It was the sound of the cold wind howling, mixed with a soft tone, like a grievance, like reluctance.

If you listen carefully, you will hear the whisper clearly: "Qin Lang, I will wait for you!" You don't have to be dazzled by the women in the capital, remember to come to my house to propose! ”

The young man on horseback did not look back, and said in a voice that only he could hear: "Don't worry, as long as I can come back, I will marry you!" With that, he gently raised his whip and galloped away with the horse, and his back finally disappeared into the vast yellow sand.

Xiao Ruixue opened her eyes, and such a scene had appeared in her dreams many times. Seeing that it was already dark outside the window, she found that she could no longer sleep, so she had to smile bitterly, put on her clothes and get out of bed lightly.

It was her little maid Yun'er who was asleep on the bed in the outhouse, she didn't want to disturb Yun'er's dream, but when she passed by, she saw Yun'er's stupid appearance of sucking her fingers and drooling, and finally couldn't help laughing: "This silly girl, she must have dreamed of delicious food again!" ”

Maybe Xiao Ruixue didn't control the volume well, Yun'er finally woke up, she first opened her eyes and looked at Xiao Ruixue, and then shook her head vigorously, trying to make herself wake up faster, and finally she shouted: "Ah, miss, I overslept again!" ”

Xiao Ruixue smiled slightly: "No, it's still early, I woke you up, you continue to sleep!" ”

Yun'er shook her head: "No, the young lady is all up, how can Yun'er continue to sleep soundly?" Wait, Miss, I'll go and get you some water!" ”

Xiao Ruixue wanted to refuse, but gave up: "Forget it, let it be!" ”

About half an hour after Xiao Ruixue finished washing, the sun fully showed its head and feet, and this spring morning looked particularly bright. Xiao Ruixue looked at the high wall and was a little excited, and suddenly a young woman's voice sounded behind her: "Ruixue! ”

The voice carried a tactfulness of Wu Nong's soft words, Xiao Ruixue turned her head slightly, and saw a beautiful woman in her twenties, dressed in a flower skirt with smoke and water, combing a common fallen horse bun among women, walking towards her.

The beautiful woman is Xiao Ruixue's mother Zhu Yan, Zhu Yan has fair skin like jade, a graceful and slender figure, and a beautiful and incomparable face and a radiant style.

Xiao Ruixue bared her front teeth: "Morning, mother!" ”

Zhu Yan's expression was very unhappy: "How many times have I told you that my daughter's family should speak softly and smile without showing her teeth, why don't you always remember?" ”

Xiao Ruixue pursed her lips, and immediately changed into a delicate and earnest appearance, and said softly: "My daughter knows that she is wrong!" ”

Zhu Yan turned her anger into a smile: "Rui Xue got up earlier than her mother today, are you going to review what your mother taught you yesterday?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Ruixue wanted to cry without tears: "Mother, please don't let me learn the posture and behavior of that Raushzi anymore, originally I felt that what I did was quite natural, but being taught by you like that, I felt that I couldn't even walk at the most basic level!" ”

Zhu Yan's pretty face was cold: "Don't think about it!" Being a mother is spoiling you, and she doesn't force you to learn anything since you were a child, which leads to your current behavior! ”

"What's wrong with tigers, what parents don't want their children to be healthy?"

"There's nothing wrong with a strong son, but not a daughter, and the appearance of the daughter's home should be gentle and elegant! You used to be young, and my mother thought it didn't matter, but now that you're thirteen years old, it's really too late to correct you! Actually, Zhu Yanxun's expression was not scary at all, and even a little coquettish, but Xiao Ruixue was naturally afraid of her, and sure enough, at this moment, she was like a turtle with a shrunken head, and she only promised: "Mother is right!" ”

Zhu Yan showed a smug smile on her face: "Also, from tomorrow, you have to learn the piano from your mother, and you have to learn from the female red!" By the way, poetry, calligraphy and painting should also be learned! ”

Xiao Ruixue's face became even more bitter: "This is too much, right?" Suddenly, she felt the murderous aura in Zhu Yan's eyes, and immediately turned back into a turtle with a shrunken head: "What my mother said is very right!" ”

Zhu Yan went back to the house with a pleasant laugh, Xiao Ruixue looked up at the high wall, her immature face was full of gloom.

Today was another depressing day for Xiao Ruixue, she was reprimanded by her mother in the early morning, and the next morning she repeatedly practiced the so-called ladylike posture under the supervision of her mother. The so-called lady is just a person who can't take big steps, can't have ugly postures, and can't do it if her movements are exaggerated, anyway, in Zhu Yan's eyes, Xiao Ruixue is now a person who can't even walk, and everything has to be taught from scratch.

Finally at noon, Xiao Ruixue's sad expression finally stretched a little, and she tried to please Zhu Yan and said: "Mother, you see how well-behaved your daughter is today, everything you asked for has been completed by her daughter with all her heart!" ”

Zhu Yan bowed slightly: "Well, it's okay." And then what? ”

"Hehe, let's see if it's okay to be here today, and let my daughter go out in the afternoon!"

Zhu Yan knocked Xiao Ruixue's head: "Hehe, what, hehe, you forgot if you don't smile toothy?" Tell you, don't think! My mother has changed her mind, and I won't delay it until tomorrow, you have to learn from your mother to be a female celebrity this afternoon! ”

"Mother, my husband is full of his word, you can't go back on your word!"

"My mother is just a little woman, not a big husband, oh yes, you are not, so there is no need to talk to you!"

Xiao Ruixue looked at Zhu Yan in surprise, but the smile in the corner of Zhu Yan's eyes couldn't stop spreading.

"Sister! Auspicious snow! At this moment, a gentle female voice sounded outside the courtyard, and a woman about forty years old with a delicate and elegant appearance walked into the small courtyard.

"Sister!" "Auntie!" The person who came was Mrs. Gu, the head mother of the Xiao family.

Mrs. Gu had a warm smile on her face: "Sister, are you teaching Lady Ruixue etiquette again?" Look at you, it's too scary to have a big stick! ”

Zhu Yan smiled: "I'm also helpless, this girl is too naughty, otherwise she won't obey!" ”

Mrs. Gu was happy: "How can it be so exaggerated as you said, I think Rui Xue is quite well-behaved, maybe it's just a little weird, in fact, it's like you, isn't it?" You should be a mother, but you can't be too much, otherwise this girl's personality will be worn out, and she won't be a pile of rotten wood? ”

Xiao Ruixue nodded solemnly: "What the eldest lady said is very right!" ”

Zhu Yan was also happy: "You girl, you usually look like a shrunken turtle in front of me, you will turn the sky as soon as your aunt comes, right?" ”

Xiao Ruixue shook her head seriously again: "No, no, my mother did the right thing!" ”

At this moment, Mrs. Gu and Zhu Yan actually laughed at the same time.

Mrs. Gu's arrival did bring a different change to Xiao Ruixue's afternoon, she had already decided to learn from female popularity, but because Mrs. Gu was going to Jiming Temple to offer incense, she was able to accompany her. Mrs. Gu also wanted to invite Zhu Yan to go with her, but Zhu Yan refused with a smile, and Mrs. Gu was even more reluctant, the reason for this was Xiao Hui. Zhu Yan is actually in her thirties, but I don't know if it's because of the differences between people, but her appearance is still prosperous, she looks like a woman in her early twenties, and she has a lot more charm of a mature woman than when she was in her twenties.

Jiming Temple is the first ancient temple of the Southern Dynasty, known as the first of the "Four Hundred and Eighty Temples of the Southern Dynasty", and the incense has always been prosperous. Xiao Ruixue stood at the foot of the steps of the Daxiong Treasure Hall, looking at the crowd of people coming and going, but she didn't know what their purpose was for seeking Buddha, and why they came to this world to walk once. Of course, Xiao Ruixue doesn't really care about these, Xiao Ruixue only needs to know the purpose of her coming to this life, although this purpose is very far away, and it is even more unattainable with her current identity, but as long as she lives, she has reason to keep this glimmer of hope for herself.

"Auntie, I'm not interested in worshipping Buddha, can I go play by myself for a while?" Xiao Ruixue said to Mrs. Gu.

Mrs. Gu smiled: "Your mother is right, your girl's heart is too wild!" ”

Xiao Ruixue was a little speechless.

Mrs. Gu smiled again: "Go ahead, in fact, the eldest mother knows that you are not interested in worshiping the Buddha, and the reason why she brought you out is because she has been forced by your mother to be a little pitiful recently." However, although there is no danger in this Buddhist holy land, you are a little lady after all, we have to say that you are not allowed to be too far from the Daxiong Treasure Hall, and you must rush back within half an hour! Otherwise, I will sue your mother, and it will be difficult for you to go out again in the future! ”

Xiao Ruixue turned from worry to joy: "I must remember the words of the eldest mother, thank you aunt!" With that, he ran away in a hurry.

Mrs. Gu looked at Xiao Ruixue's back, smacking her tongue a little, she shook her head, and secretly regretted her decision in her heart.

The mountain behind Jiming Temple is the place where the monks meditate, and generally few good men and women will come here, and at this time, most of the monks receive good men and women in the front hall, so now this place can be called inaccessible. Inaccessible is the purpose of Xiao Ruixue's here, she looked around cautiously, sure that there was no one, and said in her heart: "Recently, my mother has taken me too closely, I don't even have a chance to sneak out, and my martial arts have been down for many days." ”

Time passed, Xiao Ruixue had just practiced to breathe, and suddenly her heart cramped, so painful that she almost couldn't stand steadily, her face suddenly turned pale, and big beads of sweat appeared from her forehead. Xiao Ruixue covered her chest, but she was not surprised in her heart, because this was not the first time this situation had occurred, she didn't know why, but she could only endure silently.

"Little lady, if you continue to practice, be careful that your life is not guaranteed!" It seemed to be an empty place, and suddenly such a voice came from nowhere.
