The Xia family is a noble family and pays a lot of attention to it. Relatives and friends gathered together, and the sound of silk and bamboo on the banquet rose and fell, continuously, singing and dancing were leveled and graceful.

Xia Xue'er is a lady in the boudoir, even if she is the protagonist of this banquet, she still can't show her face at the banquet with many male guests, so no matter how worried she is at the moment, she can only listen to the excitement in the main house from a distance, and go back to listen to Yuxuan alone along the path.

The snowy night was silent, and the bright moonlight reflected on the snow. Occasionally, a nocturnal bird flies by, and you can imprint your agile posture on the smooth and wide courtyard, some fluttering wings, some whirling and soaring, and some as small as black spots, with low or sharp chirps, like the wonderful shadow puppet tricks of Uncle Liu in the west of the city.

Xia Xue'er listened to Yuxuan, but she didn't rush into the house to keep warm, but stood alone under the porch. Looking at the black shadow moving in the courtyard that gradually disappeared, I couldn't help but think of Mr. Dongpo who wrote such a passage in "Night Tour of Ji Chengtian Temple":

Under the court, such as stagnant water and empty light, the algae in the water are crossed, and the shadow of the bamboo and cypress is also covered. Why is there no moon in the night? Where is there no bamboo cypress? But there are few idlers like the ears of the two of us.

Mr. Dongpo in the middle of the night sleepless fashion can go to Chengtian Temple to find his friend Zhang Huaimin, walk in the idle garden, chat, admire the moon, but also issued "what night there is no moon, where there is no bamboo and cypress, but few idlers such as the ears of the two of us". But what about herself? I can only grieve here alone in Mochizuki.

Since borrowing the corpse to resurrect her soul, unconsciously, she has survived a whole summer, persevered for a whole sad autumn, and is about to send away a whole winter, ushering in the beginning of the year. However, even with the passage of time, she still does not have a real friend.

In this dynasty of dignity and inferiority, in this airtight house, even while enjoying the joy of family, you have to always carry a heart, carefully guarding against those who are calculating her in the dark, here, no one can treat her equally from the bottom of his heart, or want to rely on her, or want to be relied on by her.

How sad and lamentable!

Cuizhu was resting in her own room, and when she heard light footsteps in the corridor, she opened the door and looked, only to see Xia Xue'er standing alone under the corridor, only looking at the empty courtyard stupidly.

The west wind whistled by, blowing up the scattered hair on her sideburns, and she felt a little distressed for a while.

Cuizhu turned around and went back to the room to light the lamp, went out with the lamp, and went straight to Dongmei and Qiu Ju's room. The two were chatting sentence by sentence, Cuizhu knocked lightly on the door and whispered: "Don't talk, Miss has come back, let's come out to serve." ”

The sound of footsteps sounded, Dongmei opened the door, her eyes lit up, and she asked urgently, "Where is it?" ”

"Shh

Cuizhu put her index finger in front of her mouth, motioned for Dongmei to make a small sound, and then pointed to the place where Xia Xue'er was standing, Dongmei looked in the direction of Cuizhu's finger and hurriedly covered her mouth. Qiu Ju also made up her head, and after seeing this situation, she didn't say much.

Cuizhu instructed softly: "Miss must not have had dinner yet, you two go and ask the cook to heat up the meal and prepare for the meal." ”

Watching Dongmei and Qiu Ju tiptoe away, Cuizhu walked towards the main house, but did not disturb Xia Xue'er, just went straight inside, took out a fur coat, and gently put it on Xia Xue'er, and then turned around and stepped into the house.

"It's getting colder and colder."

As soon as Cuizhu stepped into the room, she faintly heard a voice behind her, stopped and looked back, and found that there had been no change, Xia Xue'er was still standing under the porch, still straightening her waist, still looking at the empty courtyard stupidly.

I don't know if it's her talking to herself, or is it her auditory hallucination? After two seconds of struggle, he finally didn't make a sound, and continued to walk towards the house, the charcoal in the brazier was almost extinguished, and he had to add some more.

yes, it's getting colder. This year's winter is different from previous years, not only the heavy snow has fallen five or six, and this year's closure is approaching, but the temperature has not risen at all, and the whistling west wind seems to be getting more and more ruthless, only this winter, the glazed tiles on the roof have been swept away by the wind seven or eight pieces, and the window has to be closed all the time.

It's so unusual, I really don't know if it's good or bad.

"Cuizhu, I'm tired, I'm tired of such intrigues, tired of such a dark life. But as long as I think of pandan, I have to grit my teeth and persevere. ”

Cuizhu heard Xia Xue'er's words clearly this time, her tone was full of sadness, she was stunned for a while, the tongs in her hand stopped in mid-air, and the silver frost charcoal she was holding fell to the ground, and she woke up with a "pop" sound. sighed, put down the tongs, turned his head to look at Xia Xue'er's lonely back, and said in a firm tone: "You must persevere, not only to avenge Xianglan, but also to sweep away future troubles and earn yourself a prosperous future!" ”

After Xia Xue'er heard Cuizhu's words, she wanted to laugh, but she couldn't laugh, but a breath of air poured out of her nose, as if she sneered, and then said: "Sweep away the troubles? As long as you live in this world for a day, there will be a day of trouble, there will be constant troubles, how can it be swept away? ”

Cuizhu stood up, walked out of the room, stood beside Xia Xue'er, looked at her side face and said, "Miss, you once said that you can lose if you live for a lifetime, but you can't admit defeat!" ”

Xia Xue'er didn't answer, just blindly looked at the open space in a daze. Cuizhu said: "Miss has always been optimistic and positive, even in the face of problems, she is not afraid to face difficulties, now what's wrong?" ”

Xia Xue'er shook her head and said in a low tone: "I don't know why, I came back alone, I thought a lot along the way, and suddenly I felt tired. ”

"On that day, you told the slave that you must avenge Xianglan, no matter who the mastermind behind the scenes is, you will definitely dig her out, and make her regret what she did, and pay for her blood debt! But it's only been a few days, is the young lady going to retreat? ”

Xia Xue'er was like a flying dragon that had been touched by the scales, she turned her head with a flame in her eyes, and said loudly: "No! I said I would do it! No matter what the cost, she will not be let go! ”

Cui Zhu paused for a moment, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, since the young lady's revenge heart did not change, what did Fang Cai's words mean? Tired? Why?

Xia Xue'er took a deep breath and gradually calmed down the excitement in her chest. Turning to look up at the dark night sky, the crescent moon hung high overhead, without a star to accompany it, the moonlight was not soft, a little more cold and lonely.

"Maybe everyone's fate has been arranged by Changsheng Tian a long time ago, and it is not so light that it can be rewritten, those who go against the sky will inevitably pay a painful price, and Xianglan is a living and bloody example."

After a pause, he continued: "I can't let you take risks for me, I don't want anyone to give up their lives for me, I don't have the right to take anyone's life, it's so precious!" ”

Cuizhu also looked up at the night sky and said slowly: "Since Changshengtian has already arranged a qiē, then the young lady doesn't need to blame herself, because this is our fate." It is destined that we will serve Miss all our lives, no matter whether it is the sword mountain or the sea of fire, we are destined to accompany you! ”

Cuizhu's tone was a little more free and firm, as if she was not admonishing Xia Xue'er, but just stating a fact, a fact that she had already identified. In her opinion, her name is Xia Xue'er's, and dying for her is not a sacrifice, but an honor, a pride and pride!

Xia Xue'er turned her head to look at Cuizhu, with mixed feelings in her heart. Thinking of what Su Qi said when he was on the street in the afternoon, he felt that the burden on his body was heavier for a while. In the past, she thought that she was only burdened with her fate, but now she suddenly realized that she still had other people's hopes and sustenance.

Friends in the real sense should not only be built on an equal basis, like her and Cuizhu, and Su Qi, this is also a friend in the real sense, they don't plan to get any benefits from her, they just want her to live well, and will not hesitate to sacrifice themselves for this goal, without her gratitude Dade, without asking her for anything in return, this is a friend, a friend in the real sense!

Thinking of this, Xia Xue'er suddenly became enlightened, in fact, she is not alone, nor lonely, in the face of life, she is not spending it alone, and in the face of calculation, she is not fighting alone! After thinking about it, the life of Xia Mansion is not as miserable as Fang Cai thought, thinking about it carefully, my mind is full of happy fragments, distress is just a shadow, how can there be no shadow where there is sunshine?

She is not "boiling" life, but "living" life. After figuring it out, Xia Xue'er looked at Cuizhu with no sadness in her eyes, for her sake, for them, she must live well in this strange dynasty!

Why bother to get rid of the people around you who care about you? Working together may be the key to victory.

"After a day of tossing, I'm really hungry."

Cuizhu smiled slightly and replied, "Miss, wait a little longer, the cook is already cooking, and it won't be long before you can eat." ”

Another cold wind hit, and the lanterns hanging in the cloister flickered, extinguishing two, Xia Xue'er shivered, shrunk her neck and said, "Let's go in, this west wind blows me a headache!" ”

Cuizhu hurriedly helped Xia Xue'er into the house.

The brazier in the room was burning very strongly, the blue-purple flames were swaying, and a steady stream of heat swept through the room, like a warm spring. Xia Xue'er took off her big coat, untied the wool collar brocade cloak, and left only a moon-blue embroidered floor-length skirt, sat by the fire, and cooked fragrant tea. It can be seen that the mood is really good.

Dongmei brought a basin of hot water into the house, sprinkled a few dried rose petals on it, at this moment has already absorbed water and opened, full, gorgeous, fragrant, as if freshly picked.

"Miss is blowing the cold wind under the porch, I think it's freezing, come and warm your hands!"

Qiu Ju also led the maidservant girl to the dinner, and the delicacies were scattered, seducing Xia Xue'er's empty stomach, all of which she loved to eat, and the jade balls were her favorite! Xia Xue'er quickly cleaned her hands and sat down to eat.

After eating, Xia Xueer sat contentedly by the charcoal fire, drinking tea leisurely, and chatting with the girls one by one. Suddenly, I felt a surge in my body, and I couldn't help frowning.

Xia Xue'er could feel that her body temperature was constantly rising, and something was dissipating from the dantian to all directions, melting into the blood, and flowing down the blood to the rest of the body. She immediately realized that this was a symptom of poisoning, and hurriedly adjusted her breathing, using internal force to force the poison out, but she didn't know what kind of poison it was, but it could withstand the surging internal force in her body, and the more she used the internal force, the faster it spread, followed by a wave of surging heat eroding her body, her head was dizzy, and her eyes were gradually hazy.

Cuizhu first sensed that something was wrong with Xia Xue'er, and when she saw her red cheeks and fine beads of sweat on her forehead, she asked anxiously, "Miss, do you feel unwell?" ”

Dongmei and Qiu Ju were talking energetically, when they suddenly heard Cuizhu's words, they stopped, and looked at Xia Xue'er together, only to find that her frowning brows and the sweat left on her cheeks were shocked.

The toxicity diverged, Xia Xue'er was a little unstable, her body swayed left and right, and the nearest Cuizhu hurriedly got up to support her swaying delicate body, only to find that her clothes had been soaked with sweat, and there was no dry place at the neckline!

At this time, a girl came to report, "Li Gongzi asks to see?" ”

Xia Xue'er bracked up her body and asked weakly, "Which Li Gongzi is it?" ”

"Miss Hui, it's Li Zongyang's son."

After hearing this, Xia Xue'er wondered, why did he come? What did he come to do? But the brain didn't listen to the call, and he was only groggy and about to lose consciousness.

The girl was outside the house and couldn't hear Xia Xue'er's instructions, so she asked again, "Does Miss want to invite Li Gongzi in?" ”

“……”

Xia Xue'er had lost her rationality, only felt weak, and her whole body was paralyzed on Cuizhu's body.

Cuizhu said to the door: "You go and tell Mr. Li, Miss is ill and it is not suitable to see guests, so let him come back another day if he has something." ”

"Yes."

After the maidservant left, Cuizhu picked up Xia Xue'er and walked towards the bed, but she was also a weak woman after all, how could she support all the weight of Xia Xue'er, especially at this moment, Xia Xue'er's body became more and more disobedient, and her feet fell down in both directions as soon as her feet were weak, thanks to Ding Mei and Qiu Ju's quick eyes, and when the two of them were about to make intimate contact with the ground, they supported Xia Xue'er's paralyzed body.

finally placed Xia Xue'er on the bed, looking at her face distorted by pain and her small hands clenched into iron fists, sweating like rain because she tried her best to suppress the toxic deprivation consciousness, and roared in her throat. Cuizhu immediately understood. Coincidentally, there was a crisp knock on the door at this moment, and Li Zongyang said outside the door: "I heard that the third lady suddenly contracted a disease, and she knows a little about medical skills, can you take a look?" ”

Dongmei seemed to see hope, and said happily: "Yes, yes!" This was about to open the door, Cuizhu hurriedly grabbed her, shook her head and said to the door: "My young lady is in good health, she has taken medicine and rested, so let's go." ”

"Isn't the girl a doctor who can't be trusted?"

"Childe thinks about it a lot, my young lady just has a headache, and now she has fallen asleep, it is inconvenient to see Childe, besides, this is a backyard, if someone sees Childe staying here, spreading it will not only damage the reputation of my young lady, but also be detrimental to Childe's good career."

After Dongmei and Qiu Ju heard this, they looked at Cuizhu with a puzzled expression, Miss was obviously in pain at the moment, and it happened that Li Gongzi knew how to heal, so why couldn't Li Gongzi come in to see a doctor, in case he knew the prescription for healing?

"It's abrupt, farewell."

Cuizhu waited for no sound outside the door, and then hurriedly said to Dongmei: "Miss, this person has been poisoned, you can't go to the doctor indiscriminately, you go and report to Mrs. quickly!" ”
