Chapter 887: Mirrors
A few days later, Zhang Junyao returned to Mingyue Xiaozhu and saw the note left by the sun in the water pavilion. He did not know what the origin of this mysterious man was, but such an exchange of letters without meeting aroused his interest, so he waited patiently in the water pavilion for seven days, and on the seventh day, he suddenly guessed something: this man went when he came, came when he left, could it be that he did not want to meet him?
Thinking of this, he took up a pen and left her a letter, and asked her to meet in three days.
Then he walked away.
The day after he left, Sunshine returned, and she read his letter, thought for a moment, and wrote: Fellowship with you is only wine; When the opportunity comes, we will see each other.
After she finished writing the last stroke, a strange feeling suddenly rose from the bottom of her heart - the experience of being bounced several times told her: Zhang Junyao had appeared nearby!
This bastard boy actually dared to cheat her!
She couldn't help but think about it, and immediately teleported away with space!
Zhang Junyao did use a bit of a trick to kill her when she came, because he really wanted to see who this mysterious figure really was.
When he hurried back to the mountains, he suddenly had a strong feeling in his chest: the person he was looking for was here!
He toe a little to the ground, unleashing light skills, his steps are like the wind, his clothes are fluttering, like a light white crane sweeping through the forest, straight to the bright moon building!
The pavilion was empty, and he walked to the table, saw that the ink marks on the rice paper were not dry, and thought that the man had just left.
"When the opportunity comes, we will meet you?" He opened the folding fan, his starry eyes turned slightly, and then he turned around, facing the landscape in front of him, and said loudly: "Brother Tai refuses to show up, Jun Yao does not force it, this bright moon Xiaozhu has fine wine, waiting for Brother Tai at any time!" β
A few days later, Sunshine returned to this place, and when I looked through the video and saw him like this, I couldn't help but wonder.
From then on, the two men did not mention seeing each other, but exchanged letters in secret. When there is no one else in the bright moon building, the sunshine will occasionally stay here for one night, there is a lot of game in the mountains, when she is interested, she will also hunt a few pheasants and hares, and have an open-air barbecue in this mountain.
When she rose, she practiced in the woods in the mountains, where Zhang Junyao often practiced swords.
Later, when Zhang Junyao practiced swords, he found that there were sword wounds on the nearby trees, and carefully observed the new wounds on the trees, the sword moves and strength were the same as his own swordsmanship, and when he looked closely, some sword moves were slightly different; He is also a martial artist, so he also saw the moves with great interest.
Sunshine found that he could judge her swordsmanship moves through the sword marks on the guΓ² tree, and secretly admired the ancients in his heart for being smart, so the next time she came, she would first ponder carefully according to the sword marks, and then check the candid video recordings to see if there were any errors in her judgment.
This way of communication makes Sunshine gradually have the feeling of meeting a confidant: after all, the nature of the country is easy to change, and two people with the same soul still have something in common. And Zhang Junyao gradually became familiar with her from her words: she often guessed what he was thinking, and even what was going to happen in Jiangnan in the near future, which made him more curious about this mysterious friend.
However, in this stormy and war-torn year, his guard has not been let down. Here, he often has the feeling of being watched all the time, and Dongchang has been rampant in Jiangnan recently, and he has to guard against it.
Sunshine watched his video, and in his conversations with friends, he occasionally expressed his concern for the country and the people, but he soon laughed it off.
After all, talking about current affairs in this chaotic era of eunuch dictatorship is going to harm your family if you are not careful.
The picturesque scenery of the south of the Yangtze River, the chanting of literati and ink writers, and the harsh historical background are just a mirror of flowers.
It's just that this mirror is really beautiful. Sunshine held the jade cup in his hand, looking at the full moon in the sky, and his heart was full of thoughts.
In the early summer, the capital is still bustling and lively, and a small sedan chair stops at the gate of the general's mansion. A young man on a tall horse jumped off the horse, turned around and asked the guards to call the door, and the housekeeper of the general's mansion came to open the door, and when he saw them coming, he hurriedly said to his subordinates: "Go and tell the master, the young lady has arrived!" β
The sedan curtain was opened, and a well-dressed and charming girl got off the sedan chair with the support of two maids.
This young girl is Gao Siyan, a few days ago, her mother received a letter from her father, so she hurriedly prepared her bags and sent her to the capital.
Gao Hong had been waiting in the back hall all morning, and when he heard that his daughter was coming, he couldn't help but be happy.
Gao Siyan walked into the back hall gracefully, saw his father, lifted the corner of his skirt, bowed down, and his voice was as graceful as a yellow warbler: "Siyan greets my father!" β
Gao Hong hurriedly stepped forward to help his daughter: I haven't seen her for three years, and her daughter is already slim! If it weren't for the emperor thinking about her day and night, he would really be reluctant to send his palm pearl to the deep palace.
The father and daughter chatted a few words, Gao Hong retreated, leaving only two close guards to guard the door, he closed the door, lowered his voice, and said to Siyan: "Daughter, can this road be smooth?" β
Si Yan Waner smiled, "Father, rest assured, my daughter knows that the matter entrusted by the emperor is related to the world, so she naturally doesn't dare to take it lightly." Along the way, we were lightly dressed and simple, and it was quite smooth. β
Gao Hong looked at his daughter, thinking that he was going to send her into the palace tonight, and he was still a little reluctant in his heart, but he knew that the emperor's entrustment was more important. As for the rest, let Siyan decide for herself.
"Siyan, let's go in and talk." He dragged his daughter into the inner room and put up enchantments on the doors and windows. Seeing that there were no outsiders, Siyan carefully took out a square box held in brocade from his arms. Gao Hong untied the seal on the box, opened the lid of the box, and the room suddenly shone brightly.
Gao Hong confirmed that it was a sky-turning seal, and then closed the lid of the box again, sealed the heavy seal, and then raised his head and said to Siyan: "Siyan." In fact, it is the emperor's intention to summon you to Beijing this time. β
Siyan heard him mention the emperor, a red cloud flew over her pretty face, and she was also happy in her heart: the emperor had a three-year appointment with her, and she remembered it in her heart for three years. When she entered Beijing this time, she still thought that she didn't know if the emperor had forgotten about it, but she didn't expect that he actually let her enter Beijing.
Gao Hong saw his daughter's happy appearance, and his heart was bitter, he looked at his daughter and said in a low voice: "The emperor said that this treasure needs to be sent to the palace in person." But now there is a lot of fighting in the palace, so you can't enter the palace as a concubine. What does the emperor mean...... Let you pretend to be a eunuch first, sneak into the palace, and when the situation is clear, you will be given the position of a concubine. However, the emperor also said that if you are not willing to suffer this grievance, he will not force it, and you can also marry on your own. β
He knew that he wanted her to enter the palace as a eunuch without a name or a point, and he also wanted to hide her identity as the daughter of the general, and he really wronged her, but when the emperor said these words, he was also embarrassed, so he said not to force it.
Si Yan knew what it meant that the emperor didn't force it: if she didn't enter the palace, maybe she wouldn't see him in this life. She had a three-year appointment with the emperor, and the emperor still remembered that she naturally couldn't miss the appointment.
"Father, daughter is willing to enter the palace." She said without hesitation: "My daughter understands the emperor's hardship, and now is the time when he needs help." The daughter doesn't care about her reputation, she just wants to be able to share the worries of the emperor and her father. β
Gao Hong looked at his daughter without the slightest reluctance, and said distressed and relieved: "Okay." She deserves to be a good daughter of my yin and yang family! β
It was night, in the imperial study of the Forbidden City, there was still a lamp, Zhu Youxiao's desk was not a fold, but a full set of carpenter's tools, at this time he was concentrating on carving on the screen of a lantern, the great eunuch Wei Zhongxian bowed down to him, accompanied by a smile and whispered: "Your Majesty, Lord Gao is here!" β
"Let him in!" Zhu Youxiao carefully turned the carving knife in his hand and said without raising his head.
Wei Zhongxian walked to the door and smiled at Gao Hong, who was standing at the door: "Lord Gao, the emperor will send you in!" The one next to youβ" He said and looked at the handsome little eunuch beside Gao Hong, and smiled meaningfully.
Gao Hong didn't bother to explain to him, and walked into the imperial study with the little eunuch.
"Weichen see the emperor!" He said aloud.
Zhu Youxiao raised his head with the carving knife, and saw the little eunuch standing beside him at a glance, he dropped the carving knife in his hand and stood up.
"Father-in-law Wei, you should step back first!" He glanced at Wei Zhongxian and said nonchalantly.
"The old slave retires!" Wei Zhongxian was also discerning, and immediately took a few steps back, exited the Heart Cultivation Palace, and closed the door.
Zhu Youxiao walked in front of Gao Siyan, stretched out his hand, lifted her chin, and under the brim of his hat was a delicate and incomparable face, which was the face he had been dreaming of for three years; Si Yan met his affectionate eyes and smiled.
With her smile, Zhu Youxiao's heart was about to melt!
"Let's go! I'll show you my new lanterns! He took her hand and went into the inner room.
In the dormitory, there are all the carpentry work he usually does, all of which are delicate gadgets, and even the tables, chairs, and beds have other mechanisms; Siyan didn't expect him to have such skillful hands, and he was dazzled. Zhu Youxiao opened a mechanism on the wall, and the originally tightly fitting wall slowly retreated inside, he took Siyan's hand and walked in, and the outside wall closed quietly.
Seeing that there were no outsiders here, Siyan looked up at him and said softly, "Your Majestyβ"
"Siyan!" Zhu Youxiao hugged her and said with mixed feelings: "You're finally here!" In the past three years, I have been looking forward to it day and night, and I finally hope for you! (To be continued.) )
