CHAPTER XXV
Since the Peony Garden, Twilight Liuyun seems to have found a new way, playing the piano today, painting tomorrow, or going to the peach orchard, playing chess, drinking tea, staying all day, Xin Yao, as a personal maid, naturally has to follow everywhere, there is no time to be alone all day long, only to get up secretly in the morning early, go to a place where no one is there to practice swordsmanship.
The four princes often come to join in the fun, talking to Xin Yao from time to time, and sometimes using their own works, looking for Xin Yao to judge and judge, saying that Du Liuyun and Mo Wen have always used his works as jokes, they haven't really seen it, they can't look down on it, only Xin Yao is different, every time he says it, it's heartfelt words, Xin Yao listens to him say this, it's not easy to shirk, all rely on the four princes.
For a while, people felt that since Miss Xin Yao came, the whole day was different, and the National Teacher was always cold to them before, and they were all afraid, but now they seem to be much kinder to these people.
It was almost the end of the year, and Xin Yao asked Twilight Liuyun: "It's been more than two months, why hasn't Xiaoxue arrived yet?" ”
Twilight said, "Now that the snow is covering the mountains, I can't get over it at all, and I'll come when spring begins." With my guards here, Xiaoxue won't suffer. ”
Xin Yao also made sense when she heard it, so let's do it first.
In fact, the situation is also true, the mountain is covered with snow, and people can't get over, but the light snow is not because it can't pass, but runs away again.
That day, Twilight Liuyun took Xin Yao into Guancheng, and within two days, Xiaoxue returned to Guancheng and wandered at the gate of Guancheng, thinking that when the third watch was in the middle of the night, she would turn back into a rabbit and get in.
At this time, a guard came over and asked, "Is it the little snow girl?" ”
Xiaoxue wondered, how did this person know me.
The guard saw that she didn't talk, and said: "I am the guard of the National Teacher's mansion, I saw the girl that day, and the National Teacher asked me to take you into the city." ”
Xiaoxue heard it, okay, let's talk about it in the city. So he followed the guard into the city, because it was already dark, and the guard found an inn and Xiaoxue on the spot to stay. At dinner, the guard said to Xiaoxue: "Girl, my family has already returned to Jinyang City with which little brother, and when I left, I was instructed to take you to the National Teacher's Mansion, and the little brother was waiting for you in the National Teacher's Mansion." ”
As soon as Xiaoxue heard that she was going to the National Teacher's Mansion, she wouldn't be finished, but the road was far away, and she didn't know the way, so it was better to follow the guards first and wait until she got to the place before running.
In this way, the two walked for more than ten days, Xiaoxue really didn't want to be with the guard, the wood was bumpy, and she didn't talk to Xiaoxue, so she knew that she was in a hurry, and she was bored, so she thought of a way, figured out the route from the guard's mouth, and ran away while the guard was checking out the bill.
After the guard finished settling the account, he couldn't find Xiaoxue when he turned back, and he was so anxious that he turned around, how to explain this to the national teacher, so he had to stay nearby, and looked for several days, but he didn't find it, so he found a fast horse and hurried back to Jinyang City.
When he arrived at the National Teacher's Mansion, he went to the National Teacher to confess his guilt and told the matter as it was. Where will Twilight Liuyun cure the sin of this guard, he knows how Xiaoxue can come to the National Teacher's Mansion obediently, so he ordered this guard to keep it secret. The guards wept in gratitude, and took the order to retreat.
Twilight Liuyun was afraid that Xin Yao would ask about Xiaoxue, so she made up a lie early and said it seamlessly.
***
Jinyang City, which is about to pass the New Year, is particularly lively, and Twilight Liuyun wants to take Xin Yao out for a walk.
Early in the morning, Xin Yao had just finished practicing swords and returned to the house, when she saw a set of pink clothes on the bed.
Twilight Liuyun stood behind her and said, "For you, put it on, today we will go to the most lively place in Jinyang." ”
Xin Yao was a little excited when she heard that she was going shopping, she had been here for so long, and she hadn't been out yet, so she turned around and smiled at Twilight Liuyun, her eyes were full of light, Twilight Liuyun was stunned, turned around and walked out, "I'll wait for you outside the gate." ”
When Xin Yao put on her skirt and walked out, Twilight Liuyun felt that the pink in front of her was so dazzling, as if she saw the woman at the Hundred Flowers Banquet again, looking forward to being displaced, delicate and cute.
Twilight took off the fox cloak from her arm and carefully draped it over Xin Yao, helping her tie the belt.
On the street of the New Year's Pass, the people who come and go are endless, the cries of selling are constantly fluctuating, juggling, pinching clay people, and rock sugar gourds, and the lively is about to catch up with the temple fair.
Xin Yao ran in front, looking at the fan for a while, and touching the lantern for a while, Twilight Liuyun followed behind, her eyes were full of doting, as long as it was something she had touched, she ordered someone to buy it.
Xin Yao saw that there was a pinched multicolored clay figure, walked over and stood next to it and looked, the master who pinched the multicolored clay figure saw that she was good-looking, and pinched one out in a few clicks and gave it to Xin Yao.
Xin Yao took it, this colorful clay figure was really good-looking, very much like herself, so she held it up to show Twilight Liuyun. Twilight took the little clay figurine and said to the clay figurine master, "Pinch me one too." ”
The master raised his head and looked at Twilight for a moment, he had never seen such a handsome man, and quickly replied, "Okay, okay, wait a minute." After speaking, he lowered his head and began, pinched a few times to look at Twilight Liuyun, and it took a long time before he handed the pinched colorful clay figure to Twilight Liuyun, and said apologetically: "Childe, don't mind, I really can't pinch your charm, so that's the only way." ”
Twilight Liuyun is holding the multicolored clay figurine, which is not bad, a bit like herself, seeing that Xin Yao is in a hurry next to her, she handed the colorful clay figurine to her. He took out a pengot of silver and gave it to the master and put it on the stall. The master of the clay figure had seen so much silver, and his hand trembled and picked it up and returned it to Twilight Liuyun: "Childe, don't want money, don't want money." ”
Twilight smiled and said, "Take it, I'm happy today, you pinched it well, put it away." ”
The master was overjoyed, and with great gratitude, he put away the money.
It's almost noon, Twilight Liuyun pulled Xin Yao to the best restaurant in Jinyang "Piaoxiang Pavilion" to eat, just entered, the people who ate looked up at them, these two people are too eye-catching, men are actually more beautiful than women, they all stared. Someone recognized it as the National Teacher, and then the whole hall was boiling, and they all stood up and saluted Twilight Liuyun. Twilight Liuyun couldn't help it, nodded and pulled Xinyao up to the second floor.
After the two finished eating, Twilight Liuyun pulled Xin Yao to "Jade Xuan", which is the most famous jewelry store in Jinyang City.
Xin Yao asked, "What are you doing here?" ”
Twilight Cloud: "I want to give a girl a New Year's gift, I don't know how to choose, you help me." ”
It turned out that adults also have a favorite woman, Xin Yao thought and said, "Okay, don't worry, my lord, the slave will choose well." ”
The boss saw that the person who came looked like a god descending from heaven and was dressed in gold, so he greeted him excitedly: "Two guest officers, please do you want anything, look at it." ”
Twilight waved his hand and motioned for him to step aside, but the boss understood and hurriedly stood silently.
Xin Yao looked at this, looked at that, and thought to herself, the woman didn't know whether she liked the elegant or the rich, it was really hard to choose, so she turned around and asked, "What kind of does she like?" ”
Twilight: "Whatever you like, she likes." ”
Xin Yao nodded: "Oh." After a sigh, he looked down and saw a magnolia hairpin in the cabinet, and picked it up: "Is this okay?" ”
Twilight: "Okay, that's it. Boss, wrap it up and send it to the National Teacher's Mansion. ”
When the boss heard that it was the national teacher, he knelt down and kowtowed: "I know, the national teacher, the villain will be delivered immediately." ”
Twilight nodded.
As soon as the two of them came out of Jade Xuan, Twilight Liuyun found that someone was staring at this side around the corner, it was a Jin State spy, hum! Eyeing it so quickly, it seems that this Jin State spy is really dedicated and wants to make meritorious contributions! So with a flick of his sleeve, the spy was cleaned up by Twilight. Twilight Liuyun looked at Xin Yao, what if there were spies, as long as she was happy, it didn't matter where she went. So he took Xin Yao to the theater to listen to the play again.
When the two returned to the National Teacher's Mansion, it was already evening. Unexpectedly, the four princes had already come to the mansion, and when they heard that Twilight Liuyun was going shopping, they waited for Mo Wen, drank wine with Mo Wen, and refused to leave.
Twilight Liuyun had no choice but to go to Mo again, the four princes were already drunk in a daze, and their mouths were still shouting: "Why do you want to go shopping, you have to go shopping by yourself, and you still pull one, it's too much!" ”
Twilight frowned and ordered the four princes to be sent back.
