Your sufferings and gifts in life have actually been marked with a price by God. It was only in her later years that Concubine Xie Xie Xiaoman came to understand this truth.
Xie Xiaoman is from Luzhou, born in the first year of Jianyan, and her ancestors were also heroic, but in her generation, her father was a commoner, and the family was separated early, and it has already fallen into decline.
It was just a Jingkang disaster. The chaos in the north and south of the Huaihe River seemed to have caused the world to collapse. Common people like them had the most insecure life, but they were also the least eye-catching. Life and death depended on fate. At least their whole family was safe.
He waited until the officials regained the old capital, and then Yaoshan won a great victory.
Therefore, Xie Xiaoman knew that Guan Jia was a great person since she was a child, but she never thought that her life would have any intersection with him. Because her parents always said that she had a weird personality. They hoped that she could be a lady, but Xie Xiaoman
Xiaoman himself was also very puzzled. Only after he grew up did he realize that if his nature was like this, how could he be forced to come over?
Because the Jin soldiers once massacred the Central Plains and caused harm to many places, the country was short of a large number of officials. Xie Xiaoman's father, who had studied in a state school, was also recruited to the county government and served as a prisoner. He had no worries about food and clothing, and could still provide for him.
It’s time for my brother to study.
Xie Xiaoman also likes reading, and likes to listen to her brother reading "The Sapphire Case" by the official family. If she is running around in her own fields, digging wild vegetables in the fields in the spring, and catching carp in the paddy fields at her subordinates, she
Her childhood seems to be linked to this piece of land. Her brother is sitting on the ridge of the field. Reading to her would be even better.
Although she was often scolded by her mother for playing like this, she didn't take it seriously. Maybe as her parents said, she was born with a weird temper.
Around the tenth year of Jianyan, the imperial court encouraged women to study, and Huiji bureaus in various places began to hire a large number of female officials. After all, the Xie family's parents loved their only daughter and tried their best to get him to go to a girls' school in the state.
, but his father has been nothing more than a county magistrate for many years. Xie Xiaoman has been pained and happy since he was a student. He happily learned from books to travel in a world he had never been to, and understood the righteousness of the sages.
Stop hitting and bullying.
She has learned to resist, but the rules of this world are that if you are in a low position, you will always be retaliated against. But even so, Xie Xiaoman is not afraid. Unless you kill me, I will never be done with you.
In this way, she suffered no big losses but continued to suffer small losses.
Fortunately, in the peaceful and prosperous age, even the daughter of a high-ranking official did not dare to actually kill someone and silence them.
She can actually tolerate such days. Xie Xiaoman just wants to study hard, pass the assessment of the Huiji Bureau, and become a stewardess. Her hobby is to do some crafts with her good friends and watch fruits being pressed into juice.
, traveled through half of Hefei County to deliver it to my father in the county government office, and he would always praise himself for being smart.
But there was something she couldn't bear. The one hundred acres of thin farmland in her family was assigned to her by her ancestors. In order to seek an official position for her eldest uncle, her aunt-in-law actually joined forces with the clan to steal the only one hundred acres of land from her family.
Her father's salary was not high to begin with, and he and his eldest brother wanted to study at home. How could they live without this hundred acres of thin farmland? Xie Xiaoman's stubbornness broke out again. She and her brother went to reason together, but the county's
Tai Zun was an old-fashioned person, but he accused his brother of being unfilial to his grandmother and revoked his qualification as a member of the family. Both Xie's parents said forget it, but Xie Xiaoman refused to accept it. They both said that they would endure it for a while, but there would be no way to survive if they endured it? She went again
She asked her only good friend in the county school, Liu Luoluo, grand-niece of Mr. Liu Ji and Mr. Liu, to find out that this field was dedicated to the Prince of Jiujiang by her aunt, saying that it was to seek an official position for her eldest uncle. She wanted to go.
Chen Qing, doesn't it mean that the Prince of Jiujiang County is the eldest grandson of the great Zongzheng of the country, and he only has such a title because his father died for the country?
Liu Luoluo was very doubtful, "Xiao Man, will these dignitaries listen to you? Today's officials strictly control land, and they won't refund it to you even if you pay."
Xie Xiaoman gritted his teeth and said: "Be polite before fighting. If they are unreasonable, then I will file a complaint. I don't believe there is no justice in the Song Dynasty. Haven't I heard that today's officials pay most attention to the construction of the legal system?"
It can be imagined that Xie Xiaoman's trip to the Jiujiang County Prince was very unpleasant. The noble prince who heard that a crazy woman came to his door came over to see her in person. When he saw how embarrassed she was, he was quite teasing, "If you can't get rid of the trouble at home, why not come to my house?"
Be a maid."
Later, before she could figure out a way, she "encountered" the prince and his good brothers several times on the street. The meaning was quite clear, but she couldn't bear it because she had offended the prince of Jiujiang and her father.
I can't keep my job, and my family is really going to suffer from the northwest wind.
Besides, the whole of Luzhou knows that the emperor is about to pass through Huainan Road and enter Shuzhong to settle the people. Everyone in Luzhou is busy receiving it. Who will care about such a trivial matter like sesame seeds and mung beans?
Just when Xie Xiaoman was preparing to open a juice shop in partnership with Liu Luoluo to support the family, the prince of Jiujiang County actually sent someone to his home to ask for her to be his concubine.
After all, the Xie family was also a family of scholars, so how could their parents agree? But the Prince of Jiujiang County had always been favored by the officials, so they couldn't afford to offend him, so they had no choice but to send Xiao Man to his uncle's house in Zhongli County overnight.
But Xiaoman escaped because his parents' plan was that after Xiaoman left, he would directly marry his twenty-year-old cousin who was still doing nothing.
Xie Xiaoman knows that she is a mantis trying to block the car. But if you have been oppressed and beaten by others for a long time, if you don't become submissive, you will be extremely stubborn. She is obviously the latter.
At that time, he only felt that life was in despair. In the middle of the night, the moon was dim, and she was walking on Beng Mountain aimlessly. She felt that she was really ridiculous. She obviously wanted to return to the fields to make plans for the whole family, but her parents might only see her as
Zuo is a troublemaker, and she didn't do it, but pursuing justice and justice in this world is wrong? Then why does the book my brother read say "Establish a heart for the world and a life for the people"?
Maybe she's being hypocritical, she just doesn't like her life to be choked by fate. Obviously, most other people's daughters live like this all their lives. But why is he different? It's as if the soul comes from another world.
!
Maybe fate didn't want to choke her anymore, so it shot her an arrow directly, which flew past her head and messed up her bun.
At this time, the morning light was dim, and she heard someone coming from a distance and said: "Zhengfu, hurry over and have a look. She seems to be a little lady, is she okay?"
Xie Xiaoman finally turned around, and through the sparse sunlight, he saw that it was a middle-aged man in Hufu, with a bunch of soldiers behind him. However, Xie Xiaoman's first impression was that this man was quite handsome.
.
Forget it, she is a weirdo to begin with.
But no wonder, Xie Xiaoman felt that all the luck of her sixteen years in life had been spent here. Because she was walking on a mountain path. It was beyond the defense range of Yuqian Banzhi, and she actually let the Zhao Guan family, who was excellent in archery, kill her with an arrow.
The little girl has her hair disheveled.
Then all the problems she encountered were no longer problems.
Perhaps because of the Xie family's affairs, Zhao Guan's family stayed in Luzhou for a few more days. They repeatedly summoned pro-people officials from various places to emphasize the importance of legal construction and the necessity of clan separation. They even uttered a famous saying in later generations, "Be an official
If you don’t make decisions for the people, it’s better to go home and sell sweet potatoes.”
The Xie family's parents were extremely grateful, but when Xie Xiaoman was taken to Xingzai and chatted with Guan Guan for two afternoons, they felt that they could no longer stand still. The meaning was too obvious.
Liu Luoluo came to her and said, "Do you know what the county is saying about you now?"
Xie Xiaoman answered very calmly, "It's just that the official has taken a fancy to me and wants me to be her wife."
"Is it possible that you are willing? Isn't your ambition to make a career like Zhang Lian and Junjun Zhang, the president of the Huiji Bureau, or to teach and educate people like the layman Yi An?"
Xie Xiaoman smiled a little sarcastically, "If the officials hadn't made the decision, I'm afraid my life would have been ruined. It's just that I didn't know that the sky was high and the earth was high. Are you still daydreaming like this now?"
She didn't want to destroy the innocence of her only friend, so she didn't say a word. If the official family had even the slightest interest in you, could they tolerate your rejection?
Zhao Jiu will definitely cry out if he hears this. He is quite interesting, but if you don't want to, I will argue with a little girl. Otherwise, you are just a bitch. When I was a college student, I saw in costume dramas
Calling it freedom and equality feels pretentious, but after coming here for seventeen years, I actually saw girls who dared to resist the injustice of fate, and I thought it was quite cute.
Therefore, when Zhao Guan's family left Luzhou, there was a Xie Cairen beside them. Countless people who grew up with Xie Xiaoman no longer said that she had a weird temperament, but only regretted that they did not get close to Mrs. Xie more.
Because Madam Xie had told her parents before she left, "Since I serve the official family, then our family is my cousin, and we are not allowed to show off anything in the future. Don't let me know that you are not in favor of others and have promised me anything."
I will never admit it." After a pause, he added, "My brother has regained his honor and is going to take part in the imperial examination. If you are not afraid of injuring him, you don't have to listen to me, an unfilial daughter."
The parents only felt that their daughter was as stubborn and stubborn as ever, but they no longer dared to talk back to this noble man from the Tian family, so they had no choice but to say yes.
On the other hand, Yang Yizhong couldn't help but nod his head after hearing the report, feeling that this was an understanding concubine.
However, Xie Xiaoman still couldn't follow Zhao Guan's family to see the scenery of Bashu. It wasn't that she was too charming and the king stopped going to court in the morning, but that the famous Duke Lu in the court was seriously ill.
Returned.
The Imperial Palace of Yanjing was magnificent and spacious. Xie Cairen was arranged to enter the Yuhua Palace. He first had to pay his respects to Concubine Wu and Concubine Pan Xian. The former was fine, but Concubine Xian was almost sour and jealous. "My sister is a member of the official family after she ascended the throne.
The first concubine I choose, I don’t know how many people will fawn over me in the future, I’m afraid we, old people, won’t be able to get along with each other.”
Although Xie Xiaoman was stubborn, she was not a fool. She was new here, so of course she endured it. But she soon discovered that what Pan Fei said was not entirely wrong. At least, there were many people who came to curry favor with her.
But she never had regular meetings. She didn't want to cause trouble, and she had such a temper. When Zhao Guanjia was exhausted, he asked her to beat her back and praised her style. However, "You are new here, so you don't have to worry about offending others!"
Xie Xiaoman thanked him for studying since he was a child, "As long as I don't offend the officials, what can others do about me?"
Zhao Guanjia clicked his tongue in surprise, but said: "That's all for others. Pengju has never given anyone a big gift in his life. His second son's wife is the biological sister of the Prince of Jiujiang. I'm afraid that you will do this because you have a grudge. Just give me one."
Save face, don’t embarrass him.”
What else could Xie Xiaoman say, it was just that she was a little cold in her heart, but she quickly adjusted herself. Could it be that you entered the palace sincerely, and if you get something, you must also give something, so she took the initiative to express some goodwill through the eldest princess, that's all.
.
But maybe the imperial concubine is too virtuous and the wise concubine is too noisy. She is very popular as a little lady who is a little country and lively, loves to read story books and loves to do things by herself. Anyway, the Zhao family likes them, and they can really follow them all in one afternoon.
She taught her how to improve the juicing hammer.
Therefore, whether it was the children of Zhao Guan's family or the important officials of the imperial court, no matter what they felt in their hearts when they met her, they all respected her on their faces.
But there are some things that Xie Jieyu cannot control. In the eighteenth year of Jianyan, King Shen Lu Haowen passed away.
In the 21st year of Jianyan's reign, former Prime Minister Li Gang passed away.
In the 22nd year of Jianyan's reign, Zhao Zichen, the most capable official in flood control in the dynasty, died of exhaustion in office.
In the twenty-fifth year of Jianyan's reign, Prime Minister Zhao Ding, who had been in charge of the country for twenty years, retired and returned to his hometown. He died of illness on his way home shortly after.
…
Whenever they say farewell to these important ministers, Zhao Guan's family will always feel particularly helpless and sad. After all, they are all people who have experienced hardships with him and overcome many difficulties. Their love is unparalleled by those who come later. For this reason, he has one or two
Tian didn't want to talk, but occasionally he could drink some of the drinks she prepared.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Therefore, the King of Jingsai County also said: "The quality of Lady Lan's heart is far beyond what we and other rough people can match. Please comfort the officials, he
The dragon body is the foundation of the country."
She couldn't hold it back and told the truth, "Prince Yang, you can't even persuade the officials, how can I possibly do so?"
Yang Yizhong was speechless for a moment.
Many years later, the thoughtful and thoughtful Prince of Jingsai County also left. Concubine Xie De, an acquaintance of many years, sighed a little when she heard this, but she thought it was okay. Prince Yang knew too many secrets of the official and royal families. If he walked in
After joining the official family, he still doesn't know what will be waiting for him. Presumably a smart person like him also knows this.
But even she did not expect that Yang Yizhong's death would have such a big impact on the official family. Xie Xiaoman saw with his own eyes that the man who had served for decades was aging at a speed visible to the naked eye. He gradually became deaf and dazzled, and even
Can't remember things clearly.
In the forty-fourth year of Jianyan's reign, the crown prince Zhao Xu was passed down from the Zhao official family. To avoid taboo in the world, the new emperor changed his name to Zhao Chang.
After retiring, the Supreme Emperor became more and more willful. He was the one who moved the city, but he insisted on living in Bianjing, the capital of China, for a few years. Even the new officials knelt down in front of him and did not stop his old father, who had been frivolous all his life. He could only invite the Supreme Emperor.
Take good care of your concubine.
For this reason, I wanted to offer favor to the Xie family's children, but as always, Xie Xiaoman declined.
That's right. The thing that Xie Xiaoman was most praised by foreign ministers in her life was that she never sought any power or wealth for her family. Even Wu Yu, who was promoted to the Queen Mother, could not compare with her in this regard.
Who could have known that this was actually a woman's last insistence?
The scenery of Bianjing is also very good. The amazing thing is that Zhao Jiu's spirit improved a lot after he came back. Princess Zhao Junyou of Yanling took her daughter back to the palace to visit. He also talked about returning to the old capital after the Battle of Yanling.
At that moment, Xie Xiaoman felt as if there was light on his body, and the young emperor who brought his family and country back from the ashes remained in time.
Xie Xiaoman thought this was good, until one day Zhao Jiu asked her: "Do you regret following me in this life?"
Xie Xiaoman was stunned, "What did the Supreme Emperor say?"
"Didn't you always want to be like Zhang Shuyi (posthumous name of Zhang Lian) when you were a child? Later, you handed Liu Luoluo your handkerchief and went to Nanyang to open a girls' school. But because of me, you have been trapped in this deep palace for the rest of your life!" Zhao Jiu
Know everything.
Xie Xiaoman was startled, then shook his head seriously and said, "Do you remember Concubine Pan Xian? When she was dying, I went to see her. She said that she wanted too much in her life, but her virtue was not worthy of her.
Everything I had gained has been lost. I only survived when I met an official. I got to enjoy the glory, give birth to Shen Wangxin, and study the things I like for a lifetime. What else can I do?"
Yes, her life is not perfect, but she is content.
After Zhao Jiu heard this, he didn't speak for a long time, as if he was thinking about something, but under the setting sun, the two emperors and concubines said nothing more.
