Chapter 119: Heavy Five
Yuan Bao saw that she was just looking at herself, and she didn't move, so she couldn't help tilting her head and called, "Meow-meow-"
The night was lonely, and the gentle meow of a cat was like a baby's whisper.
It obediently lowered its paws, put them on Ruosheng's vamp, and rubbed them twice.
"Is it empty or filled with something?" Ruosheng raised his eyebrows, and finally leaned over to take off the brocade bag hanging from its neck, and turned his head to ask Hu Qiuniang, "When did you see it?" β
Hu Qiuniang replied with a smile: "Just now, Mother Wu said that she saw that the sky was not raining tonight, and she wanted to let people bring copper coins to the house, and the slave and maid passed, but when she turned her head, she found the ingots." β
Ruosheng said angrily: "Every time it comes back, it goes to look for copper coins first!" β
A few times earlier, it had been looking for her non-stop......
Suddenly, the straps of the pouch loosened between her fingers, and the opening unfolded, revealing a note inside.
It turned out not to be empty.
Ruosheng took out the note and was about to unfold it, when the ingots lying at her feet called out twice, and the beard on the side of her mouth trembled, as if she was smiling proudly.
"Ingot Treasure." Ruosheng called it.
It immediately raised its head high and pricked up its ears to "meow".
Ruosheng lowered his hand and touched its head, and said with a smile: "It's hard work." β
Since the bag is not empty, this note must have been written by Su Yu, so the ingots suddenly appeared again after a few days, and the reason should be to send her a letter. It used to come by day, but this was the first time it came after dark.
I don't know what Su Yu wants to say to her.
After the two returned to Beijing, it was not as convenient to meet as when they were in Pingzhou. Since Su Yu came to Lian's house to pick up the ingots, they haven't seen each other again.
Ruosheng secretly speculated, and unfolded the note in his hand.
A thin, narrow piece of paper, with only a few words written on itβ
See you again.
Ruosheng was slightly stunned, and muttered these three words.
Hu Qiuniang, who was waiting on the side, frowned when she heard this, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "What kind of dumb riddle is this?" β
"Heavy five. It's Duanyang Festival. Ruosheng crumpled the note. Smiled and shook his head, "If you don't mention it, you really forgot about it." β
The fifth day of the fifth month of May is the fifth day of the month. It coincides with the Duanyang Festival.
On the day of the Duanyang Festival, it is a custom to drink calamus wine and eat five poisonous cakes.
But in the big yin. In addition to these, there is one more important custom. There is a lot of water in the big Yin Dynasty. Caoyun is prosperous and prosperous, and there are many waterways, so every year of the Duanyang Festival, there will be rowing competitions in various places in Dayin. The capital at the feet of the Son of Heaven is naturally no exception.
The five-day regatta is an annual event in Dayin.
The Lian family has been in charge of the waterway for many years, and such a grand event is, of course, indispensable to the Lian family.
In particular, Lian family moved to the capital. After settling in Pingkangfang, it has always been very valued by Emperor Jialong. Every year in Beijing, the five-season regatta will be presided over by Lian family members in person.
Mrs. Yun Zhen was too noisy and would not show up, so the matter of presiding over the event fell on Ruosheng's third and fourth uncles. Sometimes even the third master goes, sometimes even the fourth master goes, and when the two of them appear together, there are not many.
But what the five-day regatta was, Ruosheng didn't know at all.
She thought about it carefully, but her mind was still blank.
Come to think of it, after so many years, it seems that she has only been there once since she can remember!
And that time, it didn't seem to last long before he returned. As for why she left early, she doesn't remember very well.
She placed the crumpled note on the lamp, and as soon as her fingertips loosened, the note fell, only to be burned to ashes in an instant, and a few wisps of green smoke came out.
Seeing this, Hu Qiuniang asked unconsciously: "The girl is going to go out on the fifth day?" β
"What time is it today?" If you don't remember the day, now you suddenly want to think about it, and you can't figure it out for a long time.
"It's the second year of junior high school."
Ruosheng frowned: "Three days later, it's the Duanyang Festival?" β
No wonder when she met Wan Qing, the fourth cousin of the third uncle's family, that day the girl sighed again and again, saying that she hadn't seen her father for several days. It can be seen that the third uncle is busy doing serious things, his feet don't touch the ground, and he doesn't even have the time to talk a few more words with his fourth cousin.
It is said that the third uncle is busy, and the fourth uncle must not be able to dodge, because after she told Lao Wu about it, the fourth uncle didn't even send the people below to question, which is obviously busy.
But in addition to being too busy, the fourth uncle must not have taken her to heart, taking her seriously, maybe he never thought that Lao Wu's death would be anything boring.
But he doesn't come to toss, if he survives, he is happy.
With her free hands, she picked up a fan on the side and played with it, pressed it against her chin, and pondered.
Why did Su Yu want to see her?
She couldn't guess, but she understood why he chose the Duanyang Festival.
The boat race is a grand event, not only the noble families in the capital will send people to participate, but also the ordinary people will go to watch. Moreover, there are many students gathering on the shore to compose poems in competitions, and there are rewards for good works. Everyone knows that even the family is wealthy, and this bonus is very considerable, because there are many people involved. For poor students, being able to stand out on this day is not only a bonus, but also a great opportunity. In case of luck, it is very likely to become a shortcut if you ask someone to be a staff member in the future.
After all, apart from this day, it is not easy to see so many dignitaries in one breath.
Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to describe the number of people on that day.
Her meeting with Su Yu became logical.
Ruosheng fanned himself twice, and then went to fan the ingot.
The summer nights were getting hotter, the windows were ajar, and there was no wind. Ruosheng doesn't like to use ice, and after it melts, it's wet, it's all water, and she is upset when she looks at it, but fortunately, she is not afraid of heat.
But ingots are different.
I don't know if it's because it's chubby, thick hair, and it's very hot since the beginning of summer.
If the life is fanned by the wind, it spreads out its limbs and lies on the ground with its head tilted. He narrowed his eyes and looked at her with a grin, and let out a comfortable cry.
Ruosheng touched it with his hand, and as a result, he touched the hair on his hand.
Shedding hair like this is also unseen and unheard of, thanks to its large hair, otherwise it should have been bald a long time ago.
"Meow woo...... ingots rubbed her fingers, sticking to them.
But it was getting darker and darker outside. Although there are stars in the sky that shimmer. But after all, it was still late at night. Ruosheng thought about the journey it would take back to Su's house, and after a while, he put away the fan and said, "Good ingots." It's time to go back. β
She hadn't said yes before, and she couldn't take it upon herself to leave it behind.
Yuan Bao got up from the ground, twisted his butt and flicked his tail outside, but he didn't give up.
If you don't feel at ease. Tell Hu Qiuniang to follow and have a look.
But it was nearly two watches, and there was already a curfew outside. can't move around at will, so Hu Qiuniang only watched the ingots go out and returned home. Yuan Bao is a cat not a human, and his actions are dexterous, and he is not restricted by the curfew after nightfall. Even if you really meet a night watchman, it doesn't matter.
If you change people, you have to be interrogated.
It was after the ingots went out of the house. Shun Shun lì returned to the Dingguo Mansion.
The cat's steps were light and silent, ghostly in and out. No one noticed.
The night became deeper and deeper, and the sound of the second watch sounded in the sky above Pingkangfang, and the lights in the Dingguo Mansion were almost extinguished, and everyone stopped.
Yuan Bao trotted under the starlight, ran into the small bamboo forest, and then as soon as he entered the door, he saw the little girl Sanqi beside Su Yu.
Sanqi was waiting for it to come back after Su Yu's order, but when he waited left and right, his drowsiness slowly came up, and he dozed off, and his eyelids became heavy. When Yuan Bao returned, he had already leaned against the door and closed his eyes, as if he had already fallen asleep.
Yuan Bao stopped, licked his hair, jumped up suddenly, and crashed into Sanqi.
"The ground is moving! The ground is moving! Sanqi opened his eyes with a loud shout, and when he saw that it was an ingot, he suddenly understood, and said in annoyance, "Ancestor, what are you doing to hit me in such a dignified manner?" β
The ingots meowed, and slammed their claws on the door panel.
The door is locked.
Sanqi suddenly realized and hurriedly opened the door for it.
Yuanbao's claws were still pressed on the door, but he suddenly pushed it away, staggered and rolled in, and when he got up, he was so angry that he yelled at Sanqi, forgetting that he had just hit someone.
"Come on, just talk a lot...... you talk about" Sanqi rubbed his sleepy eyes, muttered, and closed the door again.
Yuan Bao gave up and turned to find Su Yu.
It's already time, but Su Yu hasn't stopped yet.
There were two lamps lit in the room, the light was bright, and he was copying scriptures at his desk, writing neatly and neatly.
He doesn't believe in Buddhism, but he does.
After the death of his father and two elder brothers, his mother chanted the sutras day and night, and since then she has spent more time in the Buddhist hall than when she met people, and for a long time, except for her cousin Xia Rou, she did not even see their brothers.
However, Xia Rou stayed with his mother for much longer than the days when their brothers stayed with their mother.
She is the only daughter of his aunt, three years younger than him, and grew up in the Su family since childhood. Because he was a posthumous child, he lost his father before he was born, and he lost his mother when he was three years old.
His mother and Xia Rou's mother are twin sisters, but poor Xia Rou lost her parents at a young age, so she adopted her, and since then she has been her own and raised by her side.
The Su family only has sons and no daughters, so although Xia Rou is Miss Cousin, she is no different from the daughter of the Su family.
But Su Yu thought of this cousin, but he didn't have any impression.
β¦β¦ Probably a quiet man.
"Meow-meow-"
At some point, the ingots had quietly jumped onto the desk, reaching out their claws to fall on the scriptures.
Su Yu glanced at it and said, "What to do?" β
The ingots "meowed", and the meat claws were about to fall.
At the moment of lightning, an ink pen suddenly clicked on the door of its head, drawing two lines up and down, left and right, and making a big cross.
The scripture was removed in an instant, and with a "snap", it fell into the air with one paw, and cried out in disappointment, "Meow ......" (to be continued)
ps: I was dumbfounded when I quit the codeword software and looked at the time... It's almost dawn the next day! It's also teary-eyed to think about, and if I change the children's shoes of another author, maybe 20,000 words have been written... So I can only say good morning to everyone, thank you for your pink and reward~~ Although I knew from the beginning that it was hopeless to climb the list, and I wrote slowly, I had no intention of asking for votes, but on the last day of the double event, I still want to continue shouting, don't save for the end of the month with a little pink pro at hand~ Now one vote counts as two votes, and it's a pity to vote at the end of the month... In addition, if today's state is okay, try to add more ~R655
