dream back to qing dynasty

Chapter 7 Trouble
The sky is a light blue, and the breeze blows on the face, bringing the taste of early summer.I walked quietly on the corridor, looked up at the narrow sky above my head, took a deep breath, and suddenly felt that the feeling this time was similar to the time when I lost my way, and some inexplicable thoughts were swirling in my mind... "Girl, Go this way." I was startled, turned my head to look, and the eunuch of Changchun Palace was looking at me, "We can't stop, we will be late."

"Ah, I'm sorry, please lead the way." I nodded apologetically. "Well, let's go." He turned around and continued to walk forward. I moved my steps, but I couldn't think of the thought that just flashed to me.I thought about it while walking, my head was getting bigger, but it still didn't work, I secretly let out a breath, I should give up for now, if I think of it casually, it would not be called a flash of inspiration. "Hehe!" I couldn't help laughing, the little eunuch couldn't help but look back at me with some doubts, and I also looked back with some doubts.He froze for a moment, turned around and muttered something in his mouth. "Haha..." I silently laughed hard behind his back, feeling that I was bored, but I was in a much better mood, and put aside those troubles for the time being.

"elder sister."

I couldn't help but pause, who is this calling?I looked around, but there was no one... Could it be that I also saw a ghost...

"Sister." A hand patted my shoulder lightly from behind. "Ah!" I couldn't help shouting, turned around like a thunderbolt, and saw Minghui standing behind me, and I was also startled.

"what happened?"

"Hey, you kid, what are you doing?" I held my beating heart tightly with one hand, and stared at him.I was startled, and instinctively calmed myself down. This kid is very delicate, and he is the most guarded person at home. I had reminded myself to be careful, but I didn't expect him to appear in front of me so suddenly... We Just looking at each other like this, I know he is thinking about me, but I can't think of what to say or do for a while, so as not to arouse suspicion.I was sweating non-stop, and just as I was deciding whether to faint, the eunuch came up and said, "Master Minghui, you are..." Minghui paused, turned around and said with a smile, "Eunuch Fu, I just wanted to say a few words to my sister."

"Well, but the eldest girl has to go to the Changchun Palace to meet her. Today is the first day, and the master is still waiting." Eunuch Fu said flatly.I was delighted at the side, well said, I have to leave right away, the sooner I go, the better.I saw Ming Hui walking up: "Eunuch, just for your convenience, I often walk in the palace, I don't know, I won't miss it." Then he took out something and stuffed it into Eunuch Fu's hand, and then pressed it in his ear again. I said something softly, and I stretched my ears, but I could only vaguely hear something like "Master..."

"Hey, what is this talking about? When my sister enters the palace, she has to give some instructions. OK! I'll go over there and have a look. Hurry up, I'm also responsible for it." Fu Gonggong smiled. I walked to the side, I glared at him, seeing how happy he was, the fool also knew that he gave a lot of money, just now I thought I was walking slowly!This dead eunuch...

"sister?"

"Ah?" I turned my head and saw Minghui was already standing beside me, watching me grit my teeth. "Hmm!" I coughed, and asked calmly, "Did you ask me for something?" I secretly gathered my energy and prepared to fight. "Ah, I know that my sister has gone to the concubine De, and it's not very easy to meet in the future, so I'll take some time to meet you." I smiled lightly: "Well, I'm fine, thank you, Mom What's the matter with Er Niang?" I cautiously switched to a safer topic.

"Ah, Ama and his wife are very good. Although they were not selected, it is also very good to be a female officer. It is better to go out when you are old enough than to never see each other." I nodded: "It's good for them to feel at ease, Auntie and younger sister, how are you?" He smiled: "It's fine, I'll be back in a few days, the other one came and asked someone to pick it up. Uh-huh..." Ming Hui also cleared his throat, I see Looking at him, I knew in my heart that he still had something to say or wanted to ask me, so I lowered my head to pretend I didn't know, and didn't want to pick up the words and shoot myself in the foot with a brick.But I was also secretly thinking about what he wanted to say... I suddenly remembered that I heard him tell Fu Gonggong about the master just now, could it be the eighth master...

"Elder Sister, I didn't have time to say anything when we met that day, so you left with the eunuch."

"Ah, yes, rush to Chuxiu Palace, the masters are waiting there." I said with a smile, I already understood in my heart that I really came to pry, and wanted to know me and the Thirteenth Master in a roundabout way. What's up with them.Seeing that I didn't agree with him, Minghui bit his lips, lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking, after a long while, he suddenly raised his eyes and looked straight over, as if making up his mind: "Sister, that day..."

"Uncle Ming, it's getting late, we have to hurry up." Eunuch Fu came back from a stroll, I secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and decided to take back the comment about the dead eunuch. when!Otherwise, I really don't know how to answer Minghui's question, and I don't know how to say it is not wrong...

"Girl, let's go."

I raised my head and glanced at Minghui, he had no choice but to know that there was no longer any delay, so he smiled: "Sister, take care, I will find a way to visit you so that I can tell you the news from home." I smiled and nodded: "You too, tell the master and wife that I'm fine, don't worry about it." He nodded, turned and left.I looked at his back, with mixed feelings. I really don't know what he means to me in the days to come, family?friend?Or... the enemy?
After entering the palace, I put on the uniform of a female official and stepped on the bottom of a flowerpot. The first job I accepted was to count and clean some antique vases and porcelains of the Empress Dowager Defei. It was very simple, but I was very interested.This is much more refined than the imitations exhibited in the Forbidden City!I couldn't be more excited to get my hands on these priceless works of art, and so much more.

Empress Defei is a gentle and loving woman, she didn't say much when she saw me, she just gave me a few instructions as usual, and then assigned me this job, and didn't ask me to serve her.Anyway, I took her as a kind of care, and I was very glad to have such a comfortable start, so I happily moved those vases and porcelain to the shadow under the porch, fetched a basin of water, and brought some clean ones. Just sit on the small bench and work happily.so beautiful!I can't help sighing, how envious those modern art masters and connoisseurs are, hehe... I can't help humming a song in a low voice...

After a while, I suddenly felt something was wrong, as if there was something... "Eh?" Suddenly, I found a figure in the basin, ha ha, I snickered, it seems that Brother Thirteen wanted to come to his daily routine again, heh heh , I pretended not to know and pretended to be busy, but soaked the cloth in my hand with water in the basin, then stood up abruptly, turned around and threw him over, throwing him head and face. "Haha, let's see who is scaring who this time, but you..." I laughed and looked up, and I stopped suddenly, feeling that I was about to lose my breath, and the drops of water were sliding down my forehead to Si A Brother's dark and cold eyes...

The water drops continued to slide down to my resolute thin lips and then flowed down my chin. I just watched the water flow in a daze, and instinctively rushed forward to wipe it with my sleeve: "Fourth Master, I...I'm not, I thought It's...it's not you..." I rubbed incoherently in a panic, and suddenly met his gaze, fixed and dark, looking at me without any other movements.I looked at him too, my mind blank.

Suddenly realized, what am I doing?I actually wiped him with my sleeve, I just felt a rush, all the blood was on my head, I was dizzy for a while, and I couldn't help taking a step back. With a sound of "clang", the water basin was kicked over, splashing all over. "哗啦" The pot hit those vases and porcelain again, and the sound from it really made me shudder.If it breaks something, oh my god... I didn't care about the pain in my heel, so I quickly turned around and squatted down to check and clean it up, but fortunately there was nothing serious.I breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the ground.

"My god, I was scared to death!" Wiping the sweat with his sleeve, huh?How is it wet? "Drink!" I woke up suddenly, swallowed my saliva, and used all my strength to lift my heavy head up and down, but the fourth elder brother was still standing there, not disappearing.All the functions of my body seemed to disappear in an instant, I just looked at him quietly, I couldn't move, I just looked at him... A smile flashed in those eyes suddenly, I blinked, was my eyes dazzled?How is it possible... Just as I was thinking about it, everything suddenly returned to its original state, even colder than before. I was stunned when I heard footsteps, and I couldn't help but tilt my head to look.

"Heh, which song is this singing?" A joking voice came from behind Fourth Master, it wasn't Brother Thirteen, I hadn't heard it before, I unconsciously stretched my neck to the side vigorously.Suddenly Fourth Master took two steps to the side, and an imposing boy appeared in front of me.He was leaning against the moon gate and looking at it with a smile. He was taken aback when he saw me suddenly, and smiled after seeing me twice.It was only then that I realized that I was still like a poplar with a crooked neck. I was so embarrassed that I hurriedly stood up and took two steps back uncomfortably.This time, I didn’t feel blushing at all. It seemed that I was ashamed a lot, and my face became thicker. I couldn’t help but smiled wryly, shook my head, and heard the boy talking, so I calmed down and listened carefully...

"Fourth brother, did you just get caught in the rain? Be careful of catching a cold, ha ha." The boy said with a smile.The fourth elder brother glanced at him, just took out a handkerchief and wiped his face: "Didn't you go to beat Buku with Lao Jiu and Lao Shi? Why did you come back so soon?" After finishing speaking, he looked at him indifferently, Really majestic.The boy was not afraid at all, and still had a playful smile on his face: "Brother Ten suddenly had a stomachache, so the teachers let him go. He wanted to go falcon hunting with Brother Thirteen. He said he wanted to come here, so I came with him." Brother looked out. "He has already gone in first. I heard the servants say you came first, so I came to look for you. I didn't expect to see you..." He looked at me with a smile, and I bowed my head respectfully and rolled my eyes. It was a good thing Going out, I still feel very lucky today, it seems that I was too happy too early. "Well, let's go, the empress may be waiting." The fourth elder brother walked away without looking at me.

"Hey……"

"Ah!" I was startled, only then did I realize that the boy came up to me, looking at me interestingly, I stood still, and leaned down: "Slave please greet the master, good luck." I bent over Body, after waiting for a long time, I felt that my legs were a little sore, and I was secretly thinking of cursing.

"Well... let's get up."

I stood up and stood aside. "You are the new lady officer, whose family?" the boy asked. "Return to the master, from the Yalarta family." I said lightly, I had already guessed who he was, and I was not afraid of him. He was not as tense as the thirteenth master, nor was he under the pressure of the fourth master. I don't feel anything.What's more, I knew his result a long time ago, and I couldn't help but raise the corners of my mouth slightly, didn't I?Brother Fourteen was just a poor man in the end, alas...

"It's you..." Elder Fourteen looked at me meaningfully, and smiled maliciously, mocking me?I was a little angry, and said without thinking: "It's me!" After finishing speaking, I wanted to give myself two mouths!Haven't I had enough trouble today?She couldn't help but blushed and took a step back. "Your servant is rude." I lowered my head, a little worried about the consequences of such an offense, will I be punished to kneel down, starved, or even beaten?I tried desperately to recall in my mind what I said when I learned the rules of the Ministry of Internal Affairs...

A hand stretched out and lifted my head up. I instinctively wanted to break free, but he pinched my jaw and couldn't move.I feel that this action is a bit insulting, but I can't help it. I just put my face down and looked at him calmly.Brother Fourteen stared at me for a while, then suddenly smiled, "You are really interesting." The enemy in the dark, I struggled violently, shook off his hand, looked at him in surprise, and guessed what he was thinking...

Seeing that the gap in my calm mask finally cracked, he laughed happily, but I really wanted to cry.It's only been a few days since I entered the palace, who else I didn't provoke, is the plague god possessed?I just want to come and go quietly, but it seems that I have a string of firecrackers hanging on my body, and it will ring wherever I go, for fear that others will not know.I was thinking wildly, Brother Fourteen took another step forward, I took the opportunity to retreat, feeling a little impatient, too many things happened today, my reason is no longer enough, what did the movie say of?If I can't bear it anymore, I don't need to bear it anymore. If he takes a step closer, I will...

"Fourteenth brother!" There was a soft heck, and I looked up, and the thirteenth elder brother was standing by the doorway looking at this place, his face was really... I shivered. "What are you doing here? I'm waiting for you today, my lady left some food." Elder Fourteen turned his head and smiled, "Here we come." I looked at Elder Thirteen foolishly, and suddenly my cheeks felt hot. I didn't understand what was going on, but only saw the anger in Brother Thirteen's eyes became more intense, and then I realized it.It seems that they were really born by a father, they are all perverts.I took a deep breath and looked up. Brother Fourteen was smiling happily and a little provocatively; Brother Thirteen had no expression on his face, but he clenched his hands tightly.I glanced at him, then turned to Elder Fourteen, he was looking at me with a smile, I raised my hand, and wiped the place where he kissed with my sleeve... His face turned red when he got nervous. "Huh." Elder Brother Thirteen laughed lightly, I didn't look at them any more, I just leaned down, "The servant is resigning." I turned around and packed up my things and left.

After turning two corners and arriving at the warehouse, I put away all these antiques one by one, and felt my hands trembling and my face was a little wet.When I touched it, I realized that tears were flowing. I sighed, sat down on a stool, and massaged my temples vigorously with my fingers... Impulse really kills people. I really regretted it a bit, so I reminded myself not to cause trouble, just do it. I don't know if it's because of the pride of the fourteenth elder brother, or the anger of the thirteenth elder brother?I don't know what kind of punishment I will receive?Leaning on the back of the chair, looking at the tall Chengchen... Forget it, it's already done, it's useless to say anything, besides, brother Thirteen will help if I get into trouble... I stood up abruptly , I secretly warned myself not to have such stupid thoughts again, or I would kill myself sooner or later. Thinking of this, I felt an inexplicable hurt feeling in my heart. I shook my head and decided not to feel sorry for myself anymore, and continued to work Bar.I suddenly felt a little hungry, looked out the window, the twilight was getting darker, and I didn't know what time to eat here, so I had to find someone to ask, which was a big deal.

"Kuukou" someone knocked on the door, I turned around and saw the little eunuch Li Hai poking his head in, and heaved a sigh of relief when he saw me, "Miss Ming, let me find you! Go quickly, the master is calling you!" I Looking up, I really have no words to ask the heavens, what should come will come after all, and those who were punished on the first day of official work probably set a record. "Heh..." wry smile... the little eunuch looked at me inexplicably, I adjusted my breathing, and turned my head: "Let's go."

I followed the little eunuch unhurriedly, looking at the surrounding scenery while walking.When I entered the Changchun Palace, I only visited the main house of the empress, my house and the warehouse, so now I don't know where I am going, but I don't want to ask Li Hai, because I feel a little lazy.Maybe I have encountered too many things recently, and I am a little tired. I know I should be afraid, but...

"Huh!" I couldn't help but sneered, and I seem to have acquired a quirk of sneering recently, it seems that the palace can indeed make people abnormal, I hope I won't become a sneering weirdo before I go home.The little eunuch looked back at me from time to time, I pretended not to know, but now I knew in my heart that nothing serious would happen, otherwise I would have been arrested long ago, why would I send someone to look for me like this?Even if the fourteenth elder brother went to his mother's ear to whisper something, it would be a big deal to make the mother not want to see it. Anyway, I never thought of climbing along the pole and getting ahead, let him go.

The grass on the side of the gravel road is green and there are no flowers. It is very simple and has a certain beauty of simplicity.It seems that the concubine de concubine is just like what is written in the history books, she is a clumsy person and doesn't like that kind of prosperity and luxury.Just as I was thinking about it, when the path turned around, it suddenly became bright, and the lights ahead were brightly lit. Li Hai signaled me to stop and wait a while, then walked forward, lifted the door curtain and went in, presumably to make an announcement.I looked around, and there were eunuchs and maids carrying vegetables, fruits, and toilet utensils all the time, but it was quiet and there was no sound at all.The two extreme feelings mixed together made people feel quiet and depressing.snort!This is the so-called royal dignity... I suddenly found myself sneering again, and couldn't help frowning. This bad habit is not good.

"Miss Ming?"

"Ah?" When I looked up, I saw Li Hai was waving at me, beckoning me to go in.I nodded, took a deep breath in secret... walked in with a steady pace...

It smells so good!As soon as I walked in, I smelled a sweet fragrance. I don't know if it is sandalwood or musk. It smells very good and has a feeling of peace of mind.This is good, just what I need right now, so I took a few more strong puffs.Suddenly felt a few eyes shot over, and subconsciously turned to look for it.drink!Startled, the fourth elder brother, the thirteenth and the fourteenth elder brothers were sitting around a table and eating.The fourth elder brother took a look at me, then picked up a chopstick and put it into his mouth to chew slowly, his eyes drooped, his face was expressionless, and he didn't know what he was thinking.Brother Thirteen took a glass of wine and looked at me intently.I was taken aback, and smiled unconsciously, but immediately felt that this was not very solemn, it was a modern etiquette, and it seemed inappropriate here.I was a little embarrassed, but I saw Elder Brother Thirteen smiling at me, raised his head and drank the wine, I felt relieved, and also slightly happy.Elder Fourteen was also holding the wine glass, just lazily leaning on the chair, looking at me thoughtfully, my heart tightened, knowing that the scene just now had fallen into his eyes, I quickly woke up secretly, don’t Mistake again.

"Mingwei?"

"Ah?" I restrained my mind and hurriedly raised my head, only then did I notice that the concubine De concubine was leaning against a curtain, I took two steps forward, and squatted down, "My servant pays my respects to my empress, your auspiciousness."

"Well, get up."

"Thank you, Ma'am." I was blessed again, and stood still, wondering what she asked me to do while she was having dinner with her sons.

"Xiao Wei?"

"Ah, yes." I straightened my face.

"I'll call you Xiaowei from now on, huh?"

"Yes." I bent over. "How's it going, are you done tidying up?" Concubine De asked. "Yes, back to the master, I gathered all the small pieces of porcelain today, but there are a few porcelain bowls from the official kilns of the Song Dynasty that were placed in boxes and were not used. Those objects are thin and easy to break. I didn't dare to move, please show me, master." I replied clearly and steadily.

"Well, is there a count?"

"Yes, it's the same as the brochure given by Eunuch Fu, with only minor additions and subtractions, and the slaves have recorded it in a separate booklet." I replied.

"Well, he is a clean and sensible child."

The figure behind the curtain swayed, like a lady sitting up: "Come on, get rid of this shit, I gave birth to it, what are you pretending to do?"

"Yes." Several court ladies and eunuchs hurried up to pick them up.I took a peek and saw that the empress concubine De was dressed in an autumn-colored flag dress with only a bun and a pearl hairpin inserted obliquely, she was looking at me gently, I hurriedly lowered my eyes in a respectful gesture. "It seems that Erniang has got a good girl today." A joke came, it was the fourteenth elder brother.I swallowed my saliva, not knowing what he wanted to do..."Yes." The empress Defei's tone was much happier, she seemed to be hurting her youngest son, "Xiaowei, go and greet the men." I paused and walked forward Go, didn't look at them, just bowed his head and bowed in a dignified manner: "Slaves greet the masters, the masters are auspicious."

"Well, get up." The fourth elder brother's indifferent voice came, and my heart couldn't help trembling. I hurriedly stepped back and stood aside. "The sons haven't toasted Erniang yet." The fourth elder brother raised the wine glass, and the thirteenth and fourteenth elder brothers also hurriedly did so. "Yes, Er Niang has to drink this cup of filial piety no matter what." Elder Fourteen said with a smile.The palace lady hurriedly brought a glass of wine, and the Empress Defei happily raised her glass: "I don't like to drink alcohol, but I have to drink this glass anyway." She raised her head and drank it all, and the elder brothers followed suit.Thirteenth brother laughed and said: "Emiang can drink well, but she doesn't drink with us. She thinks we can't hold too much alcohol, and drinking is boring!" The empress smiled "Puchi": "You are the only one who can make me happy! Where is this? What the hell, I'm getting old, I can't drink anymore." He smiled and shook his head. "Who said, Er Niang looks young, only in her early twenties!" Elder Fourteen said with a laugh. "Nonsense, not serious at all!" Concubine De laughed and cursed, very happy.I watched from the side, ten 34 made her laugh and laugh, but the fourth elder brother sat quietly on the side, a little out of place.I can't help thinking that the Empress Dowager Defei seems to love her younger son more, but for her eldest son...

I looked at the fourth elder brother and thought about the conflict between mother and son after he became emperor and concubine De became empress dowager... Sigh!Although he is so indifferent, he is human after all, and he needs love from others.I turned my head subconsciously, and looked over with some pity... A deep gaze was sweeping over, and when I met it, the fourth elder brother was obviously taken aback. I was startled, and quickly turned my gaze, feeling a little hot on my face .I suddenly felt that there was no sound in the room, but I didn’t dare to look up again. God knows what they saw just now, and why, in fact, I just feel sorry for him...

well!I don't know why, but I feel guilty, so I just stood there holding my breath. "Hmm!" Concubine De cleared her throat, "Xiaowei, later on, son, go and bring me the list you changed today. I know you can read and write, and there are still some things for you to do. Do it, Mr. Fu will look for you, go." She said very gently, her tone did not fluctuate, but I knew in my heart that these people are masters of hiding emotions, and everything is written on their faces accidentally like me. There are few on the Internet.Oh, good luck to yourself!I leaned down very calmly: "Yes, the servant is leaving." I turned around and blessed my elder brothers, took two steps back, turned around and left, without looking at them again, and dared not look at them any more .

I walked quickly, and finally passed the corner. Seeing that there was no one else around, I exhaled hard, patted my heart, my heart felt a little uncomfortable, I moved my neck, and felt a little stiff. I was really nervous just now.Thinking about what happened just now, I couldn't help shaking my head. Some people say that this person will definitely do three things that he regrets in his life, but I have already regretted it twice and a half today. Does this mean that my future will be smooth?Never do anything you regret again?Or do I just need to do something I regret half once more, and my life is over? "Bah bah!" I shook my head vigorously, really unlucky... Alas!Forget it, a longer brain and memory are better than anything else...

I looked up at the sky, trying to calm myself down... well, let's go, I decided to go down to eat, and then go to get the brochure, and there is another summons tonight.I looked around, and based on my impression, I should go to the right. After thinking about it for a while, um, I went to the right. Just as I was about to walk, I heard footsteps. I was startled. When I looked back, I saw thirteen My elder brother is walking towards me from the Yonglu Road... Oh my god, I almost didn't cry. Could it be that my remaining half time will be used up soon?
