Chapter 14 Dragon and Phoenix Beautiful Jade
Just in another yard not far away, Yang Yuanqing also knelt down on both knees and respectfully kowtowed to Chen Wuhua three times, "Yuan Qing kowtowed to his grandmother!"
Chen Wuhua When Yang Yuanqing came in, she fell in love with this child. She was mighty and tall, with a heroic posture between her eyebrows and eyes, but her every move was elegant. This figure and temperament were rare in the south.
"Kid, get up quickly!"
Chen Wuhua quickly helped Yuan Qing up, but he couldn't help but smile at Niu Niu and told her that he was very satisfied.
Niu Niu's face turned red suddenly. She was a little worried. Brother Yuanqing was a stubborn bullhead and never knelt down. When she saw that Yuanqing actually kowtowed three times to her grandmother, giving her enough face, she was extremely happy.
"I'll call you Yuanqing too!"
Chen Wuhua smiled and said, "I always heard Qiu Niang say that she has a baby, so she is filial and promising. I also heard Niu Niu tell me along the way that her brother Yuanqing is so handsome and tall. I was thinking in my heart that I must see him with my own eyes. I saw him today, and it was indeed good."
Niu Niu's face was flushed with shame. She shook Chen Wuhua's arm like a coquettish, "Grandma, when will I say he is handsome and tall? Don't talk nonsense!"
"Haha! Who told me that Brother Yuanqing is a handsome man, and no one in the world can compare to him. Who said this?
Niu Niu's face turned redder. She secretly glanced at Yang Yuanqing. Seeing him looking at her with a smile, she felt ashamed and hated. Is this dead bullhead not to be humble? She also deliberately smirked like this, so that she could not get out of Taiwan.
"Grandma, when you meet for the first time, you have to give Brother Yuanqing some meeting gift!" Niu Niu was flustered and quickly changed the topic.
Chen Wuhua smiled and knocked Niu Niu's head, "You damn girl, will you take revenge on your grandmother so soon? Your grandmother is empty-sleeved, so where can you give me any gifts?"
Having said that, Chen Wuhua thought about it for a while and said to Niu Niu: "Go and bring the small black box in the box."
Niu Niu was overjoyed. Did her grandma give the baby to Yuanqing? She was afraid that her grandma would regret it and ran away. Chen Wuhua shook her head when she saw it. Is this girl so partial?
"Thank you for your kindness, grandma, Yuan Qing really can't accept it!"
When Yang Yuanqing saw that Chen Wuhua was dressing very simply, he knew that the clothes were made of burlap he had spun. He was wearing old cloth shoes and there was no jewelry on his body. He couldn't bear it.
Chen Wuhua understood Yang Yuanqing's feelings, and she smiled knowingly. At this time, Niu Niu came out with a black wooden box and said with a smile: "Brother Yuanqing, this is my aunt's treasure, and she never gives it to anyone."
Chen Wuhua took the wooden box and smiled at Yuan Qing, "I escaped from the palace and brought some fineness and softness. Later, I slowly sold it to support the children. Only this one is left, and I have never been reluctant to sell it."
Yang Yuanqing was also a little curious. What would be the treasure that Chen Wuhua brought out of the palace and was reluctant to sell?
Chen Wuhua opened the wooden box and found a piece of beautiful jade inside, which was an oval, crystal clear and round, with a green color, without any flaws. A lifelike phoenix was engraved on the front.
Yang Yuanqing was stunned. He quickly took out a small silk bag from his arms and also took out a piece of jade from the bag. This was the dragon and phoenix jade pendant that Yang Jian gave him back then. He held the beautiful jade in his palm and compared it with the jade in the box.
Niu Niu screamed, "Brother Yuanqing, it's really exactly the same as your jade."
Chen Wuhua took Yang Yuanqing's jade and looked at it for a while, and sighed in a low voice: "Actually, they are just a pair!"
"Grandma, how could it be?" Niu Niu was extremely surprised.
Chen Wuhua didn't answer, and she asked Yuanqing again, "Yuanqing, who gave this jade to you?"
"It was the late emperor who gave me. Could it be that my jade belongs to Chen Chao?"
Chen Wuhua nodded gently, "This is a pair of dragon and phoenix jade, a piece of dragon and phoenix jade. The dragon and jade are worn by the emperor, and the phoenix jade is returned to the queen. Your jade is obtained by Han Qinhu after the demise of the Chen Dynasty. I heard that it was dedicated to the Emperor of Sui, and the phoenix jade is by my side and has been following me."
"But there is a phoenix on my jade."
Yang Yuanqing turned the jade pendant over, and behind it was a lifelike phoenix. Chen Wuhua smiled, "That was added later, there was no one in itself. Yuanqing, do you know what this piece of jade means in the Chen Dynasty?"
"Yuan Qing doesn't know, please give me advice!"
Chen Wuhua looked at Niu Niu meaningfully, but stopped talking and gave her the jade pendant, "Is this for you?"
"Give me?"
Niu Niu was stunned, and she waved her hands repeatedly, "This is a meeting gift for Brother Yuanqing, I can't ask for it."
Chen Wuhua turned around and smiled at Yang Yuanqing, saying, "I originally wanted to give it a gift, but now I have changed my mind. I will give this phoenix jade to Niu Niu. Yuanqing, you won't be angry!"
"How could I get angry? My stuff is Niu Niu's. As long as she likes it, I have no problem."
"Brother Yuanqing, what you said?"
Niu Niu held beautiful jade in her hand, her gem-like eyes flashed with a brilliant color, and she blinked mischievously, "I like your Dayuan horse very much. Are you willing to give it to me?"
Yang Yuanqing touched his nose and smiled bitterly. Niu Niu's eyes were very vicious! He actually took a fancy to his own war horse. If he was alone with Niu Niu, he would definitely slap her on the head and laugh and scold, "Don't dream!", but in front of her grandmother, the slap would definitely not be able to slap her in the face.
But Chen Wuhua slapped her, and she knocked on Niu Niu's head and said with a smile: "You dead girl, the war horse is the life of a warrior. Can you want it?"
Niu Niu stuck out her tongue and said with a smile: "Brother Yuanqing, I'm joking for you, but I like this jade very much, thank you."
She looked left and right at the beautiful jade in her hand, and the more she looked at her, the more she liked her, her face was so bright that she smiled.
Chen Wuhua really felt sorry for her granddaughter. She took Niu Niu's hand and smiled at Yang Yuanqing: "I want to visit an old friend, Yuanqing will go with me!"
Yuan Qing immediately bowed and said, "Yuan Qing is willing to accompany his grandmother!"
. . . . . . .
In Xinghuafang, Xijing City, there is a large mansion covering an area of about 40 acres. In the capital, such mansions are usually official houses, and there will be big signs of "Xiao-Secret Gong Mansion" on the gate. However, there is no plaque or any sign on this mansion. Even the surname signs hung by ordinary people at the door are not available. There is a bare mansion. However, many old residents of Xinghuafang know that the owner of this mansion is surnamed Chen, which is the house of Chen Shubao, the former late emperor of Chen Chen.
Fifteen years have passed since Chen Shubao was escorted to Beijing in the ninth year of Kaihuang. Emperor Yang Jian of Sui always sent people to monitor his every move in the mansion. Chen Shubao felt sad, so he drank all day long and immersed himself in the drunken land.
Due to excessive drinking, his body became weaker and finally reached his dying time.
A carriage slowly stopped in front of the Chen Mansion. A butler waiting in front of the door immediately came up. Niu Niu opened the car door and helped Chen Wuhua out. Chen Wuhua glanced at the door and sighed softly. She had been here once thirteen years ago, but Chen Shubao didn't let her enter the door. Thirteen years passed in a flash. Since he had not had many days, he would have finished this vulgarity when he met for the last time.
"Do your master know I'm here?"
The butler only entered the Chen Mansion later. He did not know Chen Wuhua, but Chen Wuhua was the only guest to visit the host, and the butler was extremely polite.
"My master is already unconscious. I report to him that he doesn't say anything. Is the female lay Buddhist his old man?"
"That's right!" Chen Wuhua sighed softly.
"Please please!"
Chen Wuhua nodded and went in with a maid. Seeing that Yang Yuanqing was a little hesitant, she smiled and said, "Yuanqing, come and have a look!"
Yang Yuanqing nodded silently. He didn't want to give the horse to the housekeeper. He found that there were a few people at the door, so he led the horse to Chen Wuhua and walked into the Chen Mansion.
Although the Chen Mansion covers a huge area, it is extremely desolate. Weeds as high as people's waists can be seen everywhere, with leaves falling all over the ground and scattered by the wind. Many houses are dilapidated, with panes worn out, and squeaking sounds in the wind. Through the broken windows, the room can be seen empty and even furniture is gone.
"All were sold out and stolen. Alas, a prodigal son!"
When the old butler saw Yang Yuanqing frowning, he smiled and sighed, "I don't know where the group of people at the door came from. I drink and have fun with my master all day and steal by the way. Now that I see that my master is no longer able to do it, I want to steal something in the end."
The dilapidated and desolate mansion made Niu Niu feel really uncomfortable. She slowed down and walked side by side with Yang Yuanqing, quietly held his hand, and whispered: "Brother Yuanqing, I really don't like this place."
"I don't like it either!"
Yang Yuanqing put his arms around her shoulders and gently pushed forward, "Go to support her grandmother, she will definitely feel even worse."
"Um!"
Niu Niu nodded, quickly stepped forward to support Chen Wuhua, and smiled and said, "Grandma Aunt, you can go to Qujiangchi with us tomorrow!"
"Silly girl, my grandmother still has something to do tomorrow. You and Yuanqing are here!"
"Grandma, go! The autumn red leaves of Qujiangchi are so beautiful, you must have never seen them."
. . . . . . . .
In an equally empty ward, Chen Wuhua stood in front of a sickbed silently. The handsome and romantic Chen Houzhu, who loved writing poetry and essays, could no longer see it. There was only an old man who was as old as seventy years old, with white hair and beards, skinny and bony face, yellow as gold paper, without a trace of blood. He just closed his eyes like this, waiting for the arrival of death.
Yang Yuanqing also stood beside him, and he couldn't believe that this old man was the old master who loved Zhang Lihua and liked to sing the back garden. Finally, he hugged Zhang Lihua and hid in the well with Concubine Kong Guipin. He should be only fifty-two years old and was so old.
At this moment, Yang Yuanqing felt an inexplicable throbbing in his heart. This was the end of the king who lost his country. I wonder how he survived the last sixteen years of his life. The desolation before his death made a deep impression in Yang Yuanqing's heart. An emperor who was addicted to wine and sex, was debauchery and incompetent, must have ended up.
At this moment, Yang Yuanqing had no pity or interest in him. The room made him feel depressed, and he turned around and walked quickly outside.
In the room, the lowly poems of Shen Wuhua echoed.
Li Yu Fanglin faces the shelf, and her new outfit is gorgeous and beautiful;
The reflecting house is so charming that it doesn't come in at once, and comes out of the curtain and greets each other with a smile.
The girl's face is like a flower with dew, and the jade tree shines on the back;
The flowers bloom and fall forever, and the fallen reds all over the ground return to silence!
