Slave to Queen: One Night Bride

Chapter 296
When Hua Rong met her for the first time, it was she who was crying on the street, if she hadn't encountered great trouble, how could this be happening?She admired this well-known poet very much, and she didn't beat around the bush, and said sincerely: "Although it is the first time, Hua Rong has long admired the layman's literary talent. Seeing the layman crying sadly today, she must have something to worry about. You might as well say Come and listen, if you can do your best, my husband and wife will never stand still..."

Li Yi'an let out a long sigh before speaking.

It turned out that after the Jingkang catastrophe, she fled south with her husband.Her husband is a master of gold and stone. The couple collected many gold and stone calligraphy and paintings, and their love surpassed their lives.When he fled, he also took this batch of calligraphy and paintings and put them in dozens of bags.Later, when her husband died of illness, she kept the calligraphy and paintings alone, and finally moved to Lin'an.

After arriving in Lin'an, many local celebrities came to visit her because of her reputation, and one of them even borrowed a room for her to live in temporarily, which was barely enough to get by.Later, a small local official named Zhang Ruzhou paid a special visit to her, talked about calligraphy and painting with her, and cared for her.Soon, he proposed to her.Li Yi'an was a woman who was nearly fifty at the time, so she had to agree to marry Zhang Ruzhou in order to make a living.After marriage, the husband and wife live in peace and harmony.But soon, Li Yi'an realized that something was wrong, because his collection of paintings and calligraphy was decreasing day by day, and many precious ancient books disappeared.

She questioned Zhang Ruzhou, Zhang Ruzhou hesitated, had no choice but to admit that she stole and bribed Wang Jixian, the most favored medical officer by the emperor, in order to get good words from him in front of the emperor, so that she could be promoted and rich.

Only then did Li Yi'an realize that he had fallen into the hands of the white-eyed wolf.But at this time Zhang Ruzhou was seen through when he met him, and he simply showed his fierce face, saying that what Li Yi'an owned was his own, and he blatantly took it to honor Wang Jixian.

Li Yi'an and her deceased husband desperately protected these cultural relics and went south, so naturally they couldn't let it be revealed like this. After a little argument, Zhang Ruzhou went so far as to beat her several times.Li Yi'an had no choice but to remember that he had a cousin, Wang Junhua, who was Qin Hui's wife...

When Hua Rong heard the name "Wang Junhua", she was startled, thinking to herself, the world is really small, and feels stuffy at the same time, what kind of character Li Yi'an has such a brazen cousin.She didn't interrupt Li Yi'an's narration, but just listened to her quietly.

At this time, Qin Hui was already a second-rank member of the imperial court, so it was no problem to deal with Zhang Ruzhou.But Li Yi'an naturally didn't know that Wang Junhua and his wife were trying to curry favor with Wang Jixian, so how could they offend him?Then in every possible way to shirk.In desperation, it was another celebrity who saw the scars on Li Yi'an's body, couldn't bear the bullying of a generation of talented women, and was so gentle, so he stepped forward, managed the government, and sentenced her to divorce Zhang Ruzhou.

After the divorce, Li Yi'an lived in a hostel and had nowhere to go, but just the day before yesterday, the medical officer Wang Jixian even sent a servant to put down 50 taels of gold, saying that he would buy all her calligraphy and paintings, no matter whether he agreed or not, they would come and move them all in three days. Walk.

Even if the store sympathized with Li Yi'an, who would dare to offend the powerful medical officer Wang Jixian?Li Yi'an had no choice but to go out to visit local celebrities for help this day, but no one dared to come forward, so Hua Rong saw her walking alone in the street, crying sadly...

As soon as she finished speaking, before Yue Pengju could speak, Hua Rong was so angry that he almost burst into flames: "Wang Jixian, a mere medical officer, dares to bully famous people like this, waiting for me to kill him..."

Knowing his wife's mood, Yue Pengju held his hand lightly. Although his heart was heavy, he said softly, "I have a way to deal with Wang Jixian."

Hua Rong asked: "What way?"

He smiled slightly, and said to Li Yi'an: "You don't need to be afraid, and you don't need to go back to the inn. I will order a few soldiers to disguise themselves to guard the inn tonight. Tomorrow, I will act."

Seeing that these two people had no relatives or reason with him, Li Yi'an was very moved to take on such a difficult task immediately, and saluted and said, "Thank you both."

Hua Rong helped her up, but felt that her body was trembling slightly, her palms were cold, and said softly: "The layman has been haggard and toiled these days, go and rest first..."

Li Yi'an was excited at this time, but he saw that there were paper and ink on the table next to him, which was originally written by Yue Pengju at home.There are only four big characters on it:
Give me back
She looked it over carefully, but felt that it was so majestic and overwhelming that it was impossible for a great husband with a big heart to write such words.

Her heart was surging, and she immediately picked up a pen and dipped it in ink, and wrote on the white paper laid out with a swipe:
Life as a master

Death is also a ghost

Si Xiang Yu

Refused to cross Jiangdong

............................................................

Hua Rong rubbed the ink for her, but when she finished writing with a pen, heartily, with endless vicissitudes and indignation, she felt a wave of heat rushing into her eyes.But seeing Yue Pengju was also on the side, watching intently, his face was never more excited than before.

Li Yi'an put down his pen, Hua Rong fixed the four corners with a paperweight, and then took a closer look, only exclaimed, speechless.It is said that Li Yi'an is extremely talented, a generation of poets, and this poem is even more majestic and heroic, with an upright and majestic spirit, which penetrates the back of the paper.

The two met many literati in the court, and Hua Rong also accompanied the great scholar Yu Wenxuzhong to the Kingdom of Jin, but seeing these talented scholars who were born as Jinshi in this dynasty, none of them can match Li Yi'an.

Seeing Hua Rong's gaze, Li Yi'an has been wandering for a long time, and has rarely seen such sincere appreciation and admiration, especially when such gaze comes from a young woman.She looked at Hua Rong, smiled and said, "Mrs. Yue, this poem is for you."

Hua Rong raised his head and said joyfully, "Really, did you really give it to me?"

Because of joy, her eyeballs were black and bright, with an extremely rare innocence. Li Yian looked at her, as if looking at a close nephew, thinking, the fate between people is really strange.She is superior to the world, and most women in the world are restricted by their families, husbands and children, embroidery and textiles are the focus of their lives.Now, seeing Hua Rong carrying arrows on his back, appreciating calligraphy, and Yue Pengju's harmony, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, if it wasn't for his late husband's early death, he would be so happy and happy.

After writing these few sentences, Li Yi'an was exhausted to the extreme, Hua Rong immediately helped her up to a clean and tidy room.She helped Li Yi'an to lie down, but saw that the old woman in her fifties, because of her anxiety, her life was like a faded yellow flower, and she was like an ancient old man.

Li Yi'an has been running around for a long time, and now his spirit is relaxed, but seeing the woman in front of the bed is gentle and filial, like a child, he can't help crying and sighing: "I am lonely, how good it would be to have such a daughter by my side?"

It was only then that Hua Rong knew that this generation of talented women had never had children, had no children, and was always alone. At first, she thought her children were lost in the war.

It turns out that such a great poet who is famous all over the world also sighs like this.

It was this sigh that made Hua Rong think about his affairs and Lu Wenlong's departure.Sudden anxiety and sadness.But at this time, she couldn't reveal her feelings to anyone at all, for fear of adding to Li Yi'an's sadness, she just smiled and said softly: "If you don't give up, you can treat me as your daughter."

Li Yi'an's eyes lit up, but he was extremely tired and couldn't hold on any longer, and fell on the bed with a terrified expression.

Hua Rong helped her fix the quilt, and said softly: "Go to bed early, don't worry, everything will be fine." Like serving her mother, she covered her whole body, put a cup of hot tea on her bedside, and finally Close the door, turn around and go out.

When she returned to the bedroom, she saw Yue Pengju sitting next to him, his face full of thought.

Only then did she let out a long breath, and cursed in a low voice: "Wang Jixian is just a wandering doctor who treats Zhao Deji's impotence, how dare he bully others so much..." It can be seen that if Zhao Deji hadn't been favored and indulged, how could he dare to do so?

Hua Rong looked at her husband and asked, "Pengju, are you really sure about tomorrow? If not, I'll find another way..."

Yue Pengju shook his head, and said softly, "Since I'm Layman Yi'an, how dare I speak falsehoods?"

When Hua Rong heard what he said, his brows slowly relaxed, and he happily took his hand: "Tomorrow, we will act like this."

The second day was a warm day. After the beginning of spring, the sunshine in the south had already warmed up a bit, and the West Lake was full of people.In a gorgeous painting boat, medical officer Wang Jixian came as scheduled.

This time, he came to the banquet at the invitation of Yue Pengju.

Wang Jixian made great contributions to the diagnosis and treatment of Zhao Deji's impotence. Strange to say, as long as Zhao Deji changed doctors, he would never take any medicine. As time passed, he couldn't do without Wang Jixian for a day.Once, when he was drunk, he put his arms around a court lady and said triumphantly: "Wang Jixian is my Si Ming (Si Ming is the god in charge of people's life)." This was heard by the eunuchs and maidservants serving outside. , It spread like wildfire, because Wang Jixian was ranked eighth, so he was nicknamed "The Eighth Commander of the King".Here, we can also see the extent to which Wang Jixian was favored.

Wang Jixian naturally knew his weight in the emperor's mind, and he deliberately win over the eunuchs in the palace.Relying on his status, he usually doesn't even look down on officials with a higher rank than himself, and he directly makes jokes about some generals such as Zhang Jun.But for Yue Pengju's invitation, he was not only surprised, but also happy to associate with this hero of Qin Wang, because at least they had met each other a few times.

When he came to the boat, he saw the beautiful painting boat and thought to himself, Yue Pengju and his wife came from a simple and unpretentious life, what are they doing today?
Yue Pengju stood at the bow of the boat and greeted him warmly upon seeing him. Wang Jixian also politely said according to his rank: "Your Majesty has met Yue Xianggong."

The two were polite, Wang Jixian went in, only to see that Hua Rong was also inside, enthusiastically arranging fruits and vegetables, and there was a bottle of high-quality Jinbo wine on the table.

Hua Rong poured three cups himself, and said with a smile, "Master Wang, please."

Wang Jixian was suspicious, and suddenly thought, could it be that these two people came here to ask for a son?

He drank three cups, Hua Rong smiled and took out 100 taels of gold: "My lord, it's a small thing, it's not a respect."

According to the currency unit at that time, 100 taels of gold was equivalent to 2500 guan, which was already a considerable amount of money.Naturally, Wang Jixian received much more property than this, but when he thought that it was a gift from Yue Pengju's wife, he was extremely surprised, and hurriedly said: "You will not be rewarded for no merit."

Yue Pengju also laughed and said, "Master Wang, there is no need to decline."

Wang Jixian still didn't understand why, so Hua Rong toasted him again, and then slowly said: "My family is a distant relative with Lay Yi An. It's not easy for her, she is lonely and wandering, please forgive me..."

When Wang Jixian arrived at this time, he had fully understood the meaning of the 100 taels of gold, and couldn't help blushing, but Weiwei said: "Please rest assured, Mr. Yue and Mrs. Guo, I will take care of it."

Hua Rong toasted him a few more glasses, Wang Jixian ate and drank for a while, and looked for an opportunity to say goodbye. Under Hua Rong's insistence, he naturally had to take away the 100 taels of gold.

The two breathed a sigh of relief when they saw his figure completely disappear surrounded by servants.
