Sui Dynasty: I, Yang Guang, am both scrupulous and stable

Chapter 25 Women hold up half the sky

The riverside in the early morning was very humid and dew was dripping. Yang Guang was called up early in the morning. The queen arranged an activity for a group of young men to catch fish.

Of course, you don’t actually go down to the river to catch fish, but you prepare the fish and let the men go down to the mud pit to catch them, and let the women see the physical fitness of the men. After all, Queen Dugu has been there and knows how good the physical fitness is. importance.

But this is a conservative era, so you can't watch it shirtless. Wrestling competitions can be seen more directly, but everyone is a noble, and it is not good to hurt feelings. If you go hunting into the forest, women will not see it realistically. , so Queen Dugu came up with the idea of ​​catching fish.

The fish were all big fish, so they were caught in advance and put into the mud pit. Yang Guang lamented that the environment in this era is good and the fish are also big.

Queen Dugu said: "This time I put a fish with a red rope hanging among the fish. Whoever catches the fish will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver."

Yang Guang and others did not go into the water, because they were princes and princes, and they showed off their status to the group of men of the right age.

Following Queen Dugu's order, everyone jumped into the water one after another. The atmosphere was so joyful. Everyone was watching. Queen Dugu sat down and drank tea.

Yang Guang came to Queen Dugu and asked, "Mother, did you hear that Mrs. Old Duke of Tang is ill?"

Queen Dugu lamented: "Hey, my sister has a hard life. She gave birth to children for the Duke of Tang. However, the Duke of Tang spoiled his concubines and destroyed his wife. My sister lost her favor when she grew old and lost her beauty. After the death of the Duke of Tang, she had to endure all kinds of hardships to bring her up. The first three of the four sons were all sick, and the third son died young. Now Tang Guogong Li Cheng and the second son Li Zhan are both sick, and the fourth son Li Yuan is mediocre and stupid. Poor, poor."

Is Li Yuan mediocre and stupid?

Yang Guang couldn't believe what Queen Dugu said. Li Yuan was not a mediocre and stupid person. So, could this kid be hiding his clumsiness?
"Mother, when you get back, I'll go see Old Duke Tang's wife on your behalf."

Queen Dugu was a little surprised that Yang Guang would say something like this: "She has been infected with a strange disease recently. You should not go there for fear of spreading it to others."

"I heard that my mother has sent someone to find a miracle doctor."

"Well, let's wait until Dr. Sun arrives and takes a look before talking."

"When will it arrive?"

"There is already news. He will enter Beijing soon."

"Mother, let's do this. When Dr. Sun arrives, I will go with him. With Dr. Sun here, I believe the strange illness cannot be blamed. It is inconvenient for the empress to leave the palace, so I will go instead of the empress. I believe Mrs. Tang Guogong will definitely be happy when she sees him. If you are happy and in a good mood, you will get better quickly if you are less sick."

"As a mother, I'm very pleased that you have such filial piety. It's just that the illness is dangerous, so it's better not to go."

"It's okay, mother. I'll go with Dr. Sun then."

Empress Dugu was worried about Yang Guang, but also really wanted to see her sister. She finally weighed it for a long time before nodding, but she asked Yang Guang not to have direct contact with Mrs. Tang Guogong.

Yang Guang is not afraid at all. The snake wrapped around his waist is herpes zoster. Although it is scary, the virus is the same as the chickenpox virus. It mostly occurs in middle-aged and elderly people. It appears when the immunity is low. He is young now, and in his memory Yang Guang has had chickenpox, so don’t panic.

Wouldn't it be nice to take this opportunity to meet people like Sun Simiao, the King of Medicine, who have left their name throughout the ages, and to meet Li Yuan, our future enemy?

"Mother, Mrs. Tang Guogong is the queen's biological sister. It's really shocking that Old Tang Guogong spoils his concubine and kills his wife."

As a staunch supporter of women's rights, Empress Dugu was filled with indignation: "Who says otherwise? Those delicate and pretentious foxy ladies will most likely seduce men when they are young and beautiful, and unlucky men will follow them even if they abandon their homes and careers. , I really can’t understand it.”

Learning skills from the barbarians to defeat the barbarians, Yang Guang counterattacked and said: "Mother, I think you can give the old Tang Duke's wife some rewards. The money may not be important, it is mainly in name. This will make her feel better." Some." "What reward?"

Yang Guang took the opportunity to talk about Madam Gaoming's affairs. It didn't matter if he didn't mention it. When he mentioned Queen Dugu, everyone almost jumped up. This was so in line with her wishes. She had always been worried about not being able to deal with those concubines.

That was someone else's wife. Although she didn't like the ministers having concubines, she couldn't control them by force. What Yang Guang, the royal wife, did was not to control the concubines in essence, but to give the ministers' official wives a place in the court. Issue recognized identities and use imperial power to distinguish the principal wife from the concubine.

This was exactly what Empress Dugu wanted. She excitedly shouted: "Okay, okay, okay, Amo, you have such an idea. I am really pleased. You are different from ordinary people. Only in this way, ordinary people are far away." Not as good as you."

Killing two birds with one stone, what Yang Guang wants is to ease the marriage of ministers, mainly the marriages of noble families, and what the queen wants is to reduce the number of charming people.

Queen Dugu looked at Yang Guang with unusual satisfaction.

Since his son changed his name, he has often come up with strange schemes, and he is not only making suggestions for the emperor, but also making suggestions for himself. Yang Guang also takes matters like this to heart.

If he is not a dedicated and affectionate person, how could he think of such a thing? Isn't this also a disguised form of restraint on himself?

I couldn't help but sigh, I really gave birth to a good son!

"I will discuss this matter with your father when I return to the palace. I believe he will definitely support this matter, and all the ladies will also support it. I, the Sui Dynasty woman, will not be bullied in the future."

"Mother, I always believe that women hold up half the sky."

As soon as these words came out, Queen Dugu looked at Yang Guang. Her eyes changed from admiration to admiration. Women can hold up half the sky. These short words seemed to contain immense power, like a beacon in the dark night. The first light of dawn.

This is the future direction of her life.

Yang Yong was promiscuous, and Yang Guang was devoted. After this, Yang Guang was more valued and favored by Queen Dugu. As for Mrs. Gaoming, it would have developed in the Tang Dynasty, but now it is just a little earlier.

The fish tied with a red rope was caught, and a group of people walked up to the queen. Queen Dugu praised her with joy. The ladies from each family were whispering to each other. After more than a day, whose child was outstanding? , it’s clear which child’s appearance and talents are clear at a glance.

Maintain media when it’s time to maintain media, and communicate when it’s time to communicate.

In the afternoon we set foot on the road back to the city.

Yang Guang rode on the horse, turned around and looked at Xiao Menglan, who was not far away and was looking at him. Under the sunset, the girl smiled lightly and did not avoid Yang Guang's eyes looking directly at her.

The smile seemed to be tinged with brilliance, and there was light in the eyes. A smile that spoke directly from the heart was worth a thousand words.

Yang Guang has fantasized many times about what kind of encounter he would have with his partner, as beautiful as in a TV series, or as twists and turns as in a novel.

I just didn't expect that it was arranged by my parents, or even a blind date.

But, so what, look at her faint smile under the sunset.

This seems to be good too.
