Fu Mingsu's eyes flickered, and he said cautiously, "Now, I am just concerned about you, but I am afraid that it will be sooner or later before I fall in love with you." Fu Mingsu raised his head and looked at Fu Kun, "Do you want me to intervene?"
Fu Kun waved his hand, said nothing more, and strode away.
Fu Mingsu stood in the morning mist, looking worried.
Although, on the surface, Fu Kun did not interfere with their marriage, in the final analysis, it was still related to the interests of the family. For example, he loved business, and his wife was a noble lady from the northern Yi family.
The merchants in the capital were all close to the royal family, and Fu Kun was below the royal family. If Fu Mingsu married the daughters of these merchants, he would be marrying up. For example, Qi Rui, the Minister of Justice.
If he wanted to seek benefits from these merchants, he would be competing with the royal family for business. First, his status in the capital would be low, and second, it would easily lead to complications.
But the Yi family is different. They have dominated the north for many years and have never had a good opportunity to enter Beijing.
Therefore, the union of the two families would greatly benefit both families. Not to mention that the Yi family's daughter was a first-class beauty, Fu Mingsu had made a very careful calculation for this marriage.
However, this time, his father was concerned about the relationship between his second brother and Lian Youyou. What was his father's plan? Fu Kun's unclear attitude made Fu Mingsu guess in his heart.
Three days later.
Moth Day.
The Nine Gates had money, so breakfast was much richer. With the improvement in food, everyone had more smiles on their faces. Unlike when Lian Youyou first entered the Nine Gates, everyone was listless and looked like a complaining woman.
Lin Tingjun has been staring at Lian Youyou's hairpin these days.
Lian Youyou glanced at him with the meat bun in her hand: "That's enough, don't be too greedy, you've got your clothes, don't have any other ideas about me!"
Everyone exchanged glances, trying to understand the meaning of Lian Youyou's words. Suddenly, several people were shocked. Could it be that Lian Youyou secretly obtained some magic weapon that they didn't see, but Lin Tingjun saw
Sanniang winked at Yunxi, asking him to go and find out. Yunxi winked at Yunyao again, and when Yunyao wanted to wink at Fat Buddha, Fat Buddha went to Wanqing's room with a meat bun to deliver food.
Since the secret signal was not delivered, everyone just stared at each other.
Fat Buddha pushed open Wanqing's door as usual, and suddenly, a thin strand of silk floated out from the room and passed across his face.
"Wow!" Fat Buddha screamed and the tray in his hand almost fell to the ground.
He stood in front of the door, and strands of snow-white silk slowly floated out from the open door, floating in the air like a dream.
When everyone saw this scene, they were shocked and put down their bowls and chopsticks and walked to Wanqing's door.
I saw that the small hall inside the door was filled with snow-like silk. In an instant, the small room seemed to have become a Pansi Cave.
The light white silk fluttered in the wind, and the further inside they went, the denser the white silk became. They all raised their heads according to the density of the white silk, and saw a huge cocoon at the place where the roof met the corner of the wall!
That cocoon was about the same size as the coffin man's official! It lay in the corner, very conspicuous.
"Wow—" He Shiqi widened his eyes and stared blankly.
"She's making a cocoon." Lian walked to the door leisurely and continued to eat the buns as if nothing had happened. "Then don't bother her. She'll come out at night."
"So fast?" Yun Yao looked at Lian Youyou in surprise.
"Yeah." Lian Youyou pointed at the cocoon while holding the bun, "That's a human cocoon, not a silkworm cocoon. It took half a day. At night, when the moonlight falls, these silk threads..." Lian Youyou pointed at the drifting white silk threads while holding the bun, "It absorbed the essence of the moon, and the human and the Gu became one, breaking out of the cocoon. It's so beautiful. Come and see it again at night." Lian Youyou left leisurely.
But no one left, as they didn't know if they would ever see such a scene again. They were really curious about how a person could transform from a cocoon to a moth.
He Shiqi was the first to bring a small stool and sit in front of the door to watch.
Seeing this, everyone moved the round table and benches from the hall out and placed them in the yard. They sat together and watched Wanqing making her cocoon, just like watching a play in a teahouse.
Lian Youyou had just sat down when the round table in front of her was moved away. She was stunned for a moment, but couldn't help laughing.
Okay, you guys watch yourselves, I'm going to sleep. Lian went to sleep leisurely.
Seeing her leaving, Lin Tingjun followed her. Anyway, he loved sleeping the most, so it was a good choice for them to sleep together.
In the yard, everyone sat around a round table, brewed a pot of tea, filled the table with melon seeds, and waited together for Wanqing to break out of her cocoon and become a moth.
After a while, Master Yao Guang returned from court. After seeing this, he also joined them in eating melon seeds and drinking tea, watching the cocoon-making.
Looking at the nine sects like this, they seem to be having a lot of free time.
The sun sets and the moon rises, and the moonlight sprinkles into their courtyard bit by bit. The white silk floating in the air feels the moonlight and grows longer and longer, all facing the moonlight and floating up into the sky, like a woman's snow-white long hair flying in the sky above the Jiumen courtyard.
"Oh——" He Shiqi exclaimed again and reached out to touch the floating snow silk. It was extremely soft and silky, and had a cool temperature. It felt indescribably skin-friendly and comfortable to touch in the summer.
More and more of them came out of the room, getting longer and longer, and began to cover the entire yard.
Everyone hurriedly moved the round table into the hall and stood in the hall to look at the snow that had covered the ground.
Lian Youyou came out stretching lazily, with Lin Tingjun following behind her.
"Oh! It's started!" Lian ran forward slowly, her eyes sparkling.
At this time, the snow silk had been dyed by the moonlight and turned into faintly shining silver threads. The silver threads not only covered the ground, but also floated all over the yard.
They are quiet, beautiful and stunning.
Everyone standing in the hall felt the magic of the moment. The beautiful, slowly floating silver threads did not make them feel the slightest bit of fear in their hearts. Instead, they became peaceful. A special kind of tranquility filled their hearts.
The silvery beauty makes everyone forget their worries, and they just want to quietly appreciate the divine, pure and ethereal beauty before their eyes.
A huge human cocoon slowly floated out from the silk threads. It floated above the silver sea in the courtyard. Slowly, with a "pop", the upper end cracked.
Yun Yao excitedly held her brother's arm tightly, her eyes became moist, and her heart was moved by the beauty.
"Snap!" There was another light and gentle sound, and two feather-like white tentacles slowly emerged from the upper end of the snow cocoon.
"Wow—" He Shiqi and Yun Yao both exclaimed, because the tentacles were so beautiful. Like a feather fan in the hands of a beauty, or like the tail of a white phoenix slowly being pulled out, it was breathtakingly beautiful.
Slowly, a snow-white head emerged. It still looked like a human head, but on top of its head were a pair of huge emerald green eyes, and below the eyes were the mouthparts of a moth.
Although it had clearly taken the form of a moth, no one was afraid at all. Their eyes looked at it as if Wanqing had emerged from a cocoon, and there was a sense of familiarity.
Her snowy hair fluttered under her tentacles, and her thin bangs slightly covered her big green eyes, making her face less strange and graceful as she stood in front of everyone. (To be continued)
