Chapter 1061 Listen to the elders in the corner
Lu Hong was late. Even if the prosperous Lu family thatched cottage in the Songshan Xuanlian Peak was not as empty as it was, the scene at its peak was no longer there. Song Shen was not a famous scholar. He took over the cottage and kept his mind to continue his studies and research were mostly students who were poor and determined, but did not care about their reputation. Most of the rest had already dispersed. Therefore, when he came to Chang'an in person to send his daughter to his daughter, he mentioned with guilt that there were less than fifty people left in the cottage, Du Shiyi was not surprised.
"In the past, Mr. Lu had many disciples, some were for his knowledge, but more were for his fame. Even if he failed in the imperial examination, he called himself a disciple of the Lu family's Caotang. He returned to his hometown to pay respect to a county and everyone rushed to hire him as a teacher. That was extremely relaxing. Now the grand occasion is no longer there, and the second senior brother can calm down and manage the Caotang well." Speaking of this, Du Shiyi was apologetic. "Although I, a father, can stay and preside over this marriage, I can't wait too long. All preparations are in a hurry, and I'm afraid I will be wronged."
"The smaller the show, the better, I don't care about this." Song Shen went to Beijing according to the wedding date he had set before, but he didn't expect Du Shiyi was still there, and he didn't expect that he had resigned from the Second Hedong Jiedu of Shuofang. He did not enter the officialdom, but he also saw the storms in Chang'an City that uprooted many nobles and nobles in the years. Although he was not dissatisfied with Du Youlin, his future son-in-law, he was still worried. However, in front of Du Shiyi, he still didn't say what he said.
Because Du Shiyi could not delay too long in Chang'an, the originally scheduled good days moved forward for more than twenty days. Fortunately, all the preparations started last year. Now Du's house was in a hurry for a while, and finally he had to catch up. When the wedding invitation was successfully sent out, Du Shiyi said to his family half jokingly and half seriously: "I heard that Li Shizhi stopped his appearance and his son held a banquet at home to entertain guests. As a result, no guests who posted the post came, and all were frightened by Li Linfu's fierce power. But I don't know how my Du family married a wife this time."
Unlike the fall of Wei Jian and Huangfu Weiming, Li Shizhi was frightened and hurriedly resigned. Although Du Shiyi now resigned from the Second Jiedushi of Shuofang in Hedong, the emperor approved his request and allowed his wife Wang Rong to follow him to the Anbeiya tent. The change in the past and afterwards was enough for those who were interested to feel embarrassed. After all, the rules of the officialdom were not to deceive people too much. Therefore, among the guests who received the post, the majority of those who promised to go to support him at that time. The Princess Gu'an borrowed the princess's mansion that she had been empty for many years to serve as a house for Song Jinxi to get married. Princess Yuzhen personally gave a box of Taoist books as a box, which was even more eye-catching.
Therefore, this obviously hasty marriage was a family of He Kexiang, which was very lively. Whether it was Li Linfu's cousin and Jiang Jiao, who was also Du Shiyi's in-laws, Pei Kuan, who was the censor, Wei Zhi, the minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Wang Jin, the attendant of Zuo Sanqi, and many colleagues or subordinates who had worked with Du Shiyi, most of them came to support him personally. Faced with such a lively scene, compared with the desolation of Li Shi's resignation in the past, even if some people had sighed that the Du family was on the decline, they couldn't help but feel a little confused.
Especially when Gao Lishi ordered people to bring a gift to give it to him, people all thought that Du Shiyi and the eunuch in the palace had a good relationship, at least far better than Wei Jian's friendship with gold, silver and wealth. So, while drinking and chatting, everyone tacitly did not mention the two towns that Du Shiyi had just lost, but just congratulated Du's family on their joy of marrying their wives today.
When He Ke was perfunctory, when Du Shiyi found an excuse to leave the table and come to the back bedroom, she saw that Song Shen, who was the woman's parent, had been drunk by Lu Wangzhi and Pei Ning.
"Brother, third brother, I have something to say to the second brother, you are so cruel."
"He is not suitable for being an official or fighting with people. He is studying in a peaceful environment like a tang, studying calligraphy, painting, poetry and essays, is his future path. I know what you want to tell him, so you don't have to worry about these things. I won't give you a chance to do anything to him. That is the most important place left by his mentor." When Lu Wangzhi said this, he seemed to be saying something extremely common, and then he took the wine pot and drank it into his mouth. "The real danger is you. Although you barely broke your tail and got out of here this time, and today's marriage was held in a grand manner, I can't tell what will happen next time."
"Li Linfu's current decline is revealed, and once His Majesty's trust is shaken, it may be his end. But once he reaches that day, you will be in danger." Pei Ning took over Lu Wangzhi's words and asked directly, "Jun Li, what are your plans?"
"Once Li Linfu is caught, Yang Zhao may not be able to take care of me. An Lushan's Jiedu governor Hedong is blocked this time, and he will definitely hate Yang Zhao to the core."
Hearing Du Shiyi's words, Lu Wangzhi and Pei Ning looked at each other, and Pei Ning said curiously: "Since you are planning to use An Lushan to restrain Yang Zhao, why did you do so many poems to the bookstore in one breath before throwing them into the frontier? Are you planning to throw them out after Wang Zhongsi regained the stone castle city? Are you not afraid of harming him instead?"
"If Wang Zhongsi seized the Shibao City, and some people say that these things were fabricated by his commander who won the battle, and he would believe his Majesty with his eyes open and he would believe it. Then it means that when the son is no longer cured today, no matter what we do next, we don't have to have any psychological burden. If Your Majesty can pity the people who have hardly rested in these years because of the suffering of the husband, then at least this prosperous age may be able to continue smoothly for ten or twenty years, or even longer, which is a great merit. I will just try to protect myself. Of course, if Your Majesty wants to investigate because of some words, then I will throw out some things that can be investigated and let them slap them to death."
"But after you disturbed this, my pen name, the man from Beimang, has been targeted by someone after the case of King Yang Shenjin. If this group of poems are added to the frontier, it will probably be completely destroyed by then." Lu Wangzhi spread his hands with some regret, "You know, most of those legendary scripts have only been serialized for half, and they have not earned enough money."
"Why should you belittle yourself? When the limelight comes, your pen name will probably surpass those most talented literati and poets since the founding of the Tang Dynasty." Du Shiyi made a serious joke and then said with a subtle expression, "Okay, today is the day for my family to marry a daughter-in-law. Not to mention these great things, while the second senior brother is still drunk, let's go to the new house together to see how it is?"
Pei Ning almost squirted out a sip of wine, but Lu Wangzhi suddenly stood up and grabbed Du Shiyi with great enthusiasm and said, "Okay, let's go now."
Although Du Youlin only met Song Jinxi when he went to Songshan's awning cottage to pay homage to Lu Hong, he met Song Jinxi several times, and he always glanced at him, and he never even spoke more than five words, but he had already taken a fancy to someone in his heart. He was far better than the marriage of his brother and sister-in-law who had just met him and got married once. Therefore, when he finally dealt with the four guests and returned to the new house, he was not as rough as his brother back then, and he brought in hot tea and exquisite snacks.
For such a marriage, Song Jinxi was also sent to the ground. She didn't even sleep well for a few days when she was preparing to marry in Princess Gu'an's house. Now that the makeup was gone, her eyes were faintly blue and black, and she was hungry. So, when her husband brought all her food to her, she felt a little embarrassed at first, but at his whisper, she quickly filled her stomach. She finally suppressed the feeling of empty belly. She was about to speak, but she heard a familiar voice coming from outside.
"What are you here?"
"Grandma?"
It's his brother and sister outside, it turns out that they are also listening to the corner of the wall.
Hearing the movement outside, Du Youlin inexplicably remembered that when his brother and sister got married, he had done similar things, and he couldn't help feeling a little subtle. However, when his father drove away Du Guangyuan and Du Xianhui majesticly, he did not relax. After pondering for a while, he suddenly put his index finger on his mouth and shook his wife who wanted to talk. Then, he tiptoed to the door, suddenly opened the door quickly and opened the door. Sure enough, he saw his father and Lu Wangzhi standing side by side, and behind them was Pei Ning with awkward face.
"Grandma..." Du Youlin didn't know what to say. After seeing his father stunned, he looked as usual, and Lu Wangzhi was the same. He was a junior and couldn't ask questions, so he could only say with a pun, "Why are the grandpa and the two masters here?"
"Aren't you worried that you will be drunk by the guests outside and let the bride suffer aggrieved?" Lu Wangzhi said with a righteous reason. Seeing Du Youlin smiled slightly, he obviously didn't believe it. He smiled and said, "Anyway, those who want to listen to the corner of your new house have been driven away by your grandfather and us. Go back quickly."
"Yes, thank you, Grandpa and the two uncles. It's getting late, so please go back and rest early." Du Youlin was not so easy to deceive, so he bowed deeply in place. Seeing Pei Ning pulling Du Shiyi and Lu Wangzhi away with one hand, he felt relieved, but stood for a while and made sure that everyone had left, then he quickly closed the door.
When he turned around and found that the two doors were closed, Lu Wangzhi was eager to go back, and Pei Ning finally couldn't help but glared at him: "Is it good to look like an elder?"
Du Shiyi also turned around and looked at the bridal chamber where the red candle was lit in the dark, and remembered the scene in his mind that he and Wang Rong finally got married. This time, the three little guys made a fuss and finally passed by without any danger, and he finally didn't have to separate his wife and worry about each other. But the children's lives next have to be lived by themselves.
Thinking of this, he turned sideways and bowed to Lu Wangzhi and Pei Ning who were like his elder brothers in front of him and said, "In the future, Youniang and I will not be in Chang'an. Huiniang and Apeng, Youlin and Jinxi will be entrusted to the two senior brothers. Let them participate in some things as much as possible, and the flowers in the greenhouse will not grow."
