Leisure days in the cold palace

Chapter 27 Enron (End)
From the second day when Xia Shenxing was dismissed with a poem, Ziwei began to fall into the endless rainy season.

The continuous rainwater drips down from the thatched roof, falls on the muddy ground, or hits the propped up umbrella surface.

But more of them fell on people's shoulders, dimming those bright and colorful clothes.

It is inconvenient to go out, so I stay in the room.While teasing Xiao Ming for fun, he took the book explaining how to make Gu, and imitated Zixu dialect poorly.

The sound of the rain outside is very clear, and the sound of tick-tock makes people feel more peaceful, but I can't help but think of the things I saw last night, and I feel a little flustered for a while.

There were a few Ziwei who couldn't understand the characters, but they didn't dare to ask Fengzhang as usual. They always felt that because of what happened last night, there might be some embarrassment between us.

But at this time, Li Yishao probably didn't know where to chat and eat. Although Fang Ziqi's Zixu talk was better than mine, we didn't talk about anything since that day when we revealed the truth.

As for that little guy Chunxi, he's rather interesting these days.

Although my family Chunxi is still young, and her appearance can only be regarded as delicate, but here in Zixu, she is also the focus of attention of all the women.

The reason is that he is easily shy and blushes at every turn, which is very popular with the girls here, so that the girls here often tease him...

As a result, my family Chunxi became even more shy after being molested, and dared not go out all day long.

As for his Zixu dialect, I guess he doesn't understand much except for words like "little beauty" and "sister".

Holding something like a heavenly book in my hand, but no one can ask, I couldn't help but sighed, and simply threw the book aside.

Xiao Ming was doing exercises in the box, looking like he was having a lot of fun.

I pointed at it boredly and pretended to speak harshly: "Xiao Ming, run, or be careful to grow up and become a fat man!"

Xiao Ming turned his head when he heard the words, despised me with soybean-like eyes, and continued to twist his buttocks.

"Hey, how dare you be disobedient!" I poked its ass with the grass stick in my hand, turning into an authority figure like a parent.

After a while, Xiao Ming was tired from crawling, nestled in the corner of the box and shook his head left and right at me. I knew it was going to sleep.

There was nothing to do, so I looked at Xiao Ming in a daze.

Xiao Ming should be a shy child like Chunxi. Every time he sleeps, he would squeeze his head into the corner of the box, and after finding a comfortable position, he would curl his body into a ball.

Cute to the point of being pitiful.

Looking at Xiao Ming in the corner, my thoughts also began to become complicated. Thinking of the environment I am in now, thinking of the previous life and this life, I can't help feeling a little bit confused.

From Biquan Palace to Zixu, I finally got freedom, but here, I still don't know what I want.

I know that I can't stay here forever, but I don't know when and how I should leave.

The people and things here are not meant to be put down just by letting go.I have no way to completely abandon Fang Ziqi and they leave, but I also understand that the longer we are together, the deeper the bond will naturally be...

"What are you thinking, so ecstatic?"

Behind me was Feng Zhang's voice, and I turned around in surprise, only to see a trance-like smile on his still charming face.

When I saw it, I unconsciously remembered the scene from last night. I stood up after being stupefied, and greeted him awkwardly.

"Playing with Xiao Ming?" He saw the box in front of me, and smiled coquettishly: "In the whole clan, I am afraid that you are the only one who is so close to a Gu insect. You look like this, when you make Gu insects in the future So what?"

"I won't use him to make Gu, and I don't have any enemies, and I don't need to fight with others to kill you." I said.

Feng Zhang smiled softly and didn't say much, but there was a look of indifference in that smile.

I poured him hot tea, and some clammy air hovered between me and him.

He looked at the tea, but didn't drink it.

"You saw what happened last night."

He said this so suddenly that I almost choked on the tea.

"Nida and I are just playing around. The whole family knows about it, so don't worry about it." Feng Zhang's explanation was even more shocking, "You also know that the habits here are exactly the opposite of those in the Central Plains. Nida I won’t lose anything because of this incident, and as for me, I don’t even mind what people here think.”

I blinked my eyes, and thought it wasn't true, I'm afraid in the hearts of Zixu people, Fengzhang is the one who "doesn't obey women's ways"...

"I don't have anything to care about." Scratching my head, I remembered the way Fengzhang looked at Nida every time, "Does Fengzhang like Nida very much?"

Feng Zhang was stunned for a moment, then stood up, smiling very charmingly under the candlelight: "I look like this, what kind of woman can't I find? How can I just take a ladle to drink?"

……

……

In the days that followed, I felt that I really should find something to do for myself, so I went to Fengzhang to help.

He belongs to the identity of the chairman of the future generation, and he talks about everything, only occasionally grasping the general direction.

As for me, I am not familiar with the way of doing business, but I have some things of later generations in my mind. Although it seems strange, it can always be used by Fengzhang and turned into a steady stream of money.

So I was learning while coming up with ideas, which can be regarded as paving a way for myself.

Things have been well planned by me. After a while, when the affairs in Xiangguo have completely subsided, I should have learned some business practices by then.At that time, I can leave, just like I imagined when I was in Biquan Palace, go around and have a look, live in one place for a year or two, do some small business, and then leave.

For this purpose, I was very conscientious and worked hard to run errands for Fengzhang, and by the way, I received a fairly generous salary from him.

"Look at you, you're not going to tell Fang Ziqi." Nearly half a year passed like this, Feng Zhang watched me send the carriage dealer away, and stood inside the door talking leisurely.

His words have already hit the facts, so I naturally have nothing to say.

"Let's go, go back and have a good meal. I'll see you off."

Fortunately, he didn't hold on to this matter, he just brushed it off.

Almost no one in the clan knew that I was leaving. The reason why I kept silent was whether I was afraid of facing the clan or Fang Ziqi's eyes.

In fact, I don't know what kind of relationship I have with him. It's impossible to have no intersection, but I'm not so big, allowing him to think of another woman when he looks at me.

I ate dinner at Fengzhang's home, and this was the first time I knew Fengzhang's virtuousness. It turned out that he not only knows how to do business, but also cooks.

All four of us outsiders gathered together, and it was just a casual dinner in name, but in fact, both Chunxi and I understood that this was a farewell.

"I heard that pineapples will be ripe after a while. It turns out that when I was in Xiangguo, I didn't see a few of them all year round. This time I should try more." Li Yishao talked to the side as usual. Shouting and talking.

Fang Ziqi seemed to have noticed something, drinking the fruit wine of the clan one by one.

Chunxi and I were also quiet, unable to force a smile, until Li Yishao also felt the stagnation of the atmosphere, and slowly calmed down.

"It's difficult and dangerous outside, you're a woman..." Fang Ziqi said with some difficulty, his voice slightly hoarse, "Take care."

He raised his glass to me and drank it down.

"Ah?" Li Yishao was stunned for a moment, but he understood in the next moment, so he fell into silence.

"Thank you." I paid back to Fang Ziqi, but my heart was full of shame.

Suddenly, I feel that since my rebirth, I have been using others, using Fang Ziqi to escape from the palace, using Feng Zhang to escape from the hunt, and then abandoning them and leaving.

Only then did I realize that I was really cool.

There was silence, only the wine was drunk by the people present one cup after another.Soon, there was not enough wine in Fengzhang's house, so he went to someone else's house and borrowed two jars of new wine.

"At the end of the sky, at the corner of the sea, half of the best friends are gone. A ladle of turbid wine to enjoy the rest of the day, don't dream cold tonight." Fengzhang talked about the words I wrote at that time, and looked at the people present with a faint smile, "Changqing I am afraid that you have thought about it a long time ago, so you will write this poem at that time. Or, I will borrow your words tonight and drink this cup of dirty wine. happy time."

Maybe I really don't belong to this era, or maybe with my temperament, I can't afford any wonderful life other than ordinary.

Anyway, no matter what, I left Zixu with Chunxi, mixed into the world of mortals, and lived the little days of the sea.

We traveled from one place to another, from one country to another, watching the changes in the world, watching the changes of the situation, and occasionally inquiring about the stories of those friends scattered in the ends of the world.

I heard that Jinzhan, that is, Liu Shuwen, finally rescued his family, and used some means to reverse the case and rectify his family's name.

I heard that Fengzhang finally married Nida, or that Nida married Fengzhang.

The most earth-shattering thing is actually Li Yishao. After he had accumulated a lot in Zixu, he really used his three-inch tongue to incite a group of Baiyue people to fight for him, and under the banner of restoring the country, he fought with Xiangguo today. The emperor surnamed Rong had a stalemate between the north and the south.

I heard that now Li Yishao is what the people want, and maybe he will become an emperor in a short time.

But I have never heard about Fang Ziqi. He seems to have disappeared into the vast crowd without a sound.

But as Chunxi said, I have never been able to truly forget him, just like I cannot forget those days in the cold palace...

Another morning, I was sitting in the teahouse I opened drinking Pu'er, listening to the storytelling teacher, leisurely.

I think my life will always go on like this, watching the clouds rolling and relaxing in the sky, drinking tea and the various poses and expressions in the teahouse, until I reach the lonely grave thousands of miles away, there is no place to talk about desolation.

I don't feel sad, but occasionally dreaming back at midnight, I always find that there seems to be no big difference between now and when I was in the cold palace. The only difference is the size of the cage.

Laughing at myself, I bowed my head and sipped my tea.

Looking up again, he saw the figure outside the door through the mist of tea.

The sun was behind him, painting a faint golden edge on his whole body, the same tall and straight to aloof, the same green shirt and flying.

So the storyteller's voice sounded in his ears as if separated by a wall, and the noise in the world was diluted into the color of the background.

I don't know when the sunshine started, and it swirled around me secretly, with a warm feeling, driving away the cold brought out from the cold palace.

So the heart finally settled down, no need to search, no need to wander.

I looked at him and laughed.
