At lunchtime, besides, Xiao Nier and Zuo Ling had their own thoughts, and they didn't know how to talk, and the three of them drank wine, and the cold was a good reason to drink. The slightly drunk Zuo Ling's collar is half-untied, his face is full of spring, and he is very popular, even Xiao Nier can't help but be fascinated when she sees it, there is such a stunner in the world, no wonder she made a big move for her, and she was angry again.

Xiao Nier told Zuo Ling about all kinds of strange things she saw in the Hou Mansion, as well as the good-looking little Hou Ye, as well as the jealous concubines in each room, and the good sisters in the Ming secretly tore off their black hands, as well as those palace-like houses and so on.

Zuo Ling listened to her chatting, and didn't feel anything special in his heart, although the Zuo family was far inferior to the Hou Mansion, if it was rich and noble, it was not necessarily much worse, but it lacked aristocratic background than others. There are some in the Marquis' Palace, and the Zuo family basically has them, but the grade is worse and the scale is a little smaller. But those rare antique calligraphy and paintings, the Zuo family can't take them out, and there is a gap in this ratio.

"You're not going to stay there forever, are you?" Zuo Ling heard that he might officially pass on to the Hou family of Wucheng, and he felt a little uncomfortable.

"Who knows what he thinks, I'm not rare, it's just those calligraphy and paintings that have fallen on him, sister, or you go with us, anyway, the house is big, and there are many, and there is no one living there." Xiao Nier answered.

"I don't want to live there, the nobles' homes are like battlefields, my house is messy enough, I don't want to go to a place that is even messier than mine, it's boring." Zuo Ling shook his head again and again.

"What if I miss you, what if you miss me, or what if you miss him?" Xiao Nier has a chasing energy when she encounters an accident, and her brain is still simple and simple.

"It's easy, if you want me, come out and see me, if I want you, I'll have to endure it." Zuo Ling smiled bitterly.

Besides, he didn't speak, and what he thought was far more complicated than they said. He will return to Suzhou sooner or later, then it is not a matter of seeing each other if he wants to, the two places are separated, this lovesickness is inevitable, and now this is nothing.

After the meal, Zuo Ling left, Xiao Nier looked at the situation and asked, "There is already a young grandmother at home, and there is another sister Zuo, what do you want to do?" Can she be willing to be your maid as a concubine like me? ”

Besides, he lowered his head and thought for a while, and said with a painful expression: "Alas, there is no way, there is no way at all." ”

Xiao Nier was still jealous in her heart at first, and even wanted to find an excuse to vent, seeing the pain, she immediately felt distressed again, touched his head and said: "It's okay, there will always be a way, there is nothing in the world that can't be done." ”

"My head is about to burst, and I can't think of a way, so I can't do anything about it."

Besides, I can't understand what feelings I have for Zuo Ling, at least I don't have the unforgettable love for Pomegranate, it's just that many things came together, first it was a little messy, and when I figured it out, it became like this.

"It's hard to say that she may want to be the same as me, I can let her and let her be my sister." Xiao Nier tried her best to think about it, and forgot about herself.

"No, there are laws in the court, and those that are not allowed." And he showed a look of despair.

The law of the Ming Dynasty stipulates that a man cannot marry two wives, and the emperor can only set up one queen, and must not set up two queens, otherwise the ministers will rebel. Besides, he also knows that there are people who marry multiple in multiple capacities, but he doesn't want to do this, and now he is sorry for Pomegranate, which is tantamount to deception and betrayal of Pomegranate. Xiao Nier is easy to deal with, after all, concubines are a very common phenomenon.

Although Hai Rui is extremely incorruptible, he also accepts a concubine. The emperor could have three palaces and six courts, but there was also a rigorous one, Emperor Xiaozong only had one queen, and the concubines were just decorations, how the ministers persuaded that the rain and dew should be even, and it was useless to Guangshengzi, Xiaozong pretended not to hear. But that's just a special case within a lifetime. It is also a law that the daughters of Nashi are not allowed to be concubines, and no one dares to violate them.

Although Xiao Nier is distressed, she also understands that the law is sacrosanct, and she is glad that she can follow the situation, whether she is a maid or a concubine, at least no one restricts her, otherwise she can only choose to commit suicide.

"Otherwise, let Sister Zuo be the outer room, she doesn't want to get married anyway, she can't let her be helpless." Xiao Nier is like a princess, and she does everything possible to get up.

It's not that she is not jealous, in fact, throwing her into the water tank can make old vinegar. Seeing the painful appearance, she really couldn't stand it in her heart, even if she went up the knife mountain and down the sea of fire, as long as she was happy, she was willing to do it.

The outer room is a woman who is raised outside, neither a wife nor a concubine, although she does not have to be angry with her wife at home, but she has no name. The merchant woman described in Bai Juyi's "Pipa Xing" is the outer room, an outdated famous prostitute raised by a tea merchant outside. If it is a formal concubine, a few literati do not dare to get on the boat to hook up with others, and they are suspected of "coming out after a long time, still holding the pipa and half-covering their faces", they treat others as prostitutes, so they dare to say and do that.

Since ancient times, there has been no shortage of people who have raised the outer room, generally because their wives are jealous and dare not marry outside women into the house as concubines, or because of the special status of women, they cannot be concubines, and Zuo Ling belongs to the latter.

"I don't want to do this, maybe in a few years she will forget about me, and she will find a good family to marry." And sighed.

He looked up at Xiao Nier and said guiltily, "I'm sorry. I'm really sorry for you. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Nier burst into tears, she hugged her head and cried; "Why do you say that, you haven't been sorry for me, you love me so much and spoil me, don't I know? I don't want you to say this, I don't want anything, as long as you're good, as long as you're good......"

Love, sometimes because you can't get it, you want it more, and you love more deeply because of despair.

In the confusion, I suddenly thought of the famous love poem "That Life"-

At that moment, I raised the wind horse, not to beg for blessings, but to wait for your arrival

That day, I closed my eyes in the incense mist of the scripture hall and suddenly heard the mantra in your chant

On that day, the mani pile was erected, not for the cultivation of virtue, but for the stones of the heart lake

That night, I listened to Sanskrit singing for a night, not for enlightenment, but for a trace of your breath

That month I shook all the prayer cylinders not for excess, but for touching your fingertips

That year, I kowtowed and crawled on the mountain road, not for the audience, but for the warmth of you

In that life, the mountains and rivers turned to the pagoda, not to cultivate the next life, but to meet you on the way

At that moment, I soared into an immortal, not for immortality, but for your peace and joy

Besides, they don't have the same state of mind, but they have the same despair.

He indulged in this desperate state of mind for a long time, then got up, found a pen and paper, and recorded this love poem.

He is going to give it to Zuo Ling, and there may be no good results in the future, so let's think about it with this desperate love.

It snowed heavily during the night, and when I woke up the next morning, the ground was covered with a thick layer of white down, and the goose feather snow showed no sign of abating. Looking out, the eyes are full of silver, a silvery white world.

A few soldiers standing guard at the door really couldn't control the cold, so they ran to the house to bake a fire and drink wine to keep warm, and came to the outer house, telling a few soldiers not to stand outside the door in the future, just stay in the house, and there is no need to patrol at night, making the house look like a barracks.

The general stuck out his tongue and shook his head directly: "That's okay, if the governor knows, we have to be beaten." The rules can't be broken. ”

"Don't worry, you listen to him, he listens to me, and in my place, what I say is a military order." Besides, he laughed.

A few soldiers were naturally happy, and they also knew that the Metropolitan Governor had to obey this second master.

In order to let them relax, he also picked up a glass of wine and drank with them for a while, after all, they were people sent by the Marquis's Palace, not a family member hired by him, and they could be regarded as half a guest.

Besides, I chatted with them and asked, "Was it really so fierce back then?" It is said that there were 28 Japanese robbers who plundered from the sea to the interior, attacked cities and land, traveled thousands of miles, plundered countless goods, and finally retreated safely. ”

Besides, I have always felt unbelievable about this legend in history, even if it is a powerful thief, at most he will not be caught, how can more than 20 people attack several state capitals? is also attacking the city and plundering the land, which is too exaggerated.

The general smiled and said, "Second Master, it's all a rumor, and there is nothing at all." There were several big thieves in various localities and some serious crimes, but the local people failed to solve the cases in time, so they lied that they had been attacked by Japanese pirates, so that the magistrates could be exempted from responsibility. As for the fact that some cities were breached, it was also an excuse for the magistrate to swallow the treasury silver and grain to make up for the deficit of the past years, and he also knew about it, but he just closed his eyes and let them pass. These twenty-eight are still a forced number, there are no such ones at all, it is a few Japanese robbers who have been harassed, and they ran away after getting a little cheap. ”

Moreover, it was realized that it was the magistrate who was corrupt or mismanaged, and used this method to make up for the shortfall.

"Back then, the Metropolitan Governor also went to fight the Japanese Invaders, and he knew the matter of the Japanese Invaders best, and the second master asked the Metropolitan Governor to understand." The pro-general said again.

Besides, nodding, I finally figured out an unsolved case, if I figured out everything like this, I would have the opportunity to travel back to my previous life and become a historian.

Not long after, Zuo Ling's face came by stepping on the snow, wearing a silver-white fox fur cloak, holding a tung oil yellow paper umbrella, and his beautiful face was reflected more gorgeously by the snow.

Besides, he hurriedly stepped forward to help her hold the umbrella and kissed her on the lips by the way.

Zuo Ling was stunned, his face was slightly ashamed, his beautiful eyes were affectionate, and he knew that he really didn't care about it.

Xiao Nier came out, just saw this scene, Zuo Ling made a big red face, Xiao Nier said generously: "You don't care about me, and then kiss." He cried for you yesterday. ”

Zuo Ling stared blankly, trying to find clues from his face. Besides, he was silent, using his classic move: a wave of his hand.

Xiao Nier couldn't help laughing, and waved her hand as she did. Not at all, though.

"You're a dead girl, if you don't run me for a day, you'll have to die, right?" Zuo Ling scolded with a smile.

"If you don't believe me, you ask himself." Xiao Nier squeezed her eyes.
