Chapter 9: Marriage should start from the doll
Since Xiao Chifeng went home, the City Lord's Mansion has become a lot more lively, and even the maidservants have brought up their jewelry and painted fat powder to dress up, just to be looked at by the young master.
The subordinates also often discuss that this little young master is so good, because he follows the city lord Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan, when he was young, was a well-known young talent in Wucheng and powerful. He only has one wife, Helan, in this era of three wives and four concubines, he can be regarded as a clear stream, and he is a rare good man.
The husband and wife are in love, and He Lan has added four children to him.
The eldest son, Xiao Cheng. Thirteen years ago, the demon clan invaded, and he led a group of warriors to kill all sides and became famous overnight. The emperor personally named him the general of Wuning, and later gave him a marriage and married Nalan Wanying, the lord of Yunhe County in Kyoto.
The second daughter, Xiao Lianyi, is the first talented woman in Wucheng. She is the best spirit among the female students of Yang Ling Academy, and few people in the academy can match her with a water spirit. Three years ago, he married in the northern Los Angeles, and his husband's family was a wealthy businessman in Los Angeles - the He family.
The third daughter, Xiao Xinrui, is unmarried.
Finally, there is the little young master Xiao Chifeng who is talked about by the next generation. He is a handsome man of the first rank in Wucheng, born noble, and his own cultivation is also very good, and he can control the three five elements. Her achievements in Yangling Academy are even better than her sister Xiao Lianyi in previous years.
He is not married yet, and he is the first choice of many famous girls.
The magpie jumps on the plum branch, fluttering and flying, with a little petal.
After lunch, He Lan took his young son Xiao Chifeng and Lin Zhi's grandson to enjoy the plum blossoms in the Meilin Pavilion in the mansion. She was wrapped in sable shoulders, her face was ruddy, and she looked graceful and luxurious. raised his hand and personally twisted a piece of milk cake for Qi Yue, "Little girl, will it be the year of Ji in two years?" β
put the milk cake in his mouth, and suddenly the milky fragrance overflowed, and Qi Yue said vaguely: "Yes, Aunt Lan." β
"Is there a match?" He Lan's eyes lit up, and the words were said to Qi Yue, but his eyes looked at Lin Zhi who looked helpless beside him.
And Xiao Chifeng drank half of the tea, and almost didn't squirt out. He's a mother, I'm afraid I'm trying to pull this little girl to kiss again.
"Marriage? Aunt Lan, I'm still a little doll. Qi Yue was speechless in her heart, what kind of crooked thoughts did this Aunt Lan have.
"Yes, Ah Lan, Xiao Yue is still young, but she has never thought about these things." Lin Zhi said earnestly.
"Haha, I'll just ask casually." He Lan sneered, and hurriedly sandwiched another piece of milk cake and put it on Qi Yue's plate, "Then what do you think of Feng'er, do you have a good impression?" β
"Mother, what nonsense are you talking about? She is still young, how can she understand these emotional things, don't be embarrassed. Without waiting for Qi Yue to speak, Xiao Chifeng couldn't help but complain. He poured his mother a cup of hot tea and continued: "It's not time for me to talk about my children's personal affairs and talk about marriage. Now that the situation is in the situation, it is time to do great things and serve the people! β
He Lan was so angry that he put the teacup down, "You, you, it's not for your own good." After that, the brocade in his hand wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and his tone softened, "You will leave for the south tomorrow, and you are in danger, how can you let me go." I don't want to give you a good omen. β
"But mother, the girl of the Qi family is still young, how can you let me face her little doll?" Xiao Chifeng's face was serious, and his eyes were stubborn.
"Ah Lan, a good girl with dignified appearance and moral character in Jingzhong grabs a handful, Xiaoyue is young and ignorant, and it is not suitable." Lin Zhi glanced at her granddaughter who was only concerned about eating, and looked at her as an outsider who didn't care about herself, which was really angry and funny.
"Yes, yes, Aunt Lan, I'm young and stupid, where do I know what love and love is, I can't even take care of what I eat." Qi Yue hurriedly responded, her hand did not stop, and the full plate of milk cakes was almost eaten by her.
"I think you're smart. That's it, that's it, let's talk about it when you become an adult, Aunt Lan really likes you more and more. He Lan didn't give up, and even thought about the opportunity for the two families to marry in the future.
"Mother, I make my own decisions about emotional matters." Xiao Chifeng said stubbornly.
"You!" He Lan trembled angrily, like a fish in his throat.
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Qi Yue was embarrassed to continue eating, wiped her mouth, and comforted: "Aunt Lan, don't be angry, marriage has to pay attention to fate, and the matter between me and Brother Feng naturally depends on fate." β
"Yes, Ah Lan, just follow them. Fate will have results. Lin Zhi agreed, looking at his granddaughter with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
At this young age, I still know fate.
"Forget it, it's up to you." He Lan held her forehead, this stubborn son, her brain hurt when she was angry.
Qi Yue thought about it, although this time it was to avoid suspicion and escape, but she didn't forget the matter of unlocking the seal. took the opportunity to ask: "Aunt Lan, have you heard of Hongmengdian." β
He Lan nodded, "I've heard that this is an ancient classic, it is said that it existed thousands of years ago, but now I have never heard of it. Puzzled in his eyes, "What do you ask about?" β
Lifted the broken hair between his forehead, revealing a faint leaf-like birthmark, "You see, in fact, this is not a birthmark, you can use spiritual power to test my borderline, there are seal lines in it." β
Xiao Chifeng on the side was very surprised when he heard this, "Seal?!" β
"Yes, grandpa said that I am borderline like the Han Sea, but there is a seal that absorbs all my spiritual power, which is very strange. He couldn't find a way to crack it through ancient books, so I inquired about the Hongmeng Classics in the hope that there would be a record in them. β
Seeing Lin Zhi echoing and nodding, He Lan looked at his son on the side, "Your Yangling Academy has a long heritage and a profound cultural heritage, so you can mention it." β
Xiao Chifeng was silent, raised his hand to himself, and condensed a stream of aura to slowly cross into Qi Yue's eyebrows, and the aura was absorbed in the breath.
He looked horrified.
He clearly sensed that there was a dark light flickering inside, and a lot of characters appeared.
Xiao Chifeng calmed down and affirmed: "It is indeed a seal, I will go to the south this time, and I will go back to the academy to ask the head teacher, and see if Qin Lao knows a thing or two." β
"It's fine. Hey... Feng'er..."Looking at his son, He Lan hesitated, paused, and continued: "The Spirit Heavenly Pavilion knows everything. β
"Spirit Heaven Pavilion! No, the Spirit Machine Heavenly Pavilion stipulates that if you ask for something, you will lose something, and you will have to pay a price. Xiao Chifeng decisively refused.
The Heavenly Pavilion of Spiritual Machines claims to know everything in the world, but what is sought, the seeker must pay the same price.
Does the Spirit Machine Heavenly Pavilion know everything, Qi Yue's eyes flashed, "Aunt Lan, where is the Spirit Machine Heavenly Pavilion?" β
If there is a way to break the seal, she is willing to pay the price.
What Qi Yue didn't know was that the price she paid for trading with the Spirit Machine Heavenly Pavilion was not as simple as she thought......
"Thisβ" He Lan looked at his son with a sad expression.
Xiao Chifeng shook his head secretly, and said cryptically: "Sister Qi Yue, it's better for you not to inquire about the Spirit Heaven Pavilion, the price paid for the transaction is unimaginable." β
Lin Zhi nodded, took his granddaughter's hand, and said earnestly: "Xiaoyue, what your brother Feng said is right. Your grandfather and I have known about the Spiritual Pavilion for a long time, but we have never mentioned it to you. Because its existence is as mysterious as the ancient family thousands of years ago, and to make a deal with them, unless it is forced to a corner, otherwise..."
"How else?" Qi Yue said anxiously.
"Hehe~", touching her granddaughter's head, Lin Zhi's face was full of love, but in the depths of her pupils, she was intricately intertwined with rare guilt, reluctance, and pity, "In short, grandma hopes that you will not participate in the Spirit Machine Heavenly Pavilion for the rest of your life." β
Lonely nodded, and Qi Yue said yes.
He Lan opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but she saw her son shaking his head at her, but he couldn't say anything until he reached his mouth.
Several people were silent.
In the distance, a servant girl hurried over, looking panicked.
She curtsied, "Madam, the people from the royal family came to ask about the whereabouts of Mrs. Qi and the others, and the lord asked you to take them to avoid them for the time being." β
"What!?" He Lan stood up in shock and looked at Lin Zhi and the others, "Why are the people of the royal family looking for you too!" I asked Feng'er to take you out of the backyard, and the people of the royal family are afraid that the people who come will not be good. β
Xiao Chifeng nodded, "Aunt Lin, follow me." β
Lin Zhi smiled bitterly, and now it involves the royal family, what the hell is going on.
Hurriedly pulled Qi Yue up, followed Xiao Chifeng in front of him through the plum forest and walked towards the backyard.
"Grandma, but what about the fox, what about it!" Qi Yue said anxiously. Wouldn't she be leaving the house from the backyard, she couldn't leave it here. Having made up her mind, Qi Yue stopped, "No, I'm going to take it with me." β
"Nonsense! It has a lot of skills, and it can naturally find us. Lin Zhi was annoyed, stomped on Qi Yue, and pulled her forward.
The two of them pulled behind them, but Xiao Chifeng in front of him suddenly stopped in place.
The two looked around, and it turned out that there was already a pair of people waiting at the backyard gate.
They were all riding on horses, wearing yellow armor and holding big swords, with cold expressions, looking at Qi Yue and the three of them condescendingly.
One of the middle-aged men in a red official uniform stood in the middle and clenched his fists slightly to several people, "Mrs. Qi, don't come unharmed." β
