Text Chapter 18 Heavy rain in Shuzhong
The sky was covered in the night, and the rain was pouring down near the city, but the people who were at ease in their dreams were unconscious. The rain poured down from the tiles of the cornice, as if a beaded curtain hung upside down in front of the eaves, separating the inside and outside of the house. Outside was the noisy and boiling sound of rain, but inside the room was the red candle tent, so quiet that even the red candle was tired of resting, swaying and swaying. (The city is now known as Guanghan, was founded in the Eastern Han Dynasty, located in the Chengdu Plain, in the middle of Shu.) )
Three kilometers outside the city, a soft sedan chair was jolting forward in the rain, but the girl sitting in the sedan chair did not care about the swaying, holding a book in her hand and looking obsessed, not moved by the heavy rain outside, immersed in the world of the book.
"Miss, the Golden Goose Bridge is about to arrive, don't you tire you?" was looking intently, and suddenly heard an inquiry outside the sedan chair. The girl in the brocade dress let go of her hand, smiled slightly, lifted the curtain, looked at the sedan chair with a bitter face holding an oil-paper umbrella, and shook her head gently, "I have books as a companion along the way, but I never feel tired." (In the Song Dynasty, maidservants should not call their masters miss, but I think I am writing stories, not history, so I can write freely and feel free.) Readers, forgive me)
"My good lady. You don't listen to what is going on outside the window, and you only read the books of the sages, but you are miserable. Feng'er shrugged helplessly, "It won't be long before you get to the mansion, and your lord should be looking forward to your return." ”
The woman shook her head, "Now my father doesn't think about me, he's depressed about his future." ”
"Isn't it? Master, this Zhizhou has been doing it for so many years, and he has not been promoted, but those mediocre people have been promoted one by one. Feng'er turned the umbrella, and the rain drops flew away, and said with a nonchalant look.
"Shhhh The woman made a silent gesture, "Who can say clearly about the affairs of officialdom." I just want to live my life in peace. ”
Feng'er rolled her eyes, "Come on, it's time to enter the city, Miss, you better put away your books, my lord doesn't like to see you reading this kind of boring book again." ”
When the woman heard this, her palms trembled, and she hurriedly rolled the book and hid it in her hand sleeves to maintain a dignified demeanor.
The sedan chair swayed and finally stopped in front of a large mansion, and the two stone lions * were atmospheric, which set off the extraordinary people here. As soon as the guards guarding the door saw this sedan chair, they hurriedly ran into the house, "Miss is back!" Sir, the young lady is back. ”
The woman's lotus feet moved slightly, and Feng'er held an umbrella beside her, helping her to walk slowly towards the inner hall.
A middle-aged woman dressed in brocade clothes and led a few grandmothers hurriedly came in from the inner hall, "Where is my daughter?" Han Yan, you can be regarded as back! ”
Han Yan hurriedly gave a salute to the woman, "My daughter is not filial, and Erniang is worried." ”
The middle-aged woman was Mrs. Xuxian, whom his father married after Han Yan's mother died, and she never came out, but she also regarded Han Yan as her own biological child.
The woman hurriedly helped her daughter up, with a kind smile on her face, and stroked Han Yan's hair, "Don't be tired, just come back." ”
"Ahem, you know you're back? What do you gain from going to Longju Temple? A majestic voice sounded, and in the inner hall, a middle-aged man in a purple robe and jade crown walked out with a serious face but with kindness.
Wen Jinrui is also regarded as the number one person in this city, not to mention the wind and rain on weekdays, what makes him most proud is that there is a talented Sanjiang, De Rong's words are outstanding, gentle and virtuous daughter, who doesn't know who knows a hundred miles from this city, who doesn't know.
Wen Jinrui has already bought off the relationship, and when the crown prince is weak next year, he will send his daughter to choose a concubine. Every time he thought of this, Wen Jinrui couldn't help but smile, twisted his beard, and looked at his daughter with a pampered face.
Wen Hanyan didn't know what her father thought, so she just lowered her head and replied honestly, "My daughter has been in the mountains for a few days, and she has gained a lot from learning piano, chess, calligraphy and painting with the master." ”
Wen Jinrui frowned, her daughter really forgot the most important point that she asked her to go to Longju Temple, "I'm asking you, didn't the master of the fortune teller tell you about the marriage?" Tell you if you can soar in the future and be independent of the head of the harem? As he spoke, Wen Jinrui's eyes were about to glow.
As mentioned above, the divination technique of Longju Temple is extremely accurate, and many dignitaries like to go to divination about the future. Although Wen Hanyan has a good face, she is obsessed with poetry and calligraphy, and when she arrives at the palace, she is afraid that she will suffer a lot of losses. The most important purpose of letting Han Yan go to Longju Temple this time is to seek a hexagram, ask about marriage, and see if Wen Hanyan can choose a concubine.
When asked at this time, Wen Hanyan was a little overwhelmed and hesitated for a long time.
Wen Jinrui was annoyed, stepped forward and grabbed Han Yan's arm, "What did the senior monk say, you told me." ”
Suddenly, Wen Jinrui noticed that something was wrong, "What object is hidden in your sleeve, show it to your father." ”
Han Yan was frightened and hurriedly took a step back, "No, father, it's just a poetry book." ”
Wen Jinrui didn't believe it, stepped forward and pulled out the so-called poetry book, and when he looked at it, it was actually an untitled book by Li Shangyin, and he was furious, "How many times have I told you, you should read books like women's rules and women's commandments, not these things of love and love, you are the one who wants to be a concubine!" ”
Under her father's anger, Han Yan didn't know where the courage came from, so she stepped forward, "Father, have you ever considered my feelings?" I didn't expect to be intrigued with those 3,000 fandels in the depths of the palace, and if I didn't pay attention, I would become a resentful woman in the deep palace for the rest of my life. ”
Wen Jinrui's face froze, and there was a trace of wavering in his heart. Seeing this, Han Yan continued, "The master said to me: The future is troublesome and troublesome, and the birds will rest when they don't leave. The fallen leaves gather and disperse, and the jackdaws are frightened. It is said that my choice of a concubine is far away, but there will be a marriage waiting for me soon. “
"Nonsense!" Wen Jinrui scolded angrily, "I think you're looking at these things and you're looking at these things and your brain is bad, you go back to my room for me to reflect, don't come out if you don't think clearly!" ”
"Father, you are too savage...... Father ......"
……
"Are you too unfair to your daughter to be a bargaining chip in your power struggle?" The woman, who had been silent on the sidelines, said angrily.
Wen Jinrui squinted at the woman, "When will it be your turn to criticize me, the reason why Yan'er is like this is because of your connivance, you will also give it to me!" ”
The woman shook her head helplessly, and slowly left with the support of several grandmothers.
At this time, there was only Wen Jinrui in the inner hall, and in the sound of rain, Wen Jinrui's face was distorted, and he said in a low voice, "I must climb up and step on all those who are powerful." ”
