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。103Please respect copyright.PENANAlobaAVmTvM
103Please respect copyright.PENANAyUiwUZTwTx
「阿爺!阿娘!」「阿爺!阿娘!」103Please respect copyright.PENANAhoRO96B2Kt

「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。」103Please respect copyright.PENANAxlRf8ydYWb
103Please respect copyright.PENANAvEjuvXLH22
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。103Please respect copyright.PENANAlg4tiowm0t
103Please respect copyright.PENANAKXYb0fO84D
「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。103Please respect copyright.PENANApjNdYs2wNe
103Please respect copyright.PENANA3YdGeZhnzJ
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。103Please respect copyright.PENANAISiiAUOb9w
103Please respect copyright.PENANAsySbDF3UvQ
「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。」103Please respect copyright.PENANAlKyivqZ855
103Please respect copyright.PENANA9Ot3cOSjoJ
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。」103Please respect copyright.PENANA8W4ObRbkAo
103Please respect copyright.PENANA8C6j4v4Npo
「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。
103Please respect copyright.PENANAdnfKA83jCb
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。103Please respect copyright.PENANAY52HMvHzCE
103Please respect copyright.PENANAFwuSYbjw1s
「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。103Please respect copyright.PENANAQppOyFfERb
103Please respect copyright.PENANAFZsyKfAQk2
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。103Please respect copyright.PENANAaWfUhoA5YB
103Please respect copyright.PENANAZVBfQFtPkm
「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。
103Please respect copyright.PENANAFD5HdinLIk
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。
103Please respect copyright.PENANAFqg3EC6kTr
「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。」103Please respect copyright.PENANAnN1M8gwF80
103Please respect copyright.PENANARM4fOUxkmu
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。103Please respect copyright.PENANADlxuSloCZS
103Please respect copyright.PENANA9rMvYZnoc2
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。103Please respect copyright.PENANAnRcwrOvt00
103Please respect copyright.PENANA3DfgrK6j4p
「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。103Please respect copyright.PENANAcuG962PndM
103Please respect copyright.PENANAya4axvYBRs
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?」103Please respect copyright.PENANA8JmXCLkmyP
103Please respect copyright.PENANAIEsYWjxhE4
「回離王,今日好些了呢,方才出來走走。」詠娘代替回答。103Please respect copyright.PENANAI4r9kRP6uc
103Please respect copyright.PENANAc6uGDfhCA7
「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。103Please respect copyright.PENANAPCO2Gf7nuZ
103Please respect copyright.PENANAsoWIfQeryN
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。」103Please respect copyright.PENANACXaeeZP5Um
103Please respect copyright.PENANACthbqit0NJ
「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。」103Please respect copyright.PENANAog2qYURKDw
103Please respect copyright.PENANAKuaHZrCCqP
「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。103Please respect copyright.PENANATodfGmN56v
103Please respect copyright.PENANAJxPq9klR3H
「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。103Please respect copyright.PENANAVzscAIVNeS
103Please respect copyright.PENANAST8M50yoPq
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。
103Please respect copyright.PENANA2jV2nc5xEi
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。
103Please respect copyright.PENANAbqB1xUKV6F
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。103Please respect copyright.PENANAc0nYUhbR6X
103Please respect copyright.PENANAj6zfqY9MKL
「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。
103Please respect copyright.PENANA9biNema7h3
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?」103Please respect copyright.PENANAsgXtUcnrMy
103Please respect copyright.PENANAREdY42W2oM
「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。
103Please respect copyright.PENANAkzYmaTvhZE
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。103Please respect copyright.PENANAdvAVYi7gnp
103Please respect copyright.PENANALgGuCpuoG4
「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。
103Please respect copyright.PENANAbmPtSF8XB5
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。
103Please respect copyright.PENANAeErMnQly69
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。103Please respect copyright.PENANAuyRdMcuOEj
103Please respect copyright.PENANAvz6t0gfVGx
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。
103Please respect copyright.PENANAkoWUVj2w1W
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。
103Please respect copyright.PENANAMnAxWyJ6B8
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。103Please respect copyright.PENANA0yRtfcmhYh
103Please respect copyright.PENANAb4pPfRGnV9
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。103Please respect copyright.PENANACsMABHy1i6
103Please respect copyright.PENANA8BBP6tobj7
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。
103Please respect copyright.PENANA4vhptYhMRN
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。」
103Please respect copyright.PENANAMD7XOe7ESO
審視過她眉心一抹如燭火的紅印,離火也陷入沉思。103Please respect copyright.PENANAOj8mFqvTuS
103Please respect copyright.PENANAdIlT9sAHWX
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。103Please respect copyright.PENANAaWqjT0uyYM
103Please respect copyright.PENANA0GxRyWmgsq
卻是一個即將要扭轉他命運的孩子。103Please respect copyright.PENANAYCcEWISDPX
103Please respect copyright.PENANAS46WM4uSi2
「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。」103Please respect copyright.PENANAAZBozxZ8Vz
103Please respect copyright.PENANAHsas25BHmM
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。」103Please respect copyright.PENANA5oO0GJGKFx
103Please respect copyright.PENANAYEtIuWyZT1
「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。」103Please respect copyright.PENANAPXhPOqonv2
103Please respect copyright.PENANAaeXRfw6SiK
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。
103Please respect copyright.PENANA8HfIlyhfTV
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。103Please respect copyright.PENANAbZDHwGrswc
103Please respect copyright.PENANAcrGwyzGX0p
「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。103Please respect copyright.PENANAvMlB3DecB5
103Please respect copyright.PENANAIPoygKWYaY
「明日開始默寫,我每天都會檢查。」103Please respect copyright.PENANAdy3WTbg65L
103Please respect copyright.PENANAIsUBkKxdpe
「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。103Please respect copyright.PENANAG02l4bwG7c
103Please respect copyright.PENANArea0BeLb9u
「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。」103Please respect copyright.PENANAYQpudeS5po
103Please respect copyright.PENANAGD9Uwvi8In
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。」103Please respect copyright.PENANA51tQBto8tK
103Please respect copyright.PENANAxHkSDQ2kFk
「是。」夜焰得到了離火的應允後,落慌而逃的出了亭子。103Please respect copyright.PENANA9QiG3SpQfP
103Please respect copyright.PENANAVwPloy7WzB
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?103Please respect copyright.PENANAnsDQ6rf8wy
103Please respect copyright.PENANA9cQunomNKm
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。103Please respect copyright.PENANAwoAoXLRjD7
103Please respect copyright.PENANAPn3veMr1t1
「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。103Please respect copyright.PENANAaV5oiCyEWR
103Please respect copyright.PENANAb0IiawNERq
「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。103Please respect copyright.PENANARADPcKfE8J
103Please respect copyright.PENANAFeSM1OPXo2
「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。103Please respect copyright.PENANAI0gw8bz5N1
103Please respect copyright.PENANAaRf2lZMij4
「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?」103Please respect copyright.PENANA2zQGxM7Ces
103Please respect copyright.PENANAh6zNE21Rhc
「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。
