My lover died on the battlefield, and I stubbornly refused to break off the marriage. It snowed heavily that day when
I died.
He came back, but he also brought back a girl. He said that his heart belonged to someone else, and we were separated.
I waited for him for a long time. Everyone said that General Xie died on the battlefield, and the marriage was retired by our Jiang family, which was not fickle. I have always been the best girl in the Jiang family, but I was stubborn in this matter. I said gently that General Xie was not dead. I said I didn’t believe it.
I clearly remember that the high-spirited Xie Yange was sitting on his black horse before going to war, and his clothes were flying, and the sun was melting in his eyes. He said, “Little girl of the Jiang family, please wait for me. I will return triumphantly before you and bring you the most precious gift in the world.”.
At that time, I was ashamed of etiquette, and my face was red with shame through the layer of gauze. After all, I didn’t make a sound for a long time. And you, the girl is waiting for the cabinet to get married after you get married. How much I regret now, why didn’t I answer him bravely at that time? Why don’t you even say a good word. On
my last day, it snowed heavily. Holding the snow in his hand, he drew my eyebrows for me and coaxed me softly, “Miss, a timely snow promises a good harvest.”
I looked up out of the window and saw a vast expanse of whiteness under the snowdrift. The coming year will probably be a good one.
Peng Xue served me since I was a child, and naturally she was closer to me than others. She advised me that I would be an adult after today, and that the young lady would not have to be hampered by a person who could not come back. Naturally, she should also look forward.
Long eyebrows Lianjuan, I looked at myself in the bronze mirror, shaking God, I painted a beautiful makeup without saying a word, do not say good or bad. Holding snow to see also know what I mean, can only secretly sigh a big sigh. The marriage between Xie Yange and
me was still there, and it was said that Jiang Taifu’s family was affectionate. Even if Xie Yange buried his bones on the battlefield, he could not bear to leave the cold tea and immediately released the engagement. Only the close people knew that this was the rare stubbornness of Jiang Taifu, the eldest daughter of the Jiang family. Jiang Taifu, who had always been known for his good temper, was so angry that he broke several sets of tea sets. I said softly that he would come back before he died, and I waited for him to come back at that time. This is a compromise. After the
ceremony had been sung over and over again, I listened with a smile to the congratulatory message, “Eyebrows live for ten thousand years, and I will receive Hu Fu forever.” Wearing the heaviest dress with big sleeves and the most complicated hairpin crown, I had already bowed twice. The dignitaries in the capital who had come to
watch the ceremony could not help nodding their heads in praise, saying that the girl of the Jiang family had a dignified manner, a beautiful face, and was born and raised very well. She deserves to be the best of this year’s ladies.
It’s just a pity that you can hear it faintly. What’s the pity? Pity my unmarried husband who died on the battlefield, but his bones can’t be found in the end?
My Xie Yange. My wedding ceremony is almost finished. Why don’t you come back? What to do. I waited from sunrise until sunset. The wind and snow were getting heavier and heavier. I unconsciously buttoned the gold thread on my sleeve. I had never felt so confused. My world is covered with snow.
I sat on my knees in a dignified manner, and the jade lady of Zhenxi Wangfu removed the hairpin from my head. Next to me, the maid held a beautiful hairpin crown on the chopping board. If I combed my hair again, I would not be a minor girl. If I put on this hairpin again, I will have completed the ceremony. Lady
Yu is my aunt. When she combs my hair, she also talks to me softly.
“Oh, there are so many good men in the world. The son of the Hsieh family is certainly good, but you are so young and beautiful. After today, this marriage will be over.”
I listened to her in silence. There are so many good men in the world, but Xie Yange is the only one. I have been locked up in the boudoir for more than ten years, and my parents are particularly important. My manners, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, appearance, virtue, rules and standards are like teaching books. I never know what is wanton, but Xie Yange took me to know. For more than ten years, the most extraordinary thing for me was that I was deadlocked with my father because of the divorce.
Everyone said he was dead. Obviously, the bones were not found. Why did you say my man was dead.
Xie Yange, you lied. You lied to me. You didn’t come.
The praise began to sing, and the jade lady stretched out her hand to get the hairpin on the table. The four distinguished guests spread a happy atmosphere because they were about to witness the ceremony, and the first parents gradually smiled. The door
of the main hall was opened with a “bang,” and the young people who had returned from afar were all startled by the frost and snow. I turned my head suddenly, and even my fingertips were shaking. Snow and blood were mixed together on
Xie Yange’s broken armor, and there was a faint fatigue of wind and sand grinding. Behind him was a snowstorm, and the wind blew the snow around his feet. A pair of eyes drenched in the wind and snow, like cold stars, now show a little water light. He was tall and graceful, and his lips were stained with the casual smile of the stars in the past, as unbridled as the wind.
“I’ve heard that Miss Chiang is getting married today, so I’ve come to give you a gift.”
He walked towards me, and every step seemed to be on the tip of his heart. There seemed to be a noise on the side, and only then did they come back from the news that General Xie had come back alive from the battlefield, which could be regarded as overwhelming. But I can’t hear you.
Xie Yange stopped in front of me. My eyes were astringent. It’s good that you are still here. When he was away, I had a lot to say, but I didn’t know where to send the letter. Now that I was in front of him, I found that I had nothing to say. I just said quietly, “Ah, you’re back.” Mrs.
Xie Yan Ge Chongyu saluted and naturally took the hairpin from her hand. With a gentle “hum,” she gently put it on for me and pushed it into the bun inch by inch. He squatted down again and took out a small bag from the place near his chest. His body was dirty and broken
. Only the small bag made of silk was clean. I held it in my hand and it was
warm.
“Ginger.”. “It is a great joy to live together, and it is a great joy to live together every year.”
I looked into the darkness of his eyes, and I felt like I was going to cry.
The first father had already realized from his surprise that he couldn’t help getting up from his seat, and he couldn’t care about the impolite things he did for
me. Smiling
, Hsieh Yan-ge bowed to him and said,
“Taifu, Hsieh Cha was lucky enough to escape from the battlefield. He has traveled thousands of miles back to Beijing and his appearance is unbearable. Please
forgive me.”. Later on we still need to go to the palace to meet the emperor, so we won’t stay here any longer.
My father has been an official for many years. Just
come back, just come back. Go and see the holy man in a hurry.
Hsieh Yan-ge changed his mind and said, “There is one more thing I want to tell you: Hsieh nearly died on the battlefield, but thanks
to the rescue of a woman.”. There is no way to repay the kindness of saving life, only to marry each other. After all, the engagement
with your beloved was a high climb, and the marriage was called off.
The marriage was called off.
He bowed to the end.
I looked up suddenly. I couldn’t hear
anything clearly, and the people next to me were in an uproar. From “General Hsieh Hsiao came back from the battlefield” to “Jiang Wei was divorced,” there was only one stick of incense. I couldn’t see my father’s rage or hear the noise around me. I just felt that Lingtai was chaotic. I always knew that he didn’t like me. I grew up according to the standard of a lady. It was the most annoying rule for a person like him. I’ve been taking chances.
I didn’t expect it to develop like this.
He apologized lightly for his father’s anger, but he could see that he had made up his mind. He fell in love with others, and in those sleepless nights when I could not sleep for his life, he sheltered others from the wind and rain when I disobeyed the whole family for my stubbornness.
I felt my blood freeze inch by inch, and my body in beautiful clothes seemed to be covered with wind and snow. I seemed to want to pull the corners of my mouth to bend a best smile, but I couldn’t move. Lady Yu protected me in her arms and couldn’t bear to let me look and listen again. Good boy, don’t look.
I know he said he never looked at me again after he retired. I was shivering with cold. Was the door wide open and the snow had blown up my skirt.
He said goodbye to his father, who smashed the cup on the ground and told him to roll. He passed by me, the black cloak and my eight lake-colored skirts touched briefly, the white snow rolled lightly, he did not stop, not for a moment.
He passed by me and returned to his snowstorm. It snowed heavily on the day
I met him. I waited for a long time and finally I got him. He broke off my marriage in front of all the nobles in the capital. The apology of
the Hsieh family was sent to the mansion with great sincerity, and the things inside were as precious as the betrothal gifts of ordinary princes. I didn’t even look at it.
Concubine younger sister Jiang Zhen said more inadvertently when chatting with me, at that time I was painting, long silk spread out, ink rendering a spring look.
“At worst, the beads inside are as big as a dragon’s eye, and the satin is like a cloud on the horizon, dazzling at a glance.” She couldn’t help saying, “I don’t know how many years it’s been saved.”. Those who did not know about it thought that they had sent a very precious dowry.
My hands trembled for no reason, and big drops of ink fell down, making a mess. A good painting was destroyed in this way.
Jiang Zhen is young, but also know slip of the tongue, know is to bring up my sad things, is very upset.
I coughed twice and said lightly that it didn’t matter. The snow
outside the window is clear, and only a little bit is floating. In the war
half a year ago, General Xie Xiao took the lead, took the lead in penetrating into the hinterland of the enemy, burning the grass camp, and even single-handedly took the head of the enemy, winning the war from inside to outside. When the news of his death was spread, it was a pity that a generation of famous generals fell when they first showed their talents. Now that he has returned safely, the glory will only be high but not low.
I heard about that. He is now favored, young age is not low position, born in the hereditary Wuchang Hou Fu, is really unsealed. The emperor focused on the orphan girl brought back by Xie Yange. With a little imperial pen, she was already a county magistrate with a fief. Married in the future, but also barely be considered well-matched.
I gathered up the scroll and coughed again from my throat.
Jiang Zhenmeilu is concerned: “Elder sister is coughing so badly. Have you taken any medicine?”? Why bother to paint?
I waved my hand to indicate that I had nothing to do. I took the medicine, but the medicine did not cure my heart. I picked up the abandoned picture scroll. I continued to paint this painting for several months one after another. I began to paint it in autumn. Xie Yange asked me for it a long time ago. It’s good to destroy it now. It’s something that can’t be sent out any more. It’s good to
waste it. I put my hand in the wastebasket. When the
carriage was moving forward, it encountered some obstacles. It went out to inquire about the snow and came back to say that there was something on the road ahead.
I couldn’t help coughing again, and Pai Hsueh couldn’t help complaining to me: “Miss, if you want the paper from Chengxin Hall, you can just run errands. Why bother to go there in person?”
I shook my head with a smile.
Holding the snow, she chattered again, “There’s a girl in front of me who has touched the dudes of the Li family.”. Master Li insisted that the girl had stolen a piece of jade pendant from him, so he took the opportunity to wipe it off. As soon as he touched his face, he was sprayed with saliva by the girl. Now the boy is going to have to press on the girl.
I know that the dudes of the Li family are more and more dilapidated from generation to generation, but they feel that they are stained with a little royal blood, have no fame and talent, and can eat, drink, go whoring and gamble. When ordinary girls meet them, they are like civilian women being bullied by bullies, and there is no good ending. I took the sign of Jiang Fu and handed it to Bingxue.
Hold the snow and understand.
She got out of the carriage, her voice was not loud, but her voice was clear, and she attracted everyone
‘s attention at once.
My family’s carriage was passing by, and this happened unexpectedly. My young lady asked if there was any need to ask Yin of the capital to come and see what had happened that was
worth making a fuss about.
This is impartial, only to make things bigger, but it is the most unreasonable dare not.
Peng Xue grew up in Jiang Fu and spoke in style. Relieved, I sat down in the carriage
and smoothed a wrinkle on my skirt, a little absent-minded.
I faintly heard the sound outside, but I must have seen the sign
of Jiang Fu hanging on the carriage and avoided one or two. I was relieved when I heard the voice
of the libertine of the Li family through the heavy blue curtain of the car. He could not hide his frivolity in his
tone. “It was just some misunderstanding, and now it has been cleared up.”. Because
this matter blocked Miss Jiang’s chariot, Li Mou really felt guilty. Why don’t you come
out and I’ll personally apologize to the young lady?
The voice is getting closer and closer. It sounds like it’s going this way. By the time the coda fell, the presumptuous
son of the Li family had probably stepped into the carriage, and the disgusting voice was only separated
from me by a curtain. Holding the snow, I was so frightened that I cried out. I hated that I didn’t bring my bodyguard when I went out.
Otherwise, how could a broken dandy get close to me?
My eyebrows were angry, but inevitably there was a trace of panic. I leaned back subconsciously, and the rings
collided. I felt some sadness again. In vain, I saw that Li Xing’s dirty hand was about to push aside my heavy
blue curtain.
The next moment, however, he heard a cry of pain, followed by the sound of his body falling to the ground.
I heard the man angrily scold, “Dog, how dare you touch anyone?”
When I lifted the curtain of the car, I saw Li Xing’s hand nailed to the ground by a jade hairpin, and his heart vomited blood because of a foot. I looked at the man again, and there was still hostility between his eyebrows and eyes.
I looked the man in the eye. Eyes long and narrow, at the moment because of anger, the corners of the eyes are a little red, a few strands of hair hanging down from the temples. It’s Xie Yange.
Xie Yan Ge looked at me quietly, with panic and concern hidden in his eyes. I held the curtain tightly in my
hand. I am timid, and I have a vague joy. Xie Yange, is it because of me that you are so angry, flustered and concerned?
I thought there was always resentment and hatred when I saw him again, but who knew that my heart was full of humble bitterness.
I smiled at him, but he avoided my eyes.
A girl pounced on him. It was the girl who had been pestered by Li Xing and his boy. The appearance is really discomfited, can not say how beautiful, just more points Jiao Man, wearing a bell between the hair, a move Ding Ding Dangdang. Wearing narrow-sleeved clothes, some similar to Hu clothes, but now cracked in several places, jade white wrist tired of several gemstone bracelets, the whole person can not say vivid dexterity.
If you really want to say something special, it is different from the girls in Shangjing, including me.
She spoke to Hsieh Yan-ge in an arrogant tone, but she was startled after all, and her eyes were pretty and charming: “Hsieh Yan-ge!”! What took you so long?
Xie Yange took off his cloak, put it on her, and tied the belt carefully. The little tyrant of the Hsieh family, who had always done evil and acted recklessly, also let her complain and said softly, “Um.”.
“My fault.” Only then did
I suddenly realize that this arrogant girl was the Qingling girl brought back by Xie Yange.
It was her. Only then did
I realize that his anger, panic, and all his emotions had nothing to do with me.
I raised my hand to cover my mouth and coughed a few times. I was afraid that I would cough up tears when I coughed. That was really a loss of face.
Xie Yan Ge immediately looked over, the mood in the eyes changed several times, in the end or did not say anything.
Holding the snow has been on the car, for me to touch the back, one side of the gas is stuffy, it seems to be angry with their own, blame their own talkative so that the young lady has a good heart, who knows and touch these two pestilence.
Xie Yange motioned to Qingling to thank me. I shook my head and said, “I’m not helping.”
If I had known she was Qingling, I wouldn’t have done it. Xie Yange has always protected his people very
well, but in the end, I am an outsider.
I took my leave. Holding the snow, I untied the curtain of the carriage. I sat upright in the carriage, with my skirt hanging
beside me. I saw a perfect match outside the curtain. What a pair of beautiful people. The moment the
curtain fell, I smiled and said, “I wish you well.”
I remembered my mother combing my long hair and saying, “There are so many good sons in the world. Who can’t match us
?” When the
wagon was moving forward with its wheels, she held my hand in her hand and said, “Miss, you can cry
once, and it will be all right if you cry.” In the end, everyone around me cried because of me, but
I didn’t shed a tear.
I clenched my teeth. It was obviously the beginning of spring. Why was it so
cold?
I straightened my spine as much as I could, but at last I bent uncomfortably. I coughed
violently, and the hanging tears fell down in large drops.
Shiwei Shiwei Hu Bugui?
WeiJun reason, Hu is in the dew? “Miss, why do you bother? You didn’t do anything wrong!” Cri
ed Pangxue. I think of the 17-year-old Hsieh Yan-ge, dressed in fresh clothes and riding in anger.
“The eldest daughter of the Chiang family always follows the rules, and her steps are as precise as if she had been measured. Why do you
bother?”. Why should
I bother?
I covered my face with tears with my big sleeves.
Jiang Yun, you are asking for trouble.
I had a serious illness. Before the
illness, I still saw the snowy color. After the illness was cured, the willow branches had already sprouted, but it was time for the spring scenery
to go to Beijing.
Those things are like snow falling all over the sky, but they disappear again.
When I recovered and appeared in front of everyone, I was the same as before
, except that my face was still pale.
Sun Zai-fu’s granddaughter, You-yi, sent a banquet sticker with the words “Spring Banquet”
written on it. Every spring, there are always big and small banquets in the capital to amuse themselves.
I read the three Chinese characters for “Spring Banquet.” They were elegantly written, and I thought it was a good idea to go back and forth
with Youyisu.
The spring banquet was held by the Yinshui River outside the city. It was too late when I arrived, and almost
all the people had arrived. The host of the banquet, Sun Youyi, came up and took me by the hand and said with a smile, “Why have you lost so much
weight? Are you feeling better?”
I smiled and said it was much better.
Youyi changed the conversation and said to me in a low voice, “You’re here. You’re not here. Lu Shuanghuan is in the limelight.”. During the time you were sick, sometimes she would sing about the snow and boast that she had the talent to sing about the snow, and sometimes she would deliberately run in front of Hsieh Yan-ge to pick some snow water to make tea. Pity the orphan girl Hsieh Yan-ge brought back. She stepped on her skirt, but the snow didn’t make it, but she fell down.
Lu Shuanghuan is a girl of Lu Shilang’s family. She has been trying to compete with me for the title of the first talented woman in Beijing. Besides, who in the circle of noble women doesn’t know that she likes Xie Yange.
I said this to Sun Youyi, but I heard a noise coming from inside. I’m afraid there’s something wrong.
Sun Youyi pulled me forward to see the situation.
I saw a girl sitting in a daze. The inkstone on the table was knocked over. After the ink spoiled all the things on the table, it touched her all over. The lake-blue dress was originally beautiful and tight, but now it has knocked over the ink and dyed a mess. There were also a few black marks on her face. I’m afraid I didn’t expect it to develop like this. The tears in her eyes were mixed with consternation. Instead, she froze, comically like an actor singing on the stage. I know
this girl. Green bell girl.
Lu Shuanghuan and the girl who played well with her sat beside him, as if they had met some great scourges, and dodged far away. You help me one by one.
“Make a good painting. Lord Qingling, how can you be as rude as the barbarians in Lingnan?”
“Oh, it’s a pity to have lost such a good pen, a pen made by Mrs. Guan. It’s really a waste.”
“After all, I was born in a humble family. I feel like I’m lowering my status by having dinner with her.”
When Lu Shuang-huan had had enough of Ching-ling’s appearance, he took the time to say, “Ching-ling is the head of the county. Since you are the head of the county, you have to match your status. Even if you make a painting, it’s really a common thing for a noble woman. How can you make such a joke?”.
Lu Shuanghuan is sure that no one will be against her, this Qingling was born in a low family, climbed up a Xie family mixed to the county head so what? This is the circle of blood and family. If it’s someone else, I can’t say I’ll stand up for her, but this is Qingling. At most, Sun Youyi, the unlucky banquet host, came out and mixed the mud.
I looked at Qingling sitting alone and in a mess, covered with wolves, and was satirized by such words, and my eyes were filled with tears.
It’s pitiful. But the rules of the capital is like this, many rules can not learn is to end up in such an embarrassing end. Even if I help her once, there will be thousands of such scenes in the future. I would like to, smart Qingling learned a lot of rules, is not also become as boring as I am? I’m really in a daze. I feel happy when I think about it like this.
Who knows green bell saw me, still know me, a Jiang elder sister took crying voice. The people around me looked at me in surprise, and those who didn’t know thought I had another daughter in the Jiang family.
I can not laugh, Xie Yan Ge will protect her so innocent, in the end the heart is still sour.
Sun Youyi glanced at me, and I shook my head, meaning that there was no need to worry about me.
She came out to relieve me, scolded Lu Shuanghuan and them, and comforted Qingling, and called the maid to take her down to change clothes. After sitting down,
Sun Youyi drew a picture next to me and whispered to me that Xie Yange valued her very much. Li Xing, who molested her some time ago, was now in prison. Li Xing himself was even more miserable. He was blindfolded and beaten. He almost lost half his life and was disabled by one hand.
I smiled faintly and said, “Well,” he has always been a very protective person. As for the special waste of Li Xing’s hand, it was probably because that hand touched the green bell, not because that hand almost lifted my car curtain. Next to the
banquet, there was a faint voice coming from the lake. I looked up and saw a few boats inside.
Sun Youyi covered his mouth and said with a smile, “It’s full of famous sons from Shangjing. They’re playing here today.”. It was agreed that our paintings would be painted and sent over, and they could pick the bluegrass they liked and wash it. There is a bathing ceremony every spring. In fact, it is to take the bluegrass and dip it in water in front of the girl’s forehead, which means to dispel bad luck, pray for good fortune and so on. A legitimate opportunity to meet the childe.
No wonder the ladies are wearing colorful clothes today, and no wonder Lu Shuanghuan wants to destroy Qingling’s paintings. I didn’t mean to send the painting, but I did it anyway. The title of the painting is similar to the one I lost: Spring Banquet.
I drew a few strokes, swimming in the lake, boating and girls. A young man in fresh clothes was sitting in the
boat, and a girl was standing on the shore. The water was blowing the boat forward
. There was a spring scene in front of it, and the shore was covered with frost and snow.
The young man left the girl in the winter.
I wrote an inscription:
“Spring feast
, green wine, a cup of song,
and then worship Chen San’s wish.”.
First, I wish my husband to be a thousand years old;
second, I wish my concubine to be long and healthy;
third, “
I paused. This word was written by Feng Yan-si, and the next three wishes should be like a swallow on a beam, seeing each other year
after year.”.
I continued to write,
“Three wishes not to see each other year after year.” Don’t meet again. The painting that the
girls sent to the boat soon had an echo. It was hard for Qingling to hand out the thing that was dyed
with ink and could not be seen as a painting, but it was also her message that came back the
fastest. The boy laughed and said that the husband of the Xie family was very interested in the painting.
Lu Shuanghuan’s face was so ugly that she wasted her talent and could not compare with a piece of black
paper.
Youyi laughed out loud directly. Only then did Qingling find her backbone and roll her eyes disdainfully
at Lu Shuanghuan.
I had expected that his preference would be so obvious. Then the
boy bowed to me and said, “The second prince asked, why can’t I see the
girl’s picture?”
I am a little surprised, I really do not have the habit of painting outside, but these paintings are
not signed, from which I found that no self is also a waste of time. Just as it was mentioned casually,
he did not take it to heart and replied that he would send it later.
The boy got the satisfactory news and turned to die again. When I
came, I saw a few peach blossoms beside the banquet. After drinking a few glasses of green wine, I felt a little stuffy, so I went out
for a walk. The guards of the Sun Mansion have cleared this area of danger, and there are many people like me wandering around
. The
peach is young and its brilliance is burning. It is indeed the spring burning on the branches.
I want to go back to brew a few jars of peach blossom wine with Jiang Zhen, maybe I can taste it in autumn. When I turned around, I found someone standing not far away. I don’t know how long I’ve been looking at it.
The man stood beside a cluster of peach branches, the color of which was not inferior to that of peach blossoms and the appearance of green lotus. Golden crown and white clothes, like the peach blossom fairy who lived in the peach forest for a long time, quietly looked at me by mistake.
A piece of peach blossom whirled down and happened to fall on his shoulder, but it made people envy the peach blossom. Zhou Yan,
the second prince.
I should have saluted, but it was rare for me to be stunned.
Zhou Yan smiled, and the peach blossoms all over the sky fell on his eyes.
“Jiang Yun, long time no see.”
Indeed, I haven’t seen you for a long time.
Zhou Yan used to be a student of my father. He was talented. His father was always strict, but he couldn’t help admiring him. His mother was the favorite concubine on the pilgrimage, so he was also greatly favored by the emperor, more powerful than crown prince of the empress, but that was when he was fifteen years old. When Zhou Yan was fifteen years old, all the sixteen States of Yanyun were finally occupied by the Northern Qi Dynasty. The court was in a hurry to sue for peace. The emperor wrote a little. Many cities and countless gold and silver treasures, and Zhou Yan, as the emperor’s favorite son, were given to the Northern Qi Dynasty together.
This time, Xie Yange participated in the war with the Northern Qi Dynasty. At that time, my father sighed in private and said that the two countries were at war. What could the two princes who were protons in the Northern Qi Dynasty do?
But he came back safely, just a narrow escape from death. It was said that he was quite miserable. He was covered with blood and climbed to General Lucci’s horse in the snow. He was almost stabbed to death on the spot as a spy. Who knows how the Northern Qi Dynasty crossed the city, the undercurrent of the Heishui River, the wind and snow all over the sky and the endless pursuers, only the scars all over his body know.
Now looking at his handsome appearance, gentle as jade, but also quietly for his heart. “Long time no see,”
I replied with a smile.
He called Jiang Wei, and I naturally treated him like a former friend. He used to read in the front courtyard of my house, and the fallen flowers were scattered. I walked past the porch with the harp in my hand. He also called me, Jiang Yun. So that he later went to the Northern Qi Dynasty, every time I passed by the vestibule, looking at the fallen flowers on the ground, I thought that there was a lack of a young man in white who was reading.
Zhou Yan’s clear eyes looked at me quietly for a while. The peach blossoms reflected the water marks. He glanced at them very lightly. Maybe I was wrong. I suspected that he was going to cry.
I suddenly felt that he probably had a lot to say.
But he finally said, with a faint smile, “Have you washed in March?”
I was stunned and shook my head gently.
Spring streams float on the willows, and the sun shines softly.
Zhou Yan broke a willow branch, the green bud pecked a branch, and a few willow leaves were long and thin. He touched the water in the stream and gently touched my forehead three times. The stream was a little cold, and I smelled the smell on his body. It was a cold plum fragrance, but it was unexpectedly
good.
The washing ceremony is intended to dispel the bad luck of last year and bestow good fortune of the year.
He reached out and gently rubbed my hair. I looked up subconsciously and saw his beautiful
lips curved.
Chou Yen-tsai reacted and said with a light smile, “Oh, I’ve forgotten that we’re already married
girls.”
I was just about to say something. I saw someone out of the corner of my eye.
I turned to look.
The black horse stopped beside the weeping willow, and Xie Yange leaned lazily against his horse, holding the new
willow in his hand, shaking like a whip. His eyes drooped, his face was expressionless, and he was as cold as if
all the snow had been piled up in the winter before he left.
Zhou Yan chuckled, laughing inexplicably and somewhat cold.
Xie Yan Ge raised his eyes and looked over in the distance. Zhou Yan wiped
away the drops of water that were falling on my eyebrow bone and slowly looked at Xie Yange.
After a while, Chou Yan said, “General Hsieh.”
Xie Yan Ge casually poked the black willow in his hand and smiled.
“I thought the second prince was supposed to be accompanying the imperial concubine and her younger brother in the palace.” I couldn’t speak
because I was unhappy to see Xie Yange. I just lowered my head and saw Zhou Yanyun’s forged sleeve showing a jade hand. It was very beautiful. But see that hand suddenly clenched, tendons and collaterals white, but only a moment, has been restored to its original appearance.
Rong Fei Empress was the mother of Zhou Yanzhi, who had been constantly favored for many years. When Zhou Yanzhi was in the Northern Qi Dynasty, Rong Fei Empress gave birth to another son, and the scenery was infinite.
I looked up at Zhou Yan subconsciously and saw that he still had a smile on his lips, as if what he heard didn’t matter. Without answering
, Chou Yan asked, “Is General Hsieh waiting for the head of Chingling County to perform the ritual?”
Xie Yange’s face was not very good, and he looked at me subconsciously. I felt uncomfortable in my heart, but I saw Zhou Yan move a step in front of me without any trace, which just blocked his view of me.
Two or three words. With a sneer,
Xie Yan Ge turned over his horse, crushed the new willow branches on the ground with his hooves, and stepped on the spring embankment like the wind. I have seen such a figure countless times, and it is hard to avoid losing my mind.
Chou Yan turned around and tapped me on the head.
“Jang, Jang.” He frowned in distress. “Are you so sad?”
I shook my head slightly and said, “No.”
Chou Yan leaned over and looked straight into my eyes. His eyes were as bright as if they had been washed by snow. “You’re lying,” he said softly.
Later, I often saw Zhou Yan in the mansion. Zhou Yan has always been my father’s favorite student. After
he returned from the Northern Qi Dynasty, he quickly returned to his original position. The emperor liked him so much that he overwhelmed the prince on the issue of flood control this spring. Only Xie Yange, who came back from the battlefield, could compare with him in the limelight. When
I passed by the porch with the harp in my arms, I saw him sitting in the courtyard again. When the pear blossoms were blooming, a few white petals fell on his skirt, and his father was not there, so he sat alone. When he didn’t smile, I realized that he was also looking at a person far away. Like snow on a high mountain, beautiful and lonely.
The pear blossoms blew a few pieces in the corridor, and I was careful not to step on the petals.
He was supposed to go to his mother’s place to practice the piano, but he devilishly walked over to Zhou Yan.
I sat down opposite him.
“Why do you always come here?” It was not much time for
him to come back, and he should spend more time with his mother and father in the palace. After all, I haven’t seen it for many years.
Zhou Yan raised his eyes to look at me, and then he had a little look in his eyes. After listening to my words, he smiled like the February wind.
“My father has many children and concubines, and my mother has a younger brother to accompany her. I am happy to have leisure, and I can use your courtyard to hide.”
As I put the instrument away, I replied, “You’re lying.”. Don’t laugh if you don’t want to. Then
he was silent, and a little smile faded.
Do you listen to the piano? I just composed some music the other day.
Zhou Yan did not speak, so I hooked it at will.
The pear blossoms rustled down, and he listened quietly.
After the harp had stopped playing for a long time and the pear blossoms had fallen on my lap, Chou Yen said, I haven’t seen pear blossoms for a long time, and there aren’t even a few flowers in the cold of the Northern Qi Dynasty. I sometimes dream about going to the capital. Chou Yan was in a trance: The winter when I first arrived in the royal city of the Northern Qi Dynasty was not very good. The snow was falling all over the sky, and I was so feverish that I thought it was pear petals falling through my broken window. In
the Northern Qi Dynasty, there was a tall building called the Picking Star Tower. I once climbed up to see it. The building is very high, only separated by a heavy green hill, even the Northern Qi Dynasty and the adjacent turbulent Heishui River of the Great Zhou Dynasty can not be seen, let alone see the capital? Let’s not talk about the people in the capital.. He looked at me and suddenly stopped.
I really can’t say. As soon as
he came back from the Northern Qi Dynasty, a little spirit was finally worn like jade, and he could not see his mind more and more. I heard that when my father had a secret chat with my uncle, he said that this experience was not a blessing. The prince was mediocre, and the two princes were full but not overflowing. I’m afraid there was a great fortune. But what does this have to do with me? I only hope that he will smile and call me again happily.
So I said, “Chou Yan, there are still people waiting for you.”
Rong Concubine has been in constant favor for many years. Apart from her natural beauty, the emperor felt guilty about sending Zhou Yan to be a proton. No one in the circle of noble women in the capital did not know that Xiao Rong Fei had been missing her son, so that the emperor ordered the removal of Zhou Yan’s articles in the palace, in order to prevent Rong Fei from missing people and crying every day.
Chou Yan looked up at me as he listened to the fallen flowers on the harp. He curled his lips and smiled: “Yes.”
My heart settled a little and I picked up the harp.
“I’m going to practice the piano. Mother should be anxious.”
He got up, twirled the fallen flowers from my hair, and gave me a soft “hum.”. The fragrance of
Zhou Yan’s body is better than that of pear flowers, and I feel a little uncomfortable.
When I came to the end of the long corridor, I looked back and saw the young man in white and golden crown standing under the pear tree to see me off. I palpitation for no reason and turned around quickly. When
I took the harp to my mother’s yard, I realized that the drunken man’s intention was not to drink.
Mother and Lady Jade are here. Some of the scrolls on the table had not yet been put away, but they were all portraits of the childe. I looked away in a hurry and blushed with shame. Yes, if the marriage with Xie Yange is not broken, I should concentrate on sewing the wedding dress to be married now.
My mother and Lady Yu called me to her, and she asked me half jokingly, “Ah, did you meet any good-looking men at the spring banquet that Youyi held?” I was half ashamed and annoyed, but I remembered Zhou Yan’s smiling appearance under the peach branch, and shook
my head in the end.
“Never.” Lady
Yu withdrew her eyes with some disappointment. The
mother pointed to a scroll lying on the table. “These are the good boys I chose with your aunt,” she said
bluntly. “Let’s see if you like any
of them.” “If it hadn’t been for that bastard of the Hsieh family
, how could the girls of the Jiang family have tarnished their reputation for nothing?”
His mother sneered? It’s all right for him. He’s very happy and
his horse is very sick.
I lowered my eyes and turned over the scrolls. Opening
the first picture, it was the second son of the Guogong family. His appearance and conduct were acceptable, but he
neither occupied the throne nor the throne, so he could not inherit the title.
The second picture shows that the eldest son of the Liu family, a scholarly family, was born well. Unfortunately, the small characters at the bottom of the
picture show that there are already two concubines in the room.
I saw the past at a glance, but it was the kind of childe who could never reach the threshold
of marriage with the Jiang family before. I stopped looking and turned around to find that my mother’s eyes were red.
I knelt down in front of my mother and said sadly, “It’s Ah Wan who has brought shame
on the Jiang family.” Lady
Yu sighed and shook her head.
Mother touched my head and said, “Don’t you feel sad?”? It’s a pity that my daughter of the Chiang family has turned out to be so beautiful that she has been splashed with ink for no reason.
In fact, when I was 14 years old, I had such a scene.
At that time, Lady Yu and her mother looked through the mountain files, and people who intended to get married even personally sent picture scrolls. Mother and Lady Yu searched for half a day, and the mother said, “The eldest son of the royal family in the west of the city looks handsome, the family is peaceful, and he is a good son-in-law.” Lady
Yu said, “The second son of the princess has been admiring him for a long time, and now he has passed the imperial examinations, such as the Zhilan in front of the court, and his future is limitless.” But it’s hard for
me to say: “The Hsieh family has a beautiful style, and they have a wonderful son.”
But now I just hit my head on the ground shallowly.
“It’s up to the mother to decide the marriage.” When
I walked out of the door, the pear blossoms were covered with white, like snow falling in winter. I lowered my head and twirled a piece of pear blossoms. In fact, it should be like this. I obeyed my parents’orders, stepped into another door from one door, and lived the same life again. Xie Yan Ge did not provoke me, but I also relaxed a lot. That’s as it
should be.
Change came quickly, the queen called her daughter into the palace to enjoy the flowers, but she held my hand and praised me all the time.
My heart sank, but my face was still smiling.
The queen was the wife of the emperor, and now she was more than forty years old. Somehow, she was as old as fifty years old. The prince has twenty-four or five, the house has the imperial concubine, the side of the imperial concubine. My heart sneer at, the queen is anxious to find the side of the imperial concubine rumors for the prince is actually true.
The queen smiled until her eyes were wrinkled, but I felt her hand holding me more and more sticky.
She said she would give me a pair of jade Ruyi. I hurriedly pulled up my skirt and knelt on the ground, claiming that I had no virtue and no merit, and I was ashamed to accept it.
The queen narrowed her eyes, and the ten-fingered Kou Dan was surprisingly long, with a cool smile hidden in it, but with the tone of the command of the long-reigning superior.
“Miss Chiang accepted what I gave her.” The jade Ruyi given by
a pair of empresses can be put in the dowry as the first thing to support the face of any girl when she gets married. But who does not know I now discuss marriage, who does not know the prince side concubine position is empty, this jade Ruyi sent to Jiang Fu, the queen’s meaning is more obvious, this is afraid to be again crooked melon crack jujube childe also do not want to marry me. I
hated it so much that I clasped my nails twice in the palm of my hand and was about to thank him. But he heard a voice from the door of the temple.
“Here you are, so I can easily find you.”
I turned my head and saw the young man with golden crown and cloud sleeves coming from the bright place at the entrance of the hall, as bright as the sun and the moon. Zhou Yan saluted the empress with a smile and pulled me up as if no one was watching. He turned and bowed again, with an apologetic look on his face.
“My mother and concubine have been looking for her for a long time, and Yan’er wants to borrow someone from you for a while.”
The queen’s Kou Dan knocked on the table to show the sound, but the smile was still peaceful.
“Since your mother and concubine are anxious to see you, this palace is not stuck.” When I
saw Rong Fei, I realized that it was reasonable for her to be loved for many years, and that she stood with
me like a sister.
Rong Fei’s appearance is beautiful, no wonder Zhou Yan’s appearance is so beautiful. Concu
bine Yung was delighted to see me, but her first words were not to me. She turned her face sideways and said to Chou
Yan, “So it’s her.” “Yes,”
said Chou Yan with a smile.
She took off a red coral bracelet from her hand and gave it to me. She wanted to say more to me.
Unfortunately, the wet nurse in the palace came forward with the crying seven princes in her arms. Rong Fei no longer had the energy to entertain
us. She was full of coaxing the little prince. Zhou Yan’s expression did not change, and he saluted and retired.
Rong Fei did not lift her eyes, but waved her hand. When Zhou Yan and
I stepped out of the gate, we could still hear the children crying, and there was a faint voice of Rong
Fei coaxing the seven princes. I couldn’t help looking at Zhou Yan. He looked faint, as
if he didn’t care.
It was dusk, and half of his side face was cut in the sunset, which was too
beautiful to be true.
Zhou Yan turned his head in a funny way.
“Why do you look at me with pitiful eyes when I am kind enough to relieve you?”
I shook my head sincerely. It turned out that I had thought wrong before. I’m afraid that Empress Rong Fei did not miss her son as much as she used to say. Previously, in the Rong Fei Palace, it was clear that both of them looked soft, but when they met, they were tepid. In the end, they were estranged.
Only the poor childe came back from crossing the water and bathing in the snow. He had both brothers and parents. The whole palace was so big that there was no one waiting for him wholeheartedly.
Zhou Yan could not see me pity his appearance, close to me, smiling more and more softly:
“I’ll tell you another secret, Jiang.” But there is a great deal of pain hidden in this softness. “When I first became a proton, my mother and concubine cried and asked my father for help.” Before the war
with the Northern Qi Dynasty, the most favored person in the palace was neither the empress nor Rong Fei, but Xie Lingyun, the daughter of the Xie family and Xie Yange’s aunt, and Qi Ying, the queen of the Northern Qi Dynasty. The two daughters were extremely talented and beautiful, and were divided into two colors in the palace, spring and autumn. A court struggle made the emperor furious and executed Xie Lingyun and Qi Ying, but the Northern Qi Dynasty, which had already had the intention of fighting, took the word to hold Dazhou accountable for the death of the princess and left for the south.
When the sixteen States of Yanyun fell, the city of wealth and silk filled the appetite of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and a proton that was more favored than prince added to the face of the Northern Qi Dynasty’s victory. At this point, the Northern Qi Dynasty was satisfied and no longer went south to attack. The emperor has been satisfied, at least there is no sorrow in the short term. The queen was satisfied, and the dull prince did not have a smart prince to compete with him. Rong Fei is also the same, the emperor’s guilt is longer than love. But Zhou Yan is an abandoned son.
It is the only imperfection in the perfection of everyone.
I asked him softly, “What do you see every time you look back at Picking Stars?”
Zhou Yan looked at me, but did not smile again, his eyes were dark, for a moment I thought
he would say something. But he was silent for a while. “I told you
,” he said with a smile, “you can’t see anything in the green mountains.” I can’t see
anything.
I sighed and remembered to thank Zhou Yan, but how to avoid marrying the queen
was a headache. As
I bent over to thank him, Zhou Yan grabbed my wrist and lifted me straight.
“You never need to say thank you to me, Jiang Yun.”
My heart is confused, is facing his eyes, white sleeves and my blue sleeves in the wind
.
I heard him say, “It just so happens that you have given up your marriage. It just so happens that my concubine’s seat is empty, and it just so happens that
I have always had a hard time with the empress and the crown prince. It doesn’t matter if I offend her again.”. It happened that you wanted to get
engaged, and it happened that my mother and concubine arranged for me to marry a wife. You see, so many places happened to be together
. Are we just right? Isn’t it?
My heart was as confused as if it had been blown by the wind, and he forced me to look into his eyes. The twilight seemed to be almost over, and it took me a while to find my soul and say,
“It’s getting late. It’s time for me to go home.”
I left in a hurry, carrying my skirt as if I were running away. I was stopped as I
got into the chariot.
I never thought that the word “Jiang” could be read out to him again.
I paused, turned around, and looked at Xie Yange with my sleeves closed.
The first two times I saw him, I didn’t look at him carefully. It turned out that he had grown taller after more than a year.
Once I could barely reach his shoulder, but now I have only about my chest. The spirit of youth is still
there, and there is more cold air to be honed on the battlefield.
He came through the twilight, and I could only smile in vain.
He stopped in front of me, and I stepped back subconsciously. I couldn’t accept being within three feet of him
.
Xie Yange withdrew his eyes from my retreating feet and put his hand on the scabbard
. I guess he was angry. He was the only one who disliked others. No one else disliked
him. He probably couldn’t stand it.
He looked at me.
“Stay away from Chou Yen, Jiang Kui.” I laughed when I
heard it. When you
see the warmth of his face, you know what kind of sophisticated man he is? In the fourth year of the Northern Qi Dynasty, do you know how he led several princes to fight and fight among themselves in the Northern Qi Dynasty, and how he lived in perfect peace? “There are so many good men in the world,” said Hsieh Yan-ge, getting a little angry. “You shouldn’t be near Chou Yan.”
It sounded as if he had made great sacrifices. My eyes are sour, but I still want to smile.
I said, “Even so, what does it have to do with you?”
Xie Yan Ge, I am a grass and a firefly, and what does it have to do with you? What does it have to do with your Xie Yange?
He was dumb and his face was white.
I continued, “Are there so many good men in the world?” With a sarcastic look on my lips, I lowered my voice and said, The prince’s side concubine, the concubine of the Duke who can’t inherit the title, and the son of the Liu family who has a concubine, such a family is discussing marriage with my Jiang family. Xie Yange-really, thanks to you. Most of the good men in the
world have nothing to do with me.
I turned out the worst appearance and stabbed myself with blood. Xie Yan Ge staggered back two steps, I heard that he was single-handedly on the battlefield against thousands of troops, but the color did not change, half a step back.
I was in terrible pain, but I felt happy when I saw his frustrated appearance. He was such a proud man that he had never had such a face in his life.
Whose girl, gnash her teeth to love, to hate a person. The tears on his face are still smiling.
I blame you for accompanying her. I blame you for occasionally thinking of my guilt, and I blame you for having to mention me because of this guilt. But who wants you to feel guilty, who wants you to feel sorry?
As Hsieh Yan-ge walked back, I stood behind him and said coldly, “I have only one wish, and I ask
you to fulfill it.”
He stopped. The afterglow of the setting sun dissipated in the end, and the cold moon poured like silver. The shadow of the
young man is blurred in the tears in my eyes, and the cold spring blows in the wind.
I said, “I hope not.” If you
don’t see it, you don’t know it. You don’t know that you will come back when you die. You don’t know that you are congenial to others
. You don’t know that you worship heaven and earth three times with others. Even if I hear that the husband of the Hsieh
family is in love with his wife, I can laugh and deceive myself that my unmarried
husband died in the battle of that year, and that he died in the dream
of coming back to marry me. As for later, I never mentioned it again. How much do
I owe you in my previous life? In the end, I have to pay you back with tears and face in this life.
I hope not, you will never appear in front of me, I will think you and I are clear.
Xie Yan Ge turned around, and the silver moon hung high above him. His eyes were red, and he cut off
the endless romance in the world. The
young general straightened his back.
“I also have a wish.”
“May all your wishes come true.” The moonlight of that day was so cold.
I shed tears all over my face and smiled.
At that time, Xianyi Nu Ma was young, and I thought that I didn’t want to meet him later. There are two hot topics in
Beijing recently.
First, Zhou
Yan, the second prince, who has become more and more popular in recent days and has become the dream of many noble girls, is engaged to Jiang Yan, the eldest daughter of Jiang Taifu’s family, who has just retired.
Second, the war faction headed by the Xie family in the court, because of whether to continue to send troops to recover the sixteen States of Yanyun
, and the peace faction headed by the queen’s mother Yongchang Hou,
argued in the court. I have heard about
the latter vaguely, and it is really very noisy. The sixteen States of Yanyun are not only located
in the fortress, but also represent the face of Dazhou who was beaten to the ground by the Northern Qi Dynasty many years ago. Xie Yange
‘s two uncles died on the battlefield guarding the city.
But it has nothing to do with me.
Because I’m getting married.
Mother is picky, but she can’t find fault with Zhou Yan. Zhou Yanrensheng Yuk Sau, mind
is also sufficient, please is Mufu Quanfu lady wood old lady to kiss. My mother was so surprised that her handwriting
changed color when she was hired. Lady Yu teased me and said that the two princes had moved all the storehouses of the Empress Rong
to hire them.
My face is hot.
Wait until the time to see Zhou Yan, get along with it is not as natural as before, not to mention not married
men and women should avoid suspicion.
So as soon as I saw Zhou Yan, I was ready to take a detour, and Zhou Yan sighed
.
I stopped and heard him say with a sigh, “If I had known Miss Chiang had accepted my betrothal gift,
I wouldn’t recognize her in a flash. In the end, I lost both my money and my wife.”
I turned my head, angry and ashamed.
“Who doesn’t recognize people for no reason?”
But I bumped into his long and narrow eyes full of smiles, and my ears suddenly became hot.
“You don’t have any bad intentions for this prince, do you? Why are you so
ashamed?”
I didn’t stammer for a long time. With his hands behind his back
, Chou Yan bent over me and said, “I’m an idle prince, and I’m not
short of time.”. Then ask Miss Chiang for more advice.
The pear blossoms fell gently, and his eyebrows and eyes were tender and tender.
I was angry, but I couldn’t help laughing. It was not a bad thing to marry Zhou Yan. The
flowers in the forest have withered, and in a twinkling of an eye, it is time for the cicadas to chirp and the lotus to begin. The wedding date will be in the early spring of next year. Mother wanted to keep me for two more years, but Zhou Yan persuaded her to sit there twice.
My violin and my harp were idle, and my mother was so interested in my needlework that she often came to see my embroidered wedding dress. It was rare to have a banquet in the
palace, and my mother took me and Jiang Zhen to the palace banquet. Sun Youyi’s wedding date was tight, and he was going to marry to the Wei family in Baoding in early autumn, so he didn’t come again. Lu Shuanghuan has come, she has also been engaged, probably for many years can not wait for any response from Xie Yange, but also desperate.
Although it was a banquet in the palace, the rules were a little more, but the women gathered together, and the small words were always endless.
From the strange things in the court to the childe who spends thousands of yuan for the flower queen, everything is involved.
I listened with a smile.
I am filling a glass of plum wine for Jiang Zhen, which is sweet. I suddenly heard. How could
General Hsieh Hsiao be so muddle-headed as to commit such a great event? In the past, he looked so reckless, but in the end, his mother died of anger, and the glorious linchpin of the Hsieh family for generations was ruined by him alone.
I was startled, and Chiang Chen reminded me in a low voice: “Elder sister, it’s already overflowing.” Then
I came to my senses and put away the jade pot. I
turned sideways and smiled. “What’s going on?” I asked. Just as
they were talking enthusiastically, they turned their heads and looked at me with a slight surprise. When they saw that it was me, they knew it. Miss
Jiang, don’t you know? The Xie family was too proud, because he Taishi was always at odds with him in the court, so he ruined the girl of the He Taishi family. He found out again that he had secretly communicated with the Northern Qi Dynasty to make a windfall. No wonder he advocated war. Now the Xie family is full of custody, but he took a Qingling County Lord and did not know where to escape. It is a sin.
Because of all the previous reasons, the family was not allowed to pass on the news of the Xie family, and I was waiting to get married in the boudoir, and I didn’t step out for a long time, but I didn’t know that such a big thing had happened.
The court above unexpectedly because of this Yanyun sixteen state things make so much, the Xie family also can not escape the past. Yes, even though there are thousands of mistakes between Xie Yange and me, I still know that he has the ambition to recapture the sixteen States of Yanyun. The girl of the
Liu family gave me a pitying look and said slowly, “You’re lucky, Jiang. Fortunately, he broke off your marriage earlier.”
I looked at her with familiar eyes and remembered that after I was divorced by Xie Yange, she also looked at me with pity and said, “Jiang Wei, don’t be too sad. After all, General Xie is young and romantic.” Holding the hairpin on my temples,
I calmly asked, “Do you want this blessing?” As soon as
she choked, she turned back and continued to speak. When I
saw that Lu Shuanghuan was about to speak, I thought she was trying to get a slap in the face. But as soon as she said it, she said, I knew earlier that he was not a gentleman. He kept pestering me and even tried to molest me many times. I used to be deceived by a pair of skins, but now I finally know his true face. I used to think he was a teenage hero. Pity the girls of the Ho Ta-shih family, who are really lucky to be beautiful.
It turned out to be as angry as being cheated.
I stopped.
Eyes to sweep around, gathered a group of young ladies all covered their mouths full of disgust, who can know a few months ago when Xie Yange was proud of the scenery, this one is busy throwing silk flowers for him?
The world turns. At the beginning, I only liked it a little, but now I have to return it with a hundred times of abuse.
Jiang Zhen took my wrist and shook her head gently at me. I thought about it and broke away.
Xie Yan Ge is not only Xie Yan Ge, but also General Xie Xiao, who was bloodied with a silver gun on the battlefield a year ago. I have read so many books before, and none of them taught me to treat heroes like this before the truth is unknown.
I put my hands together in my sleeves, not disorderly, and raised my chin a little, just in the arc of contempt.
I opened my mouth slowly: “Lu Shuanghuan, you have said all the good things, and Xie Yange has pestered you in every way.”? If you really have a sense of self-knowledge and a sense of shame, you will not be able to talk about such daydreams.
A young lady laughed out loud, Lu Shuanghuan used to pester Xie Yange in all kinds of ways, who doesn’t know in the circle of noble women? Xie Yan Ge annoyed Lu Shuanghuan to death, and who does not know?
I glanced steadily at one face after another, dodging my eyes.
I said calmly, Last year, when the Northern Qi army of tigers and wolves went south again, many of the princes in the capital were reluctant to go. It was Xie Yange who volunteered. Before that, several generals of the Xie family had died for their country. It was he who first went deep into the enemy camp, made a sneak attack on the burning grass, risked his life, and took the head of the enemy general with a single shot. If the daughter’s family has half a sense of awe, it should not be before the cause and effect of innocence has not been thrown to the ground, a mouth reversed black and white. It should be noted that the pain of words is even greater than that of weapons.
But hear applause, because this is a female banquet, only the queen is here.
Sure enough, the crowd retreated a little, and the queen came out.
“That’s a good point.”
The queen’s spirit seemed to be much better than last time she saw her, and she was still smiling softly. Spare me the gift.
He Taishi is the ancestral home of the empress. The empress made peace with the princelings and was at odds with the Xie family. That’s all I need to know. Besides, when I was engaged to Zhou Yan, I really didn’t give her face.
“Then tell me, what is black and white?” I said, “I am too stupid to say anything.”. But for one thing, the result of the minister’s daughter knowing about the Dali
Temple and the court was that she was white.
“So it is.” When I was about to fall
asleep in the middle of the night, I was awakened by the gentle sound of “Ah” and “Ah”
. There was a dim figure in front of the tent. I subconsciously wanted to scream, but my mouth was covered by a warm
palm.
Who would have thought that General Xie Xiao, who was wanted by Man Shangjing, would be in front of my account at the moment.
I half sat up and gathered up the quilt. When
he was in such a mess, I could only see him about twice in my life, once at my
ceremony and once now.
Xie Yange turned sideways. He had always been proud, and he might not be willing to let me see him in such a
mess.
I lowered my voice, but I couldn’t stop my teeth from clashing in fear:
“You …” .what is this?!
Xie Yange turned his face away from my eyes.
“I came to ask you for a painting.” As if he was afraid I wouldn’t answer, he added, “You should have answered earlier
.”
Yes, before he went to war, I sent him a copy of “Spring Banquet”, which was painted and abandoned.
Finally, there was only one in Sun Youyi’s banquet, which was put in the tube of the table for me. It’s the painting that has disappeared year after year.
I gnashed my teeth and couldn’t say a single word: “So what?”? There are so
many promises in the world, and isn’t it possible for everyone to keep them? How much is
a painting worth? Is it worth one more trip? Even though
you have lost your head on your neck, you have come to seek a vague promise.
Xie Yan Ge looked down at me, but I felt that he had fallen into the dust for no reason, and I
was also very painful.
I actually feel that my face is disgusting.
My hatred is obvious: “Xie Yange, how much do I owe you in my previous life?”? I want my tears and
blood to pay for each other in this life.
Xie Yange reached out his hand to wipe a tear from the corner of my eye, and a streak of blood appeared on his eyebrow bone. His
hands were shaking.
“Listen, Jiang, we have nothing to do with each other.” What
is irrelevant? Marriage
is irrelevant. I will watch you step on someone else’s bridal sedan chair, I will watch others bless you
with joy all the year round, and I will hear with a smile that your children and grandchildren play with each other.
Life and death are irrelevant. The road is so dark that I can walk alone.
I said yes. The painting was on the table, and the words were always changed by me. He originally wanted three wishes, just like
the painting of Yan on the beam, but now he took it away and didn’t want to see it, but it was also appropriate. When
Xie Yange was about to leave, I asked, “Are you going to die?” “Very likely,”
he said. “Do you regret it?”
I asked.
He stopped, but said, “No regrets.”
I said yes. In fact, a long time later, I learned that everything said that there was a turn for the better, but no
one said that, from beginning to end, some people have only one choice, for the sake of a little mission inherited
in the blood, they must lose something. Xie Yange is like this, and so am
I.
I became the best eldest daughter of Jiang Taifu’s family. From a high-spirited little general,
he became a fugitive suspect in the court, no matter in the past
or in the present, because of this.
The heavy rain inclines, the Chinese flowering crabapple hits withered. Two octagonal lamps in
the corridor were lit, shaking in the wind and rain.
I waited quietly in the rain with an umbrella.
The rain moistened the skirt, like a painting. The door was finally opened, the childe in white came out, the wind and rain could not blow him, but did not distinguish
his eyebrows and eyes.
I looked up and said, “Chou Yan, please save him.”
Zhou Yan stood on the high level and looked down at me. I never thought he was so far away.
“Is it to save Hsieh Yan-ge or to save General Hsieh?” His voice came through the rain curtain.
Is it to save Xie Yange, who once had friendship with you, or to save General Xie Xiao, who is loyal to the country and is now being framed
?
My long eyelashes trembled, and the cold air poured in.
I stood for a long time, and the Chinese flowering crabapple died peacefully at my feet. “It’s General
Hsieh,” I said.
In the past, I fell asleep with Begonia.
He chuckled, but inexplicably brought the cold rain. The young man in
white went down the stairs, and the rain hit him, but he ignored it.
He walked up to me and leaned over slightly, and then I saw his expression in the rain, and
his eyebrows and eyes were as cold as frost.
I handed over some umbrellas.
Zhou Yan pinched my chin. “When I first arrived in the Northern Qi Dynasty, some nobles took pleasure in bullying me. Later, when the royal family was hunting, I pulled a long arrow in the
mountains and took his life with one arrow.”
“The imperial concubine of the Northern Qi Dynasty was greedy for my face and wanted to give me medicine, so I gave her the dirtiest
man in the world.”
He pointed down hard, and his eyes became darker and darker.
“Jiang Yun, do you think I’m some kind of natural good person?” The
noble childe finally revealed his black inside to me.
I loosened the umbrella, the rain hit down, I felt the chill all over the body, but gently, very
lightly, hugged Zhou Yan.
It was a hot body, but it was stiff because of my sudden closeness.
Black Lotus Childe wanted to frighten the girl in front of him with his unsightly past, but how could he
expect that she did not appear to panic, nausea, but gently hugged him?
A heavy rain fell from the sky, and the Chinese flowering crabapple wallowed in the courtyard.
I sighed, “Chou Yan.”. I am here
Zhou Yan hugged me back very lightly, as if hugging a cloud. But he pushed harder
and harder, as if he were trying to embed me in my bones.
His voice, however, was cold and calm: “Jiang Yun.” His
fate belongs to him.
You are mine from now on. When the last stitch of
my wedding dress fell, it was already autumn.
Sun Youyi had already married to Baoding, and before she left, her eyebrows and eyes were full of smiles, and she was probably very satisfied with her husband. I wish her the best. She leaned over and hugged me and said in my ear, “Ah, don’t worry about the past.”. It’s hard to find another person in the world who is as devoted to you as Chou Yan.
Generally speaking, you can see the depth of your feelings. You think that Zhou Run is deep and all kinds of feelings are very good, but others can see the feelings in your eyes at a glance.
Zhou Yan. Zhou Yan.
I wouldn’t have listened to Xie Yange again, but the storm was too big to hear.
Hearing that Xie Yange and Qingling had not been arrested for a long time, the queen’s brother, the Marquis of Yongchang, advised in court that the evidence was conclusive and difficult to argue, and that the Xie family, who had been imprisoned, could be punished as an example. The emperor said to play. Zhou Yan, the second prince, who
had always kept silent about the matter, came out slowly and said that he had something to play. The day will change when this thing is announced.
In the past, all the people who identified the Xie family turned against the spearhead. He Taishi cried and said that his daughter was born silly and could not be seen in the cabinet. Whether General Xie could do it remained to be discussed.
Du Wei said that it was true that he secretly communicated with the Northern Qi Dynasty to make a windfall, but it was the queen’s mother clan that did it. Several imperial censors immediately said with tears in their eyes that the prince had a lot to do with deceiving the people.
This is a small dish. Who would have thought that Xie Yange and Qingling, who had disappeared for many days, would appear. Depressed, with sunken cheeks, but with starry eyes. Kneel to the throne, kneel out of a palace secret.
Today, Shengshangyuan is not such an inactive emperor, many changes in the final analysis can not escape the death of Xie Lingyun of the Xie family and Qi Ying, the queen of the Northern Qi Dynasty. The scenery of the two people is so beautiful that the grass covers a volume and sweeps away everything of the two beautiful women. At this time to this day, it is still forbidden to hear in the capital. But according to the strange gossip, it was Princess Qi Ying who gave birth to a monster and discovered witchcraft in Xie Lingyun’s palace. The emperor was furious, and the two of them died.
Hsieh Yan-ge smiled at the empress, who had been hurriedly corrected, and asked, “Does the empress remember the fuse that caused the fall of the sixteen States?”? Princess Qi Ying gave birth to an unlucky monster, and finally let the girl of the Xie family die instead. The descendants of the princess are here.
Qingling kowtowed. The last time she kowtowed, she became the head of the county from an orphan girl of unknown origin. Now she kowtowed, and became the princess from the head of the county.
All kinds of reversals, it is estimated that in Beijing can be used as a year’s after-dinner talk. If you write in the book again, you will not be able to stop for decades. When
the crown prince fell and the empress was deposed, the Hsieh family returned to its former glory, and General Hsieh personally welcomed his aunt’s clothes into the ancestral grave. To put it in a small way, it was General Xie who had become a fragrant baboon in the eyes of your daughter; to put it in a big way, it was the peace faction that had fallen completely, and the sixteen States of Yanyun had to be brought back by themselves. There are not many sons and daughters of
the emperor, and now there is only one adult prince, Zhou Yan. It is well known that the two princes are not as good as they look. Stand in line again, shuffle, mess up, you sing and I come on stage. And now the two princes are pouring tea opposite me, with flowing clouds and running water movements and long eyelashes hanging
down, very leisurely and comfortable.
I looked at him for a long time, but I couldn’t hold back. “What happened between Qi Ying and Hsieh Ling-yun
?”
Chou Yan waited for a long time, but probably didn’t expect me to ask this question, but he couldn’t help laughing
and said lightly, “Princess Qi Ying and Empress Yun, in fact, their relationship is
not as bad as the outside world has said, but on the contrary.” The relationship between the two people is not the usual
sisterhood. Qi Ying was pregnant and gave birth to a daughter, but was replaced by a skinned civet cat designed by the queen,
and pushed to the reason of Yun Fei’s witchcraft. My mother and concubine are also pushing
a little bit in there. It’s just an ordinary palace fight.
He said a few words and made light of it, but I could feel the terrible waves.
I meant to be curious, but I couldn’t help feeling that he had a hard time in the past.
“Is it all like this in the palace?”
Chou Yan looked up and said with a smile, “Most of the time, yes.” His
eyes fell on me, and his voice was soft and firm.
“But we won’t.”
I want to tease him.
We? Which ones?
Just me and you. We. “We won’t be like that?”
Zhou Yan stood up and bent over me. The teacup on the small table was swept to the ground by his wide sleeve.
His lips were warm and light. He followed down from my eyes bit by bit, and finally touched my lips
. I tried to lean back, but one of his hands went into my hair and trapped the back of my head.
His eyelashes were so long that they fell on my face as if they were scratching my heart. He was like a dormant
beast, gently tracing my lips, and when I relaxed, he pried open his teeth and
drove straight in. I have no way to escape.
I gasped a little, and it took him a long time to let go of me, with a rare look of satisfaction on his face.
Chou Yan put his hand against my forehead, and his eyes were so serious: “Only you, and you will always be.”. I
only like you, too. Jiang Yun.
Princess Qingling wanted to see me, and this was the first time I had met her in
private since I knew she existed.
She is still vivid, and it should be the frontier that can produce such ethereal flowers.
Qingling’s eyes were red and she said she was wrong.
I asked, what’s wrong with you?
She said that if it were not for her, it might not be so.
So what? You and I both know.
I said, no.
Qingling told a story that I had never heard before.
She said that Xie Yange could have won a complete victory on the battlefield and retreated, and that she had already secretly searched the location where Qingling was hidden by the palace people, so she secretly went to meet him in person. Unexpectedly, he was ambushed and his trusted followers were all killed. He and Qingling encountered countless assassinations along the way, and he understood more and more how difficult it was to walk.
Qingling said, Sister Jiang, he was as dirty as a beggar all the way, but he always paid attention to wiping the dust off his hands bit by bit with snow water and taking out the things placed against his heart. He rubbed them repeatedly, but never saw him open them. I was sometimes curious and asked him what it was. He did not speak, but turned his head and smiled at me. The next day, he hurried on. He said he was going to the best ceremony, and someone was still waiting for him. I didn’t understand at that time why his words were so happy, but sounded so sad.
Qingling said, just like I don’t understand why he came back satisfied, but broke off the marriage in public. When the curtain opened that day, I saw you sitting in the car. I knew it. It was you. It was just you. I made you sad. After going back, Xie Yange practiced his sword all night, and the bamboo was cut in a mess by him. He said to me, Qingling, he will never be happy again in his life. And then I found out. Had it not been for the obscure reason of love, who could have been tied to him all the time, dodging suspicions and countless hidden assassinations.
There is another reason.
If fate hangs on your head, do you dare to pull your girl to bear it together?
He’s afraid, too. Even people like him are afraid. I looked at the green bell crying hard to breathe, a drop of tears suddenly fell on the hand, I touched, the original
face is full of tears.
I stopped her and said no more.
Of course. So far, I have been satisfied. It turned out that in those years of hard work,
no one let me down. I’m satisfied. I
once had a winter when I was so sick that I was in a trance. Sometimes I saw a young man in black clothes riding
a black horse and laughing outside the window. Sometimes I saw a house full of stunned guests and a resolute figure walking
into the wind and snow; Sometimes I think of that year when I went out on the street, my hat was blown over by the wind, and the
young man who went down the stairs smiled lazily and said “good color”.
But I’m not stuck in winter anymore.
Someone wiped the last tear from my cheek, and I looked up in ignorance.
Chou Yan looked at me and said, “I only want you to cry for him one more time.”
“Good.”
The emperor was seriously ill after the incident of the crown prince, and the second prince, Zhou Yan, supervised the country. After
the first winter snow, Zhou Yan took me to the palace in the name of Rong Fei.
Zhou Yanzheng and Xie Yange were cooking tea and talking in front of the pavilion, probably for the purpose of going to war this year.
When I walked over, Zhou Yanji naturally held my hand and asked why I was wearing so little. I laughed and said enough.
When I looked back, I found that I didn’t know when Xie Yange had gone.
The snow had stopped, and he walked alone. There is a vast expanse of whiteness in the snow, and for the sake
of elegance, the snow in this area has always been unclear. Xie Yange walked one foot at a time, but as if
he had tripped, he suddenly fell into the snow and could not get up for a long time.
Chou Yan turned to me with a smile and said, “Let’s go too.”
Well, we.
Zhou Yan walked in front, and I followed his footprints.
The wind was blocked by him, and it was snow-white and moist.
I suddenly thought that it would be impossible to go on like this.
Xie Yan Ge Fanwai-The world is safe to have both
Xie Yan Ge was once young and frivolous, boasting that he was the best in the world. His aunt favored the crown harem, and
his father and grandfather were all heroes guarding the rivers and mountains of Dazhou. At the beginning of his life, this was the appearance that God
wanted to say that he was proud. Father Hsieh asked, “My son, what
is your ambition?” He took back the sword in his hand, and a peach blossom on the sword did not tremble. Xie Yan Ge frowned and said nothing
.
Later, my aunt died in vain, and the two uncles were laid to rest on the battlefield of the sixteen States of Yanyun. Xie’s mansion was
crying, and the sixteen States of Yanyun fell. The glory of the Xie family, which had not moved for a hundred years, was finally covered
with a shadow. Xie Yan Ge knelt down to his uncle’s coffin. He closed his eyes. He knew
that his ambition in life was not to be a first-class romantic young man, but to recapture the lost things for his ancestors.
Xie Yange was unrestrained and clear-cut. No matter what happened later, he never regretted seeing him for the first time. He ascended the stairs, and the wind blew the veil of a fifteen-year-old girl just under his feet. He picked it up. If there is such a thing as seeing a gentleman for a lifetime, then there should be such a thing as seeing Jiang Kui for a lifetime. On that day, the sunlight was like colored glaze, and the young girl stood full, with a fragile feeling of alienation and coldness from her neck to her eyebrows. Hsieh Yan-ge doesn’t know how to love, so he presses down his sour heart. He is as lazy and haughty as usual, lingering and saying “good color.”.
He had been to so many places in his life, but he could never forget the rustling of the bamboo forest. When he saw Jiang, it was like seeing a goddess.
Jiang Fu in the east of the city, Xie Fu in the west of the city, Xie Yan Ge often rode across more than half of the capital, his luck has not been very good, nine times out of ten can not meet Jiang. Only once, he reined in his horse and stopped, full of heart pounding, but also carrying his three points of alienation and arrogance of the son of the Xie family. He had never made anyone happy, so it was no wonder that this young man was so reckless. Xie Yange looked down at Jiang Wei and said, “The eldest daughter of the Jiang family always obeys the rules. Every step seems to have been measured. Why do you bother?”
He was such a restless young man who did not know how to please girls, but he often stayed at the painting and calligraphy shop in the corner of Jiangfu Lane to drink tea. He knew that there was a girl with long eyebrows and black hair sitting in the next room, sometimes playing the piano, and sometimes the sound came all the way here. Xie Yange smiled against his temples. When he was seventeen years old, he met Jiang Wei, and from then on there was one more Jiang Wei in his life. At
the most beautiful time, Xiuhua Yangcheng, Xie Yange wished to marry the Jiang family. Many things happened at the most beautiful time, such as the war in Yanyun City, such as the clue to the whereabouts of the princess.
He still remembered that when Jiang was about to go to war, he told her to wait for him and give her the best gift. Xie Yange was young at that time and did not know that the world was unpredictable and that the best promises were never fulfilled. At the end of the
war, he was anxious to pick up the green bell. Under the ambush, none of his trusted followers was spared. He took the green bell to escape by luck and chased him all the way. Xie Yange had a smooth journey and had never met such a desperate situation. Only then did he understand what kind of road was thick as ink after the endless pursuit. The wedding ceremony he prepared was a glass crown, the dowry of Princess Pingcheng, and the famous ornaments cast by the whole country, which were broken in blood without mercy.
Xie Yange cried only once in his life. He climbed out of the snow and fell on his back in the snow. Tears and blood fell asleep in the snow. He felt that his life was already in winter, but he remembered that someone was waiting for him. She was under the porch, the ground was covered with fallen flowers, and Jiang Wei was waiting for him.
But what to do? How dare I take her with me to the dark road.
He thought so, but it was more painful. It snowed heavily
that winter. With tears and blood, the nineteen-year-old general made a decision that he could not be more painful but did not regret.
Years in the eyes of people who do not care is just a bullet, Xie Yan Ge later had many times in a desperate situation, but no longer see the original appearance of despair. For his biographies, the younger generation asked Xie Jun if he had any regrets about his successful life? He shook his head in silence. Regret and regret
in my life, but the pain is too painful to speak.
He felt pain for his once unmarried wife, and when he looked down, he could see her countless long eyelashes. She was so small that she seemed to be able to hold her in his arms. At that time, he said with a smile that his heart belonged to him and that the engagement was over.
He had been angry because the playboy had humiliated her, and Xianyi rode past her to bathe with the new willows of others. What he
can remember for the rest of his life is a painting and calligraphy that he has made with his life. The “three wishes” on it are enough to imprison his happiness for a lifetime.
He watched her step into someone else’s bridal sedan chair, wondering if the betrothal gifts he had lent in the name of retirement had been mixed into the boxes of dowry. He had thought about raising his eyebrows with her for countless times, but now he couldn’t even get half a step closer.
He always kept his promise and told the truth in the moonlight. He said, may all her wishes come true. When
he was twenty-four years old, the sixteen continents of Yanyun were finally recovered. It was still a winter. I heard that she had given birth to a daughter, like pearls and jade. He also likes his daughter, who is expected to be as lovely as Jiang.
But he walked slowly in the snow and finally fell in the snow. He thought of Jiang Yun, fifteen years old, clear and graceful, so fresh and beautiful. The sixteen continents of Yanyun had been recovered, and the names of his aunt and uncle had been corrected, but he had never realized so desperately that he was trapped in that winter and would never go out again.
