Chapter 41: Looking for the Jiuli Pot
Xinfang Building is particularly uniquely built, and it can be said to be unique on this small island.
There was an endless stream of people coming and going at the door. Ziyu looked up at the plaque at the door, and the three words of flowing water were shining.
Out of it came a woman, dressed in a violet skirt, wearing a red scarf and a golden hosta. Although he is over middle age, his posture is graceful and slender, and he is elegant and beautiful step by step.
The man saw two young women standing not far away, and walked over with a smile, "Why are the two girls standing outside the building and not going in?"
Yun Qiang stepped forward and replied, "My name is Ah Yan." This is my sister Ah Yu. We came here from the desert on earth. I heard that Xinfanglou has a good reputation, and I came to take refuge. It's just that I am not familiar with life, and I am still a little hesitant. ”
"I don't know what to call you?" Ziyu asked.
The woman covered her mouth and smiled, "My name is Xiao Mingniang, and I am the head of Xinfang Building. Xinfang Building, also known as the Marriage Building, is designed for people to match and promote good marriage. You two don't have to see each other, just call me Mingniang. ”
"It's no secret that the great elder of my island is holding a marriage selection ceremony here recently, and the two girls are beautiful and beautiful, and they are at the age of marriage, so they can go in and have a try. If it doesn't work, Ming Niang can also find a good husband for you. ”
Yun Qiang was frightened by Xiao Mingniang's marriage theory, and he was speechless for a while.
Xiao Mingniang also seemed to sense a trace of embarrassment, she took Yun Qiang's hand, "Ah Yu, Ah Yu, I don't have any malice. It's just that the two of you have come from afar, and you are alone. You must know that there are very few women on the island, and if there is no husband's family, it will be a little dangerous. That's why I wanted to help. ”
"Mingniang, you're too worried. We couldn't be happier that you could help you. And you led the way. Ziyu was slightly blessed.
Xiao Mingniang nodded, took a handful of pipa from the hand of the attendant on the side, held it in her arms, and walked slowly ahead, "The two of you come with me." ”
"Xiao Zhang, something happened! The one inside is making trouble again. As soon as she entered Xinfang Building, a little girl rushed over in a hurry. She whispered to Xiao Mingniang, and then quietly stepped aside.
Xiao Mingniang frowned slightly, then eased her eyebrows and said calmly, and ordered the little girl beside her, "Remove half of the people who serve, and let her make trouble." ”
"Huh?" the little girl looked surprised.
"Stand down. ”
The little girl nodded and replied, "Yes." ”
Xiao Mingniang continued to move forward, and said to the two behind her, "In front of you is your room, how about naming it after you?" ”
"It's enough for the two of us to share a room. It doesn't have to be so bothered. Ziyu said flatly.
"It's fine. Xiao Mingniang pushed the door open for Ziyu, put the pipa in her hand on the elm stand, and turned around and said, "The Great Elder will come to Xinfang Building tonight." The girls are going to perform on stage. Ah Yu, Ah Yu, if you really have a heart, you should be prepared. The girl outside is called Green Sprout, what do you need to tell her? ”
"Okay, thank you Xiao for your business. Ziyu looked at Ming Niang and smiled.
The change in Ziyu's title made Xiao Mingniang smile, and it was rare to meet a sensible person.
"Prepare for this, I'll let you finale tonight. ”
After that, Xiao Mingniang left with a smile.
The moment the door closed, the smile on Xiao Mingniang's face disappeared completely. Summoned a girl, "The Great Elder wants a beauty over there, and now that there are two sisters, Ah Yu and Ah Yu, that one is also useless." Since she is so ignorant, she will deal with it according to the old rules. Doesn't our dead fishing halberd still need a soul sacrifice? ”
The girl smiled knowingly, answered yes, and left quickly.
In the wing, Ziyu thoughtfully turned the seven-colored bracelet on his wrist, and his gaze deepened. Tonight is over, and there are only five days left.
"Master, what should we do next? Could it be that we really want to approach the Great Elder?" the little apprentice spread his hands and sat on the edge of the bed, "...... I can't do that. ”
"With your wisdom, I am not at ease with you going. Ziyu got up and walked straight to the door.
"Teacher, where is my sister?" the little apprentice hurriedly caught up.
Under the leadership of Green Sprouts, Ziyu and Yunqiang visited all the large and small ready-to-wear and bead shops on Yiwu Island.
The little apprentice picked up the empty space, and whispered in Ziyu's ear while the green shoots were not paying attention, "Master, when is it, why are you still thinking about buying these Laoshizi." ”
"Since we want to be beautiful*, these things are indispensable. Ziyu said softly.
The little apprentice left with a look of me understanding, turned around, and picked out another set of jewelry for Ziyu.
Ziyu stood near the door, and there were faint passers-by talking about the Great Elder outside. The voice is faintly recognizable.
"This great elder is going to choose a relative tonight, and legend has it that there are already twenty-seven beautiful concubines in his house. ”
The crowd was in an uproar.
"You don't know that a few years ago, there was a great beauty on the island who captivated the country and the city. At that time, our Great Elder had several requests to marry but could not get it. But later, he still entered his house. Guess what the dowry under the Great Elder is. ”
"How do we know this! Don't sell it, talk about it quickly. ”
"Jiuli pot!"
Everyone exclaimed, Jiuli pot is the treasure of the relict tribe.
Ziyu smiled, although he didn't know if this was true or not, but listening to this meaning, the Great Elder seemed to be a person who was willing to do his best. She seemed to be one step closer to Jiuli Pot.
At dusk, night is falling.
The Xinfanglou yarn lamp is like day, and the candle flame is jumping. The cold moonlight reflected outside also warmed up.
Zi Yu'an sat in the wing. She drew her eyebrows slender and slightly raised, and the red plum blossoms on the ground between her foreheads. She smiled at the bronze mirror, with red lips and a red face, like a demon queen in troubled times.
The sound of silk and bamboo music outside started and stopped, and the melodious and tactful singing was endless, and the sound of clapping and cheering came one after another.
For a long time, Xiao Mingniang knocked on the knocker outside.
"Miss Ayu, it's time for you to play. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the door was suddenly opened.
Xiao Mingniang was stunned. Ziyu's charm blue dance dress is quite desert style, revealing a white willow waist, and a bead ornament is dotted at the navel. The skirt below is sprinkled out, standing barefoot, looming under the blue veil.
Ziyu casually wrapped the veil around, revealing only a pair of seductive eyes.
"Miss Ayu, I see that today's leader must be you. ”
Ziyu was slightly blessed and went to the stage with Xiao Mingniang.
On the stage, a warm yellow candlelight was reflected on Ziyu.
The four suddenly fell silent, and everyone held their breath, looking forward to the woman who appeared in the finale.
Suddenly, the flower drum struck. The voice was rapid.
Ziyu turned around and stepped on the golden carpet and slowly stepped forward. She raised her eyes slightly, and across the stage sat a very rich man in gorgeous clothes, with a thick beard, bald, and a large red Buddha bead on his neck. Presumably, that person should be the legendary Great Elder.
That's really ...... Ziyu smacked his tongue secretly, not wanting to evaluate.
The huqin sounded, and Ziyu slowly raised his hand with the melodious music. The golden tassels on her armband rattled, and her soft waist began to twist gently with the music.
At this time, the sound of the flute then joined, one piano and one flute, and gradually flew with the bell and stone drums. Ziyu's dance steps also increased faster and faster as the rhythm increased, and she spun rapidly in place, her blue dance skirt raised, like a blooming blue lotus.
Jumping and turning, the bell ringing on the foot, every movement is very stylish.
After the dance, Ziyu bowed slightly. In response to the burning smile of the Great Elder in front of her, she pretended to be shy and reached out to remove the veil, which amazed everyone.
"Sister, you dance so well! I saw that the great elder was stunned and didn't even blink his eyes. The little apprentice closed the door of the wing, couldn't hide his excitement, and said, "I heard that the great elder has always been anxious, and maybe tomorrow will come early in the morning to ask for a kiss." ”
Ziyu simply cleaned up and lay on the bed, another jade stone was dim.
Sleepless nights.
Sure enough, as the little apprentice said, the next morning, the letter of appointment from the great elder arrived at Xinfang Building. He also left a message saying that he would come to dinner at noon.
Xiao Mingniang was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth, and she spent the whole morning in Ziyu's ear, how rich the Great Elder's gift money was, how the Great Elder cared for the fragrance and cherished the jade, and how the Great Elder ......
mentioned a lot, but Ziyu's face became more and more ugly.
"Xiao Zhangshi, what I'm pursuing is not gold and silver glory. No matter how generous those gifts are, I can't look down on them. I want the Great Elder's cherishment, not these. ”
"My good girl, isn't this enough to show that the Great Elder cherishes you? What other girl can have such a big face. ”
"Neither gold nor cloth is unique. What is there to cherish? I want to be unique. What others don't have, I have. ”
"Good!" a man clapped his hands, and he walked in slowly, taking a serious look at Ziyu.
Xiao Mingniang was blessed, "I've seen the Great Elder." ”
He waved his hand to let Xiao Mingniang go down, and then turned to look at Ziyu with interest, "There are countless beauties, but you are the only one who wants to be unique." ”
Ziyu stood up and stretched out his hand to straighten the collar for the Great Elder, "I don't know if what Ah Yu wants is unique, whether the Great Elder gave it." ”
The Great Elder hooked her chin, "Then it depends on this beauty, whether Miss Ayu is worth it." ”
"Then the Great Elder thinks Ah Yu, is it worth it?" Zi Yu smiled.
"I think. The Great Elder leaned closer and closer, almost touching Ziyu's face, "No one is more worthy than Ah Yu." ”
Ziyu gently pushed him away, and said with a half-smile, "Actually, as long as Ah Yu is an elder, let alone those dowries." The reason why I want to be unique is nothing more than to ask for solace in my heart. What does the elder think, what should Ah Yu deserve?"
"Ah Yu is both talented and beautiful, and he deserves the best. The Great Elder looked at Ziyu, his eyes full of lust, "Naturally, it's Jiuli Pot." ”
"Tomorrow, no, tonight. I took it with me and spent the night with Ah Yu. ”
Ziyu's hand brushed the back of the Great Elder, and a silver bell-like laughter sounded, "Okay, then, Ah Yu will wait for the Elder here." ”
Her voice is so sweet that it tickles people's hearts.
Seeing off the Great Elder, Ziyu's smile was gone. The little apprentice who was hidden in the shadows came out.
"Master, I didn't expect this Great Elder to be deceived so easily. This Jiuli pot was really taken out when it was said. ”
"Do you really think that the one he brought tonight will be the real Jiuli pot?"
"What does Master mean?"
"Although the Great Elder is absurd, he has ruled the Remnant Island for ten years, and the city government must be extremely deep. He just saw me as a woman, how could he tell the real from the fake, and deceive me. ”
Ziyu looked at his hand and couldn't help laughing.
"However, I soon learned where the real Jiuli pot was hidden. ”
