Huai Bo leaned his back against the window, and the little apprentice stood in the shadows with a gloomy expression, which made her feel a little inexplicable palpitations.
Peiyu took a step closer, supporting the window sill with her hands, as if holding Huaibai in her arms.
There was darkness behind her, and the setting sun in front of her, but she stretched out her arms to embrace the only ray of light.
"Master," Peiyu said with a smile in his eyes, "I don't want to be a good person."
Huai Bai's face was a little red, and her heart beat faster for no reason, "You, what are you going to do?" She said nervously, "If you get close to me, you will jump off!"
Peiyu smiled, "It's okay, I'll continue."
The door creaked and was pushed open.
Peiyu immediately let go of her hand, stepped aside, and looked back.
Huai Bo breathed a sigh of relief, feeling somewhat lost in his heart.
Yu Chisu poked his head in, "Are you going shopping?"
Peiyu looked at Huai Bai.
Huai Bai suppressed the emptiness in his heart, rolled up his clothes, and smiled with crooked eyebrows, "Of course I want to go!"
Tianquan City is holding a poetry meeting.
The literati were fighting poetry and painting, and the four of them felt bored after listening to it for a while.
Yu Chisu rolled his eyes, "It's just dark, why don't we fly to Yuheng City to have fun."
Sheng Ji was puzzled, "Why did you go there?"
Huai Bai covered his lips and smiled lightly, Pei Yu had a delicate expression, only Sheng Ji looked blank, "What are you laughing at?"
Yu Chisu shook his head, "You are too inflexible. These seven cities correspond to the seven stars in the sky, and Tianquan is also named Wenqu, so there is a poetry meeting at night, so isn't Yuheng City the most lively right now?"
Sheng Ji murmured: "Yuheng, Lian Zhenxing," he faltered, blushing and said: "Peach blossoms?"
Yu Chisu smiled lightly: "A child can be taught."
Sheng Ji quickly waved his hands, "No, I won't go."
Among the four, Huaibai and Peiyu don't need to be mentioned, Yu Chi always reads the story books, only Shengji who is dedicated to practicing swords is the most innocent.
Yu Chisu pulled him back, "You should also see it, otherwise how would you find a Taoist companion?"
Huai Bai, who lives in Dai Peak, has also heard about Shengji.
At any rate, he is the young master of Taichu, with good aptitude and good looks. In the beginning, there were many little girls who deliberately approached him in the name of competitions. I never expected that this person would never show mercy, never release water during fights, and I don’t know how many loves he had when he was beaten away. .
Sheng Ji hesitated: "I still prefer to practice swords."
"Tsk, do you still want to spend the rest of your life with your sword?"
Sheng Ji said: "Why not?" He paused, with nostalgia in his eyes, "It's a pity that the wild goose has been destroyed."
Peiyu looked away guiltily.
Yuheng City is decorated with lanterns and festoons, the lights are bright, there are many pavilions, and ribbons and lanterns are hung on the eaves.
There are many exquisite small gold houses along the street. There is a jade plaque hanging on the door, some jade plaques are bright, while others are dim.
In front of the gloomy houses with jade plaques stood one person, both men and women, with different clothes and good looks.
Sheng Ji hadn't figured out what the golden house was for, a few women came over and beckoned to him, "Xiao Xianchang, do you want to have a spring night?"
He suddenly realized, and hurriedly avoided them.
There was also a circle of people around Huai Bai Peiyu, but they all stood far away.
The daring one took a step closer and saw the white-clothed man with a cold expression and a cold blade, swallowed his saliva, and retracted his legs again.
Sheng Ji said with a blushing face, "Isn't Shengren Zhuang the most respectful of etiquette? How could this city be so... licentious!"
Huai Bo conjured up a paper fan out of nowhere, and said leisurely: "That's not right, the Dao is three thousand, how can Fengyue Dao be inferior to others?"
"This city is also called Fengyue City, and there are mostly monks who practice Fengyue Dao in the city." The paper fan pointed to the golden house, "The so-called golden house hides beauty, these houses are all made of spiritual power, and only monks above the golden core can Do it, if you want to go in, firstly, you need to look at your eyesight, and secondly, you need to look at your aptitude. If you are lucky enough to enter a house where the Nascent Soul is powerful," she smiled, and covered half of her face with a paper fan, "that's Great opportunity."
"But, but this is still too..."
A crowd of people crowded in, they were pushed away, Yu Chisu and Shengji were on one side, Peiyu Huaibai was on the other side of the road.
Huai Bo stretched out his hand subconsciously, holding Peiyu tightly, fearing that she would be pushed away again.
After so many years, she still regards Peiyu as the weak and helpless child when she first met.
The long floats drove past, and the colorful flower branches were thrown down by the beauties on the car.
A branch of red flower was thrown down, Huai Bai caught it, the beauty in the car smiled at her, Pei Yu looked unhappy, blocking the eyes of outsiders.
Huai Bai looked at the flower branch in his hand, with emotion in his eyes. I think of red beans and peach blossoms at the reincarnation festival in Xishan Town that year.
After the flowers were scattered, the beauties began to sprinkle beans again. The bags containing red beans and black beans exploded like fireworks, and the round beans rolled on the ground.
People on the street are busy bending over to pick up beans.
"Red beans, black beans... what are they?" Huai Bai asked softly.
Peiyu froze, holding her hand a little harder, trying to take her out of here.
But someone heard it, and replied with a smile: "Red beans and black beans are lovesickness. The fairy leader doesn't even understand this. Could it be that they are from Gushan?"
"Acacia?" Huai Bo opened his eyes wide and asked, "The one liter of red beans, one liter of black beans..."
The man said, "That's not love for two lifetimes."
"Two lives?" Huai Bai frowned and muttered to himself, "Why two lives?"
Peiyu said: "Master, it's getting late, let's leave here."
Huai Bo was lost in thought, and nodded upon hearing this.
But the man stopped them, "We're going to the most exciting place soon - the election of the oiran, which is only held once a year in spring, stay and have a look."
"Oiran?" Yu Chisu squeezed in at some point, and asked enthusiastically, "Is it a beauty pageant?"
The man said: "It's not just about beauty, it also depends on the temperament, clothing, appearance, talent..."
He said a long list, Yu Chisu was puzzled: "Isn't this Bimei?"
The man said contemptuously: "The matter of the oiran, how can it be called Bimei? Vulgar!"
Huai Bai left the flower branch behind, thinking, no matter how many times he misses her, it has nothing to do with her. Since I have decided to cut off from the past, there is no need to think about these things. She was listening to what Yu Chisu was talking about about the oiran, and she immediately pulled Peiyu towards him, "Oiran, what oiran? I'm the only one... is this good friend good-looking?"
The man looked back, with some surprise in his eyes.
The lights were dim, and there was a lot of voices. Peiyu was dressed in white, and her face was cold, more beautiful than the street.
Huai Bo stretched out his hand and shook it in front of his eyes, and said with a smile, "Don't look stupid, how about it?"
The man waved his hand, "It's incomparable. The coldness of ice and snow and the beauty of peach blossoms have their own strengths. How do they compare?"
Huai Bai disagreed, "How can Peach Blossom compare to my friend?"
The man asked: "You don't agree, why don't you take her to participate in the selection and let everyone judge and judge?"
Peiyu was afraid that she would really take her to participate in some kind of oiran election, so she raised her heart.
Huai Bai didn't want to refuse directly, the man sighed, "Since you don't participate, there is no suspense this time."
"Why do you say that?"
The man said: "All these years, the oiran has been Miss Hu from Fengyue Tower. Hey, she is a great beauty. It's a pity that no one has seen her in the city except for showing her face every year to take back the oiran. I don't think she is from the Seven Cities. I don't know. Where did it come from?"
Peiyu breathed a sigh of relief, "I thought you really let me go up..."
Huai Bo said: "Why?" Her tone was soft, "I want people to see you, but I don't want people to see you."
It's like carrying a treasure on your body, and you want to show it off to everyone, but you are afraid that it will be too public and cause others to covet it.
The flower platform has been set up, and beauties of all colors compete for beauty, singing and dancing harmoniously.
Yu Chisu continued to applaud.
Huai Bo felt bored after watching it for a while, these beauties are too thick in makeup and too vulgar in fragrance, let alone compare with Peiyu, even her two, three or four disciples can't compare.
It wasn't until Hu Meiren came on stage that her eyes lit up.
Hu Meiren is dressed in Chinese clothes, but not as gorgeous as Jian Yunsha. There is cinnabar between her eyebrows, her expression is soft and tender, and her tenderness is full of affection, yet she is innocent, delicate but not gorgeous, charming but not vulgar, and peach blossom is the perfect description.
Huai Bo took La Peiyu's hand and whispered: "Let's go, go, I'm not half as good-looking as you."
Peiyu smiled, "It's not as good as Shizun."
Hu Meirenyan, the owner of the flower-pressing table, was about to take over the peach blossom representing the oiran with slender hands.
Someone suddenly said: "Wait!"
Everyone looked over, at the end of the long street, a person walked slowly.
The purple clothes fluttered in the wind, like the ray of purple air in the sky when the sky breaks at dawn.
Fu Yunzhu smiled gently: "I want to participate too."
Yu Chisu was shocked: "Isn't this the city lord of Jiangcheng? She actually came to compete with the oiran?" No wonder the immortals said that she ruined her father's reputation.
Sheng Ji's expression was tangled, "Ridiculous!"
"Here, the competition is over." The master of ceremonies showed embarrassment.
Fu Yunzhu jumped onto the flower platform, and a crisp shadow flashed across the purple clothes. She turned sideways and said something in Hu Meiren's ear. Hu Meiren's expression suddenly became very interesting, shocked, thoughtful, and unwilling. Then she glanced at Fu Yunzhu, voluntarily abstained, and turned to leave.
This turn of events made the master of ceremonies stunned, holding a plate of peach blossoms, and stood there blankly.
Fu Yunzhu took the peach blossoms by herself, and said with a smile: "That idiot is so disrespectful."
The onlookers in the audience couldn't stand watching, and shouted: "Why did Hu Meiren go down? There must be something shady?"
"What kind of treachery is this man using! I don't recognize this oiran!"
Hu Meiren has won the title of oiran for several years in a row. She has a good reputation here and has a large number of loyal fans.
Naturally, they couldn't just sit back and watch Hu Meiren's oiran position be taken away by someone, and hurriedly shouted that the game was unfair and asked Hu Meiren to take the stage again.
Unfortunately, no matter how loudly she yelled, Hu Meiren never came out again.
Fu Yunzhu looked over with a smile, and the flower branch in her hand moved slightly, "If you are not convinced, you can come up and compete with me."
"Competition in beauty, or competition in martial arts, it's up to you."
Everyone was silent, she was really good-looking, her pair of peach blossom eyes shone brightly, captivating the souls of many people.
There were also some people in the crowd who had long been displeased with Hu Meiren's dominance of the oiran, so they began to chatter.
"Actually, she looks no worse than Hu Meiren."
"That's right, and the beauty lies in her temperament, Hu Meiren is so beautiful that she has no soul at all!"
"It's time to inject some fresh blood into the competition. What's the point of always letting one person take the first place?"
"Hu Meiren voluntarily abstained. Could it be that someone caught him?"
This phenomenon of large fans turning off fans and turning back on them is too real, Huai Bai couldn't bear to watch it anymore, and he and Pei Yu were about to leave.
Fu Yunzhu jumped off the stage suddenly, pushed aside the crowd, and ran towards them.
Huai Bai is a little strange, she looks like Qin Jiangzhu now, this child probably doesn't know herself.
Fu Yunzhu was gasping for breath, her peach blossom eyes were full of affection, "I haven't thanked fellow Taoist for saving my life." She stretched out a flower branch, and the peach blossom was delicate, "I don't have anything long, I can only give you a peach blossom as a thank you for saving my life .”
Huai Bo heard people around say "so romantic", rolled his eyes in his heart, there are many ways to thank him, but to send peach blossoms in such a big way, I don't know what An is thinking. But according to Peiyu's temperament, she should have rejected it long ago, why is she still silent
Huai Bai's heart trembled, and he felt uneasy suddenly.
Seeing that there was something going on, Fu Yunzhu resorted to her usual romantic methods, and said softly: "I never thought that my savior would be so good-looking, not only good-looking, but also a good person..."
Peiyu's face darkened, and she said coldly, "I'm not."
Pulling Huaibai, he turned around and left.
