Tanhualu

Jin'er slept very restlessly this time.

She has some problems with choosing a bed, and at the moment the bed she is on is too comfortable, the brocade quilt brushes against her exposed skin, it is slippery and does not hinder at all, it is not the same as the coarse quilt she used to wear in the mountain residence The simple heated kang with mud and clay is simply not the same.

Indistinctly, there is also a faint scent, I don't know if it is incense or something else, swaying around her body.It smells very good, but it also disturbed her sleep.

After tossing and turning on the bed several times, Jin'er sighed silently, cursing herself that she is really used to hard times!Is it in vain to ask the mother-in-law to love him?

She was lying on her back, staring intently at the intricate and gorgeous patterns on the bed curtain above her head, and pursed her lips.He couldn't help but think of the mountain people he had healed. Seeing that their small basket of eggs was precious, he was reluctant to eat them, and he kindly brought them to himself, thanking him for saving his life.In comparison, the extravagant life of Wanyue Villa is really reckless!

She grew up to now, except for a few days when she lived in Wanyue Mountain Villa, most of the time she was not tortured by the poison brought by her womb, or she was in the mountains to accompany her mother-in-law to learn medical poisons. The days of wealth and magnificence really haven't passed for a few days.For those low-level people who are in pain, she feels much more deeply than Yu Wenrui, who has lived in wealth for a long time.

However, Jing Yan regards her as her own, and Yu Wenrui even taught her martial arts skills, and Jin'er still misses them very much.

Jin'er was thinking wildly, not knowing when to fall asleep.

Just after dawn, she woke up suddenly.

Sure enough, changing a place to sleep made her feel uneasy. In her sleep, the days of being tortured by fetal poison came back.

Opening her eyes suddenly, she saw the intricate and gorgeous patterns on her head, reminding her where she was at the moment.Jin'er's mind gradually returned to clarity, she let out a long sigh of relief, and the cold sweat on her forehead slowly dissipated.

The feeling of pain and helplessness in the dream, now thinking about it, I still have lingering fears.

She propped herself up and sat up.With her movements, something warm and moist passed between her neck, and then it was safely attached to her chest and collarbone.

Jin'er subconsciously groped into the coat, and with two fingers twisted out a length of red rope hanging around her neck.At the end of the red rope is a jade pendant about two inches in diameter.

Jade is a high-quality fat jade, which is delicate and smooth to the touch.The most special thing is that when the jade is facing the sun, you can see the faint brilliance flowing in the jade piece.When you look closely, you will be surprised that it turned out to be a picture of "Danfeng Chaoyang".

Jin'er could not help but hold the piece of jade tightly.She always remembered that Aunt Hong had mentioned to her countless times about the origin of this piece of jade when she was alive——

That day, Aunt Hong hugged her, who had just turned one year, and begged to the door of her biological mother's former employer, begging for some money for her biological mother's sake, to help her cure the fetal poison.But he was ruthlessly turned away by the owner.

At that time, Aunt Hong hugged her, who hadn't remembered anything, and crouched at the door of her old club, and it could be said that she was ineffective every day.When there was almost no way out, a lady from Guijie passed by with her maid, and kindly gave them the jade pendant she was carrying with her, and told Aunt Hong, "Be sure to see a doctor for this child."

At that time, Aunt Hong was very grateful, thinking about how to pawn this jade pendant and exchange some silver taels for medical treatment.Unexpectedly, after the woman returned home, she specially ordered the maid to find them and gave them 20 taels of silver.

Just relying on these 20 taels of silver, the two talents, one big and one small, would not starve to death halfway.Aunt Hong walked with Jin'er in her arms for half a week, and visited countless medical clinics, but none of them could cure the poison.The weather was getting colder, and they came to the south of the Yangtze River. When they were helpless, they met Jing Yan and Yu Wenrui who were out on a trip on the road, and Jin'er's life was saved.

Even so, Aunt Hong's body was almost exhausted due to the two years of running around.But she was worried about Jin'er, and insisted on staying by Jin'er's side, accompanying her to the mountain for medical treatment, and unfortunately passed away three years ago.

"Good boy, you must always carry this piece of jade with you... When you grow up, you must find the savior back then and thank her for her kindness..."

The words that Aunt Hong said before she died are still in my ears; her last appearance also emerges in Jin'er's mind.

Although three years have passed, the heart-piercing feeling has gradually faded away, but Jin'er is still a little sad.She knew that Aunt Hong treated her well, and in this world, no one would treat her better than Aunt Hong.

If it is said that her adoptive mother Jing Yan loves her, then Aunt Hong does not only love her?That is the person who would be willing even if he gave her his life!

There was enthusiasm in Jin'er's eyes.She firmly remembered Aunt Hong's entrustment, but where was that benefactor?

Outside the window, half of the sun has jumped out of the mountain, and the room is getting brighter and brighter.

Xi Wei's light hit the raised bed curtain, and Jin'er felt a faint brilliance flow on the fat jade in her hand.

Like every time she looked at the jade, she wondered who the benefactor was——

Although she is young and hasn't seen much in the world, the jade quality and exquisite workmanship are definitely not something ordinary people can afford.

There is also the pattern of "Danfeng Chaoyang" in jade, which is obviously not born naturally.I don't understand this kind of craftsmanship, but I also know that ordinary craftsmen can't make it.

Therefore, the benefactor who gave the jade back then must be either rich or noble.

There is one thing Jin'er doesn't know: Although the Great Zhou Dynasty was not as strict as the previous dynasty in terms of the shape and structure of Tianjia objects, because of the emergence of several empresses, the phoenix pattern was not easy to use.Ordinary rich and noble families, most of the objects used by the female relatives have the pattern of blue luan bird; those who can use the pattern of phoenix in a dignified manner must have some connection with the heavenly family.

Jin'er leaned on the bed, held the piece of jade and thought for a long time, but couldn't think of a reason.I had no choice but to let go of it for the time being, and secretly made up my mind to go to the capital when I grew up.

Not only because Aunt Hong said that the benefactor probably still lives in the capital, but she also thought that she wanted to visit the place where her biological mother lived to see with her own eyes.

Aunt Hong once vaguely mentioned that her biological mother worked in the "Gezi"... Then, what is the "Gezi"?

Jin'er couldn't understand it.

Jin'er couldn't ask Jing Yan, for fear that Jing Yan would hurt Jing Yan's heart if Jing Yan knew that she was thinking about her biological mother, and let her love her down; she didn't dare to ask Yu Wenrui, because she was afraid of Yu Wenrui...

Perhaps, when I grow up, I will have the opportunity to find out these things?

Jin'er thought about it, and couldn't help lowering her head slightly, looking at her body——

Under the coarse cloth jacket, there are small, invisible undulations.

Jin'er carefully opened the neckline of the jacket again, and looked at her body under the brighter and brighter light.Two small protrusions on the chest showed her female identity.

She has always known that she is a woman, different from the boys in the mountains who are playing around and not resting for a moment; moreover, she must always live as a boy, because this is what Yu Wenrui has asked her to do since she can remember. .As for the reason, Jin'er has no way of knowing.

Anyway, there were too many unclear things about her, and this one was not bad.

Thinking of this, Jin'er suddenly felt a sense of self-pity.

Yu Wenrui was kind to her in nurturing and treating her. She asked her to conceal her gender, so she could only do so; the masked senior also saved her life, and taught her the mental skills of housekeeping, and , He asked her not to mention herself to the outside world, let alone let others know that she had learned the methods he taught, and she could only do so.

She concealed the matter of Wanyue Villa and her real gender from the masked senior, and concealed the matter of the masked senior from Yu Wenrui and Jing Yan... She did keep her promise to each of them, but she was only 11 years old after all.Even if her determination is more tenacious than her peers, she is still only a half-grown child, and these secrets have already weighed her down so much that she is almost out of breath.

Outside the window, the early birds were chirping.

Birds have wings and can fly freely in the sky.Jin'er also wants to grow up quickly, and be able to venture into the world by herself as soon as possible. Isn't that kind of life much happier than having to hide it now?

However, wandering the rivers and lakes is too far away from her life at this moment.Right now, the most realistic thing is the maid's respectful voice outside the door: "Young master, have you got up yet?"

Jin'er thought to herself, "It's so powerful, even the seemingly ordinary maid's hearing is so sharp, I don't know what her cultivation is!"

How did she know that the servants serving in Wanyue Villa were all brought from the palace back then, or were brought by the current emperor Yu Wentang to honor Jing Yan and Yu Wenrui.How could it be possible for someone who has been serving in the forbidden zone for a long time not to be able to see and hear?

"Get up!" Jin'er agreed in the inner room, and went to reach for the clean clothes that Jing Yan prepared for her last night.

Only the maid said outside: "Young master, do you need a servant to help you change your clothes?"

Jin'er was embarrassed when she heard the words.She can't enjoy the tune of "serving and changing clothes"!

At the thought of being served, the maid's hands fluttered and danced on her body, and her pretty little face was instantly flushed, and she hurriedly said: "No need! I... I can do it myself!"

I don't know how the maid will feel when she hears her distressed voice.

After a pause, the voice rang again: "Young master, the owner ordered that after you finish dressing, go to the martial arts field to find her!"

Jin'er just sighed, "The material of this jacket is so slippery" and "Mother fits my size really well", when she heard the maid's voice, her movements froze, and her little face that had just faded from the blush suddenly changed. so pale——

Martial arts arena?

The owner wants to test his own martial arts, right?

Can I not go?

Jin'er growled inwardly.She...she's afraid...
