Chapter Fifty-Eight: Smoke Willow
Du Heng has been too busy lately.
Since the news of Du Jun's great joy was released, families of all sizes have begun to come to say goodbye. Originally, there was still a period of time before the day of marriage, but there were still some families who came to Ganjuo in advance with gifts, saying that they wanted to be happy, and were ready to come again on the day of marriage to congratulate them with bigger gifts.
They don't bother, but Du Heng does.
It's just a matter of coming once, and doing something so many times is like stepping on a point.
But it's useless to be troublesome, people are here to congratulate, and you can't pull down your face to drive people away. Therefore, Du Heng was busy receiving representatives of various families every day, and Yuyang was busy receiving gifts and thanks, and the two of them were very busy.
Fortunately, Mu Yu didn't have to meet these people in advance, and it saved some trouble. It's just that I'm in Ganjujube, and I will inevitably run into one or two guests when I go out and go in. Quan Hui accompanied her around, and often heard these guests privately exclaim that the future queen of the Du family had such a peerless face, even more beautiful than a fairy, it was really hard to imagine that this woman was just a mortal.
Every time she heard this, Quan Hui felt proud in her heart, as if those people were boasting about themselves.
The left and right couldn't help, so Quan Hui thought about taking Muyu to Beizhu to play.
Although the Kabuki in Beizhu are all immortals, and the men who receive them are all men of the immortal clan, they will not be as smoky as the fireworks and willow alleys in the mortal world. But Beizhu is still a kiln in essence, and it is not appropriate for girls to hang out there if they have nothing to do.
So at first, Du Heng disagreed, but Quan Hui pulled him to grind and soak him every day, from the main hall to the bedroom, from the school field to the guest room, and almost followed him to the toilet. Du Heng was already annoyed by the reception of guests, and he couldn't stand a little girl who caused trouble from time to time, so he agreed that the two of them would go to Beizhu to play, just on the condition of bringing Kunpeng.
Quan Hui didn't think there was anything wrong with bringing one more bird, so she agreed.
For the sake of convenience, the two of them still changed into men's clothes.
Under the men's clothing, Mu Yu is handsome, beautiful and refined, like a carefree fairy who does not care about the world. Quan Hui was stunned for a long time when she saw it, and she didn't dare to recognize each other for a while.
Based on the experience of the last time, Beizhu should have set up secret doors in many mortal flower and willow alleys, so the two of them found the entrance to Beizhu without much effort.
Beizhu is still the same Beizhu, with brilliant lights everywhere, and the sound of silk and bamboo orchestras is endless. Although it was daytime before I came in, as soon as I arrived in the territory of Beizhu, a jade disk-like moon hung high in the night sky, exactly like the last time I came.
It seems that there is only night and no day in the whole of Hokunagisa.
The lights are warm and yellow, the fragrance is thick, and the fairy Ji dressed in various colors of gauze is flying up and down in the air, singing and dancing lightly, smiling and laughing, and the atmosphere is very ambiguous.
Quan Hui held a folding fan and jumped to clear the way in front of her, and the eagle on her shoulder flapped its wings from time to time because she couldn't stand steadily. Mu Yu followed slowly behind without hesitation, only occasionally looking up at Xian Ji floating in the starlight, looking as usual.
"Sister Muyu...... Childe, is it fun here? Quan Hui turned around and shouted at Mu Yuhuan.
"It's fun."
Quan Hui ran to Mu Yu's side and said, "I don't think you think it's fun here at all, and you don't laugh." ”
Mu Yu said lightly: "I've always been like this." ”
Quan Hui begged: "Mu Gongzi, just laugh at it, you must be very good-looking when you smile......"
Mu Yu glanced at Quan Hui helplessly, straightened her collar slightly, didn't speak, and continued to walk towards the center of the street.
Quan Hui was a little discouraged, but the energy was fleeting, and her attention was soon drawn to the delicate and ornate buildings on both sides of the street and the stunningly beautiful fairy queen.
Those fairies caressed the instruments in their hands, and the ethereal music flowed to their fingertips. Some instruments don't even have a body, just a few rootless strings floating in the air.
Quan Hui was in a hurry last time, and she didn't have time to carefully appreciate these magical ways of playing, and she couldn't help but want to take a closer look. However, there are all kinds of fairy girls, this one is not enough, and the next one comes to the eyes, dizzying, going to and from the other, seeing Quanhui's heart blooming, overjoyed.
Suddenly, a fairy in a smoke-colored gauze robe floated down and hung down in front of Quan Hui. The fairy was perched on a swing, her robe swaying with her lithely dancing form. The swing had no substance, just a bright white light, as if it had fallen from the moon.
Xian Ji held the light rope in both hands, sang softly in her mouth, and tugged at Quan Hui's heartstrings with a very sultry gaze.
"The autumn moon sprinkles golden waves, drinks with you, and twilight is facing the dynasty again. Regardless of the wind and rain, I only wish to always accompany you by your side, and share the ...... with wings and branches."
Although the words are gorgeous, the tune is fresh and elegant, and it is indescribably comfortable to use.
After singing the song, Quan Hui was still immersed in the beautiful singing, and she didn't come back to her senses for a long time.
She said to herself: "Presumably, this is the talented woman that men like......"
The fairy Ji leaned down slightly towards Quan Hui, gently hooked Quan Hui's chin with her fingertips, and exhaled like a land: "Do you like the song I sing?" ”
Quan Hui nodded hurriedly and said, "I like it!" What a good singing! ”
Xian Ji giggled, turned her waist slightly, and wrapped herself around Quanhui's side like a snuggled cat.
"Then I'll sing another song to the girl, okay?"
"Girl?!" Quan Hui broke out in a cold sweat, "Who is the girl?" Where is the girl? ”
She looked around vigilantly, afraid that someone else would find out who she was. But the people around her still seemed to have their own thoughts, and no one noticed her.
The fairy laughed again, stretched out a white arm around Quan Hui's shoulder, and said in her ear: "Don't be afraid, girls, they can't hear us." ”
Quan Hui turned her head sharply, facing the face of Shang Xian Ji at the base of her ear, and her cheeks burned to the ground.
Seeing Quan Hui's shy appearance, Xian Ji became even more presumptuous, her face was close to her face, and a jade hand gently scratched Quan Hui's neck, and said in Quan Hui's ear in a very seductive tone: "Don't be shy, girl, there are also many girls in Beizhu who come to play, and I received them." Whatever the girl wants to play, just tell me, I can agree to anything......"
The fairy Ji bit the word "what" very temptingly, and the little snake burrowed into Quan Hui's ears, which made Quan Hui's heart flutter.
She hurriedly shook her head, trying to sober herself up, stretched out her hand to pull Mu Yu's sleeve, and said, "Childe, let's go quickly!" It's not fun here. ”
However, this pull, Quan Hui was suddenly so frightened that she was about to cry.
Mu Yu disappeared at some point!
She took Xian Ji's hand and cried, "Sister, have you seen the son who came with me?" ”
Xian Ji looked puzzled, shook her head and said, "Childe? When I came, I only saw you, girl, and I didn't see any son. ”
Quan Hui suddenly thought of the eagle on her shoulder, so she held the eagle's talon again, and said hurriedly: "What about you?" Do you see her? ”
The eagle blinked, "chirped" twice, and tilted its head to look at Quan Hui.
Quan Hui didn't understand the meaning of the eagle either, but when she saw that it didn't fly or jump, she probably didn't see it, and her face twitched, and tears welled up in her eyes.
"What should I do...... I lost Sister Muyu...... Sister Fang is going to scold me to death......"
The fairy Ji saw Quan Hui crying and was a little flustered. She took out a handkerchief from her arms, wiped her tears for Quan Hui, and comforted: "Don't cry, girl, Beizhu is so big, it is common to get lost with her companions, and it is not difficult to find someone." ”
When Quan Hui heard this, she immediately stopped crying and said, "Really? Where to find it? ”
"From here, go all the way down the street," Xian Jiyu pointed with her hand, "There is a small temple at the end of the street, you go to the temple and ask." ”
"Temple?" Tsuen Hui is unknown.
Xian Ji nodded, patted Quan Hui on the shoulder again, and motioned for her to hurry over.
Quan Hui was confused, but there was no other way but to walk along the street.
At the end of the street, the light was dim, and a small temple half a man high sat quietly.
Quan Hui looked at this pitifully small temple with some wonder, and even wondered if she had gone to the wrong place. But when she looked around, she didn't see any other temples, so she had to squat down in front of the small temple.
A black cat squatted on the altar and closed its eyes to recuperate, and as soon as Quan Hui squatted down, her eyes suddenly widened, and her mouth made a "hissing" sound.
As soon as the eagle saw the cat, it also made a rapid "chirp" sound, its wings fluttered, and the tips of its claws slashed into Quan Hui's shoulders. Quan Hui was in pain, and screamed "ouch".
She didn't know the cause and effect, so she pulled the eagle's talon off her shoulder, and complained, "What's wrong with you? What do you see? ”
The eagle landed on the offering table, barked at the cat, and knocked the bowl on the table to the ground with one wing.
The black cat arched its back violently, its fur stood on end, its tail became short and thick, and its mouth full of sharp teeth opened and roared.
Quan Hui saw the tense appearance of a cat and an eagle, and was confused. She picked up the bowl that fell on the ground, put it on the table again, stroked the eagle's head and said, "Kunpeng, don't make trouble, we are here to find Sister Muyu, if you provoke it, we won't be able to find anyone, if we can't find anyone, Sister Fang will go crazy......"
Quan Hui's nose was sour, and tears flowed down again.
The eagle seemed to understand the words, and gradually calmed down, but its eyes were still staring at the black cat, as if it was ready to attack.
Quan Hui folded her hands and asked the black cat, "Cat, cat, I want you to help me find someone." Her name is Muyu, she is a girl, do you know where she is? ”
The black cat "meowed" angrily, as if to say "know".
Quan Hui said happily: "Then can you take me there?" ”
The black cat wagged its tail, looked at the bowl on the table, and glared angrily at the eagle. A pair of tricks flashed with golden light, illuminating the small temple that contained them.
Quan Hui looked at the bowl and then at the eagle, and wondered, "You don't want it in exchange, do you?" ”
"Wow!"
The eagle seemed to be enraged again, flapping its wings so violently that it almost overturned the offering table.
The cat ignored the eagle's provocation, and only glanced at Quan Hui with contempt, and then closed its eyes haughtily.
Quan Hui sighed frustratedly, and said to herself: "It's over now, this Beizhu is so big, if you look for it door to door, room by room, I can't find it for ten days and a half months." What's more, it's a big day in a few days, if I tell Sister Fang that I lost his bride, he won't kill me......"
She crooked her legs, knelt on the ground, looked at the eagle with resentful eyes, and muttered again: "However, this Kunpeng is a life-saving grace for Sister Fang, and it is a powerful divine beast, how can it be possible to use Kunpeng to exchange news?" Alas, Kunpeng is important, and Sister Muyu is also important, what can I do about this......"
"Is it okay to exchange me for Sister Muyu?" Quan Hui looked at the black cat pitifully.
The black cat's throat purred, and his voice was full of disdain.
The eagle winked at Quan Hui, looked up at the moon again, and suddenly let out a long "chirp". The chirp was vigorous and desolate, as if lamenting the tricks of fate.
Before Quan Hui could react, the eagle jumped upwards and turned into a small fish and bounced into the cat's bowl on the table. As soon as the fish is in the bowl, it disappears in a blink of an eye.
The moment the fish disappeared, the black cat suddenly opened its eyes and screamed "woo", full of triumphant excitement. It jumped off the altar, looked back at Quan Hui, and ran out into the street.
Quan Hui hurriedly got up from the ground and ran wildly, for fear that if she was a little slower, she would not be able to keep up with the black cat.
One person and one cat, turn left and right in Beizhu City, and soon come to a flower building with a very grand decoration.
Before Quan Hui could get closer, there was a sudden burst of evil laughter in the flower building.
"A woman dressed as a man? Is it a new gadget in the Forgotten Spring Building? Come over and let Grandpa take a good look! ”
