Chapter 1: The Mystery of Luo Yanxi's Identity
Today's Luofu is particularly jubilant, wearing red and hanging colors everywhere, and the people are busy with smiles on their faces, not tired at all. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe whole of Luofu is bustling with activity. The most remote small courtyard in Luofu, this courtyard is the most dilapidated place in Luofu, it was originally just a weedy field, it was built temporarily five years ago, and when you walk into the courtyard, you will see three houses, there is a well in the courtyard, and there is a long rope not far from the well, on which a few washed clothes are dried.
A sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl next to the well was washing her clothes with joy on her face, and a five or six-year-old girl was squatting in the corner next to her, counting ants. On the other side, there is a small vegetable garden surrounded by a fence, which grows some seasonal vegetables, which are particularly verdant. Not far from the fence wall is a grape trellis with bunches of small green grapes on top, and a stone table underneath it with several stone benches around it.
Look at the house again, a larger house, with three small rooms in it, and a small living room in the middle, with a wooden table and a few chairs, and no other decorations; The large room next to it was where the young lady lived, and there was a bed with a half-worn silk quilt on the bed, a wardrobe at the foot of the bed, and a dresser with a copper mirror and a comb on it, and a few boxes, and a brand-new tray beside it, on which were all kinds of precious precious hairpins, hostas, and bracelets; One was for the maid, with only two beds, and a box at the head of the bed. Next to the house is a bathing room with a large bathtub and a shelf next to it with a set of pink silk clothes and baskets of flowers underneath. There is also a pair of pink gold embroidered shoes in the bottom check. The house next to the bath room is a small kitchen, in which the food is not precious, but it is still everything.
"Sister Xin'er, the yard in front of you is so lively today! I heard them say that Daddy is coming back, have you seen him? The questioner was a little girl squatting in the corner counting ants, and I saw that she was wearing a coarse linen dress, with a gray hairband tied to her hair on her head, she was Luo Yanxi.
The maid named Xin'er looked at the young lady wearing coarse linen clothes next to her, and her heart was full of sympathy, thinking of six years ago, when the young lady was born, it was such a luxurious scenery, the patterns on the small quilt wrapped were woven with gold threads, in order to celebrate the young lady's birthday, it was even more luxurious, Master Luo specially invited the chef of Drunken Fuxiang to come to the house to cook, and set up a three-day flowing water banquet to entertain the guests. You must know that drunken Fuxiang is not something that everyone can eat. A dish is worth a thousand dollars. No one knows what is added to the food of Drunken Fuxiang, only that if you eat the food of Drunken Fuxiang regularly, your body will become strong and strong. A woman's skin will become more and more smooth and delicate. Just this little bit of change is very tempting. Dignitaries and nobles from all over the country, squires and tyrants are thousands of miles away, just to eat drunk and auspicious dishes. It can be seen how favored Miss Chang was at that time.
A year later, the lord said that he was going to the capital, since the lord left a month later, the eldest lady suddenly fainted when she was walking in the garden, the doctor came to see, said that the eldest lady had two months pregnant, and at this time there was a passing Taoist priest came to the house, ghosts and ghosts said a bunch of gods, and finally said that there was a young lady in the house who was hit with a bad luck and would crash into the fetus in the belly of the eldest lady. and said Miss Yan's birthday, saying that she must stay away from the eldest lady. The eldest lady was unwilling in her heart, but there was no way, it was the second lady who was in charge of the house, and now she was pregnant. In this way, Miss's good days came to an end, and she was sent to this remote courtyard, followed by only ten-year-old Xin'er and a fifty-year-old mother, Wu's mother. The poor young lady, who was only a year old, suffered in this way. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but smile bitterly: "The master hasn't come back for five years, and when the master left five years ago, I took a look at it from a distance, and now I can't remember it clearly." As he spoke, he continued to work again.
"Yes! You don't remember, it's been five years......" Luo Yanxi muttered, and then stopped speaking, his eyes wandered, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"Xin'er, have the clothes been washed, washed and go to boil a bucket of hot water, clean the young lady, and then change into the clothes sent by the second lady, go to the front yard to welcome the master back to the house, today the master comes back, we will leave here." Is it Wu's mother who speaks? She is also a senior old man in Luofu, she used to be the housekeeper of the kitchen in Luofu, and after the eldest lady was pregnant, she was assigned to take care of the young lady in the side hospital. If it hadn't happened six years ago, she might still be a kitchen steward, and she wouldn't have lived a ...... Thinking of this, Wu's mother's eyes were full of determination: Cuiping, I promised you that with my old mother one day, I will protect the safety of Miss, don't worry! "Okay, I'll go right away." Xin'er agreed. It's finally time to leave this hellish place, and Miss can finally live a good life. Xin'er thought in her heart, wiped away her tears, and went to boil the water.
Seeing Xin'er's appearance, Wu's mother sighed, "In the end, she is still a child, everything is put on her face, is it a blessing or a curse to leave here...... "Wu's mother is not only worried about her future life, although her life here is harder, she is still safe after all, if she returns to the front yard...... Anyway, what should come will come after all, and it is better to go with the flow than to worry about the sky.
"Xi'er, stop playing, come here, let Mother Wu clean up for you, and I'll go to see the master later!" Mother Wu always feels sad every time she sees Luo Yanxi.
"Okay, I'll be right away," Luo Yanxi replied, getting up and walking into the house. No one saw that where Luo Yanxi was squatting, there was some white powder, and those ants avoided the white powder one after another. At this time, Xin'er also prepared the bathing water and sprinkled the new flower petals sent by the housekeeper.
"Mother Wu, the water is ready, let me serve the young lady to bathe today!" Xin'er asked. Xin'er didn't understand why every time Miss bathed, she didn't let others get close.
"No need, you can also go and make up, wait until you go to the front yard and don't lose face to Miss, I still have something to explain to Miss."
"Okay" Xin'er happily ran to get dressed. After all, she is a little girl, and her love for beauty is understandable. Mother Wu smiled and shook her head, looking at Xin'er and walking away.
Mother Wu pushed the door into the house and looked at Luo Yanxi in the bathtub, her fair melon seed face was not flawless, her brows were frowned, her eyes were closed, and there was a cherry mouth under her small and firm nose. Although she is only six years old, she can vaguely see that she will be a stunning beauty when she grows up.
Mother Wu approached Luo Yanxi, stroked her brows and said, "Xi'er, the master is back, we are going to live with the second lady and them." ”
Luo Yanxi opened his eyes, his expression was a little sad: "Mother Wu, when Master Luo comes back, after I get that thing from him, I will leave here, you can go back to Zhuangzi and reunite with Uncle Wu." You haven't been back for so many years, it's hard for you. ”
Mother Wu looked at the little person in front of her, and her eyes were full of distress: "If it weren't for Cuiping back then, my old man's legs and feet would not be better." These are the things I should do. "Old man Wu was originally a coachman in Luofu, once he went out to do business with the master, loyal to the lord, but broke a leg, and then the old man found the doctor to show him, the doctor said that the leg was saved, but because the treatment is not timely, it may not be convenient to move in the future. So he was arranged by the master to be a steward in Zhuangzi, and he was comfortable. Originally, the two of them had no hope of curing Old Man Wu's legs and feet, but who knows, when they met Cuiping six years ago, they gave a bottle of pills made from the prescription handed down by their ancestors, and after eating it for a month, their legs and feet were completely better.
Mother Wu wiped Luo Yanxi's body, and put the flowers on the shelf next to her in the bath bucket: "Miss, you want to leave, take Xin'er with you!" Although this girl is simple-minded, she is also loyal. Follow you, I'm relieved too. As he spoke, his eyes turned red.
"When I leave, I will help Xin'er redeem herself, if you want, let her follow you. You don't have to worry about me, I have someone around to protect me. Luo Yanxi was also very reluctant, although she was more mature, she was still a child after all. But what can be done? She wants to grow up as soon as possible, and she has to find her mother.
"There is only one Yirong Dan left behind by Cuiping, and after half a year, your appearance will ......" Luo Yanxi grew up watching Wu's mother, just like her own child, and suddenly heard that she was leaving, and she was very reluctant, but she couldn't stop her, she had her own way to go. She can't be a stumbling block in her upbringing.
Speaking of this Yirong Pill is also a rare thing, as long as you eat Yirong Dan, you can change your appearance, make the skin dull yellow and rough, the effect of the medicine is about half a year, and you can restore your original appearance after half a year. These things are also extremely rare things, and no one has ever seen them in a big family like Luofu.
"It's okay, when you go to that place in the future, you won't need this kind of thing anymore." After Luo Yanxi finished speaking, he closed his eyes and stopped talking. Continue to enjoy the flower bath. Her mind drifted back to a year ago, she remembered that day the wind was beautiful and the sun was shining, at noon she finished eating, sat under the grape trellis with Xin'er to enjoy the cool, Wu's mother called her into the room, looked at her for a long time, and finally, picked up her hand and pierced it with a silver needle, and dripped the blood from her fingertips on the jade block. Airplanes...... Her head shook and she fainted, she seemed to have had a long, long dream, in which she saw a very beautiful woman with peerless elegance, she knew that this woman was her mother, because she could feel the affection flowing in their blood, "Mother, I miss you...... Wow......" Little Luo Yanxi looked at this woman, and after only saying one word, she couldn't stop crying.
The beautiful woman in the dream came over, hugged Luo Yanxi tightly, and comforted softly, "Xi'er, my mother's Xi'er, let you suffer, your current age, you should be in your mother's arms to be coquettish and laugh, but your mother is not by your side, Xi'er, your mother loves you, this is just a wisp of remnant soul left in the jade, mother's time is running out, Xi'er, you have to grow up as soon as possible, your mother is in trouble, and you need to save it." You take what your mother left you to Yuxue Peak, where someone will tell you what to do next. It's going to be a very difficult and dangerous road, Xi'er, and when you're decided, set off. Mother is waiting for you at the end of the road. In the end, the shadow has become lighter and fainter, and finally disappeared, Luo Yanxi seems to be able to feel the temperature of her mother's body, and she can still hear her gentle voice.
"Mother's ......" Luo Yanxi cried heartbreakingly. She finally saw her mother, but she didn't expect it to be in a dream. She's just a kid......
When she woke up, she was stunned, as if she had changed into a different person.
Mother Wu looked at her very distressed, she didn't know what Luo Yanxi had experienced, she could only hold Luo Yanxi's small body and keep comforting her. Since then, some strange things have always happened around Luo Yanxi, sometimes, Wu Ma feels as if someone is talking to Luo Yanxi, but when she goes to the room, she is the only one playing in the room.
"Xi'er, the water is cold, come out, I'm going to catch a cold if I soak it again." Wu's mother's words interrupted Luo Yanxi's memories, Luo Yanxi opened her eyes, there were still tears left in the corners of her eyes, and Wu's mother quietly helped her wipe them away.
Wu's mother took Luo Yanxi out, helped her dry her body, and changed into the clothes sent by the second lady, the top is a small short coat made of high-quality pink silk, the lower right side is embroidered with a lotus blooming pattern, and the bottom is a pink and white pleated lotus leaf skirt, which is the latest model of Lanyifang this year. He wore pink and gold-inlaid embroidered shoes. With Luo Yanxi's stunning appearance, it seems to be a little fairy left in the mortal world. Mother Wu was stunned.
"Mother Wu, do you look good?" Luo Yanxi got dressed and spun around in a circle.
"Good-looking, good-looking, our Xi'er is the best-looking." Mother Wu came back to her senses, and went to the bedroom to get Yi Rong Dan for Luo Yanxi as she spoke.
Luo Yanxi followed Mother Wu to the bedroom, swallowed the black pill in Mother Wu's hand, and it didn't take long for the power of the medicine to attack. Mother Wu saw that her skin, which was still fair just now, instantly turned sallow and rough. Seeing such a change, Wu Ma was still taken aback.
"It's so ugly, it's so ugly......" Luo Yanxi looked at the people in the bronze mirror, and he couldn't accept it.
Mother Wu smiled: "This medicine is also magical, it can actually change the appearance, if it was before, I would never believe it." Miss, the second lady also sent a variety of headdresses, all decorated with fine gemstones, which one do you want to wear? Mother Wu held the tray in her hand, which contained all kinds of gem-inlaid hairpins, hostas, and all kinds of jewelry.
Luo Yanxi glanced at it: "Just that pink plum blossom hairpin!" ”
Mother Wu saw the ornaments that Luo Yanxi only glanced at, you must know that these are all jewelry decorated with high-quality gemstones, each of which is a treasure of the Liuli Pavilion, if these are placed outside, those young ladies will also like to scream! But Luo Yanxi only glanced at it. Wu's mother had more praise in her heart: "Wouldn't it be too monotonous?" ”
Luo Yanxi frowned: "It's all cumbersome." ”
Wu's mother smiled, and then picked up the plum blossom hairpin and gave Luo Yanxi a girl's bun. Dressed up, Wu's mother looked at it again and again, the sallow and rough skin, with pink clothes, the more she looked at it, the more weird she felt, and she really didn't look at the coarse linen clothes. Of course, the current appearance is all the credit of Yi Rong Dan.
A room decorated with extravagance and luxury, the image projected by a crystal ball shows that it is this small courtyard of Luo Yanxi, including the voice of the voice inside has been heard clearly. A mysterious voice was unusually abrupt in the empty room, "Girl, we will be able to meet soon, I hope you don't disappoint me when you meet you." ”
