Chapter 9 Fragments of Memory
Lu Si saw that Liu Chunyan was unharmed, so he left, he had been away from Beijing for a long time this time, and he came here as soon as he came back, and he still needed to enter the court to meet the emperor.
Liu Chunyan, who was woken up early in the morning, was very bored and danced in the courtyard.
At first, she danced smoothly, but after a while, she realized that the dance steps she was dancing were not what she used to practice.
Liu Chunyan didn't know why, and after hesitating for a moment, she started jumping again, and at this time, she found that the more she jumped, the more outrageous it became.
So she went back to her boudoir, stood in front of the bronze mirror, and began to writhe again in front of herself in the mirror.
She found that she had never learned such dance steps since she was a child, and she had never seen anyone dance in the video.
"Are you born to dance?" Liu Chunyan pondered in her heart, but she hadn't discovered her potential in this area before.
Looking at the somewhat unfamiliar face in the mirror, she thought that this must have something to do with Lu Huaixiang.
She didn't look closely at her dance just now, so she re-danced this dance that was not controlled by her body in front of the mirror.
Looking at Lu Huaixiang dancing in the mirror, she felt a little resentful.
I can't figure out why such a beautiful and kind-hearted girl ended up freezing to death in the snow.
Looking at Lu Huaixiang's face in the mirror, many pictures suddenly flashed in her mind, "Lakeside...... Thatched hut ...... A wounded hare, a little boy with a smile on his face......"
A boy running in the wind, carrying an injured rabbit in his hand, looked very anxious, and it seemed that he was trying to save the rabbit in his hand.
The little boy fell down because of the Tai Chi he ran, but he got up as quickly as he could, not caring about the bruises on his arms, he just ran as hard as he could, and looked back at himself from time to time.
Liu Chunyan could feel the firmness in the little boy's eyes, and at the same time, that look made her feel extremely warm and full of security.
In the end, the little boy disappeared from her vision, and she could clearly feel the anxiety in her heart when the child disappeared.
With a cry of "Huai'er" in her head, Liu Chunyan suddenly came back to her senses.
Liu Chunyan shook her head violently, and suddenly felt a little dizzy, since the last time she was resurrected from the snow, this kind of situation would often occur.
In the past, there would only be one or two scenes occasionally flashing in her mind, but now this feeling is getting stronger and stronger in Liu Chunyan's mind.
"Why is this happening, who are you?" Liu Chunyan muttered to herself.
She knew very well that these pictures had never appeared in her life, and she had never even seen those scenes once, and there was only one possibility, that is, these sporadic memories came from Lu Huaixiang.
Liu Chunyan also had some memories of Lu Huaixiang in her head, but nothing like this had ever happened.
She actually didn't know that the pictures that appeared in her mind were from the deepest memories in Lu Huaixiang's mind, those best memories of her childhood.
Lu Huaixiang's family originally lived in the countryside, and his father was a wealthy local man's disciple, although his life was a little hard, but he was quite passable.
The family of three depended on each other, the mother knitted clothes and cooked at home, and the father earned some silver taels outside, but the good times did not last long.
Lu Guozheng hooked up with an official lady by chance, and since then he has become Chen Shimei, abandoning his bad wife, denying his own flesh and blood, and even wanting to put Lu Huaixiang to death again and again.
Liu Chunyan's mind was a mess, and she was full of thoughts in an instant, "Who is he?" ”
"Madame passes." Liu Chunyan didn't have time to think about it, and her thoughts were interrupted by the people outside the door.
"What kind of moths do you get, don't let people be idle early in the morning." Liu Chunyan muttered quietly in her mouth.
She walked slowly to the door of the room, and with a commanding expression, she pointed at Liu Chunyan and said, "The old lady has something to do, let you go to the side hall." ”
"The sun has come out in the west, and you will even receive me in the side hall?" No wonder Liu Chunyan thought this in her heart, after all, the places where she frequented the most before were the firewood room, the back kitchen and the like.
It has been many days since she came to Lu Mansion, and she has long been accustomed to all kinds of difficulties from various people in the mansion, and she didn't pay too much attention to it this time.
"You go back to the old lady first, and I'll go and talk back to her, and I'll freshen up for a while." Liu Chunyan said very politely to her subordinates.
……
"Greetings to Mother!" Liu Chunyan walked into the side hall and saluted Mrs. Lu, who was sitting in the main seat.
There was no one else in the side hall, only Mrs. Lu's personal maid Lingyu was beating her back.
Liu Chunyan always stood in the hall after greeting her, Mrs. Lu was always tasting the tea cup in her hand, and after a while, she slowly spoke, "I heard that there was an accident in your courtyard this morning, what happened?" ”
Mrs. Lu asked.
"It's okay, it's just that the chicken accidentally sprinkled some blood stains on the ground, and there is nothing else serious, so I have to listen to the people in the house." Liu Chunyan said softly, although she had no feeling for the person in front of her, she knew that she had to do everything in etiquette.
can't give a tongue, otherwise her life in Lu Mansion will be even more difficult, Liu Chunyan naturally knows very well in her heart, she will not dare to tell Mrs. Lu about Du Yuyan finding someone to assassinate her, and she didn't say a word.
"That strange body smells, this smell has always been this since childhood, it turned out to be mixed with those beasts every day, the master did something in his last life to give birth to you like this...... Ahh......h
Liu Chunyan smiled secretly in her heart, "You have created too many evils by yourself, and you will marry such a beast like Lu Guozheng in this life." ”
"Did you call me here to talk about this, if nothing else, I'd rather stay with my chickens, ducks, and brutes." Liu Chunyan has always been a current person in Lufu, and she is naturally ...... with chickens and ducks
"Okay, okay, I'm going to tell you another thing, the old man's health has not been very good recently, I want to go to the temple to pray for the master, and you, as the eldest daughter, should accompany me."
Liu Chunyan knew that she didn't seem to have any reason to refuse, so she agreed directly, "Pray, this is a natural choice." ”
"The temple we are going to is a bit far away, and it will take two or three days to go back and forth, so you can prepare some clothes." Mrs. Lu continued.
At first, Liu Chunyan thought that the temple Mrs. Lu was talking about was the Jade Dragon Temple on Zanglong Mountain outside the city, but when she heard that it would take three days to go back and forth, she also felt that something was wrong.
She knew that she had to go, and if she didn't go, she would be labeled as an unfilial and disobedient son.
"Okay, I'll go get ready." After speaking, Liu Chunyan retreated.
Although she was uneasy, she didn't know what to do.
It is said that after Du Yuyan returned home from the Lu Mansion, she was unhappy in her heart, and when she saw Qin Muyu dancing with a sword in the courtyard, she rushed straight to him and scolded, "You are not allowed to see that slut again in the future, if I see you again, I will go and tell my aunt and ask her to go and tell the emperor to remove you." ”
The aunt in Du Yuyan's mouth is Du Guifei, one of the emperor's favorite concubines.
"What's wrong with you, running out early in the morning and coming back like crazy." Qin Muyu said impatiently.
Hearing what Du Yuyan said, he was very upset, but Qin Muyu still tried his best to control his tone.
He knows what kind of person Du Yuyan is, and he will do what he says, and he abandoned the Liu family to hook up with Du Yuyan before because he valued that the Du family had someone in the court and could give him advice in front of the emperor.
Because of Du Guifei, Qin Muyu was promoted from a small pioneer to the general of the protector of the country.
Therefore, for Du Guifei in Du Yuyan's mouth. Qin Muyu was still a little jealous in his heart.
"Who the hell are you talking about, I got up early in the morning and practiced swords in the courtyard, and never went out." Qin Muyu looked at Du Yuyan and said happily.
"Don't pretend to be garlic anymore, I'm talking about Liu Huaixiang's little slut, you dare to say it...... As soon as I say this, I get angry. Du Yuyan stomped his feet angrily.
"Qiu Ju, you quickly step down, go and tell the kitchen to boil some white fungus soup, and bring it to the young lady later." Qin Muyu deliberately took Qiu Ju.
After Qiu Ju left, there were only two people in the backyard of Qin Mansion, Du Yuyan and Qin Muyu, Qin Muyu still tried to persuade Du Yuyan not to be angry, "It's been so many days, don't mention it again, you won't do it in the future." ”
"What you mean is that you admit it, it was you who hooked up with that little slut last time." Du Yuyan suddenly became more irritable again, and pushed Qin Muyu hard with her hand as she spoke.
Qin Muyu, who was not at all defenseless, was pushed back two steps, accidentally stepped on the side of the stone pier with his right foot, and his body was about to roll over before he could stand firmly.
Qin Muyu quickly swung the long sword in his hand, using the long sword to support his body, although it was to save himself from the decline of the flower pool, but when he swung the sword, he accidentally scratched his arm.
Du Yuyan's action completely angered Qin Muyu, and the anger that had been suppressed for many days instantly exploded, he stepped forward with an arrow, rounded his arm, and slapped Du Yuyan fiercely.
This slap Qin Muyu used enough strength, which was full of these resentments in his heart in recent days.
Du Yuyan was instantly petrified in place, she didn't expect Qin Muyu to dare to do it to herself, no one dared to say no to herself since she was a child, let alone do it to herself.
"Don't deceive people too much, in the Qin Mansion, you will take care of your eldest lady's temper, I am not your father, I don't follow you in everything." Qin Muyu said coldly.
"What's going on with the child in your belly, you know it best in your heart, don't think I don't know, don't worry about you to give your Du family face." Qin Muyu slammed the long sword in his hand to the ground, and looked at Du Yuyan with straight eyes.
In Qin Muyu's heart, Du Yuyan is just a chess piece, just a ladder for him to climb up, as long as he reaches his goal, he can kick it off at any time.
