The rain continued to fall until midnight, and the water on the roof kept falling, dripping down the eaves of the green tiles, like beads, ticking and hitting the stone steps, like a deep boudoir woman whimpering and complaining.

Rong Pian was disturbed by the sound of the water, and he didn't sleep well, his back was cold, as if he had fallen into a nightmare, and between half dreaming and half waking up, there was always the appearance of weaving dreams and hiding his face and crying in front of his eyes during the day.

Sad and restless, thin and fragile, like fireflies that can be blown away by the night breeze at any moment.

The fragile figure gradually overlapped with some pictures in his heart, and he seemed to return to the past in a trance, back to those days filled with a faint smell of medicine and bitterness.

Weaving Dream's taciturn appearance is so similar to that woman that it makes him feel a touch of fear for no reason.

It was hard for him to imagine what he would do if something like that happened again.

It's always so obscure and hard to understand.

What kind of time was that?

He closed his eyes again.

The spring in Qingcheng always comes a little unobviously, and when the grass and trees in the courtyard are crawling with buds, I know that spring has arrived.

He was born on such a spring day, with all kinds of complicated eyes of others.

There is a small town outside Qingcheng, called Jacaranda Town, there is a beauty in the city who moves the world, it is the little daughter of the Guan family, Guan Yingshan.

The Guan family is not a famous family, nor is it a martial arts family, just an ordinary businessman, but because of this beauty in the family, it is famous, and many people come to visit and step through the threshold, just to see the beauty.

Guan Yingshan, at a young age, has already become famous, all say yes, hibiscus is not as good as beauty makeup, the water hall wind comes to the pearl and green fragrance, the head of the moth eyebrows, clever smile, sinking fish and falling geese and birds are noisy, shy flowers and closed moon flowers tremble, just Guan Yingshan's eyes, it is so beautiful that people are unforgettable, when the scenery of this prosperous world can be placed.

His mother is Guan Yingshan, who is famous for her beauty.

Sometimes, beauty is a sin that brings misfortune.

A chance encounter when he was young made Rong Xun fall in love with such a beautiful girl.

It was outside the temple in the mountains of Jacaranda Town, Guan Yingshan went to worship incense during the Qingming Festival, Rong Xun ascended to the position of the head of the family, and went out to relax.

It rained in the sky, Rong Xun took shelter from the rain under the eaves outside the temple, and Guan Yingshan knelt on the futon in the temple and prayed softly.

"The believer just wants to find a sincere person, share joys and sorrows, and carry a white head, so that the years will be safe. ”

As they turned, they met each other by chance.

It is said that they escaped into the empty door and cut off the seven emotions and six desires, but they were in the sound of the Buddha, and the tide of love was surging, like a fate.

However, when he learned that Rong Xun was the head of the Rong family in Qingcheng, Guan Yingshan was a little hesitant, in the end, it was not an ordinary family, the door was not right, and the momentary emotion could withstand the test of time?

But Rong Xun said, looking for and seeking, isn't it just looking for a true person?

In a word, it is to tell her to lose her armor.

Guan Yingshan was still full of love in the end, and with Rong Xun, he stepped into the courtyard deeply.

I don't know if she thought about what kind of future she was going to face at that time.

At that time, the power of the Rong family was gradually declining, and the status was not as prosperous as before, Rong Xun first became the head of the family, and the elders of the family were in a high position, divided power and seized power, and were constrained everywhere, so that Rong Xun could not make an independent decision, and suffered a lot.

But Rong Xun fell in love and insisted on marrying Guan Yingshan, the elders of the clan looked down on the Guan family's court, felt that the two were not compatible, and the forces in the clan did not help, and refused to let Guan Yingshan enter, and at Rong Xun's insistence, the trouble stopped for a while.

The people in the clan couldn't stop Rong Xun, but they couldn't let go of their dissatisfaction, so they began to embarrass Guan Yingshan openly and secretly.

That is, she has no power in her family, cannot bring tangible benefits to the Rong family, and cannot afford to be the head of the Rong family.

Fortunately, at that time, Rong Xun had a heart and maintained it everywhere, although it was still a little difficult to resist the bad words of the clansmen, but it always gave Guan Yingshan a comfort.

After many years of marriage, Guan Yingshan became pregnant, and finally stopped the Rong clan who had been poking her backbone, after all, this will be the first child of the Rong family, and it will also be the most promising heir in the future, everyone is watching with their own hearts.

Guan Yingshan has been infected with wind and cold since he was a child, and his body has always been weak, so he is particularly hard during pregnancy, and the tonic of soup and water has never been broken, so that Guan Yingshan smells the smell of medicine almost to the point of vomiting.

However, for the sake of the child in her womb, the crystallization of her and her loved ones, she still gritted her teeth and drank the decoction that made her tongue bitter one by one.

Pregnant for ten months, but because of the cold of spring, unexpectedly premature, it is such a bleak spring season, the child was finally born.

The cry was not very loud, but it finally fell to the ground safely.

It was supposed to be a happy event, and the midwife carefully wrapped the newborn child in swaddling clothes, ready to carry him out for everyone waiting outside the room.

Thinking that the child was a little too quiet, she took a closer look, and was shocked, the newborn baby seemed to be about to suffocate, a little face was purple and red, and her breathing was so weak that she couldn't hear it.

It was sick from the womb.

Everyone was shocked, and Rong Xun quickly called the pharmacist to come over and check.

As a result, the peach blossom tuberculosis, the sick person, the complexion is as pale as snow, the cheeks are as bright as peach blossoms when coughing, and when coughing up blood, the lips will become more and more ruddy, like flowers on the face, as bright as peach and plum.

Although the name is beautiful, it is very difficult to treat and is almost terminal.

If you are weaker, it is okay, it is good to give birth and raise, however, the stubborn disease brought out from the mother's womb is actually lung disease, which makes the people in the clan more and more dissatisfied with Guan Yingshan.

Guan Yingshan was exhausted after giving birth, her body was weak, as if she had taken a trip from the ghost gate, she closed her eyes, but she heard the cynicism of the clansmen in the outer hall.

The body is lighter, and the heart is colder.

"Look at this skinny mess, can you get through?

"What did I say at the beginning, this woman is a scourge! It must be her such a wicked person who caused her child to suffer! You see, how did this good child become so sick?"

A female elder in the clan suddenly covered her lips and laughed when she heard this, with a look that she had expected, "Cough, too, the old body did not agree to this marriage at the beginning, and our head of the family is good, and he insists on going his own way! If you have to marry this wild girl from the countryside, what is the use of having a beautiful skin, can't the young lady of the Wu family in Quzhou compare? Don't look at the Wu family's business that she can compare? I don't know the severity, hmph, things that can't be put on the table are always cheap. After speaking, he used his sleeve to cover the corners of his lips that were slightly hooked because of schadenfreude.

"What about the beauty of the skin, how good can people look when they are old and yellow? It makes people lose their interest, the head of the family is just greedy for a moment of beauty, but he must not think about the Rong family, this is the heir of the Rong family in the future, and he must not be sloppy!"

They are always like this, jealous of the prosperous face that makes the world fall for themselves, but they are so hard that they disdain it.

"How many years has this Rong family been established, but I haven't heard that there are still people in the clan who suffer from tuberculosis that is born like this!

"I see, she's a wicked!"

Everyone, you say a word, you insist on poking the knife into Guan Yingshan's heart, and don't care whether the poisoned knife will stab Guan Yingshan's heart to a thousand holes.

Guan Yingshan lay quietly on the bed with a white face, her beauty could not be stopped by her sick face, but her open eyes were dim, like a broken puppet.

Before she married into the Rong family, her mother only taught her how to love someone wholeheartedly, but did not teach her how to protect herself.

"Enough! Shut up!" Rong Xun's face became more and more ugly, and finally, he dropped his sleeves and drove a room of people out.

Guan Yingshan's eyes were closed, and a tear quietly fell from the corner of his eye.

○

As if confirming the midwife's words, since he was born, he always had a hint of weakness, relying on decoction to hang his body.

Because of his birth, his tuberculosis, and his mother were privately called demons.

Around that time, his father was not completely obsessed with the struggle for power, completely fell into the obsession of reviving the family, still felt sorry for his wife, and had not forgotten the deep marriage.

Disturbed by the cynicism of a group of old stubborn people in the clan, Rong Xun was probably tired of listening to it, and on the pretext of letting him recuperate with peace of mind, under these inexplicable and vicious speculations and ridicule, his father sent him and his mother away from Qingcheng Villa and fostered them in Yingshan's mother's family, Guan.

The Guan family is not as good as the brocade clothes and jade food in the Rong Villa, and the deep courtyard is high, but it is far away from those annoying mockery, and it always makes people live more comfortably.

It was the most relaxed and happy day in Rong Lian's childhood memories, because Guan Yingshan still had a smile on his face at that time.

His impression of his father Rong Xun only vaguely stayed on a title.

Jacaranda Town, which is a town full of purple flowers, in late spring and early summer, the whole town seems to be submerged by a sea of blue-purple flowers, gorgeous and warm, sprinkled with water, like a dream.

There are no malicious speculative eyes here, no intriguing scheming, he is well taken care of by his grandmother's family, his body has improved greatly, he can feel that his aunt is also very happy.

Of course, the girl who grew up in such a gentle place is full of gentleness in her bones, and Guan Yingshan is a very gentle woman.

She always carried him to the bow of the boat and sat down in the twilight, and with a paper lamp in her hand, she rocked the oars, and carried him through the long river under the bustling jacaranda trees, with small purple flowers floating on the water, and the lights of the town fell into the water with the starlight, and walked slowly with the sound of the oars, to the end of the river to release the water lanterns.

Guan Yingshan told him that the end of the long river connects the heavens and the earth, and the krathong will flow down the river until it stays in the Milky Way, and the immortals who live in the clouds will pick up the river lanterns from the Milky Way to listen to the wishes made by the people.

If you are sincere, the gods will grant the wishes of the wishers.

She said this, but there was no wish written on the lantern.

She held the river lamp, and the gentle firelight illuminated Guan Yingshan's face, and also gently lit up her eyes.

Those eyes are full of the long river of fireworks in this prosperous era, and between the circulation, the gap is frightening, and the brilliance is surging.

It was a pair of eyes that were exactly like his, smiling, gentle, looking at him.

He looked up and smiled a little.
