Chapter 84: Where you feel at peace is my hometown, there is always affection without Zen.
When such scandals as Jiangnan Road came to your ears, I was naturally furious. This empress was extremely favored in the palace and was regarded as a sister by Queen Zhao. Therefore, her frown was not far from the emperor’s anger. So the officials and men on Jiangnan Road no longer dared to have the idea of watching the fun, and they bit the bullet and criticized them. Although Liu Liting wrote a moral article that made people amazing, it seemed that he was not very masculinity. When he saw that even the palace ladies got angry, he immediately woke up as if they were enlightened. First, he wrote a poem about breaking up with his friends and sent it to the widow’s door, and then went to cry with his wife. He also told the story of how the widow seduced him with a group of elegant men and scholars who had been friends on weekdays. For a moment, the poor woman from the foreign country surnamed Xu was surrounded by enemies. If she hadn’t had her family’s strong background, she would have been drowned. Liu Liting’s wife even went to Baoguo Temple to burn incense, slapped her in the face, and scolded her as a slut. The charming widow was not annoyed or angry, but just smiled slightly, unable to tell whether it was a bitter smile or a ridicule.
The scholars present were all moved.
The peonies in Baoguo Temple are the best in the south of the Yangtze River. According to geography, we have verified that the land veins of Huting County are the most suitable for peonies, which can cultivate the world’s most famous colorful flowers. At that time, Huting County had two peonies, Yao, Huang, Wei and Zi, were sent to the capital as tributes. Twenty days after its opening and falling, the capital was full of crazy. There are no less than a hundred kinds of peonies in Baoguo Temple in the county. In addition to Yao Huang and Wei Zi, who are also known as the queen of peony, there are also many treasures such as Qinglong Wohu, Zhao Feng, and Meat Furong. The largest pilgrimage in Baoguo Temple is the Widow Xu, who is now being criticized by thousands of people. She comes to burn incense and worship on the first and fifteenth day of every month, regardless of wind or rain. She only loves the peony “Zhao Powder”. There is a Zhao Powder that is as big as a bucket in the backyard of the temple. The branches and leaves are covered with scattered and clustered, and the eaves are scattered, with a brilliant momentum. Due to her outstanding family background and strange style, Huting County almost became her ornamental forbidden body. Today is the fifteenth day of the month, and the first day of the lunar month was the day when she was slapped by Liu’s wife. She took a close maid into the backyard. When she got married, she brought many servants and maids from her mother’s family, but she was not close to her. Only the little girl who was born in poverty by age was loved by her for no reason. She managed her family harshly and harshly, and there were few slaves in the house who were not afraid of fear. Only this maid, who was named Erqiao, was grateful and respected and protected her master everywhere. Today, the widow, who was less than 30 years old, pinching his maid, and said in a slight manner, “Miss, these pilgrims are really hateful. They burn incense, so why are you laughing at the lady when you see her!”
The widow, who was less than thirty years old, pinched the maid’s face and smiled charmingly, “You girl has a conscience.”
The little girl said indignantly, “Miss, that Liu Liting is too much! In those days, he was like dog skin plasters, and in the end the evil people complained first. Are those scholars who are well-read in poetry and books blind? Why do they help him talk!”
I couldn’t help laughing, bent down to look at a gorgeous peony, twisted a small piece of petal the size of a fingernail, sniffed, and smiled, “Don’t most men in the world have this kind of virtue, are they so angry? It’s not worth it if you get angry.”
The little girl said timidly, “Miss, just talk about something.”
The widow was amused and said, “Oh, Sichun has taken a fancy to whom I have seen.”
The little girl shook her head desperately, bit her lips, raised her head and said with a firm look, “Miss, the tough woman in Liu Liting’s family is so hateful. I heard that she often goes to Qingshan Temple to worship. I want to slap her twice. At that time, I beg my lady not to plead for Erqiao. Even if I am beaten to death, I will vent my anger on the lady! I know that the lady is not going well today, so I don’t worry about her anymore.”
She was stunned for a moment, her fingers gently shattered her petals, and she laughed in silence, “I didn’t feel sorry for you, but you, a little girl, got beaten up if you were slapped.”
The little girl cried anxiously, with tears on her face, and sobbed, “No, I just want to fight the fierce woman as long as I think that the lady was bullied for no reason. If I hadn’t been to the lady’s rescue, I would have been ruined by the evil people long ago. I have never read a book and I can’t read it, but when my parents are alive, I always say that I should remember others’ good things, and I remember the lady’s good things the lady’s best!”
The widow wiped away the tears for the little maid and said softly: “Okay, okay, I didn’t want to say that. Seeing you like this, I will tell you so that you, the silly girl. I deliberately kept that slap. You also know that Miss, I have a lawless brother. He is very busy on this trip. I was not sure whether this brother would visit his second sister first or come to Huting County to visit my eldest sister. If he heard about this slap, wouldn’t he come to me? His second sister, who is in love with the world and doesn’t care about this, wouldn’t I be able to fight. Life is rare and I’m not suffering. This is one of my few fun.”
The little girl nodded vigorously and said, “Well! I know, the lady’s younger brother is His Highness the Prince of Beiliang. The people in the mansion always like to whisper about His Highness, but they will be silent every time they see me.”
The widow rubbed the little girl’s ears dotingly and said, “With your pair of ears of wind, how dare you break your mouth in the mansion? Once I know, you will not be skinned and cramped.”
The little girl finally burst into tears and smiled.
My own lady seemed to feel very happy every time she talked about that high man.
The widow’s brows really stretched a little, and she smiled and said with a smile: “My younger brother has been beautiful since he was a child. There are not many peonies planted at home. Every time I bloom, I will take him to appreciate them, pick them off and wear them on his head, which is more beautiful than a girl. Unfortunately, it will rain in a few days. I wonder if he has time to catch up with this period.”
The little girl wiped her face with her sleeves and said naively: “The Bodhisattva will definitely bless the lady not to rain.”
The widow murmured softly, “Where is the little girl?”I understand the ruthless wind and rain that breaks the pain of affectionate romantic love. “
The girl who couldn’t hear it sincerely asked curiously, “What did the lady say?”
The widow teased, “You don’t understand even if you say it. “
As if afraid that this little maid would do stupid things, the widow said softly: “When my brother arrives in Jiangnan Road, you will know how those high-ranking scholars and rich children who are usually more respectful are not considered a thing. “
The top of the mountain is the Tianshi Mansion where purple and yellow nobles gather together, but there is only a pair of ruined old Taoist temples at the foot of the mountain.
The old Taoist, who is a master, has been fragile in order to make this retreat disciple, was able to make progress. At first, it was the “Da Meng Chunqiu” that the old Taoist priest had a skill. This is the secret technique of Taoism that even the four great heavenly masters could not learn the Taoist priests, and the disciples would not learn it, and they would not want to listen. Until one day, the old Taoist priest suddenly became enlightened and deliberately said it was Xu Fengnian in the letter, hoping that Huang Man’er would learn this Spring and Autumn Taoist priest who could sleep for five hundred years. As a result, the matter was really a mistake. The crazy disciple priest priest priest priest priest priest priest priest priest priest priest priest really learned the “Dream Chunqiu” with his heart.
It is not difficult to recite this method. The difficulty lies in how to activate the Qi. Dahuangting seeks to be thick, but Meng Chunqiu is the opposite way, seeks thinness, and practices to the peak of mystery. Almost all the Qi in the body is left, leaving only “one Qi”. The reason why the old Taoist priest valued his disciple Xu Longxiang and went thousands of miles to whisper to seek the King of Beiliang was precisely because Xu Longxiang was born with divine power and was born with a terrifying Vajra realm. If he learns to dream of Chunqiu, it is truly a mutual assistance between yin and yang, like a tiger adding wings. Zhao Xituan, the old Taoist of Longhu Mountain, never wanted the second Qi Xuan frame to appear on the mountain. As for whether Xu Longxiang came from the Heavenly Master Mansion, Zhao Xituan did not mind at all. There were fewer masters of the Heavenly Master Mansion who said he was in person or behind his back in this life.
In the past, Xu Longxiang refused to learn, which made the old Taoist priest who became masters a headache, but now Zhao Laodao still had a headache. That boy was obsessed with the twelve hours a day. This big dream of spring and autumn was simply tailored for Xu Longxiang by the ancestor. The old Taoist priest could have squatted with his apprentice to watch ants or streams. Even if he couldn’t speak, he had a companion to listen to his nagging. Now the old Taoist priest had nothing to do, so he was too bored, so he had to count on his fingers when the prince could come to Longhu Mountain.
