Chapter 320: Afraid and Not Afraid
It was getting dark, and the evening breeze blew a few dead leaves off the tiles. The brick streets are wide and clean, with their own unique buildings, and the hustle and bustle of the day is gone, presenting a serene beauty.
A small snow-white Tibetan mastiff walked lightly in front, leading the way to those behind, while its owner climbed on someone's back, sometimes looking around.
"Tick! Tick! Tick Tick ......"
The tiger girl hummed a little song softly, and her two little short legs were dangling, looking in a good mood.
In fact, she was really in a good mood, and the moment she met her brother, she could feel that he still loved her and was not angry with her. It's just that the reason why I am in a hurry to find my brother today is that in addition to worrying that my brother will be angry, I am actually worried that my brother will be bullied by others in the palace.
She had never entered the palace, but she knew that the palace was where the emperor lived, and the people in it were very powerful. And her brother is so weak, she can't even beat her, and there is no iron pillar to protect her, so she is also worried about this.
When the two of them walked into a straight and lonely street, and Yuanxiyuan was already far away, Hu Niu broke the silence and asked, "Brother, have you been bullied in the palace?" Don't lie to me. ”
"Being bullied by whom?" Lin Haoran, who was enjoying the tranquility, was stunned for a moment, and then asked in confusion.
"Huh? …… For example, being bullied by the emperor! Tiger Niu frowned in thought, and then chose the most powerful person.
"If the emperor bullies your brother, what else can you do?!" When Lin Haoran heard this, he couldn't help but smile dumbly.
In this royal society, especially the political system of the Ming Dynasty, the saint has absolute authority. Back then, Liu Jinquan leaned towards the government and the opposition, but it was not a matter of Zhengde's words to be Ling Chi.
Even if he really bullied Jiajing, I'm afraid he can only accept it silently.
Hu Niu raised her immature face and said seriously: "If you are really bullied by the emperor, then when I grow up, I will help my brother teach him a lesson!" ”
"Tiger girl, don't talk nonsense!" Lin Haoran stopped and seriously admonished the tiger girl on his back.
Although in Hu Niu's heart, his status is far better than that of the emperor, but he is not worthy of praise. Once this kind of thing is publicized, their brother and sister may be punished for disrespect.
"I know! Didn't you hear me say so quietly? As far as we know, when I grow up, I'll teach you a lesson from all the big bad guys! The tiger girl leaned in and whispered in his ear very earnestly.
As he spoke, a trace of hot breath spat at the base of his ear, itching him to turn his head away, but he couldn't help but smile on his face, and his anger dissipated.
Lin Haoran was helpless in the end, and continued to go home with the tiger girl on his back, but asked in confusion: "Tiger girl, are you not afraid of the emperor?" ”
"Do I have to be afraid?" Tiger Girl asked puzzled.
"You should be afraid!" Lin Haoran said, and Hu Niu made a listening gesture, and listened to him continue: "The emperor was born from heaven and is the son of God, different from us mortals!" ”
These are the most popular sayings of this era, and the Son of Heaven is different from ordinary people, and in order to prove their extraordinary, all kinds of birth visions are often concocted. Throughout the ages, there are too many to mention, and Liu Bang, the ancestor of Han Gaozu, is undoubtedly the most straightforward.
According to records, when Han Gaozu was born: "When my mother tasted Daze, she met God in a dream." When the thunder and lightning are obscure, the father and the princess look at it, and see the dragon on it. has already had a pregnancy, and then gave birth to a high ancestor. ”
It is precisely in this way that Liu Bang was born to a dragon and his mother, and he is a real "dragon son".
"Brother, when you used to tell me stories, didn't you say that these were all fake?" Hu Niu frowned slightly and said leisurely.
"I said that?" Lin Haoran was slightly embarrassed, but in order to defend his dignity as an elder brother, he continued: "Ahem...... When today's son is different, when your brother was looking through the history materials in the Hanlin Academy before, do you know what your brother saw? ”
"What do you see?" The tiger girl really fell into the trap, and her curiosity was also suspended.
Lin Haoran said seriously: "It turns out that Taizu is not a mortal, Taizu's mother dreamed of a fairy and gave her a pill, and after Taizu's mother ate this pill, there was Taizu, when Taizu was born, his house was red, and the neighbors mistakenly thought that his house was burned, so they all ran over with buckets to fight the fire!" ”
In order to bluff the tiger girl, Lin Haoran spoke very carefully, as if he had seen it with his own eyes.
It's just that the tiger girl's chin is lightly raised, and the cute little flat nose snorts proudly: "I'm not bad!" When I was born, the house was full of colorful lights, and my body was fragrant for three days and three nights. ”
Hey?
Lin Haoran originally thought that the tiger girl was going to fight the bloodline of the Zhu family who had taken the magic medicine in awe, but she never expected that it would be such a result, and it turned out that this girl also had a lot of "origins".
"Who said that?" After stumbling for a moment, Lin Haoran asked seriously.
"The old patriarch said that the third woman once told me that she originally planned to drop me into the river and drown, but then she didn't drown, otherwise I would have died at that time!" The tiger girl's face looked very serious, showing an expression that did not lie to you.
"Tiger girl, are you sure so?" Lin Haoran's brows frowned slightly, and he asked very suspiciously.
"I ...... I'm not sure! The tiger girl shook her head a little distressedly, and then shook her little short legs and continued: "I was like a kitten at that time, how do I know what's going on?" I only listened to you tell me when I grew up! ”
"Is it that the village deliberately deceived you, it is impossible for the human body to glow, let alone emit fragrance!" Lin Haoran thought for a moment, and then said conclusively.
"I have a scent! Brother, smell it! Hu Niu said, her waist straightened, and she stretched out a white and tender little hand to Lin Haoran's nose.
"You're just ordinary body odor!" Lin Haoran sniffed, and immediately rolled his eyes helplessly.
I'm afraid the truth of the matter is not complicated, some good people in the village learned that the tiger girl had some body fragrance, so they arranged this "strange" thing for everyone to talk about after dinner.
It's just that after this girl is sensible, she believes it and thinks that she was really born "extraordinary", so she dares to despise the Zhu family's "magic medicine bloodline".
In fact, throughout the ages, many celebrities have been given different appearances by their births to prove their "extraordinary origins". But later generations have proven that all of this is apocryphal.
While the two were talking, they had already walked to Lingshi Hutong, the sky was already dark, and lanterns had been hung in front of some people's houses, lighting up this ancient Beijing city.
As they stepped into the house, it was bustling with dinner inside.
