Hibiscus Flower West Moon Splendid

Chapter 31
Qiao Wan snorted and said, "Your Majesty has an order, and anyone who dares to disrespect Miss Jin will be killed without mercy."

Jinxiu poured her own drink there, with a slight smile on her lips, as if everything had nothing to do with her.My heart throbbed for a moment, my sister, what exactly have you experienced that made you so calm about the pain?

At this moment, Yuan Fei, who had been silent all this time, said coldly, "Cut off your tongue."

I was shocked, knowing that this was already the lightest punishment for Lu Yuan, and I didn't kill him because he was a craftsman and could be used.I stood up and poured a glass of wine for Yuan Feibai with a smile, "Third Master, today is Qixi Festival, we are comparing ingenuity, not tongue-cutting, for the sake of Empress Qiao, let Lu be spared." Be a strong man!" I walked over and poured a glass of wine for Jinxiu, "What do you think of Jinxiu?"

She raised her head and took a deep look at me, took it over and said with a smile: "Sister is always kind-hearted." She looked at Qiao Wan, "Hurry up and let this ugly monster go!"

Qiao Wan said: "But girl, this guy is so violent, let the tiger go back to the mountain, what if he comes to harm the girl again?"

Jin Xiu said coldly: "You really talk more and more now."

Qiao Wan immediately released Lu Yuan.

Wei Hu quickly stepped forward to thank Miss Jin and the third master, and after casting a grateful glance at me, he secretly touched Lu Yuan's Ya acupuncture point and dragged him down.

Jinxiu sighed, "What a disappointment! Tonight on Qixi Festival, I heard that the night market in Xi'an is open. I wonder if the third master can let my sister and Xiao Wuyi and Jinxiu go for a visit. They will return it within two hours!"

I looked at Yuan Feibai with a happy face.He looked at me for a while, nodded and said: "Then there are Miss Laojin and Qiao Zhuangshi. Suhui, you can't make mistakes if you follow the girl."

Su Hui hummed happily.I excitedly walked forward and held Jinxiu's hand.

She trembled slightly, and finally shook my hand back.

Xi'an City used to close its gates as soon as the sun went down. There was a night ban in the city, and there were even restrictions on burning candles and lanterns. Anyone who violated the rules would be punished.However, under the starry sky of the Qixi Festival, Xi'an Night Market is bustling with people coming and going.

A line of groups and shops, like spring flowers, are competing to bloom, and no one is far behind.The shopkeepers all offered the most attentive smiles to the customers, the hawkers in that room sang songs like orioles, and the sugar shop in this room sent a strong sweet fragrance.

The open space is full of teenagers competing in kites, bicycles, and medicine lines. They look up at the night sky and enjoy the most brilliant fireworks in the history of the night sky.

The Taiping car set off from the city, took the night, and walked slowly and steadily to the embankment to deliver goods for the ships that will sail tomorrow.

Fresh fruits compete for beauty in the stalls, and they look different under the candlelight.We gathered around a pile of peaches and picked them.I picked the biggest and reddest one for Jinxiu.Jinxiu happily took it, as if she was back to the one who always followed me to beg for food when I was a child, of course this time it was all paid by Song Minglei.

Time seemed to slow down suddenly.The few of us strolled and watched while chewing on peaches with gum in our mouths, appreciating carefully, like fish swimming in spring water, leisurely enjoying the indescribable magnificence and inexhaustible elegance.

On Xuanwu Street, there are densely packed medical shops: Jinzi Medical Official Pharmacy, Du Jingou Family Veterinary Department, Bai Langzhong Pediatric Department...

These shops all have unique signboards. We were laughing at the image of a huge fat pig in Du Jingou's house, and suddenly found that there was a shop selling throat medicine, and it was decorated with the Shenglian Duck Show that Yuan Feibai painted last time. The copy of the picture, "Ai Lian Shuo" is signed by my crooked name Hua Hibiscus.This undoubtedly raised the grade of this pharmacy, and it really attracted many citizens to watch it.

I secretly complained, Yuan Feibai promised me to give this painting to me, why did it spread again?Jinxiu's face suddenly pulled down, and she gave me a cold look, "What a piece of "Ai Lian Shuo", congratulations sister, you can become famous all over the world with the third master."

Just as I was about to defend myself, I came to Beishan Tea House, where a "fairy cave" and a "fairy bridge" were specially built to attract ladies and gentlemen to come here for tea at night.Jinxiu yelled that she was thirsty, and walked in regardless of us, Qiao Wan immediately followed.

Biying came over and said softly: "Mu Jin, don't be angry, she is still a child."

I nodded with a wry smile and followed them into the tea house.

After entering the fairy cave, I saw an elderly "grandmother ordering tea" with five golden flowers on her head, but the old lady wanted to put on a pretty face, which made people laugh.She sang and peddled the ingredients for fragrant tea, while singing, she also knocked on the cups, shaking her head and making a decision.We ordered a pot of Ziyang Maojian and some Suzhou and Hangzhou preserves from her, and took a rest.

The mother-in-law said with a smile to Biying, "Young girl is so pretty, she will definitely get a noble son-in-law in the future."

Biying's face immediately turned red, and her eyes couldn't help but glance at Song Minglei.

I tried to talk to Jinxiu, but she only politely pulled Biying and Song Minglei to talk, and ignored me again.Little girl film.

After a while, we left the teahouse and came to the famous Panlou Night Market.There are more than a hundred kinds of counterfeit goods sold in Panlou, and they have invaded several squares. However, the citizens of Xi'an still flock to the night market, which makes it impossible for cars and horses to pass.

We couldn't squeeze in, so I paid for it myself at the gate of the night market and bought black-faced and snub-nosed Kunlun slave masks for the few of us to wear, and Jinxiu's complexion was slightly better.

Near midnight, I came to Fengyi Building on the edge of Weihe River.A painting boat berthed to the shore, and a noble man in brightly dressed clothes led a dozen concubines, singers, and dancers to sing and dance on the boat.For a moment, silk orchestral music and sweet voices of Yingying were uploaded to the shore from the boat, making people forget that it was late at night...

We played all the way, and came to Zhuque Street full of calligraphy, paintings and antiques.Jinxiu went straight to a scholar selling poetry and essays, and asked him to write a quatrain with the title "waves" and rhyme with the word "red".The book grew extremely fair and delicate. He took a look at Jinxiu, amazement flashed in his eyes, and he happily took up his pen and wrote:
The autumn water of a river soaks the cold sky, and the fishing flute plays the evening wind for no reason.

Who will break Wanlibo's heart?Shattered red in the shadow of the setting sun.

We were all taken aback, we didn't expect there to be such a master of poetry in this market.There he marked a price of [-] Wen for each song, and fined him [-] Wen for stopping writing and ink.

At this time, a woman came over and asked to write a poem with the title of "white fan". The scholar wanted to raise his pen, and the woman asked to use the word "red" as a rhyme.He wrote without hesitation:
Always in the hands of a beautiful woman, waiting for the bright moon to move and the wind.

Sometimes he half-covers his shameful face, revealing a little rouge and a little red.

Song Minglei smiled slightly, took out a piece of Luyan note paper and gave it to him, without saying a word.The scholar looked at Song Minglei, pondered for a while, and wrote under the title "Paper":
Six or seven leaf reeds in the autumn water, two or three geese by the sunset.

The blue sky is unobstructed for thousands of miles, breaking through the cold pond with a touch of smoke.

We are amazed that selling poetry requires keen talent, which cannot be achieved without long-term training and extensive knowledge. Moreover, the poems of this young scholar are refreshing.We couldn't help asking the scholar's name, and he smiled at us elegantly, showing his lovely pear holes on his cheeks, "Xiaosheng's surname is the same, and his name is Zhongshu."

Let go?Why is the name so familiar?

Song Minglei paid one or two taels of silver, which was much more than what was due.The scholar was about to resign when suddenly a dragon dance team came up the street.With the sound of gongs and drums, the crowd became excited and crowded towards the dragon dance team in piles. The huge crowd rushed over all of a sudden, and Jinxiu, Song Minglei, me, and the others were all washed away.

Holding the Kunlun slave mask in my hand, I called Jinxiu's name everywhere, but the crowd was so crowded that I kept being pushed into the distance, and I couldn't see Jinxiu's figure at all.After a while, the dragon dance team seemed to have passed, fireworks began to be set off by the river, people rushed to the river, and I was pushed to the bank by the crowd again.Under the fireworks, I vaguely saw a slender figure. I walked over, and the man was turning his head towards me. He was wearing the same Kunlun slave mask as I was holding on his face. A pair of purple pupils shone brightly under the brilliant flames. .

I was overjoyed, and walked up to her, holding her hand tightly, for fear of being separated from her again, "Why did you come here alone, so that my sister can find it easily. What about the second brother and the others? You and them also Are you separated?" I murmured.

And she just silently let me lead her hand and didn't answer me, probably still angry with me.

I sighed secretly in my heart.

Crowds flocked to the river, and the market seemed much empty.I took Jinxiu to an alley, and her hands were as cold as ice. I rubbed her hands and said distressedly: "I told you to come out and wear more, but I didn't listen. You are so old, and you still don't know how to take care of her." Own."

She looked at me coldly and didn't answer.I was a little discouraged, and when I thought of her suffering, my heart ached again, "I know you hate my sister for being incompetent, but do you know how sad my sister is when she hears you suffering? My sister wished she could grow a pair of purple eyes , so that I can suffer for you. It’s too late to say so now, I know you definitely don’t believe what my sister said, and you won’t forgive her.”

Jinxiu has always been taller than me, and under the bright starlight, she looks slimmer than usual.

"Don't listen to those rumors. The third master only dotes on me. The third master only regards me as a shield for his sweetheart. My sister named the pearl crossbow Changxiangshou, hoping that he can get along with his lover as soon as possible." When my sweetheart gets together and stays together, that sister can live freely..." I looked at her, tears streaming down my face unconsciously, "My dear sister, you and my sister will leave Xi'an together, let's go to our elder brother and forget our original family All the unhappiness, start your life again, okay? Even if one day my sister is gone, and you leave the original family's right and wrong nest, with the protection of your elder brother, you will not be hurt again." I looked at her enthusiastically.

She stared at me silently, and after a while, she slowly reached out to wipe away the tears from the corners of my eyes.

I was overjoyed, and tightly held her hand that wiped my tears, "It's so beautiful, have you promised my sister yet?"

"Mujin, where are you?" Song Minglei's voice came.

I let go of Jinxiu's hand, turned around excitedly, and shouted to Song Minglei: "Second brother, we are here!"

Song Minglei's figure appeared at the corner, and I was about to pass by, when behind him slowly walked out a beautiful woman in white clothes, with shining purple pupils, looking forward and looking graceful.She was holding the same Kunlun slave mask as mine, and said impatiently to me: "Second brother and I have been looking for you for a long time, where did you go for a stroll?"

In an instant, my fine hairs stood up one by one.Did I see the hell just now?In front of him was Jinxiu with purple pupils, so who was the person with purple pupils just now?When I looked back, the dark alley behind me was already empty, only the coldness of that person seemed to be in my hand.
