Volume II One Hundred and Forty-Four, Memories of Agarwood
Agarwood, who had been waiting in the mansion for many days, finally fell ill when it rained overnight.
It is a pity that there are very few people waiting in the mansion, and it seems that the entire general's mansion is lonely and empty.
The frost falls on the night in the cold autumn, and the grass and trees are full of white heads.
"For the sake of a man who doesn't love you, why bother." Qingyu, who had not appeared in the sight of the crowd for a long time, put aside the empty white porcelain medicine bowl, sat down in her robe, and looked at a poor insect with compassion.
"Even if she doesn't love me, I just love her, sometimes the feelings you give don't get a complete response as the world thinks, do you?" Even if he can't accept his humble status now, what if? In case there will always be a day when it comes, even if it is just out of reach, the luxury of the dream in the midnight dream, he still can't help but fantasize about the day that will come.
Suddenly looking back at the lamplight, her Ah Li was standing in the place where the lights were shining, smiling and rushing towards him, calling his name in his mouth.
Even if it is a fake mirror, he is still willing to deceive himself.
"What about you? Why did you stay in the General's Mansion, don't say that you didn't have enough money to settle in the house. Due to the infection of the wind and cold, the agarwood, which was soft and weak at the moment, turned pale, and coughed lightly from time to time. There was an uncontrollable sarcastic smile in his eyes.
He remembered that when he was dismissed and resettled, a generous person gave a hundred taels of silver. It's not that he has the heart of a villain in the belly of a gentleman, but there are some things that he can't think about too much, and he refuses to leave for a long time, either he wants more, or he can't send each other with a hundred taels of silver.
"Naturally, there is a reason for me to stay, anyway, I don't want to rob the general with you, why don't you worry." Qingyu's slightly juvenile and immature face rippled with a smile that was almost shallow; "On the contrary, you don't know when you will understand your identity, and you still want to like a big person who is different from your identity. I shouldn't laugh at you for being stupid or thinking too highly of yourself, or burning out your brain because of love. The last four words were bitten very hard, as if with a little annoyance.
"I don't need you to say it, I know who I am." The first half of the sentence is fine, but the second half of the sentence undoubtedly touched his reverse scales, and all his filthy pickled thoughts were spread out in the sun, which was unbearable.
The fists were clenched, and the half-hanging green silk fell down, covering the faintly iron-blue face. "If you dare to hurt the general for half a point, I, Agarwood, would rather die than let you go."
"Look at what you said, the general was the one who saved me from the sea of suffering, and he would not do anything to avenge me no matter how bad it was." Qingyu didn't care about his reaction, and at most she just laughed it off.
"Or is it that Brother Agarwood thinks that the general is too weak and incompetent, don't forget, who is the other party. But the characters who fought from the battlefield with a sword and a sword, if they didn't have some brains, would at least be sighed by people for a brave and unscrupulous martial artist, rather than a general Huwei who was both civil and military. There was a pause, and then he continued.
"Brother Agarwood has to remember what Qingyu said to you today, but don't forget, if you figure it out one day, don't forget to come to find your brother."
After talking for a while, Qingyu got up and left when she saw that people were interested, lest she was worried that she would stay in the room of the sick man for a long time. Even I don't have half of the disease, that's really not beautiful.
After Qingyu left, he didn't immediately go back to his frost courtyard, but avoided the crowd and came to a rockery.
There was no one waiting behind the rockery, and some were just a stone that should not have appeared so suddenly, which seemed out of place with its surroundings, and even eye-catching.
Last night, the rain had stopped, and the bluestone slate floor was still wet and slippery. The remnant flowers have gone without a trace, and the evening laurel and autumn fragrance are looking for people's fragrance.
After the agarwood is gone, a person lies quietly on the soft bunk. The room was burned with fine silver filigree carbon, and in this silent space, there was a slight sound of carbon fire burning from time to time, and a wisp of white smoke was floating in the gilt hollow copper chisel lotus petal bead pattern smoker, which was his favorite incense to calm the nerves.
Leaning on the soft pillow with half-closed eyes, the person seems to be gradually drifting into the distance, more like reminiscing about a fictional dream, but it is so real.
Kang Zheng years, spring.
Everything recovers, spring in February and March, grass and water are the same color. Spring grass grows in the pond, and willows in the garden become songbirds.
Agarwood, who was only thirteen years old at the time, had already been born with the same delicate eyebrows as a delicate young man of a family, and it looked completely out of place with the surrounding leather boys. It's just that the clothes on the body are mended and mended, it's like a shirt sewn together with a large patch and a small patch, and the slurry has lost its original color, but the face is always clean.
When he meets someone, he smiles at three points, and anyone who sees it likes it, but sometimes this person does not represent the family that adopted him.
An ordinary woman with her hands on her waist and a plump body was scolding each other with her hands on her waist, pulling the young man's ears and scolding each other. The voice was so loud that even the persimmon leaves in the courtyard full of sweet red persimmons couldn't startle this loud voice, just like the hairline of the middle-aged and elderly people falling down, not to mention the gray sparrows farther away, they were already so frightened that they didn't know where to look.
"Okay, auntie, I've already remembered that you don't want to pluck my ears, if outsiders see it, I'm such a big person and I'm still being pulled by my ears, it's ugly to death." The young man said words begging for mercy with a hippie smile on his face, but it did not make the woman's face look good.
"Remember to go to the north of the city to buy a bag of salt and come back, don't lose the money or be deceived into buying defective products, otherwise when you come back, you will see how the old lady cleans you up."
"Remember to come back early after buying, there is still a bunch of work waiting for your boy to come back." As the fat woman scolded and left, the young agarwood rubbed her ears that had been pinched red and looked out of the north of the city, with a face full of disdain.
"I see." The agarwood, which was tightly holding five copper plates in his hand, was worried all the way, for fear that he would be targeted by some second-class people with a huge amount of money.
Phew, it's really stingy, I'm afraid five copper plates can't buy a few quantities of salt, and he really didn't think he was stupid. He rubbed his ears again, his face full of depression.
He only learned five years ago that the parents he had been calling his father and mother were not his real parents, and he had picked them up. And all this happened to the pair of adoptive parents after giving birth to a little brother, originally they planned to buy themselves into the big family's house to be a small house, if it weren't for their own work and food, sometimes they could run errands to help the family subsidize some of the family, and now maybe I don't know which grumpy boy brother is a slave under it.
"I know if I don't go soon, it's not for you to be raised at home to be so old."
"I see."
The north of the city is a civilian area, and the people who come and go are ordinary people, and the price is naturally better than that of the west side of the minister. Even the tempting eating and eating of all kinds of novel gadgets along the way made him look at it intently, but when he pinched the small cloth bag with only five copper plates, he could only give up angrily.
But after all, it's still a teenager's heart, and sometimes I can't help but can't move my legs when I look at it, or I lose my mind and accidentally bump into someone around a corner.
"Sss The two little heads, who also didn't look at the road much, naturally bumped into each other, making a small noise.
"How do you see the road?"
"Yes.... I'm sorry..... Agarwood was very uneasy because she suddenly bumped into someone, and then immediately touched the money bag that she had been holding tightly in the palm of her hand. Seeing that it was still there, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Only then did he embarrassedly stretch out his dirty hand to help the little boy who fell to the ground up, with an embarrassed and embarrassed smile on his face. But the apologetic smile on his face suddenly became popular when he saw someone, and even his movements were a little stupid.
"I'm fine, be careful next time." Because He Dangli, who was called out by Gongzi to run errands, was knocked down by someone who suddenly appeared around the corner at this moment, and he stumbled and fell to the ground, so he was not embarrassed.
Fortunately, it didn't hurt anything, but the next time you walk, you can't be in a daze at random, what if you accidentally bump into someone.
"I'll pay attention next time, that... Have you ever hurt anywhere. Agarwood touched her nose tremblingly, and once again couldn't help but look at the little boy who was accidentally bumped into by him. A white little face suddenly turned red, and I only felt that this little boy was really good-looking, as beautiful as the fairy depicted in the book of the second master who often told stories in the alley.
"I'm fine." He Dangli stood up, regardless of the image, rubbed his buttocks, which were almost broken into four petals, and grinned in pain, but fortunately, there was a lot of meat in his buttocks, so it didn't hurt to fall.
He Dangli came out today to buy what his son said he needed, and kindly gave himself a half-day off. gave her a little silver to spend as she pleased, and now she is a little rich little flower slave.
Even her mood is much better than before, but it is the first time that she is open, and she appears in the crowd like a dog, saying that it is not nervous and afraid that it is a lie. What she is most worried about is that her appearance is too dazzling, what if she meets the He family who is still looking for her.
"That's the first time you've gone out alone, right?" Seeing that the little boy didn't speak, Agarwood thought that he had accidentally hit a pain just now, and his whole face was so nervous that he didn't know what to do, as if he wanted to say something.
Rarely, He Dangli hesitated for a moment, and then nodded. But he immediately shook his head.
After a moment's hesitation, he asked; "What are you asking for this?"
"Actually, it's like this, it's just that I'm fine today, in order to apologize, how about I take you to introduce and visit the north of the city." Seeing that the person nodded, Agarwood's face was even more completely red, and it was almost red like a monkey's buttocks. He only felt that the more he looked at the color of this little boy, the more beautiful he looked, just like a little fairy child from the sky, after looking down at his dirty hands, the nails were full of dirty black mud, and his face suddenly turned completely red.
As the agarwood that grew up in this place, whether it is introduced, eaten or otherwise, it is the head of the way.
"What's that?" He Dangli stopped at a place selling fried stinky tofu and couldn't move.
"It's called fried stinky tofu, long square with four edges and eight antagons, and the bamboo skewers are strung in a row, and it is black when it is just fished out of the urn, but as soon as it is in the pot and out of the pot, it becomes golden, coated with a layer of soy sauce or chili sauce, plus coriander and chopped green onions or soybeans, and sprinkled with sesame peppers, which is very beautiful. Carefully bite into a bite of yellow on the outside and white on the inside, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, spicy and stimulating. In fact, he hasn't eaten agarwood either, these are what he heard from others, and now it's just a repetition.
But even if you just listen to people depict it like that, you can't help but talk about it.
