Chapter 20 Back Mountain Trail
Lin Wan'er put down the cup and said that she was listening.
Linghui laughed, and there was a look of embarrassment on her face, "I haven't seen anyone for a long time, and I suddenly don't know where to start." ”
She didn't wait for Lin Yun'er to react, and said to herself, "The lady should know that the poor nun has a twin sister, named Lixiang, born in a drought year, our father sold us to a troupe in Jiangnan, that year, we were both less than ten years old, for five years, we walked through the north and south of the river, and later, in a small town in Suzhou, we met our senior brother, the son of the class master who had been away from the division for a long time, at that time the age was like a flower, the senior brother was young and handsome, and the old class master was old, he was likely to inherit this troupeMany sisters were moved, including me and my twin sister. ”
She took a sip of water and continued, "It's just fate that we met our lifelong enemy in the next town, the former emperor,"
Lin Yun'er noticed that when Linghui told the story, she claimed that she was no longer a "poor nun", but "me", and her expression was more like telling other people's stories in addition to regret, as if all this had nothing to do with her, maybe she had been out of the world for too long, and everything was open, Lin Yun'er couldn't help but think of herself, if there was no jade and they talked to her every day, she estimated that the four major ones must be empty.
Lin Yun'er sat respectfully and listened to her continue, "What a heroic posture the first emperor is, we were in our youth when we met him, and he was also handsome and majestic, as if he was like a god, and on the third day, His Majesty the first emperor took us back to the palace. ”
She paused, there seemed to be some longing on her face, but it was a little faint, Linghui turned her head and looked at the jade offered on the Buddha table in her room.
"As soon as you enter the deep palace, it is as deep as the sea, if this is the case, there are 3,000 beauties in the harem of His Majesty, and he chose a powerless one like us, Your Majesty's rain and dew grace can save people, and it can also kill people invisibly. Thanks to the Yellow Servant who saved my life, otherwise, I would have gone with my bitter sister. ”
She smiled faintly, as if all this was light and light, there was nothing worthy of her resentment, and there was nothing worthy of her nostalgia.
"How ironic is this word, if men have a way of self-reliance, why are they afraid of this little fox?" She sneered, "This cannibalistic world may not distinguish between right and wrong. ”
Lin Wan'er said, "Master Linghui, the Si people have passed away, and only by living can there be hope." ”
Linghui reacted at this time, she was talking to a fourteen-year-old cardamom girl at this time, and couldn't help laughing at herself, "Yes, young is good." ”
Then, Linghui chatted with Lin Yuner for a while, and then Lin Yuner left.
The breeze is blowing, today is a good weather, but Lin Yun'er is a little bored in her heart, why did Mrs. Linghui tell her this? Lin Yun'er has always had something in her heart that she has never figured out, she can survive in such a complicated place as the harem, if there is no one to protect her, she can really survive, her heart must be complicated and difficult to guess, and recently~ The Fan Guifei she saw at the beginning could only see the posture of a bystander, did she really let go?
She told Jade and Ziwei about this, Jade was calm, and Ziwei jumped up in shock, "Lady, I heard people say that there is nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace." She must have something to ask the lady, the lady, you are already difficult to protect yourself now, don't go to the blind peace. ”
Lin Yun'er was provoked by her sudden startle and smiled, "I don't know, I think you have a deep hatred with Linghui's seniors." ”
The corners of Ziwei's mouth twitched, and she said unconvinced, "It's not, on weekdays, let's go down to salute, and the old nun also likes to ignore it, and give us a look, the slave maid is a subordinate, and it should be accepted by these, but the slaves and maids are all the faces of women, and the slaves and maids can't swallow this breath." ”
Jade also bowed her head, "Lady, although the slave and the concubine have only met once that day, but time flies, things are different, and they are people." It's just that she frequently shows favor to the lady, and I am afraid that she really wants to ask for the lady. ”
Lin Yun'er lightly soothed her willow eyebrows and said, "If she really asks me, it will be her child." ”
"That's it." Jade said, "Not long after Princess Feiluan got married, the concubine Niangniang fell here and became a nun, thinking about it, they haven't seen each other for twenty-three years." ”
"Mother Cui, where did Princess Feiluan get married?" Lin Wan'er asked.
"Thinking that His Majesty the Emperor couldn't bear it, he married Princess Feiluan to the county guard of Zhongshan County, and at this time I am afraid that she is enjoying the peace and wealth of the world." Emerald Road.
In a few days, Linghui came to Lin Yun'er to talk as usual, talking about either the things of the year or the essence of the Buddhist scriptures, Lin Yun'er would also take the questions in the book to ask Linghui, and after a long time, they slowly forgot what Linghui wanted. In this way, more than half a month has passed.
On this day, the sun is warm, and it is a sunny day, Lin Yuner sat in a daze under the corridor, Linghui said that she was going to the mountains to collect medicine, so Lin Yuner could only practice the craft of making tea, a few days ago, Linghui gave her a medical book on a whim, Lin Yuner was not interested, but this book was given by Linghui, and she was not easy to shirk, at this time, the book was lying on those few children and did not move, and she was looking at the tea that was boiling.
Da Rui's tea is different from modern times, some of which will add some tangerine peel, clove spices, and sometimes add some salt, so that the flavor will be thousands of kinds, she only understood the meaning of jade, why just boiling tea will let many ladies learn for many years.
At this time, it was the height of summer, and the weather was very hot, but after a while, Lin Yun'er's forehead had already begun to sweat, and Ziwei was bringing a bowl of mung bean soup from the kitchen, and said, "Lady, this mung bean soup was chilled by the slave maid in the well water, and it tastes extremely delicious, why don't you take a bite?" ”
Lin Wan'er was in a daze, and suddenly she was woken up by Ziwei, and she shivered, she took a deep breath and said, "You can put it here." ”
Ziwei saw that something was wrong with Lin Yun'er, and said, "Lady has something on her mind?" ”
Lin Wan'er shook her head in annoyance, she didn't have anything on her mind, she just didn't know what to do, she was extremely uninterested in medical books, but she also read it hard, and she read the case file sent by Huang Yu, she also saw it in pieces, except for embroidering, boiling tea and playing the piano, she couldn't think of any other pastime.
She is not an impatient person, but these days, she will inevitably feel irritable, there is such a sentence, women always have a few days a month is not smooth, she has not yet arrived, and has not come ~ tide ~ red, in addition to the size of the body, the other long have not yet grown, at this time there is a sense of irritability, perhaps, not far from the tide ~ red.
"Lady, the slave went to the bamboo forest a few days ago, and saw a few jasmine plants, which grew very well, if the lady likes it, the slave maid will let the little five and six go to the mountain to transplant those jasmine plants to our yard, okay?" Ziwei saw that Lin Wan'er was a little depressed, so she thought of a way to make her happy.
Sure enough, Lin Wan'er immediately became interested when she heard this, and asked, "Jasmine?" Jasmine growing in a bamboo forest? ”
Seeing that Lin Wan'er's eyes were more lively, Ziwei continued, "Yes, the slave maid also feels strange, there are a few white jasmine trees growing in a green bamboo forest,"
Lin Yun'er had already observed this mountain, the green pines surrounded the green bamboo, a quiet and deep, deep like a deep mountain and old forest, could it be that this jasmine was born from a distance with seeds that fell down? Or maybe it's artificial? That's where her curiosity lies.
She hurriedly put on her silk shoes and said, "Let's go, let's go over and have a look." ”
"Whoa!" Ziwei smiled brightly.
The mountain behind the Huang's Buddhist Hall, Lin Yun'er has never been there, and at first felt that it was deep, but in the sultry day, it was very cool, the shadows of the trees were mottled, and a few breezes were blowing in the forest from time to time, like a piece of smooth silk rushing to the face, and the unique taste of the mountains was instantly refreshing.
There is a small path between the back mountain bamboo forest, although there is no bluestone slab on the path, but it is covered by a thick layer of bamboo leaves, Lin Yun'er and crape myrtle walk lightly on this road, and the leaves will make a slight sound.
After walking along the trail for a cup of tea, he heard the sound of the spring tinkling, Lin Yun'er paused and said, "There is a spring in this mountain?" ”
Ziwei bowed, "The slave came back, and it seemed that she heard the sound of the spring, but she didn't look for it, and I heard Mother Cui say that this mountain spring water is the sweetest and coolest." ”
The spring water in the mountains is indeed sweet and delicious, and it is also very cool, just thinking about it, Lin Yun'er smelled a faint burst of jasmine fragrance, and was about to look in that direction, when she heard Ziwei cry out excitedly, "Lady, look, those jasmine plants seem to have guessed that the lady is coming, and they all opened overnight." The last time I saw them, they were all flowers. ”
Crape Myrtle excitedly picked the most beautiful jasmine, Lin Yun'er looked at the smile on Ziwei's face, and even smiled dotingly, and then she looked at the jasmine that remembered, her eyebrows frowned slightly, but she saw a pine tree planted under about a dozen jasmine, the size is the same, but there are not too many weeds at the roots, and there is a little new soil around, as if it has been renovated in recent months, this is obviously planted by someone else, who will it be? Could it be wisdom? Or Shen and Dong?
Ziwei saw Lin Wan'er frowning, looking like she was thinking, she thought that her lady blamed her for picking flowers casually, and she was uneasy in her heart, her original intention was to let Lin Yun'er distract, but at this time, it made her more and more annoyed. Seeing Lin Wan'er looking at her surroundings up and down, she was even more panicked, and just as she was about to open her mouth to admit her mistake, she heard Lin Wan'er say quietly, "I don't know where this trail leads." ”
Ziwei was stunned for a moment, and only returned after a while, "Walk a few dozen steps, and there will be no road ahead." ”
"Really?" Lin Wan'er said, and prepared to go deeper into the path.
Ziwei saw that her lady didn't dislike her arrangement, so she smiled with relief and followed.
