XXXIV. Who are the Iraqi people?
It was my first heart-to-heart encounter with my sister, and we talked so late that I almost suspected that Hanlian was usually taciturnโwe had lived together for two months, and she didn't say more than half what she said today. We talked about everything, from when she was a child, from the conflict between her and her mother at home and her second aunt; from the cold reception and ostracism she received when she entered the House of the Four Baylors; From so many years of missing and disappointed in family affection.
"Why, it's just that the fourth elder brother doesn't like you, why does Amma also ignore you, and don't even let the eldest lady come to see you?" I asked angrily, my daughter is already very pitiful, and he wants to make matters worse to cut off all her family affection and missing, does he want to force Hanlian to death?
"Why?" Han Lian smiled bitterly, tears had already wet her cheeks, and the bitterness in her words was unbearable: "Because the emperor pointed me out to the fourth elder brother instead of the eighth elder brother, because I can't bring anything to Ama anymore!" โ
I finally understood, and I was shocked. It's actually because of this reason - our Amma, the fourth-grade ceremonial officer and first-class Chengen Gong Lingzhu is the eighth elder brother's person, and his own daughter Han Lian was actually married to the fourth elder brother by Emperor Kangxi. If he wants to win the trust of the eighth brother, he must alienate the daughter of this person who is already the fourth elder brother in name, or he will be regarded by the eighth as stepping on two boats. On the other hand, the fourth, with his intelligence, it is impossible for him not to know that I, Amma, am on that side, so he will also alienate my sister? There is a saying that there are so many beauties in the world, but there is only one throne, and he can't afford to take risks for just one Hanlian. From this point of view, Han Lian, a weak woman raised in the deep boudoir, has been delayed by the suspicion between the two camps after so many powerful relationships are involved.
I can't believe that Han Lian has been living in such a bleak and desperate environment all these years, how old was she then, twelve years old, and still a child?
I feel sorry for Hanlian and I feel sorry for myself. Aren't I also following in her footsteps now?? What right do I have to choose who I want to marry? In the end, it was not like her, who consumed her youth and passion in anticipation and disappointment again and again, and finally turned into a pool of stagnant water. Even if Ama loves my mother and cherishes me again, I can't compare to his power in the court, and the interests of the entire Niu Hulu family carry weight in his eyes? After all, he is the descendant of the four major auxiliary ministers of the Kangxi Dynasty, and the descendant of the first general of Manchuria, Baturu Eyidu. From the last time he hurriedly left me, it can be seen how insignificant a woman seems between the wins and losses of the entire court.
I looked at my sister, who was crying beside me, trying to calm my self-hurting feelings. My sister is sad enough, and I don't need to stop her. Now that the princes are evenly matched, plus the crown prince is newly abolished, the situation is chaotic and unclear, if you want her to be favored now, it is undoubtedly a fool's dream, why bother to say anything about what there is not to make her annoyed?
"Sister, the weather is good today, let's go out of the yard and go around!" I proposed, trying to divert her from her sadness: "I heard that the manager said that the master will be back in a few days, why don't we think about what to prepare to make the master happy." โ
"How can I have a chance to make my lord happy, my lord has never come to my place." My sister said as I dragged them into the garden.
At this time, it is late autumn, except for a few juhua flowers in the garden, there are some broken flowers and willows that have failed. I secretly screamed in my heart when I saw it, my sister was in a bad mood, where to go for a walk is not good, but I want to come to the garden, this time my sister's psychology should be even more sad. Busy said: "Sister, I don't think it's good here, let's go up to the pond, the fish there are fun." โ
Who knew that my sister admitted her death, and bluntly said that she was not going anywhere, so it was good here. Watching her sigh at the grass for a while, weeping at the residual willow for a while, and hiding her face and looking at the sky silently for a while, I was in a hurry but there was no way, I really wanted to cut off the hand that had just dragged her here. had to reluctantly divert her attention, "Sister, I have learned a new song, can I sing it to you?" โ
Hanlian's attention was really drawn back by my proposal, she blinked a little dazed eyes, and asked softly, "You can still sing?" Sing one to me, I haven't heard a play in a long time. โ
I heard her confuse the song I was going to sing with local opera, the corners of her mouth were about to twitch, and my mind was quickly searching for songs that could be accepted by their ancients, but I prefer Jay Chou, Wang Leehom and other IMB singers in modern times. After thinking about it for a long time, only the ending song of a TV series I watched before crossing was a little ancient, and when I saw that my sister was urging me with her eyes, I sang it without thinking about it.
Yiren wears red makeup under the moon,
I don't know who was injured by the Iraqi people.
The birds are still in pairs, and they are busy singing each other.
How can the people cry two lines.
Yiren solo with moonlight,
Only the lonely shadow wanders together.
Lying under the willow leaf skirt, it seems that her heart is also sad.
Sigh with Yi and the cool evening breeze.
People say that if two feelings are in each other's eternal sights.
I have a dream with you.
In the play, people break their bowels and think about it in their dreams.
Ask yourself who the mandarin duck in your hand is spinning for.
Looking back at the lonely shadow under the moon, it is getting darker.
I don't understand the style of falling flowers around me.
The two are vast in the play, and the dream is in the heart.
Ren Jun is the only one to appreciate the red makeup.
- The ending song of the TV series "Woman Flower" "Yiren Red Makeup"
After singing a song, I saw my sister standing aside and seemed to be stupid, and there was no reaction, but the tears in the corners of her eyes fell quietly, standing by the willow tree like a wangfu stone. I immediately scolded myself in my heart, didn't I mean to make her happy? Why did she sing such a sad song again to stimulate her, and just wanted to sing another song to ease the atmosphere, suddenly there was a sound of footsteps in the grove in front of her, and it seemed that there were quite a few people.
A cold man's voice came from the front, "Which Yi is singing?" "As soon as the figure circled, it was already in front of me, handsome, emaciated, and indescribably noble, slowly approaching us from the woods.
Before I could guess who it was, my sister came back to her senses first, knelt down in a panic and saluted: "Hanlian has seen the fourth master." โ
The most controversial emperor in history, the legendary Yongzheng Emperor, who was both in the middle of the throne and after the emperor, appeared in front of me like this. The autumn wind was bleak, and the willow leaves on the trees fluttered around me, and I stared at him motionlessly, but I didn't know that because of this glance, we were destined to be entangled in the future.
