The imperial city was sluggish, and the snow came from the north and stopped when it fell to the south.

The first snow of the year was a small grain of snow, and after a long night, when the wind blew it, it was covered with a thick layer.

At the northernmost end of the imperial city, the court is long and narrow, the gray wall is solemn, and a road leads straight into the distance

Where does it lead?

Ah Jiu didn't know that she had never stepped out of that door, her hand was heavy, she shook her head slightly, and dragged a wooden barrel taller than her in the snow with difficulty.

I heard Mama say that there can be no snow on the road in the Miyagi in the south, not even snow slag, let alone slip - "Otherwise, the nobles should bend their waists, slip, and never turn over for the rest of their lives", this is Mama's original words.

Elegant?

They are so lonely and desolate here that they don't even come to fly, all the people who come are dead or about to die, even Mama has never seen a nobleman, no, the night three days ago, the one who was carried over can be regarded as a nobleman, right?

Even though he was covered in blood, his mouth and nose were bleeding, and he couldn't open his eyes, he still looked like a nobleman - wearing a white silk robe, with a high nose and nose, thin and curved eyebrows, like the moon on the first day, a soft voice, broad shoulders and long legs, even if he was lying on a straw stalk, his back was straight.

But Mama said that he is not a nobleman, "At best, he is a dog beside the nobleman, a ninth-rate lowly breed, and he is a drag on people when he lives, and he will be burned when he dies, and the ashes burned can be used as nourishment for my flowers." This is also Mama's original words.

It's a snowy day. Ah Jiu was covered in sweat. My heart was as bitter as drinking a stomach of coptis water.

What did he do wrong? If you're dead, you're gone. He had to be burned, and the countryside said that after death, people are burned to ashes, and in the next life, they will enter the animal path, and they will be cattle and horses in the next life.

It's a shame that such a good sound.

"Ah Jiu, Ah Jiu! The new one won't work! You go collect the corpse! ”

It's Mama's voice.

Ah Jiu answered "sigh", neatly put the wooden barrel away, wiped his hands on his pocket, and trotted over.

When I pushed the door, I saw the man leaning on the edge of the bed and coughing. The hair is long and covered, because of the long dead people, every room in the North Garden will be covered with a black veil for a long time, saving the need to take it down and sew it up all year round.

The light was dim, and the room was full of sweet and bloody gas, Ah Jiu was stunned at the door, and when he came back to his senses, he trotted in, helped the man smooth his back, and whispered: "Father-in-law, lie down first, what do you want to take?" Ah Jiu will help you get it."

The man's cough grew heavier. His hands were clasped on the edge of the bed, and the green tendons were highlighted.

Father-in-law?

Oh, yes. Only the masters in the palace are men, and the other men are not men, and if they have no life, they can only be counted as eunuchs.

He went completely, which can be regarded as another good thing he did for the Duan family, right?

"My surname is Duan"

After saying three words, there was another sharp cough.

Ah Jiu was in a panic, and hurriedly went to the man's back again, telling him not to speak first.

The man leaned half of his body on Ah Jiu's body, covered his mouth with his hands and coughed, coughing so much that his heart and lungs were about to come out, coughing so that the injuries all over his body were implicated, and he was numb in pain, he took a deep breath, plucked up all his strength and wanted to open his eyes, it was about a cold winter day, blood and tears were frozen, he tried it, exhausted his strength, hot tears welled up in his eyes, and he sang softly.

"The little nun is twenty-eight years old, and her hair was cut off by the master when she was young, I am a man, not a woman."

The man's voice was soft, Ah Jiu's body trembled slightly, and his eyes were sour, but when he heard the man's voice getting quieter, he leaned his head closer to listen, and Fang Daze heard a few small voices.

"My name is Duan Rusheng, Sheng Xiao's sheng is not called Duan Xiaoyi, there is only one person in this world, who has called me Xiaoyi gently, but he doesn't know. How I hope that he can call me like a sheng, a sheng, a sheng, a sheng, a hundred miles"

The voice fell lower and lower, Ah Jiu didn't understand the meaning, but he cried and trembled.

Most of the people who died had a return to the light.

He's going to die, right?

Duan Xiaoyi's voice gradually lowered, the hot tears washed away the blood scabs, his eyes opened a slit, and the actinization fell into little by little stars in his eyes, and finally became a milky white piece.

Duan Xiaoyi's hand groped on the edge of the bed, and finally shook Ah Jiu's hand, and took a breath: "Dad is a good gamble, he lost our family's tiled house and land, my younger brother wants to study, you want to get married, I am the eldest brother, what can I do if I don't sell my body to pay off my debts, but my younger brother is a scholar, you can't have a ninth-rate brother, you can't shrink your breath and marry the family they found for you, the household registration is all the best, you are better, you are better, your brother is looking at you, you must live well, you must get ahead, If the people above don't take our lives as their lives, we must become masters."

Duan Xiaoyi opened one eye half-open, closed one eye tightly, his face was dark, and the exhaled breath was cold.

Ah Jiu was not afraid, he held it with his hand behind his back, biting his lip to prevent the cry from overflowing.

"I, I, my name is Duanduan"

In the end, before he could say a word, Duan Xiaoyi's eyes widened, his legs stretched out, and he said goodbye to the world.

Ah Jiu said "wow", raised his head and opened his mouth to cry, saying that he couldn't wake up, but he still tried to pick up his words.

"Rusheng! Your name is Duan Rusheng! ”

The snow is misty, and the white sky and the ground are pressed together, so clean.

In the Chongwen Pavilion, Xingzhao looked out of the window lattice, and in the blink of an eye, another piece of snow fell on the edge, and it didn't take long to turn into a small pool of water vapor.

No matter how difficult things are, the dust can settle in the end, Ying Yi is like this, and the four princes are like this, but when the dust settles, the truth under the snowy blanket cover, no one knows.

Xingzhao sighed softly, came back to his senses, and didn't look out of the window lattice.

In winter, the peach blossom paper that pasted the window lattice was removed, and it was replaced with several large pieces of glass that could block the wind and cover the cold, saying that it was colored glass, but in fact it was just newly fired glass, and everything in the palace had to be the best, and if the best could not be used, the title on the bright side must also be the best.

The earth dragon of Chongwen Hall is burned red, and Mr. Chang talks about "You Bao Zen Mountain" on it, and his words are always long and slow.

Fortunately, the three little ladies who taught the homework were all gentle-tempered masters, and they all put their hands on the desk and listened to him read in a proper manner

Mr. Chang raised his eyes, his eyes swept over Gu Qingchen, and remembered the rumors that Fengyi Hall punished kneeling that day, even if they were not all mild-mannered, they were all willing to do superficial things

"Sir!"

The long reading was interrupted, Huan Yi held the ring ruler and raised it, Mr. Chang put the book and motioned for her to continue, the little lady pursed her lips and smiled, and pointed to the outside of the window lattice: "I guess the mother and the queen have something to do, right?" Someone came to pick us up."

Xing Zhao looked out along his fingertips, but saw a tall man, wearing a navy blue jacket and a long shirt, holding an oil-paper umbrella in one hand, and an oil-paper umbrella in the other hand, Zhou Shen, the sixth prince, stood on the steps generously, raised his head from afar, and smiled at Xing Zhaoqing.

Mr. Chang looked back and looked at the leakage, and with a wave of his hand, he let go of the little lady's learning, and only instructed two sentences, "The beauty of the mountains and rivers in the world is more than the stars in the sky, and the beauty of the travelogue lies in the exploration of the predecessors The stamens are subtle, and the flower stalks are straight, all of which are beautiful."

Mr. Chang likes to stay in the church, and he still has to talk about two sentences at this time.

Xingzhao pursed his lips and smiled, and buried himself in packing up the books.

Gu Qingchen packed up and walked in front quickly, and Xingzhao watched her give a deep blessing to the six princes with lotus steps, and the corners of her eyebrows and eyes were smiling, and she didn't know what she was saying.

Huan Yi put the book on the table, didn't accept it, pulled Xingzhao and walked out quickly, and took the umbrella of the sixth prince with a smile: "Is the mother concubine looking for me?" ”

The sixth prince handed the umbrella to Huanyi, and held up another one: "Mrs. Pingxi Hou has entered the palace, and the queen mother is thinking about the time to get out of school. ”

Gu Qingchen moved his steps and leaned here, and the sixth prince smiled again: "Is there anything else wrong with the Gu family's sister?" The queen said that the morning of Cihe Palace was a little bad, and the sister of the Gu family didn't need to go back to take a look? ”

Gu Qingchen was stunned, then leaned over and smiled: "I want it", the maid opened the umbrella, changed into her little boots and walked out.

As soon as Xiao Gu left, Xingzhao could feel that Huan Yi's whole body was relaxed.

There were only two umbrellas, Huan Yi took one, and the six princes had one in their hands, Xingzhao asked Lianyu to take the umbrella out, and before he could speak, he heard the voice of the six princes, "The snow is strong and the wind is urgent, the county lord of Wenyang should hold an umbrella with Shen, it is far away, and what Bao Buqi said was blown away by the wind." ”

What was he going to say to her?

Xingzhao raised his eyes, thought about it, and bent his knees to bless his body: "Since the snow is strong and the wind is urgent, His Royal Highness Duan Wang's daughter's body, if it is blown cold by the wind, Ah Yu will not be able to escape the blame." As soon as he spoke, Lianyu knew that the umbrella was unfurled, Xingzhao leaned in, and turned around with a smile to greet: "Let's go quickly, didn't Sister Huanyi say that she was hungry?" ”

Huan Yi raised her eyebrows and looked at the six princes, and lowered her voice: "Sixth, your name is Shen."

Before the words landed, Huan Yi took over Xingzhao's words with a smile and chased after him with an umbrella.

The six princes stood in silence in the corridor, and after a long time, they grinned, held the handle of the umbrella, and finally followed.

All the way through the wind and snow, Lianyu held the umbrella and forged ahead, Xingzhao walked under the umbrella with the stove in his hand, and halfway through, Huan Yi remembered that the book was still on the case and did not take it, and he did not let the palace people take it, just let them not wait for her, "Since Mrs. Pingxi Hou is here, and the mother concubine is also there, you can go quickly, only one, leave me some rouge duck breast at noon."
