Chapter 210: Bath Turmoil
The restaurant song house is noisy, and the tea room is hung with high curtains. Thousands of households and thousands of doors have good business, and the six streets and three cities have a wide source of wealth. People who buy gold and sell brocade are like ants, and they compete for profit and fame only for money. Polite and solemn, the scenery is prosperous, and the river is clear and the sea is peaceful. This poem is about the scene in the market of the capital of the country of Wuyue.
It is said that Yang Rui received an invitation from Shichan after living in the Yang family's courtyard for a few days, asking him to go to the Haiyuan Pavilion located in the east of the national capital to participate in the preliminary examination of the Fu Array Master Selection Conference. The so-called preliminary examination is to determine whether you have met the minimum standards to become a rune master, and only after passing this assessment can you participate in the subsequent selection meeting to score the grade.
In order not to conflict with the event time of the Family Tournament, the Talisman Selection Meeting was scheduled to be held the week before the Tournament. The Haiyuan Pavilion was originally used by King Lu to store national books, and it has several tall and magnificent halls, but now it has been renovated and used exclusively as a venue for the selection conference.
On this day, the wind and the sun were beautiful, Yang Rui, Xiao Xuannu and Ren Xue walked on the street to enjoy the fun, and they couldn't see the bustling spirit. And the handsomeness of the young man, the elegance of Ren Xue, the freshness of the Xuannu, plus the shadowy and terrifying atmosphere of the silver armored corpse king, this strange combination has also attracted the attention of many passers-by.
Among the passers-by were the vendors, the idlers and children who watched the bustle, and the players who came from all over the country to participate in the two competitions. The contestants were dressed in a variety of ways, and most of them lived in the Huibu Hall in the national capital, and only a few families were able to own their own homes in the national capital.
Judging from the information received by Grandpa Yang Rui, the number of people participating in this family competition has reached more than 3,000. Since the tournament stipulates that each family can hire a helper to participate, many of these contestants are not from the Five Peaks.
After learning about this regulation, the little Xuannu naturally refused to let go of this opportunity to play. He had to play a game because of his temperament, and Yang Rui had to turn to his grandfather for help. Unexpectedly, Yang Ye actually agreed, and the reason was naturally that he fell in love with the strength of the little Xuannu Yuan Dan Realm.
With her strength, Wuyue Guoli can already rank among the first-class masters. Under the age limit of 30 years old in the competition, the little Xuannu undoubtedly picked up a big bargain. Because apart from Yang Rui, who can see that this lively and cute little porcelain baby is actually a monster that has lived for hundreds of millions of years?
This rule also applies to the white fox girl Ren Xue, but the young man is not for the ranking but for the cultivation this time, so he has never planned to let the white fox show his strength in the Wuyue Country. Of course. And the white-fronted dragon-eyed tiger that couldn't transform into a human form. was also left in the courtyard of the Yang family, and was not allowed to go out without permission.
At the time of the Duanyang Festival, I saw that every household unraveled the dumplings and inserted wormwood, drank calamus and male yellow wine, and watched the dragon boat. Maybe it's because I heard that I can participate in the tournament. The little Xuannu was in a very good mood. Bouncing around the streets. Looking around, he suddenly pointed to a few gatehouses with colorful flags hanging high and shouted: "Hey! Today's street is so lively! Look at what kind of places are there, why are so many people waiting in front of the door?" Yang Rui smiled: "Today is the Duanyang Festival on the fifth day of the fifth month of May. According to the customs of our Wuyue country. On this day, it is bathed in soup with bluegrass mugwort leaves. It's a bathhouse for bathing, and you see the people waiting in line with wooden tubs and towels in their hands, right?"
The little Xuannu and Ren Xue took a closer look, and the roof of the gatehouse was indeed surrounded by a layer of hot steam, white smoke was rising from the chimney, and the crowd queuing in front of the gate was holding a change of clothes, towels and wooden basins.
After the bath, everyone is dressed up and refreshed. In particular, those girls tied knots and bundled sachets, and walked on the street overflowing with orchids, talking and laughing. The young man continued to introduce as he walked: "The women of Wuyue Country love to bathe the most, so the Duanyang Festival is also called the Daughter's Festival. Regardless of age, before and after marriage, all women will bathe and dress up on this day to go out. In the evening, there will be a night market and fireworks. Looking at the expectant eyes of the two girls, he smiled and said, "Anyway, it's still early, why don't we go take an orchid bath and refresh it!"
The little Xuannu immediately applauded when she heard it, but Ren Xue was slightly red, looked at the rough men in front of the bathhouse, and said hesitantly: "Shizen did not explain the content of the Fu Array Master's initial examination, I am afraid that I will miss the time for a while, and this bath is ......."
As a member of the Nine-Tailed Fox family, she doesn't really like to get too close to humans. If it weren't for Yang Rui, she would only go to the city inhabited by humans when she received the task. The thought of taking a bath with those rough men standing in front of the door made Ren Xue feel uncomfortable.
When the young man saw the appearance of the white fox girl, he had already guessed what she was thinking, waved his hand and said with a smile: "Sister Ren Xue doesn't have to worry, although you can also take a mixed bath in Wuyue Country after marriage, but at the age before marriage, the male and female baths are strictly separated." We're going to go in and it won't take long. ”
The white fox girl breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, but looking at the handsome and upright young man, there seemed to be a little pity between her eyebrows. The young man did not know what the girl was thinking, so he looked at the corner of the street, picked a majestic bath, and walked over with the two girls.
I walked to the door of the bathhouse and took a closer look, and it was really a good place! But I saw that the building was in the sky, and the clouds and mist came out of the eaves. The willows in front of the door are rows, and the branches in the courtyard are vigorous. Red beam jade pillar color screen exhibition, white stone masonry fine carving. The flowing water is murmuring, the bluegrass is smoked, and the only way in the steaming clouds is to be in Penglai Immortal Island. The glass is golden, Ziqiong is polished, and the mandarin ducks in the jade pool are not envious of the heavenly palace.
When he was looking, he was stopped by the two strong-clothed warriors guarding the door and said: "Where did you come from! This is a place for you to watch casually? Go away! Go away!" The young man smiled: "This big brother is not busy chasing people." When we first arrived in the national capital, it coincided with the Duanyang solar term, and we were looking for a good place to bathe and descale. I see that you are here with clouds and fog, and I think it is also a place of hospitality. It's just that if this face is right to people, I'm afraid it's going to drive away the guests. ”
One of the warriors squinted at the three people dressed in ordinary clothes, and said without squinting: "We are indeed a place to entertain guests, but we are not a place to receive civilians like you. The people who enter and exit this gate are either dignitaries or relatives of the emperor and the country, or at least businessmen with a lot of money. I see that the silver taels on your bodies are not enough to drink a cup of fragrant tea here! Go away! Don't make a mess of Lao Tzu here!"
When the little Xuannu heard this, she couldn't help but jump out and shouted: "You two are just watchdogs, and it's really annoying to be noisy and barking! How much has ruined our interest out of thin air? Today I will demolish this gatehouse." Let you bark in the streets!"
The two warriors were furious when they heard this. I think that although the two of them are watchmen for others, they are also masters at the peak of the medicine realm, and they have also left a name in the rivers and lakes. Rong Ma has been in the past ten years, and he has never seen a child dare to scold in front of them. They all jumped out and shouted to the little Xuannu: "You kid is not small, dare to come to my Yutian Pavilion to spread wild! Today we will help your adults discipline and discipline you!"
There were a few crisp sounds, and I saw the two warriors rebound sharply after punching, standing in front of the door, and suddenly bending down and rubbing the two red and swollen fists, with a look of surprise.
It turned out that just when they were swinging their fists, they only felt a flash in front of them. A huge silver-armored corpse appeared in front of the little porcelain doll at some point. So much so that their powerful punches really hit the silver armor.
The silver armor did not move. And they were smashed into fists. This is really stealing chickens and rice, and in the blink of an eye, it has made a loss-making transaction. I only heard the little porcelain baby over there holding her stomach and laughing: "You dare to say that it is a bath in this broken place, it is really laughing to death!"
Seeing that the silver-armored corpse king was staring at them expressionlessly, the two warriors couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and they didn't dare to take half a step forward. But he said fiercely: "You want to make trouble with your helpers? Okay! If you have the ability, stay and don't leave!" After speaking, he stumbled into the door.
The little girl's mouth was pursed high. The Patting Corpse King muttered, "Hmph! These two lackeys who bully the weak and are afraid of the hard must have gone back to call people." If you don't let me have fun today. I won't let them go lightly. The young man said: "Forget it, I brought it to the wrong place, I think this is a private club." Let's find another house to go into. When the little lady heard this, her head shook like a rattle, and she cried out, "Don't! If we go now, they will say that we are afraid." If you want to go, you have to wait for them to come out!"
The white fox girl looked helpless from the side, and said secretly in her heart: "This little Xuannu's kung fu to cause trouble is not much worse than that magic sword against the scales." The sudden departure of the reverse scale before, no matter how you look at it, it is inseparable from her. Could it be that the two of them have known each other for a long time?" looked at the young man in front of him and thought, "But these humans in front of him are also rude, and my brother can really calm down." I saw the young man spread his hands and sighed: "Okay, it's up to you." But it's good to teach you a lesson, and don't hurt people's lives. The little girl snorted noncommittally, rolled up her sleeves, and just stared at the door with a puff.
At this moment, the young men suddenly heard the sound of wheels. When I turned around, it turned out to be a convoy parked at the door of the Yutian Pavilion. To say that the lineup of the team is really luxurious, a big car pulled by nine cows, driving a double-storey pavilion. The wheels are made of black iron, and the car is inlaid with jade white paint. The cart was followed by three small carts drawn by two oxen, all of which were filled with servants and servants. The front and rear of the convoy were surrounded by more than a dozen mercenaries riding landing beasts, and after a glance, they were not weak.
Due to the previous quarrel, a group of passers-by who loved to watch the excitement had been gathered around, and one of them shouted: "Ah! It's the convoy of the Zhou family in Lingshan!" Another said: "How do you recognize it?" The man said: "Don't you see the carved family crest on that big car? Mu Narcissus is not who the Zhou family is!"
The convoy stopped, and a few horses from it walked to the head of the gate and shouted: "Lingshan Zhou's family is here, why is there no one to receive it!" Before the words fell, he suddenly saw the two warriors guarding the door carrying weapons, jumping out of the courtyard with more than a dozen people, and surrounded the gate. Seeing this, the mercenary of the Zhou family said angrily: "You dare to be rude to Zhou Gongzi!?"
The two warriors guarding the gate were about to deal with the little Xuannu, and when they saw the convoy, they knew that it was someone from the Zhou family who had arrived, so they hurriedly put away their weapons, bowed forward and said with a smile: "This lord forgives the little rudeness." It's really these people who are making trouble in front of the bathing pavilion, and we are about to arrest him. I don't know if Zhou Gongzi is coming, there is a loss of welcome, there is a loss of welcome. Please also ask the adults to go in and play first, and then come to Zhou Gongzi to apologize after we have taught the child a lesson. ”
The mercenary leader snorted on his horse, glanced at the dozen or so guards and then at the young man, turned to the car and shouted, "We have arrived, please get out of the car!"
Burst!
Suddenly, a thinly dressed woman was pushed down from the two-story car pavilion, and was grabbed by the mercenary leader. The woman lay in the mercenary's arms, stroked her hair, and ignored the amazing eyes of passers-by, and shouted at the car with a dissatisfied face: "Zhou Gongzi, you are too bad!
At this time, the doors and windows on the carriage were wide open, and I saw a handsome boy wearing a brocade robe and a beautiful lady walking out of the cart with one hand in his arms and laughing: "Who told you to tickle me when you helped me put on my boots just now, you should be punished!"
When everyone present saw this, they couldn't help but be in an uproar. After all, I don't know what the good and evil are, and listen to the next decomposition. (To be continued......)
