Sweet Garden Bliss

When Ah Yuan rushed back to the capital from Zhuyang County, the peach blossoms had already bloomed and withered several times. Emperor Shenzong officially passed the throne to Song Zhenger, and he took two shadow guards with him, and left him who had been imprisoned for decades The palace, it is said, is going to practice Taoism and become a fairy...

There was a debate in the court again, because Emperor Song Ming, who had just ascended the throne, directly issued an order to welcome Princess Furui into the palace and become the mother of a country—the queen mother.

This generation seems to be a little messed up, Qi Ayuan is not the wife of Emperor Shenzong, and she has never been a queen before, she is about to become a queen mother, most of the old courtiers accept that she is incompetent.

This is not the most chaotic yet, rumors spread from the palace that the new emperor is proposing marriage to Song Haohao, the daughter of Princess Furui's family!

Although everyone knows that Song Zheng'er and Song Haohao were not blood siblings and absolutely not related by blood, but—but...

It was originally planned that after Song Zheng'er ascended the throne, the two Zhanpeng Zhantang brothers, who would cross the horse and travel around the border, had no choice but to stay in the capital to observe the follow-up development.

To be honest, Qi Ayuan has no interest in the title of Empress Dowager, and keeping her imprisoned in that resplendent palace for the rest of her life would be more interested in a dilapidated house with a bad yard. She has used all her abilities to act like a baby, and it is impossible to hang on to this title alone!

In the end, to be sure, the Empress Dowager Ah Yuan just has one more house and one more residence in the palace. She can enter and leave the palace as she pleases, and she can travel around the Song Dynasty, and even sail to other countries, such as those few Western nobles.Now I have become good friends with the Princess!

As for the old courtiers raising their beards to express their disapproval, the little emperor easily rejected it with a single sentence: "This is my family matter, where does Ai Qing's anger come from?"

It's just like the rhythm of "what are you doing" that I heard when I questioned Princess Furui's remarriage!

However, the "Queen Dowager" firmly opposes the current Song Zheng'er wanting to marry Song Haohao. Why?Too young!

Isn't it enough to explain the problem with the bad examples of the Song family who died young for several generations?Get married so early, and then recruit concubines, eager to blossom and bear fruit.I haven't grown well myself, can the seeds planted be strong?

"At least, you have to wait until...".This is the deadline given by Ah Yuan.

Therefore, there is no one in Song Zhenger's harem—where is there a harem?Except for a place like a nursing home, several concubines of Emperor Shenzong who refused to leave the palace lived there.

At the same time, this time limit also stipulated the marriage age of the other two boys.Even if Bai Chengguang, who is still stationed in Qiyang, repeatedly urged him, hoping to see his sons get married and have grandchildren as soon as possible, he still couldn't change the "Queen Dowager"'s will, right?

The matter of the sons has been settled. As for when Song Haohao will agree to Song Zhenger's marriage proposal, then don't worry about it.Anyway, it's a family, no one can be strong to anyone.

but.Song Zhenger has a lot of eyes, and he has already helped to open more than a dozen more "Happy Hospitals". The footprints are getting closer and closer to the capital.

Now, Song Haohao's name is even louder than that of Princess Furui, and the ugly duckling has not only transformed into a "white swan".In the eyes of the people suffering from diseases, Song Haohao, who knows medicine and is kind, is no less than a living Bodhisattva who saves suffering.It is said that many people enshrine the Bodhisattva statues of Song Dynasty, and the "incense" is quite prosperous.

After the bustling Empress Dowager Ceremony, the two youngest sons ran away together without loyalty, leaving two idle jobs vacant, and leaving a letter saying that they were going to help the boss to understand the people's sentiments. For serious cases, they will help eliminate them.

Besides Ying Wu, Song Zheng'er, the "second son", was the one who accompanied Ah Yuan to dinner every day.

"Mother, don't always dislike the imperial palace. You should go out more often. In fact, there are many new places in it. Now the palace is very safe, and the closed palace is not afraid of you..." Song Zhenger strongly recommended his own palace The most worrying thing is that everyone will say goodbye to him. In such a huge palace, I am left alone, how boring!

Ah Yuan was really tired of being dumb, and these days, he and Ying Wudu wondered when they would leave. Being blocked by Zheng'er's words, they didn't have the nerve to say it.

This is a filial child!

"Okay, after taking a nap, mother will walk around to see if our Zheng'er's territory is beautiful...".

The two women don't like the original titles of "mother queen" and "emperor son", and they talk casually as before, which is more comfortable!

Ying Wu's beard has grown thicker in the past two years, and it's curled up, so he can't be a "long-bearded man" at all. At this moment, he is stretching the curly beard under his cheeks with his fingers, and then loosens it , enjoy yourself.

He still rarely spoke, except when alone with Yuan.

"Uncle Ying Wu, will you continue to go to the Armament Department later? Let's go together." Song Zheng'er put down the bowl and chopsticks, and said goodbye to A Yuan with a smile.

"I heard that the firecracker that you figured out this time is more powerful?"

"Well, the distance of five or six hundred steps is absolutely no problem."

The two men talked and left.

Ah Yuan smiled. Now, as long as he is in the capital, Ying Wu will report to the Armaments Department every day. He doesn't like many things, but weapons are his favorite.

The sun is just right outside, and the autumn air is refreshing, which makes people feel more relaxed. A Yuan, who woke up from a nap, is in high spirits. He simply wants to really explore the secrets of the palace. There is no taboo in his own garden, so just go as soon as you say it...

The little maid followed from a distance, because the princess didn't like to be accompanied by people all the time. The palace was quiet and quiet. The last time the concubines were dismissed, the eunuchs and maids also left a lot, and the main ones were reserved for sweeping, planting, and cleaning. People who wait for odd jobs.

The imperial dining room is the most popular. No matter what time of day it is, it is always booming. Song Zhenger is a clever little king. He often has dinner parties with civil and military officials. The buffet style he learned from A Yuan , Monarchs and ministers walked side by side together, found their favorite food and put it on their own plates, and then sat and chatted together in twos and threes.Or gather around a big table and talk about the mountains, which greatly shortens the relationship between the monarch and his ministers.

"Go and see what snacks I have made today, I'll go over there to see--" Ah Yuan turned her head and instructed the little maid who was falling behind.

"Yes, Empress Dowager." The little girl immediately ran happily to the imperial dining room.

On the right is the Tai Hospital, and the staff is scarce. Song Zhenger built a new "Happy Hospital" in the capital, which has not yet been completed.Already anxiously dispatching the old doctors out to do free consultations for the common people on the street, this kid wants to get good favors by doing this!

Ah Yuan's smile widened even more. Generally speaking, God is also very embarrassing.It is impossible for him to give you all the good things, and it is impossible for him to give you all the misfortunes.But why do I feel that the gods are so good to me that almost all the good things are stuffed into my palm?

Her footsteps were light, as if she had been called from the depths of her soul...

In front, is a hall that seems to have been dusty for a long time.Yuan has never seen it before.

A large lock lies in the middle of the carved red lacquered door.Bronze in nature, heavily patinaed...

In a daze, Ah Yuan actually climbed up the steps, stretched out her hand, and touched the copper lock lightly, "Wow--".Open, drop dust.

"Squeak - kunk -".The red-lacquered door also opened in response.

The afternoon sun slanted into the hall, so it was not dark.

The voice deep in my heart rang again...

A large piece of white silk seemed to have been weathered, and it was broken into a wide or narrow tassel, hanging from the roof to the ground.

Faintly, hazyly, behind the silk fringe, there is still something hidden, something that is familiar from the bottom of my heart, something that can hear the call.

Ah Yuan's footsteps have completely disobeyed her brain's commands. Maybe her brain has crashed?

A lot of light dust was picked up by her skirt and danced in the slanting sunlight. Along with her walking, those thin silk tassels were also fluttering...

But these are unimportant, unimportant, there is only a large piece of dazzling white in Ah Yuan's eyes, although the white is obviously mottled...

Square, flat head, long body, four round feet...

Ah Yuan's hands, gently stroked them, yes, they were cool, like the temperature of steel...

A lot of pictures came one after another, the old director of the orphanage, standing in the vegetable field, smiling and calling: "Yuan, come and weed—".

Working in the hot brick kiln to move bricks, the sweat dried layer by layer on the back of the clothes, soaking again and again...

In the firecracker workshop, I was careful and careful, but after my friend was injured by the explosion, he resolutely left and ran on the streets to make a living again...

The limping girl was wearing work clothes from a beauty salon, with delicate light makeup. If she didn't move around, she could be considered a pretty lady...

During the birthday celebration, I sat alone on the stone platform of the overpass and drank beer. A lot of cars passed by. The lame girl's eyes were hazy, but she didn't notice a white old-fashioned "Santana" car that suddenly appeared. ——", paused at the edge of the overpass...

At the same time, a half-empty beer can in Ah Yuan's hand fell on the stone bridge under his feet with a "dang--" sound...

The "Santana" car, and Yuan who was sitting by the bridge railing, disappeared strangely at that same moment...

Hot tears rolled out one by one, falling on the white paint surface of the familiar object.

That's right, this is the white Santana sedan that suddenly appeared on the overpass. When the soul of Ah Yuan from the previous life wore it, it "creaked—" and stopped at the edge of the overpass...

Ah Yuan's hands stroked Santana's body inch by inch, like a lover who had loved for a long time.

Four doors, driver's seat on the left.

The car door handle was not locked, and it was wrinkled. Ah Yuan pulled hard with both hands and pulled it for a long time before suddenly opening it.

The inside is clean, and the leather seat still exudes a sense of history.

Ah Yuan picked up a square pillow, raised her legs and got into the car.

Very good, just like the coach car in the driving school when I was just learning to drive in the previous life, the left foot is the clutch, and the right foot is the accelerator-brake.

The right hand, naturally, landed on the handbrake.

The tears in Ah Yuan's eyes came again.

Who left this mount, and it was kept in the inner courtyard of the Song Dynasty's palace?

Right.There is a luggage compartment in front of the passenger seat.

With a pinch of the thumb and index finger, a small mechanism popped open, and sure enough, there was something in the compartment.

A thin notepad, lying quietly inside, is very precious, and it will not disappear immediately.

Ah Yuan carefully took out the notepad, the paper was already very soft.The handwriting can be seen clearly, that is, all of them are in pinyin, which needs to be spelled out patiently.

"Don't know why I'm here, I'm just driving. Just passing an overpass.

When I came here, it was still the Tang Dynasty, the times were chaotic, the society was also chaotic, I was bored, and I was a soldier.I have no other hobbies, and the happiest thing is to march and fight.So I started my business. Maybe one day, when someone reads this text, the Great Song Dynasty I founded is still alive.

I am very proud, because I like the Great Song Dynasty.Because of me, it came more than 100 years early.I live here to the fullest, though, and I miss my loved ones from another world.

Now that I am old, I often stare at the fire alone in a daze. My favorite thing is to get into the car and miss all the stories that happened in another world.

Luckily, my car came with me.

I have tried many times to find a way to go back. Finally, I found that this car may be the key. I have tried many ways. Now, there is only one way left. I want to leave this letter and go back. do it.

Because, when I twisted the odometer on the car, the world suddenly became strangely quiet. A tunnel beyond sight seemed to be right in front of my eyes, and, as the numbers on the odometer jumped, that tunnel The tunnel is still changing direction.

I think it is very possible that I can travel through the space-time tunnel and go back to which era I turn the number of. I am old and want to go home. No matter whether I can achieve my goal or not, I will give it a try...

As I write this, I'm gone—or, I'm still—'.

Behind it are some names and phone numbers. Ah Yuan didn't have time to look at it carefully. The thin notepad was soft—it was broken...

Like a ghost, her next thought was to turn it, to adjust the odometer on the car, although she didn't know where to adjust it at all.At that moment, Ah Yuan wanted to go back crazily, just like the founding emperor of Song Dynasty.

However, which era does she want to go back to?Continue to live from the age of 30?Or from the 20s, the struggling years?Or do you go back to when you were younger, lame and lonely in the orphanage, envious of the adopted children?

Or, it was an obsession of Ah Yuan. In fact, she had been obsessed with the idea all her life. She wanted to find out the pair of biological parents and ask them why they abandoned her?Just because she is disabled?

But what good is that?Even if you really go back to the moment of birth and see your biological parents, what can you do?What to change?

Ah Yuan's frantically scratching hands slowly fell back to the dial of the odometer, and the smiling faces of Zhan Peng Zhantang surfaced on the dial, Ying Wu, Li Wei, Zhang Dashan, Xiao Wu, Ah Fu..., Ah Wen, Cailian, Bai Laoer, Lao San and Bai Chengguang...

These are her companions in this life, the source of all her happy life, can she be willing to leave?

Where my heart is, is my home.

The land I created with diligence and wisdom is my sweet garden.

Ah Yuan pushed open the car door, stepped out with one foot, two feet...

She instinctively made a familiar movement, and slammed the car door forcefully, "clang——" The car that was still strong enough to allow her to sit for a while just now was broken piece by piece, like A large piece of bread that had been dried by the years was completely crushed into powder, leaving only four rubber tires, which seemed to have been drained of life, and withered on the ground.

At the wide-open door, a swirling autumn wind blew, and the white silk covering it was also wiped out in pieces, broken like petals of ancient memories...

The little girl's hurried voice sounded outside the door: "The Queen Mother—the Queen Mother—the dim sum has just been steamed, and the stuffed red bean paste...the maidservant brought it...".

Ying Wu's voice was fluttering, as if it was close to his ears: "Yuan, today is your birthday, I made a gun with my own hands as a gift, do you like it?"
