Cold Palace’s Abandoned Consort

Rain dripping down.

Originally, I just came to open the door under the rain. At this time, I stood still at the door. The cold rain quickly wet my hair and wet my shoulders.

The girl hurriedly raised the umbrella over my head.

The rain this season is indeed ice and rain, which immediately brought a bitter cold, as if I felt it here, and lost everything, no longer a worrying cold. And I vaguely remember that before experiencing the ice and rain here, I also had that kind of pain, but just forgotten in the long years.

But now, it is inextricably bound, transpired from the ashes of time, let me recall the original.

I looked at her, and my voice was cold: "Who asked you to come?"

Instead of answering me, she said respectfully, "Miss, the boat is waiting for you by the river."

I didn't speak, but Lier's voice sounded behind him: "Mother."

I turned around and saw her standing at the door of the kitchen, holding a small piece of sweet-scented osmanthus sugar cake in her hand, looking at me in wonder: "Mother, is there a guest? Who is she?"

When the girl saw her, her eyes were a little brighter, but she seemed a little jealous. She didn't dare to speak easily. I stood at the door and said to Lier, "Lier, you are good at home, and your mother will come back after leaving. "

"Oh." She stared at me staringly: "Then, can I have another piece of sugar cake?"

Looking at her look with anticipation, although my chest was so dull that she almost choked, I couldn't help but smile a little, and said, "Okay, let me have another piece. But don't eat more. Mother will have to count back . "

"Know it!"

As soon as she heard it, Emperor Yan's amnesty was common, stuffed the remaining pieces of sugar cake into her mouth, turned and ran into the kitchen.

As soon as Lier's figure disappeared, the smile disappeared on my face.

I turned around and said to the girl, "Lead the way."

"Yes."

She was obviously a very cautious and winking girl, walking less than half a step in front of me, holding an umbrella to shield me from the wind and rain, and led the way again without going too far. Bit.

It's rare to be so steady at such a young age.

Obviously, it was too good to teach.

At this time I was too lazy to think about who had been trained, and followed her slowly forward, and soon came to the river. The rain was getting more and more intense, and from the distance, all the ripples on the river were stirred up by the rain and water. As if in the heart of a person, the past appeared like the past, and then it was difficult to calm down; A leaf boat stopped quietly, and the curtain was hanging from the cabin, covering the situation inside, as if the only quietness in that rain scene.

The girl led me to the river and said softly into the boat, "Miss Miss is here."

As soon as the words fell, I saw the curtain opened, and a person stepped out of the cabin from the waist.

The boat swayed for a while, and my breath suffocated.

In front of me, a monk in a gray coat and a tall body, the familiar, but old, unfamiliar face was immediately wet by the rain, and only those eyes showed a kind that was not affected by any environment. Almost persistent power, staring straight at me.

The moment I met those eyes, countless pictures flashed in front of my eyes-

Those exquisite, pavilions and towers like the palace of heaven ...

The girl who is exquisitely dressed, round and cute, as if painting a little fairy, enjoys thinking that it can be permanent, happy and warm ...

An aggressive woman slowly walked in from the door and blocked all the sunlight. From then on, it seemed that the heavens and the earth had darkened ...

In those gloomy days, only the mother's tenderest, warmest arms, persisting ...

I can't tell whether the dream or reality is in front of me. When the monk walked in front of me, I almost even called the word "Uncle Ai" involuntarily.

He saluted deeply towards me: "Miss."

It wasn't until I heard his voice that I came to understand it a bit, the reality in front of me.

I said dumbly, "Director Ai?"

He stood up straight and smiled at me.

However, I can't believe my eyes anymore.

The person in front of me was very familiar with him. His tall figure filled every scene of my childhood memories. I even remember that he held me high above his head and let me ride on his shoulder. The excitement of seeing far away.

More often, this person is very magnificent, because the status of the Yan family in Shu land is destined to be high above him, even in no way inferior to any fiercely powerful gentleman, and his shrewd decisiveness, I also believe that From the imperial court of many corpses in the imperial court, the deceased veteran has won thousands of miles.

However, I never thought that he would become a monk!

And I see him, although there is no such arrogant vigor of the past, there is not much peace, but the edges and sharp edges of the past have faded a lot under the grinding of years.

"You, a monk?"

"Yes, miss."

Seeing him still respectful, I smiled lightly: "Since being a monk, shouldn't all four be empty? Why do you still call me a lady?"

He also smiled: "That's because I haven't realized it yet."

"Oh?"

"If you really realize and break, you will not become a monk. Because there is a spiritual mountain in your heart, what is the difference between being a monk and living?"

I said, "You can say that. I think you've come to realize it."

"Miss Miss is ridiculous and can't afford it."

I smiled. At this moment, the girl next to her was almost wet in order to lift the umbrella above my head. She whispered, "Grandpa, let the young lady get on the boat and talk again. Now. "

"Yes, I'm confused."

He said, then came forward to meet me, when I got on the boat, but saw that the girl still did not come up, but stood on the shore with an umbrella. Uncle Ai pointed to her and said, "The young lady is afraid she's forgotten, she's just Susu."

"Susu!"

Although I already knew something in my heart, I was really surprised to hear what he said, watching the girl saying, "It's so big!"

"When the young lady left, she was just two or three years old."

"Yeah, I hugged her."

"Even the name was given by the young lady."

With that said, my heart was also a little soft, looking at the girl's apple-like face, with a slight smile, Uncle Ai had opened the curtain of the cabin and made a gesture of please, and I bent over and went in.

The boat is very delicate, and the cabin is not large, but the sparrows are small and well-organized, and everything is well organized. There is even a little cormorant in the middle, which has put two cups of tea and a stove of sandalwood. , The entire cabin was immersed in an elegant fragrance.

I sat down, looked up and looked around, and couldn't help laughing: "A monk, are you still on such a good boat?"

He smiled and didn't say anything: "It was arranged by the son."

"Oh?"

I listened, I didn't answer that, but the temperature in my eyes was a bit colder.

Yan Qingchen, he was intentional.

Before Pei Yuanfeng came to invite them, I got back a word and looked back at Xichuan who didn't invite me, but it did say something crazy. Although my identity ca n’t be shaken, according to human beings, Come, I still have to respond. The one in front of me is the elder who watched me grow up.

I just didn't expect that the elders who had already left the house could be invited by him.

Uncle Ai looked at my face, and it didn't seem to mean to continue the topic. Instead, he put the tea cup in front of me, sat down after he pleaded guilty, and said, "Actually, whether it's rich or not, it now looks like something outside of me . But why does the young lady live in this place? Still within a shot? "

I raised my eyebrows: "You know what?"

"Yes."

I didn't say anything, and Uncle Ai said, "Miss, son of a thousand daughters, can't sit down!"

Seeing what he said was distressed and painful again, I smiled slightly: "What is the son of a thousand dollars? Now he is just a different owner of the embroidery workshop, earning a living every day."

He listened to me, but shook his head gently: "Miss, don't forget, in the beginning, your mother was Madam Yan's family, and Xichuan's mother!"

I didn't speak, but immediately understood what he meant.

The status of the Yan family in Xichuan is unambiguous. Compared with the Jiangxia king in the six provinces of Jiangnan, after the king's closure, although the land was greatly dominated, it was ultimately subject to the court's jurisdiction and taxation must be in accordance with the law. Turn it in; but Xichuan is different. It is not a fiefdom, but an area independent of the court. The Yan family ’s industry is not all over Xichuan, but the Yan family ’s industry is Xichuan!

Such a family, whose financial resources are huge, is evident from its ability to support a war.

Thinking of this, I smiled slightly: "Yeah."

As the lady of the Yan family, in addition to the 522 silver lines that the government officials can spend every month as normal expenses, there is also a subsidy of 5,000 per year for clothes, footwear, jewelry, head oil, grease powder, and various gadgets. This kind of income may not even be available to those in Beijing, but compared to the mother's industry, it is only a small amount of money. As the positive wife of the Yan family, at the end of each year, they can receive 20% of all the profits of the Yan family.

It is said that this is the house rule set by the first generation of the Yan family, which is to ensure the transcendental status of the first wife of each generation, even if they are no longer petting, dividends are indispensable, and even if the aunts wo n’t be petted, they will not get a formal wife. Such a dividend.

So, how much money my mother has, I haven't figured it out, but I also know that it is an unimaginable wealth.

I couldn't help sneering at the thought.

If it weren't for this, there would not have been a new lady entering the door to make it bigger, and the original match would have been a ridiculous thing.

Looking at my sneer, Uncle Ai whispered, "Miss?"

I said, "It's true that before the new lady came in, my mother should have accumulated an amazing fortune, and it could even be said that the country is rich. But where did that money go?"

Even if it became a partial house later, those benefits were lost, but the money received before was still there. In my memory, she has never been a profligate person. Before the new lady entered the house, her personal life was quite simple, sometimes she could call it bitterness, the most basic, if you were not with me And father, her meal did not even have big fish and meat. But why did our lives become so distressed later?
