Chapter 2: Rebirth from the Dead
"Miss, are you awake?" With the sound of small footsteps, a soft voice sounded.
It's Cai Wei!
Quickly lifting the curtain, Duanmu Qing sat at the head of the bed all of a sudden, staring blankly at the things in front of him.
That's right, the dresser carved by begonias, the beautiful lady scoop with fresh lychees on the windowsill, the glass screen of the lonely boat night trip, and Cai Wei's stunned face......
She is back, back to the home of the Marquis of Yongding, back to her Dancing Ink Pavilion.
"Miss, what's wrong with you?" While lifting the curtain on the tent hook, Cai Wei asked with a smile.
The eldest lady of her own family understands herself, although she has a cold temperament, but she is not really indifferent, but she doesn't know what her reaction is at the moment.
Without answering her words, Duanmu Qing walked barefoot to the dresser.
Despite being mentally prepared, I was shocked when I saw the face in the mirror.
The delicate eyebrows and eyes have not yet grown, revealing a stream of greenness, and the big apricot eyes are as clear as water, like a clear spring.
"Yikes! Why did the young lady go to the ground like this? It's June, and it's still cold on the ground! Luxi's voice rang out eagerly at the door.
This girl followed her to the palace, and was later accused of stealing in the palace, and she drove away with her own hands.
She still remembers the situation when she knelt on the ground to plead, and now that she thinks about it, she should have been wronged.
I didn't expect to see these people again, and I didn't expect to have the opportunity to do it again.
The nose was sore, and the tears could no longer be controlled, and immediately rolled down.
At this moment, the two girls were very frightened, hurriedly put down the things in their hands, and rushed over.
"Miss, what's wrong with you? Did you have a nightmare last night? Cai Wei has a gentle temperament, but she is anxious, and her voice is gentle and soft.
"Oh, didn't Mrs. last night tell me that I have to embroider for a day today, and Miss can't get through it, right? Or let's pretend to be sick! Lu Xi thought about something else.
Mother? My mother is still there! I'm learning embroidery, yes, she learned to embroider at the age of twelve, and it seems that she is only eleven or twelve years old.
"Hurry up and help me freshen up, I'm going to my mother's place."
Hearing this, the two maids were stunned, and then they hurriedly became confused.
Qiu Tian's Wen Yaxuan was not very far from the Dancing Ink Pavilion, but at this moment, Duanmu Qing felt that he had been walking for a long time, and when he was on the road, he still kept playing drums in his mind, for fear that he would accidentally go wrong and find out that it was all fake.
Hearing the noise outside, he frowned invisibly, and before he could speak, a pale cyan figure pounced.
"Mother."
Faced with Duanmu Qing's sudden enthusiasm, Qiu Tian was a little at a loss, and it took a long time for the corners of his mouth to bend a small arc, "What's wrong?" Early in the morning? ”
In fact, she knows that her mother has always been cold, not good at expressing her feelings, and she doesn't understand much about human feelings, it is precisely because of this that her own temperament in her previous life also followed her more, but at this moment she really can't help it, her mother is her mother, whether she is cold or not, she has been pampering herself for more than ten years.
Feeling a burst of dampness and heat in his chest, Qiu Tian knew that Duanmu Qing was crying, put away his smile, dug out the person in his arms, and frowned slightly, "Qing'er, what's going on?" ”
The hair on his forehead was already wet with sweat because of the rapid walking and the movements just now, but Duanmu Qing couldn't take care of it anymore, just looked at his mother's face, just like in memory, with a little pale, but always so quiet and gentle.
Shaking his head a little embarrassedly, "I had a nightmare last night, and I suddenly missed my mother." ”
Faced with her answer, Qiu Tian couldn't cry or laugh a little, reached out to pull away her daughter's forehead, and wiped her sweat with a handkerchief, "You, how old are you, why are you still so frizzy." ”
As he spoke, he coughed twice.
Duanmuqing remembered that his mother died of illness when he was twelve years old, and now that he counts the days, there is not much time left, "Mother, isn't your cough a little better?" I went to my father and asked him to send someone to the people to find some good doctors, which will definitely be cured. ”
A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, Duanmuqing's temperament is clear to her, she follows herself, everything goes naturally, even if she cares about her illness in her heart, she will not force it, how can she say this today?
How did she know that after such a painful memory of the previous life, Duanmu Qing's longing for her family was so strong now.
"Okay, it's no big deal, I see that the peacock you embroidered yesterday is in perfect condition, but the look of the eyes is not smart enough in some places, I will teach you how to match the best color." Qiu Tian asked people to move the embroidery bandage over, and looked at the door curtain of Duanmu Qingxiu with a smile.
Looking at her expression, she knew that she was already a little unnatural, and she didn't want others to find out what she was strange about, Duanmuqing nodded, and quietly picked up the needle and thread, in fact, she already knew how to solve the problem that Qiu Tian said, but she still had to make a serious appearance at the moment.
"Madam, the second lady has come to greet you."
Hearing the sound of pouring lotus outside the door, almost subconsciously shook his hand, the sharp embroidery needle pierced into the index finger, and a red blood bead quickly oozed out, and the round blood bead stopped on the jade white finger, which was extremely distinct.
"Let her in." didn't notice Duanmu Qing's strange appearance, Qiu Tian smiled lightly and ordered the little girl.
Without a trace, he pressed his handkerchief against the wound and turned his face to look at the door.
A long lilac dress like smoke swayed with her graceful figure, and her face, which had grown a moving posture, had a bright smile, and said sweetly when she entered the door: "Madam, did you sleep well last night?" It rained a little in the evening, and it was cool at night. ”
Qiu Tian immediately instructed the little maids to pour tea, "It's good, there is still water on the road, you live far away, you don't have to come here every day." ”
Duanmu Zi didn't answer, and looked at Duanmu Qing with a smile, "Although I can't get closer to my sister, my heart is the same if I want to get close to my wife, and my sister's door curtain yesterday is about to be embroidered!" ”
Looking at her face, Duanmu Qing had to admit that she was indeed a beauty, but she didn't know what the heart under this beauty skin was thinking at the moment!
As soon as her thoughts turned like this, she remembered the words she said before she died in her previous life, and she poisoned Su'er and her brother Jin with her own hands.
"Qing'er, what's wrong with you? The face is so ugly? ”
Seeing that Duanmu Zi had been talking for a long time, there was no movement here, Qiu Tian turned around and found that his daughter was staring blankly ahead, but there was no usual look in her eyes, but instead revealed an unknown sadness and deep hatred, and her face was even more gray.
Suddenly came back to his senses, Duanmu Qing was secretly annoyed, why did he become like this when he saw Duanmu Zi? There will be many occasions to meet in the future! Busy steady, pulled out a smile, "Oh! Xu really didn't have a good rest last night, and he was a little absent-minded, what did Zi'er just say? ”
Duanmu Zi hurriedly smiled: "It's nothing, I don't think my sister is resting well, or don't embroider!" It's time to get a good rest. ”
"Yes! Qing'er, go sleep for a while! This embroidery is not a momentary effort. ”
Seeing that his mother also said the same, Duanmu Qing had no choice but to nod and promise to retreat.
"Forget it, Qing'er, why don't you rest for two more days, and in a few days I will paint the frame, and you will embroider it according to it, so that it can be given to the queen mother as a congratulatory gift."
Just when Duanmuqing got up, Qiu Tian suddenly popped out a sentence again, Duanmuqing only knew what time it was now, it was the year she was twelve years old, and the queen's birthday would be in a month, and on that day she should have embroidered that "Ten Thousand Lights", and immediately made a name for herself in Tianjing's noble girl circle.
Now that the time has been determined, then it is better to make a good plan, it is better to write down all the things in her previous life, God actually gave her a chance to be reborn, of course she will not let go of those who have harmed her.
If you remember correctly, that time also showed off on the queen's birthday, as well as her sister, Duanmu Zi, who captivated the country and the city, also established her title of the first beauty in Xiqi in the future.
The corners of his lips invisibly evoked a mocking smile, that was the past life, and this life can't let you go well.
"Is the eldest sister from the second aunt? Why do you not seem to be in good spirits? A hearty voice suddenly remembered, interrupting Duanmu Qing's contemplation.
As soon as I looked up, I saw a bright face, the facial features seemed to be carefully outlined with a pen, with a hint of fortitude, and the thick ink eyebrows gave people a sense of affection and righteousness.
This is her second brother, Duanmuhe, who is now a general of Zhengsipin Zhongwu, because of the peace of the country, he started this loose official, and he just returned to the capital not long ago. In fact, Duanmuhe is also the son of his father Duanmu Jun, but the eldest uncle Duanmu Jing died young without leaving a son and a half daughter, so his father succeeded the second brother to the uncle's name.
Duanmuqing still has a good impression of this second brother, because he has always been cold, rarely vain and wronged others, and most of the family members are not affectionate to her, but this second brother has never treated her coldly, no matter where he comes back, he will always remember to bring her a gift, most of which are some of the daughter's favorite gadgets.
And she really likes those things, but she never says them.
But later, this brother was also beheaded in that tragedy, and his nose was sour when he thought about it, and he blinked, and immediately recovered his mind.
"Yes! I just came from my mother's house, the string of bells you gave me yesterday, the sound is soft and soft, it sounds very pleasant, I like it very much, and now it hangs at the head of the bed! Duanmu Qing smiled sweetly at Duanmu He, "Where are you going, second brother?" ”
There are many younger sisters in the family, but Duanmu Qing is always a cold person, never enthusiastic, which makes people look a little pitiful, I have never seen her smile so affectionately, and I haven't found that my sister is so good when she smiles.
Stunned, Duanmu He smiled and said, "I was about to go to my grandmother's place, yesterday she said that she was a little uncomfortable, and I went to Brother Yun to ask for two pills." ”
Brother Yun, she had never paid attention to this person who came out of Duanmuhe's mouth in her previous life, and later learned that he was Yun Qian, the world's most famous Yunyou doctor, but I don't know when she got acquainted with Duanmuhe and became a good friend, and later was killed by Zhao Yufeng for Duanmuhe.
As soon as his thoughts turned, Duanmu Qing asked, "Second brother, can you come back later, can you come to my Wumo Pavilion?" ”
"Huh?" Duanmuqing never invited others to her, because when he heard this, Duanmuhe thought he had heard it wrong, but then nodded with a smile.
"Qing'er, are you sure you want to go in?" A rare trace of unnaturalness flashed on Duanmuhe's face, and he looked at Duanmuqing, who looked like a young man in a green shirt in front of him, and asked.
The long hair is tied on the top, and the small body that has not yet grown is wrapped under the cyan robe, and the big apricot eyes reveal a bit of aura.
Nodding slightly, Duanmu Qing did not hesitate, "Yes." ”
didn't know what his sister was going to do, so Duanmu He had no choice but to knock on the door with suspicion.
