Chapter 29:
"Concubine Yuan is going to form an enmity with our Marquis Wuwen's family? How come there is no news coming from the palace, but Princess Zhennan is coming and going in the palace, the news is also definitely not false, maybe the decree will come down later, this is a heavenly matter."
Hearing Zhennan Princess Luo Yun seemingly idle actually no less than a bolt from the blue, the entire main hall of the mansion were shocked, the first to come back to God was still Mrs. Zhao, a grand woman with a graceful demeanor.
At this time, she no longer had the heart to think about how to enforce the family law on Hong Yi, but rather considered the importance of this speech.
The Qian dynasty's noble consort, royal consort harem beauties can not go out of the palace, but the court to filial piety rule, specially decreed that every year on New Year's Day, living in the seclusion of the noble consort, royal consort can go home to visit their parents, in order to show that the grace of heaven.
But the harem also have foreign married to the princess, go home to save the relatives that is certainly can not do, can only live in seclusion, so the harem in the rules, by the Empress Dowager or the Empress under the decree, designate a civil and military ministers that the family of the family of grace, and then New Year's Eve festivals and those consorts are considered to be the same as those of the mother's family can be returned.
The reason for doing so is also to balance the power of the harem, foreign princesses married over, miserable, without the support of the mother's family, it is easy to appear to be persecuted things, such things are very easy for other countries to find an excuse to lead to things.
Back then, Yunmeng country attacked Daqian that year is because a princess was married over to the cold palace after taking poison to commit suicide, with this as an excuse to go to war to fight in.
After the recognition of the grace of kinship, the civil and military ministers of the family is also considered to climb the royal relatives, is also considered a special reward. The so-called is all happy.
However, this is not a national government, but internal affairs, so the decree issued is not a holy decree, but the imperial decree of the harem.
Yuan Fei was originally a princess of the north Yuan Tu country, married to the palace did not have much time, but deeply favored, a year ago was crowned as Royal Concubine, the status of the Empress below, in the palace is also a figure of speech.
This and the Marquis of Wu Wen married, but also can improve the status of the Marquis.
"Sister, this is a good thing to prepare for. Consort Yuan recognizes us as a benefactor, that's a great thing, we'll become a royal relative, in case Consort Yuan has a son or two, although the throne has no share, but at least it's a prince, climbing up, the blessings are endless."
After the shock, there was a lot of talk, the sharp-tongued Mrs. Rong immediately came up to speak.
Mrs. Fang just silent.
The maids on all sides, the old maids are also discussing in detail.
"This matter is not trivial, before the decree comes down, no one should discuss, each do their own thing, wait for the marquis to handle the imperial government back, the marquis and I personally discuss."
Lady Zhao sat down again with a calm expression on her face, no one knew what she was thinking.
"Then Hong Yi's matter?" Mrs. Rong was still a little undeterred.
"Let the Marquis come back to decide, you have the maid go to our own pharmacy to receive some injury medicine and tonic for Hong Gui and Rong Pan to recuperate and nourish themselves." Lady Zhao beckoned, and a maid, knowing her habits, hurriedly sent the snow-white kitten she was holding into her hands for her to pet mo.
Touching the little white cat in her hand, Lady Zhao's complexion was so calm that it was a bit scary.
"You all have been busy for such a long while, you can also rest and rest now. Later on, stay the princess for dinner and then come out together, resting or having the spirit to compensate."
Mrs. Zhao raised her hand, Mrs. Fang, Mrs. Rong saw her face, all knowingly took the maids and old maids and retreated out.
In the strict rules of the marquis house, Mrs. Zhao has absolute authority.
As soon as everyone withdrew, the inside of the Marquis' hall was suddenly quiet, and only the sound of a cat yawning remained in the large hall.
"Frost, Tong'er, you put the east courtyard of the "osmanthus room" cleaned out, later let Hong Yi move in, in addition to choose another four clever point of the maid to wait on him, and then go to the account office to spend three hundred taels of silver to give him to buy things, say I give him to prepare for the examination. " Mrs. Zhao instructed the two head maids around her.
"Madam ......"
Hearing this command, the two maid heads' eyes were rounded, very puzzled.
"Go and do it, I have my own ideas."
Waiting for the two maid heads to leave, Mrs. Zhao beckoned again, behind her, an old mother came forward, this old mother had a head of silver hair, high nose, deep eye sockets, and looked very old, but if you look carefully, you will find that she had slender fingers, and surprisingly did not have a bit of wrinkles, such as a young girl in her twenties and eights.
"Has Xi'er been busy lately? You make a trip to the Divine Opportunity Camp and tell him to make time to come back. Also, write a letter to Kang'er."
"Miss, why do you need to do this? If you want you to nod your head, I'll make sure that Hong Yi's soul will return to the hell after a big illness, unexplained. I have long seen out, this son to be a bit of a tosser, before not to put him in the heart, now actually tossed big, later let him become a climate, still?" Old mom said grimly.
"Marquis is a man of rules, nothing can be hidden from him, so many years, I have never done an out of the ordinary thing in front of him, because I understand his temper. You go, I have my own ideas." Mrs. Zhao waved her hand.
.............................. .............................. .............................. ........
"Ah, Hong Yi, this Luang Huan Study House in your house is really big, even bigger than Prince Rong's house, the collection of books has at least 60,000 to 70,000 books, right, but unfortunately, I can only visit it today, I still have to go inside the palace at night." Luo Yun looked at the many mahogany shelves, emitting a big book house full of books.
Marquis Wu Wen's bookstore is called "Luang Huan bookstore", there are 500 paces square, all four sides are two people high bookshelves, bookshelves are full of books, in the center is a big sandalwood table, jade paperweight, purple gold brush holder, one foot square large landscape purple ink stone ink stone, all of these furnishings appear to be the scene of the rich and powerful people should be.
The front wall of the book house hanging a large bow, bright body, at a glance is made of steel, even more impressive is that the steel bow bright bow body has a lot of ice cracks, apparently and gold equivalent ice cracks steel.
Steel used to do the bow body, the stability of the bow body can not idea, more importantly, no wooden bow after drying cracking, insect moths and other problems, just too heavy, the army generals can not be used to fight, only used to assess. Not to mention this ice cracked steel.
The strings of the bow are finger thick, black and dark, can't tell what material it is.
However, Hong Yi has heard of it, it is a giant python tendon soaked in glue hot for ten years before tanned, extremely strong elasticity, and long-lasting. It was one of the ten most famous bows of the Zhou Dynasty, the bow was called the Falling Star, and the bow was opened a thousand paces away to kill the enemy as if it was idle.
Hong Yi looked at the "Falling Star Bow" hanging on the wall, and knew that he would not be able to pull this bow open.
"It is recorded in the notes that a hundred years ago, when the Great Zhou Dynasty was in its heyday, there were ten famous bows, the first was the Sun Shooting Bow, the second was the Moon Holding Bow, and the third was the Falling Star Bow, so I wonder how strong the first two bows were?"
Hong Yi finally saw the "Falling Star Bow" that his father used when he was young.
His eyes then landed on the desk.
On the desk were the books that Hong Xuanji often read, stacked a foot high.
Hong Yi saw it at a glance, the first book was "Spirit Turtle Breathing Method".
It was a Taoist spitting kung fu used to practice the internal organs.
Buddhist martial arts, emphasizing on the muscles and bones, cultivating the muscles and bones, skin and flesh is the best in the world, but the Taoist kung fu emphasizes on vomiting, cultivating the five viscera and six bowels is better than the Buddhists.
