Chapter 6 chapter Five

The sky is completely dark, and the palace lanterns are lit up one after another. Although they are not as bright as electric lights, the beauty of "seeing flowers in the fog" is reflected in the hazy.Everyone gathered downstairs, Qiaohui and I were the only ones sitting upstairs, and sweet laughter came from downstairs.I leaned against the window, casually watching the maids and servants below busy, chatting with Qiaohui casually. Qiaohui called out in a low voice: "Miss!" I turned to look at her with a "huh", but saw her standing behind respectfully with her head lowered, I turned back to look across in doubt.I saw the fourth elder brother and the eighth elder brother standing side by side at the window.Looking through the window, the faces of the two flickered between the flickering and flickering of the candle.I stood up subconsciously, thinking to myself, these jade-like handsome men stand side by side today, but one day they will face each other with arms.Although facing the beautiful scenery on a good day, a trace of sadness emerges from my heart.Qiaohui tugged at my sleeve from behind, only to realize that I was just staring at the opposite side.He hurriedly squeezed a smile out, and bent down to pay his respects.The two people on the opposite side raised their hands at the same time, and I slowly got up.Standing sideways beside Qiaohui.

A servant walked quickly to the eighth elder brother and said something in a low voice, and the eighth elder brother said a few more words to the fourth elder brother.The fourth elder brother nodded, and the two went down one after the other.After a while, the servant girl said it was time to start the banquet. I asked, "Isn't the prince here yet?" She smiled and replied, "Just now the prince sent someone to say that he just finished his work and needs to change his clothes first." Come on, tell everyone not to wait any longer, let's start the table!" I nodded and followed her downstairs.

I was at the same table with two little girls who were about my age.When I arrived, the two were talking and laughing, and they bowed to each other to see me.After I sat down, I looked around and saw that the table in the middle of the front was empty, and I guessed it was reserved for the prince.On the left side are the eighth, ninth, tenth, and fourteenth princes, and on the right side are the fourth, eleventh, twelveth, and thirteenth princes. An eunuch was holding a wooden tray, draped in red satin, and put a playlist on it. He was standing by the fourth elder brother's table. In the previous reply, Elder Brother Shi just nodded without saying a word, picked up the playbill, took a quick look, took the pen, ticked it off, and handed it back to the eunuch.Only then did the eunuch turn back to the fourth elder brother's table, and the fourth elder brother also ticked it.The little eunuch held the plate and asked Eighth Brother to order a play, Eighth Brother waved his hand and let him go down.

After a while, the stage was already babbling and singing.At this time, Peking Opera had not yet been born, and Kunqu opera was sung.It's a pity that after more than 300 years, Kunqu opera is no longer so popular, and all I know are the few very famous ones, plus "Magu Blessing Birthday" which I just learned with Dong Yun last night.But after looking at the costumes, I also knew that this show was "Wu Song Fighting the Tiger", and secretly thought that it was a play by Brother Ten, just for fun.As soon as Wu Song was riding on the tiger and raised his fist to punch, an eunuch shouted loudly: "The prince is here!" All of a sudden, everyone on and off the stage fell to the ground. , a man with a handsome face came slowly.

As everyone got up, they sat back at the table.The eunuch brought over the playlist again, and the prince said loudly: "Today is the birthday of the tenth younger brother, let the birthday star order first!" The tenth elder brother stood up and replied: "The first order has already been ordered, and we will wait for the second brother to order. "The prince took the list and looked at it carefully. Now I don't know what is being sung above, but the two girls next to me are very engrossed. A few elder brothers chatted and laughed from time to time, and didn't drink much.But from the tenth elder brother down, the wine is poured down like water.Elder Brother Ten and several elder brothers stood at Brother Thirteen's table and asked him to drink, but he did not refuse, just raised his glass and did it.After finishing the work, he said loudly: "We need to toast a few more glasses to the birthday stars tonight." All the elder brothers toasted to the tenth elder brother again!I thought to myself that it really set me on fire.

I was full after eating, and the show on the stage was changed, but I still didn't know what I was singing.Seeing Elder Brother Ten get up and leave the table.In a blink of an eye, my sister was watching a play while talking to another Fujin.So I got up and followed Elder Brother Ten.Qiaohui wanted to accompany me, so I said, "You just wait here, and I'll come back as soon as I go." A little eunuch in front led the way with a lantern, and Elder Brother Ten was walking crookedly. Three, other people are still refreshed, but he is already quite drunk.It was only when he saw the room in front that he realized that he was going to take a urinate.I hurriedly turned around and walked outside for a while and waited.

After a while, the little eunuch came out with him.Seeing me standing there, he took two steps up and asked, "What are you doing here?" I said, "Here is a gift for the birthday boy!" Glancing at the little eunuch next to him, he ordered: "You go back first!" The eunuch tied himself up and went. I walked in the lead, Elder Brother Ten followed behind, and asked again: "Where is Li?" I ignored him and walked on my own, and he followed me into the waterside pavilion by the lake.It’s not too far from the stage, where the lights are bright, and people on the stage can be seen, but opera can only be heard faintly, after all, there is no sound system now.I stood still, pointed to the wooden bench connected to the railing, and said to Elder Brother Ten, "Sit there!" He looked confused and a little impatient, but he went over and sat down against the railing.Facing him, I greeted him earnestly.There are no lights in the water pavilion, only a half moon in the sky, he is sitting in the dark, I can't see his face clearly.I only heard him ask: "Isn't your gift just to say hello?" I cleared my throat and sang softly:

... Shou Xiang Teng Shou Zhu Ying Gao,  Jade Cup Shoujiu increase longevity test. Shouguo Longevity Peach, May I be as blessed as the East China Sea and live longer than Nanshan. Qinglu Yuzhi is auspicious grass, Qi wishes Su Yagao. The painting hall birthday is noisy,  Shouji consolidates Shoujian.  Jingshou is continuous and happy,  Everyone laughed at the birthday banquet. . As soon as the ending sound fell, I heard the sound of clapping outside the waterside pavilion. "I said where did Brother Ten go? It turns out that there is a small stage set up here." Elder Fourteen clapped his hands as he entered the water pavilion, followed by Elder Thirteen with a smile on his face.I invited Ann, and I was a little embarrassed for a while, not knowing what to say.The tenth elder brother did not refute it very abnormally, but stood up and said: "The smell of alcohol is a bit high, so sit down and go back!" The fourteenth elder brother walked around me, looked up and down and said: "When will you sing it for me?" I was a little angry when he saw it, "On the birthday of Master Fourteen, if you don't dislike it, I will definitely sing it." He laughed twice, and wanted to say something else, brother ten But he said in a tight voice: "Fourteenth brother!" The fourteenth brother hurriedly waved his hands and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, okay! Let's go!" The three of them left the water pavilion one after another.I sat down and thought what is this?

After sitting for a while, thinking that if she didn't go back, Qiaohui must be in a hurry, so she got up and walked back.Looking at the singing and dancing in front of him, his heart was desolate.I felt that it was a bigger stage, and I was a theatergoer.It's a tragedy, if you don't feel emotional, then it's fine to watch it, but now I can watch the drama, empathize with it, but I can't help it. I was walking slowly with my head down, when suddenly a voice shouted: "Have you got eyes? Hit someone." I was startled, stopped quickly, and looked up, it was Mingyu Gege from Guo Luoluo's family, standing prettyly About ten paces ahead of me, a little girl followed behind me.I didn't have the mood to pay attention to her, and wanted to walk past her quickly, but she took two steps to block me.Said sarcastically: "What a 'savage', there are no rules." I took a step sideways, trying to go around her, and she also took a step sideways with me, still standing in front of me.Annoyed, I raised my head and stared at her, trying to see what she was up to.She smiled triumphantly and said, "I heard that you broke your brain." I also laughed and said, "Some people don't need to fall, and their brains have already been broken." A savage without a mother!" I stared at her and said with a smile: "Some people have mothers, but they are not as good as a savage!" She was a little anxious, and the more anxious she was, the more funny I felt, what a joke Little girl, these two sentences are also worth worrying about.I think back then when I quarreled with my deskmate, we had no taboos for vulgarity, and we had to laugh more calmly and happily while cursing, so that the effect would be better.Seeing me looking at her with a smile, she suddenly blurted out: "Just like your sister, you are a lowly bastard with no manners!"

It's nothing to call me cheap, it's just an elementary word in my curse dictionary.But my sister can't.From the time I first opened my eyes in this world, my sister's caring, caring, caring, loving and petting pets have trickled into my blood little by little. She is the person I care about the most in this time and space!My only relative!I stared at her coldly: "Where did you hear it?" She looked at me anxiously, with a hint of complacency, "It doesn't matter where I heard it from, it's just a slut anyway," she said in a loud voice intentionally drawn out.I slapped it with a "slap".The little maid rushed up to help her, and shouted: "Ge Ge", she covered her face and looked at me with a look of disbelief.I still stared at her, and asked in a cold voice, "Where did you hear that?" She suddenly pushed the servant girl away and rushed over to slap me.It's a pity that I am 25 years old, but my body is 13 years old.So the following scene can be described with the word 'horrific'.

Ever seen girls fight?It's just grabbing, pinching, scratching, digging, twisting, and pulling hair.Because our feet were piercing the bottom of the flowerpot, we also used 'bite' when we fell to the ground and wrestled.I only heard the little girl next to me crying "Ge Ge, Ge Ge". She tried to separate us, but she didn't know how to pull the two women who were wrestling on the ground.In the end, she was only heard shouting: "Come on, come on!" The eunuchs and servant girls came one after another and shouted: "Stop beating, stop beating!" It's a pity that the two delicate masters on the ground beat each other. Zhenghuan, where to listen.They didn't dare to exert great force, for fear of hurting anyone, it would be difficult to explain. It was not far away from the banquet, but finally the prince's brothers, Fu Jin and Gege, were alarmed. The younger brothers ran fast and came quickly, and the big brothers and the prince also followed. The female relatives One walked slowly, and the other was farther away, so they came late.The thirteenth and fourteenth elder brothers came first, the eighth elder brother, the ninth elder brother followed, and the tenth elder brother ran over wobbly because he was not stable.Fourth elder brother, the prince is more reserved, so he walks slowly. Before the fourteen people arrived, the voice came first and shouted: "What are you doing, don't stop!" Thirteen also shouted: "Stop!" But who listened to him?Let's go!No way, Thirteen and Fourteen had no choice but to come over quickly and prepare to pull. Suddenly there was a "plop", and everyone screamed in unison.It turned out that the place where the two of us fought was by the lake, and now we were rolling all over the ground and wrestling together. We lost our heads early, and fell into the lake after rolling several times. When I first fell into the lake, I was still a little happy, thinking that I had passed the 200-meter breaststroke test in college.But then I realized I was wrong.Stepping on the bottom of a flowerpot, wearing a beautiful palace dress, wearing a heavy headgear, plus there is a person holding my clothes tightly and moving around, there is no essential difference between me and me who can't swim.I had no choice but to hold my breath and wait for someone to rescue me, thinking that it should be soon.But time seems to pass very slowly, I feel that my chest is already very stuffy, and I am getting more and more nervous.Just when I felt that it was no longer possible, I felt a person sticking to my back, holding me through my armpit, and the hand holding my clothes was also pulled away, and then slowly surfaced.As soon as I got out of the water, I started to gasp for air.After landing on the shore, I found that it was Elder Brother Thirteen who was holding me.The fourteenth elder brother was holding Mingyu Gege and climbing ashore. She probably choked on water, her eyes were closed tightly, and her body was motionless.Although I am better than her, I am also weak, and I fell to the ground limply, leaning against Elder Thirteen's arms and only gasping for breath.Elder Brother Ten rushed up, pulled me and asked, "Is there anything wrong?" I shook my head weakly.Mingyu Gege was already shouting and shouting. I saw them pressing her stomach desperately, and thought to myself, if it’s really impossible, I still have to go there and give her artificial respiration?Just as she was thinking, seeing her spit out a few mouthfuls of water, she slowly opened her eyes. My sister just arrived at this time, saw me sitting on the ground, rushed forward, just modeled me, my hands were shaking, I comforted her and said: "I'm fine, I'm fine!" After she was sure that I was safe, she stood up , and rushed to Mingyu Gege to check.Qiaohui and Dongyun came over, took me from Brother Thirteen's arms, helped me stand up, and wrapped me up with a cloak.The eighth elder brother had a stern face without even a trace of a smile, and the little maid beside Mingyu Gege was bowing her head to answer.The fourth elder brother and the prince stood aside speechless.Mingyu Gege on that side regained her strength, pushed away her elder sister with all her might, sat on the ground and began to cry loudly.My sister staggered and fell to the ground.Seeing that I was struggling to break away from Qiaohui, I rushed over, and my sister shouted sharply: "What do you want?"My sister asked loudly: "What's going on?" I stood there wrapped in a cloak, glanced contemptuously at Mingyu Gege on the ground, and said "huh" without speaking.The elder sister turned to Mingyu again and said softly: "Don't cry, be careful of hurting yourself. If Xi bullied you, tell me, I will make decisions for you." She took out a silk to wipe her tears.She opened her sister's hand fiercely and cried out, "You all bully me, you are all..." I yelled sharply, "Say one more word!" She stared at me fiercely, and I also Staring at her in a very lunar calendar, comparing my momentum with me?She finally swallowed the words back, opened her mouth and wanted to cry again, I stepped forward two steps and shouted: "Don't cry!" She sat on the ground and looked up at me with her mouth open.Obviously, I have never seen such a generous master, and I was a little frightened. But she was not the only one who was stupid on the spot. My sister, ten, thirteen, and fourteen were all a little shocked. The fourth elder brother, the eighth elder brother, and the prince also looked at me quietly. .In the end, the prince chuckled twice and said: "I didn't expect the thirteenth brother to have a girl here!" Only then did everyone react, and Mingyu Gege continued to cry.My sister looked at me bitterly and asked Qiaohui Dongyun to help me go back.I am busy taking care of Mingyu Gege.
