[Red Mansions] The promotion of the female history of salted fish

"Please." Concubine Zhuang raised the corners of her mouth with a deeper arc.

Speaking of Concubine Li, she and Concubine Zhuang are also old friends.Concubine Li's family background was not that good, when she first entered the palace she was a beauty, and she lived in Concubine Zhuang's Changchun Palace.However, it was still early for her to give birth to the fifth prince. At that time, the concubine Zhuang said a few nice words to the emperor, and asked Concubine Li for a concubine, so that she could raise the prince in a fair and honest manner.

As a high-ranking concubine, it is naturally not easy to continue to live in the side hall of Changchun Palace.But after Concubine Li moved out, she would go back to Concubine Zhuang every three to five days to see her, and she would bring the fifth prince with her.Even after the fifth prince got married, Concubine Li would often bring the fifth prince and concubine around.Concubine Zhuang had just taken over the palace affairs recently, so she was too busy to spare, and Concubine Li hadn't come for more than half a month.

Since there were guests, Concubine Zhuang couldn't help ordering the kitchen to make new snacks, and ordered Baisha to fetch the Mingqian Longjing that arrived this year, and said to Concubine Li with a smile, "I'll keep it for you."

Concubine Li was not polite either, she sat down and waved her hands, "Tea is enough," she pointed to the dim sum plate on the table, "Isn't this just delivered this morning? I think it looks good."

Concubine Zhuang knew that she was really not picky about dim sum, so she just let it go.After chatting for a while, Concubine Li sent off the fifth prince and concubine, "Didn't you say that the third elder brother in your mansion was sick again when you came here? The medicine king Bodhisattva here is the most efficacious. Go and recite the Heart Sutra twice." .”

The fifth prince and concubine thought of the depressed look of the fifth prince in the past two days, so she nodded and left the main hall.Concubine Zhuang has also been here many times. Concubine Zhuang and Concubine Li discussed together when choosing the location of the small Buddha hall.After waving to the court lady who brought her, the fifth prince and concubine stepped into the Buddhist hall.

Yun Ling was standing in front of the table copying scriptures.Concubine Zhuang actually does not restrict where she is during the day, but she is currently in charge of the Buddhist hall. If she is not there when Concubine Zhuang worships the Buddha, it will appear that she is too careless about her errands.When I suddenly saw someone walking in outside at this time, I couldn't help but feel strange in my heart.

Yun Ling took a closer look, this man had a round face and almond eyes, with a gentle demeanor.Wearing a long gauze dress embroidered with poppy flowers on a powder foundation, with a layer of moon-white organdy on the outside, light purple patterns are rusted on the wide hem, her hair is simply pulled up in a pony bun, and a few gemstones are dotted on it. The main hair accessory is a golden step shaker with emerald green cloud pattern, when the lotus steps are moved lightly, the step shaker slightly shakes, but there is no sound at all.

During this time, the relationship between Yunling and Baisha became better and better, and she also heard about the nobles who often came to Changchun Palace.Seeing that this concubine was in her twenties in attire and attire, she immediately guessed that this was the Fifth Prince's Concubine, and quickly squatted down to salute.

The fifth concubine was stunned when she saw Yun Ling. Before coming here today, Concubine Li told her that the main purpose of coming to Concubine Zhuang was to comfort Concubine Zhuang.They dare not say anything about the saint, they can only say that the Zhen family is a bit too arrogant.As for Concubine Zhuang's recent transfer of a female historian from Chuxiu Palace, it is naturally not worth mentioning in front of such a big event as the Three Princesses.

Seeing her hesitation, Yunling said in a low voice, "Mr. Shi Miao, I have seen the fifth prince and concubine."

Only then did the fifth prince suddenly realize that there was no smoke from burning incense all the year round in the Buddhist hall, but it smelled lightly of flowers instead.The fifth prince and concubine checked carefully, only to find that there was a large white-bottomed pastel water purification bowl in front of the Buddha, and a few lotuses in the bowl were in perfect bloom.

This small Buddhist hall was originally the ear room of the west hall of Changchun Palace, so it is inevitable that the lighting is not good.When Yun Ling chose the furniture, she discarded the thick and stable red sandalwood, and used Xiangfei bamboo and huanghuali for the tables and chairs, which made the room feel less dull than the Buddhist halls.

Sure enough, it is the character that Concubine Zhuang will appreciate!The fifth prince and concubine showed some interest, "Are you in charge of the small Buddhist hall at Concubine Zhuang's place?"

Yunling nodded in agreement.While speaking, the fifth prince and concubine had already walked to Yunling's table, carefully perusing the Buddhist scriptures she had copied.

Yun Ling felt a little nervous, and as the Fifth Prince frowned, she couldn't help but wonder if she was thinking wrong. The scriptures copied with a brush seemed passable to me, but in the eyes of those who grew up with calligraphy in small letters, I couldn't help but wonder. This word is still invisible.

"Your characters are in good shape. What kind of copybooks did you get when you were a child?" The Fifth Prince picked up the rice paper on the case and looked at it for a long time before asking.

Uh, when she was a child, she practiced Mr. Qi Gong's copybook, can she say it now?Yun Ling could only say, "When I was young, I didn't need to study hard, but I learned a few words with my husband. I occasionally went to the book store to buy books. I saw which copybooks were well written, and then I took them and wrote them. I made a few hastily, and made my mother laugh."

This is not a lie, that's how the original owner came here.

In this era, even in high-school families, there are not a few girls who cannot read.And those who have taught girls to read and write rarely have any requirements for girls' handwriting, just write neatly horizontally and vertically, so looking for copybooks is also one of the boudoir pleasures of girls from poetry and calligraphy families.

The fifth prince and concubine clapped her palms and smiled, "Sure enough, there are good folk copybooks, so there's no need to worry about famous calligraphers."

Yun Ling felt relieved, and only heard the Fifth Prince Concubine continue, "Only when you write, you don't use force, but the place where the muscles and bones should stand out is like a drawing, with form but no spirit." Saying this, the Fifth Prince Concubine became interested , reached out and rolled up his sleeves, picked up a pen and dipped in the ink, "Look at how hard my wrist is when I write."

Yunling was in a daze, and saw that the Fifth Prince's concubine had already neatly taken the blank rice paper placed aside, pressed it down with a paperweight, picked up a pen and wrote the words "Mahamuqian", then raised her head and asked, "I see ?"

... You can see that it is a god, right?Yunling carefully recalled the movements of the fifth prince's concubine's wrist just now, and tentatively wrote it down.Her attention was all on her wrist, she put down the pen and looked at what was written, and she was stunned: What kind of ghostly talisman is this?

The fifth prince and concubine didn't take it seriously, "Your way of exerting force is right, you won't be able to notice it on paper at first, just practice more." As she spoke, she didn't put down her pen, but asked Yunling to concentrate on watching, Pick up the pen and continue writing.

In fact, in terms of calligraphy, copying scriptures is of little benefit to practicing calligraphy.Most of the characters in the Buddhist scriptures are not commonly used characters, so copying them might as well copy the surnames of hundreds of families.But the fifth concubine thought that Miao Nvshi was in charge of the Buddhist hall at Concubine Zhuang's place, and it was not easy to practice calligraphy by copying scriptures. If she had written hundreds of surnames, what reason would Miao Nvshi use to practice?I simply copied the Medicine King Bodhisattva Heart Sutra from the beginning.

As soon as she put down her pen, Concubine Zhuang sighed, "You child is too honest."

The fifth concubine looked up, and it turned out that Concubine Zhuang had brought Concubine Li into the small Buddhist hall. Seeing that the fifth concubine didn't even sit on a chair, she actually stood up and copied the entire volume of the Medicine King Bodhisattva Heart Sutra for the concubine of the house. Concubine Zhuang Not much has happened yet, Li Bin's heart has already softened into a ball.Seeing that the fifth prince finally put down her pen, Concubine Zhuang also spoke first, and quickly echoed, "My daughter-in-law is not boasting, but treats people with sincerity." She said, holding the fifth prince's hand, "Good boy , brother and sister both fell ill when they were young. Seeing that you are so devout, Medicine King Bodhisattva will surely bless the third brother to be healthy when he grows up."

Yunling stood behind Concubine Zhuang and smiled at the fifth concubine.While agreeing to Li Bin's words, the fifth prince and concubine couldn't help but lower her head and smile when she met Shang Yunling's gaze.

Or to say that the iron-clad friendship between people comes from doing bad things together. Although the fifth prince concubine and Yun Ling did not do bad things together this time, they couldn’t stand Concubine Zhuang and Li Concubine’s overstating the fifth prince concubine’s behavior. It seems that this praise is a bit guilty.Yunling watched the name on the head of the fifth prince and concubine transition from yellow to fluorescent green in a short while, and thought to herself that this friendliness had almost caught up with the result of her concentrating on brushing Concubine Zhuang during this period of time.

After the fifth concubine went back, Yunling stayed in the Buddhist hall and copied the Medicine King Bodhisattva's Heart Sutra for a few days. She didn't feel it when she was young, but after copying it many times, she found that the method of using the pen taught by the fifth concubine was really practical, but it was only for the strength of the wrist. The requirements are not small, and it is quite tiring to copy a volume of scriptures.

So Yunling simply copied half a volume of scriptures every morning when Concubine Zhuang worshiped the Buddha, and stayed in the back room when it was hot at noon, doing needlework with Xiaoyan, sharing the latest news in the palace, and then going to Concubine Zhuang in the afternoon Fun there.

Since Xiaoyan moved to the Changchun Palace, she has really become more lively. Now that she and Yunling have moved to the Changchun Palace, she dares to talk to people when she usually comes in and out.This day Yunling came in from the outside and saw Xiaoyan sitting in the room blankly, not knowing what she was thinking, she didn't even notice that she had already walked over.

Yunling opened the food box, and saw that today's food is not bad, the four dishes are a stir-fried water bamboo, a fungus yam, a cold cucumber, a poached chicken, and soup.When the food was taken out of the food box and put on the table, there was a slight "click", Xiaoyan came back to her senses, and brought out the remaining sour radish bone soup with embarrassment, "Nv Shi called me and said Well, how do you do this yourself?"

"I see you dozed off with your eyes open. Why, have you worked too much these days, are you too tired?" Yunling couldn't help joking when she saw her come back to her senses.

In fact, even though they received the same monthly money, a court lady like Xiaoyan who served the female historian personally was much better than a real rough envoy in the Changchun Palace, at least she didn’t have to stand guard against the sun, so Xiaoyan reacted quickly and shook it vigorously. shook his head.Seeing that Yunling was still smiling and not angry, he realized that Yunling was joking.

"I went to Yongping Lane to fetch water just now. I heard that His Highness the Crown Prince is in a bad mood recently. The East Palace killed two rough envoy maids and one rough envoy eunuch. They must have been carried out by now." Xiaoyan It's not sad, but it's inevitable that some rabbits will die and foxes will be sad. For a rough envoy like her, let alone being promoted, it is a blessing to die safely in the palace.

It has not been a short time for Yunling to travel here. Although she is in the palace when she opens her eyes, to her, the emperor and prince seem to be just symbols far away in the sky.Although I know that person has the right to kill, but I have never seen it with my own eyes. It is difficult to have a real sense of this kind of thing, so I just patted Xiaoyan on the shoulder and said, "Let's eat."
