Chapter 128: Zhongyuan (II)
No one cares about Aunt Luo's funeral, because Mrs. Zhou said that this year, Zhongyuan is deserted, and she wants to move her family to the temple to watch the Dharma, so no one will take care of the new maids and girls in the house.
Yun Zhao remembered that she also taught Xianglan to prepare things to worship the gods. "She was young but left early, and no one cared about her when she went." She only said a few words, and that's it.
In fact, she was unwilling, and before she had time to solve the mystery of painting Dai, she suddenly came to Aunt Luo's bad news.
Xianglan said: "Girl, I have already asked someone to come to the temple to offer a lamp for her. ”
"In the end, people don't even have a person to care about, it's really pitiful." Breath of the Emperor.
Xianglan said: "The girl really thinks that Aunt Luo hanged herself? ”
She suddenly broke through this layer, but she added a lot of troubles.
Yun Zhao hesitated and said, "What do you mean by ......?" ”
"Didn't Aunt Luo ask the girl before she died, to investigate Zhang Pingguo thoroughly? But it's good, as soon as there is an eyebrow, people are out of gas, and it's hard to say that there is no one mixed in it. Xianglan Zhenzhen said.
Yun Zhao sneered: "Aunt Luo's death is true, she can't stand Feng Mansion herself, she died in despair, no matter how pitiful she is, she is just an idiot." ”
Her words were merciless, and she said that the world was hot and cold. It's the same as her previous life, and it's not worth pity when she dies.
Xianglan asked, "Then why does the girl put river lanterns here?" ”
At night, the shadow of the lake was miserable, and no fire candles had been added, only the water lantern and the lantern in his hand were lit. Wan Zhao's eyes were all on the lotus lantern, which was like a real lotus floating in the middle of the lake.
"I miss my old friend." Yun Zhao got up, "There are too many people around me who have passed away. My parents who died young, my grandparents who raised me, and others......"
She died once, and the person to mourn should also be herself. It's a pity that she can only watch her relatives and friends leave her one by one as a surviving person.
Xianglan put half of her arms on her, "You're homesick." ”
"Yes, I miss Luoyang's home, I have lived in warm Luoyang for a long, long time. In spring, look at the peonies in full bloom. Chang'an is also my home. ”
But it was painful for her. She lost her mother, her brother, her father, and later when she entered the palace, others took away her precious things and took away her children. In the end, she had nothing.
Xianglan said with concern: "If Neishi and Mrs. are here, I guess I won't see the girl sigh." ”
Yun Zhao said: "Sima Niu sighed that everyone has brothers, and I died alone." He had a living brother, but my parents and brother died young, and I was left alone. ”
Xianglan said: "In the future, you will have a husband, children, a house and land, and you will not be afraid of those villains being slandered." ”
Yun Zhao said: "I hope so, I only hate the current sojourn life, and I can't come and go at will." ”
Xianglan said: "Isn't there something that can fulfill the girl right now?" There was a hint of speculation in her words.
"It's not that it can't, it's just that the old lady doesn't care about these things for a long time. I don't want to disturb the old lady's purity. Wan Zhao said.
Xianglan hurriedly said: "Aunt Luo died pitifully, the girl really doesn't want to give it a try?" ”
Wan Zhao pondered deeply and said: "There are a bunch of people's decency in it, and if you really want to find out whose person is not, isn't it our sin." Now that the elders are in charge, my juniors naturally have to be obedient in everything and do everything for the elders. Under the big festival, it's not worth it to figure out right and wrong. ”
Xianglan said: "But that Zhang Pingguo is detained in Yiyuan, don't you ask?" ”
"No, no, there are always people who are not easy to mess with, if I really commit public anger, I can't afford it, and my grandmother can't afford it, I'm afraid that life will be even more difficult in the future." Wan Zhao shook his head.
Xianglan said sincerely: "I'm for the good of the girl, you should always think long-term." ”
"I know your heart, but I know that I won't stay here for long. ”
Xianglan said quickly: "You don't know, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Duan are letting Lai Du's daughter-in-law enter Yiyuan, and this matter has long been spread in the mansion." ”
Yun Zhao never inquired about things, only quietly being her lady, no matter the wind and rain, it had nothing to do with her. But she couldn't tolerate anyone who touched her things, "Oh? Tell me more about it. ”
"When the tortoiseshell and Qing Yu came to the mansion, they didn't want to hear the conversation of the princess, and they were afraid of alarming others, so they secretly told me."
Xianglan is Yun Zhao's confidant, so naturally she will not hide things, so she told her everything in the house.
"The Jin family came to trouble Miss Fu with Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Li, the two of them are raccoon dogs, one is waiting for an opportunity to fight back, and the other is like a stone. If they really want to succeed, wouldn't Yiyuan turn the sky upside down. ”
Yun Zhao took a deep breath, "I wanted to punish the disobedient slaves and maids in the mansion, but Yun'er is too soft and has a soft temper, and asking her to help with household affairs will undoubtedly be used by all kinds of people in the mansion." Du Ruoer doesn't know words, doesn't know how to learn, and is full of enthusiasm, and he still owes something to make people surrender. Linlang and Xia Qiniang are all indispensable people around their grandmothers, and although they can handle it properly, they are familiar with how many years they have been here, and they are afraid of offending people. As for the rest, it is not mentioned. It's just you, you can understand me a thing or two. ”
Xianglan said: "In the current crisis, you might as well teach Pei Sheren to help?" He is a girl's lifelong dependence, and if you ask, he will definitely come to you. ”
Yun Zhao smiled weakly, "You don't know, I've met him a few times, and it's not a familiar friendship." This is my family affair again, and it should not be handled by outsiders. So Xianglan, you shouldn't put your mind on outsiders. ”
She begged Pei Xu to make a decision, firstly, he was not married, and secondly, he was not from the same surname, and his hand could not reach for Yiyuan. The third is that he has very little relationship with the people in the house, and even if he can help, it is only so reliable for small things.
Xianglan said: "Then what should I do, do you really want to go on like this forever?" ”
Nature will not sit still.
But the love of beauty is also the love of ordinary people. is really reluctant in his heart, and he will definitely be nostalgic for a while, and he can't cut off his nature.
I thought of talking about beauty with my drinking friends. The world only talks about the character and appearance of beauties. But I don't want to be well-behaved, and women with good looks can be found everywhere, and truly perfect, pure and flawless beauties may only exist in imagination or in the words of the ancients.
Beauty is hard to find, how can you meet a real beauty just by being graceful on the surface and elegant in conversation?
Looking for beauty must meet in person, it is better to meet than to be famous, whether it is true or false has to be judged. Pei Xu was miserable by this at that time, and later stabbed Lou Zi because of this.
His amorous can write a love history.
Pei Xu loves to talk about beautiful women, and he never hides his love for beauty. It's not uncommon to talk too much about this.
Seeing Miss Feng today made him even more happy.
For example, he said: A woman is raised in a deep boudoir, and her virtue and skills are all based on the one-sided words of her parents and matchmakers, if she is well versed in music and art but is not known to the world, the matchmaker will say a few nice words of praise to others, is it not to bury her talent.
Moreover, when it comes to high-quality women, they must not be judged by nobles.
Some women are of noble birth and their families are prosperous families. Fang is famous in the world, and the sound is clear. People love it for a long time, and they are fortunate to meet it, but they suddenly feel stunned. The women taught by the Zhong Ding family, according to common sense, must be talented and beautiful, and have the ability to operate, but there are frequent people who meet ordinary women, who are very hateful and their hearts can be punished. The royal princess is still acting obscenely, not to mention those who are pampered by small families.
But some women have lived in poverty all their lives, and even if their fate is tragic, they still stay with others all their lives. Although she is an ordinary woman, she has the lofty ambition of a cold man.
The more he thought about it, the more interested he became, and there was nothing so complicated and changeable in the world.
He once bluntly said: "There is a kind of beauty, good poetry, good piano playing, good female popularity, good appearance, everyone is beautiful, so that men fall in love at first sight." But who knew that after marriage, he did nothing and devoted his whole heart to the matter of husband and children, and he had a dull life. Busy and busy, where can you see a good marriage? ”
Speaking of this, he couldn't help but be embarrassed. After all, it was too early to think of such a situation after an encounter.
But when I saw it today, I changed my mind, if I really want someone who doesn't understand the world and doesn't understand the reason of the couple's good words, where will the harmony come from.
The living utensils have always been decorated with auspicious birds and finches such as pedicle flowers, mandarin ducks and parrots, all advocating deep affection, reunion and beauty between husband and wife. But if he fell in love with a woman who had nothing to do with him, he was happy with each other, just waiting for the night to be dark, and he fell in love for a while, and finally made a big mistake.
He walked back and forth in his yard a few times, not that he was confused.
It wasn't love at first sight, but it was attentive.
If the relationship between the two is to last for a long time, I am afraid that it will not be possible without a rule. Neither can the man behave indiscriminately, nor can he blindly let the man take care of himself and snub the lady.
Pei Xu should slap himself, his frivolous behavior can be too much.
Later, he inexplicably fantasized:
If you want to love, you must have a heart-to-heart relationship. And when it comes to heart-to-heart, there are thousands of words to talk about. The two are good, first have the true love, and the innocent love can always maintain the spring; Moreover, it is necessary to be justified, and do not steal incense and steal jade, red apricots out of the wall, bead tires and other unrighteous acts. The relationship between the sexes must be through marriage, and the relationship between the two sexes is suitable for the room and the family.
This day is particularly dark, this year is very strange, it has not yet reached the Qingming season, even the rain is dripping.
Although Pei Xu's thoughts were disorganized, he really wanted to do so. But these can't be confided in anyone, the beauties around you are like flowers, so you still say to others that beauties are rare, for fear of being laughed at by the world.
Although his behavior was sometimes inappropriate, he never let these be known, for fear of falling into a lascivious and indiscreet notoriety.
After all, he is a rotten insider.
"I guess what is the use of these? I met quietly. ”
Although he kept muttering about his messy thoughts, his heart was like a mirror.
suddenly remembered the embarrassment of being rejected for his courtship that day.
"The girl is well. I asked the girl Xinsheng early, and when I saw it today, the girl was really beautiful and wise. ”
He saluted. The makeup is decent, the demeanor is decent, but there is no expression on the face. Pei Xu returned the salute generously, but his eyes were snickering. She secretly hated him, Pei Xu
Pei Xu sneered: "What's so difficult about this, as long as the fragrance is good, I'll try it." ”
He omitted all the details, and only mentioned the main ones.
He walked around first, dividing the inferior into a bunch, "these"
Later, a group of people were picked, "This is medium, and all of them use the ancient legal system, which can be said to have their strengths and weaknesses." The aroma is either tangy or light, although it smells good, but it is always a little less elegant. Moreover, if it is burned in the incense burner, the smoke will be thick and choking, and it will not be ranked as high-class. ”
"Oh, there is no reason in the world for you to eat and live here for nothing, if you are not good, I will peel you a layer of skin. Take a few things from your Pei family, and you can have dozens of banquets. Zhao Jiangxue laughed.
"Bah, if you want gold or silver, just ask. I don't owe you much, and I don't owe you much. ”
Without waiting for him to continue scolding, Zhao Jiangxue asked people to put on five incense burners. Exactly the same gilded Boshan furnace, after burning incense, it is like being in a fairyland.
"You are all good at ancient methods here, whether it is strong or light, there must be an advantage or disadvantage." He tried a fragrance called "Lixue", "The name is new and elegant, and the inside is fragrant and rich." The pear blossom is light, and this fragrance is not lined up. ”
"'Turnip' and 'Yuelin' are both rich spices, although they are precious, what is missing. I was impressed by the ingenuity of the makers. ”
He was also tired, so he stretched and continued: "'Red Plum'."
The fragrance is cold, extremely elegant, and it is the light of the gentleman. ”
"The last 'Canaan' is unique, the best of the best. And it is elegant and quiet, and it is extraordinary, and it cannot be ranked with the rest. I think it should be ranked first. ”
"You know the goods, but you haven't tasted this fundamental thing yet."
"I haven't finished talking yet, you're trying to dig out the bottom of my heart." Canaan's raw material is the Qi Nan incense specially given by the sage to Princess Shangzhen, and Princess Shangzhen happens to have a master of incense making by her side, and this master is Tan Ruoyun, who has been a friend of me the day before yesterday. Zhao Jiangxue, what are your intentions? ”
"Brute with no conscience, it was Miss Tan who invited you here." Zhao Jiangxue looked like she was looking at a joke.
There was a faint figure on the screen, and Pei Xu suddenly understood something.
"You, you should think about how to meet her."
I have admired it in my heart for a long time, and I can't help but be restless, and those who love it will be treated with all my heart. He strode in, the incense pouring into his face. I knew that the person inside was her.
This time, of course, we can't learn to be rude and force to seek pleasure like last time, and we can't stupidly say that an encounter is a shallow child who is the creation of this life or something. Prepare a compromise method in my heart, hoping to win the hearts of beauties once and for all, and form a good relationship.
The west chamber was below her, and he had just stepped through a door. But I saw that the door of the house where she lived was closed, and the window was not opened in the summer. He reacted just in time, and it turned out that the fragrance he smelled just now was the smell of herbs in the courtyard. He couldn't say what they were called or what they were for.
At this moment, the name of the meeting was not right, and he guessed that she must have said a few words coldly.
"When it is too late, this Lord will go to serve others."
Although there have been romantic affairs, they are all ambiguous past events that come out of the moment. But since he came, he couldn't go back the same way and wait for Zhao Jiangxue to see the joke.
