Chapter 14: The Show Begins
The plan of the year lies in the spring, the plan of the day lies in the morning, and the dawn of dawn is obliquely reflected on the slightly yellowed window paper, symbolizing hope and new life. The morning bird song is always disgusting, the rich people think it disturbs their dreams, and the poor people hear it as the bell to work.
Since ancient times, people have been divided into rich and poor, and the ancients were influenced by the propaganda of the slave society, believing that they were born to be exploited and poor, and those rich were born high! It wasn't until a thousand years later that someone came to their senses, so they issued: Will the prince have a kind of Xiangning? γThe emperor takes turns to do it next year to my house! of emotion.
Human beings have always evolved, and it was not until a few decades ago that everyone had the right to be elected equally and fairly, but these Forbidden Cities in the deep palace are not as far away as the ends of the earth, but myths from ancient times.
The chirping of birds pierced the silence of dawn, the dew on the crape myrtle flowers waited to meet the sunrise, Lan'er struggled to open her tired eyes, she had just slept vaguely an hour ago, but was immediately awakened by the fate of heaven ruthlessly.
Lan'er stretched out her hand and slapped it into the bed, and a chill suddenly rose, there was no one inside! Lan'er sat up suddenly, her mind was dizzy, she barely held her forehead with her hand and pressed it, and a calm and peaceful voice sounded: "Sister Lan'er, you are awake." β
Ren Hongfei sat in front of the dresser, gently combed his hair with a wooden comb, turned his left hand a few times and pulled it around, put down the comb with his right hand, and picked up a hosta from the front of the stage to pin his sideburns.
Lan'er was stunned, quickly got out of bed, stepped forward and said, "Little prince, why did you get up so early, the slave should be damned, how can I let you..."
Ren Hongfei smiled and stood up and turned around, pulled Lan'er two steps closer and gently pressed it on the stool on the dresser, and said gently: "Lan'er, you have combed my hair for five years, and today I want to see my craftsmanship." β
Lan'er is not to be doubted, Ren Hongfei's left hand gently stroked her waist-length hair, and the wooden comb in his right hand was very gently combed down, Ren Hongfei sighed slightly: "Treat my long hair to my waist, it's good for a young man to marry me, and wait for you to be green and silky, and spread ten miles of red makeup?" It's a pity that although you have long hair and waist, I am not yet a teenager! β
Ren Hongfei's inexplicable words and strange behavior this morning made Lan'er feel panicked, only to hear Ren Hongfei still whispering to himself: "How can I send you out of the palace?" Alas..."
Lan'er trembled, and tears immediately flowed silently: "Xiaofei, you, you don't want me anymore?" β
Ren Hongfei stretched out his left hand and gently wiped a handful of tears for Lan'er, and sighed: "Fool, how could I not want you, it's too late to hurt you, it's just that it's dangerous for you to stay here, the life of deceit, swords, and swords in your smile is really not suitable for you, your heart is too soft, just like my big sister who should be called a mother, sooner or later it will be swallowed up by this filthy land, and there will be no bones left." β
Lan'er finally sobbed: "Lan'er is not afraid of broken bones, as long as she stays by Xiaofei's side all the time, even if the final ending is the same as Miss, she has no regrets." β
Ren Hongfei still sighed: "You're not afraid, I'm afraid, now the only person I care about is you, if you have any accidents, I can't hold on any longer, you are my woman, women are not used to scold, not to beat, not to protect themselves!" Women are used to hurt, to love, to care, at my current age, I can't fully guarantee your safety, if you have any mistakes, the first to collapse is me. β
Lan'er turned around suddenly, stretched out her arms and hugged Ren Hongfei's slender body, tears poured down, although it was only a day, but the sadness experienced was as long as eternity, Lan'er couldn't help but put her face against Ren Hongfei's chest, and howled: "Do you think I can live without you?" If it weren't for you, I would have left this dirty and despicable world with Miss, you are Miss's only hope left in the world, I want to look at you, you are also my only hope to survive, I want to look at you, as long as I can still breathe, I want to look at you all the time! β
Ren Hongfei slowly put the comb down, put one hand around Lan'er's neck, and the other hand caressed and comforted her tear-stained face, speechless for a long time. After being silent for a long time, Lan'er's cry gradually lowered, and Ren Hongfei said softly: "This is what I am most afraid of, you are the same as your mother, you are too emotional, impulsive in case of trouble, if you continue like this, you will suffer a big loss sooner or later." β
Lan'er said softly: "Xiaofei, you let me stay by your side, I promise to listen to your arrangements in the future, talk less and be more tolerant." β
Ren Hongfei hesitated for a long time: "Well, I don't have the ability to send you away now, let's talk about it in a few years, you must live well for me, remember!" Not for yourself, but for me! β
Lan'er let go of her hands, looked at Ren Hongfei, and nodded firmly.
Ren Hongfei took out the last bit of tobacco from his arms, rolled up the paper, Lan'er used flint to light the oil lamp, Ren Hongfei leaned in and took a deep breath and pressed out the wick.
Gently exhaling a puff of smoke, Ren Hongfei closed his eyes and said: "Maybe from today onwards, you will see a different me, but don't be afraid, I am still me, just to protect my most beloved person, any unscrupulous means, any ruthless and vicious, are forced by this dirty land, I am not willing to become a fish on someone else's chopping board, and I will never let you become a fish and meat that can be cut by someone at will, and I will never let fate arrange and hang myself on the coal mountain!" β
Lan'er gently stroked Ren Hongfei's gradually hideous face: "Xiaofei, no matter what you want to do, I will support you and trust you, even if you want me to go..."
Ren Hongfei pressed Lan'er's mouth: "I know what you want to say, I will never let you do this, I just ask you to live well for me, not to beg, but to beg." β
Lan'er's heart calmed down slightly after a long time, and when she came back to her senses, she faintly heard a sound of cane scolding and screaming, Lan'er's expression changed greatly, it seemed that yesterday's upheaval still made her heart palpitate, Lan'er trembled and asked, "What is this sound?" β
Ren Hongfei said with a smile: "Li Jinzhong, the leading actor, has begun to enter the play, Ciqing Palace will be the starting point of his life, I am just a screenwriter behind the scenes, it won't be long before Zhu Changluo will know what retribution is." β
Lan'er exclaimed: "But he's you..."
Ren Hongfei's face suddenly changed color, he reached out and grabbed Lan'er's collar, his face was pale, and he gritted his teeth and said: "I'll say it again, my father's name is Ren Jianguo, my name is Ren Hongfei, and my mother's name is Li Guifen, this Zhu Changluo has nothing to do with me at all, I don't accept Zhu Youzhen's damn, idiot name, and I don't admit it, you'd better not mention it again!" β
Lan'er smiled faintly after being scared for a moment, and gently stroked Ren Hongfei's stiff face with her hand: "Xiaofei, I remember." β
Ren Hongfei slowly calmed down and said gently: "Lan'er, you have grown up, and the good show of Ciqing Palace has also begun to be staged!" β
