Chapter 147: Qixi Festival (I)
They met a few months ago. On the day of the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info, he went to see a friend in the field at night, and when he came back, he found a comatose woman on the way, and he saw that there was no one around, so he took the woman back to the gang, and found a Lang Zhong to see her doctor. Na Langzhong said that she was fine, but she was malnourished, and she just needed to eat more good supplements. After Lang Zhong left, Ye Wuying arranged for someone to buy some ginseng, stewed ginseng and chicken soup for her to drink every day, and went to visit every day.
The woman gradually regained her strength, and her face became ruddy and shiny, and at this time, Ye Wuying also knew her name. Her name is Duoduo, she lives in Changshou Village, which is 5,000 kilometers away from the capital, just because she came to the capital to visit her relatives, but she didn't expect to be stolen from the entanglement, and her relatives were not found.
Later, after Duoduo recovered, Ye Wuying sent her back to Changshou Village, and since then, he has been a frequent visitor to her home. Every time he came, Duoduo cooked a delicious meal for him, and then they played chess together, chatted together, and recited poems and paintings together. Sometimes, Duoduo played the piano to him, and sometimes, he accompanied her on the swing, and gradually, they became friends who talked about everything, and their relationship became more and more intimate.
Ye Wuying tapped on the door a few times, and after a while, a woman wearing a moon-white wide-sleeved gown came out and opened the door. "Duoduo, it's me." Ye Wuying looked at the woman and smiled. Duoduo saw that it was an old man, and his eyes couldn't help showing surprise: "Why are you here......"
Cheng Cuiying found Meng Fanchen in a small house in the suburbs, and at this time, Meng Fanchen was lying on the bed taking a nap. Cheng Cuiying locked the door for a long time and no one answered, so she pushed the door and entered. I saw a pile of broken things piled up on the ground, so that there was no place to put your feet. Cheng Cuiying sighed softly, thinking to herself, a man without a woman is a mess at home. She gently sorted out the things on the ground and put them in the box at the door, then walked to the side of the bed and gently pushed Meng Fanchen.
Meng Fanchen was sleeping in Zhengxiang, and suddenly felt that someone was pushing him, so he turned over and sat up, rubbed his sleepy eyes, opened his mouth and yawned, and then said lazily: "Who?" β
"It's me, Xiaofan." Cheng Cuiying sat there and looked at Meng Fanchen quietly.
"Why are you here?" As soon as he heard Cui Ying's voice, Meng Fanchen suddenly sobered up a lot.
"I've come to talk to you about us." Cui Ying said slowly.
"Our business?" Meng Fanchen scratched the back of his head and asked confusedly, "What are we doing?" β
"Ever since that jump off the waterfall, I've been faking amnesia and trying to make myself forget the past. But how could I easily forget the bits and pieces we were together. After you left, my mother went to find me my mother-in-law's house, and then my father introduced me to one of his apprentices, and planned to let me marry him. I was worried about how to refuse this marriage, but fortunately the man had already taken a wife. I was secretly glad and came to you. β
"What do you mean......" Meng Fanchen was halfway through his words, stop, he knew what Cuiying wanted to say, but he didn't seem to be ready, besides, even if he was willing, the old man and mother-in-law would not agree. At that time, I knew that I was a man, and my mother-in-law reacted so much, how could I easily agree to their marriage this time? Meng Fanchen was a little overwhelmed by this sudden marriage proposal, so he didn't know how to talk to Cui Ying.
"I want you to go and propose marriage to my father, and say you want to marry me. See what he says? β
"This ...... Will it work? Meng Fanchen had no bottom in his heart, thinking that Cuiying's idea was a little naΓ―ve.
"You go and say, if my father doesn't agree, I'll elope with you." Cui Ying frowned, as if she had made up her mind.
"Private ...... Flee? A trace of doubt flashed in Meng Fanchen's eyes. I thought, Miss everyone, you can only tell jokes. Elope? Which is so easy.
"Yes, I'm not afraid of hardship, I'm not afraid of being tired, as long as I can be with you, I'm willing to do whatever I want." Cui Ying sat there, her eyes a little red.
"Don't worry, let me think about it." Meng Fanchen was worried that Cuiying would cry, so he hurriedly comforted Cuiying.
"This matter has to be considered in the long run, not in the heat of the moment." Meng Fanchen said, but his mind was like a mess. Cui Ying asked him a sharp question, this problem he must face squarely, but what is the best solution? Meng Fanchen was stumped.

It was the seventh day of the seventh lunar month. On this day, there was no peace in heaven and on earth, some people cried, some laughed, and some people couldn't sleep.
Everyone wants to ask, these days are so good, they can't laugh, why are there still people crying? Yes, of course. Everyone is asking again, is there anyone who can't sleep? Isn't it, isn't it just a Qixi Festival, are you so excited? Hehe, don't worry, listen to me tell you slowly.
It is said that the Weaver Girl didn't sleep all night yesterday, because tomorrow is the day he and Dong Lang meet. This year, in addition to spinning and weaving every day, the rest is a deep miss for her husband and children.
She wondered if she hadn't seen her for a year, and the children had grown taller again? Is his Dong Lang still strong? How are they doing? Have you ever starved and froze because you didn't have money to buy rice? Are the few sets of clothes I made for the children last year already small?
These days, she rushed to make it day and night, and made a few sets of clothes and shoes for her husband and children, and I don't know if they are suitable to wear? At night, she took out the clothes and shoes and looked at them, imagining them on them, and the thought of them made her too excited to sleep. Then, keep your eyes open until dawn.
This night, Dong Yong didn't fall asleep. After he put the children to sleep, he sat on the edge of the bed and smoked. Tomorrow is going to see his wife, and this is the only day in the year when husband and wife meet, and he cherishes this moment together. He had prepared a lot of things to say to his wife.
For example, he wants to say that the boss is too naughty, gets into trouble all day long, and does not study well. The second child is a reading material, he reads well, he is also filial, and he knows how to help him share the housework.
He also wanted to say that the old cow of their family gave birth to two calves this year, and the two calves were strong and cute, and he was going to wait for them to grow up, sell one, and then save some money to build a bigger house. The house was so dilapidated that it leaked when it rained, and the gable on the right side was about to collapse.
In addition, he also wanted to tell her that the neighbor's Xiao Hei got married, married a stupid daughter-in-law, and gave birth to a pair of twins, or dragon and phoenix twins! Xiao Hei used to be idle, but now when he looks at a pair of children, his mouth is so happy that he can't close his mouth, and he knows how to work all day long.
He also wanted to say......
There were so many things he wanted to say, and he went through them in his head, for fear of missing one.
The two children's baskets in the yard were no longer needed, and the children had grown up, and this time, he decided to take the two children to their mother. Last year, the clothes she made for her children were a little shorter, but they could be worn for a while longer. He had never been willing to wear his own clothes, and was going to wear them tomorrow when he saw her. He didn't want her to be sad to see him ragged.

The palace ladies were busy preparing for the evening rituals: a number of seven-hole needles, a number of colorful silk threads, a number of incense candles, a number of melons and fruits, and a number of cups, plates and bowls. There are also incense tables, futons, chairs and stools, folding fans, etc., which must be prepared. Even the new clothes of the concubines had to be prepared.
The captured spiders have been released, because it is clear who is dexterous and who is clumsy, and the cobwebs in the box are proof of the good work. The girls only hoped that they would pray to the Weaver Maiden during the evening ritual to grant them wisdom and beauty, kindness and dexterity, and a good marriage.
Although, since the day they stepped into the Forbidden City wall, their bodies belonged to His Majesty the Emperor alone, they still looked forward to a beautiful love in their lives. Because such things are not uncommon. There were once sisters in the palace who wrote poems on the red leaves, and then they were picked up by scholars outside the palace walls, and finally achieved a good story of a beautiful marriage. Therefore, they hope that such luck will also come to them.
His Majesty the Emperor straightened his waist after reading the recital. He was a good and diligent emperor, and he had to do everything himself. Because, he knows very well that it is not easy to lay down this country, and it is even more difficult to keep it. If you want to be permanent, you must manage it carefully. In a while, he will go to see the concubines to sacrifice to the Weaver Girl, and then he will have dinner with them. Take this opportunity to rest on the couch for a while, otherwise, you will not have the energy to chat with the women in the middle of the night.
Gonggong Li waited for His Majesty to sleep on the couch, while he dutifully guarded outside.

Cheng Cuiying said hello to Meng Fanchen last time and asked him to come to propose marriage on the morning of the Qixi Festival. But until noon, I didn't see Meng Fanchen's shadow. Cui Ying was anxious. Because, Pei's told her yesterday that today a household Shangshu brought his second son to propose marriage, so that she was not allowed to go anywhere, and ordered the maid Xiaoju to watch her at the door.
Pei Shi knew that she was not dead set on Meng Fanchen, and she sneaked out to meet that person a few days ago. She was worried that if she had a lot of dreams at night, her daughter and the person surnamed Meng would do something, and it would be a big mess. Therefore, she wanted to marry Cuiying off before she did anything.
thought that relying on her husband could find a good in-law for her daughter, but seeing that Cheng Yanjin was not very reliable, he dragged Qin Shubao to talk about the matchmaker. Qin Shubao lived up to expectations and found the family of Hubu Shangshu. When Pei Shi heard this, he was very happy. As soon as I told Cheng Yanjin, Cheng Yanjin didn't have any hope of seeing Qingxuan's side, and the family of Hubu Shangshu was also a good person, so he didn't object too much, just let his wife decide for herself. As soon as Pei Shi saw that she was in charge of the marriage, she found Qin Shubao and tactfully told her about the Qixi Festival.
The head of the household, Shangshu Kong Rong, got the letter, and prepared enough five carriage bride prices early, and when the Qixi Festival arrived, he took the house slaves to the mansion of Cheng Biting Jin.
