Chapter 616 Every scar is my contribution
Jingcheng Zhaohui Jinggongfang, the brightest pearl among the 28 squares in the capital.
Fang is a unit of ancient residential area and the name of the ancient urban planning pattern. In the Spring and Autumn Period, the city was divided into a number of closed "li" and "fang" as residential areas, commonly known as "fang". The Ming Dynasty divided Shuntian City (the capital) into twenty-eight "fangs", among which Zhaohui Jinggongfang merged Zhaohui Fang and Jinggongfang during the Yuan Dynasty into one, and was called "Zhaohuijinggongfang". .
The layout of the capital is roughly "rich in the east, noble in the west, poor in Chongwen, poor in Xuanwu". If Xicheng District is the richest district in the capital, then Zhaohui Jinggongfang, located in Xicheng District, is the most prosperous district in Xicheng District. The most prosperous square, it is worthy of its name. It is truly a place of great wealth and great honor. The streets and alleys in the square are dotted with the homes of high-ranking officials. There are countless palaces of various shapes such as royal mansions and noble courtyards. Here, from cabinet ministers and generals to princes and wealthy businessmen, all kinds of high-ranking officials can be found here. Nobles and celebrities are proud to live here.
Fang District runs north-south, continuing the "chessboard" layout of the city since the Spring and Autumn Period. There are eight alleys in the east and west, including "Gonghou Street" where Linhuai Hou Mansion is located, and "Western Alley" where Yan Song's Mansion is located. "Chang'an Street" is located in Jinggongfang, Zhaohui. Sixteen alleys are like the legs of a centipede, arranged left and right in Jinggongfang, Zhaohui, making the area look like a centipede. In the northernmost area of the area, there are two sweet and delicious ancient wells, which are like the eyes of a centipede, making the area look like a centipede. The square area is even more centipede.
In addition, high-ranking officials and dignitaries mostly behave in an unruly manner, a typical centipede style.
Therefore, Zhaohui Jinggongfang is also called Centipede Street.
There is an alley in Jinggongfang, Zhaohui, named Beibingmasi Hutong. As its name suggests, most of the alleys are home to military personnel. At this moment, the aroma of wine came from the alley. Sure enough, the aroma of wine was not afraid of the depth of the alley.
Walking through the alley, you will find that the source of the aroma of wine is the mansion called "Jianwei General's Mansion" in the alley. Of course, if you look carefully, you will find that there are two small characters "Zhao Mansion" that are several sizes smaller on the plaque of "Jianwei General Mansion".
Jianwei General is the name of a military attaché, a first-grade official position in the Ming Dynasty. This official position first appeared in the Western Han Dynasty. Ma Dai, who killed Wei Yan in the Shu Kingdom during the Three Kingdoms period, once held this official position.
There is a reason for the Jianwei General's Mansion, the Zhao Mansion. The great-grandfather of the Zhao Mansion once held this official position, and this official residence was left over from that time. This experience is the pride of the Zhao family. In order to recognize this experience and to urge the progress of future generations, the Zhao family engraved the mansion plaque like this.
When Zhu Ping'an saw this plaque, he twitched his lips and uttered five words speechlessly, "How can you really pretend"!
There are two one-meter-high stone lions in front of the Zhao Mansion. They are shorter than the ones in front of the Yan Mansion, but they still look majestic. The mansion occupies a large area, with tall walls and many buildings. There are two armored soldiers on duty in front of the gate of the mansion. There is a martial arts arena inside the mansion, where horses can be raced. There are archery targets, eighteen kinds of weapon racks, and some stone locks and stone piers, all of which show that this is a military and martial arts palace. Home
At this moment, the aroma of wine and vegetables came from the Zhao Mansion. The maids in the mansion carried various delicacies and wines to and from the martial arts arena, and delivered them to a courtyard in the mansion. At this time, the courtyard was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and the guests were all seated. The sound of silk and bamboo could be heard all the time, people were drinking and drinking, there were bursts of laughter, and from time to time, there were sounds of men and women joking and having sex.
As a few maids carrying wine and food opened the curtain, the banquet scene came into view.
There were three tables for the banquet, each with about eight people, for a total of twenty or thirty people. At the banquet, there were several posing fireworks women dancing in colorful clothes, and two disheveled people playing the pipa.
Sitting in the middle of the banquet was Zhao Daying, who had recently been promoted to Qianhu. His face was full of joy, holding a disheveled female school secretary in his arms, and he was laughing loudly with other people at the banquet.
The other people at the banquet were all similar, either touching the woman with fireworks in their arms, or pulling the woman with fireworks to make fun of her.
Judging from their clothing, most of these guests were military officials. When they were drunk, many took off their soft armor and drank with bare arms. Of course, there was also a table of civil servants. Compared to the other two tables of military attachés, they were more polite, of course, but that was just relative.
When the maid is serving food, no matter which table you are at, you will be teased and teased. No matter how you look at it, this is an improper banquet.
"Today, thank you all for your compliments. Come to my poor place, Mr. Zhao. The house is all lit up. Come and do it." Qianhu Zhao Daying held the girl's school book in his arms and raised a wine glass in his hand to toast.
"Come on, Mr. Zhao said it well."
"Sir Zhao has good wine and beautiful people, so I have to come no matter what."
At the banquet The military attachés raised their glasses one after another, which was very honorable. Of course, their free hands were not idle either, stroking around the fireworks woman beside them.
"General Zhao speaks well. He is truly a Confucian general. Having General Zhao here is a blessing to the Ming Dynasty."
You want to say that Pengpi is brilliant, right? !If you don’t know, just don’t stand out. What’s the point of lighting up a house in a shabby place? Do you want to set your home on fire? The civil servants at the table were disdainful in their hearts, but they also gave them enough respect and toasted together.
The second thing is that Zhao Daying has an official position of thousands of households. No matter how high these military attachés are, they will not be in the eyes of their civil servants; the important thing is that he is now a popular figure in the Yan Mansion, and there is interest in it. They, the members of the Yan Party, will naturally You need to know how to observe words and emotions.
For a time, the guests and hosts rejoiced together, and the fireworks lady at the banquet also cooperated, and the banquet atmosphere became better and better.
While the wine was in full swing, we couldn’t help but talk about the memorial issue currently faced by Zhao Daying from thousands of households.
"Zhu Ping'an is such a fucking idiot! He can't understand the situation, so he slanders General Zhao, and doesn't even look at how much blood our soldiers have shed for our Ming Dynasty!"
A shirtless military attache stepped on the chair, blushed and spoke impassionedly while holding a glass of wine.
"That's right, that idiot is stupid because of reading! The rumors slandering General Zhao that he heard from somewhere are actually taken seriously, and he still has the courage to report it to someone who doesn't know where he came from! I don't know. Is our General Zhao personally promoted by Prime Minister Yan?”
Hearing this, another military attache slapped the table hard, causing the food and wine on the table to jump up and down, and he echoed.
“No, that person surnamed Zhu thought he was awesome because he got the top score in the exam, but he didn’t know that awesome people are born to be fooled. This kind of person has to be beaten hard before he can look at it. Clear the situation, damn it, you dare to complain!"
"I must have been hit by a pig when I went out, and my head was broken!"
Others at the banquet echoed one after another, hurling various insults and abuses at Zhu Pingan.
"Thank you for your compliments. We, Mr. Zhao, are upright and not afraid of slanted shadows. Let that little thief Zhu Ping'an dance around for a while. I believe that the adults from the Ministry of Punishment, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the factory guards will return the favor. I am innocent. I, Mr. Zhao, earned my official position with my swords and bullets. I earned it with my blood and sweat, unlike that little thief Zhu Ping'an who only talks about it. The bad words are hurtful!"
Qianhu Zhao Daying raised his glass to thank everyone at the banquet, and said the sarcastic Zhu Ping'an, then drank it in one gulp. Hiccup, while he was still drunk, he stood up and took off his clothes, revealing his entire back to everyone, showing off the scars on his back as if they were medals.
I saw four centipede-like scars crisscrossing Qianhu Zhao Daying’s back. They were red marks and were real scars. The shortest ones were five or six centimeters long, which were very eye-catching.
“This knife wound was made by Zhao when I was fighting against the Tatars in Xuanfu. At that time, the wind and sand were thick, and I fought against two Tatar scouts by myself, killing one and running away, leaving This scar.”
"This gunshot wound was made by me, Zhao, when I fought with the Jurchens in Jizhou."
"This gunshot wound was made by me, Zhao, when I went out to the fortress with the General Soldier in Renmin Datong. This knife almost killed me, Mr. Zhao. At that time, it was enough I lay on my feet for seven days and seven nights before I woke up."
"This place."
Qianhu Zhao Daying was naked from the waist up and pointed at the scars with his hand. He explained the scars to everyone as if they were treasures from his family. Origin, face full of pride. Every scar is my contribution. Can you, Zhu Ping, do it? !
