148 Thousands of Years of Hope (Part II)
Not far from the towering palace wall, a red-brick mansion on the north side of the main street of Chang'an City, with two huge stone unicorns in front of the main gate, is particularly eye-catching.
Take a closer look, the door plaque has the inscription "Fire Mansion" written by Emperor Li Yuan of Gaozu, which is shining with golden light, and has just been scrubbed, which is in stark contrast to the many spider webs next to the plaque.
The fire mansion is very large, but it is very deserted, there are no guards, only an old woman and two old men walk around, busy non-stop. Huo Yuxi, who returned to the house, looked at the red sun that had just climbed onto the eaves and stretched her waist. When I came home last night, I asked my mother to say goodbye, and I didn't fall asleep until late at night.
"Young master, breakfast is ready, the master will let you go over for dinner." A young woman in tight plain clothes, without any ornaments, and her figure and face were still proud of the flowers, said coldly.
"Xiao Qin, are you still angry? If I take you somewhere to get my chance, your Shikigods are too fierce. Huo Yuxi said as she walked.
"I'm a maid, how dare I be angry with my master." Xiao Qin followed behind, his words filled with endless resentment, but his expression was still cold.
"Okay, don't be angry, I'll take you to Ezhou in a few days to play, okay!" Huo Yuxi turned around suddenly, Xiao Qin didn't pay attention, and the two bumped into each other.
Hongxia was half the sky, Xiao Qin covered the proud Shuangluan who couldn't hold his arms endlessly, and shouted with shyness in his anger: "You know that you bullied me, and it hurts again." ”
"I'll rub it with you?"
Let's rub it! Xiao Qin thought so in his heart, but fire erupted in his eyes. What to rub, people are far away.
Huo Yuxi came to the dining room and sat opposite his father, while Xiao Qin sat on his side and helped him serve porridge and food.
"Dad, where is my mother?" Huo Yuxi asked.
"It's not your fault, tell the truth about everything, she didn't sleep much last night because of your trip."
Xiao Qin took over and said, "I have already sent breakfast to my wife." ”
Huo Yuxi is very helpless, when I was a child, the Fire Mansion was very lively, since taking over the errand in the palace, my uncles and some senior brothers and sisters have been running around, or they have moved out of the Fire Mansion as a family. In addition, Emperor Taizong advocated frugality, and his father reduced the expenses of the mansion, saying that he wanted to be more frugal and low-key than others, resulting in no one in the huge Fire Mansion at all, and ghosts or gods were often seen.
What made him even more unhappy was that because his mother was not in good health and could not give birth again, and his father had no intention of renewing the house, he was offered like a baby, and there was no freedom at all. Xiao Qin is a few years older, like a sister or a nanny, more like her own hands, if it weren't for her strong protest, I'm afraid she would still be fed now. Fortunately, my father was very strict in private, otherwise I am afraid that he would have been the same as the rich boy in the Qinglou.
"Dad, I thought about it last night and thought there was a problem." Huo Yuxi told the orange-eyed zombie last night, and after thinking about it for most of the night, he continued: "I'm afraid that the Five Spirit Zombie is not sure that you will win, if he wants to overthrow the current royal family, I'm afraid it won't be difficult, why bear it?" ”
"Not bad! I know how to use my brain, and it is not in vain that I and your masters have taught me. I've been thinking about this for a long time, and I'm afraid it was a wrong decision to bring you back last night, but I can't handle it on your mother's side. ”
He also said: "Dao, Buddha and our earth immortal faction, you have already been a teacher, what you lack is actual combat experience, although the evil is strong, with your ability to actually only take half a day, but you used half a month, this is how a loving mother is a failure." ”
Huo Yuxi was overjoyed when she heard this, got up and said, "Dad, mother, I'll solve it, if you agree, I want to go to Ezhou to understand this matter clearly." ”
When Xiao Qin got up on the eve of the fire, he also got up and stood aside. Although she is a maid, she has also learned a lot of skills from the head of the family, but everyone knows that her identity is no different from that of a child daughter-in-law.
"Yes, but only if you convince your mother. Also, the emperor sent Daochang Li to carry out a secret mission, I'm afraid it has something to do with this matter, you also have to pay attention to it. He also said, "This time you have to bring Qin'er, although her style is not as good as her father, in fact, it is not much different." ”
Huo Yuxi is very happy, and Xiaoqin is also very happy. For Xiao Qin, it doesn't matter if the other party is the future husband, even if it is a small house, as long as he can be by his side. The head of the family didn't let the young master study the god in order to better strengthen her own strength, she knew this, so she worked very hard to study hard, just to make up for the lack of the young master.
Some people are happy and some are worried, Xiao Qin thought that Huo Yuxi would say some flattering words to win the consent of the housemother, but she didn't expect to fall in love with a girl. The sourness in her heart was indescribable, and the tears in her eyes could only flow to her heart, but she wanted to see what kind of woman it was, so that the young master cared so much, and the look in that person's eyes could not be deceived.
Huo Yuxi knew that if it was something like getting rid of demons and subduing demons, her mother would definitely not agree, but if she married a wife and had children, her mother would definitely be 100% willing. Mother often lets herself marry Xiaoqin, but how can she marry her sister? Although there is no blood relationship.
…… ……
There are many lakes in Ezhou, and the scenery is also very comfortable, but it is too hot, this heat is different from the one in Chang'an City, and Xiaoqin is very uncomfortable. In addition, Yang Zhangyue, who knocked out of the young master's mouth, was even more irritable in his heart, and he didn't have a good face along the way.
Opera has not yet been popularized in this country, and it is all mixed with some Yan music and dance. The reason why the opera of the Red Sleeve Opera Troupe is more popular is that it is actually mixed with some dances of the Liuli Kingdom and the Western Regions, which are eye-catching because they are fresh.
The name of the red-sleeved opera troupe has spread all over Ezhou, and it is not difficult to find Huo Yuxi.
One has gone through a long journey of more than a month, and the other is looking forward to it day and night, and his thoughts are haggard. When Huo Yuxi and Yang Zhangyue met, under the initiative of the woman, the two hugged each other for a long time.
Yang Zhangyue's love seems passive, and there are mostly factors arranged by the elders, plus Huo Yuxi herself is also personable and outstanding, and under many deposits, it is out of control; On the contrary, Huo Yuxi takes the initiative to love and understands her inner thoughts.
Xiao Qin on the side was dumbfounded, what she liked was actually a drama girl, what is the difference between this and the geisha in the Qinglou? Although she has never been to Qinglou, she has also seen some drama troupes, just twisting her ass and dancing and singing a few words.
"Ahem, ahem... Young master, many people are watching. We've been on the road for more than a month, so why don't we find a place to rest and rest? Xiao Qin finally couldn't stand it.
"Who is this?" At this time, Yang Zhangyue pulled out and found that there was a woman next to her, who was very beautiful and much better looking than herself.
"My sister, you can just call her Sister Qin." Huo Yuxi introduced.
"He is my young master, I am a maid, and I grew up with him." When Xiao Qin said it, he also intended to get close to Huo Yu Xi for a few minutes. Sister? The maid has the opportunity to become a wife or concubine, but the sister has no chance at all.
"Sister Qin, you don't have to look for a place." Yang Zhangyue turned around and pointed to the inn and said, "We have chartered the entire inn for half a year, and there are many empty rooms." Yang Zhangyue smiled enthusiastically as if she hadn't heard the taste of Xiao Qin's words.
The fox spirit, it is estimated that this kind of smile confuses the young master, and the woman in the Qinglou must be like this, no! Can't let her succeed, Xiao Qin secretly made up her mind.
"You're here! Why didn't you write to me in advance, I can send someone to pick you up. Yang Xin walked out of the inn and said enthusiastically: "What are you doing outside, come in." Yue'er, don't hurry up and call them in. ”
It's her? Xiao Qin recognized it, this woman was full of charm, and she had come to Huofu many times, but she was all branched out. The subordinates thought that the mistress was jealous, but in fact, she knew that this person was the princess of the previous dynasty, and it was not the idea of calling her the lord.
"I've seen the class master!" Huo Yuxi was very respectful.
"Master!" Yang Zhangyue saluted, and then said to the two of them: "Let's go!" Otherwise, Master will have to punish me again. ”
Master? That is to say, Yang Zhangyue is also a person from the previous dynasty. The young master falls in love with the people of the previous dynasty, which will destroy the entire fire mansion, and the lord and mother will definitely be in the dark. No, it must not work, but fortunately I came with me this time. Xiao Qin had already made up his mind that he had to pull the young master out of this whirlpool as soon as possible.
When he walked into the inn, Xiao Qin felt that the belt around his waist was stuffed into something. Looking around, a white-haired figure flashed across the street.
Yang Zhangyue took the two of them to settle in the guest room, and Xiao Qin took a nap in the room on the grounds that he was not feeling well. Huo Yuxi immediately ran out with Yang Zhangyue, and after the two of them pierced through the layer of tissue paper, their close relatives were more than ten times larger, and they soon held hands.
Shopping, shopping, chasing, everywhere you go. Yang Zhangyue patiently introduced the essence of opera, and Huo Yuxi explained the Three Realms and Six Realms with great concern. The more they talked, the more they loved, the more crazy they became, on the grass where no one was, the two hugged and kissed each other passionately, and they were just the last step.
Huo Yuxi seemed to have forgotten the original intention of coming, even if she noticed that someone was following her all the way, and felt that someone was secretly protecting them, she didn't care.
This person exists, it is Yang Zhangyue's uncle, that is, the five-spirit zombie with orange pupils. He kept following, looking at everything in front of him, his eyes were full of waves, as if he was entangled, hesitant, and had very contradictory inner thoughts.
On the other side, Xiao Qin found a white strip of cloth with words written on his belt, and after arriving as promised, he found that this person was Li Chunfeng, the first strange person in the Tang Dynasty.
"Little girl, Lao Dao has a lot of relationship with the Huo family, so she told her bluntly. The Huo family is entering the land of no return, if you want your young master to be safe and the Huo family to be safe, then cooperate with Lao Dao. Li Chunfeng said with a solemn face.
Xiao Qin knows a lot about the Huo family, including after being the fire god Zhu Rong. He has been living in the Huo family since he was sensible, and the lord and mother have never shied away from themselves. And she has long regarded herself as a member of the Huo family, and she will never allow anyone who wants to harm the Huo family.
"Thank you, Chief!" Xiao Qin bowed and said, "As long as you can help the Huo family and don't let the young master get hurt, the Taoist chief will give orders!" She knew that the lord had a high opinion of Li Chunfeng, and even regarded his master Yuan Tiangang as a target to catch up.
