Chapter 66 fourth quarter

When he was making three rounds outside the Lingxing Gate, the official was sitting in the jade jurisdiction, separated by a bead curtain. With his lover's unique vision, he found Shishi and the guarding Shishi three times in the sea of ​​thousands of people. Liu Kai and Ma Kuo. The official who thought he had a personal monopoly on Shi Shi, sitting in the jade bed, saw Shi Shi for the first time looking more radiant than usual today, and couldn't help but feel the vanity that a lover with that kind of privilege can't avoid.He is proud of Shishi's outstanding beauty. "Today, half of the women in the city of Tokyo have poured out of the city, and they have all come here. Let's see who is as beautiful as her, and stands out from the world? I recognized her at a glance in the crowd of thousands of people, so I know her She really deserves to be a top performer!" The official thought proudly, "I was lucky to invite her that day, and she happily agreed to come out to support me. Otherwise, would it be a lack of honor to lose one of her today?"

In the celebration of the victory, one teacher was missing, that is, "Qiandian", and the officials were even more proud when they came up with this pun. The officials also noticed that Liu Kai and Ma Kuo were with her.When she invited Shishi that day, she had explained that she had made an appointment with Liu Kai and Ma Kuo last year, and they might come to fulfill the appointment, and advised the officials not to send palace chariots to take care of her.Since Shi Shi said so, and his attitude is very bright and handsome, the officials don't feel any reason to doubt it. When the 鹁鹆 was making the second maneuver, the official still fixed his stubborn gaze on the place where Shi Shi was stationed, through the crowd of thousands of heads.He found that apart from her usual "peerless appearance and extraordinary appearance", there was something new and inexplicable in her today.Shishi seems to have an endless mine, and he can always dig out new treasures from her mine.Later, he summarized this unknown novelty into a question: "What makes Shi Shi look so radiant and hot today?" This question was brewing in his mind for a while, and quickly developed into a Big question mark.An unresolved question mark in my heart is like a ball of leavened flour in a quilt, and it will expand exponentially in an instant.

But when I saw her for the third time, the question mark was resolved.He discovered that the reason why Shi Shi looked so radiant and hot today was that she was wearing a scarlet dress.Although the official's vision is very sensitive, his senses are quite dull.Shishi was wearing a scarlet dress, which was obvious at first glance, but he didn't realize it until he saw her for the third time.Maybe he was thinking too much, and instead ignored the things in front of him. People often have this kind of illusion of "seeking far from the near and far" and "seeing the details without seeing the truth" when they are too focused on things.

But this new discovery was indeed very important, and it surprised and delighted him. It turns out that there is a historical origin here.One year when the apricot blossoms were in full bloom, he saw the faces of the "apricot" flower people turning red in the drunken apricot building, and he couldn't help but say something more, saying: "The apricot blossoms are in full bloom, and they are so delicate and charming. If you are my master, you will also wear this scarlet dress and compete with the apricot blossoms. I don't know how to be 'intoxicated with the east wind'!"

If this sentence wants to please the teacher, it obviously did not achieve the goal, but produced the opposite effect.She never liked other people's will imposed on her. "This suitcase is full of clothes," Shishi replied casually, pointing to the box in the middle, "There are red and green, you can wear whatever you like, what is it worth to be 'intoxicated with the east wind'?" This answer displeased the officials. Since I said this sentence, there have been several times when the flowers bloomed and withered, the ground was full of red, and the branches were full of green seeds. The officials have never forgotten this conversation, but they dare not mention it again.After all, Shi Shi never wore scarlet clothes once.In any case, he didn't expect that Shi Shi would change into this skirt today, let alone that it would have such an amazing effect when worn on her body.No wonder this double accident made him ecstatic.

However, today, with hundreds of thousands of spectators, she abandoned the palace chariot he had carefully prepared for her, just dressed in a gorgeous dress, rode a particularly dazzling rouge horse, and ran here without any hindrance. It seems that she intends to show off her beauty among the crowd, which is no surprise to others, but on Shishi... This is too different from her usual behavior, what is the meaning behind it? As soon as the old questions were solved, new questions arose quickly. When Yuren pushed into the Lingxing gate and turned to the water hall, the official's heart was full of fermented flour again.

But this new question has also been answered to my own satisfaction. He suddenly remembered that when Shi Shi was stationed at the gate of Lingxing Gate just now, he unfolded the folding fan he gave him and slapped it lightly a few times.Thinking of this small but important action immediately made him feel at ease again. "Could it be that she thought that when she came here today, every word, every move, every frown, every smile, the lightness of a hairpin, or the slightness of a fan, could not escape my eyes and ears, so she wore this scarlet shirt that I have been longing for for a long time, Wearing the fan specially given by me, on this day of great joy, congratulating each other from a distance, makes me happy in my heart?" The act of gifting the fan was a masterpiece of the official family, and the teacher did not hesitate at that time He accepted his gift without hesitation, which must have impressed the officials very deeply.In addition, today itself is a celebratory program, so he always thinks about the good, and the conclusions he draws are always very optimistic.He also said kindly to himself:

"Teacher, teacher! You have a heart of wisdom, and your intentions are so considerate and thoughtful. It really deserves the painstaking care I have given you over the past ten years." At the Deshui Palace, various ceremonies will be held, the princes will congratulate their father on the victory, and he himself will deliberately concoct a Northern Song version of Anlu Mountain, which distracts him temporarily.After all this passed in a hurry, he couldn't help but cast his eyes to the color shed occupied by Shishi.This canopy was chosen by him personally, and there was no distance from the throne, so he could find it without any difficulty.Now people's eyes are all focused on him, and as his eyes shifted, they focused on Shi Shi.A bead curtain covering him and a light veil covering Shi Shi could not block the thousands of eyes of the audience.People chattered about her, which made him a little wary.But he found that Shi Shi didn't care about it, she was still so happy, and she was still so high-spirited.She closed the folding fan in her hand for a while, and opened it again for a while, both of which were unconscious.She was talking in Jinghong's ears for a while, and then turned her head to talk to Liu Kai and Ma Kuo. Her movements were so fast that when her head and neck were turned left and right, a pair of pearl earrings seemed to be playing with children. "Shake Gudong" and sway like that.

Liu Kai is a close minister trusted by the officials, and Liu Kai is a very important person in the eyes of the officials. Ma Kuo just came back from Yanshan, and he seems to be the embodiment of Yanshan Mansion.The officials knew that Shishi had met Ma Kuo last year, and they must have taken the opportunity to ask them about the recovery of Yanshan by letting the two of them accompany them today.Although this is not in line with her usual moody and troubled temper, it is in harmony with the atmosphere here and now.Shishi has always been willful, and sometimes he tightly controls her (using a kind of mental pressure to control her), and in order to show her independence, she will act wildly like a poor horse.He has rescued this temper several times.After all, today she is concerned about the major event of recovering Yanshan.And the credit for regaining Yanshan should generally be credited to his own account.She inquired about it with interest, with no other purpose than to please him.Therefore, Shi Shi's abnormal performance did not arouse his other thoughts.

But there is an inexplicable reason that makes the officials willing to risk the gossip of hundreds of thousands of people, and can't help but turn their heads in the direction of Shishi every moment. The unexplainable reason may be that he was vaguely aware that in his relationship with Shishi, he had some kind of memory of Liu Qi.Although several years later, Liu Kai had already changed his opinion with his own prudent actions, but that faint impression has not been completely erased from his memory, and Liu Kai made him feel unexpectedly That kind of weight seemed to form a kind of pressure on him at the moment.

When the dragon boat slowly sailed out of the Okuya, attracting the attention of the audience, Shishi looked at the dragon boat anxiously like all the audience, hoping that it would reach the finish line soon.At that time, the official family had already passed the Jinbu Barrier on the Cross Island, and moved from the Water Hall to a square hall near the direction of Shishi among the five halls and sat down.This is a very imprudent move, because whether it is according to the old practice, or to choose the most prominent place to watch the race, there is no reason for the officials to sit on this side hall.But the fermented flour has been mixed with a little acid. At this time, his attention to Shishi has far exceeded his interest in the race, far more than his wariness of the audience, and he no longer cares about these irrelevant details. This square hall is closer to Shishi's colorful shed, and he can see it more clearly.From Shishi's expression, he could see that she was as anxious as everyone else in the audience, which was understandable.This dragon boat is also a big toy. It looks gigantic and magnificent, but it can't drive by itself, so it has to rely on the guides on the shore.The itinerary is very slow, and it takes half a day to walk a section of the road.The idea of ​​arranging this traditional program is probably to use the slow speed of this dragon boat to set off the high speed of the tiger-head boat that stops for a while.Officials who don't stick to established rules think in their hearts that this method is inappropriate. Reform must be done next year, and it will be anchored at the end in advance to save everyone from waiting. The official's idea was not that he wanted the race to be held sooner, but that he hoped that the tense scene of the race could quickly attract all of Shi Shi's attention. However, the dragon boat was still traveling at a bull pace, and a serious problem occurred at this time. Guanjia sensed that she had noticed his stubborn gaze on her.Twice, she looked up to see where he was leaning on the railing.But the next time, when his sight was about to catch hers, she quickly avoided it.She withdrew her gaze, turned her head to talk to Liu Kai, opened the folding fan and fanned it vigorously a few times, as if impatiently trying to push away the stubborn gaze that held her too tightly. .They were very important, and he felt they were the involuntary signals of an unstable lover fleeing, retreating from his grasp.This surprised and puzzled him, and brought up again the question of whom the scarlet dress was for, which had already been settled in his mind.This time the question was raised with a biased prejudice, so it was particularly serious. Needless to say, Liu Kai is the first suspect, but this suspicion is not difficult to prove.According to the officials' thinking, Liu Kai is a soldier, and he once proposed a plan to rectify the Tiger Wing Army, and at one time someone advocated that Liu Kai be in charge of the Tiger Wing Army.Liu Kai is undoubtedly a supporter and sympathizer of the Tiger Wings, and he himself, no matter what, is generally recognized as the backer of the Long Xiang team.As long as he figured out which team Shishi sympathized with and supported in the two teams' match, he could see her tendency, and he could also judge who she was wearing this skirt for today? The official's guess was off by a tiny bit, a thousand miles away.Shi Shi is indeed a little mentally abnormal, this time it was caused by the unlucky "Listening to the Zheng Picture". She did support the Tiger Wings, but it was not because of Liu Kai.950,000 out of 1,000,000 people in Tokyo are inclined towards the Tiger Wings. Shi Shi is the daughter of Wang Yin, a dyer. It may not be connected with the public, and it is closely related.There's no way she wasn't rooting for the Tigerwings.The close relationship between the official and her personal cannot change her fundamental position.Officials seem to have never thought about this question, why the competition team organized in the name of his court is so unpopular, and he himself is willing to use his supreme name to let it use, support, and favor it, so that he also Become the object of condemnation by the people?This is a question that fools may occasionally have to think about, but wise people who are particularly confident in themselves often don't think about it.
