Chapter 639: The Milky Way is Bright (1)(1/4)
According to legend, the new top scholar on horseback parades on horseback began during the reign of Emperor Zhenzong of Song. Because the top scholar Cai Qi was outstanding in talent and had a handsome face and a handsome manner, Zhenzong liked it too much and couldn't help but want to "show off", so he gave him a horse guard.
He was asked to parade on the street with a brocade robe and wear flowers, and the whole city caused a sensation, and there was a new Jinshi who paraded on the street with a horse.
In the Ming Dynasty, the so-called parading on horseback was actually after the Golden Palace sang the title. Under the guidance of drums and music, officials of the Ministry of Rites hung the imperial list at the left gate of Chang'an. The top scholar led the Jinshi to pass through Taihe Gate, Meridian Gate, Duan Gate, and Chengtian Gate.
Until the Chang'an Zuomen Guanqian, the prefect of Shuntian arranged flowers for the top scholar, put on red silk, and sent the top scholar back to the top scholar with an umbrella cover to show the "magnanimous grace".
In the third year of Zhengde, the overall characteristics of this Jinshi are that the average age is relatively young and the average appearance is relatively high.
Especially the Sanding Jia, the 19th year old, the Hualang of the Hualang is completely like a banished immortal. The top scholar who just reached the top is also a rare beauty. Compared with this kind of beauty in the prosperous era, the second-class appearance is slightly inferior, but it is also
The standard appearance of a gentleman with thick eyebrows and big eyes will always be said to be good-looking in the crowd, and he is only twenty-nine years old.
The characteristic of this emperor is that he loves lively.
With such a group of dazzling young talents, how can the little emperor who is already out of the fun of the fun and can stand by his temperament and not show off?!
The first prize winner who was given to the top scorer on the 18th day was not counted. On the 19th, the Enrong Banquet was moved directly to Xiyuan and insisted on holding another grand parade in Xiyuan.
In order to expand the economic benefits of Xiyuan Scenic Area, the wind was released early, indicating that in addition to the umbrella cover, there are also drums, music, sheng, flute, brocade, colorful flags, and the top rank and riding alone. All the remaining two, three, and Jinshi were both.
The bridle, walk slowly, let the people see enough.
This event will be the largest event in Xiyuan before the Dragon Boat Festival after Shangsi.
Since the Golden Palace sang the title and the top scholar paraded the streets, the people of the capital have heard that this new Jinshi is particularly handsome, and there was a story about "catching son-in-law under the list" in Xiyuan. I heard that the "privileged" of the Shangsi Festival was captured.
"There are several people on the list.
The top scholar looked at it in a hurry when parading the streets. After having many details of gossip, the people were more willing to go to Xiyuan and compare the gossip and take a closer look.
In addition to being promoted to Xiaomin, some "noble people" are also concerned about it. They missed the capture of son-in-law under the Xiyuan list, or were hesitant. Now the imperial list has been posted, and it just happened to catch a Jinshi son-in-law and go back.
Princess Chun'an also publicly stated that she would come to see the parade, saying that it was not because her grandson-in-law was also among them, but because there were many talents in the Ming Dynasty. How can you not watch such a prosperous era?
He also said that he would bring his daughter-in-law to come and let him know that he should urge his husband and his descendants to study and improve, and he would have such glory in the future and shine on his family.
With these words in front of us, many wives who were already tempted to watch the fun happened to be celebrating their children and bring their families to parade.
Therefore, on the 19th day, there are really crowds of people, which is a little more lively than the Lantern Festival.
The seats in restaurants and tea shops in Xiyuan were booked early. It is said that there are private rooms in private places such as Hufenglou and Huanxisha on the black market. It is said that the prices have increased by more than ten times, and the supply is still in short supply.
What made Shen Rui amazed was that the biggest pusher among them was His Majesty the Little Emperor himself. Brother Shou also specially asked Hufenglou to suppress a batch of private rooms, and also stocked up several restaurants, which pushed up the price before releasing it.
, make a big profit.
In fact, the little emperor was not short of this money. He had to go out with just one less hunting. He just liked the feeling of making money like this.
Each of these large-scale festivals in Xiyuan made Shou Ge not only enjoy the fun, but also made a lot of money to buy and sell it himself, but it was really only a fraction of the money. The big one was still in the tax revenue of various merchants.
When Shou Ge proudly mentioned it to Shen Rui, Shen Rui was really amused and crying, but he also sighed in his heart that the little emperor really should not be born in the imperial family, and it has delayed such a business genius.
*
On March 19th, many wealthy families set off early.
Although the main road of Xiyuan is wide, all four carriages can be used in parallel, and there are more than 100 meters on both sides for pedestrians. Who knows how many people will be there this day? If you go late, there are too many pedestrians, you are afraid of carriages.
Can't squeeze in.
In the elegant room with a great view of Huanxisha, Zhao Tong sat by the window, looking at the carriage and horses downstairs, eating sour plums, and teasing Yang Tian with a smile, "Oh, I'll ask you for this."
The boss’s wife is lucky, otherwise she would have to buy such a good land for a lot of money!”
Yang Tian spat lightly and said, "It's all about being a mother, so you won't have a good reputation!"
She said and looked at Zhao Tong's slightly raised belly with some concern, and said, "You are really, you ran out after just sitting firmly. Look at the crowds of people outside, and it bumped again, causing the fetal aura...
…”
Zhao Tong waved his hand and smiled, "Oh, don't worry, I have been practicing martial arts over the years and my body is strong. When my mother gave birth to our brothers and sisters, she could still punch and carry stone locks while pregnant. It's really okay. These three people
Yue held me in the house, but I was so tired of holding me up."
After a pause, he said to Yang Tian seriously: "Don't think I'm noisy, don't throw away the fists and feet that the Lu family's wife taught you. It's better to practice your little body and get married next month.
I soon had a child..."
Yang Tian's face was flushed with shame, and he hurriedly covered his ears and said, "You are talking nonsense again, I will ignore you..."
Zhao Tong smiled and said, "I will be my new wife next month, and I will be so embarrassed." He then took her hand and said, "We are the two of us here, why are we embarrassed? I'm serious.
Good things. Forget it, don’t turn your face and look at me anymore. It’s rare for me to come out. I just got sleepy and didn’t say a few words. Let’s talk carefully now. Are you still coughing in the spring?
”
Yang Tian frowned and then turned around. Seeing her teasing smile on her face, she couldn't help but spat softly and said, "Look at your smirk, you don't have to speak well!"
But he still smiled and replied seriously: "It's hard to bear winter, it's better to be warmer in spring. It's a little panting when it's cloudy, and it's no problem when it's sunny. It's much better than this time last year."
He said: "Actually, I am practicing boxing, but I am busy with housework. Sometimes I can't help but slack off. I will practice again when I turn around."
Zhao Tong nodded and said, "This is getting younger every year, but it's better to see. It's said that winter diseases are treated in summer. This year, you can apply the ginger juice recipe to your back, and next year it will be fine.
." He smiled again, "This Guizhi mother, where did she buy the local recipes in the market, they are really effective."
Yang Tian smiled and said, "Yes, it's a blessing for her."
Zhao Tong threw another plum and said, "Your sour plum stains are really good. I will pack a pack for my sister-in-law when I look back."
Yang Tian hurriedly instructed the eldest maid Banxia to go and find the shopkeeper. In addition to packing more plums, he asked if it was bought outside or made by his own. If it was his own thing, he copied the prescription.
When Banxia went out, Zhao Tong smiled so hard that her branches trembled, saying, "Before this, I have made this boss lady so generously, and I will give it to others at will?"
Yang Tian stomped her feet with shame, "If you talk like this, I'll leave!"
Zhao Tong hurried over and pulled Yang Tian over, smiled and apologized, "Okay, okay, mine is not. I won't joke with you anymore, let me spare this time!" He smiled and bowed like a man:
"I have thanked you for your prescription for my sister-in-law!"
Yang Tian was not really angry with her, but was embarrassed, and snorted lightly with a red face. Finally, he couldn't help asking: "Sister-in-law's appetite is not better yet?"
Zhao Tong sighed and said, "No. Who knows what happened to her? I have only been two or three months old and I have been having a bad appetite and have been nauseating from time to time. Now I have been four months old, and I can eat and sleep without delaying anything.
She is almost nine months old and she is still vomiting when she sees giving birth.”
Yang Tian also sighed. Guizhi's mother, who was beside her, was a stable woman and knew the most about women. The grandson of the British Duke and Duke You got up and had morning sickness. Yang Tian also invited Guizhi.
My mother wrote an anti-emetic recipe and sent it to her, but it didn't work.
Guizhi's mother also told Yang Tian that women have different pregnancy reactions. Usually, they will suffer from morning sickness when they are unstable in the first three months, and they will get better after three months, just like Zhao Tong now.
.But it is indeed like You, who vomits from beginning to end, which is not very rare.
If it is a poor family, this will be troublesome. In the end, the mother will lose her energy and will be more dangerous when giving birth. If she doesn’t eat, the child will easily be unable to grow well. If she loses her fetus, she will always be worse if she gives birth.
Fortunately, there are always many food supplements for wealthy families like the Duke of England that can be taken to You.
"Sister-in-law is such a weak person... she should also advise her to eat some." Yang Tian was really worried about You.
When she was attending a banquet with Yu, she met You several times. The noble daughter of the Prince Consort's Mansion and the grandson of the Duke's Mansion were not arrogant at all. She was gentle and treated very well with others.
Because of the relationship between Zhang Hui and her husband, and her younger brother Youxuan, who was a compatriot, also had a good relationship with Shen Rui, she treated Yang Tian very closely.
"Well, don't worry, my sister-in-law, looking at her delicate appearance, she is extremely strong inside. She often says that she should eat more for the sake of her children. She just vomited completely, and she could still hold back her head.
Those foods that I didn't like were stuffed into my mouth." Zhao Tong sighed deeply again, saying, "I am not as good as her in this regard. I was vomiting so hard that I could not drink a sip of water.
Go down.”
Both of them sighed together, and for a moment of silence, Zhao Tong whispered again: "You know the situation in our mansion, too. It's a blessing that she is so strong. I couldn't help her a while ago, so the old lady could have some help.
Later, the old lady became ill, so she was the only one who gritted her teeth and held it down... Fortunately, I didn't vomit like her. Now I'm going to be so happy. I'll hold on for her in the past two months and wait for her to give birth.
After the confinement period, I will come back and take over."
Yang Tian shook Zhao Tong's hand silently and said, "You should take care of yourself."
Zhao Tong held her tightly, but only smiled bitterly.
British Duke Zhang Mao had a few children and concubines, and seven sons of legitimate and illegitimate sons. The prince died early and although he was granted a grandson, he lost his father because his grandson was young, and an adult uncle was inevitably staring at the title.
After the death of his original wife Wang (Zhang Lun and Zhang Hui's biological grandmother), Zhang Mao returned to Xu.
This wife of Xu has nothing to do. She is old and always has to rely on the other side.
Looking at the mansion, the concubines' relatives of the concubines are still alive, and these old concubines are not easy to meet, so she doesn't want to make wedding dresses with others; the second son of the legitimate son Zhang Gang relies on his original identity as a legitimate son.
He has no respect for her and is cruel in character, so he is also an unfamiliar person.
In the end, Mrs. Xu chose the grandson.
After the grandson became married, Mrs. Xu took You by her side and taught her to steward her, and gradually handed over all the gifts from the Duke's mansion to her.
You are also a clear-cut person, so he naturally knows what to repay Mrs. Xu. The two of them are very good at getting along.
After You were pregnant, Zhang Gang's wife jumped out and said she could help the housekeeper. Not to mention that You refused, even Mrs. Xu would not give in. Mrs. Xu, who had already gradually retired, came out again and took her with her.
Zhao Tong supported everything at home.
Even if his second wife is also a serious wife, his wife naturally dare not say anything.
On the twelfth lunar month, Zhao Tong was also diagnosed with pregnancy. Although she was practicing her family's health, she was also sad when she caught up with morning sickness and was completely unable to manage the director.
