Chapter 5 Chapter Four: Fang Fei Warms the World

The distant mountains are like Daisy, silent, and beside the gurgling stream, a group of maids are washing clothes. In the freezing water, pairs of white hands are rubbing the clothes quickly, as if they are competing with swimming fish. I weighed the season of washing clothes, straightened up, and felt a dull pain in my long-bent waist. I thumped lightly, slightly brushed the black hair stained on my face with sweat, and looked at the morning sun against the wind. In an elegant garden not far away, the red plum poked its head, bright red like fire, imprinted on my heart, and there is also some pure happiness, it should be Xifengwan.

Suddenly a woman called out: "Mu girl, Miss Jin has sent someone to look for you." Standing in the distance was a handsome girl in an autumn-colored blouse, wearing fine silk like light smoke. The servants all recognized that she must be someone from the garden, so they stopped their noise and respected her. Pointing at me respectfully, I wondered if there was something wrong with Jinxiu? He quickly jumped ashore, pulled down his trousers, came up to him, and bowed to the girl, "I'm Mujin, I've met Chuhua's sister." The girl rolled her eyes and smiled at me: "Have you seen me before?"

"Back to the beginning of painting my sister, Mu Jin has never seen my sister before." "Then how do you know my name?" "Mu Jin heard that there was a martial arts competition in Zhuangzi before. Only sister Chuhua and Jinxiu combined their swords and won all the soldiers in the garden. Madam Tete only rewarded sister Chuhua and Jinxiu. The color of autumn fragrance is soft and smoky, just now I saw my sister walking over, like a fairy surrounded by mist in the sun, Mu Jin guessed that you must be the first sister who served the second miss with Jinxiu." That's what Yu Feiyan told me last month. When he said it, the stars were flying around, his black face was flushed, he was the champion of the sword, and he watched the match of two swords before he realized that he had chosen the wrong weapon. , Regretting that I didn't learn swords, otherwise I would have the opportunity to practice the double swords.

I am very proud of Jinxiu, but I am also very worried that she will be exaggerated by everyone because of her sharpness. My second brother, Song Minglei, who was the leader of the military strategy at that time, only smiled faintly: "Brother don't want to Don't worry, just find Fifth Sister to compete with each other when you have time." Then he turned his head and said to me: "Fourth sister, don't worry. In the past six years, fifth sister has been very popular with the second lady and the wife, and she is quite tactful in dealing with people. After a while, I will be able to take a leave of absence from my wife to come and see her." You and the third sister."

It has been six years, so I have spent six years in this handyman's room in Xifengwan without knowing it... The girl gave a sly smile, and looked me up and down several times: "No wonder that little Jinxiu brags in front of me all day long how smart her sister is, so it's true." "Thank you for your praise, I don't know why sister Chuhua is looking for me?" I still lowered my eyes to the ground, not daring to do anything wrong. She took out a small bottle from her bosom: "Jinxiu asked me to give it to you. She accompanied Miss and Madam to the Famen Temple to burn incense, and she might not be back until three months later, so she asked me to bring you the newly prepared ginseng." Here comes Yangrong Maru."

I took the bottle, along with a letter from Jinxiu, which probably said that I would go out for a while and asked Biying and I to take care of ourselves. No wonder Jinxiu hadn't come to see me for a long time. It turned out that he was going to accompany the young lady. After the madam burnt incense, she felt a little melancholy, but she was happy that Biying's ginseng nourishing pills had a continuation, and now she almost survived by relying on this. I raised my head, and was about to thank that first painting, when I saw her tilting her head, staring at me curiously, her black and white eyes were clear and bright, "You are nothing like Jinxiu, she is taller than you." It looks much better, are you really twins?"

She asked very directly, and I wasn't angry. Almost everyone who knew about my relationship with Jinxiu said so in recent years. Six years ago, in order to let Jinxiu stay, I just said that Ziqi was coming from the east. I never expected that three days later, pigeons would fly in the capital to report the great news. He liked the eldest son quite a lot, so he issued an imperial edict to marry the eldest princess to Yuan Feiqing, the eldest son of the Yuan family. The original wife, Lien's family, was also conferred the title of Mrs. Yipin Haoming, the family's honor and favor. In the past few years, more power has been poured into the government and the public, and her reputation is getting higher and higher day by day.So Jinxiu really became the nobleman of the Yuan family as I said.

She became the second miss's personal maid and accompanying student. She lived with the second miss, ate and slept together, practiced literature and martial arts, was beautiful, gentle and virtuous, and treated people kindly. From hating her very much to liking her 120,000 percent, some people even say that Madam likes Jinxiu sometimes even more than Second Miss. Looking at her clear and straightforward eyes, I seem to understand why Jinxiu can match her two swords and stand alone in Ziyuan. For Jinxiu to entrust such an important thing to her, she must have trusted her very much, and I felt good about her. I smiled and nodded: "Yes, but I was only born about ten seconds earlier than her."

She looked at me puzzled, by the way, the time of the ancients was not accurate to the second, so she smiled and said, "I was born a little earlier than her." She nodded, approached me, took my hand and said, "Actually, I'm the same age as you and Jinxiu. I was born in September of the third year of Yuanwu. Speaking of which, I'm still younger than you. Why don't you call me Chu?" Let’s draw, Miss Mujin.” There was hope in her eyes, and I couldn't refuse: "Okay, thank you for the first painting." I seem to have another sister. When I was free at noon, I took my food and ran back to the small shabby house in Xifeng Wanbei. I gently opened the door, lifted the curtain and came in. A strong smell of medicine came to my nostrils. I was lying on the bed. A beautiful woman with extremely shaved skin, her face was a little blue, and her skin was covered with sores. Seeing me coming in, she was struggling to get up from the bed, so I hurried up to help her sit up, "Don't worry, don't worry, take your time. "

The sick beauty coughed, panted and looked behind me: "Jinxiu didn't come again, she's okay." "She's fine. The first picture in Madam's room says that she went to Famen Temple to burn incense with Madam and Second Miss." I said casually, moved the table over and took out the rice under the padded robe, "Look, Today Li Erniang made your favorite pulled noodles. I didn’t dare to pour oil and pepper on it for you, but I added it to my bowl. Cough again." I stirred the three-inch-long wide noodles, and it was really "twist the noodles as wide as a trouser belt", and carefully fed her a small mouthful, and then I also tasted it, um!It's really delicious. I exaggeratedly imitated Xi'an people and said: "Biangbiang (biangbiang) noodles with oily spicy noodles are so delicious! Biying."

Seeing my funny pouting, she finally smiled. This smile is clear and shallow, but it makes the pale and blue sick face reveal a little youthful atmosphere that a girl should have. This is my third sworn sister, Yao Biying, whose heart is higher than the sky but whose life is thinner than paper. Her fortune really can't be compared with Jinxiu's. In the second lady's room, I, the third sister, still have the temper of Lin Daiyu. Within a month, she was framed and framed, and the maids found the jade pen under her pillow that the second lady hadn't seen, and without asking what was wrong, they stood up thirty sticks, kicked them out of the garden, and relegated them to the miscellaneous house where I was. In the service room, I do the hard work with me. Biying was born as a daughter of a thousand gold, so she does this kind of rough work there. In addition, Mrs. Zhou, who is in charge of the service room, scolds all day long: "a lowly man who steals from the master. Whore, you have to think that you are what you are, and you are talking about the daughter of a thousand gold, even if the princess and queen come to us, you can't obediently wash our dung and wash our clothes." She was even more angry, her injuries were still not healed, and she was punished to clean the excrement bucket every day, but she couldn't get sick anymore. At the beginning, Mrs. Zhou wanted to ask her wife to kick her out. I was shocked. I used my three-inch tongue to fabricate that Biying was a loyal minister. After going out, Mrs. Zhou finally felt some sympathy, so she called the doctor in the garden for diagnosis and treatment. The doctor said that her wounds were not healed, her spirit was depressed, and she needed to be recuperated slowly. In the past few years, she has become a medicine jar, especially at the end of every year, and she has a bad cough. I worry all the time whether she will live until the New Year. Fortunately, in "Little Five Justices in the Wild", apart from me and Biying who were relatively down-and-out, Yu Feiyan and Song Minglei, like Jinxiu, shined brilliantly in Ziqi Villa. No one can match his courage. Song Minglei has been witty, calm and resourceful since he was a child, and became the favorite student of Liu Yanshu, the former family's military adviser and chief steward. With the help of the two of them and Jinxiu, Biying's medical bills were finally settled. In the past two years, Biying's illness has finally improved. The doctor said that the key lies in the Ginseng Yangrong Pill. Thinking of the ginseng Yangrong pills, I jumped down the pit and took out the small bottle that Chuhua gave me, "Look, Jinxiu asked Chuhua to give me the ginseng Yangrong pills. After eating the ice noodles, we will eat them." One pill." There was a gleam of brilliance in Biying's eyes, which was fleeting, and said quietly: "This pill is too expensive, Jinxiu must have paid her own monthly payment again, I think it's better not to take it, it hasn't improved after so many years, don't waste it anymore The hard work of the four of you." Here it is again, I hate Biying's tone the most: "Oh! It's not good for you to say that. It's been so many years. Although it's a little bit hard, you're still living a good life, which means that Lord Yan doesn't want you now. Look, it's hard to get you It's almost over, don't say such despondent words." "You haven't been to Huangquan, how do you know that Lord Yan doesn't want me anymore." She sighed and looked at me. I sat on the floor washing Biying's clothes without looking back, "I just know it, and I just saw it, believe it or not." Then I raised my head and smiled at her: "Actually, if you really Afraid of ruining our intentions, we should get well quickly and give birth to Song Er Ge a big fat boy and me a nephew." In the bullock cart of the human trafficker Mrs. Chen, Biying had a good impression of Song Minglei, and she blushed, making her sickly face more colorful, and she was ashamed and annoyed: "Mujin, you hoof, you, You, you, again, came to tease me again. I am such a tuberculosis, I am worthy of Second Brother Song." I looked at her face jokingly, the ancients would have already been the mother of a child at her age, but it's a pity that a beauty like Biying, if she hadn't been sick, might have been taken over by some master in the garden. I saw that she was so ashamed that she was about to throw the ginseng pill, so I put away the joke and begged her for mercy. At this time, a clear voice came into the cabin: "It's so lively, is Sanmei better today?" After closing the heavy curtain, a handsome and handsome face appeared in front of him, saying Cao Cao, Cao Cao has arrived, it is Song Minglei, with some white snow on his head, so when did it start snowing outside. Biying blushed like a cloud of fire, only I knew that this was the only happy time she had in the past few years, I hurriedly shook the snow for Second Brother Song, poured hot tea, picked up the laundry tub, and walked towards the west wing with a smile : "Second Brother Song, please take care of Third Sister, I'll go and wash the clothes." "They're all my brothers and sisters, why be so polite, Hibiscus, let's sit together." His eyes were as bright as Sirius in the night sky, with a hint of a smile on his face, and he looked at me complicatedly, but how dare I spoil their good deeds, Still slipped away. I took my clothes and walked to the creek in front of the house, wanting to say that before the snow fell, I hurried to float. I was about to squat down when a gust of wind brushed by my ears. The golden gun with the red sakura stuck in my heel was still shaking, and the force was obvious, a flash of pain flashed across my face, and when I touched it, it was indeed bleeding. "Mu girl, I didn't get lost this time, but I found you again." Before I could turn my head, a tall black figure of 1.80 meters stood in front of my eyes, with sharp edges and corners, firm and handsome features, and uncombed red hair The bun, draped over the shoulders, the pupils of the eyes are like grape wine, shining brightly, he stared at me extremely proudly and excitedly, my heart turned orange, it was Fourth Master Jue, how could he find me so easily now. Having said that, I need to introduce the situation of the children of the owner of Ziqi Mountain Villa. The former General Qingjiang, styled Ranzhi, is now promoted to Minister of the Ministry of War. He has three sons and a daughter. The eldest brother, Yuan Feiqing, is now the son-in-law of the eldest princess. He is 22 years old this year, and the second young lady, Yuan Feiyan, is the child of his first wife, Qin Shi. Unfortunately, Qin Shi died of dystocia. Then, General Yuan straightened Qin Shi's dowry maid, Xie Shi, who gave birth to Yuan Feibai, Third Master Bai, who is seventeen years old this year.It is said that the former general's favorite is the third master Bai, who is not only capable of poetry at the age of six, but also good at archery at the age of eight.King Jingxia, the emperor's younger brother, also praised: "It's really a dragon, a colt, and a phoenix." Unfortunately, when Bai Sanye was ten years old, he suddenly fell off his horse and broke his legs, which ruined Bai Sanye's career as a child prodigy. His mother Xie also died of a heart attack overnight. Lord and his mysterious servant, the legendary Mr. Han Xiuzhu, live in seclusion in Xifengwan with hot springs. That Mr. Han Xiuzhu was originally the "Qingfeng Aozhu" among the famous three friends of Suihan in martial arts. General Yuan respected him extremely, and even the current Mrs. Yuan also respected him three points. With his great reputation and status in the world, he was willing to be a servant for such a young man, which made people think. And the former general continued to take the Lian family, a famous family in Kyoto, and the current Mrs. Yuan, unfortunately, she has nothing to do so far. In the second year after Lian's entry, when the former general returned from the Turkic expedition, he brought back a ten-year-old boy with red hair and a loud cry. He called him the fourth son. It was the extremely rampant sixteen-year-old boy in front of him. It was rumored that Fourth Master Jue's biological mother was a Persian dancer. In fact, he didn't like General Yuan very much, and his red hair and red eyes made his stepmother not like him very much. He himself had no interest in Central Plains culture. Poetry, qin and painting are also excellent, and he is a well-known road idiot. He lives in Yubeizhai, but always goes to Xifengwan inexplicably, so he is naturally misunderstood by Bai Sanye, the owner of Xifengwan. I think it is one after another to challenge the letter. This is the fourth master Jue, who was beaten by Mr. Han time and time again, but unfortunately, the words "retire in spite of difficulties" never appeared in the fourth master Jue's limited dictionary. Still getting lost and beaten again, Mr. Han's "care" for him turned him into a real martial arts idiot, so he had an unstoppable enthusiasm for the Western Regions and high-strength martial arts, and clamored to go to the Western Regions every day Looking at the customs, his biggest dream is to worship Jin Gu Zhenren, the number one master of martial arts, as his teacher. According to legend, he has lived in seclusion on the snow-capped mountains of the Western Regions. The above information is all from the gossip of the girl and mother-in-law, or Song Minglei told me in his free time. My acquaintance with this young master was also quite dramatic. When I was nine years old, Biying was dying of illness. At that time, let alone medicine, even eating was difficult. I desperately thought about how to supplement nutrition for her, and finally had no choice but to It’s nature, I said it was going to be late, I secretly put a basket in the lake of Xifengwan Garden, caught some fish and crabs, and accidentally caught a golden water snake, I’ve never seen it like this Beautiful water snake, this snake soup is a good thing, snake gallbladder is also a holy medicine for cough, of course, it would be even better if Yu Feiyan could help me sell this golden snake skin, haha!Just as I was grinning at the water snake, a red head suddenly appeared on my left side and asked curiously, "Why did you catch this poisonous Jin Buli?" This was the first time I met Fourth Master Jue, a celebrity in this villa. At that time, he happened to get lost to Xiwan again, and he held his breath and peeked at me for a long time. I was so frightened that I almost slipped into the water, but when I heard the snake's name, I froze again: "You are talking nonsense, this is clearly a water snake, not a poisonous snake." In the darkness, his wine pupils gleamed faintly, like the eyes of a beast moving in the dark, staring at me scorchingly: "This Mochou Lake is stagnant water, and it is also Huwan Lake in Xifengwan. What else can the old man keep in it?" At this time, my face must be ashen, and I slowly backed out of the water, but unfortunately I was still holding on to the head and tail of the gold strip, neither letting it go nor holding it, it was clearly the moonlight It's as cold as water, but I feel like I'm roasting on a charcoal fire, "Excuse me, little brother, can you help me hold this inseparable seven inches?" "Hmph! Why should I help you?" He straightened up, put his hands behind his back, and raised his chin arrogantly. Under the moonlight, his uncombed red hair was flowing with soft light and drifting in the wind. I immediately guessed him I also remembered Song Erge's one of his characteristics that Second Brother Song told me: "If I get the kindness of Fourth Master Jue today, I will definitely repay it with a grass knot. Let me send Fourth Master back to Yubeizhai first!" He immediately looked back at me, and said viciously: "Whoever wants you to see me off, I will naturally know the way back. Besides, I'm in Xifengwan, so what can Han Xiuzhu do to me?" "But it seems that Mr. Han is coming here." As I was talking, there was a figure flashing here from a distance. But the master believed it was true, his face changed, and he chopped the snake seven inches away with one hand, and the snake broke into several pieces. He picked me up and flew to the tree, who was still trembling with fear. He covered my mouth with one hand, and hugged my waist tightly with the other. Their bodies were close together. His breath was blown on my face. I turned my face away, while he was looking at the person intently. At that time, he was only a thirteen-year-old boy. Under the moonlight, his skin was white like jade, his red hair was like brocade, his red eyes were like wine, and he was so handsome that I seemed a little drunk. The man at the bottom was just a night watchman. He let out a sigh of relief, only to realize that I was staring at him in a daze, so he yelled fiercely in my ear: "What are you looking at? I have red hair and red eyes. So what, you, a servant, dare to look at me like that?" It is really impolite to stare at people like this, and in that era, the treatment of foreign guests was not as high as it is now. It is easy to misunderstand that I am a superficial woman. I rubbed my ears and smiled: "I'm sorry Fourth Master Jue, I'm a slave Disrespectful, this servant just thinks Fourth Master Jue's eyes are the color of wine, very beautiful." "Wine? How could you, a servant, have seen the wine that was tributed from the Western Regions?" He looked at me suspiciously, but his expression improved a lot. Wine was extremely precious in that era, and only those who paid tribute to the Western Regions could taste it. I smiled again, and was about to explain, when I suddenly found a tear in his skirt, which must have been pulled just now. Needlework, to be honest, my needlework is definitely not comparable to Jinxiu, but compared with the previous life, I still have made great progress. Unexpectedly, fourth master Jue leaned back, and his alertness flashed: "What do you want to do?" I put my hands in the air, a little embarrassed, I laughed a few times: "I want to mend the skirt for the young master." I still stretched it out, but he hid back: "There is nothing to be courteous, it is either rape or robbery, you man , do you want to assassinate me?" Ah!Does he really think that he is now the prince, or a high-ranking official in Zhongnanhai?I assassinate you, me? "Fourth Master Jue, don't go there..." I shouted anxiously, but unfortunately he stepped back: "You must have been sent by the big house to kill me, otherwise, you have no shame if a man and a woman don't kiss each other... " "Ah!" He finally fell down the tree. In fact, what I want to remind him is that branch, which is not very strong. I just climbed it to pick Sophora japonica flowers for Biying the day before yesterday, but he always looks at me shamelessly. On the one hand, I heard that he is not interested in Han Chinese poetry and etiquette, but he learned this very quickly. His qinggong is naturally good, he didn't fall too much, but there is a quagmire below, I have been tricked before, alas!The so-called don't listen to the old man's words, you will suffer in front of your eyes. I slowly used my strength to jump down, and sure enough he got up covered in mud, and stared at me strangely, I suppressed a smile: "Fourth Master Jue, it's getting late, if a man and a woman don't kiss each other, then I won't give it away." I turned around and left, but he grabbed me, "What's your name, I've never seen a girl as bold as you before, could it be that you are Hua Jinxiu?" I was stunned for a moment: "Why am I Hua Jinxiu?" Everyone seems to know that Jinxiu of my family has purple pupils, right?It's getting dark now, but I can see that he is Jiu Mou, and he should also be able to see that I am authentic black eyes!Could it be that he is not only a road idiot like in the legend, but also colorblind? He seemed a little disappointed, "Then what's your name?" "Fourth Master Jue wants to know what my name is." I gently broke free from his arm without any trace, and then suddenly looked panicked: "Han, Mr. Han." I called him the time to turn around, and ran away in a hurry. The second time I saw him was already a month later. His faded satin robe was scratched in several places, and a green leaf was still stained on his hair. He looked haggard. I guess he got lost in Xifeng Wan again overnight. . Under the sun, the little girls and I were enjoying the cherry blossoms. We were chattering, but we dared not make a sound when we saw him. Dozens of wonderful eyes watched him pass under the cherry blossom tree with a cold face. He neither looked at us nor Don't look up and take a look at the tree full of beauty. I was hesitating, but he passed me by without seeing him. I thought he had forgotten the meeting that night, but he suddenly turned his head and said, "It's you, I remember the fragrance of acacia flowers on your body." The other girls walked away in fright, only me and him were left. I smiled and pointed to the cherry blossoms on the tree: "Fourth Master Jue, how well do you think the green plums are growing this year?" Nodding, staring at my face intently: "What's your name?" I suddenly realized that he was not a road idiot, but had a serious problem with his eyes.
