The old lady is reborn

Huaiyuan did not arrive yesterday, so early this morning Song Ying asked six flying eagles and Wu'er to take some people to Shili Pavilion in the suburbs to wait and pick him up for her.

Wu Er smiled and said, "If he doesn't arrive today, we will stay at the inn in Shili Pavilion until he is picked up."

Song Ying also smiled and said, "That's good, it saves us from going back and forth."

But I was still worried about him. In the evening, Wu'er sent me a message saying that he didn't come today.

When Song Ying was disappointed, she saw Rong Huaian returning home in a depressed mood. After greeting his mother and bowing, he went back to his own yard.

Song Ying signaled the servant who followed him to stay and asked, "What happened?"

The servant said, "Madam, our master was scolded outside today."

Song Ying asked, "What's going on?"

The servant Mu Feng said: "My master took me and two flying eagles to see the sick teacher first.

On the way back, we went to Yufenglou for dinner. Halfway through the meal, a woman at the next table and a man at another table started arguing.

The woman cursed the man for being a coward, a traitor, and a fickle-minded person, and a long list of insults.

The man was speechless at first, but then he said a lot of things about the woman, such as bullying, erratic behavior, and hot temper.

The quarrel between these two people was also interesting. They both sat at their own tables, eating and drinking as usual, and the cursing was not loud, but slow and steady, as if they were talking to themselves.

Mu Feng listened and watched for a long time before he realized that the two people knew each other and were arguing.

Later, for some reason, everyone on this floor of Yufeng Building left quietly. Some ate quickly and paid the bill, some took the food away, or they went upstairs and went down again.

Mu Feng felt something was wrong, so he told his grandfather, "Something seems to be wrong. Why don't we leave?"

Grandpa said the eight-treasure duck hasn’t been served yet, so we won’t leave.

The four of us didn't leave.

Later, the man left. The woman saw him escorting another girl away, and she kept holding it in. She probably cried after the man went downstairs, so she burst into tears.

The Eight Treasure Duck to our table was brought up stealthily by a waiter.

When the woman saw the food being served, she turned around and saw our table, as if she didn't expect there were four people here.

The waiter who served the food went downstairs in a flash. "Madam, you didn't see it, he ran so fast."

Then the four of us and the three people at the girls' table just stared at each other for a while.

Our grandfather started eating first and told us to eat it while it’s hot.

Then, for some reason, the woman suddenly became very angry and turned around and rushed towards me.

Mu Feng and the two Flying Eagles were obviously servants and guards, and the woman was scolding me.

But Mu Feng didn’t understand what he was saying.”

Song Ying thought this was a bit strange. The two flying eagles seemed to know something about it, so he said to Mu Feng, "Go down first."

Then he asked the two flying eagles, "Who is that woman?"

Feiying said, "Princess Anyang."

Song Ying didn't know whether to laugh or cry after hearing this, and thought: No wonder. Then he asked, "Is that man Zhao Bin?"

The two Eagles nodded in agreement.

Song Ying asked them to go down and rest.

Princess Anyang is the daughter of the late emperor and is twenty-nine years old this year.

At that time, the sixteen-year-old Princess Anyang and the eighteen-year-old Zhao Bin from General Zhao's mansion were in love with each other.

But to be honest, General Zhao’s Mansion was actually chosen from the imperial concubine’s family with great difficulty to be supported by the late emperor who wanted to protect the imperial concubine.

In fact, it is not the real imperial concubine's family, but a distant branch.

Princess Anyang's mother, Concubine Yang, died at the hands of the Imperial Concubine because of a trivial matter.

Therefore, Princess Anyang's uncle, Concubine Yang's brother, and the Minister of Personnel Yang Xiaobin strongly opposed this marriage.

Although the current emperor has not expressed his opinion, he is probably hesitant in his heart.

The year Concubine Yang left, Princess Anyang was only two years old. When the late emperor passed away, Princess Anyang was only nine years old. Anyang grew up in the late empress's palace.

After the death of the late emperor and the imperial concubine, General Zhao's mansion was in a rather awkward situation.

In fact, they are not closely related to the imperial concubine, but they did make their fortune because of her.

He is also naturally regarded as one of the Nine Kings.

After Zhao Bin knew the attitude of the Yang family, the 18-year-old Zhao Bin went to the border and served in the army for eight years. When he left, he said to Princess Anyang: "Please wait for me to return."

Princess Anyang refused to get married and waited from the age of sixteen until she was twenty-four.

After Zhao Bin came back, he had become a general in the army, and could also be called General Zhao.

Anyang has also moved out of the palace and established his own government.

However, Yang Xiaobin had a deep relationship with his elder sister, Yang Concubine. Whenever he thought of his elder sister's tragic death, he would tremble with grief. He claimed that if Anyang wanted to turn his enemies into relatives, he would die with the people in General Zhao's mansion even if it cost him his life.

The two persisted for another three years. When Princess Anyang was 27 years old, the 29-year-old Zhao Bin got married.

Princess Anyang was not told anything beforehand and she refused to believe it. She went to Zhao's house in person to see Zhao Bin get married.

After returning to the princess's mansion, he fell seriously ill and almost lost his life. It took him half a year to recover.

Judging from the description just now, the person Zhao Bin brought with him should be his wife, but it was a bit strange that Zhao Bin scolded Princess Anyang for bullying others by taking advantage of her power. In Song Ying's impression, Princess Anyang was not such a person.

Song Ying went to Rong Huaian's yard, and seeing that Huaian was still unhappy, she comforted him, "The woman today was Princess Anyang, she is actually... a girl with a bitter heart..., did she scold you?

What did you say?

Rong Huaian shook his head and said, “She didn’t scold me.

She just recited poems and articles while crying.

She wanted to send you a piece of colored paper and a letter, but she didn't know where you were, across the mountains and rivers.

She said, the clouds are vast, the water is boundless, and the journey home for the soldiers is very long.

She said, "We will be together through life and death."

She said, "A field of tobacco, a city full of catkins. Rain when plums turn yellow."

She said, "You ask me when I will return, but I have no idea when I will return..."

She said, the willows in the west city are full of spring tenderness.

She said, "A person standing alone among the falling petals sees two swallows flying in the light rain."

She was reading all this to me while crying. She was not speaking to her son, but to the person who was leaving at the beginning.

But she couldn't say these things. Her son would feel very sad when he heard them, but I didn't know what to do.

I could only sit there quietly, waiting for her to finish talking, to finish crying, and to leave before I left.

I packed the duck, but I still feel bad. ”

Song Ying was extremely surprised: "You know all these poems? You understand them all?"

Rong Huaian seemed confused by the key points his mother had pointed out, and nodded, "My son knows everything. He studies every day except for eating and sleeping. He has also read all the books assigned by the teachers. Both teachers said that my son learns quickly."

Song Ying was overjoyed and casually asked about two more classics from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Han Dynasty. Seeing that Rong Huaian explained the sources and references clearly, he was even more delighted.

At this time, the doorman came running over to report: "Madam, the second master is back!"
