Chapter 149: The Former Dynasty
The weather is getting colder day by day, the weather in the north is dry and cold, there is often a harsh winter wind, the garden is barren, it looks lifeless, but there is a kind of lonely cold beauty, Jinyu looked at the snow in the courtyard in front of the window, Zhao Ke has been there for more than a month, the winter march is the hardest, Jinyu can't help but feel a little worried. *With *dream* small* say wwwlā
It's just that Zhang Weiwen, who traveled lightly, arrived in Changzhou a few days ago and wrote a letter, at this time, this letter is still on the way, Jinyu naturally doesn't know, at this time she is also thinking about what kind of scenery Zhao Ke will encounter, what difficulties will he encounter, as a woman, she may only be worried in this deep house.
"Miss, go back to the house, it's cold outside." Qingque said, and Qingque was the only one in this deep mansion who could talk to Jinyu.
"Mrs. Jinghui made some desserts and said she would bring them to you." Qingque closed the window and said, a smile appeared on the corner of Jinyu's mouth, and she said, "Take it, thank Shitai on my behalf." ”
It is a plate of delicate and small southern snacks, the faint aroma of osmanthus came, Jinyu pinched a delicate jade rabbit-shaped pastry with her hand, the rabbit pinched extremely cute, and Jinyu was reluctant to eat it.
"Mrs. Jinghui has a pair of skillful hands." Qingque said, Jinyu finally took a bite and felt a salty taste, Jinyu has not had a very good appetite recently, and she doesn't like to eat sweet and greasy things very much.
"It's delicious." Jinyu ate a few more pieces, Qingque saw Jinyu eat several pieces of pastries, and immediately felt very happy, you must know that these days, the princess has eaten very little, and she has lost weight, if the prince comes back, blame it, but what should I do.
Jinyu drank some rice porridge again, and this dinner was very pleasant, so after dinner, I wanted to go to Zhao Ke's study to have a look, Qingque said that Zhao Ke left a lot of interesting books for her in the study to relieve her boredom.
Jinyu didn't look at it all the time, but after a few days, she was a little interested, thinking if there was any interesting book, so Jinyu took Qingque to the study.
Jinyu pushed the door in, the furnishings were simple, and there was a calligraphy and painting hanging in the main hall, and it was written on the left and right, "The gall bottle is obliquely inserted into the four flowers, apricots, peaches, plums, and pears." Hand scroll horizontal batch of a scroll painting, pine, bamboo, plum orchid. ”
There is a beautiful gall bottle on the left, but there is nothing inserted in the gall bottle, Jinyu is a little puzzled, she touched the somewhat cold bottle, the bottle seems to be connected to the base, Jinyu turned the bottle, and a row of bookshelves on the left began to turn.
"What is this?"
"Xu is the prince's surprise to the princess." Jinyu walked in with some confusion, she felt a vague heat in front of her, and at this time she had an unrealistic idea.
Zhao Ke was waiting for her inside, Jinyu smiled bitterly, and threw aside the unrealistic thoughts in her head, and after a long curve, there was a misty hot spring.
"What is this?" Jinyu looked at the exotic woman carved out of marble, who was holding a clay pot with a steady stream of hot springs in it, and Jinyu reached out and touched the water.
"Princess, look?" Only then did Jinyu see clearly that the white mist was surrounded by various flowers and trees, white pear blossoms, pink and white apricot blossoms, and delicate peach blossoms.
"The prince said that if the princess is in a bad mood, let the slave maid bring you here." Qingque said with a smile, Jinyu didn't know how to feel in her heart at this time, she always felt that these things were unusual.
Jinling Zhangjia, Jinling Academy and the just-completed palace all have such a strange statue.
"Isn't Miss upset?" Qingque asked, Jinyu shook her head, and said, "I think it's really a great thing that there are so many flowers blooming in this winter. ”
"It is said that the nobles of the previous dynasty all liked to bring hot springs at home, yes, it is like spring all year round, but in this dynasty, that kind of technology is lost, and it is rare for His Highness to have a heart."
Jinyu laid a gorgeous peach blossom and said, "Let's go out." ”
After the two came out, Jinyu took Qingque out, saying that she wanted to read books in the study, Jinyu stood beside the rows of bookshelves, looking at the books that had been marked, mostly miscellaneous anthologies, marked in many places, and occasionally there would be a message for her.
When reading a miscellaneous note about the inkstone, Zhao Ke also specially marked out that he did not use the special material inkstone in the study for Jinyu, and there was also a book about the miscellaneous talk of the capital, and it was also written on the page of the astronomical miscellaneous book that Jinyu should pay attention to keeping warm, but do not use silver silk carbon all night.
No wonder he always stayed overnight in the study for a while before he left.
Jinyu was holding a book, feeling as if she was holding Zhao Ke.
She subconsciously looked at the strange couplet, the gall bottle obliquely inserted four flowers, apricots, peaches, plums, pears. Hand scroll horizontal batch of a scroll painting, pine, bamboo, plum orchid. Apricot peach and plum pear, Jinyu pushed the gall bottle and entered the somewhat abnormal compartment, which was still foggy and full of flowers and trees, but there were no plum trees.
The royal family of the previous dynasty was Li, a trace of sweat appeared on Jinyu's head, she hurriedly walked out, Zhao Ke had no reason to let her know this kind of thing, could it be that this Zhao Ke really has anything to do with the previous dynasty.
She was silent in the study, there was a charcoal fire burning in the study, it was not too cold, but after all, it was less popular, so it was a little cold, so Jinyu took a miscellaneous book of the previous dynasty, called Qingque, and went back to her yard.
At night, it began to snow outside the window, and the green finch looked outside, and then complained: "Why is it always snowing, it is cold enough." ”
Jinyu smiled helplessly, the little thing was running around the house but a little more angry, Lianxiang made the bed for Jinyu, put a stove, and Jinyu after washing was half-lying on the bed and held the biography of the previous dynasty in his hand.
The previous dynasty was a very magnificent dynasty, the beautiful era that had appeared in the prosperous era of Hongjin, the prosperous era of Hongjin described in the book, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment at night, the frontier was peaceful and all countries came to the dynasty, poets and children came out in large numbers, literature and art were unprecedentedly prosperous, and it was really called the word "prosperous era", but such a prosperous era came to an abrupt end after just a few decades.
There are different opinions about what happened during this period.
The princes of the Hongjin Emperor were killed and wounded in the extremely cruel battle for succession, and the whole country was weakened by this war without the smoke of gunpowder.
In addition, the catastrophe in the last years of the previous dynasty, the peasant uprising, the restlessness of the frontier, the destruction of the previous dynasty, and the birth of the Great Zhou. The biography in Jinyu's hand is not the same as what Jinyu saw before, and it did not write about those war disasters, but started with a woman, carefully describing the reasons for the demise of the previous dynasty, and after Jinyu read it, she broke out in a cold sweat.
