The Golden Hairpin

The world in front of me is bright and trance.

A small building in spring with a half-open window. Outside the window, the bright red cherry blossoms bloomed plumply and plumply, and it seemed that as long as a light gust of wind, they would all fall from the branches, turning into a pink glow and dissipating.

Huang Zixia opened the window and looked at the county guard house in front of him. The morning air was so fresh that it was almost bitter, rushing towards her, but there was a chaotic blank in her mind, and she didn't know what she saw.

In the front is the county guard house. Her parents and brother live in the front yard, and because she likes the blooming cherry blossoms in the garden, she moved to the small pavilion in the garden a few days ago.

There was a garden separated from the front yard. She could see layered roofs, overhanging eaves, and people hurriedly coming and going in the patio, faintly heard noises.

She was slightly surprised. I don't know why so many people suddenly came to her home today. Putting on her clothes in a hurry, she picked a silver hairpin from the dressing table and pulled up her hair, then picked up the bracelet on the dressing table and put it around her wrist.

This is the bracelet Yu Xuan gave her last year. After he was awarded the Juren, he took the first month's money and grains given to him by the county, and picked a piece of mutton fat white jade, which was carved by a craftsman. Yu Xuan doesn't have a lot of money, so the texture of that piece of jade is not particularly good. After studying with her for a long time, he finally decided to carve two small fishes connected end to end, just enough to remove impurities and show smooth lines.

Xiaoyu's eyes are two white rice beads inlaid, chic and light. The off-white beads on the waxy white jade bracelet are inconspicuous at first glance, but they have two different textures and gloss on closer inspection. At that time, many of her close friends were very envious of her, but unfortunately there was no second piece of jade that could be imitated. Out.

She put the bracelet on her wrist, before putting her hand down, she turned her head and looked around, only to find that the thick black fog had gradually invaded. Everything around her became blurred. She didn't know where she was. She only felt that she was gradually enveloped by the thick black fog, and she seemed to be unable to get out anymore.

She looked around in a hurry and walked forward, but she didn't know where she came from or where she was going.

I heard someone calling her: "Huang Zixia... Huang Zixia..."

She turned her head, but couldn't see anyone. In the darkness, she was the only one pursuing.

She looked back at the darkness around her and asked blankly: "Who...who is calling me?"

"You are alone..."

A cold breath slowly penetrated over her head, and her whole body became stiff, and she could only repeat the voice mechanically: "I am... alone?"

"Your father, mother, brother, uncle, and grandmother are all dead..."

She stood there blankly, feeling a buzz in her mind, leaving nothing but a blank in her dizzy mind.

Until the roar in her head passed, her feet could no longer hold her body, she could only let herself sit on the ground. There was darkness in front of him, and countless scarlet colors were flowing in the darkness, as if the blood in the body was slowly stirred, and all the internal organs were crushed.

In this extreme pain, she stroked her chest, bent down and gasped desperately. But at this moment, she suddenly thought, it's a dream, it's a dream, it's just a recurrence of the nightmare!

Because, this kind of extreme pain and pain, she has experienced countless times.

After the death of her parents, she repeated this dream time and time again, dreaming that she would return to that day, dreaming that all the beautiful spring days would collapse and fester, and her life would never be restored.

Knowing that I was in a dream, the darkness in front of me suddenly dissipated in an instant.

It turned out that she was already in the front yard, and she was full of noise. Standing among the noisy crowd, she saw the bodies of her parents at a glance.

They were covered by white cloth, lying quietly on the bed, stopped in the courtyard, on the green brick floor.

Since the age of twelve, she has seen countless corpses and stood in front of the corpses of her relatives. She felt no different from the past, and felt that the whole world had collapsed anyway, so she didn't care if it was the same anymore.

She heard the voice of Jiang Songlin, the oldest veteran in the county, as illusory as it was coming from thousands of feet away, and as real as it was in her ears--

"Examination: Junmin Huang, the county guard, Mrs. Huang Yang, the eldest son Huang Yan, Mrs. Huang Lao, the mother of the county guard, and Huang Jun, the cousin of the county guard, were all poisoned. Five of the dead were in possession of Huang Yan and Huang Jun. There were signs of vomiting. Five people had rice soup-like diarrhea in their lower abdomen, among them Yang’s had **** stools. The five deceased all had abdominal pain and convulsions during their lifetime. The experience showed that the arsenic poisoning was correct."

The nightmare in front of her shattered in an instant and turned into thousands of sharp fragments, piercing her eyes and heart, and the pain came surging with darkness and drowned her.

Huang Zixia suddenly sat up from the bed, panting in horror, staring around her with wide-eyed eyes.

With the freezing blue sky and the darkness at dawn, she sat up in shock, her face full of still warm tears.

I don't know where I am or where I am going.

After a long time, the black shadow in her mind gradually receded. This is in the inn in Hanzhou.

After the death of her parents, she was framed as the murderer who poisoned the whole family and arrested all over the world. She can only pretend to escape from the Shu area and come to Chang'an, hoping to appeal to the court, retrial the original wrongful case, and wash the blood of her grievances.

And she met Kui Wang Li Shubai.

Now her identity is Yang Chonggu, the **** of the Royal Palace of Kui.

She and Li Shubai set off from Chang'an and headed south for Chengdu. Hanzhou is only one day away from Chengdu.

The closer you get, the more you fear.

She sat blankly in the dark for a long time, waited until the tears on her face dried, then fell back again, lying on the bed, widening her eyes and watching the sky outside gradually light up.

After half a year of displacement, she finally won the day to enter Shu again. I went to Chengdu House, where there are thousands of rivers and mountains, and it has been half a year since the killing of the door in her family. She didn't know if she could really fulfill the oath at that time and comfort her family's spirit in heaven.

On the day when her fate turned, those sorrows that she could not bear repeatedly appeared in her dreams, making her feel that kind of powerlessness and pain time and time again. She repeatedly thought about everything that might happen in it, but in the end, everything could not be deduced by fantasy. The only way was to go back to the field and re-examine everything.

When all the truth comes to light, maybe it's time to get free.

She curled up, buried her face in her arms, and looked out the window in a daze.

The dark blue sky gradually turned light blue, with dazzling light, and it will be hot again today.

After stroking the throbbing temples, Huang Zixia got up to wash, and went out earlier.

There are many officials in Hanzhou's official post, and today it is the king of Kui Li Shubai who is staying, and a group of officials are naturally attentive. As the **** next to King Kui, she was also regarded as a guest of honor.

She pushed the door out and saw the bamboo path in the courtyard, with large hollyhocks blooming next to it. On the stems higher than the human head, clusters of brocade-like flowers are very bright. Hollyhock is also known as Yizhanghong, the flowers are bright and bright, and the most in the shu.

Huang Zixia remembers that there were also large hollyhocks planted in the mansion of the envoy. In the early summer morning, before she got up, Yu Xuan often knocked on her small window and gave her a hollyhock.

Either pink, or light purple, sometimes single, sometimes double. She put the flower hairpin he sent in her hair, and chose a dress to match. One summer just passed, maybe I can't remember exactly when it happened, but I always remember the dark red and light yellow colors of those days.

She unconsciously raised her hand to touch the petals of the hollyhock, and looked across the flowers to the other side of the bamboo forest path. Li Shubai was passing the long sword in his hand to Jing Yi and turned to look at her. The color of the flowers was faint, and his azure pure brocade clothes also appeared vivid. Among the dark and light colors around, he was the only one with a touch of cold, touching.

She couldn't help but admire this man. From Chang'an to Shu County, there are thousands of rivers and mountains along the way, and the journey is hard. All the state capitals along the way are also dispatched, and countless official entertainments. Every time she dodges that she is just a little eunuch, but Kui Wang Li Shubai is naturally impossible to dodge—but this person has such self-discipline. After that, I will always see him getting up in the morning to exercise, rain or shine, without exception.

Li Shubai had thin sweat on his forehead. He took the kerchief in Jingyou's hand and wiped it while walking towards her. She watched him approach, and hurriedly saluted him: "Master...Morning."

He let out an "um" and passed her without squinting.

She followed him, took two steps, saw him stop again, and handed her the silk scarf.

She didn't know what he meant, and when she raised her hand to pick it up, she saw that her fingertips were stained with yellow hollyhock pollen.

She hurriedly lowered her head to take the kerchief and wiped her fingers clean.
