Chapter 9: Sky Clan Guest
Chapter 9
Waking up in the morning, Zhiyan decocted the nourishing medicine that Ming Yao had grabbed for him, warmed it up, and began to prepare breakfast.
He himself does not have the habit of eating breakfast, two meals a day is enough, but Golden City Lost City has three meals a day, so he has to change accordingly.
Moreover, Ming Yao, who couldn't get up early, forced him to learn cooking skills—but it was only barely edible.
There are two stoves in the kitchen. In addition to the one used for decocting medicine, the other stove is equipped with a casserole that has been simmering slowly since midnight. The rice porridge boiled in the pot has already exuded aroma, and the fish fillets were lost when the flame stopped. Going in, I felt that the fish fillets were about to be cooked, so I filled a bowl for myself first, and then sprinkled a little salt into the pot.
After he fished out the kimchi from the altar and cut it into big and small cubes and served it on the table, Ming Yao came from the room in a daze.
At this moment, Ming Yao woke up very angry, even if it was Zhi Yan, he didn't dare to go up and tease him casually.
He held his breath, and only smiled when Ming Yao washed his face and woke up.
Ming Yao got up a little less angry, forced a smile and rubbed his head, and the two began to eat.
While eating, there was noise outside, Zhi Yan couldn't sit still, he was a little curious, he glanced at Ming Yao a few times, seeing that he didn't pay attention to himself, he took a few mouthfuls of the food, put on his mask and went outside to have a look.
There were already a few craftsmen sitting at the door smoking and chatting. Seeing Zhiyan running out, they greeted him with a smile.
The craftsmen smoked the dry tobacco they rolled themselves, which had a strong smell. Zhi Yan used his hand as a fan and returned the gift. There were few people in the Lost City of Jindu, and it was rare to be lively. Except for outsiders attacking the city, there were very few noisy situations.Zhiyan has not yet reached maturity, and still retains a bit of a child's playful nature in his disposition, so he is very curious.
The south city is the closest to the outer city. The gate of the Lost City of Golden City is just beside the south city. Outsiders who enter usually have to pass through the south city.
The door was occupied by someone, so Zhiyan could only climb on the wall and sit and watch. A few young craftsmen also followed suit. They were all used to cleanliness.
The noise gradually became louder, Zhiyan stretched his neck to look.
A long line of people, with several sedan chairs in the middle, was walking slowly.
Judging from the clothes he was wearing, he probably belonged to a certain branch of the Celestial Clan, with long and flowing feathers on his head, which made him look light and elegant when he walked.
After watching for a while, Zhiyan couldn't help widening his eyes, and in the next moment, he almost fell off the wall!
Ah Rin!
He almost thought he was dreaming!
Why is Ah Lin here?
How could he mix with people from the Celestial Clan? !
The sharks are the most secluded branch of the sea clan, and very few members of the clan leave the clan.Even if they like to do things like marrying their clansmen to foreign clans in exchange for dowries, they just marry some people who are weak and unable to touch important things in the clan.
Just like Zhiyan, he was once the top candidate for marrying out of the clan. When he was a child, he couldn't even participate in the hunting training of the clan. Fortunately, his mother secretly taught him, otherwise he would still be illiterate.
Such a person, even if someone wants to dig some information, they can't even get a fart - I really don't know what to say!
What happened later, if the man who came to ask for marriage was not too noble, he had to marry off the pride of the clan - Akan - even if Zhiyan didn't know Akan, he knew that if he only looked at his face, Akan It is enough to match anyone, not to mention a person who is healthy, able to marry, reproduce and hunt. Everyone in the clan should participate. Marrying to the mermaid clan with a small number of people is a heavy loss.
Fortunately, the noble status of the man who proposed to marry is enough to make up for it. Just being in-laws with the dragon clan can make the mermaids grit their teeth and bear it.
Turning back, Zhiyan was startled and terrified, surprised why A Lin appeared here, and worried that A Lin came to arrest him.
Zhiyan's palms were sweating, and he was about to sneak down the wall when he heard a familiar voice at his feet: "Xiao Yan, what did you see?"
It was Ming Yao, the queue was only a corner away from where Zhi Yan was, Ming Yao couldn't see it, but Zhi Yan could see Ah Lin who was walking in front approaching step by step.
Zhiyan panicked, and said: "Get out of the way, get out of the way, it's coming soon, let's go in and have a look, don't block people."
Ming Yao blinked, grinned, and said, "Don't, it's right here, you can't see anything when you go in."
"Ming Yao!" Zhi Yan was so angry and anxious that he couldn't help calling out.
Ah Lin has been with him for nearly a hundred years, even if she wraps herself in soil and seals it in a box, besides Ah Ma, there is probably someone who can recognize her at a glance.
In the words of Ah Lin once said: "You can tell which one is vomited by the bubbles in the water."
But now, friendship has turned into enmity, and the risk of being recognized at a glance has fallen on top of his head, Zhiyan is so anxious that he sweats.
"Ming Yao!" Zhi Yan gritted his teeth, why didn't he find Ming Yao so difficult before!
Ming Yao couldn't help laughing, and the craftsmen who were watching were also very happy.
Ming Yao stretched out his hand and said, "Jump down, I'll catch you."
Zhiyan couldn't help but blushed, hummed, aimed at Ming Yao's embrace, and jumped off the wall decisively.
It just so happened that the young male mermaid had just come around the corner, and the change of vision allowed him to immediately see the boy who had thrown himself into the arms of the handsome man.
He couldn't help but take another look, the inexplicable sense of familiarity made his heart beat faster, but he saw the man hiding the boy's face in his arms intentionally or unintentionally, and covered it with a wide-sleeved robe, and looked over with suspicious and vigilant eyes.
It's like a possessive look towards your partner.
The young shark couldn't help laughing secretly, suppressing the bitterness in his heart, and continued to walk forward without squinting.
In the afternoon, Ming Yao was called to the palace.
Only then did Zhiyan know that besides the title of the best craftsman in Nancheng, Ming Yao also held an official position with the city lord of Lost City of Jindu.
Thinking of that city lord, Zhiyan felt a little awkward, and even Ming Yao invited him to go with him regardless of public or personal interests, but he refused resolutely and rationally.
So he was sent by the boring artisans in Nancheng to buy wine, buy food, and run errands, which can be described as hard work.
In Beicheng, Zhiyan was walking back with a large jug of wine and some appetizers when a group of strangers in different clothes approached him.
It was the team of Celestial Clan that I saw in the morning, Zhiyan looked carefully, but he didn't find Ah Lin, so he was a little relieved and decided to take a detour.
But he didn't want to be stopped by one of them. He looked back and was asked, "Where did you get the button on your face?"
The way the visitor spoke was direct and rude, but the voice was soft and soft, which made Zhiyan get goosebumps all over his body.
Zhiyan secretly rubbed his hands, smiled, and said, "I bought it in Xicheng." He pointed in the direction, "Have you seen the orb on the golden pole? Go there, there are many people selling it."
The visitor looked in the direction of the finger, smiled, and said, "Thank you, little brother." As he spoke, he muttered, "The things in Lost City of Golden City are just different", and walked towards the person waiting beside him. .
Zhiyan took a glance, and saw a young man surrounded by the crowd, holding a feather fan in his hand, with an eye with slender eyelashes embroidered with silk thread, and seeing Zhiyan look over, he covered half of his face with the feather fan , smiled slightly.
Zhiyan flickered, only to feel that the eyes on that fan were exactly the same as that young master's eyes, and they were of the same grade as the city lord of Lost City of Golden City, so he nodded and left.
At night, Ming Yao came back and talked about the purpose of entering the palace this time.
It turned out that the people from the Celestial Clan came to talk about in-laws.
After all, he is a descendant of the royal family of the Dragon Clan. No matter how inconspicuous the city lord of the Lost City of Jindu is, he is still a charming sweetheart.
All along, this golden bachelor seems to be only interested in gold, silver and jewelry. People who are watching can't understand the meaning of the Dragon Clan, so they dare not act rashly.
Originally, it would be fine if he never got married, but half a year ago, he suddenly got a wife from the mermaid tribe, which immediately made everyone pay attention and started to make up their minds.
The first one to attack was the peacock of the Celestial Clan, who directly sent the young son of a certain white-feathered noble family in the clan to show him off. If he liked it, he could hold a wedding in Lost City of Golden Capital.
Although this move was too eager, ugly and unrefined, no one could deny that it was indeed straightforward.
After all, it is better to strike first.
Zhiyan couldn't help admiring the straightforwardness of the Peacock tribe.
Then envy the good luck of the city lord.
Some people have said that peach blossoms are like peach blossoms. Once a flower blooms, thousands of trees will bloom, and nothing can stop it.
Zhiyan hasn't seen Peach Blossom yet, but thinking about it, it's probably the same as the city lord now.
Zhiyan couldn't help but imagine the city lord being tightly wrapped by thousands of peach blossoms, and he couldn't stop snickering.
Ming Yao poked Zhi Yan's forehead with one stroke, and said helplessly, "What are you laughing at?"
Zhiyan came back to his senses, wiped the ink dripping on the table with a piece of paper, and said, "I seem to have seen that young man of the peacock clan today, he looks like he is wrapped in a ball of white fur." He said with a grin, "It looks like It was great fun."
Ming Yao sneered, and said, "That's the most beautiful young master of the Peacock Clan, you are ignorant."
"Can you be as beautiful as Jin Jun?" In Zhiyan's eyes, although these two people are not of the same type, they are about the same height.
Ming Yao hesitated for a moment, and said: "Jin Jun is elegant, and the sparrow family is gorgeous, this is incomparable."
Zhiyan was about to nod his head in agreement when he suddenly realized, raised his eyebrows and said, "You can see clearly."
Ming Yao was not in any embarrassment, and said calmly: "After all, as a craftsman, maybe one day I will have to pretend to be a golden man. I don't take this opportunity to understand it. When the time comes, how can I figure it out?" Shen Yun?"
According to the taste of the city lord, there is probably such a possibility.But Ming Yao's statement made Zhiyan a little dissatisfied, and he couldn't explain why, he just frowned.
Ming Yao glanced at him, couldn't help smiling, and said: "Don't think too much, you go and prepare things, we will leave the city in a few days."
"Going out of the city?" Zhi Yan was surprised, the matter of going out of the city was mentioned yesterday, but at this juncture, he still has to go out of the city?
"Is the city lord going too?" He couldn't help asking again.
"Naturally." Ming Yao nodded and said, "Going to the Peacock Clan, even if you get married, you can't just get to know each other in the Lost City of Golden Capital, so you have to be careful."
Zhiyan was stunned.
It suddenly occurred to him that it was prudent for A-Kan to marry directly for the sake of the other party's noble status and expensive dowry.
Thinking again, the city lord has taken a fancy to the son of the Peacock clan?
In the end, I thought, could it be that yesterday’s announcement of going out of the city was a good preparation for today? !
He was a little confused and looked at Ming Yao.
Ming Yao just smiled, then lowered his head and continued to draw on the drawings.
The wick popped.
