午後風起，黃沙隨風掠過官道，一輛樸素的馬車在塵土飛揚中緩緩駛近鄴城。馬車表面覆著簡單帆布，車輪沾滿泥塵，朝著雄偉堅固的北地重鎮一路而來。105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5p0G1w9TRu
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UeVAWx2rC
鄴城城門高聳，磚牆厚實如山。城牆上，士兵戒備森嚴，遠遠望見馬車靠近，早有一隊戍衛整裝列隊，持槍而立。105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOMNUZ3xc9
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZ0p0EiILi
馬車一停下，為首的守城兵大步上前，橫槍擋住車頭，喝道：「來者何人？」105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpqZc4QFQB
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVl0JzKMDB
趕車的是個中年漢子，滿臉風霜，穿著粗布衣服，神情沉穩。他不卑不亢地指了指車廂，語氣自然：「袁府新進的婢女。」105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcMndJN62h
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28wAexCrek
那守門士兵聞言，眉頭微皺，繞到車側打量了一番，目光如刀般審視馬車的蓋布。105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5HxOD3zI7
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFGbrBQFoJ
「主公正在官渡與孫策軍交戰，情勢緊張。無主公大印或劉夫人親手書信者，一律不得入城，還請回吧。」士兵冷聲說道。105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9eAYSwPB9
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2oL6fy2J3
車伕絲毫不慌，從懷中掏出一封卷起的文書，雙手呈上：「這是劉夫人親筆手諭，請過目。」105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHBPjSR5JY
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9Dn5XJ6J1
士兵狐疑地接過來，展開一看。只見上頭的字跡娟秀清麗，落款印章確實是袁府主母之名。105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiUckXrTAw
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPNiFOJVU3
他遲疑了一下，將文書奉還，深深看了車伕一眼，轉身對著城上高聲喊到：「開門！」105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡca6cPhGWIz
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMA65d26CP
沉重的木門在鐵鍊與轆轤的拉動聲中轟然打開，發出一聲沉悶的低響。馬車毫不遲疑地往城內駛去，消失在鄴城層層街巷與高牆的陰影中。105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmj6vjsHcMj
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaH2R6a2fIC
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2glnwIuCLl
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2uswoSx7s
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOx17LEBdO
馬車在石板路上顛簸前行，馬蹄聲與車輪聲在鄴城街道間回盪。車廂內，細碎的光線勾勒出兩位女子的輪廓，一個沉靜端雅，一個神情機警。105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLrdFlupYP
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRow6V8Ckq
大喬微微掀開窗簾，望了眼外頭的街景，又放下簾子，壓低聲音道：「周瑜說，這次能順利進入鄴城，靠的就是那個潛伏在袁府中的內應。據說那人早就與江東有暗中聯繫，只是，連周瑜也不知此人究竟是誰。」105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLt3La8YybM
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnN5LPitJvF
小喬蹙眉思索：「連周瑜大人都查不出來，這人可真是藏得夠深……不過既然能把我們的通關文書送出鄴城，還讓守軍不加盤查，顯然在袁府中有不小的地位。」105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXkpLxIzFT
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu496bqN8YQ
「嗯……但也因此，我們更要小心。」大喬眼神凝重，「若是走錯一步，被劉夫人看出端倪，咱們怕是連退路都沒有了。」105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nAp8uhHM5
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPV7zqiTzwh
小喬嘟起嘴來，輕聲道：「姊姊，我倒很好奇那人是誰。若是女的，會不會是袁紹的某位侍妾？也有可能是個看似不起眼的婢女……若是男的……嗯，會不會是假意投靠袁紹的某位書吏？」105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJlcoGQS3T
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKIgpZYNur
「不論是誰，身為一個內應，能在這樣的地方安然無恙這麼久，必然有過人之處。」大喬頓了頓，低聲道：「我們這次潛入，是以劉夫人選婢的名義。接下來就看那人能不能接應我們了。」105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWRpOyEV8g
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2d5H9xKAGB
談話間，晃動的馬車驀然停了下來，車伕敲了敲車壁。「袁府到了。」105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqMHmFrc26
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2toqEo3J8p
姊妹兩人整理了衣襟髮髻，彼此對視一眼，下了馬車，映入眼簾的便是高大的朱門和兩尊威嚴的石獅。105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFmvqodTKN
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjhmp2KQPr
袁府的門衛上前審視，見車伕出示的手諭有劉夫人印字，沒多說一句話，便揚手放行。105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgPuSpKPhO
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPXjQSbT7z
府門打開，兩位江東少女同時深吸一口氣，踏進袁府大門。105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHf6JHcQIQI
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTUrXkgTy2
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqDR0PKwgG
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfom6Z0ylt
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhh91mr55t
兩人依著婢女引領，步入袁府深處。105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OqfSm8f6D
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJH2LzfCsF
一行人走過了流泉石橋、小荷池塘，以及一條竹林掩映的曲徑。穿過庭院後，便是廊道深幽，一道接著一道的屏門與垂簾，宛如一層層神秘的輕紗罩著袁府，讓人捉摸不透。105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfRuZy6fqb
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNfCVT81z8
走了一段，婢女在一間房前停下，輕聲道：「夫人，那兩位新進婢女來了。」105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnUiq4L7tE
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9RBtlnm4p
房內傳出一聲溫柔回應：「讓人進來罷。」105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsqTgAkEgJ
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKPBmHxjWK
婢女將房門推開，大喬與小喬步入房內。105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApIzNysEyA
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIWDzePA3N
只見綺帳輕揚，珠簾低垂，一位中年女子坐於雕花榻上，衣著雍容華貴，眼角眉梢皆帶笑意。她眼波輕轉，視線落在兩人身上，輕聲一笑，道：「這便是新來的婢女嗎？模樣還挺標緻，好似畫裡走出來似的。」105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIOrau2Ax3
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgspHvracZ
這般親切態度，讓小喬怔了怔——本以為袁府內主母性情嚴厲，卻未料竟如此和煦。她連忙低首行禮，答道：「奴婢見過夫人。」105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLmFsbFdh5
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkhPrkabtW
「快起來。」劉夫人含笑起身，親自走下榻，扶起她的身子。「自今日起，便是我府中的人了。妳們還年輕，若有不懂之處，慢慢學就是。誰不是從這一步走來的？」105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGa1fhRHmOQ
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobjIDgF6SH
小喬心頭微暖，幾分緊張不覺散去，甚至露出一絲笑意。105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZm0GpYnCeY
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7loO9H52Y
大喬也隨之行禮，語氣恭敬，卻沒鬆懈神情。她注意到，劉夫人雖言辭溫婉，眸光卻銳利，眼波轉動之間，細細打量她們衣著氣度，似是將兩人從頭到腳審視了一遍。105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2vrXMfofd
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡil6DJQaFRW
「我給妳們取個名兒吧。」劉夫人溫柔一笑，挽著小喬的手入座，「妳眉眼柔婉，笑容甚是可愛，就叫『容兒』，如何？」105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72KX91IN0Q
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hx6NQDM3P
小喬有些受寵若驚，輕聲答道：「多謝夫人。」105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKJjFK5z53
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYe2Zdjrk6
劉夫人又轉向大喬，眼神多停留了一瞬，道：「妳氣度安靜端雅，倒有些像我那二媳婦……嗯，叫妳『蓮兒』罷，出淤泥而不染，是個好名。」105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzdvJA2YHA
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKEIJrDKrM
大喬俯身道：「謝夫人賜名。」105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhGymvzHPZ
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ASPMbY0ft
「好了，不必多禮。」劉夫人拍了拍手，一名婢女端上糕點，放於案几上。「這一趟妳們遠道而來，也該吃些零嘴壓壓驚。」105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3p9u83DEwy
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnlcMdV2JP
這般待人之道，幾近厚遇，令小喬更加心悅，神色自然許多，目光裡甚至多了幾分敬慕。105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi64XwtW86t
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmofGx2HDs
而大喬望著那桌上精緻點心，沒有伸手拿取，眼中微不可察地掠過一抹戒色。105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCVo9lRMJo
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOvaoojA4L
劉夫人依舊笑容滿面，還親自替兩人倒茶。「容兒、蓮兒……妳們既來到這裡，就當做是自己新的家。府裡規矩雖多，但凡事只要勤快、聽話，自然能有好日子過。至於那些亂七八糟的閒話、耳語……切莫理會，也莫傳話。」105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf78dRo9iHl
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVFdSbdjFX
語氣仍溫柔如水，卻已暗藏告誡。105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzJZCbqA2k
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcicDgogg8M
小喬聞言乖巧點頭：「奴婢記住了。」105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkF6nN5Fdrt
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGan1zz0VdQ
大喬則含笑應下，心中的警戒卻更深了一層。105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxSwr6gFxz
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Inb7M0mEE
「行了，今日也累了，下去歇著吧。明日我會吩咐管事的分派妳們差事。」105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYrxpVMYBa
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYWBIY6EJO
兩人再次行禮，轉身退出房間。105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7mS6gRLkl
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCLT8cdmzG
屋內漸歸寂靜，香煙裊裊。105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuzlRxhk94
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CbaQ3BhjY
劉夫人緩緩轉身，走到窗邊，望著兩人遠去的背影，眼中笑意如常，卻已不再溫暖。她端起茶盞，輕輕啜了一口，低聲道：105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFnopekgD7
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajTmQOAbWW
「人是挺好說話，倒不難使喚……可生的太美了，未必是件好事。」105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhS8CdqpdF4
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw372TPGLno
她將茶盞放下，語氣如霜：105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhOMNuLCzk
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9XkL2yXNq
「吩咐下去，盯緊她們，尤其那個叫蓮兒的……眼神太靜，看不透，也看不慌。我不喜歡這種人。」105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JJIua8onw
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JTmRBkh4e
身後婢女低聲應是，正要退下，卻又被叫住。「等等，這樣太花時間……」105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraCfonZruE
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMyicAc4Tb
劉夫人抿嘴沉思。半晌，她的嘴角勾起一個陰險的弧度。105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyG0zvtZFMQ
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYNsEtoG1g
「算了，還是讓我親自來吧。」105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz737itFVCp
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReQzkhZg25
房內的香氣在氣氛的凝重下，此刻竟帶有幾分寒意。
