The sky had already brightened, the sunrise rose to the east, the light was warm, it was the most comfortable time of the day, not yet to hot. The warm sunlight tilted on the red bricks and green tiles of the West Chang’an Street, especially favoured the flying eaves of the pavilions, adding poetry and nobility to the West Chang’an Street under the sunlight.
At the head of West Chang’an Street, from the direction of the West Garden, a large sedan chair carried by eight people was slowly coming.
The drapery covered sedan chair, ancient and heavy, atmospheric and introverted, on both sides of the sedan chair there were attendant maids, and guards who accompanied with swords.
Throughout the capital, there are only a handful of people who are qualified to use the eight-carried sedan chair, and the scope is narrowed down to this West Chang’an Street, and the answer is calling out.
“The Sangha is back.”
“It’s Lord Yan who has returned.”
“Courtier Yan, it’s really Courtier Yan’s palanquin.”
The people who were lining up in front of the Yan Mansion’s gate to drop off their obeisances immediately shifted their attention to the palanquin slowly coming from the opposite side and shouted excitedly.
The great official Yan Nian on the one hand commanded his subordinates to maintain the order of the queue, arranging the queue against the corners of the wall, leaving the space at the doorway empty, making it convenient for Yan Song’s palanquin to enter the mansion; on the other hand, he asked the concierge to pass on the news of the master’s return to the mansion, and Yan Nian himself jogged to the front to welcome Yan Song.
“Master, you are back ……”
Yan Nian lifted the front hem and jogged all the way to the front of the sedan chair, stood still and bent over to welcome Yan Song back to the mansion.
“Hmm.”Sedan chair Yan Song gently hmmm a sound, spirit is not good, some sleepy, he is old, yesterday afternoon into the offering of the green word has been left in the West Garden waiting for the decree, until the early hours of the morning after waiting for the saint to pass the note. This time is after midnight, the West Garden lock key, outside the night ban, the people can not go back to the house, can only rest in the value of the hut. The value of the hut is relatively simple, compared with the Yan House is far worse, Yan Song almost did not sleep, for his age, really enough to suffer, so the spirit is not good.
In addition, I did not expect to wait until the end, but it is the green words of Xu step in the jackpot. Although xu step these days very meek, and with their close, but still some loss.
Donglou’s piece of lyrics, they are very good, than Yuan Wei’s piece is much better, originally thought it would be favoured by the emperor. It is a pity that the phrase “turn a tiger into a dragon, return to heaven” is too spiritual.
This old boy Xu step luck, the main examination met a good seed, the spirit of the word, not weaker than Yuan Wei, is a potential talent.
Of course, young people, some angles, the newborn calf does not know the sky and the earth, knock knock, give him a few bitter, will be able to distinguish the situation ……Young people, not afraid of angular, afraid of no talent.
Xu step is a very good example of it, when it is not also angular well, after polishing a few times, now hold in the hand, is not also not cackle hand it.
Yan Song sat in the sedan chair, thought of the performance of xu step these days, satisfied nodded.
“Quickly, open the gate, let the master return to the house. Order the back kitchen to prepare ginseng soup ……”Hearing the fatigue between Yan Song’s tone, Yan Nian hurriedly jogged to open the way, commanded the guards on duty to hurry up and open the gates, followed by commanding the concierge to let the back kitchen prepare the ginseng soup.
Soon, Yan Song’s palanquin arrived in front of the gate.
“My humble servant greets Lord Yan.”
“My subordinates pay their respects to Pavilion Master Yan. ……”
The people who lined up at the gate to cast their obeisance, at this time, all of them performed the salute of worship to Yan Song’s palanquin.
“His Lordship has been tired all night, let His Lordship return to the house first.”Yan Nian stopped the saluting crowd and reprimanded the guards on duty to maintain order.
“Stop.”
Yan Song’s voice came from the sedan chair.
Then the palanquin stopped in front of the crowd, and the maid waiting outside the palanquin lifted the curtain of the palanquin, revealing Yan Song’s figure.
“Yan Nian!”
Yan Song called Yan Nian to the front of the palanquin and educated unhappily, “A visitor from afar is a guest, these are all guests of our Yan Mansion. Is this how you treat our Yan Mansion’s honoured guests?”
“Master, you’ve been busy all night ……”Yan Nian explained.
“Alright, go and ask the back kitchen to prepare more tea soup to relieve the summer heat, bring it out and moisten the guests’ throats.”Yan Song waved his hand, stopping Yan Nian and ordering to have the mansion serve tea soup to relieve the summer heat to the crowd in the queue.
“Too touched, Your Excellency Yan is in a high official position, yet he is still so approachable, thinking of us in every way ……”
“We are willing to serve and die for Your Excellency.”
“Courteous and approachable, Lord Yan truly loves the people like a son ……”
One by one, the queuing crowds vied with each other to express their touched, grateful feelings towards Yan Song, all of them rich in emotion.
“All of you are here, I am very happy. Compared to all of you, I have no other length, but my teeth age in vain. Now my Ming on the British Lord, under the gentleman, singing and dancing, the country and the people in peace, really is a hundred years of a rare good time. You must not let down the opportunity, when you need to work hard, I believe that there will be a bright future. Old man is old, in the future I have to look at you young people.”
After commanding, Yan Song again nodded towards the queue of people, exhorting, like a kind and responsible elder in the family.
“Many thanks, Ta-Jen Yan.”
“Many thanks to Lord Yan for giving words ……”
“Lord Yan is well-intentioned ah, he has really worried for us.”
“Lord Yan is old and strong, he has been working from morning to night, dealing with political affairs day and night, we admire him, Lord Yan quickly return to his residence to rest.”
Under the excitement of the crowd at the bottom, another burst of moving.
Looking at the crowd’s reaction, Yan Song nodded his head in satisfaction, and exhorted a few more sentences before returning to sit in the sedan chair, nodding to the attendant outside the sedan chair.
“Return to the mansion.”The attendant understood.
The sedan chair was re-lifted and headed towards the gate of Yan Mansion.
Yan Song sat inside the sedan chair and opened the curtains of the sedan chair, nodded to the crowd in the queue, and said goodbye to the crowd’s eyes.
Just as Yan Song put down the curtains, he was suddenly attracted by a piece of hard paper outside the sedan chair, to be precise, he was attracted by the words on the paper.
Bone marrow hole up to, sound; Vast and righteous, strong and powerful.
Viewing, that word is like a cloud sail riding the wind and waves, seems to break free from the back of the paper, whistling out of the same.
What attracts Yan Song’s eyes most is that there seems to be a little shadow of his own calligraphy in this font as if …….
“Yan Nian, bring that paper over.”
Yan Song lifted the curtain, pointed to the piece of paper on the ground, and commanded Yan Nian outside the sedan chair.
Paper?
What paper?
Yan Nian froze, then turned his head to follow Yan Song’s gaze, then his eyes collapsed and stared out, his brain buzzed for a moment as if he had been pricked by a needle, completely stunned, the whole person was as dumb as a fool, with his mouth open, trembling, “No ……Not ……”
The breeze blew
The piece of paper on the ground swayed gently
It is like mocking himself.
Yan Nian was dumbfounded, couldn’t believe his eyes, and a layer of inexplicable fear floated up in his heart
