Chapter 17: Concubine Mei
Jiang Caiping was full of curiosity and asked Liang Xingfa how he knew that vinegar and water could be used to detoxify?
Liang Xingfa said: "This is basic common sense in our hometown, and many people know it. ”
Jiang Caiping yearns for this magical hometown and wants Liang Xingfa to take her to see it.
Liang Xingfa said: "When there is a fate or when the time is ripe, I will take you to have a look." ”
Jiang Caiping's impression on Gao Lishi is too good, and he is considered to be a rare woman in the world, and such a woman should not be buried in a small inn, but should fly on the branches as a phoenix.
Gao Lishi recommended Jiang Caiping to the peerless Tang Xuanzong. He has always been so loyal, believing that all good things in the world should be dedicated to Tang Xuanzong.
Tang Xuanzong has a good impression of Gao Lishi, who has served him for many years, but he scoffs at Gao Lishi's appreciation of women's eyes, and he thinks that Gao Lishi is an incomplete person, so Gao Lishi's aesthetic views cannot represent the mainstream aesthetic views. Jiang Caiping was blown up by him, maybe just a neutral person.
Gao Lishi saw that Tang Xuanzong did not believe that such a beauty existed, and he was quite anxious, and he was afraid that others would take the lead like Yang Guifei and marry another woman's wife before he saw Tang Xuanzong. So he strongly suggested that Tang Xuanzong leave the palace and go to the Caiping Inn to see for himself, and the truth would be revealed. And I guarantee that Tang Xuanzong will not regret it, otherwise he will regret it. It's true that the emperor is not in a hurry, and the eunuch is in a hurry.
Tang Xuanzong was said to be moved, and he really set out to find out. Because of his romantic nature, why bother missing it if there are beautiful women.
I don't know if I don't see it, and I'm shocked when I see it. There are tens of thousands of palace maids in Luoyang's palace, and tens of thousands of palace maids in Chang'an's palace, and Tang Xuanzong, who has read countless women, is still amazed by Jiang Caiping's beauty, especially Jiang Caiping's exquisite music and art.
Back in the palace, Tang Xuanzong vigorously praised Gao Lishi's discerning beauty, and later felt that the verbal praise was not enough to highlight his merits, so he simply named him the hussar general, and among all the generals, he was the champion of the certainty. He was so happy that he couldn't keep his mouth shut.
However, Tang Xuanzong told him not to be busy smirking and smirking first, but to complete a glorious and arduous task before he could be happy. This task is to get Jiang Caiping into the palace to be Tang Xuanzong's concubine.
Gao Lishi excitedly led a group of men to the Caiping Inn. The first thing to do was to expel the diners who didn't matter, and then gather all the staff of the Caiping Inn in one place.
Jiang Zhongxun, Li Shi and Wanda were so frightened that they thought that Gao Lishi had a grievance after food poisoning, and now they came to take revenge.
Liang Xingfa, Wang Lun, Jiang Caiping**** and others feel that everything is going naturally, and cutting off their heads is just a big scar in the bowl, and they are a good man after 20 years.
Sure enough, Colliers told them all to kneel down and listen to him read the decree. Except for Liang Xingfa, the rest of the people had never seen the reading of the holy decree, and their eyes were staring directly at Gao Lishi, making Gao Lishi all over the body, and loudly scolded them to lower their heads and not to offend Long Wei.
I only heard Gao Lishi read in a weird way: "Fengtian carriers, the emperor edict ......"
Liang Xingfa didn't understand what was read in the middle, but he could hear the general meaning. It turned out that Tang Xuanzong wanted to seal Jiang Caiping as Concubine Mei. As a result, Liang Xingfa's heart was mixed.
After Gao Lishi finished reading, he asked Jiang Caiping to take the order. Jiang Caiping is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she knows what is in front of her. If it was other girls, they would have already run over to receive the decree, and being able to be the emperor's concubine means that they will enjoy endless glory and wealth in the future, be superior to others everywhere, and be able to glorify their ancestors, and the people around them will follow the chicken dog to heaven. Countless people will try their best to get out of it. What dignity and pride.
Gao Lishi and everyone else thought that Jiang Caiping would be flattered, and then wept and trembled and took the holy decree to thank the emperor for his grace.
To everyone's surprise, Jiang Caiping asked Gao Lishi without any joy if he could not accept the holy decree?
Gao Lishi was taken aback, but quickly came back to his senses and changed into a fierce face and shouted, "Failure to accept the holy decree is a crime of the Nine Clans. Gao Lishi was afraid that if he couldn't complete the task, Tang Xuanzong would cut him off from his position as a hussar general.
Jiang Caiping shed two lines of tears, she was unwilling to enter the harem to compete for love with those vulgar fans, nor was she willing to marry an old man who was about to die. is even more reluctant to leave with Liang Xingfa and his father Jiang Zhongxun. She thinks that she is happy that her current life is colorful.
Jiang Zhongxun also doesn't want his daughter to marry into the deep palace, once she enters a wealthy family, it is as deep as the sea, and it is difficult to see each other in the future, and besides, he is like a tiger, and he accidentally loses his head.
Gao Lishi saw that Jiang Caiping was indifferent, his face became more and more ugly, and he was about to go crazy. It's as easy for these high-ranking people to kill them as it is to trample an ant to death.
Liang Xingfa hurriedly signaled Jiang Caiping to talk about the holy decree first, and the hero will not suffer the loss in front of him. You have to survive before you can figure out a way.
Jiang Caiping was relieved to see Liang Xingfa say this, so she received the holy decree and thanked Long En.
Gao Lishi smiled all over his face, and was respectful to Jiang Caiping, and Concubine Mei kept shouting. After all, Jiang Caiping is also the master of Gaolishi after entering the deep palace, so he has to win Jiang Caiping's favor now, so that he can have a better life in the future.
The rest of the people were also quite excited to see that the crisis had passed, but they didn't know whether to congratulate or comfort Jiang Caiping's steady progress.
Jiang Caiping was extremely tired of Gao Lishi's servile face, and scolded him for leaving here first, so as not to be murderous when he saw him.
Colliers was thankless and had to leave in a huff. Before leaving, he also informed Jiang Caiping that two days later, he arranged for a car to come over to welcome her into the palace. She was so angry that she kicked a table away. provoked everyone to look at her with admiration, and usually Si Svenwen has such a powerful destructive power.
Jiang Caiping cried and asked her father Jiang Zhongxun: "Daddy, what should I do." I don't want to enter the palace to be a concubine, I just want to accompany you to the end of your life. ”
Jiang Zhongxun also cried and said, "I don't want you to marry in that place where people don't stay." But the will of the Divine is hard to violate, it is really bitter for you, child. ”
Wang Lun said: "This old emperor has so many women, it's not enough, can he afford it." When I see a beautiful woman, I have to rob it, and even my daughter-in-law Yang Yuhuan is not enough to toss. In my opinion, you should just run away, as far as you can, and never come back. ”
Wanda said, "You're too simple-minded. The world is not the king's land, where can you flee to? Jiang Zhongxun is a lot old, how can he withstand the fatigue of the journey. Besides, what the emperor wants must have been sent to watch it a long time ago. The ending must have been arrested before he ran out of Chang'an. ”
Wang Lun slapped the table and said, "Hmph, I don't believe in this evil." ”
Liang Xingfa said: "Actually, Wanda is right, and escaping is not the best policy. We've got two days left, and maybe we'll have a way to fool it around. ”
Jiang Caiping took his hand and said, "You must save me this time." ”
Liang Xingfa said: "Yes, let's ride a donkey and read the record book and see." In fact, he said this to comfort her and save her from being so sad, and he was not 100% sure if there was a safe way in the end.
