Chapter 16 The Night of Ten Thousand Flowers, Life Meets
The sun is blazing red, the heat wave is rolling to the earth, and the endless enthusiasm is full of the earth.
As soon as he returned to the house, Mu Yi saw a little maid with a weird smile on her face walking towards her.
"The general has returned to the house!" the little maid turned around and shouted to the house, and went straight to Mu Yi, who had just gotten out of the carriage.
"What's going on?" Mu Yiqi said. It's no surprise that this inexplicable performance of this person I saw today.
"Nothing. After taking the things that Mu Yi bought by the way, the little maid immediately turned around and ran towards the house.
Ignoring the little maid, Mu Yi swung the hem of his clothes, and then walked into the house.
As soon as he entered the hall, a cold voice came into Mu Yi's ears, which made Mu Yi shake.
"I heard Xiu'er say that you went to Shangguan Dushuai's mansion?"
When I looked up, it was not surprising, but it was Gu Zhiyun.
Today, Gu Zhiyun has changed into a man's outfit again, dressed in a graceful manner, although it can be seen that it is a daughter at a glance, but it also has a unique charm.
"It was a letter that Xiao Shuai asked me to hand over to Shangguan Dushuai. Mu Yi replied casually.
"What kind of letter, so mysterious and secretive? Major General Lao Jiamu personally sent the message?" Gu Zhiyun said.
"Today is the annual Wanhua Festival, I will take you to the street to walk around and see the customs of the sister capital. Gu Zhiyun didn't wait for Mu Yi to answer and said to himself.
"I can't ask for it. "The beautiful woman invited, of course Mu Yi couldn't refuse, and Mu Yi himself was also very interested in this so-called Ten Thousand Flowers Festival, as for whether he was interested in the thousands of ladies to be married in the sister capital or for other interests, only Mu Yi knew.
Soon, the two came to the street under the sister capital peak.
The streets were bustling with pedestrians, so it was not lively, compared to when Mu Yi first entered the sister capital, the number of people far exceeded countless times. The crowd was enough to allow people to walk away, and as far as the eye could see, there were figures everywhere.
On both sides of the street, in addition to the shops that have been open all the time, there are now countless small merchants and vendors who set up stalls, and all kinds of goods are dazzling, making people overwhelmed.
Mu Yi and the two of them crowded in the middle of the street, surging forward with the flow of people.
"It's nothing, isn't it just a little more than ordinary people? It's the Ten Thousand Flowers Festival, but I didn't even see a single flower. Mu Yi asked Gu Zhiyun beside him.
"What are you anxious about? Turn the corner in front of you, and it's the real cherry blossom avenue. Do you want to see tweed or do you want to see flowers?" read the words behind the flowers, Gu Zhiyun said mercilessly sarcastically.
"Of course, I want to see the flowers. Mu Yi said stupidly.
Although it looked like it was only a stretch of road, it took a long time to reach the avenue of cherry blossom viewing that Gu Zhiyun said, after all, there were too many pedestrians on the street, and it was impossible to break a road on the street like on the battlefield.
As soon as he approached, Mu Yi smelled all kinds of soft and pure floral fragrances in his nose, and the sultry aroma on the tip of his nose was very attractive.
What catches the eye is the purple and red of the street, a bunch, a handful, a piece of various flowers competing for beauty, different shapes, colorful, confusing people's eyes, but also drunk people's nose.
Walking on the avenue of flower appreciation, there are clusters of rare flowers of various colors on both sides, smelling the intoxicating fragrance in the air, Mu Yi is also an eye-opener.
Glimpsing Gu Zhiyun was also happy, lingering on the flower stalls on the side of the street, and only then did she show her true colors as a woman.
Mu Yi's heart moved, walked to a flower stall, spent a few silver coins to buy a bouquet of flowers from the stall owner, and handed it to Gu Zhiyun.
With a look of surprise, Gu Zhiyun, who was mixed with a faint shyness, reached out and took the flowers handed by Mu Yi.
"How do you know I like violet?" Gu Zhiyun asked sideways as she smelled the refreshing fragrance.
"In the army, I saw that your general's flag was embroidered with violet vines, and on your general's order, there was also a violet engraved on it, so..."
"Then what do you mean by giving me this bouquet of flowers?" staring at Mu Yi directly, Gu Zhiyun asked without hesitation.
Mu Yi was stunned, not daring to look directly at Gu Zhiyun, avoiding Gu Zhiyun's gaze and looking at both sides.
"It's not interesting, it's just a gift between friends, don't think too much about it. Mu Yi said with a humble heart.
However, Gu Zhiyun still didn't intend to let Mu Yi go, and still looked at him boldly, but he didn't say a word.
Mu Yi coughed dryly, feeling Gu Zhiyun's gaze, and secretly scolded himself in his heart, and he didn't know which tendon was twitched, making such a confusion, but was this really confused? In fact, Mu Yi didn't know.
Finally, Mu Yi couldn't stand Gu Zhiyun's gaze staring at him like this, and opened his mouth again to provoke the topic.
"Actually... This one... With such a beautiful woman like you, with such cultivation and such merits in the army, it stands to reason that there should be many suitors among the sisters, right?"
Gu Zhiyun snorted coldly, and finally stopped staring at Mu Yi, and moved his gaze to the violet in his hand.
"You may not know that women like me who fight and kill on the battlefield are the least popular among the sisters. The men of the sister capital like gentle and virtuous women. ”
After that came silence, a long silence.
Mu Yi didn't say a word again, and Gu Zhiyun didn't speak again, and there was a tacit understanding between the two to maintain this atmosphere. Sometimes, something doesn't require a lot of words, and everything is not spoken.
As the flow of people continued to move forward, Mu Yi and the two didn't know how long they had been walking, but fortunately, there were countless flowers and novelties along the way, attracting the attention of the two, and they did not feel tired of fatigue.
In the blink of an eye, the lights are on.
The real Ten Thousand Flowers Festival really began at this time.
found a restaurant facing the street, Mu Yi and Gu Zhiyun walked into it slowly, walked to the third floor, and found a seat by the window.
The two sat down, asked for a sumptuous table of wine and food, and began to fill their already empty stomachs.
At this time, there are not many drinkers in the restaurant, only a few tables sporadically, and most of them are a man and a woman, obviously a couple or husband and wife.
"To the Ten Thousand Flowers Festival!" Mu Yi raised his glass to salute. I'm really happy today, I haven't had such a good time in a long time.
"To the Ten Thousand Flowers Festival!" Gu Zhiyun also raised his glass.
The cup of the two is filled with Kira wine produced in the sister state of Rongdu. This kind of wine presents a faint green, jade like jade, drink in the mouth, sweet and pure, enter the abdomen, cool and pleasant, is very cherished by the lady of the town.
In fact, on today's Wanhua Festival, most of the major restaurants in the sister capital specialize in Qiluo wine, adding color to the Wanhua Festival.
There was no sense of coldness in the dark night. The brightly lit streets and alleys of the sister capital were filled with crowds, and the fiery enthusiasm soon drowned out this night of thousands of flowers.
Looking out of the window, the entire street was filled with men and women, mostly young people.
During the day, it is the Ten Thousand Flowers Festival, and the people of the city enjoy the flowers and parade through the streets, but at night, the Ten Thousand Flowers Festival belongs to thousands of young unmarried men and women in the sister capital.
Energetic young people are at the age of the beginning of love. It is said that which girl is not pregnant with spring, and which teenager is not attracted by beautiful women.
On the streets, young men and women dressed in different clothes shuttled through the crowd, looking left and right, looking for their favorite person.
Occasionally, some men and women wear masks of various colors, the masks are not big, only covering the upper part of the face, half covering and half covering, revealing but not revealing, which is very sought after.
Cross the street and look out into the river.
Bright lanterns float above the calm surface of the lake. These lanterns are lowered by a couple from the upper reaches of the river, and float with the current all the way downward, outlining the wide waterways of the river.
There are also exquisite painted boats on the river, and on the bow of the boat, you can see a pair of young men and women sitting quietly, leaning on each other, whispering, and grinding their ears and temples.
Retracting their gaze from the window, Mu Yi and the others were relatively speechless, just bowing their heads and quietly tasting wine.
In fact, Mu Yi was also very entangled in his heart. If you stay in this restaurant all night to drink and enjoy the scenery with Gu Zhiyun, it will not be reasonable, but if you let the two of you join the carnival crowd below, it is a bit nondescript.
Time is passing quietly, and the night of the Ten Thousand Flowers Festival is gradually moving towards **.
Helpless, Mu Yi had no choice but to leave the restaurant with Gu Zhiyun, walk into the street below, and join in the unprecedented joy of the entire sister.
The night is gradually deepening, but in the night sky tonight, the bright moon is still hanging high, and the bright moon is distributed in the night sky, adding a beautiful artistic conception to the entire Wanhua Festival.
It lasted until late at night, and the crowd on the street still did not show any intention of retreating, but concentrated more on the main streets.
However, Mu Yi and Gu Zhiyun have already embarked on the road back home.
Since the two walked side by side on the street all day, the passing men and women only glanced at the two of them, and then continued their journey to find beauty.
The night was already very deep, and after walking through a few streets, the pedestrians on the streets were no longer visible, and the empty streets were deserted, in stark contrast to the fiery streets.
The two of them didn't say a word, just walked quietly to their carriage.
There's a T-junction ahead.
Mu Yi and the two gradually walked from the T-shaped leg to the intersection.
The night was quiet, without any sound, and occasionally laughter could be heard in the distance.
The only sound of the crisp footsteps of two people on the entire street was there.
Closer, closer.
Coming to the T-junction, Mu Yi slowly stopped, and Gu Zhiyun also stopped. With Mu Yi's gaze, he looked at the three figures standing on the corner of the street.
Without making a sound, Mu Yi's right hand was slowly raised and placed on the back of the green scales on his waist.
Gu Zhiyun didn't ask any questions, and put his hand on the sharp blade at his waist.
The quiet street is quiet, and the figure of a T-junction pulls out five long black figures under the reflection of the street lights, intersecting at the corner of the street, blending into one.
Dark clouds gradually loomed over the bright full moon in the night sky. The whole street is getting darker and darker.
A breeze swept through the corner of the street, disturbing the unmoving wine flags on the street.
The sound of the tumult echoed through the silent streets.
Silent tonight, woe is not a single line tonight.
Tonight is the night of ten thousand flowers.
