Chapter 274: Setting up a situation to make things difficult
They opened this Xiaoxiang Pavilion to make money, naturally they see money, as long as you have money, no matter whether you are in the upper ninth rate or the lower ninth rate, you can enter.
Liu Cheng and I have naturally entered it unimpeded since then, today's Xiaoxiang Pavilion is much more lively than the previous time I came, the sound of the silk and bamboo orchestra is in the ears, and the warblers are singing and dancing, I have never seen this kind of place before, and I naturally look around with curiosity.
There were other things to be busy in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion today, so no one came to entertain us, Liu Cheng came in and began to look around, looking for the traces of the white-skinned king, and saw my eyes wandering between these dancing women, so he said, "You seem to like this kind of place very much?" ”
I laughed and said, "What a great place to be." If there is chaos today, swords and soldiers are everywhere, the country will not be a country, and the people will not be a people, but most of the people who enter here have forgotten their troubles and sorrows, can you find a second such place in the world? ”
Liu Cheng thought for a moment and shook his head, "No." But then he said to me, "A cultivator should have a pure heart and few desires, no matter how good his talent is, he can't withstand his own consumption, and indulging in wine and wealth will not do your cultivation any good." ”
Even at this time, Liu Cheng was still this old antique appearance, and as his apprentice, it was necessary for me to change his concept, so I put my hand on his shoulder and said to him, "Life is too short, so be happy in time." Like you, even if you really cultivate to the realm of immortality in Taoist legends, what's the point? I said and gestured to myself, "In my life, a drunken woman is enough." ”
"......" Liu Cheng was speechless, and then we found a table and sat down, waiting for the appearance of the white-skinned king.
During the period of sitting down and waiting, I also heard from the other people who came in the reason why this Xiaoxiang Pavilion is so lively, it turned out that a well-known celebrity fell in love with a woman named Liu Xiaoyu in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, and the two sides looked at each other and chose to tie the knot on today's day.
The name of the celebrity is Kong Xun, it seems that he is a descendant of Confucius, and this Xiaoxiang Pavilion is a place where dance and ink are made, so it is naturally highly respected, and these people are here to see this grand event today. However, today is just a candle night in the cave room of Kong Xun and Liu Xiaoyu, and they are not here to take people away. Kong Xun promised that when he was recommended to enter the court as an official and became famous, he would definitely come to marry this Liu Xiaoyu into the door.
It is precisely because of this that Liu Xiaoyu happily agreed to this matter, and I heard that this Kong Xun looks like a talent and a well-known celebrity, Liu Xiaoyu is better with him than wandering in this Xiaoxiang Pavilion.
Liu Chengjiang and I listened to it at this time, but after listening to Liu Cheng, he said, "This Kong Xun is Baipijun." ”
I asked him in amazement, "How do you know?" ”
Liu Cheng replied, "There is no one named Kong Xun among the descendants of Confucius. ”
I sighed, and then said, "It's hard for Liu Xiaoyu, and I have to be widowed on the day of the candle night in the cave room." ”
Liu Cheng said, "That's better than losing your life." ”
When I was talking, a few girls carried red wedding dresses and other items into the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, I glanced at it when I passed by, and saw a familiar item, it was the pair of clogs that were thrown by the crow at the door of my house before, the color, ribbon, and the pictures and texts drawn were exactly the same, and I hurriedly reached out and grabbed the girl, and then took out the clogs and asked, "Who is this thing?" ”
Looking at this girl again, I actually knew that it was the girl I bumped into when I came out of the room before, and she recognized me, "It's you, why are you here again?" ”
She is the maid in Zhou Xiao'an's room, doesn't it mean that this thing is Zhou Xiao'an's, that is to say, the Liu Xiaoyu who is going to get married today is Zhou Xiao'an, and when he understood it, he put the clogs back, and then said to her, "Go and discuss with your young lady, let her stop marrying today, and I will help her find a better person." ”
The maid sneered, "Sir, you're talking about yourself, right?" It's not good, my young lady is getting married today, and you're a step late. ”
After the maid finished speaking, my conversation with her attracted the attention of the people around me, and when I saw that I was dressed like a Taoist priest, I naturally laughed, and I was a little embarrassed and sat back again.
Liu Cheng glanced at me and asked lightly, "Do you know this Liu Xiaoyu?" ”
I sighed, "An old man." ”
"Your friend?" Liu Cheng rarely gossiped once.
I was speechless, I didn't know whether this Liu Xiaoyu was Zhou Xiaoan's incarnation or Zhou Xiaoan's previous life, and I didn't know how to answer, so I casually said nonsense, "My righteous daughter ......"
This time it was Liu Chengman's turn to look at me speechlessly, probably doubting my age, then Liu Xiaoyu didn't look much younger than me, the age gap was not big, at most he was commensurate with his peers.
I said briefly, "The Tao does not speak of longevity, I have been cultivating for more than 2,000 years, and I have recognized many righteous sons and daughters, but I often change my appearance, and they can't recognize me, is there a problem?" "It's the Eastern Han Dynasty, and it's been about 2,000 years since the era I lived in.
Liu Cheng looked at me undeniably, stopped talking, and was silent for a while before he said, "I thought that immortals who had cultivated for more than 2,000 years should be immortal wind bones, and their behavior should be calm and steady, and they should not be frivolous and impetuous. Without waiting for me to interject, he added, "But since it is your righteous daughter, I will make a proper arrangement for her after I kill her husband." ”
"Huh." I don't laugh.
Time passed minute by minute, and when it was almost dark, there was finally some movement, and the women in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion danced in a group, and the orchestral vocal music played.
I only heard a 'Mr. Kong has arrived', turned his head to look, and saw a handsome man with a white face who looked like a scholar walking in outside the Xiaoxiang Pavilion in a happy suit, and as soon as he came in, it naturally caused a sensation among the people in the museum.
Liu Cheng and I looked over at the same time, and saw that there was a black gas floating around on this Kong Xun's head, and he was really the white-skinned king.
At the same time, upstairs Liu Xiaoyu also appeared in front of everyone wearing a phoenix crown and a xiaxia veil, everyone looked stupid again, maybe the etiquette of the Xiaoxiang Pavilion was different from the outside, Liu Xiaoyu did not cover her face, I saw that her hands were like soft wattles, her skin was like clotted fat, her collar was like a grub, her teeth were like a rhinoceros, and her head was like a moth eyebrow, which was so beautiful that she couldn't be seen.
I didn't think Zhou Xiao'an was so good-looking, but this time he was stunned, even a person like Liu Cheng, who was dedicated to studying Taoism, was a little distracted, and everyone below looked at it in a daze, and the one who looked the most stunned was the white-skinned gentleman.
"Can't let this demon defile her." I said.
Liu Cheng also shook the magic sword in his hand, his eyes froze, "He didn't have a chance to go up this floor." ”
Although it is a marriage this time, there is no matchmaker, and there is no banquet, only Liu Xiaoyu above and this Kong Xun stand looking at each other, Kong Xun looked at Liu Xiaoyu in a daze, Liu Xiaoyu looked at Kong Xun and was quite shy, I finally understood why Zhou Xiao'an had a red face after having that dream.
I have to admit that this white-skinned gentleman is really good-looking.
After watching for a while, Liu Cheng was about to make a move, Liu Xiaoyu opened his mouth and said, "If there is chaos today, there are often rogue robbers, in order to test whether you are a Lang or a Kou, I have three levels, the first level is poetry, the second level is sword dancing, and the third level is wine competition, if you pass all three levels, I will let you enter my boudoir, if you can't pass ......"
Before Liu Xiaoyu finished speaking, everyone began to coax.
I was a little puzzled, "What is she doing here?" Everyone is in front of you, do you still have to test whether it is Lang or Kou? ”
Liu Cheng shook his head and said, "It's not that the test is Lang or Kou, this woman is extraordinary, the first and second tests are his Wen Taowu strategy, Wen Taowu has passed the test, and he will have the opportunity to enter the court as an official in the future, and only in this way, the success that this white-skinned jun promised to her will be guaranteed to marry her later." And this third level is to test his sincerity and see if this white-skinned gentleman really wants to marry her. ”
I stared at Yoo Seung in amazement, and wondered how he knew this.
After hearing this, the white-skinned gentleman smiled slightly, bowed his hand and said, "It's up to you." ”
Liu Xiaoyu said, "The guests present today are all knowledgeable people, you can go against them in poetry, as long as you win them." ”
When Bai Pijun heard this, he smiled in his chest, "Okay." ”
I smiled when I heard this, and muttered, "Can you compare to me, the poems and pairs of the Han Dynasty for the next two thousand years, I don't believe you can answer them." ”
Liu Cheng glanced at me, "You're going to make things difficult for him?" ”
I said yes, and Liu Xiaoyu said, "From now on, the sword dancers are also the people present, as long as you shoot down the swords in their hands, you will win." ”
"Good!" Bai Pijun still nodded.
This time it was Liu Cheng's turn to shake his head, and I saw him lift the long sword in his hand.
