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。514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikkQfKz9ZS
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaBDwN4NpY
須臾她向前看去，泛著幽光的蜿蜒長河不知深淺不見盡頭。514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1box5MK4qL
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKH7t4zN4Ee
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……514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUylNgC6ca
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hU2qOLmUJ
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。514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7YAcSkuii
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagPGKxqZtI
須臾她抬起頭看向百層台階之上那高大宏偉的殿宇。514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AGEMKHkkH
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznSYRBm1VS
但似乎還有其他的什麽……514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnE16ZhQw2X
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ301ftKRjXd
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。514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHOE6ShxBJ
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuaVvMqsfw
卻不想趕走了鳥兒緊接著又響起敲門聲。514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCYXrNF8to
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCzf3ZamdD
「姑娘醒了嗎？」514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlwQMbMn7P
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFQ1DykzN7
無人回應。514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TpDiRAiEi
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2FjWrYA52
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。」514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVREGQra4l
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVWDmdvVYs
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。」514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklX9tCoUOZ
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRiWpH8joa
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。」514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjweuMVsBIO
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRcKyvRjop
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。」514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSW9WoFQSgZ
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxPq0p2A4L
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。」514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngWQ1X6ebM
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9E5paDSmmL
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。514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgp4H9QbxnP
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5I1jrTugE6
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。」514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQRDq25rAK
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOd52LlfwN
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。」514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzTS4r1FLm
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUQiPthyUZ
待婢子出了房，女子閉上眼回憶起昨夜夢中的所見——514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPwHGdvOsU
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaRJNYxEHn
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……514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDYw85M5Ad
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EudWnxxNk
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……514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yRi7peSUZ
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vNdc3h8rP
但也許會死吧，她沒試過，也萬萬不想。514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUsgpgHfZH
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHS6QMfq1JP
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。514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptXb3ex13a
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4w9Q7CB5vS
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。514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATrP66TXNs
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpAogKQefG
其實她還挺喜歡這裏的。514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZaVSeSmza
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkcbDpYqEE
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。514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpDI41zUnl
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP36xegogk3
是以這次已過兩年，她仍無意離開。514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfPBg2JkY9
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVahb4Tx13
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。514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RnbVfYirc
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxgHwPPfQS
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。514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmaMHYIsOq
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjj4dsjv8V
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。514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsgtYV0ZW7
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1jgAWYFHE
她著實沒啥興趣，還是睡覺甚合心意。514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOJ8sbS8sN
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbTPBOCetX
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。514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvrHPs0WPh
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NPxCxKtsB
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。514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uvlKa7eGS
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkhOgPGUxf
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。514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaE3xZu9KU
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShpOPL3M4u
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。514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccKHZnDrW9
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGXg3KJOI9
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。514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Oam5iuzva
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpUbHEpf9l
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。514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblJiMysQuM
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpG7rMMa2X
好吧，她在取名這方面著實沒啥天賦，姑且就這麽叫著。514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtKmcCom0K
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3WuBf988q
「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。」514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgLFoc1RhP
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZpnF2Q8mq
門外又響起一句，是傳話小厮的聲音。514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdp2yOdHDne
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKWJSOWlCH
「知曉了。」她應道。514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlNAzLMP1e
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqVVpgx9yR
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。514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBUXIeSnib
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuToDV0dXXG
而延齡的來路是整個雲香閣最爲讓老鸨大惑不解的。514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqonuRFNNpN
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKodvLP9ZdD
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。514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhcTdgTxcx
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3mNEhKecp
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？514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6UfKy8uqI
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlX8GfW0uk
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。514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99QsvxRbjN
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBW61dLUr7C
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。514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxItmfKxwjA
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kzbo69n9p
但老鸨還是止不住心裏的莫大好奇。514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIvj3pxV2L
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Cd2rP4NoA
「姑娘怎會想來我雲香閣謀生路？」514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOmBmvtKm3
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11Pbw0coa3
「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……」514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS31EuMCSif
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnFhxGSjgg
「便！便便便……」514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5yRmsn81x
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmsEyZve0U
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。514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jLoamn9am
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dETVhujqb
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……514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Qnc8CNpmI
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrKuqImeKd
她不知，也不確定是否有。
