Qianqing Palace in the Forbidden City, Emperor Chongzhen.
At this time, he was already immersed in the royal case to the west of the sun, but after reviewing countless memorials, all he saw was bad news, which made him feel very upset...
"My big companion, accompany me out for a walk—" Chongzhen sighed slightly, and said to Wang Chengen who was standing by the side.
"Yes—" Wang Chengen was Chongzhen's confidant eunuch. He served him when Chongzhen was still a believer, so it was very distressing to see Chongzhen at this moment.
However, as an emperor, there are restrictions. The so-called going out is just to relax in the palace.
However, when Chongzhen was passing by a veranda of the Wenhua Hall, he saw a few eunuchs looking at something attentively, and they were so fascinated that they didn't even notice his arrival.
Chongzhen felt a little curious, and Wang Chengen, who was leading the way, was already complacent when he saw it. After some reprimands in the past, he already had something in his hand when he returned.
When Chongzhen saw it, he curiously asked, "What are you holding, my big companion?"
Wang Chengen just bowed and said, "Your Majesty Qi, this is a new newspaper in the capital called Daming Bulletin. A few little monkeys read it fresh, but they have forgotten the rules."
Chongzhen became more curious when he heard it, so he asked Wang Chengen to submit the newspaper.
Chongzhen reviewed countless memorials every day, and his eyesight was exercised. After a few rough glances, he said, "It's just average."
But gradually, I was fascinated by it, because it was obvious. Although the literary style of this newspaper was mediocre, the narrative was flat and straightforward, which made Chongzhen, who was accustomed to seeing Jinxiu articles, feel a bit crude.
However, the content is very good. There are not only many current events, but also people's livelihood reports, and it also has a considerable depth and breadth, which makes Chongzhen interested.
You must know that he usually stands high and stays away from the grassroots. Many ministers report good news but not bad news, so it is often difficult to grasp comprehensive information, but now... this newspaper provides a good channel.
After Chongzhen finished reading it, he still didn't have enough thoughts, so he just asked: "This Daming bulletin is pretty good. Do you know who did it?"
"The old slave doesn't know it, but it's easy to know it. Just ask Commander Jinyiwei to check it." Wang Chengen said.
"Well, you can check it, but don't disturb them." Chongzhen said: "This newspaper is well run. Every time there is a new newspaper in the future, please send a copy to me."
"Yes—" Wang Chengen said in his heart, it seems that this newspaper has caught the emperor's eyes.
Three days later, as the harvested rice went into the warehouse after being turned into the sun, it means that the autumn harvest has ended successfully, and Yang Shanlu can also shift the focus of his work.
And that day he was reviewing the documents in the garrison hall, and suddenly he saw a shadow coming in.
At first he thought it was his Royal Highness the princess, he just looked up, but he was stunned... It was the wise girl Liu Hongli who came!
"Hey, why did you come to me? Aren't you afraid of being interrupted by your grandpa?" Yang Shanlu asked strangely.
"Don't be afraid!" Liu Hongli pouted at him: "You haven't been to the academy these days. I can only find you if I can't meet you."
is it? Yang Shanlu was even more puzzled, thinking that I have nothing to do with you, why are you looking for me
Unexpectedly, what Liu Hongli said next made him almost spit out a sip of tea, and saw the smart girl say: "I know you are making a lot of money this autumn harvest, so I want to sponsor some... to start a girls' school!"
"Run a girls' school?"
Yang Shanlu doesn't seem to know her, he keeps looking up and down, it's not difficult to get some sponsorship, but do you want to set up a girls' school? This one really dare to think about it!
You know that this is an era when men are superior to women. Such a thing has never happened in the history of Ming Dynasty. Even a radical like him dare not think about it, but now...
Be careful if you step too far, it's easy to pull the egg... Of course, you don't have an egg either.
Looking at Yang Shanlu's astonishment, Liu Hongli's big eyes were shining brightly and said: "Why can't it! Are our girls born worse than your men!"
Is it possible that you can study and go to school, and give pointers to the country, we can only teach each other at home! So I am not convinced! I must run this girls' school! "
Well, after hearing Liu Hongli say this, Yang Shanlu has already admired the five-body cast... Since the Shanyin princess 400 years ago, now there is another feminist pioneer!
It’s just that Yang Shanlu thinks about it carefully and thinks it’s okay. Even if her girls’ school can be opened, it can attract some firepower...
But opening a girls' school is not a trifle after all, Yang Shanlu said: "Okay, as long as you can bring ten girls, not the kind of crooked melons, I will agree with you to open a girls' school!
Specifically, as long as you have 10 girls, I will give you 100 taels of silver, and so on. In addition, I will build you another yard in the college as a teaching place for girls’ schools. What do you think? "
"A word is a deal." Hearing Yang Shanlu agreed, Liu Hongli couldn't help himself...
It was true that Xindao came to him, and gave him money and place! And the most important thing is that this wise girl has already seen that Yang Shanlu is a good deal in Zhenluwei, so as long as he agrees, the next thing will be easy.
"By the way, does your grandpa agree?" This is also very important.
"Don't worry, although he is old and stubborn, I can handle him!" The wise girl said confidently.
And after this was agreed, a satisfactory answer was obtained. The wise girl left with joy and began her big plans for a girls' school.
It was Yang Shanlu, and I was a little bit emotional when I saw it... It is also the establishment of the Tianxia Academy, and it is also the establishment of a girls' school. My own town guard is really the first to open up the world...
It's just that he just finished with emotion. When he was about to go to work, he unexpectedly heard the curtain rang behind him. His mother Sun had already walked out of the backyard and said with joy: "Lu'er, did that girl come to you just now? She looks pretty good. what… "
Yang Shanlu felt helpless when he heard it, and thought that his mother, she really committed the common problem of mothers in this era... When she saw a girl's family come to her, she thought about it.
Yang Shanlu just said: "Mother, that's just an ordinary friend. It's just a matter of looking for me."
"Really, I look pretty good, I will ask her to come often..."
Sun’s reverie started, but Yang Shanlu was dumbfounded, so he thought it’s better not to come too often. If you know that she is a pioneer of feminism, calling for equality between men and women, and overthrowing all the mountains that are pressing on her, you still Dare to call her
Of course, Yang Shanlu felt the same for his mother's warmth.
Seeing his mother sitting in a chair at this time, he walked over and beat her shoulders, squeezed her shoulders... and enjoyed the family happiness.
As for the Sun family, his brows and eyes are also full of gratification... My own son, even if he has become such a big official, is still the most filial maid...
At this moment, Liu Dabangmao, who was guarding the door, suddenly walked in and reported: "Brother Yang, there is news from Jingcheng."
He said that he was handing over a homing pigeon. There was a small bamboo tube hanging from the ankle of the homing pigeon. It looked like the information inside had not been disassembled.
Yang Shanlu nodded, and when he took out a piece of paper from the small bamboo tube, after reading it again, his face became a little exciting.
But at this moment, the mother Sun's has already asked impatiently: "Lu'er, is it a letter from your father?"
Yang Shanlu nodded, it's just the content of this letter... It's very much in line with my mother's wish! Because it says that I want to introduce him to a famous lady, that is, to discuss marriage and marry!
It’s just from Yang Shanlu’s understanding that in this era, there is nothing voluntary or involuntary, but the order of the parents and the matchmaker, so as long as the elders see it right, it can basically be done.
But is this situation suitable for him
On the contrary, the Sun family has already asked eagerly: "What does your father write in the letter?"
Yang Shanlu just looked at his mother and smiled, and didn't lie to her: "Mother, the letter said that he wants to introduce a good family to the child, or a famous lady! So he asked me to come."
"Ah! This is a great thing!" Sun's face was full of joy when he heard it, saying that she is very satisfied with her current life... Her Lu'er official is so big, and she has made so much money now. Only a young lady is missing! And now...
It's just that when Yang Shanlu saw this letter, he couldn't help but think of Her Royal Highness... This is the real free love, the two love each other!
It's just that he also understands that it is difficult to become a royal family with the birth of a princess! That is the wife!
According to the etiquette of this era, at most, you can be a flat wife in the future. This is the general trend. At present, you can't resist, so you can only go to the capital.
However, if it is really possible to get married, such a major event in life, he doesn't want that mother, that is, his nominal mother Zhou, to make the decision for him! But the mother Sun must be present!
Not to mention his cheap father, but he promised to welcome his mother, Sun, into the house with gongs and drums! And admit that she is a flat wife!
Yang Shanlu just looked at the Sun family and smiled: "Mother, this time you will go to the capital with me!
They swept us out four years ago! And this time, at least I want them to open their doors! Welcome in person!
Even come to Zhenluwei personally to pick you up! "
"Ah... I dare not think about it!" Sun waved his hand again and again after hearing this. In her thoughts, that one (Yang Sichang) was a heavenly man! It's the Wenquxing from the sky! She was born as a maid and she is absolutely unworthy!
So as long as she agrees to let her return, she will be satisfied, as for the other things she dare not think about!
Seeing his mother's uneasy look, Yang Shanlu secretly said in his heart, Mother, don't worry! Things in the future will be better than you think!
After thinking this way, Yang Shanlu immediately wrote a reply.
In the letter, he clearly stated that it is okay to come to the capital, but the mother's affairs must be resolved at the same time! It is also necessary for Yang Sichang to personally come to the town captives to greet him!
With the homing pigeons, the message was delivered quickly, and two days later, the reply from the Yang Mansion arrived.
The above meaning is also very euphemistic. Yang Sichang said that he is very willing to come, but he is really busy with official duties and cannot get away.
So I asked Yang Shanlu to bring the Sun family over, as long as he arrives at the Yang Mansion, he will definitely receive it in the most solemn way!
In this case, Yang Shanlu felt that it was okay. After all, letting Shangshu, the Ministry of War, who controls the military affairs of the world, leave the post for six or seven days, that is not a problem.
After her mother Sun learned this reply, she promised even more pleasantly... For her, as long as she could return to the Yang Mansion, she would have fulfilled her wish! As for the flat wife, do you really dare to think about it...
In this case, Yang Shanlu arranged for Zhenluwei. Three days later, Yang Shanlu led forty guards, including the carriage carrying his mother Sun, and Haohao **** went to the capital.
And on this road, it was relatively peaceful, at most a dozen of small bandits, and after seeing the momentum of the group of people like Yang Shanlu, it was already as far away as possible...
And when I arrived in the capital, after I entered the city, the road was also unimpeded. Looking at this momentum, Yang Shanlu's official third-grade official uniform was just waiting for idlers to avoid...
At this time, Yang Shanlu had already sent someone to inform him. After arriving at the Yang Mansion all the way, Yang Shanlu found that it had already been decorated... I saw the vermilion door opened and the door was decorated with lights and festoons! Even the red lanterns for the New Year are hanging out!
This, this... Looking at this familiar mansion, Sun's eyes are a little red...
And when Yang Shanlu helped her and got out of the carriage, Yang Mansion, who had been prepared, instantly blasted firecrackers!
Including the separation of the second row of servants, the master of the Yang Mansion, Yang Sichang and his wife Zhou, are all dressed up to welcome each other!
Seeing this scene, Sun’s eye circles were even more red... When he was kicked out, he once thought of this day...
Of course, the Sun clan at this time is also very expensive! Her return this time is no longer as a maid, returning again, but as a madam bestowed on the fifth stage, honoring her return!
I saw Sun's head wearing a color crown of the maiden of life, and it was covered with dazzling beads, flower hairpin! On his shoulders is the Xia Lin woven in Shu brocade! Shu brocade is the most beautiful, so this kind of Xia Lai is even more beautiful and magnificent!
Behind the Sun clan, the girl Xiao Yu'er, who is not squinting, holding a letter of imperial enlightenment in her hand, is really rich and powerful, coming!
This, this... Looking at this scene, Yang Sichang, the head of the Yang Mansion, and his wife Zhou, both have complex expressions...
But at this time, as Sun slowly walked over, the servants on both sides of the separate steps had all knelt down and shouted: "Congratulations on Madam's return!"
And seeing this scene, the Sun family almost shed tears... Once upon a time, she and these servants were not much different from each other, and some of them even spoke coldly and looked down on her! But now, everyone kneels down in front of him!
At this time, Yang Sichang had already put away his emotions, greeted him with a stride, and said: "Good wife has worked hard, welcome to return!"
After hearing these words, Sun's body couldn't help but tremble... At this moment of public attention, actually call her a good wife
You know that just before, even if two people were married, she still gave birth to Yang Shanlu, who ranked third, but Yang Sichang had never called her a good wife! I don’t even see each other very often! But now
After Yang Sichang, the eldest wife Zhou also came over. To say that today's Zhou is also well-dressed, she is jeweled and looks extraordinary.
But when compared with the outfits of Mrs. Sun's Hao Ming, it was far inferior.
Therefore, looking at the graceful and luxurious Sun Clan, Zhou Clan's teeth were crushed with hatred, but on the surface, he had to be gentle and gentle and endure grievances.
When she walked in front of the Sun family, Yingying bowed down and said, "I have seen Madam."
And this is the status of the imperial court. According to folk etiquette, she is the wife Yang Sichang is currently marrying, and she is a well-deserved wife! As for the Sun family, not even a concubine! I can't usually eat at the same table!
But now, because of the identity of Madam Hao Ming, her status is already higher than Zhou's! So after seeing each other now, Zhou must bow down and salute!
This, this... When Sun saw this scene, his heart was ups and downs with excitement, and the corners of his eyes were moist!
Once upon a time, she had been humiliated all the time, and even once at the welcoming banquet, she just accidentally exposed herself, and was almost beaten to death by this vicious woman! After that, she was driven out of the Yang Mansion directly by this woman! But now...
But I have to say that Sun is a very kind woman, and she didn't remember how to hate Zhou in her heart, but in accordance with the etiquette that had been wicked, she personally supported Zhou.
After the two were aligned, the Sun clan saluted the Zhou clan: "My sister has seen my sister."
This is a folk ritual, that is, it is made according to folk conventions, and the Zhou clan is still an eldest woman.
But even so, everyone around knows that Sun's position in Yang's mansion is no longer inferior to Zhou's, and even the first person in the harem!
And seeing this scene, some people gritted their teeth with anger! Yang Shansong, who was hiding in a small house in the middle of Yang's mansion, pinched his fingernails deeply into the flesh when he saw it!
How can this be true... the mother of a famous family actually wants to bow down to a lowly maid? Do you want to call her Madame
But what else can I do? After learning that Yang Shanlu and Sun Clan were about to arrive, his father Yang Sichang had already ordered him strictly, and guarded himself! Never allow anything out of the ordinary, otherwise you will be expelled from the house!
Therefore, the eldest son of Yang Fu's grandson, who is very literary and knowledgeable, can only hide in the corner at this moment, watching this scene with blood dripping in his heart.
And when he saw this scene, Yang Shanlu, who was walking beside the Sun family, saw him, but he was so excited that he almost shed tears... Finally came back!
I still remember that 4 years ago, my mother and son were ruthlessly driven out of Yang Mansion! How miserable they were at that time! How helpless!
Even when she arrived at Zhenluwei far away from the capital, her mother was always depressed and frowning. His original physical body also committed suicide because he couldn't see hope!
But now, he has done all the promises he made to his mother and to this body! At this moment... finally ushered in the return of glory!
