Chapter 7 Chapter Six

It has been five days since that sunset.But no matter whether I am low-key, gentle and pitiful, or pretend to be crazy and stupid, my sister won't talk to me.The girls in the house also came and went quietly in everything, and everyone thought I was an 'invisible person'.I thought to myself that I would automatically ground my feet in the house, and I could not get forgiveness in exchange, so I simply went out. Walking along the way, I just felt that the eunuchs, servants, maids and servants I met on the road didn't look right, and treated me a little more respectful and careful than usual.I don't care much either.Still dangling in the garden.Seeing the tenth and fourteenth elder brothers from a distance, they hurriedly chased after them.

When they turned around and saw it was me, they were all taken aback and just looked at me.I also tilted my head and looked back at them in a daze.Finally, Fourteen 'Puchi' smiled and said, "What do you look like?" I cracked my mouth and said, "It looks like a broken jar!" Elder Brother Shi said grinningly, "I thought you were treating me like that!" It's fierce enough, now it seems that he was very good to me before!" Fourteen shook his head and sighed with a smile, "I thought she was a beautiful woman when I first saw it!" I asked, "What about now?" At that time, the most distinguished young masters and ladies in Beijing were probably present, and there will always be someone to publicize my deeds for me.The corners of his mouth tightened, and he said, "I can guess it." He smiled and said, "These days, all the princes and buddies in the Forbidden City are talking about 'Desperate Thirteen Sisters'!" I said "ah", and he continued. : "Even Huang Ama jokingly asked Brother Thirteen, 'When did you recognize a girl?'" I covered my mouth in disbelief, and stared at Brother Fourteen with wide eyes.I thought, my God!Even Kangxi knows me.Seeing my reaction, Shisi laughed more and more happily.

Just as I was laughing, I saw a little eunuch rushing over, wiped the sweat from his brow, came forward to say hello, then bowed to me and said: "I found you after looking around the garden for a few times! My lord said he wanted to see you, Waiting in the study!" I thought to myself that the result of the trial would finally be announced.I feel apprehensive.It's not that I'm afraid of what he will do to me, but I'm afraid that my sister will be involved.The tenth elder brother saw my worried face, and said harshly: "Now you know I'm afraid?" The fourteenth elder brother suppressed his smile, and said softly, "Don't be afraid! I will intercede for you." I looked at him in surprise , he smiled slightly, and I whispered: "Thank you then!"

When we went in, Brother Ba was sitting at the desk writing.I only nodded to Elder Brother Ten and Fourteen, without even looking at me, and continued to write with my head down.Brother Ten and Brother Fourteen found chairs and sat down.I stood motionless in the middle, lowered my head and thought, another one came who regarded me as an 'invisible person'. After a while, the tenth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother all finished a cup of tea.The eighth elder brother just put down the pen, sealed what he wrote, and said to the eunuch next to him: "Pass the notebook directly to the official department." The eunuch packed the things and went away.The eighth elder brother took a sip of tea, and said to the tenth and fourteenth elder brothers: "What do you think of the impeachment of Chang Shou this morning to appease the Guangdong pirate Abao?" The tenth elder brother shouted: "What do you think? How can we be soft on these pirates who are rampant in the sea? If we don’t kill one to make an example, the rest will be even more rampant!”

The eighth elder brother ignored him, just looked at the fourteenth elder brother.Fourteen thought for a while and said: "Although Huang Ama didn't say anything, I guess he had made up his mind long ago. I'm afraid he was applauding Chang Shilang for doing so. The surrounding waters are very familiar, and everyone is considered a hero! Recruiting them as soldiers not only strengthens the strength of the sea soldiers, but also makes other pirates fearful, and raises our Qing Dynasty's prestige, knowing that anyone who has the ability is willing to serve the country , Huang Ama will give him a chance." The eighth elder brother nodded after listening.I didn't listen to what they said later, I just thought about it, politics and tactics!Then I stand, stand, stand...

It was already dark, and an eunuch came in and asked if it was time to prepare meals.The eighth elder brother laughed and said: "I was so busy talking, I forgot the time! It's so late, it's hard for you to go back. If you have nothing to do, you can have a meal here!" The tenth and fourteenth elder brothers all laughed agreed.The eunuch took the words and turned to go out. Brother Ba looked at me, tapped the table with his fingers, and still had a smile on his face.The room was quiet, only the low sound of knocking on the table was heard.I still stood still with my head down, thanks to the strict military training back then, I just stood like this for more than two hours.The eighth elder brother turned to the tenth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother and said with a smile: "You go first! I'll be there soon!" After the two stood up, the fourteenth elder brother went straight, but the tenth elder brother said aloud "Let's go together!" The eighth elder brother gave him a deep look with a smile, and said, "Aren't you leaving?" The tenth elder brother glanced at me, and finally left.

The eighth elder brother asked the eunuchs in the house to also retreat.Then walked up to me and stood still.I just felt an invisible pressure that made me almost unsteady.Looking down at his shoes, my heart was beating 'thump, thump', my mind was going back and forth, but I didn't know what I was thinking.After a long time, he whispered: "Raise your head!" I was unwilling to do so, but I didn't have the guts, so I obediently raised my head slowly.Neck, chin, mouth, nose, finally met his eyes.Like a deep lake, it seems clear but you can't see the bottom. I wanted to turn my eyes away, but for some reason I didn't move, I just watched.

He looked calm, staring at me with a trace of inquiry, as if looking for something from my face.I don't know how long it took, maybe a second, maybe an hour.A smile gradually escaped from the corner of his mouth, and then the smile slowly spread to his face, and finally his eyes were full of smiles.But I felt that I really couldn't stand anymore, and I couldn't help but took two steps back while clutching my chest.He laughed out loud.I thought to myself, it turns out that his laughing voice is so nice!It's like weak electric waves flowing through your heart, making your heart numb and crisp.

He asked mockingly, "Where did your aggressiveness go that night?" I was a little confused, I didn't know what to say, I just stood there stupidly.He laughed a few more times, stepped forward, and when he reached the door, he turned around and said with a smile, "Do you still want to stand?" When I heard this, I hurriedly turned around and followed out.After he ordered the eunuch to take me back to my sister, he turned around and left. After standing for a long time, my legs were a little stiff, so I moved step by step, and the eunuch led the way with a lantern in front.As he walked, he wondered, what does Eighth Brother mean by this, and this is the end of it?As they were walking, the eunuch in front suddenly bowed to say hello: "Good luck, brother ten, and good luck, brother fourteen!" It turned out that the tenth and fourteenth brothers were standing by the roadside.

Elder Brother Shi looked at my sad face, and asked anxiously, "How is it?" I bit my lip, hesitated to speak, hesitated to speak, and finally lowered my head and said nothing after a few times.Elder Brother Ten grabbed my hand and said anxiously, "Let's go find mynah!" I withdrew my hand, gave him a gloomy glance, then stared straight ahead, with an infinitely miserable face, and slowly shook my head. "Ha, ha, ha..." Elder Fourteen bent over, covered his stomach and laughed loudly, and shouted, "Oh my God!" Elder Ten was blindsided by his sudden laugh, and looked at it with anger. with him. "Puchi!" I laughed too.Brother Ten looked at me, then at Fourteen, suddenly turned around and left with a flick of his sleeves, and said angrily, "I'm worrying about this for nothing!" Fourteen and I rushed to stop him.Holding back my smile, I said softly, "If you don't dare next time, please forgive me this time!" Elder Fourteen also bowed again and again.Only then did Elder Brother Ten's expression soften.

I turned my head to stare at Fourteen, and asked, "Who said you wanted to intercede for me?" Fourteen smiled and said, "Myna is a well-known gentle gentleman, and he has always been polite and gentle in his dealings with others. If you go in , he treats you normally, I have to think about how to ask for this kind of love." After a pause, he continued: "Later, the longer you stood, I thought to myself, well, there is no need to ask for this kind of favor! "I was speechless after hearing this.Elder Brother Ten asked strangely, "Then why didn't you remind me?" Fourteen laughed and said, "Wait for the show!" Elder Ten said angrily, "Okay! Fourteen! You..." Fourteen said: "This person also saw it, and his heart is at ease. It's time to eat!" I just took two steps, thought for a while, I turned around and stopped them again, and asked, "What's the reaction of Guo Luoluo's Affiliated Mansion?" Brother Ten opened his mouth to speak, but Fourteen snapped: "Anyway, this matter ends here. Even if it's over. You don't have to think about it anymore, go back and let the girl beat your legs!" When I got back to the house, my elder sister didn't show any expression when she saw me coming in, she just told the maid next to her, "Let the kitchen heat up the food and bring it over here." The girl responded and went out.After a while, he came in again with a smile and replied: "I just met the fourth son when I went out. He brought a food box and said it was for the young lady. So I came back and asked if I want some hot food in the kitchen?" A little eunuch behind him Standing with a food box.My sister glanced at the little eunuch and said: "Since there are ready-made dishes, there is no need for hot and cold dishes." The girl turned around and took the food box, dismissed the eunuch, and served me for dinner.After standing for more than two hours, I was already hungry, so I hurriedly started to eat.Sitting on the couch, my sister just stared at me with a thoughtful look on her face.After eating for a while, my sister said lightly: "Take a shower and rest early!" I sighed, thinking that my anger was still there, but there was nothing I could do, so I had to go back to my room to rest. Day by day, I began to feel that life was extremely boring, there were only so many things to do, and my sister was still indifferent.I have also swung countless times in the entire Baylor House.I began to miss Shenzhen's luxury and wealth, friends and friends, and feasting and feasting.And here only men can enjoy those.I sit on a stone, facing the lake: ……… "Ugh!" "Ugh!" "Ugh!" ……… Suddenly I heard the voice of the fourteenth elder brother behind me, "I won!", I turned around and saw the ninth, tenth, and fourteenth elder brothers standing behind me, and hurriedly got up to say hello.The tenth elder brother said loudly: "Why are you sighing endlessly? You sighed so much that I lost my twenty taels of silver." The ninth elder brother added: "I still have my twenty taels." I was confused Looking at the fourteenth elder brother smiling from ear to ear.He laughed and said, "Let's bet on how many sighs you can sigh. Ninth Brother bets you no more than twenty, Tenth Brother bets you no more than forty, I bet you exceed forty." I thought for a while and asked : "Did I sigh so much?" The three of them said in unison: "Why not?" I pouted, but didn't speak. Brother Ten asked, "Why are you sighing?" I was about to answer, but Fourteen said, "Don't say it, let's guess, it's still twenty taels." I laughed and said, "I'm addicted to gambling!" Fourteen urged Said: "Ninth brother guess first!" Ninth brother waved his hand and said: "I can't guess, you two guess it!" Tenth brother looked at my face carefully and said: "Boring." Fourteen smiled and said: " It seems that I can only earn forty taels today. I also guess it’s boring.” I shook my head with a straight face and said, “It’s not boring!” Both of them were taken aback, looking at me suspiciously, Brother Ten asked: "What is that?" I said seriously: "It's very, very, very boring!" After finishing speaking, all four of them laughed for a while. Fourteen smiled and said, "Don't be bored anymore, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, there is a banquet in the palace!" I counted the days and said, "It's going to be the Mid-Autumn Festival!" Then asked: "Are you going to see Baylor?" Lord?" Elder Brother Shi replied: "Yes! But Yao Shilang is in the study. I don't want to see that noisy old man, so I walked around the garden first." I thought for a while and said, "I'll go with you later Say hello to Lord Baylor, okay?" Fourteen raised his eyebrows and said, "It's nothing to be courteous to, it's either adultery or robbery!" I glared at him and didn't say anything. When entering the study, the eighth elder brother saw that I came in with the three elder brothers, and he didn't have any special expression, just smiled and asked me to sit.I smiled and said: "My words are very short, just leave when I finish speaking, and just stand." He leaned back on the back of the chair, playing with a jade wrench casually, and said with a smile: "Your business, I can't help you. You need someone to tie the bell." I was stunned for a moment, and made a blessing in frustration, and said, "Ruoxi will leave!" He laughed and said, "Go!" I turned around and left the study. As I walked and thought, the rescuers hadn't moved, so it seemed that I had to rely on myself.When I returned to the house, my sister was still chanting scriptures in the scripture room.I was circling in circles in the room, thinking what should I say?Just as I was thinking, my sister came into the room, saw me circling on the ground, ignored me, and leaned on the couch.I hurriedly followed and sat down.After a long silence, I said quietly: "I was just born when my mother left. From childhood, I only knew that my father said I was a 'troubleshooter', and my aunt hated my naughtiness. The other brothers and sisters, although there are some, are still good friends. , but after all, they were not born by the same mother. Only my sister, we were born in the same mother's womb. My sister has always loved me. If there is anything wrong with my sister, no matter if my sister beats me or scolds me, I will listen to it But my sister ignored me, I... I..." As I spoke, I thought that I might never see my parents again, and on the other hand, I was really saddened by my sister's indifference these days. Tears welled up, and I cried and said I can't speak.When my sister heard this, she also burst into tears. She straightened up and hugged me, and the two hugged and cried for a while.It was only under Qiaohui and Dongyun's persuasion that she slowly suppressed her tears. The elder sister wiped her tears with a silk cloth, and said: "You must change your violent temper in the future, or you don't know how you lost your life." Slowly said: "You think Guo Mingyu Gege from the Luoluo family is easy to fight? If it wasn’t for Lord Belle to help you this time, no matter if it’s Fujin or Afu Mansion, they won’t be able to let you go.” After listening to my sister, seeing how sad my sister was, I just nodded promise. After the sisters hugged their heads and cried that day, my sister's anger was completely gone, and she treated me more tenderly and considerately.As the Mid-Autumn Festival was about to be celebrated, Fujin was inconvenient, so his sister was still in charge of all the festivities in the mansion.Every day is very busy.The lump in my heart was gone, and my mood improved a lot, and I became a rich and idle person again.The happiest thing is that since the last time I was bored in front of the tenth and fourteenth elder brothers, they sent someone to send over some novelty gadgets.It relieved me a lot of boredom, and I often guess what will be sent next time.All the maids in the room were excited, laughing and making noise.
