Chapter Forty-Seven: The Seven Fairies of the Heavenly Stars
Chen Hongmi understood Hua Xue's intentions, but when Chongzhen asked, he would still say: "Your Majesty, although Fengnian is young, he is not only clever, but also really talented and learned. The child was an orphan who had been adopted by a hermit who had lived in the Peach Blossom Nunnery, and had been living alone since three years ago. Originally, the minister had nothing to do with him, but because he had something to ask the minister, he had to give the minister some ideas in exchange for the minister's help. Seeing that he was quite capable, he asked him for advice, and he told him his analysis of the formation of the disaster and his prediction of the future disaster. The former is well-organized, reasonable, and unbelievable. The latter said that the information was not complete, so he was not very sure about some of the predictions. ”
Hua Xue didn't want to affect the situation in the north, but she couldn't say anything if the affected people didn't save her, so she said: "My lord, the students are just not sure when the disaster will end. However, we are very sure that natural disasters will last for at least five years from next year. ”
Chen Hongmi nodded and explained to Chongzhen: "Feng Nian said this to the minister at that time. ”
The four of Chongzhen also understood a little, Chen Hongmi's words were conclusive, this Hua Xue should indeed be the stranger who made the explanation and prediction. If it was just a prediction, they would just think it was a child's nonsense, but the previous explanation was very reasonable and could not be ignored. But Hua Xue seems to have some concerns, and has been unwilling to say how to make predictions, always shaking her wit and diverting the topic.
Chongzhen asked Hua Xue: "Little brother Fengnian, since you have made an explanation, you must be very sympathetic to the people under the disaster, but you seem to have any opinions about me?" ”
Hua Xue shook her head: "Objectively speaking, except for the fact that you were born at the wrong time and don't know anyone, everything else is fine." It's just that I have no interest in being an official, and I just want to live a small life with Sister Yuanyuan, so I don't want to be Corporal Lixian by you, and I have to go out of the mountain like Zhuge Liang. ”
"You're in seclusion at such a young age? You said before that Zhou Ge has been an official for thirty years and is tired of it, but you haven't been an official yet? ”
"I don't have enough time to earn money and accompany Sister Yuanyuan every day, how can I have time to be an official for you?"
"Why does a husband have no wife? Are you afraid that you will have no money and no wife when you become an official? ”
"How can vulgar fans be compared to Sister Yuan Yuan! As for money, those who make money are corrupt officials, right? ”
On the side, Chen Hongmian coughed twice and interrupted the two: "Cough, Your Majesty, Fengnian, your topic has deviated again." After a pause, he said to Hua Xue: "Feng Nian, you still tell Your Majesty why you thought of studying the disaster." After all, this has nothing to do with the six arts, since you are a descendant of the heart, how can you instead go to the knowledge of things? ”
Hua Xue naturally used the same rhetoric as Chen Yuan: "Lord Chen also knows that Sister Yuan Yuan sold her because she encountered a disaster year and her family couldn't afford to eat." So since I learned about Sister Yuanyuan, I have been concerned about the disaster year. I thought, if there is no disaster year, Sister Yuan Yuan will not have to be so pitiful? ”
Chen Zilong was dissatisfied with Hua Xue's previous revelation of Liu Ru's black history, and interjected on the side: "Listen to what you mean, if it weren't for the disaster year, you wouldn't seem to be able to meet your sister." ”
How could Hua Xue be stumped by such a simple question, as long as it was not the kind of paradoxical question that was in a dilemma, it was not difficult for Hua Xue to answer: "If I can let Sister Yuan Yuan have a happy childhood, what if I don't know Sister Yuan Yuan so early?" As for the fate that has never been known, like ours, we will definitely know! Hua Xuexin said, since Da Huaxue wants us to know, with his inexplicable power, I am afraid it is not an exaggeration to say that the sky is destined in this plane.
Chongzhen and others were a little moved by his selfless true feelings, Chen Zilong remembered the relationship between himself and his wife and Liu Rusi, but he was even more sad, and a feeling rose in his heart that if he knew Liu Rushi first, would he be able to give her happiness? And her original wife is the words of the matchmaker of her parents, if she already has a wife, she should also be able to find her own happiness, right?
Hua Xue continued her previous reminiscences: "Later, when my husband died, I needed to find a way to redeem Sister Yuanyuan, I thought, if I have the ability to turn a disaster year into a good year, wouldn't I have the ability to redeem Sister Yuanyuan?" ”
Chen Zilong was extremely curious and exclaimed, "Have you found a way?" ”
Hua Xue looked at him with idiot eyes again: "If I have a way, what else do I need the prefect to help?" Hua Xue was used to calling Chen Hongmi by Lord Chen, but since Chen Zilong was also present, it was not clear who Lord Chen was referring to, so Hua Xue used Lord Chen instead.
Chen Zilong felt that he was very hurt, how could he say that he was also a well-educated person who had cultivated his mind for many years, but he was a little confused because he mentioned Liu Ru, so he didn't restrain his curiosity just now, and asked directly.
Hua Xue continued: "I've been researching for a long time, but I can't turn a disaster year into a good year. There are so many powerful people recorded in the history books throughout the ages, and I am afraid that only Li Bing's Dujiangyan dares to say that the flood in Sichuan and Shu has not been prosperous for 2,000 years, but he does not dare to say that he can manage the wind and rain. As for Zhuge Liang's borrowing of the east wind, even if it is not said that the achievement of the Battle of Chibi is the prestige of Zhou Yu, the southeast wind sometimes blows in the winter in the south of the Yangtze River, and even the northwest wind does not always blow in the northern winter. Zhou Yu is just familiar with the climate in the south of the Yangtze River. ”
Several other people just felt that what Hua Xue said was true from their own experience, Chen Zilong's astronomy and geography were true, and he was not talking nonsense academically: "The climate in Jiangnan is indeed like this, the climate is changeable in many places, and only the local elderly can accurately predict the changes in cloudy weather and wind direction." ”
Chen Zilong interjected repeatedly, making Hua Xue think of Liu Rushi again. Hua Xue wants to help Chen Yuan build a team. And when I turned over the information just now, I turned over the information of the so-called "Qin Huai Bayan", except for Ma Xianglan, who had already passed away, the other seven people were all in the most beautiful years of their lives. Since Hua Xue wanted to deify Chen Yuan, she moved her heart to gather the seven people.
First, most of the seven girls ended miserably, which made Hua Xue's sympathy greater.
Second, with Da Huaxue's temperament, he knew that he could obviously change the tragic fate of these women, but if he didn't help, he would definitely be dissatisfied with himself.
Third, the legend of the goddess fairy circulated among the people, in addition to those with great power, the most famous is the combination of the seven fairies. Gather these seven, just enough to "go to the heavenly star", follow the example of Shuibo Liangshan, and act in the name of the mortal incarnation of the "Seven Fairies".
The mortal emperor is called the "Son of Heaven", which means "the eldest son of heaven", and the Seven Fairies are precisely the "Heavenly Maidens" in folklore, and they are the seven daughters of the most descendant line. Although the patriarchal style prevailed in the Ming Dynasty, at least in the propaganda slogan, the Seven Fairies were closer to the sky than the so-called "Son of Heaven" in the world.
