18. Chapter 18
In the wilderness, only the spring breeze blows back and forth. At the top of the budding branches are two sons standing in the wind. A woman in white stood under the tree with a somewhat tangled face, she wanted to speak, stop fighting; I also want to see who is higher and who is lower in the skills of the young master and my cousin.
The waterboat was on the windward side, and the spring breeze blew his robe, standing like an immortal in the wind. Chang Xiao held it casually in his hand, and looked at the person opposite lightly: "If the folding fan boy wants to find the next competition and try to say it clearly, why use this villain's technique?" He still heard about it, and he didn't think he would use this method, but instead told himself that the person he was looking for this time was Ku'er, and he was just an excuse to let Ku'er return to the palace. A touch of bitterness flashed in her eyes, bitter, or Xia'er, what else could she not tell herself.
Huang Fusheng under the mask and Ku'er under the tree were both stunned, there was something in his words that was so obvious, both of them were smart people, how could they not hear it.
Ku'er lowered her head to hide the panic that flashed in her eyes, she didn't want to and couldn't tell the young master about it. There are ten days left, and she will leave here in the last ten days.
Huang Fusheng laughed and startled the birds around him. He slowly took off his mask, his handsome face was full of smiles, put the mask on his waist, and opened the folding fan: "I just heard that Changxiao Gongzi doted on the maid, and I want to see what kind of posture this maid can be so favored by the little prince." ”
The long whistle turned slightly, driving the sound of the wind.
He struck first.
No one in the rivers and lakes has seen Huang Fusheng's true face, he has seen it, but he is afraid. It was a handsome face that even women saw, but without losing the masculinity of a man. The most important thing is the tenderness in his eyes that unconsciously reveals when he mentions Ku'er.
The wind was surging, Ku'er looked at the two people facing each other in mid-air, she knew that her cousin would not hurt the young master, but she didn't know if the young master would hurt her cousin. The whole heart is almost mentioned in the throat, and no one is hurt by what he wants to see.
She's walking back and forth below, how can I get them to listen?
"Ah......" It hurts, she walked too quickly, and when she turned, her feet didn't keep up with the speed of her body, and the whole person fell to the place.
The two people in the fight withdrew their hands at the same time, looked back in the direction of Ku'er, and the water boat didn't think much about flying down.
Huang Fusheng looked at the two people below and withdrew his hand in mid-air to help her. Turned around and left: "It seems that it is true that the young man of Changxiao loves the maid, and today's competition will end here, and he will come back to the young man to learn from him in the next day." The voice blew with the spring breeze, and the person was gone.
The water boat helped her up, and said angrily: "Don't pretend, this trick has been used for more than ten years." "I didn't explicitly dismiss her purpose, but she should have understood it.
Ku'er was anxious, so angry that her little face turned red, how could she use this method, she really broke her feet. Snorted, he ignored himself and limped back.
The waterboat chuckled in his heart, this is really a stumbling foot. chased after her in a few steps, and grabbed her awkward little body: "Don't go, I'll take a look." He looked around, picked her up and walked her to a boulder on the side of the road, lifted her dress, took off her shoes and socks, and her ankles were a little red and swollen. He reached out and pinched it, saw her tightening movements, and looked up at her: "Such a big person can't even walk." He said reproach, but the pity in his tone was also obvious.
Ku'er was still thinking about what he had just wronged himself, put down the hem of his skirt and no longer let him see it, and his little face was brushed aside: "Don't worry about it." ”
"Isn't it a big temper, it really makes me spoiled lawless, be honest." took her foot back again, first pressed it lightly a few times, and her brows were twisted directly, although the twist was not heavy, but some were dislocated. Looking up at her aching little face, it turned pale: "Bear with it." ”
I only listened to the click, followed by a muffled snort of Ku'er. He snorted and turned his ankle, as if it didn't hurt so much. took his shoes and socks and put them on, and didn't forget to stammer someone: "Young master, if the palace has no money in the future, you can support your family if you become a Jianghu Langzhong." ”
Someone who just stood up almost fell headlong because of this sentence, and after he stood firm, he tidied up his sleeves elegantly as usual, and said slowly: "You are my maid, if the palace really has no money, shouldn't you support me?" ”
Ku'er put on his shoes and socks and stood up and moved twice, making sure that it was really not painful before he had the strength to despise his young master: "Isn't this a man supporting the family since ancient times, you also said this kind of thing." Besides, if the palace really runs out of money, I will have to find another way. ”
The waterboat stopped and looked at the heartless girl walking in front of her. How did he forget about this, he only knew that Lu Dao Shui Bo brought her back then, and never thought about when she was going to leave the Shui family, just like Sister Liuyue.
Ku'er walked for a while and looked back at the waterboat that was still standing in the distance, tilted his head and ran back, looking at him puzzled: "What's wrong?" ”
"You come with me." Suddenly took her hand and quickly returned to the palace.
After returning to the waterboat house, he went directly to the study, wrote hard in Ku'er's confused eyes, and then took it to Ku'er, grabbed her hand and signed her name on it. looked at it reassuringly, and felt uneasy, so he directly bit her finger and pressed a bloody handprint on it. Holding the piece of paper, this time it was really relieved: "Okay." ”
Ku'er thinks it's not good, she's still confused. What, I don't even give myself a hint for this series of things. Put my bitten finger in my mouth and suck it, and I was relieved that it would not bleed. Reach for the piece of paper: "What did you write?" "After taking it, my eyes widened after reading it, and the deed of sale was still for a lifetime. She was in a hurry, and she raised her hand to tear it off: "What, young master, you are too bad." ”
The boatman quickly snatched it back: "Hey, you can sign and draw on it, and you are not allowed to deny it." "So I'm not afraid that this girl will run away.
Ku'er was angry, turned around and ignored him: "What's the use of what you wrote." "Ku'er's name is not hers, it is useless to sign it, besides, she has ten days to leave. Thinking of this, her originally bad mood became even worse.
The water boat carefully put away the deed of sale, and pinched her face with a smile: "Who said it's useless, the name is useless, you can draw it with your own hands, this is very useful." The forehead was against her, and the expression on her face was a little serious: "So Ku'er, you remember, no matter what happens in the future, you are mine." He didn't want to admit to anyone that he was afraid of losing his child today, but he had to admit it to himself.
Ku'er's gaze staggered away from him slightly, not letting him see the helplessness in his eyes. She could hear what the young master had guessed, but she still couldn't say anything.
"Who is that bitter child? Don't tell Hongu that you don't know the way. Concubine Jin's face was not that graceful and noble, but began to become hideous, even with a hint of fear.
Zheng Xi stood with his head bowed and didn't say anything. After a long time, he slowly raised his head and looked at Concubine Jin: "Weichen really doesn't know who she is." Weichen thinks who this bitter child is, the princess Niangniang should be clearer than Weichen, Niangniang wants to know the way, it is better to ask the princess Niangniang directly. ”
Sister, a glimmer of light flashed on Concubine Jin's face. Why did she forget her sister, and opened the door and beckoned the maid in: "Go and invite the princess over, just say that there is something in the palace to inquire." ”
Zheng Xi watched the maid leave, and said lightly: "If the mother doesn't have anything to do, Weichen will retire first." ”
Concubine Jin looked at the person who was leaving, pinched her fingers on the doorrail, and said with disdain: "Zheng Xi, no matter how much you have done for the emperor, you can't erase the blood that already exists in your hands." There are some things that others will give you a chance if you don't want to atone for your sins. Don't forget that what you owe to Hongu has not been paid off. ”
The hands hanging down his legs were clenched tightly, and a hint of forbearance flashed on his face, but in the end he left without saying anything.
When Ku'er and the waterboat were practicing calligraphy in the waterboat, Qiu Ju came to the emperor and invited them over. The waterboat was displeased, and directly coated the entire rice paper with ink.
Ku'er sighed and put away the brush in his hand for him, then put away the rice paper full of ink, and cleaned everything up before slowly speaking: "The emperor let you go over and like you to accompany you, I know that you don't like many people, but it's only for a few days." Pull him back to change into his ink-stained clothes.
The water boat's face was surprisingly ugly, he was strange, why did the emperor have to accompany him, aren't his father and grandmother here? Even the master was trapped by him, and when he thought of the master, he suddenly thought of something: "You said that the master said that the king that day?" ”
Ku'er took a white shirt and helped him change it on, and after thinking about it carefully, he was a little vague and dazed that day, but he heard the sentence clearly: "I heard him say this to Yunsheng, and didn't we also hear him call the old lady aunt." Apart from the emperor, who else can call the old lady aunt? ”
The water boat thought, he hadn't heard of the emperor's uncle and his brothers and sisters. After getting dressed, he took the long roar on the table: "Please ask Master to come over and ask in the evening, and it will be clear." ”
When they arrived at the front hall, everyone was there, and the waterboat led Ku'er over: "Uncle Huang atoned for his sins, and my nephew is late." ”
The emperor looked up at him, and went directly to Ku'er: "Ku'er has nothing to do." ”
Shen Ruosu's hand under the table was tightly clenched, and he lowered his head to hide the ruthlessness and resentment inside.
Concubine Jin still had an elegant smile on the corner of her mouth, and her slightly cool hand held her daughter's under the table, she said that as long as it was what they wanted, they would get it no matter what the price was. She looked at the girl who was talking to the emperor, especially hers.
Shen Ruosu looked up at her mother, and the hatred in her eyes had turned into a smile when she looked at Ku Er. The mother concubine said that in this world, there are only what we want or don't want, and we don't need conscience and sympathy for them.
