Episode 30: I hope people will live for a long time and live together for a thousand years 3
"What's going on?" The palace owner rarely got angry, but this time he unexpectedly looked very angry. "Who broke the ivory of the sandalwood coat?"
Pei Gu and the two bowed their heads and said no. The uncle nestled in the circle chair and stared at the pillar in front of him with an indifferent expression.
I turned my eyes to Aunt Rong, who was standing directly opposite the master. She put her hand and index finger behind her back, as if she was very uneasy.
The palace owner nodded to me for exemption, and then said, "The disciple in charge of cleaning will never dare to do such a thing, but he has gone to the ring hall to sit and think about it. In addition, all the people who can enter and exit the inner palace are here. Does anyone take the initiative to admit their fault?"
However, no one responded, and none of the five people, including me, spoke.
"Okay, since no one will admit it, that is, all six of us have had it. As the owner of the Fuqin Palace, I failed to lead by example, so I was locked up for a month as a punishment..."
Aunt Rong suddenly looked up and shouted Master, but the palace lord did not allow her to continue to say, "The five of you have gone to the Ring Hall to think about it for three days." After saying that, he went out of the room without looking back.
"Master! I broke my brother's baby. Please punish me. Don't lock yourself up!" Aunt Rong chased out and shouted.
The owner of the palace ignored her. Maybe he was disappointed that he did something wrong for her and did not dare to admit it. He was also ashamed of his lack of discipline. He really closed for a month. Except for Pei Shaoyin, who took care of his daily diet, he did not see anyone.
The broken ivory has never appeared since then. The uncle is as silent as in the past, but he can be amazing every time he opens his mouth. No one knows where he learned such a vicious way of speaking, so he has to stay away from him.
However, Aunt Rong fled the Fuqin Palace soon after that. When the palace owner went out of the customs, she looked very calm. She did not punish the disciples who guarded the mountain gate, nor did she send people down the mountain to chase her as she did at the beginning. Aunt Rong became the only one who went out alive from Fuqin Palace.

Tan Yi, come to Tan Yi, come to your mother.
This is a gift from your grandfather. Do you like it? It's a little heavier, and you can hold it when you grow up.
You see, there are small houses and small people on it. What is this little man doing? By the way, he is selling groceries. There are a lot of beautiful things in his cargo.
There are also rivers and small bridges here. Someone on the bridge is carrying a sedan chair and reaching out to touch it. The sedan chair is full of rich people. It may be the county magistrate, the rich man, or the daughter. Who does Tan Yi want to sit in the sedan chair?
Oh, this is a horse. It's a little different. It may also be a mule. The person next to him must have just arrived here. He got off the horse and was ready to stay in the store. Look at the plaque on the house. What did it say? Well, it's an inn, Huifeng Inn.
Do you like it? Mother put it at the head of the bed, so that Tan Yi can play alone when she is away, right? Good boy, my mother is going to do something. It's cold outside. Tan Yi is staying in the quilt. Don't run around, okay?

Jirong's aunt left Fuqin Palace seven years ago. In a blink of an eye, the 20-year-old uncle also went down the mountain because he had a big quarrel with his master. For a while, the people in the palace was impetuous, and the palace owner had to explain in person that the two of them just went out to practice, and would still come back after the task was completed.
In fact, all three of us know that the two children can't come back. Aunt Rong seems to have left because she was angry with her uncle. In fact, she blamed the palace owner for not spoiling her and accompanying her from time to time. I couldn't see through her thoughts at first, so that she always became her victim inexplicably. Fortunately, Gu Pingluan couldn't stand it later, which reminded me not to provoke this extremely fierce aunt. Be careful that she really ruined her.
"It's not a child who is acting coquettish to his elders," Gu Pingluan carefully wiped the sword in her hand with silk. Every once in a while, she would wipe all the swords in the Zhengfeng Pavilion. "You stinky men won't understand. Anyway, stay away from her. If you can't restrain her like Tan Yi, you can make her angry. You can say something."
Although I knew that she was just used to talking like that, I couldn't help raising my arm and smelling my body.
Uncle and aunt left one after another, and the palace owner seemed extremely depressed. Although Pei Shaoyin explained that there was nothing to worry about leaving his parents after all when the child grew up, the palace owner was more than an ordinary person. He had a vast sea of time to let him swim freely. If he was alone, he would drown sooner or later. However, Aunt Qian, Aunt Rong, and the little uncle failed to understand the heart of the palace owner. They were wayward and selfish and regardless of the consequences. Especially after the master's death, the palace owner drank all day long, and the two children did not want to accompany him.
I once thought about accompanying him on behalf of my master, but I obviously felt that the palace master did not treat me as attentively as my uncle and aunt. In addition, he himself was not very good at these. He seemed to have an attitude that did not want to implicate me. Although he often asked me to steal some strange things, he never told me.
The two of them will not come back, and the rule of Fuqin Palace is that you can't take two disciples at a time. If the palace owner doesn't send someone to kill them, he is doomed to spend decades alone.
I still decided to find my uncle. On the one's, it's convenient for him to settle in the capital, and on the other, Aunt Rong voted for Yongjiang, and I don't know if he is still alive.
"Forgive me, you forgot something."
It was supposed to be the second half of the night. I planned to go down the mountain overnight and come back in half a month at the earliest, but I didn't want to be caught by the palace owner.
The palace owner didn't seem to mistakenly think that I was going to escape. He came forward and patted me on the shoulder: "When you see Tan Yi, tell him for me. If you encounter trouble, keep her for the teacher."
This is the first time that the palace owner has said such a thing in front of me. In the middle of the night, he seemed to put down the disguise of the day and implicitly expressed his miss for them. Didn't the palace owner believe that his aunt was dead? I asked.
"Are you dead? I really hope so, but I still don't believe it," he said with a wry smile. "If the child doesn't listen, let him think about why he left at the beginning."
The chirping of the pheasant came from the distance. Maybe he was afraid of alarming others. The palace owner gently took my shoulder and urged, "Go early and come back early."

I want to celebrate the Qingming Festival, looking forward to Zhongyuan, and have a good reunion in my dream.
It was supposed to be a desolate festival, but it became warm because of something in my heart.
After thinking about returning to the painting to rest, Wei Tanyi couldn't sleep, so he got up and came to the store and ordered a cup of reunion for himself.
I still remember that I saw my dead mother's pale and transparent face when I opened my eyes, and the shock of that moment made him scream desperately. Before the master came, no matter how much his mother comforted and persuaded him, he still refused to let go of his ear-covering hand.
Ji Yufu found the ivory sculpture from the Wei family's house, which burned only the ruins and put it in his arms.
The mother knelt down to Ji Yufu with gratitude, explained something and then disappeared.
In retrospect, because of my timidity, I couldn't say goodbye to my mother. Wei Tanyi was full of regret. Born in such a family, he was not the eldest grandson, but he was not valued at all. He was only his mother who loved him. After returning to his hometown after many years, his grandfather and father, together with his uncle and brothers, all appeared. He confessed that he did not meet in order not to scare him at the beginning. At the same time, he was also gratified that he escaped from death and asked him to revive his family tradition and take revenge.
For the rest of his life after the disaster, he finally stood at the peak of the whole family, but he lost his beloved mother forever.
"I still blame you for mistake..."
Thinking of another girl, he couldn't help smiling bitterly.
At the beginning, I mistakenly thought that my mother's relics were broken by her, which made the whole Fuqin Palace unhappy. After many years, I knew that I couldn't blame her at all. I couldn't guarantee that I would never miss her, let alone surrounded by countless ghosts all year round. Maybe it was just a turn around, and the ivory was pushed by someone. On the ground.
Born to be like each other, we should help each other, not hurt each other.
Find her and compensate her.
