"Mom, Wan'er's job today is to clean the fallen leaves. This time, Master Zhang gave me two hours of work, so I can finish it easily." Shangguan Wan'er said to her mother with a smile, and then went there with the tools.
Cleaning the yard.
This day is the ninth day of August in the second year of the General Chapter. As the weather turns cooler, the golden wind blows, and the leaves fall one after another. So Xiao Wan'er has a new job, which is to clean the fallen leaves. Although it is rare for Major Zhang to give
It took two hours, but because the autumn wind kept stopping and the leaves kept falling, it was not easy to clean it thoroughly.
Sure enough, after Xiao Wan'er spent more than half an hour cleaning up the fallen leaves in the courtyard, when she turned around and found that there was a layer of fallen leaves behind her again, she couldn't help but feel aggrieved.
, and sobbed softly.
At this moment, I suddenly heard the sound of feet stepping on fallen leaves, and then I heard a little girl say in a sweet voice: "There is indeed Cinderella here. Seventh brother, look at how pitiful this little girl is.
The fallen leaves have been swept away again and again, and they have to be swept away again, but how can they be swept cleanly? Isn't it in vain for him to do this? "
When Xiao Wan'er heard what the other party said, it was about her own pain point, and she suddenly felt a burst of sadness and couldn't help but burst into tears.
Seeing the little girl like this, Li Xian couldn't help but feel ashamed. In fact, if it weren't for his deliberate arrangement, this little girl shouldn't have suffered all this. Under his wings, this little girl could have lived a very comfortable life.
But Li Xian knew that he had to do this, because the greatest value of the little girl in front of him in this life is that she will become a famous talented woman and female prime minister in history. As long as he wins her over now, she will definitely be a good influence in the future.
He was a great help to her, and if he only took care of her food and clothing and let her enterprising spirit weaken, she would at best be an ordinary woman with considerable talent and learning in the future. Would she still be the famous Shangguan Wan'er in history?
?
Therefore, Li Xian could only harden his heart and create some appropriate hardships for her to hone the girl's growth.
Therefore, after Li Xian listened to Xiao Taiping's words, he said: "My little sister, what you said is wrong. It's like a human being. After eating in the morning, I'm hungry at noon. After eating at noon, I'm hungry in the evening. Hungry will always exist. I'll wait to eat."
How can we finish eating? However, we cannot simply not eat because we are afraid of being hungry again. In fact, if we think about it carefully, eating is necessary in this life, but life may not be all about eating. I am equal to eating and
Is it possible to do something useful during the break of hunger? For example, sweeping the fallen leaves will fall again, but the ones that have been swept away will naturally not grow back. Isn’t this my achievement? I will sweep the fallen leaves away.
Show others, who can deny what I have done? Besides, wouldn’t it be a pleasure if we swept the fallen leaves and watched the flying leaves carefully? Why was Cinderella finally able to win the favor of the prince? She looks so good
Beauty is certainly the reason, but the unyielding spirit in times of suffering is the root."
Shangguan Wan'er on the side had already stopped crying when Li Xian spoke. Later, she listened carefully to what the other party said, and then compared it with what her mother had said to her. She suddenly became enlightened, so she quietly
Wiping her tears, she saluted Li Xian and said: "What this gentleman said is true. Wan'er couldn't think about it just now, so she felt sad for a moment. After listening to Lang Jun's words today, she realized how shallow she is. Lang
Wan'er will never forget your kindness in teaching. Haha, Lang Jun is a tall man, and he can go in and out of the prison freely, so he should be regarded as a prince?"
Li Xian was immediately surprised when he heard this, and quickly praised: "I can't tell that you are so smart even though you are young..."
"snort……"
Li Xian was about to say more, but was interrupted by a snort. Then he realized that it was his younger sister Taiping who was venting her dissatisfaction with him for praising others for being smart, so he quickly said: "Although I am not as talented as my roommate, I am not far behind."
Xiao Taiping's expression softened slightly, and he stuck out his tongue and said, "How hard is it to guess? Ye Ting is close to the harem, and the only men who can come here are the emperor and the prince, but this little girl can guess this It's not easy at all, but it's not easy to be praised by my brother for being smart. Since you're smart, why don't you guess the names of me and my brother?"
Xiao Wan'er saw that Li Xian was very kind to her and had a good impression of her. She also saw him praising her for being smart, which made her even more happy. However, seeing Princess Taiping's expression, she naturally knew that she was very disdainful towards her. With her own identity, she was originally It’s time to settle the matter, but now I don’t know why, but I have to prove my cleverness in front of this noble man, so I said: “I guess this lady is the most favored Princess Taiping by Your Majesty and the Queen, and this gentleman , as the King of Zhou, I wonder if what I said is correct?"
"Huh, it's not surprising that you can tell me my identity. After all, I have already called the prince brother, so naturally he is the princess. And now I am the only princess of the Tang Dynasty who is as old as me, but I think Ask, how did you guess my brother's name?" After all, Xiao Taiping is a princess, how can she argue with a "slave"? So even though she was unhappy, she had to admit that the other party's guess was correct, but she was still very Strangely, there was no name written on Li Xian’s face. How did the other party guess it?
I saw Xiao Wan'er slowly saluting and saying: "The reason why the slave girl knew the identity of King Zhou was mainly because of the princess, because everyone in the palace knew that Princess Taiping had always been in love with the King of Zhou. Since the slave girl had guessed the identity of the princess, It is not difficult for King Zhou to guess his identity."
"I see, I thought you were really smart..." Princess Taiping suddenly realized that she had made a mistake, but she took Xiao Wan'er's hand and said with a smile: "But this is rare, you can be like this in the midst of suffering. Being unyielding is indeed very much like Cinderella. I wish you can find a prince in the future. Come on, come on. When we meet today, we are very much in love with each other. How about we become good friends?"
"Here, you are a princess and I am a slave. There is a huge difference in status between you and me. How can a slave dare to climb up?" It was lonely in the palace and she had not had a playmate for several years. Although Xiao Wan'er was moved, she still hesitated when she considered the identity of the other party. Undecided.
But I heard Little Taiping say: "What's the point? I am Snow White and you are Cinderella. Although they have different identities, they are both kind-hearted, smart and eager to learn. What's the hindrance to being a good friend?"
Little Wan'er had always thought that she was very smart and very talented, but today she heard what Princess Taiping said about Cinderella and Snow White, but she didn't know anything about it. She couldn't help being very surprised, and she quickly asked Princess Taiping: "Who is Cinderella?" What? What about Princess Taiping? I forgive Wan'er for her limited knowledge and have never heard of these two people."
Unexpectedly, when Xiao Taiping heard Wan'er's question, she immediately screamed inwardly, because she had an appointment with Li Xian before, and the story about Snow White and Cinderella had to be kept as a secret. Only the two of them knew about it. Now He accidentally revealed the secret and was asked by Xiao Wan'er again. He couldn't help but feel panicked and quickly looked at Li Xian.
I saw Li Xian sigh quietly, and then said softly: "Lingyue, my brother told you before, only you and I know about this matter, how can you tell others without permission? Forget it, my brother will forgive you.
I'll wait for you. Since Wan'er already knows, you can tell her these two stories. But remember, you are not allowed to tell anyone else in the future. Only the three of us know this secret. Otherwise, I will
I won’t tell you any more stories.”
"Okay, Seventh Brother, my little sister knows about it. Seventh Brother, don't worry, my little sister will never talk about this to anyone again. The same goes for Wan'er, right Wan'er?" Princess Taiping was afraid that Li Xian would never tell her anything again.
After telling the story, he quickly promised Li Xian with oaths and swore, and at the same time, he also attracted Wan'er.
Although Wan'er didn't know what was going on, seeing Taiping say so, she naturally agreed quickly and agreed with the same vow.
"In that case, Ling Yue will tell Wan'er the story of Snow White and Cinderella, and go for a walk first for my brother." After Li Xian finished speaking, he walked towards the Yeting Palace.
"Princess, please tell me, who is Princess Snow White?" Wan'er was eager to know whether Li Xian's story was good or not. She couldn't wait to ask after Li Xian had just left.
Taiping was also very happy and quickly shared the story she heard not long ago with her friends. Although her storytelling skills were much lower than Li Xian due to her age, she looked at Wan'er's admiring look on her face.
He looked very proud in his heart.
Although Wan'er was one year older than Taiping, she was still a child after all. How could she not be happy to hear such a novel fairy tale? So she was very happy after hearing it, so she pestered Princess Taiping to tell her the story of Cinderella again.
.
After listening to this story, Wan'er finally understood why Princess Taiping compared her to Cinderella, but she was very happy with this comparison, because she understood a truth through this story: "It turns out that even if she is Cinderella,
As long as I wear a beautiful dress, I will be fascinated by the prince. The biggest difference between people is not identity, but heart. As long as I am brave enough and determined to break through these obstacles, the distance from the prince is actually not that big.
Not that far."
The truth contained in this story itself is not mentioned, but it is a deep inspiration to Xiao Wan'er, allowing her to face the sufferings in front of her with more firm confidence and more unyielding will, and even she herself does not know
, these stories also deeply affected her character, transforming her from the ambitious Shangguan Taizhao in history into a smart and kind Shangguan Wan'er, and this was the initiator of this incident, Li Xiandu
Unexpected.
"Princess, after you hear these novel stories, can you tell them to Wan'er?" Little Wan'er carefully savored Princess Taiping's fairy tales, and then asked "boldly". (To be continued.) This chapter has been completed!
