50 The Wind and Clouds
Arriving at the prefect's mansion, Xi Su helped Mo Fei down and walked into the mansion under the leadership of the servant.
Murphy was still wearing a gauze hat on her head, so she couldn't see the surroundings clearly, but she could hear greetings, chatting and laughter, and she felt a few lines of sight on her.
When he came to the side door of a hall, Xi Su stopped and said, "You can follow the maid in later and just watch the changes."
Just wait and see what happens? Murphy was skeptical and didn't know what Xi Su was thinking. But she didn't ask much, turned around and left with the maid.
After a while, Murphy was taken to a small cubicle erected by a screen, and there was a table case with refreshments on it, and there were no other furnishings around.
Before he came, Murphy had heard Xi Su talk about the Doumei banquet in Youguo. The Doumei banquet was also known as the flower picking banquet. All participating guests must bring one or two beauties for competition. The host of the banquet will prepare five beauties, and they cannot participate in the main battle, but can only be selected.
During the fight, all the beauties will be taken to the cubicle, and then each person will be given a flower that is currently blooming. The owner of the beauties only knows the flower names of their own beauties, but not the names of others. If you want to pick flowers, you must first If you guess one of the flower names correctly, the person who guesses wrong will lose a chance to pick the flowers. If you guess correctly, the person's beauty will be changed from the contestant to the main contestant, and he will compete with the beauties he points, and if he wins, he will hug. If you win the beauty, you will lose your beauty.
There were a few traces of anger flashing in Murphy's eyes. Women in this era are so pathetic, they are just like objects. If you like it, you will receive it, if you don't like it, you will give it away. Now it is used as a bet, so that women can exchange new love for their men. Is there anything more shameless than this?
She is very glad that she went to the country of Suo now. Although the men in this country don't necessarily care much for women, at least they won't play openly. She is even more fortunate that she pretended to be a man from the beginning, avoiding the sorrow of being used as a tool. In the future, unless she encounters force majeure, she must not reveal her gender!
I don't know how long I waited. Outside the cubicle, the originally noisy hall gradually became quiet after the announcement of "the prefect arrives". Murphy knew that the banquet had begun.
Murphy didn't hear what the prefect said, but after a while, he saw a maid walk in with a tray, lifted the silk cloth, and there was a delicate flower on the tray.
Mo Fei reached out and took it, and there was a little surprise in her eyes, because the flower in her hand was not a summer flower that bloomed often nowadays, but a Zimo that only bloomed in spring, the national flower of the former Yu Kingdom.
It seems that after You Country destroyed Yu Country, Zi Mo was transplanted to this country, and I don't know what method was used to lengthen its flowering period.
It was so! Mo Fei finally knew what Xi Su's plan was. If she was assigned such a flower, who could call her flower name? In this way, she will avoid the trouble of appearing ugly.
Oh, that's really impressive!
Murphy finally felt relieved at this time, and began to listen carefully to the movement outside.
"Zhu Zhuo Lian (Lian) Yi is in tears." I don't know who was the first to name the flower.
"One lotus flower." A servant echoed loudly, and then reported, "The lotus person is the beauty of Bojun's family. Please invite the orchid beauty of Jiang's family to come out to the pavilion first."
As the servant's voice fell, Murphy heard a small cry from somewhere in the compartment, and then the cloth rubbed, indicating that someone was moving out.
Not long after, the piano sounded, in a hurry and slow, like a butterfly flying, leisurely and agile.
Murphy is not good at rhythm, but he also finds the sound of the violin very pleasant, gurgling like flowing water. However, how many men in this room are focused on this gentle piano sound?
At the end of the song, there were cheers and admiration. The prefect seemed to have said a few compliments, and then the beauty of the lotus appeared.
This woman's singing voice is amazing, and she shocked the audience at the beginning of her singing. The voice like that day, sometimes low-pitched, sometimes high-pitched, sometimes tactful, sometimes soothing, accompanied by the moving sound of the pipa, it is really unforgettable.
Obviously, the voice of the lotus beauty was higher than that of the orchid beauty. This time Bojun won and got the opportunity to accompany the orchid beauty.
I have to say that women of this era are indeed outstanding in singing and dancing skills, and Murphy sighs.
But what a beautiful flower, but it has been ruined by these men!
What followed was another splendid battle, with all kinds of beauties appearing in turn, which feasted the eyes of the men present. Of course, there are a lot of people who haven't guessed the flower name and can only miss the opportunity to embrace Xinmei.
Murphy sat alone in the cubicle, silently listening to the movement outside. As she guessed, no one called her flower name.
It was not until the banquet guests finished fighting that the atmosphere outside gradually calmed down. The men judged the pros and cons of various beauties, and the most striking one was probably the Lotus Beauty of the Bojun family.
Although Murphy couldn't see it, but from the intermittent praise, it could be heard that this beauty was extremely talented, astonished the audience, and won a lot of admirers.
At this time, someone suddenly said: "Mr. Xi, I have often heard the name of your beauties recently, but unfortunately this fight was missed. Now that the fight is over, should you invite your beauties to the stage?"
As soon as this statement came out, there was an immediate response. The prefect said: "There are still a few beauties in the pavilion that have not been ordered yet, why don't we invite them out together!"
No matter how many people would disagree, they nodded their heads in agreement, and Xi Su naturally would not object.
Several people present were curious about the beauty of Xi Su's family. If she could get Di Ke's praise, there must be something special about her. Unfortunately, Xi Su has always been hidden and has no chance to see. Mystery is often the most annoying. Qian Pan Hope, now can finally see its true face.
Not long after, several women in costumes walked out from behind the screen, and for each name, a woman came forward to greet them.
"Xijia Meiji, Fu'er." Hearing this announcement, the people who were still a little absent-minded immediately regained their spirits and looked around, only to see a tall and slender woman walking slowly.
At first glance, it is like a spring breeze blowing on the face, elegant and serene; when look at it again, the black hair and cicada temples, the phoenix eyes are flowing, the skin is as translucent as beautiful jade, the figure is graceful, and there is a special rhythm between actions; the third eye, Such as clearing the clouds and seeing the sun, lead Hua Fu Yu, with a clear and transcendental temperament, which makes people forget the vulgarity.
This is the Fu'er of "natural beauty, peerless and refined, and the moon is like a goddess"? Sure enough.
Mo Fei folded his hands flat and bowed slightly forward: "Fu'er has seen the prefect and all the adults."
Murphy has never kneeled to anyone since he came to this era, and this time was no exception. But the strange thing is that no one was present to criticize them. Instead, they felt that this etiquette was more pleasing to the eyes. The simple actions of walking, standing, and bowing could be done so calmly and naturally, with a natural demeanor.
It wasn't until Murphy walked to Xi Su and sat down that everyone in the room slowly returned to their senses.
As soon as Fu'er came out, the beauty in the field had a feeling of eclipsed. This was not the difference in beauty, but the level of aura and bearing. Even Lianhua Meiji, who had been praised repeatedly just now, turned her head subconsciously the moment she met Fuer's eyes. Her eyes are not sharp, but there is a kind of magic that penetrates the heart.
No matter how beautiful a beauty is, in the eyes of men, it is just something to enjoy. However, Fu'er is different. This is a woman who is hard to ignore. Although she sits still, she is as deep as an abyss, her temperament is like snow, and she is as indifferent as a cloud.
For a time, everyone suddenly found that they had some words to say, and they didn't know how to praise this woman. It seemed that any words of praise were a little weak, and it was a kind of humiliation.
Her beauty is far different from others, as if not like people in this world.
What a lasting impression it left on people! After today, the name of Fu'er will definitely be popular in the Central Capital. Even if she didn't show any talent or talent...
Xi Su picked up the wine glass to cover the smile on his lips, and looked at Murphy beside him, who was looking as usual. If he was a woman, then he must be the woman of the emperor. How can ordinary men have a similar aura?
After a moment of coldness, the prefect said: "Doumei is over, you can stay overnight in the mansion today, the beauty is in your arms, and you can enjoy the joy."
The prefect even skipped Murphy and never said anything lightly, but a surprise flashed in his eyes.
Murphy didn't notice this, just listened to Xi Su whispered, "Let's stay tonight."
"Have to stay?"
Xi Su nodded: "How do you think I can get the prefect to agree to send you that branch of Zimo?"
"Why? Did you negotiate any terms with him?"
"There are indeed conditions, you will find out later." Xi Su showed a strange smile.
Murphy glanced at him and said nothing.
In the middle of the night, the participants left the hall one after another and followed the servants into their respective bedrooms.
After the alcohol dissipated and the noise subsided, Murphy felt that this night was more tiring than usual. First, she couldn't stand the lewdness of these men, and secondly, the fiery gaze that lingered on her just now made her extremely uncomfortable. She swore that when she was free, she would never wear women's clothes again!
Murphy walked into the guest room, and after Xi Su ordered the maid to serve her well, he turned and left.
She originally thought that Xi Su would share a room with her. After all, such a banquet is a gentle town for men. How could they pay attention to the etiquette of separating rooms between men and women?
I'm afraid there is another beauty in Xi Su's arms, right? After all, she is a fake beauty in his eyes...
Thinking so, the maid has prepared hot water for Murphy. Murphy didn't plan to bathe and change clothes in this place. She went to the screen and planned to change her coat and scrub it casually.
Unexpectedly, just after taking off his coat, the candlelight in the room suddenly went out, and Murphy's heart suddenly burst. Just as he was about to speak, he felt that his mouth was covered by a big hand from behind, and then he was dragged to the slit behind the cabinet column. place.
What type of situation is this?
"Don't make a sound, don't move." A familiar voice sounded in his ear, and the warm breath rushed into his ear, causing Murphy to tremble slightly.
Xisu? What the hell is this guy doing? Running in the middle of the night is scary?
"Don't make a sound." Xi Su whispered again, "Just hide it quietly, you'll know the reason later."
Mo Fei stabilized his mind, slowed down his body, and watched the changes.
Xi Su felt the change in the person in his arms, so he let go of the hand covering her mouth and wrapped it around her waist instead.
The place where the two of them hid was very narrow, and the body was close enough to just cover the figure.
The surroundings were dark and silent, only the slightly suppressed breathing of the two of them could be heard.
Murphy felt the rhythm of Xi Su's heart beating, and the back that was close to his chest was extremely hot and humid. Coming to this era, this is probably the second time she has been so close to a man.
She wanted to open her mouth to ask what the current situation was, and divert her attention by the way, but the mysterious appearance of Xi Su made her cautious, and had no choice but to continue to endure this unusual intimacy.
Compared with Murphy's discomfort, Xi Su felt more heart palpitations. He didn't expect that the feeling of holding Murphy would be so wonderful. Although he couldn't see it, the fit of his body made him restless, and the arms around Murphy's waist were also stiff. move.
He only read, this person in his arms is a man, a man! Do not have any reverie!
In this silent ambiguity, the two slowly waited for the person who should come...
