Extra four: Luofu, midsummer lotus pond
readx;?♂,
The weather in June, it is the scorching heat of midsummer, the sun is dizzy, the lotus pond is cool and the breeze gusts, the lotus leaves that grow dense are fat and green, such as the umbrella pouring canopy, and can not cover the full lotus arrows that are ready to go, which is more embellished with thousands of blooming lotus flowers, pink and white, light red, dark red, elegant and beautiful like a fairy, the three-layer water pavilion that extends straight to the lake is surrounded by this thick emerald and delicate red, just like the Lang Pavilion of Wonderland, beautiful. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
On the second floor of the water pavilion, the large open window, the beautiful scenery is in the bottom of the eye, Ye is holding the fine hand to focus on the painting, on the table rice paper, the lotus flowers are vivid and delicate, and the lotus leaves and fields seem to be swaying with the wind, which shows that her painting skills are extraordinary.
On the side of the desk, Luo Song stood with his hands in his hands, and he was holding a half-turned military book in his back hand, he had sat for a long time and got up and walked, but he was attracted by Ye's paintings, and couldn't help but admire: "Madame's painting skills are so exquisite, comparable to everyone!" ”
Ye Shiwan smiled: "Thank you for your compliment!" When I was my wife, I studied under Mr. Neem, and my husband also said that he had a good talent for his wife, and if he could devote himself to practice, he would become everyone in the future! It's a pity ......"
"Madame! Oh, ma'am, oh! A servant woman swooped up from a wooden ladder, and her rough panting could be heard from afar.
Luo Song scolded: "What kind of system is shouting? ”
The servant woman came up and saw Luo Song, and smirked: "It turns out that the master is here, why aren't you in the front yard?" No wonder I can't find you in the front yard! ”
Luo Song was so angry that he couldn't say anything: Where is Master Ben, I still have to report to you?
Ye Shi frowned: Leaving such a person by her side, she is also helpless, who called this Qi lady the only daughter of her nurse? The nurse treats her like a mountain, and before she died, she specially entrusted her to take care of the widowed nurse sister no matter what, this Qi lady grew up in the village since she was a child, she is a big-mouthed troublemaker, and she never stops when she puts it elsewhere, Ye wants to let her stay under her nose, not only gives her dignity, but also relieves her from time to time, pointing and pointing her, who knows where the cow is still a cow, so long, Qi Niangzi has been taught repeatedly! It's also annoying, it seems that I still have to find another suitable place to place her!
"What's the matter?" Ye put down the pen and asked.
Qi Niangzi hurriedly replied: "It's our Fifth Master Ning, and the three people in the house over there were beaten into black blind people, and they came back crying!" ”
"Bastard thing!" Luo Song couldn't bear it anymore, and said angrily: "What is the mansion over there?" Can't you tell the difference between the east and the west? How many times have I said that it is the big bear and not the black blind man! Are you here today? I can't even say a word, what's the use of leaving you? ”
Seeing that Qi Niang still wanted to open her mouth to argue, Ye Shi hurriedly waved her hand to stop her, and just downstairs there was a maid and a mother-in-law, all panting, full of urgency, the mother-in-law grabbed Qi Niangzi, the maid was Ye's personal big girl Perilla, and gave a salute to Luo Song and Ye, and said unsteadily: "Slaves, slaves and maids are sitting in the shade of the willows over there, this, this Sister Qi ran too fast, and she broke in if she was not careful, and she couldn't catch up!" Disturbing the old lady, it is a dereliction of duty of the slave and maid, please punish the old lady! ”
Ye said: "That's it! Has the fifth master come back from Dongfu? What's wrong? ”
"Mrs. Hui: The fifth master came back from Dongfu, and the three young masters followed, they first went to Yan'an Hall to greet the old lady, and just now Yan'an Tang's mother Chen came to say that the old lady rewarded them with dim sum, and after eating dim sum, they came to see the lord and Mrs. The fifth master is hanging flowers again in the martial arts training ground today, the right eye socket is blue and black, and the corner of the left mouth is red and swollen......"
Ye Shi took a light breath, and Luo Song scolded angrily: "A few stinky boys, I don't have a serious start, come over in a while, see how I clean them up!" ”
"Eh, how can you blame them? The old man also used to say that it is better to be injured by his own people on the martial arts training ground than to be killed by the enemy on the battlefield! Besides, every time their uncle and nephew were injured, the real daughter-in-law personally inspected it, and with good medicine, it would heal in three days without leaving a scar, and there would be no major problems. ”
Ye said, signaled Zisu to lead the mother-in-law and Qi Niangzi to retreat, and he stepped forward and pulled Luo Song to sit down on the bamboo couch of Concubine Xiang, and said softly:
"When they come over in a while, you can't lose your temper, you also know, I like those children, in order to coax the little ancestors, it took a lot of effort!"
Luo Song snorted lightly and hugged Ye's plump waist: "Others only say that I am really old and frail, what is the truth, you know very well, I am not inferior to those men in their twenties and thirties!" You are young, and you like dolls so much, let's give birth, regenerate him ten or eight, how good is it to be lively, why bother to control yourself, take that Rausch child avoidance medicine? ”
Ye raised his hand and gently stroked Luo Song's cheek, and said with a smile: "I have a husband, a son and a daughter, my heart is only enough to be divided into three parts, two for children and one for the father, this life is just right!" If I have a few more children, it will be lively, but as far as I am a mother-in-law, I only have one heart, my energy is limited, my heart is not enough, and I can't treat everyone equally, so I will say that I am partial, and my children will be separated from me, and they will become all kinds of temperaments that I am not familiar with or do not want to see...... So why bother? ”
Luo Song frowned: "Where did you hear this strange theory?" ”
Ye smiled: "The last time I held a flower banquet in Dongfu, I went to help entertain guests, and I happened to hear the real daughter-in-law talking to Fang Er's grandmother about this, I think it makes a lot of sense." Aren't you surprised how your real daughter-in-law never got pregnant after giving birth to these three grandchildren? She won't have any more! I still asked her for the child avoidance pill I ate, she is an ancient recipe, the medicine is good, and it also nourishes the body! ”
Luo Song glared: "What? Real daughter-in-law she ...... How could she be justified! If she doesn't give birth to an heir to my Luo family, what is the use of her as a woman? ”
"Sir!" Ye Shi hurriedly covered Luo Song's mouth and said angrily: "What are you doing so loudly? Spread the word, how else can I be a person? ”
"That's what I'm talking about, what's the matter with you?"
"Although there are more than one or two people who know that the real daughter-in-law takes child-avoiding medicine, but I am your pillow person, and the real daughter-in-law trusts me so that she does not avoid suspicion, but you shout out, and you have to blame her...... Didn't make her hate me! ”
Luo Song looked at Ye Shi and sighed slightly: "You are also her mother-in-law, why should you be afraid of her?" If I hadn't listened to my father's words that day and resigned as the son of the world under the pretext of poor health, how could she follow Zhen'er today and inherit the title of Duke Cheng Guo and Duchess of Guo? They should be grateful to us and Ning'er! ”
"No, sir, I don't think so now!"
Ye Shi said seriously: "In the past, when the Jin family was here, I really wanted to fight for breath, and I had some ideas. Now, I feel like I've got what I wanted, and it's time to be content! As the saying goes, there are gains and losses, the lord used a son position in exchange for the position of my stepwife, our Ning'er and Yun'er will not bear the status of concubines and concubines, just this benefit, I have already dreamed of laughing out loud! If the lord sticks to the throne of the world, even if the old prince retreats and gives up the title, and you inherit it, then our mother and son will not be able to get on the stage - the Jin family is already a concubine, and if you help me again, what face do you have to stand in the world? So the situation couldn't be better! Lord's love for me and a pair of children should be engraved in my heart, and I am willing to repay him for the rest of my life! ”
Luo Song took Ye Shi into his arms and closed his eyes: "The dead are gone, and the living ones are strangers when I am a stranger...... Now I only have you, Ning'er, and Yun'er, you are my life, I can only do my best not to make you wronged! ”
"Master, we are not wronged! Our family is very happy! ”
Ye Shi fell into Luo Song's arms, and closed his eyes with a smile: How could he be wronged? She is just a concubine, she doesn't need to go through intrigue and fight for me, she has the position of the main room, her children are descendants, and she has such a happy and happy day, fortunately, it's too late!
At the age of fifteen or sixteen, the family suffered an accident, she took on the burden as the eldest sister, and married Luo Song at the age of twenty-five. I don't dare to think that I can be promoted to the wife's room, and my children will become concubines!
In the Chengguo Mansion and in Luo Song's world, she is a latecomer, she has no foundation or even a decent identity, what can she do to compete for interests with the people in front of her?
Fortunately, she was still a little lucky, she gave birth to a son, and two years later gave birth to a daughter, Luo Song lost the five children born with the Jin family, Luo Zhen ignored him in the second room, Luo Song then poured all his energy into her mother and son, and under the half-pressure and half-persuasion of Mrs. Luo, she exchanged the position of the son for the bright future of the mother and son!
What if you don't be a national prince? Luo Song also has other merits, a first-class general to protect the country, but he fought the battlefield! From then on, she Ye is not only the dignified Mrs. Luo San, but also the general's wife, a good order! Her sons and daughters are noble sons and daughters!
When the Ye family saw Luo Zhen looking at Luo Ning with his eyes for the first time in the ancestral hall, the little Luo Ning had no timidity, held his head high, held a pillar of incense in his hand, and stood beside Luo Zhen confidently...... Ye covered his mouth and almost cried bitterly!
Only the son-in-law can stand in the front row and go to the ancestral tablet to incense!
At that moment, Ye fully realized the pride and happiness of being a mother!
Compared with the heirs of the Luo family who were sent out of Beijing by Mrs. Luo and finally all died outside, how lucky his son is!
Therefore, for Luo Song's unwilling position as the prince of Chengguo, the Ye family has no attachment at all, and always explains with good words, distracting him from his depression with tenderness and sweetness.
She remembered her grandmother's teachings: people, if they are content and happy, they will always have joy with them!
Grandmother is so right!
Soon after, the old lady made a drastic move and divided the Chengguo Mansion: the eldest lady Zheng died of grief due to Luo Fang's death, and the little Zheng family was willing to return, and the Guogong Mansion presented a rich property, and sent it back to the Zheng Mansion with documents;
Chengguo Mansion is divided into two, the East Mansion is large, the West Mansion is small, the East Mansion is still the Chengguo Mansion, the West Mansion opens another door, it is the "Protector General" Mansion, the three-room Luo Song takes his mother, wife and children to live in the West Mansion, and the East Mansion is naturally the Chengguo Mansion where the Duke lives.
Luo Song resigned from the throne on the grounds of poor health, and the old Chengguo Duke only divided the Guogong Mansion into two, which is equivalent to telling the world: Luo Zhen, the second room, will inherit the title of Duke of Chengguo!
Sure enough, the old Duke of Chengguo went to the table one after another, asking Luo Zhen to be the prince of Chengguo, and then on the grounds of old age and decrepitude, he directly gave Luo Zhen the title of Duke of Chengguo!
The emperor soon issued two decrees: Luo Zhen's youngest son, Luo Shaozi, succeeded his father and became the Marquis of Baoding; Luo Zhen inherited the ancestral title, for the Duke of Chengguo, the eldest son Luo Yu, for the prince of Chengguo!
Knowing this result, Luo Song was still full of bitterness: he was a prince in his twenties, until he was nearly fifty years old, and once he took the throne of the prince, and in a blink of an eye, the title of duke of the country was sent to Luo Zhen...... In this way, the name of a lifetime becomes a lifetime of inaction! (To be continued.) )
