Chapter 11 The Red Face Always Lives Thinly
Let's say that Zhang Junfang read Bi Rongxie's letter, so he was in a hurry to go to Rabbit Mountain to make an appointment, and Nan Su had hired the carriage to come, and when he turned back to his life, Zhang Junfang happened to be out of Kunning Palace. "β€ eight, β€ one, β€ in", β€ text,.
Zhang Junyu was about to board the carriage with Nan Xu, but he didn't want to see Meidai running out in a hurry and called: "Niangniang."
Hearing Zhang Jun's reply, he was slightly displeased, frowned slightly, and reprimanded angrily: "When were you so panicked!"
Mei Dai said: "Aunt Qi from Qingning Palace came and said that the Empress Dowager invited her mother to come over."
"The Empress Dowager?" Zhang Junyu frowned, glanced sideways at Nan Xu, and then turned around, and then went back to Kunning Palace, Nan Xu saw Zhang Junyu go back, so he turned back to the coachman and said: "Drive the carriage to wait outside Jingyun Gate."
The coachman immediately asked, "Hey, Yin Zhangshi, are we going to leave from the noon gate?"
Nan Xu didn't answer, just looked at him coldly, the coachman laughed, and said, "This noon gate...... I'm afraid I won't let it go. β
"Niangniang wants to leave the palace, who is not afraid of death dares to stop her!"
Nan Xu said that, and went to Qingning Palace with Zhang Junyu.
The sandalwood in the Qingning Palace is overflowing, a dark brown lonely shadow, holding her forehead with one hand, lying on the soft couch on her side, the vicissitudes of life and grace, her eyes are slightly closed, the corners of her lips are lightly raised, and her expression is auspicious, but the warm pavilion is silent, which makes people feel deeply depressed.
"The concubine asks for peace to the imperial grandmother," Zhang Junyu entered and saw that the Empress Dowager Zhou seemed to be taking a nap, so he lowered his voice, for fear of disturbing her.
Since the Empress Dowager Zhou ordered Qi Mei to summon Zhang Junfang, how could she take advantage of this gap to rest, and when the words fell, she sat up leisurely, raised her eyes to look at Zhang Junfang, the corners of her eyes drooped slightly, showing a kind smile, and beckoned: "Come and sit, talk to the mourning family."
"Yes," Zhang Junyu said slightly. Then Lianbu moved to the soft couch and sat down.
"The mourning family heard the emperor say a few days ago that the queen likes the big red robe?" The Empress Dowager Zhou still smiled kindly, and there seemed to be a bit of ridicule in her words.
Zhang Junyu was slightly stunned, and then smiled back with her. He answered, "Yes."
Empress Dowager Zhou raised her hand to lift the holding pot, poured some tea into the two teacups, lowered her eyes and said gently: "Listen to the emperor, the queen has followed him, and the more proficient you are in the art of tea." The mourners have called you here today. It is to invite you to drink tea with the mourning family, and by the way, our grandparents and grandchildren will learn from each other. β
Zhang Junyu smiled and said: "Your Majesty is boasting of changing the law, how can the imperial grandmother believe it, such a word, but she has promoted her concubine." The concubine is just interested in the art of tea, how can she say that she is proficient, and she is not as good as the emperor's grandmother. Eighty-one? Chinese? β Net. ?β
The Empress Dowager Zhou laughed so hard when she heard this, she only pushed the teacup in front of Zhang Junyu and said, "This is the big red robe that Chong'an paid tribute to this year. The fourth tree from the Jiulong collection wall of Tianxin Rock in Wuyi Mountain, you can taste it first. β
Zhang Junfang listened to the call and looked at the tea in the cup, and couldn't help but condense his eyebrows, the tea in the cup is only three points shallow, how can he taste the taste, but the Empress Dowager Zhou is also a person who is proficient in the tea ceremony, since she is such a speech, I am afraid that there is something in the words, and it is difficult to guarantee that she does not want to test Zhang Junfang.
When the Empress Dowager Zhou saw Zhang Junfang frowning, she naturally wanted to ask. Just like teasing, he asked: "Why, don't you think that the mourning family brewed this tea." Doesn't smell good enough? β
"The imperial grandmother is making fun of the concubine again," Zhang Junyu raised his eyes and said with a smile: "The tea made by the imperial grandmother smells mellow, but the effort to come to the concubine to taste the tea is still insufficient." Today, I'm afraid I won't be able to taste the subtleties in this tea. β
"Tea is in your heart, but you have distracting thoughts in your heart?" The Empress Dowager Zhou did not give up because of this, but pursued it relentlessly.
Zhang Junyu was naturally a little stunned, the old lady was so strange today, and she didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in this gourd.
"According to what the imperial grandmother said, I am afraid that the concubine's mind is not calm enough, and with this tea, the concubine can't make a decision, but she has disappointed the imperial grandmother's intentions, and the concubine should be punished."
The Empress Dowager Zhou raised her lips and smiled when she heard this, and said: "You young people, don't talk about what should be punished all day long, you know, if you reach the age of the mourning family, it is still difficult to live well, so ah, while you are still young at this time, say more nice things, don't always say something that should be punished."
"Yes," Zhang Junzi also echoed the sneer, and said, "The concubine remembers the teachings of the imperial grandmother."
Zhang Junfang originally thought that if there was a fork, the Empress Dowager Zhou would be able to forget about the tea just now, but who thought that she was still smiling and said: "But this tea, you will definitely taste a truth today."
This week, the Empress Dowager asked again and again, Zhang Junfang was stubborn several times, so she had to face it calmly, and said with a smile: "Then, I don't know how the emperor's grandmother wants her concubines to behave?"
"Since you love the big red robe, you must also have some talent, do you know the origin of this tea?" Empress Dowager Zhou smiled unabated.
"The concubine is lonely and unheard, and she only knows a little about the origin of this tea, and she is really ashamed of the hatchet."
The Empress Dowager Zhou said: "If you have talent, you can't bury it, you can tell it and listen to it."
Zhang Jun drooped, said: "Taizu Hongwu eighteen years, Ding Xianshang is a person, he entered Beijing to catch the exam, passing through Wuyi Mountain when sudden dysentery, originally thought that there was no medicine to treat, I am afraid to throw the body in the wilderness, unfortunately met the abbot of Tianxin Yongle Temple to rescue, the abbot only took tea and boiled with him to drink, so far, his dysentery is cured without medicine. Eight β one? β Chinese?. β β
"Later, Ding Xian high school jinshi, on the way back to Yongle Temple to thank the abbot, when he learned the origin of the tea, he wrapped the python robe around the tea tree three times, so this tea, to the name of 'big red robe'," Zhang Junfang smiled, to the Empress Dowager's slightly dirty eyes, and then said: "Imperial grandmother, I don't know what the concubine said, is it right!"
The Empress Dowager Zhou also smiled and said, "The emperor is really smart, compared to the mourning family back then, but it is slightly better."
Zhang Junfang needed to be humble and replied: "Don't dare to be, in front of the imperial grandmother, the concubine is just playing some tricks, which makes the imperial grandmother laugh."
At that time, it happened that the Empress Xiaoci had been ill for a long time, and the hundred doctors were ineffective, Ding Xian heard about it, so he offered this tea, and the Empress Xiaoci was able to gradually recover from dysentery, Taizu was overjoyed, gave a red robe, and ordered Ding Xian to go to Jiulong to drape it on the tea tree to show his grace. Since then, Wuyi Rock Tea Dahongpao has become our royal tribute tea, and its reputation is also far and wide. Yongle Temple corrected fruit. Hongwu bestows a big red dress. Half of the country has no one to send, and the Nine Dragons and Rocks will come to taste it," the Empress Dowager Zhou continued.
Zhang Junfang waited for the Empress Dowager Zhou to finish, and then answered: "Imperial grandmother." The concubine has a saying, I don't know whether to say it or not. β
Empress Dowager Zhou was slightly stunned and said, "You say."
"What the imperial grandmother just said is indeed a little recorded in the ancient books. However, according to the concubine's humble opinion. I am afraid that there are still flaws in the ancient books. According to ancient records, Ding Xian was in the eighteenth year of Hongwu to offer tea for the Empress Xiaoci to treat the disease, but the Empress Xiaoci had died as early as the fifteenth year of Hongwu. β
The Empress Dowager Zhou couldn't stop hearing her words and was satisfied. "The queen's mind is really delicate, but she is a little sloppy in handling things. These are all digressions, today's mourning family called you here, not just to taste tea, you also expected a little. β
"What the imperial grandmother taught me is that the concubines will definitely pay attention to things in the future," Zhang Junfang realized that the Empress Dowager Zhou had summoned her today. It was to reproach her.
Jinyu's identity was only revealed by Nan Xu last night, and today the Empress Dowager summoned her over to reprimand her like this, if it weren't for Jinyu's affairs, Zhang Junyu really couldn't think of a reason.
Empress Dowager Zhou smiled kindly. Poured four points of tea in front of him into Zhang Junyu's cup, and said as if with deep meaning: "I just want you to taste tea, but the tea in the cup is only three points full, do you know the intention of mourning the family?"
"Concubines are ignorant. I don't know why. β
"Three-point full tea can't taste it, and the mourning family's four-point full can't taste its sweetness, but if the mourning family pours these two cups of tea into one cup, the result is completely different. As a member of the six palaces, you should handle the affairs of the palace well, but now that the people in the palace are scattered, fighting endlessly, and the recession is good, what you should do is to let them be like this tea, close to unity. In this way, can you understand the meaning of mourning? Empress Dowager Zhou lowered her face, and her seriousness was no longer as kind as before.
With Zhang Junyu's intelligence, it is naturally clear that what the Empress Dowager Zhou refers to is nothing more than the Empress Dowager.
It seems that Jinyu's movements are fast.
"The mourning family is here today, I hope you will do it yourself, and don't go on the road of Wan's family."
"Yes," Zhang Junyu was not frightened, still calm and calm, and the Empress Dowager Zhou said: "You retreat."
Zhang Junfang stood up and said, "The concubine retires."
It is said that Zhang Junfang should have stepped down and gained a sense of ease, but she was unwilling, raised her eyes and looked at the Empress Dowager Zhou, hid her fierce light slightly, and said coldly: "I also look at the emperor's grandmother, so I can do it myself."
After Zhang Junyu finished speaking, he turned around and walked straight out of Qingning Palace. I think that when the first emperor was in power, the Empress Dowager Zhou was still the empress dowager, and Concubine Wan Guifei was spoiled, not only did she not take the middle palace in her eyes, but even treated her with great disrespect. It stands to reason that the Empress Dowager should have been a big thunderbolt when she heard Zhang Junyu's words this week, but she had a peaceful temperament and no anger, which is indeed strange.
"You say, what method will the queen use to get rid of Jinyu?" The Empress Dowager Zhou stared at Zhang Junyu's figure as she gradually drifted away.
Qi Mei glanced at her sideways, and then looked at Zhang Junyu like her, and said, "According to the slave's opinion, Jinyu may have a few more days to live."
Empress Dowager Zhou took a deep breath and sighed: "If Jinyu doesn't die, the mourning family will not be comfortable in their hearts."
After a long distance out of Qingning Palace, Nan Xu said: "Niangniang, Jinyu is afraid that she will not be able to stay for a long time."
Zhang Junfang's face was quite indifferent, and he only said: "Stay with her for a few more days, and if you do it now, I'm afraid you will startle the snake."
The spring scenery of Rabbit Mountain is picturesque, and the vegetation is lush.
"What do you want me to do here?" Tan Yifeng does not squint, standing on the edge of the cliff, looking at the sky.
Rong Xie side, smiled with him gently and indifferently, and then turned around and said, "Scatter."
Tan Yifeng didn't say a word, stood quietly beside her, and just smiled.
Rong Xie didn't hear his words, his expression was a little gloomy, the breeze gently blew in his ears, leaving a silence, and after a long time, Rong Xie finally asked: "Brother Tan, do you think that I look like a fool?"
Hearing Rong Xie's words, Tan Yifeng still smiled faintly as before, and only said, "If you like it, it's fine."
Rong Xie smiled bitterly, lowered his eyes, as if to hide the grievance in his eyes, and then took a long breath, then raised his eyes into the distance, and asked with a forced smile: "Brother Tan, do you remember the scene when the four of us flew kites on the small hill in the western suburbs outside the city?"
"Remember," Tan Yifeng replied without pause, but he said so much and said no more.
Rong Xie sighed and said, "The small hill of the year is no longer there, and the four of us have also parted ways. Although Sister Jun and Bo Jian have a marriage contract, but she has always regarded Bo Jian as a younger brother, she once told me that if her marriage with Bo Jian is not reversed in the future, then she will leave the Zhang family with you, the world is big, and the four seas are home. But she didn't marry Bo Jian in the end, and she didn't elope with you. β
"Sister Jun's temperament has always been stubborn, she said that she would not marry Bojian, so she would definitely not marry him. After you left, she was waiting for you, waiting for you to ride a high-headed horse and hire eight sedan chairs to marry her, but she still couldn't wait for you in the end. Bo Jian suddenly became seriously ill, and the Sun family asked her to marry Chongxi, and the Zhang family did not want to suffer a loss, so they had to send her to the palace," Rong Xie Yan sneered at this point and said: "Coincidentally, after Sister Junqi entered the palace, Bo Jian's illness was inexplicably cured." Talking about the eldest brother, you say, is Sister Junqi destined to be the mother of the world? β
Tan Yifeng was silent, his face stiffened, and Rong Xie said: "Do you know, in fact, back then, I hoped so much that Sister Junyu would accept her fate and marry Bojian, I was selfish, I just wanted to break you up, but I didn't dare."
Rong Xie just said, Tan Yifeng couldn't help it, so he turned around and wanted to leave, but Rong Xie hugged him, turned his head and stuck it behind his back, and before he knew it, he was already crying with pear blossoms and rain, and only said: "Brother Tan, why are you so stubborn."
Tan Yifeng's eyebrows were tightly twisted, and he didn't push her away, and after a long pause, he finally said lightly: "I don't have a heart."
Rong Xie was slightly stunned when he heard this, and Tan Yifeng raised his hand to push her away and pulled her in front of him. Rong Xie walked up to him, stretched out his hand and was about to put it on his heart, but suddenly he saw a black shadow not far away, and saw a person dressed in black, even his face covered with a black cloth.
At that time, Rong Xie saw that he was holding a sword in his hand, so he immediately pulled Tan Yifeng to turn around without saying a word, and willingly blocked the sword for him.
The man in black was startled when he saw the situation, and quickly drew his sword back, but Rong Xie had already fallen in a pool of blood.
The man in black thought that he was sorry, so he didn't leave immediately, but just stood here in a daze, only to see Tan Yifeng hugging Rong Xie, and muttering again and again: "Xie'er...... Xie Er......"
"We don't have hearts, can we be together......" Rong Xie spoke in a very low voice, I am afraid that only Tan Yifeng could hear it, she trembled her hands and slowly raised it, as if she wanted to touch Tan Yifeng's heart, but she finally failed to touch him, and it was only the distance of that finger.
The man in black saw that Rong Xie was no longer breathless, and he turned around and wanted to leave, but when he turned around, he saw Zhang Junfang standing not far away, so he was shocked.
Zhang Junfang also looked at him from a distance, with a chill in his eyes, and she recognized those eyes.
The man in black looked at Zhang Junyu for a long time before he crossed her and went straight down the mountain. (To be continued.) )
