Chapter 34: Satisfaction
Loaded the cake that Daji baked in the morning, drove up the old cattle, pulled the cart, and went to the field leisurely, this year's harvest looks very good, today is the official harvest day.
Daji baked the cake before dawn, closed the door of the house, and sat on the cart with her feet dangled with a sickle in her hand. It was her first time harvesting in person, and so was I.
Fortunately, when I was in the underworld, I deliberately watched the practical operation of Xu Xing, a farmer master, and would not be seen as a layman.
On the way, they passed by other fields and greeted each other with the villagers.
Daji pointed at Guo Lao and his wife, and said with a smile: "Guo Zhong will have a little grandson soon!"
I looked at it and said with a smile: "Yes, this is the first grandchild? The eldest of Old Man Guo's family is very capable of giving birth, do you think the second child will have more?"
Daji suddenly said embarrassedly: "Aunt Wang asked me ...... a few days ago."
At this point she paused, a little embarrassed to continue.
I asked, "What did I ask you?"
She was embarrassed to continue: "Ask me why I don't have children yet......"
Daji buried her head and I rubbed my forehead.
said: "Forget about it, it's all about having no children in your life." ”
The ox cart slowly arrived at Hongguyuan. The autumn is high and cool, the wild geese linger, the wind blows the wheat waves, and the geese chirp.
After stopping to look at Chang'an in the distance for a while, I smiled and said to Daji: "There is luck here, and in a hundred years, there may be emperors who will look at the imperial capital here." ”
Daji looked at it curiously and said, "I can't see anything, do you want to leave a fate for the emperor in a hundred years?"
On a whim, I smiled and said, "Why don't you leave him a message!"
Daji said, "What do you plan to leave behind?"
I looked, there was no one around, and I took a stone from a distance, cut it into a stone slab, and carved it on it, "The prince and the general, but a big dream, when you wake up, I will come to see you." ”
Daji watched me dig a pit for the slate and bury it, and said with a smile: "Your Excellency is not afraid of being dug away by others?"
I said, "This is his fate, others can't take it away, if it can be taken away, it's not his fate." ”
Daji smiled and nodded.
It is a pleasure to be able to harvest the wheat with one person and one sickle, and to be able to harvest the seeds you have planted with your own hands. Daji also seemed very happy, and did not care about the fatigue in the slightest.
The wheat was harvested for three days, and the fields were piled with high stacks of wheat, and it was satisfying to look at.
I drove the old cattle to the house, and Daji stacked them together at home.
The yard was gradually covered with wood, and a large shed was erected around the stack of wheat to prevent it from being wet by the rain.
We do it very carefully, this is a mortal pleasure, and for me, an immortal, it is very precious. It's the same for Daji, a ghost.
Shangshan Sihao came again, I didn't see them, they couldn't find me, they found a piece of wood, left a word and left.
The four old men still couldn't understand the truth I told them that day, but they still decided to say goodbye to Chang'an, walk the world, and practice medicine to repay their debts to the world. I also want to visit an elder in Huaiyang to see why he can become enlightened in the world.
Lu Pheasant repeatedly tried to stay, but he still couldn't stay, so he ordered all localities to treat the elderly over 70 years old kindly.
Lu Pheasant is a person who will take revenge, and he is also a decisive and ruthless person, Zhang Liang and Zhou Chang are equal to her benevolent people, all of whom are generous rewards, and Qi Ji who almost harmed her is extremely cruel. If you talk about merit, you can be rated as superior, but if you talk about sin, you will also go to hell for decades.
Lu Pheasant will be a good judge, at least better than Liu Bang. Although Liu Bang is the male lord of the world, he is full of stinky problems, greedy for money, lustful, and gambling... The biggest advantage is that he is wise and patient. But the underworld from the ghost pawn to the Yan Jun does not need to be patient, and the underworld never needs to be patient, and the underworld only needs to be fair. As for the wisdom of knowing people, there is no need for it, life and death are thin, and there is no way to hide all kinds of things in life, and I am not afraid of knowing the wrong ghost at all.
Although Lu Pheasant is a little more extreme, he still has a public heart. Liu... Liu Bang may not understand what public heart is.
Liu Ying's health is getting worse and worse, and when Chu and Han fought each other in the early years, they left many dark diseases. Liu Bang, an irresponsible father, has never seriously protected his family once in this war. After becoming emperor, he almost abolished his title as crown prince.
Whether it is Lu Pheasant or Liu Ying, they have too much resentment towards Liu Bang. It is estimated that after getting to the bottom, he will not recognize Liu Bang as a husband and father.
After the death of Lu Pheasant's father, he was reported by the judges, and this old man saw Liu Bang's imperial appearance before Liu Bang's career, and even the judges felt incredible.
But Yan Jun is too lazy to care, if you really want to talk about it, Lu Sheng is much more powerful than him, no matter how magical he is if he is not an immortal, it is useless, and he will only die faster if he calculates the heavenly opportunity.
Lu Wen was placed in the underworld to enjoy his underworld ghost life, and Liu Bang never visited him, nor did he go to visit Liu Bang. This pair of Weng sons-in-law very much echo the definition of human relations in the underworld, life and death are wide, and each is a stranger.
When Daji and I went to Chang'an to play again, it was the seventh year of Liu Ying's reign as emperor, and Liu Ying was already terminally ill and was about to die.
Lu Pheasant waved away the palace maid and stood alone at the head of his son's bed, his face full of tears.
Liu Ying just silently took her hand, looked at her, and didn't speak.
Daji and I hid and stood in the hall, behind us were the Chang'an City God, the judge, and a cadre of soldiers.
Daji said: "It is too sad for a white-haired person to send a black-haired person. ”
I said: "Life and death are not up to fate, and early death and early reincarnation are also a kind of luck!"
Daji gave me a roll of the eye and said, "Isn't it unfortunate that someone like me is not reincarnated?"
I smiled and said, "No, no, reincarnation is sometimes quite bitter." ”
Daji asked me very seriously: "Your Majesty, what will happen to Liu Ying?"
I knew that she was asking what happened to Liu Ying after his death, so I replied: "I have seen his life, he has some merits, there is no sin, he will be designated as the middle and upper class, and he will be reincarnated in a good family after his yin life is over." ”
Daji suggested, "Can you let him follow Fusu?" ”
I nodded.
Daji is right, the tragedies of Fusu and Liu Ying are not the same, but the sadness caused by that tragedy can be infinitely close. They also look alike, just as Kuanren. It's just that Fusu is more resolute, and Liu Ying is a little soft.
Lu Pheasant shouted at the empty hall: "Ying'er, Ying'er, who can save my Ying'er, save my Ying'er!"
The echo in the hall was stirring, but there was no reply. Liu Ying's soul stood beside me, looking at her mother sadly.
I said to him, "All kinds of things in the world, once you die, look at them a few more times, and you won't come back again." ”
Liu Ying nodded confusedly, looked around, and then said, "Who are you, where are you taking me?"
Guan Long said: "We are the judge of the city god here, and I am here to take you to the underworld." ”
Liu Ying followed Guan Longxiao away, and when he left, he was still at a loss, and he still needed a long time to adapt to the life in the underworld.
Lu Pheasant was still crying, crying all night. It wasn't until the early morning of the next day that she stopped her tears, covered her tears, summoned the ministers to mourn for the emperor, and appointed Liu Ying's young son as the emperor and the dynasty as the ruler.
For the first time in the world, such a woman appeared, and Lu Pheasant surpassed the Empress Dowager Xuan of the Qin State on this day and became the most powerful woman in the world in history.
I have no intention of watching any power contest, the world is in a hurry, no matter how many stories there are, they will only turn into loess, and the only thing that remains unchanged is the yin and yang of heaven and earth.
In my long life of more than 3,000 years, I have seen many outstanding people, but to this day, only a few people are still around, and the rest have entered the cycle of reincarnation. Emperors and generals, talented and beautiful, no matter how amazing they are, they are only a fleeting moment.
Immortals never care about the story of a mortal, unless the mortal is expected to become an immortal.
As far as people are concerned, mayflies are born and die. As far as mortals and immortals are concerned, why not mayflies?
Daji and I returned to Guojia Village, where we met an old acquaintance. This old acquaintance is not very old, and now he is only seven or eight years old.
Xiao Rongrong naturally didn't recognize me and Daji, but she still greeted me politely.
"Hello uncle and aunt, my mother and I are newly moved, this is the caramel that my mother wants me to give to my uncle and aunt!"
Daji squatted down and touched her head, held her in her arms, and asked with a smile, "What's your name?"
"My name is Rongrong!"
"And what's your last name?"
"Rong Rong's surname is Su, Rong Rong's name is Su Rongrong!"
Daji smiled: "Auntie is also surnamed Su, Rongrong may be Auntie's family!"
Su Rongrong was very polite to give Daji and me candy to eat, her mother's craftsmanship is very good, and the cooking is very delicious.
After asking them where they lived, I found out that they lived at the back of our house, bought the house of the previous tenant, and just moved in today.
Su Rongrong ran away very happily, and Daji told her to come over and play often behind her!
I smiled and asked, "You like her a lot?"
Daji nodded and said, "Such a cute child, of course she will like it!" She seems to be Nezha at that time, cute and smart, but unfortunately Nezha has grown up now. ”
Nezha has indeed grown up, almost an inch in more than 800 years. The Heavenly Realm is really not a suitable place for children to live, and Nezha has only been in the Heavenly Realm for more than two years, so he really doesn't grow much. But the mind is often not synchronized with the growth of the body, Nezha is now like a little adult, a child's body, and an adult's busy heart, naturally not as cute as before.
"Does the king plan to accept this disciple?"
I thought for a moment and said, "It's not time yet, let's talk about it later." ”
Rong Rong's mother and daughter lived in Guojia Village, Rong Rong's mother, we all call Mrs. Su, although she is a woman, she is also very strong, she opened a few acres of wasteland in Hongguyuan and planted rice. The people in the village see that it is not easy for her and her mother, and they always help out.
Rong Rong's father was an officer under Peng Yue, and Peng Yue was accused of rebellion, and he connected many people, including Rong Rong's father. Mrs. Su lived alone with her daughter after her husband's death, did a lot of work, and finally raised the child to the age it is now.
Mrs. Su is very kind, Daji has a good relationship with her, the two of them move around for a long time, and Rong Rong also likes to run to the house to play.
I seemed a little closer to mortals, but I was still far from the answers I was looking for.
The days are getting more and more dull, although a little boring, but not boring.
Lu Pheasant made many of the Lu family's children kings, and Minister Chen Ping pretended to welcome him, which can be regarded as a gentleman and a minister. The people don't care about these things, and they don't even hear about them. The common people were only concerned with the taxes to be levied by the imperial court and the labor to be levied.
Lu Pheasant is in the hearts of the people, or he can be called a generation of famous monarchs. Servitude has not been assessed for many years, and taxes are light. The people were able to eat a few full meals, sell some food, and buy some new cloth for their wives and children to make clothes.
I also learned from the villagers to buy a piece of cloth for Daji to tailor, and the fabric was very cheap, selling for only 30 yuan. Daji is very happy, and what she has earned from her work always makes her happy. She made herself a long skirt and made a coat for Rong Rong from the rest of the fabric.
She and Mrs. Su have a good relationship, and it takes a long time for them to exchange gifts. Rong Rong was naturally very happy to receive the new clothes, although they were not expensive, but they were the first gift she received from outsiders.
When Rong Rong begged for money in front of me in her new clothes, I realized that the happiness of mortals was so simple and so easy to satisfy.
