Chapter 18

"Miss Yunqi, the name of Nuode is under the name, and she is also from Ailan. When I walked to the door, I couldn't help but want to come in and find out."


On the first day of March, there are still two days before the Shangsi Festival on the third day of March.

This is Yunqi's first spring in Datang.

With the help of Dou Sanlang, after living in Datang for three months, she already has her own home, friends, neighbors, and her own business.

In the morning, the alleys of Nanqu in Pingkangfang, Chang'an City, are already bustling with pedestrians coming and going, and the cries of small merchants and peddlers can be heard endlessly.

Suddenly, a young boy's voice yelled, full of surprise, "Taoist, look quickly——"

Hearing the sound, the surrounding pedestrians all looked sideways.

The spring light melted into gold, and the brilliance was bright, a tall figure came. It was a man in his twenties, wearing a slim black Taoist robe, walking on the wind, and his clothes fluttered under the spring light, like a fairy.

Following the direction of Daotong's finger, the Taoist saw a small facade in the deep alley.

The door was ajar, and a few pots of flowers and plants were placed on the stone steps at the door, swaying in the gentle morning wind.

The spring is brilliant, the green orchid leaves are long and green, and the royal blue orchid petals are exquisite and elegant, as if carved from beautiful jade, exuding a soft blue light.

Nanqu gathers business travelers from all over the country, and even the world. The men who come here to hunt for beauty only have eyes for the enchanting woman walking through the fireworks alley, but he can tell at a glance that it is the extremely rare "drunken exquisite".

Zui Linglong grew up in the deep and treacherous mountains and dense forests in southern Yunnan, that kind of place is not accessible to ordinary people.

He had strode out of the door, looked up, and there were two extremely elegant vermilion small seal characters written on the small plaque: "Jianjia".

This is obviously a family that sells flowers and trees for a living. Before entering the door, the fresh and elegant fragrance of flowers has already hit the nostrils.

Opening the door, the room was dimly lit, but there was no one inside, a voice that couldn't tell the difference between men and women, shouted in a particularly broken voice: "There are guests—"

After a while, his eyes got used to the dim light inside. Although the flower shop had a small facade, as he walked in step by step, the inside was very open.

There are countless flowers and plants placed high and low in the room, but most of them are bluegrass.

Spring is the season when orchids are in full bloom. Some pots are as small as a fist, and the flowers are only the size of a flying firefly, while others are tall and prosperous. Clusters of wine-red flowers rush straight to the beams of the roof.

The fragrant orchids floated in the flower house, and he couldn't help but marvel in his heart, all of them were treasures that he had never seen before.

Because there are so many flowers and trees, even though the windows are open, the indoor light is still somewhat dim.

Through the screen, you can see the flower stand with wisterias climbing it. Behind the flower stand, there is a faint rockery. On the other side of the rockery, there are bursts of crisp and pleasant music.

Following the sound of the piano, he walked slowly through the flower house, and came to the wisteria tree behind the house, the invisible voice shouted again: "The guest has come in, the guest has come in—"

He couldn't help laughing, a white parrot covered in white feathers and with a vermilion crest on its head was parked on the flower stand, its dark eyes were staring at him like a thief, its wings spread out, about a foot long .

No matter who it is, as long as they walk in here, they will be attracted and can't help but want to walk in.

Along the stone path next to the rockery, he has entered a quiet and elegant bamboo forest behind the rockery.

The morning light slanted into the bamboo forest, and the dense bamboo color surrounded the octagonal pavilion. A woman was sitting in the pavilion playing the piano.

"Hands are like catkins, skin is like creamy fat, collar is like grub, teeth are like gourd rhinoceros, gnat's head is like moth eyebrows, smiling sweetly, beautiful eyes looking forward to it." The Taoist stood still in a daze, and murmured in his mouth, "It turns out that what is said in the poem it is true"

The woman wore a plain white dress, her black hair hung down like flowing clouds, exuding a hazy brilliance like the moonlight, her complexion was snow-white, and that white was like white jade, soft and crystal clear, pure and not offending the world.

She lowered her head, her hands were soft and soft, and her onion-like fingers were gently squeezed and twisted slowly, light and agile, as if she was dancing.

The music is also charming, as clear and ethereal as a mountain spring, as if dancing and swaying with the whirling bamboo leaves.

When he saw the man outside the pavilion, he was startled, and his heart was inexplicably sour.

The man dancing swords in the forest glade accompanied by the sound of the zither, was dressed in a white silk shirt, with a palm-wide "two bats wearing bamboo" trim embroidered with sky blue and water green silk threads on the sleeves, he was tall and strong, His features were handsome, and his gestures carried both the elegance and elegance of a handsome prince, as well as the vigor and strength unique to a warrior.

The bamboo wind blows gently, with a faint bamboo fragrance.

And the man's sword, as fast as lightning, has suddenly turned into a breeze and bamboo shadow, the sword is fast and the man is faster, the man and the sword are integrated into one.

The sword shadow shuttled and swam, and the bamboo leaves were driven away from the tree by the sword energy, spinning and falling like snowflakes.

Who is she?
Who is that man?with her
The sound of the piano stopped suddenly, and the woman in white got up and looked in the direction where he was standing.

In an instant, his heart was beating wildly, and his breathing seemed to be stagnant.

He traveled all over the Tang Dynasty, looking at the palaces and rivers and lakes, and the women everywhere are colorful and beautiful, and the colors are dazzling. However, in his eyes, even the beauties in the palace are just vulgar and vulgar fans. He has never seen such beautiful woman.

Her beauty is poetic and picturesque, as beautiful and peerless as a orchid, this is no longer the beauty of mortals.

He ignored the man, walked straight towards the woman, and said with a smile: "Hi, I never thought that there is such a fairy land hidden in the world of mortals. It must be fate to meet you today. May I ask the girl's name?"

The voice suddenly came out again, the back of his neck felt cold, and a white shadow passed over his head with fluttering wings, and finally landed on the shoulder of the woman in white.

"Yunqi," Bai Niao chirped, "this smelly Taoist priest ran into the backyard by himself, it's really rude."

Yun Qi smiled and gave the Taoist a blessing, "Is it a flower-seeing guest, Yun Bao is rude and rude, don't mind."

Oh. The woman in white is called Yunqi, and the white parrot is called Yunbao.

"Miss Yunqi, the name of Nuode is under the name, and she is also from Ailan. When I walked to the door, I couldn't help but want to come in and find out."

After coming to Chang'an for more than three months, she actually owned her own flower shop, and this small flower shop located in Nanqu was able to make the city of Chang'an popular with its unique orchids, and literati and inkmen competed and flocked to it.

Planting, admiring, and selling flowers are actually the things she does most in Chang'an City, and they are also things she deeply loves.

Sitting with Dou Sanlang under the wisteria tree for lunch at noon, Yun Qi said happily, "Sanlang, thanks to the fact that you sent people to collect so many rare treasures from southern Yunnan, today's business is very good, and the flow is several times higher than usual. times."

Dou Sanlang picked up vegetables for her, caring softly: "After three months of raising her, her complexion is much better than before, but she is still too thin. Let Lao Liu take care of the business. Pay attention to your body and don't work too hard."

"Thin? You're skinny even when you're fat like a ball!" Yun Qi pouted, and sent back the chicken breast that was in the bowl. She couldn't even eat chicken breast in the past, but she started to pick her mouth.

Dou Sanlang brought the chicken breast over again, "Chicken breast must be eaten every day."

"Why?" Yun Qi said with a bitter face, "It's delicacies from mountains and seas, and you'll get tired of eating them every day, do you know that?!"

Dou Sanlang sent back the white and tender chicken breast again, this person was a bit obsessive-compulsive, "We have an old saying, eat what you eat to make up for it."

"Ah," Yun Qi looked down at his chest, blushed immediately, and murmured coquettishly, "Hey, what do you mean? I, I don't want to say any more, this is enough for us."

——I don’t know how many times better than the robot girl’s!There are still a lot of men who say they can be satisfied, bah, two balls of silicone are enough to satisfy a ghost!

Dou Sanlang was sitting with a smile on his face, and stuffed another piece of chicken breast into her bowl, "Enough is enough, of course the bigger the better, which man would think it too big?"

What is this? !
Yun Qi pouted, and hummed angrily, "Why should I want to be liked by men, I am who I am, and I can eat whatever I want."

In his mouth, he obediently chewed down the two pieces of chicken breast in the bowl, alas, it is better not to talk too much in the future, the result of protest will only be worse.

Dou Sanlang sniggered as if he had succeeded, and said: "In a while, I will take you to meet someone."

"Who?"

"Ouyang Xun, have you ever heard of it?" When asking, Dou Sanlang stared at Yun Qi's eyes, trying to find something in her eyes.

The name Ouyang Xun was familiar, Yun Qi smiled and said, "I know him, great calligrapher."

"You are far above the East China Sea, but you know thousands of miles away?"

——Too bad, it’s been revealed!

Yun Qi sneered, stunned for a while and finally found an excuse, "Although our place is closed, people from the Central Plains escape from time to time, listen to what they say. What do you see him doing?"

Dou Sanlang pretended to be mysterious and replied: "Naturally arranges what you want most in your heart."

——I most want to.?But I didn't think about anything? !

"Ouyang, help me find a father?"

Dou Sanlang really nodded. Yun Qi was so shocked that she couldn't hold the soup bowl steadily. She really lacked a father's love, but she didn't need to find a father. It was a father named Ouyang. Where could this be? !

"Ah huh." In order to avoid revealing her secrets, she quickly changed the subject, "Sanlang, I heard from the neighbors that the prince's rebellion has been put down after the completion of the crown prince, and the world is at peace. The whole country celebrates together. This Shangsi Festival is more lively than ever. The curfew was specially canceled, and there will be a lantern festival on the banks of the Qujiang River at night. This is the first time I have celebrated the Shangsi Festival, and it is also the first time I have seen the Tang Dynasty lantern festival.”

In fact, she had visited the Shangyuan Lantern Festival this year, but just after the disaster of war, the people were displaced, and the legendary Shangyuan Lantern Festival was deserted.

Dou Sanlang seemed to have something on his mind suddenly, so he listened silently.

Yunqi Xuxu talked about the customs of the Shangsi Festival, went out to enjoy flowers, flew kites, bathed, and gave vanilla to each other between men and women. At the same time, she stared expectantly into Dou Sanlang's eyes, searching carefully in his eyes, hoping to find Same interest...but no.

"The world is finally peaceful, and my greatest wish is that the people in the world can live and work in peace and contentment." Dou Sanlang did not look at her strangely, and while sighing, gave her another piece of steamed shad.

——I'm not a pig who can gag with delicious food.

Unwilling to be reconciled, Yun Qi asked bluntly, "I made an appointment with Hongxiao to go to the Lantern Festival together, and the son of Wang Shilang's family will also go. Do you... want to go together?"

The son of Wang Shilang's family is naturally accompanying Hongxiao, if Dou Sanlang doesn't go, Yun Qi can only transform into a light bulb.

"Wang Shilang's son?" Dou Sanlang was startled, "Wang Yun?"

Yun Qi nodded, "Does Saburo know him?"

"Well, I haven't seen it before, but I have met Wang Shilang once. As far as I know, Wang Yun is the son of the eldest son, alas, unexpectedly." Dou Sanlang shook his head regretfully, with a hint of contempt in his words.

——Could it be that he dislikes the identity of a woman in a red silk brothel?
Dou Sanlang tilted his head and thought for a while, finally remembered something, and frowned, "The emperor holds a palace banquet, and my Dou family is also invited. Forget it, I will tell Dad that I won't go." , it’s rare to have fun, I’ll accompany you that night.”

Yun Qi's eyes were fixed, and her heart was full of disappointment. After all, she was considered half a businessman, and her ability to observe words and demeanor was improving day by day. It was better to forget it than to force it.

She smiled lightly, "Farewell, there will be more after the Lantern Festival, you can watch it at any time, how can the emperor's grandpa's palace banquet take leave?!"

Dou Sanlang pushed the boat along the river with relief, tilted his head and thought for a while, "Well, I'll come to you as soon as the palace banquet is over, and you go with Hongxiao first, and we will meet at Qujiang Pavilion in Xushi, and I will accompany you for a stroll."
