Chapter 36 Remembering Acacia, When Huan Pei Returns to the Moon

Chapter 36 Remembering Acacia, when Huan Pei returned to the moon (Part 1)

The spring of 49 came. A few days after the snow melted, the Empress Dowager asked me to help her go to the Rock Mountain Temple and explain the scriptures for her. I also listened to it. I only felt that my heart was as calm as a lake in the deep mountains, and the sandalwood in front of the Buddha was angry and green smoke.

Every day in the future, the Empress Dowager will go up the mountain to get an incense. I'm afraid that she will be too tired. After talking for a long time, she promised me to help her with incense, and she will come once every seven days. In this way, I go up the mountain after breakfast every day, sweating all over and seeing the clouds under the mountain, and I feel that my whole body is as clear as the mist.

Sometimes Wujing will go up the mountain to hunt with me. He always doesn't say anything, but accompanies me to climb a bunch of incense in the Yanshan Temple and then goes down to the forest halfway up the mountain.

On this day, after I finished the incense, Xiu silk ran to me and said, "Sister, there is a letter from the palace. Next month, the long live master will bring several brothers and the Empress to incense."

"Would you like to come?" I thought I would never see them again this year, but I didn't expect Long Live to come to Wutai Mountain, but he ran around all year round, and it was not surprising to come to Wutai Mountain.

Next month? It's 15th today, so long live, they should have set out.

"Ye, sister, come into the house quickly. The Empress Dowager just said she wanted you to come back and go to find her." Xiu silk road.

I entered the house, and the Empress Dowager was checking the things in the box on the table. I invited Ann and went to see that it was full of medicinal herbs, supplements and fabrics.

"It's hard for the emperor to think about it. He asked someone to send such things here. Take it down and put it away." The Empress Dowager turned around and went to the couch and sat down and said, "Your Majesty, they have already set out. I think they will arrive at the beginning of next month. Although it's good here, no one has lived here for a long time. You and Aunt Wu will take two people out to buy something missing here in two days. You know what to buy. I won't worry until you do it carefully.

I nodded and said, "I don't know how many people will come with Long Live. How many rooms will be arranged in the back room?"

"The concubine brought Concubine De, Concubine Yi and the secret concubine. The brothers came with the prince, the third, the eighth, the tenth and the thirteenth and fourteenth. I'm afraid that the rear room is fully prepared and can't be used. Some people can live in the temple on the mountain. I'll go to discuss with the host tomorrow. Just get this place."

A Xing will come. After such a long time, how is he? Forget me or still hate me?

I looked at the villa and wrote down everything I wanted to buy, and I still lacked a lot of food and clothing. The Empress Dowager asked me to go to Taiyuan Market with Aunt Wu to purchase, and Wu Jing drove to Taiyuan with me and Aunt Wu.

It was already evening when we arrived in Taiyuan, and it was almost dark. I said, "Madam, it's getting dark. Let's find a place to eat first, stay, and buy something before going back tomorrow."

"What the girl said is, Jinger, drive to your eldest brother." The aunt shouted to Wu Jing outside the carriage.

We arrived at Wu Zheng's house. Wu Zheng, like Wu Jing, was an honest person at first glance. His wife was very enthusiastic and asked me to give the purchase order to Wu Zheng, and she could prepare it for us tomorrow morning. At first, I was still a little afraid. I didn't dare to be careless about what the Empress Dowager gave me. After sitting for a while, I felt that the couple were rare good people. The cloth shop was also neat, so I left it to them.

Wu Zheng's family is small, leaving only one house, and there is a five- or six-year-old child to live in. I don't think it's easy to disturb them, so I discussed with my aunt to stay inn.

Wu Jing found a good Fulai Inn. As soon as we walked in, I was confused when we saw the person coming down from upstairs. How could he be here?

"Why, some days we don't know each other." Brother Jiu came over, and several middle-aged men around him nodded and bowed in front of him. Looking at the satin on their bodies, he knew that they should be officials and businessmen.

I just wanted to salute, but I thought that since he didn't bring an escort, he should not want to reveal his identity when he came to such a small shop. He just shouted, "Master Jiu."

He looked at us and said, "Do you live in the hotel?"

I nodded, and he turned around and told those people to do something, and then told them to go back. Those people complimented again and left one by one.

"Let's go. I have a yard here. Let's live there. How to live in this store? He said and walked forward.

"Master Jiu, I'm afraid this is too troublesome. Let's go out to buy something and go back tomorrow."

"What are you doing with so many words? Let's go."

I want to say something more. He has left the inn. I think he wants to tell me not to talk about him here with the Empress Dowager. It's okay to stay with him for one night. I said to the confused Aunt Wu, "Madam, let's stay with Master Jiu tonight."

The aunt nodded and said yes, but Wu Jing didn't seem to agree: "Girl?"

I said, "Master Jiu is from the capital, it doesn't matter."

Out of the inn, Brother Jiu was waiting for us by the carriage. I was ready to get into the carriage. He looked at our carriage and said, "You take my carriage."

I can hear the sound of Wu Jing's clenching fists. This ninth brother looks down on people too much. Isn't he begging for a beating? I think I can ask him why he came here in the carriage and said to Wu Jing, "You just drive along."

As soon as the carriage left, I asked, "How did Master Jiu come here? It should not open the way for Master Long Live. There is no Master Jiu on the list of princes."

He didn't say anything and forced his eyes to refresh. He seemed to be very tired. In fact, I have guessed some of those who followed him just now: "Does the ninth master have business here? Come and ask your men to restrain yourself.

He squinted at me for a while and said, "I told you that women should not be too smart."

He was reflecting about me and A Xing. I said, "Master Jiu, don't worry, I won't talk to the Empress Dowager." Then he stopped talking and learned to close his eyes and refresh his mind.

"Although the eighth brother doubted you, I think you should be dedicated to the fourteenth brother."

You also know that you have said something wrong. Now you want to regret to please me. Who will listen to you?

"Fourteenth brother also said to you..." He didn't say half of what he said. What's wrong with A Xing?

After a long time, he said, "The fourteenth brother ran here by himself. The Empress De was so angry that she sent someone to find him, and at the same time, she could only help him suppress it. You are really capable."

"A Xing is here?" I asked, and remembered what happened at the 15th Lantern Festival, "Did he not see him during the Spring Festival?"

"Didn't you meet?" Master Jiu asked, "After returning from the good concubine that day, he seemed like nothing happened. We all felt strange, but after you left with the empress dowager, we felt that something was wrong with him. Just after the first morning of the New Year, Defei sent someone to find him. After that, he didn't say anything. I thought you met."

If he is quick and whip, he will probably be able to get here on 15th. It seems that Wu Jing was right that day. Someone followed us. A Xing, do you have anything to say to me all the time? Then why doesn't it appear? Is it because there is someone next to me?

The carriage stopped. When I got out of the car, I saw a plaque on Zhu Hong's gate saying Tangfu. I think this is the mansion of the ninth master here.

"The master is back, dinner is ready, and the room is tidy." A servant came forward.

"Became them to the backyard." The ninth master looked at Aunt Wu and Wu Jing and said to me, "You go to the east wing with me."

This man really wants to show his ability to treat people differently. Wu Jing came to me and said, "Girl, the Empress Dowager wants me to be thorough."

Master Jiu turned around and looked at me up and down and said, "She just striped everything and threw it on my bed. I'm not interested in taking care of her."

I'm so angry. Is there such a demeaning thing? Unexpectedly, before I reacted, Wu Jing took action very quickly and punched Master Jiu.

For good, Master Jiu diddge, otherwise Wu Jing would be very guilty. Master Jiu wanted to turn back. I only said, "Brother Wu, take the aunt with you. I'll be fine."

Wu Jing was still worried about standing still. I took a look at Aunt Wu, and the aunt came up and pulled Wu Jing and said, "Jing'er, let's go. It seems that this ninth master has a head and a friend of the girl. The girl has her own moderation."

When they left, the ninth master snorted, "Brother Wu, it's really intimate."

I ignored him and went straight to the house.

After a day's journey, I was so hungry that I put my chest on my back. When I saw the meal, I didn't care about my image. Anyway, only Master Jiu and I were not afraid that he would slander me in front of A Xing.

"You said that the fourteenth brother fell in love with you, so he didn't even want the prince's identity." The ninth master leisurely drank the wine, and the large table of dishes, he did not move.

"Does the ninth master ever like people?" I asked him, but he didn't answer me, so I had to say, "You don't really like a woman, so you don't know A Xing's mood at all. If you really like her, you will care about anything else."

He gave me a white look, drank all the wine in his hand, threw away the glass and got up.

It's night. I'm tossing and turning, thinking about why A Xing didn't appear and leave since he came? Is he still complaining about me, but if he complains about me, why would he take the risk? Something must have happened.

I couldn't sleep after thinking about it, so I had to get up and put on my clothes and go for a walk in the yard. Tonight is another full moon night. As soon as I opened the door, I saw a bright moon hanging in the night sky. Its outline seemed to be stained with a layer of water mist.

The room of the ninth master opposite is still bright. I walked in the yard for a long time, but I saw that his door was half closed and no one went in and out. I walked over and opened the door. There seemed to be no one in the room, only a strong smell of wine. I shouted a few times but no one answered.

In the dim candlelight, I saw a portrait of a woman hanging beside the desk. The woman's smile seemed to have been seen somewhere. I approached and remembered that it. That year, I helped the fourth master block a knife. Isn't the portrait of the woman I saw in the fourth master's yard exactly her? Aunt Wu said her name was Lian Yue.

Why did the portrait of the fourth master's room come to the ninth master's room? No, this is not a portrait of the fourth master's room. This is another picture, but the woman must be the same person, because her eyes are bent like a crescent when she smiles.

"Yueer..." Someone shouted behind him.
