Chapter 11 Diversity is the true meaning of life
I smiled and asked him, "Mr. Fox, where is my fourth brother?" β
"Back to Gege, I'm in the study with Mr. Wu." Dai Duo replied respectfully, with deep displeasure in his eyes that I had called him Mr. Fox.
I pushed open the door of the study and called, "Fourth brother, Mr. Wu!" I've got a guest for you! β
The fourth master got up and looked at me and asked, "You girl, who did you bring here?" β
I dodged out of the way and said to him, "Look! β
When the fourth master saw the fourteenth master, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but his voice was still calm: "Yinzhen, why are you here?" β
The fourteenth master was a little embarrassed, I smiled and said: "When I went out of the palace, I met the fourteenth brother, and the fourteenth brother took me to the concubine to sit for a while, and I said that I wanted to come to the fourth brother's house, and he followed by himself!" After that, I went straight to Mr. Wu to play the piano.
The Fourteenth Master finally spoke: "Fourth brother." β
"Come in and sit!"
Their brothers sat down to talk, and I played the piano honestly, and after playing for a while, I stopped and asked Mr. Wu, "Sir, have I improved again?" Praise me, praise me! β
Mr. Wu shook his head and smiled: "Gege has really improved, not only the piano skills have improved, but even this cheek seems to have grown a lot, what about the fourth master?" β
The fourth master smiled and said, "What Mr. said is true! β
I snorted, ignored them, and shouted at Dai Duo outside, "Mr. Fox! Bring a few apples to Gege! β
I walked to the desk and sat down, took the pen and dipped it in ink, and after a while, Dai Duo came into the room and put down the apple, and I stopped my pen and picked the biggest and most beautiful one to nibble on.
The fourth master walked over, looked at the words on the table and read: "Flowers are not flowers, fog is not fog, and there is nowhere to find each other in dreams." The dream of the previous life, the wind of yesterday, and the flowers in the fog are not silent. β
"Gege is written in a bit of Zen." Mr. Wu squinted and said.
I shook my head and said, "I'm not a monk, I don't have the freedom of Nirvana, but I have a lifetime of nostalgia, so when the apple appeared in front of me, I ran away with the apple!" β
The three of them were stunned for a moment, then laughed.
The fourth master said helplessly: "You girl! Always! β
The fourteenth master also said: "You girl, why do you think you are a fair lady every time, and you are in a hurry to reveal your true form?" β
I rolled them over and said, "Diversity is the true meaning of life!" With that, I put down the apple core in my hand and said, "You guys talk first, I'm tired, go sleep for a while, call me when dinner is ready!" β
After saying that, I got up and said to Dai Duo, "Mr. Fox! I'm sleepy, I'm going to sleep in the same room last time! β
The Fourteenth Master was puzzled: "Last time?" β
The fourth master smiled: "It was still the winter of forty-six years, this girl followed Yinxiang out of the palace, drank too much at my place, and woke up at noon the next day." β
Mr. Wu said on the side: "The Thirteenth Master and Wu also drank too much that day, and I am afraid that only the fourth master is not drunk." β
I didn't bother to pay attention to them, so I let Dietor lead me away. Last time, I went after drinking, and the wine came out of the house before I woke up, and I don't remember where it was.
When he reached the door, Dai Duo pushed open the door and said, "Gege, rest, I'll let you guard outside." β
"Go, go, go!"
I've been getting used to being at ease lately, and it's really uncomfortable to wear this bun, so when I enter the house, I sit down and spread my hair out, wrapping all my hair accessories in a handkerchief and putting them aside. Xu was really tired, and fell asleep when he fell.
After a while, there was a knock on the door, and I asked in a daze, "Who?" β
"Gege, it's time for dinner."
As soon as I heard the voice of a girl, I said, "You can come in first." β
The girl pushed the door in, and I sat up, rubbed my eyes, and tried to ask her to wash my face with a basin of water, but I was startled at the sight of her faceβit was Lan Qi, Lan Qi's bloody face.
"It's not true, it's my dream, you're dead! You're dead! β
But she approached me step by step, leaned over to me and said, "Gege, the slave and maid are dying miserably! Chattered! β
I couldn't retreat, and I drew my dagger and was about to stab it, but she grabbed my hand. I struggled and shouted, "Let go!" You're dead! It's all your own sin! Don't pester me! β
I felt invincible and shouted, "Go away!" Fourth brother! Fourth brother, come and save me! β
I was grabbed with both hands, but I heard the voice of the fourth master shouting: "Yubing! Wake up! β
When I opened my eyes, I saw that the fourth master was holding my hand, and the fourteenth master was standing at the door looking at me anxiously. I actually grabbed the dagger in my hand, and as soon as I let go of my hand, the dagger fell to the ground. I threw myself into the arms of the fourth master, relying on his body temperature to remind myself that this was just a dream, this was just a nightmare.
The fourth master asked, "What's wrong with you?" Dai Duo said that no one answered after calling you several times, but he heard you talking in the house, so if you don't worry, let me come and have a look. Are you having nightmares? β
I nodded tremblingly, and said in a trembling voice, "I...... I ......"
The fourth master said to the fourteenth master: "Yinzhen, you go and ask Dai Duo to bring some spirits." The Fourteenth Master went out and commanded Dai Duo, and then he came in, and he came over and asked me, "What did you dream about, why are you scared like this?" β
The fourth master sat down and put his arm around my shoulders to comfort me, my teeth were still trembling and fighting, I tried to calm down and said, "I dreamed of Lan Qi, she came to me to ask for her life." β
The fourth master and the fourteenth master were shocked by this sentence, and asked me in unison, "What?" β
I looked at them and asked the fourth master, "Is it convenient to talk here?" β
"It's the same everywhere in my house."
I asked the Fourteenth Master again, "Can you swear to keep this secret to the death?" β
He nodded, and I spoke, "Brother Thirteen and I have been being hunted down since the first day we descended the mountain, and we are not in a group. Brother Thirteen and I decided to descend the mountain on a temporary basis, so I wondered why anyone would be able to know our whereabouts and lay in ambush along the way. On the day I arrived in the capital, the thirteenth brother was wounded, and my guards died. Lan Qi was so frightened that she had a miscarriage. No matter how much I thought about it, I didn't think something was right, so I asked her whose child it was. Did she reveal our whereabouts? She finally confessed that she had betrayed me. And the child in her belly turned out to be the eighth master's. I couldn't keep this woman, so I rewarded her with three feet of white silk and let her cut herself. β
The fourth master comforted me: "It's okay, it's okay." She brought it on herself, not your fault. β
But the fourteenth master asked me, "Starling?" Does this have something to do with starlings? β
I said lightly: "The eighth master wants to kill me, and it's not a day or two. Both he and the prince thought that if they couldn't take me for themselves, then it would be better to kill me. When I was crazy, they probably thought it didn't matter if I lived or died, so they ignored me. When I woke up this time, they thought, "It's better to kill me." β
