Looking at the koi fish that had been dragged ashore, the scales covered with black oranges, Xuanji felt a slight chill inexplicably, and a faint voice came from behind: "Put it back."
The voice was like a stream of Cong Cong, although it wasn't loud, it emerged from the noise.
Xuanji's heart moved, and when she looked back, she saw a man in white walking over behind the group of men and women.
His eyes are like stars, his nose is high and his forehead is full, and he looks like a handsome man. It's just that this elegance is less enchanting than Long Feili, and more vicissitudes.
"There is no place for you to speak out here." The girl in red snorted coldly, her tone extremely disdainful.
Several people immediately agreed, sneering, and ridicule quickly melted into one.
"Bai Zixu, what are you doing here, Bai Lai, you are a slob who eats and lives for nothing."
Xuanji frowned, who is this man in white... But only then did she realize that his clothes were very shabby, which was incompatible with the satin-covered body of this class of Nianfu masters. She heard a soft sneer before, and she thought about it. from him.
He was scolded by others, but his expression was the same as usual, and he only said: "This koi has grown so big, it is auspicious, if you kill it, are you not afraid of losing the auspiciousness of the Xiangfu?"
"Broken scholar, what do you know?"
"This is for the Emperor and the Empress—"
The girl in red curled her lips and said, "Second brother, third brother, what are you arguing with him?"
She smiled faintly, pointed to several domestic servants, and said, "Take him away from here."
That Bai Zixu smiled coldly, and several domestic servants had already twisted his arms.
"Stop." Xuanji said slightly.
"Mother-"
Everyone was astonished, and a young man in brocade clothes turned pale and said, "Sister Xuanji, don't you like this person the most?"
He was stunned and called Xuanji's boudoir name.
The original Xuanji hated this idiot? Who is he? It doesn't look like people from this year's palace... To avoid trouble, Xuanji didn't want to entangle more, and said, "Bengong wants to stay here for a while, all brothers and sisters, let's go down first."
She smiled at the red-clothed girl again: "Didn't my sister say that I want to give this koi to the emperor and this palace? I would like to thank everyone here, and I will leave this roe to this palace for disposal."
The crowd and the girl in red became happy. Although they didn't understand why Xuanji let go of Bai Zixu, seeing that Xuanji opened his mouth, he couldn't go against it, so he led his servants and retired.
In a moment, only Xuanji's master and servant, Bai Zixu and a few domestic servants who were netting fish were left by the lake.
Xuanji walked to the big fish, and hesitantly reached out and stroked its head.
The koi originally had a resentful look on his face, but at this time he didn't struggle much, just wiggled his tail.
"Does this lake lead to the lake and sea outside?" She thought for a while and asked one of the domestic servants.
The man replied respectfully, "Hui Niangniang, yes."
"Put it back." Xuanji smiled, and then instructed lightly, "You guys also step back."
She whispered: "Be careful in the future, don't let this turbulent world be fascinated, how can this small courtyard be as happy as the rivers, lakes and seas? If it is for freedom, prosperity and life can be thrown away."
She seemed to be talking to the fish, but it seemed that she was just muttering to herself. Bai Zixu's eyes narrowed slightly, but she saw that she had turned around and walked to the small pavilion in the lake with the little maid behind her.
The purple skirt swayed like a flower.
With a plop, the water splashed on the lake, and the grains flashed colorfully in the sun.
Several servants withdrew the net, bowed at the purple figure at the pavilion, and hurriedly withdrew.
Bai Zixu chuckled softly, and was about to leave when he saw two beads of light shining brightly on the ground where the fish was crawling across the net just now.
"Niangniang, Diefeng is the first time in his life to see such a big fish." Diefeng sighed, "I don't know what it tastes like?"
Xuanji was stunned on the stone table with her elbows propped up, and was struck down by Diefeng's words, her face full of black lines.
"Nian Xuanji."
Suddenly, Xuanji was stunned, and Die Feng beside her angrily said, "My master kindly saves you from being humiliated, how come you are so ignorant of etiquette, how can you let your maiden name let you shout?"
Diefeng spoke quickly and urgently, but the bite tone was very accurate, Xuanji was funny, she thought that she could get a quick tongue twister or something for Diefeng to play with, the more she thought about it, the more laughable, the corners of her mouth couldn't help turning up slightly.
Bai Zixuyuan frowned slightly, but seeing her smile like a flower, the seeming displeasure seemed to dissipate in an instant.
"What's the matter?" Xuanji asked, not expecting the man to turn back.
"This, you take it."
Xuanji was a little strange, and when she looked into his line of sight, she saw that on his open white palm, two longan-sized beads were all crystal clear, and the white flowers were dense, as if there was a chill all over his body.
"What is this?" she asked curiously.
Bai Zixu raised his eyes, looked at Huzi, and said, "It was left by Shicai Koi. Judging from the size of this fish, the brilliance in its eyes, it seems to understand human nature. I think it has survived for more than a hundred years."
"It's still uncertain whether this bead was transformed by it, whether it was intentional or not, as long as it is left, you will take it. When it repays your gift of life, don't wait for entanglements in the next life."
This Bai Zixu's voice was clear and clear, with a bit of the rhythm of a pearl falling on a jade plate, and there was a bit of Zen in his words.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Bai Zixu knew that she didn't like him, he sneered, put the beads on the table, and turned around.
But he heard Xuanji's hurried footsteps behind him, "Young Master, stay."
His heart moved slightly, and he slowly turned around.
