Senior Superstar

The dream continues.

The life of the dreamer is also going on.

For a long period of time in the future, the owners of the perspectives traveled between the small Zhuangzi and the magnificent palaces outside Chang'an City.

Each piece of beautiful clothes is formed from her dexterous hands. During this process, Li Shixin followed the girl's perspective and movements, and memorized the tailoring skills such as shape making, cutting, and sewing.

In addition to the boring daily life of female workers, candied haws have become the bright color in this memory.

Every time he entered the palace, there was always a young man holding candied haws standing beside the street in the marketplace outside the imperial city.

But one day, things will change.

"Hey, I'm coming over tomorrow, don't forget the candied haws."

"Cixiu, you've already eaten one hundred and twenty-five skewers, haven't you had enough?"

Seeing the boy's bitter face, the girl raised her little foot and kicked it up!

"Fool!"

From the perspective of a girl, Li Shixin is clear. The candied haws had already been eaten enough, and occasionally, when the young man was not paying attention, the girl quietly threw the remaining one or two of the bunch of candied haws on the side of the road.

"I gotta go!"

Being kicked, the boy didn't feel any pain, but just smiled foolishly.

"Ah?" The girl was stunned: "Where are you going?"

"My family's allotment land has long been gone. Grandpa said that he is too old to support our brothers without land. Let my third brother and I, who are not married, go to the army to make a living by ourselves, and the family can also More money and food subsidies."

Hearing this, the girl was stunned.

She suddenly felt that the candied haws in her hand that she wanted to throw away became very heavy.

After being silent for a while, she finally asked, "Mobei, it's far away, right? If we go... when will we return?"

"I heard from the military master who recruited soldiers that if there is no war, it will be five or six years long or three to five years. Hmm... I think it's best to catch up with the war, and when I earn rank seven military merits and save enough I’ll come back after begging for the mother-in-law’s money.”

"You, you went to the military pawn to beg for a wife?! You, you have no shame!"

"Huh? Cixiu, Cixiu!"

Ignoring the shouts behind her, the girl ran back home with the unfinished candied haws.

...

In the boudoir, the latest clothes are ready.

The girl lay down listlessly by the side of the long table, yelling at the veiled Drunken Immortal in front of her, muttering curses in her mouth.

"You shameless little thing! What's wrong with people wanting to beg for a wife? They never said to be your lover, why are you so angry?"

The poor Drunken Immortal was shaken by the wind and rain with his slender fingers, but he kept standing up again - just like a thread of love that can't be shaken off in a girl's heart.

The next day, on the way into the palace, the girl saw the boy again.

It's just that this time the boy was not waiting for her, but stuck in front of a blacksmith's shop.

"If you don't have the money to buy a complete set of armor, what are you going to do to recruit soldiers? Hurry up, I'm not a place for ordnance. The cheapest set of armor is 3,000 yuan. When will you save enough? When do you want to go again?" It's about recruiting soldiers!"

Looking at the boy who was thrown out, the girl bit her lip.

in the palace.

Looking at the white long-sleeved dress that fluttered like a fairy, the imperial concubine was very satisfied.

But seeing the girl's preoccupied face, she suppressed her joy, and said strangely: "Cixiu, but who offended you?"

"Ah," the girl came back to her senses, "No, Ma'am."

"Then why are you morose?"

The girl lowered her head, and after a while, she raised it up again: "My Lady, today I want to ask you for a reward."

"You ghost girl, what object did you fall in love with?"

"I want three layers of armor for the upper body, thighs, and shins, and a helmet. A twelve stone crossbow, fifty arrows, a Mo knife head, and a dagger handle."

Hearing this strange request for reward, the noble concubine was stunned: "You are a girl, what do you want these fierce beasts to do?"

Facing this question, the girl did not answer, but continued to salute stubbornly.

"That's all. God knows what kind of demonic wind you have, come here." The imperial concubine waved her hand.

"Ma'am."

"Go, inform the imperial army and prepare what she asked for."

"yes."

...

On the noisy street, the boy is still waiting on the girl's only way.

But this time, he didn't bring candied haws.

Seeing the girl staggering towards her with a big package on her back, sweating profusely, the boy rushed to meet her.

"Cixiu, what are you holding? Why is it so heavy?"

"snort!"

The girl glared at the boy fiercely, seeing that his hands were empty, curled her lips, and stretched out her hand: "Where's my candied haws?"

"Ah," the young man felt embarrassed: "I came here today to tell you about this matter, I may have to break my promise... recruiting soldiers must bring their own three-layer armor and weapons, I... I can't buy candied haws for you in the future Yes. I want to save money."

"Save up money to buy armor and weapons, so that you can go to your Mobei and earn money as a wife?"

Facing the girl's questioning, the boy bared his teeth and smiled.

Looking at the bustling crowd around her, the girl snorted softly, and pointed to the package on the ground, "Go, find a secluded place to talk!"

"oh,"

In the alley, the boy blinked suspiciously, "Cixiu, what are you trying to say when you dragged me here?"

The girl lowered her head, staring at the big package, mustering up her courage amidst the boy's doubts.

"this is for you."

"For me?"

The boy opened the package suspiciously, and saw the armor and weapons of the imperial army inside, his eyes shone with joy.

"Where did you get it?"

"Don't worry about it!" The girl turned around shyly, "With these things, you can earn your rank seven military merits, right?"

"Hmmmm!"

"These things are given to you by me, and they are considered as my daughter's support. After earning enough rank seven military merits, you have to marry me when you come back!"

The girl closed her eyes and shouted out the words that were pent up in her heart.

The boy froze.

Seeing that the person on the opposite side didn't respond to her explicit indication, the girl stomped her feet resentfully, and ran away covering her blushing face.

Behind him, the young man scratched his head while holding the gleaming stock armor.

Looking at the girl's back, he shouted.

"I just wanted to marry you!"

...

The boy wore the three-layer armor of body, thigh and shin given by the girl, wielded a twelve-stone crossbow, carried fifty arrows, carried a sword, wrapped three days of food, and ran with a heavy load. I ran a hundred miles from dawn to noon, and passed the recruitment.

It didn't take long to get a military order that the army was about to go out.

Still on that long street, the boy bought candied haws with all the money he had saved during this period.

The bright red candied haws are inserted on the long pole wrapped in sackcloth, like a small tree with candied haws branches.

Coming out of the palace, the girl was in a complicated mood when she saw the boy in bright armor with a smirk on his face.

"Got to go?"

"Um!"

The long silence made the boy feel inexplicably indebted. He stretched out the candied haws he was holding like a knife in front of the girl, "Here, this is for you. You can eat as much as you want, don't say I'm dishonest!"

Looking at the big clump of candied haws, the girl raised her little foot and kicked it fiercely: "Idiot!"

The young man was in pain, but he was not angry. He just wiped the small footprints on his greaves and continued to smirk.

The girl sighed, took out an object from the belt, and stuffed it into the boy's hand, "Here, this is for you."

"What is this?" Looking at the white hair-like strands in his hand, the boy's eyes widened.

"It's silk."

"Silk? What do I want this thing for? Can I eat it if I'm hungry?"

"Idiot! Don't talk! When I was young, my favorite thing was to watch my mother spin silk. A small cocoon can pull out very long silk. Do you know how long the longest one is?"

"..."

"Why are not you talking?"

"You won't let me."

"..."

The girl was so angry that her eyes widened, and after a long time of anger, she felt that she might just get a smirk in exchange for it, so she had to give up.

"Forget it, you fool. Let me tell you, the longest silk I've ever seen is as long as a thousand feet!"

Seeing the exaggerated gestures of the girl, the boy let out a wow.

"So long?!"

"That's right. Here, the current one is a thousand feet long silk. Although, although it is not as far as where you went, but..."

"but what?"

"Oh, forget it, you can't understand even if I tell you."

The girl blushed and let out a long sigh, pulled the silk bound with red thread out of the boy's hand, and stuffed it into his body armor.

"Take it well, don't lose it!"

"Hmmmm!"

"Go, hurry up and earn enough military merit, come back quickly!"

"oh…."

Wiping the silk from the armor, the boy nodded, gave the girl a newly learned military salute, and after showing another smirk, he turned and left.
