Hibiscus Flower West Moon Splendid

Chapter 244 Yifang Folds the Lotus (1)
On the first day of July, Zhang Zhiyan sent troops to surprise the military town of Ezhou (now Wuhan). The defender Xu Zheng had just retreated to Hezhou, an important border town between Dali and Dayuan. Dali had secretly sent a hundred war elephants to the border guards of the Yuan Dynasty.Legend has it that Taizu was not surprised at all when he received the news of these war elephants. Instead, he smiled and immediately ordered Xu Zheng, the second-rank Ruiwu General of the Shangzhu Kingdom, to take over these war elephants and counterattack Zhang Zhi. Yan, took back Ezhou in one day and one night, and the world was in an uproar.

Taizu also secretly believed in the original order, and ordered Xu Zheng to send the 85 war elephants that survived in Ezhou back to Dali as soon as possible, and not keep any of them.Xu Zheng's lieutenant secretly kept an elephant in order to flatter Xu Zheng's young son. As a result, three days later, this war elephant was dissatisfied with being a toy for children, and kicked Xu Zheng's young son with three ribs broken. It is said that Shan Ye ran back to Dali secretly.For this matter, Xu Zheng was demoted three grades in a row, and his salary was fined for one year. Within three days, he changed from a suspicious deserter to Yuanmou Xunxiao, and then inexplicably became the object of impeachment by the court, and then became the laughing stock of the court officials. All of them can be used as a topic of conversation after dinner.

However, after the joke, the reason behind this incident was revealed by Xu Zheng, coupled with Zhang Zhiyan's hype behind, deliberately mentioned the nepotism of Mrs. Helping her husband or something would seriously hurt Yuan Jun's myth of might.Because Xu Zheng belonged to the Fengde Army, he was stationed in Chuzhou instead to contain Zhang Zhiyan. The original Fengding on the Xuzhou front was forced to return to Chang'an to report on his duties.

It’s another year’s Qixi Festival, when Fengding returns to the court to report on his duties, it’s also lively, Yao Ji and Zhuzhu’s faces are full of joy, but because the battle in Youzhou has reached a critical point, everyone in the court has no intention of Qixi Festival.Qixi Festival is also a festival of longing, and everyone in the palace knows that the emperor must miss Empress Xiaoxian and Chunyi on this day.Sure enough, on the day of Qixi Festival, Sheng Rong was indifferent, and simply invited members of the royal family, and held a family banquet hastily. The pair of phoenix eyes during the banquet were also depressed, and they had no intention of feasting, let alone such colorful festivals as folks.The crowd didn't dare to talk too much. After the emperor bestowed the object, the moon disappeared as soon as it reached the sky.

When I went back to Xifengyuan, Weiwei and the new recruit from the Ministry of Internal Affairs helped me change my clothes. Wei Xiaoyu held the princess dress I had changed, looked at the stars in the sky, and said with a pout: "In the past After the Qixi Festival, it was Mr. who took us on a night tour of the Qinhuai River. It was so beautiful, but I didn’t want to go to bed early this Qixi Festival.”

Weiwei, whose appearance has almost recovered, also came over to make fun of her: "Oh, yes, last year I accompanied Prince Zhen and Princess Concubine to the wedding banquet of the previous dynasty. That scene..."

You may recall that last year, when King Xuan was prominent, the little girl sighed like an adult, holding a red gold spider holding a ganoderma hairpin on her chest in her right hand, looking at the bright starry sky outside the window, her eyes flickered, " The twilight scene of mulberry and elm is gone."

Well, it looks like the little girl has fully recovered from the physical and psychological trauma she suffered during the June Snow Incident.

Yanhua couldn't help but laugh, and the flower tinsel on the corner jumped happily a few times, but when she saw me looking at her in the mirror, she immediately put away her smile, and professionally and quickly tidied up my jewelry up.

It suddenly occurred to me that the boat ordered by Jun was delivered the day before yesterday. It was mainly used for business entertainment, to communicate with business, and to discuss some "hidden topics" with important people in the middle of the water.Qi Fang also came here this morning, saying that he personally brought people to test the water, and the quality is quite good.It just so happens that there is no curfew on Qixi Festival tonight, so why don't you take the guys from Xifengyuan for a stroll, and you can also do some "business".

I quietly got ready.Xiaoyu was naturally elated, and Weiwei also smiled happily, but Yuhua is a newcomer, and has never seen my lavish and corrupt life. Seeing everyone happy, she just stood there and smiled politely and ignorantly.

I tied up my bun, put on a white jade hairpin from Dongling, and wore a men's jade-colored and silver luan-patterned dress with a rose gauze robe over it, dressed like a gay.Yan Hua looked at me, and just like that, his jaw dropped slightly.

It's the beginning of the rain on the Qixi Festival, and pedestrians are remembering home.

Jiang Tian looks at the Milky Way, and the water pavilion folds lotus flowers. [1]
At the time when the new dynasty amnesty the world, the general public was confined at home a while ago, and they flocked out for a reason of entertainment. However, at night, on Zhuque Street, there were fireworks everywhere, silk and bamboo orchestras, and lights and festoons. There was a lot of voices.We are surrounded by heavy traffic, crowded with crowds, bustling and bustling. The sedan chair of our group disguised as a rich family was difficult to move in the vast crowd at first. Finally, there was a spark in front of us, and we were pushed forward by the carnival crowd. In the end, we were almost crushed We were relieved when people pushed to the pier.

Fortunately, all the staff had been waiting for a long time, and everyone was holding huge candles, which were as bright as day.A resplendent and resplendent five-story boat was moored on the water's shore brightly lit, with red and green all over its body, beaming with joy.I took the guys to worship God, and took a custom-made extra-large long-necked wine bottle and smashed it on the bow. At last, I didn’t sink the boat like Shrek. Anyway, everyone applauded wildly, haha, it’s okay It's the maiden voyage.A large group of people boarded the boat, followed by Jun's family carrying a dozen half-waist-high camphor wood boxes containing daily necessities.

At that time, Yanhua was only a 12-year-old yellow-haired girl. She had never seen such a battle before, her big eyes stared straight for a long time, and it took her a while to pick up her chin. Later, this scene was controlled by Weiwei and Xiaoyu for half her life.

I turned around and asked Qi Fang quietly: "Have those big boxes been put away?"

Qi Fang smiled and said: "It's all been put on the third floor, everyone has been properly arranged, and there is a hard-working guy guarding the door."

It’s been a long time since I heard Qi Fang say a secret word, and it’s also been a long time since I saw him smile like this. Sure enough, the news of Bu Xiangning’s recovery made him feel much better, so I smiled and patted him on the shoulder, “The General’s Mansion Did you download the post yesterday?"

Qi Fang smiled again: "Master, don't worry, everything is ready, the man reported it, the wife is already on the way, and she will be there soon."

I felt relieved, stood at the bow of the boat, put away my jade bone fan that symbolizes romance, waved it to the starry sky, and shouted: "Anchor!"

The sailor yelled loudly, and the guys on the shore hurriedly set off firecrackers and fireworks.I only heard the crackling sound in my ears, the festive fireworks flew up, and congratulated me on launching into the water. The big boat slowly left the shore and galloped towards the center of the Weishui River amidst loud noises.

In the middle of the water, an ancient pipa song "Weishui Ancient Tune" suddenly floated from the top floor of the big boat, which was even more clear and lofty in the starry night sky.

I climbed to the third floor, thinking as I walked, this Xiaofang's ability is getting better and better, where can I find such a good musician to help out, I will have to reward him heavily later.

Walking to the third floor, there were already two pale warriors standing at the door very vigilantly.I announced my identity loudly inside, and the two guys opened the door for me.I stood outside, separated by the bead curtain, and saw three figures standing in front of the window in a daze, looking at the bright lights on the other side of the Wei River, as bright as day, and I didn't even look back when I came in.Only Yao Ji sighed softly: "When I was young, I remembered that there were fireworks in the Zhuangzi one year, so I ran out to see it secretly. It was so beautiful."

Standing beside Yao Ji was a tall figure, that person's phoenix-eyed, full of affection, but he came out of the same face as the face of today's holy majesty.He put his arms around Yao Ji and smiled lightly: "At that time, you really looked stupid, even I stood by and stared at you for a long time, but I didn't notice it."

Yao Ji's eyes were bright, she turned her head and smiled tenderly: "That's the first time I've seen Qingshan."

The phoenix eyes of the original Qingshan were also obsessed, "Yeah, I remember that Qixi Festival, you were only seven years old, you wore a half-worn pomegranate skirt, and your black hair didn't wear any accessories, but I was dumbfounded." Eyes. I never thought that there would be such a beautiful little girl in this world."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and Yao Ji leaned gently on Yuan Qingshan, staring at the world of lights on both sides of the Wei River, "It's been many years, I haven't seen such a beautiful scenery."

I was startled, I really didn't expect Yuan Qingshan to come over.Behind the two stood a tall woman who looked to be in her twenties, her complexion was extremely pale, and she was also looking at the beautiful scenery on the other side in amazement.

The woman was so vigilant, she turned her head and stared at the scenery on the shore, I didn't have time to speak, I just felt a blur in front of my eyes, the glazed curtain was shaking rapidly, it was so sweet, she had already stood in front of me with her hands down, holding me and Yaoji together. The couple, Aoyama and his wife were separated, and their brown pupils stared at me coldly, like Sadako, went straight to my heart.I took a big step back in a useless fright.

Yao Ji smiled and called out: "Que'er, why are you so rude in someone else's land, let the princess come in quickly."

Yes, you are in my field, and you still love to scare people so much!
That Que'er withdrew her murderous aura, silently stepped sideways to give way, and gave me a blessing.

I coughed, stroked my heart and said, "Miss Que'er, excuse me."

Recently, I have been feeling uncomfortable in my chest, probably because you people from the Dark Palace have been so frightened.

I went into the room, gave a big gift to Yuan Qingshan and Sima Yaoji, and politely asked them to tell me not to ask when they were outside in the future, it would be easy to deceive people.

Yuan Qingshan just nodded politely to me, then sat down and listened to the pipa music with his eyes closed.To be honest, I don't know what to say to him, mainly because I always want to say: You look so much like the Holy One!
Fortunately, Yao Ji said some polite words to me.Naturally, I didn't dare to stay longer, so that they could continue the sweet memories of the world between the two of them. Just as I was about to leave, Yuan Qingshan, who had been listening attentively, suddenly said, "This musician has extraordinary skills. This "Weishui Ancient Tune" is originally about The story of a pair of children from different backgrounds who died in love with each other but ended up getting married is a rare story that can be played so gracefully and touchingly. There are still such superb musicians among the people."

We couldn't help but listened carefully.At the end of the song, he sighed again: "It's just that when you are rescued and get married, the beauty is beautiful, but it is not natural, and there is still a sense of sadness and choking, which is like the meaning of Changxiao's return to wind and snow. .Maybe this former master of flute played the middle way and switched to pipa.”

After what he said, I thought of a person, and at the same time, I was deeply impressed by the artistic attainments of the members of the Yuan family, and said in admiration: "My uncle is really good at hearing, this is a friend of Mo Wen, named Minqing Her pipa was originally a masterpiece in the Yangzhou Jiaofang during the Yuanwu period. I did hear her say that she loved the long flute when she was young, but she was forced to learn it by her teacher because the geisha was popular in the pipa."

At this time, the man reported that Hejin Ferry was coming soon, so I said goodbye and said I was going to pick up someone. Yao Ji immediately interrupted my conversation with Yuan Qingshan and urged me to go quickly excitedly.Yuan Qingshan smiled with a good temper, everyone didn't care about Minqing's pipa music.

I wondered in my heart, when did Minqing and Qi Fang come here, maybe they came here by cheating, and Qi Fang would not tell me anything.Among all the former concubines, Minqing is the "second wife" next to Duan Chaozhu. She has spent the longest time with me, and her relationship is relatively deeper.Even Duan Yuerong said that because of me, Minqing is very respectful and loyal to his wife. I heard that Minqing has been thinking about me and wants to come to my side to accompany him. Does Qi Fang want to give me a surprise?I don't know if other concubines are also here.

As soon as he got down to the second deck, he vaguely heard the laughter of a child, and followed him away, only to see three tall and pale men chasing a child running around.The leader, a big man with a long face, was shouting at the child nervously.

The child was wearing a small Kunlun slave mask, and he was very agile, jumping up and down on the deck and railings, a group of people couldn't catch him for a while.When he saw me at the corner, he yelled and rushed towards me.I was stunned for a while, and then realized that it should be Xiao Yu, so I picked him up, kissed him through the mask, and asked with a smile, "Does Xiao Yu like the night view of Qixi Festival?"

Xiao Yu nodded vigorously, hugged my slender neck tightly, and pointed at the beautiful scenery of fireworks on the other side with her little finger, screaming excitedly.I followed the direction he pointed and kept walking back and forth to show him, while the big man with a long face let others stand at the bow of the boat to watch, and he followed us every step of the way.

An extra-large firework roared into the sky, and for a while, fire trees and silver flowers covered the sky brilliantly, which was magnificent and approached the starry sky.A group of people on the other side laughed and exclaimed, which also illuminated the eyes of the long-faced man in the lead.I squinted my eyes at the big man for a while, and when I put down Xiaoyu, I knocked my ivory and jade bone fan into my palm, and said with a grin: "My lord, you are safe here!"

The big man jumped up, shrank his strong body back, stared at me for a minute, Fang Zi puffed out his chest and said in a low voice, "How did you recognize me, woman?"

I bowed my head gracefully and said modestly: "The mountain people have their own eyes!"

The man sullenly said: "How is it possible, no one has ever recognized my disguise."

"Look at my eyes!" I pointed my finger at my eyes and said exaggeratedly, "Sun Wukong borrowed me his golden eyes in a dream the other day. From then on, no matter how wonderfully the palace master disguises himself, the mountain people will definitely see it."

"Tch, Sun Houzi is a god who treats money and beautiful women like dung. How could he give you such a mercenary woman?"

"Hey, it turns out that the palace lord has also read "Journey to the West" published by Jingzhong Baoguo Bookstore!"

He choked there, his ears blushed suspiciously, and he replied angrily, "It's the comic book you brought to Xiao Yu last time, I just took a look at it. The stinky boy has read the magic barrier, and now he is serious every day." You don’t practice kung fu, you only practice monkey boxing, and I heard that it’s a story you made up yourself, and you are too good at telling it.”

After hearing this, Xiao Yu played a set of monkey boxing to cheer me up. It was very powerful, and I was very happy to see it.

I laughed, "Recently Sun Wukong wanted to change a magic spell, and I promised to change it for him, so he lent me my eyes."

"You're talking nonsense again."

I was talking nonsense with Sima Yun, who had changed his face.Maybe it was rare for him to come out today, and in the middle of the Weishui River, the scenery is beautiful and the music is pleasant. It is hard for him not to be angry, but he smiled at me with a smile that was not natural because of the disguise.

I crossed my legs on the chair under the eaves, raised my eyebrows and said cheerfully: "How about this, the master of the palace will tell the mountain man the secret recipe for making pickled melon in the dark palace, and the mountain man will tell you how I recognized the palace master .”

Last week, Yao Ji asked me to give Pearl a small jar. Pearl invited me to try it out. When I opened the jar, I found that it was just pickled pickled melon. All the pickles are reserved for my daughter.

However, when the first bite of pickled melon was put on the tip of my tongue, I couldn't help but shed tears. This pickled melon is so delicious!
So I came up with the idea of ​​developing dark palace pickled cucumbers.

Unexpectedly, Sima Yun looked at me with strange eyes, made a nauseous expression, and said with a smile: "Why do you like that thing? I ate it when I was a child, and then I hated it the most , Just thinking about it now makes me want to vomit."

"A waste of heaven and earth! Palace Master, believe it or not, the pickled melon in your dark palace will become the best appetizer in the world. With this pickled melon, even if there is no Baicao Garden, you can become rich in the world. If you tell My formula, even if you invest in technology, how about 20%? Don’t understand? It’s [-]%! You just need to tell me the formula, and you don’t have to do anything else. In the future, I’ll make [-]% of your profits. Do you think it’s low? Well, it’s low. Let’s be honest, don’t count me as an honest person, let’s say Sanqi. My name has been drawn up, and I’ll call it Sanhe Simei, Liubiju or Siqin, so that I can respond to the imperial court, publicize the meaning of loyalty and filial piety, and be closer to the common people. No way. , It's better to read Yi, "Nianyi Sauce Garden" sounds good... Tonight, Qixi Festival, we signed the contract should be more emotional and meaningful... We can't make tributes to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so the profit will be much less, how about this... "
