The Palace of Peach and Plum

Chapter 39:

Clothes in ancient times were hand-embroidered, and the length of their work can be imagined.

But if there are a lot of embroiderers at home, and there is no need for an overall pattern, the clothes can be made very quickly.

The reason why Li Yin’s piece of cloth is so precious is that the pattern has been woven into it during the weaving process, and it is all of the same color, which is a test of craftsmanship, and the emperor would hardly give it to others. The fabric itself has auspicious cloud patterns. As long as some decorative auspicious clouds or vine patterns are embroidered on the neckline, cuffs, and hem, it is already very gorgeous.

Because of the rush to work, Li Ying believed that the embroiderers of Ling Wei’s family were not enough, so he asked the embroiderers of the palace to join in, and they were ready one by one quickly. Ling Wei tried it, feeling flustered with a blank face.

This color is also too gorgeous. Although there are quite a few noble boys wearing bright colors on the street, he is not used to it. I always feel that if you carry a big red flower, you can worship.

But except for Ling Wei himself, everyone said the clothes were good, even Li Ying said the same. Ling Wei was reluctant to bear this expensive new dress, so he put it on during Lu Ming’s feast.

In the history before Ling Wei’s crossing, the Lu Ming Banquet was supposed to be the day after the township test was released to entertain the new imperial examination officials and the internal and external curtain officials. The song “Lu Ming” in the “Book of Songs” was called “Deer Ming Banquet.” But in this dynasty, Lu Mingyan will be on the list ten days later.

Ling Wei thinks about it, and thinks it makes sense. The exams were waiting for the list to be released, and all the students were sluggish, walking in a whirlpool. If it is the second day of the ranking, I will go to the Luming Banquet. After resting for ten days, he was relieved anyhow. Everyone attended the banquet in vigor, and it was more lively and more comfortable to look at.

When the exam papers can be sold publicly, the court will sell the top few exam papers the next day after the list is released. Part of the proceeds will be used for the Luming Banquet, which also reduces the burden on the court. There is a ten-day deadline, which can be regarded as raising money for the Lu Ming banquet.

Of course, this move was called insulting by some ministers of the DPRK and China. But it was refuted that the scholar had to ask for money for pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Since you think it is insulting to buy with money, then you let those shops give it away for nothing. The buying and selling of calligraphy and painting books is considered an elegant event, and it is certainly an elegant event to use the money earned by the event to hold a feast for scholars.

This argument is well-founded and convincing, so the funding for Lu Mingyan was decided.

This year, Ling Wei came out, and the papers sold very well. In particular, the two test papers of its classic meaning and poetry are sold out. Therefore, Ling Wei is considered the biggest contributor to this deer banquet. The official in charge saw Ling Wei and smiled like a toothache.

Ling Wei: “…”

Shouldn’t you smile like a flower?

“Ling Jieyuan, fortunate to be able to meet.” A thin middle-aged man smiled at Ling Wei, “I’m in the next Jiaocheng, the word is great.”

Ling Wei bowed his hands: “Jiao Yakui, fortunate enough to meet.”

Jiao Cheng was taken aback for a moment, apparently he didn’t expect Ling Wei to know his ranking. He thought that this kind of genius was a person with a higher eye than the top, and he wouldn’t look at the person who ranked below him. His smile became more cordial: “Ling Jieyuan directly addresses the word below.”

Character? Dacheng? This always sounds full of rustic flavor. Ling Wei blinked and said with a smile: “Brother Dacheng can also call me by the word.”

Ling Wei’s word Jintang, this has been spread long ago, so he doesn’t need to introduce it again.

“Ling Jieyuan is so arrogant, he doesn’t need to be polite.” The student next to him didn’t know if he was stupid, and suddenly said something like this. Ling Wei didn’t feel anything yet, but he couldn’t help feeling Jiaocheng.

Ling Wei was too lazy to explain, glanced at the resentful scholar, Shi Shiran sat at the top of the list.

“Look, this kind of person is also worthy of Jie Yuan!” The scholar was even more angry, while the others quietly moved their steps away from him.

It is estimated that one of his classmates could not help but pull him a bit, explaining: “Ling Jieyuan has a title.”

Having a title is equivalent to an official. Although Ling Wei is the lowest-ranked founding male, it is also equivalent to the fifth rank, and even some of the invigilators present are not as high-rank as Ling Wei. This official called himself “I” to the people as a modest name, even if he is a fellow of the same generation, it is all right to call himself “I”. It’s not to face the senior officials, so the face full of jealousy is really ugly.

The classmate couldn’t help thinking, this person has no wink, and even his character is worrying, so he will still be far away in the future.

The scholar estimated that he had always regarded himself very highly, did not inquire about Ling Wei’s identity, only heard that he had spread the arrogant rumors of meeting Sanyuan Jidi early, and had always been very hostile to Ling Wei. He originally regarded Xie Yuan as something in his pocket, but he was also quite knowledgeable and earned the name Jingkui. But I always feel Ling

Wei robbed him of Xie Yuan and kept on it.

As for the person who had won the Asian Yuan before him, he looked gray-haired, so naturally it was not easy to compare.

Ling Wei was even more lazy to care about such people. He doesn’t hear things outside the window, and he only reads the sages’ books, which is a curse. Your imperial examination is just for being an official, what kind of official who doesn’t care about affairs outside the window? He doesn’t care about offending people in a large court like Lu Mingyan, and some people dislike his narrow-mindedness and will not be a human being.

Before he became an official, he was dismissed by the same imperial examination person. Is this official career going on?

At the Luming Banquet, there were many people who admired Ling Wei and wanted to take this opportunity to talk to Ling Weipan for advice. Some of them may still feel a little dissatisfied in their hearts, but after talking with Ling Wei, their previous dissatisfaction turned into deep admiration.

The examiners also listened with their ears erected, and finally had to admire that Zhao Jijiu was so thrilled every day, and there was indeed a reason to do so. If they had such a disciple or nephew, they would definitely not be able to help themselves every day.

“I thought that Ling Jieyuan’s Scriptures were all right, but just happened to read the relevant books.” Jiao Cheng shook his head in shame, “Ling Jieyuan’s vastness now seems to be embarrassing.”

“My teacher is Guozijian Jijiu, and the books in his home are different from ordinary people.” Ling Wei pointed to his nose and sneered, “You really think that what the teacher said to let me practice calligraphy before the test is simple. Do you practice calligraphy? It is said that reading breaks ten thousand books, and writing as if there is a god. When my teacher came to my teacher, he disliked my weak foundation, so he asked me to “copy books and break ten thousand books”. Otherwise, how can I practice this kind of handwriting? ?”

The people around were shocked when they heard it.

It is true. If you talk about poetry and composition, you can also talk about talent. But that character is not talented, and must be practiced hard.

I heard that when Ling Wei just returned to Yan Chao, he couldn’t even pick up a brush. Now in just over three years, his characters have been judged to have seen his unique character, and if some time passes, he will be called everybody. It is conceivable that the pain of practicing calligraphy.

As Ling Wei became Xieyuan, some of his anecdotes were also spread out by some talkative people. Like his teacher, it’s old news that he doesn’t know how to combine poems and fight poems. When he first practiced calligraphy, he set up several large water tanks at the door in order to erect the skeleton of the characters. The fact that I ran out of words before I started writing other characters was also revealed.

People all over the world admire it, and those who ask college questions often have great perseverance.

Now that Ling Wei laughed and talked about his teacher’s “preparing for exams and practicing calligraphy”, the talent next to him suddenly realized. This is not allowed to prepare for the exam, this is the preparation for the exam. Before, everyone only thought of the words above, but where did the words come from? What is written in the practice calligraphy? No one noticed.

Now I heard that Zhao Jijiu deserves to be everyone. Others are practicing articles and poems, but he let Ling Wei lay the foundation.

Copy books and break thousands of books, write as if there is a god.

It sounds easy, how many people can do it?

If it is true that every book I have read more than several times, then the meaning of the scriptures can be all right, and it is natural.

“I don’t know if the books that Ling Jieyuan copied can fill a room.” Jiao Cheng sighed.

Ling Wei touched his nose and said embarrassedly: “I wrote silently the books in the study and library of my mansion. The teacher once called me a thief.”

The scholars next to him were taken aback, and then laughed.

Those with a slightly sharper mind caught that if the books in Ling Wei’s mansion were all written by him silently, then did Ling Wei not even get a single book from the turbulent branch of the Lu Kingdom’s mansion before? This gold and silver book is priceless. Orphans can’t be bought even if they have money, and they are often regarded as the foundation of a family.

However, they are not familiar with Ling Wei. I just think about other people’s family affairs, and I sigh in my heart that Lu Guogong really has a loss of personal morality, that’s it.

After the Lu Ming banquet, Ling Wei’s talent is considered to be solid.

Even if they had to understand Yuan before, some people were still not convinced. But after Lu Mingyan’s conversation “fight”, he had to be convinced.

No matter which book you ask about the knowledge, Ling Wei can almost answer it, and it is very detailed. The manuscripts in his belly can’t be said to be as many as ten thousand volumes.

“Reading to break thousands of books, writing as if there is a god”, and the anecdote between Zhao Jijiu and Ling Wei’s teacher and apprentice about “practicing calligraphy, copying books” and ‘stealing books” have also become well-known good talks.

When Ling Wei saw some of his own “anomalies” in the textbook, he couldn’t help but sigh, this is… red, right?

Tsk tsk, even the real person and humanities are there, it’s not red.

Is it shameful and swollen just to see your real person and humanities?

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

After the township examination is over, it is not immediately after preparing for the test, but preparing for the Chinese New Year.

This year is the first year that Ling Wei has passed since he separated. For Ling Wei, it was also the first year after he really had a home.

Because the first year after the separation had to be spent in a new home, Ling Yun thought that Ling Wei was alone, and there was not even a caring person in the mansion, so he couldn’t help but shed tears from the man again.

Ling Wei felt that why his elder brother loves to cry so much, if a man has tears, he does not flick, and he shed tears at every turn, how can you lead soldiers to fight. It was agreed to quickly pick up the power of Lord Lu, and then let the princess live a free and free life from now on?

As for loneliness, Ling Wei really didn’t think.

Although he has no relatives, there are many people in his mansion. This Chinese New Year is also very lively.

Probably because the master’s family is kind and motivated, not only is the life going well now, but also can look forward to a better future. Every subordinate in Ling Mansion has a happy smile on his face, looking happier than Ling Wei.

The goods for the new year were also prepared early.

I have to say that the subordinates Li Yin found really have two brushes.

For example, Mr. Su Weisu, the housekeeper, Ling Wei felt that being a housekeeper was simply too violent. He keeps the management of the mansion in order, can also act as a counselor when Ling Wei is confused, and even has two brushes in the management of the outside industry.

“Bo Su, you should be an official.” Ling Wei sighed.

Su Wei couldn’t make a smile: “The little one is a pariah, how can you be an official? The master doesn’t dislike the little one, he can let the little one be the housekeeper, and the little one is already very moved.”

Ling Wei sighed and shook his head: “The prince general Xiangning is kind.”

Suvi smiled silently.

Everyone in this house is talented, but it is impossible to get ahead by yourself.

He was born as a pariah himself, and could not perform imperial examinations for three generations. Others had injuries on their faces; some had slight disabilities in their hands and feet. Even if there is nothing wrong with the birth and body, but with a craftsmanship and working outside, how can he be better than the current person in the high gate compound?

Especially when a good person like their little master is the head of the house, it is tens of thousands of times stronger than outside.

However, it was precisely because the little master had this idea that they would let these soldiers lay down their hostility and follow him desperately.

Su Wei raised his head and glanced at the Qin Mansion separated by a wall. Even though the prince is their savior, but now the first in their hearts has become the little master. The little master has the grace to recreate them.

Although the little master didn’t feel it at all.

But speaking of it, the prince and the little master are the first and the second, and they are not allowed to hesitate.

Su Wei smiled slyly, and slowly went to the account room to check the accounts with his back on his back.

The first profit from this tea plantation is back, and this year will definitely have a lively and lively year.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

This Lunar New Year’s Eve, Li Ying is going to the palace for a family dinner. After discussing with Ling Wei, he simply opened the small door and the people in the two houses celebrated the New Year together.

Ling Wei was not too crowded to find excitement, so naturally he agreed.

It’s just that Guanshi Nasu and Guanshi Ning from the palace have a headache.

There are too many people. Most people in the palace still have official positions. The order of seats is a headache.

But fortunately, Qin’s servants were as informal as Qin’s king himself, and the guards of the palace were mixed with the guards of Ling’s palace, and they didn’t look like an official. Even some of them were once comrades-in-arms. Then get closer.

For example, Ling Wei’s cook is entangled in the royal palace’s guards chief who are two hard-core comrades who have slept in a Chase shop. Although the two have different backgrounds and different status now, the feelings spelled out from the pile of dead people are still there.

With this level of relationship, coupled with Ling Wei’s “bad idea”, this scene was a tumultuous scene, and there was no two managers in their minds at all.

So solemn.

Ling Wei came up with a lot of “mini games”, punches and other things are trivial, and even drumming and passing things came out. There was a handkerchief on the female dependents. A bunch of masters were forced to come out to perform, and even the two stewards had to be on the stage once.

Guanshi Su played the piano well, Guanshi Ning was able to make a set of punches… ahem, really worthy of being a steward in the general’s mansion.

In the end, a group of people drank their heads, only Ling Wei estimated that they brought modern people accustomed to the physique of high alcohol, and went back to the room sober to sleep. The others all went back drunk. The next morning, the number of people suffering from headaches was too numerous, and the demand for sober soup was in short supply.

Li Ying spent the night watching in the palace and only returned early the next morning. When I came back, I found that the subordinates of the two provinces were already in a “paralyzed” state, and couldn’t help laughing or crying.

Fortunately, the female relatives don’t fight wine, but there are still people who wait on them.

Early the next morning, Ling Wei drove to his elder brother’s house and teacher’s house to pay a New Year greeting. In the next few days, the palace was also on holiday, and His Majesty called Ling Wei into the palace to accompany the child.

After a long time, Ling Wei once again saw the power of the little princes jumping up and down.

Alas, when these little princes and princesses are with outsiders, one by one is as good as an old man. As a result, only himself was left, and he became a group of skin monkeys. Especially Jinque, it is really in line with His Majesty the Emperor and His Royal Highness, it is not called a bear kid, but a little devil.

Fortunately, the little princess Ankang is as well-behaved as ever, she is a sweet little padded jacket. Ling Wei was moved and hugged the smiling little princess. Now, only the little princess can comfort his battered heart that was hurt by the bear children.

“Don’t be skinny, when the ministers come back to give you classes after taking the imperial examination, please wait to copy the books.” Ling Wei held the well-behaved little princess in his arms, with a terrifying black air behind him.

The little princes immediately sat upright, and even the crown prince and Jin Que, who led the troublemaker, sat upright with serious faces.

“Jintang, don’t scare Gu.” The prince said dissatisfied. “It’s all what you said is unreasonable. You have copied the book a hundred times. Now the father is also letting the book copy!”

“Very good, your Majesty’s cursive script is highly praised. His Royal Highness is hard to learn.” Ling Wei smiled, “If your Royal Highness doesn’t like cursive script, regular script? Running script? Official script? There is always one suitable for your Royal Highness.”

The prince could not help tears. Ling Wei, you have gone bad! You wouldn’t bully people so much before!

Ling Wei smiled. The thought of getting along with these bear kids day and night in the future, we must build up the prestige of the teacher, otherwise, like the brothers and Liu Qi, every day, the life will be too difficult.

“Good calligraphy, Ankang likes regular script.” The little princess Ankang, who has already started to write and writes well, pointed at her finger, “Ankang wants to copy his cousin’s characters, his cousin’s characters are beautiful.”

“The princess should first copy other characters in regular script. The characters of the ministers are still lacking. After the characters of the ministers are written, let the princess copy them.” Ling Wei won’t let His Majesty the Emperor scold him to mislead his children. But he knew that His Majesty the Emperor signaled himself openly and secretly every day to let his beloved children learn his handwriting.

But His Majesty didn’t want to think about it. His cursive script, the little majesty didn’t even recognize it, let alone copy it.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

The New Year passed very quickly, and Ling Wei had gained a lot. He brought back a lot of rewards from the palace, not to mention the rewards of the little majesty. Among them, the couplet written by His Royal Highness, he was going to paste it at the gate of Qin | Wang’s Mansion.

“…Why did Jintang stick the couplet at my door?” Li puzzled.

Ling Wei touched his chin: “Because the characters are too ugly.”

Li Ying: “…”

Li Ying: “Qichen will trouble you. Not to mention the reward of the prince, it is not good to give it away.”

Ling Wei suddenly realized: “Ah, I have forgotten, your door is not my door.”

People from these two houses often mingled together, and Ling Wei had forgotten Qin | The palace was not his own!

So he posted the couplet of His Royal Highness the Prince on the door of his bedroom. Anyway, the words are too ugly, I don’t want people to see them.

Li Yin made a big red face by Ling Wei’s words, and whispered: “In fact, if you stick to the door of the palace, Qi Chen will be happy. If you are seen by outsiders, you will think that Jintang is disrespectful to His Royal Highness.”

Ling Wei nodded. He just simply forgot about Qin|The palace is not his own. He still understands such things.

If Ling Wei forgets this, he really doesn’t blame him.

It seems that since the Chinese New Year, the two subordinates have also frequented the door. Ling Wei often saw Guanshi Ning and Guansu drinking tea and chatting together, and the guards of the palace would also invite the guards of the palace to the school grounds to discuss. He and Li Ying are also eating and drinking together, and it is inevitable that their heads get confused.

The calligraphy of the other little princes, Ling Wei should be posted, should be preserved. When His Royal Highness finally could sneak out to play again, when he watched Ling Wei take a wall to save the calligraphy of his brothers and sisters, he couldn’t smile.

His Royal Highness thought that Ling Wei’s food was too good, so he was surprised to ask that the emperor, who was actually very fond of his son, took three days off and lived in Lingfu (of course, he said that he lived in Qin｜Wang Fu and Qin｜ Wang Discuss the Art of War).

Ling Wei felt that these three days were extremely difficult.

His Royal Highness still maintained the posture of a beautiful boy even though he could not get fat back now. But this beautiful boy is just a skinny, still a bear child inside.

In the morning, if Ling Wei wakes up later than His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness will surely sneak into Ling Wei’s bedroom and pinch Ling Wei’s nose. An angry Ling Wei will chase the Prince and run around the yard.

Then Ling Wei was very horrified to discover that the prince would actually climb a tree, and he climbed smoother than him.

“The father teaches. The father climbs faster than the lonely.” His Royal Highness said while gnawing on the braised chicken legs, “Of course, it is to teach the lonely with the mother’s queen on his back.”

Ling Wei: “…”

Why did His Majesty the Emperor teach you this? ! !

The prince said: “Father said that this is very useful in the wild. When he used to march in the wild, he would climb into a tree and have a nap, which is safer.”

Ling Wei: “…”

At this time, should he say that His Majesty is really versatile!

“Brother Emperor is indeed very powerful.” Li Yin interrupted, “Climbing trees and swimming, I was taught by Brother Emperor.”

Ling Wei: “…”

What else did His Majesty teach? Have you ever taught Stabbing Hornet’s Nest?

“I haven’t taught it, but I have stabbed it.” Li Ying said, “I used to be greedy with the emperor brother. The emperor went to learn how, cough, and got wild honey.”

Ling Wei: “…” These days… really bitter… Your Majesty, it’s still very mighty…
