Chapter 39 The Mandarin League
"You answered me last night, and now, just wait for me to ask the emperor for marriage."
"Are you kidding?" Bamboo Basket lowered his head, his eyes kept glancing upwards at Si Baylor, and he couldn't remember what happened last night.
Sibeile pinched the bamboo basket's face with one hand, and laughed angrily: "Look at you are quiet after being drunk, but you are a forgetful person, I should have done more if I knew this, I really missed this great opportunity in vain." ”
Zhu Zhen subconsciously took two steps back, looked at Sibeile with a wary face, lowered his head again, his eyes rolled, remembering the scene when he got up in the morning, and suddenly looked at Sibeile, his cheeks were cornstarched.
Sibeile smiled and took two steps forward and said, "That's right, I took off your clothes and shoes for you." ”
Sibeile moved forward, and the bamboo basket followed backwards.
Taking a step forward, Sibeile said again: "Your hair bun is also what I helped you loose." ”
The bamboo basket continued to retreat.
"I'll also help you twist the veil." Four Baylor forced the bamboo basket back to the corner step by step.
"I've seen it all, if you don't marry me, who are you going to marry?" Si Baylor propped his arms on either side of the bamboo basket and bowed his head and whispered.
The two were so close that Zhu Beile could even feel his breathing, she turned her face to the left and right, and wanted to get out from under his arm, but Si Beile didn't give her a chance at all, Zhu Zhu put his hand against Si Beile's chest, tilted his head sideways, blushed, and whispered, "You go away." ”
"Zhuzhen, you shouldn't have forgotten all about last night." Sibeile ignored Zhu Zhen's words and said to himself.
Carefully raising his eyes to look at Sibeile, Zhu Zhen felt that he couldn't use any strength at all, and pouted, "I didn't mean to. "This person, how can he be so cautious, this is clearly revenge, **naked revenge!
"Not on purpose!" Fourth, Baylor did not give up.
Biting his lower lip, Zhu Zhen lost his temper and said angrily: "Why do you say anything, why should I marry you, **, you just got married, didn't you?" Now I want to ask for marriage again, you have such a great appetite! ”
Seeing that Zhu Ji was angry, Sibeile laughed instead, let go of his arm, and let Zhu Ji vent. After a long time, the bamboo basket gradually stopped, blinked his eyes, and asked, "Why don't you speak?" Anyway, I don't want to marry you! ”
"You like me, don't you?" Four Baylor opened his mouth.
Zhu Zhen panicked suddenly, then calmed down, and said slowly: "Where is the fourth master, the fourth master is noble, and the slave and maid can't climb high." If the fourth master has nothing to do, the slave and maid will retire. After saluting, Zhu Zhen turned around and prepared to leave.
"Then why did you cry alone on the day I got married?" Sibeile's voice sounded behind him, froze the bamboo basket's figure in place.
Taking a deep breath, Zhu Zhen turned around, deliberately put on a big smile, and said: "The fourth master thought about it, maybe the slave maid acted vainly before, and he had a good impression of the fourth master, but since the lotus pond met that day, the slave and maid were dead, and after talking in the Buddhist hall, the slave and maid put it down." On the day of the fourth master's big day, the slave maid's behavior was really a collision, just because he was homesick, and the slave and maid were willing to be punished. As he spoke, Zhu Zheng lowered his head.
Sibeile frowned and walked up to Zhu Zhen and said, "Why don't you want to marry me?" Now that Huang Ama favors you, plus your family background is good, as long as I work hard, I can make you a side blessing. ”
Zhu Zhen felt that her heart was hit hard, she admired him so much, but it was just that, Side Fujin, Lord Belle's side Fujin, it sounds very good, how many people dream of it, but it's a pity that there is no her.
The heart sank a little bit, but on the contrary, he felt a lot more steady, Zhu Zhen raised his head and said: "The fourth master is loved, the slave and maid are not here, and the fourth master is also invited." ”
"Not here, then where? Eighth brother? Thirteenth brother? Fourteenth brother? Or, higher? Sibeile's voice was low, but he could no longer oppress the bamboo basket.
The bamboo basket still raised his head, smiled slightly, and said: "Count the green bamboo, a pot of thin brew, two or three acquaintances, and believe in Coke." After saying that, Zhu Zhen blessed his body and turned around and went back to the house.
With his hand on the door, Sibeile's voice sounded: "The thirteenth brother told me that the position of Side Fujin can't attract you, and I know it, but I don't give up, I think, if I can fight for you for a side Fujin position, it can give you a little more freedom, are you willing to stay by my side." Four Baylor smiled self-deprecatingly, shook his head, and said, "It seems that I am wishful thinking." ”
I thought that he would become a person who was put into his heart and slowly melted away in the years, but the thought of suppressing it bubbled again, and the bamboo basket bit his lower lip, still maintaining the posture just now, not knowing where he should go.
Sibeile took out a token from his arms, walked over, handed it to the bamboo basket, and said: "The ups and downs of honor and disgrace in the palace are all day and night, I am in one day, so I can ensure that you are comprehensive for one day, this is also the last and only time I will do something for you." ”
Zhu Zhen slowly turned around, let go of his clenched lower lip, and said, "You helped me last time, and I haven't thanked you yet." ”
Sibeile was stunned for a moment, smiled, and said, "If you don't say it, I will forget, Da Chun is also a talent, and he is now working under me." ”
Zhu Zhen nodded and said, "Thank you." ”
After a pause, Sibeile said, "Take it." ”
I don't know why, I took the token, it was heavy, and it was engraved with complicated patterns and Manchurian, Mongolian and Chinese characters.
"I'd like to ask you one more question." After a long time, Sibeile opened his mouth.
Zhu Ji looked at Sibeile and said, "You say." ”
Sibeile stared at the bamboo basket for a long time, there was struggle, mourning, desolation, and too many complicated emotions that the bamboo basket couldn't see, and Sibeile said: "If I hadn't let you be assigned to Chuxiu Palace, when I was in Changchun Garden, I didn't let you be disappointed, and when I was in the Buddha Hall, I didn't turn around and leave, then wouldn't it be you who lives in the new house now?" ”
Zhu Zhen frowned slightly, bit her lower lip tightly, and didn't dare to look into Si Baylor's eyes, she really didn't know how to answer his question, although she had thought about it, but it was all a foregone conclusion, wasn't it?
Seeing that the bamboo basket had not moved, Sibeile sighed lightly and said, "You don't have to be embarrassed, I also know that the past is the past, and it is useless for me to say eight hundred and one thousand assumptions." Dingding glanced at Zhu Zhen, and Sibeile turned around and walked out.
Sibeile walked out a meter or two, and the bamboo basket dared to raise his head, this back is so familiar, from the first meeting, she watched his back disappear little by little, every time she saw him, she would always deliberately stay, secretly watching, until his back disappeared from sight. I don't know how many times, even if it wasn't intentional, but in the past three years, I have gradually become familiar with this back to the point that I can outline him with my eyes closed.
In the future, he will lose his dearest brother, he will lose his beloved son, he will bear the hardships and loneliness alone, step by step to the center of power, but even if he stands at the top and looks down on the world, he still has to face the difficulties of his brother and minister, he has to face the incomprehension of his own mother, he has to face the hateful eyes of his brother, and he has to face the sewage and the infamy of eternity.
"Will you be tired on the road ahead?" Bamboo Basket took a step forward and asked.
Si Baylor's steps paused, but he didn't turn back, and a calm voice came, not big, but sonorous: "Yes." ”
"Give it back to you." Zhu Zhen silently stepped forward and stuffed the token into the hands of Sibel.
Sibeile looked down at the token in his hand and chuckled self-deprecatingly: "I should have known that you were such a person, and if you wanted to explain it to anyone, you would not even be implicated in the slightest. ”
Zhu Zheng's eyes looked at the Qianqing Palace, and said slowly: "I just, I don't want your road to be more difficult." ”
When Sibeile heard this, he looked at the bamboo basket, and the bamboo basket glanced at the token in Sibeile's hand, and said with a light smile: "Does the fourth master still remember the interests of the slave and maid?" ”
"A few green bamboos, a pot of thin brew, two or three acquaintances, and a letter to Coke." Four Baylor slowly spat out the ten numbers.
"Yes, in order to let the slave and maid achieve their wish as soon as possible, and in order to make the dreams of more people who have the same wish as the slave and maid come true, this token, the fourth master should take it back." The bamboo basket clasped Sibeile's hand and said with a faint smile.
Sibeile looked at the bamboo basket, and at this time she tilted her head, and the afterglow of the setting sun hit her face, which looked particularly soft. She understands him, his ambitions, his ambitions, he is for more people to achieve his wishes, so his wishes can't be achieved in this life?
"In addition to this wish, does the fourth master have any other wishes?" Zhu Zhen asked.
"Other wishes...... "Si Baylor narrowed his eyes, as if he thought of something, and said with a smile on his face, "Maybe one day, the first wish will come true, and if you are willing to listen to it then, I will tell you my second wish." ”
"Don't you really want to say it now?" Zhu Zhen tilted his head and asked.
Sibeile's already loosened fist clenched again, and his mind was full of thoughts, and he finally let go of his hand and said, "Reluctantly." ”
Zhu Zhen took two steps away from the handkerchief and said: "I was so generous when I gave the token just now, and now I have a wish, and the fourth master is so stingy, no matter what, even if the token is returned to you, the wish of the fourth master, or you should realize it yourself, the slave and maid don't talk much." While Sibeile was stunned, Zhuzhen glanced at Sibeile with some disgust, turned around and was about to go to the house, but before he took two steps, he was dragged by Sibeile.
"What do you mean by that?" Four Baylor asked.
"It's not interesting." The bamboo basket laughed and tried to break free from the hands of the four beylers.
Sibeile looked at the bamboo basket with a very affectionate expression, how could he let go of her, thought for a while, and suddenly said, "You agreed?" ”
"What do you promise or not, and what do you promise? The fourth master spoke, but the slave and maid couldn't understand it. He should have a serious face, but he couldn't help the smile in his heart, and the bamboo basket bit his lower lip, barely allowing himself to laugh out loud, and only kept lowering his head to break the hand of Sibeile.
didn't wait for the bamboo basket to break free, but was hugged vigorously by Sibeile, and she screamed in fright. Ignoring the bamboo basket's whispered begging, Sibeile held the bamboo basket and turned it around in a circle, until both of them were out of breath, and Sibeile put the bamboo basket down, but his arms were still wrapped around the bamboo basket's waist.
"You're scaring me to death! What if someone else sees it? Zhu Zhen patted his chest and glared at Sibeile with disgust, where did he notice that he had an extra pair of hands on his waist?
"My second wish is about to come true." Sibeile looked at the bamboo basket with a smile, and seeing that the bamboo basket only looked at him with a quiet smile, Sibeile took the bamboo basket's hand and said, "Hold the son's hand." ”
His face was still red, and Zhu Zhen put aside his shyness and said softly: "Grow old with your son." ”
Ears and temples grinding, Sibeiler whispered something, listen to it, the bamboo basket bit his lower lip, and the roots of his ears were so red.
