Chapter 57: The Full Moon
This year's Mid-Autumn Festival night banquet was particularly deserted, except for the necessary ceremonial sacrifices and banquets for the courtiers, the inner court did not even arrange a family banquet. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info The heart that the Manchu Dynasty had just put down was raised again, although the people's hearts were uneasy, but under the suppression of Kangxi, the ministers were at a loss. can see that Kangxi is getting old day by day, getting sick more and more times, and the matter of establishing a "prince" is only in the morning and evening, and this matter is related to the honor and disgrace of his life, and he is afraid of returning, but there are still some people who can't help it, and take advantage of the Mid-Autumn Festival period to mess around, apprentice to classmates, and secretly inquire about the news.
The court suffered a fatal blow, Yinxi asked Guo Luo Luo to be a little simpler this year, but although Guo Luo Luo Luo agreed, there are a lot of theaters, juggling, and tricks, and there are a lot of posts to be sent, Yinxi has a headache, and just wanted to reprimand a few words, but looking at Guo Luo Luo's raised eyebrows, he still didn't say anything, flicked his sleeves, and went back to the study. Zhang wanted to chase it out, but when he saw Guo Luoluo throwing his eyebrows on the dresser, he quickly knelt down. Guo Luoluo asked her to get up, and Zhang Yinyu persuaded: "Fujin, the master has been wronged in the court, at home, you just let the master take a step, so that the master is also comfortable." Guanyintu sneered: "As long as you are a virtuous person, I am a pungent one!" Yin Yu hurriedly knelt down again: "My sister doesn't dare, I just think that for this little thing, I hurt the feelings of Fu Jin and the master, which is not good news for the master and the master." As soon as she finished speaking, Guanyin Tu lay on the dresser and began to cry. Frightened, Yin Yu repeatedly asked for mercy, but Guanyintu didn't appreciate it, and still cried loudly, Yin Yu gritted his teeth and gave himself a slap, Guanyintu heard the sound, raised his head, gave her a kick, and shouted: "What are you doing!" I knew that I was not virtuous, I couldn't even give birth to a child, you are Hongwang's biological mother, you do this, in front of the master, doesn't it seem that I am more vicious! Yin Yu endured the pain, endured tears, got up, still knelt down for Guanyintu, and said: "Fujin, my sister knows that you are bitter in your heart, but I want to use the Mid-Autumn Festival to tell those villains who step on the low and worship the high that the Babeile Mansion is not so easy to fall." It's not that you don't know your hard work, the money for your Mid-Autumn Festival banquet was prepared a month ago. Say something you shouldn't say, but ...... But there is also an emperor above, the emperor doesn't like the grandeur, and the master is sandwiched between you and the emperor, and it is also difficult. You should be considerate of you, just give way! Guo Luo Luo took out the handkerchief from his chest, wiped his eyes fiercely, gritted his teeth and said: "Yes, the master can't have pomp, but I am a Heshuo Gege, and the pomp and circumstance that should be there still have to, you listen to me, this year's invitation, except for the old nine, ten, and fourteen, will be sent out in the name of the master, and the rest will be sent out in my name." I don't think anyone dares to come, and if they dare to go against my Guo Luo Luo, I will let him have a bad Mid-Autumn Festival! Yin Yu's eyes drilled into a gloomy cloud, he has always been a wife with his husband, but this Guo Luo Luo clan let his husband follow his wife, how does this make the eighth master deal with himself? Instead of this, let the eighth master become the laughing stock of the entire capital, it is better to follow her - the guest of the feast. Yin Yuqiang accompanied the smiling face and quipped: "Fujin, aren't you cheap for those stinky Beijing officials who didn't bring their families into Beijing?" They will definitely use the excuse of giving you the Mid-Autumn Festival to ask for a small room for themselves. These stinky men, they still want to make excuses when they have no excuses, and they don't go to the sky when they have an excuse. Guo Luo Luo's mouth pursed, rolled his eyes and said, "Think beautiful!" Yin Yu hurriedly said: "That's it, let's let the master come forward, anyway, our master has a big ability, and if there is anything, the master has a way to solve it." Guo Luo Luo pouted again, this is exactly what she was worried about, her A-Yuan is now being bullied by dogs in Pingyang, not treated by the emperor, and he has been in trouble for so many years, and he has been gambling for so many years, maybe he really needs her concession, she forced her face, and after drinking back from Zhang's family, she angrily tore up all the invitations......
For Guo Luoluo, the Mid-Autumn Festival is the icing on the cake in the rich township, but for the Nala family, the Mid-Autumn Festival is just a plate of moon cakes on the table, the fourth master has always been cold, does not like to be lively, and because he cleaned up the treasury, blindly upright, over the years offended the government and the opposition, and even the emperor's relatives, the door of the Yongwang Mansion is far away, in previous years, there were the old thirteen over the house lively and lively, since he was imprisoned, the Yongwang Mansion is even more lonely. From the morning to the front of the lamp, there were only two or three people who came to visit the Yongjun Palace. But Yinzhen didn't care, and after dinner, he went back to the study to read. Nala saw the coldness in his heart, and on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion, he remembered Honghui who died early, and secretly wiped his tears in the house. When he was sad and sad, the voice of the steward sounded outside the door, and Nala quickly wiped away his tears, sent the little girl out, and asked what was wrong. After a while, the little girl came back and replied: "Fujin, someone from the palace, the fourth master asked you to hurry over." Nala thought for a while, rubbed some incense powder on his face, and picked a red silk peony to put on his head before moving to the study.
When I arrived at the study, I saw Yinzhen bowing down, while Kangxi was standing in front of the bookshelf, holding the book in his hand, reading with relish. Nala's heart moved, and he hurriedly walked to the door to ask for peace: "I don't know that the emperor Ama is coming, and the daughter-in-law confesses to the emperor Ama and wishes the emperor Ama good health and good luck." ā
Kangxi reconciled the book, asked her to get up, and said to her, "I'm going to trouble you husband and wife tonight." Yin Zhen said: "It is the duty of sons and daughters-in-law to share the worries of Huang Ama." Nala chimed in. Yin Zhen waited for her to finish, and then explained to her: "Fujin, please go and prepare some wine and food and moon cakes in person, and you will send them to the small garden in the backyard, and give the key to the backyard to Toutuo." Nala glanced at her husband deeply, wanting to find some clues from his expression, I don't know if Kangxi is happy or sad when he suddenly arrives? But Yinzhen's expression was no different from usual. Nala only bowed his knees and replied yes, and then gave Kangxi a salute to retire and did what Yinzhen instructed.
Li Dequan commanded three cyan sedan chairs to enter along the back door, and after getting off the sedan chair, the three imprisoned elder brothers, Yinren, and Yinxiang, came out in turn. Yinzhen looked at Yinzhen and Yinren blankly like a sunny day by thunder, and didn't react for a long time, when his eyes fell on Yinxiang, he came back to his senses, suppressed his excitement, and stepped forward to greet the eldest brother and the old prince respectively. It was Yinxiang's turn to greet him, Yinzhen hurriedly stepped forward, wanting to help him up immediately and take a closer look, but the moment his fingers touched him, Yinzhen felt very unreal, like a dream, his feet were also soft, and he immediately felt unstable on his feet. It was Yinxiang who held him up, and the two stood up together and glanced at each other. Yinren didn't say anything, just patted Yinxiang's shoulder, Yinren didn't seem to see the small movements of the two of them, and only focused on the moonlight.
Yin Zhen led the three of them in order, a round table had been placed in the garden, there were a few simple dishes on the table, Kangxi sat in the middle, saw them coming, and asked Li Dequan to beckon them to sit down. When Nala saw this battle, the hand holding the pot was full of sweat, and the wine pot seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, as if it was about to slip out of her hand, so that she wanted to wipe her palms with the handkerchief in her arms. Seeing that they were all seated, the Nala clan first gave Kangxi Manshang, then the old prince, the eldest brother, Yinxiang, and finally Yinzhen Manshang, and after pouring, she couldn't help but glance at Yinzhen. Yin Zhen knew that he was also scared of her, so he nodded at her. Seeing Yinzhen nodding, Nala felt a little more at ease, grabbed the wine jug, and retreated to the back.
Kangxi held silver chopsticks in his hand and sandwiched a basket of vegetables for the old prince, and the old prince just wanted to stand up and thank him, but was stopped by Kangxi: "Today, just like what was said that day, borrow the fourth place to have a meal, only about father and son, regardless of monarchs and ministers." After speaking, Kangxi gave the rest of his sons, each of whom had a basket of vegetables, and instructed, "Eat." The old prince and the eldest brother put the vegetables in the bowl into their mouths and chewed them silently. And Yinxiang sandwiched a basket of vegetables from Kangxi's empty bowl before bowing his head and eating his own. Seeing that Yinzhen still didn't move his chopsticks, Kangxi said: "I don't mean anything else, you have few people here, and you don't seem to have many people in the palace, I want to spend a holiday with them quietly." After speaking, regardless of him, he began to eat the dishes of Yinxiangjia.
Although when Kangxi came tonight, he asked him to prepare a family banquet and borrow his place to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with others, but Yinzhen really didn't expect that others would be Yinren them. During the banquet, he heard Kangxi say that this was planned a long time ago, and he couldn't help but feel a little panicked in his heart, I don't know what Kangxi wants to talk about with these three people, is he a blessing or a curse after today's meal? That's why he didn't eat. But listening to Kangxi's explanation, he hurriedly ate the dishes in the bowl, since Huang Ama had already arranged it like this, he couldn't hide from it whether it was a blessing or a curse.
After Kangxi finished eating, the old prince stood up with a wine glass and said, "My son toasts Huang Ama, and wishes Emperor Ama Long a healthy body and good luck." After saying that, he drank it all. Several princes also stood up and congratulated together: "I wish the emperor Amalong good health and good luck." After congratulating him, he drank all the wine in the cup, Kangxi saw this, and was just about to raise his glass, Li Dequan whispered "Emperor" behind him, Kangxi replied to him with a "no way", and drank the wine in the cup. Nara silently came up and refilled the wine. Immediately, there was silence, except for the sound of the autumn wind blowing and the leaves rustling, as if there was no one in the garden. After being silent for a long time, Kangxi asked, "Old Thirteen, at what age did you learn to drink?" Yinxiang was suddenly named by Kangxi, understood Kangxi's intentions, and pretended to be a little embarrassed to answer: "Huang Ama Shengming, at the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet twenty-five years ago, it was indeed the sons who were naughty, secretly drank your imperial wine, and overturned a glass cup, and overturned the cowpea-red plum bottle by the way." Yinren smiled loudly, in the quiet back garden, it looked particularly abrupt. Kangxi glanced at Yinren and said with a smile: "Look, I said that the old thirteen did it, but you didn't say that the old fourteen did it." Yinren dodged Kangxi's gaze, lowered his head and said: "At that time, the thirteenth brother was not as naughty as later, but the fourteenth brother, he was very curious, and he even had to taste the medicine that the eldest brother took. ā
Today, Yinchu didn't want to say much, the matter has come to this, his life is either a high wall or a different place, accompany the emperor to admire the moon and talk about people, he really doesn't have that mood, if he can, he wants to go back to his small courtyard and continue to pretend to be crazy and stupid. But just like that, his sworn enemy Yinren still didn't want to let him go, and still burned the fire to him, which shows this person's heart! He smiled and agreed: "No, the old fourteen was not an ordinary gluttony at that time, and the prince's descendants were also able to take it right." Yinren was very bored and embarrassed by him, so he had to take a sip of the wine glass. After listening to this, Kangxi's face was not good.
Seeing this, the two brothers were attacking each other again, Yinxiang scolded in his heart: TMD fell to this step of the field, and he didn't stop, he turned his eyes to look at Yinzhen, Yinzhen pinched a wine glass, and sat there quietly, Yinxiang had to smile and said: "You all think I and the fourteenth brother are naughty now, this is not fair, compared with the tenth brother, we are a little bit of a witch." Huang Ama has a lot of good things, but they were all broken by the tenth brother, among the brothers, they have not been harmed by the tenth brother, are they? Not to mention, the eldest brother's hard bow inlaid with gems, the second brother's Duanyan of Qingpingdu, the third brother's Dong Qichang's Mobao, the fourth brother's Bayeux Buddhist scriptures, the fifth brother's agate chess pieces, the seventh brother's starling, thrush, and the eighth brother's Yushanzi, fortunately, the tenth brother grew up fast, otherwise our younger brothers would also suffer. After he finished speaking, Kangxi snorted and laughed, and asked Yinxiang: "You were still young at the time, who chewed your tongue and remembered it so clearly?" Yinxiang saw that the matter was rounded back, and said with a smile: "Naturally, it is my Jingqi Mama, when I was young, Mama nagged me, good things, you have to put them away, don't ask the tenth brother to find them." Kangxi sandwiched another dish for everyone and said, "Don't be restrained." He turned his head to Yinxiang and said, "This grandma of yours is also angry, but it's just one thing." Yinxiang pretended to be happy to eat the food, and replied while chewing: "No, Mama is thinking long-term, saving for me a 'dowry', and won't there be a foundation for opening a government and building a mansion in the future." After he finished speaking, even Yinzhen couldn't hold back, and laughed, Nala held the wine jug in his hand, lowered his head and bit his lip hard, so that he didn't laugh out loud.
After laughing, Yinzhen took a serious look at his younger brother, who had been imprisoned for several years, making him much thinner than before, and adding a little white hair to his bun. You don't have to think about it to guess that he has loved martial arts since he was a child, and he is used to being wild, and it must be uncomfortable to be confined in that small square world. He knows best about the mutual attack between the eldest brother and the old prince. And Yinxiang coincided with the death of his mother concubine that year, and was raised alone in the side hall, so he knew very little about these two things. That year, the eldest brother had just gotten married, and he had not yet opened his teeth to build a mansion, but he found a doctor in the Tai Hospital and prescribed a vice aphrodisiac in the palace. The emperor didn't have a seizure at that time, but he just spent the doctor in the Tai Hospital, and changed the teaching Sula next to the eldest brother. And less than half a year after the old prince's wedding, he secretly married Fang Fujin without a purpose, and it was Lao Jiu who took Lao Shi and Lao Fourteen out of trouble, and it reached Kangxi's ears. All kinds of things in the past are the last thing Kangxi wants to mention today, but his two elder brothers have been fighting for most of their lives, and even today, they have never let go. He doesn't know tactfulness by nature, and he is not good at laughing, if he is in the court, he can still say one, two, three, but on this occasion, he really doesn't know what to say, seeing that Kangxi's face is not good, but he doesn't know how to resolve it, so he has to pretend to be deaf and dumb. Thanks to Yinxiang, let everyone resolve the embarrassment. It is no wonder that although Huang Ama imprisoned him, he treated him differently.
After laughing, Yinren raised his wine glass: "Thirteenth brother, I respect you!" Yinxiang smiled and drank it all, Nala stepped forward to pour the wine again, and Yinxiang gave her a head: "Sister-in-law is tired for a day, let my brother hold the pot." Nala said with a smile: "It's not farming, what's there to be tired of, it's rare to have the opportunity to honor Emperor Ama, I'm too late to be happy." As he spoke, he poured wine for Yinren and Yinxiang. Kangxi instructed: "Your filial piety has been received, give it to Yinxiang, after a busy day, I will be detained here again, and I will definitely not be comfortable." Nala was about to speak, Yinzhen shook his head at her, Nala understood what Yinzhen meant, and said to Yinxiang obediently: "Then trouble the thirteenth brother." Yinxiang said "Where", and took the flask from Nala's hand. Nala knew that Kangxi had something important to talk to these elder brothers, and she was inconvenienced by being present, so she asked Kangxi to retire, Kangxi waved his hand, and Nala stepped on the bottom of the flower pot and walked out of the garden.
After the Nala clan retreated, Kangxi looked at them carefully and said, "I remember that when you were young, except for Yinren, you all liked to celebrate festivals. At that time, I was very strange, so I asked Yinren why in private, and Yinren told me that every New Year's Day, except for him, other elder brothers can take annual leave and go out of the palace to play, but only he has to follow me to the sacrifice and state banquet, which is several times more tiring than usually going to the study. As he spoke, Kangxi's gaze fell on Yinren's body, and Yinren shrank uncomfortably. Kangxi didn't seem to see Yinren's embarrassment, and continued: "At that time, I told him that he was born as a prince, unlike other elder brothers, he is carrying the future of the Qing Dynasty on his shoulders, he not only has to follow me to learn rituals and govern the country, but also to be excellent in everything and set an example for all elder brothers, so that other elder brothers can be convinced, let them assist him, and guard the country of Aixin Jueluo together!" The more Kangxi spoke, the heavier his tone became, Yinren's face couldn't hold it, he slipped out, fell under the table, buckled his head and said: "The son is guilty, please punish the emperor Amma." Kangxi suppressed his emotions and instructed Yinxiang: "Old thirteen, help your second brother up." Yinxiang half-knelt on the ground and helped Yinren up.
"I had expectations for you before, and you have let me down. That's why I had to imprison you and be a wicked father. But today, I still have hope for you, and I hope you don't let me despair. If you can do it, then I will guarantee that I will keep you safe for one day when I reign, and when I am gone, I will naturally ensure that you are safe for the rest of your life. Yinren left the table with everyone and knelt down for Kangxi again, but this time Kangxi didn't let them get up. He said sharply: "After tonight, who dares to contact the old subordinates privately, don't blame me for being ruthless!" Under the moonlight, Kangxi's face was a little hideous, but there was a bit of sadness, exhaustion and helplessness in his voice.
As soon as the words fell, Yinzhen shed a drop of sweat down his neck, Yinxiang moved uncomfortably, he didn't know what expression to do on his face, Yinren looked at Kangxi with dark eyes, and Yinzhen lowered his head and bit his lip gently.
The garden fell silent again.
Kangxi drank all the wine in the cup in his hand in one gulp, dropped the wine glass, and took Li Dequan out of the garden, leaving the four people in the garden in a daze. Kangxi walked away, and everyone remembered that they didn't say goodbye to Kangxi.
Yinren got up, took the wine jug on the table, poured it for himself, sighed, drank it all in one gulp, and turned his face to ask Yinren: "Will you stop?" Yinren picked up the wine jug and poured a glass, drank it, and said with a smile: "What about the eldest brother?" Yinchu said: "Yes, you have been the crown prince, and the new monarch will succeed to the throne, and you will die worse than me!" Yinren poured wine for Yinren and poured wine for himself: "Big brother, although you can see it through, you can't think about it, crazy has the benefits of being crazy, say whatever you want, don't think about the words 'Jun Wu joke'." After saying that, the two smiled at each other and clinked glasses.
Seeing the two of them like this, Yinzhen and Yinxiang looked at each other silently. Regarding Kangxi's warning just now, the two of them were also shocked, and they were a little hesitant whether to continue to contact privately or temporarily cut off this contact in the future.
Yinxiang sat in the sedan chair, his mood was worse than when he went out, every time he thought of his situation, he was resentful, he was sad, but the hardest thing was to worry, both for Yinzhen and Qingyue. Recently, he has always had the same dream: he dreamed that Yinzhen and Qingyue were standing on a boat, one stood at the bow and the other at the stern, the boat slowly traveled to the center of the lake, and then the boat began to leak, and the water became more and more, turning into a monstrous wave, they reached out through the big waves, and shouted to him to save them, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't catch them, and he really saw them drowned...... Every time he woke up, he was afraid, afraid that he had been trapped in this corner, that he could not help them, that he could not save them as if he were in a dream.
Over the years, although he has been imprisoned in the mansion, he has been exchanging news with his fourth brother. He also knew what the situation was outside, and more importantly, the fourth brother controlled some of his old subordinate troops through him. When Emperor Ama saw them today, he meant to cut off all ties between him and his fourth brother, and let him be a blind, deaf and fool man at home. The emperor is so jealous of them, it can only show one problem, his body is really not good, for the sake of the Qing Dynasty's Jiangshan Sheji, he is thinking about establishing a prince! I was afraid that a few convicted elder brothers would make a desperate gamble in order to turn over and disrupt the political situation, so I arranged in advance to appease and stabilize them!
After getting off the sedan chair, the little eunuch opened the curtain for him, Yinxiang raised the sedan chair under his feet, but did not see Fujin to greet him, he felt strange, turned around, but saw a familiar figure under the corridor, his heart was hot, he dropped the unhappiness just now, ran towards the person, and held her in his arms.
Qingyue and Yinxiang hugged for a long time, and Qingyue gently pushed him away: "I can only stay with you for half an hour." When Yinxiang heard this, he hugged her back into his arms tightly, as if he wanted to rub it into his bones and bury it in his body. Qingyue let Yinxiang hug her tightly for a long time before saying: "Today's Mid-Autumn Festival, I made you a moon cake, if you continue to hold it like this, that cake will probably become slag." Yinxiang let go of his hand, held her shoulder, and looked at her with a tender face.
Qingyue took out the moon cake from her arms, as expected, it had been crushed, she glanced at Yinxiang, Yinxiang smiled and snatched the cake, peeled off the paper, grabbed a piece and stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it twice, then stopped, and said to himself: Wuren's, I also like to eat. Qingyue chuckled, and then took out a piece of hibiscus egg yolk from her sleeve and stuffed it to Yinxiang. Yinxiang swallowed the five-kernel mooncake in his mouth, scraped it on Qingyue's nose, said "You~", and happily began to eat hibiscus egg yolk mooncakes. Qingyue sat on the steps, and Yinxiang also sat down, one looking at the moon and the other eating moon cakes. When Yinxiang finished eating, Qingyue took out a handkerchief and wiped his mouth, Yinxiang didn't dare to let her look at himself carefully, now, what kind of situation he is, he knows himself. So he took her hand and said: "Let's enjoy the moon together, I like to see the moon the most, especially the autumn moon, I can't see enough at night." Qingyue turned her gaze to the moon and said, "I raised a sheep in the palace, and I watched it every day, but I couldn't see enough." When Yinxiang heard this, he looked at Qingyue in disbelief: "Huang Ama allows you to raise sheep in the palace?" Qingyue pouted and said: "You see Qingyue every night, then I have to watch the sheep every day, sheep and sheep, auspicious!" Yinxiang laughed, smiled and asked Qingyue: "Today, why are you so naughty and teasing me twice." Qingyue fell into his arms and said, "Yinxiang, since I am sure of you, I will naturally plan for our future." The emperor was afraid that you and I would collude and help the fourth master to achieve great things, so he was heavily imprisoned by you. In this way, you still secretly communicate with the fourth master and meddle in military affairs, and the emperor and his old man are quite unhappy. Yinxiang listened, and there was a feeling of being played by the emperor in the palm of his hand, and the clear moon could come tonight, which was another warning from the emperor Ama through her mouth. After being quiet for a long time, he made up his mind and said, "In this case, I will no longer exchange news privately with the fourth brother in the future." Qingyue sat up from Yinxiang's arms and said with a smile: "Afraid of the emperor's means? Yinxiang skimmed her sideburns for her and said, "I'm not afraid, I'm just worried about you." I don't want to bother you. Qingyue took his hand, put it between her lips, and said, "We are the same." You must take good care, you are haggard like this, how can we feel at ease outside? Yinxiang sighed lowly, Qingyue could hear it, and this voice showed his unwillingness. She comforted him and said: "You believe me, the day you go out won't be too long, I and the fourth master, you don't have to worry, I am careful, he is more careful." You make yourself worry here, but it makes us worry more, worry about you, just let us be distracted, distracted, there will inevitably be a difference in doing things, there will be a difference......" Yinxiang put his hand on her mouth and interrupted her words, Qingyue nodded, but Yinxiang put his head on her lap and wrapped his hands around her waist. Qing Yue picked up his braids with her hands and gently stroked the white hair, as if she wanted to turn those white hairs into black hair.
Because it is the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Spring Festival Courtyard has hung a sign of thanksgiving customers. Wenxiang took a group of sisters to worship the moon, and then drank with everyone to guess the name of the flower, during the banquet, she couldn't resist a few little Nizi, and also drew one, and drew a chrysanthemum on the draw, and everyone around said that it was appropriate for the occasion, the autumn wind ** moon was rounder, but since she drew this stick, her heart was beating non-stop, she pressed her temperament, and sat with everyone for half an hour, before pushing drunk, back to Huixin Courtyard.
As soon as she entered the door, she felt that something was wrong, in the small courtyard of Huixin, Wang Bai held the child, sat on the door of the hall and took a nap, and the wine and food and cakes she prepared in the morning were not touched. She hurriedly woke up Wang Bai, and when she woke up, she saw that it was her, so she hurriedly told her that Qinglian went out at noon and had not returned yet. After hearing this, she secretly hated that she had been delayed for half an hour in the Spring Festival Courtyard, and hurriedly sent someone to Tong Ling to inform her, while she urged Wang Bai to pack up her things and leave with her.
Not long after they left, Qinglian stumbled into the small courtyard of Huixin, and she regretted going to the old mansion very much, because there were people waiting for her there.
A few days ago, she was worried about how to enter the old house, but Ji Niang gave her a chance. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, Gao Shiqi Mansion wanted to hold a Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, and invited Ji Niang and her senior brother's music class, but the cola class was not manpowered, so Ji Niang's senior brother came to invite Ji Niang, Ji Niang was not good at refusing, so she could only agree, which made her think.
Early this morning, while Ji Niang was looking for salt, she put laxatives in Ji Niang's porridge, and at noon, Ji Niang couldn't get up. She took the opportunity to ask to go to Gaofu for a trip, Ji Niang said no, she begged Ji Niang to let her enter the old mansion and worship under the original osmanthus tree to relieve the pain of missing relatives. Seeing her like this, although Ji Niang was not at ease, she had to agree. Before she left, Ji Niang also explained to her senior brother. For Wang Bai's family, she didn't dare to make it clear, she only said that she would go to buy and come back later, Wang Bai's was simple, so she believed it, and told her to go early and return early.
Entering the high mansion, her tears couldn't help but come out, a hall, a loft and a floor, these had accompanied her through the most carefree time, with a vague memory, she touched the backyard, the laurel tree was still there, seeing that there was no one around, she bowed to the laurel tree three times. As soon as he got up, a bewitching voice sounded behind him: "Yo, what does this mean, do you want to win the Toad Palace tonight?" She suppressed the panic in her heart, looked back, Qi Hong, who was wearing a water-green vest, stood against the wall, and she was relieved to see that it was someone in the music class. smiled: "Let my sister laugh, my sister has never been on such a big stage, so I don't know the bottom of my heart, I bow down but ask for peace of mind." Qi Hong shook his face and said: "Don't think that if the master asks you to come today, you can be arrogant, do things in my Yile Fang, and don't forget the priority." If you break the rules, I won't let you go! She just wanted to reply to Qi Hong, when the door rang, and a middle-aged woman came out of the house, wearing a silver-white piping embroidered robe, holding a red sandalwood jade cigarette stick in her hand, and only a golden hairpin on her head was loosely tied in a bun, with a lazy face. The woman came out, without saying a word, but first glanced them up and down with her eyes before asking, "Who let you in?" She hurriedly leaned over and saluted the woman, and said, "When the slave saw the osmanthus pressing the branches in the courtyard, he came uninvited, disturbing the peace of the lady, please forgive the lady, and the slave will go out." So saying, he stepped back. Seeing this, Qi Hong also wanted to withdraw from the courtyard with her. But the woman standing on the steps didn't want them to get out easily, and shouted "Daring! The two hurriedly stopped.
"You should be this high-ranking mansion, it is your drama garden, you can leave if you want, and stay if you want?" The woman sneered. Qi Hong heard that the woman was reprimanded, and immediately pointed at her and said, "Madam, slaves know the rules, give slaves a hundred dares, and slaves don't dare." The slave followed her in. The woman's eyes fell on her, and she said coldly, "If you have a good skin, you want to climb the high branches, and you don't need to play with your little thoughts." Don't worry, with me, you can't turn the sky with a fox. She was a little angry, but after all, she had been in the wind and moon, and this kind of jealous verbal war was nothing. She saluted the woman again, and said with a smile: "Madame has misunderstood, the slave is married." It's just that tonight's festival, the master and uncle are not enough, so they asked for the teacher, but it is not a coincidence, the teacher is in poor health, and it is inconvenient to enter the house, so he sent the slave away. After the slave and the master and uncle finished "Praying for the Moon", they were about to leave the house, and the in-laws and children at home were still waiting for the slave to return to serve. It was indeed because of this flower that the slave entered the hospital without permission. After hearing this, the woman looked her up and down again, and said with a slight threat: "Then you can do it yourself!" With that, he turned and went into the room. She glared at Qi Hong, raised her feet and walked out of the courtyard by herself.
Turning the courtyard, the main courtyard next to it was where her grandparents lived, and she didn't dare to look any further, so she hurried back to the lower room. The head of the class has asked people to bring snacks, and everyone in the class gathers together, drinking tea and eating snacks, and when they see her come in, they all warmly greet her to eat snacks, she bends her knees to everyone, takes a piece of snacks, hides in the corner, and eats slowly like chewing wax. Qi Hong threw the curtain in, looking unhappy, seeing that it was her, everyone seemed to have boiled water that had vented the fire, and they were all quiet, holding their own snacks and eating by themselves. Qi Hong Yin and Yang said strangely, "You can only eat", but no one paid attention to her, she also took a piece, sat down in front of the dresser and ate it.
In the evening, the head of the class came and told everyone to get ready, and after the high-level meeting, the ceremony was about to start. She sat with the piano in her arms, and today she tried her best to come in, but found nothing. After a while, according to the arrangement, she and the class owner were about to leave the house after "Praying for the Moon", she was unwilling, only hesitated for a moment, she put down the piano, went to the toilet with a sound, and ran quickly to the backyard.
The courtyard has not changed much, but the "astringent sound" hanging in front of her grandfather's study has become "Yayi", as soon as she entered the courtyard, someone asked: "This sister looks at the face?" Which wife did you work for? She followed the voice and saw that it was a teenage boy, so she bowed lightly and said: "The slave is a person from Yile Fang, who entered the house today, greedy for the scenery in the house, accidentally lost the earrings, and is looking around." The little girl smiled and said: "Sister said that I laughed, I am on duty today, and my sister has not entered this hospital, how can I lose something here?" She pretended to be puzzled and said, "This is strange, this afternoon, I was watching the osmanthus in this courtyard?" When the little girl heard this, she covered her mouth and said, "It turns out that it was my sister who was arguing with Aunt Cai this afternoon." She was a little annoyed when she knew that the afternoon's events had been listened to, but at this time, she could only pretend to be embarrassed and put her head down.
"Gao An, what are you talking about outside?" There was a voice in the study.
Gao An slipped in, and another gust of wind came out, and said to her: "Girl, my son-in-law let you in." After saying that, he grimaced at her.
She is a person who has come over, so she naturally knows that the inner mansion of the deep mansion is not much cleaner than that Qin Qi Chu Pavilion, and with the identity she is currently using, the people inside may not have no thoughts, but if she does not enter this place, she will be equal to coming for nothing today. The little guy saw that she was not moving forward, and said to her with eyebrows and eyes: "Sister, you go in, see my son-in-law, say a few more good words, the son-in-law is happy, let the people of the whole house help you find it, you just lost a needle, you can't find it." She sneered in her heart, but she could only say, "Then I really have to beg this son." ā
When I entered the house, there was a person sitting on the recliner in the house, in his early twenties, dressed in a red robe, unusually white, and what was even more strange was that a big man had a pair of peach blossom eyes, and when his eyes lingered, he actually brought out twelve points of romance. When she saw this person looking like this, she was disgusted, but she greeted him with a smile. The man just said and said to the little guy behind her: "Sure enough, he looks good, like an orchid like a chrysanthemum, not a vulgar fan, no wonder Cai's is angry." The little guy laughed: "The little one went out." The boy grabbed a sachet and smashed it at the little guy: "You big fart, what are you doing?" What do you know! The little guy grabbed the sachet and said: "The slave doesn't understand, as long as the son understands." After saying that, he ran away.
There were only two people left in the room, her heart hung in her throat, she could only be Wang Yi's person in this life, and it was impossible for her to enter the red dust again, she thought of the silver hairpin on her head.
The boy looked her up and down again and asked, "Are you married and have children?" She replied yes, Childe said that it was possible to get married, but it was not very similar to having a child. He asked her if she could sing a song, and if she could, she would sing a song to him. She cleared her throat and sang a song "Huansha Creek", the boy listened quietly, high-fived and praised: "People are not vulgar, and the song is not vulgar, but your heart has been boating with 'Fan Li', but today you are in my house and turning the clouds up and down, why?" She listened, sweating from her forehead, not knowing how to answer.
"If you don't say it, then let me say it." Behind the screen came another person, and in the candlelight, when she saw the man's face, she sat on the ground in astonishment.
"Han Jiu!"
"It's me, Qingyue's little trick, it's okay to deal with the people in the government, but if you want to deal with me, it's a little worse!"
At that moment, she wanted to die!
Han Jiu said: "Since you are here, there must be something in this room, do you take it out yourself, or will we help you find it?" ā
She regretted ten thousand times in her heart, but she couldn't move when she stood still. At this time, a masked man flew in under the corridor, facing Han Jiu and the two of them, Han Jiu dodged and rescued the man in red. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the masked man picked her up from the ground and ran. When she got up to the roof, the masked man put her in the darkness of the horse's horns, and she flew westward. She understood what the masked man meant, and leaned against the wall, just hiding her body in the dark. The sound of rubbles sounded, someone had already chased her, she quickly held her breath, did not dare to move, the two stopped behind her for a moment, and then chased west.
The voice of the man in red sounded in the courtyard: "Master, who do you think rescued the Ru family?" An old voice replied: "Today's Mid-Autumn Festival, yes, everyone who should come is here, who will kill the deer, it all depends on ability." Hai'er, you ask your junior sister to prepare it. Then report to your father that you have seen termites in this yard, and you need to find someone to repair them. Do you understand what Master means? The man in red smiled and understood. After answering, the two moved to the front yard.
She had been squatting on the roof with fear, and only some people had entered and exited the courtyard one after another, and Han Jiu and the others never turned back. It was not until midnight that the masked man returned, picked her up, got off the roof, and led her out of town. Out of the city, she leaned on the tree by the roadside, and after a long time, she came back to her senses and wanted to ask the man again, but the man had disappeared into the moonlight at some point.
