By the middle of July, there is no water on the lake in the garden of Houfu, looking around, far and near high and low are lotus leaves and lotus 'flowers', under the light of the scorching sun, the 'spirit' is vibrant, the willow branches by the lake become smoke, and the lake is 'rippling', far away from it, it seems that the lake water has reached the shore.

In the depths of the smoke willow, Zhuo Zhaojie is wearing a single snail, impatient to decorate more because of the heat, only obliquely 'inserted' two jade hairpins, all of which are suitable for the small lotus dragonfly style, she is wearing a water-green bottom embroidered koi skirt, covered with a shallow scarlet placket narrow sleeve gauze, the sleeves are half turned and half rolled, is engrossed in pinching two willow branches to learn Ning Shaobi to weave a willow hat, because it is the first time, learn very slowly, take a look at the willow branch in Ning Shaobi's hand, a few willow leaves were peeled off from the branches, fell on her skirt, the face of the green skirtThe 'color' is similar to the water of a lake, and the breeze is light, but it seems to be blown down on the water by the wind.

Although Ning Shaobi was born in a wealthy family, he was born with "sex". Fun, the period of Chenguang who lived in Jiangnan, actually learned Zhuo Zhaojie, a serious person who grew up in Jiangnan, did not learn the craft of making willow flutes and willow hats, and the two walked along the lake and chatted, and happened to meet Zhuo Wuxing leading Zhuo Wuwu and Zhuo Wuji into the garden to walk the dog, and saw the seven aunts of the three, and gathered around to talk, Ning Shaobi thought they were disturbed, so he broke a few willow branches and sent them away.

didn't want Zhuo Zhaojie to see it, she was curious, and she wanted to do it herself, so Ning Shaobi had to fold a few more to teach her.

The willow flute was made because she had to completely remove the entire section of willow branch skin, she learned it several times, and she learned the willow hat for 'sex', but this is simple, following Ning Shaobi's demonstration, and slowly did it eight. Nine is not far from ten - Zhuo Zhaojie happily put the finished willow hat on his head, and looked left and right: "Is it good-looking?" ”

The envoy next to him and Ning Shaobi both laughed, and Ning Shaobi also buttoned her head and said with a smile: "We are both born well, what don't you look good on?" ”

Zhuo Zhaojie slapped him with a smile: "I will forget if you say so, how can you say this about yourself?" ”

"You think I'm not good-looking?" Ning Shaobi glanced at her, Zhuo Zhaojie's eyes were 'waves', and Ying Ying smiled: "Yes, yes, you are good-looking!" ”

The two fought for a while, and Ning Shaobi asked with concern, "How are these days?" But if there's anything you're not sure about, do you want me to figure it out for you? ”

Zhuo Zhaojie took off his willow hat and remembered the previous doubts and doubts about the past between Minping Hou and the Liang family, so he asked Ah Xing and the others to step back and take out the seven laws that Shen Dan had hidden in ancient times, and talked about the past and doubts.

Sure enough, Ning Shaobi knew all about these Chang'an pasts, and after listening to them, she smiled and said, "Are you saying that Old Lady Liang almost married Jinshang back then, but why didn't the queen hate you?" What's so strange about this, if it wasn't for Mrs. Liang's refusal to marry back then, now the phoenix seat really won't be the queen's turn. ”

Zhuo Zhaojie was surprised: "Why? ”

"The first emperor took pity on the Liang family because of Empress Liang, so after he was established as the prince of Jinshang, he specifically pointed to Mrs. Liang as his wife." Ning Shaobi smiled faintly, "But at that time, Jinshang and Empress Chunyu had mutual feelings for each other - you have also heard before that Jinshang is not the prince favored by the first emperor, and the twelfth prince of the first emperor, King Peng, is only one and a half years younger than Jinshang, at that time, the first emperor established Jinshang because the first emperor thought that he was seriously ill and could not return to the sky, and he was the longest among the princes who had not participated in the rebellion of King Yan and King Qi, so neither Jinshang nor Queen Chunyu dared to explain to the first emperor, lest the first emperor be angry, and be coveted by King Peng, so as to miss the position of the prince!" ”

"Later, Jinshang tried to find Mrs. Liang to explain the situation, and Mrs. Liang was reasonable, and she went to find the first emperor to state that she belonged to the first emperor, and she was unwilling to ruin the marriage, and persuaded the first emperor to be angry, so there was a good story of Chun Yu and Jinshang's love for decades and the six palaces." Ning Shaobi snorted slightly, "So you said that how could Empress Chunyu hate you, who was born very similar to Old Madam Liang?" It's too late for her to defend you! Therefore, when you return to the queen, you don't have to be too nervous, as long as it is not a great mistake, the queen will never hold you accountable for anything - those old ladies praised you when they saw you before, do you think it is really all about me and my grandmother's face? It's your grandmother's legacy! People of the older generation, who doesn't know about this? However, for the sake of the dignity of the queen today, it is inconvenient to say, but the queen has always remembered it, otherwise where would the palace have a reason to let you go before? ”

Zhuo Zhaojie was silent for a while, and thought for a moment before saying: "According to this, my grandmother knew that after Jinshang and Queen Chunyu were in love, she would rather give up the phoenix position than 'intervene' in it...... Because I was in love with my grandfather? ”

Ning Shaobi has been in Chang'an for a long time, how famous the Liang family is as the first beauty in Chang'an, he knows many things after the Liang family marries into the Zhuo family better than Zhuo Zhaojie, but not all of them are suitable to explain to Zhuo Zhaojie, so he sighed for a moment before saying: "I heard that after Mrs. Liang refused to marry, although many people praised her for understanding righteousness, being noble and dusty, and not admiring wealth and wealth, especially Chun Yu's family was very 'excited' about her, but the Liang family was very dissatisfied with this - Mrs. Liang seemed to have a gap with her mother's family for this, Later, after she married Minping Hou, it was okay at first, but ...... Mrs. Shen, your great-grandmother, had always planned to marry the Shen family to Minpinghou, and later the Shen family left the house in order to avoid marrying someone else, and it seems that there was disharmony between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and then the Minpinghou was filial to his mother, which was about to be so bad. ”

"What I don't understand is that both the Jinshang and Chunyu families remember the favor of my grandmother, but when the King of Qi rebelled, why was the Liang family still given to kill several people and exiled from the 'door'?" Zhuo Zhaojie frowned for a long time and said.

Ning Shaobi said calmly: "This is naturally because the Liang family did participate in the rebellion of the King of Qi, intending to cooperate with the King of Qi, and even planned to kill the king - if it weren't for the favor of Old Madam Liang, where would the Liang family still need to be exiled back then?" There is no dignity to give death, and it has long been full of 'doors'! ”

"How could the Liang family do this?" Zhuo Zhaojie said incredulously, "Aren't they King Yan's foreign family?" ”

"It is said that the King of Qi deceived them, and the Tao is that the King of Yan is harmed by the present." Ning Shaobi said indifferently, "All in all, they did have a retrograde, and they took advantage of the night to raise troops to 'want' to instigate the Royal Forest Army to mutiny - this is known to Chang'an, well, now that the times have passed, you can roughly know, don't ask more, lest you ask right and wrong." ”

Zhuo Zhaojie frowned, but let out a long sigh for a long time.

Ning Shaobi put the willow hat back on her head, and said with a smile: "Okay, these are all over, and no matter how much we feel now, it's just a plain strangulation, why don't you think of something fun, do you want to try to make a willow flute again?" As he spoke, he reached for a handful of willow branches that reached his shoulder.

Zhuo Zhaojie shook his head and said dejectedly: "Originally, I thought that since my grandmother was known as the first beauty in Chang'an and was the 'daughter' of the Liang family in her heyday, she should be very arrogant...... Well, it's a bit arrogant, so it's hard to get along with my grandfather after passing through the 'door', which will be ...... Well, listening to my grandmother's courtesy to the queen, it can be seen that she is also a reasonable person, so how can she have a bad time with my grandfather? Even my great-grandmother was in it, but ......"

She held her cheeks sullenly, "I don't think I'm better than my grandmother, whether it's talent or the city, now the situation sounds similar to my grandmother's, and my grandmother is still folded in it, I ...... I, I can't help you anymore, what will I do in the future? ”

Ning Shaobi listened carefully and said, "What else?" ”

Zhuo Zhaojie didn't care that he didn't comfort himself, but he still had to ask, he couldn't help choking, and after thinking about it, he hated: "I'm 'sexual' and squeamish, so I'm not as reasonable as my grandmother, the fifth sister and my mother both said that you let me now, it's hard to say in the future, let alone what I can help you share......"

"Look at the poem again." Ning Shaobi listened, but gradually 'revealed' a smile and 'color', he took out the song of the Seven Laws that Zhuo Zhaojie showed to him before, and said with a smile, "Do you know what the most important sentence here is?" ”

Zhuo Zhaojie didn't hear what he wanted to hear twice, he was a little annoyed, he twisted his head when he heard the words, and said coldly: "I'm stupid, I can't see it!" ”

"That's it." Ning Shaobi smiled and said softly, "'Even if you know that you are old' - this is the biggest regret of Minping Hou reminiscing about the past, even if you know, even if you are enlightened, now that people are old, whether it is compensation or regret, it will not help, whether it is too much rest or sorrow, how can you redeem the past?" ”

Zhuo Zhaojie listened in amazement, subconsciously turned his head, and said, "What is that grandfather ...... grandmother?"

"That's the matter of Min Pinghou." Ning Shaobi folded the poem carefully, put it in her sleeve, looked at her with blazing eyes, and said calmly, "Between me, Mrs. Liang and Min Pinghou are not doing well, the biggest problem is that both of them are 'shrewd' people, so they don't ask each other anything to say, just guess for themselves, the so-called saints must have a mistake, let alone them?" Once you guess wrongly and think about it but don't think it, the misunderstanding will come down like this over time, but are we like this? ”

Zhuo Zhaojie said in frustration: "My mother and fifth sister have tried their best to teach me, but what I think about is always not thoughtful enough. She emphasized, "People say that husbands and wives support each other, but how can I support you like this? She said dejectedly, "Everything I do now depends on the advice of my elders!" ”

"My mother-in-law has been a housekeeper for decades, and the fifth sister has been out of the cabinet for nearly ten years, right?" Ning Shaobi asked rhetorically, "It's only been a few months since you started assisting the third sister-in-law's housekeeper?" When you compare them to them, why don't you think that they are also trained over the years? ”

He shook his head and said, "What's more, have you forgotten, you have your father-in-law and mother-in-law by your side to teach you, the fifth sister and the third sister-in-law to mention it, and behind me, why don't you have the grandmother of the eldest princess, the father, and Su Bo?" The two of us are actually the same, if there is no support from the elders, I am afraid that I will not even be able to compare Shen Dangu with your cousin! ”

Zhuo Zhaojie was full of melancholy again, and he felt that it was gradually dissipating when he said it, and he also picked up the willow hat and buttoned it on his head, and laughed and said: "Okay, it's me who is sentimental, and now that you say this, I also think that I am not very good now, but after two years of training, I may not be able to satisfy my mother!" ”

"That's what it is." Ning Shaobi took her hand with a smile and said leisurely, "We have all kinds of defects and naïve and ignorant places now, this is because of our youth, who hasn't passed from such an age?" What's more, even if the times change and there are some debasements in the future, we are young and can afford it, and we may not have to return to Chang'an one day! In that case, what is there to be afraid of? ”

Zhuo Zhaojie smiled slightly, held his hand, and thought, in the end, Jiulang is still free and easy, but today I am a little child-although the clouds are treacherous now, but Jiulang and I are in the youth of 'spring', even if there is a wind and 'waves', we can withstand it, what are we afraid of?

Note that the willow hat is very easy to play, a long branch is enough, go around a circle, as long as there are leaves, you can do it. But the willow flute can only be made in 'spring' days and early summer, and it will be difficult to completely remove the willow branch bark if it is late, this is a small bug, everyone ignore it. The practice of attaching a willow flute: cut a section of the tender willow branches in the 'spring' day or early summer, you can only use the new ones, the old ones can't be rubbed first, and then slowly squeeze out the white 'colored' willow branches in the middle, leaving a complete piece of bark to blow and play, I don't understand this explanation...... Degree (Actually, it's not surprising that I don't understand, because I didn't succeed once in making the willow flute myself!) ）。
