"Ah, I finally got you."
The boy looked at the trembling black cat nestled in his arms. He breathed a sigh of relief. The frown that had just been tightened also stretched out, but the boy had only one left arm, and he hugged the black cat again. Only two feet barely supported on the rock out of the rockery, and the whole person stuck to the rock wall to stabilize his body.
"Hei Qiao'er climbed onto my back, and I will take you down."
Ah Mao's whole body was tensed, and he lowered his eyes to look at the black cat in his arms. The black, fluffy little thing seemed to understand, stretched out his paws, crawled back along Ah Mao's shoulders, and waited for it to be two. When he put his paws around Ah Mao's neck, he was already sweating all over when he pressed his body against the boy's back.
"Meow."
Hei Qiao'er yelled and signaled that Ah Mao could leave, and buried her head behind the boy, not daring to look underground.
"Hei Qiao'er, you must not move!"
After Amao finished speaking, he bit his teeth and grabbed a cluster of vines drilled out of the rockery with his left hand. Then the center of gravity of the whole body moved to his left arm, his right foot was loosened, and he stepped down one step. Stepping down with the left foot, just these few simple movements made Amao's sweat trickle down like running water, and cold sweat came out of the palm of his hand, making the left hand holding the vine become a little bit. Slippery.
The boy turned his neck and looked down. The trail paved with soft stones is still far away, and the green grass and leaves beside the ground are also very vague. The sky is completely dark all around, and it is all gray, with only the rockery. The smooth and clean stone walls with strange shapes and protruding shapes also reflected a miserable white light, and the blowing wind was also cold, causing Ah Mao to shiver.
The boy was in a dilemma. He looked up. There was no place to step on. When he looked down, the light was too dim and there was no place for his feet. At this time, the left hand grasping the vine became more and more sore, and his feet were stepping on. On the stone wall, the arch of the foot was numb, as if blood was flowing backwards. Without consciousness, I felt that I was floating on the cloud and fell into the mud.
"Hei Qiao'er, I can't hold on anymore. If I fall down for a while, you will jump away from me and you won't get hurt."
Ah Mao didn't know what would happen if he fell from such a high place, did he break his arms and legs? Or is it dead if it touches the head
The boy's little heart asked many questions, and his hands and feet were broken. He was not afraid at all. He hadn't had a right hand for a long time, so what if one less one? But if he dies, whoever repays her mother’s hatred, and the younger uncle and the curling sister, will not be able to repay the gratitude.
After thinking about it so much, he was not at all anxious. Instead, he cared about others. The boy’s left hand was completely frozen at this time, the palm of his hand was sweating more and more, and his fingers were unable to exert strength, and he was about to slip. Come down.
With a "pop", the vines broke directly, and Amao fell down facing the sky. When he fell down, Amao saw an extremely shining star in the southeast corner of the dark sky. , The rays of light are numerous, as bright as the sun.
It’s just that when the boy thought he was about to fall to the ground, he seemed to be caught by a pair of hands. It was soft and soft, like the arms of a mother. Amao suddenly felt that he must be in a dream, and when he was young. Lying in her mother's arms to sleep, it was warm and comfortable.
"Amao, is there anything wrong?"
The woman’s coquettish voice rang beside Ah Mao’s ears, and the boy came back to his senses when he stepped on the solid ground again, and looked up.
In the cold light streaming down from the full moon, only the eyes of the woman in front of him could be seen clearly, and they flashed with concern. The boy froze for a long time without responding.
"Amao?"
Seeing that the boy did not reply, the woman was worried whether the boy was frightened, and called out again.
"Sister Youlan!"
A Mao's eyes struck, and suddenly he yelled out, but this elder sister Youlan obviously made the woman tremble, and it took a long time to hear the woman reply.
"Amao, I am not Youlan, I am Bone Ji, the concubine your dad just brought in."
When Gu Ji said this, her voice had returned to its usual stability, without a trace of emotion.
"But you look like sister Youlan!"
Ah Mao's excited eyes suddenly darkened, and then he lowered his head and muttered quietly.
"I thought Sister Youlan was not dead, she came back to look for me, I miss Sister Youlan so much."
"Amao, I'll take you back."
Bone Ji lowered her head, looked at Amao with compassionate eyes, stretched out her hand to touch the boy's head, and pulled him to the outside.
Ah Mao was a little bit lost for no reason, and couldn't be interested. The little black cat was still lying behind him, his tail wagging, and Gu Ji sent him to the guard who was in a hurry, and said,
"Take him back to Li Shuye!"
So he turned and left, and the little Amao and the black cat were taken back to the banquet in the inner hall by the guards.
But Gu Ji sent Amao away and came to the small storeroom, and ordered the gatekeeper to open the door and go in to find a gift from today's guests.
The storeroom was supposed to be opened today to organize the congratulatory gifts from the guests, but Gu Ji told Li County magistrate a few days ago that the day she was welcomed into the mansion, the whole mansion can have dinner. After taking a break, Bone Ji’s move made the maids and the women very happy, and they respected the new lady in their hearts.
So when the gatekeeper's grandmother was called by Bone Ji, she didn't see the slightest impatience, she respectfully followed the woman with a lamp on her face.
Bone Fairy walked ahead, the light was not lit in the warehouse, only the dark orange light from the lamp in the grandmother's hand was on the messy gift boxes.
"No one has come to tidy up the warehouse today, so it's a bit messy. What can I look for, and the old servant will find it for you?"
"No, I called you when you were resting. I was just looking for a gift from a friend. The hooded noodles fit my clothes."
Bone Ji looked around the warehouse, her eyes deep,
"Grandma, give me the light. You go back first. I will leave when I find it. I will remember to lock the door."
Gu Ji took out a purse from her sleeve and handed it to her grandmother. After receiving the lamp in her hand, she turned around and looked for something carefully.
"Thank you Bone Ji Empress, the old servant left first."
Feeling the heavy weight of her palms, the grandmother's face was happy, her face shrank into a walnut in the dark, and she walked away quickly.
After the grandson left, Gu Ji held up the lamp and looked at the things in the storeroom. After finding the brocade box that Qi Ruan said, she returned to the Nuanxiang Pavilion prepared for her by the magistrate of Li County.
Nuanxiang Pavilion is the best place to live in the county magistrate’s mansion. To the south is a small lake. In summer, there is a lot of lotus blossoms and the koi swims happily. To the north is a garden full of exotic flowers and plants. It was colorful and colorful. In addition to the fact that Gu Ji was coming to live, the magistrate Li ordered the housekeeper to re-decorate the Nuanxiang Pavilion. Flower windows, beauty couches, colorful glass vases, and eight-faced screens embroidered with clouds and white flowers. It was delivered piece by piece, and even the dressing table in the boudoir was carved out of a whole hundred-year-old peach tree.
At this time, Gu Ji had just come out from behind the screen and changed her clothes, but she saw the woman raising her eyebrows and sitting down on the peach-wood carved stool in front of the dressing table, opening her lips to speak.
"Jiao'er, come out, when do you want to hide?"
As soon as Bone Ji's voice fell, a little girl poked her head out, and the figure just fell into the bronze mirror of the dressing table. The woman turned her back, but from the mirror she saw the little girl grinning at her.
"Jiao'er always can't hide from Sister Gu Ji's eyes."
"Okay, don't tease me, why are you here?"
The corners of Gu Ji’s mouth were raised, obviously in a happy mood. When she was talking, she opened the brocade box on the table and saw a complete set of head and face lying quietly in it, three hair combs of different sizes, a pair of hairpins, and a pair of steps. Shake, there are two forehead ornaments, both of them are all decorated with purple east beads. They are especially elegant and stunning. Those east beads are a few times larger than the average, and they are extremely beautiful. Jiao'er leaned forward, eyes Look at this set of heads.
"Sister Gu Ji, this set of heads is so beautiful, you said the craftsmanship of the master craftsmen in this human world is really good, every piece of jewelry is so beautiful."
Gu Ji took out the forehead ornaments from the set of heads. The tender green fingers match the lavender Dongzhu. The light in Nuanxiangge is a bit dim, but it seems that Dongzhu is emitting a faint soft light. It looks like this, It's like falling into the deep sea, and it's so wonderful that it can suck people in.
The woman just stared at those Dongzhu, and she didn't know what she was thinking. The incense in the small pavilion was lit up early and lit up like a line of blue smoke. The deeper and the higher, it spread into the air, and the window was still open. Then, some refreshing wind came in, and the two people in front of the dressing table woke up.
"Swimmingly said that purple lining me, but I don't think so,"
The woman brought the forehead ornament in her hand to her head, then took a step from it and shook her way, facing the bronze mirror.
"Jiao'er, bring this step to me."
The woman lowered her head slightly and waited for the little girl behind to take the step.
"Sister Gu Ji, what color do you prefer?"
The little girl asked playfully,
"me,"
The woman thought for a while,
"Love more red, the same bright red as blood."
"Oh, but Jiaoer doesn't often wear red ones for her sister, but those are pink, with more green ones."
Jiao'er carefully helped Gu Ji put on Step Shake, and at the same time said, she also trimmed her temples for the woman, and then looked up in the mirror.
"Sister Gu Ji, all right."
"Ok."
Gu Ji raised her eyes to look at the woman in the mirror. The face under heavy makeup looked more beautiful and strange, and the purple Dongzhu's head and face were used as a lining, which made it more attractive. Such a face, with a perfect style, does not have that man. What can be resisted is that the woman doesn't think there is anything to be amazing. What will this face look like a few years ago
Gu Ji remembered her teenage affairs. At that time, she was still in her boudoir, and there was a beautiful swing outside her room. After finishing her work, she sat there, shaking, and even took off her embroidered shoes. , The red pomegranate skirt is like a flower, and as the swing goes up and down, it floats slightly like soft petals. I don’t know how to do it. I have a face, and my ears are sweaty, and my ears also show pink. Come.
"Sister Gu Ji, do you want to wear the others?"
Jiao'er asked, letting Gu Ji come back to her senses again.
"Oh, no, let's do it, keep it simple."
Gu Ji stood up, walked to the window, closed the window, put out the cigarette, and walked out the door.
"Jiao'er, go back to Longmen first, I will be back tonight."
"okay."
The little girl answered, and saw the enchanting back of the woman walking away from the door. From a distance, she only saw a beautiful skirt floating in the wind.
