Chapter 165: Yuan Xi
Mama Xu looked for someone to find the place where Yunzhu landed, and she didn't want to find it at all, so she just dealt with it casually and went back to report to Mrs. Xie.
"I don't know where they live, but I'm afraid I'll go back to the city to buy something. I definitely didn't bring the young lady out with me. ”
When Mrs. Xie heard about it, she gave up.
Yunzhu was afraid that he would have anything to do with the He family again, so he didn't wander around casually. The next day, he went to the West Market with Ping'an and found the flower farmer, and the flower farmer said: "I inquired about the seedlings you wanted, and there are still three kinds left." ”
Ping'an said: "It doesn't matter, just forget it if you can't get it together." "Go and see the cloud beads again.
Yunzhu also felt that it didn't matter,
The saplings could not be found for a while, and the flower farmer said, "Where do you live, I will send them to you in two days." ”
"But we live in Qingtang, which is a little far away." ”
"Qingtang? It doesn't matter if my nephew is in Qingtang, he hasn't left yet, I'll ask him to bring it to you when he goes back. ”
Ping An thought it was good, but it was not convenient to ask for these words along the way, so he agreed.
Bidding farewell to the flower farmers, Ping'an and Yunzhu said: "It's rare for us to come to the city to play, so let's take a walk around and buy something for Tian Tian to go back." It's impossible to go back empty-handed. You can't disturb your mood because of the affairs of the He family, right? Anyway, their family has nothing to do with you, and if they dare to bully you, I won't agree. ”
Hearing Ping'an say this, Yunzhu's mood was better. smiled and said, "Don't think about those bad things, you're right, it's hard to come and play." It's good to be happy. ”
Yunzhu was relieved, so he put down a qiē and walked around peacefully. I also asked the locals where the food was delicious and where the lantern festival was the most lively.
Ping An saw that the wide boundless lake was sparkling, and there were several painting boats parked on the lake. There was a sound of bamboo on the other side, and he thought it was about a good place, so he turned his head and asked Yunzhu: "Do you want to go to the other side?" ”
Yunzhu smiled and nodded, "Okay." ”
Ping'an pulled Yunzhu down the stone steps and walked to the shore, found a canopy boat and asked, "Boat family." Go to the other side, how much money do you want? ”
"Fifty wen for chartering, ten wen for squeezing."
Yunzhu said: "You don't need to charter a boat." ”
The boatman waited for the couple to get on the boat. After another shout, someone came on board again. There are literati and peddlers. There is only one woman. Ping An sat outside the cloud bead as usual. He was already tall. In this way, there is room for Yunzhu to flow, and it also makes people not so light to find her.
When the boatman and others were about the same, they stretched out the penny, and rowed waves on the water a little bit, which gradually dispersed on the water.
This was the first time she had sat on such a canopy boat, slowly. It feels like you're in a dream. The music on the opposite shore was getting closer, and Yunzhu could hear the sound of a pipa coming from there. She only felt melodious and pleasant, anyway, she didn't know what tune she played, and when she was listening attentively, she suddenly saw that the literati wearing a black hat had just come up and walked to the deck, he listened intently to the sound of the pipa for a while, and then he touched the flute to his waist, put it to his mouth and tried the sound for a while, and then followed the sound of the lute and began to harmonize.
Yun Zhu was dumbfounded when he heard this, this literati looked less than thirty years old, dressed in a stone blue robe, standing on the deck, he didn't expect to have such ability.
The literati's flute played so well that everyone in the cabin listened. It wasn't until the sound of the lute was over that the sound of the flute stopped here.
When he finished the song, the people in the cabin praised one after another: "This little minister has played well, let's play another song." ”
The boatman also praised the Nawen people for blowing well. He smiled a little shyly, and then blew a song "Plum Blossom Falling", but unfortunately the recklessness of a boat only felt like fairy music, and he didn't know what the song was.
Yunzhu listened to the sound of the flute and felt that it was particularly interesting to ride this canopy boat.
After blowing this song "Plum Blossom Falling", the literati was a little tired, his breath was a little unstable, he put away the flute, and blew the wind on the lake, but refused to enter the cabin.
After a while the boat was already on the shore, and the boatman lowered the rope and tied the boat. The passengers paid the fare one by one. Ping An got off the boat in two steps. Yunzhu trembled until Ping An stretched out his hand and helped her hard, and then she fell to the ground steadily.
It has just passed the beginning of spring, and it is still in the cold of spring. The willow trees on the shore have not yet sprouted, and they look a little monotonous with thin threads hanging down one by one.
But behind this monotonous scenery, there is the sound of silk and bamboo that can't be hidden,
The couple walked to the sound of music, and they came to a tea house. This tea house has two floors and is made of bamboo. The two walked in, and immediately a shopkeeper dressed in oil green came to greet them.
Yun Zhu saw a woman in red sitting in the middle, holding a pipa in her arms, playing it intently. Ten fingers were delicate, and the notes flowed from her fingertips.
The woman in red always hung her head slightly, and her appearance could be seen to be a rough one, not a stunning musician, but her pipa sound was enough to move people.
Ping'an saw that Yunzhu liked it here and preferred to listen to the sound of the pipa, so he pulled her to find the most inconspicuous corner and sit down. Ping An ordered two pine nut teas and asked for three sauces of refreshments.
Yunzhu thought this tea was interesting, not like they used tea leaves to soak in water, with the dry fragrance of pine nuts.
The woman in red played a "Overlord Removing Armor", and everyone listened happily. Yunzhu also fell into the gods, and kept applauding. After she was finished, two people came up, I don't know if it was a servant or someone, and said to the woman in red: "Miss Liu, our master Lu has an invitation, let's go." ”
The woman in red raised her eyes a little confused, as if she was unwilling, but the official said: "Our master Lu has long admired Miss Liu's talent and wants to listen to the two songs with his own ears. Don't be ignorant. ”
The woman in red gritted her teeth and said, "If the master wants to listen, let him come up here." ”
Seeing this, the shopkeeper hurriedly came up to mediate, and the official pulled out the saber on his waist, as if to threaten. The shopkeeper saw the knife. Some were afraid to step forward.
Ping An could see it clearly in this corner, and he was a little angry, thinking that the people who played the pipa were unwilling. Is this going to be forced? It doesn't make sense. And he arose, wanting justice.
Yunzhu shook his head at Ping'an and signaled him not to meddle in his affairs, people on the official road couldn't afford to mess with him, but this time Ping'an didn't listen to Yunzhu's words. He strode up and said to the two servants, "Since the girls are unwilling, why do you need to be strong? ”
"Which green onion are you?" Although the official saw that Ping An was born to hit the lock and be burly, he was not afraid of him even if he had a knife on his body.
The woman in red was afraid that innocent people would be involved, so she said, "I'll go with you." ”
"That's not it."
The woman in red turned around and hugged the pipa. Pick up the bamboo basket on the table and leave. The basket contained the bounty of the whole group.
Ping'an saw that the woman didn't accept her affection at all, and her expression was a little worried. All the eyes of the people in the room converged on him, and he bowed his head. Slowly return to Yunzhu. Yunzhu glared at Ping'an, as if to say, "I said don't meddle in things. ”
Without the sound of the pipa, the tea house seemed a lot quieter. Not long after, a kid who ran in panicked and said, "The woman in red clothes who played the pipa here just now fell into the water!" ”
His words made the tea house fried. They all said they wanted to go and see it.
Peace can't sit still. I hurriedly took out the money and paid, pulled the cloud bead and walked out, a few steps away, and sure enough, I saw that there were many people around the shore, and soon I saw people jumping into the lake, ignoring the fact that the lake water was still very harsh.
Yun Zhu was dumbfounded, thinking that this plot had reversed too quickly.
The woman in red rescued her, and the one who saved her was the one who was on the same boat as Yunzhu just now. A literati with a flute and a lute. When the official saw that the woman in red was forced to die, he didn't dare to move forward.
And so it went.
Yunzhu couldn't help but ridicule Ping'an: "You are really kind-hearted." I can't see people being wronged, but they don't accept your affection. ”
"I thought she was pitiful and wanted to help her, but she was still a stupid person."
"It's stupid, no matter how much you can't seek death. There are still many ways to live in life, so if you don't give it a try, you don't know if it's a way out. ”
Ping'an heard Yunzhu say this, and looked at her. Yunzhu said: "Did I say something wrong?" ”
"Where, you're absolutely right. I just thought, how could you have been a fool before, and you had to jump into the Qing River. Later, I heard Meizi tell me that you accidentally fell down. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief. People in the village are rumoring that the second baby of the Li family has a holiday with you, and you can't figure it out before you jump into the river. Later, I thought it wasn't like that, but fortunately! ”
Yun Zhu snorted: "What year is the old yellow calendar, you still mention it." ”
"I've remembered this for the rest of my life. At the beginning, you finally rescued you, lying there with no dry place on your body, but fortunately, you met Dr. Yuan and saved you. When I rushed back with you on my back, I was in a painful and anxious mood. ”
Yun Zhu secretly thought, dare to love this person since that time, he has been thinking about himself?
Neither of them said anything more about the woman in red, and her fate had nothing to do with them.
Walk around and prepare different gifts for everyone in the family. Ping An also bought a peach wood comb for Yunzhu, with a pair of mandarin ducks engraved on it, and Ping An said that this meant good.
Yunzhu accepted it with a smile.
I went back to the inn and rested again, and it was twilight. Sure enough, I saw that the street market, and the treetops on both sides were hung with lanterns of various colors, and the market that had to be curfew at night suddenly became very lively.
The two of them searched for the light.
Although the most common is the red lantern, the light of the lantern is also particularly touching in the quiet of the night. Lights were also hung on both sides of the Wujing Lake passing by during the day, and some people put up lanterns in the river, entrusting people's best wishes and blessings.
Yunzhu naturally bought two to put it, the white lotus lamp, a little candle swaying, with the rippling of the water waves, slowly drifting farther and farther, and finally mixed into a piece, like a galaxy that landed in the world, winding for more than ten miles.
When I walked to the front of a archway, I saw that there were many people gathered there, and it was very lively. The girls, daughters-in-law and grandmothers who don't usually go out much, also came out in bright clothes accompanied by their families.
Yunzhu and Ping'an also followed the crowd from the archway in, the style of the lamp in this place has also increased, what sheep's horn, glass, yarn, paper paste, and the painting of flowers and birds of the characters, made into the shape of a goat, the shape of a rabbit, the most chic is the fairy lamp, the craft is complex, the shape is elegant.
Rubbing shoulders one after another, Yunzhu clutched Ping'an's hand tightly, for fear of getting lost. After a while, they saw a large screen standing not far in front of them, with various notes glued to it, and many literati and scholars looked around it.
Yunzhu pointed and asked, "What are they looking at?" ”
"It's about guessing lantern riddles. I don't know how to do this, what about you? ”
Yunzhu smiled and shook her head.
The unusual bustle makes the market look like daytime, and there are even more people than on the day of the fair. In addition to these lanterns, there are more small vendors, who use all kinds of novelties to attract customers. Ping An brought a pair of toys to Tian Tian and bought a jewelry box for Xiangmei.
In the end, the two came to a snack stall, probably in a remote location, and there were not many people patronizing.
Ping'an let Yunzhu sit first, and he went to order two bowls of rice balls.
When the dumplings are on the table, the steaming, white and soft gnocchi will take a while to blow before you can take a bite, and when you bite into it, a sweet sesame paste will flow out of it. After two more sips of hot soup, my body warmed up.
After coming out and walking around for such a circle, Yunzhu's legs were a little tired, and Ping'an said that he wanted to carry her back.
Yunzhu refused: "Come on, let people see what it looks like." ”
"Don't you see that there are daughters-in-law in other places?"
Yunzhu looked at Ping'an's gaze, and saw couples in twos and threes in the lamplight, intimate, some supporting each other, some carrying them, and some holding them. To her great surprise, she almost forgot that this was in a relatively feudal and conservative ancient period. No wonder this Lantern Festival is like an ancient Valentine's Day, and it has nothing to do with Qixi at all.
"I'm not that squeamish, I can go. Follow the climb up the mountain and go down the water, what is this, I am not a precious Miss Jiao. Yunzhu insisted on going by herself.
Peace was left to her, but she was always holding her.
As we walk, there are fewer and fewer people.
Yunzhu was worried, "Can we still find that inn?" ”
"Don't worry, I'm here." Ping An is very confident, and he is already familiar with the environment of this generation.
"Azhu!"
"Huh? What's up? ”
"Mother said......" Ping An hesitated.
"What did your mother say?"
"My mother asked us when we were going to raise our children." Ping An knew that this question was a little difficult.
Yun Zhu was silent, her steps became slower, and her heart turned a thousand times before she said, "It's okay for you to say I'm selfish, but I'm a little sorry." There is no such idea yet. After all, they're all busy. ”
Busy is Yunzhu's excuse, Ping An understood Yunzhu's feelings, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I don't want you to give birth to one for our family right away." There is no urgency in this matter. Mother, I'll talk about it well. And Tian Tian, I will also take good care of her. ”
Yunzhu was full of apologies, and was very grateful to see Ping'an being so considerate of her, and couldn't help it for a while, pulled him down, stood on tiptoe, raised his head, and gently imprinted a kiss on his face. (To be continued......)
