Chapter 2 A curtain of spring rain and apricot blossoms are cold

"It's just an apricot blossom, and I gave it to Miss, it's not worth such a valuable thing. "Although the little girl has never seen anything in the world, she also vaguely knows that the value www.biquge.info of this thing is by no means comparable to that of an apricot blossom.

"I don't have the habit of taking people's things for nothing, if you don't want to, you can smash this bracelet." The woman's voice was clear and cold, with a majesty that could not be refused.

The little girl couldn't refuse, and finally took the bracelet and went to the home with joy.

The heart of the people who watched from behind him was so frightened that he could barely hook the cold-hearted woman with the valley master he knew before.

"Valley Lord, I have two silver ...... on me" Xiao Xun hesitated for a moment: "Do you want me to exchange the bracelet back with silver?" ”

The woman said lightly: "No need, dead things are dead things after all, no matter how much you cherish them, there is no human affection." If you can help this family, it can be regarded as its creation. ”

I can't help but feel a little sorry.

The valley lord wears the phoenix blood jade bracelet on his hand every day, and occasionally shows a trance look at it. She thought it was the valley owner's beloved thing, but she even said that if she gave it away, she would give it away.

"Let's go."

"This drizzle is the most annoying, and holding an umbrella will also wet your clothes. Valley Lord, shall we wait until later? Xiao Xun persuaded.

Just as the storyteller tells the same story every year, Lin'an on March 28 must have been drizzling.

And even more punctual than the lingering drizzle are the ones who appear here at this time of year.

The woman did not speak, but lifted the hem of her skirt and walked to the boat.

I couldn't, so I had to keep up.

Someone behind him was running in small steps, panting as he ran, and called, "Miss! Miss, please stay! ”

Before he could get on the boat, he turned around and saw a woman who was dressed in old linen clothes, but she had cleaned herself up.

The woman smiled apologetically, and pulled out a little girl from behind her who couldn't stop wiping her eyes with her hands.

"Don't cry, let's see if it's this young lady?" The woman tugged at the little girl's sleeve and said eagerly.

The little girl obediently put down her hand, her eyes were red, and she looked particularly pitiful.

When he saw it, he blurted out a sentence: "Little girl, it turned out to be you!" ”

The little girl nodded timidly under the woman's inquiring eyes, and lowered her head to play with the corners of her clothes, which had been sharpened from the edges.

The woman smiled apologetically at Xiao Xun, handed the phoenix blood jade bracelet to Xiao Xun with both hands, and said respectfully and gratefully: "Nan Nan is not sensible, and it really shouldn't be to accept something as valuable as Miss." I've already taught her a lesson, so please take the bracelet back. ”

Xiao Xun looked at the bracelet in embarrassment, and then looked at the woman who was already waiting on the boat, and hesitated: "This sister-in-law, this bracelet is my family's ...... My girl gave it to this little girl. I'm just a maid, and I really don't dare to make my own decisions. Xiao Xun pushed the bracelet back: "Our girl has always been kind-hearted, seeing that the little girl is really pitiful to sell flowers in the rain, and I heard the reason why she sells flowers, I can't bear to help for a while." Since the bracelet has been sent out, there is no reason to come back, sister-in-law, you can just take it with peace of mind. ”

But the woman still wanted to excuse herself, and said to the silent woman, "Miss is kind, we have written it down." It's just that the things are too valuable, and we really don't dare to accept them, so please be lenient. ”

Xiao Xun looked back at the woman and called out with a look of embarrassment: "Girl...... What do you think? ”

The woman stood there without moving, and said lightly: "Apricot blossoms are just mundane things that can be seen everywhere to you, but to me, they are treasures that are hard to find." Why, then, should I exchange treasures for treasures? ”

When the woman heard this, she only felt that the phoenix blood jade bracelet in her hand was even more scorching: "This ......"

"Don't feel that you have taken advantage of it, in my heart, it is not as valuable as an apricot blossom." The woman's voice was flat, without the slightest rise and fall, as calm and casual as gossip.

Seeing that the woman had made up her mind, the woman had to thank the woman with a thousand thanks, and led the little girl home slowly. When it was over, the little girl quietly glanced back, only to see Xiao Xun smiling and waving at her, but the plain woman was still standing aside, her figure was hazy due to the thick water vapor, like the classical lady who came out of the landscape ink painting with an umbrella and admired the flowers.

The little girl pursed her lips and smiled shyly and brightly.

The captain raised his hand to help the somewhat low hat, and said with a smile: "The girl is really a bodhisattva. ”

The woman said lightly: "It's just a gesture, and it can't be called a bodhisattva's heart." ”

The captain didn't mind her cold treatment, and still asked with a smile, "Where does the girl want to go?" ”

"Peony House."

The captain sighed and asked curiously, "Where is the girl going?" It's ...... there," the captain thought back to the peony medicine house described by others, and unconsciously shut up.

"We just want to see it." Xiao Xun glanced at the woman, and replied crisply: "I heard that the scenery of the peony residence is very beautiful, so I want to go and have a look." ”

"The little girl is from somewhere else, right?" The captain asked, "That peony house is good-looking, but it's not big...... I heard that Peony Yaoju used to be the other village of Princess Cheng An, and after the Wei Kingdom was gone, it was bought by the Liang people...... I heard that there is a crazy girl living in it now......" The captain talked intermittently while rowing: "God is pitiful, and I don't know what evil has been done, and the good girl is crazy like this......"

"It's okay, we're just standing outside and looking, and we're not going to go in." Murmur said.

It is said that peonies are planted in Cangshan, and the best flowers bloom are the peony houses built on the top of Cangshan. When the flowers bloom, the pink and white peony is very bright and moving.

It's just that...... Xiao Xun felt sorry in his heart, but it was not yet the season for the peony to bloom.

After all, she couldn't see the splendid flowers blooming all over the mountains. Otherwise, enjoying the scenery in spring is also a great joy in life.

The boat slowly rowed across the water, and after a long time, it finally wobbled to a halt on the shore.

"Girl, a hundred steps forward is Cangshan." "It's not easy to go up the mountain on a rainy day, it's easy to slip, so be careful." ”

"Thank you." The plain-clothed woman bowed her head slightly, not knowing whether to thank her captain for sending them here, or to thank him for his kind reminder.

Xiao Xun took out a string of copper coins from his purse, stuffed them into the arms of his father-in-law, and hurried away.

The captain looked at the two figures in front of him and behind him, and muttered, "Strange man." When he lowered his eyes and saw the string of copper coins, he called out again: "Girl! Girl! I gave a lot of silver! ”

However, the two of them had already walked away, and no matter how much the captain shouted, they couldn't hear it.
