Raiders of the favorite concubine of Qing Dynasty

Chapter 29 Self-knowledge
I stared at Fulin, paying attention to every change in his expression. Even though he was thoughtful, he might not be able to maintain his rationality in this situation. Besides, he probably never dreamed that I would plot against him.Seeing that he didn't say a word, but the flashing eyes made me seem to grasp something.A wave of uneasiness surged in my heart. I never thought about this possibility before because ituma Linxi did lose his life because of rescuing him. If it was an arrangement with ulterior motives, then the injury must be seemingly serious, but his life is safe. But in the eyes of others, I seemed to be like this, a drop of cold sweat slipped into the skirt of my clothes.

"Memory is really strange. I forgot everything before, but I still remember the books I read before. I think I must love reading." When I said this, I glanced at Fulin, and his expression seemed to have heard What I already knew, I suppressed my uneasiness, fearing that a little unnaturalness would not hide from his treacherous eyes, I followed the river lantern and looked towards the end of the lake, "I am willing to stay in Wutai Mountain to pray for the Qing Dynasty and my master, but The servant girl is also selfish, I will also beg the Lord Buddha to bless Yun Cai and Laner when I have free time, I don’t know if I still have such caring friends in the past, I also want to beg the Lord Buddha together..." Speaking of which, I The voice faded, and I was afraid that I would vomit if I continued speaking. Sure enough, the affectionate heroine is not something that can be imitated casually.

After a while, when I had given up on the cliché from Fulin, he said leisurely, "Apart from Mrs. Bai Jia from the Imperial Study Room, you and Mrs. Na Tara who is playing with flowers and plants in the Imperial Garden are fairly close."

Grandma, even this has been investigated clearly, I am sure that I must be locked as a suspect.This is really difficult.Employers don’t doubt people, others don’t. It seems that Fulin is very kind to keep me now. The future is difficult.

I hummed absent-mindedly, looked at the "Manjianghong" in front of me, but my mind was not calm, how long would it take to reach Mount Wutai, and what could I do in these limited days.The unreasonable self-confidence just disappeared, and I was a little overwhelmed by the difficulties of reality.I can't comfort myself that the boat will go straight when it reaches the bridge, and I just wait for God's arrangement without doing anything. All I wait for is God's trick.I grimaced, this kind of situation that I couldn't control at all made me very uncomfortable and insecure.

As the night darkened, the people who set off the river lanterns gradually dispersed, and we returned to the city.There is only one inn in the entire Chengde Mansion, and we had no choice but to enter this "Follow the Fate" inn.Because today is a rare holiday, the guys are all going home for the holiday, so the shopkeeper can only cook a few bowls of noodles to fill our stomachs.The behavior of saving food in the middle of the night made me feel a deep sense of guilt, because tomorrow I have to rush on my way, and I went back to my room after eating.

Compared with those inns I stayed in before, this "Follow the Fate" can be called simple, and you can hear the creaking sound of the wooden boards when you climb up the stairs.The room is also small, and it seems a bit crowded to walk alone after setting up a bed and table, but I actually think this is the reality. The days before were like floating on the clouds, too high to feel down-to-earth .

The second day I woke up early, the real old wooden bed made me sore all over, it seems that my body has long been used to a comfortable and rich life.I never treat myself materially badly, and I don’t want to pretend to be noble and not enjoy material abundance. Who doesn’t want a rich life?

Because of the behavior of hoarding food last night, I simply drank a bowl of porridge with side dishes in the morning. I guessed that it was just after Mao, and I took a breath and wiped the teardrops from the corners of my eyes with my hands.I didn't see Fulin, Qin Yu, etc., and the inn looked very deserted. I thought it would be good to go for a walk outside in the early morning to catch an early market.

As soon as he arrived at the door, he ran into Tang Wancheng, who seemed to have come back from a walk.After yesterday's sober self-awareness, even if he doesn't like his style, the obvious hostility has been reduced a lot. Among this group of people, maybe his situation is the closest to mine, and he can be regarded as the same person who has fallen into the world.

"I didn't expect you to wake up so early?" Tang Wancheng greeted me without prejudice, still smiling slyly.

"Aren't you too?" His smile was still ostentatious, but it was not so glaring in my eyes. In fact, despite some prejudices, he still took care of me along the way.

"Here, I bought it at the market in the morning. It's very effective for back pain. If you buy too much, you won't be able to use it up anyway." Tang Wancheng handed me a bottle of gourd-shaped medicinal wine, "Don't thank me too much, haha .” Unsurprisingly, the ending fits his frivolity very well.

"Thank you." I smiled at him, probably because I was used to being disgusted by me, but the sudden gentle attitude surprised him. I saw that he was obviously stunned, so I walked past him and walked out.

It was getting late yesterday and it was too late to take a closer look at the entire appearance of Chengde Mansion. Looking at it now, the small town of these dozens of families looks extraordinarily warm.I thought I woke up early, but I just caught up with the evening market. The market here is not as comprehensive as Li Tai, just some ordinary small shops selling fish, meat and vegetables. There is only one cloth store and jewelry store in the whole city.

"My lord, are you still used to staying here?" Chengde Mansion is indeed very small, and I saw the little brother yesterday after just walking around.

"Coincidentally, we met again. Yesterday was really thanks to you, little brother." I really couldn't think of any words of greeting, and my words were dry.

"Chengde Mansion is such a big place, it's a surprise if you can't come across it." The younger brother was straightforward and not afraid of showing off, so he led me along the way and introduced it.

According to my younger brother, Chengde Mansion has a small population, only about [-] households in total.Because there are not many outsiders, there is only one inn in the whole small town, and there are not many lodging guests on weekdays. Most of them are people who have some happy event and go to the inn to set up a few tables of banquets to entertain the people of the city.The main source of income for Chengde Mansion is to rely on the mountains to eat the mountains. In each season, there will be corresponding specialties such as chestnuts, dabian, mushrooms, bracken, and homemade hazelnut jam and pastries. The income is still considerable when sold to nearby counties.

"Hey, speaking of which, I don't see any pawnshops, silver banks, or rice shops here..." Before I could fully express my doubts, the little brother smiled and said, "Young master, we are so big here. Where is the place, where is it needed? We earn small money, and there is no money here for pawnshops. As for rice, every household here can grow rice, and there is no need to buy it. What you said is all It is only available in big counties.”

I followed my brother's introduction, but I bought a few local specialties with enthusiasm, and soon the market was over. I took a bunch of things and went back to the inn without the strength to go on.

"I've bought too much, I'll give it to you, thank you." I stuffed a large pile of things in my arms into Tang Wancheng's arms intact, which is considered a courtesy.

I glanced lightly at the lobby, Qin Yu and the others looked ready to go, and Fulin's face was somewhat gloomy, I wondered if I would be the only one waiting?Then I thought about it, this Chengde mansion is not as big as the Imperial Garden. If I was really in a hurry, I would have sent someone to find me. Besides, Fulin's hidden guards were so strong that I was probably being monitored in all directions except in the latrine. Thinking about it, I felt a lot more relieved, anyway, I didn't provoke him.
