The forty-first episode of Qingping's night whistle hibiscus box
The calm passing year began to ripple, and it was from this Shangyuan Festival two years and eight months later. The so-called: the middle of the day is shifted, and the full moon is lost.
On the Yuan Festival, the ancient wood shade is closed for three days. Mrs. Qing, the lord of Qingyaoyi, is a lively person, holding a lantern festival in her own mansion, inviting the famous families in the city to come, the Zhao family, the Wu family, the Lu family, the Chen family in the neighboring Qiwuyi, and the twelve herb pickers of the Qingbao Pavilion are all invited.
Before the Lantern Festival, there is a night banquet. Qingyaoyi Mansion, the porter reported one by one, the female dependents piled up red makeup, powdered ink, you sang and I appeared, one after another with the Qingyaoyi lord and wife greetings, salutes, laughing, and sitting.
The ladies of the house, or the rich and noble families, or the reading and the clear stream, the gifts are also colorful, the Zhao family is naturally to their favor, and send Mrs. Qing her favorite palace silk: "Mrs. Qing, I know that you love splendor, the old body is not talented, it is more splendid, and today I will present six horses, to Mrs. Xie to invite the good intentions." ”
Mrs. Qing smiled like a flower, and beckoned the maid close to her: "Cuizhu, don't accept it quickly, this is all the old lady's hospitality." The maid took it and bowed down to thank her. But Mrs. Na Qing looked at her lips without being noticed, and leaned into the old lady's ear and said, "The quality of your six horses is much worse than the six horses I directly mentioned from the third master's treasury last time. After saying that, she smiled like a flower again and went to greet other guests.
The old lady Zhao, for a while, her face was gray, and she felt that her face was brushed with a huge face, which made people feel pain in the heart. The last time the lady of Qingyao Yi directly mentioned the six silk silks from her third library, it was two and a half years ago when she spoke, and at that time, she also wronged Jing Zhixi for this, and then six thousand silk silks disappeared, so the old lady was deeply impressed.
Since then, Mrs. Qing has never bought the Zhao family's palace silk. She recalled the sound of Mrs. Qing's words, depressed, and sat down. It stands to reason that according to her family's wealth, she should be able to sit in the head seat, but this time, the old lady was arranged in the fourth position on the west side, which was the guest seat. The old lady lost her smile even more. Zhao Mengmo stepped forward to be coquettish, and was scolded impatiently by the old lady, so he ran to the courtyard with interest.
Jing Zhixi stepped forward to peel an orange for her, the old lady was in a bad mood, peeled the orange, and threw it on Jing Zhixi's face, and said: "What kind of book do you want to read, it is also a pickled thing that can't be on the table, I didn't see that the master has not yet entered the table, you are letting me eat other people's tongue root handles!" Get out! I had dirty eyes when I saw it. ”
Jing Zhixi bowed her head to the old lady and withdrew from the courtyard. This kind of treatment is commonplace for her, so she doesn't take it very seriously. When I went out, I saw all the female relatives surrounding the twelve medicine pickers from the green bag, all of them were taking the homemade moon cakes from the bamboo basket on their wrists, only to hear a female family holding a round cake the size of a copper coin, and asked with a smile: "Miss Dian'er, you said that this is a cake with ground Chinese medicine pollen as a filling, I don't know what I took this and what it was made of?" ”
"What I have in this basket is a double-petaled rose with crushed ink, wrapped in glutinous rice, which can make the skin white and delicate; No, in this basket, it is the peony flowers; Inside Mu'er, there is a white angelica heart, which is eaten by women, which can relieve the cold and whiten the ...... "Dian'er introduced the filling and efficacy of the pastries in the twelve medicinal women's baskets one by one, and everyone was attentive.
Zhixi was even more fascinated when she heard it there, and couldn't help but come over, and said greedily: "Sister Fairy, you are the same as Wu Gucuo, you are really a good person, every grass and tree, you are all endowed with affection, and even the cakes are so beautiful." ”
"You're right, come, reward you with one," Dian'er was like a sister, took out a Angelica Angelica stuffed from Mu'er's basket, handed it to her palm, and said with a smile: "This is the wrong idea." He treats the grass and trees, and he is the rare and most affectionate one. ”
There is a deep meaning in this, and Zhixi is just ignorant. She took one, and when she was about to put it in her mouth, she reluctantly put it down, and asked Dian'er, "Is the bone wrong?" ”
"I just saw him and his master, and went to the moon gate over there," Bu'er showed her the way. Zhixi walked quickly and looked for it. Qingyi Mansion is really big, winding, turning and turning, she is lost.
Suddenly, an incomparably powerful but invisible aura began to pull her to a vermilion lacquer gate in a high-walled deep courtyard. Before she came, the door was closed, but as soon as she stood in front of it, it opened for her automatically, as if she had been pulled by the same force as hers. In this way, like a puppet manipulated by an invisible object, she walked through the deep corridor pavilion in the courtyard, turned around, and arrived in front of a house, where the house was carved with beams and paintings, the eaves were rubble, and the words "Furong Pavilion" were written on the lintel. The door of the Hibiscus Pavilion was also closed at first, and as soon as she arrived at the door, the door, like the gate of Fangcai, was wide open, allowing her to enter and exit.
"What is this? Could it be that the contents of this box are pulling me to do this? As if there was no one beside her, she went into an inner room and opened a cupboard, which contained a hibiscus box with a green sword inside, and the green sword trembled wildly in the scabbard of the hibiscus box.
Zhixi was controlled to pick up the sword with her hand, and the sword seemed to have found its owner, bowing her head to her ears. She was finally no longer under the control of the sword and regained her senses. At this moment, a man in his bedclothes, standing behind her, asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?" Why did you trespass into the inner room? ”
Zhixi was terrified when she heard the sound, Qingping fell to the ground in her hand, she turned her head, trembling, and it was difficult to explain for a while. The daughter's house who has not left the cabinet, broke into the inner room of a strange man at night, and took other people's things, who can explain it?
In another courtyard of Qingyaoyi Mansion, Wu Fuzi delivered a meeting gift when he was just entering because of his bad eyes, and mistakenly gave the ring map to Chen Zigui to the lord of Qingyaoyi. After the bone mistake was exchanged, he was still sharing pastries when he met Dian'er. Dian'er asked with a smile: "Zhixi went to look for you just now, did you look at her?" ”
"No, it's not that I'm lost again." Wu Gu said wrongly, three steps and two steps to find it. Turning the corner of the dark alley, he also felt the breath of the green sword that Zhixi had felt: "Strange, how can there be a Qingping breath here?" "Qingping is his personal magic weapon when he was in the secret realm, and the green sword that was later given to Bai Zhixi to protect his body.
He followed the breath and found Zhixi, Zhixi was frightened by the eerie voice of the man behind him, and for some reason, Zhao Mengmo was tiptoeing in front of the door, seeing Wu Gucuo coming, he also followed the straightened waist and stood in the inner room, and when he saw the scene in front of him, his eyes were round and his mouth was open, and he was about to shout when he saw it, Wu Gu hurriedly slapped him in the face, and he passed out on the ground.
What happened after that, Zhao Mengmo didn't know anything. I only knew that it was his little servant Shuzi who woke him up, stabbed Wu Gucuo with a sword in the waist again, as a retaliation, and then carried him and ran away. Jing Zhixi helped the injured Wu Gucuo and went to Mrs. Zhao to seek justice.
"Qingyao Yi lord and Yi lord and wife are above, and all the villagers and elders in the hall testify that since this son of the old master Wu came to me to ask for justice with pain, I also said, who will do it first!" When the old lady saw that everyone was gathered and Wu Fuzi was also there, she opened her mouth and made a preemptive strike.
She pulled over her grandson Zhao Mengmo, who was trembling and hiding behind her, pointed to the bruised half of his face, and said, "Everyone also take a look, this Wu Gu is wrong, and my grandson is injured like this!" Moreover, this is not the first time. More than two years ago, he punched and kicked my grandson once, and that time, I remembered that my grandson was teaching under the master's seat, and I didn't pursue it, I didn't think about it, but I was arrogant in his father's ability to dominate! ”
For a while, everyone pointed and pointed at each other, and the person who was still pitiful and wrong-minded was now blinded by the old lady's rhetoric, and felt that it was him.
"Bone mistake! Say something! What's going on? Wu Fuzi thinks that even if Wu Gu is wrong, even if he is not his own child, his character is not bad, and he will not cause trouble for no reason. He wanted him to explain.
However, Wu Gu was wrong and looked at Jing Zhixi beside him. He couldn't say anything, and as soon as he told the reason for the incident, her reputation in the world, along with her shelter in the Six Realms, was all over.
"Don't speak! It's a loss, acquiescing. "Old Madam Zhao won't say anything if she kills her. She won.
Dian'er stepped forward, no matter what others said, she stopped the bleeding for Wu Gucuo, and practiced medicine for many years, so that she developed the habit of carrying emergency medicine with her.
"I want to report to the official and let him go to prison!" Zhao Mengmo saw that the old lady restrained Wu Gucuo, and took a bite.
"The lord of Qingyao and I are all here, whether you can go to prison or not, how can you have the final say!" Chen Zigui stood up at this time, and his righteous and stern appearance made Old Master Wu straighten his waist.
"Okay, you Chen Zigui, what kind of official frame are you taking in front of me now?" Zhao Mengmo said hatefully: "When I was in the same room, you and I were not the same ordinary people. ”
"Okay, you Zhao Mengmo, you can still remember the words 'classmates in the virtual room'!" Chen Zigui retaliates with a tooth for a tooth, and following the rules is his weakness, and it is also his only consideration to stand up to the sky: "When the street weapon hurts his classmates, besides, he is a Xie Yuan, even if he is not an official, he can give a seat when he sees an official, and you almost killed him." I think you're the one who deserves to go to jail! ”
"The outdated Xie Yuan, what is there to show, now, it's not that he doesn't even dare to put a fart! "Zhao Mengmo's mouth is not clean, and his quality is very low.
"Each has its faults, let each other go." Because Qingyaoyi is in his own mansion, he wants to be a peacemaker, busy calming Chen Zigui's anger, and busy saying that he will shake hands with the two families.
However, if everything is broken, how can it be said to be harmonious? Mrs. Zhao led Zhao Mengmo and other family members away.
"You go too." Wu Gu looked at Jing Zhixi and gently instructed, afraid that if she didn't follow, she would be punished again when she went home.
"Yes." Jing Zhixi nodded obediently and asked uneasily, "What about you?" ”
"It doesn't matter." Wu Gucuo endured the pain, and squeezed out a wry smile from the corner of her mouth to comfort her: "I have you, the fairy sister Dian'er, and Chen Zigui to support me." I'm fine. Go quickly, and in a moment they will all be far away, and you don't know the way. Jing Zhixi bit her lip lightly, lowered her head and ran.
After that, Wu Fuzi and the lord of Qingyaoyi said goodbye, and Dian Er and Chen Zigui held Wu Gucuo with one arm and returned to Gumuyin.
"Bone mistake, I didn't say you, you were reckless today, where can't you fight? I can't do it, I have to teach him a lesson in Qingyaoyi Mansion. Chen Zigui has always regarded Wu Gu as a confidant, and he has never seen him as abrupt as he is today: "You also let Zhixi help you to go to Mrs. Zhao to seek justice, that old lady, although she is from Yuewu Village, is a well-known calf protector in Sanxiang Wuli, she can say her grandson in public for you, isn't it?" Didn't you splash all the dirty water on you? ”
Who splashed this dirty water? I think no one can guess except Wu Gucuo himself.
Because, the man in the inner room of Naqing Yaoyi is none other than Hades. He has been lurking in the world for many years, so that one day he can use Qingping to recognize the lord Zhixi, so as to get back the Zhixi Jue that should have been in his bag seventeen years ago. As for what Gu Wrong used to persuade him and let him let Zhixi go for the time being, others don't know.
Only he knows that the covenant between demons and ghosts is destined to be covered up by mortal entanglements, and Zhao Mengmo is his cover.
