A Collection of Old Sayings by Fourth Sister You

Chapter 221 Meeting the Best Him: Red Dust (56)
56
It was a peaceful night, as expected, Seventh Master and Twelfth Master shared a kang. Although the two elders were brothers, due to the usual estrangement in the emperor's house, it was rare for them to have the opportunity to share the same bed.Thinking about it, he didn't sleep well, and when he woke up the next day, there were blue shadows under his eyes, and he was sitting in the living room with dark eyebrows, and his eyes were slow to see people.

Dingyi gave them cloth and served them breakfast, neither of them spoke.She looked at them with her chin propped up, thinking back then, these two belonged to two palaces, and she begged everywhere for the summer solstice. He was a prince, with a smoldering royal demeanor, and his eyes were more or less arrogant, She felt that she had to look up at others.Now, the two of them are bedridden, one has lost his focus, the other is listless, and they are no longer what they used to be.

Sometimes men are really like children, they show their faces when they are in a bad mood, but they are all good-looking, and they don't look too annoying.The man came to collect the bowls and chopsticks, but they were still sitting and refused to move the nest, so she didn't make a sound, and got up to feed the fodder in the stable behind.

Strange to say, the road from Changbai Mountain to Ninggu Pagoda was plagued by wind and snow, but it was sunny after arriving.There was sunshine for four or five days in a row. Although the sun shone on my body, it was still bone-chillingly cold, but it was a comfort anyway. Seeing the sun seemed to bring hope.

A gust of northwest wind blew past, the branches and the thatch of the roof trembled, there was snow everywhere, the sky was white, and the sun was white.She squinted her eyes and took a breath, the cold air filled her chest, and then slowly exhaled, forming a mist in front of her eyes.

The inn not only entertains guests, but also has special rations for livestock.Horses can't eat grass, so they have to eat beans. If they are well-raised, they can crack eggs into the beans, so as to ensure a bright coat color.

Dingyi bowed to scoop up the beans, turned around and saw Master Twelfth rubbing his eyes, she stopped, put the dustpan on her waist, and when he approached, she asked with a smile: "Did you sleep well last night?"

He nodded, leaned against the wooden pole of the stable next to him, sighed and said, "The old man probably did it on purpose. He punched and kicked me all night, and I'm not prone to seizures, so I suffered several times for no reason."

She felt distressed, frowned and muttered: "This man is really, don't pretend! He came all the way here just to make people unhappy."

He lowered his head and described it as pitiful, "I think so too, I knew I would go to your room in the middle of the night, no matter how small the single room is, a man and a woman are not too crowded. Two old men can't hug each other, He was still restless when he was asleep, I just watched his cheeks swell and then shrink, it’s because I can’t hear, or it’s worse.”

Dingyi was also annoyed, "Then why didn't you come? My place is quite spacious, enough to sleep two people." After thinking about it, it's not all right, falling asleep on a kang, even if you don't do anything, it's not a decent place, Then he blushed.

Hongce smiled ambiguously, paused for a moment, and whispered in her ear: "There will be a lantern festival at night, I expect Qi Ye must go together, and when there are many people, let's get rid of him and go far away, let's play My son, don't take him with you anyway. It's so easy to go out for a walk, and he always makes a threesome in the middle, what's the point?"

She naturally wanted to be alone with him, and she complained no less than him, so she responded softly, "I'll follow your instructions, and I'll know if you wink at the right time." Said, "Actually, I mentioned it to Master Qi several times before. At first, he was afraid of sweeping his face, so he always declined, talking nonsense, and he didn't take my words seriously. He only knew that he was happy and had to follow suit." His idea. Later, I didn't care about that much anymore, and I slapped him in the face, but he still wouldn't take it in, and now I can't do anything about it."

He raised the corners of his lips slightly, and his smile in the morning sun was extraordinarily bright.Thinking of her cry from the bottom of her heart yesterday, let alone one old seven, even ten or eight are not in his eyes.

This girl is amazing when she is brave.He always felt that she was easy to be shy, reservedness is something that grows in a girl's bones, even if she loves deeply, she will not say it easily.As a result, she was cornered by Lao Qi, and she yelled regardless. He saw that mouth shape at the time, and he couldn't believe it.He held back his words for a long time but couldn't speak, and finally the girl opened his mouth first. Compared with him, he should be ashamed as a majestic man.

As for Lao Qi, he was disgusted but not hated.His bluntness and rampage really helped him sometimes.One person is good, but more often than not, another not-so-good person is needed to set off, and Lao Qi plays a contrasting role.If you really want to say that he is bad, in fact he is not. The old seven are not bad, but they like to join in the fun and mix things up. One tendon is tied up, and you have to untangle it to understand.But he has one good point, at least he doesn't hurt others, and his straightforward and quick temper is far more kind than the one who likes to fight in his stomach.For example, the second child, Dong Qi, why is the seventh child always unemployed, because the second child is a man with a heart, even if he becomes the emperor, the seventh child still looks down on him, thinking that he is far worse than Prince Dongli, Dong Li Give him a few grasshopper gourds, which he has been thinking about until now.

"I know your heart, that's enough." He looked at her with affection, "Dingyi, I saw what you said before you left yesterday, and I was so happy that I didn't close my eyes all night."

She couldn't think of it for a while, and said hesitantly, "What are you talking about, so people like you?"

His eyes flickered and he didn't dare to look at her, he murmured and said: "You said you love Twelfth Master, Seventh Master heard it, I saw it, it's too late to think about it now."

She said aloud, "Did I say that?" Looking back, she was really pissed off, how come it happened so happily.Aiming at poking Qi Ye's heart, but things backfired, he was crazy all by himself, the more he took him seriously, the more frightened he became, and he really got stronger.The goal was not achieved, but the Twelfth Lord was recruited.It's a bit embarrassing to say, but she's not guilty, she's telling the truth, and she's not afraid to let him know.

The Twelfth Master nodded, and his tone was affirmative, "You said it, it's absolutely true." After finishing the sentence, he lowered his eyelashes, turned his head slightly and said, "I wanted to tell you, but I interrupted because the waiter was serving food Yes... I also admire you in my heart. Although you knew it earlier, you have to say it again. You are at ease when you are with me. I don’t have the problem of three wives and four concubines. , put your heart at 120!"

It's really interesting for the two brothers to tear each other down, Ding Yi held back his laughter, and his heart felt hot.He said that admiration seems to be a step further than pure love.He lifted her up high, and with his status, he would rather be inferior.Perhaps the deeper the love, the humbler it is, and the same is true for emperors and generals.

Dingyi began to look forward to the lantern festival at night. During the day, he had errands to do, but Lu Yuan's men arrived, but he couldn't act rashly.It's useless to just catch the slaves, Yue Kundu and Suo Luntu's gang must be wiped out, so that the subsequent cases can be carried out in an orderly manner.

As for Qi Ye, pointing out the country is not on the right track at all.He knew a lot of truths, and he was far inferior to the old twelve in terms of actual combat experience, and he realized it himself, so he kept silent, and turned to please Ding Yi, who wanted to take her to a tailor shop to buy clothes.

She declined again and again, "Thank you for your kindness. We are here to handle the case. It is inconvenient to move around after changing clothes, so don't mess with everyone."

Qi Ye shook his head and shook his head: "Poor boy, I haven't worn skirts for many years. I don't know that our flag dress has big slits, and there are trousers underneath, so it doesn't hinder riding."

She made up her mind not to try to win him out, let him refuse everything, Qi Ye was not happy, and his face was stretched.He was a pampered and pampered son of heaven, he had never been coaxed by others, and there was no reason for him to coax others, so he snorted, shook his hand and left.

She would like to go out for a stroll and buy clothes, but it depends on the person.The twelfth master was idle, and with a little wink, she scrambled out through the waist door, telling the seventh master that if he knew about it, he would probably be very angry.

She asked from behind, "It's not good to be wandering around at the moment, is it?"

The Twelfth Master said: "The more it is at this time, the more casual it is. We stare at others, but they may not stop staring at us. We talked about the deal on the second day of junior high school. What's the matter with being stuck in the inn on New Year's Eve?"

She couldn't resist, and followed behind him.Looking up at the distance, there is a bustling crowd, full of people who buy new year's goods.

This is an important border town, an extremely cold place, unlike Beijing, women wear thin pleated skirts and satin jackets.Women here also wear furs like men, the rough ones are directly sewn, and the fine ones are of course also high-quality, such as embroidery, filigree pinching, and so on.The Twelfth Lord is a man of discernment, a man who grew up in the pile of brocade brocades, he is used to looking at the palace clothes and interior decorations, and he is very good at picking things when shopping.Dingyi has no idea, she hasn't worn women's clothing for more than ten years, and when she enters a tailor shop, she looks around, does this and that, and keeps smiling with her eyes bent.

Every girl loves beauty, and she has dreamed of it countless times, always thinking that one day she will take off this man's skin and wander happily in the pile of makeup.Came here today, feeling a little like a dream.Look at this crane cloak, look at this lying rabbit, they are all exquisite and delicate, this is what women should wear.

The Twelfth Master also asked her what she meant, asking if she liked this or that, but she just smiled, "I have poor eyesight, so I'll listen to you."

He pulled her over to have a look, picked out a warm jacket with a lotus green sable chin and a ermine skirt, and gestured at her with an autumn-flavored ermine skirt. There is a source for everything, and it's not an estimate that doesn't show up on the outside.

Hongce smiled at her, "Go and try it, I'll be waiting for you outside." He asked the shopkeeper to find her a pair of suede boots with cloud pattern, and sent her to the curtain.She hadn't worn women's clothes for a long time, and she was timid. He smiled encouragingly and gave her a light push on the shoulder.

She changed inside, and he waited outside, waiting until his heart was pounding and he couldn't control himself.I don't feel cold anymore in such a cold day, I squeezed the sweat in my hands.Going to pick again, there are all her faces in front of her eyes, all of them look good on her body, his presupposition must be a beauty that does her part.

It really didn't disappoint him, when she came out from the inside, when he turned around to look at her, he was shocked violently.

She approached step by step, with a little panic in her eyes, and awkwardly tugged at the corner of her skirt, "The material is tight..."

I was used to seeing her in official uniforms before, from the black cloth with red edges of the Shuntian government office servants, to the outfits of the guards later, although she was beautiful, the clothes were discounted, and it felt like a thousand miles away.Today can be regarded as back on the right path, he looked at Pingting's appearance, she should be like this, every step is full of lotus, every step is full of charm.For a moment, I thought I was wrong, and I was not sure about the person in front of me.He squinted his eyes for a long time to distinguish, yes, his Dingyi has such an astonishing beauty, beyond his imagination.

He went up to meet her, pulled off a white fox fur Zhaojun jacket, and re-tied her hair and put it on.Looking at it carefully, looking at it, my heart is about to pop out of my throat.It was only at this moment that she realized that she was really a woman. In the previous love, her gender was only a vague concept.Now that she was right in front of him, it was time to face up to it. She was a woman who needed his best care throughout his life.

He smiled subtly, and with a gentle voice lingering on top of her head, he straightened her bun, "It's just the right size and looks good."

She blushed, and put her hand on his belt, "I'm going to learn to curl up my hair from now on, so many hairstyles, buns, swallowtails... I was very envious of others, those ladies in the sedan chair." It’s so nice to tidy up, but I don’t even know how to use the flat square.”

Now there are no difficulties for Hongce that cannot be solved. He said: "I will learn, and I will post it to you every day from now on."

The face under the fox fur is so small, after hearing his words, a big smile appeared, "Then what if you are far away from me?"

"Come find me no matter how far away, I'll be waiting for you." He raised his hand to scrape the delicate outline, imagining her disheveled hair and holding a comb across half of the Forbidden City, he thought it was funny.

They flirted with each other as if no one was around, and the shopkeeper in the store was not in a hurry to make a deal, but just said: "My sister is so beautiful, why don't you choose a few more sets? According to my sister's figure, there is no ready-to-wear suit here that she can't wear. As a rule, you should buy new clothes for the New Year, and I also have them. Look at this sable, only the emperor can use it in the capital, and the common people wear it as a pass. Here, we don’t pay so much attention. As long as you have money, you can also be a sable. Take the emperor."

He didn't go online either, since he was far away from the imperial city, he inevitably had his own custom, so he said, "According to this, the shopkeeper's business is booming."

The shopkeeper let out a snort, "Let's make do with it, big money and small profits, and you've done all the work. Didn't you read the couplet written by my door, the first couplet is [-], the second couplet is [-]?"

He laughed and said, "That horizontal batch should be due to the lack of food and clothing. It's so pitiful."

"Exactly!" the shopkeeper grinned, "If you are greedy early in the morning, you can exchange for two hard-earned money."

He greeted Dingyi, "Choose two more bodies, it's here anyway."

She shook her head, "It's not easy to take along on the road, I'm just drawing something fresh today, and I'll buy it after I settle down."

He also complied with her wishes, took out a bank note and handed it to the shopkeeper, the amount far exceeded the price of the clothes, and said: "Today, my father is happy, and the rest will be counted as a reward, and I will also make a profit for you." .”

The shopkeeper took the banknote from the leader and saw that the amount was in the thousands, "Oh, it's really... Thank you for your reward! You see, you are such a generous person, and God has favored you for finding such a beautiful family." Open the cabinet and give me a pair of earrings, which are Dongzhu produced in this place. They are not too big or too small, and they are considered to be of market value.This is how a human being should be. If you take advantage of a small profit, you should be grateful and be a human being. People respect me a foot, and I respect others to go a long way.

The two thanked each other and came out, Dingyi twirled the earring and said with a smile: "I had ears and eyes when I was young, but now I can't, I can only watch."

"That would really hurt your ears when you get on the sedan chair." He looked down at her with a smile, and he would be more worried if he looked at her more.I haven't been so satisfied in so many years. When she is complete, she is also complete. It is an incredible feeling.

I wandered on the way when I came here, I don't know how long it took, and it was sunset when I returned to the inn.The clerks in the store started to light up the lights, and clusters of red and green were clustered under the eaves.Today is the New Year's Eve, and none of the guest rooms in the store are vacated. They are all foreigners who are doing business and cannot go home for the New Year. The boss will send a bowl of stewed tofu with smoked bamboo shoots to each table as an extra dish for everyone.

When I entered the hall, the hall was very lively, and everyone clasped their fists and greeted the new year.Hongce escorted Dingyi back to his room, and met Qiye who had been waiting for a long time in the corridor.Qiye was angry at first, complaining about favoring one another, how can he compete happily and fairly?Seeing them coming from a distance, he wanted to say a few words happily, but when he saw the little tree, he was immediately surprised.The dried sweet potatoes in her mouth fell off, and her hand stopped in the air, pointing at her "ah" for a long time, unable to speak.
