Chapter II
Under Lin Ming's persuasion, Jingxun also knew that the sender had to obey under the fence, so that life would be better.
In her spare time, in addition to the daily chores of scrubbing and cleaning, she also used the excuse of sorting out books and compiling catalogs to pass the time by reading the books and classics in the Sanqing Pavilion.
She has read through most of the books in the cabinet, and she knows all the subsets of scriptures and histories.
I don't know if it's hard work or talent, but the books I read are unforgettable.
Fortunately, she rarely interacts with people, so few people know that she has hidden talents, otherwise I don't know who will be hot and give birth to other things.
It has been three or five months since Lin Ming came to visit last time, and the matter of Concubine Yun coming to Yunqing Palace to offer incense and pray for blessings is also approaching.
The so-called April in the world is full of fragrant flowers, and the peach blossoms in the mountains begin to bloom, although the peach blossoms are quietly blooming, but the snow has not yet melted.
Jing Xun held a broom and gently swept away the residual snow on the steps, the people in the palace are always like this whenever they want to come to Yunqing Palace, everyone is repeating those trivial things, for fear of being seen by those lords of the high hall Anything that is not in sight.
If it is said to be high, where in this world is there anything higher than cultivating immortals, fame and fortune are ordinary things in the world.
Every Taoist priest and Taoist aunt in Yunqing Palace thought so, but when they saw these palaces coming, they all lost their temper, and they were all sycophants.
Meditation training is indifferent, every day is still cleaning, tidying, reading, holding the lamp, and repeatedly.
However, in order to welcome the concubine, Yunqing Palace distributed new clothes to all the Taoists and even the handyman porters, and the meals were better than before, which made this young girl feel happy.
Buzz - Buzz - Buzz -
Jing Xun's thoughts were interrupted by three bells, and she knew that this was a signal to summon everyone to the main hall to greet the concubine.
She hurriedly threw the broom into the storeroom and pulled the folds from her clothes. With the flow of people to the outside of the main hall, the head of the sect led a few eight disciples in formal clothes to wait outside the main hall. Ordinary disciples knelt on both sides, and the procession stretched all the way to the mountain gate.
Accompanied by the sound of Huang Zhong Da Lu, Luo Umbrella Lushu surrounded an eight-seated horse Xuan chariot, the honor guard walked neatly, and the guards held swords around the Xuan chariot.
Walking to the gate of the mountain, a twenty-five or sixteen-year-old woman walked down from the Xuan car, she wore a phoenix on her head, and wore a deep collar with eight groups of peony brocade in the color of the concubine.
What's even more amazing is her wonderful appearance and luxurious bearing, Cao Zhi's "Luo Shen Fu" was probably written in accordance with her appearance!
She put her hand on the hands of the two young palace ladies, and the huge emerald ring that did not know the geometry looked even more dazzling on her white and slender jade hands.
"Welcome to the concubine!" Everyone said in unison, and the sound of the mountain and tsunami shook the valley, echoing in the air one after another.
Jing Xun didn't feel stunned when she looked up, she had never seen such a pomp, even in her dreams.
Seeing her raise her up, a little Dao Gu hurriedly pressed her head down and lowered her voice to warn: "You don't want to die!" ”
It's so noble, it's really enviable! I'm afraid I won't be able to expect this kind of life for a lifetime, or even in the next life!
Jing Xun couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
When she stood up, she watched the distant shadow of the guard of honor fade into the mountain mist.
Xiao Daogu, who was kneeling beside Jing Xun just now, didn't know if she was kind or just wanted to use the excuse to learn from others to reprimand Jing Xun.
She was not angry and said: "If you are seen, you will lose your head, but I am quick to be quick, otherwise you will suffer!" ”
"That's the concubine from the palace! Sure enough, it is luxurious and graceful! Jing Xun muttered in the direction of the honor guard's departure.
That fell into the eyes of Xiao Daogu and turned into a funny look, she sarcastically said:
"Look at your stupid look! Do you think you are Liu Bang's ceremonial driver to see Emperor Qin? Still so emotional? It's funny! You, just finish all the work of Sanqing Pavilion quickly, so as not to be beaten by the steward again. ”
With her sneering, Jing Xun was pulled back to reality, and the earth-gray plain robe on her body was even darker against the background of Pan Guifei's jewelry.
With a little bit of loss, she returned to her dilapidated house and sat down in front of her desk. The tranquility of the water was broken by the ink drops in the pen wash, and watching the ink bloom at the bottom of the water, Jing Xun sighed deeply and fell into contemplation.
Unconsciously, it was dinner time again, she was walking on the road and saw a few eunuchs from afar, although the meals in Gong E's hands were all vegetarian dishes, they were particularly exquisite, mushroom chop sum, assorted tofu, and many dishes that she couldn't name, and every vegetable leaf on the plate seemed to have been carefully arranged.
She took her meal and hid in a corner, and for some reason the food on her plate had become so hard to swallow today.
Seeing that she looked like she couldn't swallow, the old handyman seemed to have seen through her thoughts, and sneered coldly: "What? Not to your liking? ”
Jing Xun turned around at this time, shook his head and said, "No. ”
"If you have someone Yun Niangniang's rich life, don't say these plates of vegetarian dishes, there are all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas!" The old handyman patted his apron and pouted again, "You, if you don't have that life, be honest and easy-going, you see you like this, who wants to associate with you?" Don't always have a sad face every day! ”
With that, the old handyman secretly took out a small package of oiled paper from his apron pocket and handed it to Jing Xun.
Jing Xun asked suspiciously, "What is this?" ”
The old handyman looked around and no one noticed him, and he replied in a low voice: "I just prepared food in the dining room, I saw that the lady's pastries were exquisite, and I thought that I forgot to leave you food last time, and this is what I specially took out for you, and it can be regarded as an apology to you." ”
Jing Xun opened the oil paper bag, and inside was a small and delicate eight-treasure steamed bun, although it was already cold, but she carefully broke it, and the sweetness of the praline molasses inside instantly soaked her heart and spleen.
She carefully took a small sip of the outer puff pastry on the outer skin, and then hurriedly wrapped the oil paper and put it in her placket in a panic, for fear that others would see it.
The bright moon in the mountains was bright, outlining the cold outline of the pavilion, and it was also reflected on her bloodless face.
She took out the snacks that the old handyman had given her, and thought about the recent days in her mind.
Yun Guifei's gorgeous clothes, precious jewelry, all-over style, and the mighty guard of honor......
It was all like a sharp blade, deep in her mind.
She studied the snack in the moonlight, and a cold evening breeze blew through the ends of her hair, and she stood in front of the window and lamented deeply, not knowing whether to lament her uncertain future or something else......
