Chapter 84
The long-lost winter is still here, and the weather is much colder. The plants in the garden were also wrapped in straw ropes, and Dapeng lived in a side bedroom next to the study.
Shurakshasa is getting better and better to Dapeng, and they all regard him as their own son.
Xiaohua still feels like she has been busy with something after falling asleep at night, but she just doesn't know what to be busy with, and she once thought it was her hallucination.
In winter, there is a very traditional festival called the sacrificial stove, that is, every family has to worship the king of the stove and pray for the health of the family in the coming year.
There is still a day when it is still a sacrificial stove, Jinhua was sent out by Shurakshasa to purchase some items, walking on Gongxi Street, everyone is buying necessary ancestral items for the sacrificial stove.
Da Man waited for the two of them to walk around slowly, and Da Man said very boringly
"Miss Honghua knows best about purchasing these items, why is the city lord just going to arrange for you to come out! You are most afraid of the cold. ”
Jin Hua tilted her mouth and agreed
"Honghua, in the past winter, when the heavy snow did not close the mountain, she married Gu Yan Kingdom to be the queen, and she still needs to be busy with these trivial things"
The two women were chatting and walking unintentionally, and a handsome man across the road kept staring at Jinhua and kept watching.
Da Man seemed to see something, and quickly approached a stall to pick up something.
Jin Hua looked around, just stood in place, did not take the initiative to join in the fun, the man seized the opportunity at this time, suddenly walked up to Jin Hua, pulled Jin Hua and walked away.
Jin Hua didn't react yet, but she had been dragged by the man into a corner where no one was around.
Jin Hua threw away the man's hand and rubbed his hand vigorously, and he didn't have a good airway
"Who are you? What are you going to do? ”
The man walked in mysteriously and stared at Jin Hua, Jin Hua only saw the other party's face clearly at this time, the man looked very handsome and young, Jin Hua was quickly attracted by his appearance, Jin Hua's eyes became gentle,
Said with a very charming smile
"What? It hurts to drop my hand! ”
The man was very interested, and stretched out a big hand to hold Jinhua's small magnolia finger, and looked at Jinhua very intimately.
Simply put
"I just came, Peacock City, I have heard for a long time that the city lord has three daughters in his family, but I didn't expect Sister Jinhua, you are really gluttonous!"
Jinhua looked at the man, and also returned a very smug smile, hooking the tip of the man's nose with his fingers,
Very sultry to put down the words
"At this time, it's not suitable, wait, I'll have an empty one"
The man said impatiently
"I live in my uncle's house,
You can come to me when you are free.
My uncle's family is the Chen family, the Zhong family. ”
Jin Hua frowned slightly and said anxiously
"Zhong family, you have a cousin who is Zhong Liguo, isn't it?"
The man replied bluntly
"Yes, that's right."
Jin Hua didn't have a good face, and walked away in a hurry, not interested in dealing with this man.
Da Man came out to look for it, and Jin Hua circled it, only to look up and see Jin Hua walking back alone,
Da Man shouted happily
"Miss Jinhua, I've bought it all, the price of picking up the money! I robbed it so much, and finally I managed to do everything the city lord ordered. ”
Jin Hua didn't say much, and looked at the big bags and small bags of things that Da Man carried.
Just beckoned a very gorgeous rickshaw and sat in it, and Daman then boarded the car and sat next to the driver.
The carriage walked slowly on the road back, and the man kept staring at Jinhua like a wooden chicken.
It's not that Jinhua didn't notice it, but she only recognized money and didn't recognize people's hearts.
Jinhua understands very well that in Chenjiatun, they are all very poor ordinary households, and Zhong Liguo is his own enemy.
No matter how Hu comes to Jinhua, he will not casually go to Hu Neng with a man who has no money.
The carriage walked through Gongxi Street and disappeared around the corner, and the man looked disappointed at the woman he had been infatuated with when he first met, and just walked away and stopped caring about himself.
Honghua has been locked in the bedroom by Shurakshasa and accepted an old woman sent by the old king of the ancient Yan country, and she trains strictly every day to learn the language and writing of the ancient Yan country, and must also learn etiquette, and clothing in the dressing and combing of hair, as well as walking posture.
All the style must be presented at the royal wedding, and the saffron must also show a new idea, showing all the talents and noble appearance of a queen.
The saffron couldn't stand it, the old mama's sternness and harshness, the old mama forced her to wear barefoot, half-heeled flowerpot-shaped heels, soft shoe bars, assorted silk embroidered shoes with soft soles.
The heel height of the shoes, and the dignified shaking and twisting of the walk, make the safflower originally love the habit of walking quickly, and must be changed.
Walking with such a deliberately swaying posture is very difficult for her to master, and if she doesn't walk well, she will break her feet.
The shoes are soft-packed soft shoe sticks, which makes Honghua get used to her feet as soon as she takes a step. After a few days of practice, I broke my foot several times, and the safflower wore shoes with bare feet, which made every time I broke my foot, it was more painful and unbearable.
The old mama's stern attitude towards doing things made Honghua feel that the old mama did not regard herself as the future queen at all in her eyes, and she had to respect herself.
This thing is put where it should be, but the old mother is going to torture herself.
Honghua was very resistant to the old mama, and deliberately did not go to the training ground several times, so she did not take the initiative to accept the old mama's teachings.
The old lady would eat the safflower there, and seeing that the safflower herself did not come to train, she walked directly to the Shurakshasa and reported the safflower truthfully what she had done.
Shurakshasa also knew very well in his heart that the ancient Yan country was an old ancient country that was extremely particular about etiquette and religion. As the future queen, Honghua must comply with etiquette and the rules of the ancient Yan Kingdom every time she appears, every time she smiles.
The queen's behavior did not conform to the rules of etiquette, and the king was blamed. What kind of temperament his daughter is, Shurakshasa knows best,
Do whatever you want, love to mess around with red flowers, there are so many courtesy requirements.
In order for her daughter to successfully play the role of a qualified queen, Shurakshasa personally pulled the red flower to cooperate with the old mother to receive training.
Ten days have passed, and Honghua's knee has been broken many times because of the constant broken foot. Safflower is almost half-lame and walks in high-heeled flower pot shoes.
On the day of the sacrifice, Honghua was crying and crawling alone in the bedroom,
Grumbling to himself
"I'm a queen here, obviously I'm going to die, but I'm still going to die, and I won't be allowed to die comfortably."
The sacrificial rite of the sacrificial stove began, and the Shurakshasa stood alone in front of the tablet of the clan, holding a horse whip high with a serious face.
Raised the whip and threw it out, and a row of cups fell to the ground of the ancestral hall in an instant.
Behind the Shurakshasa stood all men, all dressed in very serious black clothes, this was the most solemn sacrifice in the sacrificial stove.
As the sparse cups hit the ground, large fireworks began to set off outside the ancestral hall, and all the women and children cheered to watch the colorful fireworks of the year.
Every family also began to be busy with their own sacrificial activities. The candles and evergreen bamboo leaves were planted with incense and lit on fire at this time, and the men began to bow down to their ancestors.
This night was a sleepless night, everyone stayed up all night and didn't sleep, praying for the Lord of the Stove to come, and at dawn they sent the children of the family to go out of the house with a plate to take the Lord of the Stove home.
The children like to go to the stove king, because the stove prince is meritorious, and the elders in the family will reward the children of the stove king.
Shurakshasa's family only has the daughter of Jinhua, and she only walks, but the custom is like this, as long as there is a child's home, it must be the child who goes to pick up the king of the stove.
It was very unlucky to go against the customs, and in the end, the Shurakshasa stipulated, and Jin Hua hugged her daughter and took the plate to pick up the king of the stove home.
Everyone in the family was very happy and lively, only Xiaohua was not in a high mood and looked sluggish, and hid in her bedroom early.
She hadn't seen the green finch come to her for a long time, and the green finch hadn't come back for four months after leaving Peacock City, and Xiaohua missed her lover in her heart, and couldn't go to the sacrificial stove with a high mood.
Xiaohua and her sisters have too many personality gaps, she likes silence and solitude, and is very indifferent and quiet to many festivals and celebratory moments.
She changed her nightdress, lay down calmly, silently counted the stars in the starry sky outside the window, and soon fell asleep.
Dapeng climbed into Xiaohua's bedroom very reluctantly, he was still lustful, and the old routine tossed the ecstasy Xiaohua.
Dapeng pampered himself proudly, and enjoyed a beautiful and delicious meal.
Honghua limped out, and she unexpectedly heard that Xiaohua's bamboo building was emitting a very special movement in bursts.
Honghua is very familiar with such a very special movement, and when she used to serve Tan Huan, she often heard such a special, low, trembling voice from a man after his desire was released.
Honghua stopped in surprise, stood there in a very strange way, pricked up her two ears to listen carefully, the sound of rubbing her body, and the low roar of the throat in her throat, which seemed to tremble meaningfully.
Honghua suddenly felt very strange, she became curious, obviously the little flower did not have a normal moaning sound, just a very heavy snoring.
In the end, she listened patiently to all the processes, silently hiding behind the stairs, standing in a dense low bamboo forest, to see what was the end.
Soon, Honghua was surprised to see a man with a long, long white hairy tail walking down the stairs. Ran and walked away all the way.
Honghua stood there dumbfounded, not daring to speak out for a long time, she didn't blurt out shouting, she didn't understand when she saw whether it was a ghost or a fox.
No matter how smart she is, she can't connect this monster with the roc who is busy working in the backyard garden of her home during the day, and always looks very humble, honest and positive.
After Honghua recovered her spirits, she desperately climbed the stairs and walked all the way into Xiaohua's bedroom.
She understood at a glance that Xiaohua was poisoned, and she was completely asleep, lying on the bed, rolling her body vigorously, and she was not conscious.
Honghua was bold and tried to shake Xiaohua vigorously, she wanted to wake Xiaohua and ask her if she knew what had happened?
