Chapter Forty-Eight: Filial Piety Is as Great as the Sky
Looking at the fluttering butterflies, Du Hemeng thought about it and laughed long, "Bring a pen and paper!" ”
He drew a young child at the lower right end of the paper, looked back at what he was holding in his hand, made a running motion, and then walked around and drew a giant butterfly in the upper corner of the paper, fifteen meters away.
Du He is not good at painting, but if he writes well, he will not be inferior to painting. Because painting and calligraphy have the same effect, although his paintings are far inferior to calligraphy, but they are not unsightly, and they can still understand the three flavors.
After Du He finished drawing the butterfly, the tip of the pen lightly clicked on the eyes of the butterfly's head, looked down and pulled it into the thorn, and pulled a thin silk thread, and the silk thread went directly to the child's hand.
After the painting is finished, he casually probed the pen, inserted the pen into the incense burner on the side, interrupted the small half-column of incense that had not yet burned out, and said with a smile: "I painted a picture of a naughty boy flying a kite...... How is it? In this way, the slender kite string occupies as much as fifteen meters of the entire page. When he was watching butterflies flying, he accidentally thought of butterfly kites, so he came up with this method.
Since the scroll is full of wins, a thin line will naturally be counted.
Princess Nanping couldn't imagine that Du He would be able to think of such a solution, and she couldn't help but be shocked on the spot. Among the princesses who married them, only Changle married Ruyi Langjun, and the others were almost so-so, where is there such an outstanding character as Du He?
For Changle is jealous and envious, so, a group of people secretly discussed, and made it clear that they wanted to kill Du He's sharp spirit, extinguish his prestige, and calm their hearts. Asking Du He to paint this painting is also meant to make things difficult.
Anyway, this family affair has been decided, and if you can't pass the test, at most it's just that the man loses face, and I haven't heard of an example of a marriage that fell through because he couldn't pass the game.
But Duhe succeeded, he succeeded, and accomplished the almost impossible.
Princess Nanping smiled bitterly and stepped back.
Du He strode forward and came to the last level. The last level keeper is still a princess...... Princess Xiangcheng, she is Li Shimin's first daughter, but she is not a descendant, so it is not her turn to sit as the eldest princess.
"My sister-in-law Du He has seen my eldest sister!" The content of the second level made Du He feel uneasy, and he didn't know what kind of problems he would encounter in this third level.
Princess Xiangcheng seemed to see Du He's nervousness, and covered her mouth and chuckled, "Sister-in-law don't care, I heard that you are the most kind poem, why don't you recite a poem for Changle, if we let us realize your sincerity to Changle, we will let you in!" ”
Du He was slightly stunned, he didn't expect this level to be so simple!
Seeing his puzzled expression, Li Jingye, who came with him, explained in a low voice: "Among His Majesty's princesses, Princess Yi Nanping is the most narrow-minded and the most difficult at making things difficult, while Princess Xiangcheng follows the rules and etiquette and is the most generous princess and will not make things difficult." ”
Du He glanced at him suspiciously, but he looked dignified, as if the words were not out of his mouth at all, and he was secretly funny, but he didn't think about it too much, he couldn't let Changle wait in a hurry, and said in a deep voice: "It's difficult to say goodbye when we meet, and the east wind is powerless." The spring silkworm is dead to the end, and the wax torch turns into ash and tears begin to dry; Xiaojing but the clouds and temples have changed, and the night chant should feel the cold moonlight. There is no way to go to Pengshan, and the blue bird is diligent to visit. ”
Princess Xiangcheng and the people around her were stunned for a while, all of them were red-faced and red-eared, and they were at a loss.
I have to say that although Du He is copying Li Shangyin's love poems, his ability to excerpt is as pure as fire. In the first two sentences, he writes about the misfortunes of love and the state of mind of the lyrical protagonist: due to the barrier of some force, it is difficult for a pair of lovers to meet, and the pain of separation makes her unbearable.
The third or fourth sentences express their thoughts about each other, like a spring silkworm spinning silk, until death. The pain of not being able to meet is endless, like wax tears until the candle burns to ashes. The thoughts will not stop, and the pain will be with you for a lifetime. I have to be attached to it for the rest of my life; Despite the pain, there is only endurance.
The last few sentences show that because of the painful torture, he can't sleep at night, so that his sideburns fall out, his face is haggard, and the deeper his longing, the more he will ignite the desire to meet. Since the meeting was hopeless, he had to ask the messenger to open up.
The whole poem is completely in line with the current artistic conception, and Princess Xiangcheng didn't dare to stop it, and said angrily: "If you want to see it, you can see it, why bother us to say such a great crime, as if we are like sinners through the ages." ”
The palace door finally opened, and Changle also appeared in front of Du He.
Du He looked at it and immediately stopped breathing.
It's hard to imagine that there is such a beautiful woman in the world.
Changle's appearance is the most beautiful woman he has ever seen, and he has seen this face more than 10,000 times, but now she is dressed in a different way. In the past, Changle was moving, weak and delicate, and had a pitiful temperament. As long as she stands anywhere at will, frowning lightly, as long as she is a man, she will have a strong urge to take her into her arms and love her. At the same time, she also has a kind of awe-inspiring and inviolable noble demeanor of a princess, which makes people dare not blaspheme, and it is difficult to extricate herself.
But now she has another style, her appearance is ten times more exaggerated than what she plays on TV. Seeing her outfit, Du He understood what to add to the aristocratic costume.
Her sideburns are arranged in a curved fishing shape, and her sideburns are combed and ethereal like cicada wings, highlighting her perfect melon seed face and affectionate eyes. The slender and graceful, delicate body, with the phoenix crown and green clothes, makes her have a kind of fairy beauty that is beyond all living beings, difficult to climb, and high above.
She wore all kinds of ornaments, but the most eye-catching was the dark green gem hanging from her pink neck and her breast, which was the size of a baby's fist, and the value was that the well-informed Du He could only say four words: "Immeasurable!" ”
With the dark green gem as the center, the gold and gems on the body reflect each other from afar, clear and crystalline, dazzling, but such gorgeous gems and gold can not hide her delicate and refined, that surpasses all the rich and gorgeous temperament.
Behind her, there were more than ten delicate palace maids carrying the tail of her skirt for her.
Luxurious luxury!
Apart from these four words, Du He couldn't find any words to describe it. But I don't think much of it in my heart, she understands Changle's personality, and she is by no means a person of luxury and luxury, and the only explanation is that she attaches importance to this wedding, and attaches importance to a wedding that is only once in her life.
Changle walked towards Du He with shame, stopped in front of her, and raised those finely carved faces, pink cheeks, and smoky eyes, all of which made people's hearts move.
"It's beautiful!" Du He sighed, thinking that such a beautiful woman would be his wife today, and his heart couldn't help but be full of pride and self-satisfaction!
"Let's go!"
Du He and Changle walked side by side, the beauty of the woman and the handsomeness of the man were a pair of beautiful people that everyone admired.
The two said goodbye to Li Shimin together.
Li Shimin looked at the girl he had raised in his mouth for more than ten years, but she had become a member of the Du family, and he couldn't help but feel a little jealous of Du Helai, his eyes were horizontal, and he grinned: "Stinky boy, I handed over my precious girl to you, if I let me know that you can't live with my daughter a little bit, and I don't tear off your skin, I won't be the emperor of the Tang Dynasty!" ”
Du He touched his nose, who am I recruiting to provoke me?
"Father......" Changle shouted.
Li Shimin's face immediately changed, and the fierce look no longer existed, replaced by a soft face like the cow that licked the calf and protected the son.
Du He's heart was cold, he said goodbye to Li Shimin, and the team to greet his relatives walked towards the Horse Mansion.
When he came to the Horse Mansion, the nurse in the palace carried Changle to the door, and Du He stepped forward to help, but found that Du Ruhui and others were already in line, as if they were going to bow down. Du He's face turned white suddenly, and he stood stupidly on the spot, he actually forgot about it, it seemed that his in-laws in the Tang Dynasty saw the princess and bowed down, so that everyone avoided the princess.
Changle made an unexpected move at this time, and before Du Ruhui bent down, he had already knelt on the ground first, "Daughter-in-law Li Liqi to meet her father-in-law and mother-in-law!" ”
In the Tang Dynasty, kneeling was not popular, even if you saw the emperor, you can bend down, and only when you worship your ancestors or some important things will you kneel.
Changle knelt down in public, which was really unexpected by anyone, and most people were stunned by the current scene.
Du Ruyan was too busy to scream. The clan relatives, the Zhang family, and the eldest brother Du Gou behind him all changed their faces greatly, and they avoided Changle one after another, but they bowed down and said: "Since Li Lizhen married into the Du family, she is the Du family, and she kneels down to worship her in-laws, why can't you do it?" She only said her name, but not her title, and obviously didn't see herself as a princess!
Du He, who was standing on the side, was moved, this is my Du He's good wife!
Du He also stepped forward and knelt down beside Changle.
Du Ruhui said angrily: "Stinky boy, at this time, if you don't persuade the princess, you will also join in the fun." ”
Du He's eyes were red, and he bowed and raised his voice: "Daddy, mother, you gave birth to me, raised me, and raised me, love is higher than the sky, better than the sea." Such kindness, if it is not reciprocated, it is no different from a beast. Seeing that the second elder is getting old, but the child is in a military position and is always ready to serve the country, it is really difficult to feel at ease if he can't always be by his side to honor the second elder. Children marry daughters-in-law, not just to pass on the lineage, but more importantly, children need a good daughter-in-law, a good daughter-in-law who can take care of your two elders on behalf of the child, rather than a living Bodhisattva who is enshrined at home but needs the heart of the two elders. Changle is a good daughter-in-law chosen by the child, and the child believes that Changle can replace the child for the second elder to fulfill filial piety. Therefore, Changle is not a high-ranking princess, she is my wife of Du He, and she is the daughter-in-law of your second elder, please fulfill the second elder. ”
Changle also bowed down: "The daughter-in-law also asks the second elder to be fulfilled!" ”
