The family of peacocks on Yushan are all blue surnames, probably because these feathered peacocks are all blue peacocks. The Peacock Clan is in charge of the peacock feathers, and the owner of each office is the patriarch of the Lan Clan.
On this day, the patriarch Lan Xu was suddenly called to Chaofeng Hall.
"What's going on?" Palace Lord Dan Su asked him, pointing to the dying white bird on the hem.
"This..." The Lan clan chief was startled, the bird had a big slap, and was all snow-white. There were several layers of feathers on its wings, and there was a small amount of down on the top of its head that was darker than the surrounding. At a glance, it was a young peacock.
"You are people, not birds. You are such a small child. You just throw it away!" Dan Su was a little angry. This was picked up by the maid in the bamboo forest in the back mountain, and it was obviously thrown by someone.
"If your subordinates die, you must immediately find out who abandoned the child." Lan Xu knelt on the ground and took the little white bird with both hands.
The snow-white little peacock opened his eyes and glanced at him, then closed them slowly, his body still trembling slightly. Too young to leave the warm down feathers, coupled with long-term hunger, if it was not discovered by the palace lord, this child may not survive today.
In the blue peacock family, there are occasional snow-white white children. When the feather people were not yet civilized, they thought this kind of white child was unlucky. Now that the feathered people have become civilized, they still can't stand the ignorance of some people. They drown or throw away white peacocks when they give birth.
Dan Su gave Lan Xu two jade bamboo worms to feed the weak child. If you don't eat for a long time, suddenly eating rough food will wear down the stomach sac of the little peacock. The soft and fragrant Yuzhu worm is the best food.
"The palace lord has rewarded you with a jade bamboo worm!" Lan Xu's wife was very surprised when she saw the white and tender worm in his hand, and reached out to pick it up. Polygonatum worms are eaten only by phoenixes, and are rarely given to their subordinates.
"Ahh..." A small white head emerged from the placket, startling her.
Knowing that worms are food for children, Lan Xu's wife didn't say much. She took the worms, cooked them, and slowly fed them to the little peacock. Lan Xu invited people from the clan to question who threw the child away.
"There are only three eggs in my family, and all three are girls."
"There are six in my family. You know the patriarch. You saw it yesterday."
"What age is it, who still throws children away?"
Now is the season for the hatching of peacock chicks. Several families have children. There are several peacocks in a litter. Peacock eggs are not as scarce as phoenix eggs. No one registers them when they are born. There was no proof, and no one admitted that he threw the little peacock by himself.
So, the little white peacock stayed at the patriarch's house.
Although Lan Xu raised this child, he didn't recognize it in his own name, so he was responsible for raising it as the head of the clan. The name was given by the palace lord - Lan Jiangxue.
The little peacock grows up day by day, and after turning into a human shape, the skin is as white as porcelain, which is very beautiful. When the people in the clan saw it, they would sigh and say, "What a beautiful child, but it's a pity that he is a white child."
Lan Jiangxue is a male peacock. Male birds rely on their gorgeous feathers to attract female birds. This is especially true among the peacock family. Without their gorgeous feathers, it is impossible to marry a daughter-in-law. The other little peacocks also knew this, and everyone refused to play with him.
"My mother said that he won't be able to get a wife in the future, so let's stay away from him, so as not to be a bachelor with him in the future."
"White hair is so ugly, it's like brushed with white powder, not a man at all."
"He should go to the goose feathers and fight with those big-headed geese."
"Ha ha ha ha… "
The little peacocks have brown spots on their bodies, and they look like larger quails. They gather together to compare who has the best spots. And the little white peacock, which was completely white, was different from them.
Lan Jiangxue naturally heard the words of the birds, lowered his head silently, turned and left the Peacock Forest. Unconsciously, I walked to the edge of the stream and looked at the pure white bird head in the stream, I couldn't help crying.
"Little guy, why are you here alone?" The bright red big phoenix came over, and the fiery red feathers reflected a stream.
Lan Jiangxue turned back and saw that it was the palace lord, and immediately bowed his head and saluted, "Palace lord."
Dan Su lived for a hundred years. He didn't understand what happened, but he didn't say anything. He just turned into a humanoid and flipped the hem of his jacket: "This seat is going to Yunge, you go with this seat."
The little peacock blinked, and then turned into a human shape. The little child was carved in pink and jade, wearing a loose snow-colored robe, which was really cute.
With a slight smile in Dan Su's eyes, he took the little guy's hand and went straight to the Cloud Pavilion. Cloud Pavilion is the place where Guiyun Palace collects books. One of the three buildings is incomparably vast, with 10,000 volumes of books, which are endless.
The palace lord came here to look for books to read, regarded Lan Jiangxue as a book boy, and picked out a few books for him to hold. The conscientious little peacock followed behind and staggered. When the palace lord sat down to read a book, he was quietly researching ink and adding tea. The little child was a bit clumsy with short hands and short legs, but he did a very good job.
"I study here every day. If you have nothing to do, come here to study ink."
Lan Jiangxue could not ask for it without reading with those little peacocks, and he would come to Yunge every day after that. The old parrot in the cloud pavilion will teach him to read, and after he recognizes it more, he will look for a book to read.
This year, Lan Xu had a litter of small peacocks, a litter of five eggs, only one male peacock. Lan Xu was very happy, and hugged his son to ask the palace lord to give him a name. Dan Su looked at Lan Jiangxue who was concentrating on practicing calligraphy by his hand, and said, "Let's call it Shan Yu if you take a name for fighting with Jiang Xue."
Lan Shanyu is a very lively little peacock, and it runs around as soon as it can stand firm. He found that all the little peacocks were ugly black and yellow, and his younger sisters were even more ugly. Only brother Jiang Xue was beautiful and pure white. The little peacock, who is born to like beautiful things, likes to run after his brother.
When you eat, you have to squeeze with your brother; when you sleep, you have to get under your brother's belly.
In the middle of the moon, the little white peacock silently stretched out its claws and caught out the little fur ball that had burrowed under him at some point.
"Ah!" Lan Shanyu exclaimed excitedly, and stretched out his head to rub against his brother.
"Don't follow me anymore." This is what Lan Jiangxue said the most since childhood. But Lan Shanyu didn't listen and continued to follow.
"Boss, what are you doing with that mourning star?" the other children in the nestling garden asked Lan Shanyu in a low voice.
As a peacock with a relatively noble bloodline, it has a very high status among the birds. In addition, Lan Shanyu is smart and aggressive. On the first day of his arrival, he accepted a group of younger brothers.
"He's not a death star, he's my brother! He's prettier than any of you!" The little blue peacock frowned and pecked the little brother who was talking nonsense.
"Yo! I'm an unlucky white boy, but I'm not allowed to tell anyone!" A few slightly bigger little peacocks came over and said with a smile.
Lan Shanyu raised his head and stared viciously at the group of little peacocks, who suddenly turned into human figures and rushed over to fight them.
"Five hits one, what kind of hero is he?" A few eagle cubs looked at from a distance, and turned to ask Diao Lie, the black eagle behind him.
"Seeing injustice on the road, help! Come on!" Xiao Diaolie rolled up his sleeves and rushed over with a group of eagles.
More and more birds joined the battle, and eventually the whole chick garden was boiling.
Returning home with a body injury, Lan Shanyu was slapped down by his father: "It's good, dare to fight in the chick garden! Do you know that the behavior of the chicks will be reported to the palace master, you are so naughty, What's ahead in the future!"
Lan Shanyu stubbornly got up, "They said that my brother is a death star, so he should be beaten."
"You..." Lan Xu grabbed the bamboo stick at hand and threw it.
"Crack!" A crisp sound hit the child in white, and immediately a bloodstain was thrown out.
"Jiang Xue!" Lan Shanyu couldn't help exclaiming as Lan Jiangxue suddenly rushed over to protect him in his arms.
"He's already injured, don't fight again." Lan Jiangxue took a small breath and said in a flat tone.
Back in the bedroom, Lan Jiangxue silently gave medicine to the wounded child.
"Jiang Xue, I went to see the Palace Master today!" Lan Shanyu's mouth was still bleeding, but he had a big smile on his face, "The Palace Master gave me three phoenix feathers!" He took out a blue handkerchief from his arms, and inside the handkerchief were three small red feathers that glowed brilliantly in the sun.
"Well." Lan Jiangxue continued to apply medicine to him with a pale face. The palace lord will change his hair every year. Except for the tail feathers, the feathers in other places can be given to others.
"The palace lord told me that in the inheritance memory of the phoenix, it is said that the white peacock is the bird closest to the phoenix. If you wear these red feathers on your body, you will become a noble phoenix!" The colored feather was inserted into Lan Jiangxue's head, grinning.
Lan Jiangxue looked at him steadily, was silent for a moment, then slowly, slowly revealed a faint smile, slowly leaned over, and dropped a light kiss on the blue and purple palm print. Others said he was an unknown white boy, but this fool said he was a noble phoenix, really stupid.
This sweet kiss from childhood has been remembered by Lan Shanyu for a lifetime. When the two of them became teenagers, and the long-opened Lan Jiangxue was so beautiful, Lan Shanyu could no longer see others in his eyes.
"I don't want a female peacock, I want Jiang Xue!" Lan Shanyu, who had become the deputy owner of Peacock Ling, said to his parents without hesitation.
"Sorry!" the mother cried heartbroken, and the father was so angry that he wanted to break his leg.
The palace master said that the young master is a genius and needs to practice martial arts since he was a child. He has to choose a son of the Lan family to go to the palace to be a national teacher. As the patriarch Lan Xu, after thinking for a long time, wrote the words "Lan Jiangxue" on the paper. Send the child away, and maybe Shan Yu will figure it out.
