Chapter 3 Chapter two

After that day, although I thought I didn't say anything out of line, I was still worried about it, but after three days passed, seeing nothing happened, my heart gradually returned to its normal state.Just remind yourself that you must be cautious in your words and deeds in the future.My sister is not favored, I can't cause trouble for her anymore! After taking a nap at noon, I went to say hello to my elder sister. Seeing that the maids and women around me looked happy, my elder sister's face was pale, and I couldn't help asking: "What's wrong?" But he took it back again, astringently.Qiaohui happily replied: "The young man next to my master just came over to spread the word that my father is coming to have dinner tonight." I didn't know what to say for a while, so I just sat in silence.Seeing that I didn't speak, my elder sister thought I was afraid, so she smiled and said, "It's nothing important." Then she turned to Dong Yun and said, "I'll dress up for you later, although it's a normal family banquet tonight, today is It's the first time a girl sees her master, etiquette is absolutely indispensable."

I don't know how to comb hair, thrush eyebrows, and dress in ancient times, so let the girls talk about it, and I'll just be a puppet obediently.But he was never idle for a moment, thinking that before coming here, in the Qing palace dramas he had seen, the Eighth Prince had always been Yongzheng's deadly enemy.The person who can make Yongzheng an opponent and hate him so much that he can't sleep or eat is definitely not ordinary.I began to look forward to the evening in my heart, feeling like I was going to meet my idol, and it was a face-to-face private meeting. I wriggled on the stool, it was a pain to be dressed like this.It was too early for dinner, but the eighth elder brother didn't come, and the freshness at the beginning gradually disappeared, and he couldn't sit still anymore. He stood up, snatched the fan from the girl, and slammed it violently. My sister frowned. Said: "Where is it so hot?" I fanned and said, "If I don't come again, I will go back and change clothes. It's a real pain!" Before the words fell, I saw the curtain was raised, and the three of them came in a file. Entering, the twenty-two or three-year-old walking in front, tall and tall, wearing a moon-white robe, a green belt around his waist, and a jade pendant of the same color.The face is like beautiful jade, and the eyes are like bright stars.I secretly praised, although this eighth elder brother looks a bit feminine, but he is still a handsome man.

When he saw me, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes, his expression slightly changed, and he returned to normal in an instant, turning his eyes to look at his sister with a smile on his lips.At this moment, all the maids and servants in the room had already bowed down, and I just realized that, and hurriedly bent down too, alas, I don't seem to be used to the custom of bowing back and forth. He helped his elder sister up with a smile, and said, "Let's all get up!" He smiled and said to his elder sister: "Some things are delayed. Later, I have something to discuss with the ninth and tenth brothers, so I came here together. Because it was a whim, So I didn't notify you."

The elder sister smiled and said, "It's not an urgent matter." After the eighth elder brother, the ninth elder brother, and the tenth elder brother were all seated, the girl waited to wipe their face and wash their hands, and the elder sister turned around and went out to order the eunuch outside to pass on the meal.I stood by and thought to myself, sister!How did you forget me?Ninth elder brother was expressionless, tenth elder brother still looked like a ruffian, he glanced at me from time to time since he entered the door, and eighth elder brother smiled at the corner of his mouth, as if he was a little tired, and squinted his eyes slightly.My sister turned around and came in, smiling and said: "It's time to eat." Eighth elder brother nodded, then opened his eyes, looked at me and asked with a smile, "Is this Ruoxi? A few days ago, you were said to be in poor health. Are you better?" I replied, "It's almost better!" The eighth elder brother smiled and said, "Your body is just right, don't stand up, sit down!" I glanced at my sister and saw that she didn't respond, so I sat down .

During the banquet, the eighth elder brother laughed and chatted with his sister from time to time, the ninth elder brother ate silently, but the tenth elder brother, maybe I happened to sit diagonally opposite him, he was looking at me with a smile while eating , Appetite looks excellent.I didn't have much appetite because of the hot weather, and he kept staring at me like this, which made it even harder for me to swallow.I thought to myself, am I a "beautiful appetizer" to him? I peeked around and saw that no one was paying attention, so I immediately raised my eyes and stared back fiercely. Elder Brother Ten was eating and staring happily. When I stared at him unexpectedly, he froze immediately, with the chopsticks in his mouth, he forgot Take it out.I stared at him for a few seconds, and felt ridiculous looking at his stupid appearance, pursed my lips and smiled, then bowed my head and went to eat.When I lowered my head, I glanced inadvertently, and found that my sister, the eighth elder brother and the ninth elder brother were all looking at me.My heart skipped a beat, and I didn't dare to look up again. I quickly ate two mouthfuls, but then I choked again. I leaned on the edge of the table and coughed while covering my mouth.Hearing Elder Brother Shi laughing, but I didn't dare to look at him anymore, I pretended to be nonchalant, rinsed my mouth, and then ate, only feeling my face was hot.

Under the big tree not far from the lake, I was reading Song Ci with my back against the big tree.Yesterday, my sister and I specially asked for Song Ci.Because I used to prefer Song Ci and memorized a lot, I can recognize a lot of traditional Chinese characters by reading the two. Thinking about it, I also studied hard for sixteen years in modern times, and I considered myself an intellectual woman, but when I came here, I became semi-literate.The day before yesterday, because the eunuch who was usually in charge of correspondence was not around, I volunteered to read letters to my sister, but I didn’t recognize half of the letters.In my voice, what, what, the letter has not been finished yet, my sister has already smiled softly on the couch, "You said that you want to read the letter, I thought I hadn't seen you in a few years, but I have grown up. Unexpectedly, I have indeed improved a little bit. What are you going to use to replace the words you don’t know?” My sister laughed too hard, and it took a long time to finish speaking a short sentence on and off.I was also ashamed and annoyed to stay there, and immediately decided, no, I want to take off the hat of illiteracy and be determined to be an intellectual woman!

Thinking of this, I couldn't help laughing at myself. Fortunately, I fell into this young lady's body, so I don't have to worry about food and clothing, otherwise I'm afraid I'm a person who can't lift my hands or shoulders.Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a few ants in the grass. I suddenly remembered digging out ant holes when I was a child.I took a twig to block the ant and refused to let it go. After two steps, I pushed it back, and after two steps, I pushed it back again. I was giggling, when I suddenly felt the sound of panting in my ears, I turned my head and saw Elder Brother Ten squatting next to me and looking at the ants, I glared at him, then saw that there was a pair of boots beside me, and followed the boots Looking up, I was looking into the eyes of Shangba elder brother who seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and hurriedly stood up to say hello.The tenth elder brother stood up from the ground, looked exhausted, smiled and said to the eighth elder brother: "Looking at the appearance of the ghost girl, why should I be a good thing! It seems that I think highly of her." My heart I think it may not be an honor to let you look up to me.

Brother Eight smiled and asked, "Where are you reading Song Ci?" I glanced at the book lying on the floor, "Yes!" Brother Ten interjected, "I'm looking at ants, just pretending to be reading for others to read." I looked at him from the side, but he was only seventeen or eighteen, and he became an uncle in front of me.He replied: "Don't you know 'one flower, one world, one tree, one bodhi'? I'm looking at ants, but they're not ants." He was a little stunned, not knowing how to answer, and looked at the eighth brother.The eighth elder brother smiled and nodded, "Old Ten, you have to study hard!" He smiled and asked me: "Do you read Buddhist scriptures?" I hurriedly replied: "It's just that my sister read too much." He smiled, Turning to look at the lake, after a while, he said: "I read a lot!"

I pondered for a while, and saw that he was still smiling, and I couldn't tell what he meant, so I could only reply indifferently: "I just want to be calm." He didn't speak, just looked at the lake with a smile. Elder Brother Ten next to him waited for a long time, as if he couldn't get in the conversation, he was a little bored, went to pick up the book on the floor and asked, "You know all of these?" I looked at his provocative eyes and wanted to say, I know them all, but the truth is Put it there, I had to say, "I know! They know me, I don't know them, but we are getting to know each other." He burst into laughter again, I don't know why I feel a little bit when I see the ruffian of the tenth brother. Irritable, always say what comes to mind, without brain.The eighth elder brother smiled and asked: "Then how do you make yourself recognize them?" I thought for a while and said: "Guess for yourself!" The tenth elder brother laughed and said: "That's okay? We don't need to hire a husband, we can guess by ourselves That's it."

Eighth Brother sighed, shook his head and said, "Let's go!"Elder Brother Ten hurriedly threw the book back to me and chased after him. After walking a few steps, he turned around and asked me, "We're going for a walk in another courtyard, are you going?" Haven't been out of the courtyard yet!She ran forward rather obsequiously, "Can I go like this? And what does my sister say?" He said: "There's nothing you can't go here. Just find you a gentle old horse and let the boy lead it. As for your sister, what does it matter to me?" I wanted to stab him a few words, but I was thinking about this rare opportunity to go out, so I had to endure it.

It seemed that he was not walking fast, but I had to trot to keep up. I pretended to come up with a good idea and said, "My sister must listen to what Lord Babeile said." He glanced at me and said : "Then you go and talk to the starling!" I think I can hear the sound of my teeth grinding, why is this old ten the one who climbs up the ladder?Annoyed: "You invited me, you have to be responsible to the end, or I won't go!" He squinted at me, as if you wanted to go or not.I turned around and walked back, but he quickly grabbed me and said, "Okay! Oh, I'll go and talk, that's all right!" I just smiled at him, shook off his hand, and walked quickly with him. When they arrived at the door, the boys greeted them and said that the carriage was ready.The eighth elder brother didn't speak, and got into the carriage with his head leading the way, and the tenth elder brother also jumped up and got on.The boy who knelt on the ground and made me a pedal was only twelve or thirteen years old, with a childish look on his face.Staring at his back, but this foot is unwilling to step on his back no matter what. The tenth elder brother yelled in the carriage: "What are you dawdling for?" The eighth elder brother happened to sit on the opposite side, smiled, and stretched out his hand. Concentrate on climbing into the car.Brother Ten yelled "Trouble!" and moved in, motioning for me to sit next to him. I lay down at the window and kept looking out. The streets were bustling with people, there were many shops, and the carriages passed by. People took the initiative to give way to both sides, so although there were many people, the speed of the carriages was not very slow.I looked outside and said "huh", but after thinking about it, I understood again, so I just shook my head. Elder Brother Ten leaned out of the window and looked back for a while, then retracted, and asked me wonderingly, "What did you see just now?" I was taken aback, then smiled and said, "I won't tell you what I saw." outside the window.He looked at me bitterly and ignored me, but he couldn't hold back after a while, and asked again, "What were you doing just now?" I turned my head back, stared straight ahead, and ignored him.Brother Ten pushed me, and I said, "It's fine to tell you, but you have to give me some favors." He exclaimed: "Just ask what you saw, and I will give you benefits!" Don’t you pay when you’re here?” After I finished speaking, I opened the curtain and looked out.After a while, he felt something extra in his hand. When he saw it was a bank note, he said, "Can we talk about it?" I threw the note back to him, "Hmph!" "Then what do you want?" I laughed, I wanted to tease you, but I really didn't know what I wanted.Suddenly I remembered, "I can't remember what I want right now, so how about it, you just promise me one request in the future." Seeing that he was about to open his mouth, I continued, "There is absolutely nothing you can't do .Besides, if you, an elder brother, agree to the request of a little girl like me, what difficulty can there be?" He was a little unwilling, but finally smiled and said, "Okay! I promise you!" I clapped my hands and said with a smile, "Can you Remember, I have witnesses."After getting in the car, Eighth Prince kept his eyes closed and rested.Hearing what I said, he opened his eyes, glanced at Elder Brother Shi, smiled at me and said, "Remember, you can talk!" "Well, well!" I cleared my throat and said, "There were a lot of people on the street, but the carriage was running smoothly, and the passers-by we saw moved away from a long distance, but we didn't show that Lord Baylor was sitting in it. I was a little confused about what was going on, so I let out a sigh." "Then what about you shaking your head?" I continued, "I then thought, this kind of carriage is definitely not something ordinary people can ride in. This is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and so is Shengdou Xiaomin. You are very knowledgeable, so even if you don’t know who is sitting, you know that there is nothing wrong with giving way. As for shaking your head, it’s just because I think I’ve become a fox.” "Fox?" The tenth elder brother looked at me suspiciously, then turned to look at the eighth elder brother, the eighth elder brother smiled and said: "The fox is pretending to be a tiger", the tenth elder brother realized that he was about to laugh, but stopped again, and shouted: "That's it, it's just another request for me." I looked at his annoyed look, and I couldn't help it. I lowered my head and laughed, and when I looked up, I saw Brother Eight looking at Old Ten and laughing too.It's just that the smile this time seems to be very different from the past. I stare and think, where is it?The eighth elder brother turned his eyes to one side, and met my inquiring gaze. We just looked at each other quietly, and in the end I couldn't bear it anymore and lowered my head.I thought in my heart, it really is amazing, I am worthy of being a person who grew up with a playful mind. I think that when I stared at the boys in our class, no one dared to meet my sharpness.
