Harry Potter’s Morning Light

   Chapter 2149 Flower War (fifty-seven)

  Eastern Han Dynasty Zhang Heng's "Xijing Fu" once had such a description: After the thundering thunder, a giant beast with a length of 180 feet appeared on the stage. Suddenly, a lofty and steep mountain appeared on his back, with bears and tigers fighting each other, and monkeys climbing and chasing on the trees. Suddenly, another big bird came staggering, and another drooping-nosed white elephant swayed over, as if pregnant and about to give birth to a baby elephant. Suddenly, another big fish appeared, and when I saw it clearly, the big fish turned into a dragon again, winding its way around. At this time, the magical auspicious relic beast appeared. It opened its mouth and exhaled, and when the breath dissipated, it turned into a fairy car, driven by four deer, and the canopy like Ganoderma lucidum was covered with flowers. In addition, toads and tortoises appeared, and there were people in the water who made snakes, and people who swallowed knives and spit fire; suddenly a big water appeared on the flat ground, and the water flowed into a river. For a time, the square was shrouded in mist, easily fractal, fantastic and surprising. endlessly.

   Are there really dragons, relics, and water people in this world?

   Even if there are, will they suddenly appear and disappear in the densely populated Xijing?

  Some people think that what Zhang Heng wrote should be a kind of illusion, like a mirage on the sea, although many people think that the "immortal mountain" seen on the mirage really exists.

Illusions should have come from Tianzhu at the earliest. In the "Biography of High Monks", it is recorded that many eminent monks who came from the east to spread the Dharma would use such tricks. Out of the water, in the "Vedanta" scriptures, the magician throws the rope into the sky, the rope hangs from the sky, and a child climbs along the rope and performs a balance performance on the upper end, and then disappears and appears in the crowd.

  This magic is called "Indian Immortal Sow", although it is very magical, there are many people performing it. What is more exaggerated is the process of Shariputra's subjugation of demons in the "Sutra of Yin and Foolishness". The so-called "devil" is not the devil, but the outsider as Buddhism calls it. This fantasy fight lasted for six rounds, and Shariputra conjured the elephant, the vajra, the Garuda king, the lion king, etc. with the outsiders. The pool, the mountain, the dragon, and the giant cow were defeated, and a similar plot was moved into the plot of Sun Wukong and Erlang Shen in "Journey to the West".

  Illusions are all fake, starving is the real thing. The reason why people took part in the imperial examinations in the forty-seventh year of Qianlong was actually a famine in Fujian. Of course, "scholars" would not say that they came to the capital to escape the famine. Because of this, compared to the failure of the first imperial examination, the second failure did not deal a great blow to the Juren.

   He wanted to stay in the capital, and then he found the Xilin Gioruo family who had worked before. This time their family did not lack Mr. Jiashu, but they introduced him to a Mongolian **** as a tutor.

  This Mongolian concubine is not a real concubine, because he is married to the daughter of an idle clan. Kangxi had 24 princes, 123 daughters, 74 of them grew to adulthood, and 50 were married to Mongolia. The eldest son, Yintu, had 11 married daughters, and 9 of them were married to Mongolia.

   In order to make the princesses live better outside the Great Wall, the official will build the inland brick-and-tile mansion for their wives, and the money is also given by the Manchu court.

It was very hard outside the Great Wall, not the kind of hardship that Wan Ning thought would be bullied by her husband's family. By the middle of Qianlong period, princes began to be reluctant to marry their daughters to Mongolia. First, the prince's daughter was nostalgic for the prosperous and highly educated capital. , is reluctant to go to the desert, the second is because the Mongolian customs and concepts are inconsistent, and the third is to stay away from the family.

This situation had a clue in the Kangxi period. In the early Qianlong period, it was clearly stipulated that the daughter of the imperial family must be married by the emperor, but people always try to find a way. .

   In order to maintain the national policy of marrying Mongolia, these concubines can stay in the capital, or travel back and forth between the capital and Mongolia, on duty. Yunduan Duoerji, the "concubine" who is serving the people, is such a prince of Horqin who will often travel back and forth between Kulun and the capital in the "future", and his direct descendant Fujin is the seventh daughter of Prince Yongbi. , both just turned 16 years old. In the words of the old housekeeper, neither of these two children "wake up".

The King of Saketoro has been married to the Qing royal family many times, and one of them is Princess Gu Lun. When Kangxi pacified the rebellion in the San Francisco, the capital was empty, and when Ge Erdan wanted to take the opportunity to go south, it was these relatives who helped Kangxi to stop him. .

Yunduan Dorji's father, Sangzhai Dorji, lost both his parents when he was young. Because he had no one to rely on, Qianlong brought him into the inner court to raise him. The transaction was very convenient, and he was convicted of privately trading with Russia, and he was removed from the title of prince and lowered to the king of the county.

  This family is known as the "Nine-tailed Fox Family". It is the kind of family whose ancestors and descendants have been convicted, but they have never cut off the title of the king of Sakdoro County.

Yunduan Dorji was born in the capital, but because he was afraid of smallpox, he was brought to the grassland to "free-range" to grow up. After marrying Junjun, he would stay in the capital for a few years, and then he started to run from Kulun to the capital. Life.

As for the seventh daughter of Prince Yongbi, she may have read a lot of dramas and poems about talented and beautiful women, and Dorji can speak Mongolian, Chinese, Manchu, and Russian, but she still thinks that she has nothing in common with him. language.

Yunduan Dorji grew up on the grasslands and likes falconry, horse racing and hunting. Many bannermen in the capital are illiterate. He knows at least several kinds, but they are "a little bit" as she expected. distance.

   That is to say, one day Dolji is at the same level as Nalan's morality, then she will be satisfied, this possibility is lower than that of a monkey jumping out of a stone.

Her own cultural level is not low. After entering the customs, the Manchus also began to like docile, elegant, and ladylike Han women. Since the Shunzhi Emperor married two Bolzijit queens, whether it was Kangxi or Yongzheng , Qianlong did not marry a Mongolian queen, and the palace seldom accepted Mongolian women as ordinary concubines.

   Central Plains people love jade more than gemstones. In addition to the natural qualities of jade, it can also be changed by raising jade. It will become very aura, even if it is not carefully carved by a good carver, or it is born with some flaws.

   "Didn't you always like to see Miss Admiral's eyes? What do you think of this poem?"

   He dipped his finger in the wine and wrote a poem on the table:

  The breeze is full of lotus ponds, and the temples are reflected in the windows. Newly wearing Qiluo Ru, applying thin makeup to the mirror.

   Qingdai sweeps the crescent eyebrows, and the muscles are like snow frost. The cherry blossoms point red lips, and the rouge cheeks are fragrant.

   Holding a fan and walking on silk shoes, the fragrance floats every step of the way. Go to the church to worship your parents, and look down on the front porch.

   His eyes are like orchid dew, and his spirit is like bamboo after rain. The rest of the people praised it, not like a mortal thing.

   "Have you ever seen an orchid with water?"

  Nick also drank some wine. He is very interested in the metaphor of lifting a man. He must have a look when he has a chance.

"let me see."

   Bonaparte lifted Georgiana's chin, and she slapped his hand away in anger.

   He wasn't angry, but he still kept his eyes on her. The candlelight made the atmosphere very ambiguous. No wonder so many couples love to eat candlelight dinner.

   "Let's watch after dinner." She said a little embarrassedly.

   He reached out to her, she stood up, pulled him up, and left the cabin together.

   That's weird, does a person who has been dead for two hundred years still need to eat?

   But people cannot live without eating, and it is precisely because they feel like they want to eat that these ghosts are not as "sober" as the ghosts of Hogwarts, knowing that they are dead and thinking they are alive.

   Live in this world full of various "illusions".
