The Golden Bough and the Dog Verse 100

"At the age of thirteen, I began to go back and forth to the barracks, and the captains and overseers close to me were all honest and generous people such as Zhuang Lian, always reminding me to follow the ancestral teachings and beware of any bad habits that I contracted in."

"I admit that I have a very bad temperament, I speak in disgust, and I have many shortcomings, but compared to my ancestors, I ......" Yun Zhu threw the question to Tang Xian, "You have been with me for so long, do you think I have something strange?" ”

"Hmm......" Tang Xian really couldn't think of it for a while, and folded her fingers to recall the bits and pieces of the past.

Yun stopped his temperament, held grudges, and had a poisonous mouth, but he really didn't have any habits like the Yun family's ancestors, such as being thirsty for killing and warlike, afraid of water, asking for immortals, liking to raise wild beasts, and being a cook.

Even in Yun'an's case, he didn't have it.

Tang Xian thought about it again and again, and said with emotion: "It's really not easy for the old lady Baili for so many years. ”

Yun stopped and said: "It's okay, the main thing is that there is a precedent, and it can be constrained by the ancestral teachings, and it can be raised according to it." ”

Ancestral training Tang Xian understood, not the ancestral training of the Baili family, it was the Yun family, and it was engraved in front of the mausoleum of Emperor Shengzong.

It's a pity that it was passed down for a few generations, and it was abandoned by the descendants of the bastards.

Tang Xian is now curious about the so-called precedent, "What precedent?" ”

Yun stopped answering, and Tang Xian was shocked: "You raised it according to the clouds from the mirror?" ”

Yun Congjing was the only son of Emperor Shengzong and Empress Yu, who created the most glorious decades of the Yun Dynasty and was one of the most prestigious emperors.

Tang Xian was incredulous, "According to what he raised, then how did you grow into the virtue you have now?" ”

Yun Zhu's throat choked, the handsome face was slowly covered with frost, his eyes were cold, and he asked, "...... What virtue do I have? ”

Tang Xian: "......"

Just when Yun Zhu was about to break out and teach people a lesson, Yun Xuan behind the two turned over and opened his eyes in a daze.

She was the first to see Yun Zhu, rubbed her eyes and shouted, "Brother, thirsty ......"

Yun Zhu's eyes were cold, and he saved face for Tang Xian in front of Yun Yuan, and didn't teach her a lesson.

After pouring water for Yun Yuan, Tang Xian had already helped Yun Yuan to sit up, showed him a coquettish and flattering smile, and took the cup to feed Yun Yuan.

Yun Yuan drank water, recovered his spirit slightly, scratched the red marks on his face, and remembered that he was beaten by Yun Stop before going to bed, his eyes were closed, and his cry started again, "Brother beat me, woo woo woo......

.

A few days later, on a dimly lit morning, Tang Xian's body trembled and woke up without warning.

Lying on the bed with the curtain half-hanging, she saw the dark and oppressive sky outside.

Tang Xian's heart was beating rapidly, and her heart was in a trance, thinking several times that she had returned to a summer day before she was fifteen years old.

This is how she woke up from a nap one summer afternoon, with her young sister sleeping soundly at her side.

It's not afternoon, it's early morning, it's still early, and the sky outside is overcast, which is a sign of rain.

Tang Xian lay quietly for a while, turned over, and saw Yun Xuan sleeping soundly inside.

She touched Yun's fleshy face, and for a while she was in a trance, and found that her heart was beating wildly, but she still couldn't meditate, so she quietly got up.

When he got outside, he ordered the palace maid who was keeping vigil to take care of Yun Yuan, and Tang Xian went to the side hall lightly.

Since the twins were admitted to the palace, Tang Xian asked Rue Xiang and Liu Tao to follow them separately, and it was Ru Xiang who was guarding outside Tang Shu's room.

Rue Xiang was surprised that Tang Xian had come over so early, Tang Xian shook her head and said nothing, confirmed that Tang Shu was inside, and entered silently.

She took off her shoes and went to bed, and when she lay down, she still alarmed Tang Shu.

"Sister......" Tang Shu shouted in confusion.

Tang Xian patted her on the back and coaxed in a low voice: "It's okay, my sister misses you, come and squeeze with you." ”

Tang Shu's sleepy eyes were hazy, and she didn't know if she heard clearly, she was sure that it was her sister who came, so she obediently let her hold her and closed her eyes again.

In the past, when they were still in the capital, Tang Shu was young and did not want to sleep peacefully in her own yard, so she had to come to squeeze Tang Xian.

It's just a squeeze in autumn and winter, and it has to be stuck in midsummer, which makes the two of them sweat and sticky every time.

Now it's time for Tang Xian to squeeze her.

She touched Tang Shu's sleeping blushing face, rubbed her face against it, and became intimate, just like when they were young, carefree little sisters of the Tang family many years ago.

is probably connected by blood, next to her sister, Tang Xian's heart is finally calm.

I don't know how long I slept like this, it was crackling and raining outside, and the quiet palace was lively at this moment.

In the noisy sound of rain falling, there were the footsteps of the palace people hurriedly avoiding the rain, the sound of the rustling wind, and an anxious voice that seemed to float in and out...... The lord and the lady are back! I'm back—"

The time seems to be connected to the days before Tang Xian was fifteen years old, before her father and mother went out, she asked her younger brothers and sisters to teach her younger brothers and sisters to read and write, she was greedy, and took her twins to steal cold food while her father and mother were away.

On the upside, a maid hurriedly came to report: "Little sister, the lord and the lady are back—"

Daddy and mother don't allow them to eat more cold food.

The three sisters and brothers teamed up with the maid and hurriedly hid their things.

“…… When the lord and the lady returned, they waited in the main hall to meet the saint, and the lady ......"

It's strange that the maid calls her a mother.

Empress......

Tang Xian opened her eyes and sat up from the couch in shock, her sweaty sideburns sticking to her face, and she stared motionless at the curtains in the room.

“…… What's wrong? Tang Shu was shocked by her movements, and her mind was still in chaos, so she sat up in a daze.

Tang Xian's hands and feet trembled, and she hugged Tang Shu tightly into her arms, her face pressed against the top of her hair, and she continued to stare at the curtain intently.

The rain fell like falling beads, "popping and clicking," and blurred the surrounding sounds.

"Sister......" Tang Shu shouted strangely, and was hugged tighter.

"Don't make a sound." Tang Xian didn't dare to come out.

She listened to the sound of the rain and the chaotic beating of her own heart, and waited for a long, long time, but no one shouted again.

Tang Xian began to suspect that she was dreaming.

But at this moment, there was a sound of hurried footsteps in the sound of falling rain, and it sounded outside the curtain, and very quickly, the curtain was lifted from the outside.

Liu Tao stumbled in, and said breathlessly to the two sisters who were snuggling up to each other on the couch, a nervous and confused, "Niangniang, master, lord and lady are back!" ”

Chapter 82: Leaving the Palace

Tang Xian's hands trembled.

Seeing her younger siblings was unexpected, and she didn't have time to make any preparations before the two of them appeared in front of her.

See parents differently.

Tang Xian deeply realized what it means to be close to home.

Looking at herself in the mirror, she felt that everything was strange for a while, and then she felt that she was just too thin compared to many years ago.

In the past, she was the same as Tang Shu, and her face was round.

Tang Xian puffed out her cheeks and made her face as round as possible.

The appearance in the mirror is very unnatural.

No matter how hard she tries, she won't be able to get back to the way she was five years ago.

I don't know if my father and mother can still recognize her, and will she not recognize my father?

Tang Xian's restlessness was obvious to everyone, but no one could go up to comfort her, they could only watch her suffer.

The sound of the rain was slow and slow.

On the cobblestone path, Yanxia trotted over with an umbrella, and when she arrived outside the hall, she threw the umbrella and jumped into the house, saying: "Gongzi asked me to pass the word to Niangniang, Lord Tang and his wife should first face the saint in the main hall, and then leave the palace to place their bags, and they will be able to pick you out of the palace tomorrow." ”

Tang Xian's hand pressed against her heart, her lips moved, and she made a shallow voice for a long time, "...... Hmmm......"

That's how it should be.

The identity of the father and mother is special, and only after the face of the saint in the palace can they appear in a dignified manner.

She is the head of the concubines, and if she wants to leave free, she needs to be released like the rest of the concubines, and then she can escape, otherwise she will defect.

Tang Xian sat in front of the window, facing the rain curtain, trying to keep calm.

The palace people slowed their steps with a look in their eyes, Tang Shu and Tang Nianzhi glanced at each other, and no one dared to step forward easily.

Tang Shu used to be close, and as soon as she caught her eyes, she was pressed into Tang Xian's arms, and for a full two quarters of an hour, she couldn't move.

She couldn't stand it anymore, and after withdrawing, she didn't come any closer.

Yun Yuan didn't understand what was wrong, and asked, "Don't you know how to read today?" ”

"Yes." Tang Shu said, "Come here, I'll teach you." ”

Yun Yuan said: "I want my sister-in-law to teach." ”

After so long, Tang Nianzhi still couldn't accept that Tang Xian would marry into the royal family again, and when he heard this, his scalp exploded and he said, "Who is your sister-in-law?" Don't shout! ”

He was willing to believe that Tang Xian was using Yun Stop, and he was willing that Tang Xian was bent on stealing the Yun Clan!

"My brother said that if I quarrel with you, it will make my sister-in-law embarrassed, so I will let you." Yun puffed out his cheeks and said, "I don't want my sister-in-law to be embarrassed." Say whatever you want, I won't quarrel with you. ”

It was as if his brother and sister were intimate with Tang Xian, and Tang Nianzhi was unreasonable.

Tang Nianzhi trembled and pointed at Yun Yuan, so angry that he couldn't speak, "You, you are the same as your brother, you are a ......."

“…… It's just a pretty little girl! Tang Shu pressed down Tang Nianzhi's hand and prevented him from speaking again.

Turning to Yun Yuan, she said, "I'll teach you, what I will will will be taught by my sister." ”

Yun Yuan grabbed the curtain and looked at Tang Xian again, convinced that she would not be able to come back to her senses for a while, so she reluctantly agreed.

.

Tang Xiyuan, who was received by Yun Zhu in the main hall, was attended by Bai Taishi, three political doctors, and officials and others.

The relationship had been exposed, and after Tang Xiyuan and his wife entered the palace, they first met the emperor, then saluted with Bai Taishi and other old people, and finally, smiled and bowed to Meng Siqing.

Relatives are distant and close, and it is clear at a glance.

Yun stopped once again glad that Meng Siqing had already married.
