There is a Yinghe River in Beijing, which is as famous as the Milky Way, and I don't know who came from it, saying that this is the shadow of the natural Milky Way reflected on the ground, and the magpie lantern should be put in the river on the day of Qixi Festival, so that the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl can meet on the magpie bridge.

This is a chisel and a chisel to follow, but the people of Li believe it happily, in fact, it is just an excuse to go out for fun. The daughters and daughters-in-law of every family in Beijing will go to the edge of Yingshui on this day to put magpie lanterns, praying for good fate and harmony between husband and wife.

There is no such custom in Jindi, Ji Cheng thought to himself that these Jingshi girls were really good at playing. Qixi has nothing special in Ji Cheng's heart, when he was young and ignorant, he played crazy with boys, so he naturally didn't do this, and when he grew up, Ji Cheng was racing against time to catch up with the ladies of the family, and he also had to take care of the Ji family's business.

Therefore, the Qixi Festival at the age of fifteen is a very new thing for Ji Cheng.

On the sixth day of the first month, the chime garden has already built a "beggar building" in the court, and when it was not dark on the seventh day of the first month, Shen Qian took the sisters to let people put the incense case on the ground, and laid out Moheluo, flower melon, wine, pen inkstone, needle and thread, etc., and then Ji Cheng followed Shen Qian and others to pray to the star, which is a sacrifice to the cow and the female two stars.

Then Ji Cheng followed Shen Qian and the others to offer the gilded box in his hand to the incense case. There are spiders in this box, which were found by rummaging through the garden yesterday, waiting for the box to be opened tomorrow to check the map net to see if it can be "coincidental".

After these cutscenes, Shen Qian asked the girl to take the love line out again.

Ji Cheng looked at the line of pity puzzled, "Sister Qian, what kind of allusion is this?" ”

Shen Qian said: ""Xijing Miscellaneous" is on the clouds, and it is in Baizichi on July 7, and it is made in Khotan. Lebi, with five colors of bondage, called love, this is the line of love in our hands. ”

Shen Wei also leaned over and said with a smile: "Well, but now it's not that our sisters want to hold each other, but ......" Shen Wei stood on tiptoe and said in Ji Cheng's ear, originally thought that Ji Cheng would definitely be surprised, but he didn't expect Ji Cheng's face to be calm, you must know that when she told Su Yun to listen, Su Yun was so ashamed that her face was red.

Shen Wei muttered, "Sister Cheng, why aren't you surprised at all?" Do you also have such a custom in Jindi? ”

Ji Cheng shook his head, there is no such custom of young boys and girls looking at each other in Qixi in Jindi, they should be a little more direct there, if they see it right, they will take it to the grain and grass pile, anyway, even people like Ji Cheng don't dare to drill into the forest at will, for fear of seeing something that shouldn't be seen.

In fact, the folk customs of Daqin are so civilized, and the will of the Taizu when the founding of the country is also related, this full age of men and women have to get married, but at that time, many people's parents died early, neither the life of their parents, nor the words of the matchmaker, in this case, you can't become a family in the dark light, anyway, everyone is a person who picks up his life in the troubled times, and there is nothing reserved, look at the right eye on the road, hook each other's eyes, this is into the forest, and there are also relatives after the rice is cooked.

In Jindi, this atmosphere is still retained, and the people of Jingshi are Cangli who know etiquette enough, and gradually evolved into a boy and girl can only hook up with each other with the help of festivals such as the Qixi Festival and the Lantern Festival.

But no matter how the atmosphere changes, no one is willing to marry with two eyes, and always wants to find a husband or wife who can make him happy, so the unrestrained tradition of Tanabata and lanterns still flows in the hearts of these girls.

It is both romantic and sweet to tie your sweetheart with your own love thread on the Qixi Festival, but there are a lot of good stories that have been circulated, and the result of the guide zhì is that many outstanding young men will find that there are many needles tied to the back of their robes after returning home after going around on the street.

This is also a helpless thing, there are too many people who like the excellent son, everyone wants to tie them with five-colored wisps, but they are arrogant and reserved, keep dodging, the girls have no choice, they can only wear the needle with the thread, once they get close, the needle is pinned to their robe, this is considered to tie their own love thread, only ask the cowherd and the weaver girl to bless him, so that the love thread can tie his heart over.

As soon as Shen Wei heard that Ji Cheng didn't know, he hurriedly said, "Then Sister Cheng must not have prepared needlework, right?" ”

Ji Cheng shook his head again.

Shen Wei took out the purse he had prepared, and there were at least twenty needles pinned to it, all of which were wearing five-colored wisps, "I'll give you a few." ”

Shen Cui leaned over and said, "Sister Jing, how can you prepare so much?" How many people are you going to tie? ”

Shen Jing puffed out his mouth and said: "I'm just in case, maybe I was the first one I met and I thought it looked good and gave him the needle, but what if I met a better looking one?" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone laughed, and Shen Cui also laughed and spat, "I'm not ashamed." ”

Shen Wei didn't follow, "Hmph, you dare to say that you didn't prepare a needle and thread yourself?" ”

The sisters laughed for a while, and then they were ready to go to Yingshui to put magpie lanterns, which was the highlight of the day.

When Ji Cheng and a few people arrived at the Yingshui bank, the small street on the waterside was already overcrowded, and both sides of the street were full of hawkers, some sold Mohora, and some sold "floating on the water", the floating water is made of yellow wax cast mandarin ducks, turtles and fish and other water things, the most ingenious thing has to count the "grain board", it is a small wooden board with soil, planted with millet grain, giving birth to grain seedlings, and then put a small thatched hut to pretend to be a small courtyard of the Tian family, very cute.

The delicacy and dedication of these gadgets in the land of the capital are far superior to those of the Jin Land, and Ji Cheng's eyes can't be called when he sees it. By the time she walked to the Yingshui side, she had already bought a lot of gadgets.

At this moment, there is almost no place to settle on the bank of Yingshui, standing shoulder to shoulder, just waiting for the bell of Jingyun Temple to ring, all the girls will put the magpie lamp in their hands into the water, at that time the water surface is full of lights, as if it is the Milky Way on the ground, and the beauty of the scenery can be imagined.

Because there was almost no place at the water's edge, Ji Cheng and Shen Cui could only squeeze into the crowd separately, and try to walk as close to the water's edge as possible to put the lights.

Ji Cheng lifted the corner of her skirt, and before she got close to the water's edge, she heard someone exclaim, and then the crowd began to stir, she stood tall and stood on tiptoe to see, as if a few girls were accidentally squeezed into the water, just after everyone was attracted by those girls, Ji Cheng only felt that her head was black, and a cover fell, she was put in a sack, and I don't know what medicine was in the sack, Ji Cheng only felt dizzy, and he didn't even resist a few times, and he lost consciousness.

I don't know if Ji Cheng's foundation is good, or if this medicine just came and went quickly, she was unconscious for a short time, and when she woke up, it was still dark in front of her, only the sound of the wheels rolling in her ears, and the bumps under her body also made her realize that she was in the carriage.

Ji Cheng stretched out her hands and feet, and was relieved to find that the person who kidnapped her did not bind herself, and was about to turn over and get up, but found that she had no strength in her hands and feet, thinking that it was because the medicinal properties had not been over, she bit her tongue to refresh herself, and tried hard to untie the sack.

Unexpectedly, the carriage stopped at this time, and Ji Cheng didn't dare to act rashly, let alone call for help, because she didn't know what was going on outside.

There was a chaotic footstep in his ears, and then Ji Cheng heard a shrill male voice say, "There are new goods so soon?" ”

Another rough male voice said, "Isn't it good to have fresh meat?" ”

A shrill male voice: "That also depends on the color of the goods, my Tianxiang Pavilion doesn't accept everything." ”

Ji Cheng's heart sank after hearing the words "Tianxiang Pavilion", and this name sounded like that kind of place. She silently counted the people she had offended in her heart, and when she thought about it, there were only sisters from the Wang family. And she never expected that the sisters of the Wang family would be so vicious, but it was just an ordinary fight between her daughter's family, and she even used such a poisonous trick to destroy people's innocence.

The rough male voice said: "You can inspect the goods casually, but there is only one requirement, and you will open the buds for them tonight." ”

They? Ji Cheng was startled, who else was there besides her, she reached out and touched it through the sack, and sure enough, she touched another thing.

I only heard the shrill voice and lowered my voice: "What is the origin of this goods?" ”

"You don't care about the origin, you just say whether you dare to ask for Tianxianglou." A rough male voice said.

The shrill voice chuckled, "Then it depends on whether this product is worth it or not." ”

The light that came in through the cracks in the sack suddenly brightened, Ji Cheng knew that this was to inspect the goods, her palms were full of sweat, and her heart was pounding, but her brain was surprisingly calm, because it was not okay not to be calm.

Soon, Ji Cheng felt that someone was untying the rope under her feet, and then felt that the sack was being pulled away from her, she closed her eyes and pretended not to wake up, waiting with bated breath for these people to speak again.

The shrill voice quickly spoke again, "Okay, Mazi, this kind of goods is rare in the world, and the trouble behind must be rare in the world, right?" ”

The person called pockmarked said "hehe", "Don't take it if you don't plant it." ”

"Don't use words to provoke your uncle, let's make a price."

"Two hundred taels, two." Mazi said.

Just two hundred taels sold the rich and captivating lady of the Ji family, Ji Cheng felt a funny and sad mood in her heart, sad that she can't do anything now, even if she escapes, she can't do anything to the Wang family sisters, let alone what if she can't escape?

Ji Cheng hated so much that he wanted to kill, but he was helpless after all. She even thought that if she couldn't take revenge, maybe she really had to think of a way to marry the old emperor and uproot the Wang family.

The deal was quickly negotiated, Ji Cheng was put on the sack again, and then he was carried up, and he didn't know where he was carried to, Ji Cheng heard the sound of opening and closing the door, and heard the humane: "The door is guarded." ”

Ji Cheng stayed quietly for a moment, and only after making sure that there was no sound around her did she quickly lift the sack on her head. Luckily for the misfortune, those people were standing guard outside the door.
