Young people are growing up day by day, and Mu Anzhi is not blindly jealous. For example, Scholar Tang has some status as Mu Anzhi's lecturer. Even if he jointly stated with the Ministry of Rites that Mu Anzhi was the son of a concubine, Mu Anzhi could not directly blame Tang.
The bachelor clicked. Not only could he not click, he also had to use the Tang scholar as a memorial tablet.
Because, even if the matter is discussed now, it cannot be said that Xueshi Tang did it wrong.
This is what is hateful about scholars. Whether they are good or not depends on their character.
The dinner that day was also very grand. Mu Anzhi invited all the seventh-grade civil servants in New Yicheng and above, as well as the famous scholar Mr. Lin. Moreover, this banquet was different from the previous banquet where men and women were seated separately. Mu Anzhi took Li Yuhua to sit on the table.
First of all, the rest, like the Tang Dynasty pacification envoys, those who had wives came with their wives, while those without wives, such as Chen Jian and Du Changshi, had to sit alone. For example, the princess Xin'an and the princess were also at the banquet, and the princess
With her own daughter, Princess Xin'an couldn't bring her son to sit with her. However, Master Bai took Prefect Pei to the top of the civil service.
Xueshi Tang was humiliated by Pei Ruyu in the morning, and was in low spirits after the dinner. Mu Anzhi was very enthusiastic, especially to Du Changshi, "Originally, I and Ruyu should personally handle the discipleship ceremony, but there is a difference between the monarch and the minister.
Mr. Zebai still needs Ruyu to take care of him. Hua Changshi is older than Master Tang and is Master Tang’s senior in the imperial examination. Xiao Du is not an outsider, so he should take more care of Master Tang."
Du Changshi should be.
Mu Anzhi raised his glass and said, "Today is a banquet specially for Master Tang. Let's all drink from this cup together."
When everyone was about to drink, Xueshi Tang suddenly asked, "Your Highness, I heard that Tang Mo also came to Xinyi with Your Highness, why didn't you see him?" His Highness the Crown Prince specifically asked to take good care of Tang Mo.
Mu An said, "I sent someone to tell him yesterday that Master Tang is coming to Xinyi and asked him to come over for a drink tonight. He said he doesn't get along with you and refuses to come."
When Chen Jian heard this truth, his face was expressionless.
Academician Tang's smile was filled with affection, "He has always been pampered and has loose rules. If he doesn't come, he won't come."
Chen Jian put down the wine cup in his hand and said calmly, "Ah Mo has always been straightforward. Even if he is from the same tribe, there is a difference between being close and distant even if he wants to come. He didn't want to come, so he directly told the reason. Frankness is true, but it doesn't follow the rules.
Ridiculous words. Scholar Tang’s words are inappropriate.”
Scholar Tang deeply felt that he was not in harmony with Northern Xinjiang.
Tang Yasuo tried to smooth things over, "Let's have some wine first. The aroma of this wine is extraordinary to me. It must be the fine mare's milk wine collected by His Highness. Just smelling the aroma of this wine makes me feel greedy.
Your Highness, please reward me with a few more cups of wine."
Li Yuhua smiled, "I'll give Mr. Tang two jars later, just drink."
"I would like to thank you for your reward." Tang Anping made him feel relieved, thinking that after all, Scholar Tang was here under the orders of the emperor, so it would be better not to be too embarrassed to come to the stage.
"Come, let's drink this cup first, and Master Tang will try the fine wine and food from our northern Xinjiang." Mu Anzhi invited everyone to drink together, and then in front of all the officials, he asked how his majesty and the prince were doing, expressing politely.
To show his loyalty to the imperial court, he summoned singing and dancing music. As the exotic music played, the dances were also characteristic of northern Xinjiang, and the hall became lively for a while.
This meal made Tang Anping feel like there was a stone in his stomach. Even before the banquet, he had to inform his beloved eldest son Sun that Academician Tang had been waiting in the side room for two hours before meeting His Highness. His face was expressionless when he left the study.
It wasn't great, but I didn't expect that the banquet would lead to something embarrassing.
Looking at it now, His Highness really doesn't like his master very much. Even Tang Mo seems to be at odds with this clan brother. What is the reason for this?
Tang Anping envoy asked many questions about Tang Mo. He asked Tang Mo about it, and Tang Mo said, "I just bother him nagging and nagging all day long, like an old hen, as if he is the only one in the world who understands the truth.
He's just a smart guy, but it's annoying."
The Tang appeasement envoy advised Tang Mo, "After all, he is from the same clan. He is older and it is better for him to live up to his reputation."
"I don't care about him. If I let him get along, he will bother me with his arrogance. I like you, Uncle Wu." He approached Tang Yaozhi with a smile, and Tang Yaozhi smiled like a chrysanthemum with his sweet words.
Tang Mo ignored Scholar Tang at all. He was only busy with his own business. Now that the year-end ceremony was held, he had to follow the sacrifice. Li Yuhua had to prepare the meat for the sacrifice himself. In fact, he just took a look at the pot while the meat was cooking.
If there is a place nearby, it must be placed in the courtyard of Li Yuhua's main palace.
As a result, Li Yuhua, who had no symptoms of pregnancy at all, was overwhelmed by the smell of boiled meat and vomited several times.
The princess said, "Your Majesty, please come to my courtyard and have a rest."
Princess Xin'an said, "Your Majesty, just go and have a rest. I think it's the same."
Li Yuhua had just finished rinsing his mouth and felt a little uncomfortable smelling the aroma of the meat. He quickly followed the princess and went to the courtyard and pointed to the big pot for cooking meat and said, "You can't cook it with plain water like this. It's really boring. Put some green onions in it."
Use the ginger grass fruit to remove the fishy smell."
"The sacrificial meat is boiled in plain water, and I haven't heard of any seasonings added." The princess persuaded Li Yuhua to go to her courtyard. As expected, she didn't smell the smell of boiled meat, so Li Yuhua had no problem at all. Li Yuhua drank the hot plums.
Yin said, "I am pregnant with a monk, right? Why can't I smell meat all of a sudden?"
"Your Majesty, don't talk nonsense. Your Majesty usually doesn't avoid meat and fish, and she is pregnant with a young prince." The princess saw that she was pregnant now, and she liked it and couldn't help but touch Li Yuhua's swollen belly.
The meat alone took several days to cook. After selecting the meat for sacrifice, Mu Anzhi selected the fattest and best meat, cut it into a piece, and ordered the maid to cut it, and then prepared the ingredients for the ritual.
, put it on the dining table, and distributed the other orders to everyone.
Li Yuhua served a piece of pork with alternating fat and thin, and put fruit vinegar in the sauce. The smell made her appetizing. Li Yuhua said, "It's just uncomfortable when it's cooked, but it's really not unpleasant to eat."
The meat had been heated on the stove and was fragrant and soft. Seeing that Li Yuhua ate it deliciously, Mu Anzhi didn't move a chopstick. Li Yuhua asked, "Third brother, don't you want to eat it? It's delicious."
The third brother picked up a piece, mixed the ingredients and brought it to his mouth. Mu Anzhi ate it and savored the taste, "It's really good."
"Of course. Mutton is also delicious." Li Yuhua has never been picky about food, and she thinks everything tastes good. Li Yuhua said, "In the past, when I celebrated the New Year in my hometown, I had to buy all the chicken, duck, fish, pork, beef, and sheep on the New Year's Eve.
I started stewing meat when I was 18, and you don’t know how fragrant it is. It’s always so fragrant that I have to eat a bowl of stew at night to fall asleep, otherwise my stomach would always growl.”
Mu Anzhi listened to the Coke, "Are you hungry?"
"No. It's just cooing, especially since the charcoal stove is placed in the back room, and the stew pot is placed on the stove. It is slowly simmered on a low fire at night, and the smell of meat fills the room. It's so fragrant." Li Yuhua said with a smile at the corner of his mouth.
Smiling with bright eyes, "Aunt Hongmei's family bought the meat early one year, and it was all eaten before New Year's Eve. Her family didn't have the money to buy more, so she borrowed a bowl of stew from my family.
New Year’s Eve.”
"What do you think of this person? Aunt Hongmei has been so confused for a long time. My mother can live a happy life, but she left early. My daughter is going to worship her ancestors. I asked the cook to stew more meat for my mother.
Even if she is alive, she will not be able to enjoy my blessings." Li Yuhua sighed.
"My mother-in-law is happy to see that everything is going well for us now, and Quanxia is also happy. Besides, people are mortal, and in seventy or eighty years, we will all see each other in the underworld." Mu Anzhi said very openly.
"This is the same." Li Yuhua said "Oh" when he regained his energy, and dropped the chopsticks in his hand. He put one hand on his waist and the other on his stomach. Mu Anzhi rushed over, "What's wrong?"
Li Yuhua frowned and stroked his belly and said, "Oh, oh, oh, oh, my son seems to be moving."
"Ah! It's moving, it's moving!" Mu Anzhi put both hands on it, and he could feel it through his cotton-padded jacket. Mu Anzhi immediately became anxious, "Why can't I touch it?"
"It just moved twice, like a small fish in its belly." Li Yuhua's description was very unique, and he said to Mu Anzhi, "It's not moving anymore."
"Why does it keep moving for a while? I heard Ruyu say that this thing in Sister Muxiang's belly moves a lot now, and it also moved all day long when she was pregnant with Axiu." She looked nervous and said that there would be no problem with my son.
"Sister Muxiang was pregnant earlier than me. Her son has started to move a long time ago. I am only more than four months old. When he is older, he will move more often." Li Yuhua had already talked to Sister Muxiang, Aunt Hongmei, and Jun
The princess, Princess Xin'an and a group of ladies with childbirth experience have discussed it many times.
Aunt Sun came in when she heard the commotion. She felt relieved after she understood what was going on. She smiled and said, "My queen, the baby will start to move this month. Your Highness, don't worry. The twins I'm pregnant with will wait until they are older."
I move all day long until late at night.”
Only then did Mu Anzhi feel relieved.
The maid changed another pair of silver chopsticks, and the couple continued to eat. Mu Anzhi served his daughter-in-law with dishes one after another. When the next day was about to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth, he was still thoughtful enough to wait until the sacrifice was over, and picked the best meat to take home and keep.
Give it to your wife.
Thinking that his son would move, how could no one share such good news, especially Mu Anzhi's happy look on his face, everyone was not blind. If Mu Anzhi had a bad look on his face, everyone would just hide and pay it forward, Tang Mo was always happy when he was so happy
With a straight heart, he immediately asked, "Third brother, what's the happy event that makes you so happy?"
Mu Anzhi couldn't suppress the smile on his face, and he didn't need to suppress it. Mu Anzhi said, "It's nothing. It's just that your nephew suddenly moved twice yesterday. Your sister-in-law said it was like a small fish."
"Oh, you can move so soon! Oh, this is so awesome!" Tang Mo also didn't understand anything. He didn't even get a wife. Tang Mo was also very happy for his third brother. He also
He was quite clever and said with a straight face, "But there is one thing, third brother, you are wrong."
Mu Anzhi raised his eyebrows, and Tang Mo looked bright again, "How can you look like a little fish? You also look like a little dragon! Third brother, you are the son of a dragon, and my nephew is the grandson of the dragon."
Mu Anzhi laughed out loud and gave him a gentle slap on the back of the head. The two brothers became very intimate.
Xueshi Tang said in a noble voice, "Of course I am happy that the princess is pregnant, but your highness must also put official duties first." These words were very suitable for Xueshi Tang's identity, but no one paid attention to him at this time. Everyone joined in to praise the princess and the prince.
Well, especially Tang Mo was extremely envious and said eagerly, "I really want to have a son as a father."
Du Changshi smiled, "Ah Mo, there's no point in telling His Highness about this. You have to discuss it with Marquis Lu."
Tang Mo jumped over and hugged his father-in-law's arm, hugged him hard a few times, and said, "Father-in-law, the New Year is coming soon. After the New Year, my eldest sister will be sixteen in two years!"
Lu Hou looked at the sky helplessly, and Tang Mo asked again, "Father-in-law, how are you preparing your eldest sister's dowry? Do you want my help?"
Lu Hou flicked his sleeves and said, "I'll use your help!" I'm going to prepare a dowry for my daughter-in-law, and I'll use my son-in-law to help me! Boy, I think you're itchy!
Tang Mo was thrown away by his father-in-law, but he was not annoyed. He went to his third brother with a smile and asked, "Third brother, have you chosen a name for your nephew? You need to choose a few more, and you will have to use two at once." , Third sister-in-law will have many nephews and nieces in the future, all of whom will be of use."
"What you said is very true." Then, Mu Anzhi started to show off the name he had given to his child with a proud look on his face.
Mu Anzhi was in a good mood. After returning to the palace, he gave Du Changshi a good job. He said to Du Changshi, "We in Xinyi have not compiled historical materials. Master Tang is very knowledgeable and does not want to be an official. So let him He wrote a book and said, "Let's sort out the official records of this new city of Yicheng."
Du Changshi bowed slightly and said, "Your Highness is wise." Not to mention that Tang Xueshi had done something disgraceful to His Highness before. After all, he was a fourth-rank official. Even if His Highness did not use him in a high position, if he was allowed to be among the subordinate officials, He has to sit on the head of Hua and Du. No matter how willing Du Changshi is, it is the best arrangement to ask this old man to edit books now.
"You arrange a room for him to compile books, tell him about this, and I will disappear."
Du Changshi said, "Scholar Tang has brought his second son here, so why not arrange for Young Master Tang to accompany his father and compile the new annals of Yifu together."
"This is very appropriate, let's do it."
After the matter was settled, Mu Anzhi looked back at his wife.
Alas, his son can move! He has to wait carefully today and must not miss the moment when his son moves!
