Chapter 166: The tone is not small

Now Ye Yu has completely understood one thing, that is, no matter how outstanding he is, he can't stand up to these deep-rooted party officials.

As soon as he was about to propose the establishment of the academy, he was besieged by a group of people, so he had already seen the current situation clearly.

In addition to printing his writings, the main purpose of the development of movable type printing was to let these people in the DPRK and China see it, but they could not get it.

Isn't it said that KitKat is difficult to get into the hall of elegance? Then hang the appetite of these people with this, but the will of the world's poor people is enough to crush these pretentious Confucians!

Ye Yu's move is actually selfish, and he has always been obsessed with the matter of offering advice on cloth last time.

In exchange for the country, he didn't want this kind of thing to happen again, let alone always be a good person, and he didn't want to be a person who only gave and didn't want to return.

In the blink of an eye, it is July, and this July is lively with the Qixi Festival on July 7.

The Qixi Festival, also known as the Qiqiao Festival, is no less than the Spring Festival Gala in the Southern Song Dynasty.

At a time when Zhu Xi's Cheng Zhu Lixue's ideas were not popularized, women were not free like in the Ming and Qing dynasties. On this occasion, young men and women, regardless of their wealth, take to the streets in their most beautiful new clothes.

And the rich and noble, on the high-rise pavilion to arrange a feast, men, women and children, together to celebrate the festival, at the same time in the open courtyard, put the incense table, the girls lined up in a row, to the bright moon to bow down, to the cowherd and weaver girl begging.

The women threaded needles and threads when the Cowherd and Weaver Girls met that night, or learned some needlework from the female red, in order to expect to get love and the like.

As the Valentine's Day of the East, its poetic Cheng dΓΉ is far more romantic than that of later generations.

Women place romantic love, and men naturally look forward to the encounter of good fate, so since entering July, Lin'an, the capital, has one more occupation, that is, the profession of writing poetry.

Most of these sons of the capital are unlearned and unskilled, if you want to meet a beautiful woman and get a heart at this Qixi Festival, you have to have a literary style.

The Great Song Dynasty's policy of establishing the country with literature made the Han people have unprecedented admiration for poetry and literary talent. This is also why there is always a story among the people that the Qinglou woman does not love gold and silver and loves scholars.

An era, a pursuit, a history, an obsession!

As everyone knows, Su Dongpo has an ugly appearance and a bumpy career, but he is still admired by many women, which may be the humanistic values of the Great Song Dynasty.

It is precisely because of this that these poems writing on behalf of Lin'an have become extremely popular recently.

In the past few days, Ye Yu's mansion has been discussing the matter of marriage, and the bachelor's mansion is very festive. This time, Ye Yu got married, not only to marry Su Yueyun, but also to marry Qiulan.

Ye Yu originally planned to worship heaven and earth together with the three of them, so that it could be regarded as a compensation for Qiulan. But as soon as this construction was said, it was immediately opposed by Yang Hui and Su Quanzhong.

Yang Hui's objection was because it was not in accordance with the etiquette law, after all, Qiulan was a servant girl, and it was really a little sensitive to match Ye Yu.

And Su Quanzhong's opposition is to complain about his daughter! Although Su Quanzhong knew that Qiulan was important in Ye Yu's heart, the position of this wife must be his daughter.

But Ye Yu is very persistent about this matter, there is no big or small in his eyes, since he wants to marry, he can't treat Qiulan badly. In the end, it was Qiulan who strongly proposed to back down, and the matter was resolved.

However, since there is a difference in the order of marriage, Ye Yu plans to marry two in one day, and it is the first time that the two have been married, and it must be different to be interesting.

The night of Tanabata is very lively, and the streets are lit up with thousands of families.

This beautiful night, Ye Yu naturally didn't want to miss it, so he took Qiulan to stroll on the street.

Originally, Ye Yu planned to take Su Yueyun to play together, but the wedding is imminent, and there are rules that men and women should not meet. In the face of this old-fashioned rule, Ye Yu could only compromise.

Although everyone was overwhelmed by such a lively scene, many people still turned back one after another where Ye Yu passed. This made Ye Yu, who was playing, feel very distressed, because his exposure rate was too high.

I knew that when Song Jin was in the duel, he was not so high-profile, but now his face walked to Lin'an Street, which was a moving signboard.

"Young Master, where's your fan?" Qiulan was beside her, and saw that Ye Yu's hand was empty, so she asked curiously.

Ye Yu shook his head helplessly, looked at the people who rushed over just now, and said with a wry smile: "I was squeezed by this group of people and fell there......

"I'll help you find it, maybe it's nearby!" Qiulan looked around as she spoke, bowing her head and searching carefully.

"Okay, don't look for it, it's not easy to find something on this crowded street, it's just a folding fan, let's go, there must be something fun in front of the crowd gathering!"

"Really, young master, let's go and take a look......"

Nineteen-year-old Qiulan was already a big girl in the Song Dynasty, but she was still a girl. As soon as I heard that there was something interesting in front of me, I immediately forgot about looking for a folding fan.

"Hey, you slow down......" Qiu Lan took her hand and dragged her all the way forward, making Ye Yu feel speechless for a moment.

The two of them came to the gathering place of the crowd one after the other.

When Ye Yu raised his eyes to take a look, he found that there was a high platform in front of him, and everyone pointed and didn't know what they were talking about.

"Young master, look, that lamp looks good!"

Ye Yu looked in the direction pointed by Qiulan, and saw that there were really lanterns on the high platform, although the workmanship was not as beautiful as the Chuzhou Lantern Festival back then, but it was also unique and chic.

Moreover, Ye Yu also knew that this lantern was different from the lantern of the Lantern Festival. There is a custom of putting lanterns on the Qixi Festival, and these lamps are made of special materials.

This is because among the customs of putting lanterns is not only prayer lanterns that fly high in the sky, but also candle lamps that float in the water.

Therefore, every Qixi Festival, whether it is the moat or the West Lake or the Qiantang River, you will find that the sparks on the water are very spectacular.

In order to make these lanterns float in the water for a long time, people use yellow wax to smear and dye the paper, and then make zuΓ² into geese, mandarin ducks, water birds, turtles, fish, etc., and paint golden threads, put them in the water, and call them "floating on the water".

Write down the words in your heart on a piece of paper and put them into a lantern, whether it is a candlelight floating on the water or a Kong Ming lantern flying into the night sky, it is a way to convey feelings and blessings.

"It turns out that you like lanterns, go, I'll make one for you when you go back, ...... back then"

Ye Yu was about to talk about his victory in the Lantern Festival that year, but he saw a man on the high platform at this moment and said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, today is the Begging Festival, which can be described as a great expectation. Therefore, the old man Li Dafu, as the largest lantern shop in the city, held the 'Talented and Beautiful Woman Welcome the Moon Night' here! ”

As soon as Li Dafu's words fell, they immediately attracted everyone's applause.

"This year's gifts are more than in previous years, but the novelty is different every year! All the talented and beautiful people present, who are willing to show their skills, can sign up......"

"Come on, come on, don't miss it, the only condition to participate in this competition is that a man and a woman are indispensable!"

After Li Dafu finished speaking, many men and women went to sign up.

In the crowd, Ye Yu saw that the rules of this competition were quite interesting, so he asked Qiulan beside him: "Why don't we participate in it too?" ”

"Young master, let's go back, go back and make a good ...... for Qiulan"

Qiulan's words were slightly disappointed, Ye Yu saw that she was still reluctant to look at the mandarin duck playing lantern, and then asked: "Since we like that lantern, wouldn't it be better for us to win it back?" ”

"But ......, but Qiulan doesn't understand anything, and she will compete for a while, worrying about dragging her ......"

"So you're worried about this!"

Ye Yu was immediately happy when he heard this, and then comforted: "What are you afraid of, aren't you still here?" Don't say it's a mandarin duck playing in the water lantern, tonight you just want the moon in the sky, and I will take it off for you! ”

"Young Master......" Qiu Lan was overshadowed by Ye Yu's words, and her emotional eyes were clouded with a layer of mist.

"Okay, don't cry, don't cry, just follow me in a while!"

"Hmm!"

His words were by no means sweet words, but heartfelt attitudes. The feelings for Qiulan, a maidservant, are very complicated for him.

In addition to the original like, it is more of the unclear kindness.

He will not forget the predicament of being kicked out of the Ye family back then, like a dead dog. It was the selfless care of the weak woman in front of him that gave him hope for survival.

So, as long as she wants, he must give, this is the promise he made to himself back then!

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! ”

At this time, there was a noise in the crowd, and as the sound approached, the crowd was also given a way. Several plainclothes men armed with swords scolded the people to give way.

Immediately afterwards, a man came from the crowd, although he was lightly dressed but wore a jade jue at his waist, which was enough to show his status.

Immediately beside the man was a woman, who pointed to the mandarin duck playing lantern on the stage, and said in a strong voice: "I want that lamp!" ”

Swish!

This man looks good, and he opened the folding fan arrogantly: "It's a little meaning, it's like picking up something!" ”

"Don't be ashamed, you think you're Master Ye?"

"It's just, it's too arrogant!"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

As soon as the man heard this, he immediately became angry, closed the folding fan and pointed at everyone and scolded: "They are all ignorant rats, what is Ye Yu?" If it weren't for the fact that I wasn't feeling well and couldn't come to the showdown, otherwise, how could I have that Ye Yu's chance to be in the limelight? ”

"Hahaha! It's windy here, aren't you afraid to flash your tongue? Someone in the crowd laughed mockingly.

One of the scholars, taking over the conversation, continued to joke: "This is really a toad yawning......"

"What's the explanation?"

"It's not a small tone!"

"Uh-haha-ha......"

The man's words immediately attracted laughter, scolding and ridicule from everyone, and even the woman next to him was also sneering.

The man's face was flushed with shame, and he motioned to the entourage around him to teach this open-mouthed scholar a good lesson!
