Perhaps, the end mode of happiness we are looking forward to in the end is just staying with the one we love, day and night. My name is Xiaochao. She is the maid of the Liu family, a family of ship kings. When the master was young, he was imprisoned, so he sent his only daughter, Liu Xi, to be fostered by his best friend, the Prime Minister of the Left, Shen Chu. Zuo Xiang's family has two sons, the eldest son is Shen Nuo, and the second son is Shen Yan. When the master came out of prison ten years later, the young lady was already seventeen years old. The friendship between the Shen and Liu families has become more precious over time, and they decided to get closer.Therefore, Prime Minister Zuo asked the emperor for an imperial edict to marry his eldest son, Shen Nuo, to his young lady.

The seventh day of March is the day of great joy. This marriage has spread all over the streets and alleys of the capital, and it can be regarded as the most concerned event of the year. However, before the sedan chair was carried on the seventh day of March, on the sixth day of March, a fire burned down the Tonglou where the young lady lived. At the same time, all the betrothal gifts and dowry placed in the building were burned down, as well as... Lady's life. That's right, my miss Liu Xi ended her seventeen-year-old life with a fire on the sixth day of March. Overnight in the Liu Mansion, red makeup was replaced by white makeup, and a wedding event turned into a funeral event.

And I, among the servants in mourning clothes, stood silently, staring at the coffin parked in the center of the mourning hall, as if in a dream. The master loves the lady very much, so the coffin he chose was also carved from red sandalwood, painted with gold and embroidered with phoenixes, so exquisite.He sat beside the coffin, thinking of the white-haired man sending the black-haired man away, crying so much that he couldn't bear to live. Group after group of guests came over, offered incense, offered salutes, and comforted me. They were all numb and false in my eyes. They didn't know Miss at all, and even those words that slandered her had flowed from their mouths before Miss was alive.

They said that the young lady of the Liu family didn't behave very well... They said that someone saw Ms. Liu flirting with a man while offering incense, and that man was Second Young Master Shen... They said that when the eldest married Miss Liu, he was actually wearing the green hat of the second... They said that they heard that Mr. Shen hated her very much, but was forced by Prime Minister Zuo to marry her. Since Prime Minister Zuo likes the lady of the Liu family so much, why not marry her himself... They said they said that those bastard words they said finally drove the young lady to death, but now, they still have the face to honor the young lady!Why do you thank them, sir?They are the ones who killed Miss!It was the irresponsible hearsay and exaggeration of these people, which ultimately killed your favorite daughter...

My heart seemed to be slipped by something, it was cold and cold. And at that moment, there was a murmur in the crowd, I raised my head, and saw Second Master Shen walking in from the gate, step by step, his face pale and lost. He is very very handsome. Although the second son of Zuo Xiang's family is weak, he has a beautiful appearance and is famous in the capital. He can be called the first show in the imperial capital. Moreover, he has outstanding talent, excellent in both poetry and painting, and he is many times stronger than that brother who is known as the devil king of the world.

But, but, but... If it weren't for him like this, how could there be such unbearable rumors? He went to the front of the hall, lit incense, bowed three times, and put it on the stove.But he didn't leave, and stood in front of the coffin for a long time.There was a lot of discussion in the audience, and he just pretended not to hear it at all. There was a deep, deep sense of despair on his frosty and pearly face. Finally, he turned around and knelt down in front of the master. The master was shocked: "What are you doing?" "It was my nephew who killed Xi'er. The injury is so painful that I wish I could live!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was in an uproar, and expressions of "these two really have an affair" appeared on their faces.And the master panicked even more, tremblingly said: "You...you..." "Uncle Shi," he raised his misty eyes, eyebrows like distant mountains and eyes like autumn waves, extremely beautiful and extremely sad, "Why did you and my father both focus on Xi'er's marriage and didn't consider me?" That's right, he and Miss are the real childhood sweethearts. He is completely different from his elder brother: Shen Nuo is naughty and mischievous, Shen Yan is well-behaved and gentle; He is the leading scholar in Hanlin...

The most important thing is that he has cared and cared for the young lady since he was a child, unlike his brother, who bickered with the young lady for three days and fought for two days, and they both looked down on each other. He should be the lady's lover! But, master, both you and Prime Minister Zuo only want to marry Miss to Shen Nuo. The master had a painful expression of remorse on his face, he tremblingly helped him up, choked up and said, "What's the use of talking about it now..." Yes, it's too late to talk and ask now. The Second Young Master Shen took out a stack of poems from his bosom, and said in a low voice: "These were written by Xi'er and I in the past, and now I burned them for her so that she won't feel lonely on the road to Huangquan."

He threw the manuscripts one by one into the brazier and ignited them, the flames jumped up and reflected on his face, and they were also clearly extinguished. Back then, Hanmei Yingxue, Xiaoxiaostudio, and the three children went to school together. Shen Yan is the best in writing and won the approval of his master, so when the lady looks at him, her eyes are always full of admiration.When the two of them were discussing poetry, Shen Nuo was lying on the desk and fell asleep. Occasionally, he turned over and knocked over the inkstone. The palm of his hand was stained with ink without realizing it. When he woke up, he wiped his face, and it was all painted on his face superior.

Every time at that time, the young lady would make fun of Shen Nuo: "Brother Yan reads and you read too. Brother Yan has the ink on his chest, but you are lucky, the ink is on your face. It's really a new way!" Shen Nuo was furious, opened his hands and said, "A new path? I'll make one for you too!" The young lady screamed and quickly hid behind Shen Yan. As a result, there were two slaps, and two ink palm prints were printed on Shen Yan's face... Since childhood, Second Young Master Shen has protected the young lady in this way. No matter how big a disaster is, as long as he hides behind him, the young lady will know that nothing will happen again. She trusts him like she trusts her brother.

But... there is no fate. The manuscript of the poem was burnt in the basin, Second Young Master Shen bent down and wept softly, the master supported him and said: "Nephew, get up. With your kindness, Xi'er will rest in peace in the sky." The second young master refused to get up, suddenly a pair of arms stretched out to hold his arm, he raised his eyes and saw the person coming, and exclaimed: "Father." The master also called from the side: "Brother Shen." The visitor is dressed in a purple robe, and he is unparalleled in the country. It is Shen Chu, the left minister of the current dynasty. Zuo Xiang helped Shen Yan up, turned to the master, and said in a low voice: "I... I'm sorry for you. Zixian, I'm sorry for you, and I'm even more sorry for Xi'er... If I didn't want her to be my daughter-in-law too much, If she marries my son, she won't..." He bowed his head, his face was gloomy and dull. But he was originally a man of peerless beauty, who was called "Jade among men" by the late emperor. Zuo Xiang liked Miss very, very much, and doted on her even more than his two sons.Since childhood, the young lady had quarreled with Shen Nuo, as long as she talked about it in front of him, he would definitely punish Shen Nuo severely for venting her anger for the young lady. Once, the young lady and Shen Nuo had a fishing competition. The young lady was not as good as others, and she was about to lose. She kicked Shen Nuo's fish bucket over, and the fish flowed out and fell back into the lake. Let's see how you beat me!" Shen Nuo was furious, and rushed over and wanted to kick off the young lady's fish bucket, but the young lady was already prepared to protect her behind her, and said with a smile: "You can't kick it, you can't, I have three and you don't have one, smelly Shen Nuo you lost!" While the two children were struggling, the young lady slipped and fell into the lake together with the bucket, which frightened the servants in the mansion to their wits. After Zuo Xiang found out, he beat Shen Nuo without asking why, and fined him to kneel in front of the hall, and was not allowed to eat for a whole day and night... That's right, no matter who is wrong, Prime Minister Zuo will defend Miss.Because the young lady looks very much like the woman he admired when he was young, and that woman later married the master. This has become his eternal regret for the rest of his life.That's why he dotes on Miss so much, like a second father. I lowered my eyes, sighed in my heart, and heard Zuo Xiang choked up in my ears: "If I had known that accepting my grace would lead to such an ending, I would rather not look at this child again, and stay away from her forever... Zixian, I'm sorry .” The master wiped away his tears and said: "It's Xi'er who has a short life, so what does it have to do with Brother Shen? And she is too stubborn, she refuses to come out when she's in a position to take revenge on us..." The voice turned , turned to wailing, "No, she is taking revenge on me, just revenge on me..." The young lady always thought that her mother died of dystocia, but she didn't know until she was fifteen that the wife committed suicide. The master and Zuo Xiang are good friends. When he learned that his wife was the sweetheart that his best friend had been looking for for ten years, he wanted to give her to Zuo Xiang, and even wrote a letter of divorce to set her free.But I don't think that the only one Madam loves with all her heart is the master.In shame, indignation and grief, the madam burned herself to death with a fire, and declared her loyalty in such a decisive way. Therefore, this time, Miss, in the same way, sprinkled a lot of salt on the old man's bleeding wound that hadn't healed for many years. The master hugged the coffin and cried bitterly: "Xi'er, I was the one who harmed you, and it was father who was sorry for you...My Xi'er, if you can come back alive, father will promise you everything, and let you do everything...Dad I will make amends to you, dad will rebuild your mother's grave, dad will cancel your marriage with Shen Nuo, dad..." "Father-in-law, what are you talking about?" The melodious and flying voice seems to come from the sky, and it seems to come from hell. My heart jumped suddenly - it was nearly dusk, and I finally taught me to wait for the protagonist. At the gate of the wide-open mansion, a figure appeared, red and red, almost burning people's eyes.Looking intently, it was Shen Nuo, wearing the groom's auspicious attire, walking in step by step. The big red brocade was embroidered with gold thread to show the auspiciousness of the dragon and the phoenix. His wide sleeves and hem were dragging on the ground like water. He walked over with his long hair flying, with three parts madness and seven parts madness. That's right, the man who broke into the mourning hall in an auspicious suit is Shen Nuo. Miss' fiance Shen Nuo. Miss' hit nemesis Shen Nuo. Before Miss was alive... the most hated Shen Nuo. There were more than 300 people in the mansion, all of them had solemn faces and sad expressions, and even the old master Zuo Xiang and Shen Yan were crying heartbrokenly, but he was the only one with the corners of his lips raised, actually smiling. He made a promise, how dare he enter the mourning hall with a smile in his auspicious costume! Zuo Xiang changed his face first, and said in surprise, "Nuo'er, what are you doing here?" "What are you doing?" Shen Nuo smiled slightly, and answered lazily, taking every step so frivolously, "Of course I came to pay homage to my daughter-in-law who died before she got through the door." The master lowered his face: "You are not welcome here, you can go." Shen Nuo raised his eyebrows: "It's strange, it's also Shen's family, father can come here like younger brother, why can't I alone?" "You still have the face to say it!" The master jumped in anger, pointed at him and said, "If you hadn't committed many unrighteous and evil habits, and even got entangled with the little moon in the Red Sleeve Tower, why would Xi'er refuse to marry you? It's not that she doesn't want to marry you, how could she refuse to marry with death..." Shen Nuo's eyes froze on the memorial tablet, then his eyebrows twitched and the corners of his mouth curled up, and he smiled again: "This is even more interesting. It's not a day or two for me to do so many unrighteous and bad habits. Said, now it’s my fault. Father-in-law, you were the one who insisted on marrying your daughter to me, but you.” "you you you……" Seeing that the master was about to lose his temper, Prime Minister Zuo gently stopped him and said, "Zixian, don't be angry, for the sake of my old face, let Nuo'er pay homage to Xi'er, anyway, they also have a marriage contract." Body..." The master glanced at Prime Minister Zuo, and sighed dejectedly. A servant brought the incense to Shen Nuo, but he pushed it away: "What do you want to do with this boring thing, come here, bring me wine." Following these words, twelve men in Tsing Yi lined up. Straight in, everyone held a jar of wine in their hands.I know these people, they are all Shen Nuo's followers. The master was shocked and said, "What are you going to do?" Shen Nuo ignored him, took the wine from the first person's hand, lifted the lid, raised his head and took a big sip, then waved his sleeve and wiped his mouth and said, "Good wine! It's indeed the daughter of seventeen years!" "You, you, what are you going to do?" Shen Nuo still ignored him, looked at the memorial tablet and said: "Ugly girl, I know, you have always hated me drinking. When I was young, I drank secretly in the wine cellar, so you went to my father to complain, and I was beaten by my father." , my father beats me every time I drink and you sue me once, the total is probably no less than a hundred times. From then on, I told myself, it doesn’t matter, one day, I will get back what I got , and there will come a day when you can no longer control my drinking. This day has finally come. I will drink it for you to see. This is the twelve altars of wine you gave as a dowry. It was buried in the ground when you were born Good wine. Haha, Liu Xi, Liu Xi, you have the ability to continue to sue me!" As he spoke, he raised the jar and began to drink heavily, staring at the people around him dumbfounded. Mr. Shen's drinking capacity is famous in the capital for not getting drunk after a thousand cups.He drank it day and night and drank it day and night even when he got sick and coughed. Whenever the lady saw him, the lady would curse him: "You might as well drink to death!" As a result, before he died from drinking, the lady died first. . Another time, when Shen Nuo came back drunk from the Hongxiu Building, he met the young lady in the garden and stared blankly at her. The young lady was annoyed and said, "What are you looking at?" Shen Nuo murmured: "You are so beautiful...you are so beautiful, so beautiful that you cannot reach it, so beautiful that it makes my heart ache..." The young lady grew up with him. For ten years, he never praised the young lady for a good word, and he kept calling her an ugly girl. This was the first time that the young lady praised her for being beautiful. , but Shen Nuo said again: "Little Moon, you really are my little moon!" Only then did the lady know that he regarded herself as a famous prostitute, Xiao Yueyue, plus he rushed over to hug her and was about to kiss her, how could her anger be quenched so far, two slaps across the face didn't count, and she even kicked him hard. kicked him to the ground.Then he ran to find Prime Minister Zuo and cried, saying that the eldest son was drunk and humiliated her. As one can imagine, Shen Nuo was grounded for three full months before he was allowed to leave the room again. The two had such deep grievances, but they were mistakenly accused of being mandarin ducks. How could it be blamed for Miss being overwhelmed and committing short-sightedness? Shen Nuo over there drank extremely fast, and within a short while, the jar of wine ran out. He threw it hard at the front of the hall, the jar cracked and the tiles shattered, and the residual wine flowed freely. The faces of the master and the left minister became ugly. . And when he stretched out his long arms, the servant immediately served the new wine, still tearing off the lid, and drinking with his head up.One altar, two altars, three altars... It is well known that Mr. Shen is addicted to alcohol, but this is the first time I have seen him drinking so recklessly.He is not drinking like this, he is pouring wine at all. When he reached the eleventh altar, Prime Minister Zuo finally couldn't help but stepped forward and said, "Enough is enough, don't drink any more!" Shen Nuo didn't listen.Prime Minister Zuo knocked the wine in his hand to the ground, furiously said: "I said, don't drink any more, do you hear me?" Shen Nuo was hit by that, and he staggered back two steps. When he stopped, his eyes were messed up, as if he was drunk. Zuo Xiang said in a deep voice: "Come here, send the eldest son back!" The servant stepped forward to help, but was pushed away by Shen Nuo, his eyes turned clear again, and he said in a hoarse voice, "Bring the last jar." The last drinker looked at the left minister and then at him, and handed the wine tremblingly. After Shen Nuo took it, he blocked Prime Minister Zuo's blocking hand, and said to the purple coffin, "Ugly girl, I don't want to drink this jar, I'll give it to you." He slowly spilled the wine on the ground, then turned around with the empty jar in his hand, swaying as if to leave, but he had only taken three steps when his figure suddenly stopped, and there was a popping sound, blood spattered and fell on him The ground in front of it was bright red. "The eldest son vomited blood!" A servant exclaimed, and wanted to step forward to help him, but he pushed him away again.Shen Nuo covered his chest with one hand, and held the empty wine jar in the other, turned his head to look at the spirit seat, and smiled faintly: "As you said, I really drank to death... I drank to death, are you satisfied?" Tears suddenly appeared in his eyes, and he pointed at the purple coffin, as if he was laughing or crying: "Ugly girl, you have always been my disaster... you are dead, too." As soon as the words fell, he fell down with a snap. The auspicious clothes were spread on the ground like mud, reflecting the black gauze and white flowers all around, an aggressive red. My name is Xiaochao. She is the maid of the Liu family, a family of ship kings. Since the death of the young lady, Tonglou has been turned into ruins. Master Liu was hurt when he saw the scene, and finally closed the West Garden with an iron lock.Since then, no one has come in. It's just me, living here day after day, looking at the dead leaves and flowers, and recalling the prosperous scene of the young lady when she was alive, feeling very sad. The spring rains are coming again. The young lady has a lively nature, and when spring arrives, she must go out for an outing.Usually Shen Yan was with him, but only once, when Shen Yan was temporarily seen by the emperor, Prime Minister Zuo called Shen Nuo who had just returned home after being drunk, and asked him to accompany the young lady. The lady was displeased, and just as she was about to refuse, Shen Nuo hiccupped and said: "Brother has something to do for you, ugly girl, just accept your fate, who told you that you can compete for the sky and land, but you can't compete for the emperor?" .” After that, he forced her into the carriage. Miss Lu was angry and deliberately refused to speak to him.But Shen Nuo looked at her with a smile, shook his head suddenly and sighed: "Look at how fat you are, did you patronize to eat last winter? Even the belly came out, tsk tsk tsk..." The young lady was ashamed, and quickly took a blanket to cover her stomach. "Look at your face again, you actually have such big dark circles under your eyes, ah, you even have wrinkles, you're really getting old..." The lady covered her face with a handkerchief. "And your hand, if people who don't know it see it, they will think you are a slave in our Shen family, doing rough work..." The lady spread her sleeves and covered her hands. He was so unconcealable, he was worrying nervously, but when he heard Shen Nuo laughing out loud, he realized that he had been fooled by him again.The young lady was furious and went to pinch his arm, Shen Nuo hid while laughing, suddenly there was a huge vibration in the car, and the two of them fell together immediately. Very close. Both of them can sense each other's breath, so their eyes are facing each other, their limbs are entangled, he is covering her body, his eyes are slightly sunken. Then, he lowered his head and kissed the lady. I don't know why the lady didn't dodge. Maybe it was because Shen Nuo's eyes were too intimidating at that time, like a hook that hooked the soul, hooking the young lady so that she couldn't move; Maybe it was because the carriage was jolting too hard at that time, and I didn't know where I was in the blink of an eye; Maybe it was because the atmosphere in the car was too weird at that time, he was holding his breath heavily, and also suppressed his thoughts... In short, the young lady didn't hide, but Shen Nuo let her go halfway through the kiss, licked her lips and smiled: "It's really...youthful..." The blood on the lady's face turned pale in an instant. Shen Nuo's eyes are like stars, but the starlight can start a prairie fire: "Why didn't the second brother train you well? Or, there is still no relationship between you and the second brother..." He couldn't finish his sentence. Because the lady jumped up suddenly, opened the car door without saying a word and jumped down. The car is galloping. Shen Nuo was shocked, and quickly reached out to grab it, so the two of them fell off the car together and rolled along the ramp. He held the lady's head with his hands, hugged her tightly, and never let go. In the blink of an eye, Xia Lei was shocked. In that accident, the lady's forehead was disfigured, leaving a small scar that was one inch long, but Shen Nuo broke a leg and was lying on the bed for four months. The young lady refused to look, maybe because she couldn't bear it, maybe because she was angry before, maybe it was because of other reasons, in short, she locked herself in the room and refused to go out. In the end, it was Shen Yan who persuaded him, saying that May 21st was Shen Nuo's birthday, and he would definitely not be able to live well in bed at the moment, so he brought some gifts to visit him and help him celebrate his birthday. After persuading for a long time, the young lady was finally moved, she found a box from under the bed, and went with Shen Yan with her. As soon as he walked to the door of Shen Nuo's room, he heard a burst of chatter and laughter inside, the sound of warblers and swallows, it was very lively. Through the wide open window, the young lady saw a woman sitting beside the couch, feeding Shen Nuo, just a silhouette was enough to fascinate people. I heard Shen Nuo laughing and said: "Fortunately, you came to see me. During this period of time, they let me eat gruel and light rice. It's so hard for me. When I think of your mapo tofu and watercress fish, my mouth is watering..." The woman covered her lips and smiled: "What you said, the eldest son of Zuo Xiang's family has never seen anything, but now he comes to slander my poor family's food." "Don't look down on poor people's food. Tofu with cabbage is much more difficult than abalone and shark's fin. And Little Moon, your cooking skills have undoubtedly reached the pinnacle." Only then did I know that the woman was Xiaoyue, a famous prostitute in Kyoto who had been known only for a long time. The lady was unusually silent after hearing the name.Shen Yan observed his words, quickly lifted the curtain and entered, "Brother, Xi'er and I have come to see you." The weft curtain was lifted lightly, making Shen Nuo inside the curtain and the young lady outside the curtain face to face. The young lady lowered her eyebrows and narrowed her eyes, her expression was quiet, and she didn't say a word. Shen Nuo's eyes flickered, thoughtful, but he didn't speak in the end. And the little moon at the side turned around and saluted the two of them: "Yue has met Mr. Shen and Miss Liu." Shen Yan hesitated and said: "Why did the girl come here?" Before Little Moon could answer, Shen Nuo answered, "I asked her to come. Please invite an old friend to visit me when I'm sick—what? Can't I?" Shen Yan quickly waved his hands: "No, no, I didn't mean that. It's just..." He didn't continue.In any case, it is inappropriate for prostitutes to come in and out of the prime minister's door, and pass it on. Shen Nuo glanced at the two, turned to Little Moon, and continued to smile: "Leave them alone, this fish soup is so delicious, I want to eat it." Little Moon hurriedly scooped up the fish soup in the bowl and continued to feed, the young lady finally said: "Bones are broken, the food is not easy to be spicy." The bowl of fish soup is red and full of chili peppers, which is very spicy at first sight. Shen Nuo raised his eyebrows, smiled deeply at her, and there was a compelling sharpness in his eyes: "I really didn't expect that Miss Liu would care about nothing, and I don't want to think about how my leg was broken, and I lay down so You haven't come to see me for many days, why are you pretending to be kind now?" The young lady's face turned red all of a sudden, her whole body was trembling, she was very angry, and finally handed the box to Shen Yan's hand, "Give this to him, I'm leaving!" After saying that, he turned around and left, ignoring the call, and left in a hurry. Shen Nuo stared at her back, his eyes became darker, Shen Yan opened the box, handed it to him, and sighed: "Brother, why are you so angry at Xi'er? Look at the birthday gift she prepared for you." Inside the box, lay a glass bottle quietly, and the liquid in the bottle sparkled under the sunlight, making it translucent blue. It is a rare and rare wine. Autumn leaves are slowly withering. Shen Nuo's injury healed, but the young lady fell ill. She coughed all night, and all the doctors couldn't figure out why, they only said that she had caught a cold and should concentrate on recuperating. Zuo Xiang was so distressed that he didn't know what to do, Shen Yan even accompanied him to the bed, serving tea and medicine, but Shen Nuo never came to visit. After late autumn, Miss's illness became more and more serious, with blood in her sputum, which frightened everyone.There are even talkative people secretly commenting that this young lady from the Liu family has a short life and is afraid that she will just go away like this. The young lady was in a daze, some heard those words, some did not. She vaguely saw someone approaching in her dream, thought it was Shen Yan, and called out: "Brother Yan, Shui." The man poured over the water, raised her head, and slowly brought it to her lips.Body, has a good smell. The young lady drank the water, said "Thank you, brother Yan", and fell back into a deep sleep. After several nights like this, that person always appeared when needed, and she had a familiar smell on her body. For some reason, she felt very at ease when she smelled that smell. On the night when Miss was most ill, she felt that person again when she closed her eyes, so she said, "Brother Yan, I'm dying. If I die, you must not cry, and don't tell uncle to be sad. If there is an afterlife, I will be reborn in your family and be his real daughter." A warm liquid dripped onto her forehead, and the tactile sensation was transmitted to her heart through the trembling of her skin, scorching hot.She could even discern a pair of warm hands, with soft palms and slender knuckles, slowly covering her face, and finally, covering her eyes. "I'm sorry..." The man's voice seemed to sink to the bottom of the water, and when he floated up, he distorted and deformed, "I'm sorry. I'm sorry." In a sentence, the ending sound is long. The moonlight outside the window reflected him and her, it was cold and desolate. And the lady finally escaped that robbery. After that worst night, she slowly began to recover.When the winter snow was blowing, the master was released from prison early, and sent someone to pick up the young lady back home that night. The servants of Liu's mansion arrived very quickly, Prime Minister Zuo and Second Young Master Shen were not mentally prepared. After hearing the news, the lady only said one sentence: "Let me pack up my things and leave tomorrow morning." She returned to the room, dismissed the maidservant, and packed her bags herself, from You to Yin, when the candles were extinguished.When the first ray of sunlight fell on the window sills, she opened the door and told the servants of the Liu Mansion that they could go. The servants bowed in to carry their luggage, but found that everything was in its original place, without any trace. did not move. The lady said, "Just take me away." The servants looked at each other for a while, and did not dare to object, so they hugged her into the car. The wheels smashed the ice and snow, and drove out of the long street, and another car drove across.And in that car, Shen Nuo, who hadn't come home all night, slumped in his seat with a hangover. The two cars gradually approached like this, and then rubbed shoulders with each other, going to Liu's house and returning to the prime minister's mansion. And that night, Miss and Shen Nuo had no chance to say goodbye after all. On New Year's Eve, the master called the young lady to the study and told her that the Shen and Liu families had decided to marry each other. The young lady was shocked and asked, "Then who will I marry?" The master said: "According to the regulations of our dynasty, younger brothers cannot marry their elder brothers. Of course you are marrying Nuo'er." The young lady's face turned from white to blue, and finally turned pale again, and she smiled miserably: "God's will, it's God's will!" The master said, would you like it? The lady replied, yes, what am I not willing to do? So the marriage was settled with great fanfare.In the streets and alleys, there is gossip. And that lucky groom still sings and sings every night, with a lot of sensuality. Then, on the sixth day of March, the young lady set fire to the wedding dress, the boudoir, and... herself. My name is Xiaochao. She is the maid of the Liu family, a family of ship kings. I live in this fragment of walls and ruins, and keep a vigil for the young lady. She had been dead for a whole year, and the West Garden was in ruins, forgotten by everyone. I was sweeping the fallen leaves in the courtyard, the spring rain outside was bleak, the sky was gradually getting dark, no one came to light the lamps, and the west garden was completely dark. In the darkness, there was a little light ahead, approaching, it turned out that someone was carrying a lantern and came in from the broken wall. I stared fixedly at the person who came, his face could not be seen clearly in the shadows, only the hand holding the lamp was as beautiful as jade.There was a long-lost familiar smell coming from him, which was very reassuring. He walked up to me and was taken aback, as if he didn't expect that there would be people here.Then asked me: "Who are you?" "My name is Xiaochao. I'm a maid from the Liu family of the ship king's family." "Are you the maid of the Liu family?" The visitor was even more shocked, and dragged me to the lamp, and looked at me carefully.I looked up and saw his eyes, shining like morning stars in the dark shadows. "How will you be here?" "Wake up for Miss." "How is it possible..." the man murmured, aggressively, "The Liu family moved to Hangzhou a year ago, together with Xi...'s coffin, how could there be one person left here to guard the so-called spirit? " I was taken aback, my brain went blank for a moment, everything in front of my eyes was like a shadow rippling in the water, a boulder fell, ripples suddenly rose, and everything became chaotic—— No wonder I haven't seen anyone for so long... No wonder no one brings me food and water, no one greets me... No wonder the dust in front of the porch can't be cleaned no matter how hard you sweep... I turned around again, looked at the dilapidated and incomplete beams, at the overgrown courtyard, at the ruins without candles and food, and wondered how I had lived for so long. Such a place, How could it be possible to live there? The man grabbed my hand again and asked forcefully, "Who are you?" "My name is Xiaochao. I'm a maidservant of the Liu family of the ship king's family. I'm here to guard the spirit of the lady..." I think I'm about to cry, maybe I've already, because my voice is shaking so much, Even I was scared when I heard it.My body could no longer bear the heart-piercing pressure, I pushed the man away, knocked his lantern to the ground, and rushed out. I started running like hell. Thinking about why I am here, and why I am so clear about Miss.Footsteps followed closely behind, and the man refused to let me go and followed. In the end, the wet hands clasped me tightly in front of me, and there was a voice, as if rising from the ground far away, saying a name that I had heard thousands of times, so familiar that I could no longer be familiar with it—— "Liu Xi..." The chaotic world seems to be gradually cleared up because of these two words, and the bright universe has returned to its right place because of these two words. I saw myself in a pair of pupils that were so bright that they could illuminate everything in the world—— The hair is neatly combed and meticulously combed, and the hairpin is covered with red bead flowers. On the body, the dress is bright red, embroidered with dragon and phoenix with gold thread. My eyes are big, my nose is high, and my mouth is small...but, It was scorched black. I stretched out my trembling fingers and stroked my face very lightly and slowly. The owner of the eyes smiled lowly, as if sighing: "Ugly girl, it's really you." "Who are you……" Who is this invisible person hiding in the shadows? Who is this person who smells familiar to me? Who is this person who is calling me by my most taboo title? who is it?who is it?who are you? "You don't know me anymore? You really don't know me anymore?" He lit the lantern again, and held the lamp up to his face. The bright yellow light reflected his face, his eyebrows were too thick, his eyes were too sharp, His nose is too high, his lips are too thin, his contours are too deep, his temperament is too wild— He has never been as beautiful as Shen Yanmei. But, but, but... I stared blankly at this face, but burst into tears. I finally remembered his name. That name, on the sixth day of March, was uttered from another mouth, with an absolutely persistent tone. The man said: "I am pregnant with Shen Nuo's child, so, Miss Liu, please do me a favor and give Shen Nuo to me. Please..." The stunning famous prostitute in Kyoto knelt down in front of me, grabbed my skirt and wept, "Miss Liu, you and Mr. Shen Er are the perfect couple. Why don't you marry him, but why do you want to marry Shen?" Nuo? Don't you know that Shen Nuo doesn't want to marry you..." Shen Nuo doesn't want to marry you. Six words, the coolness of the heart. I heard my own voice forced out from between my teeth: "How do you know that he doesn't want to marry me?" The little moon smiled, and there was cruelty in the smile: "If he likes you, how could he have sex with me and let me have a child?" I saw the knife cut my flesh and blood, saw the blood dripping, saw the devastation, saw my seventeen years with him...and finally, saw my ending. That night, I saw the room was bright red. My name is Liu Xi. She is the young lady of the Liu family, a family of ship kings. A year ago, the night before I got married, I burned myself to death with a big fire, just like my mother's ending. For a year, I lingered in the residence where I was alive, lingering, not knowing that I had become a lonely ghost. A year later, I met Shen Nuo again, looking at him under the lamp, thinking of the past, it was like a dream. "Why did you appear here?" Why did he, Shen Nuo, come to this garden that had been abandoned for a year? "Why can you see me?" Why can he see me? He stared at me, his eyes flickering with emerald greens, flickering and flickering, and finally, it turned into a smile: "I'm here to find you." "Looking for me?" My body was stiff, my eyes were dull, and there were too many things I didn't understand. He lowered the lantern slowly, and the light also swayed down, sliding down his face, grabbing his clothes, and the robes unfolded with the wind, making him seem as if he would leave at any time. On the snow-white robe, there are dots of yellow and red. I finally know what that familiar smell is. It's wine. He always smells like wine. But at this moment, the wine dregs stained the lapel, together with blood, a little yellow and a little red. "You drink to death!" The curse sound from many years ago seemed to still echo in my ears.The appearance of him drinking alcohol and coughing up blood in front of the mourning hall in Jifu is still vivid in my memory. "You... died too?" My fingers brushed the yellow and red dots on the clothes. "Ok." "why?" "I know you are lonely, so I come to accompany you." "Why?" I trembled, choked up, obviously didn't like me, obviously had a little moon, obviously had a child, why, why did I die for me, search for me, come here for me... ? "Little Moon is lying, but I have nothing to do with her, and we will always treat each other with courtesy." "Then why are you hanging out all the time?" "Because..." There was a very deep pain in his eyes, "Yan'er likes you." I remembered things from my childhood. The master came out with the paper, and both of them finished writing at the same time. The master read Shen Yan's first and praised him for his good writing, but Shen Nuo rubbed the paper to pieces, and replied with a smile, "Oh, I'm so sorry, I didn't write anything." Woolen cloth; When Zuo Xiang came out with the first couplet, Shen Yan answered first, Zuo Xiang rewarded him, and then asked Shen Nuo, he always said he didn't know; The emperor summoned the two of them, and Shen Nuo acted dull, making Shen Yan even more intelligent... For a long time, he seemed to be invisible by Shen Yan's side, and he would never have any brilliance. All along, he gave everything to his younger brother. “我小时淘气，在井边玩耍，一头掉下去。当时二娘怀着言儿，大腹便便，正巧路过，连忙甩绳救我。最后，我虽然得救，但她却动到胎气，不但婴儿提前出世，她更是虚脱而死。 “言儿的娘是为了救我死的，所以我对自己发过誓，终其一生，都要保护弟弟，不让他再遭遇不幸，再受丝毫委屈。 “我知道言儿喜欢你，所以我就一直对你坏，避着你。我想我是那么糟糕，我夜夜留宿青楼，喝得烂醉，我这么一个无可救药的大烂人，你是不会喜欢我的。 “可是，一时情动，在马车上却吻了你。我吻了你，我非常非常后悔，于是我选择继续逃。 “但是，我不知道为什么，最后爹和你爹，在你的婚事上竟然都选了我而没有选言儿。看着言儿痛苦的样子，我对自己说，我不能抢他心爱的东西。 “所以我请小月亮帮我演了一出戏，我想让你对我死心。 “只是我没想到，反而害死了你。 “对不起，我害了你。所以，我把命抵给你。” 他屈膝，在我面前缓缓跪下，将脸埋入我手中。 “对不起，夕，但我活着一日，就不能忘记二娘对我的恩情，是我害言儿失去母亲，是我害他早产出世从小体弱多病，所以，我根本没有办法娶他所喜欢的你。对不起，请原谅我，原谅我……” 杜鹃泣血，病蚀一年。这一年，他是怎么过的，我已不敢想象。 “现在，”他抬起头，望着我，一字一字道，“请让我陪你。生前不愿看你，不能唤你，不舍怜你，不敢爱你，现在，请让我一一补回来。” 我静静地站了很久很久，最后，伸出手，抚上他的发：“傻瓜。” 我和他，原来都是傻瓜。 我生前的名字叫柳夕，死后叫小朝。 我和另一只鬼，一起住在西园里。 如此，年年岁岁，朝朝夕夕。
