Destiny Reborn

As the new year is approaching, there are more people in Jinzhou than usual. Although it is daytime, it is already very lively and crowded.

When Mu Xuyan first came to Jinzhou, because Yunjiabao was recruiting disciples from outside sects, he went up to Tianji Mountain before he had time to walk around a few times. Now he was surprised to see the prosperity of Jinzhou. As expected of a big city, it is more lively No lower than the capital city.

"Mr. Huangfu, why don't you take off the mask?" Huangfu Yu looked like he was not a friendly person wearing this mask, and the people around had already subconsciously stepped back.

"I'm just used to it." Huangfu Yu sighed, "After wearing it for so many years, I really don't feel comfortable taking it off." Mu Xuyan didn't say anything, but felt a little happy in his heart.He didn't take off the mask after he saw the appearance under the mask, which shows that Huangfu Yu didn't wear the mask against him, but really got used to it after wearing it for many years.

"Okay." Mu Xuyan looked around and found that there were many stalls selling masks with various types and styles.

"Strange, why are there so many people selling masks on the street?" Looking at Huangfu Yu, he said with a smile, "Isn't it specially prepared for you?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Huangfu Yu smiled helplessly: "There is a custom in Jinzhou that a large-scale temple fair will be held from the first day to the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, also known as the Qiyuan Festival, and men and women can wear masks to find destined people. Now the stalls and hawkers are all ready. Even if the Chinese New Year is not yet, the degree of prosperity will not be lower than that of ordinary small towns during the Chinese New Year.”

"So that's it." Mu Xuyan nodded, and suddenly said with a smile: "Mr. Huangfu, you said that you are wearing a mask like this, will there be someone who is destined to find you?"

"What do you think?" Huangfu Yu smiled inexplicably, then walked to a booth next to him, picked up a mask and put it on Mu Xuyan's face: "Okay, now you are my destined person."

"Nonsense!" Mu Xuyan blushed and took off the mask, and before he could stare at Huangfu Yu, he looked at the mask in his hand and gasped.

Happy.

"Did you do it on purpose!" The mask that Huangfu Yu put on his face was in the shape of a pig's head!

"No. I just think our two masks match very well. Others can see that we are destined."

Ansan and Ying silently turned their heads, really couldn't bear to look directly at them, who would link these two masks together?

Mu Xuyan gritted his teeth, and said fiercely: "I wish you to find your destined person on the Qiyuan Festival! It must be wearing a pig's head mask!" Anyway, he will definitely not wear it then.

"Okay, I'll take your auspicious words." Anyway, the baby must be put on a pig's head mask that day.

So, the two looked at each other and smiled, the little abacus in their hearts crackling.

"Huh?" Mu Xuyan was a little lost after glancing at a silver mask on the stall.

I said before that there are many types of masks, but Mu Xuyan’s most common ones are opera and animal ones, but there are also many fancy ones but I can’t tell the type. (For example, the feather masks in Shanghai during the Republic of China, and the court-style masks in Europe and America)

But in any case, it is suitable for the Qiyuan Festival. The mask that attracted Mu Xuyan is equivalent to the Qiyuan Festival. It is really not suitable, it is more like daily wear.

It was a silver half-face mask, slightly smaller than the one worn by Huangfu Yu, and it looked much more refined.

The sterling silver mask does not have too many patterns, only a delicate lotus flower is carved on the corner of the eye and the temple, not only is it not feminine, but also has an elegant taste of a literati.

"How much is this?" Mu Xuyan picked up the mask and asked.

"Hey, it's more expensive objectively." The peddler had been watching the interaction between the two of them just now and didn't dare to intervene. Now seeing Mu Xuyan asking about the price, he thought to himself that these two young men who are either rich or expensive at first sight, these two Can make a business.

The peddler was so excited because the price of the mask was not embarrassing. It was expensive for ordinary people;

So seeing that Mu Xuyan wanted to buy it, he first praised Mu Xuyan for his good eyesight, and then talked endlessly about the craft materials, blowing the mask like nothing else in the sky.

Mu Xuyan was slightly embarrassed, and asked again: "Boss, I'm asking how much this mask costs."

"Ah, oh." The peddler smiled embarrassedly: "Well, it costs ten taels." (Note: For the convenience of calculation, 1 tael = the current 100 yuan)

Mu Xuyan didn't have much idea about money before, but after a long time, he also knew that it is indeed expensive to pay ten taels for a mask.

But it doesn’t matter, it’s hard to buy a thousand taels of silver. Besides, ten taels is completely acceptable. Mu Xuyan didn’t want to bother to bargain with the hawker, so he simply took out ten taels of silver and said, “I bought it.”

"Okay, thank you son." The peddler happily handed the mask to Mu Xuyan, and finally said: "This mask in the master's hand is considered a small one for you."

Mu Xuyan: "..." He was really not happy at all!

Huangfuyu laughed muffledly at the side, without him, it was Mu Xuyan's expression that amused him.

"What are you laughing at, I wanted to give you this mask, but now there is no way!"

"I laugh because I am pleased. I am very happy that you gave me a gift, little thing." Huangfu Yu's tone immediately became very sincere.

"..." Forget it, if I continue talking, I will be led by the nose by Huangfu Yu.

Mu Xuyan's expression had returned to his usual cold expression, and he said with a look of indifference: "I just think you can help

It hurt me so much, so there's no point in giving you a mask.It turns out that this one can be replaced if it is dirty. "

"The last sentence is not cute." Huangfu Yu took off the mask on his face, smiled and took the mask from Mu Xuyan's hand and put it on.

To him, it doesn't matter what type of mask he wears, even if this silver mask doesn't look domineering at all.

Mu Xuyan was habitually stunned when he saw Huangfu Yu's appearance, not because he was attracted, but because Huangfu Yu and Mu Huanchen didn't have the slightest resemblance.

But seeing Huangfu Yu put on the silver mask, Mu Xuyan was not stunned, but shocked.

He originally thought that this mask was not suitable for Huangfu Yu, because this mask was too elegant and delicate. A person as strong as Huangfu Yu wearing such a mask should be twisted like a rough man wearing a literati's clothes, not to say Huangfu Yu's image is not good, but his aura is too domineering.

But he didn't expect Huangfu Yu to be able to control the mask so well, the current appearance is completely different from the previous appearance wearing the golden dragon beast mask.

The original domineering momentum has been restrained, giving people a gentle but elegant demeanor.If in the past it was the domineering power of the world that made people dare not approach, then now it is the immortal who is above the heavens, which also makes people daunting and afraid to get close.

Different temperaments, but the same goal by different routes.

"Why, isn't it good?" Huangfu Yu laughed softly, and unexpectedly became more and more gentle.

Mu Xuyan was taken aback for a moment, wondering if the person he saw was the same person as before?

"No, it's just that I'm not used to it." Mu Xuyan sighed, this feeling was like getting to know someone again.

"Well, I got used to it just by looking at it." Huangfu Yu didn't plan to change the mask back, after all, it was Mu Xuyan who gave it to him.

After finishing speaking, he dragged Mu Xuyan forward, and he could tell from his tone that he was in a good mood: "Let's go, let's go to eat.

"

Juquande, a famous restaurant in Jinzhou, has a unique taste.Especially his roast duck is a major feature of Jinzhou.

It was a coincidence that the two of them were in time for the meal, not to mention the private rooms, even the hall was packed to the brim with no empty seats.

Shouting, talking and laughing made the hall more lively, and there was a smell of roast duck, which made people salivate and couldn't leave.This person is Mu Xuyan.

Huangfu Yu told him how the roast duck here is excellent, although I look like I am not picky, but in my heart

Greedy.

It was not easy to come here, but Mu Xuyan felt a little regretful when he asked whether he wanted a private room or not, and whether he wanted to share a table or not.

"Both young masters, I'm really sorry." The shopkeeper smiled apologetically, "Our boxes are all reserved, so even the lobby is full right now. Why don't you make reservations for tomorrow?"

It might not be possible tomorrow, Mu Xuyan complained silently.

"Then make one." Huangfu Yu said, and then comforted Mu Xuyan: "We will not go back today."

"May I ask if you are a tourist who just came here today?" the shopkeeper asked after seeing them.

"Oral insults,"

"Oh, that's really a coincidence. If you haven't booked an inn, I'm afraid you won't even have a place to stay at night."

"It's so lively?" Mu Xuyan was puzzled: "It's the New Year, and everyone is not at home to have a reunion?"

"Objectively, you don't know. Jinzhou is very lively during the New Year's Eve. Now guests have reserved rooms in advance, so they can bring their families to visit during the New Year. So Jinzhou may not have any vacant inns right now."

Mu Xuyan was silent for a while, poked Huangfu Yu with his elbow, and asked in a low voice, "Is there anything you can do?"

That expression of reluctance.He didn't believe that Huangfu Yu had no choice.Besides, Huangfu Yuna is the third elder of Yunjiabao. To put it bluntly, Jinzhou is like his fiefdom. The restaurants and inns in Jinzhou city will definitely leave vacancies for some important people.

"Well, there is really a way." The corner of Huangfu Yu's mouth twitched, Juquande was originally the property of Yunjiabao, but a small attic was left behind for them.but……

"But what do you give me in return, little guy?"

"Is your surname a traitor?" Mu Xuyan stared helplessly, and said bluntly, "I'll give you 100 taels!"

Huangfu Yu: "..."

Mu Xuyan was terrified, the depression of not being able to eat the roast duck dissipated when she saw Huangfu Yumai's appearance.
