- Phoenix seeking a phoenix? Piano songs
During the Jueluo period, on Chang'an Street, the most prosperous street in the capital, people came and went, bustling, and the shouting of hawkers was endless. In such a noisy street, no one paid attention to a ragged, crumbled little beggar lying on the side, almost dying.
Although this is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, it cannot guarantee that every household can live a life of food and clothing. Especially in recent years, the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes have become increasingly serious, and people who have been forced to desperate by life abound. Poor families have many children, and only by selling their daughters can they barely support the family's daily expenses. If you suddenly catch some kind of pain, let alone seek medical treatment, you can't even afford the most ordinary medicinal herbs. This little beggar is afraid that she was also abandoned here by her father and mother because she was sick and had no money for treatment. Alas, poor boy! I'm afraid I won't be able to make it through tonight. A few ladies passing by her shook their heads at her and sighed for a while, and finally left silently, there was no way, because their own families had only made do, and where were there other extra rations for someone she didn't know.
However, just then, a horse-drawn carriage came from the street. The carriage was covered in silk on all sides, and the beaded curtains were covered by a curtain of lilac crepe. The carriage stopped in front of the fainted little beggar. A young girl in a light green gauze skirt lifted half of the curtain and leaned out. Then a man who looked like a family picked up the unconscious little beggar on the ground and put her in the car. The carriage turned and departed, bringing up a cloud of dust. No one knew that this little beggar who they thought would not survive tonight would become the "cat county lord" who would be honored by the government and the opposition in the future.
Ten years later, Prince Gong's Mansion Garden
Pavilions, champs in the water, butterflies flying, birds singing and flowers. A young girl dressed in a light pink flag costume sat in the water pavilion, holding a fishing bait, and muttered to herself on the sparkling water: "Little fish, the world says, 'If a person drinks water, he knows whether he is warm or cold'." But they often like to put their subjective consciousness on others. Just like you in the pool now, is this small piece of heaven and earth to your heart's content? ”
At this time, a little maid of about fifteen or sixteen years old hurriedly ran towards the water pavilion; "County Lord! Princess! The emperor sent Father-in-law Fu to deliver the message, and the prince asked you to go to the hall immediately to receive the decree. ”
The girl turned around, and her face sparkled with a pair of watery eyes: "Do you know what's going on?" ”
"The slave doesn't know."
"In this way, it must be that my father has made some meritorious deeds, and the emperor has rewarded him. Zijuan, let's go up to the front hall to see what good things the emperor has rewarded my father this time. I'll let you pick and choose some to play with in a moment. After saying that, he lifted the hem of his skirt and ran towards the front hall like a gust of wind. Zijuan had no choice but to keep up, waiting for the county lord for ten years, but he never understood the little master's thoughts. Sometimes it's like a rabbit, sometimes it's quiet.
The antechamber of Prince Gong's Mansion
"Father, mother, what did the emperor reward?" It's really a human voice, but it has reached everyone's ears, and the sound is like a yellow oriole chirping.
"Ahem...... Cats must not be rude! ”
On the main seat of the hall, a middle-aged man in his forties wearing a cyan court robe looked like a blame, but in fact he was doting, and pretended to scold the cat that ran in. Then he turned his head and said helplessly to Grandpa Fu, who was sitting on the lower left, "Grandpa Fu, don't be surprised." The little girl has a frank personality and is not intentionally colliding. "You don't have to guess to know that this person is the dignified Prince Gong, although he has a kind face, but his phoenix eyes are free and a sense of oppression that is not angry and self-authoritative.
"Hehe, the prince is serious. The county lord is innocent and lively, and he looks like a fairy. In the future, it will be either rich or expensive! The sharp voice of Father-in-law Fu made the girl on the side smart.
"Hehe, borrowed the auspicious words of the blessed father-in-law. I don't know why my father-in-law came this time? ”
"Oh, looking at our family's memory, I'm about to forget about business. Our family came here this time to serve the emperor's will. In a few days it will be Lafayette's birthday, and the emperor intends to let the daughters of the princes and nobles enter the palace to perform their talents on the birthday of the Queen Mother, so as to help her old man's fun. The emperor heard that the 'Heshuo County Lord' of the prince's family was not only dignified and generous, but also talented and good-looking, and had ordered people to give medicine to the people in Beijing many times, distribute food, and help the poor people. Therefore, he specially ordered the old slave to come and inform the prince and the county lord, hoping that the county lord would perform well on the queen mother's birthday and overwhelm the crowd. Lord, long live the lord can wait to reward you. After speaking, he smiled mysteriously at the cat.
The cat looked at his smiling face, only to feel a chill welling up from the soles of his feet. Why did you suddenly feel so cold on this June day?
"The little daughter of this royal generation has thanked the emperor for his kindness." Prince Gong turned around and took a red brocade box in the hand of his entourage and put it in Fuman's hand, "Father-in-law must have worked hard to come here in the summer." This is a night pearl that is paid tribute by neighboring countries, and I hope that my father-in-law will accept it. In the future, if the little girl makes a mistake at the birthday banquet, she will ask her father-in-law to say a few more kind words for the little girl in front of the emperor. ”
"The prince doesn't have to be polite, it's a blessing for our family to be able to serve the prince and the county lord. In the future, I may have to ask the county lord to take care of me. Fuman said with a smile, but he didn't take the brocade box, but just pushed the brocade box back and patted the back of Prince Gong's hand without a trace, "Okay, long live the mantra of the lord, our family has finally brought it, and our family is going back to the palace to resume their lives, so we won't stay longer." Lord Wang, please stay. After speaking, he glanced at the cat mysteriously and left with a smile.
Seeing that Fuman's sedan chair had gone away, Prince Gong's originally flowery face immediately turned gloomy. When a large group of people returned to the hall, Prince Gong sent the cat and the other maids away.
