Chapter 9: The Eve
Early in the morning, there are still many shrine maidens arriving one after another. The witch girl who has been there for a long time is watching the fish on the folding bridge, although there are witches who are a little older, but it is difficult to get the palace of the Duyi Palace, and they are all interested in watching the fish together, and the witches are not very formal.
The cuckoo went to the pool to find Lin Yu. Sure enough, Lin Yu was on the folding bridge, and the cuckoo passed. Lin Yu pulled the cuckoo with one hand, and handed the dry food to the cuckoo with the other, and the cuckoo pulled a little bit down to feed the fish.
The cuckoo saw shrine maidens with tattoos on their faces, necks, or hands, as well as tigers, dragons, snakes, trees, and flowers. Some witches wear snake-shaped silver hairpins, and some witches wear silver bells and walk with "jingling". There are also various fabrics, such as feathers, skins, etc. Although it is already spring, it is still cold, but there are shrine maidens who show their arms, abdomen, or legs. Cuckoo's thoughts, this is lively and easy to see.
When the fish had seen enough, the shrine maidens dispersed, and they had to prepare their utensils for three days from tomorrow onwards.
Lin Yu and the cuckoo went to Lin Yu's house to talk. Lin Yu asked, "You also arrived yesterday?"
The cuckoo replied, "Well, we came by carriage, but our two villages are so close to each other, but we don't take the same carriage." ”
Lin Yu said: "It should be determined by courtiers who don't know much about geography. Then he asked, "Was the journey smooth?"
The cuckoo replied, "It's fine, it's just that it's not very good for a horse-drawn carriage, and it's bumpy on the country road, but it's okay on the stone roads in the city." ”
Lin Yu also said: "I also think that the carriage shakes badly, and I get used to it when I shake it on the carriage for a day." Then he asked, "Who picked you up in a carriage?"
The cuckoo said, "Gongzi Fang, what about you?"
Lin Yu said: "It's Gongzi Yin, has Gongzi Fang ever neglected you?"
The cuckoo said, "No." I was dizzy from the bumps in the carriage, and Gongzi Fang stopped for me to rest and did not slack off. ”
Lin Yu said: "Gongzi Yin is very thoughtful to me, and stopped to let me drink water and rest." I thought that the boys' attitude towards civilians would be somewhat contemptuous. ”
Du Juan noticed that Lin Yu's expression was slightly different, and he didn't think about it, and said: "Gongzi and commoners are both human beings, no matter who they are, there should be no difference in attitude. If Gongzi Yin is arrogant to you, it is not his. ”
Lin Yu said: "Despite this, there are many people in the world who treat others differently. Juan Er is pure in heart and does not know the world. ”
The cuckoo said: "I don't know. Then he asked, "What do you want to prepare for tomorrow's competition?"
Lin Yu said: "Bring everything that can be used, and I don't know what the test questions are." ”
The two of them said something like they were used to living. After speaking, the cuckoo went back to his room to rest.
The next day, several carriages carried the shrine maidens into the palace. The carriage stopped at Gaomen, and the palace guards checked it and let it go. After the inventory of the Kumen and the Pheasant Gate, he got off the carriage at the door.
The main hall of the rhododendron is located on the top of the three stone steps, the beams, the columns, the bucket arches, the eaves, stand majestically, and the weather is extraordinary. When you look closely, the tile of the eaves is engraved with auspicious words, and the beams, columns, and bucket arches are carved with divine beasts and cloud patterns, and the decoration is exquisite.
The guards ushered the shrine maidens into the court. The cuckoo saw that the doors and windows were covered with gold and silver, or pitch black, dark green and other colors, and the bronze candlesticks and incense burners were placed on both sides, which were resplendent in gold. There are not a few guards, courtiers, princes, and grandsons in the main hall, plus dozens of witches, but they still feel empty. The cuckoo admired the craftsmen who designed and built the palace.
