Chapter 11: Lovesickness Festival (1)
August 14, 'Acacia Festival'.
Early in the morning, after Mengyun served Dongmei to get up and freshen up, she returned to her room......
The most idle time for the sisters in the 'Fengyue Building' is in the morning, and there are no customers visiting the brothel in the morning. At this time, the sisters usually raise flowers and grass or drink tea and chat to pass the time, and Dongmei's favorite thing to do is to stay in the room alone and read a book.
Mengyun knew that Dongmei liked to be quiet, so every time she was reading, Mengyun would help her close the door and leave quietly......
At this moment, Mengyun was lying on the bed bored.
While playing with the dagger in her hand, she thought about the case, and fell into a trance......
At this time, Zi Yan crept in......
She saw Mengyun lying on the bed in a daze, so she quietly walked over and snatched the dagger from her hand.
Mengyun was startled by her, and quickly reacted, she said, "Ziyan, don't make trouble. Give it back to me! ”
Zi Yan put the dagger behind her, and she said with a smile: "I'll tell you good news, Zhang Erbao wants to see you." ”
Mengyun said lazily: "I don't want to see him, I haven't spoken much to him." ”
Zi Yan sat down on the edge of the bed, showed a mysterious expression, and said, "But he said that it was about Chun Tao, I don't know if you are interested in hearing it." ”
When Mengyun heard the word 'spring peach', she quickly sat up from the bed.
Zhang Erbao must have come to provide clues, and he must see him.
She asked Zi Yan anxiously, "Where is Zhang Erbao?" ”
Seeing Mengyun's anxious appearance, Zi Yan couldn't help but make fun of her, and said, "A little guy wants to see you, so he will rush you like this?" He's waiting for you under the big tree in the yard! Go for it! ”
Mengyun got out of bed in a hurry, put on embroidered shoes, and ran out in a hurry......
Under a big tree in the yard.
Zhang Erbao wears a jet-black hat, a cyan short coat on his upper body, a pair of wide-waisted trousers on his lower body, and a pair of black cloth shoes on his feet.
He saw Mengyun coming over, and he didn't know why his face was red.
I saw him lower his head and said softly: "Mengyun, today is the 'Acacia Festival', let's go to the Acacia River outside the city to see the excitement." ”
Hearing this, Mengyun couldn't help but roll her eyes and said: "'Acacia Festival' is a day for single men and women to meet, and it is also a festival for private life. What are we two going to do there? Didn't you say you had something to tell me about Chun Momo? ”
Zhang Erbao blushed shyly, he looked at his toes, and said shyly: "It's not convenient to talk here, let's go to the Acacia River outside the city, and I'll tell you about Chun Tao when we get there." ”
As he spoke, he handed over something.
Mengyun reached out and took it, it was a very beautifully woven concentric knot.
On the day of the 'Acacia Festival', it can be seen that Zhang Erbao's meaning is very obvious.
Mengyun is not ready to fall in love, and all her thoughts are now occupied by the case of Chun Tao. So much so that this exquisite concentric knot made her a little dazed, and she stood there at a loss, feeling that her palms were slightly hot, and her heartbeat seemed to be much faster than usual.
She lowered her head, glanced at her slightly bulging breasts, and secretly thought to herself, "What should I do?" What to do? How can Zhang Erbao take a fancy to me? What the hell did he think? I've never thought about it! Shall I return the concentric knot to him now? If I give it back to him, will he still tell me about Chun Tao? ”
Zhang Erbao saw that Mengyun didn't speak, he said hesitantly: "Actually, what I want to tell you is the matter between Chun Tao and Dong Mei. ”
Mengyun thought in his heart, "Zhang Erbao has been here for at least a few years, and he knows a lot more than I know. Although he was deliberately trying to get close to me, why didn't I take the opportunity to get some more words out of his mouth? Maybe what he said really had something to do with Chun Tao's death. Just now he was talking about the relationship between Chun Tao and Dong Mei, and I really want to hear about it. Also, since I came to this 'Fengyue Tower', I haven't gone out to take a good look. I used to live a poor life, and I often worried about not having enough to eat, so how could I have the heart to play? Now that I have food and clothing, it's time to relax. Since today is the 'Acacia Festival', let's go out and see the excitement! ”
Thinking of this, she just wanted to speak: "......"
At this time, Zi Yan walked over.
She saw the concentric knot in Mengyun's hand, with an envious expression, and said to Mengyun knowingly: "What you are holding in your hand is a token of love!" Who sent it? Is there anything else but concentric knots? ”
Mengyun blushed shyly, she hurriedly returned the concentric knot to Zhang Erbao, and said shyly: "Take it back!" I can't ask for your things, and I can't give them away. ”
Zhang Erbao's face instantly showed a hint of embarrassment, and he resignedly said: "I gave you this concentric knot, you better accept it!" If you don't, I'll be very sad. ”
Zi Yan grinned, and hurriedly said to the side: "Yes, take it!" Take it! If you don't take it, he'll cry! ”
Mengyun couldn't cry or laugh a little, it was not right to accept it, and it was not right not to accept it.
Zi Yan handed the dagger back to Mengyun and asked hesitantly, "Mengyun, is this dagger yours?" ”
Mengyun hurriedly put the dagger into his arms and said with certainty: "Of course it's mine, it's me who has been with me since I was a child." ”
Zi Yan scratched her head, thought about it and said, "I seem to have seen this dagger somewhere, I remember the plum blossom pattern on the hilt." ”
Hearing this, Mengyun's heart moved violently.
I saw her eyes widen suddenly, grabbed Zi Yan's shoulders and shook them vigorously, and said anxiously, "Tell me quickly, when did you see you?" Where did you see it? ”
Zi Yan touched her head and said hesitantly: "It should be before you came, I can't remember it now, I'll tell you when I think about it." ”
Mengyun suddenly became extremely excited, and the owner of the dagger that Zi Yan saw was most likely her sister. In other words, Sister A is also in this 'Fengyue Building'.
Mengyun's mind once again resurfaced Dongmei's beautiful face, and a strong sense of familiarity came to his heart. Perhaps, Sister A is by her side, and she will soon be able to recognize Sister A.
Thinking of this, Mengyun was in a good mood, and she said to Zi Yan with a smile: "Today is the 'Acacia Festival', let's go out for a walk together!" ”
Hearing this, Zi Yan clapped her hands happily and said, "Okay! I haven't been out in a long time. Today! Maybe I'll meet a wishful man outside! ”
Mengyun teased her and said, "I'm really ashamed, how old are you!" ”
Zi Yan also made fun of Mengyun and said, "If you are allowed to be accompanied, you won't let me find one too!" ”
Mengyun pretended to beat her, but Zi Yan ran away with a smile......
Mengyun said hello to Aunt Feng and left the 'Fengyue Tower' with Zi Yan and Zhang Erbao......
Today, the streets of this capital city are really lively!
On both sides of the street, there are teahouses, taverns, pawnshops, gambling houses, and there are many small vendors selling stalls in the surrounding open space.
At this time, there were many pedestrians on the street, some in a hurry, some in delivery, and some stopped to watch the purchase and sale of goods. There are monkeys, there are performers, and there are those who sell their children and daughters on the street......
Mengyun and Zi Yan took Zhang Erbao to stop and go, watching as they walked, and it took them a long time to come to the bank of the Acacia River outside Shengdu City......
There are more people here, and most of them are single men and women who are not married. There are also those who come to see the excitement after getting married and some small traders who are busy making money.
These handsome men and beauties kept shuttling back and forth in the crowd, searching for them with their keen eyes, hoping to see their crush in the next moment.
In each of them has a concentric knot that they have carefully woven in their hands, which is a token of love. As soon as they see the person they like, they will immediately run over and hand him or her the knot, and if the other party accepts, they agree to get along. Then two people can find a place with less one person to fall in love. If the negotiation is good, then the man can choose a good day and ask the local matchmaker to officially go to the woman's house to propose. Of course, Geng Ti and the bride price should also be brought together......
Heaven has created the sacred tree of 'love' on earth. It makes countless handsome men and beauties compete to worship and worship carefully. In the end, some people pick the sweet fruit of love, while some people pick the bitter fruit of love......
Mengyun and Zi Yan took Zhang Erbao to find a place with fewer people and sat down.
Looking at the slowly flowing Acacia River in front of him, Mengyun's heart actually gave birth to a kind of peace that he had never felt before.
At this time, several young sons walked in front of them.
One of them pointed at them, only to hear the other son say loudly: "Such a beautiful little girl, why is there a little girl sitting next to her, what a flower is stuck in cow dung." ”
The sons next to them laughed "haha" when they heard it......
Zhang Erbao's face was flushed, and he pretended not to hear......
I saw him purse his lips, and he made a lot of determination before he spoke: "Mengyun, since I first saw you, I fell in love with your beautiful face. Every day I am tormented by anticipation, and I can't help but miss you in my heart. In my dreams, your gentle appearance appeared in front of my eyes again and again. I want to engrave my love for you on the Sansheng Stone, and bring my love for you into the Valley of Lovers, a hundred years of practice can only be exchanged for passing by, and only a thousand years of love can achieve your marriage with me......"
Zi Yan next to her heard Zhang Erbao's affectionate confession, she couldn't help laughing, "You two talk first, I'll go to the bridge to see the excitement." ”
With that, she got up and left......
Mengyun looked at Zi Yan's back, and her heart collided like a deer.
