Great Zhou Dynasty, 16th year of Ding'an, early spring. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

As soon as the sky was bright, the Songzi Creek on Guanyin Mountain broke the ice, the stream gurgled down and was crystal clear, and the gargling dingdong rushed to Shangjing.

Outside the capital city, a beautiful scenery suddenly appeared, and sixteen amber-encrusted chariots and horses were kicking and trampling on.

The first car is golden, the gold silk and jade silk hangs down the wind curtain, the four-cornered flying phoenix pecks high, and the phoenix's beak is embellished with pure gold to create pearls and jade, shining and shining, wandering people's eyes.

The carriages and horses were surrounded by servants and maids, clash with plain clothes and pink faces.

The servants and maids are masters like clouds, and the cold blades are in the sheath and the iron armor is like a net.

Except for the voices of the nobles in the carriage, there was nothing else to pick out.

"Sister Xiao, do you know that Concubine Yuan gave birth last night?" The woman who spoke was not very old, it was Qing Zhaoyi.

"I didn't give birth to a prince, don't worry, that cheap hoof can't be proud." Concubine Xiao replied disdainfully.

"I heard that Concubine Yuan was conceived because she drank the water of the Sending Zixi, and the same is true for Concubine Jing."

"Tsk, Concubine Jing's slut is about to give birth, and she has a big belly, begging the emperor to allow her to come to Guanyin Temple to repay her vows, I see, Concubine Jing just wants to ask Guanyin to send her son to protect her from giving birth to a prince! Oh, it's naïve, how long can you live even if you are born? The corners of Concubine Xiao's mouth hooked slightly, and she snorted lightly.

"Sister Xiao, you don't understand what I mean! I'm thinking, is it really that effective? If it really works, I will definitely drink more this time, and then call the father-in-law in the worship room to turn over the sign for me, maybe...... As soon as the emperor comes, I will have good news! Qing Zhaoyi's face flushed slightly, and she lowered her head and said shyly.

"You're naïve too! In fact, it's useless to drink anything, the Guanyin of this Guanyin Temple is worshiped every year, and the stream water of Zixi is drunk every year, but some people still dominate the harem, and they can't even give birth to farts! ”

"Sister, you have to be quiet!" She pointed outside, maybe the wall had ears, and after a moment of silence, she said, "But it's strange that a weak concubine can give birth to one or two." ”

"You're still young, don't understand, some people can't be born, some people can't stay, let's wake up, beware of the next one......"

"Ugh." Qing Zhaoyi sighed.

After a long time, I couldn't help but lift the soft sedan curtain, my eyebrows and eyes were bent, and I glanced at the back of the tall horse in the distance with fascination, "Sister Xiao, in fact, I am also shallow-minded, I just hate not being able to marry that person, if God can do what I want, I can't give birth or keep the empty boudoir alone, I am willing." ”

Concubine Xiao glanced at Qing Zhaoyi with pity and laughed at her: "Don't talk nonsense, in this world, if you want to marry Prince Yi, it is probably the most difficult thing." ”

Before the soft sedan curtain fell, Xiao Concubine reluctantly looked at the back, with a rare sweet smile on the corner of her mouth.

In front of the team, the guards who opened the road carried the avoidance flag of the gold-faced deficit, spurred the horses to gallop, and swept away the pedestrians on the left and right all the way.

Only two beggars, an old man and a young man, supported each other, lowered their heads, and walked slowly along the roadside.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!" The guards shouted loudly, but they did not stop.

The two beggars did not react at all, the old ears were back, and the few did not know anything, and they still walked with their heads down.

When Pegasus came to him, the guard grabbed the reins sharply, and the horse raised his hooves and kicked them away.

"Untouchables, next time I don't wake up, I'll step on you directly!" The guard whipped in satisfaction and sped forward again.

"Grandma, you vomited blood, the blood is so red."

The little beggar was about fifteen or sixteen years old, her hair was knotted and her face was covered with dust, her cotton jacket was dirty and tattered, and fleas were looming.

"Silly girl, you, are you okay?" Grandma took a deep breath and tried to sit up, but found that her buttocks couldn't move, "Grandma may have broken bones, let's get grandma back." ”

"Skipping meals?" The silly girl asked.

"Eat, you eat...... But if you want to, you have to send grandma home first, grandma can't go today. Grandma choked in pain.

The two beggars calmly responded to the flying disaster, numb as commonplace, and did not complain.

The silly aunt is skinny, and the grandmother is also skinny, and it doesn't seem to be very difficult to carry it.

But the silly aunt was hungry and panicked, and she was tired, and she still let her grandmother fall halfway.

Grandma vomited blood again, and her face turned even paler.

Their home is in a ruined temple at the foot of Guanyin Mountain, and a better Guanyin temple was repaired on the mountain, and this one was abandoned.

The silly aunt settled her grandmother in her nest and sat down as well.

"Silly girl, come, put this on."

Grandma slowly untied the black rope around her neck, and the rope was covered with clear mutton fat white jade, and the jade was embossed, engraved with the word "Yi".

"Use this, in exchange for food?" The silly aunt took the white jade from her grandmother's old hand and tied it neatly around her gray-stained neck.

"Go to Beijing and find the owner." Grandma knocked her head with her hand, resenting her old age, and she couldn't remember the name of the museum.

Grandma was relieved, and she had some difficulty speaking, "Silly aunt, we saved a seriously injured son a year ago, and the boy left in a hurry after he sobered up, but gave this piece of white jade so that we could go to some museum to find him... Do you remember, what it was? ”

"One...... A delicious restaurant! The silly girl licked her lips, as if she had thought of something delicious.

"Go find him and let him repay us! If you don't find it, don't exchange this jade with the black-hearted hawker for food until you have to. ”

Grandma sighed, knowing that the silly aunt would be able to change to a steamed bun at most.

There are too few good people in this world, and she has been begging for many years, and she has endured deceit, abuse, and humiliation.

She had lived enough and wanted to die, but accidentally dragged a small oil bottle.

Although the silly aunt is stupid, she knows cold and hot, and she is the most reassuring existence in this world.

For this only warmth, grandma is desperate to live, and she is always reluctant to let go.

"Grandma, I'm hungry." The silly aunt sucked her fingers, just mentioned eating, the five internal organs in the stomach are restless, and they need a sacrificial stove.

The silly aunt looked around, the other beggars had already gone to the capital to eat, only she and her grandmother were the earliest, the slowest to go, and always the hungriest.

"Go and eat, grandma is waiting for you at home."

"Grandma, I'm scared, I don't know the way." The silly aunt said that she would cry.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, child, you just go out from this road, go on the road and keep walking, keep walking, just go in when you see a big city, if you can't come back, just find a place where you can sleep and hide from the rain, and you won't have to walk so far to eat in the future."

Grandma shook her head, Shangjing is too prosperous, and every inch of land is expensive.

There are only a handful of places in Beijing that can accommodate beggars, and she is also dominated by strong people, otherwise she would not take her silly aunt to walk so far every day to beg for food.

But the stupid girl can't tell the difference between begging and eating.

In the eyes of the silly girl, it is all to fill the stomach.

"Go ahead, you're hungry." Grandma urged the silly aunt, her expression was suddenly very painful, but she endured the pain and didn't cry out, for fear of scaring her.

"Hmm!" The silly girl wiped away her tears, and instantly looked very confident, "I'm going to bring food back for grandma." ”

"This time I walked outside the road, my eyes looked forward, if I saw Pegasus, I had to hide, don't cause trouble, don't think about grandma in the future, you are a good boy, live well......"

Grandma's hands trembled like chaff, stroking the stupid girl's face, and her mouth was rambling and explaining a lot of words, but the stupid aunt couldn't understand it.

Grandma's meatless hand touched the silly girl's meatless face, and it hurt a little, but the silly aunt didn't care, and listened to grandma's words.

"Huh!" The silly aunt obediently responded to grandma's words, kissed grandma, and then jumped away.

Grandma looked at the back of the silly aunt, closed her eyes, and two lines of hot tears crossed her stained face.

She didn't want to let go yet, but the day finally came.

She stretched out her arms and stared into the distance, clutching at the nothingness in front of her.

The dull pain in her heart gradually surged up her throat, and the blood at the corner of her mouth slowly overflowed, dripping onto the collar of her shirt.

Suddenly, grandma seemed to have caught something, and hugged it back into her arms tightly, tightly, unwilling to let go.

Her whole body curled up together, as if embracing the most beautiful thing in the world.

Her face was full of happiness, and the uneasiness at the corners of her mouth was hooked into a slightly raised arc.

The head was tilted slightly, and the silver-white hair was clinging to the blood on the side of the mouth, like a red flower blooming with a white stamen.

In the end, the grandmother collapsed in the silly aunt's cosy nest and left.

The silly girl ran and ran, chased a small flying insect around and around, and entered a peach forest with flowers and bones to see, the sun climbed half a section higher, and suddenly found that she was hungry and painful.

Look around, where is there a road, a city, and the mouth is thirsty and dry.

"I'm thirsty."

The silly girl moved her ears, and there seemed to be a sound of water not far away, and the silly girl who listened licked her mouth and moved her throat.

"There's something to drink!"

The silly girl followed the sound of the water all the way, trotted, and soon went down a small hill, and when she saw a stream, she was about to run to fetch water to drink, but when she went a few steps further, she found a beautiful woman in the shadows of the grass.

The silly aunt hurriedly climbed back to the back of the hill and hid condescendingly, as for why she hid, all nobles would take her subordinates, and the subordinates would definitely pinch her nose and beat her with disgust on her face, and the silly aunt knew that it would be a pain of flesh and skin if she didn't hide.

But the silly girl looked around, and there seemed to be no one else except the beautiful woman.

The beautiful woman squatted by the stream carrying a three-tiered food box carved with vermilion flowers, opened the first lid, and set the lid aside, revealing the crispy and golden pastry.

"It's delicious." The silly girl swallowed a mouthful of saliva at the sight.

The beautiful woman opened the second and third floors, and the third layer was very mysterious, a ball of treasures wrapped in brocade quilts.

The beautiful woman picked up the baby and quickly put the second and first layers of the food box back in turn, and she was in a hurry to cover the first layer, so she quickly broke the dead wood and broken branches.

He hooked a large piece of broken ice from the stream to the shore with a broken branch, put the baby on the ice in a panic, and pushed it to the middle of the stream, and the baby floated away with the current.

Immediately afterwards, the beautiful woman left in a panic with the food box, and the obvious first layer of lid was forgotten by the stream.

The silly girl hurriedly ran down and picked up the lid of the food box and smelled it, she had never smelled the fragrance of pastries before.

"What about the baby? It's also eaten! The silly girl rubbed her belly, her stomach growled, and she ran with the lid of the food box and the stream.

After a while, I saw that the broken ice holding the treasure was stuck in the dead willow roots on the other side of the stream, and it was about to turn over.

The silly aunt remembered that a long, long time ago, it rained heavily, she was bullied by her father, so she grabbed a few cakes and ran out of her hometown.

"Food, it's gone!" The silly girl muttered anxiously, threw down the lid of the food box, and stepped into the stream in a heavy but not warm cotton jacket.

The stream was biting, and the silly girl was struck from her toenails to the tips of her hair, and the cotton jacket on her body was absorbing more and more water, but she wanted to eat, and was unwilling to retreat to the shore.

"Delicious, for grandma!"

The stupid girl's legs couldn't support it, and she bent, and the whole person fell into the water.

She choked on the water, struggled a few times, and then showed her head again, and slapped her hands wildly, grabbing at the baby.

"Eat! To give grandma! "The silly girl is still determined.

The silt at the bottom of the water was stirred up, the surface of the water was muddy, and the broken ice was washed by several waves, tilting angles again and again.

The baby suddenly cried, kicked the brocade quilt, and a clenched pink little fist was exposed, waving in the cold wind, and the cry became brighter.

The silly girl saw that the baby was actually a child, not for food!

Her heart was cold, and the hunger in her heart hit her like a mallet, and she suddenly cramped her legs and feet and couldn't stand steadily, and she fell into the water suddenly, without struggling or moving.

The water wave pushed, and the last wave set off by the silly girl hit the broken ice directly, and the broken ice turned over one hundred and eighty degrees, and the crying child also fell into the stream......
