Harry Potter’s Morning Light

  Chapter 2947 Flower Dance Qinglan (Part 2)

   "Thank you, Dean." Random said happily, then got up and left.

   "You're welcome." Pomona said, watching Random open the door and leave his office.

  After the door closed, Pomona picked up Dream of the Red Chamber again.

  In fact, Random didn't come to find the magazines she wanted to recover, but to ask her for help. He hoped to learn fighting skills from the centaur.

   It wasn't too difficult, and Pomona agreed, and she returned her attention to her book.

  Although Jia's mother was the emperor's wet nurse, she was not like Ming Xizong's wet nurses Hakka and Wei Zhongxian, who stayed at home in a well-behaved manner, enjoying family happiness with her children and grandchildren.

She loves Baoyu very much, and also loves Daiyu. This is mainly because Daiyu lost her mother when she was young. Jia Min is the old lady's favorite daughter. Tanhua is Lin Ruhai after Houmen again.

  From the age of 7 to the age of 10, Daiyu lived in Jia's mansion. These three years just passed the filial piety period. When she was 12 years old, after Jia Yuanchun visited her relatives, she lived in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion. Mother Jia took Grandma Liu to Daiyu's room and saw the green window screens made of soft smoke. She felt that the green and green bamboos did not match very well, and she wanted to replace them with colorful ones.

During the period of filial piety, of course she wore plain colors, and people said she was filial if she shed more tears, but when Daiyu went to Lixiangyuan to visit Baochai, she wore a double-breasted gown with red feather satin. Wearing red in the white snow is a kind of beauty. There are many Everyone likes to wear a red cloak in the snow, but it is not suitable for Daiyu during the mourning period.

Wu Meiniang, a warrior, died at the age of 12. She entered the palace at the age of 14. If she kept filial piety for three years, she would not have kept her filial piety. It is close to the border of nomads, if not for this, Wu Meiniang would not be able to escape the search.

  Beheading is the heaviest form of mourning. It takes three years of filial piety, followed by Qi Failing, one year of filial piety, nine months of great merit, and five months of minor merit. According to the records in "Rituals and Mourning Clothes", when the father is alive and the mother is dead, the children will be mourned for one year for the deceased mother. After Wu Zetian ascended the throne, it was changed to three years, and after another ten years of hard work, it was officially included in the law that children mourn for their mothers for three years.

After Wu Zetian passed away, the Li Tang Dynasty once changed the rule that children should not mourn for the deceased mother, and changed the etiquette of bereavement from three years to one year when the father was alive. It was changed to "three years of Qi decline" as stipulated in the Wu Zetian era.

  In the eyes of Jia Mu, Jia Min is of course more important than her son-in-law Lin Ruhai, not to mention Lin Ruhai's plan to continue her life was written in Chapter 82, so there is no need for Daiyu to go into mourning.

  Yuanchun is the eldest daughter of Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang, and also a child raised by Jia's mother. She was named because she was born on the first day of the first lunar month. When she returned to Grand View Garden, it was the Lantern Festival, and the Grand View Garden specially prepared lantern riddles to welcome her. Compared with her situation in the palace, she lived in a "place where no one can see people", which is the so-called cold palace.

   There is not really such a palace called Lenggong, it is only called Lenggong because the emperor went there less often. It is no wonder that Yuanchun shed tears several times when he returned home to be so lively and happy.

  I can also imagine how it is possible for a woman who writes such an upright poem to be favored.

  Censor Yanguan is usually not likable, just like the sword of Damocles in the West, everyone knows its meaning, but they don’t really want to have such a sword hanging over their heads.

When Jia's house was ransacked, it was Jinyiwei who went there, but there was also a censor behind him who was behind it. It was Jia Zhen who lured the children of the aristocratic family to gamble, and also robbed the women of the people. Forgive me, I will continue to investigate.

On that day, Jia's mansion also held a banquet, just like the day Lin Daiyu entered Jia's mansion, if Daiyu was as serious as a jade rakshasa, and looked at a room full of women wearing makeup and powder and wearing gold and silver with cold eyes And the banquet, what is that scene like?

   Daiyu is the daughter of the censor, not the censor himself. What's more, she came to visit relatives and friends, not to raid the house. She could only follow other people.

  In the long run, doing so would be detrimental to the Jia family. Anyone who wants to tell the truth has always taken great risks, not just offending others.

  From the description in the book, it is hard to tell whether Lin Ruhai is clear or muddy, especially since he was still struggling in Yangzhou.

  The water is too clear and there are no fish, and the water is too muddy to be unbearably dirty. Just as Daiyu said, the flowers will be ruined when they fall to that boundary.

   Daiyu came here empty-handed, so of course she had to bring some gifts when she came to visit. Didn’t she collect a bag of peach blossom petals to bury? Dried it and made it into peach blossom tea, and offered it to Shi Taijun when the time came, and used it to replace those tea leaves for mouthwashing.

  The old lady said that the soft smoke in her place is blue after rain, the same is autumn fragrance, the same is pine green, and the same is silver red. In the future, I would collect peach blossoms in spring, lotus in summer, sweet-scented osmanthus in autumn, and plum blossoms in winter, and dry them to make tea. I could even write poems about flowers with their fragrance.

  These flowers are all available in the Grand View Garden, and they don’t need to spend money. In ancient times, women used flower petals to put flowers on their foreheads, just like Bodhisattvas. Although it can't save a few money, it shows an attitude.

  Wang Xifeng came late on purpose for a while, just to see what kind of attitude Miss Lin had, whether she couldn't understand the stinky wine and meat of their rich family, or "collaborating with others", and only after she figured it out did she "pretend" to be late like Baochai.

   With the backing of Shi Taijun and Baoyu, Miss Lin can win against Wang Xifeng, let alone Baochai without the support of her husband.

   "Zhuangzi Qiushui" says that heaven is inside and people are outside, and virtue depends on heaven. Knowing that the behavior of heaven and man is based on the sky, and the position is based on attainment, bending and stretching when walking around, but speaking extremely.

The meaning probably means that in the environment, it is necessary to advance and retreat appropriately, bend and stretch properly, "get" and "virtue", and other people have "get", and the method can work. Originally, people don't like the smell of wine and meat in their mouths, so they use tea to rinse Opening the mouth, the smell of flowers is also good, depriving the mouthwash tea, isn't the bad breath everywhere?

  The so-called "contingency" is not to be a fool on the wall, but to master the "Tao" and "reason". Mencius said that "the reason why human beings are different from animals is a few things".

  What is heaven? What is a person?

  If Beihai said, "A ox and a horse with four legs are called heaven, but a horse with the head of a fallen horse and a cow's nose are called people."

   That is to say, a horse with a bridle and an ox with a rope on its nose becomes a human being.

  Some people must think it’s wrong to say that. Isn’t a horse that has been begged for a bridle a horse? Aren't there wild horses that refuse to be tamed and put on bridles? The instinct of a horse to break free from the bridle and run freely is still there. Don't use human will to destroy the instinct, it can't be killed. If it is dead, people cannot live.

  Why was it that Daiyu, who was so favored in the end, could only watch Baoyu and Baochai get married, but she died in tears?

  Qing Wen was kicked out because of her outspokenness. Her outspoken words were filled with her own resentment and could not change anything.

  In ancient Greece, there was a man named Solon who dared to speak out. At that time, the tyrant Pisistratus equipped himself with a private guard and made public his intention of despotism. He said to the Greeks, "I am smarter than those who do not understand the bad intentions of Pisistratus, and braver than those who understand but are afraid and keep silent." Then the people in the audience said, "You are crazy!"

   This is a fart, but Solon still said "If I am crazy, you will find out after a while!"

   During the reign of Pisistratus, the golden age of the Greek tyrant, he was exiled twice, and at the same time let the crazy Solon carry out reforms...

  Pomona glanced at his pocket watch, it was already late.

  She closed the book, then washed and went to bed. Although there will be a dance tomorrow, she still has to go to class during the day, so let’s leave it at that.
