Chapter 128: The Great Year
Chang Runzhi slept unsteadily this night.
It has been more than 20 days since she got married, even in the days when she was a child, Liu Tong slept with her, or hugged her, or hugged her, her ears and temples grinding, like glue and knees.
Suddenly, she was the only one sleeping on the bed this night, and Chang Runzhi felt unaccustomed to it.
Chang Runzhi sighed, sat up, suddenly remembered something, and slapped his head suddenly.
"Oops, I actually brought back King Rui's book!"
She put down the first three stories after reading the first three stories, I don't know if she was afraid of seeing King Rui's annotation or why, anyway, she didn't dare to turn over the rest of the story.
What she brought back was "The Story of Cinnamon Branches" that she didn't have time to watch.
At that time, she thought that she hadn't read the book, so she asked Yao Huang to take it.
Later, when I saw Chang Muzhi, I forgot about this stubble to the edge of the sky.
And Yao Huang handed the book to Pan Xia to hold, but the little maid didn't understand it, so she brought it back directly when she returned home.
Chang Runzhi stayed in his shoes and held up the candlestick to see, and sure enough, where the sewing basket was placed in the inner room, "The Story of Cinnamon Branches" was lying there quietly.
The vigil was looking for winter, and when he heard the movement, he hurriedly came in, and timidly asked Chang Runzhi: "What does the girl command?" ”
"It's fine." Chang Runzhi waved his hand and said, "You go outside to rest, I can't sleep, read a book for a while." ”
Xun Dong responded, and felt that it was not good to go like this, so he asked cautiously: "Do you want to prepare tea and snacks for the girl?" ”
"Eating those at night hurts my stomach." Chang Runzhi smiled, looked up at Xun Dong and said, "You cut the candle wick and rest, if there is anything, I will call you." ”
Xun Dong responded happily, and cut the wicks of the burning candles one by one, and then obediently walked out of the inner room.
Chang Runzhi himself wore a thick cotton coat and watched "The Story of Cinnamon Branches" by candlelight.
The content is talking about talented and beautiful women, but compared with "Memories of the Idle Garden", the content of "The Story of Guixiangzhi" is more detailed and rich, and it looks a bit like an opera. The person who wrote this book should be a reader, because it uses a lot of poems and fu, and it is a little astringent to read, but you can feel the charm of poetry. People who don't have two brushes can't write such an article.
Chang Runzhi naturally knew that this was a good article, but she couldn't read it.
As soon as she opened "The Story of Guixiangzhi", she couldn't help but think of "Echoes of Xianting", and then couldn't help but think of the four words written by King Rui.
Slowly.
It's really torture.
Chang Runzhi put down the book and stared at the candlelight in a daze.
I don't know where Ah Tong is, and if he is also on the road at night......
As a result of sleeping late and insomnia, Chang Runzhi woke up on the second day with a very bad complexion.
Yao Huang said worriedly: "I'm going to enter the palace today, the girl's complexion doesn't look very good, isn't she sick?" ”
Xun Dong suddenly shuddered when he heard it, for fear that it was because Chang Runzhi got up in the middle of the night last night, but she didn't serve her well.
"No, I couldn't sleep last night."
Chang Runzhi sat in front of the rhombic glasses with her eyes closed, and was combed by someone, thinking that she would sleep a little longer if she could sleep a little longer.
Until he left the prince's mansion and got into the carriage, Chang Runzhi was still drowsy.
In King Rui's mansion, Chang Muzhi was already waiting with his three sons.
The three little highnesses all saluted Chang Runzhi, and called them aunts.
Chang Runzhi smiled and touched their faces one by one, squinting and yawning.
"Didn't sleep well last night?" Chang Muzhi asked.
The head of the ever-running jaw.
"I'm worried about the ninth brother." Chang Muzhi smiled, and his expression became depressed again.
"It seems that this New Year, the prince can't spend it with our mother and son."
Chang Runzhi pursed his lower lip and said, "I don't have Ah Tong to accompany me, it just so happens that the two of us sisters can keep the New Year together." ”
"That's a good idea."
Chang Muzhi smiled.
It's a big year, the businesses are closed, the school is not teaching, and everyone is waiting for the evening to reunite with their families for the New Year.
King Rui's Mansion was also decorated with lights, but unfortunately there was still no one in the male master at this time.
Chang Muzhi didn't have anything to do, she took her three sons and Chang Runzhi to sit down and gossip.
As he spoke, he talked about the birthday of Emperor Wu on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.
"Ah Tong said that in previous years, he sent calligraphy and paintings, and this year I don't know if I can send something new." Chang Runzhi: "Big sister, do you want to give something to the saint to celebrate his birthday?" ”
"The prince has already thought about it, and the birthday gift is ready." Chang Muzhi said with a smile: "The prince said that the saint is getting older, and the blessing he hopes to get the most is to be evergreen." He asked to send a potted plant of evergreen pine. The potted plant is also made of evergreen pine, and the prince himself engraved the words 'evergreen for ten thousand years' on it. ”
This gift is not expensive, but it is better than the heart, and it is made by King Rui himself, which is of great significance.
Chang Runzhi also felt that this gift was good, and sighed sincerely: "The prince is really ingenious. ”
"What about you?" Chang Muzhi asked her rhetorically: "Have you thought about what birthday gift to give?" ”
Chang Runzhi shook his head: "Ah Tong doesn't have to rely on the birthday gift to fight for face in front of the saint, he asked him to send something new, I thought, as long as it is not the calligraphy and paintings he sent in previous years, it can be regarded as new." ”
Chang Muzhi suddenly laughed: "Then what is your new idea?" ”
"The Holy One is the Lord of the world, what can he lack?" Chang Runzhi sighed: "Sending valuable things is just a good sentence, and then let people move it and put it aside." I'm still decent, so I'll give it something a little more valuable. For example, a small ancient jade carving or something. ”
Chang Muzhi bowed his head and said: "The ancient jade carving is okay, but the implication should be good, don't let people catch the handle." ”
Chang Runzhi smiled: "Big sister, don't worry, I have a sense of proportion." ”
The sisters laughed for a while, and Chang Runzhi took the opportunity to say that he had mistakenly taken the book of the palace yesterday and returned "The Story of Cinnamon Branches".
Chang Muzhi laughed at her and said: "What a person, still so lost." ”
"Yes, fortunately, it was the big sister's things that I took by mistake, otherwise I don't know how it would be arranged."
"You......" Chang Muzhi shook his head helplessly.
The two chatted until noon and had lunch, so they hurriedly changed into the clothes they wanted to wear when entering the palace and prepared to go to the palace.
The three little highnesses also changed into almost identical clothes, one race and one pink carving.
Chang Runzhi looked at the three brothers standing in a row happily, and said with a smile: "Big sister, when the three little highnesses grow up in the future, I don't know how you want to pick a daughter-in-law, don't you have to pick a dazzle?" ”
Chang Muzhi suddenly laughed: "You will make fun of me, you will have a few children earlier, and when the time comes, you can choose your daughter-in-law as much as you want." ”
Laughing all the way, I saw the majestic palace close in front of me.
Chang Runzhi opened the curtain slightly, looked out, and withdrew his hand.
"A lot of horses and carts." Chang Runzhi said softly.
Chang Muzhi nodded: "It's good for you to follow me, don't worry too much." ”
"Hmm." Chang Runzhi nodded. (To be continued.) )
