Chapter 10: The Festival of Flowers
Two days later, Ah Xiang got up early, it was nothing more than today the Hundred Flowers Festival, which was the most lively day in Bian City.
and Xiao Tao dressed Shen Ruomeng beautifully, and they all went out. When she met Ye Chenqing, she also deliberately dressed up today. Dressed in green clothes, there are a few orchids embroidered on the clothes, and some intricate patterns are also embroidered on the cuffs. Use a transparent white hosta to pull up your hair at will, and a few strands of hair fall to the collarbone, which looks lazy and sexy. The face is white and red, the lips are red without dots, and the body is elegant, like a fairy who has fallen into the mortal dust. Even a woman has to swallow saliva.
Ah Xiang was stunned when he saw Ye Chenqing like this, not to mention Xuanyuan Sheng, who loved Ye Chenqing. actually looked at Ye Chenqing for a long time, so stupid. Ye Chenqing was also a little shy under Xuanyuan Sheng's straightforward gaze, and his cheeks were pink, which was even more attractive.
"Brother Sheng!" Shen Ruomeng saw Xuanyuan Sheng like this, and angrily interrupted the eyebrow flirt between him and Ye Chenqing.
Xuanyuan Sheng retracted his obsession because of Shen Ruomeng's interruption, and couldn't help but regret the gaffe just now.
"Brother Sheng, do you think I look good today?" Shen Ruomeng walked in front of Xuanyuan Sheng and turned around, but Xuanyuan Sheng only responded perfunctorily, obviously still immersed in just now. But it's a pity that Shen Ruomeng only heard Xuanyuan Sheng's hum and was excited, but ignored the perfunctory in it, pulled Xuanyuan Sheng and walked out, leaving Ye Chenqing angry in the same place, seeing that Du Sheng was still beside him, he took his arm and followed Xuanyuan Sheng and them.
A few days earlier, this Bian Cheng had already begun to be decorated, and I vaguely knew that it would be very lively, but I never thought it would be so lively.
Not to mention the bright flowers and fragrant scents that fill the city, the bustling crowd is also exciting, and the hawkers seem to be louder than usual.
And this street is mostly young men and women, and everyone is excited. The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl only meet once a year, and they only have such a chance to be bold once a year, how can they not be excited?
Xuanyuan Sheng was already outstanding, and he was secretly sent by many women on the road, so angry that Shen Ruomeng bared his teeth and looked at those bold women. Those women were also fearless of Shen Ruomeng's anger, with disgust on their faces. What if you have a good skin? Looking at the handsome man's face, there was also some helplessness on his face, and then he looked at the woman behind her who was many times more beautiful than her! Of course, Shen Ruomeng had no way of knowing their inner thoughts, and still walked on the street with Xuanyuan Sheng's arm.
And Xuanyuan Sheng was also worried at this time, although it was just a local festival in Bian Cheng, he could follow the customs of the locals, and he wanted to walk with Ye Chenqing even more. Why didn't Ye Chenqing want to go with Xuanyuan Sheng at this time? Seeing that those women were even more unrestrained than some modern women, they frowned tightly, so that they ignored the surroundings and themselves who were holding Du Sheng tightly at the moment and looking ahead with gritted teeth. However, Du Sheng was unusual, he was not impatient at all, and he could still see some joy on his face.
Of course, these are all things that Ah Xiang can't control. She is a flower lover, and she is naturally very excited to see so many flowers. There are junzi orchid, peach blossom, dendrobium and so on, among which rhododendron is the mainstay. All kinds of rhododendrons compete to open, showing a thriving appearance.
I took a hard breath, it was really fragrant! From a distance, it is colorful and not spectacular. Looking closely, there are bright and elegant, looking at the shape of the petals and the lines on them, I can't help but sigh at the delicate ideas of nature. Immersed in the excitement, I forgot about the people who came and went. When he came back to his senses, he had already lost with them, looking at the crowd of people, I was afraid that it was hopeless to find them, Ah Xiang thought that the inn would not be lost anyway, and I would have to go to the inn after the end! Thinking about it made me feel free and devote myself even more to appreciating these beautiful flowers.
I don't know how long I walked, but I came to the river unconsciously. There are some vendors on the bridge, some selling paper and some selling rhododendrons. There are also many men and women squatting under the bridge. Seeing that there were still a lot of paper boats floating on the river in their hands, Ah Xiang understood.
Thinking that I don't have a favorite person to give to the cuckoo, it is better to put a wishing boat, and it should be a comfort in my heart.
I took out two copper plates, bought a piece of paper, and bought some azalea petals. Since the last time, Ah Xiang has had the habit of carrying money with her. Squatting by the river, with a folded paper boat at his feet, and a pen borrowed from a hawker in his hand, Ah Xiang hesitated, not knowing what to wish. I am in another world, and I think that the god of this other world can't bless my family, so I can't make up my mind for a while. Half a ring, I put down the pen, only drew a smiley face, hoping that I could laugh at life. I also wrote a C at the end of the right side of the paper, which is the first letter of my English name. Thinking that no one must know what this means, I guess it was only when the pen was inadvertently swept up. This is Ah Xiang's careful thinking, she doesn't want others to know any of her thoughts, even if she knows that this note is destined to sink into the water, and the words on the paper will be soaked in water and dissipated.
Spread a layer of azaleas on a paper boat, place the paper strip on the petals, and cover the petals again. Ah Xiang puts the paper boat on the river. Nudge the boost, until the paper boat turns into a black dot, Ah Xiang turns away.
Beside an empty river beach, a man rinsed his face with water and shook his head fiercely, as if he wanted to use the cold river water to sober himself. looked at his reflection on the calm river at this time, and smiled bitterly. At this moment, a paper boat floated in front of him. Curious, he picked up the paper boat, shook the azaleas inside, and found the note inside. Spread it out, but simply drew a smiley face, but it reminded him of the man. Fold it and put it in a thoughtful shirt, then got up and left, leaving only the azaleas scattered all over the ground and the paper boat soaked under the bottom of the boat.
Ah Xiang wanders in this Bian City, as long as she doesn't go to those remote alleys, she is not afraid of accidents, but she is just an ordinary person. Don't force her to be taken away in public!
Just walking on the street so chic and proud, wandering in front of those shops, how long has it been since he was so wanton? It's so uncomfortable!
But this freedom was stolen after all. turned around to meet an acquaintance, which caught Ah Xiang off guard.
"Du Gongzi!"
Du Sheng saw Ah Xiang, and also saw Ah Xiang's joy that he didn't have time to take back, but he was still young and still childlike, and he had been suppressed for a long time to be so wanton, so he didn't care much. Nodding his head is also a greeting.
Ah Xiang saw that the other party nodded, and couldn't help but be surprised, isn't this person in a good mood today?
Du Sheng didn't care about the surprised reaction of the person in front of him, and walked straight forward.
In this festival of flowers, there are many times more people than usual. One was hit without paying attention, and Ah Xiang was the one who was hit. The person who hit the man was a rough man, maybe there was something urgent, he walked quickly, but he didn't have any weight. In addition to knocking down Ah Xiang, he also hit a few people one after another, but he had to be silent when he saw that the other party was tall and tall.
Seeing that Ah Xiang was about to fall, Du Sheng turned around and pulled Ah Xiang's arm and pulled it up, eye to eye and nose to nose for a while.
Ah Xiang looked into the other party's eyes, but she didn't expect this Du Sheng to have eyes like water, it was really ...... Hooking!
Seeing Ah Xiang staring at him, Du Sheng hurriedly pulled him away from him and left without saying a word. Ah Xiang rubbed the arm that was grabbed, she really didn't know how to pity Xiang Xiang.
After shaking for a while, I was a little tired, although I had to go back to the maid Ah Xiang, but this is life, there are too many last resorts!
returned to the inn and knocked on Shen Ruomeng's door, but he didn't expect to open the door!
"Sister Xiang!" It was Xiao Tao who opened the door, and Ah Xiang couldn't help but be surprised when she saw it.
Shen Ruomeng in the room heard Xiao Tao shouting Sister Ah Xiang, and knew that Ah Xiang was back, so he called Ah Xiang to his side.
Looking at Shen Ruomeng, who was crying with a sad face at this time, Ah Xiang couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, what's wrong?
"Ah Xiang, where have you been?"
Ah Xiang was about to say but was interrupted by Shen Ruomeng, obviously she didn't care where Ah Xiang had gone now.
"Ah Xiang, Brother Sheng must be with Ye Chenqing." As he spoke, he began to cry. Seeing this, Ah Xiang took a handkerchief and wanted to help Shen Ruomeng wipe her tears. I thought in my heart, no wonder I only saw Du Sheng alone!
Shen Ruomeng pulled the handkerchief out of Ah Xiang's hand and wiped it on his face indiscriminately, and his originally delicate face was already miserable.
"Ah Xiang, do you say that Brother Sheng likes that Ye Chenqing" sobbed and continued, "What's so good about that Ye Chenqing?" The demeanor is vulgar and full of nonsense. ”
Ah Xiang still listened quietly as always, she knew from the beginning that Shen Ruomeng didn't expect to hear any opinions from herself, she just wanted someone to talk to. It's like when we are sad and sad, we want to find someone to cry to, and we have to face it ourselves after crying.
Thinking of something, Ah Xiang hesitated and said.
"Why does the young lady like the prince so much?"
Shen Ruomeng stopped crying, and his face was replaced with a smile that could be called happiness.
"You don't know, Brother Sheng has treated me very well since I was a child. Give me anything to eat. I didn't want to copy those poems, so Brother Sheng imitated my handwriting and wrote them for me. Once the third prince bullied me, Brother Sheng saw it and kicked the third prince to the ground directly. At that time, the third prince was lying on the ground, his face was full of dirt, even his mouth was full, he was so frightened that he was urinating, crying and shouting to find his mother, but I laughed to death! Speaking of this, Shen Ruomeng actually laughed, but soon collapsed again. But when I grew up, I couldn't go to the palace often, and Brother Sheng had a lot of things to do, so we rarely got together. Now there is a sudden Ye Chenqing who wants to rob Brother Sheng, he is really angry and sad, because Brother Sheng seems to like that Ye Chenqing too. ”
After listening to this, Ah Xiang just wanted to say that sure enough, childhood events have a profound impact on a person, and it can also be seen that Shen Ruomeng is obsessed with Xuanyuan Sheng. It seems that it is hopeless to persuade her to give up Xuanyuan Sheng, so she has to find an opportunity to change her fate as much as possible in the future.
It was getting late, and Xuanyuan Sheng and Ye Chenqing came back. Ye Chenqing's hands were empty, but if you looked closely, you could find that the hosta on top of her head had been replaced with a full-body hosta carved into pink azaleas. Coupled with her cheeks that seem to be rubbed with rouge at this time, it's really beautiful!
Shen Ruomeng saw them come back together, although it was expected, he was still angry, so he had to secretly twist the handkerchief in his sleeve to suppress his feelings.
finally stabilized his breath, pretended to be cheerful and ran to Xuanyuan Sheng's side, squeezed Ye Chenqing away, and hugged Xuanyuan Sheng, his face was really open.
"Brother Sheng, where have you been today? There are so many people, and I haven't found you for a long time since we got separated. ”
Xuanyuan Sheng looked at Shen Ruomeng like this, and then looked at Ye Chenqing, who was squeezed aside to watch the show, looking at him, and was embarrassed for a while. Today he deliberately got separated so that he could find Ye Chenqing. But it was impossible to explain to Shen Ruomeng, so he just said a few words and fled back to his room in despair.
Seeing Xuanyuan Sheng leave, Shen Ruomeng was no longer pretending.
"You and Brother Sheng have been together today." is an affirmative sentence.
"So what?" Ye Chenqing couldn't see such a delicate eldest lady. She likes Xuanyuan Sheng, so she fights for it. On the contrary, this Shen Ruomeng didn't want to do anything, so he felt that Xuanyuan Sheng was his own, what kind of joke?
Shen Ruomeng was stunned by Ye Chenqing's words, and her face was flushed.
"Brother Sheng is mine!"
"Oh? Xuanyuan Sheng is a person and a thoughtful person, and whoever he says is whoever. After saying that, he inadvertently stroked the hairpin on the top of his head with his hand, and then left.
Of course Shen Ruomeng saw it, but the other party was gone, so angry that she stomped her feet, but she didn't know what to do.
