By the time my injuries were fully healed, it would be three months later.

I was rescued from the mud and rocks by a passing glass caravan and followed all the way to the capital. I don't remember my past life, I don't remember this life, I can't even remember my name. The boss of the caravan saw that I was from an unknown place, and I lived for nothing, and he didn't want to take me anymore after leaving Gansu, but fortunately, the prostitute Yu Zhu Keling with the caravan begged the boss for a long time, and the boss agreed to take me to the capital. Yu Zhu is the most popular girl among the prostitutes, quite knowledgeable, can also play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and loves to talk to me.

When I arrived at the outskirts of Beijing, I could see the majestic city gate in the distance, Yu Zhu lifted the curtain, looked out with me, and asked softly: "Do you remember anything?" I thought hard and thought about it, but there was nothing else in my mind except a piece of yellow glazed roof hook and eaves bucket color. I shook my head in silence, and Yu Zhu said: "I followed the caravan to the north and south, and I have never seen a yellow roof outside the capital, I think, your home must be in the capital." My mind was empty, and I didn't say with joy or anger: "I hope so." He looked at Yu Zhu's white and round face again, and asked, "I met you Pingshui, why do you want to help me so much?" ”

An indescribable sadness was revealed under Yu Zhu's heavy rouge, and she said slowly: "If someone could pull me in the first place, I wouldn't have fallen to such a point. After a pause, he said: "When I rescued you, you were wearing men's clothes, presumably to avoid the enemy or to chase and kill, and when you enter the city, you had better not move around, and if you have nowhere to go, stay by my side for the time being and do some chores." ”

At this point, I had no choice.

Yu Zhu did not stay in the brothel, she bought a two-in, two-out courtyard by herself, called "Xiangyuan", she only accepted regular customers, and sometimes followed the caravan out of the courtyard. Cheng Boss's caravan was huge, with sixty or seventy people each time, and it took more than half a year to go back and forth, so he would hire a few prostitutes to serve with the caravan. Yu Zhu and Boss Cheng have been friends for many years, Yu Zhu relies on Boss Cheng's reputation in the business world and the rivers and lakes, and Boss Cheng will also let Yu Zhu steal some secret information from the powerful.

In the blink of an eye, I have been living in the capital for two months, and I live in a secluded place on weekdays, and hardly interact with people outside. Yu Zhu invited a famous doctor in the capital to treat me, and took a lot of decoctions, sometimes I dreamed in the middle of the night, and I would dream of familiar situations, such as large patches of roses, such as heavy houses, and a majestic back in the depths of the roses. That back haunts me in my dreams, but whenever he wants to turn back, I always wake up.

Yu Zhu was worried that I would be hunted down by the enemy, so he rarely let me go out, and even if he really wanted to tell me to do something, he would let me pretend to be a man and serve as her slave. On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Yu Zhu held a moon viewing party in Xiangyuan, and invited a few prostitutes from other places who were as independent as her, and invited powerful people from all walks of life in the capital to the next post.

I was afraid that others would treat me as a dusty woman, and I didn't even dare to wear women's clothes, and even when I walked around the incense garden, I wore men's clothes and braided hair. A few girls who served Yu Zhu especially looked at me unpleasantly, and always excluded me, and when they were busy in the garden, they supported me to do this and that. Aunt Qin's eyes were in the sky, and she smiled and said, "Oh, look at your fine skin and tender meat, you are even more delicate than the master, let you brush the toilet, I really wronged you." Although my memory is gone, my temper is still there, and I said, "Who said I was going to clean the toilet?" The little girl next to her interjected: "Mother Qin is the housekeeper in the yard, what are you?" It's just a beggar picked up by the young lady with kindness, and he eats and drinks for nothing here, and he refuses to let you help with some work, and he is so thick-skinned! ”

Aunt Qin echoed: "Isn't it..."

I was about to reason with them, but a slave came panting and said, "Hurry up, Master Lin from the household department is here, Miss asked us to serve the refreshments quickly..." Ya'er didn't dare to delay business, raised her eyebrows and glared at me, and said, "You're lucky today." After saying that, he twisted his ass and went.

Soon the sound of singing silk and bamboo came from the outer courtyard, and I wandered around the garden boredly, and after a while, the buds came out of nowhere, threw me two taels of silver, and said, "Go to the tavern and get two pots of high-quality daughter Honglai." I looked at her in a daze, and walked out of the door of the incense garden, if no one took me with me, I would not even be able to find my way back. Ya'er said angrily: "Don't look at me, but whoever has a little free time will not call you, Miss Jin'er invited a lot of people, and there are not enough people to call." ”

I went out the back door, and I didn't dare go far, so I found a tavern on the street. The hall is full of people and noisy. I stood at the counter and waited for Xiao Er to drink wine, and when I was bored for a while, I listened to two people in forged shirts talking about it. The man in the green shirt had a white face, a slight smug look between his eyebrows and eyes, and he said: "The Junggar Department plundered Hami, and the Holy Lord sent the Fourteenth Master to the west to dispatch, and now he has won a complete victory, and the Holy Lord ordered him to return to Beijing to receive the reward, and the Fourteenth Master received this reward, and the future is limitless." ”

Another white-robed man said: "How did I hear that the Fourteenth Master returned to Beijing this time, not for a reward, but for his Fujin to have a serious illness?" The man in the green shirt sneered and said, "Where did the nonsense come from?" What a heroic figure the Fourteenth Master is, how could he ignore the military situation on the border for the sake of his children's personal affairs? Although Alabutan has withdrawn from the army, who knows when he will make a comeback? If it weren't for the will of the Holy Being, presumably the Fourteenth Master would not be so ignorant. The two of them chattered non-stop, and I listened to it in my ears, only as other people's gossip, and did not take it to heart. Xiao Er poured the wine, packed it in a delicate small bamboo basket, handed it to me, and said flatteringly: "Are you on an errand in the incense garden?" I looked at Xiao Er for a while and said in surprise: "How do you know?" ”

Xiao Er smiled: "A few times I went to Xiangyuan to deliver snacks and meals, and I saw you twice from afar. ”

I don't know why, but my mind suddenly became interested in the "Fourteenth Master" in other people's mouths, and asked: "I heard the guest officers talking about the Fourteenth Master's return to Beijing, do you know who the Fourteenth Master is?" ”

Xiao Er was happy by my little brother's shout, and said happily: "Oh, you are from other places, the fourteenth master is a big man..." suppressed his voice, a little more reverence, and said: "The biological mother of the fourteenth master is Concubine De Niangniang, the fourteenth son of the saint today, so he is called the fourteenth master." He is strong in martial arts, and it is said that he can even have white hair and white hair. He sighed again and said with a smile: "I heard that the Fourteenth Master went to the West to fight and defeated the Dzungar Department, and has been recalled to the capital by the Holy Lord, and in another ten days and a half months, I am afraid that it will pass through here, and the class master will return to the court, then you just go out to see the excitement, if you are lucky, you may not see the true face of the Fourteenth Master." ”

After speaking, I didn't dare to delay for too long, resigned from the second child, and still went back to Xiangyuan by the same road.

I didn't pay attention to it before, but since I occasionally heard the name of the Fourteenth Master in the tavern, I was shocked to realize that there were people talking about Fourteen everywhere. I sent my daughter Hong to the Yuzhu house, and the bureaucrats and ministers in it were also talking about the fourteenth, I was not a person who served wine and food, but I was driven out by Ya'er when I arrived at the door, and I faintly heard someone under the corridor: "The fourteenth master returned to Beijing this time, and the saint originally disagreed, but the fourteenth master insisted on doing so, which is really a big taboo." Yu Zhu smiled lightly and said, "Why is the Fourteenth Master so anxious? ”

The minister said in a deep voice: "I'll tell you a royal secret, don't talk nonsense everywhere." ”

Yu Zhu pointed to the minister's pouring of wine, with a cold meaning, and said: "When have I said your words everywhere, if you are worried, don't say it." Yu Zhu treats men very well, and the minister was afraid that Yu Zhu would be angry, so he hugged her and said with a smile: "How can I mean that?" After a pause, he said: "Actually, the fourteenth master returned to Beijing because he was gone." Yu Zhu was surprised and said, "How could the deep house compound be gone?" The minister said: "I don't know the joints, I only know that after the fourteenth master finished the battle, I heard that something happened to my Fujin, and I didn't even listen to the decree of the saint, and hurriedly returned to the court." Yu Zhu smiled: "The fourteenth master has returned to Beijing in a hurry, what can I do in the west?" If the Dzungar Ministry sends troops again, wouldn't it be a major mistake? ”

The minister poured down a sip of wine and said, "Don't be afraid, there is another deputy capital with red flags in the west, and Tongfu Anning is stationed..."

I could hear it, and I was suddenly slapped on the shoulder, and I jumped big, but it was Ya'er who said, "What are you doing standing here?" She stared at me vigilantly, lest I take her place as the maid in charge. I said, "Do you want to send back the flask and the bamboo basket?" Ya'er said: "No need, the banquet is dispersed at night, and someone from the tavern will come to pick it up." He glanced at me again and said, "There's nothing to do with you here, just go back to the backyard and rest." "On the one hand, she was jealous of what I had done for nothing, and on the other hand, she was worried about what I had done to take her place. I didn't bother to figure out what she was thinking, so I went back to the backyard by myself.

When he returned to Beijing on the 14th, he would pass by the front gate of Xiangyuan, and even Yu Zhu couldn't help but join in the fun, dressed up early, and stood in front of the door waiting for the guard of honor to pass by. The street is empty, both sides are crowded with onlookers, the autumn is very cool, the fragrance garden is closed today, I changed back to the blouse, wearing a moon-white horse-faced skirt, with a blue placket forging clothes, combed the oblique bun, hairpin a silver oblique hairpin. Ya'er had never seen me dressed as a woman seriously, so she was taken aback, and said with a sneering expression: "Who is dressing up for?" ”

Yu Zhu reprimanded and said, "Ya'er, don't be rude!" She's a guest! ”

Because I don't remember my name, Yu Zhu always called me "she". Ya'er pouted: "What kind of guest is she?" Yu Zhu's eyebrows were raised, and he said angrily: "What? Do you want to fight with me? ”

Ya'er was timid, and hurriedly said: "The slave doesn't dare." ”

Yu Zhu wanted to say something, but he heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and the people around him were crowded, and they were surging upward. Immediately afterwards, countless guards came in order, opened a large avenue, and stopped us under the walls on both sides of the street.
