Chapter 67: Shangsi
After meeting with Wu Yue in Tianmu Fang, a few people took a car to Guixu Lake, Lu Rong had to go to school first like Yan Wu Yue because he wanted to participate in the competition between the Music Art Club and Jiyue Academy, and he couldn't go to the same road as Yan Qi Wuyue.
In addition to tourists, there are also those who want to take advantage of the festival to make a big profit, and all of them carry the burden and lead the horses to the places where there are rivers and lakes, and those who sell pulp drinks, cakes, candies, omnivorous snacks, colored kites, orchid flowers, rouge and gouache, handkerchief, light charcoal, and even children and daughters all go to join in the fun.
Wu Yue also sat in Cui Xi's car, and Yan Qi and Yan Qi watched the excitement in front of the car window, and Cui Xi only looked at her and smiled.
Away from the residential area, the field of vision gradually broadened, the grass is like a mat, the green willow is like a curtain, there is a blue sky and green water in the distance, there are birds and flowers nearby, the grand scenery in March is picturesque, the girl in the painting is dressed and makeup, and the young man is high-spirited. However, Shangsi is not only a festival for young people, the old man holds his grandson, the husband and wife hold arms, laugh and laugh, there is also a lively, there are more rich people with prostitutes to have fun, the poor have a breeze on their sleeves, still wandering in the landscape, people in front of nature, there is always no distinction between high and low.
There are also take advantage of the day to visit the places of interest, such as the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Yan family, go to the Holy Mother Mountain to burn incense is on the one hand, by the way, you can also linger in the spring scenery in the mountains, there are also the bridges, the towers, the Danlou Yuyu, and even the incense temple fair, a hundred juggling in it, and there is the Jiayuan Wonder Garden built by the imperial court appropriation, in the rare birds and flowers, hanging words and paintings, furnishing antiques, usually only for the dignitaries to enter and exit, but today it is also open to ordinary tourists to enjoy and play, but where there is such a place, the nearby tea shop and wine stand will be set up outside the scaffolding, people eat, drink, laugh, enjoy the world。
The geographical environment of Kyoto is more bizarre, the north mountain and the south field, the west forest east lake, the lake and the confluence of the dragon river that runs through the whole country, so that the north and south water sources are all through here, just such a convenience, and according to the feng shui of this dynasty can be designed by the law, the builder will introduce the water in the lake into the city, so that there are four large rivers in the city, four large lakes, and also extend a number of small rivers in the city, in the city crisscrossing the country, and there is always a good scenery in the place where there is living water, it is to be full of the city, nowhere can it become a place to seek pleasure in spring.
Along the way, you can see the tourists who sit on the ground to have fun, or sit under the ancient trees to drink for fun, or gather on the side of the embankment to watch the fish for fun, some people do not like to crowd the excitement with others, so they drag friends to occupy a lawn, lay down a thick blanket, or wild drink, or play cards, or guess the riddle, or gamble, and there are also grass fighting, flower fighting, cockfighting, duck fighting, eagle flying, tug-of-war, juju, wrestling, gaming, horse racing, archery, swinging, kite flying, listening to storytelling, listening to singing, watching juggling, playing musical instruments, etc., etc., such a lively, it is really impossible to describe one of them。
Of course, this is also indispensable to the most traditional way of amusement in the Shangsi Festival: Qushui Liuzhen. Compared with the last time in Cui Xi's house, everyone played the kind of poetry and drinking game, the one played by the public is much simpler and rude, directly put the wine glass upstream and drink it downstream, and put boiled poultry eggs into the water, and put the upstream and downstream to eat, this is called "Qushui floating eggs", and there are also dates, called "Qushui floating jujubes", in short, it is eating and drinking, and by the way, men and women take this opportunity to pass autumn waves to each other, flirt and have fun.
There is still some distance from Guixu Lake, this road is already so lively that it is almost impassable, and I don't know which local tyrant, dispatched more than a dozen large carriages, in order to tie up the colored silk, forming a colorful building, there are singers and dancers performing in public, and there are wind strings blowing and singing, there are large groups of people watching the excitement under the car, the road is blocked, all rely on the horses in front of them to pull hard, and the people behind are pushing with all hands and feet, only to reluctantly move forward slowly in the crowd of people, forming a huge spring outing team.
It was easy to pass through many obstacles, and finally saw Guixu Lake from a distance, the carriage was really difficult to move forward, Yan Qi and the three had to get out of the car and walk over, and the girls carried the spare various things, and the group walked through the green poplars and weeping willows, stepped across the lawn of Fangpu, and walked to the shore of the lake with a smile.
The lawn by the lake has been occupied by people early, and there are many young men who roll and play in it with a large curtain made of oilcloth, and there are also those who take off their red skirts and hang them up to form a circle of hooves to cook and laugh in it, then they are all girls, this is a custom passed down from the Tang Dynasty, called "hanging skirts", of course, the girls must be wearing other clothes that can be worn outside in this red skirt, otherwise everyone can't play in this tent with bare thighs in broad daylight, then your thoughts towards the women are too big.
Yan Qi and the three of them looked for a crooked neck willow tree along the embankment, and a group of young men were playing willow shooting by the tree, and the game was also very interesting, that is, the pigeon was put in the gourd, and then hung on the willow tree, standing far away, shooting the gourd with a bow, and shooting the pigeon inside, and the pigeon flying high to determine the victory.
I can play, the ancients are so good at playing.
"Crooked neck willow tree ......" Wu Yue stood speechlessly in front of the rows of trees, pointing forward, "Which willow tree do you tell me that the neck is not crooked?"
"That's it," Yan Qi turned to his little guys, "Do you know how to stack Arhats?"
The little guys should "will".
Yan Qi asked Boiling Yu to take out a peach blossom pink silk from the spare clothes he had brought, and handed it to one of the servants: "Fold up the arhats, and the top one wraps this tapestry around the willow branches and wraps it into the shape of a swallow." ”
It's like drawing a swallow with a stroke, the little guy was still a little embarrassed at first, Yan Qi drew twice on the ground and taught him how to wrap it, and it was also understood, a few little guys carried and stepped on the ground to fold up arhats under the tree, and just after the fold was finished, I heard someone shouting nearby: "Come and see Hey!
The crowd: "......"
Tie the tassel on the top, and the bright pink color is lined with green willows, which is also conspicuous, so there is no hurry, since it is the last festival, you have to respond to the custom with water, Wu Yueyanqi squatted on the shore with Cui Xi, and took the bluegrass bought on the road and dipped it in the very clear lake water and brushed it a few times.
Although the spirit of entertainment of these three is lacking, the people next to them are much happier, a group of girls on the left of the three, a group of boys on the right, two groups of people first honestly hold the grass to "clean", and after a while, they don't know how to giggle and hitch, you tease me, I sweep you, you come and I go back and forth for more than a dozen rounds, and quickly play in one place, and the blue grass also threw away his hand, and directly splashed each other with hand water.
This is the Shangsi Festival, not the Songkran Festival!
The three cannon fodder in the middle were also carefully dipped in water with blue grass, and they had already been wet by the left and right pockets.
"Are these people interesting? how old are they still playing this!" The three of them retreated far from the shore, and Wu Yue took a handkerchief to wipe the water on his face and complained.
"The drunkard doesn't mean to drink. Cui Xi said with a smile.
"Sure enough, it's 'between the mountains and rivers'!" Wu Yue sighed without finding the right point.
Cui Xi laughed, and didn't explain anymore, the three of them hid away and watched two groups of young men play wrestling for a while, wrestling is also a serious entertainment and competitive event for the ancients, there is also a wrestling club in the academy, and they still have to learn in fitness classes, Yan Qi and they will learn it in the second half of the semester.
The two groups of men played with a good look, playing shirtless, regardless of whether they had Tianzi abdominal muscles or not, they all made a very vigorous appearance, and the attack moves such as hooking, sweeping, mixing, and skimming under the soles of their feet were very skillful and flexible, which aroused bursts of applause from the onlookers. Each pair of opponents have to agree on the lottery before they get off the field, some bet on a wine and dinner, some bet on a painting, some bet on diving and swimming as a punishment, and some bet on putting an orchid on the head of a beautiful girl they don't know, in short, it is strange and attractive.
Wu Yue likes to see this the most, pulling Yan Qi to squeeze into the inner circle, Yan Qi is a layman to watch a lively, Wu Yue is an expert, clapping and applauding can always be called to the point, can't help but attract the attention of the brave teenagers in the field, seeing that it is a little girl like a flower, a pair of big eyes like black grapes are extraordinarily energetic, all of them are even more energetic, a new group of contestants gambled before the game, one of them pointed to Wu Yue and smiled and said to the other: "If you lose, let this young lady kick her ass three times, how about it?"
Everyone couldn't help laughing when they heard this, shouting "good", and the other also smiled and nodded in agreement, and deliberately looked at Wu Yue's face with a few meaningful eyes, this is to be replaced by other girls I am afraid that they will run away in shame a long time ago, but Wu Yue's emotional intelligence is not yet civilized, and he is a bold person, and he also smiled when he heard the words: "You can think about it, my three feet are not as good as others, I have energy!"
When everyone heard this, there was another burst of laughter, urging the two to start quickly, the two didn't say much, and instantly squirmed together, grabbed and scrambled together, and each made calculations under his feet, and after the number was combined, one of them was defeated, but there was nothing to be embarrassed about, and walked in front of Wu Yue under the gaze of all the people, saluted first, and said, "Miss be careful of Mo Wei's jade feet", which caused everyone to let out a strange laugh, and then turned around, cat's waist, kicked up his hips, and waited for Wu Yue to get on his feet.
Wu Yuebai picked up a bargain, of course, he had to take advantage of it, and turned to a crowd on both sides - people still had to run. Tengteng, running up and accelerating, jumping in the air, stretching his flying legs, and really hitting the ground on the man's buttocks, the man didn't expect this girl to be so fierce, the feet were not well prepared and not firm, the person flew out at once, jumped out three or four meters before falling to the ground, fortunately the bottom was a thick soft grass, otherwise this time I had to knock off the front teeth.
"Huh-" The onlookers exploded at once, this girl is too fierce! One kick kicked a half-grown strong young man away! How much strength is this? I don't know if this kid's ass can be wanted, but there are still two feet in the back!
Yan Qi looked at Wu Yue speechlessly: "You are too real, he has an enmity with you?"
"Who taught him to make that nasty look and treat me like a delicate flower!" Wu Yue pouted.
The man got up from the grass in a wolf manner, spit out the blades of grass and soil in his mouth, and turned around and glared at Wu Yue in surprise and annoyance: "Miss has a lot of strength, she must have eaten less meat since she was a child, right?!"
But any girl who is said to her face will be a little embarrassed on her face, but who is Wu Yue, Lori's appearance and man's heart, this word is not lethal to people at all, and he smiled and said: "Then are you so weak because you eat less meat, and you were kicked so far by me?"
The onlookers laughed, whistled at the man and brought all kinds of ridicule, the man didn't look good on his face, gritted his teeth and walked back, glared at Wu Yue and said, "There are still two feet, you can be careful." ”
This is a strange thing to say, a person who has been kicked makes people careful, could it be that he still wants to break Wu Yue with a fart?
"Be careful. Yan Qi told Wu Yue, always feeling that this person didn't have any good intentions.
"Yes. Wu Yue snorted and threw a sentence at this person: "If you can't afford to lose, don't bet with others." ”
is still running, jumping, and kicking, but when he saw that the soles of Wu Yue's feet were about to touch the man's buttocks, the man suddenly pushed his hips back - this move is very yin, if Wu Yue unilaterally exerts force, she can also grasp the point and angle of force, this person moves like this, the two forces interact, Wu Yue's calculation is disrupted, and it is easy to be poked at the ankle and even fall down.
Fortunately, Wu Yue was prepared, although he was relieved of part of his strength by this move, he finally kicked this person squarely, and he landed steadily without being injured.
"And one more kick. The posture of this person falling was ugly, and he was teased by the onlookers, his face became more and more unbearable, and he glared at Wu Yue fiercely.
"Forget it. Yan Qi persuaded Wu Yue that he always had to leave a line for others.
Wu Yue was not unforgiving, and was about to turn around and follow Yan Qi to leave when he heard the words, but he was grabbed by the man, and said with a sneer: "It's not okay to leave this time, lest people say that I don't keep my promises, this young lady should finish it with a face, is it possible that she is afraid of kicking your feet too big?"
There is no such thing as binding small feet in the court, but women's big feet are also good at attracting jokes, Wu Yue Xu is because he has practiced martial arts since he was a child, a pair of feet are not too big but not small, this person said this intentionally, and sure enough, everyone turned their attention to Wu Yue's feet under her skirt, and laughter broke out for a while.
No matter how angry Wu Yue is, she is also a girl, how can a girl not love beauty or pretty, when she heard this person say this, she was immediately annoyed, and her temper came up, and she threw Yan Qi, who was still holding her hand, and shouted angrily: "My feet are not big, you will know soon!"
This person still sneered, put on a posture and waited for Wu Yue's third kick, Wu Yue used a brute force, helped run up and jump and fly with a kick, seeing that this foot was about to kick this person's buttocks, but saw that this person's body suddenly tilted to the side, as if he did not stand firmly, he staggered away, where did Wu Yue react, this foot accumulated the momentum of the whole body, slammed into the air, suddenly made a deviation, and the body fell to the ground, fortunately, it was practiced, and when it landed, it was a forward roll to remove the force, Rao was so still poked his foot, and the cold sweat slid down the forehead on the spot。
"You are despicable!" Wu Yue squatted on the ground and covered his feet with one hand, raising his head and angrily scolding the man.
"Tsk, I haven't had time to stand still, who taught you to be so anxious?" the man smirked.
Whether the onlookers saw whether this person was intentional or not, anyway, there was a boo of his coaxing, this person was anxious, blushing and shouting at everyone: "Shut up! What's the matter? Since this woman dares to come forward and accept this kind of color, she must have the courage to take the corresponding risks! It makes no sense that she takes advantage of me in vain, and I have to let her go around! The same father and mother raise a head and four legs, who deserves to endure humiliation and bear the burden more than whom?"
Okay, ignore the four-legged or something, this relationship is still a forerunner of the spirit of equality between men and women?
"Yo, listen to what you mean, is it difficult for an adult girl to fight with you, can you really do it?" Sure enough, some of the onlookers realized the meaning of this person's words, you refused to let women, could it be that men and women are equal and treat them equally? That is to say, if the opponent is a woman, you can do it?
This person is really shameless, with a look of tearing off his face and playing * what can you fools do to me, and laughed: "So what? Who taught her not to be a male fetus, the Buddha said that all living beings are equal, since men and women are the same, if she dares to end, I will dare to fight with all my might!"
"Phew-" Everyone booed, you still "dare to fight with all your might" against women, how can you have the face to say this?!
"Fight is battle!" Wu Yue limped up, she hated men and looked down on women the most in her life, this bastard touched her scales, and she would never swallow this breath even if she died in battle!
