12. Listen to the fate of the miserable self-knowledge, and sit on the sunset without anger and self-authority
"Hehe, brother, Yue'er still has wine here! You wait for me to get it, and I'll talk to you slowly!"
Xiyu ran into the house, tossed for a while, and then came out with a jar of wine, winked at Xiao Yi, and said,
"Brother, this is Yue'er's treasured wine, you have to taste it, this is an old wine, that's all!"
Xiao Yi's heart was hot, and he wanted to drink, he immediately took it, opened it and smelled it, only to feel that this wine had the umami taste of green bamboo, but it was more fragrant than the previous pots, he took a sip, and the bamboo fragrance was accompanied by the wine, and then it was endless, and the taste was really wonderful. Xiao Yi thought to himself, although these two wines are of the same origin, they should not be from the hands of one person. He turned his mind around, and didn't think about the wine anymore, just looked down at the sunset. Xiyu stood aside obediently and said with a smile,
"Brother, drink slowly, we still have a lot to say!"
Xiyu pulled him to sit down and said sweetly,
"Brother, where do we start!"
Xiao Yi pointed to her, and she laughed out loud,
"You didn't realize that I was a woman until just now! Hehe, the master's methods are really powerful! After so many years of dressing up, only the shallot seniors recognized me! You, it's the second one!"
"Your master?"
Xiao Yi asked. Listen to the sunset rain again,
"My master is a peerless master, and his ability to disguise himself is the best in the world, but because of some small flaws in his personality, he ran away from home. When he came to Yazhou, his father couldn't help but stay, he was at ease alone, and he liked this jade bamboo wine the most, so he stayed there. He also grew up watching me, and he is my dearest person!"
Xiyu stuck out her tongue and said,
"I see I'm wrong, but it's also related to the master! Let's continue to talk about this woman disguised as a man! I was born with my younger brother, and my father begged a wandering immortal to calculate, if he let his younger brother take over the family's business, he would definitely ruin the business. My father was convinced of it, so he put all his trust on me. But I am a woman, and my father thinks that he cannot inherit it, so he thinks about it for a long time, and secretly consults with his master, so he decides on this plan to disguise herself as a man. Hey, other people dress up as women occasionally, but I've been dressed like this since I was born. Brother, look at my room, it is also a normal man's decoration, I have bitterness in my heart, but I can't find anyone to talk to! Except for the master and father, they have all grown so big, and only you have really seen Yue'er's true face. I can only take out the mirror and see what I look like when there is no one in this lonely courtyard. ”
Xiao Yi nodded and said,
"Your father wants to pass on the family business to you, so he makes you disguise herself as a man and deceive everyone! Then why still let you marry, doesn't this expose you again!"
Xiyu sighed and continued to drink her glass of wine,
"Daddy said that when I get married, he will let me restore my daughter's body, and I finally understand his thoughts!"
Xiao Yi listened attentively to her, Xiyu smiled,
"Brother, you relax a little bit! The shallot senior came into the mansion to see me last night, he recognized me as a woman, came to ask me why, I think he has no heart, and very capable, although he doesn't like to talk, but really cute. He said that he wanted to see what the other party was like, and if it was not good, he would throw him into the Tsing Yi River to feed the fish, and I didn't persuade him, thinking that if he went, he could come and tell me earlier, so as not to keep me in the dark. He informed me before you entered the door, and I couldn't have been happier to hear the shallot senior say that you had replaced that person! I met him again before I entered the house just now. ”
Xiyu stopped, squinted at Xiao Yi, Xiao Yi was about to ask the shallot, Xiyu opened his mouth again,
"Brother, do you know what that man looks like?"
Xiao Yi shook his head honestly and said,
"He's smeared so much powder that he can't see the real thing!"
Listen to the sunset rain again,
"That's what you saw me before!"
Xiao Yi was taken aback again, as if he had come back to his senses, and Xiyu continued,
"I really admired the master's five-body throw! Thinking about it, my marriage with him was decided at a very young age. The master often checks my appearance and repairs it from time to time, which should be adjusted according to his appearance. After we get married, he will become me, and I can really restore my daughter's body! Haha, Daddy is really cunning enough! When the time comes, it will be a natural thing to take over the family business. My father didn't let me go out, probably because he was afraid that I would be found out and ruin his good deeds. Besides, my father raised me as a boy, and the other side reversed and raised him as a daughter. Thinking about it this way, everything can be explained! It's just that my father forgot a little bit about what kind of character the other party is, what kind of character he is, and what kind of ability he is, so why didn't he investigate and investigate? Later, I heard from my shallot predecessor that this person was very capable of pretending, and he was extremely perfect on the surface, but no one could do evil in his heart, but I was afraid that he had deceived his father because of this. Hmph, if you want to calculate my Xi family, go dream!"
After listening to this, Xiao Yi finally sorted out his clue, and he breathed a long sigh of relief.
"I see......!
"Brother, I don't call this name either, it's just the name my father asked me to use when I was a man! Hehe, my original name was Xiyue, which was the name my mother gave me! You will call me Yue'er in the future!"
"Sunset, sunset, this sunset moon is really better!"
"That's nature!"
"It's not a month,"
Xiao Yi called her like this for the first time, but she was a little unaccustomed to it.
"Yue'er, your husband is gone, and you have regained your appearance, so what should I do next, I can't pretend to be that person!"
Xiyue thought about it, this is one missing, and a woman suddenly came out, it is really not easy to explain, how does the Xi family face that leisurely mouth.
"Oh, I can't care so much, it's a big deal to have a showdown with my father! Anyway, I don't want to be a boy anymore, and I don't want to stay at home anymore. Brother, you will take me away, let's go to the ends of the earth and never come back!"
Xiao Yi didn't know how to refuse, she took a bite of a "brother", and his heart was crispy, and he only held back a few words.
"Is that really good?"
Xiyue chuckled and drank the wine in the cup in one gulp,
"Brother, today we have sacrificed to heaven and earth, and worshiped our parents! In other words, we are already a real husband and wife! It's just that during the day, I am the groom and you are the bride, and this night it is reversed, and it becomes that you are the groom and I am the bride! Haha, you can't abandon me! We have already drunk three glasses of wine just now, and the ceremony has been completed!"
Xiao Yiluo stood up and said busily,
"No, no, I'm just helping today, I can't do it, I can't do it!"
Xiyue was a little melancholy, but she still smiled softly,
"Brother, don't you really like Yue'er?"
Xiao Yi hurriedly waved his hand and said,
"No, no, it's not that I don't like it, ah, no, hey, it's not what you think anyway!"
Xiao Yi was clumsy for a while, and talked nonsense, but he amused the sunset.
"Then I'll assume that you like Yue'er!"
"I like Yue'er, but I'm not the kind of person I like! Yue'er, you ......"
Xiyue's eyes widened and stared at Xiao Yi, Xiao Yi stopped talking, Xiyue pursed her lips and smiled, and said,
"Brother, I know you like that little girl with dimples, well, I've met her once, and I like it too. But, brother, you can like me too!"
Xiao Yi really didn't know how to reply,
"I, I, you, you...... Oops! I ......."
Yuzuki covered her mouth and laughed,
"Brother, why are you still incoherent! I amuse you! If you are the one who loves one, how can I like you!"
After listening to this, Xiao Yi relieved his heart,
"Yue'er, you scared the hell out of me!"
Xiyue hugged his arm and said,
"Well, you just think you're doing me a favor, I'm serious, hehe, you're my daughter-in-law, all my life!"
Xiao Yi wanted to break free of her hand, but her arm was clenched tighter and tighter, and he was afraid that it would hurt her, so he had to give up.
"Yue'er, you, you ......"
Xiyue smiled sweetly and said,
"Brother, can you agree to my request, as for the rest, I won't force you anymore!"
Xiao Yi nodded, listening to her,
"Stay with me for one night, stay until dawn tomorrow, if you want to leave, I will never stop you!"
Xiao Yi thought to herself, it's not too early at this hour, and it won't be a big deal to stay for a while, so I should talk to her to relieve my boredom. He smiled and nodded,
"Good!"
Xiyue was already extremely tired, she was helped to the chair by Xiao Yi, and quickly closed her eyes. Xiao Yi listened to her breathing smoothly and was already asleep. He picked up Xiyue and put it on the bed, wanting to take off his hand, but Xiyue still held his right arm in his sleep, dead or alive, Xiao Yi sat on the edge of the bed like this, and raised his right arm to the most comfortable height for her until dawn.
Xiyue slept soundly, Xiao Yi saw her pouting in her dream, she looked very playful, even if it was already dawn, she still didn't want to wake her up. When she woke up, it was already past the hour. The setting moon opened her eyes, and saw that it was already bright outside the window, and exclaimed,
"Oh no, brother, why haven't you left yet, how can you get out in broad daylight!"
Xiao Yi smiled,
"Oh, you're like this, how can I go!"
Xiyue looked at herself and was still holding Xiao Yi in both hands, her upper teeth bit her lower lip lightly, and she said apologetically,
"Brother, it's not good for Yue'er, you stay in the room first, and I'll come when I go!"
Xiao Yi grabbed her and said,
"The way you are now, does anyone still know you!"
Yue'er then remembered that the person was no longer there yesterday, and it was really not easy to explain it so rashly. She walked around the room, not knowing what to do.
"Yue'er, don't worry, why don't you find your master, restore the previous men's clothes for the time being, wait until everything is arranged, and then change back into a daughter?"
Xiyue almost cried and said,
"Yesterday they didn't feel any accidents, everything was in the plan, the master let go of his hands and feet, drunk on the spot, I can't do it for sure if I can wake up today! And I, I, I don't want to wear that man's clothes anymore! Brother, you don't know how painful it is here!"
Xiao Yi looked at the place she was pointing, the twin peaks bulged, and he immediately looked away again, thinking, this girl wants to pretend to be a man, just suppressing this chest part, she already has to suffer a lot, not to mention that every time she walks out of the door, she has to veneer the skin, pour wax, wear high shoes, and even her voice has to be deliberately changed, which can be imagined. What's even more commendable is that even so, she is still enthusiastic and cheerful, full of hope for the future. Xiao Yi originally only felt pity for her, but now she admires and appreciates more. Xiyue asked him to take her away, and he was really a little wavering!
"Why haven't you gotten up yet! I'm so lazy to get home!"
"Back to the master, on the big day yesterday, the son and the lady were in just the right mood, and they were still dancing, so they should be too tired, so they couldn't get up early. ”
"Hmph, go down first!"
Xiao Yi Xiyue heard it clearly, it was this night when the master of the family came,
"Hurry up and open the door!"
The door of the house was smashed, and Xiyue simply hid behind Xiao Yi and whispered,
"Brother, what should I do! What should I do! It's all because Yue'er is greedy for sleep, and it has affected my brother!"
Xiao Yi pressed her shoulder and said,
"Sooner or later, we will have to face it, so it's better to make it clear now. ”
Xiyue looked at Xiao Yi's resolute eyes and nodded her head vigorously. Xiao Yi went up to open the door, both sides of the door opened, and there was a person in the middle of the door, about forty years old, although the dress was simple, but from head to toe all revealed capability. Xiao Yi looked at his Chinese face, his facial features were distinct, although it was just an ordinary appearance, but if he looked at him with four eyes, he could immediately feel his extraordinary bearing, and there was a transcendent sense of oppression.
"Hello Master Xi!"
That night, the old man was also a person who had seen the world, his body stood still, and he replied without a trace of emotion,
"Hmm. Are you all up?"
Xiao Yi nodded back to him awkwardly,
"Get up!"
"Clean up and come to the antechamber. ”
The old man of the Xi family turned around and went to the front hall, and the evening moon trembled and stuck next to Xiao Yi, and the two followed behind together. The small courtyard of Xiyue is a courtyard within a courtyard, and the fish pond rockeries are all small and exquisite, and they are chic. Last night, I heard Xiyue say that on weekdays, only Master Xi, Master, and a few well-known teachers can enter this courtyard, and in addition, very few people come, so most of the time this is just a small world for her. The subordinates were not allowed to come in on weekdays, and even the food was only delivered by the master himself, and occasionally on festivals they were allowed to come to place fruits, decorate roof tiles, and so on, and they would not stay in this courtyard to serve and wait for dispatch. But Xiyue doesn't have much free time, all kinds of books are piled up, she is quite clever, and most of them are so-so.
The three of them came to the hall, the tea had already been placed on the table and chairs, Master Xi picked it up and put it down, it should still be very hot, there was some anger in his eyes, but his face did not change at all,
"Who are you two?"
Xiyue moved a few small steps, letting Xiao Yi block half of her body,
"Daddy, I'll tell you. ”
Xiyue was about to say, but Master Xi interrupted her and said,
"It's still this kid!"
Yuzuki grinned twice and closed her lips slightly, her eyes full of anticipation. Xiao Yi adjusted his mood, and then told him about his experience yesterday. Master Xi also occasionally raised his eyebrows, or moved the corners of his mouth, Xiao Yi couldn't understand him at all, so he had to tell the truth and didn't dare to hide anything. Xiyue couldn't help laughing out loud when she heard him say it seriously, but she was glared at by Master Xi, so she didn't dare to make it again.
"Listen to you, this kid has one thing on the surface and one thing behind the back? It stands to reason that it shouldn't be, I have eyeliner to report to me from time to time, is it also bought by others?"
Master Xi couldn't believe it, Xiao Yi replied to him,
"I swear to heaven that this is true! The first time I saw him, there was a girl sitting on each of his legs, who looked like the same, and when she heard him speak, she was extremely obscene, and she was not a person who could be entrusted with her life. ”
Master Xi nodded, and suddenly his eyebrows rose,
"Huh?!, you're the one you can trust for life?"
Xiao Yi was asked by him, and said,
"Me, me and Yue'er, we, there's nothing between us!"
"Hmph!
Master Xi picked up the tea bowl, and Xiao Yi looked at his posture, but he was afraid that he would smash it at any time.
"Daddy! Brother Xiaoyi is a good person, he has helped us a lot! Me and him, nothing happened, don't worry!"
Master Xi was full of concentration, and immediately returned to his previous appearance,
"Where is that boy now, bring him to me!"
Xiao Yi replied,
"That senior should be with my companion, I'll go back and bring him!"
Master Xi glared at Xiyue and said,
"You kid just stay here for me, my daughter's innocence is in your hands, I can't let you go like this!"
Xiao Yi blushed, he didn't know why, in front of the old man of the Xi family, he couldn't speak at all. Xiyue stood up, ran to Master Xi's side with a smile, and grabbed his hand and couldn't stop shaking,
"Daddy, don't embarrass Brother Yi anymore!"
The old man of the Xi family seems to love this girl very much, and after thinking for a moment, he said,
"Where your companions are, I will bring them with me, and if that boy is as you say, I will thank you for not destroying my daughter in his hands. Hey, I don't know what I thought at the beginning, I have been working in vain for so many years, and my daughter has suffered so much. ”
Xiao Yi listened to him talk like this, and she was also happy for Xiyue, if she could keep her daughter in the future, it would really be a blessing in disguise. Xiyue circled around Lord Xi, like an innocent child, Master Xi smiled from ear to ear, and the relationship between father and daughter was difficult to tell in words. Xiao Yi's heart warmed, but he remembered his life experience again and slowly lowered his head. Seeing this, Xiyue hurried over to inquire,
"Brother, what's wrong with you, what's unpleasant in your mind?"
Xiao Yi shook his head lightly and smiled,
"Nothing, nothing. It's good, I'm all good!"
Xiyue smiled and narrowed her eyes into a line,
"Brother is afraid that Yue'er will be worried, well, Yue'er is going to cook a table of good dishes today, so that Daddy and Brother can taste it together!"
Master Xi got up and said that he was going to pick up Tong Lu and the others, and by the way, he prepared ingredients for Xiyue. Xiao Yi never expected that such a big thing would be so easy to pass in front of Master Xi. Xiyue saw his thoughts and said,
"Actually, Daddy loves Yue'er the most, he will be satisfied with whatever Yue'er wants, I think he also thinks of his mother as soon as he sees me, and I work so hard, he always wants to compensate me!"
Xiao Yi nodded,
"I can see that he really loves you!"
Yuzuki laughed,
"Brother, do you remember the scene when we first met! I'm so stupid that I can't find the bone sword!"
Xiao Yi remembered the situation at that time, and he didn't feel it.
"Of course I remember, you ordered a big pot of fish by yourself, but the fish meat was turned over and smashed, but you didn't eat a bite, and you had to give the bone sword to others, and you had to go to your relatives' house!"
The setting moon jumped and clapped her hands,
"Yes, yes, yes, I've lost all my face, haha, but it's not my face in the first place, so I'm going to talk about this fishbone thing. When I came back, I asked my father why there were no bones in the fish I ate on weekdays, and he said that when I was very young, I got stuck in the bones of the fish and almost didn't puncture my throat, and since then, there has not been a single fishbone bone in the fish I have given me! I often play with this sword bone, but it was taken down earlier. Brother, you say, Daddy still loves me very much, right?!"
Xiao Yi nodded,
"Naturally, yes, how can a father and mother not like their children!"
Yuzuki ran into the house and came out with a sandalwood box,
"Brother, look at you, this box is full of bone swords! I'm thinking about tying them up one by one with thin threads, making bracelets into necklaces, and making a beautiful skirt, which squeaks when I move! You say, you say, won't it look good!"
Xiao Yi smiled,
"Of course it's pretty! Yue'er must be very good-looking!"
Yuzuki laughed and hugged the box tightly.
