When people are extremely disbelieving, they will have a dizzy feeling close to dreaming.
It felt like the world was spinning, and like stepping on cotton, even the light and shadow in front of me gradually became gray.
And Jiang Sheng has had many such moments.
When her eldest brother was busy in the Hanlin Academy, her third brother was fighting a bloody battle on the border, her second brother was traveling abroad, and her fourth and fifth brothers were trapped in the palace, she would always be distracted holding Jiuzhenfang's account book.
Life is so good now. She has no shortage of food and clothing. She has a father and a grandmother. She is no longer the little beggar who hates people and hates dogs. She doesn't have to crawl around in embarrassment in hunger and cold.
The sufferings of the past faded over the years, and in a daze she even doubted whether she had ever met her five brothers.
Those days when brothers and sisters supported each other, the ups and downs they experienced together turned into bubbles in the day after day of missing each other, and they were ready to fly away.
Jiang Sheng came back to his senses and broke out in a cold sweat.
If the price of wealth is losing her brothers, then she would rather go back to the past and live a precarious life with hardship.
However, longing is like this, the more longing, the more confused, the more expectant, the more blurred.
Until that person appears alive.
Jiang Sheng's sense of dreaming reached its peak at this moment. The corners of her mouth curved down like she had done countless nights, the tip of her nose and throat were numb at the same time, and tears welled up uncontrollably.
Is it true or false?
Is it reality or a dream?
Her thoughts went back and forth, but it turned out that her fear of loss was greater than her expectations, and the surrounding scene was distorted. The only thing she could hold on to was the hem of the clothes of the people around her.
"Second brother, I'm dreaming again. I dreamed that fifth brother came home. I can't tell whether it's true or not..."
She babbled as much as possible, as if she was terrified and uneasy.
When the real friction of the fabric came, Jiang Sheng realized that this was not a dream.
The distorted scene gradually recovered, the noisy and buzzing sounds disappeared, and the lively and fragrant courtyard spread out in my mind.
Along with it, there was a familiar whimper.
"Woo woo woo, woo woo... woo woo Xiao Wu... this is not a dream, this is real." Zheng Ruqian grinned and howled, "Xiao Wu is really back, Jiang Sheng, wake up, this is not a dream."
This is really not a dream.
Jiang Sheng suddenly raised his head, staring straight ahead with his big eyes. The boy, who could not tell the difference between male and female, had become more handsome with age, but he was still so beautiful that he overshadowed everyone around him.
It's him, it's him, it's really him.
"Fifth brother!" Jiang Sheng shouted heartbreakingly, opened his arms and rushed forward.
But there was someone faster than her.
The tall and strong Mr. Zheng pushed his sister away with his buttocks and rushed over to hug Chang Yan. His tears and tears burst out at the same time, "You heartless man, you still know that when you come back, have you forgotten us? Every day With all the good clothes and fine food, we have forgotten those of us who are living a hard life outside."
"You've met the eldest brother, you've met the younger sister, you've met the younger brother. Why did you miss the second brother? Doesn't the second brother miss you? Doesn't the second brother not kiss you?"
"You have no conscience, you are just a little heartless."
He cried and cursed at the same time, and did not forget to cover his tears with a handkerchief, so as not to dirty his brother's luxurious clothes.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Jiang Sheng's sadness was washed away to the horizon, which was funny and helpless.
But if you think about it carefully, Zheng Ruqian and Fang Heng are indeed the only two people who have never seen the banquet since Aunt Zhang's wedding. Fang Heng can't be seen in the border area. Zheng Ruqian is left to wait and see, but he has always I can't wait for my brother.
In the emotional world of six brothers and sisters, there are not only brothers and sisters, but also brothers and brothers.
Just like now when he saw his second brother holding his fifth brother, Wen Zhiyun couldn't help but whisper, "Second brother, don't you miss me?"
"Think about it, both of them are heartless, they want both." Zheng Ruqian finally stopped crying and hugged his fourth brother with his left arm.
One is tall but somewhat strong, while the other two are thin but appear to be thin.
It was so harmonious and warm to be snuggled together at this moment.
If they didn't look back and see the teapot spirit.
"You guys have a deep love for each other as brothers. I'll go to the corner." Jiang Sheng put his hands on his hips, "Fourth brother and fifth brother finally came back. Second brother, why do you tease me?"
"I was in a hurry just now." Zheng Ruqian argued, "Who told you that you are not as tall and strong as me? You will have to eat a few more elbows next time."
Jiang Sheng's eyes grew bigger and bigger.
Seeing that the brother and sister were about to get into trouble again, Chang Yan quickly smoothed things over, "Don't worry, we will see each other often in the future."
Now it was Jiang Sheng and Zheng Ruqian's turn to look at each other.
One raised an eyebrow in confusion.
A worried frown.
Before their thoughts became twisted, Wen Zhiyun quickly said, "He was not kicked out, nor was he deprived of his identity. Xiao Wu will be free from now on, and there is no need to hide anymore."
The powerless fifth prince has to hide in the palace, while the powerful prince can come and go as he pleases.
Those hidden relationships and those who care about can finally be brought under his wings.
It sounds good, but who still remembers the leisurely and comfortable way he used to carve wood, the freedom and joy when he stretched out his hand to touch the wind, and the hope and expectation when he looked into the distance.
Carrying his mother's expectations, he should have been flying freely in the distance, but instead he was stuck in this thick quagmire.
Is he really happy?
Jiang Sheng didn't know and couldn't ask.
Now that the matter is over, let’s talk about what use these things have and how they can change the status quo.
Immature people will open other people's wounds after the outcome is finalized.
No matter how sad Jiang Sheng felt, he had to put on a smile and rush over, take the hands of his two brothers, and say coquettishly to his aunt, "Aunt, aunt, aunt, fourth brother and fifth brother want to eat big elbows."
"I think you want to eat it." Zhang Xianglian wiped away tears from the corners of her eyes, "I know the dishes that Zhiyun and Chang Yan like, so I'm going to prepare them."
Anyway, just go home.
The small courtyard that had been dormant for a while came alive again, with smoke drifting into the distance along with the aroma. Big elbows and small stir-fry dishes were brought to the table in order, as well as the new pastries from Jiuzhenfang and the most delicious mutton from Baiweisheng.
The family members who had been absent for a long time gathered around the round table again, smiling and holding the bowls and spoons.
"Brother, won't you come back for dinner?" Wen Zhiyun looked around and asked in a low voice.
It seems that Xiaosi also misses his eldest brother.
Zheng Ruqian was serving food but did not come over. Chang Yan explained with a smile, "The Hanlin Academy provides lunch. Officials who are too busy will choose to eat on the spot in order to finish their work early."
The laws of the Dayu Dynasty were comprehensive, and officials not only had a lot of time, but were also punished and had their salaries deducted if they were late.
Also in order to prevent the corpses from sitting idle, each official needs to complete different tasks every day. If he cannot complete them, he will have to extend the time to return home, which is the so-called scattered value.
That's all, the officials of Jinluan Palace are the hardest working.
According to the instructions of the ancestors, ministers could not keep the emperor waiting, so they had to wash up and go out at an earlier time. It was common to be in the dark in winter.
In comparison, Xu Mo had an easy time in the Hanlin Academy.
It's just that this relaxation may not last long.
Chang Yan retracted his thoughts and pretended to mention it casually, "I just heard you talking about a wedding banquet outside the door. Who wants to hold a wedding banquet?"
