Chapter 4 Chapter 3 Liancheng is a Rootless Girl

Liancheng was sitting on the roof, holding a flower in her hand, but the petals had been scattered everywhere.She looked at the remaining petal in a daze. The sun had already reached the roof on the west side, and it was going to set in a while. "I won't come anymore..." She looked a little frustrated, "You obviously said you would come to see me today, and the sun is about to go down." She raised her hand to throw away the bald stamen, stood up and looked at the setting sun. "I haven't gone down the mountain yet, I will come again..." Liniang leaned against the pillar of the corridor holding the lupine fan, she pulled a girl beside her and asked, "Look, what happened to Liancheng today, what is she muttering about?"

The purple-shirted girl covered her lips and snickered, "I think Liancheng, she misses a man." "What?" Liniang almost fell down in shock, "Don't talk nonsense, a dog can't spit out ivory. Liancheng is different from us, she is an innocent girl with yellow flowers." "No nonsense, oh, Liniang, do you still remember the major general who sent Liancheng back yesterday? I see, Liancheng and him are probably..." "Impossible." Liniang interrupted the girl, "That young master seems to belong to a good family. With his status and status, Liancheng is not a maid who doesn't know how to measure. She should understand that with her background, she cannot Think of a man like that."

"Hey, I'm just in case." Zishan girl said with a smile on her face, "We almost watched Liancheng grow up, and we all miss her." Liniang looked at Liancheng who was sitting on the roof, thinking in her heart, what she just said was actually not impossible, thinking of how Liancheng was when she said goodbye to the young master yesterday, Liniang became more and more uncertain. "No, I have to let this kid Liancheng take care of him, so as not to suffer a disadvantage. I can't let that young man become the source of Liancheng's sadness in the future." Liniang murmured, "But what should I do?"

"Say kiss to her." Zishan girl put her hands together and said, "Marry her out as soon as possible, and stop her thoughts." "Well, good idea!" Liniang smiled and said proudly, "Fortunately, I have been paying attention to the big families in the capital, and it really comes in handy right now." So the next day, Liniang dragged Liancheng straight to the biggest tea house in the capital, and while struggling, Liancheng asked, "Mother, where are you taking me?" "Song Matchmaker has met some good young men for you, and I will take you to meet them today." Liniang tidied up Liancheng's slightly messy hair, "Which one do you like later, tell mother."

"Oh mother!" Lian Cheng frowned, "What's all this, I don't want a blind date!" "If you don't go, you have to go!" Liniang's tone did not allow any room for negotiation, and she was decisively pulling her to the box on the second floor of the teahouse. There were already six or seven young masters sitting in the private room, when Matchmaker Song saw Liniang coming with Liancheng, she quickly greeted her with a handkerchief. "Oh, Miss Liancheng is here, come here, come in and sit down, it's so cold outside." "I'm leaving!" Even the city didn't want to take a look, and turned around to leave.

"Don't recognize me as a mother if you leave!" Li Niang snorted, her eyes became stricter. Liancheng's footsteps stopped, and she reluctantly followed Liniang into the room, and sat down on a chair. Matchmaker Song couldn't wait to open up. The six or seven young masters looked at Liancheng with satisfaction, but Liancheng's thoughts had long since drifted away. Will he come today? That guy who didn't keep his word clearly said to come to see her yesterday, but she waited all day in vain, and he still didn't show up when the sun went down.Maybe a person like him would forget her when he turned around. Thinking of this, Liancheng became inexplicably depressed.

But this is not because Hengtai deliberately forgot the agreement that day, but because things changed, he couldn't get away for a while to see Liancheng. Yesterday, Hengtai was plotted against by Jiang Yichen and nearly died when he fell into the cliff. At the critical moment, Hengtai grabbed hold of the vines hanging on the cliff, which saved him from the bad luck of falling to the bottom of the cliff. Fortunately, in the end, he was the one with the better skills, restraining Jiang Yichen and taking him to Fenghuang Cliff.He led a team of horses back to the city triumphantly, and was thinking of sending Jiang Yichen to Shuntian Mansion first, and then went to Yingfang Pavilion to see Liancheng. Before he could catch his breath, the emperor's letter arrived, saying that it was Fucha Hengtai Subduing Jiang Yichen is meritorious, and the emperor will personally summon him in the Jinluan Palace.

General Fucha was so happy that he said from ear to ear: "He is really a good son of Ama, go quickly, the emperor personally summons him, and the Holy Majesty cannot be kept waiting for too long." "Yes, Ama!" Although Hengtai still remembered the agreement with Liancheng in his heart, but the emperor had to summon her to go, he thought in his heart that he would go to Yingfang Pavilion to see her another day. Going to the Golden Luan Hall, Eunuch Li told him to wait outside the hall, allowing him to go in and report to the emperor, and after a while he came back to summon Hengtai: "Xuan Fucha Hengtai has an audience!"

Hengtai stepped up the jade steps, and finally kowtowed outside the hall: "Chen Fucha Hengtai kowtows to the emperor!" "Okay, Fucha Hengtai, raise your head." There was a hint of hearty smile in the majestic voice of the emperor. Hengtai raised his head when he heard the words, but saw the emperor wearing a dragon robe, and his dragon face was joyful: "Sure enough, he is a general, a good-looking talent. You fought well in this battle! The bandit Wang Huzi was captured wisely, and the bandit in Fenghuangya was judged first." The old nest is behind, and they won more with less, smashed through Fenghuang Cliff, and captured the bandit leader alive—it really is brave and unparalleled."

"I'm terrified. This battle is the emperor's decisive victory thousands of miles away. I'm just fighting on behalf of you. I don't dare to covet the merits of heaven." Hengtai said. The emperor laughed loudly: "Okay! You are young and promising, and you have made such a great contribution. It is even more rare that you are neither arrogant nor impetuous, and have an open mind. You are really a pillar of my dynasty! Come! Reward!" Eunuch Li, who was waiting at the side, took a step forward at this time, and said in a loud voice: "Fucha Hengtai has made great achievements in suppressing thieves, and a pair of Jade Lords were specially given to him, with ten gold ingots and ten silver ingots made by the imperial court. Gong Duan Palace Eight pieces of silk each."

Hengtai hurriedly kowtowed and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty Long En!" "Okay, you go down." The emperor was obviously in a very good mood. After sending Hengtai away, he turned his head and said to Eunuch Li, "Show him the Palace of Mental Cultivation!" All the way to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the smile on the Emperor's face did not disappear, and the Queen greeted him as soon as he entered the palace gate: "What good happened to the Emperor today, I can't stop smiling from ear to ear." "This Hengtai is really a handsome young man, resourceful and a pillar of wisdom! If there are more good ministers like this, my country will be safe!" The emperor's tone could not conceal his appreciation, "I've thought about it for a long time, and I think it's just a general reward, not enough to express how much I value him. What do you think, Queen?" "Indeed." The queen nodded thoughtfully, "There are not many generals, it's about knowing people and making good use of them. Your majesty values ​​Hengtai so much, why don't you take this opportunity to win over him?" "Oh? What's the emperor's idea?" The emperor took the teacup handed over by the queen and took a sip, "But it's okay." "Hengtai is the eldest son and grandson of General Fucha, and he is also a young and promising talent. The concubine thinks that if such a person is called as a son-in-law, he must be very suitable." Just say it. The emperor paused. "Which Princess do you think is suitable?" "Of course it's Princess Xingdai, whom the emperor loves very much." The queen reminded with a smile. "Xing Dai, I do have this intention, but Xing Dai, a girl, has been spoiled by me since she was a child, and she has a spoiled temper. If she doesn't like it, there will be a mess. Things are the most difficult to decide." The emperor was very emotional. "That's the reason." The queen laughed, "I have an idea, let Princess Xingdai meet this Hengtai herself, as for the result, it depends on their luck." "Well, the empress is still thoughtful." The emperor glanced at the empress appreciatively, "It is better to hit the sun than to choose a date. Hengtai should have not left the palace yet, let Princess Xingdai see him." "Don't worry, your majesty, your concubine has already prepared." The queen said confidently, "Your majesty, just wait and see." Hengtai looked up at the sun, it was still early, the emperor didn't stay with him for long, which is a good thing.Hengtai thought that if he went to see Liancheng at this time, he could still keep the agreement.I don't know why, but thinking of Liancheng's aura-like eyes, he couldn't bear to let her show a disappointed and sad expression. Thinking of this, Hengtai quickened his pace a little, and was walking to the gate of the palace when he heard a shrill voice from behind him: "Major General, please wait!" Hengtai's footsteps paused slightly, and he saw several palace ladies and maids walking on the palace road, one of them was holding a gilt disc in his hand, and there was an exquisite wine bowl on the plate. "According to the imperial edict of the Empress, I give Fucha a bowl of Hengtai Royal Wine." The maid holding the wine bowl stepped forward and walked in front of Hengtai.Hengtai's eyes swept over her face, and he was a little surprised. Compared with the maid next to her, the appearance and demeanor of this court lady was not the slightest bit better. He stretched out his hand to pick up the wine bowl, but when the maid gave up her hands, a sly smile appeared on her mouth. "The empress also said that after Fucha Hengtai drank the imperial wine, he had to put the jade bowl upright on the jade tray and not tip it over, otherwise it would be disrespectful!" A court lady came forward holding a jade plate, Hengtai looked at the round bottom wine bowl, couldn't help smiling, his eyes fell on the court lady holding the wine bowl again, just when she moved the plate away, A string of beads on the wrist was exposed. "May I make a disrespectful request?" Hengtai had already thought about it, and put aside the surprise at the beginning, he was now calm and composed. "Tell me." The maid holding the wine's eyes were extremely clear, and there was a hint of expectation in her eyes. "I would like to borrow the beads in your hand." Heng Tai smiled and pointed to the string of beads on the maid's wrist. The maid handed the disc to the maid next to her, and immediately took off the string of pearls on her wrist and handed it to Hengtai. "Major General, please use it." Hengtai took the string of beads with a smile, then picked up the round-bottomed wine bowl, raised his head and drank it. He put the beads flat on the jade plate, and then put the round-bottomed wine bowl on top of the string of beads. In the middle, the beads just circled into a dimple, which circled the bowl smoothly and firmly in the middle. "I've finished the arrangement. I would like to thank the Empress for the wine, and I also want to thank Princess Xingdai for borrowing the beads." Hengtai looked at the court lady with a smile. "Yeah." She looked surprised, "Could it be that the word Xingdai is engraved on my forehead? How did you recognize me?" Hengtai couldn't help but said: "If the princess wants to dress up as a maid for a game next time, then don't wear such expensive beads. I will leave now." Princess Xingdai held her empty wrist and watched Hengtai walk out of the palace gate, feeling a little annoyed in her heart: "I even forgot to take off the pearl that Ama gave me." but-- Her gaze shifted to the direction where Hengtai disappeared again. This man was a good man, and he was also very smart.It is not an unacceptable thing to make him his forehead. Hengtai bid farewell to Princess Xingdai, and was about to go to Yingfang Pavilion, but after walking not far away, he saw Guo Xiao on horseback: "Young general, the general wants you to go home now." "I, Ama, did you say that you want me to go back?" Hengtai just wanted to see Liancheng at this time, but there were always people interrupting him, so he felt a little anxious. Guo Xiao shook his head blankly. "How do you know, the little one, but it's better for the major general to go back, lest the general get angry after waiting for a long time." Hengtai looked at the setting sun, although he didn't want to, he had to follow Guo Xiao back to the general's mansion.As for Liancheng, I really have to go another day. Back at the General's Mansion, Hengtai walked all the way to the central hall, and just as he stepped into the house, he heard General Fucha's laughter. "Haha, Hengtai, you are back. You are really a good son of Ama. The palace sent people to send these rewards just now. It is all thanks to Hengtai." "Ama is serious." Hengtai glanced around, and found that the whole family was here, "I have seen Er Niang and Aunt Niang." The aunt that Hengtai talked about was General Fucha's side Fujin. Although she was only a housemaid back then, she became a side Fujin because of the birth of the second young master Mingxuan.At this time, Fujin was lazily sitting on the soft couch, with sour eyes, while the second young master Mingxuan was standing beside Fujin, staring straight at the pile of rewards piled up in the middle hall superior. "Fu Jin, thank you for giving me such a good son." Fu Cha said to Fujin very gratified, "What do you want me to reward you?" "My master's ability to say these words is already the greatest reward for Yingyue." Fujin said with a smile, her eyes swept over Fujin side, and there was a trace of disdain in her smile. "Master, it's only Fujin who has made meritorious deeds. I've been serving Uncle Heng all these years, so I don't have any merit?" Guo Nanny, who has been serving Fujin all this time, joked with a smile. "Haha, all merits are meritorious, even your grandson Guo Xiao has the merit of accompanying him, come on, the gold, silver and silk satin given by the emperor, you two, grandchildren and grandchildren, just take whatever you like!" General Fucha was happy, and said It's also not stingy at all. "Thank you, Master!" Guo Nanny quickly blessed Fu's body and said. "Ama, why do they all have rewards, and I want them too!" Ming Xuan, who had been coveting these rewards, finally couldn't help but open his mouth. General Fucha, who was still smiling all over his face, suddenly sank and shouted at Mingxuan, "What reward do you have? Are you good at writing or are you familiar with it? It seems that Ama still treated you poorly? If you had you Big brother is half good, so he won't make me angry every day!" "It's not you, Ama! If you don't let me do anything, who knows what I can do. The last time I practiced with a spear, I pierced a human model in one fell swoop! I can recite sixty-seven ques of Li Taibai's Song Ci, If you allow me to come out to practice, at least I can win some glory, how can the matter of showing my face now be counted on the big brother!" Mingxuan said, very indignant, "Ama, you really gave me a chance , I will not be any worse than my elder brother!" "You—" General Fucha was so angry that he was about to say something, when he saw that Fujin stood up from the soft couch and kicked Mingxuan. "Shut up! You are happy with others, why are you embarrassing me here? Did Li Taibai write Song Ci? Li Taibai wrote peacocks flying southeast! Get out of here, get away! It’s golden branches and jade leaves, God’s favor—and you, after all, are just born to a concubine, what can you compare to!” As he said this, the sourness and jealousy in his words could no longer be concealed. Mingxuan was angered by General Fucha, and his own mother said so, and suddenly he was overwhelmed, turned his head and left: "Just wait and see! I will definitely be more promising than elder brother!" "Brother!" Hengtai hurried forward to stop him, but General Fucha blocked his way. "Forget it, let him go, he was born by a father, why—" He looked at Chou Fujin very disappointedly: "How does he look like my son!" "Master, don't be angry." Fujin persuaded, "Today is a great day for the emperor's award, so don't lose your interest." "Yes, master." Guo Nanny followed suit.The people in the room quickly returned to the previous exuberance and celebration, and all forgot about the episode just now. Seeing this, Fujin felt very uncomfortable, but her son didn't live up to him, so she couldn't straighten up either.After all, it was born by himself, how could he not care about it like this, so Fujin followed Mingxuan and walked out. With an unknown fire in his heart, Mingxuan rushed into the garden in one breath, and was beating the rough tree trunk with his fist. When Jie Fujin found him, his hands were already covered in blood. "Stupid boy, what are you doing!" Cian Fujin was so distressed that he hurried up and hugged his arm, "Quickly stop knocking, let Er Niang take a look." "I don't want it! I'm worthless, you can go and hurt big brother!" Mingxuan pushed away from Fujin, and said with a straight face, "Everyone only knows about Hengtai, it's all about you, Erniang, don't let me do anything , it's good now, everyone only likes Hengtai!" "What stupid things did you say, Er Niang is thinking of you, do you understand?" Cian Fujin looked at Ming Xuan with a face full of hatred, "Emiang said those words on purpose to disgust you, Ama Yes! You, don’t look at your elder brother’s prestige now, let me tell you, you can drown in the river! What military exploits? Since ancient times, wars have been about stealing wealth from the dead, and begging for life at the gate of hell. The more your elder brother is able to fight, the more he knows how to fight. The happier I am - just wait for one day when something happens to him and you, Ama, close your eyes, isn't this huge family title all yours?" "I don't want you to care about me!" Mingxuan was angry now, and he couldn't listen to Fujin's words, "Besides, if I was born by Fujin, no one would look down on me like this. After all, I am just born by a concubine! " "Pa——" Ce Fujin slapped Mingxuan hard, she was really pissed off by Mingxuan: "You bastard, get out, get out!" "Get out!" Ming Xuan's eyes turned red with anger, "From now on, I don't want you to care about me!" After he finished speaking, he pushed side Fujin away and walked away. Mingxuan ran out angrily, and this run actually ran directly into the barracks racecourse. "If I can learn how to ride and shoot, then Ama will look at me more, I must rely on myself!" Mingxuan muttered, pulling a horse from the guardrail, and pulling the horse out of the stable by pulling the rein . "Huh? Isn't that the second young master of Fucha's family?" Suddenly someone pointed at Mingxuan and shouted, "It's the one born to Fujin." It was a small sedan chair carried by two people. At this time, the curtain of the sedan chair was lifted from the inside, and the people in the sedan chair just jumped down. It turned out to be Tong Jialin! "Wow!" Tong Jialin rolled up his sleeves and laughed wildly, "I haven't let out that bad temper last time, my brother is good, my brother is going to be a dead ghost for my brother. Go, Zhang Wen, ask this What are you doing here, kid?" "Come on." The servant named Zhang Wen immediately nodded and bowed. Tong Jialin failed to molested Liancheng last time, but Hengtai stole the limelight and beat him all over the floor. Not to mention his embarrassment, he still hurts all over his body. "Hey, Lord, that kid is here to learn how to ride a horse." Zhang Wen quickly asked back. Tong Jialin immediately became interested. "This is really rare. My brother is a major general, and my father is a general. This kid can't even ride a horse?" He turned around a few times on the spot, his eyes were very malicious. "Hey, you two, go and serve Fucha's young master Mingxuan on horseback, and teach him how to ride this horse." "Yes!" Zhang Wenchong winked at another servant beside him, and the two walked over with wretched smiles.Ming Xuan had no idea that he had become someone else's scapegoat, and he was gnashing his teeth and trying to get on the horse. He didn't expect that just getting on the horse's back made him unable to do anything. "Master Mingxuan, we are here to help you." Zhang Wen said, and together with another person, he carried Mingxuan onto the horse's back. Mingxuan frantically grabbed the rein, turned his head and hurriedly said, "Go away, I don't want your help!" "How can it be." Zhang Wen patted the horse's butt hard, and the horse ran wildly in pain. Ming Xuan was unprepared, and was thrown to the ground by the horse with a plop. "Hit me!" Tong Jialin surrounded him and said sharply, "His parents don't even know him!" "Master, it's not good if it's too heavy." Zhang Wen hesitated, "He's the second young master of the Fucha family." "That's right." Tong Jialin rolled his eyes, and he was already hesitant, "Their Fucha family official is not small, just throw him a few times, and don't make trouble." Mingxuan just fell off the horse right now, and then he was punched and kicked. The unknown anger in his stomach hadn't vented yet, and he was beaten for no reason, and he was even more restless, but he didn't After practicing martial arts, there is nowhere to emit fire. "Okay, okay, stop beating." Seeing that the beating was almost over, Tong Jialin asked people to stop, and he smiled happily, "What a waste, even your young master's toe can't compare. " "What are you!" Mingxuan stared at Tong Jialin angrily, "You dare to hit me, do you know who I am?" "Come on, isn't he the second young master of the Fucha family?" Tong Jialin was completely fearless, "Your elder brother is so powerful that he even dares to beat me. How come you are so useless?" "Oh, I see, my elder brother must have hit you, and you are venting your anger on me!" Ming Xuan quickly figured it out, and he wasn't too stupid. Tong Jialin snorted coldly: "Where am I the kind of person who is prone to revenge? It's just that you, Second Master Ming, are better than your elder brother - heaven and earth! What a prestige your elder brother is, in order to protect a prostitute, you actually sent Several personal soldiers are standing guard at the gate of the brothel, this has long been a laughing stock in the capital! Why, doesn’t your lord know?” "Impossible!" Mingxuan was extremely shocked when he heard him say that, "How can such a dirty rumor be taken as true? Of course, I, Ama, have never heard of it!" Tong Jialin had already planned, so he squatted down and softened his voice: "If you want to know, I can tell you. Think about it, if you, Ama, know..." Mingxuan was thoughtful, thinking: If Ama found out, wouldn't she be disappointed in Hengtai?When the time comes, why don't you look up to him a few times?Thinking of this, he didn't care about the injuries from being beaten, and listened to Tong Jialin talking about that incident with embellishment. After Mingxuan finished listening, he ran back to the General's Mansion without hesitation, dragged General Fucha who was still in the pride of Hengtai being rewarded by the emperor, and uttered all the words he heard from Tong Jialin . General Fucha must not believe it, and even taught Mingxuan a lesson, telling him not to hang out with dudes like Tong Jialin.Mingxuan was naturally unconvinced, and in the end General Fucha was so provoked that he called someone in the army to ask him a question. This question stimulated General Fucha thoroughly enough. Because the man confirmed that Hengtai indeed sent five soldiers to Yingfang Pavilion, saying that they were going to protect a girl inside. Is this worth it?General Fucha immediately became angry. And Hengtai is pulling Guo Xiao to go out at this time, and the destination is naturally Yingfang Pavilion. He has missed the appointment the day before yesterday, so he has no choice but to clarify it today.Although Hengtai himself can't figure it out, why does he value this agreement so much. "Come back to me!" General Fucha yelled angrily, "You are not allowed to go anywhere today!" "Oh, what's the matter?" Mother Guo supported Fujin and came after hearing the news. At this time, seeing General Fucha was angry, she immediately came up to advise, "Master, what's the matter, you want to be so angry." "Kneel down!" General Fucha didn't even look at Fujin, and angrily yelled at Hengtai, "It seems that I trust you too much, my good son, to do such a shameless thing! Here comes my black python whip! Shut your mouth and give ten whips first!" "Master!" Fujin turned pale with fright, "What are you going to do? With ten lashes on you, can Hengtai still live?" "There is also Guo Xiao!" General Fu Cha glared at Guo Xiao, "Ten whips for one person, don't think less of anyone!" "Oh, I can't help it, master!" Guo Momo immediately knelt down, "These two children, one is my grandson, and the other is brought up by me. You see, because the old slave serves Fujin and the master, Don't hit this whip!" "Your good grandson! He led Hengtai badly, and even went to a brothel and got entangled with a prostitute. He must give him a good beating today!" General Fucha yelled angrily, "Where's the whip?" "Please check with the general." A soldier handed over a black leather whip. General Fucha held it and was about to slap it on Hengtai, but Fujin rushed to stop him. "My lord can't do it, Hengtai is my lifeline, if you want to beat him, kill me first!" "Hey." Hearing the movement, Fujin also ran to watch the commotion. At this time, seeing General Fucha's face showing an unbearable expression, he said sourly, "Although Hengtai has lost your face, after all, he was rewarded by the emperor only yesterday. A meritorious minister, if this is publicized..." "Shut up!" General Fucha said angrily, "Don't think that I don't know what's going on in your mind. Here's where you can talk? I haven't asked Mingxuan how he got along with someone like Tong Jialin. You You even came here to add fuel to the flames, get lost!" Cian Fujin was reprimanded by General Fucha, blushing, angry and ashamed. General Fucha was so provoked that he immediately pushed Fujin away, insisted on the whip, and turned around to whip Guo Xiao. It was too late and then it was too late, the moment the whip fell, Hengtai rushed over to block Guo Xiao's whip solidly. "Hengtai!" Fujin screamed miserably, and hurriedly hugged Hengtai, "Master, you are so ruthless! Master, if you want to hit me, hit me, beat me to death!" "Emiang, I'm fine." As soon as the whip came down, several layers of Hengtai's robes were pulled away, revealing a bloody whip mark on his back, which looked horrifying, "Don't cry." "You! You..." General Fucha blushed when he saw Hengtai sacrificed himself to save Guo Xiao, and he threw the whip on the ground forcefully, "Come here, burn this whip!" After yelling, he didn't want to stay in the hall any more, and walked out with a flick of his sleeves in anger. Fujin helped Hengtai up, and tears rolled down like pearls with a broken string. Nanny Guo bent her legs and knelt down in front of Hengtai with a plop. "Master Heng, you're like this... Sister, I..." "Don't say anything, I'm fine." Hengtai suppressed the pain behind his back, he turned to look at Fujin, "Emiang, son, go and make amends to Ama." "Hengtai!" Fujin wanted to stop him, but Hengtai had already gritted his teeth and walked out. He firmly knelt down in the court, determined to kneel until the moment when General Fucha was willing to forgive him. He never imagined that while he was kneeling in the General's Mansion, something happened in Yingfang Pavilion that could change Liancheng's entire life. Yesterday, Liancheng was forced to go on a blind date by Liniang, but naturally they broke up badly. Apart from teasing the six or seven young masters severely, and making them go back crying, she had nothing else to gain.On the contrary, Liniang was so angry that she was even more determined to find a good family for her to marry. It was night, and Yingsheng and Yanyu were greeted in the front yard, but Liancheng was a little depressed. Hengtai is a big liar, Liancheng murmured fiercely in his heart, and was about to walk to the backyard with a pile of dirty clothes, when there was a loud noise from the front yard. "Get that little girl out for me, hehe, I want to see how she can escape from my grasp now that she has no backing!" Liancheng's expression changed drastically. She still remembers this voice. Who else is it if it's not Tong Jialin? An hour ago, for some unknown reason, someone came to Yingfang Pavilion and called away the five soldiers who were in charge of protecting them, and they never came back.Now that no one is here to protect them, Tong Jialin is hard to deal with! Liancheng quickly threw away the clothes in his arms, and was about to run to the front yard to have a look, but before he had gone a few steps, Liniang stopped him.She looked at Liancheng in panic: "Run away, Liancheng, run away..." "Where to escape!" Tong Jialin laughed loudly triumphantly, "Don't even think about going anywhere today, just follow me obediently, and take care of your food and drink." "Damn!" Liancheng yelled angrily, "You want to rob it of this bright daylight? Be careful, I'll sue you at the government office!" "Yo, you still want to sue me?" Tong Jialin smiled contemptuously, "I am the official, young master, catch her for me!" "Liancheng, run!" Liniang stepped forward to block those men who were about to come up to grab Liancheng, Liancheng was anxious and angry. "Fuck you, get out of the way!" Zhang Wen, Tong Jialin's subordinate, pushed Li Niang who was in the way, but his hand was strong, and Li Niang was pushed to the ground by him, and her head happened to hit the stairs On the wooden feet, dark red blood immediately flowed out, like a broken river embankment, and quickly flowed a large area. "Mother!" Liancheng's heart skipped a beat, the incident happened so quickly, and everyone around them lost their voices for a moment. "Mother, how are you?" Lian Cheng rushed over to help Liniang up, but Tong Jialin was taken aback when he saw that things were out of control. "Master, let's go quickly!" Seeing that Liniang was seriously injured, Zhang Wen panicked. It was him who pushed her away. How would he explain this if someone died? "Go... let's go!" Tong Jialin suddenly came back to his senses, and immediately ran out with his people in a hurry. Because he ran too fast, he even kicked down the lamp stand by the wall. The lamp oil candle lit the silk curtain, and the tongue of flame exploded It burned, and the Yingfang Pavilion was in chaos, with screams and fleeing sounds. Liancheng hugged Liniang with cold hands and feet, and she stretched out her hand to cover the wound on Liniang's head, but the blood dripped down her fingers, it couldn't be stopped, no matter what, it couldn't be stopped! "Mother, mother, don't scare me!" Although Liancheng was used to making troubles, but when he encountered such an accident, he was completely panicked and didn't know what to do. "Liancheng, run away! The fire is on fire!" In panic, someone called Liancheng's name, "Run for your life! Yingfang Pavilion is about to collapse!" Only then did Liancheng regain some sense of reason, she hurriedly pulled Liniang out of the Yingfang Pavilion, she knelt on the ground, hugging Liniang tightly, her warm robe was already soaked with blood. There was a kind of coldness that came up from the bottom of her heart, she just hugged Liniang like this, watching the monstrous fire burn down Yingfang Pavilion, the home she had lived in for eighteen years. At this time, in the general's mansion, Hengtai, who had been kneeling all day, finally waited for General Fucha to come. He bent down and pulled Heng Tai up. "Oh, you child..." "Ama, are you willing to forgive your son?" Hengtai asked persistently. General Fucha sighed, but his eyes were concerned. "How's your back injury?" "It's okay." Hengtai cared more about whether General Fucha would forgive him for what he had done than this injury. "For the first time in so many years, Amma is angry with you. All these years, Amma is proud of you! Now you are a general yourself, and you have been whipped by Ama. This whip is like It's the same as hitting yourself." General Fucha said heartbrokenly, "The reason why I'm angry is because that kid from the Tong family is very dirty and vicious, and you fought with him in private, isn't that a self-degradation? Another thing, you Ah! It's too easy to be emotional! This will always lead to mistakes. And servants are servants. As the son of my Fucha family, I can't be led by the nose, you have to remember." "Yes! Son, please remember. Don't worry, Ahma, I will definitely cheer up and specialize in art, and I will never disappoint Ahma's good intentions!" Hearing General Fucha's words, Hengtai breathed a sigh of relief. The father and son finally reconciled as before, and they were happy and harmonious, and their relationship was even stronger than before. He didn't know what kind of suffering Liancheng was going through when he reconciled with his father. Overnight, her family was gone, her only family member was at stake, and she suddenly discovered that, except for this small Yingfang Pavilion and Liniang, she was so lonely in this world. With nowhere to go and no one to rely on. Liancheng carried Liniang on his back, revealing more deeply.This capital is so big that it can accommodate all kinds of bullies and murderers. They bully others without any law, and they run rampant in the market and do all kinds of evil.But in such a big capital, there is no one place that Song Liancheng can go to. There used to be, but a fire burned it clean. no more. "Mother..." Liancheng called Li Niang in a broken voice, "Mother, don't fall asleep, talk to me, mother." "Liancheng, don't cry." Li Niang said angrily, "Mother won't fall asleep, mother is here, mother is still here..." Liancheng knew that Yingfang Pavilion was not a good place, and the daughter of a good family would not come here. Brothel, that is a place that the whole world despises. But no matter what others say, she has never disliked her, because family never distinguishes between high and low. "I'll take you to the doctor, mother, it doesn't matter if the family is gone, you still have me, I still have you, we are home wherever we are together." The whole world is on your back. "Mother is so happy." The corners of Li Niang's mouth trembled slightly, and tears rolled down the corners of her eyes, "Mother is really..." The corners of Liancheng's mouth were bent downwards, she tried not to cry, it seemed that if she cried, her mother would follow the tears. Liancheng ran hard and took Liniang to the nearest hospital, she shouted loudly: "Doctor, where is the doctor, please help my mother, doctor!" "It's Liancheng." In fact, most people in the capital already knew Liancheng. Seeing her hurrying, the doctor hurriedly put down the medicine pestle in his hand, and stepped forward to help Liniang off Liancheng's back. Liniang has passed out, and there are still tears on her face that haven't dried up. The doctor took her pulse solemnly, but he could only shake his head in Liancheng's expectant eyes: "Liancheng, your mother is hurt too badly, you should prepare for your mother's funeral." Liancheng was stunned as if being shocked by an electric shock, she shook her head in a daze: "No, no, my mother will be fine, please check again, doctor, you can prescribe my mother's medicine and bandage her wound ,doctor!" "It's really useless." The doctor's eyes were quite unbearable. Looking at the mother and daughter, their miserable appearance was moved with compassion, "Take your mother home, it's useless." "No! It must be because your medical skills are not good!" Liancheng yelled suddenly, she bent over and carried Liniang on her back, turned her head and left the hospital, "Mother, let's go to another house to see a doctor, mother, you will be fine Mother..." 娘字喊出口，音已经带了哭腔。 这夜，沉得更深了。 连城不肯放弃，外面是这样的冷，她的心也很冷，但她额头上却在流汗，她就这么背着丽娘四处问医，但是谁都说没得救了，一开始还很有耐心地劝她，到最后都不耐烦地将她轰出医馆。 “为什么？”连城语调极轻极浅，宛如满陌飞舞的荻花，轻轻一碰便散了。 她仰头看着黑黢黢的天空，没有星星没有月亮，黑得让人绝望。 蓦地她眼前一花，有什么东西轻轻落在了她的脸上，跟着凉丝丝地化了。 棉白色的雪花簌簌而下，被冷风吹得漫天飞舞。 京城的春，迎来了新年过后的第一场雪，这场雪下在连城的生命里，透心的冷，冷得她心都颤抖了。 无处可去，没有医馆肯收留她们，连城背着丽娘寻了一处四处漏风的破庙，勉强生起一堆火，她强迫自己微笑，她说：“娘，我们明天继续找大夫，一定有大夫能医得好你的。” “等医好了娘，我再也不惹娘生气，娘要我嫁人我就嫁人，然后带娘一起享清福，你说好不好啊娘？”她说到这里，强忍着的眼泪终于流出眼眶，她抱着丽娘，想这样让她觉得暖和一点。 “连城。”丽娘强迫自己清醒着，费力地开口，她抓住连城的手紧紧地握着，“不要哭，哭肿了眼睛就不好看了，那样就嫁不出去了。” “嫁不出去我就一辈子伺候着娘。”连城哽咽着说。 “傻孩子。”丽娘笑了笑，眼泪却落了下来，“娘有你这句话，这十八年就没有白疼你。” 连城只是哭，哭着将丽娘抱进怀里。丽娘轻声说：“连城，娘有件事情想跟你说。” “等娘好起来再说啊！”连城心中有一种恐惧，她很不想丽娘将这件事情说出来。 “不，娘现在就要说，娘怕不说就没有机会告诉你了。”丽娘说到这里，语气有些激动，她心口剧烈地起伏，猛烈地咳嗽了几下，嘴角已经溢出了一缕血丝。 “好，好，娘你说。”连城顿时慌了神，“我听着。” “连城啊，娘要告诉你的是，其实你不是我亲生的。”丽娘笑了笑，语气微弱。 连城呆住了，跟着她便用力地摇头。 “娘你为什么要这么说，连城怎么可能不是娘亲生的呢？娘你不要骗我了，不要骗我了，这世上，连城只有娘了啊。” “我知道。”丽娘很是不忍心，但她知道她已经没救了，她必须要把这件事情告诉连城，“娘没有骗你。” “十八年前，娘跟着几个姐妹雇了画舫夜游古城河，然后就听到了你的哭声。我把你从水里抱起来，那么小的孩子还不会笑，只管哭，哭着哭着，这转眼啊，就成了这么漂亮的大姑娘了。”丽娘说着，心中分不清是心酸还是欣慰，“大概娘这辈子最开心的，便是你喊我第一声娘的时候吧。” 她的神志已经开始虚幻不清醒，她甚至透过屋外飞舞的雪花，看到了十八年前的月。 清冷的月，冷霜似的照着这尘世间的一草一木，碧波荡漾的湖面上，被湖水没过大半的摇篮，快要被水没过头顶的小小婴儿，她伸出一双手呀，便是接连了十八年的母女情深。 “娘啊……”她嘴角露出一个淡淡的笑容来，“好像看见了。” “看见你凤冠霞帔，坐着八抬大轿，嫁了个大将军……”她握牢了连城的手，看着她哭成个泪人似的，“答应娘，娘走后，只能伤心三天，过了三天就把这事忘了，娘喜欢的是那个调皮捣蛋的宋连城，你答应娘，好不好？” 连城完全说不出话来，只能拼命地摇头，但是看着丽娘，又将摇头改成了点头。 "mother……" “娘你……不要走好不好？”她几乎泣不成声，“我已经没有家了，你怎么忍心让连城没有娘？” “这世上，连城只有你啊，十八年前你把我抱起来，十八年后你就不要把我放下啊娘……”她将脸埋进丽娘的脖颈间，丽娘握着她手的手，兀地一松，连城慌忙握住，那瞬间，她仓皇地仰起头来，破庙外的那棵桃花树，迎着风雪，颤巍巍地开了一朵桃花。 连城，像风雪中怒放的花朵一样，你在生命的寒流之中，像那朵花一样，漂漂亮亮地，快快乐乐地活下去吧。 丽娘看着连城的脸，努力地对她露出一个笑脸，然后闭上眼睛，去了。
