Chapter Twenty-Five: I Don't Even Bother to Do the Means
In the early summer, Xia Shaoyuan was in the pavilion on the rockery early in the morning, put aside the bamboo couch, prepared a book case, and the Qingxi stone inkstone on the case, and the bamboo ink was fragrant.
On the sunny side of the pavilion is a large cluster of peony flowers more than one person high, and the peony of the big leaf mountain is in bloom in the big ~ piece ~ piece, and it blooms brilliantly, like a gable. The milky petals have a slight red thread on them, which is the precious champion crying blood. Because it likes to grow between mountains and rocks, and has extremely strict requirements for water, even if it has this high-grade peony, it is not easy to feed.
And the Xia family's champion weeping blood was given by the emperor of the previous dynasty during his reign, and the Xia family spent a lot of money to invite several peony gardeners to concentrate on serving, which has grown into today's scale.
The other side of the pavilion faces a lotus pond full of green leaves, and the surface of the pool is sparkling and breezy at this time.
Xia Shaoyuan only felt that the depression of the past few days seemed to have dissipated a lot.
To say that Xia Shaoyuan has had a lot of bad things recently, he was first calculated by a little girl, and was almost impeached by the imperial history, and then he was called by his father to talk and said that he was preparing for marriage.
Thinking that he was about to go in and out with that poisonous woman, and get married, not only did he have to live in the same room at night, but he also had to lie in one place after a hundred years, Xia Shaoyuan couldn't say how disgusted he was from his heart.
Everyone said that the cave room spent candle nights, and when the gold list was titled, Xia Shaoyuan felt that the marriage period was like a prison sentence, which made him eager to pull a fast horse to escape from this cage, even if he wandered the world from now on, it was better than getting along with a vicious woman for a lifetime.
However, his father seemed to anticipate his plan, not only did he collect his money, but he was also guarded by special servants when he usually entered and exited the Hanlin Academy, and he had to go home immediately after leaving the yamen.
Xia Shaoyuan was really full of depression, but he still had to cheer up and write a birthday post.
Xia Shaoyuan breathed a long sigh of relief, took out an iced sake from the ice bucket on the side, drank it all in one gulp, and then sank down, slowly spread out a piece of red Chengxin paper, condensed, and wrote a thick ink and a comfortable body of longevity, and then wrote two lines of wild grass:
Good is like water
Longevity is endless
After writing it, he looked at it for a long time, smiled mockingly, and picked it up and put it on the drying rack aside. When this word is dry and sealed, no matter how good it is framed with high-quality ancient brocade, it can be regarded as a gift that can be handled.
As the youngest bachelor in Hanlin Academy, Xia Shaoyuan's words are also hard to find. It's just that Xia Shaoyuan has a bit of a quirk in writing, and he will destroy it if he is not satisfied, so there are not many words that have been circulated, and it has made Xia Shaoyuan's reputation even more famous.
It's just that this time, Qiao Ge's old birthday banquet named Xia Shaoyuan's word appreciation, and Xia Shaoyuan had to cheer up and plan to write a few. Because I seem to be restless recently, I tried a few times, but what I wrote was unsightly, so I took advantage of the rest today to prepare in the pavilion early, and planned to write out the gift to the old man calmly.
Just after I picked up the pen and wrote a few words, I suddenly caught a glimpse of a maid with a raw face and Chu Feifei appearing under the rockery together.
Xia Shaoyuan was slightly stunned, and then a faint sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
This dead girl's injuries had already healed, and she dared to die not to see him, and when he went to Ruiyuan to ask the old lady for peace, he avoided him, and he didn't even show up for tea.
Xia Shaoyuan sneered again and again, what did she think was the benefit of carrying her like this? At best, it's just a dying struggle, dead left and right, and there may still be a glimmer of life with him, why can't this dead girl see it? What about the cleverness with which he calculated? Are they all called dogs to eat?
Xia Shaoyuan watched Chu Feifei and the maid enter the ice cellar, snorted coldly, looked down at his words, what he wanted to write was a chrysanthemum, "Dark and faint purple, melt and smelt yellow" At this time, the meaning of the pen has been broken, and when he writes again, the hook painting that should be indifferent and elegant is a little more angry.
Xia Shaoyuan snorted coldly, threw his pen on the case, and a good word was destroyed in the ink, like a cloud of black mud on the spring shirt of a white-clothed Xiushi, dazzling and sullen.
At this time, it was almost noon, although the pavilion was shaded by peony flowers, and facing the pond, the breeze was cool, but it couldn't stop the fire in Xia Shaoyuan's heart.
The Xia family and the two dynasties of the state minister, it sounds like it is very glorious, but in fact, behind the scenes, who does not say that the minister of the state has good means, a good mind, and a traitor to seek glory, and finally won the glory and wealth.
The first emperor and the first queen lived and died with the country, and were forced to die by the rebels on the temple of light.
However, Xia Xiangguo and a few courtiers did not suffer the immediate losses, and bowed their heads to the new emperor who came later.
The new emperor ignored his previous suspicions, but still kept Xia Xiangguo's official position, and those who surrendered were also rewarded, but the heavier the reward, the more ruthless the slap in the face.
The words "betraying the lord and seeking glory" pressed Xia Xiangguo to be only forty years old, and he was already old.
And Xia Shaoyuan was in the Hanlin Academy, but he was actually not less excluded by the older generation.
However, who knows the bitter water of their Xia family, if it was not for their father's hatred and kneeling, how could they keep the last bit of blood of the emperor?
's father sacrificed his name for a lifetime, and in the end, he may have to carry the infamy of treason, while he, Xia Shaoyuan, has to sacrifice the happiness of his life, just for the princess of the old dynasty.
Xia Shaoyuan, the princess of the old dynasty, gritted her teeth and sneered, such a poisonous and jealous woman, she was really ashamed of her noble bloodline! Not to mention whether it can be achieved in the end, even if it can be done, such a cruel and vicious woman is the emperor, it is really not a blessing for all the people!
The more Xia Shaoyuan thought about it, the more agitated he became, and the iced ice wine made him eat a few more cigarettes, and he was a little lazy for a while, so he had to hold on to the pavilion pillar and let the cool breeze blow the wine.
The maidservant standing in the distance came up and asked if she needed to be served. was driven away by Xia Shaoyuan angrily: "Let me go far, don't call me and don't come over!" "The maids in Mingyuan all knew that Xia Shaoyuan didn't like women to be close, so they all stood far away and waited, and when they saw that Xia Shaoyuan was in a bad mood, they stood farther away. For a while, on the rockery, only Xia Shaoyuan was left.
Xia Shaoyuan stood for a while, feeling that the smell of wine seemed to have gone away, so he planned to finish the rest of the words quickly, so that he could make a good deal.
I didn't want to see it, but I saw that the maid with a raw face hurriedly walked out of the cave under the rockery, and then quickly disappeared into the flower path.
Xia Shaoyuan stood tall, saw far away, squinted and saw clearly that the girl had entered the courtyard of Zhuyuan wearing flowers and willows.
remembered that Chu Feifei went in with her before, but did not come out together, and the maid's behavior looked so suspicious
Xia Shaoyuan suddenly realized, it seems that he has done a little too much recently, and the poisonous woman didn't even bother to do the means, and directly wanted to take the girl's life
