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。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJPyvz8p4l
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkX7fJoYPq9
須臾她向前看去，泛著幽光的蜿蜒長河不知深淺不見盡頭。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4We2r4wXM
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBF8IvpvkIj
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……515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTOKjUEXgG
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FyULQK4Mx
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。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAGno7AuWK
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCYY0DeOta
須臾她抬起頭看向百層台階之上那高大宏偉的殿宇。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XA3HLoVz2
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQGjUOP1sV
但似乎還有其他的什麽……515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxNxXNnvoN
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ugVmouCWG
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。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2uxjHAUxo
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1paLscClQe
卻不想趕走了鳥兒緊接著又響起敲門聲。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzkPibZWp9
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweOW6LbCdy
「姑娘醒了嗎？」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfa5pzkh8W
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oIXwr7zfc
無人回應。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zVAeHgQAT
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjXhHLJ5FS
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。」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFvaqHPzFx
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Q37OnAem3
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。」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgWOQ7GvdQ
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgHC4mbtN1
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。」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAn0nlVBXx1
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8TxzqBZOQ
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。」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzvgKm2ZQT
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75oWfikvj8
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。」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvQniyRl1B
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjsFH1kaHY
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。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lZ35Gwoth
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGQq1k96HV
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。」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWW5Rsia4Is
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9MZb0x6F2
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。」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnZNfBmd7R
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aGNr2XQiU
待婢子出了房，女子閉上眼回憶起昨夜夢中的所見——515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccuQSjtnzf
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuqPherEKc
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……515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJhaJ6fVpL
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwX6KP8gMf
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……515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwvWvUr6za
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxChB6Ngvb
但也許會死吧，她沒試過，也萬萬不想。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELonGB9xOL
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEAABdgRsx
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。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZDyk64nwz
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCYmgkWnbh
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。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6D6J3Eil1S
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2z0mgZkUC
其實她還挺喜歡這裏的。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBl21rQDEw
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLQKluXsKi
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。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqArPUJ1MFg
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeyac7hqx4
是以這次已過兩年，她仍無意離開。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Rut0jPpWj
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOs4iquaDl
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。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROqsXAsvrg
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfAAjEAD8p
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。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotAjWeN3I7
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQygBIJg35l
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。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqP6xu3m6t3
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jlwZiMYRc
她著實沒啥興趣，還是睡覺甚合心意。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRne6UJzB4
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7RG1aJtfn
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。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKwkHwC9xg
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPY9hC6WMVz
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。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszZ7CSJis7
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxj3OVB2Lqx
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。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVC30X9IX6
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXlzHyRFN3
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。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxN7jYvKHr
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVQ4S5Y5r4
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。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fF8k5tyIC
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApqFgOTS8N
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。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXzGygm7oL
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OTlkefOgw
好吧，她在取名這方面著實沒啥天賦，姑且就這麽叫著。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6MOXNCi0g
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXevm8j6Yl
「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。」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehcWf6BjMV
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SJiwfNXtk
門外又響起一句，是傳話小厮的聲音。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFde6VJcG1
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWyOocOOTH
「知曉了。」她應道。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdX0aqd0HaY
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeo5FZjCAlN
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。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChNQhpSBa1
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4pBIBdl2e
而延齡的來路是整個雲香閣最爲讓老鸨大惑不解的。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5eHKdcVx5
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkAgUHWhHh
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。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImRiOwtsGt
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggyzFZ5W8s
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？515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtOdVFdoXY
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbRq4rk7PT
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。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKgKAYjQU0
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76r6x1cXd5
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。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QiCDvlySy
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OTh1iLUm3
但老鸨還是止不住心裏的莫大好奇。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTehy746UQi
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8W8WbURlM
「姑娘怎會想來我雲香閣謀生路？」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rC4teCof8
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqY0KEQznD
「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……」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyjNlj8otW
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxl2YOsiGnw
「便！便便便……」515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyZJ0RiHuA
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSBzJBtzWC
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。515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHAGntDcAx
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgLsp8b7C2
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……515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAudaSrw5g
515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFgaTBvYKt
她不知，也不確定是否有。
