Chapter 52: The Chinese Valentine's Day Has Not Passed (7)

Enough laughter, she and Jiang Lang and Qi Qing also have a deeper understanding. They estimated the time, it was time for the meal, the city gate was about to close, and there should be a lot fewer pedestrians on the road. Looking down from the window, she knew last time that this room was located near the end of the second floor, and it was even more unobtrusive than the last one when viewed from the bottom, but it had an excellent view from the top. Whether it is the entrance of Moxiang Building, or the stairs on the other side, or even the entire lobby on the first floor, it can be said that every corner is in full view. At this time, you can see a long queue downstairs, and there are many diners waiting to eat. Now that they have eaten, they should make room for others to eat as soon as possible.

Because she got the lottery head of Moxianglou for one year free last time, she went downstairs directly with the four of them.

When the old shopkeeper saw them coming down the stairs, he immediately came up to them, and personally escorted them to the gate, beckoning them to come often.

As she was leaving, she heard a queue of people immediately behind her come up to ask. But the old shopkeeper replied that he asked them to be calm, for there were no available places to be vacant. Only then did she realize that the private room upstairs was for the exclusive use of the royal family. It's not specially reserved for her, but she can enjoy it as a royal daughter-in-law. Hawkers, married all of them, this benefit is also what she deserves.

There are indeed many fewer pedestrians on the street, but the merchants on the street are still enthusiastically greeting customers. Apparently she had just forgotten to inquire about what kind of festival was being celebrated on the street?

"Pear, do you know what festival is being celebrated on this street?" If you don't understand, you have to ask, she has amnesia, and she is not afraid to make a few maids laugh.

Lizi immediately replied, "Miss, this is celebrating the Qixi Festival." ”

"Tanabata? Isn't it supposed to be the seventh day of the seventh month of July, and how can it be celebrated for seven days as soon as it is celebrated?"

Lizi explained to her in more detail: "Da Qian'er is the Linghai National Calendar, and it is also the seventh day of the seventh month of the Gregorian calendar, but the time in the capital of our country has always been calculated according to the Chongyang National Calendar. Originally, it was counted as the first day of January in the first year of the Linghai National Calendar from the date of the completion of the capital of Chongyang Kingdom, which was more than a month later than the Gregorian calendar. In this way, although today is the second day of the ninth month of my Chongyang national calendar, most of the festivals are still in accordance with the days of the Gregorian calendar, and today is only the thirteenth day of July in the Gregorian calendar. And the Qixi Festival does only need to be celebrated for one day, and celebrating seven days in a row is also a special case in my Chongyang National Capital. My Chongyang country covers a vast area, and there are tens of millions of peasant households outside the capital, and the outermost ones have to walk for a day and a night to reach the gate of the capital. And our country is strong, and every festival is celebrated lively. Some of the smaller affiliated countries in the vicinity are also happy to join in the fun. But even if they set off early, if something goes wrong on the way, the day they arrive at the capital of our country may be a day or two late, and if they miss the Chinese Valentine's Day, won't they be disappointed?"

Listening to Riko say this, she has basically figured it out.

At this time, Jiang Lang said with a strange face: "Miss lost her memory when she was young, but do you know what the Qixi Festival celebrates?"

She glanced at Jiang Lang and nodded angrily. She still knows this, isn't it just like the modern February 14th, Valentine's Day.

Jiang Lang smiled even more strangely: "Every festival, my Chongyang Kingdom has always celebrated, and the merchants have tried their best to throw out colorful heads to attract people to buy. But why is it that the Qixi Festival alone attracts people from other countries to participate, and later it has developed to celebrate for seven days in a row. The so-called marriage contract, the words of the matchmaker of the parents' order. But every Qixi Festival, the ladies in the boudoir and the middle-aged men who want to be in the empty window of the weak crown also go to the street to find their hearts and minds in person. If the two are happy, they will exchange information such as names, surnames, families, and birthdays. Later, the parents of both sides will check that they are satisfied one by one, and they will officially make a dowry and choose a day to win the bride. To put it bluntly, this annual Qixi Festival is the best occasion for talented and beautiful people to go on a blind date. And it's just one day, it's inevitable to look away, if you can choose slowly for a few more days, it's the best. Miss, you can take a closer look, most of those people from outside the city are also young and middle-aged men and women who have not left the cabinet or are not married. They came all the way to make this trip, not just to join in the fun. Since my Chongyang country is a big country, there are not a few men and women who want to get married here. Even men from other countries who have a solid family background, most of them are business travelers, and they are not willing to intervene, but if they can marry a good wife in our country, it will be more convenient for him to do business with our country. ”

She glanced at the passers-by a little carefully, indeed, most of them were young and middle-aged men and women, and while they were shopping, they kept looking at the people next to them, and the purpose was very obvious.

Speaking of which, she realized that if she usually walked on the streets, it would be difficult for her to see that some business travelers from other countries were dressed the same as their own people. Today it was different, and by what they were wearing, she could tell at a glance which ones were foreign and which were locals. Not only can she see it, but anyone can see it. Therefore, some of the men and women who looked at her talented and beautiful women obviously glanced at each other, and their eyes were slightly amazed, but they quickly turned their gaze. It was precisely because they both saw that the other party was not from Chongyang that they didn't consider it at all.

If you look closer, it's not just nationality status. These young men and women with a clear purpose also did their best to show off their family from the beginning, and it was also easy for others to distinguish them. Naturally, it is highlighted in the clothing, jewelry, and even a few attendants. These outsiders are not casual, as long as they are in Chongyang Kingdom, anyone can look at them. If the man shows his strength, he is telling the woman that he does not want to plug the door. And the woman is the most important thing to dress up carefully, beauty is their most advantageous bargaining chip, if they are still well-off, it is also so that the poor man does not have to be amorous, that is, the man of the rich family wants to ask for another concubine, but also weigh himself, don't be easy to please boring.

Hey, there are so many doorways here. But what does it have to do with her?

Meizi suddenly pulled her sleeve, and looked at Meizi's line of sight, and there was really a man from another country looking at her. She saw that the other party was also well-eyed and well-dressed, with several family members behind her. Why can't he think about it, staring at her for a moment?

"Let's go in and pick out two pairs of jewelry. "Not far away is the Glass Pavilion. She looked at the other shops with men and women, and the atmosphere made her look uncomfortable. It's better to still have a glass pavilion, if there are really good things, she can also hide directly behind her, and ask Jiang Hong to take it in and choose it herself.

The most important thing is that she was stared at by men from other countries and fled.
