Chapter 26: Rivals in Chess (1)
Kneeling in the Buddha Tower for a night and not sleeping, zero tears this sleep is enough to make up for the three poles of the day before getting up. The palace maid waited for her to make up in front of the makeup mirror, but she called coldly, "Xiao Hengzi, I'm thirsty." ”
Little Hengzi? Jian Chun and Hua Jian looked at each other, and at this time, they saw Fu Heng holding a cup of tea in front of her and offering it respectfully. The two palace maids were shocked, the dignified imperial guards, who were called by their own masters as eunuchs? This also ...... It's appalling, isn't it?
"Xiao Hengzi, I'm hungry." A plate of jujube pastry shortbread was handed over.
"Xiao Hengzi, I'm cold." A plain velvet shawl was draped up.
The two palace maids were stunned for a moment, Fu Heng actually ran in and out willingly, what happened to the current imperial guards?
"Oops-", Zero Tears suddenly screamed, and the two of them quickly came back to their senses and looked down at her, "Gege, what's wrong?" ”
"I don't know if it's because there's one more person in this room, why do I always smell a stench, do you smell it?"
"Huh? This one...... This ......" The two of them turned around and secretly glanced at Fu Heng, and nodded in embarrassment, "It seems to ...... It seems like...... Right. ”
"Oh, you also smell it, then it must be smelly, Xiao Hengzi, go and bring the incense burner over and smoke it", zero tears held back a smile, and shouted the words "Xiao Hengzi" very hard.
Fu Heng sighed helplessly, reluctantly held the small copper stove of incense, and after turning around the room, he stood still by the dressing table, and angrily pushed the stove in front of her eyes, and the cigarette in the furnace slowly rose, flying towards her, so that she sneezed a few times in a row, and was so angry that she waved her hand to drive away the cigarette, and scolded, "Bastard slave, do you serve the master like this?" ”
"I've never been a eunuch, so naturally I don't know how to serve my master", Fu Heng replied angrily with a cold face.
When you become a fake eunuch, you dare to be so arrogant!
Zero tears phoenix's eyes widened, and it was finally able to hold back the anger in his heart and not let his not so good temper explode. She knew very well that if she wanted to deal with this guy, she must not fight hard against hard, she must overcome rigidity with softness, and she pulled Jian Chun violently, and asked, "What crime should the slave be guilty of?" ”
"This, this ......" Jian Chun looked at Fu Heng at a loss.
"If it's light, it's a slap of the mouth, and if it's heavy, it's a cane," Fu Heng replied for her.
"And which one do you choose?" Zero Tears asked with a sneer.
"Listen to Gege's fall", knowing that she couldn't get along with herself, he didn't plead, but let it go.
"Then ......", Zero Tears was about to speak, but saw Jian Chun suddenly knelt down, kowtowed three times, and persuaded, "Girl, Fu Heng is not intentionally contradictory. ”
"Oh?" Zero tears looked at her meaningfully, then at Fu Heng, and suddenly laughed, "I know, it turns out that you like him, that's why you say good things for him, no wonder!" ”
"Ahh No, no...... No...... No, it's ......", the more anxious Jian Chun explained, the more incoherent he became, and then he simply kowtowed, saying the old words in his mouth, "Slaves don't dare, slaves don't dare to ......"
Seeing this, Hua Jian also knelt down and kowtowed to plead.
Zero Tears pursed her lips rather boringly, but heard Fu Heng's cold voice sound, "They are still little girls, why do you tease them so much." ”
She glanced up at him, "It's not because you're here that they don't know how to tease." Fu Heng, you are young and good-looking, but the girls in this palace don't like to take care of you. You'll have to review it. ”
He glanced at her for a moment, "Gege mean let me talk to them more often?" ”
"You dare", she immediately stood up, looked him in the eye, and warned sternly, "It's enough to have a fourth elder brother in the palace who attracts bees and butterflies." If you give me less, you won't learn well. ”
"Yes", Fu Heng nodded, with a faint smile in his voice.
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Hua Jian immediately ran out, and soon ran back and said, "Gege, it's the third elder brother who is here." ”
She answered lightly, got up and went outside, and saw Hongshi standing at the door with his hands in his hands, and the golden light shone in from outside the door, so that half of his face was reflected in the soft sunlight, and his whole person was a little more delicate. Boys and girls, if they were placed in her era, they were destined to be extremely popular, but unfortunately, in this era, even zero tears felt that such a person always had something to do with the charm.
When he saw her come out, he smiled and said, "In his place, he must do his duty." I'll accompany Gege to say hello to Concubine Xi. ”
"Okay", she also smiled at him, "There is the third elder brother Lao", and turned back and said, "With the third elder brother with me, you don't have to go with me." ”
"Yes", Jian Chun and the flower note echoed respectfully. Fu Heng was a little uneasy, and paused for a while before saying, "Gege, otherwise I will still ......"
Before he finished speaking, Zero Tears glared back, "Are you worried about me, or are you worried about the third elder brother?" ”
Hongshi and Fu Heng looked at each other, he smiled, knowing his kindness, he would not be bored enough to provoke this hot-tempered Gege, "Fu Heng rest assured, I will naturally take care of Gege." ”
"Let's go, let's go", Zero Tears impatiently stepped out of the threshold first, and if he delayed for a while, Concubine Xi's lunch should be cold.
Sure enough, just entered Concubine Xi's dormitory, she smelled the smell of fragrant osmanthus, she inadvertently mentioned yesterday that she wanted to eat osmanthus porridge, but she didn't expect that Concubine Xi ordered someone to prepare for today's lunch, you must know that it is now winter, and fresh osmanthus nectar is extremely rare. She sniffed, smiled so much that the corners of her mouth bloomed, and recognized Concubine Xi as her mother, which was really the most correct decision she made.
"The third elder brother is also here", Concubine Xi sat on the side of the soft kang, holding a bamboo bandage and embroidery, raised her eyes and saw Hongshi and Zero Tears entering the house together, and couldn't help laughing, "In the past, Hongli rarely came with Zero Tears to ask for peace, but the third elder brother knew how to hurt his sister." ”
Hearing this, the corners of her mouth twitched, she laughed twice, turned around and sat down next to her, "What is Niangniang embroidering?" Looking down, he said, "It's a dragon!" It's embroidered for the emperor, right? ”
Concubine Xi pursed her lips and smiled. Hongshi interjected, "This embroidered is four claws, it should be a python, look at the style, it looks like a python phoenix." ”
"The third elder brother has good eyesight", Concubine Xi looked at him approvingly, "I haven't embroidered for a long time, and my technique is rusty", raised her hand and handed it to Zero Tears, "Look at it, do you still like it?" ”
Zero tears were stunned, "Give it to me?" ”
Concubine Xi nodded and said, "You belong to the dragon, so I asked Qiu Nong to look for a long time before I found the appearance of this python phoenix, embroidered on this cloud brocade satin, and made into a purse." ”
Is she a dragon? Her eyes turned slightly, not wanting to be seen the little apprehension in her heart, and immediately grinned, "Niangniang is so good to me, I have to hang this purse every day in the future, and when I die, I will pass it on to the next generation and become a family heirloom." ”
Concubine Xi's face immediately sank, and she flicked her forehead hard, "What nonsense, you can't hide your mouth!" ”
She rubbed her head, did she say something wrong?
Hongshi Wenya smiled, "Zero tears is straightforward, and I will teach her slowly in the future." ”
Concubine Xi glared at her helplessly, "I don't ask you to make much progress, as long as you are safe and sound in this life." ”
Zero Tears tilted his head and smiled, "For me, eating and sleeping enough, that is the greatest peace." ”
Concubine Xi snorted and laughed, "You girl, I really can't do anything about you, let's go to dinner." ”
Zero tears sat down at the dining table with a smile, drank two bowls of osmanthus porridge in a row, licked his lips and said, "It's delicious, sweet but not greasy, and another bowl of ......"
Seeing that she had enough to eat, Concubine Xi's eyes couldn't help but be full of doting smiles. Even Hongshi, a bystander, can see that Concubine Xi's thick and thin Peter is also a little too obvious, thinking about Hongli, who is still sick in bed at this time, he couldn't help but sigh, and kindly mentioned, "Niangniang, I went to visit the fourth brother yesterday." ”
"Oh", Concubine Xi looked back at him, "Hongli has been weak since he was a child, and he has only been able to practice stronger in the cloth warehouse in recent years." I didn't expect to get sick again after kneeling in the Buddha Tower all night, alas, if he was as strong as the third elder brother, I would be able to worry less. ”
"Don't worry about the mother, the fourth brother is just suffering from the cold, just raise it for three or five days", Hongshi comforted her.
Zero tears listened to it, and while eating with relish, he said casually, "He is not only suffering from the cold, but also convulsions." ”
"It's nonsense again", Concubine Xi said seriously, "'Convulsions' is a disease that only children get, how old is Hongli." ”
Zero tears stuck out his tongue secretly, he was either nervous, or he had exhibitionism, he took a chopstick stew venison and chewed it carefully, but what came to mind was Hongli's lean and white upper body, she hurriedly shook her head, and picked a greasy braised pork to enter.
After lunch, Zero Tears still didn't want to leave, so he pulled Hiroshi to play chess with her, he was quite flattered, and when he sat across the table from her, he looked at her carefully, blinked, and couldn't believe that he would be treated so highly by her.
Concubine Xi was also happy to see them approaching, so she set up a chess table on the soft kang, and she sat aside, continuing to embroider while watching them play chess.
Zero Tears grabbed a handful of sunspots first, and said eagerly, "Come, come, let's play Lian Wuzi." ”
Five sons in a row? Hongshi's brows jumped slightly, she actually had Yaxing playing children's games, and after thinking about it, he doubted that she could really play Go, so he reluctantly grabbed a handful of white children and played against her.
One, two, three......
"Third Elder Brother, did you really decide to put it there?" Zero tears nimbly played with chess pieces between his fingers, and looked at him with a playful face.
"Wait", frightened by her, he hesitantly withdrew his hand, scratching his face unconsciously, and suddenly saw a string of sunspots in the corner about to become "living four", he smiled and finally blocked it.
Zero Tears sighed, "Don't blame me for not reminding you", as he spoke, the sunspot fell in a dashing manner, connecting with another string of "Chong Four" chess pieces.
Hongshi's tears almost fell out, he played fifteen games, lost fifteen games, and he really didn't have the face to play chess with others in the future.
"Hahahahaha", a smug laugh sounded, "Third brother, your chess is too stinky." Luckily, we're not gambling for money, otherwise you'd have to lose naked today. ”
He pushed the chessboard unwillingly, "Come again, I don't believe it, I won't be able to win against you with such a simple thing." ”
Zero tears put the chess pieces back into the chess box one by one, and said with a bit of "king's wind" and said with a smile, "Don't look at it as simple, if you want to play at a level, it's also difficult." ”
Concubine Xi saw that she had been winning, and couldn't help but joke about Hongshi, "On weekdays, I always hear a few of you brothers show off which chess player you have won." What do you think? I've met an opponent today! ”
Hongshi quickly glanced at zero tears, lowered it again, and whispered, "I haven't played backgammon for many years, and my skills have really regressed a lot." ”
Zero tears squinted at him, and his voice was a little mocking, "If you lose, you lose, don't make excuses for yourself." Even if you practice for ten years, you will be defeated by my men. ”
"It won't take ten years, just one night", Hongshi stood up without admitting defeat, and said with a serious expression, "If Gege dares to fight again tomorrow, I will definitely defeat you." ”
"Don't dare," she said, "I'll give you one night, but I want you to stay in the garden for the night, and not be allowed to go home." Who knows if you'll find a master of backgammon to learn some cheats to deal with me when you go back. ”
"Okay", he nodded, "I'll go to the bamboo courtyard early tomorrow morning to find Gege." ”
She pursed her lips and smiled, "See you or leave." ”
