Antecedent:

There is a big official surnamed Wen in the capital, and everyone in the world knows that the Wen family has made several great contributions in the previous dynasty and has received a lot of rewards from the royal family. The emperor praised the Wen family for its talents, but he was afraid of the high merit and the master, so he had already had the heart to eradicate it.

At that time, Wen Ruyun, the head of the Wen family, also saw the emperor's uneasiness, so he spent a few years to disperse his power, and under the pretext that he was old and wanted to spend his old age in peace, he honestly handed over the real power in his hands, and asked the emperor for a remote and clean place on the outskirts of the city, and moved out of the palatial mansion. The emperor was naturally "reluctant" at first, but seeing that he insisted on doing so, he had to "endure the pain and cut his love".

Away from the temple, the power is scattered. I am afraid that it is difficult for the Wen family to have the glory of the past, fortunately, the cool villa on the outskirts of the city is like a paradise, Wen Ruyun knows that he has not chosen the wrong path, he has preserved the lineage and reputation of the Wen family, even if there is no possibility of reappearing, but there must be the name of his Wen family in the history of the country, and he is willing to close his eyes at this moment.

Wen Ruyun only had a son when he knew the age of the Mandate of Heaven, named Wen Yuan.

Wen Yuan was strictly taught by his father since he was a child, and when he was crowned, Wen Ruyun personally promised a marriage for him and married the daughter of the Liu family of an ordinary family.

His wife, Liu, has a gentle temperament and treats people very appropriately, and she is often smiling when people are down. Although he was born in an ordinary family, he is knowledgeable and courteous, and he is in harmony with Wen Yuan. After Wen Ruyun's death, Wen Yuan named Qingliang Villa "Xiuyuantai".

Liu later contracted a stubborn disease, and he had to repair the aura of the mountains and rivers in Taiyuan Taili for more than ten years. After giving birth to a daughter, he died, and Wen Yuan had a son and two daughters, and Wen Yuan named his newly born daughter Wen Yang. The eldest daughter Wen Jinnian is eleven, and the second son Wen Jue is eight years old.

Wen Yuan swore at his wife's grave that he would never marry again and raise his children alone.

Wen Jin was regarded as the crown princess by the prince at the age of seventeen, and people all over the world talked about it, saying that the Wen family must be re-entering the court. The emperor was naturally suspicious, and tried several times to obstruct the attempt to stop the crown prince. The position of the crown princess must have to have a "role" to be able to do it, and the best way for the heavenly family to win the hearts of the people is to become a "relative of the emperor". But the crown prince wants to marry someone from the Wen family, who was once the emperor's most jealous, if he says it on the surface, I am afraid that it will make the world talk a lot, saying that the emperor is not a magnanimous person. This royal reputation is naturally important, but you must not lose the face of the Son of Heaven because of a woman.

The emperor was scruples, Wen Jin was smart, and naturally knew that the emperor was worried, so he asked for a secret conversation with the emperor, and after the secret talk, the emperor actually agreed to the marriage. It was rumored in the world that Wen Jin said that when she entered the secret pavilion and said a word, the emperor had to admit that she was her "daughter-in-law". Some people also say that the remnants of the Wen family are still there, and they use this to threaten the emperor......

But no one knows the facts, and the rumors are just rumors, just whispered talk by the people after dinner.

For several years, ups and downs.

It snowed again on the night of the New Year's Eve.

Except for some shallow horseshoe prints, there was not even a figure on the road. Because it is just after the Lantern Festival, festive lanterns are hung on the beams of each house, which are red and reflect the snow, which is also particularly beautiful.

The wanderers in the capital never cared about what day it was, nor did they care if it was time to reunite with their families during the Lantern Festival. They only know that the golden incense building in the capital is constantly singing day and night, the girls' soft waists always need someone to snuggle up, and the best peach blossom brew and daughter red are always warm and waiting for people to drink.

The boy will not live up to this beautiful spring if he disappoints anything, and he can't wait to die in the arms of the girls in Jinxianglou.

But who can enter Jinxiang Building? If you are not a big official in the court, you have to be rich, and you have to be a rich person, and you have to be a scholar, a literati, or at least someone with some reputation, to step into the golden silk soft carpet here. It's just a matter of coming in and begging for some drinks, eating melon seeds and chatting, and you can only listen to the laughter upstairs downstairs. If you want to hold the warm nephrite spring supper overnight, you have to see if you can afford the best dishes called by the Xie Xianju at this table, as well as the spring flower wine that makes people flutter and don't know what day it is.

Wen Jue, the second son of the Wen family, is one of the wandering prodigals, he is a frequent visitor to Jinxiang Building, and the girls all know this second son of Wen, and they all talk about him as a "weirdo".

Who didn't come here to come with his fingers around the spring, but he came again and again to name Nian Qingqing, if Nian Qingqing's girl couldn't accompany him, he would rather sit alone and drink and eat food than other girls to accompany him. And he only asked Nian Qingqing to play and sing pipa songs for him, and did nothing else. There were also bold and curious girls who tried to get close to this "strange guest", but he was incomprehensibly driven away.

On this day, the second son of Wen came again. There is no old bustard in Jinxianglou, and if you want a girl to accompany you, you just need to see if there is a golden hairpin engraved with the girl's name on an osmanthus tree carved from jade in the center of the building. If there is, it means that the girl is idle, and she takes off the hairpin and puts it on the mahogany plate held by the waiter on the side, and naturally someone will call the girl. If not, it is inconvenient for the girl to see.

Wen Jue naturally understood the rules, waited at the door, and went alone to see if there was "Nian Qingqing" on the osmanthus tree made of jade.

He could recognize the hairpin at a glance.

Today's New Year's Eve, he also personally picked out a gift for her, which was a pair of earrings. It's not a valuable thing, but when I passed by, I saw that it was quite delicate and small, and I thought it could be worthy of her beautiful face, so I bought it.

Wen Jue saw her hairpin, smiled and put it into the wooden plate, and went up alone to the cleanest house in the building to wait.

After a while, Nian Qingqing came slowly with a pipa in her arms and a small walk. This little woman is wearing a plain white dress today, with slightly upturned red lips, fluttering long hair curled up with a plain hosta, her sideburns are more red than in the past, her small face is not powdered, she looks very pure, without the slightest wind and dust, not like a Qinglou woman at all. Seeing Wen Jue bowing slightly, he smiled slightly, and said, "Yuan Xi should have been reunited, and Wen Gongzi should have accompanied his family on Yuan Xi Night." ”

Wen Jue shook the wine glass between her fingers, put the gift she was going to give her in the other hand on the table next to her, and said, "But I really want to see you, I was busy a few days ago, but I always think about your pipa strings." ”

She smiled and said no more, put down the pipa in her hand, walked up to him, and her slender and white jade hand unbuttoned the cloak and untied the snow fox cloak for him. As soon as her hand touched the cloak, she felt a cold feeling on her fingertips, and she knew that the snow fox fur was wet, she looked up at him and asked, "Why didn't Gongzi Wen come by car?" ”

He raised his eyebrows and smiled, knowing that she was smart about Qingqing Bingxue, so he said, "When I went out, I saw that the snow was falling just right, and it was in the vast, thinking that the horse's hooves would be messed up when I stepped on the snow, so I walked, but I didn't expect that the wind and snow still fell all over my body with an umbrella, and I actually wet my cloak." ”

Nian Qingqing listened to him, walked to the stove, put the cloak in his hand, held it above the stove, and said, "Then I'll bake this cloak for my son, if the son leaves, it will be warmer if it is snowy." ”

He didn't say anything, sat on the soft couch and looked at her side face red by the firelight, the beauty eyebrows and eyes were intoxicating, looking at the smile that often came with the corner of her mouth, gradually, he seemed to see the shadow of that person in Nian Qingqing again, and he could often look at Nian Qingqing's face and think of that person.

It's a long time ago.

is also like the first time I saw Nian Qingqing hugged the pipa in his arms, the two did not look similar, but the eyes were as clean as spring water, and a smile was like a painting, the little girl was just more lively and cute than Qingqing, and she liked to shake her little feet when humming a small song, obviously the song "Departure" was so bleak and sad, but it became a different artistic conception from the little girl's mouth. He sometimes meditated in the small pavilion on the mountain behind Xiuyuan Terrace, and the little girl always liked to disturb him with the sound of the pipa on the side. At first, he was angry and annoyed, but later he would also think of ways to rectify her, fight and make trouble, and rejoice. He had always liked her, but before he could go to the little girl's house to propose, she left without saying a word.

Later, I inquired and learned that she married Mobei, which means that they are destined to never see each other again in this life. She is so lively, the vast desert is endless, such a lonely place, how can she be trapped.

The good times of the past are like dreams, and he admits that he often comes here to find Qingqing only because he sees the shadow of the little girl in her. He just felt that everything was just a dream, a big dream, a big sorrow, a big sorrow, but he wanted to keep dreaming, and it was best not to wake up again......

"Is there anything troublesome about Mr. Wen?" Nian Qingqing didn't know when she had already walked in front of him, he came back to his senses, and saw her holding the pipa in her arms and smiling at him.

She said, "If Childe has something to worry about, then I will sing a little song from my hometown to calm Childe's mind." ”

He was about to pluck the strings when he looked up and saw him looking at her, beckoning her to sit down on the couch beside him.

Nian Qingqing was a little puzzled, every time he came, he just asked her to sing a little song to him, and he never got close to her, but now, ......

Although she had doubts in her heart, she walked over and sat down beside him.

She has never been so close to him, and when she got along with him in the past, she only felt that he was a carefree son, with a casual temperament and a good demeanor. But sometimes she can vaguely feel that Wen Jue's gaze when looking at her seems to be able to pass through her and fall far away from her.

Seeing that she was so nervous, he reached out and touched the red plum in her ear, smiled, and said, "It's so beautiful." ”

I don't know if it's about people or flowers.

Nian Qingqing blushed with shame.

It's not that no one praises her for being beautiful and good-looking, it's just that she's so serious, and she's never been there. The girls in Jinxianglou all have the posture of sinking fish and geese and closing the moon and shy flowers, a little rouge gouache can make them even more beautiful, Nian Qingqing's appearance is good, but among the thousands of flowers, it seems to be a fresh flower, far more amazing than other girls. Others praised her, but it was just a casual glance, and she felt that it was still fresh and refined.

"Qingqing......" he asked with a smile, "I have never asked before, how did you come to Jinxiang Building." "A good woman like her should live in a better place, although Jin Xianglou treats them well, but after all, it is a land of smoke and willows......

Hearing him ask like this, Qingqing's heartbeat seemed to fall, she slowly turned sideways and said, "Childe, the rules in Jinxiang Mansion do not allow us to tell the guests about our life history." ”

After all, the girls who came here have their own miserable things in the past, aren't they?

He understood something, and felt guilty for his momentary rudeness.

"If so...... Will I redeem you, willing? ”

Ransom...... That is the most beautiful dream of all Qinglou women......

But she didn't want to.

"When I left Jinxiang Building, I was a lonely ghost, where can I go? Thank you for your kindness, I think you will be in trouble if you redeem me, Qingqing stays in Jinxiang Building, you don't have to trouble anyone, and you are also relaxed. ”

She is here, she is the floating grass of the world, she doesn't rely on anyone, and she doesn't have to trouble anyone. Although it is lonely, it is rare to be free.
