61. Once Upon a Time. Feng Li (1)

"Listen, Lord Du Yushi is a lonely minister, and the pomp is naturally very great, you are not allowed to lose your honor later! Hey, Yiqiu, what are you crying about, you don't pick up a good life, today is the birthday of the old man, and you have a good end if you touch the mold! And you, Tang Tang! Don't give me a bitter face all day long, our lord will pull you out of the tomb of the living dead, you have to repay your kindness! ”

Tang Tang looked at the fingers that poked in front of him, bowed down, showed a little smile, and looked sideways at the majestic mansion in front of him, thinking: From now on, this is the destination.

In the forty-eighth year of Fengde, it was a year of prosperity in the Imperial History of Fengqi Wu, and all kinds of good things came one after another, so it was natural to have a birthday banquet. For a time, the big officials and small officials were happy to turn around, and the poor families in Pengmen were worried, especially the local officials, who were preparing congratulatory gifts in March.

Where did these corrupt officials get the money, it is not the people's fat and people's anointment, the people complained, and the family set up a spiritual position for Feng Qiwu, wishing that he would die immediately.

This, Feng Qiwu probably didn't expect. At that time, he was proud, sitting on the chief seat, listening to the steward singing the gift list, and enjoying the glory of being praised by thousands of people. When the 'Ten Beautiful Pictures' of the Pishan County Order were read, the guests burst into laughter, and they all sarcastically said that it was difficult for him to send a picture all the way away, which could be regarded as filial piety. When the ten carriages stopped, and the ten beauties descended from above, they couldn't laugh.

There are only ten beauties, nothing unusual, these ten women are all dressed as Xi Shi Wang Huan and Feiyan Yang Feifei, holding different musical instruments, playing good music in ensembles, the fragrance of clothes is fine, the dew of Zhilan is blowing, soft and delicate, and the clouds are subtle. Looking at it from a distance, such as the immortal sending longevity, compared to the bearded eyebrows next to the people, the turbidity and ugliness are ugly, and the judgment is like cloud mud.

Tang Tang is wearing a fluttering placket plain yarn outside, and inside is a bandeau cloud brocade pleated skirt, embroidered with a light water hibiscus on the chest, a snow-white wood hibiscus next to the hairpin of the magpie bun, and a jade flute is blown horizontally. After the song was finished, the ten women stood quietly in the court, bowing their heads and waiting for fate.

The visitors have changed their voices, and they all praised each other, and they don't know that a small place can produce such a stunning color, and they will want to go on a tour in the future, and they brought a sentence of Pishan County Order. After a review, it is natural to look at the reaction of the birthday star, and they all pouted and said that Lord Feng's Yanfu is not shallow, and Yanfu is not shallow!

Feng Qiwu glanced at the courtyard, and couldn't see the face with his head down, so he waved his hand and said, "Reward!" Take it down. ”

Tang Tang had already guessed in his heart that this was the result, the big officials in the capital, what beauty had not suffered. Naturally, I was not disappointed when I didn't have expectations, and the moment I turned around, a man in white clothes brushed over like a wind, leaving a faint fragrance, which smelled very good.

"Lord Feng, I'm late!" The man in white arrived before he entered the house: "Mo Yuan is not talented, and he also sent a volume of "Ten Beautiful Pictures", but it's a pity that Lord Feng didn't even look at the living beauty, and the beauty on this paper is even more eye-catching!" ”

The main hall immediately became noisy, only to hear everyone laughing loudly: "Young Master Bai Wu Daozi is born, Yun Linzi is reincarnated, and Danqing is a thousand people competing for it, although it is a beauty on paper, it must be more moving than a hundred vulgar fans." "I want to invite Young Master Bai Danqing Mobao.

Feng Lin greeted him down the hall and said with a smile: "Bai Gongzi is late, he should be punished!" Feng Qiwu held his head and handed out a small cup, and said: "Although it is a punishment, it can't be punished too harshly, Ni Zhan's 'Yipin' representative, he will be punished harshly, but he will escape." (One of Ni Zhan's aliases is Yun Linzi, Yi, that is, the rabbit who escaped, which originally refers to Ni Zhan's free and easy attitude of not being burdened by external objects, here Feng Qiwu deliberately misinterpreted, with a joking meaning.) ）

Bai Moyuan gladly accepted it, and even said: "This is deafening, it's rare for you to celebrate your birthday, so I'm not afraid to punish me for drinking all the wine in the house." ”

"Young Master Bai's painting is also elegant, and even Yayan should be praised, but he is so elegant and stupid," one person saw that the atmosphere was hot, and stood up more and more to cheer up: "Fang Cai's gift is called ten beautiful pictures, and there happens to be a beautiful woman in white who is very elegant, what do you think she and Young Master Bai look like when they stand together?" ”

Bai Moyuan was slightly stunned, his eyes were only glued to Feng Qiwu's body, how could he notice any white-clothed beauty, but Feng Qiwu deliberately said suddenly: "This official was negligent, and almost made a pair of destined people made in heaven miss it." Butler, you go and call her back, and say that a noble person has taken a fancy to her and wants to worship her. ”

The whole hall laughed, and the housekeeper also bullied Bai Moyuan's politeness and good temper, and shouted loudly at the moment: "Okay-"

Tang Tang and his party had just turned a corner, and someone caught up and stopped them, "The one in white comes with me." ”

Tang Tang didn't know what was going on, he didn't dare to ask if he was unfamiliar with his life, and his fellow female companions thought she had been chosen, and they all cast complex and envious glances - they all came out after thousands of selections, and before leaving, they had a strange personality, and they died headlong, "ten beauties" became "nine beauties", and the parents couldn't do it, but fortunately, the master was resourceful, and reminded that there was a very good posture in the female prisoner, wouldn't it be good to make up the numbers.

Who knew that this number of people would come out on top, but it was really a mountain and a river with no way out, and the willows and flowers were bright and another village.

Tang Tang didn't know what to do, followed the housekeeper, and when he arrived in the court, someone came up to meet the two of them for a short time: "No need, Bai Gongzi doesn't make trouble, get angry seriously, our adults are there to make amends, tell the little one to take this girl down, and the housekeeper will hurry up to the hall to help greet the guests." ”

When Tang Tang heard this, he knew that he had inadvertently made a joke between the gentlemen, and he was so unhappy in his heart, but he knew that as soon as the Houmen entered the deep sea, even serious ladies were not allowed to be willful, not to mention that they were just a gift, not even concubines. He followed the servant back to the main army, and was taken over by an old mother and sent to the second gate.

It was summer, the night was as cool as water, and there was sheng singing and dancing music in the distance. There is a bright moon in the sky, all the families in the world are resting, the women are novel and afraid, and they gather in front of the stairs in the middle of the night, and they have a sense of exchanging their hearts and dispeling loneliness.

Under the stairs, there is a frost-white moonlight, cold and empty, and the private residence of the private world is actually the heavenly toad palace Gui Palace. The women were called back because of the white sun, which was a good thing, and they were already curious in their hearts, and they all pulled her to ask if Lord Feng was tall, short, fat and thin, young or not, and what he had said.

Where did Tang Tang know this, he was so nervous when he performed that he didn't dare to glance at him, and he was called away and turned back halfway, so he immediately blamed him casually, refusing to tell the truth, for fear of making people laugh. When the women were hiding adultery, they all pursed their mouths and said sourly: "Do you still need to ask, haven't you heard people call him an old man, a person who is the imperial history of the capital, where can he be young, as long as he doesn't have white hair, thank God!" ”

The women reported to themselves that they were all daughters of good families, and they remembered that Tang Tang was a female prisoner, but seeing that she was gentle and clean, unlike the demon shrew, who was a traitor and evildoer, they asked her which law she had broken, but it was an unjust crime.

"You haven't broken the law, and it's not an unjust crime, so don't ask." After Tang Tang finished speaking, he turned sideways and remained silent. The past is unbearable, she really doesn't want to mention it more, and it's not easy to publicize such ugly things, do you want to tell them that she is an abandoned woman who has been together, changed Geng posts, and matched others?

Seeing that her attitude was cold and lacking in interest, everyone deliberately distanced herself from her and left her alone. Later, many women came in the house one after another, either one by one, or in batches, and the backyard became lively.

But when there are many people, their mouths are mixed, not to mention that there are so many women, who are fat and thin, all of them are in a charming posture, and they are indispensable to boast of beauty and fight fiercely. Today you take my clothes, tomorrow she steals my powder, and at the end of the day, she will have five quarrels.

After that, somehow, the focus of the struggle suddenly shifted to the capital Yushi, as if because there were a few extremely outstanding, and by coincidence, they were lucky overnight, and since then they have been like being taken by the soul, leaning on the door every day and looking around, waiting for Feng Qiwu to come.

Most of these women have reached the end of the year, and their hearts are easy to move, and there are even mature young women who have been through personnel, and their flirtatious behavior is of unknown origin.

Only Tang Tang didn't participate in it, because she went through some twists and turns, and watched some warmth and coldness, she already felt a little like ashes. She was happy to see the snubbing of her female companions, and when she saw these women fighting passionately for a man who didn't come once a year, it was really boring, so she disdained to deal with them even more. Every day, the family faces the sky, does not fight or grab, but it is more and more like a layman of Buddhism, a Taoist aunt of Hongchen.

However, there is a saying in the world that the tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop.

Tang Tang was bent on avoiding disputes, but he was in the middle of disputes, and there was no reason to be alone. These women heard that Tang Tang was specially sent by Lord Feng to turn back on the day he entered the mansion, and the vinegar juice came out early, and I don't know how to learn that she was a female prisoner who ate prison food, and she had to be idle more and more.

Fortunately, Tang Tang is quite forbearing, and thinks that they are all daughters, why trample on each other, and pity them for not being able to see through, the so-called "spring hatred and autumn sorrow are all self-provoking, who is the beauty of the flower and the moon", they are the stars of creation, if such a face is placed outside, which man does not come to ask?

It's a pity that here, it is destined to be watched and pitied, and he is becoming more and more poisonous, and he relies on bickering every day to consume his beauty and time.

- But any woman, who doesn't expect to find a husband who agrees with her heart to stay with for a hundred years? Who is willing to twist acid and vinegar every day, and be willful and vindictive? Gentle daughters are all raised, this raising is not glory and wealth, but the nourishment of the lover's sincere love - these people are destined to have no chance in this life.

Have you ever known that Tang Tang also had a time to make a wish to the moon.

It's incredible, although she is a woman, she has been obsessed with kung fu since she was a child, and she wants to fight the sword world. I have suffered a lot for this, I played the basic skills according to the drawing book, and I clamored my father to make a wooden sword for her, and I got up before dawn every day to play, and spring went to autumn, never stopping.

Mother saw that her escape was becoming more and more symbolic, as the saying goes, there are women in a family, how good is it if such a beautiful girl is trained to become a mother, won't it hinder her marriage? He took a broom and beat her, and forbade her to play with the sword.

Mother's order can't be disobeyed, and she doesn't want to disobey her own will, Tang Tang is in a dilemma, and finally takes a step back with her mother, she doesn't touch the sword soldiers, and turns to light skills.

Light work? Is it the kung fu that floats around like a fairy? The mother looked at her daughter's beauty and smiled from ear to ear: she will definitely live a fairy-like life in the future!

is also destined for martial arts, Tang Tang met a down-and-out martial artist who was performing in the rivers and lakes. Although the martial artist is just an artist, he has two real skills, and seeing that Tang Tang's roots are wonderful, and he is hardworking, he accepted this female disciple, and only needs two meals a day.

After completing her studies, she was already a sixteen or seventeen eldest girl, and the people who asked for marriage every day broke through the threshold, and her mother did not allow her to go with her master to explore the rivers and lakes, so she wanted to choose a good family for her and send her to a wealthy family to be a noble wife.

Helpless Pengmen small household, where is it easy to climb the noble family, left and right to look at the don't like, so delayed for a few years, the mother gradually became anxious, and if it goes on like this, it will be left as an old girl! I can only reluctantly pick a medium-sized family, and I will send it out on an auspicious day.

Tang Tang is reluctant to marry like this, but how can the eternal truth of "a woman get married"? In addition, her mother was in tears all day long, and she earnestly instructed her:

"My son, you are a soft-hearted child, when you go to someone else's house to be a daughter-in-law, you must be soft-hearted, everyone is not as amiable as us. Again, it's normal for a man to marry a few aunts, the way of husband and wife, tolerance can last a long time, you have to be the grandmother of the main family, don't learn from that little woman who drinks vinegar at every turn, making people laugh. ”

Hearing this, Tang Tang was very sad and couldn't bear to worry his mother. In addition, the man's family sent a matchmaker to visit him twice in three days to see if there was anything that needed to be added, which was really very attentive. Tang Tang looked at the excitement, and gradually looked forward to it: he is him in this life, but I don't know what kind of person it is?

Finally, I didn't care about the shame, and when my father and mother didn't pay attention, I quietly inquired about the matchmaker.

"Oh, good girl!" The matchmaker took Tang Tang's hand and patted it again, and the flesh on her cheeks trembled with laughter: "Speaking of that young master, he is one year older than you, that's really a rarity, he has a gentle temperament, and his appearance is as good as yours, it's a pity...... The body is a little weaker, but there is medicine to regulate, and there is no obstacle at all! ”

When Tang Tang heard that his body was weak, his heart jumped, his face showed some loss, and his eyes dimmed.

This is really different from her original girlish intention. How could a woman who loves to play with swords and can do light work expect to marry a sick and weak man? After marriage, sit next to the window, but what do you say?

When the matchmaker saw this, she thought she was unwilling, and secretly blamed her for being too big, and she didn't look at what kind of family background people had.

"Girl, don't blame the old woman for telling the truth, how many girls who are more thoughtful and have a thicker family background than you want to marry into their family! If nothing else, although his family is just an ordinary rich family, the backing behind him is big - there are people in the imperial city! Speaking hard and straight, even our parents are afraid of three points. If it weren't for the fact that the young master of his family was sick and wanted a poor woman with a hard life to block it, this family might not be your turn! ”

Tang Tang said to him with a red face, and he was faintly unconvinced in his heart - it's not that I love wealth and nobility, it's ...... However, her face turned even redder, it is a fact that her father and mother are bent on climbing, no wonder others, and people don't dislike her for being a poor daughter, right? The three media and six hired relatives are not bad at all, and it is the gift of marrying the wife of the main house.

Wife...... She's going to be someone's wife? …… Tang Tang smiled shyly:

"What you said is, what does my daughter's family know, and what the parents ordered the matchmaker to say, how can there be any reason to be dissatisfied. You are a well-known living moon old man in this county, you said that he is rare, he must be a very rare, I also want to thank you for being honest, so that I have a bottom in my heart, and after marriage, I can also support my in-laws to take care of my husband, so as not to be too hasty. ”

"That's it!" The matchmaker turned her anger into joy: "But don't worry, their son-in-law is very sympathetic and distressing." After you passed, he saw that you were such a beautiful billet, gentle and sensible, and it was too late to love you and pity you. ”

Tang Tang was really speechless now.

The matchmaker ate a few bowls of tea, and patted her chest before leaving: "The old woman swears with a golden signboard, no matter how good this marriage is!" People with the same soft temperament as you, you can't grow old like this, I'd rather bite my tongue off when I eat, and never talk about matchmaking! ”

This oath is ruthless, Tang Tang has no suspicious intentions, and looks forward to the big red sedan chair to be lifted, and his words and deeds are with the shyness of the daughter to be married, and the smile is really beautiful......

But who knows, fate makes people, blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, and the past is no longer recallable, and it only makes me sad when I think about it.
