Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 992

The winter months of the lunar calendar in the Guanzhong area of ​​later generations were already frozen, but Guanzhong in the Tang Dynasty was obviously warmer and more humid than later generations.The winter moon is already halfway through, and only in the early morning will a thin layer of ice form on the surface of the small river with gentle flow, which will melt when the sun comes out.As for the rivers with abundant water such as the Yellow River, Weihe River and Jinghe River, there is no sign of freezing.

From ancient times to the present, the climate in China has generally been a curve from warm to cold and then gradually warming up.According to some studies, the climate was warm and humid during the Sui and Tang dynasties, which dropped to the lowest point in the Ming Dynasty, and gradually warmed again in the Qing Dynasty.

For the farming nations with low productivity in ancient times, climate change meant the suffering of people's livelihood and the change of dynasties.

The first day of the twelfth lunar month, the first moment of Yin time.

The main house of the Fang family farm is full of lights, and the servants come in and out to prepare early hot water for court clothes and official boots. Today is the last court meeting in the 14th year of Zhenguan, and the father and son of the family are about to go to court.

The servants and maids get up early at any time to get ready, but they walk briskly and look excited.

Counting the halls of the Great Tang Dynasty, there are countless high-ranking nobles, but how many people can have the honor of father and son in the same hall?Not to mention the powerful family whose father worships the prime minister and is in charge of the court, and whose son is named Marquis and Jinjue, who is about to rule the country!

If the master humiliates his ministers to death, the master will be honored and all will be honored.

Wouldn't it be more leisurely and comfortable to be a slave in this kind of family that is both noble and powerful, but also generous and righteous, than those ordinary people who are struggling in poverty?You must know that in Fang's family, even the children of servants and servants can still study.Not only can you read it, but you can’t do it if you don’t want to!
These days, being able to read books means being promising. If you can read the Four Books and Five Classics once, you will basically lose a county official history!

Therefore, the servants and maidservants of the Fang family are very high-spirited...

The candles were brightly lit in the main hall, Fang Xuanling put on the official robe and sat on the grand teacher's chair drinking tea, squinting at Fang Jun, feeling even worse.

It's just the last court, is it marriage?

Wife Lu Shi, daughter-in-law Princess Gaoyang, Wu Meiniang, and four personal maids... all formed a circle. This one straightened the collar and the other stretched the corner of the robe, while the little bastard sat lazily, and a maid served tea. Into the mouth, a maid kneels before boots...

What the hell, it's bigger than Lao Tzu's spectrum, and still has enough momentum!

Fang Xuanling felt a strong sense of loss, could it be that the family is about to change, and she is no longer the head of the family?

I'm not dead yet!

"Ahem! Well, take a step ahead for the father, and you will follow later."

Fang Xuanling got up with a cold face, said something lightly, and walked out of the main hall with his hands behind his back.When I arrived at the door, I remembered something again, stood still, turned around and told Fang Jun, "Don't take a carriage, keep a low profile. Now Chang'an City's reputation for you is extremely bad, so try not to tell the truth. Well, just ride a horse, it seems Spirit."

After all, go out the door.

A servant drove the four-wheeled carriage over, Fang Xuanling flipped up his robe and got into the carriage, and walked out of the gate with the sound of the horse's hooves.

In the room, Fang Jun is inexplicable...

Damn it, you won't let me ride in a carriage this winter, so why don't you ride a horse?
Even playing low-key is not such a low-key way!

Princess Gao Yang hesitated to speak, her face was a little unsightly.In this cold day, isn't it a crime to ride a horse towards that place?Even those military generals with serious military backgrounds will ride in a carriage...

He pursed his lips, but said nothing.

Fang Xuanling spoke, so what about her daughter-in-law?
Wu Meiniang is also a little worried, even if she is as smart as she is, she can't understand the connection between riding a horse and being low-key when she twists Xiumei into a ball?
How did she know that Fang Xuanling was just a little jealous and wanted to make things up for her son...

Lu muttered: "This old man, why is he insane for no reason?"

But after all, they didn't dare to ignore Fang Xuanling's words, a room full of women hurriedly ordered the maids to find out the fur cloaks, and hurriedly put them on for Fang Jun.Fang Jun moved a bit, he was as bloated as a brown bear, he couldn't laugh or cry.

When he went out the door and was blown by the cold wind, he immediately shivered, and his dissatisfaction with the thick clothes disappeared immediately.It's not his style to want demeanor but not temperature. He has already reached the level of ignoring the appearance and paying attention to the soul.

Get on the horse, lead several family members to ride the horse out of the village, and go straight down the mountain along the flat concrete road.The mountain wind was icy cold, and when Fang Jun blew it head-on, the muscles on Fang Jun's face almost froze from the cold, and he couldn't help but complain in his heart.

After a while, he caught up with Fang Xuanling's carriage.

Fang Jun slowed down his horse, moved to the side of the car and said loudly, "Father, how about taking your son for a ride?"

Fang Xuanling raised the curtain of the car, with a displeased expression on his face: "Didn't you hear what you said about being a father?"

Fang Jun was really cold enough, so he said shyly, "Why didn't you hear that? But there are few officials passing by on this road, why doesn't the father let his son ride in a car, and then get out of the car and ride a horse when he reaches Chang'an City? Dad, it's really cold ..."

He spoke pitifully, but Fang Xuanling was not moved at all, and scolded coldly: "You can't bear any hardship at such a young age, you have neither toughness nor tolerance, you are impatient and greedy for pleasure, how can you become a big event?" ?”

After saying that, he put down the car curtain and ignored Fang Jun again.

Fang Jun is so angry, is this father real?
I had no choice but to ride my horse and gallop all the way on the dark street in the early morning... I can't go too slowly, the slower I go, the colder it gets.

Since today is the last grand meeting of the year, many officials living outside the city and from Xianyang, Lantian, Sanyuan and other counties all entered Beijing, so the gates around Chang'an City were opened early, but people still had to be checked.

There was no one outside the Chunming Gate, Fang Jun endured the cold wind blowing in his face and came all the way to the city gate. Several soldiers guarding the city were trembling and nestling together in the lee of the city wall to keep warm. The knight came roaring, and was about to stand up and stop the investigation.

The older veteran's eyes were particularly good. He glanced at it from a distance, and then shrank back after moving a little bit. He continued to eat half of the bun in his hand. The pile of hay nest under his buttocks had just warmed up. Came back and it was cold again.Why did that fellow Fang Jun stop him? Didn't he see his nose dripping from the cold?You must be in an extremely unhappy mood, and if you are unhappy with yourself, you have to make others unhappy.Hmph, that brat just joined the army because of his family background, it's like climbing on top of my father, he doesn't even look at his own virtue, he doesn't have any vision at all, just wait to be beaten...

The young soldiers who relied on their relatives to work in the county government stood in front of the city gate and shouted: "Stop! Check!"

Full of momentum!

Even though the gate of the city is an inconspicuous place, being a gatekeeper would be ordered around by the rich and powerful all day long, but this job is fat!Today's court meeting, all the officials entering the city ride in horse-drawn carriages, who is out of their minds to ride horses?Seeing that this group of people are either lowly merchants or foreigners visiting relatives, mother, this tossing grandpa in the cold weather must be blackmailed!
Standing at the gate of the city and waiting for the group of knights to stop for inspection, the young soldier glanced back at the old soldier squatting at the base of the wall with disdain, and spat.what!As a gatekeeper like you, you will be poor all your life, and you don't know what kind of person to blackmail you if you want to make money. What's the point?
With the sound of hoofbeats in the ear, the expression on the young soldier's face changed from arrogance to surprise, from surprise to fear!
The entire team of knights came roaring from a distance like thunder, their iron hooves trampled on the frost and mud on the ground, and their horses spouted white gas.

And he is like a small gravel, about to be crushed by a horseshoe as big as a bowl...

Just as the knight was galloping in front of him without slowing down, even the two round eyes of the healthy horse could see clearly. Only then did the young soldier come to his senses, with a voice of "Aw", a lazy donkey rolled The child avoids to the side.

The healthy horse roared past the place where he had just stood, and headed straight into the city.

A domineering curse came from the wind: "I'm almost freezing to death, why can't you see it?"

The young soldier was so frightened that his heart was beating endlessly, he was sweating profusely, and he felt a wave of fear in his heart.How arrogant!If he didn't hide just now, wouldn't he be a rotten corpse trampled by horseshoes?

Isn't this a disregard for human life?

Or do you frankly not treat me as a human being at all?

Regardless of the reason, the young soldiers said it was unacceptable.
