijing. The water surface in this area is the widest part. Standing on Yanshui Pavilion, you can just see
Arriving at the place where two river systems converge, the scene is magnificent and vast. This Yanshui Pavilion is a five-story wooden building with a history of more than 300 years. During this period, it suffered from fires three times and has been repaired and rebuilt many times. The latest one
The first renovation was three years ago, when all the eaves and roof tiles were replaced with red colored glaze. Under the sunlight, it shines brightly and is quite eye-catching.
Because of the unique terrain of Yanshui Pavilion, it has become a place where literati from all dynasties came to overlook the scenery of the capital. Many popular masterpieces have been left here. More than ten carriages have been parked in the open space outside the door of Yanshui Pavilion.
, judging from the decoration of the carriage, the identity of the owner is extraordinary.
After the carriage stopped, Hu Xiaotian jumped out of the carriage first, with his hands behind his back, and raised his head to observe the small building up close. In this era, there were few buildings with more than three floors, and the five-story Yanshui Pavilion was
Among the many buildings in the capital, it can be said to stand out among the others. A horizontal plaque with gold letters on a black background hangs above the door, with the three characters Yanshui Pavilion written on it. It is shining, with dragons and phoenixes dancing, and majestic. Hu Xiaotian's hard-pen calligraphy is not bad, but
The calligraphy of the calligraphy was only average. Even so, he could tell that these three characters were definitely the work of a master. He looked at the signature and saw the three characters Long Yingkong. Of course he knew Long Yingkong. This person was called
Dakang was known as the emperor of the ages. He had great talents and strategies, swept across Liuhe, drove the barbarians from the north, and unified the world. His great achievements have been passed down to this day.
It's a pity that this world cannot escape the principle that if it is divided for a long time, it will be reunited and it will be divided for a long time. After Dakang was unified in the hands of Long Yinkong, it experienced more than a hundred years of prosperity and gradually declined. Later, favored ministers were in power and traitors were rampant. This was passed down to Emperor Mingzong
In Long Yuan's generation, the country was almost destroyed by internal and external troubles. Long Yuan worked hard to reorganize the country and restore vitality to the country that was facing division and collapse. More than a hundred years have passed since Mingzong, and the fortune of the Kang Dynasty has gradually declined.
After the decline of the Qing Dynasty, the world fell into chaos again. Now the Yong Dynasty in the south is getting stronger and stronger. It has stationed troops in the south of the Yangtze River and is working hard to govern, gradually encroaching on the territory of the southern part of Dakang. In the north, Chihu also went south to disturb the border of Dakang from time to time. The days of the Emperor of Dakang were not stable.
Not having a good time.
Hu Xiaotian looked at the words "Yanshui Pavilion" in silence, and after a while he praised: "What a good word!"
Xu Zhengying thought to himself that you know what is good and what is bad. Most of the time he was pretending, but he complimented: "My nephew has good eyesight. These three words were inscribed by Emperor Taizong, the first emperor of Dakang through the ages."
Hu Xiaotian said: "When I have time, I will write a few words and hang them up."
Xu Zhengying secretly laughed at this kid who didn't know the heights of heaven and earth and actually wanted to compare himself with Emperor Taizong.
