CHAPTER XXXIX
To say that Song Guifei of the current dynasty can be regarded as a legendary woman.
There is no prominent net worth, and there are no relatives in high official positions in the court, and his status is very ordinary, with an ordinary white surname. His father, Song Yuan, is said to have been a folk medicine, living in no fixed place all year round, traveling around the world to treat people, dashing and chic, because of his excellent medical skills, erudition, and his reputation in the hearts of the common people.
Once, when the saint went south, he unfortunately contracted a vicious disease, and the imperial doctor who accompanied him could not cure it properly despite all his might. Not to mention that the saint was uncomfortable, but he was angry in his heart, but the dignified Jin Kingdom did not have a good imperial doctor, so he had to order the eunuch who accompanied him to write a notice and post it, stating that whoever could cure the saint's illness would be rewarded, and those who recommended it would be rewarded. It was an honor for Song Yuan to be recommended.
After healing the saint, he not only got a bounty, but also entered the palace to become the imperial Shaofu. Eat and drink spicy food, no longer need to live the days of wind and rain, and take his family to the capital, and live a stable and good life from now on.
Once the saint came to find Song Yuan, he inadvertently fell in love with his second daughter, who was well-behaved, gentle and considerate, and very smart. When the saint was leaving, he also brought the two daughters back to the palace and was named Shuyi, which was very favorable. The second daughter was not only gentle, but also knowledgeable and courteous, intelligent, and it didn't take long for her to be promoted to a nobleman. As a quasi-national abbot, Song Yuan also got a lot of benefits from it. But at the feet of the Son of Heaven, how can it be so easy, the pressure is really great, I am worried all day long, a head is tied to the waistband of my pants and dangling, I can't guarantee that one day, there will be a click, and the head will fall off. I had to be careful and careful, it was originally good, but then I somehow misdiagnosed Xiao Niangniang in the palace, and something went wrong, so I didn't kill anyone. But the palace couldn't stay still, and he resigned from the official tightly to save his life. After coming and going, he disappeared, and then heard that a noble person helped him, and opened a medical hall in Luoyang City incognito, called "Hanging Medical Pavilion". This medical center is neither near nor far, and it is only two streets away from Yin Ziran's medical center.
Song Guifei lived in Yongfeng Terrace, it is said that when she was favored, Emperor Jin named her after her, "Yong", representing eternal and lasting love, "maple" means deciduous trees, spring flowers, leaf roots mutual friendship meaning. Song Guifei's original name was Song Yongfeng. "Phoenix" is also known as "Phoenix Emperor", the king of birds in ancient legends, the phoenix took off, and the current Queen Xue is jealous. Therefore, the phoenix was renamed maple.
Song Guifei is younger in the end, as soon as she walks into her dormitory, you can see pots of emerald green bamboo bonsai and various flowers everywhere, birds and flowers, fresh and pleasant, very vibrant.
When I saw Song Guifei, she was holding a wooden stick and pounding in a flower pot. The palace maid stepped forward and said, "Master, I have invited you the person you are looking for."
Song Guifei didn't look back, still pounding in the flower pot, and after a while, she handed the wooden stick in her hand to the palace maid beside her, slowly turned around, looked at me, and smiled.
I hurried forward, and when I had time to greet her, she said, "Come with me."
I followed Song Guifei into the inner hall, and suddenly a burst of fragrance came to my nose, I couldn't help but sneeze, looked up at Song Guifei, and saw that she was also looking at me.
I knelt on the ground with both knees, and said, "Su Feifei asked Song Guifei to say goodbye, Niangniang is auspicious, there was something offensive just now, and please punish Guifei Niangniang."
Song Guifei raised her eyebrows and said, "Get up, most people can't stand the aroma in my house, not only you, but I just like it, this is given to me by the saint."
I hurriedly said, "In this deep palace, the saint has favored the concubine alone for many years, which shows that the concubine is very intelligent, enduring, and has won the heart of the saint."
Song Guifei suddenly said sharply, "Bold, dare to speculate on the emperor's mind at will."
I secretly said in my heart that it was not good, this Song Guifei is very different from Queen Xue, it is not good to say that it is good, and it is not as gentle as the legend, so I had to bow down and whisper, "Su Feifei is under the Xia, I don't know the depth of offending the concubine Niangniang."
Song Guifei said again, "You also know that this is the deep palace, and the palace has its own rules in the palace, read your first offense, and spare you for the time being, but you remember for me, what you just said is not allowed to be said in the palace in the future, and you can't talk nonsense when you leave the palace, just let it rot in the stomach forever, you know?" ”
I hurriedly said, "I know, I will never talk nonsense in the future, I will definitely be sensitive in my words and deeds, and I will not cause trouble to the concubine."
That Song Guifei chuckled and said, "The latter sentence is very decent." Looking at me, she said, "Get up."
Mrs. Mu explained to me that I can't look around in front of the lady in the palace, just keep my head down, answer any questions, and raise my head to look at each other's eyes when answering, which is also etiquette. So whenever I'm not talking, I look down at my toes or the ground.
Song Guifei said, "Su Feifei, are you so afraid of me, you don't dare to raise your head in front of me."
I hurriedly raised my head, looked at her and said, "It's not that I'm afraid, it's respect, I respect you, concubine."
Song Guifei smiled, her eyes flickered, and finally turned to today's topic, she straightened up, and said, "I heard that the youngest son of General Bai is Xuanxuan, you are teaching literacy, painting, and poetry."
I said, "Xuan Xuan is very smart, he doesn't need me to teach him too much, it's all his own efforts, I'm just by his side to help and help him, the key is that he is studious."
A palace maid came in from outside, took away the stove in Song Guifei's hand, replaced it with a hot one, and made a pot of hot tea for the concubine by the way.
Song Guifei looked at me, sighed lightly and said, "I have a request, I don't know if Mr. Su is willing to agree."
My heart is tight, what should come will always come, deal with it well, and whispered, "Niangniang, but it doesn't hurt to say, see if I can do it."
Song Guifei pointed in the direction of the courtyard and said, "I have a child, and I want to ask Mr. to teach him how to recite poems and paint, what does Mr. think?" ”
I bowed deeply and said, "I'm only a shallow learner in the next year, I'm afraid I can't take on this heavy responsibility, not to mention that the bachelor in the palace and the Taifu are all better than me, so don't make fun of me."
Song Guifei slapped on the table and said sharply, "The mud can't support the wall, and I don't know how to lift it."
My heart was pounding, and I didn't dare to say a word with my head down, but I just said, "What the mother taught me." As soon as I looked up, I saw that Song Guifei's face was blue and her face was tight, afraid that she would do me, her eyes rolled, and she said, "Niangniang, I know a loose doctor named Song Yuan."
That Song Guifei looked at me with wide eyes, walked down from the front of the hall, and approached me step by step.
She grabbed me by the collar and asked, "Who are you and what do you know?"
I chuckled and whispered in Song Guifei's ear to tell her everything I knew.
In these days in the palace, you must bow everywhere, be cautious everywhere, and the slightest mistake will invite trouble, and in just five days, it will be like several years.
Xuanzhi lived up to expectations and won the first place in this Huangkou Yi examination. Emperor Jin personally awarded Huangkou Tongsheng Primary School Scholar, awarded me the title of Huide Bachelor of Education, and entered the palace with Xuan Xun on the middle and end of each month to teach the emperor's children and grandchildren to read and write. Not only that, but he also wanted to give me a special house to recruit the school-age children of the courtiers and teach them to read.
It was only because Bai Zhanqi, the general who was present at the time, admonished Emperor Jin that there was no need for another approval, and that a mansion was set aside for me in the Bai Mansion to be used as a place for teaching literacy. Emperor Jin was happy and immediately agreed, and entered the palace half a month later to accept the official reward.
Ai'er saw me from afar, and said with tears and laughter, "Sir, I finally hope you back." While taking off the package in my hand, he pulled me into the house, looked at me carefully and complained, "Isn't the food in the palace bad, in just a few days, my husband has lost a lot of weight."
I held Ai'er's hand and comforted her, "It's not that the food is bad, it's that it's too good, it's indigestion."
Ai'er smiled and said, "Sir, just laugh." After saying that, her face sank, and I asked her, "What's the matter, Ai'er, I haven't seen her for a few days, but I've become sentimental."
Ai'er took my hand and said, "On the one hand, I'm happy for Mr., Xuanxuan has won the first place, and Mr. has a bright face, I heard that the Holy Lord has also approved a mansion for Mr. to teach, and he will move out of here in a few days, and I'm afraid that Ai'er will be difficult to serve Mr. anymore."
Ai'er burst into tears as she spoke, and I reached out to wipe away the tears on her face and comforted her, "As long as you don't dislike me for being weak and willing to follow me, I am willing, you don't have to go anywhere, just follow me."
Ai'er jumped off the edge of the bed happily and shouted "Sir, is what you said true?"
It's night
It's so cold that it hurts, and it's still cold when the stove is warm.
Lying in bed tossing and turning, I can't sleep. Looking at the deep night sky outside the window, my heart was full of mixed tastes, and it became a pot of porridge.
I've already made a decision, and I've made up my mind to leave, away from everything here, but why don't you give me a chance? I don't want to be a bachelor of Huide, and I don't want to teach others to read and paint, I just want to stay away, leave the pain, leave Bai Xiaoqiu, return to Jizhou, and live a calm and undisturbed life.
Yin Ziran waited for me again, I told him that after the righteous exam, I would go with him, and I also told him to let him give me some time, wait for me to sort out my mood, and we still have the opportunity to live together.
I have arranged all this, picked it up, and waited for me to meet him again, and hurried all the way back to Jizhou.
Now, how can I tell him, he must be very sad, will he blame me, will he resent me, think that he has been staying in Luoyang, just to wait for me, and I have broken my trust in him.
turned over and got out of bed, put a lamp in his hand, took out paper and pen, and couldn't wait to write a letter to Yin Ziran. I was restless in my heart, and I wrote a few sentences that I felt was inappropriate, and I tore and rewrote, and tore and rewrote, over and over again, pacing to the window, standing and not moving, not knowing what to write to accurately express my deep apologies.
When I finally finished writing a letter, the window was lit up, and I couldn't sleep all night.
Not one night, but three, four, or five nights.
