MTL - Year of Herbs-Chapter 37 lantern
After the carriage stopped, Hua Rongyue was about to go down. She and Jiang Lianhuan needed to go to different places, so she got out of the car neatly first.
"Are you going to go out like this?" Jiang Lianhuan asked from the car.
"It's not surprising to just go out like this." Hua Rongyue said.
Jiang Lianhuan's expression became very strange for a moment, as if looking at Hua Rongyue and wanting to vomit. He looked at the clothes Hua Rongyue was wearing. Today, Hua Rongyue was wearing gray-blue clothes with good silk and satin, with a black belt around his waist and a hairband of the same color on his head. Also embroidered with silver thread.
The face is like a crown jade, and the jade tree faces the wind.
Well, it is Hua Rongyue's daily dressing style.
Jiang Lianhuan suddenly felt a little unbearable.
"Are you going to a banquet or to kill someone?" The old man in the car immediately became anxious when he heard Hua Rongyue's words, "Put this on and go."
He threw a package from the car, Hua Rongyue caught it, watching the carriage disappear in front of her, she opened the package, it was a black robe.
Very common, very common, simple and casual, more in line with the uninhibited style of Jianghu people.
But Hua Rongyue never wears it.
Even if she was in Tianyi Building, she had to clean herself up like she was not a killer at all.
With this dress, there is also a small silver ring and a mask that covers half of her face. The ring is worn by Hua Rongyue, which is said to prove her identity.
Hua Rongyue put the ring on the little finger of her left hand, watched the carriage roll away, and left her here alone. She threw the black robe aside and just silently took out the mask.
Jiang Lianhuan followed the old man and continued to walk forward. The two of them did not speak to each other in the car. The car slowly stopped at a house, Jiang Lianhuan got out of the car, and there was a very comfortable smile on his face.
"Lian Huan, you're here!" There were already a lot of people sitting in the house. Someone came over and greeted Jiang Lianhuan affectionately. Regardless of whether Jiang Lianhuan knew him or not, he would be able to chat and laugh along anyway.
Hua Rongyue knows most of the people in this room, maybe she is not at the level of knowing these people in the six doors.
Jiang Lianhuan never told Hua Rongyue what he was going to do with him. He was uncharacteristically quiet today, but just found a corner and sat down to drink tea.
The atmosphere in the room was also unusual. The old man who came in with Jiang Lianhuan was not a special person here.
There are two people sitting at the screen at the innermost part of the room. Except for the two people, everyone is sitting outside, and they are automatically separated from the two people inside.
One of these two people is the interviewer Hua Rongyue met on the day of the "interview", and the other one is sitting with him, also unable to see his face.
"I heard that Yi Linglong was chosen by you?"
"It's me." The interviewer said. The person across from him laughed, "I heard... he is a very quiet person?"
The word quiet... But it is not suitable for Yi Linglong at all. The people present were all smart people, and they all felt that there was something wrong with these words.
"I thought that person was more pleasing to the eye, so I stayed." The interviewer's voice could not be heard.
"You always like to make up your own mind." Another humane said, "There are a lot of people here today. If something goes wrong with him... I'm afraid it won't end."
The person behind the curtain did not speak, but just chuckled. When the two were talking, everyone outside was silent.
Jiang Lianhuan thought to himself what was going on with the two of them, the discourse between the two was so misunderstood, and there was nothing to do between the two, so just use Hua Rongyue as a raft.
It looks like... Hua Rongyue may not be able to be kind easily today.
He looked at his feet and felt a little unhappy. He had never heard of such a moth before he wanted to come.
Hua Rongyue didn't know what happened to Jiang Lianhuan, she was still weighing the mask in her hand, it felt very good, heavy, silver, very textured, she looked at Strange, I used to see this thing in costume dramas all the time, but I didn't expect to try it on myself today.
Six Doors wanted to spread the news that Yi Linglong was not dead, so at the moment, they had to ask Hua Rongyue to do one thing—
They want Hua Rongyue to fetch a lantern.
What's so strange about a lantern? The peculiarity of this lantern may also talk about its origin.
—Tianyilou’s order to kill Yi Linglong has attracted a group of people who want a share of the pie. It just so happens that recently everyone said that Yi Linglong is in Jiangnan, and the eighth floor in Jiangnan is in A lantern hangs on the most prosperous restaurant in Jiangnan.
The lantern is small, only the size of a palm, a glazed lotus lantern.
The owner of Tianyi Building said that if Yi Linglong is still out of breath, he will come to this restaurant within three days to take off the lantern.
—If you don’t come, you are already dead, and there will be no more Yi Linglong on the rivers and lakes.
To this day, there are no people in Jiangnan who do not know the news. Hua Rongyue came out of the Hundred Herbs Hall on the front foot, and Doctor Qi and the others had to hear the news from others.
Today is the third day.
…Six Doors speculates that Tianyi Building may send a fake Yi Linglong to the lights today, or simply not send anyone, just wait for the three-day period to pass, and directly announce that Yi Linglong has been dead news.
If Hua Rongyue before the time traveled, he would have said: Then I will not go.
But after coming here for nine months, Hua Rongyue gradually has a sense of belonging in the big dye vat of Jianghu. Once you have a sense of belonging, you will find that this is not A simple matter of going or not going.
Fame is a means to gain a foothold in the arena, and perhaps also the life of some people in the arena.
Hua Rongyue also secretly asked herself before coming, if she didn't come here today because of Six Doors, would she still come here in person?
If Yi Linglong doesn't come today, even if "he" is still alive, after today, "he" is already dead in the hearts of Jianghu people.
Most of Yi Linglong's time in the arena is actually obscure and dark, it is day after day hard work and swordsmanship.
A memory that brings back memories on a rainy night.
The place where Hua Rongyue was thrown is quite far from the restaurant, so she has to walk for a while. She didn't wear a mask, and after rushing for a while with Qinggong, she came to a bustling street.
There is a plaque hanging in the middle of the tallest building on the street, with the three characters "Drunken House" engraved on it. The person who hung it may also be worried that everyone can't see it clearly, so he also tied a red rope beside it.
It is particularly conspicuous, if it is a modern high-rise building, but it is the final conspicuous landmark of such a place,
Everything related to martial arts is very interesting, Hua Rongyue looked up at the lantern. Her movements are not unusual, because everyone on the street does it except her.
The whole street is full of people, all people, all kinds of people, densely packed...
This is probably impossible if it were any other world.
Equally refreshing are the inns and restaurants in the martial arts world, where people deal with Jianghu people all year round.
The first restaurant in the south of the Yangtze River like "Duiju Pavilion" encountered such a thing, and even hung up the lanterns generously, and even regarded it as a means of attracting customers.
Hua Rongyue looked at all the restaurants on both sides of the street, and the inn was already full of people... From time to time, someone looked up and looked outside, seeing that the lanterns were still there, and then put their heads back.
Before the opening of the play, the protagonist had not yet arrived, and the audience had already blocked it.
—It's just...ancient World Cup.
Hua Rongyue had this idea in her mind.
Whether Yi Linglong comes or not, it can be regarded as history.
Jiang Lianhuan opened the window in a restaurant on both sides of the street and looked down, looking for Hua Rongyue, but there were too many people present, he couldn't look at Hua Rongyue at all The figure, it can only give up the search.
"Did you give him anything when you came?" The old man behind the curtain seemed to be finally unable to hold his breath, and asked the old senior who came with Jiang Lianhuan in a low voice.
"Yes." The old man nodded.
Jiang Lianhuan knew that the clothes and masks were originally prepared by this adult.
He felt that Hua Rongyue was a little too rigid, just like the clothes he wore every day, and he was not the same as him. Although Jiang Lianhuan also dressed himself up like a man, he always wore a red jade pendant on his ear.
He hates sticking to the rules, even if he really needs to disguise himself, he must do something to make himself different. But Hua Rongyue is not. His character is actually very "well-behaved". He almost does what others tell him to do.
But if you let him wear the clothes that were given to him today... Jiang Lianhuan imagined it in his heart, but he always felt a little awkward.
There is something wrong.
He always secretly laughs with Dr. Qi and Hua Rongyue is not suitable for being an elementary school apprentice at all, but he really asked him to change into another dress, but he felt that he couldn't imagine it. .
Hua Rongyue was still wearing the clothes she wore when she came to look at the Zuiju Pavilion. Those people in Six Doors didn't know that this clothes... was actually carefully selected by Hua Rongyue when she came. of.
After all... the upper management of Tianyi Building knew that Yi Linglong was someone who cared about her appearance very much.
He will always appear in front of everyone in the most respectable way.
Yi Linglong should be a person who will never let anyone see his ugliness.
Hua Rongyue glanced at the lantern again, and slowly walked into the drunk house.
