A Collection of Old Sayings by Fourth Sister You

Chapter 209 Meeting the Best Him: Red Dust (44)
44
It is much more convenient to climb the mountain during the day than at night, and the foot trip is fast, and it takes half a day to arrive at Huangzhuang.Everyone was tired, and fell asleep after filling their stomachs hastily, and slept until the sun was high, Qi Ye got up, stood under the porch and punched.The straight line is for attack, and the curve is for defense. He muttered "the spirit is strong, and something is created out of nothing", and hit Xiaoshu outside the door.The door was closed, I stretched out a finger to poke the paper on the window, peeked into the room, there was no one on the kang, the mattresses were neatly folded, no one knew where they had gone.

He looked left and right, but he didn't see the birdcage. Could it be that he went to walk the bird outside the village?Or for a walk, and got mixed up with the old twelve again?Qi Ye was not very happy, and was very annoyed by his guess.Why don't you just go to Hong Ce's place to have a look, it's like being caught by someone, and I feel angry and anxious.Today I have to make it clear that Mu Xiaoshu belongs to him, no matter how entangled the old twelfth is, he can't help but want to show his power.

He stopped punching in this box, turned around and went up to the old twelve, Sha Tong and Ha Gang were standing outside the door, with their waists straightened and their stomachs retracted, like the two generals Heng Ha in the temple.He straightened his face, walked over in four directions, and cleared his throat loudly.Sha Tong is a fine human being, when he saw him, he jumped over in three or two steps like a clockwork.

"Master Qi is here?" He grinned and said, "Look at this bright and energetic guy, I dare say he just finished punching. Are you looking for our master? The slave will make you a pot of tea, and you go sit in the room?" "

Qi Ye was silent, and looked forward, "Tongzi, have you seen our little tree?"

Sha Tong is the confidant of the Twelfth Master, relying on a pair of sharp eyes to work as an errand, his cleverness is unmatched by anyone.What's going on with Mu Xiaoshu, what's going on with Qiye, and the intricate relationship with their master, he knows all about it.This is a scene of two dragons robbing pearls. Master Qi is well-informed. Their master is a young child, how should he deal with him?
He shook his head, "I didn't see Bodyguard Mu, she's serving the birds for you. The bird breeders get up early, and probably go out for a walk. Even though it's cold, you have to let the birds sing and sing, or you won't be idle for a long time." I even forgot how to make a sound."

Qiye ignored his gag, the more he said he didn't see it, the more he suspected that Xiaoshu was in the old twelve's room.Not much to say, he lifted the corner of his robe and entered the door. He raised his eyes and saw a copper stove on the table, and the light smoke filled the room with sandalwood. He didn't like the smell, so he subconsciously tucked his nose.

Old Twelve was not in the main room, just about to look for him, he opened the curtain and came out, raised his eyes hurriedly and called Seventh Brother, and just lowered his head to think about his tiger's mouth.

Sha Tong's eyes were sharp, it turned out that Twelfth Master had a big gash in his hand and was bleeding out.He was startled, and hurriedly drew a veil over to wrap up the wound.

Qi Ye didn't understand, so he blinked and said, "Meet an assassin? How did you do it like this?" While talking, he walked into the room, pulled the corner of the curtain and looked around the room. There were thin bamboo strips all over the place, but he didn't see anyone else.He breathed a sigh of relief, he was relieved that Xiaoshu wasn't here, turned around and smiled, and said gently, "You too, take it easy, it's so cold, it's hard to heal when you get hurt. Hey, what are you playing with?" ? Look at these bamboo blade knives."

Hong Ce replied vaguely: "It's nothing, I'm tossing around." He quickly poured tea and asked him to sit down, "Brother Seven, is there something to do this morning?"

Qi Ye said it was all right, "After punching and wandering around, I came to you by the way." After speaking, he glanced at him, and Hong Ce sipped the teacup, looking like an old god.He pondered for a while, Xiaoshu and Old Twelve walked around too often, and refused to let him, so sooner or later there would be trouble.Don't look at the old twelfth who doesn't hum or haw, the biting dog doesn't bark, and he shaves his head and picks up his hair. When they hang out together, it will be difficult to separate them.

He sucked his lips, intending to exaggerate his close contact with Xiaoshu and tell Hong Ce.I can't take care of the promised things, it's better to grab people as soon as possible.He cleared his throat, "Then what... I talked a lot with Xiaoshu yesterday, he has always trusted you, did you mention it to you?"

Hong Ce didn't react much, he stroked his hand and said no, "What did Seventh Brother say to her?"

Qi Ye grinned and said: "I have seen and played with everything in my life. I have what others have, and I have to have what others don't have. I like Xiaoshu, and I plan to take him in. How about a male concubine in the mansion, isn’t it a precedent for our British clan?” He was complacent, “I know that many people dare to think about this matter, but I’m not afraid anyway, when I return to Beijing Just take care of it. My slave, how I like to deal with it is my family business, and no one can control it."

Old Twelve has practiced the ability to hide his emotions and anger since he was a child. After Qi Ye finished speaking and observed him carefully, he still looked calm, but he paused for a moment, then took the lid of the cup to scrape the foam from the tea leaves, and said softly: "Seventh Brother, think twice. After all, it's disgraceful to say such a thing. You are the master, but since you like her, it's okay to listen to her. What did she say? Do you know what you think?"

"Of course I know, I've mentioned it to him a long time ago. He has a tender face and won't agree to it, but that shy little appearance really hurts..." He clicked his mouth twice, and laughed with his neck crooked, "Let me tell you, I stole some incense yesterday, and it tastes good when you sip it. It's the first time I've seen a man, and I know I shouldn't, and there's nothing I can do about it. There's nothing wrong with you. don't know."

Hong Ce's hand under the sleeve of the arrow slowly clenched, and Lao Qi deliberately came to tell him what it meant?warn?show off?He knew the difficulties of Ding Yi, and it was too late to regret it now, if he had kept him back then, why would he have taken so many detours.His own mistakes, all his faults.Lao Qi took a slanted sword and dared to make a move without knowing it. His courage is admirable.Brothers shouldn't hurt their friendship at will. There were conflicts in the past, which were nothing more than power and profit. He was more modest, even if he suffered a disadvantage, it was fine.This time it won't work, money and status can be earned again, and if the person you like is lost, you have to worry about it for a lifetime, and you must never let go.

He was not in a hurry before, he was considerate of her loss of a loved one, and did not ask her to accept it immediately.But Lao Qi suddenly made an attack and had to let him face up to this problem.Dingyi has always been in a disadvantaged position, and when she encounters injustice, she feels uncomfortable, and she has to digest the discomfort, because she has no ability to resist.Hongtao did this, and even came to tell him that if he didn't have good self-cultivation, he would have to roll up his sleeves and beat him up.This spoiled and domineering bastard never considers other people's feelings.Usually, when brothers fight for victory, everyone gives in to him. Fortunately, he is more and more complacent and intolerable.If he is in love, Dingyi will pay it back with him. Unfortunately, this person is unreliable. When he likes it, he is very good, but when he is new, he throws it behind his neck.Dingyi had a hard time since she was a child, if she spends the rest of her life waiting, it will be worse than Coptis chinensis.

"I don't understand this. Seventh brother is a player. My brother has little experience and has no such ability. But we were born in the emperor's family, and the first thing is to be worthy of the responsibility on our shoulders. You do this..." He smiled, "Forgive me for disagreeing. .”

Pure jealousy!Qi Ye is still very proud, thinking that he hit the old twelve's seven inches, and this kid is accusing him of crimes!He squeezed his chin, "I know I'm a bit of a cunt, and this problem didn't just happen today. Whether it's brothers or Ama, which one doesn't know? Go ahead, there are quite a few pieces of meat."

Hong Ce pursed his lips and said nothing, and turned his gaze elsewhere.He just didn't understand why a person who has made no achievements should let everyone accommodate him?I work a hundred times harder than him, but not half as good as him, and my fate also depends on the dishes, God is no different from an eunuch!
Qi Ye is full of ambition, his purpose is to make Hongce unhappy, and when he is unhappy, he will be happy.Xiao Shu hid it, didn't he continue to let the old Twelve Xiao think about it.That kiss yesterday was like a bannerman cutting mountains and land, it was his in his hands, Hongce can only stare blankly!Are you speechless?The rivalry between brothers starts today.Everything else is easy to talk about, except Xiaoshu can't give in.He tried it last time in Shengjing, and he recognized Xiaoshu's door as they didn't match men and women.If he let go of this, wouldn't he have to suffocate to death for the rest of his life!
The two brothers had their own concerns and kept silent. Seventh Master left after sitting for a while. Hong Ce stood blankly in the center of the earth, made up his mind, and resolutely turned around to enter the inner room. Felt lifted Lao Gao behind him.

There was nothing to do that day, Ding Yi finished the walk and the bird was tying tassels in the house. Qi Ye came to see her, but she excused herself by saying she was sick.The Twelfth Master said that he would make up for her birthday tonight, and they both landed on the Double Ninth Festival, since it was also his birthday, at least he had to show something.She can't afford expensive things, and she's not good at embroidering pouches and sweat towels. She learned how to tie ties before. When she was passing by Qingyuan, she bought pearl threads and gold threads. Let's make some tassels.Let the Twelfth Master hang it on the sword and the purse. Although the things are small, it is her wish.

As I waited impatiently for Xu, the sky darkened little by little, and I looked across a few rows of houses, and the prince's place was far away, and I couldn't see clearly in the thin snow.Originally, it was so far away, but she was dreaming right now.Make up a story for yourself, and it's over when you're happy.In this life, I will only meet one Twelfth Master, and her thoughts are like clouds, let's leave it for later to savor slowly!
As soon as the clapper rang, it was time.She wrapped the tassels in a handkerchief, and straightened her appearance in front of the mirror before going out. It was a pity that she couldn't wear women's clothing.There is no lip balm, but the red paper is ready-made, and after taking a sip, the complexion is much better.

Going straight south from Huangzhuang, I went to explore the road when I was walking the birds in the morning. It used to be a sun-drying field, a huge open area, about ten acres in size.Idle in mid-winter, covered with a layer of snow, it looks white and soft, like the silk cotton stuffed in armor.

But after standing there for a long time, no one could be seen from far or near.She stood there a little flustered, don't remember the wrong time, why is there no movement?Or did Master Twelfth forget, and she was so happy for nothing?
Just as she was in a dilemma, the sound of a deer whistle could be faintly heard. She turned her head and saw that the ground turned into a slightly arched semicircle under the light of the flames. Many Kongming lanterns came out from nowhere, in different sizes, and pasted with five-color oil paper, very slowly. The ground rose up, one after another, connected into an array.

She let out a low cry of joy, and hurried to catch up. The lamp flew higher and higher. Looking up, the suet wax at the bottom of the lamp was sizzling, and it slowly floated over her head.She squinted her eyes and watched, and her heart went away.

In the past, looking at the lights and the scenery was nothing more than joining in the fun of others, and had nothing to do with myself.Now the times are changing, like the Tsing Yi Hua Dan on stage, knowing that she is a role, the taste is really different.

The flying snow all over the sky is not the kind that forms a ball, but is fine and dense, sweeping over a piece, weaving it into a blinding yarn.In the haze, she caught a glimpse of a tall figure, holding a horn lamp in her hand, walking over from a distance, she took two steps towards him and then stopped, waiting for him under the sea of ​​lights with a smile on her face.

The Twelfth Master was wearing white fox armpit arrow sleeves with azure blue and white flowers. Although it was cold, he didn't wear a cloak, but he still looked sharp and energetic.The soft light illuminated his face, his eyebrows stretched out, and he had an indescribable character.Gradually approaching, standing face to face, his eyes tactfully flowed across her face, paused for a moment, turned his head to look at the lights rising into the sky in the thin snow, and asked her if she liked it.

Dingyi was so moved, how could he not like it.She said: "I have never had a birthday like this. In the past, when I had a long tail, the master cooked two boiled eggs. It was already a very happy thing. How could I expect to put on a lamp? Oil and wax are so expensive. Light a Kongming lantern." Enough for half a month at home... Twelfth Master, Huangzhuang is very remote, where did you buy so many lights?"

Hongce smiled calmly and said, "All the materials are complete, you don't need to buy them, you can make them yourself, and you can make whatever you like."

She sighed in surprise, "So much, how long did it take you?"

He said: "After returning from the Aha barracks, I made one hundred and eight in one day and one night. You are eighteen, and this number is just right."

One hundred and eight, starting from splitting strips, building flower stands, pasting covers, and tying oil wax, it takes a lot of effort.He didn't sleep all day and all night, no wonder there was a blue shadow in front of him.Dingyi has mixed feelings in his heart, he is a prince, why are he so bothered about it!She muttered, and said coyly: "A slave is not worthy of being treated so kindly by Lord Twelfth. I am a person in trouble. Lord Twelfth didn't ask me about my crime. I am already grateful."

His eyes sparkled, and he slowly smiled, "I don't care about your life experience, and don't dislike my ear disease. Life is not easy, and we all have our own misfortunes. Don't look at my noble status. Although I worked hard to get the hat, it is still thanks to having a father who is the emperor and an elder brother who is the emperor." He lowered his head to look at her carefully, and the light from the horn lamp shone on her face, she was white, gentle and lovely. people.He tentatively put his hands on her fingertips, "Dingyi..."

She was shocked, this name has been dusty, and when he said it, it reminded her of her parents and elder brother, she couldn't restrain herself for a moment, and she burst into tears.

He quietly watched her cry, without persuading her, he just felt pain in his heart.Grabbing her hand, his thumb caressed the back of her hand lingeringly. The lantern fell to her feet. He raised his hand to wipe her tears. The skin was so delicate that it made people tremble. What kind of country and city... I don't know what to say. You cry, I feel like a needle in my heart. Do you understand this feeling? You were too bitter before. I didn't participate in the past 18 years. In the next 38 years, For 48 years, I want to spend time with you."

He usually handles cases and sits unsmilingly in the courtroom, and his dignity is forced by the environment.As for abandoning his official duties, he is still a shy person in private, and he doesn't easily strike up a conversation with girls, let alone make a long speech about his love.Dingyi is different. A girl who is pampered and raised in a deep boudoir is certainly cute, but it is even more respectable for her to survive such hardships and still live tenaciously.

She raised her head in panic, his face was blushing, but his eyes were clear and firm.She was a little dizzy, and suspected that she might be a little confused, the relationship between them was always invisible, separated by a thin layer of window paper, it seemed to be precariously weak, but also as indestructible as a copper wall.She thought it would go on like this forever, but he suddenly revealed the truth, and she couldn't believe it was true.

"Master Twelve..."

His finger brushed the corner of her mouth, and squeezed her words between his lips, "I have a name. Originally, we were descended from Dongli, Dongqi, and Dongsheng. Later, my second brother Yuji, brother We have to avoid the taboo and change Dong to Hong, so my name is Hong Ce." He smiled at her, "From now on, just call me by my first name, don't call me Twelve Lord, it's too far away, and I'm not popular."

Dingyi's heart beat uncontrollably, he looked at him in astonishment, unable to speak.He pursed his lips and smiled, "Such a clever person, are you stupid? Or did I scare you?" He whispered, "I'm not as eloquent as Qi Ye, and I don't know how to please people. The second point of marriage, I found an opportunity to shirk it, so I haven't married Fujin until now. I have a disability myself, and it took a lot of courage to confront you. I am really afraid that you will embarrass you and humiliate you. Although I am not good, but I am sincere to you. Now I have nothing else to say, only to promise you, I will live up to you in this life... I know that I am very abrupt this time, I don’t want you to answer immediately, it is a matter of life, you should think about it, don’t make it easy in conclusion."

She moved her lower lip and gently held his fingertips back.How could she refuse? In fact, from the first time she saw him, he was deeply imprinted in her heart.She just couldn't believe that this happiness came like this. She no longer knew what night it was, but she knew in her heart that he could be the master of himself, not the whole clan.But even if she couldn't agree, with his words, she was willing to die.

She looked into his eyes, and through the shell of water, his face had never been so clear.She said: "After I became a prisoner, my father and elder brother's crimes would never be cleared, and I would never see the light of them for the rest of my life. At first, I also hoped that the Wen family would be rehabilitated, but now that Ru Liang and the others are dead, it doesn't matter whether the case can be overturned... ...If I follow you, I'm afraid I won't be able to climb up to you. I know in my own mind, I... want to be with you, I have always liked you." She blushed, but her eyes did not avoid it.She felt like a warrior on the prairie, cowering before but braver than ever.She heard her own trembling voice, "I can't stand up to others with my identity, and I don't want you to make it difficult. Find an alley and settle down, and I... will be your outer room."
