Bright sunshine, blue weather, white clouds, light breeze, lush and beautiful mountains in the distance, standing there safely, two eagles soaring among the high mountains and white clouds, occasionally a few long and crisp chirps, people can't help but look up. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Gu Xinghua stood under the hall, looking at the blue sky in the courtyard, not knowing what he was thinking. The originally frowning brows slowly eased, and finally disappeared, as if he had figured it out.
Gu Desheng sat on the Taishi chair in the hall and savored the tea in his hand. He doesn't ask much about Hua Ge'er's affairs now, after all, the child is also older and has his own thoughts and ideas, all he can do is to guide and explain, as long as the child does not go the wrong way, he supports the child's decision.
Gu Xing'an ran over from the backyard with an excited face, completely ignoring the quiet atmosphere in the hall, "Grandpa, you really don't go to the temple fair with us? ”
Gu Desheng took a sip of tea and looked at Brother An, who was excited, "Just a few of your brothers and sisters, there are too many people and it's very noisy, just take care of your sister." ”
Gu Xinghua had already walked to his grandfather's side at this time, and while adding water to his grandfather, he said with a smile: "Grandpa, don't worry, I will take care of my younger brothers and sisters." ”
"Grandpa, don't worry, I will never let my little sister lose a hair. Gu Xing'an nodded, and patted his chest to reassure.
When Gu Sisi came over with the wolf dogs Mo Feng and Mo Er, he didn't listen to the whole conversation, and looked at his grandfather and two elder brothers, so he was a little curious, "What are you talking about?"
Gu Desheng looked at his granddaughter, and then glanced at Brother An, "I didn't say anything, just said that you will go to the temple fair later, and let you keep an eye on your brother, don't see food and can't walk, and eat less cold food." ”
"Grandpa, why can't I walk when I see food, how can I be like that! That's not what you said just now!" Gu Xing'an listened to his grandfather's words and muttered in a low voice. Although his voice was a little quieter, Gu Desheng still heard it clearly, "Ahem!" "Okay, just remember what you said." Hurry out and let me, old man, be quiet. ”
"Eh, grandpa!" In the face of his grandfather who loves to sarcastically mock him, Gu Xing'an was even more helpless, and when he wanted to say something, he heard Mu Haoyan's voice sound, "Xing'an, Xing'an, are you all right, my dad just went to the town, and said to take a few of us by the way, hurry up!" Mu Haoyan shouted while looking excited, and when he saw Grandpa Gu sitting on the Taishi chair, he immediately smiled obediently and said hello: "Hello grandpa, grandpa drinks tea, grandpa, are you going to get old?"
Gu Xing'an looked at his friend with a slightly embarrassed expression, and laughed unkindly, Gu Desheng glanced at his grandson, and then looked at Mu Haoyan, who was still babbling just now, and now he is well-behaved and sensible, "Haoyan is good, grandpa won't join in the fun with a few of you, you go play, pay attention to safety." “
Gu Xinghua took his younger brothers and sisters out of the house under Mu Haoyan's anxious expression under the advice of his grandfather again. Because there were too many people at the temple fair, and Mo Feng and Mo Er were too big, Gu Sisi didn't take them out today, and as for the leopard cat Lightning, he entered the mountain from the bamboo forest early in the morning, and he didn't know where to go to explore.
Goodsheng didn't see a few children anymore, so he called Mo Feng and Mo Er in, turned around and closed the door, and went back to the hall.
Over there, Qi Zhenze was about to tell his grandfather that he was going to enter the mountain with Arnold today, but before he went out, he saw his uncle walking in. "Uncle, are you back, are you tired? Do you want me to help?" Qi Tianlin took the tea poured by his nephew, took a big sip, and then said: "No, no, when the wood, bricks and tiles are ordered, you will help when the time comes." Were you just going out?"
Qi Zhenze looked at the uncle who was concerned about him, and replied with a smile: "Well, I want to go to the mountains to have a look, I haven't been back for too long, and I'm a little worried." “
"In this way, if you go into the mountain, do you want to bring Mofeng and Mo'er, I saw that little girl just now, this Tanabata, there is a temple fair in the town, and they seem to have gone to the temple fair. Although Qi Tianlin said that he had entered the mountain once, he was still unfamiliar with the mountain, and he must consider the safety of his nephew, after all, there are many dangers in the mountains and forests.
"Oh, I originally wanted to go and tell my grandfather first, and then go to pick up Mofeng and Mo'er, if that's the case, then I can go tomorrow. Qi Zhenze wanted to pick up Mo Feng and Mo Er early in the morning, but looking at the little girl's happy expression, he planned to say it later, who knew that there was a temple fair today, this Qixi temple fair, he really hadn't been there once.
The Yuelao Temple in Xiyuan Town is located in the south of the town, far away from the residential area and the main street, and the surrounding area is relatively quiet. Every year on the day before the Chinese Valentine's Day, the area around the Yuelao Temple will become very lively, with all kinds of stalls selling food and juggling.
Simple brown door wall, several smooth and somewhat uneven bluestone steps, the building of Yuelao Temple is not like other temples and Taoist temples, there are no yellow walls and tiles, there is no majestic, and there is no brilliant, solemn and solemn halls, just a simple and ordinary courtyard, but with a little human touch.
There is a hundred-year-old acacia tree standing in front of the Yuelao Temple, the round huge canopy, the mottled tree pattern can see the vicissitudes it has experienced, the branches and leaves are lush and green, and the red ropes entwined between the towering branches are fluttering in the wind, which is full of feelings.
The Yuelao Temple is also called the Yuelao Temple, the Yuelao Palace, as the name suggests, it is the Yuelao that is enshrined in it. The old moon, according to legend, is the old man under the moon who is in charge of secular marriage, holding red silk in one hand, hanging the marriage book with a cane in the other, with a childish face and crane hair, galloping in the smoke and fog.
The Yuelao Temple in Xiyuan Town is enshrined in such a statue, the Yuelao is kind and kind-eyed, white-haired and white-bearded, and there are two childish and vivid boys and girls standing beside him.
The scorching sun, the crowd of people, the lively scene, Gu Sisi looked at the stout and old acacia tree in front of her, and felt a little emotion in her heart, she had not been to this Yuelao Temple before she was reborn, so she was full of curiosity about this temple. Before she was reborn, she didn't meet a good marriage, but after she was reborn, it became a wish for her to have a good marriage.
In "Dream of Red Mansions", it is said: "A thousand miles of marriage are tied by a thread." There is an old man under the moon who is in charge of marriage, and he is destined to secretly only use a red silk to stumble the feet of these two people, and with your two families across the sea and the country, if there is a feud, there will be a chance to become a husband and wife after all. …… If the old man under the moon is not tied by a red thread, he will not be able to go to one place again. ”
Gu Sisi looked at the crowd around him, especially those young men and women in pairs, they came together, either boldly arm-in-arm, shoulder to shoulder, or kept a subtle distance between men and women, just looking at the knowing smile, one look at each other, you know that you have each other, or a young girl with a young heart, a widow who admires a couple......
There is no laughter, no noise, every believing man and woman will sincerely kneel in front of the old man, pray for incense, pray for signs, wish marriage come true, wish to have a good couple, tie a red rope on the acacia tree, that is the intoxicating prayer, beautiful longing and yearning.
