On the first day of the third month of the old summer calendar, men, women and children would go to the waterfront to visit Cailan, wash dirt, and worship ancestors to ward off evil spirits and purify bad luck.

Nowadays, it has become a festival for drinking and feasting by the water, planting willows and enjoying flowers, and visiting the suburbs in spring.

In the previous dynasty, it was especially popular to drink the flow of water, that is, everyone sat around the winding flowing water, threw the wine cup in the upstream of the flowing water, let it drift down, stop in front of whom, then who took a cup to drink, usually had to write a poem or sing a song, so the cycle repeatedly, until the fun ended.

On the outskirts of Yong'an County, there is a natural flowing stream.

March 3 in southern Xinjiang is extremely lively, the people of the time admired the nobles of the previous dynasty that sprinkled the smiling mountains and forests, the spaciousness of the excellent tour style, there are ready-made Quxi, many celebrities and gentlemen follow the example of the old people to flow a cup of drinking and feasting there, it has become a great scene of the Shangsi Festival in South Vietnam.

Xiao Pei said that stepping on the spring, naturally, is also to go to the flowing water of the ten miles of Quxi to play.

In Yuedi, the third day of March is also called the Song Festival. Such a grand event, of course, Xiao Yu is unwilling to miss it, in previous years, there was no time and mood to participate, but this year, Xiao Pei invited him, and he gladly agreed.

The third day of March.

Early in the morning, Xiao Pei made five-color glutinous rice and dyed eggs according to custom, and the sisters and brothers ate before entering the city with Hua Yue and Zhong Lang.

Today, the city is very lively, people come and go, you can see Zhulun canopy everywhere, and young men and women in fresh clothes and angry horses laugh and pass by.

There are also many vendors on the street with bluegrass and sachets, and the business is very good.

The carriage of several men quickly left the city.

In the mountains, you can hear melodious songs, one after another.

Quxi is at the foot of Yushan, the terrain is quite high, the dense forest cultivates bamboo, the green grass by the stream, the weeping willows are still clinging, the peach and plum have fallen everywhere in the city, and the place is still just right, the beautiful scenery is picturesque.

When Xiao Yu and the others arrived, it was already full of tourists.

One of them was separated by a barricade. Outside, there were a lot of cars and horses parked, and there were guards patrolling around.

The servants of each family were there to take care of their chariots and horses.

When the guards saw the mark of the General's Mansion on the carriage, they immediately greeted it and asked the coachman to park the cart in an open space next to it.

Banxia and Lichun got out of the car first and reached out to help the two Xiao Yu sisters down.

Hua Yue and Zhong Lang also arrived at the back, nodded at the two of them after getting out of the car, and walked to the barricade first, and someone was already waiting at the door, coming forward to show them the way.

Then Xiao Yu and Xiao Pei saw that Xiao Xue brought a little girl and greeted her.

The two followed Xiaoxue into the barrier, but the fragrance was blowing.

Not far away, the flowers and trees are fragrant and fragrant, and the beauties are in a row. The meadow by the stream was already sitting with many sons of various families, drinking, laughing, and writing poems.

The lawn is also surrounded by bamboo and wood to set up a pergola, surrounded by light yarn, hung with silver hooks in front, tables, chairs and benches are placed inside, and there are also many daughters in it to talk and laugh and eat tea, and the red costumes are very delicate. Ling Yan and Shen Xiulian greeted them from a pergola in the middle and greeted the two with a smile.

"Sister Ayu, Sister Xiao, you are here." After speaking, Ling Yan had already taken Xiao Yu's hand.

"The water and soil in the south of the Yangtze River really support people, I haven't seen her for a few months, and Miss Xiao's outstanding demeanor is so outstanding that people can't even recognize it."

Several girls who were sitting with Ling Yan next to them also came over, and one of them was wearing a big red embroidered peach blossom jacket skirt, and the girl who was born with pearls and jade smiled.

Xiao Yu only felt that it looked a little familiar, but he couldn't remember whose daughter it was.

Lixia whispered beside him: "That's the second girl from He Mansion." ”

Hofu? Xiao Yu blinked, and finally remembered that he had seen it at the banquet in the General's Mansion, and it seemed to be the palm bead of the parent officials of the neighboring counties.

smiled and nodded at the moment.

At this time, one of the people inside got up and left his seat and walked away, causing everyone to look sideways.

Xiao Yu looked at it in surprise, but it was Zhao Jing.

This time, the ladies of various provinces suddenly became affectionate to Xiao Yu, which made her a little unaccustomed, and Xiao Pei, who came with her, felt even more uncomfortable.

Fortunately, those daughters pulled Xiao Yu to speak, and Ling Yan could still gossip with Xiao Pei.

But after sitting for a while, Xiaoxue came in from outside with a scroll, and said with a smile: "The winding water over there has begun, this is the poem that I just got." ”

The girls immediately came over to admire it.

Xiao Yu was not interested in this, and immediately said hello to Ling Yan, preparing to walk outside with Xiao Pei. When Ling Yan heard this, she left those people behind and went out with the two of them.

The small area enclosed by the barricades was more crowded than before, and there were young men and women under the weeping willows at the water's edge complaining to each other.

A few people walked around a few places at random, and when they heard singing outside, Xiao Yu wanted to go over and have a look.

So they took the maids out of the barrier and followed the singing.

The third day of March is also known as the Song Festival. Different from the literati Yashiqu's drinking and writing poems, many villagers are popular with fighting songs.

Every year, young men and women from a radius of dozens of miles come to fight and sing.

A few people didn't go far before they saw a crowd of people in front of them, and there were many vendors selling snacks and sachets on the side, which was very different from the one in the barrier.

This song usually lasts for a few days, and it is said that many men and women get married every year because of the song.

Ling Yan and Xiao Yu were hesitating whether to squeeze over when they heard a familiar voice say, "Sister, why are you here?" ”

When I turned around, it was Xiao Yucheng.

There were also Hua Yue, Ling Yi and Zhong Lang next to them, and from time to time there were bold girls throwing flower purse sachets at a few people, but they all turned a blind eye.

reminded Xiao Yu of the allusion to the fruit and the car, and couldn't help but look at Hua Yue a few more times.

The attendants who followed next to him made a tiger face and protected Ling Yi and a few people, but there were still many girls who blushed and threw over the flower branches and handkerchiefs.

It's a pity that most of them were thrown on a few of Yuanzhi's entourage, or fell directly to the ground.

Seeing this, Ling Yan was a little unhappy, but the custom was like this, and she couldn't say anything about those girls, so she smiled and saluted.

Xiao Yu pursed her lips and smiled.

After Ling Yan and the others passed, the group of girls restrained a lot, and many of them turned around and left with a smile.

There is no shortage of exquisite sachets on the ground, Xiao Yu was looking down, and suddenly Hua Yue's voice came from the side: "What are you looking for?" ”

Xiao Yu somehow had some hot ears, could she say that the embroiderers who found these purses were better than her?

He shook his head and said, "It's nothing." ”

Instead, he listened to the fighting song over there. These mountain songs have a wide range of themes, the three emperors and five emperors, the sun, the moon and the stars, the mountains and rivers, and the beasts are all-encompassing, searching for strange and strange things, singing with the compilation, the words are clear, the voice is in the ears, and the agility of the singing talent is not inferior to those poets, which is overwhelming.

Xiao Yu listened attentively.

However, after standing for a long time, they felt tired, so several people turned back and went back to the side of the barrier.

The grass is still full of tourists, but it's much quieter than Douge's. Xiao Yu looked up, and suddenly saw a pair of men and women who seemed to be very familiar with each other among the flourishing flowers and trees in front of him.

The two people who are grinding their ears and temples, who else are not Qin Guangyu and Zhao Jing?!

Xiao Yu immediately turned his head, only to find that Xiao Pei had already looked over there with a pale face, his face full of shock and disbelief. (To be continued.) )
