[Qing Chuan] Qing Chuan Wu Shi

The fourth elder brother was silent for a while, looked up at Wu Ning and said, "Ama Huang scolded the eighth brother in front of everyone today..." He paused for a while, put his hands on his knees, and thought about his words , In the end, I decided to use Kangxi's original words: "The eighth elder brother is a rogue by nature, has great ambitions, and gangsters are united!".

The fourth elder brother stared at Wu Ning for a long while, and then he continued to say: "Huang Ama cut the title of the eighth younger brother and handed it over to the political affairs office.".

Wu Ning was speechless.

Although I knew that the eighth elder brother in history had such an ending, it is another feeling to hear the fourth elder brother say it with difficulty.

She looked up at the fourth elder brother, and saw that the fourth elder brother's eyes were like the entrance of a very deep black pool, watching her quietly, and she felt a little inexplicably guilty for a while.She swallowed, stuck out the tip of her tongue, licked her dry lips, and said in a hollow voice, "How could this be?".

The fourth elder brother's eyes showed a kind of cold sharpness.

He withdrew his gaze from Wu Ning's face, and continued to speak in a calm tone: "Huang Ama was angry at the time, but the fourteenth brother ran out again, stuck his neck, pulled his throat and shouted, 'Mynah has no such thing. Heart! My son is willing to guarantee it with death!', Huang Ama was so angry that he snatched the saber from the guard around him, and was about to chop it off at the fourteenth brother!".

Wu Ning listened to his calm voice, but she didn't know how many thrills were hidden in it. She was relying on the fourth elder brother, but now she subconsciously moved to the side, leaving a little distance, and accidentally knocked off the embroidery on the side. embroidery frame.

The bamboo embroidery stretcher was very elastic, twisted and turned a few times on the ground, half-jumped and fell down motionless, with thin silver needles still being pulled on the embroidery cloth, half of the pattern of Qingfeng Nongzhu was embroidered.

The fourth elder brother turned his head to look at her, and suddenly smiled helplessly.

There is a kind of clarity in his smile, and there is also a kind of inexplicable ambiguity.He leaned closer to Wu Ning, put his hand on Wu Ning's shoulder intentionally or unintentionally, feeling the thin skeleton under the palm of his hand—as if it was fragile when he was pinched.

He subconsciously tightened his palms, then released them again.

Under the light, he looked at her carefully, as if he was looking at his beloved calligraphy, painting and Guqin. In the next moment, he found an imperceptible wrinkle in the corner of her eyes.

The wrinkles are shallow, but they are.Thinly spread radially from the corner of the eye, not a short one.

Suddenly, it has been ten years of traces and ten years of heart.

Yinzhen's hand was slowly raised to Wu Ning's face, and he stroked it slightly for a while, then he retracted his hand and sniffed, there was a faint smell of facial balm, Wu Ning stared at him closely.

The fourth elder brother's complexion looked a little illusory under the beating lights, but his eyes were extremely black, as if he was determined to see people's hearts.

He slowly moved his hand to Wu Ning's neck, feeling the beating of the blood vessels under the pale skin, and the long hair like a crow's feather slid through his fingers like flowing water.

"Go to sleep," he said.

At the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, there was a cool breeze, and Wu Ning was still sweating a little when the two of them shared the same bed.The fourth elder brother was afraid of touching her belly, so he always hugged her, and only deliberately left a certain distance after she fell asleep.Today, he fell asleep on his side as soon as he got into bed, leaving only Wu Ning's back.

Wu Ning stared at the back of the fourth elder brother for a long time, stretched out his hand to gently outline the line on his back, rising and falling, and when he reached the shoulder, he saw that the light plain singlet was slightly loosened at the back of the neck, revealing a scar , the tender red meat is still outside, obviously a new injury.

Wu Ning was startled, stood up, and immediately turned down the single clothes, she saw a wound about an inch long, she didn't know how to use weapons, so she could only tell that the wound was caused by a blunt weapon.The fourth elder brother turned around very quickly, touched the wound, and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's just a moment of carelessness."

The prince was injured, it was not a trivial matter, Wu Ning heard his slurred voice, obviously he was not willing to reveal the truth to himself, and he did not force himself, so he lay down quietly, facing the sky.

Soon it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and several young princes and daughters in the palace accompanied Kangxi, which relieved the pain of bereavement.The fourth elder brother and Fujin entered the palace repeatedly a few days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and after the banquet in the palace was over, they returned to Baylor's mansion, and it was inevitable to be lively again, and it was not until the middle of the month that they calmed down a little.

The fourth elder brother wore the court clothes for entering the palace, and only Su Peisheng followed behind him. Seeing that the family banquet was over, Fujin kept the fourth elder brother.Seeing that she has been very busy these days, the fourth elder brother looked more and more haggard, and thinking about the neglect for so many years, his heart softened slightly, and said: "Fu Jin is very tired these days, let's take a good rest.", Just as Fujin was about to speak, a itch came up in her throat, she quickly turned her face away, coughed lightly, while Mother An came up to pat Fujin's back.

The fourth elder brother saw that she was coughing badly, but still looked at him earnestly, and seemed to have something to say, so he sat down beside him, took the hot tea from Shuo Xue, and said: "The man in the house If you are too busy with things, you can ask Mrs. Li and Mrs. Wu to help, knowing that you are a considerate person, but you can't take everything into your own hands, you have to manage it appropriately."

Hearing this, Fujin immediately recovered from his coughing and panting, pushed away Nanny An, and said eagerly: "Master Belle, there is something that I wanted to talk about after the Mid-Autumn Festival, but...".

The fourth elder brother lowered his head and took a sip of tea, thinking that Fujin finally spoke, and only said leisurely: "Fujin, what's the matter?".

Fujin straightened his back, glanced at Nanny An, Nanny An understood, sent out a room of people, and sent someone to guard them, not allowing them to come near, then went to the door and whispered to Chen Denuo say something.

Chen Denuo turned away in a hurry, and after a while, several nuns rushed over, pushing a little maid. Chen Denuo stopped at the door, pinched the little maid's jaw, and let her spit out the rags from her mouth. Just then she pushed on her shoulder, the little maid couldn't help herself, stumbled and rushed into the room, knelt down on the ground with a plop, her face was already covered with tears.

Fujin stood up in person, walked up to the fourth elder brother and squatted down, with a serious expression on his face: "It's a concubine who is not strict with the servants in the discipline house, and this slave is actually passing on privately with the haha ​​beads next to the second elder brother Hongyun! If it wasn't for Chen Denuo's stern eyes, the concierge in the front yard noticed it, I'm afraid I would still be kept in the dark!".

There was silence in the room for a while, only the crackling of candles could be heard.

The little maid was thirteen or fourteen years old, just in the age of cardamom, and her appearance was not particularly outstanding, but her eyes were as clear as autumn waters, black and white, and the pear blossoms were seven or eight points charming even when it was raining, but she was wearing the dark clothes of a crude girl , the flesh on the back of the hand is rough, with a few scars from fireworks.

She walked forward on her knees, fell at the feet of the fourth elder brother, kowtowed her head, and only cried in mourning: "Master Belle, the slave's father is ill, and he just begged someone to send back the monthly money! There is no affair between men and women! Dear Mr. Fujin!" You can find out after careful investigation! I beg Lord Belle to investigate clearly!".

Nanny An said angrily: "Shut up! You still want to cover up? Fujin is dedicated to Buddha, has a soft heart, and is used to being generous to his subordinates. This is your great blessing! You are so lucky that you dare to do such ugly things under her nose ?”.

The fourth elder brother saw that Fujin hadn't said anything, but Nanny An just jumped ahead, feeling displeased, raised her eyes and glanced at Nanny An coldly, Nanny An immediately noticed it, she was startled in her heart that she was forgetting herself, and immediately flirted with her hands He shrank back to Fujin's side.

The fourth elder brother was silent for a while, and suddenly asked: "Which Haha bead beside Hongyun is it?", thinking that the haha ​​beads beside the second elder brother were all the same age as him, and they were only fourteen or fifteen years old. It is the time when the blood is young and the young is romantic.

Fujin stepped forward and said in detail, with a face full of embarrassment, he said: "I originally thought that I should discuss the second elder brother's matter with Li Fangfujin first, and besides, how can a rough envoy get close to Tangtang?" The people around Brother? Thinking about it carefully, I don’t know how much inside information there is, and the more I think about it, the more I feel that I dare not make decisions without authorization.”.

She turned her eyes for a moment, and then said: "This matter involves the ethos of the mansion, and...this slave is from Sister Wu's yard, so I have no choice but to report to Lord Belle first." His body trembled, he raised his eyes to look at Fujin, and said: "Wu Ning?" Then he turned his eyes to look at the little maid again, she was indeed somewhat familiar, she had indeed seen her in Wu Ning's courtyard.

"Master!", Zhuqi rushed into Wu Ning's room in a panic. Wu Ning was raising his hand to remove the hairpin from his head. He caught a glimpse of her rushing in in the bronze mirror, and was shocked to the core. Surprised, he said, "What's the matter? Are you in a hurry? Say it slowly."

Zhuqi stood still, gasped for a few breaths with his hands on the table, and said, "Master! The servant sent Qing'er to the dining room just now, thinking about today's family banquet, the master didn't eat anything, so prepare something for the master as soon as possible." Snacks were on the way, but Qing Er was intercepted by Eunuch Chen on the way!".

Wu Ning was confused and said: "Eunuch Chen? Which Eunuch Chen?" Zhuqi said anxiously: "Chen Denuo! Chen Denuo from Fujin Main Court!".

Wu Ning frowned, put a hairpin back on his head again, thought quickly and asked: "Qing'er is just a little girl, what is Chen Denuo taking Qing'er to do?".

Zhuqi was about to speak, but he heard the noise of people outside, Wu Ning lifted the curtain to go out, and saw Chen Denuo standing in the courtyard with his hands clasped, behind him were a few eunuchs holding red lanterns.

When Chen Denuo saw Wu Ning, he bent his waist neither humble nor overbearing, and said in a full-fledged manner: "Greetings to Ge Ge, Ge Ge is auspicious! Excuse me for disturbing you, if you have important matters in Fujin, please discuss with Ge Ge! Please also ask Ge Ge to go with the slave." , his tone was extremely polite, but the content of his words was irresistible, and his eyes slanted slightly when he spoke.

Zhuqi raised his chin, took a step forward, and was about to stand in front of Wu Ning, Wu Ning held her down, and said calmly: "Just now I heard that Qing'er in my courtyard was taken by Eunuch Chen on the way to pick up the meals. The person intercepted it without any explanation, is there such a thing?".

Chen Denuo didn't expect her to be so straight-forward, so he asked directly when he came up, and was at a loss for words for a while.

Wu Ning smiled and said: "Eunuch Chen is a big celebrity in front of Fujin, so there must be other meanings in doing so. Wu Ning can't speculate, but since Qing'er is a member of my yard, if he made any mistakes, I, the master, have to Know a thing or two first. There is no reason for a slave to be taken away by the other court before the master has spoken!",.

After she finished speaking, she saw that Chen Denuo's face had turned into a pig's liver, thinking that he was the person in front of Fujin, so it would not be too embarrassing, so she said: "The moon is round in the Mid-Autumn Festival, and people are also round. If you want to come to Fujin, you will be disgusted." The family dinner is too short, and the sisters haven't had a good chat yet! Since Fujin invites me, I will go with my father-in-law." As he spoke, he stepped forward, and before he even looked at Chen Denuo, he had already strode out.Zhuqi rushed forward to support her.
