Yuzhu sent someone to deliver the clothes, it was getting late, Linlang had only swallowed a few pasta in the past few hours, now that she was done with her work, she just felt hungry.Yuzhu said: "I don't have anyone here, and I don't have any snacks. I'll ask them to make you a pot to eat." Lin Lang hurriedly said: "I won't work on my aunt, anyway, my legs and feet are numb right now, thinking about it." Going out for a walk, I happened to go to the kitchen to see if there is any ready-made food." Because the imperial camp was hunting outside, the rules were a bit lax, so Yuzhu said, "Well, you can go and eat something hot."

Unexpectedly, when Linlang arrived in the kitchen, it was already late and there were only some pastries left in the kitchen.Lin Lang took some, went out of the tent and looked up, only to see the sunset glow for a long time, the blue and green that day, as translucent as crystal jelly, and the stars were revealing one by one, she coveted the sunset glow, and walked along the road to the river go.The twilight is everywhere, the river water is splashing, and the evening wind is full of the fragrance of green grass and leaves. After a while, the moon rises, low among the trees, the moonlight is pale, and it shines like a cage and a light veil.

After eating the pastry, she went down to the river to wash her hands. Just as she picked up the water, the handkerchief fastened to the buttons under her ribs came loose and she fell into the water. The handkerchief was so light that the river had already rushed out.Before she could think about it, she had already stepped into the river. Fortunately, the water was clear and shallow, so she hurriedly held the shoes in her hands and drank to pick them up.Although the river is shallow, the current is swift.Lin Lang chased for more than a hundred steps, the river turned a bend, a dead tree was lying across the river, the veil caught the branch of the dead tree in the water, and stopped drifting with the waves just now.She went to pick up the handkerchief, but she didn't pay attention to the braid slipping down, which caught the branch and hurriedly took it off.Only then did I feel cool and slippery under my feet, although it was cold, there was an indescribable novelty and interest.The water kept flowing through the feet, itchy and crispy, and I couldn't help but bent down and sat down on the dead wood, wrung the veil dry and hung it between the branches.I saw new reed leaves growing along the river bank, the moon was extremely low but extremely bright, shining on the new reed leaves rustling softly in the wind.Seeing that the braids were hanging hairy, she opened them and began to braid them again.The moonlight was excellent, like milk like snow, like gauze like smoke.She remembered when she was very young, Mammy sang the Yogyakarta song, holding her hair in her hands, humming softly:

"Yoyoza, Babuza, the wolf is coming, the tiger is coming, sloppy jumping over the wall. Yoyoza, Babuza, little elder brother, go to sleep, Ama is going to hunt horses... After only singing these two lines, she suddenly heard the soft sound of the reed leaf, which was clearly coming this way, scaring her to stand up with her braids in her hands, and blurted out, "Who is it?" jackal beast.My heart was beating wildly, and I glanced at it, only to see the reflection of a person on the river under the moonlight, only to hear the person ask: "Who are you? This is walking in the camp, who are you?" It was a young man's sound.Seeing him questioning like this, Lin Lang expected it to be a night watchman, so she breathed a sigh of relief, but she didn't dare to raise her head, and said, "I'm a court lady who follows me." She was afraid of being punished, and she couldn't hear the other party speak for a long time , finally dared to glance out of the corner of his eyes, only to see a crimson robe corner, but it was not the robe made by a guard.As soon as he looked up and saw the moonlight, the man stood among the reeds, like a strong reed facing the wind, his brows were upright and clear, but his eyes were extremely gentle, and he asked: "Aren't you cold standing in the water?"

She blushed and lowered her head.Seeing that she was stepping barefoot in the clear water, she became more and more embarrassed, and hurriedly wanted to come ashore, but the pebbles on the mudflat were extremely slippery, and she staggered eagerly, almost falling, but fortunately, the man with sharp eyes and quick hands supported her on her elbow, and she Fang stood firm.She was already in extreme embarrassment, the feet of a vulgar girl are extremely noble, and they should not be seen by others, and she was so impolite in front of a strange man, Lin Lang's ears were so red that she seemed to be on fire, so she could only say softly : "Excuse me, please turn your face away, so I can put on my shoes."

I saw him startled for a moment, and turned around.She put on her shoes, silently greeted his back as a thank you, and quietly walked back along the river bank.She walked lightly, the man stood there, did not hear her speak, so it was inconvenient to turn around.Hearing the rushing of the river and the sound of the wind blowing the branches and leaves of the trees around him, he stood there for a long time, and finally couldn't help but turn around, only to see the moonlight like water, the reed leaves swaying, and there were no people there. He hesitated slightly, and clapped his palms together with two soft "papa" sounds.After Lin Mu, two guards came out and bowed to salute him.He pointed at the silky white on the dead wood branch: "What is that?"

One of the guards quickly said: "Slave, go and see." But he retreated, and when he reached the bank of the river, he leaned slightly to take it off, and offered it to him with both hands: "Master, it's a square handkerchief." He took it in his hand, The white silk veil is slightly damp, carrying the rich green water vapor of the river, with a hint of fragrance sandwiched between it, and the light-colored silk thread embroidered with four-fold wishful cloud patterns, which is extremely elegant. Lin Lang returned to the tent, her heart still pounding.He just didn't know who the other party was, and he couldn't see his clothes in a panic.Thinking in his heart that he might be a prince or minister who was hunting with his retinue, he must have wandered into someone else's Xingyuan camp indiscriminately, feeling uneasy.The person sent by Yuzhao to deliver the clothes has already returned, and said: "Li Wenda was very happy to see him, and said that he would come to pay respects to Auntie in person some other day." Hands are enough." As soon as he looked down and saw Lin Lang's shoes, he said "Ouch" and said, "Why are you so wet?" Then Lin Lang remembered, and hurriedly changed the wet shoes: "I'll go to the river to wash my hands and get wet. It's over."

On the second day, Linlang was ironing clothes in the tent, when she suddenly heard the little eunuch asking outside, "Is Aunt Yu there? Li Wenda sees you coming." Yuzhu rushed out to welcome An, and said with a smile, "How important is this? I broke the jade chopsticks." Li Dequan just smiled and said, "Yugu, you're welcome." He looked around and asked, "Which girl did you mend the clothes yesterday?" Yuzhu hurriedly called Lin Lang to come and see her.Lin Lang was about to kneel down to pay her respects, but Li Dequan hurriedly helped her: "Miss, don't be too polite. Thanks to your dexterity, we were not punished. Today, Long Live Lord saw the clothes and asked who darned them. " After a few more words of praise, I just went.

He went back to the imperial camp, and the little eunuch outside the tent came up to him quietly: "Ada is back? Your lord and Lord Nalan are talking with the emperor inside." Li Dequan nodded and walked to the big tent.The big tent of the imperial camp is covered with sheep felt, and it is silent to step on it.I saw the emperor sitting in the middle with a relaxed look.Prince Yu smiled at Nalan Xingde and said, "Rong Ruo, the person who played the flute last night was indeed a woman. We lost the bet, what kind of prize do you want, just tell me." Nalan just smiled slightly: " Rongruo dare not." Kangxi laughed and said, "Listening to that flute that day, it was soft and soft, and you said that this person must be a woman, and I agreed. Only Fuquan refused to believe it, and the bastard still wants to bet with you. Now I am convinced of the loss." Fuquan said: "The emperor is wise." With a pleasant smile, he said to Rongruo: "I would like to gamble and admit defeat, and send the Buddha to the west. I think you seem to be very interested in this person that night, why don't I replace you I begged the emperor to give you this court lady. I can kill two birds with one stone, and it can be regarded as sharing the emperor's worries." The friendship between Kangxi and his elder brother has always been deep, and he smiled at this time: "It's all right if you show your face, why do you share my worries? Big hat?"

Fuquan said: "The emperor doesn't always say: 'Rong Ruo has a deep love, but it's a pity that the love will not last long, which makes people sigh." Although the woman is only a famous palace lady, she is worthy of Rong Ruo in both talent and appearance. To make a good story come true is of course to share your worries." Nalan said: "Since you are a member of the harem, I dare not presume." Kangxi said: "The ancients' 'Pengshan is not far away' and 'Poems written on red leaves' are all good stories. You are comparable to Song Zijing. Don't you even have the capacity of Zhao Zhen?"

Fuquan smiled and said: "The emperor's benevolence is honest and honest, which is naturally far better than that of Song Renzong. But I don't know the ins and outs of these allusions." He is skilled in bowing and horses, but his knowledge of Sinology is limited.Kangxi knew the background of this elder brother, so he said to Nalan: "Prince Yu is going to test you, let the prince listen to you." Nalan responded: "Kou Shu", and said: "Song Qi and his elder brother Song Xiang both have literary names, and people at that time called them Da Song and Xiao Song. One day, Zijing passed Fantai Street, and there was a palace As the car passed by, one of the palace people lifted the curtain to peek at Zijing and said: "This is Xiao Song." After Zijing returned home, he wrote "Partridge Sky", which said: " The painted hubs and carved saddles are on a narrow road, and there is a heartbroken embroidered curtain.The body has no colorful phoenix and double flying wings, but the heart has a tacit understanding.The house is made of gold, the cage is made of jade, the carts are like flowing water and the horses are like dragons.Liu Lang hated Pengshan far away, and it was tens of thousands of miles away from Pengshan. "After the word was made, it was sung in the capital and spread to the palace. After Renzong heard it, he knew the origin of the word and asked the palace people: "Who calls 'Xiao Song'?"The palace people presented themselves to Renzong.Renzong called Zijing to ask about this matter.Zijing then told the truth.Renzong said: "Pengshan is not far away." He is about to give this palace man to Zijing as his wife. " His voice was clear and clear, with ups and downs, and Fuquan listened with relish, and said: "This story is really a good story. The emperor played the reed at night, and it happened to lead to a good story." Kangxi said with a smile: "There is a flaw in our good story. It's the night when Rong Ruo is ordered to play, and it will be complete." While the monarchs and ministers were talking and laughing, the soldiers of Yu reported to the Chinese army that the road encirclement had been completed, so please order to move to see the city.Kangxi got up and changed his clothes when he heard the play, and Nalan led the guard's errand, and Kangxi ordered him to gallop to see the city first.Fuquan stood aside and saw Shangyi's eunuch put on the cloak for Kangxi. Kangxi turned around and saw Li Dequan holding his hat, and asked, "Did you find it?" Li Dequan replied: "Responding to the emperor's words, I found the person who darned the clothes. It turned out to be a maid in the laundry room. The emperor didn't give orders, and the slave didn't dare to disturb me. I only asked her surname Wei." Kangxi said: "I can't but I think she is dexterous, so it is useless to ask, and I will ask her to work as a needleworker later." Li Dequan made a "mouthful" sound.Kangxi turned his face and asked Fuquan: "The palace maid who plays the flute, I plan to fulfill Rongruo. You said you found out, where is your job?" Fuquan thought for a while, then said: "The palace maid is from the imperial dining room."
