The time in the dream flies quickly, half a month has passed in a flash, the eldest brother is going to return to the government after the New Year at home, the bandit matter is not over, the boss in the cottage has run away from prison, and the eldest brother is about to go back to arrest him.

My second sister and I got up early to see him off.

Although I often quarrel with him these days, I am still very reluctant to let him go.

In order to comfort us, the eldest brother spoke a little openly, "What's so sad about this, I will definitely come back on the day my second sister gets married." ”

The second sister who said these words blushed, and I saw that Lu Qing, who had always been cold, also blushed her ears.

Alas, the second sister's face is really thin.

Alas, there are lovers who eventually become married, what is this shyness.

I never looked back, and naturally I couldn't see Chu Shiyu's burning gaze when he heard this.

"Big brother." The second sister called him in a whisper, as if arguing.

Unfortunately, this is also a silent argument.

In the past half a month, Lu Qing has been living in our house, he has read a lot of books, and he also has martial arts, he can not only fight poetry with his second sister Yuexia, but also learn martial arts with his eldest brother.

I originally thought that the affection of the ancients would be very subtle, just like in the articles I had read before, I would rather be silent and silently guarded than dare to speak rashly.

But now that I see the eyebrow flirtation between the two, I seem to feel ...... The book is too subtle.

Lu Qing gave the ancestral jade flute to the second sister, I don't know the rest of the words, it was the second sister who told me.

It was a day after Lu Qing left, and she came to my yard in the dark.

I don't like to be served by people, so I don't have a maid waiting around, but occasionally I need someone to help carry the water when I bathe, otherwise I won't sleep all night on my own.

"Did my little sister sleep?"

I heard the voice of the second sister and hurriedly replied, "Not yet." ”

Then I sat up from the bed in the dark, got out of bed and groped for the oil lamp, picked up the fire next to me and lit it.

The second sister pushed open my door, and I saw that her eyes were a little red, and she asked eagerly, "Sister, is this being bullied?" ”

The second sister shook her head and smiled, but her red eyes made her smile a little pitiful, "No." ”

I took her hand and lay down on the bed, the temperature after the year was bitterly cold, not to mention that the second sister only wore a light coat, and she didn't even wear a fox fur.

"Sister."

The second sister said, "Little sister, I want to come and talk to you." ”

I nodded, the quilt was still warm, there were a lot of warm stones in it, it was not cold yet, I wrapped her tightly with the quilt.

"Sister, you say."

She and I lay on the same bed, talking to each other's hearts.

It reminds me of sleeping with my girlfriends, as if they always had a lot of topics to talk about.

She suddenly spoke: "I don't like my life at all. ”

I hugged the quilt and was a little puzzled, "Huh? Sister, what does this mean? ”

She always gently accepted the hurt of the outside world, and she confided in her heart tonight.

Through the quilt, her voice was muffled, "Young chivalrous heroes are determined in all directions, and they should not be trapped in the love of their children." ”

I know that the young chivalrous warrior in her mouth is talking about Lu Qing.

During the day, when she said goodbye to Lu Qing, her eyes were calm, and she only showed a little reluctance, and now it seems that she just hopes that he can leave with confidence.

Alas, my second sister, why are you so stupid.

I thought about it for a moment and said, "If my sister is reluctant, you should tell him, whether he will stay or not, you should tell him your heart." ”

The night was so thick that I couldn't see the appearance of the second sister clearly, so I could only guess that she should be red-faced.

The second sister has always been thin-skinned, so don't tease her next time.

"How could a woman say something so explicit." She said hurriedly.

I felt helpless that the ancient books of poetry imprisoned the woman's mind and did not argue with her.

I asked her, "When did the second sister like Lu Qing?" ”

Could it be that because of his life-saving grace, he has to make a personal promise?

Lu Qing is good-looking, but my mother also told me before that when looking for a husband, you can't just look for good-looking people, some good-looking people are liars and specialize in cheating money.

So she still doesn't believe in love.

The night was quiet, and I heard the second sister's firm and serious tone, "He saved me from danger that day, and this heart of mine is his." Whatever he chooses, I'll be here for him. ”

"But what if he doesn't come back?"

The second sister was silent for a long time, so long that I thought she would not answer the question, she said, "If he doesn't come back, I won't blame him." ”

Then he smiled with relief, "Little sister, if you meet your crush one day, you must tell the second sister." ”

I replied briskly, "I'm not married." ”

"Nonsense." She whispered to me, "How can a woman not marry?" ”

I was not convinced, "Men can not marry, why can't women not marry?" ”

I really want to tell her that in our time, women can also hold up a piece of the sky, and they can live a chic and wanton life without being dependent on men.

But I think I'll be lectured by her when I open my mouth, so forget it, I'd better shut up.

"Ahh She seemed to be helpless with me, and pushed my forehead with her hand, the arc was very light, and then I didn't know what to say, just let me sleep, and talk about it tomorrow.

I flattered her arm, my mother died of a cold shortly after giving birth to me, the second sister is seven years older than me, she has taken me since I was a child, and I am inexplicably dependent on her.

Even in my dreams, I have a dependence on her.

My dad is a corrupt official, but he is not greedy for the people, only greedy for the silver taels issued by the court, Emperor Yuan is mediocre, and often sprinkles silver like water, but he is extremely fond of Concubine Yi, and likes to tour the south, and often takes her everywhere to have fun.

It is precisely because of my father's greed that our family background is also very strong, and my own small treasury alone has more than a dozen silver tickets with large denominations.

On the second day, the maid Songzhi came to my room and told me that the master had returned.

That's when I remembered that I was going to meet my corrupt father today.

As soon as I entered the front hall, a smiling voice came towards me, "Oh my little girl, come and see Daddy." ”

I looked up, and a little old man in the front hall walked towards me, looking quite thoughtful, but more like the image of a corrupt official in the TV series, not too tall, about the same as me.

I saw the second sister shouting "Daddy", and she also shouted.

I don't have much impression of this little old man, but he is like a daughter slave, and as soon as we meet, he puts a few silver tickets in my hand, which makes me smile.

The little old man also seemed to know my preferences, and every time he said a word to me, he would stuff a silver ticket into my hand, asking me if my life was good or not, and whether anyone was angry with me.

The money is soft, and I answer more seriously.

Life is happy.

No one made me angry.

I am very happy to stay with my second sister every day.

Then I heard the little old man's slightly regretful voice, "Daddy shouldn't have left your sisters in the house. ”

I didn't know how to answer, so I looked at my second sister for help, and she answered on my behalf, "Everything is fine in the house, Daddy don't worry." ”

"That's it, that's good." The little old man patted his leg and said, and suddenly he said again, "Did you come back a few days ago?" ”

The second sister replied: "Yes, I left on the sixth day of the new year." ”

I sat obediently and listened to them, holding the heavy silver ticket in my hand, and my heart blossomed.

It's so good, I can take Chu Shiyu to eat all over the world again.

Then I heard him ask again, "I heard someone say that Li'er has a crush." ”

The second sister's eyes flashed with panic, but she didn't deny it, "Yes." ”

"Who is in his family?"

"He is from the Lu family in Qingzhou, his ancestors have been a dart game for generations, and there is no one in the family, and he is twenty this year."

I saw the little old man raise his eyebrows, more like a joke, "My father only asked one question, how did Li'er answer four." ”

Sure enough, the second sister's face turned red again, with annoyance, "Daddy." ”

"Okay, okay, I'm not going to tease you." The little old man waved his hand, very open-minded, "Since you have him in your heart, your father will naturally support you." ”

I sat and waited to eat the melon, but I didn't want his eyes to turn to me, as loving as ever...... and gossip.

"Then when will Tang'er marry Yu Xiaozi?"

Me: What?

The amount of information in these words was so great that I was so frightened that I dropped one of the silver tickets in my hand.

Just as I was about to answer, I caught a glimpse of a piece of black outside, turned my head and found that the scene here was gradually blurring, and the next moment, I slowly opened my eyes.

The curtain is exactly the same as before bedtime.

Jinyue saw that I was awake, and hurriedly walked over with a washbasin, as if relieved.

I asked her, "What time is it?" ”

"It's time for you, mother." She had already lifted the curtain of my bed as she spoke, and I could see the scene outside, as the sun was setting, and a warm orange glow was rising over the sea level.

I love watching the sunset and the sunset.

I wore a coat casually, Jinyue took a white fox fur and put it on me, and put a soup woman in my arms, so I went to the plywood.

I stood in the wind, almost greedily enjoying the afterglow of the sunset.

It's a pity that after a while, I felt that I didn't really see this place, so I moved to the right, and I almost bumped into someone while watching the sunset.

Jin Yue knelt down in a panic behind her, "Slaves and maids see the emperor." ”

Only then did I notice that the emperor was still wearing a black brocade robe, and he didn't even have a cloak on his body.

I was stupefied in my heart, but I still saluted him, "The concubine sees the emperor." ”

He didn't wait for him to shout and stand up, seeing that his eyes were on the setting sun, how could he have time to punish me?

I don't care if Jinyue thinks I'm dying, anyway, I stand up straight in a big way.

In this way, the story of me watching the sunset with the emperor soon spread all over the ship, and Chunxi told me what I had heard outside, and I was eating fried chestnuts with sugar from Concubine Qing's sister cross-legged at that time.

The chestnuts are coated with a layer of white icing, which is sweet and greasy.

But I like the sweet and greasy taste, and I listen to it as if it wasn't me.

Chunxi and Jinyue both seemed very happy, and felt that I was favored and hopeful.

Alas, I can't bear to tell the two little girls that your mother doesn't plan to compete for favor anymore.

On the second day, when I went to talk to Sister Rong, she took my hand and looked at me with a gentle face, and I had goosebumps in those eyes, but she still smiled at her.

She said to me: "My sister has been in the palace for almost half a year, and she must protect herself well in the harem, so as not to be used by someone with a heart." ”

I was a little surprised that she told me this, I thought she was here to persuade me to serve the emperor well, but it turned out to be not.

"The concubine knows." I replied with a low brow.

When we arrived at Nanyang City, the emperor placed us all in the Lishan Garden of the Imperial Palace.

I was curious about everything, but when I stepped through the door, my heart throbbed, and my hands in my sleeves trembled.

I covered up my anomaly and entered the palace like them, and when I got inside, I realized where the throbbing had just come from.

Over here...... It turned out to be exactly the same as the Shanzhou Lu Mansion in the dream.

Concubine Rong placed a few others, and when she turned back to me, my eyes were always on a large tree in the courtyard, with a thick trunk and bare leaves without leaves.

"Maggie?" She called out to me.

I just realized that I had fallen behind, and hurriedly followed her, "Niangniang, the concubine is rude." ”

She smiled and said it was okay, and pointed to one of the courtyards, "How about you live over there?" ”

The direction of her finger was the room I had dreamed of, and suddenly, I felt myself nodding dumbly.

After she gave some more orders, she let us all disperse.

Jinyue and Chunxi and the other attendants took my luggage and went to settle in, and I wandered around with a puzzled mind, the decoration of the place was the same as in my dreams, and I couldn't help but wonder if I had fallen into a dream.

The familiar courtyard, the familiar corridor, after entering the room, I was even more shocked, the furnishings here turned out to be the same as the one I lived in my dream, except for the unknown tree with the same thick trunk outside the courtyard, without leaves, I couldn't tell what kind of tree it was.

Walking out of the familiar yard, I walked to the backyard again, where a more familiar person was already standing, and she turned around and saw me, and greeted me quite happily.

Well...... She seems to be a concubine.

Concubine Li and the original owner did not have a holiday, she was not favored, and the rudeness of the original owner naturally did not fall on her, but the original owner was arrogant and looked down on the people in the harem.

I'm different, easy-going and easy to talk, and I've accumulated some good popularity for myself during this time.

I walked over to her and asked, "What are you looking at?" ”

She pointed to a small river and said, "The koi are so beautiful here." ”

I looked at it, but I really couldn't appreciate it, I always thought it was a colorful goldfish, but I wouldn't refute people's preferences, and I followed her and said, "Yes, this koi is so beautiful." ”

I've never seen one of them, though.

She was really coaxing, and after praising her for her good vision and beauty, she made a heart to me.

From her mouth, I know that she loves to read history and is a typical cultural person. In our words there, it is a real top student.

She said that others think that women are useless in reading, this is nonsense, since ancient times, women have been virtuous and obedient, and learning the words of the text is not better than men, she prefers to make some achievements in historiography.

But her father felt that it was useless for a woman to study more, and after his daughter argued with him many times, he sent her to the emperor's harem in a fit of anger to see where her literature was rolled.

I'm really helpless with this old-fashioned old man.

Sure enough, parents who didn't know how to be flexible in ancient times were a drag on their children.

Concubine Li listened to my words but just smiled indifferently, "I look down on it, I have been in the palace for two years, and the emperor has never looked at me, thinking that this beautiful situation is going to be buried in this palace." ”

She was supposed to be a female historian with a bright future, but because of her father's tyranny and arrogance, she was buried in the harem.

I think things are so impermanent.
