The Qinghe County Lord of the Red Chamber

Let's say that after the Shangsi Festival, the court fell into a strange calm.

Lin Ruhai was granted the title of Marquis of Pingyang, and the eldest son of Baoninghou's mansion was given the title of Prince, and the two families got married, creating a lively and grand scene.

This is completely different from the rumors that spread before.

Didn't it mean that the Supreme Emperor threw things at Baoninghou every day, wishing he could raise his sword and cut down Lord Shanghou!

What's the situation now?

The Empress Dowager Shang can be said to be free from rumors.

Now that the wind has been changed, it becomes the emperor who was provoked by villains in his illness, but now he has turned around and is taking care of his sick body with peace of mind.

The courtiers were like falling into the clouds, so they could only act cautiously, and the situation calmed down for a while.

Now Daiyu refers to the marriage, and has already left the palace to be married, and only enters the palace two days later to pay her respects to the empress dowager.

The Empress Dowager Shang simply didn't ask Shang Chanchan to study in the Mingjing Hall, but took her with her every day to teach.

Regarding the fact that the emperor gave the two governments extra face this time, the Queen Mother also gave her some advice: "The one who is kind is more blessed than the one who receives kindness. Take your time to think about it. When you understand, I will rest assured that you will marry me." people."

Shang Chanchan humbly held the words and went back to ponder.

Let's say that Daiyu came to the palace to say hello that day, and the Empress Dowager Shang asked them to play together.

Seeing Shang Chanchan's expression of amnesty, Daiyu wondered: "I don't want to go to school now, why do you go against this situation?"

"Sister Lin, you don't know, a few days ago, the empress found a lot of old things about the palace for me to read.

As big as a murder tragedy, as small as a court lady's bickering - I don't know where the palace people get these idle time, everything is recorded - the empress told me to learn to judge right from wrong. "

"I'm not a Baogong, and the world's affairs are not black and white. I'm dizzy thinking about it."

Daiyu understood as soon as she heard it: Empress Dowager Shang is training Shang Chanchan's ability to be the master in the future.

After all, the population of the business is simpler, with only parents on it, and the same generation are all descendants of the same generation.

Unlike Xie's family, once Shang Chanchan got married, there were two levels of parents-in-law above her, and three sister-in-laws who were born in the same generation were waiting in her boudoir.

There are many people and many things. As the eldest grandson's daughter-in-law, she naturally has to make a decision.

So he persuaded: "These are serious things, you should study hard."

Shang Chanchan had a bitter face: "For the past two days, I have stopped trying to settle the case, but my mother has started asking me to settle the score again!"

"I just realized how clear and simple the accounts of our two families are. At first, my mother said that when I first started studying, I started with the simplest ones and only calculated the accounts of the maids. Even if there are some mistakes and omissions, nothing serious will happen.

When I took it over and took a look, my hair stood up: the tea meal for a single palace lady only costs three to four thousand taels a month, and it is divided into eleven classes. It is really trivial.How many taels of meat and how many catties of vegetables are there every day? I can't even eat. "

It's all endless bitter water.

Daiyu could only nod her forehead and said with a smile: "You are not allowed to say this dead word. It is taboo in the palace now."

When the two came to Daiyu's former room, Shang Chanchan fiddled with the Biyi instrument and the sphere on Daiyu's table.

The Hebi instrument was made by the Supreme Emperor when he ascended the throne at the beginning of the year. In Shang Chanchan's view, it was just a complicated turntable with several circles on it, engraved with the twelve hours, 24 solar terms and the names of the stars.

It's so dense that it hurts to look at it.

The Emperor Taishang called it "scraping, harsh and broken, poorly chiseled and secluded, and it is especially difficult for people."

Especially now that all the official families have clocks imported from the West.

Except for those who like to study and count the stars, no one will use this to tell the time.

But Shang Chi likes this kind of thing very much.

In his words: "People's hearts are complicated and treacherous, and there is only one way to count, and there are always rules."

Later, I gave a set to Daiyu, and she was really interested.

Shang Chanchan felt sorry for her: The exhaustion or boredom of academic masters is solved by doing math problems. It really is not a world that we can understand.

Fortunately, although the affairs in the palace are cumbersome, there are rules for everything.It is nothing more than practice makes perfect and careful work.

The Empress Dowager Shang only used this to grind Shang Chanchan's temper.

It was already April, and when Shang Chanchan was dizzy and continued to settle the accounts, she suddenly saw Princess Lirong approaching.

"Let's go, Xie Ling has entered the palace."

Shang Chanchan pushed the ledger in front of her, and the two came to Qianqiu Pavilion.

Princess Lirong and the Fifth Prince avoided it very considerately, and did not go far, just looking at a new ox horn bow outside the pavilion.

Xie Ling held a carved sandalwood box in his hand.

Shang Chanchan opened it and saw that it was a jade hairpin.The body of the hairpin is rare and white, and the head of the hairpin is carved with an exquisite jade rabbit.

She picked it up and looked at Riying: "This is rare."

Generally, jewelry or embroidery products are auspicious, and pomegranates and grapes are often used as fruits.

Animals are mostly peacocks, magpies and egrets.

Or elephant, whichever means peace and elephant, is used more.

Xie Ling nodded: "I asked someone to sculpt this, and it matches your name."

Chan is the meaning of the moon, the jade rabbit in the middle of the moon.

Shang Chanchan wondered: "Where do you have such leisure time now? It's not a year or festival, why are you so bothered all of a sudden?"

Xie Ling would bring her various gifts in the past, but it's a bit abnormal to put extra effort into doing these when he is so busy.

Xie Ling's expression suddenly became indescribably solemn, and his words sounded loudly: "This is a birthday gift."

"You said that April is your birthday."

Shang Chanchan suddenly felt a chill spreading.

She stared at Xie Ling's expression and said with a smile as usual: "I said it casually two years ago. I just wanted to accept two gifts. My birthday is recorded in all characters, and it is August [-]th. You Don't even remember this?"

Xie Ling didn't meet her eyes, and said, "A few days ago, I was studying the notes my grandfather and father had when they were marching."

"My grandfather went on an expedition to border Tibet, and he has made a contribution to the restoration of Tibet now."

Shang Chanchan's heart skipped a beat: "I know, it was the Supreme Emperor who regained Tibet that year, and now the lamas in Tibet are making pilgrimages to see His Majesty every year."

Xie Ling continued: "I saw a strange thing in my grandfather's notebook, and when I thought about it, I suddenly felt terrified. Let me tell you now, okay?"

Seeing Shang Chanchan nodding, he paused and began to talk about the matter: "Grandfather once stationed his own soldiers in a temple, saw a young monk dying of serious illness, he couldn't bear it, so he used medicinal materials."

"However, after the monk regained consciousness from his illness, his demeanor changed suddenly. It is obvious that children are full of vicissitudes. It's all been lost."

"Tibet has always believed in the theory of reincarnation, and the monks in the temple said that the child had great blessings and was reincarnated by a living Buddha. That's why there are many behaviors that are beyond ordinary people."

Every time he said a word, Shang Chanchan's face turned paler.

Seeing this, Xie Ling couldn't bear it very much, so he opened his bow and didn't turn his head back, so he could only continue: "Grandfather used to travel all over the country. Although he heard many strange stories, this is the only one he saw with his own eyes, so he recorded it. .

Chanchan, do you believe in these stories about ghosts and spirits in the past and present? "

As for what Shang Chanchan was thinking at this time, it was regret, extreme regret.

Once the secret of time travel is revealed, how will she deal with herself!

She always felt that Xie Ling was taciturn, not as careful and intelligent as Daiyu and Shang Chi.

Therefore, the more we get along these years, the less careful we are in front of him, he says everything casually, and he is not careful enough in his actions.

On the contrary, at home, she was still careful everywhere.

Especially before going to Beijing, she had been lying in bed for half a year, and she had figured out everyone's temper, so she dared to gradually reveal her own temperament.

So much so that her parents and elder brothers thought she was recovering from illness.

Besides, the last thing she should do is to tell Xie Ling about the illegal activities of the Ning Rong Second House that she learned from the book.

I'm afraid that's what made him suspicious.

Sure enough, seeing that she just didn't speak, Xie Ling said directly: "You told me about the private affairs of the Jia family before. It's really not something you observed in the inner house, so you can prevaricate it."

"Chanchan, the people raised in our mansion are not for free, and they are buried deeper in Rongguo Mansion than you imagine."

"But they don't know anything about it, but you, a girl who has been a guest twice, know about it. It's really weird."

"It's all about the Qin family's business. After all, there are many people who have dealt with it. You can't say that you saw through it yourself."

"The thing that made me suspicious the most was the matter of Lian's second grandma. I asked the sister-in-law of Shuiyue Temple to inquire carefully, and she only said that she and the second grandma were the only ones there that night."

"Even that day, Second Mistress Lian was supposed to live in Tiekan Temple like the rest of the family, but she couldn't get used to living there, so she decided to go to Shuiyue Temple nearby."

"How on earth do you know?"

Shang Chanchan had nothing to say.

She looked up at Xie Ling, broke the jar and said, "So, you think I'm also the reincarnation of the living Buddha? Can you pinch and count?"

Xie Ling shook his head: "That's not true."

"Firstly, you don't have any sense of old age and vicissitudes, and secondly, the reincarnation of a living Buddha soul boy is a miracle unique to Tibet, and the characteristic of a living Buddha is that he has early wisdom.

But you, if you are not precocious, it is very difficult to learn.So it must not be the reincarnation of some sages and masters. "

Shang Chanchan: ...Although you are right, I still feel humiliated.

Xindao: Others wear Su Susu all the way back, wishing to shock the world and go down in history.

When I travel back to ancient times, it is the life of Chanchan who was struck by vivid images.

She cut straight to the point: "So, what do you think I am?"

Xie Ling took a deep breath and took the lead in promising: "You have to believe that I will protect you and not let anyone hurt you."

Under Shang Chanchan's puzzled gaze, he said slowly but firmly: "You have become refined."

Shang Chanchan:? !

Xie Ling interpreted her shocked expression as the panic of being exposed.So I became more determined in my mind.

"Everything in the world has spirits, especially animals, plants, and trees can easily become spirits, and those who are virtuous can be reborn as human fetuses."

"I went to find some uncles and asked about your childhood. They all said that you were weak and sick when you were young, especially because you were very introverted. You almost never spoke."

"That's right: Ancient books say that all animals have to refine the bones in their throats before they can speak human words. This is the first time you have been born into a human being. You must not be familiar with it."

"Sure enough, it will be fine when you are seven or eight years old."

"As for your weird sayings and words that pop up out of nowhere, the reason why I haven't heard of them is because you beasts understand, right?"

Shang Chanchan: ...you are the beast, and your whole family is a beast!

"So, you can flirt with the birds. They are also the ones who told you about the crimes of Ningrong Second Mansion?"

Xie Ling's train of thought was very clear: the aunt insisted that she and Wang Xifeng were the only ones to be alone.

The reason why Shang Chanchan knew it was only from non-humans.

Shang Chanchan's shocked expression had calmed down, she just looked at Xie Ling numbly: "Go on, let me see how far you can go."

Being born in ancient times to be a general really wronged you, but being born in modern times, you are a master of fantasy.

Shang Chanchan lost her temper, and simply followed his train of thought to ask: "Then have you guessed what I am?"

Xie Ling had obviously thought about this question and had an answer: "Rabbit."

Shang Chanchan: ... the rabbit jade hairpin in her hand became hot immediately.

"why?"

"The first time you and I met, you chose to kick Zhou Jingran—only rabbits like to kick people with their legs instead of their hands."

"And Shangyuan Festival, you brought a vivid rabbit mask, even with ears."

"Besides, you like fox fur and mink fur, because both foxes and mink, of course, catch young rabbits to eat. So you hate them."

After Xie Ling finished speaking, she comforted: "I didn't know before, so I also shot wild rabbits in the paddock.

But don't worry, I won't hunt rabbits anymore.Only hunt those beasts that eat rabbits. "

Shang Chanchan: ...I have nothing to say.

Xie Ling has formed a perfect logical closed loop, and everything in the past has been explained with his own settings.

And listening to his analysis, Shang Chanchan even suspected that she was a rabbit.

She simply gave up on herself: "Don't you mind marrying a rabbit spirit?"

Xie Ling frowned: "What are you talking about? You have been a human being in this life, you have family relatives, and you have to let go of everything in your past."

He even instructed: "You must remember to be careful in everything in the future. You are not allowed to kick people like rabbits at random, and you can't say something about your rabbit clan. It's the rabbit's birthday. To avoid being discovered by others."

In fact, when he first learned about it, he was also worried about it, and he had nightmares for several days.

It was only later that this matter slowly came to an end.

So what if she is a ghost, in this life she is just a girl from Baoninghou's mansion, his fiancée.

This secret will only be a secret between the two of them.

Shang Chanchan was completely convinced, and said weakly: "You can really think about it..."

Xie Ling paused, and asked the last and most important worry in her heart: "As long as you don't go back, it's fine, you won't turn back into a rabbit again, right?"

The author has something to say: Shang Chanchan: Who would have thought that the psychic treasure jade and the crimson bead fairy would descend to the mortal world and become a human being, and no one would find out.A pure human like me was labeled as a rabbit spirit.

Xie Ling: I understand, my character design just doesn't speak.Every time I talk too much, I will definitely go astray.
