Chapter 159: Reunion
Ziyi arranged for Penghu Immortal to look for Qixia, and he and Xuannu were not idle, so they searched everywhere in the capital.
On this day, Qixia went to the street to buy things, walking on the street, and when she looked up, she saw Ziyi and a beautiful woman walking around the street, the woman was holding a bag of candy in her hand, and she was feeding one to his mouth.
Seeing Ziyi open his mouth and eat the candy, the two of them whispered something again.
It seems that what Qing Huo said is true, he is really married, and this beautiful woman is probably the Nine Heavens Xuannu.
What are they doing in the Great Liang Country?
Newlywed Yan'er, are you here to play?
Qixia wanted to step forward to speak, but she felt that she didn't know what to say, she had become like this, and it was better not to let him see it.
Now that his ending is so happy, why do you have to live more lives β’β’β’β’β’β’ right and wrong.
Listening to Yao Bei talk about what happened in the Demon Palace, he must have thought that he was dead, so he died to marry this girl!
Thinking like this and feeling self-inflicted, maybe, people just forgot about you.
It's better not to see it, Qixia felt a sour feeling in her heart, and hurried past them.
Zi Yi saw a woman in coarse white clothes and pockmarked face walking past him, he glanced at it unconsciously, and his heart puffed slightly, and he immediately regained his composure, not realizing that this was the person he was looking for.
After looking for a while, there was no news from Penghu Immortal, and Zi Yi was infinitely anxious in his heart.
He felt that Qixia was nearby, not far from him, but he couldn't find it, why? Where is she?
Alone in the inn, he drank alcohol, and the Xuannu came back from outside to buy him some dishes to accompany the wine.
A paper bag of peanuts, a lotus leaf wrapped sauce beef, another box of smoked ham, a bunch of fresh lotus pods.
She put her things on the table, sat down and persuaded him, "You've been so anxious lately, you've been looking for so long, why can't you wait?" β
"Didn't I tell you, before entering Beijing, I made a divination, and the hexagram said that this painting is in Kyoto, and it won't be wrong! Don't you believe me? β
Zi Yi poured a big sip of wine, slammed the wine jug on the table, and said drunkly: "I think she deliberately made it impossible for me to find her, otherwise we should have been together a long time ago, she just avoided me, she just avoided β’β’β’β’β’β’me, she still avoided me!" After all these years, she still avoids me! β
Xuannu's eyes turned red all of a sudden, he was so affectionate to this woman, he didn't know that his heart hurt like a knife!
But I have to accompany him to find it every day, in fact, deep down in my heart, I don't want him to find itβ’β’β’β’β’β’
What a cruel joke!
She quietly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her fingers, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, from tomorrow onwards, we will still look separately, so that the chance is better." I'll draw a few more pictures in a while, and we'll take the paintings and look for them, and we'll definitely find them. β
Ziyi nodded, "Xuannu, thank you for your hard work, I will remember you for the rest of my life." β
With this sentence is enough, Xuannu nodded slightly, and turned back to find ink and paper.
On the second day, Ziyi came to the street, holding the picture of the goddess drawn by the Xuannu in his hand and ran to many places.
After wandering around all morning, no one paid attention to him, and he was so anxious by the sun that he could hear the voices of several women talking overhead.
One said: "Sister Ruohua, look at that person, is he stupid, standing under the sun on a hot day?!" β
"It's still a handsome son, or let's call him up for tea."
Another giggled and said, "You nymphomaniac! It's just that I can't see a good-looking man! Yo, people still have a painting in their hands, are they looking for someone? β
A woman was silent, just staring at Ziyi blankly.
When Zi Yi heard these words, she was so ashamed that her face turned red, knowing that this was a brothel, and the few people who spoke were all prostitutes from the Qinglou, so she didn't pay attention to it, and actually stood at the bottom of the hall.
Hurriedly scrolled the picture in his hand, and wanted to stand in a different place, when suddenly a woman upstairs raised his voice to call him, it was the person who looked at him.
He looked upstairs and saw a good-looking woman beckoning to him.
"Did the girl call me?" He asked aloud.
The woman nodded and said, "Yes, dare to ask Childe if he is looking for someone or a painting?" Can you show me? β
"In this β’β’β’β’β’β’, I am looking for people and paintings." Zi Yi groaned.
The women on the side shouted, "Come up! Come up! Come up and speak! β
"Sister Ruohua, you really have you! Didn't you have a crush on himβ’β’β’β’β’β’ heheβ’β’β’β’β’β’ hehe! Several people laughed and played with each other.
Ziyi was helpless, her embarrassed face was red and white, and she wanted to go up!
Maybe this woman has really seen Qixia. I went upstairs with the painting.
The woman named Ruohua looked at the painting carefully and said, "The painting looks like a portrait, but it's still far from it." β
Ziyi was surprised, grabbed her hand and asked, "Have you seen Qixia?" Where is she? Tell me! β
Ruohua was caught by him, and suddenly blushed, and said angrily: "You are β’β’β’β’β’β’, why did you grab someone's wrist?!" Is this woman's name Qixia? I've never seen her, but I've seen a painting like this! β
Ziyi hurriedly let go of his hand: "That's right!" Right! It's a painting! I'm looking for this painting! β
Who is this woman? She is Gu Mengbai's daughter Gu Yuexin's personal maid Ruohua.
At that time, she was beaten by Gu Mengbai and his wife and kicked out of Gu's mansion, she was an orphan with no father and mother, and she had no relatives, so she had to wander on the street.
Later, she was abducted and sold to Qinglou by traffickers, and then she became a prostitute.
Shi Cai was sitting upstairs enjoying the coolness, and when he heard his companion making fun of Ziyi, he glanced at it and noticed that the painting he was holding in his hand was exactly the same as the one in Gu's mansion back then, so he hurriedly called out to him.
"This painting is now in the hands of a poor Xiucai named Ji Zhongda," she and the young lady went to return the painting back then, if the painting remembers clearly, "That Ji Zhongda I remember that his home is in Puliu Lane in the west of the city, a large courtyard, and there is a well in the southeast corner." β
"Okay, thank you, girl!" Zi Yi hurriedly slammed her to the ground, "I'll go look for it, if I find it, I will definitely thank the girl!" "It's gone.
The people in this brothel were stunned, this man turned out to be a god!
A group of flowery women and the old bustard all knelt down and kowtowed, praying repeatedly, and Ruohua was even more shocked in his heart.
But it was said that Zi Yi came to the west of the city as soon as he slipped through the smoke, and it didn't take much to find Ji Sheng's house.
In the courtyard, a pock-faced lady was drying clothes there, and a scholar came out of the house with a hat in his hand.
Probably afraid that she would be sunburned, the scholar personally put on the hat for the lady.
It should be a small two, Zi Yi thought.
Why is this pock-faced woman so familiar?
He knocked on the door, but it was untethered and hidden, and Qixia came to open it.
All at once.
Hearing that Qixia didn't speak, Ji Sheng also came over and asked, "Who is it?" β
Seeing that it was a son with a beautiful appearance, he immediately smiled and said, "Who is Brother Tai looking for?" β
Zi Yi glanced at the numb-faced woman, who was wearing a gauze hat and stood there in a deep voice.
He hugged his fists at Ji Sheng and said, "Dare to ask, is this Brother Ji's home Ji Zhongda?" β
"I am. Is there anything wrong with you β’β’β’β’β’β’? Ji Zhongda had never seen him, and he had some doubts in his heart, he still remembered the incident of being imprisoned vividly, and he couldn't help but be a little resistant to strangers.
Zi Yi smiled, took out a piece of paper from his arms, and unfolded it, it turned out to be a copy of the goddess!
Ji Zhongda's face changed immediately, and he was about to speak, when the little lady next to him said in a deep voice: "There used to be a painting like this at home, but it was later snatched by Jingzhao Yin Gu Mengbai, and I heard that it was a tribute to the emperor." β
Yes!
Ziyi was frightened for a while, and went around, but it was still this circle!
He couldn't help but feel like the world was spinning.
After standing for a long time, the couple did not let him in, so they had to stand at the door and talk.
Zi Yi asked again: "Dare to ask Brother Tai who gave you this painting?" β
This question is abrupt, and ordinary people can't help but be unhappy.
Ji Zhongda leaned over slightly, and said with a polite smile: "One year I accidentally met a Taoist friend, she is an immortal, and she gave me this painting. β
"Then β’β’β’β’β’β’, can I ask againβ’β’β’β’β’β’ where is this fellow Daoist from? Where to practice? β
"She's from the sea." Ji Sheng replied.
That's it, the painting was thrown on the sea, and it was normal for the fairy family in the sea to pick it up.
There's nothing to ask, it's this circle, the painting was thrown from the demon world to the sea, and from the sea to the hands of the scholar of the Great Liang Kingdom, and in the hands of this person, it was snatched into the hands of the emperor, and from the emperor Qixia broke the painting, and since then β’β’β’β’β’β’ has not been found.
Zi Yi staggered out of Ji's house, feeling that his mental strength in the past few years seemed to be hollowed out, and he no longer had the strength to look for paintings and Qixia, he was about to β’β’β’β’β’β’go crazy with anxiety.
Qixia watched him walk away blankly, she didn't want to recognize him, but now that she is like this, how can she explain to him, she really can't say it clearly!
How did you think that you could still see him in this life?
thought that from now on, there will be no intersection with each other, he has already married a family, and he is also the identity he is now, with a husband, in-laws, children, β’β’β’β’β’β’, will it make waves again when we see each other again? !
After thinking about it all night, Qixia couldn't sleep, and she thought it would be better to move to the mountains as soon as possible.
The next day, he told Ji Shengyi that Ji Zhongda didn't sleep well because of the strange person he met yesterday, and when he heard that Qixia was going to move, he quickly nodded and agreed.
