Cui Xie remembered that after Hongzhi ascended the throne, the court used mostly honest and honest ministers, although he did not know how Liu Shoufu, the famous "Paper-Paper Old Man", got into the present day, but no matter how he thought about it, the days when he was Shoufu It won't be long. So the manual animation machine has to be done in a hurry, at least when Lao Shoufu retires, it has to be brought home by others.
He happened to be moving to a new home, and he had already found the carpenter who made the Western-view box to make furniture for him. Since we are going to make a projector for Liu Shoufu, we can stop punching the new furniture over there, take down the old ones here, and ask a carpenter to punch the box.
Cui Xie sat in front of the box inlaid with the crystal sheet, put his eyes on the crystal sheet, pulled the long rope on the side of the box, and watched the picture inside rotate, gradually accelerating, pulling it into a series of blurred color blocks, and at a certain rhythm Condensed into a clear picture. The characters on the painting change with simple movements, and they can only complete one or two moves in a circle. If you want to make the animation last longer, you have to enlarge the wheel and shrink the picture above.
But both have limits.
If the picture is too small, Liu Shoufu's presbyopia may not be able to see it clearly; if the runner is too large, the rotation will not be smooth enough, and if it rotates too slowly, the picture will be stuck one by one, not coherent enough... He took out a pen and paper Write down your own requirements and the conflicts that come to mind, fold them into letterheads and slap them on the desk, and ask the cook to bring it to the carpenter when he goes to deliver meals to the craftsmen in the new house tomorrow.
If it was left in the past when he was still white, this technique must have been studied by himself without sleep or food, but now he has just written down two strokes and handed it over to the experts.
Alas, with a higher status, people are also arrogant and extravagant, and they are not the simple working people who used to do everything by themselves...
Cui Xie felt what it was like to be an official who was separated from the people, got up and opened the box of Western Scenery, took out the few pictures inside, and put them together with the rest of the exploded diagrams. When the carpenter decides the size of the frame, we have to ask the painters in Ju Anzhai to draw it down to the same scale.
They have to be asked to do it more delicately, after all, it is a gift for Shoufu Zhishi.
===============
The time when Cui Xie and Liu Gelao can still worry about aerobics is only one or two nights. Because the emperor gave Zhang Guozhang's earl the title, the favored favor was excessive, which violated the ancestral system. Although several patriarchs did not advise him, they had to find a reason for his favored favor—
What reason could be more appropriate than the Crown Prince
According to the rules of Taizu, if you want to establish a queen, you must first seal your father; if you want to establish a prince, you must first seal the prince's grandfather. The officials originally wanted to wait for Yuanzi for a few more months to ensure that he would not die prematurely and then invite the crown prince, but the emperor awarded the emperor for no reason. Anyway, the eldest son of the emperor is the direct descendant of the middle palace, and his status is noble.
The emperor and the queen are deeply in love, and they also love this eldest son deeply, and have long wanted to make him the heir.
The four bachelors in the cabinet first communicated with the emperor in the afternoon, and then went back to prepare the table: the outer court was led by Zhang Mao, the highest-ranking imperial teacher, and the ministers were presented, while the inner court was represented by the Queen Mother Zhou. Invite the Son of Heaven to establish the Crown Prince as early as possible.
However, the emperor could not agree immediately, and he had to resign as if he had been invited to the throne. The request book and the emperor's reply edict were both drafted by the Imperial Academy. Although Cui Xie was only a sixth-rank attendant, he was highly valued by the emperor and the patriarch. The responsibility of drafting the edict naturally fell on him.
Fortunately, this time, there is no need for three resignations and two resignations, as long as two resignations and one resignation can be performed. The Hanlin Academy only wrote from the end of the first month to the end of the second month, and revised the manuscript seven or eight times before deciding on the establishment of the reserve. It's just that you can't relax after the decision is made. The Ministry of Rites immediately entered the register of the prince's ceremonial note after the emperor issued an edict to set up the reserve.
The grand ceremony of setting up the crown prince is scheduled for the eighth day of the third lunar month.
The Son of Heaven personally went to Fengtian Temple to make sacrifices, and British father Zhang Mao brought four patriarchs to hold festivals and book treasures to Wenhua Temple for canonization. The crown prince, who could not speak, ordered Bao Guogong, Zhou Concubine, and Xin Ningbo to pay tribute to the ancestors of heaven and earth, and then received the treasure from Wenhua Hall, and went to Fengtian Hall to meet the emperor, and the ceremony was completed successfully.
However, there were still countless edicts and edicts waiting to be drawn up by the Hanlin Academy. Cui Xie followed Mr. Li to draw up congratulatory forms, wrote edicts of amnesty for the world, and responded to congratulatory notes from various palaces... Since several patriarchs negotiated the establishment of a prince, the Hanlin Academy began to work overtime. For two months in a row, there was no relaxing day. To celebrate the crown prince's right to the throne, it is suspended for a period of time.
Fortunately, the Jinyiwei Zaju has been released. Cui Qi took his usual storytelling and rushed out an issue for him according to the plot and background of the Zaju, otherwise the readers would have to lift Ju Anzhai.
It wasn't until seven or eight days later that Cui Xie woke up from his long-term busywork and realized a major event - this year is the year of the autumn examination, and Wang Shouren has passed the examination! He hurriedly wrote down his own examination experience carefully, and packaged it together with Ju Anzhai's latest "The Book of Rites by the Famous Teacher Wang Zhuangyuan of the Hanlin Academy", "The Ink of Beijing Gongyuan over the Past Years", and "One Hundred Questions Before the Examination by Famous Teachers". Send someone to rush to Nanjing.
This year, we have to take the township examination. If we do not take the age and subject examinations, we will be able to take the talent examination next year. His two younger brothers have studied with Jinshi for many years. Although they are in the countryside, Mr. Lin, a famous exam-taking teacher, tells them about sprinting before the exam. They can see the latest teaching assistants in Ju Anzhai at any time, and they should end up practicing.
- Brother He is young and can still be dragged on for a year. Brother Heng is already twenty-three years old, and he has no fame anymore.
When Cui Xie wrote letters to his younger brothers, he was naturally not as polite as he was to future saints, but put on the air of an older brother and urged them to study and take the exam. In particular, he gave Cui Heng a strict order to start the mock exam in the second half of the year, and he must come back with a Tongsheng exam this year.
If he can't even pass the exam, he won't even think about going back to Beijing in this life. He will simply marry a neighbor's old daughter and live a peaceful life in Qian'an. Conversely, if he can take the exam and come back as a scholar, his brother is now With the mansion bestowed by the royal family, the old mansion will be rebuilt, and the two of them will be married.
After disciplining his two younger brothers in the letter, he wrote another letter to his grandmother asking for peace. The two letters were not suitable for Ju Anzhai to bring, so he planned to ask Cui Jinzhi to arrange for someone to bring them back.
But before his letter was sent, the letter from Qian'an came first. But it was Cui Liangdong who personally sent the letter back, and as soon as he entered the door, he was sweating profusely to greet him, and he asked mixedly, "A few days ago, the government issued a notice saying that the eldest son of the emperor was made the prince, and the world will be pardoned. Do you want to arrange for someone to chase the master back?"
forget!
The decree of amnesty was still his first draft, and he forgot that Cui Ju was also in the amnesty regulations, so he would not have to go to the border to deliver rice in the future!
Every year, the sinners who transport nanometers, charcoal, bricks, and workmanship are escorted there at the beginning of the year. Cui Ju should have been escorted by the officers in the 20th of the first month. When the edict was issued on the 8th day of March, he may have reached the boundary of Shaanxi. , but not necessarily into Yulin. If they didn't get the news of the amnesty on the way, they should have delivered the rice to the camp by this time; and if they got the news, they would go back from the vicinity of Yan'an House, and now they have left the Shaanxi Dusi...
He asked Cui Liangdong, "How many people accompanied the master to transport rice this year, how much money and how many carts of rice grains did they bring?"
Cui Liangdong said with a wry smile: "I was robbed by bandits last time, how dare I bring rice this time! The master brought 200 taels of silver that he sent home for the New Year, and drove three large trucks with a dozen strong men. Family members and day laborers, for fear of being robbed again."
Although Mr. Cui is no longer an official, he still has the temperament of caring only about himself and no matter how other people live. Fortunately, he sent a lot of money during the Chinese New Year, and Zhuangzi still had income from burning quinoa ashes and making soda ash, otherwise he would have been really poor.
He secretly spurned in his heart, his expression remained unmoved, and he just nodded: "Father has taken away a lot of people, and there is a grandfather at the border, so there will be no more trouble. Isn't it the time for spring plowing? I am afraid that the farm work on the village will be delayed, and no one will serve the grandmother and take care of the two young masters. I know about this, you can go back and take care of the family affairs, I ask Xie Zhenfu to call two more family members to welcome the father back. "
Cui Liangdong only responded, and asked him if Cui Ju could move back to Beijing after the court's amnesty.
In fact, Cui Ju's filial piety had already been fulfilled before the food was transported to Jiubian. When he came back this time, he would not have to stay in a filial piety in front of the tomb. Now that the emperor has pardoned the world again, since he has already been forgiven, does he still need to stay in his native place to serve the people, or is there still a chance to go back to serve as an official
Cui Xie pursed the corners of his mouth, with a deep expression, and sighed: "The amnesty is only a pardon for the punishment of nanometers. According to the edict, any civil servants who are involved in greed, prostitution, cruelty, violence and wrongful behavior should still be issued to the people of origin. Our lord..."
He paused, looked at Cui Liangdong, and regarded his expectation as hopeless before saying: "Our master has committed both public and private crimes in Yunnan, and it is difficult to recover no matter what. But Brother Heng and Brother He are getting older, They have to study and take exams, their brothers are all sent to Beijing, and they have to go back to Beijing to take exams for scholars. I also gave them a chance to meet someone in Beijing, and after they get married, they have to study with Master Lu to compete."
Except for Cui Ju, everyone in this family can go back to Beijing and have a future. As long as the servants know this and know who they should rely on and who they should not rely on, even if Cui Ju is hundreds of miles away from him and is the master of the Cui Mansion in Qian'an, he is not afraid that this calamity will cause trouble again. .
Cui Liangdong's thoughts turned very fast, and he lowered his head and replied, "You know, the little ones must serve the two young masters well, and ask our Cui family to add two more jinshi masters!"
A slight smile appeared on Cui Xie's face: "I also have two family letters here, you can take them back for me. My brothers need to study, so they can't always serve in front of their father and grandmother. There are a few aunts at the old house, It's not safe to live in that big mansion alone, and it's even more inappropriate to live on my side, you pick them up and ask them to serve the old lady."
Originally, when the master was in filial piety, it was inconvenient to bring his concubine there, but now that he is filial piety, there is no need to be afraid that he will toss out children during his filial piety and lose himself again.
Cui Liangdong repeatedly agreed, he went to hire a car, brought a few servants who wanted to pick up the master, and then went to the old house to pick up the concubines and return home in the next day. Cui Xie didn't forget about Master Cui. He opened the moon gate leading to the garden in the middle of the night and swaggered into the garden that was being repaired together.
There is a small building under construction in the middle of the garden. There is a canal built around the small building. It has just been dug, and the water has not been released yet. At night, the moonlight shines on the exquisite strange rocks. The smooth stone surface reflects white light, making the courtyard bright and sassy. On the top of the stone sits a man in black, who is pouring and drinking wine.
Cui Xie walked up quickly and asked with a smile, "Brother Xie, how did you know that I was coming?"
Xie Ying handed the filled wine glass to him, grabbed him and pulled him hard, pulled him to sit beside him, and said with a smile, "It's not too late for you, I don't get tired when I come to the courtyard every day. When this small building is built in the future, I will occupy your neighbor's land and move into this building."
After drinking a glass of wine, Cui Xie temporarily threw the annoyance from Cui Ju behind his head and said with a smile, "This garden is originally your big place, but mine is small. Where do you want me? When this building is built, I should take advantage of you and sleep on the boundary of the Xie family."
