The two days passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was the seventh day of the seventh month. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the morning, before Mu Shi came to wake up, Liu Yong got dressed and lay in front of the window, holding his chin with only one hand, with a sad face.

"Brother Yong, I slept too hard, has my aunt already called me."

Liu Xun opened his eyes, sat up from the bed, rubbed his eyes with a worried face, saw Liu Yong in front of the windowsill, and asked with a yawn.

"Nope."

Liu Yong squeaked, but the person was still lying there motionless.

"Is it raining outside?"

Liu Xun slowed down for a while before he woke up completely, lifted the thin blanket he was wearing, and a cool breeze blew from the window, and the sound of rattling became clearer and clearer in his ears.

"It started to rain on the third watch, and it didn't stop, but it got heavier and heavier."

Liu Yong said, the sadness on his face became even stronger, and even his voice carried a sense of sadness.

"Wouldn't that be much cooler? I can finally stop being so stuffy today. Liu Xun said with a happy face.

"Aren't you worried?"

Liu Yong's right hand supporting his head was a little sore for a long time, but he didn't dare to replace it with his left hand, which was still painful, so he had to withdraw his hand and lie directly on the windowsill.

"What are you worried about? How nice is it when it's cool? Liu Xun asked rhetorically.

"Don't you know what day it is?"

"Well, the day before yesterday I went to Xiangguo Temple on the fifth day of July, then yesterday was the sixth day of July, and today is... On the seventh day of the seventh month, the Begging Festival? ”

Liu Xun snapped his fingers, counted for a long time, and said uncertainly.

"Do you know why you're not worried?" Liu Yong said angrily.

"Why worry?" Liu Xun scratched his head, not knowing why.

"Qixi Festival, how to come out to play when it rains?"

"Why do you want to come out to play during the Qixi Festival?"

"Then what did you do last year's Qixi Festival?" This time it was Liu Yong's turn to be surprised and asked.

Liu Xun broke his lips with his fingers, thought for a while, and said:

"Eat delicious food, there are a lot of melons and fruits, drinks, nuts. Oh, the seventh sister also gave me a sachet embroidered with a big rooster, which can be worn on the body to repel mosquitoes. ”

......

Liu Yong felt that he was about to go crazy, and talked to Niu for a long time. So he decided not to bother with Liu Xun before eating.

"Brother Yong and Brother Xun have gotten up to eat."

Mu Shi pushed open the door of the house, holding an umbrella that had just been closed in one hand, the tip of the umbrella pointed obliquely at the ground, and the rainwater remaining on the umbrella surface flowed down and fell low on the ground paved with green bricks, casting a dark shade.

Mu Shi looked at Liu Yong lying in front of the window and Liu Xun who was getting dressed in a little surprise, he didn't get up after calling several times on weekdays, and he got up today.

"It's time to eat."

Mu Shi spoke again, looked at Liu Yong with a sad face and asked:

"Brother Yong, what's wrong with you?"

"Nope. It's just that it's raining outside, and I can't go to Panlou at night. Liu Yong said sadly.

"It's okay, this rain won't rain in the afternoon at most, so it won't be delayed."

Mu stepped forward and touched Liu Yong's head and pulled him up.

"Yesterday it was still in the middle of the night, and I didn't go there at night."

Although the Tanabata Festival falls on July 7, it starts on the evening of July 6 in Tokyo. In previous years, on the evening of July 6, Pan Lou was shoulder to shoulder with each other, and it was very lively, which was even worse than the "noisy traffic and horses" and "phase after month" in the previous days.

But last night in Tokyo City, it has been non-stop, and there are few pedestrians on the street, and some of them say that they have gone out to play.

"How so. At this time, how can it rain for two days in a row? ”

Mu Shi said with relief. Kaifeng is located in the Central Plains, the location is northern, and there has never been a few days of heavy rain in Liu Yong's limited impression. Of course, this is the day when he did not experience "paddling for the boat". Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, Kaifeng has been burdened by floods many times, causing great losses.

However, in recent decades, there have been no days of heavy rain for several days before and after Tanabata.

"Really?"

Liu Yong looked up at his mother.

"Really!"

After breakfast, the rain finally lightened, but it was still falling. Mu Shi drove Liu Yong and Liu Xun back to the bedroom, and one of them changed into new clothes.

"I'm not a kid anymore."

Liu Yong was at the mercy of his mother, neatly dressed, muttering on his lips, but his heart was beautiful.

Kaifeng customs, when the Chinese Valentine's Day is celebrated, children are required to wear new clothes.

After Mu Shi put the clothes of the two people in order, he took two fresh lotus leaves with rods from the vase, and each person issued one.

"It's raining today, so you can use it as an umbrella when it's smaller, but don't lose it."

Qixi Festival, also known as the Qiqiao Festival, this festival that has been handed down as early as the Han Dynasty is naturally very lively. Bianliang City, which is the Kaifeng Prefecture of Tokyo, is naturally very special.

On the morning of the seventh day of the seventh month of July, as soon as the sky cleared, many government offices in the former Bianzhou Castle, which is now the inner city of Tokyo, were busy inside and out.

The classics of articles and historical materials collected in the library of Chongwen Academy were moved to a relatively dry place one by one, and one by one was spread out to dry. Miyagi is not idle, and a banquet is being prepared intensely. According to the "Dynasty Story", July 7 is the book festival, and the three provinces and six departments are below, each of which gives money to open a feast, which is the book drying party. At that time, the official family will also be present.

Cichen and some of the new scholars who had served in Beijing last year were allowed to enter the Chongwen Academy early in the morning to prepare for the banquet.

The palace is preparing, and the eunuchs who are not qualified to go to the palace and the scholars who have no merit are also preparing for the "literary meeting". The brothels on the streets and in the busy alleys are not idle, and the girls are either dressing themselves up in detail, or seriously rummaging through the thick vocabulary, looking for inspiration.

At this time of the year, there will be many Jinse articles and excellent poems from various "literary meetings", and there will often be one or two stories of "talented and beautiful women" in the area of Sweet Water Lane for people to sing for a while.

Of course, all this has nothing to do with Liu Yong. A "scholar" who has just finished learning Mengxue and started with a subset of classics and history, what words and "stories" can be left behind that are worth passing on? The ugly words that make people look uncomfortable can write a very flavorful new word without the artistic conception at all.

Every time the festival was approaching, Liu Yong felt that time seemed to have suddenly slowed down, and Liu Yong silently folded his fingers, not listening to what "Meng Banxian" said in front of him.

In the eyes of most students' parents, Mr. Meng is the most "responsible" gentleman in Chengnan, and there is no one. There is a basis for this assertion, that is, Mr. Meng's private school has the least vacation in the south of the city. Looking at the entire Bianjing City, there are few peers who can be as "responsible" as him.

Tanabata private school does not have a holiday.

In Mr. Meng's private school, except for the mid-year holiday, it is not the Lantern Festival of the first month, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is a festival that he himself spends himself, and all the time should be in the school.

Looking at Lu Banxian's gray hair, he has to stop and rest for a long time after walking for a long time, and even teach students to divide the level of "two halves", I don't think he will go to participate in any "boring" "word meeting" and "elegant gathering", the talented and beautiful woman is not suitable for his age, but the "old friends meeting" is more appropriate......

Of course, parents can also ask for leave for their children. But Qixi Festival, which really has nothing to do with these half-grown children in the school, does not have many reasons for parents to ask their children for leave. At most, it is to take it to Panlou "Qiqiao Market" at night to have a lively time. The bundles are all handed over, and it is best to study hard by Mr. Meng's side during the day.

Of course, there are also people in the school who have asked for leave today, one is the older "senior brother", and the other is the newly enlightened child "Liu Qi", the number is the same as last year.
