Chapter 297: The Old Courtyard of the Deserted House
At that moment, the carriage suddenly slowed down and then stopped. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Arrived?" Lin Xun muttered, he couldn't believe it was so fast.
Tang Guxi lifted the curtain on the side and found that the carriage was parked on the side of the road at the moment, opposite was a family's mansion, and there was no scene in the palace around, obviously not in the palace.
Just as she was about to put down the curtain, a maid came in front of her, that was the maid beside Princess Luo, who came to the window of Tang Guxi, looked at them and said softly: "Miss Tang, Lin Gongzi, Niangniang, please come down." ”
"Come down?"
"Yes."
"Where is this?" Lin Xun poked his head out of the car, "Haven't you arrived in the palace yet, why do you want to get out of the car?" ”
The maid pursed her lips and chuckled: "Childe, don't ask, Niangniang said that you want to rest here for a while, if you don't want to get out of the car to breathe, it's okay to sit in the car, after all, it's warm in the car." ”
"No, no, no, I'd better come down!" Without waiting for her to finish, Lin Xun preemptively said, "It's really stuffy on this way, there is a stove in the car, if I don't go down to catch my breath, I'm afraid I'm going to suffocate." With that, he turned around and pushed the door open, jumping down.
Tang Guxi smiled dryly at the maid twice, and followed closely.
As soon as I got out of the car, I saw Princess Luo moving out of the carriage in front of her, walking slowly towards the opposite side, wearing a begonia red silk dress, not as graceful and luxurious as the usual palace clothes, but extremely beautiful, purple red like plum blossoms in the winter snow, and like the rolling blood flowing out of the body, vivid, bright like the morning glow.
In front of the three of them was a large and majestic but old and dilapidated mansion, the door of which was already entangled with cobwebs, grass roots, and dust and dirt. The brownish-red gate has become a little blackened and dark brown due to age, and between the two doors, a seal can be faintly seen, but the words on it cannot be seen clearly.
Along the side of the gate, there is the same dilapidated gray and white wall, the wall is overgrown with weeds, and after the rain has been repainted, countless muddy water traces flow down the green tiles, staining the already unclean wall even more messy and dirty.
Just by looking at the gate of Nafu and the two stone lions in front of the door, you can know how magnificent and mighty this mansion should have been before its decline, and it must have been lived by characters such as princes and generals in the court, but for some reason, it ended up in such a tragic scene, and what did it experience in the meantime?
Tang Guxi and Lin Xun didn't know anything, the two of them stood here quietly, silent, but watched Princess Luo walk to the door step by step, the surroundings were silent, it seemed that in an instant, everything was silent, and the world was silent.
Luo Qingwan was dressed in a red robe, like the scene of Tang Guxi wearing a red robe to see him off that day, touching the scene, although Tang Guxi was puzzled, he still thought that the person who had lived here must be a person who was extremely important to Princess Luo.
And Luo Qingwan didn't know what this red symbolized, so she didn't choose red, she didn't choose vermilion, but chose this slightly variegated begonia red. The begonia red is bright as blood, but it is not very bright, there is no sense of publicity, only the wet drunken red with the fragrance of begonia flowers, reflecting her ice muscles and jade bones, without a trace of discomfort.
Soon I will enter the palace to watch the Keju competition, sitting in that piece of enchanting pearl green, this red is not so eye-catching, the key is that at this moment, standing on this empty street, with this dilapidated and lonely mansion as the background, it looks a lot more dazzling.
Luo Qingwan's face was icy, not angry or smiling, there was no half a wave on her face, and after slowly walking up the doorway, she stood a foot away from the door, standing still. The beautiful and moving face bloomed with pride, even though Qinggao was like an ice and snow beauty, and people did not dare to approach it in an instant, but in addition to that pride, it also revealed a warmth.
That warmth is buried under the ice and snow, exuding a long-lasting residual heat, slowly flowing in the dark, first-class is for many years.
Perhaps moved by the silent atmosphere around him, or perhaps infected by Princess Luo's abnormal behavior, Tang Guxi unconsciously stood upright, only to feel a breath brewing in his heart, rolling back and forth and rising in his body, everything in heaven and earth seems to be born for this moment, and it remains quiet for this moment.
"Do you know why I came to pick you up today?" Suddenly, Luo Qingwan turned around and cast her eyes on Tang Guxi and Lin Xun not far away.
Tang Guxi and Lin Xun shook their heads, but they already had a bottom in their hearts, and it must be related to this mansion.
Luo Qingwan smiled, her smile was still calm, and a gentle voice flowed out of her mouth: "Because today is a special day." ”
Lin Xun frowned slightly, stepped forward, his eyes fixed on the door, "Could it be that today is the day when this mansion falls?" ”
Luo Qingwan's face moved slightly, "You only guessed half right." ”
Lin Xun came to Luo Qingwan, his eyes turned, stayed on her face for a moment, and then retracted and moved to the door, "I don't know what relationship Niangniang had with the people in this house?" ”
Or, the former owner of this mansion was a relative of the southern royal family?
As soon as this idea came up, he denied it - when the southern kingdom was destroyed, many courtiers did return to the Xizhou court, but those who returned to the Luo family must not have any blood relationship, otherwise they would never have been appointed by the king of Xizhou.
"You don't want to know, whose mansion is this," Luo Qingwan's voice was unhurried, "Who once lived?" ”
This quiet voice came into Lin Xun's ears, making his heart tremble, and he turned to look at Princess Luo, his eyes were wrapped in a serious meaning, Lin Xun at this moment was not at all like the cynical Lin Xun on weekdays, he bowed and said in a calm and powerful voice: "The grass people think, even if the grass people ask, Niang Niang won't say it, right?" No matter who once lived, what kind of entanglement Niangniang had with it, now it is a deserted house, people go to the empty building, why should Niangniang fall into the shackles of herself? ”
When Luo Qingwan heard this, her calm face was like a pebble, which made her eyes tremble and panic. Unconsciously, he clenched the handkerchief in his hand.
Lin Xun withdrew his gaze, as if he couldn't bear to take in his helplessness, so he said: "Niangniang, it's not too early, it's better to go back to the palace early." ”
As soon as this sentence came out, Luo Qingwan's tense face relaxed, she glanced at Lin Xun, nodded slightly, her eyes were as light as a little water, and she immediately withdrew it.
Silently stepping down the steps, she came to Tang Guxi, the two looked at each other, only a few feet apart, but they did not take a step forward.
Tang Guxi saw all this in his eyes, and there were more than one or two questions in his heart? She looked at the concubine in front of her, the former princess, this woman who was surrounded by beads and jade clothes since she was a child, and thought to herself, she has such a beauty, she must also be a person of the most affectionate and sexual, even if she is nearly forty years old and the children are all adults, but what she has in her heart is not a girlish feeling? What she said when she was sentimental was not a mind that even she and Lin Xun could see through at a glance? (To be continued.) )
