Cold Palace’s Abandoned Consort

When I walked to the gate of the big house, the last orange light of the setting sun was shining on the steps, and the bluestone slab was plated with a fiery enthusiasm. I went in and came back and forth. Many people were busy with shuttle. As soon as they saw me, they hurried over to please.

I just waved my hand, let him keep busy, and then went to the other side, the small yard.

Yan Yi was sent here.

I walked over and knocked on the door, and the door opened immediately. Yan Ruoyu stood at the door and said, "Cousin."

I looked at her: "You--"

"I'm here with my aunt."

"Oh."

I nodded, she took a step back and let me in. As soon as I went in, I saw Yan Yi lying on the bedside with her shoes on. She seemed unwilling to fall asleep, and was reluctantly struggling. When she saw I came and said immediately, "You're here."

"Aunt."

I was busy walking over and saluting her.

She raised her hand and then waved at me again. I hurried over to hold her hand, and she slowly took it to the bedside and faced her.

Taking a closer look at this aunt, I could not help but sigh in my heart. During the day at the ancestral shrine, I was too nervous and surprised. I didn't look at her carefully, so I looked at her and found that I was really very close to her. Like, the eyebrows, mouth and nose, and even the outline of the chin are the same, but I'm more showy than her, and she-the sharpness and stubbornness not only penetrates the eyes, but also on the face.

I said softly: "For so many years, I never thought that my aunt would be in the ancestral shrine, and I have never been to see him."

She said lightly, "I don't tell you. Those who don't know are not guilty."

"but--"

"Why am I here to guard the ancestral temple?"

Seeing that she had raised the issue herself, I didn't say much, just nodded gently.

At this time, Yan Ruoyu had already closed the door and came over, standing by the bed, Yan Yi looked up at her, and then looked down at me, a slight smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and then said, "Let ’s They are all named Yan, and they are all daughters of the Yan family. "

"..."

"Yan's daughter, it's not easy to be."

"..."

Yan Ruoyu and I looked at each other without speaking, but lowered my head gently, Yan Yi said gently, "You-I have heard a lot of you, you are not only smart, but also very capable. You And, not to mention that your family ’s livelihood is actually in your care. You only know that you dare to say those things to your grandfather, and you know that you are not an ordinary daughter. "

Yan Ruoyu looked up at her, her chest was slightly undulating, and she stopped talking. Yan Yi smiled and said, "Do you want to ask, since I agree with you, why did you say those words when you were in the shrine?"

Yan Ruoyu nodded immediately.

"Your ability is one thing, but what you do is another," Yan Yi said.

"..."

"Girl, no matter how competent and capable you are, now is not the time to go to your grandfather and your brother to be fair."

"Why did the aunt choose to guard the ancestral hall here?"

After hearing my question, Yan Yi turned her head to look at me again. This time, the smile on her face slowly disappeared, as if all the wrinkles were deeper. She looked at me for a while, then slowly Slowly drop your eyes.

I still looked at her and asked, "Why? So many years ..."

"..."

Yan Yi said, "You all want to know why?"

Yan Ruoyu and I nodded.

She was silent for a while, then sighed, and said, "Because no matter I have your intelligence, or your mind, our spiritual position cannot enter the ancestral temple; even our own, Ming surname Yan is also not qualified to enter the Yan Shizong Temple to have a look. "

"..."

This time, Yan Ruoyu and I didn't speak, but unlike the previous one, I clearly felt that my chest was hit hard with something, and a dull dumb pain came from the bottom of my heart.

For a while, none of them spoke and could not speak.

And I also remembered that when she was about to use the family law to Wu Shugong, Father Ma said that she vowed for life to protect the ancestral temple for the Yan family. , Then another one-

I looked at her and asked gently: "Aunt vowed not to marry her to guard the ancestral temple all her life, just to ... enter the ancestral temple?"

She looked up at me: "Yes."

"..."

"No woman can enter the ancestral shrine, because everyone thinks that her daughter was born to someone else's house, and she will eventually marry, which is what your grandpa said to me that year."

"..."

"But I don't know."

When she said that, she raised her eyebrows slightly. Although she was old and her face was full of wrinkles, her expression still looked extremely stubborn. No one could stop her and bend down. She said: "I asked him if I would not marry for a lifetime, and I wouldn't have a husband's surname, wouldn't I have been a member of the Yan family all my life."

"..."

"No, you are eligible to enter the shrine."

My palm was a little sweaty, I looked at her and said mutely, "So, how did Grandpa say that?"

Yan Yi smiled lightly: "Your grandpa said, logically, this can be the case."

"..."

"But only if I don't marry for life."

"..."

"I said, how difficult is this?"

At this moment, I could not hear the sound of Yan Ruoyu's breathing behind me, and myself, I also had a sense of deafness, looking at the stubborn expression on Yan Yi's old face, and couldn't speak for a while, but my chest was slightly The rise of the price is like having a thousand words to say.

It turns out that ...

It turned out that she was in order to enter the ancestral temple, or rather-to be fair for herself, so she vowed not to marry for life, in exchange for the right to enter the ancestral temple.

I didn't expect it to be the case.

I did not expect that there would be a woman who vowed not to marry for life for such power. She has guarded the shrine for decades and almost gave up her life.

I looked at her with sour stomach, before I had time to say anything, Yan Yi had raised her head to Yan Ruoyu and said, "You know why I said, now is not the time for you to ask your grandpa and ask your brother to be fair? ? "

Yan Ruoyu's eyes turned red and he shook his head slightly.

Yan Yidao: "Even with my fairness, before you get your hands, you want to be the homeowner ... how is that possible?"

"..."

"When the spiritual position of the unmarried daughter can enter her temple, one day, ask your grandfather, ask your brother, and fight for the position of the owner."

Yan Ruoyu didn't speak, I just saw her thin body tremble slightly, and it seemed like she was a little bit stunned after being struck by something invisible, but her red eyes just flashed, and there was no real Tears shed, and she looked at Yan Yi with a slightly stubborn throat: "Thanks aunt, I see."

Yan Yi looked at her like crying without tears, sighed slightly, turned her head to look at me, and then said, "You, you are more sensible than her, I don't need to tell you much."

"..."

"However, although you are sensible, the things you encounter are destined to be bigger, more, and heavier."

I hurriedly said, "What does my aunt think, what should I do?"

"How to do it?"

"Yes, I want to know, what should I do next," my voice gasped a little eagerly, and said, "The person caught today-Pei Yuanxiu, I know that if he lives, he will never give up No one can stop his ambition, maybe only death. "

"Kill him then."

"but--"

I stopped talking and looked at Yan Yi with some difficulty. Yan Yi also looked at me, her eyes flickered slightly: "Have you ever had a relationship with him?"

I bit my lower lip: "He saved my daughter, raised my daughter, and saved me. We were once husband and wife."

"However, you fled from him."

"Yes."

Yan Yi was silent for a moment, then chuckled and said, "This is not a problem solved by my old woman."

"..."

"But I just want to say a word to you."

"..."

"Don't forget who you are or what you want."

"..."

"There are many problems in life. On the surface, there is no solution. Even if you have to solve it, you must lose both. But if you remember this sentence, sometimes, if you really hurt, it is at least worth it."

"..."

"I believe you will make your own decision."

"..."

What she said was actually very easy to understand, even I always told myself this way, but at this moment, I was still a little confused, and I wanted to ask again, but saw that she was a little tired, and her eyelids froze. Yan Ruoyu hurried forward: "Aunt?"

Yan Yi looked up at us, then smiled: "As you get older, you'll come to sleep soon."

I stood up, watching Yan Ruoyu help her lie down, looked back at me, I nodded gently, and then leaned down and said to Yan Yi "Have a good rest, aunt", and heard her "Uh "After a moment, I turned around and went out.

At this time, the sunset was already down, and the sky was gradually getting dark.

A lot of flowers and plants were planted around the small yard, and there was a maple tree by the road. I saw a tall, thin figure standing there at a glance.

It's Mr. Ma.

I was a little surprised, but he was very quiet, standing there with his hands on his back, withered like a tree, still in the twilight.

I walked in wonder: "Master ..."

He looked at me and looked at the flashing window, and said, "Are you all right?"

"OK."

"she was--"

"Aunt is a little sleepy, if she was to serve her asleep. If you want to see her--"

"No need."
