box of hearts

Chapter 64
Dui Xia knelt on the other side, her red lips parted like buds, "It's the first time you're celebrating the New Year here, I don't know, this is also the secret rule of our whore house. Get up early in the New Year to wash the girls' hair, clean them and clean them." Pour the wine that has been dedicated to Shinto in it, and then pour it out and eat it with the guests five days ago. He will always miss us and will not change jobs for a whole year. Just wait, Mom will definitely ask you to invite guests to come to the door later, okay? Give them this plague wine."

Zhaohua squeezed her nose, feeling sick and weird at the same time.I really saw the second sister Duan in the front move a jar of wine on the altar, poured it into everyone's horses, and then ordered solemnly:
"Diexian, Duixia, Fengqin, you three all know what to do, according to the usual practice in previous years. Zhaohua, you send someone to invite you tomorrow, and let the five young masters and Young Master Kang come and set up a few sets." liquor."

In September of last year, Zhaohua had changed from a "clean lady" to a "hunky lady".The five young masters of the Dai family arranged for her a complete set of gold, silver, jade, ruby, sapphire, and emerald, and silk, silk, silk, satin, yarn, silk, silk, and spinning all year round. , velvet, brocade, small hair, big hair and other clothes, and only [-] silver for the second sister Duan, and lit a big candle.Although Zhaohua is not a perfect body, she only washes the female door with potion water according to the trick taught by Qingtian, and then uses the menstrual blood to get past the test.That night, a pair of red candles on the bedside symbolized the life of a woman from a good family. For this young girl, it was just the beginning of her circulation in the hands of countless men.The five young masters occupy Zhaohua's first night, and they are also quite satisfied. Although there are still many wild bees and butterflies chasing after them, but Zhaohua eats this bowl of rice, and he has to let go of business and entertainment on weekdays. She went, at most scolded a few words, and there was no more fist and kick chaos.It was Kang Guangdao who was beaten up that night. Since he was born out of his mother's womb, how could a child from a rich family have experienced such a useless attitude?I got seriously ill and didn't recover until November.Just when I was able to walk, I walked back to Huai Ya Tang, holding my breath and wanting to spend the night with flowers.He spent a lot of money for the plague, and finally his wish was fulfilled.One of these two is powerful, and the other is rich. With their guardians, their luck is getting better and better day by day.Of course, Second Sister Duan was reluctant to lose any of them, and wanted to take them all under her command.

Sure enough, in the second, third, and fourth days of junior high school, Zhaohua's two big guests came to the door one after another after receiving the invitation, and the other three listed ladies also invited their respective patrons.Huaiya hall is full of music and songs every night, and the lights are lit up.From the fifth day onwards, the courtyard became deserted again. All day long, only the bungalows in the small courtyard were laughing and laughing, and the girls gathered together to gossip.Since Qingtian moved out from the main courtyard, he has lived here. Although the house is smaller, the furnishings are as elegant as before: the partition of plum bamboo inlaid with jade round light shade, the living room is covered with colorful carpets, a wall of miscellaneous cabinets, and a wall of apricot bookshelves. , under the root of the window is a big couch with shadow wood inlaid with aragonite.Diexian and the others lay crookedly on the couch, grabbed some sweets such as fragrant papaya, fragrant cherry, basil nah, ginger silk plum, etc. from the variegated food box on the couch table, and kept feeding them. His mouth was stuffed, and he spit out non-stop words.

"Hey, this new year's "Ruizhu Immortal List" will be released, and our young lady Zhaohua is also on the list. Come, this is a comment, let me read it—"

"Don't read it, hate it, don't read it!"

"Press her, Fengqin, quickly hold down Zhaohua, Diexian, please read, we are all waiting to hear."

"Listen up, gnaw!" Zhaohua's surname is Duan, and he belongs to Huaiyatang. He is good at playing drums and zithers, has a good toothpasting, and is proficient in writing and ink. Comments: The first day is full of flowers, Xiaofeng willows, begonias are about to bloom, and jasmine is about to be released. Playfulness comes from innocence, and both are cute and funny. They are different. They are really fragrant, and their emotions are enough to move people. The poem says: "Yingying is fourteen, she is romantic, and her smile is unresolved." Haha, you tear it, and I will recite it if you tear it. ,'The most charming and naive is too rogue, to learn the sorrow of spring [16]——'"

"You still say you still say? You can be talkative and mean-spirited!"

"You little hoof, my sister kindly congratulates you on the flower list, you don't know what is good or bad. Look at your aggressive appearance, how can you be 'emotional and moving'?"

"You! Hmph, I must tear this shit up."

"Hey, don't tear it up, don't really tear it up, I haven't watched it yet! Sister Xia, please help me, don't let her really tear it up!"

"I'll just tear it apart, sister Qingtian, look at them, they will form a group to play tricks on me!"

……

After saying a few words, you pushed and shoved each other, laughing pinkly and sweating one by one.Qingtian leaned on the first bed where Concubine Yang was drunk, hugged the white cat and looked at them and smiled, "Eat and make trouble before carefully choking, crazy girls."

At night, I lighted the lamp alone, listened to the sound of firecrackers, spread out the rice paper, and copied scriptures.May as well Mu Yun smiled and patted her from behind, "Girl!" She shoved a red velvet brocade box under her eyelids, "The third master sent someone to deliver it."

Inside the box is a copy of the "Heart Sutra", which is about the size of a scripture book, but the outer cover is two pages of pure gold, on which Guanyin sitting on a lotus is engraved, and inside is a whole piece of high-quality Hindustan jade, both front and back are carved in Mrs. Wei's small letters The scriptures are filled with gold shavings, rich and noble, and exquisite workmanship.Mu Yun exclaimed in amazement, Qing Tian Shan smiled bewilderedly, and brushed gently with his hand.She was very grateful that Qi She still thought of her, and it had been almost a full month since the last time we met.In such a festive season, he would naturally accompany his wife and concubine in the palace to caress the pines and gaze at the snow, sit in the flowers and drink the moon, but she didn't feel the slightest bit of loss, she didn't have any expectations in the first place.Where he was, he used the purest and most precious wine to sacrifice to heaven, earth, and the country; where she was, he secretly poured witch wine brewed in women's urinals to prostitutes.This is the Nine Heavens, and the muddy land.And she never imagined for a moment that anyone would reach out to her from the sky. She only hoped that she could use her muddy hands to hold on, get up, and then spend the rest of her life washing her body and mind.

So——Qingtian put back the book of gold and jade—compared to such brilliance, her Heart Sutra should be white paper and black ink: Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, when he walks the deep prajna paramita for a long time, he sees all the five aggregates. Empty, overcome all hardships... There is no hindrance in the heart, no hindrance, no terror, far away from reversing dreams, and Nirvana... The Buddhas of the third age, according to Prajna Paramita, have obtained Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi... Truth reveals truth, Paradise reveals truth, Parasangha reveals truth, Bodhi Sapoha.

One article is full of the next article, and one day is full of the next day, every day, the nights are gradually shortened, and we come to the tip of the cardamom, early February.

The east wind blows, and the flowers on Moshang bloom.Everywhere men can be seen carrying baskets of white ash, and throwing a thread from outside the door directly in front of the water tank at home, in order to lure the dragon back and make spring rain; women buy oily noodles wrapped in colored paper and cook a pot Good water, next a handful of dragon whiskers.And outside of this vibrant secular world, there is another world, within the overlapping vermilion city walls.

In the early spring of the Forbidden City, the most pleasant place is not the imperial garden, but the Ciqing Palace—a big red sandalwood table in the palace.Bundles of clothes are stacked on the table, bright yellow, apricot yellow, bean sprout yellow, crimson purple, pink purple, soot purple, grape green, pear blossom white... full of dragons, phoenixes, rivers, suns and moons, and many flowers: Hydrangeas, water chestnuts, marigolds, brocade flowers, scorpions, red sunflowers, crape myrtle, daphne flowers... are magnificent.

"Hangzhou weaving should have changed people long ago! The materials used in the first few years were old-fashioned and rustic, but this year's batch is very original." The Empress Dowager Xi stretched out her right hand wearing a few colored bead rings, Sternly pointing, "Sister, look, how novel this one is."

The Empress Dowager Wang's finely crafted and handsome face had a dignified smile, like a bud that just broke out on a branch, revealing a shallow message of spring, "It's not bad, especially the agate and pearls on the phoenix tail. Take it, my sister."

"Such a precious material, I'd better keep it for my sister."

"I'm not used to such bright flowers and green willows. Besides, who will you wear it for?" Wang raised her head, and the phoenix in Ling Yun's bun nodded, and then shot out a series of light needles, piercing Xi He's eyebrows.

Since Qi She took the initiative to make peace with Wang Chaezhao, the tension between the Eastern and Western parties has greatly improved, and the relationship with the harem has also eased a lot.Wang doesn't seem to be pointing at Sang and scolding Huai at every turn, so Xi He doesn't know whether her words are careless or have other deep meanings.Just as he was answering, there was a sudden gust of wind:

"Report to the two empress dowagers that the emperor's uncle, the regent, and the concubine will see him."

Every ten days and a half months, all the princes and their wives will always enter the palace to pay respects to the queen mothers of the two palaces, and the order of greetings is naturally the East Palace first.

I saw the Eastern Empress Dowager Wang pull out a handkerchief with five phoenixes flying together from her side, covered her mouth and yawned, "After reading the materials for half a day, I'm very tired, I'm afraid I don't have the energy to deal with it. Sister, please continue Concubine, go to sit with you. She came out of the Zhan family with you. She is a cousin within five clothes. You can talk a lot. I thank her for her kindness. You just picked the material. I will send it later. to your palace."

Yi Xihe was eager to meet alone, so she resigned from the Wang family, and met Qi She's second concubine Zhan family in the main hall when she came out: dressed in auspicious clothes, wearing a phoenix crown, and wearing a colorful jade ribbon. Everyone Fengfan.After receiving half a gift from her, Xi He hurriedly asked the maid to hold her hand, "You are my cousin, we should be more intimate, and we don't have to be so rigid about formalities." The Compassionate Ning Palace came.

After entering the palace room of the Compassionate Ning Palace, Xi He once again ordered to exempt Zhan from the big gift of kowtowing, and gave him a seat and tea, and talked softly.Like dust in the sky, after drifting east and west, the dust finally settles.

"Recently, the third master seems to be very busy?" Xi He lowered his eyes and sipped his tea, as if he was very careless.
