Chapter 86 Chapter 29 Chinese New Year

Hegan Chengji, haven't I never caught sight of this young man?But tonight, every word he said pierced my heart like a steel needle. I am so sorry for him.Hegan Chengji in history was not imprisoned because of Dongfang Qingyao's false accusation, but I slightly changed the history. Will it directly lead to the disaster of Hegan Chengji? Dongfang Qingyao is experiencing a catastrophe, and its fate is unknown. Hegan Chengji is facing catastrophe, and his future is uncertain. All caused by me. My heart was bleeding again, as if any of them had an accident, it would make me miserable, and it was all my fault.

But I still have to go on, don't I? I was riding on horseback, smiling sadly, my long black hair fluttering in the north wind in the middle of the night, like a lunatic. I don't know what the consequences will be if I return to the Plum Garden with such a disheveled and pale complexion, and I can't think of worrying about these things.My teeth chattered, my body was already numb, and even the hand holding the rein was too stiff to stretch, and I lost consciousness. Fortunately, every family is having a reunion dinner at this time, and there are no pedestrians on the road. Fortunately, I have Dhondup and the others.

As soon as I got to the road leading to the plum garden, I saw Dundup and Baima waiting at the intersection. I hesitated so much that I couldn't rein in the horse, but Dhondup pulled me aside for me. "Miss, miss!" Baima half-supported and half-embraced me, helped me off the horse, looked at my face and my injured forehead in horror, and shouted: "What's wrong with you? Your forehead is injured? That, that one Has Mr. Gan bullied you?" I shook my head wearily, my body was so heavy that I could hardly stand up.Leaning gently on Baima's body, I murmured: "He didn't bully me, it was me, and I bullied him too much."

Seeing that I was a little confused, Baima hurriedly supported me, helped me take care of it, put on some makeup, and looked more energetic.The wound on the forehead had condensed, so Baima put a forehead wipe on the wound on the forehead, put down the buoyant sea, and covered the wound, so you can't see it unless you look carefully.It's just that the malaise and sadness between the brows can't be driven away, but there is nothing to do about it. Seeing that I didn't come home late at night, Rong Jincheng was feeling restless, and he didn't even have a good New Year's Eve dinner.It wasn't until I heard that I was back that I happily came to continue.

I smiled and said: "Father, I met the girl Lianhua whom my son met in the palace before, and I had a reunion at her house, so it was late." Seeing that I was fine, Rong Jincheng felt relieved and said, "Forget it, you've always had big ideas. It's just that it's New Year's Eve, so you should go home early no matter what." At this moment, Rong Hua'er had already come in, his eyes were panicked, and he asked slightly: "Third sister, Qingyao, what's wrong with him?" I forced a smile and said: "It's okay, I just lost some weight, if I come out, I have to rest for a while."

Rong Hua'er lowered her head, and said to herself, "Just lost some weight? Is he supposed to stay in that place? Don't you know how much he has suffered?" I sighed softly: "Don't worry, I already have an idea. In a month or two, there must be good news." Rong Hua'er's eyes overflowed with light: "Your sister is really sure?" grasp?For some reason, Hegan Chengji's hateful eyes always flashed in front of his eyes. The Tao is ruthless, but there are turbulent waves.I supported my head, held back the pain that seemed to explode, and said with a smile: "I am sure. I am sure that I will rescue Qingyao, no matter what the cost!"

"At any cost!" I murmured and repeated the last sentence, with a smile on the corner of my mouth, as cold as a cut.The price has already begun to be paid, hurting others as well as myself. But all the harm will not be endured in vain.At least I want to rescue Qingyao, at least I want to avenge myself. Rong Jincheng held me with one arm and Rong Hua'er with the other, smiled heartily, and said, "Forget it, today is New Year's Eve, and tomorrow will be the New Year's Eve. Everyone has to live happily to have a good year. Don't bring up the spoils, let's talk about everything after the Lantern Festival!"

Yes, it's Chinese New Year.After returning to the room, I managed to sleep through the middle of the night without sleep, and then I heard the noisy laughter and the clear sunlight coming in through the window. Although my body was tired and my head was heavy, I didn't dare to sleep in on such a day, so I hurriedly asked Baima to wash me up in a hurry. When I got up to look, the couplets had already been pasted on the door, bright red reflecting the bright sunlight , and the plum blossoms in the garden are very festive; in addition, there are peach charms engraved with two door gods, Shentu and Yulei, guarding both sides of the gate, but it looks a little bleak.

Taoyao on that side was already calling: "Miss San, come and eat dumplings!" In fact, not only dumplings, but also a variety of fruit snacks are extremely rich.There are eight dishes of glutinous rice balls of various colors, including glutinous rice noodles, sticky sorghum noodles, and yellow rice noodles. The fillings include sweet-scented osmanthus, white sugar, assorted, red bean paste, and jujube paste. Stack on a plate.There are also spring cakes, rice cakes, and eight-treasure rice porridge, which fill the table. I haven't eaten well since yesterday, I was already extremely hungry, and I didn't care about other things at the moment, I hurriedly greeted the second and third wives, and slowly ate the dumplings.

The dumplings in the Tang Dynasty are not different from the modern dumplings, and the taste is similar. It reminds me of my mother's craftsmanship, but unfortunately I can no longer eat the meals she made by herself. Looking at my pale and thin hands with slight blue veins, I ruthlessly tried to eat the dumplings with spring pancakes and glutinous rice balls, not thinking about anything. Outside the door, firecrackers were ringing, but they were far less lively than modern firecrackers.Pile up firewood, put the broken bamboo into the fire and burn it. As the air in the bamboo is heated and expands, it will make a "cracking" sound, which is considered to be firecrackers.This is the origin of firecrackers, which have been used since the Han Dynasty to ward off evil spirits and pray for good luck and happiness in the coming year.

But the distance between me and auspicious happiness has been as far as thousands of years? After eating, according to the custom, we should go to the elders of our family to greet them, but this is not our hometown in Luoyang, and the Rong family has no close relatives and elders who need to greet them in Beijing; visiting relatives and friends is only after the second day of the Lunar New Year. So on the first day of the new year, the Rong family was as quiet as usual, only the servants received the scattered money and new clothes, all of them were smiling, adding to the festive atmosphere.The second lady had breakfast, but after talking for a while and admiring the flowers for a while, she left. Since she went to the Buddhist hall to practice, she was still three points quieter than when I was living in seclusion; The maid left early without even looking at me; Rong Hua'er didn't leave, she looked at me eagerly, wanting to find an opportunity to ask about Dongfang Qingyao's situation in detail, but it was hindered by being in front of everyone, and it was the great joy of the new year Days, it's not easy to speak. I also don't want to mention it, so I keep procrastinating if I can.That dark cell, the inhuman man, the heart-wrenching feelings, just a dull pain in my heart, that's enough, why bother to make her sad? And how can some feelings and feelings be explained clearly! I managed to get together with Rong Jincheng and others to chat and laugh for a long time, but I couldn't hold it anymore, I just felt top-heavy and my steps were vain, it seemed that I had caught a cold.Rong Jincheng saw that my complexion was not right, and regardless of the taboo on the first day of the new year, he immediately sent someone to invite a doctor.When the doctor came, he also said that he had caught a cold and had some fever, so he could only take some medicine to rest quietly, which just gave me an excuse not to go to the relatives and friends in Chang'an, and to think about future plans in the garden alone. Before Yuan Xiao, these big and serious cases were generally not tried, and I was happy to recuperate first, and secretly asked people to pay attention to all aspects of the movement. From Qi Wang Li You's place, it was only heard that Chang Shi Quan Wanji filed a complaint in front of the imperial court years ago, but Li Shimin ordered him to contemplate behind closed doors in the mansion, even Yuan Xiao was spared from coming to the capital to pay his respects. Li Ke, the King of Wu, just stood still. When he stayed in Beijing around the New Year, he paid his respects to his father, queen, mother and concubine every day, which was appreciated by Li Shimin. Li Tai, the king of Wei, was concentrating on writing books. It is said that the "Kuo Dizhi" compiled by himself has entered the final proofreading stage. In order not to make mistakes, Li Tai moved to the literature museum after eating and sleeping.Although Li Shimin didn't say anything, he rewarded rare treasures twice at the end of the year. It can be seen that this trick of keeping a low profile is still effective. Relatively speaking, the prince is careless.Because of the Qingyao incident in the east, the king of Wei was hit. Most of them felt that their foundation was much more stable. They often got together with the king of Han, Hou Junji, Zhao Jie and others. They said they were discussing state affairs, but they were drinking and having fun behind the scenes. . Hegan Chengji, as the prince's most trusted confidant, naturally often mixed up with them.But in recent days, this swordsman has often lingered outside, sleeping in the Qinlou Chu Pavilion every night, amidst the singing and dancing. When I heard the news, I felt an overturned five-flavor bottle in my heart, and I couldn't bear the unbearable sourness. In the past two years, although he often wandered around brothels, as Taoyao said, he had never even touched Taoyao, just listening to songs for fun.In the middle of the night, he sometimes went back to sleep in his extremely humble hut.Is he going to feel the tenderness of those two hearts more than two years ago, the two hearts that once lived under one roof? Now, one of them even has the thought of taking his life, which must have made him completely desperate!Thinking of his almost crazy behavior that day, I slowly smiled bitterly, the dull pain and sadness in my heart made me very confused. After seeing the Lantern Festival, my body gradually calmed down.This day, when he was fascinated by the fragrant plums in the garden, thinking that Dongfang Qingyao should also do something, someone suddenly reported that a lady from the Wang family in Xining had come to visit Miss Rong San. I was taken aback, King Xining?Do I know this person? When I saw the slender girl in red smiling at me with a gentle and shy smile, I also smiled. It turned out to be Lianhua, Li Lianhua.His father was originally the king of Xining. He died young and had no heirs. He only had a daughter, Lianhua. The emperor thought of his old friendship and let his younger brother take over the throne. Lianhua grew up under the care of her uncle, but he grew up Not being favored is always the pain of losing parents since childhood. Because she never mentioned the affairs of her own mansion, I actually forgot that this boudoir friend with whom I had been together for many days was originally the lady of Xining Palace.
