Chapter 35: Valentine's Day March 3rd
Shangsi Festival, the oldest Valentine's Day in China. In contrast, the Qixi Festival, which was emerging in the court of the Han Dynasty at that time, was just an entertainment game for the palace ladies to relieve loneliness. On the Shangsi Festival on March 3, in addition to offering and praying by the water, there are also groups of Huaichun men and women going out to find marriage, and celebrities feasting and drinking. Beauty splashing in the water and peony love are the favorite activities of young men and women. There is also a temple fair that attracts people from a radius of 100 miles to come lively, all kinds of snacks, toys and toys come in a cloud, and there are even operas to help out.
Huang Achu was dressed beautifully and added a bit of girlish delicacy, came to the front of Guo's courtyard early, and shouted loudly and affectionately for the little junior brother to enter the familiar living room, and Zuo Yuya, who was eating, felt like a female cat in heat broke in. Guo's students were still eating, Guo Tu greeted him, and said politely with a smile: "The little senior sister of the Huang family came by coincidence, just in time for Guo Jia to have breakfast, don't dislike this coarse tea and light rice, come and sit down together." Eat well in the morning, and only at noon will you have the strength to play. ”
Huang Achu looked at Guo's full seat, and there was a subordinate next to her beloved Guo Jia. She walked straight to Zuo Yuya and said to Guo Tu quite pleadingly: "Brother Gongze, little sister, I smell that the food eaten by Senior Brother Guo Jia is very fragrant, can I sit here and dine with Senior Brother?" ”
Huang Achu's eyes stared straight at Zuo Yuya's seat, which seemed to belong to her territory. Guo Tu bit his lip, how to make trouble for himself, how to forget her. At this time, Zuo Yuya smiled, and when she was about to get up, Guo Jia grabbed her, dropped her rice bowl and said, "Little senior sister, I've eaten well, you sit here, take a closer look at those things are fragrant!" Ask someone to bring you the same meal. ”
Zuo Yuya put aside Guo Jia's hand and said respectfully: "Senior Sister Huang is a distinguished guest, I should let it, just don't dislike me as a subordinate who has sat down." ”
Guo Tu smiled again and said: "Isn't it just a seat, everyone is crowding, add a mat, hurry up and add one." ”
Huang Achu looked at Guo Jia and said with a smile: "Oh, senior sister, I just ate a bite of your meal, and I was angry, the little junior brother is really angry, will my sister give you a table of banquet at noon?" I also came after fasting and bathing, and I turned my face to look, my pious heart was still pounding, and you scared me, and I was very pitiful. ”
As she spoke, she teased Guo Jia with her hands and feet, as if everyone was not there.
Guo Jia was a little crying and laughing, as if she had suddenly become her own mistake, obviously she was the little senior sister, and she grabbed people's seats domineeringly as soon as she came up. Fasting and bathing is for the Shangsi Festival, and it can also be said that it sounds like it was specially done to visit Guo's Courtyard, and this small mouth can really say that other people's truths are their own.
After the mat was taken, Huang Achu turned his back to Guo Jia and said to Zuo Yuya with a bad face: "I don't want your mat, why don't you take it away quickly, find a place to stay by yourself." Then he circled around Guo Jia with a sweet face.
Zuo Yuya picked up the mat and prepared to leave like an angry little daughter-in-law. Guo Jia was very distressed, but he didn't want Huang Achu to know Zuo Yuya's identity, otherwise everyone in Yingchuan Academy would know, even if Guo Tu wanted to hide it from the sect elder, it would be impossible, then the love between him and Ya Meier would suffer another crisis, endure!
At this time, Guo Tu pressed Guo Jia onto the mat, hurriedly faced Huang Achu, waved his hands, and said, "Senior Sister Huang is a distinguished guest, come to the seat, there is still a piece of land between Guo Jia and me, come here." Then he pointed at Zuo Yuya and said, "You can do it there!" Let's hurry up and eat, the suburban festival doesn't wait for anyone, and Guo is not allowed to pull back his legs! ”
This meal was disturbed by the grumpy little witch, and everyone was cautiously bowing their heads to eat, Huang Achu's methods are very clear to everyone here, Xun Qing is here to vomit blood. The Guo clan was only wronged by Zuo Yuya in their hearts, and no one dared to show any face.
In previous years, they all went to Yinghe to worship and pray for blessings, but this year due to the reason that the eight gates of the golden lock array were closed, the Buddha Cave River of Huishan Mountain became an ideal place for everyone. Under the bright sunshine, the gusts of wind carried the fragrance of orchids, and the girls' songs and swallows floated to Guo Jia and others. The beauties after bathing yesterday are even more charming, like hibiscus out of the water, all of them are beautiful. Guo Jia looked at those early
Coming early, the girls and boys sitting by the river began to move forward heroically.
There is a beautiful woman in a pink dress with a red ribbon around her waist, and her sassy demeanor is sultry; There are also young girls dancing, and the hems of their clothes dancing in the wind add a few different styles; and the quiet girl who looked down at the flowing water quietly passing between her hands, and her posture was very loving; There is also the shyness of the beautiful man holding the peony elbow and peeking at the beautiful boy, which is different kind of cuteness; There is also the talented girl who focuses on painting, the uniqueness of everything is very attractive, and at the moment she is a beautiful picture, attracting everyone's attention, and some nodding in approval. These forms are inexhaustible. Guo Jia only has fresh beautiful girls in his eyes, and even Zuo Yuya and Huang Achu around him have forgotten for a while, let alone other scholars! He was chasing the walking beauty on the road, while Zuo Yuya and Huang Achu behind him were chasing him. In the season of March, it always makes people's hearts float, and even the peony flowers in the hands of the beautiful woman are like a weak willow and a weak and boneless girl. Different situations affect different moods, such as the life of temperament. In the eyes of some people, it is like a picture, while in the eyes of others, it is just a landscape.
Cai Wenji added a bit of coquettish dress to the elegance, carrying Jiao Weiqin to look for the lover who gave her a hot feeling.
Xun Yu took the frustrated Xun Qing to the place agreed with Chen Qun to create a chance encounter, and on the way, his eyes were also rolling around, like an eagle looking for a rabbit. The beauties in front of him were not the prey he was looking for, in the end, what he wanted to hunt was the red person like a fire lotus, and Xun Qing's eyes no longer had the brilliance of the past, just following his footsteps.
Guo Jia in Zuo Yuya's eyes seems to be getting smaller and smaller in this great spring, in this time and space controlled by the suburban goddess, people seem to have lost themselves, their eyes are full of figures of the opposite sex, full of dazzling, and their hearts are comfortable.
Many people in the collective sacrifice are symbolically sprinkled with water to remove the filth of winter. Compared with it, it is still the sultry feeling of borrowing water.
Then some people go on an outing, some go to the temple fair, some people play the piano and sing by the river, and some confess their love......
On the Shangsi Festival, the loss is more of a feeling, and those beautiful flowers and bones are expressing the love that is waiting to be released.
