box of hearts

Chapter 28 Suo Nanzhi (9)
A sour liquid rose in Qingtian's stomach, it was jealousy, she was jealous of Zhaohua, but immediately she smiled wryly to herself, a plate of big dishes that had already been mostly eaten, jealous of the dessert that was about to be brought to the table to be slaughtered?What awaits the two is nothing more than the hunger and evil deep in the human viscera, as well as the garbage heap full of animal carcasses.

Looking at the newly decorated Zhaohua, she felt sad, but she only smiled almost lovingly, and raised her hand to caress her rosy fair skin, "Pretty, so beautiful."

Zhao Huaben seemed a little apprehensive, but smiled innocently because of this praise.The second sister Duan was also grinning from ear to ear, and the whole party told Zhao Hua without a break: "Mom has already told you the rules of getting out, and after a while, you should follow the big sister obediently, just look at how the big sister does it." , write it down in your heart and learn, don't talk too much, and ask your sister if you don't understand anything. In case you can't find your sister for a while, ask the old lady to pass on the message, and don't wander around among the crowd, you know? -"

"Mom," Qing Tian twisted his hands into his hair and removed the two hairpins, and his lacquer hair, which was casually coiled, slipped down his back, "you and your sister go outside to talk, and I'm still waiting to comb your hair."

"Oh, look at my memory, quickly ask Li Yishu to come in and comb the girl's hair." The second sister walked out holding Zhaohua, then folded her head and smiled at Qingtian: "Then baby girl, take your time to dress up, don't worry, I will Tell them to prepare the car first."

When I went out, I bumped into Li Yishao head-on. He was holding a hair comb in his young hand. He first called "Duan's mother" and then called "Girl Zhaohua". There was a pair of peach blossom eyes that were not smiling but also smiling on his smart and handsome face .Zhaohua glanced at him, her little face flushed, and she buried her head and went with Second Sister Duan.

Li Yishu put down the door curtain, and walked to the dressing table with a slightly bent waist, "I haven't seen you for a while, but Sister Qing has lost a lot of weight, and she looks like the song in the drum lyrics 'sickness is like Xizi wins three points'" gone."

Mu Yun knew that Qingtian didn't like Li Yishu's slippery manner, so she rolled her thin eyelids sideways, "Yo, I won't see you for a while, but you've learned how to hang your book bag."

"Hehe, sister Qing, do you want to have a bone loosening massage before combing your hair?"

"You have such a beautiful idea. Go, don't touch the girl's shoulder, and comb your hair quickly. If there is no one, ask Miss Zhaohua to wait."

Li Yishu responded with a smile and opened the hair comb box, and put out the big combs, combs, grate pans, and picking brooms one by one... "By the way, this new little flower-seeker is really tender!" However, He immediately felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly said: "That's why I combed the double-snail bun with her, which shows her purity and beauty. Sister Qing is different, as an oiran lady, she should be extravagant." Win. This outfit is very appropriate, luxurious and eye-catching, but it is Fu Tian'er right now, if the hair is combed too complicated, it may make people look dry. Since you are out with the little shepherd Zhaohua, you might as well comb it A more refreshing hair bun, only a few more expensive pieces are used to make it look expensive but not complicated, colorful but not flirtatious, I wonder what Miss Qing thinks?"

"Up to you." Qingtian replied wearily, then took a piano score lying on the side of the dressing table, and looked down.

The sweet scent of sweet-scented osmanthus oil soon diffused in the house, and Li Yi combed quickly like the wind, and the bottom of the comb was full of flowers.The maidservants wiping the tables and chairs did not make a sound, each doing their own work.Only the white cat was restless, jumping from the footstool to the high table for a while, jumping from the high table to the window sill for a while, pacing up and down on the ground for a few times, with a sound of "swish", only a white tail flickered, and it had already dodged into the cat. inside.At the same moment, someone from the outside came in, it was the little girl Gui Zhen who was hiding there holding hands, "Sister Mu Yun, Sister Mu Yun——"

Mu Yun had just taken out a large mother-of-pearl and red sandalwood jewelry box from Qingtian, and was opening the small brocade lattices inside one by one, without bothering to lift her head, "What are you doing?"

"Xiao Zhao is looking for you below."

I don't know whether the lattice that Mu Yun uncovered contained rubies or onyx, but the reflection reflected on her face, it was so red.She spat harshly, "Gui Zhen, you little hoof, you came from a funeral, what's the big deal, you're in such a hurry to report it? Didn't you see that I'm going to fight? Go down!"

If you have regrets, you are really happy.Guizhen could hear it but didn't dare to reply, but Qingtian heard the music and raised his eyes from the music score, "Xiao Zhao is looking for you, you go and have a look, I have a while, you just go .”

With joy all over her body, Mu Yun went.She went for a long time, but brought back a look of bad luck, as if she had hit a ghost.Qing Tian looked at it strangely, met Mu Yun's gaze in the mirror, suddenly her heart skipped a beat, and she understood.

Li Yishu's voice behind him seemed to come up from the bottom of the water wave after wave, distant and distorted: "Okay, Sister Qing, take a look."

Qingtian withdrew his eyes in a daze, looking at his own reflection.Li Yishu hung emerald and gold necklace earrings on both ears for her, and a watery and green emerald bead crown was fastened in front of her bun. Lily bun.

Lily, what a flower.A happy marriage for a hundred years.

However, this face is clearly the face of an abandoned woman, full of resentment and withering.Qingtian touched a white jade box on the dressing table, dug out some gouache from the box, and slowly rubbed it on his palm.

"Everyone go down. Mu Yun, ask him to go upstairs in half a quarter of an hour."

8.
This half a quarter of an hour was the most meticulous half a quarter of an hour in Qingtian's life.

She puts on powder, sweeps eyebrows, and sips rouge; she draws carefully and divides the painting.When everything was done, she sat in front of the mirror and examined her appearance, as if examining the remains of a deceased person.Beauty is worthy of the most beautiful moment in life, and worthy of the grandest final farewell.She stood up slowly and turned around.

In front of the door, Qiao Yunze, who was dressed in jade-colored clothes and looked like a good jade, appeared.

Twilight, who had been crouching in the corner of the room, suddenly poked the needles of light, so that Qingtian couldn't see anything clearly. She could only clearly feel her own arms desperately trying to break free from her body, and rushed towards the figure, hugging her. He, touching him, or tearing him to shreds madly; and her lips, her lips yearn to kiss him, to kiss every inch of him, to bite off every piece of his flesh alive.But her willpower did not allow her arms, her lips, or any part of her body to move or make a sound in front of him.

All the way to the sky, only two leaves of pine-green organdy fluttered on the window, as if the wheat field was blown down by the wind.A large number of youthful Chinese years, wave after wave.After a long and long silence—

"You know, you know everything. Then, let me give you an explanation." Qiao Yunze's brows gradually darkened, and he turned his eyes away an inch, looking into the void.

"That night I proposed to you, and you said that after three years, the gods and couples want me to marry another one. If the daughter of a wealthy family does not allow you a place, you will come out of the Taoist school, show off your flag, and be another fish mystery. Do you know me? Hearing this, how does it feel in my heart? And this feeling, I have tasted it since the first time I met you. You are not yet 11 years old, and you are hiding behind your mother with your hands behind your back, and my master is not allowed to measure you. The master told me to go up Going forward, my hands are shaking so much that I can’t even hold the measuring stick, and I dare not even touch the hem of your clothes, for fear of staining it. In my eyes, you are a fairy who is worshiped by tens of thousands of people in the temple. Then when I know, My little fairy turned out to be the time when men who are not as good as pigs and dogs can buy them with stinky copper and iron. Every time I hear you call those men one by one as 'Plague', and then cheat from them This is what it feels like to give me the money that came. I receive your porridge, rice, bed, and cover. The food in my mouth and the quilt on my body are all ordinary. So I don’t eat or sleep, just to avoid seeing In my mind, how you behave when you are around other men! I spent all my time against the sage books, hanging, beaming, stabbing, and stocking. Finally, I waited for the day of "Zhuangyuan Kuangguan". On this day, The golden palace passed on the people, the jade hall gave me a banquet, the ministers of the cabinet sent me out of the gate of Taihe, the governor of Shuntian government opened Tiananmen for me, the imperial decree opened the way on East Chang'an Street, the palace flowers, hairpins, hats and colored sheds placed wine, all the officials knelt down to welcome the people to congratulate... ...beautiful like a dream. You know what woke up this beautiful dream?"

He looked at her sadly and coldly, "It's a joke of yours. That day, you told a joke in front of the regent, and at that moment I suddenly understood that everything was just a joke. A son of a pariah, a tailor Apprentices, even if they were red robes and white horses in the Royal Street, they are nothing more than a small sesame seed between the fingers of those real big men, who can be crushed at any time. They can do anything they want to me, including making me ten thousand After years of hard work, once you get back to your original form, including, let me dedicate you with all my heart—don’t say they won’t! The reason why the regent never condemned you and me is not because you are eloquent and sincere , but because of your beauty. Qingtian, as long as you walk over and take a good look at that mirror, you will understand what I mean. No man can take his eyes off you, every time they Seeing you, it seems that arms and tongues have grown out of your eyes, stripping you naked, and licking every inch of you from head to toe! I am too familiar with their eyes. Even if they look away and lower their eyelids, it is just for Cover up the dirty desires in their hearts like a greedy cat covers up its excrement. You and I can't count how many men's beds you have climbed for my fame today. Sooner or later, the Regent will also ask I want you, don't you already belong to him now? Even without him, there will be others, all those men who are nobler and stronger than me will want me to give you as a meat Ganoderma lucidum to them. Among them In the eyes, in the eyes of everyone, you will always be just a lowly plaything, to be played with, transferred, and abandoned."
