33. Red shoes.
CHAPTER XXXIII. Red shoes.
The three-day appointment made with Aunt Gongsun was close at hand, and early on the morning of the fourth day, Xue Bing came to look for Jun Xuan in a hurry, she wanted to take her to the headquarters of Red Shoes to meet the rest of the sisters - from beginning to end, Xue Bing never thought that Jun Xuan would refuse.
Ye Gucheng didn't stop Jun Xuan, it was Lu Xiaofeng who stopped Jun Xuan. At this moment, he had already met with Grandma Xiong dressed as Aunt Gongsun in the West Garden, and was almost poisoned by her chestnuts. And Jin Jiuling has also been poisoned, so Lu Xiaofeng wants to find Aunt Gongsun no matter what.
Xue Bing never expected that Lu Xiaofeng would stop them and go with them. When she was blocked by Lu Xiaofeng, she was like a child who made a mistake and was caught by her parents, and subconsciously hid behind Jun Xuan and didn't look at Lu Xiaofeng's gaze.
"Lu Xiaofeng, you don't have to worry about Jin Jiuling's poison." Jun Xuan stood in front of Xue Bing, even though Xue Bing was a head taller than her when he saw it. The petite girl frowned slightly, and blocked Lu Xiaofeng's hand with her sword body trying to hold Xue Bing's hand.
Lu Xiaofeng was born with a smiling face, and he always looked like a good bully. But he was really stern, but he only had the momentum of a martial arts master. He looked at the two little girls standing in front of him, one after the other, and only felt that his head was about to hurt suddenly.
Their courage is inevitably too great, how can a woman like Gongsun Lan be easy to get along with?
Jun Xuan saw that Lu Xiaofeng didn't speak, thinking that he was still worried about Jin Jiuling's poison, after thinking about it, she still said to Lu Xiaofeng: "He won't be poisoned." β
Lu Xiaofeng was not worried about Jin Jiuling, because he no longer regarded him as a friend.
Hua Manlou always said that Lu Xiaofeng's heart was as soft as tofu. But Lu Xiaofeng has been exploring for days and seen one blind man after another who has been blinded by the embroidery thief, and he feels that his heart has been able to harden.
He simply stood in front of these two little girls and whispered to Jun Xuan: "I said Xiaodao Aunt, you have never been a fool, red shoes are not fun, don't let your senior brother worry." β
Saying that, Lu Xiaofeng glanced at Xue Bing deeply, opened his mouth, and finally said dryly: "Mrs. Xue is the only heir of you, Bingbing, don't make people feel uneasy." Lu Xiaofeng didn't know what was wrong with him, in front of Xue Bing, he seemed to have lost the ability to play those games, and he had been a little clumsy recently.
Xue Bing was blushed by his eyes, but he still snorted at him with his neck twisted: "I'm going to see my sister, what's so worrying!" β
Lu Xiaofeng smiled bitterly, and just wanted to tell her that Gongsun Lan is not a simple person, and she is definitely not a good sister who loves her sister, but before his words could be spoken, Jun Xuan raised his wrist lightly, clenched the long sword in his hand, and said to Lu Xiaofeng: "The power of the sword should be fine." β
Lu Xiaofeng took Jun Xuan's sword, and he knew that Jun Xuan was not just a little girl who had not yet reached the end of the sentence. It can even be said that with the power of that sword alone, there are few opponents in the rivers and lakes. However, what about β‘β‘? What about the plot? What about ambushes? For an old Jianghu like Lu Xiaofeng, Jun Xuan is too young and his mind is too pure.
Facing a woman who is known for her viciousness and cunning, Lu Xiaofeng is not at ease at all. What's more, there is also a Xue Bing who is completely defenseless against Gongsun Lan.
couldn't persuade him, there was no way, Lu Xiaofeng had to say: "Then I'll go with you, it just so happens that I also have something to discuss with Aunt Gongsun." β
This time, Jun Xuan did not refuse again.
Xue Bing looked at Jun Xuan and saw that she didn't react, so she had to bite her lip, glared at Lu Xiaofeng, and said, "Take irrelevant people to go, the eldest sister will be angry." β
At this time, they only smelled a fragrance wafting from afar, which seemed to be floral, and seemed to have the fragrance of fat powder. The aroma is not strong, but it is impossible to ignore.
A graceful and moving figure seemed to be a falling flower, and she didn't see how she moved, so she fell from the sky lightly. Jun Xuan looked at it, Gongsun Lan's face was different from last time, although it was still very beautiful, but it was another charm.
Gongsun Lan smiled at Lu Xiaofeng and Jun Xuan, and then said: "Bing'er, how can the eldest sister be angry with you, since Lu Gongzi wants to go, you can just take him there." β
Lu Xiaofeng also found out, and at this time, Gongsun Lan's voice also changed with her appearance. He and Situ Juexing are friends who grew up together since childhood, and naturally know that if you want to change a person's voice, you have to have a subtle and profound internal force.
Lu Xiaofeng's heart was shocked, but his face was still smiling. The four of them exchanged glances with each other, and they all jumped up and flew out of the Pingnan Palace. In the blue sky, the four of them were only a trace of afterimage.
They soon arrived at a small building, it was still morning, and there was no sound in the small building, not even a child answering the door, but there was a table of exquisite wine and food on the bamboo table facing the door.
Lu Xiaofeng glanced at the dishes on the table, most of the dishes on that table were sweet and soft, and occasionally there were a few plates of red and hot Sichuan dishes, which made people feel hot and painful in their mouths and stomachs when they saw them.
There were ten pairs of dishes and chopsticks on the table, Gongsun Lan walked to the table and sat down, picked up a piece of hoof tip that looked ruthless and bone-picked, took a bite, she shook her head, and said, "I didn't expect that this time it was me the first to come." β
"Don't you think it's spicy?" Lu Xiaofeng watched her eat hot food without any difference, walked to sit down next to her, and poured herself a glass of wine.
Gongsun Lan simply put a chopstick chili pepper in her mouth, and smiled very confusingly: "My heart is cold, don't you want to use this thing to warm up?" β
Lu Xiaofeng's hand holding the wine paused, but then laughed. He didn't answer Gongsun Lan's words, but patted the seat next to him and said to Xue Bing, "Bingbing, come, come and sit here." β
Xue Bing snorted coldly, but deliberately sat down opposite him, and pulled Jun Xuan to sit down by the way.
Just as Jun Xuan sat down, the sound of several extremely light clothes flying came, and from the windows of this small building with windows open on all sides, several figures of various colors came in almost at the same time. Jun Xuan looked at these people one by one, and found that except for Jiang Qingxia, who she had seen before, she didn't know the rest of the people.
After the others came in through the window, they either teased each other or talked to Gongsun Lan, and even Xue Bing was pulled by a girl in red clothes to gossip. Maybe Gongsun Lan had already informed them before, and these women didn't show the slightest interest in Lu Xiaofeng and Jun Xuan, who shouldn't have appearedβthey didn't even have anyone who looked at them.
Even so, Jun Xuan did not feel left out. Her sword rested on her lap, and she sat upright.
After about a whole cup of tea, Gongsun Lan stretched out her hand to make a "quiet" posture and said to everyone: "Just now, our sisters are frolicking, and we almost missed the right thing, come on, let's introduce to you, this is the ninth sister I am talking about." Xuan'er, these are your sisters. β
Jun Xuan's face was like sinking water, sitting upright. interrupted Gongsun Lan's words to introduce these women one by one, and the little girl's voice was particularly cold. She only said: "Poor Dao Juehui." β
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere that was still warm suddenly cooled down, and a nun in Tsing Yi suddenly stood up and slapped her long sword on the table, she sneered and said coldly: "My sister said what the Taoist name is called, aren't my fifth sister and I a monk?" β
With her movements, Jun Xuan's gaze fell on her sword. The sword wasn't long, but it was brilliant and full of spirit. Just flicked his fingers, and there was a dragon groaning endlessly.
When Lu Xiaofeng saw that sword, he couldn't help but want to praise "good sword". At the same time, he couldn't help but start looking at Jun Xuan's sword. Lu Xiaofeng is not a careless person, he has repeatedly seen Jun Xuan take out a sword before, and even took her sword personally, but at this moment, he suddenly realized that he had never paid attention to Jun Xuan's sword.
It was a long sword, it was certainly sharp, but it was not good.
The sword in Jun Xuan's hand is indeed not good, because it was only a random blacksmith shop in Baiyun City that cost half a tael of silver, and there is nothing worth bragging about around the sword, if it has to be said to be unusual, it is just that the old housekeeper of Baiyun City can't see his own young lady using such a clumsy sword, but he can't influence Jun Xuan's decision, and in the end he has to pay a lot of money to make a beautiful and atmospheric scabbard for her.
But anyone who looks at Jun Xuan's sword will praise a good sword. Because the good thing is not her sword, but the sword momentum that comes with her person, and that sword momentum always makes people feel that her sword is herself. And the one who really deserves the word "good" is Jun Xuan.
Lu Xiaofeng was shocked to find that Jun Xuan had been out of the island for several months and had fought several battles undefeated, not because of the advantages of weapons or the convenience of the times. Every battle she fought was said to rely on the sword in her hand, but rather on herself.
However, no matter how surprised Lu Xiaofeng was in his heart, Jun Xuan only glanced at the sword of the nun in green clothes, and his gaze didn't even stop.
The nun in Tsing Yi was almost enraged by Jun Xuan, but Gongsun Lan, who was sitting next to her, got up and put her sword back in her hand, and then smiled at Jun Xuan and said: "Then it's called Juehui, the name of Xuan'er, the ninth sister is afraid that she is only willing to let her brother call her." β
Gongsun Lan meant something, and all the people present were accustomed to Fengyue, so they quickly understood Gongsun Lan's voice.
To everyone's surprise, the young little Dao Gu nodded solemnly in the face of such explicit ridicule, and then said, "Well, only senior brother can call it that." β
She was frank and sloppy, as if she were saying something very ordinary. In fact, Jun Xuan didn't feel ashamed, she and her senior brother had already made up their minds with each other, so what could not be humane?
Lu Xiaofeng now regrets that he ate a mouthful of drunken fish, Jun Xuan's words were so shocked that he swallowed a mouthful of fish, and a thorn was stuck in his throat like this.
"Ahem, ahem...... Ahem......"
Lu Xiaofeng's painful cough woke up the stunned everyone, and the red-clothed girl next to Xue Bing was the first to laugh: "Haha, the ninth sister is so ashamed." Is the White Cloud City Lord your brother? β
Ouyang Qing also laughed lightly, knocked on the head of the girl in red, and she scolded lightly: "Sister, don't talk nonsense, the ninth sister is pure-minded, and she doesn't play those tricks." β
Even the nun in Tsing Yi, who was still angry at Jun Xuan, smiled, she withdrew her sword, and said to Jun Xuan: "Ninth sister said it a long time ago, and we sisters won't laugh at you." A character like City Lord Ye can also match our ninth sister. β
For a while, there was a burst of gossip in the small building, and the atmosphere that had just been frozen was actually active again.
