Chapter XI
Ten days later, Liu Fangru sent Liu Yu away, and from then on, Liu Fangru became Liu Mama by Yin Lihua's side. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info Mama Liu came to Yin Lihua's side, in addition to teaching her the etiquette in the palace, she also talked about the open and secret battles in the palace.
Every time Yin Lihua listened to Mama Liu's words, she had a feeling of chilling all over her body, and she had to sigh that the harem women's city and strategy were not inferior to the men in the world. In her opinion, the harem is undoubtedly a bloodless battlefield for killing, and the rumors are really making it difficult for people to sleep, thinking of this, I can't help but feel a deep fear. She looked at Mama Liu, and asked very puzzledly: "Sister Fang Ru, as you said, the harem is shaped like a tiger's den in Longtan, you don't have to go with me, if you want to repay the favor, stay in the house, if there is a suitable man in the future, wouldn't it be good to marry a husband and have children?" As for revenge, we will not sit idly by in the future. ”
When Mama Liu heard this, she smiled disapprovingly and said with a wry smile: "For slaves and maids, Longtan Tiger's Den is much better than the displaced in the past, and slaves and maids have never been afraid. For example, as far as the young lady is concerned, it is not impossible to stay in the house, but it is of little use, what the slaves and maids can do in the house, other slaves and maids can do the same, but it is different in the palace. As for marrying a husband and having children, the slave maid never thought that in the eyes of the slave maid, there is no man in the world who is single-minded, if the pursuit of fame and fortune is the ambition of men, love and lust can be their nature, and they are committed to being humiliated by it, why not live a life alone. ”
Yin Lihua was shocked when she heard it for the first time, and she thought about Liu Fangru's life for a while, she felt that Liu Fangru was open-minded if she did not hate men in the world, and completely different encounters determined the way forward, Yin Lihua had not experienced everything Liu Fangru had suffered, so she could not persuade her, and once again determined Liu Fangru's intentions, and she would not ask again in the future, so as not to make Liu Fangru sad. It's just that Liu Fangru's words touched her heart, Liu Fangru said that all men in the world love lust and luck, she knows that some men are not, such as her brother, but Liu Xiu is? She really didn't know, since she learned that Liu Xiu married Guo Shengtong, Yin Lihua found that she might never really know Liu Xiu, and she still hadn't thought clearly about what to do in the future.
Mama Liu looked thoughtful when she saw Yin Lihua hearing this, her eyes showed a blank meaning, and she sighed faintly in her heart. She knew that what she said would inevitably cause Yin Lihua to panic, after all, Yin Lihua's living environment has always been so clean and beautiful, but this is not the purpose of what she said, she just wanted Yin Lihua to have a deep understanding of the harem and men, and he would not take it lightly when he entered the palace. She knew that Yin Lihua had been let down, and she was at a loss, so she said to Yin Lihua: "Miss, whether it is a blessing or a curse, you have to face it." Since everything is set, endure humiliation and seek perfection, in the deep palace, it is better to be pampered for a lifetime, prosper the family, and restore the glory of the ancestors. ”
Mama Liu's words made Yin Lihua feel like an empowerment, and she suddenly lifted the layers of heavy fog and saw the bright road ahead. Yes, although she can't get what she wants, instead of living in a mess, it is better to live hard for the Yin family, at least she is worthy of the family. She is now a concubine, and she is implicated in the family, even if she is not rare, she has to fight for it, she wants to walk side by side with her brothers and restore the lintel. Thinking of this, Yin Lihua asked Liu Fangru with a serious face: "According to what Sister Fangru saw, what should I do when he meets His Majesty in the future?" Although Liu Xiu failed her, she knew that she couldn't question, and there must be this grievance, but she didn't know whether she should show it or not, and let Liu Xiu know.
After Liu Fangru was silent for a moment, Fang said, "Let's see how Your Majesty is first." If His Majesty is guilty, the young lady will be calm and generous; If Your Majesty is fine, the young lady will naturally have to be calm and calm, but she must not be quiet to cause His Majesty to be ashamed, so that she can manage her life. If you want to be invincible in the palace, you must first have the calmness of Mount Tai collapsing in front of you and not changing your face, and you can quickly generate wisdom with a stable mind, so that you can turn danger into a disaster; Secondary, the ears and eyes are clear, good at observing words and feelings, and can discern every detail, so that they can seek advantages and avoid disadvantages; Moreover, we must be empathetic, win the heart of the emperor, and never move in old age. ”
Yin Lihua listened to it and thought so, but the first two were not difficult, and the difficulty was the last one. For Liu Xiu, who married a flat wife, and then broke her faith and spoiled her wife to have the eldest son, Yin Lihua had a grudge, thinking that she had to endure these grievances and be unwilling to please Liu Xiu, her heart was really uncomfortable. What she wants is to be in harmony with Liu Xiuqin, even if she can't get it, she shouldn't be so scheming, she would rather go to great lengths to Liu Xiu than to be scheming to him, if that's the case, wouldn't the lives of the two people be extremely sad, but the husband and wife who should be sincere to each other are so detached, Yin Lihua thinks about it and feels that this life is sad. Of course, she didn't say these thoughts to Liu Fangru, if she said them to Liu Fangru, Liu Fangru would definitely say that she was confused. She remembered that Liu Fangru said: Emperors are always ruthless, so they must not have extravagant hopes, let alone infatuation, otherwise they will reap the consequences. Although Liu Xiu has become an emperor, Liu Xiu, who used to be with her two hearts and minds, is not an emperor, and today let her say that she will let go of it, how easy it is to say. At this moment, she wished she could make another choice, but unfortunately she had no way back when she came to today's place.
Although Mama Liu didn't know what Yin Lihua was thinking at this time, she also knew that the Yin family had always been affectionate, so it was impossible for Yin Lihua to cut off her deep affection for Liu Xiu at the moment. She hopes that Yin Lihua will be ruthless to Liu Xiu from now on, but she is also worried that Liu Xiu will hurt Yin Lihua, a lover, after all, since ancient times, love has always been ruthlessly hurt. Let's see, in short, she will do her best to protect and help Yin Lihua. Liu Fangru looked at Yin Lihua and secretly decided in her heart.
On the 18th day of the winter of the first year of Jianwu (25 AD), Liu Xiu's car entered Luoyang, fortunately stationed in Nangong but not in the palace, and the capital was set in Luoyang from then on. Everything was settled, and Liu Xiu immediately sent Fu Jun to Xinye to pick up Yin Lihua and the Liu family who he was thinking about.
On the eve of leaving, Yin Lihua waited for Yin Deng's grooming and covered her with a quilt, she held Yin Deng's hand and said, "Mother, don't worry." His Majesty still has affection for his daughter, and his daughter will rely on this affection to make His Majesty better and better for his daughter, and he will be favored for a lifetime. Daughters deserve to be like this, mother, what do you say? ”
Yin Deng immediately said with a smile: "It should be like this." ”
Yin Lihua said: "Therefore, my daughter is going to enjoy happiness, but unfortunately my mother is not with me." This time I entered Beijing, I don't know when I will return, I don't know when I will see you in the future, my daughter can't be filial to you from now on, only pray for you day and night, and hope that you will be healthy and happy. Mother, you have to take good care, don't worry about everything, and it is right to live happily. ”
Yin Deng stretched out his other hand, gently patted the back of Yin Lihua's hand, and sighed reluctantly: "Mother's sweet girl." His eyes looked at Yin Lihua's face reluctantly, "When my mother is at this age, what else can't I see, you can just go, my mother will be fine." It's getting late, and you have to hurry tomorrow, so go back early and rest. ”
"Daughter, I'll go back when you're asleep." As she spoke, she put Yin Deng's hand back into the quilt and sang the ballad that Yin Deng had hummed for her when she was a child.
Yin Deng smiled and fell asleep in his daughter's beautiful singing.
The next day, Yin Lihua and Liu Huang and his wife, escorted by Yin Zhi and Fu Jun, set off for Luoyang. However, Liu Wu and Liu Ding stayed because they were reluctant to leave their hometown.
As it is today, torn apart, in turmoil, many people are displaced, starved or frozen, and their bodies are exposed in the wilderness. The world is in turmoil, and there is no one more bitter than the people. Every time I thought of the skinny and hollow eyes of those weak nephews and women I saw on the road, Yin Lihua couldn't swallow it. After thinking about it again and again, she finally told her brother Yin Zhi of her intentions, "Big brother, I want to sell the valuable things in my hand and exchange them for some food for those displaced people. ”
Yin Zhi disagreed, he said, "Big brother knows that you have a good heart, but with your own strength, it is very insignificant. Besides, one time of food can't change anything after all, so why bother. The valuable objects in your hands are carefully prepared by your mother for you in the future, and you must not be reckless. ”
Yin Lihua shook her head and said, "Big brother, the sage has a saying: 'Don't do it because the evil is small, don't do it because the good is small.'" 'My sister is not a pedantic person, but the words of a saint must be true, and my sister just asks for peace of mind. If my sister doesn't do it today, I will be uneasy in this life. In addition, the sister and the food given to her were not intended to make her hungry, but to give her hope for life. The younger sister believed that the eldest brother had also seen it, and in addition to being skinny and hungry, they were clearly blind, and seemed to have no desire to live. However, they are only in their prime, and they are only children, and they have a long rest of their lives, and they can make a difference, and it would be a pity if they passed away. The grain given by my sister is only intended to be planted in the wasteland, and when the harvest comes, if the world can be governed, so that you can live and work in peace and contentment, wouldn't it be very good. Even if the harvest is not a great place for the world, at least there is a stable place for them to live in peace, which is very good. It's better to have hope than hopeless, it's better to have something to do than to think about nothing, big brother, what do you think? ”
When Yin Zhi listened carefully, he couldn't help but feel ashamed, and he couldn't help but think: Could it be that he has been on the battlefield, killing people like hemp, and has become cold-blooded and has no compassion? His own ambition is to help Mingjun benefit the people, and he has seen the people suffering but has stood by and watched, which is not contrary to his own ambition. Thinking of this, Yin Zhi couldn't help but feel a little guilty, and he didn't object to Yin Lihua's proposal, he said, "What my sister said is very true. My sister's suggestion, my brother will do his best to help. Don't worry, what you sell today, your brother will find it better for you tomorrow. ”
Yin Lihua was already very happy to have the support of Yin Zhi, and when she heard what he said later, she was even happier in her heart, she felt that she was very lucky and happy. Although she has not met the wishful husband she asked for in this life, she is enough to have relatives.
In this way, Yin Lihua began to sell her things in exchange for food, so that Yin Zhi could distribute them to the refugees. Yin Zhi said to the refugees: "You can have a full stomach with the food in your hands, and then you will die in a dazed and miserable manner like this day, and you will die in a foreign land, in the wilderness of violent corpses, and no one cares about it; You can also open up the grain in your hands, and when the harvest is under the great rule of the world, you can live and work in peace and contentment, even if the world has not yet been governed, here will be great peace, you can also have three meals a day to be satisfied, children and daughters, maybe you can also return to your hometown in fine clothes, return to your hometown with honor, and your children and grandchildren will be around your knees and enjoy the joy of family that day. ”
I saw that those refugees gradually regained their brilliance when they listened to the words of Yin Zhi, but they didn't believe what Yin Zhi said. So, some refugees asked about the identity of the yin.
Yin Zhi worshiped the commander of the capital when he was the first emperor, sealed the Yin township, Liu Xiu called the emperor, and ordered all places to temporarily take their original positions. Yin Zhi informed them of his identity as a lieutenant, plus Fu Jun's status as a servant. Although many of the people present didn't know that the official commander and the attendant were not big, as long as it was an official word, they would believe a lot in their hearts, and they also had brains, they had nothing now, no matter what the purpose of Yin Zhi and Fu Jun was, it was useless, so they naturally believed in the words of Yin Zhi, in fact, the most important thing was that Yin Zhi's words touched their hopeless and empty hearts. So they reverently took the grain and left hopefully.
Yin Lihua watched from the sidelines, as if asking herself, "I don't know if this move is right or wrong, and whether it can help them?" ”
Liu Fangru, who was guarding Yin Lihua's side, heard Yin Lihua's words, and she responded: "When the slave and mother were displaced in the past, even if they received the leftovers of others' charity, they were overjoyed, and from now on, they will have more strength to try to live." ”
When Yin Lihua heard this, she looked sideways at Liu Fangru, feeling pity in her heart, but she was speechless.
