Mulan and An Xue really didn't have anything to say, and it was not easy to refuse in front of these many people, so she said goodbye to the girls, and led An Xue out of the flower hall. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info stood still in a no-man's place under the porch, waiting for An Xue to speak.

"Cousin, this dress is so beautiful." An Xue tugged at the hem of her skirt and rubbed her fingers.

Mulan pulled her skirt back and said in a light tone, "Don't you have something to say to me?" ”

An Xue pursed her mouth, "Why is my cousin stingy?" If you touch it, you can't touch it. ”

"If you don't have anything important, I'll go back, and there's a room full of guests waiting for me to greet you." Mulan frowned.

An Xue sensed that she was a little impatient, and took out something from her sleeve pocket and stuffed it into her hand, "My mother told me to give this to you." ”

Mulan looked down and saw that it was a small rectangular purse, with black edges on a red background, embroidered with a Buddha lotus and some Sanskrit words with yellow thread. For a while, I couldn't understand what Yu meant by asking An Xue to give her such a purse, and looked at An Xue inquiringly.

"There's a sign here, my mother went to the temple to ask for it." An Xue explained, "It's said that it's signed." ”

There is a custom here to ask for a sign for herself and those close to her on New Year's Festivals and important days, and Mulan didn't think much about it, just when Yu wanted to sign a sign to please her. She has never believed in asking for fortune telling, not to mention that the workmanship of this purse is so rough, she wants to ask for it in a small temple that is not in the stream, there is really no sincerity, and she can't appreciate it.

He handed the purse to Ruixi, "Thank you for my cousin, I have bothered her." ”

An Xue saw that she was about to leave after saying this, and hurriedly grabbed her, "Cousin, wait a minute......"

"Anything else?" Mulan paused.

"Cousin, you see, the girls who came to celebrate your birthday today are all dressed up in fancy clothes, and my body is so shabby, I don't make people laugh. Why don't you lend me a piece of clothing and a few pieces of jewelry to wear? "An Xue is not subtle today, and straightforwardly asks Mulan to get something.

Ruixi frowned frequently when she heard this, and couldn't help but interject in front of Mulan, "My cousin is already dressed very well." ”

"yes, it's all about fitting your clothes. There is a lot of difference in size between you and me, and you can't wear my clothes, so don't toss and change. Mulan knew that if she didn't let her take advantage of it, she wouldn't give up, so she took a bracelet of white jade pieces and flowers from her wrist and handed it to her, "This matches your clothes, you can take it and wear it." ”

An Xue's eyes lit up immediately, and she didn't even bother to say a word, so she couldn't wait to put it on her wrist when she took it. Looking closely at the light, I saw that the jade pieces were polished very thin, moist and transparent, and the red beads called the heart of the flower were reflected, and half of the petals were dyed with red, like a real flower.

Although she doesn't know jade, she also knows that what Mulan wears out to meet guests must not be ordinary. Thinking that this time it can be regarded as earned, I can't stop talking.

Ruixi clenched his fists, the jade bracelet was made by the most famous jade craftsman in the capital, and it cost a lot of silver, so it was sent out, how could people not feel distressed? I can't help it when I feel distressed, which of the things on the girl's body is worthless? It is better to fill her shallow-eyelids than to have her scavenged and scavenging a whole set.

Mulan sent An Xue away and returned to the table. An Xue cheekily followed and sat next to Mulan. lest others don't know their relationship, one cousin screams happily.

Zhao Chonghua often went in and out of the Guogong Mansion and heard of the virtues of the Anqingzhong family. When I saw An Xue today, she was really a superficial person who couldn't be on the table, so she didn't bother to take care of it.

Seeing that Mulan's attitude towards An Xue was extremely light, she guessed that she was not an important relative, and she did not take the initiative to talk. An Xue was very attentive, and asked her name and age one by one, "sister" and "sister" climbed with others. Suddenly praising clothes, and praising jewelry for a while, can't hide the admiration in his eyes.

Ruixi thought she was embarrassed, and wanted to lead her to the table in the back, but she was afraid of boiling water and refused to move, so she had to give up.

Because of the Holy Father's instruction to make it as lively as possible, Mrs. An ordered to invite the troupe and the storyteller. At this time, it was still early before the banquet, and it was boring to just drink tea and chat, so I asked the female ancestor to come in and sing a few paragraphs.

The girl was only thirty years old, with a good appearance, a good voice, and sang to the beat of the drum for a while, and then for a while, and the painting was also interesting. These ladies and girls seldom had this kind of entertainment, and listened to them with relish, and from time to time they exchanged a few words of commentary.

Mulan listened to the stories told by the female ancestors, all of which were to educate women to follow the four virtues and take the father, husband, and son as the sky, so she was a little excited.

The female ancestor probably also thought it was boring to just talk about this kind of thing that everyone was familiar with, and after saying the last two paragraphs, she said that she wanted to change it to something new and interesting. After getting permission, it was the story of a mermaid falling in love with a human prince.

Although it is different from what Mulan told to the shopkeeper Han, a lot of details and twists and turns have been added in the middle, but the general plot is the same.

Love stories are always gripping, and this is the first time I have heard them, and the ladies and girls have listened attentively. When they heard that the mermaid voluntarily turned into a bubble in order to save the prince, they took out their handkerchiefs to wipe their tears, and when they heard that the two finally became married, they showed a relieved smile.

Mulan didn't expect to hear the story of her being sold as a selling point here, she was surprised and surprised, and when the female ancestor went down to rest, she found an excuse to leave the table and called the female ancestor over to ask about the source of the story.

The female ancestor said that she had been rapping for a living in the south before, and she had only recently come to the capital to beg for a living. The story of this mermaid is that she secretly learned it from a colleague in the south, but the specific source is not clear. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to get a seat, but I didn't expect to get a lot of reward for the appetite of the ladies and girls.

Mulan pondered for a moment and took out the Pisces collar, "Have you ever seen anything like this in the south?" ”

The female first stared at the double fish collar for a long time, shook her head and said that she had not seen it. When I asked her if there was a vanity box engraved with a mermaid in the jewelry store over there, she said she hadn't seen it.

Mulan rewarded her with a gold ring and sent her away, holding the Pisces collar in deep thought.

As for the owner of this buckle, she already has the object of suspicion. There were already a lot of puzzles in my heart, and when I heard the story of the mermaid today, I had new questions. It seems that it is necessary for her to talk to Shopkeeper Han Haosheng.

When he returned to the banquet and drank another round of tea, the feast began. The dishes at this end have not yet been served, and the palace has given wine and delicacies. Everyone received the reward with Mrs. An and Mulan, and sat down again, and then they ate and drank lively.

As the protagonist of the birthday banquet, Mulan had to toast back. Somehow, after two cups of stomach, my head became dizzy, and my body became hot for a while.

Zhao Chonghua saw that she was blushing badly, blocked a few cups for her, and then held her and asked, "Mulan, are you okay, are you drunk?" ”
