The first thousand and seventy-three chapters are Hongyan

Xu Hao was not surprised by the result. Zhu Zhanji himself had to show the support he should have to the Xu family in exchange for his continued idleness at home. + Xu Ye was the confidant who grew up with him. Using this matter to make Xu Ye become an official, it was a win-win situation.

Xu Ye's identity was there, and he suddenly ascended to a high position. No civil and military officials would blame him. It would be strange if he didn't do so.

However, Xu Ye did not serve as the emperor's guard, either took charge of the army in the capital, or entered the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, and became a civil servant, which was quite beyond the expectations of the officials.

The Honglu Temple is the last of the five temples, which is in charge of the meetings, banquets, sacrifices and rituals of all courtesy. The "History of Ming Dynasty" records: it is in charge of guests, good and bad rituals. All major national ceremonies, suburban temples, sacrifices, court meetings, banquets, imperial banquets, imperial banquets, enthronements, promotions, spring, preaching, and reporting to each of them. Foreign officials pay homage to the public, and the foreign officials and envoys responded to the orders of the officials and envoys, thanked them, and even those who saw and resigned, Honglu reported the report. The year was the day, the year was the year, the year was the year, the year was the year, the year was the year, the year was the year, the day was the year, the day was the day, the day was the day, the day was the day, the day was the day, the day was the day, the day was the day, the day was the day, the day was the day, the day was the day, the day was the day, the day was the day, the nine was the nine... all praised the officials for their rituals.

Zhengqing, the official position of the fourth rank, was added to the third rank, which means that Xu Ye could be on par with the Dali Temple Minister and the Taichang Temple Minister.

Honglu Temple is a small ritual department with cumbersome responsibilities but no real power. Xu Hao believes that this is the emperor's expectation for his son and is also a kind of cultivation. He hopes that the British Duke in the future will be a loyal and kind person who knows rituals and keeps rituals.

It is naturally a gratifying thing for the eldest son to become an official, but from then on he entered the unfathomable officialdom and established a political enemy as soon as he became an official.

Lu Zhen was so angry that he hated his son for being unfilial. He was demoted by him and even more hated Xu Ye for being too bullied. He did not leave any face to an old minister and was hostile from now on...

Although Sun Yuegong and Xing Kuan were nothing, they remembered that they were handed over their serious mistakes to their superiors, which was very boring. They both took leave and returned to their hometown to worship their ancestors and avoided the limelight.

The emperors made fifty big shots each and made no mistakes. Most of the talented men of this era were romantic, not to mention that Zhu Zhanji had never liked the scene of romance, so he did it intentionally, using this to warn all scholars and officials.

Because Xu Ye spoke up for justice, Sun Xing and his brothers were very close to each other. How easy was it to leave Beijing? All the fellow villagers and classmates in the same year practiced for them. They had been having fun for more than ten days before they could have a leisure time and set off on the seventh day of the eighth month.

The day before leaving Beijing, Xu Yu prepared a banquet and invited a group of friends to his home. By the way, he invited Sun Yuegong and Xing Kuan's confidantes.

In Yisou Garden, guests praised the scenery in the park and lingered everywhere.

Sun Yuegong said to Hongyan Juxian: "We are about to leave. Today we will come to the Xu family to have a party. Let's take this talk. I don't know when I will be back when I leave Beijing."

Juxian is an ordinary singer on the Qinhuai River and has never been very famous. Since Sun Yuegong named the top scholar, she has also become famous and has become a popular famous prostitute in the Qinhuai River.

Juxian said, "I was going to see you off, but today I want you to wait for your banquet. Can't I even afford a meal of wine for me Juxian? Today's host is mine."

Sun Yuegong smiled and said, "You are a vulgar. You and I are my close friends. Xiao Yu is my best friend, so how can we divide each other? Isn't it the same if you invite us again in the future?"

Xu Yu in the distance waved and said, "Don't whisper, come and sit down."

After drinking for several weeks, Juxian was about to part, and after eating a few more cups, her body became hot. She took off her coat, revealing the light okra yarn and the green silk yarn dress that looked even more charming.

The others were talking and laughing. She stood up and poured wine for Sun Yugong. Because she was wearing lotus-colored cloud-filled butterfly clogs, she couldn't stand firm when attending. She staggered and half of her body was tilted into Sun Yugong's arms. She was so scared that she held the other person's wrists tightly, for fear of falling to the ground.

Sun Yuegong was shocked by her and quickly supported the person with his hands.

Juxian smiled and glanced at him, saying self-deprecatingly: "I ate a few more hours today, and my calves are weak. If you hadn't supported me, I would have lie down on the ground."

After saying that, he pursed his lips and chuckled constantly. Seeing that she was drunk, Sun Yugong felt that the two hands on his arms were white, tender and smooth as cotton. When he saw her almond eyes blurred and her cheeks were red, he couldn't help but feel his heart swayed, and he also said with a smile: "You've fallen a little, and almost scared the wine I ate yesterday."

Everyone laughed, Juxian embarrassedly toasted everyone's wine before taking her seat.

Sun Yugong looked at her blankly, unable to leave her, suddenly stood up and raised her glass to return, saying, "Juxian, I have something I want to say to you long ago. I think your parents have both died. My hometown is in Suzhou. I went to Beijing to sing songs because I was poor and unsupported. Recently, you have accumulated a little silver, so why bother to love this livelihood? Why should I go home with me? Although I can't respect you as the main wife, Sun swears to heaven that I will never take a concubine in my life."

"Okay!" Xu Yu and others shouted.

Juxian nodded, tears fell down, and she choked and said, "I don't have the shame and disgust because I have been poor? Because Chengjun is kind to you in recent years, the family has been busy recently, and it is still lively. I can redeem my body, but I have no choice but to leave it. Master refused to let me go. I will jump out of this fire pit in some unknown year." When I said this, I couldn't help crying.

Sun Yugong handed her a handkerchief and said, "If you talk about the matter of redeeming yourself, it is actually very easy. Needless to say, Xiao Yu, your master just wants money, and you don't need to pay a penny for your private house. I don't have enough money, and you have friends to help me. I believe your master dares not to obey."

Xu Yu said, "The branch should be, not for Lao Sun, but for the friendship between Juxian. I wonder how much money your master wants, so I can only give you a chance to become a master?"

"Thank you everyone." Juxian was really grateful, "Master Yinu's greed said that I would need a thousand silver to allow me to become a master!"

Sun Yuegong said happily: "It's not difficult. I have five of us, five hundred taels, Xiao Yu has two hundred taels, and Lao Xing and the others have one hundred taels. Tomorrow you will tell your master, pay the bank in person and go to the master in person."

Juxian looked particularly happy, and she stood up to thank everyone and thanked everyone. When the banquet was over, Sun Yuegong told her to explain to her master early, "You can't delay, we have made a reservation for the day after tomorrow."

After all, Sun Yuegong became an official, so it was inconvenient for him to come forward in person in this way. Juxian nodded and agreed.

Dan Shuo Juxian returned to her residence and told her about this. Her master shook his head and said, "Speak lightly. I worked hard to raise you and taught you a skill. I originally hoped that you would earn more money and would rely on you to support you in the second half of my life. Now you said you want to become a master, but I haven't even earned my capital yet. Wouldn't it be a waste of effort?"

Looking at the appearance of Juxian, the master said again, "It seems that you must leave. As the saying goes, it is hard to keep your mind. Forget it! There are so many great masters and nobles who redeem you for at least 10,000 silver. I can only be worth it if I lack it. This is the imperial capital, and there are rules for the industry. I think these gentlemen are not good because I don’t allow you to come out to find a job. Even if I come, I am not afraid."

Seeing that her master was like this, Juxian said, "Master doesn't allow me to become a master. The disciple dares not refuse to obey, so he has to blame his sins for not being fully taken and is destined, and the disciple does not blame his master. However, there is a noble young man among them who has spoken out, so he will never be willing to do so.

Once you annoy them for this, you will be in trouble with your master. Although you are not afraid, you are a second son of the dignified Duke's Mansion. A new top scholar, a new Shujishi, and a current chief minister of the Honglu Temple and the eldest grandson of the Xu family. Can't these great figures try to deal with your master? The disciple thought that the master should take it as soon as possible. Even if the disciple has earned a lot for his master in the past few years, you should think about it."

"If a woman is too old, she won't stay." The master sighed. He was said softly by the jujube. How could he dare to speak loudly? Otherwise, he wouldn't have to stay in Jinling. He would have to change his words and cost 3,000 taels of silver.

Juxian bargained with her for a long time. After finally reducing it to two thousand taels, his master said that one tael would not be enough.

Early the next morning, Juxian couldn't wait to get a cart to Sun Yuegong's residence.

Sun Yuegong said, "Don't be anxious. Even if your master gritted his teeth and asked for 10,000 yuan, I would agree, let alone only two thousand taels, can it stump me, Sun? You sit down first, and I will do the matter immediately."

Immediately sent someone to ask for help from Xu Ye. Xu Yu asked Lian'er to go to the silver account to get two silver notes. Sun Yugong took them, and saw that they were 1,000 taels per bill. He handed the two bills to Juxian, "I won't keep you anymore. Please go with you. I will explain in person, and then move your luggage and other items to me. We will make a trip tomorrow."

Juxian was so happy that she got on the car and Lian'er rode a horse with great might.

It arrived soon, Juxian got out of the car first. Her master learned that Lian'er was the manager of the Xu Mansion, so he hurriedly came out and invited her to the house to serve as a tea fruit.

Even the Er said nothing and sat there carelessly. Juxian took out the silver notes, handed them respectfully with both hands, and said, "I cannot repay you by my master's education. I left my master halfway and felt ashamed. Now I obeyed the master's order and asked Mr. Sun to borrow two thousand silver as a price for redeem. In the future, if my disciple can stand up, I will come to honor you."

Her master took the silver bill and looked at it. He put it in his arms. He raised it with one hand. He couldn't help but feel sad when he parted, so he said to Lian'er: "I am happy for her because of the great kindness of the prince of the noble family. But there is one thing that the young disciple has a bad temperament since childhood. If he offended Sun Zhuangsheng in the future, I hope Master Lian will take care of him. I am really worried."

Lian'er smiled and said, "Zhuangyuan Gong has a very generous temper. Don't worry. Two thousand taels of silver have been handed over. Even if her life is not easy, it's not your business. Save these fake compassionate words and save yourself some face."

The master was not annoyed, but instead smiled and said, "My words from Lian are too low on me. I have been with my master and apprentice for five or six years. Even if it is fake, isn't there any real thing? Who can be ruthless without a plant or a tree?"

Everyone laughed when they said, Lian'er put away his arrogance and urged Juxian to pack his luggage, load it and move it to the car. Before leaving, Juxian knelt on the ground and shouted goodbye to his master. The sisters all came out to say goodbye. The master also shed some tears half-true and half-false, so he had to give him some instructions.

Speaking of Juxian, she successfully escaped from the sea of ​​suffering, how could others not envy her after seeing it? Especially Xing Kuan’s confidant Guixian, who was suffering from Xing Kuan’s relatively dull and taciturn personality, and her family background was far from comparable to Sun Yuegong. After all, she had to pay back the money after borrowing it.

In the past two years, the Qinhuai River has become an immortal, such as plum fairy, peach fairy, lotus fairy, hibiscus fairy, pomegranate fairy, rosemary fairy, mandala fairy, etc. It is popular for literati to wear Taoist robes, give themselves a magic number, and make a visit to brothels called visiting immortals and seeking Taoism.
