Chapter 64: Sunset Lakeside
Double Ninth Festival, red and bright dogwood hairpin, the palace skirt is cumbersome and luxurious, put on the three layers of silk embroidered with cumbersome fancy underwear, tie a five-finger wide belt, put on the last coat, the material is the precious cloud silk in the south of the Yangtze River, and the embroidery comes from the famous embroidery lady in Jiancheng. The color is white and red, faintly transparent, reflecting the fancy and color on the underwear.
One step at a time, with a jade pendant hanging on his waist, a sachet, stepping on the pink embroidered shoes customized by the imperial city, the hair style is simple and generous, and the thin velvet hair on the forehead flies up mischievously.
Xiaoran's mouth smiled from the moment he saw me today, and the vermilion dogwood hairpin jingled and was inserted in my hair, which was a kind of icing on the cake.
While I was applying lipstick, she began to tell her a lot of big truths, oh no, maybe the Queen Mother told her to explain to me, but not necessarily.
"Princess, in today's banquet, there are the eldest daughter of the Li Bingbu Shilang family, the three young ladies of the Sun Shangshu family, the brothers and sisters of the He family of the Chazhuang clan, the young lady who went this time, the identities are all one of the most noble people in the imperial city, among which the little son of the He family is too young, but twelve, but the son of the Ma family has reached the marriageable age, only three years older than the princess, handsome, talented, is the third of the four sons of the imperial city, because the age difference between the four sons is very large, the first two sons have already married and had children, and the remaining third and fourth, because of the indulgence in landscapes, they have been drinking together all day long, writing poems and paintings, and have a romantic temperament, the fourth is the beloved son of Mrs. Che's family, the same age as the princess, I heard that the peach blossoms were born when the peach blossoms bloomed all over the west slopes, only seven months older than the princess, the background of the family must have heard of the princess, the mother is not only a hundred years of the clan, the father is also an important minister in the court, the queen mother and her old man let the princess pay more attention to the son of the Che family. ”
Sure enough, I knew that these words could not come from Xiaoran's mouth, the last sentence, sure enough, the Queen Mother and her old man wanted to find me a family.
If you want to recruit a virtuous person, you can recruit a horse master for me.
I glanced at her, her excited face was redder than seeing the object of her heart, and the boys she talked about seemed to really attract the attention of women.
"Princess, did you listen?"
"Bengong heard it, let's go, I won't be able to catch up in a while. ”
"Oh, yes, I don't have time later, I still have to go to the palace, there is still half an hour's journey from the palace to Sunset Lake, why do we have to set off, otherwise we should settle the truth later." ”
Sunset Lake, the name of the Double Ninth Festival, not only for the occasion, but also to climb the West Mountain by the lake, such a pleasant thing, is indeed the idea that the idle Miss Childe who has nothing to do all day can come up with.
Because I had to climb the mountain and take a boat, my hair accessories were simple, and my clothes were much simpler than my usual clothes, at least two layers of clothing were missing.
On weekdays, standing at the head of the imperial city wall, you can enjoy the West Mountain under the sunset, but they are all across the city, the only time to climb to the top of the mountain is because of the cloud climbing inn out, the night from the West Mountain turned down, hurriedly rushed to the city, the West Mountain enjoyed in the middle of the night has a different flavor, not only there are flowing fireflies in the sky, but also the starry sky like ink.
The car was rolling and gurgling, and I sat alone on the soft couch, thinking about it completely, thinking about it, and cheekily going to Changtu to find out how the situation was.
Xiaoran's heart is very big, not only can she fit all the young ladies and sons of the family in this imperial city, but also can take care of my diet and daily life, and at the same time, she can also maneuver around the queen mother, which I really admire her.
She was jogging on the road, running with her head down and small steps, the palace stipulates that women cannot walk more than five inches, and Gong'e needs to keep her head down when she walks in the palace, but she didn't expect her to bring the set in the palace to the outside of the palace.
I asked her out loud: "Xiaoran, tell this palace about the matter of Mrs. Che's son." ”
She looked up at me through the window, not noticing her feet, and her steps were much lighter.
"Back to the princess, the son of Mrs. Che, not only has excellent literary talents, but also can martial arts, and her appearance is even more integrated with Mrs. Che's handsomeness, Mrs. Che's dignified and generous, and the one who gave birth is good, just like, just like the Suyuan Daoist in the palace, the temperament is like a withdrawal, but because of his young age, he has not precipitated the Suyuan Daoist to be as pampered and humiliated. ”
"Oh, what about his deeds?"
She simply answered the question, and talked about the benefits of Mrs. Che's son, but what about his shortcomings?
She seemed to be in trouble, scratching left and right without answering.
"This, princess, do you want to hear good deeds or bad deeds, Your Highness?"
"Say just one, listen to this palace, and it will be better to position him more accurately. ”
"Oh, well, princess, have you ever heard of the book written by the Bow of Surprise three years ago, and the captive who was once born and became famous all over the world?"
"Not yet. ”
Three years ago, an old man who entered the palace examination, once because he participated in various examinations all the year round, tried every three years, because of the perennial delay in the lower examinations, he only participated in the children's examination at the age of forty, because he got the top three, and finally entered the palace examination when he was sixty years old, at that time his body was very poor, Baili Min did not look at it, I heard that when he was as old as sixty years old, he was directly brushed down, and as the only son of the Che family, Che Boyan, the word initiates, his poetry friends all called a sentence of four repairs, the master of the Buddha said: four repairs, oneRespectful cultivation, also known as respect cultivation, that is, reciting the Buddha and the holy image with respect from the heart, without slackening; second, no surplus cultivation, that is, the two kinds of merit and wisdom, with cultivation without lacking; third, uninterrupted cultivation, that is, courageous and diligent progress, without interruption; fourth, long-term cultivation, that is, decades as a day, until death.
At the same time, it is also because he is the fourth of the four sons of Shumo.
At the beginning, he won the championship in one fell swoop, but because of the emperor's unfairness, he did not interview that character in person, causing him to crash to death on the lion statue in front of the palace gate.
At that time, it caused protests all over the country, and everyone all repaired a book, accusing the imperial court of the injustice of the imperial examination system, and in the words, there were also accusations of the emperor's absurdity, and most of the letters were confiscated and burned by the local government before they reached the emperor's hands, and troops were sent to chase down the people in the school who had set off the book at that time.
Che Boyan heard that he was in the palace at the time, but he never knew that at the same time as his gold list inscription, there were other people's bones that were not cold, he was angry, tore up the pleadings, and made it clear that he was not the new champion appointed by the emperor, and collected the students' letters everywhere, and finally wrote all the books to the emperor.
After the incident of the bow to the book, he was banned by the emperor from participating in the scientific examination for life, and the road to fame through the scientific examination was cut off, and the imperial examination system was changed, but he was still standing still. Although he can inherit the official position of his father in the family, but after that, he has placed his affection on the mountains and rivers, and does not ask about the affairs of officialdom at all.
He was only nine years old at the time, facing the pressure of the enemy, he did not show any danger on his face, but instead put pen to paper to make the eternal swan song of the next captivity.
At that time, it was recognized by many talented people in the world, and the method used in it was of great significance, and it was printed in a book and became a classic, and it was often quoted as a teaching material in the school.
Under the brilliance of the supernatural powers of the year, he became famous all over the world in one fell swoop, and then he jumped into the Dragon Gate, the title of the gold list, but the incident of the bow and the book of the year, otherwise the current Che Boyan may have been in the officialdom as a whole.
Now that he is getting older, he indulges in mountains and rivers all the year round, and his temperament is much calmer and more introverted than in the past.
Xiaoran's opinion on Che Boyan, I think it is more of a meaningless worship and infatuation, so that a person who became famous at a young age, under that circumstance at that time, could still make a sacrifice to the world and sacrifice his ego, and become the son of the world's hard work, and it is natural to be praised and followed by everyone.
But unfortunately, I'm the opposite, and after hearing about these things, I have nothing more than two words to say about him: stupid.
But any smart person who chose to enter the official career first, and then relied on his own strength to reform the examination at that time, would have been better and better than him tearing up the pleadings and resolutely refusing the emperor's handpicking.
The indispensable thing to become famous at a young age is frivolous, and when he is high-spirited, he impulsively does stupid things, and I don't think it's a different matter, but in terms of what he is doing now, I already think he is a waste. The road of literature is broken, isn't it still martial arts?
Why should he be distracted by his playthings and wander among the mountains and rivers? Moreover, with his mother's strength? His father's tirade is extremely verbose, and his character should not be so lazy and talented.
Of course, these are all words that I have not seen before.
Soon arrived at the pavilion where the sunset lake met, because it was all a gathering of the children of dignitaries, today it was strictly guarded, and while the guards outside were guarding, there was also a steward who specially claimed the invitation.
In this place where the carriages were next to each other, we chose a vacant corner to park the vehicles.
Then Xiaoran helped me get out of the car, and the front in the distance was very lively, and it seemed that they were almost there. I stepped on broken steps and walked over.
The pavilion was already full of young ladies from official families, and Brother Gongzi gathered on the grass by the lake, which was only an approximate gathering point, and the individual young ladies and sons who were scattered here and there had to be another matter.
Everyone's head or chest is covered with red dogwood, and the festive atmosphere is very grand.
Xiaoran was close to my ear and whispered to me that everyone over there was who they were, and the situation at home, the people in the pavilion were all introduced, but the young brother who was far away didn't have time to introduce it, and a group of official ladies got up and saluted me.
When they stand together, I have a feeling that a hundred flowers are blooming and a hundred birds are singing, but the temperament is different in the delicate, especially one or two young ladies whose temperament and face are particularly outstanding and eye-catching.
They are the eldest daughters of the Li Bingbu Shilang family and the daughters of the He family of the Chazhuang clan.
