Mr. Identity Series

The sun shines in the courtyard in the winter afternoon, and two old trees stand proudly in the cold wind.Several pots of large potted plants are scattered in every corner of the small courtyard. They are the kind of evergreen plants that are not afraid of the cold.

Although it is the cold winter season, the courtyard is full of vitality.

In the simply furnished hall, a person is drinking tea slowly.The bright yellow robe, the handsome face, and just a slight movement of lifting the tea cover reveal a bit of arrogance that points the country and looks down on the world.

Standing behind this man are two young men with serious faces, and an old man about 50 years old. Comfortable and friendly smile.

It's just that the butler waiting in the lobby didn't feel that the smile was so friendly. In fact, if there was a crack in the floor for him to get in, even if there was a poisonous snake lurking there, he would not be afraid of it. Go in without hesitation and be with the snake.

"Your master, do you go out every day?" Xu Shi saw the nervousness of the butler, and the only handsome middle-aged man sitting in the seat smiled slightly and took a sip of tea.

"Back... if you go back to the emperor, our young master is usually good at wine, so...so we go out to drink every day, and won't come back until evening, but today, slave... slave has already sent someone to look for him, I think it is ...You don't have to wait so late, Your Majesty..."

The butler was still very young, his handsome face was covered with sweat, and his tone was full of fear.

That's right, facing this His Majesty the Emperor of Ran Kingdom, who is known as the first emperor through the ages, as a little housekeeper, he can still maintain a basic standing posture of his body, and his speech has not reached the point of incoherence, which is already worthy of praise.

"I heard that people in your mansion like to call him son, but why?" His Majesty put the teacup on the table, stared at the butler with great interest and asked.

The handsome little butler was about to shed tears, thinking to the emperor, do you want to be so energetic in gossip?Don't you know that when you talk, my calves shake for a while?It's not easy for me to still stand still.

But no one dares to neglect the emperor's words, so the little butler tried his best to sort out his thoughts, and then put a smile on his face that was uglier than crying, and said in a calm tone: "Back to the emperor, our son is in the Jiangnan army. At that time, he was just a military adviser, he had no rank, so everyone from the top to bottom called him Mr., and the person who served me like me, just called him son."

"Oh, that's how it is." The emperor nodded, and picked up the teacup on the table again: "But how did I hear that although Shui Wuyou is very talented, he is not a useless scholar. His martial arts are said to be Very high, if you hadn't been taken advantage of by General Lu and threatened with the lives of the soldiers, he might have escaped alone."

The little housekeeper blushed, and thought, Your Majesty, can you not have such a calm face when you expose the scars, even if our son is free and unrestrained, it would be a shame to be captured and surrender, okay?You came today, no matter what, you should have something to ask of my young master, right?It's impossible for you to get so excited and come here to visit a surrender.

Thinking about it this way, he still said respectfully: "Back to the emperor, my young master heard that because he was weak since he was a child, he practiced inner kung fu with a great monk, mainly for healing and health, but he is talented. He is smart, so in the end his martial arts are good, but he doesn't use them easily, and he doesn't fight on the battlefield on weekdays, because his body is inherently deficient, and this martial arts can only last for a while, not for a long time."

"Oh, that's right." The emperor nodded, took another sip of tea, and frowned slightly.

The little butler was a smart person, he quickly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the tea is cold, and my servant is going to change it for you." As he spoke, he was about to step forward.

But the emperor waved his hand and said: "No need, you speak in an orderly manner. It's rare to be appreciated and reused by your son at such a young age. What's your name?" After he finished speaking, he seemed to show that there was really no need to change Like tea, I took another sip of herbal tea.

"Back to the emperor, the servant follows the son's surname, named Ding Dong."

With a sound of "poof", His Majesty's extraordinary concentration collapsed in an instant, and a mouthful of tea was sprayed on the green brick floor in front of him.

His eyes widened, and he lost his voice and said, "Shui... Shui Dingdang? I have heard that Shui Wuyou is an amazing and talented person. Why... why did you give you such a funny name?"

Ding Dong's face was almost twisted into a bitter melon.Hearing this, he gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "Return to the emperor, son...Your master gave me this name when he was drunk. Later, when he was sober, the servant begged him to choose another name, saying that he should not use such an ugly name like Ding Dong. But he said that since it has been set up, there is no reason to change it, let the servant... let the servant make do with it, so... it is called until now."

The two young men and the old eunuch looked at Ding Dong sympathetically, thinking how pitiful, this little guy is so beautiful, he should have a nice name, why did he end up with such a master, if it wasn't for the emperor In front of his eyes, the little housekeeper was afraid that he would burst into tears.

The emperor obviously didn't expect it to be this answer, he was stunned for a while, and suddenly smiled and said: "In the past, many people talked about Shui Wuyou in front of me, with mixed praise and criticism, but now I haven't seen him, I don't know him Exactly how, but one thing is certain, this person... must be very interesting."

What does Ding Dong want to be interesting?That guy is bad, hum.

As soon as I thought of this, the courtyard door was opened with a bang.

With two sounds of "Shu Shua", the two young men standing behind the emperor immediately drew out their swords at their waists, but Ding Dang waved his hands and said, "Don't be nervous, don't be nervous, it's not a thief who broke in, this must be my young master's return, it's strange, isn't it Didn't the servant meet him? Why are you still acting like this?"

"What does this sound like? The gate of my own house was kicked with my feet." The old eunuch couldn't help but speak, and he didn't like Shui Wuyou at all, so he looked down on him even more at this moment.I wondered if this guy was dissatisfied with the emperor, so he deliberately ruined the house that the emperor gave him, right?

Regarding Shui Wuyou's kicking action, His Majesty the Emperor was also curious. He stood up and walked to the door, only then did he understand.

I saw Shui Wuyou holding a jar of wine in each arm, walking towards the house staggeringly, after walking a few steps, he suddenly opened his mouth and sang loudly: "Drink me with wine from the east gate, lighthearted and everything is futile." , I don’t know the day and night when I’m drunk, sometimes I look at the lone cloud..."

The blue veins on Dingdang's forehead burst out faintly, and he said bitterly in his heart: "My son, ancestor, you are still light-hearted here, and everything is futile. I think you are really drunk and don't know the day and night, but in the future you It’s hard to say whether you can still see Gu Yungao, I’ll let you get drunk every day, so it’s okay now, let the emperor stop you?”

Shui Wuyou's voice is very nice, and the singing of these few lines is not out of tune, overall it is quite pleasant.

He staggered two steps after singing, tried his best to open his slender Danfeng eyes, and then shook his head vigorously, so the black hair that was shining like a waterfall also flew in all directions with his movements, matching his well-proportioned hair. Tall and straight and slender, with spotless white clothes, and unparalleled beauty, she really has the temperament of being an immortal and descending from the sky.

But as soon as the exiled immortal opened his mouth, that non-human temperament immediately disappeared.

"Ding Dong, are there... any guests? Or... I'm already... drunk to the point of seeing your double image? No, I used to see your double image, at most two heads grew out, what's wrong with your body today? How many have you divided?"

"My lord, this is..." Ding Dang was in a hurry, growled, and was about to rush out and hold Shui Wuyou down and kowtow.But before he finished speaking, he was stopped by the emperor with a wave of his hand.a family of scholars

The emperor stepped across the threshold, walked down the steps, and came to Shui Wuyou, looked him up and down, and suddenly smiled: "It's still the same demeanor that I was kneeling outside the court that day, but today's wine She's a little more cute when she's drunk."

"Who...who said I was drunk? I think I'm still in control today, otherwise...otherwise, can I bring these two jars of fine wine back safely? Shopkeeper Wu's stinginess is well-known throughout the capital, and it's rare today Let me pick out two jars of Xinghuabai..."

Shui Wuyou argued loudly, looking at the emperor with slender Danfeng eyes without any shyness, and the emperor listened to him with great interest.

Unexpectedly, before the end of listening, when he heard a "gudong", Shui Wuyou suddenly knelt down in front of him, and said in a panicked tone: "I... I don't know that your majesty is coming, I haven't... I haven't greeted you from afar, I still look... I still look forward to it." Your Majesty forgives me."

The emperor didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he shook his head and said: "You sober up quickly. I only wore plain clothes today, and I thought that I might be able to hide it from you for a while. Why don't you say that you deserve death? You haven't met me far away yet. How dare I expect you to welcome me far away, this didn't make me wait until the sun went down, it was already you, Mr. Shui, who gave me face. You are really guilty and deserve to die, but you, by coincidence, dare to ask me to forgive you."

Shui Wuyou carefully put the two jars of wine on the ground, then got up, and said with a smile: "I... I answered the emperor's questions one by one. First of all, the emperor should not wear bright yellow plain clothes. It's the royal color, who would dare to use it except His Majesty? Besides, His Majesty's demeanor is also here, so even though he was far away from the Emperor that day and didn't see his face clearly, he recognized it at a glance today."

When he said this, he shook his head vigorously, as if he wanted to use this movement to keep himself awake, and then smiled: "Secondly, of course, I can't say that I deserve death. If I say so, your majesty I was getting impatient with the wait, and angrily said "then you go to die", the minister died in such a muddle-headed way, what a shame, isn't it?"

"And... there's a third."

While speaking, Shui Wuyou stretched out two slender and slender fingers and shook them, but the emperor said angrily: "This is two, are you so drunk that you can't even count?"

The drunk-eyed young master Pian Pian looked down, oh, it really is two, so he quickly added another finger, shook it in front of the emperor, and then continued to laugh: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, you are really here today!" , Chen... Chen was in a hurry to send the two jars of wine home, lest they would be stolen by Xiao Xiao, so... so I returned at this time, otherwise... I often do things like hangovers. "

"How dare you say that." The emperor was so angry that he began to grind his teeth.

Shui Wuyou didn't know what to be afraid of.A head was swinging back and forth like a rattle, and then shouted: "Ding Dong, Ding Dong, where are you, you bastard? You dare to hide when the honored guest is here, come out..."

"Stop barking, he's much better than you, he's been serving you for half an afternoon." The emperor felt strange as he spoke, thinking why the little butler didn't respond?Looking back, he saw that Ding Dong had already fainted from fright. At this time, a young man was supporting him, otherwise he might fall down on the stone steps.

"This... this cowardly fellow, son, I... I haven't been scared yet, he... he fainted from fright." Shui Wuyou staggered forward and patted Ding Dong's face: "Quick... ...Wake up quickly, arrange...for the emperor...arrange dinner, if there is no... if there is no meat, then kill the big yellow chicken in the backyard, oh, you can go out and buy some, although the price of meat is expensive now, but this is imperial food , you can go to the imperial dining room to get the money later..."

If it weren't for the fact that there was something important to come to Shui Wuyou this time, His Majesty the Emperor would have kicked the out-of-shape fellow in front of him into the moat.Even the old eunuch couldn't stand it anymore, shook his head and sighed, "Oh, poor Ding Dong, with a master like you, how did he survive till now?"

Shui Wuyou raised his head, squinted his eyes hard to look at the old eunuch, and suddenly grinned and said, "It's... the popular man in front of His Majesty, Eunuch Chen, right? Hehe, don't worry about this little bastard, he...he's alive It's more nourishing than me..."

Before the words fell, Ding Dang Youyou woke up, saw Shui Wuyou in front of her, quickly jumped up, pressed his head and hit the ground, and shouted loudly: "Young Master, Your Majesty is here, hurry up!" See you, long live Shanhu."

Shui Wuyou was powerless after being drunk, and was knocked down three times by Ding Dong. While kowtowing, he muttered: "Grandpa Chen, have you seen it? I said he lived a better life than me. Look, look, look, we two Who is the master here?"

The always majestic emperor laughed angrily, gritted his teeth a few times, and snorted: "This is all a mess. Ding Dong, I think your master is still drunk at this time, please serve him well and drink some hangover soup Let him go to the South Study Room to meet him at night refreshed, or he will be beheaded. Chen Lan, let's go."

Eunuch Chen agreed, then turned around and gave a warning, and then he and the two guards followed the emperor out of the gate.

After all the people left without seeing their shadows, Shui Wuyou on the ground suddenly lifted Ding Dang's hand, and snorted, "Don't hold it down anymore, dare you take this opportunity to avenge yourself? Ding Dang, I didn't mean you, I treat you well on weekdays."

Ding Dong said unhappily: "My son, I have been with you for the past few years, and I have not gained any other benefits at all. It is that the heart has been strengthened by you. If it is not strong enough, it will be a little bit worse now. I don’t know how many times I’ve been scared to death.”

"What are you afraid of? Didn't I tell you earlier? Even if I rush to my own death, I will definitely protect you." Shui Wuyou chuckled, his already handsome face bloomed like a spring flower, and became even more beautiful dazzling.

"Okay, don't use this kind of words to bribe the young one. The young one is not loyal enough to the young master. If you change another person, you will have stolen the money and run away. Okay, young master, you go and rest first, I will give you the money." You are going to bring the hangover soup, and you will have to take a bath and change clothes later, and you will enter the palace for a face. I think the emperor is very powerful, so you should be more careful."

"What are you afraid of? I'm not drunk, but it's just for the emperor to see. Let me sleep for a while. As for bathing and changing clothes, do you think this is a draft for the palace? This is very good, anyway, the emperor came to look for it today Me, definitely not to see what suits me to wear."

Ding Dang curled his lips, suddenly seemed to think of something, and smiled again: "Young master is right, with his talent and appearance, it is more than enough to be a queen, why did the emperor miss you and leave you behind?" What about the people?"

It turns out that the national customs are open, and men can also marry each other. In the past, there were many male concubines in the palace. Even if they could get the emperor's love, they could also be the male queen. Considering that, most of the main wives are still women.

Looking at Shui Wuyou again, his complexion immediately became the bottom of the pot, he kicked Ding Dong lightly, and said bitterly: "I hope I die soon, don't you? Don't worry, I can't make you comfortable even if I die, I have to match it for you." No kid, hurry up and bring me hangover soup."

Ding Dang turned and went out, muttering, "I just said no, but is there a more unlucky servant than me? They just care about the same thing, I'm good, I'm a housekeeper and a valet, and from time to time If I want to be punched and kicked, God is deliberately not giving me a way to survive, but if I die, the idiot son of our family will definitely have no way to survive. He will have to replace all the property in the mansion in less than three days Apricot blossoms are white."

Ding Dong went out the door, here Shui Wuyou entered the bedroom, carefully placed two jars of Xinghuabai under the bed, looked left and right, stood up and bent over to look again, feeling very concealed, then clapped his hands in satisfaction, Then he leaned against the bed rail with a crooked body.

A hand unconsciously caressed his forehead lightly, and the long and narrow Danfeng eyes lost the expression of laughter and became deeper.The other hand lightly tapped on the edge of the bed, and said to himself, "Has it been a year and a half? You have ignored me for such a long time, and suddenly let me enter the palace today, what is the emperor's gourd for sale?" What about the medicine?"

Just as he was thinking, Ding Dong came in with a bowl of hangover soup, Shui Wuyou straightened up in surprise, and shouted, "So fast? Ding Dong, did you use the Samadhi Real Fire?"

Ding Dong rolled his eyes angrily, put the hangover soup on the table, curled his lips and said, "Master, you can joke, don't you know the importance of this hangover soup in our house? You can have no food, no firewood, rice, oil and salt. , this hangover soup is absolutely indispensable..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Shui Wuyou with a smile. He waved his hand and said helplessly, "Ding Dong, son, am I just a bit of a drunkard? Like Han, do you need to be so nervous?"

Ding Dong snorted: "It's not easy for you to be so drunk that you don't know anything, but do you know? How powerful you are once you don't know things. Go. The last time you held a shovel, you must have said it was a fairy in your dreams. The most outrageous thing is that the last time you held the only good donkey in our house and cried loudly, you must have said that the donkey was your death Grandma who died, it’s a good chance that the donkey’s hoof kicked you away.”

When Ding Dong spoke up to this point, he saw that his son's snow-white face had already turned the color of an eggplant, and he finally understood what is enough to stop.So he coughed twice and said: "Okay, okay, I admit that since you followed the young master, you have only been drunk four or five times in these years, and most of them came after you came to Ran country, but young master, I am puzzled, Why every time you get drunk, the servants in the mansion flock to you, expecting you to hug them and drag the beauty into the room, but you never fulfill their wish?"

Shui Wuyou ground his teeth a few times, picked up the hangover soup on the table and drank it down, and said bitterly: "Don't worry, I'll go out tomorrow and get drunk, and when I come back, I'll give your handsome little housekeeper to you." Drag it in, no matter what, I have to make your wish come true..."

Before he could finish speaking, Ding Dong had already fled away with a smile, shouting at the same time: "I don't have this kind of good luck, my lord should be spared."

"Little bastard, you will grind your teeth, and you will get discouraged when it comes to serious things." Shui Wuyou read a few words bitterly, then lay down on the bed, and before closing his eyes, he was still thinking, what exactly is the emperor going to do by himself?However, I heard that Ran State had some wars with Chen State and Yili State on the border, but they were all small-scale. Besides, even if there was a big war, how could Emperor Ran State use himself as a surrender with confidence?

I fell asleep after thinking about it.I don't know how long I slept, and I was talking about poetry and Fu with the beauty in my dream, when I heard a piercing bell ringing in my ears, and then I yelled: "Get up, get up."

Shui Wuyou was so frightened that he sat up from the bed all of a sudden, looked around blankly, and then saw Ding Dong standing on the bedside holding a bell, he was only annoyed, and said bitterly as he stood up, "Thanks to your I still know the face, otherwise I would think that black and white are impermanent to claim my life."

Ding Dong laughed and said: "That's not the case. I can't wake you up anymore. Every time I sleep after being drunk, I feel like a lazy pig. It's fine if it's a normal day. I'm going to enter the palace today. Let's see what time it is? I I've been calling you since a quarter of an hour ago."

Shui Wuyou glanced at the sky outside the window and saw that it was completely dark, so he stretched his waist and smiled and said, "What's the rush? The emperor said that I will enter the palace at night, six hours a night? What are we doing? Get water Come on, I'll wash my face, comb my hair and change my clothes before going to see you."

Before he finished speaking, he heard a high-pitched voice shouting in the courtyard: "The emperor has an order, and Shui Wuyou will immediately enter the palace to meet you. If there is any further delay, I will break my legs and carry it away."

"It's over, the emperor is angry." Ding Dang's face turned pale, and he pushed Shui Wuyou to go out: "Why do you wash your face and comb your hair? You should hurry up."

"Why are you so impatient?" Shui Wuyou also knew that the emperor was getting impatient.Not daring to delay any longer, but muttering in his mouth as he walked out.

The eunuch who delivered the decree gave the unkempt surrender a disdainful look, and said in a strange tone: "Lord Shui, your score is a bit too big, right? No one has ever dared to make the emperor wait like this. You are the first one, we The family only thought that they would break your legs when they came, but who knows that the emperor is so powerful and gave you a chance to reform yourself."

Shui Wuyou touched his smooth chin, smiled wryly and said, "Elder-in-law is looking forward to breaking both legs of this ignorant thing of mine, right? It's okay, don't worry, it will be soon, look at me who just woke up Look, I went to see the emperor, why can't I be punished for a crime of disrespect before driving, whether this head can be kept or not is another matter."

The eunuch stopped talking, put Shui Wuyou on the horse, walked all the way to Jinshui Bridge, got off the horse after entering the palace gate, and walked around for a cup of tea. A man held a lantern and walked over calmly.

Before people could get close, the eunuch beside Shui Wuyou had already knelt down, kowtowed and said: "I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince." After finishing speaking, seeing Shui Wuyou still standing there stupidly, he couldn't help saying anxiously: " What are you doing standing there stupidly? This is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, why don't you kneel down and pay homage."

Shui Wuyou felt a fiery and arrow-like sight shot at him, and couldn't help trembling suddenly, and quickly knelt down to see him, but he wondered in his heart if he had offended the prince at some point, otherwise the other party would see Why is he looking so unkindly at himself?

Just as he was thinking, he heard the prince say in a deep voice: "Get up." Then he stepped in front of Shui Wuyou, looked up at him, and snorted coldly: "You are Shui Wuyou?"

"Back to His Royal Highness, the subject is Shui Wuyou."

The second monk Shui Wuyouzhang was puzzled, not understanding where the prince's hostility came from.Although I couldn't see clearly under the moonlight, I just felt that the prince was tall and handsome, and he shouldn't be jealous of his appearance, not to mention that the other party was not a woman, so what was going on with the hatred in his eyes?Just because he is a surrender?But the status of a surrender does not need to be so important to the dignified prince, right?

"Hmph." Shui Wuyou didn't dare to look at the prince, but the prince looked him over from head to toe, then turned around without saying a word and walked forward with a livid face. Not far away was the South Study Room.

"I... I haven't offended the prince, have I?" Shui Wuyou scratched his head, then rushed to a nearby pool in two or three steps, and shouted to the little eunuch, "Wait for me, let me wash my face twice."
