In the middle of the night, the moon was white, looking down coldly at the souls of the earth, and the stars were sparsely embedded in the dark sky, like ghostly eyes. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Suddenly, dark clouds obscured the moon, and the originally bright earth suddenly became pitch black, as if the big black curtain on the stage was closed, and it was impossible to distinguish the surroundings at once.

A girl in a sackcloth dress panted and ran in a small alley, the alley was narrow and long, twisting and turning, as if there was no end to it, the girl looked behind her in fear as she ran, and at a glance she knew that there were pursuers behind her, and the girl was sweating profusely and exhausted, and one stumbled and fell on the stone road.

The girl struggled to get up, and when she looked up, she saw a black shadow, and the girl watched in horror as the black shadow raised a sharp long knife and stabbed her in the heart.

The girl let out an "ah" sound, unable to bear the sudden pain, and fell to the ground, she stared at her heart and saw a large pool of blood, red and black, gradually soaking her surroundings......

Seeing the girl die, the black shadow did not leave immediately, nor did he draw the knife, he turned the handle of the knife vigorously, and with the creepy "zizi" sound, the girl's heart was dug out hard, and the black shadow looked at the warm heart in his hand, and let out a hideous laugh, which echoed in the long alley for a long time.

The murder took place on a midsummer night, the midsummer night of the Sui Dynasty more than a thousand years ago.

The girl who died tragically in the alley had a beautiful face, her peach blossom eyes were touching, and her veins were affectionate, like water and mist, as if infinite sorrow was in it. She has a touching tear mole under her left eye...

"The little maid of the Deng Mansion found that she was killed in the Peach Blossom Lane outside He Mansion this morning, and her heart was gouged out." Within a few days, the news spread throughout Chang'an City, "Maybe you were eaten by monsters?" People talk about it like this, and it makes people panic. But then there was no similar case, and after a few months, people gradually forgot about it, and no one mentioned it again, yes, who cares about the life and death of a little maid.

In the boudoir of the youngest daughter of the Deng family, Miss Deng San is dressing up in the mirror and gently pulling her temples, Miss Deng San is a well-known beauty in Chang'an City, with a goose egg face, willow eyebrows, a small cherry mouth, and a black and thick hair. ”

She was the only one in the room, who was she talking to?

A gust of wind suddenly blew in, blowing the gorgeous bead curtain in the room to make a "tinkling" sound, Miss Deng San gently wiped the rouge, while continuing, "Feng'er has always been naughty, how can you stay in this small brocade box with peace of mind, and when the weather is better tomorrow, Miss, I'll take you to the suburbs for a while?" Fox Ridge outside the west wall of the city has your favorite peony flower, which must be in full bloom at this time. ”

"Third Miss, the master called you to the West Hall, so you can go immediately." The nurse knocked on the door outside and whispered.

"Got it, come right away." Miss Deng San replied softly, "Please go first, tell the father to go as soon as the daughter finishes dressing up, and ask the father to wait for the daughter." ”

"Okay, it's raining heavily outside, I'll ask Mama Feng to come and pick up Miss." The nurse said respectfully, and then held up the umbrella and left.

Miss Deng San looked at her gorgeous self in the mirror and chuckled. Pick up the mirror case on the side and put it next to your jade pillow on the bed.

After a while, the rough old mother Feng Ma and several old mothers came to pick up Miss Deng San, even if Miss Deng San was facing the next person, she always had a smile on her face, and she smiled without showing her teeth, whispered softly, and even walked lightly on the ground, without making a sound, as if stepping on cotton.

"What does Daddy command?" Miss Deng San stood respectfully in front of Master Deng and said.

Mr. Deng is over forty years old, with a Chinese face, thick eyebrows and long beard, she looked at the beautiful and moving little daughter and couldn't help but be overjoyed: "The last marriage didn't work out, and I blamed the father for being too hasty, thinking about it left and right, I am ashamed of my daughter after all, I have been sleeping for my father recently, and I am anxious day and night, and finally I have found a good family for my daughter, who is the eldest son of the Qin family in the south of the city, a talent, both civil and military, noble character, and the third lady of my family is really a pair made in heaven. ”

The third lady, who was most favored by Master Deng, looked at her father and smiled obediently, "My daughter's marriage is all up to my father, I just hope that my father will be relieved, and I don't have to worry about my daughter's lifelong events." ”

"Hmm~" Master Deng stroked his beard with satisfaction and laughed heartily, "My son is the most filial and lives up to his father's love for many years." ”

At night, the candles in Miss Deng San's room were still lit, and the personal maid named Chun Tao brought a copper basin to serve the lady to wash her face, and the candlelight was soft, sprinkled all over the boudoir.

After washing, Chun Tao retreated to the compartment outside the screen to keep vigil, Miss Deng San slowly sat in front of the dresser, looking at the bronze mirror in a daze, the sound of rain outside continued, the water droplets under the eaves knocked on the outer edge of the window, Miss Deng San pricked up her ears to listen to the sound of the rain, recalling the past.

It was also a rainy night, the autumn rain continued to fall for many days, the autumn pool was full of water, Deng San embroidered on the window, and the maid Feng'er held her chin and took a nap, Feng'er was dressed very plainly, more than any maid in the house, and even not as good as the old mothers, it was because my father's aunts and wives saw that Feng'er looked too standard, and they were afraid that they would steal their limelight, so they let her wear some burlap clothes, draped hair, and no jewelry at all.

But in Miss Deng San's opinion, such a style is even more charming, and compared with the girl, those aunts with heavy makeup and glamorous makeup seem more and more cheesy.

"Miss, it's time to go to bed, I'll wait for you to wash up." Feng'er yawned and squinted at Deng San.

"Don't worry, wait until I finish embroidering the eyes of this mandarin duck." The female red in Deng San's hand did not stop.

"Let's embroider tomorrow, anyway, Miss's wedding date will not be until the beginning of spring next year." Feng'er persuaded, "It's not good to burn your eyes." ”

"It's going to break my eyes." Deng San took the embroidered handkerchief to the candle and looked at it carefully, "Feng'er will marry General He's family with me next year, are you happy?" ”

"As long as you follow Miss, Feng'er will naturally be happy in her heart." Feng'er blinked and smiled, "Miss is the best for Feng'er." ”

"It's just ......," she said again.

"Just what? But it doesn't hurt to say. ”

"It's just that Feng'er heard that General He has a very strange temper, and he has always been reluctant to marry, and he is not young, he is better than Miss."

"I'm sixteen years old, and General He is ten years older than me." Miss Deng San answered, "But General He's military achievements are impressive, and at his age, it is already a great grace and glory to be named a general from the second rank, and I have heard that General He looks taller and more powerful than Pan An...... It's a good husband...... "Deng San's voice became lower and lower, and his face was slightly red.

"It turns out that the young lady has secretly inquired about General He so much in private...... Miss Xu is spring was moved. Feng'er covered her mouth and smiled, "I'm in a hurry to get married." It's strange to embroider these every day...... I'm afraid that Miss can't wait for Ming'er to marry into that house. ”

"You little hoof, I'll tear your mouth carefully." Deng San said angrily, "You little mouth is getting more and more powerful." I will give you a husband another day, and see if you are ashamed. ”

"My young lady is not ashamed, what is there to be ashamed of my little maid? I'll just be like our young lady. Feng'er couldn't straighten up when she was talking and laughing.

"I can't spare you." Deng San stretched out his hand to scratch Feng'er's squeaky nest, and Feng'er dodged with a smile, got up to find scissors to cut the blackened wick, and the room suddenly became bright. Deng San yawned, stretched, and said lazily, "Let's stop here today, let's rest." ”

"Okay, Mrs. He, I'll go and fetch water for you." Feng'er said mischievously, without waiting for Miss Deng San to catch her, she smiled and flashed out the door.
