Volume Two, The Lights of Ten Thousand Houses, Chapter 48: The Common Ground of History

In Chang'an City, a quaint house with figures shuttled through people, and the house was decorated with lights and colorful lights.

"Mom Wang, there are not enough staff, please bring some people to the kitchen to help. Oh, Xiaowu comes over, come over, and hang up the lanterns at the door." The middle-aged butler has been busy since dawn.

Everyone in Chen Mansion is busy today, just because today is the master’s fiftieth birthday.

In the study room of the Fuyuan, there were two old men sitting on the fragrant wooden chairs.

Sima Rui'an was wearing a casual clothes with long beards and was full of energy. He swallowed a mouthful of tea, patted his clothes, stood up and said, "Mr. Shen, Qingzhou will be handed over to you."

Chenzang quickly stood up and supported Sima Rui'an and replied: "Don't worry, the loyal emperor is also Chenzang's responsibility for the people."

He sent Sima Rui'an away, and Chenzang looked thoughtful. Although Sima Rui'an, the ruling prime minister of the dynasty, was nearly seventy years old, the momentum and majesty of the old man still made Chenzang feel invisible and huge pressure.

The Qin Dynasty ruled the three states, with a strong country and a strong army, and the power in the court was intertwined. One of the two largest parties was the reformist faction with Sima Rui'an, who advocated reform and strengthening the country, and the other was the conservative party with Yao Bi, who advocated protection of the country and the people. The two parties had been vying for several years, and their party members were almost everywhere in any of the court's institutions.

Chenzang was born as the top scholar. When he was young, he was appointed as a teacher, so he should belong to the old party. However, this top scholar knew the dangers of the officialdom. He was very good at it, and he was very clean and neat in his work. He was in a clean and neat way and kept in touch. Chenzang belongs to neutral, capable of doing practical things, but he belongs to the kind of person who has no pioneering thinking. This sentence is Sima Rui'an's evaluation of Chenzang.

Sima Rui'an, a pivotal minister, was even more important in the court and the emperor's army. Today, I can visit Shenzang in person. It is impossible to say whether Shenzang is surprised or not. However, what surprised Shenzang the most was what Sima Rui'an said to him just now.

"Hidden! You are naturally very good at being a human being, and you don't offend both. However, if you don't touch some things, others will care more. Apart from black or white, you don't want to offend either, but you are offending both."

Chenzang was startled and the blue and white porcelain tea cup was broken on the spot. With his concentration, his back was already soaked in cold sweat.

According to legend, this Sima Gong likes to be honest the most. Even if his disciples give him gifts, he would not be happy. It is even rumored that Li Long asked about his family's situation. The priest in the dynasty had only one old servant who raised horses in his home, and there was not even a maid to serve him, which shows his innocence.

Chenzang admires Sima Rui'an, and it is hard not to be admired by people like Sima Rui'an. Sima Rui'an has been famous all over the world for decades, and has always cared about the world and does what he does for the people and the country. It is said that this prime minister had a confidante when he was young. Unfortunately, the beauty died early and was later married by the late emperor and never took a concubine. Whenever he thought of everything about this prime minister, Sima Rui'an's short and tall figure appeared in his mind, and he couldn't help but feel respect.

He believed that people like Sima Rui'an would not make things difficult for him, or they would not make things difficult for him, but other people in the new party would not do it, and it would be even more difficult to guarantee that another prime minister, that is, the hidden teacher, would not attack him.

Chenzang stroked the sandalwood table with his hands and fell into deep thoughts.

The executive and governor of Qingzhou. He can make a name for himself and become famous throughout the ages. But if he doesn't do well or does too well? Thinking of this, Chenzang remembers what Sima Rui'an said to him: "Mr. Shen, a person can live for others or for himself in his life. The former can only be a good official, while the latter is a good official, but not necessarily called a good official." When saying this, Sima Rui'an did not call him Shenzang but called him Shen, Chenzang silently.

"Dad, do you think I look good in this dress?" As I was thinking deeply, a purple figure jumped into my eyes.

"Green clothes, you look good in whatever you wear, just your mother." Chenzang saw this figure and felt all his worries disappear. He looked at the woman in front of him with a doting look.

"Hmph, even praising me is talking about my mother. I'm not sincere at all. I think you don't care about my daughter at all. My mother is in my eyes and my heart is right?" Chen Luyi blinked, as playful as an elf.

"You are wronged by Dad. Your mother is usually jealous of you. Why don't you love her if you have a daughter? I don't have time to love you, mother and daughter, so how dare you neglect it!"

"Dad loves mother, of course my daughter won't be jealous. My daughter just cares about her father, afraid that you will overwork." Chen Luyi patted the dust on the hidden clothes, and the father and daughter were talking and laughing.

As the sun sets, the Shen Mansion gradually becomes lively. A group of people outside the door visited the door, and there were five or six people, and the one who was an old man wearing Confucian clothes and a purple crown.

"Congratulations, congratulations!" said the old man in a long crane robe before he even entered the door.

"Teacher, please come in quickly! Someone comes to serve tea." Chenzang hurried over to support him when he saw the old man.

Yao Bi has a medium figure, a white face and no beard, and looks like a Confucian.

"Miss in green clothes, the day before yesterday told my father that he would come to visit Uncle Shen. Dad said that Uncle Shen's birthday was the day before, and he came here to visit today. I will definitely apologize to the girl later." One of the five or six people in yellow brocade smiled at Chen Lu's clothes.

When Chen Luyi saw this person, he gave a blessing to everyone one by one, and smiled faintly: "Your Majesty is worried. Luyi has met you all uncles, please feel good to Grandpa Yao."

Seeing that she was born with a sweet mouth, Yao Bi praised, "Okay, okay. Green clothes, don't be too polite."

The man in yellow saw her beautiful eyes and was in a hot heart. He was about to speak, but he was glared at the middle-aged man next to him.

"Brother Chen, I left the government office that day and prepared to visit. I didn't expect that there are many things to do recently, so I'm sorry."

"Wenxi has met Uncle Shen, and his father said it well. He had long wanted to come to Uncle Shen's house. I ordered someone to specially find some ocean pearls and heavenly silkworms and snow silk from Luo Kingdom, and today I will bring my birthday to Uncle Shen."

"It's already a big gift for Brother Wang and Nephew to come to my husband's birthday, so why bother so much?" Chenzang replied with a smile.

"It's all the little bit of the wishes of the dog. I hope Brother Chen won't be surprised."

Several people were having a joke, and the host and guest were sitting in the seats.

The servant who was doing odd jobs in the mansion whispered a few words in Shen Zang's ear. Shen Zang's expression changed slightly, he said a few words to Yao Bi, and then ran out.

Chen's mansion was not very big. He walked through the corridor and stopped under the pavilion in the back garden. A man in a brocade robe and jade hairpin sitting in the pavilion changed his expression. He walked to him and Chen's kneel respectfully to the ground.

"Hi Majesty, long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long, his wife said. "

"Mr. Chen, there is no need to be such a polite courtesy. I am on a visit in a secluded manner. You are the birthday boy today. Get up quickly." The man turned around and looked at Chen Hidden with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" He hid himself.

"Today is so lively, I'm here to enjoy the blessings. Lord Shen won't mind, right?" Li Long joked.

"Your Majesty is here, I am flattered, and my mansion is full of glory." Chenzang said kneeling on the ground and said.

"Mr. Shen, you don't have to be too polite." The young emperor said unhappy.

Chenzang saw that Long Yan was unhappy and quickly got up.

"Okay, OK, Lord Shen, you don't have to be restrained. I just saw Mr. Sima coming out of your house and I was very curious. What did you say?" Li Long preached slowly.

Hearing this, he was shocked.

Autumn is like a piece of malt sugar, sticking to your mouth and making people feel endless aftertaste. The sunset in Chang'an is soft, like a marshmallow melting in the alley and melting on the long street. Every person traveling in Chang'an City has a smile on his face, the kind on his face.

The square yard and the straight long streets remind people of the word "Chang'an". Lin Ziyun stepped on the green stone slabs, and occasionally looked at her eyes and could grasp the yellow grass growing from the broken stone slabs. These history of Chang'an must have seen the bustling spring, so she hid and fell asleep.

The steady and stable street makes people feel at ease when walking on it. The neat streets allow you to see the scenery at a glance, making people feel relaxed. Chang'an, Chang'an, perhaps the most extraordinary thing about this city is its rebellion with its name and itself.

"For ten years, people from Qizhou have returned home and look at Chang'an like arrows. They traveled through mountains and rivers to see Qishan, and looked back at Qizhou." The man carrying a shoulder pole sang a song in his mouth.

"Hot braised noodles, let's have a bowl of them." The man's thick voice was mixed with a strong partial voice, and no one knew that he was from Chang'an.

Qin Song was pulled to take a full bath. It was probably because the lice on his body didn't like the new residence. His new clothes were scratched by his thick hands, and they were wrinkled in a mess. "Oh, I'm so itchy. I can't reach you if you help Lao Qin scratch the back."

Lin Ziyun rolled his eyes, ignored this man at all, thinking to himself why he had become a sworn person with this rogue. Qin Song saw that Lin Ziyun had a disgust in his eyes, scratched his head awkwardly, and then spit a thick piece of phlegm on the white ground of the Chen Mansion.

He squeezed his eyebrows and ran to Qin Tianhe. Needless to say, the handsome Mr. Qin pushed this guy away without saying a word. The tall Zhou Yi also felt Qin Song's annoyance when riding on the horse, turned his head and glared fiercely, scaring Qin Song to shivering to Lin Ziyun in disgrace.

After several people entered the Chen Mansion, Lin Ziyun knew no one, and they drank tea on their own in the living room with Qin Song. "Brother, all the people here are high-ranking officials. If you are interested, I will recommend you to meet and meet Lao Qin."

Everyone was in contact with great officials and scholars and celebrities. When Lin Ziyun heard Qin Song say something, he was a little moved and asked Qin Song to take him around.

"This person is worthy of being a great scholar in the world, and a very grand scene!" Lin Ziyun said intimately.

Not to mention the white horse seven-scented carriages on the Guanjia Avenue, and the jade chariot guards were neatly arranged a hundred meters away. The treasure carriages were all dragons holding treasure covers, and the phoenix spitting tassels, either official or rich. The women in the interior of the house were all wearing red makeup, with clouds and cicadas's hair, and red makeup. The goose yellow on the first moon was very impressive.

There are two pairs of stone unicorns at the front of the door, with their teeth and claws, their foreheads are flattened with gold and silver, and a golden peach is inlaid with them. Red flowers are placed on both sides, the size of the moon is a rare species found from abroad.

Piluo flowers are piled up on the flowerbeds on both sides, red sticks of incense wax are placed on the sandalwood table, jade pots of wine and delicacies are brought to the table by beautiful maids. The mansion is full of distinguished guests, either a handsome young man in brocade clothes, a beautiful woman, or a big official with a big belly and a noble man in the court.

Lin Ziyun met several people with Qin Song and got together to drink. During this period, Qin Song said that he saw Qin Tianhe and the eldest lady of the Shen family playing and wanted to pull him back. Lin Ziyun wanted to stop him, but the man walked away. Sure enough, he pulled the depressed Qin Tianhe when he came back. Lin Ziyun often heard Qin Song mention this person. When he saw this today, he was indeed the dragon among people, with extraordinary appearance and a righteous look on his eyebrows.

"Brother Qin, I have long admired the name." Lin Ziyun bowed and bowed to the ceremony.

Qin Song must have told Qin Tianhe that Lin Ziyun had changed his smile, and pushed Qin Song away with disgust, raised his glass to toast Lin Ziyun with a glass of wine. Several people gathered together and said something to joke about Qin Song. Lin Ziyun didn't expect that his brother was notorious and had the same ability to lead troops to fight, so he couldn't help but feel funny. However, Qin Song was bored and pulled several people to drink.

After everyone had drunk three rounds, the master appeared. Lin Ziyun looked at him and saw a middle-aged man with a majestic face and a gray-headed head.

"I am not talented, today's fifty birthday gift. Dear guests come to visit, you are missing the welcome!"

"Mr. Shen is so polite." The guests in the hall returned the gift.

"Today is my birthday gift. I am not well received. Please forgive me. The Huadiao wine specially sent from Qingzhou a few days ago is a great product for more than ten years, so everyone should try it." Chenzang said, and raised his glass.

The moon is like a training, the sky is like ink, the red light is like fire, and the glass of wine is like snow.

"Please, please!"

"Mr. Shen, please!"

This is the first time Lin Ziyun has drunk a good wine for ten years, and he said intimately that it is good wine. It has a strong aroma and is sweet in the mouth.

"Mr. Shen, Your Majesty, let me congratulate you on your longevity and safety." An old man with a hoarse voice holding a purple jade handle to congratulate Chen Hsang.

"Auspicious clouds burn the sky city, the top scholar returns home..." A bunch of words simply talk about the achievements he had hidden over the years and the emperor's praise for him.

Chenzang received the imperial edict and recited the saint long live the saint.

66 Continue, the guests in the hall sent gifts and recited birthday speeches. No matter how dark the birthday boy experienced, he still thanked him one by one on the surface, whether he was with the New Law Party, the Old Party, or the Zhou Yi, who was guarding the country. This old fox in the officialdom was struggling, and he kept it in a deep position.

The guests who gave the gifts, whether they came with purpose or were purely friendly with Chenzang, drank three glasses of wine and left Chen Mansion.

Lin Ziyun did not see the undercurrents below the birthday gift, but he heard Qin Song say it well. However, what was unstoppable in Lin Ziyun's mind was the word "New Method". He couldn't help but think of Li Jue's reform and Wu Qi's reform.

Abolishing the hereditary, feudal frontiers, implementing land law reforms, and military law reforms. Lin Ziyun's mind was like thunder in heaven. He vaguely felt that perhaps he could rise, or perhaps right in front of him. Lin Ziyun, who had been carrying China's thousands of years of historical reforms, reforms, and historical advancement, had a thunder in heaven, and was extremely uneasy. He was originally a person who did not like to be content and was eager to show his ambitions.

Looking at the fireworks all over the street and the bright moon hanging in the sky, Lin Ziyun almost jumped up excitedly.

Qin Song was startled, wondering why Lin Ziyun was so excited. "Brother, why are you so happy?"

"Oh, it's okay." Lin Ziyun couldn't hide his excitement and pulled Qin Song and said, "Brother, didn't you say that... Then where is your confidante? Let's go, brother, please drink."

Qin Song looked Lin Ziyun back and forth, left and right, and it seemed that a new big 6 appeared.

"Drink flower wine?"

Lin Ziyun nodded meaningfully.

In the ancient city of Chang'an, the waning moon and starry skyward, the two turned around and grabbed Qin Tianhe and pulled them to the depths of the flowers together. Poor, this Qin Gong was still in the dark, and his drunken eyes were squeezing and being pinched by Qin Song's big hands, unable to break free.

At that time, many young people were crazy, picking flowers and looking for willows to climb the Red Mansion. The young man wore a sword, the general hung a knife, and a scholar with a white face and red ears walked into the Red Mansion.
