Chapter 5: Encounter

Under the boy's coaxing, the girl finally raised her head and choked up, "Brother, you take me to find my mother." ”

"Well, but you're going to tell me who your mother is?" The boy smiled and seemed to have won the highest stakes match.

"I can find anyone." Zhu Di muttered quietly, trying to treat the girl in a way that was pityful and cherishing.

In fact, he is not an opinionated person. When he discovers that he is behaving in a way that is the opposite of his old family and is being prized by others, he wants to try it too.

"Who can you find?" The boy frowned, "Then don't bother the adults, sometimes they always say I'm naughty, but in fact I ......" The boy pointed to the little girl, "I'm just pitying." ”

"Adults won't understand this, they just want us not to bother them." Zhu Di found a soulmate.

Since he was a child, he knew that he couldn't find his father and queen mother when he had something, and he couldn't find his father and queen mother when he wanted to cry, even if he missed them and felt painful, he could only endure it by himself.

Only when his father and queen mother occasionally remembered him, he could get his wish, and for this reason, at every opportunity to make a wish, his wish was to be summoned by his father and queen mother.

"Your dad thinks you're a nuisance?" The boy looked sympathetically at his companion, who was even worse than himself.

"You can't say that, they have a lot to deal with." Zhu Di didn't want to get the boy's sympathy, and indifferently stirred a strand of hair that slipped out of the hairpin.

"Sometimes it's not a trivial thing for us to encounter, for example, now, my sister's mother is gone, and if we don't help her find her, she will probably become an orphan."

"Sister, what's your mother's name?" For the first time, Zhu Di spoke softly and caringly to a girl. Now that he has decided to experience a new way of behaving, he should be brave enough to practice it. Besides, it didn't feel bad, and he got a sense of accomplishment from it that he hadn't experienced before.

"Uh, Xie, Mrs. Xie." The little girl struggled to recall, as if she was recalling the events of her previous life.

"Mrs. Xie? There are hundreds of Mrs. Xie in this palace! Zhu Di was disheartened, and his path to practice was much more tortuous than he imagined.

"Sister, do you know your mother's full name?" The boy hurriedly asked, for fear that Zhu Di would change his mind.

"I don't know." The little girl wrinkled her nose and was about to burst into tears.

"What about your father?"

"He's a general." The little girl's eyes lit up.

"What's your name?"

"Uh...... I don't know. ”

"Where's your home? What is it? "The boy never gave up.

"My family, my family, I don't know ......" The girl couldn't stand the blow of not being able to answer the question, and began to cry again.

Zhu Di rolled his eyes, crossed his hands on his waist, and looked up at the sky. If it weren't for the boy's excellent role model, Zhu Di would have given up this boring practice.

"For example, the Prime Minister's Mansion, the Xinguo Mansion, the Yingguo Mansion......" the boy recalled the mansions he had visited.

"You know a lot!" Zhu Di patted the boy on the shoulder, a little wanting him to give up his futile efforts.

"Wei State Mansion!" The girl suddenly exclaimed, "The housekeeper taught me to recognize the plaque at the door!" ”

"Wei Guogong Xu Da?" Zhu Di said, "Sister, what's your name?" ”

"Xu Miaojin."

"That's right!" Zhu Di and the boy looked at each other and smiled, and their efforts finally came to fruition, and the two began to appreciate each other.

"My name is Stone, what about you? What is your name? The boy asked.

"My name is Zhu Di. How can you call a stone? Is it the big, heavy stone? ”

"Yes, hehe. My mother said that stones are not easy to attract attention and that she doesn't want me to be in the limelight. ”

"Well, then I have another name."

"What?"

"Swallow!" Zhu Di's eyebrows fluttered, happy for the good name he just made, "Your name is Stone, my name is Swallow, you are still and moving, it's really a good match!" ”

"Isn't Swallow a girl's name?"

"There are male and female swallows!"

"Hahaha, yes, yes, you're a male swallow." The two laughed, and the little girl also giggled, and the tears on her face had not yet dried.

"Jin'er, Jin'er, where are you?" Not far away, a middle-aged woman's voice came from behind, with an anxious tone.

"Mother!" The little girl ran in the direction of the sound.

After only a few steps, she turned her head again, as if she found that she had lost something: "Brother Shi, Brother Yanzi, where do you live?" In the future, if I can't stay at home anymore, I'll go to you. ”

"What? Do you dare to run away from home? Stone's eyes widened, is this still the little girl crying and looking for her mother?

"Just now my mother said that I was fat in front of other people, didn't I just run out alone?"

Zhu Di was angry and funny: "But you're crying!" ”

"That's because I'm scared alone. But now that I know the two of you, I'm not afraid to be with you both. ”

"Women are always fickle and unreasonable, that's what my mother said." The stone stood on Zhu Di's side, "If you run away from home, your father and your mother will die in a hurry." "The two boys united in the front, and both decided not to tell the little girl their address.

"Jin'er! Jin'er! The woman's cry drew nearer. The girl chopped off her foot, angry and anxious, but more unwilling.

She was unwilling to pass by two friends like this, she was unwilling to never see the stone that was willing to wipe her tears for her, and the swallow who was willing to find her father and mother for her.

"Give! Let's use this as a token of our meeting in the future. Xu Miaojin took out three blue-green feathers from his arms.

Under the sun, the three feathers are brilliant and gorgeous, as blue as a pure lake, and as green as thousands of glasses.

Zhu Di and the stone were dumbfounded, as if they were stunned by their bewildering glitter and psychedelia, as if they were shocked by the mysterious power contained in their delicate textures. Although they were royal nobles, they had never seen such a touching thing.

"There was an old gentleman who gave me three feathers, and he said they were the feathers of a sacred bird." Xu Miaojin broke their intoxication.

"Divine Bird? What kind of sacred bird? The stone was impatient, lest the woman suddenly appear at this time.

"Qingluan, but I haven't seen this kind of divine bird."

"Her feathers are so beautiful, this bird must be the most beautiful bird in the world." Zhu Di stretched out his hand and waited for Xu Miaojin to hand him the feather.

"It's not the world, she must be from heaven." The stone raised its head and squinted its eyes, looking for Qingluan's figure in the distant sky through the dazzling sunlight.

"Come, here I am." Xu Miaojin took one to Zhu Di and another to the stone, "The old gentleman said that this feather is like a mirror, so I often take it out and look at it." I'm not good-looking, so I'll give it to you, and I'll just keep one. ”

"Like a mirror?" Zhu Di carefully took the feather, lifted it high, and looked carefully at his face, and found that the beautiful feather was even more charming, but he was not among them. Driven by an inexplicable vanity and a belief in what he could see, he nodded his head in obsessed respect, pretending to be oblivious to appreciation.

Xu Miaojin was full of doubts and puzzled, and was about to ask, but the stone, who was bent on solving the mystery of the feathers, asked first: "Where is the old gentleman?" ”

"He's been to my house before."

"Will he still come to your house? If I see him, I must ask him to take me to the sacred bird. A breeze blew, and the stone quickly covered the feathers with his hands.

"I don't know, I've only seen him once."

"I also want to see the Divine Bird, if the Divine Bird really has magical powers, it will definitely be able to achieve what I want." Zhu Di was thoughtful.

"I want it to take me around the world." Xu Miaojin's face flashed with a strange brilliance.

"If the old gentleman comes to your house again, you ......" Shi opened his mouth wide, and a richly dressed and good-looking woman suddenly appeared behind Xu Miaojin with a fierce attitude.

"Jin'er!" She grabbed Xu Miaojin and shocked the stone with her flexible skills.

"You kid is so naughty, it's easy to find your mother. Your father is angry, and he won't spare you when you go back! The woman looked at Shi and Zhu Di as she spoke, and the anger on her face suddenly disappeared, "Two sons, you ......"

"Madame is really as beautiful as Jin'er said!" Fearing that Xu Miaojin would be beaten up when he returned, Shi first launched a wave of flattery against Mrs. Xie, a technique taught by the maids in his house - as long as she praised a woman for her beauty, she would forget all her hatreds and resentments.

"Xi Shi is alive, and the fairy is down to earth!" Zhu Di reacted sensitively and added oil and vinegar in time to add the icing on the cake.

Mrs. Xie first stroked her palms and laughed "hahaha", and then suddenly realized that she was a fairy like Shih Tzu, and quickly covered her mouth with a brocade silk handkerchief, making a nondescript gesture.

"The mouths of the two sons are so sweet, and they will play in the Xu Mansion in the future! Let's go, Jin'er! Mrs. Xie twisted her waist unskillfully and left with Xu Miaojin.

"Oh, I'm leaving, I'm sneaking out, and my mother might be looking for me everywhere now!" The stone turned around and ran.

"Then how am I going to find you in the future?" Zhu Di shouted at the back of the stone, and reluctantly climbed his brow, he didn't have a friend who could not only make him admire, but also get along so happily.

"This one!" The stone turned around and pointed to the Qingluan feather that had been placed in his arms, "There is a fate to meet, so let's take this as a token." ”

The solemnity and solemnity of Kunning Palace were broken by the laughter from time to time, the yellow roses that had just bloomed in the courtyard shook off the crystal dewdrops, and the bright red peony buds on the promenade were ready to move.

When the stone rushed in, Mrs. Li and Queen Ma were covering their mouths and laughing, completely unaware that the stone had crossed the imperial city and kicked the sky and well.

The stone patted his chest and gasped slowly, and slowly approached the other lady in the house, Concubine Shu, who was in her prime, but like a deep purple rose in full bloom, mature and steady, exuding charming charm.
