The Times Spent in Pretense

The palace test was about to take place, and Hua Liuli came home with a big bag.

Watching the next man lift out several big boxes from his sister's carriage, Hua Changkong couldn't help making fun: "Every time you enter the palace, are you going to evacuate the Queen Mother's private storage?"

"How to say it, there is a saying called elders, do not dare to say it, the queen mother gave me, of course I have to take it back." Hua Liuli instructed the next person to carry a box to Huachangkong courtyard, "This is The gift from His Royal Highness the Prince gave you Huiyuan in the exam, and I brought it back with you."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Hua Changkong arched her hand in the direction of the palace. "It seems that you are getting along well with His Royal Highness. Your Royal Highness even gave me a gift to bring you back."

"I have eaten and drank in the Donggong recently, and my face has become a little fat." Hua Liuli rubbed his cheeks and rubbed his white and tender face with red marks. "Don't call me for lunch, I will eat out."

"What did you do when you first came back?" Hua Changkong commanded the men to lift things while caring about her sister. "You are not in bad health, are you afraid of getting sick when you walk around?

Hua Liuli glanced at Hua Changkong: "Third Brother, you still read well."

"Little girl, go out and have fun." Hua Changkong reached out and poked Hua Liuli's forehead. "Are you scheduled?"

"Jiamin County mainly visited Ms. Du, and I also had a little friendship with Ms. Du, so let's go and have a look together." Hua Liuli let iris and other maids bring a gift that had been prepared for a long time, "I heard that Ms. Du has Du too The teacher is very educated, and Mrs. Du is seriously ill. She must be uncomfortable."

Hua Changkong nodded: "Then be careful on your way."

Hualili went back to the house and changed her plain clothes. When she went out to see Jiamin, she was waiting outside the gate of Huajia: "How come you are so fast?"

"Is the action fast?" Jia Min took Hualili to the carriage, "Go."

In these days when the two were alone in Shoukang Palace, they often discussed together what kind of words are good-looking, and went fishing in the imperial garden. The relationship was quite harmonious.

"Can't you get along with Miss Du?" Hua Liuli asked. "I didn't expect you to take the initiative to visit her."

"Disagreeable personality is not a hatred." Jia Min said, "My cousin, at the age of three or four, reads with a book, and when he is older, the book does not leave, and he has a special sense of morality and justice. If she did something wrong, she could stare at us for half an hour, who could bear this."

"Except for this, she usually makes us cousins ​​and cousins ​​do anything. We are annoying and annoying her, but we don't want her to get out in a sad mood." Jia Min frowned, "Sister Du and I My aunt and uncle are not close. If Mrs. Du really left, I'm afraid she can't bear it."

Hua Liuli became silent. Her grandfather was seriously injured on the battlefield in her early years, and she died of illness very early. Her grandmother also died of illness early. She does not know how her grandchildren and grandparents get along, but she can understand that important people are about to die. , But I feel powerless.

Seeing her silence, Jia Min comforted: "The two of us are juniors and girls, and we won't enter Du Taishi's room."

"I didn't think about this." Hua Liuli smiled and shook her head, "Just remembering a little bit of the past."

Jia Min saw Hua Liuli with a depressed expression, and her mouth was faster than her brain: "What's the matter?"

After asking, I regretted it a little. This is not a good thing. Why can't she control her mouth?

"Several years ago, there was an uncle in the barracks who sang particularly well. Every time when Mid-Autumn Festival or New Year's Eve, when everyone got together, they would coax him to sing in two voices." Hua Liuli said, "Uncle said, they Erlang in his hometown will sing, and when he meets the girl he loves, he wants to use his singing to beg him."

"Then...has he met the girl you love now?"

"Before he joined the barracks, there was already a favorite girl. The girl said that when the army repulsed the Jinbo thieves, he married him." Hua Liuli turned his head and looked at the gems inlaid on the carriage. Jin won, but the girl did not wait for him to go back."

"he……"

"He fled to kill several children in order to cover several children. When the Jiajiajun found his body, he didn't have a good spot on him." Hua Liuli sighed, "Many things in the world can be repeated, only There is only one life."

"If you die, you really have nothing."

Jia Min was silent, and her throat was a little uncomfortable. She looked at Hua Liuli and didn't dare to ask her. How many such stories would happen in the barracks every day?

She seemed to be able to understand why Dad, who only knows how to enjoy extravagant enjoyment, saved a lot of food after escorting Qinghanzhou once.

Some scenes only know how shocking they are when they are seen with their own eyes.

When she arrived at the Du's house, Jia Min was still a little slow. She walked ahead and gave Baitie to the porter, and soon the lady-in-law bowed and invited the two to enter.

As soon as he stepped into the Du family, Hua Liuli felt a bit dull. The air seemed to be surrounded by a faint bitter medicine, and the servant's subordinates looked dignified and did not see a half smile.

It was Mrs. Du, who looked haggardly, and heard that the two lords came to visit her daughter. Mrs. Du smiled bitterly: "Thanks to the two lords for their concern. The girl was infected with the wind the other day and stayed in bed. Please The two lords will come back later."

"Aunt, Sister Du has always been in good health, how could she be so sick?" Jia Min stood up and said, "I'll go see her."

"Jiamin County Lord." Mrs. Du's Yao called Jiamin, "You will go after Xiuying is better, I'm afraid she will be ill for you."

Jia Min froze, turned to glance at Liuli, and instantly understood what her aunt was worried about.

Hua Liuli's weak body is well known in Beijing. If something really goes wrong, the Du family cannot afford it.She pursed her lips and said to Mrs. Du: "Aunt, I'll go in and look back."

Seeing that Hua Liuli didn't mean to go in, Madam Du was relieved.She looked at Hua Liuli tenderly: "When General Wei came last time, she also talked to you about everything. Are you still used to these days when you come to Beijing?"

"Everything is fine." Hua Liuli asked Du Xiuying's condition again, and learned that it was ordinary wind chill, so she was relieved.

Mrs. Du is a gentle person. Although she is not familiar with Hua Liuli, she has always been able to find topics and did not cool down the atmosphere in the room.

"Ma'am." A maid wearing a turquoise blouse walked in and blessed her body: "The master you invited is here."

Mrs. Du glanced at Hua Liuli, and Hua Liuli immediately said: "There are noble guests, the juniors and Miss Du are friends, and please please your wife."

"It's rude." Mrs. Du smiled apologetically at Hua Liuli and got up to meet the outside.

Soon Mrs. Du came in to welcome a Taoist, and behind the Taoist were two Daotongs. They did not seem to be stained with dust, but they had a taste of superiors.

"Master of Fushou County." The Taoist saw Hua Liuli and paid a Taoist ceremony to her.

"Good man." Hua Liuli returned a salute.

"Real people know Fushou County Master?" Mrs. Du didn't expect that Hua Liuli even knew the most famous Qinghui real people in Beijing.

"The poor Dao and the Lord Fushou have a relationship in Taoism." Qinghui sat down on the chair and turned to Mrs. Du: "Ma'am, the poor Dao is a person outside the square, there is no power to recover from death, and there is no cure for the disease. The law, the wife is too much to lift the poor."

I have heard that Taoists use fake pills to deceive people to live forever. I have also seen Taoists saying that they can pinch would be a half fairy. Direct and honest Taoist like Qinghui Taoist, I don’t know what to do for a while. Just do it.

Hua Liuli glanced at Mrs. Du, feeling that the expression on her face was stiff.

"Life and death are fatal, and wealth is in the sky." Qinghui lively shook his head. "Teacher Du is a man of study, and has always agreed with the saying of the poor."

Mrs. Du was stunned for a long while before saying: "Real people, really there is no way?"

Qinghui real person shook his head: "Ma'am, although the method of prolonging life and prosperity can't be poor, but the gossip feng shui knows something. If you don't mind, the poor way can take a look for your government."

"There will be real people." Probably because Qinghui real people are too honest, Mrs. Du has more trust in them.

"Then start now?" Qing Hui looked at Hua Liuli, "Sovereign, please join us."

"Real person, I am an outsider, isn't it wrong?" Although Hualili didn't believe in these things, she knew they were inconvenient for outsiders.

"If other people are naturally wrong, but the master is different from others." Qing Hui smiled and got up and made a gesture of asking to Hua Liuli.

"True person, please forgive me for being rude. Why is Lord Fushou different from others?" Although Madam Du was very tired these days, her curiosity was still there.

"Because the master of the county has a relationship with me." Qing Hui smiled mysteriously.

Hua Liuli: "..."

Thank you, bother, leave.

Seeing Hua Liuli's face refused, Qinghui chuckled aloud, and the wide sleeve robe was automatic without wind, as if a fairy came down from the sky: "The poor said, laughing, the master does not have to worry about it, please."

Hua Liuli rubbed her lips and said, "Real people are really humorous."

Qinghui did not move around the Du family, but took the architectural drawings of the Du Mansion and gave a few words.

The main idea is what kind of tree is planted here, the flowers there can't be needed, and there are two more windows in the box.Hualioli held her chin and listened boredly, waiting for Jiamin to come out.

I don’t know what the next man said to Mrs. Du, and Mrs. Du apologized with regret: "Please sit down with the real master for a while, and I will come as soon as I go."

"Mrs. Please feel free." Qinghui took a cup of tea and gently took a sip. After Mrs. Du lifted the curtain and left, he said to the flower Liuli who was sitting on the opposite side of the seat: "The master of the county is credible?"

"Real person, what does this mean?" Hua Liuli asked with a smile.

"Everyone's fate is doomed after birth, only the county governor is different. Your life order is not fixed, and it can even affect other people around you." Qing Hui laughed, "If a person like the county master is dedicated, There must be a big thing in monasticism."

"Real person, I heard that when a person is lying, he always uses a small gesture to cover up." Hua Liuli smiled. "Just a few words, the real person shaved five or six times with the tea cup cover."

Qing Hui was stunned, and then laughed out loud: "The master is worthy of the daughters of the two generals, and has good eyesight."

After being dismantled by Hua Liuli, Qinghui no longer pretended to be mysterious. He put down his tea cup and smiled at Hua Liuli: "The poor Dao thought that the county master would like others to praise you for your extraordinary history."

"A good person doesn't do it. What am I impersonating?" Hua Liuli converged with a smile on his face. "Doctor uses this kind of words to spy on me, what exactly do he want to do?"

Qinghui stood up with a smile, saluting at Hualili: "Please also ask the master to forgive sins, and the poor way is not malicious."

Hua Liuli said nothing, she heard footsteps from the hallway outside, she took out her handkerchief and covered her mouth with a few coughs, she saw Mrs. Du coming in with a box, looking at her posture, it seemed that it was for Qinghui Specially prepared gift.

Hua Liuli stood up and apologized to Mrs. Du: "Ma'am, it was interesting to see a pomegranate tree in the yard when the junior came in. I want to go out and ask my wife to forgive the junior for being rude."

"The master of the county is polite, your mother and I are old acquaintances, you are here only as your own home." Mrs. Du smiled and asked the maid to take Hualili out.

She also knew in her heart that there was nothing to see in the pomegranate tree. Hualili just found a reason to go out and let her talk to the real person of Qinghui.

It was getting warmer, and wearing a spring shirt standing in the sun turned a little hot.Hua Liuli reached out to cover the sun above her head and moved herself to the shade of the tree.

In her view, the Du family is quite interesting. Master Tai is just upset all his life, and his granddaughter has his legacy.But Mrs. Du believed in the worship of God, and even invited the Taoist to see Doctor Du.

Fortunately, Qinghui is not a kind of fake Taoist who only cares about cheating money, otherwise it can make a lot of things.

After a while, Jia Min came back, her eyes were red, and she looked like she was crying.

"Are you all right?" Hua Liuli walked over.

"It's okay." Jia Min sniffed her nose. "Sister Du and I mentioned that you were here too. She just drove me away and asked me to come to you in the sun for a while, so as not to get sick. I gave it to you."

Speaking of which, she glanced at Hua Liuli faintly: "Fortunately you are a woman, otherwise I have to suspect that Sister Du is interesting to you."

Before she went out to play with other sisters, Du Xiuying always criticized together.Last time I saw her and Hua Liuli outside Lefang, Du Xiuying felt that she was wearing a bad flower Liuli.

She was obviously sick, and heard that Hua Liuli was with her, and she sat up from the bed abruptly. Hua Liuli was weak in her words and still young, so she should not bully others.

Who is bullying?

Who is bullying?!

Jia Min didn't know whether she was crying sadly, or was crying angrily.

She stayed with Hua Liuli on the left and right, and she never took advantage of it.She did all the bad things, only the flower Liuli was a little white lotus that was in full bloom, innocent, helpless and in need, still the kind with fragrance.

Qinghui and Jiamin came to the yard almost at the front and back. He was still the appearance of an expert, but there was an extra wooden box in Daotong's hand.Seeing Hua Liuli standing under the shade of a tree, he stopped and turned to walk toward Hua Liuli: "Master Fushou County, there will be a congregation tomorrow contempt, invite the Lord to come to participate."

"Qinghui real person?!" Jia Min was a little shocked to see Qinghui, "Good person."

"Good girl." Qinghui returned a polite ceremony.

"I don't know tomorrow's meeting, can I come?" Jia Min was excited.

Qinghui glanced at Hua Liuli: "The girl is a friend of Lord Fushou County. If the Lord Fushou County is willing to come, the girl can walk with the Lord."

Hua Liuli: "..."

Taoist, how much do you have in mind for me to join Daomen?

"Please rest assured that we will come on time." Jia Min sent away the Qinghui real person, said to Hua Liuli, "That's Qinghui real person, our most famous Da Jin leader, the Fa conference he presided over only invited people who are interested. , You must go tomorrow, I’ll be tied if I don’t."

"Are you sure?" Hua Liuli raised her eyebrows.

"Just go." Jia Min grabbed Hua Liuli's sleeve. "You are the moon, you are the flower, you are our first beauty in the Jin Dynasty, I called your sister, you take me, can't you?"

Getting along for many days has made Jia Min forget the fear when Hualili raised his sword and cut people.

"Come on." Hua Liuli sighed, "You will pick me up tomorrow."

"Good." Jia Min took Hualili to say goodbye to Mrs. Du. After the two of them got on the carriage, she continued to tell Hualili about the greatness of Qinghui.

"Even if the princess invites him, he doesn't necessarily show up. This time, if you can personally invite you to attend the puja, you can steal the music."

"When my mother and I went to the Qinghui Taoist Temple for incense, there were no other pilgrims in Taoist Temple. There was no one on the road to Taoist Temple." Hua Liuli doubted that Jiamin was deliberately boasting and coaxing the Qinghui real people. Status.

"Are you going on the 16th day of the first month?" Jia Min looked at Hua Liuli suspiciously. She suddenly remembered that there were rumors of two days of prince and Hua Liuli in her womb, but this rumor soon Disappeared, she almost forgot about it.

Seeing Hua Liuli nodded, Jia Min stunned and said, "Dare to go to Taoist Temple on the 16th of the first lunar month to worship incense.

Hua Liuli felt that this was a bit wrong, she didn't go?

"You grew up in the border gate, and you don't know these taboos in the capital. Do you know what day of the day to honor the Queen?"

Hua Liuli shook his head.

"The 16th of the first month." Jia Min sighed, "At the time of the concubine's death, the three princes were still very small, and His Majesty had not named him the prince. Later, the three princes were established as princes, and Her Majesty chased the prince's birth mother Hui Fei as the concubine queen. Over the years, in order to commemorate the birth mother, the prince will light a blessing lamp for her in the Taoist temple every year on the 16th of the first lunar month, praying for her future life to be trouble-free and happy."

"After the fifteenth year of the prince, often officials or girls pretend to have a chance encounter with the prince, causing the prince to be furious. Of the mold."

"Do you mean that the blessing lantern in Taoist temple was ordered by His Royal Highness Prince for the congratulation to the dead queen?" Hua Liuli's expression became very strange.

"Who else could it be?" Jia Min rolled his eyes. "His Royal Highness does not believe in Gods and Buddhas. He only broke his usual habit in respect of the Queen. Don't go out and chew these words. The prince knew that I was talking about his gossip behind my back, and I was finished."

"Relax, I won't mention this to others." Hua Liuli couldn't help but refute, "But His Royal Highness is not a vengeful person, even if he knows what you said, what can you do, don't talk about it Devilish."

Jia Min: "I..."

Jiamin swallowed her dissatisfaction with the serious look of Shanghua Liuli, but she really wanted to growl. Where is the prince like a demon?

The biggest joke in the world is that His Royal Highness has no revenge.

It's him, he never keeps these things in his heart, because he keeps everything in his small books.

"Okay." Jia Min took a deep breath, "You look good, you say everything right, as long as you take me to the Fa tomorrow, everything is easy to say."

Her Yao Jiamin, finally tormented by Hua Liuli's spirit, finally learned to bend and stretch.

In Chenyang Palace, Emperor Changlong looked at his son: "Let's say, why don't you go up tomorrow?"

"There will be a puja in the Taoist Temple of the True Man of Tomorrow, and the son wants to light a longevity lamp for you." Prince Gongtei said, "Pray that the gods of heaven will bless your father and mother.

"Tell me the truth." Emperor Changlong threw down his pen with a straight face, facing the pile of uneasy sons every day, and still living ten thousand years old.

"The son-in-law just wants to go out and see. I heard that your future daughter-in-law will also go." The crown prince said shamelessly, "As the saying goes, you should start your family and then set up a business. You must always make your son a family."

He can't do anything if he can't marry his favorite girl.

Emperor Changlong stared at the crown prince for several breaths before he gritted his teeth and said: "When you have the ability to pursue other girls, let's talk about the daughter-in-law."

At that time, he just teased Wei Mingyue in words, she broke a stone bench in front of her face, and now her son is staring at her daughter, do not know if she will break the royal case on the spot?

Children are debts.

Emperor Changlong waved his hands annoyingly: "Come and go, don't you bother me."

"Children retired." The prince smirked out of the Chenyang Palace, and by the way took several silver tickets in the private storehouse of Emperor Changlong.

The emperor without his son is not perfect.

"Sister, what's the matter with you?" Hua Changkong came out of the study and saw her sister sitting in the yard, looking up at the moon in the sky in a daze, worrying, "Got wrong today?"

Hua Liuli turned back staring at him staringly: "Third Brother, you used to be right. It is not good for the brain to read too much."

"What's wrong with this?" Seeing Hua Liuli said so seriously, Hua Changkong was startled. He walked to Hua Liuli and sat down, "Come, and tell Sange."

"Alas." Hua Liuli sighed, but didn't speak.

She remembered the night of the Lantern Festival in Shangyuan, and the Prince of Depression in Taoist Temple the next day.

Maybe there is no favorite girl, only a child who lost his mother at an early age, holding his nostalgia for his mother, standing on the high observation tower on the busy night of everyone, blowing the cold night wind, watching lonely The joy and reunion of others.

Hualili felt distressed when he thought of the little prince, wrapped in thick clothes, standing on the observation tower in the cold wind and desperately standing on his feet to see the lanterns and hustle and bustle outside the palace.

She sighed and said to Hua Changkong: "Third Brother, those words in my house, you can help me deal with them."

After reading a lot of books, I thought I had seen through the grievances and grievances.

The world's sorrows and joys are not connected, and the trajectory of life is different.

"In the past, you have to secretly read a book if you were fined. How do you figure it out now?" Hua Changkong was even more afraid.

"I think I should be better to the prince." Hua Liuli nodded, "I want to be better."

"Huh?" Hua Changkong looked blank, what does this have to do with the prince?

He looked at the serious little girl and asked tremblingly, "Little girl, don't you plan to raise your face?"
