Chapter 61 Is the salesman apologizing to her?
It was late at night.
A young man wearing a Taoist robe and a flower hairpin was sitting in the wild mountains with his hands folded.
Yaoyao crossed her waist and stood nearby shouting: "Everyone is queuing up, come one by one, don't jump in line!"
The spirits in the mountains lined up in an orderly manner to offer their treasures to Shang Bingjiu.
Most of the things that the female spirits worshiped were a flower and a fruit, while the things that the male spirits worshiped were varied, some were broken porcelain bottles picked up from the town, some were straight branches, some were peeled snake skins, and some were A handful of wild boar hair, and two meat buns that I was reluctant to eat.
Shang Bingjiu put these treasures in a bamboo basket and slowly returned to Bajiao Courtyard with the basket in hand.
Early next morning.
When Xiao Baojing woke up, he saw a bamboo basket placed next to the cage.
There was a note taped to the bamboo basket - I didn't see anything last night.
Xiao Baojing proudly rolled up the pink ribbon hanging on her chest.
Is the salesman apologizing to her?
She lifted the cloth covering the bamboo basket.
I thought it was Shang Bingjiu's apology, but it turned out to be a pile of junk inside.
Just some wild boar hairs and tree twigs, and two hard and moldy meat buns!
Xiao Baojing rolled his eyes in anger.
There is no need for her to look at the salesman!
She must not continue to like this salesman!
When she goes to Ye Jing, there will be no prince and grandson. She will choose someone who is considerate and can speak human words!
…
We have to continue our journey today.
The mountain roads are winding and intricate.
Shang Bingjiu was walking on the mountain road carrying a load when he bumped into a group of soldiers carrying jade.
They had probably been wandering in the mountains for a long time, and these people looked quite embarrassed and haggard.
"After walking for so long, I finally met a living person!" The leader, who was tall and thick, impatiently pushed Shang Bingjiu with the handle of his knife, and asked in a rough voice, "Hey, you salesman, do you know about Butterfly Village?" How to go? ”
Diezhuang is a town located in the Jiange Mountains, and is also the only way to Ye Jing.
Shang Bingjiu smiled half-heartedly and raised his finger in a certain direction.
The commander immediately turned back and ordered: "The fourth princess is waiting for us at Butterfly Manor. Everyone, please follow us. We must meet up with the fourth princess before sunset!"
After they left in a hurry, Xiao Baojing dared to push open the cage.
She watched them disappear on the mountain road, her little face full of consideration.
They mentioned the fourth princess.
Isn't the fourth princess in Ye Jing?
Why did she run to Jiange?
And——
She whispered: "Seller, aren't we also going to Butterfly Village? Why are they not going the same way as us? Did you point them to the wrong way on purpose?"
Shang Bingjiu: "Yes."
Xiao Baojing lay on the edge of the cage and secretly looked at him.
The young man has a charming appearance and looks like a dog, but in fact he is very vindictive and has a lot of evil behind him!
Twilight all round.
The sunset is orange-red, hanging between the black mountains, like a big orange.
Xiao Baojing has come out of the cage.
She held a piece of dogtail grass and skipped beside Shang Bingjiu. The peach blossom pink skirt outlined the girl's beauty in the dusk.
She suddenly pointed to the stone tablet in front of her: "Seller, we have arrived at Butterfly Village!"
Die Zhuang looks like a very ordinary town.
A theater troupe came to the town tonight, and the streets were very lively.
Xiao Baojing walked on the bustling street, looking around from time to time, as if he was beating a small drum in his heart.
Shang Bingjiu: "What are you looking at?"
"There's one thing I didn't tell you," Xiao Baojing lowered his voice mysteriously, "Actually, when we were at the Julu County Sheriff's Mansion, Qiu Yuejian said that it was the Fourth Princess who ordered her to kill the Ninth Princess. My skin is not that of the Ninth Princess. The princess? If I bump into the fourth princess here, do you think she will get upset and kill me again? Then again, I don’t know why she wanted to kill her ninth sister..."
Shang Bingjiu curled his fox eyes and said nothing.
Xiao Baojing muttered for a while, then was attracted by the lanterns hanging on the street.
The lanterns are like day, and it is obviously night, but it attracts many butterflies.
Xiao Baojing tried to reach out and catch it: "There are so many butterflies..." When he arrived at the inn where he was staying, Xiao Baojing washed up and lay by the window with his little face in his hands: "Seller, look, there are butterflies outside our window."
Outside the window is a clear summer night, with a lantern hanging and two butterflies, one red and one blue, flying up and down.
"They are so beautiful..."
Xiao Baojing admired.
Late at night sleepiness came over her, and she couldn't help but rub her eyes.
In a trance, he seemed to have fallen into a dream.
…
"Miss, Miss!"
Someone pushed himself.
Xiao Baojing woke up suddenly and saw herself sitting in an antique boudoir, with a little maid in a pink vest looking at her.
It's just that the little maid has no face, and there is a wooden board on her neck with the word "Tong'er" engraved on it.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Xiao Baojing's sleepiness suddenly disappeared, and he was speechless for a long time: "You, you, you..."
Tong'er tilted her head: "Miss, we are going to the academy to study today, have you forgotten? My wife said that you are illiterate and will be laughed at if you marry Mr. Ma in the future. Our family is not strict in upbringing, so she sent you to dress up as a man. , go to the academy to study. Here, the clothes are ready.”
Xiao Baojing: "..."
She remembered that she and the salesman were on their way, and passed by Butterfly Village and rested for the night.
She was watching butterflies in the inn, but why did she suddenly come here and become what kind of young lady?
She was drowsily pushed in front of the dressing table by the little maid, who combed her hair into a scholar's bun.
In the bronze mirror, her face looked normal, with willow-leaf eyebrows and apricot eyes, which formed a sharp contrast with the little maid's wooden head.
Xiao Baojing raised his hand: "Um, excuse me, your face..."
The little maid sighed: "I know the young lady is envious of my beauty, but it doesn't matter. As long as the young lady listens to the words of the master and his wife, studies well, marries well, and has children for her husband's family and respects her parents-in-law, she will definitely have me in the future. Such beauty.”
Xiao Baojing: "..."
She doesn’t want it!
She doesn't want this wooden head!
With a speechless expression on her face, Xiao Baojing put on her flattering clothes and belt, and then slowly followed Tong'er out of the boudoir.
She squeezed her thigh quietly.
But the surrounding scenery did not change at all.
Therefore, she was not dreaming. She had probably strayed into some strange territory again, just like she had strayed into the Garden of Forgetfulness.
Hall.
Xiao Baojing saw a man and a woman sitting in the upper seat, each wearing brocade clothes. Their heads were also square wooden boards, with "Father" engraved on the black board and "Mother" engraved on the white board.
The maids standing there all have this kind of wooden heads. Apart from their names, you can't tell their expressions at all.
"Mother" took the lead and sighed: "Your father and I both have normal looks, how come we gave birth to a daughter like you?"
"Father" puffed his beard and glared: "It's all your fault for giving birth to such an ugly daughter. It's shameful for me to go out! How come other women can give birth to beautiful daughters, but you can't?! What's the point of marrying you?" ! ”
His mother was too afraid to look at him, and said: "Now that things have happened, the Ma family is the only one who does not dislike Yingtai's ugly appearance and is willing to marry her. Yingtai, you go to the academy to study hard for a year, and you will be prosperous from now on." Marry Mr. Ma. By the way, do you want to get married next year or the year after?”
Ying... Yingtai?
Zhu Yingtai?
Xiao Baojing took a deep breath.
Was this done to her in "Butterfly Lovers"? !
She still didn't know what the situation was and where the salesman was, so she followed the principle of procrastination and said honestly: "Then... let's get married the year after next."
"Nonsense!" Father patted the table, "I'll get married next year!"
Xiao Baojing: "Oh."
The mother said gently: "Since we are getting married next year, it is time to ask the embroiderer to start embroidering the wedding dress. Does Yingtai prefer a wedding dress with a lotus pattern, or a wedding dress with a mandarin duck pattern?"
Xiao Baojing: "The one with the lotus pattern."
"Nonsense!" my father scolded with dissatisfaction, "the mandarin duck pattern is festive, use the mandarin duck!"
Xiao Baojing: "..."
These two people had decided for her, so why bother asking her.
