Chapter 35: Farewell

The first snow in Chang'an has melted, the weather is fine, the water floats and stretches a lazy waist, last night I slept really sweetly, it seems that being a demon also has a different taste, the water float is about to get up, but the door was pushed open.

A group of maids followed the leading maid in, and then the table was filled with all kinds of pastries, as well as brewed tea, and some people went out, while the rest stood respectfully on both sides with washed water and bright clothes.

"The Floating Girl is awake? The slaves and maidservants served the maidens to freshen up. ”

"Waiting for me to freshen up? No, this girl will freshen up herself. ”

"This is Childe's order."

"Your son is really strange, who wouldn't do such a thing as washing your face and grooming?"

"The girl doesn't have to excuse herself, if she doesn't take good care of the girl, the son will know, and the slaves and maids will be punished again."

"If I don't tell your son-in-law, he won't know, I'll just come by myself."

"Childe said, if you want to take the girl out to play today, you need to dress up the girl well, so the girl's clothes and makeup can't be as elegant as usual, if the son sees the girl for a while, he will naturally know whether we serve the girl wholeheartedly, and please don't embarrass the slave."

"Okay, okay, so what am I going to do?"

The maid motioned to the two maids on the left and right to help her to the dressing table, the floating life in the mirror still looked sleepy-eyed, a long black hair was scattered, the maid bent her knees to comb her hair bun herself, the floating hair was smeared with fragrance, and the black hair was more beautiful for a while, and the scattered clouds became radiant, and the maid said: "The girl is so good-looking, I think the flying fairy bun is very suitable for the girl, although it is not a fashionable hairstyle, but the elegant and light spirit is very consistent with the girl's temperament, and the unknown girl is satisfied?" ”

"Full ...... Satisfied...... "I really don't know what form the flying fairy bun in her mouth is, but it's just a comb of hair, how can there be so much exquisiteness, let it be."

The maid's hands were very dexterous and soft, and in a moment she had her hair styled, and she only felt that it was fun to float in the water, and she watched it with relish.

After the hair combing is completed, a maid will bring the good face wash over, and after Fusheng washes his face, he will put a thin layer of plain powder on his face, and then apply grease, Luo Dai eyebrows, wipe his lips, and put a little flower on his forehead, toss for a long time, the makeup is finally finished, and Fusheng looks at himself in the mirror, "Is this me?" Looking left and right, Fusheng finally saw some eyebrows, which were indeed somewhat similar to himself, so he had to reluctantly accept it.

"The girl is really a fairy in the sky, the slave maid served in the Daming Palace in her early years, and the girl is the most beautiful among the people she has seen, and the girl really has the beauty of sinking fish and geese."

The maid's mouth was full of beautiful words, and she accepted it beautifully in her heart, and the corners of her mouth were full of smiles, smiling innocently and romantically.

"Girl, change your clothes?"

"Changing clothes?" In front of everyone's eyes, Fusheng's face was shy, "Can you ...... Go out and come back in after I've changed my clothes? ”

The maid covered her mouth and smiled: "We are both women, I don't know what scruples the girl has?" As he spoke, he called the two maids to help, and Fusheng retreated again and again, "I ......"

I could hear the hearty laughter outside the door, "You all come out, let the floating girl change it herself." ”

"Yes, Childe." The maid led the maids out one by one, and he motioned for them to stand aside, leaving himself to wait quietly outside the door.

The door finally opened, and a woman was dressed in a light shirt, with a long skirt reaching to the ground, curling Tingting, like a hibiscus out of the water, but glamorous but not demonic, and like a dew bead, Chu Chu is lovable.

"You...... It's so pretty. ”

Fusheng didn't think so, she preferred the unrestrained appearance before, she originally thought how beautiful these beautiful clothes would be when she wore them, but when she really wore them, she felt unnatural all over her body.

"Let's go......"

He stretched out his hand, Fusheng thought slightly, for some reason, Fusheng had an inexplicable affection for him, she accepted his kindness, and also received his heart, in his eyes that were not mixed with any impurities, he understood his love, that kind of love is a kind of love, but it is by no means a secular love between men and women who are contaminated with red dust, he has no desire for her, no trace of greed.

"Why is there always a faint sadness between his brows that cannot be hidden, it is the snow that will never melt, covering the purest territory of his heart. Who lives there? Or is it just a lonely self? ”

"I don't bring anyone today, just the two of us, you don't have to be restrained about what you want to eat or play."

Fusheng nodded, Hui's mother's osmanthus cake is delicious, but he would choose to believe that she stayed because she was greedy for the taste of osmanthus cake, in fact, she just didn't want to leave in front of him, she originally wanted to sneak away, don't say goodbye, because at that moment his eyes were full of desolate beauty, beautiful autumn yellow flowers, so that she didn't dare to look directly, as if she turned around and left, and she should be withered behind her, there was a deep sense of sin, as if she owed him something for no reason.

Chang'an after the snow seems to be more prosperous, the enthusiasm blocked by the heavy snow has become unrestrained at this moment, the aroma of various snacks boils into a sea of appetite, especially the aroma of Hu cakes, diffusing the entire Chang'an, ten miles without decreasing, there are more orchids selling wine, the style is fully displayed, a few cakes, a few dishes, a pot of wine, plus the shadow flashes, it is really a beautiful scene of life, but in front of it.

"It's so fragrant, I want to eat it."

"Heh, I've never eaten a street stall like this, but it smells good." He frowned, hesitating, "Just ask for a copy." ”

The vendor wrapped a cake and handed it to Zhushui Fusheng, she took a bite, her face was intoxicated, and even the aroma of the cake was full of happiness, "Is it so delicious?" He smiled and shook his head, "This girl is too easy to satisfy." ”

As if he had thought of something, he tore off a piece from the place where he didn't bite and put it to his mouth, "Taste it!" He was disgusted by this kind of behavior, but for some reason he felt that he could not refuse, because in that piece of bread he smelled happiness.

"Is it delicious?"

He nodded, there was nothing special about this cake, the taste was different from any of the delicacies he had ever eaten, but there was a nostalgic aftertaste in the mouth, the more he chewed, the more fragrant it became, and his face showed a smile with a hint of surprise, it turned out that ordinary people would have such delicious food in the market.

"In the past, my sister used to sneak out of the house to play, she probably ate such a delicacy, I often blame her, now I think about it just because I don't understand her, she should be happy at that time, not like a goldfinch in a cage, and she won't ......"

There was a more hazy layer of sadness in his eyes, covering up the happiness that had been fleeting just now.

Seeing his unhappy appearance, Fusheng deliberately diverted the topic: "Didn't you say that you want to take me to eat delicious food and have fun?" ”

She looked up and saw a flag floating in front of her, with the words "Juyuanfang" written on it, although she didn't recognize the words, but she could see the crowd and the city, very lively, "Let's go there", she pulled him towards Juyuanfang.

"Here...... Be...... ...... the casino," he looked at her hesitantly, but immediately forged, "This girl probably doesn't even know what a gambling house is." ”

"Gambling House...... What is it for? ”

"A gambling house is a place to gamble for money."

"Where to gamble? What's that for? ”

He stared at her for a moment, "Probably...... I can't tell her clearly, since I promised to let her have fun and eat to her heart's content today, then let her be, what about the gambling house, even if you spend a lot of money, you should gamble as fast. ”

When the two entered the Juyuanfang, they immediately attracted a lot of attention, looking at the two of them dressed like princes and nobles, and then looking at the two of them looking like a pair of beautiful people, this Juyuanfang is the largest gambling house in the world, often patronized by gentlemen, there is no shortage of rich people, but the temperament of these two people is different from ordinary people, and they dare not slack off.

"It's the first time you've come to play, and your faces are a little rusty." The owner of the gambling house hurriedly greeted him

"What are you guys doing here?"

"There are many ways to play, it depends on how you like to play, but look at your style, the way to play is naturally not vulgar, we gather in the square to have a private room 'flower breath', with silver ten two can enter, the guests inside will be similar to your identity, they play is similar to the wine order of the play, three dice with the roll, to throw the expensive lottery to decide the winner or loser, the winner can make any request to the loser, can be money, can be poetry, can be beauty, can be anything can think of anything, if it is money, Wins and losses in each game are limited to 100 taels of silver. ”

"I see."

"Inside, please."

The warm fragrance in the flowers, the guests and friends are full, the table is full of elixir and jade, all kinds of melons and fruits, there are men with faces like crowns of jade, and women with flowers and branches, all of them are dressed in gorgeous clothes, graceful and elegant.

Fusheng only felt fresh, but what she didn't know was that these people who looked decent might be separated from heaven and earth overnight and become bankrupt and destitute.

The two people who came in were very eye-catching, someone recognized the comer, with a surprised face, "Helan ......" was just about to speak, and immediately realized something, and quickly choked back the words, as if he didn't know what to do, and he glanced at him coldly, so he took Fusheng to find a place to sit down.

To say that this Chang'an City, there are not many women with good looks, and some are even foreign women with blonde hair and snowy skin, but the woman in front of her is the kind of woman who wants to be remembered for a lifetime at a glance, she doesn't feel half a bewitching breath on her body, but there is a charm that entangles people's hearts, and there is a sense of distance that is out of reach, the more this sense of distance, the more worthy of the world's men to take care of her, but especially for men with a little talent, never clinging to the pleasure that can be easily obtained, Rather, they prefer to linger on grief with self-destructive tendencies.

"Now to beat the drum to pass the flower as an order, pass to which guest hand, then by the guest to throw the dice, if you can't throw the color will pass down, throw the color to leave a flower, the guest seat will be moved to the 'three treasures' waiting for the next guest to throw the color, 'hall seal' for the respect, 'green oil' for the second,' Wine star' second, the middle of the game is fine, is for this game to judge, supervise the delivery of both sides of the bet, the first and last two are determined to be the loser winner, by the winner put forward any conditions, the losing side must unconditionally accept, if everyone present has no objection, the game begins. ”

No one objected during the banquet, and the drum beat was heard, and the atmosphere was suddenly a little tense, the drum beat from sparse to dense, and the sound from light to heavy, about three times, the drum beat gradually thinned out, and the sound became lighter and lighter, and suddenly the drum beat stopped abruptly, and the flower was held in the hand of a good-looking man.

"Tang Yin...... Tang Yin ...... "He meditated in his heart, but the possibility of throwing the Tang Seal is really not very large, and he needs three dice to face up at the same time, and he really has no way, so he can only pray to God, but it is a pity that God opened one eye, closed one eye, and indeed threw out Guicai, three dice six points up at the same time, and threw out "green oil." ”

"Congratulations to this son, I didn't expect someone to throw out the precious color in the first round, congratulations, leave a flower."

The atmosphere in the field is even more tense, since the "green oil" has been decided, it means that the remaining Guicai can only decide the winner, or throw out the "hall seal", or throw the "wine star".

Fusheng could feel the sudden change in the atmosphere, but when he looked at him next to him, he was calm and relaxed, looking like he was out of the way.

On the other side of him, a man with a good temperament is bowing his head and tasting the wine, indulging in the aroma of wine and wine, and it is not his own demeanor.

The drum stopped countless times, and the flower used to give the order did not know how many times it had been transmitted, but no one threw the precious color again, and finally, the flower was passed to the boy who bowed his head and drank, and the servant behind him was preparing to do the work for him, passing the flower aside, but he stopped him, took the flower, held it in his hand, and everyone cast surprised eyes, and finally the drum gradually stopped, he took a sip of wine, and heard a very soft and charming voice said lightly: "I'm coming." ”

He didn't raise his head, the dice in his hand made a pleasant sound, the dice were upside down on the table, the moment everything settled, everyone held their breath and stared, and finally the crowd let out a sigh, "Tang Yin ......"

"Congratulations to this son for throwing the 'hall seal', then the next thing is to decide the 'wine star', if the stage fright can choose to leave, after leaving the field, he is not allowed to enter again, and he needs to pay one or two silver before leaving."

Looking at the scene again, no one left, and Fusheng probably didn't understand too much, staring at the drum with wide eyes, waiting for the next round of drumming to begin.

The drum sounded, and it was another round, when the flower of the order fell into his hands, the drum stopped abruptly, he very calmly picked up the bamboo tube containing the dice, the dice collided with the wall of the cylinder, the same sound, different rhythm, lazily threw shocking points, three points, face up, looking at him in unison, he showed his long thick eyebrows slightly raised, and his heart was also a little messy: "How could it be me...... It's not a question of winning or losing, it's a matter of face, and I actually threw three points in front of my sister ......"

"This son threw the Guicai 'Wine Star', and now the outcome has been decided, please move the two sons to the three thrones, make conditions for each other, and the two sides sign a contract, and the son who threw the 'green oil' will supervise the decision."

He smiled and glanced at Fusheng, got up to leave, and she realized the seriousness of the situation, that it was a gamble, and that he had lost.

The two sides sat down, and Fusheng finally saw the man's appearance, although he was born handsome and strange, and he was also a good skin, which was much inferior to him, but the starlight accompanied the moon, and the moon was shining by daylight, but at this moment he had the right to take away any of his beloved things.

"It's all my ...... to blame" The guilt in his heart was surging, like a flood beast about to swallow him.

"Say, what do you want?"

"Oh, what I want is very simple." He stretched out his hand and pointed to the floating life of Chasui, with a slight smile on his face.

His eyes, which were originally as light as water, set off a terrifying wave at this moment, only to hear him say coldly: "No."

"But a little prostitute, what's there to be reluctant to?"

"What did you say?"

"Isn't it? How could a young lady with status show up in such a place? Once you have entered Juyuanfang, you have to abide by the rules here, and if you can't afford to lose, don't step into this door. ”

"Who said that Ben Gongzi can't afford to lose? You just have to say how much money you want, as long as you can tell you the price, my son can afford to give you. ”

"All I want is her."

"Then trade your life."

Seeing that the situation was not good, she hurriedly stepped forward to grab him, she smiled and said: "If you want this girl, you can, bet with me, if I win, then no one owes anyone, okay?" ”

"It's up to you, since it's just a gamble between you and me, one game is determined, just the size of the throwing point."

"What's big and what's small?"

"Three four points at the same time upwards for the 'Tang Yin', followed by three six points at the same time upwards for the 'green oil', and then three points at the same time upwards for the 'wine star', the others are counted as scattered color, scattered color depends on the sum of points."

She heard about understood, nodded slightly, the dice in his hand shook, a moment to set the world, throw scatter, the sum of the points is fifteen, the light smile on the floating lips has brought out a trace of mystery, only a hand, easily sixteen points, he was dumbfounded, a little unbelievable, but since it is a gambling game, it originally depends on luck, willing to lose the bet.

"How? Do we owe each other more? ”

"The gentleman said, the horse is difficult to chase, but I still want to gamble with the girl again, I wonder if the girl is willing to appreciate her face?"

"Of course, but what if you lose?"

"But it's up to the girl."

"Good"

This time he seemed to be trying his best, the dice brewed in the air for a long time, and the moment he opened, he saw Guicai, and three points were facing up at the same time, throwing a "wine star".

She still had a chuckle on her lips, and with a quick throw, his self-confidence was lost, and the three sixes were facing up at the same time, and she also threw a noble color, just slightly higher than him.

"You...... I'm not convinced. ”

"That'..... One more game. ”

"You start this game first."

"Yes, but this is only one game, if you lose, you will be at my disposal."

This time, she didn't think about it, she still threw it with her hand, and the moment she started, the audience was surprised, three or four points were facing up at the same time, this little girl actually threw the jackpot, and the gorgeous "Tang Yin" was presented in front of everyone.

"You ......" he still has a glimmer of hope, if he can also throw the "Tang Yin", this game is not a loss, the original calm, the original temperament Ruying, in him have lost a trace, three five points at the same time, not expensive, but only one step away from the "Tang Yin".

"According to the rules of our Juyuanfang, Childe has lost three games in a row...... I'm afraid there's no reason to gamble anymore. ”

"Okay, just take it as if the passing year is unfavorable, and my son's luck is not good, you say, how to punish it?"

"Punish you ......" Fusheng saw the brush used to sign and draw on the table, and instantly had an idea.

"Don't move...... she leaned over, but his heart became extremely nervous, and his breathing was short, but she picked up the red pen and dotted a little red between his eyebrows, and drew two whiskers on the side of his mouth with an ink pen, and then smiled, "Okay."

The surrounding atmosphere changed suddenly, a piece of sunshine bathed in harmony, but such a solemn gamble was understated by her, a little vermilion, and two ink whiskers were counted as paying off the bet.

"Let's go." He followed her very cooperatively, and it was always others who listened to him, and today he was willing to be a meek and considerate lamb.

"Wait...... Blah, blah, blah...... "The one who lost the bet tripped and fell to the ground carelessly," ...... The girl's name. ”

"Little Demon"

"Little Demon ...... If there is such a cute demon, I am afraid that it will be entangled for a lifetime, and it will be good to rest until death. ”

That day, he took her to play all over Chang'an, as he said, and also ate all the food in the capital, Chang'an was really fun, but the most memorable thing about that day was the smile that he had not dissipated on his lips for a long time.

"I'm leaving......"

"Bring this on." He handed over a package of freshly made osmanthus cakes, and a small blue baggage, "There are some clothes in it, and some silver, don't be reluctant to spend it, if the flowers are gone, just come back to me, at least there is the osmanthus cake made by Hui's mother......"

Fusheng nodded: "I'm really gone......"

"Hmmm......"

"You really look good when you smile, you have to smile more."

"Hmmm......"

"I'm gone......"

"Floating ......"

"What's wrong?"

"Take good care of yourself, if you encounter difficulties, remember to come back to me, I can give you everything you want."

"Hmm" Fusheng seemed to think of something, "Huh", "By the way, I don't know what your name is?" ”

"My name is ...... Helan ......"

"Helan? Then I'll call you Brother Helan! ”

Her figure faded away, shrinking into a point in her life.

"Brother Helan ......"

His eyes sparkled with the light of the melting snow and ice, and the smile she left him was enough for him to forget for the rest of his life.
