Daomu Biji: A Thousand Faces

I never set foot in the Imperial Capital again.

All the tea delivery was handed over to Jing'er, and I would herd cattle and grow fields at home.

Jinger once came back and mentioned to me the young man in the teahouse.

"Who is he?"

"I don't know, but he likes to tell me stories, which are very interesting."

"Oh, what are these stories?"

"It's an old-fashioned story in the storybook, but for some reason, it's not boring when it comes out of this mouth."

I said lightly, "Don't get too close to him."

Jing'er didn't take it to heart, and made a face, "Don't worry about me."

----------------

That day, it rained heavily again.

As the night darkened, Jing'er never came back.

She is a girl walking the mountain road in the rainy night, which is unavoidably worrying. Thinking of that person in the teahouse makes me even more restless.

I put on my coir raincoat, took an oil-paper umbrella, and finally headed towards the imperial capital.

I rushed to the teahouse to see that Jing'er was not there, but the young man was still sitting by the window as usual.

I walked up to him and asked coldly, "Where is Jing'er?"

He just looked at the rain outside the window, his eyes were in a trance, "It's finally raining, I thought you would sit beside me only when it rains."

"No, I brought an umbrella this time."

Seeing my tense look, the boss hurried over, "Ah Yu, are you here to find your sister? Don't worry, she just waited here for Aunt Zhang and the others, and just went back in a bullock cart with them. "

"Really..." I breathed a sigh of relief.

The person opposite looked up at me, "Ayu, don't worry, I won't hurt you again."

"You just wait until I finish this story, okay?"

I was impatient for a while, "Will you leave after the lecture?"

He just looked at me silently.

I also looked at him for a while, and finally sat down in front of him.

----------------

"In my life, I have controlled the hearts of two people."

"No matter how Si Hua changes, he is just a child in my eyes, not to mention he still has a little bit of admiration for me."

"But another person, looking at his eyes, I want to control his heart."

"Although he recognizes me as the master, he doesn't have the slightest hint of docility and loyalty in his eyes. In other words, all the docility and loyalty are just his illusion..."

"The art of manipulating people like Si Yu is impossible. If you want to tame a man, you have to know what he needs and what he wants..."

"Just give it to him one by one, and then make him unable to leave me, and use it for me all his life."

"Give him a name, give him an identity, give him a chance..."

"This person's heart is also peeling off for me, gradually becoming real."

"He looked at the desert with eyes, as if he was going to turn into an eagle and spread his wings... It's ridiculous, power and beauty can't fascinate his eyes, but he has a heart that yearns to live in a hut, a haze and rain ..."

"The only thing I can't give him is freedom. How could I let such a person go?"

"So, I gave him my own heart to tie him down..."

"This man's true temperament is very interesting.

The way he clung to me in pain when his bones shrank was so pitiful and cute,

He actually asked me, which face do I like?

I looked at that face and was speechless, I never thought that it would be him..."

"He has done many things for me, just like I have done many things for Si Hua, but they are all planned and have to be rewarded.

He is even willing to die for me...

This is fine, everything is within my grasp, as I expected.

When I asked him to be my younger brother, I had already made a plan to have him die for the Fu family in the future.

Fu Jia used my arrow and my younger brother's life in exchange for the trust of the monarch.

What's more, the assassins I sent during the Spring Hunting were all the elite of the mansion, and the leader was Fu Chongshan who was in charge of the Shadow Guard.

He has seen all these people, and he has a photographic memory for people, and he is afraid that he will see the clues.

No matter what, I can't keep him anymore.

Sure enough, later Fu Chongshan came back and told me that he was seriously injured and fell to the ground. He stepped forward to feel his pulse, and suddenly he took off his mask. If you were crazy, you kept backing away while laughing, and fell off the cliff by yourself..."

"I heard Fu Chongshan say this, and suddenly felt a little pain in my heart, like a blunt knife grinding flesh. It's not heavy, but it's lingering and lingering. I don't know when it will be completely broken..."

"When I heard the news of my brother's death, I vomited blood. Before my body recovered, I fell seriously ill again. Seeing this, Si Hua became more and more ashamed and restless. In this life, he will never, cannot doubt The Fu family."

"The first time I saw him, it should have been during the reign of Emperor Xian, in the seventh year of Yunhua. I, an official from the Hanlin Academy, was at the time when King Yu was showing off his sharpness. He had a feast for all the officials and invited everyone to go to the Tianxiang Tower Drinking flower wine, although I don't like the place of fireworks, they all like it..."

"The whole banquet is full of jokes, flattery and beards, shit doesn't make sense. I didn't listen to any of them, but suddenly I heard the sound of the piano from upstairs..."

"I don't know what song he played, it fluctuated from high to low, and when it was low, it was desolate and melodious. The sound of clashing. It's not like the tunes that would or should be in the Qin Lou Chu Pavilion..."

My lips moved slightly, and I said in a low voice, "Liangzhou... the 'Liangzhou' of Jun Moxiao who was drunk on the battlefield."

He continued, "Later, some people said that the piano player was a beauty... so they called him down...

That is indeed a very beautiful person, with sculpted eyebrows and phoenix eyes, with a face like Shunhua, he was born as a young man, because he is a young man, his outline has not yet grown, so his beauty is indisputable.

Not to mention that I was a little dazed, even someone like Si Yu, who is accustomed to love, was taken aback, and sighed, "Two faces are like peaches from the mirror, and one eye is full of spring water." '

When he looked at people, his eyes were really cold, without a hint of obsequiousness, he stood there like a stake, without saying a word, he didn't look like a party member at all.It was the old bustard from Tianxiang Tower who came forward to smooth things over, saying no wonder, it was the first time he came downstairs.

But there are people who like him so much. Hearing what the old bustard said, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.Si Yu followed suit and bought him on the spot for a total of 500 taels of silver, and handed it over to Prime Minister Zuo's nephew...

Zuo Rui is a licentious person, relying on his uncle to run rampant in the imperial capital, bullying men and women, someone was sent to his bed the night before, and thrown out the next day to throw his body into the wilderness.It's a pity for this boy...

Zuo Rui didn't even drink, and entered the room with someone in his arms...

The rest of them laughed tacitly and flirtatiously and obscenely, and I just got bored.

He lowered his eyelashes and followed Zuo Rui obediently. When he passed by me, I caught a glimpse of the expression in his eyes, and my heart trembled...

There was a strong murderous intent in those eyes.

They entered the house, I waited for a while, and after drinking three glasses of wine, I heard Zuo Rui's scream...

Others rushed into his room, I followed slowly, and also moved over...

This matter is a secret in the Imperial Capital. The scene at that time was really horrible. The young man was cruel enough to fail to kill him, but he almost broke the roots of Zuo Rui's descendants...

Si Yu sniggered at the side, seeing that Zuo Rui was screaming hard, he stood up and coughed, asked his subordinates to hold down the young man, and asked someone to invite the doctor, then he moved to Zuo Rui's side, and looked at the young man , Said, "Young Master Zuo, I didn't think carefully about this matter. You see how to deal with this man. I'm all up to you." '

Zuo Rui didn't care about crying anymore, and stared at the young man viciously, his eyes were uncertain, after thinking for a while, deep malice and hatred appeared in his eyes, and said, "This face is so beautiful, I can't move it, It's better to ruin it. '

As soon as Si Yu clapped his hands knowingly, someone stepped forward and strangled the boy's head, raised his knife and slammed it down on that boy's face.

Some people watched with great interest, while others screamed in surprise...

Like Ling Chi, one slash, another slash...

From the beginning to the end, he didn't cry out in pain, or beg for mercy...

In the end, the face was torn apart and scarred, and there was no trace of its original appearance. It was full of rotten flesh and blood. Si Yu asked someone to drag him down to feed the dogs. When I passed by me, I heard him whispering weakly. ,'mother……'"

"Later, I went to Tianxiang Tower again, pretending to mention this incident unintentionally, and heard them say that his name is Ayu, his mother died last month, and was thrown out of Zuo Rui's mansion..."

"Over the years, I have dreamed about him from time to time. I know he has never asked anyone for help, but I want to save him more than anyone else..."

"I didn't know until I saw your face that you are Ayu..."

"So you didn't die, Si Yu accepted you to make thousands of noodles...

Do you still remember that Si Yu had a jade ring finger?Later, I accidentally discovered that there were two words written on the finger... Ayu, he likes you, but he only uses and insults you. This is a member of the royal family, who doesn't know how to cherish a person at all..."

"And I, no different from him, even killed you again."

----------------

The rain didn't stop, but the story was over.

I turned around and left. At this moment, I thought of many things.

Niangqin, Si Yu, Jing'er, and... Fu Qingci.

Because my face is ruined, people like me are the most suitable to learn from disguise...

I made a human/skin mask according to my original face, because I was afraid of completely forgetting myself...

Seeing Fu Chongshan's face and gaining insight into Fu Qingci's plan is a despair and heartbreak that I have never experienced in my life...

I fell off the cliff, hung on a tree, stumbled all the way and passed out in the forest, it was Jing'er who rescued me...

With the name my mother gave me and this new face, I want to start over...

But Fu Qingci, why did you come back, why did you come to me and tell me all this?

"Ayu..." He called me again from behind.

"Fu's courteous, controlling emotion and heart, most avoid losing one's heart. But from the first time I saw you, to Qianmian and Qingya later... I lost a piece of my heart.

I regret it, in the past six years, I have regretted it all the time, hated myself all the time, but if it happens again, if this pawn is still you, I...maybe I will still make the same choice..."

"I promise to give Wu's reliance and power, and only ask for a child, so that the Fu family can have successors. She is a smart woman...

I faked my death, otherwise Si Hua wouldn't let me go back to hermitage...

Now, I can finally let go of the Fu family, let go of everything, and come to you alone without any worries. "

"You can probably tell at a glance that my disguise is no better than yours, it's really clumsy."

"Did I tell you that you have a pair of memorable eyes?"

"This time, I didn't admit you wrong..."

I took another step, the last step, I can open the umbrella and step into the rain.

In this step, the past and future, between Fu Qingci and me, can be settled cleanly and neatly.

It seems to be raining more heavily.

The author has something to say:

Speaking of the ending of this story, for Fu, it must be BE. One is his original intention of being an official, and even said that his dream is actually Ayu. But in the end, for the sake of his family, he once again destroyed his dream with his own hands.

The second is that Qianmian doesn't like him. In the past, he only had a feeling of repayment for him, but later... probably there is nothing left.

In the end, A Yu lived a peaceful life as an ordinary person, which was probably what he wanted most.
