Chapter 39: Looking for My Sister

"Yingying, I have chosen an auspicious day to prepare for the canonization of you, and let the five departments work together to prepare for the canonization ceremony for you." The emperor was a little excited, and he could finally make his beloved woman his queen.

"Your Majesty, the concubine wants to postpone the ceremony, my brother is about to hold a wedding, and the concubine wants to go to the end, and then enjoy everything the emperor has prepared for the concubine, is it okay?"

"But I've already passed on the word."

"Please, okay!"

The emperor hesitated for a long time, "Okay, I can't stand your pitiful appearance!" ”

Orange Creek kissed the emperor on the face, "Thank you, dear!" ”

"How can this be enough?" The emperor pulled her into his arms, and the two were entangled.

Wen Xiuxiu sat outside the door of Liuchun Courtyard, paying attention to everyone who came in and out, and in the dead of night, she hid under the eaves to sleep, taking the ground as the bed and the sky as the quilt. In the late autumn night, the cold wind was blowing, and some well-wishers passing by would give some clothes, quilts, and food from time to time, and even so, the silver given by Hongli was quickly used up.

On this day, she hadn't eaten anything for two days, and when she heard the shouting of the hawkers across the street, her stomach growled, and she swallowed mouthfuls of saliva.

"Buy buns! Freshly baked hot buns, stuffed with a lot of skin, delicious and inexpensive......"

She couldn't help it, rushed to the bun stall, grabbed one in one hand and ran, "Stop, you stop for me, damn it called Hanako, it actually stole from me, see if I catch it, don't kill you." The stall owner chased and scolded.

She was already dizzy with hunger, how could she outrun a man, the stall owner quickly caught up with her, he grabbed her hair, pulled back, only to hear the sound of "ah", she fell to the ground.

The stall owner stepped on her hand with his foot, snatched the bun and looked at it, there were several clear black fingerprints on the bun, he threw the bun out fiercely, and punched and kicked her lying on the ground, "I told you to steal, I told you to steal, let me meet you next time, I have to chop your hand, don't get out of here!" ”

Wen Xiuxiu was so frightened that she got up in pain and limped out of the crowd.

Back outside the Liuchun Courtyard, she sat down against the wall with difficulty, leaning against the corner of the wall and closing her eyes to recuperate.

An older girl in Liuchun Courtyard looked at her leaning against the corner, shook her head and returned to Liuchun Courtyard, and after a while, the girl took some food, walked up to her and squatted down, "Hey, wake up, wake up." ”

Wen Xiuxiu opened her eyes in a daze, and when she saw the girl in front of her, she smiled and said nothing, thinking that she was dreaming.

"Come, there is some food here, you fill your stomach first, eight years ago, we did have a girl named Yingying here, but a general ransomed her."

When Wen Xiuxiu heard this, she immediately came to her senses, and grabbed the girl's clothes excitedly, "What happened later?" ”

"Hehe, there is no later! At that time, I just envied her, so I still remember that people like us stay in this Liuchun Courtyard all year round, and we can't see much of the world, and since then, I haven't seen her again, you go to every general's mansion to find it! There's more hope than staying here and waiting. ”

After the girl finished speaking, she got up and prepared to go back to Liuchun Courtyard, Wen Xiuxiu knelt down on the spot, kowtowed and thanked her, "Thank you!" Thank you! ”

In the following days, Wen Xiuxiu was looking for the General's Mansion in the capital, asking one by one, looking for them one by one, and every time he didn't even enter the door, he was blasted out. Even so, she never thought of giving up, because her sister was her only hope and the only pillar that allowed her to live.

If she was not allowed to enter, she would wait, and after waiting outside the door of each general's mansion for three days, she would not believe that anyone would not step out of the door for three days in a row.

In General Heber's mansion, everything is ready, just wait for the auspicious day to arrive, and the two will worship heaven and earth to get married.

Soon, Wen Xiuxiu found General Heber's mansion, she knocked on the door first, and the housekeeper came to open the door, "Where did you come from to ask for food, my general is preparing for marriage, so don't come here to touch the mold." ”

"I'm here to find someone, do you have a woman named Wen Yingying here?" Wen Xiuxiu pushed the door hard to stop the housekeeper from closing the door.

"No, no, get out of here." The butler returned impatiently.

At this time, Heber went to see Hongli, and happened to come back and bumped into him, and the butler saw the general coming back, "Get out of the way, don't get in the way of the general." The butler pushed her aside.

Heber didn't notice her presence, but she recognized Heber at a glance, "It's you!" Such a coincidence. She rushed in front of Heber and blocked Heber's way.

"You are?" Herb didn't recognize her.

"It's okay, General, it's just a matter of asking for food." The butler stepped forward to pull her away, "Don't go yet." ”

Heber was about to enter the mansion, and Wen Xiuxiu said loudly, "Don't you remember? You and another man saved me that day, and kindly sent me into the city. ”

Herb thought for a moment, then turned to look at her carefully, "Oh! It's you! What are you doing here? ”

"I'm here to find my sister!"

"Your sister?" Heber asked, puzzled.

"Yes! The people in Ruchun Temple said that my sister was ransomed by a general eight years ago, so I searched for them one by one, and I happened to find this place today. ”

"What's your sister's name?" Heber had a bad premonition.

"Wen Yingying!"

"Wen Yingying, Yingying, Yingying, eight years ago, it wouldn't have been such a coincidence!" Heber was talking to himself.

"Hey! You're a general, huh? Wen Xiuxiu saw Hebo there in a daze and yelled loudly.

"Huh? Yes, Steward Wu, take her down to freshen up and find a change of clothes! ”

"Yes, General, let's go! Come with me! The butler beckoned Wen Xiuxiu to follow him.

"This ......" Wen Xiuxiu wondered, good things actually fell from the sky.

"You go with him first, and if there's anything, we'll talk about it later." Herb knew she must have a lot to ask. Anyway, he has to find out the truth first, if it is really Yingying's sister, then he has to take care of her for Yingying.

After grooming and dressing, the housekeeper took Wen Xiuxiu to see the general, and the moment Wen Xiuxiu stepped into the door, Heber was stunned, it was too similar. She had been unkempt before, and Heber didn't realize that this woman looked very similar except that she was younger than Yingying.

"Thank you, General, for giving me such a beautiful dress to wear."

"Sit down! Wen Xiuxiu, right? ”

"Yes, the general has a really good memory, he listened to it outside the carriage and remembered it."

The general pointed to the snacks on the table and motioned for her to eat, but she was unceremonious, and began to eat them one by one.

"It's been eight years, if you see your sister again, will you recognize it?"

"Of course, especially the birthmark on her body, I remember it really, my sister was sold because of me, how could I forget what my sister looked like."

Anyway, if they meet one day, won't it be clear? Let's let her stay for now! A girl's house is not safe outside. Heber fiddled with the teacup in his hand, looking at the woman in front of him who was a must, he had always been steady, and he almost laughed.

Even so, Wen Xiuxiu was still able to eat happily.

The wedding posts were also sent out one by one, and Herb did not enter the palace to inform Orange Creek, he felt that it was the best policy not to let her know, and besides, Wanting didn't want to see her, and he didn't want to embarrass Wanting either. In fact, these are secondary, and the most feared thing is that because she came, the emperor was suspicious.

But for such a big thing, how could Orange Creek not know, and how could he not come, and he didn't know that Orange Creek postponed his canonization ceremony because of his marriage.

At three o'clock in the morning, Orange Creek got up from the bed and stretched, "Yu Lan, help me freshen up!" ”

"Niangniang, the emperor went to Changchun Palace again last night, since Niangniang postponed the canonization ceremony, the emperor has not been to Chuxiu Palace, it is really faster than turning a book." Yu Lan waited for Orange Creek to dress, and her mouth kept complaining.

"Yu Lan, don't talk nonsense, be careful of being listened to by the emperor, and treat you for a big crime of disrespect."

"Niangniang, I'm holding grievances for you, Niangniang, you are too, you can't say a few good words, as long as you are willing to speak, the emperor is allowed to come to Chuxiu Palace, and he is reluctant to leave."

Orange Creek ignored her, walked over to the dresser, and motioned for Yu Lan to comb her hair.

Who doesn't say good things, she needs to rely on the grace of coaxing and deception, she is not rare, she just wants the emperor to know that she treats her with sincerity, and hopes that he can also return it with sincerity, as for how he treats others, she can't care.

"Okay, Niangniang, let's eat first!"

"No, just got up, there is no taste in your mouth, go to Jingyang Palace to visit the door!"

"Yes, Niangniang, I will order someone to prepare the couch." Before going out, Yu Lan didn't forget to prepare a cloak for Orange Creek, "Niangniang, put on a cloak!" Winter is coming soon, and the weather is cool and windy, so be careful of getting cold. ”

Hearing that the eunuch came in to report, and learned that Concubine Tong had come to see her concubine, she happily ran out of the house to greet her, "Concubine Tong has seen Sister Tong." Concubine Yu took Orange Creek's hand and welcomed her into the house.

"Sister, how do you have time to come to Jingyang Palace? Every day in the house, and I can't find anything to do, I'm getting moldy. The emperor rarely comes, and the other sisters treat me as a child, and they don't want to say more to me, I'm extremely bored! It seems that the little concubine is really stuffy, and as soon as she sees Orange Creek, the chatterbox opens, like a surging river.

"It seems that our little concubine is stuffy!" Orange Creek interrupted her.

"Uh-huh!" Concubine Yu nodded vigorously.

"Let's go, my sister will go out with you."

"Good! All right! Concubine Yu almost jumped up with joy, but the rules in her bones made her suppress the rude she shouldn't have.

Walking to the open area of the Imperial Garden, Orange Stream asked Yu Lan to take out her homemade shuttlecock and skipping rope.

"Sister Yu Concubine, can you kick the shuttlecock and skip rope?" On weekdays, when Orange Creek is fine, when he is fine, he will take these and the maids for a pastime.

Concubine Yu shook her head, on weekdays, Eniang only let her watch it, and didn't let her learn, saying that this kind of thing of dancing with teeth and claws was unseemly and lost her noble identity.

Orange Creek put his foot on it and began to kick, "I didn't know how to do it before, and I didn't like this kind of boring thing, but now I think it's not bad, I can keep fit and pass the time." ”

Yu Lan, who was next to her, was very puzzled, Niangniang usually goes alone, but today she took the initiative to find Yu Concubine.
