The reckoning of rebirth

I am a bronze mirror, a phoenix-patterned mirror from the Warring States Period, made by Lu Huang, the most skilled master in the capital at that time.In order to create me, he spent eighteen months and three days. When I was completely polished and carved, everyone who saw me was shocked. They were not surprised by the decorations on my body. It's their own appearance - many people may not be able to see themselves so clearly in their lives.

I was put in a golden nanmu box, and then given to a young master as a gift——Lie Yang, the youngest son of Lord Changping, the brother-in-law of Sun Shanhou, and the first of the four gentlemen of the capital.

About Lieyang, I have heard a lot, and I will hear this name from time to time in the process of being built.Master Lu Huang and his apprentices will always talk about this handsome young man from time to time. From their tone, I also know that they are proud to create something for Lie Yang, so, in When I was still very ignorant, I secretly rejoiced that I could have such a master.

He must be smart, he must be upright, and he must be strong.In those countless nights, I thought so, and when I really saw him, I knew that I was wrong, Lie Yang, it was completely different from what I thought.

He is so beautiful, so gorgeous, and so... I don't know how to describe it, I only know that at that moment, I was shocked.

"Master Lu Huang is really skilled. It's the first time I can see myself so clearly." He held me and smiled softly. I was trembling secretly. The trembling of the mirror would not be noticed by others, but he He glanced at me as if he felt something, until a long time later, I still remember that glance, with a slight upward slope, as if with a bit of playfulness and a bit of interest, I was so in a trance Excited, I didn't know until later that it was his habit.

He always looks like this, carelessly, as if interested, and as if everything in this world has nothing to do with him.He looked at a flower, a piece of grass, and a bird in the same way, but I was still excited. I felt that I was different, because when he looked at me, he was always so profound.

Actually I know he is not looking at me, but he is always looking at himself through me.

I was placed on a shelf in his bedroom, which was a good spot, and I could always see him when he was in the bedroom, and sometimes when he was in the yard.I watched him groom, feed the fish, and dance with his sword.

That red dress is his symbol, the maid in his room always looks at him with admiring and loving eyes, but he never cares, his eyes seem to never stay on anything for a long time, until the child 's arrival

It really can only be said to be a child, with no hair tied, wearing navy blue clothes, such a cold or even dark color seems to be glowing and glowing on his body, he just rushed in like this, Then carelessly called my master's name - Lie Yang!Lieyang!

"Lieyang, let's go play!"

"Lieyang, go to dance the sword!"

"Lieyang, accompany me to see the horses!"

"Lieyang, my sister told you to enter the palace!"

……

His name is Guangyu, the youngest of the four princes of the capital, Guangyu.He is three years younger than Lie Yang. When he first appeared in front of me, he was still a head smaller than Lie Yang. After three years, he was already half a head taller than Lie Yang. He no longer Then he pestered Lie Yang blah blah, but sat beside him and drank in a joking way: "Lie Yang, why don't you grow up? If you go out again, others will think you are my younger brother!"

Lie Yang glanced back at him, very casually, his eyes slanted up, as if with a bit of playfulness, as if it was the same as the past, but I saw another thing from that familiarity, I don't know That's what it is, but I know it's different.

For another three years, Guangyu was already a head taller than Lie Yang. He finally stopped growing taller a year ago, but his figure was developing in a burly direction. He was still wearing blue clothes, but every move contained a kind of The power of the explosion.

"Lieyang, I'm going to fight."

That day, he seemed to say this casually, Lie Yang stopped playing the piano, and then continued to play the piano as if he didn't hear it, but after a song, he turned around: "I'll go with you."

"you?"

"Yes."

"You don't have to go!"

Lie Yang didn't say anything, but this attitude has already been decided.

Lie Yang didn't have to go, because he had two older brothers fighting on the battlefield, according to the law, he could never take part in this kind of thing, but he still insisted.Hearing this news, the entire Changping Mansion was shaken. Lord Changping sighed, Mrs. Changping cried, and even Miss Changping and Concubine Sun Shanhou, who had been married for many years, came out of the palace to persuade me. The first time I saw this woman, she was very young and very beautiful, very similar to Lie Yang, but softer than Lie Yang. I have heard from other servants that this young lady was very fond of Lie Yang before she got married. Master's.

That day, she cried like pear blossoms and rain, without the slightest restraint. At that moment, she was not a noble concubine, but just a sister who loved her younger brother. She kept persuading Lie Yang not to go. She said that the battlefield is ruthless. Without eyes, she took out Mr. and Mrs. Changping, took out herself, and took out the future of Changping Mansion.

"The four gentlemen of the capital, even the youngest Guangyu is about to go to the battlefield, how can I not go?" He said his reasons softly.

"So what? So what? The Four Gentlemen are nothing but a name!"

Earlier, the noble and elegant concubine seemed crazy, but it still didn't hinder his decision. He still wanted to go. Before he went, he stroked me as if hesitating. The maid next to him asked, "Do you want to bring this bronze mirror, my lord?"

"Don't take it..."

He was a little hesitant, and that Guangyu jumped out again: "Hey, don't you love this mirror the most? You have to take a picture several times a day, why don't you take it with you?"

He smiled: "The flames of war are ruthless. Wouldn't it be a pity if such a good mirror is lost?"

"You can take it with you if you want. I also have a dragon-patterned mirror over there, which was also made by Master Lu Huang. If you lose this side, how about I give you mine?"

"how about you?"

"Me? I don't care. I'm not as good-looking as you, as long as I don't be rude. Anyway, there are servants around, so I won't be rude."

He didn't speak, but I could clearly see a hint of joy in his eyes.

He left, and I stood on the shelf as usual. Every day, servants came to wipe me. Every few days, Mrs. Changping would come to this room to have a look. Nothing in his room was moved. Yes, but there seems to be something missing.

Artifacts have no sense of time, but I feel so lonely in the cycles of the sun and the moon.I kept recalling, and then, constantly recalling everything about him in the past. Sometimes, I could also hear some news about him from the servants.

He fought again;

He was promoted again;

He was again given the task;

……

It's all good news, I'm secretly happy.Then, he finally came back, still dressed in red.On that day, the whole Changping Mansion was full of jubilation, decorated with lanterns and festoons, and the sound of gongs and drums. He exchanged greetings, smiled, and dressed in such bright colors, but in such a lively environment, he seemed like a piece of ice.

The days seem to be the same as in the past. He practices martial arts and writes every day, looks at me deeply, and strokes every line of my body with his fingers. I am not happy with such carefulness. I don’t know why. Until that day, I heard He said to himself: "Kuilong mirror, it is completely different."

As an object, I don't know what is IQ, what is EQ, what is sophistication, and what is empathy. These things are slowly known to me in a long, long time, but at that moment, I seem to be Blessed to the soul, I suddenly understood what this meant!I also finally know why everything seems to be the same, but why there is a little difference.

Guangyu never came again!

Since then, Mr. Guangyu, who used to come here often, even every day, never came again.As an artifact, it is impossible for me to know too much, but when I pay attention to the name, I can gradually know a little bit.So I know that Mr. Guangyu's family has taken refuge in Gongsunhou, I know that Gongsunhou and Sun Shanhou are in fact irreconcilable, I know that Lie Yang and Guangyu have finally become enemies.

After knowing this, I seemed a little lucky, but also a little hurt, I didn't know what it was.I have no one to tell, and no one will tell me anything, I still stand on the shelf as before, watching him quietly.

On that day, at the beginning of the month, I could see the crescent moon reflected in the pool in the courtyard. He was sitting in the courtyard drinking wine. He was going to get married soon. The bride was said to be Sun Shanhou’s cousin. I knew from the servants that She is a beautiful and courteous woman, and the bride will bring a lot of property. Even if he cannot inherit too much from Changping Mansion in the future, his future life will not be affected in any way, and he will also have the title of a monarch.For this bride, he didn't seem to have any resistance, but he also didn't seem to have any welcome, he was the same as before.

He drank one cup, another cup, and when he drank the third cup, a blue shadow fell from the sky. The shadow was so huge, but it landed so lightly. At that moment, I almost thought I saw the words in the mouth of the servant. ghost.

The blue shadow fell in front of him, but he didn't seem to feel anything, just slowly raised his head, and then suddenly smiled, the moonlight shining on his face was so beautiful, I suddenly forgot to be afraid, I just feel that even if there are ghosts, it is nothing special.

Not a ghost.

"Are you celebrating in secret, or are you grieving in secret?" Although I didn't turn around, I could tell that it was Guangyu just from the voice, and it was Guangyu who hadn't been here for a long time.
