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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLBHrIyYT1
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3janug8loG
須臾她向前看去，泛著幽光的蜿蜒長河不知深淺不見盡頭。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdnESCFgge
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KlKQBgECL
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……450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05OZkaY28b
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyu1YGO04EF
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pEY0fSBb0
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtbQ6P2pCq
須臾她抬起頭看向百層台階之上那高大宏偉的殿宇。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7CAN4xOPb
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkitRdk8uG
但似乎還有其他的什麽……450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLtDvlmqSf
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0qNvFMcal
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbCeV7CQFg
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixH0iMlmc7
卻不想趕走了鳥兒緊接著又響起敲門聲。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKe7miPNN6
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJC04U283P
「姑娘醒了嗎？」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1knFyDbQS
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaUzznStZ9
無人回應。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjNhZXTp4m
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwNzoR2Pqb
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。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHblSbEN1uS
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBGdoMlE3q
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。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfQAM3WTn8
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKdwEKwcq3
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。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaET7gePZP3
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF11QKsryDX
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。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJGgsbOOGH
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoRzFEIL3t
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。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9Z6nRNXxM
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NyinDrPMT
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedd0s0JLvP
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGI5lOcyxoI
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。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cxPvA5qGh
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVJQRGGAUy
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。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXu6zcc1Df5
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2txxsw2qXU
待婢子出了房，女子閉上眼回憶起昨夜夢中的所見——450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yHrsPrCuA
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYsgdQFBDe
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……450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡritVEiExFZ
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH71zVIJ2yB
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……450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NVPurGIv0
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPhugIe4XV
但也許會死吧，她沒試過，也萬萬不想。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCgXNJcbyU
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknlc6PiZdA
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡed0A0x4ady
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iu3K3n1Wv
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWx20jnFIVr
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOiu051SJ3
其實她還挺喜歡這裏的。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5scwxGqEw
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOmQq3DLWi
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHE438ZH1B
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzAroy4GRP
是以這次已過兩年，她仍無意離開。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooySjvRM09
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lYBubH2lb
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbTA7J5wXE
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlo5vaNzoKl
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncaYz9ItRS
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYYY5iO6UB
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCe8UUANt0E
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2r2b5TkKW
她著實沒啥興趣，還是睡覺甚合心意。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYIZnoecH2
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1VtN2KK53
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3df8oLBDL
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKbgKXRUIO
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl90Y5wUWce
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwt4KJZqv6t
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFcKtfQ6pu
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dafjiKTji
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyLb9c5Ebj
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwVlyUjyM7
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rsleCu9vM
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDGoIX0LDd
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInbobDYPDK
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhsrWrbGFU
好吧，她在取名這方面著實沒啥天賦，姑且就這麽叫著。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uLPkU8Pwh
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DwuQC3TQZ
「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。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglrUap08mm
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdwqHRH6VA
門外又響起一句，是傳話小厮的聲音。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0YhTHZ2p2
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBCCFoUhKB
「知曉了。」她應道。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5R9ung5k9
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZDb0rF2Xc
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlOqWNjNif
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yCAbzNQHr
而延齡的來路是整個雲香閣最爲讓老鸨大惑不解的。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFlJsrAuhQ
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1R9Zie0Uh1
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz34KKsVbz2
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx44MCyBMTq
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？450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSTgFEHxLx
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyBVKmjJBk
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpXl9aLwhS
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOXpITJftq
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqOmbiv8ie
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShArUmRLUS
但老鸨還是止不住心裏的莫大好奇。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnECvyLmKV
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVJKuYocNA
「姑娘怎會想來我雲香閣謀生路？」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2bvHl1U5w
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJI4Fh2COV
「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……」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4Fl01aKJ6
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN08YdKJYeM
「便！便便便……」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwKhLQs4Rr
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TZcGiRrhO
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsriUgSYORt
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4917dKbbl
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……450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWt3BTK1x2
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNl1Dgmcltv
她不知，也不確定是否有。
