Once you enter the Hou Gate, it is as deep as the sea!

This sentence is usually understood as the deep courtyard of the dignitary's house, the door is strictly controlled, it is difficult for ordinary people to enter and exit, and the old friends are alienated and isolated due to the disparity in status.

In fact, this sentence can also be superficially understood, that is, the houses of the wealthy and noble families occupy a huge area, so large that they are about the same size as the parks in the cities of later generations, and some of them are even more than that.

Outside the city of Kaya in Osumi Province, there is a secluded mansion, and outsiders don't know how big this mansion is, but they know that if they don't want to disturb the owner of this family, if they bypass it, they need to run for half an hour to leave the confines of this house.

On the door of this mansion hangs a plaque with four majestic and solemn black characters written on it: Shao Er Courtyard.

If you are lucky enough to walk into this mansion, you will find that the flowers and trees are luxuriant, although it is winter, and there is a lot of snow on the ground, but in the place where the snow is not covered, you can see a blue stone paved road leading into the distance, this road is very long, so long that there is no end in sight, and on both sides of the path are planted pines and cypresses that have existed for an unknown number of years, and each tree cannot be hugged even by a man in the prime of life.

There is a hill at the end of the road, the mountain is not big, but there are several extremely simple buildings among the cypresses on it, and there is a small lake with thousands of square meters at the foot of the mountain, and now the lake has formed a thick layer of ice, but there is an elegant building complex on the island in the center of the lake, and the white gas that comes out of the lake surrounds it, like a fairyland.

A cloister connects the shore of the lake with the island in the center of the lake, on which figures hurried by, and if you look closely, you will see that these are all richly dressed women, but all with solemn faces and cautious faces, and there is not a sound at all when they are hurriedly walking.

Suddenly, there was a loud shout from a seemingly ordinary pavilion, and the sound of items being smashed came out, which made the surrounding women even more frightened, as if a catastrophe was coming, and their delicate faces showed unbearability and worry.

"You actually let me drink such hot tea, do you want to kill me, come on! Drag this down and kill her with a cane ....... ”

"The slave and maid know that they are wrong, please calm the anger of the young master and spare the slave and maid this time!"

"You all want to kill me and the child in your womb, say...... Was there anyone who instructed it, and who were the accomplices? The speaker was a woman wrapped in a white fur, whose belly was already high and bulging, and she had obviously been pregnant for a long time, but her towering belly and short body seemed extremely incongruous.

On the ground not far from this woman lay a trembling girl, wearing a green jacket and long skirt, with a maidservant girl hair bun on her head, she couldn't see her appearance clearly when she lowered her head, but judging from her slender and delicate figure, she must be a beauty.

The cry fell into the ears of the pregnant woman, but there was a hint of murder in her eyes, especially when she saw the delicate body of the trembling woman on the ground, the murderous intent and disgust in her eyes were a little stronger.

"!"

The pregnant woman slowly raised her hand and picked up a bronze palace lamp from the table at hand, the palace lamp weighed four or five pounds, and it was about to be thrown to the maid on the ground, as long as the maid was hit by the palace lamp, even if she did not die, she would be seriously injured.

At this moment, a young man with a beautiful face walked in outside the door, and as soon as the young man appeared, the surrounding maids hurriedly bowed down, and called out: "Young master! ”

The palace lamp in the pregnant woman's hand stopped in mid-air, and it didn't fall at this moment.

"Is there another who makes the little sister angry, pull it out and sink into the lake, don't move the fetus?" The young man walked in from outside the door, lowered his body when he passed by the maid on the ground, stretched out his hand and gently raised the maid's head, and couldn't help but exclaim after a glance: "It is indeed a beauty, it is a pity to sink the lake, so let Zhen Lang be a girl in the room!" ”

The pregnant woman's eyes flashed, and she hurriedly put down the palace lamp in her hand, and never looked at the maid on the ground again, her cold face showed a touch of redness, and the temperament of the whole person changed at this moment, as if she had changed a person, and said coquettishly: "Brother! Why are you back, my little sister hasn't seen you for almost two months, but there's news from Zhen Lang? ”

The young man smiled slightly, lightly touched the tip of the pregnant woman's nose, and pretended to be jealous: "Zhen Lang, Zhen Lang, you only have Zhen Lang in your heart, and do you still have my brother?" ”

The pregnant woman's face turned even redder, but suddenly it became cold again, and she pouted and said, "Brother, you are making fun of others again, and my little sister thinks about my brother's ...... every day." ”

"The mouth is not right, do you want to admit it? Since this is the case, then we won't talk about Zhen Lang's ....... ”

The pregnant woman's face changed again, she reached out and grabbed the young man's arm and shook it, her face changed so quickly that the young man shook his head, and said helplessly: "Okay, okay, I'm going to annoy you to death, tell you, Zhen Lang will go to Luwu County in a few days, I'm afraid he will live here for a long time this time, are you happy to hear the news?" ”

"Really?"

"Lie to you!" The young man's face showed a funny taste, and the pregnant woman's face was about to go crazy, and continued: "This time I went back to Osumi Province with Zhen Lang, and now Zhen Lang is discussing some things with his father, I will rush over to inform you first, I'm afraid you'll be worried, I'm afraid I'll be here tomorrow morning!" ”

The pregnant woman's face showed a look of ecstasy, the expression was like a girl seeing her beloved doll, unable to suppress the joy in her heart, even the young man next to her was surprised, gently avoided the pregnant woman's arm and said: "You have to think clearly, he is not a simple person, his road may be very long and difficult, this is not something you can bear, you and I can't predict, you don't have much hope?" ”。

The pregnant woman opened her eyes and looked at the young man and smiled...... He smiled very happily, pointed to the maidservant on the ground and said, "I have prepared his favorite woman for him, I have his child in my belly, and he will not forget my ......." ”

The young man was silent, looking at the pregnant woman in front of him and not knowing what to say, this is an injustice, it should not exist, but thinking of his family, all this is nothing, looking at the pregnant woman and saying: "Little sister, it's good that you think about it, my brother doesn't embarrass you, but you have to remember that his heart is very big, so big that we can't even think of it, you have to be prepared in your heart, understand?" ”

The pregnant woman nodded and didn't say anything, what should have been said has been said, but no one believes it, in fact, she doesn't believe it in her heart, but people are so strange, sometimes even if they don't believe it, they will stick to it, what is this?
