Chapter 261: Strange Family Affairs

I only heard Qingxing say: "Uncle, what is the name of the bride? Since she is a human, how can she marry the prince of Baling?"

Xu Moyan's heart moved, and he thought: This little girl is so smart and has a good heart, this is for me to ask.

The middle-aged man didn't care about him, and replied: "It seems to be surnamed Jing, as for why he will marry the prince of Baling, the poster is unclear, it seems that he was taken from somewhere." ”

When Xu Mo heard this, he couldn't help but think: The surname is Jing, and she was taken captive again, there is no doubt that this woman is Jing Niangzi. Should I save her now, or should I wait until tomorrow when I get married?

The pothos clapped his hands and smiled: "Great, there are good things to eat." ”

The middle-aged man said: "Little girl, you know how to eat all day long, and you don't learn from your sister Qingxing." Although it was a reproachful tone, there was a smile on his face. Obviously, although he said it harshly, he loved his daughter very much in his heart.

Qingxing smiled and asked, "Uncle, what are we going to prepare?"

The middle-aged man said, "Change into a nice dress and dress up with your heart." The ancestor of this Baling prince and the king of the previous dynasty are family friends, and the family is rich. In his generation, there is another sister who is a concubine for the son of the first assistant of the dynasty, and he himself has traveled everywhere, and he can be described as having a wide range of contacts, and there will be many wealthy families coming to the wedding tomorrow night. Most of these wealthy families are from our Phantom Fox family, if someone takes a fancy to you, it would be good. It's okay for the little girl, and the apricot niece has a good home. In the coming days, under the nine springs, I will see your parents, and I will have an explanation. ”

When Qingxing heard him talk about marriage, she immediately blushed and said embarrassedly: "Uncle, Qingxing is actually ......"

The middle-aged man didn't let her say more, and waved his hand, "Your father and mother entrusted you to me before they died, no matter what, I will help you find a good family." ”

Pothos is not very sensible yet. Listen to her father talk about marriage. I don't pay much attention to it. However, I heard that the sister of the prince of Nabaling was a concubine for the son of the first assistant of the current dynasty, and became curious, "Daddy, can we Phantom Fox intermarry with people? Aren't you afraid that some monks and Taoists will harm her?"

The middle-aged man reached out and stroked his daughter's hair. smiled: "It was in the house of the head of the dynasty." What kind of monk and Taoist priest dares to come to his house to make trouble?"

The pothos let out an 'oh' sound, her eyes flickering. I don't know what comes to mind.

"Prepare well, and I will also prepare some congratulatory gifts, and I will take you there tomorrow night. The middle-aged man dropped his words and walked out.

Xu Mo waited for him to go away, and then came down from the pavilion.

Luluo asked directly, "Hey, did you hear everything?" Xu Mo nodded.

Qingxing continued: "It seems that this bride is the one you are looking for." ”

Xu Mo thought for a moment and asked, "Two girls, where is the Naba Tomb?"

"Out of town. After Qingxing finished speaking, she asked suspiciously, "Are you going now?"

Xu Mo shook his head and said with a smile: "At this time, the city gate has long been closed, and if you want to get out, you will have to wait at least until tomorrow daylight." ”

"Don't. The pothos suddenly screamed and complained, "I still have to eat the wedding wine, you rescued the people, where am I going to eat? ”

Xu Mo was helpless and said apologetically: "A large part of the reason why this Jing lady was taken away was because of me, so I had to save it." Little sister of pothos, I have to be sorry. ”

Lu Luo said: "You can go to the rescue tomorrow night, so that I won't be delayed from eating the wine, and the person will be rescued again, wouldn't it be good?"

"This ......" Xu Mo hesitated for a while, and then thought that Jing Niangzi had been taken away for so long, it seemed that it would make little difference if she went to rescue her during the day or at night tomorrow, if she was defiled by the prince of Naha Ling, after today's night, she would have been defiled a long time ago.

He immediately agreed, "Okay, I'll wait until tomorrow night to save me." ”

The pothos was overjoyed, clapped his hands and smiled: "Okay, I finally have a happy wine to eat." Speaking of this, he suddenly paused, and said, "Uncle, we don't know what your name is." ”

Xu Mo smiled: "Under Xu Mo." ”

"It turned out to be Uncle Xu. The pothos nodded, and suddenly remembered, "Actually, you can pretend to be a guest, go with us, and have a happy meal." ”

Xu Mo couldn't help laughing, "Where can I use ......" As soon as he was halfway through the words, his heart suddenly moved, thinking: God knows how powerful the prince of Naba Ling is, I am so bold to go in to save people, maybe I will suffer. It's better to pretend to be a guest as the pothos said, sneak in, and see the situation clearly before doing it.

I only heard Qingxing smile and said: "He is a human being, how did he get in?" As soon as he entered, he was recognized by someone. ”

Xu Mo was curious and asked, "Miss Qingxing, I see that you are no different from me, how did you recognize me as a human?"

"Hehe!" Lu Luo didn't wait for Qing Xing to answer, and said with a smile: "It's actually very simple, you see ......" said and stretched out a white finger, pointing at his own eyebrows, and then pointing at Xu Mo's eyebrows, "Compared to you humans, our phantom fox's eyebrows are thinner." ”

When Xu Mo heard this, he looked at her eyebrows, and then looked at Qingxing, and found that their eyebrows were indeed much thinner, like two slightly thicker black lines.

I only heard the pothos continue: "Also, also, if you look at the eyes, the eyes of our phantom fox are even narrower than those of you humans. In addition, there are the tails of the eyes, which are upturned upwards. ”

Xu Mo took a closer look at the two of them and found that it was indeed the case. Of course, human society also has natural fox eyes, but they are far less narrow than their eyes, and the tails of their eyes are not as strong as theirs. Especially in these narrow and upturned eyes, there is a faint sense of natural charm.

Xu Mo smiled and praised, "Your eyes are very good-looking. ”

Green pothos smiled: "Your own eyes are so bright, but we say that our eyes are beautiful." Alas, I'd rather have a pair of eyes as bright as yours, strange. How can your eyes be so bright? They seem to glow at night. She didn't know what to say, Xu Mo's eyes were bright, not innate, but naturally due to the psychic eyesight.

Qingxing sighed: "It's okay for eyes like ours to grow on a woman's face." When it grows on a man's face, it is inevitably more feminine and less masculine. Among our phantom foxes, there are some ......"

Speaking of which. His face suddenly turned red. I can't go on. In fact, what she wants to say is that their Phantom Fox clan has a much worse quality of life compared to humans due to this lifestyle. And because of its own natural factors. Born down. With the ability to transmogrify. When they are transformed, most of them are handsome men and beautiful women.

And men have more femininity and less masculinity. With this natural advantage, some men have mixed into human society for the sake of a luxurious quality of life, and have become prostitutes of rich and noble families. The ancestor of the prince of Naha Ling had a very close personal relationship with the former dynasty Wang Shangshu, and there was no such reason in it.

It's just that this kind of thing, how can she, a young girl, be embarrassed to say it.

Xu Mo saw her look embarrassed, and didn't ask much. After thinking about it, he said, "In that case, I disguise myself, can I blend in?"

"Disguise?" Qing Xing's eyes lit up, and she suddenly became interested, and said with a smile: "You squint your eyes, let's see, squint like us." ”

Xu Moyiyan narrowed his eyes. Qing Xing looked at it carefully and said with a smile: "Very good, that's it, but you have to squint your eyes often." In addition, you should also touch your eyebrows and draw the corners of your eyes. ”

Lu Pothos smiled: "Sister Qingxing, let's help him cultivate, otherwise he won't be able to do it alone." ”

Xu Mo was a little reluctant when he heard that he was trimming his eyebrows and drawing the corners of his eyes, but he thought that if he wanted to get in, it seemed that he was the only one, so he had to say, "It's troublesome to the two girls." ”

Qing Xing carried a makeup box with her, and immediately took it out when she heard the words, walked to the edge of Shiweizi, beckoned to Xu Mo again, and said happily: "You come, you come, sit down here." ”

When Xu Mo saw her smile, he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, and thought: This little girl loves to play tricks on people, let her help me draw my eyebrows, I don't know how to tease me.

But at this time, there was no other way but to go to the stone fence and sit down. The two women smiled and helped him trim his eyebrows and draw the corners of his eyes.

After about half an hour, the retouching was complete.

Qingxing took out a mirror, "No, can you take a picture and see if it's the same as before?" she held back a smile, but the smile on her face couldn't be hidden.

Xu Mo looked at her and knew that his current appearance must be very funny. I took the mirror and glanced at it. Qing Xing didn't deliberately tease him, but with the change of his eyes, his appearance and even temperament were very different from the original. It's just that these fox eyes are too feminine, which makes him feel very uncomfortable.

Lu Luo said coquettishly: "If you mix in now, others won't recognize you." Well, but the wedding is tomorrow night, go back today, tomorrow a day, have you always been like this? Tomorrow night, we are going to be with Daddy, but we don't have the time to help you put on makeup. ”

Qingxing glanced at Xu Mo from time to time, with a smile on her face, "It's not bad to take it back like this." ”

Xu Mo said: "It's better to wash it first, and before you leave tomorrow, it's not too late to paint again." It's just that I'm going to trouble the two girls again. ”

In fact, although Xu Mo can't do this kind of thing himself, he can leave it to Xue Ling'er or Lin Xu'er to do. It's just that this matter is already very embarrassing, let Qingxing and Luluo see it, it is a necessity, in his heart, he really doesn't want more people to know about it.

Qing Xing smiled and said, "Then you have to come here again tomorrow." ”

Pothos added, "Well, it's better before dark, as soon as it gets dark, we're going to go out with Daddy." By the way, Uncle Xu, you have to get out of Lu early tomorrow, otherwise you won't be able to get out when the city gate is closed. ”

"That's just as well. Xu Mo nodded, they are phantom foxes, even if the city gate is closed, restore its original form, and find a city gate hole to drill out, there is no need to worry about it, you can't do it.

Then the two women took some water and washed the makeup off his face. It's just that after the eyebrows are retouched, they can't be changed back, which is a pity.

Qing Xing frequently looked at his eyebrows, smiling from time to time. After a while, he said: "Tonight, we have to go out to prepare to see if we can steal two sets of beautiful clothes and come back, so we won't keep you." By the way, since you're going to mix guests, don't forget to bring a congratulatory gift. ”

Xu Mo asked, "What kind of congratulatory gift should I bring?"

Pothos hurriedly replied, "Anything." We Phantom Fox are very poor. Even if it's a family, it can't be compared with you humans, and if you bring a silk horse or a few feet of cloth, it's a very good gift. ”

Xu Mo was too lazy to choose, and then asked, "Is it okay to send silver?"

Qing Xing smiled: "Why not? We don't go out often, that's because we are afraid of being recognized and caught by people, especially monks and Taoists." Some of the brave ones still dare to go out into the street to buy things, so silver is also common to us. It's just that silver is a precious item. Usually locked up. Therefore, it is difficult to steal. ”

Xu Mo said: "In that case, why do you two go and steal it? I will give you some silver, and you can buy it on the street yourself." ”

"This ......," Qing Xing hesitated when she heard this.

But the green pothos said happily: "I have long wanted to go shopping on the street, but it is not easy to steal silver." Even if you steal it. It's just a bit of money. So there is no money on me. Second, even if you have money, you are afraid of being recognized, so you don't dare to go. It's good now. With Uncle Xu with us, Sister Qingxing and I went to the street for a stroll. ”

Xu Moben didn't say that he wanted to accompany him, but when he heard her say this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, thinking: Anyway, I don't have anything to do tomorrow, it doesn't matter if I go with them, just after I finish shopping, let them help me dress up again. So I didn't say much.

Qingxing thought about it for a while, and finally agreed, "Okay, let's go to the street tomorrow, but we have to hide it from my uncle, and I can't let him know it." In addition, you have to disguise yourself, those monks and Taoists have very poisonous eyes, even if they wear makeup, they may be recognized, let's hide. ”

"Yes, that's it." When I get to the street, I must pick out two beautiful flower clothes. It's annoying to wear old clothes that other people have worn. ”

The three of them said some more details and agreed on a place to meet. Xu Mo walked out of the courtyard and returned to his residence all the way.

They rented an independent courtyard, and it was getting late at this time, and most of the girls went to sleep, only Lin Xue's second daughter, Liu Zhenzhen, Hongxian and the other three girls were waiting for him to return in the hall.

Seeing Xu Mo coming back, they greeted him together, and Xue Ling'er shouted, "Childe, you're back." ”

Xu Mo smiled and said, "It's so late, why don't you go to sleep?"

The women were all talking.

The red line said: "Uncle Xu, I'm waiting for you to come back." ”

Liu Zhenzhen asked, "Why didn't you go back until now?"

Lin Xi'er saw his change and said in surprise: "Huh, childe, what's wrong with your eyebrows?"

Xu Mo didn't want to talk about it more, so he said, "I don't have anything to do, it's getting late, let's go to sleep." Then he casually asked, "How was your shopping today, did you buy what you wanted?"

Lin Xu'er said: "After shopping for a long time, I didn't know what to buy, and I almost didn't buy anything. ”

Hongxian said angrily: "Sister Zhenzhen and I met a stinky monk, and somehow recognized my origin, so he had to talk to me, and he finally got rid of it, and it was annoying to death." ”

Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered something, and then said: "By the way, Uncle Xu, your apprentice said that he wanted to worship me as a teacher." ”

"My apprentice?" Xu Mo asked rhetorically, and then asked, "You mean that little pomegranate?"

"yes. The red line said: "That's the guy, Sister Su'er took him to the street and happened to bump into us." At first, it was very stinky, but after I taught me a lesson, I was honest. They pestered me to worship me as a teacher. I asked him who he had studied with before, and he said that he had worshiped a few useless masters before, and then he met you, and he still didn't know if you would accept it, if you didn't accept it, he said that he would worship me as a teacher. ”

Xu Mo smiled: "That kid rebelled really fast, if you are willing to accept him, you can accept it." ”

Hongxian Qi said: "What, Uncle Xu, don't you accept him as an apprentice?"

Xu Mo nodded and responded, "I have no way to accept apprentices. If you want to take it, you can take it, don't worry about me. ”

Red Line snorted, "I don't accept apprentices, besides, this kid rebelled too quickly, this is called deceiving the master and destroying the ancestor, if my master knows the way, I have to kill him with a sword." ”

Xu Mo smiled when he heard this, and then waved his hand, "Well, I know, you all go to sleep." ”

When the maidens heard him say this, they went back to their rooms. However, Lin Xue's second daughter thought that she was his girl, and she waited for him to sleep, and then slept outside.

At dawn the next day, the ladies still went out into the streets to buy things. Xu Mo came out of the inn and went directly to the courtyard last night.

Outside the courtyard, he whistled at the courtyard, and after a while, blew twice, and after a while, blew once, and after a while, blew again, and after a while, blew three more. Repeat a few times.

This is the code he agreed with Qingxing and Luluo last night. When it was blown a second time, there was a cricket cry in the courtyard, intermittently, first once, then three times, and then twice.

Xu Mo knew that Qing Xing and Green Pothos had already known the Tao and responded. At that moment, I walked to a corner and waited, and after a while, I heard Qingxing's voice in the wall and said softly: "Xu Gongzi, are you here?"

Xu Mo also lowered his voice, "It's me, no one now, come out." ”

I only heard Qingxing say again: "It's him, Sister Luluo, you come first." ”

Immediately afterwards, I saw a head poking out of the wall, sure enough, it was a pothos, climbing the wall, Xu Mo stretched out her hand to help, and she jumped off the wall.

Then came Qingxing, as soon as she jumped down, she hurriedly said, "Let's go quickly, get out of here quickly, don't be discovered." As he spoke, he ran into the distance.

Xu Mo and Luluo hurriedly followed.

The three of them moved away from the courtyard, and then slowed down. Both women have already painted makeup, their eyebrows have thickened a lot, they have drawn eye shadow, and the corners and tails of their eyes have been painted, and if you don't look closely, you really can't see the difference in their eyes.

Soon there were more pedestrians on the street. The two women rarely came out at this time, walking in the crowd, nervous, and there was a strange pleasure in their hearts.

Green pothos suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed forward, and laughed quietly: "The clothes store is there, the shopkeeper is very stingy, the good clothes are locked, I used to steal it, but I couldn't steal it, this time I got the opportunity, no matter what, I have to go over and take a look."
