Chapter 90: The Princess

The red note's eyes sparkled, it was the bloodthirsty desire to see the most favorite prey, "No wonder...... I should have thought that the so-called Xiao Gu was actually a spin-off of the word Gu Yue from the surname "Hu", and took the first word as his fake name - Third Sister, you are really a good Lan Xin, and you are thoughtful! ”

The light and darkness of the fire fold flickered, and the shadow of the person dragged on the ground, shaking into various thick black shadows with the tongue of fire, and an invisible cold wind blew in from the top of the head, and the faint white smoke continued to diffuse, and from time to time there were sparks splashing down.

Xiao Gu patted the wooden box crumbs on his body and raised his eyes to look at the red note, "When did you recognize me?" ”

Her voice was calm, neither high nor low, but it implied the danger and coldness before the storm.

"The first time we met, I didn't expect it to be you at all, we have been separated for many years, we have grown up separately, plus the third sister, you learned from Mrs. Miao Jiang's ninth-rate things, you can become another person by smearing on your face, who can recognize your true face?"

"The second time we met, you were leaving, and I grabbed your sleeve, but I accidentally saw the scar on your wrist - wasn't that the same one you fell into the pond and was cut by a stone when you were a child? I remember that scar very well, so I recognized it as you right away!! ”

Hongjian sneered, "After many years of absence, I didn't expect to meet here again - I didn't expect that sister, you actually joined the Jinlan Club!" ”

She looked at Xiao Gu's ordinary and blandly appearance, her eyes were sharp but a little sneering, "There are no outsiders here, why doesn't my sister show her original appearance?" ”

"Seeing that my original face is only a dead person, you really want to go down to the underworld to try?"

Xiao Gu replied in a low voice, but the killing coldness around his body made people feel like being immersed in ice and snow, and the whole person was cold from head to toe.

Hongjian covered his lips and smiled when he heard this, his eyes flashed and his skin was like snow, it was really amorous, "It's really a little conscienceless...... If my father knew that we could be reunited after many years, I don't know how happy I would be! ”

One is the word father. But I saw two bright fires rising in Xiao Gu's dark eyes—they were love and hate, nostalgia and contempt like molten water...... There are many complex entanglements, and they erupt into fire in this eye wave, but they condense into ice.

Father?

What a familiar and unfamiliar name.

"Are you happy...... Heh, are you sure that's not a scare? ”

Xiao Gu suddenly raised his head, and his smile was particularly sarcastic, "One daughter has become a famous flower of the camp prostitute, and the other has become a thief, how happy do you think he should be?" ”

The red note choked for a moment, but quickly picked up a smile, but it was a little bleak and desolate. The circles under his eyes are already red, "My father is a Wenchen style, and he would rather die than surrender to Zhu Di, the king ......of Yan, we are children, and it is inevitable to make some sacrifices."

Xiao Gu interrupted her suddenly, "Do you know the way of the red note, since I was a child, when you lied and hurt others, your eyelashes kept fluttering. ”

Red Note looked at her with wide eyes in surprise, looking innocent and complaining.

"Don't look at me like that. I'm not one of your wronged men, a tear is enough to soften their hearts. ”

Xiao Gu looked at her coldly.

In the middle of the night, the red note suddenly laughed, like a silver bell. Full of charm and cunning -

"Yo, third sister, you have really grown up, as long as I used to use a little trick, you were stupidly fooled. Every time my father scolds you severely, it makes me feel distressed to watch it on the sidelines. ”

"That's because his heart is biased, and he naturally looks at everything."

Xiao Gu unceremoniously revealed the shortcomings of the deceased. "He has never looked down on my mother, and although he is forced to marry her as a wife, he has never given her love and decency—in comparison, you, the daughter of a concubine, can literally walk sideways throughout the house—and you can bully and humiliate me by relying on his favoritism, what do you think is something to show off?"

The red note sneered at each other, "Your mother and daughter are also worthy of putting on a posture in front of me?" I don't want to think that your mother was originally a rough woman from Miao Jiang, where can she compare to my mother's gentle beauty and orchid quality? The reason why my father loves me is that my daughter's red poetry and paintings are all excellent, and she is also one of the best talented girls in all the ladies - what about you, if you are not talented, you will not be good-looking, and you can't be on the stage like your mother!! ”

"So you dare to steal the main house and let me and my mother live in the leaky courtyard in the back garden? The so-called literati style and bones, full of decency and righteousness, but secretly he spoils his concubine and destroys his wife, and only a hypocrite like him can give birth to a daughter like you, you are indeed your biological father and daughter, and the family style has been inherited in one line! ”

"Sure enough, it's an uneducated wild girl, my father has nurturing grace for us, but you are so disobedient and unfilial!"

"The grace of nurturing? Ha...... Hearing you shout this, it's an indescribable irony!! ”

At the very edge of the fire, Xiao Gu's entire face was immersed in dark shadows, and there was no expression to be seen, only she was crisp

The cold voice, word by word, was like a pearl falling to the ground, "My mother and I live in a dark and leaky remote courtyard, we have not seen meat for many years, and we wear patched old dresses, but you live in a wide and bright courtyard, and you call slaves and maids all over your body—even decent slaves, you are better off than us." The grace of nurturing? How dare you say it! ”

Xiao Gu remembered the past years: those shoddy and simple meals, sometimes even rancid; The clothes they wear are only one piece of material a year, and they are often lost by pulling the silk; In the summer, it can be boiled, but in the winter, there is not even a charcoal basin, and it is so cold that people can't shed tears......

And what about the red note?

At that time, her maiden name was Rujian, which was the pearl of her father's palm, and she was bright and beautiful, arrogant and lovely. There are four big maids around her alone, eight second-class maids, and countless rough servants.

The paulownia wood guqin she used was given by Emperor Jianwen, and there was a misty sound of wind and thunder with a slight pluck, and it is said that a song "Spring River Flower Moon" at the gathering of the ladies was the best, and even the queen mother was rewarded.

She has a Shu brocade dark embroidered Yuehua skirt, it is said to be a tribute to the southwest, even the palace lady is difficult to get, at that time she was only less than four years old, curiosity wanted to sneak a little, but was called a thief by the red note, pushed into the pond and almost drowned, choked cough and climbed ashore, but was accused of stealing by his father Hu Yan, and hit forty rattans.

At that time, he passed out, his whole body was burning and cold, and he could only hear his mother's mournful cry for three days and three nights.

Xiao Gu closed his eyes, took a deep breath to end his memories, and said coldly to the red note: "One drink and one peck, it is not predetermined, how much blessing you have enjoyed, how much karma you will have to bear - when the time comes to raid the house and destroy the door, those wolf-like soldiers can send you golden and noble ladies and ladies to the teaching workshop, as for me and my mother...... Because the food and clothing were too shabby, there was not even a person to serve around, so they were sent directly to the slaves and sold at a calculated price. ”

Xiao Gu's words made Red Note's eyes red with anger, and her chest rose and fell violently, but she couldn't say a word to refute it—because these were all truths.

At that time, the situation was very chaotic, the mother and daughter of the red paper only knew that they were crying and begging, and after being tied up and sent to the teaching workshop, they got the bad news that they were about to pick up customers...... All kinds of hardships and sufferings are like waves of evil waves in the sea, which is really breathing. How can there be any energy to care about where the other mother and daughter are sent.

But it turned out that they were not sent to the land of fireworks at all, and they were not reduced to dust......

Strong jealousy mixed with shame and resentment, tumbling and fermenting in the heart of the red note, she stared at Xiao Gu and cursed in a low voice: "

"Do you know how much I have suffered and how many sins I have suffered in the church - but I have not given in, because my father Hu Yan is a scholar, a great talent, and a great hero, and I can't admit defeat to them!! The bustard's mother beat me with a rolling pin, scratched me with a cat, and finally used a flattering medicine to make me surrender, and the dog emperor personally issued an edict to let our fourteen 'culprit families' send them to each camp in turn...... I've suffered all this!! ”

The more she spoke, the more excited she became, she stretched out her hand and pointed at Xiao Gu, and scolded: "And you? You are also the daughter of my Hu family, everyone was born, but you actually lived secretly, and you would rather be regarded as a cheap servant than dare to say your real name - the face of the Hu family has been lost by you!

"Zhu Di's methods are vicious and brutal, I have heard of it, you are suffering, but why don't you live like a year?!"

"The second sister of the Jinlan Society, who was given a powerful house, was played with and abused by her master, her uterus was knocked out by a cane, and even her voice was cut off, and now she can barely speak; When Wang Lin died, his body was covered with scars...... Do you know how many people in the Dao are tortured with humiliation?! ”

Xiao Gu was sarcastic and spicy, looked at the red note and sneered: "As for you...... You don't have to pretend anymore, you don't know how much you hate and complain about your father's dead heart, and you'd rather die than submit to Emperor Yongle, which makes you fall into the dust-"

"You talk nonsense!!"

The red note scolded sharply, but the light in her eyes proved that what Xiao Gu said was true: for so many years, she dreamed back at midnight, in fact, she also hated, she also resented, hated her father for being upright but dragging down her family, and blamed herself for having both talent and appearance but ill-fated - but all this can only be buried in her heart, and she dare not really say it

The red note glared at Xiao Gu, but a pair of beautiful and amazing apricot eyes widened empty and crazy, and her voice was soft and broken, "You are talking nonsense...... I didn't think so, all of this was harmed by the dog emperor, it was all fate, and no one could escape it!!

She woke up from the whispering in an instant, but the gaze that looked at Xiao Gu was even more vicious - the eyes were like the tongue of a poisonous snake, sticky and shuddering, "No, no one can escape!" is also a father's daughter, for what I am going to be sent to the barracks, to be spoiled by those stinky men, but you can escape and get out smoothly! So unfair...... What is this for? (To be continued......)
