The thoughtfulness of his beloved wife and the understanding of his children made Liu Chang secretly swear in his heart that he would serve the prince well in the future and never let his wife and children live the same miserable life again. I have never had to eat vegetables, pickles, not to mention meat, or even two pieces of tofu every month. My wife doesn’t need it either. She wears a skirt for three or four years and is reluctant to change it.
However, after breakfast, Liu Chang found that maybe his breakfast was better today. His wife's complexion is much stronger than before. The skin tone is also much moisturized. He no longer looked as haggard as before. Seeing his wife like this, Liu Chang was a little confused. Could it be that a meal of mutton has such an effect? Can you make your wife look so good?
But just when he opened his mouth to ask, he was nudged by his wife: "It's getting late, why don't you go to work quickly? Our house is a bit far from the palace, and you don't have an animal to travel with you. Yesterday It's been snowing for a long time and all night, so it may be difficult to walk on this road. If you are so procrastinating, if you arrive late, you will annoy the prince. All good things will go away. "
Hearing his wife's urging, Liu Chang did not dare to delay. After telling her not to forget to supervise his children's studies, Liu Chang left in a hurry. After Liu Chang left, Liu's wife looked at a pair of well-behaved children helping her clean up the dishes, told her daughter and brother to study hard, and then returned to the bedroom. When she woke up this morning, she found that she was not wearing a jacket and it was really uncomfortable like this.
Moreover, she had to endure the exhaustion while cooking in the morning, and her body felt somewhat uncomfortable, and there was still a slight pain in that part of the body. That bastard thing was too big. Even though I enjoyed it later, I also suffered some mistakes before. Now that I have finished my work, I feel a slight pain again. And the pain all over my body has not been relieved in any way. I have exhausted all my energy to deal with my husband.
Now she just wants to go back to bed and lie down for a while. I just didn't expect my considerate daughter to look at her mother who was a little uncomfortable and said softly: "Mom, are you sick? I seemed to hear your shouting last night, but it disappeared after a while, and the sky turned dark again. It's late, I didn't come over to see you. If you feel uncomfortable, just go and rest, don't worry, I will take care of your brother."
Her daughter's innocent words made Mrs. Liu's face turn red, and she even felt a little ashamed to face her children. He could only touch his daughter's head and tell her not to tell her father that she had been feeling uncomfortable since last night. So as not to make him worry about any mistakes happening again while running errands. On the other hand, he returned to the bedroom a little hastily and staggeringly.
She never thought that her daughter would hear the most shameful part of herself. Fortunately, my daughter didn't come out to see her, otherwise how could I face my child? After being lost for a long time, she finally regained her composure. She didn't know that her underwear had been taken away. He forced himself to look for his clothes, hoping to take a rest after putting them on. It's just that I've searched almost all the bedrooms, and I couldn't find it even when I went to the study.
After searching in every possible way, she couldn't find it, so she could only get another one and prepare to change it. But when she took off her clothes, she found that she was covered in hickeys. There are even two bright teeth marks on it in the plump area. This made her panic. After putting on her clothes hastily, she looked at the bracelet on her ankle, covered her face and cried softly again.
How can the traces on this body be eliminated in a day and a half? If her husband finds out, how should she explain herself? Should I tell my husband the truth? At the end of the day, Liu's wife felt restless and worried. But her heart was always worried, but she didn't think about this trouble. The man yesterday had already thought of it and took action to solve it for her.
In the evening, a eunuch brought a cart to Liu's house. Tell her that Mr. Liu was sent by the Crown Prince to the prefecture and county under Chang'an Prefecture to check the snow conditions. He probably won't be back in the next few days, so please don't worry. Mr. Liu is also loyal to the public, and the prince is very satisfied. I hereby reward you with ten pieces of silk and satin, thirty pieces of fine lamb skin from Ningxia Mansion, two gold and silver ingots each, and one thousand guan of money.
The fine Jiangnan rice costs twenty stones, and the fine noodles cost thirty stones. Two whole pigs and two whole sheep, twenty chickens, ducks and geese each, and thirty kilograms of white sugar. Two thousand catties of fine white frost charcoal. Each of the two children was given fifty guan of money, two pieces of silk and satin, and a sheepskin jacket covered with bright red silk. In addition, the prince also specially rewarded Mrs. Liu. In addition to a green fox fur jacket and five pieces of silk and satin.
There is also one in the original box. As for what was in the original box, they didn't know. This is because the original box was opened by Mrs. Liu who was designated by the Crown Prince to personally open it. In addition, there is a letter from Mr. Liu. After presenting the prince's reward, the eunuch turned around and left. After the eunuch left, he looked at the whole yard filled with things and the happy children.
The woman didn't say anything on the surface, but she couldn't help but let out a long sigh in her heart. She knew these things not so much because the prince was looking for Liu Chang's face, but because of that night last night. Now that he has given his family such a large reward, who has he become in his heart? Could it be that he is still thinking about continuing such a generous act in the future?
No, that can't happen anymore. I already felt sorry for my husband yesterday and could not continue. As a person with a family and a husband, that kind of thing cannot happen again. From now on, I must avoid him and never see him again. She was thinking wildly in her mind. It wasn't until her daughter called out softly that she woke up from her chaotic thoughts and turned around to cook for her child.
Although the crisis was over, there was no joy in her heart. I cooked a sumptuous dinner for my children, but I only took a few hasty bites. After putting her children to bed, she went back to her room and opened her husband's letter. That incident happened yesterday, and her husband was sent on a business trip today. It was impossible for her not to worry. What worries her most is that the prince will murder her husband for her own sake.
However, Liu Chang told her in the letter that it was snowing heavily in Chang'an Mansion this time. The prince was worried that in the states and counties below, some people would be killed or injured because of the snow crushing their houses. Now the prince doesn't really believe the report below, so he took the initiative to ask Ying to go to the prefectures and counties below to check. Although this trip is only a prefecture and county under Chang'an Prefecture, he will not be able to come back for at least ten days and a half.
Originally, the prince didn't want him to go, but he only agreed after he repeatedly asked. During the period when you are not at home, let her take care of herself and not be reluctant to eat or wear clothes. Don't worry about firewood all the time, it will make your home warmer. Looking at the familiar handwriting on the letter, she felt slightly relieved as she knew her husband's temperament and that he would be the first to encounter such a thing.
But she also knew that there must be the prince who was pushing the boat smoothly and giving conscious guidance. Why he didn't believe those officials, I'm afraid he did it intentionally. She knew her husband's temperament and had been struggling for ten years. Now he finally saw hope of getting ahead, so why not risk his life? Presumably, as soon as the prince said this, he was the first to sign up, so as to relieve the prince's worries.
This prince was so skillful that he sent his husband away almost calmly. It is estimated that the husband is still crying because of the prince's insight into people, and he is extremely grateful in his heart and is working hard for his life. Although my husband does not have much wealth, his temper is somewhat stubborn. But he can be regarded as a capable person, with equal talents and abilities, and a little bit of skill.
But he was fooled around by this shady prince who was almost younger than him. I really don’t know whether following this prince is a blessing or a curse. Thinking of this, the woman couldn't help but think of last night's chest, which was very broad and warm even though she was young. He sighed, hoping in his heart that even because of what happened last night, the prince would stop doing anything bad to his husband.
And for the sake of her husband being loyal and devoted to him, don't bother yourself anymore. After closing the letter in her hand and calming down a little, the woman's eyes fell on the round box beside her. She didn't intend to open it at first, but in the end she couldn't hold back her curiosity and opened the small round box. But he found that there was only a mandarin duck jade pendant, a concentric knot, and a note inside.
The note said "Yun Yi Shui", "Jade Shui Shuttle", "Dan Dan's clothes are thin and thin". Light frown and double snails. There are many autumn winds and gentle rain, and there are three or two banana trees outside the window. What can the night long people do? There is another sentence at the end: I miss you every day, but I don’t see you, and my tent is empty. I only hope that your heart will be like mine, and I will live up to my love. Looking at this note and the two little words expressing lovesickness on it, the woman couldn't help but blush.
The meanings expressed in these two poems are really a bit too explicit. As a person from a family of scholars, how could she not understand? I just felt a little moved in my heart, and then I couldn't help but smile bitterly. This combination of small words shows that the prince obviously does not want to let him go. But I have a husband and a pair of children, so I can't continue to be with him like this.
If the king seizes the wife of his minister, it will not only destroy his husband and himself, but also destroy him. Thinking of this, the woman finally made up her mind, picked up the concentric knot and the note, and threw them into the charcoal basin, hoping to completely burn these two things, as well as what happened last night. Just when I wanted to throw it away a few times, I hesitated, and finally didn't throw it away.
Holding the concentric knot and the note with the love poem on it, I hesitated for a long time, let out a long sigh, and carefully received it where my husband could not find it. But this night, she couldn't sleep. One moment was Huang Qiong's figure, and the other was her husband's figure, constantly moving back and forth in front of her. Occasionally, the feeling of last night that I had never experienced before came to my mind.
It wasn't until the night was already deep that she couldn't help but fall asleep after tossing and turning for a long time. Fortunately, in the next few days, Huang Qiong did not bother her again, which made her completely relieved. The hickeys and teeth marks that were once all over her body finally disappeared before her husband came back. However, while feeling relieved, there was also a slight feeling of depression in my heart. I don't know where it came from.
In fact, she didn't know that Huang Qiong had been thinking about her. But now the chiefs and leaders of the Tubo tribes in Qinghai have arrived in Xijing one after another. The two eminent monks from Tubo in Qinghai and the hinterland of Tubo also arrived in Xijing. At present, the Red Sect occupies the dominant position in Tubo Tantric Sect. However, in recent years, the White Sect has become increasingly prosperous, posing a great threat to the status of the Red Sect.
Since Huang Qiong issued an invitation letter in Ningxia, inviting eminent monks from the Bai Sect to come to Xijing to promote Buddhism. The Red Sect wanted to completely suppress the White Sect and maintain its position in Tubo. Although he did not receive an invitation letter because he was living in the interior of Tubo, in order to prevent the Bai Jiao from gaining the support of the imperial court. After receiving the news from the Red Sect temples around Qinghai Lake, eminent monks were also sent to attend the meeting overnight.
