Chapter 190: The Next Day Manor (一一)
A woman called Aunt Huang gave me a dry shirt, and after changing in Miss You's room, I accidentally looked at the rhombic glasses on the dresser, and I couldn't take my eyes off it anymore, and I was shocked and speechless. (Fengwu Literature Network http://www.qiuwu.net.)

The face in the mirror is as white as jade, deceiving the frost and snow, a pair of eyebrows resembling the curved willow leaves of midspring, and the color is like the smoke-dyed distant mountains and Daize. Those dark and bright eyes have often been seen in dreams, always accompanied by the long curly eyelashes of the crescent moon, flickering and conveying joy, anger and sorrow to me.
I looked at these eyes in a daze, and she also looked at me in a daze, her eyes were surprised and dazed, but even the blurred eyes were so beautiful, like clouds and deep water, with excellent charm.
With trembling hands, I walked towards the mirror in disbelief and held my cheek. Although this face has never been seen, it is not unfamiliar, with the eyebrows and shadows of the crescent moon, the radiant spirit of the father, the peerless charm of the mother, and the elegance and clarity of the aunt.
I slowly touched my ear, slid against the arc of my jaw and slid towards my neck, rubbing for a long time, convinced that I had not touched the thin line, not a human skin mask.
Crescent moon......
I looked at her with a mutter, reached out and touched the eyebrows in the mirror, and all the memories seemed to be clear in an instant, and they flashed through my mind like a lightning speed. The voice and smile of my father and mother, the laughter and scolding in daily life, the quaint wooden courtyard building in the village, and my aunt holding me, gently dropping a kiss on my forehead, crying and telling me that in order to protect me, I want to use the ancient witch to cover me with turbidity, and use the blurred bones of my father who was shattered by the Tianzun Cuimin Sword.
This turbid breath of mine is covered with my father's flesh and blood......
The door was slammed open, and Miss You impatiently stepped in: Hey! I knocked on the door for a long time and there was no response, you are dead...... What happened to you? Why are you crying?
Wiping away tears, I looked back, looked at her, and shook my head: I'm fine.
She stared at my face and sighed with envy: Who are you? Ordinary people can't produce such a beautiful girl as you.
I sniffed: Ordinary people?
She walked over to the round table, poured herself a glass of water, picked it up and said in a matter-of-fact manner, "Yes." Generally, the powerful and wealthy will look for beautiful women, and the sons born continue to look for beautiful women, and the descendants of those who are powerful and rich will become more and more beautiful. Of course, ordinary people are not without beauty, but there is definitely no one as good-looking as you, you say, what are you from?
I paused, frowned, and said, "You're right, but most of the people in the world are accumulating. Most of the children left behind are scourges. A child born with a spoon of brocade. There are few people who keep money. Looking at the past and looking at the present, the poor can extend to the descendants, but the rich are sad for five generations, and once these brocade clothes and jade eaters fall from a height. Even the villagers in the market and ordinary people are not as good as the ability to make a living. At this time, most of the men are beggars, and the women will show their voices, and their descendants have not been reduced to ordinary families?
Her expression was rigid, like eating a fly, she was stunned, and shook her head twice: How can you be so eloquent, I found that I really can't talk about you, can't you have a good chat with me?
I paused slightly. After realizing it, he realized that he did talk a lot, as if he was being picked up by Fu Shaoen and Master at the same time.
Don't look over, look at yourself in the mirror, blink your eyes twice, and suddenly understand.
White jade is the strongest aura among witchcraft. And the most abundant in Ansheng Lake is white jade, I think my turbidity has been purified by white jade in the past six years. Now that there is no turbidity, not only has I regained my appearance, but also my mind is clear and pure.
Looking at his hands with low eyebrows, the basic fist and foot kung fu that my master couldn't teach me before, I also used it unintentionally. I practiced so many times at the beginning, I thought I couldn't learn it, but I didn't think I would remember it.
Miss You put down the teacup: Talking to you, what are you thinking? What's your name?
What's the name?
I touched my face, the ninth day of the first month is my birthday, every year on my birthday, Wangyun Mountain will be overflowing with the fragrance of plum, that is the most nostalgic scene in my heart, especially the jade flute boy in white clothes like snow under the plum forest, the white and flawless handsome face always has to pretend to be a crazy and disdainful look.
This awkward young man, he is as cold as snow, but fragrant as a plum, thinking of him, I smiled slightly: My name is Xuemei.
Xuemei?
I was born in the month of Layue, and there were many plum blossoms when I was born. After a pause, I looked at her and smiled again: Do you still need people here? I'll stay, just take care of my three meals.
When I stepped out of the door, the sun was shining on my body, warm and warm, and the busy people around me continued to be busy, but their eyes often inadvertently fixed on my face.
Following Miss You, she took her to the backyard, and on the way she turned around and said: You really don't want to be paid?
I nodded: those aunts in the manor also came spontaneously, helping these victims is just doing their best, if they want to be paid, it is too unjust.
She bit her lip: Actually, I want you to serve my sister, she is too tired.
I can help take care of her.
After all, helping to take care of is not the same as serving, didn't you find that your name is quite suitable for being a maid? When your father and mother took this name, maybe they expected this day?
I gave her a faint look: You can't speak.
Why don't you think about it again and I'll give you some more wages?
I shook my head: I can't be a docile and well-behaved maid who can be beaten and scolded.
I'm just telling the truth, the maid is paid, if she doesn't do well or the lady doesn't go well, she can only endure being beaten and scolded. But my stinky temper will only be unlucky for whoever is my miss. But this girl insisted on thinking that I was born into a famous family, so she immediately pursed the corners of her mouth with disdain, and muttered in a low voice: You have fallen into this appearance, and you are still pretending to be arrogant, do you think you are still the eldest lady in the same brocade clothes and jade food as before.
But it didn't take long for her to be so impressed with me that not only her, but also all the aunts in the backyard who were disdainful of me at the first sight of me.
When I arrived in the backyard, I first boiled water and cooked dishes with a few aunts. Because I'm not afraid of hot water, I brushed this bowl quickly, which really saved them a lot of time. After that, the laundry is washed, and the laundry is also soaked in hot water. After that, whether it's brushing the floor and wiping the table, or cleaning up the dead room, it's not too difficult for me. However, there are exceptions, which are sewing and mending clothes.
I thought that my mind was clear, and I could do this easily, and I didn't want to wear a needle and thread, so I almost wore myself into a cross-eyed. Zhang Erniang couldn't look at it, smiled and threaded the thread into the pinhole for me, but I lost people again when I sewed clothes, and kept poking my hand, and finally recognized the current situation, I really am not this material.
Throwing down the clothes of no one else, I got up and said, "I'll go boil water and decoction medicine."
When I walked away, I heard them start to talk about me, saying that I was beautiful and fragrant, with fine skin and tender meat, but I didn't expect to be able to endure hardships so much, and I was really a good girl.
Sitting down in front of the stove in the back kitchen, their voices could still be faintly heard. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise a smile, it turned out that he could really be deaf and clear after his mind was clear, so when he was in the second and first day, I said bad things about Yang Xiuyi in front of Xiangzhu at every turn, wouldn't he have heard it clearly, he liked me so much at that time, he must have been very depressed. I have to say a word about him almost every once in a while, and I even blame him for being bitten by a mosquito, he is really innocent.
Leaning against the mud wall, looking at the flames in the stove, the soft part of my heart that was deliberately hidden was quietly disintegrating, and when I realized it, my face was wet for some time.
After a busy day, go back to your room and rest. At noon, when Aunt Huang brought me in, she said that someone had just died here, and asked me if I was afraid, but I was naturally not afraid, and I gladly accepted it and cleaned it up inside and out. This will be my room in the future, and I will finally not have to sleep in the open and wander.
Lying on the bed, holding the soft pillow that I had not seen for a long time, I could sleep as well as I could, but my heart was tumbling like a tide at this time, so that it was difficult to fall asleep over and over. I finally fell asleep in a daze, but it didn't take long for me to have a dream.
In my dream, the sun was mild, the wind was clear, I was wearing a long skirt of light purple yarn, snuggling Yang Xiuyi's arm and walking on the street covered with flowers and brocade, people along the way were throwing flower petals and candy at me, and some were even applauding and cheering with tears in their eyes.
I hugged Yang Xiuyi's arm and shook excitedly: Look, I said I'm a great beauty, the two of us are a match made in heaven, you kiss me, we are a good match.
He stretched out his hand and scratched my nose, like the morning when he came out of the temple, and said dotingly: Which beauty is so reserved.
When I woke up, I looked at the old wooden window, my heart was sour, and I thought that the state of mind of rebirth after death would be different from the past, but I didn't think that I could still have such naïve and naïve dreams. However, it can only be a dream.
If I had been restored to this face seven years ago, would he have been as amazed by my appearance as those men?
Imagine him staring at my face, his eyes like a pool of thick ink that cannot be dissolved, painting my facial features into a picture scroll in his heart, engraved forever, never forgotten. That was truly a supreme happiness and wonder for me.
It's a pity, it can only be imagined, he has seen so many beauties, I'm afraid he has long been surprised.
It's a pity that things don't always go according to people's expectations, and he and I should never meet again.
As soon as the canopy outside the window turned white, someone knocked on my door and told me to get up and work.
Holding a wooden basin to the backyard to fetch water, Ruan Niang and Aunt Huang stood outside the side door, as if waiting for someone. When I returned to my room after washing my face, there was a wagon outside the door, and many strong men carried supplies back and forth.
Yesterday, I listened to them chatting and knew that someone was helping here, so I looked at them twice and kept walking.
After walking away, I suddenly heard a familiar female voice shouting: Miss!
There was a sound of running and my arm was pulled back. The light kite raised her eyes, and the joy in her eyes faded like waves after seeing my face: I'm sorry, I recognized the wrong person......
