Chapter 352: The Past (11)
It is a voice that is extremely familiar to Taifu.
Or in other words, this voice is hard for him to forget, whether it was placed ten years ago or ten years later.
To put it another way, this voice, even if the owner turns to ashes, he will not forget it.
Taifu lifted half of his feet and stretched out on the threshold, not to go in, not to go in.
The man in front of him was also very patient, and simply leaned against the door, waiting for him to make his next move.
He didn't move.
I don't know how to move.
What he wants to do now is probably not to enter the door.
It's a big mouth to slap yourself.
The heavier, the better.
He seriously doubted that everything now was his dream.
He was still dreaming about it and couldn't wake up.
Or rather, his dream was extremely long, and it was the beginning of this dream from the time he heard that he was going to come here to supervise the progress.
He needed a reason to convince himself that it wasn't a dream.
This person should have stayed in the palace honestly, without any possibility of coming out.
The man who had been harassing him in his dreams was not supposed to be here.
"Aren't your feet sore?"
"Sour. β
"Then you're not coming in?"
"Not yet. β
"Because of me?"
"Yes and no........."
"Don't be too sentimental, I'm not here because of you. β
"Then you're here ........"
Taifu raised his head sharply.
He felt like he had finally heard the words he wanted to hear.
The person in front of you, hmm, how long has it been since I saw him?
The last time the palace took a quick look, and then he didn't dare to turn his head to look at her again.
Looking at her like this up close was ten years ago, right?
At that time, he was still a poor scholar, and she was still a poor girl with no father and mother.
They are nothing to be worthy of except being poor.
Although she is poor, she has a face that will make men unforgettable.
And he is, not only poor, but also ugly.
In the past, he always wondered how he was taken by her like this.
At that time, she never gave up on him, and even the silver taels that he wanted to enter Beijing to take the exam, she had to earn it for him. If it weren't for his old mother's strong opposition, it would be hard to say, the person who gave birth to Li'er with him now would be the woman in front of him.
Naturally, he asked her.
Why did you fall in love with him.
"You're honest. They don't stare at me like other men. You'll also be able to read, with a belly full of ink. I just like to read people. β
"That.... Hao Xiucai from the head of the village, he won't look at you either, he has a lot more ink than me now. His family still has money........."
"Oh! I don't want to tell you idiot!
"Ahh..........h
The scenes of the past seem to be right in front of you.
Decades have passed.
He's uglier.
But she didn't seem to change.
It's still a face that makes men can't take their eyes off.
Still a pair of big eyes that can discharge.
Except for the fine lines at the corners of his eyes that need to be seen closely, Taifu even thinks that this woman is from ten years ago.
"I ..... Isn't it pretty?"
"Bang!"
Taifu's feet did not steady, causing him to sit directly on the ground.
"Taifu!"
Fu Xiao came out of the house with an ugly flower apron tied around her waist.
"It's okay, it's okay........."
He chuckled dryly and rubbed his numb buttocks, gritting his teeth and standing up.
"Didn't I just ask you a question, what are you doing with such a big gift?"
The woman in front of her had a faint smile on her lips.
As before.
Taifu admitted that his heart, which had long been greasy, jumped violently again.
"I'm just sore feet...... It's been so many years. How can it be compared to before........"
"Naturally, you can't compare with what you used to be. I can. β
The man put away the smile on his lips, "You are indeed uglier than before." β
"You ......."
Taifu was wondering if the woman who spoke to him in the Imperial Garden that day was the same person.
"Get down to business. β
She brushed the shredded hair that was hanging from her ears.
"On behalf of the emperor, I came to see the craftsmen of the Moon Kingdom who were repairing here. It's also a royal history, right....... When will it be finished, when will I go. β
"Ahem, ahem....... Pearl, what do you say?"
"Otherwise, who do you think your comfortable house is for?"
"Didn't the prime minister prepare it for me.......?"
"Hahaha, you're so naΓ―ve. This is specially ordered by the emperor to make it for me, you, you live there........"
Her jade fingers were slightly pointed in one direction.
It is where Fu Xiao lives.
"Then this blessing smile is ........."
"He is a father-in-law next to the emperor, and now he is in charge of taking care of my diet and daily life. β
Pearl smiled kindly at Fu Xiao.
Fu Xiao bowed his head respectfully.
"Fu Xiao, you guy has lied to me for so long!"
Taifu pointed at Fu and smiled, and he couldn't say anything at all.
So, Fuxiao knows all this!
Including yesterday's wine, including today's pearls!
"Don't be angry, my lord, Fuxiao can't help himself........."
"You, you, don't say it!"
Taifu turned his back.
"Don't blame Fu Xiao, that's what I mean. If I had told you in advance, I am afraid that your character would have been hiding far away, would I still have a chance to meet you? That wine was brought by me first, could it be that you can like that wine in this world?"
Pearl's voice was farther away, "Also, what are you a big man? What are you afraid of? I won't eat you." β
"You're the emperor's beauty now! Shouldn't I avoid suspicion?"
Taifu turned around, and sure enough, he saw that Pearl was already sitting at the wooden table drinking tea.
"He's asked me to come here, what are you trying to avoid? Or are you still not letting go of me, and you're afraid .........that someone will accidentally do something to me?"
"Can you stop talking nonsense! I already have a wife and a daughter!"
His face suddenly turned red.
There was a feeling that someone had punctured something.
"That's the best. This house is supposed to be my residence. But since you've lived there and lived very comfortably, then I won't be loved...... Fuxiao, you and Xiaoxiao will tidy up my carriage well, and I will live there in the days to come.........."
"You don't have to go to the carriage!"
Taifu frowned, looking at the very domineering carriage parked outside, "I will go live with Fuxiao, and I will take my things later." You sleep in a carriage with a woman, and I sleep in a house, won't you be laughed to death when you pass it out........."
"It's still like this, so, "for the sake of others." β
Pearl held her cheeks and looked at the Taifu standing at the door.
She turned her head to the side and smiled at Fu and said, "Go get some food, I'm hungry too....... Will the Master dine with me? I'll have to pay some attention to the craftsmen later. I don't know the way, and I have to rely on you to take me there........"
"I'll take you there, and I'll eat the food. Where's the hell about eating in this place?"
"Uh-huh, it's very good, don't run away. β
The pearl's lips were filled with that faint smile again.
It looks wonderful.
"Why do you want to run away, I also figured it out, you can't do anything to me, and I can't do anything to you. Let's all live together in peace for the time being........"
"Then you mean to be restless in the future?"
"Pearl.......!"
"Just kidding, kidding!"
