high official

Chapter 646
Naturally, Yang Rong and Yang Shiqi couldn't have come here purely for congratulations. In fact, congratulations were just an excuse, and the two of them had something to say to him.

"In addition to congratulating, I'm still here to say goodbye." Yang Rong said.

"Farewell?" Wang Xian's heart moved: "The Bachelor is going back to Beijing?"

"Yes," Yang Rong nodded and said, "I received the decree the day before yesterday, and the emperor summoned me to return to the north. In fact, I have always wanted to see you, but our identities... are a little sensitive..."

"Yes." Wang Xian nodded. One of them was the emperor's secretary, and the other was the emperor's second spy chief. With the emperor's top spy watching over him, it was really impossible to meet in private.

"I planned to ask Brother Shiqi to deliver a message for me, but fortunately Zhongde gave birth to Lin'er, we can come to congratulate him in a legitimate way." Yang Rong looked at Yang Shiqi and smiled: "It's a legitimate name, right?"

"Of course." Yang Shiqi nodded and smiled: "In terms of mastery, you and Wei Wenyuan are from the same family. Now that he is released to the magistrate, we must of course be a good elder for him."

Wang Xian was no longer Amon under Wu, so naturally he wouldn't be honored by Yang Shiqi's closeness, but it's still not a problem to say a few words on the scene with a happy face.

After a few words of nonsense, Yang Rong got to the point and said: "Zhongde, besides congratulating me this time, I'm explaining what happened last time." He was referring to, of course, the matter of the crown prince releasing Wang Xian's pigeons.

It's okay if he doesn't mention it, but when he mentions Wang Xian, his heart gets angry. The person surnamed Yang did it really dishonestly. He was the one who begged Bai Lai to help himself. Bring it up!As a result, when things came to an end, he retreated again, making himself unable to explain to his brothers, making himself as angry as if he had eaten a fly.

"At that time, although His Highness the Crown Prince wanted to accept it, if I insisted on persuading him, I believe the Crown Prince would agree." The two parties only met a few times, and Wang Xian didn't have a deep understanding of Yang Rong's wisdom.But he is the object of Er Yang's long-term attention. Yang Rong knows him very well, so he can naturally point the target: "It's just that I thought at the time that the prince's worry was also very reasonable. To deal with a peerless murderer like Ji Gang, the time is really ripe." , the right time, place and people are all indispensable.”

Seeing Wang Xian's expression of listening, Yang Rong continued to say frankly: "Any strategy is not set in stone, but needs to be adjusted accordingly. When we set the time, we planned for the worst. Once the emperor is furious, we must strictly investigate the matter." At the time of the case, Ji Gang had to be dragged into the water as a last resort. However, Zhong De's strategy was surprisingly effective, and the emperor really missed the prince and let this matter go. This makes it unnecessary for us to be caught up in the net..."

"Yes." Yang Shiqi also chimed in: "Ji Gang and the King of Han are actually a snake with two heads. Even if we want to fight, we have to fight both ways. If we only hit one end, the other end will definitely jump up and bite. So we still need to continue to plan and wait. The timing of the double kill. Zhong De, tell me, is this the truth?"

"Well..." The explanations of the two bachelors were reasonable, at least it relieved a lot of pimples in Wang Xian's heart, and he said with a smile: "Don't worry, I won't have any emotions. After all, there is nothing to lose, so let's continue to wait." Go down."

"Zhongde is really reasonable," Yang Shiqi said with a smile to Yang Rong, "I said your worries are unnecessary, right?"

"Hehe, yes." Yang Rong said with a smile: "However, it is better to talk about some things, so that we can cooperate sincerely, and the benefits will cut through the money."

"Yes." Wang Xian nodded in agreement.

"By the way, Zhong De," Yang Shiqi said, "How do you judge Hanwang and Ji Gang's next move?"

"It's definitely going to counterattack." Wang Xian sighed: "Ji Gang is a ferocious beast. If you miss the chance to kill him, he will never coexist peacefully with you, but the worst point about defense is worse than offense. The reason is that you don't know where he will make moves, so you can only passively wait for him to make moves..."

"Yes." Yang Rong said ashamedly: "Speaking of which, I have an unshirkable responsibility for today's passive situation. If Zhongde takes any action next, I will fully cooperate."

But Wang Xian just shook his head, obviously he didn't release the big move he had held back for a long time, and he couldn't think of any new moves for a while.

"That's it..." Yang Shiqi said softly: "Then let's wait and see what happens. After all, time is on our side. The longer it is delayed, the better for us. If it can be delayed until the emperor returns, everything will be solved."

"Will the emperor return to Beijing this year?" Wang Xian asked.

Yang Rong thought about it, and finally shook his head slowly and said: "It's hard to say, the emperor doesn't like the capital very much, there is no reason to come back, I'm afraid he won't return the court."

"Actually, when the emperor decides to return to Beijing, it is the time when we are in the most danger." Yang Shiqi said in a deep voice, "We must avoid jumping over the wall in a hurry."

Wang Xianxin said that you also know that it would be easier for me to kill a dog than to face two mad dogs, right?
Yang Rong and Yang Shiqi came here to settle their suspicions with Wang Xian. Seeing that their goals had been achieved, they naturally wouldn't stay any longer. The two sides said something about working together and strengthening communication, and Er Yang got up and said goodbye.

After Wang Xian sent the two great scholars out, the smile on his face disappeared, and Wu Wei who was behind him asked softly, "Which one are these two singing?"

"Take me for a fool." Wang Xian said with a cold smile: "Don't listen to Yang Rong's hype, but that's not the reason why he messed up this matter. His real reason is only one, that is, he doesn't want to I ate Jin Yiwei and turned into another Ji Gang."

"The enemy is still making small calculations, this group of literati really deserve to die." Wu Wei said bitterly.

"Civil and military have different ways, there is no way." Wang Xian said helplessly: "In the future, there will really be fights." He said with a self-deprecating smile: "It seems that my status as a juren is useless, and there are no more civil servants." Think of me as the same kind again.”

"If you fight, you will be afraid of whoever you are fighting with. Seeing their cowardice in front of King Han and Ji Gang, you can tell that these guys are nothing to be afraid of." Wu Wei said disdainfully.

"Who knows?" Wang Xian shook his head, shook off the unhappiness and said, "I'll talk about the future, let's be happy these few days." He looked up to the sky with a long smile and said, "I have both sons and daughters, this is the great thing." good news!"

"Yes, congratulations, sir." Wu Wei also smiled.

.

In the next few days, Wang Xian's family felt like a festival. Just as Mrs. Wang said, the birth of the eldest grandson brought the happy life of the Wang family to a complete conclusion, so it was natural to celebrate it.Therefore, Wang You's baptism ceremony was very grand.

The so-called three-day washing means washing children on three days. It is a very auspicious ceremony that is highly valued by the emperor's family and the common people.Now that the Wang family is rich and powerful, and they are the eldest grandson, naturally they have to make a big fuss.One day in advance, the servants prepared nearly a hundred kinds of sanitation products... On the morning of the sanitation, the servants boiled acacia puai water, dyed longan, lychees, and raw peanuts with rouge , some chestnuts for later use.

As the morning approached, relatives and friends came to congratulate her. The Wang family had already prepared a good banquet. Naturally, this time it was much calmer than the day of the birth, and the quality of the banquet was also much better.However, no matter how rich the food and wine are, the staple food is the same as the folks, which must be noodles, commonly known as "washing three sides".It's just that a bowl of sea cucumber noodles and shark fin noodles served is more expensive than a table of banquets at ordinary people...

After the luncheon, the guests gathered in the east courtyard where Wang You was born to watch the ceremony.Incense cases have been set up in the outer hall of the delivery room, enshrining thirteen statues of gods, including Bixia Yuanjun, Qiongxiao Empress, Yunxiao Empress, Cuisheng Empress, Sending Son Empress, Bean Sore Empress, and Vision Empress. Millet, a pair of small red suet candles are inserted on the wax skewer, and yellow coins, ingots, and thousands of pieces of money and food for worshiping the gods are pressed underneath.On the bed in the delivery room, there are also offerings for Kang Gong and Kang Mu, and the same offerings are also placed.

First, Mrs. Wang offered incense and kowtowed to the gods, and the midwife who was in charge of delivering the baby also bowed three times.Then, Mrs. Hou put the Huai Tiao Pu AI water on the kang in a copper basin, and the servants arranged all the ceremonial items, and Mrs. Wang sat on the side of the kang with her grandson in her arms, and the three-washing ceremony officially began.

At this time, according to their seniority, the guests add a spoonful of water to the copper basin one by one, and then put a little longan, lychee, red dates, peanuts and other happy fruits, which is called "adding the basin".In addition to Xiguo, copper coins or gold and silver were added to the basin. The guests of the Wang family naturally spent a lot of money. It's worth a thousand taels of silver.The princess even took out a jade ruyi carved from Western rubies, so that the guests could see how much the prince's family attached importance to Wang Xian.And Xu Miaojin's congratulatory gift left the guests stunned. It was a jewel the size of a child's fist, and it was absolutely priceless.

When adding pots, you should also say some auspicious greetings. For example, when adding clear water, you should say "long flowing water, smart and smart".Or say 'longan longan, Lianzhong Sanyuan' and the like.As for putting gold jewelry and the like, of course it is 'a house full of gold and jade'.

After refilling the pot, Hou sprinkled a handful of fresh flowers into the pot and said: "Gardenia, jasmine, peach, apricot, rose, tuberose, and pea rash are sparse..." Less smallpox, healthy growth without disaster.Then the old lady carried the baby to the basin, bathed the baby, and chanted her congratulatory speech while washing, saying, "wash your hair first, and become a prince; wash your waist afterward, and one generation will be taller than the previous generation; wash and wash eggs, and become a county magistrate; Wash the ditches, become the governor...'

After the washing, there is another set of rituals, in which the women who are blessed with all kinds of blessings come and go in turns among the guests. First, one of them lights a ball of mugwort leaf, and puts it on the forehead of the baby with slices of ginger as a symbolic moxibustion. A moxibustion, said 'no disease, no disaster'.

Then there was another one who combed the baby's hair and dressed up, and said: "Three combs, two combs, wear a black gauze hat when you grow up; draw eyebrows on the left, and temples on the right, find a daughter-in-law Sai Diaochan; brush your teeth, rinse your mouth, and follow the baby." People speak so as not to lose their ugliness. '

He also invited the most honorable princess among the guests to roll an egg on the baby's face, saying something like "the egg is rolled on the face, the face is like egg skin, and the willow red is like white, it is really a lover." After washing, tie up the child, and then ask a lady to hit her body with a green onion three times, saying: "One dozen is smart, and the other is smart." "Then asked someone to throw the onion on the roof, implying that the child will be very smart in the future.

It is also necessary to use the weight and the lock to gesture three times on the top of the child's head, implying that the baby's life is precious and lock him firmly.Finally, use a small mirror to take a picture on the baby's buttocks, and say: "Use a mirror to look at the buttocks, and the shit will be clean during the day and the bottom will be clean"...

At this point, the three washing ceremony came to an end. Finally, Aunt Wang burned the gods of Mr. Kang and Mrs. Kang, saying: "Kang Mr. Kang's mother's surname is Li, and the adults and children will be handed over to you; send more boys and less girls..." Then, wrap the ashes with red paper and press them under the kang mat, and ask the two gods to stay on the kang forever to bless adults and children in safety.

.

Men cannot participate in this ceremony, so Wang Xian waited outside. The ceremony started for a while, and Xu Miaojin came out of it...

　This is from yesterday, and today's...
