[Comprehensive Martial Arts] Ding Nvxia, the wife of the Zuo envoy

As the sky darkened, the red lanterns in Huajie and Liuxiang were lit up one by one, and the desolation of the day was swept away in the various pavilions, and gradually became crowded with people.

In the lobby on the first floor of Lingyin Pavilion, singing and dancing have already begun on the stage, and most of the guests present here are dandies living their lives without care.However, unlike in the past, tonight there was a group of big men dressed in Mongolian costumes in the corner, speaking a slightly blunt Chinese language, their eyes were like hawks looking at everyone present, as if they were looking for something.

Yang Xiao stood by the railing on the second floor, narrowed his eyes slightly and looked downstairs, raised his wrist and gestured calmly, then turned and walked into the room.

Hongwu downstairs nodded slightly after receiving the order, and a girl leaned over and whispered.The girl in the water-blue dress answered in a low voice, and turned around to take the jug from the hand of the boy beside her. With a charming smile on her face, she twisted her waist like a water snake and walked towards the table of Mongolians.

In the private room on the second floor, Ding Minjun sat sideways on the window sill facing the river, looked out through the wide open window at the painted boats with various lanterns hanging on the river, and asked curiously: "It's so lively, what are you doing here?"

The young servant who was serving the dishes at the table took a look, and answered with a radiant tongue: "Hey, that's the special show 'Flower Boat Parade' in our Fireworks Alley. If you are lucky enough to be spotted by them on the way, you can be invited to board the painted boat to swim with you, which is a very honorable thing to say." After taking a breath, he continued Yu Youyou said proudly: "This 'Flower Boat Parade' is an elegant thing that has been handed down from the previous dynasty. Even if the emperor changed, the old man has never stopped it. See, even the Mongols came all the way to join us. This is lively." He pointed to the outside from a distance, and said: "And the specifications of the boats that the girls take, the programs they perform, and the routes they travel are all talkative, and sometimes you can see a few boats. Don’t mention how wonderful the painting and fighting skills go hand in hand.”

Before the words were finished, noisy voices came from downstairs, and an exquisite two-story painting boat slowly sailed out of the bridge hole and docked at the place facing the river at the back door of Lingyin Pavilion.Seeing this, the young man slapped his head and apologized, "Oh! Look at my brain, I almost forgot that the Qianqian girl in our pavilion is going to board the boat today, this... honored guest, do you want to go and see it together?" Ding Minjun pointed to himself in surprise and asked, "Can I go too?"

The young servant looked at the expression of Yang Zuoshi who was sitting at the side without any trace, and then nodded affirmatively: "Yes, why can't you? You two are the distinguished guests of Sister Hong, you just need to say, little I will arrange it for you now."

Yang Xiao walked over with his hands behind his back, stood beside her and bent slightly, asking in a low voice, "Then do you want to go?"

Ding Minjun looked at his eyes that seemed to be full of stars under the light, and nodded involuntarily.

Yang Xiao raised the corners of his lips slightly, and said indulgently, "Since you want to see it, then let's go."

Ding Minjun was uncomfortable being stared at by him, he gently pushed his face away with his hands, glanced at the boy who was silently staring down at his toes, and complained softly: "Don't always look at me like this."

"What kind?" He deliberately teased her.

"Oh!" Ding Minjun pretended to be angry, and angrily said: "If you are so careful, I will ignore you!"

"Ah……"

Yang Xiao stretched his brows and eyes, and a burst of joyful laughter escaped from the depths of his throat.

The young servant who had been neglected for a long time rolled his eyes when he saw this, and bowed to leave winkingly without waiting for orders: "Come on, I'll tell Miss Hong right now, if you two have nothing else to do, now You are ready to go downstairs."

After finishing speaking, he ran out swiftly and closed the door lightly.

……

Half a quarter of an hour later, when Ding Minjun and Yang Xiao came to the back door together, they saw that the boat had already docked beside the steps, and a beautiful woman in green clothes was standing on the deck holding a pipa on the boat. Yes, half squatted down to give a blessing, and then moved aside.

Ding Minjun held up the hem of his skirt and looked at the side of the boat that was close at hand, but he was in trouble.It was also the reason for the skirt she was wearing. It was beautiful and fluttering. In addition to the wide sleeves, there was also a trailing hem. If she couldn't lift it all up, she would definitely get wet when she got on the boat. If it was brought up by herself, it would be really not elegant.

She had no choice but to turn her head to look at Yang Xiao, only to see that he had already bent down and helped her lift it up very naturally, as if he didn't realize what he had done.

The people on the painting boat who had been waiting quietly were shocked when they saw this. They never expected that Yang Zuoshi, who was exuding arrogance from the bottom of his heart, would bend down to lift his skirt for a woman one day. They would never have dared to think about it in the past.As a result, they couldn't help raising Ding Minjun's status again, and without Hongwu's reminder, they had vaguely treated her as Mrs. Zuo Shi.

On the other hand, seeing that she didn't move, Yang Xiao slightly raised his eyebrows, as if asking why she didn't leave?

Ding Minjun turned her head quickly, and carefully stepped onto the boat holding the front of her hand. The bright lights on the boat reflected a layer of blush on her cheeks.After putting down the hem of the skirt, she raised her hand and rubbed her hot earlobe, feeling a secret sweetness rising from the bottom of her heart.

With a firework exploding in the sky and the sound of gongs and drums, the painting boat docked at the back door of Lingyin Pavilion finally sailed out of the narrow river channel and merged into the branch of the main canal.

Dozens of painting boats were parked in twos and threes on the broad river at this time, and the top players on the boats who were selected to swim the lake tonight had already tried their best and competed for splendor.Some of them heard the sound of silk and bamboo from afar, some invited literati to board the boat to recite poems, and some even danced gracefully.

After getting on the boat, Yang Xiao found an elegant seat to drink by himself. He sat casually leaning against the carved window lattice, looking like a romantic and wild man, but his long and narrow eyes stared at the near-distant place without blinking. There is a woman in a costume who is almost lying on the side of the boat rail, with a smile unconsciously on the corner of her mouth, which makes people fall in love with each other.

Ding Minjun rested his hands on the railing of the boat, and watched from a distance a painting boat sailing straight towards this side.The second floor of the painting boat was transformed into an open-air platform, on which a dragon-carved drum almost as big as the platform was installed. A woman in a red dance dress was waving her long water sleeves, her bare feet resting lightly on the drum surface. dance.

The sound of the drums became more and more intense, and many of the surrounding painting boats gradually approached, and as the woman spun and jumped, exclamations came from time to time.

Ding Minjun watched it with great novelty, and from time to time, he also applauded and praised along with the crowd.

However, at this moment, something happened suddenly. When the woman jumped up and fell again, she didn't find a good foothold, and her foot missed, and she fell straight down.

The painting boat was already two stories high, plus the height of the big drum, if it fell to the ground, it would definitely result in either death or injury.

The exclamation of the surroundings has turned into an exclamation. Seeing that a catastrophe is about to happen, a piece of water-red gauze with a golden bell on it flew from the sky, wrapped around the woman's waist, and stopped her falling trend.

Ding Minjun threw the golden bell rope from his sleeve at the moment the woman fell, then tapped his toes and flew up, flipped his wrist, and wrapped around the woman's waist while retracting the golden bell rope, the two of them spun and landed together. On the drum surface, there was a thick and long-lasting muffled sound of "dong".

Everyone felt their eyes dazzled, and saw a beautiful figure descending from the sky, with layers of skirts spread out like flower buds, wide and wide sleeves fluttering in the wind, black hair hanging down to the bend of the legs like a waterfall, chiseled on both sides of the hair The steps were shaking and making a sound, and it suddenly seemed that the Nine Heavens Xuannv had descended to the earth, and she was dazed for a moment, not daring to move.

Ding Minjun's back was trembling from their staring eyes, and he thought to himself that perhaps his qinggong was erratic, and now the lights were flickering, these people thought she was a ghost, so they showed such a look, right?

Thinking of this, he didn't want to stay here any longer, and was about to leave with a wave of his sleeves, but his hem tightened and he was stopped by someone.

She looked down, and saw the woman she had rescued just now was kneeling on the drum, her legs were limp, but she was holding onto her skirt tightly, looking at her eagerly with a pair of almond eyes, as if she was about to say something. But he didn't know what to think of, the light in his eyes gradually dimmed, he let go of his hand in a slump, and bowed down to thank: "Thank you for saving my life."

Ding Minjun thought strangely in his heart, but he didn't investigate further, he took a step back to avoid her big gift, and without looking back, he carried his lightness kung fu and stepped on the water to return to the painting boat of Lingyin Pavilion.

There were bursts of exclamations from behind, and she didn't bother to pay attention to it, but picked up the hem of the drenched skirt with some annoyance and looked at it.

After such an encounter, she lost the interest to continue swimming in the lake, so she said to Yang Xiao who got up and walked towards her: "It's getting late, should we go back?"

Yang Xiao nodded and said to her: "Don't worry about it." He took her hand and walked into the pavilion of the cabin with her.
