Chapter 5 The Heavenly Emperor's Mother, Liu Xiangu
Before Baili Hanyuan had time to take a closer look at the beautiful scenery in this courtyard, she brought it into a very elegant palace. There are no carved beams and paintings in this hall, and there is no red and purple decoration, as if you have walked into a simple farmhouse courtyard, the difference is that the furnishings here are antique, the case, the bottle, the chair, all tell you its antiquity and longevity, far more ancient and exquisite than what you see in the Forbidden City in Beijing. In particular, the line drawing on the wall, I don't know from the hand of which dynasty and who, the mountain, the peak, the stone, the tree, the building, the waterfall, the aura is full, the beauty is incomparable, look at this painting there is an immersive, bathing in the fairyland, there is a small seal on the painting "Spirit Sacrifice Mountain" words indicate the source of this scene.
"It's so beautiful!" Baili Hanyuan couldn't help but admire.
"Is it beautiful?" a sweet voice sounded in my ears.
Baili Hanyuan turned around and looked, and there was a person standing in front of her. Baili Hanyuan opened her mouth in surprise and couldn't close it. My God, this woman is clearly the same as her mother Hu Yuejin's mold carved out, very similar, the willow eyebrows and almond eyes, the straight nose bridge cherry mouth, that one is not tailor-made as delicate and beautiful, the difference is that the otherworldly charm in front of her is beyond Hu Yuejin's reach, and her age looks half worse than Hu Yuejin, that is, she is in her early thirties.
"Baili girl, I have seen our Liu Xian girl. Lingbao saw Baili Hanyuan's hair and reminded: "Niangniang, Baili girl doesn't know the etiquette when she first arrives, and I hope that Niangniang will forgive me." ”
"It doesn't matter. Liu Xiangu smiled and took Baili Hanyuan's hand and sat down on the red sandalwood chair together. "Li Mu said, find a girl who looks like me, and say that your mother is more similar to me, did you just see that I looked like your mother?"
Liu Xiangu's easy-going attitude and sweet words made Baili Hanyuan relax her restraint for a while.
"Aunt Liu, are you from Jixi?"
"Yes. ”
"This painted mountain is the spiritual sacrifice mountain where you became an immortal?"
"yes, didn't you say it's beautiful. ”
Baili Hanyuan used to occasionally search for the novel "The Sacrifice of the Spirit Mountain" on the Internet, which was written about Liu Gu, as the surrogate mother designated by Nuwa Niangniang, who raised the Emperor of Heaven with hard work and accompanied the story of the Emperor of Heaven to survive the tribulation. Standing in front of her was the real Aunt Liu herself, and she immediately remembered the plot described in the novel, and it seemed that the story was true as the writer said.
"Where are you from?"
"Shanghai market. ”
"Oh, haven't heard of it,"
"It was only established at the end of the Song Dynasty and was under the jurisdiction of Songjiang Prefecture. ”
"Oh, it was late, so I didn't know it was. ”
"Now it's the biggest city. ”
"Are the words different?"
"There is a difference. ”
"How do you speak?"
"Nong: Okay. ”
"It's a big difference. ”
I ask you to answer, talk about some irrelevant topics, and immediately shorten the distance between each other, the strange become familiar, the distant become close, in fashionable words, Liu Gu is really a public relations master, chat supermaster. In just a few questions and answers, Baili Hanyuan felt as relaxed in front of her mother, and her mood was very comfortable. It's like the old lady in the movie and TV series now, pretending to sit on the Taishi chair deeply, and there are four or five maids holding cards and playing fans next to them, and they always love to teach people when they talk, they are self-respecting, yin and yang weird or snorting, and they have to put their hands on other people's hands when they walk, twisting and pinching step by step, so that they don't tire people to death when they live.
"Hehe, is that really the case?" Liu Gu smiled and listened to Baili Hanyuan talk about her complaints about the queens and princesses in the film and television dramas.
"Yes, they walked like that, cluck, cluck. Baili Hanyuan insisted on letting Lingbao hold her hand, learning from those who twisted away from the palace step by step, and was so happy that Aunt Liu rolled back and forth with laughter, holding her belly and panting.
"Haha, hahaha! Laugh at me, it really tires people out like that, and I don't want to walk well, but I want to learn duck steps, hahahaha! Rest, I... I can't help laughing. I haven't laughed like this in tens of thousands of years, hahahaha! ”
"Tens of thousands of years?" asked Baili Hanyuan in surprise.
"yes, what's wrong?"
"I thought you were in your early thirties. ”
"Do you see people saying that they are ten or twenty years younger?"
"Yes. When you meet a sixty-year-old, you say, you're not forty years old this year, right? Wow, I don't see, I thought you were in your early forties at most. So everyone is happy. Baili Hanyuan herself is also surprised, she is a silent person on weekdays, in front of this Liu Xian girl, how did she become a nagging woman, is it really a change of environment and a change of character?
"Haha, hahaha! live in hypocrisy, haha, hahaha!" Liu Gu laughed again.
"Sister, sister, what's the matter?" said a woman with a thick local accent at the door. As she spoke, another beautiful woman came through the door.
"Come, come, come! The guy next door to you is talking about new things we haven't seen or heard of. Aunt Liu hurriedly beckoned to sit down.
"Sister, I've been here for thousands of years, don't listen to Nong laughing and be happy. "The people who come speak with a strong dialect charm.
"Come, come, come! Sister Yiguang, this is a first-time girl from Baili, she said something unheard of, I laughed, I made a noise to you, right?" Liu Xiangu hurriedly stepped forward to greet her.
"It's rare for my sister to smile, and she will be noisy. Where is this girl?"
"Ala Hu City Silver (people). ”
"It's kind, I haven't heard the country voice for thousands of years, and it's strange to let the silver (people)..." ”
"Sister Yiguang, I'm smiling, and you're in tears as soon as you come. Liu Xiangu also learned her accent to speak: "What a matter of Flala!"
"Sister Yiguang, let's change the taste, I don't have to laugh anymore, how about you make a song?"
"Well, my sister is willing to listen to what Allah asks. ”
Immediately, there was a maid to bring the zither, Yiguang held the zither and played a beautiful tune, the front song was excited, the ambition was about the high mountain, which means the benevolent person was happy mountain, and the back song was melodious, and the ambition was to care about the flowing water, which meant that the wise man was happy with the water. After playing the mountains and flowing water, Yiguang paused and said, "Sister, Allah created a song to offer ugliness in his spare time. After finishing speaking, without waiting for Baili Hanyuan to react, she played and sang to herself.
Meet Pingshui Road,
The spring breeze blows the willows.
People about dusk thin,
The best times are like dreams.
Holding hands and looking at Hibiscus tears,
Yan Ran looked back, and I knew if I liked it.
Past life,
Sorrow in this life.
Light makeup charming,
Laughing and worried.
Whose sin is the famous flower for the country,
Yanran looked back, who shed tears.
After Yiguang stroked the song, he touched his tears, and Liu Xiangu also had a trace of tears in her eyes, and Baili Hanyuan was even more amazing, crying a lot. In the end, it was Liu Xiangu who broke the dull mood.
"Okay, okay, Sister Yiguang still hasn't come back to life from the past for thousands of years, look at it, it made the Baili girl cry, didn't it?"
"It's so touching. Baili Hanyuan wiped her tears and said.
"Fu is embarrassed, and he will be sad as soon as he meets. ”
"Baili girl still doesn't know who you are, you have to know that it's even sadder. ”
"Who is she?"
"She is the fish that doesn't dare to swim when she is in Huanyi, and Xi Shi is also!"
"Xi Shi, is she really Xi Shi?" Baili Hanyuan's eyes widened as she looked at Xi Shi who Liu Gu called her Yiguang just now. When Xi Shi entered the door, Baili Hanyuan only felt that her eyes lit up, this person was so beautiful, because Liu Xiangu's beauty was deeply ingrained in her mind, so she didn't carefully observe where the beauty was.
Generally speaking, if a boy looks at a girl and says it is beautiful, it may not be really beautiful, and a girl looks at a girl and says it is beautiful, then it is considered beautiful, especially a girl like Baili Hanyuan who has the highest appearance and can see the beauty of the other party, that is the beauty of the incurable beauty, and it is difficult to express the beauty in words. Xi Shi's beauty is really difficult to express and depict in words, especially her pair of eyebrows are really beautiful, you just let Xi Shi sit in front of her and tattoo her eyebrows can't tattoo her beautiful eyebrows, because only her eyebrows, forehead, nose bridge, skin color, etc., which are set off on the basis of her eyes, forehead, nose bridge, skin color, etc., show that this is the only one that cannot be replicated. Why is Xi Shi washing clothes by the stream, and the fish don't dare to swim when they see her, the key is that her eyebrows and smile show all kinds of style.
Baili Hanyuan faced this living Xi Shi, and remembered the beautiful story about Xi Shi, no wonder she just sang the question of "who is guilty of famous flowers in the country". From an orthodox point of view, Xi Shi is a hero who serves the country and the people. But Baili Hanyuan never saw it that way, she thought that Xi Shi was a victim in the struggle for men's power, and the most unprovoked sacrifice pushed on the gallows by history. Whether the orthodox concept is correct or her radical remarks are reasonable, only Xi Shi herself knows best.
"Baili girl, Ala is sad about things, just use it, don't mean anything. ”
Xi Shi was reluctant to mention the sad past, and Baili Hanyuan wanted to ask the reason for the incident to solve the confusion that could not be confirmed for several years. Liu Xiangu could see that Baili Hanyuan was young and vigorous, and as soon as she met Xi Shi, she wanted to find out, Xi Shi could tell the story of the year so openly, and she would not be depressed for thousands of years and could not come out of the shadow of the year.
"Baili girl, you have brought us a lot of joy when you have just arrived, the coming days are long, Sister Yiguang has walked around with me the most, and you have similar languages, so naturally there will be many topics to talk about. Sister Yiguang, you said yes, right?"
"Yes, yes, welcome the girl to the Allah house. ”
Xi Shi got up to say goodbye, and Liu Xiangu took her hand and sent her out the door. Baili Hanyuan looked at the beautiful back of Xi Shi leaving, and the lyrics and songs of "Famous flowers pour into the country, look back, and tears flow" echoed in her ears.
"Baili girl, I know you have something I can't wait to know. Liu Xiangu, who returned from outside the door, said to Baili Hanyuan with a smile.
"Xi Shi, how could she appear here?" Baili Hanyuan really couldn't wait, and pulled Liu Xiangu's clothes without any scruples and begged.
"Baili girl, you must not be rude in front of your mother!"
"It's okay, Lingbao, you go back and tell Di Jun, I like Miss Baili very much. ”
"Then, Niangniang, I'll take my leave. ”
After Lingbao left, Liu Xiangu asked the maid to take Baili Hanyuan to the residence to settle down, but Baili Hanyuan insisted on pestering Liu Xiangu to ask clearly. The story of Xi Shi is familiar to the world, but the final ending of Xi Shi is talked about and speculated a lot. When she met Xi Shi here today, she naturally wanted to know how Xi Shi came to Heaven, and she could know how Xi Shi finally escaped from the whirlpool of Wu and Chu disputes.
"Well, I won't say it, I won't be able to live in peace for a few days. Liu Xiangu said with a smile. She also had no one around to speak in front of her for a long time, and she was so panicked in her heart, and her son Dijun also saw that this scene would make his mother sick for a long time, so he said that he would go to the vicinity of Liu Xiangu's hometown in the mortal world to find someone to talk to his mother, and this is why Baili Hanyuan came to Heavenly Court. "Mom, I'm just very busy, I can't wait on my knees, my son is not filial, today I found a woman to accompany you, how about accompanying you to relieve your boredom?" This is a piece of filial piety of her son Dijun, Liu Xiangu is naturally very happy, she is full of joy when she sees Baili Hanyuan today, she also wants to open the conversation box and talk to Baili girl more, and solve the many boredoms accumulated in her heart.
Liu Xiangu said that in those years, the governance ability of the Zhou Dynasty was not good, the princes were competing, there were always disputes, and the people were not happy. The people kept burning incense and praying, hoping that God would have mercy and save the people from fire and water. The Emperor of Heaven was also disobeyed by the demons in the Heavenly Court, and he couldn't take a break from the matter of disturbing the order of the Heavenly Court that had just been established. "Mom, it's better for you to work your behalf, and your Three Realms Xuan Ring should also show its power. The son's entrustment did his best for his mother's nature, and he often went to the world to walk around.
The dispute between Wu and Chu began with Wu being strong and weak, so that Wu gained power for a while, and the king of Chu was not to be outdone, and he made a comeback three years later, and finally enjoyed the fruits of lying on his salary and tasting courage. Liu Xiangu heard that there was a woman who played the role of Meijun in defeating Wu in the chaos, so she wanted to find out what was going on and came to Zhongshan in the capital of Chu after the original Wu capital. Unexpectedly, on the way, he heard the matter of the king of Chu Gou Jian Jiang Shen Xi Shi, Liu Xiangu felt sorry, so she went to Xi Shi Shen Jiang to hang, but found that a few wisps of resentful souls wandered and had nowhere to depend, Liu Xiangu sacrificed the Three Realms Xuanhuan to collect the resentful souls and bring them back to Heaven.
"Thinking about it, according to the words of the human world, it has been more than 2,800 years, but in the heavenly court, it was about eight or nine years ago. ”
"Why does Goujian, the king of Chu, want Jiang Shen Xishi?"
"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. ”
Baili Hanyuan tilted her head and thought about it for a long time, and finally figured it out, it is difficult to be a man, it is difficult to go to the sky, it is difficult to love people, and it is difficult to catch turtles in the five oceans. The borrowed word is now compiled, and it is ugly!
