Chapter 28: The Dream of Wuchen as a Slave
Seeing that Si Wuchen had sent Ji Gongxue and Hong De away with just one sentence, the old lady looked at the mess in the house and remained silent for a while. Then, she drove away the neighbors who were watching the fun and called a family to come over and talk to them," You all saw what happened today. What do you think we should do?
None of them spoke.
The old lady asked her eldest son,"I've seen him before. What's the background of that old man?"
Si Zeng Jian told his mother everything.
When the old lady heard this, she said,"It seems that we can't afford to offend them." Wu Chen, what do you think? These two men are here for you.
" I…" Si Wuchen stammered but didn't know how to say it.
The old lady said,"But these two men can't just go on like this!" Which one of you has a good idea?
There was nothing they could do about it.
Seeing that she couldn't get anything out of him, the old lady asked everyone to leave. She told Si Wuchen not to go out for the time being in fear of causing other trouble, and asked Si Zeng to come down and talk.
When Si Zeng saw everyone leave, he asked," Mother, what can I do for you?
The old lady said,"Wu Chen can't stay in this house anymore."
Si Zeng Jian didn't say anything.
The old lady continued," You saw it too. These two men have powerful backgrounds. The Si Family can't afford to offend them, let alone offend anyone." Wu Chen, you can't do this. She's the root of trouble. If it was given to him, the other would have objections, and if it was given to the other, he would have objections. If we don't handle this matter well, we won't even know how our heads are moved.
Si Zeng Jian asked,"Then what should we do?"
The old lady frowned and said,"What a femme fatale!" femme fatale.
Si Zengjian did not say anything.
The old lady continued,"Call the clan leader over."
Si Zeng saw this and went out to call for the clan leader.
The old chief was an old man, and he was also " deaf " and " stubborn ", but he said that this was the first time he had encountered such a thing, so he called the village chief over to discuss.
Si Zengjian said,"It's my family matter. Why did you call him here?"
The old lady said,"He has seen a lot of things. Let's see what other good ideas he has."
Si Zeng Jian reluctantly went out and called the village chief over.
The old lady asked Si Zengjian to go out alone with the village chief. the clan leader said.
The clan leader said,"Today, I'm taking advantage of my seniority to say something that I'm not afraid of angering you. Since ancient times, beautiful women have always been troublesome." I've seen your Wu Chen. She's charming and beautiful. I've never seen her like this before.
The old lady lowered her head and forced a smile. That's right! Didn't I have no choice but to come to you? I want to see what good ideas you have to make such a big commotion.
Village Chief said," A beauty like Wu Chen, with just a little clothing, would definitely be Ke 'er's beauty. She's gorgeous, but she's a rare beauty in the past dynasties." I do have a relative serving the Empress Dowager in the monarch's residence. Why not do this? This child has a good home and won't have to suffer. With this child's looks, you might be able to benefit from the wealth. As for the two outside, they were not difficult to deal with.
When the old lady heard this, she quickly smiled and said,"Then I'll have to trouble the village chief."
Village Chief said,"It's just that it's not easy to enter the monarch's residence. My niece who serves the Empress Dowager can't leave the monarch's residence either." If he waited for her to come back, who knew how long it would be.
Once the old lady understood, she took out some money and said to the village chief, I don't have much money at home. I hope that Village Chief will put in a good word for your niece in front of the Empress Dowager and ask for a good price.
The village chief was naturally unhappy when he saw that the old lady had only given him a few dollars. However, thinking that Si Wuchen was a peerless beauty, it was not difficult for him to earn some money, so he agreed.
The village chief knew that it was not easy to go to the king's manor, and he also knew that the money the old lady gave him was nothing, so he paid some money to see his niece.
Money makes things easier.
The village chief used money to get through the security guards step by step before he landed outside and waited.
The maid serving the empress dowager was called Lu Jiao, and she was the niece of the village chief. When she saw her uncle and heard that there was a beautiful woman, she was pleased. Her goal was to use this to please her master and empress. She asked her uncle to bring it over to take a look. As for the price, it was up to the person. She also informed the old empress about this matter.
It turned out that the king of Bao was also looking for beautiful women in Bao Country in order to strengthen the marriage relationship with the Zhou royal family.
When the old empress dowager heard her maid Lu Jiao's words, she was naturally very happy. She allowed Lu Jiao's leave and sent her out of the palace to take a look. She also gave her some delicious pastries and clothes to take home.
Lu Jiao returned home in glory. When had her family ever eaten such delicious pastries in the palace? The old clothes in the palace also lit up the eyes of these country bumpkins. Many people were envious to death. They "investigated and asked about the details" about the palace.
Lu Jiao was joking around at home, but she didn't forget that she had a serious business to attend to. She wanted to see if Si Wuchen was the beauty that people said he was. When asked, everyone said that Si Wuchen was a peerless beauty.
As soon as Lujiao heard that Si Wuchen was a peerless beauty, she sent her little brother to call Uncle Village Chief over to see how beautiful Si Wuchen was. Good-looking? He did not believe that there was a peerless beauty in the world.
The village chief knew that his niece Lujiao had come back because of his words, so he smiled and wanted to see her. Unexpectedly, his nephew had already found her.
Lu Jiao was led by Uncle Village Chief to the Si Clan, and she started to size up Si Wuchen, who was carrying tea. As Lu Jiao was a person who had seen the world and had served the old lady for many years, she had already cultivated an "old man's" demeanor. She looked like an experienced woman in charge.
Si Wuchen didn't know who the guests were. Anyway, the old lady asked him to serve them tea. Although the tea leaves weren't good, they were made with willow leaves. He didn't expect that as soon as he entered, he would be looked at by Lu Jiao's "strange" eyes. It was as if there was something on his body that the other party couldn't see. He couldn't help but follow Lu Jiao's gaze and look for him. However, he didn't see her and didn't know what the other party's gaze was for. How could this person look at people like this? What a monster! It made the people watching feel embarrassed.
Lu Jiao looked at Si Wuchen and thought to herself,'I've seen many beauties in Bao Kingdom Palace, but she's the only one who's so beautiful.' There was light in her eyes, but it was the appearance of human life. She was as beautiful as a painting, her eyes glistening, and her eyebrows curled. He couldn't tell what was good about her, but no one could replace her. She was really beautiful and moving.
Since Ji Gongxue saw Si Wuchen, she had lost herself and was infatuated with him. She often had fantasies and talked in her sleep.
Chai Hao looked at Ji Gong You and them eating dinner under the stars and moon in the open air and said unhappily," I also wanted to get a lot of delicious food, but I can only get these now. I can only make do with it.
Hearing this, Breakpoint said,"I thought that His Highness the Crown Prince was a delicacy in the palace, but now he is eating such wild vegetables. Isn't it not worth it?"
Jigong Ao said,"I'm tired of the delicacies in the palace, so they don't taste as good as these wild vegetables." As for whether it was worth it or not? I still think it's worth it.
Chai Hao and Breakpoint looked at each other and said in unison, Was it worth it?
Ji Gong said with relish,"Yes!" It was worth it.
Chai Hao and Breakpoint asked together: How is it worth it?
Ji Gongyou took a sip of wine and said,"Seeing that you're like a lonely ghost wandering in the world and can't find a sense of belonging, it's natural that you're not worth it." I'm different. It's as if I've placed a touch of my feelings into this beautiful moonlight, letting out all my worries and waiting for the spring flowers to bloom. However, the wind, flowers, snow, and moon all contain feelings.
Chai Hao and Breakpoint nodded and said," So it was like this.
Ji Gong said,"I see that the beauty is beautiful and Ling Ran, just like Chang'e guarding the cold palace sadly, but she is a fairy shuffling down the jade platform." That unrestrained posture was graceful and beautiful, but it had an extraordinary beauty. It was like a flower blooming in a quiet place, elegant and beautiful. Even though she had lowered her eyebrows gently, it was as if she did not want to be tainted by the secular world. Even if the world was full of flowers, it could not compare to her smile.
Chai Hao asked: Is she really so beautiful?
Ji Gongyou said,"She's really so beautiful." Her eyes were naturally relaxed and affectionate, and her expression was also full of joy. She was gentle and elegant at times, passionate and unrestrained at other times, but she was like a flower that stretched out and blossomed in spring. She was really beautiful and gentle, charming and charming, smiling like a spring breeze. Closing my eyes, I dream of the stars turning into her
Jigong Huan closed her eyes, seemingly intoxicated.
"Official, official, what are you doing?”A female voice said.
Hearing the female voice, Ji Gong opened her eyes and saw Si Wuchen standing in front of her. She walked up to him and said happily," Why are you here?
Si Wuchen said with a smile," I see you drinking alone to the moon, as if you were drinking a cup of secular yearning, trying to drink up all the sorrow that no one can say, and dancing the waste of a palace of charm and beauty out of the colorful and dim heart."
Ji Gong Huan smiled and said,"I'm the same." Looking at the fragrant moonlight, his heart wanted to pour out a poem, listening to the elegance of flowers blooming in a clear time, not saying vicissitudes, only smelling the fragrance of flowers.
Si Wuchen said," I also want to pull back the past with a wisp of starlight falling down. I want to pluck the string of love and tell you my heartfelt words. I want to use that infatuated heart to twist a fragrance into my dream."
" I also want to hold this beam of moonlight in my hand," said Ji Gongshu." I want to meet a deep love, write a beautiful poem between the lines, and kowtow in my dream."
Si Wuchen said," Stepping lightly on the cold and elegant half moon, throwing out mottled shadows, it warmed people's hearts." I hope to meet you on the blue cloud road. Who knows that I will dream of you for dozens of years?
Ji Gongyou said," This drunken moonlight makes the moonlight full of fragrance. It moistens my thoughts with the spirit of the brush. It's just waiting for you to fall asleep."
Si Wuchen said," I wonder if you're still the place where my passion was first aroused?"
"I don't know," said Ji Gong. But how much I yearn for you, how many short and long feelings, all melted in your eyes. From the first time I saw you, to the first time I was determined to have no regrets, my mind was filled with you. The wind and moon were you, the flowers and trees were you, the vast sea and mountains were you, and you were the person I wanted to find. I fear that my love for you isn't enough.
Si Wuchen said," I shook off the dust on my body, but it felt like I had been in a barren state for a century. In the end, I was the only one left to live through this time." I kept a promise in my heart, engraved with a true love that was difficult to part with, but I became this boundless loneliness, a person bearing the weight of loneliness, do you know?
Ji Gong said,"Why do you have to suffer in the wind and rain when you're in the mortal world?" My heart aches for you. Right now, you seem to be looking at mountains and rivers with empty thoughts, not knowing how to pity the person in front of you. I am the person in front of you.
Si Wuchen said," Seeing Fei Hong's eyes, I wonder whose heart she touched?" Whose spring and autumn have you stirred? The word heart has become ashes, how much sorrow outlines? Can I ask where the true feelings go? The love between heaven and earth is a promise, who can see whether or not that person's heart? If you ask what happened before the flowers, the mountains and rivers are cold all spring.
Ji Gong said,"That's a person who doesn't understand love, so he doesn't know how to cherish it." Looking at your smiling face like a flower, I'm afraid that even three thousand weak waters can't compare to your sweet smile. In this world, the green mountains are burning, the stars are shining, the spring breeze is relaxed, the autumn rain is pattering, the mountain flowers are endless, and the human feelings are gradually changing. They can't compare to the stars between your eyebrows! My love for you is slowly rising in my heart. The rest of my life without you is just a waste. A city without you is my lonely city. Sky City. In my heart, you are the brightest star in the sky. I will use my whole life to pursue you. Tell me, if I lose you, what meaning does my life have? Wasn't it just losing the entire game? My tenderness begins with you, come with me.
Si Wuchen said,"I'm willing to have someone's heart, and I'll never leave you." However, her heart moved and tears flowed down her face. When love moved, the heart was in two places. Just for one sentence, waiting for the next time we meet, my heart was so tired that I could only sigh.
Ji Gong Xin said,"Those who understand your heartache will definitely feel sorry for you." Follow me.
Lu Jiao was stunned by Si Wuchen's beauty and didn't know how she left the Si Family. He watched her bloom, warming the entire spring, enchanting the spring, and charming himself and others. It was just that when she lowered her eyebrows, it meant that there was no need for the spring breeze to be gentle.?Even the spring breeze could not compare to her, and even the spring scenery could not compare to her.
Village Chief asked,"Is it beautiful?"
Lu Jiao said,"She's so beautiful that there's nowhere to hide." It was really like the water and soil of a certain place nurtured a certain person. She was so beautiful that she was not human.
When the village chief heard this, he said,"Ah!"
Lu Jiao quickly smiled and said,"Yes." The beauty was peerless and independent, as beautiful as a fairy descending to the mortal world.
The village chief heard that there was a chance and asked,"Good niece, how much do you think she can be sold for?"
Lu Jiao said: Beauty is priceless.
The village chief said,"Her Si family needs money."
Lu Jiao said,"If she were to judge others according to their prices, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to exchange a few cities for her, and a country would not be squandered by her."
The village chief asked,"Are you saying that she can topple cities and countries?"
Lu Jiao said,"That's right."
The village chief was so happy that he almost clapped his hands and said, If that was the case, I, no, we, were rich.
Lu Jiao said,"If it was in the past, you could say so." Now, he could not say that.
The village chief asked,"What do you mean?"
Lu Jiao said: The monarch is filial to the royal family of Zhou, it can be said that he has done everything, resulting in the current state treasury empty. When the Zhou royal family offered sacrifices to their ancestors, the king had offered many treasures and beautiful women, but they were still not welcomed. Another reason was that beautiful women were not as good as they wanted, so Bao Kingdom had always been recruiting beautiful women.
The village chief said,"If I can't get a lot of gold and silver, why should I give the beauty to the monarch?" It was better to offer it directly to the Zhou royal family and get more rewards.
Lu Jiao said, Uncle, you're wrong.
The village chief asked,"What's wrong?"
After all, Lu Jiao was educated by the palace rules of Bao Kingdom, so she said," You are a citizen of the Kingdom of Bao, don't you have any sense of love for your country? When the country is in danger, you still ignore the country for a small profit? Without a country, how could there be a home? "The country is about to fall, and the capital regions are being plundered. If we become slaves of a conquered country, it will be an even more tragic world. To think that you're the village chief. You eat public food and don't think about serving the country. Moreover, this beauty isn't even your family member, and you still want to borrow her to make a fortune.
When the village chief heard this, he knew that his niece had been brainwashed and was not to be trifled with. He smiled and said, After all, my niece Lu Jiao is from the palace, so her education is different. Uncle was just joking with you just now. Don't take it seriously.
Lu Jiao said,"Even if I give you a lot of money, do you still want to live?" In this day and age, countless people had lost their lives for money.
"How can I complain about having too much money? If you think you have too much money, then you'll be a slave for the rest of your life. Do you know that I won't be able to take it just by looking at the money?”The village chief thought to himself, but he smiled and said,"Uncle is a person who eats public grain. How can his thinking not improve?" Otherwise, I wouldn't have been the village chief for nothing.
Lu Jiao said,"It's good that Uncle has a heart to serve the country." When I return to the palace, I will inform the Empress Dowager and try my best to fight for you.
Ji Gongyou said to Si Wuchen,"You'll make a mistake if you judge people with your eyes." Therefore, what you see as good might not necessarily be good. It's time for you to let go and make another choice. Come with me. I'm willing to do anything for you. I traced the source of the river, lit up a star, and rewarded you with peerless beauty.
Si Wuchen didn't seem to have heard Ji Gongyou's words and continued," Look at that long love, infatuated with the wrong person, but at the beginning, the wrong heart was hated? But a fallen flower and a wound.
Ji Gong Xin listened to his words and thought,"She doesn't seem to listen to me now. She's still thinking about someone else." But you are my dream. I only have you in my life. I don't want to leave you for the rest of my life, do you know? I'm so anxious.
Si Wuchen said,"May the years be turned back, and we will grow old together with deep affection." Who knew that some vicissitudes of life lingered between his eyebrows, asking what new worries there were every year, and melancholy still remained.
Himiya Shura thought, You're like a star that lights up my heart. Since I passed by your heart, I have been fascinated. Without you in my world, my eyes are filled with desolation. In this life, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave you.
Si Wuchen said,"I only hope that your heart will be like mine, and I will not let you down." What a delicate affection, who knew it was deeply locked in the spring courtyard. My heart is tied to my whole life, and I have failed you with thousands of tears.
In her heart, she thought,"If I can be by your side, I will protect you from the killing rain and accompany you to see the prosperity of the world until there is no world like before." There was no other person who was willing. Just for your smile and glory, just for your elegance in this life, just for your prosperity, even if the mountains and rivers collapse and the bones turn into sand.
Si Wuchen seemed to have heard what Ji Gong You said again, so he asked," What are you talking about?
Ji Gongyou said,"I mean, just for you, I will fight with my sword to the end of the world, even if the mountains and rivers are stained with blood."
Hearing that, Si Wuchen said,'Is it really worth it for you to do this for me?
"It's really worth it," said Ji Gongyou.
Si Wuchen asked, Why?
Ji Gong Huan said," It's said that a beauty's eyes are filled with peaches. If I don't see her in this life, how regretful would that be?" The rest of my life without you is just a waste. Look at this green mountain, it is not as long as your eyebrows, this water is not as clear as your eyes, you are that world-toppling peach blossom. Seeing your dress fluttering in the wind, I was unable to extricate myself from your love, but it aroused a magnificent love for a lifetime. May my deep love warm your heart.
Si Wuchen smiled.
When Ji Gong saw this, he said,"Look at how beautiful your smile is." The landscape was like a painting, and this smile could topple a country. She was as beautiful as a flower without makeup and lived up to this prosperity. Even if it was barren, you were still the most beautiful flower. Just for your smile, I hope you are like the moon and I am like the stars, bright and clear every night.
Si Wuchen said with a smile," I'm not as good as you said." I am used to your words, for I hear them everywhere.
"They say these words, but they don't really put them into practice. They don't even really know how to love," said Ji Gong. I'm different. When I see you, I reward you, love you, and treat you with my heart.
Hearing that, Si Wuchen asked with a smile," How did you use your experience?
Ji Gong said," I saw you walking slowly, but it was like an ink painting that was slowly opened. Look at the buildings nearby and the mountains in the distance. There are so many beautiful mountains and rivers, but they can't compare to you." Looking at the scenery, I became intoxicated, but you unknowingly entered the painting and became the scenery in the painting. The flowers are getting mesmerizing, why are you the only one? The spring light is collected, and the feelings are still moving.
Hearing this, Si Wuchen said," As you said, I am the mountains and rivers, and the mountains and rivers are like me." Am I really that good? Why didn't I realize that I was so beautiful?
Ji Gong said,"Maybe it's because you're too involved."
Si Wuchen said," Can you tell me about my good technique?"
"Of course I can," said Ji Gongyou. Look at you: the water is the eye wave, the mountain is the eyebrow peak. Looking at your beautiful eyebrows, I can see that your eyebrows are beautiful, your eyebrows are beautiful, and your eyes are smiling.
Hearing that, Si Wuchen turned around and left.
"Miss Si, where are you going?" Ji Gong Hua asked anxiously. I have crossed mountains and rivers and come for you. I am sure that I will only have you in my life.
Si Wuchen smiled and flew away.
When Ji Gongyou saw this, she quickly chased after him, but she was pulled awake by someone. It was a dream.
Breakpoint had been waiting beside Ji Gong Huan the whole time, and seeing the excitement in Ji Gong Huan's heart, he woke her up and asked," Your Highness, are you dreaming again?
Ji Gong Xin complained,"Why did you ruin my good dream?" It's you who breaks my dreams.
When Chai Hao heard this, she smiled cheekily and said, Your Highness, what good dream did you have? Tell me.
Ji Gong took out a piece of firewood and said,"How can I bring you to have a good dream?"
Chai Hao made a face and said,"Yes!" Good dreams were not meant to be listened to. He must have been on a date with that beauty in his dream, and that beauty was
Ji Gong said with a smile,"You're so smart." That's right! my dream
Lu Jiao returned to the old empress dowager's side and told her the truth about Si Wuchen.
After hearing that Si Wuchen was really a beauty, the old empress dowager was willing to pay 100 gold shells to buy him as a slave. However, he had to bring someone to meet him first. If it was a beauty, then he could pay.
Lu Jiao then left the palace to meet her Uncle Village Chief and then went to the Si family.
The old lady of the Si Clan had been in better health recently and could walk. When she saw the palace maid Lu Jiao and the village chief from the Jun residence, she quickly ordered Madam Zhang to serve tea and asked with a smile," Did you guys come because my daughter's matter has been settled?
Lu Jiao was afraid that Uncle Village Chief would say something bad, so she stopped him and said, Oh! It was like this. My master doesn't believe our servants 'words completely. He said that he would pay after seeing the person. My master said that if you really catch her eye, she will definitely not treat you unfairly.
When the old lady heard this, she said,"Your master didn't give an explanation?" such as
Lu Jiao said,"I understand what the old lady means." Don't worry about this. My master is the Empress Dowager. She won't be stingy. Don't worry about this.
When the old lady heard this, she smiled and said, I understand this. Your master is rich and imposing, so he naturally won't be stingy with anything. However, I'll have to trouble you and the village chief for this matter. If it's done, I won't mistreat your labor.
The village chief smiled and said," The old lady is also a person who has a say in the village. She never owes anyone anything. She will definitely do what she says. Naturally, she won't forget our benefits."
The old lady said,"Of course." I've bothered you with your labor, so how can I treat you unfairly? In this world, one had to have at least some integrity. Don't worry, I won't mistreat you. Otherwise, I won't be able to see anyone in this world.
Lu Jiao said,"Well, there's no need to say this." Then when will the old lady let Miss Si follow me into the king's manor?
The old lady said,"I don't know when my daughter will be able to see the higher-ups after she leaves." At least let me make a few beautiful clothes for her, right? At least we can give her a way to remember us.
Lu Jiao said,"That's not necessary." As long as she went to the monarch's manor, all her clothes would be made by the monarch's manor. Just like me, none of my clothes are my own. In the past, people would not let me wear my own clothes. Moreover, the Jun Residence was all dressed in the same uniform, and they were so particular that they did not have their own ideas.
The old lady smiled and said,"Yes, big families pay attention to rules." Naturally, he would be controlled by others if he ate and drank other people's food. Even his life was not his. My daughter is also a person with a bitter life. Every day we watch over her is a day less. I'm afraid we won't even be able to see her in the future. Can we
Lu Jiao listened and saw that the old lady was still reluctant to part with her tears. She could understand her mood and said,"Then give me another two days." It's just that I have a lot of things to do. It's not easy to come here. The Empress Dowager can't leave me to take care of her.
When the old lady heard that there was hope, she smiled and said, Yes, the lady was the Empress Dowager's subordinate, so she was naturally extremely busy. Two days later, I will let my daughter enter the city.
Lu Jiao said,"That's good." I'll go back and instruct the guards to look after the city gates, then you can go straight in. As for the money, the old lady could rest assured and give it to anyone she saw. As for how much, I don't have the final say. It depends on the Empress Dowager.
When the old lady heard this, she said,"I think you're also an honest person. Don't you believe me?"
Lu Jiao said,"Alright, I'll go back now." However, you have to go two days later, okay? Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, I have to go. Otherwise, I won't be able to explain it to the Empress Dowager.
The old lady said," Don't worry about that. People speak human words and won't go back on their words."
Village Chief followed Lu Jiao out. Seeing that there was no one around, he said, Niece, when the time comes, you have to give me the money, okay?
Lu Jiao said,"I know."
The village chief said,"Then you said you wanted to give the money to me?"
Lu Jiao said,"I just said that. I didn't really want to give her one." If we didn't say that, would they be so straightforward with us?
Village Chief said,"That's true." Yes, if we give the money directly to them, how will we get a share?
Lu Jiao listened and said,"Speaking of sharing, I have to say it." You're my uncle, and I won't lie in front of you. This time, the empress dowager wants to give 100 gold shells. How do you think we should split it?
"Wow! 100 gold shells?”The village chief listened to what was in his heart and said, Niece, what do you think?
Lu Jiao said,"I have put in a lot of good words in front of the Empress Dowager. I have spent a lot of effort and wasted a lot of words."
The village chief listened to what was in his heart,"What did you mean by wasting a lot of energy and words?" I only asked you to talk about this matter. I didn't force you to do anything. If this Miss Si wasn't beautiful enough, how could she have been accomplished with just a few words from you? It's just that this Miss Si is too beautiful that you don't have to put in any effort to please her.
Lu Jiao said," I don't care. I'll get 50 gold shells. You can do whatever you want with the rest."
