Chapter 367: Sloppy Old Dao
Shicai also looked at Meng Liangjun's smiling Xiangping, and after learning the identity of the other party, he immediately blurted out in surprise:
"You are Meng Shilang's sister, although I live in the palace, I have heard those palace maids mention your affairs. I didn't want you and Jinxuan to be friends, which really surprised me. ”
As soon as he heard Xiangping mention Meng Mian, Meng Liangjun's face immediately became a little pale, and then his tone trembled slightly and reluctantly said:
"Yes, I am Meng Mian's sister, but everything is wrong with me, and it has nothing to do with my brother. Therefore, no matter what rumors you hear, Princess, do not misunderstand my brother because of this, it is all my fault. ”
Seeing Meng Liangjun's hurried explanation, Xiang Ping immediately realized that if he was suitable, he was afraid that something was wrong.
Therefore, Xiangping first glanced at Xiao Jinxuan apologetically, and then hurriedly stepped forward, took the initiative to hold Meng Liangjun's hand, and then said with regret:
"I'm sorry, what I just said wasn't intentional, in fact, I didn't mean to look down on you. As long as you really like it, what about your brother, why care about other people's eyes and opinions, as long as you feel that you are doing the right thing, then you should love without hesitation. ”
Xiao Jinxuan, who was standing on the side, heard the first half of Xiangping's words, but she didn't react.
But when she heard that the other party actually agreed that her brother and sister were in love, this kind of deviance was simply unusual, so she frowned slightly and hurriedly said:
"Xiangping, don't talk nonsense, Liangjun has been more taboo about others mentioning Meng Mian recently. Since I was planning to go out to play and visit the temple fair, these unpleasant things were put aside for the time being. Let's get on the bus quickly, there is still a long way to go to Rabbit Ridge, and we won't be able to catch up with the excitement if we go late. ”
As soon as they heard this, Xiangping and Meng Liangjun had always listened to Xiao Jinxuan's words very much, so they didn't continue to delay, and after a few people got into the carriage, they rushed straight to the outside of the city gate.
And along the way, it seemed that Meng Liangjun was a little depressed, so Xiangping told jokes in different ways to make the other party happy.
Seeing Xiangping's delicate and smiling behavior, Xiao Jinxuan's eyes flashed with surprise, and then asked with an inquiring voice:
"Although I haven't been in the palace much recently, Xiangping, but seeing that your sluggish state is gone, not only is your complexion better, but you are also more lively and agile than before. Could it be that you have already let go of that thing? ”
Hearing this, Xiangping's smiling eyes showed a trace of sadness, but she was taken away in an instant.
Then Xiangping shrugged, and then looked at Xiao Jinxuan, and said in a brisk tone:
"I can't let go, and my fate is not in my own hands. Anyway, I want to open it, instead of frowning every day, I might as well live a chic and happy life. Only if I laugh every day, my mother will not worry about me, and my father will love me even more. And only if I am strong, I will become full-fledged day by day, and one day I will be able to reunite with Brother Mo when I have the opportunity. So Jinxuan, don't worry about me, I'm fine now, and I'm not the ridiculously stupid Xiangping anymore. ”
If it is said that Xiangping's smile before is not as bright and moving as it is now, the smile he shows every time is from the heart.
But Xiao Jinxuan knows that today's Xiangping, although it looks more cheerful than before. And I smiled even more beautifully.
But this is just a disguise for Xiangping, the other party just wore a smiling mask, no matter how moving it looked, in fact, the heart was tightly sealed.
Xiao Jinxuan wanted to persuade and comfort Xiangping for a few words, but she was deliberately avoided by the other party, seeing this, she naturally didn't know what to say.
And just when the three girls avoided the topics they least wanted to talk about each other, and tried to only talk about anecdotes and jokes, they talked about the trouble, and the City God Temple in Rabbit Ridge also arrived.
After a few people got off the carriage, what caught their eyes was the crowd of people in front of the City God Temple, and the lively scene of everyone wearing high incense.
In addition, there are also fruit cakes on both sides, fortune tellers and word measurements, bustling, and it is indeed extremely lively.
Seeing that the City God Temple built by herself was so fragrant, Xiao Jinxuan saw it in her eyes, and her heart was naturally very happy.
And just when Bai Chu and a few guards, plainclothes were opening the way in front, Xiao Jinxuan's three daughters walked leisurely towards the temple gate, and looked around to see the excitement.
Suddenly, an old Taoist priest with sloppy hair and a woolen beard suddenly rushed out from behind the temple gate, bypassing Bai Chu and the others, and crashed into Xiao Jinxuan's body at once.
This old man seems to be thin and thin, and he is not tall, but he has no strength at all.
Immediately, Xiao Jinxuan only felt a twist of her right foot, she snorted in pain, and then fell backwards unsteadily.
Ling Xiao, who was standing on the side, saw this, and quickly stretched out his hand to help Xiao Jinxuan, and Agar took a step forward, pinched his waist with both hands and shouted angrily:
"How can you walk this old way without looking at the dots, my young lady was almost knocked to the ground by you, if the master has any mistakes, believe it or not, I will ask you to pay for your life."
In the hearts of all the hidden guards, Xiao Jinxuan is their heaven, so in front of the other party, the hidden guards have always been respectful.
But in the face of people who dared to hurt Xiao Jinxuan in the slightest, Agar, who was a hidden guard, had a cold side that was completely revealed.
And look at the old road that suddenly rushed out on the opposite side, and after the collision of Shicai, he also fell to the ground on his back.
This old man cried out in pain with "oops, oops" while slowly getting up from the ground.
The agar in his hand that was also stained with blood, the look in his eyes was actually extremely impressive, but the old man seemed to be dizzy and couldn't see at all.
And instead pointed at Xiao Jinxuan with a straight face, and then panted and said:
"Where did the female doll come from, do you know that I am a half-immortal in this city god temple, well-known far and near, and the most accurate fortune-telling and criticism. If you dare to hit me, tell me how much money you are going to pay me for. ”
As soon as he heard this, he immediately smiled at the old man in front of him, the shrewd appearance on his face, and Xin, who was in charge of all kinds of chores outside all the year round.
After all, it's not the first time he's seen it when he touches porcelain, and there is a kind of person who likes wealth and nobility in the Beijing Division, and then deliberately pretends to be knocked down by the other party, or injured by the illusion, in order to blackmail the person who cheats the silver two.
In normal times, Xin would definitely not pay attention to this kind of thing.
But it's rare for Xiao Jinxuan to come out to play today, spend some money to pass this old way, don't affect everyone's mood, this is the most important thing.
So reaching out and taking out five taels of silver from his body, Xin stepped forward and stuffed the silver ingot into Lao Dao's arms, then lowered his voice and said with a slight warning:
"I also got the money, and I left as soon as I got acquainted. Otherwise, if you are entangled, not to mention that I will not give you the money, but will directly send you to the prison cell of the yamen, and give you this slanderous old way, and teach you a good lesson. ”
As soon as he heard Xin's unkind words, he was looking down at the old man who was looking down at the silver in his hand, and a faint smile flashed in the depths of his eyes.
But in an instant, after he raised his head, his expression became extremely pisque again.
He even threw the five taels of silver in his hand directly on the ground, and then said with a pout:
"I'm a half-immortal, but I'm also a well-known person here, and you want to send me away for five taels of silver, you white-haired boy, you can really handle it." Five taels is definitely not enough, but if it is fifty taels, Lao Dao is barely acceptable. ”
Xin Zizi fought in Yangzhou, once fell into an ice cave on the river, and after he didn't die and picked up a life, these temples grew two strands of white hair, and even his eyebrows were snow-white.
When she first came to Beijing, Xiao Jinxuan didn't have her current status, and she was even more flawless and protected Xin.
Therefore, in order not to attract the attention of others, Xin dyed his white hair and snow eyebrows black at the beginning, in order to hide his too peculiar appearance.
But with the consolidation of Xiao Jinxuan's position, Xin, who followed her, naturally didn't have to hide it anymore, so now he has recovered to this slightly peculiar appearance.
Therefore, seeing this old way, he was unabashed, and directly called him a white-haired boy.
Now it is also counted inside and outside the Shuaifu, and Xin, who is mixed with the wind and water, immediately became a little unhappy.
Just when he wanted to directly push away this nonsense old way and escort Xiao Jinxuan in.
After looking at Lao Dao's eyes together, Xin felt a beat in his heart for no reason, and there was an extremely strange feeling that spread in his heart.
And he even suddenly had the illusion that he was already acquainted with this old way.
Just when Xin was stunned, Lao Dao had already walked in front of Xiao Jinxuan with a smile.
Then as soon as he stroked his woollen beard, he stretched out his hand and asked for the silver, saying:
"Female doll, bumped into an old man like me, it doesn't mean much if you ask for fifty taels. Look at the silk and satin you wear, but you don't want to be a little family. In this case, then I don't want your silver in vain, fifty taels of silver for my three pairs of hexagrams, you must know that the entire City God Temple, it belongs to my signature, this time you will not feel at a loss. ”
Today is the Duanyang Festival, and here is the City God Temple. Anyway, when you catch the temple fair, you will inevitably draw lots and tell fortunes in order to have a good time.
So being able to pass this old way in a friendly way, Xiao Jinxuan also felt that it would save a trouble.
Therefore, after signaling Xin to give the old Taoist fifty taels of silver, Xiao Jinxuan immediately said to the people around her:
"This Taoist master promised to give three chances to shake the hexagram, and any of you who wants to test the hexagram will come forward. :”
But who knew that after hearing Xiao Jinxuan's words, he had already taken out the sloppy old man from the bamboo lou that he was carrying behind him, but he waved his hand and said:
"How can I test this hexagram for ordinary people. The person who can make me a half-immortal pinch his fingers is qualified to have the three of you in the scene. ”
This old Taoist remark can really be said to be extremely proud, and everyone saw that the other party raised their hands.
Immediately afterwards, he pointed to Xiao Jinxuan, Meng Liangjun, and Xiangping, and the meaning of Lao Dao's action was also extremely obvious.
This is the representative, the person who the other party said is worthy of his count, it is Xiao Jinxuan's three daughters who came to visit the City God Temple together.
