New Shun 1730

With the wine in his stomach, he accepted his fate and accepted his new identity.

As long as you, noble disciples, do not seek death, you will be safe and worry-free in this life. After thinking about it, Liu Yu came up with two words... boring.

Is this starting point a bit too high? Apart from members of the royal family, the only person with a higher status than his own family is the Gao family.

After Gao Yigong passed the throne to Li Laiheng, Gao Jiaxiao went to the Mu family and settled in Yunnan and Guizhou forever. He changed his native land and returned to his hometown, and was granted the title of king with a different surname.

In the future, if Dashunruo is dead, he will be admitted to the "Aristocratic Family" when compiling history. That cannot be compared. There are only a few Danshu Tieguan Dukes in the Dashun Dynasty who hold the title of "Founding the Nation".

How do you spend such a boring day? Yesterday I was still wondering if this month's salary would be enough, but today it's boring to the core?

When I was thinking about how to spend this boring life in the future, I heard a rush of footsteps outside.

The door was pushed open, and a boy in black clothes, about sixteen or seventeen years old, ran in.

"Oh, I found you, Third Master. Go back quickly. The Duke asked me to come look for you. It's urgent."

Liu Yu had no memory and recognized that this was his personal servant, so he gave him a strange name of "Steamed Bun". He has studied with him and been his companion, and he is his confidant.

It’s a new arrival, but I still remember the rules.

When it comes to identity, Mantou is a servant and he is his master, but what Mantou came to tell him was his father's words. Liu Yu quickly put down his wine glass, stood up, and respectfully replied "Yes" to the boy.

This "yes" was in reply to his father's message. Even though Mantou was a servant, he could bear it, let alone avoid it.

Everyone in the capital knew that Duke Yi was very strict in running his family, and his feudal etiquette was not messed up at all.

This has been Liu Yu's habit since he was a child in the big dyeing vat of the Duke's Mansion. It has become a natural habit. The etiquette under the patriarchal ethics is so strict and complicated that there is no mistake.

After finishing this sentence, he resumed his status as master and servant. Mantou leaned forward and waited for Liu Yu to ask questions.

"You're so anxious, what's going on?"

Liu Yu is not in a hurry. The food in this winery is no better than the chef in the prince's mansion, but it is much higher than what he often ate in his previous life. The glass of rice wine he drank just now is also quite good. In his previous life, he was a lively person. He had just adapted to his new identity and was preparing to have sex and drink with these noble disciples, but he didn't take it seriously.

Mantou is also a clever man. He has been following Liu Yu for a long time, and he dares to say some things that others dare not say.

Seeing that Liu Yu was still smiling, he said: "My third master, do you still have the heart to smile? The Duke of Guo is in a hurry, there must be something big. As soon as the court meeting ended, the Duke of Guo asked me to come look for him as soon as possible. . For the sake of Third Master, I have been with Third Master for so long, so please go back quickly. Otherwise, I will give you a scolding. "

Hearing Mantou's urgency, Liu Yu couldn't help but feel a little thump in his heart. He sent people to look for him right after the court meeting. Is something serious going on?

Now that life feels boring, is it possible that I want to feel the warmth and warmth of life? Isn't it the script of the story of the young master in Dream of Red Mansions who suddenly undergoes a big change and has his house confiscated?

Those who were drinking together hurriedly advised: "Since the prince is looking for you, then go back quickly. We can have fun here. If we have time, we can come back later."

A meal is not worth a lot of money. When a dandy like Liu Yu goes out, a servant has already arranged to pay for it.

Thinking of that ominous possibility, Liu Yu lost his mood and had no choice but to cup his hands and say to everyone, "Then I'll leave first."

As soon as I stepped out of the Quanliu Residence, the heat wave outside mixed with the sound of people came over me like a sea wave.

This is located in the northwest corner of the Forbidden City and has been a prosperous place since ancient times. Next to it is the Dalong Shanhu Guo Temple. Emperor Zhengde of the Ming Dynasty liked to add a vest to himself. He was a state-governor and a mighty general. After studying Buddhism for a long time, he took the title of "Daqing Dharma King" and protected Dalong Shanhu. National Temple.

Now after several repairs, in order to win over the Mongolians who believe in the Yellow Sect, the emperor of the current dynasty also gave himself the title of a certain Dharma King, and his Dharma body is also in this temple to protect the country.

In addition, today is the eighth day of July, which is the time for the temple fair, and it is really crowded. Coupled with the heat wave of autumn tiger, I can't wait to knock people over.

The boys who had accompanied Liu Yulai before had all gone to the temple fair to play. They couldn't find anyone for a while, and Mantou yelled and cursed: "I know that I'm just a good guy who goes out to wander..."

After saying that, he went to the Ma Shi to fetch a big black mule, and helped Liu Yu get on the mule, while Mantou himself rode a tall horse.

There is a saying that Liu Yu, the dignified duke's legitimate son, could only ride a mule instead of a horse at the foot of the imperial city. If someone who knows the goods sees it and knows that such a walking mule can be replaced by seven or eight horses, it will be no problem.

Such mules must be selected from the moment they are born and have strong physiques. When they grow up a little, they must be trained.

The mule must be able to pass the test if its hind hooves follow the imprints of its front hooves and it walks as steadily as a boat on steady water without any bumps.

Walking like a woman's steps, riding like a famous man's chariot, without the bumps of fierce horses, without the stagnation of boats and carts, this can be called a walking mule. The difficulty of raising it is unique.

At the foot of the imperial city, if you are careless after drinking and run wildly on horseback, you will be in trouble if you read a book of ginseng.

This walking mule is the most stable. Even if it is beaten, it is difficult to run, and it will not hurt anyone.

Liu Yu's cheap dad was born in the year of the tortoise. He was afraid of making the slightest mistake. He said all day long that a noble family was most afraid of their descendants getting into trouble. If the servant let his master ride a horse in the imperial city, his legs would be broken.

Riding on the mule, Liu Yu had a rough impression of his cheap dad.

It's just that he is a hereditary duke, so why should he be so cautious?

Since he was so cautious, it shouldn't be like what he thought, that he would have to enjoy a "unpredictable world, sudden changes" script after crossing over?

Thinking of this, he felt relaxed, blinking his eyes and looking at the scenery around him. He thought that even if something big happened at home, it would be worth it to see this ancient scenery.

Whatever!

In the distance, several people were singing lotus flowers at the entrance of the temple fair. When they sang, they sang more and more.

"Emperor Yang of Sui was ruthless and cruel. He killed his father and seized power unfairly. He bullied his mother and played with his sister, destroying ethics. He poisoned his brother and plotted against his sister-in-law and threw away the moral principles..."

There were many people around, but they were all white-scooped gangs. They were watching the fun, but when they wanted to pay, they all dispersed, or urged to come again.

People selling cigarette holders, sharpening scissors and kitchen knives, and performing tricks to make sugar figures... The noisy crowd was so crowded that it was impossible to get through.

Fortunately, after passing Longshan Temple, there were fewer people. An old locust tree planted by eunuch Sanbao himself casts a large shade at the intersection. This street is Sanbao Laodie Hutong, the former residence of eunuch Sanbao during the Yongle period of the previous dynasty.

After the old locust tree, it is the former dynasty's Jiangjiangfang laundry bureau, where Wei Gonggong's wife Keshi died. It is said that this place is very yin, and there are not many people on weekdays.

Since it is the location of the former dynasty's Jiangjiangfang laundry bureau, it must be close to water. Next to it is Shichahai, and further north is Jishuitan.

Liu Yu's home, the Yiguogong Mansion built by the order of the Dashun Dynasty, is next to Jishuitan, which is considered the best mansion of the duke in the capital.

After all, the capital lacks water, and there is no way to build a large garden unless it is near Jishuitan.

It was originally the mansion garden of Xu Yunzhen, the former Dingguogong. After Dashun entered the capital, Xu Yunzhen was tortured to death. Later, when the capital was recovered and the world was settled, Li Laiheng gave this place to Liu Yu's ancestor Liu Tichun and ordered the construction of Yiguogong Mansion.

Because Liu Tichun was Zhang Xianzhong's sworn brother, Sun Kewang, Li Dingguo, Ai Nengqi and others all called him second uncle.

In the end, the southwest was recruited, Yunnan and Guizhou were not hurt, and the King of Jin was not sad and the King of Qin was not rebellious, which was also Liu Tichun's great achievement.

Therefore, the water of the Imperial River was specially allowed to flow around the mansion garden, which was really a great honor. The Yiguogong Mansion was built magnificently and occupied a large area.

The mule under his crotch actually knew the way. Seeing that he was about to get home, his hooves were a little faster than before. Liu Yu, who was riding a mule, couldn't help sighing, thinking that it was a blessing or a disaster.

You can already see the gate of your own house from here. From a long distance, you can see the clean huge stone lion.

The three-room vermilion gate was lined up on both sides with eighteen gorgeously dressed doormen.

The animal-faced tin ring with gold lacquer shows the status of a duke, and it also reminds Liu Yu that Dashun is a feudal dynasty after all, and it still follows the rules of etiquette and law.

The soup is different, but the medicine is not.

Red doors, gold lacquer, eighteen doors, three big doors... It's not just about having money. If you don't have the status of a duke, you can get three big red doors with gold lacquer animal rings, which is a usurpation. If you don't deserve death, you will be exiled to the Songhua River to guard the border.

And above the red doors and gold lacquer, there is the emperor, who is the most terrifying existence.

In such a big capital, except for the Forbidden City, which uses bright yellow glazed tiles, the rest of the houses are blue-gray tiles, in order to show wealth and solemnity, and use the entire capital as a green leaf.

Liu Yu has not yet adapted to the life of sitting on the seat of a duke, and his stomach is still full of resentment brought by what he learned and thought in his previous life. He has completely forgotten that his current identity is no longer a green leaf.

The Duke family, even if they are not the most elite core, are always qualified to be a petal to protect the core.

His butt has not sat "right" yet, and he is full of dissatisfaction that the rich are living in luxury and the poor are freezing to death on the road.

Thinking about these unhappy things caused by the separation of the head and buttocks, he entered the mansion from the corner gate, and a servant had already come to take the mule away to feed and wash it.

Mantou stuck to Liu Yu and whispered: "Third Master, the Duke is in the outer study. Whether it is a blessing or a curse, if there is a result, tell me as soon as possible, so that I don't have to worry."

Following Mantou's gaze, what came into view was an open space about 20 to 30 feet long and wide.

Further ahead was a ceremonial gate, which was originally named Huanmen. Later, in order to avoid the taboo of Zhao Huan, the emperor of Song Qinzong, Huanmen was changed to Yimen, taking the sentence in Zuo Zhuan: "If there is power and it can be feared, it is called power, and if there is ceremony and it can be imagined, it is called ceremony."

Yimen is the door of etiquette. Outsiders must stop here, tidy up their clothes, and straighten their clothes before they can enter.

The outer study is between the ceremonial gate and the main gate. On weekdays, it is where his father meets low-level guests, staff and guests. It is impossible to put it behind the ceremonial gate where there are female relatives.

This open space of more than 20 meters has the family ancestral hall on the east and the outer study on the west.

Some flowers and plants are planted on both sides of the open space, which are well taken care of.

In the early cool season, the autumn flowers are blooming, reflecting a path paved with fine pebbles. Several maids are standing at the door of the outer study. When they saw Liu Yu, they hurried over and led Liu Yu to the outer study.

The moment he pushed the door, Liu Yu took a deep breath and said to himself...whatever.
