Chapter 21: Ugly, not allowed to eat meat
Wu Dabo ran out and said, “Little master broke her foot, my girl is helping her to compress it. She said that she only wants to see her elder brother, you are not allowed to hit anyone.”
The crowd had already heard the voice of the dieting little master, so they all stood down.
A male in fancy clothes immediately said, “I’ll go see my little sister, you guys go wait in the outer courtyard.”
The man who entered the house with Wu Bo was in his early twenties, long and elegant in his reserve. Dressed in a lake blue long shirt with a jade belt around his waist and a gold crown for his hair, he held an unopened folding fan in his hand. Because of anxious face red as rouge, nose also emerges dense beads of sweat.
Jiang Yishi in his previous life had seen this person from afar, is the son of Yong Wang Li Kai, Li Zhenbao’s brother. In his past life and this life, there is no intersection of people, today actually came to her family manor.
Li Kai saw the nose are crying red sister heartache bad, a few steps over the front said, “Zhen Bao, broken foot pain? Look, look, who let you run around, feet swollen into this ……”
Li Zhenbao cried, “It is not forced by you. I don’t want to be a bald lady, I don’t want to stay in the temple, I really don’t want to live. Thinking of running out to see what Jin and Chao look like, eat some more meat, and then wait for death.”
Li Kai sat down next to Li Zhenbao and said with a bitter face, “Master Yu He said that people have reincarnation karma, and that my sister can’t eat meat in this life after eating meat for two lifetimes in her previous life.”
“But I want to eat meat …….”
“For the sake of living, sister just endure it. In this world, there are many delicacies besides meat. Father said that he will find a few more cooks who can cook vegetarian food to come over, and will surely satisfy sister. If Father King saw your foot fall like this, how sad he would be.”
Li Zhenbao sobbed, “He wouldn’t be sad, he took his daughter-in-law and ran away, leaving me alone, and still said he was heartbroken, his heart is so cruel ……”
“You are father’s pearl in the palm of his hand, anyone knows that, how do you ……”
Li Zhenbao stopped crying, glared at Li Kai and screamed shrilly, “I am not the pearl, the pearl is beautiful and bright, but I look this ugly. Why do I look this ugly?
“All seven of your brothers, no matter if they are first born or second born, all of them are good looking, all of them have white skin, double eyelids, and high nose beams. He is patriarchal, deliberately …… I’m going to collapse, do not want to live ……”
Li Zhenbao got sadder and sadder as she spoke, tilting her head and closing her eyes to cry. Tears rolled down in large balls, her mouth opened wide, and the tongue in her mouth was clearly visible.
Li Kai anxiously scratched his ears, his sister is well and suddenly became smart is a good thing, but often say some inexplicable and unreasonable words, choking people unbearable.
He coaxed in a gentle voice, “Who said my sister is ugly? Brother beat him up. Good boy, Zhenbao looks handsome …….”
Li Zhenbao choked, “Ugly is ugly, you have to say nonsense blind me, really think I’m a fool ah, not to be so bullying ……”
“No no, brother which shed bully sister. That, it is said that the female big eighteen changes, the younger sister is only twelve years old ……”
“Billet there, you think the ugly duckling can really become a white swan ah, coaxing ghost. Oooooooo …… ugly on the ugly some right, favor to send me alone into the nunnery, can not eat meat, can not eat more, up a legal name but also called ‘dieting’.
“Spiritual material double blow, this is not trying to screw me is what. Other people wear is white rich beauty, hanging sky, how I am so miserable. I don’t want to live, I want to see the ancient times before I die, and then eat a big elbow that I’ve been craving for a long time, so I’ll kill myself ……”
Li Kai has already gotten used to his sister’s wordiness and persuaded, “Wearing hair and practicing will not last a lifetime, my sister will be able to return to secularism when she is completely well. As for the matter of eating meat, sister just listen to the advice. Really, Yu and master said, sister can not eat meat in this life, eat meat will be ……”
“will” what he held back not to say.
Persuade is the same as not persuade, said is the same as not said. Li Zhenbao’s voice again howled a few points, repeatedly said “collapse”.
Li Kai face sadness, while using a handkerchief to wipe her sister’s tears and snot, while whispering words of persuasion. Those words were so pale and weak that Li Zhenbao could not listen to them.
The more Li Zhenbao talked, the angrier she got, from time to time she stomped on her right leg and inadvertently moved her left leg, the stinging pain made her choke her cries into her throat and screamed out, “It hurts, it hurts, my foot hurts.”
Li Kai then realized that they were the only two siblings left in the house, everyone else had gone out.
He pressed down on Li Zhenbao’s left leg, “Sister don’t move.” Raising his voice again, he said, “Someone come.”
Jiang Yishi walked in through the door. Those words were inconvenient for them to hear, and it was hard to endure the laughter, so they could only go out. She didn’t dare to go far, and stood outside the door all the time, but she still heard their conversation.
She walked over and said, “Little Master don’t move.” And said to Li Kai, “Don’t irritate her anymore.”
She removed the hankie from Li Zhenbao’s ankle and re-wetted and wrung it out in the copper basin before hitching it up.
Li Zhenbao’s voice calmed down, and with tears in her eyes, she said, “Brother, I really don’t want to go back to the nunnery, I don’t want to be a bald lady. I have the same dream every day, the exterminator lady shaved all my hair, my head became a big bald ladybird, even uglier ……”
Li Kai said, “Don’t worry, they won’t give you a hair fall, this was said long ago. Our mansion gives Zhaomingan a good amount of offering silver every year, they don’t dare to disobey father’s words, not to mention that master Yu He has also delivered.”
Li Zhenbao shook his head, infinitely sad, “But what’s the use of keeping your hair, can’t get married, can’t find a man ……”
Li Kai choked and coughed violently a few times, busy hand clenched into a fist against his lips, looked at Jiang Yishi, lowered his voice and said, “Sister, this …… thing you are still small, let’s say it alone later.”
“I want to say now.”
“Sister don’t be anxious, when you get well and return to secularism, you will be able to marry.”
Li Zhenbao shed tears and said, “What’s the use of returning to secularism, I’m not pretty, no man will like an ugly woman. Don’t think I don’t know, you men just love to look at faces, Father King has found vixen after vixen, you can’t take your eyes off of pretty girls when you see them. And Royal Uncle, which woman you find is not pretty? I’m so ugly, a man wouldn’t want to take a second look. Wooooooo……”
Li Kai opened his fan with a swish, and said with great vigor, “How can that be, who is our family, which ungrateful person dares to dislike you, I won’t be able to kill him.”
Li Zhenbao murmured, “The strong twisted claw is not sweet, I don’t want to dominate, I want to be in love …….”
Li Kai reasoned, his jaw dropped, his mind couldn’t keep up, and he wanted to stand up and storm off.
Jiang Yishi’s gentle voice rang out, “Junior Master, forgive me for saying more.”
Li Zhenbao and Li Kai both looked at Jiang Yishi.
“You say.”
“Please speak.”
