Cold Palace’s Abandoned Consort

I smiled at him slightly: "It's okay, I just have a few stitches. Don't hurry up, in case the goods can't be delivered, the boss should not use me."

After that, I rubbed my eyes, wiped my sweaty fingers on the cloth, and still embroidered slowly.

Liu San'er looked at me for a while, then turned around and went out.

I didn't care, I continued to embroider the butterflies under my hand.

After a while, I embroidered another one. I raised my head and moved the sour neck, only to find that Liu Saner was gone.

Did he go back to rest?

After I arrived at his house, he set up a small hut in the corner of the yard and fell asleep by himself. He would never stay in this hut as long as he had dinner. Although it was troublesome for him, it was helpless right now.

I just hope that I can help him more, just fine.

Thinking of this, I turned my sour wrist, twisted the needle again to continue embroidery, and heard a rush of footsteps from outside.

I looked up, but saw that Liu Saner ran to me panting, and there was a lot of grass on the hair.

"What did you do?"

He grinned and took out the hands hiding behind his back.

Suddenly, a flash of fluorescence flashed in front of my eyes.

I froze for a moment and looked intently. He was holding two small gauze bags in his hand. The gauze had been washed as thin as a cicada because it had been washed too many times, and it was emitting a faint fluorescent light, which illuminated my Eyes glowed for a while.

"this is--"

"firefly!"

He smiled and said, "I just went to the ground to catch it. How about it, now I can see if it is clear."

As he said, he hurriedly gathered the bag of fireflies in front of me.

I froze.

The firefly's light was actually very faint, so it flickered, with a sense of uncertainty, but it illuminated the young, handsome face in front of him, and the warm smile on that face.

I looked at him with a tremor in my heart.

"How's it going?"

"bright……"

"Then you don't embroider this embroidery, I will take it for you."

After that, he stood on the other side of the table, carrying the two gauze bags in his hands, standing like a lantern stand.

Although there is a little more light in front of me, I don't know why, but my eyes are a bit fuzzy.

He looked at me and said, "It's almost finished, rest early."

"Oh ..." I rubbed my eye socket gently and lowered my head to continue the needle lead.

When the last stitch was finished, it was too late. I could n’t help but yawned and looked up, but I saw that the man who helped me to light up was already dozing, although still barely standing there, But with an expression of ignorance, his head was little by little, like a chicken who pecking rice.

I couldn't help laughing, and I gave birth to a little bit of teasing, so I stood up and walked to him, whispering loudly while he was dozing, and suddenly "wow" in his ear.

"Wow--!"

He shouted even louder than me. The whole man jumped and even lost the gauze bag.

"Hahahaha ..."

Looking at him, I couldn't help laughing, and then he looked back at me ignorantly and saw my face narrowed, and couldn't help laughing: "What are you doing, it scared me."

I was laughing. Suddenly, a star light fluttered past my eyes.

Both people froze and looked intently. It turned out to be a firefly.

He dropped the gauze bag on the ground, his mouth opened, and the fireflies inside flew out. After a while, the fireflies surrounded us, the dots of fluorescent light flickered and disappeared, as if countless stars were lingering around us, and at this moment, we seemed to be in the Milky Way.

What a beautiful view!

I looked at the scene in front of me, and suddenly hesitated.

Once upon a time, it seemed that there were such nights, such flashes of light, and I was totally unaware of watching this scene, but I did not know that I had become the scenery of others.

It also became the prey of others.

Without those nights, what about those fireflies?

Is everything different?

Can I be an obscure little maid in the cabinet, go out of the house, use my savings to do a little business, and marry a man who is honest, maybe I ca n’t eat enough, but not warm, but He will leave me rations, and he will warm me with his chest when he is not warm.

I slowly raised my head and looked at the young and clean face in front of the fireflies in front of me.

He also looked at me, and there were fireflies in those clear eyes. There was a kind of indefinable clarity, like a clear spring, clean and clear, and even people couldn't bear to stir a little ripple.

For a long while, I heard him mumble, "So beautiful!"

"..."

For some reason, when I heard this praise, suddenly a sadness came from me, and my eyes suddenly turned red.

Liu San'er was also startled, as if suddenly waking up from a dream, and took a big step back in a hurry, saying happily: "Light, sorry, I--"

"..."

"I-me, it's getting late, you have to rest early."

After that, he ran out in a hurry.

I stood in the place, surrounded by a firefly that was frightened by the wind, as if a quiet lake suddenly caused ripples, and I stood in the flashing fluorescence, but did not leave for a long time.

.

.

For the next few days, I wrote letters for people during the day and needlework at night. The boss had a lot of work. If I did n’t rush to do it, I really could n’t make it, so I only stayed up every day, maybe because I stayed up late. Relationship, I feel that I have been a bit lazy, and my spirit has become a bit helpless.

But there is no way to catch this batch of goods, so I have to boil first.

Since that night, Liu San'er has always been a little cramped to see me. I know he doesn't have a bad mind, it's just that the two of us are lonely men and widows after all, so it is inevitable that we get along with each other. So these days, intentionally or unintentionally, although we are in the same yard, we have less time to meet.

Hurry up and finally rushed out the goods after half a month. I still followed him to catch up this morning. The wound on his hand was already healed, leaving only a scar. In the past few days, he had the courage to go down the river every day. He touched a few big fish in the ditch and kept selling it this time.

When he was at the market, he still set up a stall in the old place. As soon as he sat down, I said to him, "You are watching here now, and I will deliver to the embroidery workshop."

He looked at me and said, "Would you like me to go with you? I don't think you look well."

"It's all right."

I smiled and went to Xiufang with my baggage alone.

The boss took the baggage and opened it for a look, with a satisfied expression on his face: "Nice, yes."

I wiped the sweat from my forehead, and finally let down my heart.

"Girl, your craft is really good. Have you ever done it before? Your craft is hard to find even in Yangzhou City."

I smiled at him but didn't speak.

In fact, my rhetoric has already been compiled--I was originally from Xiangxi, and I used to work in the Xiufang there, because my hometown was so empty and ten rooms, so I came here to trust my aunt, and it ’s not a long time. Eat it for nothing, just come out and do some work. There is no problem with this set of rhetoric, but I do n’t know if it was because of staying up late last night and I have just walked for a long time on the mountain road. I now feel that I have been sweating cold all the time, and my lower abdomen has a little pain, so I do n’t want to speak .

The boss also saw that I was wrong, and said carefully, "Girl? What's wrong with you?"

"It's okay, I'm just a little tired."

I said, wiped the sweat from my forehead, and barely smiled, "Boss, is there any work for me this time?"

"Oh, here's a good job for you."

The boss took out a bag with a smile and said, "This time there is not much work, but to embroider finely, it is used by the master of a large family in the front. I said that I don't stick to any pictures, as long as the embroidery is simple and elegant. Just fine. I took a look. We are really the only ones here who dare to continue. You can take it back and make embroidery, and the reward is indispensable to you. "

"Thank you for your attention!"

I thanked him, and the boss told me a few more words, and then calculated the wages for the previous batch of goods, two hoists of money, heavy in my hands, I stuffed it into a bag and thanked him again Thanks, he left Xiufang to find Liu San'er.

As soon as I came out of the door of the embroidery workshop, the sun turned white in front of me, and I suddenly felt dizzy.

Somehow, I feel more and more uncomfortable, and I ca n’t tell what's going on. Every step I take is like stepping on cotton. The lower abdomen is also faintly painful. My belly is moving forward step by step, although I bite tight. The teeth are closed, but cold sweat still wants to drop the drops from the forehead like a broken bead.

Just then, on the road ahead, an official rushed over on a horse.

While strategizing, he shouted to the people along the street: "The government has a decree, starting to check household registration tomorrow! The government has a decree, starting to check household registration tomorrow!"

Check household registration?

As soon as I heard it, my body suddenly became weak, and I almost fell. At this moment, a pair of big hands stretched over and grabbed me.

I froze for a moment, and as soon as I looked up, I met Liu San'er's worried and anxious eyes.

"Lightness, what's wrong with you?"

"me……"

I ca n’t say it, I feel like I have become a prey that is about to fall into a trap. There is a sadness that cannot be escaped, and like depression in the heart, it is physical suffering. , Clutching the placket of his chest, biting his teeth, "I, I'm a bit uncomfortable."

"What? Uncomfortable?" As soon as he heard it, he hugged me horizontally.

I was taken aback and looked at him with wide eyes.

He didn't speak, holding me and strode forward.

After all, this is a bazaar where people come and go. Everyone looks at us as they look at us, but he looks like he has no feeling, with a serious expression on his face, without squinting. He went straight in and took me to an old doctor: "Doctor, look at her quickly!"

"this is--"

"She's not feeling well. Please help her to see if she's sick?"

The old doctor glanced at me, seeing that I was pale, cold sweat came out, and hurriedly said, "Come here, sit down."

Liu Saner carefully put me into the chair, with both hands still guarding my side. The old doctor carefully helped me diagnose the pulse, and suddenly frowned.

When Liu San'er met, he immediately said nervously, "Doctor, what's wrong?"

The old doctor looked at him and looked at me again, frowning and said, "What's up with you? This little lady is three months pregnant, why don't you know anything?"
