Early winter in the south is not as cold as in the north.
Occasionally, the sun peeks out half of its face from the clouds, making people feel warm and comfortable.
Xia Chuyi stopped her cultivation gesture, stood up from the couch, and glanced up at the sunlight missing from the window sill.
It was shining white, illuminating the whole room brightly, and everything could be seen clearly.
She walked slowly to the edge of the table, looked at the several candy boxes piled on top, stopped, and was lost in thought for a long time.
Finally coming back to her senses, she simply wrapped the things on the table with a piece of black cloth and put them all in the storage bag.
After doing all this, a bright smile appeared on her face. She reached out to hold Chang Huan, who had already woken up, and said expectantly: "Let's go watch the excitement on the street!"
Chang Huan's eyes moved slightly, and he let Xia Chuyi pull him out of the door obediently.
Jin Yuanbao had already arranged everything outside. When he saw her coming out of the room, he quickly had someone place a painted red box in front of her.
"I have prepared all the things you asked me to prepare here. As for Feng Luo, it would be better for you to send them there in person."
He touched his nose a little awkwardly, obviously unwilling to do this errand.
Only now did Xia Chuyi remember what she had asked Feng Luo to agree to yesterday. She immediately put all the miscellaneous things behind her and opened the box excitedly.
"Not bad, Yuanbao, the preparations are quite complete."
She casually rummaged through the contents of the box, and the smile on her face grew stronger.
Jin Yuanbao was a little frightened when he saw her smiling like that, and said quickly: "Don't go too far, I also put the veil for covering your head inside, you can slowly toss it."
"What is tossing? This is called giving him a new life experience. Just wait and see." Xia Chu shook his head with an overly bright smile, stretched out his hand, and asked someone to carry the box to Feng Luo.
Go inside the house.
Feng Luo had also woken up a long time ago and was sitting at the table drinking tea. When he saw Xia Chuyi coming in with something, he didn't say anything, as if he had accepted his fate, and she could make trouble no matter what.
Xia Chu waved everyone out, and even Chang Huan rushed to the door to help her watch the door.
When Chang Huan's God-killing God was standing there, everyone immediately retreated, no longer interested in watching the excitement. They looked up at the empty roof and walked away unsteadily.
In the room, Xia Chuyi fixed Feng Luo in position, and his eyes turned into two crescent moons, squinting so hard that he seemed completely invisible: "Feng Luo, when I see you later, don't be too nervous.
Surprised."
Feng Luo frowned slightly: "What on earth are you going to do?"
Xia Chuyi took out something from the box and said with a smile: "I'll give you a makeover!"
…
A group of people were eating morning snacks in the private room, and from time to time they looked through the wide open door to Feng Luo's closed door opposite, with very strong curiosity on their faces.
Ying Si quietly approached Jin Yuanbao and asked with some anxiety: "Young Master, are those things Miss Xia asked to prepare really for Young Master Feng?"
Jin Yuanbao took a sip of barley and lotus seed porridge, with a faint smile on his lips: "Do you want to try it?"
Ying Si immediately returned to his seat. Facing some doubtful looks directed at him, he stretched out his two index fingers and made a cross on his mouth.
Jin Yuanbao raised his head and glanced at the door, a dark thought was shouting in his heart - not to mention, he was also vaguely looking forward to it now.
About an hour later, when everyone was just about to fall asleep on the table after eating and drinking, the door that had been closed finally opened.
Everyone immediately became energetic and looked up.
"hiss--"
There was a tacit understanding and the whole body gasped. After the door opened, a graceful figure in white gauze came out. The ring on her body jingled, which sounded particularly pleasant.
Yingyi felt his head was empty, and he said in amazement: "Miss Xia actually dresses like a woman sometimes."
Next to Ying 4, because he was already somewhat prepared, he glanced at Ying 1 with disdain: "Don't make trouble, boss, why is Miss Xia so tall?"
As soon as Ying Si spoke, everyone's expressions suddenly froze, and then they looked at the beautiful figure in white in front of them carefully as if they couldn't believe it.
Her slim figure is wrapped in a long white skirt, which gives her a sense of elegance. The pleated skirt ripples slightly with her steps, giving her an indescribable aura.
Unfortunately, because she was covered by a white veil, she couldn't see the face clearly, but everyone realized that this beauty in white was really not the petite Xia Chuyi.
The remaining possibilities...
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and finally we all sighed together.
Xia Chuyi flashed out from behind the beautiful figure in white and greeted everyone with a smile: "How are you? Are you surprised?"
Everyone wanted to nod, but when they thought of the real person under the white gauze mask, they immediately shook their heads, resolutely refusing to admit that they were indeed amazed at that first moment.
"Humph, a bunch of lackluster people."
Xia Chuyi snorted coldly, holding Chang Huan with one hand, and the other hand naturally held Feng Luo, who was elegantly dressed in white, leaving all the gold ingots and Yi Qian's shadow behind.
Ying Yi watched the figures of the three people gradually move away, and immediately touched his chin and couldn't help but sigh: "Young Shaoxia Feng is really more feminine than Miss Xia when she wears this girl's clothes."
Ying Si nodded quickly: "Miss Xia looks like a dominatrix in women's clothes."
Ying Yi tried to cover Ying Four's mouth but didn't cover it. This guy's mouth was even worse than Ying Three's!
As expected, these words directly attracted a brief glance from Jin Yuanbao, and a faint sentence: "There may be a lot of things at the end of this year, so you can waive your year-end leave and come and help me."
Ying Si looked confused, and Ying Yi wanted to jump up and hit him on the head.
"Why don't you keep up?" A sentence came from the front.
"Yes, young master."
…
A group of people walked onto the street in a mighty manner, but except for Ying 1 and Ying 4 who followed behind a few people and were responsible for picking up things, the other shadows were hiding in secret places around them and following them secretly.
Today is indeed more lively than yesterday. The streets are full of stalls selling various gadgets and snacks, which makes Xia Chu's first day dazzling.
Her principle is that forget about jewelry, makeup, and snacks, and you must pack a portion of each item to take with you.
Ying 1 and 4 were behind them. As they walked, they had to wrap up everything Xia Chuyi pointed at, which was a huge mess.
Today is the birthday of Empress Baihua, and it is also a day for all handsome men and beauties. So the streets are full of beautifully dressed women, as well as young men who are still shaking paper fans in the cold weather.
Of course, some people who are a little more reserved will also wear a hood, so Feng Luo's outfit is not too abrupt, but gives people a sense of elegance and refinement.
And when Xia Chuyi pulled Feng Luo and swaggered through the market, she was like a little maid taking her own lady around, and the light was suddenly covered up.
She didn't care about this, she just secretly looked at how many men turned back to look at Feng Luo. Seeing that the rate of turning back was quite high, she immediately became proud and pulled Feng Luo to go to a crowded place.
"Oh! What a place there is!"
She pointed at the street in front of her, sniffed, and felt countless fragrances emanating from her body, as if countless hands were reaching out to her and scratching her heart.
Before Jin Yuanbao could answer her, she couldn't wait to pull Chang Huan and Feng Luo and rush inside.
“Wow, it’s delicious, so much delicious food!”
Xia Chuyi looked at the food that was flowing past like a food court, and felt that the happiest moment in life was now.
As for the beauties with different styles standing behind each gourmet table, she automatically ignored them and rushed towards the food.
However, when she pounced on it, she couldn't eat it. The beautiful woman lifted the food in front of her, completely denying Xia Chu a chance to get her hands on it.
She curled her lips and rushed towards the other side, but was still stopped by someone.
After working on it for a long time, I didn't get anything to eat.
"Are these foods placed as tribute?"
Xia Chuyi was depressed when she saw the women next to her immediately burst into smiles, picked up the food in their hands and walked towards her.
She was overjoyed and wondered if this was a strange custom in Baihua City. Just as she was about to politely excuse herself, she saw those people completely ignoring her and running straight towards Chang Huan behind her.
"Eat me, eat me..."
"Master, let's try the slave's food..."
"How old is the young master? Where does he live..."
…
Xia Chuyi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said with some shame: "Aren't these people too reserved?"
Chang Huan and Xia Chuyi were the same type of people. They would not refuse food handed to them by others, and they collected a lot of food in a short time.
With a plate in his mouth and a pile in his hands, he walked towards Xia Chuyi.
When Xia Chu saw this, he was immediately moved to the point of tears in his eyes: "It's such a long time, you are still thinking of me."
Just as they were about to pick up their chopsticks and start eating, they saw a group of women surrounding them. They all lost their attentive expressions and looked at them with unkind expressions.
Xia Chuyi, who was fearless, felt that his hand holding the chopsticks was shaking a little under the horrifying looks of the women, and immediately said in a trembling voice: "I don't want to eat, isn't it okay if I don't eat...
"
After pushing aside the bunch of wolf-like women, Xia Chuyi ran out of the street with Feng Luo and Chang Huan, and saw Jin Yuanbao, Ying Yi, and Ying Si standing at the intersection of the street, looking at her.
He was laughing like a wolf.
If you look closely, they even burst into tears and laughed.
"Xiao Xiaoxiao, you are so ridiculous, you didn't even go in to help me just now!" Xia Chuyi put his hands on his hips and said angrily.
Ying 1 and 4 felt that their stomachs hurt from laughing so much that they couldn't bear it. Seeing Xia Chuyi still looking like he didn't understand the situation, they immediately said "Ouch" and squatted down to hug their stomachs.
Jin Yuanbao shook his head, walked up to her, reached out and gently rubbed her hair: "Really, I can't even tell you to stop. Not everyone can go to that street."
Xia Chuyi turned around and looked over, wondering: "Is there anything special?"
Yingyi came over and interjected: "My Miss Xia, this Baihua Empress' birthday is obviously a city-wide blind date party. The place you just went to is called Pinqiao Street. Usually only men can go there, so you go and join it."
What's so exciting?"
"Only men can go?" Xia Chuyi began to have wild thoughts in his head.
Seeing her appearance, Jin Yuanbao quickly explained: "This is the Pinqiao Festival, a special event for the birthday of Empress Baihua. On this day every year, those women who pride themselves on being able to work in the hall and in the kitchen will bring out their own
Put the specialty dishes in front of you. If a man wants to marry a good wife, he will go through this street. If he likes the one, he will eat the food she made. If it tastes good, he will give her a token of love and choose a date.
I’m going to come to propose marriage.”
"Ah?" Xia Chu was so surprised that his jaw almost dropped to the ground.
Ying Yi covered his mouth and snickered: "Miss Xia, you can't marry them. If you run in and eat the food they cook, aren't you looking for trouble?"
Only then did Xia Chuyi realize why those women just brought delicious food to Chang Huan. It turned out that they wanted to abduct him home!
She looked at Chang Huan's confused expression and said to herself that it was lucky she was here, otherwise such a simple and lovely Chang Huan might have been deceived by some woman with ulterior motives.
Then remembering how helpless the people in front of her were, she lazily raised her eyes and glanced at Ying 1 and Ying 4 behind Yuan Bao.
The two of them immediately stopped laughing and did not dare to laugh again.
Xia Chuyi snorted softly and said leisurely: "You said that you, young master, don't dare to go in. What else are you talking about? You two look like this and you don't dare to go in... Hehe, hehehe."
She laughed dryly, then turned around arrogantly and ignored them again.
Ying 1 and 4 looked at each other, and then said at the same time somewhat depressedly: "Are we that bad looking?"
Jin Yuanbao felt like he was laughing so hard that the corners of his lips were about to split.
The group of people naturally skipped the Pinqiao Festival and continued heading down.
"Hey, hey, what are you doing there?"
Xia Chuyi seemed to have discovered some new continent. He pulled Feng Luo and Chang Huan and ran forward quickly. Behind him, Jin Yuanbao quickly followed, for fear of losing the overly active little girl.
Looking at the long street of food, Fifteen was so excited that his little eyes widened a little, and the hairs all over his body seemed to stand on end.
A hand as white as jade pinched its tail, making a gesture of throwing it out: "You are a male anyway, so if you want to eat, just go in by yourself."
"No, Mr. Takino, how can you bear to treat such a cute little mouse like me?" Fifteen Eyes quickly turned around, holding on to the thin and powerful wrist with four claws, and even blinked, which was rare.
He acted coquettishly for a while.
His long eyelashes trembled slightly, Takiyue lowered his head, his green eyes sparkled slightly, and he looked at Fifteen with a half-smile.
Fifteen felt his body tremble, and immediately shrank back, looking even more pitiful.
Takiyue stretched out his index finger and tapped its nose: "You are really more difficult to take care of than a little thing."
As he said that, he really walked forward slowly and entered the Pinqiao street with suspended steps.
When Fifteen heard Longyue mentioning Xia Chuyi again, she couldn't help but wonder - since she talks about it every day, why didn't she go out to see her last night?
Perhaps this is why it can never figure out Takiyoshi, and it can never guess what he is thinking.
It's a pity that it didn't have the courage to ask, because at this moment it was counting on him to give it something good to eat.
Dressed in red, even among the bustling crowd, it is quite eye-catching.
Especially his unparalleled temperament, which outshone all the men on the street as soon as he entered, instantly attracted all eyes.
Everyone just felt that there was a ball of light in front of them, a ball of light that was fascinating and flocked to, but no one knew what was inside the light.
They all couldn't help but hand out the food in front of them. Takiyoshi didn't take any more, just took some and handed it to Fifteen. Watching him eat it into a ball, he couldn't help but slightly raise the corners of his mouth.
When he almost walked from one end to the other and gradually walked out of the sight of those women, they seemed to wake up from the intoxicating state, as if they had just collectively had a beautiful dream.
Standing on tiptoes and looking towards the end of the street, where is that charming red shadow?
I suddenly felt lost and thought to myself, this is indeed a dream. I have had that kind of dream even in broad daylight.
…
"Oh, look, look, look, it's the women's arena!"
Xia Chuyi had no interest in competing in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, so he automatically skipped it and went straight to the most lively place.
On the Taiyuan Continent, spiritual cultivation is the most impressive asset. Therefore, there are many women who have begun to cultivate spirituality since they were young.
Some people want to marry a good wife who can live in the hall or the kitchen, and naturally some people want to marry a spiritual practitioner who has spiritual power to protect the body and can occupy a certain position in Wuji Continent.
This competition arena undoubtedly gave those spiritual-cultivating women a platform to show off, and naturally attracted many people to come and watch.
By chance, when they arrived on the first day of Xia Chu, the two women had just finished fighting. The loser was walking down the ring sadly. The winner raised an eyebrow at everyone, obviously asking who else wanted to fight.
.
The woman in this ring has obviously won several games. The women present seem to be a little afraid of her, and no one has come up yet.
When Xia Chuyi looked at the body that was taller than Chang Huan, he couldn't help but frowned. He thought to himself that spiritual cultivation is about spiritual power. It seems that there is no physical cultivation, right?
Not to mention the appearance of the woman in front of me, her strong appearance can be compared with the big men of Mingqi Peak.
She was disappointed that she had missed the good show, when she glanced over and caught a glimpse of a tray placed on a table next to the ring. Inside the tray was a large plate of neatly stacked gold!
She swallowed her saliva immediately, turned back to look at Jin Yuanbao, and asked earnestly: "Is that gold the prize money for the first place in the competition?"
Jin Yuanbao said with some humor: "If you want gold, I can give it to you. There is no need to go to the ring and show your face for those thousands of taels of gold."
He thought that Xia Chuyi was going to do it in person, but he didn't expect that Xia Chuyi glanced at him with some confusion and said slowly: "Who said I was going to do it? Isn't there another one who doesn't have to show up in public?"
Jin Yuanbao and the shadows followed her gaze and looked at Feng Luo, who was covering his head with a veil, and couldn't help but twitch the corners of their mouths.
They seem to have forgotten that Feng Luo is also a "daughter" now.
