Tang Dynasty good man

Chapter [-] New Concepts of Beauty

The two of them worked together to wipe out a big watermelon. If it wasn't for the melon seeds, I would have given up a long time ago. I was too full.After eating, they walked around in the nursery again. It was getting late, and the two said goodbye and went their separate ways.

I pretended to be leisurely, watched him walk away, jumped to the place where he had just eaten watermelon, and carefully collected all the melon seeds he vomited.There are many and big watermelon seeds in ancient times, all of which are collected into a handful, squatting on the spot in the pool next to them and washing them clean.I can't waste it. I poured out all the change in my purse and stuffed it on my body. The melon seeds in the purse were really stuffed.

When I went out, I found that the door was quiet, and the tense atmosphere that had been heavily guarded just now was gone. There were only two older porters left in the house where I was searched.I didn't see any of the other guard officers, and they got off work at three or four o'clock in the afternoon. They were too irresponsible, and they had no organizational discipline at all.Without guards, a few gardeners in the distance spread out mats under the shade of the trees and fell asleep, peacefully.From now on, I will come at this time to avoid being interrogated, and it is not difficult to lead a sheep or something.

I was a little unwilling to go out, so I turned around and went in again, randomly dug up a few seedlings of rare flowers with the gardener's shovel, put them in the saddle bag, and when I went out, even the two porters at the door were gone.I rely on!He took the horse back and went straight to the watermelon field. He picked a big one and washed it in the pool. The girdle was too small to fit it in. He took off his long gown, tied it up, and hung it on the saddle.No, it is uncomfortable to walk on one side of the horse under force, and it will be balanced by another one, so continue.I didn't prepare enough this time, it's a pity, next time I will bring a carriage over and wash Nanlin Garden with blood.

Going home without saying a word, I found a big basket and washed it, filled it with watermelon and put it in the well, and waited for the two daughters to come back to eat together at night.

"Is this the legendary cold melon?" Few people have seen this thing these days.Ying is no exception. It doesn't matter whether she can see it or not when she climbs to the mouth of the well. Anyway, she is in the same posture as about to jump into the well. I was so scared that I hurriedly lifted her aside. "I didn't know this thing until I hung out with them last year. Only then can we eat. Husband, did you meet a nobleman today?"

"That's right, it's not a noble person, just an ordinary royal relative. I don't even know who your husband is." That guy's surname is Li, and he might be a distant relative or something.I patted my bulging belly, and said nonchalantly, "I don't like to eat, they forced me to eat, three or four. After eating two bites, I threw them all away." I took out the flowers I dug secretly and put them on the well platform, "Find someone to give them to us." Planted at home, it is a flower in the palace, and if you are not rich enough, you will not be given it."

"Ah!" Ying heard that I threw three or four, with a look of regret. "It's a pity to throw away such expensive things in three or four." He carefully picked up the flowers and divided them lightly. "Husband is too careless, several trees have been broken, I will take care of planting them myself." Calling a few people over, they rushed towards the garden in a hurry.

In the evening, when the second daughter and the fourth child came back from work, Ying asked them both to wash their hair and take a bath, "wash them all, and I have something good for you two." She turned her head and greeted me. "Husband, go to the backyard and help the concubine pull up the cold melon. It's too heavy, and I'm afraid it won't be broken."

"Find two servants." I just took a shower, did physical work, and was sweating again, "I didn't see you, so I changed my clothes!"

"Oh, my husband." Ying took my arm.He pulled me affectionately and walked towards the backyard, "It's a precious thing. How can a servant touch it, I don't think it's too expensive."

The rotten watermelon that cannot be sold for a few cents in later generations has become a noble thing. Think about the melon seeds hanging in the backyard, and wait until next year to replant it, and it will be noble all summer. "Don't pull it, squeeze it and sweat it, it's not enough to go."

The fourth child had never seen a watermelon before, so as soon as he brought it, he threw himself on it and held it in his arms to look at it, feeling very strange.Ying also had the opportunity to look at it again, and the two sisters were amazed, and they followed the pattern on the melon rind and touched it happily.The second daughter took a closer look, smiled at me, and stretched out her little hand to scratch me.

This girl is a connoisseur, and she probably ate a lot when she was a child. I grabbed my hand and patted her, and winked at her. The two of them smiled knowingly, admiring the village girl-like expressions of Ying and the fourth child.

"Just cut it like this?" Ying saw that I was about to cut it with a knife, so she stopped the castration, "It's round and looks good, let's let it sit for a few more days before cutting."

"How can I eat it if I don't cut it? Let's have another one. Let's see." I shook off her hand and cut the watermelon in half.The melon is good, and the sand and sweetness are guaranteed. "It's the inside that looks good. Don't throw melon seeds around, spit them out into a small bowl for me, and we'll plant some on slopes next year." The level of cutting melons cultivated since childhood is not to cover the ground, but the teeth of normal size are placed neatly, "Ask someone to invite Steward Qian and Mr. Hu. It's thanks to them that they have worked so hard for the trouble in the Zhuangzi this time."

"En," Ying nodded, "My husband said yes, this is our duty as the head of the house." Seeing that the fourth child was unwilling, he patted the fourth child on the head, "There is still one in the well, enough for you to eat, sister's even one I'll give it to you." Then he snatched the melon tooth that the fourth child took into his hand and put it away, "Eat later, since you are inviting someone, there must be a rule."

When Steward Qian and Accountant Hu came, the fourth child had already killed two yuan under my connivance, and his face was full of melon juice.

"Come on, let's try something new." First, he handed a piece to each of the two elders. "Today, I met a friend and gave me two cold melons. I just cut them up, so eat them while they are cold."

"Wild melon?" The housekeeper took a closer look with his hand and pointed to the half on the table, "A fruit is this big?"

"Brother Qian, haven't you seen it?" Accountant Hu took a small bite, looking intoxicated, "Good food, this is not something ordinary people can eat. I heard people talking about this thing when I was young. There are, and the current saint only ate two or three bites a year."

"Ah?" The housekeeper shuddered when he heard what Accountant Hu said, and almost fell off. "This big one, how many mouthfuls do you have to eat? Isn't that more than the Holy Majesty? Isn't it appropriate for an old man to eat this? It's a short life!" He stood up and put it on the table.

"Eat yours." Seeing that the money steward was in a panic, he hurriedly stopped him, "If my family eats a melon, what kind of life will I get?" He took a piece and took the lead to eat.According to the way I eat at noon, I have already lived hundreds of years old, and the accountant will make a fuss. This is not good for scholars, and they make a fuss.

"Then eat?" Qian Butler looked at Accountant Hu and gnawed it clean after a few mouthfuls. He mustered up the courage to lick it, and then showed a disgusting expression of satisfaction. "As expected of something the Holy Majesty has eaten, the taste is extraordinary." The butler ate it carefully, and it made me feel distressed to see it. He even swallowed the melon seeds. Even the accountants know how to spit them out, but he didn't have the awareness.

"Okay, okay," seeing the housekeeper gnawing the melon rind almost transparent.Quickly signaled him to throw it away, "You don't need to eat this skin, it won't be good to eat. You are welcome, there is still on the table."

"Don't dare, dare not." Accountant Hu pulled the housekeeper to stand up and leave, "It's a blessing to have the honor to taste a piece, and I will remember this taste in my life. Thank you for your hospitality, I don't want to disturb you." The housekeeper nodded in agreement.Still holding the melon rind in their hands and reluctant to throw it away, the two said goodbye.

"How many mouthfuls did the emperor take?" The fourth child couldn't eat anymore, patted his belly and hummed, "Then how much is the emperor's amount I ate today. Sister, there is still half. Cut it up and eat."

"Stop talking nonsense, there is no sense of proportion. You don't have to worry about eating." Ying stood up and cut the other half, "Why does my husband only eat a small piece?"

"I don't like to eat it. After the three of you eat it, it won't be fresh tomorrow." Except for the fourth child, Ying and the second daughter each ate one piece, and I'm just a man. "After eating, slice the melon rind and put it on your face, it's good for the skin. You eat it, and I'll go around the yard." With me by my side, Elder Ying wants to take care of me.They are not happy.

It has been a whole year since I came to the Tang Dynasty, and I am already familiar with the gates and courtyards of the palace, and I can walk smoothly even in the dark.I came to the garden alone, and sat down by the biggest pine tree. The surroundings were quiet, and occasionally there were a few insects chirping, and fireflies lit up.Shadows of Qin Yu and Cheng Chu emerged in their hearts one by one, although they had only known each other for a year.But I can feel it.These are true friends.Thinking of this makes me feel ashamed. I have been eroded by the values ​​of the commercialized society of the 21st century beyond recognition.At the beginning, I started dating with the intention of clinging, and every time I think about it, I feel guilty.At least I can feel guilty, not to the point of no cure, but it is almost impossible to correct it, maybe I will never be able to be a real Tang Dynasty person in my life...

"Husband," the second daughter crept out from behind, startling me.After I sat down, "I knew my husband was here."

"Hehe, you're the only elf." The pine tree blocked the brilliance of the stars, and it was pitch black under the tree. He groped for the second daughter's hand, "Why don't you eat melons?"

"I don't like to eat." The second girl put her head on my shoulder, "Every time I come here, I feel like my husband is a different person. The stars outside are so bright, why do you like to drill into the darkness?"

Maybe my heart is closer to the darkness. I can't answer the second daughter's question, so I sighed, patted her little hand, and remained silent.

"My concubine also likes this place, and I can't see myself even if I hide here, so I feel at ease." The second daughter changed her posture, groped as if she was taking off her shoes, and then rolled on the grass with her feet on my knees, "I can bear it My husband is more at ease, I never felt this way before."

The experience of the second daughter made me sad, and the tone of my words made me feel distressed.These words should not have come out of the mouth of a fifteen or six-year-old girl. Girls are afraid of the dark, but the second daughter likes to hide in the dark. Don't be afraid."

"Husband, the second daughter is very similar to you. They are all alone." It may be because the distance is too far, or it may be that it is uncomfortable to lie down. The second daughter sat up again and gave me her hand again. The second daughter understands."

"Why am I alone again?" I stroked her head lovingly, what was the little girl thinking. "You have me and your wife by your side, who love and spoil you, how can you be considered alone?"

"Well, that's the way to say it. My wife can feel that I feel sorry for my concubine. But I'm still lonely in my heart. I can only be at ease when I'm alone with my husband." The second daughter leaned over and kissed me, "You don't need to hide your concubine's identity. , You are not in the same way as them. Your thoughts, insights, and even the tone of your voice are different, and you are covering up when you are with your wife. "

"The skin is itchy again? Haven't you been beaten for a long time?" The sleep talk in front of Lan Ling last time was too much for me to resist. Why did the second daughter also say this? Could it be that I also talked in sleep when I hugged her to sleep?The second daughter is my wife, so I didn't bother to guard against it, so it's okay to leak something?

"Hee hee, my husband has always been a concubine and raised a baby. In fact, he has grown up a long time ago." The second daughter posted over and proved herself with curves, "I don't dare to guess what is in my husband's heart, but I can feel it , maybe this is the reason why Princess Lanling hangs around our house all day. A wife is different from a concubine. She is a blessed one and takes everything for granted..."

Moved the body of the second girl and put it on the buttocks, and it was two hundred and five hundred, "What are you blessed with? Those who are beaten are not blessed! You don't learn well at a young age, and there are a bunch of crooked people. Are you tired of thinking about it all day?"

"Haha, I hit someone every time I was hit." The second girl hugged me so tightly that she didn't feel hot. "I didn't think about it intentionally. I thought about it inadvertently. Sometimes I also think about it. It's the story about the painted skin told by my husband in the past. There is a person outside and another person inside."

"It's a ghost inside, not a human. What are you talking about, it sounds so scary to you." I deliberately lowered my voice, "This flowery grass, after a long time, it will become a ghost, and it will be troublesome if you provoke one. .”

"I'm not afraid." The second daughter got up and jumped a few times on the grass, "It's a monster, it can be more powerful than others? When my concubine was in trouble when I was a child, I was afraid of being bullied. I slept in the graveyard for several nights. If I provoke you, I will pester you up."

The second daughter was right, the living are much scarier than the dead.Judging by her tone now, it will take another ten years.Definitely one of the scariest species of living beings. "Don't you learn better, and speak in such a small tone, aren't you afraid that I have thoughts in my heart, and I won't wait to see you in the future?"

"Don't be afraid, my husband likes the appearance of a concubine." The second daughter leaned over and lay on my lap, "What is the second daughter thinking in her heart and what kind of temperament is it? Let the husband see clearly. The concubine's life is fake on weekdays, and only the husband knows the bottom line. If you continue to cover it up, you will simply not live. The husband likes the two girls to have two appearances, doesn't he?"

"Get out!" I got up and picked up the second daughter and left. If I continued, this girl should be promoted. "Go back and clean you up. I will beat you to death!"

"Shoes. I didn't wear them." The two girls laughed and struggled to find them. "My husband admitted it. Didn't you?"

"That's right," said helplessly, "but we can't go too far in the future."

"Hee hee," the second daughter hooked up her shoes and threw herself on me, saying in a tired voice, "When the fourth child is gone, do you want to see the third concubine's appearance?"

"Careful to be beaten!"

When I went back to the room, Ying had followed my advice, put a few pieces of watermelon rind on her face for beauty, and she was about to correct her, when the second woman screamed from the main room.

"It's okay, there's no need to go there." I grabbed Ying who was about to run to see what happened, and pointed to the watermelon rind on her face, "I guess I was scared by the appearance of the fourth child, haha..." Although the second daughter is a Bold, but the guy who opened the door and saw a grimacing face was still frightened, remembering that I had such an experience, I laughed happily.

"Hehe, that's right, it's really scary." Ying climbed back onto the kang, and beckoned me to go up, "Is it really going to look good like this?"

"It must be beautiful!" I nodded firmly, climbed onto the kang table and began to solve the problem of Lanling reserved land.

"Talk to me with my concubine," Ying snatched the brush from my hand, and rolled up the paper in a few strokes, "I've been messing with this all day long, the princess is really, everyone left, and I left these Zhan Husbands behind thought."

"Well," since everything has been cleaned up, forget it, and find an excuse to get in tomorrow.Reaching out to peel off the melon on Ying's face, "Don't post this when you're talking, you can't see anyone, be anxious."

Ying wiped her face clean in two or three steps, and moved a bamboo pillow over, "After my husband went out today, an official from the 'Chongxian Hall' came and wanted to invite my husband to give lectures. This is a famous post." The post was handed over to me, "That cold melon made a fuss, I even forgot my business."

"Chongxian Hall? What's the use of asking me to go?" I flipped through the post and pretended to read it, but I didn't quite understand it, so I threw it aside.Ying didn't understand that "Chongxian Hall" has been renamed "Chongwen Hall", and now it has become a title, such as "Chongxian Hall Bachelor" and "Chongxian Hall Attendant" are all doing learning in "Chongwen Hall" , Editing a history book and genealogy, or being a teacher to the noble and royal children, teaching the prince and the like. "Fortunately, I went out. It would be really troublesome if I didn't get entangled. It's a place where pedants go. A bunch of them are old and dignified. Don't mention this matter."

"Hehe, that's what I said. A lot of people rushed in. When my husband said it, it became a place of smog." Ying got up and poured me a cup of herbal tea, "Have you ever thought about it, once you go in, That prestige is quite different, seeing the emperor is always sitting."

"I just lie down and don't go to see the emperor," Ying said, not understanding what was going on inside. Once this 'Chongwen Museum' entered, it would inevitably be involved in the royal faction struggle, and it was impossible to get out unscathed.Especially since I have zero experience in this field and I am young, it would be strange not to be used as a gun when I enter. "If you want to live a peaceful life, you must stay away from literati. The more you learn about the land, the darker your heart will be. If the 'Guozijian' Or the 'Hongwen Museum' can still be considered, after all, it will not have anything to do with the royal family."

"Well, my concubine is ignorant, so don't blame my husband." Ying stood up and put away the name stickers, "But they came to the door, and I can't justify ignoring them, and I still have to be full of etiquette."

"That's for sure, there will be no lack of etiquette." This era is too particular about etiquette, and you have to talk about etiquette even if you copy a knife and cut someone, "Lan Ling is coming tomorrow, I will ask her, I must be polite Drop it. If it gets infected, it's troublesome."

"Also," Ying suddenly turned over, and took out a small pouch, "I asked for the child-giving talisman again, it worked, and I brought it with me..." She blushed and kicked me a few times, her body limp Lean back and slip out.

"Just think about it, why use a piece of paper as an excuse," Ying's charming appearance aroused my interest, I pulled her over, and gave me a smirk, "You asked for it, don't blame me for being a hot hand."

"Well, the concubine was dozing off, so she fell asleep and didn't know anything..."
