Golden branches and jade leaves

Chapter 139 This Flower Is Alone Outside the Chapter ([-])

This flower is lonely ([-])

The wind in winter is always bleak and cold, and the wind at the border is especially so.

Looking from the majestic tower of Juyuguan, the majestic and handsome mountains are hidden behind layers of clouds and mist, and the sky is full of low and thick clouds.Presumably soon, there will be a gust of wind whistling with goose feathers and heavy snow, turning the entire towering border into a world covered in silver makeup.

Whenever the earth is covered with pure white, I will think of her, and the pure white snow in Tianxiang Garden in Taiye Lake.

It has been almost 16 years since I came to this border, and 16 years is like a blink of an eye.

After sixteen springs, summers, autumns and winters, sixteen years of the cycle of the sun and the moon, when I think of her and the snow that we met for the first time, it still clearly seems to happen yesterday.

The snow falling on the blossoming plum branches in the magnificent and luxurious palace garden is actually no different from the snow falling on the simple and majestic city wall here.

The only difference is the person standing next to them.

I still remember the first time I saw her.

It was the winter of the third year of Longhui,

It is on the side of Tianxiang Garden, where layers of flowers and deserts are covered with snow.

At that time, I was a guard in the palace, and she was a favored concubine.

Her plain-clothed figure stood against the wind on the shore, her eyebrows were as light as smoke, and her eyes were as clear as water. She was very close to the ground, but it was like a flower separated by fog, hazy and ethereal.

This is the first time I met her, just the first sight, her image is deeply engraved in my heart.

Maybe, because the first time I saw her, I couldn't help but think of another person.

In memory, that person also had such a hazy and elegant temperament, as long as she stood there, the surrounding air seemed to become hazy.

She is my mother.

As long as I can remember, my mother and I lived in a separate small courtyard.

The courtyard is located in the most northwest corner of the Ni family's mansion. It is not large in scale, but surprisingly exquisite.On the left side of the half-moon-shaped courtyard is a pool. The clear water flows along the rocky rockery and pours down, like flowing beads of jade, making a sound of lingling.The yard is full of lush maple trees, which turn as bright red as blood in autumn.

My mother is a beautiful woman, I can't even describe her beauty, because it is difficult to find the exact words to describe such beauty in my heart.

She likes to sit alone on the railing under the eaves, watching the flowers bloom and fall in the yard, and the clouds roll and clouds relax, with an expression that I will never be able to fathom.

It is said that my mother used to be a laughing and entertaining woman. It is said that she came to my father's door when the grand wedding ceremony that caused a sensation in Qi Jing to marry a noble daughter from a famous family in Da Qi was going on.Although I have always wondered why a woman with a dignified appearance like my mother is a prostitute, but all the people talked about this matter in a disdainful tone, and I did not allow the slightest objection.

The way my mother looked at me was very strange, and it also made me helpless when I was young.Sometimes, she is very gentle, she will gently help me tidy up the clothes I messed up because of being naughty in the yard, full of love and kindness.But sometimes, she would look at me with almost piercing eyes, those eyes were as cold as sharp ice needles, piercing hard into my heart and bones, making me feel cold from the bottom of my heart, making me Panicked and ashamed.Because I don't know what I did wrong to make my mother so angry.

Even sometimes, she would touch my cheek gently and murmur words that I could not understand, and in the next second, she would grab my arm violently and look at me as if Looking at the most hated enemy, he gritted his teeth in hatred, the pain of hatred was unbearable.

But most of the time, she is silent and gentle.

I can only try my best to be by her side and be careful not to upset her.

In my memory, my father never stepped into the gate of the courtyard where we lived.

When I was five years old, a servant in charge walked into our long and silent courtyard and took me out of there and into another world.

Since then, almost every day, just after dawn, someone will come on time, take me to the study, and urge me to study articles and practice martial arts.

Sometimes it is Mr. Lu and others, sometimes it is other people. There are many people around my father. They have various abilities. My father will arrange different masters for me every once in a while.But more often it was my father who personally taught me the art of war and martial arts moves.He knows more than anyone else.

My father's requirements are extremely strict. Every once in a while, he will test my essays and martial arts. Once he is disappointed, he will definitely be punished heavily. eyes.

But just for that one look, when I was a child, I would practice martial arts every day, regardless of the cold and heat, day and night.

My father is more than one child, I also have a younger brother and a younger sister, but I don’t have many chances to see them, or in other words, I have more chances to see my younger sister.

I remember when I was seven years old, I was waiting in the study, waiting for my father to come back from the court to give me instructions on my homework.At this time, I heard a sound of "fluttering and clustering" from the window next to me.

Is it a mouse?I looked over there suspiciously.

After a while, a small figure appeared on the windowsill.She has a pink face and limbs, and is a very young girl.

I stared blankly at the little intruder, who was trying to climb through the window into the study.I don't know how she used something outside to climb up the window which is obviously much taller than her, but obviously, she encountered a problem, there is nothing on this side of the window that she can use .

Supporting the window sash with her short arms, she straddled the window sill, looking left and right, hoping to find a way to the ground.

She looked up and saw me.

"You..." She called out in a childish voice, "Hurry up and help Miss Ben."

I walked over as I said, and picked her up from the window.

If it wasn't for the strength of my arms that have been strengthened by my martial arts practice in the past few years, I really couldn't hold her chubby little body when I was seven years old.

"Who are you? No one is allowed to enter Daddy's study." When her feet were on the ground, she immediately raised her head and asked,

Daddy? !
She is my sister, the three-year-old sister who was born by the aunt?I looked down at her round face, and a warm feeling rose in my heart immediately.

Seeing the look in my eyes, the little girl just curled her lips and said, "For the sake of helping me get down, I won't tell Daddy. Go out quickly, be careful that if the housekeeper sees it, he will severely punish you." Hit your board." As he said, he clapped his little hands and tried to push me towards the door, "Remember not to sneak in in the future."

It seems that you just sneaked in, right?I glanced at the next window, or rather crept in.

I lowered my head helplessly and said to the little girl who insisted on driving me out: "I didn't come here without authorization, it was my father who asked me to stay here and wait for him."

"Father?" She stopped moving, raised her head and stared at me with wide eyes, and asked suspiciously.

I lowered my body, squatted in front of her, and said to her with a smile: "I am your brother, and my name is Ni Tingxuan."

"Ah, you are the son of the prostitute that mother said?" She finally came to her senses and said suddenly.

Although it was completely childish and unintentional, it still pierced deeply in my heart.

I also occasionally heard about the fact that Princess Jingchang doesn't like our mother and son from the careless servants.At that time, although I didn't know the exact meaning of the word prostitute, I could tell from the unconcealed contemptuous eyes of the servants who talked about this word that it must not be a good word.

I don't know how to answer next, and it seems that I don't need to answer next.

The door of the study was pushed open suddenly, and it was the tall figure of father who appeared at the door.

Relying on Xiaoqiang's tenacious vitality, a certain lamp finally climbed to the first place once again.I was so excited, my eyes filled with tears...

I'm the copper pea that can't be pounded and fried without crackling,
