The night, very deep, rainy, fine, the thin and misty raindrops in the rainy night will always give people some lingering yellowing memories, those memories are fragmented a lot on this rainy night, and a lot is forgotten.

Rainy nights fill some people with reverie, but also make some people feel gloomy, depressed, and irritable.

Although the night was deep and the rain was dense, the messy hitting on the eaves made a disturbing screeching sound, but it also muffled the noise coming from the west wing.

Lan'er frowned slightly, got up and walked to the window, opened a thin slit, and a wisp of blue smoke immediately flashed out along the crack in the window.

With the efforts of Ren Hongfei and Ye Hanqing, the house was already full of smoke and smoking.

Both of them were already drunk, their eyes were red, their bodies were shaking, and they were looking at each other and smirking.

Ren Hongfei stammered: "Han, Han Qing, why is this roof still turning, when will it stop." As he spoke, he raised his index finger and swayed to the frequency of the hallucination.

Ye Hanqing glared at the drunken eyes and continued: "Blind, nonsense, how can the roof be turning, it's obviously just the beams of the house turning." ”

Lan'er sighed helplessly, first helped Ren Hongfei up from the stool in front of the table, put him on the bed in the inner room, took off his coat for him and put it inside, and then turned around and dragged Ye Hanqing to lie down on the outside of the bed.

The two of them still kept muttering vaguely, Ye Hanqing seemed to be still thinking about the unreleased European and American blockbusters, while Ren Hongfei was chattering about his hard-working parents, I don't know if they are still crying for their son's disappearance.

Suddenly, Ren Hongfei said in a daze: "Sister Lan'er, is it okay to marry me?" ”

Lan'er, who had been distracted, was stunned, the tears swirling in her eyes finally dripped down, and she gently covered them with a blanket, and Lan'er returned to the outside room to clean up the leftovers on the table, and then opened the door, and the fresh air immediately came to her face.

Lan'er walked to the edge of the corridor, the rain had gradually stopped, but the sky was still dark, the remaining dark clouds were driven by the air current, whirring like a race, and the bright and naughty full moon flickered between them, as if cheering for this game.

Lan'er sat silently on the stone platform full of rain, not feeling the wet clothes at all, her eyes looked gloomily at the dark clouds in the sky, but her dark pupils looked so godless and sad.

She is twenty-seven years old, and at the age of twenty-seven, she is like a parrot in a cage for a long time, lonely and weak.

Although she can only live in the big cage of Ciqing Palace, she has never felt lonely, because there are people she cares about and loves deeply. She didn't want to leave the Forbidden City, which she had been tired of for a long time, she had lived here for a long time, she had lost touch with the outside world, she no longer understood the darkness and squalor of the outside world, and she no longer knew how to survive in the outside world.

If she leaves here, I am afraid that she will be like a parrot released by well-wishers, who has long forgotten the skills of survival in the wild, and sooner or later she will die in the dark jungle or under the bow and arrow of a hunter, which will harm her.

She was born in a poor family, there are six brothers and sisters in the family, her father worked hard to cultivate a few acres of land rented from the landlord, facing the loess with his back to the sky, but the dripping sweat did not move the barren land, every time he paid the rent to the landlord, the rest was not enough for half a year's rations for the family.

And my mother can only get up early every day and operate the old wooden loom at home in exchange for a little income.

The eldest brother went to herd cattle for the landlord's family, the eldest sister had already sold them to others as child daughters-in-law, and the remaining brothers and sisters went to collect firewood and some went around digging wild vegetables.

Lan'er was sold into the palace at the age of ten and has been cleaning and working in Ciqing Palace, but she does not complain, but is very happy, because although it is hard here, she is well fed and clothed, and at least she has to live.

And how many of their brothers and sisters outside can really live to marry a wife and have children because of hunger, cold, and oppression?

Since Lady Liu came, she has become Lady Liu's personal maid, and Lady Liu treats her like a sister, which makes her see a piece of light.

Although Lady Liu is not favored by Zhu Changluo, she is kind and loyal. After she gave birth to Ren Hongfei, Lan'er was sincerely happy for her, feeling that Lady Liu had finally come out and had a bright future.

Who knew that the good times would not last long, Lady Liu was beaten to death in front of her, Lan'er seemed to have fallen the sky, and she felt that she had nothing to love, but she didn't hate Zhu Changluo very much, she thought that this was Lady Liu's fate, just like Lan'er herself was helpless and unable to fight.

She wants to follow Lady Liu and continue to be sisters in the next life, but there is still a seedling here that needs her to care for and help grow.

I don't know if she is taking care of Ren Hongfei or Ren Hongfei is taking care of her, but they support each other and depend on each other.

For so many years, Lan'er no longer wants to leave the palace, doesn't want to marry again, just wants to watch the seedlings left by Lady Liu thrive, marry a wife and have children, and she is satisfied.

The night was getting deeper and deeper, but Lan'er was not sleepy, still greedily breathing in the fresh and moist air after the rain, and the air still carried the fragrance of the flower beds.

Lan'er's long eyelashes flickered, and she didn't know if it was her teardrops or condensed dewdrops, her mouth murmured slightly, still repeating Ren Hongfei's words, Sister Lan'er, marry me, okay!

Since she has been dependent on Ren Hongfei, Lan'er feels that she has become more and more inseparable from him, although Ren Hongfei is more than ten years younger than her, but in her eyes, he is a man who stands up to the sky.

For a long time, she didn't know that she would not be able to live without Ren Hongfei, it was actually Ren Hongfei who was taking care of her all along, if it weren't for him, she was afraid that she would have been swallowed up by this dirty and greedy Forbidden City, and there were no bones left.

Lan'er blinked, the pearls on her eyelashes finally dripped down, and Lan'er murmured: "Xiaofei, Lan'er will always accompany you, but I can't marry you, I don't want to drag you down, you only belong here, this place is too small for you, one day you will be like the iron bird you told me before, galloping for nine days and soaring thousands of miles." ”

But now she feels that she is a burden to Ren Hongfei, because she feels that she can't keep up with Ren Hongfei's footsteps, she almost can't understand a word of what they said last night, she feels like people from two worlds with them.

The night is getting deeper and deeper, the morning star that has moved to the south pokes its head out of the dark clouds, dawn is approaching, Lan'er sits on the stone steps and leans against the pillar supporting the corridor, the murmur in her mouth is finally getting lower and lower, and the reddish eyes are finally closed heavily, and she slowly falls asleep in the morning dew.
