book of ten thousand words

I am the daughter of Hanlin editor Jin Dingwen.

Although I don't live in the Jin family's mansion at Shenwumen; although the Jin family has never recognized me; but I am indeed Jin Dingwen's daughter, and the only daughter.

He gave me a name, Jin Chuange.

Before I was ten years old, my mother and I lived in an alley far away from Jin's house.

The name of the alley is very nice, Mianhua Hutong.

The cotton that is not cotton is the cotton that "there are few willows blowing on the branches, and there is no fragrant grass anywhere in the world".There is indeed a row of tall willow trees in the alley.In late spring, there will be many willows blowing from the trees... The small courtyard seems to be full of white catkins all year round.There are many women in the mansion, but my mother doesn't compete with anyone, doesn't care whether she has a son, or even whether my father often visits us.She just lives silently at the end of the alley, living her life quietly like Yang Hua.It seems that in this world, there is nothing more important than the life in this yard...

There are only so many memories about my mother now, which are vague and incoherent.To be honest, with just such a few fragments of memory, it is impossible to piece together a complete and rich mother-I must admit that I have never had the opportunity to know and understand this woman.What I can still know now is that, after all, the sky fails to fulfill people's wishes.Such a person who is indifferent to the world, such a desire to be indifferent to the world, God did not let her come true.

One winter, Jin Dingwen never came back after going to court.At that time, there was a case in the imperial court that was raging, and the emperor was in a bad mood, so my father was convicted because of a word of intercession.The emperor was furious in court and put him in prison.The building has collapsed, and the good life of the Jin family has come to an end.We, mother and daughter, have been separated from the Jin family for many years, and we were safe and sound.But my mother changed her plain temper - I said I didn't understand her - and stopped eating or drinking.Only then did I know that she and my father had such a deep relationship, and I also knew that she was worried about letting my father go to the outside of the customs as a crime.The never-ending longing hurts the body the most.The winter that year was extremely cold, and it didn't take long for her body to collapse.The Jin family who had been assigned had not yet gone outside Shanhaiguan, and before the spring of the following year really came, she passed away in a small alley.

On the third day after my mother left, the only earthquake in the Kangxi period occurred in the capital.The earthquake knocked down many houses, but also knocked down many family relationships.I suddenly ran out of people who were willing to adopt me... It's not their fault.The daughter of a criminal minister, who was born as a concubine, shouldn't have come to a good end.

The person who didn't want me to cry, didn't want me to suffer, so in the end there was only the nanny who was not related to the Jin family, but brought me up by herself.She said, "Ge'er, if I have a bite to eat, I won't treat you badly in the future." She also said, "After burying your mother, I will take you back to Suzhou. My daughter and son-in-law are doing a small business there to make a living." Although it is not a rich family, it is not a problem for the two of us to have enough food and clothing. When you grow up, I will marry you into a good family."

That's what her old man said, and she really planned to do so.

It's a pity that man's calculation is not as good as heaven's calculation.Such a simple and kind person, such a simple and kind wish, God did not let her fulfill it.Not long after I arrived in Suzhou, my nanny passed away, and her son-in-law sold me to a family raising lean horses. "Skinny horses" are not horses, "skinny horses" are people, and they are all very young girls.As for the people who raised skinny horses...they were human traffickers that could be seen everywhere in that era.A groom who fattens a horse can sell it for a good price.It's the same if these people carefully train a good girl.If he meets a wealthy family again, he can simply make a fortune, enough to eat for half his life.

I was lucky to be sold here instead of some other dirty place.Because of this, even though he lost his freedom, life was not too embarrassing.It can even be said that apart from the fate of being sold in the future, it is actually not much different from the life of a lady.In recent years, piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, wine, tea ceremony, singing, dancing... everything has been taught by the master wholeheartedly, and I am willing to learn it wholeheartedly.I really like these things, so the days when Girls' Generation was up for grabs were not without a little fun.

Besides, I also know pearls.Pearl was also originally a northerner.One year, when there was a flood in my hometown, my brother took her to beg and fled to Suzhou, where he sold her.She is one year younger than me, loves to talk and laugh, innocent and pungent, and speaks freely.Xiaosheng's play is very good.The master's family has an opera troupe, and during festivals, there are often opportunities to go out to sing opera, so she is often asked to go.After coming and going, I liked her very much, and often said something like this, "Pearl, I will find you a good family in the future." Pearl was both happy and worried.What if you can't go to a good family?But what to do?

We have been restless for several years, and we are also in this anxiety. We have lived safely in the master's house for several years.

Time flowed slowly, until the autumn of Kangxi's tenth year.

Eunuch Ma took the King of Yunnan's chariot and horse team through Suzhou in September of this year.It seems that he passed by my house inadvertently, and bought Pearl and me by accident.Eunuch Ma is an elderly and distinguished man, his manner of speaking is very different from other eunuchs.He sent one to my master's room and talked for a while, and the matter was settled.Pearl and Gu only packed a few limited things—the people who came to pick them up were still too slow, so we panicked, grabbed something casually as if we were fleeing, and went out simply and with nothing.

That's okay too.Pearl and I originally had nothing but ourselves.

It was a sunny day on earth with a blue sky and a breezy breeze.

Ma Gonggong's motorcade circled the streets of Suzhou several times.The team was spectacular.At a glance, you can't see the beginning or the end.Like a dragon, it coiled around Suzhou Street 1000 years ago.Look again, every car is full again.Well, it's a jeweled dragon.Each carriage is loaded with rare treasures such as corals, silver peaches, hazel meat, ivory carvings, animal skins, calligraphy and paintings, agarwood, ginseng, chicken head rice, sandalwood fans, etc., as well as fifty well-trained, good at singing Dancing girl——Actually, when we bought us, Mr. Ma had been out of Kunming for several months.He went to the capital first, and after presenting the birthday gift given to the queen mother by the king of Yunnan, he went to the south of the Yangtze River to buy things for his palace.The king of Yunnan dug the Dianchi Lake and built the palace for ten years, which was just completed this spring.Eunuch Ma and his entourage came to Suzhou to buy utensils and beauties for the new palace.

1000 years ago, it was extremely difficult for a large group of people to travel from Suzhou to Kunming.The team led by Eunuch Ma that time was no exception.The chariots and horses traveled for more than three months, and they did not reach Biji Pass until December [-]th of that year.At the moment of arriving at Bijiguan, the sound of horseshoes came and went.The flocks of birds perched on the roadside were disturbed and flew into the distance one after another. The scene was unprecedentedly spectacular.

I want to emphasize again, that year was AD [-].

This year, the King of Yunnan is in full swing.He has more rights and wealth than the emperor, contacts and experience, owns a gorgeous palace complex that attracts the world's attention, and of course, he also owns the destiny of everyone in the southwest.

A gust of wind came in from the window and blew the curtain of the carriage obliquely. I don't know if it was the breeze's inadvertence or intention.The sky is full of brilliant clouds pressing down on the horizon.The whole city is shining brightly.The bluestone slabs under the horseshoes are also golden, it was a beautiful dusk.I saw three archways facing each other far away.The words "Biji", "Golden Horse" and "Loyalty" are written on the plaques.Surrounded by commercial shops close together.Both sides of the road are full of men, women and children.They wore blue clothes and all kinds of silver jewelry, and their black faces were full of curiosity and fear.Some even had scary tattoos on their faces.However, there was not even a cough in the crowd, and everyone quietly watched the carriages and horses passing by one by one.

A huge cloud floated slowly over, casting a dark shadow over my head.

Everything seemed to be the same as before, but there was quite a commotion among the crowd.

"Look, they're really closed! They're closed!" Someone shouted, pointing to a place in the distance while dancing.Everyone followed the direction of his fingers, stretching their black and thin necks very long.

What is closed?

I followed their gazes and looked over: the shadows of the pair of Golden Horse and Jade Rooster archways facing each other from a distance actually merged into one on the ground——I later found out that this is a famous astronomical spectacle in Kunming. Cross-hui.It is said that it only occurs once every 60 years.

People standing on Nanping Street can clearly see this scene as long as they are tall enough and their necks are long enough.There is no doubt about this - but what no one knows is that the golden and green brilliance of 1671 is far from that simple.Different from the golden and green brilliance in the past few times, in the nether region invisible to everyone, a mysterious nature is quietly accumulating energy.

The two Sichuan horses driving were suddenly frightened.With a long cry, he ran desperately.

The groom was caught off guard and fell headfirst.With a plop, Pearl fell into the carriage.Because I was closer to the car door, I flew out and fell hard on the ass of the horse.The horse was greatly stimulated under the heavy blow.Immediately, his mane was fluffed, his nostrils were wide open, he let out a hiss, and ran even more frantically.I hugged the horse tightly and looked ahead in horror.
