Chapter 126: King Wu's Intentions
"Jiutian Niangniang is our Jinzhou protector god, he has repeatedly blessed the people of Jinzhou, so the people of Jinzhou will hold a grand Christmas festival on February 15 every year, one is to thank the kindness of the nine days of Niangniang, and then it is also to pray for the nine days of Niangniang to bless Jinzhou with smooth wind and rain, the people can live and work in peace and contentment, every year in the first half month of the festival, there will be the oldest and most prestigious Yang Taigong in Jinzhou to preside over the Nine Heavens Niangniang selection meeting, The conference will select a candidate with good character and appearance from among the many girls who have not left the cabinet, and let her dress up as a nine-day lady on February 15 to patrol the city and bring peace to the people of Jinzhou, and the people will bow down and welcome the fairy spirit. The scene of the ceremony is often unusually prosperous and lively, not only the people of Jinzhou City, but even many people from other places as long as they believe in the Nine Heavens Niangniang, they will trek through mountains and rivers to come to the pilgrimage, and after the ceremony, the girl dressed as the Nine Heavens Niangniang will also take off the fairy clothes, put on a plain skirt, and thank the celebrities from all walks of life with delicious food, of course, it is not so easy to eat this food, you must pay enough incense money. ”
Speaking of this, Yao Doudou touched his chin, thinking that this Yang Taigong was really scheming, and with the help of the Nine Days of Christmas, he not only took care of the feelings of the people, but also allowed himself to make a lot of money. From this point of view, her decision of a thousand taels of food is just a drop in the bucket.
"That's the case, the girl who plays the Nine Heavens Niangniang must be all in the country, or is she beautiful."
Yao Doudou asked about this, and Xiaodao smiled again.
"Not necessarily, playing the role of a fairy must first be blessed, too thin and too tall is obviously not good, of course, short and fat is not good, like Xi Niangzi, it is more appropriate."
Speaking of this, Yao Doudou patted him on the shoulder again.
"Look at you kid, if you don't practice well, just learn some oily tones."
As soon as Yao Doudou's words fell, bursts of firecrackers sounded outside the temple, thinking that Jiutian Niangniang's Luan was about to leave the temple.
Yao Doudou actually wanted to go out to see the demeanor of Jiutian Niangniang around the city, but because he had to take care of the kitchen, he couldn't leave his post without permission, so he couldn't help the curiosity in his heart.
"Boss Xi, Xiaodao looks at your interest in the Nine Days Girl Christmas Break, why don't you go out and have a look?"
The vegetable picking trail said tentatively to Yao Doudou, and Yao Doudou pinched his fingers.
"If you really want to see it, go see it, anyway, the practice of fasting is the same every year, and you can't make a flower if you keep it here, you must know that this kind of event is not seen every day."
After picking vegetables, Yao Doudou coughed twice.
"Don't talk, pick your vegetables well, I'll go out to a thatched house and come back soon."
After Yao Doudou finished speaking, he hurriedly left the back kitchen.
In fact, as the vegetable picking trail said, the Christmas Festival is really unprecedentedly warm, although the Nine Heavens Xuannu has not yet gone out on patrol, but the outside of the Xuannu Temple has been surrounded by water, Yao Doudou lay on the wall and looked at it twice, then jumped down, just when she turned around and was about to go back to the back kitchen, a middle-aged Taoist priest in a green shirt blocked her way.
"Immeasurable Tianzun, presumably this girl is Xi Niangzi, and the poor Dao is Yuan Zhen, the host of the Xuannu Temple."
After Daoist Yuan Zhen finished speaking, he gave Yao Doudou another salute, and Yao Doudou also quickly nodded in return.
"Yuan Zhendao, I'm just coming out to take a look......"
Yao Doudou thought that Allah Yuan had come to check the post, but in fact he had something to ask for.
"Xi Niangzi, Poor Dao has a reluctant request, and I hope you can agree to Poor Dao."
After Yuan Zhen finished speaking, Yao Doudou said Nani.
It turned out that the girl who played the Nine Heavens Xuannu was infected with a cold last night, and although her condition was not serious, she kept coughing, which would definitely affect the effect of the city patrol ceremony, so Yuan Zhendao had no choice but to let Yao Doudou temporarily top the bag.
"I'm afraid it's not good, I have no experience in this matter......"
Before Yao Doudou finished speaking, Yuan Zhen made a deep bow to Yao Doudou again.
"Xi Niangzi, please, now there is only one woman in this Xuannu view, and your appearance and body shape are indeed suitable for playing the Nine Heavens Xuannu, if you don't play, this city patrol ceremony may be messed up, and then the face of the Xuannu view is small, so it will have a bad impact on the people of Jinzhou, which is our sin."
Yao Doudou saw that Yuan Zhendao's words were sincere and sincere, and he agreed to his request without holding back.
Then Yuan Daochang took Yao Doudou to the west chamber of the temple, and the maids inside were also anxiously waiting for the arrival of the dressing candidates.
The maid put on Yao Doudou's fairy clothes of the Nine Heavens Xuannu, and then dressed her up carefully, Yao Doudou looked in the mirror, and felt that the person inside was not himself at all, and the makeup was painted like a clay sculpture, there was no beauty at all.
"Okay, okay, let's get out quickly, if the auspicious time is delayed, it won't be good."
Yuan Zhendao waved the floating dust and urged outside, but Yao Doudou sat motionless on the stool.
"What's the matter, Xi Niangzi, is there something wrong with this makeup?"
The green-clothed maid asked curiously, and Yao Doudou smiled slightly.
"Please forgive Xinyue for disagreeing with this makeup you painted."
Yao Doudou wiped the rouge and gouache off his face as he spoke, and the two maids were also shocked, thinking that it was all at this juncture, what kind of demon are you going to be, Miss.
"Go to the kitchen and get me some carbon powder? Lard to come. ”
Yao Doudou said very seriously to the green-clothed maid, and the green-clothed maid stood motionless.
Yao Doudou walked to the basin of clear water and washed her whole face cleanly, while the maid in red couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to go to the kitchen to get something.
"Don't go, that's how we painted the Xuannu last year, and I don't know where this girl came from, why listen to her."
Regarding the anger of the green-clothed maid, Yao Doudou slowly raised his head.
"Well, you have what it takes for you to pretend."
After Yao Doudou finished speaking, the green-clothed maid clenched her fingers in anger.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this auspicious time is almost over, can you stop rubbing in it."
Yuan Daochang shouted anxiously outside with a whisk, and the green-clothed maid ran out of the wing room with an inflated air.
"If she leaves, you can also go, if you want me to pretend to be the Nine Heavens Xuannu, then you have to listen to me."
The red maid pondered for a moment after listening to Yao Doudou's words.
Without waiting for Yao Doudou to ask again, the red maid nodded slightly.
When the maid in red prepared everything, Yao Doudou began her own makeup art, she looked at herself in the mirror, and began to imagine what kind of Xi Xinyue is the most beautiful and fairies.
