The sun gradually set, Shanshan appeared like a bright red silk hanging in the sky, I sat on the rockery in front of the rockery, half tilted my face, looking at the sky overhead, layers of colorful clouds, it turned out to be such a splendid, such a purple red, purple red into crimson, crimson into pink, pink and finally into light red.

This is the sky of more than 100 years ago, and it is also the sky of Beijing. I had never been to Beijing before, and I had already told my parents that I would arrange a three-day free trip to Beijing as soon as the weather warmed up, and I even squeezed out the holidays. But alas, I got here before them in this way. When I think of my parents, I can't help but feel a pain in my heart, I can't imagine how sad they will be when they learn the news that I have been in a car accident......

In the midst of a deep sadness, a clear voice sounded and asked, "What are you doing?" How did you stay motionless? ”

I looked sideways, it turned out to be Zhiqi, a blue Shu brocade robe, loosely rolled up at the wrist, casual and slightly square, I smiled and pointed to the sky and said, "I'm watching the sunset." ”

He walked up to me, glanced at the sky, and said, "What's so nice about this," he glanced at me, looked at me again, and said, "The eldest brother and the second brother are right, you have really become much quieter!" ”

My heart trembled slightly, but soon I calmed down again, still looking at the sky, and asked, "Was I very restless before?" ”

"Since we returned to Beijing with my uncle in the twelfth year of Guangxu, where have you ever been born one day, grandma sees you on weekdays, always says that you are like a loose horse, I am afraid you will not be able to marry in the future."

I looked sideways at Chi, the pale red glow reflected on his face, as if a glittering light flowed gently through his eyes, and the corners of his mouth immediately raised a bright smile.

As soon as I met his gaze, I hurriedly looked away, lowered my head and said, "Isn't it good for me to be like this?" "I can understand that smile is his doting on Zhenzixi, but I'm not her sister Tatara Zixi, I'm Xiao Tong.

Zhiqi thought for a while and said, "It's not bad, it's just that I prefer you like the way you used to." ”

I chuckled and asked, "What was it before?" ”

He chuckled low and said, "No heart, no lungs, no nonsense." ”

I frowned and glanced at Zhiqi, although my mouth was amused, "In your heart, I am like this?" But he sighed in his heart, it turned out that Zhenzixi was such a person.

Zhiqi nodded and asked rhetorically, "Otherwise?" He cleared his throat and said one after another: "At the age of five, he knocked over the cups and saucers that his uncle's daughter had bought back, at the age of six, he tied Zhirui's braid to the chair, at the age of seven, he almost fell into the well, and at the age of eight, he ran out to get someone's lantern and was chased all over the street......"

The more I listened, the more embarrassed I felt, even if I didn't do these things, I still felt embarrassed, after all, I was holding on to this unsuccessful body. I hurriedly interrupted him and said, "Look, the sunset on the horizon is full of changing colors, how beautiful! ”

He looked at me with a smile, then looked up at the sky, and said, "The sun is open and the sunset is shining, and the wind is full of autumn water lines." ”

Anyway, I am also from a liberal arts background in modern times, so I immediately reacted and said, "It turns out that you like Bai Juyi." ”

Chi Qi retracted his gaze, looked at me in surprise, and said, "When did you start working the poetry book again?" ”

I shook my head, ignored his words, continued to look at the sky, was silent for a long time, and said loudly: "The ice spring is cold and the strings are condensed, and the condensation will not be silenced for a while." Don't have gloom and hatred, silence is better than sound at this time. ”

He waited for a while, and said casually: "What a good one who has no sorrow and secret hatred, silence is better than sound at this time." ”

I smiled and didn't speak, and he asked again: "You're going to enter the palace in six months, to be honest, are you afraid?" ”

I pursed my lips, "You're not too young, do you have any plans, do you want to be as attentive as the eldest brother and the second brother?" ”

He said: "Obviously, I asked you first, you answer me first, and I will tell you later." ”

I wrung my eyebrows, "If you don't say it, I know it." Then he ignored him. The afterglow in the sky was still not dissipated, like a half-gray and half-red rouge, filling the sky with a strange mystery.

I looked sideways and saw that he was still standing in place, without the slightest intention of leaving, so I had to say: "Afraid, why not afraid, don't people say that once you enter the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea?" ”

He said "um" and said, "Even if you still understand some truth, what grandma is most worried about is your temperament of saying what you want to say and doing what you want, without scruples." ”

I chuckled and shook my head.

Zhiqi looked at me puzzled and said, "What kind of attitude do you have?" ”

I turned my head and looked at him, thinking that he was a bit of the head of the family, no wonder he was the head of the family later. But I don't know how to explain it to him, should I tell him about the twists and turns of my experience after becoming a concubine? Do you tell him about the bleak fate that I have established in history? Do you tell him that I already know the end of everyone?

I smiled and sighed, and said softly, "Third brother, do you believe in fate?" ”

Zhiqi looked at me and said, "We are all educated people, this is the fourteenth year of Guangxu, Western studies tell us that this world is made of matter," raised his eyebrows, "I only believe that man will conquer the sky." ”

Speaking, suddenly there was a burst of laughter from behind the rockery, Zhirui and Zhijun turned out of the cave one after the other, Zhirui took off his coat, only a hookah-colored brocade robe was left, and laughed and said to Zhijun behind him: "A good person will win the day!" ”

When I saw that it was them, I stood up and said, "It's you." ”

Zhijun smiled and touched his chin, "Originally, I was just hanging out, but I didn't expect to hear you talking here." "The thin persimmon-colored brocade lace looks particularly gorgeous against the backdrop of the sky.

Zhiqi smiled: "I also happened to meet Zixi here, so I couldn't help but chat a few more words." ”

Zhirui patted me on the back, raised his eyebrows at Zhijun and Zhiqi, and said, "Don't you think that Zixi has become much calmer after falling from that tree?" ”

I glanced at Zhirui and said, "How can I have it!" ”

Zhijun looked at me with a smile.

Zhirui hurriedly pulled Zhiqi over and asked, "Zhiqi, you can't lie the least, do you have it?" ”

Before Zhiqi could answer, I had already raised my hand to hit Zhirui first, and said with a slight annoyance: "You still say!" ”

Zhirui grimaced at me, took two steps back, and said with a smile, "I'll just say it!" I'll just say! ”

Zhijun shook his head, dragged Zhirui over, and said, "You know how to bully Zixi!" ”

Zhirui hated and said: "Brother, why do you always help her, I am your brother-in-law!" Most of the words were joking.

Zhiqi persuaded: "Big brother, second brother has always been like this, let him go." Zhirui hurriedly nodded.

I looked at them, and my heart couldn't help but feel sour, if they were born in modern times, they would definitely live happily, and they would definitely be able to play their respective strengths in the right field, but they were born in ancient times, or the end of the Guangxu period.

The more they make trouble and laugh more now, the more gloomy my my surroundings become.
