You Were Born a Nobleman, Chapter 26: The Chicken Coop is Behind, Where to Lay the Eggs
Amidst the sound of drums, seven or eight burly men in black rushed in. They quickly spread out a red carpet and then stood on either side of it. Following them, two young attendants in green entered, tossing flower petals into the air as they walked.
Tang Zisu looked at Kong Xuan in confusion. Kong Xuan shook his head, then looked at Lang Ye, who also shook his head. Lang Ye turned to Softy, who shook her head as well, looking back at Tang Zisu with confusion.
As the music reached its climax, signaling the time for burial, and as colorful flower petals floated down, Tang Zisu could hardly hold back tears. A man dressed in pure white, with skin as dark as ebony, slowly walked down the red carpet.
His steps were so vigorous, his posture so upright, and his demeanor so graceful. However, suddenly—bang!—he tripped on the carpet and bent his knee, almost kneeling before Kong Xuan.
With a laugh, Tang Zisu transformed her sorrow into joy, bursting into laughter without any restraint.
The burly men turned pale with fright and rushed forward to help him. In their eagerness, they pushed against each other too hard and ended up piling on top of one another, with the man in white naturally ending up at the bottom.
Wiping her nose and tears while laughing heartily, Tang Zisu exclaimed, "Is this a troupe invited by the clan leader to welcome the goddess? Their performance is fantastic!"
The men scrambled to pull the white-clad man out from beneath them, fixing his hair and brushing off his clothes for quite some time until he looked as stiff and pristine as if he had just been polished.
One of the burly men whispered apologetically to the man in white, "Young Master, this time it went wrong; should we try again?"
The man in white squinted at Kong Xuan and waved his sleeve while tossing his hair back. "Let’s go, go, go—let's keep going!"
The music for the funeral began again, and the man in white walked back, preparing to walk the red carpet once more. A child who was scattering flowers looked troubled and said, "There are no more flowers!"
The person next to him gestured with his mouth, "Who told you to scatter so many at once? Just pick them up."
The Page Boy immediately squatted down to gather the scattered petals along with the dirt into a basket.
As the music played, the man in white made his entrance again, his garments fluttering in the wind, and the flower petals mixed with dust rose into the air. Tang Zisu suddenly felt as if she were witnessing Black Mountain Old Demon getting married and couldn't help but shiver.
Two burly men carried out a large chair carved from rosewood and placed it in the center of the courtyard. The man in white elegantly lifted his robe and sat down.
Little Fish recognized that the visitor was none other than Young Master Zhang Ermao from the Zhang Dahu family. Little Fish clasped his hands together and said, "Young Master Zhang, what brings you here today?"
"What's it to you? Get lost!"
Wow, could you not speak so breathlessly? You scared me to death.
Zhang Ermao chuckled at Kong Xuan, saying, "Divine Lady...”
Seeing Zhang Ermao's flushed face, Tang Zisu felt anxious for him. She frowned and stretched her neck, saying, "Young Master Zhang, please speak slowly."
"I can't slow down! Divine Lady... um... um..."
Kong Xuan smiled slightly and replied, "The chicken coop is behind; go lay your eggs there."
Kong Xuan's smile had already lifted Young Master Zhang into the air, surrounded by clouds of pink. He gaped with drool dripping from his mouth, laughing foolishly and unable to contain himself.
The burly man beside him could no longer bear to watch. He leaned in with a forced smile and whispered in Young Master Zhang's ear, "Flower, aren't you going to send some flowers?"
"Yes, send them up!"
The several big men were already anxious. Upon their master's command, they rushed to the door, each carrying a large bundle of white flowers and placing them in front of Kong Xuan.
Young Master Zhang was quite pleased with himself. He tilted his head and said to Kong Xuan, "Divine Lady, these are flowers for you. Fresh flowers for a beautiful lady, heroes for beautiful ladies, ha ha."
Tang Zisu looked at the scattered flowers on the ground, roots and stems included, and thought to herself that while sending flowers was fine, why did it have to be Little Orange Blossom?
