Legend of the Demon Emperor of Kyushu

Chapter 39 Tang Wandie (5)

One-year-old addition to the sound of firecrackers.

Since the day when they painted the building, Ye Ziqi and Gu Feng returned to the barracks early to prevent accidents from happening; "The villain with the word "tie it up, and the life is considered peaceful.

In the past six days, the New Year has come.

On New Year's Eve, the maid Xiaomei dressed up Tang Wandie carefully in her boudoir. Although she didn't go out, Tang Wandie still wore a neat green dress today because she was going to meet many guests soon.

"Tsk tsk, Miss is so beautiful, those gentlemen must be reluctant to leave tonight." After Xiaomei took care of her, she looked around Tang Wandie carefully, and praised her.

"Smelly girl, do you really hope that my master will marry me as soon as possible?" Tang Wandie twisted Xiaomei's face and said.

"Don't dare, dare not." Xiaomei hurriedly begged for mercy, so Tang Wandie let go of her hand, but Xiaomei said in a low voice: "Yes."

"What?" Tang Wandie was taken aback.

"If Miss gets married, she will stay in the city." Xiaomei said in a low voice.

Tang Wandie sighed when she heard the words, and stroked Xiaomei's hair, feeling mixed emotions in her heart.

The residents of Hanye City have always regarded the Spring Festival as the most important festival of the year. Even now that horse thieves are rampant, their enthusiasm for celebrating the New Year has not diminished in the slightest.

According to the custom of cold leaves, a "lantern festival" will be held in the city on New Year's Eve. The common people will go to the streets with their families to have fun;

On this day, the nagging of the old people will not be bored, and the children will gather around the knees of the two old people and listen to the old people's memories of the past friendship and glory of the two families.

Young men and women are looking forward to this day even more—the unmarried men will be brought out by the elders in the family to visit the houses of the major families they have made friends with, and the unmarried women will wear the most beautiful and decent clothes to help the elders receive the distinguished guests. .

Because the real meaning of these visits is to provide these noble young men and women with an opportunity to get acquainted with each other.Once the two parties are interested, after a few days, the man will send a matchmaking appointment, and a golden and jade marriage will be achieved.This is of great significance for wealthy families to consolidate their status through intermarriage.

This is why Xiaomei carefully dressed Tang Wandie, she hoped that the lady would find a good husband.

But Tang Wandie didn't take it seriously.

To put it simply, Tang Wandie looked down on these noble young people who were going to visit at home tonight.

The reason is that although these Wangcheng youths are already the first-class rich and noble children in the country, Tang Wandie is a disciple of Hanshan. When they practiced in the Yuanyi School, the disciples made friends and discussed, and they all looked at the world of Kyushu.After all, the State of Ju is only a small country in Leizhou, and it is located at the forefront of the conflict between the Song Dynasty and the people of Ganzhou. She is very reluctant to let her marry a husband and live in such a dangerous place.

More importantly, according to Tang Wandie's understanding of the current affairs in Kyushu, in the coming era of chaos, only strong force is the foundation of security.

And my father is an official of the Weaving and Dyeing Department of the Shaofu, and all the friends he made were civil servants. The dudes who are coming tonight and hang out with his brother Tang Zhao all day long can only sing beautiful words, but they can't ride horses. Carrying a gun, the only capital is the accumulation of property in the family, but these will be scattered in troubled times.

But Tang Wandie herself is a sixth-grade Daoist, but an enchanter who mainly uses auxiliary spells. What she needs is a man with high martial arts skills who can protect her close by, so that she can feel safe.These are rare for the young people who came to visit the mansion tonight.

But no matter what she thought, it was of no use in the end.For women, there is one thing in the world that is more important than all truths——

Parents' life.

Just like the servant girl Xiaomei, her parents and elders have already worked hard at this time, and they want to use the New Year's Eve to point her to an in-law and marry her, so that she can stay in Hanye City forever.

Even though Tang Wandie's vision can look forward to the land of Kyushu, for the people in the family, the most important role of a daughter is to marry a good husband who can repay the family.

If Tang Wandie married out of Hanye City, the rewards she could bring to the family would be sky high and the road far away, insignificant, far inferior to marrying a high-ranking nobleman in the city.

In her daughter, who is beautiful and moral, the family has placed high hopes on her marriage.

Her father, Tang Sizhou, even said clearly that if she didn't find someone to marry in Hanye City, she would never be allowed to go back to Hanshan to practice Taoism!
"Miss, you messed up all my hair." Xiaomei said in a crying voice.

Tang Wandie woke up suddenly. When she was distracted, she kept fiddling with Xiaomei's hair, and it turned into a big chicken coop for her.

"Hey, it's okay, there's still time, sister, I'll comb your hair." Tang Wandie smiled.

The two girls were playing around, and suddenly a person appeared from outside the door, it was the young master Tang Zhao, and shouted at them: "Second sister, what are you waiting for? Go to the front hall, the prince of the palace is here!"

Tang Wandie agreed, and walked to the front hall with Xiaomei to help her mother clean up the reception.After sending off Mr. Wang, Mr. Li and Mr. Sun came again... There were an endless stream of guests, and the mother excitedly grabbed Tang Wandie's little hand and muttered:
"Mother, it seems that the prince is really interested in you. Mr. Li is more stable, but his eyes are always looking at you... The grandfather of the palace is that Situ, and the grandfather of the Li residence is Sikou..."

Tang Wandie managed to cope with a few words, but felt very impatient in her heart.After finally finding a free time, he came out with an excuse, hid by the garden pond in the mansion, and took a few deep breaths.

At this time, outside the mansion wall, there were noisy and frolicking sounds from afar, firecrackers flew over the wall, and under the black sky, colorful flames burst out from time to time.Tang Wandie couldn't help feeling envious, thinking of the bustling lights outside, she didn't know what it was like!

She gently sat down by the pond, looked up at the stars in the night sky, and couldn't help but think back to her childhood.

Once, when she was still young, she also liked sitting by this pond the most, looking up at the stars in the night sky and being dazed.

At that time, all kinds of legends about the stars and the moon were circling in her little head.She always believed that Chang'e lived in the moon palace, and one day, she would float out from under the shadowy sweet-scented osmanthus tree; and the bright stars must have been woven by Zhinu through her own tears because she missed the cowherd. The bead curtain was spread across the entire sky.

She really wanted to fly to the sky sometime, grab the corner of the bead curtain and shake it lightly, so that these bright and dazzling teardrops would fall one after another, pass through the clouds, and land in the small pond at her feet.

Tang Wandie gently stretched out her hand towards the sky.

She has grown up.

She has practiced hard on the cold mountain, and she has been able to walk on the water with smooth steps and blow the wind and the rain.

But why, still can't fly over the palace wall?

When will she be able to take off her own star?

In Tang Wandie's heart, a warning sign suddenly rose!
Tang Wandie stood up silently, summoned the magic treasure white jade bottle from her hand, and walked towards the east of the pond.

Since Ye Ziqi and Gu Feng broke into the mansion that night, she has set up a barrier in the mansion by herself.

She can immediately find out the whereabouts of all the thieves who broke into the Tang mansion without the main entrance.

At this moment, danger came again.
