四周一片火光,熊熊烈火燙得人渾身刺痛,遠方有一鮮白的身影伸出手來。小娘子心想莫非是她阿爺,她急忙向他伸手,那人卻漸漸消散。小娘子左右尋不到他身影,急得大喊。93Please respect copyright.PENANAgZeimVPegX
93Please respect copyright.PENANA4x3n6jrHb8
「阿爺!阿娘!」「阿爺!阿娘!」93Please respect copyright.PENANA5ePctLcwd0

「小娘子醒醒,你魘住了,快醒醒。」床邊等候的詠娘,輕搖著滿頭汗、胡亂大喊的小娘子,直到她驚恐的睜眼醒來。「吟娘快來。」93Please respect copyright.PENANA0O15hK3kqn
93Please respect copyright.PENANAsJkAuQ2HtH
一旁的吟娘和詠娘一同攙扶起她,用手上的濕帕巾抹去她汗濕貼在臉上的髮鬢。93Please respect copyright.PENANAdmQs28ZfTe
93Please respect copyright.PENANAWjqogrkOIP
「沒事了沒事了。」詠娘輕拍著她的背部安撫,發現她渾身濕透,可憐這孩子該受了多大的驚嚇。93Please respect copyright.PENANAyKybTCYMLb
93Please respect copyright.PENANAcLGucirxNr
慢慢回神的小娘子環顧四周,層疊垂墜而下的紗幔,精心的在一色荼白中穿插著緋色緞子,透出粉嫩顏色。這樣精緻的屋子,讓她意識到不是在她的家中了。93Please respect copyright.PENANAlLzwjc18Pz
93Please respect copyright.PENANAfNKw9BB0mT
「你去取件新衣裳來,順道命人去把湯粥端來。藥在爐子上備著,用完膳也該吃藥了。」93Please respect copyright.PENANAeMLlwTmTNc
93Please respect copyright.PENANAVPfTiqPl2p
詠娘比吟娘年長,做事也比較穩當。她沒忘宋醫師的叮囑,小娘子一醒來就要餵藥。她吩咐著吟娘,手裡仍輕撫小娘子的背心。「你在離王府中很安全的,別怕啊。」93Please respect copyright.PENANAWccVTK2D5q
93Please respect copyright.PENANAJpD0QJD1Qx
「謝謝。」小娘子驚魂未定卻還是很有禮貌,她眼神空泛吶吶地說。
93Please respect copyright.PENANAsNscKjWdEY
依稀記得她初來那日,離火命人隨身伺候。那日起,詠娘便一直在身邊陪伴。這些日子下來,每每哭醒也都第一眼就見到詠娘。從小只有阿爺阿娘,並沒有別人再待她那麼好。93Please respect copyright.PENANAtkNa03PrgH
93Please respect copyright.PENANAIttfPhkGLb
「傻孩子,說什麼謝呢。」詠娘笑了。她小時也經歷戰事變故,痛失家人是怎樣她最清楚了。傷痛總會過去的,只是得花些時間罷了。93Please respect copyright.PENANAp3sHKUozJS
93Please respect copyright.PENANAaD58ETC2c1
用完晚膳吃過藥後,詠娘見小娘子情緒似乎穩定許多,只是有些悶悶不樂。便主動拉著她去園子裡散心,就著月色到處走走聊聊。93Please respect copyright.PENANAFi9PvmcFtg
93Please respect copyright.PENANADzm3kCwuAv
「這離王府雖然遠在王城近千裡外,但離王畢竟是皇子,山水樓閣都是依照王城規格來修繕的。你看這漢白玉浮雕圍欄還是送了上百名工匠來,才雕製而成。」詠娘道。
93Please respect copyright.PENANAHH28bmyAds
一路上他們倆只有詠娘在說話,小娘子一語不發只是聽。但詠娘依舊沿路說個不停,她心想即便只是聽著,分點心思也就不會胡思亂想了。
93Please respect copyright.PENANAVsakPbATCF
「前面就是鳴翠池,聽老些的宮人說過,離王小時候在這裡抓魚,差點就溺斃了。那時候離王還沒這個欄杆高呢,多虧鄭都護當時一把從腳踝抓起,就這樣倒栽蔥從水裡拔起來。」93Please respect copyright.PENANAVFKvmu5VRU
93Please respect copyright.PENANAcKwbV6Izxj
詠娘說到興起忍不住比劃,小娘子終於不負詠娘期待,輕輕笑出聲。93Please respect copyright.PENANAfxbY33UMPi
93Please respect copyright.PENANAFh7rmjuONf
詠娘看小娘子笑了,覺得努力沒有白費,心裡也不由得開心起來。想來不悶在屋子裡似乎有點效用,叨叨絮絮的又說了許多話,兩人左繞右拐在偌大的林園中走得微微出汗。93Please respect copyright.PENANA0eqB9GShds
93Please respect copyright.PENANA7EgD2LvXPY
「前面不遠有個方亭,我們在那裡歇息一會吧?」詠娘領著人踏上青石階,發現亭子裡早有人坐在那裡。93Please respect copyright.PENANAfFiEBZCz03
93Please respect copyright.PENANA1DVsN4n7jB
離火聽見兩人走來的細語聲,從茶几後抬起頭。今日裡他穿著暗紋禽鳥緋緞圓領袍,在荼白紗幔的圓木柱方亭中,頗有一絲書卷氣。
「見過離王。」詠娘向離火行禮,見一旁的小娘子無措站立,拉了拉她的衣袖。
他輕抬手回應詠娘的行禮,看著怯怯站在斜後方,不知如何行禮的小娘子問道。「好些了?」93Please respect copyright.PENANAFdsFvZKFIX
93Please respect copyright.PENANA50RZ6U3FZ5
「回離王,今日好些了呢,方才出來走走。」詠娘代替回答。93Please respect copyright.PENANALaomr6DqMf
93Please respect copyright.PENANAqa3p2i2tnL
「是嗎?」離火問。詠娘再要說點什麼,卻發現從頭至尾離火的眼睛,只一瞬不瞬直盯著背後的小娘子,彷彿在同她一人交談。93Please respect copyright.PENANAEm2HJsM35W
93Please respect copyright.PENANASooS3ByHO9
詠娘沒有近身伺候過離火,但她很小就在王府,也是一個有眼色的人。她看著一桌子的茶具,沒有半樣點心佐茶。「詠娘下去吩咐一些點心。」93Please respect copyright.PENANAWjzoQmGJ9f
93Please respect copyright.PENANAYLRDOnIF0z
「去吧。」離火眼神不曾離開過始終低著頭的小娘子,好一會兒才垂手比劃了身邊的空位,示意對方坐下。「這裡就你我二人,不必拘束。」93Please respect copyright.PENANAOeTsR79iWo
93Please respect copyright.PENANAxUSSnicRi1
「你曾說你叫夜焰,是哪兩個字?」離火手拿茶則取茶末入釜,開始自顧自慢條斯理的煮茶。93Please respect copyright.PENANAYzww7opdKk
93Please respect copyright.PENANAR3q1Al5BqY
「回離王,阿爺一直這樣叫我,沒說是哪個字,夜焰沒上過學也不會寫。」夜焰學著印象中詠娘的回話,但她既沒學過也不懂王府規矩,心中既彆扭又害怕。93Please respect copyright.PENANADS5MLcxw5z
93Please respect copyright.PENANARiRRpYco9T
原本她就在山野農村裡長大,與外界接觸甚少。進到王府中沒有半個熟人,已經感覺陌生不安。
93Please respect copyright.PENANAA3YiS2DvH7
好不容易有一個熟悉的詠娘,偏偏她又走開了,獨留自己一人。
93Please respect copyright.PENANAyCl489osMM
面對離火這樣天生貴氣的人,夜焰顯得窘迫侷促。她擰著纏繞手邊的飄帛長絲帶,眼睛不敢離開桌子。93Please respect copyright.PENANA4XN43QnB40
93Please respect copyright.PENANA8fpU3dS5Du
「那我給你選字可好?」離火手持雀飾銀茶匙,輕輕拂去滾燙茶湯上的沫子,悠閒等著夜焰回答,但半天等不到夜焰的回答。
93Please respect copyright.PENANAJSurRTDN8u
他抬眼,面前這人的頭都要埋進桌子,看來好像很害怕他。離火突然有些惡趣味,眉目含笑揚起尾音用近乎撒嬌討好的音調詢問。「嗯?」93Please respect copyright.PENANAXA7Dm52gDp
93Please respect copyright.PENANALC4upvVBvv
「好。」夜焰用幾不可聞的聲音回答,她視線所及只有自己攢著的拳頭,和快把指頭擰斷的飄帶。
93Please respect copyright.PENANA2uGvCLOloO
她是真的有點怕這離王,即使他算是自己的救命恩人,但他有種讓人不能直視的威嚴。93Please respect copyright.PENANArPYkdGHUrE
93Please respect copyright.PENANAZAypsUNOqY
「你是不是怕我啊?」離火明知故問。不知道是不是覺得好玩故意逗弄,乾脆移動位置坐到了夜焰身邊。
93Please respect copyright.PENANARRKbgXIX3o
他湊近看夜焰髮絲淩亂下的耳垂,紅得差不多要滴出血來了。見她大氣不敢喘的模樣,離火鼻息間輕輕哼笑出聲。
93Please respect copyright.PENANAwfYJElf7nz
夜焰聽見離火的輕笑近在耳邊,下意識偏過頭看。兩人就這樣四目相對、兩個鼻尖只相距一個拳頭。93Please respect copyright.PENANATg6d0gaKkv
93Please respect copyright.PENANAIaGr7o9SfI
離火凝視夜焰怔住的眼睛,清澈黑白分明的眼神如此無辜。視線游移到夜焰眉心上的火焰狀紅印,離火目光閃爍。
93Please respect copyright.PENANA6VjtnhgE36
夜焰才看清楚離火的長相,初見時他身穿金光甲冑面覆黑巾,拿著一把長刀很是嚇人。
93Please respect copyright.PENANAvmPIu0FxWq
再來總是聽身邊人離王離王的叫他,知道他的權貴身份,心裏的膽怯到了極致,根本不敢再正眼瞧他。93Please respect copyright.PENANAJUqJA3RvfA
93Please respect copyright.PENANA06mIOaF8yo
今天再看這個離王,真的是極好看,是夜焰從未見過的俊美。他眼裡的明亮彷若燦爛星光,墨畫一樣的濃眉微微上揚,顯得英氣昂揚。93Please respect copyright.PENANAVZYQpqz0o0
93Please respect copyright.PENANAH08jGP4URv
小小的夜焰像一臉沒見識的孩子,被離火的長相所震懾。她已經完全忘了怕,怔怔地盯著離火,彷彿正用眼睛把他的臉蛋畫下來。
93Please respect copyright.PENANASSaUYpDxyu
離火目光游移回夜焰看呆了的雙眸,唇角微微彎起嘉許地說。「這就是了,我又不咬人。」
93Please respect copyright.PENANAXD47cYlTOd
審視過她眉心一抹如燭火的紅印,離火也陷入沉思。93Please respect copyright.PENANAqHSInt1Cta
93Please respect copyright.PENANAvtRMIU572H
這三年為了找她,自己幾乎是瘋魔了。如今一看,說是美人似乎言過其實,不過就是一個孩子。93Please respect copyright.PENANA89CtNBHiDS
93Please respect copyright.PENANAyECVtYke0E
卻是一個即將要扭轉他命運的孩子。93Please respect copyright.PENANAAvOc5NKLTv
93Please respect copyright.PENANAopSFEjhJRV
「來。」離火舀了一匙茶湯倒在桌上,用手指蘸了轉為微溫的茶水,以指頭代筆的在桌上一筆一畫寫字。「夜月煮茶方亭裏,鎏金釜下生彩焰。」93Please respect copyright.PENANAVRhCZ7pFru
93Please respect copyright.PENANAyd3530ER18
離火用濕透的手指輕點了頭尾兩字,蒼勁有力的字跡旁留下圓圓的印子。「夜、焰。」93Please respect copyright.PENANAWiHnpn1cQA
93Please respect copyright.PENANAiBMu7xc1yh
「我教你識字吧,從你名字開始。」離火執起夜焰因爲呆愕,已經停止絞扭飄帛的手。「坐過去點。」93Please respect copyright.PENANADVki948dWv
93Please respect copyright.PENANAkJh9lGThXR
兩人一起輕輕往旁邊移,夜焰聞到了離火身上飄散出的香氣,他手覆在夜焰手上,以她的指尖為筆。
93Please respect copyright.PENANAFcedAx000h
不知是離火的掌心太溫熱,抑或是兩人離爐火太近了些,方才退去的薄汗又重新爬上夜焰的雙鬢。她想專心學寫字,離火身上的好聞氣味卻又不時讓她分心。93Please respect copyright.PENANAdM4JKkNPzZ
93Please respect copyright.PENANANrc4ZwXM5Q
「這裡勾起來。」離火說話時,氣息拂弄著夜焰的髮絲,癢癢的。亭子裡的微風暫時都停止了,只剩離火教字時的鼻息,尚在夜焰耳邊吹拂。93Please respect copyright.PENANAkN95I0sAX8
93Please respect copyright.PENANATI0Do72Skv
「明日開始默寫,我每天都會檢查。」93Please respect copyright.PENANAbrJ761G6hK
93Please respect copyright.PENANACIewivkIsg
「知,知道了。」夜焰縮回猶濕的手指,隨著離火坐回茶釜邊原先位子,亭子裡靜止的微風,才又輕巧流轉起來。93Please respect copyright.PENANAXT7G1Wcxxj
93Please respect copyright.PENANAYhzWnZAU4k
「服侍的人說,那日之事你還記不周全。」隨著溫熱的茶湯緩緩流入琉璃盞中,透明的杯盞透出琥珀色澤。離火擺好茶釜,專心舉起杯盞欣賞,像是在和茶說話。「好好調養身體。」93Please respect copyright.PENANA7CJ9g2v7R3
93Please respect copyright.PENANADJYpEqDUjo
夜焰一時之間不知道該不該回答,離火啜了一口茶,不等夜焰給出答案,只向她微微一笑。「去歇息吧。」93Please respect copyright.PENANApviA3s28Ot
93Please respect copyright.PENANALdf3Kvzoq4
「是。」夜焰得到了離火的應允後,落慌而逃的出了亭子。93Please respect copyright.PENANA1eFXwZ0YJo
93Please respect copyright.PENANABo77pJ6ZFr
看著夜焰飛也似離開的背影,離火收起了微笑。他需要這小娘子記起受難那夜的事,對她是不是有些許殘忍?93Please respect copyright.PENANAUCHpJdhenm
93Please respect copyright.PENANAgsz2EzTvxM
在園子裡一陣奔逃後,夜焰在百轉千迴的亭台樓閣裡迷路了。最後還是詠娘帶人來尋,才順利把她撿回來。93Please respect copyright.PENANA7kOAXNvi5f
93Please respect copyright.PENANAt9VyFz3abR
「你跑哪去了?不是和離王在亭子裡喝茶嗎?」詠娘送點心回去時,誰也沒瞧見,只留下一桌子茶具,杯中茶都沒喝完。她急得不得了,差點沒把王府翻過來。93Please respect copyright.PENANA2MEA1SpQ0x
93Please respect copyright.PENANAuEvXqVa8HZ
「是他讓我回來。」面對詠娘的詢問,夜焰像被母親責罵的小孩,天知道她可是一杯茶也沒喝到,還在山一樣的園子轉不出去,心裏無限委屈。93Please respect copyright.PENANAy1j5ao6r7x
93Please respect copyright.PENANAnA8r8gKgfR
「行了,下次你要在那裡等我,哪也不能去,知道嗎?」詠娘幫夜焰理好頭髮,剛剛在園子撿回她時,這孩子跑得頭髮亂澎澎的。93Please respect copyright.PENANAbwO6rKBUiD
93Please respect copyright.PENANAZLuiQYT1xA
「知道了。」夜焰對詠娘露出笑容,她覺得詠娘真像她阿娘。「詠娘,你以後別叫我小娘子了,叫我夜焰好嗎?」93Please respect copyright.PENANAW6TOd6XUNy
93Please respect copyright.PENANATXio2dpAwB
「什麼都行,只要你好好的就行。」詠娘看著夜焰有了笑容也感到欣慰,她年紀還小,或許剛剛那麼鬧一齣,能暫時忘掉離家喪親的難過也好。
