Chapter 137

A young man in a soapy green riding dress got the flag, flew off the horse and landed on the ground, which was amazing.

The owner of the racecourse was not a stingy person. He only handed the purple jade whip to Xiao Jue, and exclaimed, "young master, you are the quickest person to get the flag in the recent years of seizing the wind!"

Cui Yuezhi couldn't help shaking his hands. "Huan Qing, before you arrived, I heard that your adoptive father had found a martial arts master for you. Now it seems that the martial master taught you with his heart. Such skills are rare even in Jiyang city. "

Xiao Jue nodded with a smile: "Uncle flattered."

He Yan heart way, that Cui Yue Zhi still don't know, Xiao Jue just that out, still accept. If you want to really open to fight, I'm afraid it will startle people's teeth, and also expose the risk of identity.

She was thinking that Xiao Jue had come over and threw the purple jade whip into her arms.

He Yan was flattered: "thank you Thank you

I always feel that Xiao Jue today is very different. It seems to be very easy to talk and has a good heart.

But can not think of a name, he Yan shook his head.

"Now I have the purple jade whip." Aunt Wei said with a smile: "if you don't go to the sacrificial ceremony by the river, it's very lively, and you can get a gift from the God of water. If you eat the gift, you will be bathed by the water god, and you will be protected by the blessing of Fukuzawa all the year round."

One of Cui Yue patted his head: "yes, yes, I almost forgot about it. Huan Qing, Yu Yan, you all go, seek a good omen! How can we not come to the water god Festival

He Yan was confused about what the water god sacrifice was, but he couldn't help it, so he went to the other end of the canal with the people. When I got to the nearby place, I saw a large flat land near the canal. A round platform was built. There were many masked people singing and dancing on it. It's probably a folk song of Jiyang. The tune is very cheerful. It's very lively for men, women, old and young.

Just stand still, hear a woman's voice: "Cui Lord."

A few people looked at it and saw Ling Xiu, the lady of the Dian Yi family who had been visiting Cui's house a few days ago and had played the piano to everyone. Beside her stood Yan min'er, who was looking at her with bad eyes.

Today, Ling Xiu is also dressed up in full dress. She is wearing a pink long skirt and small boots worn by Jiyang women. Her long hair is also tied with a broken whip. She is gentle and playful for a few days. She said with a smile: "I met Mr. Cui as soon as I arrived here with min'er. It was really a coincidence. It's fate. "

Cui Yuezhi also laughed: "a Xiu, min'er, where are your parents?"

"My father and mother are all on the boat boat. Min'er and I are walking here with our servants and bodyguards. We want to see the sacrificial ceremony and take some offerings back." Her eyes fell on Xiao Jue. Xiao Jue only looked at the direction of the ritual platform. Without looking at him at all, Ling Xiu had a glimpse of Yin in her heart.

In fact, she and Yan min'er saw Xiao Jue, not here. They saw Xiao Jue just when they were fighting for wind on the racecourse. The young man looks like the moon, amazing, holding the flag and chuckling, immediately reflected in people's hearts, it is difficult to forget. However, such a man, so conspicuous in front of the public, is only to win the woman a whip she likes.

Ling Xiu was very jealous.

She was beautiful, talented and talented. She was admired by many young talents in Jiyang City, but she didn't look up to any of them. One day, such a person came and compared the whole city. It's a pity that she is a married man and treats his seemingly ordinary wife so well. If we say that at the beginning, Xiao Jue was just angry at her neglect. After several times, Ling Xiu even he Yan also hated it.

If you don't have Wen Yuyan, if you meet Qiao Huanqing first, it's yourself This is not the end at all. What's good about that woman? Qiao Huanqing was really blinded by lard, so he mistook fish eyes as pearls.

Heyan was looking at those dancing and singing people on the stage and asked aunt Wei, "why do they all wear masks?"

"A mask represents an identity. These are legends related to the water god. Dancing and singing at the ceremony is actually conveying the legend of the water god. " Aunt Wei said with a smile: "if Miss Yuyan likes it, she can dance together on the stage and play one of the roles. When the end is near, the Presbyterian will dip some water with willows and sprinkle it on everyone. If you bathe in the water of happiness, you will have a good fortune. "

He Yan, who had never heard of such folk custom, said, "it's very interesting."

Ling Xiu stepped forward and said with a smile, "does Mrs. Qiao want to come on stage together?"

He Yan waved his hand: "I just talk about it."

"Min'er and I also want to dance together on stage. If madam wants to join us, it will be very lively." She stares at Heyan with a soft and considerate smile, but somehow he resists instinctively. In fact, she is not very proficient in the relationship between women and undercurrent, even can be regarded as careless, but the ordinary hostility and friendliness can be separated.

Ling Xiu has an irresistible hostility to her. This is why he Yan thinks about it and does not offend the girl.

"You are of the same age," Cui Yuezhi said with a smile, "Yuyan will go up with you. The water god ceremony in Jiyang is very simple and not difficult. If there is something you don't understand, let a Xiu and min'er teach you together. "Cui Yuezhi had already said that. If he refused to go on, he seemed to have no respect for the folk custom of Jiyang. He said, "OK. But I can't dance. Don't laugh at me. "

"No way." Ling embroidery sweet way: "we will teach you." After that, he took Yan min'er to Guangtai: "let's get the mask first."

Heyan forced his head and sighed. Even though Ling Xiu and Yan min'er are hostile to her, they can't fight against her, and they can't do anything to her. They are just some harmless jokes. It's nothing to be smart about yourself.

She thought and heard someone say, "why not refuse?"

He Yan was surprised and looked sideways. Xiao Jue's eyes fell on her face. She couldn't see what expression it was. He sneered: "I don't like it clearly. Why don't you refuse it?"

"No," He Yan hesitated for a moment. "If you refuse, Mr. Cui may not be happy."

He laughed, as if he didn't agree with Heyan's way of doing things, and said: "if you don't like it, you can refuse, miss heta," he reminded, "you can't make everyone happy."

So it is, but

It seems to have become a habit to make everyone happy and satisfied.

At the other end, Yan min'er pulled Ling embroidery aside and whispered, "what do you mean? Who's going to dance with her? I don't have time to annoy her! I'm not going! "

"Wait a minute," Ling Xiu grabbed her, "you listen to me finish."

"What do you say?"

"I've heard about it before in xiuluofang."

Hearing this, Yan min'er's face turned red and choked for a moment, saying, "how can you know that?"

"Now this matter, who doesn't know, has been spread for a long time." Ling Xiu looked at her with a smile, "don't be angry, I'm on your side of course. Besides, I don't like Wen Yuyan either. How can she be better off if she is like this? "

"What do you want to do?" Yan min'er is not angry.

"It's not a dance. She's not allowed to show off. She has to make a fool of herself." Ling Xiu pointed to the mask on one side with a smile, "let her ask for trouble. We girls in Jiyang are not so good at bullying."

……

"I've never seen my wife dance," Lin Shuanghe said, shaking her fan. "It's really exciting to have such an opportunity today."

He Yan thinks that she can't dance. She can dance with a sword at most. However, she is a stranger. Even if she dances at the ceremony, others are just too harsh to ask for any big mistakes. It's just a lively picture together.

Just thinking, Ling Xiu and Yan min'er have come over. Yan min'er holds several masks in his hand, while Ling Xiu holds a wooden box. When she came to Heyan, Ling Xiu's face showed a puzzled look and said, "I just went to ask the Secretary for rites. Many people have come to offer sacrifices today, only these masks are left. I don't know how to allocate it. Why don't we draw lots? "

Isn't it a mask? He Yan didn't care too much, so he asked, "what's the difference?"

"Different masks represent different roles. In the myths and legends of Jiyang Water God, there are also some villains and clowns..." Ling xiudun, and show Yan smile, "but the possibility that the madam pulls to the clown is not big, should not."

He Yan "um" a, modest way: "you smoke first."

"Madame is not from Jiyang. I'd better smoke first." Ling Xiu said with a smile.

This kind of thing, refuse to go to also have no meaning, he Yan said: "good." With that, he reached into the wooden box that Ling Xiu held and pulled out a folded piece of paper.

She opened the note and saw it read "lie".

"Lie What do you mean? " She asked hesitantly.

Cui Yue was one of the stunned. Aunt Wei was also surprised. Ling Xiu covered her mouth and exclaimed, "it's a lie. Madam, today It's just too bad

"Isn't that good?" He Yan was puzzled.

"As I said just now, in the myths and legends of the water god of Jiyang, there are many villains, clowns and Beaver lies. This is a liar full of lies. He has committed many crimes by the water side of the world and cheated many people's wealth, even the old people and children. The most shameless things in the world have been done by him. The gods in the sky can't see it, so they send a fairy under the water god to subdue him. The liar can be full of lies in front of others, but he can only tell the truth in his stomach to the immortal Dharma. He said enough of his ten secrets, and finally was put into the water prison by the immortal, and he could not go ashore forever. "

He Yan listened to listen, and unconsciously put himself in. When he heard that immortality could not go ashore, he could not help but say: "how miserable."

"It's miserable." Yan min'er said with a smile: "however, since you have won the paper, you can only play a lie. If you have decided to sacrifice to the God of water, but you repent halfway, you will be punished by the God of water."

He Yan wanted to ask how the water god punished her, but on second thought, he did not know whether it was a coincidence that he died in the water in his last life.

She said: "that clown is the clown, in this world, there must be someone to play the clown, isn't it?"Cui Yuezhi hesitated: "but Yuyan, that mask..."

"What happened to the mask?"

Ling Xiu took the mask from Yan min'er's hand and handed it to Heyan: "this is the mask of the lie cat."

He Yan saw the appearance of the mask, and then he understood why Cui Yuezhi just looked like that. The mask looks like a civet cat or an extremely ugly one. It's ferocious, but in the middle of her eyes and nose, it's white. It looks both treacherous and ugly. The girl certainly doesn't want to wear such a thing on her face. What's more, the mask is very heavy and heavy. If it is put on the head, it makes the head bigger.

Heyan heh heh: "OK."

She never cared too much about the appearance. Aunt Wei's face is not very good-looking. These days, when she gets along with Heyan, she only feels that he Yan is gentle and cheerful, treats people well and has a good spirit. Others can't understand her. She grew up in the back house, and the women's rivalry and jealousy can be seen at a glance. It is clear that Ling Xiu deliberately made a stumbling block to Heyan.

If you think about it, if you play a clown in front of your sweetheart and perform all kinds of funny actions, even if you don't know what others think, you will feel ashamed and shameless. Which woman in the world doesn't want to be as charming as Diao Chan in the eyes of her lover?

Wei aunt said: "how can you let Yuyan girl play a clown, can't say with Si Li?"

"Nothing." He Yan said with a smile: "sacrifice is a matter of sincerity, and there is no need to haggle over details."

Cui Yuezhi didn't realize that the atmosphere was wrong. Seeing he Yan saying so, he said with a smile: "good! Yuyan is so refreshing

On the other hand, Lin Shuanghe and Xiao Jue frown at the same time.

Lin Shuanghe took a fan to cover his face and whispered to Xiao Jue: "the blue Yan culprit, the disaster you caused has made my sister Wo suffer."

Xiao Jue's face was slightly cold. Glancing at him, he was silent and suddenly opened his mouth: "you just said that the secret of the lie lies of the beaver should be told to the immortal."

Ling Xiu saw that Xiao Jue took the initiative to talk to her. She was pleased and said with a smile: "yes. When the lady got on the stage, she would tell her ten secrets to the one who played the immortal. "After a pause, Ling Xiu continued with a smile:" and these ten secrets must be true secrets. Because in the legend, when the lie faced the fairy, it was made by the immortal method and had to tell the truth. When the lady introduces, she has to tell ten secrets. "

He Yan is speechless and suspects that the fairy is actually a madman who likes to pry into other people's secrets.

"Immortals also have role-playing," Xiao Jue's eyes clear and light passing Ling embroidery, "in this case, I'll come."

"Why Is it? " Ling Xiu was stunned.

He Yan also froze.

"Don't understand?" The man's eyes are sharp as electricity, although the tone is calm, the expression is cold, "I want to play the listener."

He Yan almost didn't choke to death by his saliva. What Xiao Jue means in this words is to dance on the stage together? He Yan couldn't understand whether Xiao Jue was crazy or the world was crazy. Xiao Er childe can do this kind of thing, say to go to Shuo capital city nobody will believe!

Chiwu and feinu couldn't believe their eyes. They suspected that something was wrong with their ears.

Xiao Jue took the initiative to put forward the matter, but Ling Xiu didn't know what to do for a while, but the man's eyes were too cold, which made her afraid. Subconsciously, she said, "for Why? "

"Because," Xiao Jue said with a smile, "how can my wife's secret be known to others?"

Only a word, then let just still have some fear of Ling xiudeng's face turned blue.

He Yan said:

She almost fainted. She felt that Xiao Jue was not like Xiao Jue today. She was baffled.

Xiao Jue didn't care what he Yan looked like, but asked Ling Xiu, "which mask is it?"

Ling Xiu points to one of Yan min'er's hands. Yan min'er is afraid of Xiao Jue, so she hands it over immediately. He Yan takes a look at the mask of the immortal. It's nothing special. It's just a piece of black half iron. Then he points a cloud pattern in the center of his forehead.

"How?" He asked.

Aunt Wei saw the way and said with a smile, "in fact, there are not so many rules for dancing on the sacrificial platform. If you are a native, you will understand it. But if you are an outsider, if you are sincere and pray for the God of water, you are only in form. The goddess of water is very tolerant and will not haggle over trifles. "

Xiao Jue: I understand

He looked at Heyan and saw that he Yan was still holding the mask and holding her wrist: "come here."

After two steps to the sacrificial platform, Heyan looks back and sees that Ling Xiu and Yan min'er's eyes fall on him. The hostility is not less than just now. "What's the matter with you?" she asked? Governor, are you crazy

"You're crazy." Xiao Jue said displeased: "why did you promise her?"

"I don't want to tell you. I'm afraid Mr. Cui is not happy. What's more, it's no big deal if you just dance with a mask and you don't have to dance with a knife or stick. It's a lot of meat. "

He turned to stare at He Yan, quite ironic smile: "to me, how did not see you so obedient?"He Yan said Am I not obedient enough? "

Xiao Jue is too difficult to serve!

"In the future, if you don't want to do it, you can refuse it." Xiao Jue beautiful eye son tiny Mi: "don't let a person feel that you compromise, ugly dead."

"I didn't compromise."

"You have." He drooped his eyes to see Heyan, his mouth slightly hook, with a mockery, "you like to cheat, do you even cheat yourself?"

He Yan couldn't say anything. She instinctively wanted to refute, but she felt vaguely that Xiao Jue's words were right.

But in many cases, sacrificing one's feelings and preferences has become a habit. There are more, more important things to consider. No one can tell her, you can refuse, you can be wayward, you can be unhappy.

So gradually, these are gone.

Xiao Jue see he Yan listless appearance, pause, knock her head, way: "put on quickly." Say, oneself first picked up the mask in the hand to put on the face.

The mask was made of iron. It was very smooth, but it was still very heavy. Xiao Jue put the mask on her face with one hand, and put the other hand around the back of her head to buckle the mechanism. When he saw that, he Yan put the "lie" aside and said, "I'll help you."

She walked up to Xiao Jue and said to him, "put the mask to the right place, and I'll help you buckle it from the back."

Xiao Jue is tall, and she can only stand on tiptoe to buckle the mechanism on her head. She says: "have you never worn a mask before? How can it be so simple?"

Xiao Jue sneered: "have you worn a lot?"

He Yan one Zheng, smile way: "did not eat pork, always saw pig run Bai." To help Xiao Jue wear well, she will be the only "lie" on her face.

Two people, one wearing a mask, more mysterious and noble, the other is funny and treacherous, it seems, how all feel funny.

Xiao Jue took her and went to the altar together. He nodded to them gently and pushed them to the center of the ritual platform.

Surrounded by masked people singing and dancing, Heyan couldn't understand. He said to Xiao Jue, "governor, how do you dance?"

Xiao Jue: "I don't know."

He Yan learned from the people around him for a while, but in a moment, he thought it was too difficult and gave up. She took Xiao Jue to the corner of the ceremony platform, where no one paid attention to it. She said, "forget it, don't jump, do something else."

Xiao Jue, wearing a mask, couldn't see her expression clearly, but she wanted to know that the face under the mask was filled with impatience at the moment.

"Governor, we will not be blamed by the water god for our perfunctory behavior?"

"Scared?" Xiao Jue said

"It is better to believe in its existence than not in its absence."

The man continued to be very cold

"I can't dance."

After a while, he Yan said, "governor Just now that Ling girl said, "lie lies need to tell ten secrets to the immortal. Since we're up, we'll play to the end. I'll tell you my ten secrets.". It's all over. Maybe the immortal doesn't care about our not dancing when we are so devout. "

Xiao Jue laughed and said lazily, "OK, you say so."

The ten secrets must also be true. That's hard to say.

She said, breaking her fingers.

"I used to be a good drinker, but now I'm getting worse."

"I can recite Wu Zi's art of war."

"I'm the first of liangzhouwei."

"I especially want to enter the nine flag camp."

"I pulled all the buttons on Cheng Lishu's clothes. I can sell them for money."

These are five, Xiao Jue listened, also feel quite speechless, only way: "boring."

He Yan, however, was encouraged and continued his efforts.

"The governor is a very good man in my heart. I thank him very much."

Xiao Jue sneered: "I will not let you into the nine flag camp."

"Every time the governor misunderstands me, I feel sad."

Xiao Jue: "continue to cheat."

"I have been predestined with the governor in my last life!"

Xiao Jue didn't even bother to give her a look.

He Yan: "I was a female general in my previous life."

This is even more ridiculous.

There's only one last secret left.

He Yan raised his head to look at his predecessors. His face was covered with a mask and looked at her directly. He only showed his beautiful chin. His lines were extremely beautiful. His lips were thin and gorgeous. He was lazy and tired. He showed the ruthlessness and tenderness of the youth.

Her own face is also covered by a mask, hidden in the dark, as in the night, with an infinite sense of security.

"The last secret," He Yan stepped up to his chin with a soft voice. "I like the moon."

"The moon doesn't know."
