Preface......

Sheng Mingzhu dreamed again, in a courtyard in the twilight quadrangle.

She usually likes to use a bowl of rose tea temporarily at night, which is the maintenance method of the concubine who was begged from the palace a year ago. Rose tea is filled with pearl powder, which can make a woman's skin the same for more than ten years.

Roses are not valuable, but the pearls that are ground every day are not affordable for ordinary people.

Sheng Mingzhu stretched out her arms and leaned lazily on the rocking chair. The beauty of her life, wearing a big red shirt, the sunset is shining, she doesn't feel enchanting, but she has a feeling of being a rich flower in the world, and anyone who sees it wants to climb.

He was sent to Zhenguan a few years ago, and there was another turmoil, and there was no news for several months, and people outside said that he was dead. Sheng Mingzhu is as flamboyant as her face, after the Sheng family fell, she had this backer, and more people offended, and many people looked forward to her, a canary, without the owner to feed her, vomiting blood and dying in the golden cage.

Unexpectedly, she is very comfortable, she is a heartless person. It's better now that he's gone, no one bothers her at night - God knows that monster, as long as he comes back, he tortures her, even if she is a darling, she doesn't look for this kind of person,

She held the rose tea in her hand, and was about to take a sip of it. But he was suddenly stopped by his hands, looking up a little suspiciously, but suddenly faced a pair of faces full of blood, the pair of dark eyes were embedded in them, and there was even more black gas, he lowered his head and leaned on the side of her ear, "You are very comfortable?" ”

"Master Hou!!"

Sheng Mingzhu was shocked to get up, but was suddenly pressed down. The corners of the bright red robe were pressed by someone, and it seemed to be entangled by a bird of prey, and it couldn't be turned over. The man's clothes were blown by the wind, like a net covering her, and she shrunk so that she could not breathe......

"Mother!!" Waking up from a dream, unlike the dry mouth in the past, Sheng Mingzhu's entire lungs were cold.

Yun Niang was still sewing a small dress for her only daughter in the summer outside, and when her ears moved, she heard movements inside. Hurriedly lifted the skirt and gave the needle and thread to Huang's mother, "I'm afraid it's nightmare again, I'll take a look and help me hold the ......" Huang's mother took the needle and thread in the master's hand, and hurriedly went in with her.

In early summer, hot flashes in the south.

The curtains in the house were all up, and the little man who had not yet been in the prime of cardamom was greedy and cold, wearing thin silk trousers, and his upper body was also a lotus root pink underwear. She was holding the small quilt, sweating on her forehead, as if she had just woken up from a dream, and her lips were pale.

Yun Niang was distressed, and hurriedly leaned down to hug her daughter, "I'm having nightmares again, don't be afraid, my mother is here." Gently wiped the sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief, her beautiful brows were pursed, and when her daughter's body stopped shaking, she asked, "What's the matter, I've had nightmares every day during this time, what are you dreaming about?" ”

Sheng Mingzhu was originally afraid, but when she heard Yun Niang's question, her whole round face turned red. She couldn't tell her mother that she had dreamed of her and a strange man several times for half a month...... Thinking of this, Sheng Mingzhu was disgusted, a half-old child, who didn't understand the relationship between men and women, was forced to understand.

In addition to nausea is fear.

Putting his head close to Yun Niang's arms, he said in a muffled voice, "I dreamed of the palace and the emperor, and the dog emperor copied our Sheng family." "After the continuous spring rain, Sheng Mingzhu always dreams, one after another. At this age, he should have told his mother about everything, but with this matter, Sheng Mingzhu didn't dare to say it all.

"What are you talking about...... "Glaring at her, and patted her ass for the rest of her life, "It's hot, don't lie on your stomach", Yun Niang is a girl in the township, and she hasn't read much. But I know that this girl has been lazy since she was a child, maybe having nightmares all day long is a lazy disease, "Lingzhu knows that she goes out to study with her cousin every day, but you are afraid of the heat, and you have to stay in the room if you pretend to be sick." ”

Sheng Mingzhu was pulled up by Yun Niang, and her lips pursed slightly.

Huang's mother next to her put on her clothes with Yun Niang. Sheng Mingzhu is thirteen years old this year, her stature is not high, she grew up late, and her chest has just risen and fallen. In the past few days, Yun Niang has been busy sewing her belly pocket and tidying it up for the girl, and she will lead her to sit on the porch outside and watch the fish.

"You are here with your mother, and you have become a lazy girl in the house in Zhenri."

Didn't she become a lazy girl early? Sheng Mingzhu grabbed a handful of fish food that was put aside and sprinkled it casually into the pool, she was bored and sprinkled a handful from time to time. Yun Niang's attention was on the stitches, afraid that it would not be good for her daughter if the belly pocket was not sewn carefully, but Huang's mother saw it from afar with a bowl of mung bean porridge, and hurriedly ran over and patted Mingzhu's paws.

"My girl, when will you be able to behave in this hand, this is a koi that the master has raised for a long time!"

Huang's mother rubbed two handfuls on her body, and hurriedly held her pocket to try to save the fish that came to find food.

"Dad hasn't been here for a long time......" Sheng Mingzhu didn't pay attention either. But listening to Huang's mother, it seems that since her nightmare, her father has not been in her mother's yard for more than half a month. glanced at Yun Niang again, she hung her head, her attention seemed to be still on the stitches, but Sheng Mingzhu felt that she was wronged.

For no reason.

"Did Daddy change his mind?"

Yun Niang's face changed suddenly when she heard this, she put down the work in her hand and slapped Sheng Mingzhu's paws, "You little girl, who taught you this?" ”

Yun Niang has done farm work, her hands are not small, Sheng Mingzhu was pumped painfully, her watery eyes turned red all of a sudden, and the people who watched it were pitiful. When the mother is used to seeing it, she is also soft-hearted, "The big girl's family, saying these things is laughed at." ”

The surviving koi fish in the pond are still swimming happily, Yun Niang is beautiful, and Jiangnan is a beauty. She was poor in the family, and when she was a maid, she was taken by Sheng Qian and took over the house. Xu is not happy days, Xu is something else, there is always a mist of water towns on this Jiangnan people, although it is gentle, it also makes people feel depressed.

"Daddy doesn't come to see you."

"You are the young lady of the family, your mother is an aunt, and you are a slave...... Yun Niang said, looking at the eyes of her daughter Hei Ling, she was still childish, and changed her head again, "Your father is an official here, and a letter from his hometown in the capital said that he had made a good deal for him, and the Ming family was going home." He's been busy all this time, so he hasn't come to see you and Lingzhu. ”

Yun Niang has a total of two daughters, a pearl, and a spirit bead three years younger than Mingzhu.

She talked about her two daughters, but she didn't say anything about herself. Sheng Mingzhu used to make trouble, but now she is just suddenly stunned - dreams and reality alternate, which always makes people a little unclear. Sheng Mingzhu slapped herself, it hurt, and then she fainted.

The last thing I saw before fainting was the old face of Huang's mother pounced.

——

"It's over...... I'm afraid it's heat stroke. "Strange voice

"No, just sit with me by the pool outside for a while." This is mother's, Sheng Mingzhu can hear it. After a while, there was the sound of brushing again. Yun Niang took the prescription, thanked the doctor, gave the prescription to Huang's mother, and whispered, "In the future, forget about mung bean porridge, don't give her anything to drink." ”

Yun Niang came from a bitter background, mung beans are cold things, and the price is cheap. She ate this to cool off when she was a child, and she feeds this to her daughter as well today.

"It should have been given up a long time ago", Huang's mother went out to boil medicine, she has been with Yun Niang for seven or eight years, not so much an old mother, but more like an old lady, "There are ready-made ice basins, and it is not without a share, I drove Mrs. Ming'er to get the strip, I went to get it for us" She had a loud voice, and she could hear it outside the house.

Sheng Mingzhu was still asleep, she was a little awake, but she didn't want to wake up.

After a while, there was another sound of kicking and tapping, and the curtain outside was lifted again. The light and shadow shone in, the summer light was hot and dazzling, Sheng Mingzhu frowned, his eyes narrowed, and he saw a young man wearing a purple brocade robe and a black gauze hat walking over.

He has a pair of wind eyes, slightly longer, like peach blossoms. Sheng Mingzhu followed his eyes, and Yun Niang was apricot eyes.

The sun was shining outside, and a heat spread to Sheng Mingzhu's forehead with his hand. After Sheng Qian tried that his daughter did not have a fever, he turned around and loosened the neckline, and at this time, the stuffy heat in the room also instantly spread to him, and his eyebrows sank in an instant.

"Isn't there ice in the house?"

Yun Niang tilted her head, holding her left arm with her right hand, and a slender white and tender little arm was exposed. Sheng Qian's heart was blazing, and he didn't know whether it was anger or sideways, he looked at her, there was no ice in the room, and his eyes seemed to be soaked in ice, "Don't you speak dumb?" Liu. ”

She was silent with him, why.

Sheng Mingzhu was annoyed in her heart, and she didn't want to get up at all. Just listening to her father embarrassed her mother again, and thinking about the intermittent scenes in the dream, she was about to wake up.

Sheng Qian heard the voice and hurriedly put a soft cushion on his daughter, and said busily, "Nan Nan woke up, how do you feel?" Still uncomfortable? This tone is not like the man who was indifferent to the concubine just now.

Sheng Mingzhu's fine brows furrowed, looking at Sheng Qian pitifully, there was still a little hope in her heart, "Daddy, I heard my mother say, in a few days will we go to the capital?" Is it? "Don't go, don't go, don't go, she shouted almost ten thousand times in her heart.

But the facts are always unsatisfactory, Sheng Qian gently sorted out the hair on his daughter's forehead, "Dad is dealing with the affairs of the government these days. I will be able to return to my hometown in the capital next month, are you not happy? ”

Sheng Mingzhu felt that her heart was about to crack. She even felt a little ridiculous, she never knew that the things in the dream couldn't be taken seriously, so even if the father's wife Song in the dream hurt her mother, she was just a little far away from the Song family, but why, why? The first time she dreamed was at this time, when her father was promoted and went to the capital.

Sheng Mingzhu didn't take this dream seriously at first, she forgot all about the previous ones, and occasionally remembered a stubble, she felt that God was joking with her.

"Nannan, Nannan, why is your face so white, what's wrong?" Sheng Qian found that the girl who had always been like a little parrot suddenly fell silent, and when he lowered his head, he found that her face was unusually white, and he picked up her face again, and said nervously, "Nannan, look at Dad, why are you uncomfortable?" ”

Sheng Mingzhu burst into tears almost instantly, if there was a chance to come true, if it was. Dad will die, mother will die, she threw herself into Sheng Qian's arms, her little face was half buried, "Dad, let's not go to the capital, okay, okay, okay?" ”

Sheng Qian thought that children loved to play, so how could he be unhappy when he went outside. It's just that now his daughter is crying and has become a little cat, so pitiful, he doesn't know how to coax her. The orders from above have come down, and there is no reason not to go.

"Shame, little girl!" A small figure suddenly popped in from outside, carrying a bunch of sparkling purple grapes in his hand.

"I know, my sister is afraid", Sheng Lingzhu was only ten years old, and the little person who looked half a foot tall walked to her sister's bedside, and climbed up with her feet next to her, "Don't be afraid, I'll protect you." Crying nose is a little girl. ”

Sheng Lingzhu was taken into the clan by Sheng Qian, and he always thought he was a man.

Mingzhu's eyes opened slightly, and she saw that her sister's originally cracked heart was smashed with a hammer again. In the dream, there was a spiritual bead, and after reading a few books, I really felt that I could save the people from fire and water, and she became the youngest woman in Dawei, and she was gone.

Compared with other female dependents in the dream, Lingzhu was beheaded or divided into five horses with the Sheng family man. The five horses were separated, not only did her heart hurt when she thought of this, she felt a little angina, and looking at the spirit bead that was still fat, the world was spinning.

"Nannan, Nannan, what's wrong with you?!"

Suddenly there were a lot of voices in my ears, both male and female. In the end, there was an old voice, as if the doctor was going and coming back, "Quick, pinch people, pinch people, this is Lord Yama calling the soul!" ”
