On March 3, the weather was new, and there were many beautiful people by the water in Chang'an - Du Fu's "Beauty Walk".

March 3 is the Shangsi Festival, not only the Han nationality, but also all ethnic minorities in China will celebrate on March 3. Even, Japan, South Korea, Vietnam and other countries in the Confucian cultural circle have always retained the tradition of "March 3rd".

Huang E hung the carefully prepared sachet on his waist, looked left and right in the mirror, and went to sort out the box when he was satisfied.

"Little sister, hurry up, I'm waiting for you!" Huang Qiao shouted outside.

"It's coming, it's coming!" Huang E ran out quickly.

On the side of the street, Song Ling'er was holding a horse and had been waiting for a long time: "Sister Huang, why did you go out, you see that Sister Jin has been waiting for a long time." ”

Next door to the Huang family is the Jin family, and a carriage is parked at the door.

Jin Yue, the second son of Jin Gui's family, and Jin Lan, the youngest daughter of Jin Gui's family, are going out this time. Anyway, it must be accompanied by a man, and it is too dangerous for the daughter's family to travel alone, and it is easy to provoke criticism.

Only Song Linger belongs to the wild girl.

Jin Lan lifted the curtain and waved at Huang E, urging: "Huang Xiaomei, get in the car quickly!" ”

Huang E climbed into the Jin family's carriage and asked, "Sister Song, are you riding out like this?" ”

Song Ling'er rode a horse to the side and said with a smile: "Otherwise? ”

Huang E has always wanted to correct Song Ling'er, she thinks that Sister Song is so rude, it will be difficult to find a good husband in the future. However, Song Ling'er insisted on this, and Huang E couldn't force it, she decided not to persuade her anymore in the future.

Jin Lan leaned on the car window and asked, "Sister Song, do you Miao people also celebrate the Si Festival?" ”

Song Ling'er corrected: "I am the Zhong family, not the Miao people!" ”

"Oh."

Jin Lan stuck out her tongue and asked, "Your Zhong family is also living a good life?" ”

Song Ling'er explained: "Yes, but we don't call it Shangsi Festival, we call it Gewei Festival." Young men and women go to the mountains or rivers to sing, and when they look at each other, they can become lovers, just waiting for the man to get married. ”

"Don't you need a matchmaker?" Huang E asked in surprise.

Song Linger said with a smile: "Just find a matchmaker, and the parents of both sides will basically not object." ”

Jin Lan longed: "The March 3rd of your side must be very interesting. ”

The three girls whispered, and the two sons, Huang Qiao and Jin Yue, rode far ahead. They were chatting about the literary meeting, and if they hadn't been forced by their parents to take their sister to play, the two would have gone to participate in the Shangsi literary meeting.

From the pre-Qin period to the Northern Song Dynasty, the Shangsi Festival is a major festival, and both men, women and children are carnival in spring.

The Southern Song Dynasty began to gradually decline, and it rose again by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang once personally led the ministers to travel on the third day of March, so the Shangsi Festival became a festival for literati gatherings.

This is retro, "Lanting Collection Preface" is made by Wang Xi during the spring outing: "Yonghe nine years, the age is ugly, at the beginning of the twilight spring, will be in the Lanting of Huiji Shanyin, and repair things." ”

Xiu, also known as purification, is to sacrifice by the river, wash away the dirt on the body, and wash away the bad luck by the way.

It's a pity that the scene of the "Chang'an Waterside Dolly People" in the Tang Dynasty is no longer reappearing, and the March 3rd, which should have been a pair of men and women, is now only left with a group of rough old men drinking and having fun.

The Qing Dynasty was even worse, and the rough old men were only three March. On the contrary, China's ethnic minorities remained, as well as Japan, South Korea, Vietnam and other countries.

When they came to the southern suburbs, Wang Yuan and Jin Wei had been waiting on the official road for a long time.

As for Zou Mu and Zhang Yun, on the third day of the trial list, they left the sad place of the capital together with other scholars.

Song Ling'er shook her finger and said, "That's Wang Erlang." ”

"Why is he there?" Huang Qiao asked.

Song Ling'er said: "I made an appointment." ”

Huang Qiao immediately reminded Huang E: "Little sister, put on the scarf for a while, don't let outsiders see your face." ”

"Yes." Huang E replied.

Jin Lan is obviously a good-looking party, and her eyes lit up when she saw Jin Wei. She called Song Ling'er over and asked quietly, "Sister Song, who is the scholar who was born the whitest and stood on the right?" ”

Song Ling'er said: "Jin Wei, the word Boqi, a native of Yunnan, seems to have passed more than 20 exams in this exam. ”

"Did he ever have a marriage contract?" Jin Lan was very bold.

"It doesn't seem to be," Song Ling'er thought for a while and said, "I don't know too much, I just met a few days ago." Do you have a crush on him? I'll help you ask later. ”

Huang E was shocked by the conversation between the two: "Can't you be more reserved?" It's going to be gossiped about. ”

"Hee-hee, whoever likes to gossip, let them talk." Jin Lan said with a smile.

Jin Lan's grandfather used to be a scholar and an elder of the Household Department, and he gave birth to Jin Gui, an only son, in his fifties. Although Jin Gui has several sons, only Jin Lan, a daughter, has been spoiled by her parents and grandmother since she was a child, so she doesn't care about abiding by women's morals.

Jin Gongzi is so handsome, just like the one who came out of the painting, and he will try more than 20 people, Jin Lan feels that they are a very good match.

"Wang Yuan!"

Song Ling'er waved her hand and shouted from a long distance.

Wang Yuan rode up to meet him, Huang E and Jin Lan both covered their faces with scarves, and then got out of the car together to salute.

The official eunuch of the Han family, if she is not out of the cabinet, she cannot be easily seen. Of course, it doesn't matter if you show up occasionally, if you don't appear to be seen by a man, you must marry the past nonsense.

It can be seen from this how wild Song Ling'er is who shows up and rides on the streets.

Wang Yuan, Jin Li, Jin Yue and Huang Qiao, the four scholars greeted each other with fists, and each talked about the time of study.

"Childe Haifu!" Huang E clasped his hands, put them on his left waist, and bowed his knees to Wang Yuan.

Obviously, Wang Yuan was not as good-looking as Jin Wei, but Huang E's heart was pounding, and his cheeks involuntarily became slightly red.

is mainly the song "Linjiang Immortal", Huang E likes talented people with connotation. She also has admiration for her brother's friend Yang Shen, but Yang Shen has already married a wife, and it is impossible for Huang E to marry as a concubine.

Jin Lan kept staring at Jin Wei, and when the two sides made eye contact, she immediately buried her head in dodge.

Everyone went back to the car and got on the horse, the men rode in front, the women sat in the back, and Song Linger rode in the middle.

After a while, the people came to a small river.

The maids laid out the undercloth on the ground, and all kinds of pastries and delicacies were laid out, and there were even wine jugs and glasses, and these girls also drank.

Huang E and Jin Lan both took out their kites and ran on the grass under their veils, laughing like silver bells from time to time.

On the third day of March, kites flew all over the sky.

Song Ling'er didn't play this kind of girl game, but only sat next to Wang Yuan and drank with a few men.

Song Ling'er suddenly leaned into Jin Wei's ear and asked, "Do you have a marriage contract?" ”

"Nope." Jin Wei said in confusion.

"That's good." Song Ling'er sat back with a smile.

Jin Yue and Huang Qiao are both Guozi prison students, the kind that are enough to take the exam. But it doesn't matter, when their father is promoted and makes meritorious contributions, they will be able to get a petty official in the shadows.

Because of this, they don't have any common language with Wang Yuan and Jin Wei, and it's purely awkward to sit together.

Suddenly, a group of young scholars came to the river, and Huang Qiao and Jin Lan immediately restrained their laughter and pulled the kite in the sky back and sat down.

The atmosphere became even more awkward.

Huang E likes Wang Yuan, Jin Lan likes Jin Wei, and neither dares to take the initiative to speak, nor does he dare to show the slightest emotion, after all, the two of them are brothers.

The four men were divided into two groups, each chatting with each other, and only Song Linger could talk to anyone.

"Is it Wang Erlang over there?"

The new group of young scholars were all Nanjing inmates who had passed the examination, and a few of them had even chatted with Wang Yuan on the boat.

Wang Yuan stood up, shook his fists and said, "It's down." ”

The two sides immediately joined together, took out the wine chips and began to carry out the drinking order, which made it even more inconvenient for the girls to speak.

Huang E wanted to speak several times, wanting to talk to Wang Yuan, but he couldn't find a chance. Even if she is proficient in poetry, she can't join in the fun with the scholars, and she doesn't dare to show her talent easily.

Serious women in the Ming and Qing dynasties, even if they wrote amazing masterpieces, would not take them out to outsiders, let alone publish them in a book. Because, if their poetry works enter history, they will inevitably rank before advocates and famous prostitutes, which makes them deeply ashamed.

Historically, Huang E's poems have been handed down through the name of Yang Shen, such as "Yang Sheng'an and His Wife's Scattered Songs", "Mrs. Yang's Pleasure House", and "Yang Zhuangyuan's Wife Poetry Collection".

If Huang E was to have fun with the scholars at the moment, what was the difference between him and that Li Qiren?

After playing until the afternoon, everyone returned to the capital together.

Huang E felt more and more helpless, so she said a few words to Wang Yuan. One sentence is "Childe Wanfu" when they meet, and the other sentence is "I wish Childe the champion of high school" when they are separated.

This talented woman is very recognizant of death, and in history she likes Yang Shen, because Yang Shen has already married a wife, and she just doesn't want to marry. Until Yang Shen's wife died, Huang E was in his twenties, so he married Yang Shen to fill the house.

Now, she seems to have recognized Wang Yuan again because of the song "Linjiang Immortal".

Anyway, Wang Yuan didn't feel it, the two girls in the boudoir didn't speak, who knows what they thought in their hearts?

In the blink of an eye, it was March 15, and the thieves successively captured Zhili Prefecture and County, and then were defeated and retreated by the imperial army. After Liu Liu and Liu Qi were defeated, they hid in the village and were almost captured, so frightened that they threw away the young and strong, and only led a few thousand cavalry to Shandong and Henan.

And the date of the palace examination has also arrived, and Emperor Zhengde is gearing up and preparing to point someone as the champion.

(I'll take it slowly, there is no one today, and there will be at least four shifts tomorrow.) ）
