Spring dyed pear blossoms

Time can heal the pain, but it can't erase the thought.

Under the window, the slender figure is picturesque, the sun is warming, but the music that can be played is full of sadness.

Zhenniang opened the door and came in, frowning and asked, "This year, are you still unwilling?"

The woman raised her head, revealing a pair of watery eyes.Among the many women in Yanyu Building, she is not the most beautiful, but she is never tired of seeing her.She stopped playing the piano and asked, "Didn't Zhenniang agree to Luo Ying, Luo Ying still has one year left."

"What are you waiting for? Ran Xue will reach her age next year, I'm afraid you may not be so lucky next year. If you don't get the oiran, you are no different from those women outside. Even if I want to protect you, it is useless. This year, you have the greatest chance of winning."

Luo Ying smiled softly, "Ms. Zhen, it's the oiran election day again, so don't waste your time with me. There are many things in the front yard waiting for you to decide."

Seeing that she was unwilling to speak, Zhenniang did not force her, "You have to think about it yourself. Today is the primary election day, so you should think about it!"

As soon as Zhenniang left, Luo Ying stopped smiling and left the room.

Walking to the backyard, he couldn't help but stare at the threshold of the back door.

Thinking of the man sitting on it, he raised the steamed bun in his hand and said with a smile, "Asu, I brought you steamed buns."

That person's small face is always covered with dust, which is blurry and can't be seen clearly.But she is always talking to you with a playful smile, holding a piece of dogtail grass in her mouth from time to time, and stretching out her hand to gently touch her forehead.

The corners of Luo Ying's mouth floated up, just as a smile appeared, the next moment she realized that this was just her memory.

Where that person is, or even whether he is alive or dead, has become a mystery.

After walking down the corridor and sitting for a long time, it was getting late.

As soon as he got up to go back to his room, he was hit by someone.

She frowned, and before she could speak, the other party spoke first.

"Yo, did you hurt the girl?"

That person seemed to have known each other, but seeing that his manner of speaking was no different from those dudes, I felt disgusted in my heart.

"Never!"

After all, he wanted to leave, but was stopped by this man again, "Girl, don't rush to leave!" He didn't shy away from it, staring at Luo Ying blankly as he looked up and down, "Master has been in the Misty Rain Tower for so long , why have I never seen you? What's your name?"

Luo Ying leaned back, "The little girl Luo Ying is not yet old enough to receive guests, so it's not surprising that the uncle has never seen her before."

"So that's how it is. Heh, I didn't expect Niang Zhen to hide her beauty in a golden house here. But there are not many people who can protect Niang Zhen like this." After speaking, he took another look at Luo Ying.

"I said Master Meng, you just turned around, why did you forget about my slave's house?" Feng San leaned on the railing not far away, with a sour taste in his voice. "Sister Luoying, this is our new county lord in Kyoto, Meng Qiucheng, Mr. Meng."

She said, swinging a purse in her hand, and walked to Meng Qiucheng's side, "My lord, your things have been left behind."

Meng Qiucheng took it, hurriedly put away the purse, smiled at Luo Ying, walked from her side to Feng San's side.He stopped Feng San's shoulder with one hand, and smiled flirtatiously in her ear, "Sister Feng is the one who understands my heart best in the entire Yanyu Building. I just went to watch the oiran's election. Sister Feng misses me so much? "

Feng San slapped Meng Qiucheng on the shoulder pretending to be angry, "Hmph, isn't Master Meng still anxiously waiting to see the oiran election? I'm afraid that when a new oiran is elected, my lord will forget about my family."

Meng Qiucheng's hand slipped to Feng San's waist, "How could it be, Sister Feng, she is the most precious one of this officer. Let's go to the front yard with me to have a look."

After walking two steps, Meng Qiucheng looked back at Luo Ying again, "Is that Miss Luo Ying? Oh, I've made a note of it."

Luo Ying stood where she was, looking at the people walking away, her dry eyes suddenly became moist.She knows that purse very well, and that person, when you look closely, his gestures and gestures are very similar to her.

When we met Yujun, the love was deep and the journey did not return.If you don't know each other again, this love is far away.All the feelings in her heart could not resist that lovesickness.

She has seen many people of all kinds in the Yanyu Tower, but there is only one person who can make her care so much.

That purse, she has been carrying, she really came back.

She really did it, she really became an official at the feet of the emperor.

When the backyard was empty, Luo Ying suddenly laughed again.Really the one who said, Aso, don't be afraid is back.

The originally cold heart was filled to the brim by that figure.The disgust that was born in the first place has also disappeared in smoke.

The front yard was already full of people, Meng Qiucheng went up to the high platform on the second floor, looked down from above, and shook his head, "The girl candidates for this year in Yanyu Building are not half as good as Sister Feng."

"You have a sweet mouth. By the way, you have been back for so long, have you found the person you are looking for?"

Meng Qiucheng kept looking at the audience, "I'm not looking for it."

Seeing that Feng San was silent, Meng Qiucheng looked at Feng San.

Feng San pointed to Meng Qiucheng's arms, "It's not the oiran candidate, but the owner of the purse."

Meng Qiucheng thought for a moment, then sat at a stand table in the corner.He poured a cup of tea unhurriedly, "I searched secretly, and there is no girl named Asu in Yanyu Building. The previous Aunt Liu also died of illness, and the only clue is Niang Zhen, but I have no chance to investigate. .”

She took a sip of tea and said, "But the girl I saw today looks familiar."

"Her name is Luo Ying, and she was carefully cultivated by Zhen Niang over the years. But when it comes to Luo Ying, Zhen Niang should value Ran Xue more. I remember that Luo Ying only came two years ago, so she might not be the person you are looking for." .”

"That's right, that girl is very stupid, she definitely won't be so obedient. If she is really Asu, she wouldn't deny me just now." She took out the purse in her arms, and was stunned for a while.

Feng San sat beside her and comforted, "Perhaps Asu has left the capital. Since I came to Yanyu Building, I haven't seen Asu, and I haven't heard anything about Asu. Like you said, Asu had a beautiful face when he was a child, if he was really in the Misty Rain Building, no one would know about it. What's more, at that time, there was a lot of trouble at Mr. Chen's family, and Mother Zhen probably sent Asu away."

Meng Qiucheng nodded, "If that's the case, it's her luck. At least it's better than staying here and pleasing men. In the future, marrying a good family, caring for a husband and raising children, and living an ordinary life will be the happiest thing. Originally, I also wanted Take her away and give her some money to live on."

"Do you really think that you are a living Bodhisattva? There are countless poor people in the world, how many people can you help?"

"So, the most fundamental problem lies with the imperial court."

Meng Qiucheng's eyes turned to the audience again, the beauty competition of those beautiful women was far less fierce than the previous financial competition among the men.

Zhen Niang was in the midst of it, her face had more signs of aging, and her gestures and gestures looked very much like the previous Aunt Liu.

In fact, today's primary election is just a small test, and the main election a month later will be the highlight.

Meng Qiucheng stretched boredly, hugged Feng San and whispered in her ear, "Sister Feng, I'm tired."

"Go back to your room and rest for a while if you're tired!"

"Alright, I'll go back to the yamen when Ah Yu comes."

In a corner downstairs, a pair of eyes were watching Meng Qiucheng's every move. Seeing her get up, she tightly clenched her chest with one hand.Seeing her erratic gaze towards the audience, she hurriedly hid behind the wall in fright.For some reason, when I saw this, I felt a bit of sourness in my heart.

It turned out that she didn't come to see me.Maybe she simply forgot Aso.Perhaps, she just came to this fun place to join in the fun.

She poked her head out quietly, her eyebrows raised high, seeing her intimate behavior with other women, the sourness made people feel even more uncomfortable.

The night wind was bleak, but the bustle of the Misty Rain Building remained unabated.The guests laughed and greeted and sent off.The whole Chang'an is shrouded in bright lights.

Luo Ying thought for a long time, but finally couldn't help but went to find Zhen Niang.

Seeing the person coming, Zhenniang didn't seem too surprised, she just greeted, "Sit down!"

Sitting opposite Zhenniang, Luo Ying seemed to have thought about it for a long time, and finally opened her mouth.

"Zhen Niang, I also want to participate in the selection of the oiran this time."

Zhenniang hummed, and said nothing.

Luo Ying was a little at a loss, "Didn't Zhen Niang say that as long as Luo Ying is willing, it's fine?"

"I said it before, but this is the Misty Rain Building. What kind of identity do you want to go there? Do you still remember why I took you in? Because you wanted to live. Now you want to live because you want to live, or is there another reason? ?”

Zhenniang's words made Luo Ying nervous for a while, she looked up at Zhenniang sideways, the traces of time had turned her into another Aunt Liu.But she also knew in her heart that she gave her a chance to live.

And such an opportunity is to lose freedom forever.

Luo Ying lowered her head slowly, clenched her fists with both hands, her body was tense, and she didn't speak anymore.

Zhenniang sighed slightly, "You hate me?"

"Niang Zhen has the kindness to rebuild Luo Ying, and Luo Ying does not hate her."

"Don't hate, or don't dare to hate?"

This sentence made Luo Ying dare not answer.I hated it, but I don't hate it anymore.There is no chance of turning back after choosing this path, and this fate cannot be changed.She also just wants to keep a complete self, hoping to meet her old friend one day.

It's just that we met today, the old friend is no longer the old friend, but she still can't let go.

Why did she become the county magistrate of Chang'an, why did she come to Yanyu Tower, and how did she hide her identity from Feng San?These questions troubled her all night, and she finally decided to give it a try and find out.But unexpectedly, she hit a wall with Zhenniang.

yes!Asu is dead, now Luo Ying is alive.

She stood up slowly, bowed to Zhen Niang, "Luo Ying will leave."

"and many more."

Zhen Niang pressed the table with one hand, and held the teacup in the other, with an indifferent expression on her face, she stared at Luo Ying for a moment and said, "Although Wu Zhaoting, the son of the Wu family, is only a small captain, he is also a rare Talent. The master wants to win over, but the Wu family has always been friendly with King Fucheng, so your task is to win over Wu Zhaoting."

Luo Ying's shoulders visibly trembled, "How to win?"

"You don't want to use the concealment of this pawn so quickly. But Wu Zhaoting is not like other people. He is indifferent to beauty and money. If you want to impress him, ordinary people may not be able to do it. Master wants you to use whatever The method must be to win him over. Otherwise, you are a useless chess game.

Since you proposed to participate in the oiran election this time, you can only win.Wu Zhaoting obeyed Liang Wang's orders, so he would naturally come with Liang Wang.At that time, you can only choose Wu Zhaoting. "

Luo Ying hesitated for a moment, "Ms. Zhen, let me think about it."

"Before there is no order from the master, I can give you time to think about it. But now, I have received a letter from the master, which is an order." Zhen Niang's tone was cold and strong.

Luo Ying didn't know who Zhenniang's so-called master was, she only knew that she was able to survive because of this master.She also knew that she could no longer refute, nor could she change anything.But thinking about that person, I also made up my mind.

As long as I can see her again, even if it is death, I am willing.

After Luo Ying left, Ran Xue came out from behind the screen and sat down.

"What a poor little sheep, Mrs. Zhen, you big-tailed wolf seems to be sure to eat this little sheep."

"She is not a sheep, she is a wolf. If you have seen those eyes that died for life back then, you can understand."

Ran Xue's hand that was pouring water paused, and she couldn't help but smile, "Did you save her because you wanted to find someone who could win Wu Zhaoting for the master, or because she resembled you so much?"

"You have a lot to say today."

"Hehe, it's okay. Now it's just you and me, and there are no outsiders. However, I have to remind you, no matter how weak a sheep is, you can't have the slightest deviation. If you can't grasp it, it's better to let it go as soon as possible, so as not to cause trouble. more trouble."

Zhen Niang was slightly puzzled, "What do you mean?"

"You have seen the fate of waste chess more than I have, don't you understand? The master has never cared about it, and her life and death are naturally irrelevant."

Zhenniang closed her eyes, "Master wants to kill her?"

Ran Xue shook her head, "She doesn't know much, it doesn't matter whether she is killed or not. But keep it, sooner or later, she will die. Just like you and me, maybe one day she will die. This is our fate, Do you want her to do that too?"

Zhenniang was silent for a while, "I saved her back then because she wanted to live."

"And now? Why did you trap her?"

"It's not me who traps her now, it's she who traps herself. But she is so abnormal tonight, maybe the person who rescued her back then came."

Ran Xue picked up the teacup and studied it carefully in front of her, "Back then Chen Yuanwai's chess piece was useless, and the master lost the gold chain, but the loss was heavy. You know, if this person appears, there will only be one word for the end."

Zhenniang picked up the teacups on the table and touched the one in Ran Xue's hand, "I hope this time, she can grasp her own destiny."

"Whether she can catch it or not, let alone, but the master did say that if she fails, she must die. This road is not chosen by you, nor by the master, it is her own." Ran Xue drank it all in one gulp The tea in the cup smacked his lips, "It really is good tea."

A month later, Luo Ying's appearance broke the pattern of the oiran's choice.

Meng Qiucheng looked at the person playing the piano in front of the stage, and suddenly felt interested.

Luo Ying's gaze also looked at Meng Qiucheng on the second floor, and the song became a reminiscence, and every word and sentence was told to the person in the dream in this "Red Dust Tune".

But she never seemed to understand.

This night, Luo Ying's guest of honor was Wu Zhaoting.

In the following three months, Wu Zhaoting came to Yanyu Tower more and more times, and Luo Ying rejected him more and more times.

Zhenniang looked at Luo Ying, annoyed that she didn't know how to advance and retreat, and also annoyed that she didn't care about her own life.

Luo Ying knelt on the ground without explaining a word.

"Do you think I don't know if you don't talk?"

"Zhen Niang, Luo Ying doesn't like Captain Wu."

"Lieutenant Wu is not like those men outside. He is sincere to you. If you can marry him, you will help the master first, and you will also help yourself."

Luo Ying raised her head, but shook her head stubbornly, "Luo Ying already has someone she likes in her heart, and she will never like anyone else."

Although Zhenniang was angry, she did help the master.Wu Zhaoting's ability to distinguish between right and wrong, and to be able to cast aside the dark and turn to the bright, is indispensible to her.But if she could marry Wu Zhaoting, she would be able to stay away from right and wrong in the future and not have to show her face.This is the life she should have.

She didn't understand why Luo Ying still couldn't understand such a simple and easy-to-understand principle.

"Because of the person who saved you?"

Luo Ying was startled, and raised her head to observe Zhenniang's complexion carefully.

"You don't have to look at me like this. When I went to you, that person reported the letter. But after so many years, I still can't find that person. I don't ask, it doesn't mean I don't know. I don't tell, it doesn't mean, The master doesn't hate that person."

Zhen Niang said, and stood in front of Luo Ying, "Remember you are not Asu, Asu died long ago. No matter who you meet, you are Luo Ying. If someone knows your identity, not only you will die."

Luo Ying knew that Niang Zhen was reminding her that if Meng Qiucheng knew that she was Asu, the master would also know who was the one who destroyed Yuanwai Chen's chess game.Zhenniang can turn a blind eye, but the master will not show mercy.

She bit her lips tightly and nodded lightly, "Asu is dead, no one in this world will know about it anymore."
