"Tenth Senior Brother, you don't need to say anymore. I will never dare to bear your affection. I will only marry Xue Ming in this life. You and I have different ways and will not conspire against each other. You will go down the mountain in the future, and I will say goodbye here first, Junior Sister!
"
After saying that, I flicked my sleeves and stood up angrily.
After dinner, I went to the Hermitage Room to deliver some steamed cheese with sugar to Master. There seemed to be other people in the room, so I stood on the porch for a while.
There are old trees that block my figure, but they cannot block the conversations of the people inside the house.
"...Xiao Shi'er, last autumn, I left you alone on the mountain. Do you know why?" The master's voice seemed to contain a hint of regret.
"Master wants to bring his disciple's attainments in calligraphy to a higher level."
Is it the tenth senior brother? His voice has become so hoarse?
"Alas, my teacher originally wanted you to understand your thoughts about Twelve, but it didn't work out...sigh..."
I was shocked. It turned out that Master had already noticed that Senior Brother Ten had some undue thoughts towards me?
"Master, why can Xue Ming like little junior sister, but I can't?" The tenth senior brother's tone was very unfair.
The master seemed to sigh, "You and Xiao Jiu'er and Shiyi have the same sect, but have you ever regarded them as brothers?"
The tenth senior brother seemed not to answer.
"... Although love doesn't come first, it does require mutual consent. Since Twelve has no intention of you, you can either forget about her and go find a beautiful woman, or you can hide your thoughts and protect her secretly.
You are obsessed with her, but what about you? But you tried to find a way to get your sister up the mountain with the intention of breaking up the two of them. They are deeply in love, you saw it with your own eyes...
"Since you admire her, you should think about making her happy. Twelve never said anything, but she is not happy about this..."
My eyes turned red, I took the cheese and quietly left the Hermitage Room.
The evening breeze is warm, but my heart feels cold.
I packed up and carefully wrapped up the longevity thread and white jade pen that my tenth senior brother gave me. Alas, I'd better return these things to him!
Senior Brother Xiaobai saw it and simply said, "That's fine."
I thought about it and finally couldn't help but said, "Senior brother, the tenth senior brother said that he wants to send Shang Yi to the palace..."
Senior Brother Xiaobai leaned back on the couch, flipped through "Tai Gong's Art of War" leisurely, and said, "Oh."
Shang Yi was almost becoming his stepmother, how could he still be so calm? I snatched the book from his hand and said anxiously: "Brother, the Cui family wants to marry Shang Yi to...
Your father!"
Senior Brother Xiaobai hugged me tightly and said: "Rong'er, don't worry, Shang Yi... I'm afraid it won't be that easy for Shang Yi to enter the palace... Firstly, there are Ninth Senior Brother, the Zhao family will try their best to obstruct it, and secondly, Father Huang
The mother and queen are very affectionate, and my father has never had a concubine in these many years..."
I felt relieved. Once I entered the palace gate, it was as deep as the sea. Many young women have wasted their lives in the high walls of the deep palace. I didn't want Shang Yi to also enter that high wall and waste her youth in vain.
Early the next morning.
The mountain gate.
There was a slight drizzle in the sky.
The tenth senior brother looked very haggard. I sighed and handed him the two brocade boxes, "The tenth senior brother I am familiar with is kind and considerate. Now that he is no longer here, I will leave these things to you."
The tenth senior brother's eyes turned red and he murmured to me: "Little junior sister..."
Although I couldn't bear it, I still smiled slightly and turned around gracefully. From then on, he and I were strangers.
Over there, Brother Ninth gently stroked Shang Yi's hair, "I heard that a flower picker came down the mountain recently. Girl, you are so beautiful. I was very worried, so I sent a few people to escort you back.
