[forty-two] aunt
Dugu Chen wandered in the courtyard that had been burned and could not see his true face, and he left the Kunlun faction this time, mainly for the sake of Mohu. So after discovering that there was a residual ink fox aura in Lanfu, he suddenly became a little confused, and he was anxious to ask for something. Lan Fei stood in front of the building, looking at his thoughtful appearance with his back, and wanted to turn back, but she sighed softly halfway through her movements and walked down the stone steps.
"Dugu Gongzi." Lan Fei bowed.
"Huh?" Dugu Chen turned around, "The girl has decided?" ”
"Yes." Lan Fei nodded, "Lan Fei decided to go to Kunlun Mountain to undergo the trial, please ...... Dugu Gongzi can show the way. Lan Fei bit her lip, she wanted to say "lead the way", but she felt that she was not related to him, but she was only one side, how could she ask too much of others.
Dugu Chen said: "Since the girl has decided, I naturally respect the girl's intentions." However, the fastest way to Kunlun is to need the sword, if you are in the next direction, even if the road is smooth, if it doesn't take a year and a half, the girl will not be able to come back. ”
Lan Fei was stunned: "That...... Edgeworth? ”
Dugu Chen said: "Originally, I could take the girl to the sword, and I arrived at Kunlun Mountain in half a day, but I had already promised the forester of Xianke Town to investigate the sudden shock of the prince in his house." In this case, it will be delayed for about three days. ”
Lan Fei was silent for a moment, one was to go by herself, and she had been walking for a year and a half, and the other was Edgeworth, and the delay plus Edgeworth was only three and a half days. So she said, "Can Lan Fei go to Cyclamen Town with Childe?" It's just that I don't know if Childe has any other arrangements after dealing with this matter? ”
Dugu Chen seemed to be a little surprised by her mentions, and he hadn't thought about taking her with him, how could a person who had always acted independently bring a strange girl. But now that he has promised his grandmother, and he simply pointed the way and let her go alone, he didn't think it was the eldest husband's doing, and he couldn't think of any better way for a while, so he said: "Not for the time being, after the matter of the Lin Mansion is dealt with, how about taking the girl to Kunlun Mountain in the next place?" ”
Lan Fei was blessed, which can be regarded as gratitude.
Seeing that the sky was slightly drunk, Duguchen also hugged his fists and said: "It's getting late today, it's better to leave tomorrow morning." Go back to the inn first, and then come to Lanfu to wait for the girl and say goodbye. ”
This night, I had no sleep.
Lan Fei tossed and turned on the bed and couldn't sleep, although she was happy that her grandmother's illness was finally cured, but this joy could not withstand the sadness of leaving home and her unknown to herself.
It was also after that swallow incident that she realized that she was different from others. At first, she had a very good relationship with the little girl next door, and when she found out about such a wonderful thing, she naturally wanted to share it with her as soon as she found out. But she was a little frightened, so she said half-truthfully: "I had a dream yesterday, I saved a dead swallow!" The little girl slapped her hands and smiled, and the straight way was interesting. But Lan Fei said tentatively, "If only I could really save the dead swallow, it would be good." The little girl's face changed suddenly, and she pouted, "If you can really save it, you will be a monster!" Don't go to life, you'll be burned! Have you forgotten 'Monster Yunrong'? ”
Lan Fei kept silent.
Yun Rong was three years older than them, and Lan Fei had seen her before. The young lady had always had only one eye, and one day she stood in front of the vegetable stall and stared at a pumpkin for a long time, and the pumpkin suddenly grew a long vine.
After that, Yun Rong was taken away and burned alive.
Lan Fei didn't dare to say it, at that time, Yun Rong was smiling faintly at another strange man standing next to the pumpkin, and the strange man said, "Look. With a move of his finger, the pumpkin quickly grew vines.
The rest of the people couldn't see it, but she did.
She was so scared, even her grandmother didn't dare to say anything about it, she didn't want to be burned alive.
Lan Fei sighed and turned inward again.
The next day, before dawn, Lan Fei went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for her grandmother. When he found that he had run out of food, he took off the only plain silver hairpin on his bun and prepared to go out to make some money.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw a strange woman smiling at me.
"Are you ......?" Lan asked, feeling a little familiar with the woman, but not feeling that she was anyone she had known before.
The woman was dressed plainly, but there was a faint look on her face, and she said, "Ah, this is a concubine?" It's all grown so tall! Seeing Lan Fei's inexplicable face, "No wonder you don't remember me, I'm your aunt!" Your father's biological sister! ”
Lan Fei thought about it, she didn't know where such an aunt came from, and she hadn't heard that her grandmother had a daughter. What's more, if there is, it should be married, why did you suddenly come to Lanfu? Thinking of this, Lan Fei said, "You...... Can I help you? ”
My aunt frowned: "Don't let my aunt enter the door?" As he spoke, he brushed away Lan Fei's hand on the door and walked in by herself, "Oh, what has become of this, I said Concubine, why were you so careless and burned the house?" ”
Lan Fei didn't say a word, just silently followed her to see what she was going to do.
My aunt continued: "Alas, it's been seventeen years since my brother left, and this building should be renovated, otherwise how can I live?" ”
Lan Fei was stunned: "You...... Want to live? ”
My aunt tilted her head slightly: "Yes, a big flood was sent to Cloud City and my house was flooded." The man in my family went a few years ago, and my daughter, who also married somewhere else, is the only one in the family. I can't rely on my daughter in such a situation now, so I'll go back here and see. After a pause, "Hey, where were you going?" ”
Lan Fei smiled reluctantly, she was still very suspicious of her aunt's identity, how dare she leave her grandmother rashly, and said, "Just get up and open the door." He added, "Grandma is probably awake too, why don't you go and see grandma?" "But I thought to myself, if this aunt's identity is suspicious and I want to do something, I will use a spell to get her away.
Lan Fei subconsciously looked at her hand.
It was also by chance that she found out that she could use spells, and that day she saw that the begonia fruit in the tree was ripe, and wanted to pick a few, but she felt high, and only sighed that there was no rope or long pole to help. As soon as her mind moved, a purple silk suddenly appeared in her hand, and with a random wave, she tied down the branch with the reddest and most begonia fruit. Later, when there was no one, she tried a few more times, but she felt quite easy.
My aunt didn't shirk either, and said, "It's okay, I haven't seen my mother for more than ten years, and I don't know ...... her old man."
Seeing that she was familiar with the road, Lan Fei reduced her suspicions a little, but she didn't dare to take it lightly.
"Mother-Rujuan is back to see you!" Lan Rujuan said loudly.
The grandmother, who had already gotten up and was folding the quilt, was shocked for a moment when she heard this, and then turned around incredibly, looked at Lan Rujuan several times, and suddenly burst into tears and said: "Silk, my silk......"
Lan Fei let out a light breath.
She didn't want to watch this scene of tears, or rather, she didn't like this aunt who suddenly appeared. This babbling temperament made her a little bored.
So, according to her original plan, she took the silver hairpin to the street.
It's just that she didn't expect that the pawnshop disliked her that the silver hairpin was small and styleless, and at most she gave a copper coin, and Lan Fei naturally refused. Grandma said that this silver hairpin was made for her by her father when she was born, and if there were no ingredients, she didn't want to use it. But she didn't know that the pawnshop was so stingy, she snorted and walked out of the pawnshop door.
can't be a silver hairpin, she has other ways.
Walking to the front of the Shengge Workshop, even if it is not long after dawn, the silk and bamboo inside are already pleasant.
Lan Fei stopped at the door, which naturally attracted the attention of the mother. She is not bad looking, coupled with her natural temperament is gentle and charming, although she is a little worse dressed, it is difficult to hide her true colors. The mother of the teaching workshop came out a few steps, and asked with a smile on her face, "The little girl wants to join our Shengge Workshop?" ”
Lan Fei looked at the dance that the girl inside was rehearsing, and said with a faint smile: "I'm just looking...... Based on my experience in dancing for many years, I feel that there is something wrong with this dance. ”
She is not making things up, the old girl from the right side of her house was a dancing girl in the palace before, her appearance is average, but her dancing is enough to move the world. Lan Fei passed by one day and saw that the door of her house was not closed tightly, and she was practicing dancing in the courtyard, and she was stunned. The dancing girl has been in the palace for many years, and she is naturally sensitive to this sudden look, so she immediately stopped moving. Seeing that Lan Fei was a little girl who was less than five years old, he gave her a candy and asked her not to tell what she saw today, after all, Mai Ji just wanted to live in seclusion. But Lan Fei didn't want candy, she wanted to dance along. Maihime let her in, pinched her bones, and demonstrated three random movements. Although Lan Fei's dancing posture is clumsy and immature, they all imitate it decently, and although the dancing girls who should pay attention to it did not point out them one by one, Lan Fei also noticed them. The dancing girl immediately accepted her as an apprentice, but asked her not to spread the news, and not to show the dancing posture lightly, unless she was dead.
Now that the dancing girl has passed away due to illness for two years, Lan Fei feels that it is okay to dance for her grandmother at this moment, so she has such a plan.
The mother of the teaching workshop cherished her talents, and when she heard Lan Fei say this, she was not displeased, but said: "I am willing to listen to the girl's guidance." ”
Lan Fei saluted: "It's better like this, if my guidance is good, you can give me some reward at will, if it's not good, you can laugh it off." ”
Hearing that it was asking for money, a trace of gloom crossed the face of the mother, but she wanted to see why this girl was so angry, and she wanted her to say it if it was okay or not, so she said, "Yes." ”
At the suggestion of the mother, the dancers on the stage retreated, and Lan Fei took the dance sheet and looked at it for a while, she was familiar with it, and nodded to the mother of the teacher.
The silk bamboo sounded, and Lan Fei pointed to the orchid and began to dance.
She dances casually, and her dancing posture does not need to be deliberately modified, but it is more moving to get up at will.
The mother of the teaching workshop was dumbfounded, but after three seconds, she felt that she was too disrespectful, so she came back to her senses and looked around, only to see that the dancers around her all had the same expressions as before, and even the expressions on the faces of the leading dancers, who had always been arrogant to the point of being unstoppable, were shocked.
At the end of the song, Lan Fei danced and lay in the clouds, the water coat brushed her cheeks, and her eyes fell on the mother of the teaching workshop lightly but smartly. She smiled, and the odds were in her hands.
After tidying up the hem of her clothes a little, Lan Fei walked off the stage, came to the mother of the teaching workshop, and saluted: "The little girl is not talented, and she makes you smile." ”
The mother shook her head sneeringly, nodded again, and said, "Girl, is the girl willing to ......?"
"Ahem." The lead dancer on the side was interrupted by a slight cough. She knew what her mother wanted to say, although she also liked Lan Fei's dancing, but she didn't want to add someone to steal the limelight from her.
The mother swallowed the words back, and she was still a little afraid of this lead dancer. If Lan Fei agrees, it's okay, but if she doesn't, then she offends the lead dancer, and she won't want to open this sheng song workshop in the future. He sighed and said, "I don't know how much the girl needs?" ”
Lan Fei was not greedy, and said, "Five taels of silver." ”
As soon as the words fell, I heard the lead dancer eating and laughing, pulled her with one hand, and said: "Ouch, I said stupid sister, you dance so well, the iron of the mother of the teaching workshop is willing to give money, and you are so sincere." After that, she took off a golden hairpin on her head and put it in her hand, "Don't do it, I'm not a reward." Sister, you do dance well, I don't know where you live, Liu Yan will come to you another day to learn. ”
Seeing that she had already said this, it would be rude for her to excuse herself, so she said: "My name is Lan Fei, and I live in ...... It's the Arashi Mansion that burned down a few days ago. If Sister Liu wants to come as a guest, I'm afraid it's unfortunate these days, the mansion has not yet been rebuilt. ”
Liu Yan showed pity on his face and said, "Okay, Lan Fei, I remember." Then I'll come back when the Lan Mansion is rebuilt, and you are not allowed to miss the appointment. ”
Lan Fei smiled.
