Story of Yanxi Palace: Red Seal Spring Star

On the day of early summer, Jiang Jiang entered the palace, and Fu Changan was taken back to Mashen Temple Street by the old lady.In the afternoon, Fulong'an and Xiao Guo'er went to the tree to dig out the eggs, each took three eggs, and slipped down the tree.Hu Lin was on duty, took Xiao Guoer home, Fulongan took a bath, Yingluo put a new small pendant around his neck, he played with the bird eggs on the kang table by himself, Yingluo painted on the side table , Seeing his concentration, I really don't know what to see in the naked bird's egg.

This child really looks more and more like Fu Heng, with thick eyebrows, round eyes, and a high nose bridge. Every time she sees him, she is very happy from the bottom of her heart. Now she is wearing a white dress made of pearls, and she wears an antique Khotan small jade tiger around her neck. , the little tiger's head up and down, facing his little chin, is round and crawling, its ears, eyes and nose are vivid and cute, and the forelimbs are pierced and knotted, which is simple and simple, and looks particularly airy.The second sister-in-law said he was beautiful since she was a child, and now she likes him even more.The old lady was even more happy when she heard that the longer he grew, the more he looked like Fu Heng.In the past, she felt that he was not like herself, but now he is fine, but Fu Heng said that it is enough for Jiang Jiang to be like himself...

Just as she was thinking about it, she suddenly heard Pearl say, "Second Young Master, the stewed noodles are ready, let's wash your hands and eat noodles."Then with a "snap", a bird egg fell to the ground and shattered!Since Fu Chang'an was born, Yu Jingyuan has called Fu Long'an the second young master, because the eldest young master is Fu Kang'an.Both Yingluo and Pearl were startled, and Fulongan burst into tears immediately.Zhu Zhen hurriedly walked over, knelt down and hugged him in his arms, coaxing him: "It's all about Zhu Zhu's fault, did you scare the little master?"It's bad pearls, bad pearls!Long'er don't cry, be good, don't cry!Long'er likes braised noodles the most. Pearl will take you to eat, okay?While wiping his tears with a handkerchief.

Yingluo then put down the pen, came over to coax her son together, and said with a smile: "What's the matter with our master Xiaolong!"How old are you, still crying!The two coaxed each other for a while, but Fu Long'an cried even more sadly, saying that the little bird died like this, and he would not let him go. Yingluo became angry and said angrily: "Don't cry anymore!"Cry again for the pearl to get the ruler!Fu Longan stopped crying, stared at the round eyes angrily, pulled the little jade tiger and threw it on the ground, put the two eggs in his arms, broke away from the two of them, and ran out.After running to the gate of the courtyard outside, he bumped into Fu Heng who was coming back from the next court.He ignored Fu Heng and ran out.

Yingluo and Zhuzhu were catching up, when they saw Fu Heng, they hurriedly said: Stop Longer!Fu Heng grabbed Yingluo and asked: What's the matter?Where is Long Er going?Yingluo said urgently: "Go and stop him, he must be going to climb a tree to get the bird eggs."Fu Heng asked: "The tree in Yingfang?"Yingluo said: Yes, go quickly!go!There are so many people watching under the tree in the afternoon!It's so boring, it's going to rain heavily!

When Fu Heng hurried to the big tree in the Eagle House, he saw that Fu Longan had already climbed up the tree, sitting on a branch, playing with the eggs.The branch was nearly two feet off the ground.Fu Heng then said to him: Long Er, come down.Fu Longan said: I don't!My mother scolded me!I'm not going home.Fu Heng smiled and said: "Your mother is doing it for your own good."Fulongan snorted and ignored him.Thunder began to rumble from the sky, it was getting late and it was going to rain, Fu Heng persuaded him to come down again, but Fu Longan was determined not to do it.At this time, Yingluo came to the tree with a few servants and called her son down.

Without saying a word, big raindrops came down from the sky.Fu Heng told Yingluo to go back quickly to take shelter from the rain. The heavy rain poured down, and everyone under the tree was immediately in a panic.I only heard Fulongan laughing on the tree: "Ama, I'm coming down."As he said that, he turned around and was about to slip down the tree, but his foot slipped, he stepped on the ground, and his body fell sharply. Everyone exclaimed, Fu Heng immediately rushed to pick up his son, and the two fell into the mud together. On Fu Heng's body, his eyes were closed and he was unconscious.Yingluo yelled: Long Er!Busy up to see the father and son.The servants carried Fu Long'an in their arms, Yingluo saw that Fu Heng was pale, and rushed to help him.He also asked someone to call for a soft bag.

When everyone sent Fu Heng back to his room, Yingluo didn't care about changing his own clothes, and she and Zhuzhu first helped him change into the mud-stained court clothes outside, and then helped him into the bedroom and leaned on the bed.Yingluo was startled when she saw a bruise the size of a bowl on his right hipbone.When Ye Tianshi was invited to see a doctor, he said that Mr. Fu Heng had injured his bones and muscles, and he might have to rest at home for half a month. Fu Longan was fine, but just fainted from fright.He prescribed medicine to Fu Heng and massaged him with alcohol, saying that he should abstain from alcohol and spicy food, so he went there just now.

Fu Longan had already changed his clothes, took a bath and ate noodles. The other two eggs in his arms fell out and broke, but seeing that he had caused a catastrophe, he didn't dare to make trouble anymore, so he put it back on the little jade tiger and was led by Pearl. Walking to the bed, he said to Fu Heng: "Ama, it's all about Long Er's fault, I'm sorry."Fu Heng reached out and touched his head and said: "It's okay, Ama is fine, it will be fine in a few days, don't climb the tree anymore, that tree is too tall."Fulong'an nodded, and shed tears.Fu Heng smiled and said: Why are you crying again? Your mother always said that men don't cry easily.Amma is really fine!Fu Longan said: Er Niang is going to scold me again!Said and burst into tears.

Fu Heng leaned sideways on the bed and couldn't move, so he took his hand and told him to sit on the edge of the bed, put his arms around him, and comforted him with words and kisses.Pearl looked at the side and made his eyes moist.Yingluo and Cui'er sent Ye Tianshi back, and seeing the father and son like this, they felt annoyed and funny.Going forward, he wanted to take Fulong'an away and let Fu Heng rest. Fu Heng smiled at her and shook his head.

So she also shook her head, and asked Tweety to order someone to bring in dinner for herself and Fu Heng, and asked the servants to carry the small square table and stool and put them beside the bed.After the noodles were brought in, Yingluo wanted to feed Fu Heng. Fu Heng told her to eat first and rest for a while, and then closed her eyes.

Yingluo lifted the lid of the blue-and-white flower-patterned grid box, picked up a few side dishes such as pickled cucumbers, white sugar, and garlic from the blue-and-white Eight Immortals grid dish, and fed them to Fu Longan.Yingluo then took a small blue and white Fenghou bowl, picked noodles from the large bowl with ruyi cloud-shaped intertwined peony and chrysanthemum patterns in the glaze, and scooped marinade from another red medium bowl with the same type of glaze.The title of Marquis was due to the sound of "hou" and "monkey". Fu Longan sat at the table and was fed by pearls. As usual, he was very happy to see the pattern of two monkeys playing outside the small bowl.Look at the stack of small "Erjia Chuanlu" plates over there. The center of the plate is painted with double circles in blue and white. Inside, there are two crabs entrenched in the stream, with reeds growing along the bank and flowing water.This bowl and plate are his favorite tableware.

Yingluo then asked him: What does "Erjia Chuanhe" mean?Fulong'an said: "Crabs have carapaces, and reeds are homophonic for 'he', so two crabs plus reeds are called "Erjia Chuanlu". "Ming History Election Records" records: "The first Huiyuan in the test, the first in the second class is Chuanlu."Erjia Chuanlu is to wish for the title of the gold list in the imperial examination.Yingluo smiled and patted his head, saying: Long'er is awesome!Fu Longan asked: Er Niang, when can I eat crabs?Yingluo said: In two months, eat during the Mid-Autumn Festival.As he spoke, he took a blue and white dragon and phoenix wearing Sanskrit bowl, filled it with noodles and marinade and ate it himself.Fu Longan likes to eat crabs very much. In his room, there is a painting "Ink Crab" by Xu Wei, a master of the Ming Dynasty. Fu Heng also gave him a pastel "Er Jia Chuan Lu" snuff bottle to play with, so that he could learn and enjoy himself.

Yingluo herself likes Xu Wei and his calligraphy and paintings very much. Apart from the three banners of Zhu Zhishan's cursive "Yueyang Tower" in the back hall of Yujing Garden, there are only two vertical scrolls of Xu Wei's own cursive script.Zhu Zhishan's cursive script has the momentum of Zhang Xuhuaisu, and is also influenced by Huangshan Valley's calligraphy style.

One said:

"The imperial court dismissed Xiaolianke for a long time, but the bus is only a foot away. The tomb path must be engraved with stones, and the door will be closed. The sun is thousands of miles away, and the two feet are naked in the snow. This life is only ten days in Pengcheng, don't teach me to make it. The next time I went down the ice slope. The son and the father arrived in Yan because of the tomb of the respected man, and he returned to La, so he sent him here. Xu Wei, a native of Tianchi Mountain."

Second said:

"The drizzle in the spring garden is twilight, and the leaves of leeks are used as fences to grow. The Old Testament leaves a long message every other year, and a bunch of new vegetables smells like mud. Liang Chen has already felt the swallows flying in the river, and the shadow of his hat moves to mess with the begonias. After drinking, he deliberates It should be unavoidable, but I only worry about not being an annoyed man. Drunk and guarding under the crabapple tree, the night is full of abstinence, and the people of Tianchi Mountain are Wei."

In the bedroom of "Yicuitang", there are also two banners of Xu Wei's "Crab Fun in the Lotus Pond", which are hung on the wall behind a row of huanghuali wood edged window pattern bookcases facing the bed in this Bisha kitchen.In the painting, the light and shade of the flowers and branches are expressed in shades of light and dryness. The ink and wash are free and unrestrained, and the momentum is vertical and horizontal. A wild vitality.

And in front of the bookcase, there is a half-person-high screen with a red grain and harvest pattern, a thin red frame and a thick red base, the primer is dark brown and strong like coffee, and the top paint is as stunning as deep jujube.The base is full of carvings, the knife is exquisite, extremely gorgeous and eye-catching.The screen surface is decorated with copper body cloisonné enamel, the whole body is blue cloud bat pattern as the ground, and the upper part is decorated with "five grains and harvest" vases, living and working in peace, good fortune and longevity, auspicious abundance and other auspicious patterns, red, white, yellow, blue, green, purple, etc. The colors complement each other and are gorgeous.Contrasted with the ink on the wall and the plain bookcase, it adds warmth to the bedroom.This inserted screen was one of the rewards given to the Fucha family by the emperor when he made Rong Yin his empress.

There is a large lake in Yujing Garden, named Jinghu Lake. Every summer, lotus flowers bloom in the lake. On the end of the lake is "the lotus leaves are infinitely green, and the lotus flowers are red in the sun". There are also many yellow-billed egrets. Walking through the lotus pond to catch fish.There is a poem: "The red mud pavilion has a small sand head, and the green silk willow is lightly shaded. Under the pavilion, there is a sound of flowing water, and there are two egrets in the waves of clothes. When the water comes out of the fields, the scorpion misses Jiaorui. Add a man who washes the clothes. The red tide is stronger. Shallow and deep".Therefore, there is a pavilion called "Red Nishatou" beside the lake, and there is also a water pavilion called "Liuli Pavilion" in the lake, and countless weeping willows are planted beside the lake.In autumn, the remnant lotus and the willow willows have a unique momentum, just like Xu Wei's painting.

She also likes Xu Wei's poem "Painting Crabs": "When the rice is cooked, the crabs in Jiangcun are fat, and their pincers are like halberds sticking out of green mud. If you turn over the teaching paper and look at it, you should see Dong Zhuo's navel." It is said that when the rice is ripe in autumn , Jiangcun crab fat, don't look at the crab's double pincers standing upright on the green mud, but if you turn it upside down and draw it on paper, it looks like Dong Zhuo's round belly button.Dong Zhuo was a powerful official at the end of the Han Dynasty. Because of his many crimes, soldiers lit a lamp on his navel after his death, and the fat flowed all over the ground.This is to catch the characteristics of crabs that are fat after autumn, their belly is full of fat, and crab roe, to satirize those feudal dignitaries who are full of fat.Every time she recites this poem to her son, Fulongan can't stop laughing.

After feeding a bowl, Fu Longan said that he was full. Yingluo put down the chopsticks, took peanut candy from the large plate with red peony pattern in Hongwu glaze, fried chestnuts and sanzi, and fed him a few mouthfuls. Then she hugged her son in the In his arms, Wen Yan comforted him a few words, telling him not to worry about Ama, let Ama rest well, and taught him to kiss Fu Heng before asking Pearl to take him away.

Yin asked Tweety, "When did this Shunzhi blue and white unicorn and plantain plate with chopsticks and spoons arrive?"Cui'er said: "Gui'er next to the little prince personally delivered it this morning, and the set of Kangxi alum red and golden phoenix pattern bowls was also delivered together. She said that Princess Sang asked to send it quickly, and said that she would bring other registers at home later." Pick for you, now your set of blue and white is complete.She wants to thank you, but you dare to accept it.Talking and laughing.

Yingluo continued to eat the noodles in her blue and white bowl, also smiled, and said: What are you afraid of? !But it’s a pity that they are all things from this dynasty. I like the mighty appearance of this unicorn, or our original Ming Dynasty ones are better. Although the Hongwu underglaze red is not skilled enough, it can only appear grayish red, which is far better than It is not as good as today's underglaze red, but it is more precious.

Then pointing to the large plate of red peony, he said: This plate has a folded edge of a rhombic flower, very Islamic style, fine sand bottom, flint red.Five folded peonies are painted in the center of the plate, and a circle of folds is connected outside. The inner wall is decorated with folded peonies and folded chrysanthemums, and the edge of the mouth is painted with curly grass. The decoration is complicated and the outline is skillful. These rare things are not comparable to blue and white in our dynasty. beloved.Tweety nodded, now she has also learned a lot about antiques from Yingluo, because the house even uses antiques for daily meals.

After Yingluo finished eating, together with Cui'er, Fu Heng was helped to get up, half leaned on the pillow, and then picked noodles from another big bowl and put them in a small Fenghou bowl, and fed him with chopsticks.Seeing that Fu Heng's face was still pale, he said: "It's all my fault. I'm impatient with children. If you're tired and injured, it hurts enough for Long'er to fall on you... Fu Heng shook his head with a smile.While feeding him noodles, Yingluo said: You can't go to the military plane, now even the emperor will blame me!

Fu Heng said nonchalantly: Tell them to send the notebooks home, but after more than ten days, I used to read the notebooks at home.Just right, stay with you at home.Yingluo smiled sweetly, and said: I was always worried that something would happen to you if you took Long'er on a horse, and he was always unhappy if you didn't buy a pony, but I didn't expect it to be a bird's egg!Fortunately, Xiao Guoer was not around. In the afternoon, I was sweating under the tree!Hu Lin said it was all right, there was him.In the end, Master Fu Heng was thrown down at night!Fu Heng laughed and touched her hand holding the bowl.

Like his son Fu Long'an, Fu Heng also likes to eat stewed noodles, and he wants the pork belly to be cut into medium-sized pieces, so the noodles made by their family are exactly what he wants.Smart and careful people tend to be picky, not to mention Mrs. Fu Heng, Fu Zhongtang is a noble son and young master. The food and clothing of their family are basically Fu Heng's preferences. Of course Yingluo is on him for these things, anyway, she was born as a servant Yes, she often thought happily: She and Fu Heng are a perfect match!Er Niang didn't say anything, it was the sister of the first queen, and Fu Heng.Fu Heng seldom went out to eat, and the meals and banquets in the palace were fine, because they couldn't meet his requirements, but he didn't care if he went out to march and fight.Therefore, apart from Mrs. Liu, all the cooks in Yujing Garden were appointed by the old lady herself.

Yingluo put the pork belly, shiitake mushrooms, mushrooms, day lily, fungus, eggs, and green garlic in the bowl one by one, and put them in his mouth, mixed with fried charred pepper oil. Fu Heng had to eat three bowls. It's delicious.

Then, Tweety went outside and brought in a tray, on which was a bowl with Wanli Doucai wrapped branches and Meridian lotus pattern, inside was fresh chilled red bayberry, served in a small bowl of the same style, and handed it to Yingluo.Yingluo ate a few for Fu Heng and a few for herself.

After the meal, Tweety taught someone to clean up, and after serving the wash, she served tea for the two of them with carmine-glazed gold bell cups.After tea, the master and servant helped Fu Heng to lie down again, and Tweety went out.Yingluo sat by the bed and held Fu Heng's hand, Fu Heng said: "You come up too."Yingluo said: Then I have to take a bath first.

When Yingluo came back, Fu Heng seemed to have fallen asleep with his eyes closed.On the dressing table was a handful of jasmine flowers in a sweet white glaze hopper. I knew that Tweety was planting them in the afternoon, so I must have just brought them in.So she sat in front of the table, looked in the mirror, picked out jasmine oil and rubbed it on, took a book, went to bed and sat on the thin quilt, leaned on the pillow, looked at the bottle and smiled, Tweety looks good in flower arrangement now Yes, jasmine is the favorite flower of the Queen's sister. At that time, I braved the wind and rain and wore an oilcloth to protect this flower in the courtyard of Changchun Palace...

The author has something to say:

[Xu Wei] The word Wenqing, later changed to Wenchang, is a native of Shanyin (now Shaoxing), Zhejiang. He is a famous calligrapher, painter, writer, dramatist, and military strategist in the Ming Dynasty.He has many aliases, including Tianchi Shanren, Qingteng Taoist, Tian Shuiyue, Shuxian and so on.Xu Wei once served as Hu Zongxian's staff, helping him capture Xu Hai and lure Wang Zhi. [Hu Zongxian] (November 1512, 11-November 4, 1565), with the word Ruqin, the word Ruzhen, and the name Meilin, was born in Jixi County, Huizhou Prefecture, Nanzhili Province, and a famous minister of Jiajing in Ming Dynasty.Hu Zongxian has been an official for more than 11 years. He is loyal to the country and powerful in fighting against the Japanese. detailed.In addition, "Haitang Tulun" and "Three Patrols" have been handed down.

In the 41st year of Jiajing (1562), Yan Song and his son lost power. Lu Fengyi took the opportunity to impeach Zong Xian as the Yan Song Party.In the 43rd year of Jiajing (1564), he was released from office and returned to his hometown.The following year, the imperial court obtained a letter written by Yan Shifan, the son of Yan Song, to Hu Zongxian. There was no hope of defending the falsehood, so Zongxian was arrested and imprisoned. in prison.In the sixth year of Longqing (1572), the court rehabilitated him.At that time, Xu Wei committed suicide nine times under the frenzy of fear but survived.Later, he was sentenced to death in prison for killing his stepwife. After being imprisoned for seven years, he was rescued by Zhang Yuanxi and other friends.After that, he traveled to Jinling in the south and Shanggu in the north. Looking at the frontiers, he often sang generously and elegiacly.In his later years, he carefully trained Li Rusong, a famous general, and made him make immortal achievements. In the end, he suffered from poverty and illness, and his collection of thousands of books was sold out.

Xu Wei is a prodigy who has achieved achievements in poetry, opera, calligraphy and painting.The crabs in Xu Wei's pen are indulged with the pen, not pursuing similarity in shape, but highlighting the feeling.In "Yellow Armor Picture", the most famous painting of his crabs, he used unrestrained and concise brush and ink to draw the crawling shape of crabs.In the upper right corner of "Huang Jia Tu", there is a poem written by Xu Wei: "Suddenly there is a material spirit, don't ask if there are any pearls in the past year, if you raise them alone, no one will know, and sometimes the yellow armor will pass on the group alone." It refers to the crab. Drowsy, bold, and empty, but it has a unique appearance that makes people not recognize it.But at this time, the yellow armor is very popular, so it can only be named on the yellow list and enter the first place.Xu Wei's painting uses the image of crabs to be rude and rampant, to mock those people who were illiterate and shameless in the world at that time, but were able to rely on personal connections or money to get into high school and rank in the top ranks.The imperial examinations gradually became rigid, and the disadvantages appeared. Many truly talented people often failed in the examinations. A genius like Xu Wei, who was known as a child prodigy since he was a child, failed to pass the provincial examination eight times. However, people who do not always succeed in high school often become domineering and domineering.

He is the founder of China's "Splash-ink Daxieyi Painting School" and the originator of the "Qingteng School of Painting". His paintings can absorb the essence of the predecessors and be reborn. Flowers are the most outstanding, creating a generation of painting style.His paintings are shocking to the world, with wild brushwork, dripping ink, not sticking to similarities in shape, forming a family of his own, creating a new style of freehand brushwork in ink and wash, and called "green vines, white sun" together with Chen Chun, which has a great influence on later generations. "Baiyang" Chen Chun, nicknamed Baiyangshanren, is the author of the painting that Yingluo inherited from Nalan's family mentioned in the novel, that is, one of the two wonders in the history of Fu Heng's possession, "Ink Brush and Flower Volume".Bada, Banqiao, Baishi and other masters in painting circles, some are "willing to be Ivy's lackeys", and some "wish to be born 300 years ago, grinding ink and paper for Ivy".He is good at writing and cursive, and has written a large number of poems and essays. He is known as "a talented man of the Ming Dynasty"; he can play the piano and is familiar with rhythm; he loves opera.There are also Zaju "Four Sounds of the Ape", "Song Dai Xiao" and anthologies handed down from generation to generation.

The contrast between Xu Wei's calligraphy and the dreary atmosphere in the early Ming Dynasty is particularly prominent. He is best at majestic wild cursive, but it is difficult for ordinary people to understand, and his pen is messy. He likes his own calligraphy very much. He thinks "calligraphy is the first, Poetry comes second, writing third, and painting fourth.”Xu Wei broke the loneliness of the Ming Dynasty calligraphy world dominated by "Taige Style", opened and led the late Ming Dynasty "Shangtai" style of calligraphy, and led Ming Dynasty calligraphy to a new peak.Tao Wangling believes that his calligraphy is "called Qijue, and he is called Mingyi".Yuan Hongdao said: "The chivalrous man named Lin!"

[Li Rusong] (1549-May 1598, 5), styled Zimao and nicknamed Yangcheng, was born in Tielingwei (now Tieling City, Liaoning Province).A famous general in the Ming Dynasty, Li Chengliang's eldest son, Liaodong General Soldier.Li Chengliang and Nurhachi had many confrontations.Li Rusong was brave and good at fighting, and he studied under Xu Wei.Relying on his father's shadow, he started to command Tongzhi and served as Ningyuan Boxunwei.He made many military exploits, moved the capital to supervise the affairs, became the right deputy general of Shenjiying, and was promoted to the general army of Shanxi.In the 8th year of Wanli (20), he served as the admiral of Ningxia and quelled the rebellion of worship in Ningxia.He served as the governor's office of the Chinese army and led troops to aid North Korea.Participated in the Battle of Pyongyang, defeating the Japanese Army Konishi and other departments.He burned down the warehouse in Longshan, destroyed the food supply of the Japanese army, and made a great contribution to the victory of the "Imjin War to Resist the Japanese and Aid Korea".In the 1592th year of Wanli (25), he served as the General Soldier of Liaodong, and was granted the title of Special Jin Ronglu Doctor, and he was granted the title of Uncle Ning Yuan.In the 1597th year of Wanli (26), Li Rusong was killed in a battle with the Mongolian tribe. At the age of 1598, he was awarded Shaobao, and his posthumous title was "Zhonglie".
