Chapter 4 The Courtyard Depths 3

The Lantern Festival is quietly coming, and Yinxiang should come to the house to pick me up.

Along the way, neither of us spoke, just walked side by side. It can be seen that his mind is not above the Lantern Festival.

After walking for a long time, I couldn't help but ask him, "Yinxiang, where are we going?" ”

"I'm going to take you to a special place today." Only then did he regain his former gentleness and smile warmly at me.

I followed him all the way, and we stopped at the gate of a unique garden, and he gently came up and knocked on the door. The man who came to open the door was a man in his fifties, dressed in a simple robe, but exceptionally neat.

"This is the fourth brother's courtyard, which is quieter than the Drunken Immortal Building." He turned around and led me in.

The fourth elder brother's courtyard, although it is not big, is full of thoughts.

Neat bamboo, scattered rockeries, small nine-curved bridges...... The most rare thing is that there is even a flower garden......

The elder took the two of us to the flower hall, and I saw that the fourth elder brother, the twelfth elder brother, and the fourteenth elder brother were waiting there early.

I was slightly blessed, and I was about to salute and say hello, but I was stopped by the fourth elder brother. "Excuse me...... Today's banquet is specially for you, so don't be too polite. ”

I looked at Yinxiang in surprise, and he nodded slightly to me, signaling me not to be too reserved.

I hurriedly returned, "Fourth Master Xie! ”

Although I sat at the last table, I probably felt that today's feast was indeed for me. The food is placed close to me, and the dishes should be what I usually like to eat, and even the drink is my daughter Hong, who I am used to drinking with Yinxiang.

During the banquet, everyone only talked about Fengyue poetry, and did not talk about anything else.

Unconsciously, I was in a bit of a trance, it should be the effect of wine, I was dizzy.

Thinking of going outside to breathe, he slipped out alone.

"Drink some hot water, it's good for sobering." The fourteenth elder brother didn't know when it came out and handed me a cup of hot water.

With the strength of the wine, I didn't hide it, and took a sip, "Thank you, drink some water, it's really better." ”

"Thank you, you don't have to." He seems to have regained the Yinzhen I knew in the past, and his unruly momentum ran out again. "Say goodbye today, I wonder if I want you to take care of it more in the future!"

"Fourteenth Master, you can make fun of me." I said with a smile.

"It's all said, don't call me the fourteenth master when no one is in the future." He suddenly furrowed his eyebrows, and he was a little displeased.

I hurriedly smiled, "You have the final say." "I wonder how many easy days are left?!

"Yingying...... Can you sing me a song? He slowly sat down beside me, leaning against the pillar of the stone corridor next to me, "Just give me a birthday present, okay?" "Even though I was asked for my opinion, it sounded more like a request.

I suddenly remembered that Yinzhen was born in the first month, and I did forget to give him a gift, so I sang softly, "It's as clear as a cloud, and I still think that heaven's will can be fulfilled." In this life, we will be in debt, and I wish to never see each other again in the future......"[note 1]

The moment I looked up, I saw the glint of water in his eyes, "Yingying, your heart ...... Is there really no shadow of me? ”

I hung my head silently, no longer speaking, and not daring to look him in the eye. It wasn't until this moment that I really understood why Xu Zhengyao always didn't dare to look at me and always quietly turned his head away...... Perhaps, once there is one person in a person's heart, there is no way to let go of other people. Three hundred years later, I used to be the only one in my heart, Xu Zhengyao, but now...... Do I really only like Yinxiang alone?!

"It's not early, I'll send Ying'er back." Just as my thoughts were in a mess, Yinxiang suddenly appeared.

As if I had grasped a life-saving straw, I staggered over to him and grabbed his hand. He seemed to understand what I meant, and turned back to Yinzhen and said, "Brother Lao Fourteenth told the fourth brother that Yinxiang thanked him today." Then he helped me out of the garden without looking back.

He had his carriage ready and waiting at the door.

I got into the car calmly, and when I sat down, he said in a deep voice, "Do you know why you want to invite the fourth brother to be the east and set up a banquet for you today?!" ”

I shook my head and waited for him to give me an answer.

"Huang Ama has assigned you to teach Aunt Xi, what does this mean, do you know?!" He asked again.

I still didn't know why, so I just kept shaking my head.

He let out a long sigh, "For a long time, only the little master selected in the draft will be assigned by the Ministry of Internal Affairs to teach Aunt Xi to the house to teach the etiquette, rules, and ...... in the palace."

He didn't say the last sentence, but looking at his slightly red cheeks, I also knew that Aunt Jiao Xi also had to teach the young masters who were to enter the palace how to serve the king, which naturally included the secret art of the boudoir. When he said this today, I finally understood why Ama Eniang's eyes were full of tears that day, and why Yinzhen wanted to say that it would be difficult for him to take care of him in the future...... These things were connected, and I instantly blew a big hole in my brain, and I couldn't think normally anymore.

"Don't be too anxious, if you have me, the fourth brother I ask today will hold a banquet, just so that he can get to know you, and if you have anything in the palace in the future, it will be appeased by Concubine De Niangniang and the twelfth brother." He suddenly took me in his arms, his chin gently rested on my head, and his warm breath brushed my face one by one, and I gradually became more relieved, and my body was no longer as stiff as before. I reached out and put my hand over his hand and shook it hard.

"Don't worry, my fourteenth brother and I will find a way to make you famous from the list of young masters to be selected, and strive to be a tea palace maid or something......," he reassured me again.

I nodded slightly, there are always a thousand words at this moment, but they are more firm and reliable than the warmth that comes from snuggling up to each other.

PS: Actually, in the end, my favorite part of writing is the clip of Yinxiang and Shao Ying together, but I can't write like this.

Always add a mess of seven, seven, eight, eight.

In the past two days, I have been busy watching TV series, and I am also drunk, and the big south is so cold that I am cold, and my cold little finger has caused my coding efficiency to become more and more underground.

No, it's a holiday tomorrow, and I'm going crazy.

More and more, I feel that seven days is an impossible task.
