Chapter 2: Yiyue Tower
Yue'er's eyes widened, and she sighed, "You dare to call your mother the king behind your back, aren't you afraid that I will tell her?" ”
"Go, go, your identity is the young lady of the Frost Leaf Pavilion, and if you fight with a maid, she will drive you away faster!"
"No, my mother bought me from Jiangnan all the way, how could she sell me easily?"
"You know what kind of girl we are looking for, not only to have good looks, but also to Zhong Lingyuxiu, if you are stupid, my mother can't burn money on you."
The pothos can say Zhong Lingyuxiu, which can be regarded as a bit of literary atmosphere.
"You, you!"
"I'm not talking nonsense, I'm telling the truth, lest you daydream, a rope trick in an acrobatic class, you don't know how many catties and taels you don't know, you can't even read big characters, how can you be crowned with Jinghua, unparalleled in the world? Do you know what a hundred taels of silver is worth, the girl that Wang's mother bought before, which is not more than 1,000 taels, the most expensive is 1,000 taels of gold! ”
Yue'er clenched her fists and said hatefully: "How do you know that I can't read, how do you know that I'm only worth a hundred taels?" ”
Green Pothos sneered: "Are you worth a thousand taels?" Let me tell you, the most promising daughter brought out by Wang's mother is pomegranate, pomegranate was bought by Wang Niang for 1,000 taels of gold when she was a child, do you know who she married later? She married Wang Bai, the former governor of the political affairs, do you know what level of officials the governor is? ”
Yue'er whispered: "Isn't it just a deputy prime minister, what's the big deal, it's not a wife!" ”
"Yo, you still want to be a wife, bigger than the deputy prime minister, but only the prime minister and the current emperor, you really have eyes on the top of your head, I tell you, Mother Wang acted decisively, she once spent a thousand taels of silver to buy a girl, only taught for five days, and sold one hundred taels to the kiln, you are one hundred taels, I think, you can't last three days!"
Yue'er's eyes widened, her teeth clenched, if she didn't do well, Wang Niang would definitely abandon her and sell her to the kiln.
Seeing Yue'er's face showing a look of horror, Lu Luo was proud, she crossed her hands on her hips and said, "So, if you have anything to honor your sister, take it out, otherwise I will say a few bad words to Mother Wang, you can't eat and walk around, maybe you won't be able to stay for three days!" ”
Yue'er looked indignant.
"I have nothing now, nothing to honor you, but one day I will perch on a branch and teach the world to look up!"
"Yo, what a big breath, do you compare yourself to a phoenix, I think you still want to think about the Four Pavilion Flower Party in seven days tonight, get out of here, don't cry and beg me to tell you good things!" She put the words down and turned and walked out the door.
"Pothos, where are you going?" Yue'er couldn't help but ask.
"I'll go out for a walk and buy something to eat, this trip will suffocate me, and a bird will fade out of my mouth!"
"With such a big yard, I'm alone?"
"Yes, this yard is newly bought, and the servants haven't been hired yet, Mother Wang took the orb out, and she may not come back tonight."
"Then, what if I'm alone, and bad people come in?"
As night fell, the faint chirping of autumn insects could be heard in the garden, and the wind swept by.
Green pothos walked towards the door, crossed the entrance, and sneered.
"There are bad people, and they won't take a fancy to you, a little rib essence, but it's hard to say about ghosts, I heard that this place used to be haunted, so Wang Niang only spent 30,000 taels of silver to buy it."
In fact, the pothos is nonsense, this yard is not haunted, she is scaring Yue'er, 30,000 taels of silver is definitely a lot of wealth in the Dawei Dynasty, and ordinary people can't earn it in a few lifetimes.
Yue'er looked at her figure, she was a little thinner, that was because she didn't eat well in the acrobatic class, and if you want to talk about pork ribs, it's still far behind.
"Oh, Aunt Pothos, then you should be careful, I heard that if you walk too much at night, you will encounter ghosts."
Luluo thought that Yue'er would be frightened, who knew that she was young, not only was she not timid, but she also called her aunt, so angry that she stomped her feet and scolded: "Little slut from the acrobatic class, I think you can stay here for a few days!" ”
There was a click, and the sound of a lock falling from outside the courtyard was heard.
The Frost Leaf Pavilion was dark, and there was no light, which looked a little eerie, but Yue'er was very calm.
A full moon pierced through the clouds, and it was exceptionally bright.
Yue'er walked in the garden, her expression slowly changing.
Walking to a piece of grass, Yue'er slowly knelt down facing the northwest, she made the soil into the furnace, planted the grass as incense, and gently called: "Dad-"
Yue'er showed a sad smile, she took out two jade pendants from her arms and put them on the ground, these two jade pendants are only slightly larger than the nail cover, but the jade color is pure, crystal clear, and there is a word engraved on it, one is Xuan, and the other is Zhi.
"Xuan'er is back, but Zhi'er, she, she'll never come back-"
Yue'er burst into tears.
"I'm not a Yue'er, nor is my surname Sang, our Ran family is innocent and clean, and there have been no unscrupulous descendants, you said, be noble and pure, Huai Jin holds Yu, and your heart is like Zhixuan, so I named my name Zhixuan, and my sister named Zhizhi."
It turns out that this Yue'er's real name is Ran Zhixuan, and she is not an ordinary rope trick born in an acrobatic class.
"Daddy, don't worry, I've already found a way to return to Kyoto, although I'm still cheap, but as long as someone pays money, I can change my identity, now no one in the world knows where I was born, no matter where I am, what danger I am in, I will definitely persevere, because now it's only me, I am the only hope for our Ran family!"
This Yue'er is the little girl who was thrown into the river on the Lujia Bridge five years ago, she did not die, but Ran Zhixuan, who was rescued by the Baihua class.
A dark cloud obscured the moonlight, and the garden darkened.
Yue'er knelt on the ground, her lips moved slightly, and her eyes became more and more determined.
There was a sound of beating the watch outside, and it was already a watch at this time.
Yue'er finally bowed three times, carefully wrapped the jade pendant in a handkerchief, put it in her arms, and then got up and walked towards Yiyue Tower, although there are only two floors in an attic behind the garden, but it is very large, Yue'er walked over and saw the three words of frost leaf building hanging upstairs, she looked at the window, it was empty, and there was nothing.
Yiyue Building is in the innermost part of the Frost Leaf Pavilion, very exquisite, there are tables and chairs in this small building, it seems to be readily available, she is about to go upstairs, there seems to be a woman's cry in the distance, Yue'er listened attentively, and only heard the sound of insects, she thought it was an illusion, so she walked to the stairs and planned to go upstairs, but the faint voice floated over again.
Yue'er is very bold, she suffers everything in the acrobatic class, and it is common for her to sleep alone in the firewood room when she does something wrong, so she is not afraid of ghosts and gods.
Bypassing a rockery, Yue'er found that there was a courtyard behind the Yiyue Building, and the courtyard gate was separated by a fence and opened with a gentle push.
This is the backyard, although it has been taken care of, but it is still overgrown with weeds on all sides, and there are a few old trees in the yard, but they are also luxuriant.
Yue'er stood in the courtyard and listened carefully, and did not notice a woman's cry, she looked around, only to see a few small miscellaneous houses on the side of the courtyard wall, as well as a pile of garbage, a broken ladder, the ladder is very long, although broken, there is also a zhangxu, I think it is used to repair the courtyard building, in addition to some garbage, a waste well in a corner of the yard, she walked to the well and looked down, to see if there was someone crying below, but this waste well is not deep, at a glance, although it is not clear what there is, but there is certainly no one.
The two miscellaneous houses in the courtyard, which should have been inhabited not long ago, had a few broken beds of cotton wool and broken spoons on the ground, and she turned around and found nothing.
"Did I hear it wrong?"
Yue'er was suspicious in her heart, she didn't believe in the word haunting, and while thinking, she turned around and walked back and forth.
Out of the backyard, Yue'er went straight to Yiyue downstairs, she turned around, and went directly to the third floor, facing a delicate carved wooden door.
Yue'er pushed it gently, and the door creaked open, and a faint scent of book and ink came to her face.
This is an extremely simple and elegant study, opposite a row of windows, on one side is a bookshelf, on which there are scrolls and jade, and there is a few couches on the side of the bookshelf, which is obviously for the master to take a rest when he is tired of reading books.
