Chapter 120 The Battle between North and South
Xie Fengyue curled her lips. It was really compiled by those old-fashioned people. It was unrealistic at all. Women from aristocratic families all believed in their status. How could they fall in love with a common scholar and abandon the family and run away? The most ridiculous thing is to go If you go to a low-class restaurant, you will commit suicide.
She has really fallen to that level. If she wants to kill all those who know the truth of the matter, as long as she kills all the people who know the matter, isn't she still a clean and innocent girl from a family?
Zhe Zhi felt that he had missed the point and continued: "The girl from the aristocratic family reunited with her husband on the day of the flower field. There is no such thing as the day of the flower field in the north. When I heard it today, I still find it quite strange."
Xie Fengyue looked at her excited little eyes and paused: "Is the flower field just for parades? I heard Lian Jun say that things are not peaceful here recently. If we want to leave the town, we won't go."
Huarui answered: "During the day, there is a parade, and at night there is a bonfire party in the open space beside the city. At that time, there will be a escort sent by the wealthy gentry."
"How do you know so clearly?" Zhizhi asked in surprise.
"The boy heard my accent and thought I was a foreigner from the north. He kept showing off to me, saying that their Tangquan Town was the richest in the entire Pinghe County, and that I must have never seen the grand event of Flower Field Day. ”
Hua Rui was a little disdainful: "The boy also said that we foreigners from the north should be careful not to collide with the nobles from Shengjing who came to the town."
Xie Fengyue was silent. So the North and the South were so opposed to each other outside? She thought that only the nobles from the North and the South were silently competing with each other, but it turned out that even the common people secretly joined in.
Seeing Hua Rui say this, Zhe Zhi wanted to go even more: "What noble people in Shengjing are just nobles who were detained in Shengjing. Everyone thought they had two pairs of eyes."
< br>
She changed her topic and looked at Xie Fengyue pitifully: "Girl~"
Zhezhi was born into a family of nobles in the north, and he was privy to some of Qian'an's secrets.
The Zhou royal family did not have the strength to truly restrain the important gentry, so they could only rely on official positions to allow the heads of wealthy families to serve as officials. The original intention was to let the wealthy families move to Shengjing and gradually weaken their influence on the original place. After the Zhou Dynasty, The royal family has been passed down for three generations, and this matter is like boiling a frog in warm water. It has caused many families, both big and small, to abandon their clan and move to Qian'an.
For this reason, he praised and praised him profusely, and even gave promotions and rewards to the heads of families who had moved their families. This has created a city full of upstarts, including not only the nobles who had moved in, but also the upstarts from poor families who had been promoted by the imperial court in recent years. .
So the imperial court was divided into four groups.
First, only the family heads, mainly the Wang family of Langya, the Xie family of Chenjun, the Fan family of Luyang, and the Li family of Longxi, entered the court as officials. The main influence was the old gentry in the ancestral land. The second was the first batch of people who moved to Shengjing. Among the nobles, the third one is the new rich from a humble family, and the last one is naturally the princes, princes and princes who mainly belong to the royal family.
Xie Fengyue thought about this, and she also wanted to see the behavior of the nobles in Shengjing City. After all, she was born in Chen County and grew up in Chen County. She really didn't know enough about the outside world.
Seeing that the girl's expression had relaxed, Zhe Zhi hurriedly helped her up and knelt down beside the dressing table, combing her hair with a tooth comb. Thousands of blue hairs lay obediently in her palm.
She took out a gilt hair hoop from the dowry, tied up her hair, folded her hair at the end, and tied it together in the hoop. A pearl flower was inserted in the hair, and finally, all the hair was tied tightly with a white jade hairpin. The crystal clear pearl flower and the white jade hairpin complement each other, which is really beautiful.
Zhe Zhi looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction and raised the moon earring in his hand: "The girl has a pretty face and only needs the simplest hairpin and beaded hairpin, but this ear earring should be chosen to complement the girl."
She picked through her makeup basket and selected a lipstick that was similar to Mingyue Chuan. After some fussing, she became even more proud.
"My girl's appearance is so outstanding that it will make those southern gentlemen unable to hold their heads up."
Her heroic words ended when Xie Fengyue went out and put on the curtain hat again.
Xie Fengyue pinched her bulging cheeks in a funny way: "You are not familiar with this place, and you have no servants to protect you. Do you know that your girl's appearance is stunning, and she is still exposed to the outside, just to cause trouble?" br>
Zhe Zhi understood this, but she still felt uncomfortable. Even though her daughter was so beautiful, she had to cover her up with a hat every day. Isn't this a waste of natural resources?
Xie Fengyue walked straight out of the door and went straight to the room where Xie Rong was. Hua Rui stopped her and said, "This servant saw the master taking Xiao Xuanzi out." Xie Fengyue was in a good mood at this time and asked lazily: " When did you go out? Did you say what you were going for?”
"When the young man was showing off, the master heard that he looked down on the outsiders from the north, so he took Xiao Xuanzi out, saying that he wanted to see what the nobles in Shengjing were like."
Xie Fengyue twirled the broken hair beside her ears and said helplessly: "Father, he can't stand this the most. Since Xiao Xuanzi follows him, there won't be any trouble, forget it, let him be."
When Xie Fengyue went out, she happened to encounter a parade approaching the door. It was very lively with gongs and drums. At the head of the long parade was a float filled with flowers. On the float, there was a woman sitting on her knees. She must be one with outstanding appearance. There was a smile on her face, and for a moment she looked even more charming than a flower.
The onlookers even shouted loudly for the Flower Fairy. When the woman sprinkled the twigs in her hands with rain and dew on everyone, there was endless laughter and praise.
Xie Fengyue saw that her excitement was waning, isn’t this the Flower Chao Festival
That woman was playing the role of the Flower Fairy. She must have been invited by Wu Zhu to dance at the bonfire party in the evening to celebrate the good weather in the coming year.
Zhezhi also looked at a loss for words. Just reading the description in the book, she thought it was some kind of surprising and romantic festival. Unexpectedly, it was a Flower Festival. Before the Xie family was in trouble, the girl in her family played the role of a child under the seat of the Flower Fairy when she was young. The queen is a flower fairy every year.
Those clichéd congratulations almost made her ears tingle.
"Let's go." Xie Fengyue said.
Zhe Zhi thought deeply: "The south is indeed more elegant. It doesn't look half as grand as our Hua Chao Festival. The float is just four horses, and even the flower fairy is nothing."
Xie Fengyue didn't think so. She retorted: "We are all praying for the people, how can we say whether it is good or bad?"
When she said this, she didn't lower her voice at all because of the noise around her.
From time to time, unkind looks would come my way.
"You foreigners really love to talk nonsense. It is obvious that your Flower Festival is a copycat of our Xiaomanhuachang, but you are still confusing right and wrong here."
If one person raises his head, others can add insult to injury.
From the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Northern and Southern Wei and Jin dynasties, powerful large families would not move into the capital, because once they moved in, it would mean that the whole family would become an object of slaughter.
Even the head of the family who entered the court as an official was a hostage in disguise. After all, the power of the family had reached its peak at that time.
Who is the emperor is decided by the noble family.
Almost all of the eleven emperors of the Eastern Jin Dynasty were puppets manipulated by aristocratic families.
I have been reading history books recently, and I feel that the writing style has become literary.
It should be better after the plot goes through in two days.
Now that I have just changed the map, I still have to introduce the background clearly to prevent the kids from getting confused
