The wind howls on a cold night, the half-moon clouds cover the stars, the trees surround the lonely houses, and the high walls block the noisy women in the courtyard.The candles in the main house of Shou'an Hall, which is in the shape of a tall tower, are gradually extinguished, and only a small window on the top floor of the main house still reflects the candlelight.Two black shadows leaped over the wall like ghosts, flashing into the back door of the tower-like main house.This is the small door of the kitchen, which is reserved for the women who deliver food during the day, and is locked at dusk.It wasn't locked tonight, and the door opened with a gentle push.Zhuge Yi quietly entered the kitchen with Begonia, looked around at the kitchen and saw that there was no one in the kitchen, pulled her to hide in the corner, and whispered: "You stay here, I'll investigate." ”"Master, let the shadow guard go."
Li Haitang grabbed the cold hand, and his nervous voice was vibrato.Zhuge Yi pinched her fair round face, and said softly: "Wait here, I'll come back to find you when I find the way." ”"Okay."
Li Haitang obediently agreed, holding his big cold hand and admonishing: "Master, be careful." ”"Okay."
Zhuge Yi held her little face and kissed her gently on the forehead, and stuffed the bag of candied fruit he brought into her little hand: "After eating five, I'll come back." ”Li Haitang shook his head, held the small bag in his arms, and waved his hand at him.Zhuge Yi smiled, reluctantly pinched her round face, turned around and flashed out of the small kitchen door, and entered the main house of Shou'an Hall.Since the small door of the kitchen was deliberately not locked, Zhuge Yi knew that it must have been deliberately arranged by the cousin.Therefore, he was not worried that Begonia was in danger, so he dodged in the building and dived to the top floor.The tower-like roof has only one room, and the cousin lives alone.Tonight, she lit an oil lamp and sat by the window admiring the half-quarter moonlight.A pot of tea is faint and fragrant, complementing the silence in the room."
Since you're here, show up and warm up with a cup of tea."
The cousin-in-law poured a cup of tea and put it on the table, and the teapot was placed in the palm of her hand to warm it.Zhuge Yi walked out from behind the cyan curtain and sat down at the table to drink.The tea fragrance is light, the entrance is astringent but the aftertaste is long."
Good tea!""
Zhuge Gongzi praises falsely."
The cousin-in-law sat by the window and did not move, stretched out her arm to carry the teapot and poured another cup for him, and said, "It's rare that a person like you likes my coarse tea, please drink another cup." ”Zhuge Yi stood up and bowed, "Thank you, sister-in-law." ”"You're welcome."
The cousin-in-law held the teapot in her arms, carefully looked at Zhuge Yi's perfect facial features, and couldn't help but sigh: "You were born so handsome and extraordinary, it can be seen that your parents are also the most beautiful and handsome couple in the world." ”When it comes to his parents, Zhuge Yi still has a shallow outline in his memory, vaguely remembering that his father is tall and mighty, and his mother is gentle and kind.When he first woke up every morning, he could drink the wild boar soup cooked by his mother, which his father had hunted from the mountains all night."
When my parents died, I was still young and had no memory."
Zhuge Yi was stunned, silently drank tea and stopped talking.His people in the Eight Great Clans are foreign teenagers who are sent under the fence, and his identity in Porcelain Yu Town is only a painter, and he is also the painter of Feng Xiannu.The cousin-in-law added a third cup of tea for herself, and the teapot was empty.She said apologetically, "I'm sorry, my pot is too small, only this one cup." ”"It doesn't matter, two cups of tea are enough to moisten your throat.No matter how much hot tea I drink in my body, I can't warm up, so I don't have to mind. ”Zhuge Yi drank half a cup, put the empty teacup back on the table, and said, "The person who used the flying pigeon to deliver the message today was arranged by the cousin-in-law, right?"
What did you do with bringing begonias here?
”"It's not me looking for her, it's Liu Xiniang."
The cousin-in-law didn't seem to be in a hurry to drive him out with the teapot in her arms, and after looking at him carefully, she couldn't help but sigh: "You are really Zhuge Ying's own brother, and the charm between your eyebrows and eyes is exactly the same as hers."
Back then, I also looked at her quietly, and she sat quietly like you. ”Zhuge Yijian's eyebrows frowned slightly, guessing the real purpose of the cousin's sister-in-law to bring them here, just to let Haitang go to see Liu Xiniang?
Isn't there a plan to bring him here?"
The girl I said may have the same surname as me, but I don't have a sister, only a brother.""
Kid, you can't fool me."
The cousin slowly stood up with the teapot in her arms, leaned on the wall and the table and slowly walked to the large cabinet on the east wall, and took out a pineapple carved wooden box from it.She was a little weak and stubbornly holding on to the teapot."
You can help me get it to the table.""
Yes."
Zhuge Yi carefully took the pineapple carved wooden box, and helped the cousin to the table with one hand."
You open it."
The cousin leaned back to the chair in front of the window and sat down, took a deep breath, closed her eyes and adjusted her rapid breathing.She said lightly: "My deadline is near, and there are always things that cannot go to hell with me."
From the time you first came to Ciyu Town five years ago, I knew that you were Zhuge Ying's own brother, and I also knew the purpose of your visit. ”Zhuge Yi was secretly vigilant, this concubine spoke too bluntly, so he had to think that the people of the Eight Great Clans used her mouth to explore the truth.The cousin-in-law leaned on the windowsill, opened her cloudy eyes, and said, "The wooden box was left by Zhuge Ying, and she said that one day her brother would come to avenge her."
If I am lucky enough to see her own brother, I will give it to him with my own hands.When you first came to Ciyu Town five years ago, I wanted to go to look for you, but then I backed down.At that time, you were fledgling, and you couldn't fight the people of the Eight Great Clans.Now, you are older, with Yanxia Ling Ye and Qishan Qin Wuye behind you, and Feng Xiannu as your shield, I can finally fulfill my promise to Zhuge Ying and hand over the wooden box she left behind to you before I die. ”After saying this long sentence, the cousin-in-law couldn't stop coughing.She hurriedly covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, and turned her back to him.Zhuge Yi took out a bottle of medicine from his arms and handed it to his cousin-in-law, "It will be more comfortable to eat one."
Your illness is not fatal, you should be cured sooner. ”"If you can cure the disease, you can't cure the life.I was trapped in this cage for thirty-one years, and I was relieved to die. ”The cousin-in-law took the handkerchief and clenched it tightly in her hand, leaving a little blood on the corners of her mouth and nostrils.Zhuge Yi poured out a pill for her and said, "If you are willing to wait for two more years, I will ensure that you walk out alive." ”"No need."
The cousin-in-law refused, not only rejecting his promise, but also the pills he gave.Zhuge Yi was not reluctant, threw the pills into the charcoal stove where the water was boiling, and sat back at the table to stare at the pineapple carved wooden box.The cousin-in-law coughed again, breathed slowly, and said, "Open it, that's what Zhuge Ying left for you." ”"My sister died unjustly.""
Yes, the women of the eight major clans have not lived unjustly."
The cousin-in-law looked at the handkerchief in her hand that was soaked in blood, closed her eyes and sighed sadly: "Zhuge Ying is the most innocent, the most wronged, and the most wronged woman. ”Zhuge Yi silently opened the pineapple carved wooden box, and what caught his eye was a jade pendant, a cherry blossom hosta, a golden lock and a silk handkerchief.The dragon's eyes instantly burst into tears, he endured his sorrow, and asked in a choked voice, "How did you know my sister?"
Why did she give you these things?
”The cousin-in-law wiped away the tears on her cheeks and said sadly: "Zhuge Ying is a good girl, she is a person who lives a very transparent life. ”"Tell me."
Zhuge Yi picked up the jade pendant and put it in the palm of his hand, and the coldness of the jade pendant seemed to be better than the coldness of his palm.() Glory to the end
