There is a home in the depths of the white clouds

Chapter 124 Zhou Ying's Thoughts

Wu Jun didn't care, but Wu Ying did. After he returned, he went to the most gentle and considerate Aunt Xuan.

Hemerocallis was born as a servant girl, she is more gentle and considerate than the young mistress, she can put down her figure, and knows how to please Wu Ying, the young master.

Now that the whole family has been granted good registration, she is also a son of a good family now.

Seeing Wu Ying, she smiled sweetly, was gentle and considerate, but unfortunately, Wu Ying thought of Wu Youwei as soon as she saw her, and her face became ugly: "Remember you used to be that useless big maid?"

Hemerocallis was stunned, but she said with distaste on her face: "This servant didn't want to go, if it wasn't for the old lady's order, this servant would not go there, bad luck!"

"What's the bad luck?" Wu Ying sat there, only looking at the day lilies coldly.

"You don't know, what kind of life is his last big maid..." Hemerocallis vividly described the life of the current maid, who had to get up before dawn in the morning, tidy up her room, and leave the room Afterwards, she had to go to the barn to get chicken food, duck food, goose food, and other poultry food. After putting them in, while the poultry was eating, she had to go in and clean up, sweeping duck poop, chicken poop, etc., cleaning Afterwards, these things are also full, or wandering outside, or coming in to lay eggs, she has to leave.

Then I changed my clothes, because of the smell all over my body, I couldn't take a shower immediately. Without that condition, I had to go to Xiaojiaomen to get a food box, which contained breakfast, breakfast for her and my little uncle.

Since the little uncle provoked people with the food box, I was scalded several times as a pig, and then it was her who went to get the food box....

After breakfast, I have to pick eggs, feed the poultry, and do needlework, because she only makes clothes for herself and her uncle, and all the fabrics and needlework are given to her.

In addition to the feed, there are calcium supplements such as rotten fish and rotten shrimp for geese and ducks, small screws for chickens, etc...

"I'm not idle all day long. I heard that those with poor hands are like servants." Hemerocallis shuddered when she thought of what she heard that day: "If slaves fall to that level, they might as well die!"

Well, Wu Ying likes to hear what she said, but there is one more thing that he is more interested in: "Who do you think got burned?"

Hemerocallis started talking about her little uncle again, flirting with the chef's daughter, slandering through the wall, causing people to boil water and pour it over, making her burnt like a pig...

After a whole night of coaxing, the young master was finally coaxed. The two of them spent the night sweetly. On the second day, Wu Ying also rewarded day lilies with a gold hairpin and a pair of silver bracelets.

When the young mistress heard about it, she was very angry: "He is really generous!"

"Young mistress, why does this young master love that maid so much?" The young mistress's dowry nanny was even more unhappy: "You are his wife!"

"What can I do?" The young lady became even more gloomy: "In the past, the Wu family could rely on my aunt's help, but now? Their family has a queen, and my aunt can't hold back my mother-in-law anymore.

"Ma'am..." The nanny couldn't help it.

In the beginning, because he was afraid of delaying the eldest lady, he hurriedly arranged the wedding ceremony. How long did it take from the beginning to get married?

Hurriedly married the young lady into the family, as if he was afraid that the aunt would not help him, but when the young lady was canonized as the imperial decree, the madam changed her face.

At first, he was very kind to the lady, but later he disliked the lady.

The meaning inside and outside the words is that the young lady's family is not high enough, and they are worthy of the Wu family...

When getting married, according to their family status, the two families are in the same family, and their family is a little bit taller. Before they got married, they talked very nicely, and the dowry was generous, but now, they turned their faces and refused to recognize anyone!

Mrs. Wu Sun teases her every day, serving tea, pouring water, beating fans, beating her legs... When eating, she is also required to serve her around, pick up vegetables and serve soup, and treat her like a big maid!

What's even more exaggerated is that he also met the concubine daughters of two small official families, intending to bring them in as nobles...

Thinking of this, the eldest young mistress wanted to cry, what kind of life is she living?

But she is not a soft persimmon, her mother-in-law teases her, and when she comes back, she teases her son's concubine and housemate, especially day lilies and peony!

These two mothers-in-law praised more than one...

The harem was very lively, and the backyard of the Wu Mansion was also very lively.

Hemerocallis knew what she was going to do when the young lady called her over. She was already mentally prepared, but the young master was in a bad mood yesterday, and she couldn't figure out why. Could it be that the young master did something to make the big Master is angry?

"Auntie, the eldest and youngest mistresses are still waiting." The maid beside her reminded her: "It's late, it should be another matter.

"I see, Ya'er, don't go, just stay here, um, embroider a flower for me." It's fine to suffer by yourself, and it's not easy for the maid to bring her along.

Ya'er was moved to tears: "If Ya'er doesn't go, what will you do?"

"I'll just go." Hemerocallis smiled and said, "Eldest Young Mistress is a well-behaved person.

I won't treat you badly on the surface, but there are endless tricks behind the scenes to make you dumb and eat Coptis chinensis, and you can't tell the pain...

On the other side, Wu Ying went out again, and only asked Zhou Ying to go to a roast duck restaurant to eat fruit wood roast duck.

Now the fruit wood roast duck is popular all over the capital. With the end of the emperor's wedding, many people who came to the wedding went back and pushed the fruit wood roast duck to the whole world.

If you want to eat fruit wood roast duck, you have to make a reservation first.

However, the two of them have special identities. When they arrive at the roast duck restaurant, they will have a place to sit and eat roast duck.

Zhou Ying ate roast duck while listening to Wu Ying. Wu Ying told him all the grievances between the Wu family's sons and daughters, and especially emphasized that Wu's mother was a vain village girl, but she didn't say anything about it. The village girl is the only daughter of an old scholar who originally wanted to recruit a son-in-law in her hometown....

"Then what do you want?" Zhou Ying is an ignorant person, and thanks to an old aunt who is the Queen Mother, she is now number one in the dandy circle in Beijing.

I think it's trivial to deal with a small person.

"I want him...to be ruined!" Wu Ying said viciously: "He claims to be full of talent, and those people treat him as if he is a genius. I will let people know that he is nothing! He is just a bastard. , everyone who passed the exam should burn incense

"You want to make him look bad?" Zhou Ying thought for a while, "Maybe, find someone more talented and beat him up? Literati, aren't they all like that.

"I don't know any literati, so I have to beg you, Brother Zhou." Wu Ying was still a little self-aware. Those people he knew had already been seen when he got married, and none of them were useless opponents. Going forward to provoke is to add luster to the other party, but if you want to find someone who can suppress the useless one in terms of talent and learning, then you have to find a real scholar.

and.And you have to be a smart reader.

But where would he find such a person?

But anyone with a little bit of talent has a character, and a talent without a character is probably not very good...

"I know a few, but their talents and learning are just that. Your little uncle can pass the exam when he was young, so he must be good at reading, so we can't compete with him for the serious books and the things on it, so it's better to take the edge.

Zhou Ying also has the experience of competing with others. She knows what a scholar is like, and what a soldier's son is like. She is much more experienced than Wu Ying and Wu Qingyu.

Wu Ying didn't understand: "The sword is slanted? How do you say it?"

"You said someone invited him to the Qunfang Pavilion?" Zhou Ying said, "Poetry reciting is no match for us, and the talent of the recruited may not be able to defeat him."

Wu Ying nodded. He didn't want to admit it, because he was a person who went out with Wu Youwei. He knew that Wu Youwei was really outstanding in this aspect, and even Pinyuan Tea House was satisfied.

His status has improved, and he also knows some things that he didn't know before, such as Yayuan, it is said that the backer is Jinyiwei.

It's not someone from Jinyiwei, but Jinyiwei opened it. It's the property of Jinyiwei. That place is a place to collect news about literati.

It's also a place to look for talents. This is what Zhou Ying told him to be smart. No one dares to act wild in that place.

Wu Ying tried it, but he was still listed as a refusal to come and go.

He is already an uncle of the country, and Jin Yiwei still doesn't buy it!

No wonder my father didn't have a title, no honor from the head of the state, but he was just promoted two ranks, but he seemed so happy...

"Then what should we do?" Wu Ying was unconvinced: "Is it just to let him live comfortably like that?"

"Reciting poems is not right, he can sing lyrics and compose music, but he may not be good at it." Zhou Ying said: "The four oirans in Qunfang Pavilion, Chunlan Qiuju, Xiahe Dongmei are all the best at playing and singing."

One reason Wu Ying used to have was that he had no money, so he couldn't meet the oiran in Qunfang Pavilion; the other reason was that he had to pretend to be sick and weak, so it was impossible to play with women in brothels.

Now that he has status and money, he hasn't had a chance to see him yet!

In this respect, Zhou Ying is better than him. Zhou Ying's family rose up as early as when his aunt became Huang Guifei.

Wu Ying really didn't expect this: "You mean, let him...play music in the brothel Chu Pavilion?"

This is really an embarrassing thing to lose!

Scholars pay attention to "if the warehouse is real, you will know etiquette; if you have enough food and clothing, you will know honor and disgrace."

The "Confucius Family" in "Historical Records" records: The sage Confucius was an official in charge of rites many times in the previous generation, and Confucius learned rites when he was young.

In ancient ancestral temple sacrifices, the government established ceremonial offices such as the Taichang Temple and the Ancestral Sacrifice Office, and set up ceremonial officials such as the Zhuguan, Zanlilang, and Sicheng.

For example, in the Tang Dynasty, six departments were established: Jiaoshe, Taile, Advocacy, Imperial Physician, Taibu, and Linxi.

In the Ming Dynasty, the Taichang Division was set up, and the Taichang Division had Qing, Shaoqing, Cheng, Dianbo, Xielu Lang, Doctor, and Zan Lilang.

According to legend, Confucius once "asked about etiquette from Lao Dan, learned joy from Chang Hong, and learned piano from Shi Xiang".

Therefore, scholars pay attention to the six arts of a gentleman.

"Baoshi" in "Zhou Li": "Raising the sons of the country with the Tao is to teach the six arts: five rituals on one day, six music on the second day, five shooting on the third day, five defenses on the fourth day, six books on the fifth day, and six books on the sixth day. Nine numbers." This is the so-called "six arts" of "combine the five classics and practice the six arts".

The six arts require students to master six basic talents: rites, music, archery, imperialism, calligraphy, and mathematics.

The "music" in it is the six kinds of music.Six Music: Refers to the six music and dance sets of "Yunmen Dajuan", "Xianchi", "Dashao", "Daxia", "Dahu" and "Dawu".

The earliest ceremonial music and dance in ancient times, "Cloud Gate Scroll".

There was "Xianchi" in Yao Dynasty.

During the time of Shun, there was "Da Shao".

Yushi had "Great Xia".

In Shang Dynasty, there was "Big Han".

There is "Da Wu" in Zhou Shi.

These are all famous ceremonial music and dances in ancient times.

The complete six sets of music and dance were preserved in the Zhou Dynasty, and became six musics, which were used in major sacrificial activities: "Cloud Gate Dajuan" was used to worship the gods of heaven; "Xianchi" was used to worship the gods of the earth; "Da Xia" sacrifices mountains and rivers; "Da Hu" sacrifices Jiang Yuan, the ancestor of the Zhou Dynasty; "Da Wu" sacrifices the ancestors of the Zhou Dynasty.The six musics were handed down to the Han Dynasty, and there were only two musics, "Da Shao" and "Da Wu".

Confucius claimed that he had heard Shao music, and he praised it greatly, saying that its music and dance were perfect.

But among these things, love words and pornographic songs are not included!

"Let's make a move. It's not okay for the master to play and sing. Beware of being impeached by the censor and we bully scholars." This crime is too big, even the emperor can't bear it, let alone the two of them, Zhou Ying said: "You can let him write lyrics and music on the spot. Let the oirans play and sing live, since they are talented, they should be quick-witted, right?"

"He...what if?" Wu Ying was worried, he really didn't know much about that useless one.

"I heard that your little uncle hasn't married yet?" Zhou Ying asked an irrelevant question.

yes! "Wu Ying threw down the half-gnawed duck bone: "I don't even have a housekeeper. She cleans herself up like a monk."
