Chapter Forty
Umaru smiled and said: "Okay, we have known each other for so long, why do we need to act like this? Just accept it."
Little Eunuch Meng accepted it with a smile and said a few more auspicious words.
Uma Lu said: "Okay, okay, you are busy with your work, I won't keep you."
Young Eunuch Meng nodded and saluted, and left with the other young eunuchs.
Umaru kept some of the dishes, and gave the rest to Yin Shuang'er and Shi Xiaoxiao.
Umaru looked at the weather and said, "You go down, you don't have to wait on me today."
The two smiled and saluted: "Thank you, Master."
Tonight is New Year's Eve. According to the rules, after the emperor and the others finish the banquet, they will watch the fireworks on the city wall.
Colorful and dazzling.
Yin Shuang'er asked again: "Master, won't you go?"
"I won't go."
Shi Xiaoxiao pulled her, Yin Shuang'er swallowed her words, and the two of them retreated out together.
Umaru finished his meal by himself and read "Journey to the West".
Yin Shuang'er knocked on the door and walked in: "I will light a candle for my master."
"I'm determined."
Umaru waited for her to finish lighting the candle and waved to her.
Yin Shuang'er approached, and Umalu took out his hairpin and inserted it into her bun. He then handed her the key at hand and said, "You take forty taels from my box. You and Xiaoxiao each have twenty taels."
Two, this is your blackmail money."
Yin Shuang'er smiled and said: "The master gave the slave a hairpin, and the slave took twenty taels and gave it to Xiaoxiao."
Umaru smiled: "You are serious."
She said: "You are still children, accept it so that the next year will be safe and sound."
She touched Yin Shuang'er's temples. Under the candlelight, her expression was peaceful and her face was compassionate.
Yin Shuang'er's nose felt sore and she almost cried. She blinked her eyes quickly and forced back the tears.
Yin Shuang'er lowered his head and cried: "Yes."
She opened Umaru's box, took out forty taels, gave it to Umaru for a while, and then put it away.
Umaru waved his hand and said: "Okay, it's not shameful to cry on this festive day. You go down and play."
Yin Shuang'er hummed, nodded and went out.
Shi Xiaoxiao was waiting under the eaves, freezing to death in the cold wind. When he saw her coming out, he couldn't help complaining: "She even told us not to come, but you insist on coming. I have never seen you like this, rushing to be a slave."
.”
Yin Shuang'er shook his head slightly, having a problem with her in his heart, but still pushed the twenty taels of silver in his hand: "This is what the master gave us."
Shi Xiaoxiao took it and looked at it, and said: "It's only twenty taels. She rewarded those eunuchs, and that's the price."
Yin Shuang'er felt really unhappy after hearing this, and reminded him: "If you talk about the master behind his back, you will have to pay for it with a few lives."
"If you don't tell me, if I don't tell you, who knows?" When Shi Xiaoxiao said this, he seemed to remember something, his eyes widened in disbelief, and said, "I entered the palace in the same year as you, and we were on duty together, and you actually want to
betray me."
Yin Shuang'er almost rolled his eyes when he heard this: "Sooner or later, you will be unlucky with this mouth."
She walked forward quickly.
Shi Xiaoxiao murmured in a low voice and followed.
In the harem, cups are being pushed and cups are being exchanged, and cups of wine are being exchanged.
Kangxi left the courtiers' banquet early, which made the ministers relax a little. It was also during this time that he asked Liang Jiugong to send those dishes to Umalu.
Liang Jiugong rarely left Kangxi's side, so naturally he asked young Eunuch Meng to take a few young eunuchs to see him off.
After Kangxi left, there was a family banquet. At the family banquet, there were all his own people, including the empress dowager, empress dowager, empress, concubines, and three sons and three daughters.
When Kangxi arrived, Baocheng finished the ceremony according to the rules and sat in his seat, with his grandmother taking care of him.
Kangxi saw him looking at him several times and called him over.
Baocheng whispered to him: "Royal father, why aren't you here?"
If she were here today, you wouldn't be able to see her often in the future.
Kangxi's heart.
He said: "When it's over, I'll take you to find her."
Baocheng then sat down to eat obediently.
The Empress Dowager saw it in her eyes and said nothing.
The Queen Mother looked at the delicacies on the table without even raising her eyelids.
The queen wanted to ask, but she thought about it and didn't say anything.
The three people with the largest proportion in the harem didn't say anything, and the other concubines naturally didn't intend to make themselves miserable.
After finishing the meal, Kangxi went out, followed by his concubines, behind the Baiguan Palace, and climbed the city wall together.
At this time, firecrackers blasted and fireworks bloomed.
Outside the Forbidden City, lanterns are decorated, cars are like flowing water, horses are like dragons, and BMWs are paved with carvings and incense.
Kangxi was condescending, and for a moment, his heart was full of pride.
He wants to stabilize the country, create peace for all ages, and govern a prosperous age.
Thousands of years later, when people talk about virtuous kings and sage kings, he will be mentioned.
Which man has never thought about being as famous as Emperor Qin and Emperor Wu of Han.
Become the emperor of eternity.
Even though he knew that there were no immortal people and no immortal country in this world, it did not detract from the pride he felt at this moment.
Umaru heard the sound of firecrackers, and took the cool charcoal she had picked up early from the charcoal basin in her hand. Under the candlelight, she wrote her own name word by word.
She can't write anything.
Whether it is things that will happen in the hereafter or pictures about the hereafter, they all come from Arabic numerals.
She couldn't write either.
Just because that's not what Uyamalu should know.
Therefore, Umaru naturally cannot be written.
She couldn't leave any holes.
She didn't know if these flaws would later turn into a knife that stabbed her.
She always had a faint hope in her heart, and she had been waiting for herself to find the bracelet that belonged to her. Therefore, before that, she would never die easily, and naturally she would not leave any clues.
But she missed that era too much.
That was the time when she was still herself.
She could only write her name one stroke at a time.
Umaru.
As she wrote, the rice paper was wet with tears.
She quickly wiped away her tears, put away the rice paper, threw the charcoal pens into the basin, washed her hands in the basin, and then poured the water into the gutter under the eaves.
After doing all this, she stood under the eaves, wrapped in a fox fur, watching the fireworks blooming in the sky.
Gorgeous and fragile.
She looked at it dreamily, as if she were watching a dream.
When the fireworks were completely broken, she stared at the five-color octagonal round lanterns hanging under the eaves for a while, then went into the house and closed the door.
At night, when she fell asleep, little Eunuch Meng knocked on the door first, and she opened it wearing a fox fur coat.
Little Eunuch Meng lowered his head and did not look at her, so as not to bump into her: "Auntie, get ready, the emperor is coming soon."
Umaru fell silent and moved away: "I have nothing to prepare here."
Young Meng Gongzheng said: "Then ask my aunt to stay away for a while."
Umaru retreated, got on the bed, and put down the bed curtains.
Little Eunuch Meng called the other eunuchs in, lit the candle, put on the newly burned charcoal basin, and placed on the table a plate of dried fruit preserves, a plate of side dishes, a soup, a porridge, and a pig
