At that time, it was just ordinary
is about to marry the young lady, and the subordinates of the Ming Mansion are busy. Jue Luo commanded the people to move things, hang wedding belts, and decorate the lobby.
Rong Ruo came back from outside, passed by the lobby, and Jue Luo grabbed him: "Are you still hanging out here?" Look at what else you need for a new house, and ask someone to buy it. Your mother and I are so busy that I am sweating profusely, are you okay, take a walk? The daughter-in-law designated by the Queen Mother, we can't be lazy. β
Rong Ruo listened absentmindedly, and it wasn't until he heard the last sentence that he looked at her and said, "E-Niang, what did you just say?" β
"I said anything, I didn't say anything." Jue Luo concealed his gaffe, "I mean that the Empress Dowager and the Emperor have congratulated you, Amma. We have to hold the wedding decently so that we can live up to our master. β
"Oh, really?" I don't know what he's asking, but I see him walking towards the study with his head down.
"Eh-" Jue Luo looked at Rong Ruo's back, and his raised hand stopped in mid-air, "I said what's wrong with this child, he can't give up all day?" β
The cave room is a candle night, and the guests are gone. A door in the new house cuts off the hustle and bustle outside.
In the room, the red candles reflect the red word of happiness, and the red brocade screen cares for the bride in red. Lu Shi was covered with Xipa, neatly dressed, and sat on the edge of the bed dignified and demure. The sound of the door opening, her hands tightening in front of her knees.
Rong Ruo slowly approached and picked off Lu's Xipa. The bride lowered her eyebrows, tactfully and shyly, and the slightly raised corners of her mouth showed her joy and uneasiness.
Rong Ruo drank the wine with the Lu family, and said, "The lady should rest early." Turning the screen, he walked over to the table and adjusted the wick of the candle.
"Xianggong ......" her voice came from across the Jinping, "Xianggong dislikes concubines and looks contemptible." β
Rong Ruo said: "The lady is too hearty. Since the lady is married to me, I should treat you well. It's just that I'm a little unwell today, so you can rest first. β
Upper study.
It's been the third watch, and Xuan Ye is still reviewing the chapters. To refresh himself, he drank while watching the recital. Xiao Guizi poured him cup after cup. His handwriting became more and more crooked.
"Your Majesty, it's time to rest." Xiao Guizi reminded in a whisper.
"I don't want to sleep yet, I can't sleep, I don't sleep."
He suddenly pointed at the little nobleman and said angrily: "I don't allow you to be with others!" Frightened, Xiao Guizi knelt on the ground with weak legs.
After speaking, Xuan Ye continued to look down at his recital, which made the little nobleman confused.
The door opened, and the queen walked to Xuan Ye's side and gently covered Xuan Ye with a soft brocade floor robe.
Xuan Ye turned his head to see her, and for a moment, his heartstrings seemed to be gently plucked by these gentle hands, and he said softly: "Queen, I have neglected you these days and made you suffer. Instead of hurting God for those who don't love you, you should have mercy on those in front of you.
The queen smiled and shook her head: "The concubine is not bitter, for the sake of the emperor, the concubine will not be bitter for as long as she waits." β
Xuan Ye looked at the queen affectionately, put down the pen in his hand, took her hand and said, "I will sleep with you tonight." β
Ming Mansion, a festive new house, the light of the red candle shines on Rong Ruo's face, and the dim red is a little ambiguous. Jingruo peeked at him from behind the screen. She didn't tell him that she was a big fan of poetry before she married him.
Rong Ruo leaned against the window, looking at the dancing candle flames, and didn't know what she was thinking, and her focused expression deeply attracted Jing Ruo. From then on, she fell into a willing wait, and the wait was three years.
In May of the 14th year of Kangxi, Empress Hesheri gave birth to a child, and Emperor Kangxi was very sad and posthumously called her "Empress Renxiao".
This year, Rong Ruo had a close relationship with Zhang Chunxiu, Yan Shensun and others, often singing poems and peace, and occasionally going out to hunt in the suburbs. In addition to dating, he devoted himself to preparing for scientific expeditions. Quiet as gentle and virtuous, and Rong Ruo respectful as a guest.
In March of the following year, Rong Ruozhong ranked seventh in the second class. Immediately, he was appointed as a third-class guard of Qianqingmen to accompany Kangxi.
In April, Shang Zhixin, the son of Shang Kexi, the king of Pingnan, plotted to rebel.
That night, the stars and moon were dim, the breeze was like water, and Rong was dressed as a guard, on duty in front of the Qianqing Gate. The little noble son came over to spread the word that the emperor had summoned him.
In the Qianqing Palace, Xuan Ye walked to Rong Ruo's side: "Flatten." I have called you here to hear your opinion on Shang Zhixin's rebellion. The war in Fujian and Vietnam continued, and if the troops were drawn to Guangdong and Jiangnan, it would be difficult to defend. I plan to transfer the Eight Banners to the south. β
"The slave thinks that the emperor's move is inappropriate."
"Wrong?" Xuan Ye frowned.
"Shang Zhixin's father has been named 'King Zhishun' by the emperor, Shang Zhixin has made a lot of contributions to the Qing Dynasty with his father's war, and has enjoyed a lot of gifts from the court. The minion thought that the reason why he rebelled was completely forced by Wu Sangui, and he made this decision as a last resort. The emperor should be considerate of his courtiers and tolerate their mistakes. β
"Negligence also scores a lot. I treated him well, not only did he not know how to be grateful, but he caused chaos to me when the situation was critical, and I could not tolerate such disloyal and unrighteous people. β
Wu Sangui is in full swing, Geng Jingzhong has responded to him, if Shang Zhixin does not fall, Guangdong Province will definitely be lost, and he is in a dilemma. There is a saying in the soldiers, it is better to have one more enemy than one friend. If the emperor expressed his willingness to let him pretend to surrender, thinking that he would respond internally and give a way out, as a courtier, he would be more willing to take the right path. The minions were willing to convince him. β
"Hmph." Xuan Ye smiled, "If I set a precedent, the subjects of the whole world will think that I am weak and easy to bully, and if I want to rebel, I will rebel, and if I want to be right, I will be right, will the world still be stable?" β
"The sage said that only by governing the country with benevolence can the country be prosperous, and the emperor must not be narrow-minded and righteous and angry."
Narrow-minded? Xuan Ye's face sank: "A woman's kindness will only fuel the arrogance of the enemy. I care about the world and do everything for the stability of the country. Don't think that you are great at dancing and writing, I have read a lot of Confucian classics. The monarchy is divinely granted, and the traitors and thieves go against the sky, and their crimes should be punished! β
"Your Majesty." Rong Ruo was anxious and angry, "You will only make the counterinsurgency war endless......"
Xuan Ye waved his hand and said, "Needless to say, I don't want to quarrel with you." Step aside. β
Rong Ruo withdrew from the Qianqing Palace without loss and continued to be on duty. He thought that he and Xuan Ye were still good friends who talked about everything-he made a huge mistake-he forgot that Xuan Ye was a king and a minister, and his mistake was that he was too sharp.
When, there has been a light rain, and the rain is slightly cool. He's just a squire who fights the wind.
The April fragrance of the world is gone, and on the shore of Shicha Sea, the willow silk is blowing the water, which is the season of parting. Rong Ruo's friend Yan Shensun is about to return south to Wuxi, Jiangsu, a rare holiday, the sunshine is still good, Rong Ruo and four or five Han literati in Shichahai tea for Yan Shensun Yangxing.
One of them is a friend I just met, surnamed Gu, named Zhenguan, and the word Liang Fen. Because of the admiration of each other, I heard that Yan Shensun was going to leave Beijing, and he also came to see him off. When he was drunk, Gu Zhenguan said: "I have heard that Rong Ruoxian's literary talents and martial arts are first-class, and he is also a person in the rivers and lakes, so it is better to learn from each other." β
"Brother lift." Rong Ruo said, "Brother is prosperous, you can do it today." β
Gu Zhenguan picked up the wine bowl and said with a smile: "Brother Xian is really a refreshing person. As soon as I arrived in Beijing, I was fortunate to get to know you, which is really the favor of God. Drink freely today, talk about the things you learn about later, and do it first in the next day. β
Rong Ruo drank it all, and everyone did it, and they talked happily.
The good times didn't last long, the sun set quickly, and it was time to separate.
Rong Ruo said to Gu Zhenguan: "I just heard my brother say that I only entered Beijing today, if you haven't found a place to live, you might as well go to the house to live." β
"No need, how can a vulgar person live in your mansion?"
"Brother just doesn't treat me as a friend." Rong Ruo grabbed him and insisted on dragging him to the Ming Mansion.
"Rongruo." Gu Zhenguan stopped, "Others praise you for having both ability and political integrity, but I don't accept it." Seeing you today, I have to accept that you are open-minded and a true husband. Don't call me brother anymore, don't dare to be ashamed, call me Liang Fen. β
"Okay, Liang Fen."
"But I really can't sleep on a high bed." Gu Liangfen arched his hand and said, "The green mountains are still the same, the green water flows for a long time, and there will be a period in the future." β
Rong Ruo had no choice but to do it, and said, "There will be a period later." β
On the same day, Rong Ruo wrote a poem and a poem and sent it to Yan Shensun to take away, "Sending Sunyou" and "Water Dragon Yin, Sending Sunyou South Again". The words are as follows:
"Life is like a dream in the north and south, but it is high in the Golden Mountain. Bai Bodong is gone, the birds are crying, and he is left to the twilight. Don't drink too much, let me go, and send you back. The smoke is thousands of acres, half sails and waning moons, a few years back, lovesick no.
It can be recalled that the chai door is closed. The jade rope is low, and the night rain is cut. It's like this, don't have more and less, it's better to meet nothing. Sorrowful to Xixuan, the leaves of the lily wall are dark, and the wind and rain are at dusk. More that survey a few places, Jin Ge Iron Horse, put the desolation to help. β
What a golden iron horse, put the desolation to help. Li Min's hard work, the rebellion of the three feudatories, when will it stop! Can Xuan Ye know the worries in the hearts of his subjects?
Confidant returned to the south, Xuan Ye misunderstood, this period was the darkest time in Rong Ruo's life.
When he got home, Rong Ruo walked straight to the study and wrote lyrics.
Jing Ruo was beside him to sharpen the ink.
"Xianggong, the last time you said you would take me to the suburbs to hunt, when did you go?"
Rong Ruodao; "Jingruo, I'm sorry, the emperor has been working very hard for Shang Zhixin these days, and he doesn't listen to my advice, I want to help him think about countermeasures again, and when this matter is over, let's go again, okay?"
"Oh." Jingruo lowered her head and grinded the ink. He didn't hear the disappointment in her tone.
A year later, Lu became ill.
Rong Ruo waited by the bedside, grieving.
"Xianggong, don't be sad, people's lives will always come to an end." She reached out and stroked his eyebrows, trying to soothe his frowning brows, "Jingruo doesn't want you to be sad, don't see you frowning." Over the years, there has always been a wisp of sorrow between your eyebrows, as if it can't be swept away. Jingruo doesn't know what you're worried about, but Jingruo has always believed that she can share your worries, and she can always wait for the day when you will show your heart. But Jingruo overestimated herself, Jingruo was very tired of waiting, really, very tired......" After speaking, she closed her eyes and never woke up again.
Who reads that the west wind is cool alone, Xiao Xiao Huangye closes the window, and ponders the past and sets up the sun.
was shocked by the wine, and the gambling books were consumed with the fragrance of tea. At that time, it was just ordinary.
- "Huanxi Sand"
Lu Jingruo. A woman as gentle and virtuous as her name. Yesterday, the person who was still laughing suddenly disappeared, and the room was empty, without her breath. In the past, his poetry entertained his depressed heart, and she was by his side to polish ink for him, but he didn't have the extra heart to look at her. Suddenly woke up, and it was irreversible. Since then, Rong Ruo has no intention of doing anything. The words of mourning rise, the sorrow is overwhelming, and it is heartbreaking to read.
Knowing the news of Lu's death, Xuan Ye was very worried about Rong Ruo and allowed him to take a three-day vacation. Three days later, when Xuan Ye asked Xiao Guizi to bring Rong Ruo to his side, Rong Ruo was already too thin to become human.
Xuan Ye said: "Rong Ruo, I know that you are grieving the loss of your wife, but you are like this, I look at the heartache. I also lost the queen, and I didn't pick myself up anytime soon. Men should put state affairs first, and should not be bound by the private feelings of their children. With your talents, you should do great things. Do you remember what you told me about appeasing Shang Zhixin? I was too impulsive at the time, but then I thought it was clear and thought that your words made sense, so I sent someone to do it the next day. Sure enough, the contradiction between Shang Zhixin and Wu Sangui is intensifying day by day, and now the three feudatories are in defeat. He said excitedly, lovingly placing his hand on his shoulder: "I need you." β
Rong Ruo bowed and said indifferently: "Emperor Xie cares, the slave will not be mistaken for personal reasons, and he can be on duty today." β
Xuan Ye held him in his arms: "Rong Ruo, come to me, I will protect you for the rest of my life and not let you be harmed in any way." β
Rong Ruo broke away: "The slave will only love Jing Ruo alone in this life." The emperor had nothing else to do, and the slave retired. β
Without waiting for Xuan Ye to answer, he left.
The thin man with a thin back seemed to be swept away by a gust of wind. Xuan Ye suddenly felt that Rong Ruo was getting farther and farther away from him.
In his spare time, Rong Ruo devoted himself to compiling and compiling his own words into a collection, called "Side Hat Words". He deliberately avoided Xuan Ye, and didn't say a word to him except for official business, because in Xuan Ye's heart, only "state affairs are important".
It was another sunny spring day, and he remembered his confidant and friend Yan Shensun. Full of the pain of losing his wife, he had nowhere to tell, and he sent Yan Shensun a "Linjiang Immortal".
What do you want to send after the farewell? The first warbler is lovesick with the early geese. Now haggard and different from then. Drifting zero thoughts, the waning moon and falling flowers know.
I don't know how to go on the river, but I clearly go to Liangxi. In a hurry, I just wanted to share the words, the fragrance disappeared and the dream was cold, and the window was white......
Nineteen years of Kangxi.
It has been three years since Lu's death, and May 30 is the day of Lu's death.
"Golden Wisp Song β’ Feelings of the Dead Woman's Death Day":
When is this hatred gone? Dripping empty stairs, cold and rainy breaks, funeral flowers. Three years of long soul dreams, is a dream that should wake up for a long time.
The material is also sense, and the world is tasteless. It is not as dusty as the night platform, deserted, and a sad place. The hairpin made a covenant and abandoned it.
If there is a Pisces in Chongquan. I know him well, and he has been bitter and happy all the time, and with whom he depends. Since the end of the night, I have turned to the side, and I can't bear to listen to the Hunan strings.
To get married, he will give birth to a confidant. I'm afraid that both of them will have a thin life, and then they will be saved and the moon will be left in the wind. The tears are gone, and the paper is dusty.
It's been three years, and Rong Ruo's thoughts about Jingruo have never decreased. On this day, when he returned to the house after paying tribute to the Lu family, Rong Ruo heard a sad news from his father.
"Rong Ruo, Ama told you about your family. Miss Guan is virtuous and generous, and she is the daughter of Doctor Guanglu, the first-class prince of Shaobao, Pulp. β
"The child has just finished worshipping Jingruo, but Ama wants to accept others as relatives, has Ama ever thought about the feelings of the son?"
Mingzhu said: "Jingruo has been gone for so long, no matter how affectionate she is, she should let go." Ama just can't bear to see you immersed in the pain of Jingruo's death, so she wants you to remarry. When Miss Guan enters the door, you will gradually become cheerful. β
Rong Ruo said: "Except for Jingruo, my son will not love other women." Amma should retire his family, otherwise he would have to move out. β
"Why are you so stubborn?" Mingzhu was helpless, "Glory and wealth, fine clothes and food, Ama gave you everything, but you can't get along with yourself for a woman." β
"My mind is broken, and Amma doesn't need to say it anymore."
The next morning, Rong Ruo was reading a book in the room, listening to the roar outside, and when he went out, he saw that the people were busy putting out lights, and there was a sound of celebration in the house.
"What are you doing?" Rong Ruo was in a hurry, and without waiting for the next person to answer, he ran to the hall and saw Jue Luo sitting in front of the hall drinking tea.
"Eniang, didn't Ama tell you that the marriage was canceled? What are they still busy with? β
Jue Luo hesitated, just in time, Mingzhu returned to the mansion after the morning court, heard Rong Ruo's question, stepped forward, and said: "Ama just told the official yesterday about the divorce, and somehow it reached Miss Guan's ears. It turns out that Miss Guan has long admired your talents, and when she heard that we were going to withdraw from the marriage, she felt insulted and was making a fuss in the room to seek death. It's no wonder that the young lady can't stand it, a good girl, if she is divorced, how can she marry in the future? β
Rong Ruo said: "But I can't tolerate others in my heart." If you marry Miss Guan, you can't treat her wholeheartedly, you will only fail her. β
Jue Luo persuaded him: "How can this be disappointed? People are everyone's girlfriends, and they also know that you are in deep love. As long as you treat her well, will she still fight with a dead man? β
Rong Ruo frowned and said, "E-Niang, you don't understand." Miss Guan is a good girl, and there should be someone who knows how to cherish her and love her wholeheartedly. Er has already failed Jingruo, and he can't live up to Miss Guan anymore. β
Mingzhu said: "How do you say your name Amma?" You can't bear to see Miss Guan seek death? If you want to withdraw from the marriage, you have already lived up to the deep love of the young lady. β
Rong Ruo only felt a heart-wrenching pain, his brows were deeply locked, his eyes were full of sorrow, and he covered his chest tightly with his hands before he reluctantly spoke: "Amma, Eniang, you really make it difficult for your son." β
There was blood surging in my heart, and I felt like I was about to die. Ke Rongruo has been very good at parenting since he was a child, and he is even more obedient to his parents.
A month later, Rong Ruo married the official family.
Upper study.
Xuan Ye looked at Rong Ruo coldly: "You told me that you can't forget the Lu family, and I will be the most affectionate person when you are." You rejected me three times and twice, I don't blame you, I can wait. Now it seems that I was right in saying that a man will not love only one woman for the rest of his life. Why, you can't stand the loneliness so quickly? β
"Your Majesty, why do you want to hurt me by saying such things?" Rong Ruo said, "The emperor has three thousand concubines, and he will not understand the affection of husband and wife." After a pause, he added, "You don't know love at all. β
Rong Ruo turned around and left, without asking Xuan Ye's will.
In addition to ridiculing a few sentences, Xuan Ye couldn't find a reason to keep Rong Ruo. The empty upper study, like his empty heart.
How can I not know love......
On December 20, the twentieth year of Kangxi, the eight-year-long "Rebellion of the Three Feudatories" was finally put down.
On the first night of the twenty-first year, Rong Ruo and Zhu Yizun, Gu Zhenguan, Jiang Chenying and others wrote poems in the thatched cottage among the flowers. The hall is lined with yarn lanterns, and the lamps have four sides, each painting different monuments. The lights swirled and lit up. The crowd gathered around the lamp, and when the rotation stopped, which side they faced, they pointed to the picture and composed a poem.
There is no greater pleasure for the literati than to learn. The people present were very interested, and there were many poems. Rong Ruo was very happy all night, with a hearty smile on his face that he hadn't seen for a long time.
The lights stopped, and in front of Rong Ruo was a picture of Wen Ji holding the pipa and playing "Hu Ji Eighteen Beats". When he was drunk, he was arrogant, and he composed a poem "Water Dragon Yin, Inscription Ji Tu":
Celebrities must be ......
It turns out that in my heart, I have never forgotten my original ambition.
Of the people present, only Gu Zhenguan noticed the loneliness in Rong Ruo's smile.
In February, Kangxi inspected the northeast and paid tribute to the three tombs of Yong, Fu and Zhao.
The wind is howling, mixed with the snowflakes of the third watch. Rong Ruo guarded the post station in the face of the wind and snow. He heard footsteps approaching behind him, knew it was Xuan Ye, and didn't look back.
A white mink jacket landed on his shoulder.
Xuan Ye said: "Be careful of catching a cold." It's windy tonight, you don't have to be on duty, let's get in. β
"No, it's a minion's duty."
"I ordered you to come into the house." Xuan Ye reached out to pull him.
Rong Ruo avoided: "Emperor Xie, the slave retreats." β
In the sound of falling snow, Xuan Ye watched Rong Ruo leave, and his lost hands were clenched into fists, making his bones gurgle.
If he sees that person every day, but he can't have it, how can that person know about the torment in his heart? Even a smile was stingy for the man.
Sauvignon Blanc:
A trip to the mountain, a trip to the water, the body to the side of Yuguan, a thousand tent lights in the middle of the night.
The wind is changing, the snow is changing, the dream of the broken hometown cannot be realized, and there is no sound in the old garden.
Back in the capital, Xuan Ye was promoted to a second-class guard.
In the upper study, Xuan Ye withdrew the little nobleman and left him alone.
"I thought you would be grateful to you for being promoted to second-class guard. I do everything for you, you don't know what to do. β
Rong Ruo knelt on the ground: "Thank you for the emperor's grace." The tone was cold and expressionless.
"I'm not asking for clichΓ©s!" Xuan Ye was angry, and he tried his best to calm his tone, "You get up, I want to know what is going on in your heart?" What the hell do you want! β
"Minions don't want anything."
"Then don't make a face with me!" Xuan Ye reached out and pinched his chin, "Smile and show me." He looked into his eyes, and his eyes were domineering.
Rong Ruo tilted his head to avoid his gaze.
"I make you laugh!" The strength in Xuan Ye's hand was so heavy that Rong Ruo had to face him.
"The minion can't laugh." Rong Ruo said with difficulty. With such helpless eyes, Xuan Ye unconsciously let go of his hand.
"I don't believe you don't feel anything about me. Your eyes are as full of affection as ever. β
Rong Ruo was speechless.
"What did I do wrong? Make you so dissatisfied? β
Silent.
"I can tolerate you once, twice, three times, but I won't tolerate you a thousand, ten thousand times. Don't call me wait. β
β¦β¦
"Speak!" Xuan Ye shouted, "Look at me and answer me!" β
"The minions are gone."
Xuan Ye grabbed his arm: "Want to leave again?" Without my will, you dare to go? He hugged him tightly and kissed him the lips.
Rong Ruo struggled desperately, Xuan Ye pressed his hands behind him, pushed him to the bed, and ripped off his clothes. Rong Ruo took the opportunity to give Xuan Ye a slap in the face with his free hand.
Xuan Ye was stunned for a long time, he didn't expect that he would be slapped one day. In a fit of anger, he raised his right hand high and slapped it towards Rong Ruo's face. At the moment when he was about to touch Rong Ruo's face, his hand stopped.
- After all, I can't fight.
He gritted his teeth and said, "You're going to drive me crazy, aren't you?" β
As soon as the words fell, Xuan Ye was stunned - he saw tears welling up in Rong Ruo's eyes.
"You want me to say, okay, I say. I'm not happy and regret knowing you in the first place. For the sake of the original agreement, I only thought about the imperial examination in my heart, and I thought about getting fame to help you, and I ignored Jingruo, my good wife. If you wait for me to be in love, I feel like this. She didn't know how many tears she shed behind her back, and I caused her death! I don't want to see you again. If I didn't have you, I would love quietly. When I see you more, I am ashamed to be quiet. I'm sorry Jingruo, I'm sorry for the official family, what are people like me doing in the world? I can't wait to go with the silence...... But I always have you in my heart, and I am reluctant to leave you! β
Looking at Rong Ruo's gaffe, he suddenly understood the bitterness in his heart, and Xuan Ye's eyes moistened. He was about to embrace him in his arms again, when suddenly, Rong Ruo choked, a mouthful of blood sprayed on his dragon robe, and the whole person fell to the bed.
"Rongruo!" Xuan Ye was shocked. Rong Ruo's body is like a loach without bones, soft and powerless to pull up. That feeling made Xuan Ye very scared, as if the person in his hand would disappear in the next second.
A couple from generation to generation in a lifetime, fighting for two ecstasies, lovesick and not blind date, who is the spring for the sky?
- "Doctor! Hurry up and pass on the Imperial Doctor! β
