Chapter 6, Drunken Fish (5) Oiran. Jiang Shuying
The Oiran competition will end tomorrow night, at this moment Ye Xinyou is sitting on the high platform to watch the beauty, the temples are stacked high, the pearls and emeralds on it are dotted, the clothes are light like flowing water, and the clouds and shadows echo.
Refreshments are available on the table, in the case that the guests do not explain their preferences, there are both salty and sweet, sweet jujube flower cake, sesame cake, osmanthus cake, salty fried crispy meat, pretzels, orchid beans, two plates of peanuts outside, and a plate of melon seeds.
Looking at the beauties of this day, Ye Xinyou can be said to have a lot of knowledge, it turns out that the real person is so much better looking than the portrait, at first glance, it is just some simple actions, but under their own combination, it looks smooth and beautiful.
"If only I could bring them all home and raise them." I couldn't turn the melancholy mood of the beauty into an appetite when I brought it back and admired it one by one, and a few plates of dim sum were eaten clean, and a piece of fruit shell fell on the ground.
"If you eat out like this, you're afraid you'll be kicked out." A familiar voice sounded behind her, really, it wasn't like she hadn't eaten like this outside, and she had been discovered......
When Ye Xinyou turned around, there was still half a handful of unfinished melon seeds in her hand, she looked at Linghu Feimo for a long time, and a bold idea suddenly rose in her mind.
"See what I do? When will your problem of eating things with shells being littered be changed? Linghu Feimo sat down on the side.
"I won't change it, I can put it away at any time anyway, besides, it tastes the best way to eat it this way." Ye Xinyou retorted, put down the melon seeds in his hand, propped his cheek on the table with one hand and looked at him and said, "You are so good-looking, if you dress up like them, it will look even better." ”
Linghu Feimo glanced at her strangely: "It's been so long, you still can't even tell the difference between men and women?" ”
"But," Ye Xinyu pondered, she could still distinguish between men and women, "but you are good-looking." ”
"Aren't those people down there good-looking?" Linghu Feimo asked rhetorically.
Ye Xinyou looked down, and after careful identification, he still shook his head affirmatively, "It's good-looking, but it's not as good-looking as you." "Her little brother is the best-looking.
"Do you see the beauty on the left in willow blue?" Linghu Feimo pointed a folding fan in his hand, facing a beauty who had just stepped down.
"Do you fancy her?" Ye Xinyou ignored the grease that would dirty his hands, and peeled the plate of orchid beans again.
"I just heard outside that she's going to be the Oiran this time." Linghu is not Modao.
"This morning's gamble also said that she would be an oiran, and I also pressed the treasure, is it true?" Ye Xinyou's face was overjoyed, and he was going to make money.
"How much did you press?" Linghu Feimo asked, "You can double it again, I just saw the right elder of the Xiandu Sect talking to people, and the accuracy of this news is absolutely reliable." ”
"Ahh Ye Xinyou exclaimed, and with a shake of his hand, the bean shell in his palm naturally fell to the ground, "But it's already sealed." ”
Linghu Feimo looked at her pretended movements and didn't speak, trying her best to throw the shell to the ground, right......
"Who is that right elder, so powerful?" After eating a plate of orchid beans, Ye Xinyou took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands, and poured another cup of honey tea to drink.
"Like Chu Lan, the Treasure Tianhua Scroll has vibrations, but the body can't be found."
"Huh?" Ye Xinyou showed her true emotions this time, "No, there's another ......"
"There was another thing that came out of their conversation, the fish demon."
"What fish? Is it tasty? ”
Linghu Feimo smiled, "Do you remember the book "Naturalist Chronicles" that I bought from Ye Yancheng, the cold spring sand fish, produced in the sea of the great light star, a strange fish that can survive in the desert, is a fish at dawn, and at night it turns into a human form and goes ashore, likes to suck the blood of young girls, but its face is ugly, so it will be dressed in a human skin." ”
"Wouldn't I be in danger then?" Ye Xinyou looked worried, "Little brother, you must protect me." Before Linghu Feimo could say anything, she spoke again: "But that fish is not good-looking, will it not be delicious?" ”
"It's really hard to eat, the meat is like wood, it's jerky. However, there is an Arowana in the treasure Tianhua roll, which is delicious and is an excellent cooking material. ”
"You're not going to tell me they're a fish, are you?" Ye Xinyou asked tentatively.
"That's right."
..
Meng Qiong rinsed her mouth and cleaned her face before coming to the table, first picked up an egg cake, picked up a piece of bean curd with chopsticks, skillfully put it on the cake and crushed it and wiped it off, and then picked up a chopsticks cut very fine shredded meat cabbage and sandwiched it in the cake, chewed it and ate it slowly.
He drank the porridge and ate the cake, but his mouth still kept saying: "This porridge is not boiled well, the heat is too big, the beans are too badly cooked, and there is no taste at all." The cake is also too soft and chewy, and it doesn't taste good enough at all. ”
"You can't stop your picky mouth when you eat." Although the Meng family's strength in Ye Yan City is almost dominant, they never bully others, and they are also the family of honors and etiquette, how can they teach Meng Qiong such an outlier.
"I'm only so casual in front of you, Xiaolan, symbolizing that you and I are close, don't mind."
His words were sour: "I don't know who was drunk last night." ”
"Speaking of which, Xiaolan, I want to move in with you. After all, I'm alone, and I like to get drunk, so if no one takes care of me, it's miserable. ”
"Don't make trouble, I'm with Yuebai, he's timid, it's too crowded for three people in one room."
"Then let him stay with me, and let Mink accompany him." However, the mink was afraid of water, so he didn't bring it this time.
"No, I'd better stay with you." If Meng Qiong's red-eyed and white-bellied one makes a fuss, it will be even crazier than the master.
"How cute it is, you people, you always misunderstand it." Meng Qiong said disgusted, but ate the meal cleanly, and leaned back on the back of the chair with satisfaction, "Xiaolan, you are always so considerate, are you in love with me, don't you like me, don't worry, both men and women in our family like it, it would be better if you married and could have a daughter, I recently got a good piece of material, just sewing a small dress for her to wear." ”
"Shut up, or do you want me to pour you another glass of water?"
"Xiaolan, you are too fierce......"
..
The candidate for the Oiran has been decided, and in the wing room, Jiang Shuying is dressing up in the mirror alone.
She has half of her blood from the sea of sand, she is born with white skin, a pair of slender eyebrows, a high nose bridge and pupils as deep as the blue sea, and her usual dress is just to make herself more similar to the girls in other places.
In the mirror, a figure appears behind a curtain that hangs to the ground.
Jiang Shuying got up, folded his hands at his waist, bent his knees and bowed his head, and said respectfully: "See Elder Right." ”
The right elder in formal clothes raised his hand and signaled that she didn't need to be polite, "The person who received the reward order half a month ago was Meng Qiong. ”
"Is it the Meng family in Ye Yan City, the Meng Gongzi in the fire feather cloak?"
"That's right, with Meng Qiong's character, you must come out on top, and your task is to kill him after you get the reward order."
"It's just Elder, shouldn't we follow the bounty order to find the person behind the curtain for you? Kill Meng Qiong, I'm afraid of ......"
"You just do what I tell you, and I will arrange a fake death for you to get out afterwards, after understanding this matter, you will be the inner disciple of Xiandu, and you can pass on my mantle."
"But ......" Jiang Shuying was about to say more, but was forcibly interrupted,
"Think of your dead mother."
"Yes......"
..
On the evening of August 16, the moon hung high in the sky, and a round reflection fell on the calm lake.
On the open-air platform on the left side of the fourth floor, Zhang Zhang's desk is neatly arranged, and all the people present are young cultivators.
Chu Lan and Qi Yuebai had just sat down on the seats on the left side, when they saw Meng Qiong in the seat next to them greeting him: "Xiao Lan, what a coincidence, you and I are really fateful." ”
"I just saw you swap bamboo sticks with someone."
"Huh?" Meng Qiong's smile froze on her face and slowly disappeared.
"Little brother, your dress is so special." After the voice came to him, Meng Qiong turned around and saw Ye Xinyou, who kicked him hard last night and was still dressed as a man at the moment.
"It's you, little boy, do you want to eat peanuts?" Meng Qiong didn't mean to hold grudges at all, but she couldn't help but quip.
Hearing him ask, Ye Xinyou lowered his voice and said, "There are a lot of people here, I'll eat secretly when I go back to the room and no one is there." Then he threw peanut shells all over the place.
This little girl is really interesting, Meng Qiong also lowered her voice, but Chu Lan, who was sitting next to him only three feet away, could hear it clearly: "Do you like my dress?" If you like it, I'll give it to you. ”
Listening to Meng Qiong's words, Ye Xinyou happily stretched out his hand, the crimson cloth was not smooth, and there was a slight unevenness to the touch, but he could feel the full aura contained in it, although this dress cost a lot, it was not transmitted with the slightest malice, which made people feel very comfortable.
Meng Qiong really lowered her voice and spoke to Ye Xinyou this time: "The one sitting on your right, dressed in white, seems to be going to the funeral, who is it?" You've been staring at me since just now. ”
"Huh?" Ye Xinyou was puzzled, and then realized, and also whispered to Meng Qiong: "It's my family's little ...... It's my brother, it's good-looking, it's white like a piece of tender tofu, and I want to take a bite when I look at it. ”
This description is really, extremely appropriate, it just so happens that he is wearing white again.
"Also," Ye Xinyou continued to bite his ear, "You said yes, the Oiran is really the girl who is sparse shadow, and I also pressed the treasure when they opened the gambling game, and finally divided a lot of things." ”
Bet? How did he not know this? Meng Qiong turned his gaze to Chu Lan and asked, "Brother Chu, have you participated in the gambling game of the Oiran bet?" ”
At this time, knowing how to use a normal name, Chu Lan chuckled: "I participated, there are too many people who don't believe in you, so I made a lot of money." ”
"Why didn't you tell me when you came to deliver food?" Meng Qiong's face was unspeakably sad and indignant, and she felt that she had missed a very interesting game.
"Because, by that time, the gamble was over." Chu Lan explained in a good mood, "However, the relationship between you and me is 'extraordinary', and I will share it with you." ”
