It's the same with the rain at the moment.

She didn't know how to tell the boy about the past.

"You should know a lady named Yumian." After a pause, she said.

The young man nodded, and a smile appeared on his face: "I know, Aunt Yumian!" She was so nice to me! ”

Su Yu smiled and said, "I know your Aunt Yumian, and I also met your parents when I was a child. When you performed the full moon ceremony, I also went to your house with my aunt and saw your full moon bag in swaddling clothes. ”

The young man's eyes lit up, and he listened carefully, and when he heard the end, he showed a somewhat shy expression.

"Can you tell me who my parents are?"

He hesitated, and asked in a somewhat eager tone.

"When I asked Aunt Yumian before, she said she didn't know, she only said that I was a child she picked up."

"They are very nice people and have a great kindness to me." Su Yu replied to him.

"I wasn't in Chang'an before. Now that I'm back, I want to pick you up, and I'll have one more brother in the future, would you like to? ”

The light in the boy's eyes went out. After a pause, he shook his head: "Thank you." I don't go to your place, but it's good now. ”

"I'm going to work! I'll go first. ”

He bowed respectfully to Su Yu, finished his salute, and walked out.

In the farewell voice of Gao Da Niang enthusiastically calling her to come again next time, Su Yu left in a gloomy mood.

She understood the boy's decision. In the most difficult time of his youth, he grew up alone in a ruined temple.

Although the orphanage has the support of the imperial court, at most it can maintain no starvation to death. Growing up in that kind of place, there will never be any good memories. Now that he doesn't need anyone else anymore, someone who claims to be an old friend comes to him and says to take him away, how can he rush to follow?

What's more, her future is also uncertain, in case even she can't protect herself in the end, picking him up will hurt him.

In the end, Su Yu comforted himself like this.

Back to Yongning House, it was still early in the evening. Pei Xiaoyuan sent her back to Ziming Courtyard, stopped outside the courtyard gate, and suddenly said to her: "Lu Wusi is still short of some manpower, and I am currently considering recruiting some athletes who are familiar with Chang'an Quxiang." After coming in, if you can make a contribution, you may be transferred to a full-time position in the future, and you will be in the sixteenth guard as a feather forest. I think that Gu Twelve is quite suitable, it just so happens that this person has also had military experience before. I'm going to arrange for him to recruit some more suitable people. ”

On the way back, she was immersed in her own thoughts, and she didn't pay attention to what was going on with him, only that he had been riding silently by the side. I didn't expect to suddenly open my mouth like this.

She was stunned, but then reacted and understood his intentions.

The young man was tall and strong, and he had also practiced martial arts with Gu Twelve Bi in the past. If he can join Lu Wusi to do things, I don't know anything else in the future, depending on his own ability and creation, at least for now, it is to give him a chance to change his fate, than to ask her to bring her back directly and stay by his side.

For a while, Su Yu was extremely moved.

"Great. Thank you! ”

She didn't know how to fully express her gratitude at the moment, and looked at him with delight.

He smiled and nodded.

"I'll go and confess this, you can rest." After finishing speaking, he turned around to stay, and suddenly seemed to remember something, turned his head and said again: "You don't have good hands, don't paint!" Then he walked away quickly.

Su Yu watched his back disappear, and his depressed mood was swept away, and he entered briskly.

He seemed to have eyes that could read her mind through.

It's okay to come back outside, and she really wants to paint.

Qu Jiang Xingle is not needed, if something like that happens, she will draw it, and King Ning will probably feel unlucky. But you can draw something else, not only to practice the brush, but also to pass the light.

However, since he specifically reminded him, Su Yu also complied.

Qingtou was directing the hired handymen in the western courtyard to clean up the courtyard and the road, and the partition wall made some noise from time to time.

It turned out that he moved in too hastily, and only cleaned up her place yesterday, and the west courtyard where he lived didn't even have time to clear the weeds in the courtyard.

He's not there, she's fine.

Su Yu went, stopped outside the courtyard gate, and looked inside.

Qingtou ran over and asked if it was noisy with her.

Su Yu said it was okay and asked if there was anything she needed help with.

"How dare you let Xiao Langjun do it, you are a guest, but if it's really okay, or come in and help me see what Langjun is still lacking in the house, I can go to the West Market to buy it."

If only Eminem were here, it would be taken care of properly. However, Xiao Langjun is also a female lady, and so is her.

Su Yu hesitated slightly, walked through the court, and entered with Qingtou.

There are three rooms in the west courtyard. His bedroom is in the middle, the pattern is square, against the wall is a simple bed and bamboo table, a few wardboxes, the west window outside the square bamboo poles, sparse reflection, the window is furnished a case, there are pen and ink things on the case, should be used for reading and writing.

Looking around, the four walls of the house are empty, clean and clean.

Su Yu walked over, pushed the window and took a look, so that he had time to build a bamboo shed outside the window.

This house is westward, the weather is getting hotter, and the west sun will invade the house without the next month. Build a shed to shade the sun, and the house can be cooler at night. Then go buy a curtain to stand on the bed.

"Go buy that kind of light gauze tent that is woven into a dense eye, which is both ventilated and insect proof."

Qingtou sighed: "This is not cheap!" Such a light tent in the West Market, I think it will cost at least 10,000 yuan! The family rests in the courtyard, hires people to pick up soil, and has been using money everywhere recently! Do you want to buy a green cloth tent instead? Anyway, Lang Jun used to use green cloth tents. ”

"I'll give you money! The cloth tent is only suitable for winter, and it is too stuffy in summer. What's more, it's Westinghouse again, and it's already hot. Su Yu said.

Seeing that Qingtou turned her eyes and looked over, she hurriedly said, "Didn't I receive some rewards today?" There is money in it. When I borrowed your family's Langjun's. You don't have to talk to him. Whenever you have money in the future, you will quietly pay me back. ”

"Good, good! Then borrow it! ”

Qingtou rubbed his hands, "I'll buy it tomorrow!" Thanks to the blessing of Xiao Langjun, let my family Langjun also enjoy it! ”

Su Yu nodded, and was about to ask him to follow him to withdraw the money, when suddenly at this moment, a guard from Pei Xiaoyuan's house came outside, saying that a palace eunuch surnamed Cao came to the palace and looked for her by name.

Suyu hurried out.

Sure enough, it was Cao Eun, standing solemnly in the atrium, and changed into a cold face, and when he saw her, he shook off a rhinoceros in his hand and ordered her to enter the palace with him immediately.

Su Yu didn't know the bottom in his heart, and asked tentatively what was the matter.

"You'll know when you go! Hurry up! Don't delay! ”

Su Yu looked back at Qingtou, and then he could only hurriedly go out and ride to the palace. When she arrived, she found that instead of going to the Jixian Hall as she thought, she was directly led through the third palace gate, through the academy, several halls, and finally, she was taken to the Purple Cloud Palace, which she could only look at from a distance but could not get close half a step away.

She didn't know what was going on, her first reaction was that the emperor summoned her to ask her about King Kang's abandonment of the second county lord yesterday to escape by himself?

Her heart pounded, nervous, excited, faintly hopeful, and, finally, from the deepest part of her heart, there was an indescribable trepidation.

She was scared at the moment. She knows.

When he followed Cao Eun up the palace steps, his spirit was too shaky, he didn't pay attention to the steps under his feet, he tripped and fell, he fell in front of the palace gate, his knees hurt, and he hit his wrist, and the skin that had stopped bleeding was broken again, and the blood slowly seeped out.

Cao Eun stopped, turned his head to look at her, and frowned impatiently: "What's going on?" Watch! After you go in, be careless and cure your sins! ”

Ignoring the pain, Su Yu hurriedly got up and followed into the most mysterious and supreme palace of the Holy Dynasty.

She walked not through the main entrance, but entered the palace through the side door, passed through the corridor, and finally seemed to come to a side hall in the west.

The tent in the hall hung down to the ground, silently, and the incense burner rose curling incense.

At this moment, the sun is still shining outside, but it is dim inside.

As soon as he entered, Su Yu felt that his whole body was cold, his arms had goosebumps, and it took a moment for his eyes to fully adapt to the dim light in the temple.

Cao Eun led her to the arrival, retreated herself, and left Su Yu alone in this open, dark and damp palace.

Su Yu didn't dare to walk around, and waited with bated breath. After a long time, she finally heard footsteps and hurriedly turned her head to look.

A palace eunuch led a group of people, each holding a basin of water, towels, soap, clothes, socks, boots, smokers, etc. After ordering her to clean her hands, she stripped off her outer clothes and left only her middle clothes, put on a new set of clothes similar to those of these palace eunuchs, put on her boots again, and finally smoked them again from head to toe, and then led her to continue to move forward, came to the inner hall, pointed to the west wall and said: "Your Majesty's order, I order you to draw a picture of the Golden Mother and Yuan Jun here." ”

The Golden Mother Yuanjun is the Queen Mother of the West.

The goddess with the Queen Mother of the West as the core is a common mural content in Taoist temples.

It was an accident that she was asked to come here to paint.

Su Yu was stunned, and suddenly thought of something.

Previously, in the study of painting, she had heard some inside stories about the original envoy of the painting academy who was killed because his paintings angered the emperor.

The envoy was ordered to make a picture of the Queen Mother of the West in the Ziyun Palace, but unexpectedly, not long after the painting was completed, the Queen Mother of the West was bleeding inexplicably on the wall.

What's even worse is that it is said that the image of the Queen Mother of the West is based on the late Empress Zhaodeok.

When such a thing happens, it is obviously impossible to survive from the emperor's hands.

Su Yu came back to his senses, hesitated, and said tentatively: "Can you have a face in the painting?" ”

The palace warden ordered her to come. Walked to a small pavilion nearby, gently pushed the door open, and led her in.

Walking into this small pavilion, the palace eunuch even seemed to become pious, silently walked to a painting case, first knelt down and kowtowed to the painting case respectfully, and ordered Su Yu to do the same.

After kneeling, the palace eunuch got up, carefully uncovered a brocade cover covering it, and motioned for her to come forward and look at it with his eyes.

Su Yu's eyes fell on the case, and the person froze on the spot.

This is an old painting that looks a little old, the silk surface is slightly yellowed, and not only that, but it has also been thrown into a furnace in the past, not only burning off the horns, but also breaking several overheated holes.

The person in the painting is a mother and daughter.

The woman's palace dress, very young, extremely beautiful, she sat on the couch, her posture was leisurely, she bowed her head slightly, and looked at the girl at her feet with a smile. The girl looked like she was three or four years old, combed her hair in a double bun, wore a small skirt that reached her chest, and carried a small brocade pocket with gold leaf. She crouched in front of her mother, touching a Persian white cat on the ground.

The picture has been very badly damaged, but it can still be seen that the painter is extremely meticulous in his observation, meticulous drawing, and painstaking with his brush. In the painting, the gentleness between the eyebrows of the palace beauty and the joyful expression of the little girl are all vivid, not only that, but even a strand of hair is expressed in detail.

She stared fixedly at the broken picture of the cat on the case, motionless, and didn't even know when the palace eunuch next to her would exit, until an eerie cold voice suddenly came from her ears: "What are you crying about?" ”

Only then did she realize that she was crying.

Chapter 47

Ayya?

Is it Aya's voice?

In an instant, Su Yu's heart throbbed violently and beat rapidly.

The moment this voice entered her ears, from the deepest part of her memory, a sense of familiarity was immediately born in her bones, no matter where she went, no matter how long it was, she would never forget it.

However, it was not the voice of Aya she remembered. It sounded old, hoarse, and she had a coercive sense that was completely unfamiliar.

She looked up and looked around.

At this time, the soft voice of the eunuch who had just brought her here followed in her ears: "Presumptuous! In front of the holy driver, dare to be so rude? ”
