Chapter 11: Meet the Beautiful Woman Again
Chapter 11: Meet the Beautiful Woman Again
The Lake Pavilion in the Bei'an Palace. Zhao Susu and the maidservant are watching the water lily flowers that just bloomed last night. The lotus leaves are squeezed one after another to form a piece of turquoise lotus pu, and a few lotus branches are dotted among them, which are delicate and gorgeous. Zhao Susu's figure is fresh and refined against the backdrop of that pool of water lilies. Shy of a few buds, I don't dare to compete with it, as the so-called "jade bone ice muscle looks like whom, light makeup and light smile are always appropriate".
At this moment, Luo Xiaotian and a few people entered the courtyard of the palace, and the servants were leading them to the lake to "listen to Lan Xuan".
Zhao Susu happened to see Luo Xiaotian, looked forward to it, and suddenly her cheeks flushed, and she hurriedly asked the maid beside her, "Do you know?" Who is this person? β
"Miss, which one do you ask?" The maid looked at Zhao Susu, who was looking forward to wearing her cheeks crimson, and smiled and quipped.
"Bad girl, are you going to tease me?"
"Miss, these people are the guests of the prince. The handsome young man in front of him is Luo Shaoxia, who bravely fights the Kraken. β
"You made it clear! In this deep courtyard, I heard bits and pieces. What is his surname Luo? Why don't you say that? β
"Miss, don't worry, just listen to what I tell you."
This maid also told Zhao Susu some news from hearsay. What Luo Xiaotian has cultivated the immortal path in the Apocalypse Palace, and he will fly to the sky and resist the water. Even the dragon king was scared when he saw it, let alone the little kraken. Zhao Susu secretly laughed after listening to it, feeling unbelievable, and ignored the story of the servant. I thought to myself, I've seen him, obviously he is a mortal body, how can he be so unattainable.
Luo Xiaotian and a few people came to "Tinglan Xuan" along the lake, and the king of Bei'an had been waiting here for a long time, and the wine and food on the table had already been prepared.
"Lord Wang!" Luo Xiaotian and the others saw the king of Bei'an and greeted each other.
"It seems that I guessed correctly, the food and drinks have just been prepared. Let's all sit down, no need to be polite, this place was originally used by my leisure time to entertain friends, everyone is just casual and casual, no need to be cautious. β
"Then you should follow the prince's wishes, relax and have a drink with the prince." Luo Xiaotian didn't want to be restrained everywhere, so he also echoed the king of Bei'an. Then he introduced his brother and sister. "Lord Wang, these two are my fellow brothers and sisters. This is the senior brother Yao Qingshu, and this is the junior sister Zhang Ruyue. β
"Haha! Sure enough, they are all young talents. Presumably Miss Zhang is Zhang Qingyuan Tianzun's daughter, right? And this Yao Shaoxia has already known him on the day of the demon extermination. β
"Lord Wang, the little woman is indeed the daughter of the Heavenly Venerable Dao Elder, thank you Lord for your hospitality today."
"Lord Wang, Yao Qingshu thank you Lord for your hospitality."
"Okay, this king is in a good mood when he sees a few people today, there is no need to be more polite, young people should be casual." King Bei'an waved his hand to let everyone sit down, raised the wine glass in his hand and said: "Come, I will first toast all the heroes, and it can be regarded as a celebration of your return to the peace of my Lingyang City in addition to the Kraken." β
"The prince is in love, and the word hero really doesn't dare to be it." Luo Xiaotian said. Raise your glass and drink it all.
After a while, several people were unrestrained, pushing cups and changing lamps, laughing and laughing.
Luo Xiaotian didn't drink much in the first place, and after one or two glasses, he was slightly drunk. Inadvertently, in the Huxin Pavilion in the distance, in the haze, a familiar figure came into his eyes.
Handkerchief girl! Luo Xiaotian shouted in his heart. The scene in front of him made him suddenly feel surprised, and he was completely drunk. Seeing that the others were chatting heartily, Luo Xiaotian put down the wine glass in his hand and signaled to leave for a while.
Turning his head and out of "Tinglan Xuan", he walked towards the Huxin Pavilion alone.
At this time, Zhao Susu was a little flustered when he saw Luo Xiaotian suddenly walking towards him. In order to avoid being embarrassed in front of everyone, Lianbu trotted away from the Huxin Pavilion and hid in a place where no one was.
Seeing this, Luo Xiaotian anxiously chased after him.
This dodge and chase are like the two butterflies playing on the water lilies in the lake.
"Girl, don't go. Do you remember? Luo Xiaotian caught up with Zhao Susu and asked.
I don't know if the girl remembers herself, so she took out the champa from her bosom as she spoke.
"It turned out to be you, you are the demon slayer boy?" Zhao Susu blushed and said with a light smile, standing slim in front of Luo Xiaotian.
"It's just a small skill for carving insects. Is the girl from this house? β
"Hmm!" Zhao Susu muttered and nodded in reply. "Are you free? Can you tell me how you brought down the Siren? β
There was no one around, and her expression gradually became more natural when she spoke, and her curiosity came.
"Of course I'm free, I'll give you a detailed explanation, and I guarantee that nothing is missed."
Hearing the handkerchief girl's request, Luo Xiaotian thought to herself, it would be good if there were movies in this era, and accompanying her to watch a "Journey to the West" would just meet her wishes.
"However, I'm drinking with King Bei'an, it's not good to leave, how can it be good!"
"It's okay, you wait here for me for a moment."
Zhao Susu ran to a maid in the distance and whispered a few words to her.
"It's okay." Zhao Susu came back and said with a smile.
"Then you come with me!"
Luo Xiaotian pulled Zhao Susu all the way out of the palace and came to the street of Lingyang City. He searched around for a while, and took Zhao Susu to a small stage specializing in shadow puppet performances. The stage was full of people, and a shadow puppet show was being performed on the stage. Luo Xiaotian pulled Zhao Susu to find a front position and arranged for her to sit down.
"You wait, "The Legend of the South China Sea Demon Conquering" is about to start."
Zhao Susu's eyes were full of anticipation and smiled.
Luo Xiaotian ran to the backstage and discussed with the master at the head of the stage for a while, wanting to ask them to help make a few shadow puppets. The stage boss recognized Luo Xiaotian who had removed the kraken, and immediately agreed to Luo Xiaotian's request, and instructed the masters to make shadow puppets according to Luo Xiaotian's request.
It took a while. The show that was being performed on stage suddenly stopped, and just as the audience was still confused, another tune sounded. Luo Xiaotian cooperated with another master in the back, and a new play appeared.
This is what Luo Xiaotian said about "The Legend of the South China Sea Demon Surrender". The plot begins with the Kraken causing disaster to the world, and then the protagonists appear on the stage and begin a journey of ups and downs and dangers to catch monsters. At the end of the story, the protagonist boy defeats the Kraken, finds his beloved handkerchief girl, and comes together happily.
At the end of the play, the audience under the stands burst into warm applause. Some people even wanted to watch it again, and the reward money was thrown into the stands.
Zhao Susu is even more obsessed with it, it turns out that the shadow puppet show is so good-looking, and it turns out that "The Legend of the South China Sea Demon Suppression" is so exciting.
"Is the movie good?" Luo Xiaotian returned to Zhao Susu and sat down and asked, immediately thinking that Zhao Susu certainly didn't know what a movie was, so he changed his words: "Oh, no, is this shadow puppet show good?" β
"Well, it's just pretty to see. The Kraken is like a Kunpeng giant beast, so terrifying, that young man is really witty and brave, too thrilling. β
Hearing Zhao Susu's praise, Luo Xiaotian became a little proud.
"Next time I'll show you a solo show, haha!"
"However, at the end of this end, who is the boy's beloved handkerchief girl?" Zhao Susu asked with a crimson face.
Luo Xiaotian took out the handkerchief in his arms, looked into Zhao Susu's eyes and said, "Do you see this handkerchief?" Far away, close at hand! β
"You're afraid you don't even know the girl's name, do you? It's called a handkerchief girl. Zhao Susu looked panicked, avoided Luo Xiaotian's eyes, and muttered softly.
"Can you tell me, then, what's her name?"
"My name is Zhao Susu...... Zhao Susu was still immersed in the story just now, and when he saw the handkerchief in Luo Xiaotian's hand, he also blurted out subconsciously, and immediately defended himself when he realized that he had made a mistake: "No! The girl in the play, even you don't know who her name is, how do I know. β
Luo Xiaotian was secretly happy in his heart, it turned out that the handkerchief girl was called Zhao Susu.
"Oops! Go back quickly. β
The two have been out for a long time, and if they don't go back, Zhao Susu can't explain what she has explained to the maid, in case her father asks and knows that she ran away with Luo Xiaotian, I'm afraid I'm going to be angry. However, at this time, Luo Xiaotian had long forgotten about the palace banquet, and he only remembered it after Zhao Susu's reminder.
Zhao Susu pulled Luo Xiaotian up, and the two rushed to the palace.
When they arrived at the palace, the two were met by the maid who was anxiously looking for Zhao Susu, Zhao Susu was shy, like a frightened hare, and immediately separated from Luo Xiaotian at a distance. had to say goodbye to Luo Xiaotian secretly and return to his room.
After separation. Luo Xiaotian came to "Tinglan Xuan" alone.
When he arrived. Seeing that King Bei'an and his senior brothers and sisters were still chatting freely, they quietly sat down while a few people were not paying attention.
"Senior Brother Xiaotian, where have you been? How did you leave for so long. Little junior sister Zhang Ruyue saw Luo Xiaotian coming back and hurriedly asked.
"The prince's mansion is really too big. Just now I felt a little drunk and wanted to go to the lake for a walk, but I got lost after turning a few yards, and I went around for a long time before I came out. After speaking, Luo Xiaotian coughed a few times to relieve the embarrassment.
"If you knew that, I sent someone to take you for a walk. Now that we're back, we keep drinking. β
The king of Bei'an said, raised the wine glass in his hand and drank it all. Luo Xiaotian and the three of them also followed, putting the elixir in the cup into their stomachs.
"Xiaotian, what you asked the king to do, I have already asked someone to do it. The king himself vouched for you, and the money dealer has agreed to return all your mother's belongings to you. β
"I didn't expect the prince to help Xiaotian handle it so quickly, thank you prince." When Luo Xiaotian heard that he could retrieve his mother's relics, he was very happy in his heart, and he was also inexhaustibly grateful to King Bei'an.
"You're welcome, this is also the reward for your kind deeds of fighting violence. If it weren't for the fact that the person in charge heard that it was your mother's deposit, he would not have given this thin face to this king. β
Luo Xiaotian was in a good mood today, and his alcohol temperament also came up. He raised his glass and toasted the king of Bei'an to express his gratitude, and the king of Bei'an was even more interested.
The lakeside scenery also seems to be in for the fun β the breeze blows slowly on the surface of the lake, causing ripples and swaying water lilies in the lake.
Zhao Susu returned to the boudoir and was drinking the sweet soup brought in by the maid. Recalling the scenes that just happened, I couldn't help but smile. The maid on the side looked puzzled when she saw this scene.
"Daddy's guests can leave?" Zhao Susu asked the maid who was still stunned.
"I haven't left yet, we've been talking for more than an hour."
"That's all right." Zhao Susu couldn't help but smile and said.
"Miss, what makes you so happy today? I've never seen you like this on weekdays," the maid couldn't help but ask.
"It's nothing, I just watched a shadow puppet show and thought the story was interesting."
"A scene can make the young lady so happy, anyway, the little ones don't believe it." This maid has followed Zhao Susu for many years, and naturally said a word.
"Bad girl, stop talking. You help me listen to what Daddy and they have to talk about, and pay special attention to Daddy's attitude towards the demon killer boy. β
"Miss, the little one is not a stupid girl, ha." The maid had already seen through Zhao Susu's mind and was happy.
"Shut up, why don't you go?"
"Yesβmy miss." The maidservant said jokingly, then turned and exited the room.
Zhao Susu saw that the maid was gone, got up and walked to the windowsill, looking at the lake in a daze.
The three people who "listened to Lan Xuan" by the lake had three rounds of drinking, but they still had a hot chat.
"Xiaotian, can you give me some clues about your mother, maybe this king can help you. Relying on you alone, I'm afraid it's half the effort. β
"Lord Wang, I really don't want to trouble you about my mother. I don't have a lot of clues, and I can't give any useful clues. Everything depends on my fate with my mother. β
"It's okay to do this, this king is in Lingyang City, Kyoto, and he also has many friends. Did your mother have ties to officialdom? Tell me that's it. β
"My mother only has a spice shop, and she has no connection with officialdom."
"Since your mother's clues are unverifiable, what about your father? Is the surname Luo Sui's father? β
"The senior brother has his mother's surname, and his father has no news." The little junior sister replied to help Luo Xiaotian. Luo Xiaotian immediately glanced at her, and what the little junior sister hadn't said came to an abrupt end.
"It turned out to be my mother's surname, and there are only a few families with the surname Luo in Lingyang City, and this king should be able to help you find out some news."
"Lord Wang, no need, I just want to get back my mother's relics first, but I don't want to mobilize the people."
"Alas, at a young age, not only is he brave and strategic, but he is also humble and courteous, and he does not climb the road. If the dog were like Xiaotian, the king wouldn't have to worry all day. β
"The prince carries love, how can Xiaotian be compared with the prince's beloved son, Xiaotian is just a grass people."
"Haha...... Do not say. Come - eat and drink! β
A few cups of elixir to the stomach. Luo Xiaotian had no intention of drinking again, and wanted to meet Zhao Susu.
At this time, the maid found out the news and returned to Zhao Susu's room. Zhao Susu saw her push the door in, and hurriedly greeted her.
"How's it going? What did you talk about? What was Daddy's attitude towards him? β
"Miss, you let me take a breath. Miss is too anxious about Luo Xiaotian, he is not here to propose, what is the use of what the prince thinks. β
"Don't talk nonsense! It's just that you said that he was so amazing, and if you want to see what is going on, you don't have to guess anymore. β
"The prince is very concerned about him, but it seems that he is an orphan, and the prince has been trying to help him find his mother. also said that he was better than the little prince, and it would be nice if the little prince was like him...... It's all good things anyway. Think about it, he has been to the house several times, and the prince treats him badly and doesn't like it, can you still ask him to come and drink with him all the time? "This maid is also a bit clever, and she is very reasonable.
Hearing the maid's words, Zhao Susu couldn't hide the joy in her heart, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly.
Since meeting Luo Xiaotian, Zhao Susu has already blossomed. Just like the demon slayer boy she was thinking about in her heartβher eyes were thoughtful at the moment.
Tonight, what night, see this beloved, jade posture. Love at first sight, love at second sight, and lifelong love at third sight......
