Do you have a recommendation for a novel about wife abuse and wife chasing crematorium? On the day
of Luan Qi, my husband brought back a girl from outside the mansion.
At that time, I was watering my own yard. It was summer recently, and the flowers and grass seemed to have not drunk enough water. They always needed to be taken care of. My husband went out to fight, and I was the only one in charge of the house. Raising some flowers and plants was also a way to pass the time.
“Madam, no!”! The general is back! It was Qingqing, my big servant girl, who accompanied me to marry into the house. He is about the same
age as me, but he still speaks a little impatiently.
I turned around and looked at her panting. I couldn’t help laughing and said, “Qingqing, it’s a good thing for my husband to come back. How can I say it’s not good?”?
Next time you say such bad words, I will punish you.
“Then I put down the watering kettle, looked at my clothes and said,” Qingqing, where is my husband? I don’t know if it’s too late for me to change my clothes. My husband is really right.
When I came back, I didn’t say hello in advance. I don’t know if it’s polite for me to greet her like this. “Seeing that Qingqing didn’t respond, I waved my hand in front of her eyes and said,” What are you thinking about? Are you so absorbed? Take me to change my clothes
quickly. Don’t let my husband wait for a long time.
“Qingqing came to her senses and knelt down in front of me, saying,” Madam, the general should be here soon.
Only.
。
。
Madam, don’t be angry.
“” Just what? When did
you learn to play this riddle? Half of
this talk is really tantalizing. Besides, it’s a good thing for my husband to come back. What can I be angry about?
General, the general brought a girl from outside the mansion.
“I was stunned for a moment and said,” Qingqing, maybe my husband was kind-hearted and saved a girl. Maybe that girl is a distant relative that you and I have never met. Or maybe my husband feels that there are few adults in the house and there is a shortage of maids?
Don’t be paranoid. What is written in the
script may not be true.
Besides, don’t you and I know who my husband is?
“At this point, there was a sudden sound of footsteps at the gate of the small courtyard. I was secretly pleased and whispered to Qingqing,” Look, my husband is back.
“Then he pinched the time and looked at the figure coming in from outside the door and said,” My husband is in peace.
You and my husband and wife, madam, why should you be so polite.
I felt his eyes on me.
I raised my head slightly. Although the general
in front of me has grown a few white hairs, he still has the shadow of a young man with fresh clothes and angry horses. For me, his smile is still as bright as sunshine.
I looked at his face and said, “Husband, Qingqing said you brought a girl back. Can you tell me? If you are in trouble, I can help you.”.
“” Now that you know, madam, that’s the best. Somebody, bring Ziyun up. As soon as
the voice fell, a girl came in hurriedly at the door, and she must have been waiting for a long time.
The red lips are bright outside, the white teeth are fresh inside, the bright eyes are good, and the dimples are right. It should be said that this is the person in front of us. The
waist of Chu is slender and light in the palm, even if it is a little far apart.
I can still see that this is a most beautiful girl.
The girl seemed a little shy and timid.
Qingqing whispered in my ear, “This is the girl the general brought back.”.
“My mother’s family was also an important official in the imperial court, and my father was the prime minister of the imperial court. All the ladies in the capital that I had come into contact with since childhood were passionate and hot, and they were basically very eloquent.”. The
first time I met such a timid girl, I really didn’t know how to open my mouth.
“Ziyun, this is the mother of my general’s mansion, and also the daughter of the prime minister. You need more of her in the mansion in the future. Why don’t you come and see her?”.
“Then he pulled the girl up to me.”. Surprised,
I quickly asked, “Husband, tell me again. I don’t understand. What does it mean in the mansion?” “Didn’t Qingqing tell you? I thought you knew.
“He scratched his head, looked at Ziyun and said,” Miss Ziyun, I saved her on the way. Her parents died early, and she lived a miserable life alone. It’s boring for you to be alone in the house. I want to take her as my concubine, so that I can be with you.
“As soon as the voice fell, Ziyun knelt on the ground and said to me,” Ziyun knows that he is vulgar, but the general can’t repay his kindness for saving his life, so he has to make a promise to his wife.
“Her voice was crisp, with the charm of a girl, like a lark.”.
But at this moment, I just felt that her voice was like a stone falling down. I felt the soles of my feet were a little weak. Before I opened my mouth, Qingqing said first: “My wife is the daughter of the prime minister’s mansion. Her status is noble. She was married by the general at the beginning. The general once said that only my wife would not marry. I don’t know what she said at the beginning.”.
“Husband’s face changed:” When the general office is so unruly, the master speaks, the maid can also open her mouth? I think you are getting more and more past when you are a mistress.
“I was a little dizzy, and I didn’t notice what they were talking about, but I knew that Qingqing was impulsive and managed to stabilize her figure:” I know what my husband likes. As for Miss Ziyun, my husband is welcome.
“Then he looked at Miss Ziyun in her husband’s mouth and looked at her carefully.” Now that my husband has opened his mouth, just stay.
“This girl is really beautiful. If I were a man, I’m afraid I would pity her.”.
The girl heard what I said.
As if relieved, he knelt down and saluted, reading in his mouth: “Thank you, madam, thank you, madam, Ziyun has nothing to repay.”.
“I was silent, but when my husband saw her series of movements, he dared to help her.”. I
think this picture is a bit eye-catching, and I use an excuse that I can’t stay for a long time because of illness and discomfort.
Soon, Qingqing and I were the only ones left in my yard. After watching them go away,
I picked up the kettle again and began to prepare to water the flowers.
Hand movements are going on, but the eyes can not help but begin to sour up. Before
I got married, my mother didn’t agree with my marriage at first. Later, when the day was near, she had to say to me that the prime minister’s mansion and the general’s mansion were also a good marriage. Marrying there should be an example for the court’s next mother.
Qingqing saw my tears and hurriedly took out the veil to wipe my tears.
“Madam, don’t cry, or the makeup on your face will be gone, and then you will become a little cat, which will not make people laugh. Besides, when you cry, Qingqing will feel pain in her heart.”.
I didn’t know how to answer her, so I was silent. The
new Ziyun girl was arranged by me in a courtyard called the Hall of Floating Clouds. The courtyard was also the place where I used to live occasionally. It was also the courtyard where I was designated as the general’s wife. But I didn’t like the big layout, so I moved to the small courtyard where I live now. As for the Hall of Floating Clouds, I went there occasionally. On weekdays, I only asked people to clean it. Maybe I won’t go there for a long time. There are excellent crabapple flowers growing in the yard. In April and May, the flowers are blooming like brocade, like the beautiful scene of dawn. I think Miss Ziyun will also like it.
Qingqing once took me by the hand and whispered to me, “Madam, that Ziyun is a fox spirit. The death of her parents is just an excuse for the general not to leave. Now you have given her such a good yard, and you don’t pay your respects to your wife on weekdays. Look at Qingqing, her tail is sticking up to the sky.”.
“my husband came to see me every two or three days in the first few months, talked to me and had a meal. After about a year, I can’t remember. He didn’t come very often. I didn’t show up in front of him except for the necessary occasions such as the Mid-Autumn Festival Glutinous Rice Balls for Lantern Festival. My husband also acquiesced in my practice.”. I looked at him several times at the
family banquet, and his eyes were all on Ziyun girl, with a smile at the corners of his mouth, and his gentle eyes seemed to be able to pinch out water. This was a look I had never seen and had. Ziyun girl herself was a beauty, and with the nourishment of the General’s Office, her beauty was even more beautiful than when she first came. I looked at them. I feel a little bitter in my heart, because I also think they are a good match.
My young general is still what he used to be. The only pity is that he doesn’t belong to me.
Later days, I still stay in the yard to water and grow flowers by myself, Qingqing is very unfair for me, always secretly staring at Ziyun girl for me, but in fact, I don’t need her to say that I live in the yard, but in the general’s office is a very middle position, every time when the general goes to find Ziyun girl, You can always hear the footsteps of him and the guards behind him, or when he invites Ziyun girl to go to the small garden to enjoy the flowers, you can always hear his hearty smile and Ziyun girl’s charming. I had a good ear
since I was a child, and I could always hear the subtle voice clearly. When I was still in the boudoir, my mother often made fun of me about this. She always laughed and said, “We Luan Luan, I’m afraid we’re not a downwind ear.”.
“I was young at that time, and I had to return everything. Although I was full of arrogance in front of me, I always wronged myself when I talked about it. Finally, my father came to coax me with two ice-sugar gourds.”.
I like sweet, in the capital is not a little secret, I am the prime minister’s daughter, plus I have been in primary school piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, not to say everything is proficient, but also take the hand, plus I used to like some novel and beautiful things, also like to dress themselves. When
I first got married, countless handsome young men came to get married.
Now in the Zhou Dynasty, there is a princess who is my close friend in the boudoir. She has a single word of Xi, and her title is Pingle. Everyone calls her Princess Pingle.
I think this moral is very good, peace and happiness, everyone is the heart, just listening to her name I can feel the emperor’s love for him, only she felt rustic, felt that her father did not care.
So on weekdays, as long as it is not an important occasion, we call her Zhou Xi. My husband
and I met at a banquet held by Princess Pingle after New Year’s Day. All the people who
came to the banquet were prominent people in the capital, young and talented people and beautiful women. Ping Le pulled me aside in private and said to me, “Luan Luan, do you know what this Luan means in your word?”.
Of course I know. It’s just a bird.
“Zhou Xi did not live up to expectations and nodded my head with his finger:” You fool, is this an ordinary bird? Is this a phoenix? What is a phoenix? It is a queen.
“Then with a serious face, he said to me,” Luan Luan, do you want to be a queen? “Hearing this, I quickly hissed and said,” Little ancestor, if I were your queen, I would be your mother. You really dare to say that.
“Ping Le also realized that his words were wrong. He quickly looked around to see if there was anyone around. After making sure that there was no one, he went on to say,” Luan Luan, I didn’t mean that. I don’t know how to say it. Anyway, my father wants you to be his daughter-in-law. When I
heard this, I was really shocked.
Ping Le went on to say, “I also think it’s appropriate for you to be my sister-in-law. After all, Luan Luan is so beautiful. The nephew and niece of the emperor who will be born in the future will also be a lovely dumpling. We will be even closer. Unfortunately, I know our Luan Luan. I don’t want to marry a man I don’t know for the rest of my life.”.
I don’t deny it. I really don’t want to marry someone I haven’t even met.
Ping Le patted me heavily on the shoulder, looking like he had a long way to go. “So, this banquet is for you, Luan Luan,” he said. “Before your father consults with your father, you should find a suitable husband first, and then go to beg your father. He loves you so much that he will find a way.”.
“Pingle’s words are not rude. As a princess, she has a noble status and is favored by the emperor, but she also has many royal restrictions. She can do so much for me. I really don’t know how to thank her for a long time. I only said,” Thank you, Zhou Xi. Between
you and me, there is no need to thank.
“Then he hugged me and whispered in my ear,” Luan Luan, I hope you are happy.
“What happened later was similar to everything else. General Xie Jiashao, Xie Hui, was both civil and military in front of me. The banquet seemed to be a stage for him. The arrows he shot hit every time, and the order of flying flowers was also very good. He also conjured up some sweet cakes and snacks for a group of women, even when I accidentally stepped on the empty steps.” Pulling me, I felt the cocoon in the tiger’s mouth of his hand. Looking up, he was looking at me with a smile. His eyes seemed to have a pool of ink that could not be melted. He said to me, “Miss Chen, be careful.”.
“Later, in order to marry him, I had a big quarrel with my parents, and my father finally yielded to me and disobeyed the emperor’s orders. Later, I learned that my father was feared in the court, and it was even more difficult for my father to make trouble in the court.”.
Fortunately, my father was satisfied with what Xie Hui had done there. Xie Hui was born well. He loved to laugh and play chess. He soon shook hands with my father. Only my mother was still worried. She had no choice but to teach me how to manage the house. Soon, the wedding day was approaching. Eight big sedan chairs, loud gongs and drums, three books and six ceremonies, and ten miles of red makeup. Even Xie Hui said that he would not marry me on an occasion full of friends, which made me cry, but now it seems that I don’t count.
After marriage, I didn’t have much contact with the outside world. Learning how to be a qualified housewife was enough to keep me busy. Zhou Xi also came several times after my marriage, but he was not in a good mood.
About half a year later, I learned that Zhou Xi was going to another country to get married. Zhou Xi’s farewell banquet was not posted to me. It was said that only the royal family could enter. It seemed that Zhou Xi was under house arrest for a few days. In short, I could not see her.
The day before her wedding, I received a letter, which was secretly given to me by the father-in-law in charge of the palace when he came to work. It was said to be a letter, but in fact it was more like a note, with only one sentence on it: “Luan Luan, I hope you are happy.”.
There is no signature, but I know it was given by Zhou Xi. She’s the
only one who would say that to me.
My name is Chen Luan.
This is the tenth year after I married Xie Hui, the general of the Zhou Dynasty. My health is getting worse and worse. I can’t stop coughing when I walk from my yard to the garden. The yard where I live is always filled with a smell of medicine. Sometimes the smell of medicine is so strong that even I cover my nose. I don’t like the smell. It’s like the struggle of a dying man. I saw a lot of herbalists, big and small. Finally, I gave some silver to the imperial doctor from the palace to know that I had less than three years left. He said that I had a heart disease, and it was up to me whether I was good or not.
Qingqing was betrothed to someone else by me. She was already a big girl unconsciously. Although she said she wanted to accompany me for a lifetime, I knew she liked Xie Hui’s bodyguard Ye Ming. When she got married, although she was older than average girl when she got married, she cried like a tearful person. But I knew that her heart should be very happy.
Otherwise, after I leave, there is no one to accompany her, she is alone in the general’s office, it is too lonely.
Days passed day by day, and I did not survive the cold winter of that year. After I fell ill, Xie came back more often than before. I always looked at him quietly, hoping to see a trace of love in his eyes.
But when he came, he sat beside my bed and said to me, “I’m sorry, Luan Luan.”.
“He seldom called me small print. When I didn’t marry him, he called me Miss Chen. When I married him, he called me madam. I didn’t expect to hear it for the first time on such an occasion.”. When
I left, the gongs and drums of the General’s Office were so loud that people rushed to tell each other, “Miss Ziyun is pregnant.”.
“Listening to the festive and lively sound outside, I felt a little noisy and upset, and then I thought, no matter how noisy it was, it should be better than sound of crying.”.
So think about it, the mood will be relieved a lot.
I don’t know if Xie Hui shed tears when I left, but I vaguely heard the sobs of my mother and father. They were old, and they didn’t have many children, only me and my brother.
Made up a “good” word, although the elder brother is talented, appearance is also extraordinary, is a top really gentle childe.
But when I married Xie Hui, it was a match between a high family and a high family.
But the power of the prime minister’s office and the general’s office in the court was so great that the elder brother had to marry a woman from a small family because of the emperor’s fear. Zhou Xi’s words swirled in my
mind and I closed my eyes. Pictures of the past flashed through
my mind, like a cursory glance, I saw many people, father, mother, brother, Qingqing.
。
。
。
。
。
Even the hawkers who often sell ice-sugar gourds and pear cakes in Dongshi seemed to be right in front of me. My body gradually became unconscious, but my chest was still stuffy for a while, which made me breathless. Only my ears were still full of loud gongs and drums, a scene full of joy.
Then it was like I slept, and it was like I had a dream for a long time. When I
woke up, I didn’t know how long it had been. The pain from my body made me extremely uncomfortable. Seeing that there was movement in the room, Qingqing hurriedly opened the curtain and said, “Miss, are you awake? You are worried to death.”.
“I squinted, did not adapt to the sudden light in front of me, I tried to wake myself up, and then turned my eyes to Qingqing, who was younger and more lively than I remembered.”.
Then I looked into the room I was in. Through the bed curtain, I could see the Rouge I liked on the dressing table on my right. But since I married Xie Hui, I seldom used such a charming color in order to maintain the style of my mother.
I seem to have returned to the past, which can also be said to be reborn.
I should have been surprised by all this, but when it really happened, I was not so excited. This is not the only story that happened to me.
Because after I died, I worked as a Piao in the General’s Office for ten years. When
Xie Hui was in love with me, he told me that he was my man in life and my ghost in death. When
he said this, his eyes were bright, as if there was light, but unexpectedly, in the end, I became the ghost of the General’s Office, I do not know how to say, the mood is a little complicated.
I saw my funeral. It was very grand. The sound of the suona procession could be heard clearly for two streets. Many people came to mourn, so many that they even broke the threshold of the General’s Office. But most of them were faces I didn’t know. They cried bitterly, and I didn’t know whether they were sincere or not.
My mother cried so hard that she fainted. Finally, she walked out of the General’s Office with the help of her elder brother.
Xie Hui, dressed in white, looked unclear, but knelt quietly in front of my spirit, silent, I think, I can not guess him in my life.
I had no place to go, so I had to wander around the street all day. There was an old woman in West Street who made sweet osmanthus cakes. They melted in my mouth, sweet but not greasy. Xie Hui liked them very much, but since I died, he seldom came. In the garden of the
General’s Mansion, my favorite peonies are still blooming brightly, and the flowers and plants in my yard are growing very well, better than when I was taking care of them.
Xie Hui often came to my grave alone to see me, brought me a bunch of flowers, peony, which I like very much, or said a few words to me. He was too masculine, and I couldn’t get too close to him to hear what he said.
He used to sit on my grave like this all afternoon. I don’t know what he was going to do, but I also knew it was unlucky.
I heard the servant say that the young master born by Xie Hui and Ziyun was cute and intelligent. He could recite a thousand characters at the age of three. I didn’t know what kind of character the young master had, but when I heard the old Mammy in the old general’s mansion say that he was exactly the same as General Xie when he was a child, I almost guessed what he looked like. He must be really cute.
I don’t know why he often comes to see me alone when he is so happy.
I thought for a long time and didn’t come to my senses. Qingqing couldn’t help shaking her hand in front of my eyes. Then she called my thoughts back. Then she said, “What is the young lady thinking? She has taken her soul away again. I’ll go and tell the master and his wife. They must be worried. Then I’ll go and bring you porridge. My good young lady, you can come to your senses and lie down for a while.”.
Qingqing was very lively, and I was somewhat infected by her. I smiled and raised my hand to her, and Qingqing was relieved. What Miss
Jing does every day is just a few things, such as needlework, reading, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and then waiting for the invitation of the banquet, and then shining brilliantly, winning the beautiful talk of the people after dinner, which is really a bit boring.
I play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. The piano is the best, the calligraphy and painting are general, and the chess is the worst.
How bad is it? If you find a child who has only learned chess for about a year to play chess with me, who has learned chess for eight or nine years, you can probably get a draw.
My elder brother once said to the master who taught me to play chess with a smile, “Ah Luan can’t play chess. It’s good. Most people who are good at playing chess have a deep mind.”. I was so
angry that my master blew his nose and stared at him. He accused my elder brother to my father and beat him so much that he was crying for his father and mother.
As for my piano, so how bad I play chess, how good I play the piano.
On the contrary, my elder brother is good at playing chess, and there is a popular saying among the people: “The sons and daughters of the Chen family are unparalleled in playing the piano and chess.”.
“I think, if they know that my chess is so bad, it is estimated that this beautiful talk will disappear completely.”. When I was a
child, I often played the piano in front of people, but after I was twelve years old, I only occasionally played a song at a big banquet in the palace. When I was
twelve years old, my mother said to me, “Don’t play too much in the future. You are a young lady, not an actor. If you play too much, you will lose your value.”.
“I didn’t understand this before. I practiced the piano so hard every day. It was common for my hands to have blood blisters. I had to apply ointment every day to press back the calluses that were going to grow on my hands. The pain made me cry several times.”.
In the days when I was a Piao, there was a music workshop in the East City, where there was a singing girl who played the piano well. It was really like “playing a lovesickness song, and the string was broken for a while.”.
“But the cocoons on her hands are of different shades, and they don’t look very beautiful.”.
I suddenly understood that even though I was very talented in the sound of the piano, years of medicine had smoothed my cocoons and the further improvement of my piano skills.
I can’t help being dumb.
Two months later, the palace handed the invitation to the prime minister. It was at this banquet that Pingle asked me, “Luan Luan, do you want to be the queen?” Thinking of Pingle, I could not help sighing. I knew that Zhou Xi had a sweetheart. She liked a palace painter named Liu Changqing, who was tall and thin. He did not like to wear official clothes. Often wear a fluttering blue and white clothes, soft eyes, with people gentle but cold, really worthy of a sentence, “strangers are like jade, childe is unique in the world.”.
“Ping Le once whispered to me,” Luan Luan, do you know that Chang Qing can draw people.
Without waiting for me to react, she quietly pulled me into the study, carefully climbed up the ladder, removed a few books, took out a few paintings behind me, and spread them out to me. The woman in the
painting has bright eyes and white teeth, and her smile is brilliant, like the endless peach blossoms in April. At the end of the upper right corner of the painting, there are two words: Xi’er.
It was Zhou Xi’s small print, and no one would call her that except her mother on weekdays.
I jokingly pinched Zhou Xi’s face and said, “There, not as good as the princess.”.
“She pretended to be angry, put down the painting and scratched me, and finally forced me to draw very well.”.
Before leaving, I reminded Zhou Xi to put it carefully. She nodded carefully, put the painting back in place, and then covered it carefully with a book. Finally, she swept some dust with the small broom that the palace people usually cleaned, and then left. When
Zhou Xi walked, he jumped up and down, and the hairpin on his head trembled. Even though it was a little far away, I knew that the hairpin’s appearance and pattern were all ordinary, not like something in the palace. It occurred to
me that a year or two ago, at my age, Zhou Xi was drunk and I accompanied her to sober up in the pavilion beside the pond.
The evening breeze blew my face, bringing a trace of lotus fragrance and the wine smell of Zhou Xi beside me. I suddenly felt a heavy body. It was Zhou Xi who threw herself into my arms. The peach blossom fragrance and sweet fruit wine fragrance on the girl’s body soon covered up the lotus fragrance.
Suddenly, Zhou Xi began to cry, sobbing in a low voice at first, and then crying louder and louder.
She cried and said, “Luan Luan, I am so sad.”.
Luan Luan, I really like him.
Luan Luan, why can’t his birth be better? As long as it’s better, I can fight with my father.
Luan Luan, you know, I really want to marry him, but once I marry him, he can’t even be a painter in the palace.
“” Luan Luan.
。
。
。
That night, Zhou Xi cried for a long time until her eyes were still red and swollen when I saw her the next day.
I am the model of a girl in the capital. I should remind her not to cry like this. As a princess, it is not polite.
But I didn’t that night. Now I’m the only one beside her. I think it’s okay not to be a princess for a while. As soon as the
painting style changed, in the days of the General’s Office, since Zhou Xi’s marriage, there was little about her in the capital. The princess with bright eyes and good words seemed to be really forgotten by the public and far away from the capital.
I thought of the days when I was a Piao, and I heard the name of Princess Pingle in the people’s after-dinner conversation. At the time of
Zhou Xi’s marriage, it was a snowy day in December. It had not snowed for a long time in the Zhou Dynasty. It was said that auspicious snow promised a good harvest. The people all said that the princess married well and the snow was good. They could not help thinking that the princess’s marriage was a good omen.
Only I know that Liu Changqing knelt at the gate of the palace for three days and three nights and failed to ask for a summons from the emperor. The heavy snow left him with a cold disease, and he grew old all of a sudden.
The barbarians were fighting. Zhou Xi’s first husband died on the battlefield. According to the rules there, she married her first husband’s brother. Less than a year later, Zhou Xi’s second husband died of an epidemic.
Since then, Zhou Xi has fallen into the name of a husband.
Zhou Xi went mad and then committed suicide by hanging himself from a white silk. The people lamented for a few days, and I never heard a word from them about the young princess.
My mind drifted for a long time before it finally drifted back to my mind. When I returned to the prime minister’s mansion, which had been quiet for several months, it finally became lively. People came and went, and everywhere I saw was a busy look. I was shut up in the room by my mother to practice the piano, eat, and measure clothes before I could catch my breath. New Year’s Day is coming
soon. There is no foreign banquet in the palace on New Year’s Day. The emperor usually holds a family banquet on that day.
And the day after New Year’s Day will be our home court. Although
Zhou Xi was a princess, she could not come out to see me. At that banquet, she represented the royal face, and naturally she was locked up in the palace to practice the program.
When Qingqing came over to deliver the meal, she quietly grabbed my sleeve and said furtively, “Miss, let’s go to see the lanterns. I heard that the streets are very lively today.”.
“I looked at Qingqing’s expectant face. I thought I should have refused her in my previous life. Thinking like this, I looked into her eyes and said to her with a smile,” Well, don’t let my mother find out.
“The streets are really bustling, thousands of lights reflect the tall buildings, and the cries of the streets and alleys are endless.”.
Qingqingshi, regardless of his identity, took my hand and stopped in front of the stall. Looking at the shop, the girl in front of him was smiling and looking at an old man who used to play with sugar paintings.
Qingqing is as old as I am. She has been with me since I was a child. She stays in the prime minister’s mansion. She is also a servant. Even if the prime minister’s mansion treats the servants well, those snacks and toys are not available.
I looked at Qingqing’s appearance and said with a smile, “Do you like it?” Qingqing looked as if I had said something on her mind. She lowered her head. I felt cute and thought she was really a little girl. I couldn’t help teasing her: “What can I do?
Miss, I don’t have any money. “” Qingqing.
。
。
Qingqing, I don’t like it! Let’s go somewhere else.
When Qingqing heard this, she made a gesture to pull me away.
I gently broke away from her hand, deliberately made a look of distress: “How to do, I want to eat ah.”.
Miss, Qingqing doesn’t have any money either.
“Qingqing quickly believed, after all, I like to eat sweets in the capital is not a secret, not to mention she is my personal maid, naturally is a clear understanding of my preferences.”.
I pretended to think for a long time before saying: “Otherwise, Qingqing, you wait for me here, I took the sugar painting, and when I have enough shopping, I will ask my brother to take you home.”. As soon
as Qingqing raised her head, she lowered it again. Holding her skirt in both hands, she poked it again and again. She struggled and hesitated for a long time before she said, “Qingqing is waiting for the young lady here. The young lady must come to pick me up.”.
“I tapped her head. Qingqing looked up again and looked at me puzzled.” Is your young lady like that? Tell the boss what you like. I have money with me.
“Really, Miss?” “Of course it’s true, except for that moment. When did your young lady deceive you? Look at your face. It’s just wrinkled like a bitter melon. It’s so ugly.
“” Miss! “” All right, all right, don’t tease you, go and talk to the boss.
“Qingqing smiled and answered,” Thank you, Miss! “He turned to the old man who sold the sugar painting and said,” Give me a sugar painting. I want a phoenix. I want a painting that looks better than my young lady.
“Hey, you Qingqing!” “Who let the young lady just lie to me, Qingqing this is to treat others in their own way.
“Speaking enthusiastically, my stomach could not help crying out, to tell the truth, in order to come out smoothly tonight, but I saved the time for dinner.”. There are a lot of people who
make sugar paintings, and there are still a few people who have just arrived at Qingqing.
I said to her: “You wait for me here, I go to buy some food, come back right away, wait for me to come back and then go to put a lantern, go home.”.
Miss, you’re not going to leave me alone.
How could it be? I was just teasing you.
When did you distrust your own young lady so much.
The young lady paid the money first.
“” All right, all right.
“It’s rare to come out once, so naturally I want to eat something I can’t eat at ordinary times. When I was cooking Ah Piao, I remember there was a preserved fruit shop in front of me. On weekdays, there was a long queue. I heard that it was an old shop that had been open for a long time. According to this age, it should also be open.”. The preserved fruit store in my
memory is indeed there, but there are not many people now, and the store is not as big as I saw when I was doing Ah Piao, but there are still many kinds of preserved fruit inside. I stood at the door and looked at it for a long time without making a decision.
At this time, a gentle male voice sounded in my ear: “This young lady looks strange, I watched the young lady wandering for a long time, I think it is the first time to come, you can try sour apricot and yellow peach, very good.”.
“I followed the source of the voice to see that there were two men coming from the other side. What he said was wrong. I saw that one of them looked familiar. It should be the son of the imperial family, Wen Xuan.”.
He is surrounded by numerous beauties, but the story of not touching the body is well-known, but he looks good.
With a good skin, it is also mixed like a fish in water. After
hearing about the death of the last emperor, their family’s position in the court was flourishing, and even the General’s Office had to avoid its edge.
I have met him several times, and there is always his shadow at the banquets of people with heads and faces in the capital. I don’t quite recognize the other one beside
him. He should not be the son of an official family in the capital. He was born good-looking. He pressed down Wen Xuan’s appearance abruptly. He even had a mole in the corner of his eye. His eyes seemed to contain a pool of ink. If he had some status in his family, he would naturally be like Xie Hui. She became the object of the nobles in the capital talking about marriage.
I think it was Wen Xuan who said that just now. He smiled at him. I think he recognized me. As
Wen Xuan approached, he introduced to the man beside him, “This is Chen Luan, the daughter of the prime minister’s mansion.”.
“Then it seems to be stumped, thinking for a long time, but also can not hold back a word, and finally the man himself opened his mouth,” the girl called me Chu Chen.
“Wen Xuan accompanies smile,” right, Miss Chen calls him Chu Chen to go. What a coincidence
today.
Yes, what a coincidence! It’s my first time here. When I was worried about what to buy, you two appeared. In that case, I’ll buy sour apricots and yellow peaches.
“I said so, but my eyes unconsciously looked at the jade pendant on Chu Chen’s waist.”.
“Sour apricot don’t need to buy, I just have more here, I don’t know if the girl would like to show her face?” To my surprise, it was Chu Chen who said this, I looked at the brown paper bag in his hand, smiled slightly, saw that it was not a valuable item, shirked it, and accepted it. After a
few pleasantries, I should go.
“Say goodbye to the two gentlemen.”. “Miss
Chen, see you again!” Wen Xuan threw his hand at me. Before
parting, inadvertently, I left Chu Chen one eye, he smiled at the corner of his eyes, but did not see the fundus seems to be mixed with this bit of banter, and then look carefully, as mild as the wind in March. When
I returned to the booth selling sugar paintings, the feathers of the phoenix in Qingqing’s hand had disappeared. It was bare, like a pheasant. She smiled shyly: “Why did the young lady go so long? Qingqing can wait.”.
“I pinched her nose and looked at the riverside in the distance. All kinds of lanterns, big and small, floated on the water and dyed the water red. I said to Qingqing with a smile,” Let’s go and put the lanterns.
“When the two of us were sneaking back to the prime minister’s mansion, it happened that we were caught red-handed by our elder brother who was waiting for us.”.
“Did you tell your mother?” I said timidly.
The elder brother raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, “I’ve grown up. Now I don’t even call my brother.”.
“When I heard him say this, I knew that he had not told his mother. He opened his brows and saluted his elder brother with a smile.” Thank you for your kindness. Ah Luan thanked my elder brother here.
“He held his forehead and gave me the soup in his hand.” Go back to the house quickly. Ask Zhang Ma to cook some ginger soup for you later to warm your body. The weather is cold. Don’t catch cold.
Can you put more sugar in it? Zhang Ma’s ginger soup is the most bitter.
“I pushed my luck and climbed up the pole.”.
“You’re so sweet.”.
“My elder brother gave me a white look.”.
“Thank you, brother!” When I got back to the room, I had nothing to do. I took out the sour apricot and tasted it. My face was wrinkled together. It was so sour! When I looked closely at the surface of the preserved fruit, I didn’t even sprinkle any powdered sugar.
I now probably know what Chu Chen’s smile means, can not help but feel funny, the age is not small, children’s tricks will appear on my body. The
New Year’s Day banquet came as promised, and my mother invited someone from the palace to make up for me. The best thing in my facial features was my eyebrows and eyes. After the makeup lady’s description, it was even more outstanding.
I flattered a few words, the makeup Niang smiled happily, and took out a pen, in the corner of my eye where a mole point, said with a smile: “Miss look like this will hook people like.”.
“The beautiful dress prepared for this banquet has also been sewn. In my previous life, I wore a water-colored skirt. The material of the dress was special, like this water pattern, sparkling under the light.”.
But coincidentally, Xie Hui was wearing a red suit that day, matching red and blue, and naturally got a burst of encouragement from the people around him.
This time, when I was making clothes, I begged my mother to change it into a white skirt, but it was all white and unlucky, so I asked the craftsmen to embroider it with painted peony, and add some scattered red silk, which looked like plum blossoms blooming on the snow in winter. It was not too early for
me to arrive at the banquet, and the emperor left when he saw that I had come to express his condolences. The
reigning emperor is Zhou Xi’s father, who is about the same age as my father. When I
was a child, I often went to the palace to play. The emperor loved me very much. Even Zhou Xi was jealous sometimes.
Even this Luan in my name is a name given by him. No matter how grand the banquet in the
palace was, there were only a few items in the process. The princes and princesses were all sitting under the main seat. I came a little late, and there were not many seats left in the upper seat. Zhou Xi saw me and waved to me. As a result, she was warned by Mammy’s eyes next to her. The action was small and she motioned me to sit next to her.
Sitting down, I found that Xie Hui was not far away from me. He was holding a glass of wine. There was an endless stream of people coming to toast. He also refused all comers. It seemed that he saw my eyes. He looked at me and smiled at me. I dodged. The order of the
performance is to draw lots. I am the fifth, and Zhou Xi is the first.
She danced a dance in the middle of the hall, and when she saw it, she knew that she had worked hard. After the dance, she asked someone to fetch a pen and paper and wrote on it, “Once upon a time, there was a beautiful woman named Gongsun, who moved all directions with a sword.”.
“The pen is vigorous and powerful, unlike what a woman can write, and it has won a lot of applause around it.”.
In the middle, those who should dance should dance, and those who should sing should sing.
Soon it was my turn to go on stage, touch the piano in my hand, pluck the strings gently, and then begin to play. When I
played the last note, I looked up just in time to see Xie Hui’s pondering eyes. Memories rushed into my mind again. When I came to my senses, I found that the strings were broken. I got up in a daze. There was silence around me. After a long time, the applause seemed to drown me out.
I returned to my seat, only to find Xie Hui coming towards me with a glass of wine. Miss
Chen plays the piano very well.
“With a smile in the corner of his eyes, the young general in red with an angry horse is really a beautiful word.”.
“Xie Xiaojun also knows the rhythm?” I steadied my mind and looked at the young general in front of me. I still couldn’t hold back my sarcasm. “I know a little. The smile on his
face did not change, and he did not seem to hear what I said.
“Would you like to buy Miss Chen a drink?” He motioned to me to look at the glass in his hand.
I didn’t want to talk to him any more, so I said, “I can’t drink. Drinking hurts my health. It’s better for General Xie to drink less.”.
Xie Mou has seen Miss Chen before?
“He asked suddenly.”.
Zhou Xi tugged at my sleeve, but I ignored it and replied, “No.”.
That girl’s ability to lie is too clumsy, Xie Mou just saw the young lady but drank a lot.
“He was still laughing, and it made me upset.”.
Just when I was upset, suddenly came a male voice, “Miss Chen, meet again!” From far to near, I recognized that it was Wen Xuan’s voice. He stepped forward quickly, then saluted Zhou Xi and said to Xie Hui, “Mr. Xie, long time no see.”.
“Mr. Wen, I haven’t seen you for a long time. Do you know Miss Chen?” “Of course I do. I don’t have time to tell you. Miss Chen, can you come out? Miss Hubu is waiting for you in the garden. She said she has been looking for you for a long time.
“At this point, I had no choice but to say to Xie Hui with a smile,” Excuse me, General Xie.
“I winked at Zhou Xi again and mouthed at her:” Wait for me to come back.
“I followed Wen Xuan to the outside of the hall. Soon I slowed down. Wen Xuan was puzzled and turned to look at me.” Miss Chen, why don’t you go.
“” Mr. Wen’s ability to lie is also very ordinary. He can also deceive a princess like Zhou Xi, who is not familiar with the world, and a little general like Xie Hui, who just returned to the capital and did not deal with women. I remember that this generation of men are very prosperous. When did the young lady come out? “” Miss Chen is intelligent. Mr. Wen did me a favor
today. Thank you very much. When
I have time, I will send some food to Mr. Wen to express my gratitude. I will not go to the garden.
I went for a walk to digest food, and then I went back. The princess was still waiting for me.
“I made a gesture to go, and Wen Xuan stopped me again.”. Miss
Chen, wait.
“” Eh?
Could you ask Miss Chen to answer the next question?
“Wen Xuan said.”.
“Naturally.”.
I looked at Wen Xuan with a smile.
。
。
。
。
。
。
On the other side, Wen Chuchen was half lying in a tree, slightly squinting. His long hair fell down and swayed gently with the breeze. When he heard footsteps, he opened his eyes, but only saw Wen Xuan. He asked, “Where is he?”?
“” Gone.
“” Gone? Why doesn’t
she, a lady of an aristocratic family, know that there is no lady in the Ministry of the Interior? Even I have heard some rumors.
Chu Chen, she said you were a poor liar.
“Chu Chen jumped down from the tree, patted the earth on his hand, and asked,” Did you ask her about the sour apricot?
“” Yes.
“” How to say?
He said he didn’t know what the smell was, and he was caught by a cat in the middle of the night.
“Wen Xuan thought for a moment and then said,” She said she would thank me and send me some food in a few days. Would you like to taste it. Just
send it to my house.
Chu Chen, why didn’t I find you so thick-skinned before? I did this favor for
him.
“” Not me, you will be bored to get involved in this muddy water? “Chu Chen raised his eyebrows.
A few days later, Chu Chen also received the food made by Chen Luan, all very simple snacks, purple potato porridge, Bean Paste Cake and brown sugar bags, Chu Chen picked up the Bean Paste Cake and tasted it, the sweet entrance, this Miss Chen was afraid not to knead half a catty of sugar into the dough, put too much sugar, even if steamed, you can eat the sugar hidden in it.
Chu Chen looked at the remaining half of the hand, only to feel that the sour apricot should not be like a cat to eat.
An hour later, the food appeared at the door of Wen’s house again. At the banquet on
New Year’s Day, Zhou Xi had been asking me questions since I returned to my seat. About the same time, she still went back to the question in her previous life: “Luan Luan, do you want to be a queen?” I stared at her eyes, which were still young and young, and even looked at people with a kind of cleanliness.
I looked at Xie Hui’s seat, which was already empty.
“Marriage is not something I can decide alone, parents’ orders, matchmakers’ words, Zhou Xi, if they talk about it, I will talk to them.”.
“I saw Zhou Xi’s expression suddenly became anxious:” Luan Luan, if you really want to marry, your parents will tell you in advance, after all, they love you so much Luan Luan, you are so good, you should have your own happiness, don’t be trapped, okay?
I know what she’s trying to tell me. She’s looking at herself through me. She doesn’t want me to be the second Zhou Xi and Liu Changqing.
“Yes.”.
“I took her cool hand, forced a smile, and said with a smile,” Little Zhou Xi, so are you.
She did not answer me, but looked at me and held my hand tighter. At the end of the
banquet, everyone left in twos and threes. I drifted with the tide. Far away, I saw Qingqing waiting for me at the door. She was waving to me. When she saw me approaching, she took out a cloak from the carriage and wrapped it around me. She said, “Miss, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time. Go home quickly. Don’t be cold.”. It was cold that
night. I went back to my room early. I had a dream, a dream full of memories that belonged to my last life. Not long after the
banquet, I fell in love with Xie Hui at first sight, and I was satisfied with the preference he showed. On occasions with him, I always wore water-colored clothes, just to look at him, and to be intimate with him, I always pulled him to talk about something, all of which were “Xie Gongzi, have you eaten?”? The sunshine is really good
today, and the weather is really good.
“Such farfetched small talk.”.
After his marriage, as a general of a country, he still often had to go out to fight. The summer sun was so poisonous that it made several cracks in his face. I was very distressed. When it rained heavily, I ran five streets to buy the special ointment for sunburn. Obviously, it was smeared on his face, but my tears could not stop flowing down.
He took a veil to wipe my tears and kept saying, “I don’t hurt, madam. Don’t cry.”.
“After that, I always used to fill a whole bag with those commonly used medicines for him. When he came to see me, he would rather take a long time, but he would always apply the medicines on the way first, and treat the wound first. He said,” My wife is timid, and I’m afraid that such a scar will frighten my wife.
“Then, ah, it changed again. I dreamed of that day again. The general’s office where I lived suddenly became deserted. I was still in splendor and wealth. The general went out to fight longer and longer.”.
I dreamed of many things. I dreamed of the coldness of those years, the silence at the dinner table, and the loud gongs and drums when I died. When I
woke up, I touched the pillow. It was wet. I realized that I had cried last night.
“It’s not worth it.”.
“I thought so, so I got up and called Qingqing to make up my hair.”.
I pointed to the charming Rouge on the table and said, “Use this.”.
“Life is going on like this. The New Year is coming. As a young lady of the prime minister’s office, I naturally received a lot of gifts from all directions. I was surprised that there were gifts from the general’s office and the imperial department. The one I thanked back was a gorgeous peony velvet flower with exquisite craftsmanship, as if it had just been picked from the branches.”.
Even Qingqing can see that this is not an ordinary product. The one from the
imperial department was an invitation, which said that I was invited to get together in half a month.
I know it’s Chu Chen, and no one will call me a girl except him.
And no one is stuffing New Year’s gifts with sour apricots without a little powdered sugar. I
thought there was nothing to do recently, so I agreed.
The next few days were snowing heavily, and the snow bent the branches and looked heavy, but when the appointed day approached, the weather could not be said to be very good, but it did not snow. There were no ladies’ parties
recently, and it was New Year’s Day, so my mother relaxed and allowed me to go out for a walk. The
location was set by Chu Chen. It was a restaurant I had never heard of in the capital. The location was remote and the storefront was not big. It took the coachman almost half an hour to send me to Shanshan. When
I went upstairs, Chu Chen was the only one in the private room. In front of him was a plate of completely peeled red peanuts, with peanut shells piled high on the other side.
Seeing me, he sat better. “Is the girl here?”? When I
saw Chu Chen’s appearance, I smiled and said, “I haven’t been here before. I was delayed on the way.”.
“As I spoke, I sat down opposite him, pointed to the peanuts peeled from the table, and said,” Mr. Chu, it’s very romantic.
“Chu Chen smiled reluctantly and said,” Thank you for your praise. It’s just boring. Try it. “Without waiting for me to answer, I immediately called the waiter:” Order. My young lady is coming. She pays.
“Before I could react, he casually pointed to the menu and threw him into the arms of the waiter, saying,” Put all your signs on it.
“Well, wait a moment!” I watched Erxiaolian walking and running, as if afraid that we would regret it, and I couldn’t help laughing.
I lightly touched the tea, not as sweet as I imagined, but with a little astringent taste. I frowned and said, “Two people order so many dishes. Mr. Chu is really rich and powerful.”.
“He waved his hand easily and said,” No, it’s the girl who is rich and powerful. They all heard it just now. The girl paid for the meal. What the
girl just said really creased me.
“Then he pretended to be amazed and said,” Is it difficult for a girl to repudiate a debt? This is not good.
“” You!.
。
。
“I stared at him, thinking that when I was a Piao, the East City was also very chaotic, and women would shout abuse on the street. I heard it many times, but when I returned to the identity of Miss Xiangfu, I couldn’t say a word.”.
Chu Chen eats very well, although the dish only ordered a table, but only ate a few dishes, other dishes did not even move chopsticks. Miss
Chen, will you go somewhere with me later?
“in the middle of the meal, Chu Chen suddenly asked me with a smile.”.
He was not soft, but when he smiled, he offset the coldness of his face, which was thousands of miles away from people, and the mole was well, as if it should have been born there.
“Go there?”?
“I gave him an angry look.”.
“Refugee home.”.
“He looked at the leftovers on the table.” Send it to them. Don’t waste it. Only then did
I realize that all he ate were hot dishes.
Cold dishes, cakes, melons and fruits, nothing touched.
I thought it was funny, so I ordered the waiter to prepare three big pots of porridge and buy them with the pots and lids. Originally, I wanted to buy 300 meat buns, but unfortunately there were not enough meat buns, so I had to change them into half meat, half vegetable, and 100 steamed bun.
I turned to Chu Chen and said with a smile, “What’s the matter with packing some leftovers? It’s the New Year, and I should eat something hot.”. Miss
Chen has a good heart. Will she move there by herself later?
“I saw the corners of his mouth slightly raised and asked me with a smile.”.
I gave him a white look and said, “I’m a young lady. I came up in a carriage. Naturally, I can put it on the carriage.”.
“Chu Chen leaned against the door frame and made a servant’s appearance. With a smile on his face, he handed his hand and said,” The girl is rich and powerful. The little one will do it.
“I stretched out my hand, patted Chu Chen on the shoulder, walked in front of him, and said,” Let’s go, Xiao Chen.
“Chu Chen gritted his teeth and said,” Girl, I really want to go out.
“I spread out my hands:” Who let me be your young lady? Just now the waiters all heard it.
“It was already the next day. When my father came back from the court, he called me to the hall and said with a laugh,” Ah Luan, you are really trying to give your father a long face. The imperial department is vigorously boasting about you in front of the emperor. Those refugees have just fled from the north. It’s the New Year, and the officials are revealing themselves.
Had it not been for the fact that you went to give alms that day and were noticed by the imperial department and reported to the emperor, I’m afraid I don’t know that our a Luan did such a big thing behind my back.
“I was a little confused, but I still asked my father,” Was my daughter praised by the emperor alone?
Is there anyone else with you?
My father looked at me in puzzlement.
I realized that I was going to reveal my mouth and quickly prevaricated: “Of course, Qingqing and Yueyue are all with my daughter.”.
“” Those who don’t count, Ah Luan, tomorrow you and your elder brother will go to office. The emperor wants to say a few words to you alone. I believe you have a sense of propriety in what you say, but accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger. You’d better pay attention.
It’s my father.
I looked down at my feet and couldn’t figure it out.
“Ah Luan, you have grown up and become sensible. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself. I am very happy that you can give porridge to the refugees.”.
But even if you do nothing, as long as you do not do bad things, do not harm nature, I will not be disappointed.
“My father came up to me, patted me on the shoulder and said,” Ah Luan, you and I are father and daughter. You don’t have to be so talented to speak.
“After a pause, he added,” The court has sent someone to settle all the refugees. There’s no need to worry any more.
“When I looked at my father, I inexplicably thought of the scene when he took me to swing and fly paper kites when I was a child. When I thought of the official position that he demoted again and again without complaining after I married Xie Hui, I couldn’t help being red-eyed:” I know, Dad.
“” How old are you? You’re still crying. You don’t know how to be ashamed. Well, go back quickly. You’ll go to the palace tomorrow.
“My father comforted me.”.
Then, instead of holding back, I cried even more fiercely. It was very late when I
got back to the house. I wanted to write a letter to ask Chu Chen clearly, but I didn’t know how to write, so I delayed again. When
I woke up, there was a little snow outside the window. In the
carriage, as soon as I smelled the signs that my brother was going to make a long speech, I closed my eyes and pretended to sleep. I went to bed late
yesterday. I pretended to be late, but I really fell asleep.
Approaching the official gate, my elder brother gave me a push and woke me up, saying, “Ah Luan, go in. I’ll wait for you outside the palace.”.
“” No, brother, you go back.
I’m not a child. It’s snowing heavily outside. Go home first. I’ll be back soon.
Without waiting for an answer, I hastened out of the carriage.
After running a few steps, I heard my elder brother shouting behind me: “Don’t run, slow down, the road is slippery!” I didn’t turn back, but I could imagine that the expression on my elder brother’s face at the moment should be smiling and helpless. The father-in-law at the gate outside the
palace should have been waiting for a long time. When he saw me coming, he quickly welcomed me in and showed me the way. I felt that he had a familiar face.
My father-in-law was very old, probably an old man in the Palace. As he walked, he smiled and said to me, “Miss Chen Hasn’t been here for a long time. There are newly opened plum blossoms in the Imperial Garden, which look like Rouge on them. They are very beautiful. If Miss Chen comes out early, you can go and have a look.”.
“” Well, thank you, father-in-law.
“I responded so readily on the surface, but I thought that if I really wanted to see it, I would call Zhou Xi out and pull him up, otherwise it would be too boring for me to wander around the palace alone.”. In the
hall, I had thought that the emperor would ask me some tricky questions that I could not answer when he asked me to come alone.
Unexpectedly, the one in the temple was as kind as I remembered when I was a child, with a long beard, which left him a bit of dignity.
I find it strange that the prime minister’s mansion is becoming more and more powerful, and he should be afraid of our family.
The emperor did not have the idea of embarrassing me, first greeted me a few words as usual, then praised me, and then gave me a few jewelry rewards, also let me go back.
It’s just that when I left, he inexplicably told me to come often when I was free on weekdays.
I just listened to it as a polite word and didn’t take it to heart. Within a quarter of an hour of
walking out of the hall, I was stopped by someone. I was very familiar with the voice. It was Xie Hui. Dressed in red,
he stood out in the snow. Miss
Chen, what a coincidence.
“Xie Hui came to me with an umbrella.”.
I realized that the snow was getting heavier.
“It’s a coincidence.”.
“I followed his words, I saw Xie Hui did not give me the umbrella, but I did not take it, but he was not annoyed, it seems that I would do so, it is natural to hold the umbrella with me.” Xie Gongzi, this is not good for people to see.
I stared at him.
“Hide a snow just, Miss Chen is a person magnanimous, guilty what?” Xie Hui wears a smile on the face, answer a way.
“I and Xie Childe are not villains, naturally there is no good guilty, right, Xie Childe?” My face look unchanged, leisurely opening. The
snow was getting heavier and heavier, and through the oil-paper umbrella, I could see the shadow cast by the snow on the umbrella.
Soon I arrived at the gate of the palace. There was only one carriage outside the gate. I recognized it. It wasn’t the Chen family. Surprised,
Xie Hui turned to me and said, “I just forgot to tell Miss Chen. I thought Miss Chen should go to play with the princess, so I let the carriage of the prime minister’s mansion go back first. I didn’t expect to meet her again. I’m really sorry.”.
“Then he looked at the only carriage and said,” The officials don’t go to court today. Why don’t you let Xie send the young lady back? “He was apologetic, but I saw at a glance that he was faking it. Although he felt guilty on his face, the smile in his eyes could not be hidden.
I looked at the snow falling from the sky. After so many years of etiquette teaching, if I couldn’t even smirk, I would be too sorry for the Mammy who taught me. I smiled sweetly at Xie Hui and said, “Thank you here.”.
“There was a charcoal brazier in the carriage, which was much warmer than outside, but it was airtight. After staying a little longer, I felt stuffy and my face was burning. Xie Hui saw me and opened the curtain of the carriage.”. Staring at his every move,
I opened my mouth for a long time and said, “Mr. Xie, if you have anything, you might as well speak frankly.”.
“Instead of answering me, he said to himself,” Is Miss Chen going to the General’s Office?
“I listened to this sentence can not help but feel funny, said:” I am now sitting in the carriage of General Xie, will the general give me the opportunity to choose?
“Xie Hui raised his eyes and looked at me seriously.” Miss Chen is very clever.
“” I’m no match for Mr. Xie.
“I laughed and said,” But I prefer being rich to being smart.
That word sounds like a good life.
“” Miss Chen is joking.
“I looked at the snow outside the curtain and stopped answering him.”.
In my last life, when I married to the General’s Mansion, I didn’t change the layout of the mansion, but I raised a lot of flowers and plants, opened a pond, and raised a lot of goldfish. I wanted to raise a few cats, but the General’s Mansion was too big, and there were too few people. The cats would be more lively.
But I don’t know who said that Xie Hui didn’t like this kind of animal with hair very much, so he gave up and raised goldfish instead.
I stepped out of the carriage, followed behind Xie Hui, and entered the door of the General’s Office. When I saw the scenery and buildings in front of me, I was stunned for a moment, not because I was touched by the scenery or anything, but because the General’s Office was so similar to what I had done in my previous life.
Enter the door not only opened the pond, even the location of the willow plants near the water is almost the same, “you..” I stammered for a long time, but I couldn’t say a word.
Xie Hui seemed satisfied with my reaction. He raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, “What does Miss Chen want to say?”.
“I steadied my mind and walked a few steps by myself. Xie Hui, holding an umbrella, saw that I was gone, so he had to change positions with me and follow me.”. Everything in the
yard was so familiar that I could not help looking at Xie Hui, who happened to be looking at me, with a look on his face that young people did not have.
I probably know that there are so many strange things in the world, and there is no reason why God only favors me.
He should also be reborn, but he should not know my situation, otherwise this test would not be necessary.
Xie Hui was still looking at me, as if he wanted to see any more clues from my face.
I laughed happily and said, “Naturally, I want to praise the layout of the General’s Office. General Xie can share the worries of the Zhou Dynasty abroad and manage the office in good order. It’s really amazing.”.
“” Does Miss Chen like the arrangement of the garden? “” It’s all right.
“I said frankly, then looked at the east side of the garden I had just passed, and said to Xie Hui,” General Xie’s peony should have been moved from somewhere else. In winter, protect it. The peony is delicate. Don’t be frozen. Miss
Chen likes peony very much?
“” Like it.
“” I wonder if Miss Chen liked the peony hairpin she gave her last time? “” Ah.
I patted my head.
“It was a gift from the general, but it must be Qingqing Shulu. I thought it was a gift from someone else. I put it in the library for her. As for what it was, I haven’t seen it yet.”.
“Xie Hui just wanted to say something, and then I opened my mouth:” General Xie should not work with a little maid, but the general rest assured, I will go back to blame her.
“My words are true, that velvet flower is indeed put in the bottom of the library, but not Qingqing put, but I threw in.”.
“Miss Chen said this, Xie Mou said something again, it seems that I am stingy.”.
“I pretended to look at the sky and said,” Mr. Xie, it’s getting late, and I should. Miss
Chen, don’t worry, it’s almost noon, Miss Chen should be hungry, the house has prepared food, Miss ate, Xie naturally sent you back, otherwise the general’s house reception is different, spread out, let people laugh.
“At this point, this meal can only be eaten,” I said with a smile. “It’s better to obey orders than to be respectful. The
dishes on the table are all my favorite in my previous life.
I think, if not in the general’s mansion, I must be a big meal, regardless of the image of the young lady, I picked up a glutinous rice dumpling, bite open, there is a sandwich, which is also mixed with honey.
I am not in the mood now, naturally feel bored, and even feel that it is not as good as the sour apricot without powdered sugar. At the
dinner table, Xie Hui was in high spirits. Even if I didn’t reply to him, he still said he was happy.
Suddenly, the door was opened, and in came Xie Hui’s personal guard, Ye Ming.
He whispered a few words to Xie Hui, and both the master and the servant looked at me in unison, and I knew that this was related to me.
Sure enough, Xie Hui opened his mouth, but the smile on his face disappeared. “Miss Chen is really the apple of the eye of the prime minister’s mansion. After a while, the prime minister’s mansion came to ask for someone.”.
“I secretly took a breath, since I knew that Xie Hui was also reborn, in order to stabilize my mind and calmly communicate with him, I also spent a lot of effort.”.
Xie Hui stood up, bowed his head and asked me, “Shall I see Miss Chen out?” “Thank you very much.
“I gave him a salute.”. Outside the
mansion, I saw the familiar carriage, and my heart suddenly settled down. Seeing me coming, my elder brother immediately stepped out of the carriage and pulled me aside, pulling away from Xie Hui: “General Xie is self-respecting.”. What did Mr.
Chen say? He was just inviting Miss Chen to come to your house.
“Then he turned to me and said,” See you later, Miss Chen.
Without waiting for my reply, he walked away and soon lost sight of his shadow. In the
carriage, the elder brother lost the fierce confrontation with Xie Hui and looked at me hesitating for a long time without saying a word.
I rubbed my dizzy head, took the lead in opening my mouth, and squeezed out a fairly decent smile on my face: “Elder brother, frankly speaking, this kind of appearance makes Ah Luan not quite fit in.”.
“When the elder brother heard my words, he simply stopped being coy and said directly,” Ah Luan, what is your attitude toward General Xie?
“” general attitude.
“So you don’t have any love for him?” The elder brother asked again. When
I heard this, my brain suddenly sobered up and I quickly denied: “Of course not.”.
“Then I thought it must be Xie Hui who said I was going to look for the princess. As a result, my elder brother misunderstood me when I went back to the house with him.”.
Then he quickly replied, “Don’t worry, brother. I, Chen Luan, will marry a dog or a chicken instead of General Xie in my life.”.
“It seemed that what he said was too unlucky. My elder brother hurriedly let me say a few words. He looked relieved and said grumpily,” You can rest assured that the prime minister’s mansion is behind you. It’s not enough to marry a dog or a chicken. At least you will marry someone.
“Brother!” The elder brother smiled, “I won’t make fun of you.”.
But Ah Luan, stay away from Xie Hui.
“He paused and said,” It’s not easy to thank him. I looked down on him before. The court has been in a mess recently. I’m afraid the General’s Office doesn’t want to cover up the sky in the capital.
“It occurred to me that he was a man of rebirth, had been in the court for a long time, and had power in his hands. It was easy for such an identity to make some waves. I had to answer in a low voice:” I know, brother.
“The elder brother changed the subject and asked,” Have you been very close to the Imperial Ministry recently? It
‘s all right. What’s wrong.
“” It’s nothing. It’s just that you’re in Xie Fu. It’s a report from the imperial department. Remember to prepare a thank-you gift later. Don’t be impolite.
I know, brother.
“I asked the servant to send a letter to Wen Fu, about Chu Chen to meet.”.
Wen Xuan and I are not familiar, but in my mind but can let the imperial department come forward, also need not think carefully, then only Chu Chen.
I went back to my room. I got up early today and experienced so many things. I was tired and went to sleep soon. What I have experienced on
this day is really like a dream, absurd and bizarre, but I have to accept it. When I
woke up in the middle of the night, there were still snacks prepared by Qingqing on the table. I should have slept deeply, so I didn’t call me. I was prepared to wake up and pad my stomach.
I sat alone at the table. There was a charcoal fire in the room. Qingqing was afraid that I would be stuffy when I slept at night. When I closed the window, I left a crack. The cool wind blew through the crack to my face. With the cold wind, I sat until dawn, and my mood calmed down a lot.
I made an appointment with Chu Chen in that restaurant, because I had already come once, and the coachman remembered the way, but to my surprise, although I arrived more than a quarter earlier, I pushed the door open, and Chu Chen was already sitting on the chair in the room.
Seeing me, he put away the fan he was playing with and said to me with a smile, “Long time no see, Miss Chen.”. Is
a day’s absence a long time?
“I answered him with a smile and sat down opposite him.”.
“Miss Chen’s words are not true. The ancients said that one day’s absence is like three autumns. So I haven’t seen you for several years.”.
“” Childe Chu’s crooked reasoning is the same.
“Chu Chen didn’t care about me and called the bartender up.”. Before
I could wait for him to speak, I quickly threw my purse on the table and said to the waiter, “This meal is on me.”.
The last meal was also invited by the girl.
“Chu Chen reminds me.”.
“Childe Chu said I was rich and powerful.”.
I think the girl is stupid and has a lot of money.
“” You.
。
。 Who
are you calling stupid?
“As I thought about it, I was scolded for no reason because I was not a relative.”.
“He invites you to go, Kui or the young lady of the prime minister’s mansion, the fox pretends to be a tiger, the affectation will not be, can not be silly.”.
“even if Chu Chen doesn’t name names, I know he’s talking about Xie Hui.”. I
can’t deny it, so I had to change the subject and open my mouth carefully: “Thank you yesterday, and the day before yesterday, but what are you? Do good deeds without leaving a name?” Chu Chen listened to this, opened the fan and put on airs: “Those reputations are useless to me. It’s better to give them to the girl. As for Xie, how is the girl going to thank me?
“I smiled and said,” What does Mr. Chu want?
“He thought for a moment.” Why don’t you find me a job?
“” Eh?
Both of my parents died when I was young, and I have been working in the Wen Mansion since I was sensible. I said to myself that I did my best, but the Wen family was really not good to me.
“He took a sip of tea and then went on to say,” I didn’t treat the girl as an outsider today. That’s why I got all my money out. I helped the girl before. The girl is so kind that she won’t sit idly by.
“I glanced at Chu Chen, who was sitting opposite. The material of his clothes was very good at a glance. The jade on his waist was even more snow-white. It was carved with ice. If he went out, he would not have to worry about food and clothing.”.
Chu Chen was born tall, and when he stood with Wen Xuan before, he looked more like a playboy than he did.
As far as Wen Xuan’s attitude toward him was concerned, even if the Wen family could not beat the dog, it would depend on the master, and it should not be much worse for him.
“Childe Chu’s lies are clumsy.”.
My eyes are full of smiles.
“This is the second time the girl has said that.”. The
second time?
“I don’t understand.”. It’s just
a joke. Girl, don’t you ask me where I want to go?
“Chu Chen raised his eyebrows and smiled.”.
“You can go anywhere you want, and the palace will be stuffed for you.”.
“I waved my hand carelessly.”.
I don’t want to go to the palace. I want to go to the prime minister’s mansion.
“Chu Chen took a sip of tea and answered crisply.”. Before I could swallow the shrimp dumplings in my
mouth, I choked. I didn’t quite believe my ears, so I had to confirm it again: “Where?”?
“It seems to be afraid that I can not hear clearly, Chu Chen deliberately slowed down the speed of speech, word by word repeated again:” The prime minister’s mansion, the girl will go back to the prime minister’s mansion later.
I forced a smile.
In this way, Chu Chen and I returned to the prime minister’s mansion.
The prime minister’s mansion is also big, and the flow of people changes like running water. It’s not difficult to insert a person. It’s just a coincidence that I met my elder brother on the way back to the mansion. Chu Chen said that I was a new bodyguard. Probably there are too many things I’ve experienced recently. My elder brother said that I did a good job and really needed personal protection. He asked Chu Chen a few words and agreed.
Qingqing was shocked at first, but she didn’t know what Chu Chen had bribed her, so she kept silent.
Everything went smoothly too far.
The New Year is about to pass, and I have returned to ordinary days, needlework, reading, and then piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Chu Chen accompanied me for a few days, and I felt his boredom.
That day, when I was practicing calligraphy in the study, he sat not far from me. The peanuts left at noon would be thrown in his hands. He accosted me: “Are you ladies so bored on weekdays?” I held the pen in my hand and said: “If you are bored, you can go to the garden and walk along the easternmost road. There should still be plum blossoms at the end of the place, white, pink and red. Go and see more before you thank me.
“He straightened up and said,” I asked the girl if she was bored. It
‘s all right. Be careful when you play with peanuts. Don’t throw them on the ground. As soon as
Chu Chen heard this, he immediately threw a peanut into his mouth, walked to my side, surrounded me from behind, and wrapped my hand holding the pen in his right hand.
I was so frightened that the ink of Mao Xiaojian in my hand dripped down and fainted on the rice paper.
“Chu Chen, what are you doing? I am now our master and servant.”.
“In my panic, I said quickly.”.
He and I are very close, with a good smell of incense, can not say, quite refreshing taste, at least I do not hate, I heard Chu Chen said: “teach their young lady to write, what can not?”?
“He stared at the words I had written before, and paused for a long time before saying,” Miss’s words are really … ” “What?”?
“My handwriting is not ugly, and I even rank high among the ladies of the family, so I really wonder what he will say.”.
“Like a chicken crawling.”.
“He was laughing, and I heard it.”. When I
heard this, I wanted to get up and have a good talk with Chu Chen, but he held my hand with great strength and was pressed down again. Instead of paying attention to me,
he began to write seriously, and I had to follow his strength to practice calligraphy.
This is not the first time I have seen his handwriting. I saw it on the note that invited me to the restaurant last time.
Chu Chen word such as the person, write a good word, really can afford a floating if you Hong, Jiao if Jinglong.
I think he is equal to teach my master.
I secretly scolded him for being a liar, or the kind of person who could not lie any more. How could a servant write such a word? “The young lady was very nervous.” He was very close to me, and the breath of his speech was near my ears, and there was some oxygen.
I turned my face slightly and could see the mole on his face. Although
he was talking to me, his hands continued to move and his eyes were fixed on the moving pen on the table.
It’s very focused. I’ve never seen it.
Chu Chen finished writing a word, then threw the pen on the table, also conveniently took the rest of the peanuts, went to the door, smiled and said: “Miss, see you later.”.
“Then he slipped out.”.
“Ah!” I was about to say something, but there was no trace of the figure. After he suddenly surrounded me, my mind was in a mess.
I only read the first two words, but I didn’t notice what he wrote any more.
Now that I was gone, I cast my eyes on the piece of rice paper again. There were several big characters written on the paper: Take the young lady out to play in the evening, OK? I couldn’t help laughing. No wonder he ran so fast just now. He didn’t even give me a chance to refuse.
At night, the night gradually fell, and there were still some clouds on the horizon, black and purple.
I was sitting alone in the pavilion when suddenly a familiar voice came from behind me, “Miss, how can I wait? I was delayed just now, and I came a little late.”.
“I turned around, Chu Chen’s face appeared in front of me, he looked at me, and then frowned:” Miss wear so little? “” Haven’t started to wait, you came.
I had just finished my meal and had not had time to return to the house. If the servant who cleaned the door saw me go out in my cloak, I might go to snitch on my mother again.
“I smiled and nodded at him.” If mother knew, you would lose your wages this month.
“Chu Chen Wen Yan, put on the body of the crane draped on my body:” If the young lady’s body to be frozen, this month’s wages I will not get.
It should be that Qingqing can’t get it.
“I smiled and said that the crane was still carrying Chu Chen’s body temperature. I was really much warmer. I looked at him and asked,” What about yourself? Aren’t you cold? “” Miss, take care of yourself. Don’t freeze. I’ve practiced martial arts. Miss Bi is certainly not afraid of the cold.
“I was speechless and had to ask him,” How can we get out? Be careful not to be found by my mother.
The young lady will know in a moment.
“Chu Chen made an unfathomable look.”.
I did know right away. I looked at the dog hole in front of me for a long time before I reluctantly asked, “Do you want me to get out of this?” “Yeah, why not?” He laughed.
“Don’t you know martial arts? People who know martial arts in the script should also know flying skills. Can’t you take me out directly?” I asked hurriedly.
“No, the young lady really read too much, no wonder even the master’s assignment also asked the servant to write.”.
“Chu Chen took away the last bundle of withered firewood that covered the hole, turned to look at me, patted the ashes on his hands, and said,” But the young lady thought of a way for me. She asked me to come here to see the plum blossoms. Is there anyone here on weekdays? It’s just a wall away from the outside. I cut down some bushes next to it and opened the hole. So the young lady can go out whenever she wants.
“He looked like he was only thinking about me. I almost lost my breath and smiled.” So thank you.
The young lady is polite. It is my duty to share the master’s worries.
“I looked at Chu Chen’s face unchanged smiling face, skin smile flesh does not smile, said:” Chu Childe first please.
“” Yes.
“He was straightforward, the hole was already open, and it was not good not to go, so I had to follow him out.”.
Already out of the prime minister’s mansion, to the street outside, I said to Chu Chen with a smile: “Chu Childe, do you know where I planted a good rose, you cut it is such a piece, Chu Childe, no, it is small Chen son, this young lady wants to deduct your wages.”.
Girl, have you ever heard the saying that those who do not know are innocent.
“Why don’t you call me Miss?” “Inside the house is Miss, outside the house is a girl.
“” You can tell the difference. Oh, don’t change the subject. The money will be deducted. Three taels of silver.
“My Chinese rose variety is rare, it is said that rare things are expensive, the price is also expensive, a plant will be three or two silver, Chu Chen cut me so much, to this number, should not be excessive, I think so.”.
“The girl is stingy, so why should she haggle with a servant?”. Inside the
mansion is a young lady, and outside the mansion is a girl.
“I smiled and gave it back to him.”.
The street was not as lively as the last New Year’s Day. After wandering for a long time, I found a shop with good workmanship. The proprietress of the
shop was enthusiastic, saying that even princesses and princes would come to buy a lot of things in their homes.
I smiled but did not answer, this shop’s things can only be regarded as good, can not be called wonderful workmanship.
Think of Zhou Xi that character, if not Liu Changqing gave her, she should not wear these in this life, a princess, wear the nature is excellent. The
shop was well stocked, and I walked around a few times, took a silver bracelet and a purse embroidered with several houses, and went to pay.
As soon as I walked out of the shop, I threw my purse on Chu Chen.
Chu Chen caught it, picked it up and looked at it. He asked suspiciously, “For me?” “For you.
The girl has a unique eye. She can’t embroider a house on an ordinary purse. I’m afraid she’s not the first customer.
“He laughed and teased me, but he also took the purse.”.
This purse suits you very well.
“” Well? “” Chen.
I knocked to wake him up. There are two
common explanations: one is a deep house, and the second is where the North Star is, which is the name of the throne and the emperor. When I
first heard the name of Chu Chen, I didn’t feel it. After all, the pronunciation of the word Chen was too much. Later, when I saw the word Chen, I felt it was really disrespectful.
Thinking of Wen Xuan’s reaction to his introduction at that time, he figured out the whole story.
Liar.
“I pointed at him and said with a smile,” Even the name is fake.
A complete liar.
“” Girl.
“Chu Chen voice soft down, but did not say the next sentence.”.
I looked at him for a long time. He still had the purse I gave him in his hand. I saw that he held it tightly.
Even if he lowered his head, it did not affect his handsome appearance in front of the wind.
Seeing that he did not finish his words, I asked, “Why don’t you speak?” Chu Chen smiled and resumed his usual expression: “The girl is smart and dare not speak. She is afraid that if she tells a lie carelessly, the girl will see it again. “
You don’t say I’m stupid now?” “The girl has never been stupid.
“He answered me with a smile, and his voice was faint, but I heard it clearly.”.
I was amused by his inconsistent confession, laughing and scolding: “Liar is a liar, nature is hard to change.”. Just then
, a vendor who was very close to us was ready to pack up and go home, and I noticed that it was getting late.
“Chu Chen, go home, later, mother should find out.”.
I smiled and pointed to the sky. It was dark
now, and only a few stars could be seen.
I and Chu Chen walked side by side, he suddenly asked me: “The girl is not curious I hide those things from the girl?” “Curious you will tell me?” I said, eyes will look ahead, should be almost, already can faintly see the shadow of the prime minister’s mansion.
Chu Chen seemed to be very satisfied with my answer. The smile at the corners of his mouth was like a bright moon in the sky. He said to me, “Maybe I promised to tell the girl.”.
“I walked straight ahead, not answering his words.”. It
was not until he reached the dog hole that he said, “You go in first.”.
“Chu Chen did not know why, but he did it obediently.”. When
I went in, unfortunately, my clothes were caught by a dead branch. I didn’t notice it at first, but I went straight into it and pulled off a small piece of cloth.
The torn fabric is the skirt, although it can not be found if you do not look carefully, but I still can not help but feel distressed for a long time.
Not because of how expensive it is, but because this dress is newly made, and today is the first time I wear it.
I put the crane on my body back to Chu Chen, patted him on the back of his clothes, and was about to help him tie the belt.
Chu Chen bowed his head and asked me, “The girl hasn’t answered my question yet.”.
“The night was dark, and I couldn’t see the tape clearly. I could only tie it by memory. As I tied it, I replied to him:” Just now you said that inside the house is a young lady, and outside the house is a girl. Miss Chen may be interested in your things, but Miss Chen won’t.
“I tied the belt, pulled away from him, and said with a smile,” Then I’ll give you the task of covering the hole again. Your young lady has gone back to the house.
“Even though the moonlight was dim, I could still see Chu Chen smiling, and the mole on his face was still faint, and he said to me,” Yes, Miss.
I think he’s really good-looking, and he looks good when he smiles.
I went back to the courtyard where I lived. The light in the room was still on, and the sound of playing the piano could be heard faintly. I knocked on the door. Three short and one long, the sound of the piano stopped. Then there was the sound of footsteps. The door was opened, and Qingqing’s head came out.
“Miss, you’re back.”. I really can’t play
this piano for a quarter of an hour, and my hands hurt.
“Then Qingqing stretched out her hand. I put my hand on her hand. Then I put my face close to her and blew at her fingertips. I said with a smile,” Qingqing has worked hard.
“Then I put the silver bracelet on her hand. Qingqing’s eyes lit up and she said,” Miss, is this for Qingqing? “I smiled and nodded her head.” Of course it’s for you.
“Then asked her:” Brother, they should not find it.
“” The young master’s wife came once, and the moon said that after listening at the door, she left, and Qingqing had been playing.
“Qingqing smirked and looked back at the silver bracelet. She shook it a few times and said,” Thank you, Miss. Qingqing likes it very much. “I have been practicing the piano since I was a child. Qingqing was influenced by what she saw and heard. When I had nothing to do, I would teach her some simple songs. Now I am a big help.
I smiled back to her: “You like it.”.
When I was ready to go to bed, there was a sudden sound of banging outside the door. Qingqing had been playing the piano for a long time today, and I had already sent her back to sleep.
It was very late, and I thought that it was only my mother who had come at this time, and that she should say something important to me. With this thought, I got out of bed again and opened the door.
To my surprise, it was not my mother who stood at the door, but Chu Chen.
He just looked at me with a smile, but he didn’t speak.
“What’s the matter?” I asked.
“I forgot something for the young lady.”. As he
spoke, he took out something wrapped in brown paper from his bosom, put it into my bosom, and ran away, closing the door by the way.
I opened the kraft paper, and I was familiar with the contents. When I opened it, sure enough, it was still a sour apricot.
I thought the things he gave me were all the same. It was so boring that I took one and put it in my mouth.
Not as sour as I imagined, but a little sweet after chewing a few times.
I looked carefully at the surface of the sour apricot, which was sprinkled with a thin layer of powdered sugar. There was a note
in it, very few words, only two.
The dragon flies and the phoenix dances, writing: Apologize.
I recall the appearance of Chu Chen just now, can not help but feel funny.
Winter goes and spring comes. Winter gradually passes and spring comes.
My father and brother seemed to be very busy, and sometimes they could even discuss political affairs in the study for several days.
Even Chu Chen is not as idle as usual, nor does he know what he is busy with.
However, Zhou Xi secretly told me that the court was in a mess now, and that the defense of the frontier might be lost.
She took me by the hand and said with a wry smile, “Luan Luan, it seems that I really can’t marry Changqing.”.
“If the frontier is really lost, it will only speed up the pace of marriage, if it is really unable to recover, for the royal family, marriage is often a common means to keep the country.”.
I thought, how could it be, Xie Hui fought so hard, although not to the myth of invincibility, but the name of the young general is not in vain.
He shouldn’t lose.
Last life did not lose, but why this life will be like this? I do not understand, looking at the red-eyed Zhou Xi, I feel a little distressed, but do not know what to say. There was a rustling sound of footsteps
outside the door, but no one came in. I patted Zhou Xi on the shoulder and went out.
Even if I didn’t see the face, I only saw the blue corner of the clothes, I knew that Liu Changqing was standing outside the door.
I looked at Liu Changqing with a smile, he stood there straight, some empty eyes, I asked him: “Come, why not go in?”.
“Instead of answering me, he asked me,” The princess is very sad. “” Yes.
Please comfort the princess for me. Princess, don’t be sad. It’s not worth it.
“When I heard this, I was puzzled and asked,” What do you mean? “He did not answer me, but said with a smile,” I am not the princess’s lover. She deserves better. I am just a painter. If the princess is with me, she has no future.
“I listened angrily:” How do you know you two have no future? “” Miss Chen, I ask you, if you eat delicacies every day, occasionally a coarse rice or something naturally feel strange, but who would want to eat hard to swallow coarse rice every day.
Princess, she was born to be a golden woman, and she shouldn’t give up her dazzling life for me.
She should have been born with a hairpin and beautiful clothes. Miss Chen, I lived in poverty for the first twenty years. I couldn’t even afford the hairpin she often wore. But she never complained. Miss Chen, I don’t want to let the daily necessities destroy her. If
she were with me, what would the people of the world think of her? Miss Chen, I know the princess doesn’t care about these false reputations, but I do. She is the best princess I have ever seen. Miss
Chen, you say, what’s the use of such an identity even if you like each other?
“He said with a smile in a calm tone, but I felt him trembling and trembling.”.
I suddenly remembered the three days when he was kneeling in the snow. The snow was very heavy that year, and the weather was very cold. It was a year when the snow was heavier than before.
I asked him, “What would you do if Zhou Xi went to marry her?” “If she is the beloved of the princess, I should bless her.
“But what if it’s not? If it’s really a marriage, the frontier is so far away, and the princess has golden branches and jade leaves. What if she is wronged? What if she cries?” I asked.
She was a princess of the Zhou Dynasty.
。
。
。
。 It won
‘t.
“Liu Changqing’s tone suddenly became tense, and he even stammered a little.”.
“Why not?” I lowered my voice. “Go in and accompany her. If you don’t want to make her sad, you should be more useful than me.
She kept telling me that she wanted me to be happy.
But I’m the same. She likes you very much.
Zhou Xi should be waiting for you. She’s so clever. I don’t believe she can’t guess it’s you. The guard at the gate has been sent somewhere else. Go in. It’s almost time. I should go back, too. Smiling,
I raised my hand to him and saw the blue disappear into the hall before I left.
Just out of the palace gate, I saw the familiar red figure, I complained not to send, hurriedly turned around and left.
Unexpectedly, Xie Hui saw me and rushed up and grabbed my sleeve.
“Miss Chen, what a coincidence to meet you again.”.
He said with a smile. When I
heard this, I did not hide from his eyes. I looked up at him, smiled and pointed to Xie Hui’s sleeve with the other hand. I said with a smile, “Mr. Xie is self-respecting.”. Instead of letting go of his grip,
Xie Hui got closer to me. I watched his face zoom in before my eyes, and then I felt a pain in my neck and fainted. When I woke up
again, it was the General’s Mansion, but it was not the small courtyard I lived in in my previous life, but the Floating Cloud Hall I gave to Ziyun.
It is the season when Chinese flowering crabapple blossoms, and I can see the bright red scenery outside through the window.
I was just about to go out of the gate, but I didn’t expect that eight guards at the gate would stop me.
Said I couldn’t get out of here without the general’s permission.
I laughed and thanked him for putting me under house arrest. But why? I have nothing to do with him in my life. Behind me is the prime minister’s mansion. Does his general mansion really want to cover up the sky with one hand. There were eight guards at the
door. I couldn’t get out. I had no way. Then I sat in the room and waited for him. The man who
delivered the meal came three times, but I didn’t even see the shadow of Xie Hui. I yawned as I
watched the sunset light fall from the window. It was so boring. To be honest, I was a little sleepy. In a daze
, I felt a man holding me from behind. I struggled, but he was so strong that I couldn’t break free. Then I felt him bury his head in my neck and say to me, “Luan Luan.”.
“It’s the voice of Xie Hui.”.
“Thank you for your self-respect. I am Miss Xiangfu. Let me go.”.
“Xie Hui didn’t answer me. He wrapped his fingers around my loose hair. I couldn’t see his face, but I recognized his smile. He asked me with a smile:” Luan, why are you shaking? “” Luan, are you afraid of me? “I didn’t answer him directly, but repeatedly said:” Mr. Xie respects himself and calls me Miss Chen.
“Xie Hui heard this, the tone began to become excited, out of control, holding my strength increased, as if to crush me, the hands can faintly see the blue veins, I can not help but eat a cry of pain.”. Instead of paying attention to me,
he chuckled and said to himself, “Luan Luan, why are you afraid of me?”.
“” I know you looked at me in the wrong way at the banquet on New Year’s Day. You were hiding from me, weren’t you? “” What are you hiding from me? Luan Luan, we are husband and wife.
“Xie Hui whispered behind me with a smile in his voice, but I only felt trembling and looked away from him subconsciously.”.
“Xie Gongzi jokes, New Year’s Day that is the first time we met, I have not seen Xie Gongzi before.”.
“I denied it.”.
Xie Hui put the thin strand of hair back on my head and said with a smile, “Luan Luan, you are used to being a liar, but you have too many flaws.”.
Luan Luan, I won’t believe anything you say now.
“You seem to be very close to that boy surnamed Chu? Luan Luan, do you like him?” I haven’t spoken yet, but the words are blocked back to my mouth.
Because I felt that Xie Hui’s face was closer to me, but it was only a minute away.
“Luan Luan, do you know who he is?” I did not answer him, he smiled happily, like a child.
“Luan Luan, be good. Don’t annoy me. I won’t be able to control myself.”.
Luan Luan, you look at me, I will let you be a phoenix, give me some time, I let you be a real phoenix.
“I turned my eyes to him and said with a smile,” Mr. Xie wants to put me under house arrest. “Xie Hui seemed very happy that I could ask him questions. He released me and spread out his hands with a smile. He said to me,” Luan Luan, you and I are husband and wife. The word “house arrest” is not appropriate.
“Xie Hui said a few words to me and then left me in the Hall of Floating Clouds. The hall was empty and the people were working in a hurry. No one talked to me. When I met someone who called me madam, I just felt sick and was not in the mood to talk to them.”.
Xie Hui told people that I was dead, and the reason for my death was very simple. I was kidnapped by kidnappers and thrown into the river. The maid who died
for me heard that she had been in the water for several days and was wearing my clothes. When she was salvaged, she was so swollen that she couldn’t even see her face clearly. She could only say that she was a lady of the prime minister’s family by her clothes.
I feel very guilty, that life, that living life is still so young, but because I died.
Xie Hui came to see me every day, but the time was not long. He was always very busy, asking me to wait, and always pretending to be affectionate. How well he acted, even the affection in his eyes could come out. When he looked at me, he seemed to have stars.
I think if I hadn’t personally experienced the darkness of those years and hadn’t seen the joy he brought back to Ziyun, I would have believed it.
I had thought that my father and brother could come home to me, but I once hid behind the door and listened to people in the corner, saying that it was a mess outside, and it was really a mess.
The frontier was broken, and the barbarians in the frontier brought the epidemic disease. The people were in a constant state of anxiety, and Xie Hui wanted to rebel.
I suddenly understood what he meant when he said he wanted me to be a phoenix that day. He didn’t want to be a general. He was ambitious. He wanted to be an emperor. He wanted power.
But I don’t want to be a phoenix in a cage. It’s not a phoenix, it’s a canary.
I’m a little worried about the situation at home. I’m worried about Qingqing, mother and father.
But also think of Chu Chen and elder brother in, and inexplicable peace of mind up, I want to have them in, even if Xie Hui again how, should also be able to take good care of them. It
suddenly occurred to me that when I married Xie Hui in my previous life, he was always fighting outside. At the beginning, I would have the posture of a little girl and blame him for not spending more time with me. But he would always hold me in his arms with a smile and say to me: “Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. Madam is considerate.”. At that time,
I really thought he was good, ambitious and concerned about the country.
He became much stranger, farther and farther away from the appearance of the young general in my memory, and could no longer overlap.
Xie Hui became more and more powerful in the court. He could even ask the emperor to send my father to the remote countryside where I knew he was an official. The epidemic was so serious outside, and my father was so old.
Xie Hui comes to me every day to comb his hair, draw his eyebrows and lips.
I remember that it was the first time I begged him. That day I begged Xie Hui not to let my father leave Beijing. He smiled but did not say anything. He just held my face and stroked the tears from my face. He said to me, “Luan Luan, Miss Chen Luan of the prime minister’s family has died. Have you forgotten that it was just a month ago?”.
“His tone was casual, but I understood that he didn’t want it.”.
I looked at him in disbelief. I felt that I had never hated him so much for a moment. He said he loved me, but he couldn’t love me, love my dog. Even his so-called love involved my family. I didn’t
cry anymore. I looked up and asked him with a smile: “General Xie, good things come in pairs. Do you still remember Miss Ziyun? Or marry her?” He couldn’t bear to see me mention Ziyun. He immediately became excited. The more excited he was, the more I wanted to laugh. My laughter seemed to stimulate him.
He gave me a slap, and it was burning. I was slapped for the first time in my
life, in my previous life. I held back my tears and looked up at Xie Hui, who was staring absently at the hand he had just slapped me with.
He began to stammer like a child and said to me, “Luan Luan, I.”.
。
。
I.
。
Not on purpose.
“” Luan Luan.
。
Luan Luan.
。
。
Are you in pain? “I began to be hysterical and told him to get out. Xie Hui also did it one by one. He didn’t come to me for the next few days, but the ladies around her came frequently. They sent good plasters, greasy food and unusual gadgets to amuse me.”.
In just three days, a table was piled up.
I do not want these, I just feel that Xie Hui did not come to me these days, is my most peaceful life in the General’s Office, so I think, I feel that this slap is not a loss. It was a hot and dry summer day when
I escaped from Xie Hui. He locked me up from spring to summer and treated me more leniently than at the beginning. He still refused to let me out of the General’s Office, but he did not limit my activities to the Hall of Floating Clouds.
He likes to dress me up gorgeously, obviously already dressed luxurious enough, but he insisted on putting a peony on my head.
I looked at myself in the mirror, like a puppet, and thought it was tacky. I smiled at him and smashed the mirror in front of him.
Throw it on the ground and say to him, “If only I had just hit you in the face, I would be very happy.”.
“I smiled at him, laughing until the flowers trembled. Soon, as expected, I felt that he pinched my neck with great strength. I was almost out of breath. In a short time, he left red marks on my neck. But afterwards, he couldn’t help apologizing to me and said to me,” Luan Luan.
“Do you think this is funny? I’m going crazy.”.
He held many grand banquets for me, all in the name of the General’s Office and in the name of Xie Hui.
He seemed to think that I would like these lively things very much. He
even called Zhou Xi to accompany me.
I thought it was funny that on the outskirts of the capital, not far from us, waves of refugees were coming, and the people were crying.
His power was so great that he even held the banquet in the palace. I lost my temper when I was going out to sober up. I dismissed the two guards who were following me. They probably thought I wouldn’t run away. There were a lot of people at the gate of the palace. Thank you for expecting that I would never run out.
As long as I don’t have a bad temper with him, he always tolerates me a lot and makes me happy.
But who would have thought that the largest lake in the palace led to the moat outside, and when I talked and chatted with Zhou Xi, I would be watching people, and every word would not be conveyed back to my ears.
Zhou Xi slipped me a note and hid it under the teacup. I unfolded it carefully, only to see that it said, “You can get out of the lake in the center of the Imperial Garden. Luan Luan, run.”. When
I looked up, Zhou Xi was smiling at me. I had never been so helpless. If I left, I don’t know if Xie Hui would vent his anger on this kind little princess. I’m not the only
one treading on thin ice.
Zhou Xi smiled so lovely, she made a mouth shape to me, I understood, she said: “Luan Luan, you want to be happy.”. Holding back my tears,
I calmed down and tried to smile back to her, saying, “Thank you, Zhou Xi.”.
“She did not speak to me, but held my hand more tightly as before, shaking her head at me, the hairpin on her head shaking.”.
I see. Xie Hui’s man is right behind our door.
Imperial Garden, I looked at the lake, the surface of the water is quiet, not a wave of ripples, calm and frightening.
I closed my eyes, silently counted three, two, one, and then jumped down without hesitation. At the moment when I was submerged by the
water, I skipped the shadow of many people in my mind, just like when I died in my previous life.
But this time more than a Chu Chen, I miss the lachrymal mole in the corner of his eyes, miss his playful smile, miss his sour apricot without sugar powder.
I thought a lot of things, I do not understand, I did not do anything wrong, but love a wrong person, this is not a wrong thing in my eyes, but suffered such a big crime, I think impassability.
I woke up in a strange environment, and I was found and saved.
Said to save, but with the script can not be the same, they just used a broken net to fish me up, did not care about me.
The women all said, “I’m so lucky.”.
I also feel that the moat outside the capital has a large number of people floating on it every day, most of them are dead.
Every day, someone would go to salvage a few people. If there were too many people in the river, there would be no water to drink.
It is the rainy season. It rained a lot
recently. Unfortunately, it didn’t bring cool after the rain. I could only feel the sultry heat. I was used to it at ordinary times, but I didn’t feel much bad smell. But when it rained, the bad smell burst out at once, like the smell of rotten meat mixed with mud. I couldn’t stand it and vomited many times.
Sometimes when I have nothing to cushion my stomach and can’t sleep, I will take advantage of the moonlight to look around, look at all kinds of things, look at the long moat that brought me here, look at the grass and trees around me, look at my own hands.
Just a few days, my hands were worn out blisters, summer is the most difficult, now there is no ointment to give me, I suddenly miss my mother and Qingqing, I think they will be very distressed to see me like this.
I met a lot of people, all of whom I had never seen before. There were a lot of cruel people. I was thrown stones, joked and called a woman.
But I also met a mother-in-law who was very kind to me.
She took me to eat my food and taught me to recognize wild vegetables.
Even in such an environment, she is always smiling.
When I asked her what her name was, he said that her parents had sold her when she was very young. Her parents didn’t give her a name, only the name left by her former host, which was “Jinse”. She said that she knew at a glance that I had learned well in my previous days. She didn’t look like a worker. She told me to tear myself up. She said to me with a smile, “Baby, there will be fewer people bullying you.” People here are bad. Ignore them.
“I think she is really a very good person, they are willing to get up with her, slowly also know some stories about her, she was in a town rich merchant home when the wet nurse,” brocade “the name is also taken by the host family, she said that the family is kind, she is old, also did not drive her away, read the old love to raise her, Only later in the war, the enemy came, and her legs and feet were not flexible, so she got separated from them. When she
told me about it, she had a kind look on her face, and her brown eyes reflected the moat not far away. I thought her name was really nice.
If he did, he would read it to her. “The brocade harp has fifty children for no reason, and one string and one pillar think of Hua Nian.”.
It was a poem I learned when I was a child. My father taught me it, and I remember it until now.
She smiled and praised me for my cleverness, saying that the previous lady had read it to her. She asked me what my name was, and I answered and wrote “Chen Luan” on her hand.
“She had calluses on her hands, and my fingertips were rough.”.
She replied that my name sounded good, and then sighed that she was a servant, illiterate, and asked me what my name meant. Smiling,
I leaned on the mother-in-law’s arms and said, “Chen is my surname. As for Luan, it’s a bird. It’s a very big and beautiful bird.”.
“She smiled and nodded my head and said,” The bird is good, free and flying high.
In order not to let Xie Hui find me, I smeared a lot of coal ash on my face and looked at myself through the puddles on the ground after the rain.
I don’t think even Qingqing can recognize me now. I’m like a beggar.
My body is not good, and I can’t rob others, so I can only pick up some things to eat with my mother-in-law in the corner, and I haven’t used the skill of recognizing wild vegetables several times.
I have gnawed the bark and eaten the Guanyin soil.
I used to eat good food, but suddenly it changed so much that my stomach couldn’t stand it and I often woke up in the middle of the night with pain.
Every few days a new wave of officers and soldiers would come to patrol, but they were not close to us. They just gathered us together. They stood much higher than us and looked down at us. I knew they were afraid of us. They were afraid that we would go crazy.
But so afraid, several times the few relief porridge is as thin as water, the rice in the bowl can be counted clearly on the fingers, every day people here will have rumors that tomorrow the court will burn us all.
I was afraid at first. I was not afraid of death, but of being burned by fire. I heard people say that if I was burned to death, I would not see the people I wanted to see when I went to hell.
To be honest, I didn’t expect to see Chu Chen again, and I didn’t expect him to recognize me when I was like this.
That day, early in the morning, people were shouting, the bowl in their hands was full, and the rice soup that spilled out carelessly was licked with their tongues.
I was so abruptly woken up.
I looked around and grabbed my bowl. Seeing that my mother-in-law didn’t wake up, I took her bowl with me. I have nothing to eat
recently. My mother-in-law is old, and she always protects me before. Recently, she has become more and more sleepy. I
always have a bad feeling in my heart, but I dare not think about it. I can only hope that the bowl of thick porridge can save our lives. There was a long queue
for porridge, and it was almost noon when I got there.
I handed over the two bowls, but the people on the opposite side didn’t pick them up. I looked up at them.
“One person, one bowl. If you don’t give me too much, why do you take so much?”.
“When I heard this, I was in a hurry.” No, it’s not just mine, “I explained.” I have a woman. The one with a gap in the bowl is hers.
“” That’s no good either. Tell her to do it herself. Others won’t count it.
“The man who ladled the porridge looked at me and said impatiently.”.
“But I.”.
。
。
。
。
“I stammered and couldn’t say a few words for a long time. After a long delay, the people behind me began to make trouble.”. My
face was restless, but I didn’t want to take a step away.
“Wang Wu, please scoop it up for her.”.
“a voice came into my ears, I can’t believe it, eyes can’t help but look along the direction of the voice, it’s Chu Chen! I looked up to see him, he was dressed better than when he was working in the prime minister’s mansion, wearing a purple civilian clothes, the other on his waist was the purse I sent him before, it looked a little nondescript, his hair was tied up high by a jade crown.” Smile in the eyes.
The lachrymal mole is very clear in the corner of the eye.
I think it’s really like the play in the script. It’s noon again, and he’s carrying the light on his back. The whole person seems to be coming out of the light.
I looked down at myself and didn’t open my mouth to call him. The man that
calls Wang Wu listened to what Chu Chen says, also say what no longer, said to Chu Chen: “Be, Ye.”.
“He lowered his head to scoop porridge for me.”.
I took the porridge and looked up at him. He happened to be looking at me, too. Then he came to me and took the porridge for me. He said to me with a smile, “See you soon, girl.”.
“Everything was so normal, but I could hear that his voice was shaking.”.
I was stunned and didn’t quite believe it.
Xie Hui sent so many people to look for me every time, wave after wave, but he didn’t recognize me. He recognized me at a glance.
Seemed to see my doubts, Chu Chen answered me: “The girl’s eyebrows and eyes have not changed, her voice has not changed, the fourth finger of her right hand and the mole on the back of her hand have not changed, and the mole on the girl’s hand is special, not a black mole, but a red mole.”.
“Seeing my shock, he smiled and smoothed my frizzy hair, and then went on to say,” I guess the girl herself didn’t even notice it. I saw it when I was writing with the girl that day.
We never thought you were dead.
We’ve been worried about you, Qingqing, your brother, your parents, and me.
We have been waiting for you.
I’ve been looking for you for a long time, Wan Luan. Smiling like a child,
he held me in his arms, buried his head in my shoulder, and said to me, “After looking for you for so long, I finally found you.”.
“My face is hot, do not know how to reply to him, he can only say:” You get up quickly, I am covered with coal ash, can be dirty and ugly.
“Without looking up, he said with a smile in his voice,” The coal ash is not worth the beauty of the girl. Luan Luan is beautiful without knowing it.
“I felt my face getting hotter and hotter and said,” Get up quickly. If you throw that bowl of porridge on me, I will scold you. Instead of
talking to me, he hugged me more tightly.
I was in his arms, and all I could see was the smell of him. Just then
, my stomach cried out at the wrong time. I stuck out my tongue at Chu Chen, half embarrassed and half laughing: “I’m hungry.”. Then
he released me and motioned for me to drink the porridge first. I shook my head at him and said I would wait.
Chu Chen smiled, took off the shoes on his feet and told me to put them on.
I brought him to my mother-in-law, where we slept.
There was nothing, and it was covered with hay.
My mother-in-law remained motionless in the position I had left before.
I am a little panic, hurriedly ran to her side, called her mother-in-law, I have been shouting, but no one back to me, I quickly took her hand, can not help shaking, very cold.
It seems that there is no temperature, I no longer call her mother-in-law, but call her Jinse.
But call again many times, she also won’t rise to call me again: “doll”.
I put my finger to the tip of her nose, and there was no breath. I did it several times, and I believed that she was really dead.
I was out of breath and tears flowed down.
I suddenly remembered the first time I met my mother-in-law. At that time, I had only been here for a few days, and I still had a bit of a young lady’s temper. I was often bullied and did not speak back because of the young lady’s face. It was my mother-in-law who was kind enough to relieve me and help me scold back.
I didn’t have a bowl to eat. My mother-in-law gave me the bowl she used. It took her a long time to find the broken bowl with a small gap. No matter what she said to her mother-in-law, she refused to change it back with me.
I want to burn something for her so that she can remember me and herself.
I looked up and saw Chu Chen standing silently behind me all the time. I asked him, “Do you have a pen and paper?”?
He nodded. In this way,
I have been writing, from noon to dusk, and from dusk to evening, writing densely, but all of them are the same line of the poem: “Fifty strings of brocade harp for no reason, one string and one pillar think of Hua Nian.”.
“At the end, I signed my name, Chen Luan.”.
I think I wrote it on her palm many times. Not long ago, she looked at that similar appearance and would not forget me.
Chu Chen has been accompanied by me, behind also learn me to write, the signature of the fall is not Chu Chen, the surname of the fall is Zhou, all over the world, with the same surname, and can be crowned with the word Chen, can only be the prince who has not yet returned to Beijing.
I looked up at him.
We wrote a lot of pieces, stacked together with a thick pile, and wrote that the paper brought by Chu Chen was not enough.
He writes better than me, and I think if my mother-in-law sees it, she will like it better.
I looked at Chu Chen’s side face, and when I looked at him, I could just see the moat not far away.
“Call you Chu Chen or Zhou Chen or Prince?” I didn’t wait for him to answer and asked him with a smile, “Chu Chen, are you very powerful now?
“He turned to look at me. His hands were dizzy from a few drops of ink. He looked at me and said to me,” I’ve always been good. Will
you do me a favor?
“” Eh?
Help me bury my mother-in-law in style, OK? I won’t go because I’m afraid I’ll shed tears and make my mother-in-law laugh. The funeral should be big, but not too big. The ceremony and music should be loud, but not too loud. Don’t be too lively. She will feel noisy if it’s too lively.
“When I said this, I also felt funny, as if I was making trouble out of nothing, so I said,” Do you think I look like a young lady who makes trouble out of nothing?
“Chu Chen shook his head and said,” No, it all depends on you, and you are a young lady. Is it also
in front of Zhou Chen?
“I got a satisfactory answer, grinning and garrulous with him, regardless of whether it was disrespectful to call the prince directly.”.
“Prince has not yet returned to Beijing, in front of you has been Chu Chen.”.
“As he spoke, he sorted out some of the loose paper for me.” Luan Luan, can you also answer me and do me a favor? What can
I do for you?
“I’m smiling.”.
Luan Luan, come home with me.
“” Yes.
“I looked at him and repeated,” Chu Chen, I’ll go home with you.
“The capital is closely checked, the city gates are strictly guarded, and the carriages coming and going are checked one by one.”.
I asked Chu Chen how he knew I was in the refugee camp outside Beijing. Smiling,
he pointed in the direction of the palace and said, “In the palace, his sister Zhou Xi.”. Outside the
palace, there is a painter named Liu Changqing.
“I suddenly remembered that Zhou Xi had told me quietly that the royal family would raise pigeons for flying pigeons to pass on books, but few people knew about it. There were many birds near the palace, all kinds of birds, and pigeons were the most.”.
In the past, I didn’t understand why this was. It was said in the capital that it was raised by a certain emperor’s favorite concubine. The emperor raised a lot of birds for the empress named Jinfei, who could not be driven away by spirituality.
At that time, I also said that it was very elegant, because birds could fly, and it was very troublesome to manage.
But after Tongxi secretly told me about it, I realized that it was a way to confuse the public.
Liu Changqing court painter is a sinecure, can enter the palace at will without jurisdiction, if Chu Chen has trusted followers in the capital, communication should not be a problem.
I hid under the seat of the carriage, and the man who checked was lazy. It was night again. He just lifted the curtain of the carriage, looked at the people, and let us in.
Chu Chen did not take me directly to the place where he lived. He took me to a clothing shop and threw the purse embroidered with the house on the table. He said, “Pick at will.”.
The purse was so heavy that when it was thrown on the table, it made a solid noise. The owner of the
shop looked straight at me, and even if I was dressed in rags, it was like a spring breeze when facing us.
Also tease me and Chu Chen match, Chu Chen a very useful look, gave the shop more tips.
Maybe it’s because I’ve been carrying my heart for too long, and I feel tired as soon as I put it down.
I was in Chu Chen’s yard and had a high fever that night. When
I woke up in a daze, I wanted to turn over, but I felt that the quilt was too heavy to pull up. As soon as
I saw it, it turned out that Chu Chen had fallen asleep on the edge of the bed.
He should have been guarding me for a long time, I just had a movement here, Chu Chen woke up, saw me awake, hurriedly asked me if I was uncomfortable, asked me if I ate anything, and said that I had been wronged some time ago so that I could not figure it out.
I thought about it for a while before I realized that I should be talking in my sleep. My mother-in-law had told me before that I would talk in my sleep at night when I just met my mother-in-law. It was nothing more than, “Thank you, get out.”.
Let me go! Leave me alone.
。
。
。
“Something like that.”.
I looked at Chu Chen with a face of self-reproach and answered him with a smile: “No grievance, you are not me to me.”.
“Then he put his hand on Chu Chen’s face and stroked the lachrymal mole in the corner of his eye with his thumb. He said,” Chu Chen, I’m hungry. I want to eat dried apricots. Give me more sugar. Don’t play tricks on me. I don’t like sour food. You’ve just recovered from your
illness. Eat something light. I’ll ask the kitchen to cook porridge for you.
But I just want to eat dried apricots.
“” No.
Please, I’m just well. Take care of me.
“Chu Chen looked at me and sighed with compromise:” You drink porridge first, and I’ll buy it for you after drinking.
“” Yes.
“I looked at him with a smile. I put my hands on his face and gave him a smile with my hands.” Chu Chen, don’t have a sad face. It’s none of your business. Thank you very much. You smile. You look good when you smile.
“I stayed in this courtyard of Chu Chen for four days. Chu Chen always looked very busy. He only left me a sentence that my father and brother were well and would return to Beijing in the near future. Zhou Xi would arrange people there to reassure me.”.
Since I recovered from my illness, I have rarely seen his figure, and sometimes there will be people in the yard, but they are all looking for Chu Chen to talk about things.
I also understand that he is not only Chu Chen now.
But on the morning of my fifth day here, when it was still early, I heard a knock at the door. I
still feel strange in my heart that the person who delivered the meal today was so blind and came so early. When I
opened the door, I didn’t think that Chu Chen was standing outside the door. With a trace of tiredness on
his face, he said he wanted to curl his hair for me. I saw that he was tired and wanted to refuse, but Chu Chen insisted on his face. I couldn’t resist him, and I thought I hadn’t seen him for a long time, so I agreed.
Even though I felt his caution, I accidentally hurt him many times. Have you ever tied up a girl’s hair
before?
As he inserted the hairpin into my bun, he answered me, “No, Luan Luan is the first one.”.
Then he lowered his head and asked me, “Did it hurt you?”?
Luan Luan.
“I looked at the shaky hair in the bronze mirror. It was very simple. The whole head was supported by a hairpin. I pointed to the hairpin and said,” No, you should insert it higher. It’s going to fall apart.
He responded with a smile and said yes.
I stared straight at the bronze mirror and asked, “But Chu Chen, where did you learn this hairstyle? How can I look familiar?”.
“Chu Chen is arranging his” work “at the same time, say triumphantly at the same time:” You have seen for certain.
The mother-in-law who sells dried apricots seems to be like this.
”。
。
。
。
。
。 There is a big difference between a
woman’s hairstyle and a girl’s hairstyle. Although I have tied up a woman’s hair, I was the wife of the General’s Office in my previous life. I have never tied up the hair style of ordinary people in my life. The corners of
my mouth could not help pumping, said: “Chu Chen, I just reached.”.
I know.
“Chu Chen shrugged his shoulders.”.
Then he looked at me and said, “This is not very nice.”.
“I noticed that he raised the corners of his mouth and said,” Chu Chen, you did it on purpose! “” This is simple. Besides, Luan Luan is naturally beautiful. Everything is beautiful.
“When I heard this, I lost most of my anger, and finally I just said angrily,” You are so eloquent and glib.
“Chu Chen seems to be in high spirits today, not going anywhere, just accompanying me.”.
I don’t want to live up to this pleasure, but there is nothing to show around, and the blisters on my hands have almost disappeared, so I want to say that I can play a piano, just as Chu Chen hasn’t heard me play it yet.
I told Chu Chen, but he insisted that my hand injury was not good, and so on to raise first.
I had no choice but to ask him, “Then what are you going to do?” “Let’s play chess. I haven’t played chess with a girl yet.
Previously, when I was working in the mansion, I had played chess with Luan Luan’s elder brother. The style of chess was so fierce that I could draw. I think Luan Luan would not be worse.
“Chu Chen smiled and looked sincere:” Brother Chen only asked me to play chess with you more than once, but he never had a chance. He said that Luan Luan was bold and had a unique style of chess. He didn’t have a chance before, but now he has a chance. Luan Luan appreciates it.
“When I looked at him, I didn’t look like I was lying. I must have taken my brother’s words seriously. I complained in my heart. I had already scolded my brother a million times.”.
I am on Chu Chen’s eager eyes, not good to refuse, in the heart with a wry smile hesitated for a long time, very not easy to hold back a few words: “Are you sure?”?
“” Well, what is it?
“Chu Chen listened to my words, the eyes are puzzled.”. Seeing that things had come to this point,
I simply broke the pot and said indifferently, “Don’t do anything. I said I was going to play chess. Come on.”.
“Chu Chen invited me to sit on the table outside the yard and ordered people to take the chessboard and chess pieces.”. After
a few games, I found that Chu Chen’s face was not good. I knew that I was not good at chess, so I had to laugh: “What is the evaluation of Chu Childe?”?
“Chu Chen held Bai Zi in his hand and looked at the chessboard. He gritted his teeth and answered me,” Luan Luan’s chess is really unique.
“My face was ashamed, and I was about to push the chessboard away.”.
But heard Chu Chen still said: “Luan Luan, another game.”.
“I looked at the sun hanging in the sky. It was almost noon. Then I looked at the black and white chessboard on the table. We had played twenty-three games.”.
“Chu Chen, still under ah?”?
I don’t want to go down.
“I pointed to my eyes and said earnestly,” After so many games, my eyes are blurred! ” “That’s not enough, or I’ll accompany you to go out for a stroll. Before I heard Qingqing say that you like that dream Rouge shop very much. I’ll accompany you to buy it.”?
It is Ruomeng who is coming.
“I am close to Chu Chen, he does not hide, I am more than half a foot away from him, and I can even hear the sound of his breathing.”. Why are
you so free today?
I’ve always been free. Luan Luan, did you just find out.
“Chu Chen’s face does not change.”.
“You are very free today.”.
“I cleared my throat and said,” You’re busy these days.
Besides, no one goes out at noon when the sun is shining. “” Then go out in the evening, Luan Luan, I want to accompany you.
“I put my hand on his mouth, blocking his words:” Chu Chen, you lie, oh, your lying skills are really poor, worse than my chess, the prince will return to Beijing, right? “Chu Chen was stunned, then put his hand on my head:” Luan Luan is smart, but worse than your chess, it seems that it is hopeless.
“” The prince came back, that Chu Chen? “I blurted out, the words have been finished, just feel this words said childish.
Chu Chen couldn’t help laughing and said to me, “Luan Luan, no matter how high and free a phoenix can fly, it must have a place to perch.”.
“He pointed to the purse I had given him at his waist, and then said,” a strange combination of circumstances, Luan Luan, in my opinion, my Chen never takes the meaning of the emperor.
“I was shocked by his explicit words, and my face could not stop burning.”.
Chu Chen realized the change of my expression, slightly retreated a little, inexplicably came to a sentence, “Luan Luan, do you want to swing?”?
“I was asked a little confused, but still can not help but ask:” Why ask, here to repair the swing.
“Living here these days, Chu Chen lives in this place to come and go a lot of people, mostly men, should be to discuss business.”.
Although I will not come to the courtyard where I live, in order to avoid suspicion, I seldom go out of the courtyard.
As for the matter of swinging, I liked it very much when I was a child. The prime minister’s mansion also built a swing, which was in the middle of the road where Chu Chen went to open plum blossoms that day.
Chu Chen opens a mouth: “repaired, I take you to go?”?
“Now that I’ve said that, I’m uncomfortable if I don’t agree, and I really haven’t played on the swing for a long time, so I agree.”.
“Yes.”.
I got up, stood up, said: “Now go, swing back to eat, or the sun will soon come up that strength, very poisonous.”.
But by the way, I didn’t expect Chu Chen to like swinging.
“I chattered, and even I felt a little noisy.”.
I think I really don’t have the shadow of my mother in the past.
Chu Chen walked in front of me, did not answer my question, just nodded my head. A swing was indeed built
here, but in a very remote place, it was a wooden board with a length of forearm and two thick hemp ropes, which was probably the simplest swing I had ever seen. As soon as I saw that no one had sat on the
swing for a long time, there were a lot of ashes and dead leaves. I went up and patted them.
Shoot almost, then directly sat up, there is no Miss’s appearance.
I shouted to Chu Chen, “Chu Chen, what are you doing? Come and push me.”.
“Chu Chen came over with a smile and did it one by one.”.
This swing doesn’t look very good, but it swings high. I’ve never made a swing that can swing so high. I can’t help holding the hemp rope tightly in my hand.
The weather is already hot, even if the wind blowing on the face is warm, but all of a sudden still feel a lot cooler.
“isn’t Luan Luan afraid?”?
“Chu Chen suddenly came to a sentence that I thought was very unpleasant.”.
I am having a good time, was asked not to know why, thinking, his swing is here in Chu Chen, he will not break, I swing naturally can not break, what is there to be afraid of.
See I do not answer him, the strength of Chu Chen’s hand is bigger.
Just then, I heard the voice of Chu Chen’s abuse coming from behind me.
“Luan Luan.”.
“” Huh? “” I never swing.
“When I heard this, I felt a chill in my heart and immediately said,” Put me down.
“Chu Chen laughed loudly and said,” No, the girl is sitting down.
”。
。

In the evening, he accompanied me to go shopping. I didn’t have many opportunities to go out of the house before. When I was a child, I had the most fun, but it was also the time when my mother was the most strict. I often went out of the house secretly during the holidays or found excuses. I wore a veil on my
face, covering most of my face, showing only my eyes and eyebrows. I didn’t like this kind of thing, but Chu Chen told me to take it with me. He said Xie Hui was still looking for me and told me to be careful. After hearing this,
I was afraid and said directly, “Then I won’t go out.”.
“One more thing is better than one less thing. Besides, Rouge is not something you have to buy. After so many years in the prime minister’s mansion, as the only apple of my parents’ eye, the Rouge and gouache I saved can be worth half a small shop.”.
Chu Chen is indifferent to the appearance, did not pay attention to what I said, while covering the veil on the lower half of my face, carefully tied, tied a knot, and then opened his mouth.
It’s a big deal. It’s a big deal to have a fight.
“Can you beat so many people?” I raised my eyebrows.
“Heroes and beauties, for the sake of Luan Luan, are naturally willing to fight.”.
“Chu Chen’s face suddenly enlarged in front of me, I can see my shadow through his pupils, he seems to want to see a little blush heartbeat from my face, in order to tease me.”.
Chu Chen’s behavior was so childish that I couldn’t help laughing and said, “Don’t take out the embroidered pillow. Don’t be ashamed.”.
“I haven’t forgotten that he took me to climb the dog hole. If he was really strong in martial arts, why would he have to drill the dog hole? Just fly directly and then climb the eaves and walls to take me home.”.
It’s a pity that my flowers are very delicate.
Think of this, I can not help but complain of a look at Chu Chen, he smiled to avoid my eyes.
The street is not as busy as before, many shops are not open, but we still stroll for a long time, snack stalls opened more, I bought a lot. There were not many pedestrians
on the street, but not too few. I thanked the officers and soldiers under my patrol in the city for passing by me several times.
At first I was nervous, holding Chu Chen’s sleeve and not letting go. After several
patrols, I found that the patrolman was very lazy and did not recognize me even if he held my portrait in his hand. It was just a form of walking, perfunctory. I caught a glimpse of the portrait from a distance. It was me, but it was not like me now. It was the appearance of my former son or the wife of the General’s Office. It was obviously serious makeup. But I am smiling again, smiling brightly. There was also a gorgeous peony on
his head, which looked neither fish nor fowl.
I swore in a low voice, “It’s so vulgar.”.
“Chu Rong also saw, only to hear him smile and say:” I didn’t expect Luan Luan to be like this in the eyes of others.
“I loosened his sleeve and stuffed all the snacks I had just bought into Chu Chen’s mouth, scolding,” What you eat can’t stop your mouth.
“I bought all the soft things, to Chu Chen mouth stuffed too much, he can not speak, there is a rabbit-like Baozi Stuffed with Red Bean Paste still half exposed outside.”.
My tone is soft: “Chu Chen, you do not move.”.
He nodded suspiciously.
I took the ice-sugar gourds in my hand to my mouth, opened my mouth, bit two and held them in my mouth.
Then I put the end of the blunt stick I had bitten into the Baozi Stuffed with Red Bean Paste, and the ice-sugar gourds, though barely standing, was about to fall.
I say to him: “Take some, did not drop, this is this young lady rewards you.”.
“Chu Chen was afraid of dropping the ice-sugar gourds, so he had to reach out and hold the stick.”.
I want to spit those out of my mouth.
I was the first to open my mouth: “Chu Chen, how rare it is! The daughter of the prime minister’s mansion is feeding you.”.
“His mouth was slurred, but I knew he was gnashing his teeth and calling me,” Chen Luan.
“I laughed and ran away.”. I haven’t done such a trick for a
long time. It’s really rare. There are still occasional hawkers
on the street, which is obviously such a lively image of fireworks.
But I suddenly feel a little sad, I think, if only Qingqing, Zhou Xi, mother-in-law.
Qingqing would still ask me to take her out of the house secretly and beg me to buy her some small things and snacks.
Tongxi will still whisper with me, and the warm girl can never hide her affection for her sweetheart, because Liu Changqing’s words decide her joy and anger.
My mother-in-law will still lead me away with a smile. If she is still here, I will take her away. I will take her to eat the best shrimp dumplings in the capital. The shrimp dumplings are very fresh. I can eat a cage at a time. My mother-in-law will like them.
I will teach her to know her name and help her previous family. If she wants to, I hope she can stay in the prime minister’s house.
Oh, yes, the prime minister’s mansion.
I wish I could go back to the prime minister’s mansion later.
My elder brother would still wait for me at the door, even in winter. He would quarrel with me on weekdays, but he always let me say that I was my sister.
Mother will still be very strict with me, will say that I do not have the appearance of a young lady, will also hold a banquet in the capital, without humility, said that our family Luan Luan fierce.
My father was still rarely seen, but the small tea table in my room was always filled with small gifts from various places.
I looked up at the sky, the moon tonight is very round, really like a white jade plate.
I looked back at Chu Chen, he was not far away from me, I looked at the moon here, he looked at me there, I smiled, and then shouted at him: “Come on, let’s go home.”.
I really want him to be my lover.
Chu Chen walked quickly to my side, his mouth was already clean, and he handed back the ice-sugar gourds in his hand to me.
I took the ice-sugar gourds so swing ah swing ah, the moonlight is just right, the world seems to be left with the two of us, I did not hold back, or asked: “When do you return to the palace?”?
“” Tomorrow.
But it shouldn’t count as going back to the palace.
“He thought for a moment and answered.”.
I understood why he was so tired of me today, but he answered simply, without any attempt to hide from me, and I could not lose my temper, so I had to ask, “Why so fast?”.
。
。
Will you take me?
“Chu Chen suddenly stopped:” Wait for me here, wait for me to marry you, do my wife?
“He was not ashamed of what he said. I thought of Zhou Xi, what she asked me, and what she said to me:” Luan Luan, do you want to be a queen? “The mother of a country has too much responsibility. She needs to be virtuous and dignified. She needs to have both ability and political integrity. I really don’t like such a dull and boring life.
I was thinking again, but what if it was Chu Chen? I looked at Chu Chen’s face, and my eyes unconsciously moved to the corner of his eyes. I didn’t think about anything else. I just thought how could he have such a good mole? No matter how he looked at people, there was a trace of affection.
I narrowed my eyes and did not answer him directly, but said, “Come back before dinner tomorrow, and I’ll cook porridge for you.”.
“He smiled.” Luan Luan, it’s really hard for me.
“” It’s also hard for me, okay? “I stretched out my hand and waved it in front of him.” I’m a young lady who doesn’t touch the spring water with my fingers, okay? “Chu Chen pressed my hand down in front of him.” What’s so difficult about cooking a porridge? Even a fool can do it.
“Then he sighed again, as if remembering something, and said to himself,” Yes, only a fool would make such a sweet food that the sugar didn’t melt.
He spoke so softly that I couldn’t hear him clearly, so I had to ask him to say it again.
He nodded on my head: “Nothing, really afraid of you, good.”.
Chu Chen, what did you say?
I said yes.
“Chu Chen repeated again. Suddenly, he lowered his head and stared at me with a smile. He made a serious gesture and called my name:” Luan Luan? “Well?” Are you a bad ear.
”。
。
。
。
。
。
I didn’t want to listen to his jokes and ran away quickly. His voice could be heard
far away.
“Luan!” Slow down, don’t fall! “Luan, don’t tease you, wait for me!” I ignored him and ran faster, but the corners of my mouth could not help but rise.
I knew he was letting me. How could he not outrun me? I said before that my ears were very good. When I was a child, my mother teased me that I could hear Xie Hui’s footsteps and Ziyun’s charming smile in my previous life. My ears were really good. I just wanted to hear him say it again.
I smiled at him and shouted, “Chu Chen, your ears are not good.”.
I turned my head and saw him admit it. I don’t know why. I just wanted to laugh. I laughed more happily. This is how
we ran back to the mansion.
In the evening, I lay in bed tossing and turning and couldn’t sleep. I told the maid who served me several times to call me earlier on the pretext that I wanted to get some clear dew and make tea tomorrow morning. I couldn’t
sleep, so I got up and opened the window. The moon on the horizon was still there, even brighter than when I looked at it in the street.
The next day, no one called me, but I don’t know why I woke up early.
Should be Chu Chen there know, think that since I call the palace maid called, it must only be sleepy, will not get up early. What
he meant was obvious. He just wanted me to stay here and not go anywhere.
Chu Chen will not give me medicine, he felt that I was delicate and left any sequelae is not good, even the usual soup medicine also picked mild for me to eat, I think, if it is Xie Hui, in order to just in case, also want to give me a medicine that can sleep for a long time.
I haven’t lived here for a long time. There are several sets of clothes in the wardrobe. I took a simple skirt in the wardrobe and put it on.
Chu Chen really ordered people to guard the door, but a look will be different from Xie Hui there, my hysterical kungfu has long been practiced in Xie Hui there, open your mouth out.
I made trouble for a long time, and the guard who wanted to die or live couldn’t, so he let me go out.
If my father and mother saw it, they would probably break my leg like they did to my brother.
But I was followed by a man who refused to leave anyway. I recognized him. It was the man who refused to give me two bowls of porridge that day. Oh, what was his name? It seemed to be Wang Wu.
Chu Chen had reinforcements and broke the gates of the capital, and many refugees outside the city poured in and became a large number of followers of the prince.
I don’t know where his reinforcements come from, but at least someone can help him, which can also make my heart feel at ease. Since the news of the
prince’s return to Beijing was released in the morning, the people have organized themselves, after all, most people would not doubt a man with so many reinforcements now.
Even if you don’t believe, also won’t show, for the majority of the people, is really the prince doesn’t matter, thanks back to a dominant day, the frontier lost, the court regardless of the world, the people are also in dire Straits, no matter who, is their hope.
I walked to the street, and I was really surprised by the scene here. Many people followed the army and demonstrated. Most of them were men, and some of them were women. Some of them were holding newborn babies in their hands. There was a man in the
crowd who looked familiar, and I recognized him. It was the grandfather who sold green sugar paintings that day. He was holding the wooden stick that he used to stick sugar paintings in his hand. He was also in the procession. He did not walk very fast, but he did not lag behind. Just as
I was about to sneak in, I was patted on the shoulder. I looked up and saw a man who was five big and three thick. He was not tall, and his trousers and sleeves were rolled up. Although his clothes were clean and tidy, and he looked new, I still smelled the smell of meat on his body. After working for so many years, the smell could not be concealed. I guess he should be a butcher.
He shouted to me, “What are you doing out of the little girl’s house? Go home quickly and don’t fool around.”.
“I did not answer him, and rushed into the crowd. This time he pushed me out directly, with great strength, I almost did not stabilize my body, or Wang Wu pulled me.”.
The butcher then opened his mouth and said to me, “Why are you so stubborn?”?
Like a donkey. Go back.
“I was made a little irritable, but also can only explain:” I have.
“I pointed to the women not far away.” Why can they get in? I can’t get in.
“Tu Wen simply glanced at it and knew which one I was talking about. He replied to me,” Her man died in battle not long ago. He was forcibly captured by General Xie to join the army. As a result, he died in a few days. Even his bones were confiscated. He didn’t win the battle, and his husband died. Most of the women here came in this way. Otherwise, who would be willing to come? I couldn’t persuade him. I didn’t listen to what he said. He also brought the child he had just given birth to. He said that if he left his mother, he would die. I couldn’t persuade him. What can you do? Suffer.
“He turned his head and tried to persuade me, but I interrupted him and spoke first.”.
“I’m married. My husband is here. I’m not leaving. I want to be with him.”.
“In the distance came the sound of music, which was different from what I had heard. It was very disorderly, and there were all kinds of musical instruments. In such a scene, it was inexplicably touching. I smiled at the butcher and said,” I am a piano girl in the music workshop. My husband is very good, especially powerful. I am no longer a girl, but thank you.
“The butcher did not speak, but the expression on his face did not change, and his hands were still trying to pull me out.”.
I looked at Wang Wu and motioned to him with my eyes. He understood what I meant and nodded to push the butcher away along the stream of people.
Still a summer season, the air is sultry, people crowded together will be more uncomfortable, although the team is moving forward, but it is precisely because there are too many people, the air is not circulating at all, the smell of sour sweat and the heat of the summer are intertwined.
Sweat can not stop dripping down, not to mention the natural hair, I did not see a person’s forehead hair is dry, and even many people, even hemp clothes can see large areas of sweat stains. The music in
my ears was scattered and mixed with people’s voices. I followed the crowd and tried not to fall behind. There were so many sounds that I couldn’t tell how many songs were mixed together. Not far
from me was a woman playing the flute, and I saw her carrying something on her back, like a lute.
To be honest, she doesn’t play well, and there are a few notes that may be due to lack of breath or not in place, even a little harsh.
I could not help but increase my pace a little bit, and it was not easy for me to get to her side. I plucked up my courage and began to talk. I wanted to borrow her lute, but it was better to give it to me than to borrow it, because I didn’t know if I would meet her in the future.
The girl’s face was kind. After listening to my words, she was stupefied for a moment, but there was no reaction. Maybe it was because of her nature, or because of the war. She kept talking, but she listened to me carefully. Then she turned the sound of the flute, which was the end.
She was so straightforward that she took off the lute directly and handed it to me.
I’m close to her. She has a good smell. I can’t say. I like it anyway.
I was shocked by her neatness, but the girl didn’t seem to care. She just said that she was from the music shop. She was a handyman in the music shop. Now, as soon as it happened, all the people in the music shop ran away.
Her voice was soft and soft, and even when she said these things, there was a waxy tone in her voice.
I thought of Qingqing. No, Qingqing is more lively.
I shook my head again, throwing the memory out of my mind.
The girl seemed to really regard me as the lute girl of the music workshop. She seemed very happy and pushed the lute into my arms again.
I play the piano best, but how can I play the piano while walking? I think it would be better if it were a storybook now. It is normal for the martial arts masters on the picture book to play while walking.
I want to play something, escape into the ordinary, like the people, surrounded by him. No matter how noble
the phoenix is, it is just a bird in my eyes, an ordinary bird.
The girl’s voice was no longer waxy. With strength, she told me to play faster and louder. She wanted to cover every brick in the capital with the music. She wanted to let everyone in the capital know that even the merchant girl would not sing the backyard flowers all the time when the country was subjugated. As she spoke, she began to
cry, and the tears went back in her eyes. Her hands were still trembling, but she put them on the flute again, covered her lips, and blew them intermittently.
Wang Wu had already come back to me, but he did not speak and just stood.
I played the pipa, but I was a little rusty. To be honest, I didn’t play the pipa much. The young ladies in the capital could play a skill, and it was enough to find some face and elegance.
I still played a tune, which I heard when I was a Piao, and it was a tune familiar to the people in the city. The string of
this lute is not particularly good, and it seems that it has just been replaced. It is more painful than when I first started practicing the lute.
Wang Wu held back for a long time, but he still couldn’t hold back his words: “I said, don’t come out as a girl. Wait for me with peace of mind. It’s a mess outside. Why are you playing around?”.
“His words are ugly, but I can’t refute them. In his eyes, it’s just a farce.”.
I have been a model of noble women for so many years, but I only have one piano to play. I can only play a plucked instrument. I don’t think I can even do this. What else can I do?
Wang Wu wanted to say something more, but I interrupted him.
“You can come and sing, or you can go to Chu Chen to help, and don’t be idle.”. “
Ah?” Wang Wu was stunned, as if he had not yet reacted.
“Can I go to Grandpa’s?” “Of course.
I waved my hand.
“Forget it, I told you to watch over you.”.
I listen to you.
“After a pause, he went on to say,” Are you sure you don’t want to go back? “I looked at the advancing procession and then at Wang Wu. His face was still young and childish. No wonder he was so lively. I said,” On the surface, we may work together, but there will inevitably be people in a panic. Fear is certain, let alone them. If I were the leader, my legs would be shaking now.
“I smiled at Wang Wu and said,” I don’t play music to please the public with claptrap. Whether I am the young lady of the prime minister’s mansion or the girl of the music workshop, I am the common people of the Zhou Dynasty. Since Chu Chen is the prince, he is the king. It is perfectly justified for the common people to follow the king.
“I don’t care about Wang Wu anymore. In this way, I played as I walked. At first, I sang. Later, the people around me said a few words, and Wang Wu followed without saying a word.”.
I won’t sing. I just play. They sing better than me. I can’t sing in tune. In this way,
we followed, and several waves of officers and soldiers came to drive us away. The knives they held in their hands folded cold light in the sun and looked at the strange people.
Those officers and soldiers are just threatening, but not really take people’s lives, Xie Hui must also understand, if the blood, the people outside the capital have long been angry, if coupled with the people of the capital, he can’t stand it.
This is not the way of the palace, but like the way of the prime minister’s mansion, my home.
I asked Wang Wu. He seemed to be shocked. I didn’t know. He said to me, “Xie Hui has been living in the prime minister’s mansion for some days. Because of this matter, the court has a lot of opinions about him. Some old ministers have gone through three days in a row, but Xie Hui is still the same.”.
“I suppressed the disgust in my heart and said casually,” The scenery of the prime minister’s mansion is also good.
“And then it bounced.”. I was
used to riding in a carriage before, but this time I walked on my feet, and for the first time I felt that the journey was so far.
Wang Wu’s voice was a little hoarse, and I told him to stop singing.
He refused and told me to look at my hands.
I was not used to this string, and I played it for a long time. The second finger of my right hand was a little worn out, and there was blood oozing out slightly. I didn’t need him to remind me, and I felt it long ago. When I was
practicing the piano, I was most afraid that my hands would be broken, and my fingers were connected to my heart, and I felt the most pain.
Wang Wu said that as long as I stopped, he would not sing.
As long as I’m playing, he’s singing.
His tone of voice was more than a little better than when he talked to me before, and I was a little uncomfortable.
But I didn’t dare to stop. More and more people paraded through the streets. I even saw several young talents and ladies I had seen before. They smiled and motioned to me. They should have recognized me, but they didn’t make any more moves. They just followed the procession silently.
You see, how rare it is. There were a lot of people around the gate of the
prime minister’s mansion. Suddenly there was a kind of inexplicable complexity in my heart. There were a lot of people guarding the gate of the prime minister’s mansion. There were no people walking forward.
Feudal ethics has a great influence. I think it is a very brave thing for them to come here.
I gave the lute in my hand to an old man with a good face and withdrew from the crowd.
I dragged Wang Wu to the street on the right side of the prime minister’s mansion. I quickened my pace and prayed secretly that I must be there.
Wang Wu did not know why, but still did not say anything, just follow me. Fewer and fewer
people, more people are willing to get together, peace of mind.
I estimated the approximate location. The walls here were piled with firewood, and there were many weeds and flowers. I was not sure. I pulled several places with my hands. The dry firewood would inevitably scrape my wound. It was really painful.
Wang Wu looked at what I had done. Although he didn’t know what the reason was, he also came to help me pull the firewood. After groping for a while, my hand suddenly touched a vacancy. I couldn’t hold back my excitement, and regardless of the image of a young lady, I stretched out my hand and pointed to it and said to Wang Wu with a smile, “It’s empty. Come and help me.”.
“I was relieved that the dog hole was still there.”. When
Wang Wu heard this, he hurried over to help me, which made me happy. He couldn’t hold back and joked, “Why is there a dog hole in the prime minister’s house? It’s not that we don’t have enough money. We don’t even have the money to repair the house.”.
“I was in a good mood and followed his words:” The people in the mansion should not know what the villains did.
Otherwise, I will peel off a layer of his skin.
“” Only villains and women are difficult to raise. Your prime minister’s mansion is really complete. Why don’t you talk to my grandfather and let him help you? He’s awesome. It’s no problem to catch a villain.
“I couldn’t hold back my laughter. Curious, I asked,” How powerful is your grandfather? “” He is the most powerful man I have ever seen.
“With a proud look on his face, Wang Wu looked at me again and said,” I seem to like you very much. I used to think you were like a little beggar, ragged, but later I learned that you were a charming young lady, with golden branches and jade leaves. Now it seems that you are also OK.
“I thought to myself that Chu Chen really had the ability to confuse people’s minds and made Wang Wu so dead set. He threw the firewood in his hand into Wang Wu’s arms and pretended to be angry:” Say I’m all right. You can force me. I’m a young lady anyway. The young lady will order people around and do it faster.
“Wang Wu kept moving his hands, but he couldn’t hold back his mouth and muttered,” The girl is in trouble. Who is it? It’s really hateful. Put so much firewood in it and fill it up.
“I knocked him on the head.” Don’t speak ill of your father.
Girl, don’t touch me. Besides, I didn’t speak ill of you.
“I smiled and pointed to the hole.” Your father dug this hole.
“” Huh? Are you bluffing? “” Why are you bluffing? “”.
。
。
Is it true that I dug it? “Wang Wu asked cautiously, his tone was still hoarse from singing before.”.
“Uh-huh.”.
“” Well dug.
“As soon as Wang Wu clapped his hands, he pulled the firewood even harder.” If it weren’t for me, we wouldn’t be able to get in now.
“I looked at Wang Wu, can not help but praise a few Chu Chen’s way to win people’s hearts, is really brilliant.”.
The dog hole soon opened, and it was not the first time to go, so there was no need to be coy any more. It was smooth to come in. I looked at Wang Wu, who was trying to cover the hole again.
I looked around, there was no one, although this is a garden, a little remote, but there is no one, it is not very reasonable. You can still hear the sound from outside
through the wall.
Fortunately, there is a corner from the gate and it is not too close, otherwise, there will be a lot of trouble.
I’m trying to go around the garden to the front yard, which is where the gate comes straight in. They should be there. Just then
, Wang Wu stopped me.
I was a little angry: “Don’t stop me.”.
“” Don’t stop you, want to see you go to the knife? “” No one will kill me.
“I am a little flustered, can not help but soliloquize, just outside do not feel that somehow there is strength and enthusiasm to push people away, people also have strength, can say some righteous words, and even inspire the determination of people around me, but now is not the same, the closer to Chu Chen, the more flustered my heart, can not say, the mood is also a little inexplicable irritability.”.
“but Chu Chen is different, Xie Hui he is not a person, really will kill him.”.
“My mind suddenly came back to those days and nights with Xie Hui, and I repeated the same hysteria, the purple clouds that could not be mentioned, the broken teacups, and the gorgeous peonies on my head, all of which made me breathless.”.
Wang Wu looked at me for a long time, and finally he only said, “I believe you.”.
I believe him.
But Wang Wu you honestly tell me, how many reinforcements you brought, and how many troops back to thank? Here is the capital after all, Wang Wu, Chu Chen since you are arranged in my side, your kung fu should be good, the right side of the study cabinet, you all go to turn over, the right side of the small drawer to look for, if he put in the prime minister’s mansion, There should be something useful there. You go and look for it. This is the way to help you.
“In my mind, I recalled the hobby of Xie Hui in my previous life, which corresponded to him in this life. I liked to put things in the study and on the right side, but everything was possible on the right side. In my memory, he should not have changed this habit. I saw that Wang Wu did not move, so I couldn’t help urging him:” Hurry up.
“Wang Wu hesitated for a moment, but still asked,” What about you? “I patted the dirt on my body and said to Wang Wu with a smile,” Miss, I’m tired to death. I’ll have a rest here and wait for you here.
“Wang Wu still didn’t move, and I couldn’t help urging him a few more times.”.
“Do you still want to help your grandfather?” Wang Wuxin stretched out his hand and made a hook. “We pull the hook. You wait for me here. You can’t go. If you go, you will.
。
Just.
。 If you can’t get married
all your life, you will be a big girl with yellow flowers.
I know, I know. I won’t go. Pull the hook.
“On the surface, I was impatient, but in my heart, I felt that Wang Wu was so cute, and even a little silly. It was not easy for Wang Wu to leave, and he disappeared. After a while, I moved my body, and I was sorry. I had been with my brother for so many years, and I had told a lot of lies, but this time I felt guilty.” It’s probably because Wang Wu’s behavior is too childish.
But Wang Wu, your father said to marry me, your lies may not be able to count, after all, but Chu Chen first said, I am Phoenix ah, but also Chu Chen to marry Miss Chen.
I walked along the path. Thanks to my good ears, I heard footsteps far away. I found a woodshed and took shelter for a while. After a while, the footsteps really changed from light to heavy and then to light, and finally disappeared. The structure of the rooms in the
prime minister’s mansion is very ingenious. Not counting the rooms where people live, the rest of the rooms are connected one by one, which is also a unique secret passage. When I was a child, my mother controlled my diet to ensure that I had a beautiful figure. Often when I was six full, I would not be allowed to eat any more. When I was young, I often slipped to the small kitchen to get some food.
Unexpectedly, the ingenuity of these designs can still be useful now. So
I touched the front hall, and the voices of people were getting closer and closer to me, not only the voices of the people at the door of the prime minister’s mansion, but also the roar and the friction of weapons. I couldn’t hear the sound of friction since I was a child. I couldn’t hold back, and I shivered. Now
I really feel that I have taken the role of the protagonist, although it is a secret passage, but there is still a probability of being discovered, but along the way, it was unimpeded, except for an accident that was almost discovered, everything went smoothly, I put my hand on the back of my neck and covered it, my hand was tender, and it bled before. I got some bruises when I was pulling the firewood again. Although it is summer now, I still feel a little cold.
I hid behind the pillar in the front hall. A single pillar could not stop me. But I had hung a curtain here before. It was not a problem for the curtain and the pillar to stop me. I had been hiding here before, eavesdropping on my mother and her close friends. Sometimes I would come to eavesdrop on my father, but my father’s boredom was all in the court.
But the mother is different, several women get together, always talk about gossip, I listen to interesting. Although
my mother was strict, the pillar was hidden. I hid behind the pillar and never found it once.
Just then, my sleeve suddenly seemed to be touched by something. Before I could respond, a familiar male voice came from my ear: “Who?” I recognized it. It was Wen Xuan.
I looked up and hissed at him, “It’s me.”.
“Only then did Wen Xuan see me clearly and asked,” Miss Chen, why are you here? “” This is my home, so I’m here naturally. But Mr. Wen, why are you here? “Wen Xuan didn’t hide it from me. He opened his mouth generously and said,” The prince will come after a while. I’ll lie in ambush here and help him later.
“I was just about to say something more when Wen Xuan interrupted me.” Shh.
“With a cry.”.
I did hear the sound, I tried to restrain myself, not to make a sound, not quiet environment, but I can hear the sound of my heartbeat.
Logically speaking, I should be afraid now, but when I think of Chu Chen outside, I don’t know why, I’m not so afraid.
Wen Xuan peeled off a small curtain and looked at the situation outside. After a while, I could even hear the sound of the sword as if it was in my ear. Wen Xuan gently dropped a sentence: “Miss Chen stays here. Wen Mou goes first.”.
It flashed out like a gust of wind.
His voice was so soft that I wouldn’t have heard it at all if I hadn’t been so close.
After that, I had no impression. I only knew that I rushed up and blocked a knife for Chu Chen. The wound was not deep, but Xie Hui’s knife was poisonous. The knife was cut on his arm. It really hurt. It hurt so much that my tears were about to fall out. I heard Xie Hui and Chu Chen calling my name and shouting loudly.
It’s like a storybook.
Wang Wu stole the amulet. Everything is in the right place at the right time. I know Chu Chen won.
My life has finally diverged from the previous one.
I want to cry in pain, but I want to laugh.
I was in a coma, and it was like sleeping again, and when I woke up, it was all over, and everything happened so fast.
I slept for a long time again. When I woke up, Chu Chen was still beside me, just like when he was guarding me when I was sick. When I woke up, Chu Chen looked like he didn’t know what to say and called me, “Luan Luan.”.
His voice is hoarse, and I’m not used to it.
“Eh? Chu Chen, long time no see.”.
“I pulled a smile and looked at Chu Chen.”.
“We just met, Luan Luan.”. As
you said, one day’s absence is like three autumns apart.
Didn’t you say you would cook porridge for me? Why did you run out.
“Chu Chen stared at me, I looked at the lachrymal mole in the corner of his eye, could not help but touch it with his hand.”.
“Do not want to die?” “Chu Chen, do not need you to marry me, I will marry you.
“Chu Chen was stupefied for a moment, restored the ordinary appearance, with a smile, but I saw his smile did not see the fundus, he said:” It is an honor.
Chu Chen, aren’t you happy.
“Does your arm hurt?” “Don’t be so fierce. It doesn’t hurt very much now. I’m your young lady. I cooked porridge and asked Zhang Ma to watch it. Didn’t you go back to drink it?” “No. Let’s talk about it
next time. I hope Mr. Chu still has a good taste.
“I teased him.”.
Chu Chen seems to be stumped, for a long time before opening his mouth: “Chu Childe may not have.”.
“” Why? “” Leave it to Mr. Zhou.
“Chu Chen stroked my hair:” Luan Luan, it’s all over.
Luan Luan, I want to marry you.
“Chu Chen hugged me, I can smell the good smell on his body, my cheek can touch his loose hair, touch the tip of my nose, rough, itching.”. Chu Chen’s voice came to
my ears again. I suddenly wanted to keep a cat again. I thought I would keep a lot of cats. I heard him ask me again: “Luan Luan, does your hand hurt?” He didn’t ask, but my grievance came up.
“Chu Chen, I am very painful, that lute string is really new.”.
I play so badly that the master who taught me the melody will probably make me angry when he hears it.
“I handed him my hand and said with a smile,” Chu Chen will help me blow, OK.
“Chu Chen did not answer me, but took my hand, like a child blowing up, I looked at his ears, some red.”.
I didn’t expect Chu Chen to be so fond of playing tricks on people, but now he is ashamed.
I wish my mother were here. Although my mother is strict with me, I know she will not let you leave a scar.
Chu Chen seemed to see through my mind: “The prime minister’s mansion will soon return to Beijing, you don’t have to worry.”.
“He paused:” Do you want to see Zhou Xi? “Can see Zhou Xi, I naturally overjoyed, quickly promised.
“Tomorrow first, I will take you to walk in the yard.” I couldn’t hold back. I made a joke and said, “What’s the matter? I have nothing to do.” “As a servant, I naturally have to serve the young lady well.
Do you want to play on the swing? “” Yes, but how did you know I like to play on the swing without asking you before.
Did you get my brother to say something? “” No.
“He walked in front of me and said with a smile,” I know a girl far before Miss Chen.
“His voice is not big, I did not hear too clearly, had to ask again:” Chu Chen, what do you say? I did not hear clearly.
Nothing, Luan Luan, let’s go.
“I didn’t want to delve into what he had said, so I simply ignored it and answered casually,” Good.
“Chu Chen was holding something in his hand. I saw it. It was a piece of jade. It was the one I saw on his body when I first saw him. He put the jade tightly in my hand. It was still warm.”. When
I saw Xie Hui again, I should have been awake for about three days.
Xie Hui stayed in the cell. When I went in, he sat there and did nothing. His eyes were looking at the only window in the cell. The window let in light and framed the only beam of sunlight. He should have heard my footsteps, but he did not look back. He still looked at the window.
I’m not talking. I’m waiting for him to talk. The poison on
his knife is not incurable, but it will be more difficult to raise, and it may leave a scar. When I come here, naturally I can’t lower my posture. Miss
Chen, what are you doing here.
“Xie Hui still didn’t look at me, but he didn’t call me Luan Luan, but I thought it sounded better.”.
“Xie Hui, let’s talk about it.” I have to say, there is really nothing to talk about between us, but at least we have been reborn once. He is now locked up, and I want to ask something.
“Chen Luan, there is no need for you to tell me these great principles. I am the son of a general. I said that I deserved to shed my blood when I was born, right? Why?”.
“What he said was inexplicable, and my words were not right, so I didn’t reply to him.”.
Xie Hui then said to me, “Luan Luan, would you like to buy the sweet osmanthus cake in East Street for me? The sweet osmanthus cake there is very delicious. Buy eight pieces and give you four pieces.”.
“He saw that I did not move, raised his eyebrows, and then opened his mouth:” What, afraid of my poisoning? “He seemed to be lost in memory:” Don’t worry, I don’t have that ability, where the mother-in-law is a very good person.
“I didn’t know how to answer him, so I had to say,” No.
Chen Luan, you are afraid of me.
“Xie Hui chuckled,” Don’t do this, Luan Luan. You might as well scold me like before.
“I looked at him and couldn’t figure out why he suddenly changed his temper again. When Xie Hui smiled, he would leak out his tiger teeth, sharp, with a kind of juvenile spirit. I suddenly remembered that he had been reborn once, and now he was only a teenager of twenty.”.
I just wanted to say something, and what flashed through my mind was all the past events that had happened in the General’s Office, and then I shut up again.
I stared at Xie Hui’s back and said, “I’ll call someone to send it.”.
“I suddenly have no desire to ask, I was about to leave, was suddenly called back by Xie.”.
Luan Luan, I want to go to the frontier.
“” Well? “” The frontier is lost. I’m a general. I don’t know if I’m still in this position, but I should have been there.
“He smiled happily:” Only I can hold that. “
You’re going to war?” “Luan Luan, I know what you’re worried about. I have no military power.
“He spread out his hands and said,” The prince has been looking for me. He really wants me to die. If I don’t go, I will really die here. How suffocating it is.
“” why are you tal to me? “” I didn’t promise him, Luan Luan. I’ll wait for you.
If you let me go, I will go.
“Xie Hui stared at me with bright eyes.”.
“I am naturally the same as Chu Chen, you are free.”.
“I said this and turned away, and I seemed to hear Xie Hui say,” I’m sorry, Luan Luan.
I didn’t look back and strode out.
Zhou Xi often came to me. She was afraid of Chu Chen. Although they were brother and sister, they had no experience of living together. However, it did not affect the joy of the little girl. Liu Changqing was still tall and thin. He still liked to wear blue clothes. But I knew he was helping Chu Chen to do things. He must be more than a painter in the future.
I still like to call Zhou Chen Chu Chen, I am used to it.
Father they also returned to Beijing, or live in the prime minister’s mansion, mother is very satisfied with Chu Chen, not only satisfied with his family background, but also very optimistic about his manners, let me say, Chu Chen this fellow will install than I do.
My elder brother liked to play chess with him very much. I could watch it at first, but later I felt that it was meaningless. They had chess in their chess and words in their words. As for the victory or defeat, it was basically 50-50, and there was nothing to see.
Qingqing is still reckless, but recently, because I set the date of marriage, she has been patiently learning needlework from the embroiderers for several days, saying that she wants to embroider something for me. The emperor of the
Zhou Dynasty was put under house arrest by Xie Hui before, and the people’s hearts had already dissipated. The Zhou Dynasty was going to set up a new emperor, and the seat should be Chu Chen’s.
Chu Chen brought me a message, thank you for going back to the frontier.
He has a lot of things to do recently, and he often comes to the prime minister’s mansion. Now he can finally breathe sigh of relief.
I also breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the border is pacified, Zhou Xi naturally does not need to marry, she always said to me: “Luan Luan, you want to be happy.”.
“Now I can also return the words to her:” Zhou Xi, I also hope you are happy.
Soon it was autumn, the Beginning of Autumn had just passed, and the heat of summer had not completely faded. After dinner, I sat in the pavilion and enjoyed the breeze.
My eyes were suddenly blindfolded by a pair of hands, and it happened that I caught a glimpse of the purse on his waist, which was poorly embroidered with the house.
I opened my mouth with a smile: “Get into the dog hole?” “Luan Luan, you are so boring that you don’t guess twice.
“He took away the hand that covered my eyes, but did not deny it:” Come in through the gate, loud gongs and drums, that shelf is more sufficient than opera singer, it is very troublesome.
“He leaned closer to me and said,” Luan Luan, do you want to go out to play? “I saw his eyes, smiling and smiling, like overflowing affection.
I put my hand in front of him: “Well, would you like to change a purse?” Chu Chen touched the waist purse with his hand at will, and rubbed the needle and thread on it with his thumb: “No, Luan Luan, I like it very much. “Do
you really like it or not?” I still like the mole in the corner of his eye, and the dishonest hand touched it again. I like everything
you send.
“He got closer to me again.” Luan Luan is a lady. Why don’t you embroider one for me in person.
Glib, but I won’t allow you to embroider anything.
“” Why? “” When I was young, I hated learning needlework. I cried for my father and mother, but the three Mammy couldn’t hold me down, so they let me run away.
“I couldn’t help laughing when I remembered my childhood.”.
Chu Chen also laughed with me. For a long time, he asked me: “Luan Luan, do you want to eat dried apricot?” Originally, I didn’t have any feeling. When he said that, I suddenly wanted to eat. I looked at Chu Chen: “OK, let’s go, the gate or the dog hole?” Chu Chen smiled and took my hand: “Take you to the hero in the script, I’ll take you out.
“” Well, you, before you said you wouldn’t, and lied to me! “I want to hammer him, Chu Chen also do not hide, all suffer. The day
I got married was winter. It was a good day. My father, mother and Chu Chen looked at the almanac for a long time before setting the day. Zhou Xi was crying, and so was Qing Qing. I thought that when they were together, I could really go to a theatrical troupe to perform. I thought that the day she got married in her previous life was also such a season. But now is not the same, I looked out of the window floating snow, snow-white snow like cotton wool spread on the earth, next year there will be a good harvest, this year must really be a good harvest. News came from the
frontier. Xie Hui died on the battlefield of the frontier. When I knew the news, I was in the boudoir. I didn’t feel anything. I didn’t understand until now that I really put it down.
I said to the servant who came to inform me, “If the bones return to Beijing, burn three sticks of incense for me. If there are no bones left, then forget it.”.
“I have a lot of pictures in my mind, which should be an uncontrollable habit.”. On the day of
my wedding, there was a big scene. My mother was combing my hair. While combing her mouth, she also read: “One comb to the end, two comb the white hair to the eyebrows, three comb to the ground.”.
“Mother has the idea of laughing, and her voice is very nice.”.
Makeup Niang draws makeup for me, I remind her to also want to order a mole for me to be in canthus there, and Chu Chen same place. It suddenly occurred to
me that Wang Wulai made a snitch to me yesterday. It was said that Chu Chen was very nervous. Obviously, the clothes had already been made and fit well. He still felt dissatisfied after trying them seven or eight times. He also ordered a red mole on the fourth finger of his right hand and the back of his hand. He said that I also had one, but the mole was not good. It was born small. Chu Chen does not let others do this matter, always a little big or seep open, finally instead is to make oneself anxious. As soon as
he said this, my mind immediately imagined what he looked like, and as soon as there was a picture, I felt very funny.
I stepped on the carriage to meet the bride. Chu Chen drove a horse at the front of the procession. The sound of trumpets and suona was heard in my ears. I saw that the master’s cheeks were bulging and his face was red. I thought I should give them more money later.
Chu Chen sat on a horse with a big red flower hanging around his neck, accompanied by snow all over the ground, which added a bit of joy. When he saw me coming, Chu Chen dismounted to welcome me into the carriage. I heard him whispering in my ear: “I was born at the right time, Luan Luan, I am very lucky.”. As soon as
I stretched out my hand, a cluster of snow catkins fell on my hand and soon melted into my palm, which was cold.
Spring Bluebird, Autumn Moon, Autumn Silkworm, Summer Cloud, Summer Rain, Winter Moon, Qi Han, think that we will experience a lot of spring, summer, autumn and winter, Chu Chen, I also feel lucky. As a young girl,
Zhou Xi still hid Liu Changqing’s paintings in her study, and then quietly showed them to me, asking me, “Are the paintings of Changqing excellent?” I asked her why she didn’t take them outside?
It’s not the same now.
Zhou Xi smiled and took my hand and said that she was used to it. When she got married, she would put it all out so that everyone could see how powerful she was. She was elated when she
said this. I laughed and teased her: “Don’t you worry that he won’t be able to be an official when he becomes the emperor’s son-in-law?” Zhou Xi did not answer my question directly. Instead, he held my hand more tightly and said: “Changqing said that he will not be afraid in the future. I will be with him, and I am not afraid either.
She looked at me with a smile, and Zhou Xi’s hands were warm and different from before.
I think I will watch Qingqing get married, watch Zhou Xi marry Liu Changqing, and then prepare a generous gift for them. My brother doesn’t have to marry a woman from a small family because of my relationship. I want to give Jinse a good tomb. I want to find the woman who borrowed my pipa and thank her face to face. I want to find the butcher and show him that my husband is really great. I have to do a lot of things. I want to raise cats or flowers. I want to watch them grow up with Chu Chen.
There was no one to thank him again, and he seemed to have completely disappeared from my world.
I remember I asked Chu Chen: “If you become the emperor, harem three thousand how to do?” He is still a cynical look, said with a smile: “I only need a phoenix is enough.
“He looks serious, say to me:” Miss Chen, know formally, I am Zhou Chen.
“Smiling, I handed him my hand and said,” I’ve heard of the prince’s name for a long time. My surname is Chen, and I’m lucky to know him.
“” It’s a great honor.
“I scolded him for being glib. I looked out of the window. It was still snowing heavily. By the spring of next year, when the willow branches were green and the yellow color was not even, the whole Zhou Dynasty would be brand new.”.
I am Chen Luan, next if and Chu Chen, oh, should not be called and Zhou Chen’s story, and I also stopped sharing the record.
Because, ah, my phoenix finally has a place to live. It’s
over. Thank you for returning to the external article.
