Chapter 43: The Story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl (I)

The cool breeze blows, blowing on the face with a trace of coolness, in this night of Chang'an City, few people walk on the road, the curfew is about to begin, everywhere on this street will be patrolled by the Wuhou who wears a horizontal knife, in this era of no nightlife, sunset and rest has become a habit for everyone, they have returned to their homes early, and then quietly wait for the rising sun tomorrow.

Li Kuan did not ride a horse, and lingered in the night of Chang'an City with two maids, and those Wuhou who patrolled the streets wanted to come forward to investigate, but before they could get closer, they were stopped by a group of mysterious people who suddenly appeared, and then they avoided it from a distance after talking a few words. Li Kuan keenly felt the changes here, but he didn't say anything about it, this is privilege, the special power that his identity brings over ordinary people. If he wasn't the second prince of the Tang Empire, or the son of Li Er, then he would definitely be stopped and investigated by those fierce gods and vicious killings now. But who made it not the time when everyone was equal? In this day and age, it's so unbalanced.

In any case, as long as it doesn't disturb him to take his two pretty maids to look at the stars. Looking at the vast stars in the sky, it is so distant and quiet, in the vast night sky, the shining stars represent the stars that are more blazing than the sun. Even the most prescient people of our time could not have imagined this, as they all thought that the sun was the largest star in the sky, and that the moon was much larger than these tiny stars.

Thinking of this, Li Kuan couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

"Master, what are you laughing at?" Amaka tilted her head sideways. The big eyes had a curious look, brighter than the brightest stars in the night sky. This girl has also grown up, and now she is also an eleven or twelve-year-old girl. In this era, in two years, he will reach the age of Heqiang, and he will almost be able to get married. The small figure has begun to take shape, just like the two little pigeons on the chest, which have been slightly raised, supporting a pink palace clothes, forming an arc like a small hill. The voice is like a silver bell, with a hint of sweetness, soft and indescribably comfortable.

"The master remembered a story and laughed at those idiots in the world!" Li Kuan looked at the bright Milky Way in the night sky, then pointed to the Milky Way and said to Tianxiang, "Have you seen that Milky Way?" ”

"See. That's Tianhe, but why is the young master laughing? "Tianxiang also knows the galaxy, but she still doesn't understand.

"Tianxiang, since the master has already opened the conversation, he will naturally say it, don't worry! When you are in a hurry, the master will be happy! Redsleeves reminded aside.

"Oh!" Xiao Tianxiang replied in a daze, not understanding why when he was in a hurry to ask, the master would be happy, but as long as the master was happy, he would ask.

"Legend has it. In fact, in the beginning, there was no such Milky Way in the sky, and there were immortals in the sky, who lived in the heavenly court, and the ruler of the heavenly court was called the Jade Emperor. In heaven, just like in the palace, it is forbidden for men to love women, and only the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother are qualified to decide whether the gods can be together. As long as the immortals who marry without permission will be punished......" Li Kuan slowly told a mythical story.

"In heaven, there was a fairy. She is called the Weaver Girl, and the clouds she weaves are the most beautiful. It is also the most loved by the immortals of the heavenly court. It's just that on this day, after the Weaver Girl finished her work in the sky, she looked at the scenery of the world and saw a man named Dong Yong, who was selling himself to bury his father! "Li Kuan, this guy's bad taste is starting to attack, and he is pulling Lang indiscriminately, isn't this a cowherd without a weaver girl, so will there be such a magical cow?

"Master, don't talk nonsense, the Weaver Girl is obviously married to the Cowherd, what Dong Yong?" In fact, the earliest record of the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl is about in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, mentioned in a book called "Narrative Differences", the original text is: "In the east of the great river, there are beautiful beauties, who are the sons of the Emperor of Heaven, the female workers of the machine, working hard all year round, weaving into the clothes of clouds and mist silk, hard work is not happy, the appearance is not timely, the Emperor of Heaven pities his solitude, marries the morning glory in Hexi as his wife, and since then he has abolished the work of weaving, and he is greedy for joy and does not return." The emperor is angry, blames Hedong, and meets once a year. ”

Red Sleeves was well-read in the past, and he happened to have seen this story, and he loved this story very much, so when he saw Li Kuan making up so nonsense, he couldn't help but refute it.

"Really? By the way, I remembered, it was indeed a cowherd. This cowherd lives with his brother and sister-in-law, because his parents died, so he can only herd cattle for his brother. He said, "Old cow, old cow, why aren't you a cow?" Li Kuan's spoof cells were out of control as soon as they started to attack, so the Cowherd and Weaver Girl began to turn sour.

Red Sleeves has never heard such a story, she only knows that the Weaver Girl and the Cowherd have come together with each other, but the book "Narrative of Differences" was just one sentence, how could there be these details, so she can't justify it, so she can only listen to it first.

At that moment, the cow suddenly spoke! It said, 'Cowherd, what do you mean, don't come nonsense, I'm a serious cow!' The Cowherd was taken aback: "Old Niu, can you speak?" And so the story of a man and a cow began! The more Li Kuan talked, the more unserious he became, which had something to do with his experience on this expedition, because this time his decision was too burdensome for him to bear. How could he not know that biological weapons are really extremely dangerous, and if he didn't pay attention to it, he would set himself on fire, relying on the cowpox juice that came out of the system, and then he dared to use smallpox as a biochemical bomb to detonate Tuyuhun.

But after all, it is a nation, even if it is a heinous nation, even if it is a cannibal. But on the plateau, they also saw a lot of small tribes, such a small tribe as they were just three or two households together, driving their cattle and sheep, chasing the water and grass on the plateau, even if they had the heart, they were unable to participate in Tuyuhun's plundering of the Tang Dynasty. However, these people will definitely not survive this disaster that swept the entire Tuyuhun. This made Li Kuan feel a little guilty in his heart, he hated those Tuyuhun people who had abducted the Tang Dynasty, but he had that extra sympathy in his heart. So through this story, he became unscrupulous to soothe the feeling of guilt in his heart.

"The cowherd said to his cow, 'Old cow, do you know that as a man, he always tosses and turns at night! Do you have a way to help me solve it? The cow objected on the spot: 'Cowherd, what's wrong with you?' I haven't known you for so many years, you can fall asleep and blow snot bubbles when you fall into the haystack, and you can't sleep, let's say, are you looking at the little widow next door? Li Kuan's words became more and more outrageous, and the red sleeves wanted to stop it, but when he saw that Li Kuan's brows, which had been depressed since he came back, he began to relax, and he couldn't help but stop his mouth, but Xiao Tianxiang listened to it with relish.

On this day, Cowherd's brother is going to split up with him, because Cowherd has grown up, but their family is really poor, and there is no money for Cowherd to marry a daughter-in-law, so his brother and sister-in-law came up with such a way to divide Cowherd to live, so that he doesn't have to pay for his daughter-in-law. The Cowherd's brother said to the Cowherd, 'You can choose one thing now, take it away from this house, and live alone from now on!' The Cowherd thought about it and chose his sister-in-law, and the two brothers fought like this, and at last his brother was so strong that he almost killed the Cowherd, and then said to him, 'Now you don't want to take anything with you but the cow.' From then on, the cowherd eloped with his own cow. Li Kuan added many jokes that he had seen in later generations, and the more he talked about it, the more unserious it became.

"Master, why did the Cowherd choose his sister-in-law to fight with his brother?" Although Tianxiang has slowly understood the things of men and women, she is still a pure girl like a little white flower when she is pure.

"Okay, don't ask this, just listen to the master, and you will naturally understand when you grow up in the future!" Although Red Sleeves felt that this absurd story would soothe the sorrow in Li Kuan's heart, he didn't want to spoil the little girl Tianxiang, so he didn't allow the girl to ask out loud.

"Oh!" In the past two years, Tianxiang has become accustomed to listening to Red Sleeves, as long as Li Kuan does not speak against Red Sleeves, she will listen, so she will not ask that question anymore.

"'Old cow, it's us now, do you say you're doing something shameful?' The cowherd said to his cow! 'Stop! Cowherd, I am really a serious cow, I resolutely sell my art and do not sell my body, everything else can be discussed, but my ice and jade body will definitely not let you spoil it! I know where there are fairies bathing, I'll take you! The old cow took the cowherd to a hot spring pool in the mountains: "Every time the moon is full here, the fairies in the sky will come down to freshen up, and then you will go and grab that pink garment, you know?" The old cow stood on the edge of the waterhole and explained to the cowherd. Li Kuan said as he walked, and the slightly undisciplined thoughts in his mind became stories in his mouth at this moment, and then began to poison Lori, a girl with pure three views in this era.

"'Why are you grabbing that pink dress?' Isn't it nice to have other colors, but my favorite is green! The Cowherd was puzzled. 'What do you know, only that pink one is silk, and the rest is dyed with linen, knowing that if you don't buy that fairy wearing pink is the illegitimate daughter of the Jade Emperor of the Heavens! The old cow hated that iron could not be made of steel, and knocked on the cowherd's head, and then said. Li Kuan heard a muffled sound behind him, and he scolded in his heart: The guys of this gang of Baiqi Division are really undetermined! (To be continued......)
