Chapter 11: A Touching Story
The autumn festival has come to an end, and Zixin's family went to celebrate the New Year. Xiaobao nests in her father's study all day long, and her relatives and friends are gone, as if she has seen through the red dust. This is nothing less than a strange news for the entire General's Mansion, and it is really rare. Up and down the house, I sincerely hope that the little clever ghost of this game Hongchen can make trouble, but there is nothing to be done. In the rest of the year, only she knows Xiaobao's ghost thoughts.
The long days are long, and the outside of the house is lively and noisy, and there is a flat atmosphere. The room is as quiet as a secluded pool, only the starling under the eaves of the porch can't bear the loneliness, muttering something alone. Xiaobao's self-care intoxication, and he doesn't care about this old friend's poor mouth.
Maybe everyone has a secret in their heart that they don't want others to know. Xiaobao just felt in a trance that he should have an unforgettable past, but those were just shadows of midnight dreams, just like the vague and real things that remained in his mind after being drunk. Although there are many things that can be loaded in people's hearts, there are not many things that they really want to pack.
Zixin has been home for a few days, and she is looking forward to Xiaobao coming to relieve her boredom and talk about interesting things in the streets and alleys. It's just that no one came, so I had to break through many obstacles and drive to the general's mansion in a canopy and zhulun carriage. Xiaobao has always had nothing to say to Zixin, and the two villains sneaked out of the back door, unaware.
The street is full of people, busy with traffic, bustling, and the sound of selling is endless. Xiaobao's favorite thing is to collect new hunts in the streets and alleys, but this time it is more like a caterpillar, shuttling through it. Zi Xinte likes to listen to stories, and when Xiaobao is almost strolling, she pulls Xiaobao straight to the familiar alley. I saw that a group of people had just dispersed, and the blind old man was content, with a faint smile on his face, as if he was very satisfied and satisfied. Xiaobao and Zixin leaned over and hurriedly begged the old man to talk about one more and promise to pay twice the price than usual. The old man just smiled and didn't answer, Xiaobao called his grandfather sweetly as if flattering, and pulled the old man's clothes to be coquettish. "I can't imagine that Huan Xiaobao still has this cute portrait" Suddenly, a young man in a brocade dress sneered loudly, which made Xiaobao listen very frivolous and indignant. But in order not to break the work, I simply don't look back, just as a deaf ear, a slap doesn't make a sound, depending on what happens to you. The old man didn't seem to hear it, and said slowly, "Well, I'll tell you a very ancient story." It is said that more than 200 years ago, the world was just unified, internal and external troubles continued, the then king Long Yu made great efforts, and within five years the world appeared in a peaceful and prosperous situation. Although it is light, what is convincing is the policy it implements: knowing how to make good use of people, building water conservancy, advocating frugality, and attaching importance to agriculture and mulberry economy and trade. If the princes are convinced, there is no one who makes a noise. Thinking about how many kings have been able to do it, it is really worthy of a generation of Ming monarchs. The most popular is the story of him and Queen Streamer.
Hearing this, Xiaobao and Zi Xingu opened their eyes wide, looking impatient. The old man seemed to be deliberately selling off, and with a gentle hoarse throat, he continued slowly: It is said that one day, the emperor went out hunting and saw a sika deer dressed in colorful spots passing by rapidly, so he took the golden feather arrow and aimed it and shot it out like lightning, followed by Hu Hu and the ministers cheering loudly behind. The emperor was in high spirits, swept up the dust, and when he walked into his prey, he didn't want to shoot a tea-picking woman. I was really angry and annoyed, but the fact was that the beast had escaped from his arrows, and he had caused the innocent to be arrowed. The emperor was unable to do so, so Zhao accompanied the imperial doctor for treatment. The ministers were also amazed, but they were speechless. Later, the emperor fell in love with this tea picker, and against all opinions, he named her the queen and gave her the title of streamer. He also created a wrench for her, named Dragon's Blood, as a token of love. It is said that this wrench is the treasure of the Jin Kingdom Palace, and it was later stolen. Xiaobao opened his eyes and asked anxiously: How did the emperor fall in love with the tea picker, there should be a lingering and sympathetic story going around and around. Xiaobao sighed rather vicissitudes. But Wu Zhao looked at it in his eyes, but he felt that this little treasure was a little interesting. The old man shook his head, "Of course, the story between them is more than that, it is said that when the emperor plays the Requiem, she will dance the dragon dance under the moon, which is comparable to that of heaven and earth." But maybe it's just a legend, maybe it was made up by later generations in memory of the two. "Alas, don't they have children?" "It is said that there is one, but he is the king of the lost country. Not to mention this person, he is really evil, unparalleled in ancient and modern times. It's just that the story record about him was burned by Lou Yuan, the founding king of the later Zhou State, and how he died is still a mystery. "Then what's his name?" "Some say it's called Long Zhang, and some say it's Long Zhao." Because the Zhou Dynasty opened the monarch Lou Yuan and issued a ban not to be mentioned, it was forgotten by later generations over time. ”
Xiao Bao's heart was overflowing, and he asked endlessly: Isn't that wrench the love object of Emperor Longyu and Empress Liuguang, it should be in the hands of the next emperor who is unparalleled in ancient and modern times, how can it be in the Jin Kingdom after the world has changed from unity to division later. "Maybe that wrench can mobilize the world's soldiers and horses, so it is unknown that it was taken away by Lou Yuan." This is Wu Zhao suddenly interjected, the old man smiled lightly, looked into the distance for a long time, as if in a reverie, and finally his tone was a little sad, "There are indeed many doubts in it, and I am afraid that no one knows about his life." I can't answer that for you. After all, the time that belongs to them has passed, and the power of time is always infinite. It's just a pity that the emptiness is left infinite for future generations. You three little dolls have heard enough, it's time to go back. After listening to it, the three of them felt the weight of time, and the insignificance of people in front of time. Whether it is a commoner or an emperor through the ages, it is really like a drop in the ocean. Zi Xin didn't say a word, but some feelings had already inexplicably lived in her heart, just bored, but for some reason.
Xiaobao looked preoccupied, Wu Zhao just wanted to say to Huan Xiaobao at this time, but Zixin was there but didn't know how to speak, so he took out that domineering posture for a long time, and said loudly: Huan Xiaobao, I have something very important to tell you. Zi Xin was a little uneasy, and sneered: Why, we are very familiar with you. If it wasn't for you last time, Xiaobao wouldn't have been hit by the board. You're embarrassed to pretend to be big here. Xiaobao felt that it didn't matter, it was better to have one more friend than one more enemy, besides, seeing that he was not as disgusting as in the past, he tilted his head with a smile and said: Say what you want to say. Wu Zhao saw that Zixin still looked reluctant to leave, so he had to bite the bullet and say: Huan Xiaobao, I don't want to be your enemy, you were too angry that day. Originally, I didn't intend to expose this, I just wanted to scare you. Who would expect you to have such a big prejudice against me? Seeing what he said sincerely, Xiaobao's face was ashamed, but fortunately, his skin was dark, and he was really a natural protective barrier. Suddenly, I felt that this young man was still a little cute, so the anger of the board that day disappeared. It's just a few casual conversations, and the atmosphere is lively, and the three teenagers are like this, laughing all the way, walking through the streets, talking and laughing.
