dream back to qing dynasty

Chapter 13 Night Watch
Gauze pillows, silk quilts, soft satin cushions... I arranged them one by one, trying to make them softer and more comfortable.And he was just busy, and didn't want to turn his head to see Brother Thirteen's self-satisfied virtue.The top and bottom are all cleaned up, I stood up straight, took a deep breath secretly, half turned around, bowed my head and said: "It's all cleaned up, you can settle it down." Brother Thirteen was leaning against the Beside the bed, looking at me with a smile.

But after a while, there was still no movement.

I lowered my head and froze there, thinking that since just now, he first said that his body hurts, and asked me to rub it for a long time. I just stopped, and then he said that his scalp was itchy, so I had to comb his hair and reapply. Braided.This is not over, it is said that the body is dirty, and I will not sleep well. Although I have suffered some trauma and cannot wash it, I can always wipe it off...

... I... I endured... Gritting my teeth, I went out to fetch warm water, and came back to scrub him.I helped him take off his shirt, only to find that there were still some bruises on his body, which was not serious, but I wiped him carefully, and when I was done, I got up and was about to get the water basin out. "Xiaowei, it's not finished yet!" Thirteen said with a smile.I was taken aback for a moment - what didn't I finish?Isn't it finished? I followed his gaze... "Huh..." My face turned red, this brat, what else do you want me to wash him?I'm not a fucking mother, damn it..."Uh-huh" I cleared my throat and said, "Yes, the servant girl is going to change the water so that the hot one can be used to burn her feet." I looked at him almost viciously, I thought that if he dared to make any stupid demands again, I would make him swallow the bath towel. He looked at me carefully, then smiled and said, "Okay, let's warm it up."

"Yes." I blessed my body, turned around and went out... Hehe, this kid knows current affairs.Hurry up and fetch hot water, wait for him to wash his feet, and that's all.Thinking of this, I couldn't help but wryly smiled, son, what does this young master want to do now?I lowered my head sorely, but I still didn't hear him speak, alas... It seems that I can't hold him back.Slowly raised my head to look at him, Shisan was still smiling, I glanced at him, and exhaled: "Tell me, what else do you want?" "Puchi" let out a laugh: "The quilt is cold, you should warm it up first! Didn't the Jingqi mothers teach you in the House of Internal Affairs?"

I raised my eyes and looked over, what kind of day is it? I said the quilt is cold, it is mid-September, the most comfortable season in Beijing, how can it be cold!I pursed the corners of my lips and said, "Nurses have taught me, but it will be after the October Festival, so do it too early, for fear that the masters will get angry." I said lightly. "Hehe..." Shisan laughed, "But I'm afraid of the cold." I took a deep breath, "Okay! Then wait a minute, I'll get a heater." After speaking, I turned around and wanted to leave...

"Ah!" Suddenly a strong force pulled me back, and when I came back, Shisan had lowered his head, hugged me tightly and said, "Just help me." I stared at him , I just feel that we can smell each other's breath.snort!After talking for a long time, this is the idea!I shook my head and said, "No."

"Why?" He pressed his forehead against my head, and I couldn't move. "Do you hate me?" He still had a playful smile on his face, but the expression in his eyes had froze.I can't help but sigh secretly, a psychological expert said that there is a black hole in everyone's heart, which will swallow up people's emotions and reason, and eventually make people crazy.Fortunately, the psychological black hole of ordinary people is only the size of a needle eye, so it will not have much impact on people, but if it becomes the thickness of chopsticks, it will be very dangerous.I raised my eyes subconsciously, looked carefully at the young and cheerful face of Brother Thirteen, and guessed how big his black hole was!Like chopsticks?Or even more... I couldn't help shivering, I just felt that Thirteen hugged me even tighter, and seeing the expression on his face, my throat suddenly tightened.

"You are like this every time..." Thirteen suddenly sighed softly.I was taken aback: "What did you say?" He shook his head and said, "You know what? Every time you look at me like this, I feel very warm and feel better..." He paused and said, "But It’s your appearance that makes me feel the most uncomfortable every time.” I couldn’t help but get a little confused, not knowing what he meant, seeing my confused look, Brother Thirteen curled his lips and said with some self-mockery: “Because you Not looking at me, but..." He licked his lips, turned his head away, and swallowed the words.I secretly sighed, alas...he must have kept this question in his heart for a long time, but he finally said it today.I stretched out my hand, fixed his face firmly, made him look at me, and smiled at him and said, "But you are special to me." Shisan's eyes lit up, and he was just about to open his mouth What to say, I shook my head lightly, and said seriously: "Just like you treat me..." He stared at me carefully for a moment, then hugged me even harder, until I couldn't breathe I'm angry.I can't help thinking a little funny, no wonder love novels often say that they are so sweet that they are about to die. Anyway, according to Shisan's way of expressing sweetness, I can say that if I change to Lin Daiyu's body, I will definitely die.

Just as I was thinking wildly, Thirteen's voice came from above my head: "You are mine..." Elder Thirteen relaxed his arm, and just gently wrapped his arms around me, "I will treat you well." He said seriously.I smiled and nodded.He looked at me indifferently, thinking that I didn't believe what he said, so he tightened his arms and said, "I mean it, I will definitely..." I looked at him, he paused, and stopped.I said softly: "I understand, so you don't have to promise anything, what's more, what you promise may not be fulfilled, and if you don't make a promise, you may not be able to do it, right?" Thirteen stared at me intently for a while, I burst out laughing suddenly: "You are really different from others..." I was startled, calmed down secretly, and just said lightly: "What's the difference? I also eat with my mouth and breathe with my nose."

"Puchi" Shisan wiped his face, and said with a smile, "That's true, but, do you know? Mynah also said behind his back that he appreciates you very much." I was stunned for a moment, then I gently broke away from his arm and turned around. , patted the quilt and said: "Since it was said behind my back, then I don't need to thank you."

"Haha..." Shisan laughed out loud, hugged me from behind and said, "Looking at your old-fashioned appearance, Ama, I really can't imagine how a daughter like you was born."

"Isn't that good?" I lowered my head and pretended to be busy, I didn't want to continue this dangerous topic, I just heard him say behind my back: "Of course not, it's just a little strange, you really don't look like those people Miss Noble... Where are you from?" He asked jokingly.I froze for a moment, Master Thirteen noticed it, and stretched out his head to look at me: "What's the matter?" I calmed down a bit, then turned around with a smile: "It's the same as you!" He was stunned: "What's the same?" ?”

"It's all from mother's belly!" I smiled and glanced at him. "Ah? Hehe..." Shisan was taken aback for a moment, then laughed happily.

I waited for him to fall asleep, but he still tugged on my sleeve and talked non-stop, and I followed suit.

"After morning class tomorrow, let's write together, and I'll teach you!"

"Good!" I nodded.

"You can also make a kite. A little eunuch taught me before. I'm doing well!"

"it is good!"

"Get up early in the morning, and I'll show you the sword dance, okay?"

"Okay!"

"Sleep together, okay?"

"not good."

"Hehe..." I smiled and watched Brother Thirteen reluctantly lying down.I went up to tuck him in the quilt and patted him lightly. He was stunned for a moment, opened his eyes and looked at me: "What do you think I am..." I smiled: "Think you are a little devil! Go to sleep. He frowned, mumbled something, but closed his eyes and fell asleep. "No one has ever coaxed me to sleep." Brother Thirteen suddenly said this, I was taken aback and looked at him, he turned around and went to sleep.I didn't say anything, I still patted him gently, but my heart felt a little sour...

After a while, he was already sound asleep. I stood up, put down the curtain, took a look at him, and went to lie down on my bed in the outer room lightly.I just feel that my heart is full of mixed feelings, I can't fall asleep after tossing and turning, listening to the slight snoring sound from the back room, I feel a little calm and warm in my heart.I stared at the tall Chengchen with wide eyes, thinking about Brother Thirteen’s confession, if I were with him, the days to come would be like going to a sauna... Although it must be so hot that I grimaced, but because There is hope in my heart, and the feeling of finally coming out is still very happy.It's just... I can't help but smile wryly, I just don't know if I can survive until he comes out, maybe in the process, it's very possible that I can't hold on and fall down!

Alas... just thinking about it makes my head hurt.Forget it, let's take one step at a time, who knows what will happen in the future!I forcefully put this thought aside, but then I thought of Xiaochun... "Oh." I couldn't help but sigh out loud, my fate is unknown, good or bad, but Xiaochun's ending ...

There was a faint human voice outside the door, and I woke up with a start, only to realize that I fell asleep at some point, and rubbed my face. Although I didn't sleep well last night, I feel pretty good today.Seeing that it was getting brighter outside, I tried my best to sit up and stretched my waist, thinking that it was time to wake Brother Thirteen, he still had morning classes, so I couldn't miss it.

I lifted the quilt, put on some clothes, and was about to get out of bed, when I turned my head inadvertently—"Ah!" I almost screamed, this... When did this kid come here? The thirteenth elder brother, who is enjoying the sweetness, just feels very dizzy. Could it be that I am dreaming?He was thinking whether to pinch himself, or give that kid two slaps to see if his hands hurt.Suddenly there was a real knock on the door, and I didn't care about Shisan anymore. I hurriedly got dressed, stroked my hair and went to open the door. It must be Dong Lian and the others who came to serve.

"Here we come." I replied, and walked over in a hurry, opened the door, and said with a smile, "It's so early in the morning, you..." When I looked up, before I finished speaking, I froze on the spot... Si Brother was standing at the door, looking at me indifferently...

I stood foolishly at the door, the fourth elder brother was as motionless as a mountain, just staring at me fixedly, after a while, suddenly there was some noise inside, I woke up suddenly, and hurriedly got down : "Slave and servant send greetings to fourth master, master is auspicious."

"Well, get up." The fourth master's faint voice sounded, I was blessed again, and stood up, feeling very panicked.I really can't think of what I should do next, and my heart is in a mess.

"Is the old thirteen up?"

"Ah?" I was startled, and raised my head to look at Fourth Master. Did he say something just now?After waiting for a while, seeing me standing there silently, Brother Si frowned slightly and said, "I heard from the girls that he slept here last night, didn't he?"

"Ah! Yes." Only then did I come to my senses, and I just nodded hurriedly.Seeing me standing at the door like a wooden stake, the fourth master may feel a little strange in his heart, but he is deep and deep, so he just raised his eyebrows: "I'm here to ask the old thirteen to go to morning class together, yesterday Something happened to my son, so I have to go to Ying Mao earlier today, so as not to make the emperor angry." Although the fourth elder brother was still so calm, there was already a hint of impatience in his tone.

I was stunned, but before I could react, the gate of the yard was suddenly pushed open, and I subconsciously turned my head to look—it was Yinyan and a few young eunuchs who came in with toilet utensils and so on.The leader Yinyan was taken aback when he saw me and the fourth elder brother standing at the door of the room, then he took two quick steps and said with a smile: "Fourth Master, why are you standing at the door, it's cold in the morning, be careful." I just thought about it, dare to say that after such a long time, I have blocked this master at the door all the time, I only felt my face turn red, I hurriedly lowered my hand respectfully, and invited the fourth elder brother to go in.I thought to myself, no wonder I felt something was wrong after such a long time, I was so stupid early in the morning.well!I scratched my scalp, thinking maybe I hadn't woken up yet, but I still felt weird... When Yinyan entered the door, she said something with a half-smile that she didn't even know how to serve, and asked her master to drink outside The wind or something... I didn't take it to heart, I just smiled casually, and I was still thinking, what's wrong?
"Ah..." I yelled out suddenly, the little eunuchs who were about to enter the door jumped in fright, and I turned around and hurried to the inner room.The fourth elder brother was sitting by the table in the outhouse, reading a piece written by the thirteenth elder brother after he returned to the house last night. When he saw me coming in, he didn't look up and said: "Last night, the thirteenth master rested. How are you doing?" I swallowed dryly, "Return to the master, it's pretty good."

"En!" Fourth Master nodded, although he stopped talking, but I didn't dare to leave casually, my heart was burning.I remember that Brother Thirteen seemed to be sleeping on my bed before opening the door just now. If it was a dream, it would be fine, but it doesn’t seem to be a dream... I frowned and thought hard...

The fourth elder brother raised his head and saw me standing there grinning, he was also taken aback: "Go and serve the thirteenth brother, don't worry about me."

"Yes." I breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly saluted, and was about to rush into the back room, "Ah! Lord Thirteen—why did you sleep on Xiaowei's bed? This... this..." Yin Yan said There was a scream.I stopped abruptly, and at the moment I just felt that it was okay to enter, and it was okay not to enter, so I stood there in extreme embarrassment, and a few young eunuchs next to me exchanged glances and winked at each other.I just felt hot and cold for a while, and I really wanted to faint, but I was so awake that I couldn't help smiling bitterly. I'm well nourished on weekdays, and sometimes this strong body is also It's a hassle.Standing helplessly in the middle, I felt buzzing in my ears, and suddenly felt a breath coming from the back of my neck, I was startled, and turned around unconsciously... I felt my breathing stopped suddenly, This time, I really felt like I was going to faint. Brother Si was standing stiffly behind me, his face was a little pale, his two black eyes were as cold as ice and snow, and he was almost staring at me viciously...

Subconsciously, I stretched out my hand and tugged at the neckline, as if it would help me breathe more smoothly. I just looked at Si elder brother like that, but my heart gradually calmed down.Originally, firstly, I didn't do anything shameful; secondly, I made a promise to Brother Thirteen in a disguised form yesterday, so... I secretly let out a sigh of relief.The fourth elder brother looked at my slowly indifferent eyes, seemed a little unbelievable, but just looked at me silently... I moistened my lips, lightened my throat, and was about to say something when I suddenly saw Si Ye My face darkened, and a trace of deep pain flashed in my eyes, and I couldn't help being stunned...

He turned around, walked to the window, and looked out with his hands behind his back... It's strange to say, I'm not too scared by the cold expression of the fourth elder brother, but every time I see him like this, I get scared from the bottom of my heart.The morning glow from the sky reflected on the window lattice, and sprinkled a faint pink on the room, but even this kind of tenderness, reflected on the fourth elder brother, would only make people feel a kind of lonely paleness.I stood there in a daze, and even hated myself for this feeling. It seemed that every time I wanted to walk away, the fourth elder brother would hold my hand and touch his most vulnerable wound.

"Master Thirteen, put on some clothes, it's cold in the morning and evening, don't suffer from the cold..." Yinyan's murmured voice suddenly came, and I was startled—turning around suddenly, I saw Shisan leaning against the inner room On the door frame, looking at me expressionlessly.

"Huh..." I let out a long breath, every time I think of that morning, it makes me feel like sitting in the snow and eating ice.Think about that day when Thirteen chatted and laughed happily with the fourth elder brother, and the fourth master responded nonchalantly, and the two of them went out together as if nothing had happened... Only I was the only one who was worried about it for a long time, and I sent him away in a daze. After they went out, I suddenly felt like an idiot. When I came back to my senses, I was the only one left in the room. Everything that happened just now seemed like a dream. I went back to sleep in a daze , I just think it's really terrible.But after I woke up, I realized that the real killer was behind.

In such a long time, the whole Changchun Palace knew about Brother Thirteen sleeping on my bed, and there were probably rumors in other places as well.Compared with the eunuch's long ears and broken mouth, who are the modern paparazzi?I didn't know it at first, but I just thought it was so awkward to walk in Changchun Palace, as if my body was pricked by needles.

Later, Sister Dongmei said they wanted to interrogate me, and I realized that I had become a gossip heroine.I know that this kind of thing is getting darker and darker, so I simply said "yes" to them. These girls saw me being so straightforward, and they looked indifferent, but they didn't believe it. They go talk.

Seeing how things have turned out like this, Yinyan may feel a little upset, telling people everywhere, I just picked high branches, scheming and so on, but I didn't open my eyes, but found someone who was not favored.I just pretended I didn't hear it, and I didn't bother to get angry with her, but I was a little amused in my heart. These people are not only jealous that I have cheated on my elder brother, but also ridiculed that I have found someone who is not favored. I really don't know what they are thinking.Maybe even if I didn't find a pure gold one, but only one inlaid with gold, it would still make their teeth itch! ?
The carriage was jolting, although the four sides had been tightly pasted with rosin and felt, but after sitting for a long time, I still felt the wind blowing in.I moved my legs and hugged the heater more tightly. Dong Lian, who was in the same car, had already fallen asleep. I tucked her in the blanket and sat back down.

Afterwards it was over.I don't understand either, I just listened to Dong Lian's suggestion, it seems that the Empress Defei spoke.Concubine De still trusts and is kind to me as always, but I have something on my mind, so I am just careful everywhere.Elder Brother Thirteen lived in Changchun Palace for a few days, and then moved back. He came to me after school, took me to read, write, make things, or let me watch him practice martial arts and beat Buku.Sometimes when I go out of the palace, I will bring me some gadgets and snacks.He seems to have given up some scruples and just changed the way to let me treat him wholeheartedly.I haven't seen the fourth master again. I heard that the thirteenth elder brother said that he went out to run a school and couldn't come back for ten days and a half months. Thinking about his appearance at that time, I was a little worried, but I didn't dare to ask further questions. The thirteenth elder brother is overhearted.It's just buried in my heart, and sometimes I can't help thinking, I never thought of making him like me, but I also didn't want him to hate me at all.Sometimes I can't help laughing at my own boredom.

Until a month later, I found that there was a new set of palace-made books in my room. I thought it was given to me by the thirteenth elder brother, but Dongmei said that the fourth master came back from an errand. , I have come to invite you.Back in the house, looking at the set of books, I was stunned for a while, feeling sore in my heart, thinking about the cold eyes of the fourth elder brother...

"Hey!" I couldn't help sighing, maybe I was thinking too much, probably it was given by Thirteen.Even though I thought so, I still hid the book, and just thinking about whether I was guilty of guilt, brother Thirteen came to me excitedly. With a "snap", I put down a stack of books and said that the fourth brother brought them back for him. He asked me to pick the one I like first.

Thinking back at that time, I really don’t know what expression I used to face the thirteenth elder brother, but the thirteenth elder brother didn’t notice anything, but although I haven’t seen the fourth elder brother again, but every night I always unconsciously I stared at the set of books for a long time, but never turned them over. Sometimes I just sat and fell asleep in a daze like this. I slept very unsteadily and had nightmares again and again, but I never remembered what I was dreaming about. .

Slowly the situation calmed down, except for Defei's decree, probably most of it was because Brother Thirteen was not favored and had no background, and others didn't think that I took a huge advantage, so, although Brother Thirteen often came to see me, but others gradually faded away and stopped chewing their tongues.The ancients said: rumors will disappear after 77 days.It’s really quite accurate, just two months later, when others saw Shisan and I were together and would never whisper to each other again, Emperor Kangxi made a decree—to go to the northeast to fight a siege, that is, to hunt in winter.

The concubine De concubine escorted me by order, so I am sitting in the carriage now, and headed towards the Daxing'an Mountains in the northeast.

I just feel that the weather is getting colder and colder. Although I was born in Beijing, the past ten years have been warm because of the El Niño phenomenon.So every day I just curl up in a mink coat, shivering with the stove in my arms.For this reason, the concubine De concubine also said with a smile, this man is handsome, and his bones have also become more delicate. He still looks like a Manchurian girl who came out of Zhengbaiqi.I smirked and covered up the past, but I deeply missed air conditioners, electric heaters, trains and planes... I was squinting, imagining that if I took a plane, these days, it would be enough to run a hundred round trips.well!At that time, I was born in a state of blessings and did not know how to be blessed!I rarely ride because of airsickness.

A gust of cool wind blew in with a "huh", I opened my eyes suddenly, and saw Brother Thirteen rushing in, I was startled, and hurriedly pointed to Dong Lian who was sleeping, signaling him to keep his voice down.He glanced at Dong Lian, then came over, sat down next to me, then reached out and took out a warm dendrobium from his arms and handed it to me. "What?" I asked in a low voice. "It's ginseng soup, which warms the body the most. Aren't you afraid of the cold?" Shisan said with a smile.I smiled slightly: "Thank you!" I turned around and took out a cup from the small cabinet next to it, poured half of it out and handed it to him.Thirteen happily took it, and while he was drinking, he heard someone outside asking, "Did you see Lord Thirteen?" Go out and ask: "What's the matter?" I only heard the outside say: "Master, the crown prince and the fourth master are looking for you..."

"Well, I see, here we come." Thirteen turned around and smiled at me after speaking.I nodded and said, "Go quickly, be careful." He nodded, and just about to turn over and get out of the car, he turned around and said with a smile, "Drink it quickly, the medicine will lose its power when it gets cold." I smiled nod...

The shadow of Thirteen's clothes flashed and disappeared. I gently opened the curtains of the car a little, and saw Elder Thirteen handsomely leaping on the horse's back, leading the crowd away with whips, it was really heroic. Can't help but look at his figure that is gradually going away...

"Everyone is gone, let's keep watching." I was taken aback for a moment, then I turned around and saw Dong Lian sitting up lazily, and I smiled: "Are you awake?"

She gave me a blank look and said: "I woke up early, but that master is here, so I dare not move."

"Puchi", I laughed. "Hmph! You're still laughing! Someone is serving Shen Tang, you're proud of it? Isn't it?" Dong Lian smiled and stared at me.I laughed and said, "Others serve me, I have to serve you! Isn't this reserved for you!"

"It's not too bad." I took out another cup, poured a cup, and handed it to Dong Lian, we were about to drink...

"Ah..." Suddenly there was a woman's scream in front of us. We were so startled that we all opened the window and looked out at the same time...
