216, hand-cast gold man (1)

Feng Miao tossed and turned for most of the night, and her eye sockets were a little dark when it was dawn, but she still told Honeysuckle to fetch a string of sandalwood Buddha beads, and then find some thin silk threads and Dong Zhudong looked distressed, stopped her and said, "What the lady wants to use, just leave it to me." Feng Miao smiled and said, "I want to make something with my own hands and give it to the newly canonized queen mother." ”

Honeysuckle reached out and touched her forehead exaggeratedly, "Lady, you slept too little last night, and you're talking nonsense now." ”

Feng Miao shook her head and smiled, while picking out the same color and size from the East Pearl, "Come and help me twist the thread, this thing will be sent over at the ceremony of canonizing the queen." Honeysuckle looked reluctant, but he still stepped forward to help Feng Miao divide the silk thread into small strands.

Feng Miao mixed the dismantled Buddha beads with the East Beads and strung them together to form a tasseled ornament. She asked Honeysuckle to quietly go to the Shiping Palace, and asked when and where the ceremony of canonizing the queen would be held.

Honeysuckle widened her eyes, not understanding why Feng Miao was so kind to Feng Qing, she pouted and said, "How can she deserve to use something made by her own hands?" ”

Feng Miao pushed her out and urged, "Go quickly, the Empress Dowager's mourning period is over, it shouldn't take too long, it's just a matter of three or five days." You've asked, and I'll tell you what to do next. ”

When Honeysuckle arrived, King Shihei went to the palace and was not in the mansion. But she also lived up to her expectations, and had a lively chat with the eldest brother who fed the horses in the porter, and the time and place after the establishment were not a secret, so she inquired about them clearly.

Because it is necessary to cast gold on the spot, it is not held in the palace, but in Feixiantai near the Taimiao Temple in the eastern suburbs of Pingcheng, and the princes of the clan will come to testify. The craftsman would prepare the clay mold and hot gold water in advance, and Feng Qing only needed to pour the gold water into the mold, and then knock off the outer layer of the clay mold after cooling, revealing the cast gold statue. If the eyebrows and eyes of the golden statue are clear and complete, and the body of the statue is flat and there are no cracks, even if it is successful, the queen will hand over the newly cast small statue to the emperor, and the emperor and queen will hold the golden statue together, pray to the ancestors in the temple, and jointly complete the ceremony after the establishment.

According to Feng Miao's instructions, Honeysuckle waited near the Taimiao Temple in advance. Because he had to be familiar with the hand-cast gold man's utensils, Feng Qinghui came to Feixiantai before the emperor. Seeing her chariot approaching from a distance, Honeysuckle walked towards Feisendai with a lotus-patterned brocade box filled with tassels.

She didn't have a pass token, and the guards guarding near Hisendai hadn't seen her, so they naturally refused to let her in. Honeysuckle hurriedly explained that he was serving Feng Niangzi, who was ordered to practice in Qingyan Temple, and specially sent a congratulatory gift to the new queen. She seemed to be in a hurry, and her words were reversed, and the guards couldn't understand them after listening to them several times.

As she was talking, Feng Qing's chariot had stopped in front of her, and the maidservant Yuye stretched out a hand and walked down with her. Feng Qing heard the noise and noise, and already felt unhappy in his heart, and was about to ask Yuye to take a look, when he suddenly raised his eyes and recognized that Honeysuckle was the maid beside Feng Miao. The matter of Shangyuan Night did not work out, Feng Qing was not only uneasy, but also held back the fire in his belly, at this time, seeing Honeysuckle, he couldn't wait to sprinkle all his resentment on her, and said coldly at the moment, "You dare to break into Feixiantai after the stand, this palace is impatient to see that you are living, Yuye, go and teach her the rules." ”

The "teaching rules" mentioned in the palace is the meaning of the palm, and Yuye was instructed to come forward to twist the honeysuckle. Honeysuckle naturally refused to suffer, and shouted while retreating, "My lady is here to send congratulatory gifts to Niangniang, and this string of Buddhist beads can protect Niangniang to cast a golden man and enter the middle palace." ”

Feng Qing sneered when he heard this, "What? Without the protection of her things, this palace can't be a golden man? Yuye, bring the things in her hand to this palace to see what kind of treasure it is. ”

Yuye agreed, snatched the brocade box, unceremoniously opened it and threw it aside, took out the tassel and sent it to Feng Qing, "Niangniang, it's just a string of broken beads, what good things can be taken out in Qingyan Temple." ”

Feng Qing took the tassel in his hand and played with it, and the sandalwood Buddha beads and the east beads were strung together, round and smooth. Honeysuckle said very timely, "Our lady said, wear this thing on your body, Niang Niang will be blessed by her relatives and clans, and she will definitely be able to succeed in casting gold and ascend to the back position in one fell swoop." ”

It's okay not to say this, but as soon as he said this, Feng Qing immediately became angry. In the past, the eldest princess of Boling and Feng Ying both liked to use Dongzhu to decorate their clothes, which clearly meant that she forced her sister to death and her angry mother, and relied on cruel and vicious means to get the back position. She took two steps forward, and suddenly slapped Honeysuckle hard, and cursed in her mouth, "Your master is a lowly embryo, what qualifications do you have to come to this palace?" Honeysuckle raised his hand to block, and between the tears, the string of Buddha beads suddenly broke off, and the beads crackled and scattered all over the ground.

At this moment, a suppressed angry voice suddenly sounded behind Feng Qing, "What is this arguing about?" ”

Yuye turned around and saw the dignified dragon pattern on the person who came, was startled, hurriedly pulled Feng Qing, knelt down and saluted. The people around who stretched their necks to watch the excitement knelt on the ground one after another, Feng Qing's face turned pale with anger, and he could only endure kneeling at this time.

"What kind of system is it to make noise in front of the Feisendai Gate? Which of you told me what was going on? Tuoba Hong's voice was low, obviously angry.

Honeysuckle opened his mouth first, "After my lady heard that the emperor was going to canonize the new, she stayed up for a few nights and strung together a Buddha bead thread, and prayed sincerely in front of the Buddha statue, hoping to dedicate this thread to the new queen and protect the peace of the Great Wei Kingdom." But the new queen didn't appreciate it, saying that my lady was a cheap embryo, and she didn't send things to her to wear, and she also ripped off the Buddha beads. She was now completely gone, and her words were as fast and clear as crisp beans.

Tuoba Hong originally felt indebted to Feng Miao because of Feng Qing's succession, but at this time, when he heard that Feng Miao stayed up late to make this thing, he was worried that she would be tired and sick, so he became more and more annoyed, and said to Feng Qing with a calm face, "Pick up the scattered beads one by one, when will they be strung up, and when will they come in again." ”

Feng Qing looked up in surprise and aggrieved, "Your Majesty, the auspicious time is coming soon, these beads are not worth anything, and the concubines still have to go and see what the craftsmen have prepared." ”

Tuoba Hong ignored her words, and only said, "Pick it up and string it, and wear it, and I will allow you to come in and hand the gold caster, otherwise you will go back." He turned to Honeysuckle and briefly asked about Feng Miao's situation, and when he heard that she was fine, he turned around and entered Feixiantai, and before leaving, he specially asked the guards to send Honeysuckle back in a carriage later.

Feng Qing's eyes were red, and what else was there to argue, Yuye grabbed her hand first, and persuaded in a low voice, "Niangniang, bear with it first, don't miss the auspicious time after the establishment." After speaking, she leaned over the ground first and picked up the scattered beads for Feng Qing.

At this time, Gao Zhaorong also arrived with the second prince, watched this scene from a distance, and only asked the maid to take a ponytail and send it over quietly, and entered Feixiantai without saying a word.

It was easy to pick up ninety-nine, and Yuye used the horsetail mane to string the sandalwood Buddha beads and the east beads one by one, and put them on the outside of Feng Qing's phoenix-patterned auspicious clothes. Originally, it was used to string beads, a thin silk thread, which was broken into several pieces when pulled hard, if it weren't for the horsetail mane sent by Gao Zhao Rong, Yuye really didn't know what to do.

With such a noise, the time that should have been used to familiarize yourself with the equipment is gone. When casting the gold man by hand, Feng Qing was still annoyed, and when he poured the gold water into the clay mold, his hands trembled lightly. When the outer layer of clay mold was knocked off, there were some scattered bubbles on the surface of the exposed golden statue, and several elderly princes sitting nearby could see it clearly.

Feng Qing was so hateful that she almost crushed a mouthful of silver teeth, the teacher invited by the Feng family in advance had repeatedly told her to stabilize her hand and slowly inject gold water, but she forgot everything when she got angry all her life. She held the cast golden statue with both hands on a wooden plate and sent it to Tuoba Hong nervously.

Tuoba Hong stared at Jin Ren without saying a word, suddenly stood up, only said a few words "That's it", and walked down Feisendai. The emperor was supposed to take over the small statue of the golden man at this time and enter the temple with the new queen to pray. Those old ministers of the clan glanced at each other, and they all bowed their heads silently in tacit understanding. The small statue of the golden man in Feng Qing's hand, although there are no cracks, but there is a layer of air eyes, if he annoys the emperor again, it is not too much for him to say that this golden figure is not cast. The emperor had already given them face, and still recognized Feng Qing, the empress with Xianbei royal blood, so they naturally didn't talk much.

Feng Qing knelt on the ground, stiffly maintaining the posture of holding the gold in his hands, and his forearms trembled uncontrollably. She bit her lip so hard that tears still ran down the side of her face. This day, she can't remember how many years she has been thinking about this day, it should have been the most glorious day of her life, but it turned into a great shame. If the hand-cast gold man fails to ascend to the back position, she will be criticized and ridiculed by the world, and this humiliation will follow her all the way to the grave, and there is no way to reverse it for the rest of her life.

After the post-establishment ceremony, Feng Qing was furious and fell seriously ill. At the celebration of the second prince, he was blinded by the grass ash for some reason, and he didn't get better after using a lot of medicine, and the imperial doctor vaguely hinted that there might be a danger of blindness, so anxious that Gao Zhaorong became thinner and thinner.

Tuoba Hong is still entangled in complicated government affairs. In addition to dealing with the obstruction of the old guards in the DPRK and China, it is also necessary to raise food and grass and recruit soldiers. This will be the first time since he ascended the throne that he will lead an army in person, and he must be completely prepared.

At the same time, on the border to the west and north of the Great Wei, many scattered tribes that originally claimed to be kings saw that the most powerful Rouran, Gaoche, and Tuyuhun had all been attached to the Great Wei, and they all submitted their requests to surrender. Some small tribes lacked horses and food, and even the whole tribe moved inward, requesting to settle in the territory of the Great Wei State. How to settle these people is also a headache.

No matter how Tuoba Hong knows how to make good use of people, he still has to make decisions in major matters. For several days in a row, he could only sleep for one or two hours a day, and sometimes he used cold water to wash his face, and he had to rush to meet the next wave of courtiers who had something to report, and he really didn't have time to go to see Feng Miao.

In Qingyan Temple, Honeysuckle was talking about the situation that day, half of his face was still swollen, Feng Qingzhen was angry, and his hand strength was extremely strong. Feng Miao wrapped a cloth in crushed ice to cover her face, and said a little embarrassedly, "It's me who is not good, I didn't expect her to beat you......" Honeysuckle didn't care at all, and said with a fluttering eyebrow, "I can let the new queen mother suffer this big loss, even if I take it again, it's nothing." ”

Feng Miao was amused by her, she was finally in a better mood at the moment, and was about to ask her what she would eat at night, when the bell in the temple rang slowly. Huikong's voice came from outside the house, and he was beckoning the sisters-in-law to go to the front hall, saying that the nobles in the palace were coming and wanted to ask the sister-in-law to recite the scriptures.
