One hundred and thirty-nine. Winter
In the winter of the first year of Longqing, it was particularly early. By mid-September, however, the lead-gray canopy was already covered with heavy snow clouds.
Early in the morning of the fifteenth, the sky was even darker, and the rustling cold wind wrapped in fine snow particles, crackling on Qin Nanxi's brand-new azure cloud satin cloak. The needle-like snow beads pierced into the snow fox wind hair on her neckline, and as soon as the cold wind passed, the snow beads pounced on her face with the soft wind hair, and the ice needles pierced the cold pain.
Instinctively shrunk his neck, Qin Nanxi hurriedly went up to the car waiting at the back door. Today is the fifteenth, no matter how heavy the wind and snow are, she will definitely go to Tsz Yun Temple to pray for her sick father.
"On a cold day, if you have to wear such a cold color, everyone who looks at it will feel cold in their hearts!" Xiao Fei followed closely behind Qin Nanxi, and the whole person shrank in the water red gorilla felt cloak, and did not forget to complain.
Qin Nanxi smiled apologetically, turned around and helped her to get into the car and sit down, and handed the small hand stove in his hand to her, deliberately bypassing it: "Qin Mansion is not as good as before, and now except for very auspicious days, it is definitely impossible to get the rewards from the palace." It's rare that the concubine has rewarded my family with such good clothes, so I naturally have to wear them from time to time. β
Xiao Fei took the hand stove, shrunk into a ball, and said with a smile: "Then Concubine Xiao has rewarded so many clothes, how beautiful the flowers are." It's good for you to pick out the color of these azure horses, and seeing that it is winter, these materials are made of winter clothes, and they look cold. β
Qin Nanxi was silent when she heard this, and her slender and soft white fingers caressed the cloak that fell on her knees. Fingertips silently swiped over the delicate texture of cloud satin. At this time, outside the car window, there was a gray sky light faintly cast in, thinly spread on her knees, soft and delicate satin, after a streamer folded, that day was blue, and suddenly brightened, as if it was the autumn sun that had been washed in the clear stream, clear and pure, but also cold into the marrow.
"This azure is the most popular color in the world, isn't it?" Qin Nanxi's voice was as low as a dream, and his thoughts fell before the Duanyang Festival in the ninth year of Shaoping. On that day, when I saw the azure figure in the mountain tower, I was already immersed in my heart.
Xiao Fei didn't know what happened two years ago, and she didn't know that she was so silently worried about herself, so she only shook her head and said: "The people in your family are really weird!" Your father is such a gentle and kind person, and he is so glorious for a collar jacket! Your brother is even more eccentric, no matter how much your father ignores him on weekdays, I have never seen him care. Yesterday was good, but I knelt in the snow all night! And your sister-in-law, who is obviously thin, has been with your brother all night. Just for a few clothes, your chickens and dogs jumped for two days! β
Qin Nanxi pursed her lips and was silent, Xiaofei was simple, where could she understand that there were too many twists and turns in the "chicken, flying, dog jumping" at home in the past two days.
Since the new emperor ascended the throne, the Qin family has been set up in the clouds. Qin Zi'an is the leader of the world's scholars, but fortunately he was not involved in the abolition of the prince. But as the abolished prince and the prince, he was also a major subject of the previous dynasty, so when the new emperor ascended the throne, he only still received the embarrassing title of the prince and the prince, and he recuperated in his own house for a long time. Although Qin Nanfu had helped the new emperor imprison Situ Yi, on the night of the enthronement pawn, Situ Yi also escaped in the hands of Qin Nanfu. Therefore, Qin Nanfu has no reward or punishment, and is still in the office of the Zhongshu people. And Qin Zi'an's protΓ©gΓ© disciples, after being transferred by a ** official raised by Uncle Xiao Guo, were mostly demoted to foreign posts. Nowadays, most of the important positions in the DPRK and China are new faces promoted by the Xiao Party or the new emperor.
The Qin family is walking on thin ice, and Qin Nanfu has been instructed by Prince Changping to maintain the Qin family. Qin Zi'an was full of resentment, thinking that his son was his own selfishness, and he was sincerely obedient to the new emperor Zhou Huan, who killed his father and killed the king, so he was very dissatisfied with his son.
Regarding the sudden reward of Concubine Xiao a month ago, Qin Zi'an couldn't understand it for a while, and after receiving the order to thank him, he ordered his family to put it on the shelf and not be allowed to use it. But Qin Nanfu changed his previous attitude towards his father's orders and distributed all the rewards one by one. It was especially sent to Qin Nanxi the most. After Qin Zi'an found out, he was so angry that the father and son didn't know what to say in the room. Qin Nanfu knelt in the snow when he got out of the door, and knelt in a daze all night. Xiao Luomei begged her father-in-law to no avail, so she stayed by Qin Nanfu's side, and she stayed with her all night......
Retracting his complicated thoughts, Qin Nanxi looked out of the car through the narrow curtain. The snow was much heavier, and the snow flakes were wrapped in the wind, and they rolled densely from the sky, and the snow on the ground deepened. On both sides of the official road, beside the roots of the dead trees, groups of homeless people can be seen from time to time, some huddled together, gathered under the trees to keep warm with each other. Some of them helped the old and the young, stumbling forward blankly, and behind them, only a string of deep and shallow footprints of different sizes remained.
Xiao Fei glanced out of the car with Qin Nanxi's gaze, and couldn't help but sympathize: "I heard that these people are all displaced people from the Yanzhou River, poor people with children and daughters, in such a cold and freezing cold, I don't know how much I will starve to death and freeze to death!" Hey, speaking of which, this year is really a bad year, there are disasters everywhere, first Xuzhou, Jingzhou drought, and in autumn is Yanzhou River disaster. Pity these people, they are already hard, and now they have no food and clothing! β
Qin Nanxi nodded sadly and sighed: "Natural disaster**, it is only the people who suffer after all!" β
Xiao Fei said: "It's a pity that the current emperor is not like the previous emperor Rende, knowing that the people are hard, he even took out the money for repairing his own garden and distributed it to the families who suffered from the flood." Hey, this new emperor doesn't listen to what the children sing on the road, and only cares about hiding in the palace to enjoy themselves! β
Qin Nanxi was powerless to explain to Xiaofei those edicts of sin, as well as a drop in the bucket of disaster relief money and food, in fact, they were just the emperor's tricks to win the hearts of the people and stabilize the world. Only smiled faintly and asked, "What did you hear again?" β
Seeing that she was interested, Xiao Fei leaned over and said, "Do you remember the nursery rhyme you taught me?" Just that kind of local official, strong beam, too liquid pool, blue sea light or something, just that one! β
Qin Nanxi's heart trembled slightly, and he said lightly: "Remember." β
Xiao Fei said again: "That nursery rhyme is now all over the streets and alleys!" Speaking of this, Xiao Fei suddenly paused, squinted and looked out of the car vigilantly, before turning around, lowering his voice and continuing: "Say, in fact, today is not the real man at all!" He plotted to seize the throne, and then drove his benevolent and forgiving brothers to the frontier to suffer. He went against the sky and rebelled against morality like this, so the emperor sent down such a calamity warning. Some people also say that there was a strange omen in northern Xinjiang a few days ago, and there were emperors and auspicious clouds for a few days in a row, so ah, everyone said......"
"It is said that the innocent Prince Changping, who was relegated to the frontier and suffered, is the crown prince appointed by the previous emperor and the true son of heaven?" Qin Nanxi was cold, and the smile on the corner of his lips seemed to be the cold wind outside the car.
Xiao Fei glared and said, "How do you know?" β
Qin Nanxi snorted coldly, closed her eyes weakly, how could she not know?
"The earth official is a strong beam, Zhang Tong bows, Qiankun is cool, and the Taiye pool is yellow.
Heng Canglang, Nanmu Xiang, Dianer Wang, Tian Di, Bai Yu Bridge Column Chong Purple Light. β
This strange nursery rhyme was taught to Mr. Su by holding her hand before the accident, and told her to tell Su Xu in person. When it first spread in the community, it was only half of what it was thirty years ago. It was just the current new emperor, that is, Zhou Huan, the king of Changning County at that time, who sent someone to deliberately spread it. It is intended to allege that Situ Yi supports his own army and intends to rebel. I want to borrow the hand of the first emperor, except for Situ Yi's big trouble.
Later, Situ Yi was imprisoned, and in order to delay Zhou Huan from killing Situ Yi, Qin Nanxi deliberately added a nursery rhyme to himself and passed it to Liu Qi, which became the one that is now circulating:
"The earth official is a strong beam, Zhang Tong bows, Qiankun is cool, and the Taiye pool is yellow.
Dian'er Wang, Tiandi, Northwest Fall, Blue Sea Light, Yunjia Water Geding Zihuan. β
Now, this unrecognizable nursery rhyme, as well as the drought in Jingxu and the Yanzhou River, have all become a help for Prince Changping to win the hearts of the people. Secretly shook his head and sighed bitterly, Prince Changping's "yellow sparrow" is really a powerful character
The snow beads swept across the carriage, and the suppressed low sobs of the homeless people on the official road became weaker and weaker, melted into the sound of wind and snow, and adhered to the bell of Ciyun Temple in the distance, making people unable to tell the muffled sound for a while, whether it was mercy or sadness?
