Chapter 33: The Lord of Qingling
Why is he angry? I was thinking about it when suddenly the door to the ballroom closed! A black curtain was lowered in front of the window, and all the candles in the room were extinguished, and the whole room was plunged into darkness. A figure quickly entered the hall before the door closed www.biquge.info the pen "fun" pavilion, I had good dynamic eyesight, and I happened to witness all this at the door, and the darkness that burst into it caused a small commotion, but after a while everyone was quiet, and was speechless in surprise because of the extremely beautiful picture.
The room gradually lit up with a little fluorescent light, and more and more fireflies flew in the air, lighting up the entire hall. Although the light is faint, it has a more secluded beauty. The fireflies converge in the center of the hall and gather around a young woman on the dance floor. She has a graceful posture, her face is like a peach blossom, her eyes are like a cut of autumn water, and she is looking forward to lingering.
The music rose softly, her limbs moved gently, and the fireflies danced with her fingertips, gathering and dispersing. After a while, the fluorescent light joined into a flower, and she turned into a fairy among the flowers; After a while, the fluorescent light connected into several small animals, and she played happily with them; After a while, the fireflies joined into a sea of fire, and she fought bravely against .......
Her dancing was stunning, and the guests were amazed. Only I was amazed and a little sad, because from the mouths of the people around me, I learned that she was the county lord of Qingling, Xiao Hanqi's future wife! …… She is so beautiful, so beautiful that it amazes me, makes me envious, makes me feel inferior, and makes me despair. If I were Xiao Hanqi, I would probably like her too......
Dance is over! The door is reopened, the black curtain is rolled up, and the lights are back on! The county lord of Qingling greeted everyone, and everyone praised her, even Xiao Hanqian responded to her every word with a slight smile. She sat back beside Xiao Hanqi, and the banquet officially began. There was another group of dancing women on the dance floor, if it weren't for the dance of the Qingling County Lord just now, their dance should be extremely beautiful! It's a pity that "except for Wushan, it is not a cloud", the guests can no longer look down on their dancing, and they only care about pushing each other's cups and changing lamps to talk, and the atmosphere is also harmonious and harmonious.
The guests only cared about chatting with the county lord and the prince, naturally no one cared about the three of us, and we were happy. There is only one bad thing, that is, I am wearing too little today, only a wide-sleeved thin skirt with light blue and white gauze on the floor, sitting at the door and being blown by the cool breeze in the night, which is comparable to a sentence!
Seeing that the hour was not too early, I had the idea of retreating and asked Xiaoxue and Blaze if they wanted to go home? Because I have to change my clothes and report to the yamen next, and then go on patrol, I am afraid that I will be late if I delay it any longer. In fact, the two of them had long wanted to leave, and this banquet had no attraction for the three of us except for eating, and there was no need to stay any longer after eating enough.
But when it came to asking anyone to tell Master, we all retreated, and no one had the courage to walk to Master in full view of everyone on such an occasion, and we all made a mistake for this. Three, you push me, I push you. I'm even more determined, I don't believe that they can still sit still when the time is almost up, I eat delicious food while watching the show like a normal person, pretending to be uncomfortable.
Xiaoxue used the same tactics as I did; Only Flame Heart looked anxious, hesitating and not knowing what to do. It won't be long before the flames can't sit still. Xiaoxue glanced at me, and we both snickered in our hearts. Although it is not authentic to bully honest people, who made him our senior brother? Of course, he had to come out first.
The entanglement of the flames has not yet come to fruition, I can't stand it anymore, my body is too cold, and my fingertips are starting to wood, this is the early autumn, how can I survive it in winter? I was putting my finger to my mouth when suddenly my body sank and I found that it was a red hooded cloak lined with snow-white fur. When I looked back, it turned out that the person who put the cloak on me was Ziyu. When I looked back at her, she bowed.
I haven't seen her for a few days and I miss her, so I said happily: "Ziyu...... It's you! How is everything? How are you doing? ”
Ziyu replied: "Miss Xie Rong'er is worried, Ziyu is fine." After she finished speaking, she picked up a bowl from the tray in the hand of the maid behind her, handed it to me, and continued, "It's time for the young lady to drink the medicine." ”
I knew that I should take medicine when I was sick, but I still couldn't stand this big bowl of pungent and turbid decoction, and I thought that it would be nice if there were pill capsules in this world, it would be much better than this. I reluctantly took the bowl, pinched my nose and poured it down, its taste was not much better than its smell, and my facial features were almost twisted together.
Usually when I drank the medicine after breakfast and dinner, Xiaoxue and Blaze would watch me laugh on the sidelines, use my expression as a joke, and laugh out loud without fear, which is almost becoming a regular entertainment program in our family. This time they didn't dare to laugh out loud again, and their faces were flushed, which made me very relieved.
Ziyu handed me another glass of mouthwash, and when I was done, she turned around to leave. Xiaoxue suddenly pulled my sleeve and glanced at me, I suddenly remembered what had just happened, called Ziyu back and asked her to help pass the word, and whispered in her ear to tell her what she was going to bring to Master.
Ziyu turned around and was about to leave again after listening carefully, and I saw the cloak on my body and called her back again, telling her that I was leaving anyway, so let her take the cloak back. As a result, she said that this cloak was originally made for me, I won't wear it back today, and I will send it to the master's mansion tomorrow, begging me not to trouble her to run errands again, I have to accept it, anyway, I don't accept Xiao Hanqi's things once or twice, and I have no face to pretend to be serious for a long time.
I finished speaking, but Ke Ziyu was not in a hurry to leave, wanting to wait to see if I had anything else to explain to her, and after receiving my affirmative answer, she walked to the master's position. Our eyes followed Ziyu's figure to Master, and she whispered a few words to Master, who turned his head and nodded at us. After getting Master's consent, the three of us quietly got up.
Just as he was about to leave, suddenly the voice of the county lord of Qingling came: "Eh? …… The three little heroes who got up over there, but Uncle Qianshi, your precious apprentice? ”
As soon as the county lord's words fell, the eyes of the audience focused on the three of us. The three of us twitched the corners of our mouths, rolled our eyes, and then changed our smiles in an instant, and turned back to face the hall under everyone's attention.
The master didn't reply to the county lord first, but ordered us: "You three little guys, don't come forward and see the county lord soon!" "I took off my cloak and put it back in my original position, and walked to the front with Xiaoxue Blaze, and the three of us were about to bow down to the county lord.
The county lord took the first step and said, "I'll be exempt from the ceremony!" Uncle Qianqiu is the only apprentice of the emperor's grandfather, and in terms of seniority, he can be above me and my brother, and your apprentice is the emperor's grandfather's apprentice! If you want to make a big gift...... How can Yingyu afford it? ”
I'll go! Master turned out to be so good! Ever since I knew that Xiao Hanqian was the prince, I was a little puzzled, why was the master so unkind to Xiao Hanqian, and called him by his name directly, it turned out that the master's backstage was so hard! No wonder the people in the government are so polite to Master.
The master shook the folding fan in his hand and said: "The county lord is really good at laughing, I have no merit and no name and no lord, I am a flat-headed commoner, and when I see the county lord, I naturally can't miss the courtesy, let alone my apprentices?" But of course, what the county lord said is to be listened to, since the banquet today is all friends, then there is no need to make any big gifts, the three of you will give the county lord a blessing! "We saluted the county lord according to Master's words, and gave our names to each other. I don't know if it's my delusion, but I always feel that the conversation between the master and the county lord has a bit of gunpowder in it.
The county lord excused us with a smile, turned his head and said to the master with a smile: "When I went back to Yong'an to see the emperor's grandfather some time ago, I heard a lot of rumors about Uncle Shi's apprentices, and everyone praised Uncle Shi's disciples as young heroes and chivalrous and courageous. When I saw it today, I knew that the three of them were indeed dragons and phoenixes among people, which made Yingyu envious. ”
"The county lord has won the award, and the word hero doesn't dare to be a hero. These three little things in my family usually like to hug a little grievance, play tricks on a little hooligan in the market, and they really can't do serious things, but their ability to mess around is getting bigger, which makes the county lord of Qingling make fun of it. ”
"Uncle Shi is too modest! Let's not talk about how many earth-shattering things Lie Shaoxia and Wei Nuxia have done with Uncle Shi in the past, let's just talk about your youngest apprentice, who single-handedly fought against masters such as Qiu Aojun and rescued several girls under her, how many people can match in terms of courage and wisdom? Uncle Shi, you have a really good vision, and you have accepted three such powerful disciples. But Uncle Shi, you are too domineering, they all say that you are a teacher for one day and a father for life, and you have both children and daughters, and you don't say that you let one give me my brother. Heard...... Your little apprentice was rescued by my brother! If you want to take the wheel, it's also the priority of Brother Yan, right? ”
I don't know if the county lord said these words intentionally or unintentionally, but I heard an indescribable anger in my heart, and my hands clenched tightly in my sleeves...... Bear with it.
Master's eyes narrowed into a line, and he said with a smile: "The county lord is trying to rob my apprentice?" I used to have two apprentices, yes, but everyone has a father and a mother, and sooner or later they will leave my side. Rong'er is different, she is an orphan, and it just so happens that I am an old bachelor who may not be wanted for the rest of my life, keep her by my side as a daughter, and find a golden beetle son-in-law in the future, and expect them to give me a pension in the future! How am I willing to give it to others. Besides...... "Master raised his eyes and looked at Lord Qingling. "It is said that heroes save beauty, and beauties often repay their benefactors with their bodies, such stories abound throughout the ages, and how many fairy couples have been achieved. I've never heard of anyone repaying the favor by recognizing their father, and besides, it's too late for the county lord to do so, so can I change my dad anyway? The county lord's thinking is really different, which is amazing! ”
