Chapter 7 Chapter Three Miss

What is reflected in the bronze mirror is a pink face, as clear and beautiful as a lotus emerging from water; a pair of crescent eyebrows set off the water pupils, like a smile from a distant mountain, green waves in spring water; and a little bit of cherry lips , reflecting the radiance of Zhuyan like the morning glow; changing back to the Han family's daughter's clothes, Xue'er looks even more graceful and beautiful, soft and pleasant. She was wearing a light-colored embroidered dress, combed in a bun, with a jade hairpin inserted obliquely, and a string of pearl necklaces around her neck, and there was no other jewelry; She has a dazzling color, but on her body, she exudes a noble and elegant atmosphere; she sits facing the mirror, her eyes and lips can't hide the joy in her heart, and a sweet smile flows .

So, she couldn't help opening her vermilion lips lightly, and sang softly: "Spring feast, sing a song with a glass of green wine, and then pay homage to Chen three wishes: first, I wish my husband a thousand years; second, I wish my concubine a long and healthy life; See you at the age..." She sang the poem "Longevity Girl" by Feng Yansi, a poet of the Five Dynasties. The words are lingering in meaning, and the tune is mellow. She sings slowly, just telling the tenderness in her heart like water, and the sweetness in her heart, so she is very special. It was so sweet that even she herself was intoxicated by the singing, as if her heart had fallen into a dream.

However, the sound of knocking on the door twice sounded at this moment, waking up her sweet dream: "Xue'er!" "It's you—come in!" It was Nurhachi who knocked on the door and entered. The smile on Xueer's face became sweeter, but Nurhachi's expression still looked heavy. There was a cloud of sadness between the originally handsome eyebrows, and he didn't say a word when he entered the room. After sitting down on the kang, he straightened his eyes and was lost in thought. Xue'er was originally born with a delicate heart, ice and snow intelligence, plus her understanding of Nurhachi, when she saw his expression, she had already guessed very well in her heart: "Nurhachi, you are still leading troops out of the city to fight for your godfather." Worried?"

Nurhachi first looked back at her fixedly, then sighed, and spoke after a while: "I really want to go out of the city to find out..." Xue'er said: "However, once you leave Liaodong Town, the place is so big and there are so many Jurchen cities, and you don't have a definite target, where can you go for information?" : "Let's ask them when they come back! Besides, the godmother also said that it's not the Jianzhou Zuowei, so don't worry about it!" Nurhachi smiled wryly, and stretched out his hand to hold Xue'er's palm: "I also thought, it wouldn't be to fight Jianzhou Zuowei—but, I don't know why, but I have a faint ominous feeling in my heart! Xue'er, my heart is so chaotic, it's so hard to calm down, I'm so irritable!"

After hearing this, Xue'er couldn't help sighing softly, then she leaned over slowly, put her cheek on Nurhachi's chest, and softly advised him: "Be patient first, please? There is no way to do this, you know godfather's temperament, he will send troops to fight, and he will not reveal his whereabouts to anyone beforehand, so at this moment, no one in the house knows where godfather is There it goes!" Nurhachi sighed: "I know all of this—but I can't bear the uneasy and unlucky feeling in my heart, as if something unfortunate is about to happen!" Xue'er had no choice but to politely say: "Then, let me go out with you for a walk to relax, okay?"

She tilted her face sideways, her voice was extremely soft, and her eyes showed deep affection and earnest attention, which were reflected in Nurhachi's eyes, and the four eyes met each other, echoing the interaction, flowing into the water like spring water. heart. So, Nurhachi nodded, embraced her, put on a red cloak trimmed with fox fur for her, and walked out of the room with her on his arm. The two of them strolled, leaving two lines of clear footprints on the snow; after Ningyuan Bo's Mansion, there were a few ordinary houses scattered on the street, but because of the heavy snow, every house closed their doors tightly; There were few pedestrians coming and going, and it seemed silent; the more the two walked, the less and less people were there. After walking for a while, they reached a place near the city gate, and there were no other people around; in the vast white glass world, only him The two walked hand in hand, as if they were about to go into eternity.

When the city gate arrived, the two climbed up the steps to the tower, and after greeting Mr. Qian who was patrolling the tower, the two stood on the tower by themselves, looking around. The endless snow scene has a thrilling and magnificent beauty, the snow light is reflected on the silver-white land, and the distant mountains and forests are multiplied with a mysterious atmosphere; the sky is vast, and there are too many beautiful places everywhere. However, facing such a beautiful scenery, Nurhachi let out a long sigh unknowingly, then squinted his eyes, stared into the distance, and murmured in his mouth: "To the east - only a few days' journey - is to build Hetuala, where Zhou Zuowei is located!"

Xue'er was by his side, and suddenly heard him say such a sentence, her heart couldn't help but ask softly: "Nurhachi, are you homesick?" Nurhachi sighed: "It has been six years since I left home at the age of nineteen. In the past six years, I have never gone back—but at this moment, I am thinking of my old home for no reason..." Xue'er couldn't help sighing softly, so she said to Nurha Chidao, "Then, after a few days, when godfather comes back and tells his old man, you can take me back to Jianzhou!" As soon as these words came out, Nurhachi was taken aback for a moment, and asked subconsciously, "Go back to Jianzhou?"

Xue'er's cheeks flushed slightly, and she snuggled into Nurhachi's arms shyly and tenderly, whispering softly: "Yes - although we can live in the godfather's house for a long time, but - in a few months, After the child is born, we must let him recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, right?" Hearing the words, Nurhachi involuntarily flashed a look of pain in his eyes, he was silent for a long time, then sighed again, and then said to Xue'er in a trembling voice: "Xue'er, how do you know that I have nothing at all? I can't go home!"

Xue'er was taken aback, and blurted out, "Why?" As soon as the words came out, she became aware of herself, and quickly said to Nurhachi: "Ah, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to ask about your secret pain..." Nurhachi shook his head, stopped her apology, and then said to her: "There are some things that I should tell you——I'm not trying to hide anything from you, but six years ago, you were only ten years old, so there are some You don’t know a lot of things!” His voice gradually calmed down, so he told Xue’er in a gentle tone: “My mother’s surname is Xi Tara, the daughter of Governor Agu, and she is the most beautiful woman in the world. The most gentle, kind, and loving person to me, but she passed away when I was ten years old, leaving behind me, Shuerhaqi and Yalhaqi, two younger brothers and a younger sister, There was the second brother, Murhaqi, who was born to his concubine Li Jiashi; later, I, Ama, married Nalashi, the adopted daughter of Hadawan Khan, and gave birth to the fifth brother Bayara; Shi always thought I was not good. When I was nineteen years old, she ordered me to accompany my fourth brother to learn riding and archery. The fifth brother was young at that time. My horse ran fast. If I was not careful, the fifth brother fell off the horse. Come down; unexpectedly, because of this, she actually said to everyone that I wanted to kill the fifth brother on purpose - and used this reason to ask me to leave home to live alone; therefore, I lived alone by hunting and gathering ginseng, and left home and came to Shen Positive!"

After listening to this passage, it also touched the pain in Xue'er's heart. She couldn't help but lay in Nurhachi's arms, and wept with tears: "In the past, I only thought that I was the only orphan without a home in this world. No, you are just as miserable as me!" Nurhachi hugged her shoulder with one hand, patted her back with the other, and comforted her: "Perhaps, these unfortunate fates are just some chains that God gave us! God wants us to live in a helpless environment. Stand up bravely and overcome all kinds of difficulties..." With these words, he comforted Xue'er, and also encouraged himself—but, no matter how clear and powerful these words were, he couldn't sleep that night. A strong feeling of longing for his mother tightened his heart, causing him to toss and turn on the pillow; the burning heart was aching, forcing him to put on his clothes and get up. He opened the door and walked out, and walked slowly into the back garden. In the garden, there were trees and plum blossoms in full bloom, intertwined into a net of rich fragrance. It's in the net.He casually walked a few steps, gusts of wind blew by, blowing off a few plum petals, floating over his body, one petal just stopped on his shoulder, he didn't raise his hand to brush it, but stopped involuntarily pace. Standing in the cold fragrance, his thoughts are clear, but his mood is even more chaotic; standing among the flowers, he can't restrain the tide that has been hidden in his heart for a long time-tonight, wave after wave Surging, turbulent, what churned in my heart was the old homeland, all kinds of childhood and the kind and beautiful voice and smile of my mother... This thought was so strong that it made his heart ache. His eye sockets became wet, and there was a pool of tears rolling. He resisted it, not letting the tears flow down; then, he raised his head silently, looking up at the dark sky. The cold wind and snow like a knife were constantly attacking him. He stood proudly, looking up to the sky, but it seemed that his mother's kindness was reflected in the black sky, smiling gently in the flying snowflakes, caressing his hands touching his forehead——it seemed as if his mother’s voice sounded in his ears again, telling him the story of the birth of his ancestors again; it was the voice that he could never tire of listening to when he was young: “Nurhachi, You raise your head and look to the east—yes, that’s Guolemin, Shangyan’alin, Changbai Mountain, the holy mountain bestowed on us by God..." His mother's voice echoed in his heart, calling him, telling him the distant myth... The great holy mountain is as high as the sky, towering majestically above the earth. Its branches stretch for thousands of miles like a long dragon. The ups and downs are vast, majestic, vast, long and beautiful; , exudes eternal light. There is Tianchi Lake on the top of the mountain, which is the source of the river; on the east side of the pool are Bucuri Mountain and Bull Lake. Flowers and trees grow beside the lake in the mountains, and the blue waves are covered by mist. The scenery is as beautiful as a fairyland. I don’t know which year it was, but when the spring was warm, three goddesses came here. They are: the dignified and gracious elder sister Ngulun, the gentle and lovely second sister Zhenggulun, and the lively and beautiful third sister Fokulun; Soaring in the sky with the clouds, traveling around the world, only to see this beautiful holy mountain, the white snow on the top of the mountain is shining dazzlingly, so they stop to play, stroll among the mountains and forests, and enjoy the scenery... When they came to the lakeside, the azure lake water was as clear as a mirror, the sky and clouds were reflected in the lake, and the spring breeze gently stirred up ripples—their beautiful faces were in the ripples, as bright and clean as three water lotuses; they He was very happy to see it, so Fokulun said with a smile: "Let's go to the lake and play with our shadow!" Ngulun shook his head and said, "No, it's not good to be seen!" Fokulun said: "There is no one else here!" Ngulun said: "Father and Queen will scold us if they know about it!" The two talked, and finally they had to ask Zheng Gulun what he meant; Zheng Gulun said: "I will do what you want!" After hearing this, Fokulun clapped his hands happily and said, "Then do what I want!" So, She took off her clothes first and jumped into the lake, and Ngulun and Zhenggulun had to accompany her into the lake. The warm wind blew across their cheeks, spreading their laughter to the distance. The valley in the distance echoed, the birds began to sing, and the vegetation also resonated. music. At this time, the divine magpie, which was far away in the sky, heard these melodious voices, and took off with fluttering wings to participate in this grand event. Then he unloaded Zhu Guo on Fokulun's clothes. The water rippled on the bodies of the three sisters, and the beautiful Fokulun swam happily until Ngurun urged her: "Go ashore! We should go back!" Fokulun said: "Let's wait a while!" Engu Lun said, "It's late, Heavenly Father and Queen Mother will be in a hurry!" Under these urgings, Fokulun had no choice but to go ashore reluctantly. When she saw a vermilion fruit on her dress, she was very pleasantly surprised and said to her sisters: "Two sisters, look, they are so cute!" Fruit!" Ngulun said: "It belongs to that magpie, you take it first, put on your clothes, and then go and return it!" But Fokulun thought in his heart: "I can't hold it with both hands, such a beautiful fruit, throw it away." It will be dirty on the ground..." So she picked up the vermilion fruit and put it in her mouth. However, for some reason, Zhu Guo swallowed it all at once; Fokulun's body also began to undergo abnormal changes. She was very panicked and called to her sisters, "Sister, my body suddenly became heavier." Already!" After Ngulun and Zhenggulun looked at her carefully, they told her, "You are pregnant!" Fokulun said anxiously, "Your body is heavy, and you cannot fly. What should I do?" Ngulun and Zhenggulun could only comfort her. Looking at her: "Don't worry, we are celestial maidens who are ranked among the immortals. After you give birth, everything can still be restored! Moreover, it must be God's will to borrow your belly to give birth. Now we will go back to heaven and transfer it on your behalf." After giving birth to father and mother, you can stay in the world with peace of mind, and come back after giving birth to your child!" Ngulun and Zhenggulun flew back to the sky after speaking. Fokulun stayed alone by the lake waiting to give birth. One morning, when the first golden thread of the sun had just penetrated, she gave birth to a boy; After reading it, he said, "Your surname should be Aixinjueluo, and your name should be Bucuri Yongshun." Bucuri Yongshun has a handsome appearance, a strong physique, and a wise and wise nature; Fokulun told him: "You are born of me swallowing vermilion fruit, and God wants you to be born in the world to bring order to the world." Curry Yong shunned a small boat, and flew back to the sky by himself. Bucuri Yongshun drove a small boat down the water source of Tianchi and came to the foot of the mountain. With his ingenuity, he settled the war between the three surnames, became Baylor, and built a temple in Emohui. In the city of Odori, children and grandchildren will continue forever... "This is the ancestor of the Aixinjueluo clan!" His mother's voice repeated to him: "Nurhachi! The Aixinjueluo clan was born to bring order to peace and stability!" The legend of the birth of the ancestors, the mother's voice and smile, the eternal reminders - in such a snowy night, they all rushed together in Nurhachi's heart like a torrent after fusion, and burned like a raging fire. "Er Niang! I will firmly remember Aixinjueluo's mission to bring peace and stability to the country..." Standing proudly in the snow, Nurhachi murmured towards the dark sky unconsciously As he spoke, his voice was low, but his fists were clenched tightly.
