.Ge Lao celebrated his decades of birthdays last year. In which era was it a real life. Mr. Xu, who had been waiting for his memorial service, began to doubt who would attend whom.
But no one can resist the erosion of life by time. Yan Ge is really old, his eyes are so blurred that he can't see the documents clearly. He trembles slightly when he lifts his pen. He has to help him walk and cannot take care of himself. Especially when it rains every day, his joints are swollen and painful, tossing and turning, unable to sleep all night.
Yesterday, the sun was still sunny during the day, but Master Yan still predicted based on his physical reaction: "It's going to change." Sure enough, at night, a gust of wind came, and the dark clouds came up and it started to rain.
Mr. Yan Ge was tortured and never slept all night. The wife, who was so ill that she couldn't sleep well, had to get up in the middle of the night and lie down in the study. Siding, the little maid from Jiangnan rubbed him all night. It was almost dawn and she had just fallen asleep.
Who knew that as soon as I fell asleep, I was awakened by a knock on the door.
"What's wrong?" Yan Song woke up from the sleeping towel and asked the maid to hold it up and said, "Is it bad for the wife?" His wife Ouyang started to bed since spring. The imperial physician said it was difficult to get rid of the disease, so he could only keep it, and it depends on the fate. So Yan Song was very worried that one day he woke up and would not see his wife again.
The voice of the old butler Yan Nian sounded outside: "Master, not a wife, but Eunuch Li in the palace." After hearing the first half of the sentence, Yan Song felt relieved, but after listening to the second half, he suddenly became nervous and said, "Which Eunuch Li?"
, it was Li Fang, General Manager Li." Yan Nian bent outside the door and replied in a low voice. When he said, "Eunuch Li, the three words, his tone was even gentle and gentle, and he was respectful. If you want to say that Yan Nian is a person, Youdao is the seventh rank official in front of the prime minister, let alone his Ding and the chief general of Yan's mansion, he has a great style in front of outsiders. And those officials who want to be promoted and relied on the Yan family compete to be charming, and they don't even dare to call him the name directly, but Mei called him, such as "Sir, even a high-ranking official like Shangshu Shushu is no exception. It is really sad and lamentable.
But this general manager still cannot compare with him when he sees the general manager. Li Fang is the seal of the Silijian. The old man around the emperor is on par with Yan Song. How dare he be a servant of the cabinet? These people who are tempted by the tendency to bully the weak and fear the strong. Therefore, when the name of General Manager Li is mentioned, Yan Nian's voice is gentle, as if it is not enough to show his respect.
When Yan Song heard that it was Li Fang who came, he woke up and quickly ordered someone to change clothes for himself. He thought quickly. Li Fang was the chief supervisor of the inner court and always stayed by the emperor. If Jiajing had an order, at most, he would let Chen Hong come and go, but he had never worked for his grandfather.
It was not dawn now, and Li Fang came. It was obviously waiting early in the morning and the palace gate came out. This was absolutely unreasonable. What was the matter that made him so anxious? The more Yan Song thought about it, the more he felt uneasy. He didn't even care about washing his face, so he rubbed his slight eyes and asked someone to help him come out to see Li Fang.
!Brother.”
The living room scarf of Yan Mansion. Li Fang held her hands behind her back and looked at a banner hanging on the wall. Looking at the square font, she knew that this was the proud work of Master Yan, saying:
, the world is full of trouble, and I am too lazy to hide myself. Plant bamboo and add a path to tame cranes, buy mountains and chat to study. Open the windows and the ancient trees dance, and the cold flowers are silent and fragrant. Don’t laugh at the wild people who have few livelihoods, and there are waves everywhere in washing tassels."
There are several lines of small words on the side of the poem, saying that because his grandfather and mother passed away one after another, he had to worry about the system, but after the period of observing the system, because the treacherous ministers and gentlemen avoided it, he stopped becoming an official on the grounds of raising trouble. In the autumn of the fourth year of Zhengde, he moved his family from Jieqiao Village to Fenyi County, and lived in the idle place at that time, and turned it into a study park, named it, Dongtang. He began to dig up the Boshan Mountain to read in secret. His life, this poem and another, Dongtang Xincheng II were made at that time, and used to commemorate and express his ambitions.
Such a good poem is sparse, scattered, calm, and natural. It is made of allusions and does not reveal traces. It shows elegance in the concise and at will. It makes people easily think of a noble character who is not able to associate with the powerful Yan Ge Lao.
In the fourth year of Zhengde, Li Fang thought in his mind that Yan Song was not yet thirty years old at that time. When he wrote this poem, he would not have thought that he would become like this, right? If Yan Song was born at that time, I wonder if he would have abandoned his official position and returned home again.
While shaking his head and sighing, he heard a heavy breathing sound, which sounded outside the door. Li Fang deliberately said loudly, "Good poems, good handwriting, good essays!"
Yan Song happened to enter the door, and when he heard this, he smiled and said, "I grumbled without any illness when I was young and doodled randomly. Now I just talk about it for aftertaste, which made Mr. Li laugh." It seems that he also knew that his current virtue was a thousand miles apart from that time.
Li Fang shook her head and said with emotion: "I heard that Master Ge is a master of poetry and calligraphy, but this is the first time I have seen him except for the Qing lyrics you have written. It turns out that a few decades ago, a Master Ge was only the only one in the female world. Ka Youtu Yan Song smiled brightly when he heard this: "Don't praise me anymore. If you praise me any more, I will fly to the grove." Although he smiled on his face, his nervous mood did not relieve at all. Because he knew very well that the general manager around Jiajing was visiting in the early morning, he was definitely not a person who appreciated his calligraphy, so he had been observing Li Fang's face carefully, hoping to find some good and bad luck through subtle changes.
Li Fang often waited by Jiajing, observing his expression and expression, and no one dared to recognize the best if he believed that he was the second in the world. Therefore, he knew the feelings of Master Yan Ge, but he was very happy when it came to the powerful Master Yan Ge, who was full of power, was full of doubts and nervous appearance. He didn't know what his mind was, but he pretended not to understand, but just kept talking about poetry and words.
Yan Song had been dealing with it with all his heart at first, but in the end he couldn't hold back. He smiled bitterly and asked:
"If my father-in-law likes it, I will give you this letter. I just want you not to keep it in hiding. If we have something to do, can we just say something?"
Li Fang couldn't go down again. He smiled slightly when he heard this and said, "I'm going to tell you that the emperor has a handwritten edict. Please take a look at it." He said, "It's just that the wording is a bit stern. We are afraid that you will be unhappy, so we haven't taken it out for a long time."
As soon as this said, Yan Song's heart was in chaos and he smiled and said with a forced smile: "Look at what you said, I have served the emperor for decades and have been scolded several times, so I still have this tolerance."
...That's good, that's all." Li Fang took out Jiajing's edict from his arms and handed it to Yan Song. Yan Song took it respectfully, put on reading glasses, squinted his eyes and looked at it. He saw that every word was as big as a fight. That was because Emperor Jiajing knew that his eyes were blurred, so he wrote it out in a special way. But the strokes and strokes, the silver hook and iron strokes "have no longer the fairy spirit he used to be, but instead exuded anger that was unstoppable.
The hand edict read, "Your family is only quiet and quiet. However, the father and son of the Qing family are brave enough to regard the great affairs of the court as a joke. How dare you turn the grand ceremony of the couplet into a hall where your family can make money? I can't bear this matter? I heard it and felt indignant, and my worries were difficult to resolve, which caused old diseases, and my expression was unhappy, and my energy accumulated into ignorance! My family wanted to be quiet, but the Yin Qi was not mountainous, so how could the evil wind stop the evil wind? How could the Yin Qi San Qing family relieve the worries of the couplet? If you can't figure it out, don't come to see the fat!"
This rebuke made Master Yan confused, especially those harsh questions, which made him even more frightened. His hands holding the edict trembled. His already haggard face became paler, and beads of sweat were dripping down. Li Fang knew that this unprecedented harsh rebuke made Old Yan Song’s inch confused. But he pretended not to know, and whisked the whisk on his arms, stood up and smiled and said, “Since the Holy One” has been delivered, our family’s errand has been done, so we will go back to the palace to report our lives.” After saying that, he was about to quit.
"Please wait, father-in-law." Yan Song came to his senses. He knew that the emperor's thunderous anger had to be interpreted by Li Fang, or even resolved it. How could he let him leave like this? He hurriedly tried to keep him:
"The kitchen has prepared a meal. My father-in-law has come so early, so he must have not eaten it. It's not too late to leave after using it." As he said that, he grabbed Li Fang's wrist and refused to let go.
Li Fang had no choice but to follow him to the dining room next door and sacrifice to the Wudian Temple first.
Come on, try the rice noodles and wilted meat from our hometown. "Although more than a dozen meals have been served, Yan Song still greeted enthusiastically: "And this Ding and this Sauce are all made by the chefs in my hometown. Eunuch Li should use it more."
Li Fang ate half of the sauce in the plate, and smiled bitterly with her eyes wide open, "I can't eat it anymore, I can't eat it anymore, my stomach will bloated." As she said that, she wiped the corners of her mouth with a napkin and said, "Master Ge, just say something, our family is so nervous for you."
Seeing that his thoughts were being told, Yan Song smiled embarrassedly and said, "Okay, I will only say it." As he said that, he lowered his voice and bowed, "My father-in-law, can you serve me when the emperor writes this sage?"
, That’s it.” Li Fang paused and nodded slowly, “The elder brother looked at our family and his eyes were red.” Although he didn’t say it clearly, he obviously admitted it.
"That's great." Yan Song stood up, gave Li Fang a deep bow, begged:
"I dare to ask my father-in-law why the emperor made this edict, what did he say at that time and how he was in his mood. Please inform me. I am very grateful."
"What are you talking about by Ge?" Li Fang heard this, the smile on her face suddenly turned away, and she said with a serious look, "Taizu has already decided on the iron rule. Eunuchs are not allowed to interfere in politics, and all violators will be killed. Do you want my marriage?"
Yan Song laughed in his heart and said, "I don't know what Wang Zhenx and Liu Jin do? Even you, an old dog, have been making trouble and making trouble in secret. What kind of good deeds are you selling to me at this time?" But he said earnestly: "Heaven knows this, the earth knows it, you just treat it as a helping old friend, I will never forget it!" As he said that, Yan Nian came in from outside, presented a thick envelope, put it on the table, and left tactfully.
Yan Song pushed the big envelope to Li Fang and said with a smile: "My father-in-law serves the emperor day and night, and he has worked so hard. I don't respect this little thing, so please accept it with a smile."
Li Fang picked up the envelope and listened to it. He saw that the other 1000 taels of denomination x did not recognize the person. "I just put on a basket and sealed the envelope again, and returned the original item: "The master is very kind, and our family is flattered; but our family is alone, and we eat and live in the palace, so we don't need money."
"Oh, my father-in-law has given me this sentence." Yan Song shook his head and said, "No one dares to say what the situation will happen in the future. You should be prepared for any trouble." It's really a naked instigation to commit crimes.
"What the Master said is reasonable." Li Fang seemed to be doing good, and said for a while, "But our family will not receive any rewards without any merits, so how dare we eat and take it? That's so funny!"
Yan Song said in his heart, "I'm just waiting for your words!" He released his feelings that had been brewing, his expression became more and more sad. In a blink of an eye, he was crying and clasped his fists, bowed and begged hard:
"Please help me, please help me..."
"Oh, what are you doing?" Li Fang quickly stood up and said politely, "Do you want to kill the old slave?"
"My father-in-law doesn't agree, I'll fry it, I'm the sky." Yan Song said, and actually held the edge of the table and slowly knelt down to the ground, saying, "I'll kneel down for you!"
To be honest, Hengfang really wanted to be his knees, but he also knew that if that was the case, Yan Song would definitely take revenge on him in the future, so he could only hold him up with regret and sighed:
"Oh, Master of the Lord treats me like this. I'm trying to avoid this life, and I have to help you."
"Thank you, thank you." Yan Song smiled with tears on his face, and sat back on his chair, saying, "Dad father-in-law, what's going on? Who touched His Majesty's heart?"
Seeing his quick look, Li Fangcan said, "They are just acting and never thought of kneeling for him." He couldn't help but sneer. Finally, he knew that Jiang is still old! This eighty-year-old is shameless than his sixty-year-old.
No matter how much I think about it, I still have to say it. In fact, these things cannot be hidden from others. I don’t know how many eunuchs of the palace collect money and became the eyewitness of foreign ministers. Yesterday, the emperor did not clear the scene, and it will soon spread. Li Fang knew that Yan Song was suddenly scolded and was in chaos, so he was in a hurry to seek medical treatment with him, so it would be better to sell favors to avoid offending this giant crocodile.
He told Master Yan Ge that he had born yesterday. Of course, he would add light dye and add fuel to the fire according to his needs; or he would make light words and vaguely comment, but finally let Yan Song know what happened.
After hearing this, Yan Song was sweating again and denied repeatedly: "I dare to treat Tianwan, and I will never know about this matter, and I will definitely not have the courage to manipulate the imperial court's talent ritual!"
"Of course we believe in the Master of Ge." Li Fang smiled and said, "But you don't know your temper. You are so strong in your opinion. Our family dare not say good things to you rashly, so as not to get darker the more you describe it."
"That's it, that's it." Yan Song nodded and said repeatedly, "I still know the temper that has been frustrated." He bowed and said, "My father-in-law, how should I deal with it?"
“See it according to me.
"Li Fang said: "You have to find out this matter first. Your Majesty cannot go there for the time being. After a while, we will see you again. When you go and talk to Your Majesty, borrow the misunderstanding. The best way to go." He smiled and said: "Of course, what our family said is not accurate, and the idea must be taken by the Master." As he said that, he put the envelope into his sleeve without any trace, stood up and bowed and smiled: "It's not a good time to be free. The incident that happened in our family is not short, so we can't frame it anymore."
Yan Song had already achieved his goal, so he naturally stopped keeping him. He held the table and slowly stood up and said, "I'm going to see you off for my father-in-law."
"Please stay, don't." Li Fang quickly stopped him and said, "I'll just go by myself." But Yan Song still sent him to the hanging flower gate, watched him disappear in the front yard, then he turned around with his wall, and looked at the withered trees in the yard.
But after standing for a while, he felt weak and dizzy. The old butler Yan Nian came over quickly, supported him, and whispered: "Master, let's go back to the house and rest."
Yan Song sighed helplessly, "I'm old, really old." So he bent down and with Yan Nian's support, he entered the house. He first went to see his wife, talked with her for a while, then returned to the study, lay down on the usual recliner, closed his eyes and kept his mind for a while.
Just when the servants thought he was asleep and wanted to quietly withdraw, they heard Master Yan slowly say, "Has Yan Shifan risen?"
"This, probably, it's not enough to kill." Yan Nian whispered.
"It's been so late, I'm still hanging on the bed." Yan Song snorted, "Call him here as soon as possible!"
