Chapter 5 Goodbye Old Friend, Deep Love and Hate
In the former dynasty of the Eastern Ming Dynasty, the family of the Wang clan was very strict with the daughters, and it was certain to pamper the boudoir, even if they were visited, they were all in a sedan chair, and they could not show up in front of people.
At the beginning of the founding of Dalong, it was common for noble women in colorful clothes to ride horses in the city, and the women of the noble family, as long as they were allowed by their elders, could travel together to enjoy the mountains and rivers, and were not limited to the inner courtyard of the deep house.
The favored group of the Wangjia family still exists, and the old etiquette is still pursued, so the publicity of the noble family and the restraint of the Wangjia family have a violent collision.
The daughter of the family looked down on the arrogant and domineering daughter of the noble daughter, and the daughter of the noble family laughed at the pretentiousness of the daughter of the family.
In order to merge the two major forces of Dalong, Gaozu encouraged the emerging nobles to marry with the families of the previous dynasty.
Gradually, the distinction between the two groups began to blur, and the etiquette of the nobles and the family fused with each other, forming a unique situation in which the customs and customs are slightly more open than those in the Eastern Ming Dynasty, but not as ostentatious as at the beginning of the founding of the country.
Although women travel alone, the scene of riding horses in the city is less, but whether it is a family or a noble, it is not as restrained as in the Eastern Ming Dynasty, noble ladies and nobles meet for a party, or go to the suburbs to ride a horse to enjoy the flowers, or take a painting boat to enjoy the beautiful scenery on both sides of the streamer river, and even those richly decorated restaurants and tea shops in the market, there is no shortage of female guests alone under the box.
The women of the family also have excellent riding and archery, and the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting of the noble daughters are becoming more and more sophisticated, so throughout the year, tea parties and poetry clubs held in various names emerge in an endless stream, so that the lives of the noble ladies are colorful.
has only arrived at the beautiful scenery of cardamom, but has not yet begun the busy life of multi-party entertainment.
Both of her mothers came from the Jianning Houfu - both emerging nobles and former dynasty families.
The Huang clan is very prosperous in the Eastern Ming Dynasty, with a history of more than 200 years, the military generals of Wenchen are more than frequent, Yijing's maternal grandfather is the Jingshi Guardian when the Emperor Mourning, the Emperor Wai has no way, kills the loyal and good, and finally leads to political turmoil, in this political struggle, Yijing's maternal grandfather led the guards to raid the palace, forced the Emperor to abdicate, and made great contributions to the Gaozu finally won the throne.
Yijing's biological mother is a typical family woman, gentle and virtuous, virtuous and talented, Xu inherited his mother's bloodline, Yijing prefers piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since childhood, although he learned to ride a horse when he was young, but he can't take the riding skills, let alone make a knife and dance the sword, and wear Yang in a hundred steps.
In her previous life, her aunt Su Lian lobbied her many times to practice martial arts, but she was politely refused, but in this life, she didn't want to be that powerless fair lady, although she didn't want to become a fat hero anymore, and she acted chivalrous like a little aunt - or a story I heard when I was a child, the little aunt who had just arrived at the end of the day dressed as a man, in the name of going to the banquet, went to Fireworks Lane alone, and met a poor orphan girl who was molested on the street. Rescued the orphan girl and returned home - the poor orphan girl later became her grandmother's personal maid Linglong.
What Yi Jing thinks is that if there is a little aunt's five things, even if he can't use his strategy to make Yu Zhou ruined and end miserably, it's a big deal to fight to the death, and the white knife goes in and the red knife comes out, even if he is dragged to hell together, he can't watch him harm the prince of Chu again.
Take a step back, even if you only practice the two skills of the little aunt, at least you have the ability to protect yourself, so that you can face the conspiracy more bravely.
However, the lofty ideal, to achieve must be difficult step by step, the so-called heaven will descend to the people, must first work their muscles and bones, hard work, the beautiful scene finally has a personal experience of this sentence.
It's just that after running two laps along the horse farm in the house, she was so tired that her bones seemed to be scattered, and she was crooked when she stood.
Seeing the little aunt heroically walking through Yang in a hundred steps, Yijing was very envious, but when the black carving bow came into her hand, it seemed to be locked, and she bit her silver teeth and pulled hard, and she didn't move at all.
Yijing was furious, so he made a heavy oath-
Within a month, you must do your best to pull away the little aunt's black carved bow!
The little aunt saidββ
Good ambition, if you can really achieve it, I will take you to Fireworks Alley!
View: ......
The moment she returned to Luqing Garden with high morale, Yijing softened, and almost her entire body hung on Chundui's body, which made Chundui feel distressed and complained: "Wu Niang knew that she was reluctant to ride, but she didn't know how to do it step by step, and she ran two laps hard, and the slave maid was trembling and frightened on the side, Lian Niangzi was an elder, but she didn't know how to restrain you, and later asked you to pull such a big bow, look at you tired, how can this be good." β
Yijing didn't care: "Strict master is a high apprentice, with the teaching of my little aunt, I can make rapid progress, but I am tired, if I practice like this for a while, riding a horse is not like playing, where is it so serious." Before he could say the bold words, he felt that his knees were weak, and the bones around his body could not help but be the master of his will, and he pressed on Chundu's body obliquely, and Chundui stumbled and almost fell to the flowers on the side.
"Wu Niang should find a place to rest first, and then go back to the room when she recovers." Chun Du gritted his teeth and withstood the pressure, seeing that the master was really difficult to walk, he thoughtfully proposed.
Lvqing Garden is larger than the courtyard where other ladies live, from the hanging flower gate to the inside, a hundred steps are definitely needed, fortunately, there are many pavilions and small pavilions in the yard, where you can take a temporary rest.
"It's okay, let's go to the Lotus Pond Pavilion, remember that there is a beauty couch there, and I'll lean on it first." Yijing doesn't want to hold on, if she is really tired, Ming'er is afraid that she will not be able to get on the horse, if she is so absent, the little aunt will laugh and not say, her own "ambition" will also be encountered, and the scenery on the edge of the lotus pond is beautiful, and she usually likes to go there to sit.
He was about to take a shortcut to the lotus pond with Chundui, but he saw a young man in a brocade dress and a beaded crown walking towards him, and the pale golden sunlight sprinkled on his dark red silk robe, shining with his steps.
In an instant, time whistled back in her ears at a rapid speed, the stinging was extremely sharp, and an emotion, dullness, hit her chest hard, and in an instant, the exhaustion disappeared, and Yijing stood straight in the sun, waiting to be close to him.
I had been prepared for a long time, and I faced him at a sudden time, but when this time came, it was so difficult for her to breathe in and out.
Since waking up, those pictures that have been deeply rooted in memory are all shrouded in a layer of blood, whether it is the young girl and the teenager playing and chasing among the flowers under the willows when they were young, or the cardamom years when they first bloomed in the pavilion, both holding the pen to draw the scene of the splendid years, or in the peach forest of the Chu Palace, standing side by side under the pale spring sun in March, and in the dead of night, in a remote and deserted courtyard, the moonlight is like water, the west wind is lonely, and the time when they are protecting each other and snuggling in a shallow whisper, when I think back, there is no affection, Only the Lantern Festival, which was especially cold, had a last look of abdominal pain, and he stood in the candle shadow and shook the red, calmly watching her towards death.
How cold, how ridiculous.
How real!
The sharp pain and hatred made her smile gracefully.
"Fifth sister ......" the eldest son of General Zhenguo, Yu Zhou, who was fourteen years old at the time, walked with crisp and neat steps, and before he got close, he first cleared the bright brilliance in his eyes and the undisguised smile on the corners of his lips.
"Brother Zhou." The girl's voice is like a willow warbler, light and playful.
"I heard that you went to the horse farm, and you were about to go." When he said this, Yu Zhou was already standing in front of the girl, slightly blocking the delicate sun in the clouds, and casting a small shadow on the girl's face as clean as a magnolia: "Did you really go to practice riding?" β
"On a whim, I went to the racecourse for two laps, and now I am so tired that I am about to go to the Lotus Pond Pavilion to rest." Turning around, gently holding Chundu's arm, Yijing was surprised to find that her steps had slowed down.
As soon as he heard the beauty shouting that he was lacking, Yu Zhou subconsciously wanted to reach out to help, but was gently avoided by Yijing.
It was her limit to be able to smile, physical contact was still avoided, she was afraid that she couldn't help but dig her nails into his arm and rip off his flesh.
Yu Zhou seemed to be stunned, and suddenly felt the coldness from the girl, and he was inexplicably a little lost.
"Why didn't my brother go to the Guozijian today?" Yijing smiled undiminished and looked at Yu Zhou's eyes.
The smile is like a flower, and the eyes are like water, which suddenly made Yu Zhou's loss disappear, thinking that the fifth sister is now older, when she knows that she wants to avoid a man, I don't know why, thinking that she sees herself as a "man", Yu Zhou felt very comforted in his heart, and the brilliance in his eyes burst out, becoming brighter and brighter.
"I don't need to go to school today." With the girl behind him, looking at her petite shadow on his toes, Yu Zhou only felt that the slightly scorching south wind on his face was so refreshing and pleasant: "When the fifth sister is more proficient in riding, you can go to the bank of the Streamer River with me to ride a horse, my sister doesn't know, the scenery there is very beautiful." β
has begun to look forward to the beautiful picture of the fresh clothes and angry horses, galloping on the waterside, Yu Zhou's heart is full of joy, and at the same time, he ignores the coldness that flies in the girl's eyes.
"My brother is a student of Guozijian, how can I take care of my play." It seems to be coquettish, and the warbler is slow to speak, which makes Yu Zhou's mood even more pleasant.
Of course he didn't know that the beautiful smile was as forbearant as a thousand under the flowers.
If you can, when you don't smile like this, if you can, I really want to cut out his heart and take a look.
You say, you really loved me, so, is it at this time?
Unfortunately, even if your intentions are sincere at this time, all I can feel is hypocritical and ridiculous irony.
Yijing thought that the time with him should be long and difficult, but the hundreds of turns in her mind made her ignore the people behind her, as if it was just a blink of an eye, she was close to the Lotus Pond Pavilion, and across a row of fake stone mountains, she suddenly heard a warbler laughing.
If the maids of Luqing Garden are idle, they also like to enjoy the shade on the edge of the lotus pond, laughing and laughing, fighting grass and weaving flowers, Yijing didn't care, but heard an extremely familiar voice-
Although the voice is still a little different from the memory, it is more light and tactful, and it also has the unique sweetness of a girl's coquettishness, but Yijing still immediately heard who was talking, his steps were stagnant, and his palm was tight, which also made the unknown Spring Twilight stand in confusion with a confused face.
"Sisters, try it, there are Minghuayuan's date cakes, and there are also mung bean cakes from Guanshenglou, especially this cage of pineapple crispy cakes, which is the signboard of Zhangjia Cake House in Nancheng, it is said that in order to buy this cage, you have to queue up for a full hour."
The beautiful scenery looks out through the gap in the rockeryββ
Dressed in a cherry gauze skirt, the pretty maid with a slender waist was surrounded by the second-class maid in the green garden, like the stars holding the moon, the slightly raised cheeks were bathed in the light of the delicate sun, the two willow eyebrows were like Xinchan, and there was a little rouge mole between the eyebrows, which made the eyebrows and eyes that were still childish add a touch of charm.
"It was rewarded by the prince?" A big girl who looked to be fifteen or sixteen years old and wore a goose yellow skirt asked.
Yijing recognized her.
Her name is Yingsheng, the son of the Guogong Mansion, Lao Tzu Niang is in the Zhuangzi errand, although the age is about the same as the spring twilight, but it is still only a second-class maid, and it is not very important, but later Dongyu seems to look up to her, often in front of himself to say good things about Yingsheng, he does not doubt it, and begged his mother to promote Yingsheng to a first-class maid, when she married to the Chu Palace, Yingsheng is one of her personal maids.
"My father gave it to me, he knew that I was gluttonous, so he bought a bunch of them every few days, where can I eat these, it is better to give them to my sisters to taste." The pretty maid said crisply.
"Sister Hongyu is really generous." The warbler flattered.
"What's the matter, you guys are in Luqing Garden, Wu Niang doesn't know how many benefits you have rewarded, where can you see these foods, it's just to get together and have fun." The pretty and lovely maid Hongyu smiled and gave the pastries to everyone one by one.
The maids ate sweets, and naturally they said beautiful words, all of them smiled, and they almost didn't lift the red rain to the sky.
"My sisters think it's delicious, I'm happy, and when I come to Luqing Garden in the future, I have to take care of my sisters." Hongyu said.
Yijing stood behind the rockery, and unconsciously evoked a sneer, she never knew that the granddaughter of the dignified Mama Song, the daughter of the head of Song, had such a petty time to please, she couldn't believe that it was the same person who was the same person who commanded the maid and servant in her memory and only flattered and behaved in front of the master.
At a young age, I knew that I was naturally arrogant in my bones before my status was stable, and Mama Song was really good at teaching.
Suddenly, I felt a warmth in my ears -
"Is that the new maid in your yard? What a clever man! β
Yu Zhou had naturally stood close to Yijing, looking from behind her shoulder, and the two were very close.
"Brother, don't squeak yet." Yijing subconsciously avoided it and kept a subtle distance from Yu Zhou.
Yu Zhou seemed to be very excited about eavesdropping on the maid's words, and didn't notice Yijing's deliberate distancing.
I heard a slightly younger maid ask, "Sister Hongyu is coming to Luqing Garden?" β
"How good it is to wait in the Shizi's study, the messenger is leisurely, it is nothing more than grinding ink and adding tea, packing up paper, pen and paper, books, sister, you are only in your early tens, you are a second-class maid, how many people envy it." The other maid was full of envy.
Yingsheng sneered: "What's the use of your envy, can you compare with the red rain?" I don't know a single big word, and I still want to go to the red sleeves to add fragrance? It's better to wait for the next life to be reincarnated. β
Seeing that the sneered maid was a little uncomfortable, Hongyu hurriedly said: "What do I have, but Mrs. Tai looked at my grandmother's affection, took care of my young age, and arranged to be on an errand in Songtao Garden, in fact, I have always envied my sisters in my heart, although Songtao Garden is good, the prince is usually serious and upright, and the people in the courtyard are respectful and fearful of him, not as good as the five ladies are honest and sparse, who doesn't know that the five ladies treat the sisters very well, and love to laugh with you in the past, I am young and playful, but I look forward to coming to the courtyard of the five ladies." β
Yingsheng asked: "So, it's already a matter of decided?" But the maids around the ladies all have a rule......"
"Just wait for my grandmother to ask Mrs. Tai, and it's decided." Hongyu does not shy away from saying that everyone in the house knows that her grandmother Song Mama is the most trusted by the eldest princess, such a trivial matter, as long as the grandmother opens her mouth, the eldest princess will not refute her grandmother's face: "You don't know yet, Sister Chundui is about to get married, and as soon as she comes out of the cabinet, won't there be a shortage of children around Wu Niang?" β
Yijing had already known about Chundui's marriage, and he didn't feel much surprised when he heard this, but Yuzhou was a little surprised, and glanced back at Chundui.
Chun Du stood aside, her face was already red with shame, and she couldn't help gritting her teeth: "These girls, it's okay to chew my teeth." When he was about to speak, he really couldn't wipe his face, so he just stomped his feet, staring at the shadow under his feet, and wished to recite the mantra to become a transparent person.
But I heard a maid ask in surprise, "Who is Sister Chundui going to marry?" β
"Sister Chundu's future husband is amazing." Hongyu said exaggeratedly, but sold a pass.
This bunch of maids are curious, and there are constantly speculations, some people say that it is difficult to be the big shopkeeper in the shop, and some people say that the big shopkeeper is nothing great, the spring twilight has always been liked by Mrs. Tai, don't give it to the prince of Weiguo as a concubine.
Yijing is a person who knows what will happen later, but he doesn't smile.
Chun Twilight was so ashamed that she simply covered her face with her hands and squatted on the ground.
Yu Zhou was surprised and asked Yijing in a low voice: "Could it be that Spring Twilight is really going to be your sister-in-law?" β
But I heard that the red rain finally revealed the mystery-
"My grandmother's own nephew is in charge of the guard in Ninghai, and his son is the future husband of Sister Chundu."
"Oh, this is a child of an official family, Sister Chundui will be an official wife in the future!" The maids were full of envy.
"Isn't it, Sister Chundui, isn't this just called, flying on the branches to be a phoenix?"
Yingsheng hurriedly asked: "Chun Du is just a slave, how can he marry an official?" β
Hongyu explained with a smile: "Originally, my grandmother received a letter from Ning Hailai, and the letter entrusted her old man to find a virtuous woman for her cousin in Beijing, although my cousin is an official son, but now he is still white, and the women of the family look down on him, but those women from poor families are actually not as noble as the first-class maids who go out of the Guogong Mansion, and my grandmother likes the appearance and temperament of Sister Chundui, so she has thought about it, and has already mentioned it to the Chundui family, and she was going to ask Mrs. Tai, but it happened that the five ladies were sick and delayed, and the five ladies were very goodIn the past three or two days, my grandmother planned to ask Mrs. Tai for permission to get rid of the slavery of the Chundui family. β
Yingsheng was a little jealous in the end, and sighed twice: "If it weren't for the fifth lady's letter, where would there be such luck in the spring twilight, Mrs. Tai has always been generous, and she will definitely allow it." β
Chun Du was already ashamed to die at this time, and this time he came back to life, his earlobes were about to drip blood, and he came to Yijing's side slowly, and his voice was choked: "Wu Niang...... Slave ......"
Yi Jing waved his hand at her and smiled slightly: "I'll talk about it when I go back." β
In fact, she originally planned to break up the family business of Chundui, but she has been looking for the right opportunity.
Chun Du did marry Mama Song's nephew in her previous life, and Yi Jing was very happy for her at that time, but in less than a year, the news of Chun Dui's death was returned!
After Yijing heard about it, she just cried for this maid who had been waiting by her side since she was a child, and she didn't even think to ask her about the cause of her death, let alone feel that there was anything strange.
But now that I want to come......
If Chun Dusk is not far away to marry, even if Dong Yu has the opportunity to transfer to Lvqing Garden in the future, but she can't go beyond her, more importantly, with Chun Dusk, Song Mama will not have the opportunity to come to Lvqing Garden to take charge, and besides, Song Mama is not a generous person, where is there such a good heart, her nephew doesn't know what virtue is, so she is willing to marry a woman born as a slave.
The beautiful scenery was thinking about these small details, but the harmonious scene in the lotus pond pavilion was suddenly broken.
A maid descended from the skyβ
