Chapter Ninety-Eight
When Jin Shen received the letter, he was already in the northwest, and he couldn't help but feel that he really had to hurry up and go back because of his sister's urgent matter that he had emphasized three times in a row.
Today is the grand ghost fire festival held in the northwest, and I want to go out with Geyan. The four of them bid farewell to the king of the northwest and went to the prairie. Many vendors shouted in the prairie, and people scurrying around the crowd wearing ghost masks. The savannah in the northwest has long been overgrown with green grass, and the breeze brings the fragrance of the shops. The savannah in the northwest was lit up by bonfires, and the sound of singing surrounded Jinshen's ears.
It was the first time for Jin Shen to see such a scene of celebrating the festival, and he felt very novel, Ge Yan and Tu Man had already gone to buy ghost masks. Jin Shen and Yue Qun followed behind them from a distance, Yue Qun looked at the people in strange costumes around him, and said with a smile: "It's really a party of water and soil to raise a person, seeing that there is such a lively festival in the northwest, and then looking at the way these people celebrate the festival, I suddenly know why Princess Geyan is so lively and cute." ”
Jin Shen looked at the fiery figure jumping in front of him, and his eyes were full of smoke. He looked back at Yue Qun beside him and said, "Who said it wasn't." However, having traveled so many places in the past few months, do you feel that the trip is worthwhile? Yue Qun avoided pedestrians and said happily: "Of course, this is much more interesting than what the minister reports every time. ”
During this time, they traveled a lot along the way, and although they couldn't finish the territory of the Carnival Dynasty, it was also an eye-opener for their group. Yue Qun said with anticipation: "When we leave from the northwest, we will go back from the other side, so that we can see many different customs." Remembering the letter he had received from his sister, he told him with some regret, "I'm afraid this won't work." ”
Yue Qun looked at Jin Shen, whose voice suddenly weakened, suspiciously, and said, "Childe, is something wrong?" Jin Shen nodded, Yue Qun thought that something had happened to the court, and he was a little excited, Jin Shen smiled and patted Yue Qun's shoulder and said, "Don't be excited, it's not us, it's my sister." She wrote to me saying she was looking for me urgently. So I'm going to finish my business as soon as possible, and I'll go to my sister with Ge Yan, and you will take Miss Tu back to the Carnival Dynasty. ”
Yue Qun knew that the regent had a different status in the emperor's heart, so he didn't say much, but just agreed to Jinshen's arrangement. The two had been staring at Ge Yan and Tu Man, but just now the two were busy discussing things and wanted to avoid the crowd, and when they looked up again, the figures of the two girls were gone. They were stunned and looked at each other, as if to ask if the other party had noticed them, but the two of them shook their heads in unison, and they panicked all of a sudden, quickly searching the crowd.
Suddenly, both of them were tapped on the shoulder, and both turned back at the same time, and a mask was attached to their faces. Jin Shen and Yue Qun barely saw the two smiling girls in front of them through the eyes of the masks, and they didn't need to guess to know who these two people were.
Ge Yan and Tu Man took off the masks on their faces, and two girls who were so smiling that they couldn't see their eyes appeared in front of Jin Shen and Yue Qun. Yue Qun was willing to play with Tu Man, but it was too worrying to disappear suddenly, after all, it was in the northwest, and everyone was unfamiliar with life. He couldn't help but blame Tu Man for running away while laughing, Tu Man pouted, and said nonchalantly: "Who let you two chat here all the time, see if you two don't have a lost festive atmosphere." ”
Jin Shen and Yue Qun glanced at each other, and then at the people around them, well, I have to admit that they did look out of place here. Ge Yan was too lazy to say, and reached out to put on a ghost mask for Jin Shen, but Ge Yan was not tall enough, so he had to stand on tiptoe, and Ge Yan's soft breathing wrapped around Zai Jinshen's ears. Jin Shen frowned slightly when he was a little uncomfortable, thinking that he might as well bring it himself, so he took the mask from Ge Yan's hand and put it on.
Seeing this, Tu Man handed the mask to Yue Qun, raised his chin, and motioned for Yue Qun to put it on. Yue Qun had no choice but to obediently pick up the strange mask and put it on his face. As soon as the two of them put on their masks, Tu Man and Ge Yan dragged them on a rampage in the noisy crowd, and Ge Yan enthusiastically introduced them to the customs of the northwest and bought all kinds of delicacies to eat. The two big men who don't smile are also very interested in them. When the four of them waited for the end of the Ghost Fire Festival, they couldn't walk.
In order to eliminate food, I would like to suggest that everyone walk back, everyone is meaningless. Originally, the four of them were still walking together, but because the two men were tall and big, although the two of them intended to wait, they couldn't resist the fact that the two girls hadn't gotten out of the festive atmosphere and chatted hotly, so gradually the two men and women distanced themselves.
The fact that he is the emperor of the Jianian Dynasty has not been concealed in the northwest, so there are still many people who will frequently look sideways when he walks on the street, but no one dares to approach. I would like to Shen Qiyu's lofty appearance, and naturally there are young women who admire him. But Geyan has been staying by his side, and they can't blatantly step forward because of the identity of the princess, so there are always some people with broken mouths in private. Sadly, by coincidence, someone had something wrong with their mouth today, and it happened to be heard by Tu Man.
Tu Man didn't know if he had liberated his nature after leaving Kyoto, and he couldn't swallow it in one breath and quarreled with others. Ge Yan actually often heard people break their mouths, but she chose to go in the left ear and out the right ear, but Tu Man didn't, and directly rushed to the girl and asked, "What did you say?" Have the ability to say it again! ”
Ge Yan didn't want Tu Man to be angry with this kind of person, so he pulled Tu Man and asked her not to talk about it. At first, the girl was startled by the appearance of Tu Man, but when she saw Ge Yan cowering at this time, she felt that she must have said nothing wrong just now, and suddenly came to the confidence again, and said very arrogantly: "Just say it!" I said that she was shameless, and the emperor of the Carnival Dynasty didn't like her, and she still stuck it with a dead face. Men and women are unmarried, so what kind of system do I become. ”
Tu Man became angry when he heard this, and he broke away from the cigarette and took his hand, it was necessary to reason with that girl! She crossed her waist and said, "The man is unmarried and the woman is not married, why can't you talk to me." That's not for you to get married, go out and talk to others! Go find a wife and I, it seems that you like to be small! Although the men have three wives and four concubines, it is really ugly to be told by others to be small, and the girl scolded back with a red face: "You are messing around!" "Tears are coming out of my eyes.
Tu Man looks down on this kind of person who provokes trouble by himself at the beginning, can't do it and pretends to be pitiful after others! Why did you go earlier, who are you crying here now! I thought that this Northwest woman would go straight like a cigarette, simple and cute, but who knew that there were exceptions. Tu Man was not frightened by a few tears of the girl, and went back directly: "You are just messing around!" Let me tell you, the emperor of the Jianian Dynasty wants to marry the princess of the northwest, and he will not marry you! Which eye did you see that the emperor didn't like the princess! ”
Ge Yan watched more and more onlookers, and Tu Man's words became more and more outrageous, and persuaded Tu Man in embarrassment. The woman felt that Tu Man was belittling herself, so she broke out, and she couldn't shed tears, so she rushed forward directly and shouted: "She shamelessly wants to put a mask on the emperor, the emperor's brows are furrowed, do you say that the emperor doesn't like her!" Ge Yan was stunned when he heard it, did Brother Jinshen just now not like the mask he gave?
If I am here, I will cry out the conscience of heaven and earth. I just think it's not good for the two of them to get so close in public, and Ge Yan is the princess of the northwest, and I think about her for her, I don't dislike that mask at all!
Shen Shen and Yue Qun went back to look for the two girls and found that the person was missing again, so they had to go back to find it. As a result, I saw a large number of people gathered around. Originally, the two didn't like to join in the fun, but a girl's voice stopped them from leaving, and the owner of the voice was Tu Man.
When they squeezed into the crowd, the scene in front of them actually surprised the two of them. With a slight force, Ge Yan knocked a strange girl to the ground, and the girl sat on the ground and cursed. It took me a long time to hear what the girl was saying, that is, the emperor of the Jianian Dynasty would not marry Princess Geyan or something.
When Yue Qun heard this, he felt that the girl had no brains, and he was really not afraid that the gossip would spread and reach the ears of the king and emperor of the northwest, and then cause disharmony in the relations between the two countries.
The more Tu Man listened, the more he couldn't listen anymore, at first the girl relied on what she said, but she was ready to beat herself, and was knocked to the ground by Ge Yan. Now she's still here chattering nonsense, no, she can't help it. She rolled up her sleeves and got ready to get her hands dirty. When Yue Qun saw his girl's action of rolling up his sleeves, he felt that something was wrong, and immediately stepped forward to stop him.
Jin Shen also walked quickly to Ge Yan's side, grabbed Ge Yan's shoulder, and said angrily to the girl sitting on the ground: "Who said that I wouldn't marry the princess of the northwest!" ”
This sentence made Tu Man, who was rolling up his sleeves, stop his hand, made Yue Qun, who was blocking people, pause his movements and almost fell, made Ge Yan look at Jin Shen's side face and was directly stunned, made the crying girl pause and cry, and made the noisy crowd quiet down all of a sudden.
Jing Shencai didn't care about this, so he pulled the cigarette and left this place of right and wrong. Ge Yan was still immersed in Jin Shen's words and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time, and Jin Shen couldn't understand the fact that Ge Yan ran to fight, and on the way back, he frowned and asked, "How do you fight with others?" ”
It's a pity that the people around him weren't ready to answer this matter at all, so they just asked in a daze: "Brother Jinshen, is what you just said true?" Jin Shen naturally knew what Ge Yan was talking about, so he pretended to be calm and said, "Of course! Ah! Go back soon! After speaking, he pulled Ge Yan and walked back, and Ge Yan looked at Jin Shen's red ears and snickered. Jin Shen really wanted to marry Ge Yan, but he admitted it and felt embarrassed.
Yue Qun also secretly dragged Tu Man and ran away, he was not familiar with the place, Tu Man caused this mess, what if someone came to beat him! Tu Man was pulled by Yue Qun's hand and felt painful, and after running for a while, she broke free of Yue Qun's hand, unwilling to continue running, she muttered to Yue Qun: "What are you running!" ”
Yue Qun only felt that his head was big, and he walked back to grab her hand again, but Tu Man refused, and Yue Qun said bitterly: "This is not the Jianian Dynasty, what should I do if I am chased and beaten by the Northwest people, run quickly!" Tu Man suddenly said aggrievedly: "Are you disgusted with me for making trouble?" But it was the woman's mouth that spoke wildly and hurt Ge Yan! ”
Yue Qun was not so angry, but as soon as Tu Man mentioned it, he became even more angry, and said in a rough voice: "The affairs of the princess and the emperor are not something you and I can manage, why do you want to mess with others, or in the northwest!" ”
The two of you come and go, but no one is willing to back down, the more Tu Man argues, the more aggrieved he feels, and his eyes are red and he shouts to Yue Qun: "What do you know!" Geyan is my friend, I can't listen to others frame her, do you know how important reputation is to girls! Also, I'm in trouble, what's wrong? As a general, you can't even beat a few people! You just hate me for being a nuisance! I don't need you to care! After shouting these words, Tu Man turned around and walked in the other direction.
Yue Qun was shouted by Tu Man, and suddenly came back to his senses, and he realized that he had actually quarreled with Tu Man. By the time he realized that he had said the wrong thing, Tu Man had already disappeared around the corner, and Yue Qun had no choice but to catch up quickly.
The more Tu Man thought about it, the more aggrieved he became, and his tears kept falling disobediently. Yue Qun's worries are not unreasonable, the people in the northwest are fierce, and that woman is angry, and she will definitely not give up. Tu Man bumped into the girl with a helper, the girl wanted to avenge her humiliation, the princess she couldn't move, but it didn't mean that Tu Man didn't dare to move.
Tu Man wiped away her tears, looked at the group of people standing in front of her, and was not afraid that it was fake, but she would not let herself show her timidity, although it was her daughter's family, she still learned some kung fu. But after a few strokes, Tu Man was not the opponent of these people at all, and was quickly subdued by them.
When Yue Qun arrived, he saw that the girl before was humiliating Tu Man, who had been held in the palm of his hand, Tu Man's stubborn eyes deeply pierced Yue Qun's heart, and Yue Qun quickly stepped forward to rescue Tu Man. But Tu Man didn't want to see Yue Qun at all at this time, and her proud self-esteem was trampled on by others, she didn't want to see anyone now, and when Yue Qun was fighting with others, she ran back.
When Yue Qun finished solving everyone, he found that he couldn't see the girl anymore. He searched outside for a long time, and only returned to their residence in the middle of the night, and the waiter told him that Miss Tu had returned to the room, and his hanging heart was lost. He slowly paced to Tu Man's door and sat down on the side of the corridor, he didn't dare to go in to disturb Tu Man, and he didn't know what to say to Tu Man. This was the first time they had quarreled, and Yue Qun felt that it was better for him to sit outside the door obediently, so as not to say the wrong thing and make matters worse.
This night, Tu Man and Yue Qun had no sleep all night because of a quarrel between the two; Jin Shen and Geyan couldn't sleep all night because of that sentence.
In the early morning, it should have been a quiet and leisurely beginning, but now this yard is full of chickens and dogs. Last night's incident reached the ears of the king of the northwest and the prince, and the king of the northwest felt that his daughter could decide her marriage privately, so he shouted in the courtyard of Geyan and asked Geyan to come out and make it clear. Ge Yan was scared and hid in his room and refused to go out, although he was deeply loved by his brother and father since he was a child, but it does not mean that on this matter of principle, they allowed Ge Yan to mess around.
Jin Shen was next door, he had already been woken up by the shouting of the king of the northwest early in the morning, he didn't plan to be a turtle with a shrunken head, and let Geyan face these things alone, so he dressed everything and walked into Geyan's yard. The king of the northwest saw that Jin Shen was coming, and at this time, he didn't care whether you were the emperor or not, and said angrily: "What's the matter with you, how can you say that you want to marry my daughter in public, and it is heard by others, how can my daughter marry!" ”
As soon as Ge Yan heard the tone of his father's words, he knew that it was Jin Shen coming, so he rushed out of the door in a hurry, ran to Jin Shen, opened his arms to block Jin Shen, and called out to his father: "The situation was urgent last night, and Brother Jin Shen made this decision!" ”
The king of the northwest looked at Ge Yan standing in front of him, and his heart was not angry. He couldn't call it at first, but now, when she comes, she protects people like a chick. The king of the northwest was even more angry, pointing to Ge Yan's head and saying, "You can't talk like this if you make any decisions!" Ge Yan saw that his trick couldn't work, his eyes rolled, and he suddenly squatted on the ground and cried.
His voice choked and said: "You don't know, others say how ugly what I said, Sister Tu Man defended me a few words, that person was going to beat us, if it wasn't for Brother Jinshen's appearance, now I don't know what people say about me outside!" It would be stupid for the king of the northwest to still eat cigarettes, he snorted and blamed: "Bullying you? Hit you? There are a few people in this savannah who can beat you! I don't know what other people say about you, anyway, it's not easy to hear now! ”
Ge Yan is not in the slightest rut now, and his father is now looking soft and hard. Jin Shen pinched his brows, feeling a headache, he had already planned to speak, and he was troubled by this girl, and he almost forgot what he was going to say.
He picked up the cigarette that was squatting on the ground, and then said to the king of the northwest solemnly: "Lord, I sincerely ask you for the cigarette. When the king of the northwest heard that the emperor said that he wanted to marry Geyan, he was not very happy, but he was very worried, as soon as he entered the palace gate, it was as deep as the sea, and the emperor had three palaces and six courtyards, he directly said with disgust: "My daughter can't stand it." Don't marry, resolutely don't marry! ”
But what he didn't expect was that Ge Yan wanted to marry, and the girl who was still pretending to be crying immediately frowned and said, "Why don't you marry, I'm going to marry Brother Jinshen!" "Ge Yan doesn't care now, if you don't talk about it today, will you wait until Brother Jinshen is gone? The king of the northwest almost fainted in anger, and said with a look of hatred: "You have no feelings, what are you marrying!" ”
Ge Yan was anxious when she heard this, where did she have no feelings for Jin Shen, she said loudly: "When Brother Jin Shen came to you for more than a year, I fell in love with Brother Jin Shen, otherwise you think I will help you fight some kind of war!" If you don't believe me, ask my brother! Geyan has always adhered to the good habit of the brother and sister sharing blessings and hardships, and at this moment he insisted on pulling his brother into the water.
The prince looked at his sister who had betrayed him, and then looked at the way his father glared at him angrily. He now regrets helping his sister beg his father to let her go to the battlefield, and he said that why did the little ancestor have to go to the battlefield at that time, it turned out to be for the sake of Shen Shen!
I didn't know that Ge Yan actually meant this to him, but he was a little shy after being confessed by the girl in public. He pulled back the cigarette, stroked the girl's hair, which had been tossed with excitement, and whispered, "There are some things that I should say." Ge Yan looked like she was about to speak, but she obediently closed her mouth when she saw Jinshen's smile.
The king of the northwest was heartbroken at this time, how could he have been gouged by a wild boar when he had a delicate flower! Although it is a golden pig, it still does not prevent the king of the northwest from being uncomfortable.
