Chapter 1: Dreams
Stretching out, Lin Xiaoruo is ready to get up and start a new day. But I felt that after a whole night's sleep, my whole body was still weak, and I didn't feel energetic as usual.
When I opened my eyes, I was greeted by a complicated carving, a beautiful and rather unreal bed. The veil hung down, and you could faintly see the layers of curtains hooked up by gilt gold hooks outside.
The feeling of sitting up suddenly, dizziness, and fatigue coming over me like a sea of water, was so real. His hands were unable to support his whole body, and he fell heavily on the bed. Hehe, the solid wood bed, it turned out to be so hard. This was the only thought in Xiao Ruo's mind before he fainted.
"Little Miss, are you awake?" The call was repeated in my ears. My head was dizzy, and it was still pitch black in front of me. Slowly open your eyes and the darkness clears. Through the muslin, she saw a woman in ancient costume, bent over, her complicated coiled hair with tassels hanging down on the ground, still dangling, her face could not be seen clearly, her voice was as clear as a stream, presumably, even if she was not a beauty, she should be a beautiful person.
"Little Miss, are you awake?" Another whispered inquiry.
Just as he was about to say yes, he suddenly coughed violently. I can't wait to cough up my lungs before I stop, and I can't breathe.
A slender hand reached in and lifted the pale pink veil. Xiao Ruo finally saw that face clearly, very calm, accustomed to the expression. skillfully lifted Xiao Ruo up and leaned on her. And she was only thirteen or fourteen years old.
Another beauty in ancient costume came quickly, about the same age, more beautiful than the one next to Xiao Ruo, it was a very dazzling beauty. It's fast, but it's still elegant. He holds a cup in his right hand and holds the bottom in his left hand. As for the cup, it is very single turquoise.
The woman next to her took the cup and leaned to Xiao Ruo's lips, Xiao Ruo raised her head coherently and drank the water in the cup. Relieved the uncomfortable feeling in the throat, turned the head, this time did not need to look through the muslin, it was clear, at a glance, antique boudoir.
Is she dreaming? But why is the dream so real? The feeling of fatigue in the body, the sturdy carved wooden bed under him, the gorgeous dresser not far away, and a little farther away, a desk with the four treasures of the study room is facing the bed. On the bookshelf behind the desk, there were many, many books, probably books that she would never finish reading in her life. Next to the bookshelf, in a blue and white porcelain round jar, there are many scrolled calligraphy and paintings. She seemed to be vaguely able to see that there was once a girl of intellectual age, sitting there, writing and drawing casually.
"Little Miss?" The whispered inquiry pulled Xiao Ruo's thoughts back, and her gaze returned to the face of the woman she was leaning on. "Apricots." Looking at that face, Xiao Ruo suddenly screamed unconsciously. Xiao Ruo was stunned, not knowing what to continue to say. And the one who was called Xing'er smiled faintly: "Little Miss, the weather is good today, do you need Xing'er to serve you to go out for a walk?" Xiao Ruo continued to look at her at a loss, and the dazzling woman next to her had already answered: "The pear blossoms in the yard are blooming, it's so beautiful, it's a pity that the little lady doesn't go to take a look." ”
Xiao Ruo came back to his senses and nodded lightly. Xing'er lifted the quilt, stood beside the bed, and reached out to help Xiaoruo get out of bed. Xiao Ruo's hand naturally went up. Two hands of about the same size were put together, and suddenly, her heart was at a loss again. With her feet hanging on the edge of the bed, the bright-eyed woman bent down, dragged up the embroidered shoes on her foot, led her feet, and stretched them in. Tiny feet, tiny shoes.
Xiao Ruo was helped and walked to the floor-to-ceiling bronze mirror. Although I was already prepared in my heart, I was still stunned when I saw myself reflected in the blurry bronze mirror. At the age of about twelve years old, a sickly face, long waist soft hair, and a thin body that has not yet grown, half a point shorter than the apricot next to him.
Is this her? She has completed nine years of compulsory education, finished high school, was admitted to university, and is in the internship stage, how can she be at such an age?
I can't help but touch my face now, and my skin is delicate. The curved and thin willow eyebrows extend from the head of the eyes to the back of the eyes, and a pair of indifferent Danfeng eyes below, the eyes are like water, as if they have seen all the red dust. Although it lacks the ruddy beauty that a beautiful girl should have, it still can't hide her stunning appearance. Even Lin Daiyu in Cao Xueqin's pen is just such a sick appearance. It is not at the same level as the original public face that is often submerged in the crowd.
Is it really the same as in the novel, she has crossed over!?
This is still ten years of youth, a face that is not exaggerated to say that it is a sinking fish and a goose, and it is not an exaggeration to be ashamed of flowers in the closed moon, is it a preferential treatment given to him by God?
However, he did not die in a car accident on the road, did not suffer from the sudden fire in the apartment downstairs, and did not think about jumping off the building to commit suicide. So why did she cross over?
"Little Miss, what kind of clothes do you want to wear?" Seeing that Xiaoruo didn't answer, Xing'er said to herself: "Why don't you just give the old lady yesterday?" ”
"Okay." Where does Xiao Ruo know what kind of clothes he has, and where does he know what kind of old lady is rewarded. The old lady, could it be her grandmother?
"Tao'er, go out and tell the little girl, you can come in and serve the young lady's grooming later." Then Xing'er walked to the closet, took out a bunch of keys from her arms, inserted them into the lock hole, and with a click, the lock opened. Holding a pink dress in his hand, he stepped over. Xiao Ruo is like a doll, and she is dressed up by Apricot and the maid called Peach. If it weren't for the maid to help Xiaoruo wear, it would be an inevitable thing to wear.
"The old lady really hurts Miss the most, look at this pink drooping sleeve and curl skirt to call Miss the most. I'm afraid that the pear blossoms on the tree will all fall away with shame. ”
The pale pink dress wraps the body, and the white gauze coat is draped outside, revealing the graceful neck, and the pleats of the skirt flow like snow and moonlight, making the gait more graceful and feminine. The pink brocade belt around the waist makes the waist more slender. Maybe if you push harder, it will really break. Turning around and sitting in front of the dresser, he lightly swept his eyebrows and lightly touched his lips, and a little blush made his complexion much better. Simply a flying fairy bun, a few full and round pearls are randomly embellished in the hair, and an emerald hosta is so green that it seems to be about to condense water.
"Is Sister Apricot here?" There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and Xing'er helped the hairpin that had just been inserted, and whispered, "Miss, I'll come when I go to see." Xiao Ruo nodded slightly. Although he was still looking in the mirror, he listened carefully to the conversation outside the door.
"How is Miss Xiao's health today? The old lady asked me to ask. The old lady said that the weather is good today, the pear blossoms are blooming, and the yard is fragrant. If the little lady feels good, she will go out for a walk with the old man, and the old lady thinks about the little lady very tightly. ”
"It's so annoying Sister Mei'er, and I came out of my way to tell a little girl to inform me." Then there was a burst of apricot laughter: "The little lady was about to go to the old lady to say goodbye, and I also heard that the pear blossoms were blooming, so I could take advantage of the good weather to do my filial piety in front of the old lady." ”
"Then dare to be kind, I won't say hello to the little lady, I have to go back to the old lady quickly, the old lady must be very happy to hear it."
Apricot walked up to me and said so.
"Then let's go, don't make Grandmother wait." There will always be encounters, take the initiative, give a good image, it is better than waiting in this cranky thinking.
