There is a home in the depths of the white clouds

Chapter 257

So she used some tricks to have a "chance encounter" with Emperor Xianzong, and then cried in a mess, only asking for one thing: "I don't ask you to give the princess justice, I just ask you to give her a sequence of teeth, she will always be happy." It is the fourth princess of the concubine."

That means, Concubine Wan's daughter can only be the fifth princess!

Emperor Xianzong said angrily: "How can you let a baby who is less than a hundred days old be the first child?" Let alone a child who has just reached the full moon and is less than a hundred days old, it is a child of just a few years old, and he will die young before he is eight or nine years old Yes, can't it also be counted as sequence teeth?

This request is too much.

But Concubine Bai is tossing!

Holding Emperor Xianzong's thigh and crying, Emperor Xianzong couldn't stand it, so he had to agree to her request, and then he was able to get away.

But it also softened Emperor Xianzong's heart from crying. After all, she became a mother, and the child, whom he had never met, was also his daughter.

In addition, Concubine Bai was indeed the woman he liked before, and the current Emperor Xianzong is still very young. Apart from Concubine Wan, who is his true love, he also likes other women, especially Concubine Bai. Among the few women he liked at first, There is one Concubine Bai, who is good-looking, soft-spoken, and of good background.

She also gave birth to a daughter for him. Although the daughter died young, Concubine Bai is... worthy of pity.

When Concubine Bai came out, all the lumps in Emperor Xianzong's heart were cried away, and he regained Emperor Xianzong's eyes.

But during the filial piety period, Emperor Xianzong had a meal with her at most, but it also meant returning to favor.

Among them, I have to say that there was a lot of help left by the Empress Dowager Qian.

After Concubine Wan found out, she only said one sentence: "The emperor is kind!"

But when others found out, they were not convinced, especially those women who had lost their children, they all hated Concubine Bai to death.

But because she was still in Empress Dowager Ciyi's filial piety, no one dared to move casually, so she could only keep her filial piety honestly and cry.

In July Guiyou, Liu Yu, the governor and Tongzhi, was the deputy general of Pinglu, serving as the chief military officer, the eunuch Liu Xiang supervised the army, and the deputy capital censor Xiang Zhong supervised military affairs and asked Manjun.

During the national mourning period, this kind of thing can make people feel bad.

August Guisi, the capital earthquake.

Although the movement was not big, it still made people feel the earthquake.

Everyone said that it was because the empress dowager passed away that even the earth dragon turned over.

Yimao, Shu Yongdai Liu Yu was the commander-in-chief.

That month, Ren Shou, Chen Price, Wu Cong, general general officer of Ningxia, and Man Jun fought and lost. They all commanded Jiang Tai and Shen Cheng to be killed.

The news of the defeat made people even more anxious.

It was also because during Empress Dowager Ciyi's filial piety period, the Mid-Autumn Festival in August was not well spent.

As soon as the Mid-Autumn Festival is over, it should be harvested.

Autumn is a harvest season, and the whole world is paying attention to this important event. Even the emperor is in charge of the harvest.

The harvest of overseas crops planted this year has been bumper again, especially potatoes and sweet potatoes. The yield per mu in the first year was [-] catties, and in the second year it increased by [-] catties to [-] catties per mu. In the third year, the yield per mu increased again. Two hundred catties were harvested, and the yield per mu reached eight hundred catties!

And this year, the yield per mu has risen to a thousand catties!

Potatoes have also increased to [-] catties per mu; corn [-] catties.

The yield of the best top-grade fields is only [-] catties per mu, and it is said that they are carefully taken care of, fertilized hard, and weeded frequently.

Corn does not need it. It grows tall, strong, has large scions, and has a high yield. Wheat and rice are not resistant to blowing. If the wind is strong, the stalks will be bent and lost.

Seeing such a yield per mu, Emperor Xianzong immediately ordered that corn be allowed to be used as grain, and taxes on miscellaneous grains could be paid on behalf of them.

All of a sudden, the price of corn seeds soared.

However, Shang Ming has a good control of the first-hand seed resources. Some people outside are throwing away the seeds, but he gives a very low price, so that the common people can afford it.

However, because the corn seeds were sold well, which drove other crops, Shang Ming alone paid a lot of money for his Huangzhuang. Shang Ming generously saved it up, and planned to send it back to the palace after winter. , Let others see his ability of Shang Ming Shang Gonggong!

August is a busy month, but it is also a hard month, and it is also a harvest month. People are busy harvesting grain in the fields.

Wu Youwei asked people to do a good job of logistics, and what was delivered to the fields every day was braised pork in big bone soup, big white steamed buns, and cucumbers to clear autumn dryness.

After half a month of harvesting, the autumn harvest is finally over.

After the autumn harvest, the imperial court made arrangements immediately.

In September Gengshen, Empress Xiaozhuang Rui (that is, Empress Dowager Ciyi Qian) was buried in Yuling.

Knowing that she would also be buried in Yuling, the Empress Dowager Zhou secretly played tricks and changed the design of Yingzong's tomb so that she could be buried with Yingzong in the future. Moreover, although Queen Mother Qian and Yingzong are in the same tomb, they are buried in a different tunnel, and the burial place is far from Yingzong Xuantang For a few feet, the tunnel in the middle was filled, while the tunnel on the right of Queen Mother Zhou was empty. This kind of thing naturally did not happen.

In order for his mother not to be lonely after death, Emperor Xianzong designed two symmetrical halls in the underground mausoleum, the left and right side halls, each with a coffin bed made of white marble in the middle, and the two side halls have corridors and naves connected.

In the middle hall, there are three white marble seats placed one in front and two in the back, and the five offerings and ever-burning lamps of the emperor and empress are placed.

Now the coffin of the first emperor and the coffin of Empress Dowager Qian have been placed, and the remaining space is reserved for Empress Dowager Zhou, and it is the same distance as Empress Dowager Qian’s coffin from Emperor Yingzong. heal.After the burial, it will be the Double Ninth Festival in September.

Every year on Chongyang, Wantong and Wu Youwei go to climb alone.

On the mountain behind their house, the two stood side by side, looking at the picturesque scenery in the distance, laughing and laughing nearby, and felt that the years were quiet and beautiful.

"Thanks to the idea you gave, the Empress Dowager is showing off her beauty now." Wantong sighed: "Even the emperor said that this idea is good, and the ministers are so blocked that they are speechless."

"I'm just talking about the facts." Wu Youwei said: "This is an experience.

"Talk from experience?"

"That's right!" Wu Youwei said with a smile: "My mother came from a humble background. When my aunt was around, she couldn't even leave the courtyard. Now? I'll designate my mother as the ancestor of my branch. Who can say no? When I become an ancestor, who can say that my mother is not an ancestor?"

This is the benefit of dividing the family and clan, one person has the final say.

In fact, if you think about it differently, isn't the emperor now the only one who has the final say?You are already the emperor, but you are still controlled by others, what's the fun in being an emperor?

"That's right." Wantong said with a smile: "It really is!

Wu Youwei looked at the long white clouds in the distant sky: "When we die, we will be buried together."

Well, buried together. Wantong held his hand and looked at the sky with him, Yunjuanyunshu: "Born with the same fur, and died with the same cave."

After the Double Ninth Festival, Wu Youwei began to preside over marrying a younger sister.

After the death of the Queen Mother, the folks wear mourning for a hundred days, and they can get married after a hundred days, but the royal family members are forbidden to marry for one year.

Narcissus was the first to marry.

After making a fuss, Wu Youwei went out with her on his back and got into the sedan chair.

Laba bought a house in Wujia Village. He is Jinyiwei and has Wuxun Farmland. Wu Youwei bought [-] acres of land for Narcissus, which is also in the outskirts of Beijing. There is a little rent every year to collect grain, and then the family does not need to spend money to buy it. Food is gone.

Coupled with a generous dowry and Laba's own savings, the couple's life is absolutely prosperous.

After Narcissus gets married in a beautiful manner, the twelfth of October will be Begonia.

In addition, the annual donation activity has started again, butler Lin Su is busy donating everywhere.

However, Wu Youwei packed his things, went to the courtyard next door to Fushi Mansion in Jingzhong Town, and devoted himself to studying hard.

Zhang Sheng and Yang Yiqing, Wu Qiong and Zhang Sheng's son Zhang Yuanxi were also there.

Wantong is not at home very much, but the housekeeper Wanfu watches over the diet and daily life of the five people, and the daily meals are arranged reasonably. The most important thing is that they have to simulate the exam in the mock room!

At this time, the temperature is about the same as in early spring. A group of five people, in five small rooms, is closed for one day. Not only must it be closed, but also make a fuss. The Gong bucket is placed next to it. People, all of them have been on duty in the Gongyuan in the past, and now they have retired. The appearance fee of the old guards is not cheap, imitating everything in the examination room, telling them when to send water, put candles, and when to give charcoal fire, etc.

Who would want them to cook for themselves?

Wu Youwei thought it over, and when the time comes, he will make some warm food in the space and bring it in. Anyway, he won't be found, so at least he should eat some warm food, otherwise it will be too miserable!

Those who gave them questions were naturally Li Dongyang, Liu Daxia, Liu Jian and other people who had passed the exam, and two instructors also gave them two exam questions from time to time.

As a result, everyone was burnt on the first day.

"I didn't expect the imperial examination to look like this!" Wu Qiong, who had never taken the exam, didn't know how he survived, and Gong Tong was in the same room as him, where he could eat, drink, and drink. It's so hard to sleep there.

At the same time, I admire my husband and uncles very much.

In this case, you can pass the exam, it's amazing!

"This is the worst environment for the simulation." Wu Youwei said nothing, but Zhang Sheng has experience: "For example, if you get a room facing the wind and next to the toilet, then you are out of luck.

"There are also water leaks, if you encounter spring rain, you will be unlucky." Yang Yiqing said: "And the dilapidated ones, even the soldiers patrolling the field can interrupt your writing if they walk loudly.

If it happened to be the route of patrolling the field, it wouldn't be that a group of soldiers passed by in a while, and a group of soldiers passed by in a while.

So what they are simulating now is the worst condition. Under this condition, they can concentrate on writing articles and take the test, and it will be easier to adapt to the test room in the future.

Not only do they have to mock exams, they also have to do gymnastics with Wu Youwei every morning, and they are also required to run around the garden in the backyard twice to increase their physical strength.

At the same time, because some Juzis have already entered Beijing, the two masters also asked them to get in touch with others, especially the Juzis who arrived first are basically the Juzis from the south. The farther they are from Beijing, the earlier they come, because they I was afraid that the sailors would not accept it and would not be able to try it, so I went to Beijing early to get used to it.

And Lauren also asked someone to send a letter, and along with the letter came eight local scholars.

Luo Lun said in the letter that two of these eight are his wife's clan brothers, who have already married in the south, and his daughter-in-law is the second daughter of the patriarch of the local big family.

Her older sister was the wife of the patriarch of another large family.

He is very satisfied with this wife. After getting married, she will be filial to her parents, and the dowry is generous. Of course, his dowry is also quite a lot.

At the same time, he is considered his own in the local area, and many things have been carried out very well, including the double-cropping rice, which they took the initiative to learn to plant.

The situation of Sanjidao is still being explored, and the eight local scholars who came here are all talented people, and they don't know what the situation in Beijing is, so they asked him to take care of one or two on their behalf.

Wu Youwei simply arranged them to live here, and Zhang Sheng generously dragged the eight of them into the room for the mock exam.

Wu Youwei secretly called this room the Little Black Room.

Sure enough, on the first day, these people were also burnt.

They also need to relax in their studies, take two days off every five days, clear their minds, and go home once.

Others are fine, but Zhang Sheng must go back and take his son with him.

And Wu Youwei decided for himself to go back once a month, the first was to marry his sister, and the second was to take Wu Qiong back to see Wu Mengshi and Wu Li'er.

The eight Juren from the south were a bit awkward to speak Mandarin, so Steward Wanfu had to send two clever young men to act as oral language teachers to chat with them every day and teach them Mandarin.

Mandarin is the ancient Beijing dialect, now called "Mandarin...
