Chapter 43: There is no point in pretending
"Do you plan to let Lan Yue continue to serve after you come back, or do you want to bring Lan Yue to the palace today?"
The fourth master suddenly asked, and I remembered that there was still this matter.
"Is it convenient for me to take her back today? I hope she will follow me as soon as possible, and I am really not used to it without a caring person. ”
The fourth master nodded: "You can take her back to the palace in a while." I'm afraid she'll cry with you for a while. You left before, and her eyes were like peaches when she cried. ”
I was a little sorry for Lan Yue and stuck out my tongue. The fourth master patted me on the head: "It's okay, you're back, that's the most important thing." ”
After that, the fourth master took my hand and walked out of the 'door' of the room, and Lan Yue was standing at the 'door'. When he saw me, he cried with tears in his eyes: "Gege." ”
I took her hand: "Oops, oops, don't cry." Do you see me unhappy? Why cry? Saying this, I was actually in tears.
The fourth master patted me on the shoulder: "You go down and talk, I'll clean up the house." When he said that, I thought about what he was going to pack, and my face turned red.
Lan Yue also said very cooperatively: "It's better for the slave to clean up, the fourth master and Gege will go down and sit and wait." ”
I bit my 'lip', the fourth master couldn't see my embarrassment, and pushed me with a smile: "Go down." I'll be down in a moment. ”
I pulled Lan Yue down, and Lan Yue muttered, "How can you let the fourth master do it." This was supposed to be what the slave was supposed to do. ”
"It's okay, I've got a lot to tell you. You come down with me and let the fourth brother clean up. "Let Lan Yue see me and die of shame.
At the round table downstairs, I pulled Lan Yue to sit down: "It's been a year and a half, are you okay?" Have you been here, or have you gone back to the fourth master? ”
"It's always been here. The fourth master said that the slave maid should go back to the palace, but the slave maid thought that since Gege's mansion was left, there must be a suitable person to take care of it, Zhang Lao and I did not leave, and the old knife was always there, leaving two other loyal patriots to clean the courtyard. Lan Yue said, and couldn't help crying and complaining to me: "Why is Gege so ruthless." ”
I smiled and pinched her face: "Don't cry, don't cry." It's not pretty to cry anymore. Didn't I come back? You come back to the palace with me today, and then move back with me in a few days. In the future, you can remember that when there are outsiders, call me a princess, not Gege. ”
Lan Yue nodded: "The slave remembers." ”
The fourth master came downstairs and stood at the 'door' and looked at me: "Let's go." ”
I nodded, pulled Lan Yue to stand up, I came out on horseback when I left the palace, and at this time, I could only ride back on horseback. It's okay if it hurts, right? I complained in my heart: I'm really impulsive, why don't I want to think about so many situations?
Probably seeing my thoughts, the fourth master put his arm around me and said in my ear: "Slow down when you ride back, and take a good bath at night." Shrewd. As he spoke, he gave me a gentle 'kiss' on the face.
I pushed him away: "Lan Yue is still watching!" ”
Lan Yue was blessed: "The slaves and maids didn't see anything, and the masters continued." ”
I turned my head and spat her: "You stinky girl, you dare to make fun of your master." ”
The fourth master smiled and grabbed me: "Okay, okay, don't be shy and make others angry." Let's go back. I'll see you another day. ”
I sank in my heart for his words: "You better stay away from me, one is not to make the one in the palace unhappy, and the other is not to let the one in the palace have any suspicion of you." Nowadays, you can't make a mistake, you have to be very careful. ”
The fourth master's face was also 'gloomy': "I will always find a way to see you." Don't worry about these things. ”
These words are just spoken to comfort each other, and we all know that the situation is far more complicated than what we say.
I took the fourth master's hand and got on the horse, reluctantly let go of his hand, and reluctantly looked back for a long time, his figure became smaller and smaller, until I turned a corner and disappeared from my sight.
When I returned to the palace, I sat on a bench under the begonia tree in the small courtyard, lazy and didn't want to move. Lan Yue sat on the side to help me peel the grapes and eat them, the dark purple 'colored' skin was peeled off, and the tender fruit 'flesh' was 'revealed', and the silver knife cut it from the middle to take out the seeds of the grapes. I'll just eat it steadily.
"You're going to enjoy it." The sudden sound from the 'door' of the small courtyard startled me, and I sat up and looked back, who else could be in such a romantic posture except for the ninth master.
I stood up and blessed a blessing: "Ji Ya greets the ninth master." ”
"Get up." He replied to me in the language 'Meng'.
I poured a cup of tea and handed it to him, and said to Lan Yue, "You go down first." ”
Lan Yue stepped back, I leaned on the recliner and tilted my head to look at the ninth master, he smiled gracefully: "You girl, you can always surprise me." ”
"Is Brother Jiu satisfied with this play?"
"Satisfied, how can you not be satisfied? Your death, your return, all of them caused an uproar in the court, and you are really a capable person. Ninth Master, I was pleasantly surprised by this play. His tone was still like this, which made me feel familiar and happy.
I bowed slightly: "Brother Jiu is satisfied." I didn't have time to say hello to Brother Jiu when I came back, but I asked Brother Jiu to come to see me first. It's really mine. ”
The ninth master shook his head: "I can't wait, I'm in a hurry to see you." Before I met you, I thought to myself that I was just a similar-looking person. But when I saw you like that from a distance at the 'gate' of the courtyard, I knew that it must be you, and it would not be wrong. ”
When he said this, I was very happy in my heart: "Brother Nine recognized me so easily, was it because I didn't disguise it well, or did Brother Nine know me too well?" ”
"You're not going to pretend, are you?"
nodded, I didn't want to fight with him about those sloppy eyes, he was the most thorough in his heart, and I told him the truth: "The prince has been deposed, and I don't mean anything to pretend, right?" Anyway, no matter how much I pretend, you all know who I am. Now, I just have to live my life steadily. ”
The ninth master took a sip of tea: "You can probably be at peace for a while for the time being." Starling is busy gathering the power of ***, and he shouldn't be able to do anything to you for a while. It's just that in the days to come, I'm afraid it won't be necessarily. He paused and sighed, "Tell me about you, you're gone, what are you doing back?" Where is it better than living in this quagmire? Why do you have to come back and be trapped on your own? ”
I raised my eyebrows and blamed him: "I thought that Brother Jiu was looking forward to my return." It turns out that Brother Jiu doesn't want to see me? But I'm not sensible, did I come back to block Brother Jiu? ”
The ninth master knocked me on the forehead hard, I 'rubbed' the sore spot, and stared at him and scolded me: "Little 'bastard' with no conscience!" Why aren't you afraid of blocking me when you're gone? If you say this kind of thing now, you are such a child. As he spoke, he took out a heavy brocade bag from his bosom and stuffed it into my hand: "Here, here are all the things that have been prepared for you in the past two years." You're dead, and you're ready to go. Blocking me? You're really blocking me. ”
As he said that, he turned around and was about to leave, but I took his hand and whispered, "Brother Jiu, thank you." ”
The ninth master looked at me and sighed helplessly: "Take a good rest, although you look much better than you looked at that time, but the road is tiring, and the circles under your eyes are still green." I'll send you some soothing tonics. Gone ......."
