Chapter 4 Beating

On the fifth day of the seventh month, Zhou Yanan asked the women of the sixth palace to come to her Qixiang Palace tomorrow to report, saying that there was something important. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

On the second day, Zhou Yanan and the others were almost here, and the money came out.

She wore a yellow silk coat and a red bow robe.

When Concubine Xie Rou saw her, she subconsciously shrank her neck like a mouse seeing a cat, as if Zhou Yanan was going to eat her.

Zhou Yanan was too lazy to look at her. She didn't know what Concubine Xie Rou was thinking. Ling Heng wasn't here, who did she show this pitiful look to?

Zhou Yanan sat down first, and there were two pillows under her buttocks, so that she could appear taller. Shen Meiren sat under her right hand, and several other concubines who had given birth sat on the left and right hands close to her, and then sat in order of rank.

Zhou Yanan coughed, and there was an aura of not being angry and arrogant. Of course, this is Zhou Yanan's own imagination. The concubine was afraid of her, but it was just because of her similar facial features to Zhou Yin. After all, no matter how much a ten-year-old child pretends to be old, he can't scare them at all.

She spoke.

"This servant knows that before you enter the palace, the elders of your clan must tell you that you are closely related to the family behind you, and every glory is honored, and every loss is lost."

"They will say that the family has given everything to nurture you. You have a mission to revitalize your family. ”

"Do you feel great? You sacrifice yourselves, come to this ghost place where you can't get out as soon as you enter, fight, rob, fight. Aren't you trying your best so that one day your family can stand at the top of the powerful? ”

"I can tell you that you are wrong." She picked up a biography of the former and later concubines and handed it to Qi Meiren: "Read it out, be louder." ”

Qi Meiren is from a scholarly family in the south, so she knows a few words, unlike most of the concubines who are illiterate. When she saw that it was a booklet of dozens of pages, she boldly read: "Zhang, the second female; Wang, female one; Liu, female first. Her voice trembled.

The concubines below all looked sad.

Zhou Yanan motioned her to stop with her eyes. She said in an unquestioning tone: "A hundred years later, we will have long since become a handful of loess." Do you think your mother's family tree will have your name? Do you think you can enjoy the incense of your mother's family? Dream! When you enter the door of the heavenly family, you are born as a member of the heavenly family, and you are also a ghost of the heavenly family when you die!"

"Concubine Zhang Shun!" Zhou Yanan's voice was a little sad: "In "The Biography of the Concubines", it will not be written that you are the concubine of the Ningguo Mansion, it will not be written that you play it well, Shi Potian teases the autumn rain, and it will not be written that your smile is like a flower, and the jade sound is tactful." Unless the historian wants to directly say that the emperor is a faint king. ”

"Concubine Xie Rou! In the same way, they will not write that you are as quiet as a pine in an empty valley, as if the sun is like a moon shooting on a cold river, tender and graceful, and fluttering like the flowing snow of the wind. It will not be written that you have been in the palace for four years, and you have been sleeping a total of seventy-eight times. Speaking of this, Concubine Xie Rou's face turned purple.

"If you want them to write that you are a martyr, please decide on your own immediately after the emperor has been a hundred years. Of course, if you are willing to amputate your nose and ears, I am sure that the people of the Ministry of Rites will be happy to write your story in the "Biography of the Daughters". Concubine Xie Rou shrank back in her chair in horror, as if Zhou Yanan was going to ask someone to cut off her nose and ears now.

"There are also Xu Jieyu, Xia Meiren, Shen Meiren, Qi Meiren ......"

"Do you know why you entered the palace now?"

Qi Meiren whispered: "In order to open up branches and leaves for the emperor." ”

She is not as taboo as Zhou Yanan, and her face turned red after speaking.

"That's right!" Zhou Yanan pointed to the palace concubines who had already given birth, and said loudly: "Those sitting here are qualified to be written in the official history." ”

She pointed to another group of people: "And you, as long as you give birth to a child for the emperor, your name can also be written on the official history." ”

"Do you know how difficult it is for ordinary people to make a name in history? Even men, if not amazingly talented, must have something extraordinary to be famous. They are either resourceful, scheming, brave and good at fighting, or cold and upright. Needless to say, women. ”

"I know in this service that Concubine Shun is good at Konghou, Concubine Rou is good at "White Silk Dance", Xu Jieyu's cursive pen walks the dragon and snake, Qi Meiren has the talent of singing, and Shen Meiren dances the sword and moves the Quartet......"

"If I tell you now, I will write this in the official history. Well, this is. ”

"However, this servant can swear that one day, the "Biography of the Queen's Concubine" of this dynasty will specifically write about what kind of person you are."

Actually, this is not what Zhou Yanan originally planned to say to these palace concubines. She had planned to let them keep to their own children and not be jealous and do some personal deeds.

She once asked her sister Zhou Yin what it was like to get along with so many rivals day and night.

Zhou Yin rolled his eyes: "Which rival is in love?" He sneered again: "You look at Wang Zai's weird handsomeness, do you like it?" ”

Wang Tsai is a dog raised by Zhou Yin.

She told Zhou Yanan the story of Zhang Xun killing his concubine.

He also said: "Zhang Xun does not kill dogs but kills concubines, which shows that concubines are inferior to dogs." ”

She pointed to the side palace and said, "The people who live there are just a thing, just like cats and dogs, they wag their tails at you, and you are happy, that's it." If they are not tamed, you don't have to shout and kill yourself, lest you hurt your dignity, just go back to me, let the minions beat you up, and get them out. ”

In Zhou Yin's opinion, Ling Heng looked at his concubine like a dog. Naturally, humans do not develop affection for dogs. Naturally, she doesn't care about the dog.

In fact, these concubines never expected Ling Heng to fall in love with them. What "the Palace of Eternal Life on the seventh day of July, when no one whispers in the middle of the night", "a branch of red dew condenses incense, clouds and rain Wushan breaks the intestines in vain" are all chanted by boring poets. The reason why these poems can be handed down is only because of the barking day of the Shu dog, which is rare and strange.

This saved Zhou Yanan a tongue. She knows that it is as difficult to convince a girl to give up a longing relationship as it is to go to the sky.

As for why she would know? It's because the last time she met a female ghost who was in love with her cousin......

The parents of both sides were naturally furious, thinking that this was an unfortunate family and an unruly love. They gave the girl three feet of white silk and told her that if she couldn't stop loving, she would die.

So the girl threw herself in. It is said that her cousin was also a man of great affection, and not long after, he contracted typhoid fever, and his parents were exhausted of their finances, and finally cured, and after eating a mouthful of cold food, he relapsed, and went the same day. Listening to the girl, my cousin left with a smile on his face...... But the cousin entered the reincarnation, but the girl still wandered in the world because she died evilly.

When Zhou Yanan knew about this, he sighed for a long time. What does a phrase say? "Ask the heavens, how many happy children are there?"

The girl begged Zhou Yanan to send her back to the six realms of reincarnation. Zhou Yanan naturally agreed to her.

She cut through the void with her bare hands, revealing a man-sized opening, pointed to a large yellow river that could not be seen, and said, "This is Lethe." You should know better than I do, the past is the bridge...... You've got to figure it out. ”

The girl asked timidly, "Xiao Nan, do you say my cousin still remembers me?" ”

In fact, the answer to this question is well known to both of them. If you drink Meng Po soup, it is equivalent to forgetting the past.

Zhou Yanan didn't answer her question, only said: "After you pass here, remember not to look back!" Remember! ”

The girl answered, and resolutely floated over, towards the ethereal hope.

Zhou Yanan didn't tell her that her soul was too weak and might not be annihilated before she could reach Lechuan.

But, perhaps, her cousin was waiting for her at the Nai Ho Bridge? Perhaps, for her sake, he is willing to endure the torment of the water of the thousand-year-old Lethe?

Who can tell?

Maybe I'll never see it again, maybe I'll see it tomorrow.

Zhou Yanan originally breathed out of the same nostril as her sister Zhou Yin, and regarded Ling Heng's concubines as inferior to dogs.

Today, she suddenly had a feeling: If these concubines were born in ordinary people's families, they didn't have to bear the family mission. They may no longer be able to enjoy luxurious clothes and food, but because the sky is high and the emperor is far away, they can enjoy themselves. At least the people around them can still see them as if they were the same people as they are.

Of course, Zhou Yanan soon found that it was too naΓ―ve for her to have such an idea.

At a certain moment, it may have been because the palace concubine's sorrow touched a soft place in her heart. She felt that these concubines were different from dogs. They have feelings, thoughts, and emotions, unlike Wang Tsai, who knows how to eat except for sleeping all day long.

This kind of touch is enough to guide Zhou Yanan to think about what their needs are. What they can do to improve the situation of these women is what they can do and what they can do.

Zhou Yanan originally thought that he was just a whim. The superior will always feel at some point on a whim that he needs to do something good.

This is what Lou Wangshu advised her. At that time, she said, the dream of a European and American teenager was like this: a middle-class child could follow an international aid team to help the locals build houses, get vaccinated and teach English. They think they are God!

As everyone knows, the houses they built do not meet the building standards at all, and after sunset, the local black residents silently knock down and rebuild bricks.

Dominica does need more medicines and HIV vaccines. However, the locals barely spoke English and could not communicate with the volunteers.

It's just that the donation in black and white doesn't make them feel like a savior.

Zhou Yanan knew that any charity that started from ignorance and selfishness could not save himself or others.

Zhou Yanan is also worried that this kind of self-touching is nothing but self-deception.

Fortunately, when she came to the end, she did not live up to her original intention, which is a later story.

She immediately asked the four eunuchs to invite Sun Zuohua to come over. He also asked eight eunuchs to come out with two Huanghuali ladies and treasure picture screens. She talked for a long time, her mouth was dry, so she drank a bowl of tea, and said, "All the good and bad things in this service have been said." Then let me see your elbows turned outward, 'unfamiliar white-eyed wolves', and I will punish you severely." Today, the attendant invited Sun Zuohua's envoy to come over and talk about how a woman can conceive easily. ”

The palace concubines at the bottom were overjoyed. Even Concubine Xie Rou sat up straight.

Sun Zuohua started from the kidney essence and Tianqi, then the role of Chong and Ren, and finally the role of the heart, liver and spleen.
