Chapter 54: Birthday Gifts

Before Wu Ye arrived, everyone was speculating whether Miss Bai Luo's aesthetics would remain at the same level as ever this time, so they made a bet, Yan Ying bet on a gold ingot, and the result was a defeat, so that he had a dead man's mouth that could say alive, and there was no trace of quibble, after all, everyone is not blind, and the ugly and beautiful are still clear. Qi used knife coins, gold is not a circulating currency, its value is much higher than knife coins, only the upper class will use gold when buying more valuable things, it can be seen that Yan Ying lost really badly.

The doormen of the lower courtyard live in the same courtyard all the year round, they are familiar with each other, and Wu Ye's personality is originally very bold, so everyone quickly became friends, and this coincidental dinner became Wu Ye's reception.

People came and went during the banquet, and Wu Ye didn't know how much he had drunk, anyway, he didn't refuse to come, and he happily shouted in his mouth that the wine was a thousand glasses less than his confidant.

The people who came to toast were even more excited, they drank the wine bowl in one go, and when they drank it back, Wu Ye felt that his mouth had never been closed, someone brought a glass to the front, and he raised his head and drank a cup, and the elderly woman sitting on the side kept persuading: "Don't drink, don't drink, this is here to clean up the table, not to toast." ”

In the end, Wu Ye was carried back to the upper courtyard by a group of people on all fours, and fell into a deep sleep, not waking up.

In a trance, Wu Ye saw a figure in the distance, walking alone between heaven and earth, the sky was bone white, the ground was charcoal red, and every foot fell as if it was as weak as falling into the mud, and his intuition told Wu Ye that the person in front of him was Wu Yong. Wu Ye roared as hard as he could, but his voice could not be transmitted between this heaven and earth. In this way, the two walked between the colorful heaven and earth, not far or near, isolated from each other.

Wu Ye saw that in front of Wu Yong, there was a vermilion lacquer giant gate standing between heaven and earth, and it was closed there, waiting for Wu Yong to push it open.

"Don't, come back!" Wu Ye struggled to catch up, getting closer and closer to Wu Yong.

Wu Yong stood in front of the giant gate, slowly raised his right hand and pressed it on the door.

"Wu Yong!" Wu Ye grabbed Wu Yong's shoulder.

"Ahh A woman's cry made Wu Ye open his eyes instantly, Bai Luo touched his right hand that broke free from Wu Ye's claws, and pretended to be angry and said: "I didn't expect to drink some wine, your true nature will be exposed, is this considered a murder by drinking." ”

Wu Ye smiled embarrassedly, patted his forehead and said, "I just had a nightmare." ”

Bai Luo said: "Seeing that your expression is so flustered, did you dream that some beautiful little lady abandoned you?" ”

Wu Ye said: "No, I dreamed of a tigress coming to me, which is quite scary." ”

Bai Luo picked up the fan and knocked Wu Ye hard, got up and left, and said, "Just let the tigress eat you." ”

Wu Ye didn't expect to be drunk like this, and when he struggled to get up, he heard Bai Luo's voice in the courtyard.

"Come to my hospital tomorrow morning."

A hangover, two days off, Wu Ye didn't expect that he was drunk for two days, on the third morning after washing up early, Yan Ying came to the door, Wu Ye knew that Bai Luo had summoned all the guests in the upper courtyard to discuss together, so he followed Yan Ying directly to Bai Luo's mansion, and when they arrived, four people had gathered in the hall, and Yan Ying introduced Wu Ye one by one. The man with a rickety body and a goatee is called Jiao Chen, a man with a pair of goldfish eyes and thin lips is called Jin Yuan, a tall man with a cyan birthmark covering half of his face on his left cheek is called Yi Biao, and a beautiful woman with red lips and white skin, gentle and demure is called Murong Sha. The four of them looked at Wu Ye repeatedly, and their eyes did not reveal much friendliness.

"You are Wu Ye? I heard that you went to the lower courtyard the day before yesterday and drank a few jars of drunkenness, and you were as drunk as mud, and you couldn't wake up when you screamed, and you couldn't pour the sobering soup into it, so you just asked Miss Bai to postpone the discussion today. "Jin Yuan's first impression of Wu Ye, who was overly drunk, was extremely poor, a person who lacked self-control could not become an atmosphere, and he had a talent in vain, in today's changing world, tenacious heart is often more reliable than God-given talent.

Wu Ye touched his nose and smiled embarrassedly. Jin Yuan snorted coldly, turned his head away, and ignored it again.

Jiao Chen touched his goatee and looked at Wu Ye with an unfathomable expression, revealing a cunning meaning in his eyes. Yi Biao's expression never changed from beginning to end, his mouth pursed, his expression was blank, and he couldn't tell whether he was disgusted or ignored. Murong Sha, who is famous for embroidery, shows the elegance and patience that has been tempered by long-term desk work, and her eyes communicate with Wu Ye for a moment, expressing her understanding of Wu Ye's drunkenness.

But after a while, two more people came into the hall. The man who kept croaking in his mouth had a kind of sadness that was not old and decrepit, and the little hair left on his shiny head was scattered scattered. The other man had a striking rosacea red nose and a beard that was strong enough to plunge the man next to him into deep contempt. He looked up and saw Wu Ye, his eyes lit up, he came up and patted Wu Ye on the shoulder familiarly, and said, "Young man, I heard that you went to the lower courtyard the day before yesterday to fight with Old Man Xun's gang and kill all sides!" Well, it's half the style of an old man, haha. ”

Wu Ye didn't expect that a wine could also become famous, and he was very embarrassed.

"Don't listen to this guy's blowing, when you go into the lower yard, you weren't filled into a soft-footed crab and crawl out of the house. Wu Ye remembered this guy who can only talk big and is not afraid of flashing his tongue, Deng Li! "Yan Ying ruthlessly exposed the shorts." I don't need you to introduce it, in the lower east Guo Chou. ”

The eight immortals under Bailuomen finally gathered together, Yan Ying and Wu Ye had a friendship of fighting, and naturally stood with Wu Ye. Dongguo Chou and Deng Li are side by side, Jiao Chen, Jin Yuan, and Yi Biao are well together, and the only woman, Murong Sha, is calm and calm, not close to anyone, but also not deliberately estranged.

The weird atmosphere didn't last for a while, Bai Luo hurriedly came, today Bai Luo wore an emerald green shirt, looking particularly energetic and vigorous, standing with the "Eight Immortals" in the house, and suddenly there was a feeling of the stars holding the moon.

"I gathered everyone together today to discuss the preparation of a birthday gift for Ji Yuanhou." Bai Luo explained the reason straight to the point.

"The birthday ceremony is based on the thousands of miles of mountains and rivers embroidered by Sister Murong, and Sister Lao Murong has worked hard in the past two years." Bai Luo expressed his gratitude to Murong Sha very sincerely. In the past two years, Murong Sha has not stepped out of the weaving workshop for half a step, and has poured all her efforts into this thousands of miles of mountains and rivers. Thousands of miles of mountains and rivers is a masterpiece of the early years of the painting saint Wu Daoxuan, full of pride in the scenery of the mainland countries, the painting is now collected in the palace of the king of Jin, the whole picture scroll is said to be thirty-three zhang long, ten zhang high, Jin Wengong specially opened a house to put this painting.

The Bai family and the Jin Kingdom have had a business friendship for many years, and Bai Luo begged the old lady Bai to ask for a personal favor with the Duke of Jin Wen, and was fortunate to take Murong Sha to observe this painting with his own eyes. Murong Sha not only has amazing embroidery skills, but also has a super memory ability that can never be forgotten, Bai Luo instructed her to spend three days to memorize the whole painting in her mind, and then use the embroidery skills to reproduce the painting.

Murong Sha stayed in the showroom for seven days, and when she came out, her face was pale, and her nosebleed slowly after being exposed to the sun, and she said weakly to Bai Luo: "Fortunately, I am not dishonored." ”

It wasn't until this huge project was officially launched two years ago that Bai Luo understood why Murong Sha would stay in the showroom for seven days, and the complexity of this work was far beyond Bai Luo's imagination, in Murong Sha's words, it was "thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, and the slightest detail was complete".

A pavilion the size of a fingernail on the painting, magnified with a crystal lens, can actually see the inscription on the pillar of the pavilion. Murong Sha, who is confident and skillful, has the heart of victory and defeat, even if the opponent is a painting saint, she vows to reproduce thousands of miles of mountains and rivers on the thorn brocade.

So she worked day and night, with dozens of embroidery girls, and it took two years to finally complete this work. Eight embroiderers lost their sight directly after the project was completed.

Although they had been with the embroidery for two years, they were not allowed to approach the embroidery even one step further from the day it was completed, and the blind and unblind embroiderers stood at a distance, supporting each other, tears streaming from their dry eyes.

Bai Luo and the others went to the tightly guarded storeroom, took out the key from the close-fitting pocket, and opened the brass lock. At a glance, Wu Ye saw the huge embroidery spread in the center of the warehouse, red cotton satin, and five-colored threads, which were re-embroidered according to the size of the original for thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, and were carefully stacked in sections and placed on the shelves, and the gold and silver jewelry next to them were suddenly eclipsed like bricks and rubble.

In the past two years, Bai Luo will personally supervise the progress of embroidery as long as he is free, but the moment he just entered the door, he was still stunned for a moment, and said: "Let's think about the process of escorting the birthday gift tomorrow, is there any mistake?" ”

So everyone simulated and calculated the whole process that will be carried out tomorrow to ensure that nothing went wrong. Bai Luo quietly paced beside the embroidery, the early morning sunlight penetrated into the warehouse, reflected by the gold and silver jewelry, exuding a misty halo, one person and one embroidery, in this hairy halo, as if time was frozen. Wu Ye was also a little fascinated by it.

"If you don't think there's a problem, that's all for today." Bai Luo said.

Yan Ying said a little nervously: "When I went out this morning, I felt that my eyelids kept jumping, and when I just entered the warehouse and saw this embroidery, I was even more jumping, I was worried that something would happen." ”

Everyone looked at Yan Ying at the same time.

Bai Luo asked, "Mr. Yan is worried about the safety of embroidery?" ”

Yan Ying touched her nose and said, "Miss Bai knows that there are often some inexplicable premonitions in the future, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. It's hard to say, but be careful to sail a 10,000-year-old ship! ”

Bai Luo glanced at Yan Ying with a strange expression, thought for a moment and said, "That night, I will trouble Yi Biao and Jin Yuan to assist in guarding the treasury, and when the matter comes, we really can't take it lightly." ”

Jin Yuan and Yi Biao nodded, very much in agreement with Bai Luo's cautious actions.

Wu Ye said: "I'll come over at night, one more person and one more pair of eyes." ”

Jin Yuan frowned, and Yi Biao still had a wooden face. Bai Luo looked at Wu Ye and said, "Since you think so, it's okay, with you, I'm more at ease." ”

Jin Yuan snorted lightly, expressing a little dissatisfaction.

Yan Ying said: "Why don't we all come over at night, the three of you guard the warehouse, and a few of us drink some wine and chat in the yard, if there is really something, we can take care of it." ”

Murong Sha nodded yes first, and the other three had no opinion.

Bai Luo said: "I still have something to do at night, so I will trouble you." ”

Everyone said together: "It is incumbent on you to do things for Miss Bai!" ”
