7-13 Truman's World
An island in Xuanwu Lake was originally a royal garden, built an elegant and exquisite small courtyard, planted with bamboo, all kinds of rare flowers, raising cranes, swans, sika deer and other rare animals, overnight by the Red Shirt Regiment of the engineer company to build a thatched shed, pigsty duck house, flower beds into vegetable fields, bamboo forests into crops, even the small wharf on the painting boat has become a dilapidated small sampan, a group of plainly dressed fishermen were brought overnight to live in this overnight village.
In a small thatched hut near the lake, Zeng Cheng, wearing an indigo cloth skirt, was sitting in front of the stove and cooking the pot, pulling the bellows while handing firewood to the hearth, her white little face was dirty with pot ash, but her expression was very happy, her eyebrows were dancing, while cooking the pot while humming a small tune, the pot was boiling white rice, and there were two fat big fish waiting to be picked up beside her.
After a while, when he goes into the city to sell fish, he will be able to eat a hot meal when he comes home, well, there are two taels of liquor sold from the village liquor store to satisfy his hunger.
Zeng Cheng (now he can't be called Zhu Cheng anymore): The man in his heart is Liu Ziguang, who has not yet completed his house, and now the two of them have left Hongze Lake and moved to live on this paradise-like island, where there are no officers and soldiers, no water bandits, no rich bullies, no excessive taxes, just beloved people, kind neighbors and this lake with blue waters.
Of course, this is all Liu Ziguang told Zeng Cheng's poor eldest princess, the brain tissue has been strongly stimulated, and there has been a severe lack of oxygen, all the memories have stayed in the state before entering the palace, and there is a possibility of deterioration at any time, and if you are not careful, you will become brain-dead.
(Little Orange Orange Don't Shoot Me...) So everyone chose the nearby Xuanwu Lake as a place of recuperation, this lake was originally a royal property, and now it is even more heavily guarded, and there is a forbidden army standing on the shore of the long lake, which strictly prohibits idle people, etc., and those fishing boats close to the lake are specially arranged, and the residents of the fishing village are also strictly trained, and there are rules on how to speak and do things, anyway, Zeng Cheng can't be treated as the eldest princess, just see her as an ordinary fisherman's girl.
In order to treat her daughter's encephalopathy, Nangong Niangniang also took off her phoenix robe, put on a jinghai cloth skirt, lived in a fishing village, and lived a hard life with her daughter, their new home is two thatched houses and a shed without walls, the simple wooden door is also pasted with the Spring Festival couplets and door gods bought during the New Year, the stove is pasted on the stove, the rice jar in the prince's house is full of half a cylinder of rice, the wall is hung with preserved fish, bacon and dried chili peppers, and the new quilt with red silk noodles hidden in the lying cabinet is used when getting married, thinking of the upcoming marriage with his sweetheart, Zeng Cheng's heart is full of sweet feelings.
The meal was cooked, and his sweetheart also returned, Liu Ziguang, who was wearing a short cloth shirt and straw sandals, looked like a real fisherman, according to the script, he gave up his officialdom and accompanied Zeng Cheng to the lake to live in seclusion, and the two fished while plowing the fields, and in a few days they should get married.
"Orange Orange, look at what I bought you." Liu Ziguang tied the sampan to the tree and jumped ashore to shout. Zeng Cheng heard the call, hurriedly took out a small egg-shaped mirror from his arms, hurriedly took a photo, quickly wiped the ashes on his face with his sleeve, and replied crisply: "Here", while running out of the thatched hut, jumping up and down to Liu Ziguang, tilting his head and guessing: "It's a red head rope, right?" ”
"Orange is so smart, not only with a red head rope, but also with a red hijab, a red skirt, and red embroidered shoes." Liu Ziguang opened the furoshiki and counted it like a few treasures for Zeng Cheng.
"How much copper does this cost, is that half a boatload of fish enough? Or buy some cloth, needlework, and come back, and I will do it myself, and it will be suitable for my own handiwork, and it will not cost money. Zeng Cheng was obviously a little distressed, but he was reluctant to let go of those gifts.
"It's not expensive, it only costs a penny, I can earn forty or fifty yuan a day by selling fish, plus our family still has three points of paddy fields, as long as we work hard and have a good life." Liu Ziguang said with a smile, pretending to be a poor fisherman, it is still a little difficult for him, not only to learn to cast nets and fish, but also to learn to get used to the embarrassment of only a few hundred copper plates at home.
"Well, there is a rush on a good day, there are no officials and tax collectors here, and our life will definitely be better." Zeng Cheng said with confidence, and when he looked down, he saw that the straw sandals on Liu Zi's bare feet were broken, and he hurriedly ran back to the thatched hut and took out a new pair of straw sandals and said: "You see that your newly beaten straw sandals are worn out, and you can't work hard in bad shoes, so hurry up and replace them with pairs." Liu Ziguang took the straw sandals and put them on, and couldn't help but praise: "Orange Orange, you are so good, it is my blessing to marry you." ”
"Phew, who's going to marry you." Zeng Cheng's little face was flushed, and he said that he didn't want to marry, but his body couldn't help but snuggle up to Liu Ziguang, Liu Ziguang gently took Zeng Cheng into his arms, the lake was full of sunshine, the spring breeze on the island was beautiful, and the silhouette of a pair of lovers was inlaid with a rose-colored edge by the sunset.
On the willow tree by the lake, two magpies chirped, and the fishermen who returned late on the lake in the distance sang melodious fishing songs, and at this moment, time seemed to have stopped, and the entire Xuanwu Lake was shrouded in the breath of love...... (Damn it's so beautiful....author's press) ************************************************************************** Liu Ziguang paddled the sampan
"Going into the city to sell fish" is actually looking for someone to discuss things, Zhu Youxiao and the queen stayed on the shore, always paying attention to the progress on the island, and my sister wants to marry Liu Ziguang, this is already an ironclad thing, who dares to say half a word at this moment, as for Liu Ziguang is a married man, it was selectively forgotten by everyone, and no one said that the most important thing today is the eldest princess's encephalopathy, which is delayed, and no one can afford to bear it.
But after all, the princess is a princess, she has lost her memory, she is still the daughter of the former emperor, the eldest princess of Jinzhi Yuye, the eldest princess of Jinzhi Yuye, how many pairs of eyes are staring at it in the court, and the matter of castrating the champion Lang two days ago has spread in the upper class society of the capital, everyone knows that this is the black hand of the Marquis of Zhenwu, in order to seize the position of the concubine, those powerful people who eat the ancients are naturally on the side of the traditional concept, and there are really a lot of opposing voices openly and secretly.
No matter how the world opposes Nangong Niangniang and the emperor, they are determined to marry the princess to Liu Ziguang, the princess is a big deal, set the day, set the honor guard, feast the ministers, these things must be Qin Tianjian, the Internal Affairs Office, Honglu Temple, With the participation of the Ministry of Rites and other institutions, Qin Tianjian is a bull's nose of some gods and Taoism, and the Internal Affairs Office is a kind of eunuchs who are flattering and slippery, and they are not afraid of jumping out to oppose it, that is, Honglu Temple and the Ministry of Rites are troublesome, and it is almost impossible for a group of stubborn feudal etiquette guardians to let them support the princess to marry the Marquis of Zhenwu, especially the Ministry of Rites, Shangshu Hou Xun, which is Liu Ziguang's sworn enemy, has caught the handle, and has not to add some blockage to the enemy.
Nangong Niangniang, after this incident, her attitude has taken a 180-degree turn, and she has become a firm supporter of Liu Ziguang, and the previous few times Liu Ziguang rescued them, although the kindness of the two of them was deep, but far less shocking than this time, she used to just help the weak, and the cost was not big, this time Liu Ziguang was playing with the 3,000 ml of blood on her life, which was a big basin, but in her heart, if she had a little selfish distraction, she would not give up her life so much, so Niangniang was really moved and very pleased, and her daughter was so worried about marrying such a person, as for all kinds of secular shackles, let them go where to rest coolly。
What kind of mother has what kind of son, Zhu Youxiao is even more in favor of Liu Ziguang becoming his brother-in-law, and the queen is also firmly on Liu Ziguang's side, as for Liu Ziguang's house, there is a strong voice of approval, Peng Jingrong's sisters even lived in the fishing village on the island in the middle of the lake, and became a trick actor, supporting her husband (brother-in-law) with practical actions. When the princess was on the horse, her eyes lit up, and she meowed to show her support, in fact, she thought of all kinds of delicacies in the imperial dining room, thinking that she could go in and eat casually if she was a relative of Ouchi.
The small days on the island in the middle of the lake continued, and every day Zeng Cheng raised chickens and pigs at home, and repaired fishing nets with the neighbor's little sisters (Peng family sisters made cameos), took red paper, cut window flowers, and so on.
Liu Ziguang went to the lake to fish, and his mother took a sampan into the city to help people wash clothes, but she didn't know that Liu Ziguang and his mother changed their clothes after they went ashore on the boat, and they sat in a sixteen-lift sedan chair and entered the palace to discuss things.
In Cining Palace, Nangong Niangniang sat on the phoenix chair, and the emperor and the queen sat on the left and right, and everyone listened to the impassioned speech of the Ministry of Rites, Shangshu Hou Xun, with a gloomy face.
"It's overstepping! This is the embodiment of the collapse of etiquette, this is the shame of the Ming court, the eldest princess actually wants to marry a married husband as a concubine, it is ridiculous! This will only make the people of the world laugh and make the countries of the world disappointed in our Chinese etiquette, and from now on, the situation of all countries coming to the dynasty will no longer exist. Zhenwuhou, don't look at the old man with such eyes, the old man is definitely not a person who has a personal vendetta, this is all for my Ming system. ”
"That's enough," Nangong Niangniang was already very impatient, her brows were tightly locked, and her expression was extremely unhappy. However, Hou Xun obviously didn't mean to stop, he pounced, knelt on the ground and said: "Niangniang, you are a minister, you have to die, and you must not let the princess marry the Marquis of Zhenwu." ”
"Hou Shangshu, what do you mean?" Zhu Youxiao asked with anger suppressed.
"The minister personally doesn't mean anything, everything should be handled according to the ancestral system, it is nothing more than to select an unmarried man from a good family with both talent and appearance for the mother and the emperor to choose, and then let Qin Tianjian analyze the eight characters of the birthday and pick out the most suitable man and princess to marry, this is the right reason." Hou Xun's righteous and stern face made Zhu Youxiao look very heartwarming, and he couldn't wait to kick on the door in front of him.
"Then the princess herself has no right to choose?" The emperor asked with a sneer.
"What kind of system does a woman's family choose her husband to? Whether it is a folk woman or a royal noble, they can't do such a depraved thing, which is absolutely inappropriate. Hou Xun replied without thinking.
"It's not your daughter, of course you don't feel sorry, the mourning family has heard enough! The daughter of the mourning family has suffered since she was a child, and the Zhu family owes her too much, and now the mourning family has to compensate her well, whoever dares to make the princess uncomfortable for a while, the mourning family will make him uncomfortable for a lifetime! "Niangniang is really angry, she can force the good-tempered Nangong Niangniang to Biaohou Shangshu, and she is also the first person in the ages.
"Chen would rather die than agree! Please think again! "Hou Xun is determined to be an iron-clad minister who will leave a name for the ages, twisting his neck and not letting go.
"You—" The girl's face was black and she couldn't say anything. Hou Xun's face was calm, he knelt on the ground and looked at everyone coldly, this time he really let go, and he would never give up if he didn't make some trouble for Liu Ziguang.
"Hou Shangshu, you may not know the fate of those who have bullied the eldest princess, now let me tell you, since last year, a total of three hundred and fifty-two people have been beheaded, thirteen households have been raided, four have been exterminated, two have been castrated, two magistrates have been dismissed, one has been dismissed, and one has been dismissed from office, all of which have been done by Ben Hou, so you don't want to challenge Ben Hou's patience and determination, the marriage of the eldest princess, you have to do it if you promise, you have to do it if you don't agree." Liu Ziguang couldn't help but stand up and ask Hou for an ultimatum.
As an aside, the day before yesterday, the two sides had a tacit understanding on the extinguishing of the Holy Flame Order, and did not mention it, the real reason was actually the Jinyi Guard sent by our Red Dynasty to protect the Holy Flame Order, and the reason was that the torchbearers on the Gallic side insisted on passing in front of the Municipal Yamen of Paris, and in front of the Municipal Yamen, a huge Tibetan demon monk was planning to seize the Holy Flame Order, all of which were planned and supported by the authorities of the Gallic capitalHe made a very wise decision on the spot, put out the flame on the spot, changed the route, and then ran, making the two Gallic athletes extremely shameless.
Yesterday in San Francisco, the United States, the scene was completely different from Paris, our Ministry of Rites mobilized a large number of people of the Celestial Empire in the United States, the five-star flag covered the snow-capped mountain lice flag with an overwhelming advantage, and the American officials also dispatched countless bronze walls and iron walls to capture many monks, and most of the battles were faster than those of Gaul.
Looking at the red star red flag in the sky of Sanban City, there is a song echoing in my heart at this moment: Five-star red flag, you are my pride, I cheer for you, pray for you, your name is more important than my life... Summary: Who has seen the movie "Truman's World"?
