The Golden Bough and the Dog Verse 70

Yun Zhu said as a matter of course: "I am not satisfied with your answer. ”

Tang Xian had already pulled two hairs from him, and refused to let her long hair fall into the clutches of the devil again, so she turned around and pushed him.

His strength was not as good as his, and seeing that he had picked a thin and soft hair, Tang Xian was in a hurry, and grabbed the black hair under Yun Zhu's ear.

"Shhhh

Yun Zhujian lowered his eyebrows, and said with a calm face: "I pulled your two hairs together, how many did you pull me?" ”

Tang Xian had never pulled other people's hair, and in her anger, she was a little heavier, not picking them one by one like Yun Zhu, and opened her palm to see that there were three or four black hairs lying inside.

She had a weak heart, her eyes drooped and turned, she handed her hand forward, and said with a face: "I gave it back to you." ”

Yun stopped slapping the hair off her hand and accused: "Just like you, you still have children and grandchildren? You're more like a child than a cloud. ”

As soon as he heard "the hall is full of children and grandchildren", Tang Xian couldn't raise his strength to refute him, the corners of his mouth collapsed, and he lowered his head and stopped squeaking.

"Speak."

Tang Xian's fingers circled around her hair, unmoved.

The cloud stopped on the back of her white hand and saw a thin, old scar from a sharp object.

Ignoring Tang Xian's refusal, he grabbed the hand, flipped it over and over for inspection, and saw no less than three old wounds.

Stroking the scars, he asked, "I've been a grandmother to others, how can there be scars on my hands?" ”

Tang Xian avoided his gaze and said in a low voice: "It's not a small heart......

In fact, he was embarrassed by the old eunuch.

Every time Emperor Rongxiao was born, all the palace concubines and maids had to enter the mausoleum to sweep and perform, and when it came to the death day, the same was true, only one more cry.

Once, a maid accidentally dropped a porcelain bowl and shattered it.

It was not a burial object in the burial chamber, but only a tea drink for the old eunuch.

The old eunuch was instructed by the prince to take care of them, and she was mean and fierce, and insisted that it was disrespectful to the emperor for the maid to break the cup on the day of Emperor Rongxiao's death, and that she should be executed.

The maid cried in fright.

Tang Xian was soft-hearted and took the initiative to take the blame for her, saying that she fell by herself.

The old eunuch was eager to catch her mistake and act prestigiously, let go of the maid, and said a respectful "Niangniang" and said: "Niangniang must have made a mistake, just pick up the pieces and ......."

When Tang Xian squatted down to pick up the pieces, the old lady smashed another cup, and the flying porcelain pieces cut several wounds on her hand, and in the blink of an eye, the thin white hand was stained red with blood.

Later, these scars were left on his hands.

A few scars save a life, it's worth it.

"Isn't it easy to make it like this? Are you a fool when I am ? ”

One can be said to be accidental, but there are so many in one hand alone, and it must be caused by human suffering.

Yun Zhu didn't believe her, she used to think that her family was poor and did rough work after she was poor, but now that she looks closely, she has another guess.

"Is it being embarrassed?"

Tang Xian didn't admit it, he continued to speculate: "I made a continuation for others, and the old immortal went west in a few days, and the children below saw that you were young, so they maliciously bullied you, didn't they?" ”

"How do you know he's dead?"

"You answer me first, but the children and grandchildren are not filial?"

Tang Xian hesitated slightly, "It's not all. ”

Her grandfather's intention to rebel was the first, and it is not possible to blame the children and grandchildren for their unfilial piety, or to blame her family for being unruly.

"You say." She asked.

Yun Zhu sneered and said: "If I can marry you as a continuation, the other party's family background must not be weak, if the old thing is still alive, even if he cares about his face, his children and grandchildren will not dare to go too far." Can be bullied like this, it's not that the old thing is dead, what else can it be? ”

Tang Xian thought about it, it was really like this, after Emperor Rongxiao took her last breath, she was locked in the palace by the prince on the grounds that she was overly ill with grief.

Yun stopped seeing her like this, decided that he had guessed correctly, clasped Tang Xian's hand and said, "Tell me who and where your unfilial sons and grandchildren are, and I will persuade them to let you go free." ”

This "persuasion" refers to generally, and how to say it depends on how much anger he still has in his heart at that time.

"I can't convince ......," Tang Xian muttered in a low voice.

How to convince?

Unless he really seizes the imperial power, no one can convince the current saint.

She said again: "It's useless for you to say, I can't marry again." ”

Yun stopped saying so much, but he still got this sentence, raised his eyebrows, and mocked: "What's the matter, what kind of eunuch and local bully is your son?" Or can other widows remarry, just you? ”

"It's just me!" Tang Xian replied to him.

The two of them sulked.

There was a sudden "click" outside, and the candlelight flickered, sounding as if a lantern had been blown down by the wind and fell to the ground to extinguish.

Tang Xian felt a little bored, so she walked to the window and opened it.

The rain has not yet fallen, but as the night falls, the heat in the wind disappears, and the capital that has been hot for a long time finally cools down.

After blowing the wind for a while, Tang Xian looked back at the window and said, "It's cool tonight, the Moon Tower must be very lively, maybe there will be fireworks." You take me to see it, and I'll tell you a secret. ”

Yun Stop: "What secret?" ”

"This." Tang Xian took out the two agate.

"Say goodbye to me again?" Yun Zhu's face was gloomy, "Don't even think about it." ”

Tang Xian didn't expect him to put the gold and silver treasures away, so he stopped and said, "Aren't you going to recruit troops?" If you don't have money, who will work for you? ”

Yun stopped not responding, and she asked again: "Really?" ”

Still didn't get a response, Tang Xian thought about it, leaned her back against the window, and threw the agate in her hand towards the clouds.

The distance was close, and she threw it quite accurately, and the front and back two were smashed towards Yun Zhu's chest.

Yun stopped catching it with a gloomy face, strode up to her, and jumped out of the window with her waist in his arms.

Tang Xian almost screamed and hurriedly hugged his neck.

When I walked out of Lanqin Zhai, I saw Yun stop throwing his big hand, and the two unsightly agates rolled into the grass and disappeared.

Tang Xian climbed his shoulder and glanced at the grass a few times, but she really couldn't help it, "You have also thrown it like this, you look exactly like her......"

She was insinuating that Yun Zhu was the same as a seven-year-old girl.

Yun stopped hearing it and pinched her waist.

Tang Xian snorted and hugged him tightly, holding back until she got out of the house on horseback, bit him on the shoulder, and returned the revenge.

Chapter 31: Dagger

There was no moon that night, and the night sky was pitch black.

With the wind howling for half a day, the heat of the day is gradually replaced by a cool that rises without warning, which is rare and makes people feel cool.

Tang Xian was carried to the roof of the moon building.

Lanterns hung from the corners of the flying eaves, just right to restore her eyesight and hide her in a glorious halo.

I don't know which powerful family is feasting and drinking in the moon landing tower, The lights are bright, the drums are playing in unison, and the heavenly fairy palace is nothing more than that.

She sits above the "Asgard", looking down from a high vantage point, with a panoramic view of the bustling bazaar and luxurious carriages and horses.

This was the first time Tang Xian looked down from such a high place, and it didn't take long for her to get a little dizzy. Coupled with the fact that the roof was not protected by railings, she was afraid of falling, and she held on to the tiles with both hands and tried to move backwards.

It was fine not to move, but after two moves, I don't know where I did, and a tile came loose and slipped under her feet.

Tang Xian was startled, afraid of hitting the people below, so she hurriedly stretched out her toes to stop her.

The clouds stopped faster than her, and their long legs lifted up, blocking the trend of the tiles from falling. Tang Xian took a step slower, and the outstretched foot pressed against his instep.

Tang Xian glanced at Yun Yu.

Yun Zhu raised an eyebrow, and with a hook of his toes, he rubbed against the soles of her feet.

I hugged and hugged, and for various reasons, there were more intimate touches, but at this time, Tang Xian blushed inexplicably.

Dumbfounded, she stretched her waist and arms, and slowly retracted her feet.

After confirming that the tiles would not slide any further, Yun Zhi also let go, bent his knees slightly, and looked up at the night sky without stars and moons.

Neither of them mentioned the little accident again.

After a while, Tang Xian said in a low voice: "I'm afraid of falling...... You come and hold me. ”

Yun stopped in surprise, "Isn't it okay? You know, my family has strict rules, and hugging and hugging before I get married will ruin my reputation. ”

Tang Xian couldn't see that he was cheap and well-behaved, and the shame in his heart went away with the wind, and he said crisply: "You just owe it!" ”

It was useless to say this, Yun Zhu was not provoked by her.

Seeing that he just didn't move, Tang Xian supported the tile with one hand, and pulled the corner of his clothes a few times with the other hand.

The clouds stopped and swept over, and under the brilliant lights, they faced a pair of watery eyes that jumped with streamers.

With a flicker of his eyes, he retracted his bent knees, stretched out his arms around Tang Xian's waist, and with a moment of strength, he hugged her to his side, close to himself.

After that, the hand was locked on Tang Xian's waist and no longer moved.

He grabbed Tang Xian's other hand, took her and pointed into the distance, and asked, "Where is your home?" ”

Without waiting for Tang Xian to answer, she changed her direction, "Here?" ”

"Or here?"

"Neither." Tang Xian denied it all, and the hand he grabbed exerted force, turned around, and successively pointed to the location of the Tang family's mansion many years ago, then roughly pointed to the direction of the imperial palace, and finally pointed towards Lingnan in the distance.

After his grandfather's death, the mansion was ransacked, and every brick and tile was reduced to pieces, and the prince barely burned the land to ashes.

The Tang family is gone, and she belongs to the royal family.

However, that marriage was not what Tang Xian wanted, she still thought before the age of fifteen in her heart, her parents never gave up on her, so the place where her parents were was her home.
