Chapter 24: Beggars

Meng Guogong is a middle-aged man in his forties, different from the three generations of the Su family, the Meng family is a nouveau riche family, because of Meng Guogong and obtained the wealth of the sky, folk rumors that Meng Guogong is bold and intelligent, and has the talent of the heavens and latitudes, Xu is a lost daughter, so that the white-haired people send the black-haired people, and Meng Guogong's face is full of fatigue.

Duchess Meng Guo held her handkerchief tightly, her delicate face was surprised and nervous, and her voice trembled and asked Su Xia: "You are the Xia Xia Immortal Master in Xinxuan's mouth, do you really have a way to save my daughter?"

The beads are shivering, and the brilliance can't hide Mrs. Meng's withering.

Mrs. Meng used to be a famous beauty in the imperial city, but after Meng Ruyin went, Mrs. Meng washed her face with tears every day, didn't think about tea and dinner, tossed the rest of the month, and the whole person was yellow and thin, so she was defeated.

It wasn't until I heard from the Su family say that there were immortals who could resurrect their daughters, that Mrs. Meng hurriedly passed through the house with big makeup.

Xia Xia saw it in her eyes, and had a general understanding of the Su family and the Meng family in her heart, and comforted Mrs. Meng and said: "Madame, don't worry, I came this time just for Miss Meng's business, Madame relax, Miss Meng's life should not be extinguished, I believe that in a few days, I will be able to appear in front of Mrs. and Grandpa Guo alive again." ”

Meng Guogong was calm and maintained the prestige of his country: "Immortal Master, as long as you can save the little girl, just open your mouth for whatever you want, as long as the old man can do it, you will agree." ”

Xia Xia smiled slyly and did not push back.

Mrs. Meng seemed to be thinking about something, and was silent for a long time before she asked worriedly: "I heard Xinxuan say that the immortal master helped to recover the soul of the little girl, I don't know where Ruyin is now, but it's okay?"

When Su Xinxuan heard this, he said: "Madame is relieved, everything is fine in Ruyin, but Ruyin is different now, and now it is blue and white, and she can't show up." ”

Mrs. Meng's body trembled, she couldn't control her emotions anymore, and rolled down tears: "My hard-working son! It's useless to be a mother, let you go at a young age, the immortal master is merciful, can you let me see my daughter?"

Meng Guogong was also grief-stricken, knowing that his daughter's soul was in the Su family, he was sad and sad: "I ask the immortal master to have mercy on us as parents, let us see our daughter!"

"Sister. Su Xinxuan begged softly: "Let's see Ruyin." ”

Xia Xia glanced at him, when I was in the north, I and I were not enough, and now we have only been separated for a long time before I am reluctant?

"You, you have to be in a hurry for a while!"

Su Xinxuan said aggrievedly: "Sister Mingjian, it's not that I'm the only one who wants to see Ruyin, Uncle Su Shi, Mrs. Su all want to see Ruyin, my grandparents, father and mother, third uncle and third aunt also want to meet, so many people want to meet, sister, let us see it!"

Xia Xia glanced at everyone present, and said with a slight smile: "Since this is the case, then I can't push it back, Xinxuan, you go to Ramadan Tower to get the painting." ”

The picture scroll is long and soothing, and a fresh spring picture is painted on it, and a slender figure stands in the purple and red, dressed in white, floating like a fairy.

The woman in the painting has thin eyebrows and phoenix eyes, a nose and red lips, clear and beautiful like a tree wrapped in silver frost, with a slender body and an independent legacy.

Mrs. Meng covered her mouth and choked silently, this is really her groan, the once living person has now become a fairy in the painting, how can she not make people cry and break their bowels.

Xia Xia chanted a mantra in his mouth, the room suddenly darkened, a white light flew out from Xia Xia's fingertips, fell on the lamp, the white light lit up, and a slender figure in the spring picture curled out and fell to the ground.

Dressed in white, he doesn't look like a ghost, but like a fairy in the world.

"My son!" Mrs. Meng wailed heartbreakingly, rushed up and was about to take Meng Ruyin into her arms, and the hand that reached out went directly through Meng Ruyin's body, Mrs. Meng was stunned, remembering that her daughter was dead, and couldn't help hiding her face and crying bitterly.

Meng Guogong took his wife into his arms with pity and comforted him gently.

Meng Ruyin looked at her sad parents, took two steps forward sadly, and comforted: "Father, mother, your second elder's day is mourning, your daughter is not filial, so that her parents are so sad and sad, father, mother must not break her body for her daughter, otherwise her daughter will be sad if she dies." ”

Mrs. Meng held back her tears, and her heart ached: "Like a groan..."

Meng Ruyin said softly: "Mother, life and death are fateful, Ruyin does not regret what she did, mother should also relax, you are the father's strongest backing in the court, now that the government and the opposition are turbulent, you have to cheer up, otherwise your daughter is really uneasy." ”

Meng Guogong's eyes were full of tears: "Ruyin, are you okay over there?"

Meng Ruyin said softly: "Father is relieved, everything is fine with his daughter, and besides, Xiao Shizi brought his daughter back without fear of hardships and dangers, Sister Xia Xia is even more strange, father and mother don't have to worry about their daughter, I believe that in the near future, the daughter will be able to bear the knees of the second elder!"

Meng Guogong wiped his eyes, nodded approvingly at Su Xinxuan, and said to Xia Xia: "I don't know how the immortal master plans to resurrect Ruyin? ”

Xia Xia nodded, the second elder of the Meng family really loved Meng Ruyin very much: "Grandpa Guo, I will make a list of the things I need later, and when you prepare all the things, I will go to the Meng Mansion and perform spells for Ruyin." ”

When Su Guogong heard this, he hurriedly bowed and thanked him: "There is an immortal master." ”

Mrs. Meng gave a blessing: "We will definitely prepare the things as soon as possible, and then we will trouble the immortal master to use immortal magic to save the little girl." ”

Xia Xia hurriedly helped the two of them up, and said with a smile: "Grandpa Guo, Mrs. Guo doesn't have to be polite, and don't call me an immortal master, I have a relationship with Xinxuan, such as Yin's peers, just call me by my name, I'll go and write down what I need, and without further ado, let's start to let people prepare." ”

Meng Ruyin bowed and smiled slightly: "Thank you, sister." ”

Xia Xia smiled and shook her head, signaling that you don't have to be polite.

Su Xinxuan hurriedly went to get the pen, ink, paper and inkstone and handed it to Xia Xia, Xia Xia took the pen and listed the things needed and handed them to Meng Guogong, Meng Guogong and his wife looked at it and said: "Things are not difficult to find, at most they can be prepared within a day, then we will invite the girl to come to Su Mansion, now we will not bother, Lord Su, the old lady, the two Su brothers, Meng will leave first." ”

Mrs. Su bowed to Mrs. Su, the eldest lady, and the third lady, and said with a smile: "I will invite the old lady and the two ladies to tea another day." ”

Mrs. Su smiled and said, "You, go quickly, when the girl is ready, don't we have time to talk?" ”

Mrs. Su thanked her again and again, and said a few words to Meng Ruyin, and the couple hurried back to Meng's mansion to make preparations.

Early the next morning, Mrs. Su personally came to invite Xia Xia to come to Su Mansion.

Xia Xia took off the picture scroll and put it away, packed the things to be used into a small red lacquered wood carved box, and went out to meet Su Xinxuan, who rushed to hear the news, Xia Xia smiled, handed the box to Su Xinxuan, and went to Mrs. Su to meet the three ladies of the Su family, and then followed Mrs. Meng to the Meng Mansion.

Meng Guogong is a civil official, the courtyard style is different from the simple atmosphere of the Su family, the courtyard of the Su family is small and flowing, graceful and elegant, and you can see rockery turquoise everywhere, Zhilan vine rose.

Mrs. Su led Xia Xia and Su Xinxuan all the way to Fengweiwu, where Meng Ruyin lived before her death, and as soon as she entered the courtyard, she was greeted by a large piece of Xiangfei bamboo.

A clear stream trickles past the front of the house, and a few small fish swim happily.

The scenery of Fengweiwu is pleasant, which makes people feel refreshed.

Xia Xia couldn't help but admire: "Ruyin is really an elegant person." ”

Although Mrs. Su still had a sad face on her face, she didn't see the withering of yesterday, and she said abruptly: "That child likes these bamboos the most, and praises them for their excellent style, so there are no flowers and plants in her house, which makes the girl smile." ”

Xia Xia stretched out her hand and gently brushed the bamboo leaves: "There are these bamboos, and then there are flowers and plants, but they are vulgar." ”

Su Xinxuan said: "I also said so, such as Yin's character, these bamboos are very suitable." ”

When I entered Fengweiwu, I saw a crystal transparent ice coffin placed in the house, which was covered with flowers, and a woman who had fallen into the country and the city was lying peacefully in the coffin, wearing a goose yellow gauze skirt, which made her eyebrows and eyes more and more beautiful, as if she was alive.

"This is an ice coffin sent by Brahma Pure Heaven, which can keep the body incorruptible and maintain the appearance when it was alive. Mrs. Su looked at her daughter in the coffin, loving and sad, she wiped her eyes and said;" Look, I'm so sad that I've forgotten what I'm doing, and I've got everything you want. ”

On the table of the Eight Immortals, several trays were covered with white cloths, Xia Xia opened them and looked at them, and nodded: "The thing is right." ”

Mrs. Meng said: "The master hasn't gone down to the court yet, I really want to see my daughter, Miss Xia Xia, do you think you can do it first?"

Xia Xia held the red lacquer carved box, took out the treasures brought from the north and put them away, these are all Xia Xia specially asked the ghost boy to take before going down the mountain, each one is a rare treasure in the four regions, she nodded, and did not object: "Madame will be outside later, I will perform a spell for Ruyin." ”

Mrs. Meng was overjoyed.

Xia Xia looked at Su Xinxuan with a smile: "You also go out and accompany Mrs. Meng, you are not needed here." ”

"Sister, I'll leave it to you. Su Xinxuan pretended not to hear, walked to the Eight Immortals table and looked left and right at a table of things, looking like he really wanted to help.

Xia Xia couldn't cry or laugh, and invited Mrs. Su out, before saying: "I think the help is fake, I think it is true that she wakes up and sees you for the first time, I won't talk about you if you are careful, I will stand aside later, don't disturb me, if something goes wrong, don't blame me." ”

Su Xinxuan hurriedly stopped: "How could something go wrong? Definitely not go wrong! Sister is so powerful, of course it won't go wrong." ”

Xia Xia ignored him, took out the bronze mask and put it on his face, a bright light shrouded Xia Xia, only to see Xia Xia changed into a colorful sacrificial dress made of animal skins, feathers, etc., two golden bells were strung with a two-finger-thick rope on his waist, and ornaments made of animal bones and feathers were worn on his head, neck, and wrists.

Su Xinxuan rubbed his eyes, looked at Xia Xia in a daze, and blurted out: "Wu." ”

Xia Xia Wan'er smiled, pointed out with his plain hand, the room fell into darkness, the picture scroll flew up, Meng Ruyin walked out, and stood with Su Xinxuan.

"Ready, get started. ”

Xia Xia appeared in the right hand of a small drum of animal skin, his left hand waved his sleeve, and an ancient magic circle lit up under the ice coffin, Xia Xia chanted the ancient Wu clan sacrificial sound, took a treacherous step, and the bell on his waist jingled, Xia Xia danced the ancient and mysterious Wu dance, beating the animal skin drum, the ancient sacrificial sound, the ethereal bell sound, and the thick and majestic drum played the mysterious Wu clan music.

"It's... "Su Xinxuan muttered, he is well-read, and he also has a dabbling in the ancient history of all ethnic groups, and the dance that Xia Xia is dancing now is very similar to the beggar recorded in the ancient history!

Begging arises, against life and death, I don't see the ghost king white-headed sorrow, and I only see the yin and yang of the Wu clan. !

"It's like a groan. ”

Xia Xia snorted softly, and a white light enveloped Meng Ruyin's soul and flew towards the ice coffin.
