Wei Lingfeng

Chapter 2 Disappointment

The author has something to say: It rained heavily all day today, and I couldn't go out at all.

I didn't know when to hold the rose branch tightly in my hand, the sharp thorns pierced deeply into my palm, and the deep red blood left along the branch, but I didn't feel any pain at all. While listening to the little uncle said:

"Since you insist on this, Shilin is not talented, so he can only be a blocker."

"Master Taishiling, please." My father didn't care at all. Although Taishiling's rank was not low, he compiled history books and managed classics, but in the end he was just a civil servant with no real power. The population is thin, and when it comes to my little uncle, it has been a single heir for three generations, and there are no capable in-laws.Father naturally doesn't have to worry about it.

I got up and went back to my room before they came out.

As soon as I entered, I found that Yun's mother was waiting for me.

"Where did my brother go, let the old slave find it easily. It's late at night and the dew outside is heavy, so it's time to rest earlier."

"I just couldn't sleep and went out for a couple of laps."

"Knowing that my brother has been sleeping lightly recently, I specially asked someone to make milk cakes, which are not greasy and have no fishy smell."

"I don't want to eat." Seeing Yun's mother, I couldn't help but lose my temper.

"That's all." Yun's mother seemed hesitant to speak.

"What do you always want to say?"

"It's nothing serious, but Chunya behaved badly today, which caused my brother to lose his temper. I've already sent her to do some rough work. Let Huixin come back to take care of you."

"Really, I'm afraid you have misunderstood. I don't think she has done a good job. There is no need to replace her. Let her continue to serve tomorrow."

"Brother, you are a lot of adults," Yun's mother said in a good voice, "It's just that I think this girl is unlucky, she doesn't have to offend you, it's better to let her go."

"She's unlucky? If she's really unlucky, she won't let you always come and help her talk," I smiled faintly, "Mother Yun, you brought me up since I was a child, so you may as well speak up if you have anything to say."

Seeing me like this, Mother Yun could only say:

"That girl is a solid person with one heart and one mind, so why should my brother make things difficult for her everywhere? The old slave sent her away to seek peace in the house."

"I made things difficult for her? The contract with Ding'an Hou Mansion is the fingerprint I forced her to press?"

"Is it right?"

"It's good that you always know, why, now I am becoming more and more insignificant in this Hou's mansion, can I not even be a maid?"

"Of course not. Who would dare to belittle Wei's son-in-law, but Lord Hou often praised the eldest son for his kindness. This old slave thought that if this story got out, even if it was true, Lord Hou would not like it."

"Hmph, it's not just about this matter that he's unhappy, I'm afraid I'm not happy with it."

Yun's mother was taken aback.

"Brother, a son can't say that."

I kicked the whole table over with a bang, and the dishes smashed to pieces on the ground.

"Don't worry, your Lord Marquis now has a place to use me. Even if I point his nose and say this to his face, I'm afraid he won't do anything."

I laughed out loud.

"I can't see it, I also have a day when I will be regarded as a member of the Wei clan."

Seeing my frantic appearance, Mother Yun hurriedly stepped forward in fright and said in a trembling voice:

"Brother in the evening, don't get so angry. It's all old servants who are busy. Let Chunya come back tomorrow to serve you. Tonight, I'd better go to bed early."

"Get out, get out of here, no one is allowed to stay here!"

I don't know if my father and elder brother heard the movement here, but they didn't make any movement anyway.I sat on the edge of the bed, looked at the mess all over the floor, indulged in getting used to the cold, and was afraid that I would really go crazy from the cold at this moment.

After changing my clothes, I left the mansion and galloped all the way to the city gate.Naturally, the gate of the city was closed at this time, so I walked around to the edge of the moat where there were few people and got off my horse.

The river of stars all over the sky reflects the gurgling river water, which seems to be able to suck people into it.I fell down on the soft grass, staring at the extremely bright starry sky, wishing I could melt into it and never meet others.

After tossing around for half a day, I am really tired. I close my eyes, and it would be nice to die in this sea of ​​galaxies.

Speaking of which, I thought that Mama Yun had told me before that there was a well in the fairyland beyond the sea, and if I looked down the well, I could see how I would die in the future.

When I was young, I didn't know why I was very afraid of death. After hearing this story, I just felt uncomfortable.For me, death is like a lonely catastrophe, which completely separates me from others. When I go to Naihe Bridge and drink Meng Po soup, I will forget myself, leaving no trace in the world.Just like the heavy snow that fell into the river that winter, no one will remember it after it has passed, and it will melt when it enters the water.

Knowing how to die is just the cruelest criminal law, which makes people lose all hope in the face of fate.

No matter how unwilling I am, I have to admit that without this mother-like face, I would really lose everything.I think it’s not death itself that I’m afraid of, but that until death, there is no one who treats me sincerely, no one who makes me feel at ease, holds my hand and tells me not to be afraid, no one will cry for my departure irresistible.

However, maybe apart from my appearance, I am indeed not worthy of being treated like this by others.

Indulging in the sea of ​​stars that seemed within reach, I do not know when I fell asleep in the sour breath of green grass.

"You don't look very well." Xiaoling said to me after changing the eunuch's clothes.

"That's not the case. A warrior like me would not get sick so easily." I smiled lightly at her, got up from the riverbank today and came to the palace, and waited until almost dusk before I got a hint to come and lead her away.

When she heard what I said, she burst out laughing with a "puchi".

"You are such a beautiful person, it's really strange to call yourself a martial artist."

I don't know if she was born outside the Great Wall, although her behavior and speech are [-]% like that of Han people, but sometimes her words are very out of tune.

"Let's go, just remember to keep your head down all the way, even if others ask questions, I will help you deal with it."

Thinking of her current situation, her face became tense again.

"Is it true that no one will interrogate?"

In the past, I would definitely tease her a few words, but at the moment I am not in the mood, so I just said:

"Just trust me."

"Well, I believe in you." Unexpectedly, she stretched out a catkin and held my hand with sincere eyes. "No matter what you say, I will believe it."

Thinking about her words in the past few days in a daze, I can't help but have some aftertaste.

No way, I've only known her for a few days, and when I think of her always praising my appearance, I feel a little unhappy.Hmph, thanks to her being born as a family member, she is a woman after all, so she doesn't care about it for the sake of a better skin.

"I won't talk about this kind of talk until I leave here." While speaking, he pulled out his hand without showing any trace.

The road went very smoothly, the imperial guards were equal to the people in front of the emperor, and others would not easily become suspicious when they saw me bringing a little eunuch.When I was about to reach the gate of the palace, I saw the "little eunuch" beside me trembling slightly, feeling helpless, I could only comfort in a low voice:

"and me."

After hearing this, she really felt better.It seems that I have never experienced any hardship since I was a child, and I am so anxious about a little thing.

Just as I was about to take her out calmly, a feminine voice sounded behind me.

"Master Wei shouldn't be on duty right now, why are you going out?"

It was Zhao Yuxun, who was neither male nor female.

"The emperor has assigned some matters." My general answer meant that you should not ask questions that should not be asked.

Either Zhao Yuxun was a no-brainer, or he was making things difficult on purpose. Instead, he made a look of astonishment and said:

"Since your Majesty asked someone like Master Wei to leave with a young eunuch at this time, it must be something serious?"

As I said that, I began to look Xiaoling up and down, and I whispered in my heart that something was wrong, Zhao Yuxun must have been used to romantic places before as an actor, how could he be as indistinguishable as a gatekeeper?

Sure enough, a mocking smile appeared on his face as he looked at him.

"As expected of the people around Lord Wei, even a little eunuch is different from other places."

"My lord Zhao is serious. The emperor gave me a man, so what right do I have to pick and choose?"

These words really blocked Zhao Yuxun, he seemed a little uncertain whether this was really Wei Guangche's will.

"I have something urgent to do, next time I'll chat with Mr. Zhao." It's meaningless to say more, it's serious to leave here with Xiaoling first.

"Wait a minute," Zhao Yuxun stretched out his hand to grab my shoulder in a hurry, "This little eunuch looks very strange to me, do you have a token?"

It's just a low-born thing who dares to push his nose and face like this.I kept my expression on the ground, but grabbed his hand and staggered the knuckles of his wrist in an instant with skill.

Zhao Yuxun withdrew his hand reluctantly, but he didn't cry out, but a fine layer of sweat broke out on his head.

"You, you dare to do something to my lord."

Isn’t this nonsense, I smiled and said to him:

"I'm sorry, Mr. Zhao, if you are dissatisfied, just ask, I have no time to waste time with you." Then he deliberately amplified his voice so that all the guards around the gate could hear, "I have delayed the emperor's appointment." It's a big deal, I'm afraid you and I don't have enough lives to pay for it."

Then he shouted to Xiaoling who was stunned by the side:

"Let's go, don't even check what time it is."

When he finally went out, he took Xiaoling around for a few more alleys before saying:

"Okay, go down and figure out the way yourself."

Unexpectedly, this girl grabbed my sleeve.

"Come with me." She couldn't hide the anxiety on her face. "Just go back like this, what if someone reports on you?"

"Your Majesty doesn't have so much free time. You have to check all these mung bean-sized matters one by one, so don't worry about it."

"But that... that Mr. Zhao doesn't look like a good person."

"Don't worry, it's just something from an actor's background, not to mention that if I leave, the Ding'an Hou Mansion will suffer."

After hearing what I said, she had no choice but to give up, and immediately removed a crystal jade pendant from her neck and stuffed it into my hand.

"I will stay here for a few more days. If you are in trouble, you can come to the Shengyan Inn in Beijing and find me. Show this to the shopkeeper and he will understand."

It seems that this group of remnants of Hulan's foothold is there.

"Okay," I smiled and hung the jade pendant around my neck deliberately, "If it really doesn't work, at least I'll treat you to a meal."

Her eyes were red.

"This is a parting, I don't know when we will see each other again."

"Girl and I are predestined, as long as you come to the capital, are you afraid that you won't meet?" I pretended to be gentle, "Don't think about it, your family must be very anxious if they haven't heard from you for a few days."

One sentence reminded her, and she left in a hurry.Watching her back disappear into the alley, the smile on my face also faded.So naive, I'm afraid that in the end, I don't know how he died.

Back in the palace, I went straight to the Liangyi Hall to ask for an interview. Although everything I did was ordered by Wei Guangche, it would be tricky if that Zhao Yuxun came to talk nonsense again.

When I saw the emperor, that scene really made me almost spit out.

Zhao Yuxun helped Wei Guangche grind it like a little daughter-in-law, and said in a soft voice that seemed to melt away:

"Your Majesty, look, the left hand of the minister is bruised a lot, but the right hand is fine." He clearly knew that I had come in, so he had to say such words to make it clear that he was waiting for Wei Guangche to help him out.

With this thing standing next to the emperor, I really don’t want to kneel down, it looks like I have to kneel to him, so I have to grit my teeth and prepare to salute, but Wei Guangche said like a prophet:

"Don't kneel, the matter is over?"

"Yes, I will strictly follow His Majesty's orders."

"Very good." Wei Guangche nodded, then smiled at Zhao Yuxun:

"Go down first."

After the emperor spoke, he could only leave resentfully.

"Why do you have to argue with Yu Xun at the gate of the palace, if the woman finds out, it will be a shock."

"I don't dare to compete with Mr. Zhao, but I'm just afraid of delaying His Majesty's important affairs."

"Forget it," Wei Guangche said while reading the brochure, "It's not uncommon for children from aristocratic families like you to fail to see his origin."

I don't know why, but his words about being a child from a noble family made me feel like I was stabbed hard by something.

So what about actors, whoever Wei Guangche likes dares to refute him face to face, I think sometimes in Wei Guangche's eyes I am no different from Zhao Yuxun, the difference is that Zhao Yuxun is more obedient.As for me, with the airs of an official's son, my insides have long been riddled with holes.

No matter how low Zhao Yuxun is, at least Wei Guangche can help him speak, and that's enough.Wei Guangche's smile on his face just now was far from his usual majesty.

"What's wrong?" Wei Guangche's observation skills were excellent. "So pale."
