Red Mansion: He Doesn't Want to Bend

On the same day, the Prince of Shu County was convicted and imprisoned. In the end, the men were sentenced to exile, and some of the female relatives were sentenced to be official prostitutes or sold.On that day, Princess Shu County was sentenced to be an official prostitute. Because she was in Beijing, the Empress Dowager and Murong were always caring for her, so she was rescued early and sent to another courtyard.It was Su Guiying, who was locked up with Princess Shujun and was sentenced to be an official prostitute.It's just that she is young, so she has to be trained for several years before she can come out to pick up guests.Therefore, the mother and daughter had to be sent to different prostitutes, and they were separated the night before.

On that day, Su Guiying was only accompanied by the wet nurse, and the Princess of Shu County told her ten thousand times that she only asked the wet nurse to take good care of Su Guiying.Never thought of saying goodbye even forever, no matter whether it is the nurse or Su Guiying, I will never see her again in my life.

Murong Zhizhi's complexion was frozen, and his mouth was bitter.He raised the teacup in hand and took a sip, trying in vain to suppress the bitterness on the tip of his tongue.It's just that the tea was cold, and it was so astringent that it made people flustered, the tip of the tongue was bitter to the heart, and even the heart was tormented.

He suppressed the blockage, because he asked Xin Fu: "Is the wet nurse still alive?"

Xin Fu replied: "It hasn't been clarified yet, but the line of the Shoumaguan was involved, and the next step is to follow the vines, but it will take some time."

"I've checked it out." He paused, and then said, "You don't need to interrogate her. If you find her, bring me to see her in person."

"Yes." Xin Fu responded, and Murong Jizhi waved her to order her to go down.

Because of this incident in my heart, my mood fluctuates, and I can't calm down.So he ordered Xing Ji to come in and grind it, and copied a volume of the Lotus Sutra.Although the chapter is completed, the handwriting is scribbled, and none of the words catches the eye.

He dropped his pen and stained the scroll of scriptures on the table.After sitting for a while, he got up, walked to the door, and said: "Blazier cage."

Xing Ji then ordered the servants outside to bring in a brazier and put it far away because he thought it would smoke him because of the hot weather.Murong Zhizhi took the scriptures on the table and threw them into the brazier casually, his eyes were solemn and his face was calm.I just watched the volume of scriptures being scorched until it curled up, and then slowly burned to ashes.

He murmured: "Having killed so many people, I have no Buddha in my heart."

When the master speaks self-deprecating words, the slave is the most detestable.Xing Ji lowered his head when he heard this, but he didn't dare to lift it up.Even though he is Murong's confidant, his master's mind is unpredictable.To be a slave, the first thing to learn is not how to serve others, but how to be a deaf and dumb person.

"Xing Ji..." Murong Zhizhi closed his eyes, then opened them again. "For a person like me, who is covered in killing and bloody hands, even if there are gods and Buddhas in the sky, they will definitely not protect me."

Xing Ji's heart was beating wildly, he suppressed it, and almost squeezed out a voice from his throat: "Master is a royal family, a son of a dragon and a grandson. If the gods and Buddhas in the sky don't protect you, who should protect you?"

Murong Zhizhi twitched the corners of his mouth: "Whether you protect me or not, it's already here. I just hope that they will open their eyes and protect Zijing, and I will remember it in my heart." After finishing speaking, he turned around and sat back behind the desk, Pick up the pen and dip in the ink again.He frowned tightly, as if he was not in danger, but he didn't pause for half a minute when he wrote.Even the three points of hesitation in the past were all turned into ashes along with the volume of scriptures.

When the ink on the paper was dry, Murong Ji stuffed it into a cowhide envelope and sealed it with wax paint.When the matter was over, he called Xing Ji to come forward and said: "Go back to the capital quietly, go to the Kangxian County Prince's Mansion, and hand this letter into his hands, so that no one will know about it."

Xing Ji's heart shuddered.Murong Zhizhi came to Suzhou, but today the emperor does not know, but the Supreme Emperor knows.Now he purposely added this sentence, in order not to let anyone know, but it is very clear.Xing Ji didn't know what was written in the letter, but when he took it with both hands and put it in his arms, it felt like he was holding a huge boulder, and it weighed heavily on his heart, making him breathless.

Murong Zhizhi's gaze is like a knife, he wished he could goug out three inches of human flesh and flesh at the first glance.He added another sentence: "Remember, I want you to go in person."

"Yes, all the servants know."

After Xing Ji bowed his body and retreated, Murong Zhizhi heaved a long sigh.Hard times are yet to come, and this is nothing now.However, thinking of Lin Jue, his heart became a little more relaxed, and a smile appeared on his face involuntarily.As long as he is by his side, even this bitterness can have a sweet taste.

Outside, Xin Fu explained what Murong Yizhi had ordered, and ordered someone to withdraw the account to pay the monthly money.Seeing that Xing Ji hurried over, he said in a quick voice, "You all go down."

For a while, the little girls were all scattered, Xin Fu expected something serious, and immediately asked: "What's the matter?"

"I can't stay in Suzhou anymore, the master ordered me to go back to the capital quietly." Xing Ji picked up the tea on the table, regardless of the burning of his mouth, he drank it abruptly.Hastily wiped his sleeves, put down the teacup, and said, "I'll be going in a while. I should be sick after dinner. If anyone asks, just say that I accidentally smashed a piece of master's jade, call master I was fined. Because the weather was hot and I didn’t take any medicine, the fever came up and I was so sick that I couldn’t go out.”

Xin Fu nodded and said: "Eunuch, don't worry, I understand." Then, he turned and opened a small drawer under the carved cabinet, and took out two purses from it.After opening it for a look, it was handed over to Xing Ji. "Here are some silver bills. When you go out, silver bills are always lighter than silver." As he said, he pointed to another: "Here are some scattered silver, I don't remember how many taels are in it. It’s good to have some scattered use.” Then asked: “Have you prepared a carriage in the house?”

Xing Ji took the purse and said: "The ones in the house can't be used, they're not my own. I'll go out and just hire one."

"Who is willing to take this trip for a long journey?"

Xing Ji laughed when he heard this sentence: "You have never seen these before, so you don't know. Hiring a car is just to go out of the city. When you get out of the city, you will naturally have to change the waterway. It's just going out of the city, who would not go What?" Then he said, "I'll go back to the house, roll up two clothes and go. You take care of the master, I can't take care of things here, you have to figure it out yourself."

Xin Fu bowed his knees and sent him off, saying very solemnly: "Eunuch, don't worry, I'm here."

Xing Ji just left.

That night, the maids and servants in the Canglang Pavilion heard that Steward Xin, who was most trusted by the master, was beaten because he broke a rare thing from the master.Unable to get out of bed, Miss Xin Fu kindly went to see, but she couldn't even force herself to get up.Fortunately, the master still wanted to use him, so he asked him to keep him, and never sent him out.For a while, everyone was in danger, even those who were lazy before became diligent and thrifty in their work.

A servant is no better than a master, and he doesn't need a respectable servant like Xin Guanjia.They suffer from crimes and beatings, not to mention seeing a doctor and taking medicine, even a moment of rest.The master couldn't remember them, he was afraid that he would be thrown out by the big and small stewards.They were all sold out by their parents, signed a death contract, how can they live if they are thrown out?

Lin Jue came over after a while, and felt suspicious because he didn't see Xing Ji waiting by his side.After dinner, the two of them went to the Qingxiang Pavilion. Lin Jue was lazy because of the meal, so he lay down on a red sandalwood imperial concubine couch, covered his face with a folding fan, and closed his eyes to rest.

Murong Zhizhi sat at the desk for half a day, seeing that he couldn't get up, he had to come over and sit on the side of the imperial concubine's couch.Seeing that Lin Jue was holding the folding fan in his hand, four fingers clasped lightly on the outside, fair and slender, with fine powder on the fingertips, his heart moved.His eyes were heavy, he couldn't help but leaned over, and put his hot lips on his fingertips.

Lin Jue's fingers were itchy from his kiss, and she turned over to avoid him, her voice soft: "What are you doing?"

When he turned over, his white and tender neck was exposed.Murong Zhizhi couldn't hold back anymore, he stroked that spot with his fingertips, and said: "I am so happy to see you, I want to hold you in my arms all the time."

"Nonsense again." Lin Jue muffled, unable to tell whether he was happy or not. "Don't think about this again, at least you should think about the business."

Murong Zhizhi laughed: "You are already in front of me, how can I think about anything else. You are my business."

"Murong old dog!" Lin Jue's cheeks were burning hot, fortunately he could not see it because he was hiding his head under the folding fan.Lin Jue feigned anger and said, "If you talk nonsense again, I'll go back! I'm so sleepy, I didn't sleep last night, and I can't hold my eyelids."

"Don't be annoyed, I won't talk about it anymore." He paused, and then said: "The left and right are thinking the same thing in their hearts. Why did you stay up all night last night?"

"I read a little late yesterday, and when the time passed, I tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. It rained again at night, and there was a lake outside the house where I slept. The sound of the water on the lake, and the sound of the rain dripping from the porch, I listened to it all night."

Murong even fiddled with one of his ears, not hiding his worry: "You've been getting thinner lately, so there's no benefit in staying up all the time. Only when you're healthy can you pass the exam. I'll see you when you come in today, The head under the eyes is black and blue, it can be seen that I have stayed up for more than one night."

"Study is always difficult. There are many people who don't sleep all day long, so it's nothing to me. Where can I suffer a little bit?" Lin Jue didn't want to get involved in this, and turned back again , put away the folding fan, lay on the imperial couch and looked at Murong Zhizhi. "You sent Xing Ji out to do something? I haven't seen him today."

Murong Zhizhi took the folding fan in his hand, opened it to cool him, said casually: "He broke one of my things, and received thirty boards. Maybe it's because I didn't do heavy work on weekdays, and the thirty boards went down, I can't even go on the road. Xin Fu went to see it, and said that the fever is severe, and she keeps talking nonsense, and I'm afraid I won't be able to survive it."

He spoke harshly, but Lin Jue didn't believe it. "What was broken, tell me so I can hear."

Murong Zhizhi leaned down, leaned close to speak in his ear, parted his lips up and down, and inadvertently touched his earlobe, causing his face to burn hotly. "The chess pieces you gave me..."

"Bah! So you are waiting for me here, but I don't believe your words, not a word of yours!"
