Chapter 165: The Warmth of the Heart (I)
Autumn goes to winter, and the winter in the capital arrives in the fine snow, and then the earth is wrapped in a snowstorm full of silver and plain white. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Under the influence of the strong wind, the angular flying snow poured the biting chill into every corner without any intention of stopping, making the road less passing-by, and no one would want to go out in such weather unless necessary, even the crows hovering over the imperial city in the past are extremely difficult to see.
Prince Yong's mansion has long been lit with a melting charcoal fire, isolating the winter cold from the house, but no matter how strong the charcoal fire in the house is, it is difficult to warm the gradually cold heart.
Today's courtyard is no longer the place where it used to be a safe haven. Because of the two children Hongli and Hongday to take care of, the self in the courtyard and the mother-in-law, maidservant, and waiter around the Qian family are no longer the two or three people they once were. It's just that the more people there are, the more people need to be guarded against, even if they are not very close to the girl who is close to them. When the only person who can be trusted around him is Xiao Shunzi, this side of the shelter has become a corner of the battlefield without gunsmoke.
It is precisely because the children are growing up and seeing that the Kangxi Dynasty is beginning to go backwards, and his attitude towards the Qian family has begun to be more cautious intentionally or unintentionally. Even though it still seems that they are still as close and take care of each other as before, many of the secret operations are no longer related to the Qian family. Qian Xu felt my heart and caution everywhere, and also saw that I was becoming more and more cold and loved to be alone, but I was still worried about the person who was hiding in the dark, so I would not stay by my side all day long.
However, Hongli likes to be close to me, and often comes to me with Hongtian after school to review and ask for advice, and then pester me to say some interesting stories. And I also took advantage of this opportunity to make different subtle guidance for the personalities and different lives of the two children in the future. Every day, only at this time with the children, looking at their innocence and purity that has not been polluted by open and secret fighting, can the body and mind get real rare comfort and pleasure.
In fact, whether it is in my previous life or in this life, I have always been a very ordinary woman, without stunning looks and wisdom, nor do I like to expect and force too many unrealistic dreams, I never want to pursue a vigorous life, I just want to live a simple and peaceful life without waves. My biggest dream is to have a husband who cherishes me and my lovely children.
But fate is so wonderful, that I was unprepared for this inexplicable arrival in this dynasty that had long since become history, and inevitably became involved in meaningless disputes between women.
Looking back on the past, although those days were difficult, there was the warm care of the Geng family's parents around them, the sisterhood of Chun'er, and even when they first entered the mansion, they also had the strong kindness and weal and woe of Mama Pang, Yunhui, Wanqing and Xiaoshunzi, because of the existence of these people, even in the face of the difficulties of the Wulanala clan, the framed by the Li family and the calculation of the Song family still feel fulfilled and satisfied, and they can still smile and tell themselves "It's okay, I can".
I don't know when it started, and there are fewer and fewer pure and sincere feelings around me. Geng's parents are difficult to see, Mama Pang was sent away, Yunhui died because of me, Chun'er was betrayed and framed, and she left the house to marry in the evening...... There is also Aster, who once thought that this girl who was carefully trained by Wanqing and treated by herself sincerely would be a person who could be close and trusted by herself, but she didn't expect that she was just a pawn buried by someone with a heart around her, and even killed her own child who had not yet taken shape. As for Yinzhen, from the very beginning, I knew what his choice would be in the face of power and ****, so I believe in his sincerity to me, but I will not expect him to slow down for me, and many things still need to be faced and fought by myself.
If all I wanted in my previous life was a small happiness of being comfortable and old, then in this life of this era, from the day I was taken by Yinzhen's side, all I wanted was to grow old in peace in the second half of my life. I never thought about hurting anyone, and I had no intention of fighting for anything, but I was always faced with unprovoked targeting, injury, betrayal, and bloody killings again and again, so I could only plan and fight back in order to protect myself, and in such a center of calculation, I began to become more and more cold and hard.
When I got up in the morning and made up, I looked at myself in the mirror and looked at it carefully, except for the cold in those eyes without temperature, and suddenly I realized that I didn't seem to have a heartfelt smile for a long time.
Xiao Shunzi walked into the room, looked at me sitting in front of the mirror in a daze, lowered her eyes and naturally took the comb from the maid who was about to comb my makeup, and quietly helped me comb my hair.
Xiao Shunzi's hands are not only killing, but also can comb a good hair, since the death of Aster, serving me to comb my hair and eat these close things were taken over by Xiao Shunzi without a trace. Although this is not in accordance with the rules, and it will arouse some suspicion of chasing after the wind and shadows, I still acquiesce to his insistence in this way, just because he is the only person around me who can trust and trust my life.
Yes, the only one, even the Qian family, could not have such trust. In my opinion, once some feelings involve interests, they will no longer be as pure as they were at the beginning, and the relationship with interests cannot withstand scrutiny and fragility. Even though I personally designed such a chain of interests, I still dare not easily underestimate the fragility of people's hearts in the face of interests. After experiencing betrayal by trusted and close people again and again, he really didn't dare to hope that his relationship with the Qian family could be strong and indestructible. Especially when I found out that even the old clan, which I had always taken care of with all my might, was not as low-key and harmless as I had seen, I could no longer trust anyone except Xiao Shunzi.
"What are you going to do with that courtyard?" After putting the last strand of hair in a bun, Xiao Shunzi motioned for all the people in the room to retreat, and when only me and him were left in the room, he asked in a deep voice.
The courtyard in Xiao Shunzi's mouth refers to the old family. When I went to see Lao Shi that day, he must have heard it very well with his attendants, and even if I didn't say anything, he could detect all kinds of strangeness in Lao Shi's mind. Because of this, he arranged for people outside the mansion to spend a month to find out the ins and outs of the old clan, and sure enough, he got some unusual news, but these news were very trivial, and it was impossible to judge what role she played in it for the time being.
