Chapter 6: Past and Present Lives
"Me?" I was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly, "Although I was born into a famous family, I was humiliated, but even so, why does God still force me so hard and refuse to let me live?" Wouldn't it be nice for me to live in peace and quiet? ”
Master's eyes flickered, as if there was an unknown emotion rippling at the bottom of his eyes, like a bottomless pool, hiding all his emotions at the bottom of the pool, and no one could peep into it.
"I'm not Dong E Wanjin at all, why do you want me to replace her." I'm a little lacking in confidence. After all, it was in the face of a person who saved me when I was most helpless and raised me for eight years, and who was my master, a person I seriously recognized and worshipped.
Suddenly, as if I had suddenly remembered something, a bold idea appeared in my mind. Without thinking, I blurted out, "What if, I'm not willing to change this history now?" What will you do with me? ”
"Wanwan, do you know what happened to the mantis arm as a car?" Master was slightly surprised, the corners of his lips were slightly raised, and his long eyelashes were like butterflies fluttering with wings, but the eyes under the eyelashes were bright and sharp, "Moreover, you won't do this." ”
"The human heart is the hardest thing in the world to guess, isn't it, Master?" Not to be outdone, I laughed, but I wasn't afraid of anything anymore. "If I insist on obeying history and living a chaotic life, wouldn't it be good? Anyway, it's all a death, and if you die, you don't care about everything. However, you don't have someone to help you with a strange task. ”
What life, what marriage pavilion, what "Marriage Continuation", what Concubine Dong E, died early and drank Meng Po soup to be reincarnated, everything will be forgotten, those things are just a small episode in my short life.
"With your character, it won't." She was stunned for a moment, and there was a flash of light in her eyes. Then she came back to her senses, not caring about my threat at all, and calmly, "Are you willing to live so weakly and without dignity, and be bullied every day?" The Dong Wanjin I know is not like this. ”
"That's probably because Master thinks highly of me." I replied unceremoniously. This is a very rare time when I have talked back to Master, and if I had to change to usual, I would have been punished to kneel a long time ago. But this time, I wasn't afraid, or rather, I was out of the way. It's like facing an unknown fate and making the last dying struggle.
"Wanwan, you've probably never seen yourself clearly." She sighed and shook her head as if pity, "If you want to be obedient, you won't be so restless after coming to the Qing Dynasty." Be the eldest lady of Dong E's family, enter the palace as a concubine, and then accept the arrangement of history, be the favorite concubine of Emperor Shunzhi, one of the most noble women in the harem of the Qing Dynasty, birth, old age, sickness and death are left to fate, isn't it good? But what? Isn't the Miaoshou Doctor Immortal, the Miaochuntang in Jiangnan, and your apprentice named Yao Xianxian, and the Western medical skills you brought to the later generations, the best proof of your unwillingness to obey? Wanwan, you don't have to make a fool of yourself anymore. ”
I was dumbfounded.
Wonderful hand medicine immortal, Miao Chuntang, Yao Xianxian, and those later generations of medical skills······ It turned out that she knew it all. Everything here is clear to her. It's like a pair of invisible eyes watching me all the time. This means that my every move is within her calculations. But even so, she still chose to leave me alone to face a strange era.
The heart seems to have sunk, sinking into a bottomless abyss. If there was still a trace of self-deception in the past, now it has disappeared. What am I to her? Apprentice? Stranger? Or ····· A piece on a chessboard?
"Okay, I'm just going to give you something today." Marriage didn't care about my shock at all, smiled easily, flipped over her jade hand, and saw a light green light flashing slightly, and a guqin had appeared in her hand.
I was stunned, this guqin seems familiar. But Master's next sentence made me feel like I was in an ice cellar.
"Do you remember "Marriage Continuation"?"
"Marriage Continuation".
A term that is not unfamiliar, even unforgettable.
The "culprit" who crossed me over to the Qing Dynasty.
"This piano, whose real name is 'Acacia', is a seven-string guqin," the marriage seemed to be a little reluctant, staring at it with eyes like water, full of infinite emotions, "If you want to see me, just play "Marriage Continuation". It's just—"
"Just what?" My fingers were cold, and I slowly took the piano and looked at it carefully. I haven't seen it in a few years, but it really hasn't changed. It's really worthy of being a "person who is not a human being", and it is really magical, only to see that on each string, there seems to be a bright green light circulating, lingering for a long time.
"Every time you play it, one of the strings of this piano breaks." Marriage pursed her lips slightly, and pulled the corners of her mouth helplessly, "In other words, you only have seven chances." Seven times later, the harp was discarded. It's a pity that I have this piano. ”
I didn't pay attention to her last words, just slightly surprised. Seven chances, seven ······ How long will I stay here?
Years? Decades? Or······ Lifetime.
How long is life? Or is it the moment when you flick your fingers, or is it the wilderness?
Floating life is like a big dream, and the world is a few springs and autumns.
"Little master? Little Master ······" Suddenly, there was an inaudible call in my ears. I looked around in amazement, and the furnishings in the room were the same as what I had seen during the day, unchanged. There was no one else but Master.
Where did that sound come from? I always feel ······ Inexplicably familiar.
"Okay, I'm going to stay longer." Marriage smiled, and the light green light immediately lingered around her, like the shallow and faint clouds of the Marriage Pavilion, which was so unreal.
There was a bit of a trance in my heart. It seems that she is still the "fairy" in the marriage pavilion who does not eat the fireworks of the world, with an indifference far from the world, and a gentle and quiet that will not change no matter how the years pass; But I'm no longer the "fairy's" favorite little apprentice.
"Master!" I dug my fingers into the flesh, trying to force myself to come back to my senses, and hurriedly stopped her, and asked the question I wanted to ask the most:
"Do I still have a chance to go back?!"
The marriage seemed to be stunned for a few seconds, and suddenly, she took a few steps forward, and a faint fragrance came to her face. Her hand was raised. I subconsciously tried to dodge, but the hand stopped at the top of my head.
She laughed self-deprecatingly.
This situation is very similar to when I first entered the Marriage Pavilion, when I first saw the master, the master was also like this, petting my head and saying to me, "Dong Wanjin, it's really a good name." ”
······
It's really a matter of people.
"Don't worry, Master won't let you stay for too long······"
It seems that the extremely low murmur floating from the sky, like dandelions flying in the wind, is scattered in the air at the moment of leaving, and I don't know where it went.
Gone.
It's as if it never happened, everything is so real, so real that it's a little unreal.
She's been here.
"Don't!"
"Little Lord! Little Lord! Suddenly, a call rang in my ears. I sat up abruptly from the bed and turned my head away.
······ Who is it? Who's calling me? I ······ And where·····
"What's wrong with the little master?" Picture screen called worriedly, "Master, is it a nightmare? ”
She ······ Let's go? I muttered under my breath, not answering.
"Who is the master talking about?" The picture screen was a little strange, she looked around, and said with some uncertainty, "The slave and maid are guarding outside, and I don't see anyone entering or leaving the master's room." ”
It was as if there was an invisible hand that forcibly pulled my consciousness back. I woke up instantly.
I didn't go back, it was still the Qing Dynasty, and it was still a palace.
In the end, it's still a bizarre thing, if you say it, I'm afraid that you will be regarded as a madman if you don't treat it as a demon girl. I smiled bitterly, and sure enough, I could only take one step at a time.
"What time is it?" I asked with a forced smile and calmly. I accidentally saw what seemed to be a long thing on the desk. When you look closely, there seems to be a faint layer of pale green light pouring out, but it flashes away. I smiled wryly and looked out the window at the sky, which was just dawning. The whole palace is enveloped in tranquility,* and solemnity.
It would be nice if it could go on forever.
"Back to the little master, when you are ugly." The painting screen didn't seem to notice the inexplicable extra guqin, and replied respectfully.
"Well, you go down first." I waved weakly and motioned for her to stand down.
"Yes, the slave and maid are gone." She took a few steps back, turned and quietly left.
The moment she left, something cold seemed to slip down my cheeks, and I was stunned and raised my hand to wipe it, but it was wet.
She's been here.
