Gu Xijiu glanced at him. "Tell me the truth!"
"Xijiu, if Celestial Master Zuo was not here, would you like me? I want to hear the real truth. Please speak from your heart, and not just cut the Gordian knot with a quick knife or something. Think carefully before you answer me. "
Gu Xijiu looked calm. "Don't think about it. I can answer you now. No! I can treat you as a partner or a friend, but not as a lover. I don't have that kind of feeling for you. "
Her voice was cold and crisp, which extinguished all of Baili Ce's fantasies. His face turned pale. "Do you really like Celestial Master Zuo? If I don't agree, you won't be able to be together as long as you stay here. You will never have a relationship with him. Don't you regret it? "
Gu Xijiu picked up a fruit and said calmly, "In fact, if I want to be with him, no one can stop us. We already had an engagement outside, and if it had not been for an accident, I would have married him in a dignified manner. To be honest, I don't care about what people say or think. Love is between two people, and it has nothing to do with a third party. "
She glanced at the crowd, and everyone looked at her. She continued, "The reason why he agreed to Boss Luo's rule was that he didn't want me to be criticized by others. He also didn't want to embarrass Boss Luo because he is my brother. He respects the rules here because he respects me and wants everyone's blessings. But for me, the rules don't have any binding force on me. It's my business who I like, and I'll be happy to receive everyone's approval. But if I use this to take revenge, then I can only say sorry, and our friendship ends here! "
Baili Ce's face turned pale.
Girls were thin-skinned. In the past, when other men wanted to get their wives to work hard, the girls were too embarrassed to say anything. Basically, they could only watch as their future husbands worked hard. Some were even played like monkeys, and the bride-to-be did not dare to say a word.
Gu Xijiu, on the other hand, was able to talk about her feelings without any hesitation. What she was doing now was an invisible warning to him, advising him to stop before going too far. Otherwise, they would not be able to be friends anymore.
This girl was bold and responsible! She was not pretentious or pretentious, and she dared to do and speak her mind. Di Fuyi was really lucky to marry her!
The few men who had gone through so many hardships to get married looked at Gu Xijiu with admiration.
Baili Ce lowered his head and took a deep breath. "Don't worry, Xijiu. I will not make things difficult for you. I just want to see if it is worth it for me to quit."
Gu Xijiu smiled and raised her glass, "Thank you for your help. Come, let me toast you. Anyway, thank you for liking it. "
Baili Ce drank the cup of wine, which meant that he agreed to it.
Luo Zhanyu looked at Gu Xijiu with a complicated gaze. He did not expect Baili Ce to be so easily defeated by Gu Xijiu.
Someone looked around and asked, "Where is Celestial Master Zuo? I haven't seen him for a few days. "
The others also agreed and said that they had not seen Celestial Master Zuo for almost three days.
In fact, Gu Xijiu was very busy. She was busy improving her alchemy level. She did not have to attend the bonfire party, but she had not seen Di Fuyi for more than 10 days. She missed him very much and wanted to take this opportunity to see him. Even if they could not talk, they could at least look at each other. However, he did not show up, which made her a little disappointed.
She even felt a little resentful. Although he was not allowed to see her according to the rules, why couldn't he come to see her secretly? He knew that she did not care about the formalities. Even if it was just to see her secretly!
Celestial Master Zuo had always disregarded the rules, but this time, he strictly followed the rules. It made people hate him.
Did he not miss her after not seeing her for so many days?
Hmph, it seemed that he did not miss her at all!
Gu Xijiu looked down and drank a cup of wine. Suddenly, she said, "It's boring to sit here and talk. Why don't I sing for everyone?"
Gu Xijiu had never sung before, so everyone did not expect her to sing. They were stunned and cheered.
Huang Shangxiang was the best singer here, and she was always proud of it. After listening to Gu Xijiu, she smiled and said, "Yes, it is more interesting to sing and dance. Whether you can sing or not, it is good to have the courage to sing."
She looked at Gu Xijiu and encouraged her, "Miss Gu, you can sing bravely. Don't worry, no matter how bad you sing, we won't laugh at you. Just treat it as a bait. I will sing and dance for everyone later. "
Gu Xijiu was speechless. She almost wanted to laugh!
Gu Xijiu had been in the limelight recently, which made Huang Shangxiang feel uneasy. Although she had been severely punished, she never learned to be a good person. She always wanted to find a chance to hurt Gu Xijiu. Even a little verbal provocation was good enough for Huang Shangxiang.
Gu Xijiu could not be bothered with this kind of person, so she ignored her.
It was rare for Huang Shangxiang to gain the upper hand, so she was proud of herself. She looked around and asked, "Do you want to see me sing and dance?"
She still understood the spirit of hunger marketing. She knew that the rarer something was, the greater its value. She usually did not sing and dance in front of others. She would only come out to sing and dance in a reserved manner to liven things up when others urged her to do so. Everyone had to cheer for her, or else they would look down on her, and she would never sing again.
Because of this, these men still pampered her more. When she sang and danced, they would definitely cheer loudly and give her enough face.
It was rare for her to take the initiative to sing and dance, so most of them liked it. However, she obviously wanted to embarrass Gu Xijiu, so everyone looked at each other. In the end, they vaguely answered, "We want to see both of you sing and dance."
"Both of you, please sing and dance. Let us broaden our horizons …"
Everyone was experienced, so they did not want to offend the two ladies.
Huang Shangxiang was not happy, but she did not show it. She wanted to win back her pride in singing and dancing so that she could be the focus of the men again.
Among the people present, there were a few who could play musical instruments. One of them even had a zither, and he was quite good at it. At this time, he volunteered, "I will accompany the two ladies with the sound of the zither."
Huang Shangxiang looked at Gu Xijiu. "Miss Gu, you go first."
Gu Xijiu looked at her and smiled faintly. "Are you really going to let me go first?"
"Of course. I am afraid that you will not want to sing after I sing and dance. It is rare that you are willing to sing, and we are all here to have fun. I don't want to spoil the fun, don't you think so?" Huang Shangxiang looked like she understood what was important.
Gu Xijiu smiled. "Alright, I will go first!"
She did not want to argue with such people. Strength was the most important thing!
The man who knew how to play the guqin asked Gu Xijiu, "Miss Gu, what do you want to sing? Why don't you hum a tune first so that I can be prepared? "
Gu Xijiu paused for a while and passed him a music score. It was "Green Jade Case". The guqin man looked at it and immediately exclaimed, "Good song!"
The guqin man was indeed talented. He played a few notes with his fingers and then slowly got on the right track. A series of tinkling sounds were very artistic. Gu Xijiu spun and sang as she danced, "Goodbye, Sunset City, Guan Yunwan."
A light boat drifting in the middle of the night,
The rain was heavy in the ancient town.
Her shadow was light, and her beauty was reflected in the mirror.
...
As soon as she sang, the noisy square suddenly quieted down.
It was the sound of nature!
Apparently, the crowd did not expect her to sing so well. They all looked at her with their mouths slightly open.
Even though the people present were not good at music and could not sing, they would still listen to it! Everyone liked beautiful music, and everyone would naturally be intoxicated by a beautiful voice like the sound of nature.
Originally, the guqin man was the best at playing the guqin, and he would not easily accompany others. Today, he came forward just because Gu Xijiu wanted to help everyone. He was also prepared to try to pull Gu Xijiu back if she sang out of tune. However, when Gu Xijiu sang, even his heart skipped a beat! His eyes suddenly brightened!
Such a singing...
He suddenly felt that his guqin was a little unworthy of her, and it made him feel a little ashamed.
When he started playing, he was a little careless, but now he could not help but concentrate all his attention on playing...
Not only was Gu Xijiu a good singer, but she was also a good dancer. She was wearing a sky green dress today, and when she danced, it looked like the rippling waves under the moonlight. She was also like a flower blooming in the night.
Everyone present held their breaths, fearing that they would disturb the singer and dancer if they exhaled too loudly and ruin this beautiful moment.
Some people who knew music even felt that such a song and dance should be accompanied by a better guqin, but the guqin man's performance was still not good enough...
When Gu Xijiu sang the fifth sentence, a strand of flute suddenly joined in.
This flute sound was as ethereal as the wind, as if it brought the pine wind from the mountains, and when it was added, it completely covered the sound of the guqin.
Although it was added abruptly, it was unusually in tune with the singing, as if the sound of nature should be matched with the sound of flute, and other sounds were just noises.
The guqin man reluctantly followed the tune for two more times, and he also felt that something was wrong, so he reluctantly stopped.
There was only one person in this world who could play the flute so well!
Celestial Master Zuo, Di Fuyi!
He was finally here!
Gu Xijiu's heart was slightly moved, but she did not say anything and continued to sing and dance.
"The morning moon is like snow, and the sky is like snow
Blood stains the clouds, and a long farewell
A song written with love and tears
Hundreds of feelings, in both heaven and man, no one could solve it...
The combination of the flute, the song, and the dance seemed to make the world quiet, and the wind became gentle.
When the song ended, the lingering sound lingered for a long time.
Only when the lingering sound disappeared did the people wake up from the song.
Then, there was a thunderous applause!
Everyone's palms almost turned red from the clapping.
They had never heard such a beautiful song and seen such a beautiful dance in their lives!
Gu Xijiu had returned to her seat, and she glanced at Huang Shangxiang. "I threw a brick, and Miss Huang can sing a jade. Please! "
Huang Shangxiang was speechless.
Everyone shook their heads. Compared to Gu Xijiu's song and dance, Huang Shangxiang's was like a child's play, and they could not even listen to it.
Huang Shangxiang was stunned, and her face was pale. She sat there and did not have the courage to stand up. She wanted to escape!
However, she had already boasted just now. It would not be good for her to back down now. While she was struggling, she looked up and saw Di Fuyi descending from the tree. He was holding a flute in one hand and a bucket in the other. Although the scene was a little strange, it did not affect his elegant temperament at all.
"Celestial Master Zuo, you're finally here!"
"Yes, I haven't seen you for the past three days …"
"Celestial Master Zuo's flute is so good! It is so perfect with Miss Gu's voice … "
"…"
Recently, Di Fuyi was quite popular. Everyone greeted him with a smile, and apparently, they had treated him as one of them.
Di Fuyi smiled, and he looked lazy. However, his eyes were fixed on Gu Xijiu. His eyes were deeper than the night and more dazzling than the stars.
Gu Xijiu sat there with her arms around her knees, and her eyes met his without hesitation. She smiled and nodded at him. Then, she turned to talk to the people next to her and did not look at him anymore.
Di Fuyi's eyes darkened. The little girl seemed to be angry …
Why?
Did she think that he was too slow?
In fact, he was already very anxious …
Everyone looked at the bucket in his hand, and there was the sound of water coming from it. Some of them stretched their neck to take a look and found a fish swimming in the bucket.
The fish looked strange. It was half red and half silver, and it looked like a fat carp. It looked a little cute.
"Hey, isn't this the silver carp? Did Celestial Master Zuo go fishing? "
"This fish is very cunning, and it is not easy to catch it! Celestial Master Zuo can actually catch this fish. It seems that he is good at fishing. "
"Although it is not easy to catch this fish, it is very nutritious, and it tastes delicious. Who is Celestial Master Zuo going to give this fish to? "
Everyone was talking and teasing each other.
Gu Xijiu was slightly moved. The fish soup that she made for Baili Ce was made with this fish. She heard that Celestial Master Zuo took it away, and Baili Ce was angry for a long time.
While she was thinking, the shadow next to her darkened, and a light fragrance came into her nose.
Di Fuyi walked to her side, but he did not speak to her directly. Instead, he spoke to a woman on the left of Gu Xijiu gently, "Miss, can you move aside?"
Of course, the woman had good eyesight. Besides, when Celestial Master Zuo spoke to someone gently, no one would dare to reject him. Therefore, she immediately stood up and looked for another seat.
Then, Di Fuyi floated next to Gu Xijiu and sat down.
Gu Xijiu had not seen him for more than ten days. At this moment, when he sat next to her, she could smell the light fragrance on his body. Her arm accidentally touched his arm, and the warmth made her heart palpitate.
She quietly moved to the side.
Luo Zhanyu, who was sitting on her right, glanced at Di Fuyi, "Celestial Master Zuo, according to the rules, you and Gu Xijiu are not allowed to talk or see each other. Isn't it inappropriate for you to sit here?"
Di Fuyi put the bucket on the ground, "This is a public place. Isn't it reasonable to see each other? I did not talk to her either. As for why I chose to sit here, it is because this place has the best view. "
Luo Zhanyu was speechless. Everyone was sitting in a circle. What was the best view?
However, what Di Fuyi said was reasonable, and he could not find any reason to refute. When he was about to say something, Gu Xijiu suddenly stood up and took a skewer of meat from the barbecue rack. Then, she found another seat and sat far away from Di Fuyi.
Di Fuyi was speechless.
He was sure that she was angry, but he did not know why she was angry.
Gu Xijiu avoided him quietly. The others thought that she was also trying to avoid arousing suspicion, so they did not take it to heart. They only felt that Di Fuyi was a little pitiful.
Fortunately, the married men here were once 'pitiful', so they appreciated Celestial Master Zuo and chatted with him for a while.
Everyone was generally interested in the fish that he caught. The fish was edible and suitable for girls to keep. Did Di Fuyi want to give the fish to Gu Xijiu?
In fact, Gu Xijiu was also wondering why he caught the fish. She glanced at his bucket just now, and the fish seemed to be the same size as the one she used to stew the soup. Even the pattern was the same.
Di Fuyi's gaze fell on Baili Ce, and Baili Ce immediately felt that he was a lot shorter. However, he immediately straightened his back and stared back at him. He decided to strike first, "What do you want?"
Di Fuyi said faintly, "It was my fault for snatching your fish soup back then. I purposely caught this one, and it's exactly the same as the one you caught, without the slightest difference. You can check it yourself. "
He waved his hand, and the bucket flew to Baili Ce's side.
This fish was actually for him?!
Baili Ce subconsciously looked into the bucket and found that the fish was exactly the same as the one he caught earlier. He could not help but be stunned.
He knew better than anyone else how difficult it was to catch this fish. There were very few of them, and their sizes were very uneven. It would be extremely difficult for him to catch another one that was about the same size as the original one, let alone the exact same one. However, Di Fuyi had returned him a pair of fish that looked like twins.
He was stunned for a moment and stared at Di Fuyi. "How long did you catch this fish?"
Di Fuyi lightly said, "Not long, only three days."
It turned out that he had been missing for three days.
Someone reacted quickly and widened his eyes. "Celestial Master Zuo must have caught a lot of these fish in the past three days, right? How many did you catch before you found this one? "
"Not many." Di Fuyi lightly said. He raised his hand, and there were eight fish buckets in front of him. There were different kinds of fish in each bucket. They were of different sizes and patterns, and there were at least 60 to 70 of them.
The crowd was speechless.
He had been fishing at the same spot for three days just to catch the same fish as the compensation.
This compensation was very sincere!
The crowd was moved, and they all looked at Baili Ce.
Baili Ce was very touched. He looked at the fish in the bucket for a moment, and suddenly sighed. "Celestial Master Zuo, I admit defeat! I will give my blessing to your marriage, and I will not interfere anymore … "
He had lost! He was convinced of his loss!
When he told Gu Xijiu that he could withdraw from the marriage, it was because of Gu Xijiu, and it had nothing to do with Di Fuyi.
However, he was finally convinced when he looked at the fish! He was convinced by Di Fuyi!
...
Everyone was touched by Xiao Yiyi, right? Hahaha.
