Chapter Ninety-Three: The Smoke and Rain of Old Friendship Lost in the Sky
Zheng said: "The noble man is now the lord of the palace, if this position is handed over to others, how can he be willing, the old slave brought up the young lady from a young age, and is like a mother and daughter, if you say that you are close, it is not worse than your wife." I've already thought about it, this back and forth in and out of the palace gate, it is the waist card of the nobleman, others don't dare to ask, it is to ask, only say that it is the medicine that the old body takes, and he wants to kill the head and kill the old man alone. ”
Deng clapped her hands, "Why do you need so much Li'er?" Being a nobleman and taking charge of the harem is already a great grace. Now that he has entered the harem, the emperor, the three palaces and six courtyards are indispensable, and Li'er should also learn to be indifferent. ”
"Madam, you don't understand, the battle of the harem is not something that you can retreat from if you don't fight, the nobles have restrained their minds compared to the time in the house, and those lonely people are not the same aggressive. If the nobles give in to everything, it is difficult to guarantee that they will be bullied, trampled on their feet, and if they don't get it right, it will be Song Jun's fate. ”
Deng sighed, "Li'er has this temperament, when she was at home, I taught her to be taoguang and obscure, and learn to retreat in everything. But now it seems that there is still no growth, it's just that, you go back to the palace first, I will ask people to go to the people to find some home remedies, I hope nothing will happen. ”
Since Liu Qing got married and married Zuo Da'e, after Zuo Xiao'e, he knew that he had no face to see Deng Sui again, so he simply didn't go again. Although Sui'er wanted to cut off her attachment to him, he suddenly stopped appearing, and the sadness in his heart was indescribable. The very little food that I already eat is even less pitiful. Zhao Yu saw that she was getting thinner and thinner, and the plain white dress was worn on her body, but it didn't seem to be hers, it seemed that a gust of wind would blow her away, and she was distressed, but it was useless to persuade her, so she had to sigh every day.
Li Xia often goes to the capital, and he already knows about Liu Qing's wedding, but he is afraid that he will be even more sad if he talks about Sui'er. Second, I was afraid that she wouldn't be able to think about anything, so she had to hide it. But seeing her like this, she was also anxious, so she had to say: "Sui'er, I have heard that the prince of Qinghe has been given marriage by the emperor and married a second wife in one day." In Beijing, it is a beautiful talk. I see you're still thinking about it, okay! ”
Deng Sui listened and frowned slightly. As if inadvertently, he said: "It's okay, whether he gets married or not, for Sui'er." It doesn't matter anymore, I'm going to enter the palace sooner or later. He is like this, but it is good. ”
When he raised his head, he saw Zhao Yu looking at him in a daze, while Li Xia looked strange, and his face suddenly became hot. "What I said is true, Sui'er has told King Qinghe a few times, so that he has broken his mind about me. How could I not think about it? Don't worry about it, I'm fine. It's really nothing! The more she spoke, the quieter her voice became, and her eyes were wet with tears, and she turned her head away and secretly wiped away her tears.
Li Xia pulled Zhao Yu, and the two of them went out of the shed, "Yu'er, let her be quiet by herself, this kind of thing can only be figured out by herself." ”
After the two went out, the air was quiet, and the sound of the wind blowing through the leaves outside could be clearly heard, Sui'er wiped her eyes, but the tears still flowed down again, and she touched the jade on her waist, the jade was still warm and cool, but he had already married. How can you blame him, he asked him to leave, he wanted to leave him, he had to marry into the palace, so he couldn't stay with him, how could he blame him? But in his heart, he was angry that he threw himself away and married another, that is, he was angry that he no longer came to say goodbye to himself, and he was angry that he didn't even say a word.
She opened the "Book of Songs" and saw that "the worries of the heart are like bandits." Quiet words and thoughts, you can't fly. A sentence, not only smiled bitterly, but also seemed to understand her mind, and read lightly in her mouth: "Jiang Youbian, the son returns, not me." I don't think so, and I regret it later. ”
A few days later, Li Xia suddenly shouted at the door and said, "Sui'er, come out and see, who is coming?" ”
In fact, Sui'er has been filial piety for a year and can already go out to welcome guests. Hearing this, he was suddenly stunned, opened the curtain, and saw a young man standing outside the door. A military uniform, tanned skin, shining bright, a pair of dazzling black eyes, a smile like a crescent moon, a really straight nose bridge, lips scarlet, just a little thin, but sharp edges, the body has been nine feet, tall and mighty.
was stunned and recognized that it was Zuo Fei, who later changed his name to Zuo Tianqi, and was the boy she saved. When he returned to Beijing, Zuo Tianqi stayed in Hudi to take care of Deng Xun, and now he has been farewell, it has been more than two years, but he didn't expect him to grow into such a tall and handsome young man, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed, "Zuo Tianqi, it's you!" How can it be you, I'm afraid that in a few years, Sui'er won't be able to recognize it. ”
Zuo Tianqi looked at Deng Sui, dressed in a plain white skirt, lazily combed a hanging bun at the back, only tied with a white ribbon, because there was no sunlight, the complexion was almost transparent, the beautiful big eyes were bigger due to thinness, the long eyelashes flickered, and the appearance did not change much, but it grew taller!
"Miss!" Zuo Tianqi gave a salute, his eyes were full of concern, "I haven't seen you for two years, how can Miss be so thin!" ”
Deng Sui smiled, and like the little girl back then, he took his hand and said: "Brother Tianqi, Sui'er is fine, but she eats less, this day of filial piety deserves to be so." Come, come in and sit down, and the Father's spiritual seat is in it. She pulled Zuo Tianqi into the shed, and after Zuo Tianqi worshiped Deng Xun, he sat down and said: "After this farewell, the personnel are consumed, and I don't want to change so much." ”
"yes!" Deng Sui took the water handed over by Zhao Yu and sent it to Zuo Tianqi, "Brother Tianqi, I keep filial piety, I don't have tea, I only drink water, you are not strange." ”
Zuo Tianqi smiled, "Miss, Tianqi was saved by you, don't care about this, you just give me muddy water, and Tianqi will drink it correctly." Zhao Yu and Li Xia also squeezed in, and for a while, the small shed was full, but everyone had a smile on their faces.
"Tianqi has now been promoted to the general of the fifth grade, but he is not the hairy boy back then." Li Xia said with a smile.
"Oh? Brother Tianqi has been promoted? Sui'er rolled a pair of big smart eyes, tilted her head and said with a smile.
"What kind of official is promoted, this time I will go to Beijing to report on my work, and I don't know what the emperor is going to do!" Zuo Tianqi scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly.
"I heard that most of the officials who went to Beijing to report on their work were promoted to the capital, and it would be good if they could stay in Beijing this time, and we would be able to meet often in the future. Think about the days in Hudi before, it's really free! Zhao Yu held his cheeks with a look of fascination.
Sui'er smiled: "Just follow this, our brother Tianqi will definitely get the emperor's trust and love." ”
Li Xia patted Zuo Tianqi and said, "Say goodbye last time." How is the adult's cemetery now? ”
This sentence made Deng Sui's heart heavy again, and he asked about the situation at the time, "Brother Tianqi, how was my father that day?" In the past year, Sui'er has been filial piety and has not spoken to anyone, but now that you are here, you will talk about the events of the day. ”
Zuo Tianqi sighed: "My lord is actually not long after the young lady left. I got sick. It was a cough and pain, sometimes good and sometimes bad, and there were many things in the land of the Hu people at that time. Adults worked day and night, and the accumulated labor became painful, and finally died. The adults knew that their days were numbered, so they sent someone to the table. asked to return to Beijing, but his health deteriorated. In the end, I couldn't even walk. At this point, he wiped his tears with his hands.
Sui'er felt sad in her heart, so she said: "My father was loyal to the country, and he stayed there in the end. ”
"yes. At that time, after the three sons and Brother Li arrived, they buried the adults in Hehuang according to the instructions of the old lady. After the local Hu people heard about it. They all went to the grave of the adults to worship Cai, and wept bitterly. Especially the big collar of Hulan Chacha. We wept so much that we wanted to kill ourselves in front of the graves of adults, and we persuaded them for a long time, but we couldn't persuade them. In the end, I was too sad and passed away not long after. The current leader of the Xiaoyue clan is his son Hulan Zha, and he is also very grateful to Miss for saving her life that day, and has been thinking about Miss's goodness. The cemetery of adults, the local Hu people fenced it off to prevent livestock and wild wolves from entering and disturbing, and a large number of people would go to worship on every festival day. ”
Deng Sui wiped his tears while listening, and finally sighed: "In my father's life, life and death are wise, and he is only cautious in his duties, although he died in the frontier, he can be regarded as the support of the people, and he finally lives up to the trust of the Han Dynasty." ”
"Before the adult died, he only called the name of the young lady, saying that he didn't see the young lady get married!" Zuo Tianqi choked up and said, "My lord said, Miss is calm and delicate, but it is too heavy for a love word, I hope you don't lose his hard work!" ”
Deng Sui trembled, his heart was full of sorrow, his father knew himself too well, and this was also a wake-up call for himself, how to go on in the future. She gasped for a moment, and said abruptly: "Sui'er can't live up to her father's expectations, it's Sui'er's!" Zhao Yu took her hand, and said with tears in her eyes: "Miss, Yu'er knows that you have a heart for the prince of Qinghe over the years, but you are not a family after all, even so, why don't you learn a word." Yu'er doesn't know a few big characters, but she still knows this truth, Miss is full of poetry and books, why don't she understand this truth? Miss, you should let go, don't be obsessed, life is a lifetime, there is a long way, you can't let a beautiful scenery block the way, that scenery only belongs to the people who really belong to it. ”
Li Xia smiled: "Look, our Yu'er girl, now she and Sui'er can learn how to write crepe." However, what Yu'er said does make sense, Sui'er, Brother Li has never liked anyone, but with Sui'er's talent, heart, and wisdom, it is indeed a little wronged to match this Qinghe King. Not to mention, does Sui'er really just want to stay with him for a dull life? Don't you also like to gallop in the Hudi grassland, and like the vast world? So, as Miss Yu'er said, your goal is far away, and that is where you should go. ”
Sui'er nodded, looked at them and smiled, her eyes flashed, and she was so beautiful. "Sui'er will never be again, Sister Yu'er, don't worry, Sui'er knows how to do it."
Zuo Tianqi said: "But I've been here for so long and I'm hungry, I don't know if there's anything delicious, is Miss a treat today?" ”
Sui'er giggled and said, "I've been drinking rice porridge for a year, and I'll ask Sister Yu'er to prepare some meals later, and you can eat some on the grass outside. ”
Zhao Yu was so happy when he heard this, "Hurry up, what are you waiting for, although you can't eat meat, it's also a good thing to eat some vegetarian food, and you have to trouble Brother Li for this purchase." ”
Li Daxia also smiled: "This treat must have a treat, rest assured that this vegetable is wrapped in me." Then he got up and rode outside, and in a blink of an eye the news was beyond the woods.
Zhao Yu pulled Deng Sui, "Miss, you have been in this shed for a long time, and you have come out to walk around, look at this scenery, it is early autumn, you see, how well the wild chrysanthemums bloom outside!" She glanced at Zuo Tianqi, and Zuo Tianqi also said: "Yes, when I came, I saw yellow flowers all over the ground, as bright as the sun, Miss, you should really go and take a look." ”
Deng Sui liked chrysanthemums the most, and after listening to their words, he was also a little moved, and the child's heart said: "Okay, then go out and have a look, but you can't go too far." (To be continued)
