Chapter 28: Peach Blossom Spring
"Sister," hearing Yulin call herself, Princess Qin raised a hand and signaled: "I'm fine, Yulin, I just understand too well, that's why it's like this." Yulin looked at the princess of Qin, it was sunset, and the clouds on the horizon were inlaid with red edges. The entire capital is shrouded in the setting sun, and at the highest point, the imperial city.
Princess Qin stretched out her hand and pointed to the imperial city: "Look, it's a place where everyone in the world wants to go, but for me, I don't want to be in it." ”
"I understand, sister. But my father often said that life, how can it be very complete, as long as there are nine points. Yu Lin's words made the princess of Qin Guo smile, and this smile made Yu Lin feel that the somewhat sad princess of Qin had disappeared, and what appeared in front of her was the familiar and high-spirited princess of Qin Guo.
In life, it's good to get nine points, and there are many things that you don't have to think about. The princess of Qin looked at the sun and took away a glimmer of light, and then re-mounted: "Let's go, I'll take you to my Zhuangzi." You've never been there. ”
"I heard that my sister's Zhuangzi is very quiet." Yulin tried to find a topic, and Princess Qin Guo smiled: "Yulin, you and I can be the same as before." ”
Yulin nodded, but quickly added, "But sister, I've grown up." "Grow up, you can't be a child anymore, Princess Qin Guo smiled, the two of them had already gone down the small hill, and the guards who were waiting there saw the two princesses coming down, and the leader stepped forward and said, "Princess, Zhuangzi is ready." ”
The princess of Qin raised her head, and she was the princess who was favored by the Son of Heaven, nodded to the guards and smiled at Yulin: "This place is still eight or nine miles away from that Zhuangzi, let's see who will run there." ”
"Sister Lu is familiar, I don't know where that Zhuangzi is, but I can't do it." Yulin's words made the princess of Qin State smile slightly, and then the horsewhip hit the horse that Yulin was riding: "Then I'll let you be a mile, and you will run first." Yulin didn't expect the princess of Qin to be like this, she almost exclaimed, grabbed the reins tightly, and let the horse run out.
Soon he heard the sound of chasing behind him, although Yulin was not competitive, but at this time he was also a little competitive, his hand tightly held the reins, and he felt that the horse was running under his crotch. This feeling is actually very good, Fang has just galloped over, this time Yulin is better than Fang Cai, after the initial panic disappears, there is joy, this kind of galloping, can you feel like a bird?
Eight and nine miles of fast horses soon arrived, Yulin restrained the horse in front of Zhuangzi, and the princess of Qin also arrived, looking at Yulin, she smiled: "What's the matter, it's good, right?" I occasionally found that such a horse ride makes people feel very good, but how can there be such a place in the capital that can let me ride a horse, so I found such a Zhuangzi and went out to live from time to time. ”
Yulin nodded, Zhuang Tou had already caught up, and the princess of Qin Guo stretched out a finger and put it on her lips: "I'm not a princess here." "Not a princess? Yulin was still wondering, the head of the village had already saluted the princess of Qin State: "Miss Chen came late today, and when the housekeeper sent someone to say, the little one thought he had heard it wrong." ”
Miss Chen? Yulin's eyes blinked, and the princess of Qin Guo had already turned over and dismounted, let Yulin also come down, and said to Zhuangtou: "This is one of my sisters, very naughty, I heard that I am coming to this village, so I have to follow." ”
Who is naughty? Yulin's mouth couldn't help but pout slightly, Zhuang Tou responded, and hurriedly called the second lady. This completely different title made Yulin smile. The princess of Qin has already walked into the village with Yulin, this village is not big, but it is just two entrances, no matter how quiet the trees in the courtyard are, they are not as delicate as the palace, revealing a sense of roughness.
Yulin was still stopping to take a closer look, and a mother-in-law stepped forward and said to Princess Qin with a smile: "Miss hasn't been here for a few days, and my head of the house also said that it's time to send the newly picked peaches to Steward Fang." ”
The princess of Qin called Granny Wu, Yulin arrived at this time, how could she not understand the intention of the princess of Qin, and she didn't know what to say in her heart, Granny Wu had already lifted the curtain, and the layout of the hall was similar to that of the farmhouse, and a little girl of thirteen or fourteen years old was pouring tea there, and when she saw the two of them coming in, she hurriedly saluted them.
However, this etiquette is not standard at all, Yulin took the tea brought by the girl and took a sip: "This tea is not bad." ”
"Second Miss, you don't know, this tea is from the mountain above, there are only a few trees, you can brew it out, it is fragrant, especially if you use this mountain spring water to brew, it will be even more fragrant." As she spoke, Granny Wu brought a plate of peaches: "This is also the peach planted by Miss Zhuang, which is sweet." ”
It was the first time for Yulin to see this peach being sent to her like this, and she subconsciously wanted to tell the maid to take the peach down and peel it and put it on the core, but she saw that the princess of Qin Guo had already reached out and took a peach, and she didn't peel it and gnawed it like this.
This, this, this, really. Yulin's eyes couldn't help blinking, and Granny Wu was already smiling: "I also know that the ladies in Beijing eat peaches, and they have to peel and remove the core before they can be served, but what's the point of eating peaches like that?" ”
Since the princess of Qin did this, Yulin also picked up a peach, but fortunately, although she didn't peel it, she had also washed it with water, and she couldn't see the fluff. Yulin took a careful bite, eating like this, as if it had something else.
Unlike Yulin's carefulness, the princess of Qin Guo had already eaten a peach quickly, and seeing Yulin's cautious appearance, she threw away the peach pit in her hand, and said to Yulin with a smile: "Still like this?" When you get here, forget about those etiquette rules, this is my place, I am Miss Chen, you are Miss Chen, you are the one who was disliked by the stepmother at home and favored by the father, so you have to stay here for a few days. ”
The stepmother didn't like it, but her father loved her, Yulin snorted and laughed, and the princess of Qin Guo had already pulled Yulin to get up: "I still have a small vegetable garden here, you can take a look." ”
Yulin hurriedly put down the half-eaten peach in her hand, and followed the princess of Qin to the backyard, at this time although the sun had set, the moon had risen, and she could see things without a lantern, Yulin followed the princess of Qin to the backyard, and the frog chirping could be faintly heard outside the wall on the road.
Yulin couldn't help but listen carefully: "Why can't you hear the frog cry when the rice is ripe?" ”
"It's really a person who is a squirrel, although the frog chirps in the fragrance of rice flowers, but at this time the rice is already tasseling, and there will be frogs that have grown up at this time."
Princess Qin's words didn't annoy Yulin, she just smiled faintly: "Isn't my sister also a person who is a squirrel?" Princess Qin Guo smiled: "Yes, so I can only hide here and pretend." ”
Yulin didn't expect her words to arouse the sadness of the princess of Qin, and held the hand of the princess of Qin, the princess of Qin had taken Yulin to the backyard, a few peach and plum trees were planted in the backyard, and there were a few cabbages below, the cabbage was blooming, the eggplant was about to hang fruit, and the bean rack on one side had already hung a lot of beans.
Princess Qin walked to the side of the bean shelf and touched those beans with her hand before smiling at Yulin: "I like the spring day here the most, the peach and plum are in full bloom, the seedlings are also sprouting, and you can hear the rooster and the dog barking, which makes people ......."
"Is this my sister's peach blossom paradise?" Yulin's words made Princess Qin Guo smile lightly, and then said: "Yes, this is my peach blossom source, but this is just fleeting. ”
"Since my sister is an understanding person, how can she not be clear?" Princess Qin smiled when she heard Yulin's words: "You are right, since you understand people, how can you escape forever." I won't be here again. ”
In the words of the princess of Qin State, there was a deep regret, and there seemed to be a kind of relief. Completely forget this fake peach blossom source, and from now on, she will be the real princess above ten thousand people. It's the real one, no longer in the way.
"I'm sorry, sister!"
Yulin's daoqian made the princess of Qin Guo smile: "Fool, why do you need to daoqian to me, in this world, the person who should have treated me daoqian has never said this, let alone you." You've grown so big, it's time to choose a colt and live your life well. "As for me, I can't be an ordinary princess, and from the very beginning when Qingtang sent it back, I can no longer be an ordinary princess.
Yulin can feel the sadness of the princess of Qin, but she can't comfort the princess of Qin, all the things that should be suitable for the princess in the eyes of the world have been abandoned by the princess of Qin.
In the moonlight, under the peach tree, Yulin and Princess Qin stood side by side, neither of them spoke, but they felt that they had said a lot, until the moon was in the sky, Princess Qin Guo walked back to the house, and after taking a few steps, she said to Yulin in a low voice: "Anyway, Yulin, I will protect you for the rest of my life, and I will never change." ”
The princess of Qin Guo, which Yulin was familiar with, came back, Yulin wanted to nod her head, but she couldn't speak, and it took a long time before she answered softly, Princess Qin smiled faintly, with a resolute look in her eyes, could she be the one who turned the tide? This thought flashed vaguely in Yulin's heart, and then let this thought disappear, these should not be thought about by herself.
The next day, the princess of Qin took Yulin back to Beijing, and when she went back, she left a rich reward for Wu Zhuangtou and his wife, but Wu Zhuangtou and his wife did not understand their intentions and did not dare to accept it. The princess of Qin only said lightly: "This is what you deserve, I will not come here again after this." ”
Mrs. Wu sighed and asked, "Is Miss going to get married?" The princess of Qin Guo smiled indifferently, but her eyes looked not far away, and there were already children running over: "There are many, many people I don't know, and there is such a beautiful carriage." w,,
