Chapter 111: The Wedding
Xiao Fengnan walked in front with his head up, swept away the dead branches that blocked the way for them, and by the way, he solved some of the beasts chasing Yanmicao. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Huo Lianjue and Hua Lianyue supported each other, and followed behind him with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
Fortunately, they were chased by the wild wolves along the way, and they were already close to the foot of the mountain, and it didn't take long for them to see the fork in the road that divided the east and west. There were more pedestrians and carriages on the road, and everyone was completely relieved.
I only stayed in Fahua Temple for one night, but Hua Liyue felt like a world away. She was already frail, and she was already feeling unwell after two days and a night, even frightened and frightened, and a lot of cold wind blew.
In order not to worry Huo Lianjue, she forcibly endured it and did not make a sound. Now once her spirit relaxed, she felt a burst of weakness and chills all over her body, and every foot seemed to be floating and weak on cotton.
Hua Lianyue was looking forward to finding a place to sit down, drink a cup of hot tea and relax herself.
I don't know if I have a good idea, just when Hua Lianyue was struggling, a woman led a horse and slowly paced over.
The woman leading the horse was wearing a floral jacket with a pinched waist, and the fox fur at the neckline lined her bright eyes and teeth, which was pretty and moving. The slender willow waist sways slightly with the light pace, which looks very charming. On each side of the horse hung a large bamboo basket, which was full of vegetables, fruits, meat, and other items.
The woman saw Hua Lianyue and her party from afar, she raised her eyebrows and said in surprise: "Isn't this Lord Huo and Hua Catching Fast! Why are you so embarrassed, could it be that you have been robbed by mountain bandits?"
"Ah Tong!"
Hua Lianyue's eyes couldn't help but light up, and she suddenly remembered that there was Wufu Tower not far in front of her. There is everything in hot tea and hot water, and you can also borrow their carriage to rush back to the county government to gather people, this is really God help me.
Ah Tong was secretly surprised to see the two of them so embarrassed, so he curiously asked what happened. When she heard Hua Lianyue say that there were a large number of wild wolves hiding on this Meiling Ridge, and they would sneak attack humans, she was also shocked.
So Ah Tong also chattered about the past: "A few years ago, I heard that there are wild wolves on this mountain, and when there is no food on the mountain in winter, they will sneak down the mountain and bite the fence to drag away the piglets in the villagers' pigsty, or those chickens, ducks and geese.
So many villagers in the vicinity went up to the mountains to hunt in their spare time, and also took those wolf skins into mattresses to the market to sell, and I heard that they were quite valuable. It's just that over the years, the traces of wild wolves have gradually decreased, and I haven't heard of any wild wolves coming down the mountain to steal food for a long time. ”
Hua Lianyue said hatefully: "That's because they are hiding in the mountains to keep their eyes on the clouds! You don't know how cunning they are!"
"Taoguang Yanghui?" Ah Tong couldn't help laughing: "I still heard that wild wolves will still taoguang and obscurity......" Hua Lianyue said and danced with her hands and completely forgot about the discomfort, Ah Tong listened to it with relish, and covered her lips from time to time and screamed.
Compared with these two noisy women, Huo Lianjue and Xiao Fengnan were extremely quiet. After all, one is a county order, and the other is a merry knight, who can lose his temper in front of wild wolves, and still maintain his image in front of women.
It didn't take long for several people to come to the door of Wufu Building. In the past, Wufu Building, which was like a city, is extremely quiet today. Even the door is closed, and it is already a late hour, and it is not even open for business.
Hua Lianyue said strangely: "Why did it close so early today?" Or did you never open the door at all?
Ah Tong bolted the horse, took off the bamboo basket and hung it on his shoulder, and said with a smile: "The snow is too heavy these days, and there are fewer guests even for dinner." Boss Xiao asked us to simply close the door and rest for a few days. ”
As he spoke, Ah Tong had already come to the door of Wufu Building. The door was just hidden, and she pushed it open.
Hua Lianyue supported the limping Huo Lianjue and followed closely behind Ah Tong. She looked curiously as she walked, and said, "Since there are no guests, you still buy so many dishes?"
Ah Tong put down the two bamboo baskets and explained: "Although there are no guests, we have to eat ourselves! There are a lot of men and cooks in the restaurant who need to be fed, and these two baskets of vegetables and meat are only enough for two days' rations." ”
Hua Lianyue said embarrassedly: "Then we came to the door at this time, did we disturb your rest?"
"It's okay!" Ah Tong pursed his lips and smiled, and said very cheerfully: "You are not serious guests! Not to mention that our Boss Xiao has also been chattering for a long time, saying that no one has been able to drink with her for a long time." It's a pity that she drank too much yesterday, and I'm afraid that she is still asleep in the house at the moment, and she can't greet you. ”
Hua Lianyue hurriedly said: "We don't need her to greet us, let's rest, drink hot tea and leave." ”
Ah Tong pursed his lips and smiled, "The person who comes is a guest, how can you just drink a cup of tea." Besides, it is now the end of the day, and I think you are hungry too, so you should fill your stomachs before leaving. You sit down first, and I'll let the kitchen prepare a few side dishes, and it won't be delayed for long. ”
was reminded by Ah Tong like this, Hua Lianyue really felt that her stomach was empty, and she was even frightened, the little vegetable bun and thin porridge she ate in the morning had already been digested. She touched her belly and looked at Huo Lianjue pitifully.
Huo Lianjue shook his head helplessly, bowed his hand to Ah Tong, and said, "Thank you, girl!"
Ah Tong was no longer polite, picked up the bamboo basket and went to the back kitchen.
The whole restaurant is spacious and silent, and the hustle and bustle of the past is continuous, but today even the words seem to have echoes. After Hua Lianyue helped Huo Lianjue sit down, she looked around and didn't make a sound for a long time.
Xiao Fengnan didn't have any scruples, he sat down opposite Huo Lianjue, picked up the teapot on the table, poured himself a cup of tea, and drank it in a big gulp.
Hua Lianyue's heart moved, lowered her voice, and said to Xiao Fengnan: "You are also surnamed Xiao, and the boss of this Wufu Building is also surnamed Xiao, could it be that you are relatives?"
Xiao Fengnan said with a blank face: "What kind of relative? Master Minghui's common surname is Xiao, so he gave me the surname Xiao." ”
Immediately, he put the teacup in his hand on the table, lowered his face and said unceremoniously: "Could it be that all the people in the world surnamed Xiao are my relatives? ”
Hua Lianyue didn't expect him to be so sensitive in his heart, she quietly stuck out the tip of her tongue and said, "I'm sorry, I'm just curious to ask!"
Xiao Fengnan snorted and ignored her anymore.
Hua Lianyue quietly turned around and smiled at Huo Lianjue, she slowly brushed her messy hair with her hand, and said, "Brother Lian, my hair is messy, it's too rude to see people like this, you can help me comb it!"
Huo Lianjue was embarrassed and said, "Now, but I don't have anything on me?"
Hua Lianyue smiled slightly, stretched out her hand and took his hand, and smiled gently: "Don't you still have a pair of hands?"
"Okay!" Huo Lianjue reluctantly agreed.
Only then did Hua Lianyue let go of his hand, and she turned her back to him with a smile. He slowly straightened her long hair with his fingers as a comb. The slender fingers ran through her hair, and the movements were so gentle and delicate that they seemed to be afraid that they would hurt her. Hua Lianyue lowered her eyebrows and looked extremely well-behaved and docile.
Xiao Fengnan's heart was a little gloomy, he shook his head and laughed at himself, and poured tea for himself again. One cup after another, it has the momentum of drinking a tea into a spirit.
A pot of tea can not afford him to drink like this, and it will soon come to the bottom. Xiao Fengnan simply dropped the teacup and stood up, he walked to the bamboo fence and looked out. The white expanse, the frozen lake is like a huge piece of cold jade, and the white mist rises like smoke waves. In the past, the surface of the lake, which was sparkling and beautiful, and the fish were fat, now seems extremely quiet.
I heard Huo Lianjue behind him say gently: "Okay!"
Xiao Fengnan turned her head and saw that Hua Lianyue was holding the ugly bun on her head like horns, and smirked: "Thank you!"
Xiao Fengnan pursed his lips, returned to their table and sat down, and said, "There should be no danger for you to return to the county government from here, and I will go back to the temple after dinner." ”
Huo Lianjue nodded and thanked him sincerely: "Brother Xiao, no matter what, it was you who saved my life this time." I owe you a favor, and if you need anything in the future, you will go to the soup and go to the fire!"
Hua Lianyue nodded violently on the side, if Xiao Fengnan hadn't appeared in time, maybe Huo Lianjue would have been buried in the wolf's belly at this moment, and she was also twelve points grateful to Xiao Fengnan.
Xiao Fengnan waved his hand and said indifferently: "It's just a trivial matter, I also heard the wolf's howl and moved, so I just came out to take a look, and it's not worth your attention so much." ”
While talking, several girls came out of the back kitchen one after another with their meals. These dishes are actually very rich, what casserole simmered deer tendon, chicken shredded white fungus, osmanthus fish sticks, eight treasure rabbit dice, golden leg roasted round fish, etc., are all steaming, making people salivate.
At this time, Ah Tong also brought the clothes, and said to Hua Lianyue with a smile: "Hurry up and change your clothes!"
Hua Lianyue, who was drooling in front of a table of dishes, looked at her body when she heard the words, she was in tatters, and she was covered in blood and mud, she was extremely dirty, and she was very unsightly.
Ah Tong was really careful, but she couldn't push it back, so she got up and followed Ah Tong back to the house to change clothes.
She changed into a red and gold peacock pattern brocade dress and tied a flowered pleated skirt, and a long jewel-embellished skirt covered her shoes. Hua Lianyue looked left and right at the bronze mirror, and said a little uncomfortably: "This dress is too luxurious!"
Ah Tong pursed his lips and smiled, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "This is our boss's clothes when he was young, and you look good in them." ”
"Sit down!" Ah Tong pressed Hua Lianyue in front of the dressing table and sat down, picked up a jade comb and said, "I'll dress you up well!"
"Don't bother......
It's a pity that Hua Lianyue's refusal Ah Tong turned a deaf ear, she had already directly dismantled Huo Lianjue's hard-to-coil bun and carefully combed it for her.
Ah Tong's hands were extremely skillful, and after a while, she combed a complicated flying fairy bun for Hua Lianyue. Hua Liyue had never combed such a complicated bun in her life, she frowned and said, "Ah Tong, you really don't have to be so troublesome!"
"What's the trouble! I think you're pretty good at combing this. Ah Tong smiled, not only did not accept Hua Liyue's refusal, but also opened the makeup box on the side, which was full of dazzling jewelry.
Ah Tong frowned and thought about it, reached out and took a hollow flying phoenix golden step shake from it and put it on the side of Hua Lianyue's sideburns, and muttered in his mouth: "Do you like this step shake?"
Hua Lianyue suddenly felt a chill in her heart, no matter how ignorant she was, she noticed that something was wrong with Ah Tong. She raised her voice and said, "Ah Tong, what are you doing here?"
Ah Tong shook his head and put away the hollow flying phoenix golden step. As soon as Hua Lianyue breathed a sigh of relief, she took out a double phoenix bead and golden wings and shook it and inserted it into the middle of Hua Lianyue's bun.
She looked left and right, smiled with satisfaction, and said, "It's better to be like this, the pearl on this is a rare shark pearl." According to the record in the second volume of the "Naturalist Chronicles", "Yiren": "There are sharks in the South China Sea, who live in water like fish, do not waste their achievements and weave, and their eyes can produce pearls when they cry." The pearl turned into a mermaid's teardrop is a shark pearl, it is not only beautiful but also life-sustaining, you say it is not a good match for your clothes!"
Hua Lianyue stared at her dark eyes and looked at Ah Tong in the bronze mirror. Her eyebrows were raised, the corners of her mouth were slightly pursed, and her expression was fluttering but revealing joy.
Hua Lianyue had only experienced the catastrophe of life and death, and at this moment she had already felt that the undercurrent around her was surging again, and the murderous opportunities were lurking. She secretly clenched her fists, and cold sweat broke out in her palms.
Seeing that she didn't squeak for a long time, Ah Tong's face couldn't help but sink, and she said in a gloomy voice: "What's the matter?" Don't you like this double phoenix bead golden wing?"
Hua Lianyue said cautiously: "No, I like it very much, but it's too valuable, how can it be good if it breaks!"
Ah Tong's eyebrows gradually relaxed, she waved her hand, and said, "Anyway, it's your thing, if it's broken, it's broken, don't worry!"
Hua Lianyue's jaw was about to hit the surface of her feet, this, this, this is for me? This is a hard-to-find shark pearl!
Boss Xiao, Boss Xiao, your girl has ruined your family business like this, do you know?
Ah Tong seemed to be very satisfied with Hua Lianyue's docility at this moment, and she carefully evened out her face for Hua Lianyue, drew her eyebrows, and smeared a layer of gorgeous rouge. When she finished tinkering, Hua Liyue looked at the bronze mirror tremblingly, and she found that her festive appearance was actually like a bride to be married.
Just when she was nervous and full of surprise, the door was pushed open, and a young girl walked in with a red hijab.
Hua Lianyue couldn't sit still anymore, she jumped up suddenly, her willow eyebrows were upside down, and she said angrily: "Ah Tong, what do you want to do?"
Ah Tong stretched out his hand and took the red hijab embroidered with the mandarin duck pattern, sighed, and said slowly: "Huaputou, you are so smart and sensible, of course you know what I want to do." I just want a wedding. ”
"What wedding? Whose wedding?"
Although Hua Lianyue was stunned in her heart, her expression on her face did not change, and this series of questions was even very harsh.
"Of course it's your wedding to our young master!" Ah Tong was still very respectful, and even had a flattering smile on his face.
Hua Lianyue's face sank, and she raised her voice and said, "Who is your young master?" Also, who I want to marry, it seems that you can't decide!"
She knew Ah Tong's ability, and only hoped that Xiao Fengnan outside could hear the argument inside and quickly think of ways to save her.
