Chapter 10 chapter Ten

In the next few days, I didn't see Eighth Master and Thirteenth Master, but I only knew through Zixia that this was another courtyard of Eighth Master.The servants in the courtyard where he went these days all bowed and saluted, and he couldn't help but feel a little bit that he was still so caring. When I woke up in the morning, I found that the ground was damp, and the leaves of flowers, plants and trees were covered with crystal drops of water, shining brightly under the breeze.It may be that the light rain has cleared the dust in the air, and the air is fresh and cool.Closing my eyes and breathing in the moist air greedily, this kind of weather always makes me happy.Sweeping away the haze in my heart these days, I wore my favorite moon-white shirt with purple borders, traced my eyebrows in front of the mirror, and arranged my favorite hairstyle. After tossing for a while, I was finally satisfied with my outfit.

Zixia who pushed the door and walked in opened her small mouth slightly, she looked cute and cute, she walked over and scratched her little face and said, "Little girl, I don't recognize you." Zixia walked around me twice before stopping Said: "It's so beautiful." His eyes were full of envy, and he suddenly had an idea in his heart, so he smiled and said: "Sister Zixia, how about I dress you up too." Looking at Zixia's excited look, she was secretly proud, Women really love beauty. Looking at Zixia before and after taking photos twice, feeling that the time has come, she said: "Sister Zixia, do you want to go out for a stroll?" Suddenly, Zixia woke up from the intoxication, shook her head fiercely and said: " No, no, the lord knows that he will beat me to death..." Walking over and grabbing her hand, he said pitifully, "Did the lord tell you not to let me go out? Besides, the weather is like today, the lord won't come." Zixia turned her head and looked at her. Looking outside, his expression also changed from firm to hesitant.

Taking Zixia out excitedly, regardless of the surprised eyes of passers-by along the way, they just kept looking at the strange things on the roadside stalls.Suddenly seeing many people gathered at the corner of the rice store in front of him, he pulled Zixia up and hurried forward. On a gray blanket are large and small tea sets, clay, porcelain, bamboo and wood... A small drum-shaped leather sand pot came into view, and the body of the pot was shining with silver sand and full of vermilion grains. , carefully picked up the teapot, this is a two-person pot, I didn't expect this kind of Su pot treasure to be encountered here.After receiving the flat wooden board handed over by the old tea set seller, he carefully removed the lid of the pot and put the pot body upside down on the wooden board.

Feeling happy, he hurriedly asked the old man the price. The old man pointed to the place where the teapot was placed just now, and after a closer look, it turned out that the price was clearly marked. Although 200 taels is a little expensive, this kind of teapot is hard to come by. Listening to the onlookers talking, it seems that I have been cheated.Ignoring it, told the old man to wrap up the teapot, turned around and asked Zixia to pay the bill. Looking around, there was no trace of Zixia.I saw a man about twenty-five or six years old in the back, wearing a navy blue gown, with a straight figure, looking at me with a strange smile on his handsome face.Although he looks good, but I don't know him, so I turned my face and continued to look for Zixia.

I couldn't help but feel a little anxious, although I have been here for twenty years, after all, I have never walked outside alone.While yelling Zixia's name in her mouth, she squeezed out.The old man who had already packed the tea set hurriedly asked: "Girl, do you want this teapot?" Turning around and looking at it, although he felt reluctance in his heart, he had no choice but said reluctantly, "I don't have any money with me." I squeezed out amid the laughter of the crowd and the old man's chatter. Looking around all the way, panting and sweating profusely, she still couldn't find Zixia.I couldn't help but feel hot in my eyes, I felt someone pat me on the shoulder, turned around and shouted happily: "Zixia."

It was still the same man just now, where there was no trace of Zixia, he handed over a water bag and said, "Drink some water." He hesitated to take it, the man smiled and said, "I'm not a bad person, just now you dragged me hand?" Seeing that I was still puzzled, he continued: "I was the one you dragged just now. I wonder if you were separated from your family at that time. I followed you because you didn't seem to know the way, and I was worried that you wouldn't be able to go back. Home." After listening to his explanation, I was a little embarrassed, took a sip from the water bag and said, "Do you know how to get to Prince Lian's Mansion." No one in that other courtyard should know. Although Ba Ye was imprisoned, Prince Lian's Mansion There should be many people who know.

The man frowned slightly: "You are from the palace." Ignoring his reaction, he continued: "Please send me to Prince Lian's palace." After walking behind him for a long time, I finally saw the familiar door, which was closed tightly, and there were many guards standing in front of it.Standing at the intersection of the street and watching quietly, there is a stark contrast between the busy traffic in front of the gate in the past and the deserted pommel horse in front of the current gate.It seems that no matter how the times change, one thing remains the same, and that is people's attitude towards power.The reason why people embrace the powerful is not to embrace the powerful, but to embrace the power; nodding and bowing to the powerful is not to respect others, but to fear power.If power is separated from people, then this person will not be the same person before. Thinking of this, I secretly sighed in my heart.

The wide road in front of the gate was no longer as clean as it used to be. Looking along the road to the lake opposite the mansion, a girl dressed in black stood under the poplar tree by the lake, her eyes fixed on the mansion. door.I saw that the girl was about twenty years old, she was extremely beautiful, but there was a serious coldness in her beautiful eyes, and even a trace of hatred.Unable to be attracted by her, he moved to prepare to go over. The man who had been silent all this time suddenly said: "Are you from this mansion?" He nodded slowly, then shook his head, my sister has been resigned from the imperial status, how can I be from this mansion.Following my gaze, the man also spotted the woman in black. He took the lead to walk over to the woman in black and said, "Junior Sister, you are here again."

Looking at me behind the man, the woman in black said: "Who is she?" The man said: "A lost girl..." There was a sound of horseshoes coming from behind, and he hurriedly turned around to look. A carriage stopped at the entrance of the palace.Immediately after, Li Fu had already walked out quickly, and a person got out of the carriage, and after a closer look, it turned out to be Zixia, and he shouted happily: "Zixia." Hearing the sound, Zixia turned her head and rushed towards me, hugged me tightly and cried: "Miss, why are you here? We have been looking for you for a long time." Gently patted Zixia, then Bian Li Fu has already come over, and he called me a thousand times: "Miss, go back quickly."

In response, he moved up and was about to leave. The man stepped forward and said, "Girl, this is the tea set you fancy just now." Only then did he realize that he had been holding a package in his hand. He thanked Zixia and told Zixia to pay. , Li Fu over there has already taken out the bank note and handed it into the man's hand. I got in the carriage and went to the other courtyard. Zixia complained incessantly along the way that she shouldn't take me out. Seeing me leaning on the cushion and not making a sound, she thought I was frightened, so she stopped making a sound.Quietly thinking about the woman I saw just now, I have never seen this woman in Ba Ye's mansion, what is the reason for the hatred in her eyes?Why does she often go to the gate of the palace?Puzzled.

Sitting in the courtyard, looking at the dancing candlelight on the small table, I feel a little dazed, should I just go on like this?How can I go back to the garden?Tell Baye directly, will he agree? Thinking of this, I couldn't help feeling a little regretful, I should let Li Fu pass on a message today.Sighing, I picked up the teacup and took a sip, looking up at the endless night sky, no moon, no stars, just like my current mood, it was all gloomy. Putting down the teacup, he sighed heavily again, and was about to get up to pack the tea set, when he suddenly heard the sound of slight footsteps, looked sideways, and hurriedly got up to salute. Eighth Master and Fourteen stood in front of me, Eighth Master glanced at the tea set on the table and said: "That's why." He was taken aback for a moment, then understood what he meant, and said, "Yes, because slaves like this very much. A tea set, if you don’t pay attention, you will get separated from Zixia.” After hearing this, Ba Ye smiled faintly, and said fourteenth: "Xiaowen, do you want to go back to the garden?" After finishing speaking, he stared at me quietly, feeling happy in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Thank you, my lord, for your completion." A solemn blessing. Eighth Master and Fourteenth looked at each other, Eighth Master's face was determined, and Fourteenth's brows were slightly frowned.I have been dazzled by the news of returning to the garden, and I have lost my usual calmness.At this moment, I can only imagine the meeting with Yinzhen in my mind, how can I understand their expressions. Ba Ye said: "From now on, live the life you want, and don't worry about too many unnecessary people and things." After that, he turned around and left, stopped at the gate of the courtyard but did not turn around and said: "Tomorrow Fourteenth Brother will send you your." Think carefully about what Ba Ye said, did he recognize me, why did he say such a thing.Looking up at Shisi, I found that he was also looking at me with stern eyes. His eyes met, and he didn't dodge. In the end, Shisi was a bit outmatched. No other woman dares to look at a man like that." After speaking, he sat down on the chair I had just sat on and said, "Won't you buy me a cup of tea?" I moved another chair out of the room, and both of them sipped their tea silently without making a sound. With the rhythmic bang of the carriage, Sisi next to him leaned on the cushion and slowly closed his eyes, opened the curtain and looked at the dark sky, the joy in his heart increased little by little as the distance shortened, We should see him after the morning pilgrimage. "Are you really so happy?" I don't know when Shisi opened his eyes, his face became hot, he was a little embarrassed, he was too excited, and he didn't realize that Shishi hadn't slept at all.Seeing that I didn't answer, Fourteen continued: "No matter who you are, as long as you have difficulties in the future, you can come to me. Although we are not as good as before, we still have the ability to protect a woman." Feeling moved in his heart, he asked, "Is it also because of Ruoxi?" Fourteen remained silent for a while before saying, "That's what I owe her. I made her last wish come true." Fourteen is still brooding over Ruoxi's failure to see Yinzhen for the last time, and he doesn't know how to comfort him, and he doesn't know how to make him stop worrying about this matter, a sudden burst of self-blame in his heart, as if All Shisi's grief came from himself.The words blurted out: "If Ruoxi is not dead, then she will understand you; if Ruoxi is dead, if she really wants to see the person she loves before she dies, it proves that she has never given up and never let go. Let her see her, she will only go more reluctantly and sadder." Shisi listened to my words in a daze, with a look of disbelief, and said to me, "Does she really not blame me?" I said firmly, "I won't blame you." I don't know if my consolation can make Fourteen feel relieved, but it can only go so far.The servant driving the carriage in front said softly outside the curtain: "Master, Prince Yi's carriage has arrived." Fourteenth woke up from his contemplation and said, "Miss Waiting, please come here." I looked at Fourteen quietly, feeling like I had a five-flavored bottle in my heart. I couldn't tell what kind of feeling it was. Maybe after this time, I would never see each other again in this life.Seeing me like this, Shisi smiled and said: "Don't look at a man like this in the future, get out of the carriage." He got out of the carriage with the help of a servant, and saw Shisan was already beside the carriage. Get on the carriage, this is the only way to enter the Old Summer Palace, and now it's time to go to the morning court, and Shisi can't show up in front of others, so he hurried to Shisan's carriage. After a while, Shisan picked up the curtain and got into the car. He didn't ask any questions after getting in the car, but just looked at me quietly, and I said, "My lord, if you want to ask, just ask." Shisan said, "I can still trust you." Is it?" Still so frank, I smiled and said: "Don't you have the answer in your heart." Thirteen said: "Don't let me down."
