Chapter 6: Wang Chang Tells the Story
Baili Hanyuan asked Liu Xiangu the reason why the king of Chu Gou Jian would sink Xi Shi into the river, and Liu Xiangu said, "Do not do to others what you want." She tilted her head and thought about it for a long time, and finally figured out the cause and effect, after all, she is a top liberal arts student.
Gou Jian can't stand the temptation of Xi Shi's beauty, and wants to take it for himself, but he is afraid that Xi Shi's name of "bringing disaster to the country and the people" will damage the image he has just established, and he will be unwilling to give it to others, so he has to sink Xi Shi into the river, and no one can think of it if I can't get it. Xi Shi Shenjiang can achieve the effect of "killing three birds with one stone", in addition to achieving "do what you don't want, don't do it to others", it can also improve his popularity of Goujian, so a beautiful woman is also willing to Shenjiang, this person is credible, you see how majestic it is. The art of imperial scheming can be seen from this. From this point of view, there is still a story between Xi Shi and Gou Jian, and Baili Hanyuan's curiosity about Xi Shi's story has not only not diminished, but has the idea of not giving up without investigating it to the end. The coming day is long, and when the time comes, I will make up a TV series of "Xi Shi Gou Jian Rhyme", which will definitely surprise the world, believe it or not.
"Hey, I said sister, you're too partial, someone said a good story to listen to, but I told Xi Shi but I didn't know me, hehe. Before another woman had entered the door, she spoke loudly and came in from afar.
"I can't stop now, people who love storytellers are here, you have to listen to Baili girl. Liu Xiangu stood up and greeted her when she heard the voice: "I said Sister Wang, what kind of wind woke you up today?"
"Sister, don't entertain me like this, the north wind is strong, the wind here is light, and it is natural to be sleepy, which is harmless. Wang Zhaojun, who came in the door, was able to solve himself, his voice was like a person, and he was a heroic and straightforward corner.
"Emei is peerless, and it can make flowers ashamed in the forest. Baili Hanyuan clapped her hands and said, "You are Wang Zhaojun!"
"How can the girl recognize her?" Wang Zhaojun looked surprised.
"You are wearing the Mobei Xiongnu Yan's clothes, and the Liu Xian girl calls you Sister Wang Yan, I guess you must be Wang Zhaojun. β
"The eyesight of the girl Baili is not bad, she is Wang Zhaojun. Liu Xiangu took Wang Zhaojun's hand and put it on Baili Hanyuan's hand and said, "It's okay now, one is easy to ask, and the other is easy to answer." I'm redundant. β
"Sister, can't you go, who will give me snacks to eat when you leave?" Wang Zhaojun grimaced at Liu Xiangu.
"Just your gluttony, I'm not thinking about going up to the back to have a look, is there anything delicious for them to bring it to you?" Liu Xiangu said and walked towards the back of the Zhaobi, and turned around: "Baili girl, just ask, she may be able to speak." β
Baili Hanyuan was thinking that being able to have a direct conversation with Wang Zhaojun more than 2,000 years ago would definitely make the world laugh off his big teeth. Liu Xiangu reminded her when she spoke, but this is not in the same space of the world, didn't Liu Xiangu just say that the story of Xi Shi is just something that happened eight or nine years ago to Heavenly Court, and the story of Wang Zhaojun is also six years ago, so if you set it up, doesn't it make the impossible possible, is there a taste of unfinished science in this, or can only the second dimension solve it, Baili Hanyuan is a little confused, but she still has some questions that she has to ask.
"It's said that you didn't give the painter Mao Yanshou money, and he painted you ugly, so you didn't have a chance to let Emperor Liu Zheng of the Han Yuan Dynasty take a fancy to you, is that so?" Baili Hanyuan found an entry point that the world was most puzzled about and felt reasonable.
"Who said that, Mao Yanshou and I are year-old friends who have nothing to say, and he taught me my portrait painting techniques. β
"In this way, Emperor Liu Zheng of the Han Yuan Dynasty can't see you, not because of the relationship between the painters. β
"I still use the portrait to meet Liu Zheng? β
"It's... Baili Hanyuan was stuck at the beginning of the question. This Wang Zhaojun's answer is very different from what Zheng Shiye said, the painter Mao Yanshou can be called his master, and she and Liu Zheng are not unseen. This completely subverted Baili Hanyuan's view of Wang Zhaojun's story, because Baili Hanyuan questioned Wang Zhaojun the least of the four ancient beauties, and she was a rare ancient female image with positive energy.
"Then did you go to kiss voluntarily?"
"Of course it's voluntary, if it's not voluntary, can he let me go?"
It seems that it is true that he volunteered to make peace, and he deserves to be a hero of national reconciliation for the country.
"Baili girl, you are too exalted to me, I can't think so far as a little girl, I just did what I could do for my beloved. β
"Your beloved?"
"Yes. β
"Who?"
"Liu Zheng. β
"It's... "It's stuck again. A patriotic story has turned into a love story, and it's strange that those old pedants don't scold you to the point that you lack common sense and make things up. But when you hear Wang Zhaojun call Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty by his name, and see the emotional look when she says Liu Zheng, you will believe that she may be true.
"Of course it's true, in this life, I loved someone I should love, and I did something I could do for the person I loved, and I have no regrets in this life. When Wang Zhaojun said this, his eyes were full of tears and he was very emotional.
"Then you really have to tell me about your love story, otherwise I can't believe it's true. β
"You really want to hear it?"
"Of course. β
"Okay, I'll pick the important ones and say that I want to tell the whole process, and I can't finish it for three days and three nights, you are annoyed to listen to it, I am tired, it is not cost-effective, you say yes. Wang Zhaojun is really a person who can self-exclude, and only people of her character will have stories like she said, and will believe that what she said is the real Wang Zhaojun.
Wang Zhaojun said that she met Liu Zheng by chance.
After Wang Zhaojun was selected for the court, she had to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, she was a woman from a civilian family, lacking a foundation in this area, but she was studious and hardworking, far faster than those girls from high-ranking officials. The painter Mao Yanshou saw her study and practice hard, so he looked at her differently, and taught her the techniques of painting portraits with special care, and often took some of the portraits he painted for her to Linmo, once he brought the portrait he painted for Liu Zheng to let Wang Zhaojun Linmo, this is a move to risk killing the head, it can be seen from this incident that Mao Yanshou attaches great importance to the relationship between him and Wang Zhaojun, and the other meaning is not to create conditions for Wang Zhaojun to meet Liu Zheng, this Mao Yanshou did not say, Wang Zhaojun did not ask afterwards, but she has always had this idea. Of course, before Wang Zhaojun didn't know Liu Zheng, she didn't know that it was Liu Zheng's portrait.
Wang Zhaojun's fastest musical instrument is the pipa, and she also likes to play the pipa the most. Once, when he was practicing the pipa under a big tree at the entrance of the court, several people stood behind her and listened for a long time, but she didn't notice it, and one of them came up to her and said, "Your hook is too heavy, and your gong sound is too light." The visitor did not look at her, but took the pipa from her hand, and replayed the tune she had just played to her, and after playing he left, she found that there was him in the portrait that Mao Yanshou gave her Linmo.
"Teacher, who is the person in this portrait?"
"Have you seen it?"
"I met yesterday and he taught me the lute. β
"He is the emperor of the day. β
"Ahh β
Wang Zhaojun knew that it was Liu Zheng, the emperor of the Han Yuan Dynasty, so he practiced the pipa under the big tree for several days, and it really attracted Liu Zheng, and he came alone. Since then, Liu Zheng has often come alone to listen to her play the pipa, and he also brought the music he wrote himself * She plays. came and went, and the two of them reached the point where they had nothing to say. From this, Wang Zhaojun knew that Liu Zheng had always loved Sima Liangdi deeply, and no one could replace her place in his heart. Liu Zheng didn't love the queen Wang Zhengjun that the Queen Mother chose for him, and in his eyes, there was no woman in the world who was as worthy of his love as Sima Liangdi. When Liu Zheng met Wang Zhaojun, he blurred his love for Sima Liangdi to Wang Zhaojun. Wang Zhaojun knew all this very well, but Wang Zhaojun was impressed by Liu Zheng's versatile talent, and was tightly attracted by Liu Zheng's domineering, graceful and elegant bearing, and he couldn't extricate himself from it.
There is a person who understands all this, and this person is Mao Yanshou, he thinks that Liu Zheng and Wang Zhaojun will have to give her a name when they are together, so that the unexplained will delay Wang Zhaojun's life.
"He is just cowardly and does not dare to offend his relatives. β
He couldn't let go of Sima Liangdi in his heart. β
"If you can't let go of a dead person, you can ignore the living like this?"
"I just love him. β
"He's going to lose you someday!"
Mao Yanshou's words were not realized until Wang Zhaojun went to kiss him. It is terrible for a literati to have a temper, and he can put his personal life and death on the line.
The northern Xiongnu took the initiative to come to Han to ask for peace, and the Chinese book saved Mao Yanshou to send the portrait of the palace maid to the alternative. Liu Zheng passed on Mao Yanshou to see him, and especially told Mao Yanshou to do some tricks and feet on Wang Zhaojun's portrait, "Don't make the selection, remember." As a result, Mao Yanshou did not do so, and Hu Hanye naturally chose Wang Zhaojun, who was as beautiful as a fairy.
"No name is here, why don't you go back to the main palace, why not?"
"Why didn't the teacher ask me if I agreed or not?"
"It is better to do justice than to wait here for the cowardly. β
Liu Zheng heard that Hu Han had chosen Wang Zhaojun, so he hurriedly found Wang Zhaojun.
"It must not be so. β
"At this point, don't be impossible. β
"Repent, choose another one. β
"No, my big man must not lose his trust, otherwise the war will start again, won't you be embarrassed again? I don't want you to lose the world for me. Wang Zhaojun has another layer of consideration, she has a future moon red in February, suspecting that she may be pregnant, if this matter is revealed, Liu Zheng will be under a lot of pressure, Wang Zhaojun does not want to see him make a mess for himself. Kissing was probably the only thing she could do to share his worries.
"So..., Master Yitu Zhi is Liu Zheng's flesh and blood?" asked Baili Hanyuan suspiciously.
"No, I slipped on the road to Mobei, it's been more than four months, and I saw that it was as big as a mouse when I slid down, and I pretended to be red to avoid the suspicions of Hu Han. β
Baili Hanyuan thought that it would take more than a year to walk from Chang'an to Mobei Road, and excessive sadness and bumps on the road made it inevitable to slip tires.
"Oh, it seems that it's sad to talk about, the bubbles in your eyes are swollen, let's take a break, and you won't be able to go out to meet people if you continue to talk about it. Come on, come on, bring them the grapes!" Liu Xiangu led the maid out of the wall, and the emerald grapes were served on the table.
"Wow! I'm drooling, eat quickly, eat quickly, eat again!" Wang Zhaojun immediately grabbed a bunch of grapes and ate them wildly, she can really repair her sadness, and Baili Hanyuan is still immersed in sadness.
"Baili girl, look at her eating appearance, as if she has never eaten fruit in her life. β
"Sister, you don't know, when I first arrived in Mobei, I couldn't get used to eating those half-baked things, so I relied on eating fruits to fill my stomach, so I developed a habit of eating fruits. Oh, delicious!"
"Is Hu Han evil good to you?"
"Okay, a bad old man. Wang Zhaojun covered his mouth and smiled: "I can't tell you two who have never seen a man. β
Baili Hanyuan was eating grapes while thinking about Liu Zhengyuan's sending Wang Zhaojun ten miles to Mobei and Qina to cherish other sad scenes. If there is no Wang Zhaojun said that the two people love each other and part, it is a bit far-fetched for a king to find out that he missed a beauty and send ten miles away, and it is recorded in history that Liu Zheng, the emperor of the Han Yuan Dynasty, resented all the beauties in the world because of the death of Sima Liangdi, even if Wang Zhaojun's beauty is discovered, it is impossible to send ten miles away abnormally. Similarly, if Liu Zheng is not moved by the beauties of the world, how can he anger the court painter for a woman who is out of the plug and kiss, and kill Mao Yanshou and others as fast, and his personality is extremely contradictory and unbelievable.
"Who can help me?" A tall and beautiful woman, carrying a basket of lychee fruits on her shoulders and a large basket of longan fruits in her hand, was struggling to enter the door.
"Sister, why are you here?" Liu Xiangu threw the grapes in her hand and hurriedly greeted them.
"Sister, let me carry the basket. Wang Zhaojun quickly stepped forward and took a basket of longan fruits from the hand: "It's so heavy!"
Baili Hanyuan was thinking that Liu Xiangu and Wang Zhaojun were so polite to a woman who did rough work, this is the life of a normal person, which is like the treatment of subordinates in film and television dramas as cattle and horses, that kind of life is deliberately made up and not credible.
"Baili girl, come up and take a hand, I can't lift my sister alone. Liu Xiangu wanted to help someone take down the basket on her shoulder, so she called Baili Hanyuan, who was still in a daze, to help.
After a busy time, everyone returned to the table to taste the fruit. Wang Zhaojun was busy stuffing the longan that had just been delivered to his mouth: "Oh, it's delicious." β
"Just picked, send it to you to taste. β
"Sister, you are not idle, and you sent it in person, so that my sister will not be happy. β
During their conversation, Baili Hanyuan found that the woman who sent the lychee longan was particularly beautiful, with a tall body, a well-proportioned figure, a dignified appearance, and beautiful facial features. What's so good about being skinny and weak, hugging him in his arms as if he was holding a sick seedling.
"This girl is... β
"Yo, my sister was so happy that I forgot to introduce it to my sister, this is a girl from Baili Hanyuan, who just arrived for a while. Baili girl, this is our eldest sister here, ancestor. β
"Silkworm Holy Ancestor!" Baili Hanyuan's surprise was not trivial. In her impression, the ancestor was an extremely ugly-looking woman, and she was the original concubine of the Yellow Emperor's grandson Xuanyuan. Because of her hardships and hard work, she invented the silkworm brocade technique, changed the situation of human animal skin, trees and grass covering the body, and advanced human civilization a big step. Baili Hanyuan stepped in front of the ancestor in a few steps, regardless of the thirty-seven twenty-one, took the ancestor's hand and said, "Are you really the ancestor?"
"It's like a fake. The ancestor said with a smile.
"You're smiling prettier. β
"Wasn't I pretty?"
"I thought you were..."
"I'm not pretty, I'm five big and three thick, I'm very pretty. I'm still the first to hear you say I'm pretty, hee-hee. The prostitute said that his face was a little embarrassed and flushed.
"Sister's beauty should not be said, just like the willow tree is green, and the roses are red, should you still say it?" Liu Xiangu said as if she was blushing when she saw that her ancestor said that she was beautiful.
"Yes, yes, yes! If I am the first man to rush up and hug my sister and not let go, with her sturdy flesh, it will also make people's hearts itch, hehe. Oh, delicious. Wang Zhaojun also said the same thing after stuffing the tender white lychee meat into his mouth.
"As far as you can speak, is the chrysanthemum delicious or am I delicious?" As soon as the ancestor finished speaking, Wang Zhaojun sneered and squirted out the lychee meat that had just been stuffed into his mouth.
"Haha!
After everyone laughed heartily, Baili Hanyuan asked where the fresh lychee longan came from, and the ancestor said that she planted it herself, and stretched out her palm to Baili Hanyuan's eyes, you can believe it when you see my calluses. Baili Hanyuan touched the cocoon with her hand, and somehow a pair of tears flowed down. She thought of the women who were destined to live a life with their faces facing the loess and their backs to the sky, not that they were not beautiful or beautiful, but that they had no time to talk about the flowers before the moon and me, that kind of life was too far away from them, and many of them struggled to get out of their original life trajectory, and ran to the metropolis to dream of finding a place to stand up, but most of them were beaten back to their original shape, picking up the dustpan and carrying the hoe again, and following the man to grind layer after layer of hand cocoons, and occasionally turning on the TV at night, looking at the people who were under the red willows and green, and fell asleep while watching indifferentlyγ
"Oh, why is the girl of Baili crying?"
"I think too much. β
"You don't have to think about it, my sister was born with a love of planting this kind and that, and she is uncomfortable if she doesn't move a few times a day, and if you go to her house, there are plants everywhere except under the bed. β
"People, everyone has their own preferences, and they can't force it. If you let me play the guzheng pipa, it won't work, I will dig the ground with a hoe and look very good, if you change Xi Shi and take a hoe, it will not be Xi Shi, she is only Xi Shi with a guzheng, and Wang Zhaojun will be the same for you, let you eat lychee and play a pipa It is quite matched, if it is a hoe on the bar, it is not Wang Zhaojun. β
"That's right, I, Wang Zhaojun, have been living with the emperor since I entered the palace at the age of sixteen, and it's okay for you to let me eat lychees, but if you want to let me pick lychees, I don't know what the lychee tree looks like?"
"Wait and see, my sister doesn't like words on weekdays, but when the girl came today, her words were very funny. After Liu Xiangu saw that the ancestor said this, she made fun of the ancestor and said.
"It's also said that I've been here for so long, and the words of the eldest sister don't add up to as much as they do today. Wang Zhaojun followed Liu Xiangu's words and said the same.
"I'm a stuffy gourd, and when I saw that the girl from Baili was likable, I said a few more words, but let you wait for the opportunity to make fun of me, didn't you?"
"How dare we make fun of you, if I offend you, how can I eat lychees?" Wang Zhaojun said as he stuffed the lychees into his mouth.
"Haha! Why don't you call me if you have lychees to eat!" Before Wang Zhaojun's words fell, a woman's sweet voice sounded outside the door.
"Listen, someone smelled lychee and came to the door. Liu Xiangu said and greeted the door.
Baili Hanyuan thought to herself, who could it be here. I saw a very plump woman in a red shirt and a beautiful woman floating into the door behind Liu Xiangu.
