Chapter 371: Cutting and Sorting Out (1)
6857
Concubine Yan De is very quiet and not moving, even if today is a sunny day for more than ten days, she has never left the allergy palace, just quietly sat on the round chair in front of the table, delicately outlining the female red, but seeing that a pair of skillful hands turned up and down, between the needles and threads, a picture of hibiscus out of the water has quietly appeared on the brocade robe, the pale red hibiscus flowers, turquoise lotus leaves, the microwave light water surface and a few naughty jumping out of the water are all vivid, even the water beads splashed by the fish are vivid, It makes people feel the pleasure of falling in love when they see it.
"Niangniang, the martial artist is here." Just as Concubine Yan De was busy sketching the last few threads, Qin Wuyong, the chief eunuch of Min'an Palace, hurriedly walked in and reported in a low voice.
"Huh?" Concubine Yan De stopped the needlework in her hand, frowned quickly, and sighed lightly, but she didn't open her mouth to tell whether to invite, but she couldn't help but have doubts in her heart - since she returned to Wu Meiniang to come to Min'an Palace for the prince to say that Xiang was reprimanded by Concubine Yan De, the relationship between the cousins has faded a lot, Concubine Yan De will not lower her body to go to Wu Meiniang's place, and Wu Meiniang also seems to be interested in alienating Concubine Yan De, in the past few months, except for coming to worship once during the New Year, she has never been on the door of the Allergy Palace. On the occasion of the Xiangzhou military food case full of turmoil in the city, Wu Meiniang ran to the door, if there is nothing strange in it, how can Concubine Yan De believe it, but now the situation is unpredictable, God knows that the cloud will rain, whether to see or not to see Concubine Yan De has to be cautious.
"Let's let her in." Concubine Yan De groaned for a while, but at the end she was still not emotional, sighed slightly, and calmly commanded.
"Yes, the old slave obeys." Qin Wuyong has been following Concubine Yan De for a long time, knowing Concubine Yan De's temperament, although he despises Wu Meiniang's behavior of not abiding by women's morals and messing with the harem, he didn't dare to say anything in front of Concubine Yan De, so he responded respectfully, swept the dust, and withdrew from the room.
"Oh, what a beautiful pattern, my sister's hands are so skillful, it seems that this kind of splendid Mei Niang can't do it, and only my sister can do it in the palace, which really makes Mei Niang envious." As soon as Wu Meiniang entered the room, when she saw the splendid picture in Concubine Yan De's hand, she immediately pasted it, and sang the praise song with a clever smile, her mouth was as sweet as sticky honey, as if the sisters had never been separated.
Concubine Yan De was not complacent because of Wu Meiniang's praise, she just smiled faintly, put down the work she was embroidering, and said with a smile: "Meiniang is here, hurry, take a seat." Concubine Yan De gave this order, and the palace maids waiting on the side hurriedly brought round chairs and served freshly brewed fragrant tea.
"Sister, it's rare to have a sunny day today, you don't go for a walk, it's not a thing to be in the palace all day long, but the peony flowers in the back garden are all blooming, why don't you Mei Niang accompany your sister to relax?" Wu Meiniang picked up the tea bowl, took a shallow sip, and asked with a smile.
Concubine Yan De is a demure character, and does not like to move around more, but she likes flowers and plants, in front of the Min'an Palace, after the palace is planted with young and old, but in general, Meilan bamboo chrysanthemum is the mainstay, there are also a few bushes of peonies, peonies are in, just buds, there is still some time before opening, Wu Meiniang mentioned that the peony flowers in the back garden have bloomed, but it can be regarded as the intention of Yan Defei, but now the situation is weird, Yan Defei does not want to get too close to Wu Meiniang, and she refuses to go with Wu Meiniang to enjoy the flowers, so she smiled and said:" Mei Niang is very interested, my sister still has some work at hand that has not been completed, and in a few days there are merchants going to Anxi, and my sister is in a hurry to let people send some clothes to Xiao Chun'er, so I will not accompany Mei Niang. ”
"Sister is really, some clothes have to be sent thousands of miles, Xiao Chunzi is really blessed, if you want me to say, Brother Zhen has married several rooms in a row, and there must be a place for skill, there is no need for Sister to be so busy, Sister loves Brother Zhen so much, it is really enviable." Wu Meiniang was very shrewd, as soon as she heard Concubine Yan De's words, she already knew the meaning of the words, and she no longer dwelled on the matter of appreciating flowers, but smiled and led the topic to Li Chun, the king of Huainan.
"It's different, the house is in the house, my sister does this, I can't take care of Xiao Chun'er in person, I can do some for Xiao Chun'er." As soon as she remembered that her eldest grandson had been born and was now one and a half years old, but she hadn't been able to see it yet, Concubine Yan De's heart was a little painful, she stretched out her sleeves to wipe away the tears that inadvertently appeared in the corners of her eyes, and explained with a smile.
"Sister is really a kind person, hehe, Brother Zhen is now famous all over the world, swallowing all directions, sweeping **, good birth, all of them are the merits of my sister's teachings, if you want me to say, my sister is really a good person, Mei Niang is envious to death." Wu Meiniang flattered half-truthfully, but she couldn't help but feel a sour feeling in her heart, but she didn't know whether she was going to Concubine Yan De or Li Zhen.
No one who is a mother will not like others to praise their son for his talent, even if Concubine Yan De is a person who can be regarded as a pure-hearted person with few desires, at this time, seeing Wu Meiniang say this, she immediately laughed and said: "Meiniang is a false award, Zhen'er has been advocating since she was a child, and her ability is also taught by His Majesty, and my sister does not dare to be greedy." ”
Wu Meiniang deliberately wanted to introduce the topic to Li Zhen, at this time, seeing that Concubine Yan De talked about Li Zhen, she refused to let go of this topic, as soon as Concubine Yan De's voice fell, Wu Meiniang rolled her eyes, and said with a smile: "Sister, Mei Niang heard that now Brother Zhen is leading the troops and fighting fiercely with Xue Yantuo, but she can't live in peace in her heart, alas, Brother Zhen has few soldiers, if there is no shortage of food, how can it be good?" ”
What kind of person is Concubine Yan De, as soon as she heard Wu Meiniang's words hidden in her words, she immediately woke up, and glanced at Wu Meiniang deeply, but she didn't speak immediately - Concubine Yan De knew about Li Zhen's expedition to Northern Xinjiang, of course, Concubine Yan Defei didn't know the specific battle situation, but she knew that now the Tang Army of Anxi and the army of the Xue Yantuo Khanate were in a stalemate. Since he also knew the importance of logistics supply to an army, at this time, he heard Wu Meiniang's words that were tired, and his brows wrinkled slightly, and he groaned slightly, and said very unceremoniously: "Mei Niang, the court has its own system, and the important military and political affairs are not something that the harem can predict, so don't talk about this matter." ”
Concubine Yan De's words were extremely unpolite, faintly implicating the eviction order, but Wu Meiniang didn't care at all, the purpose of her coming this time was to convey some news to Concubine Yan De, so even if Concubine Yan De didn't want to hear it, she also wanted to say it, at this time, seeing Concubine Yan De's face sank, Wu Meiniang laughed and said: "Sister, you, you are a porcelain person, Mei Niang also heard that this time the military rations in Xiangzhou can't be adjusted, and the head of the household department will hit the idea to Longyou, and I don't know if it's true or not. Mei Niang was worried that Brother Zhen would suffer, so she hurried to speak, if my sister didn't want to hear it, then it would be better if Mei Niang didn't say it. ”
Li Shimin's expedition to Goguryeo made a lot of noise, in addition to daily use, most of the country's grain was transferred to the direction of Liaodong, that is, because of Li Zhen's expedition to the northern Xinjiang, the grain and grass in Longyou were not transferred, but transferred by the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, and now the front-line war is unknown, and someone plans to transfer the grain and grass in Longyou, this news really surprised Concubine Yan De, although her face is still very calm, but her heart is tumbling away, while worrying about Li Zhen's war in northern Xinjiang, while speculating about Wu Meiniang's intentions in saying this, was silent for a while, and did not open his mouth to ask about the source of the news that Wu Meiniang said.
"Ah, it's not too early, Mei Niang still has some trivial matters to deal with, so I won't bother my sister, Mei Niang will leave." Wu Meiniang saw that the words had arrived, and she didn't want to stay any longer, so she stood up as if she suddenly remembered something very important, and said a word coincidentally.
"Since Mei Niang has something, my sister won't keep you more, Qin Wuyong, send Mei Niang out of the palace." Concubine Yan De had something in her heart, and she didn't want to keep Wu Meiniang more, so she got up, smiled and ordered Qin Wuyong to send Wu Meiniang out, but she sat at the table and frowned and pondered.
"Niangniang, I'm afraid that the words of martial artists are not all untrue, you really don't have to care too much." Qin Wuyong has followed Concubine Yan De for nearly twenty years, and has always been loyal to Concubine Yan De, but he is the most obedient person around Concubine Yan De, and when he saw Concubine Yan De's face was not good, he hurriedly stepped forward and whispered a word of comfort.
"Wuyong, you don't understand." Concubine Yan De didn't explain much, just shook her hand, stopped Qin Wuyong's words, pondered for a while, and said: "Wuyong, you personally go to the Yue Palace, and send all the small things prepared by the palace, well, just transfer the original words of the martial artist to Mr. Na, and he will know how to do it." ”
"Yes, the old slave will do it." Qin Wuyong is a smart person, he knows what to ask, what is not something he can predict, at this time, seeing that Concubine Yan De has already handed over the decision to Nalong, he didn't say anything more, replied respectfully, and commanded the little eunuchs to pack all kinds of things sent to Anxi, prepare to stop, and go to the Yue Wangfu on their own without mentioning it.
"Alas......" After Qin Wuyong left, Concubine Yan De sat at the table for a long time, sighed, got up a little uneasily, paced to the window, silently looked at the flowers in the small garden outside, and fell into contemplation......
Today's rare sunny day, although the four miles are wet everywhere is water, but can not stop people's desire to travel, not only Chang'an City is full of people on the street, is the temple outside the city, the Taoist temple is also the peak of incense, pilgrims are weaving, together the good men and women will be Buddhism and Taoism of the place of rest to make a lot of noise, magnificent, even if it is the Taiping Temple, such as the small Taoist temple that no one came to in the past, the three or five fireworkers in charge of the reception in the temple were tortured to the waist is almost straight, but, The waist bag is also puffed up because of this, this is also a pain and happiness, it is easy to reach the sun is about to set, finally sent the last tourist out of the Taoist temple, the fire workers are also tired like dogs, and they don't care to clean the small Taoist temple that was messed up by the pilgrims, they gathered at the gate to gossip, casually gasping for a while, then, at this moment, an ordinary carriage swayed towards the Taoist temple, and immediately smashed the desire of the fire workers and Taoist priests to be idle.
The visitors were all guests, although they were reluctant, but the fire workers and Taoists still cheered up, and each of them straightened their sleeves, and a slightly older fire worker Taoist stepped forward and said, "Donor, do you have anything to serve the poor?" ”
The carriage was driven by a big man wearing a hat, with his head lowered, unable to see his face clearly, but when he arrived at the door of the Taoist temple, he still sat on the car and did not move, and did not get off the carriage at all, let alone roll up the curtain on the carriage, until the old Taoist priest asked, then he snorted, took out an invitation card from his arms, and did not speak, but raised his hand and handed the invitation to the old Taoist priest.
The old Taoist priest took the invitation, only glanced at it, and his face changed, his body trembled suddenly, and he said, "Donor, please wait, and let the poor Dao go to make a sound." ”
The big man who was driving the car made a gesture of invitation without saying a word, lowered his head, sat upright in the driver's seat, and never moved again. The old Taoist priest looked at the big man who was driving the car, and then looked at the carriage with the door curtain hanging low, and did not say anything more, nodded, and strode into the Taiping Temple, his steps were very steady, and he no longer saw the previous dragging.
"Donor, my viewer has been waiting for a long time, please donor." The old Taoist priest went in and out faster, and after a short time he turned back to the carriage and made a gesture of invitation very respectfully.
The big man who was driving the car raised his head, and a pair of eyes were as sharp as a knife, and those terrifying eyes made the old Taoist priest shudder, and hurriedly retreated a few steps, bowed, put on a defensive posture, and said with a frightened face: "Donor, what do you mean by this?" ”
The big man who was driving the car didn't pay attention to the old Taoist priest who was on guard, just snorted disdainfully, turned sideways, arched his hand to the closed door curtain, and reported in a low voice: "Sir, I have arrived at the ground, please show me down." ”
"yes, got it." A peaceful voice sounded in the carriage, a hand stretched out from behind the curtain, lifted a corner of the curtain, and then, half of his body also leaned out, and the person who came was Na Long, the chief strategist of the Yue Wangfu who stayed in the capital!
Na Long helped the man who drove the car to get out of the carriage, straightened his clothes, and then smiled and bowed to the old Taoist priest who was at a loss, and said with a smile: "There is a Taoist chief in front to lead the way." ”
The old Taoist priest looked at Na Long with a look of surprise on his face, and then peeked at the big man who was driving the car with palpitations, and then he calmed down a little, and said, "The two donors, please." ”
"I'm tired." Na Long smiled and nodded, and did not say more, led by the old Taoist priest in front, walked into the Taoist temple that was really not too big, bypassed the Sanqing Hall in the vestibule, and arrived at a small garden behind the view, just entered the back garden, and immediately heard a melodious sound of the piano drifting with the wind, just looked, and saw a young man in white sitting in the pavilion stroking the qin, a pillar of fragrance on the side, with the sunset in the west and the peony blooming in the garden, it looked extremely elegant and chic.
After the old Taoist priest took Na Long and the two into the back garden, he did not come forward to report, but as soon as he made a head, he whispered a crime and withdrew, but Na Long did not rush forward to say hello, just smiled in the distance, quietly listening to the tune, and the white-clothed young man in the pavilion never raised his head, just closed his eyes slightly, his fingers were lightly picked and twisted slowly, and he let one by one musical notes sway out from his fingertips.
"What a song "Mountains and Flowing Water", Ye Shilang is so interested, Na came to disturb it." At the end of the song, Nalong motioned to the big man who was driving the car to wait in place, but he walked over slowly, arched his hand, and said hello with a smile.
"Oh? Is Mr. Na here, please forgive Ye for being unwelcome, sorry, please take a seat. "The one who played the piano in the garden was Ye Ling, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, at this time, when he heard Na Long open his mouth, he got up with laughter, and bowed down very respectfully and returned the salute, as if he was greeting an old friend, and he never raised the shelf of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites at all.
"Ye Shilang is polite, a certain foreigner is also presumptuous, and I ask Ye Shilang to take care of him." Na Long smiled, flicked his big sleeves, and sat unceremoniously on the futon a few feet behind Ye Ling, looked at Ye Ling with a smile, and stopped talking, waiting for Ye Ling to speak.
"The official title, Fuyun also, if Mr. does not give up, he will call Ye Mou Songcheng, otherwise he can call him Lingqi." Ye Ling glanced at Na Long, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
"I have heard Lingqi for a long time that the monk is elegant and chic, and when I see it today, it is far better than famous, even so, it is a big support." Na Long smiled indifferently, and was not moved by Ye Ling's humility, and accepted Ye Ling's suggestion straightforwardly, which was also chic and simple, but he never asked what Ye Ling's intention was to invite him, as if he was just coming to an ordinary date, and the temperament that such an idler could not simulate was that a high-minded and arrogant person like Ye Ling was secretly heartbroken.
"Does Mr. Na like flowers? The peonies in this garden are in full bloom. Ye Ling smiled and picked up a feather fan from a few sons, shook it gently, and didn't say the intention of inviting Na Long to come, but asked about the flowers.
Na Long was also a chic and heroic person in the past, the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are all fine, and he also has a little study of flower arrangement, but he is not proficient, at this time, he saw Ye Ling asked about flowers for a long time, and he wanted to know a lot about flower arrangement, so he didn't want to show his ugliness, so he simply came to hide it, and said with a smile: "Some, turning into a wild man's ear, it's really unbearable to sit and talk with a gentleman, flowers are good and bad, for a certain person, that is, a cow chews peonies, I don't distinguish between good and bad, but where it blooms, I like it more." ”
"Mr. Na is polite, the flowers bloom and fall sometimes, and the flowers are not far away when they bloom and are afraid of falling, what does Mr. think?" Ye Ling's words changed, and in his words, he had already turned the flower matter into the political situation.
"Oh?" Na Long could understand the subtext of Ye Ling's words, but he didn't speak, he just responded unavoidably, as if he couldn't understand the meaning inside.
"Hehe, Mr. Na is a person who understands flowers, and a certain is just an axe from the class, but Bo Yiyi, it's just that the flowers in the Western Regions are too bright, I'm afraid that ** people are coming." Seeing that Na Long didn't answer, Ye Ling didn't care, he smiled, and his words were amazing, hearing Na Long's brows, and a pair of eyes swept towards Ye Ling like a knife, and Ye Ling was not to be outdone, he also looked at Na Long intently, and the eyes of the two slammed into each other in the air, although there was no sound, but the atmosphere suddenly became tense......
