Chapter 13: Escape
"Miss, where have you been? Let the good news be easy to find. ”
I pounced on me when I saw it.
"It's just going around blowing the wind, don't you see I'm coming back?" I tugged at the corners of my mouth and laughed weakly.
On the way home from the banquet, I sat in the carriage sullenly and didn't want to talk. Leaning against the car window to rest for a while, the eldest brother was also sulking alone.
"Did the prince bully you? Why don't you tell Big Brother? The eldest brother suppressed his anger.
"I didn't have anything to lose, I just said a few words. I love to cry myself! I whispered perfunctorily to my brother.
In order to avoid my eldest brother asking again, I had to pretend to be asleep. Nothing to the house.
When he came in through the back door, the housekeeper Lin Hai was waiting there. "Miss, young master, the master is waiting for you in the study!"
"Got it, let's go." The eldest brother replied.
"I'm glad to hear that you should go and rest first, it's been a tiring day! Tell the kitchen to boil water for me, I want to take a bath. I turned back to the joy of the news.
"Yes, miss." I went to help me prepare hot water.
I walked to the kitchen with my eldest brother, "Big brother, don't mention the matter at the banquet to my father and mother. I don't want them to worry about getting angry, it's not a big deal! "Although the eldest brother didn't speak, I knew that he also agreed.
When I came to my father's study, the door was not closed. He's practicing big characters. A big forbearance, the pen is like a god, and the action is like flowing water. The handwriting is bold and restrained. The whole feeling is forbearance, not just talking on paper, just making a show.
"You're here?" My father glanced up at us. Then put down the brush and walked to the side of the jujube mahogany basin stand to wash his hands.
"Sit down, pour your own tea!" My father turned his back to us and instructed lightly.
My eldest brother and I looked at each other: "This is something!" ”
The two of us sat down in chairs, and the eldest brother poured three cups of tea.
My father sat down and looked at me with deep meaning: "I called you here today, and you know what you know!" ”
"Father just said that there is no one else today." I decided to talk to them openly and honestly, and if I wasn't drafted better than me, I would give up the idea of running away. After all, the eldest brother in this family really loves me. At least I'm nostalgic for my big brother.
"Eh, the Nine Kings have returned to the court, and you must know it." Father sighed and said solemnly.
Not to mention, we have already seen the Nine Kings today. Big brother and I looked at each other. It was decided not to mention the meeting of the Nine Kings today. But my face turned red inexplicably.
"The emperor has always been very jealous of being a father, but he needs to balance Wang Guogong for his father. Now that the nine kings have returned, the emperor has added another arm. I'm afraid it's not good for us! Now your sister and the Nine Emperor Princes are in danger on the way to the throne. If you can't reign for nine days, you will be sent to eighteen layers of hell! Together with the Prime Minister's Mansion, it will not end well! Wang Guogong's daughter, Concubine Wang, the seventh elder brother who passed under her knees, is already twelve. Although the emperor is not very fond of him, but Wang Guogong is the backing, and he will not be far behind. Now that he is on par with Wang Guogong, as long as Yating adds another boost, then we hope greatly. "My father looked at me with burning eyes, as if as long as I opened my mouth and promised, my sister would be the queen mother tomorrow.
It seems that the prime minister will not agree to my refusal to draft the draft. Looking at the gentle and resolute face of the eldest brother, I knew that I would never be able to see the eldest brother again!
"Father, what can I say? It was up to the father to arrange. "I was so disappointed that I agreed. but the heart is dripping blood.
When my eldest brother and I came out of my father's study, it was already evening. The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the back of the eldest brother standing against the light. It looks warm and distant......
"Big brother, do you remember what you promised me?" I looked back at my eldest brother faintly. The eldest brother didn't react for a while: "What? ”
"Painting, you promised to paint me a painting!" I said with a smile.
"Well, of course I remember, big brother will draw it for you tomorrow!" The eldest brother blinked, as if he didn't understand why he suddenly remembered to draw.
"Don't draw tomorrow, draw it for me today." I looked at my eldest brother pleadingly.
"Hmm, so urgent? Then I'll go to the study and draw it for you in a moment. "Big brother looked into my eyes and couldn't bear to refuse.
"Big brother, I'm going back. It's been a busy day today, and I'm very tired! After speaking, I made a deep blessing ceremony, and I hope that the eldest brother will be blessed in the future.
As soon as I turned around, I couldn't hide the sadness in my heart anymore. Tears are like a kite with a broken string out of control.
When I returned to Tanghai Pavilion, I hurriedly instructed Xiwen to prepare to help me bathe. The clothes on the body are good-looking, but they are also very cumbersome. Take off a coat and put on only a middle coat. Sit on the edge of the bed and wait for the news to call me to bathe.
I had nothing to do, lifted the pillow, and took out the book of Xuanjun Guozhi that I bought before. I looked at the geographical location of the Xuanjun Dynasty. It is bordered by Noldor to the east, to the north to Gagai, to the west by Sanchi, and to the south by Dazha. Hmm, that's a strange name. Xuanjun looks like a big baked cake towards the map. If I'm going to run, I'm going to have to run farther. Can't stay in the Xuanjun Dynasty. But where to go? Pregnant? Look wherever I'm close to go. Kyoto is located in the center of the yakiniku, and the distance is the same! However, there is a sea area to the north and to the top. Xuanhai ...... Haha, this is the sea named after the subordinate country. In that case, run here. Nail cover......
"Miss, the water is ready, let's take a bath!" I walked into the bedroom.
"Well, let's go, let's go to the kitchen and get some meals! I'm so hungry. I'll wash it myself. "I deliberately let her prepare the meal, and I packed up my things and ran away after I finished bathing.
The bedroom is quite close to the bathhouse, and they call the bathroom a bathhouse. Along the way, I occasionally met a few slaves and maids to say hello, and I remembered them one by one. Look at how many slaves and maids there are in this Tanghai Pavilion.
Go to the bathhouse and wash your hair briefly. There are handmade soaps and shampoos on the side. It's all the fragrance of plants. It's a pity that I won't be able to use such a beautiful washing and care series in the future.
After washing, put on the middle coat, put on the outer shirt and go back to the bedroom. Before I came back, I just wrapped a towel around my hair and started to pack my things. These brocade clothes are definitely not necessary, they are all cumbersome. By the way, the silver ticket、I hurriedly opened the bottom of the jewelry box and took out the remaining four hundred and twenty taels of silver tickets。 Where do you put it? It's good inside the middle coat! It's hard to lose it.
I didn't bring anything but a silver ticket. Sit on a dressing sheet and wipe your hair. Usually my hair is taken care of, and it is very difficult to wipe my hair by myself. Be sure to cut this long hair in the future.
"Dangdangdang" door remembered, it must be good news.
"Come in!" I didn't look back. Keep rubbing your hands on this hair. After a while, my hands were sore.
"I'm glad to hear that it's just in time, come and help me wipe my hair. I'm exhausted! Whew~" I gave up the idea of wiping my hair by myself, and handed the towel to the happy news behind me.
Xiwen took the towel, I raised my eyes and looked in the mirror, where is the good news, this is the big brother? My eldest brother gently took a towel to wipe my hair.
"Big brother, why are you, I thought I was happy to deliver food!" I'm a little embarrassed to say.
"Isn't it natural to help my sister wipe her hair! Who called you my sister! The eldest brother stared at my hair without raising his eyes, and wiped it carefully. It was as if he had not wiped his hair in his hands, but a treasure.
"I've painted all the paintings you want, I've already brought them over, and I'll give them to you later." The voice behind said.
"Okay, big brother, hurry up. I can't wait to see it. I urged anxiously. Why don't you have a hair dryer here? I'm in a hurry.
After a while, my hair was half-dry, and I couldn't wait to sit up and look at the painting. The eldest brother reluctantly teased me for being impatient in the back.
At this time, the happy news also came, with a few girls behind him. They all have food in their hands. No wonder it's been so long.
"Happy news, why are there so many?" I asked, surprised, there weren't usually so many.
"Miss, it was ordered by Steward Lin!" Xi Wen frowned and smiled, "It seems that the master specially ordered Steward Lin!" ”
Don't you know how little to eat late? It seems that I am going to eat with my eldest brother today.
"Big brother, have you eaten, let's eat together!" I looked at the table and got worried. What a waste of food! Shame on waste.
"In that case, let's eat some more at your place, and I'll see the painting later!" The eldest brother said helplessly.
I happily sat down to give the big brother a dish, and the eldest brother looked at the bowls in front of him piled up into a small mountain and cried and laughed.
"Big brother, eat quickly, these are all yours." I'm happy to have the last meal with my eldest brother.
The meal was finished with laughter! I couldn't wait to send my eldest brother away, and I was going to run away quickly.
Open the painting of the eldest brother, two young boys and girls, one standing and one sitting, high and low. The man is handsome and shy, and the woman is beautiful and has a stunning expression. At first glance, it looks like a pair of beautiful people.
You can leave nothing with you, you can leave anything behind, but this painting is the only one I want to carry. It hadn't been framed yet, but it had been looped, and the rope was tied up and hidden in the sleeve.
"I like to hear that I can comb my hair, just a simple bun. I'm going to ask my mother for peace. I walked over to the dresser.
"But Miss, it's so late now, and the hair will still be scattered after combing for a while, so it's better to go and ask for peace like this." Xiwen frowned and hesitated.
"I'm glad to hear that you just have to comb your hair, and you can't wear your hair and go into the room." I tried my best to convince this simple little girl.
"Okay, I'll just comb it for Miss with a simple one, and it will be easy to spread out later." A smile reappeared on Xiwen's face.
Just make a simple bun on the top half of your hair and insert some small beads. The hair underneath was spread out and pushed to both sides of the chest.
Under the pretext of going to ask for peace, I just wanted to see the defensive layout of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Although he knew that it was unlikely that he would succeed in escaping from the house, he still wanted to see it.
After all, the goal of escaping outside the house is bigger. When I was about to walk to Zhiyu Garden, I stopped and looked back at the good news behind me. "I'm glad to hear that I'm a little cold, so you can go pick up the cloak and come over." I'll be waiting for you right here. ”
"Then miss, you just wait for me here, I'll go and come back quickly." I like to hear some uneasy advice.
"Well, go ahead, I'll be waiting for you here." With the good news gone, I turned and walked in the direction of the back door.
