Chapter 10: The Feast of Fragrant Snow

The wheels of the carriage creaked again. The pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info but compared to just now, it seems to be much slower and heavier.

Outside the carriage, everyone's faces were extremely ugly. Among them, Sima Jian is the most.

Sima Jian was literate, and when he saw the notice, he felt that his heart was sinking to the soles of his feet...... Not to mention whether the purpose of Longpan to hold this Xiangxue banquet is simply to "have fun with the people", just based on Sima Die's beauty, once it appears in front of everyone, it will not be a trivial matter. You must know that under their humble status, it is not only Long Pan who cannot afford to offend. In this Ten Directions City, anyone can easily crush them to death.

Sima Die's solo carriage swayed slightly as the carriage moved. A beautiful face is as calm as water, light and elegant as a picture of tranquility. Only a pair of eyes were distracted, and I didn't know what I was thinking.

Compared with his brother, Sima Die really didn't have too many worries in his heart. In her opinion, since Qi Yi brought her here, then she would naturally be able to take refuge in him. On the way, she had already heard her brother say that Qi Yi was the number one general under Long Pan, and a figure above 10,000 people under one person. The people he picked up, ordinary people didn't dare to disturb each other.

is the only one to watch out for, and it's just one person. As for how to be vigilant, it's useless to think about it now anyway, it's better to take one step at a time and act when the opportunity arises.

Putting this matter aside, Sima Die thought more in his heart, but it was the Xiangxue Festival.

Xiangxue is a type of flower, also known as lilac. Whenever spring fills the world, this flower will always bloom all over this scarred land, and even if the war continues, it can never stop it from blooming. For people, it brings hope for life on this dead earth. That's why people in the world love this flower. And the girls' love is mostly because of the delicate beauty of this flower. Whenever the fragrant snowflakes bloom, Sima Die often plays with Ah Ling and plays all over the mountains. And their little room is always decorated with a beautiful fragrance at this time.

Because when the fragrant snowflakes bloom, they hear the women's delicate voices, so there is a festival specially designed for girls, called the "Xiangxue Festival". The festival is mostly in May and sometimes at the end of April. At that time, the girls who are familiar with each other will get together, show their talents, compete for beauty, and be a feast for Xiangxue. As a result, it attracted young men from all over the world. Therefore, on this day, it is often a festival for boys and girls to express their love for each other. It's just that such a festival was naturally ignored in Sima Die's small mountain village with a big palm.

Not to mention anything else, the whole village made a special trip to celebrate a festival for the two of them, Sima Die and Ah Ling, two girls of the same age. It's better to go up the mountain to dig wild vegetables together.

Even the name "Xiangxue Festival", Sima Die still heard it from the story told by his old man 800 times. Strictly speaking, when she was a child, she did pull the younger Ah Ling and the two of them imitated it in a similar way, but when she was a little older, she felt that this move was naΓ―ve and boring, so she didn't want to mention it again. However, at this moment, maybe he changed places and came to the Shifang City where the wind and clouds met, and suddenly heard these three words, but he had a different feeling. If you put aside the worries and worries in your heart, you will inexplicably raise some expectations.

Unconsciously, Sima Die's mind gradually shifted from the meaning of this Xiangxue Festival to a tall figure.

Along the way, I can't tell how many times she has lost her mind like this. In a trance, there always seems to be a pair of cold electric eyes staring at him. However, the more I think about it, the more I can't help but think about it again. It was as if it were a pair of deep whirlpools, and the more dangerous they were, the more they couldn't help but fall.

Xiangxue Festival...... I don't know who the person is......

……

In the silence of the group, the carriage drove smoothly on the road, turning a few street corners along the way, and finally stopped in front of a large mansion.

Qi Yi is Longpan's confidant and favorite general, and the place he lives in is naturally one of the best mansions in the Ten Fang City. However, from the outside, the house is as monotonous and solemn as the neighboring houses, but not luxurious. In addition to the fact that it is also built with huge bluestone, it is just higher and more solemn than the next house, and the black iron gate is several times larger than that of the other people. However, it is this distance of several times that has made this house stand out from the crowd, exuding a majestic momentum that is intimidating.

Qi Yi took Sima Jian and his entourage to come to his mansion to live temporarily, and naturally he had already delivered the news through the flying pigeon. At this time, seeing Mu and Tam coming from a distance, the guards in front of the door did not wait for them to approach, and they had already cleverly sent someone in to report. When everyone walked to the door, they saw that the door was open, and the housekeeper was coming out of it with a smile on his face:

"Distinguished guests!" the chief butler had not yet arrived, and a stack of joyful greetings shouted out first. Not to mention anything else, just looking at his attitude, even Sima Jian thought that he was really a great character. But he was self-aware in the end, and after being stunned for a moment, he couldn't help but shake his head with a wry smile on his face.

The big butler's slightly chubby body rushed to the front at a trot. A round face, said fat is not fat, a bit like Maitreya Buddha thin. A pair of smiling eyes were hidden under the folds of the eyes, and quickly turned around several people, and then focused his gaze on Sima Jian's face with great precision, and there was no pause in his mouth: "...... This must be the famous Sima Gongzi of the Four Holy Cities, right? Oops, Gongzi is really a talent. I have long heard that Gongzi is young, and he has created a great family business on his own, which is really young and promising! Although the old man is in the Shifang City, he can't help but be fascinated, and he has been a god friend of Gongzi for a long time. Seeing it today is really a blessing for old age. ”

The chief butler shook his head, his expression was like drinking fine wine, smoky. He believed all these words, and said them so sincerely. However, Sima Jian has only one principle in his heart: when people say his, let's not take it seriously.

Finally waited for the old man to speak, Sima Jian hurriedly said: "The old man has tormented the boy." In front of your old man, there is still a lot of place for the kid to learn. ”

Don't say anything else, listen to him, this ability to open his eyes and tell nonsense is estimated to have grown a lot.

The chief butler's eyes flashed, and a shrewd gaze flickered towards Sima Jian's body. When Sima Jian wanted to see clearly, he saw that the old man still had an affectionate and friendly expression on his face: "Oh, this happiness, the old man is easy to forget." I haven't reported myself yet, the old man's surname is Peng, if you are happy, you might as well call me 'Peng Lao' just like these two boys, and if you are not happy, call me 'Lao Peng', which is also made. As he spoke, he pointed his palm toward the wood, ramming the two of them with one finger.

Sima Jian and the others said: "Don't dare, don't dare." ”

"Huh. Invited by my family, you live in the house, and the old man will be hospitable, please. As he spoke, his eyes seemed to inadvertently sweep over the carriage at the back of the line. As the housekeeper in the house, he has already known the identity of the person in the car from the handbook. However, from beginning to end, his face did not show any light, as if he did not see it. Even if you glance at it, it doesn't move. Sima Jian watched coldly, thinking that with this calmness alone, this old decay was no longer simple. But after thinking about it, I knew that the adult's status was prominent, how could he use mediocre people under his hands?

People are open to greet though. However, the identities of Sima Jian and the others are placed there, how can a mere businessman have the qualifications to enter the house? It is guided by the housekeeper Peng, and it is the corner door on the side. After entering, avoid the antechamber and go directly to the guest house by detouring the path.

The guest house in Qi Yi's house is divided into four Meilan bamboo chrysanthemums. Two for each of the east and west. After receiving the news, the housekeeper Peng immediately arranged for his subordinates to arrange the "Orchid Garden" near the inner courtyard.

Naturally, a few guest houses will not be of average size. Among them, the Orchid Garden is not the largest, but in terms of scenery, it must be the most beautiful. What's more, according to the layout, in the Orchid Garden, there is a small independent loft that is not found in several other guest houses. That small building was supposed to be used for enjoying the scenery, but I heard that there was still a delicate guest among the people to be entertained this time, so the flexible housekeeper Peng Da had an idea and decided to take care of this small building for Sima Die to live in.

After entering the mansion, everyone only felt that the surrounding scenery changed, where the birds and flowers were fragrant, and the vegetation was verdant. The shadows of the trees swayed, and the fragrance of plants and trees filled the surroundings. I didn't expect that a wall separated from each other would create an elegant realm like a paradise.

The horse-drawn carriage drove leisurely along the garden path. Even though the body is dilapidated, it is also stained with a bit of simple elegance. The light breeze blew, and even if Sima Die was in the car, he suddenly felt a cool mood. I have to say that Shifang City is full of murderous atmosphere, but it is difficult for anyone to remain peaceful in their hearts. However, the shadow of the salsa tree here, the gentle breeze, seems to be able to gently sway, eliminate the annoyance of people's hearts, and make the people's spiritual platform return to clarity.

Sima Die couldn't hold back any longer, quietly raised the curtain of the car, and took a deep breath of the fresh shade outside. This feeling was like returning to the valley, and somehow, it easily evoked the nostalgia in her heart.

When the butler Peng, who inadvertently turned his head in front of him, caught a glimpse of the glamorous and moving face under the car curtain, Rao is accustomed to seeing the world, and he couldn't help but be slightly stunned: This woman's beauty can be called stunning!

Immediately, his shrewd eyes revealed a little understanding.
