Grandfather has been in an impatient mood these days, and today he can't hold his breath like this, Su Duran faintly feels that the situation is not optimistic. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
He stopped the patriarch's steps and replied, "My grandson tried it today, but the mountain is so steep that it is impossible to climb at all. Grandfather allowed his grandson to prepare for two days, digging some potholes in the mountain, and then using ropes and chains to help him find out what was hidden behind the waterfall. β
Yuping Mountain was controlled by the imperial court, and the Su family could no longer climb it at will in order to avoid people's eyes and ears, so there was a lot less convenience between actions. Now that it is an eventful season, Su Duran plans to attack day and night, climb the steep mountain early, find the hiding place mentioned by his ancestors, and solve his grandfather's urgent needs.
Around the courtyard, there are flower stands of different heights, and there are potted plants on them. The old iron tree has bloomed, obliquely bathed in the sun, and still can't hide the aging and loneliness given by the years.
The patriarch's eyebrows and eyes are the same as the lonely old iron tree. He didn't speak, just firmly held Su Duran's hand and slapped it twice carefully. seems to be apologetic, and seems to have given him a thousand burdens.
The sun was setting in the west, and the bits of gold on the iron trees were dimmed. When the patriarch's wife came to invite him to dinner, the patriarch suddenly realized that time had passed, and he had been pestle in front of the window for an hour or two without moving his body.
The courtyard was filled with twilight, and the lanterns were lit one after another, emitting a dim glow.
On the kang table is a simple four dishes and one soup, the patriarch tastes the same as chewing wax, and a mouthful of buckwheat noodles is bitten in his mouth for a long time and can't swallow it, so he sighs.
The patriarch's wife was considerate, handed the porridge that was neither cold nor hot to the patriarch's hand, and persuaded him warmly: "Master, the so-called plan is in the people, and the success is in the sky." We are worthy of our ancestors and descendants. It's not this generation, and their generation, the children and grandchildren are endless, that is, to learn from the foolish man to move mountains, there will always be a generation that can recover the Great Zhou. β
The old wife is virtuous, and there are already dots of gray hair on her temples, and she suffers with herself day and night, not to mention, she is always so uncomplaining. The patriarch restrained his emotions and tried his best to swallow the dough in his mouth, a kind smile on his face, echoing his wife's almost naΓ―ve statement.
The patriarch intimately sandwiched a chopstick mushroom and Luohan beans for his wife, and let out a heavy sigh in his heart: "Twilight, grandfather is not sorry, who told you to be born as a descendant of the Zhou family, if you are not successful, you can only become benevolent together." β
There were still some available manpower in the clan, and after dinner, the patriarch called a few henchmen over and ordered them to fully cooperate with Su Duran's actions. The patriarch is determined to get that hiding place, and the sooner the better.
I don't know what the imperial court is going to do with Yuping Mountain, the news of Su Guangfu has not arrived for a long time, and the old mansion has to make plans in advance. In the records of the ancestors, the open space was very large, and it could be used as a place to refine the blessing ointment. If the situation changes, he can also find a temporary refuge for the elderly, weak, women and children in the clan.
The old house of the Su family is miserable, and the shadows of the flowers in the Bright Wei Palace are heavy.
Murong Wei made an appointment to see Xia Lanxin and Wen Wan every other day, the summer days were long, and several people thought of ways to cool off. Or linger by the silver swing under the wisteria trellis, or wander on the edge of the lotus pond in the apse.
As usual, it is Yingluo and tassels to cook tea, red beans and fragrant snow to guard the silver hanger, and the white fungus bird's nest porridge that nourishes and nourishes the skin, or the eight-treasure lotus seed soup, the soft and glutinous sweet taste lasts for a long time.
"Let's go green in the spring, pick lotus pods in summer, enjoy chrysanthemums in autumn, pick the snow water of plum hearts in winter, and cook tea around the stove, just like now. β
Boating in the lotus pond, picking fresh lotus pods between your fingers, the tassels will recall the winter of the previous year more and more deeply. It was the tenth day of the lunar month of the seventh year of Chongming, the day when Xia Lanxin and Lu were in the carriage back to the palace from the Xia Mansion, Murong Wei and Tassel said that she sounded sincere longing.
Obsession is like a root, and it is already deeply rooted in the heart of the tassel.
She should not be the girl holding a fan and boiling water by the fireside, but should be as noble as those women who are tasting tea and appreciating lotus, looking down on the golden piles and jade buildings of the court, and enjoying the life of brocade clothes and jade food.
Thinking about the change of identity compared to the gentle one, Luo Pujia, who seems to have been born out of nowhere, is even more unacceptable to the tassel.
Luo Pujia beats herself and distinguishes the fragrance gently, and occasionally walks with Xia Lanxin in the palace. During this time, his personality became cheerful, and his relationship with these people became natural and casual.
A trip back to Beijing on the boat, remembering the singing of Ju Ying around Liang for three days, the violent death of the boss of Ju Ying Ju that day was exchanged for Su Duhan's shallow sigh, but the life and death of this pear garden woman was then left behind by him.
There were too many maids and servants accompanying the boat, whether it was Su Duhan or Tassel, or even the scheming Su Guangfu, no one noticed that Xia Lanxin's ship had a rough maidservant.
This woman, who changed from Juying to Luo Pujia, was already by Zi Mo's side at that time. An An followed them into the imperial city steadily, and quietly lived in the Xia Mansion.
Luo Nayan's sister-in-law traveled thousands of miles to find relatives, and acted in a good story about meeting in the imperial city. This story was told to the queen mother through Murong Wei's mouth, and then to the father and mother, which added more authenticity.
The queen mother read Luo Nayan's kindness to herself, and she also made a special trip to summon the two brothers and sisters in Shoukang Palace, and she was very impressed by the slender and gentle Luo Pujia.
"The mourning family likes tough and upright women, and I don't want you to look weak and have the courage to find relatives for thousands of miles. The Queen Mother used Luo Nayan's medicinal recipe and drank the Astragalus Qi Replenishing Tea that Luo Nayan had instructed, and now she is full of energy, and even her voice is a little fuller.
Luo Pujia was kneeling on the ground, looking up at the queen mother and smiling shyly, revealing a happy expression: "Except for my brother, the women are already alone." No matter how long the landscape is, I always hope to have relatives to rely on. Where there is an elder brother, it is the home of the people's women. β
"Well said", the Queen Mother laughed loudly and motioned for Mama Bai to help her up.
Luo Pujia seems to be an unpolished jade, and her answers are not as tactful and cautious as Wen Wan and others in the past, and her words are more of the most simple and natural.
This pair of brothers and sisters don't know how to be pretentious, they are both straight people, vaguely similar to the temperament of the old lady, and they are deeply liked by the queen mother.
The Empress Dowager Chrysostom said with a kind smile: "The mourning family owed your brother a favor that day, and promised to find relatives for him, but it was fruitless for many days, and he finally owed him a favor." Now that you have come all the way to join you, the mourners have given you this grace and relieved your brother's thoughts. β
Luo Nayan did resign from the reward of the Queen Mother, and would rather still rely on the Xia family to open his pharmacy. Hearing that the Queen Mother brought up the old story again, she rewarded her kindness to her sister, which naturally made him more happy than rewarding herself.
