Hibiscus Flower West Moon Splendid

Chapter 3 Who is the master of Ziyuanchun

Along the way to the north, the weather is getting colder and more and more people have fallen into Jinxiu Tianya and I, from the original eight to twelve. The food given by the black-hearted human traffickers is pitiful, and the space for activities is also small .In order to save money, they don't stay in the shop as long as they can, and they only eat one meal a day, and I give half of the food to Jinxiu, so I choose to sleep most of the time on the way to recharge my batteries.Even so, I still observe the situation, there are twelve children with me, only five girls, except for Jinxiu, Biying, barely including me, all of them are mediocre.

And those boys all set their eyes on Jinxiu, my family, just like the "Jinxiu phenomenon" in Huajia Village.The so-called relying on parents at home and relying on friends when going out, I thought about how to make a few friends among these people, and if I sold it to a place, I would have someone to take care of me, so I encouraged Jinxiu to smile as friendly as possible, and add my slick tongue Like a spring, there was laughter in the originally dull carriage.

Among the group of boys, the one who always cries is called Qi Fang.Song Minglei, who looks quite handsome and looks like a bright star, has the Confucian air of my talented father, and his clothes are also the cleanest among all of us.

What is more interesting is that Shandong kid with a dark face and thunderous voice, who is older than us and the tallest. He has to bend over to stand up in the carriage. The most charming queen has the same name - Feiyan.Wow, his name is Yu Feiyan!

At that time, I was a little dumbfounded.

Jinxiu pushed me just in time, Zitong rarely gave me a blank look, huh?Could it be that she likes this kind of man?

He scratched his head generously, and said with a chuckle: "The day before my mother gave birth to me, she dreamed of a group of swallows flying around, so she named me this."

Seeing that he is so open-minded, I felt embarrassed and told him the story of Zhao Feiyan in a compensatory manner, and said that he would become rich and powerful in the future.He was stunned for a while, Xiao Hei blushed, really like my lovely nephew in the previous life.If it's not that I'm too young now, and it seems that Jinxiu has a good impression of him, and I'm afraid of ruining the sisterhood, I really want to pinch his little face.

Closer to home, anyway, the atmosphere in the carriage became lively all of a sudden, those gazes that were originally staring at Jinxiu all turned to me, and even Biying, who was in a poor family, moved her eyes from her forehead back to her eye sockets, and I strike up a conversation.But when she knew that we came from a small mountain village, instead of being from a scholarly family like her, her eyes immediately grew back on her forehead.In the whole carriage, she only talked to Song Minglei.snort!Little girl film.

That Song Minglei always answers every question, and he doesn't answer if he doesn't ask. He cherishes words like gold and is quite restrained.

In short, Qi Fang, Yu Feiyan, and our two sisters are also regarded as Fa Xiao along the way.The ox cart bumped to Jiangling Mansion, Qi Fang cried and was bought by a scholar surnamed Zhang to be a school boy. When he arrived in Xiangzhou, two girls went to Yang Yuanwai Mansion to be actresses. It was puzzling that the other four boys changed hands here. Gave it to another male trafficker.

When Yu Feiyan was urinating at night, she heard Mrs. Chen and the coachman excitedly say that the four boys had been booked by the prefect of Tongzhou. There are many corpses.Aunt Chen said that if there is an exit, there must be an entry. This must be a good business, and next time I will bring in a few more boys.

The children were terrified when they heard about dead people. After a while of silence, Yu Feiyan asked me shamelessly, "What is child molestation?" I looked at Biying and Song Minglei, and I didn't expect them to look at me with great interest. , and I can only laugh again and again.

For the sake of the healthy growth of the children, I changed the subject and advocated that we get married to Jinlan. Even if we can't sell it in one place, if there is fate in the future, we can still have a good time when we meet again.The ancients were really keen on this matter of worshiping. To my surprise, even that Biying joined us, so we secretly got out of the bullock cart, lined up in the field under the moonlight, and became sworn brothers to the moon.

"I'm Yu Feiyan, 13 years old."

"I'm Song Minglei, 12 years old."

"I'm Yao Biying, ten years old."

"I'm Hua Mujin, eight years old."

"I am Hua Jinxiu, eight years old."

"According to the order of seniority, make an oath to the moon and form a bond with Jinlan. From then on, we will share honor and disgrace, and share wealth and honor. We don't want to be born in the same year, the same month, and the same day, but we want to die in the same year, the same month, and the same day..."

I suddenly thought of Rhubarb's five newborn puppies, desperately huddled together for warmth in order to survive.

We children are all uneasy about our wandering fate. Although we come from different places and have different backgrounds, our common encounters make us somewhat sympathetic to each other.

After the establishment of Yedi Xiaowuyi, a kind of inexplicable joy filled the heart, and the lonely goose who was left behind seemed to have found the geese again and was no longer alone.The midnight in the deep winter is so cold, but our hearts are so warm, so we all simply smiled, and Jinxiu still held my arm, but she smiled very happily.

However, no one knew, even Song Minglei, who was later famous for his ingenious calculations, did not predict that the five of us would become earth-shaking figures of that era in the moonlight at that time.

So along the way we began to address each other as brothers and sisters, and Aunt Chen inevitably stared at us for a while.

One day, in the thin morning light, we came to a plain.The bullock cart was parked by the river.I was shivering from the cold and was washing my face with water. When I looked up, I saw Mrs. Chen looking at me carefully and silently. I was so shocked that I almost fell into the river.

She squatted down and looked at me and said: "I have traveled all my life, and I have never seen a girl like you. You are definitely not an ordinary person."

I laughed dryly, "Aunt Chen, you are well-informed and knowledgeable, I'm no ordinary person."

She rolled her eyes, gave me a wink, and said: "It's a pity, you follow your fairy-like sister, you will have no good fruit in this life."

What does she mean!She wouldn't really want to sell Jinxiu and me to a brothel, would she?I was anxious, "You don't mean to sell Jinxiu and me to some kind of worst place?"

She laughed, and the big dick trembled, "Don't worry! I, Chen Yujiao, am not a good person, but I never push girls into brothels. Besides, the five of you are exactly what General Xibeiyuan wanted. People, how dare I sell you casually?"

General Northwest?I was very puzzled, and was about to ask again, when she twisted her waist and went to find her friend who drove the car.

After more than a month, the willow trees along the way began to sprout green shoots, the frozen river gradually broke through and melted, and the ox cart entered a magnificent city.We looked out of the window and saw that the bustling streets and densely populated Fu were different from other places. We finally arrived at the ancient city of Xi'an on this day.

After leaving the West Market, along the Panshan Road, you will reach a green mountain peak. In the open place, there are two mighty big stone lions squatting.As far as the eye can see, there are golden glazed tiles, and the buildings are undulating and magnificent.

A tall white marble archway stands in front of you, with nine dragons on the stone pillars on both sides, and four large characters are engraved on the archway: Ziqi Mountain Villa.

I took a closer look at the inscription, and couldn't help but gasp, it was actually the imperial pen of the former emperor of this dynasty.Look at a pair of couplets engraved on the gateposts on both sides: the glory of the meritorious deeds shines on the sun and the moon, and the success and fame continue to reach the children and grandchildren.It is also a royal pen.No wonder Mrs. Chen wants to leave us, the so-called best stuff, to the family of General Northwest Yuan.

Ziqi, Ziqi, is everything predestined, as if it was specially made for Zifu, Jinxiu's previous life.

We entered from the west corner gate, and Mrs. Chen held her breath, walked in front respectfully, turned a few turns, and stopped in front of a hanging flower gate.The two women came out with cold faces, and Mrs. Chen laughed and whispered softly before entering the Chuhuamen.On both sides are chaoshou verandahs, and in the middle is the hallway. On the ground is a large screen with red sandalwood and Nanzhao stone.

The two women led the way silently in front, and when they turned around the screen, there were three small halls, and behind the halls was the main courtyard.There are six upper rooms on the front, carved beams and painted buildings, and corridors and rooms on both sides of the mountain, with parrots, thrushes, starlings and other birds hanging on them.

A courtyard, with the three characters "Rongbaotang" written on the door plaque.A few girls in red and green stood in an orderly manner on both sides of the door, bowing their heads respectfully waiting for orders. When they saw us coming, a person had already opened the curtain and answered: "Mrs. Chen, Mrs. Chen from Jianzhou is leading the new The person who came has arrived."

Hearing this, my heart was completely relieved, this Mrs. Chen really didn't sell us to a brothel.

When I got to the house, the gorgeous and luxurious furnishings made my eyes shine.The fragrance of lilies is lingering, and an exquisite French chime clock comes into view. The spotless glazed surface is quietly reflecting the figures of five children kneeling on the ground, each skinnier than the other, and dressed in rags.The golden pendulum clock was ticking, and my companions, except for Song Minglei, almost stared straight at it.Across the slightly swaying glazed bead curtain, a woman in a Chinese dress sat on the kang in the middle, wearing a bun of gold silk and eight treasures, wearing a bead hairpin hanging from the five phoenixes of the rising sun, and wearing gold and a hundred butterflies wearing bright red satin. , beautiful appearance, not angry but mighty.Standing beside him was a young man in bright blue light fur, slightly bent over, combing a scholarly bun in a spotless way, with a welcoming hairpin on it.

I vaguely heard the young man replying to the woman: "...heaps of python embroidery in various colors, carved silk and ink, and silk and silk of various colors, eighty curtains of various sizes, two hundred curtains of gold silk rattan and red lacquer bamboo, colorful Two hundred hanging flower curtains, ten pieces of "Fugui Changchun" palace satin, ten pieces of "Fushouchangchang" palace silk, "Zijin" pen ingots, ten Ruyi ingots, two pairs of golden plum flower hairpins, two pairs of Jinxi lotus hairpins, Six handles of golden brocade pine and stone wishful thinking, a plate of Ganan incense beads, four white marble small fan pendants of various colors, all the imperial gifts from the palace have been put away. This morning the general sent a letter saying that he and the young master had died together. I have arrived in Beijing safely, Madam, please rest assured."

The lady took a sip of her tea and said "hmm".

"Chuyun, who was serving the second young lady, had an emergency last month and passed away. Her old lady said that she will come tomorrow to take away the ashes."

"Yan Sheng, remember to reward me with a few taels of silver, poor kid, he grew up with Feiyan."

"Yes, my wife is really compassionate. Also, Mr. Bai wants to move to Xifengyuan, saying that Ziyuan is too noisy."

The lady hesitated for a while, "Then Xifengyuan is so deserted, and his legs and feet are not convenient. There are only two people from Mr. Han and Xie San's family in front of him. How can this be good? The general is fine. Let outsiders know, but I think it's okay. I, the stepmother, pushed him away."

"I thought so too, but Mr. Han came here to mention it himself. He said that the hot springs in Xifengyuan are good for Mr. Bai's legs and feet. Living in Ziyuan, running around in Xifengyuan all day is exhausting."

"That's all, let him go, but tell the general tomorrow."

"Madam is right, and Fourth Master Jue said that if Madam does not let him go to the Western Regions, he will..."

"Come on, it's because of the ridiculous thing about going to the Western Regions again? Tell him not to bother me, he's really like his foxy mother, thinking about running away all day long."

I can roughly hear the situation of this family. This is the family of Jiangmen. There are three sons and one daughter. The eldest son went to the capital with his father. Young people are very keen on self-driving tours in Xinjiang.

Just when we were about to kneel until our legs went numb, the crystal beaded curtain was carefully pulled up by two little girls, and there was a slight knocking sound.

"I've found all the five children Madam wants for you. You can take a look." Aunt Chen said flatteringly, with a flattering expression on her face.

Mrs. Yuan swept her phoenix eyes across our faces and stopped on Jinxiu's body, "The one in the middle, raise your head."

Jinxiu trembled and raised her head, only to hear a bang, someone dropped a cup, and Mrs. Yuan gasped, "Chen Yujiao, let's see who you found! The purple-eyed evildoer you also Dare to send it to the government? Hurry up and throw it out!"

Jinxiu grew up in Huajia Village, even her stepmother had never insulted her like this.I raised my head abruptly, only to see tears in her eyes, looking at me bewilderedly.The mother-in-law at the side was about to take her out with a cold face. My heart tightened, and as soon as I gritted my teeth, I stepped forward and hugged her tightly, and said loudly: "Wait a minute, please take a good look at my Jinxiu family. She is not a monster." , but the nobleman of Ziyuan."

Everyone was stunned, even the lady was stunned, she waved her hand, and the two women left.She looked down at me, "What's your name?"

I straightened my clothes, "My name is Hua Mujin, and this is my younger sister, Hua Jinxiu. My sister and I are from Jianzhou."

Suspicion flashed in Madam's eyes, "Then tell me, why is your sister a nobleman in Ziyuan?"

I calmed down secretly, and replied calmly: "Jinxiu and I came all the way from Jianzhou in the east. This is the first of all; look at the beauty mole on the center of her brow, it is the mole of Erlong Xizhu, rich and powerful, this is the second; my family's name Jinxiu is also taken from the flower group Jinxiu, which means For the Yuan Mansion will be extremely prosperous, this is the third; the combination of the three, Mu Jin deduces, it must be General Yuan who has devoted himself to the country, Mrs. Yuan is virtuous and thrifty, moved God, God sent Jinxiu to Ziqi Villa to imply Jirui It is a sign that the original family will surely shine on the sun and the moon within ten years, which is beyond words."

After I finished speaking, I pulled Jinxiu respectfully and fell on the ground.In the silence, sweat rolled down my brow.After a while, I only heard Mrs. Yuan smile lightly, and my heart tightened.

"Keep your heads up, both of you."

Jinxiu and I raised our heads again, and I saw Mrs. Nayuan's eyes were unpredictable, "Mujinhua's hibiscus?"

I froze for a moment before I woke up. She was asking my name, "Yes, ma'am."

"Yan Sheng, send Hua Jinxiu with purple eyes and the girl next to her to Second Miss, and ask her to decide which one to make up for Chuyun's vacancy. The two boys will serve as Ziyuan's soldiers. This girl named Mujin, go first. The utility room."

No matter what, Jinxiu and I can settle down here together, it's better than two sisters, separated from each other, leaning on the door and laughing.I breathed a sigh of relief, smiled slightly at Jinxiu, and compared my secret mark, V-shaped victory finger, with my hand, which meant that I would find a way to meet her.

My sworn brothers also seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.My black elder brother Yu Feiyan looked at me with admiration, but many years later, he told me that he didn't understand what I was saying at that time.

I stepped over the high threshold, and even through the curtain, I felt a cold and sharp gaze staring at me from behind, which made me feel chills all over.I turned my head and saw a boy in white clothes sitting in a wheelchair. Behind the boy was a tall figure in green clothes. Unfortunately, through the heavy curtains, I couldn't see their appearance clearly.It wasn't until we were far away that I heard the woman who took me out say: "Isn't that Mr. Bai? It's rare for him to come to his wife's room to say hello."
