Before taking the wine, she went to find the woman and bamboo to get drunk, but found that the woman was unwell

Back at the dormitory, I asked Ya Chang to tell him how to fatten the field. After listening to me, The chief said, "I have asked the weak to get rid of the wild grass in the field and go to the countryside to pick up branches and leaves. ”

"Ah!" I was surprised, "How do you know how to fatten the fields?" ”

"Have you forgotten that Hou Shang often asked me to go on inspections of the fields?"

"I know, but you're just going to patrol, not farming!"

"No, patrolling the fields is not just a matter of walking around and looking, but about whether the crops on the fields are growing well or not. At first, I didn't understand it, but once two pieces of land of the same size were collected with a lot of difference. Hou Shang asked me to find out the reason, and under the condition of excluding man-made people, I compared the soil quality of the two fields, and consulted the old farmers with rich cultivation experience, so that I knew the difference between the fertile and barren fields, and it was at that time that I knew the various methods of fertile fields. ”

"Then why don't you tell me?" I foolishly ran to ask the woman to win. I pouted.

Ya Chang folded his hands in grievance, "You didn't ask me either!" Approaching me, she whispered, "The woman must be glad that you can go and ask her in person, in the harem, you need a few good sisters, especially the queen woman who is valued by the king." ”

I glared at him, "What the hell did Your Father let you do?" ”

Ya Chang took a step back, got down on one knee, and looked loyal: "Protect the little master." ”

"Here we go again," I bent my fingers with my palms up, signaling him to get up, "get up!" In the future, if there is no formal occasion where outsiders are present, kneeling is not allowed. ”

Sub-long lips moved, and finally rose silently and retreated to the side. I saw a little starlight in his eyes soon dimmed again, and returned to the deference that a slave should have.

He likes me, right? I thought so, and my heart ached.

"Chief," I turned to him, my voice trembling, "do you like to roll your ears?" ”

Ya Chang looked at me in shock and said incoherently, "Why do you ask like this?" I..."

I didn't dare look him in the eye, like a lying child: "I want you to be happy." ”

"Protecting you is my happiness!" Sub-long chopping iron.

My heart jerked, and it hurt terribly.

"Good woman," the curly ear suddenly appeared at the door, "the dining room asked where to eat the food?" ”

"Hmmm... In the hall. "I try to keep the tone steady.

"I'll go tell the dining room." I don't know if I heard or not before I spoke to the chief. I wasn't afraid she would hear, I didn't want to hurt her.

After the curly ear retreated, the sub-chief quickly retreated: "I will go to see if they are weak and have they come back?" ”

"Go for it." I regretted Fang cai's emotionalization, and I didn't want to put him in a dilemma, so I deliberately pretended to be cold.

For the next few days, the chief led the weak to clean up the fields, and I went to the dormitories of each of the royal wives who lived in the palace one by one, and talked with them about wine and gossip, and made contact with them.

The first place to go was the women's dormitory, and I went in the afternoon with a wine bag. The women's bamboo's bedroom is the farthest away from my dormitory, in the last side of the harem, the harem dormitory is generally arranged in the order of entering the palace, the later into the palace, the more backward; and then there is the king's designation, of course, the queen's bedroom is fixed, the front of the harem is the front one, so I have to go through the entire harem to reach the women's bamboo's residence. In order not to attract attention, I wore a homely fine linen dress.

To my slight surprise, the courtyard door of the women's bamboo dormitory was wide open, and the courtyard was unusually quiet, and there was no one in sight.

I stood in the courtyard, hesitating at the door of the same wide open bedroom, or slowly moving forward, while shouting at a moderate volume: "Sister, good bamboo sister." ”

"Who?" The slightly hoarse voice of the woman's bamboo came from the bedroom.

I stopped and said, "Sister, it's me, good wife." ”

"Oh woman, come in." Perhaps I didn't expect that I would take the initiative to come to see her, and there was obviously a bit of surprise in her voice.

I went in and looked into the hall, and there was no one. I was about to go to the inner chamber when I heard someone in the northwest corner of the hall call me, "Good wife." ”

I looked at the sound after a little concentration, and suddenly found a white-haired woman curled up on a mattress. I was shocked and tentatively shouted, "Sister Nuzhu." ”

"Good woman, don't be afraid, I'm just a little unwell these two days, too lazy to freshen up." The woman sat up, pulled a seat from under the wall, and spread it next to the mattress, "Come, sit here, and talk with me for a while." ”

"Sister!" After the shock, it was more sad, and after a few days of not seeing, the woman was so weak. I quickly stepped over to her and sat down on her bunk, "Where is my sister unwell?" Is there medication? ”

"When you're older, it's normal to have a headache and brain fever, and you don't need medication." Woman Bamboo said lightly.

"But if you don't use medicine, how can it be good?" I asked worriedly.

"Since I was young, my body has not been good, it often hurts here and there, but I hardly use medicine, because I really feel that fate is determined by heaven, there is no need to artificially prolong, many years have come like this, am I not still alive?" ”

I took the hand of the woman and held it: "The high life of the sister is the blessing of the sister, the blessing of the king, and even more the blessing of the royal family, and the sister must also take care of her body!" "I was still in the hall, and I saw that there was a wooden table against the wall on the right side, and there were kettles and bowls on the few," I poured the bowl of water for my sister. Saying that he was going to get up, his hand inadvertently touched the wine bag around his waist, untied it, and sent the wine bag to the arms of the woman, laughing and saying, "The woman is good at wine, I originally wanted to get drunk here with my sister, but I didn't know that my sister was unwell, so this wine was first handed over to my sister for safekeeping, and when my sister was well, the woman was drunk with her sister." ”

The woman took the wine sac in her arms: "The woman wants to drink, and the woman is willing to accompany her." ”

I refused, "It's still my sister's body that matters." "Pour a bowl of water over and bring it to the lips of the woman.

The woman took two sips on the edge of the bowl and coughed softly: "Good woman, thank you!" ”

I took back the bowl and put it aside: "The woman has not done anything, and I dare not accept the thanks!" ”

The woman shook her head: "The queen personally fed the queen woman water, and the word thank you is not enough." ”

"Sister," I said sincerely, looking at the face of the woman who had lost all color, "sister, the woman at this moment is not the queen, but only the sister, the sister of the sister of the woman' bamboo sister." ”

"Alas!" The woman didn't say anything, just a meaningful sigh.

Instead of trying to figure out the underlying meaning of a sigh, I asked another question that also puzzled me: "Why don't you see your sister's servant?" ”

"She's busy in the backyard. There are several livestock in the backyard. The woman struggled to get up. I hurried to help her, and she smiled at me without refusing, "Didn't you say you were going to drink?" I went to the dining room to see if there was any appetizer? ”

"Sister, I don't want to drink anymore, don't go." I suddenly felt something was wrong, "What about the slaves?" How many slaves are there in the sister's house? ”

The woman gave me the wine sac and replied, "This sac is quite heavy, or you can hold it." ”

I took the wine sac and stared at the woman with pain: "Sister..."

The woman clapped my hand: "The older I get, the more I like to be quiet, and I only have one slave left."

"Ah!" I couldn't believe my ears, "How can a slave be enough?" Livestock, fields, food and living, yard care, how can a slave not be enough? ”

"The fields are not planted, there are only a few livestock, as long as the diet and living can be carried out, they will come by themselves, and the yard will be taken care of for a long time." There is enough for one, as long as there is a talking companion. "The woman does not think it is bitter, but there is a sense of comfort and self-sufficiency, and even a faint sweetness is faintly visible between the eyebrows."

"The great king is willing to let his sister suffer herself so much?" I may be abrupt, but I really want to know Wu Ding's attitude, from a young man to an old wife, how much love her husband can give her? Although this husband has many wives, there is only one first wife! If we are in the same boat with each other, will we be snubbed and ignored in exchange? Does he really only have interests in his heart, no feelings? If he is really so cold-blooded, how should I get along with him and how should I treat myself?

"The king's heart is filled with a great merchant, a royal family, not a harem, and not an old and decaying royal wife." The woman was carried by me and walked outside the hall. "The great king is bitter!"

"The Great King... bitter? "I placed the nine sacs on the side of the hall door when I stepped out of the threshold so that I could better support the rotten bamboo with both hands.

Nu Zhu crossed the threshold with a little difficulty and slowly moved in the corridor: "When the great king was young, he was ordered by his father to live in the wilderness, and there was no one else around him except me. But my body was extremely weak for several years. And we need to support ourselves, so the king is tired. "She said that her body was extremely weak, it should be the years when Wu Ding said that she lost her child, of course, I did not dare to mention her sad past, I could only listen to her silently." Every day the king went down to work at dawn, came back to cook when he was eating, went to work after eating, came back at sunset, and then went to work again, until the sun set. Sometimes I'm better and help with housework, but very little. It was under such difficult conditions that the king had been like a day for several years, and he had never cried out a bitter word inside and out. It's also great for me. ”

"So no matter how much the king ignores his sister, his sister can tolerate it?" I'm still slightly dissatisfied.

"No, good woman, you're wrong. The king did not ignore me, he was disembodied. Also, I am not tolerant, I am gladly accepting. ”

"No matter what the king does to you, you gladly accept it?"

"Yes."

I shook my head, speechless.

The woman patted me lovingly and took her hand, like a mother like a grandmother: "Good woman, with my age Enough to be your mother or even grandmother, but the truth is that we are both royal wives, and the king is our common husband, so it is better to say that we married the royal family than to the king." How can we talk about ordinary couples? "Now you should understand why in the wild, Zi Zhao can take care of me for several years, but the king who sits on the throne rarely comes to see me in my bedroom once, right?" ”

"I understand, because at that time, Zi Zhao was the husband of his sister alone, and the king was the king of the world, the king of the great merchants, and the king of the royal family. As a great king, he should focus on the community, should continue the royal bloodline, and should focus on the interests of the great merchants and even the world. "I naturally understand the reason, but my heart is still not happy."

By this time we were in the dining room. The woman lifted the bamboo cover on the stove and underneath was a dish of sauced meat. She found a tray, took two bowls, two pairs of chopsticks, put the sauce meat and the bowl on the tray, and said, "My hands are weak, good woman, you come and serve it." ”

I picked up the tray and held it with one hand, wanting to use the other hand to pick up the bamboo again.

The woman waved her hand: "You don't have to pick me up, I can go by myself." He added with a smile, "You have to serve it well, but I can't take out any other appetizers except for this bit of sauced meat." ”

"My sister brought some venison jerky from home. Send some to my sister another day. I stopped forcing her and walked toward the door of the dining room.

The woman took a step forward: "Where is the good home of the woman?" ””

I waited outside the door for the woman: "Sister does not know where the woman's home is?" "This is unexpected to me, even if Wu Ding does not say it, the queen's wife will inquire privately, and moreover, the canonization of the queen is to warn the world, is it not Wu Ding who has not warned the world?" No, there was Hou Bo in attendance on the wedding day... Does the woman like to be quiet or say that the news is closed to this point?

"Of course the woman knows. The woman herself doesn't seem to know. "The woman crossed the threshold and moved much more steadily.

We walked side by side to the bedroom.

"The woman knows, the woman's good home is in the Bohou Mansion." I said it both seriously and innocently.

Nu Zhu seriously corrected me: "Woman is wrong! The Bohou Mansion was the home of the sons, not the home of a good woman, let alone the home of the queen. ”

Listening to the words of the woman, I was like a drink: "The woman is so ashamed, thank you sister for the dial!" ”

The woman bowed her head slightly, and said meaningfully: "People, the most important thing is to find their own position." High or low, expensive or low, find the right position? In order to be able to do things better. ”
