After tossing all day, anxious and angry, Zhang Pei was also tired. She had no extra energy to pay attention to the changes in her daughter. She only thought about her husband's affairs. She didn't think her daughter had any good ideas, so she said, " When the police came, I put the sun in your bedroom, she hasn't eaten all day, you go back to the room to feed her first."
Sunshine is Liu Man's little female cat. It is a golden gradient. The golden color gradually transitions from the back to the belly, like the sun shining down. It is very beautiful. It was named "Sunlight" by Liu Man. Sunlight is only five months old. Liu Man I begged my father to buy it from the cattery when it was only two months old.
In the beginning, Liu Man was very concerned about Sunlight. She shoveled the excrement and fed it herself, and was reluctant to let go of the kitten she loved. But her interest has always been only three minutes, and there are too many new things. Soon she became interested in being a cat nanny. I was bored with this matter and left the daylight to my mother's care.
The master bedroom in the house belongs to Liu Man, and she has always been the apple of her eye in the past. Liu Man opened the bedroom, and the first thing he saw was a golden kitten standing behind the door, with big green eyes staring at her timidly. He didn't know how long he had been standing there.
Liu Man doesn't know what is a golden gradient and what is a British shorthair cat, these terms are too unfamiliar. She only remembered that her neighbor Yumeiren in the Lenggong used to have a raccoon cat with the same round eyes, like glass beads, smart and elf.
Because the two yards are next to each other, Yumeiren's raccoon cat always comes to her yard, sometimes into her bedroom, gets into her bed, next to her, and sleeps with her, letting those Cold days are warmed up.
But one day, the raccoon cat was poisoned to death.
Yumei was crying like a human, and shouted, "Don't leave me any way to survive."
Not long after, the beauty faded away.
"Meow," Sunshine called out in a very small voice, interrupting Liu Man's memory.
Liu Man squatted down and stretched out a hand. The cat took a small step back, and couldn't help leaning over again, leaning its little furry head against the center of her palm, and rubbing it against her. It circled her twice again, its tail was wagging non-stop, it was so cute.
Liu Man took out the cat food from the chest of drawers, and smelling the smell of cat food, Sunlight's eyes became brighter, and he kept meowing, walking towards his own cat bowl while walking, looking back at Liu Man Are you following up
Really hungry.
Filled with cat food, Sunlight buried his head in it, making a crisp chewing sound.
Seeing her eating with such a good appetite, Liu Man couldn't help softening her heart.
Next to the chest of drawers is a black upright piano, which is the most valuable piece of furniture in the house and has accompanied Liu Man for the past fifteen years. At first, Zhang Pei forced her daughter to learn piano as a hobby, but later it became a skill for her to study in college.
Liu Man opened the piano stand, his slender and fair fingers lightly slid across the keys, and involuntarily struck two light keys. This is the body's instinctive memory. Liu Man feels novelty and unfamiliarity with this western instrument.
The only musical instrument Liu Man knows is Guqin, which was taught by Mrs. Xu, another neighbor of hers.
Liu Man's biological mother died of dystocia when giving birth to her. After the emperor learned of her mother's death and her birth, he ordered the palace staff to throw her mother's body out of the palace and gave her a random name 'Man' '.
Liu Man was brought up by her biological mother's younger sister. One is a singer and the other is a dancer. They were favored by the emperor because of their amazing performances, and they were framed by jealousy because of their excessive favor. Leng Gong. They have no names, no titles, and the court ladies call them Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Zhao.
In the cold palace, there were so many people coming and going, except Mrs. Zhao who treated her like a mother, only Madam Xu had really accompanied Liu Man.
Mrs. Xu is different from them. She comes from a very noble family. She was demoted to the cold palace because her father Xu Taiwei was involved in corruption and perverting the law. Liu Man admired Mrs. Xu very much, and she was taught by Mrs. Xu to play the guqin.
Also because of Mrs. Xu's protection, she and Xiao Zhao's life in the cold palace was not so sad, but she hated that the good man didn't live long, and the two closest to her left her one after another.
Liu Man stared intently at the family portrait on the piano. In the photo, both Liu Chengyu and Zhang Pei focused on the girl who was smiling wantonly in the middle.
Sunlight seemed to feel the sadness of his master, stopped eating, ran over, and gently bit her trousers.
Liu Man sighed, she leaned over to pick up the cat, and said softly, "Do you know that your master is no longer here?"
She sat down in front of the dresser with the cat in her arms, and for the first time took a good look at the body that gave her a new life, which was completely different from the previous one. In the past, she had Danfeng eyes, but now she has big and deep double eyelids; in the past, she had a delicate little nose, but now she has a straight nose bridge; in the past, she had a small cherry mouth, but now she is plump Heart shaped lips.
Such a bright and flamboyant girl is more like a princess than her.
Liu Man's dressing table is full of cosmetics and skin care products, and the shelves are full of big-name perfumes, some of which have not even been opened. She also has a special cloakroom, where the clothes and shoes are neatly arranged in different categories. The most enviable thing for young girls is her collection of AJ sneakers, many of which she only wears once.
Liu Man's family is not a rich family, her father is just a salary, but her parents spend all the money on her.
Later, Zhang Pei called an old classmate named Sun, who was a lawyer. He gave Zhang Pei a reassurance.
"Although Chengyu was driving drunk, the other party was in the wrong direction. This is very important, and it will directly lead to the severity of the sentence. Another thing is that the other party's family situation is bad. His parents are not in good health. His wife has no job, and there are three young children in need. Upbringing, the man who was killed was the only source of income for their family, I think you can talk to their family members, you first take the initiative to apologize, lower your posture, and try to use compensation to offset the punishment."
But at this time, they didn't expect that this compensation was not something they could bear.
Dinner was late, Zhang Pei was not in the mood to cook, so he ordered takeaway, which was Liu Man's favorite stewed pork rice.
During the days in the cold palace, Liu Man was always hungry and full. When Mrs. Xu was alive, she could still eat meat. Later, she could only drink vegetable soup and eat rice bran.
This meal, Liu Man was very full and satisfied, she took the initiative to help her mother clean up the table, "Let me do it."
Zhang Pei was taken aback, Liu Man never did housework before.
"You are too tired today, go and rest first."
With that said, Liu Man had already wiped the dining table.
Zhang Pei had mixed feelings in her heart. She thought it was an accident that made her troubled daughter grow up. At the same time, she was also relieved that the child was finally sensible, but the price of making her sensible was too high.
"After tidying up, you can go to sleep too. You have to go to class tomorrow. Don't worry about your father. There is always a way to solve it."
Liu Man nodded.
Unlike Zhang Pei who suffered from insomnia all night, Liu Man slept soundly on her first night in this world. She hasn't slept so well for a long time. Sunlight got into her bed, coiled into the most comfortable shape like Yumeiren's raccoon cat, to keep her warm. In the dream, she was still Liu Man, the princess of the cold palace. The faces of those miserable women passed her eyes one by one, and the maids and servants sarcastically called her Your Highness the Princess. Xiao Zhao, Mrs. Xu, and even Yu Meiren told her that she is an upright princess, and there will be a day when she will come out of the cold palace.
When she opened her eyes again, the morning light had shone through the cracks in the curtains.
