Chapter 2: Song Tingyun
Li Jingheng didn't stay to eat, he gave me a beaded hairpin and sat for a while before leaving, and only drank two cups of tea and ate four pieces of crisp cheese. Soon after Li Jingheng left, Jia Niangniang came to me, and when she came, I asked Buyue to share the rest of the cheese with the palace maids. Not many people know Concubine Jia's name, I guess Li Jingheng doesn't know either, and I only know about it when I get acquainted with her. I think her name is much better than mine, after all, she is the only daughter of the prime minister. Her name is Ting Yun, you see, what a literary name. I once asked Mama why I am called Xiaoqi, not called Tingyun like Jia Niangniang, nor Lang Wu like Liu Meiren, even Mingyu, who dislikes her name the most, I also think it is very good. Mama said that I didn't have a name, Xiaoqi is a milk name, and it is very suitable as a palace maid or female official, but I didn't expect me to become a mother, so I had to call it like this.
Ting Yun brought me the pancakes that had just come out of the pot, and she saw that there was only one cup of tea on the small table next to my rattan chair and said angrily: "I didn't expect this to be Sister Xian's hospitality, just don't have tea and snacks, and don't invite people to sit down." ”
"Oh, how dare I, please sit down with Jia Niangniang, Yunzhi, and make tea." I was very cooperative, and quickly got up and made a "please sit" gesture at her. Ting Yun also followed this play without a play book, and sat down with a good figure with bumps and bumps. We looked at each other for a long time, and suddenly we smiled in unison. Ting Yun, who was sitting on a wicker chair, pulled me down, and I didn't stand still and fell into her arms. My rattan chair is so big that it can be my bed, and we just huddle together on one chair.
"If you are a man, you are so talented, isn't the male fairy in the play book written according to you!" I joked.
She smacked her tongue and gently poked my forehead with her fingertips: "Yo, which play book did that Xian Niangniang read today?" ”
Buyue brought Ting Yun's favorite red dates and horseshoe cakes, as well as the nectar water that I ate to eliminate food. I also forgot what was written on the top of the name on the first side of the booklet, so I asked Yun Zhi, who was making tea on the side, "Yun Zhi, what is the name of that play today?" ”
"Back to Niangniang, it's called 'Water Yuntai'." Yun Zhi made the tea, put it on the small table, and said: "Jia Niangniang, this is the new jasmine tea in Fujian this year, you can taste it." ”
"I've seen 'Shuiyuntai', if you want me to say, the female fairy in it is really annoying, but I love the male fairy but don't say it, I have been suffocated for a lifetime, and I am suffocated to death." She picked up the teacup and took a sip, and couldn't help but praise: "This tea is fragrant, send some to me back, don't be stingy, I have the little dragon group today and send it to you for the first time!" ”
I nodded, the tea that came up this time was very good, especially the various teas from Fujian, what Tieguanyin, Da Hong Pao are all the best. I said: "Cheng, I will share a little of you, but this time I got less, it is estimated that the queen likes it, most of them stay, if you have the ability, you will help me ask for more." "It is estimated that the number of things returned to pay tribute cannot be allowed to be distributed to a certain amount in each palace, and it may also be that the number of beauties of Li Jingheng's disciples is too large, so Li Jingheng stipulates that they will be divided in turn. This has formed a strange scene of concubines who are familiar with each other and have not received anything from each other. Once during a small gathering, Lang Wu once quipped: "I don't know, I thought something was going on in the palace, and the concubines in the palace actually helped each other." "I admire Li Jingheng for this, even if he doesn't score enough, he won't cause trouble to the people and officials everywhere.
"What did Your Majesty send you in the afternoon?" She asked me. I remembered this, didn't she go to Changjiekou in the afternoon to wait for Li Jingheng to go, but Li Jingheng came to me, and she probably didn't wait. I reached out and groped for a while on the bun on my head, looking for the hairpin, and it took me a long time to find it. I pulled out the hairpin and handed it to her and said, "This hairpin is quite chic, you are Magnolia, show me the style of Magnolia." ”
She was stunned for a moment and asked, "How do you know that I am Magnolia?" ”
I said, "Li Jingheng told me, eh, as soon as I returned to the palace, I saw the young man you were looking forward to, how did you feel?" "Ting Yun's Xiuxiang Palace is on the edge of my Fu'an Palace, Li Jingheng should have gone to Ting Yun after leaving, and then to Liu Meiren. Ting Yun reached out to touch my forehead and asked, "Xiaoqi, you won't have any crazy disease, right?" How long has it been since the negative person has been to me? If you want to comfort me, you mean that I have a good hair today. ”
"Didn't go to your place? And your hairpin ran from him to you with long feet? I was ashamed of her, nudged her, and quipped. Unexpectedly, she was stunned, then smiled and asked me: "I like hydrangea, I don't like magnolia, are you willing to change with me?" "I was waiting for her to be shy and blushing, but I didn't expect her to come as I asked, I didn't know she liked hydrangea, I always thought she liked plum blossoms. I said, "It's okay, Li Jingheng said that the fisherman's family on the beach has those things called pearls on the top of the family who grind them into powder and apply them to their faces, which can be beautified." Do you need me to ask Buyue to help you take it and grind it, you can take it away? ”
Ting Yun said: "What I took to grind the powder was a crooked ugly bead!" This hairpin is full of good beads of high quality and color, and you see, the beads will tremble when you walk. After saying that, she got up and put on the beaded hairpin, and walked around the rattan chair where we were sitting. Those beads really move, trembling and trembling, and the jade leaves are crystal clear, as if it is really a delicate early summer hydrangea. I have to admit that Li Jingheng is actually very good to the women in the harem, at least materially, we don't lack anything.
"Li Jingheng should send some useless things, it is better to send more good tea, delicious and fun things." Although I have to admit it in my heart, I'm a very hard-mouthed person, but it's true, it's really better to send some food and fun. I don't know if the sun set early today, or if I didn't even ask the time. Ting Yun and I sat on a wicker chair, the vermilion walls of the palace so high that they were connected to the citrus-colored sky. When I entered the palace, I thought that it would be like the folk rumor, intrigue and deceit, maybe I died before I was tempted by the only man I had in my life. Fortunately, I am surrounded by you, there is Lang Wu who has a collection of 3,000 books, Ming Yu who plays the pipa well, and Ting Yun who puts that negative man on the tip of your heart. Oh, there is also the middle palace Niangniang Sutang who can tell us allusions and legends like the old ministers of the previous dynasty, and you can discuss with me whether it is a fresh crucian carp stew soup or a fresh grass carp stew soup Hui Concubine Niangniang Yuan Chu.
Everyone didn't seem to put Li Jingheng's disciple on the tip of their hearts, but the joy overflowing from the depths of his eyes like Ting Yun couldn't be hidden. The play said, "The recurring son in the mouth of a young girl, no matter whether the woman is scolding or praise, the son must be the woman's sweetheart." Recently, I always wonder why Li Jingheng always flashes in my mind from time to time when I have tea with Ting Yun, and sometimes I inadvertently mention him, and then Ting Yun takes over the topic. Maybe I'm stunned, and I still recall that ridiculous joke. I am a great believer in Mama, since ancient times, infatuated and single-minded princes and generals only appear in the play, and most of them are immortals.
What, Li Jingheng is simply a demon, dominating my thoughts.
Ting Yun had dinner at my place, and I asked the small kitchen to make her favorite jade shortbread and pumpkin porridge, as well as the best roasted mutton in my small kitchen, and she didn't forget to say when she left: "I Ming'er brought Mingyu and Yuan Chu together, you are not allowed to hide from Xutang Niangniang." "Good guy, I still want to have some leftover over from a large portion of roasted mutton made in the small kitchen, and I will ask Yun Zhi to feed the little yellow dogs outside the palace for a while, but I didn't think that Tingyun, a starving ghost, would be reincarnated to eat it all, and there was no scum left. I inserted my waist and said angrily to Ting Yun, who was resting on the side because he was too supportive: "You starving ghost, I was going to keep some of that meat for Erhuang, Sanhei, Sibai to eat, you are good, you don't waste it at all." ”
She didn't think so, but changed the topic and said: "Your trick of choosing a name is really inferior, the yellow one is called Erhuang, the one with black spots is called Sanhei, and the one with white spots is called Sibai, oh I remember, you called it Da Lang the all-white one before, why, still haven't found it?" ”
I have to say that Song Tingyun is very good at diverting my attention. I sighed and said, "No, I called Jin'an and De'an to look for it, and Sutang Niangniang also asked Quanbao around her to follow her to look for it." I don't know where it went, but I can't find it. "Da Lang Erhuang, 3 Black and 4 White was originally picked up and eaten in the market near Qingning Gate, and later I found them when I went out of the palace to help my grandmother collect clothes and objects. Two yellow, three black and four white may be Da Lang's children, because when I found the four of them, Da Lang was breastfeeding the three little ones who were only the size of his palm at the time. Mama said that Da Lang would leave soon, I didn't believe it at first, how could there be a mother who didn't want her own children? But then one time, Yunzhi went to help me put meat on them as usual, and when he came back, he told me that Dalang was gone. I asked Yunzhi to stare at it for several days, but there was still no shadow of Dalang. It seems that Da Lang is really gone.
"When you go back and call Jin'an to look for it, ask someone to inform me, and I will ask the girl with sleeve Luo to bring someone to help you. Look for it, the weird name of 'Da Lang' has to be changed, where is there a female dog called Da Lang? Ting Yun rubbed his swollen stomach and said leisurely.
I nodded, Ting Yun also said goodbye to me, I watched her being helped by the maid and slowly walked to the Xiuxiang Palace on the side, looking really like a noble lady with six armors.
Recently, the weather is very suitable for sitting in the pavilion and the courtyard in front of the house to blow the wind, and I can barely distinguish the brightest Big Dipper as I look at the shining stars in the sky. I really don't know what the amount of moon silver of those astronomers is, but there must be a lot. If I look up like this all day, I estimate that my head will be broken and my eyes will be blind.
I sat until the insects on the tree were weak, and the clouds changed me about three times of tea halfway, and Buyue was afraid that I would be cold if the wind blew for a long time, and I added a quilt once. I picked up the soft quilt on my body and walked into the house, and walked straight to the bed, I was tired of lying down, no, Ming'er had to ask Imperial Doctor Wen to check my pulse. My head was dizzy, as if I was drunk, and I didn't care about changing clothes or anything, so I plunged into the quilt, closed my eyes, and began to talk about the ancient times with Zhou Gong.
Li Jingheng probably came in the second half of the night, and I slept so deeply that I didn't even notice that he was coming. That night I dreamed that I had come to a big stove, it was very hot, and I was covered with sweat, and suddenly the flames in the stove burst out, and I was frightened to wake up. When I opened my eyes, I reached out to wipe my sweat because of the heat, and sure enough, there was a lot of water. I found that I was tightly held in my arms by Li Jingheng, no wonder it was so hot. I stared at him, and my ears were filled with his heavy breath.
What do you think a child will look like when he's so good-looking, he must be very good-looking. Which princess or prince will it be? It would be nice if it was Ting Yun, and she fulfilled one of her wishes. Why are Li Jingheng's eyelashes so long? The nose is also tall and beautiful, and the lips are also raw, making people want to ...... I want to kiss it. He may have been in touch with me, or he may have been thirsty, and he stuck out his tongue and licked his lips. I just look at it like this, I think people must have an uncomfortable feeling when they are stared at by another person, otherwise how could Li Jingheng suddenly open his eyes and startle me?
"What are you staring at me for? But do you think I'm good-looking? The disciple stared at me and said abusively.
I broke free of his embrace and turned my back to ignore him. But he took me by the way, resting his chin on my neck socket, and the hot and humid breath blew on my neck, warm and itchy. "What are you hiding?" Hearing this, I turned around to find him and blew on his shoulder, and said angrily, "What are you hiding? It's itching to death, men and women can't kiss! "The moment I finished speaking, I realized that I had forgotten that I was his woman. In the dim gauze tent, I could faintly see that he was also staring at me, and I saw that he did not speak and said, "We are an exception to this relationship." ”
I really can't think of any other way to alleviate my embarrassment, Li Jingheng sneered after hearing it and said, "What is the relationship between the two of us?" ”
I have been stumbling for a long time, saying that I am a concubine, but I was also married into this Fu'an Palace by his phoenix crown, but I said that I was a wife, and the middle palace lady was. He waited for me for a long time, and before he could hear my answer, he hugged me tighter and tighter, so tight that I almost couldn't breathe, so I had to learn from the goldfish in the pool to breathe desperately with his mouth open. "Remember for me, you are the old woman I am marrying in the Three Books and Six Rites."
A trace of emotion flashed in my heart, but the last three words completely ignited the anger that I had endured for half a night, I pinched the soft flesh of his waist fiercely, and yelled at the wailing ploppy: "You are a talented old woman, you are an old, ugly and wrinkled ugly old woman!" ”
