I finished reading the first volume of "Strange Tales from Liaozhai", and I made an appointment with Thirteen to go to his yard at four o'clock in the afternoon to exchange books. Thirteen searched for a few English books in the hands of Lord Yang, and he didn't understand some words, so he asked me if I knew them. I sighed and said, "If only there was a dictionary." Thirteen didn't understand and asked, "Dictionary?" "I forgot, when we were children, we used Chinese dictionaries, and when we were children, we used the Ming Dynasty "Zihui" and "Zhengzitong", which I saw in Xiaohai's study.

I explained: "If you can translate the foreign language into Chinese and compile it into a book, when you have a foreign language you don't know, you can open the book and look it up. Thirteen pondered for a moment, the smile on his lips deepened, and said, "That's a good idea. After a pause, he said: "Outsiders say that the Fourteenth Fujin is the best at cooking, but they don't know that you are also very wise in reading. ”

He pushed open the window, let the blood-like sunset reflect on the high bookshelves, the wind passed, blowing up the dust on the paper, scattered in the light, circle by circle, as if enclosing time, encircled in a small and cramped space, encircled in the long river of history, little by little tranquility and solemnity.

Looking out the window at the setting sun, I said, "Somehow, my heart is always very quiet with you. Thirteen stood behind me and said in a soft voice, "As long as you like, you are always welcome here." I wanted to turn around, but my round belly accidentally hit him on the arm, and I instinctively let out an "ahhh

Thirteen panicked, grabbed me, and asked urgently, "What's wrong?" Where does it hurt? I twisted my brows and said with a painful face, "I'm just afraid... I'm just afraid..."Thirteen's face suddenly changed, his mind was blank, he bent his knees and knelt on the ground, and said, "I'll carry you to the room, and then go to Xuan Taiyi..."

I said, "I'm afraid it's not good... Gossip..."

Half a sound did not move, he turned his head and shouted: "Come up, people's lives are at stake, how can you care about the rumors?" "Seeing him nervous like this, I used to tease his heart, but it became so boring. A palace man rushed through the door and rushed up. I hurriedly said, "It's okay, it's okay, you all go out." The palace people were suspicious, and Qi Qi looked at Thirteen and waited for orders.

Thirteen's eyes were full of me and he asked, "Are you okay?" ”

I sincerely repented and said, "I'm sorry, I just wanted to make a joke. "But your reaction was too great, and I couldn't make any more jokes. Thirteen was stunned, straightened up, patted the dust on his body indifferently, and smiled at me: "It's okay." ”

He was the most elegant and personable man I had ever seen in the Qing Dynasty.

It was getting late, and Thirteen was not at ease, so he sent me straight to the gate of the fourteenth courtyard. He handed the second volume of "Strange Tales from Liaozhai" to Minqiu and put it away, and said to me: "The "dictionary" you said, I will discuss it with John tomorrow. "I think Thirteen is a little bit of a modern person's open-mindedness and unrestrainedness, otherwise he wouldn't have taken a woman in his eyes.

This is the Qing Dynasty where "a woman is virtuous if she is not talented"!

I laughed back, "Well, I'm idle anyway, if there's anything I can do to help, just ask." After a pause, he smiled again: "But when the time comes, you will have to pay me every day, and I will not work in vain." "After Kangxi's death, the fourteenth will be imprisoned, and the money can be saved a little. Thirteen thought I was joking, and laughed a few times with his back before saying, "You are really interesting, don't worry, you will be paid a lot." I happily said, "A word is a certainty." ”

entered the west courtyard, and before entering the house, I bumped into Zhang Fangfang with her hands in front of her, standing at the bottom of the stairs with an anxious face.

I knew that Fourteen was in a bad mood, and Xu was angry somewhere, and he didn't want to provoke him, so he walked lightly into the house. There is no flower hall, no study, no restaurant, dare to hide in the dormitory? But there is no dormitory! I was wondering, but Fourteen suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and at this time it was already dark, and there were palace people in the house holding the lamp.

Fourteen seemed to smile and asked, "Did you go to Old Thirteen to borrow books again?" ”

I asked, "How do you know?" The palace people lit the lamp, and the room was bright, and Fourteen waved them down. He said, "I see you are smiling so well." "Hey, sour, could it be that he's jealous? I hurriedly said, "The Thirteenth Master said that he wanted to compile a dictionary that translated foreign into Chinese, and asked me to help." When I told him to pay him daily, he laughed. ”

Fourteen was displeased and said, "Are you very short of money?" ”

I can't say that you will be banned by the fourth master in the future, save more money and live more, right? He said, "It's better than nothing." I was a little happy and jumped a little up, stood up in front of him and looked up and said, "You won't be... Eat the vinegar of the thirteenth master, right? "Fourteen stared down at me, and there was not the slightest change in his face, yes, I am sure, there was no change.

He said coldly: "I'm full, I'm jealous." ”

I was a little lost, he always gave me hope and kept pouring it out.

He added: "In the future, I will have less contact with the old thirteen." I sat on the kang, took off the hairpin flowers on my head angrily, threw them on the kang, and said, "You don't care who I interact with, anyway, you are not jealous." Fourteen's tone was not good, and he said: "It's one thing for me to be jealous or not, it's another thing for you to have too close relationships with other men. This is the Imperial Palace, not the streets and alleys outside, and anything as big as a sesame bean can hurt your life. ”

I snorted coldly and said, "What? What do you suspect I have with the Thirteenth Master? ”

Fourteen didn't speak, I took him as a default, and became more and more angry, picked up the pillow on the kang and threw it at him, and said, "Death Fourteen, do you dare to doubt me?" You... You have no conscience! "He is strong in martial arts, he can obviously catch it, but he didn't make a move, let the pillow fall on his body, and suffered this blow. The silence was like a dead grave, and the palace people were so frightened that they were half dead when they heard the movement, and even Zhang Fangfang and Minqiu did not dare to enter the house to persuade them. After half an hour, Fourteen said in a low voice: "I'll go back to the South Courtyard, you dissipate your anger first, and we'll talk about it tomorrow." I only gave him one word: "Get out." ”

The words fell, and tears welled up.

Back in the South Courtyard, Fourteen didn't feel uncomfortable. After reading the book for a while, he shouted in a trance: "Weiwei, bring me a bowl of tea..." He was stunned for a while, and then he realized that he was not in the West Courtyard. Later, he had a supper, with wine and meat, all of which were exquisite, and he had eaten them for more than ten years. Today, it's like chewing wax, and the right and left are not the right appetite. After eating two mouthfuls of rice wine, he felt bored in his heart, and raised his sword to practice sweating in the courtyard, and finally couldn't help it, and was about to go to the west courtyard to see the situation, but a palace maid hurriedly ran to kneel down and said, "Fourteenth master, Igerge has a terrible headache, please go and see her." ”

After all, it was a woman who had a skin-to-skin blind date, and Fourteen threw away his sword and asked, "Did you declare the imperial doctor?" ”

The palace maid cried: "I went to the West Courtyard just now to ask for Fu Jin's grace, and the people in the concierge said that Fu Jin had rested and refused to pass on the word, and the slave maid had no choice, so I had to come to ask the master." Fourteen turned his face to Zhang Fangfang and said, "Go to the Tai Hospital to ask for someone." Zhang Fangfang responded and ordered below. Fourteen changed his clothes and went to the side courtyard with a lantern.

There has never been such a thing as competing for favor in the fourteenth courtyard, first, the fourteenth is not keen on sexual women, and secondly, there is Fujin Town, and no one dares to act rashly. Today, Igger happened to hear that Rose and Fourteen had a quarrel, and knew that Fujin was pregnant and couldn't sleep, and he happened to have a headache in the summer heat, so he moved his mind and told a lie, and asked the loyal palace maid to invite the master.

I soon got the letter, it was not that there was someone in the South Courtyard, but that I was the master of the house, and there were a lot of minions who wanted to please me. Besides, my popularity in the palace is not bad, and my tone is not bad, after all, I am the main master, and there are quite a few people who help me.

It's a real headache, and he wants to lose his temper, but before he can make a fuss, a woman throws himself into his arms.

I sat up from the quilt and said, "Minqiu, you go to the side courtyard and tell the fourteenth master that my stomach hurts." Min Qiu was a solid eye, and she softened and said, "Miss, where do you hurt?" I'm going to ask for a doctor..."I rolled my eyes and said, "Silly Minqiu, I'm trying to lie to your uncle." Minqiu realized after half a sound, and said, "Will the master be angry?" I said, "Please come back." ”

Minqiu didn't dare to disobey my orders, so she went.

Fourteen was favored everywhere in the Igge house, and was served everywhere, and no one dared to disobey him for half a point, so he felt that he had a master's appearance, so he saw Zhang Fangfang hurriedly entering the house and said, "Master, Minqiu came to spread the word that Fujin had a stomachache." Fourteen was literally blown up from the bed, and Iger knelt down to put on his shoes, and he shook his hand in disgust, and put them on himself, and asked, "Can you call the imperial doctor?" ”

Zhang Fangfang said: "It's already called." ”

Iger sent Fourteen to the gate of the side courtyard and said, "Fujin Hongfu Qitian, it will be fine..."

Iger's words fell into the air, and no one echoed.

When Fourteen broke into the door, I deliberately leaned on the quilt and did not speak. There were three candles lit in the room, and my face turned pale. Fourteen-one put his foot on the pedal, sat down against me, put his hand to my forehead, and pulled his wrist to check the pulse. I stared at him with bulging eyes, hey, it's not easy to fool someone who knows how to heal.

Soon, he knew I was fooling him.

He glared angrily and said, "You're making fun of me, aren't you?" If there is such a joke in the future, I will never forgive you! "I remembered lying to Thirteen in the study during the day, and Thirteen replied as warm as jade and foaming like a spring breeze, compared with Fourteen and Eleven, it was really a difference between cloud and mud. He had the smell of rouge on a woman's body, and he dared to blame me for lying to him, I was angry and duplicitous: "What? Iger is well served, you are reluctant to leave, are you? ”

Fourteen Dao: "Whether she serves well or not is different from whether you deceive me or not." ”

I lifted the quilt, sat up, and said, "Two different things? Everything is two different things, whether you are jealous or not is two different things from me and the thirteenth master, whether Iger serves well or not, whether I lie to you or not is two different things, you are very clear, you are really the smartest person in the world! Fourteen hearts said: "What are you doing with the old thirteen?" Do you like him? But he said: "Women are really troublesome, and they have to pull a piece of everything." I said in my heart, "If you bow your head and admit your mistake, I will forgive you." But the mouth was aggressive: "Yes, women are trouble, unlike you, you can share the bed with the woman next to you, I have only met with the thirteenth master twice, and I want to use gossip to coerce me." ”

Fourteen couldn't guess what I meant at all, and he didn't know how to comfort the girl, and he didn't intend to comfort me, so he was angry and said, "When did I coerce you?" I couldn't guess what Fourteen was thinking, and with the momentum of a female man, he said, "Just now, right now, right now!! ”

Zhang Fangfang saw that in the middle of the night, things were going into trouble, risking death to dissuade him, and said: "Master, you dissipate your anger, Fujin is still pregnant..." ”

With that, he slammed the door and left.

I can't guess if he's going back to Igge or to the South Courtyard. I was so sad that I felt that this world was so bad that a man could have three wives and four concubines without the slightest moral blame. Coupled with the fact that the pregnant woman was already emotionally unstable, I couldn't help but cry. I put on a pair of slippers and ran around without direction, it was so dark, it was like the end of the world.
