Chapter 004: First Encounter with Old Fourteen
A few days ago, I always encountered all kinds of strange people and things when I went out, and I became less and less interested in going out on the street, and my temperament was quieter, which made Geng's mother a little worried that I was too concerned about the draft and had a heart disease.
"Yang'er, I heard your father say that the emperor returned to Beijing from Wutai Mountain today, and the street was very lively, and Xiang'er came to you to watch the excitement just now. Although the girl's house should not go out of the door, and the second door is not stepping, but it is not good to be bored at home all day. ”
As March approaches, the winter chill fades a lot with the warm sunshine. In the antique courtyard, Geng's mother sat in the courtyard with the soles of her shoes, and there was no sentence with me to pull homely, with the gentleness and gentleness unique to ancient women.
"Got it, mother, when I've dried these clothes, I'll go to her. I replied with a smile as I dried the laundry in my hands.
The draft of the clothed woman is set after March 15, so there are probably not many days to play with Chun'er, so when Chun'er occasionally comes to play with me, whether she wants to go or not, she will still respond, after all, no one can say what will happen in the future, everyone understands in their hearts, and they cherish the carefree time in front of them.
On this day, the streets of the capital were already crowded with people watching the excitement, and the officers and soldiers with vigilant faces and solemn faces maintained order, pushing the crowd that came to greet them to both sides of the street. Such a scene reminds me of the lively scene when the Olympic torch passed through the city in that era, and the mentality of Chinese people who want to join in the excitement has been the same from ancient times to the present.
Speaking of the mood at this time, there is naturally excitement and anticipation, after all, it is such an honor to be able to see this Kangxi who can afford to be the "Emperor of the Ages" in his lifetime. What's more, there are also the famous crown prince Yinren in history, the king of Zhijun, the fourth Belle Yinzhen, the thirteenth elder brother Yinxiang, and the fourteenth elder brother Yinzhen, five of the nine princes are among them, and it would be worth the trip if they could see it together.
After noon, my legs and feet were a little numb, and I was thinking about why I hadn't come yet, when I heard the shouts of "Royal Driving Back to Luan" in the distance, and then I saw everyone prostrate on the ground.
I've seen a lot of such scenes on TV, but it's the first time I've experienced it myself, and I was stunned for a while, until Chun'er pulled my sleeves and pulled me down to kneel, and then I came back to my senses.
At this time, there was no hustle and bustle, and the surrounding atmosphere was dull and solemn as the mighty Luanyi approached. Out of the corner of his eye, he could see that everyone pressed their heads very low, almost touching the ground, and no one dared to look at it for half a minute, lest they would offend Long Yan and lose their lives.
As a person who came from the modern "wear" of the equality of all beings, the awe of the imperial majesty was ultimately driven by curiosity, and I raised my head slightly, wanting to sneak a peek at the royal honor guard in front of me through the gap in the crowd. It's a pity to see a tall chariot surrounded by a carved wooden frame and a bright yellow curtain tent passing in front of me, but it is difficult to see the true face of the person in the chariot.
I thought that the emperor Huiluan would sit in the chariot like in TV, revealing a dragon's face, so that all the people could watch and worship, but I didn't expect that until the imperial chariot drove by, I couldn't see the true face of this Kangxi Ye, and even the chariots and horses that followed behind were densely surrounded. It was difficult to hide the disappointment in his heart, and most of his excited heart wilted.
At this moment, the small curtain on the third carriage lifted slightly, revealing a half indifferent and calm face, which happened to meet my prying eyes. Those were deep eyes, although they couldn't see the whole picture clearly, they could vaguely feel the coldness and sharpness emanating from the eyes.
Despite the distance, I was so shocked by the sharpness that I withdrew my gaze and buried my head in fear, wondering if this man would find out about his faux pas and whether he would blame him for it.
The creaking of the wheels ran over the streets, until the mighty guard of honor disappeared at the end of the street. Everything is business as usual, and there is no stagnation because of the episode just now. I couldn't help but laugh at my own worries, thinking that I could be so easily noticed by the ants in this vast number of beings, it was just to scare myself.
Soon after the royal drive back to Luan, it is the third day of March, which is the ancient traditional festival of the Han nationality, and the folk call the "third day of March" as the March Festival, the March Meeting, Valentine's Day, the fixed plot, the Daughter's Day, the Child's Festival, the Spring Festival, etc.
As far as modern people are concerned, the concept of this festival may only stay on boiled eggs with shepherd's cabbage, not to mention the fact that "March 3" is Chinese Valentine's Day. The concept of Chinese Valentine's Day has always been "Qixi Festival", who knows that "March 3" is the main one. If it weren't for Chun'er's long time of excitedly shouting that this day would be a feast by the water and a spring tour in the suburbs, I would not have known that this humble festival could be so interesting.
It stands to reason that the Manchus are only on the third day of March, but after entering the customs for more than ten years, the intermarriage with the Han people has gradually contributed to the integration of Manchu and Han cultures. Just like in modern times, it is not very strange to live not only the Chinese New Year, but also the Western Christmas.
Early in the morning of March 3, as soon as I helped Geng's mother cook the eggs with shepherd's cabbage, Chun'er came to urge me to say that the girls from other families were ready and waiting for me. Geng's mother took over the work with a smile, and asked me to go with them with peace of mind, and before leaving, she also stuffed a few shepherd's cabbage eggs in her purse and took them to eat on the road.
didn't dress up deliberately like others, just wore a light blue shirt as usual, with a simple braided hair, and followed the girls in the neighborhood who were also not out of the cabinet to the Yongding River.
Along the way, Chun'er kept talking about the expectations of her little daughter's family, begging God to bless him with a lover one day. I listened to her expectations, but I didn't say anything, and when she asked what the lover in her heart looked like, she smiled and said, "Sister is so ashamed, how can there be a girl who puts **** on her lips." Talking and laughing, Xin Qiji's sentence "The young man doesn't know the taste of sorrow and falls in love with the floor." Falling in love with the floor, for the new words to say sorrow", I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, thinking that I don't know when, when Chun'er experienced "and now I know the taste of sorrow, I want to say goodbye." I want to say that I will take a break, but I say that the weather is cool and autumn", and then think back to today's words, what kind of situation will it be.
swept away the helplessness of the identity of the ancient woman in her heart, changed the topic, and did not want to talk too much about these depressing things with her.
Although there is some distance in Yongding River, I don't feel tired when I talk all the way. The air quality in ancient times really makes people want to praise it, especially in the early morning, the morning dew among the flowers and plants is slightly moist, and the air is filled with the fragrance of earth, which suddenly makes people feel extremely refreshing.
At this time, the Yongding River has long been lively, and there are bursts of melodious silk and bamboo string music from the painting boat on the river. The literati gathered together to emulate Wang Xizhi's "Qushui Liuzhen", and the ladies were in groups of three or five to plant willows and enjoy flowers on the riverside, and there were all kinds of activities that could not be named, so that I, an "alternative", seemed to be Grandma Liu who entered the Grand View Garden, and looked at everything fresh.
I secretly thought that only by wearing ancient costumes and experiencing these folk customs in the long river of history did I suddenly find that the ancestors were really good at creating romance and enjoying life.
In the blink of an eye, it was noon, and there were more and more people on the riverside. Just looking at the novelty, unexpectedly, one of them separated from Chun'er without paying attention, and when they came back to their senses, they couldn't find their traces.
Although I came here to carry the memory of my body, I rarely went out on weekdays except around Geng's house, and I was not familiar with the suburbs of the capital. Shicai only cared about talking and laughing, and forgot to remember the way. In this era, there are no taxis, and there are no communication tools, which really makes it difficult for me.
I looked at the sky, and suddenly saw a few dancing kites rising in the sky, and I had an idea.
When I went out, Chun'er asked me to help hold the kite still in my hand, saying that the higher the kite flew on March 3, the greater the blessing in the future, and I especially told me not to break it.
Thinking that this kite was made by Chun'er herself, she should naturally recognize it, if it could be released into the sky at this time, when she saw it, she would definitely be able to find it, and she would not be worried about finding her way home.
But this kite flying thing seems simple, but it is not easy to do. Modern people born in the city have a lot of ********, and it is estimated that few have let go of kites. I ran back and forth in the open space for a long time, sweating, and I didn't put the kite on it, I was really anxious and annoyed, and I didn't know what to do.
"That's not how kites are flown like this" was depressed, when he suddenly heard someone talking behind him. The sound came too suddenly, and when I turned my head to look back, my footsteps didn't stop, and my left foot stepped on my right foot, and I heard an ankle click, and the piercing pain made people exhale in pain.
At the moment when he was about to fall to the ground, his body was held by a strong hand, and then the voice asked again, "Are you okay?"
"Thanks, it looks like a broken foot. Trying to stand up with his strength, the pain in his left foot could not support the whole body on one foot, so he had to sit down on the ground again, and smiled back at him embarrassedly.
This is a handsome man in a blue satin robe, who looks about the same age as himself, but his eyes reveal a calmness that does not match his age. I don't know when I got used to seeing clothes and knowing people, and in the face of his clothes, I couldn't help frowning slightly, thinking about how I could meet a few royal nobles wearing four smelts on the streets of this capital area. These princes and grandsons are really idle, and they don't let people go out. muttered so much in his heart, but it was difficult to show it on his face, so he had to pretend not to notice it, and looked down at the injury to his ankle.
At this time, I obviously felt that my ankles were swollen, and I just wanted to quickly activate my blood and remove stasis, so as not to wait for the swelling to be worse and I couldn't walk, but in this era, women can't easily show their feet, not to mention that they are still in front of these two big men, although they don't care about this, they have to take care of their future reputation.
The man should have seen the inappropriateness in my expression, pondered for a moment, and said, "It seems that the girl's injury is not light, otherwise I will send someone to send the girl to the hospital for treatment?"
I don't want to have too much intersection with people in the royal family, but since I came to this era, I have always met these people who don't want to intersect, and I hesitated whether I should accept this person's kindness.
"I am the fourteenth prince of the Holy Saint today, the girl does not have to worry, this foot injury should be healed earlier, so as not to leave the root of the disease. Seeing my hesitant look, the man was worried that his identity was unknown and he didn't dare to respond rashly, so he took care to find out his identity.
I didn't expect that the man in front of me would be the famous Fourteenth Elder Brother Yinyu in history.
Aixin Jueluo Yinzhen, formerly known as Aixin Jueluo Yinzhen, the fourteenth son of Emperor Kangxi, and his biological mother was Concubine Wu Yashi, that is, Empress Xiaogongren. His initial row was twenty-three, and he was born on the ninth day of the first month of Wuchen in the twenty-seventh year of Kangxi. He was originally the half-brother of Emperor Yongzheng, but in the struggle for the throne in the palace in the last years of Kangxi, the two brothers became enemies.
"The folk girl doesn't know the identity of the fourteenth master, and she is rude. The kindness of the fourteenth master, the people's daughter's heart, but there are still people who go with them, if they don't know the whereabouts of the people's daughter, they will be anxious. "I thought in my heart that my father was a man from the Four Baylor Mansion after all, and that the two brothers would have a fight in the future, and that I would have too much intersection with him than him, so that he would not be caught in trouble in the future.
Yinyu didn't know my calculations, but felt that it was the reserve of her daughter's family, and she was not reluctant, so she said, "Look at the girl's feet are not light, I'm afraid it will be difficult to walk alone, but can I go back with a companion?"
"Originally, there were, but when I got separated for a while, I wanted to fly a kite to attract them, but I didn't expect myself to be so stupid, the kite didn't put it up, and I broke my foot, which is really annoying. When it comes to Chun'er, they are really annoyed.
"I see, why don't I send someone to help you fly the kite into the sky, so that they can send you back sooner. The man smiled with relief.
"This is very good, there is Lao Fourteen Master" is naturally happy to have the best of both worlds, so he no longer twists and generously accepts his help.
The kite flew into the sky quickly under the skillful operation of Yinyu's entourage, and my mood also relaxed, looking at the kite flying high in the air, I suddenly thought of an article I had read about the way of husband and wife, and I couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
"What are you thinking?" Yinyu stood beside him, looking at the melancholy on his side face that was as childish as himself, and couldn't help but ask curiously.
"It's nothing, I'm just thinking that maybe women should want to fly kites with men, as long as the string is in their hands, holding it too tightly is counterproductive......" I was deep in thought, I subconsciously sighed along with his words, and after speaking, I realized that it was very inappropriate to talk about this topic with a strange man, but the words had been spoken and had to be embarrassed.
Yinyu was slightly stunned, he didn't expect me to think so long-term, and then thinking about the meaning of these words, he couldn't help but laugh freely, "You girl doesn't look very old, looking at the outfit, it should be in the boudoir, how can you not shy away from speaking." But this frankness is admirable. ”
Seeing him so bold and calm, I suddenly felt that he was not as arrogant and domineering as the historical books and miscellaneous records, and it seemed that he did not have the unbeatable life of the royal nobles, and there were fewer taboos, and he joked, "Not being old does not mean that he does not know common sense, men from small families still have flowers, willows and greens, not to mention the families of high-ranking families, and groups of wives and concubines." In the eyes of his wife and concubine, the husband's heart is like a kite, and he can only serve carefully, lest he fly elsewhere if he is not careful. ”
"Listening to your words, how can people feel a little disdainful? Yinyu asked playfully.
"In the vast sea of people, I want to get to know each other, I am fortunate, but I can't die, why care too much. If the rope is not in my hand, why fight?" I lifted up my eyes to meet his eyes, and did not avoid his gaze.
In the face of my answer, Yinyu also fell silent, he thought of a lot, including his own mother.
Chun'er's shouts came from far and near, and Yinyu didn't want to damage my woman's reputation, so she deliberately avoided and said, "Presumably your companion found it, I still have something to do, take the first step and say goodbye." ”
I didn't want to give birth to other involvement, I didn't do it, I watched him turn around, suddenly remembered that he had helped him, and didn't want to owe favors, so he called him out, and stuffed the purse with the mustard eggs that was still hot into his hand, and said with a smile, "The folk girl doesn't want to be favored easily, but her status is low, and she doesn't bring any rare objects. ”
Yinyu looked at the purse with the egg in his hand, was slightly stunned, pursed his lips and stopped, and finally did not make a prevarication under the deep groan, smiled and said "receive", turned around again, and strode away.
When Chun'er approached, Yinyu had already left, and I didn't want to say anything, so I didn't say anything to her, but said that the foot injury was accidentally caused while flying a kite, so they hired a carriage to send me home, and invited a doctor to come over-
The author has something to say: Finally, a person with a clear identity appeared, in fact, Yinzhen should still be called Yinzhen in the forty-first year of Kangxi, but Yinzhen and Yinzhen are too close, and they are afraid that they will be stunned and stupid, so it is easier to distinguish between Yinzhen and Yinzhen. Everyone can understand it, don't bother with the details! In addition, popularize a common sense, the big brother Zhijun Wang Yinyu, is next to the word 礻, not next to the word 衤, here it should be read zhǐ, not tí!
