Chapter 10 Chapter nine

In the past few days, I often stare at my left hand unconsciously and start to be in a daze.I feel as if I understand what Eighth Brother means, but I don't seem to understand.Although I had a vigorous love affair when I was in high school, the emotions of my children at that time were simple and easy to understand.Now I have no idea what is going on in his mind. Sentimental?ruthless?play?serious?Whim?Already planned?I have no idea!For these court men who are addicted to intrigue, beautiful women are just a scenery to enjoy when they are happy, and a joke to amuse when they are bored.Straightforward and enthusiastic like Elder Brother Ten, he also felt that he could accommodate me and Mingyu Gege.I can't really expect anything from them.

I have developed a habit since I started learning to do geometry proofs.That was a problem that I couldn't figure out for a while, so I threw it aside.After a while, maybe it will come naturally.So this time when I found that I couldn't figure it out, I simply gave up this super difficult problem.Time will tell me the answer. The thing before me now is that in three days it will be Elder Brother Ten's big wedding day.Since I went to the palace to see him that day, I haven't seen him again for more than a month.I only heard that Kangxi gave him a mansion.I kept thinking, should I go to his wedding banquet?I thought in my heart that one thing more is worse than one thing less, so it is better not to go.

Sister listened to me saying no to go, and replied lightly, then don't go!But as soon as I turned around, Qiaohui pulled me and said, "Master never goes to pay respects to Fujin Fujin except during the New Year and holidays. I'm already very dissatisfied there. If Miss doesn't pay respects to others Congratulations to Gege, I’m afraid there will be blame on the master again. Say we don’t know how to be polite.” I had no choice but to go to my sister and tell me that I’m going, but my sister still agreed lightly, but then added a sentence, absolutely not allowed to go make trouble!I just smiled and promised not to cause trouble.

In a blink of an eye, it was the wedding day.I chose a peach red and gold trimmed jacket to wear, to make myself look more happy, and to cover up the sadness in my heart.Lord Babeile went first, and later, my sister and I rushed there together in a soft sedan chair.The wedding banquet was held in the mansion newly given by the ten princes.When we arrived, there was already a line of fragrant cars and BMWs in front of the door. This mansion is indeed incomparable with the Babeile Mansion, but in the eyes of a modern urbanite like me, it is already beautiful.The whole road is decorated with lanterns and festoons, the lights are shining, cigarettes are lingering, and drums and music are loud.

Laughter, singing, human voice, the whole hall is a sea of ​​joy, everyone is laughing.My sister and I were very silent, sitting on our own, and the two seemed very out of place in this environment.Although I lowered my eyes, I knew that since I entered this hall, everyone here was secretly looking at me, whether intentionally or not.I sat there feeling extremely uncomfortable and wanted to get up and leave immediately.But I know that if I leave at this time, I'm afraid the joke will become even bigger.At least we have to wait until the bride enters the door. Sighing in my heart, I said to myself, if it comes, then it will be safe!He tried to pull the corners of his mouth, but found that he could still force a smile, so he quickly spread out a bright smile, raised his head and slowly looked around.Slowly meeting all kinds of curious eyes, the ridiculous thing is that I didn't do anything, but they hurriedly avoided each other as soon as they met my eyes.I sneered twice in my heart, and laughed even more charmingly.Suddenly met the eyes of the fourth elder brother, which was cold and icy, and there seemed to be nothing in the dark pupils.But I felt that the smile on my face couldn't hold back, and I felt that the discomfort and confusion in my heart seemed to be exposed naked, and there was nowhere to hide under his sharp gaze.I took a slight breath, forced myself to laugh, and blinked at him angrily, then smiled to meet the next curious gaze.

A young servant hurried in and shouted: "The bride is almost at the gate of the house! It's time to get ready to pick up the sedan chair." Only then did everyone realize that they had never seen the groom.I scanned the hall and found that Lord Babeile was not there either.My sister and I looked at each other, both a little nervous.I quickly slipped to Elder Fourteen's side, and asked in a low voice, "What's going on?" Fourteen also looked confused, "Yesterday, I saw that Elder Ten is fine!" I started to feel nervous, thinking to myself , my God!Old ten, don't make trouble at this juncture.Seeing that my face turned pale, Sisi hurriedly said, "Don't worry, there is starling here, nothing serious will happen." I could only nod my head.

The noise in the hall became louder and louder, and my heart became more and more tense.At this moment, I heard the servants at the door shouting: "Brother Ten, Brother Ten!" When I looked, I found that Brother Ten was wearing a wedding robe and Brother Eight were standing side by side at the door.Then, Elder Brother Shi was hurriedly led by the eunuchs to the gate of the mansion.The eighth elder brother smiled, greeted everyone, and walked in lightly.When he went to pay his respects to the prince, the prince asked: "What's the matter?" The eighth elder brother smiled and replied: "The tenth brother thinks that the wedding robe he made doesn't fit, so he is reluctant to come out." Hearing this, everyone burst into laughter!Immediately, someone shouted: "Brother Ten is afraid that the bride will dislike him, so he refuses to have a bridal chamber with him!" Everyone laughed even harder.The eighth elder brother stood beside the prince with his hands behind his back, smiling and looking around at the people around him, while greeting everyone he met with his eyes.Seeing that his eyes were about to sweep over me, I hurriedly lowered my head.This is the first time I've seen him since that day in the snow.When he lowered his head, he saw that amidst the laughter of the crowd, the fourth elder brother still had a calm expression, looking out of the hall indifferently.

After a while, I heard the sound of drums and music, and everyone flocked to the entrance of the hall. I shrank behind everyone, and vaguely saw ten elder brothers, holding a red ribbon in hand, leading the bride with a hipa on her head. Amidst the roar of laughter, the two were sent into the bridal chamber. Seeing this, I sighed heavily in my heart.After thinking about it for a while, Elder Brother Ten would come out and sit at the table to toast everyone.I really can't think of how he would toast me this wine.I pointed out the door to my sister, and she nodded slightly.Seeing that no one was paying attention, he quietly slipped out of the wedding hall.

It is very cold in Beijing in December.But I feel that I need such coldness, only in this way can I ease my inner depression.I folded my hands, shrunk my neck, bowed my back, trembling, and walked in secluded places.As I was walking, I heard a voice in front saying: "Since you are so afraid of the cold, why are you driving here?" I looked up, and it turned out to be Brother Thirteen.He leaned over the railing and looked at me mockingly.I was startled, and subconsciously blurted out: "Why don't you drink in the hall?" He laughed and said, "Why are you here?"Quickly squatted down and said: "Brother Thirteen is auspicious!" He sneered twice and said: "The person waiting to hear the auspiciousness is in the hall!" Because he didn't mention it, I could only squat down and not move.After a while, I finally heard him say: "Get up!" I stood up slowly and stood still waiting for him to leave.

For a long while, he didn't move, and finally said without thinking: "You and I are both sad today! Why don't we be each other's companions." I looked at him in surprise.But he jumped off the railing, strode over, grabbed my hand and left. His steps were big and fast, and I couldn't break free from his hand, so I could only trot along and follow, while scolding: "Let go!".He led me out of the mansion through the side door.He looked at the guard at the gate coldly and dared not say anything.I only heard a whistling in his mouth, and heard the sound of horseshoes of "de, de".A tall, shiny black horse trotted to a stop in front of us.

me! ' Before the scream was over, he realized that he was already sitting on the horse's back, and then he turned on the horse, and stretched his arms around my waist to hold the rein.Just listen to 'drive! ', the horse has galloped up.I have never been on such a fast horse before, I just feel as if I am riding on a cloud, and it is very bumpy.I was extremely scared in my heart, so I could only shrink back desperately, leaning against his arms.The head-on wind blew on his face, like a sharp knife piercing his face, and it hurt so much that he had to turn his head and put his face on his shoulder. After a while of galloping, I felt that my whole body was numb from the cold.I thought to myself what would happen to this overlord?Does he want to freeze me to death?Could it be that he likes Mingyu Gege?How about "two sad people"? The speed of the horse gradually slowed down and finally stopped.He got off the horse first, and then carried me off the horse.Standing on the ground, I felt even more bone-chillingly cold. I folded my arms, gritted my teeth, and shivered!He untied a wine bag from the saddle, pulled the cork off, supported my head with one hand, brought the mouth of the wine bag to my mouth with the other and said, "Take a sip!" It's spicy and straight to the stomach.He said again: "Take another sip!" I took another sip from his hand.Slowly, the pungentness spread to the internal organs, and finally I felt conscious.But still kept shivering. He ignored me, turned around and walked into the woods.I wanted to call out to him, but found myself too cold to speak.It was dark, and I stood there alone, with only one horse beside me.While shivering and fearing, she swore in her heart that she would never provoke Mingyu Gege again.I can't beat this overlord. After a while, he came back with a lot of dry wood.After fiddling alone for a while, a fire was lit.As soon as I saw the fire, I leaned over and sat by it.He handed over the wine bag again, and I didn't refuse, just picked it up and took a sip.Then hand it back to him.The two of them just sat by the fire, warming up and drinking wine one by one. I think my sister will be worried, but looking at the cold face of this overlord under the firelight, I really don't have the courage to say anything.I just hope that he thinks that it is Kangxi's idea that Mingyu Gege married ten princes, and it has nothing to do with me, so he will stop doing other tricks.Otherwise, I'm afraid that if I don't see Yongzheng enthroned, I will die in the hands of this overlord. The two of you took a sip, and I took a sip. After a bag of wine was slowly finished, he got up and took another bag of wine from the horse.Then we move on.As I drank, I felt that the past and the past were all in my heart. I remembered getting drunk with my friends in Lan Kwai Fong, Hong Kong, and when I was a child, I secretly drank the champagne at home and got drunk... Then I giggled for a while, and then went back again. Staring at the fire for a while.Then?Then I don't know what else to do.Anyway, while it was still dark, he shook me awake, and I looked at him dazedly, and found myself lying on his lap. He put out the fire.He hugged me on the back of the horse, and then ran wildly again. I was still desperately shrinking into his arms, and I was still so cold that I lost consciousness all over my body.By the time we arrived at the Babeile Mansion, the sky was already a bit hazy.He threw me at the door and said, next time I will drink with you again, and then drive away. I was dizzy and trembling while banging my head against the door.Why don't you use your hands?Because the arm is not very useful.The door opened quickly, and I also fell over. A servant hurriedly supported me, touched my body, and exclaimed: "Oh my God! Why is my body so cold?" Then I was carried back to my sister. In the room, my sister rushed up, someone gave me a bath, and then I was put into the quilt.During the period, it seemed that my sister asked me a lot of questions, but seeing that I was dumbfounded, I had no choice but to give up.I ended up falling asleep. When the girls woke me up, it was already dinner time.Except for the heavy head, everything else is fine. Thinking that I have always tasted good wine, I never cry or make noise when I am drunk, and just sleep with my head tilted, I can't help but secretly rejoice. Dressed neatly, entered the dining room, only to find that the eighth elder brother was also there.I just woke up from a hangover, my mind was turning slowly, and I hadn't eaten anything since yesterday afternoon, so after a hasty greeting, I started to eat without thinking about anything. Eating and eating, I began to react.How do you want to explain where you went last night?I was thinking about it secretly, when I heard my sister say: "Yesterday, where did Brother Thirteen take you?" Don’t know?” I thought to myself, yes, if I ask the guard at the gate, I will know everything.But it's hard to say what it's for.Thinking about the absurd things last night, I couldn't help but feel a little ridiculous.When I was a young girl, every time I read martial arts novels, I fantasized that I would share a horse with a handsome and martial arts knight, galloping on the green grassland. He stared at me affectionately, and I looked back at him tenderly.Unexpectedly, this dream was realized in disguise yesterday, it was indeed a ride together, but everything else was wrong.Thinking about it, I feel more and more absurd and funny.The smile on his face was unbearable, but he still had to hold back, because his sister's complexion was not pretty. My sister looked at me in pain, and finally said angrily, "Don't hold back, laugh! After laughing, talk back!" I finally released the smile in my heart.Just as he was laughing happily, he felt two cold eyes staring at his face all the time, he was startled, and quickly suppressed his smile.With a solemn face, he looked at the eighth elder brother.There was still a smile on the corner of his mouth, but there was some coldness in his eyes.It made me shiver, and I couldn't laugh anymore, so I was busy eating with my head down. My sister waited for me to finish laughing, "Tell me! What did you do?" I simply said, "We went out for a drink." My sister asked in confusion, "Why did Brother Thirteen take you out for a drink?" It's better not to publicize his personal privacy for Thirteen Luan, so he said: "Maybe he sees that I'm in a bad mood, so he sympathizes with me!" My sister shook her head helplessly, "A girl who hasn't left the cabinet hasn't returned all night, and still thinks of you Aren't there enough rumors?" Then I came to my senses, thinking, it's over, now people in the Forbidden City will have to take a good look at me.Halfway through the nervousness, I suddenly felt, just look!Who knows what is waiting for me ahead?Of course, you have to drink today and get drunk today!Whatever they think of me. He breathed a sigh of relief, and continued to eat with his face as usual.My sister waited for a while, saw that I kept my head down and pulled out my rice, and continued: "It's okay this time. Fortunately, I found out early, and it was at the tenth brother's house. I have already taken care of it. There is no one else except a few confidantes. I know. I wanted to send someone to look for it at that time. But if I send more people, I’m afraid it will attract attention. If I only send a few people, it will be useless. I thought that since the thirteenth brother took you away, he would have to send you back, so I just I sent a trustworthy boy to guard the door." After a pause, she continued: "But you remember, it's only this time, and there will be no next time!" I thought to myself, do you think I want a cold day? The wind outside?I was forced by that overlord!Thinking of this, I felt that I was a bit too much, so I quickly admitted: Okay!I was not happy at the time, and I was just trying to vent. After finishing the meal, Brother Ba and his sister chatted with each other with a smile, and then left in a hurry.I took a closer look at my sister's complexion, she was not unhappy, but relieved.I sighed secretly in my heart and thought, what is my sister's sweetheart like?The eighth elder brother is such an outstanding young master Pianpianjia, he can't make my sister forget him!
