Chapter 038: Chaos

Gu Jialuo quietly kneaded the paper ball again, and when he passed by the torch in front of a house, with a flick of his finger, the paper ball the size of a corn kernel flew into the orange-red light ball, and turned into dust silently. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Grandma, be careful of your step, there are probably a lot of people today, and there will inevitably be collisions,"

Liu Hu held a torch in one hand and pressed it on his waist with the other, his body was outward, looking around with great vigilance, but he said in a low voice: "Maybe there will be a little man, grandma-"

Gu Jialuo casually looked at the more and more people on the street, and replied lightly: "You don't have to worry about me, although I am a woman, I am not a weak person who is helpless. However, the families of Mr. Meng and Mr. Zhou are small and need to be taken care of. ”

She brought people out, and she must ensure the safety of others, especially if the two families are still with children, and there must be no mistakes.

“…… Be. Liu Hu hesitated, the task assigned to him by the uncle was to protect the eldest grandmother, as for the families of the Meng and Zhou families, they naturally had to do their best to protect them, but the safety of the eldest grandmother was the most important.

However, seeing Gu Jialuo insisting so much, Liu Hu still responded angrily, then raised his hand and gestured to the guards scattered around.

Zhu followed behind Gu Jialuo, she didn't hear the conversation between Gu Jialuo and Liu Hu clearly, but she saw Liu Hu's small movements.

She narrowed her eyes, her gaze turned, and sure enough, she found several sturdy figures among the celebratory people, although those people were also dressed in the service of the Yi people, but whether it was stature or appearance, they did not look like Yi people at all.

This is the famous 'Qi Family's Army'?

Zhu turned his head and whispered a few words to the maid beside him.

The maid nodded, and then quietly withdrew, blending in with the people with torches on either side, and disappeared in a few moments.

Duan held his son in one hand and his daughter in the other, looking at this scene coldly, with a tangled look on his face.

"Auntie?" The youngest daughter of the Meng family raised her head, her shallow eyebrows wrinkled together, and said with a little grievance: "It hurts!" ”

Only then did Duan realize that he was distracted, and he actually hurt the children.

She hurriedly let go of her hand, held her daughter's tender and fleshy little hand and blew, and accompanied her daughter: "It's all bad for A-Niang, it hurts, A-Niang blows for Nannan, and it doesn't hurt to blow." ”

The Meng family's little girl smiled sweetly, nodded her little head, and said softly: "It doesn't hurt, it really doesn't hurt." There were two big tears hanging from the corners of his eyes.

In fact, she didn't hurt anymore, what she wanted was her mother's attention and spoiling.

Duan's naturally knew that her daughter was coquettish, but when she saw her daughter's cute appearance, her heart had already softened, and she pinched her daughter's fat apple face, and a touch of perseverance flashed in her eyes.

No matter what, she must protect her children and not allow anyone to hurt them!

"Hey~~"

"Yo~Oh~"

Walking out of Yaqian Street, there are more and more people.

As Zhu said, on the day of the Torch Festival, both men and women, young and old, regardless of Han and Yi, all wore festive costumes, held torches, and gathered together from their homes.

The bright red firelight not only illuminates the night, but also reflects the happy and smiling faces of the people from the heart.

The sound of drums all around, gourd sheng, ukulele, bamboo flute, suona and various musical instruments sounded happily, and some people couldn't help but shout and cheer.

Before Gu Jia Luo reached the main venue, he felt a warm festive atmosphere.

"Grandma, be careful!"

Liu Hu had already handed over the torch to the guard beside him, and he tied his two arms, his back to Gu Jialuo, and guarded it carefully.

Gu Jialuo let out a 'hmm', looked around the left and right, and found that there were already a bunch of people in the center of Dongjie, these people were dressed in various colors, Yi, Bai, Zhuang and other ethnic minorities, and of course, there were many Han people celebrating together.

"Ruren, let's go in, the ceremony will start soon, and you can see more clearly ahead."

Zhu Shi came up and shouted at the top of his voice. She can't be blamed for her loss of manners, now there are people all around, the sound of talking, laughing, and drumming not far away are intertwined, even if you stand in front of you, the sound is slightly smaller.

Gu Jialuo also replied loudly: "Okay! ”

Liu Hu's expression became more and more solemn, and he turned around and came to the front to open the way for Gu Jialuo.

For the first time, Gu Jialuo was crowded with so many people, rubbing shoulders and rubbing shoulders, and if she took a slightly larger step, she would bump into someone, and she was very uncomfortable.

However, the undisguised joy on the faces of the people around her infected her and made her feel much better.

Trying his best to endure the crowding with people, Gu Jialuo followed Liu Hu closely, walked quickly through the crowd, and came to the center of the venue.

Most of the people with heads and faces in the city of Usa have arrived.

Ma Zhongtai's father, as well as the heads of the Qu, Luo, Yan, Yang, and An families, had already stood in front of the green pine torches, waiting for the ceremony to begin.

The ladies of several families stood at the front of the crowd in gorgeous clothes, and they gathered together in small groups and whispered about something.

Gu Jialuo's appearance made several people quiet for a moment.

Speaking of which, Qi Jinzhi and his wife have been in Wusa for two months, and the day after they arrived, the housewife of the six major families of Wusa sent a message of worship to the queen.

It's just that Gu Jialuo didn't agree immediately out of caution, and then Qi Jinzhi made a fuss about the 'Jingguan', which greatly killed the prestige of several major families.

Although on the surface, Qi Jinzhi only had a mortal enmity with the Ma family, but the six major families have been operating in Wusa for decades, and they cannot be said to share weal and woe with each other, but they also represent the same interest group.

It is commonly said that the six of them are the head snakes of Wusa, but now the Ma family has been slapped in the face by a hairy boy from the capital, and the other families have no glory.

In addition, Qi Jinzhi soon took people to the countryside to 'suppress bandits', Gu Jialuo closed the door tightly, and easily did not go out, let alone entertain guests casually.

The mothers of several major families voted for the post, and after being politely refused, they also lifted their hands and ignored Gu Jialuo anymore.

Today is the first time that several housewives have seen Gu Jialuo, but it turns out that on such an occasion, everyone is somewhat uncomfortable.

One of them, a middle-aged woman with a slightly chubby body and a kind face, hesitated, but still greeted her with a smile.

"This is Gu Ruren, right? The concubine is the Feng family of Yangmen, and she has seen the widow. The middle-aged woman bowed slightly and made a blessing.

Gu Jialuo's eyes flashed, and he hurriedly stretched out his hand to help him, "Mrs. Feng is polite, I have long heard that the wife of the Yang Dian family was born in the Yizhou family, and when I see Mrs. Feng's description today, it really deserves her reputation." ”

The middle-aged woman, that is, Feng's face, was suffocated by the smile, and she was secretly a little vigilant in her heart. This Gu is really a powerful person.

And the Zhu family, who was following closely behind Gu Jialuo, also flashed a faint and inexplicable light in his eyes, and when he looked at Gu Jialuo again, he was faintly a little cold.

What a Gu Jialuo, the news is so well-informed, even the bad things twenty or thirty years ago can be found out.

What made the Zhu family even more unhappy was that Gu Jialuo's fluttering words broke the grievances between the Ma family and the Yang family.

When it comes to fighting outsiders, the six families are naturally unanimous with the outside world, but they are not as harmonious as one family. There are also rivalries, contradictions, and even grudges against each other.

Take the Ma family and the Yang family as examples, these two are the old clans of Wusa, one is a Miao and the other is a Han people, both of whom developed and prospered during the Gaozu period.

For decades, the two families have been fighting, either the east wind overpowers the west wind, or the west wind overpowers the east wind.

Twenty years ago, Wusa was not so chaotic as it is now, the Yang family was Han Chinese, and the relationship between the county sent by the imperial court was irreversible, and Yang Siming, the eldest young master of the Yang family, was recommended by the county to make the history of Wusa, and became the second-in-command of the Wusa County Ya.

For a time, the limelight of the Yang family overshadowed the other five families, and the Ma family was also pressed down.

But within a few years, the magistrate was transferred from Wusa, and the Ma family climbed to the Annan Palace, and relied on the in-laws to get the salt introduction, and the power developed rapidly.

At this time, Liang Yi began to make trouble, and the six tribes of Wumeng suffered greatly, and Wusa was even more chaotic.

The Ma family, together with the An family, who are also Yi people, suppressed the Yang family together, forcing Yang Siming to take the initiative to give up the post of canon, and the old owner of the Ma family controlled the county government instead.

The county order sent by the imperial court was calculated by the Ma family several times, and in the end no one dared to come to Wusa, and the Liang prefect had no choice but to recommend Ma Zhongtai to be the county minister and act as an agent for Wusa's affairs.

For more than ten years, the Ma family has expanded vigorously and become the head of the six major families, and the Yang family has to lie dormant due to the situation, but they firmly remember the hatred of the year.

In the past, everyone looked kind, even if they knew it, but no one broke it.

But now, Gu Jialuo tore the layer of window paper in public, and the Yang family and the Ma family ...... It's no wonder that the Feng family will change his face, and the Zhu family will secretly hate.

Although the Zhu family is not afraid of the Yang family, at this critical moment, if the Yang family has other thoughts, it will affect the entire plan!

"What the widow said is that Mrs. Feng is the most knowledgeable, loving and kind person, and the concubine is also very admired."

Zhu stepped forward with a smile and gave Feng a look.

Feng's heart sank, and when she met Zhu's deep eyes, she couldn't help but shudder, and said sneeringly: "Zhu, Mrs. Zhu and the widow are falsely praised. ”

Zhu nodded in satisfaction.

Gu Jialuo was secretly thinking about himself, well, in Feng's words, he actually put the Zhu family in front of her Gu Jialuo. In other words, in the minds of Feng and other noblewomen, Zhu is the first lady of Wusa.

And she Gu Jialuo...... I guess there is only the word 'hehe'.

Feng originally came over to show goodwill and gave Gu Jialuo a favor.

With this section, she lost her interest and stood next to her to make a set board.

On the contrary, it was the Zhu family who took over the conversation and led Gu Jialuo to meet several noble ladies.

After greeting each other and greeting each other, the atmosphere eased a lot.

Several noble ladies were surprised to find that the noble girl from the capital in front of them was very clear about their situation.

The Zhu family only said one 'An family', and Gu Jialuo directly pointed out the relationship between the An family and the Shuixi family, and praised the children and nephews of the An family one by one very casually.

That look, it is clear that he knows the affairs of the An family well.

What surprised everyone even more was that Gu Jialuo could still speak some daily Yi and Miao languages, and he was extremely fluent in southwestern official dialect.

"Ruren, you have a heart."

Even the closest mother of the An family, Zhan, couldn't help but praise it, and gave a thumbs up in her heart.

This is the style that really wants to integrate into the southwest, and what satisfies the Zhan family the most is that when Gu Jialuo looked at these 'Yi girls', there was no look of disdain or disgust in his eyes, and his words were also kind, not deliberately flattering, nor deliberately contemptuous, but treated with an equal mentality.

Qi Gu's family, sure enough, is different from those sour and rotten Han ladies, and she is worthy of being Qi Jinzhi's wife!

Zhan's silently gave an evaluation, but his face was still faint.

"Auntie!"

Ah Zhuo squeezed in from the crowd, hugged Zhan's arm, and greeted him affectionately.

She and the Zhan family are not close aunts and nephews, but they are of the same clan, but before the Zhan family got married, they had a very good relationship with Ah Zhuo's mother, and the two families were closer than ordinary clansmen.

"You monkey, you have no conscience, you don't come to Usa to see your aunt first?"

Zhan reached out and poked Ah Zhuo's forehead, and scolded with a smile, "Look at the sweat on this end, where did you go again?" ”

Ah Zhuo smiled and said: "I don't want to surprise my aunt, besides, I came to Usa, but there are important matters, and I can't abolish the public for personal reasons." ”

As she spoke, she deliberately glanced at Gu Jialuo with her eyes, obviously, her so-called 'big thing' was related to Gu Jialuo.

Zhan Shi frowned, and asked with a little worry, "Ah Zhuo, you didn't cause any trouble, did you?" ”

This niece has always been simple, quick-tempered, and easy to be taken advantage of.

Zhan lowered his eyelids to cover the safety of his eyes.

"Oh, auntie, I'm not a child, how can I get into trouble?"

Ah Zhuo pouted dissatisfiedly, "Don't worry, I'm really serious this time." ”

Zhan opened his mouth, but still didn't say anything. This was not the time to talk, and she would have a good chat with Azhuo after the Torch Festival ceremony was over.

The Zhu family couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, she could fool Ah Zhuo, but she couldn't fool the Zhan family, she only hoped that this plan could go smoothly, so even if the Zhan family found out the truth, they wouldn't dare to do anything to her!

At this moment, the sound of drums around them stopped for a while, and everyone closed their mouths one after another, looking at the green pine in the center.

The ceremony officially began.

I saw two men wearing strange masks and straw hats, with pheasant feathers on their heads, and 'mountain grass coats' on their bodies, and they carried gongs and fans in their hands, and struck the gongs according to the rhythm.

"It's a big gong and sheng dance, and it's only danced on a big festival like the Torch Festival."

Zhu danced his body to the rhythm while helping Gu Jialuo explain kindly.

Gu Jialuo bowed his head, looked left and right, and found that everyone was dancing with the two men in front of him, and his mouth still didn't let out a shout of 'Luo Liluo', and the atmosphere that had just fallen silent was instantly ignited again.

Gu Jialuo followed the customs of the locals, learned from everyone's appearance, and danced.

After a dance, the shaman chanted, then held the torch high, walked to the green pine, and lit the pile of firewood and grass like a pagoda.

A strange light flashed in Zhu's eyes, and he quietly retreated, and soon disappeared into the crowd.

Gu Jialuo suddenly had a palpitation, and she had an ominous premonition, she subconsciously turned her head to look for Zhu, but just happened to see her disappearing back.

"Boom~"

There was a violent explosion, and a dazzling red light came out of the center of the venue.

"Ah~~"

"Help~"

"It's on fire, come on, come and put out the fire!"

The screams came one after another, and the originally harmonious and festive venue instantly turned into a Shura field......
