XVII Gentleness
Beijing City God's Temple has always been a well-known prosperous place, here brings together the three religions and nine streams, all kinds of classes from the south to the north, has always been shoulder to shoulder, crowds of people, there are indispensable dignitaries in the crowd, there are ordinary ordinary people, there are also some strange people who are particularly eye-catching, local agriculture and industry, men and women, old and young, all kinds of people and so on. The reason why there is a mixture of fish and dragons, the population is mixed, in addition to the many shops, hawkers like clouds, there are many lively things to see, such as the flying knife under the overpass, draw a circle on the spot, a tall and strong man with two flying knives in his hand, is playing to the onlookers, the knife flickered left and right, bright light, as if it grew in his palm, there is no sign of getting rid of his hand, the man played up, I don't know where to get out of two knives, four knives in the hand into a line, only to see the knife flashing, not to see the man's face; There is also the crowd of tricksters, holding a peach blossom, blowing kung fu peach blossoms and disappearing, just when everyone is amazed, suddenly see the magic palm turned over, actually produced a big and red peach, a group of people applauded and cheered. In addition, there are also geisha who sing lotus flowers, perform shadow puppets and ventriloquist performances, all of which attract a large number of pedestrians to stop and watch.
However, unlike in the past, today a shed is very lively, this shed is different from other places, the four pillars are covered with red veil, and when the wind blows, it will float out of the charm of Qini, which is particularly eye-catching from afar, and most of the people in front of this shed are men, and they are already surrounded by water, and the people outside are tiptoeing and stretching their necks, eager to stare out their eyes. This caused more people to pour in like water, and only to hear the people behind ask the people in front, "What are you doing here?" Why is it so lively? The person in front of him said impatiently while squeezing in: "I haven't seen it yet, alas, who stepped on my foot." ”
This situation also attracted a young girl in the distance, one of the girls was graceful, with slender eyes, and a slightly dark complexion, just looking at the expression on her face showed the arrogance of a rich and noble family, and then looking at the clothes on her body was even more rich and compelling, she was followed by a man and a woman, like a guard and a maid, the guard's figure was tall, which made people fearful, although the maid next to him had an ordinary appearance, but her face was shrewd. The two of them tightly guarded the girl in front of them, not daring to let pedestrians squeeze her. This girl seems to love to join in the fun, she saw a group of people in front of her from a distance, but she couldn't help but want to rush over to see what was going on, she excitedly said to the guards and maids behind her: "The capital is much more lively than the grassland, I don't know what is strange in front, how can there be so many people, let's go over and see the excitement." This girl originally looked like she was rolling up her sleeves and holding her arms, but she only took two or three steps, and suddenly exclaimed, and hurriedly shrank her head, and said to the maid beside her: "Bizhu, Ding Dewu, I saw Xiang Dewu." "It turns out that this girl is Fang Hongfen, she is very interested today, taking advantage of the good spring weather, Fang De has to come out to play, Fang De has always had no temper in front of his beloved daughter, so he had to let Bizhu and the guard Fang Fei accompany her.
Fang Hongfen was in a hurry to run forward to see the excitement, but suddenly saw a face flashing in the crowd, it was Ding Dewu, her heart couldn't help jumping up, she was an arrogant and unruly woman, but at this time she suddenly felt a little timid, her eyes blinked, she took a deep breath, and couldn't help but think of what Ding Dewu said that night: "The girl I like should have big eyes, white complexion, and gentle temperament." As soon as her eyes rolled, her steps slowed down, and she whispered "gentle and gentle" in her mouth, while thinking, like those delicate and weak Beijing women, do you walk with your left foot or your right foot first? She was hesitating, and suddenly Ding Dewu was no longer visible in the crowd, she stomped her feet and muttered: "I'd better be gentle when I see people first, otherwise my pretty eyebrows and eyes will be in vain." Thinking of this, she exerted herself again, and her feet ran forward as if they were flying.
Here Liu Hongfen's mind went up and down, and over there Ding Dewu didn't know anything about the situation behind him, he was accompanying Zhu Houzhao to look into the shed in the crowd with great interest at this time, and several guards on the side surrounded Zhu Houzhao without missing a trace. Today, Ding Dewu went to the leopard room to ask Zhu Houzhao about his father's last visit, but he didn't expect Zhu Houzhao to go out to play in microclothes, and when he saw Ding Dewu coming, he pulled him out together, Ding Dewu couldn't resist him, so he had to go out with him. Now that the two of them came to the City God Temple, they saw that there was a lively to see, Zhu Houzhao immediately came to be interested, how could he have the momentum of the Ninety-Five at this time, I saw him with two arms, and he got into it along the cracks, and Ding Dewu on the side made a clever move, and also squeezed in through the crowd. Ding Dewu's eyes were sharp, and he immediately saw that there was a table in the shed, and there were three girls wearing white yarn on the platform who were twisting their bodies, although it was spring in March, but it was still a little early to wear the yarn, Zhu Hou took care of the three girls, although they were at a good age, but their posture was average, at most they were more enchanting, and the hazy white yarn loomed in revealing jade-like skin. Zhu Houzhao didn't see it twice, he felt bored, he had seen a lot of beauties, these three women couldn't be interested at all, he pouted, thinking about what these people had seen, even such a rough girl flocked to it, the knowledge was too shallow, he was about to squeeze it out, when he suddenly heard someone next to him say impatiently: "Why is it endless, then Liniang should come out." When Zhu Houzhao heard this, his body immediately stopped again, thinking that so many people were looking at the woman named Liniang, so he had to take a look.
The three women sang and danced lightly for a while, and finally heard a gong, and the three of them closed their momentum, blessed everyone, and hurriedly got off the stage, and the people below couldn't help shouting: "Li Niang, Li Niang." "The sound is higher and higher.
At this time, even Ding Dewu couldn't help but be curious, thinking to himself what kind of woman this woman named Li Niang could cause such a big reaction. His eyebrows were slightly furrowed, his eyes were full of curiosity, and his white teeth touched his lips, but this happened to fall into the eyes of Fang Hongfen who squeezed in, she couldn't help but slow down her heart by half a beat, and she didn't notice that most of the men around her were a group of men, so she couldn't help but look at Ding Dewu with stupid eyes, and everything in heaven and earth was like a decoration.
