It was already the time to hold the lamp, and the sky was gradually getting dark. Sikong got out of his carriage and stood in front of his house, looking at the three big words of "Sikong Mansion" on the top of his head, which were the words that the emperor personally mentioned for their family, representing the supreme glory. At that time, he had not yet reached the age of a weak crown, and he only felt that these three words brought them supreme grace and glory, and a symbol of envy and admiration by everyone. But now, these three words are an incomparably heavy burden in his eyes.

The drizzle was still falling, and it had been raining all night and day. The raindrops under the light can be seen more clearly, strings like lines. There were a lot of moths around the lampshade, and it seemed that a rainstorm was coming.

Walking towards the house, it was quiet all around. There are not many people in Sikong Mansion, so naturally it is not very lively.

The housekeeper stood in the front hall and looked around, and finally waited for the young master of this Sikong Mansion, so he hurriedly stepped forward and greeted: "The young master is back." ”

"Well, are you okay in the house?" He asked, knowing that nothing had happened, but he was still used to asking.

The butler bent down and smiled, "Okay, everything is fine." At noon, the young lady accompanied the old lady to play chess for a while! Oh, by the way, the old lady let you go over. ”

"Did you say what it was?"

"The old slave doesn't know either."

"Okay, I'll go over now." As soon as he took two steps, Sikong turned his head again and said, "You go and tell the young lady, and I will go back in a while." ”

The butler nodded again and again and said, "Hey, okay." ”

Before, he wouldn't have done that. Even if he came back in the middle of the night, he wouldn't send someone back to pass the word, but today I don't know why, everyone has already arrived at the house, and he will only see her later, but he sent the housekeeper to tell her, so that she doesn't have to worry.

Before, because of the child, he let himself pay more attention to her and give her a little more care and comfort, as a compensation for her. But now, he seems to be unconsciously willing to get close to her, taking her as his wife.

Wrapped around the cloak to protect him from the rain, he walked around the crooked porch and strode towards his grandfather's yard. The old lady's yard is on the middle line of the house, so it will naturally arrive soon.

Entering the courtyard, the little girl who was in charge of taking care of her grandfather was already standing at the door, and when she saw him coming, she pointed to the back room and said that the old lady had been waiting for a long time. So he took off his cloak and handed it to the little girl, and he stepped in.

Grandpa is in his prime, with gray hair, a face full of vicissitudes, sunken eyes, and wrinkled palms. Wrapped in a long robe, it exudes an elegant atmosphere, as if it has the wind of fairy bones. However, the power of holding the pen in his hand is still strong and powerful, and the handwriting is natural and proud.

Sikong stood a few feet away from him, and when he put away the pen and breathed a sigh of relief, he called softly: "Grandpa." ”

The old lady raised her head and said, "I'm back." ”

"Yes, Grandpa has dinner?"

The old lady put down her pen, took a sip of the teacup on the side, and said, "You are not at home all day, so your daughter-in-law can talk to me." Otherwise, I'd be dumb. She has already used it with me just now, if you haven't used it yet, I'll let the kitchen heat it up for you. ”

"I'm sorry, grandpa, it's the grandson who is not filial, and he can't be filial piety."

The old lady walked around the table, walked to the chair on the other side and sat down, pointed to the chair beside him, meaning to let his grandson come and sit, and walked over with a comprehension. The old lady continued: "You are now a person with a heavy responsibility, and the emperor trusts him, so naturally the courage on his shoulders is heavier and busier. I'm not blaming you, it's just a child, officialdom is sinister, be careful in everything! ”

"Grandpa, I understand."

"Grandpa is old, and he can't help you anymore. The emperor is now reused for the Sikong family, which is a great honor. ”

Sikong Jun was a little confused, and said, "Grandpa, will this really be a great honor?" Today's court situation is unpredictable, and after this year's scientific expedition, there will definitely be a large number of new faces in the court. Sikong has now become the target of public criticism, is this really good? ”

The old lady glanced at him and said in a deep voice: "Once a son of heaven and a courtier, you and the emperor are good friends." Whether you sit in the position of this squire today, you will be a thorn in the side of others, because you are a friend of the emperor and a celebrity around the emperor. Collecting military power, cracking down on corrupt officials, and purging the dynasty are what every emperor will do after sitting in that position. Qin Shi Huang is like this, and Liu Bang is the same, this is the only way for the Zhou State to develop rich and strong. The Sikong family is a family trusted by the emperor, and he naturally wants us to remove the obstacles that hinder the implementation of his policies for him. ”

"Grandpa, to put it mildly, do you really not mind if the emperor uses us like this?"

"Children, between monarchs and ministers, between monarchs and ministers, you must grasp the degree and never overstep it. He wants us to die, and we can't live, let alone take advantage of it. You can still be used by him, which shows that you still have a certain value in his heart. The Guo family has fallen, the Zhang family has fallen, and the Yuan family has also fallen, and next, I am afraid it will be the Zheng family, the Ji family, or your father-in-law's family. ”

Sikong looked at the fire candle on the table, and there was a crisp sound of "crackling", like firecrackers set off during the Spring Festival. "Grandpa, if the emperor wants to deal with the Wang family, what should we do?" The Sikong family and the Wang family are in-laws!

The old lady stood up, took the scissors on the side, walked to the candle, and gently cut off the wick that had grown. said: "The world is the emperor's world, whether it is the courtiers or the common people, they are the emperor's people." What we can do, child, is to help him cut off the excess wick as much as possible, and not try to add an extra thread to the wick. Instead of making the candle shine brighter, it will burn you, you know? ”

"Grandson understood."

"It's good to understand." The old lady put down the scissors, turned around, and said, "It's very hard for Zhen'er to be pregnant, you have to care more about her." Child, she is the one who will accompany you through your life, treat her well. Those who can't get it, just keep it in your heart and treat her as a memory. ”

Sikong stood up in astonishment and said in surprise: "Grandpa, what are you talking about?" ”

"You're my grandson, and I know what you're thinking wherever your eyes turn. I don't know who you have in mind, and I don't want to care. But Zhen'er is indeed a good wife, a good mother, and it is your blessing to be able to marry her. Children, people must know how to cherish blessings. ”

"Grandpa." This is what Moyu and Grandpa said, and they all let him put it down and cherish the people in front of him. But do they understand that it is so easy to let go of a sweetheart?

"Alright, it's not too early, let's go back! Rest tomorrow, stay with Zhen'er! ”

"Yes, grandpa, grandson is leaving."

The old lady looked at the back of his grandson leaving, shook his head helplessly, and sighed. The men of the Sikong family are all infatuated, and his son loves his daughter-in-law very much, so much so that after the son left, the daughter-in-law also went, leaving behind a grandson who had not yet been governor. Now his grandson is not cherished by his daughter-in-law, and he falls in love with another woman.

Asking what is the situation in the world is a promise of life and death. He has taught books and educated princes all his life, but he can't explain what love is.

The night is getting thicker, the candle fire in the room emits the smoke of smoke, and a few big characters on the desk are the ink treasures that the old lady has just completed, the handwriting has just dried up, and it still exudes a slight smell of ink.

Ten years to open up the world, ten years to support the people, ten years to the world is enough.

These are the words he said on the day he ascended the throne.

------------------------------

Jade Immortal Palace.

The sound of the piano is melodious and tactful. Sometimes it is calm like two people in the drizzle, sometimes it is shocked like thousands of troops, fighting on the battlefield, sometimes whimpering, sometimes sad and angry. Slow and urgent, high and low.

In the dark night outside the hall, flickering and flickering, flickering and flickering, outside the lampshade under the corridor, there were more and more moths, more and more dense, scrambling to pounce on the candle, once their wings touched the candle, that is, the moment of the end of their lives.

The person who plays the piano has put down his hand, but the music has not dispersed, and it is still winding around the beam.

"This is Ambush on All Sides." Ji Feicui, who was lying on the couch, turned his head sideways and said, "I have never heard you play the piano, and I didn't expect your piano skills to be so high." In the sound of the piano just now, I seemed to see the battle on the battlefield and the helplessness of defeat. ”

Mo Yu put his hands on the piano and said, "Since I entered the palace, I haven't played the piano again, but I didn't expect my hands to be rusty." ”

"I really admire you, living in such a deep mountain and forest, being self-taught, and having such a high attainment, this woman in Beijing, I guess there is no one who can compare."

"There are mountains beyond the mountains, let alone this time and that time. We have been in this palace for too long, and the world outside the palace has long ceased to be our world. ”

Ji Feicui turned his head and looked at the beam above his head, and sighed: "I don't know, how long have I been in the palace, it seems that many years have passed." At the beginning, they told me that when I entered the palace, I would have glory and a position of power that everyone would envy. When I enter the palace, I will be the most enviable position for women in the world, and then consolidate the position of the family. But now, look at what I have become, grace, status, power, I have nothing. But my life is in danger, my family is on the verge of collapse, and they seem to have overestimated my ability. If they had chosen you in the first place, would it have been a different ending? ”

"I don't know." Mo Yu looked at the twinkling sky outside the hall and said, "The fate of people is like lightning, flashing and flashing, and it can change forever overnight. If they had chosen me in the first place, maybe there would have been another ending, who knows? ”

"It's also said that what is hypothetical, no matter how hypothetical it is, cannot be true." Ji Fei followed Mo Yu's point, looked out the window, and said, "This lightning flashed so fiercely, I'm afraid it's going to rain heavily." These two days have always been rainy and irritating, and it is finally going to be a big one. I hope that after the heavy rain, it will be sunny on this day! ”

"After the heavy rain, it may be sunny, or it may be continuous heavy rain, but you should still be mentally prepared." Mo Yu continued to raise his hand to stroke the piano, this time, it was no longer the high-pitched and passionate like the previous song, but a lingering song - Phoenix Seeking Phoenix.

Ji Feicui listened to it for a long time, listened to it, and couldn't help but tears slipped from the corners of her eyes, and even she didn't pay attention to herself. She remembered the scene when she first met the man, that day, when she returned from the Great Xiangguo Temple to incense, the carriage broke down on the road, and she walked down and stood aside to rest. Then there was a carriage with the sign of Sikong Fu, and when it passed by their carriage, it stopped slightly, and the people in the carriage lifted the curtains and asked what was going on.

As soon as the curtain was lifted, the handsome face as warm as jade appeared in her sight. His gentle eyes were as gentle as water, and there was a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, just like the warm sun in spring, which suddenly warmed her whole body. It was the first time she had seen him, and since then, that glimpse has been deeply imprinted in her mind and will never be forgotten.

The servant next to him told him that it was fine, just that a carriage was being repaired. Then he lowered the curtains of the car, and the whole time he didn't look at her. Later, she sent someone to Sikong Mansion to inquire, only to know that there was a little young master in Sikong Mansion, and she did everything possible to see the little young master of Sikong Mansion, and she was sure that the gentle young man she saw that day was Sikong Jun, the grandson of Sikong Taifu.

It's just that at that time, Sikong Jun was only a supervisor in the Guozi Prison, and his position was not high, so he naturally couldn't get into the eyes of the Ji family. This long-sought unrequited love finally came to an end. However, although many years have passed, even if he doesn't know her intentions, even if he has a wife now, she still misses the young man like a spring breeze, lingering.

"Moyu, you say, what are we giving up our life's happiness, what we love, and our freedom outside the palace to enter this palace?"

"People outside the palace want to come in, people outside the palace want to go out. In and out, it's just a door, and if you take a wrong step, you will end up in two heavens. ”

The door of the palace is not so easy to open, and once it is opened, someone is bound to come in and then someone goes out. However, not just a person can come in, and no one who comes in can go out casually. Everyone who comes in is carefully chosen by God, and there is no escape.

Ji Feicui said: "And in this palace, no one is alive or ghost, I would rather live vigorously, even if my life is short, I have no regrets." Just like Yu Ji, you don't have to be patient in love, you don't have to live in restraint. ”

"Zi Fei Yu knows fish, how do you know that Yu Ji has no regrets in her heart? The story of her and Xiang Yu ended with the ending of her death, and good stories spread. But if Yu Ji is not dead, and Xiang Yu is still alive, do you say that their story is still a good story? Won't Xiang Yu fall in love with another Yu Ji again? ”

In her life, there was no one who made her willing to give up her life. Maybe there were, but that's just the time.

"Crackle."

"Boom."

"Huh."

Mo Yu was startled by the sudden thunder, and the sound of the piano was broken, and the song was not finished.

Xiang Rong ran in, and said while closing the window: "Niangniang, it's going to rain heavily." ”

Ji Feiyu felt that she didn't know when she was shedding tears, reached out and wiped it gently, looking at the crystal tears on her fingertips, she couldn't help laughing at herself, when was the last time she cried, she didn't remember anymore.

"Concubine Xian, it's going to rain, do you want to cover a blanket so as not to catch a cold." Xiang Rong asked again.

Ji Feicui looked at someone who was busy, and couldn't help laughing: "You still have the heart to care about me, I thought you wanted me to be sick?" ”

"Cut, spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain."

Ji Feicui turned her head to look at her sister and said with a smile: "Your maid is quite knowledgeable, and she can say a word from everyone when she opens her mouth." ”

"Hmph, that's our mother's good teaching."

Mo Yu didn't participate in their conversation, but got up and walked into the bedroom, picked up the brown box on the table and walked out, looking at the sky outside hesitantly.

When Ji Jade saw the things in Mo Yu's hand, he sat up violently and asked worriedly, "Have you really thought about it?" ”

"Stay here and don't go anywhere."

Xiang Rong naturally thought of what the master was going to do, so he approached and asked, "Niangniang, it's about to rain outside, otherwise let's wait for the rain to stop and then go!" ”

"No need. Such a day, just right. After speaking, he didn't wait for him to speak, he walked out of the Jade Immortal Palace, blended into the night, and under the lightning, he could vaguely see a figure, but it was only for a moment, and he disappeared all of a sudden.

Ji Fei walked to the position where Mo Yu was standing just now, and said leisurely: "This rain is really good, it can wash away all the haze, wash away all the dust, and wash away all the traces." (To be continued.) )
