Volume 1 Gentleman and Beauty Chapter 2: The moon is full, good separation
"Won't we follow him, Lord Prison?" a voice came from the darkness.
Zong Qianjiao shook his head, "We never care about the Bridge of No Return. However, the news that the newspaper gave to Hejing was word-for-word. ”
On the official road at the foot of Dali Mountain, a dark carriage was parked on the side of the road, and on each of the two red horses in front of the carriage sat a slender figure covered with black veil.
The figure of Chongying appeared at the foot of the mountain, and the figures on the carriage all looked sideways, and one of them whispered: "Your Highness, he has come down the mountain." ”
There was silence in the air, and after a while a soft laugh came from inside the tent: "Giggles...... At the beginning of the story, Dali is finally about to earthquake......"
As the horses' hooves trampled, the carriage sped away on the avenue, disappearing into the horizon. In his original position, Chongming, who had changed his outfit at some point, was standing there, quietly watching the carriage go away, and then raised his hand and took off his mask, revealing a plain face.
At this time, the lines of his face began to change strangely in the moonlight, and soon became another face, with sharp edges and corners, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, but it exuded a gentle air out of place.
Chongming massaged the muscles on his face, looking at the direction where the carriage had disappeared and felt depressed. This Dali princess is really fat, and she really dares to risk being impeached by the court to let him go to this Dali prison. It's just that what does this woman want him to do?
He was puzzled, shook his head in anguish, and then mounted his horse that had been prepared in the woods, and left the foot of the mountain without looking back.
As the most strange mountain group in Dali, even though the peak in the middle is the Dali Heavenly Prison that everyone fears, the travelers from the surrounding towns and cities are still in an endless stream because of the strange mountains and strange rocks.
Duckweed is one of the most inconspicuous towns in this world. It's night, and the lights in the town are scattered, and only a few are busy with the lights all night. In a quiet town, there is a simple noodle shop on the street, which is also lit up, called Bai Kee Noodle House.
On the table in front of the Bai Kee noodle shop sat a girl with outstanding appearance, a pair of beautiful legs as long as jade were exposed in the air without hesitation, boredomly swinging back and forth, and the clogs hanging on the fragrant feet were also gently swaying.
The clogs suddenly stopped shaking, and his legs didn't move, Bai Hongsi stroked his hair, and hurriedly got down from the table, his water-cut eyes seemed to be bent into a crescent moon, and he looked at the ink-clothed young man who walked from the bluestone bricks with a smile. The young man led the horse slowly, and when he saw Bai Hongsi looking over, he immediately smiled back.
"Xiaobai, if you come later, I'll close the door. ”
"That's not good, you're going to go to Beijing to develop, who knows how long it will take to see you?" Also, Xiao is not small, and the pronunciation must be read accurately. ”
Xiao Bai looked left and right, and finally found a stake to wrap the horse's reins around, then patted the Rakshasa mask hidden in the ink coat on his chest, walked past Bai Hongsi, and entered the noodle restaurant by himself.
Bai Hongsi smiled and followed: "What's the matter?"
Xiao Bai sat down and took a sip of water, thought about it and made up his words: "I mean I can't see the noodle soup you cooked." ”
"Eh, why are you putting a big tree here? Hurry up and cook a bowl, my stomach is flat. ”
"Got it, got it!
Bai Hongsi rolled her eyes, isn't that still reluctant to her, Xiao Bai's stunned head was deliberate. It didn't take much effort, Bai Hongsi came over with a bowl of steaming noodles and put it in front of Xiao Bai angrily.
Xiao Bai grabbed the chopsticks and took a bite, and couldn't help but show a comfortable expression as he chewed the unique noodles. Bai Hongsi looked in a better mood, and a smile appeared in her beautiful eyes, as if she had returned to the time when she carried home a half-dead fool who was still clamoring for revenge two years ago.
Bai Hongsi held her cheeks and stared at the face full of comfort, and after looking at it for a long time, her heart suddenly moved, and the ghost made a mistake.
"Or ...... You're going to Hejing with me?"
"Don't go. ”
Xiao Bai refused without thinking, and swallowed the chewed dough residue through the hot soup before looking at Bai Hongsi and said, "I will go to Hejing, but not now." ”
Bai Hongsi nodded slightly, those watery eyes looked away, but his mind was still here, "You still want revenge?"
Xiao Baizui paused, then picked up the bowl and drank it clean, he looked at the blurred shadow in the empty bowl, and a cold breath bloomed between his eyebrows.
Two years ago, he was also angry and high-spirited, but in a conspiracy, he ruined his voice. Fortunately, he kept the secret and survived, and became the husband of Xiao Bai, the proprietress of the noodle shop in Duckweed Town, and was also the number one assassin in the Red Snow Pavilion Red Character Hall.
"Alas, forget it, you have completely gone from being stunned to a tendon in the past two years......"
Bai Hongsi sighed and took the bowl, and when she stood up, Xiao Bai also stood up, and he swore and said: "Boss, don't worry, when I finish my past, I will go to Hejing to marry you in a beautiful way!"
Bai Hongsi looked at Xiao Bai's eyes attentively, those eyes were deeper than two years ago, and he seemed to be about to fall into them at a glance. Bai Hongsi chuckled, pinched the chopsticks and knocked Xiao Bai's head, pretending to be disgusted: "Stupid, how many times have I said it, I married you!"
Xiao Bai scratched his head and smiled: "Yes, yes, you marry me, so unless you divorce me, I will be your person for two or three lifetimes, and I will never leave you." ”
Bai Hong walked into the back kitchen with a smile, and scolded with a smile as she walked, but the smile gradually dissipated after entering the back kitchen, and a touch of melancholy and melancholy appeared.
"Are you going to settle your past, and I'm going to end my past......? Past ......"
She wiped the bowl absentmindedly, and the moonlight shining through the window on her face with a pitiful loneliness. Xiao Bai leaned against the door frame of the back kitchen, and he wanted to speak for a while, until he saw Bai Hongsi wipe his hands dry, and he didn't ask a word.
Xiao Bai knew that Bai Hongsi also had an unknown past, but he didn't ask, because Bai Hongsi didn't ask about his past either. But many times, it's not that the other party doesn't want to speak, it's just waiting for you to speak first. However, how can it be so easy to write.
"Hand on!"
"Good. ”
Xiao Bai helped Bai Hongsi pack her clothes and jewelry, and after a lot of effort, the two sat down at the table and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Lady ...... Boss"
"Huh, changed your mind?"
"No, I just want to say, you have so many clothes, no wonder I hardly see you wearing the same clothes...... Eh, ears...... It hurts, it hurts!"
Bai Hongsi twisted the hot ear fiercely, and only withdrew her hand contentedly when she heard the plea for mercy. Xiao Bai rubbed his ears, glanced at this inexplicable woman with resentment, and read two sentences in pieces.
"What did you say?"
"Ahem, I'm actually curious, why do you bring so many useless sundries, these can be bought when you arrive in Hejing. A bowl of noodles will charge me two pieces of golden flowers, and I have not owed a bowl of credit for two years, can you still lack money?"
Bai Hongsi stretched out her white hand, which was more or less calloused.
"What for?"
"Face money, I forgot if you don't say it. ”
Xiao Bai patted his forehead, scolded secretly, and obediently took out two thumb-sized pieces of brilliant golden flowers and put them on that distressing hand. Bai Hongsi frowned when she saw it, and moved her fingers, "There is still one piece left!"
"Why? Isn't it a bowl of two golden flowers?"
"The price has gone up, and now it's three. "Brooklyn is right.
Xiao Bai pouted and put another one, and suddenly felt that the hand didn't look so distressing, but a little arrogant and unreasonable.
There are three kinds of Dali money, paulownia leaves, silver dollars, and gold flowers. Fifteen hundred paulownia leaves can be exchanged for one silver dollar, and ten silver dollars are equivalent to one golden flower. The three golden flowers have a full 45,000 paulownia leaves, which is worth the surplus of ordinary people's homes for a year.
Bai Hongsi smiled and put the golden flower into the money pocket, patted the bulging money pocket, and felt satisfied. The money pocket was very special, with a red carp embroidered on it, but it was a carp with three tails.
This is actually Xiao Bai's former money bag, but Bai Hongsi was happy when she saw this carp, so she asked Xiao Bai to give it to her. How did Bai Hongsi know that Xiao Bai deliberately showed her that the pattern of the three-tailed carp was of great significance on the rivers and lakes, representing the heirs of the great officials. Seeing anything with this three-tailed carp pattern, the green forest mountain bandits would never dare to rob it, because if they offended the officials, they would lose more than they would gain by destroying the village.
The embroidery of the three-tailed carp is different from the ordinary female red, it is from the royal red workshop dedicated to the royal family, and the embroidered three-tailed carp is vivid and difficult to imitate, and moreover, if the three-tailed carp is forged, it will be in prison for life.
"Boss, if someone in Hejing asks where this money bag came from, you will say that your husband gave it to you. ”
Bai Hongsi rolled her eyes, "It was originally sent by my husband." ”
"Then if someone else asks you what your husband's surname is?"
"Then I don't tell him, and I'll answer if you ask me?"
Xiao Bai smiled dumbly and shook his head for a while, "If someone from the great family really asks you where this thing comes from, you will say that it is a token of love given to you by the husband surnamed Yun." ”
"That's not good!" Bai Hongsi categorically refused, "How can a good-looking broken money bag be a token of love, don't try to fool me!"
"It's just an excuse. ”
"No excuses!"
Xiao Bai couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and it took a long time before he came back to his senses, and said helplessly: "Okay, I will seriously consider the love token, but do you remember what your husband's surname is?"
"Remember, surname Lin. ”
"No, it's a cloud, the cloud floating in the sky!"
"Oops, remember, remember!"
Bai Hongsi waved her hand impatiently, not wanting to discuss this topic that Xiao Bai was particularly concerned about. The two were silent for a long time, and Bai Hongsi stood up and sat down on the table outside the door to watch the moon.
"The full moon is still as beautiful as ever. ”
"I think the crescent moon is more durable than the full moon. ”
Xiao Bai also walked out, leaning against the door and muttering, causing Bai Hongsi to move his fingers again. After a while of playing, Bai Hongsi withdrew his hand, squatted down on the threshold beside Xiao Bai, looked at the full moon like a mirror, and said abruptly: "The jade plate is hanging in the sky, and the world is so reunited, why do you want to separate when you come to me?"
Xiao Bai was rubbing the painful flesh on his waist, and when he heard this, he withdrew his hand and boldly knocked it on Bai Hongsi's head, and sneered: "I don't think the moon will be full for a few days, and it will start to grow crippled again after the fifteenth day...... Heh, in the end, it doesn't have to go our separate ways. ”
Bai Hongsi suddenly laughed when she listened, she didn't respond to Xiao Bai's knock for the first time, she reached out and pulled Xiao Bai to sit down, holding the arm and leaning on the solid shoulder.
"The old rule, I'll sleep first, and you leave while I'm asleep. ”
Xiao Bai bowed slightly, as if it had become a warm and soft pillow, and let Bai Hongsi sleep on it. Hearing the sound of breathing gradually becoming soft and even, he smiled and stroked the woman's hair, hooked the nose again, and gently picked it up and sent it into the noodle shop.
The moon was getting hazy, and the young man in ink led the horse out of duckweed town, and once again walked into the magnificent rivers and lakes, but this time, he was no longer the duckweed that followed the waves, but the giant oars that were about to stir up the waves.
He looked back and smiled.
"See you in Tsurukyo. ”
......
In the early morning of the next day, Bai Hongsi in Bai Kee Noodle Restaurant woke up slowly, and was happily humming the tune on her back to carry her bags, and suddenly the tune stopped, she scratched the three thousand troubles, and muttered a little confused.
"By the way, what was his previous name...... Oh, Lin, yes, that Lin floating in the sky! Hee-hee, I have a good memory, da-la-da......"
