Chapter 4 Chapter 3 Who is the Lord of Ziyuanchun

Along the way north, the weather became colder and colder, and more and more people fell into Jinxiu Tianya and I, from the original five to twelve people. At least, in order to save money, they don’t stay in the store when they can, and they only eat one meal a day, and I give half of the food to Jinxiu, so I choose to sleep most of the time on the way to recharge my batteries. Even so, I still observe the situation, there are twelve children with me, only five girls, except Jinxiu, Biying, uh!Barely add me, all of them are mediocre. As for those boys, they all set their eyes on Jinxiu, my family, just like the "Jinxiu phenomenon" in Huajia Village. The so-called relying on parents at home and friends when going out, I thought about how to make friends among these people. Selling to a place, it is good to have someone to take care of, so I encouraged Jinxiu to smile as friendly as possible, and under my glib tongue, there was laughter in the originally dull carriage.

Among the group of boys, the one who loves to cry is called Qi Fang. The one who looks like a bright star is called Song Minglei. He has the Confucianism of my talented father, and his clothes are also the cleanest among all of us. of. What is more interesting is the dark-faced, thunder-like Shandong boy, who is older than us and the tallest. He has to bend over to stand up in the carriage. The same name as the charming queen, Feiyan, wow!His name is Yu Feiyan! At that time, my expression was a bit dumbfounded, it was quite rude, I know, even Jinxiu pushed me, Zitong rarely gave me a blank look, huh?Could it be that she likes this kind of man?

On the other hand, he was very generous, and said with a smile: "The day before my mother gave birth to me, she dreamed of a group of swallows flying around, so she gave me this name." Seeing him being so open-minded, I felt embarrassed and told him the story of Zhao Feiyan in a compensatory manner, and expressed the meaning that he would be rich and powerful in the future. My nephew, if it wasn't that I am too young now, and Jinxiu seems to have a good impression of him, afraid of ruining the sisterhood, I really want to pinch his little face. Let’s get back to the point, let’s get back to the point, in short, the atmosphere in the carriage suddenly became lively, those lights that were originally staring at Jinxiu all turned to me, and even Biying, who was in a poor family, turned her eyes from her forehead She moved her eyes back and chatted with me, but when she knew that we came from a small mountain village, not from a scholarly family like her, her eyes immediately grew back to her forehead, and in the whole carriage, she Only talk to Song Minglei, hum!Little girl film.

And that Song Minglei, who answers every question, doesn’t answer if he doesn’t ask, cherishes words like gold, is quite restrained, in short, puts it all together, Yu Feiyan and our sisters are considered to be small along the way, the ox cart bumped to Jiangling Mansion, Qi Fang cried and was bought by a middle-class family surnamed Zhang to be a school boy. When he arrived in Xiangzhou, the two girls went to Yang Yuanwai's mansion to play a female show. What is puzzling is that the other four boys were transferred here to Another male human trafficker, when Yu Feiyan was urinating at night, she heard Mrs. Chen and the coachman excitedly saying that the four boys had been booked by the prefect of Tongzhou. There were many corpses of boys brought out. Mrs. Chen said that if there are going out, there must be coming in. This must be a good business, and I will bring in a few more boys next time.

The children were terrified when they heard about dead people. After a while of silence, Yu Feiyan asked me again: What is child molestation? I looked at Biying and Song Minglei, but I didn't expect them to look at me with great interest. And I can only laugh and laugh. In order to change the topic, I advocate that we become sworn brothers with Jinlan. Even if we can’t sell it in one place, if we are destined to meet again in the future, we can still have a good drink and chat. The ancients were really enthusiastic about sworn brothers. Ying also joined us, so we secretly got out of the bullock cart, lined up in the field under the moonlight, and became sworn brothers to the moon.

"I'm Yu Feiyan, thirteen years old." "I'm Song Minglei, twelve years old." "I'm Yao Biying, ten years old." "I'm Hua Mujin, eight years old." "I am Hua Jinxiu, eight years old." "According to the order of Changji, make an oath to the Moon Alliance and become sworn brothers to Jinlan. From then on, honor and disgrace will be shared together, and wealth and honor will be shared together. I don't want to be born in the same year and the same month, but I want to die in the same year and the same month..."

I suddenly remembered last year that Rhubarb's five puppies were just born, and they huddled together desperately to keep warm in order to survive. We children are all uneasy about our floating fate. Although we come from different places and have different backgrounds, our common encounters make us somewhat sympathetic to each other. The lone goose seems to have found a team again and is no longer alone. Although the midnight in the deep winter is so cold, our hearts are so warm, so we all smile happily and innocently. Jinxiu still holds my arm, but smiles Very happy. However, no one knew, even Song Minglei, who was later famous for his ingenious calculations, did not predict that the five of us would become earth-shaking figures in that era in the moonlight at that time.

So along the way we began to address each other as brothers and sisters, and Aunt Chen inevitably stared at us for a while. One day, in the thin morning light, I came to a plain. The ox cart was parked by the river to rest. I was shaking with cold and washing my face with water. Looking at me, I was so taken aback that I almost fell into the river. She knelt down and looked at me and said, "I've been a trafficker all my life, and I've never seen a girl like you. You must be not an ordinary person." I laughed dryly: "Aunt Chen, you have a lot of knowledge, I think that's an extraordinary skill."

She rolled her eyes and gave me a wink. At that time, I didn't understand why she winked at me, an eight-year-old kid. Later, I realized that she did this to everyone. I just heard her say: " It's a pity that you follow your fairy-like sister, and you will have no good fruit in this life." What does she mean!She wouldn't really want to sell Jinxiu and me to a brothel, would she? I was anxious: "You are not going to sell me and Jinxiu to some kind of dirty place, are you?" She laughed, and the big scorpion trembled with laughter: "Don't worry! We, Chen Yujiao, are not a good person, but we never push girls into the hook bars of brothels. Besides, the five of you happen to be from Northwest China. The people the general wants, how dare I sell you off casually."

General Northwest?I was very puzzled, and was about to ask again, when she twisted her waist and went to find her friend who drove the carriage. But at least I let go of my heart, and finally I don't have to become a prostitute. After more than a month, the willow trees along the way began to sprout green shoots, the frozen river began to break the ice and melt, and the ox cart entered a magnificent city. We looked out of the window through the curtain. Fusheng, since it is different from other places, we finally arrived at the ancient city of Xi'an. Out of Dongshi, along the Panshan Road, you will find a green mountain peak. In the open place, there are two big stone lions and three gates with animal heads. As far as you can see, there are golden glazed tiles, and the houses are undulating and magnificent. grand.Facing the front is a tall white marble archway, towering majesticly in front of the eyes, with nine dragons on the stone pillars on both sides, and four big characters are engraved on the archway: "Ziqi Mountain Villa".

I took a closer look at the inscription, and couldn't help but gasped. It turned out that it was personally handwritten by the former emperor of this dynasty. There was a couplet on both sides: "The meritorious deeds are bright, the sun and the moon are bright, the fame and fame are endless, and the children and grandchildren are also imperial pens. No wonder this Mrs. Chen We are going to leave the so-called best stuff to the Northwest Yuan General's family. Ziqi, Ziqi, is everything predestined, as if it was specially made for Zifu, Jinxiu's past life.I quietly asked Jinxiu if she likes it here, she flinched and held my arm tightly: "Mujin, the dragon on the pillar, I'm afraid." We entered through the west corner gate, Aunt Chen kept her breath, and walked in front respectfully, a few turns, and then fell in front of a hanging flower gate, two women came out with cold faces, Aunt Chen laughed and whispered softly After a while, each person stuffed a sling of money before entering the Chuihua Gate. On both sides are Chaoshou verandahs, and in the middle is a hallway. There is a large marble screen with a red sandalwood shelf. Turn around the screen, and there are three small halls. It is the main courtyard at the back. The six upper rooms on the front are all carved beams and paintings. On both sides, there are corridors and wing rooms with various colors of parrots, thrushes and other birds. Girl, as soon as they saw them coming, someone had opened the curtain and replied: "Ma'am, Mrs. Chen from Jianzhou has brought the newcomers here." Hearing this, my heart was completely relieved. Aunt Chen really didn't sell us to a brothel. When I arrived at the house, I was amazed by the opulence and splendor of the lilies, and the golden pendulum clock was ticking. My companions almost stared straight at the eyes. We knelt outside, separated by the slightly shaking pearl The curtain, on the pit in the middle, sat a woman in fine clothes, wearing a bun of gold silk with eight treasures and pearls, a beaded hairpin tied with the sun and five phoenixes, and a body of golden hundred butterflies wearing bright red satin with flowers, beautiful and not angry. And Wei, standing beside him was a young man in bright blue and light fur, slightly bent over, combing a scholar's bun in a spotless way, with a welcoming knot on his bun. Faintly heard the young man replying to the woman: "A heap of python embroidery, engraved with silk and ink, and eighty curtains of various sizes of silk and silk, two hundred curtains of gold silk, vines and red lacquer bamboo, and flower curtains of colorful threads. Two hundred hangings, ten pieces of palace satin for "Fugui Changchun", ten pieces of palace silk for "Fushouchangchang", ten pieces of "Purple Gold" pen ingot Ruyi, and ten ingots for "Ruyi". The letter said that he and the eldest young master have arrived in Beijing safely, Madam, please rest assured." The woman took a sip of tea and said "hmm". "Yunzhu, who was serving the second young lady, passed away from an emergency last month, and her mother-in-law said tomorrow that she will come to collect the ashes." "Yan Sheng, remember to reward me with a few taels of silver, poor kid, he grew up with Feiyan." "Yes, my wife is really compassionate. Also, Mr. Bai wants to move to Xifengwan because he thinks Ziyuan is too noisy." The lady hesitated for a moment: "Then Xi Fengwan is so cold and cold, and his legs and feet are not convenient, and there is a Mr. Han in front of him. How good is that, the general is fine, let outsiders know, and they think I am a stepmother. Squeeze him out." "I thought so too, but Mr. Han came here to mention it himself. He said that the hot springs in Xifengwan are good for Mr. Bai's legs and feet. Living in Ziyuan, running all day in Xifengwan will also waste your energy." "That's fine, let him go, but tell the general tomorrow." "What Madam said is that there is Fourth Master Jue, who said that if Madam does not let him go to the Western Regions, he will..." "Come on, it's because of the absurd thing about going to the Western Regions again? Tell him not to bother me, he's really like his foxy mother, thinking about running away all day long." I roughly heard the situation in this family, This is Jiangmen's family, three sons and one daughter, the eldest went to the capital with his father, the third and fourth seem not to have been born to her, and the third has a problem with his legs and feet, the fourth seems to be a passionate young man who is keen on Yu Chunshun's career in the Western Regions . Just when we were almost numb from our knees, the bead curtain was lifted, and the lady began to deal with us children. "I have found all the five children Madam wants for you. You can take a look." Aunt Chen said flatteringly, with a flattering expression on her face. Mrs. Yuan's phoenix eyes swept across our faces and stopped on Jinxiu's body: "The one in the middle, raise your head." Jinxiu trembled and raised her head, only to hear a bang, someone dropped a cup, and Mrs. Yuan gasped, "Aunt Chen, what evildoer did you find? How dare you send a purple-eyed barbarian away?" Go to the government? Hurry up and get out." Jinxiu grew up in Huajia Village, and even her stepmother had never insulted her like this before. I raised my head abruptly, and saw her purple pupils filled with tears, looking at me at a loss, while the mother-in-law at the side was cold I was about to carry her away, my heart tightened, and as soon as I gritted my teeth, I stepped forward and hugged her tightly, and said loudly: "Wait a minute, Mrs. Yuan, please take a good look at my Jinxiu. She is not a monster, but a purple girl." The nobleman of the garden." As soon as I spoke, everyone was stunned, even the lady was stunned, she waved her hand, and the two women left, looking down at me: "What's your name?" I adjusted my clothes a bit: "My name is Hua Mujin, and this is my younger sister, Hua Jinxiu. We two sisters come from Jianzhou." Suspicion suddenly flashed in her eyes: "Then tell me, why is your sister a nobleman in Ziyuan?" I calmed my heart secretly, and replied calmly: "Jinxiu and I came all the way from Jianzhou in the east, and Jinxiu was born with a pair of purple pupils. The purple air comes from the east, this is one, look at the beauty mole on the center of her brow, it is the mole of Erlong Xizhu, rich and powerful, this is the second, my family’s name Jinxiu is also taken from the flower group Jinxiu, which means Wei Yuan Mansion will be extremely prosperous, this is the third, the three combined into one, Mu Jin deduced, it must be the former general who fought for the country, bowed to the best, the original wife's virtue, respect and thrift touched the heavens, and God sent Jinxiu to Zi Qishanzhuang hints at the auspicious omen, and the original family must be illuminated by the sun and the moon within ten years, which is beyond words." After I finished speaking, I pulled Jinxiu respectfully, and put my forehead on the ground. In the silence, my sweat slid down my forehead. After a while, I heard Mrs. Yuan smile lightly, and my heart tightened for some reason: "You two Hold your head up." Jinxiu and I raised our heads again and saw Mrs. Nayuan's eyes were unpredictable, "Mujinhua's hibiscus?" I froze for a moment before waking up, she was asking my name: "Yes, ma'am." "Yan Sheng, arrange for the purple-eyed Hua Jinxiu and the waitress next to her, and the two boys will serve as Ziyuan's soldiers. This girl named Mujin, go to the handyman's room first." No matter what, Jinxiu and I can live and live here first, it's better than laughing at the door, I breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at Jinxiu, implying that I will find a way to see her. My brother-in-law Jinlan seemed to be relieved. My big black brother Yu Feiyan looked at me with adoring eyes. However, he told me many years later. In fact, he didn't understand what I was saying at the time. what. When I walked out of the door, even through the curtain, I felt a cold and sharp gaze staring at my spine from behind, which made me feel cold all over. I turned my head and saw a boy in white sitting on a wheelchair. I can't see his appearance, behind him is a tall figure in green clothes. It wasn't until I was far away that I heard the woman who took me out say: "Isn't that Mr. Bai? It's rare for him to come to the wife's room to say hello." ?”
