Chapter 1 I like to eat osmanthus cakes, and I like to see you sleep
On the day of my brother's enthronement ceremony, there were guards who came to Yun'an Temple to take me back to the palace, when I was nineteen, my brother told me that no one dared to bully me from now on, what palace guard chicken clos, fragrant pork shredded sweet and sour tenderloin and concubine lychee, I can eat as much as I want, no longer have to be greedy, I think this is the good day that A-Niang said before.
"But I only like to eat osmanthus cake, which is sweet and soft, and when I bite it, I feel that the whole spring is in my mouth."
At that time, I told my brother like this, and my brother just smiled and said yes, he has always spoiled me, just like in the past, when there was only one bowl of stewed chicken soup, my brother would leave the whole bowl for me.
My brother treats me so well, so I will never allow others to say anything bad about him, and if others want to say it, I will definitely be angry.
But before I could walk forward, the guards grabbed me, and on the way back to Chang'an City, I was mixed all the way, arguing with people not only lost my identity, but it was not good if I was collided, and the guards reasoned with me bitterly, so I just did it, and I didn't want to embarrass them.
It's just that along the way, I have heard too many unpleasant words, and everyone is saying that this Chang'an City has been turned over by two concubines, I know that one of them is my brother, and the other is the current prime minister.
"If you want me to say, this Jiang family also has no eyes, why can't they see that their son from the family has such great ability, otherwise he would end up like this."
"I heard from a relative who does business in Chang'an that he has already set up his own door and made a clear relationship with the Jiang family, if you want me, I will do the same!"
"Anyway, that person is now considered rich, I was fortunate to see it before, it was really a talent, and he was really a rare humble gentleman."
Those people are still chatting, but I have no intention of listening to it again, this is the most pleasant sentence I have heard along the way, a talent, a humble gentleman, although I have not read much, but I also think that these two words are used very well, for him, it is really a very good match.
The carriage was back on the road, I lifted the curtain, looked at the sunset in the distance, the red clouds seemed to be drunk, lazily lying beside the sunset, this should be a good scene, but unfortunately I can't paint, he can paint, but unfortunately he can't paint for me.
I must have been drunk, but I heard passers-by say a few words about him, and I thought of him again, but this is no wonder to me, after all, he is also the person who was happy at the beginning of my love, and this person who remembered it at the first glance, no matter how it changed, it was the most unforgettable after all.
Just like in Yun'an Temple, I will always see teenagers and girls in pairs come to the temple to hang the red rope on the letter tree, they are all full of smiles, joy, and strive to throw the red rope on the highest place to hang, because the higher the hanging, the deeper the fate of the two, but in this world, there are many people who have no fate, I have seen someone hang at the lowest place sighing, and I have also seen the highest red rope can't help the wind to fall to the ground, if the word fate can be tied to this red rope, then I must be the first to hang, It should also be hung on the highest and highest place, and tied a dead knot that will not fall no matter how the wind blows.
But I know that there is no such thing as a cheap thing in the world, because I have done such stupid things in the past, and I have been laughed at, so I will not do stupid things again.
At that time, I was ten years old, and I saw some love stories of men and women in my book, and I thought I knew something about men and women, especially the part of praying for blessings and blessings to the goddess, which was particularly profound, and it was the age of great curiosity, so at the risk of being killed, I crawled out of a dog hole in the palace.
I am very skilled in doing this, the small dog hole is difficult to find my skinny body, I have heard the palace maid say that the most effective in this Chang'an is the flower temple at the end of Lingshui Street, the flower goddess Niangniang is the most kind-hearted, if you put a flower in front of her statue, and then show her the thoughts in your heart, most of them will work.
But I don't have flowers, how can I be such a beautiful flower for an unfavored princess, but I can't pray to the flower goddess Niangniang without flowers, so when I see Jiang Zitang on the street, I am very happy.
But before I could run forward to ask him for flowers, a guard pushed me down and scolded me: "Where is the name of Hanako, don't get out of here!" ”
Look at this person's dress, he is a palace guard, I just looked to the side a few times, it's amazing, there are still three princes and four princes, if they see me, they will definitely go to the queen mother to complain again, and Ah Niang and my brother will be punished again.
I was worried that I would be discovered, but I didn't see the disgust in the eyes of the two princes, and now I look like this, dirty and unlikely, and the princes are noble, so naturally they won't look at me a few more times.
I'm happy that the two people in the way are gone, but seeing that Jiang Zitang is also raising his feet to leave, this is not good, I have to ask him to ask for a flower, recently he has been a companion to the four princes, presumably he can still give a flower, and use the flowers given by the man he likes to pray for blessings, so that the flower goddess will be easier to hear the wish of blessing.
I was pushed to the ground by the guards, and I only felt that my buttocks were squatting very painful, and I couldn't get up all of a sudden, so I had to grab the corner of the man's clothes, fortunately he was wearing dark clothes, otherwise my mud paw handprints must be very clear, if he saw it, he would definitely be angry with me.
In fact, he was already angry with me, otherwise why didn't he even look at me, the four princes in front of him turned their heads and looked very impatient: "Jiang Zitang, what are you doing?" ”
The corner of the clothes in his hand was pulled back, Jiang Zitang patted it lightly with his hand, and replied: "It's okay, just ask Hanako to ask for silver." ”
"It's annoying, it's a big deal to give him a few, what if I miss the birth of the queen mother!"
A tael of silver fell from his beautiful fingers on my clothes, and from beginning to end, he didn't even look at me, and he thought of me as a flower child, and I should have been angry, but I thought about it, this is the silver he gave me, and if I use it to buy flowers, will it not be the flowers he gave me?
I'm the best at comforting myself like this, so this time I didn't shed tears, I got up with all my bones, and I had to buy flowers and go to the flower goddess before the sun went down, but sometimes the more people want to do something, they can't do anything.
I don't know if there is anyone selling flowers on the street on weekdays, but today there is no one selling flowers, I am in a hurry to run around, sweating profusely, how is this good, how can I pray for blessings without flowers, how to let the flower goddess Niangniang bless my marriage with Jiang Zitang, for this, I must buy flowers.
Just when I was about to cry, I finally saw an old woman selling flowers, and when I was satisfied to get a flower, I found that this was not Lingshui Street, and my little head couldn't remember too many roads, so I got lost.
"Hello, do you know where the Flower Temple is?"
"Go away, go away, where are the dirty beggars."
"Hello, I want to ask..."
"Oh don't touch me, it's dirty!"
"Hello, do you know how to get to the Flower Temple?"
"What are you doing at the Temple of Flowers?"
It has been rejected by many people, I didn't have much hope, but I didn't expect to hear such a nice voice, as soon as I heard this voice, I knew who it was, and quickly raised my head with a smile on my face, and shouted: "Brother Jiang! ”
It is estimated that the passers-by were startled by my loud shouting, they looked at me with frowning and disgust, their eyes were strange, yes, Jiang Zitang standing in front of me was tall, and his appearance with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes caused several girls to look back and smile frequently, on the other hand, I looked poor and sour, and the clothes on my body looked very strange because they didn't fit.
The eyes of passers-by probably felt that two people who were so unmatched could actually talk, but at that time I didn't know what was not a good match, and when I heard Jiang Zitang ask me, I replied obediently: "I want to take flowers to pray for the blessing of the flower goddess, and I heard that she can be successful!" ”
I was full of joy, but Jiang Zitang's eyebrows were wrinkled deeper and deeper, I gradually couldn't laugh, observing words and expressions is another major skill of mine, looking at his appearance, I must be unhappy.
"Do you know what day it is?"
"Your brother is looking for you in a hurry in the palace, and this time I asked me to come out to look for you, you better go back quickly."
It turned out that it was because of my brother, I pinched the flower and raised my head cautiously, and what I bumped into was a pair of cold eyes, and the frowning brows looked older than the old master in Yue Pavilion, I was afraid that he would look at me like this, such cold eyes, no different from those palace maids and eunuchs, the latter was because he disliked me, so did he also dislike me?
But the wish to pray for blessing in my heart finally overcame the fear of him, and I mustered up the courage to fight for a chance for him: "I will go to the flower goddess to pray for blessings and come back immediately." ”
Marriage is a big deal, no matter how important a day is today, it is not as important as my marriage.
Jiang Zitang saw that I refused to go back, and didn't say anything, just when I thought he would agree, he actually lifted my back collar, and when the beautiful hand pinched my back collar, I was at a loss, I should not resist, but this is the first time he touched me.
Although I was very happy in my heart, I was also a princess, and it was probably not good to be carried like this, so I thought it would be better to hold hands.
I stretched out my hand in front of Jiang Zitang, the script describes that when men and women hold hands, women always have to blush, I am ready to blush, but Gongzi did not hold my hand.
"The front is the palace gate, how to get out and how to go back." Jiang Zitang let go of my back collar, I don't know if he saw my outstretched hand, but I saw him take a few steps back, widening the distance between the two, and suddenly I felt very strange.
I looked at the tall palace gate, and then looked at the flowers in my hand, no, marriage is the most important, I turned my head and wanted to run, I thought so, if I told the flower god Niangniang about my wish, then Jiang Zitang had no choice, because we were already a good marriage set by the flower goddess.
"Where do you want to go?"
"I, I'm going to the Flower Temple."
"Instead of getting some things that you don't have all day long, it's better to read a few more books, and save your brother from worrying about you all day."
What he said is very sad, what I have to do is not something that I don't have, I want to ask for marriage, this is a major event related to my life, and it is also a major event for you, of course, I dare not say the second half of the sentence.
Jiang Zitang glanced at me, with a hint of impatience in his eyes, "Marriage? If marriage can come out, there will not be so many crazy men and women in this world. ”
After saying that, he raised his feet to leave, and whether I understood it or not, I looked up at the sky, the sun had set, and I couldn't go to the Chenghua Temple after all.
But I still stopped Jiang Zitang, flowers can't be wasted, send beautiful flowers to your beloved, this is also the favorite thing for men and women to do in the book.
"I don't like this nonsense."
Jiang Zitang frowned and glanced at the flowers in my hand, just urging me to hurry back to the palace, his back always disappeared in front of my eyes so quickly, I didn't understand why he didn't like it at that time, and I only found out later, just because I didn't like the person who sent the flowers.
I put down the curtain, intending to rest in the carriage, dazed, bumpy, I even dreamed, in the dream I saw a very good-looking son, red lips and white teeth, picturesque eyebrows, he lay under the tree as if asleep, there were falling flowers floating on his dark clothes, one also happened to fall on his forehead, I think this is more beautiful than the flower painted by the palace lady, I lifted the skirt and quietly walked over, step by step cautiously, if he was alarmed, what if he ran away.
"Do you want to eat osmanthus cake?"
Just as I looked at him without blinking, I didn't expect him to wake up, I lowered my head, just in time to see my appearance from his inky black eyes, his hair was scattered, and his face was gradually a little bit of sand, this appearance was really not good-looking.
But he didn't dislike me like other palace maids and eunuchs, he pinched out a piece of osmanthus cake from his sleeve, even his fingers were glowing with beautiful colors, he smiled slightly, his eyes seemed to hide the stars I love to see at night, scorching and shining, seeing that I was stupid, he asked me again with a rather nice voice: "Do you want to eat osmanthus cake?" ”
I can't describe how good this sound is, just like I can't tell how sweet this osmanthus cake is, the eight-year-old girl doesn't know what men and women don't kiss, seeing him raise his hand and pinch the osmanthus cake, I don't think I can let people pinch it all the time, I always hold a few books when I am punished on weekdays, I know it's very tiring to hold things like this, so I didn't hesitate to go up and take a bite, my mouth is sweet and soft, and my ears are the pond wind blowing through the leaves, I know, I have eaten the whole spring into my mouth, Otherwise, how can there be a floral fragrance, sweet and fragrant.
I think that if I have a daughter in the future, I will let her taste all the delicacies in this world, so that she will not let others fall into their hearts because of a piece of osmanthus cake.
"Princess, wake up, you've arrived in Chang'an."
When the stars jumped out, it was already dark, I was gently pushed awake by Aya, sleepy eyes, I lifted the curtain and poked my head out, the night breeze in Chang'an is always so cold, a blow made me sneeze, slightly retracted a little, I raised my head to see the high city wall, this is the high ground that I couldn't climb up and couldn't go up before, there were soldiers in armor standing guard on it, a touch of white clothes was lifted by the night wind and fell into my eyes, it must be someone who climbed up to see the moon, this is the most beautiful night scene, If I can in the future, I will definitely come and see it.
The carriage drove into Chang'an, the 12th Street in my memory is still brightly lit, I have rarely dreamed over the years, but I had such a dream when I entered Chang'an, he saw him for the first time, he would laugh, I remember that the little nun of Yun'an Temple told me, if you dream of a person you haven't missed for a long time, it means that the person is slowly forgetting you, fortunately, I have been thinking about this person in my dream, does that mean that he is slowly remembering me?
I know that I like to eat osmanthus cakes, and I like to watch him sleep, and I like him even more.
