Chapter 23: The Four Blessings
Like filaments like a curtain of autumn rain beads shrouded the heavens and the earth, the autumn rain gently dripped on a bamboo forest that had just moved in in the spring, gathering into beads. The pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info slid down the slender dark green leaves, and gently hit the lower leaves like beads of broken threads. Intermittently, clear as ears.
Gillian reads in the corridor, and occasionally looks at the rain scenery and admires the bamboo forest.
This bamboo forest has grown very well since it was moved, and it looks even more bright green on rainy days.
Every time Liu Che saw it, he was always very happy, saying that this bamboo does not recognize life, it is a good bamboo.
The emperor said that it was good bamboo, so it was naturally a good bamboo.
Chuntuo deliberately went to ask for a small yellow door dedicated to serving flowers, this bamboo forest was moved by the prince when he heard that Niangniang often played the piano in the forest in Tangyi Houfu.
The emperor is so painstaking, Gillian can't tell him because it's cool in the bamboo forest.
Since you have been the crown princess for a day, let's do it as a profession. No matter the wind or rain, she went to serve the Empress Dowager Dou and Queen Wang, and the Empress Dowager Dou was out of filial piety. And for the queen and queen, it is out of work, since it is work, then do it well.
It's quite cost-effective to think about it, as long as you go to sit and chat with her every day, what do you think about her. has such a generous and pampered life as the crown princess, where can she find such a good thing?
In her spare time, she gradually became fuller, playing the piano, swimming in the lake, enjoying the flowers and listening to the rain.
is no longer like usual, waiting in the palace for Liu Che to think nonsense.
In the past six months, her piano skills have improved a lot, and her mood has changed.
In my previous life, I was taking the exam in order to have a specialty in the future, although there was no pressure of life in this life, I also practiced it as a specialty.
Now, it's just to know how good you can play.
With this mentality, I played the piano more and more.
When playing the piano, it is also more able to blend into the music.
Leaning against the root of the wall, there is a celadon pot with a corrugated bottom of the lotus pond lotus pattern. It is planted with a bowl lotus, and it is now at the end of its flowering season. The flowers are big and colorful, the fragrance is far overflowing, and the Lingbo green cover. Light yellow, purple rose, pink, pink, pure white, it's not so good. The petals are overlapped, reflecting the lotus leaf water, which is smart and graceful.
This is also the new little yellow door of raising bamboo for Gillian, she inadvertently said that it would be nice to be able to appreciate the lotus on a rainy day. The next day, he went to ask for more than 20 pots of lotus, but when he came, he had not yet opened, and he was still spitting out leaves.
When it bloomed, she was pleasantly surprised. More than 20 pots, the pots are not the same, Xiao Huangmen told her one by one.
Because he served him well, the lotus flowers in the Taiye Pool are withering until now, and she can still see them here.
For this, Gillian specially rewarded him twice. Wanlian likes wet and loving light, he has to move out every day, seeing his hard work, he called a little yellow door to follow him to help.
Gillian didn't have a good impression of the Yellow Gate before, and the eunuchs like Zhao Gao, Wei Zhongxian, and Wang Zhen, who used power to form parties in history, made a deep impression on her. On the one hand, she is afraid of their inner darkness and intelligence, and on the other hand, she sympathizes with them.
She has always been in a wait-and-see attitude towards the Yellow Gate, and she has never used eunuchs in her palace.
But since the arrival of this flower-raising eunuch named Sifu, her impression of the eunuch has changed a lot. The name Sifu sounds like a dog name at first glance, according to Sifu, he had two sisters and an elder brother before him who did not survive, and when he arrived, his parents named him Sifu, hoping to live well with the blessings of the children in front of him.
Later, in a disaster year, there was another flood in my hometown. He and his parents begged all the way to Chang'an, thinking that they could survive by begging for food through his father's carpentry skills. But after a few months of wandering, my mother fell ill as soon as she settled down, and it was a cold wind, but there was no money to cure it.
My mother was getting sicker and worse day by day, and the house leak happened to rain overnight, and my father also had an emergency. In Chang'an, where he was unfamiliar with his life, he was unaccompanied. He could only sell himself as a slave, and he sold the most valuable Yellow Gate among them.
He lived, and so did his parents.
At that time, he was only eight years old.
When he said this, he couldn't see the bitterness and hardships of the past. He always laughed before he spoke, and called this sister and that sister with a smile.
In his words, he was already grateful to be alive, so how dare he ask for more?
Gillian was deeply touched by his words, and she was ashamed of herself. All she worries about every day is an unknown fate, but more people even have a problem of survival.
Seeing the thick unbearability in her eyes, the wooden pen stepped forward to change a cup of tea for Gillian. persuaded Gillian that the poor family was such a day, and now it is much better. I heard that in the past few decades, cannibalism was common.
With that, she stepped back gently. When I got inside, I was still sighing, saying that the princess was really kind-hearted, and she couldn't see others suffer a little. Yulan rebuked her in a low voice, saying that Niangniang grew up in wealth, how had she heard of this? also told the mother that people were cannibalistic, and then frightened the mother.
Growing up in wealth?
She sat on the verandah and sighed to herself, didn't she?
is in a well-off family in the previous life, because of illness, parents are also pampered and have never suffered a little. Because the poverty rate in China was decreasing every year at that time, she hardly saw poor people who really couldn't eat and starved.
During the Qin Dynasty, there were no less than 3 million people serving in forced labor every year, and the heavy forced labor forced thousands of peasants to leave agricultural production, and the heavy taxes caused a large number of peasants to go bankrupt, causing the society to appear in a scene of economic decline. Coupled with the influence of the peasant war at the end of the Qin Dynasty and the dispute between Chu and Han, the early Han Dynasty not only had a shortage of grain, but also the price was expensive, and it was not surprising that people ate people.
Meat eaters despise and fail to plan far.
It's about her being born in Zhong Mingding's family, but she can't even tell which grains they are.
Gillian put down the book in her hand and couldn't read it.
As soon as Liu Che entered the hall, he heard that the crown princess was reading books and enjoying the rain in the corridor of the inner hall, and he shook his head and laughed at her for being so elegant.
He changed his clothes to see her, and she was wandering.
He had stood across from her, and had not yet seen her.
She frowned because of her contemplation, she used the words of the queen mother since she was a child, and it was a little untouchable to the fireworks of the world.
Several generations of queens of the Han family were born poor, and only she was called noble.
She has the qualifications not to eat fireworks in the world, she will be the queen in the future, and she will be the queen mother.
After she married in, she did not hold her own identity, and treated her mother with the same respect and filial piety as the Empress Dowager Dou. Even her mother said privately that she was still a little worried that Gillian would be as arrogant as the eldest princess.
She never complained about the trivial things of life in front of him, she had her own pastime when he was away, and she seemed to be so bright at all times.
Like now, it's really rare.
Curious, he coughed lightly.
She came to her senses and found him.
Smile at him.
Her face was as calm as water, and she seemed to be the same as usual, but something was different. She put down the book and walked briskly towards him, "I'm back."
She smiled softly, radiantly.
The personalities of the sons of heaven of the Han family are different, but filial piety is the same.
Liu Che would go to the Queen Mother's palace every few days to say hello, and the Queen Mother was getting older and more attached to her children. The eldest son is the Son of Heaven, and natural state affairs are important. The youngest son has already gone first, and he relies more on the eldest daughter Guantao.
So Liu Che went to the Queen Mother's Palace, and the eldest princess was by her side every time.
The identity of the eldest princess makes even if she listens to Gillian now, she tries to dress plainly when she enters the palace, her skirt does not drag the ground, and the embroidery cannot be gold. But the arrogance between the eyebrows and eyes still lit up the whole person.
Compared with her, her grandmother is just a kind and thin old man, and her mother is just a gentle and obedient middle-aged lady, she is more like the most noble woman in the world than anyone else.
I remembered my mother's occasional dissatisfaction with my aunt, or jealousy.
A woman's excessive grace and luxury is a little unpleasant to the mother of the mother of the world. Gillian is her only daughter, but she is not like her at all.
From childhood to adulthood, Gillian was favored by her elders. and betrothed to him, it was the queen. In the future, there will be no more noble woman than her. Even her mother, too, can't.
However, she is never arrogant, kind and innocent like a greenhouse flower who does not know the facts. The praise of the outside world is sought after by her, and it has not had any impact so far.
She never mentioned her support from time to time like her aunt to protect her favor. She wasn't obsessed with him either, and she kept herself full in his absence. When he was there, she looked at him with joy in her eyes.
She liked him as much as he liked her.
Isn't it taken for granted that from childhood to adulthood?
But in the afternoon, the sadness and coldness in her eyes made her look like clouds on the horizon, close in front of her eyes but beyond her reach.
She has always been satisfactory, she often smiles when serving her mother, even the palace people say that even her daughter is not so caring. Several of his sisters were also cordial and respectful, and told them that the crown princess was easy to get along with. treats him more comfortably from all aspects of life.
But, does he know her?
He used to think that being accompanied every day and being endlessly pampered was what she wanted. She was really happy.
But today, when she saw him, she pretended to be fine, and still treated him as usual.
In her heart, there is a small world.
No one walked in, not even him.
She would also be distracted like this when she was a child, and she seemed a little more dusty and taller at that time. If you think about it carefully, her happiness seems to be covered with an invisible veil from childhood to adulthood, but it does exist.
He kept staring at Guantao, and finally asked Guantao to cover his mouth and smile: "Che'er, isn't it that my aunt has flowers on her face?" ”
He lowered his head and chuckled, "No, I think Jiaojiao really looks like you." ”
No matter how old Gillian is, she is always full of chatterbox. Liu Che gave her a head, and she couldn't help but recall how sensible and cute Gillian was when she was a child. Finally, he concluded: "She, everyone else says that she looks like me, which is also good, her temper is more like her grandmother, and she has her own hills and valleys in her chest." ”
Empress Dowager Dou smiled, remembered Gillian and said: "This child is like me than you, although he is young, he is very stable." Let's say she doesn't have a temper, but in fact, her temperament is greater than anyone else's. ”
It was as if a word woke up a person in a dream, and he seemed to be awakened.
Indeed, although the Empress Dowager Dou is thin and gentle, the world in her heart is so big that even her father often says that she can't reach it.
