10. Chapter IX
"Little uncle, this medicinal wine can be used externally to invigorate blood and dispel blood stasis, and internal use can strengthen the body. You are weak and need to drink this wine. ”
After feeding Lan Yi the tiger's claws, I handed the wine jar to his lips.
Lan Yi's deep eyes looked into the wine jar, and his expression was indescribably entangled: "Sister-in-law, what is brewed in this medicinal wine?" ”
I thought for a moment and said, "There are tiger whips, bison whips, lion whips, panther whips, gray wolf whips, and red fox whips. My father said that this is a six-lash wine, and if a man drinks this wine, even if he gallops on the battlefield and fights for 300 rounds, he will still be able to stand. ”
"Ahem......"
As soon as I finished speaking, Lan Yi gasped and coughed red.
"Little uncle, what's wrong with you? Hurry up and have a drink and go well. ”
"Sister-in-law, you don't have to." Lan Yi avoided the wine jar I sent to his mouth like a plague, and said with a red face: "Sister-in-law, Ah Yi is worried that she will be choked again when drinking, and the spicy taste will not enter the trachea, which is very uncomfortable. ”
"Oh, yes." I took back the wine jar and said silently: "Daddy didn't say what effect a woman would have if she drank this wine. However, with my body, even if I don't drink this wine, I can still fight 300 rounds on the battlefield and still stand. ”
"Ahem......"
Lan Yi's coughing sound sounded in his ears again, and he saw that his face was getting redder and redder when he coughed. Where did I still have the desire to drink, so I hurriedly put down the wine jar and calmed him down: "Little uncle, is this mountain wind too cold, and your body and bones can't withstand the coolness?" Or...... Are we going home now? ”
In fact...... I was extremely reluctant to go back to the Blue Mansion.
As soon as I stepped into the gate of the Lan Mansion, I would think sadly of the first task that I had been given to me, and my nerves would ache to think of the face of Old Madam Lan with nostrils on the door of my head. And...... Today's beating of Song Yuzhen in Wuwei Ju will definitely reach the ears of Old Madam Lan. At that time, I'm afraid it will be as simple as punishing me to copy the house rules 500 times.
"Okay." Lan Yi said with relief when he heard this.
"Little uncle, I finally came out for a trip, do you really want to go back so soon? Or...... I'll take off the cedar for you? ”
Lan Yi looked at me quietly, and those dark and deep eyes seemed to have seen through my thoughts. He pondered for a long time and then said, "Sister-in-law, except for chickens, tigers and jackals are not afraid, so why should you be afraid of the old lady?" ”
The hanged man really saw through what I was thinking. I wrinkled my hands and frowned, "As the saying goes, a woman's power is stronger than a tiger. What's more, the old lady is still an old woman who owns eighteen baked cake shops. I wasn't afraid of her, but she was like a kitchen knife to me, and I was a fish that she slaughtered while tied to a chopping board, unable to fight back or even escape. There is nothing more helpless than this in the world. ”
At this time, I took a deep breath in frustration, drooped my head, and suddenly felt that a hand was still gently caressing the top of my hair, and I heard Lan Yi say: "There are always some things in this world, no matter how you dodge, you must face them in the end." Since you can't escape, you can't hide, so why waste your good time on lamenting and worrying. ”
This tone, this action...... Like my mother!
I still remember that in the past, I accidentally broke the jade seal of the country and used the recital that the mother had reviewed to roast the meat, and the mother mother taught me in such a soft voice and touching my head......
A kind warm current flowed through my heart, smelling the faint medicinal fragrance lingering on the tip of my nose, I looked up at Lan Yi's pale face and said, "Little uncle, do you want me to carry you back?" ”
As I expected, Lan Yi rejected me.
Then Lan Yi and I walked on the forest path, and when we saw that the sky was blue and the wildflowers were gorgeous, I said, "Little uncle, do you know that the peach blossom banquet will be held in Zishuipo seven days later." ”
Lan Yi turned his head to look at me: "Sister-in-law wants to see it?" ”
I scratched my hair noncommittally: "In previous years, the peach blossoms on Zishuipo bloomed, and I always chose to go when there were few people on cloudy days, so as to save me a sweat, and I was worried that the children who walked to my feet would be kicked away if I was not careful." So I ...... I haven't been to see the Peach Blossom Banquet yet. ”
Lan Yi chuckled and said, "Isn't my sister-in-law worried about squeezing out a sweat and kicking the child when she goes to the peach blossom banquet this year?" ”
I frowned and muttered in a low voice, "Even so, I must attend this year's Peach Blossom Banquet......"
"Sister-in-law, what did you say?"
"Doom...... No, I was just curious. ”
When Lan Yi heard this, he told him that the Peach Blossom Banquet was organized by the owner of the Treasure Pavilion, Prince Fu Su, and would be held on the sixth day of April every year. At the annual Peach Blossom Banquet, Fusu Gongzi will hold three competitions, and the winners of these three competitions will be able to obtain a unique peach blossom hairpin created by the Treasure Pavilion, which is different every year. Although the peach blossom hairpin is extremely beautiful, the women who participated in the competition cared more about the title of peach blossom beauty.
My tiger body was shocked: "Peach Blossom Beauty?!" Isn't this the town's annual beauty pageant in disguise? ”
"Yes." Lan Yi nodded: "You can also say that." ”
My kidneys hurt hard, and I felt the malice from the skull......
I opened my mouth and squeezed out my voice with difficulty: "Little uncle, what are the three competitions of the Peach Blossom Banquet to try?" ”
Seeing me ask, a trace of surprise flashed from Lan Yi's eyes: "Ah Yi remembers the three competitions of the Peach Blossom Banquet last year, and the comparisons were, three thousand peach blossoms, rain hitting peach blossoms, and peach blossoms are difficult to paint. The three competitions of the Peach Blossom Banquet the year before last were respectively, the peach blossoms were alone, the wind blew the peach blossoms, and the peach blossoms were silent. ”
I twitched: "Little uncle, please talk to people." ”
Lan Yi explained: "The peach blossom 3,000 is a painting, the rain hitting the peach blossom is a drumming, and the peach blossom is difficult to paint is playing the piano." The peach blossom solo show is embroidery, the wind blows the peach blossom is a fan dance, and the peach blossom is silent is a poem. ”
The kidneys hurt again. In the palace, there are painters for painting, musicians for drumming and playing the piano, dancing girls, embroidery for embroidery, and champions for poetry. As the heir of the daughter country of Kyushu, this princess usually learns the way of governing the country and the country, and the rest of her energy is buried in the road of seeking immortals. Princess Ben rarely has time to study piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, let alone female celebrity dancing......
"Celestial princess, even if you say it so tactfully, it can't hide the fact that you were born with a crippled hand and incomplete five tones."
Hearing the voice of the truth, I said angrily: "Shut up for me!" ”
Lan Yi, who was walking beside me, paused, and raised his eyes to see his thin lips pursed, and his face became even paler. I hurriedly said, "Little uncle, I didn't mean that. I had an idea, and I stood on tiptoe and brushed my fingertips over Lan Yi's thin lips.
The touch under the fingertips is slightly cool and soft, and this kind of touch is familiar......
Seeing Lan Yi's eyes wide and looking at me, I hurriedly explained, "Little uncle, you have tiger hair on your mouth. ”
Because of my weak heart, I didn't dare to look at Lan Yi's eyes again, so I immediately turned around and walked in front of Lan Yi, and said, "Little uncle, it's windy here, and I'm walking in front just to block the wind for you." ”
I then looked at the dark clouds slowly drifting in the sky, gritted my teeth in my heart and said, "What do you mean by suddenly running out to expose my shortcomings?" ”
"The immortal just can't bear to see you deceive yourself."
"Doom...... I just killed a tiger and had a meal. You actually failed on a blind date again in such a short period of time? ”
"How do you know?!"
I said, "There was a thick resentment in your tone. In other words, this is the first blind date failure in your life? ”
"The thousandth ...... Wait, why did Ben Shangxian sue you? Ben Shangxian is just here to remind you that you must get the peach blossom hairpin through three competitions. If you get the peach blossom hairpin by abduction and burglary, it will be considered a failure of this mission. At that time, you can simply close your eyes and kick your feet to return to your original body. ”
"I'm so tired...... You know that I was born with a handicapped hand and incomplete five tones, so you still let me go to the peach blossom banquet. Don't you show that you're cheating me? ”
"Celestial Princess, as the saying goes, where there is a will, there is a way. I'm optimistic about you, waving. ”
“……”
When Lan Yi and I returned to the Lan Mansion, I was ready to fight with Old Lady Lan because of Song Yuzhen's beating by me.
Unexpectedly, there was no movement on Mrs. Lan's side.
No, she's in charge of eighteen bakeries in Holly Town, and it stands to reason that the news will reach her ears soon.
But at this time, the matter of the Peach Blossom Banquet was imminent, and I didn't have the heart to worry about whether Old Madam Lan knew about my beating of Song Yuzhen.
So, that night, I didn't sleep all night and painted nearly 100 paintings, and picked out one of the paintings that I was most satisfied with and brought it to Lan Yi to enjoy.
Generally speaking, the better the work, the longer it will be appreciated.
Sure enough, Lan Yi took my painting and looked at it for nearly half of the incense.
I couldn't put it down when I saw him holding my painting, looking left and right, and looking up and down. I couldn't help blinking my eyes and asked expectantly, "Little uncle, what do you think of my painting?" ”
Lan Yi looked at me when he heard this, then at the painting, and continued to ponder.
It seems that my painting must be good, and it is difficult for Lan Yi to organize words to praise me.
However, at this moment, Lan Yi said, "Sister-in-law, what are you...... Painting grapes? ”
At this moment, I seemed to hear the sound of hope in my heart shattering into slag.
Little uncle, are you blind?!
My painting is clearly a peach blossom!
Seeing that I was palely and clutching my chest, Lan Yi hurriedly put down the painting and said, "Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you?" But not feeling well? ”
"No problem." I just feel like I'm ten years old in an instant......
I trembled and stretched out my finger to point to the painting that Lan Yi put on the table: "Can't the little uncle see that I painted peach blossoms?" ”
"Sister-in-law, this is you...... Painted peach blossoms? ”
Hang Ghost, can you not put on a look like you have seen a ghost, and you are so shocked that you don't want it!
I took a deep breath, nodded frustratedly, and said, "Little uncle, do you know how to draw peach blossoms?" ”
Lan Yi was stunned when he heard this: "Why don't Ah Yi draw it for her sister-in-law?" ”
If the full score is 10 points, in line with the principles of fairness, justice and openness, the peach blossom picture I painted should be able to get six points, the peach blossom picture painted by my daughter Chinese painter may have eight points, and Lan Yi's painting ......
I'm sorry, but I just looked at the way he looked when he was concentrating on painting, and I forgot to look at the peach blossoms he painted.
It's just that Lan Yi's focused expression always makes me unable to take my eyes off. With difficulty, I shifted my gaze from Lan Yi's serious face to the paper in front of him.
In the next moment, I couldn't help but put on a look as if I had seen a ghost, and I was so shocked that I didn't want to.
"Little uncle, this is you...... Painted peach blossoms? ”
