Chapter 10: Cousin Question
When Zhezhe woke up, it was already dark outside. The kerosene lamps in the side room, from one on the table to seven or eight in the corner, the whole room was much brighter, the only deficiency was that there was a lot of smoke, and it smelled smoky.
Across from him sat a man, dressed in a Taoist robe and wearing a mask, with his eyes closed, hanging his hands, motionless, as if asleep.
It turned out to be a senior brother, Zhezhe only felt that he was sleeping this night, and he was uncomfortable, especially the arm that was pressed, he was numb, and he moved his stiff leg while rubbing his arm, and he was still thinking in his mind, when did the senior brother come in? How long have you been sitting across from yourself? Why haven't Aru and Aunt Mei come back yet?
Zhezhe twisted on the left, turned around on the right, looked at the dark sky outside, and didn't know when, did the master come back? Have you ever had a meal? Why didn't anyone call him to eat?
Just as he was thinking, the person on the other side moved.
Zhezhe sat down busily, and met the pair of eyes that Yin Si opened, he couldn't see what emotions he had, and he didn't know what to say, but he was thinking about it, Yin Si spoke: "Awake?" ”
Zhezhe nodded, feeling that his neck was still a little stiff, and wanted to take a pen and write something on the paper to ask Yinsi, but he thought that he disliked his bad words, so he had to look at him stunned.
I had just woken up, and my eyes were ignorant, and I was very innocent.
"If there's something wrong with the accommodation, you should sleep in the next room for a few nights," Yin Si continued, "The bed has been made by Aunt Mei and your two maids on the other side." ”
The other side? Paved? Zhezhe thought of the wing room on the opposite side that was blocked by the screen and had never been entered, so there was still a bed over there?
It's good to have a place to live, she is not picky.
"Dinner, eat here too, wake up, and someone will bring it to you later!" Yin Si was unhurried, got up, saluted her, and disappeared behind the screen.
Zhezhe was not surprised, and when he was gone, he got up, stretched vigorously, yawned for a while, and finally woke up sleepy, and after a while, Ah Wan and Ah Ru came in, carrying the food box, cleaning up the table, and setting up the meal.
He happened to be hungry, and when he saw the food, Zhezhe threw himself on them and ate half full. When he waved his hand to remove the dishes and chopsticks, he saw that Aru's eyes were red and half of his face was swollen.
What's going on?
Zhezhe stretched out his hand to pull Ah Ru, who was hiding and avoiding her, with a puzzled face, he turned his head to look at Ah Wan, as if asking.
"It's nothing, I ran into Miss Cousin and provoked Miss Cousin," Ah Wan replied quickly, lowered her head, and continued to pack her things, "Miss, don't ask again!" ”
Why can't you ask? Miss Cousin is so powerful, right? Which table lady? So fierce?
Zhezhe took one hand and pulled Ah Wan to sit down, pulling one hand and not letting go, with an expression that if you don't make it clear, I won't let go.
As a result, the two maids were stunned and pretended to be dumb, and waited for a long time, but there was no way, so they had to let them go, waved their hands, and the two of them got the order, and hurriedly retreated, and no one came back for a long time.
Zhezhe sat there alone, very depressed, how could her maid be beaten in this view? Miss Return? The lady with the surname table? I was distressed, and a person came in from outside the screen, and it was Kurong.
"Little apprentice, come on, come on!" Seeing the two maids walking away, Ku Rong sneaked in, with the back of his hand behind his back to sell Guanzi, "Guess what I brought with you?" ”
Master? Zhezhe followed the voice, he saw Kurong, sniffed his nose, smelled the fragrance, saw that there was no one around, put his hand around his mouth, and replied, "It's roast chicken!" ”
"That's smart!" Ku Rong handed over the roast chicken wrapped in oiled paper, Zhezhe hurriedly took it with both hands, and after opening it, he first ripped off the chicken legs, he didn't eat it, and handed it to Ku Rong respectfully.
"If the master doesn't eat it, I'll give it to you!" Ku Rong waved his hand, this little apprentice still knew that he would be filial to him first, and he was really teachable.
Zhezhe didn't give up, he must give him the chicken legs, "I can't eat it alone, you can help me eat some!" ”
Ku Rong took it over, and the two of them sat on both sides of the table, sitting cross-legged on the ground, one of them had a chicken leg in his hand, and he was very happy to gnaw on it.
"Master, my two maids-" Thinking about it, Zhezhe felt that since he had opened his mouth to talk to the master, there were many things here, in fact, he could ask the master directly, why did he pretend to be dumb and inquire by himself? How hard it is!
"I sent them to the kitchen to boil water with you, don't worry, you won't be able to come back for a while, you can eat slowly!" Kurong ate and chewed slowly, very carefully, and when he opened his mouth, he had to swallow everything in his mouth before he spoke.
"It's not-" Zhezhe, on the other hand, just gnawed on it in a big gulp, chewing something while talking, "I saw that Aru was beaten in the face, do you know what's going on?" ”
"Has Aru been beaten?" This Ku Rong really didn't know, he had only come back for a long time, and he hadn't heard anyone mention it to him, he had just been talking to the two maids outside, and the black light was blinding, and he didn't see it clearly.
"Well, didn't you see that?" Zhezhe pointed to the side of his face, "This half is swollen and tall, and his eyes are red from crying!" ”
"Really?" Ku Rong stopped there, thought for a while, and when he came back, Aunt Mei came to him, saying that he couldn't arrange for Zhezhe to go to the women's area tonight, and wanted her to rest in the wing room of the daily province. Ku Rong just casually asked why, and Aunt Mei said that there was a mistake in the arrangement of the manager, and there was no room to live in. He was in a hurry to come over to deliver the roast chicken, thinking that this wing room was not bad, the three rooms were connected, there was no lack of anything, and it was okay to live here, so he didn't think too much.
Zhezhe mentioned this, but he was careful, could it be that there was a problem with the arrangement of the person in charge?
"I asked them for a long time, and then I heard a Miss Cousin, who is Miss Cousin?" Zhezhe asked in a low voice as he continued to eat the meat.
Yes! Ku Rong patted his thigh, two days ago, he really listened to the head of the matter and asked, saying that it was the turn of the royal history family daughter's visit letter, whether to arrange it, he thought at the time, although it was rumored that it was related to the eldest son of his family, but the eldest son was dead, thinking about a little girl who was deep in the boudoir, there should be nothing to do with it, so he agreed.
It seems that I didn't think it through!
I wonder if my nephew knows?
I'm afraid that when we meet, this nephew will count him down again, and I will have a headache when I think about it.
"Master, this cousin, is it my cousin's meaning, or is her surname Table?" Zhezhe was a little confused.
"It's your cousin," Ku Rong scratched his head, what should he do, how could he argue with his nephew later.
Ah, I see, I thought I met two sisters and brothers in the afternoon, could it be those two people? Listening to what the girl said, she seemed to hate herself and Xinxin, she moved in in the afternoon, and she probably didn't run away!
"What's their name?" Although Zhezhe knew that it was those two people, he still didn't know the names, so he asked Kurong casually.
"Both?" Ku Rong didn't understand, he only agreed to come over alone, what? Did the little girl bring her sister with her?
"That's right," Zhezhe said to Ku Rong about going to the main hall to worship Buddha in the afternoon and overhearing the two sisters and brothers talking, as for the son, she didn't dare to mention it.
"That's Miss Wei Jin and Prince Wei Shen," Ku Rong nodded, Wei Shen is here to see him off, it should be nothing, but what Wei Jin said made him also have doubts in his heart, and asked Zhezhe in turn, "What they said, but is it true?" ”
"Aren't they telling the truth?" Where did Zhezhe know if what they were telling was the truth, she still wanted to ask Ku Rong, why did Ku Rong ask her in turn.
"......" Ku Rong remembered that the Zhezhe in front of her was not the original Zhezhe, she knew probably less than herself, but the words she heard today were worth recalling, so she asked her to repeat it again.
"Gone?" Ku Rong always felt that there was no clue at all with just this little dialogue!
Zhezhe was a little hesitant, should he tell the master, I met my future brother-in-law, the son of the prince's family?
As soon as Ku Rong saw her tangled expression, he knew that there was a play, and he was busy coaxing and cheating, and finally opened his mouth.
"I also met someone in the afternoon, like my future brother-in-law!" Zhezhe said truthfully.
"Huh?" Ku Rong never thought that there was such a thing? Pressed her up, "Are you sure?" ”
"Are you sure?" was asked so seriously by Ku Rong, Zhezhe's originally firm approval was moved.
"What did he tell you?" Ku Rong didn't bother with whether it was a question or not, he only cared about what they talked about.
"It's nothing," Zhezhe retold the words that had been uttered, along with the words of his servant in front of him, to Kurong.
Hearing Zhecheng's two words, Ku Rong was silent, and after a while, he looked up at Zhezhe, who was still determined, and stopped talking, but finally held back.
"You can't guess what you hear, don't think about it yourself," Ku Rong comforted her, "Your cousin, because she is the first daughter of the Wang family, is particularly favored, and her personality is a little weird, but her heart is good, and the maid who beat you today is also a misunderstanding!" ”
"But did I hear her say that I and my sister!" Zhezhe is not happy, she must have some contradiction with me and Xinxin, before Xinxin's maid came to look for her, Awan also mentioned the cousin, now this Wei Jin is the cousin, the cousin in Awan's mouth must be the eldest brother in Wei Jin's mouth!
Ah Wan said, the cousin's incident.
Xin Xin said, why didn't you die?
Wei Jin said that her eldest brother's three-year mourning period has not expired.
Counting the days he has passed, is his death related to himself?
Xinxin, she, and this cousin, what happened between the three of them? led to a death, a suicide, a sister who refused to forgive herself until she died?
I thought it was just a simple emotional entanglement, but now it doesn't seem to be so simple! All of them are killed, if Gongbo Zhezhe is also dead, it is two lives, why in the end?
Zhezhe scratched his ears and cheeks, but he didn't figure it out.
"She said that she said, who knows the truth of the matter?" Ku Rong spread his hands, they have also investigated for two years, all kinds of gossip, no one can say why, now the person concerned, one is under house arrest, no one can get close to him, torture him, the other is like nothing, surrounded by a line of defense, and he can't get close, and he is Zhezhe, half crazy and half stupid, he can still get close, but he doesn't remember anything!
Speaking of which, he is also very melancholy!
"Why, don't you all know? Are there no rumors, rumors, or whatever? "Zhezhe is very speechless, no, everyone is dead, his cousin, I think it's also a big family, a good son is gone, why is no one gossiping?
"Yes, yes, it's just rumors," Ku Rong blinked and looked at her, "You tell me honestly, are you pretending?" ”
"What?" Zhezhe doesn't understand, what do I have to pretend? I'm so stupid, a clear-eyed person can see through it at a glance, if you hadn't cultivated me these days and helped me cover in front of my uncle and wife, I'm afraid I would have to throw them in the pile of magic sticks every day to save them experience!
"You don't remember anything about the past?" Kurong couldn't believe it.
"What do you remember?" Zhezhe couldn't understand what he wanted to express, and after thinking about it for a while, he finally understood, "Do you think that I am Gongbo Zhezhe, and now I am pretending to be crazy and stupid?" ”
Kurong didn't speak, just stared at her, and Zhezhe was speechless.
"If I were the deity, would I have to pretend to be stupid and make myself unhappy?"
"Is the spell water delicious, or is the black dog's blood delicious? Do you know how uncomfortable it is to be smoked with wormwood today, soaked in ice water tomorrow, and steamed in a steamer the day after tomorrow? ”
"If I really want to die, why don't I just be the original and wait for everyone's vigilance to come down before dying?"
Zhezhe said a lot, and felt very indignant in his heart, "Aren't you a master of cultivation, haven't you seen Zhezhe's soul before, why do you suspect that I am her now?" Can't you pretend? ”
Zhezhe took down the bell on his waist, "I carefully keep these two bells every day, and I also chant sutras and worship the Buddha, hoping that she and I can return to you as soon as possible, if I am her, why bother?" ”
Ku Rong didn't speak, listened to Zhezhe say all the complaints, looked at her expression carefully, very sincere, not half fake, not like pretending at all, half a day, had to give up, sighed.
"That's not what I meant," Ku Rong tried to explain, looking at the bell in her hand, and with a flash of inspiration, he led the whole thing to the other side, "I just opened the eyes of heaven and saw that the soul on your body seems to be the original body, so I lost my mind for a while, and asked you this!" ”
Yes? Is that so?
Zhezhe immediately lowered his head and looked at the bell in his hand, a little uncertain, "Did you just see her soul return?" ”
"It's just a trance, I'm afraid I'm mistaken," Ku Rong thought for a moment, and then said, "I think you did something to make the original soul have a response!" ”
Really? Zhezhe was half incredulous, and excitedly hugged the bell and didn't let go, it was really the emperor who lived up to his heart, and finally had a little reaction. These days, it's really useful to go to the Buddha every night! Especially the thousand-armed Guanyin in this view, today is to worship her, there is the current one, and I will have to worship more in the future!
"Zhezhe, do you really want to go back?" Kurong began to seduce her.
Of course, Zhezhe nodded violently and immediately took the bait.
"I thought about it just now, when I saw the soul of the original body, it was when you mentioned Wei Jin and said that her eldest brother's three-year mourning period had not expired," Ku Rong pretended to frown, "It seems that the original body cares about this person very much!" ”
Really? Zhezhe hugged the bell and stayed for a while, wasn't it because I worshiped the Thousand-Armed Guanyin this afternoon, but because I mentioned the so-called eldest cousin, so that the soul of the original body reacted?
Zhezhe was a little dazed, he did think that the accident with the original body was at the same time as the accident with this big cousin, thinking about what entanglements the two people had, plus Xin Xin's words, it is certain that the three of them have greater entanglements, so it caused the current result.
But what kind of entanglement and entanglement?
Two women and a man, thinking about it, are all bloody love triangles.
Is it because of love? Zhezhe looked at Ku Rong with a question mark on his face, and Ku Rong thought that she was questioning what she had just said, so he nodded hurriedly.
Zhezhe didn't understand it even more!
She was only 13 years old when she crossed over, obedient, her body didn't grow well, her spring heart sprouted, and she could still make such a life and death love, and the last one died, one hated, amazing!
The ancients really had a lot of time, they had nothing to do when they were full, they fell in love at a young age, and they were also involved in life and death, which should be in the 21st century, so they must not be beaten to death by their parents, and scolded by the teachers of the whole school to write a review?
It's really a long experience, Zhezhe nodded and sighed, although she still doesn't understand what kind of entanglement method it is, but the ancients, in the novel, they are all cousins and cousins, childhood sweethearts, and it's normal to have mutual affection. At the moment, they are two cousins, so I guess what's wrong with them!
Since the original body cares about this cousin so much, maybe she also likes this cousin, so when she mentions him, she is a little excited.
It must be like this, this cousin doesn't know, does he like himself, or like Xinxin? Looking at Xinxin's appearance, it seems that I like this cousin very much!
It's so hard to figure out, Zhezhe can't eat the roast chicken, and he frowns and thinks for a while.
"Master, do I have a deep entanglement with this cousin?" Zhezhe couldn't help it, so he came to ask Kurong again.
"I want to ask you this, you have her body, and naturally you also have her memory," Ku Rong knew where he knew, all he knew was some gossip and rumors, and he couldn't take it seriously.
"The point is that I can't remember it now!" Zhezhe pouted, got up, and wanted to go around the room, but after sitting for a long time and eating so much, he was afraid that he would have indigestion after waiting.
Who knows, together, as soon as I turned around, I saw Yin Si standing behind him.
Zhezhe subconsciously covered his mouth, retreated slowly, and finally hid behind Kurong.
When did he come? How long have you been standing there? Did he hear himself?
Yin Si looked at her reaction like this, a little puzzled, looked at her, and then looked at Ku Rong, Ku Rong didn't speak, waved his hand, and looked calm, "Yin Si, don't be like this, you see what you scared the little junior sister into, and you didn't say a word when you came in, is it so rude?" ”
Yin Si was speechless, and when he blinked from Kurong and said that it was all rumors, he came in, but he didn't interrupt them.
Now it seems that this girl is no longer wary of Kurong, and she is still very wary of herself, gagged, with only two big eyes left, squatting behind Kurong, looking at him with a flutter.
For a while, a nameless fire came out of his chest, gritted his teeth, and said word by word: "Master, come out, there are some things you want to ask for!" ”
"Or-" Ku Rong didn't say the two words for a while, so he looked at his nephew's eyes that were about to breathe fire, so he had to be stupid, got up, let Zhezhe rest first, and went out with Yinsi's footsteps.
