Chapter 34: The Day of Rest

I rode the wind all the way to Jiankang, to enjoy the bright scenery of the mountains and wilderness in the mood of travel, tired to the market to play a sharp rest, there is Taoism to defend oneself, and the money is very sufficient, and the previous meal wind and drink dew of the shape of the dew is different from the cloud mud, in the end everything is smooth, the mood is bright. In this way, it only took three days to get to Jiankang City.

Jiankang City is the capital of the Chen Dynasty in the south, both the lingering and gentle beauty of the warm mountains and soft waters in the south of the Yangtze River, and the rich and graceful atmosphere of the royal capital.

What's more, from time to time, there are handsome people who walk by with wide sleeves, graceful demeanor, and chic manners, which makes me, a modern person, feel ashamed of myself: "I have heard that there were many beautiful men in the Southern Dynasty during this period, so it seems that what is said in the history books is not false at all." But seeing them get together from time to time to talk about it, out of curiosity and pretending to pass by unintentionally, listening to it, the people they talk about are always not out of the metaphysical Lao Zhuang, and the words and sentences are very elegant and gorgeous, but after listening to it for a long time, I don't know what they want to express. I couldn't help but feel a little contempt: "These male vases are all dressed up elegantly, but they don't have any real knowledge, they only know that they get together and talk nonsense, and the history books say that the Southern Dynasty advocates Qing talk, but misinterprets Lao Zhuang, but it is confirmed one by one." ”

I inquired around, and finally found Yuhuatai Qilin Lane, but there was only one Han Garden when I asked. She expected that Yu Jinsu would never mistake the surname of her uncle, but she had no choice but to ring Han Yuan's door knocker, and after a while, an old servant came out to answer the door, he saw that I was beautiful and vulgar, and his temperament was noble, and he didn't dare to underestimate it, so he respectfully said: "Dare to ask the girl what you have to do?" ”

I saw that he was polite, so I had to follow the example of everyone's ladies and return the courtesy: "May I ask if there is a Feng Zhiyao Feng ...... in the house" She didn't know how to call Feng Zhiyao, thinking that since she was Yu Jinsu's uncle, she was naturally forty or fifty years old, and it was naturally inappropriate to call her "girl", and it was impolite to call her "lady", and she would call her "lady", this old man would definitely not understand.

The old servant didn't wait for her to finish, then waved his hand and said, "Girl, since the mansion is called Han Yuan, naturally there is no surname Feng." He saw that I wanted to say something more, and hurriedly said: "There is no such surname on my relatives, please go back." With that, he pulled into the house and closed the door.

I said angrily: "This old man's manners are polite, but he is too impatient." ”

"What to do? I can't find Feng Yuan, and I'm afraid that the things my sister explained will not be found. "When I hesitated, I saw a column of people in big red clothes and trousers, beating gongs and drums and swaggering through the market, like a wedding procession, my curiosity rose again, and I couldn't help but have a little idea of seeing if the groom was handsome, so I quietly followed, but all the way to the end, I saw a black horse with a red flower on his head but no one riding in front of him, and the groom official was never seen.

"Hehe, this is strange, could it be that the groom is sitting in a sedan chair." I'm more and more curious, how to find out.

The greeting procession finally stopped in front of the vermilion lacquer gate of Dazaifu, the sedan curtain was lifted, the sedan body was slightly tilted, and a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl walked down from it, petite, fair-skinned, and delicate facial features.

A cardamom girl, with her own welcoming team, described ** standing in front of the high-ranking Dazaifu, what is this for? Even if the people in the neighborhood don't dare to approach the majesty of Dazaifu, who can afford to miss this once-in-a-lifetime excitement? After a while, the crowd gradually formed a semi-arc encirclement, and I was the first of the group to bear the brunt of this little girl's next move.

The little girl was silent for a while, and finally as if she had made up her mind, she said to the gate of Dazaifu: "Feng Yixiang, you said that as long as I cultivate myself into a veritable lady, you will marry me." For this reason, I went to Suzhou to practice diligently for two years, and finally obtained the celebrity post awarded by Teacher Ji Yunhua personally. Now it's time for you to make good on your promise! ”

I thought to myself, "Is this a fuss?" I've only seen a man come to the door to rob a relative, and I haven't seen a woman come to the door to ask for a marriage, if you talk about courage, what Yu Jinsu, Yu Yingxiang, and this little girl have to stand aside. ”

The little girl's voice was slightly higher: "Yixiang, do you know?" Just for your words, I waited for three years, seven months and five days, I can't stand it anymore, even if you don't want to marry me, just come out and meet me. ”

For a long time, the two cold doors were still tightly closed.

The little girl couldn't help but rush forward, slapping the thick door panel hard, and still kept shouting: "Yixiang, you come out for me, as long as you say a word to me in person, let me die, come out, come out." The mellow voice was hoarse, with a little whimper.

I couldn't help but say angrily: "What kind of character is this Feng Yixiang? No matter how outstanding the style is, he doesn't take such a slut, and he will never lose a piece of meat when he comes out to meet people. Don't let me touch him, or the boss will have to scrape his ears. ”

The door was suddenly opened, the little girl hit the air with her palm, her body naturally leaned forward, and the servant who answered the door was also an old man, and his body was very flexible, so he gently let go of the way, and let the little girl stand on her feet and fall to the ground.

The little girl didn't care about herself at all, and she didn't hurry to get up from the ground, she looked up at the old man with a flushed little face that was still stained with tears, and asked in a choked voice, "Where is Yixiang?" Still won't see me? ”

The servant still tilted his chin slightly, looking like a dog, and said in a strange manner: "My third son has moved elsewhere. ”

The flush on the little girl's face receded, revealing a smile of relief, and I can especially empathize: yes! He is not at home, so naturally he can't see her, but it's not that he doesn't want to see her.

"With all due respect, Miss Long's actions today are really against the true character of a lady, I think even if the third prince is in the house, he will definitely not want to see you, it seems that Miss Long still needs to go to Minglais Zhai to practice for another year."

The little girl was slightly stunned, stood up and saluted: "It's the little woman who is reckless." Uncle Zhong, how are Dazai-sama and Mrs. Dazai!? ”

The old servant frowned: "It was fine, but I was afraid that it would not be okay if you made a fuss like this." ”

The little girl was squeezed by the servant repeatedly, and stood there in a daze, so embarrassed that she did not know what to do.

At this moment, I saw two slender women, mediocre-looking but well-dressed, walking towards the little girl with bad intentions, both with a contrived evil smile on their faces.

"Oh no, this little girl is going to be humiliated." I turned around a corner, covered the man's shirt in the bag, hurriedly pulled up the long hairpin, and instantly turned into a beautiful man with a good demeanor.

When they returned to the crowd, the two women were attacking left and right, their words were extremely mean and vicious, and they both claimed to be genuine ladies who graduated from a certain academy, but they were so crazy and vicious, twisted and fabricated, how could they see half a lady's appearance.

"Yo! Isn't this the daughter of Taishi Ling, who has always been above the top, I can't imagine that you are so eager to get married. ”

"Sure enough, it's 'not a hit, it's a blockbuster'. Such a feat of getting married in a hurry, the slave family can't learn it for a hundred years. ”

"Isn't it? Take the initiative to send it to the door, and if the slave family were you, you would have been so ashamed that you would have been killed. ”

"Alasβ€”β€”, I don't know if our Miss Long's feat today, Taishi Gong, his old man, don't know, pitiful! He has always been self-controlled, and he has lost all his face to this unfilial girl. Gee! ”

The little girl finally couldn't help it, tugged at the sleeve of one of them, and said angrily: "Just say me, don't get involved with my father." ”

The woman also grabbed the little girl's sleeve in turn, and said with a straight face: "What kind of thing are you, dare to marry him?" Don't look in the mirror, you can just distinguish eyebrows and eyes, how can you match his peerless appearance? ”

Although these words were light, I heard them clearly, and I said disdainfully: "Peerless appearance? It's an exaggeration! Is there my Yuwen Shuai? ”

Another woman also rushed forward and said viciously: "There are more women who want to marry him, and it will not be your turn to talk about appearance and family background." You'd better hurry up and go back! Don't be embarrassed here. After speaking, I pushed on the little girl's shoulder, although she looked weak and delicate, the push force was great, the little girl staggered back, looking at the fall of the fall, I saw the right time to rush up, and firmly took the little girl in my arms.

The second daughter still has to theorize, but look at my skin is better than snow, my eyebrows are picturesque, and a blue light robe is wide and wide on the body, and it is even more outstanding, like stepping on the clouds, there are no accessories on the body, but there is no need for accessories, just this otherworldly atmosphere, so that no one dares to despise it. I was stunned and couldn't say a word anymore.

I caught the little girl and said gently: "Long'er, you can't marry him, can you marry me?" ”

This little girl surnamed Long didn't know why, but she was also taken by Qingli's face, and she didn't even push her away.

I took the opportunity to hold her hands, looked at her affectionately and said, "This kid surnamed Feng has eyes and no beads, and he doesn't know how to lift, so you can forget about him!" Although you have waited for him for three years, I know that I have waited for you for six years. At that time, in the back garden of my grandfather's house, you were still a drooping girl, playing Keju wholeheartedly, I happened to pass by, and saw that you were innocent and Yuxue was cute, so I had the heart to marry you. Since then, I have waited patiently, and I don't care about any woman, but when you are older, I will go to your house to propose marriage. Now that you are so slim and dignified, if my parents see it, they will rejoice for me! Her voice is pleasant, her spit is elegant, and she speaks eloquently, her voice is full of emotion, and she is very deep in the play, and she almost believes her words when she makes up words, how can she not make the woman next to her crazy with jealousy.

I waved to the welcoming procession: "It's all gone!" Next time, I should come to the door in person to marry Long'er. ”

When the crowd saw that there was no excitement to see, they also dispersed, and the two arrogant and domineering eldest ladies had no choice but to stomp their feet and leave in a huff.
