浩瀚無邊的天空中星辰璀璨，極光如練，一身淡色簡便絲綢長衫的女子倚坐在天然的石椅上，將光著的腳探入水裏，前後搖晃著，蕩起一層一層波紋。461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimA29TLtzg
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JEeMQTr9m
須臾她向前看去，泛著幽光的蜿蜒長河不知深淺不見盡頭。461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9yITTrN3P
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXloVBqwBCO
她似乎這般坐著持續了好久好久，除了幾個肢體動作亦不聞話語不變神態……461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuzQAWYJdU
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2t2EGWIBX
接著畫面一轉，飄落如雪的櫻桃花下，女子穿著同樣的衣衫坐在突出地面的樹根上，光著的腳將地上的落花掃成一堆，再勻勻順開，再掃成一堆……似乎這樣的動作亦循環了多次持續了好久好久。461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcyYpeke8W
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4oEECjXBu
須臾她抬起頭看向百層台階之上那高大宏偉的殿宇。461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDI281vw3ub
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sfxvPfMyl
但似乎還有其他的什麽……461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt70sefZWfn
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01n9SogiSH
窗邊的麻雀聲不絕于耳，床上之人從被窩裏伸出一只手，彈了一指法術出去，把那些吵鬧的鳥兒趕得一只不剩，接著把手又縮回被窩裏，繼續蒙頭大睡。461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vnGwdj1ff
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6UrTrpPOW
卻不想趕走了鳥兒緊接著又響起敲門聲。461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6ZcM4oxwb
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkwO8y011j
「姑娘醒了嗎？」461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTdR2xUZAM
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUX3ycCRK7
無人回應。461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrnuCgjLNw
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmGzVbhz4N
門外的婢子等了一會兒，才又接連喚道：「姑娘？姑娘？姑娘莫要貪睡了，流雲苑新到了一批雲霧绡，媽媽讓您去挑幾匹做褙子和襦裙，銀子已經付過了。」461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrCSV0JzFb
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8tRGPIgvE
床上的人深深歎了一口氣，無奈掀開身上的暖被窩，雙眼無神地看著紗帳，聲音有些幹啞：「我曉得了。」461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDC2E8pIEOE
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MsaI3ITGL
婢子聽到回應後推了門進來，把手裏端的水盆放在了床邊的架子上，再一邊把紗帳挽起來一邊道：「今兒個天氣不錯，等挑完料子，奴陪您去街市逛逛吧。」461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRsPV6Ex3t
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dyiQkKGHA
女子坐起身，敷衍地點點頭，走到妝台前照入銅鏡裏的還是一副慵懶面容惺忪睡眼，聽她道：「其實我覺得你的眼光比我好，不如你去幫我挑罷，天氣甚好適合睡覺，我就不出去了，左邊的抽屜裏還有些碎銀，你拿去買點喜歡的東西。」461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOD0g1LqQNF
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VjenfRsvi
婢子却皺起了眉，銀子她雖喜歡，可今日這料子是媽媽特意交代了的，耽誤不得，「奴自己去能搶到才怪，隔壁的姐姐些哪能讓給奴，姑娘切莫再推卻，再晚去就只能挑剩的了。」461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zvhoXWI3c
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1jnm6rjEj
不容主子萬般不願，婢子熟稔地給女子紮起一個簡單的側髻，再插上一只銀白色扇形步搖。461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrQpIyRnN0
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDT8abc1kZQ
這回籠覺怕是睡不回去了，女子只得無奈道：「黃姑，你先出去罷，待我洗漱完換身衣衫。」461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ497vNWjeeB
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOO5E9BL5zM
婢子放下牛角梳，再把步搖調正了些，才道：「那姑娘快些，奴在樓下等您。」461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6q0OmAEGNx
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKcS5Mokyx
待婢子出了房，女子閉上眼回憶起昨夜夢中的所見——461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZbfrX3VTZ
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI978uCUsOX
夢中的人是誰？那又是什麽地方？為什麼在夢裡除了那女子不見其他人……461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvp8ueyN6wd
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhogrlOgO0
其實她亦不知自己從何處來，也不知自己要去往何處，只知自己與常人不同，不會餓，不會渴，不會老，不會病……461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pHOplGOTz
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCmFzHyyiR
但也許會死吧，她沒試過，也萬萬不想。461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QyMSzjXAt
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoosxvWe52
唯一又很平常的是，她愛睡覺，一整天大部分時間都可以賴在床上，對她來說這世間沒有比床更舒服的所在了。461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPhvImRTrO
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhuR5Oc1fj
這些年她漫無目的行了很多路，呆過很多地方：深宮大院、平常人家、武林門派、仙山道觀……輾轉多年，停停走走，現如今留在了這受世人鄙夷的煙花之地。461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ940IV9eTBa
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0cp1eRzrC
其實她還挺喜歡這裏的。461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgosoPJcr16
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzONqtPZpX
床大又軟，漂亮且舒服，生活中沒那麽多規矩，不用早起練功，不用幹活受累，沒有勾心鬥角，沒有經文繞耳……每天還能聽到南來北往的尋花客所說的新鮮事，甚是新奇有趣。461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4MTCpOnqc
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuXPotefPy
是以這次已過兩年，她仍無意離開。461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3jYAtHhIp
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1LqjmQ8IY
她想自己應該是個仙人或者山精妖怪之類的，純熟的法術能信手拈來。461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyF7OWphHfk
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJIYNEqE0B
每天就靠著這稀裏糊塗的本事擋掉各種對她圖謀不軌的客人，還隱藏得無聲無息，全然無人發現她的怪異。461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8x0Trz1xJ
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxr2HDuG9T
風月場所的男女情事她雖從未接觸，但見得不少，左右不過吃吃唇上的胭脂，再入房翻雲覆雨一番。461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzXCzJeSjp
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqdQ70JIPD
她著實沒啥興趣，還是睡覺甚合心意。461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ygWnvtIfO
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrTa7EyksY
幸得自己生了一副謂之清冷絕豔的面容，讓她每天只是在前廳台子上或站或坐一刻鍾，就能讓媽媽的荷包股脹起來。461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQmZPOEWX7
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMGEYIpNbg
即便是輕紗遮面，那些留著哈喇子的尋花客依舊肯慷慨解囊。461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZ6BL7griz
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyz0nsRLdwy
媽媽告訴她：男人就是這樣，越得不到越覺得寶貝，在得到你之前，多少銀子都肯花在你身上。461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHFPG07Xom
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlxtpSbnXu
當然銀子花了，務必是要給一些回報的，所以就有了千金摘紗，萬金入房之說。461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVctm7OP4Se
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpYq6uXqrA
這齊胥國最不缺的就是商賈大戶，因此她面上的紗摘過不少回了，倒不是什麽爲難之事，至于入房，也是不少回，自是都被她用法術給坑騙了回去，自己亦從未吃過虧。461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Uz2tWSGWH
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBpOp29GEY
那伺候她的婢子是老鸨從西市奴隸販子那買來的，她給取了個名字喚做：黃姑。是因那丫頭皮膚蠟黃是個姑娘。461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJcuBhEukI
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACBn12rCoh
好吧，她在取名這方面著實沒啥天賦，姑且就這麽叫著。461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOr2g1jhilw
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeRZUSZcKe
「延齡姑娘，媽媽去西市買米了，一時半會兒回不來，媽媽怕您應付不來，晚些時候就不用去前廳了，待媽媽回來再說。」461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMVa0RaaeI
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHlo3RDEn6
門外又響起一句，是傳話小厮的聲音。461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvW0WoSLi9I
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3UiJLZnKH
「知曉了。」她應道。461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bsAeTGr4P
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVtMPYb1G4
西市買米是這裏的暗語，老鸨常年和西市的奴隸販子打交道，有啥好貨色都先留下，待老鸨挑剩了再入市出售。461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mYlLZtKmv
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKcxFZ7aRl
而延齡的來路是整個雲香閣最爲讓老鸨大惑不解的。461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJW9EVJ02aY
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbWrCP7fZP
想老鸨做這行也超過二十年了，這還是頭一遭遇到女子主動要入閣做花娘的。461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLvjQCIYFn
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wGzmNh6LT
看此女穿得體面不像落魄之人，膚質細嫩，白裏透紅，要說是大戶人家小姐也不爲過，長相更是人間難得，難不成是隔壁千芳樓派來的臥底？461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnT3roLDnX
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhRiyYxYVI
可如此佳人又豈有拒絕之理，你會把白花花的銀子丟到河裏？要真是臥底，那千芳樓的老鸨怕是腦子進了水。461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9R559nmNc
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjkA9tk40G
所以管她什麽來路，什麽目的呢，這株搖錢樹不請進門也是腦子進水。461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLXR7HqIAb
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORwTkHDTXd
但老鸨還是止不住心裏的莫大好奇。461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7497yTGccn
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeOqpN8He3
「姑娘怎會想來我雲香閣謀生路？」461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsgEex4zKS
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbzWxHoyp1
「人多熱鬧，食飽睡暖。」女子的眼神透著清明不似唬人：「如若不便……」461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXB8V5nZGDa
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdMN1sC5Bi
「便！便便便……」461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFSU4ZACSH
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSxq8s09I6
理由雖牽強可也讓人無法反駁，想來這世上人多熱鬧，能吃飽睡暖，不用幹活不用花錢還能賺錢的地方也尋不著第二處了。461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyfhQweERI
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjvjmIlFmp
再說這「延齡」二字，是她看著路旁開了三片花瓣的延齡草隨口給自己取的名字，至于原本的名字……461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5cmPHEwAB
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnq5wLmjSzm
她不知，也不確定是否有。
