Chapter 263: Old Acquaintances (3)
When the moon rose in the east mountain, I carried a small lamp with a bronze hollow animal face pattern and came to the Wuyin Gate. The ↗ third and third ↗ Jiang Pavilion ↗ ↗ said that the boy guarding the door saw someone coming from a distance, so he stepped down the steps to greet him.
"Is your lady in the house?" I asked the child.
"Madame is in the house, but the sorcerer is ...... hexagram" The little boy raised his head, but his eyes happened to meet my blue eyes, "Mountain, mountain......" Her tongue was knotted at the moment, and she froze in place.
"Go in and tell your wife, and say that the head of the trigram has been invited." I leaned down and put my face in front of her, and she was so frightened that she dropped the small green bamboo lamp in her hand and rushed into Wuyin's room.
Wuyin Xu didn't expect me to come so early, and behind a beaded curtain of opals, she was still eating dinner slowly under the service of two maids. After the boy rushed open the beaded curtain in a panic, I saw her, and she naturally saw me.
I stood outside the door with a smile on my face, and she sat in the hall looking at me, and there was silence around me.
After a while, the maid beside Wuyin put down the food bowl of the cloth and walked out of the door: "Miss Ashi, Madame, please come in." ”
"Okay." I blew out the bronze lamp in my hand, but I didn't move under my feet.
The servant's face was suffocated, and then she reached out and opened the bead curtain on the door for me: "Boss, please!" ”
"Lead the way." I stepped in with my dress, and the maid lowered the beaded curtain and hurried to me, leading the way.
"I haven't seen you for many years, the girl is so magnificent." Wuyin didn't get up when he saw me enter the house, but still slowly put a small piece of sunflower into his mouth.
I sat down on a plush cushion beside her, and said with a smile, "Ah Shi has nothing to offer, but there are some rules that people must have to do enough." What kind of identity a person should do, there is no distinction between the top and bottom, the etiquette is incomplete, and Mrs. Yu's prestige is also disadvantaged. ”
After I finished speaking, I looked at Wuyin's eyes without dodging, Wuyin is a smart person, and naturally I can hear the deep meaning of my words. She smiled and swallowed the sunflower in her mouth, and stretched out her hand to make the two serving maids retreat.
The bead curtain shook slightly, and the voices faded away, and only me and Wuyin were left in the huge room.
Quiet, dim, the two bronze nine tree-shaped lamps on the left and right of the big case were blown out by the wind, and they couldn't see the branches of the peony on the top beam and wooden pillar, nor did they see the phoenix bird on the case, but only the beauty in front of them. Wuyin is still old after all, the sagging corners of her eyes, the slightly rich chin, and the delicate orange chrysanthemum between her temples have not been able to hide the decayed breath between her eyebrows.
"Why did Miss Ah Shi come to Tianshu? Isn't Chudi's Yunmeng Daze enough for the girl to be at ease? She picked up the white jade pear pot full of wine, covered her lips and took a sip.
"The war between the two countries is imminent, and the gossip of Tianshu is changing frequently, and the lord cherishes his wife's hard work, and specially orders Ah Shi to come to help." I replied with a salute.
"Oh? The Lord really has a heart, and he actually found a child from Chu State thousands of miles away to share my worries and relieve my labor. She sneered, lowered her head and took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and wiped the corners of her mouth, "Tell me, what will you do?" How are you going to share my worries? ”
Wuyin has been in Tianshu for many years, and her own spies will tell her who I am, what I will do, and how I plan to "share her worries" for her. Even so, I don't need to say anything to her that doesn't hurt or hurt. Sometimes, getting straight to the point is the most effective means of negotiation.
"The sun rises and the moon sets, the seasons rotate, and everything in the world can be worry-free as long as the rules are followed. At the beginning of the establishment of Tianshu, the prime minister has set their respective responsibilities for Tianshu gossip, Qian, Kun, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Li, Gen, Dui, as long as the head of each hexagram does his duty and helps each other, the worries of the lady can naturally be solved. ”
"Conform to the rules, you can worry free......" Wuyin lowered his head and played with a ruby bracelet on his left wrist, the smile on the corner of his mouth became bigger and bigger, "Does the girl mean that she wants me to take care of all the affairs of the trigram to you?" ”
"Definitely." I took out the jade plaque symbolizing the identity of the master from my bosom and placed it in front of her in a dignified manner, "Madame is confused, the lord has already entrusted me with the matter of the trigram, and now Madame only needs to hand over the key to the heart building of the trigram lock to me, and then issue a gathering order to the people in the valley." ”
"Hahaha......" Wuyin suddenly laughed when he heard this, "Ah Shi, you are indeed a smart child, since I first saw you here, I knew that you were different from them." It's just that such a smart person is stupid when he encounters something related to his lover. Wuyin stretched out her slender fingers and gently patted the back of my hand twice, "Put away the jade plaque, it's just a beautiful stone to me now." Boru thinks he is smart, but he doesn't know that in the eyes of adults, child's play is child's play after all, and it can't be taken seriously if it can't be done. Let you be the master? Hehe, if you like the courtyard of Qiangua, you can keep it for a few more days, and as for the rest, I advise you not to think about it. ”
Wuyin bluntly rejected my proposal, and I was somewhat surprised by her "honesty".
"Madame, is this going against the will of the Lord and making enemies of the Zhao family?" I asked.
"What? Isn't that weird? She replied with a smile.
"No, Ah Shi is just curious. Madame is so confident, does she think that the tent outside the valley can really stop the Zhao family's black armor army? ”
"Black Armor? Do you think that after the battle with Qi and Wei, how many people in the Zhao family will come back alive? Even if they returned, Zhao Ying would no longer be able to send them to the west to fight Tianshu. Wuyin picked up the jade plaque on the table, and threw it into my arms with a casual hand, "Little girl, I have heard all the things you said to Kuroko in the bamboo forest." You're not the only one who wants to play tricks with me all these years. Now they all sleep under the laurel tree outside my door. Men, they all like beautiful girls, if you want to go down and sleep with them, I'm afraid those dead ghosts will laugh out loud in the middle of the night. The corners of Wuyin's mouth were raised high, and the smile made countless fine folds appear on her cheeks, and those slender lines reflected the glimmer of the green bamboo gauze lamp on the desk, like a terrible long-legged green spider covering her face.
"Prime minister's life is not over, and the prince is not a person who can be kind, if Mrs. insists on going her own way, I am afraid that I will lose my life in the end." Mingyi told me that Wuyin was an enemy that was difficult to figure out and deal with, but the woman sitting in front of me was clearly an opponent with inflated ambitions and arrogance to the extreme.
"Worry about yourself, I don't need you to worry about my life." Wuyin straightened the long match on his waist and was about to get up, when out of nowhere, an autumn moth with gray spots on a white background flew out, and the moth was attracted by the firelight and fluttered its wings around a painted pottery kneeling figurine and green gauze lantern on the desk.
Bang bang, the autumn moth hit the lampshade of the pottery lamp several times, but it didn't know how to flinch at all, and blindly wanted to drill into the lampshade.
Wuyin glanced at me, pinched his fingers and lifted the gauze of the oil lamp with a slight and dexterous touch.
"Look, how much it looks like you!" She said.
The fluttering autumn moth spun around the wick and plunged headlong into the red flame.
The flames jumped suddenly, and the room flickered brightly and darkly.
All was calm again.
Wuyin smiled, reached out and pulled out a silver hairpin from his head, gently flicked the wick, and pulled out the autumn moth that had been burned black, "I know that I am dead but I still have to desperately get in, the stupidest thing in the world is this moth that puts out the fire......" Wuyin held the hairpin sticking to the moth's charred corpse to her eyes and looked at it carefully, her eyes were blurred, her voice was fluttering, and a sentence was both like a mean mockery and a helpless self-pity.
"When the lady was thirteen years old, she followed the prime minister into Jiang, but she was born in a fisherman's family but was favored for more than ten years, and she trampled a group of women of the scholar clan on the soles of her feet. In the end, Madame didn't want to be trapped in Zhao Fu I, so he sent you into Tianshu. The prime minister treats you like this, why did Madame betray the Zhao family when he was seriously ill? What exactly is Madame asking for? Is it power, money, or people? "I looked at the five tones.
"Brue told you these things?" Five Tones turned his head.
I nodded in acquiescence, and she suddenly brought her face in front of me and smiled, "How is it, little girl, this story sounds familiar?" Thirty years, thirty years from now, you are what I am now. ”
Wuyin's face was less than two inches from the tip of my nose, and I could clearly see the folds under her eyes and her heavily powdered cheeks. Kuroko once said that as long as the five tones are disposed of, when Wuxian succeeds to the position of the Zhao clan's sect master, I will become the next master of Tianshu. If this is the case, will I be another pentatonic thirty years from now?
"Are you scared?" She asked.
"I'm not you, and I'm not going to betray him when he's seriously ill."
"Hmph, some stories shouldn't be told by just one person......" The charred corpse of the autumn moth was flicked by the pentatonic song and put the silver hairpin in my hand, "Don't make a fuss about Zhao Ying, I don't love him, and I'm not afraid of him." If you want to go, do so within three days. After three days, I'm afraid you won't be able to see Zhao Wuxian. ”
"You're going to let me go?!" She said so much tonight, but the one that surprised me the most was, "Why?" If you know anything about my past, you should kill me now. I clenched the silver hairpin in my hand.
"I know all too well what you've done, so I didn't even think about sparing your life. It's just that I promised someone else these three days. After three days, I will plant a hibiscus flower you like in the garden, and if you don't leave, you will just take advantage of me and add a bunch of flower manure for nothing. After finishing speaking, without waiting for me to speak again, he reached out and tore off a red rope that hung from the wooden beam. After a while, two tall maidservants walked in through the door.
"Send Miss Ah Shi back to Qiangua!" Wuyin ordered.
"No" and the two took the order, and immediately walked towards me with a fierce attitude.
I bowed to the five tones, and walked straight through the two maidservants. Baidu search "Sanjiang Pavilion" to see the latest and most complete!
