Chapter 4 Nalan Butterfly Clothes
Tianwu, Shangjing.
There is no question of the imaginary flow of people, on the wide street, although there are many people on every street, but there is no parents to say, people are like an ocean, the sound is like a boil.
Xiao Wendao remembered two things that his mother had explained, the first was to go to Shangjing Qinglou, find an old man named Yi Mubai, repay the grace of saving his life, and then return the little donkey to him.
Shangjing, Qinglou. It's so eye-catching. On the roof of the building, which towers into the sky, there is a large plaque with black and white characters, which reads the word Qinglou.
I don't know if it's too big or too wide. I always feel that there is a large space left in front of the word Qinglou, and I should be able to write a word, but it is left blank on the plaque, and it is abrupt and does not look like the first floor of Shangjing.
In front of the door of the green building, there are 100 layers of stone steps made of peony stone, and the patterns on the black and white peony stone are engraved on the high staircase, and thousands of flowers are blooming, which is pleasing to the eye.
Xiao Wendao climbed the hundred-story peony stone steps and slapped the vermilion gate with his hand. I didn't see anyone open the door for a long time, so I stuffed a letter written by my father and mother into the door.
Then, the black donkey was tied to the stone pillar next to the green building.
The second thing is to go to the Yuhuafang of the Twelve Inner Houses in Shangjing, find Nalan General's Mansion, and find a father's old friend, Nalan Jude.
This Nalan General's Mansion is not far from the Qinglou. It's only half a mile away.
Next to the gate of the Nalan General's Mansion, there are four words engraved "Loyal Soul Pillar Country".
Xiao asked and said to the guard at the door, "General, I am looking for Mr. Narangude, and I hope to report it." ”
The guard looked at the young man in the black robe, although his face was childish, his face was delicate. It didn't look like a person who dared to mess around in the General's Mansion, so he said: "The three generals of Nalan Mansion went to Huatai Mountain to watch the ceremony." The famous family in this capital, the prince and the general. Most of them went, the three generals, but they weren't in the house. ”
Xiao asked and continued: "Then I don't know, Old Lady Xia is not in the mansion. ”
When the guard heard him talk about Old Madam Xia, he said, "This Old Madam Xia is not something we can do. If you have any tokens or letters, it will be much easier. ”
Xiao Wenwen handed over the letter he had prepared and a brocade handkerchief embroidered with a hundred flowers.
After waiting for about an hour, someone finally came out to report: "Old Mrs. Xia, she is in poor health." Mrs. Hou, the wife of General Nalan of Nalan Mansion, is waiting in the back house. ”
This Mrs. Hou has a bright and young face, beautiful and dignified. A pair of Danfeng eyes looked at Xiao Wendao's face. It seems that Xiao Qian's face has a flower.
Xiao asked a little embarrassed at this time, but his body was still standing straight, and his face was not sad or joyful, and after giving a salute, he quietly waited for the question.
Mrs. Hou said: "It is indeed a child taught by Qishan and Yangrou, who is heroic and extraordinary, and there is even more stubbornness in Qishan's eyebrows and eyes. Hurry up and sit down, this Nalan Mansion is also your home. Back then, your grandfather, King Xiao Yue, and the ancestors of the Nalan family had a life-and-death friendship, and there were also the three pillars of the protector of Tianwu who were the first god general of the Tianwu Kingdom. Old things, don't talk about it, your parents have been doing well lately, haven't they been exiled to the far north? ”
Xiao asked and could be regarded as hearing it, this Nalan Mansion was afraid that his arrival would not be welcome, and he was just fulfilling his parents' wishes, and arched his hand: "Everything is fine with my parents and parents, and Mrs. Lao is worried." ”
Mrs. Hou looked at Xiao and asked, and she was not close to each other, and she didn't want to say more, so she asked, "I don't know if you came back to Shangjing this time, but do you have anything important to do?" ”
When Mrs. Hou said this, she also knew in her heart that she couldn't let him stay in Shangjing. Just now, she also saw the letter, the one addressed to Naranjud.
When Xiao Qishan and Nalan Jude were young, they married Jin Lan under the witness of their two families. At that time, there was a saying among the families that Brother Jinlan was a joint in-law. Qishan wrote this letter just to give his children a place to live. In Shangjing, there is the care of the Nalan family, but there is no need to worry about the life of the children of the Xiao family, but the entire Nalan family can match Xiao Wendao, only the Nalan cicada clothes with the "Emperor Phoenix bloodline" who is far away in Xiling Efeng Cultivation. Cultivators all know the importance of cultivating talent, and the bloodline of "Emperor Phoenix" is only matched by the ancient bloodline of Shen Yu, the young palace master of "Xuanji Palace", one of the Nine Mountains Immortal Mountain, and he is only sixteen years old, and he is already "the top of the list". The cultivation of the innate peak, looking at the Three Realms, even the pride of the sky, Nalan Cicada, is also behind the people.
Xiao asked and didn't know, in just a moment, this dignified Mrs. Hou thought so much.
"I came to Shangjing to cultivate, just because I was far away in the far north and there was no master who could teach me the Tao, so my father asked me to go back to Shangjing to seek Taoism. Xiao asked, word by word, looking at Mrs. Hou neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"Well, your father has considered it thoroughly, Shangjing's Daoist Academy is all authentic Dao Fa, if you can really cultivate the Great Dao, it will not be in vain for your father's hard work, however, the last two months are the time for the competition between the two clans, and it is not yet the time for the Three Great Dao Academy to recruit students, so there is no need to rush for a while, when the competition is over, I will let people arrange it, and your residence can be arranged properly." Mrs. Hou said, looking at Xiao with a pair of wonderful eyes and asked.
Xiao asked and replied: "The residence has been arranged, if General Nalan Gude comes back, I also hope to go to the snow house of the old mansion of Hanmen to make an announcement." ”
Xiao asked Shi Li, and Shi Shiran walked out of Nalan General's Mansion. When he came out, he saluted the guard at the door again.
At this time, Mrs. Hou said to the maid Xiaolan beside her: "Let Jingyu come here to see me." ”
Nalan Jingyu is the first child of Mrs. Hou and the eldest son in Nalan Mansion. At the age of twenty-five or sixteen, the women in Nalan Mansion seem to be overpowering men.
Nalan Jingyu saw Mrs. Hou hurriedly bowed down and shouted to her mother. With a chubby figure and a round face, he looks like a rich man.
Mrs. Hou said to him, "Hurry up." Jing Yu, I heard that you have taken another concubine. ”
A trace of doubt passed through Nalan Jingyu's heart, I never cared about my concubine, why did I ask today, but he didn't dare to hesitate to answer: "Yes, it's a girl from Baihualou, named Iris." Now it's still in Baihualou, and I'll only get started tomorrow. ”
Mrs. Hou said, "Take me to see her." ”
Nalan Jingyu was shocked, how could her mother go to Fengyue Flower Building with such interest.
But although he had doubts in his heart, he didn't dare to refuse, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to go to Chunxue Building to clear the field.
Baihualou is in the outer square of the thirty-six squares, which are all poor people's homes, although they are all poor people's homes, but the outer square is much more popular than the inner square.
Baihualou is just one of the thousands of flower buildings in Shangjing, and it is also regarded as a middle and upper flower building in Shangjing. * The girl is also proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and there is an endless stream of literati.
Nalan Jingyu got this iris girl, and she came to this Spring Snow Building, but it was only half a year. was given a concubine by Nalan Jingyu.
Mrs. Hou looked at the little girl beside her who was in her prime, with ice muscles and cheeks, and she really felt pleasing to the eye, she was really a beautiful embryo. In a few years, she will definitely be a charming beauty.
Mrs. Hou said to the little girl: "From now on, you will call me a mother." ”
When Nalan Jingyu heard this, her heart was about to jump out with excitement. This is the first time that my mother has expressed her heart to me as a concubine.
The iris girl hurriedly knelt down and bowed. can enter the Nalan General's Mansion, although it is said that the husband is unsatisfactory, but Mrs. Nalan personally came to the flower building where the man was looking for flowers and asking Liu Xun to have fun to see her, what else could she be dissatisfied with.
Mrs. Hou continued: "I asked you to call me mother, not that you want to marry Jing Yu, but that I am my mother, your current name is "Nalan Dieyi", and Nalan Chanyi is a cousin. Today, I will marry you to a family, which is the Xiao family, the family friend of the Nalan family, although the Xiao family is not prosperous, but after all, it is the family friend of my Nalan family. Moreover, you can't go to Nalan Mansion without my permission in the future, do you understand? ”
Nalan Jingyu panicked when she heard this, and hurriedly shouted: "Mother." ”
Who knew that before he finished speaking, he was glared back by Mrs. Hou's fierce eyes.
spent 10,000 taels of silver, and the young man who ransomed became someone else's daughter-in-law.
Mrs. Hou finally said to Nalan Jingyu: "Go and prepare a box of silver, one hundred taels of gold, one hundred brocades, and ten pearls." This is the dowry of the Nalan family, and you are not allowed to disturb them from now on, if you let me know, the family law will serve. ”
Nalan Jingyu was only dead at this time.
Mrs. Hou knows that there are only two things in this world that can make people lose their lives, one is wealth and the other is sex. The things that can borrow a knife to kill people are also these two kinds of wealth and sex.
Now, Xiao asked, both.
The iris girl in the former Baihualou has now become the young lady of Nalan General's Mansion, or she has become a sister with the "Nalan Cicada Yi" of a generation of proud women.
And now she has become the wife of a man she has never met.
The old mansion of Hanmen is the birthplace of the "Hanmen" in the middle of the day. Whether it is Tianwu's army or the court, nine times out of ten they are from the cold gate, even the current queen Wang Zhuoer is also from the cold gate.
More than ten years ago, people from the poor family could still say that if there was no cold door, how could there be the current new emperor.
But now, things are not people. It has long been called a cold door. However, the old mansion of the cold door still stayed like this. But it's still a place where the poor live, peddlers and pawns, ordinary people.
Shangjing, one hundred and eight squares. Thirty-six in the inner square and seventy-two in the outer square.
The inner square is thirty-six, and it is also divided into inner, middle and outer squares.
Seventy-two outside the square, it is a big circle around Shangjing.
The old mansion of Hanmen was on the periphery of the seventy-two outer squares, and by the time Xiao Wendao found the Hanmen Snow House that his mother had said, it was already dark.
A red sedan chair stopped in front of the door of the snow house, and many people sat in front of the sedan chair, and next to it stood a well-armored soldier.
The soldier was still holding the black donkey in his hand, but the black donkey had also changed a lot, and the donkey still had huge golden stud earrings, and a larger golden bell hung around the donkey's neck, and the bell had a crisp sound.
The soldier looked at Xiao Dao and saluted and said loudly: "You are Xiao Dao Gongzi, Yi Shen will let you take his granddaughter-in-law to Qinglou early tomorrow morning, and this black donkey still has to be raised by you, it is not safe to live there in the god general." There's also a letter that God will let me give to you. ”
The soldier handed Xiao a letter with the words "Ask the Grandson to Kai".
The onlookers knew that this young man turned out to be the grandson of Wuzun Yi Mubai, the first god general of Tianwu.
Xiao asked and pointed to the sedan chair, and the soldier said, "Maybe this is your wife." ”
After the soldier finished speaking, he turned and left.
Xiao asked, opened the sedan curtain, and looked at it.
At this time, Nalan Dieyi vaguely saw a heroic face through the red hijab, and before she could take a closer look, she was hugged up.
Nalan Dieyi's heart at this time was like eating a mouthful of jujube nectar, and her sweet heart trembled.
Xiao asked, I don't want people to be like monkeys, gathered in the middle to watch the excitement. Simply, he quickly cut through the mess, picked up the person in the sedan chair, and walked in, which was originally a thatched house.
Xiao asked and carried Nalan Dieyi into the house, and said, "You stand first, I'll clean up." ”
Nalan Dieyi lifted the front curtain of the red hijab, looked at Xiao and asked, "Clean the house, clean the court." It's a woman's business, so I'll clean it up, husband. ”
Xiao asked and pondered for a moment and said, "It's okay, the two of them are always faster." ”
Nalan Dieyi said: "Then please husband, take off this hijab." ”
Xiao Wendao walked up to her, smelled the faint scent of orchids emanating from her body, and took off the red hijab with his hand.
At this time, Nalan Dieyi saw Xiao Wendao's appearance clearly, his handsome eyebrows and eyes were like sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and in his warm and elegant bookish atmosphere, he also revealed a bit of the heroic spirit of the battle on the battlefield, like a rebellious, like a majestic general in front of the army.
Obviously, Nalan Dieyi was misled by a few words from the soldiers outside the door.
He had seen the battlefield, but he had never been on the battlefield.
Xiao asked, but he didn't know the little girl's thoughts, "What's your name?" ”
Nalan Dieyi said happily: "My name is Nalan Dieyi, and I am cousins with Nalan Cicada. ”
Nalan Dieyi didn't know why she added the latter sentence, maybe she was afraid that he would look down on herself, maybe she wanted him to value herself because of Nalan Chanyi. Perhaps, there is also a trace of inferiority mixed with the emotions behind the pride.
Xiao asked, "Hmm" and said, "My name is Xiao asked." Let's tidy up the house first. ”
After the house was cleaned up, he said to Nalan Dieyi: "There are two rooms here, you sleep in the inner room, and I sleep in the outer room." ”
When Nalan Dieyi heard him say this, she could only say "um" and entered the back room, and soon the oil lamp was blown out in the back room.
It's not that Xiao doesn't understand the meaning of "husband and wife". If she really became her husband, would you still let her go to the demon clan?
Xiao asked, looking out the window at the last quarter moon. On the first night in Sang-kyung, I had insomnia.
So, where the moon shines, who can't sleep?
It's the parents and sisters who are far away in the Demon Snow Country because they miss Xiao Wendao.
It is the newlywed Yan'er who is happy because of Nalan Dieyi.
still wants to borrow a knife to kill Mrs. Hou, or Nalan Jingyu who is sad and grief-stricken.
Or, Xiao asked, who didn't know where to start tomorrow.
Perhaps, only the heart fell asleep. Evil can be extinguished.
