Chapter 143 Marriage Tree
Chapter 143 Marriage Tree
She came alone and stopped her escape light two miles away from the locust tree, revealing her ordinary appearance.
The weather was perfect at this time, and the summer sun shone from the shade of the trees onto my shoulders, creating a special kind of elegance. The air was hot and humid, and although Yu Fei did not notice it, she still felt that the heavy black and white skirt she was wearing was inappropriate.
It would feel stuffy even if worn in autumn, let alone in this hot summer.
She walked lightly, and as soon as she lifted her foot, the long skirt on her body began to change. After a few steps, it completely turned into a chest-length skirt with a top and a skirt. Her pink arms were covered by the white gauze, but the whiteness of her arms could still be seen in the shadows.
The white snake that had been hidden in the spirit beast bag was released. Its appearance had not changed much. It was still as small as before. Its pair of vertical pupils had completely turned purple. Its realm had reached the peak of the fourth level of Qi Refining.
As soon as Xiaobai came out of the spirit beast bag, he couldn't wait to snake up along Yu Fei's waist, coiled his slender body around her abdomen, and put his head obediently on the woman's shoulder.
He was lazily basking in the sun, without any sign of seeking warmth like in winter.
The forest was not very vast, and it didn't take long before we reached a lane. The entire road was just flattened dirt, with traces of wheel tracks and horse hooves all over it, indicating that people often passed by.
Walking along the fairly wide path, the huge old tree came into view in the distance. With full vision, one could see a figure swaying under the tree.
squeak squeak~
When Yu Fei had walked halfway, she heard the sound of wheels behind her, and she walked forward lightly without changing her pace. She sent out her mind and saw that it was made of qingtan wood, with an exquisite shape and rich patterns, which showed that it belonged to a wealthy family.
The coachman glanced at the graceful woman in front of him in confusion. Although there were many people walking to worship, there was no one wearing such exquisite clothes. He couldn't help but say to the carriage with interest: "Miss, there is a girl in front."
There was a slight noise coming from the carriage, and then a woman in a green dress opened the carriage door, and a woman in gorgeous clothes poked her head out. Her long hair was in a bun, decorated with colorful gems. A gold and jade hairpin swayed slightly with her movements.
It makes his face look particularly luxurious.
The woman looked him up and down. Although she only saw his back, she knew he must be very beautiful with his graceful figure. It would be nice to make friends with him, so she said, "Xiao Wu, stand next to that person. Qing'er, go and ask her if she is willing to go with us."
The groom and the maid nodded when they heard this.
Hearing the wheel tracks getting closer, Yu Fei slightly moved aside to make way for them to go first.
"This girl."
Yu Fei heard a clear girl's voice. She turned around and saw a pretty girl with a bun poking her head out from behind the curtain and blinking at her.
When she saw Concubine Yu's appearance, she quickly changed her words and said, "Sister, my young lady wants to go to the marriage tree. I wonder if you are going the same way? We can go together."
Listening to the crisp ding-dong sounds coming from the car, Yu Fei's calm mouth curled up slightly, and she nodded in response under the gazes of the two.
"Well, thank you, Miss."
"Oh, you're welcome."
Seeing that Concubine Yu had a gentle and virtuous temperament, and behaved elegantly like a person from a wealthy family, Qing'er unconsciously lifted the curtain for her and looked at her with curiosity as she bent over and entered the carriage.
The woman who was leaning on the waist cushion saw Yu Fei walk in, and couldn't help but be shocked by her temperament, and hurriedly straightened her sitting posture. When she saw her ordinary appearance, her eyes were suddenly filled with pity.
"Sister, please take a seat."
The red pendant on the woman's body jingled, and she raised her hand to lead Yu Fei to her front. "Sister, I think I'm good at judging people, but looking at your appearance, I really don't know how old you are."
Hearing this, Concubine Yu looked at the woman in front of her and said softly, "I am now twenty-eight years old."
When she heard this number, she couldn't keep the smile on her face and showed a look of surprise.
"So it's my sister. No wonder she looks so virtuous."
She looked up and down at the mature figure of the woman in front of her, her eyes full of envy. When her eyes glanced at her shoulders, a pair of deep purple vertical pupils were looking at her coldly. She blinked immediately, wondering if she had seen it wrong.
After taking a closer look, he let out a cry of surprise.
"what!!"
The driver, who was driving the carriage at ease, pulled the reins because of the scream, causing the two tall horses to neigh.
"what happened?"
"What happened, young lady?" Qing'er leaned over and hurriedly held onto the wooden wall of the cart, looking in astonishment at her panic-stricken master.
The woman raised her trembling hand and pointed at Yu Fei's shoulder.
"Snake, there's a snake!"
snake? !
The maid Qing'er was so frightened when she heard this that she trembled and couldn't help but want to shrink into the corner.
Yu Fei's expression did not change. Seeing the two girls, she raised her hand and led Xiaobai to her palm. A small white jade-like snake lay on the palm with its upper body and the rest of its body coiled across the arm.
"Don't panic. This is the white snake I have raised for many years."
The coachman who lifted the curtain of the carriage looked at the hostess, then looked at the white snake in Yu Fei's palm. He didn't know what to do. In his heart, he was not too afraid of the slender white snake.
After a moment's pause, the woman calmed down and waved to the driver to get out. She raised her hand to straighten Zhu Pei who had been knocked crooked, and said with a forced smile: "Sister's hobby is quite unique."
But deep down, I secretly understood that this hobby was somewhat hard to accept. No wonder this sister had no one to accompany her at her age. It seemed that she would never get married.
As soon as Yu Fei thought about it, the white snake swam back to her waist reluctantly, and disappeared through the gap in her skirt.
Seeing that the snake had disappeared, the two women's expressions and movements were no longer as stiff as before.
The woman raised her hand to push her hair behind her ears, and the jade bracelet on her wrist jingled. "My name is Xiangjun, what's your name, sister?"
"Just call me Yu Fei."
Concubine Yu?
After thinking about it for a while, he realized that there was no family with the surname Yu near his family. And when he mentioned Xiangjun's name, she didn't react at all. It seemed that this Yu Fei must have come from afar.
"Sister, are you looking for a marriage tree to find a partner?"
Do ordinary people call that centuries-old locust tree a marriage tree? It is quite appropriate.
Concubine Yu shook her head.
"I'm going to pay tribute to a relationship."
......
Xiangjun looked at the woman in front of her with curiosity. She was really curious about the story she had. But after several inquiries, she got no response, so she had to suppress her curiosity in her stomach.
"Miss, here we are."
Xilulu~
Along with the neighing of horses, the voice of the groom came from outside.
"Sister, please go first."
Yu Fei nodded in thanks, then bent her body and walked out of the carriage.
Looking up at this time, I found an ancient locust tree not far away rustling in the wind. The branches were full of red silk and wooden signs, which set off the ancient tree with a fairy-like feeling.
The three girls walked towards the old tree together. From time to time, young men and women would come here, blushing and laughing as they walked away hand in hand.
There were also lonely people walking towards the ancient tree with their heads down, exuding a gloomy air.
