Chapter 227: The Fourteenth Master Class Returns to the Dynasty
The morning sun rises quietly in late winter and early spring, and the orange light flows in from the window, reflecting on Ah Xing's body, blending the girl's vigorous posture.
Ah Xing thought he was an adult in front of He Zhuo, and felt that he was really naïve, coupled with a strong sense of getting up, so he said coldly: "If you want to show me, open it now, and if you don't show it, forget it." The more she was unhappy, the more He Zhuo felt like it, and he pleaded: "Just close your eyes, it'll be fine for a while" Ah Xing was impatient, turned around and said: "If you don't show it, forget it, I'm hungry and want to eat breakfast." Seeing that she was leaving, He Zhuo hurriedly grabbed her and said, "Okay, I'll open it now." In front of Kangxi, the hairy boy pretended to be old, and when he got in front of the person he liked, he was immediately beaten back to his original form.
I don't know what mechanism he moved, but before he had to make two clicks, the planks around the box were taken down by him piece by piece.
Ah Xing was stunned for a moment, and exclaimed: "This is" He Zhuo raised his eyebrows and smiled: "You just say, is it fun?" Ah Xing leaned down, stared at the goldfish swimming around in the transparent tank, and said, "Where did you get it?" He Zhuo also leaned down, and Ah Xing almost face to face, and said: "A few years ago, the emperor rewarded me with a crystal snuff bottle, which was engraved with several goldfish for playing, and I moved my mind, if it is made of glass into a fish tank, it must be interesting, so I specially asked the craftsman to make it" He didn't finish speaking, Ah Xing turned his face and said, "Do you want to give it to me?" "In the Kangxi Dynasty, the price of glass was more expensive than gold, and it was more difficult to obtain, and only the aristocracy could use it.
Such a fish tank the size of two palms horizontally and vertically will cost hundreds of taels of silver. Ah Xing's breath fell on the side of He Zhuo's face, and he was so ashamed that his ears and neck were red, and he stammered: "Of course, I originally made it for you." Ah Xing was amused and said, "Good and decent, why did you stutter?" He Zhuo's thoughts were seen, and he turned his face and said hurriedly: "When did I stutter?" But it happened to be close to Ah Xing's nose, eye to eye, breathing wringing.
He was stunned, and then he stepped back in a panic, stumbling on Hongming's small pestle, and fell on all fours.
Ah Xing looked at his embarrassed appearance, first sneered, and then giggled so much that he couldn't stop laughing.
Rao I am a modern person, and I have to be impressed by the wisdom of He Zhuo. The small fish tank is not an ordinary small fish tank, and it can be closed with wooden planks around it so that it can be moved at any time and is not easy to break.
The wooden planks are turned over to form a small box with four frames at the bottom to hold up the fish tank. In order to pay attention to the beauty and good-looking, the glass around it is engraved with all kinds of patterns and birds and beasts, and I am afraid that the glass will cut my fingers, and I am also inlaid with a layer of gold at the edge.
Sending Hezhuo away, Ah Xing took Hongming to feed around the fish tank. I deliberately poked my mouth and said, "What's so good about this tank?" It's just a big palm, and it's too crowded to raise two fish, or a fish pond" Before I finished speaking, Ah Xingling retorted sharply: "Who really wants to raise fish?" It's a fun picture. "Look at her appearance, she actually wants to maintain Hezhuo.
Hongming even saved his favorite cake, tore it open and wrung it to feed the fish, lay on the kang table and said, "Eniang, let's catch a few black Marys from the fish pond and raise them to the fish tank, okay?" As long as they were happy, I didn't disagree, so I nodded, "Be careful not to fall overboard." The two sisters and brothers responded in unison, and happily shouted a few girls to go to the yard to catch fish.
As spring gradually blossomed, Amma's old injuries were almost healed, and she was able to walk around the garden on crutches by herself. I lived in Wanyan Mansion for two or three months, and I was a little homesick, so I chose a sunny day and took Ah Xing Hongming back to Baylor Mansion.
After the March 3rd Festival, the sun became warmer and warmer, the house changed spring shirts, and the peach blossoms and roses in the yard also emerged with small bones.
I went into the palace to greet Concubine De, she was an old man, she could eat a big bowl of rice at every meal, and her spirit was good, but Kangxi snubbed her, making her feel uncomfortable.
Concubine De moved a wicker chair and sat on the platform to bask in the sun, I stood on one side to accompany me, the spring light in the courtyard, the air contained the fragrance of grass, and the breeze was blowing, which was really refreshing.
Concubine De carefully tasted the fragrant tea and said, "The day after tomorrow is Concubine Tong's birthday, you should enter the palace to watch the play earlier." She didn't have children, and the emperor was very pitiful and liked to see the people below being filial to her. I was idle anyway, and I didn't care about entering the palace one more time, so I responded: "Yes, I know." Concubine De instructed again: "The etiquette prepared must not be too thin, and it must be similar to the one given to me, so as to save others from comparing and gossiping." "She is thoughtful, worried about the generous gifts given by other princes Fujin, and if I give it thinly, I will not lose face in front of Kangxi.
She always regarded me as a child, for fear that what I did would not be in order, so she took the trouble to tell me over and over again.
I understood her kindness and said respectfully: "Yes, I understand, E-Niang rest assured." "When he returned home in the evening, when he was late, he received a letter from the 14th, saying that he wanted to return to Beijing to discuss with Kangxi about the next year's invasion of Tsewang Alabutan and other matters, and he could arrive in the capital on March 16.
I pinched my fingers and counted, it was the tenth day of the first month, and I would go home in five days and fourteenth. I was so excited that I hardly slept all night, and in the early morning I called Fang Fujin to the house and asked her to send someone to clean up and down the house.
When Fang Fujin heard this, he was also overjoyed, and promised to go out again and again. When it came to Concubine Tong's birthday, before dawn, I aroused Ah Xing and Hongming to dress, and took a carriage to Chengqian Palace to congratulate her birthday while the sun was not out.
Concubine Tong is Kangxi's cousin and sister-in-law, her identity is like a deputy queen, and she is the highest ranking in the palace. Originally, she should have assisted in the affairs of the six palaces, but Concubine Tong was delicate, suffering from perennial illness, and the medicine jar had never been broken.
Therefore, Concubine De has always treated Concubine Tong Guifei very politely, and Concubine Tong is also a person who has escaped the dust, rarely cares about her position of power, and lives quietly in Chengqian Palace, even Kangxi's face is rare.
Even when they meet, sometimes they will be called by the old name
"Brother-in-law", both close and distant. As a result, their relationship is somewhat deformed, not like a normal couple.
Of course, no matter who Kangxi is with, they are not like a normal couple. Chengqian Palace has always been like a cold palace, and the door is full of birds.
Today, it is rare that the princes, grandsons, Fujin, and princesses are here, it is lively, firecrackers and firecrackers, Xiao Sheng's suona blows the palace is festive, and Concubine Tong can't help but smile on her face.
With Kangxi's will in front, no one dared to slack off, not only a play was placed in the front yard and the backyard, but also the people of Yuefu sang and danced in the hall.
Concubine De, Concubine Yi, and Concubine He led the concubines of the palace to laugh and laugh in front of them, listen to the music and watch the play. I drank the wine of the afternoon with the four blessings, the seven blessings, the eight blessings, and the nine blessings in a side hall, and my head was a little groggy, so I took a break on the kang.
At this time, I didn't know that Fourteen had returned to Beijing, and I was secretly calculating the day when Fourteen would go home.
Fourteen men and horses encountered a heavy rainstorm on the way, and many men and horses rolled down the hillside and were injured, so the army had to stop and camp to regroup.
Fourteen returned to his heart like an arrow, regardless of the wind and rain, and rode to the capital overnight with his two teams of personal guards.
He didn't even have time to see Kangxi, so he went home first. Knowing that Weiwei was in the palace to congratulate Concubine Tong on her birthday, she rushed into the palace non-stop.
He was wearing battle armor, dusty, but like a fool holding a large bouquet of wild flowers, through the palace corridor, through the Qianqing Palace, through the Chengqian Gate, all the way just asked: "What about the Fourteen Fujin?" ”
"Where's Vivi?"
"Ah Xing, what about your mother," said the palace maid
"Fourteen Fujin in the backyard," said the eunuch
"The Fourteenth Fujin is in the side hall," the ninth master said
"Your daughter-in-law is drinking," Ah Xing said
"E-Niang is asleep" Fourteen's feet did not stop, and he didn't have time to greet anyone. He rushed straight into the house and walked in front of Vivi.
The concubines who watched the play were puzzled, so they all got up and followed. The eighth and ninth masters had something to say, and they also followed.
and Ah Xinghong, Concubine Mingde, and the thirteenth master followed. They crowded at the door, and the four Fujin, Qifujin, and Bafujin inside looked at the formation, and they were all huddled together, laughing secretly.
The singers on the stage didn't know what was going on, and even the tune missed a few beats for a while. The window is wide open, and a peach blossom is planted under the porch, which blooms early due to the hot weather this year, and falls to the ground with broken red.
The spring light shone obliquely through the branches on Rose's body, and the sparse light and shadow rippled on her face.
Her cheeks were red, a smile was on her lips, and she slept soundly with only a thin jacket.
Fourteen looked at her quietly, but the villagers were timid, and they couldn't bear to wake her up. Actually, I slept very lightly and just closed my eyes and rested.
Originally, I had been listening to the four blessings and the eight blessings, and they were chattering about the gossip inside and outside the palace, as if urging life.
But at some point, the surroundings suddenly fell silent, and there was no sound. I moved my body, thinking that the banquet was over and they were about to leave the palace, so I couldn't help but feel anxious, so I forced myself to open my eyes.
At first glance, I saw Fourteen standing in front of me, holding a flower in his arms like a super fool.
I remembered that many years ago when he was a teenager and I was a girl, we were having a picnic by the lake, and he picked a handful of wildflowers for me out of nowhere.
I seemed to smell the scent of flowers and vanilla (I really smelled it), and I couldn't help but close my eyes again, intoxicated by my dreams.
Such a good dream, I want to stay a little longer. At the second glance, I saw Fourteen's face getting closer and closer to me, as if he had come to see him, his forehead was broad, his eagle eyes were sharp, his nose was high, his lips were vermilion, except that he was darker and thinner than before, he was still the same handsome and handsome.
I couldn't help but open my mouth and call out in a daze, this dream is so solid, it is not easy to break at all.
I closed my eyes tightly again, and said to myself, don't sleep anymore, this is Chengqian Palace, drunk and still asleep in the palace of Concubine Tong, how embarrassing it is to spread out, so I made enough strength to open my eyelids for the third time.
