1. Cold Night (1)
In the courtyard of the Suyin family, the heavy eaves fly obliquely into the night.
Before Renxinzhai, who stored medicinal materials in the backyard, Chu Ning took a deep breath and raised his head again: "Please be accommodating, Jiuchen Grassland is not a precious medicinal material, my mother's old injury has recurred, and she needs this medicine to relieve pain." Mama raising her noble hand can be regarded as saving people's lives. ”
The Suyin family, which is famous for its thaumaturgy, was built in the capital of the Eastern Qi Dynasty. Lindu is close to the sea, and the night in February is very cold and damp, the wind rolls her thin and shabby clothes, and her fingers are red and numb from the cold, and she is pinching her palms.
That Mrs. Xu grinned half of her mouth, stretched out a little finger to pick her teeth, and flicked it in the direction of Chu Ning: "Which one is your mother?" Oh~~ I remembered. Xu Pozi showed an exaggerated ridicule on her face: "Tsk, do you still think you are the eldest lady?" Isn't it true that you have stolen too many men recently, and your body can't bear it, right? Don't worry, it is said that the cheap embryo has a hard life and can't die, so don't be in a hurry to cry and mourn. ”
Her mother, Su Tianxin, was originally a rare daughter of the Suyin family for a hundred years, and it is rumored that when she was born, the Yuan Luo Bead, which symbolizes the power of the spirit, has been faintly visible, and the ordinary children in this family often have to cultivate until they are more than ten years old before they can condense into the Yuan Luo Pearl.
Su Tianxin was the most dazzling pearl in this mansion, at the age of fifteen, he had been ordered by his father to go to Zhou Tianzi's palace to preside over the sacrifice, but after the date of the sacrifice ceremony, Su Tianxin was full of injuries and returned in embarrassment, and brought back an illegitimate daughter. The pearl is covered with dust, and the situation is more miserable than the stones on the side of the road, and now, even a random subordinate doing rough work in the mansion dares to step on the heads of their mother and daughter.
Hearing such vicious words, Chu Ning almost couldn't bear it, and wanted to step forward and slap her, but thinking that her mother was in unbearable pain, she had to endure this breath and speak again: "Mama......"
"Don't howl in front of me," Xu Pozi interrupted impatiently, "The phantom phoenix raised by the eldest lady, the appetite has not been good in the past two days, I have to choose fine rice for it one by one, your mother, what old injury, endure the pain, and if you can't help it, you will die early and be born early." If you knew today, you would have done less at the beginning. ”
The current head of the family is Su Tianxin's second brother Su Yu. That Mrs. Xu is just a sundries, and she has the opportunity to be courteous in front of the eldest lady who has met her grandson, and she is so happy that she forgets what her surname is. She pushed the door of Renxinzhai's treasury shut, locked it with a bang, walked a few steps, turned her head and pointed at Chu Ning: "You are an embryo now, don't want to steal it while I'm gone, let me know, tell the master to discount your legs." ”
"Mama, please help us......" Chu Ning stepped forward and grabbed the corner of Mrs. Xu's clothes.
"Get out, get out," Mrs. Xu, who had a round waist and a strong body, unceremoniously raised her hand and pushed, "Your dirty hands, you don't have to let me get bad luck!" He turned around and hurried away, not forgetting to firmly protect the fine rice left for Youhuang in his hand.
Chu Ning staggered back a few steps, raised his hand to block the dust raised, and said to the back of Xu Pozi who was hurrying away: "It stinks." When the hand was lowered, there was no longer a sad look on the face with a pointed chin, and a small crescent-shaped scar on the cheek was a little cold and green under the moon.
"If you don't let me take it, won't I take it?" Chu Ning squinted slightly, and in the hanging sleeves, there was a slightly yellowed paper stick between his two fingers, and the gold dust on the sign was shiny.
It is better to seek others than to seek yourself, in this family mansion that can swallow life alive, Chu Ning knows the meaning of this sentence best. She held back her anger and grinded with Xu Pozi for so long, just to bring the paper stick used to open the door of the warehouse when she left in a hurry.
The Suyin family is famous for its thaumaturgy, and naturally it does not use locks like ordinary families, and most of the doors and windows are prohibited, and the people in the house open them with paper sticks drawn from the housekeeper and depicted with gold powder. Chu Ning looked around and saw that there was no one, so he had to stick a paper tag on the head of the carp sticking out of the door knocker......
At this moment, a delicate female voice lowered her voice and said: "Youhuang, be careful not to step on those ground locks later, there is a forbidden spell set by Daddy, if you step on a burning heart, it will burn your tail feathers and it will not be easy to repair." Let's take a look quietly and leave, and let my father know what to scold. ”
