088 Body Fragrance
When Chi Linglong went to the Sanfang Wutong Courtyard with three landscape travelogues the next day, the third lady Jiang was holding her three-year-old son Lin Ge'er in her arms, and Du's mother fed the child egg custard little by little.
Lin Ge'er is the eighth son in the Hou Mansion, and one of the only two sisters-in-law in the third room, and the importance he receives in the third room is self-evident.
However, although the little guy is still young and a little shy and shy, his upbringing is very passable.
As soon as he saw Chi Linglong, a familiar sister, coming over, he didn't need to be reminded by an adult, so he called "Fifth Sister" glutinously.
The small voice was soft, and the voice was still milky, a shy flower bloomed on the red fluttering little face, the big eyes were wet and watery, and the small body was nested in a ball, curled up in Jiang's arms. That soft and cute appearance, Chi Linglong's heart melted when she saw it, and she really hated to reach out directly to ravage the little guy's apple-like face, which was almost going to turn people upside down.
"Fifth sister, you're here, come over and have some snacks." Chi Mingxuan, who was holding a freshly baked snack on the side and chewing slowly, was also excited when he saw Chi Linglong. With a snack in his mouth, he whimpered and spoke.
"Eat your well, don't say anything when you eat, don't say anything when you sleep, you have learned all the rules in the dog's stomach?" Jiang stared at her directly, and Chi Mingxuan, who was waving her hand to greet Chi Linglong, was honest, sat on the small round stool aggrieved, looked at Chi Linglong pitifully, and waited for Chi Linglong to say good things to Jiang to rescue her.
"Five girls, come here." Jiang beckoned Chi Linglong to walk to her side, and kept nagging, "You girl, why did you run out today?" It's cold, don't freeze people. ”
There was a light rain last night, and although the rain was light, the temperature dropped a lot. An autumn rain and a cold, this is definitely not a lie; In addition, there is some wind during the day today, and the sky is still gloomy, and the weather is a little cold in winter.
Before Chi Linglong could open her mouth to say anything, Jiang was busy instructing the big girl Qiu Tong, "Go and cook a bowl of ginger water for the fifth girl, so as to drive away the cold, remember, put more brown sugar." ”
Qiu Tong responded loudly, and the smile was about to retreat.
Chi Linglong took off the vermilion cloak, handed it to Biyue behind her, grabbed Qiu Tong's hand who was about to go out, and said to Jiang with a smile on her eyebrows: "Don't be so troublesome Third aunt, I only drank a bowl of ginger soup when I came out, and now my hands and feet are hot, warm and ruthless, and I can't get sick from freezing." ”
said to Qiu Tong funny: "Good sister, don't be so busy, I came here and tossed you uneasy, then I don't dare to come again in the future." ”
As soon as Qiu Tong heard Chi Linglong's words, she also covered her handkerchief and chuckled: "That slave doesn't care." The slave and maid only knew that this was ordered by the lady, and the slave and maid did what the lady ordered. ”
said funny: "Fifth girl, don't be troublesome, after all, your own body is important, you just listen to Madame, wait for a while to drink the ginger soup." After speaking, he deftly broke away from the hand held by Chi Linglong, and went out to cook ginger syrup for Chi Linglong with a smile.
Chi Linglong laughed helplessly, and the Jiang family also said angrily: "You kid, since you still think that I am your third aunt, you come to me and be polite, and you seem to be angry for no reason." After saying that, he beckoned her to come over.
Chi Linglong smiled bitterly twice, and when she felt that the chill on her body was almost dissipated, she also walked straight to Jiang's face, squatted down, touched Brother Lin'er's little face, and asked with a pity, "Is Xiao Lin'er feeling better today?" Do you still need to continue to drink bitter medicine? ”
Lin Ge'er had a cold a few days ago, because the weather was good and bad, and the little one's illness kept repeating. When I went to Jiangfu yesterday, the little guy was still in good health, but who knew that a rain fell at night, and I heard that I had a cough today.
"Okay, don't drink it, it's bitter." As soon as the little guy heard Chi Linglong say about the bitter medicine, his little brows wrinkled into eight characters. While hiding in Jiang's arms in disgust, he did not forget to express the central idea of rejecting his good health and not drinking bitter medicine anymore.
The cute appearance of the dissatisfied pouting little mouth is really a cute bun.
Although Chi Linglong is naturally not a strange aunt, when she encounters such a cute mess of meat dumplings, she can't help but want to take advantage of it.
Simply, the little guy finished the bowl of custard in time.
Jiang wiped the little guy's mouth, and then said to Chi Linglong: "Doctor Zhu prescribed medicine at the beginning, but this little guy is really picky, and he can't open his mouth no matter how his mother coaxes." There is no way, your third uncle had to ask Dr. Zhu to make the decoction into a small pill, I just hope that this little ancestor can eat it in peace, but don't make any more trouble. ”
Jiang Shi has blue and black right now, and obviously he didn't sleep well last night. Chi Linglong has never raised a child, but she also knows that the injury is in the mother's heart.
Come to think of it, if it weren't for the fact that he didn't say too much in front of his junior, I was afraid that if he echoed the last two sentences casually, the Jiang family would be able to wipe away his tears.
Jiang asked Du's mother to wrap up the little guy and send it to the study to the little guy's father, and let Chi Zhongli lead the little guy to toss. She had a leisure, and only then did she see the book held by the maid Biyue beside Chi Linglong.
"But you've read it all?" Jiang asked Chi Linglong in surprise. It's not that she's surprised, it's true, her niece is reading books too fast. After returning from the birthday banquet of the old lady in Qingyang Bofu, the book that he took away was only a few days old, and he had already finished reading it?
Chi Linglong nodded, took the book Biyue was holding in her hand, and put it on the small round table beside her. He smiled and said to Jiang: "There is nothing important except to go to the boudoir during the day, I am idle and bored, so I flip through the book to relieve my boredom." ”
How could Jiang believe her words?
Although Chi Linglong is the concubine of the big house, and she has always been inconspicuous in the Hou Mansion, she is also her niece, and she is also a girl who grew up under her nose. Although the Jiang family doesn't know how many catties and taels Chi Linglong has, just looking at this girl without the support of her mother, she can still live under Zhou's nose in a beautiful way, but this girl is not simple.
This girl behaves in a well-behaved manner, does not go out of line, does not cause trouble, and has her own two points of thought, and her mind is pure and harmless, which is also the reason why she has been relieved that Mingxuan's girl and her are good in recent years.
However, what made the Jiang family really look at the girl in front of him even more was that this girl had her own set of rules no matter what she did.
At a young age, he is neither humble nor arrogant in dealing with others; Be well-organized in your speech and demeanor. Never arrogant and complacent, nor demeaning himself, let others do it. People should be soft and soft, hard should be hard, and there are a few needles hidden in the cotton. It's not a character who can eat secrets, and he won't take the initiative to attack people to find fault.
Chi Linglong has been borrowing books from her for a day or two, probably a few years ago, since she entered the boudoir school, this girl somehow got along with Mingxuan. Over time, she was no longer polite when she came to Wutong Temple, knowing that her dowry had the most ancient books, and occasionally borrowed a few.
At first, she was worried that the children did not know that the books were precious, and that they were worn or torn, and she was a little distressed. However, after that, Chi Linglong not only quickly returned the book, but also made a fine repair of the worn parts of the book, and she knew that this niece was still very desirable.
After all, those books were her dowry, so she was naturally left to deal with them. Chi Mingwan, the second girl in the second room, heard that Chi Linglong borrowed a book from her to read, and she also wanted to borrow it to read it. It's a pity that she and the old lady don't deal with each other, and they don't look at each other in the second room, how can they lend the books to Chi Mingwan lightly?
Although her approach is a little childish and unfair, and the Lin family has given her eye medicine in front of the old lady for this reason, but she is happy. Her things are at her disposal, who can take care of her?
Jiang motioned to Qiu Rong on his side to hold the book down, then took Chi Linglong's hand and said: "The third aunt knows that you read quickly, but after all, this book is a dead thing, and it won't run away, and the third aunt is not in a hurry to use it, you just read it for a long time, why do you have to return it in such a hurry?" He said angrily: "At the age of growing your body, don't stay up late because of reading, and become blind at a young age, otherwise, you will cry at that time." ”
Although it was a complaining tone, he was very satisfied with Chi Linglong's move.
Chi Linglong naturally couldn't take Jiang's words seriously, so she also said with a smile: "The third aunt is wrong to blame me, why am I in a hurry to return the book?" It's clear that the landscape travel book is so well written that I can't bear to put it down as soon as I read it. Alas, if it weren't for the worry that I wouldn't be able to get up in the morning, my niece would have thought about reading the book all night before going to bed on the first day of reading. ”
Jiang reprimanded her disapprovingly, "You! On the other hand, he also said: "If you don't want to go out and walk around more, if you don't want to go to the other sisters, come to find Sister Xuan to play, sit in the house all day at a young age, and sooner or later you will get sick." ”
Chi Linglong didn't know how to answer, so she continued to laugh twice. It just so happened that at this moment, the Jiang family caught a glimpse of Chi Mingxuan, who was like a little hamster, and was enjoying the pastries little by little, and instantly transformed from a gentle and virtuous aunt into an angry female warrior, and fired directly at Chi Mingxuan, "You dead girl, how many times have I told you, it's hard to restrain if you eat too much chestnut cake, you can eat two pieces at most, you count how many pieces you have eaten now?" ”
The maids waiting around all hung their heads to their chests when they saw that the hostess was angry. They remembered what the female master commanded, but Mrs. Fang Cai was talking to the fifth girl, and they didn't dare to intervene if they wanted to remind them?
And I happened to be warned by the seventh girl and glanced at it, and I pretended to be dumb.
Ji Mingxuan was yelled at by the Jiang family, and a mouthful of pastry stalks couldn't go up and down at the throat, and he almost choked to death. It was Chi Linglong who really saw her pitiful, so she patted her on the back and let her pass that breath. However, one face was red.
"Mother, hee-hee......" Ji Mingxuan wanted to haha and fool this stubble, but he was frightened by Jiang's Tieqing's face, and he didn't dare to giggle anymore.
However, he still muttered two sentences without giving up, "Who told you to talk to the fifth sister and ignore me?" Am I bored alone, otherwise I wouldn't have eaten so many pastries? Are people losing weight, and eating two more pastries will make a lot of meat? ”
This belongs to the typical type of "getting cheap and selling well", Chi Linglong covered her forehead with a headache, she was already speechless to Chi Mingxuan.
Jiang Shi was also gasping for breath, his chest bulging one after another, Jiang Shi couldn't help but say loudly again: "If you have your fifth sister to learn like this, I will ignore you." You little debt collector, I really owe you in my last life. ”
Seeing that Jiang's anger was not light, Chi Linglong didn't dare to look at the excitement anymore, and hurriedly went over to give Jiang Shishun a chest. Chi Mingxuan is not stupid, he has his own set of means to deal with the Jiang family, therefore, as long as Chi Linglong has a look, Chi Mingxuan is also settled, so he flatteringly came to Jiang's side, and did not mention Jiang's reprimand, but changed the topic again: "Hehe, mother, don't be angry, isn't it okay for your daughter to dare in the future?" Hehe, mother, who said that I don't want to learn, I have read all the landscape travelogues that my fifth sister reads. ”
The books that Jiang married over, Chi Mingxuan only read landscape travelogues, and she was too troublesome to even flip through other books.
Chi Mingxuan also has a good memory, knowing that the last time Chi Linglong took away were three books compiled by Mr. Kyushu, so he said again: "Mother, I know that those travelogues were written by Mr. Kyushu." Not only that, but I also know that the travelogue is a series, and I heard that Mr. Kyushu wrote it after traveling to the eighteen states of Daxing, and Mr. Kyushu is really talented. ”
Later, he muttered a lot of things, and all of them combined, it roughly means that although Mr. Kyushu has not been out of office in his life, he is a great power. Not only does he know astronomy, he knows geography, but he also has a lot of knowledge of Qimen Dunjia, Yin and Yang Five Elements, the Art of War, Nongsang, Etiquette and Music, Calligraphy, Painting and Medicine.
And it's not just a superficial taste, Mr. Kyushu has a lot of research in these industries, and there are also books that have been handed down. Just like what Chi Linglong heard Chi Mingwan say to Mu Changyao yesterday, she got a guqin score.
The guqin score is not necessarily very valuable, but if it is from the hands of Mr. Kyushu three hundred years ago, it is absolutely worth a thousand gold in the current Great Wei Dynasty, and it is still a priceless kind.
In this way, the value of Mr. Kyushu's work can be seen. Mr. Kyushu's great talent and ability can be glimpsed.
What Ji Mingxuan said was interesting, and the Jiang family also calmed down the anger in his heart a little bit. Coupled with Chi Linglong's gags from time to time, Jiang nodded at Chi Mingxuan's head after a while, and sighed helplessly, "You are a little wrongdoer who is here to collect debts." ”
Ji Mingxuan giggled, and the whole person was buried in Jiang's arms. Jiang relieved his breath, and also felt that because of one or two pastries and his daughter's anger, he made a little fuss, so he also enjoyed his daughter's coquettish obsession, while touching her hair, he opened his mouth leisurely, and said to the two little girls: "You have just listed a lot, but you know too little about the life of Mr. Kyushu. ”
"Less?"
This time, not only Ji Mingxuan's eyes widened in surprise, but Chi Linglong also frowned slightly.
She has read a lot of books over the years, and the books in the bookstores in Yizhou City, every once in a while, she has to ask Biyun to go out and buy them for her. I think I already have a comprehensive understanding of Mr. Kyushu, but the third aunt actually said that it is too little?
Is it because her own browsing scope is too narrow, or is it because many of the other books involving Mr. Kyushu are no longer in circulation at all, and they are all collected by the great family or the scholarly family that has been circulating for more than a hundred years? Or is it ...... Forbidden by the superiors, or incinerated?
Chi Linglong intuitively felt that the first one was unlikely, and the key should be in the second or third reason. And Jiang's next words also made her prove that her intuition was indeed not wrong.
Jiang told all the things. She said to the two of them unhurriedly: "You only know that Mr. Kyushu is an unprecedented power, but you absolutely don't know that Mr. Kyushu's family is also capable people, and whether it is his ancestors or descendants, they all have great achievements no less than him." ”
"Really? Mr. Kyushu's family is really so, so ......" Chi Mingxuan was excited to find a suitable adjective, but Chi Linglong thought of a "cow. Force", but this word is too vulgar, Chi Linglong was afraid that she would frighten the two people in front of her if she said it, so she also pretended to think, and scratched her head anxiously with Chi Mingxuan.
Ji Mingxuan couldn't think of it, so he gave up, and asked directly: "Mother, then why have I only heard of Mr. Kyushu?" Since Mr. Kyushu's ancestors and descendants also had powerful people, I have never even heard of their names, so it must be that they are not as talented as Mr. Kyushu."
"You stupid girl." Jiang smiled again and reached out to poke his daughter's forehead, and continued: "You must have heard of Mr. Kyushu's ancestors and descendants, but you don't know, they turned out to be a family. ”
In the eyes of Chi Mingxuan and Chi Linglong, who were more and more puzzled, the Jiang family unhurriedly spit out a few titles: "Xiao Shizhou, Stop Jun Farewell, Mr. Fuweng, Penglai Xian, Mr. Liuyi......"
These are all aliases, not real names, and there is one thing in common, these people are all famous from the Daxing Dynasty, and they have all left a strong mark in history, and have made achievements in various industries.
Xiao Shizhou is the son of Mr. Kyushu, and in historical records, he painted with one hand and carved with the other, almost superbly.
Legend has it that Xiao Shizhou once followed the travelogue left by his father, Mr. Kyushu, and visited the eighteen state capitals of the Daxing Dynasty, and never married.
However, after more than 30 years of travel, it took him a full year to return to his former residence and paint a pair of "The Complete Map of the Daxing Dynasty" with more than three feet in length, height and width. The landscape topography in it is realistic, fully in line with all realities, realistic and practical value, far more than the extremely secret military combat maps of the time.
As soon as Xiao Shizhou's painting was completed, it was requisitioned by the emperor at that time, and it was heard that until the fall of the Daxing Dynasty, it was protected by layers of organs and shadow guards, and hung in the Lama Hall where the emperor of the Daxing Dynasty worked.
As for the supplement and secondment of this "Complete Map of the Daxing Dynasty", the explanations given by each symbol not only record the local cultural customs, but also when each river entered the flood season and dry season, and how to improve the management of various fields. It is rumored that just by supplementing and seconding the "Complete Map of the Daxing Dynasty", Xiao Shizhou compiled ten books.
And these ten books, together with this "Daxing Dynasty Scenery and Public Opinion Map", all became the factors for the prosperity of a generation in Daxing at that time. Even, because of the birth of this painting and ten books, the Daxing Dynasty also changed the previous economic weakness, and in the history of three hundred years, it has continued for two hundred years, and it is definitely the longest founding dynasty in history.
And Xiao Shizhou's achievements are far more than that, I heard that he was also ordered by the emperor to carve a piece of extra-large jade weighing five tons according to the appearance of "The Complete Map of the Daxing Dynasty".
During the period, the mountains and rivers, the splashing waterfalls, and the desert abyss make people feel as if they are there.
And it wasn't until Xiao Shizhou carved for ten years that this extraordinarily large Fengyu map was completely completed, Xiao Shizhou also vomited blood and died. Therefore, whether it is based on the actual value of this piece of jade, or his significance, whether it is in Daxing or the current Dawei, it has been placed in the Taihe Hall by the Son of Heaven in the past dynasties, and it is a well-deserved "treasure of the town".
He heard that he could live and die with white flesh and bones, snatching his life from the hands of the king of Hades, and was a miracle doctor known throughout the country at that time.
Mr. Floater's chess skills are unparalleled. I heard that when he died, he set up a game of Silent Nothingness and Lifelessness that combined the technique of Qimen Dunjia, and it was not until two hundred years after his death that it was cracked.
Mr. Penglai Xian is a good wine, and he is a fairy in wine. It is said that three hundred years ago, the "Penglai Xian" liquor that the Son of Heaven could not get was brewed by Mr. Penglai Xian.
Mr. Liuyi is proficient in the six arts, and he is also a great Confucian throughout the ages. I heard that the "Enlightenment Reading" written by him when he was ten years old is now a must-read for the children of rich and noble families. At the age of fifteen, he wrote "Open Source Theory", at the age of 20 he wrote "Ten Articles on National Policy", and at the age of 25, he wrote "Thirty Advice on the Mean and Governing the Country", which was written at the age of 30......
Chi Linglong and Chi Mingxuan carefully recalled the achievements and life deeds of these names given by the Jiang family, and slowly felt that their mouths were dry, and it was difficult to even swallow a mouthful of saliva.
It took a long time for the two to recover from the shock and horror. Ji Mingxuan couldn't help but say, "Mother, mother, are you here, open, joking, right?" ”
There are so many great Confucians and celebrities who have been handed down from generation to generation, and I am afraid that even if they have not entered a private school for a day, they can call a few names. What's more, they are girls who have been carefully raised by their families since childhood. Are they also highly educated?
So, so ...... If these people are all from the same family and are all inherited from the same family, then how good must the genes of this big family be! ! !
Jiang Shi saw the stunned appearance of the two girls, but laughed happily. She likes to play and have fun in the boudoir, and after marrying into the Zhongyong Marquis's Mansion, she slowly became more stable. However, the detachment in the character still exists. I have to say that Ji Mingxuan's temperament is very similar to her in the boudoir.
Jiang felt more and more interesting, and he didn't mind shocking the two girls a little more. Then he said slowly: "How can Mother make jokes to you, these are all true. ”
"Then why don't we never, I don't know, they're all family?"
That's a good question. Chi Linglong silently gave Chi Mingxuan thirty-two likes, and also looked at Jiang expectantly, waiting for her answer.
Jiang's brows frowned slightly, and he slowly explained the reason for the matter: "Because as early as 567 of the Daxing Dynasty, that is, when the last emperor of the Daxing Dynasty, the emperor fell in love with the girl of their family and wanted to order that girl to enter the palace as the queen. At the end of the Great Xing, the emperor was arrogant and extravagant, and he was violent, and he killed the military generals of Wenchen and the army, which was a sign of the death of the dynasty. There were people in the family who were proficient in divination, and they knew that the girl was lucky enough to enter the palace, so he naturally did not want to; However, in the end, he couldn't resist the ruler of the dynasty, so he sent the eldest daughter of the family to the palace. Who knows, but in just two years, the girl died violently. ”
"How powerful people in that family saw that the emperor was about to fall, and that their own family and daughter had died, they wanted to retire. Who knows, there was a false accusation by the minister, and the whole family was accused of collaborating with the enemy and rebelling, and all nine clans were destroyed. ”
When Ji Mingxuan heard this, he didn't even dare to breathe loudly. Chi Linglong felt something inexplicably strange in her heart, her heart was beating so fast, bang......, bang,
Jiang didn't care about the expressions of the two girls, and said slowly with a look of reminiscence: "Your great-grandfather once told me about this history, and I heard that after Emperor Xingmo punished the nine clans of that family, he also burned all the hand-me-down works of that family. Of course, because the influence of that family is so far-reaching, it is natural that all the heirlooms cannot be burned. However, it was also true that the fire burned for seven days and seven nights, destroying many famous works. Most of the works of Xiao Shizhou or Mr. Liuyi that we see today were borrowed by Wei Gaozu from the family after the founding of the Great Wei Dynasty, and sent scholars to copy and spread to the world. Speaking of Emperor Xingmo, because of the violence of Emperor Xingmo, everyone stopped mentioning the name of that family in order to save their lives. However, Xiao Shizhou, Mr. Kyushu, and Penglai Immortal belong to one family, and it is not a secret. All the scholarly families with family roots know about this, you don't know, it's just because you are still young, and the elders in the family don't specifically tell you......"
Chi Linglong and Chi Mingxuan were immersed in the mood fluctuations for a long time.
After a long while, Chi Mingxuan asked curiously, "Mother, then, what is the surname of that family?" ”
"The surname is Zhuan, but I heard that they all call themselves 'Fools'. Alas, speaking carefully, my mother has grown so big that I have never seen a person with this surname. It is rumored that before the nine tribes were razed, the family was collectively transferred out by the ancestors of the family using a secret method, and now they are all living in a paradise, I don't know if it's true or not. ”
Chi Linglong almost asked, "What are the characteristics of that family?" ”
"Features?" Jiang frowned, not knowing why Chi Linglong asked this question, but he still thought about it carefully for a while before he let out an "oh" and suddenly said, "If you want to talk about characteristics, there really is." I seem to remember that your great-grandfather told me that the Zhuan Sun clan is loved by heaven and earth, and there are many people in the clan who have become great weapons. However, the ancients had a saying, 'Wisdom must hurt', and few men in that family seem to have a long life. Mr. Xiao Shizhou, the only one who survived, heard that he had some adventures when he traveled around Daxing. Few of the other men from the Sun clan survived past forty. ”
Forty?
For a clan that has amazing medical skills, but it is difficult to continue the life of its own people, this situation is indeed a bit sad.
Ji Mingxuan not only sighed, but also suspiciously brought some heroic twilight emotion on his face. This made Jiang, who noticed his daughter's expression, amused. It's still a girl, where can you experience such a tragedy......
The little girl's forced appearance is really funny.
Chi Linglong didn't pay attention to the interaction between Chi Mingxuan's mother and daughter, and she was now in turmoil. There seemed to be a stream of hot magma brewing in his chest, waiting to find a breakthrough and explode at any time.
Chi Linglong sat restlessly, and asked the Jiang family again dreamily, "Third aunt, where is the woman of the Sun family?" ”
"Woman?" I didn't expect Chi Linglong to ask this weird and remote question, but Jiang didn't hide it, and blurted out directly, "You girl cares carefully." ”
Sighing, the Jiang family said again: "The women of the Sun clan are said to have the color of the country, and the women in the clan are also blessed by the gods, and they are born with a peerless body fragrance. …… However, Heaven is always fair. It is true that the women of the Zhuan Sun clan have the beauty of captivating the country and the city, but it is extremely difficult to give birth to children......"
Chi Linglong couldn't hear the words "It is extremely difficult to conceive an heir" that Jiang said behind her at this moment, and her thoughts had been firmly occupied by the words "born with a peerless body fragrance".
It was as if magma erupted from a volcano in her brain, making her whole body unable to suppress the blackness in front of her eyes, and she fainted on the spot.
Born with a peerless body fragrance...... RS
