The day of fortune-telling for the dragon

Ever since he reconciled with Hua Jue, Xuanlong wanted to cling to Hua Jue all day long, no matter whether Hua Jue was shopping in the street or at a stall to tell fortunes, he would follow her and never leave her.

On this day, Hua Jue stayed in her dilapidated little shed, checked Hua Dabao's injury from being scratched by Little Phoenix before, and after confirming that there was no major problem, she hugged him to her lap, patted its fur, and picked out possible Hua Dabao was extremely comfortable with the lice that existed, and showed his belly for Hua Jue to rub, meowing.

Xuanlong watched from the side, and confidently changed into a dragon shape and lined up. After Hua Jue put Hua Dabao down, he took advantage of the opportunity and climbed onto his lap.

Hua Jue rolled up the tornado and patted his head: "What are you doing? There are no guests today, so I'm planning to go home early."

Xuanlong turned over and spread out, grabbed his hand with his claws: "Pick the lice for me."

Hua Jue rolled him up again, stretched out his hand and flicked the smooth and black scales on his body: "A hard-shelled guy like you won't have lice, get down quickly."

Xuanlong couldn't go down, Hua Jue had no choice but to pick him up and rub him up and down, just like a massage.Xuanlong was very satisfied, and waited for Huajue to fall to the ground before going out, and then turned back into a human form, holding his hand and walking back.

"I want to eat roasted fruit, Hua Jue." Xuanlong said.

Hua Jue took the dragon to the vegetable market, bought a bag of noodles, brown sugar and fish maw, and bought some miscellaneous things.Xuanlong looked at a brick kiln not far away, just after firing a kiln of blue bricks, white mist flowed along the wind to the street, and pulled him again: "Shall we buy another house and move back?"

Hua Jue was shocked: "What did you say?"

Xuan Long said: "In the past, there were two people and one cat living in your house, but now there are more me and that bad-haired parrot, it's a bit crowded. Besides, we will have a wedding room when we get married in the future, and we will definitely need to expand and renovate it. What do you think? ?”

Hua Jue stammered a little: "Wedding room? Ah, this is for... No, I mean, isn't it too early to mention this?"

Xuanlong glanced at him: "Anyway, with you, what's the difference if it's earlier or later? I want earlier, don't you object?"

This topic was really not in Hua Jue's plan, and he was a little at a loss.In his mind, he and Xuanlong didn't even count as a matchmaker's order from their parents, it can only be said that he secretly fell in love with them, and they haven't separated yet, which is very good.When the word "marriage" was mentioned, Hua Jue couldn't help but think of the night before entering the palace in the illusion, her cheeks burned, and she found a reason to excuse it: "Now...no, the family doesn't have any money yet."

Hua Jue lowered her head and carefully checked her purse: "The change was spent on grocery shopping today, and I don't have any money left. I didn't know there were so many people in my family, and I didn't have the habit of saving money. I will save a little after the spring of this year." of."

Xuanlong looked at him without saying a word, touched him lightly with his elbow, and stuffed him with a hard thing, his hands were cold and heavy.

Hua Jue saw that it was a piece of silver ingot, which was genuine.

Xuanlong poked him again and stuffed him with another piece, which seemed to be heavier than the previous one.Hua Jue rubbed her eyes, and looked again, this time it was a gold ingot.

Hua Jue opened his mouth: "You... where did you get so much money?" He looked at Xuanlong seriously, and suddenly became serious, rushed up and grabbed his sleeve: "You didn't secretly do bad things behind my back? "

Xuanlong slowly took out a bag from his sleeve, opened it for him to see: it contained five or six phoenix tears and more than a dozen dragon scales, and then slowly introduced the price to him: "Phoenix tears, a grain of one hundred gold , dragon scales, one thousand taels."

Hua Jue opened her eyes wide, and was about to reach out to take a look, but Xuan Long took it back.Xuanlong scratched his nose: "It's enough to sell it once or twice, and it's cheap if it's cheap. You can take the remaining phoenix tears close to your body, reconcile the yin and yang, and you can grind the dragon scales and soak them in water to drink if you have nothing to do. ?"

Hua Jue suddenly became rich, but she didn't know what to say.Xuan Long smiled and said: "Then let's put our wedding room on the plan today, and go back and prepare to expand the house?"

Hua Jue was dragged to the brick kiln by Xuanlong with a dazed expression, and quickly settled the matter and ordered a batch of green bricks to be made the day after tomorrow.On a whim, Xuanlong bought another carriage, temporarily pulled a coachman up, and piled up all the desks, chairs, and sundries that he bought one after another.Hua Jue calculated the price at first, but then seeing that the calculation speed could not keep up with Xuanlong's spending speed, she gave up and tried to hold him back: "It's okay, you don't need to buy so much..."

"Hua Jue." Xuan Long called him.

Hua Jue raised her eyes to look at him, said "ah", her eyes were a little confused.Xuan Long leaned over and whispered in his ear: "Do you know that when daughters get married, they usually need a dowry?"

Hua Jue: "..."

Xuanlong concluded to him: "Your dowry is a dragon. I can give you all the scales, bones, and horns. Isn't it good?"

Hua Jue slapped him on the forehead: "What are you thinking! If you want to marry, you are the one who married me. If you really want to count, you belong to my Hua family." Thinking of this, Hua Jue became a little complacent: "No I heard that the bridegroom himself is the dowry, you are really... well, unreasonable."

"It's up to you, you always say I'm unreasonable, you must like me." Xuanlong rubbed his hair again, and went home with him.Hua Jue couldn't refute, so she obediently arranged the added items one by one, and cleared out some old ones that were really unusable, and the house suddenly changed a lot.

Hua Jue walked around and looked around, but was finally caught by Xuanlong and hugged her: "I only have these for now, otherwise I won't be able to let them go. Tomorrow I will remove the fence in the back garden, make room for the vacant land, and add a few more rooms in the future. What do you think about connecting the study room and the guest room into a single lobby?"

Hua Jue thought for a while: "Okay."

He didn't expect that after living in this place for 19 years, he would be able to renovate the house one day.This place has always been silent, guarding him from childhood to adulthood, it seems that he will grow old with him, it seems that the ending that will gradually become dusty with the passage of time cannot be avoided.But now here is about to become another look, as if to start again.

The little phoenix will live here for a long time, and it chirped: "I also want a room. I can cultivate a human form in the future, and I also want to sleep in a bed."

Xiao Fenghuang pointed to Hua Dabao again: "Although this guy won't be able to become a fairy, he might be able to cultivate a human form in the future, so he also wants a room."

Hua Jue was surprised: "Why can't my eldest treasure become a fairy?"

"Because it—" Just as Little Phoenix was about to tell Hua Jue, a cat's paw knocked her to the ground and rolled over a few times.Hua Dabao growled a few times, then happily patted the little phoenix around like a football, leaving the snow-white little fat bird screaming: "Hua Jue—help—"

That day, Hua Jue had a dream. He dreamed that the house was completed. In addition to the expected residence of everyone, there was an extra room in the house out of thin air.

In the dream, Hua Jue suddenly found this extra room, she was a little confused, and saw the silence of the house, Xuanlong was not there, Hua Dabao was not there, and Little Phoenix was not there, and she didn't know where they all went.Oddly enough, he walked towards that room, and suddenly heard a small sound coming from inside, which became more and more clear as he approached.

"No."

"I'll eat this."

Hua Jue heard the voices of Little Phoenix and Xuanlong, and was startled in her heart, suddenly had a bad premonition—these two goblins are not having a dinner party and eating some weird things?

Both of them have fallen into the evil way, and they are bloodthirsty by nature. It is not surprising that they have eaten people before.Hua Jue was a little apprehensive when she heard this, she clenched the judge's pen tightly in her hand, mustered up her courage and kicked open the door, ready to face everything.However, when he entered the room, he found that the room was clean, Little Phoenix was squatting on the table, and Xuan Long was holding the teacup in one hand, just taking a sip.Sitting on the other side was Hua Dabao, who did not make a sound. He was exactly the same boy in the illusion, with dark gray hair and green eyes, revealing a frenzied light.

They all hold a deck of cards in their hands.

Hearing the movement, Little Phoenix turned his head quickly, and shook his wings at him: "Ah, Hua Jue, you are here! We don't have to play leaf games, let's play mahjong! Three missing one, are you coming?"

Hua Jue: "..."

Then he woke up, it was late at night when he woke up, just like the scene in the dream, Xuanlong was not by his side, and Hua Dabao was not sleeping on the bedside either.Hua Jue slipped out of bed and found that these guys were all in the lobby. Xuanlong lit a lamp, held a blueprint, and poked on it: "This change here... what do you two think?"

Hua Dabao was watching from the sidelines, and from time to time he would slap Little Phoenix like a racket.Little Phoenix turned its neck, studied side by side with Xuanlong, and finally nodded in agreement: "Your ideas are all right, but I want a bird climbing frame—do you know what it is? It means I can jump on it Go, you can still stand on your head, if you want to experience it, you can also have someone make you a dragon climbing frame, I think..."

Hua Jue listened to half of the corner, felt relieved, climbed back to bed and fell asleep.

Xuanlong didn't know when he studied until he fell asleep, Hua Jue fell asleep for a while, and then felt that Xuanlong climbed onto the bed lightly and slept beside him.It's hard to estimate the time when falling asleep, Hua Jue only knows intuitively that it's early morning, and it will be dawn in one or two hours.He turned over and hugged Xuanlong's arm habitually, Xuanlong lowered his head and pulled him into his arms.

Then she kissed him lightly on the lips.

Hua Jue was actually awake. With his eyes closed, he felt the dragon hugging him tightly, kissing him again and again, as if he would not stop.In the end, Hua Jue couldn't hold back any longer, and laughed, "Do you think I'm eating sweet potatoes?"

Xuanlong retracted and asked in a low voice: "Did I wake you up?"

Hua Jue shook her head, leaned over and licked his lips, the two had a sticky quarrel, and then fell asleep head to head, and when they woke up the next day, their lips were still lightly pressed together.

Xuanlong went to bed late, and it looked like he would stay in bed. Hua Jue pasted a note on his forehead: "Your husband, I'm going out to tell your fortune! Be good at home, come to me if you think of me." Then happily went out Door.

At noon, he received a reply letter from Xuanlong brought by Little Phoenix: "I miss you, but I'm studying fortifications at home, so I can't come to you. When will you come back?"

As if not seeing each other every day is like three autumns, Hua Jue held the note and smirked for a long time, went out and looked left and right, and found an excuse for herself to go home: "Well, there are not many people on the street today, and there probably won't be any." What kind of business, I will close the stall and go home now."

In fact, after the beginning of spring, there are many people who go to the market in the market, and there are also scholars who go to Beijing to prepare for the next spring.It takes about a month for ordinary people to travel from Jiangling to Fujing. Since the Liuzhao border interoperability, there have been more and more foreigners and businessmen. Hua Jue simply pretended not to see, packed up her things and rushed home.However, he had just rolled up half of the hexagrams, when he saw the bell ringing at the door, and a person walked in shortly, he was a little surprised when he saw him: "Zhouyu, are you going to close the stall and go home now?"

The person who came was the Lord of Jiangling City, Xie Ran.

The city lord is a person who doesn't believe in ghosts and gods. Although he has recently come into contact with Hua Jue, a magic stick, he is also in a state of doubt, but generally, if it is not important, he will never look for him.Hua Jue quickly flattened the hexagram and asked, "It's okay, what's wrong?"

"I was looking for you at your home, but I didn't expect you to be here, so I came here." The city lord did not sit down, and at the same time stopped Hua Jue from pouring him tea.Hua Jue blushed a little, he knew that the chief of the city was looking for him at his home, so he would definitely know that he was living with Xuanlong now, it was really... immoral.

He coughed a few times and pretended nothing had happened.The city lord of Jiangling didn't mention this matter either, he just said: "Recently we improved the waterways and built houses for the farmers, and found a well in a ruined temple on the mountain. It's so strange. To change the waterway, we have to go here, we can't move. , but you can’t move it without authorization. Bi Yu, if you have time, come and take a look with me today.”
