Chapter 8 Broken Mirrors Are Hard to Complete
Narcissus swallowed his saliva and still couldn't concentrate, feeling that his tears were about to flow out, he quickly turned his head, covered his mouth and said that he was not feeling well, and he couldn't continue to drink with them today, and asked Sin to accompany them to drink to their heart's content another day.

After saying that, he quickly rushed out of the private room, and before a few people could react, the door had been closed. Narcissus suddenly felt his legs become so heavy that he could barely take a step forward, and he leaned against the pillar by the door and looked up at the ceiling, hoping that the tears would not fall.
As soon as the housekeeper Wu Da saw it, he immediately ran over to help him, he took a few steps and pushed the housekeeper away, explaining that he was unwell and went back to the room to sleep first, and then sent dinner when Ping'er came back.
When Narcissus went down the stairs, Sun Gongzi Zhao Gongzi happened to enter the door and shouted Brother Narcissus, at this time he already felt that his eyes were sour, and tears were swirling in his eyes, and he was afraid that his eyes had turned red, so he ignored them and turned around and entered the yard through the back door. The two of them felt very strange, looked at each other and stopped there, "I haven't said I want to go to the Spring Festival Building, - eh, what's the matter with your son-in-law?" Zhao Gongzi asked while dragging a guy.
The guy didn't say anything for a long time, Wu Da hurriedly ran over and explained: "The two sons are more forgiving, our son-in-law's body suddenly felt unwell and went back to the room to rest first, just now he was in a bad state, and he couldn't greet the two sons, so he was more tolerant and more tolerant." ”
Zhao Gongzi waved his hand and went up to the second floor without saying anything, and Wu Da looked at their backs from behind and shook his head. I thought, this brother who is called a brother on weekdays, I heard that our son-in-law is unwell, and he doesn't have a word of concern.
After the two sons went upstairs, they saw that the door was closed in the private room that Lord Shui liked, and Sun Gongzi pointed to the door and asked Wu Da: "Is it Lord Shui?" Wu Da nodded, and he looked at Zhao Gongzi again, "Shall we go and say hello?" Zhao Gongzi also nodded, and the two walked over together.
After Narcissus left the private room, everyone kept talking about what he had just lost his temper. Xu Zhutou felt that the jade pendant looked nothing special, and he didn't understand that the narcissus boy was stunned. Zhang Zhutou laughed at him for being a rough man who didn't know how to appreciate these jades, he felt that the temperament of the narcissus was very suitable for wearing jade pendants, maybe he had been looking for a piece that suited him or could be matched at a glance all these years.
Zhang Zhutou looked at Yiyun again and asked him if this jade pendant was very valuable, Yiyun picked up the jade pendant and asked him to touch it, saying that this is an ordinary jadeite, he doesn't know much about the value of this thing itself, and every child in the house will get a piece when he is born, and his name will be engraved on it.
He paused for a moment and looked at the jade pendant and said: "This itself is a family token representing identity, for me, the remaining half of the piece after breaking off is the most important thing, and it has nothing to do with its own value." Xu Zhutou interjected: "The other half of the ......", and heard a knock on the door before he finished asking.
After the door opened, Zhao Gongzi and Sun Gongzi walked directly to Lord Shui, saluted and called Uncle Shui, and then glanced at the dining table, their eyes fell on Yiyun, and the two of them glanced at each other and said, "I've seen Mr. Wei catch his head." Yiyun returned the salute and was stunned in a daze, recalling a circle in his head to make sure he didn't know these two people.
"Fourth Young Master, these two are the sons of Lord Yin Zhao and Lord Sun." After the introduction, Lord Shui motioned for the two sons to sit down.
As soon as Zhao Gongzi sat down, he opened the chatterbox, pretending to be mysterious and asked everyone if they had noticed the Kangfutang in the east of the city, everyone subconsciously shook their heads, and he emphasized that it was the medical hall of the old man and son-in-law's house. Zhou Zhutou interjected and said that everyone knows about this relationship, but they don't know what happened to Kangfutang.
"I heard from the brothers that it has been closed for three days, what, isn't it normal?" Zhang Zhutou asked. "It's not abnormal to close the business, but I heard that the Kang family's house was sold, and the whole family left the capital overnight, so there is no need to sell the house when you go back to your hometown to visit relatives." Zhao Gongzi raised his eyebrows after speaking.
Zhang Zhutou didn't know about the sale of the house, and he felt strange when he heard it, and then asked him what news he had, he took a sip of wine and said: "Is there any news, I guess it was because I was afraid that my family would find me, so I escaped overnight." They are also too bold, no matter what serious illness or strange disease they dare to accept, during this period of time more and more people died, although they are all incurable diseases in other places, but it still affects their reputation. ”
Zhou Zhutou poured a glass of wine next to him, pursed his lips and interjected: "Hey, this is not simple, the next time Master Qian comes to the mansion again, you will know." They are in-laws, and no matter how anxious they are, the old man must know the situation of the Kang family. ”
"Kill people, sell the house overnight and disappear, and be in-laws with Master Qian." Hearing these keywords, Yiyun was very sensitive. He lowered his head and began to recall Master Qian's previous actions and the encounter with thieves in the Qian Mansion.
He boldly guessed that the two families must have done something unseemly. The Kang family's departure from the capital should be related to the thief Guanyin, ordinary thieves don't have this ability and are not willing to work hard to force the Kang family to leave the capital, and the thief who fought him in the Qian Mansion that night should also be Guanyin.
I was about to look up and say what I thought, and I noticed that everyone had already started to talk about something else. Whoever married the son of the family married a maid as a concubine, whoever killed the wife of the family, and whose tavern offended the young master of the official family and was smashed ....... Yiyun couldn't interject at all, just think about it, this is not a government office after all, everyone just found a random topic to talk about, looked at their radiant expressions, and drank two glasses by themselves.
Ping'er came back with a packet of medicine, walked directly to the backyard kitchen, handed it to the guy and asked, "Is Childe's dinner ready?" The man nodded, "Then I'll bring it over now, take the medicine half an hour after eating, and cook the medicine right away." ”
Appleball walked into Narcissus's private room with the food and saw that there was no one inside, thinking that it might be a toast, so she sat down and waited. Two quarters of an hour had passed and Narcissus had not returned, so she took the large bowl that had been covered with her meal, probed the temperature with the knuckle of her index finger, and sighed.
She asked the man to take the food and heat it, and she stood in the corridor and began to call the housekeeper, not caring if it would affect the guests, only hoping that Narcissus would understand that she was looking for herself when she heard her calling the housekeeper. She swept the doors of several private rooms and muttered: "My stomach hurts in the afternoon, and I don't know how to control ......."
Seeing Wu Da coming out of a private room, without waiting to ask, Wu Da said excitedly: "My aunt, you are back, my son is afraid that he has a stomach problem again, and he looks very uncomfortable, and he has gone back to the room to rest." ”
When Ping'er heard this, she immediately ran to Narcissus's room, pushed open the door and saw him lying on his side facing the wall, and asked softly, "Is Childe asleep?" Narcissus didn't reply, she walked over lightly and picked up the quilt, and was about to cover Narcissus when she found that he had his eyes open, and he was holding a jade pendant in both hands.
She stroked Narcissus's shoulder and shouted twice more to Childe, but there was still no response, he seemed to be sleeping with his eyes open. Ping'er looked at him with a frown, and was about to pull his right arm to take the pulse, when he got up and threw himself into Apple's arms, his hands on her back, and the gravity of his whole body pressed on her.
Narcissus had never looked like this before, and Appleball was startled, patting him on the back and asking what was wrong. The two of them hugged and stood still for a while, and then Narcissus got up and handed it to Ping'er Yupei and said, "I saw him today, it turns out that the master of the Wei family is Uncle Guo, and he is now the chief catcher of Jingzhao Mansion." ”
Ping'er looked at the word "cloud" on the jade pendant and asked, "The young master Wei you have been mentioning is the fourth young master of the National Uncle's Mansion?" Narcissus nodded, "Then you should be happy to see him again, why is he so weak, he still looks very sad." ”
"I," Narcissus paused, swallowing the words. Ping'er looked at him and waited for him to continue, "I'm not sad, I just remembered something from the past. I used to want to find him, but now that I'm ......, I'll never let him recognize me. ”
"What's wrong with you now? How many victims of the disaster in the whole country depend on you to survive. "Ping'er doesn't like to hear Narcissus say that she is not good, and she is a little anxious.
Narcissus shook his head and said, "If I hadn't embarked on this path, even if it was really the back kitchen of the restaurant, the running hall, or even the beggar, I would have gone to him, and it could be regarded as the realization of the original promise." But now I have become the thief I hate the most, and he is the chief catcher of Jingzhao Mansion, and he is responsible for catching thieves, I really can't imagine what kind of expression I will face him in front of him. ”
Ping'er was a little confused and mentioned Li Zhutou, he was also responsible for catching thieves, why could Narcissus meet him very normally, and it was as Guanyin, Narcissus shook his head and said that this is completely different.
Ping'er lowered her head and pondered for a while, then suddenly looked up as if she understood something and said with a smile, "Then from today onwards, let's give up this path and start over." Hearing this, Narcissus was stunned, sighed in a few seconds and continued: "Even if I give up now, I can't erase the things I did before, and I can't wash the mud seeping into my skin when my feet go deep into the mud, and why should I give up, there is no need to ......." After saying that, he lowered his head.
Ping'er looked at him, and felt that although he said this, he was actually very unwilling in his heart, and hated himself for walking on this road, and he must have cried when he saw that his eyes were red. Speaking of which she blames herself, Ping'er thought about standing up and turning her back to him and said, "You went to steal steamed buns in order to save me, and slowly began to steal buns, steal meat and steal money, after all, I caused you to be burdened." ”
Narcissus immediately shook her head when she heard it, telling her not to have this thought, at that time, the two of them were hungry for several days without food, and if they didn't steal steamed buns, they would starve to death, and there was no way to start stealing money later, who didn't want to live their duty, but they didn't want to taste the taste before starvation. Although I hate myself, I will not blame anyone about the path I have chosen.
Ping'er stood still, and Narcissus got out of bed and walked up to her, helping her and saying, "My good sister, I'm hungry, didn't you go and buy me stomach medicine, hurry up and let me eat and take medicine." That's the end of today's business, let's not think about it anymore. As he spoke, he pushed her out.
After Ping'er went out, Narcissus picked up the jade pendant and looked at it for a while, and some childhood pictures appeared in her head, and she smiled when she thought about it. After a while, he lowered his head to look at his current dress, suddenly put away his smile, shook his head, took a deep breath, and put the jade around his neck and stuffed it into his clothes.
When Ping'er walked to the first floor, she heard a noise at the gate, and a person wearing a guard's costume was anxious to see that Lord Shui was stopped by a guy, no matter who was wearing an official uniform, he was forbidden to enter the Narcissus Residence, and Lord Shui was no exception, not to mention a small chief of guard.
