Chapter 20: Huanqin
As the night deepened, everyone celebrating on the deck had returned to their respective positions, but the bustle in the shipyard continued, and the soft piano music could be faintly heard:
"Knock knock~"
"Twelve jade towers in the sky, three thousand laurels in the middle of the moon ~ blowing through the phoenix strings in the middle of the night, startling the sand gulls to fly away......"
β¦β¦
Outside the room at the back, Night Terror quietly closed the door, heard the clear voice in the distance, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook up a smile, and turned around and walked towards the hall in front of the ship.
In the dead of night, there weren't many people on the deck, only She Long and Wound were doing their duty and patrolling in circles around the deck.
The impact caused by the Night Terror Hall Wine Pond Meat Forest was not good, and there was no intention of showing his head, but when he was about to walk to the hall, he found that at the front of the deck, there was a man and a bird.
Zheyunli sat on the edge of the deck with her legs dangling, holding a fishing rod and fishing, but looking at the side of her face, she was a little absent-minded, and she didn't know if she was thinking about a lifelong event.
The bird that was dragged out should have eaten at this time, lying next to it and looking under the water, and cooing twice from time to time, which should be a reminder that there are fish in the poached egg water.
Seeing this, Night Terror Hall flew and landed on the deck first, quietly walked behind Yun Li, first turned his head to look at his cheeks, found that Yun Li did not react, and whispered:
"Hey."
"Hiss~......"
Zhi Yunli was looking at the river in a daze, and didn't notice that someone was coming behind him, and suddenly there was a movement in his ears, and he shrank his neck in fright, and quickly turned around, and found that he had a handsome cheek in front of him, and he breathed a sigh of relief:
"Scared the hell out of me...... Shocking cousin, are you awake?! β
Night Terror smiled and caught the bird that was about to kick him:
"Just woke up for a while. Why don't you go to the house and have fun together? β
Zhe Yunli obviously had something on his mind, and when he heard this, he turned his eyes to the river and said casually:
"When he was hungry, he caught two fish for him to eat. Why didn't Cousin go over? β
Night Terror Hall sat with his back to the deck fence: "Just come and have a look." I have already told your master about the proposal. β
οΌ
Zhe Yunli's expression stiffened slightly, sat up a few straighter, and asked knowingly:
"What did Master say?"
"Say yes, let me take good care of you in the future, and I will handle the marriage when I go back."
ββ¦β¦β
Zhi Yunli blinked, feeling that the atmosphere seemed a little strange, and thought for a while:
"Oh, yes......"
Night Terror looked at Yun Li's somewhat evasive eyes: "Then you are my fiancΓ©e now." β
"FiancΓ©e?"
Zhe Yunli obviously hadn't accepted such a big change, and glanced at the Night Terror Hall:
"The master only agreed verbally, and he was not engaged to be hired, so it shouldn't be counted, right?"
Night Terror thought about it, so he chuckled:
"That's right, let's wait until we get back."
Zhi Yunli actually knew that the Night Terror Hall was awake just now, and she originally wanted to talk about the master's problem, but she didn't want to talk about it, so she thought about it and said:
"Okay, I know everything, you go to accompany the queen first, the queen ran out to see it several times, and I don't know what you are doing in the back, so I'm in a hurry."
"I'm sleeping in the back, and what else can I do. You really don't go up? β
"Brother Shocking went to drink flower wine in front of me, what did I follow. Isn't it? β
"Tsk."
Bird Bird was still angry about being kicked out of the house, nodding and muttering about night terrors.
Night Terror Hall was a little helpless, and rubbed it on the bird's head again before turning around and returning to the ship.
The hall on the second floor of the ship building is brightly lit, and maids such as red jade, green beads, and Xiuhe often go in and out to deliver some tea, and you can also see Yang Lan and Bai Fa Di chatting at the end of the aisle, and they should be standing guard to prevent idlers from entering by mistake.
Finding that the night terror hall was coming, Meng Jiao secretly shook her head for some reason, and Yang Lan had a meaningful look in her eyes, and then disappeared into the corner of the aisle.
Seeing this scene, the Night Terror Hall really felt like the face of the secret guard who entered the palace to serve and was accidentally bumped into by the secret guard, and his heart was inevitably embarrassed, but the actual situation was similar, he still didn't think much about it, and quietly came to the door of the room.
There are a lot of snacks and drinks in the wide hall, and on the left side is a small couch on the coffee table, and the hand warmer and the water are sitting on the small couch together, whispering with wine glasses.
Qing He looked like he had been flooded with a lot of water again, with a touch of red on his cheeks, and he was sitting next to him with a pipa in his hand, playing a small song.
Ning Er was supposed to be singing the Jiangzhou minor tune, but when she heard Yun Li's exclamation, she had already stopped, sat in a proper manner, and posed as a dignified teacher; And Sanniang sat next to her and hummed, although she didn't know how to sing, but her voice was quite soft and charming.
On the other side of the hall, there are two huge painting cases.
Da Ben was dressed in a silver python robe, with his dragon knife hanging from his waist, and he held a gold pen to draw on the scroll.
The content on the picture scroll is naturally the scene seen today - the sky is covered with dark clouds, the Nine Heavens Immortals are hanging under the canopy, and a black-robed knight is standing on the top of Yangshan, looking at each other up and down, although the picture scroll will not move and there is no text description, but the difference between the immortals and the new and the old inheritance of the artistic conception is fully displayed, even if the layman of the Night Terror Hall sees it, he also knows that it must be a masterpiece.
Not far from the side, Qingzhi rolled up her sleeve with her left hand and sketched carefully, painting the same scenery, but in terms of calligraphy and painting, Qingzhi was indeed weak and stupid, and found that the level could not catch up, so she seemed to be a little anxious, glanced at the painting case next to her from time to time, and then frowned and pondered for a long time.
And behind the two of them, there is Yuhu in a red dress.
Although Yuhu is extraordinary in martial arts, he really has no interest in martial arts, and prefers to appreciate literature.
At this time, the two talented women competed in painting skills, Yuhu naturally recommended himself to be a judge, at this time he stood behind his back with his arms around his chest, looked left and right, although he couldn't understand the doorway, but he still maintained the imperial demeanor on the surface, and nodded slightly from time to time to show a touch of approval.
Night Terror Hall glanced at the door, it was Xuanji Zhenren who was sitting opposite the door, and found the trace first.
Xuanji Zhenren's eyes lit up, and then he put down the wine glass, raised his hand and hooked:
"Xiao Xiaotang, come here."
The posture and the mature beauty and bad aunt seem to be ready to seduce the young man.
Hearing the sound, the other girls in the room naturally reacted in their own ways.
Dongfang Liren quickly turned around to show surprise, but when he found his sister standing behind, he coughed lightly and made a dignified and majestic appearance, and continued to immerse himself in painting; And Hua Qingzhi naturally didn't want to run over when she saw this, so she continued to ponder.
Sanniang and Qinghe originally wanted to get up, but the other girls didn't move, they were obviously not steady enough to pounce, and they just greeted each other with a smile.
When I saw a room of daughters-in-law in the night terror, my heart was inevitably a little fluttering, so I tidied up my clothes a little and walked into the house, and first glanced at the painting case:
"It's a really good drawing."
The empress still wanted to see the two talented women fight, but she didn't want the night terror hall to drag the two of them away and delay, so she said:
"What do you know as a layman, go over and have a drink or two first, and I'll wait for them to finish painting."
Night Terror nodded, originally wanting to go to Shui'er, but after sweeping his eyes, he looked at the clumsy little waist:
"Your Highness, what are you doing with my knife hanging?"
Dongfang Liren picked up the pen to paint, looked extremely serious, and responded casually:
"You're the best in the world, what else do you need a knife for? Let this king use it for a while, and then return it to you later. β
Night Terror Hall knew that Stupid wanted to hold the world's number one treasure sword, and this person was not stingy with this, but after thinking about it, he still put forward a condition:
"Okay, but don't forget the reward, Your Highness."
οΌ
Dongfang didn't need to ask, he knew that the reward was to play with the tail, his expression was a little strange, and he didn't respond positively, but looked at Qingzhi:
"I was painting with Qing Zhi, but I didn't have a color yet. Otherwise, if anyone loses, you take it. β
Hua Qingzhi felt that in order to paint this masterpiece well, the queen directly took out 12% of her skills today, and she lost unexpectedly, so she looked back and asked:
"What do you want to get paid?"
Seeing that the green beads were still in front of them, the Night Terror Hall was not easy to say, so he encouraged:
"Draw well, don't worry, even if you really lose, Your Highness will accompany you."
Dongfang was stunned when he heard this, and turned around and said:
"Why?"
The empress saw that the more the night terror hall chatted, the more crooked it became, so that the two of them couldn't concentrate on painting, so she pulled the night terror hall back:
"Alright. If you win the title of 'No. 1 in the world', you have to be rewarded. Go to the bar first, and mention whatever you want later. β
Night Terror Hall gave up, turned around and came to the coffee table, swept it in a blink of an eye, and found that everyone was looking at him, but Ning Er sat on the opposite side coldly, not wanting to be noticed by him, so he came to him and sat on the couch together.
Luo Ning knew what she was going to do later, and she would definitely suffer a loss first when she sat in front of the Night Terror Hall, so she silently thought that she didn't exist.
Finding that Night Terror sat down in front of her without saying a word, Luo Ning was naturally anxious, and moved her buttocks to the side:
"The water is so wide, what are you doing to me? What should I do if Yunli comes in? β
Pei Xiangjun sat opposite, found that Ning'er was still twisting, shook his head and said:
"There are so many girls in the house, they are shocked to sit in front of you, obviously spoiling you, you are not grateful, and you are disgusted. If you really can't let go, go back to the house and sleep with your father-in-law. β
Luo Ning's eyes were cold, but in the end, he didn't leave and didn't speak.
The Queen Mother was watching on the boat today, although she didn't understand, but she was still amazed by the style of the night terrors, and at this time she made the appearance of a mother in the world, and took the lead in holding the wine glass:
"Shocking, you won the martial arts championship today, this palace will give you a cup first."
Night Terror Hall was full of smiles, picked up the wine glass handed over by Qing He, and was about to raise his hand in return.
But Xuanji Zhenren saw that the Night Terror Hall had successfully reached the top, and today she had been thinking about how to reward the little Terror Hall she had grown up with, and at this time, she finally waited until the Night Terror Hall rested, how could she just drink like this, and raised her hand slightly to stop it;
"Winning the championship in martial arts, the last time was a hundred years ago, such a big thing, how can a toast not be sincere. Huai Yan, do you have to express it? β
The Queen Mother naturally understood the meaning of Shui'er, and she also fed it by mouth last time, but she was not shy, and when she thought about it, her face was slightly red, and she was ready to get up.
But Xuanji Zhenren was obviously dissatisfied with this, and pressed her again:
"Didn't you prepare bells? If you don't take it out now, when are you going to take it out? β
The Queen Mother was stunned when she heard this, and then her face turned red:
"How do you know?"
Xuanji Zhenren shrugged slightly: "You don't sleep at night, you are messing around in the house, I will sleep next door, can you know?" Quick, take it out and make the surprise hall happy. β
The Queen Mother hurriedly shook her head: "This is what I didn't practice martial arts well, and the Night Terror Hall asked me to get it, not the color head used for congratulations." And why should I go first, why don't you toast first? β
"The toast you took the initiative to make, you have the highest status present, and the saints have to call the queen mother, who will you not go first?"
The Queen Mother blinked: "Let's leave first, she is the most excited today, and she has gone out to see it several times......"
"Huh?!"
Dongfang Liren, who was looking down and drawing, stood up and looked back at the few people who were whispering.
Seeing this, the Queen Mother hurriedly stopped talking and made the appearance that she had never said anything.
Xuanji Zhenren was embarrassed to see Huaiyan, but he was not as reluctant as bullying He He, and said instead:
"Yuhu, where is the brand you prepared?"
Seeing this, the empress turned around and walked over, picked up a tray from the table, and inside were dozens of jade plates, and placed them in front of the Night Terror Hall:
"Today's big day also allows you to enjoy the taste of being an emperor. The red card is engraved with the name, the green card is the move, you turn the red card, the person who is turned over, turn the green card himself......"
Fan Qinghe felt that this thing was similar to a lot, and asked with some hesitation:
"Who carved this sign?"
"I engraved the red card, and the green card was engraved by the master."
"Huh?"
When everyone heard this, they were obviously nervous.
Xuanji Zhenren picked up the wine jug and poured wine for Yuhu:
"Everyone is the same, it's just a matter of luck, what's there to be afraid of? I don't dare to play and go back to the room to sleep, the adults drink, and the little girl makes a lot of fun. β
Fan Qinghe felt that the things on this green card were probably a little scary, but everyone playing together was betting on luck, and there was really nothing to be afraid of, so he responded:
"Come on, come on, you will suffer yourself later, just don't cry."
Although Xuanji Zhenren was not beaten, he had always been crazy before being beaten, and said to this:
"Who loses every day, if you suffer yourself, I will admit it."
"Okay, let's get started, shocking, you have to turn it over."
Seeing that the daughters-in-law had finished discussing the celebration method, the night terror hall was naturally interested, and wanted to call Yunli Bai Jin to play together, but Bai Jin was pregnant and really couldn't stand the stimulation; Yunli is still a yellow flower girl, and she will definitely not be able to bear it when she plays so big, so she still dispelled this idea and glanced at the eight red cards.
Seeing this, Yuhu also admonished:
"I know that you can see it if you don't flip it, and you are not allowed to cheat."
"How could I cheat."
Night Terror shook his head, picking up a red card and looking at it.
As a result, Ning Er was surprisingly lucky, and she won the jackpot directly.
Luo Ning was relatively thin-skinned, but she didn't want to go back to the house and couldn't sleep, so she sat next to her and observed the situation silently, and found that the night terror hall next to her not only sat in front of her, but also took her under the knife, and her clothes suddenly bulged a little:
"Thief!"
Night Terror Hall was a little innocent with the sign: "It's really a casual flip, why don't I flip it again?" β
Luo Ning wanted to make the Night Terror Hall turn over again, but the girls in the room were watching, and she was obviously embarrassed to open it.
Pei Xiangjun saw Ning Er's hesitation and urged:
"If you want to gamble and lose, you are waiting."
Luo Ning obviously didn't dare to start, looked at a row of beautifully crafted green cards, and secretly asked for help from Night Terror's eyes, asking which one to turn over.
But it's a pity that all the people sitting next to him are masters, where can I not see this little action, in order to prevent the night terror hall from favoring Ning'er, Yuhu came to the back and directly blindfolded the night terror hall, not giving eye contact.
Seeing this, Luo Ning had no choice but to bite the bullet, picked a piece from the green sign, and held it in the palm of his hand to look at it carefully.
As a result, I don't know if I shouldn't have come here today, but I came up to wash my face with watermelon.
οΌ
Luo Ning's face froze when he saw the words in front of him, covered the cards with both hands, and asked:
"Can I choose to drink?"
Pei Xiangjun frowned: "In the first three circles, Qingzhi can be punished for drinking, but you are the first to enter the door, I couldn't grab it last year, I am embarrassed to be taken care of like my little sister?" But if you think you're old, it's not like we can't take care of it. β
Luo Ning's position in her first love is stable, how can she think that she is the old man, hesitated, but put down the sign, sat on the lap of the night terror hall slowly, and untied the collar.
ηͺΈηͺΈηͺ£ηͺ£~
The night terror hall was covered by Yuhu's eyes, and he didn't know what the situation was, so he asked:
"What's the draw?"
Yuhu's placket pressed against the back of the Night Terror Hall, blindfolded the Night Terror Hall, and responded:
"What are you anxious about, won't you know later?"
"Oh......"
Night Terror smelled the faint fragrance of her daughter close at hand, and knew that the little watermelon had come in front of her, and then the palm covering her eyes moved away, and her cheeks were covered by two soft balls, and it was immediately difficult to breathe.
"Woo~"
Luo Ning trembled slightly, but still didn't say anything, willing to gamble and lose, hugged the head of the night terror, and asked:
"Okay, right?"
The Queen Mother sat next to her and looked at it, her face began to turn red, and even Qingzhi in the distance was stupid, she was looking back, and quickly turned her head back.
Seeing that Ning'er did as promised, Xuanji Zhenren nodded with satisfaction and responded softly:
"You have to carry it until the next person comes up, shocking, you keep turning."
Seeing this, Yuhu sent the tray to him.
The Night Terror Hall was blinded by the softness, and could not see anything, so he listened to the sound and picked up another card, but touched it with his fingers, and found that it was a big stupid, so he held it up:
"Woo ......"
Hua Qingzhi didn't have the heart to paint, she kept peeking, and when she saw this, she said:
"Your Highness, it seems that I have drawn you."
"Huh?"
Dongfang turned his head away, obviously a little nervous: "I'm painting, what are you doing with this king?" Change one. β
Yuhu frowned and said, "Let's continue painting tomorrow, come here, drink and congratulate first." β
Dongfang hesitated and found that everyone was waiting, and they couldn't escape, so they thought about it and came to the front with Hua Qingzhi.
Hua Qingzhi's face is still relatively thin, and she is embarrassed to see how white the chest of the first beauty in the rivers and lakes is, and she sits silently in front of Sister Lu, who takes care of her.
Dongfang Liren did not sit down, and after scanning his eyes among the many signs, he picked up a piece and looked at it carefully, and found that it said three cups of self-punishment, and he was immediately relieved:
"I thought it was all a mess, just three glasses of wine, and I drank it."
As he spoke, he poured wine and prepared to punish him.
And Ning'er, who was sitting in the arms of the night terror hall and was humiliated and humiliated, was waiting for the queen to come and rescue her, and found that the queen only punished herself with three cups, she must have felt unfair, and said:
"Why am I smoking this? Shui'er, are you ......?"
Seeing that Luo Ning suspected her of cheating, Xuanji Zhenren was slightly displeased:
"You yourself are unlucky, can you blame me? Hold it well, don't be lazy. β
"How long do you want to hold it?"
"Didn't you say it just now, hug until the next person takes the position, if no one draws it, you hug it all night."
Luo Ning took a breath, seeing this, there was no other way but to continue to hug it with a red face, and found that the night terror hall was not honest, secretly kissed, and secretly pinched it on the shoulder.
Soon, Dongfang left three glasses of wine, sat down in front of Sanniang, and asked:
"Who's next?"
For those who are drawn, the signs will be put aside first, and the rest of the people will naturally become more and more nervous.
Although Fan Qinghe didn't speak, he stared intently at the hand of the Night Terror Hall, and muttered:
"The Banshee, the Banshee...... Hey?! β
Xuanji Zhenren was calm and light on the surface, but he was still a little nervous in his heart, and when he found that Qinghe's name came into view, his expression suddenly showed a little surprise:
"It seems that God is on my side today, Qinghe, have you forgotten to pay tribute this year?"
Fan Qinghe's face was dark, but he had already been named, and there was no way at this time, so he could only pick up a green card, and after a slight glance, he got up and walked out:
"I still have to refine medicine, you guys drink it first......"
Seeing that Qinghe wanted to escape, Xuanji Zhenren quickly pulled Qinghe back and held it down, snatching the cards from his hand.
The Queen Mother leaned over to take a look, and her eyes suddenly became meaningful:
"Yo~ Wearing a bell and skipping rope, why did you write this on?"
Hua Qingzhi still didn't understand the meaning, and asked:
"How do you wear a bell? Hanging around the neck? β
"You'll find out later. Qinghe, hurry up. β
Fan Qinghe was pressed on the couch by Xuanji Zhenren, and his eyes were a little annoyed:
"Can you change it?"
Xuanji Zhenren raised her eyebrows: "Yes." But most of them are real knives and guns, which is still relatively acceptable, are you sure you want to change? β
ββ¦β¦β
Fan Qinghe thinks about it, with the nature of a demon girl, eighty percent of the brand must be something that makes people feel ashamed, there is not much difference between skipping rope and dancing, and it is acceptable, if she changes to a jade radish, she must faint in public?
For this reason, after hesitating for a moment, Fan Qinghe still resigned himself to his fate and got up:
"You wait for me."
Xuanji real people have no fear.
Luo Ning hugged the night terror hall to help wash her face, she was a little unbearable, and when she saw this, she said again:
"Can I come down?"
"The skipping rope doesn't take up a place, what are you doing down? Stay ......."
"Alas......"
β¦β¦
The room was filled with light and shadow, laughter and slapstick, but after a while, there was a rhythmic sound:
Jingle ~ Jingle ~
And the big ship with bulging sails is also drifting away in the moonlight.
Zheyunli sat on the bow of the boat with the bird, holding a fishing rod and staring at the broken and round water surface of the moon shadow, seemingly practicing with his eyes closed, but his ears were secretly listening to the movement in the ship.
It's a pity that everyone inside is paying attention to the movement, so as not to be heard by the guards, and it is difficult to hear what is going on.
After waiting for a long time, a figure quietly came to his side again.
Zhi Yunli noticed that something was wrong, turned his head to look, and found that the master who was standing behind him looking at the sea was full of surprise:
"Master, why did you come out? Ready to go up for a drink? β
Xue Baijin's martial arts and his high strength, and he also learned the Nine Phoenix Chaoyang Gong, as long as he perceives it carefully, he can even hear Ning Er's current movements, and he only feels that the emperor's house is really chaotic, and Ning Er is crooked, where is he embarrassed to run over and mess around together.
At this time, when she came out, she couldn't sleep a little, and at the same time she was afraid that Yunli would be alone, so she responded:
"Just come out and take a walk. It's so late and don't go back to your room to rest? β
Zhi Yunli sighed lightly: "I can't sleep a little, or the master will fall me to sleep." β
Xue Baijin already understood that Yun Li knew everything, so why was he embarrassed to do that kind of behavior of covering his ears and stealing the bell again, and he fell asleep at a certain point, but Yun Li misunderstood that she also ran to fool around.
For this reason, after glancing at the coast for a few times, he spoke:
"I can't sleep either, why don't I go back and meditate and practice together?"
Seeing this, Zhe Yunli put down the fishing rod and picked up the bird: "It's okay, it's okay to be idle anyway." β
Xue Baijin walked backwards together, during which he turned his head to look at Yunli who was teasing the bird, and took out a hairpin from his sleeve and inserted it between Yunli's bun.
Zhi Yunli's footsteps paused slightly, and he was slightly puzzled: "Master, what is this?" β
"A gift from a senior, I wish the newlyweds a hundred years of good together, and give it to you as a dowry."
"Really?" Zhe Yunli raised his hand and touched it: "Such an important thing, or the master should keep it for himself." β
"What do I keep to do, you can be happy for a lifetime, and Master will naturally be happy."
"Master is happy, I can be happy."
"Twitter ......"
The bird was caught under the creaking nest, and at this time it chirped twice, which means that it is estimated that it is a complaintββββ you have been fishing for half a night, and a fish is not on, so you don't ask the bird if the bird is happy?
It's a pity that the two people, one big and one younger, didn't respond, and soon disappeared into the deepest part of the aisle......
