The gardener happily accepted the bag full of gold coins, knelt down and kissed the prime minister's feet, and prayed devoutly for his father and son.Finally, he reluctantly bid farewell to the prime minister and the prince, saying: "I look forward to seeing you two tomorrow, and I hope that Allah will allow me to see you every day and never be separated." The prime minister and the crown prince were on their way back, and the crown prince asked, "Why are you doing this?" "You will soon see the benefits of doing so." The next day, the prime minister found construction foremen and craftsmen from the market, and took them to the garden to discuss repairs and painting.The gardener was very happy to see the prime minister and his party. He started construction with the building materials the prime minister gave him.The craftsmen repaired, brushed, and painted, working together.

The prime minister was very concerned about the painter's work progress and said: "Masters, please listen to me and do as I will. I have a beautiful garden just like this one. One night, I dreamed that a hunter was setting a net to catch birds. He hid aside, surrounded by the net. It was sprinkled with grains to lure birds. After a while, a group of birds flew to peck, and one of the male birds was caught in the net. The other birds, together with its female companion, were scared and fled. Unexpectedly, after a while, it The female companion flew back and rescued the male by pecking through the mesh on the claws of the male. At that time the hunter was asleep and did not know about it. When he woke up, he saw only the mesh that had been pecked through. He repaired the net, picked another place to set up a net to catch birds, and secretly hid aside to wait for the good news. At this time, another group of birds came to peck, including the male and its female rescued last time. This time, it was the female bird that was caught in the net. Its bad luck scared away its male partner and other birds, leaving only the female bird struggling alone in the net, but the male bird never came to rescue it. As a result, it was caught The hunter caught and slaughtered it.

At the same time, its male companion did not escape bad luck, and was caught and eaten by a fierce bird.What I want you to do is to use colorful paint to paint what I saw in my dream on the wall, making it a beautiful picture, making it the same as the exotic flowers and plants in the garden, pavilions, pavilions and streams. They complement each other, and, be sure to show hunters, snares, and predators slaying males.If you can really do what I say, and draw a picture that pleases me, I will definitely pay you more money. " According to the intention and instructions of the prime minister, the painter carefully painted the picture carefully, and he painted a moving picture in a short time.

When the pavilion was repaired and painted, the prime minister came to check and accept it in person.Seeing that the craftsmen really reproduced his dream on the screen, he was very satisfied, so he rewarded them heavily as he said before. Arthur goes for a walk in the garden every day as usual. One day, he saw pictures of hunters catching birds and male birds in distress painted on the wall of the pavilion. He ran to find the prime minister in surprise and asked, "O wise prime minister, a strange thing happened to me today. If this story can be passed down from generation to generation, it will definitely be a warning to future generations."

"Your Highness, what strange things have happened to you?" "Do you remember the dream I told you about Princess Haya Tufus and why she hated men?" "yes, I remember." "My lord, I swear to Allah, I saw someone paint the princess's dream. Looking at the picture, I really have the feeling of being there. Some pictures that were not in the princess' dream were added. Some With such an added, unknown story, my wish can come true." "Child, what secrets have you seen?" "I saw that when the female bird was caught in the net, her male partner fled and was caught and eaten by a fierce bird on the way. I wish the princess could see all this in that dream, so that she could know the male partner. A bird does not go to the rescue of a female bird simply because it has been hunted and killed by a vicious bird."

"Swear to Allah, you're lucky, it's really strange." The prince admired that painting and never forgot it.When he thought that the princess hadn't seen the truth, he felt very sorry.He thought: "It would be great if the princess could finish the dream that day, or if she could re-do the dream and understand the truth of the matter." "Your Highness," said the Prime Minister, "when you asked me why I wanted to restore and refresh that dangerous building, I said: 'You will know soon.' Now the value of this is self-evident. All of this is mine. The arrangement is that I asked the craftsman to describe the dream, and then add a picture of a fierce bird slaying a male bird. In this way, Princess Haya Tufus can wake up after seeing the mural with her own eyes in the garden, and no longer hate men gone."

After hearing the prime minister's statement, the prince admired him very much, kissed the prime minister's hand gratefully, and said: "Prime Minister, a person like you can really serve as the right arm of the king of the largest country. By Allah, if you succeed this time Now, I will definitely meet my father when I go back, tell him the ins and outs of the matter, let him add an official to you, and obey you." The prime minister was a little flattered by the crown prince's compliment. He kissed the prince's hand, took him to the gardener, and said to the old man: "Old man, look at that pavilion, how decent it is!"

"Thanks to you two." "Old man, if the master sees that the pavilion has been decorated, he will naturally ask you what's the matter. You can say that you paid for it yourself, so that you can get gifts and rewards." "Okay, just follow orders." The gardener readily accepted the suggestion. After that, over time, the gardener, the prime minister, and the prince became more and more acquainted, especially the prince and the gardener had frequent contacts. In a fit of rage, Haya Tufus drove away the nurse, and there was no more harassment from the businessman's letter, and her mood suddenly became clear and cheerful.Thinking that the businessman has left here to return to his hometown, the princess is even more carefree and happy.One day, the king gave her a plate of food. The princess opened the lid and saw that it was full of fresh and ripe fruits. She couldn't help asking:

"Is it the season for ripe fruit?" "Yes, Your Highness! Now is the season when the fruits are ripe." "Then it's time for us to go into the garden and have fun." "Your Highness, your idea is great. We swear to Allah, we have long been looking forward to going to the garden with you." The maids all echoed the princess. "But what should I do?" The princess said with a distressed face: "Every time I went to the garden, there was always a nurse who accompanied us and led us to watch the trees and flowers, but I beat her and drove her away. I am really sorry for her, but I regret it again. No matter how you say it, she is also the nurse who raised me! Only Allah can make up for my sins."

Seeing the princess's emotion, all the maids knelt down and begged: "Your Highness, please be magnanimous, forgive the wet nurse, and allow her to enter the palace to continue serving you." "By Allah, I've wanted to do this for a long time, and I've specially prepared a set of luxurious clothes, but who will take her into the palace?" The maids were overjoyed when they heard the news.One of them named Bulu and a maid named Sevadu volunteered and said, "Your Highness, please let us do it for you." Seeing that the two were older and better looking, and they were her personal maids, the princess nodded her head:

"Okay, you go and fetch the nurse back." Both Bruce and Seva left the palace and went straight to the old lady's house. The old lady opened the door and saw the two of them, hugged them affectionately in her arms, and received them warmly. After both Bruce and Seva sat down, they said to the old lady: "Nurse, the princess has long since stopped hating you. She misses you very much now and wants us to take you back to the palace." "I don't want to go back to the palace even if I die. I think the princess didn't care about the relationship between master and servant at all. She insulted me and beat me in front of everyone. She almost killed me. She dragged me out of the palace like a dead dog and threw me away." Outside. She was so vicious and cruel to me, have you all forgotten? I swear to Allah, I will never return to the palace, let alone see her.” The old lady resolutely rejected them. "Nurse, you won't let our peace be in vain. You won't let us respect you in vain. Look who came to pick you up here? Are you more prominent than us? Is someone here to invite you?" "By Allah, I know that both of them are more honorable than me. It's just that my position in the princess's heart is nothing more than a fake. She deliberately promoted me and treated me favorably, and even lost my temper with the highest-ranking servant among the servants. That person also seems to be frightened to death, but in fact? Sigh!" "No! The princess's attention to you has only increased. She lowered her status to accommodate you, and she just wants to really reconcile with you as before!" "I swear to Allah, if it weren't for the two of you coming to the humble house, I would not go back even if I was hacked into pieces." The old lady got up and changed, and followed Bru and Seva back to the palace. To the boudoir of Haya Tufus. The princess stepped forward to meet her, and the wet nurse shouted, "My lord! My lord! Please tell me, is it my fault, or your highness's fault?" "Nurse, I was wrong, and I ask for your forgiveness. I swear to Allah, I have always respected you, because you have raised me, but you know, the great and noble Lord has done it for you I am destined to develop my temperament, life, clothing, food and lifespan, and we cannot allow us to change it, so I am subject to the eccentricity of my character without exception, and I am wrong because of it, and there is no way to save it. Nurse, I am to myself What you have done is indeed regrettable to the extreme." The old lady saw that the princess confessed to herself so sincerely, and her dissatisfaction with the princess disappeared instantly.She knelt down and kissed the ground, expressing understanding and tolerance. The princess asked someone to bring the luxurious clothes that had been prepared and gave them to the old lady.In front of everyone, the old lady felt very honored by the princess's reward.Only the princess asked: "Nurse, is it the season for the fruits to ripen now? The flowers and fruits in the Imperial Garden don't know what happened." "Your Highness, I saw that the melons and fruits are ripe in the city. Is it the fruit in the garden? Let me go and have a look first, and I will report to you later." The old lady returned to the side of Princess Haya Tufus, and the master and servant felt very harmonious and happy.So the old lady happily left the princess' boudoir, and went straight to Arthur's shop. Arthur had been looking forward to meeting the old lady for a long time, and when he saw her coming, he stood up happily to greet her.He threw his arms around the old lady with an indescribable joy.The old lady hastily told the prince in detail about her reconciliation with Princess Haya Tufus, and also notified him of the princess' plan to visit the garden. She asked: "Have you followed my instructions to establish a good relationship with the gardener? Do you often give him small favors?" "Don't worry, I have met the gardener and made friends with him. If I am in trouble, he will definitely help me." After the prince finished speaking, he revealed to the old lady how the prime minister took the opportunity of repairing the building to paint the princess's dream on the wall, and added a picture of a fierce bird hunting a male bird. After hearing this, the old lady said happily: "May the Lord bless you, my son. Your father is really smart. You should obey him. Only in this way can your wish come true. Now it is a matter of success or failure. Clean it up quickly. Then put on the most expensive clothes, go to see the gardener, and think of a way to stay in the garden overnight. You know, when the princess comes to the imperial garden, mountains of gold and silver cannot impress the gardener, so you must Find a place to hide in the garden until I say, "Graceful master, we don't worry about the past anymore", then come out and appear in front of the princess indistinctly, let her appreciate you The dignified and dignified appearance makes her fall in love with you, so things will be much easier to handle. I believe you will be able to realize your wishes and stay away from those worries and depressions." "Okay, I will definitely follow the instructions." The prince accepted the old lady's idea, and gave her a bag of 1,000 gold coins as a token of gratitude. He sent the old lady away, and immediately went to the bathhouse to take a bath with incense, and then changed into the Persian royal robe, with a precious belt inlaid with pearls and jade around his waist, and a gem turban embroidered with gold and jade inlaid on his head, reflecting the rose color. The cheeks, the antelope-like eyebrows, and the vermilion lips are really beautiful.He was fully dressed, so he took a thousand gold coins with him, and stumbled towards the imperial garden in a drunken haze. Prince Artus knocked at the gate of the garden, and the gardener saw him coming, and welcomed him in with great joy.The gardener noticed the distressed look of the prince and asked him why.The prince replied: "Oh, old man, do you know that my father has always loved me, but today he hit me for the first time. Because we didn't agree with each other, there was an argument, which made him furious. Not only did I get slapped, I was beaten and kicked out. Now I have no family to return to, and no relatives or friends are willing to take me in. Old man, for the sake of your good relationship with my father, please take me in. Let me stay in the garden I can avoid the limelight or stay overnight, and when my father's anger subsides tomorrow, I will go home and make peace with him." After hearing the prince's words, the gardener expressed deep sympathy for him, and said, "Generous young master, please let me intercede for you in front of your father, mediate and mediate, and let you reconcile as before." "Old man, you have to know that my father has a bad temper and gets angry easily. Now he is angry. Even if you intercede, he will not be useful. But after a few days, when he calms down, he will naturally be as gentle as usual. Merciful." "In that case, I won't see him. But young master, you can come to my house and live with my children. No one will say anything about it." "Old man, I'm in a bad mood, I just want to be alone." "I can let you go to my house, but since you don't want to, and you want to spend the night alone in the garden, I can't handle it." The gardener refused to agree to the prince's request. "Old man, there is a reason why I insist on doing this, because I want to relieve the distress in my chest, and I feel that staying alone for one night can effectively win my father's favor and sympathy." "If you insist on spending the night in the garden, I can give you a set of quilts for your bedding." "Old man, that's really troublesome for you." Because the gardener didn't know that the princess was coming to visit the garden at that time, he agreed to the request of Prince Artes, agreed to him to stay in the garden for one night, and brought him a quilt for bedding. After Princess Haya Tufus reconciled with the nanny, the nanny saw that the princess was eager to go to the garden to play, and immediately notified Prince Artes secretly, teaching him how to sneak into the imperial garden and how to talk to the princess. See above.After everything was arranged properly, he returned to the palace and told the princess how the flowers in the garden were competing to bloom, and how the fruit trees were full of fruits, ripe and delicious. The princess heard this and said with great interest: "Nurse, if Allah wishes, you can accompany me to the garden tomorrow and have a good time playing for a day. You send someone to inform the gardener that we are going to the Royal Garden tomorrow, and tell him Ready." According to the princess' wishes, the wet nurse sent someone to inform the gardener, saying: "Tomorrow, the princess will come to the garden, so you should prepare well. Any craftsmen or other idlers who do odd jobs in the garden are not allowed to enter the garden." When the gardener learned of this, he hurriedly sent away his craftsmen, and then went to Prince Artes and said, "My benefactor, I have only received your favor since I was born, so you can walk around here as you like, but at this moment I My tongue was trampled under my feet, and I was in trouble, but I beg your forgiveness anyway. You know, Princess Haya Tufus is the master of this garden. Today I learned that the princess will have a When you come to this garden for sightseeing, any outsiders must avoid it, so I can only beg you to leave this place temporarily. Come back after the princess swims back tomorrow night. At that time, even if you live for ten or eight years, no one will ask you to come back. let you go." "Old man, have I brought you any misfortune?" "No, my lord, by Allah, you have brought me generosity and mercy." "Since we try our best to bring you good luck, you can just let me hide and not let others find out. I will come out after the princess returns from the garden." "My master, as long as the princess finds a figure in the garden, she will kill me." "Don't be afraid, I won't let anyone see me. Of course, your family can't make ends meet right now, and you need relief." The prince said and handed the five hundred gold coins to the gardener, and said, "Take these five hundred gold coins and go raise your son. Goddaughter, lighten up the family fatigue." When the gardener saw Huang Chengcheng's gold coin, his heart softened and he no longer insisted on his own opinion.He repeatedly told the prince to hide it well and never show his face.So the prince finally got the consent of the gardener and stayed in the imperial garden. The next morning, Princess Haya Tufus ordered her servants to open the secret door leading to the royal garden, and then dressed up carefully, ready to visit the garden.On her head is a crown inlaid with gold and inlaid with jade. She wears a gold embroidered shirt and a Persian royal dress inlaid with pearls and gems. The high-soled clogs on her feet are also inlaid with jewels.The princess looks like a fairy at first, and she has beautiful costumes to add luster, making her even more graceful and moving. Haya Tufus Princess Haya Tufus walked out of the boudoir gracefully, put her hand on the nurse's shoulders, leaned on her, walked out of the secret door slowly, and came to the imperial garden.The nurse looked up and saw groups of concubines in the garden, some were picking fruits to eat, some were playing in the water, some were joking and chasing after each other, each had his own pleasure.Seeing this situation, she came up with a plan, and calmly said to the princess: "Your Highness, you are extremely intelligent. Naturally, you know that you don't need to be surrounded by people to serve you when you visit the garden. If this is the city, so many servants will increase your prestige, dignity and royal ostentation. But today, since you have quietly entered the imperial garden through the secret door to visit, and you don’t want any outsiders to see you, why do you need so many servants?” "Nurse, you are right, but they are all here, what should we do?" "You can only keep the two of you by your side, and send all the rest back, so that you can have a good time in peace and quiet." The nurse suggested to the princess. Princess Haya Tufus obeyed the nurse's instructions, and sent the servants back, leaving only two confidantes around.Seeing that the princess was in a good mood, the nurse said to her right away, "Come on, miss! Now we can have fun." So she took the princess by the arm, and played with the two maidservants behind her, gagging and laughing. Walking and walking, the nurse gave pointers to the princess from time to time, picked fruits for her to eat, and took her on a tour from one place to another, wandering east and west, until she came to the pavilion of the newly repaired building.Princess Haya Tufus was surprised when she saw that the pavilion had taken on a new look, and asked casually: "Nurse, look, this pavilion has a brand new look!" "Miss, I swear to Allah, I already knew it. It is said that the old gardener bought a batch of fabrics on credit from a group of merchants, and then resold them, and then bought mud tiles and bricks with the proceeds building materials such as blocks and stones. I asked him: 'What are you buying these for? ’ He said: ‘It is used to repair and paint this dilapidated pavilion in the garden. ’ He also said: ‘If merchants ask me for debts, I will tell them that when the master comes to visit the garden, if he is satisfied with the newly repaired pavilions, he will reward me, and paying the debts will become a problem. ’ I asked him: ‘Why are you doing this? ’ He said: ‘Because this pavilion is too dilapidated, some places have collapsed, and the walls are also peeling off. Since there is no good-hearted person to build it, why don’t I borrow money to repair it.I just hope the princess can do her part well. 'I said to him: 'The princess is the kindest and most generous person.She will definitely compensate you and reward you for your good deed of borrowing money to repair the house. 'In short, the reason why the old gardener did this is nothing more than to get your gift. " "I swear to Allah that he borrowed money to repair the pavilion, which is an act of accumulating virtue. What he did is in line with the principles of a gentleman, and he should be rewarded. Nurse, go and call the financial manager for me." According to the princess's wishes, the old lady called the financial manager. The princess ordered two thousand gold coins to be brought as a silver reward, and at the same time she asked the old lady to send someone to call the gardener to come and receive the reward.The messenger came to the gardener's house and said to him: "I was ordered to come to ask you to meet Her Royal Highness, please hurry up." The gardener was taken aback when he heard what the servant said. He was so frightened that he was so weak and trembling, he thought: "Needless to say, that kid must have made a mistake. I'm out of luck today." The princess told her wife and children about the summons, and then bid farewell to them.His family members were all worried about his safety and wept together.His feet were as heavy as if filled with lead, and he slowly moved to the princess, his face was sallow with fright, and his body trembled and curled up into a ball. The old lady saw him in such a state of distress, and hurriedly said to him: "Old man, hurry up and kneel down to thank the master, and pray for the princess's longevity! The princess knows that you have started to repair the building, and she appreciates what you have done. Because, in order to thank you for your contribution, I will reward you with two thousand gold coins. Now go to the accountant to receive the reward. Kneel down and thank the princess, and then you can go." After hearing what the old lady said, the gardener suddenly turned from sadness to joy, and let out a sigh of relief.After receiving two thousand gold coins, he ran up to the princess, kissed the ground, sincerely expressed his gratitude and best wishes to the princess, then left in a hurry and went home to announce the good news.His wife and children were overjoyed to see that he returned home safe and sound, and everyone blessed and prayed for those who helped him get the reward. After the gardener took the reward and left, the old lady turned to the princess and said: "Miss, the exterior of this building has been restored in a dignified manner. To be honest, I have never seen anything whiter and more vivid than the lime and paint used in this building. But I don't know the interior of the building. Has it been renovated? Maybe it looks good on the outside, but the inside is dilapidated, why don’t we go in and have a look.” As she spoke, she took the princess and walked in, and when she looked up, the interior of the pavilion was magnificently decorated, with a myriad of sights. The princess looked around, and suddenly stopped her gaze on the wall of the hall.After taking a closer look, she stood there in surprise.Seeing that the princess had finally found the dream picture, the old lady pulled away the two maids beside her so as not to disturb the princess's reverie. The princess looked at the painting carefully and was astonished.She clapped her hands and turned around to call the old lady and said, "Nurse, you see this is really amazing. If this kind of thing can be passed down from generation to generation, it will definitely be a warning to future generations." "Your Highness, what is so amazing?" The old lady pretended to be ignorant of the inside story. "Go to the hall first, and take a closer look before you talk. What's going on here?" The old lady was ordered to enter the hall, stared at the murals with wide eyes, opened her mouth in surprise, and said: "Miss, I swear to Allah, the hunters, snares and others in these pictures of catching birds are not exactly Did you see it in your dream that day? It turns out that the male bird escaped and did not come back to rescue its female partner. It is understandable. Look at the painting, it fell into the claws of a fierce bird and was torn apart The flesh was shattered, and it was swallowed whole by the fierce bird. Your Highness, this is the reason why the male bird did not come to rescue the female bird. However, I find it strange that how did His Highness’s dream come out? If This is His Highness's own will, and I think it is absolutely impossible. I swear to Allah, this is really strange and inexplicable, and it may become an anecdote through the ages. Your Highness! Could it be because we misread the male The bird, resenting it for its ruthlessness, cowardice and selfishness, the gods who are ordered to govern human beings, only cite solid evidence to complain for it, and to explain the truth?" "Nurse, that male bird has been swallowed up by bad luck, and we have treated him very unfairly," said the princess regretfully. "Your Highness! In front of Allah, enemies will always settle their grievances by themselves. But my Highness, now that the truth is revealed, we have admitted the innocence of the male bird. If it wasn't for the murderous bird that killed the male bird, how could it be willing to let go of the female bird?" No matter. But death is inescapable, and human beings also face death. Just like a man among us, he may rather endure hunger and cold himself, but also let his wife eat and clothe him warmly.
