dream back to qing dynasty

41 Three Years
"Crackling, crackling!" The sound of firecrackers exploding came from time to time, and the strong smell of gunpowder floated along the wind from outside the wall, carrying some debris. I leaned on the window slump and watched for a while, I couldn't help reaching out to pick it up, a small but heavy red color came into my eyes, I was so happy, the corners of my mouth curled up unconsciously...

"Master, what are you laughing at?" Xiao Tao'er came out from behind me with a smile, holding a bowl of steaming bird's nest porridge in her hand, "Be careful of the cold wind, don't get a cold and headache." Stir the porridge with a small spoon, blow it lightly, pass it over, raised his eyes and smiled and said, "Eat it quickly, you will lose your sexual energy when it cools."

I took it with a slight smile, "Thank you, Housekeeper Taoer", Xiao Tao smiled, "Master knows how to make me poor", I smiled and nodded to the side, Xiao Taoer understood, and sat sideways on me Beside me, I took the sewing basket on the table, took out a pair of shoe soles and put them away, but there was still some gossip in my mouth.I laughed and listened, but my thoughts drifted out of the window again...

I have no idea how long three years are. It should have been a difficult time, but it slipped by in the blink of an eye. I thought carefully about what I had done before, but I didn't have a clear impression.If suffering can impress people, then happiness can only make time pass quickly, but leave no trace...

For three years, Yinxiang, who was supposed to be decadent and desperate, was still full of vigor and vitality. He read books, wrote, practiced martial arts with great interest every day, or planted trees with me, watched me cook, tended flowers and plants, fished, and even tossed about furniture. , Let yourself never be idle for a moment, life seems to be very fulfilling.In this way, his body became stronger.

I just occasionally stand on the rockery in the garden and look out. Once I happened to meet him, but he only said that he was looking far from the top. Although the rockery is not high, it is still farther than the flat ground. I heard Haha laughed.After two days, I walked up alone, and looked in the direction he was looking at from a distance, only to find that the faint red walls and green tiles appeared... I couldn't help but tremble, that should be Lama Temple Bar……

Although he was banned, his life was not bad, and he had all the daily necessities, and the quality hadn't changed at all from what he used before, but this was two years ago.The previous year was very difficult, but it depends on who you compare with. If you are better than ordinary people, then naturally you can be regarded as rich and well-off.

At that time, Thirteen didn't pay any attention to these things, presumably he knew them well in his heart, how could the fate of being imprisoned in the royal family be any better.It's just that the next year, the things sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs suddenly improved, and the servants were naturally overjoyed, and they even murmured in private whether the Thirteenth Lord was going to stand up.

Yinxiang just picked some good paper, ink, brushes and inkstones for me to see, he didn't say anything, but a faint joy flashed in his eyes, I was also happy with Xiaotao and the others, but I knew in my heart, It's the fourth master... Although I can't remember the exact time, but in history, sooner or later he would control the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

I can't tell what it feels like, but one thing is for sure, Emperor Kangxi seems to trust Si Ye more and more. Not everyone can go to the House of Internal Affairs, which handles a lot of the emperor's personal affairs.That is to say, my affairs have nothing to do with the fourth master. It seems that what I thought was right at the beginning. If it weren't for the acquiescence of Emperor Kangxi, it would be useless for the fourth master even if he has great abilities.

Occasionally, I also thought about what the fourth master would do if Emperor Kangxi insisted on killing me, to save me or... Suddenly my heart became cold, I quickly dismissed this thought, and ordered myself not to think about it.It's just that I can't help but smile bitterly, laughing at things that I know the result, why bother to think about it, and make myself hurt for no reason.

Yinxiang's good spirit is naturally a good thing in the eyes of Qin Shun'er, the slaves who sincerely protect the master. Anyway, he believes that because of me, he has the good mood of his master.I just laughed at this kind of assessment, and I used it to joke with Yinxiang, but I was very clear in my heart that everything he did was nothing more than those eight words, "strengthen the army and feed the horses, recharge your energy and store your energy".

If it is said that he was loyal to the fourth master in the past, after he was imprisoned and I "resurrected from the dead", I am afraid that he has followed his life to the fourth master, not to mention the emperor's attitude. So ambiguous.I'm afraid Yinxiang's ambition has never given up. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile again, even when he thought I was gone, he never...

These are all pretty good, if a person loses his mind, life would be meaningless, but occasionally when he mentions Baye and the others, Yinxiang's eyes make me feel cold in my heart, I am so busy that I divert the conversation, I don't know if he knows, but we never mentioned Baye's name again.

Thirteen seemed to know what was going on outside, and Fourth Master must have found his own way to inform him, not to mention that the Ministry of Internal Affairs was also in their hands.I don't want to take care of these things at all. Although I am imprisoned in this three-acre land, I feel that it is much better than the previous prosperous days.

The slaves in the mansion changed quite a lot in the year I came in, but those like Xiao Taoer and Qin Shuner stayed on. It’s good to have some newcomers, they don’t know me very well, maybe they just pretended not to know each other. Anyway, when no one saw me, I would pop my eyes and grin, as if I had seen a ghost in daylight.But those girls who came in at the same time as me saw Yinxiang treat me like this, and two of them were tall and top-notch, and they felt very upset.

Just after the first three months, after the two girls suppressed the fear, injustice, and caution in their hearts, seeing Yinxiang's character, and not looking like he was imprisoned, he felt natural. They all have some ideas.They were originally the sons of the family of slaves under the fourth master's banner. Although they were not of high birth, they were in the banner after all. It is not unworthy to be close to a shellfish who has been imprisoned.

But firstly, seeing that Yinxiang treats me with obedience and obedience, he is not like a master treating a girl, which even ordinary couples cannot do. Secondly, the chief eunuch in the mansion is Qin Shun'er, and the maids in the inner mansion are Xiao Taoer In Guan, the two of them are just like Yinxiang to me, loyal and wholehearted.

They couldn't help but have some doubts in their hearts. They tried their words in private, but I blocked them back with a few words. Anyway, I can't tell them that Yinxiang is my husband, and Xiaotao and the others are serving me.

Two days later, someone heard Qin Shun'er calling me in private, slipped away, turned around, and someone said sourly behind his back, they were all slave girls, and they were also called master coming……

But in the end, there were a few who could see the whole thing clearly. Although they didn't know why Yinxiang and the others treated me like this, they were always polite when they saw me, and even came to see me as their master.I just smiled and said that everyone is good sisters, it is good to get along peacefully, there is no such thing as a master or a slave.But she understands the sensible ones without saying anything, but she can't understand what she doesn't understand.

Another month later, one day I was reading a book, and suddenly I heard the little girl muttering something, beating me so hard, I was a little curious, I asked them to come in and ask, but I didn't dare to answer, Xiao Taoer came in and said it was a girl who made a mistake Well, Thirteenth Master had her beaten up and sent to the woodshed.

I was stunned, Yinxiang has always been kind to his servants, and rarely cares about anything, why this time... I thought to myself and asked, who is it?Xiao Tao'er pursed her lips and rolled her eyes, but didn't answer, the little girl beside her was about to say something, but Xiao Tao gouged her eyes out, and hurriedly backed out in fright.

I guessed something in my heart, and when I heard Xiaotao say that I don't need to worry about that screwdriver whore, I couldn't help but feel a little weird.It seems that ever since I got to know Yinxiang, I only saw him treating me nonsensically and talking crazy, but I never saw him put other girls in his eyes.

In Changchun Palace, there are many girls who look better than me, not to mention the flamboyant world outside, but he has never provoked him, either he is polite, or he is the master's money, especially after marrying me. in this way.The only suspected possibility is Qixiang, but before I figured it out, the person had already been sent out, and no one came to obstruct my eyes. The word "rival in love" is empty talk to me.

Today's encounter was quite new to me, but it was obvious that Yin Xiang had already killed me before the enemy had a face-to-face encounter, and I couldn't help but feel a little funny thinking about it.Seeing that I wasn't angry, Xiao Tao'er was also relieved. Although she didn't say anything clearly, she also babbled about the cause and effect. Simply put, it was someone's flattering that slapped the horse's leg... I found out that it didn't hurt me. And human life, so I won't mention it anymore.

At night, Yinxiang smiled and told me about it, with the intention of expressing his merits. I nodded and admitted, saying that if that woman took advantage of you, I would be at a disadvantage. Yinxiang laughed... The matter disappeared, No one mentions it anymore.It's just that since then, everyone has behaved well when they met me, and called me their master. I wanted to say something, but Qin Shun'er said it was Yin Xiang's words.I was also afraid of getting into trouble, but Yinxiang said that this place is so high in the sky that the emperor is far away, and mosquitoes can't fly in, so I wanted to fly out.

Although I'm still a little uneasy, firstly I'm used to being called, and secondly, as the days get longer, I don't really find it awkward.In addition, I don't know why, since the encirclement ban, the number of mosquitoes in summer has indeed decreased a lot. It seems that the Imperial Guard's encirclement is really strict, so I feel more at ease.Once when talking about it at the dinner table, Yinxiang sprayed all the soup on the table, and Xiao Taoer and the others couldn't help laughing.

This is how the days go by day by day. Although it is not as glamorous as before, it can still make people have the ability to enjoy the hardships. Moreover, this is the most peaceful life I have ever lived since I came here. There is no world, but I have myself In one world, there is no Thirteenth Master who is busy fighting, but there is a husband who is with him day and night and shares his heart, and there is no him here...

"I'm thinking wildly again, um..." A clear voice sounded beside my ears, warm arms surrounded me, my heart skipped a beat, and I came back to my senses.Only then did I realize that the porridge bowl in my hand had been taken away at some point, and Xiao Taoer was gone. I let out a breath, stroked my hair, and leaned into Yinxiang's arms.

"What are you thinking?" Yinxiang said with a smile in my ear. The warm wind made my ears itchy. The ballad made me itchy even more, and I couldn't help laughing.The itching was unbearable, no matter what 21 [-] rubbed against his collar, Yinxiang laughed lowly.

"What's in this hand?" Yinxiang opened my hand to look at it. I looked down and saw that the firecracker paper just now was stuck to the palm of my hand with sweat. Seeing that Yinxiang was thinking, I laughed Said, "I was just thinking about taking advantage of it today."

He was taken aback, and I pointed to the sound of ping-pong-pong coming from outside the wall from time to time, "Listen, others spend money to buy guns, and we listen to them for free."Yinxiang let out a "puchi" burst of laughter, buried his face in my neck, and called out "Xiaowei" in a very low voice.Every time there is no one else, he will call it that way, and it seems that we have returned to the past, he is full of spirits, and I - justifiably...

I held his hand instead, touched the thin calluses of his slender fingers, and said softly, "I think it's good. I'm happy at home, and I don't have to giggle and show it to others. Anyway, we don't have red envelopes at our age." But take it, um..."Yinxiang raised his head and smiled, kissed my hair again, but stopped talking, just hugged me and shook me gently.

I know what's on his mind, no matter what, how can that happy and desperate Thirteen Lang feel better when he doesn't even have the right to set off firecrackers during the festival? He always feels that he owes me for letting me and He suffers together.

Seeing me looking at him, he suddenly made a grimace, and said with a smile, "Since it's taking advantage, let's have a thorough fight." I couldn't help laughing, "What else are you doing?" Yinxiang smiled and didn't answer , just turned around and raised his voice, "Xiao Taoer, go, get that cloak, the masters are going to sit on the rockery and let the kitchen serve wine."Xiao Taoer hurriedly responded.

Seeing me stunned, he lowered his head and smiled and said, "It's no fun to just listen to the sound, maybe someone else is taking advantage of it and setting off fireworks, so you can see it more clearly from high places."I laughed, and seeing him happy, I was also happy, holding Yinxiang's hand and was about to get up, when several loud "bang bang" gunshots came in.

I just felt that Yinxiang's hand suddenly froze, pinching me painfully, but I didn't feel the pain. My heart beat as if it was going to rush out of my throat, so I couldn't help but subconsciously hold my throat with my hand... This voice is too familiar It's so strange, I haven't heard it for three years.

Suddenly I felt my hands trembling, and after watching for a while, I realized that it was Yinxiang's trembling. I felt my mouth was dry and my heart was panicked, but I still mustered up the courage to look at him. She also twitched unconsciously, with a terrifying expression on her face.

Feeling Yinxiang's emotional excitement, I suddenly calmed down, stretched out my other hand and gently held his wrist, he trembled, looked down at me, and saw my calm smile, startled... I nodded slightly.

After a while, a smile suddenly appeared on his lips, before I could say anything else, Yinxiang turned around and raised his voice, "Come here, change clothes for the Lord, prepare the incense table, and receive the imperial edict".
