Chapter 709: The Goddess of the Snow Mountain (Third Update)
In the second year of the Tang Dynasty, Layue.
Scattered snowflakes drifted in the sky above Bianjing City, turning this world's most heroic city into a white world.
This is the first snow of this winter.
The air was cold, and the crystal clear hexagonal ice flowers slowly fell to the brown brim of the hat.
Under the brim of the hat, a bearded man tore his throat and shouted, "Sugar gourd!" Sour and sweet sugar gourd! ”
This roar is full of breath and long and long. But in the midst of all the shouting, the bearded man's voice was quickly drowned out.
At the West Xuanmen, there are a sea of people.
Wrapped in thick cotton clothes by a hawker rubbing. Rubbing his frozen hands, he breathed white air, and spared no effort to shout at the pedestrians who came and went. There are red lanterns in the stalls, auspicious Spring Festival couplets, steaming snacks from the north and south, and mouth-watering Lafeng beef and mutton. Pedestrians were beaming with joy on their faces, as if they didn't care about the cold, looking east and west, and some were haggling with shrewd merchants for a penny.
In nine years, the wounds of the war have long been healed. The people put away their grief and have already started a new life.
After the chaos, there must be a law of prosperity, which has been fully reflected in the new Tang Empire. Qin Tian completed the great cause of unification, and the first thing he did was to grant amnesty to the world, and did a lot of work in reducing taxes, opening up wasteland, opening trade, and promoting trade between various ethnic groups and regions, and the results were also very gratifying.
The impression of Qin Tian on the part of the common people who gradually lived a good life changed, and many people in the Qi and Xia kingdoms changed the title of the new emperor from "thief of the country" to "emperor of the rejuvenation of the country", and the improvement of their lives also made them soon forget the identity of "slaves of the dead country".
With the change of people's consciousness, people who have broken the boundaries of their home and country are no longer satisfied with their homeland, but have taken the steps of doing business towards a broader world. As a political and economic center, Bianjing City became a paradise for merchants.
The New Year is approaching, and Bianjing City is at its most lively.
Whether it is the people of the Western Regions who are carrying a large number of goods to barter in order to survive the harsh winter, or the merchants of Qi who want to make a lot of money during the Spring Festival, they will all flock to Bianjing at this time. As the only way for the West to enter the city, Xixuanmen has become a place for merchants to compete.
"Sugar gourd! Delicious sugar gourd! Sugar-"
The bearded man who sold sugar gourds was obviously unwilling to be robbed of the limelight by other vendors, and tore his throat and shouted loudly. But roaring and roaring, he was like a rooster choked by the throat, and his loud voice was stopped.
He saw a woman in white, walking towards him.
The girl looked to be fourteen or fifteen years old, with black hair scattered behind her back like a waterfall, and her skin was as fair and delicate as milk. Under the long eyelashes, a pair of smart eyes are like the best black gems, with the power to shock people's hearts. The tall nose and cherry red lips make her look pure as an angel.
God testifies that the boss of the sugar gourd has lived for more than 40 years, and he has never seen such a beautiful and innocent girl. He had no doubt that in a few years, she would definitely grow into a generation of peerless stunners, just like Liu Qinge and Lan Haitang and Lan Fuzi - although he had never seen these two women.
What shocked him even more was that the woman slowly walked to her stall, and she actually paused, her eyes seemed to be nostalgic, and she stopped on the big red sugar gourd in a daze.
For a time, the gourd stall became the focus of attention of everyone around.
Both men and women were impressed by the girl's look. The son admired her, and the girl was implied with envy, but I don't know if it was the chill that was emitted from her body that rejected people thousands of miles away, and no one dared to come forward to talk to her.
The owner of the gourd stall swallowed his saliva, finally mustered up his courage, and said with a smile: "Girl, let's have a string of sweet and sour sugar gourds?" ”
The girl came back to her senses, and her spring-like jade fingers pulled the wheat-yellow bamboo skewer from the straw stalk, and sent the hawthorn wrapped in syrup into the cherry lips.
Chewing on the rock sugar gourd, the girl turned around and left, without any intention of paying for it from beginning to end. And the owner of the gourd stall still laughed vigorously, not realizing that he had lost two steamed buns in vain. The people of Bianjing, who have always been full of righteous indignation, did not say anything to remind them this time, as if they all felt that this was a normal thing.
Such a fairy girl, if you talk to her about money, it is simply the greatest blasphemy against beauty!
The girl walks through the winter snow, such a picture is extremely beautiful, I don't know how many young people's hearts have been captured. Many people regretfully think that it would be great if they could become the sugar gourd......
But as soon as she took two steps out, the girl paused, turned her head to the owner of the gourd stall and asked, "By the way, how to go to Feixue Yuelan Pavilion?" ”
As soon as he heard this name, the faces of the people around him changed slightly.
Since nine years ago, Liu Tingge went to Qi to challenge the world-famous Feng Zhiyao, and ascended to the throne of "No. 1 in the world", and the status of Feixue Yue Lan Pavilion has also risen with the tide, becoming the pride of the entire Tang Dynasty.
As a "dancing forest holy land", it can no longer be contaminated with the smell of copper. Emperor Qin Tian personally ordered the expansion and renovation of the Feixue Yue Lan Pavilion, and its area was more than five times the original size. Not only that, but the pavilion is now open to the public, and those who enjoy the dances in the hall do not take a penny.
The problem is that people with money and status have tempers. How does such a rule reflect their specialness?
In order to highlight their status, nobles often give a large amount of "respect money" when they come to express their inner "reverence". Over time, this has also become a unique custom of Feixue Yue Lan Pavilion.
Therefore, when the girl in white in front of them asked this question, everyone knew that she was afraid that most of her was a foreigner, and she just wanted to see the style of "the best in the world".
"Little sister, do you want to meet everyone Liu?"
"Everyone Liu is in a super position now, but it's not easy to see."
"Yes, now Bianjing is freezing and overcrowded, and the inn is already full. My Zhu Youcai has a spare room in his house, if the girl doesn't mind, she might as well take a look. ”
Everyone persuaded this innocent little girl one after another.
The girl frowned slightly, and couldn't help but be secretly curious in her heart: Liu, everyone? Who's that?
At this moment, everyone only heard the sound of a gong and involuntarily looked towards the east.
A few juggling boys pedal on a unicycle and walked on the rooftop. They shook their hands from both sides of the street, and a bright red banner came into view.
"The new store in Genting Tower is open, and the New Year gifts are non-stop!"
As the banner gradually moved westward, a large group of people and horses beat gongs and drums and walked slowly. In the middle of the procession, a young man with a sturdy figure and a shrewd face stood on the carriage, wearing a well-cut brocade robe, looking extremely sassy.
Seeing everyone's eyes on him, the young man smiled slightly and said loudly: "Fathers and fellow villagers are polite!" In the lower Genting top building, the east lord Cheng Caihe. Today's snow is falling, and it is also a big day for the opening of the 39th branch of Genting Tower. Cheng knows that Genting Tower has been able to get to where it is today step by step, relying on your support. Therefore, in order to thank the majority of new and old friends, all goods in the new store of Genting Building today will be 10% off! More importantly, today is the day of the 'Four Shows' dance appreciation of Feixue Yuelan Pavilion, and Cheng Moucai has booked a hundred seats. Anyone who purchases more than two taels of silver at the new store in Genting Tower can get a free admission ticket! ”
This handsome, dashing and heroic young man is none other than Cheng Caihe.
Years of experience have not only worn away his childishness, but also turned his fat into fine meat. If he hadn't reported his home, I'm afraid many people wouldn't have been able to connect him with the "Cheng Nerd" back then.
As soon as they heard this, the people on the street were all moved. It's not for the discount, it's for the hard-to-find tickets.
Although the door of Feixue Yue Lan Pavilion is wide open, the rich man who can reach the officials and nobles or the rich man with a lot of money finally has an advantage that ordinary people can't match, if you want to enter the table to see the demeanor of the fairies, you can't do it without some means, and most people only look at the door and sigh.
Seeing that everyone's enthusiasm was aroused, Cheng Caihe was quite proud in his heart, and threw out the last surprise: "Everyone knows that now among the three masters of Feixue Yuelan Pavilion - Feng Zhilan, Feng Zhiyao and Liu Qinge, two of them are confidants of Tang Sage. As far as Cheng knows, Tang Shengren will also go to Feixue Yuelan Pavilion today! ”
Don Sage!
If the people were just excited before, then after hearing these three words, that excitement was completely transformed into fanaticism.
Because he is Tang An, he is the Tang Dynasty, and he is the only Tang saint in the world!
The people understand the truth that the hands are fast and the hands are slow, and the people understand it more than anyone else. As soon as he finished digesting the information in Cheng Caihe's words, the people closest immediately rushed towards the direction of Feixue Yue Lan Pavilion, and their movements and agility were comparable to those of a dance forest master.
"Take your time, don't rush, safety first!"
Cheng Caihe told everyone "full of sincerity", like a very considerate boss, and his ridiculously crooked eyes revealed his true mood. It was as if it was no longer people running in front of me, but yellow and clear gold.
When the huge crowd of people rushed by, Cheng Caihe sighed in his heart. He knew that his incitement was only because of one person.
Tang An.
Unexpectedly, in just a few years, this stinky boy is like a god in the sky, making the whole world crazy. But...... In terms of appearance, he was not much different from him back then, why wasn't he Cheng Caihe?
Evil door, too evil door!
Cheng Caihe sighed regretfully, and just wanted to get into the carriage to warm up, when he suddenly saw a white dress floating in front of him.
Then, he froze.
It was a woman in white who was holding a string of rock sugar gourds in her hand. Such a strange combination did not affect her beauty, but added a bit of cuteness to her.
She is like a pure little white flower in the surging crowd, making people unable to take their eyes off it after just looking at it. Rao is Cheng Caihe is used to seeing beautiful women, and when he sees this beautiful girl like a hibiscus out of the water, he still can't help but admire: What a pure cute girl!
He coughed lightly, put on a kind and handsome appearance, and said softly: "I don't know what Cheng can do for the girl?" ”
The girl in white said, "Do you know where Feixue Yue Lan Pavilion is?" ”
Cheng Caihe was stunned and said, "I know, of course I know!" The boss of Feixue Yue Lan Pavilion is my good brother's godmother-in-law, the world's first dancing Ji Liu and I are very familiar with each other, Spring Butterfly, Summer Rain, Autumn Leaves, and Winter Snow are three of my godsisters, and Deacon Dong is like my long-lost sister. Girl, you found someone in my Cheng Cheng, but you really found the right person. ”
"That's good." The girl in white nodded slightly, her voice was as cold as ice, and her calm face did not cause any waves because of the other party's wanton teasing, which disappointed Cheng Caihe.
Having received the answer she wanted, the girl unceremoniously got up lightly, and in the blink of an eye she got into the carriage with the burning stove, as if she had only done a trivial thing.
Immediately, a soft tone came from inside: "Take me to Feixue Yue Lan Pavilion." ”
Cheng Caihe was stunned, he didn't expect this little girl to look cold, but she was so familiar. Tang An once said that Lori has three good: the voice is light and the body is soft and easy to push down, and it is really not covered. Hmph, since the little sheep has thrown himself into the net, it's no wonder that the big bad wolf is ruthless!
Cheng Caihe, who had a dirty idea, got into the carriage with a smile and asked earnestly: "It is Cheng's blessing to be able to show the way for the girl - I don't know what the girl is called?" ”
The girl in white looked ahead and said, "My name is Mu Junli." ”
"Accept the grace of the monarch at night, and do not part after the joy - good name, good name!" Cheng Caihe shook his head and showed off his self-taught lewdness. Swinging literary brilliance, incomparably intoxicated. After swaying, he suddenly opened his eyes and asked, "By the way, I haven't asked the girl what she is going to do in Feixue Yue Lan Pavilion?" ”
With a hint of nostalgia on her face, Mu Junli said, "I'm going to find my master." ”
Cheng Caihe had already lost his mind by the girl's beauty, and he didn't think about how her master could be in Feixue Yuelan Pavilion, but tried her best to pull this pure little angel into the mortal world, and find a warm inn with her to make the bed board make a pleasant "squeak" sound.
"The teacher's kindness is more important than Mount Tai, I didn't expect the girl to be such a respectful person, just like me. The girl can rest assured, even if there is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front of her, even if Cheng fights for his life, he will definitely send the girl on time! ”
Looking at the other party's face full of a sense of justice, Mu Junli was a little confused. It seems that I can't figure it out, what does it have to do with "Sword Mountain and Sea of Fire" and "Fighting for My Life" along the flat road to Feixue Yue Lan Pavilion.
The head is full of beautiful women on the side. With a moving posture of panting, Cheng Cai and his heart were as uncomfortable as being caught by a monkey, but his face was piled up with a serious look of a great responsibility from heaven, and he shouted at the coachman arrogantly: "Ah Si, go to the Flying Snow Inn!" Uh-no--Fly, Snow, Yue, Lan, Pavilion! ”
