A Collection of Old Sayings by Fourth Sister You

Chapter 257 Meeting the Best Him: Red Dust (92)
92
As the sky darkened little by little, bonfires were set up around the camp, and the pine wax was burning and beeping.

Guan Zhaojing came out of the tent with a change of clothes, and saw a man squatting in the open space outside, with his back like Fujin.I don't know what I'm busy with, I just see the tree branch and sketch on the ground.

He leaned over to look, "Are you arranging troops?" Looking carefully, it doesn't look like it, it seems to be drawing a small figure.

She raised her face and said with a smile, "I'm drawing strings, and it's been almost four months since I left Beijing." She compared her hands, "He was only so long when I left. The child grows fast, and he should be able to sit up now." gone."

Guan Zhaojing snorted, "Then this is how the little master is sitting?"

She nodded and pointed to him patiently, "This is the leg, and this is the arm."

Guan Zhaojing said in his heart that this painter is really not very good.Bending down and looking carefully, "What is that, it looks like a copper coin."

"This? These are the eyes. Everyone in the Yuwen family has a golden ring in their pupils. It's so beautiful."

Stop drawing now, it can't be like this if it looks good, it's all ruined.Guan Zhaojing smiled bitterly, "I know you miss your little master, it's okay, this battle won't last long, the Qianfeng Battalion has already joined Sai Yinnuo Yanbu, and I guess it will take another month before we can return to Beijing triumphantly. It's cold in the night, you go in! The master is done with his work now, you can talk to him."

What else can I say, the more I talk, the more I miss it, I'm afraid I won't be able to get on the road.She shook her head, "The scenery outside is nice, I'll squat for a while to wake up."

Guan Zhaojing smacked his mouth, that's it, be careful not to freeze.The doctors here are all Mongolian doctors. I think the medical skills are abstruse, and they are treated like animals in their hands.

She smiled and said, "Go ahead and leave me alone."

Guan Zhaojing answered yes, and left with his clothes in his hands.Looking back after a distance, the Thirteenth Master came over with a Goshha, and they Fujin put down her painting, got up and went up to meet her.

She opened the curtain to let them in. The king's tent has two layers, inside and outside.She took the tray in Geshha's hand, and smiled at Thirteenth Lord, "Thank you Thirteenth Lord for helping me, I will remember your kindness when I get to Yincao."

The Thirteenth Master nodded, "I should have followed in. I'm afraid that the Twelfth Brother will be suspicious, so I'd better wait outside! The Twelfth Sister-in-Law, you are so benevolent and righteous, as a younger brother, I admire you. But after all, it is a matter of life and death, you You have to think about it carefully. There is only one glass of golden flake wine, and if you give it out, one person will die. If you spill it, it doesn’t count. There is another one, brother twelve, even if he can be spared the death penalty, he can’t escape the living penalty. You still have a son, really Do you want to risk your life for your life?"

She took a deep breath, nodded and said yes, "You know my background, it's worth it to exchange my humble life for him. Don't worry, I will make it easy for you. In the future, our master will definitely ask you more Please take care, Your Majesty gave me some kind words, and I thank you in advance."

She knelt down to salute, and he gave him a little support and said, "Don't worry, sister-in-law [-], with my old thirteen here, I will clear up my grievances for brother [-] in the future."

This is enough, you can go on the road with peace of mind.She smiled happily, said no more, turned around and entered the inner tent.

Hong Ce was biting his lip, picking up the small flags in the sand table, moving from hill to hill, still studying his strategy.She put the tray far away on the desk, brought a glass over, and touched him with her shoulder, "Have a glass of wine and warm yourself up."

He was a little surprised, "Drinking is not allowed on the march, this is a military order."

She rolled her eyes at him, "Are you talking about the military order with me? The military order doesn't allow women to be brought in, isn't I in front of you now?"

He thought for a while, then laughed to himself, "I really can't speak."

Two glasses of wine, one on the left and one on the right, the left hand is full of gold flakes, and the right hand is a burning knife.He stood facing her, and stretched out his hand to take it. It was supposed to be the cup in his left hand, but she handed it over with his right hand.

"I've been in Khalkha for several days, and the two of us haven't had a good drink yet. You are always busy, and no matter how busy you are, you have to take care of yourself." She took him to sit down, looked at him brightly under the lamp, her eyes covered After a layer of water mist, it looks more and more bright.Try to soften your tone as much as possible, and earnestly told him, "Don't go to bed too late at night. The manager said that victory is in sight, so you can also breathe a sigh of relief. After you return to Beijing, take Xian'er to your side, and we won't kiss each other for a long time."

He hummed, "It's all up to you. After this incident, I don't plan to ask about government affairs anymore, and I will follow Brother Seven and be an idle prince."

She smiled and said: "Qi Ye is not easy now, Fujin governs the family strictly, and he has entered the Aircraft Department as an errand."

He wasn't surprised at all, so he leaned on the pillow and said, "It's time to improve, so as not to keep scolding in front of the emperor."

She lowered her head and smiled, and said softly: "Our son is already on the ground, and he hasn't married yet, so let's skip other customs. Let's have a cup of wine today, and I'm married to you."

There was a flash of light in his eyes, and he looked at her very intently, "I'm the one who's sorry for you. When I go back this time, I will take care of it and make up for everything I owe you."

She nodded and said yes, the wine glass was hidden under the sleeve, passed through his arms, and sang softly: "Pinch the happy flowers and wear them all over your head, pour a few ounces of wedding wine, and the magpies and birds land on the edge of the room... ..."

She closed her eyes and drank the wine in the glass.All the hesitation and sadness before were gone, the pressure was let go, and my heart was strangely relieved.Waiting for death is nothing more than that.She took the glass from him and got up to put it back on the tray.Put the two side by side, and after careful consideration, it is better not to be in front of him, in case the ugly death will make him sad.

"I'll send the cup out and ask someone to bring water to wash you up." She turned her head and smiled, and walked towards the door step by step.

Thirteenth Master came in at this moment, glanced into the cup, slightly raised the corners of his lips, "Twelfth Sister-in-law can't run around now."

You have to confirm your breath before it's over!She stood still and had no choice but to fold back again.

"Brother Twelfth, did my sister-in-law tell you about the emperor's gift of gin?" Thirteenth Master sat down in the armchair, crossed his fingers and rubbed the bridge of his nose, "Today is the last day, my brother has a job, so I have to For that."

Hong Ce frowned and looked at him, "What do you mean?"

"Brother Twelfth, don't panic." He glanced at Dingyi, "I'm always thinking about my brother, how can I bear to watch my siblings die? Today Twelfth Sister-in-Law came to see me and begged me for one thing. You know how to reward the second cup, in other words, someone must die on top. Sister-in-law Twelve is a good woman, she would rather replace you, and I will have something to say after returning to Beijing. The emperor can no longer give you death, at most, you will be banned. Order the Clan Mansion to conduct a thorough investigation. The Clan Mansion is in my hands, Brother Twelve doesn't have to worry about that..."

Hong Ce felt as if he had been punched hard, almost vomiting blood.He never expected that she would come up with such a good plan, what is this?Do you sacrifice your life to save your husband?
He turned to look at her, she was standing alone under the lamp, with tears in her eyes, but no sadness on her face.I think I have no regrets!But what about him?How can he accept this reality?He staggered over and hugged her, "Dingyi... I can't live alone even if you die. What do you take me for, you are still lying to me in the end!"

She held his face, wiped his tears, and murmured sorry, "I'm stupid, I can't think of any other good way to save you. Don't blame me, I've never been so proud in my life, I finally It's been useful once, and even death is a worthy death. It's just Xian'er, you have to take care of him with all your heart. I left nothing behind, only this son. You can find another mother for him, don't tell him who his real mother is, don't let him He has known sadness since he was a child."

But he couldn't listen anymore, he tremblingly pulled her wrist to feel her pulse, his mind was so confused that he had no idea.

He knew that this kind of poison was so severe that it could not be dissolved, and there was only one dead end.I can't see the reason for the pulse condition, so what can I do now?He went from death to life for the imperial court, and in the end he ended up like this. It has been like a dream for more than 20 years, and now I can see through it when I walk out of the fog.

"I don't know what I did wrong. The worst mistake is probably being born in the emperor's family." He shook her hand vigorously, "Don't be afraid, I will accompany you even if you go to hell. We have been separated for too long , Just now the reunion is like this again, I am also bored and want to take a rest. What do you think? Is there any pain?"

She shook her head and said no, pulled him to sit down, and brushed his drooping hair away, "Don't let me sacrifice in vain, and I don't want you as a companion on the road to Huangquan. The two of us have to leave one to take care of Xianer, who is dead. He's really an orphan."

They talked eloquently, without crying, but it made people see the trauma.Hong Xun thumped the table, and finally couldn't stand it anymore, "I can't stand it anymore, why do you ask me to do this kind of thing, I lack great virtue!"

He suddenly made a sound, and they both looked over in a daze. He wiped his face and smiled mischievously, pointing to the empty cup and said, "That's the bezoar made in the ancient way. When it grows, a layer of light will condense on the surface. Look at it." Like gold flakes." He thought it would be a shocking effect, but the expressions on their faces didn't change, he was a little anxious, "I don't understand? Twelve sisters-in-law didn't drink gold flakes wine, but bezoar wine... Although the wine is a cure It's shocking, but it's okay for ordinary people to drink a cup."

Hongce finally walked towards him, he took a big step back in fright, stretched his hands and said, "Brother Twelfth, don't get angry, don't kill Zhongliang by mistake... I am not the mastermind, I am just an accomplice. You have to settle the score It was his idea to find the emperor, they instructed me to do this..." He felt that his life was in danger, so he stood on tiptoe and called Dingyi, "Sister-in-law Twelve, I didn't mean to tease you, please help me quickly, Don't call Brother Twelve rough."

Dingyi was dumbfounded for a moment, and suddenly turned around, how could it become like this?She stood up and felt that there was nothing unusual, but isn't it a bit too much to make such a joke?
"You said that someone in the court impeached the Twelfth Master." She stared at Hong Xun in a daze.

"That's right, there are." Hong Xun swallowed, "There is more than one, all of them speak with certainty."

"Then what about the collaborating documents you showed me? Wasn't it written by Lord Twelfth?"

He was forced to the side of the cowhide fence, hid behind the armchair and said: "It was written by the twelfth brother. It was a letter he wrote to the leader of Khalkha, ordering him to fight together. You can't understand it. I just brought a letter." Use...don't,don't...brother, don't get angry, listen to me."

Where Hongce could still listen, he was almost pissed off by him.Was what happened just now a joke?Is it the first time to be fooled by others like this, and it is their purpose to make him sad and make him feel miserable?

"Come here, I'll keep some strength in my hands, and I promise not to kill you." He hooked his hands, "Come here."

Hong Xun was not stupid, he was determined not to say it, "That's right, I have followed her since Twelfth Sister-in-Law left the capital, how about she escaped the wolves in the Gobi Desert? Can she sneak into my camp so easily? I am the escort all the way. She came to you, you have to thank me... I have to blame you for the mess you made earlier, and stabbed Ama in front of her. Ama said that this girl came from a bad way, because she was kind to the old twelve, and used him to give her money. The Wen family overturned the case because they didn’t really love him. The second elder brother said no, he had already been blown away by the queen’s pillow, so he said good things for the twelfth sister-in-law. Ama didn’t believe it. This game, let people drill in..." Hongce took a book and threw it at him, hitting his head. He groaned, covered his forehead and said, "My child! Xian'er! That's the secret leaked by Sha Tong! He Seeing Tian'er staring at Shan Lao Hutong, he didn't come to Mobei this time, he was looking after the children in Wen's compound! There is also Lao Qi, he also has a share! You can't blame me alone, I have worked harder than anyone else It's all over now, the matter is over, I wrote back to Beijing, Twelfth Sister-in-law was willing to die for her, and Huang Ama had nothing to say. So what... I have to try, I don't feel relieved. Twelfth Sister-in-law , what offended you Haihan, I also doubted you, you did a good job, you are more righteous than a man, I admire you."

Anyway, he was teased by their co-workers once, Dingyi felt bad, but seeing Hongce lose his temper, he still had to go up to dissuade him, "I don't blame everyone for being suspicious of me, it's because I didn't do well, and they test me. Within reason."

Hong Ce was still angry, "Since that's the case, shouldn't we stop here after drinking? What did he mean by what he said later?"

Hong Xun murmured: "I want to see how deep the relationship between you two is... I was wrong, I shouldn't have seen your jokes. But brother twelve, have you ever thought about why the emperor asked sister-in-law twelve to come to you Intention? It stands to reason that we shouldn't presume holy intentions, but flesh and blood... ahem, because of family affection, I advise Brother Twelve not to return to Beijing after the victory of the war."

Hongce calmed down, and said slowly: "I think so too. The fake gold flakes are just a warning, and it should be true next time. Hongzan's party feathers and the imperial court cannot be wiped out all at once, after all, there is still the second uncle. Let me Stationing in Khalkha is tantamount to exile, and the emperor has an account for all parties."

Hong Xun sighed, "All of us, to put it bluntly, are brothers, please go to An Zhezi to see, which one is not a self-proclaimed slave? There is no way, we must make a living under the hands of others, and we must not take the blame at a critical moment. The twelfth brother is transparent Man, the emperor has treated you well. He has sent you Fujin all the way. As for the children, you don’t have to worry about them. They are still young, so they may be raised in Changchun Garden. When they grow up, their bones will become stronger. Come to Khalkha too."

Hongce turned around and asked Dingyi, "What do you mean?"

Not going back is actually in line with her wishes, she is a humble person and cannot integrate into the circle of those royal relatives.A home in Khalkha, with the one she loves, is enough.Even Xian'er, she still couldn't let go.The child is her heart and soul. She hasn't seen her for several months and can't sleep well at night thinking about it. She will be separated for a few years. I don't know what it will be like.

But she couldn't ask for more, she said with red eyes: "I'll listen to you. Xian'er is too young, let him travel thousands of miles, I'm afraid he won't be able to bear it. It doesn't matter where I go, as long as I'm with you Together. As for my master and senior brother, please ask the thirteenth master to take care of me. And Hailan, I don't feel sorry... I often want to leave the capital, but now I really don't want to go back, and I feel that something is wrong fell."

"That's okay, I'll bring you whatever you need. Besides, the feudal city is here, and it's not really exile. There is still your Prince Jiu's mansion in Sijiu City. If you want to go back and have a look, no one can stop you You guys." The thirteenth master was a little melancholy, and muttered with his hands behind his back and his neck raised, "I also want to have a daughter-in-law and a son, and I can't go back after hiding in Khalkha. That capital city—a big dye vat! If you stay for a long time, you will die sooner or later." It stinks."

He walked away with three sighs, and Dingyi and Hongce looked at each other, feeling like they were alive after a catastrophe.

That's it, it's better than he imagined.

"When the war is over, I'll take you to my original house, which is on the shore of Lake Khuvsgul. The place is very beautiful. You can see flocks of water birds in summer, and there are solitary smoke and sunset on the grassland in the evening, and there are herds of cattle. Sheep." He smiled lightly, as if the beautiful scenery was right in front of his eyes, "I will pick sea buckthorn for you in autumn, it is that kind of small fruit, I told you about it, when I first came to Khalkha, I sat on the slope I can eat a basket a day. In fact, in the past years, my best memories are about Khalkha. Now I come back here, but I feel more comfortable than in the capital. No need to act according to anyone's face, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, we can live freely."

She looked at his smiling face, the ice and snow melted, and her heart brightened up.

A person's life, going round and round, riding through thousands of waves, maybe just because he wants to meet the right person.When you meet, you have tasted both sweetness and bitterness, and that is called consummation.It's not good to just make you happy and not cherish it when it's over.So God arranges for you, this section is a little more difficult, and that section is a little more comfortable, and it is a great joy that the two can even out.
