Chapter 138: The Great Chaos (Part II)
It's been a long time since she's felt the mountain breeze so fresh and scented with cherry blossoms.
Gu Yuntang raised his head and glanced at the cluster of mountain cherry blossoms halfway up the mountain, the pink cherry blossoms were still so dazzling in the sunset.
Retracting his gaze, following the path of the winding mountain, Gu Yuntang went down the mountain and returned to the Zhuangzi located halfway up the mountain.
This Zhuangzi is one of the relics left to her by her mother many years ago.
Everything in the Zhuangzi was arranged by the mother according to her preferences, and it has not changed for more than ten years.
Mama Tang, who was sitting at the gate of the courtyard peeling lentils, watched Gu Yuntang enter the courtyard, her face was flushed, as if the wind was blowing, she put down the lentils in her hand and hurriedly walked over.
"Girl, are you going to the mountains to see the cherry blossoms again? The girl has been seriously ill these days, and she can't go up the mountain to blow the wind anymore! After all, we live in the mountains, and this is a cold spring, but it's amazing. If you accidentally catch a cold again, you can't get out of bed if you don't lie down for ten days and half a month. ”
"Before my wife died, she asked the old slave to take care of the girl, so she couldn't let the girl give up on herself."
Mama Tang's appearance when she chattered was no worse than when her mother was alive.
It's just that his face is a little older, and he has a few more words.
Mama Tang's eyes swirled in front of and behind Gu Yuntang for a long time, and she didn't see the kidney beans that were serving the girl closely, and she picked up a handful of green onions in the vegetable basket, and she was about to burst out.
"Girl, what is this little girl sitting on again? Didn't you steal the nectar that the old slave brewed a few days ago?"
"Those hundred flowers are to cure the girl's cough, and a few days ago I asked the little girl to eat half a jar secretly, and the remaining half jar has to be mixed with water for the girl to drink."
Seeing Mama Tang's face become fierce, it seems that the half jar of nectar is still very important in her heart.
After all, the Mama Tang in front of her is the person who has been by her side since she was a child.
Knowing that potpourri nectar could cure her cough, Mama Tang tried her best to use the lentils she planted to trade with the beekeepers in the mountains in exchange for a jar of potpourri nectar.
Mama Tang usually puts this jar of nectar in the high pavilion, and only when Gu Yuntang coughs non-stop, will she take it off, dig a spoonful out, and mix it with water for her to drink.
"I sent the kidney beans to the bottom of the mountain to help the beekeepers collect honey. Two days ago, she went to the beekeeper's house to steal the nectar of a hundred flowers, although they did not blame, but I was not happy to go, so I sent away. You don't blame her! ”
Gu Yuntang said, his eyes fell on Mama Tang opposite.
Mama Tang also looked at her, saw that her face gradually became rosy, and sighed, with a full smile on her face.
"In that case, let her help! We'll have dinner later, just leave some for her. ”
Gu Yuntang nodded, no longer spoke, but followed Mama Tang's steps and went to the stove where she was eating.
The dinner soup has been prepared, it is an extremely simple two dishes and one soup, the dishes are fresh fruits and vegetables from the mountains, chrysanthemum and mustard greens, chrysanthemum vegetables have passed the lard, and it is very refreshing to eat.
After the mustard greens are boiled in water, the bitterness is much lighter, and it tastes a little sweeter.
Mama Tang watched Gu Yuntang hurriedly eat a few bites of food, then stopped her chopsticks, she hurriedly scooped a bowl of soup boiled with ham and handed it over.
Watching Gu Yuntang gobble down the bowl of ham and bamboo shoot soup with a bit of meat, Mama Tang's eyes gradually turned red.
"The girl just has a bad fate! The lady went early, and the lord married a new daughter-in-law, for fear that the step-lady would harshly criticize the girl, so the lord asked the old slave to take the girl to live in the Zhuangzi left by the lady when she was alive. I didn't think that this stay was more than ten years! It's a bitter girl. ”
Mama Tang said that these days are hard, but Gu Yuntang feels that it is not bitter at all.
When she was a child, she lived in the villa with Mama Tang, which was the happiest time she missed the most in the palace in her previous life.
The days in the palace are unbearable, and they can only be supported by memories.
Otherwise, she would be the same as those people, who couldn't stand up and went with the first emperor.
The twenty-fifth year of Dawei was the first time she entered the palace as a priest in her previous life.
At that time, she was just a small female official in the Qin Heavenly Prison, and the first emperor saw that she looked good, so he left her in the palace to serve.
In the thirtieth year of the Great Wei Dynasty, the first emperor died suddenly, and the crown prince ascended the throne, that is, the Emperor of the Apocalypse who was later ridiculed by rumors for killing his father and brother.
Although Emperor Tianqi knew that she was the person who had served by the side of the first emperor, he treated her with great courtesy and promised her the position of the envoy of the Qin Heavenly Prison.
Emperor Apocalypse ascended the throne for only half a month, and King Han, who had been guarding the border passes, returned to Beijing with his troops privately, borrowed the key waist card given by the first emperor, and led the men and horses into the palace.
She died in the massacre that night.
King Han is the third son of the first emperor, and his temperament is most like that of the first emperor.
said that she charmed the first emperor with demon methods, and asked the first emperor to change his edict before his death, so that the emperor of the apocalypse ascended the throne, killed her in the palace of Qin Tianjian, and died on her favorite astrolabe.
She still remembered that night when the emperor star fell, the stars were chaotic, and the stars shifted.
Perhaps the astrolabe knew she had a grudge and sent her back twenty years ago to be reborn again.
If it weren't for killing the first emperor and serving King Zhao in the palace, with his prestige in the court at that time, it would be difficult for him to succeed in ascending the throne.
However, King Han said that she charmed the first emperor with demon methods, which is really nonsense, the first emperor and her are irreversible friends, the first emperor regards her as a confidant, and she has also entered the heart of the first emperor, how can she harm him?
Since the astrolabe has allowed her to relive this life, she hopes to use her own strength to protect the first emperor.
Protect the first Ming monarch in the two hundred years since the founding of the Great Wei Dynasty!
"Girl, girl! What are you thinking about again? Do you miss your wife again? Yesterday the old slave was serving in your room, and you fell asleep, as if in your sleep, and called out a few words of your wife's name. ”
"In a few days, it will be Qingming, Mrs. is buried in Qingfeng Mountain, not far from here, if the girl is not too far away, she will go with the old slave to worship Mrs."
Mama Tang's voice pulled Gu Yuntang's thoughts back.
Over the years, she has even forgotten her mother's death day?
If it hadn't been for Mama Tang's reminder, she might not have remembered it.
My mother didn't have it on that spring day five years ago.
Her mother is the eldest daughter of the first family of the Great Wei Dynasty, the princess of Qi, and her father Xu Wei's marriage was set by the two parents a long time ago.
However, after her mother gave birth to her brother and her, she was estranged from her father and had conflicts, and after living in Zhuangzi in the mountains for a few days, he disappeared for no apparent reason.
As for how her mother didn't, she was young at that time and her memory was vague, and she doesn't remember much now.
