Chapter 341 Don't Contact Strangers
A few days ago, Dugu Jialuo disappeared. After Gu Xin found out, he immediately bought a small courtyard for her here. Although he did not say anything, he completely expressed the meaning of "what is the norm".
Dugu Jialuo went out to play on the Baihua Club, and Dugu Xin was acceptable, but attending the Baihua Banquet exceeded his bottom line. What is the Baihua Banquet? To put it nicely, it is a beauty pageant, and to put it badly, it is a way for girls in the romantic scene to compete for their kind guests. Dugu Xin must not allow Dugu Jialuo to participate in such dirty and vulgar things.
"Yes, Dugu Jialuo, even if you don't go home now, you can't do anything randomly. If Master Dugu Sima knew about it, he would probably be angry to death." Ji Ruyue, who rarely agreed with Dugu Xin, also stood in Dugu Xin's camp this time. She is a lady from a wealthy family. Although she is very interested in places like Qianxuelou and often comes and goes, she knows that she has to grasp the right position. For things like attending the Hundred Flowers Banquet, women from an official family like her cannot do it.
Dugu Jialuo understood these things, but she didn't want to show weakness to Hran Biran. She wanted others to know that her relationship with Yang Jian was indestructible.
"My idea is settled. Brother, Sister Ruyue, don't persuade me." Dugu Jialuo turned his gaze elsewhere.
Dugu Xin snorted coldly, not showing any weakness, "I didn't advise you! I'm telling you - no one is allowed to go!
"Young Master Lu!" The gentle voice was like a stream flowing slowly under the peach blossoms in spring. Dugu Mantuo stepped forward and walked to Dugu Jialuo, looking at Dugu Xin, smiling like a flower, "Miss Lu has made up her mind. What do you think is the purpose that has been disfigured to attend the Hundred Flowers Banquet?"
The answer is obvious, and this is also the reason why the three of them came here to find Dugu Jialuo.
Ji Ruyue coughed lightly, "Dugu Shan, I suddenly remembered that there is something to do, let's go."
"I won't leave. No matter what the reason, I can't let Gala attend the Hundred Flowers Feast!"
Dugu Xin is famous for his stubborn temper, but it happened that the only woman who could control him was here, "You can't solve any problem here now." Ji Ruyue said, pulling Dugu Xin's arm outwards.
"Let me go, what kind of tugs are you?" Dugu Xin struggled.
Ji Ruyue raised her eyebrows, "If you dare not listen to me, I will show you the truth." As soon as she finished speaking, Dugu Xin immediately followed her obediently.
Dugu Jialuo looked at their intimate appearance and couldn't help but smile gently. Unconventional? She had never seen Ji Ruyue's unconventional appearance. However, she guessed that Dugu Xin had seen it, and that look was not good-looking.
After seeing Dugu Xin and Ji Ruyue leave, Dugu Mantuo smiled bitterly. No matter what, she can't get rid of her identity as Fengyuechang. She glanced at Li Cheng who was chatting quietly with Yang Song. It was indeed a luxury. The children of the scholarly family are like this. How could they be with the girl from Fengyuechang?
However, she was just a little lost and then realized the purpose of her coming here. "Dugu Jialuo, the master said you want to attend the Hundred Flowers Feast, so let me help you."
When Yuwen Yu heard Dugu Mantuo say this, he seemed a little embarrassed and hurriedly denied, "Dugu Mantuo, don't talk nonsense. I don't want you to help her. It's obviously you want to come by yourself."
Dugu Jialuo naturally knew Yuwen Yu. Although he said excessive words to him in the afternoon, he was just a joke after all, and she no longer cared about it. However, the most important thing in attending the Hundred Flowers Banquet is appearance, and her face...
She smiled bitterly, "How can I help this?"
Let’s not talk about whether it can be cured. Even if it can be done, it will definitely not be possible in one day or two days.
"The master collected a piece of mermaid armor with a green water embroidered scale a few years ago. Just now, the master said that he just thought it was an apology for the rudeness this afternoon and gave it to you as a dance dress for the Hundred Flowers Banquet." Dugu Mantuo smiled softly.
Dugu Jialuo looked at Yuwen Yu when he heard this. He seemed a little embarrassed. He deliberately sat under the tree on the side to play with flowers and plants to show that he did not exist. He just noticed Dugu Jialuo's gaze and raised his head and glanced at her fiercely.
Although Dugu Mantuo said this, Yuwen Yu didn't seem to apologize at all. She couldn't help but feel speechless.
"Then, where is the clothes?" Turning back at Dugu Mantuo, Li Cheng, and Yang Song, Dugu Jialuo was puzzled.
Dugu Mantuo paused, "Clothes are not the main problem at the Hundred Flowers Banquet. Because you have large scars on your face, it is important to have a mask that matches the Green Water Embroidered Inkstone Mermaid Armor. However, the Green Water Embroidered Inkstone Mermaid Armor is a world-famous treasure and is made of the extremely precious Green Cloud Yarn. The master is planning to make this hollow mask that matches it with the Green Moon Soft Scale Jade. The Green Moon Soft Scale Jade is not only precious but also soft. Although it is suitable for matching the Green Water Embroidered Inkstone Mermaid Armor, it is difficult to carve complex patterns on it."
Dugu Jialuo heard her talk for a long time and understood one problem, that is, this dance dress is very precious and the matching mask is difficult to make.
"That Dugu Mantuo, what do you want to say?"
It's like a good news and a bad news. The good news is: someone gave her a good thing for free. The bad news is: this good thing cannot be used.
Dugu Mantuo smiled embarrassedly, "Making hollow masks requires extremely precise carving skills, and there is only one person in the four countries who can have such jade-control skills. It happened that he was in Chang'an, and the master sent me to ask him. He said he could agree, but he just wanted you to live in his place until the day when the Hundred Flowers Banquet began."
"Who is he?" For some reason, a chill came from Dugu Jialuo's back.
"I can't say it, but it must be someone you know." Dugu Mantuo smiled mysteriously, "In fact, this is not an excessive requirement, because when making masks, you really need to look at the location of the scars on your face."
"Okay, where is he?" Dugu Jialuo suppressed all the doubts in his heart.
Longxi at night is very cold and quiet.
This was the second time Dugu Jialuo felt Longxi so vividly at night. After she told Li Yuan about this, she followed Dugu Mantuo and the other four people in Li Yuan's sharp eyes.
Li Yuan didn't like her to attend the Hundred Flowers Banquet, but now he lives in the home of the mysterious Yuzhu Master in order to attend the Hundred Flowers Banquet. After the Hundred Flowers Banquet, he probably has to give her a cold face for a while.
Following Dugu Mantuo and Yuwen Yu, Dugu Jialuo slowly walked deeper into the Longxi Mountains.
Of course, Li Cheng would not take the sixth prince Yang Song into the mountain. At the intersection of the East Street, the few people had already separated.
Walking forward slowly, Dugu Jialuo looked at the unfamiliar night around him and felt a little scared. She and Li Yuan had been to Longxi together during the days they spent together in the village, but they just chopped wood and did not go so deep.
The blue and white stone paths had disappeared. Dugu Jialuo and the other two walked in the forest on the fallen leaves, making a "squeak" sound in the quiet night. I don't know how long I had walked, but it was about when the moon was in the sky. They walked out of the woods and suddenly appeared in front of them.
There is a small boat on the shore of the lake. A beautiful woman in white feathered clothes stands on the boat. The moonlight shines, which is particularly charming.
Seeing someone coming out of the woods, she turned her fingers, and the breeze blew, and a few leaves were sandwiched on her fingertips.
"Miss Achun, let's do it slowly. I am Dugu Mantuo, the owner of Qianxuelou Auction House. I have made an appointment with your son here to ask for a jade treatment." Dugu Mantuo saw the woman's actions as soon as he left the woods and said hurriedly.
The woman heard the words, and the leaves in her hand fell down. Then she suddenly came down from the boat and ran to Dugu Mantuo to look left and right. She said excitedly, "Dugu Mantuo? Are you the most beautiful girl in Chang'an? She is really a peerless beauty."
Dugu Mantuo chuckled, "Miss Achun is also very beautiful."
"That's right, if I'm not beautiful, how can I be my son's maid? You know, my son is the most picky person in the world about other people's appearance." A Chun looked proud when talking about her son.
Dugu Jialuo stood aside, feeling a little hyped. The only person she knew was Li Bing. But Li Bing was a bandit, how could he have such an elegant job of curing jade? Moreover, Li Bing was not a young man. Although he was no longer a bandit, he was just a guard of the Duke of Tang's Mansion.
"Okay, okay, stop talking here. I want to see what your young master looks like. I have been accusing of fame for a long time." Yuwen Yu was very excited. This is the second person who attracted his interest besides his son Yuwen Yong. Not to mention this person's famous appearance, the skill of medicinalizing jade alone is enough to make him covet for a long time.
However, Miss Achun severely broke Yuwen Yu's fantasy, "My young master said, I saw Miss Lu. Send Miss Lu here and you can leave."
Yuwen Yu was stunned and then shouted wildly, "Ah!!! Why!!! Can anyone who is famous among the four countries be so famous is like this?!!"
I don’t know where this problem came from! It seems that as long as people with some fame in the four countries are like this! The representative figure is Gongzi Yuwen Yong!
However, because Yuwen Yu is familiar with Yuwen Yong, he has long changed from his original yearning to endless nagging.
Achun laughed and said, "My young master doesn't like to contact strangers, so you might as well please go back."
"Forget it, it's so boring! I thought it would be more interesting to come here!" Yuwen Yu tilted his head and turned back into the forest.
When Dugu Mantuo saw Yuwen Yu leave, he hurriedly followed him.
The surroundings are silent, only Miss Achun and Dugu Jialuo are left.
