How many times rose flowers

"Send snow." Behind the beaded gauze curtain, a girl in a black robe walked slowly, using a folding fan to lift one side of the curtain, revealing half of her profile face.

It stands to reason that such a soul-stirring beauty would be praised by anyone who saw it, but Jixue had just experienced a sect rebellion and the death of her master, so she was really not in the mood to comment on Huaci's clothes, so she just smiled lightly.

"How about my robe?" Sure enough, Huaci's next sentence mentioned her clothes.

"Fair." Jixue had no choice but to answer.

"Senior Sister, why did Ms. Yu ask about clothes as soon as she came up, shouldn't she care about the situation of Xiuyuanmen?" Chi Mu asked puzzled.

"Maybe... to divert my attention?" Jixue said flickeringly.In fact, what she was thinking in her heart was: Ah Jiu must be because most of the Yangui Sect are male students who have no aesthetics, and there is no one to discuss clothes with her.

"Miss, why did you wear this robe? This is for the succession ceremony in the future." A maid reminded.

"That's why you want Jixue to help me as a staff officer." Huaci said nonchalantly, "You all say that I look good in whatever I wear on weekdays, and I can boast thousands of tricks, but there is no substantive suggestion at all. .”

"Yes, this slave is talking too much." The maid shut her mouth, not daring to say anything more.What she thought in her heart was: Miss always looks good in anything.

"Succession Ceremony?" Chi Mu captured useful information within the valid time.

"Ah, my adoptive father was exhausted from traveling and traveling, and when he came back he was seriously ill. He planned to let me take his place." Hua Ci said.

After chatting for a while, Huaci ordered people to take Jixue and the two juniors back to Yanguimen to arrange a place to live.Several people have special identities. In order to prevent people with bad intentions, they live in several courtyards near Huaci's courtyard, and Jixue lives in a courtyard called Chaomu Pavilion next to Huaci's Mu Mixuan.

The next day was clear and bright, and the sky began to rain lightly.

Jixue wanted to find a secluded place to burn some paper money for Elder Xiang Yao, so he came to the mountain behind Yangui Gate alone.The back mountain was deserted and deserted, and there were no people there, which was exactly what she wanted.

"Master, today is Qingming, the disciple is not filial and cannot go to your grave to pay homage in person. I hope you will not blame me."

"Master, this disciple will go back one day, to Xiuyuanmen. I want to reveal the truth to the public, and I want to bring everything that was upside down back on track."

At this moment, Mu Mixuan.

Huaci took a sip of tea, raised her finger and dropped a piece on the chessboard.Sitting opposite her was a pale-haired old man. The old man looked at the situation on the chessboard for a while and shook his head.

"Accepted." Huaci smiled slightly.

"Ninth Princess is really proficient in chess." said the old man.

"I don't dare to do it, it's just that the elder's promise to the princess can still be counted?" Hua Ci meant something.

"Naturally counts. Whatever the princess wants, as long as the old man can do it, the old man will do it for the princess." The old man said.

"I want the picture scroll of Mr. Yuxu. Will the elder not agree to such a small request?" Hua Ci said.

"Princess, you are joking, why is Mr. Yuxu's picture scroll in the hands of the old man?" The old man secretly wiped off his cold sweat, thinking: How does the ninth princess know that he sent someone to do it?

"So, the elder didn't agree?" Hua Ci's eyes showed a fierce look, and the eyes turned rose red.

Seeing this scene, the old man was frightened out of his wits. Legend has it that every time the eyes of the Ninth Princess turn red, it is a bad omen.He never forgot how Princess Nine became the leader of the ghost clan.The Ninth Princess has a pretty face, but she can't match her cruelty.At the beginning, the leader died in battle, and the leader's nine sons and daughters competed for the position of leader, and the nine princesses were the least favored ones.There is no other reason, except that Princess Nine is a woman, and it is because Princess Nine is so beautiful that people forget that she is also a ghost crawling out of hell and the daughter of the leader.

At the beginning, the eight elder brothers of the ninth princess were killed one by one by her without warning because they underestimated her, and their heads were hung on the city wall for seven days.Some elders in the clan felt that she was too cruel and came out to resist, but she crushed her bones one by one.At that time, Princess Ninth's eyes were blood red, and those who saw it would never forget it.Naturally, he didn't want to take this risk and offend Princess Nine.

"How could it be, how could it be. The old man was just joking with the princess just now. If the nine princesses want the picture scroll of Mr. Yuxu, the old man will send someone to deliver it." The old man said.

Huaci nodded in satisfaction, all the red in her eyes faded away.

"see a visitor out."

"Don't dare to bother Princess Ninth." The old man walked out of Mu Mi Pavilion tremblingly, with cold sweat still remaining on his face, as if he had received an amnesty.

……

"Sister."

"Sister, are you there?"

"Sister, it's so dark here, I'm... so scared."

The little girl ran aimlessly in the darkness.Her voice sounded like she was about to cry.She was really really scared.

Suddenly, a blurry figure appeared in front of him.It was a girl holding a Yaoqin. She hugged the little girl and said in a comforting tone: "A Nian, it's my sister who is wrong. Don't worry, my sister will not be separated from you again."

The girl played the piano, the sound of the piano was soothing and pleasant, the little girl's heart was soothed, and she smiled through tears.

"Sister, you won't leave me again." The little girl asked innocently.

The moment the voice sounded, the person in front of him disappeared like a cloud of smoke.The little girl was frightened again.She tried to call her sister's name, but no one answered.

In a blink of an eye, the little girl found that she had grown up a bit.Before her eyes was no longer darkness, but a dilapidated courtyard.A voice came from the other side of the courtyard:

"That girl Yuzhen left without saying a word, leaving behind such a young sister, what should I do?" It was a middle-aged woman who spoke.

"Hey, although Yuzhen helped us in the past, and she also paid for childcare, but this little money is only enough to support her until Jiji." The person talking to her was a middle-aged man, who should be her husband. .

"It's better to sell this little girl and earn some money."

"Good idea, just do it."

The little girl listened to their conversation, completely unaware of the seriousness of the matter.She didn't know what they meant, and she didn't know where her elder sister Yuzhen went.

Scene switching.

The little girl fell into darkness again.She appeared to be in a carriage driven by an old woman.The carriage was extremely bumpy, and several girls who were about her age were tied hands and feet and thrown into the carriage.

"Little sister, have you been sold out by your family too?" One of the girls, about eleven or twelve years old, talked to her.

"It's impossible for my sister to sell mine. She is the best sister in the world." After saying this, the little girl remembered that her sister had already left, and went to a place far, far away.

So, have you been abandoned again?

The little girl couldn't help thinking of the scene when she went to her father's house to beg him to save her mother's life a few years ago, but was driven out with a stick by the servants.The stick was very painful, she was afraid of pain, and she controlled herself not to think about those nightmarish memories.

The scene switches again.

"I bought this girl." It was a girl who was the same age as her.She was dressed gorgeously, she looked like a lady from some family.

The little girl curled up in the corner was released, and the old woman got a bag of silver and drove away happily in the broken carriage.

"What's your name?"

"Ah... Ah Nian."

"Ah Nian, I don't have enough money to save all of you. Fortunately, I saved you." In the following years, this was what Ah Nian heard most often.That lady, named "Li Bai", she saved herself, and she must repay her.Ah Nian kept saying this to herself.

Li Bai is a very good person, she has no pretensions as a lady, and treats Ah Nian like a friend.Ah Nian disliked everyone in the house, except her, and even liked her a little.

After all, this is the only person who treats her well besides elder sister and mother.Ah Nian thought of this in her heart.

Finally, the time has come for the peach blossoms to bloom, and Li Bai likes peach blossoms the most.It was also Li Bai's birthday.Ah Nian wanted to give her a gift.She is not bad at martial arts, her elder sister taught her some rough martial arts skills, and she has been practicing hard all these years, so climbing trees and folding flowers is naturally easy.

Her arms were full of peach blossoms, and she jumped in front of Li Bai.But she didn't see Li Bai, and the housekeeper scolded her severely.

"Do you know what happened in the house? How dare you fold so many beautiful peach blossoms to give to Miss? You are a wolf-hearted girl."

She didn't understand why the housekeeper scolded her so much, but when she looked up, she saw that the house was covered with white silk.Is... someone died?Li Bai will be sad, I'm going to comfort her.Thinking of this, Ah Nian quietly slipped into Li Bai's room.

Li Bai is not there.

Where has she gone?

Ah Nian ran all over the house, but did not see Li Bai.In the evening, she saw many people she didn't know coming back around Li Bai.On Li Bai's face was an expression she had never seen before.Is it...disgusting?That's right, otherwise Li Bai wouldn't be like that.

Ah Nian followed Li Bai to school and learned a lot.So she was sure that Li Bai was not happy.She excitedly went forward with those peach blossoms in her arms, wanting to give Li Bai some comfort.

"You ignorant girl, the master passed away, and you are still picking peach blossoms in the backyard! Kneel down!" That was the voice of the housekeeper.

Ah Nian seemed to understand.She knelt in front of the statue of Li Bai's father in the ancestral hall without saying a word.

This kneeling lasted for three days.

For three days in a row, no one gave her food or drink, and when Ah Nian passed out, no one paid attention to her.It was Miss Li Bai who discovered something was wrong and found her in the ancestral hall.

When she was in a coma, Ah Nian vaguely remembered that her birthday was also at this time.She also remembered that her mother also liked peach blossoms very much.She couldn't wait to pick some peach blossoms for her mother, but she was sold here, her mother's tomb was not here, and she lost her mother's tomb.Thinking of this, Ah Nian broke down in tears.Fortunately, she finally woke up.

But the familiar pain came again.

The butler was beating her again.This is why she hates him.Stewards always like to punish disobedient servants in this way.

"It hurts...it hurts!" Ah Nian couldn't help screaming.Her brow was beaded with sweat.

Jixue woke up.She dreamed that she had a long, long dream, dreaming that she became a girl named Anian.Is this really just a dream?After waking up from the dream, she couldn't help but have doubts.

The voice of Hua Ci came from outside Chaomu Pavilion.

"Jixue, are you alright?"

"It's all right. It was just a nightmare."

From the corner of his eye, Jixue caught a glimpse of the bronze mirror over there, his own eyes in the mirror were red with tears rolling in his sockets.

She washed up quickly and stood outside the door.A lot of time has passed since Qingming Festival, Huaci has been busy these days, and Jixue doesn't see her very often.Today's speech should be to discuss with her some important matters.

"Walk."

Hua Ci only said one word, pulled her and ran towards the back mountain.The breeze blowing all over the road is very cool, blowing away the worries in my heart.

At some point in the back of the mountain, a pear tree was planted.Speaking of which, Jixue's favorite is not the peach blossoms with heavy makeup, but the pear blossoms that are as white as clouds.

"This is..." Jixue was momentarily speechless.Cangzhou is located in the north, and there is actually a pear tree in full bloom.

"I planted this. The pear blossoms here are nourished by my spiritual power, and they will not wither all year round." Hua Ci explained.

"Why..." Why did you bring me here?

Jixue spoke half of what she said, but swallowed the second half.Because Huaci said, "The apricot blossom forest at Xiuyuanmen has been reduced to ashes because of the fire. But it doesn't matter, I planted a pear blossom tree for you again. Let it be...as your birthday present. "

Jixue was stunned.She almost forgot that her birthday was at this time.She couldn't help thinking of that dream again, in which Ah Nian seemed to celebrate her birthday at this time.

The warm wind gently brushed over the fingertips, startling a rain of flowers.The white petals fall with the wind and become the fallen flowers on the roadside, colorful and elegant.

"Thank... thank you." Jixue said after being silent for a long time.

"I... I thought you didn't like it." Hua Ci said.

"How come, I'm just too excited. This pear tree is the first birthday gift I've received in 16 years." Jixue wandered by the pear tree, her voice was as beautiful as the ballad of a god.

Huaci was also stunned.She stared blankly at Jixue's figure, and the voice of that person was in her mind: "Thank you Jiu, this is the first birthday present I received, and I will definitely keep it safe."

That person is Mr. Yuxu.

She smiled like a flower, and in her hand was a rose jade pendant.It's a pity that she didn't take good care of this jade pendant - there was a small crack on the jade pendant.

Now, that jade pendant is hanging on Jixue's waist.

"There is a person who likes pear blossoms as much as you do." When his thoughts returned to reality, Huaci broke off a branch of pear blossoms, which turned into a wreath in his hands.

"Give it to you."

Jixue took the wreath and put it on her head. The wreath was neither big nor small, but it made her feel warm inexplicably.

"Mr. Yuxu also likes pear blossoms?" Jixue said.

"Yeah." Huaci really didn't expect Jixue to be so alert, and she almost knew what she said casually.

What do you know?Do you know that she is Mr. Yuxu?

how is this possible.

Huaci laughed at himself.

……

The territory of the ghost clan, Jiuyou City.

On the stone pillars in the Hall of Rebirth, ghost fires linger.Standing on the right side of the throne was a man in a black priestly robe. He seemed to be in his early 30s. Who would have thought that he was the oldest priest here?

"Priest." A kid with a low eyebrow came in.

"Is there any news about the Ninth Princess?" The priest rubbed his hands on the throne, looking at the gorgeous throne, his eyes were full of desire and ambition.

"Yes. This is given to you by Princess Nine." A letter was handed over to the priest.

The priest opened the envelope, and the letter fell out. There were only two words on the letter: Pixiu.

"brave troops"?Seeing these two words, the priest couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat. "Pixiu" is the name of the elder of the ghost tribe thousands of years ago. After the Ninth Princess ascended the throne, he was skinned and convulsed by the Ninth Princess because of his opposition to the Ninth Princess. His head hung on the city wall for three days and three nights.At that time, Princess Ninth's eyes were blood red, like a ghost crawling out of eighteen hells.Yes, she is a ghost.

This is the warning given to him by the nine princesses.
