#1184 - Peach Garden
If anyone else said this, it definitely wouldn't be allowed.
The peaches in the Peach Orchard are prepared for the Peach Banquet.
The ordinary civil and military officials of the Celestial Court in the Primordial World can only wait for the Peach Banquet if they want to eat peaches.
Otherwise, if Zhang San comes to ask for a few peaches today, and Li Si comes to ask for a few tomorrow,
before the Peach Banquet even starts, the peaches in the Peach Orchard would already be used up.
Then what kind of Peach Banquet would that be? Letting everyone eat air?
There are exceptions to everything, and it's the same here in the Peach Orchard.
Venus is a favorite of Haotian, and everyone wants to curry favor with him.
For someone like that, even if he came to ask for peaches once, even if he came every day,
the seven fairies managing the Peach Orchard would have to serve him, and not only that, but they would even welcome Venus's arrival very much.
Hearing Venus's words, the eldest fairy said to the other six fairies: "Sisters, hurry up and pick peaches for Lord Venus."
"Choose the peaches with the best appearance."
Venus said: "Then I'll have to trouble you all."
The eldest fairy said to Venus: "It's our honor to serve Lord Venus."
After a pause, the eldest fairy continued: "Please also find an opportunity in the future to say a few good words for us sisters in front of the Heavenly Emperor."
This is the eldest fairy's real purpose; there is no free lunch in the world.
When you want to obtain certain privileges, you must also pay something in exchange.
The eldest fairy opened a back door for Venus, so Venus naturally has to reciprocate.
Venus said, unperturbed: "Don't worry, eldest fairy, I will definitely say a few good words for you in front of His Majesty if I have the opportunity."
While the two were talking, the peaches had already been picked.
Venus looked at the exquisitely packaged peaches in front of him, a smile appearing on the corner of his mouth: "The fairies are very thoughtful, I'll take my leave now!"
This is a matter of detail. Just now, Venus said he wanted to pick peaches to give away, and these fairies directly packaged them, their handling of interpersonal relationships is truly perfect.
The seven fairies of the Peach Orchard said to Venus: "Farewell, Lord Venus!"
Venus took the exquisitely packaged peaches and muttered to himself: "This saves me the effort of packaging them. It seems I have to find time to give these seven capable fairies some benefits."
Venus left the Primordial Heavenly Court and headed towards Flower Fruit Mountain in Aolai Country, Eastern Victory Divine Continent...
In the Hall of Celestial Supremacy.
Haotian was patiently waiting for Venus to bring the monkey back when he saw the message jade pendant in his arms light up.
Taking out the message jade pendant, Haotian said: "Old Qin? What does he want from me?"
His divine sense probed into it, and Haotian said: "Old Qin, you haven't appeared for so many years, what's the matter this time?"
Qin Buyi said: "Haotian, are you planning to recruit a monkey to the Primordial Heavenly Court?"
Haotian was stunned for a moment and said: "The news spreads so fast... The meeting just ended on my side, and you already know the news?"
Qin Buyi said: "Would you believe me if I said I guessed it?"
Haotian then remembered that Qin Buyi came from reversing time and space, so it's not surprising that he knows this kind of thing.
Haotian said: "Do you believe yourself when you say that?"
Qin Buyi didn't waste words with Haotian and said directly: "I want to go to the Primordial Heavenly Court with the monkey. You arranged a position as弼马温 (bi ma wen) for the monkey, so arrange a job for me as well."
Haotian: "......"
What the hell is this? Qin Buyi actually wants to come to his Primordial Heavenly Court and wants him to arrange a job.
What job to arrange? Haotian just wanted to find a monkey to relieve his boredom when he was bored.
Qin Buyi, such a mysterious existence who can reverse time and space, is also coming to the Heavenly Court?
That's not just relieving boredom, that's called excitement!
Honestly, Haotian doesn't want such excitement.
Haotian said to Qin Buyi with some caution in his tone: "Old Qin, tell me the truth, what are you doing in my Primordial Heavenly Court?"
Qin Buyi said: "Do you want to hear the truth or the lie?"
Haotian said: "Tell me both, and I'll analyze it myself."
Qin Buyi said: "The truth is that I just want to be with the monkey, so he won't be wronged in your Primordial Heavenly Court."
Haotian said: "The monkey will be wronged in my Primordial Heavenly Court? Are you kidding me!"
"What about the lie?"
Qin Buyi said: "That's not certain. As for the lie, what's so great about your broken Primordial Heavenly Court? Look at how cautious you are."
"Could it be that I can still go to your Peach Orchard to steal peaches?"
Haotian said: "Oh~ you reminded me of this. After you come, I have to strengthen the defense of the Peach Orchard, so you don't steal my peaches!"
Qin Buyi said: "Stop talking nonsense, just tell me what kind of job to arrange for me."
Haotian said: "Since you know that the monkey has been arranged to be a 弼马温 (bi ma wen), why don't you be a 弼马温 (bi ma wen)?"
Qin Buyi said with a black line on his face: "Change the job, I won't do this 弼马温 (bi ma wen) thing."
At any rate, he, Qin Buyi, is also the Lord of the Heavenly Court in the Era of the Heavens, and running to the Primordial Era to be a horse-raising 弼马温 (bi ma wen) is not purely a laughing stock?
Haotian pondered for a moment and said: "It's really not suitable for you to be a 弼马温 (bi ma wen), how about this, how about you guard the Peach Orchard?"
"Anyway, you came to my Primordial Heavenly Court to play, and positions with good-sounding official titles have to do practical things, and I guess you don't have that much time to busy yourself with those things."
"It's better to guard the Peach Orchard, I think it's quite suitable."
Qin Buyi said: "Aren't you afraid that I'll steal your peaches now?"
Haotian said: "How much are those peaches worth? It just takes a longer time to cultivate them."
"If you really steal all the peaches, my Peach Banquet will be changed to a Monkey Killing Banquet!"
"At that time, the monkeys of Flower Fruit Mountain will be caught one by one... and killed one by one in front of you and Wukong, let's see what you can do."
Qin Buyi was silent for a moment and said: "Haotian, you're quite ruthless."
Haotian said: "Hehe, tit for tat."
Speaking of this, Haotian's tone suddenly carried a bit of impropriety:
"There are seven beautiful fairies in the Peach Orchard, if you go to take care of the Peach Orchard, you will be blessed in the future!"
"Of course, small-scale messing around is allowed, but you can't turn my Peach Orchard into a place like an entertainment venue."
"If you really take a fancy to one of those seven fairies, or all of them, I'll pack them all up and give them to you."
"Am I generous, Old Qin!"
Qin Buyi said with a black line on his face: "Haotian, you're not generous, you're a little silly about this."
"What are you talking about, still messing around on a small scale, messing around with a peach!"
"Keep those seven fairies for yourself, I don't want them."
Haotian heard Qin Buyi's words and said: "Old Qin, you're such an unromantic guy!"
"Alas~ I'm doing this for your own good, how can you treat me like this."
Qin Buyi got goosebumps all over his body and said: "Stop, stop, stop! Don't disgust me so much."
