Chapter 763: Hibiscus Blossoms (Finale)
Chang'an Hibiscus Garden is now in full bloom of flowers, this is the royal garden, whether the people or the eunuchs, if they do not obey the order, they can only stay outside a little, or take a break on the Qujiang Pond. However, after the release of the scientific examination list this time, the imperial court actually issued an order to allow the gentry of the people of Chang'an to enter the Furong Garden to visit the garden.
The hibiscus garden is lined with green trees and palaces, since it is called hibiscus, it is natural that there are few wood hibiscus trees that bloom all over the garden. Although there are many people, because there are many Jin Wuwei in the garden, and they are all assigned number plates to enter, it is orderly. On this first day, most of the people came to join in the fun, and the eunuchs were still waiting for the grace of the future, and there were not many people coming.
Under a clump of oysters, a young girl held the hand of a fifty-year-old man, and suddenly asked, "Grandpa, what flower do you like the most?" ”
"As long as it's a beautiful flower, I like it."
"Grandpa, you are so cunning, you can only choose the same!"
"Little one, if your grandfather prefers this and that, how can this bowl of water not be leveled?"
Looking at his granddaughter's delicate and angry face with a smile, Li Xian blinked again, until she dragged her hand with a disobedient face, and then he tugged his beard and said, "A hundred flowers compete for beauty is spring, if you insist on dividing a high, then you must not break your head?" Although humanity is the king of peonies, peonies, camellias, apricot blossoms, peach blossoms, chrysanthemums, etc., are all gorgeous and enchanting in their own way, so why do you have to score high? ”
Seeing the little granddaughter blinking, she didn't seem to understand. He didn't explain, he walked forward on his own, stopped in front of a bush of purple and red wood hibiscus, and gradually remembered the scene when he lived in this hibiscus garden. There is a saying that the years pass like a white horse, and the time that passes in this flash is decades. Back then, he was known as graceful and elegant, and they were known as peerless, but they didn't expect that now they are all white-headed to white-headed.
No, it's just him who has a white head, and his wives are all well-maintained. They are all full of black silk, only he is the most pitiful, and this white hair grows so much without arguing. Can't we keep him from getting old? blame his father and brother for not being good, but they want to go ahead of him, and they want to leave a country in Nuoda to him, as well as his mother," "That is a generation of empresses who changed the dynasty in the history books, and now they spend one-third of the year in Qianling!"
"Heaven is forgivable, but you can't live!" Seeing that his granddaughter had already hurried to catch up, he suddenly turned around and patted her little head melon seeds, and said with relief. "Fortunately, your father is angry and knows to share your grandfather's worries, otherwise how could I live so comfortably in Furong Garden? It's a pity that your father and..."
"Grandpa, don't you just want to leave this burden on your father, who doesn't know this in the world?" The girl pierced her grandfather's mind in one bite, and saw Li Xian laughing embarrassedly. She rolled her eyes angrily, "I know that hiding in this hibiscus garden to enjoy Qingfu, people still say that grandpa you are virtuous, if you want me to say, you are a lazy old man!" ”
"Hahahaha!"
An irrepressible laugh suddenly rang out, and the grandparents looked back, only to see Li Jingye, Cheng Bohu, Ding Shan, Qu Tu, Zhongxiang, and Zhou Xiao standing not far away. The one who smiled forward and backwards was the most exaggerated Cheng Bohu.
A guy who claimed to be able to fight tigers when he was young is still very burly now, but his hair is half gray, and with that messy beard, he naturally looks even more sloppy. Someone's son married Li Xian's daughter Li Chen, and now he is a real son and daughter, so he needs to be serious outside. Now it doesn't hurt to laugh and laugh.
"Lazy old man,...... That's a fitting statement. ”
"Little Lu'er. Dare to say that about your grandfather, you are still the first of the younger generation. ”
"yes, yes. I'll have to tell them that I'll let you supervise your grandfather in the future, so that he won't be lazy anymore. ”
The gossiping voice made Li Xian's heart burn, and his fiery eyes circled around the five people who were afraid that the world would not be chaotic, and then he snorted triumphantly: "What about being lazy?" I have a powerful son to support me, even if I am lazy, that is also the blessing of me as a father! Besides, I've worked hard for most of my life, shouldn't I enjoy pure happiness? ”
"Oh my God, this No. 1 big lazy worm actually said that he has worked hard for most of his life!" Li Jingqi patted his brain vigorously, and then pulled Rong Dingshan over with a wry smile, "I said Lao Rong, over the years, the two younger brothers of Zhudi and your four younger brothers have all been oppressed by this guy for a long time, you and I have been pushed to the sky and the earth every day, do you say that he is working hard or we are working?" I want to regret that I shouldn't have gotten on the thief ship, but now it's too late to get off even if I want to! ”
"Nonsense, you've long been tied to my boats, Hugh l6.
Li Xiancai didn't answer Li Jingye's words, and proudly dragged his granddaughter Lu'er to the side of the path. The five people outside looked at me for a while, and Zhou Xiao was the first to ask in a low voice uneasily: "He is the Son of Heaven anyway, there are so many people in the Hibiscus Garden today, can you leave him alone?" ”
"Of course it's weird!" Qu Tu Zhongxiang viciously burst out a few words, and then glanced back, and several strong men dressed in ordinary people's clothes immediately followed. At this time, he took a long breath, and an annoyed expression appeared on his face, "When he was young, he liked to mess around, and he still does." That's it, why do you say that he is so energetic, at this age, he can still beat me in sumo, beat Bohu in strength, and win Xiaofu in archery! ”
"Who knows, that guy is getting better when he gets older!"
Of course, Li Xian didn't know that people had given him an old and refined comment, so he just looked at the scenery of the garden with great energy. Living here these days, he was already a little tired of it, but now there is more of an extraordinary liveliness than a person. Flowers are like a hundred flowers should be shown to others, otherwise what is the use of this flower blooming well?
Although there is a little girl nagging next to her. But Li Xian has long practiced the ability to selectively deaf, and he didn't hear those instigated complaints, admiring the boundless spring of nature on the one hand, and admiring the boundless spring of those small jasper ladies on the other. Looking at those who are coquettish and timid, or unrestrained and bold, or half-concealed, or fresh and happy smiles, he only feels that his heart is also filled with a boundless happiness.
Peaceful and prosperous times...... No wonder everyone likes peace and prosperity, this kind of year is really good!
Suddenly, he saw several people not far away surrounding an old woman. It seems to be a large family of juniors, and there are a few followers from afar. The old woman was about fifty years old, though she was no longer young. But he seemed to be in good spirits, and when he talked to the children beside him, he kept smiling on his face, and that smile was even more unconcealable satisfaction and suitability.
Li Xian just felt that the person was a little familiar at first, but when he saw someone on the other end of the face going up to greet the old woman, and recognized that it was his wife and sister Xu Yao, he stood there in a daze, and suddenly gave birth to a trace of enlightenment.
Hibiscus pond in the hibiscus garden, hibiscus flowers reflect hibiscus women. Time flies, the graceful Fang's hibiscus girl in the past. Now Shaohua is old and full of children and grandchildren. Thinking about the touch when we met for the first time, it was not so much for the delicate face, but for the memory of his fate, but now, his fate has long been broken, he has a beautiful wife and concubine, confidant, confidant, and virtuous and filial children and grandchildren, what more can he ask for in life? It was just a hibiscus. And what he has now is a garden. Although he is old, and they are old, it is better to quietly enjoy the tenderness that seems to be eternal than to adopt those delicate and shy newcomers.
He stood there silently until the group disappeared and the beautiful girl was lost in his field of vision, and he did not take a step forward.
Farther up, a few women who are no longer young are leaning on the railing looking out at the flowery hibiscus garden. There was a smile on his face that was full of satisfaction. The eldest of them looked at the old and the young over there tenderly, but his heart floated far away. Although that night was already many years ago, and she did not get the child she dreamed of after all, she still had a peaceful and joyful old age.
Di Lu'er, who was beside Li Xian, looked up at her grandfather's concentration and couldn't help but feel very strange in her heart. In the past, I only felt that I was old, lazy and poor-mouthed grandfather. It turns out that quiet times are so different. No wonder people say that my grandfather was elegant when he was young. It turned out that it wasn't Bonghe...
After a long time, Li Xianfang breathed a sigh of relief. As soon as he turned his head and found that his granddaughter was in a daze, he doted on her hair: "Xiao Lu'er, you are not too young, but do you have anything to look at?" ”
"Grandpa!" Lu'er didn't expect to suddenly encounter such a problem, and suddenly stomped her foot l6....... "Lu'er is still young, I don't want to get married so early!" Besides," she tilted her head to look at Hu Xian for a while, and snorted defiantly, "Besides, Lu'er must choose well, but you can't choose a lustful guy like you, grandpa!" The husband I chose must not have a second woman, otherwise I will castrate him! ”
This familiar rhetoric suddenly reminded Li Xian of her sister Li Lingyue, the princess of Taiping, who was the first to say this, and the second one who said this. Li Lingyue is now accompanying her husband Murong Fu in the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate, while Mo'er personally selected the eldest grandson of Qi He Li as her son-in-law, and went to Liaodong with her husband with tears in her eyes.
"That's right, you must choose a future husband, don't choose a half-hearted person like your grandfather and me." He gently patted his granddaughter on the shoulder, and when he looked up, he saw two smiling women not far away.
The two of them held a faded book of poetry in their hands, and from the direction where Li Xian was standing, a few words on the cover could still be vaguely seen. Looking at the calm and sly face, looking at the two generations of talented women who were ten years apart, he replied with a warm smile.
Since ancient times, talented women have had a thin life, and now they are all magnificent. Talented women should not just be female officials, they are not accessories of concubines, nor are they vase playthings to serve the emperor, they should have talents other than poetry, and they should have their own lives.
Drunk and sparse singing, smiling at the beauty with red sleeves.
How many heroes at one time are all in my place.
Five-flowered horses, daughters, but ask Zhang Tai to get drunk, and the sword points to Penglai Palace.
He didn't fight for hegemony, his life was just as exciting, wasn't it?
