Ping An Biography

Chapter 484 Snow

The first snowfall finally fell in the twelfth lunar month, and the light snow drifted down from the sky slowly, and the world suddenly became dreamy.On the houses and among the treetops, there are mottled white flowers, just like the season when the flowers are falling.

A group of beauties in the corridor came back from admiring the snow, only to see the gorgeous dresses, the white fur between the collars, the crisp jingle bells on the rings and the soft laughter.It's like a paradise on earth.

The glamorous woman at the head is the imperial concubine Yao Ji, followed by Zhou Yiniang, Gu Chunhan and others, and Bai Fengjiao is also in the crowd.She was wearing a high-waisted skirt and a mink coat outside. The fur was wrapped around her neck, which made her face even redder and whiter.At first glance, no one can tell that she is a Miao, and her appearance is no different from that of a Han, but she still has some jerky accents when she speaks, and she learns very strangely. Mandarin accent, but from time to time some Huguang local dialect pops up.

When Bai Fengjiao was in Miaojiang, she was like a duck to water in the two big families of Bai Family and Long Family, and had a very high status.She has only been here for a few months, and she has already won the favor of Yao Ji... Not long after she entered the Chu Palace, she slowly discovered that the person who should have a good relationship here is Yao Ji, not Princess Zhou Yiniang.

Life is still good. Although the customs are different when you first arrive, you get used to it quickly. The picturesque life in the inland palace is rich in clothing and fine food. From a place with relatively poor conditions, anyone can adapt to this kind of pampered life. quick.Now if she is suddenly asked to return to Miaojiang, she may not be used to the original life after only a short life in the interior.

Among the noble ladies, she hangs out with everyone for fun, compares her looks and dresses, and fights for her thoughts. This kind of life is still very relaxed and comfortable.

The only regret is that in Miaojiang, she was always courted by a group of men, but here she has to compete with a group of women.And there is no chance to compete for favor. It has been a long time since he was canonized as the second concubine of the King of Hunan. He has not even seen Zhang Ning's face a few times, and he has no chance to serve him. He is either out of town or busy all day long.However, she has already figured out a way. To get King Xiang's attention, it is best to walk around with Yao Ji more often.Han people pay attention to filial piety. As long as Zhang Ning is in Wuchang, he cannot stop seeing his mother for a long time.

I was really disappointed. I thought Zhang Ning was a good man, and it was rare to have someone she could really look up to. Unfortunately, that was not the case. Women are just a part of him, and this part has to be shared with many people... Maybe this in itself is The marriage of power and interests should accept the reality and make due contributions to the family as a daughter of the Bai family.

As long as the King Xiang Group survives, and as long as Bai Fengjiao still has a name and a place in the palace, King Miao's status will be guaranteed.Voyeurs not only have to face the suppression of King Miao, but also consider the powerful military threat in the interior; last year, "General Wulue" Li Wenda taught the rebel forces in Miao Xinjiang an impressive lesson.

... A group of women entered Yao Ji's hall, and the maid brought the stove over to warm their hands and served sweet wine.At this moment, it was suddenly reported that the king of Xiang came to see him, and Bai Fengjiao was overjoyed when she heard that, her thoughts were completely correct, and she could see Zhang Ning here, and there was no sign of intentionally inviting pets.

Bai Fengjiao thought to herself that she was fully prepared to dedicate her body to Zhang Ning.Now that she has accepted the title of concubine, what's the point of keeping her innocence?

I saw a tall figure completely different from a woman appearing at the door, and finally saw a man.Zhang Ning was wearing a gray military uniform, trousers and soap boots, and a dagger hanging from his waist. He looked tall and straight, but his clothes seemed a little thin, and others looked at him coldly.

He was stunned at the door, probably not expecting so many people here today.Immediately, he walked into the room, bowed down first and said: "I have seen the concubine mother."

Yao Ji just nodded with a smile.He stood up straight, and casually patted the snowflakes on his shoulders. When he looked back, he saw a maid was kneeling on the ground, wiping his muddy footprints with a cloth.

"It turns out that everyone is here." Zhang Ning looked back at the women and greeted them kindly.On Tuesday, Niang waited to bow her knees in a dignified manner, and the room suddenly looked like a family of scholarly etiquette.

But everyone ignored him and didn't talk to him. Only Yao Ji talked to him calmly. It was a strange atmosphere.If a group of men surround a woman, the woman must be the center; but a group of women and a man, it is just the opposite, at least on the surface he will be excluded, and the women will suddenly become intimate and sticky.

Yao Ji could only ask about his business affairs. Zhang Ning didn't want to talk about it when he came here, so he had no choice but to say: "The strategy of attacking Nanjing cannot be kept secret. We saw it ten miles away at Daxing Dockyard in Jiujiang. Wait for the artillery to be built." At that time, hundreds of cannons will be manufactured, and I am afraid that the roar of the test runs will be endless day and night, and it will not be possible to hide it from the other side."

"The puppet dynasty is going to deploy heavy troops in the east, and I don't know how long this battle will last. You have left all the concubines in the cold." Yao Ji said with a smile.

Her demeanor is so elegant and dignified, even if it is a joke, she is so decent, and her generosity in front of others gives people a sense of magnanimity.But Zhang Ning couldn't help thinking of the painful and lewd expression she had when she was disheveled.It is the same Yao Ji who can talk freely now without showing any traces, and only she can be so perfect and authentic.

While thinking wildly, Zhang Ning said with the same upright performance: "Mother and concubine just rest assured, this time it is no more embarrassing than the Jiujiang battle, because I set the rules."

"Oh?" Yao Ji looked at him with interest.

Zhang Ning said: "The battlefield is like a game of chess. There is always a rule to determine the winner; but it is different from a game of chess. Whoever decides the rules on the battlefield cannot be agreed in advance. Whoever controls the formulation of the rules controls the initiative." Quan. For example, if the opponent is good at Go and I want to play chess, it will be useless no matter how good he is at Go... In the battle of Nanjing, the key to winning or losing is to control the river, that is, water warfare. The puppet dynasty can only stick to the rules and defend They have no ability to create new tactics, but I can use artillery to replace the old rules with new rules. The puppet government wants to deal with us under the new rules, and it lags behind from the beginning; If they don’t follow our rules, they will be restrained everywhere, and they will find that the original experience on the battlefield is useless, so we don’t follow the original path.”

Zhang Ning's self-confidence made Yao Ji very happy.His ambition gave her vitality, bigger dreams, bigger vision, and made her feel comfortable, which was an experience that Emperor Jianwen could not give her.

Although Bai Fengjiao and the others couldn't fully understand what Zhang Ning said, they could feel the atmosphere in it.The breath of a man is completely different from the leisurely and beautiful feeling of appreciating snow and tasting wine, but a ball of fire that can melt snow.

Bai Fengjiao thought that Zhang Ning's ideas were just inheriting the wisdom of Han culture itself. She was already very interested in inland culture, and she yearned for it for a while, and wanted to learn more profound and far-reaching things through Zhang Ning.There is a wider world here, which is different from the closed frontier... At this moment, she gradually understands herself, and the marriage is not only for the benefit of the family, but also to realize the pursuit.

In a trance, she seemed to have returned to the mountains where she was born.When I was young, I saw a mountain when I went out, and I really wanted to know what was on the other side of the mountain, so I finally had the opportunity to climb to the top of the mountain, but there was another mountain in front of me.This depression is nothingness, but lingering.Until she learned about the outside world from people's mouths, she successively obtained countless books such as "San Zi Jing", "Historical Records", "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" from businessmen.She didn't know if she was the only one who had such a unique idea. Maybe most people cared about food and clothing most, and didn't have time to think about these things.Anyway, she couldn't fall in love with someone like Long Er, and because she read some stories from miscellaneous books, women like White Snake and Ghost Fox met scholars, so the hope in her heart was to meet a scholar...

Before she knew it, the fire was a little hot, and Bai Fengjiao took off the mink fur coat she was wearing. Inside was a high-waisted skirt with a belt tied under her chest.At this moment, she noticed that Zhang Ning was looking over, and she met his eyes without avoiding it.The girls in Miaojiang don't have so many rules, and they can flirt with each other when they see the man they like at the party. Bai Fengjiao has learned a lot of etiquette here, but it is difficult to change her mentality.She felt that Zhang Ning was pleasing to the eye, and there was nothing wrong with making eye contact.

But such a tiny moment has already been noticed by Tuesday's mother.Tuesday's mother suddenly wondered, as far as she knew, Bai Fengjiao hadn't served the bed yet, so why was she flirting with her husband in public?The rouge I found on Zhang Ning's job last time was not something for a maid at all. She just didn't want to annoy Zhang Ning by asking the bottom line... But the doubts in her heart always existed, why did Zhang Ning lie, and who was that woman? ?Could it be Bai Fengjiao?This shameless girl really came from an uneducated barbarian land, and she used such shameless means to please her husband!

Mother on Tuesday endured it for a while, and finally said: "If the lord marries someone else in, he can have an open and honest relationship. Why do you need to be sneaky?"

Yao Ji smiled without saying a word.

Gu Chunhan, on the other hand, said with a smile, "Madam has already obtained something that everyone envies, why don't others quietly share some of the rain and dew?"

Mother on Tuesday was upset when she heard this, thinking she was just a prostitute!But she didn't dare to insult her face to face. This Gu Chunhan is the master of broken pots and smashes. He has no shame at all. He would do all kinds of disgusting words and disgusting things in order to curry favor with Yao Ji. Confronting her head-on would be covered in unpleasant things.

Sure enough, Yao Ji helped Gu Chunhan, and turned to Zhang Ning and said, "Your favorite is the concubine, but you don't have to go there every night, don't you have two wives? Let me hold my grandson earlier. It's a matter of business." If things go on like this, how will you explain to the courtiers? Today I decide, you go to Mrs. Bai's place tonight, will you make her a widow if you marry her?"

Unexpectedly, the imperial concubine could speak so bluntly that even Bai Fengjiao couldn't help but blush a little.
