11. Still sleeping and sleeping, startled to spring sleep in the afternoon window.
If I dreamed of my aunt's yard, I caught up with my aunt who was napping on the chaise longue, although I asked Cui'e not to wake her up, but it still alarmed my aunt.
"Meng'er is here, have you eaten at this hour?"
"Auntie, I used it at my grandmother's. Why don't you go to the couch to rest?"
"I can't sleep when I go to the couch. Is there something wrong with the dream? ”
On weekdays, Rumeng doesn't step into the backyard, because the three aunts live in the same yard, which is quite inconvenient. Most of them were the fourth aunts who went to sit in her yard. When she came to the door today, the fourth aunt was afraid that her daughter would have any difficulties, so she hurriedly came to the door to find her.
"It's not a big deal, after a few days of the Moon Festival, my grandmother allowed a few of us to go shopping, my aunt needs it very much, and Meng'er will bring it back to you."
"Meng'er has a heart, what can the aunt in the inner courtyard of the high wall use, but Meng'er can go and buy more jewelry"
After the aunt finished speaking, she seemed to remember something, and called Cui'e to go to the dressing table to get something. After a while, Cui'e held a money bag, and her aunt picked it up and stuffed it into Rumeng's hand.
"Take it, my aunt doesn't spend much on weekdays, Meng'er spends more on behalf of my aunt, don't push, my aunt hopes that her daughter doesn't lack anything, and there is nothing to give."
"My aunt said where I went, Meng'er took it, and I bought some purple and red head flowers to wear in Ming'er, and when I met someone, I said that my aunt gave it to me, but it's good."
"This kid has been out of a lot lately"
"Auntie, Meng'er came today to inquire about something. Auntie, do you know where there are luthiers? ”
"Why do you want to buy a piano? It's not difficult to make a violin, but I heard that the wood used to make the violin is extremely rare, and some of it costs a hundred taels of silver."
"Meng'er has a ready-made fir there, thinking that I can make a guqin, but there is a lack of a handicraft master. Thinking about my aunt, do you know? ”
"My aunt has an old friend, she is a female luthier in the palace back then, she opened a piano workshop after she was released, she can make and repair the piano, and I heard that she occasionally collects guqin. It's just that I haven't seen it for many years, I don't know if it's still there, I can go and see it, I'll give you the address"
"Couldn't be better, thank you Auntie"
"But Meng'er, where did you get the wood?"
"Auntie, didn't you go to Xiangyun Temple with your grandmother some time ago, and you got it by chance?"
"Okay, Meng'er wait for my aunt, I have something for you"
The fourth aunt got up and walked towards the cage in the house, rummaged for a while, and came out with a package.
"Meng'er, there are a lot of people on the Moon Festival, and it's more convenient to go out in men's clothes. This shirt was worn by my aunt when she sneaked out of the palace when she was teaching the priest's shop, and she was the same size as you back then, so you must be able to wear it. ”
If I saw it in a dream, my aunt was holding a set of men's private clothes, with a full inner shirt and outer shirt, a collar and a dobby, the color of the clothes was dark green, and the bottom was soap-colored trousers, and the style was not outdated today.
"My aunt is really caring, Meng'er is worried that she has no clothes that day"
The fourth aunt felt extremely satisfied when she saw her daughter's coquettish state, and immediately smiled.
"Mo Sajiao, take it and go back to the yard, a few aunts will know about it in a while."
Rumeng said goodbye to her aunt obediently, but her heart was a little sad, the concubine room in the deep house, even if she was close to her daughter, she had to be careful, I was afraid that she would be red-eyed.
Manchu Palace
"Aoki, are you okay with the explanation?"
"Lord Bing, it's all right. It was delivered to the yard last night, and the letterhead was also handed over. Inevitably, others found out that there was an incident, so they knocked on the window that night to remind Miss Four"
"Well, clean up your mistakes. Also, I asked you to find me a master who teaches me the strength of the exercises, but do you have eyebrows? ”
"Lord Wang, this is not troublesome, my master has no task recently. And he's an old man who is good at qigong and internal exercises."
"In the afternoon, you go and invite his old man, saying that I have something to look for him."
"Yes"
Aoki didn't know how to explain to the master that the prince had been working hard recently. First, he ran to the school field for three days and two ends, and then pestered him to learn boxing, but he felt that it was not enough, so he invited a swordsman. Is the prince going to prepare for a rebellion in the future? That's not good, it seems that Master really has to go out of the mountain.
Lin Qingshan hadn't entered the Beijing Division for five years, and today Aoki came to look for him, saying that the prince had something to discuss. I think that he withdrew from the rivers and lakes back then, took the Aoki he picked up, and hid himself as a shadow guard beside the old winning king. When the old winning king was dying, he reached out to take the man king, who was less than two years old. At that time, his life was tied to this child.
Carrying him out of the crisis-ridden deep palace, it will be four years in this palace given by the old winning king. When Aoki was able to take on the important task alone, he retreated into the background and specially trained the killer shadow guard for the Manchu king.
He didn't know what the Manchu King would plan to do in the future, he just wanted to live up to the trust of the old king and keep the Manchurian king worry-free.
"Father-in-law, you are here today to ask for something"
"It's okay to say it's late, but what's the difficulty?"
"Father-in-law, I want to practice martial arts, I know that the dynasty is heavy on literature and light on martial arts, and I also know that if I practice martial arts, it will definitely cause an uproar in the Manchu Dynasty, but the child still wants to try"
"You can rest assured in the court, and your father-in-law can keep you worry-free. But there is one thing I can't think of, why did you practice martial arts? ”
"It's... I don't know yet, but I think I'll give you an explanation in the future."
"Well, since you were a child, you have been calm and thoughtful, and your father-in-law will help you. Ask Aoki to send my things to the palace, and I'll move back to live."
In the blink of an eye, it is time to sacrifice the moon, and this day is high and refreshing. Ping'er seemed extremely excited, got up early in the morning and waited for Rumeng to freshen up and then simply ate a snack.
"Miss, I heard that there are many foods in the downtown area, let's go and try it"
"Okay, I didn't see you so happy in the past, so I'll let you go today"
"Thank you, Miss, Miss is really handsome in this men's dress, if you don't know, you don't know how many boudoir ladies you will be fascinated by"
"You don't have much to give you if you flatter me anymore, let's go quickly, the second sister and the third sister are still waiting for us in the courtyard."
In the courtyard, I saw Rutong, who was also dressed in men's clothes, and both of them were stunned when they saw Rumeng, and then laughed. If Rumeng is the son next door who is as warm as jade, then Rutong is a graceful young man. The two of them didn't expect to think of a place.
"It's a pity that my aunt doesn't allow me to wear men's clothes"
Ruzhu saw the tacit understanding between the two, and said with some loss.
"It's okay, third sister, today I and my fourth sister will be your flower protectors, aren't you beautiful?"
Rutong broke Ruzhu's loss with words and continued:
"Why haven't you seen that Bi Danzhu yet, can't you not go?"
"The second sister doesn't want me to go with me like this"
A strong smell of fragrance wafted from afar, and I saw Bi Danzhu's flowers and branches falling in front of everyone's eyes. Rutong and the others didn't bother to stumble with her, turned their heads and walked out the door.
Today's Zhengyang Street is crowded with people, the tea shops are full of people, and there are more small stalls on the roadside than usual. Occasionally, officers and soldiers can be seen patrolling by. Presumably, the government is also afraid that some bad people will take advantage of this to cause trouble.
A few people looked at this booth, and looked at that place, so unhappy. Suddenly, I saw a long queue in front of Fangzhai, so I went up to take a look, and listened to the lady in line say that today's rose cakes in Fangzhai are very affordable, and you can get one more box of horseshoe cakes if you buy a box. Thinking that the fourth aunt liked these, she sent Ping'er to line up.
"Fourth sister, my third sister and I will go over there to see the pearl hairpin, you buy a rose cake and come to us"
"Second sister, I'm afraid this will have to wait in line for a while, why don't you and the third sister go to the Taoist temple first, I'll go there to find you"
"It's okay, there are a lot of people here, we'll see you at the Taoist Temple Sign-off Office"
Bi Danzhu saw that the three of them had a discussion, but none of them asked her, so she was very annoyed, called a nursing home, and went to visit other stalls.
"Mo Li her, I don't know if I want to follow, I have to go very well, anyway, there is a nursing home to follow, and I can't make a big deal on the left"
If you dream of it, you will ignore it.
"Ping'er, there are too many people, I'll wait for you under the stone bridge, don't walk around"
After Rutong and Ruzhu left, Rumeng moved to the street to wait, the autumn sun was very scorching, but fortunately there were rows of trees by the stone bridge, which could provide shade.
After sitting for a while, I felt drowsy like a dream, and I didn't know whether I was playing or watching the sea of people, and the scenery was very disturbing. It's better to go to the piano shop early and go home.
"The girl in front, quickly dodge, don't rush."
If you hear a shout from somewhere in your dream, you look around, and when you see it clearly, you see a little calf coming straight to you, and if you are on top of it, you must have fallen into the river.
Seeing that the calf had knocked away the debris on the side of the road and rushed to him, a white shadow stopped him and picked it up like a dream, and landed on the bridge. A squad of officers and soldiers rushed to the ground and pushed the calf to the ground.
"Fourth Miss? How about you? ”
Rumeng came back from the fright, and when he heard the words, he looked at the person who was still holding him.
No matter how far away the voice was, she couldn't get it wrong. For many years, she longed for this man to talk to her more. Every time he returned home, he could hear his voice from afar, asking "Is my mother okay?"
Not once, he never asked if she was okay. So much so that in the end, she didn't want to hear his voice again.
Rumeng violently pushed Fang Yujiang away, but the other party didn't expect to be pushed and stumbled. Fang Yujiang sneered indifferently, he didn't know how he had offended this fourth young lady, and his eyes were full of hostility when he saw him for the first time.
"Fourth Miss, do we have some misunderstanding? It seems that the contemptible person saved you just now, if you are offended, I hope to forgive me, I thought you were a son, and I didn't mean to be light"
"Where can there be a misunderstanding, although my son and I met for the second time, we didn't know each other, just now the little girl was frightened, sorry"
Fang Yujiang didn't want to get involved, after all, she was a woman, and she still had to have some grace.
"It's good that Miss Fourth is fine, and she went out by herself today? Why don't you see your followers? If you need it, you can send you home."
"No need, there is Lao Gongzi, my maid is shopping on the opposite side, I'll wait for her together"
Rumeng was wrestling with the other party, and suddenly saw something plunged into his arms, the smell was very pungent, and it was accompanied by a dumb inquiry:
"Fourth sister, are you okay, it's all your fault, cousin, you shouldn't have been left to hang out alone, were you injured?"
With the sound, the thing raised its head, it was Bi Danzhu, and I don't know where she pounced here, her strength was very strong, Rumeng only felt pain in her chest, grinning, and couldn't speak.
"Cousin, I'm fine, don't worry."
Rumeng gritted his teeth and said.
I saw that Bi Danzhu still had a worried face one moment, and the next moment he immediately changed into a warm smile, facing Fang Yujiang, and said eloquently:
"Thank you Brother Fang for saving the fourth sister, Danzhu is grateful"
While talking, he also bowed, and his demeanor was very gentle and decent.
