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。546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQ6axffGwV
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKX4iwEJZdj
須臾她向前看去，泛著幽光的蜿蜒長河不知深淺不見盡頭。546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26QLcNkZUr
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlR790K2qWq
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……546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rWFne627O
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl15DzclSxO
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。546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMMp6j9mgQ
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDaNWy1eis
須臾她抬起頭看向百層台階之上那高大宏偉的殿宇。546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyapiFAjB2o
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwh3Clq6Yk
但似乎還有其他的什麽……546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwf6kotX57s
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHEqURZCKv
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。546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7es1qaXSF
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVYT7sEGP8
卻不想趕走了鳥兒緊接著又響起敲門聲。546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqB9dDsAuz
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyXKv3PJnE
「姑娘醒了嗎？」546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtl6mfyjH8
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSKBXDCLko
無人回應。546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoPxWeovCq
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxq1u9ofJwq
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。」546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5qkAEdcQ9
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Wqr2Kh1BR
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。」546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6k8y4uMN6
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtP4y4hs7Y6
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。」546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqImuEjzu3h
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjMrOxo9sJ
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。」546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTOe3tQa8m
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pw8mjbQbm
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。」546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxC8iCI7Zw
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJhNFhfuZs
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。546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1cJX8yGZ9
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5S5wgESmO
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。」546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexWdBKcbYr
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuCUjvQIOK
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。」546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDK2KcxbEv
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65OlwEoH0d
待婢子出了房，女子閉上眼回憶起昨夜夢中的所見——546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5elGMyPI3
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iluUBosVO
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……546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7CzHvdM81
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxltuEeyx0T
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……546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cvygAHS3y
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRZkjIJDzo
但也許會死吧，她沒試過，也萬萬不想。546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPo5OjjRdU
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9gd6lVmdY
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。546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOInHba46xr
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFXZQjfX7D
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。546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNhXdLCBlo
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxl4AZBghO
其實她還挺喜歡這裏的。546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dGpCriM9D
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIolamoPaWM
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。546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtv1lbtOoR
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9a04OY6LR2
是以這次已過兩年，她仍無意離開。546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwySuuVJhLf
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsU8MbHtjL
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。546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRt7EVonB9n
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTA2NlgxFY9
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。546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcJyXFla3a
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDApv2z51YQ
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。546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyINEZhlOpB
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDC4DE5wr04
她著實沒啥興趣，還是睡覺甚合心意。546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbYyUS5Ua0
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvllPicTxhV
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。546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XCuTnPSzW
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqK8rFsAAu
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。546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UwoLV1UVW
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oILBzeG0b
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。546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhXyaBP2A8
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2N7zU3xxRi
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。546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2NMgb8OYt
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdGqGAXcFN
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。546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4IKd5R6mt
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAh82qgEE6l
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。546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JoGkHcjkN
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rgZvO4osO
好吧，她在取名這方面著實沒啥天賦，姑且就這麽叫著。546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JAYoxcICI
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwNESDum2Y
「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。」546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjb3KYvgzD
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnvvgEd8Li
門外又響起一句，是傳話小厮的聲音。546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTp255e253e
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9s0fmR3r0i
「知曉了。」她應道。546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXknrIp2xF
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjCQXXaAHu
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。546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5j7cDYv9m
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dIhvt0oEZ
而延齡的來路是整個雲香閣最爲讓老鸨大惑不解的。546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JPYWOlwpi
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNFsJN0rb1
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。546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQU5z4Zxd0n
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7UlQTczk9
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？546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0IaSS2PEw
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAsgonGKA2
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。546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabQoXg6N9G
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4rmNV1vb9
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。546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22jiP2R1Lb
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnToTUcCn5
但老鸨還是止不住心裏的莫大好奇。546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ911eN9zsba
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxpYJwRDWD
「姑娘怎會想來我雲香閣謀生路？」546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrN2qzhX3W
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhftokhxPVw
「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……」546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrX503HihLd
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5veezwHtX
「便！便便便……」546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxe5hjbQRRj
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuoqvpHdTX
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。546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DvzHWqhpa
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡix6YAFFNg4
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……546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jGcaYO9EB
546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1o8pdFROfq
她不知，也不確定是否有。
