Chapter 52: The Lights of the Mountains

Looking at the figure that was getting farther and farther away, leaning against the door, Liu Xi smiled, and then turned his head, but saw Ma Xiu behind him at some point. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Without waiting for him to speak, the latter hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Yusheng, that person just now is the person you said was the one who inquired about the news in the palace?" ”

was bumped into by Ma Xiu, Liu Xi didn't deny it, closed the courtyard door and said, "Well, a handyman in the palace met him a few days ago, so I asked him about it." ”

Hearing these words that seemed to be small talk, Ma Xiu was extremely grateful in his heart, but more suddenly he couldn't suppress his thoughts, "Thank you, Yusheng, but there is news from the county lord Shurou?" ”

Looking at the face full of eagerness, Liu Xi's chest welled up with worries that could not be dissipated, all the time, he had been thinking about how to let Ma Xiu and the county lord Shurou meet, but he ignored another thing, even if they met, Ma Xiu would be able to hug the beauty?

A prince and a county lord are all noble bodies with golden branches and jade leaves, and they are a pair made in heaven. But Ma Xiu is now just a down-and-out prince in the mortal world, how can he be right with Li Mingmen? What's more, marriage is a major event, and it needs the order of his parents, and the words of the matchmaker, how could the king of Zhenxi easily let him marry this barbarian Shu who has been recited by the world for a long time?

Inexplicably, Liu Xi's heart sank.

After a while, he came back to his senses in Ma Xiu's hurried call, and seeing the anxious look on the other party's face, Liu Xi hid the worry in his heart, patted Ma Xiu on the shoulder with a smile, and said what he had just heard, "Tonight's Lantern Festival, the lord of Shurou County will go out of the palace to play." ”

"Seriously!"

Ma Xiu grabbed Liu Xi's sleeve suddenly, and was in disbelief under joy, and when he saw his nod, he immediately smiled and hugged him, "Yusheng, thank you!" ”

"I can't thank me, today, if this marriage is yours, it will be yours after all."

Pushing Ma Xiu away, Liu Xi whispered this, and the next half of the sentence had not yet been spoken, but Ma Xiu had already trotted into the house, "Yusheng, you go and talk to Shuang'er and them, finish the wine and food earlier, take advantage of this gap, I have to change my clothes, I finally met, embroidery can't be rude in front of the lord of Shurou." ”

"Alas, it's not yours, don't force ......"

In the cold wind, Liu Xi sighed secretly, muttered softly, heard the crackling sound of Ma Xiu in the room, and after a while, rubbed his hands on his face that was slightly hot from eating and drinking, made a smile, and pushed the door into the living room.

Before he sat down and ate a few dishes, he saw Ma Xiu hurriedly stepping in, the previous gray squirrel wool cotton satin placket was replaced by a white dress, and the felt hat on his head was also taken off, becoming a jade crown with a bundle of hair, shaking a paper fan in his hand, he was indeed a young man with a graceful demeanor.

Ma Xiu's appearance, everyone looked towards him, the room suddenly quieted down, only to hear the sound of the paper fan in his hand shaking the thin wind, seems to be very satisfied with this feeling of attention, Ma Xiu is a tall chest brother, the paper fan in his hand shook more vigorously, making a strand of long hair hanging down his left forehead flutter wildly.

"Hiss......"

Xiao Wu gasped when he heard it, and then shuddered, "Brother today, when this cold wind is cold, you are dressed so thinly, could it be that you just went out to provoke the wind and cold, and your brain is also frozen?" ”

As soon as these words fell, I saw Wu Shuang'er rushing towards Ma Xiu very happily, "Ma Gongzi, if you are uncomfortable, Shuang'er can help you check your pulse, prick a few needles or prescribe a few medicines, it must be medicine to get rid of the disease." ”

Hiding to the side, avoiding Wu Shuang'er, Ma Xiu closed the paper fan with a depressed face, "Could it be that you don't think that embroidery is very beautiful and beautiful?" ”

As he spoke, he looked at everyone eagerly, but no one paid attention to him, Liu Xi's chopsticks that stopped in mid-air continued to stretch out towards the braised fish pieces, and after eating it, he praised Tian Xun'er's cooking skills with a smile; The corners of Dawu's mouth cracked slightly, and he drank with Qu Lang with a cup; Qin still lowered his head and whispered embroidery with Zhang Hu; The rest of Xiao Wu happily talked to Zhang Xiaoquan about the strange scenery and rare beasts in the back mountains of Baidang Mountain.

It seems that in an instant, the house has become harmonious again, but Ma Xiu is depressed, this feeling, as if he has done something very proud, but what he got is indifference, and under the loss, he saw Wu Shuang'er standing not far from him, looking carefully with his big eyes.

Suddenly, Ma Xiu's heart was happy, at least there were still people in the house who knew the goods, and just wanted to shake the paper fan and make a few chic movements, Wu Shuang'er turned around with a puzzled face, and whispered to himself, "It turns out that I really talked to Brother Xiaowu like that, but my brain is broken." Although it can't be compared with my son-in-law, but he is also a smart person, so he lost his mind, how is this good, alas......"

The little girl shook her head as she spoke, and at the end she still pretended to be old and sighed, which made Ma Xiu cry and laugh, and immediately stomped her feet and roared angrily, but this appearance could only provoke everyone to laugh loudly again.

There is a horse embroidery this anxious person, this dinner is naturally restless, fortunately, he has eaten a little full before, knowing the bitterness of his lovesickness, everyone got up, all of them should keep their belly to go to the market to eat the snack.

In addition to Zhang Hu's who wanted to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, Liu Xi and his party went out of the courtyard under the urging of Ma Xiu, the night was thick, the moonlight was cold, and a cold wind blew, with a biting coldness.

Holding Wu Shuang'er's little hand, his ears were full of Ma Xiu's words of constantly asking whether his clothes were neat and whether he looked good, and he heard Liu Xi nodding his head again and again, but he couldn't do it, so he could only hide to the side, and the latter grabbed Xiaowu and asked the same question.

"Okay, today, you look like you, you can be said to be suave and unmatched, and you are about to see the lord of Shurou, how can you be so twisted and pinched, and be the posture of that daughter's family?"

Hearing Liu Xi's words, Ma Xiu immediately coughed lightly twice, straightened his waist, and fanned the paper fan in his hand leisurely, but the white shirt looked a little out of place in this cold winter. Looking at the velvet jacket on his body, and then looking at the rest of the people who were wearing jackets around him, Liu Xi smiled and shook his head, maybe this difference can make Ma Xiu attract the beautiful eyes of the lord of Shurou to stay.

Although it was nightfall, the alleys were a little more lively than usual, and from time to time I saw children playing with thickly wrapped lanterns, and the sound of joyful laughter spread, a little carefree innocence.

After a while, when I came to the street, there was a beautiful scene in front of me, all kinds of lanterns fell like stars falling into the dust, bright and bright, and there was an endless stream of people on the street, there were yellow-haired old people, and there were also drooping children, all of whom were smiling at the corners of their mouths and with joy on their faces.

Holding a lantern rewarded by answering the riddle correctly, walking among the crowd, listening to the exclamations of Wu Shuang'er shouting from time to time in his ears, Liu Xi felt that he was out of the hustle and bustle and looked at the world with his eyes.

Of course, if you don't count the horse embroidery that has been pulling him to find the lord of Shurou by his side.

"Yusheng, have you seen the county lord?"

The monkey looked around anxiously, Ma Xiu looked very uneasy, even though the street scene was beautiful, and many little ladies around him were flattering, but this guy couldn't see it, just blindly pulled Liu Xi's sleeves, and his face gradually gave birth to a look of disappointment.

"Look, there, Lord Shurou!"

Suddenly, Wu Shuang'er, who was lingering in the many lanterns, whispered, following what her little hand was looking for, but saw that there was a high platform in front of her, on which there were many simple huts with wooden planks, and a row of delicate lanterns hung in front of her, although it looked simple, it was elegant.

Just when Liu hoped to go, the crowd of onlookers dispersed, and the still pale face of the king of Tanglin wore a white jacket, surrounded by guards, and climbed the high platform, smiled and looked at the people under the lookout to see the lively people, and sat on the wooden chair that was moved and padded with animal skins.

Behind him, Li Mengxiao and the three of them stood behind the King of Tanglin in the same clothes as they did in the 'Hundred Gardens' that day, Liu Xi glanced at it and did not find a mysterious driver with extremely high cultivation.

Maybe when he saw Li Ming, who couldn't be seen for a long time, Ma Xiu actually grabbed Liu Xi's right arm with joy.

When Ma Xiu was ecstatic, a white-haired old man walked in front of the king of Tangling, and his modest attitude was like a mellow jade.

The white-haired old man bowed his head and said a few words to the king of Tanglin, and when the latter smiled and bowed slightly, he raised his head and looked at the audience, which was also magical, and the white-haired old man looked at it, and the surroundings that were a little noisy suddenly became quiet.

"Tomorrow is the beginning of the year, the king of Tanglin is also the same as in the past, set up this 'Yuewen Pavilion' on the lantern festival, put ten lantern riddles, there are virtuous people can take the stage, and the winner of this time can get the former dynasty painting saint Wu Xuzi's masterpiece 'Qingquan Stone Upstream' treasured by the prince."

It wasn't until the old man finished speaking that there were sighs from the audience, most of them were jade-faced scholars. They may have come to see the excitement; Or maybe he wanted to take this opportunity to show his talent and get the favor of King Tanglin.

Over the years, Confucianism has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and everything is inferior, only reading is high, so that most of the current readers are aware of the Yushu Lingfeng and the destiny is extraordinary. Looking at the appearance of no one in their eyes, Ma Xiu shook the paper fan hatefully, the grievances between the miscellaneous family and Confucianism, even if they were uninhibited, it was difficult to let go.

Sensing the change in Ma Xiu's expression, Liu Xi tugged at the corners of his sleeves and comforted him softly, "Today, the mountains are up, the world is drunk and I am awake, and there are thousands of years in my heart, why bother mediocre people?" ”

Hearing this, Ma Xiu's heart was much more open-minded, "What Yusheng said is extremely true, it is really a loss of identity to deal with these people who can only shake their heads and only seek utilitarian benefits." ”

Immediately seeing that someone was already ready to try, Ma Xiu hurriedly stepped forward, "These foolish people with their superficial appearances are showing off here, but they can't let them be in the limelight, I will go to this high platform, otherwise how can the lord of Shurou see the figure of embroidery in the vast sea of people." ”

took two steps, but turned back again, pulled Liu Xi's sleeve, swallowed his saliva and said, "Yusheng, it is inevitable that there will be real talents among these people, you can help me a little bit." ”

"Childe, you have to take down the jade rabbit lantern for Shuang'er!"

Before Liu Xi could speak, Wu Shuang'er pointed to the jade rabbit lantern on the high platform and said happily, Tian Xun'er on the side also had a look of anticipation in her eyes, Liu Xi understood that she liked to paint the masterpiece of Saint Wu Xuzi.

In that case, let's go to the high platform.
