Peony Heavy Ripple Carmine

The breeze satin, the lovesickness is tight at night, the days are short, why bother to add a dream.

Empty! Empty! Empty!

Empty...! I stretched out my hand and grabbed at random, but I couldn't catch anything. What I touched seemed to be an annoying silk net. It caught me, and I couldn't break free even after struggling. .

I was frightened into a cold sweat, sat up suddenly, quickly touched the dagger in my arms, opened my eyes wide and looked around.Then I gasped and discovered that this turned out to be a woman's boudoir.The quilt has been kicked to the ground by me, and the bed is icy cold.

Where is this?I looked around back and forth, sighed roughly, closed my eyes and calmed down.You must know that I never dream, I always wake up until dawn.

It may be that the body is too weak recently, coupled with mental depression.

Yesterday I went to find Chexue... Chexue!

I was startled, and quickly opened my eyes to look around.I took a closer look and no one around me had slept. Except for the piece I tossed out by myself, there were no wrinkles in other places.Before I could think about it, I quickly picked up the quilt from the ground, and was dragged on the ground by the horns. When I was putting on my shoes, I tripped and almost rolled down.Seeing my coat on the chair, I draped it casually on my body and looked outside. As soon as I got to the screen, I saw the door of this room was open, and the wind was blowing in, and there seemed to be someone standing outside. with.

I shivered for a while, and I couldn't help tightening my clothes, and the cat was behind the screen.Taking a closer look, it was Chexue, so I breathed a sigh of relief, thought about it, and was also worried, so I went to her.

When I got to the door, the scene frightened me again.Lianxiang knelt straight in the yard, looking at Chexue resolutely.

Her hair was loose, and the long hair that used to fall down to her calf now only reached her neck.

I was horrified.

In my impression, there is only one reason for a Qifeng woman to cut her hair-to observe the festival and show her ambition!

For whom is Lianxiang celebrating the festival?

My eyes turned to the object she was holding in front of her chest, a gold-lettered tablet made of ebony wood, with a few words written in gold powder on it, Lu Chongzi.

She knelt there motionless, as if begging for Chexue's forgiveness.Although I don't know why, I have a faint feeling in my heart, and after thinking about it for a long time, I gradually understand it.

Heavy purple! ! !

As if I had been hit with a sledgehammer, the answer was ready to come.

In this scene, it seems that Lianxiang is in a stalemate with Chexue, and several long servants in Chexue's yard are standing aside timidly. It seems that just now, oh no, or there is also a battle going on now.

It only belongs to Lianxiang, Chexue, and...Chong Zi's fierce battle, this is a game that other people can't get involved in.

I don't know if there is a solution, but I thought I'd give it a try.

For the time being, it can be regarded as a step down for the two of them, otherwise, according to Chexue's temperament, she might really let Lianxiang kneel here in the cold for a day. Besides, I am also worried about her body. If Lianxiang is like this, she will definitely be here with her, because Lianxiang is her person.

I plucked up the courage to pull La Chexue's sleeve, she turned her head, her face was indifferent, at the moment her eyes swept over me, for the first time, I felt an incomparable strangeness and... fear from Chexue .I thought I knew her well enough, but it seems, the distance between us is still far away.

Her eyes were terribly red, Che Xue pursed her lips tightly, and said nothing.I looked at my face reflected in her eyes with a look of panic.

I can't read her current thoughts, her eyes are like a black pool, bottomless.

Then, I gave up.I know that this time, no matter what, I can't persuade her to come again, there is no one, she is the only one on that road.No one can stand by her side, no.

An indelible sadness rose in my heart, not only because of my smallness and powerlessness, but also because I finally understood that she had never put anyone by her side.

In her opinion, what am I, what are Lianxiang and Chongzi, even the Jinxing Lu family, or even Qifeng.

Can……

She is her, I am me, if I just give up halfway because of one expression and one action, then I am not Qin Xiange.Thinking of this, I couldn't help laughing, avoiding Chexue's gaze, I walked down the steps, came to Lianxiang and squatted down, holding her hand.

Her hands were cold, and so was her body.

I took her into my arms.

Heavy purple, heavy purple.I can clearly hear Lianxiang's vibrato in my ears.

&&&

First funeral, mourning, mourning, funeral, funeral, nothing.

Chong Zi's whole body was retrieved by Chexue through some unknown means. After being coffined, it was parked in the yard, and seventeen lamps were lit around the coffin.

Everything runs silently.

When I closed the cover, I took a look. The area around the wound had obviously been treated with care, and there were dark purple scabs on the exposed arm. I can imagine what it would look like under the clothes.What made people feel particularly distressed was Chong Zi's demeanor, which was very serene, with a smile on her face, as if she had just fallen into a deep sleep.This is completely different from what I imagined. Although I haven't seen it in person, but I heard people talk about the tragic situation of Chong Zi during the execution, and it will not be this expression.This is simply a strange thing, and I have heard people say that it is usually difficult to maintain the last expression in life after death, let alone the upward corner of the mouth.

What made me frown even more was that I couldn't pull it away with two donkeys.

With this question in mind, I was surprised to find that a strand of black on the side of Chong Zi's cheek spread to her hands clasped on her abdomen.But what caught my attention more than this was the posture of her hand, which was not held flat, but a strange posture where the palms of the hands were facing each other and wanted to hold something.Then I tiptoed forward and stood there, staring intently, and by the dim light of the candle, I saw that the tuft of black was undoubtedly the hair.

It seemed that someone had borrowed the hairline to make such a shape and put it in Chong Zi's hands, as if trying to cover up something.I was full of doubts, and looked around to see that these people were all Lu Fu Chexue's servants, familiar faces.Looking at them like this, there is really nothing strange about them.What is this...

I carefully looked at that strand of hair, it was very thick, and I couldn't hold it in one hand... My mind lit up, and I turned my gaze to Lian Xiang, who was lighting a brazier beside her. Her hair was all broken, right? I estimated the length, and it turned out to be surprisingly similar.It's probably also close to ten, that hair must be Lianxiang's.

Thinking of this, my heart softened again. When I was born, I couldn't love longing, tearing apart the mandarin ducks, only the blue silk around the pillow.

Alas, why bother.

"Young master, it's time, it's time to rise." An old man's voice sounded, I followed the sound, and I didn't know when there were six people standing outside the inner courtyard, and I saw an old man with a stooped body in front of him. The reminder just now must have come from him.Behind the old man are four servants dressed in black, who are very strong, and beside him is a man in his early 40s who is dressed differently.

The regular attendant in the yard gave way to a path, dressed in plain moon mourning clothes, with a silver fox fur coat, no makeup applied, but Qingsi tied with a peony hairpin, that person could not be Chexue.

"Let's go." Chexue's face was almost pale to the extreme, and my heart pulled.But she herself didn't seem to care, so Lianxiang picked out a wick and lit the street lamp to hand it to her.

I secretly sighed, since she is like this, why bother to be brave again.Lu Chexue, oh Lu Chexue, have you been having trouble with yourself all your life?

After obtaining Che Xue's approval, the four men outside the door also went in to hold the coffin.

"rise!"

Chexue walked in front of the coffin with the light on, and Lianxiang followed beside the coffin sadly. Seeing her precarious body, I quickly stepped forward to help her.I squinted at the old man walking in front and exchanged opinions with Chexue. When he was sure that Chexue would acquiesce, he just nodded slightly, and said nothing more, just leading the way.And the middle-aged man who came with them was walking behind the line. I could hardly hear his footsteps, and he seemed to be a restrained master.

Following the guidance of the old man, a group of people left the mansion through an inconspicuous small door, and went straight to the west.When I went out, I found that besides those six people, there were only Che Xue, me, Lian Xiang, and Chong Zi in the coffin.

After walking for a long time, I don't know how the old man in front is related to Yushi Jiumentong. When we swaggered past the two rows of patrolling soldiers who regarded us as nothing, I was surprised and terrified, thinking of this The old man is not from the Lu Mansion and has an extremely close relationship with the Lu Manor, but this is the capital Liyang after all.If it was in another place, even the best-connected nepotism would have to nod and say hello, but now, the eyes of those soldiers did not fall on us at all.

But it was no longer time to think wildly, I wrapped the cloak around me, tightened Lianxiang in my arms, and hurried forward.

It seemed that the place had been chosen in advance, and it took about another stick of incense to walk before I saw the old man in front of me stop and point out, indicating that Chexue's place had arrived.I looked closely, and there were a few grave mounds scattered in front of me, and the place he pointed to was an unformed mound, but it was enough to accommodate the entire coffin.

Under the signal of the old man, the strong man in black put the coffin in firmly, and stood aside to wait for the order.

Lianxiang and I didn't know what to do at this time, so we had to pay close attention to Chexue to see what she did.

At this time, the middle-aged man who had been at the end of the team walked up to Chexue, and I saw him unload a khaki cloth bag from his shoulder and put it on the ground.After opening it, there are copper pipes one by one. He skillfully connected the copper pipes one by one. Finally, a soil shovel half human height was displayed in front of us. After that, he handed the shovel to Chexue.

I don't know why, but I always feel a little strange in my heart. I think there will always be a turning point in this matter. Maybe Chexue will turn me into a living heavy purple again. In fact, I also had this idea in the beginning. they come.

But it seems that things are not going in the direction I expected.

The first prying was to plow through the snow, then the old man, and then the middle-aged man each gave a symbolic shovel.The soil that the three of them raised was piled up in front of each other and remained untouched.

This is paving the way.

I was thinking about whether to continue, and then my right chest felt cold, Lian Xiang left my cloak, went to the buried coffin, knelt down with a plop, and kowtowed three times.Then he got up and took a handful of paving soil, sprinkled it on the coffin that had been buried in the ground, and then repeated it twice.Then I turned around, looked at Che Xue, looked hesitant, and came back to me.

"Young master, it's time." This was the second time I heard his voice.

After being silent for a while, Che Xue's voice sounded faintly.She turned her head to the other side so that no expression could be seen.

"Fall to the ground..."

The four strong men obeyed, and each took the same cloth bag as the man from their shoulders, and assembled them together.It didn't take long for it to be installed.

Chexue's voice trembled a little, I don't know if it was because of the cold weather or...

It's always hard to take my eyes off her.

Not long after, the soil had buried half of the coffin, and I couldn't help shivering, my body was shaking, so I rubbed my hands to keep warm.Looking around, the unknown tombs next to them must have been abandoned long ago, with a lot of weeds growing on them, and no one came to clean them up.I really didn't expect Chong Zi to end up in this situation, and I couldn't help but feel sad. Even people like me who seldom shed tears felt that the eyes were filled with tears. I don't know what Chexue and Lianxiang would think.I turned my head to look at Lianxiang, she was staring at the grave, her face was blurred...

I was about to comfort her, but I never thought that Lianxiang would kneel down and dig the ground with bare hands, I couldn't help but exclaimed.Then he immediately rushed up to pull her up, but Lianxiang was unmoved in the slightest, stubborn as hell.In the end, I could only ask Chexue for help, but the moment I met her eyes, my anger was aggravated. Chexue avoided my gaze, and she didn't mean to stop Lianxiang at all. I have no time at this moment Consider others.

"Lianxiang! Stop it!" My sharp voice echoed on the empty mound, and I found it particularly irritating. "Chong Zi is dead, don't you want her to rest in peace?" I felt that my patience had reached its limit, and I really resisted the urge to slap someone myself, because the person in front of me was Lianxiang. Do not do it.

It seemed that my words touched her, Lian Xiang's movements froze for a moment, taking this opportunity, I stepped forward and threw her to the side.She was limp on the ground, biting her lip and choking, bloodstains were already oozing.

Those strong men were quick, seeing what happened on our side, the copper shovels under their hands flipped up and down like flying, and after a while, they were filled up.

I supported Lianxiang, who was on the verge of collapse, and watched as they compacted the soil and piled up stones.

Chong Zi finally couldn't come back.

Chexue walked up to me, and I could see that she was also desperately suppressing her emotions.She took Lianxiang from my arms, and I was very close to them, but I didn't hear what Chexue said in Lianxiang's ear.In short, Chexue stroked Lianxiang's back gently, and this time, Lianxiang cried out.

I know that the relationship between Lianxiang and Chexue is unparalleled, and it has always been.

Lian Xiang cried so hard that she almost lost her breath, and it took her a long time to recover.

Then I discovered one thing, but the name of Chong Zi was not engraved on the tombstone.

It was written, dearest relative Yanran.The person who erected the stele was named Lu Lianxiang.

Lu, Lianxiang.

So, Yanran, whose name is it?

The author has something to say:

After all these years, looking back, I found that the few porcelains around me were still alone.

Whether you like it or not, the new year begins, the old year goes, I wish everyone well.

The only word to give to your loved ones, peace.

For me, I just hope that in the Year of the Dragon, I will earn more money and gain some wisdom.
