Guar Jiayanrong couldn't help covering her face and crying, her voice choked with sobs and said: "Everyone knows that the lovers in "The Purple Hairpin" eventually got married, but in fact it was just a tampering by Tang Xianzu's writing! Huo Xiaoyu was born in a brothel, how can there be a decent family?
Do you want to take her as your wife?"
Concubine De was also surprised by the behavior of noble Guarjia, but she also agreed with her words and said with emotion: "This is a matter of course! Although Huo Xiaoyu is good, it is just a matter of buying her as a concubine and marrying her as a wife.
Li Yi's reputation has been ruined for his whole life! Hey, he refused to marry the good-looking prefect's daughter, but he insisted on marrying a brothel prostitute!"
Guar Jiayan tried his best to smile, and said bitterly: "The Story of Purple Hairpin originated from the "Biography of Huo Xiaoyu" in the Tang Dynasty, and the ending was tampered with by Tang Xianzu. In the original work, Li Yi vowed to the moon again and again: "March in the next spring,
Welcoming a beautiful woman, we will reunite in Zheng County and never be separated.' But for the sake of her future, she followed her parents' orders and married Mrs. Lu. Since then, she has prospered, but Huo Xiaoyu died in depression." There was a feeling of nostalgia in her words.
I can't help feeling sad.
Concubine De nodded and said in approval: "This is so good! Good people and bad people do not marry. Although Huo is an upright official, she is still a singer. If you marry such a woman, do you still have a future? The man should be your future planner!"
Although Wen Xi had never heard of these plays, she still knew the stories in them, so she smiled and said: "Tang Xianzu prefers lovers. The Romance of the West Chamber is also the story of Zhang Sheng and Cui Yingying's lovers and finally getting married. I remember that "The Romance of the West Chamber" also comes from
According to the "Biography of Yingying" written in the Tang Dynasty, Zhang Sheng "began to make trouble and finally abandoned her". In order to have a career in the officialdom, he married Wei Shi, the daughter of the crown prince's Taibao. Later generations called Zhang Sheng "the first person to be unfaithful and unlucky".
Only then did Tang Xianzu rewrite "The Romance of the West Chamber"."
Ping Guiren smiled softly, pursed his lips and said: "It can be seen that this play of Tang Xianzu can only be viewed as a play, not as real! If everyone follows suit and marries girls from brothels, won't the world be in chaos?
"
Guar Jiayanrong sighed longly: "Yes??? If you are born in a brothel, you can be considered lucky as a concubine, but most of them are just outlaws."
Wen Xi was startled, vaguely remembering that Yan Rong's biological mother was just an outsider. Later, because the main wife had no children, Yan Rong was brought into the mansion to raise her. It was a pity that her mother was so beautiful and unlucky that she was able to enter the mansion with great difficulty, but
She died suddenly and suddenly. Although she was buried as a concubine, her appearance was recorded at the knees of her legitimate mother.
After listening to the play all morning, Angelo hadn't finished painting yet. Wen Xi felt sleepy and said: "When the painting is done, just ask someone to send it to Qingfengchi Pavilion." He looked at the red circles under his eyes again.
Guarjia spoke highly of her appearance and said, "How about you, noble Guarjia, come and sit somewhere in my palace?"
Guar Jiayanrong hurriedly said yes and followed Wenxi all the way to Qingfengchi Pavilion. Wenxi asked casually: "Which courtyard do you live in now?"
Guarjia replied: "I and Su agreed to live together in Yinfangzhai."
Wen Xi groaned. The place of Yinfangzhai was a bit small, but the location was pretty good. It was near the center of the palace, so it was quite elegant. She asked someone to move the embroidery pier for her, had some refreshments together, and said, "Today
Listening to Kunqu Opera, your feelings are a bit too great. I also know a little bit about your origin???"
Guar's beautiful words immediately burst into tears and said: "The imperial concubine is not an outsider. I have nothing to hide! My concubine's mother was indeed a prostitute in a brothel, and she is no different from Huo Xiaoyu! So there is
It touches my heart!"
"My concubine's mother is an upright official in Jinan Mansion. She was favored by Amma and agreed to take her as a concubine, so her mother happily followed him! Unexpectedly, the eldest lady refused, and the old lady did not want to let the brothel girl
Such as the Guarjia family's mansion! Amma could only place E Niang in Zhuangzi outside Jinan City. Until she had me, my mother was sad every day, shedding tears, and her appearance gradually became worse than before, so Amma gradually
She has become indifferent to us mother and daughter!" As she spoke, tears rolled down her face, showing no signs of sadness.
"It wasn't until my concubine was five years old that the eldest lady came to her door in person! It turned out that she had two sons, and her only daughter had died early, so she told her mother that she was willing to take me into the house and treat me as the direct descendant of the Guarjia family.
My princess will raise me! Mother is overjoyed. Although she cannot enter the palace, she hopes that I can be recognized, otherwise a daughter born from an outside wife will not be able to marry into a good family!"
"But, but -" Guar Jiarong choked with sobs, "The eldest lady said that I can only be her daughter! I was still young at the time and didn't understand what the eldest lady meant! The eldest lady only said that I would give birth to my mother.
I thought about it carefully and then left! The night when the eldest lady left, my mother committed suicide by hanging from a beam! Then, the maid and concubine were taken back to the mansion by the eldest lady, and that’s where we are today!”
When Wen Xi heard this, she couldn't help but sigh. Yan Rong's biological mother was indeed a person who loved her daughter deeply. In order to give her daughter a good future, Sanchi Bailing killed herself!
"Then how do you plan to live in the future?" Wen Xi asked. Yanrong had never competed for favor since she entered the palace. Kangxi's favor towards her was also light, far from being compared with Cao Guiren and Ping Guiren.
Yanrong smiled bitterly and said: "How else can I live? I just want to be safe and secure and live out my remaining life in the palace!"
Wen Xi nodded and said: "Concubine Rong has a gentle temperament. You are a member of her palace. It is not difficult for you to be stable."
While they were talking, Kangxi opened the curtain and came in, "What are you sisters talking about in whispers?"
Wen Xi and Guar Jiayanrong hurriedly stood up and saluted. Wen Xi smiled and said, "Why didn't the emperor ask someone to report him? He scared me!"
Kangxi chuckled, his eyes fell on Guarjia, and asked doubtfully: "Why are you still crying and wiping away tears?"
Wen Xi said with a smile, "I just watched "The Purple Hairpin" at Yunweixian Pavilion, and the words touched my heart."
"Yanrong?" Kangxi hesitated, "It turns out that Guarjia's maiden name is Yanrong! It's a good and elegant name!"
Guar Jiayanrong hurriedly blessed herself, lowered her head and said: "Your Majesty, thank you for your praise. Yanrong was the name given to me by my concubine, E Niang. Originally Ama named my concubine Nianxiang, but E Niang said it was not dignified enough, so she changed it.
"Nianxiang, missing Du Xiangru. Du Xiangru is the name of her biological mother. And her biological mother once gave her a nickname, called Niang. She is willing to be the one who loves her husband, and she will be infatuated with no regrets in her life.
One, one for two people in a lifetime, but it is a pity that these Du Xiangru could not get it.
Kangxi hummed and said: "Nian Xiang is good, it is much more affectionate than Yan Rong!"
After hearing Guar's beautiful words, he suddenly looked shy and lowered his head.
A smile appeared on the corner of her gentle mouth. Did she really just want to live a peaceful life? So she said with a smile: "Nianxiang, it seems that I am missing someone. I don't know that Yan Rong has such a maiden name.
Woolen cloth!"
Guar Jiayan's heart suddenly tightened, and she lowered her eyes and said, "Eniang said it smelled like travel dust, so she wouldn't tell others." The Eniang she mentioned was obviously her aunt.
She smiled warmly and said, "I asked the small kitchen to make honey porridge today. It was originally to entertain Yan Rong. It's a coincidence that the emperor came here!"
Honey porridge is boiled with bijing rice, white sheep ghee and honey. According to the "Compendium of Materia Medica", it is beneficial to fatigue, moisturizes the skin, rejuvenates the internal organs, and regulates the blood vessels. It is an excellent tonic and is also good for pregnant women.
, women eat it mainly to moisturize the skin, plump the skin, and beautify the skin.
Guar Jiayanrong immediately smiled and said: "How does the noble concubine know that my concubine loves crispy honey porridge most?"
Wen Xi smiled: "What a coincidence, but I suddenly like that flavor. I didn't expect that Yan Rong also likes this flavor!"
Guar Jiayan said with a hint of reminiscence: "When I was a child, I suffered from blood deficiency, internal organ imbalance, and was very thin. My stomach and intestines were not very good. I would vomit after taking medicine. It was my wet nurse who made me cakes every day.
Honey porridge, this thing regulates the internal organs and blood vessels, and the body gradually recovers, and I have become accustomed to eating it. If there is no honey porridge that day, I am afraid that I will not be able to eat."
Listening to what she said, it should have happened after returning to Guarjia Mansion. Otherwise, how could a foreigner's daughter have such a good thing as butter? Ghee is extracted from cow's milk or goat's milk.
The process is complicated, and one pound of fresh milk can only produce a little bit of ghee. You need to boil the cow's milk or goat's milk in a pot over low heat three times, pour it into a basin, cool it down, wait for the dough to form a skin, remove the skin and fry it again to remove the oil residue.
Put it into the pot to make ghee. Aries ghee is the best ghee. It nourishes the five internal organs, replenishes qi and blood, and treats yin deficiency and labor heat. It is an excellent tonic.
The butter is slightly cold, so today's honey porridge is mixed with some finely grated ginger, which gives it a unique flavor. The Bijaponica rice is pleasantly green, smooth in the mouth, sweet but not greasy, fragrant but not greasy, and is a good porridge for health.
In the evening, I heard that Kangxi had summoned Guar Jiayanrong to attend his bed, and smiled warmly. She was the one who invited Yanrong to the Qingfengchi Pavilion, not Guar Jiayanrong who invited him. Kangxi suddenly saw the right person.
, what can be done? Yan Rong is a very dignified woman, and the weak posture she occasionally shows can impress men more than those women who are naturally weak. Compared with Cao Guiren, who was favored by Heping Guiren as soon as she entered the palace, she can be said to keep a low profile and bide her time.
It was a late strike. In the end, it was very successful. Yanrong was summoned by Kangxi only after he came to her Qingfengchi Pavilion. Others would only think that Wenxi could not sleep with him, so they introduced Yanrong to compete for favor! Therefore,
Guar Jiayanrong is implicitly marked by the gentle party. Anyone who wants to deal with Guar Jiayanrong must consider whether he will offend Concubine Wen Xi behind her!
Today, Yanrong met Kangxi who happened to be here. It has to be said that it largely depends on luck and the luck of waiting. Such luck is not difficult to get, but it requires a lot of patience. Guar Jiayanrong happened to be
She was a patient person, so she succeeded. The timing of success was also particularly good. At this time, Kangxi was neglecting Concubine De, Cao, and Ping Guiren. It was a good time for her to be favored!
In the next few days, as expected, Kangxi occasionally came to Wenxi's place for lunch during the day, and most of the people he invited at night were nobles from Gualjia. This made countless concubines jealous, but they had no choice but to say that Yanrong was the noble concubine Wenxi.
Cousin, her favor was regarded as Wen Xi's "hand-picked" favor. Naturally, Wen Xi's "hand-picked" trusted concubine, and she was very diligent in coming to Qingfengchi Pavilion. She also often watched Kangxi come when Kangxi was not around, and treated Wen Xi well.
