"Wu Shi Mingyi, it's from the Zhao family, right?" I pulled away the shirtless hand that was pinching my chin.

Wuxian leaned against the wall and said lightly: "Mingyi is my brother's old friend, and he was originally a defender." Five years ago, when he was studying witchcraft with Tai Shimo in Xinjiang, he had been living in our mansion. Today, although his whereabouts are uncertain, he has always been in contact with his brother. ”

"You mean, Ming Yi is Tai Shimo's disciple?" I didn't expect this answer.

"Sort of."

"What kind of person is this Tai Shimo?"

"God-like people." The sun finally set on the top of the mountain, and he looked at the dark purple sunset that was getting thinner and thinner, and smiled.

"God?"

"Twenty-eight years ago, my father saw a naked child dancing together in his dream, and the next day there was a solar eclipse. The father asked Yu Taishi about these two things, and Taishi replied, "In the sixth year and this month, Wu Qi entered Yinghu, and finally Fu Ke." Entering the Ying, it must be Gengchen, and the sun and moon are at the end of Chen. On the day of Gengwu, there is a day at the beginning of the day. Fire beats gold, so Ferck. Tai Shimo used the method of the five elements to restrain each other, predicting that the small barbarian state of Wu in the south would march into the great Chu state, and eventually attack the capital of Chu State. At that time, the state of Chu was strong and the state of Wu was weak, and everyone in the world said that Taishi Mo was vain, but ......"

But he was right. Wu Zixu attacked Chu in five battles and won five victories, not only entered the Chu capital Ying, but also dug up the tomb of the king of Chu and whipped his corpse. ”

"Well, so far, Tai Shimo has become famous among the princes of the world for asking divination. Whenever there is a big event, the father has to ask Yu Taishi. ”

"When I entered the mansion just now, I heard that the prince said that he wanted to send me to the Taishi Mansion, and this Taishi Moke also accepts female disciples?"

"It's not bedtime yet, why are you dreaming!" Wuxian sat up straight and said seriously, "Tai Shimo only accepts men and not women, and the last time he accepted Ming Yi as an apprentice was many years ago. Today, there are only two male disciples under him, both of whom are unborn talents. My brother and I discussed sending you to him, just to ask for the name of a shrine maiden for you. Otherwise, with your appearance and Xun Ji's belly, someone will come to the door to ask for you in less than ten days. When the time comes, it will be a trouble to give or not to give, and to give you to anyone. ”

Witch...... Yes, a woman is a thing to be sent back and forth after all. Even if I don't belong to their Zhao family, I am afraid that I will not have the right to say no at that time.

"Ah Shi, you have to understand one thing. In the eyes of the world, a woman like you is the same as the night pearl and the unicorn horn, if there is no master, you will be snatched by gangsters, and there will be no end. If you get it by ordinary scholars, you will be given as a gift to the superior, and then you will keep changing the owner until you are old and decrepit one day, and your face is no longer good. So, the best I can think of right now is to find you a backer, a backer that no one would dare to ask him for. He is not a prince, not a royal family, only a god. ”

Zhao Wuxian's words, I understand. Therefore, although my heart is full of helplessness, I am also touched that someone can bother to plan for me like this.

"I understand, thank you."

"Don't be in a hurry to thank me first, Tai Shimo has a cold and arrogant temperament, seeing that you have a miserable appearance in this life, maybe you don't even want to accept you as a witch. When the time comes, I can only give you your disfigurement to myself as a little maid. ”

"That's a peace of mind." I chuckled and inadvertently caught a glimpse of Zhao Wuxian's hand on the side of my leg. His fingers were distinct, slender and delicate, but at the moment they were contaminated with wind and dust, and they were slightly gray. Looking up, he was still wearing the robe he used to walk on, and his sideburns were a little messy.

"By the way, why haven't you gone back to rest after more than half a month on the road, but there is something wrong with me?"

"You only now remember to ask me?" He patted the dust on the hem of his clothes and stood up, "I'm afraid that you will feel strange and scared when you first come here alone, so I want to come over and talk to you." Now, now that you're about to drive me away, it's okay to think about it. Saying that, he lowered his head and took out a Tao Xun from his arms and threw it into my arms, "On the way, I heard Mingyi say that you like to blow Xun, so I went back to the yard and got one, you can keep it and play, I'm leaving!" ”

"Thank you." I pinched Tao Xun, who still had his body temperature, and my eyes suddenly became hot. Thousands of miles to the country, in this strange place, there is still a person who knows my confusion, my happiness, my fear, my helplessness, and even my own uncertain feelings, but he knows it so clearly.

On the first night in Zhao's Mansion, I slept fairly soundly.

Early in the morning of the second day, a maidservant brought me a set of women's short silk skirts. The yellow short coat, with a green embroidered grass skirt, and a colorful hairband, dressed me up like a delicate spring flower, which made me cry and laugh.

When I was still in the Qin State, I heard that Zhao Ying, the secretary of the Jin State, had built a private city for himself in the northeast of Xinjiang City. However, this city was destroyed by the Fan clan and the Zhongxing clan in the Liuqing Rebellion fifteen years ago, and it is still under repair.

After Zhao Ying's counterattack on Erqing was victorious, the Marquis of Jin gave him another mansion in Xinjiangcheng, which is where I now live. Although this mansion was built temporarily, it is still so big that I am dumbfounded, not to mention the Ming Hall with exquisite carvings on the high platform, the scattered bedrooms, and the garden alone is half the size of the Wu Mansion.

Under the leadership of the servant, I walked around for half a day before I arrived at the courtyard of the prince of the world. Beru was thrilled to see me, and hurriedly dragged me to his backyard.

The hundred-step-square yard is full of birds and animals, large and small, because there are people cleaning it every day, but it is not as noisy and smelly as Wuxian said. I couldn't help but laugh as I passed by the cages of tigers and guinea pigs.

"Don't laugh, I'll let the pigs go tomorrow." Beru must have heard my remarks about tigers and guinea pigs in the car that day, so when he saw me laughing now, he couldn't help but look embarrassed.

"What do you do with the guinea pigs? You should let this tiger go, and feed it with meat every day, wasting both your money and its hunting skills. "The more uncomfortable Beru is, the more I want to tease him, "Or does the prince think that raising pigs has wronged your identity, and raising tigers can show your majesty?" ”

"You say I raise pigs...... I, I'm not a butcher, you ......" Beru was short of words for a while, and his face turned red.

"The majesty and benevolence of the son of the world do not need to be shown by these beasts. Raising pigs and tigers is not as good as raising soldiers. If you treat the talented with the kindness of the son, then they will naturally be loyal to you. Although you don't care about the position you were born into, how do you know that others don't covet it? Raise more strategists, talents, wrestlers, and warriors, and when the time comes, you don't want to fight with others, and you have to save your life, right? ”

"Pediatric ......"

"I'm afraid that the brother of the prince can't count it on ten fingers, I don't believe that everyone is like your Hongyun'er, blindly just thinking about standing behind you, supporting you, and supporting you. Even if they all have a deep brotherly relationship with you, but what about outside the Zhao Mansion? Zhi, Wei, and Han, which one is easy to deal with? You don't want the sect master of the Zhao clan to be just a guinea pig to be slaughtered in the future! As I finished speaking in one breath, Bru's face was blue for a while and purple for a while, and he didn't make a sound for a while.

I knocked on the cage next to the long-tailed pheasant and said softly, "Since I cherish them, let them go!" None of the things in the world like to live in a cage, and life and death are up to them! ”

"Hey, I finally understood Hongyun'er's words today." Boru lost his mind for a moment, and after waking up, he said, "I suddenly feel that it is a pity to send you to Taishi to be a witch, why don't you stay by my side?" ”

When I heard this, I hurriedly shook my head: "The kindness of the son of the world, Ah Shixin understands it." You'd better send me away! How can a scheming child like me stay by his side, the son of the world must remember Mingyi's advice! ”

"That's right, even if I keep you, I won't be able to cure you." Beru sighed, "Taishi, I have already sent someone to deliver a prayer note this morning, and I will take you there tomorrow." After midday today, let Hongyun'er go out with you first! There is still a lot to do in Xinjiang. After speaking, he looked me up and down again, shook his head, and said, "Although this kind of outfit is beautiful, it looks frivolous." Xun Ji has always been good at dressing, why did she choose such a set of clothes for you? You wait here, I'll find you some good ones. ”

Bolu sighed twice and turned his head and left, I secretly said in my heart, this Zhao Bolu is really a simple-minded person, Xun Ji naturally knew that this dress was frivolous, so he deliberately sent it to me to wear. Hey, it's not easy to be a wife, in addition to taking care of the big and small matters at home, you also have to be wary of your husband coming back with some flowers and grass.

Boru quickly walked out of the room with a large pile of clothes: "You go back and try these sets, Taishi likes plain and red, and we can't be kicked out tomorrow because of a set of clothes." ”

"Xie Shizi!" I took my clothes and bowed in thanks.

"At this moment, Hongyun'er must be waiting in your yard, you can go quickly!"

"No!" I bowed and withdrew, and as I walked outside the courtyard gate, I heard Beru shouting to the servants, "Move these cages out quickly, and find a place to put them all." Open it separately, don't open the cage and put the tiger and the guinea pig in one place! ”
