422 Chapter 422 A visit to Qilin City ([-])

The New Year is about to come, Zhang Qiling followed the girl to Qilin City in her era. This time they did not go to the main city, but lived directly on the bustling street closest to the main city, staying in the most suitable room for viewing. Street view room.

Zhang Qiling stood on the viewing platform designed inside the room, quietly looking at the brightly lit street.

The streets and alleys are decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and everything is filled with a festive atmosphere. The difference is that the people here are all dressed in ancient costumes. The most special thing is that they are not dressed in ancient costumes from the same period.

There were many people gathered around the stalls along the street, which was very lively, especially the snack stalls where there were long queues.

I heard that there are always people coming and going on this street on weekdays, and it is even more lively now. From upstairs, you can even see several palace masters from Qilin City playing in the street like children, but Zhang Qiling is still The state of being quiet and far away from the crowd.

He looked at the appearance of the city and murmured to himself: "This capital looks very much like..."

"like what?"

Zhang Qiling turned around and saw Xiaoxun, a girl wearing a coat and skirt from the Ming Dynasty, slowly walking towards him holding a small carved tray with refreshments in her hand.

The girl changed into a symmetrical hanging bun that matched the bright coat. She also wore a fluffy hair accessory with small flowers and tassels on the bun. She swayed as she walked, especially the white plush decoration on the hair accessory. It looks like a little bunny and is dressed up very cutely.

A red half-arm short jacket with a square collar and a square collar, embroidered with delicate and beautiful flower clusters and small rabbit patterns, makes the girl look particularly good. Inside the short jacket is a snow-white top coat, revealing two large pipa sleeves. Below is a multi-color gradient embroidered jacket skirt with red and pink as the main color, and her all-purpose small bag is still slung across her body.

The little girl walked up to her, put the tea on the table, tilted her head and looked at him seriously. When he continued, Zhang Qiling said, "It's like Chang'an City."

The little girl said with a smile: "My brother has good eyesight, and he saw it right. This place has the same design as Chang'an City, the ancient capital of the Thirteen Dynasties, and it still looks like Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty."

Zhang Qiling said: "Chang'an City in the Sui and Tang Dynasties was the largest capital city in the world at that time with the most magnificent buildings and the most standardized layout."

I nodded and said: "Qilin City was established very early, so almost all the ancient buildings in the main city are built later. Like the Chang'an City in the world, they are thousands of years old.

The people here are almost all ancient people, from any dynasty. They are basically thousands or hundreds of years old. In addition, Qilin City has not allowed outsiders to come in since the Purple Jade Palace was closed a thousand years ago. , Therefore, although modern things will be popularized by them, most of them are not very accustomed to them. "

I saw that my brother seemed a little silent, so I walked up to him, faced him, hugged his waist, raised my head and looked up at him and said to him, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?" I blinked my eyes mischievously. He smiled and said: "You are mine, the man of this city lord, this is our own home, remember."

His face was still expressionless, but the corners of his mouth raised slightly in an instant. He looked at me and then looked out the window and said to me: "You... aren't you going?"

I hugged him and shook him and said, "They like liveliness, we like silence. I just want you here."

He turned back to look at me. I let go of his waist, tugged on the hem of his clothes, pulled up his arm and looked at the sleeves, looked up at him and said, "How are you dressed?"

Zhang Qiling said: "It fits very well, thank you."

I said, "I'm worried that the sleeves won't fit properly. As soon as I sewed the sleeves, they would fit backwards, but I obviously made them right, otherwise I would have finished them long ago. Fortunately, I caught up. You can wait for me to practice with the sewing machine, and then give me more How many do you make?”

He touched my little head, and I took his hand and said, "Let's go have some snacks." I dragged him to the dining table.

I sat him down and pushed the plate of colorful shells in front of him.

Zhang Qiling looked at the snacks on the plate, including small pink flowers, green leaves, a big yellow moon and a small white rabbit. Each snack was plump and soft. He leaned closer to the plate to look at it and smell it. There was a faint fragrance of flowers and milk. He stretched out his hand and picked up the fat white rabbit. The rabbit's red eyes were like little gems, and some osmanthus flowers were sprinkled on it.

Zhang Qiling saw the little girl holding a pair of small fists, opening her mouth slightly, looking at the snacks in her hand, as if she wanted him to taste the snacks quickly, but she was worried about what kind of evaluation he would give.

Zhang Qiling calmly and delicately bit the rabbit's paw. The little girl's eyes widened and she swallowed nervously.

Zhang Qiling tasted the dim sum carefully, then bit the head of the little rabbit dim sum and ate the fillings inside.

The little girl looked more seriously and bit her little lip. After Zhang Qiling chewed and swallowed, she asked without saying yes or no. She asked in an extremely calm tone with no emotion at all: "What is this?" Follow your eyes to look at the little girl.The little girl was stunned for a moment and said: "The rabbit is made of glutinous rice flour, with milk and a little butter added, the filling is peanut butter, some osmanthus, and the eyes are made of sugar... uh..."

Zhang Qiling saw her hesitant expression and said, "Come here."

The little girl moved closer to him, with a puzzled expression on her face, as if she was still a little uneasy in her heart.

The little girl asked him: "Brother, what's wrong with Bunny..." Before he could finish his words, Zhang Qiling accurately stuffed the remaining half of the bunny snack into the little girl's mouth.

Seeing that the little girl was beginning to be at a loss, looking at him while biting her snack, he said, "Eat."

The little girl slowly started chewing. Zhang Qiling reached out and picked up the green leaf snacks in the plate. He looked at the delicate leaf veins carved on them and waited for the little girl to finish chewing the snacks in her mouth.

The little girl was mumbling with her small mouth. Zhang Qiling put the leaf snack to his mouth and said: "Bite."

The little girl bit into it with her small mouth. Only one-fifth of the matchbox-sized snack was taken. Zhang Qiling said, "Take another bite."

The little girl obediently took another bite. After she chewed it, she said, "Is it delicious?"

The little girl puffed up her cheeks and said, "It's delicious."

Zhang Qiling said "yes", which seemed to be an affirmation of the taste of the snack. Then he put the remaining half of the leaf snack in his hand into his mouth and chewed it with relish. The little girl was stunned for a moment. Understanding what Zhang Qiling meant, he laughed stupidly.

The hustle and bustle outside was still going on. My brother held me in his arms and looked at the street scene outside and the night sky. The New Year's bell had rang, with long blasts ringing one after another, fireworks rising into the sky, and loud "bangs". Blooming gorgeously in the sky.

Colorful dandelions, golden fireworks rain, layers of colorful ripples, and all kinds of gorgeous flowers spread their petals in the air. At this time, I pulled the clothes on my brother's chest and said to him: "Brother, close up." Lower your eyes."

He was stunned for a moment and gently closed his eyes. I sat upright, holding my fists and thinking about the mantra. In the blink of an eye, a burst of pale golden spiritual light lit up my body like fireworks exploding.

I pulled my brother's clothes again and said to him, "That's it."

Zhang Qiling opened his eyes and saw that the girl in front of him suddenly changed from a cute and cute teenager into an elegant and smart girl of fifteen or sixteen years old.

The girl's bright eyes reflected the shadow of the fireworks, as bright as stars, and she said to herself in a soft and sweet voice: "Brother, Xiaoxun looks okay when he grows up."

Zhang Qiling looked at the girl's fair and round face and blushed nervously and shyly. She lowered her eyes slightly and blinked. Her long and curled eyelashes were fluttering. She looked sweet and shy. The older girl Xiaoxun looked at it. Going up is even more...

After the two of them stayed in this state for a while, Zhang Qiling stretched out his hands to hold the girl's little face, kneaded it gently as usual, said a faint "en", and then hugged the girl back into his arms. .

I repeated "En", then raised my head and said to him, "Just 'En'? Nothing else?"

After waiting for a moment, he didn't answer anything, so I muttered, "Do you like it or not?"

This time, as soon as I finished speaking, I heard him say "yes" again. He held my head with his hand and asked me to stick to his heart. Although the sound of fireworks outside was still coming and going, but close to his heart, his I can hear the voice of my heart more clearly than the sound of fireworks. The sound of my accelerated heartbeat is much louder than the sweet words on my lips.

On the first day of the new year, we returned to the main city. The whole family gathered together in a lively manner. Two brothers, Bai Hao and Xuefeng, cooked a lot of food, which I loved. I also collected a lot of big food. Red envelopes and gifts cannot be opened at all.

I also asked about the most important thing. Yu Jing told me that there are spiritual stones in the caves of Wanlingshi Mountain south of Qilin City that can adjust my transformation spell. They will get some for me in a few days. , made into a shower powder to help me maintain a grown-up look.

Brother Xuefeng had a sullen face. I was afraid that he would say something about me, but surprisingly, he didn't. In addition to giving me the same big red envelope as in previous years, he also asked me to reach out to him. He took my little hand and held it. I turned my palm up, and his big hand clasped my small hand. The red light of his spiritual energy immediately lit up in my hand. I immediately felt a warm current pouring into my body. He was injecting spiritual energy into me. .

After a while, he withdrew his hand and said to me: "To master the transformation skill, you still need to practice a lot. Now that you have learned it, learn it better." I still nodded in agreement.

After that, we rested for a day. Xuefeng took me, my brother, Bai Hao, Yu Jing and Li Yue to the cave of Wanling Stone Mountain to get the spiritual stones.
