Minister

44【Six Years of Jiankang】

The sun shines on the two young people through the huge windows. This mysterious palace separates the hustle and bustle of the world, making it so quiet that it hurts the ears.During the silence, the deep bells in the palace echoed again.

Saul Hahan opened his eyes, turned over and sat up: "Aren't you hungry?"

Wei Chi didn't move: "I'm already hungry..."

Saul Hahan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and kicked the lying person: "Then get up quickly!"

"I'm too hungry to move... ah..." Wei Chi covered his stomach with his hands: "In order not to spoil the high-style atmosphere just now... I endured it for too long."

"Oh...in that case, I'll go first," Saul Hahan stood up, patted the corner of his clothes, "for a while, please ask Mr. Wei to walk up the black stairs alone..."

Wei Chi threw a 'black donkey roll' on Saul Hahan's leg: "I'll go, I'll go..."

Saul Hahan raised his hand and patted Wei Chi away: "Master Wei, are you really scared?"

Wei Chi pouted: "Why can't it be real fear? I'm not a real man, so it's not surprising that there are one or two things I'm afraid of!"

Because he had been prepared for a long time, Wei Chi closed his eyes as soon as he entered the cave, and leaned his head on Saul Hahan.Although Saul Hahan is not short, he is still slightly smaller than Wei Chi by half a head, and the gap between the two of them will be even further as soon as Wei Chi puts on official boots.It felt really strange to be hugged by such a tall man. Wei Chi closed his eyes again, staggering and unable to take a step. In order not to really roll down the stairs, Saul Hahan had no choice but to backhand Wei Chi. Shoulder: "You man, are you annoying!"

Wei Chi felt that Saul Hahan supported him with his backhand, hummed twice, and closed his eyes even tighter with the appearance of a villain gaining power.

Saul Hahan felt a little awkward, but in fact, Wei Chi was more personable most of the time.Because of her young age, her facial features are really a bit indistinguishable. During the time I was with her, except for very rare times when I saw her pretending to be stupid, she was still an 'adult' style on weekdays.Especially the way she looks serious about doing things, I can't help wondering if she is a real woman, I always feel that such a focused and serious demeanor should not be what a woman should have.

Although he grew up in the deep palace when he was young, his studies were with the two brothers.After reading the lectures in the school, and then comparing the female playmates and maids around me, I think women should be like this, and men should be like that.He has great ambitions and seems to have a bit of domineering, but he is not the same as Wei Chi.Perhaps it was the masculine style in her conversation that concealed the beauty of her face, making people feel that she was beautiful, and she definitely couldn't be a man.

"Have you been raised by a boy since you were a child? You haven't been a girl for a day, have you?" Saul Hahan blurted out thinking of this.

"Well, it seems to be..." Wei Chi shook his head: "I don't remember when I was too young, but since I entered the academy and followed my teacher at the age of five, I seem to have been pretending to be a boy all the time."

"Oh..." Saul Hahan responded, and glanced at Wei Chi's slender eyebrows and feet through the dim light, remembering that she was foolish and messing around with herself, and she had the attitude of a little girl. The hands that felt a little awkward at first became more natural, and supported the man's shoulders, and walked down step by step.

The two finally staggered to the bronze door.

"arrive."

"It's here?" Wei Chi immediately let go of his hand, stood up vigorously, and regained his usual demeanor.

Seeing the man's serious and hypocritical posture, Saul Hahan couldn't help but want to scare her. He was thinking about it, but he heard a long sound of "grunt" in the corridor.

Seeing that Saul Hahan was laughing so badly, Wei Chi felt a little helpless: "Okay, okay, let's go, it's not proper for you, a lady from a famous family, to laugh like this."

"Don't talk about me! How unseemly is the stomach of a noble lady like you?" Saul Hahan managed to straighten his waist and rubbed it vigorously.

Wei Chi gritted his teeth: "Where am I from a famous family? I'm just a lady in thatched cottage... just now there was not enough fodder, so that's why."

Saul Hahan couldn't help pinching the man's mouth: "I'm finally relieved, don't make me laugh anymore!"

When the two rushed to the dining hall, many people had already sat down to receive tea.This place is not the same as the dining hall in the north hall, it is much more casual and you can sit at will.It is estimated that this place is used for dinner, and everyone needs to recite sutras together before eating together.Saul Hahan led Wei Chi into a hall.The hall can seat about 300 people, and the looks and demeanor of those people are all of status. Except for one or two "living beings" who are dressed in gray robes like myself, the rest are all dressed as monks.Saul Hahan winked, and Wei Chi went to the vacant seats next to those 'living beings'.After taking his seat, a young monk walked to the middle of the hall holding a copper bell and shook it.Wei Chi imitated the others and arranged the dishes on the small table one by one.Several monks carrying buckets walked in through the middle door, scooping meals one by one into their own bowls and dishes.Wei Chi glanced at it, and it was mostly stew, which was not much different from what he ate last night.

Although there are more than [-] seats in the hall, but for some reason, apart from the top seats being filled, half of the seats are empty.The monks quickly divided the meals and retreated silently.The leading old monk took the copper bell from the young monk and rang it again.People around covered their eyes with their hands and chanted sutras.

This Wei Chi understood that blindfolding meant to be grateful to the Holy Spirit.Wei Chi also hurriedly imitated that, but unfortunately he didn't understand the Monan scriptures. After thinking about it for a while, he memorized a section of the "Three Character Classics", thinking that he was unable to do his best.

During the meal, no one spoke in the hall, and Wei Chi didn't know the specific rules, so he had to learn while eating.Later, the leading monks left the scene, and the 'living beings' next to him sneaked up and said, "This gentleman is really interesting, but he recited the Three Character Classic."

Wei Chi smiled while drinking the soup: "I just laughed."

"Presumably, your lord's surname is Wei...isn't it?"

"Exactly."

"If you want to continue the meal, you can lightly knock the table." That person stood up and left the table: "I am the patriarch of the Yan Buna family, nice to meet you."

Wei Chi cupped his hands slightly: "It's a pleasure to meet you. I'll meet you someday and talk about it in detail."

Looking at the back of that person leaving, Wei Chi thought to himself, isn't this Qibu Na's family the same as the Monan fur dealer that gave the Ministry of Rites a headache?Why does the Central Plains need so much sheepskin?Because of the face of the contract between the two countries, the Ministry of Rituals had to make accommodations, suffered a lot of tension, hated this Monan noble from the bottom of their hearts, and wrote some materials to criticize these people.Hehe, maybe you want to use your own face to get close?How can I have such a big face?Poor waste of time... Wei Chi shook his head lightly, and knocked on the edge of the table.

After leaving the dining hall, he didn't know where Saul Hahan was going, so it would be wrong to ask rashly.Wei Chi walked out of the main hall, and as soon as he reached the door, he met the monk who handed him the 'grey robe'.The monk stepped forward, respectfully helped Wei Chi untie his gray robe, and moved to a small room behind him: "My lord, please stay here later."

It was almost noon when Wei Chi saw Saul Hahan changed into casual clothes and came out of the hall.Wei Chi poked his head curiously to see those believers knelt on the ground and stroked the floor Saul Hahan walked on.

"Unbelievable." Wei Chi couldn't help but secretly said.

Saul Hahan ignored her and just made a gesture of invitation.

The two left the Madalina Palace and went further south.The farther south you go, the more rugged the road is, and you won't see the stone steps after walking for a while.Saul Hahan took Wei Chi's hand and walked towards the seemingly pathless grass. After walking for more than half an hour, Wei Chi was surprised to find that these valleys were full of springs one by one.The place where the spring came out was surrounded by circular ponds, steaming hot.

"Yo! Yo!" Wei Chi touched the stone by the pool: "It's really hot."

"Don't touch it randomly, some of them are hot!" Saul Hahan stuffed the square box in Wei Chi's hand: "I just hold this when I'm in a hurry, my hands are sore."

Saul Hahan did not stay in this spring, but led Wei Chi further south.When those springs are left behind, there is a deep mountain depression in front of you.Saul Hahan pointed to the mud ladder at his feet, and led Wei Chi inside.At the bottom of the valley, the ground under your feet is not mud, but fine sand.Saul Hahan stroked his sleeves: "Did you see that cave? I'm going to take you there today."

The more you walk in the direction of the cave, the sand becomes finer. When you walk to the entrance of the cave and look inside, it is not eerie. This is a very shallow cave with smooth stone walls. There is a spring gushing out from the cave. Extremely wide and high, the spring water was phosphorescent with waves reflected by the sun.Saul Hahan sat on the edge of the pebble pool and waved to Wei Chi: "What are you doing stupidly sticking around? Come here and put this box on this stone."

After Wei Chi put it away, he was surprised to find——that Her Royal Highness took off her clothes on her own.

"Hey!" Wei Chi yelled.

Saul Hahan ignored the fussy Mrs. Wei, took a gauze from the box, wrapped it around his hair, and untied his own underwear: "Are you still wearing it? Take it off? "

"Take it off?" Wei Chi was dumbfounded.

Saul Hahan pursed his lips at the pool of water: "I took you so far to take a bath here. Could it be that you want to wash together in your official uniform?" During the words, Saul Hahan had already taken off He was naked and went into the pool by himself.

Seeing Saul Hahan's comfortable appearance, Wei Chi was a little embarrassed. He has never really seen anyone naked when he grows up.After blushing, I thought again, since I grew up... no one has ever seen myself naked.

Saul Hahan didn't persuade him, but just soaked comfortably by himself. After soaking for a while, he heard a rustling sound behind him. Looking back, the idiot seemed to have figured it out, and slowly untied his belt Come.

"Go back! Go back!" Wei Chi covered his neckline with an extremely ridiculous posture.

Saul Hahan rolled his eyes at her: "Bring me a hand towel when you come in."

Wei Chi struggled for a while again, unable to bear the temptation of the spring water, he began to think very seriously whether he should take off his shirt first or his fur trousers first.After thinking about it for a while, I felt awkward, awkward, awkward!I looked around again, and confirmed that within a hundred miles of this place, there should be nothing walking on two legs except Saul Hahan!With a determined mind, he untied all the belts and stroked them down.I wanted to go straight into the water, but suddenly I remembered that the hard-to-serve master just said "handkerchief, handkerchief"?Immediately, he cursed himself an 'idiot' and jumped towards the box.Finding a hand towel, I wanted to cover up my embarrassment, but unfortunately I didn't know where to cover it--again, I whispered to myself.It seems that you still have to learn to be a woman, or you don't even know where to be shy!

Miss Wei, who didn't know where to be 'coy', had no choice but to step into the pool very 'coyly'.Once you come in, you will regret it!The water is clear!Even the stones and sand at the bottom of the pool can be seen clearly, and it is really a waste of time to cover them up and down.

Saul Hahan took the handkerchief thrown by Wei Chi, and looked at Miss Wei who hid far away with a half-smile.Sure enough, after a while, Wei Chi jumped out of the water in a panic and ran over here: "Oh! What's in the water!!!"

Saul Hahan's face was splashed with water, and he managed to separate his hands wrapped around his neck: "Girl, your jade arms are too hard!"

Wei Chi said with a mournful face, "There is something in the water."

Saul Hahan picked up some water and splashed it on Wei Chi's chest: "Yo! Why don't you cover it up now?"

Only then did Wei Chi realize that the water in the pool had just reached his thighs, so it was true that he was standing like this... quickly squatted down.

Saul Hahan watched with great interest this thick-skinned villain shrinking into a ball in shame and embarrassment.Wei Chi shrank for a while, then leaned over again: "Water... there is really something in the water, I'd better go to the shore and wait for you..."

Seeing that Wei Chi was really frightened, Saul Hahan grabbed her arm and pushed her back into the water: "Don't move, look."

Wei Chi collected himself, and then he saw clearly that those slippery little things were not monsters, but a group of small silver fishes.

"Alas...why did they swim towards me? They bit me just now!" Wei Chi splashed the water, and the little fishes retreated a little bit back into the pond when they heard the movement.

"Tell you not to move!" Saul Hahan pressed Wei Chi's hand: "Can I still harm you?"

The two of them calmed down, and the group of small fish surrounded them again. Wei Chi saw clearly that it was a fish, and it was not big, so he felt relieved and let the fish approach.

"They're not biting you, they're eating the dirty things on your body! Look..." Saul Hahan pointed to the little fish that was parked next to Wei Chi's leg: "How can you wash every corner of your body when you take a bath? Clean? This kind of fish goes to places with skin flakes, so after soaking in this pond once, the skin will be quite smooth. How can it be compared with the sulfur-smelling water in the front? These fish are timid You're going to scare them when you move."

Upon closer inspection, I found that these fish were different from ordinary fish. Apart from being slender and white, they had soft skin and no scales.The long tail fin glowed with silvery white light, like a silver flower being thrown into the water.The mouth didn't look like it had teeth, and its personality was very docile, so it stepped back half a step and leaned towards Wei Chi.

The little fish did exactly what Saul Hahan said, pecking at Wei Chi's knee one after another.There are two mouths here, two mouths here, after Wei Chi calmed down, the group of fish swam over one after another, and finally several big fishes that were as wide as palms came.

"Hahaha..." Wei Chi was so itchy that he couldn't help but grabbed Saul Hahan's hand: "No, no, no, I must move. It's too itchy."

Concentrated on playing with this group of fish, Wei Chi forgot his restraint and clamored to catch a few to show them some 'color'.

Saul Hahan rested his chin quietly, looking at her laughing face, he was a little absent-minded.That body is indeed just like her own, it is a woman, a real woman.The unique shyness of people from the Central Plains finally added a touch of charm to her, and the selfless game finally made her reveal a touch of naughtiness unique to girls.Wei Chi, am I the only one in this world who has seen you like this?Suddenly he remembered the "friend's younger sister" that Wei Chi mentioned, and wondered if that "sister" could still admire Wei Chi after seeing Wei Chi like this.

Wei Chi was taller than his legs, and because of the recent running around, the lines on his body became more mushy, like a leopard cat walking on the grassland.Compared with Saul Hahan's pale copper-colored skin, Wei Chi has the unique fairness of people in Sichuan. In the past, he didn't notice it just by looking at his face, but today he discovered that only the group of fish in this pond were paler than her.

"What are you in a daze for?" Wei Chi splashed a handful of water in front of Saul Hahan.

"Oh?" Saul Hahan hurriedly blocked the splash with his hands.After the water splashed away, Saul Hahan smiled and thought, you really should be called Wei Chi, and only in this water can you be the real you.

When the fish had eaten enough, they swam back to the cave in the cave.The surface of the water gradually calmed down, and after the entanglement with the last small fish ended, Wei Chi finally remembered the word reserved, grabbed the towel from Saul Hahan's hand, and hastily surrounded himself.

"I'm not a man, what are you wearing?" Saul Hahan said angrily.

Wei Chi held on to the towel but didn't let go: "I don't know... I can't stand this feeling."

"I've read it all just now, and it's too late for you to cover it up now!" Saul Hahan said disdainfully, "What's more, where do you want to cover up with such a little cloth?"

In the end, Saul Hahan took advantage of Wei Chi's inattention, grabbed the handkerchief, and threw it far away.After dipping the towel in the water, it flew five or six feet away, and Wei Chi couldn't reach it even if he wanted to.

"Jump ashore and get it!" Saul Hahan couldn't help but continue teasing.

Wei Chi looked at the handkerchief helplessly, and shrank back awkwardly.After finally receding the tide, his face turned red again.Saul Hahan looked curiously at where the girl's hands were going to cover.As a result... Unexpectedly, Wei Chi buried his face in his hands tremblingly.

"Hahahaha" Saul Hahan couldn't take it anymore, and laughed while patting the water.

Having laughed enough, seeing that the girl was still buried there, he swam over and grabbed her hand: "What are you afraid of?"

"Hey..." Wei Chi and her tried their best: "I don't know, I'm just flustered."

Saul Hahan opened the tightly closed hands: "Look, am I not the same as you? We are all girls."

Wei Chi carefully looked at Saul Hahan through his fingers. Indeed, we are all...girls!
