In autumn, the day is getting darker and darker day by day. Daxuan no longer implemented curfews from the tenth year of Qinglong, and today's Jia'an Emperor still continues this law. Therefore, although the darkness has been covered from the sky when you first entered the unit, Dingjing City, as the capital of the Great Xuan Kingdom, is still brightly lit.

Daxuan has been founding for a long time, the emperors of the past dynasties have worked hard, and the national strength has become stronger and stronger, especially in the Qinglong Emperor, the dynasty is Qingming, the armament is sufficient, the people are like sons, and the surrounding countries communicate with each other, the national strength has reached its peak, and even the Great Xia and Daqi, which have been on a par with the Great Xuan, can only keep to themselves and live in harmony with the Great Xuan.

As the capital of a country, all year round, the night of Dingjing City is bustling, the sky recedes, and the red lanterns are hung high everywhere, as if the national capital of Daxuan is embedded with bright beads. There is only one place, the mansion of Cui Jing, the servant of the Ministry of Officials in Bajing Hutong of Suzaku Street.

Cui Jing, the tenth year of Qinglong, Emperor Qinglong's hand-picked Tanhua, because he not only has hills and valleys, but also writes a good article, and he is even more beautiful, humble and gentlemanly. According to legend, Cui Jing is the son of the Cui clan of Qinghe, although after the change of dynasties, the clan has long been annihilated in the torrent of history, even if it remains, it has no longer been the glory of the year, but the heritage of the family has not disappeared, Cui Jing is where the Cui family, the family is rich, is the Jiangnan Wang family, Cui Jing high school, this branch moved to Dingjing. Therefore, everyone at the time said that Cheng Nishang, the daughter of the eldest princess of Dingjing and Dingjing Pearl, and the first emperor personally named Princess Zhaohua, is a perfect match in the world.

Unexpectedly, Princess Zhaohua finally married Lie Zheng, the general who protected the country, and Cui Jing married Princess Zhaohua's sister-in-law, Cheng Jinsi.

At this time, most of the Cui Mansion was in the dark. Because Cui's family is from Jiangnan, when he built the house, he spent a lot of money to invite a master who is proficient in garden construction in Jiangnan to design, so Cui's house is different from the flat and neat courtyard pattern in Dingjing City, but the appearance of a Jiangnan garden. It is hidden in the inside, five steps and a corridor, ten steps and a pavilion, surrounded by rockeries, flowing water, enjoy in the daytime, the end of the pleasing to the eye, let people linger, but at this time in the dim sky, but like waiting for the opportunity to move the giant beast, eyeing the tiger.

The Songhe Hall in the deepest part of the house lives Mrs. Cui and Mrs. Cui, and to the west of the house is the Rende Courtyard where Cui Jing and his wife live, next to Rende Courtyard, which is the fragrant courtyard where Cui Wanning, the ten-year-old eldest lady of the Cui family, lives alone, as for Cui Yanqi, the youngest son of the Cui family, he has just turned six years old this year and has moved to Songtao Xuan in the front yard. The purple courtyard on the east side of the house, no matter the area or the degree of luxury, is second only to the Songhe Hall where the second elder of the Cui family lives, and here lives the most noble girl in the whole Daxuan - Emperor Qinglong is the prince of Chaopin, the prince of Yulu, the fief of Suzhou Mansion, the daughter of Princess Zhaohua and the general Lie Zheng, the lord of Feiyun County.

At this time, the purple courtyard, in the dark Cui Mansion, was like a jumping flame, emitting bursts of light: the courtyard door was wide open, as if there would be guests; The big and small maids in the courtyard perform their duties, only listening to the sound of footsteps, but they are busy and orderly; The main room is lit up, and the windows reflect two slender silhouettes, one sitting and one standing.

And in the strict battle of the gatekeeper, finally a few lanterns swayed from a distance towards the purple courtyard. The mother-in-law said loudly to the courtyard, "County Lord, Madame is here!" He rolled up his sleeves and bent over, waiting for the others to arrive.

When the lantern got near, it became clear that it was a dignified-looking woman and two young and handsome maids, one of whom was holding a tray with a sweet white porcelain cup on it. This woman is the sister of Princess Zhaohua, the aunt of Lieyun, the head of the Cui house, and Cheng Jinsi, the wife of Cui Jing.

Entering the courtyard gate, the two silhouettes on the windows of the main house have disappeared, only on the steps of the main house there are two girls, seeing Cheng Jinsi enter the courtyard, among them comb double hanging buns, sideburns with beaded flowers, wearing a green Luo skirt, waist tied with a moon white belt maid girl, hurriedly helped the person next to her, down the steps. And the girl who was being held, even in the dim halo of the lantern, still made Cheng Jinsi's master and servant stagnate.

Qiushui is a god and jade is a bone, and it is used to describe beauty, but if it is used to describe a girl, it is not enough. The white goose egg face, the skin is delicate, the pores can not be found, and the eyes are looking forward to it, like two autumn waters, and when they look at you, it seems to be full of stars, which makes people intoxicated. The nose is small, only lips, but there is a hint of paleness in the full shape of the lips, but this pale not only does not damage the beauty of the girl, but makes the girl's cold and lonely temperament like a snow lotus, and there is a little more pitiful fireworks. The head is like a waterfall and green silk is only loosely tied with a purple ribbon at the back of the head, and the body is wearing a light purple long skirt that drags the ground, which makes the girl look long, and the wide blue waist around the waist is even more inadequate, and there are no other ornaments except for a purple jade jade bracelet with an excellent water head on the wrist. This girl is the owner of the Purple Garden, the Lord of Feiyun County, Lieyun, and the maid next to her is the first-class maid Mo Ju of the Purple Garden.

After going down the steps, Lie Yun let go of Mo Ju's hand and bowed to Cheng Jin Siying: "Yun'er has seen her aunt, and she bothers her aunt to deliver medicine to Yun'er every day, and Yun'er is really ashamed." Different from the sweetness and softness of other girls, Lieyun's voice is the same as his own temperament, with a hint of coldness.

Without waiting for Lieyun to bow down, Cheng Jinsi had already stepped forward quickly, took Lieyun's hand, and hugged it into his arms: "Silly boy, get up quickly." The first emperor and today's son both allow you to be the lord of the county, and you don't need to kneel down when you enter the palace. What's more, how many times has my aunt said that we are a family, and there is no need to pay attention to these false courtesies. Also, it's cool in autumn, don't come out to greet me again in the future, just stay in the house. With that, he picked up the blazing clouds and walked into the house.

Sitting down in the house, Lie Yun personally held tea for his aunt, "Although there is great love from the former emperor's uncle and grandfather and the current emperor's uncle, my aunt and uncle have paid a lot for Yun'er, and treat Yun'er as if it were their own. ”

"Okay, you kid, my aunt admits defeat, anyway, my aunt can't tell you every time," Cheng Jinsi took a sip of the hot tea in his hand, turned his head and ordered: "Hanlu, quickly bring the medicine to the girl, it's cold, let's go this way, I'm afraid it's not hot." "It turned out that the people who followed Cheng Jinsi to the Purple Courtyard today to deliver medicine were the two henchmen and first-class girls around him, cold dew and silk rain.

Han Lu stepped forward, put down the tray in his hand, Cheng Jinsi personally picked up the medicine cup and put it in front of the Lieyun table, "Yun'er, it's really hard for you, you drink this bitter medicine all day long at a young age, my aunt is distressed, but I can't." ”

"This medicine is a life-saving medicine that my aunt and uncle have worked so hard to find for Yun'er, Yun'er doesn't think it's bitter," a smile bloomed at the corner of Lieyun's mouth, "What's more, with it, Yun'er can sleep peacefully every night, in contrast, bitterness has become sweet." ”

After that, a snow-white wrist stretched out, five fingers were slender, and the lid of the porcelain cup was opened, and a bowl of turquoise decoction was fully visible.
