Chapter 5 There are birds and birds Ding Lingwei, go home for a thousand years and return now
On the dresser, in front of the glass mirror, the girl sits on it.
Yun sideburns are high, water sleeves Luo skirt, in front of the glass mirror, the jade man is quietly dressed up, Qianqian Su took off a piece of lip paper dyed with paint from a copper box on the dresser, hesitated, or gently took a small sip, and suddenly, the cherry mouth looked even more delicate.
Ding Yuchen rarely dresses up so brightly, usually in the Xianxi Water Mansion, she is as low-key as possible, plain face, and does not let her makeup surpass other maids.
The maids who do this will be selected by the goddess and selected to be used as a dancing girl or a plaything to accompany the bed.
In the past, she was young, and when she hid back, no one deliberately embarrassed a little girl, so she was often given some idle work, and she just got by.
But now she is not the same, she has turned fourteen years old, and if she is still at home, it is time to do the ceremony......
Looking at the beauty billet that gradually showed a little color in the mirror, Ding Yuchen's thoughts didn't know where to go.
"I don't know that the ancestral shrine at home is covered with moss? Dad used to always take his younger brother to clean it with his own hands, never let the next person approach, but now no one cleans it, seven years have passed, and I still don't know what it looks like in dilapidation! Alas, I was in a hurry back then, and I didn't even take away the god card, and the ancestors and ancestors had broken the incense for seven years......"
At the age of fourteen, he is already an adult in Da Liao.
At this time, the housewife of a large family will hold a ceremony, inviting some relatives and friends to be present and introduce their daughters, which means that there are daughters in my family who are adults and can be married.
If there is a willing family, the female dependents in charge of the family will make a post at the party, make an appointment to enjoy the flowers, etc., look at each other, observe the woman's behavior, and if they are satisfied, they will further contact and inquire about the woman's family situation, and finally talk about marriage.
If the woman loves her daughter, most of them will stay for a few more years, but they will also pay attention to the man, inquire about the men of the appropriate age one by one, and select the best, and the man and the woman can make a marriage contract first and agree to get married at a certain date.
The atmosphere of Da Liao is like this, women can be married at fourteen, and twenty is the older age.
According to the laws of the Great Liao Kingdom, a woman who is over 24 years old and unmarried will be fined 5,000 yuan per year.
Even if it is a wealthy family, this amount of money is not a small amount, and it can catch up with the expenditure of a month or two.
"If my mother is still here, I should have received a lot of hairpin stickers and flower-viewing posts this year......"
"Alas......"
With a faint sigh, Ding Yuchen lowered his eyes, and his eyes were red.
The days of sending people under the fence and looking up to people are unimaginable for people who have not really experienced it personally.
Since the age of seven, the family has changed suddenly, the parents died, the clan persecuted, and then became a sacrifice and sank into the stream, was taken in by the water house, and intrigued......
In the past seven years, from an ignorant girl who protects her younger brother, she has stumbled and lived until now, she has not been sent away at will like other "sacrifices", nor has she been beaten to death for violating taboos, she has suffered a lot.
No one can shelter her from the wind and rain, and no one will pity her tears.
The cold reality taught her to wipe away her tears, restrain her emotions, accompany her to be careful, show a smile, cater to all parties, and run to fight for a small world for herself and her brother.
Don't look at Shuifu far away from the world, you feel that this is a paradise.
There are the same high and low here, the same intrigues, as a human race, and young, Ding Yuchen can be said to have suffered a lot of grievances in the first few years.
In addition, there is an ignorant younger brother, who will always inadvertently get into some small troubles......
Growing up in such a difficult environment, she had to develop a sensitive mind and a vigilant heart.
Talk less, fight less, do more, think more, abide by the rules, and know your duty, which is the experience she found after hitting her head and bleeding.
"Next time, I'm afraid it's my turn to sleep......"
There are many ghosts and gods, gods and monsters, or princes and princes in the world, and some maids will be assigned to go to the bed every time.
Sometimes if she meets a distinguished guest, the goddess of Xianxi will go down in person, mix it up, and count it carefully, she has seen thirty or fifty such ministers in the past seven years.
A maid like her is a vassal slave, and all the blessings and misfortunes of life and death are attributed to the hands of the goddess of Shuifu, and it is very likely that she will give it away.
This is also the reason why she dressed up this time.
When she was twelve years old, there was a ghost god from the underworld who took a fancy to her, and she rejected it on the grounds of being young, and the other party did not dare to force it in the face of the goddess, but she knew from the other party's eyes that he was not dead.
This time, she had no more reason to refuse.
If she could, she hoped that she would stay in the water house forever, even if it was to be a sprinkler and sweeper.
She doesn't want to be a plaything, serving a guest who doesn't know where to come.
The guests who come and go from the owner of the water house really have everything.
If you encounter those monsters who like to eat people, you won't even be left with a corpse.
She's seen it.
The young lady who entered the water mansion a year later than her, because she was sent to serve an eagle-headed monster, was left with half of her leftover arms and miscellaneous pieces the next day, and the bloody and terrifying scene made her have nightmares for three months in a row.
After finishing the makeup, although she was unwilling, she still had to go out after all.
Early this morning, she had been summoned to dress up and go to the goddess.
So, she guessed, this time it was her turn to entertain her.
"I hope I'm serving a normal human race......"
With a little apprehension and reluctance for the future, Ding Yuchen packed up his mood and hid his thoughts that he shouldn't have, at least he didn't show anything on his face, and then moved to the dormitory step by step.
The short journey seems to be as long as half a life.
But no matter how long the road was, it finally came to an end.
His heart was pounding, almost jumping out of his chest, Ding Yuchen gritted his teeth and walked into the familiar palace.
Unlike what was originally thought, there were no guests in the hall, only a master and a servant, sitting at the table, each holding black and white, playing a righteous game.
"Coming? Let me see what happened to Chen Mingzhu's daughter now. ”
Jiang Ruoqing is quite enthusiastic, not like usual.
If you want to say that there are more than 200 maids up and down this water mansion, there are even more people who are released to take care of the industry.
Jiang Ruoqing usually has the time to pay attention to so many people, she always orders a few henchmen to take care of them, and generally ignores them.
Ding Yuchen didn't know what the Xianxi goddess was crazy about this time, so he had to walk over obediently.
Jiang Ruoqing leaned over and took a closer look at her eyebrows and appearance, and nodded with satisfaction.
"Well, it's not bad, Chen Mingzhu was a famous lady for hundreds of miles, known as a talented and beautiful girl, her daughter was really born well, and her appearance and figure can be counted in the world, even if she is worthy of a prince."
Jiang Ruoqing smiled and took her hand again, looked at her palm prints, and asked the time of birth again, secretly calculating.
She got a hexagram, and she explained the hexagram again, and the hexagram was as follows:
"Swallow the mud, Shangji, the main family reunites and lives in harmony."
"I'm afraid that only the White Crane Immortal is left in her family, but I didn't expect that Ding Lingwei hasn't returned to his hometown for thousands of years, and I'm still worried about it! I knew that the Ding family should have pulled it when it was unlucky, and it was too late to be a favor at this time, with the old man's temperament, it would be fortunate not to implicate me. ”
Thinking of this, Jiang Ruoqing's complexion changed a little, and she almost couldn't even hold back her smile.
The Jin Nu on the side observed the words and knew that his young lady had something on his mind, so he pulled Ding Yuchen aside to coax him and said a lot of good things.
"I don't hide it from you, I met your mother Chen Mingzhu at the beginning, when she was boating on the stream, because a good song moved me, I gave her a pot of jade trees, which is also a handkerchief, I heard that she later married into the Ding family, so she broke off the news."
Ding Yuchen's eyes widened and he listened to Jiang Ruoqing's story.
"Later, your Ding family somehow provoked many people, and I don't know exactly what it was, but I only knew that it involved the Great Liao Ghost Country. Your mother asked the son of the family to take the pot of jade trees and beg to my door, I read that the past was somewhat affectionate, so I asked the dream temple to wish, and in the name of sacrifice, I took in your sister and brother. ”
"God is pitiful, those brainless relatives in your clan can't kill the two of you sooner, so that they can divide the title that should be inherited - remember that it seems that the title of the Ding family can be inherited for two more generations?"
The corners of Jiang Ruoqing's mouth hooked up a good-looking arc, and she sarcastically disdainfully.
"These people are blinded by greed, and they don't know how to live so big. Your father is the pillar of the Ding family, and the entire family has few people except him, and as soon as he falls, the Ding family will be swallowed up by the powerful within a few years, and the county officials will find a few reasons to assign the frontier. Until last year, the last branch of the Ding family, which was able to attack the lord, was also robbed, and more than a dozen members of the family died cleanly. ”
"Your luck is that you met me, otherwise the grave would have been overgrown with grass and trees at this time, and those villains, what means would they not use for the title!"
This is a half-truth, Ding Yuchen admits that this goddess does have the grace of protection, but it is a lie to say that she takes care of her relationship with her mother.
She and her brother had been here for seven years and had not seen this goddess pay much attention, and even today was only the first time they had met alone. If it was really not shallow, why would you have gone earlier?
It must have been something that happened, but Ding Yuchen didn't know what he was doing.
But it seems that it should be a good thing, otherwise with this goddess's temperament, she will not pay attention to her!
Secretly relieved in his heart, Ding Yuchen also smiled, this time it will be much more sincere.
In any case, the other party is indeed kind to her, and now the two sisters and brothers are just a slave here, how can they really work against the master's family.
"The goddess has a great kindness to the servant, and the servant has nothing to repay, and she is willing to serve the goddess for the rest of her life."
Jiang Ruoqing pretended to be displeased and said:
"I know your mother very well, you should call me aunt."
Ding Yuchen hurriedly excused himself and didn't dare to excuse himself.
"How dare a servant ......?"
"That's it, call my aunt!"
“…… Yes, Auntie. ”
Ding Yuchen had to change his words.
So, Jiang Ruoqing was satisfied, and took her hand and talked sweetly, talking about some of her daughter's family and gossip about the private life between ghosts and gods.
Don't look at Jiang Ruoqing's chaotic private life, in fact, she is relatively clean.
Compared with her from a famous family, she has to pay attention to some style.
After the wild mountain spirits in the mountains and wilderness turned into monsters, it was really called chaos.
There is no teaching from superiors, and he does not understand the etiquette of the world, he is illiterate, he does not read, and he judges right and wrong based on likes and dislikes, and often causes all kinds of chaos.
Listening to Jiang Ruoqing tell her about the various chaotic images of the natural spirits between the mountains and rivers after they ascended to the throne of the gods, Ding Yuchen was really eye-opening.
It turns out that someone like Jiang Ruoqing is already quite clean, but she only occasionally picks a few eye-catching little white faces to hook up, after all, she doesn't have a husband.
Many goddesses, on the surface, are goddesses, but in private they are actually similar to the secret prostitutes in the world, they are completely taboo in meat and vegetarians, they only know how to give money, and they actually made a joke about a certain goddess sleeping with them all night......
From the words, Jiang Ruoqing's deep disdain could be heard.
"To know the true face of the gods today......
Somehow, Ding Yuchen thought of a sentence he had heard.
"The wise and the upright become gods after death."
In this way, the earth gods who are rotten to the root as a whole might as well be replaced and let the heroes of the world replace them.
……
When Jiang Ruoqing calculated Ding Yuchen's fortune, she mentioned the name Ding Lingwei, although she didn't pronounce it herself, she thought of it more than once in her heart, and even calculated it to him, which immediately alarmed this immortal who was unwilling to soar in the game world.
"Jiang Ruoqing ......"
Hundreds of miles away, outside the gate of the county seat, a thin old man wearing a cyan Taoist uniform walked in with his hands behind his back.
His mouth was constantly muttering, and his voice was not small, but others seemed to be unable to hear it.
"Hmph, another shameless goddess!"
Jiang Ruoqing calculated him, he had a sense here, Jiang Ruoqing thought of his name again, and then even the idea was quietly sensed by him.
He simply didn't continue to walk, so he changed on the spot, spread his hands, danced, and turned into a snow-white white crane.
In the horrified eyes of everyone, the white crane flapped its wings, flew up to a high pillar on the city gate, and then spoke.
"There are birds, there are birds, Ding Lingwei, go home for a thousand years, and return now. The city is like the old people, why not learn the immortal mounds. ”
After repeating it dozens of times, it shouted when it saw people, and the white crane stopped at the highest place of the city gate tower, and the sensation caused by it spread throughout the county within half an hour.
In the end, even the county magistrate, who had been staying in the county government to enjoy antiques, was alarmed, and personally brought a group of subordinates over to watch the so-called anecdotes.
"This bird is unknown, it speaks to people, it is either a spirit monster or a ghost possessed, left and right, bring me a bow and arrow to shoot it!"
Somehow, the county magistrate felt that he was in an unhappy mood when he saw this white crane, so he simply ordered someone to shoot arrows.
Dozens of feathered arrows shot crookedly, and the white crane easily dodged them.
"Found it!"
The white crane swept over the crowd and landed in a courtyard in the city.
"Isn't that the courtyard of the county honorable?"
Someone in the know next to him exclaimed.
"What? Chase me! ”
At this moment, the white crane flew out again, grabbed a bronze bust at his feet, and fell hard!
"Lake Fairy, Lake Fairy!"
The county commander ran all the way and threw himself to the ground, but he didn't catch it, the idol fell to pieces, and the county commander rolled his eyes on the spot and fainted.
"A little obscene ghost, dare to be a demon in front of Lao Ding?"
The white crane pursed its lips humanely, and then pecked from the air, as if to disperse something invisible, and a mournful woman's cry faintly sounded in the air, and then, it made the onlookers feel cold, as if the temperature had suddenly plummeted by a few degrees.
"The county lord sacrificed to the evil god, and it was broken by the crane."
"Fortunately, the White Crane Immortal pointed out, so it didn't cause a catastrophe, and it is a blessing for the county!"
The county lieutenant is a little gloating, such a big crime, the dismissal of the official is light, I am afraid that the family will still be implicated.
He has always been at odds with the county order, and of course he will be charged to death with one bite at this time.
In full view of everyone, who can easily overturn the case?
If he stumbles over the county order, maybe he can move it up, such as the master book?
"Immortals bless, immortals manifest!"
The scene was chaotic for a while, and the county magistrate was stunned, lost his soul, as if he had lost his spirit.
