Chapter 1973 The wind and moon are boundless, and there is no sleep in the long peace


    ??Although almost the whole city of Chang''an was excited about the marriage of Hussar General Fei Qian and Cai Yan, and everyone was very happy, it is not ruled out that some people were not very happy, but even if they were unhappy, they had to pretend to be somewhat happy.


    For example, the two masters of Fei Xiongxuan.


    Yuan Shang and Liu Qi.


    Liu Qi actually met Fei Qian in Jingzhou. He never mentioned this, so few people knew about it.


    ??Back then, when Fei Qian was riding a carriage specially sent by Liu Jingzhou and wandering around Xiangyang, Liu Qi was among the crowd, sitting on horseback, and saw Fei Qian.


    In that year, Fei Qian was young and Liu Qi was young. There was nothing around Fei Qian. Pang Ji beside him was an official of his father, and the car he was riding in was his father''s canopy car. Even Fei Qian''s official position was given by his father...


    And now…


    Hi! If only I had known...


    The question is, who could have known it earlier?


    Liu Qi grunted, downed a glass of wine, then picked up a piece of meat and bit it viciously, as if eating an extra piece of meat at the Hussar General''s banquet would relieve his anger even more.


    ?Of course, as the son of Jingzhou Mu, Liu Qi still has some status, so he can have a quiet place in a remote room in the general''s mansion to sit with Yuan Shang.


    At the same time, because of their status, Liu Qi and Yuan Shang were sitting together. Except for the servants who occasionally came to add wine and food, no one came to talk to them or even deliberately avoided them. Therefore, Liu Qi did not want to sit down at all. After paying attention to those etiquettes, before the official start of the banquet, some people started to eat.


    ?Perhaps in Liu Qi''s subconscious mind, his behavior may help him vent his emotions a little bit...


    ?Compared to Liu Qi, Yuan Shang is not very interested in the meat and wine in front of him.


    As a pampered top nobleman, Yuan Shang is still very unaccustomed to the huge gap in his life now, even though it has lasted for some time.


    The wine has not been sifted, or not sifted cleanly, and there are still some adulterated residues. The dishes are mostly cold, and the meat is half-cooked and salt-free. Moreover, it is pork meat, which is more smelly than beef and sheep. How can we make it so? People swallow it?


    ??And this mat, it doesn’t need to be made of high-quality white grass. There are still some burrs in some places due to sitting for a long time, which made Yuan Shang feel that his buttocks even had a slight tingling...


    ?These days, for Yuan Shang, every day is really a torment.


    ?Liu Qi glanced sideways at Yuan Shang, suddenly sighed, and pushed the wine glass on the table toward Yuan Shang.


    Yuan Shang raised his head and looked at Liu Qi.


    Yuan Shang also had a bad relationship with Liu Qi before. The two of them looked down on each other, and it was awkward to have to live under the same roof. Although they were in Feixiongxuan, they rarely chatted with each other or interacted with each other. This time, Liu Qi took the initiative to hand over the wine. , even if it is not obvious, it is still a breakthrough.


    Yuan Shang lowered his head and looked at the wine glass.


    The wine is dim and yellow, and bits and pieces of lees residue are like dark brown insects swimming around in the wine.


    Liu Qi looked at Yuan Shang and then at the wine glass. After all, he was a little impatient. He reached out to grab the wine glass and was about to take it back, but was held down by Yuan Shang''s hand.


    Yuan Shang''s hands are thin and long. Because he has not done any work since he was a child, he has not even held anything heavier, he only used a pen to write, so the skin on his hands is extremely tender. Press it on the back of Liu Qi''s hand. It made Liu Qi feel as if a piece of silk had been placed on his hand.


    Liu Qi couldn''t help being stunned.


    Yuan Shang slowly took the wine glass away from Liu Qi''s fingers, then brought it to his mouth, covered it with his sleeve, drank it all, and then threw the empty glass back into Liu Qi''s hand.


    Yuan Shang closed his eyes and sat silently, as if he was not the one drinking just now.


    Liu Qi suddenly laughed, then smiled, and tears flowed out. He wiped them with his sleeves randomly, added a glass of wine himself, and drank it down...


    …(/□＼*)…


    On the other side, among the pavilions belonging to various female relatives, the personnel of the Zhiyin Academy occupied a large area, and there was a vague distinction between them and the general female relatives of the gentry.


    Compared to men, women are relatively more sensitive, especially when getting along with other women.


    ? Many times, men simply don’t understand why women have so much to talk about when they are together, just like women don’t understand why men can stay together for so long when they have nothing to talk about.


    It’s just that the topics discussed among the noble women this time seemed to be a little different than all the previous gatherings.


    Because this time, there is Wang Ying and Wang Shu.


    ??Although they are people from different places, they have the same surname of Wang, so they seem to be a little closer to each other.


    Wang Ying sat in the middle, surrounded by a circle of female members of the gentry. Everyone was observing, testing, and flattering, just like they did to the men in power at home.


    ??Wang Ying is the first woman to hold a serious title, so now she sits calmly and steadily. Regardless of what will happen to Wang Ying''s title in the future, at least it is useful now. The female relatives of the surrounding noble families may think that Wang Ying is unlucky, or they may think that Wang Ying will definitely be cut off in the future, but this does not hinder them. Her lips were in sync with each other, trying her best to hold Wang Ying in her arms without losing her grace or leaving any traces.


    It also does not prevent them from showing off to others after returning, showing how close they have been to the First Lady Han. If it weren''t for the lack of photography technology now, Wang Ying might have had a flash of flashes here, blinding everyone.


    Zhen Mi sat aside silently.


    ?This time, Zhen Mi''s decoration is very elegant and simple, and even her makeup is just as ordinary. If you don''t pay attention, you won''t even be able to find her among the large number of well-dressed noble women.


    In fact, Zhen Mi got up very early in the morning, and spent nearly two hours putting on a very exquisite makeup, and then put on carefully selected clothes, but soon, Zhen Mi I took off these clothes again, then spent half an hour washing off the exquisite makeup, and finally put on a slightly floral dress, then simply drew my eyebrows, licked the red, and nothing else, just Even the hairpin on his head is made of black silver and is inconspicuous.


    Because Zhen Mi knows that the protagonist today is not her. No matter how beautiful and touching she is, it will have no effect. It is like an exquisite vase standing at the corner of a house. People will only go there when they need it. Look, otherwise you will turn a blind eye most of the time.


    Zhen Mi watched quietly.


    Wang Ying, and then Zao Zhi''s wife, Wang Shu, who served in the Zhiyin Academy, whatever they said casually, could attract a group of noble women to either marvel or pretend to be amazed. Under such circumstances , Zhen Mi had nothing to say, she just sat quietly and watched quietly.


    ?Wang Shu is not easy to mess with.


    ?Although Wang Shu deliberately hid it, Zhen Mi knew that Wang Shu probably had some skills in him if he showed agility that was contrary to ordinary people.


    I don’t know if Zao Zhi and Wang Shu are in the room, which one will win...


    ?However, even Wang Shu seemed to be a foil in front of Wang Ying, like a good baby.


    As for Wang Ying, in Zhen Mi’s opinion, she is really dark and ugly. She doesn’t even know how to make use of her strengths and avoid weaknesses. Her face is painted white, but where is her neck? What about behind the ears? Where are the hands? It’s such a complete mess that I can’t bear to gamble!


    Speaking of it, he is just a lowly person who was lucky enough to reach a high position. Although he tried his best to hide it, his speech and behavior sometimes still did not conform to the etiquette standards of the gentry. Zhen Mi discovered at least four serious mistakes in Wang Ying''s behavior. For example, he stretched out his left hand when he should have stretched out his right hand. The right is superior to the left and the left is inferior. Do you understand?


    If it were an ordinary person, making such a low-level mistake would probably cause the person opposite to fall out on the spot, or laugh and ridicule him. But now, everyone around him is touching his hair and pinching his ears. I pinched my ears, I didn’t even see it just now...


    hehe.


    Zhen Mi lowered her eyes and looked at her long and thin fingers. I didn''t see it either.


    What is the most important thing in this world?


    Can change right and wrong, change rules, change ordinary people''s cognition, make what should be visible invisible, make what was originally ugly become beautiful, what was originally powerful become a good baby...


    Zhen Mi originally thought that the answer should be the so-called "money" that is often mentioned, but now...


    Zhen Mi raised her head and looked at the cheerful spectators around her. She also had a happy look on her face, just like the shells she had worn all year round.


    …ヽ()()…


    The descendants of noble families with some status can naturally wait in the pavilions in the courtyard of the government office. As for the rest of the people, those who can approach but are not yet qualified to enter the palace, most of them crowd around the square, talking and looking forward to it. .


    “I’m afraid Hussar’s move has a profound meaning...” A person who was standing near the Hussar’s residence to watch the ceremony suddenly sighed. When a person next to him heard this, he couldn''t help but show some doubts on his face.


    "oh? I don’t know your brother’s surname? ” The person from before saw it and said with his hands raised.


    ?Some people who were confused replied: "I''m going to Yang Zhong to chase after Yang..."


    "oh? But Hongnong people? ” There was a bit of enthusiasm in the voice.


    『Ah…this, I am a person from Tianshui…』


    "ah? Oh, haha...ah, I suddenly remembered that someone has something else to do, forgive me, forgive me, say goodbye, say goodbye..." The eager voice suddenly became colder.


    『Brother, do it yourself, do it yourself...』


    In this world, whether it is ancient or modern, even parents sometimes do not necessarily transmit all information to their children, let alone other people, even between nobles and nobles, even if They are from the same gentry family, and there is a deep gap between the big and small families, and between the aristocratic families and the country gentry.


    Between parents and children, it is called the generation gap, and between classes, it is a natural chasm.


    The gap between the new rules and the old customs is naturally not small.


    Fei Qian married Cai Yan this time, breaking many of the original habits, such as moving the wedding to daytime, holding the ceremony in Cai''s house, etc. These were originally contrary to old customs.


    Many things are similar. If there is a first time, there will soon be a second or third time. I believe that as word spreads about Fei Qian marrying Cai Yan, perhaps more people will hold weddings during the day...


    The breaking of one rule requires the establishment of another. Some people think that this is Fei Qian''s personal expression of some special meaning. They even think that Fei Qian does not miss this opportunity, which is simply too "husband". Some, but naturally many people don’t feel the need to share these things with others, because these are what they have thought about themselves, how can they give them out casually?


    In fact, Fei Qian changed the rules not for the so-called "deep meaning", but to solve some problems according to local conditions. After all, there are only a small number of people near the Cai Mansion, and the main people will gather near the General Hussars Mansion. Therefore, for Fei Qian Said, since the prison ceremony is to be held, it is obviously better to be in the Cai Mansion than in the Huqi Mansion Yamen...


    On the one hand, after all, there is Cai Yong''s spiritual tablet in Cai Yan''s place, which means that Fei Qian bows in front of Cai Yong. On the other hand, if he salutes the same prisoner in the Husband''s Mansion, and then turns around and Cai Yan wants to worship Huang Yueying, it will be somewhat inevitable. The gap in my heart naturally became less embarrassing after a period of buffering.


    So, if we talk about the deep meaning, I’m afraid that’s all.


    Fei Qian and his entourage arrived in front of the Huqi Mansion, while the long dowry baggage was still on the streets of Chang''an City. It was already approaching Unity Time. Although the winter solstice had passed and the sun was gradually getting longer, the daylight hours were still short and the sky was already slightly dusk. Therefore, lights were lit one after another near the Yamen of Hsiaoqi Mansion. The surroundings are crowded with guests and luxurious utensils. In addition, the hussar mansion that has been specially cleaned and decorated is extremely majestic and luxuriously furnished, which is even more amazing...


    People always have a very contradictory concept. On the one hand, they want their bosses to be honest and upright, and on the other hand, they want their bosses to be rich. Being rich means that they will have a successful career. Of course, if only one of the two can satisfy one, I often hope for more of the latter...


    Therefore, after seeing the luxury of the Huqi Mansion, especially the dazzling array of rare treasures from the Western Regions, and even the jade and gold nuggets inlaid on the ground for people to step on, the people watching the ceremony couldn''t help but smack their lips.


    Then a thought arose in my heart, in the Western Region, there is really gold everywhere, can you pick up jade at will?


    ??As for whether anyone is thinking of taking a piece of someone off guard and taking it away, it is unknown...


    ?Fei Qian walked to the side of the painting wheel carriage and stretched out his hands. Cai Yan held the fan in one hand and put his hand in Fei Qian''s hand, and Yingying got out of the car.


    Fei Qian whispered: "Welcome home..."


    Cai Yan was stunned for a moment, and then he squeezed Fei Qian''s hand firmly. His breathing seemed to have gradually become calmer. He raised his head slightly and looked at the eaves and pavilions in the general office, feeling a little dazed.


    Fei Qian did not rush him and stood quietly with Cai Yan.


    After a moment, Cai Yan smiled apologetically, lowered his head slightly, and moved forward slowly.


    Fei Qian led Cai Yan, and the Luan belt was tied together. He walked into the door amidst the singing of praises, passed through the foyer and tea room, and went straight into the main hall. He paid homage to the tablets of Fei Qian''s father and the tablets of Fei''s ancestors enshrined in the main hall. .


    When Fei Qian introduced Cai Yan to the ancestors of the Fei family, Pang Tong and Xun You still had a very important job to complete as the wedding envoys, which was to announce loudly at the door the dowry gifts that Cai Yan had brought, and every time a car passed by , it is necessary to report the items, so that the guests watching the ceremony will make envious sounds from time to time.


    Among these dowries, the most numerous and important ones are a large number of books. The numerous items and the huge number of books made the eyes of the nobles listening almost fall out, because they even heard a lot of things that they originally thought Either the title of the book has become extinct, or it is an only copy and will never be seen...


    『Nowadays, hussar, "bin" is also..." Du Ji stood aside and said softly.


    "Um? "Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Well..."


    The Hussar General''s Mansion occupies a large area, one-third of which is used as official residence, and the other two-thirds are the Hussar''s inner palace. Although the inner palace and the official residence are separated by left and right, there is a cave in the rear. The walls are connected and the square in front is shared, so in fact it is often called the left and right mansions. Feiqian''s inner palace is naturally located on the right, and the Guanse area is also called Zuofu.


    In addition to the reason for respecting the right in the Han Dynasty, the distinction between left and right was actually a very interesting thing in ancient times. The ancients'' understanding of left and right is related to good and bad luck. Good things go to the left, and bad things go to the right. According to the normal psychology of ordinary people seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune, the left should be considered big, which means big means nobility, and the right should be small, and small means humble.


    ??But in the army, it''s just the opposite. Soldiers are dangerous weapons, and saints have to use them as a last resort. It''s bad luck for the army to go out to fight. Therefore, the right is respected, with the general on the right and the general on the left.


    ??So Fei Qian is currently on the right in the inner palace, not entirely because of the big or small, but mainly because of the difference between civil and military affairs.


    ?Now, a gap in the text has been filled with the sound of singing and banging...


    Because there were so many people coming to watch the ceremony, even the You Mansion could not accommodate so many people, so in front of the Qiusi You Mansion, more than a hundred brocade tents were built on the square, and four to five hundred people The servants and maids were also busy laying out various banquet items, and then arranging people to sit according to their status. As a result, the more than 2,300 guests present were happy...


    With so many guests, it is naturally impossible for Fei Qian to be like a monkey, carrying a wine bottle around and being watched by others, so he is only in the inner palace and can enter the palace with his companions, which means that he is close to the inner circle of the Xijing political group. After a group of people have had a few drinks, they have completed the task of toasting.


    Even if the toasting process was simplified, it was close to midnight after Fei Qian finished walking around. After all, it is impossible to just take a sip and leave before reaching the table. You have to say a few words at least, a few words about this and a few words about that, and the time will naturally be extended a lot.


    ?Fei Qian walked slowly towards the backyard, while the laughter and noise in the front yard were still faint.


    Tonight, I am afraid that the entire Chang''an City is celebrating with Fei Qian, following Fei Qian''s excitement, and enduring the noise until the Ming Dynasty. Fei Qian''s breathing seems to be the shock to the general''s palace, Fei Qian''s laughter is the joy of Chang''an City, or is Fei Qian just a hussar general...


    ??Merely taking control of the Xijing Shangshutai...


    ?This is still on the way.


    Fei Qian shook his body and held on to the handrail. Although it was a small sip at a time, the amount added up unknowingly, and Fei Qian was slightly tipsy.


    ?The servant on the side wanted to step forward to help him, but Fei Qian pushed him away gently but firmly.


    He must walk this road, and he can only walk it alone.


    Fei Qian raised his head and looked up. The night sky was clear and a bright moon was tilted to the west.


    Fei Qian suddenly laughed, pointed at the moon, and shook his head. Where is the past life, where is the future life, where is the place of origin, and where is the way back, everything is hazy under the moonlight.


    Willow eyebrows, light red makeup.


    ?Cherry mouth, rest in panic.


    The breast is vaguely blue, the bean sprouts are evenly distributed, and the fat is condensed and fragrant.


    It looks like lush green leaves, new weeping tung seeds, full of purple medicine, and a lotus room.


    Dou Xiaohanquan, the flowers turned over and exposed, and he was busy around Wu Peak for the first time.


    To add to the melancholy, a touch of slender gown is like a red wall.


    ??Moreover, the two sides are sad and forgetful, and express their heartfelt feelings.


    ??In light drunkenness, the beauty is green and graceful, the bun is messy, and the black color is fragrant.


    ?The whimpering sound of the trumpet is indeed like the rippling stars...


    ...A horse and monkey clasped their hands together, bowed in front of the audience and muttered something. God, Buddha and other gods stretched their heads and came closer to listen. At first, they thought they were asking for votes and rewards, but when they listened carefully, they heard that the word "passed the trial" was being muttered. …
