Chapter 85 Special Clay Sculpture

The little concierge shrank his neck from being scolded, and didn't see Eunuch Xi looking at the bushes not far away, and made a slight gesture.

The leaves there moved slightly, a few black shadows flashed, and disappeared in an instant.

Seeing that there were no important guests coming, he shook his robe and walked inside with a smile on his face.

The servants and maidservants who came and went, even the guards in the mansion who saw him at every step and sentry at five steps, all bent down when they saw him.

When Eunuch Xi was far away, Duan Yi led Su Yun out of the bushes.

She raised her head slightly, the sun was a bit dazzling today, she couldn't help stretching out her hand to cover it for a while, so that she could see clearly ahead.Not far away, half of the courtyard wall was newly built, apparently to divide the courtyard into two.

"In the past, the fifth prince was the little follower of the third prince. They lived in the same yard. They had masters and others, and brotherly love. Now, the feng shui has changed overnight, and there is no place for two tigers in one mountain. If you lie in the same coffin, you have to add a partition. Don't talk about living in the same room."

"I just couldn't sleep at night, for fear that my head would be cut off when I woke up the next morning."

Listening to Mr. Yan's familiar tune, Duan Yi rolled her eyes and moved three minutes away from them.

Su Yun glanced sharply, took a sip, and took a step forward, further separating Duan Yi and Cui Zi.

Yan Jing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he put away the fan, and poked Cui Zigeng with the handle of the fan, "Look at you, what are you doing with the little girl's face? It's not enough to offend people."

"Uncle Master's words are not pleasant to listen to. It seems that I am still imitating that tyrant, and started to sit together. I clearly listened to the teaching of Uncle Master, thinking that brothers can cut off their heads, let alone us halfway. The same family who get together."

"Cutting one's head seems too intimate, it's more like skinning. Although I use a spear, I'm also good at using a dagger. Pulling a knife on my brother's face will definitely show his original blood color."

As she spoke, she glanced at Cui Zigeng.

Cui Zi looked back coldly, "Go ahead and give it a try."

Mr. Yan, who was caught in the middle, couldn't see, he grabbed Cui Zigeng's sleeve, pulled him out, rushed ahead of Duan Yi, and walked towards the place where the banquet was set up.

"Duan San, don't we follow? Tell them to take the lead." Su Yun looked at it, his eyes flashed with excitement, and he was eager to try.

"Don't worry, they are starving ghosts rushing to reincarnate. My eldest sister hasn't come back to pray to heaven and earth, so I can't hold a banquet right now. Look at these past maidservants, especially those who are the leaders, and you can find something special ?”

As Duan Yi said, she squinted her eyes, and together with Su Yun, walked towards the inside at a leisurely pace.

There are quite a lot of maidservants in this mansion, and today the mansion is very happy, all of them are wearing uniform white and pink light-colored skirts, they are holding a flower basket in their hands, and they are leading the way forward gracefully in lotus steps, occasionally a few of them are wearing slightly darker clothes Some of them have extraordinary manners, and they look like big maids at first glance.

"The average-looking ones are far inferior to the ones around my unlucky father. I'm not bragging. Back in our mansion, it was the honey bee. My father wanted to inspect it to make sure it was the oiran of the bees."

Duan Yi was speechless, "Look at their wrists."

The little girl's sleeves are narrow sleeves, while the big girl's is like a noble girl, wearing wide sleeves, showing her wrist carrying the flower basket.

What hung on that white and tender wrist was neither a bracelet nor a string of beads.But a string of brightly colored clay sculptures.

"Wow, that sister is wearing a mud monkey. It's so vivid. I don't know which craftsman's handicraft it is. It's quite interesting." Su Yun followed Duan Yi's line of sight and found something strange. .

"In the past, there was a little clay figurine made by Master Yang Huizhi in my house, which was placed on my father's Bogu shelf. I was not sensible at the time, and I played with it, and my neck was twisted."

"My father was so angry that he searched for a new one, saying that it would be buried with him in the future! Later, the new clay figurine was not found, but he did not know where to find eight clay horses. One of them was still alive. Broken tail."

Listening to Su Yun's chatter, Duan Yi stretched out her hand and pulled him aside.

At this time, the third prince's carriage to greet the bride had already entered the gate of the mansion, and the joy was deafening. Those maidservants wearing mud monkeys and mud cranes blended into the crowd and disappeared immediately.

The carriage traveled quite fast, and when Duan Yi and Su Yun arrived at the main courtyard, it was already time for the husband and wife to worship each other.

Duan Xian turned off her fan, revealing a smooth oval face. Today, she looks radiant, like a peony in full bloom.On the contrary, the third prince opposite her had a face as white as paper and looked quite tired.

After the ceremony was over, the floating mat was brought up, Duan Yi found a random table, sat down, and picked up the chopsticks.

From the corner of the eye, he glanced around, looking at the maidservants who brought the wine and dishes to the table.

The weirdness she felt before was not wrong. These people all wore various clay sculptures on their wrists, and almost no two patterns were exactly the same.It is different from the clay sculptures of characters and horses that are popular in the Great Zhou Dynasty today.

What they wear on their hands is either a variety of flowers and plants, or common auspicious small animals, each of which is very small, except for this main one, the others are strange pieces made of mud, strung together together.

"This crab roe tofu is not bad. After a while, the crab will be over." Duan Yizheng saw it with relish, and saw a spoonful of delicious crab roe tofu in his bowl.

She turned her head to take a look, and immediately saw Cui Zigeng's dead face.

"Could it be that the ancestors felt that I hadn't seen them for many days, which added a bit of bad luck to remind me? After all, what poison did you poison?"

Cui Zigeng cleared his throat, and held back the words that came to his lips. He silently pushed the plate of meaty lamb chops in front of his small table to Duan Yi, "You want to know what? Where did it come from? I can take you to see it."

Duan Yi looked up at the sky, "It's still early."

After all, he pushed the mutton chops to Su Yun, "Eat more, it's just when you grow up, Lao Jia picks up so much that he is reluctant to give you meat, don't save your salary, just eat it all." .”

Su Yun's eyes lit up, she bared her teeth at Cui Zi, and then smiled sweetly at Duan Yi.

"Where can I save it? I don't have a big son. The army only sends a few dollars, and it's not enough to plug the gaps between the teeth. Last month, Tieniu got a new daughter. We got together and beat the fat girl. A silver lock. Just a cleat, thin enough to be used as a blade."

"The last time I went back to the city, the envoy bought a roast goose for each of us, hehe!"

As he spoke, he picked up a lamb chop and gnawed it contentedly.
