Heiankyo love story

Chapter 65 The House of Two

Jiang Xue slowly found a red and black double-wrapped train and put it on, combed her hair carefully, put on a golden hairpin, and painted her eyebrows and lips.

Now that she knows that the arrival of God Son Bailong will inevitably produce a CG for the first encounter, Jiang Xue also wants to leave a beautiful CG—especially in the first few weeks she always played "the first encounter between the commoner girl and God Son Bailong". In the case of "this kind of CG!

This time, she must show that she is not a commoner from the strands of her hair to her heels, and leave a perfect CG of "The First Encounter between the Noble Princess and the White Dragon God Son"!

On such a non-yearly and non-festival day, it was rare for Jiang Xue to dress up. Fujiji was frightened, and after sending Jiang Xue to the door, she asked cautiously, "Is sister Xue going to the palace to face the saint?"

Jiang Xue smiled.

"That's not it, I'm just preparing to meet an important person."

Fujihime's complexion became very strange in an instant, and he said after a while, "Sister Xue is going to see Master Ma Cang?"

"Oh, yes."

Jiang Xue invited Ma Cang Yewang to watch the arrival of the White Dragon God Son with the mentality of "a miracle should be shared". When she heard Fujiji's question, she gave an affirmative answer without hesitation. When she saw Fujiji's face, she became more and more strange , shyness and struggle intertwined, she suddenly understood what Fujiki was thinking, suddenly laughed, stepped forward to hug Fujiki and stroked her hair.

"My lovely Fujihime, what are you thinking about? The one I'm going to meet——is Hime-kun who is closely related to us."

Fujiji suddenly realized, and tightly grasped Jiang Xue's hand, her voice trembling.

"Yes, is it the Son of the Dragon God? Elder Sister Xue... Has Elder Sister Xue already predicted the exact time and place when the Son of the Dragon God will appear?"

Jiang Xue cheekily accepted the praise of "divination", and said with a smile: "Yes. Fujiji is waiting for me at home, and I will bring the Son of God back."

Fujihime wept with joy, wiped away tears helplessly, and tried to smile.

"Okay, okay! I will... wait with great anticipation... for the return of Sister Xue and Shenzi."

Fujihime's appearance was so cute that Jiang Xue couldn't help but leaned up and kissed the corner of her eyes.

"I am leaving."

Fujihime blushed and nodded.

Minamoto Raijiu stood in front of the bullock cart and waited, and opened the curtain when he saw Jiang Xue going out.

Jiang Xue jumped into the bullock cart lightly, waved to Fujiji at last, and lowered the curtain.

"Laijiu, let's go to Asakang Mansion."

"Yes."

Minamoto Yorihisa drove the bullock cart slowly towards Tsuchimikado.

Ma Cang Ye Wang had already predicted that Jiang Xue would come to visit today, and when the ox cart stopped outside the Ma Cang mansion, the gate opened silently.

Minamoto Raiku was taken aback, although he didn't scream, but the way he subconsciously took a step back and pulled out his knife to be on guard revealed his true mood.

That's almost equivalent to shouting "there are monsters", right?

Jiang Xue did not expect to see such an expression from the taciturn Yuan Laijiu. In order not to embarrass him, she suppressed a smile and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Ma Cang just opened the door to welcome the guests when he knew the guests were coming."

Minamoto Raiku put away the knife, frowned and said seriously: "Onmyoji... are all like this?"

"That's not clear. After all, I haven't seen many onmyojis before."

Jiang Xue thought for a while, the door of Abe Seimei's house opened and closed when no one was around, and if someone entered without knowing what to do, they would probably be trapped in the maze to death. She didn't come to Makang Yewang's house much, but Every time he looked like he knew someone was coming, either standing at the door or answering when someone knocked on the door.

Knowing divination is just dragging?

"Today I'll be bothering you at Asakang-kun's house for a while, so Laijiu can come in too."

Minamoto Yorihisa was going to stay outside the door, but he nodded when he heard this sentence, drove the ox cart forward for some distance, walked silently to the courtyard of the Asakang Mansion and stood there, not continuing to approach.

Jiang Xue had already walked through the yard and walked inside under the call of King Ma Cang Ye.

King Ma Cang Ye turned his head to look in the direction of the door after hearing the noise outside, and said with a smile, "Xue Ji's retainers are not ordinary people."

Jiang Xue was taken aback for a moment, then raised her eyebrows with a smile.

"The word 'also'...is it compared with Ma Cang-kun himself, or with me?"

King Ma Cang Ye couldn't help laughing.

"Compared to 'ordinary people'."

Jiang Xue was directly amused by this answer.

"You know that's not what I'm talking about—forget it, don't be fooled, does Asakang-kun think there is anything unusual about Lai Jiu?"

King Ma Cang Ye tapped his hand lightly with a folding fan, and replied: "That warrior has a strong wood energy in his body, and he can use the power of 'wind' within a certain limit, which fits the hexagram 'Xun' in the gossip. It's rare."

"Xunmu?" Jiang Xue repeated, half-understood, "Gossip... This is more troublesome than Yin-Yang and Five Elements. I can only remember the name of the Gossip, and those calculations..."

For those derivative calculations, as long as the calculation formula is worked out, Jiang Xue will directly kneel down.

The conceited and intelligent Jiang Xue coughed in embarrassment, refusing to admit that her short legs in mathematics could still involve her in this regard.

King Ma Cang Ye couldn't help laughing out loud when he heard these voices, and he kindly rounded up the situation, saying: "It's already very remarkable for Xue Ji to know Yin-Yang, Five Elements and Eight Diagrams. If you want to know the mysteries of it, there are not many people in the past and present." can do it."

"Those who can do it must be the masters of the generation—" Jiang Xue came along, "The Emperor Fuxi observes the river map and understands the gossip. , it is called Fuxi Xiantian gossip, and Yin Shang Jichang deduced the gossip, and explained the gossip of King Wen with "from the south to the north, and the east to the west". Among the hundreds of schools, Taoism, Confucianism, yin and yang, and art of war, which master is not the best?"

King Ma Cang Ye was quite surprised.

"These things...how did Xue Ji know?"

Jiang Xue replied without hesitation: "Seeing and hearing is nothing more than that. Taoism is hidden from the world, but geniuses come forth in large numbers. Zou Yan used the five elements to explain the Yin-Yang family, Guigu is broad but not expert, and Li Tong, Prime Minister of the Qin Dynasty, was successful in Confucianism and prominent in Confucianism. Zhang Zifang, who seeks sage Zhang Zifang, has learned Taoism and Confucianism, and is proficient in the art of war. All these people must study the "Yi" deeply, and he must use hexagrams every time there is a major event. The hexagrams will scare ghosts and gods and steal the sky."

Jiang Xue couldn't help shrinking her neck at the end, she still felt the sound of thunder in her ears, and her heart was lingering.

Zhang Liang's hexagram that time directly attracted Tianlei, and a thunderbolt fell in front of her. She was so frightened that she almost knelt down while holding the bamboo slips. However, when others looked at her, they thought she was very calm, and they all praised her for being a general afterward.

——Thinking about these things makes my face bloody.

King Macang Ye frowned and thought for a moment, then said doubtfully, "What Xue Ji said doesn't seem like she saw it from a book, but rather like seeing it with her own eyes."

Jiang Xue thumped in her heart, and quickly recalled the age distance from the Spring and Autumn and the Warring States to the Tang Dynasty. Roughly, it was thousands of years. , how many inheritances are broken.She could only smile, and pretended to be relaxed and said: "Of course I read from the book, I was born in the Tang Dynasty, how can I meet people who lived thousands of years ago? Thank God."

Just at this time, the two also walked to the inner courtyard.

King Ma Cang Ye didn't dwell on this topic, politely invited Jiang Xue to take a seat, went to the door to take the tea set from the envoy, and served Jiang Xue a cup of tea.

"This is the tea that Xue Ji gave me before, and now I can treat Xue Ji."

"Thank you."

Jiang Xue picked up her teacup and took a sip, looking at the white-clothed waiter walking past in the corridor, she suddenly felt a little strange.

"Speaking of which, it's a bit strange..."

Jiang Xue recalled that after walking into Ye Wang's house in Macang, she saw almost no one along the way. Although she also saw a few waiters sweeping the floor and pruning trees, she always felt that something was wrong.After sitting down in the room, the feeling of something wrong became even more obvious. The room was cleaned very clean, and there was no filth, and it was very clean. If it is said that the homes of Onmyoji are like this, but I always feel that I am with Abe Seimei’s family. It's much deserted than here, lacking life, even—it doesn't even look like a place where people live.

Jiang Xue couldn't help but speak out.

"Ma Cang-kun's house...seems deserted? Does Ma Cang-kun live alone?"

Ma Cangye Wang was slightly taken aback, lowered his eyes, and nodded with a light smile.

"Yeah, it's just me."

If you have already married a wife, when she and Fujihime came to visit before, the hostess must show up.I don't have a wife, and I don't have other family members living with me. I always feel that if I ask this question, it will make people unhappy.

Jiang Xue let out a "huh" and fell silent in embarrassment.

King Ma Cang Ye smiled, took the initiative to take up the topic, and raised his finger to the waiter who was pruning flowers and trees in the courtyard outside.

"Does Xue Ji feel that 'he' looks strange, not like a living person?"

Jiang Xue was trembling all over, her first reaction was "Is there a ghost?!", and then she realized why she always felt something was wrong.

It is precisely because of the reason Ma Cang Yewang said - not like a living person, not angry.

No matter how taciturn a person is, he will always make some very slight sounds unconsciously, for example, when Yuan Laijiu was driving her car, she could feel someone outside the car curtain, the sound of breathing, movement, clothes rubbing, etc. It makes people feel their presence.

However, all the waiters who appeared in the Asakang house worked in the same expressionless and silent manner, without making any sound, not even the sound of footsteps when walking.

Not a living waiter, a lifeless courtyard, and thinking about the occupation of the person in front of him, Jiang Xue suddenly realized.

"Is that a shikigami? Could it be, all of them—"

Ma Cang Yewang nodded with a smile.

"Yes, all the waiters in the house are Shikigami."

"Then how boring are you?" Jiang Xue blurted out, and felt inappropriate after finishing speaking, and quickly added, "I mean, it's all Shikigami's words, and you don't even have anyone to talk to, which is really...too Alone?"

King Ma Cang Ye shook his head with a smile, and said meaningfully: "That's good."

Jiang Xue was made dizzy by the other party's indifferent appearance, pressed the coffee table and said: "What's the matter--! Alone, no one to talk to, no one to listen to, in case of illness, even a comforter No one—”

"Xue Ji will come."

King Ma Cang Ye suddenly interrupted Jiang Xue with a smile.

Didn't she plan to wait for him to come with medicine three times a day when he was sick and injured?

Jiang Xue nodded subconsciously, and replied crisply: "Yes."

After she finished speaking, she was speechless.

She just said that she has no one to comfort her when she is sick, so she admits that she will come over when the time comes—oh, this slap in the face is really fast.

King Ma Cang Ye looked at Jiang Xue with a smile and sighed softly.

"If there are people, it will be very noisy."

"Well, occasionally it will be noisy..." Jiang Xue thought of the Fujiwara house, it would indeed be noisy if there were too many maids.However, it's usually fine.

Huh?Thinking about it carefully, could it be because King Ma Cang Ye is too poor to hire people and is unwilling to speak out?After all, no one likes to yell at others that they are short of money.Thinking about it this way, the profession of Onmyoji is quite good. It is really practical to be able to change a few shikigami without money to hire someone.

Or next time, ask Mrs. Lunzi if she can send a few people to King Ma Cangye, anyway, there are so many servants in the Fujiwara family.

Jiang Xue thought she understood, so she didn't poke the painful foot of a man who has no money, and said instead: "If I come here often, will Ma Cang-jun feel noisy?"

King Ma Cang Ye couldn't laugh or cry at Jiang Xue's "considerateness". Although Yin Yang is practical, he didn't invent shikigami just to save money.He opened his folding fan to cover his face, suppressed a smile and said, "The door of Ma Cang's house is always open for Xue Ji."

Jiang Xue raised her eyebrows, smiled cunningly with her chin in her hand, and repeated, "Anytime?"

Ma Cang Yewang nodded with a light smile.

"at any time."

Immediately, Jiang Xue thought a lot of thoughts like "bringing the monkey to scare him to death in the middle of the night", and responded happily with a smile on his face: "That's really great!"
