On this day, Ou Suying was rehearsing for the first whole dance, and found Bian Linglan to watch and comment together.

The crown prince Liu is here.

"Nanxing, why are you here?" Usually the two meet at night, and they are busy during the day, and rarely meet.

"Rest today."

Liu knew that Ou Suying was going to show his choreographed dance drama today, so he came to cheer on the show. At such an important moment, how can there be only Bian Linglan and not herself.

"I'm sure you're refreshed," Ou Suying said proudly.

The music sounded, and the little swans came out from behind the curtain one by one and danced to the music.

Ou Suying pointed to the dancing girl who had inconsistent movements, and said softly, "Her name is Li Yanran, and she is a big star who I plan to become popular, and I will build her into the most well-known and powerful dancing girl in Chang'an City." ”

Li Yanran is a native of Zhongshan, came to Chang'an to find relatives in vain, lived on the streets, and was brought back to Xianle Fang by Ou Suying.

"You can." Liu said that he was a major star in that era. He knew what a big star meant, and he knew that Ou Suying liked this job.

Although some dancers' movements are not skillful enough, they still present the appearance that Ou Suying wants more completely.

"What do you think of this swan dance?"

Natural Ou Suying has received unanimous praise.

"If you are more skilled in rehearsals, you can perform in a formal manner, but you have to perform before the cold weather, this dance costume is too thin, and it is impossible to wear it when it is cold in winter."

"How did you come up with this kind of dance drama? It's unheard of, unseen! ”

Bian Linglan asked excitedly.

"Hahaha, I got my inspiration from the swan! The movements of the dancers are all imitations of swans. Ou Suying explained.

"Swans? The geese are all dumbfounded, how can they have such an aura? ”

Ou Suying knew that Bian Suying confused the swan with the geese, and was busy explaining, depicting the appearance and habits of the swan, and distinguishing the egrets, herons, white pigeons, and white cranes mentioned by Bian Suling and Liu According to them, and finally Ou Suying suddenly had a familiar and annoying thought: There were no swans in the Han Dynasty.

Ou Suying was startled, went backstage and carried all the swan dance costumes to the yard, and set them on fire.

The dancers had just changed their clothes and were talking about Fang Cai's performance, when they suddenly saw Ou Suying come in, took out the dance clothes and burned them, thinking of the shortcomings in their performances, they thought that Ou Suying was angry, so they didn't dare to come forward to ask, they hid in the room and peeped, talking in a whisper. Bian Linglan didn't understand what happened to Ou Suying suddenly, and sent the snooping dancers to disperse.

Ou Suying crouched in front of the fire and broke down and cried.

There was no hysteria, no wailing, but the silence with his head buried in his knees, so lonely, helpless, and confused.

Liu Ju stroked her back, "Su Ying, tell me, what's going on?" ”

"If there are no swans, where is the swan dance?"

Ou Suying thought sadly, not to mention those advanced scientific and technological products, even the animals and plants are different. In modern times, every household has tomatoes, sweet potatoes, corn cobs, red watermelons, there are no here, not to mention foreign dogs such as golden retriever Pomeranians, there is not even a Chinese pastoral cat here. There is nothing strange about the absence of a swan?

"It's your hometown dance, isn't it?"

"Nanxing, I'm homesick."

Liu understood that everything here was too far from Ou Suying's era. He understood Ou Suying's discomfort and her loneliness.

"Yes, there must be, I'll find it for you."

Liu Ju comforted Ou Suying. I may not be able to do the airplane, mobile phone, and subway you said, but the swan you mentioned, since it exists, then I can definitely find it. Our Han Dynasty has a vast territory and strong national strength, whether the swan is in the land of my Han Dynasty, or far away in the Xiongnu, or even the countries of the Western Regions or beyond, it will definitely be found.

After crying and venting, Ou Suying was much more comfortable.

"Su Ying, I'm okay today, I'll take you to Shanglin Yuan to relax."

"Well, I've heard that it is a famous royal garden, which is bigger than all the gardens of the previous dynasty." Ou Suying understood Liu Ju's intentions and immediately agreed.

When he was in the sword family of Qi State, Xun Waifu once taught "Shanglin Fu", and the scenery and architecture depicted in the Fu were better than those of the Summer Palace.

Today, Liu Ju is not without incident.

I was ordered by the emperor to inspect the construction process of Maolingyi, but I just stopped by to see Ou Suying in Xianle Fang. It's just that Ou Suying was so sad that she asked Liu Ju to leave her and go to work, Liu Ju couldn't rest assured.

Then take your daughter-in-law to work together, anyway, it's a short-distance business trip and a public trip.

Shanglin Garden is very large, and it is sure that you can't finish shopping in one day. Liu Ju took Ou Suying, crossed the Wei River, and went to Maolingyi to enjoy the scenery all the way in Shanglinyuan.

"In the future, I will often take you to play and take a look at Shanglin Yuan."

"Okay, this pure natural air, this pure natural scenery, how many times have I come and I don't get tired of it!"

"There is a Bailiang platform in the north of Weiyang Palace, and you can see the scene of the entire Chang'an City and the Shanglin Garden on the periphery. Looking for an opportunity in the future, I'll take you up to see it. My father, the emperor and my mother often feasted and enjoyed the scenery there. ”

Maoling.

"When the emperor takes death so seriously? To build such a large mausoleum, and to move so many people, this is simply a city!" Ou Suying sighed.

Although I have never seen the Han Emperor Liu Che, but I heard Liu Che mention it, I know that Liu Che is less than fifty years old, he is in the prime of life, and his body is very good, where is he in such a hurry to build a mausoleum, and it seems that this Maoling place is far away, but it is much larger than Yangling and Changling.

"Of course, everyone attaches importance to death, doesn't your hometown value life and death?"

"I value it too, but I don't value it so much. We can't afford to buy such a big place to bury people. When a person dies, he is cremated and burned to ashes, put it in an urn, and rent a compartment in a funeral parlor to keep it. The living, thinking of him, went to the funeral parlor to find the lattice and see. ”

"It's too embarrassing."

"Yes, but people don't know anything when they die, and of course the place is left to the living."

"There is no need to be so wronged in my Han, everyone has a large piece of land, they can have food and clothing for life, and they can be buried when they die."

Suddenly, I heard a woman crying.

Ou Suying glanced at Liu Yu strangely.

The two drove their horses uphill, and saw a woman in pain in front of the mountain-shaped tomb not far away.

"Check it out." Liu said.

"You know?"

Liu Ju shook his head.

"Don't know what to see? When someone dies, what's there to look at? ”

"That's the tomb of Marquis Jinghuan."

can be buried here, Ou Suying of course guessed that the identity of the deceased is extraordinary, either the royal family or the marquis. "Who is Marquis Jinghuan?"

"Huo Quai."

"Huh?" This name, Ou Suying still knows, a famous general of the Han Dynasty, who has been played in TV series. Isn't it a general? "Isn't he a hussar general? Also feuded? ”

"Have you heard of him?"

"Yes, there is a story about him in my hometown."

"What do you think of him?"

"Attacking the Huns, he made great achievements, and he was a powerful general. But we don't fight there anymore, and the Huns have changed their names, I don't know what they have changed, but they are all the same as the Han people, living together, there is no difference. ”

Liu Ju was silent for a while before he spoke, "It's good." ”

"Nanxing, tell me about this general, I thought he was in the barracks, but he has died."

Liu Ju looked at the Qilian Mountain-shaped cemetery and recalled, "When General Huo died, I was still young, and I remember that he still put me around his neck and carried me to get the bird's nest on the tree, which was the ginkgo tree north of the Changding Palace. Then he was seen by Uncle Wei, and Uncle Wei punished him. He did fight a lot of battles with Uncle Wei, and once went deep into the Xiongnu, captured the Xiongnu Shan Yu's family, and brought it to Chang'an. My father valued him very much, and knew that he was not in good health, and he was alone and had no family, so he asked the palace doctor to regulate his body. Even his father wanted to marry Mingyan's sister to him and take care of him. Guess what he said? ”

Ou Suying shook her head.

"The Huns have not been destroyed, why should they be at home? When my father heard this, he loved him even more. not only named him the general of the Great Sima Hussar, but also named him the champion Hou. But not long after, General Huo fell from his horse and died, and his father was very sad, so he posthumously called him Marquis Jinghuan and buried him in this mausoleum, hoping that Huo Qu's illness would still guard him a hundred years later. ”

"He is really a loyal and patriotic person, no wonder he can be famous through the ages. Nanxing, didn't he marry Sister Mingyan, nor did he marry another woman? Such a big husband, has he never been married in his life? ”

"I haven't heard that he has a marriage, but I heard Uncle Wei say that he has a girl he likes very much, called, called, called Yuanxia. General Huo was a heavy drinker during his lifetime, and he shouted Yuanxia's name whenever he was drunk. Later, once General Huo was drunk and ran out of the city on horseback, saying that he was looking for Yuanxia, and everyone followed, and saw him fall off his horse, and he was seriously injured, and died in a few days. ”

Ou Suying sighed. "How can the early death of a hero not be sad? Look how sad the woman wept. Huh! Nanxing, she can't be Yuanxia, right? ”

"I don't know, but someone is so sad in front of the tomb of Marquis Jinghuan, since they have encountered it, how can they not ask?"

When he came to him, he saw that the woman was dressed in plain clothes, with white flowers, and the straw sandals on her feet were very worn, and she was about thirty years old, and she was blind. In front of her lay dried cakes, bait, fruits, and other sacrificial objects.

When the woman heard the noise, it seemed that someone was standing beside her, so she stopped crying and tilted her head and waited for someone to speak. Ou Suying shook her hand in front of the woman, confirming her conjecture, and looked back at Liu Ju in surprise.

"Do you know that this is the tomb of Jinghuan Hou Huo's illness?" Liu asked.

The woman nodded, "The slave knows." ”

"Who are you? Why weep here? ”

"The slave family is Huo Hou's unmarried wife, Yuan Xia."

Yuan Xia is the daughter of a farmer in Pingyang, and she has known Huo Quzhi since childhood, and she is a childhood sweetheart. Later, the two fell in love with each other and wanted to get married. Yuan Xia's parents disliked Huo Qubing as a homeless man without a father and mother, and did not agree to the marriage between the two. Huo Quzhi said that he wanted to join the army and make meritorious contributions. After the two got married, Huo Qubing went to join the army.

Years later.

Huo Qubing fought against the Xiongnu army in the north, and with his military exploits, he was made a general. wanted to marry Yuan Xia, but was still rejected by Yuan Xia's parents, saying that Yuan Xia had married someone else, and she didn't even see Yuan Xia's face.

Since then, Huo Quzhi will get drunk and go crazy every time he rests.

"Yuan Xia, are you really married someone else?"

Ou Suying asked.

Yuan Xia shook her head, "Never." ”

"Then why did your parents deceive him? He has achieved fame, and he has not changed his mind about you, shouldn't you be married? Ou Suying was puzzled.

"It's that I don't think I'm worthy of him. After he left, I often went to the ridge head to wait for him. Later, I developed an eye disease and could no longer see. One day, I went to Tian Langtou to wait for him, and I heard someone ask, 'Can the eastern slope of Binh Duong be ahead?' Where do you know where Yuanfeng Farmhouse is? I looked up at him. When he saw that I couldn't see, he confessed and left. I couldn't see him, but I knew his voice. He is the Langjun I have been waiting for, Huo Quai. Two days later, Huo Qubing found my house and asked for marriage. After a few years of separation, you don't know me anymore, but you have a deep love! His parents were also ashamed, they looked down on him at the beginning, and later, how could he be rich and noble to slap him again. I asked my parents to turn him down. ”

After a few years of separation, you don't know me anymore, but you have a deep love!

The two have been separated for many years, and the original girl has grown up, her appearance has changed, and she has become blind, and she does not know each other.

Ou Suying burst into tears when she heard this.

After inquiry, he learned that the elder of Yuanxia's family had passed away and was alone, so he asked for her consent and took her back to Xianle Fang to live together.

"Nanxing, if we are separated, you must remember what I look like."

"We will not be separated, you have crossed thousands of years to come to me, how can I be separated from you. I can't bear you, Suying. ”

When resting in the palace, Ou Suying asked, "This place is called Maoling, is there any allusion?" ”

Liu Ju took Ou Suying to stand on a high place, pointed to a place in the south and said, "Have you seen those yellow trees dozens of feet high?" ”

"Hmm"

Among the large red, yellow, green and green bushes, a few tall golden trees stand out.

"It's a ginkgo tree, also known as an immortal tree. Spring green branches, autumn yellow fruit. It all started decades ago. At that time, my father was not a prince when he was young, and the queen mother was still the wife of the former emperor. Madame Wang was sick and had no money to buy medicine, but my father heard that there was a tree called the Immortal Tree, which was edible and cured of pain. So I found it, planted it in the garden, watered and weeded it every day, and took care of it. The tree has not yet grown, but Mrs. Wang's illness has been cured. Grateful for their father's filial piety, the two have been taking care of the tree. Later, his father became the crown prince and moved out of his original residence with Mrs. Wang. Later, when the Changle Palace was repaired and expanded, the palace people eradicated the burrow and found that the ginkgo tree was uncared for, and it was so lush that it grew luxuriantly, and told his father. My father recalled the old things, so he built the Changding Hall according to this tree. ”

"Is that the palace where you live?" Ou Suying remembered that there was a ginkgo tree in the yard.

"Yes. Once, when my father was hunting, he saw those trees over there and thought it was providence. The tree of immortality here appeared in front of the emperor again. Set this place as the mausoleum to expand the yi, see the branches and leaves of the longevity tree luxuriant, want the Han Dynasty to prosper forever, and order this place to be Maolingyi. ”

"Nanxing, I'll secretly complain, your father is really superstitious."

"Hahaha, you are not allowed to say this to others."

"I know, hey, hey, hey. Let me tell you, the ginkgo tree does live for a long time, and the ginkgo tree in some scenic spots is thousands of years old, I don't know if it lived from this time to that time! ”

"Then I have to take good care of the tree in front of my temple."
