Chapter VIII Other Courtyard
She touched it with her hand and found it was soft. It was made of pure cotton. Pearl nodded and expressed her liking. There was something like a straw hat next to the cotton cloth. What was it? Pearl reached out and picked it up and looked at it carefully.
It was indeed a straw hat, but there was a layer of white gauze hanging from the bottom. What was this? Pearl looked at Old Man Wang.
"I bought this specially for you, my dear daughter, you...you are so beautiful. We are from a poor family. It is inevitable when we come out and go in. We should wear this." Old man Wang said and put on his clothes.
Try wearing a straw hat on Pearl.
After Pearl put it on, she found that she could see very clearly from the inside, but it was a bit difficult to see herself from the outside. Pearl took off her hat and looked at Old Man Wang with a smile, "Dad, it's very good. You can see very clearly. Don't worry about it."
."
Old Man Wang didn't say anything, but nodded and said, "I'll take it to Aunt Qi later and ask her to make you two sets of clothes. The food is ready, so let's eat."
Pearl opened the pot and started eating as instructed. Pearl instinctively felt that Old Wang was a little absent-minded. He must have something on his mind. However, the old man didn't say anything, and Pearl dared to ask casually.
After dinner, Pearl took the initiative to clean up, took the dishes and chopsticks to wash the dishes, and turned her head to look at Old Man Wang from time to time. Old Man Wang looked preoccupied since he returned home, with a face full of worry and thoughtfulness.
After getting along with each other for more than ten days, I see that Mr. Wang has become much younger, his hair and beard are much darker, and he no longer looks like a man in his fifties or sixties, but more and more like a man in his forties. Is this because of me?
It's an illusion, Pearl thought about it while washing the dishes.
"I'm going out for a while, so you can stay at home and look after the house. I can't say when I'll come back. I might come back late. I'll just be at home and be good." After saying that, Old Man Wang was about to go out.
"Dad, what are you going to do? Don't hide anything from me. Otherwise, why don't I go with you?" Pearl quickly stood up and said.
"Girls, please stay at home. Dad will come back as soon as he goes." Old man Wang said and walked out without stopping.
"Dad -" Pearl quickly stood up and grabbed him. She must know as much as possible about the current situation. Something must have happened today. She wanted to know. Living here, she must know the situation as soon as possible.
Maybe if she knows more about the situation, she doesn't want to be a housewife who takes care of her husband and raises her children at home, and works around three TV stations all day long.
Pearl made up her mind to follow Old Man Wang out, "Dad, you have been gone for a day, leaving me alone at home. Aunt Qi accompanied me during the day. It is almost dark, and I don't know when you will come back.
I'm alone at home, I'm scared!" Pearl looked scared and held on to Old Man Wang tightly.
Old Man Wang stopped and looked at the pitiful Pearl, and his heart suddenly softened. It had only been a few days since he had returned from the massacre. The girl's family had seen such a battle, so it was understandable that she was afraid.
"Okay then, I'm going to discuss things with the elders. If you go, just stay in another room and don't come out. Do you understand?"
Pearl nodded happily, thought for a while, quickly entered the house, put on the veiled hat, followed Old Man Wang and walked out.
After walking for a while, they saw a large courtyard. What Pearl saw was a large area with tall, gray and fluffy courtyard walls as far as the eye could see. Old man Wang said that this village only has a few hundred people.
Thinking that such a small village has such a large building complex, the courtyard wall is four to five meters high and is made of green bricks.
The father and daughter stood below. Pearl looked up and felt that people were so small, the sky was so high, and the gray wall was so solid and majestic.
Old Man Wang took Pearl along the path beside the wall and walked straight forward. After walking for a while, he turned a corner and suddenly saw a bluestone road that could accommodate four carriages.
There were two big snow-white stone lions squatting everywhere. They walked forward and came to a place.
In front of a large gatehouse, there is a tall double-eaves gatehouse with carvings of winds, dragons and animals, as well as various exquisite stone and wood carvings of town houses. There are two large gilt characters written on the black lacquer plaque. Boya. Vermilion painted gate, with the title of an animal on it.
A large brass door knocker with a diameter of one foot.
The gate of this house is tightly closed, with two corner doors on the left and right, the east corner door is also closed, and only the west corner door is ajar. Six well-dressed men are sitting on spring benches on both sides of the gate.
When the male servants saw Old Man Wang coming, they all stood up. Some called Prince Wang, here you are, and some called Manager Wang, here you are. The greetings kept coming. It seemed that his cheap father still had some status here. Pearl secretly
Thoughts.
"This is the manor of King Shura. In the summer, sometimes martial arts masters, military talents, and concubines come here to escape the summer heat. At that time, there were martial arts competitions and shengxiao playing every day. The village was very lively. The men, women, and children on the village were busy.
They all have errands to do, so they have to be flexible.
Yes, anyone with a sweet mouth and diligent hands and feet will get a lot of rewards. But you have to be careful not to offend the prince and other men with strong martial arts skills. It means that if you die, you will die." Old man Wang gave the pearl.
Talking about past experiences.
"King Shura? How come there is a prince with this name?" Pearl asked puzzledly, isn't Shura the god of death in hell?
"Haha, people called him King Shura behind their backs. Because this prince had a bad temper and a fiery nature, people secretly called him Shura. Gradually, people started calling him Shura. But when the prince found out, he was not annoyed. Instead, he liked him very much.
This name is on my back like this
Everyone calls him King Shura. In fact, he is the eldest son of the founder of the country. At that time, Taizu and his younger brother conquered the world. It was said that the elder brother would eventually succeed the younger brother, and then the younger brother would pass it on to his nephew. Taizu kept his promise and gave the throne to his nephew.
He gave birth to his younger brother, but the younger brother did not give it to his nephew.
Instead, he gave it to his son. The emperor was willing to agree, but when he saw that the uncle and nephew were about to fight, no one in the court could say anything wrong with Taizong. They felt that Taizong was smart and wise, and he was indispensable in governing the country.
He is the choice of a wise king, but in the army it is
There were many people who supported Taizu's direct descendants, and the atmosphere was extremely tense. They were about to fight. Still, some veterans came forward and made various efforts. Taizong promised to make his nephew King Heng, and he would be hereditary. One person is less than ten thousand people.
This is how I managed to suppress the matter."
Old man Wang was talking nonchalantly, and took Pearl to the corner door on the west side. He climbed up the stairs and pushed open the red door. Inside was a courtyard with a shot, and in front was another door, which was also closed.
Yes, it's like entering a maze. This is really a world of doors. When you open one door, another door appears in front of you, one door after another, one door after another.
