Tianjia

The next day, the flower arrangement appreciation party is about to start.

Gu Yun followed the female master in a beast cart to the foot of a high mountain on the outskirts of the Imperial City.

The address of the banquet on the invitation is located halfway up the mountain, where there is a private mountain courtyard.

For flower arrangement, it is natural to go to the wild to have a better feeling.

Because it is inconvenient for the animal carts to go up the mountain, they can only come down and walk. Fortunately, the built mountain plank road is very strong and spacious. There are green mountains and green waters on both sides, and the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant.

Gu Yun's injuries are still not healed, but because the medicine here is very powerful, even if he walks a little slower, it will not be a serious problem.

Here, you can see many plants and animals that have disappeared in history and only exist in books, which made him unable to bear to look a little more.

After all, in the place where they used to live, these animals and plants are not only priceless, but also have high scientific research value.

Xi glanced at the waiter beside him, and slowed down his pace even more to increase the time to enjoy the scenery along the way.

After a while, he was overtaken by visitors from behind.

Xi turned his head to look at it, and it turned out to be a familiar face, and soon the other party also took the initiative to come over and greet him warmly.

"Master Xi, I didn't expect you to come too. It's a coincidence that we met halfway." Lin Sili grinned obsequiously, and behind him were two males, tied with long chains and held in their hands.

Among them, the thinner male had a weight made of black iron hanging on his neck, which looked very heavy, and the male's neck was hanging down and he couldn't lift it up.

Lin Sili walked quickly to Xi's side, because the thin male behind him was a few steps behind, he frowned, and tugged on the chain hard.

Seeing the male scrambling to his feet, Lin Sili snorted coldly and let the disobedient male attendant go for now.

Xi nodded slightly to the registrar, and replied plainly and politely, it was regarded as a greeting.

Gu Yun had seen this female before, and after glancing at her, he calmly glanced at the other two males, both of whom seemed to be male attendants.

Lin Sili met Xi's gaze, and didn't dare to pay attention to Gu Yun's every move, but he still couldn't help taking a few sneak peeks from the corner of his eyes.

It is indeed rare to see a male slave who angered the female master on the day of promotion and was taken to the fighting arena to be executed. After all, they can survive until the promotion step, who would be so ignorant.

But after being taken to the arena, he was brought back intact... such a thing, he had never seen or heard of it.

The gossip spread among a group of young females who had just grown up, and everyone was discussing in private that the male slave was able to be promoted to the male servant so quickly, and he had the means to quickly please the female master, which showed that he was not an easy person.

When Lin Sili accidentally saw Xi and Gu Yun, he had already made up his mind. This time, he should seize the opportunity, chat more, and communicate with this precious female about the skills and experience of taming males.

When he thought of this, he was out of breath.

Lin Sili walked side by side with Xi, and deliberately found a topic, "Master Xi, the waiter next to you is still so obedient and obedient, not like this one in my family, just sweep the stars away!"

Xi casually nodded and accepted Gu Yun's compliment, but he was not at all interested in the performance of the male servant in the other's family.

Lin Sili thought that Xi would ask "why" so that he could continue complaining, but the other party remained silent, so he had no choice but to ease his embarrassment and said to himself, "It's really unlucky to say, I just promoted him to be a male servant not long ago, I made a big mistake at work and my salary was reduced."

"I don't know if it's against me. Anyway, bring it out today and burn some incense to try to get rid of some bad luck."

"Burning incense?" Xi raised his eyebrows and said, "It's to Qinglu Pagoda."

Lin Sili tugged at the two waiters again, and said, "Isn't this just on the way, as long as you turn around a little bit, you can see the tower."

"Although making a wish is to insert the incense into the stove in front of the pagoda, but to get rid of bad luck, you have to put it in the source of the bad luck. It just so happens that I, the male attendant, can always stick it in to participate in the flower arrangement banquet. When the burn is over, the bad luck will go away." gone."

Xi asked lightly, "Will it leave a scent mark on the mouth of the bottle, won't it affect the appearance evaluation?"

Lin Sili said cleverly, "That's why I specially brought two male attendants out, just in anticipation of using the other one to participate in the flower arrangement competition."

Xi didn't ask any more questions, and when he reached a fork in the road, he could see the tall tower with cigarettes curling from a distance.

He pulled the newly promoted male servant to his side, and asked in a low and melodious voice, "Would you like to visit and make a wish?"

Gu Yun has not yet understood what the two females were talking about just now, but he is not very interested in things like burning incense and worshiping Buddha.

Even though there seems to be no clear object of belief here, it is just to burn incense and pray for blessings according to some customs.

Gu Yun shook his head lightly, and replied honestly, "...I don't want to."

This surprised Lin Sili's two servants.

When encountering a question from the female master, the best answer is to obey the female master's wishes and just nod obediently.

If it is someone with more sophisticated means, at this time, you should reply meekly, "I will obey the female master and let the female master arrange it" or something like that.

Saying "no" in a daze like this... It takes a lot of courage and a desperate desire to do such a stupid thing!

What shocked the two male servants even more was that the noble female who made her own female master carefully please was not angry.

Xi was a little puzzled. He felt that Gu Yun didn't know the reputation of Qinglu Tower, so he explained, "I heard that it is very effective, and it will respond to requests."

Gu Yun thought for a while, but felt that there was nothing else he could ask for. After all, what he wanted to do could not be obtained by asking for it.

Xi frowned slightly, thinking to himself, don't all males like to come here to beg for cubs?

Could it be that seeing him here, I am embarrassed to go to offer incense.

Xi thought that this male waiter could come out alone another day, and let Ling or Jiu watch in the dark.

Seeing this, Lin Sili followed suit and gave an example, "It really works. I have an older friend who brought all the males in the family to burn incense. One month after he went back, he gave birth to a female cub!"

Gu Yun: "..."

So this is...begging for a cub?

Xi suddenly asked with great interest, "Have you ever burned the green furnace tower?"

Lin Sili nodded affirmatively, "This is the most famous place nearby. He didn't go anywhere, but came here alone, and he got his wish."

After finishing speaking, Lin Sili said with great insight, "Before he gave birth to several male cubs, and two of them were Yaxiong, they were almost dying of worry."

"It means that the male blood in the family is really bad. Sure enough, you have to carefully select some high-quality ones, otherwise you won't be able to let the females conceive female cubs..."

Xi nodded slightly and said, "We're still young, don't worry."

Females are not able to conceive all year round, only during the exciting period of each month, can they have the possibility of conceiving cubs together with males.

Therefore, it is possible to choose who the main female will let her have offspring first. As long as she favors her within a certain period of time, she can guarantee whose cub will be born first to a certain extent.

If some females don't want to have children for the time being, but have collected a bunch of males, they can just skip that period of time and enjoy it slowly.

Because their reproductive system is well-developed, they will not show any fatigue when they are pregnant. Only after a full month of pregnancy, on the day when they are about to give birth, their abdomen will start to bulge a little.

During the process of giving birth, females will become slightly weaker, and after the eggs land, they will recover quickly. During the whole process, they will basically not suffer too many adverse effects.

Lin Sili rubbed his hands, and said flatteringly, "Of course you don't need to be in a hurry, your male servant is so outstanding, the level of supplying the raw liquid must be very high, it is absolutely sure to hit!"

Xi smiled, noncommittal.

Gu Yun: "..."

Resisting the urge to touch his forehead, he thought that after returning, he would go to the study to make up for the local rules and customs, especially to see if there were any dialect encyclopedias and the like.

In order not to sometimes feel that the other party knows every word, but when combined, they always feel that something is not right.

After Lin Sili said a few more words, he looked at the time, and went to Qinglu Pagoda to get rid of bad luck, while Xi took the servant who was shy even to offer incense, and continued to go to the other courtyard on the mountainside.

When they arrived at the gate of the yard, there were already many females playing in it.

There is an emerald green bamboo forest in front of this place, and a clear pool with a waterfall behind.

Xi took the male attendant beside him and walked along the main road in the courtyard. The females around were all wearing luxurious clothes, and the males... Gu Yun probably wore the most clothes in the audience.

Just as Gu Yun followed the female master for a few steps, he saw a female with fiery red hair walking towards her as if she was burning.

"Welcome, welcome. It's the first time we've met. I've admired you for a long time." Yan smiled brightly, without the airs of the Red Spear Patriarch at all.

Xi returned a faint smile, and politely exchanged a few words with the other party, not at all... the embarrassment of a small businessman.

Yan specially arranged this flower arrangement banquet to represent the family and repair the relationship with Cheng Shuiqing.

Zhu Liu and Zhu Li are indeed the males of the Hongqiang family, but the family did not order them to attack Cheng Shuiqing's godson. This is definitely a misunderstanding!

The Hongqiang family is only loyal to Emperor Jia. Even if they send several males into the palace, they will have blood-related offspring, but this will not affect their family's status.

Yan led the banquet forward, and praised, "The vase you brought today is really elegant, it seems that you are here for the top prize."

Xi turned his head to look at the waiter beside him, chuckled lightly, and said, "I'm not going to arranging flowers, I'm just watching as a spectator."

Yan said in surprise, "How can I do it? It's more interesting to do this kind of activity by yourself. It's boring to watch other females play."

There was a bit of regret in his tone, "What's more, this vase of yours is so amazing, it would be too wasteful to display it without a thorny flower king."

It is a consensus that the more beautiful the vase, the more difficult the flower species should be.

Gu Yun: "..." He suddenly felt that those exotic flowers and plants that had been extinct in history were not so attractive anymore.

Xi couldn't help laughing, "He can't, at least not today."

Yan asked suspiciously, "Why, it hasn't been cleaned up yet, we have special servants who can help."

Xi shook his head lightly, but said with a smile, "Because I used it too much last night, it's still red and swollen. You can't even walk easily, and it's even harder to put it on display."

Yan Xin understood it, and couldn't help laughing, "You are still amazing! Then let's enjoy it today, and then help me to comment?"

Xi Ke politely agreed, took his male attendant in his arms naturally, and walked to the upper seat.

Gu Yun, who can't walk smoothly: "..."
