Chapter 44: Birthday Celebration (1)
Yinxiang took the brocade box in his hand and got up and said: "Niang Niang knows that among the few elder brothers, I am the poorest, so there is nothing good, only to find a pair of hundred sons to offer longevity jade cups to Niangniang, I wish Niang Niang a longevity than the Nanshan Immortal Pine, and happiness is like the long flowing water of the East China Sea." ”
Concubine De took the brocade box and opened it to take a look, only to see a pair of jade cups with a whole body of emerald green, the cup body was carefully carved with the pattern of a hundred sons offering their lives, the carving was delicate and expressive, and in such a small range, you can clearly see the different expressions on the faces of the hundred sons, which shows the depth of the carving. Even though Concubine De has lived in the palace for a long time and is used to seeing rare treasures, she is still amazed.
"It is rumored that the world's first craftsman, Sun Zi Jin, is good at carving people, and can carve people on the grain of rice, and the characters on the jade cup of the thirteenth brother are so numerous but can be lifelike, could it be from his hands?" Nala asked curiously.
"The fourth sister-in-law has good eyesight, although she is not in the middle, it is not far away." Speaking of this, Yinxiang said with some regret: "Sun Zijin sealed the knife and retired a few years ago, and then he didn't carve for others, I asked him several times and he refused, and finally only agreed that his apprentice would carve this pair of longevity jade cups for me." ”
Concubine De liked the pair of jade cups quite a lot, and said with a smile: "The palace also has a few pieces of Sun Zijin's works, this palace has seen it, this pair of jade cups, the carving is enough to compare, but there is still a trace of fire, it seems that the apprentice has at least seven or eight percent of his true inheritance." Thirteen has a heart, the jade cup is very good, and Bengong likes it very much. She handed the jade cup to the palace people and put it away.
Yin Zhen took out a scroll from the long brocade box that the dog had been holding in his hand, and handed it to Concubine De in person: "Erchen fasted for ten days, and wrote this longevity with his own hands, wishing Eniang a long life and a long life." When he said this, Yinzhen's eyes showed deep admiration
"Longevity Chitose? If you can live a long life, you will be satisfied. Concubine De smiled and said curiously: "Why does the word longevity take so long to write for ten days?" ”
It was not only Concubine De who was curious, but also Nala and others, none of them had seen Yinzhen's birthday gift, only Ling Ruozhi, who had gone to the study to wait.
She opened the scroll in her hand while talking, only to see a golden longevity character written on the scroll with a vermilion background, this word set is positive, seal, subordinate, line four laws as a whole, the four laws are blended, no solution and no attack, ingenuity is unique and hearty and natural, it looks solemn and muddy, simple and round. Although Yinzhen is quite accomplished in calligraphy, it is not easy to write such a longevity character.
But this is not the most rare, the most rare is embedded in the stroke of the big shou word a hundred small shou characters, the beads are juxtaposed, colorful, there are small seals, oracle bone inscriptions, gold inscriptions, etc., one by one for other bodies, none of them are the same. There are even fires, such as flame burning; hydrology, such as zigzag loops; tree texts, such as reckless forests; The phoenix book, like the colorful phoenix dancing, etc., all have both form and spirit, and they are about to come out.
This is a longevity word, respectively, a picture of a hundred longevity, although there has never been gold, silver, pearls and jade, but on the mind and filial piety, it is more valuable than a thousand gold.
Concubine De was also deeply moved, this picture of longevity reminded her of something, and looked at Yinzhen's eyes and softened a little, "On Concubine Rong's birthday, the third elder brother Yinzhi once wrote a word of longevity to Concubine Rong with both hands, and the palace remembers that you were also present at that time, right?" ”
"Yes, although E-Niang didn't say it at that time, Erchen could see that E-Niang liked the longevity character very much, but unfortunately Erchen was never as good as the third brother in terms of calligraphy, and he couldn't write that kind of word, so he could only bother somewhere else, and I hope E-niang wouldn't dislike it."
She beckoned Yinzhen to go over, and when Yinzhen approached, she looked at her first son carefully, and vaguely remembered how happy she was when she gave birth to Yinzhen, it was her son! It's a pity that she was just a noble person at the time, and she was not qualified to raise children at all, plus Empress Xiao Yiren, who was a noble concubine at the time, lost her son in illness, Kangxi took Yinzhen to her palace to raise her in order to care for the pain of losing her child, until Empress Xiaoyiren passed away, and she was promoted to Concubine De before Yinzhen was taken back, when Yinzhen was nine years old; And at that time, she was busy taking care of Yinzhen who was still in infancy, and neglected to take care of Yinzhen, so she and Yinzhen were far less intimate than Yinzhen, and there were few words between mother and son except for ordinary greetings. always thought that in Yinzhen's heart, Empress Xiaoyiren was his mother-in-law, but he never thought that he would remember himself like this.
"I didn't expect that after so many years, you have always remembered it in your heart, and this palace itself has forgotten." She got up, and her hand wearing tortoiseshell inlaid jeweled flower butterfly armor gently stroked Yinzhen's face, and she was surprised to find that Yinzhen's body was trembling slightly, and there was a deep affection in her eyes......
Yes, I almost forgot that this is also her biological son, and she has her blood flowing in her body like Yinzhen!
In fact, if you look closely, Yinzhen and Yinzhen look very similar, with the same eyebrows and starry eyes, but Yinzhen's eyelids are more slender and the lips are thinner, which also makes his temperament more cold and yin.
"It's so fast, in a blink of an eye, the son of this palace has grown so big, half a head taller than this palace." Concubine De swallowed the choked throat and said: "It's hard for you to be so hearty, this picture of 100 longevity is the most valuable birthday gift received by this palace." ”
Nian said coquettishly: "Lord Belle has always been very good to Eniang, usually the first thing that comes to mind when there is any good thing is Eniang, and he never forgets to teach people to send them into the palace to honor Eniang." "She is a side Fujin, so she can be called Concubine De.
Concubine De nodded and handed the Baishou diagram to the palace man on the side: "Take it to the inner hall and hang it." After the palace people went down, she said to Yinzhen: "In the future, I will be free, and I will come to the palace to accompany Eniang, and the old thirteen is also, but the palace treats you as half a son." ”
"The retainers obeyed." Yin Zhen hid the excitement in his heart and bowed down to agree, he could get this sentence, and his hard work was not in vain.
After Yinzhen sat down, Nala coughed lightly and got up and said: "Erchen is ashamed, he doesn't have the same mind as Lord Belle and the Thirteenth Elder Brother, and he knows that Eniang believes in Buddhism, so he hand-copied the "Guanyin Sutra", "Myoho-renge-kyo Sutra", "Huayan Sutra", "Diamond Sutra", and "Medicine Master Sutra" each to Jin Niang, may Eniang be prosperous and prosperous, and the future blessings will be boundless. ”
"Okay, all right." Concubine De looked at the neat and beautiful fonts on the Buddhist scriptures and nodded again and again, "It is not easy to calm down and copy this Buddhist scripture word by word at your age, and this birthday gift is also very fond of the palace." She looked up and smiled, "How, can your body improve?" ”
Nala hurriedly replied: "Thank you for your concern, it's much better, except for a few occasional coughs, it's not a big deal, but I'm afraid the root of this disease can't be removed." ”
"Alas, it's hard for you." The ins and outs of Concubine De is known to the Tao, when Honghui was born, she fell into the root of the disease, and now Honghui is dead, it is not a big blow to her, it is not easy to stand here today, and now half of the root of the disease is heart disease, unless Honghui is resurrected, it will not be better anyway.
There is lily incense burning in the Boshan furnace, and the misty light smoke brings out bursts of faint incense, which is scattered in the main hall, and the aroma is subtle and unassuming, just like the concubine herself.
The tortoiseshell-inlaid jeweled flower butterfly armor lightly knocked on the celadon entwined porcelain cup, making a soft jingling sound, Concubine De raised her eyes and said softly: "The doctor outside may not be good, let's let the imperial doctor show you." Recently, a new imperial doctor came to the palace, although he is not very old, his medical skills are excellent, and the headache in this palace has improved a lot after his acupuncture; Gai Ming'er returned to the palace and asked him to go to your house to show you. ”
"Thank you, E-niang." After thanking her, Nala helped up her chair and sat down, she was slightly gasping for breath after standing for so long, and Jade gently patted her back on the side.
Concubine De saw it in her eyes and cherished it in her heart, sighed silently and turned her gaze to the delicate and bright Nian, she was no stranger to this side Fujin who had not been married long after Yinzhen, and smiled slightly at the moment: "Su Yan, what about you, what good things do you want to give to this palace?" ”
Nian smiled and said coquettishly: "The gifts they gave are all ingenious, compared with them, Erchen's gift is much more vulgar, Eniang will definitely say that Erchen is a layman, and Erchen doesn't dare to take it out." ”
