Soon, after the New Year, Ruosheng was a year older.

In the early morning of the first day of the new year, she stood under the skylight, looking at the red crumbs, smelling the faint smell of sulfur and gunpowder, and unconsciously remembered the day she opened her eyes and woke up. In the same New Year, the air seems to be filled with the remaining smell of the New Year, and the joy on everyone's faces has not yet dissipated.

She lay in the warm quilt, looking at the tent above her head with her eyes wide open, embroidered with entwined branches and lotuses, with fine stitches, realistic and vivid.

But such a tent, such a trick, such a craft......

She hadn't seen her in years.

She clearly realized that she was dead, died in the spring of the second year of Qitai, died in the small courtyard of the poor and simple Badeng Lane, but when she opened her eyes, she saw such a tent. The quilt covered with his body was heavy, incense, and very thick. The house was burned with a dragon on the ground, and it was warm, as if it was in summer.

All of this is completely different from the days in Badeng Alley.

Facing the shimmer of the hand, the ten fingers are slender, white and weak, the palm lines are clear, and the nails are round and clean after trimming.

There are no scars, no broken nails, and no bitterness.

She thought it was a dream she had after she died.

But when she reached out and opened the corner of the tent, and tilted her head to look out, she saw at a glance the servant girl sitting on the stool and dozing.

In the dim light, the man sitting on the stool lowered his head and his eyebrows were hazy.

It's like a dummy.

However, at the moment of hesitation, Ruosheng heard her breathing.

Gentle and shallow.

Dusty past and memories. It came like a flood bursting its banks.

The Lianjia mansion in Pingkangfang, her former residence Muxi Garden, the corners and corners are all as clear as yesterday.

She clutched the corner of the tent, and gradually her hands and feet became cold, her whole body stiffened, and her breathing was heavy. Then as soon as her hand was released, she slammed into the bedpost with a "bang", and the pain swept over her heart in an instant, and she gasped.

It's not a dream!

At the same time, the night-time maid who was sleeping lightly was also awakened by the loud noise. Jumping up from the stool with sleepy eyes open. He turned his head to look at the bed with a flattering face: "Girl? ”

The voice is crisp and slightly sleepy.

It's red cherry blossoms.

She recognized the voice, and the heart in her chest fell, and the pain on the back of her hand disappeared, but her face turned white little by little.

She couldn't figure it out. I'm obviously dead. How did you live again?

But this is full of doubts. No one can figure it out.

She stumbled all the way, fell and got up, got up and fell. Step by step, it has come to this day.

At this moment, looking up at the sky, I saw the blue sky and white clouds, and before I knew it, it was already a year.

She let out a long sigh of relief and turned around and went to Mingyue Hall.

Shaoqing entered the door, and as soon as Zhu saw her, he stuffed a lucky orange into her hand.

The rules in the south of the Yangtze River are that you have to eat lucky oranges on the morning of the first day of the first lunar month, but the north does not pay attention to these.

Ruosheng took the orange and peeled it, broke off a petal and put it in his mouth, which was sweet and cool. Zhu smiled and said: "Xinzheng has eaten Fu Tangerine, Ah Jiu will be blessed with good luck this year, and he will be smooth." ”

Ruosheng also laughed when he heard these auspicious words, and asked Ruoling if he woke up?

Zhu Shi said angrily: "That little demon star, he woke up before dawn, babbling and refusing to sleep, making a lot of noise." ”

Ruosheng was overjoyed when he heard the words, and accompanied her to say a few words and went to the inner room to see Ruoling.

The child who was out of confinement seemed to be white and fat again, lying in the rocking car, his eyes blinking black and bright.

She grabbed the peeled orange and shook it in front of his eyes, smiled and asked, "Do you want to eat it?" ”

Xiao Ruoling couldn't speak, so he just stared at the orange and pouted, puffing two bubbles.

It's like wanting to eat.

Ruosheng couldn't help laughing, and he ate all the oranges.

……

On the day of the Shangyuan Festival, she ran to Ruoling's rocking car with a bowl of Lantern Festival, and asked him with a smile: "Do you want to eat?" ”

Xiao Ruoling still couldn't speak, staring at the bowls and spoons, and her mouth was pouted as if she was crying.

Ruosheng sighed: "When will you grow up......

She pinched the spoon, sighed and slowly ate up another bowl of Lantern Festival, and then hurriedly "escaped" while Ruoling was not crying. When she returned to Muxi Garden, it happened that Hu Qiuniang was coming to look for her, so she stood still under the porch and asked with a smile, "What's wrong?" ”

"Miss Mu just sent someone to give you a post, inviting you to watch the lights tonight." Hu Qiuniang bowed and replied with a smile.

The streets are full of lanterns tonight, and according to custom, you should go to the street to see the lights.

Ruosheng was originally a little excited, but somehow she couldn't keep up her spirits, and she didn't have the intention of going out to see the lights, but since Mu Jingyao invited her, there was no reason not to go, so she instructed Hu Qiuniang: "Send someone to reply, I should answer this post." ”

Hu Qiuniang answered yes and retreated first.

When the twilight is four, if the raw food is rough, it will be dressed up by Mother Wu and others. She doesn't like tossing, and even her hairstyle has ordered someone to choose a simple comb, but it is rare that she is interested today, and a group of people will change their methods to let her change into a new shirt, apply grease and powder.

It was Wu's mother who said, the girl is young and has a good color, where do you need so much fat powder to rub on your face, so everyone gave up.

Ruosheng was a little lazy, looked at himself in the mirror, and said nonchalantly: "It's okay to wipe it or not, it's okay not to be ugly." ”

Who knew that when she was about to go out, Hu Qiuniang suddenly hurriedly stuffed a letter for her, saying that Miss Mu had just sent it.

Ruosheng was confused, I don't know why Mu Jingyao clearly told him when and where to meet, why did she send someone to send a letter, didn't she regret it? She frowned slightly and opened the letter, there were only two short sentences on it, she read it at a glance, and then her face changed, and she suddenly asked, "What about the clothes just now?" ”

The grapes were stunned when they heard this, and before they could react, she had already stood up from the chair first: "Go and get it, I want to change it!" ”

Grape was secretly surprised, thinking that the girl's front feet thought that the dress was too protruding and refused to wear it, why did she change her mind in a blink of an eye?

Puzzled, she went to fetch her clothes, but when she saw that her girl did not say a word, she quickly put them on, and then ordered, "Go and fetch the bracelets." ”

Wu's mother hurriedly hugged the jewelry box.

Ruosheng put on the bracelet and went out.

But when she got to the door, she frowned, and turned back to remove the bracelet.

After tossing back and forth for a while, I finally went out.

Outside, the sky was dark, without stars and moon, but the street was full of lanterns that illuminated the surroundings, as if it were day. The carriage walked as fast as it did in the daytime, and after a few turns in a row, it finally stopped.

Ruosheng sat in the carriage and didn't go down, but leaned against the window and lifted the curtain to look out.

As far as the eye can see, there is a large tree.

The sprouts are unsprouted and bare.

There was a man standing with his back to the trunk of a tree, looking lazy and looking obscure. (To be continued.) )
