Chapter 31: Fate Meets You
The Acropolis, the second largest ancient city in the Southern Yao Kingdom, has a long history and is the birthplace of witchcraft. It's just that witchcraft was banned by the lord of the country many years ago, so many ancient spells have also been lost.
The Acropolis was commanded by Yang Zhen, the king of the south who had great military achievements, and only one son under his knees, named Yang Rubei.
Because he is an only son, Yang Zhen is quite indulgent to his son, so although Yang Rubei is outstanding in literature, he is extremely arrogant and lascivious, and the people in the city have long been miserable.
A little bit about the background.
Looking at the three of Mengli again, after a few days of hurrying, they finally arrived at the Acropolis smoothly.
The words "Acropolis" are written on the high city wall, and the handwriting is a little weathered, but it can still be seen to be vigorous and powerful.
Mo Wen drove into the city, and the shouts of small stall owners along the road came and went, and the city was very lively.
The three of them got out of the carriage in front of an inn, and Mengli looked up: Drunken Xiangju.
Xiao Er stepped forward to take the reins of the carriage, and said with a smile: "Please be in the guest officer." ”
The three of them went up to the second floor and sat down by the window. Xiao Er followed and stood at the table, and said with a smile on his eyebrows: "What does the guest officer want to eat?"
Lingmu Lisuo replied, "Put a copy of all your signboards here, and two more pots of wine." ”
Every time I come out to eat, it's like this, and I don't need to open my mouth at all.
"Okay, wait, officer. "Xiao Er likes such direct customers the most.
"Now that I'm in the Acropolis, does Master Mo have something to do?" Mengli wished that Mo Wen would hurry up, hurry up, don't be polite.
Mo Wen smiled helplessly, "I can't hide it, I actually want to travel in all directions, and there is no fixed destination." I just heard that the golden bells of this acropolis are blooming well, so I wanted to come and have a look. ”
"What's the matter, are you planning to get a long-term meal ticket?" Lingmu frowned and glared at Mo unceremoniously.
"You can pay for the food, and besides, you two women are too unsafe. ”
"Calendar?Is it some kind of thunderstorm or something?Just the one that fell on the head and popped?" She had read it in the book, and it seemed to be written like that.
Mo Wen smiled bitterly, "Not really." I don't know exactly what the calamity is, but the master has calculated that this calamity is coming. However, it must not be a thunderstorm. ”
"Oh......" Mengli, who was originally excited, instantly became bored.
They have no destination, so they will have to go together again.
Mengli pouted.
Mo Wen looked at Mengli with a disgusted face, Miss Mengli wanted him to be struck by lightning?
My body couldn't help but tremble.
As soon as they were quiet, the chatter of the two young ladies at the table entered their ears.
"Sister Wan'er, have you heard? The woman in Tsing Yi said softly.
The woman in pink said disapprehantly: "What's so strange about this, doesn't the Golden Linghua Club lead the Nanwang Mansion every year?"
"Wasn't King Lingnan transferred to the capital by the lord of the country, everyone originally thought that this year's Golden Linghua would not be done. ”
"Huh, yes...... Is it the son of the world who wants to hold it?"
"Isn't it? It's bigger than in previous years, and in the past, only the powerful were invited, but this year ordinary people may be able to go in and have a look. ”
"Really, then we can go too?" the woman in pink widened her eyes in surprise.
"It seems that I want to go to the palace in advance to get the name card, and I will inquire about the specific situation. ”
"However, the arrogance of the prince is still quite intimidating. ”
"You're stupid, how can you say this casually...... Be careful to make people listen. The woman in Tsing Yi frowned and reminded.
"Ah...... I was careless, Sister Jing. The woman in pink covered her mouth and lowered her head.
With that, the two of them stopped talking about it.
"Here's the food. Xiao Er put the dishes on the table and said with a smile: "The guest officer uses it slowly." ”
"Little Second Brother, is there any fun place in this city?" Meng Li asked with a smile.
Xiao Er thought for a while, and then said: "In a few days, the Lingnan Wangfu will hold the Golden Bell Flower Festival, which is the biggest pleasure in the city." ”
"What's there to see about this flower?" Lingmu asked.
"The guest officer is from out of town, maybe you don't know, you can't see this golden bell flower in other places. It was obtained by King Lingnan from the hands of sea bandits, and when it bloomed, it was like a golden bell, and it was very beautiful. Xiao Er's eyebrows fluttered and described.
"And ah, this year is different from previous years, if you want to go and see, you can go to Lingnan Wangfu to try your luck, if you can get the famous post, you can have a chance to see the golden bell flower the day after tomorrow." ”
"Why do you still need to get a name post?" Mengli asked suspiciously.
What are the rules, you have to get a name card to see a flower.
Xiao Er looked at the frowning Mengli and said with a smile: "This golden bell flower was only invited to watch by dignitaries in previous years. This year, the prince came up with a trick, called, called...... The viewer's identity and status are not restricted, and they only depend on whether they have a fate. ”
"Fate to meet, the prince is an elegant person. Mengli pondered and opened her mouth to say.
Does she want to try if there is a fate?
"This ...... The little ones don't dare to talk about the prince. You use it slowly, and the small ones go down first. Xiao Er smiled and bowed. The prince of this world is lawless, but his writing is good, but sometimes he is also elegant, it's hard to say.
Mengli nodded.
"Hmm. ”
Mengli looked at Mo and asked, "Didn't Master Mo originally say that he wanted to come to see the golden bell flower?"
"Yes, I also heard that the golden bell flower is beautiful, so I was curious to take a look. ”
"Then let's try it together, is there someone who is destined?" Mengli said with a smile.
"Good. ”
After the three of them finished eating, they walked towards the Lingnan Wangfu pointed by Xiao Er.
When I got closer, I found that there was a long queue in front of Lingnan Wangfu.
"It's ...... Queue up to try fate?" Mengli rolled her eyes, "Let's go, let's go and queue too." ”
The team looked very long, in fact, people entered and exited quickly, and after a while, Mengli followed the team to the front.
At the end of the line there was a long table with a wooden box on it. The people in line have to take out a paper ball from the wooden box, and if the paper ball is blank after unfolding, it will be eliminated directly. If the paper ball has words, you must also complete the requirements on the paper ball to get the name post.
Sure enough, this long line came down, and only a few people got the name post.
Soon it was the turn of the three, and Mengli came first.
Mengli reached into the wooden box, took out a paper ball, and unfolded the paper ball.
Anagram: Ninety-nine.
Mengli tilted her head and thought for a moment, "White." ”
"Congratulations, girl, this is your name post. The steward on the side smiled and handed over the poster.
Meng Li smiled, "Thank you." ”
took the name post, Mengli stood aside and waited for Mo to ask. Lingmu, as a maidservant, doesn't need a name.
Mo Wen stepped forward, took out a paper ball, and unfolded it.
Couplet: Big wood forest, pine cypress, sycamore, willow.
