"No, Queen Mother, I really won't-" I shook my head and waved my hand, we had very few interest classes at that time, and the teachers talked like thunder every day, "Learn mathematics, physics and chemistry well, and you will not be afraid to go all over the world." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" and other typical slogans and slogans of exam-oriented education, unlike the mushrooms that sprung up like a variety of tutoring classes, interest classes, blooming everywhere, popular, justifiably making money, of course, also indispensable, for the motherland to cultivate a lot of young talents in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but unfortunately we did not catch up with the trend, if we will, maybe there will not be so many leftover women. "Then how much have you learned from the history of the dynasties?" Compared with the Queen Mother, I am naturally shallow in learning, so I am noncommittal, and the Queen Mother said with serious concern: "Tang Taizong said well, with copper as a mirror, you can be dressed properly, with history as a mirror, you can know the rise and fall, and with people as a mirror, you can know the gains and losses." So, Yue'er, this history book that writes the stories of all dynasties must be read-"

"Yes, Niangniang is right. "I resignedly said that this history used to be one of my most difficult subjects, but now I am back in ancient times, and I am full of interest and has improved by leaps and bounds, and it is much better.

"So, Yue'er, you must not waste this time in the palace, you must make good use of it, you must make up for the things you don't know, you need to know that the book is used to hate less, time can not be wasted, you need to study well, every inch of time is gold, you must not waste your good years to study. The Queen Mother said bitterly.

She then began to talk again unhurriedly, I was a little impatient to hear it, but I was helpless, but this person's words, once he was old, he really loved to recall the past like water, and he loved to nag non-stop, but the queen mother was high and powerful, and she couldn't confide at will on weekdays. I have had ups and downs in my life, from the bottom of the society step by step, in that turbulent and turbulent era, from a country girl who didn't know how to read a lot of books today, and read and read the folds, relying on decades of continuous learning, this life to the old, learn the old, the book mountain has a road to advance, learn the sea without end, reading can be wise, I learned this way back then, and now I can not mess up, calm and calm to stabilize the situation, govern the rivers, promote the holy minister, and assist the emperor. You are a princess of the right word, and although I can't tell the world, you and I know it. Therefore, you can't do whatever you want like the ordinary people with royal blood, and you can't be as unlearned as the children of the princess, you must have the appearance of a princess of the Great Song Dynasty, and learn all the poetry and etiquette that should be learned, so as to become the phoenix among people and glorify the royal family. Especially for us girls, we should not invest our limited time and money in colorful clothes and all kinds of cosmetics, and spend a lot of money not to mention that it is useless, but should invest in our brains and knowledge. Knowledge is never outdated, and wisdom is always better than beauty, so that the clouds can be opened and the sunrise can be seen. ”

I secretly think that the Queen Mother is really right, countless facts have proved that whether it is in the ancient court, or in the fairy tales staged in the modern palace, this is the case, beautiful people abound, and the final winner is all women with heads and brains, whether it is Wu Zetian or Empress Lu in ancient times, you look at Princess Diana in modern times, how gorgeous she is, captivating the country and the city, and beautiful like a flower, but unexpectedly Prince Charles still can't forget his ugly old lover Camilla, and finally divorced Diana, who had two sons for him, and became a family member with his old lover。

The Queen Mother then said earnestly: " In fact, men in this world always like young and beautiful women, just like women all over the world like beautiful clothes, clothes are naturally always new, and clothes are constantly updated, bringing forth the new, a generation of new people and old people, there is nothing consistent, eternal things, so women have to continue to learn, improve the inside, beautiful faces are like beautiful flowers, only a short period of freshness, after all, can not stop the passage of time, the baptism of wind and frost, and only the connotation is like old wine, the longer it is new, the longer it is fragrant。 A woman must not live for a man, she must live for herself, she must become an independent, autonomous, thoughtful, and connotative tree, not an empty vase, gorgeous ornaments, and not a vine that is attached to and entangles the tree, so her fate is undoubtedly tragic. I suddenly remembered Shu Ting's "To the Oak Tree", the words of the Queen Mother and the words of the poetess a thousand years later are similar to the words of the poetess - "If I love you, I will never be like a climbing flower, showing off myself through your high branches, if I love you, I will never learn from the infatuated birds, repeating monotonous songs for the green shade, not only like a spring, sending cool comfort all year round, but also like a dangerous peak, increasing your height and setting off your majesty." Even daylight. Even the spring rain, no, these are not enough! I must be a kapok near you, standing with you as the image of a tree. Roots, clinging to the ground, leaves, touching in the clouds. We greeted each other with every gust of wind, but no one understood our words. You have your copper branches and iron stems, like knives, like swords, and like halberds, and I have my red flowers, like heavy sighs, and like heroic torches, we share cold waves, wind and thunder, and thunderbolts; we share the mist and haze, as if they are separated forever, but they are dependent on each other for life, this is the great love, and the steadfastness is here: not only love your majestic body, but also love the position you hold onto, the ground under your feet. "This queen mother wants to return to modern society, and she is still a lyrical poet. "Only in this way will you have a chic and wonderful life. Instead of superficially relying on a beautiful face to get the holy grace, the shelf life of women such as flowers is limited, there will always be a time when you are old and yellow, and you are stronger than them, lies in your mind, your heart, your experience, the books you have read, the words you have read, they have all subtly become a part of you, carving out a more perfect you. ”

The Queen Mother lost no time in saying: "Therefore, you must become a master, so that you can enjoy the life of the wind and snow, otherwise the people at the bottom are busy working for their livelihood every day, where can they have the leisure to be vassal? So why do I want to be a master, to become a powerful person, to ascend to the queen, the queen mother, the supreme position that everyone yearns for, because in this way you don't have to flatter, look at people's eyes everywhere, inferior, you don't have to be busy with trivial things such as firewood, rice, oil and salt, you can immerse yourself in the artistic conception of piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, wine and tea all day long, relax your mood, unload your burden, fly your soul, get drunk physically and mentally, and forget about things. Playing the piano and chess, writing and painting, planting flowers and plants, these things can make you realize the essence of life. Those who are good at the piano are able to be calm, those who are good at chess are wise and wise, those who are good at writing are affectionate and sexual, those who are good at painting are good at being perfect and beautiful, those who are good at poetry are good at rhyme and heart, those who are good at wine are confidants, those who are good at tea cultivate sentiments, and those who are good at flowers have a pleasant character. Tang Bohu once wrote a poem: "Qin, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, hops, back then, each piece did not leave it." Now everything is delivered, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar tea. "I sigh that life is not easy, and the life of piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, wine and tea is like a dream. Piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, wine and tea are our elegant spiritual food. I think that being born should spend every ordinary day poetically, even if you enjoy a cup of tea, a cup of turbid wine, a meal, you can also taste elegance and taste, so that the sun rises and sets, the flowers bloom and thank you, the years are quiet, and you smile and smile. ”

I was a little confused and said, "The Queen Mother is too abstract, can you be more concrete?"

The Queen Mother said: "The poetry of life is to be exquisite in life, the subtleties see the spirit, there is no trivial matter in clothing, food, housing and transportation, we must pay attention to the subtleties to get, such as boiling tea, a good horse with a good saddle, good tea needs a good vessel, tea is nourished in water, water is in the vessel, water is the mother of tea, the vessel is the father of tea, and it is not allowed to be sloppy." Tea naturally has its own merits, high and low, different, our palace of the imperial tea is naturally the top grade, even the water of this tea, is very different, there is the water of the mountain spring, there is the water of the river, there is the water of the rootless, there is sweet, there is liquor, there is cold, there is warm, each is different, carefully tasted, there are thousands of autumns, all those who are well versed in the tea ceremony know that the tea is particularly particular about the color, smell, taste, and shape", can only be tasted, not drunk. Small objects also have an effect, even the teacup tea lid is also interesting, the green water is clear on the waves, such as a leaf oar, gently swinging, so that the whole bowl of tea is turned up and down, light scraping is light, heavy scraping is thick, is its wonderful.

Not only can you experience the poetry of drinking tea, even watering flowers, I once read an unknown ancient book, written for the dusty flowers to wash and bathe, it is really interesting to write, unique, not only to pick the time, early morning bathing for the top, flowers in their sleep for the second, joy when washing for the next, and can not let all the vulgar slaves and maids do it, bath plum hermits, bath begonia rhyme guests, bath peony, Peony should be beautiful and beautiful, bath pomegranate should be bright and colorful, bath wood should be Qinghuier, bath lotus should be charming concubine, bath chrysanthemum should be ancient and strange, bath wax plum should be thin monk. Moreover, the author also whimsically believes that all kinds of famous flowers should have their own maidservants and servants, just like the harem has concubines and palace maids, and everyone has maids and maids, -- "Plum blossoms take spring, Ruixiang, and camellia as maids, begonias take apple, ringo, and cloves as maids, peonies take roses, roses, and wood incense as maids, peonies take poppies and hollyhocks as maids, pomegranates take crape myrtle, big red, thousand leaves, and hibiscus as maids, lotus flowers take alum and hosta as maids, and wooden trees take hibiscus as maids." Chrysanthemum to yellow and white camellia, begonia as the maid, wax plum to narcissus as the maid, this author is intoxicated, naïve, to such a point, it really makes people laugh - "The Queen Mother couldn't help laughing out loud. I also laughed, the Queen Mother didn't know what the in modern society meant, but there were different voices in her heart, but she didn't dare to say it: "Everyone is born equal, so are flowers, so are grasses, flowers and plants are also equal to all beings, why do you have to divide the high and low, and what slaves, servants, and masters are different, it is really pedantic, and it is really the remnants of feudalism." "But I dare not be angry, I have to laugh reluctantly next to me, my heart is extremely looking forward to the arrival of the time for the palace meal, although in the deep palace people are not free, I can drink some Qiong brewed jade liquid, eat some delicacies of the mountains and seas as compensation, it is also good, in fact, the Queen Mother said too complicated, for me it is very simple, eat and drink, eat and drink spicy is the poetic life.
