Chapter 169: Jian Di swallows the colorful swallow egg

Zhang Xuanchu said: "Knowing the story of "abandonment", then the story of the deed should be equally exciting. Yulan said: "Yes, this story is going to be linked from the previous story, and after abandoning it, I will send Jian Di home, and the story will start here."

Let's say that when Emperor Yu and Jian Di arrived in Youjuan Country, Jian Di's father Youyu had already come to greet them. Some marquis expected that the emperor or will come in person, for the sake of respect, specially built a nine-story high platform, and when the emperor arrived, he invited the emperor to the platform to enjoy.

In the evening, they set up a feast on the stage to entertain them, and the lady of the Marquis also came out to accompany them, and at one time they hit the bell and beat the drums, played music and sang, which was very lively. Two days later, Emperor Yu said to Jian Di: "It is rare for you to return home once, just to get together with your second relatives, I plan to visit the west again, and go back and forth for about many days, and when I return, I will return with you." ”

The next day, Emperor Yu really left for the door. Here Jian Di and his parents are reunited, so happy. Jian Di has a girl named Jianfang, who is only in her twenties, born lively and intelligent, and is good at games.

I was especially happy to meet Jian Di when I came home this time, and I pestered Jian Di almost all day and night, not to say, but to laugh, or naughty, only to hinder the emperor outside, sometimes I had to ask Jian Di to talk, and I couldn't talk and chat freely. Coincidentally, the emperor went on a tour to the west, and she immediately said to her mother: "This time my sister is the concubine, we must not neglect her, we must respectfully invite her." ”

Her mother smiled and said, "When my sister came, didn't she already invite her, how else do you ask for the Fa?" Now I want to invite the concubine Niangniang, just like inviting the emperor that day, so I can be respectful!"

When Jian Di heard this, she hurriedly covered her mouth with a smile and said, "Don't mess around anymore." Jian Jian pushed it away with his hand and said, "Don't be polite to the concubine, I must invite you." ”

At that moment, her mother said, "It's good, it's good." The day before yesterday, I built this nine-story platform, I only went up once, both at night, and to salute, really did not have a careful tour, we are the Ming Dynasty to the stage to have lunch. ”

"Great, wonderful, that's still there." Wouldn't it be more fun for us to eat at lunchtime tomorrow while banging the bells and beating the drums?"

So I went to tell Youjuan, and Youjuan also allowed it. The next day, everyone went to the stage and looked in all directions, but they saw that the Buzhou Mountain in the south was towering above the clouds, and there was still a lot of snow on it. To the east, the sea is endless. A patch of quicksand looms in the northwest. Jian Wei pointed with his finger and said to Jian Di: "Sister, where is the emperor, do you see it? He is still there to commemorate you." ”

While talking and laughing, I suddenly saw a pair of swallows flying up and down from the front. Jian Di's mother said: "There are swallows now, and this year's swallows are coming early." Jian Di said: "No, this year's solar term is early." Although it was the beginning of mid-spring, it was almost the equinox, so the swallows also came. ”

Jian Jian smiled: "No, no, it is because the emperor and the concubine Niangniang both came, so they also came, and the Ming Dynasty will go together." ”

Her mother reprimanded her: "Don't be so naughty, how can you compare the swallow to the emperor, it's really disrespectful, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty knows about it, and he will punish you." ”

Jian Jian smiled, and was just about to answer the words, when suddenly he saw the palace people coming to invite him to dinner, and everyone sat down together. Jian Di must drag Jian Di to sit in the first place, Jian Di said: "Good sister, don't mess around, let's eat, how can there be a reason in the world for a daughter to sit on top of her mother?"

Jian Wei said: "You are the concubine Niangniang, where can you take the truth of an ordinary daughter?"

Jian Di must not follow, Jian Fang had to stop, just as he was eating, Jian Fang saw the musical instrument, and said: "There are so many ready-made musical instruments, why don't we send the musicians and ask them to play music." His mother Zhengse said: "This is not possible, the Son of Heaven can only play music when he eats." When we eat and play music, isn't it a usurpation of the gift of the Son of Heaven? ”

Jian Wei smiled: "It doesn't matter now, although the Son of Heaven is not here, the concubine Niangniang is here, just like the Son of Heaven, afraid of him." Her mother shook her hand and said, "This is absolutely impossible!" Jian Wei said: "Then let's change it, don't hit the bell, just beat the drum, don't pass on the music, just ask the palace people to do it, and finally the concubine Niangniang is lower than the Son of Heaven, and it doesn't matter if you want to come." ”

As she spoke, whether her mother allowed it or not, she immediately asked the palace people to beat the drums, and she listened to them while eating, and when she heard the sound of the drums, she was overjoyed, and said: "Interesting, interesting, every time I eat in the future, I must ask someone to beat the drum next to me, which is also a way to have fun." When everyone came to see her move, they all smiled at her. When the meal was over, the drumming stopped. Her mother stepped down first, and the two sisters laughed and talked for a while. Just about to get off the stage, I saw the pair of swallows just now fly again until they reached the stage.

Jian Di hurriedly called Jian Di and said, "Sister, let's catch it." So saying, he caught it with his hand.

Jian Di was very interesting to see this pair of swallows, and also helped them catch them. The swallow flies the fastest among all kinds of birds, which is impossible to catch, but it is strange that this pair of swallows has a random cry in their mouths, but they fly around, stop in the east, breathe in the west, and never fly out of the country. Suddenly, Jian Jian caught one, and another one was also caught by the palace people. In a hurry, there was no object to place it, so it happened that there was a jade basket next to it, so it was used to occupy and cover it. At this time, Jian's cheeks were flushed, and he was angry, and said to Jian Di: "There is a cage for raising birds in my palace, which can be raised. ”

As he spoke, he asked the palace people to go to the caries and get it after a while, and Jianfang was going to uncover the jade basket. Jian Di said: "You have to be careful, don't let it escape!" Jian Wei said: "No, no." ”

As soon as the basket opened slightly, they squeezed out of the crack, and flew north in both directions. Jian Di also said repeatedly: "It's a pity, it's a pity!"

When the two sisters saw it, they rejoiced and whispered, "It is strange that two eggs have been laid at this moment, and these two swallows are not a male and female pair, but both are females?"

The palace people came to see it because swallow eggs were uncommon things. Jian Jian was even more happy, and shouted to Jian Di: "Sister, our things are very strange and happy, we must make a song as a commemoration." When Jian Di heard about it, she also agreed. So the two sisters wrote a song together, titled "Yanyan Flying". It is said that the syllables of this song are very wonderful, and later generations have promoted her as the ancestor of Beiyin, but unfortunately the lyrics have been lost for a long time.

Let's say that after the second daughter finished the song, it was not too early, so she took the second egg and returned to the palace. After two days, the weather of the equinox suddenly melted and the spring light was very bright. Jianfeng also told her mother that she wanted to go to the countryside with Jian Di.

Her mother said: "I'm thinking here, your sister has been an imperial concubine for many years, and she hasn't had children yet, this matter is a very important matter." There is a high temple five miles away from this place, and the shrine is Nuwa Niangniang, which is said to be extremely effective. Tomorrow is the spring equinox, and I plan to ask your sister to pay homage to Nuwa Niangniang, and ask for a son, and it is good for you to go and play with you. ”

He asked Jian Di again: "What do you think?" Although Jian Di was embarrassed, she couldn't bear to disobey her mother's wishes, and she knew about Jiang Yan praying for a son in the palace, so she agreed, so she went to fast Mu Yu The next day, her mother had already prepared the sacrifice, and she saw her two sisters leave. came to the suburbs, but saw the willow eyes by the waterside gradually greening, and the mountain Languang smiled slightly, and couldn't help but feel relaxed.

After walking for a long time, I came to a mound and saw a temple, facing the east, although it was not very grand, but it was also very neat. The two sisters walked in together, and after praying sincerely, Jian Di rested in the temple and asked the attendant, "What is the name of this mound?"

The man said, "It's called Xuanqiu." The pond under the hill over there is called Xuanchi, also known as Xuanpu. Because the bottom of the water is very deep and the water color is black, it is called that. ”

As soon as Jian Jian heard this, he dragged Jian Di to see it. When I got to the bottom of the hill, I saw a pool of water, but it was dark and dreary, about five zhang straight, and more than eight zhang horizontal. On the south corner, a flat stone gushes out of the water, and it is not known whether it was born or placed there by man.

Jian Di asked from humanity: "Does this pool water have an outlet?" from humanity: "There is an outlet." The gap in the northeast corner is the road to the outside. This flow is called black water, and it goes down to the weak water. But the water in this pond is a warm spring, and no matter how cold it is, it never freezes, but it gets cold outside. ”

When Jian Jian heard that the water in this pool was warm, he was strange, so he said to Jian Di: "There is warm spring water in the world, it is strange!"

Jian Di said: "What's so strange? In the world, there are so many such hot springs." The month before last, I heard the emperor say that there is a hot spring in Liangshan, and the emperor went to take a bath. Jian Di hurriedly asked, "Can I take a bath?" Jian Di said: "What can't I wash?" It is said that some people with skin diseases can also take a bath to cure their diseases. ”

Jian Wei said: "I am really sad to walk all over sweat today, so we will take a bath here, which is also rare." Jian Di smiled: "Don't mess around, you don't suffer from skin diseases, what are you doing washing him?" Besides, under the blue sky and daylight, the entourage and others are here, and we two women are naked and bathing, what do we look like?"

Jian Wei said: "Bathing is just fun, you say that I have no skin disease, is the emperor suffering from skin disease when he bathes in Liangshan? As for the entourage, they can be told to go away, and they are not allowed to be here." The rest of the people know that our monarch's daughter and the emperor's concubine are here, so of course they don't dare to come over, what are they afraid of him?"
