Chapter 12: Homecoming
The shrine maidens inquired about each other's villages, and there were shrine maidens such as Quarin Yu and Cuckoo who played the harp or danced. After everyone spoke, they went back to clean up, and some were ready to go home, and the results of the competition will be announced soon.
The cuckoo belt doesn't have many belongings, and it is quick to pack up. Lin Yu entered the cuckoo house and said in surprise: "Hey, it was cleaned up so quickly." ”
The cuckoo asked Lin Yu, "Have you cleaned up?"
Lin Yu said: "It's not too late to clean up when the results come out." Then he asked, "If you were at the top of the rankings, would you stay in the capital?"
The cuckoo replied lightly: "When I go home, it's time to add a new member to the swallow's nest under the eaves." ”
Lin Yu smiled and asked, "Aren't there any swallows in Duyi?"
The cuckoo didn't answer, but said, "You are undoubtedly in the top four, have you thought about it?"
Lin Yu said: "I want to play in Duyi for more days." You won't be ranked after me. If it turns out well, would you like to stay with me?"
Du Juan said: "After my aunt's teaching, we don't have much time to get along for a long time, of course I want to be with Yu'er." It's just that there are many rules in the palace, and it is not as free and easy as going up and down the mountain and water in the village. ”
Lin Yu said: "Duyi is located at the confluence of the two rivers and merge into Daze, how can there be no place to go up the mountain and down the water?"
Du Juan looked at Lin Yu's sparkling eyes and asked, "Yu'er has made up her mind?"
Lin Yu said: "Well, yes." I'm begging Juan Er to stay. ”
The cuckoo sighed: "It doesn't matter where you can be with Yu'er." ”
Lin Yu's eyes crooked with a smile, took Du Juan's hand, and said, "Juan is the best." ”
The master of ceremonies and several attendants went to the annex to announce the names of the top ten shrine maidens. The first four digits are established, and the last six digits are pending. If any of the shrine maidens in the previous rank give up for any reason, the later ones will be filled in the order of rank. Lin Yu and Du Juan ranked first and second respectively, the third was Hong Yi from Puling Village, and the fourth was Ge Ling from Liang Village.
If there are no shrine maidens who give up for some reason that day, then the four great shrine maidens who accompany the priesthood will be determined, and the next day there will be a carriage to send the rest of the shrine maidens home. In the village where the four Great Witches live, they will also arrange for the outgoing Great Witch to choose and teach their successors. The cuckoo thought that this arrangement was very appropriate.
The four great witches went to settle in Qingfen Garden, which was separated from the palace by a wall. Although Qingfenyuan is not large, there is only one hall and several side rooms surrounding the herb garden, but it is more than enough to house the five great witches of the main priest and the accompanying priest. The great witches didn't need to serve people, only four grandmothers who swept the door.
Lin Yu and Du Juan had just lived in Qingfenyuan for two days, Kan Yun and Kan Zhe arrived, and Peng Village was not too far from Duyi. Kan Zhe sent Kan Yun and went to other affairs. Lin Yu and Du Juan welcomed Kan Yun into the cuckoo's house to drink water and eat rice cakes. Kan Yun rushed all the way, but he was also thirsty and hungry. Lin Yu and Du Juan waited for Kan Yun to finish eating and drinking.
Kan Yun said: "My brother just happened to enter the city for something, so he brought me here." Sister-in-law, let me see if you live and eat habits. And let me bring you some candy. ”
Lin Yu and Du Juan thanked him.
Kan Yun looked around and said, "I ate what you made just now, it's good, and the accommodation is spacious." ”
Lin Yu said: "Yun'er went back and told her aunt that she didn't have to worry about it. She can come and see us whenever she is free. ”
Kan Yun said: "It's a pity that the witch of Peng Village was not selected. You know, Yiyi Village and Lanshui Village received the money and cloth rewarded by King Wu, which was enough for the whole village to use for a whole year, and the other villages were so envious that their eyes were about to fall. ”
Cuckoo said: "The witch of Peng Village may not be so willing to be chosen, maybe she deliberately behaves ordinary. ”
Kan Yun was surprised and asked, "Why?"
The cuckoo asked rhetorically: "If you think about it, my aunt was chosen but gave up, why?"
Kan Yun suddenly realized and said, "Reasonable." ”
While talking, Kan Zhe asked the janitor to tell Kan Yun that it was time to go home, and it was not early. Kan Yun couldn't give up. Lin Yu and Du Juan brought back the cloth rewarded by King Wu to Kan Yun, but Kan Yun refused to accept it. Lin Yu and Du Juan only thanked Aunt Lin Yu for her teaching, and Kan Yun no longer shirked and thanked the two with a cloth.
