The Begging Festival is coming soon!

On this day, Chang'an, the city that never sleeps, is far less lively than Weishui. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Du He and Changle sat in a spacious carriage and marched along the avenue leading to Weishui.

Du He was dressed in a blue samurai suit, and the clothes were equipped for him by Wu Meiniang. Wu Meiniang knows his preferences well and knows that he likes loose and casual clothes that are easy to move. The samurai costume has also been specially improved, not a hu costume or a scribe's uniform, and it has the appearance of casual clothing.

Du He is free and easy, casual, with this samurai uniform, he is full of young man's youthful optimism, but in terms of bearing, he has a sense of old and steady. The fact is also true, although Du He has done a lot of things, his actual age is always a twenty-year-old boy, which is an unchangeable fact. However, his real age is not just twenty years old. As a teacher in his previous life, Duhe has a steadiness that can be trusted by students, and this steadiness accumulated over time cannot be changed. Duhe is like a mixture of a teenager and a middle-aged person, with both the charm of a teenager and the charm of a middle-aged maturity.

As for Changle opposite, Du He can only be described in ten words.

Clear water out of hibiscus, natural carving.

Her existence is the miracle of the Creator, born of the magic of nature. The almost perfect face has a charm that makes women all over the world ashamed.

Today, she wears a long white dress, with a cloud-like bun and an emerald green hairpin, and the fairies in the world are no different.

The two of them sit together, a match made in heaven.

It's just that at present, the couple has a wry smile on their faces, and they all have helpless expressions.

It's hard to be a man, it's even harder to be a good man, and it's even harder to be a good man with many wives.

Du He's original plan was to take the three ladies to Weishui to put river lanterns together, but Li Xueyan and Wu Meiniang didn't buy it at all, saying that it was not uncommon to huddle together to put river lanterns, and the two went out first. I don't know where the two of them went, so I had to go with Changle.

Li Xueyan and Wu Meiniang have their own plans, but they don't really want to put river lanterns with Du He, but the three girls are crowded together, and no one is a taste, so they simply choose separately. There are a lot of entertainment programs in the Tang Dynasty, after the Qixi Qiqiao Festival, it is the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15, and after the Mid-Autumn Festival, there is the Double Ninth Festival in early September.

Changle is pregnant, and he can move freely for the time being, so he can only stay at home after a month. Therefore, this opportunity was given to Changle.

As for them planting and begging for children together.

Seeding and begging for children is also one of the customs of Qixi Festival, which is a custom of asking for children believed in by unpregnant women.

Duhola drove the curtain, and both sides of the road were covered with elderly men and women holding river lanterns, and they went to the Wei River in groups, all of which were festive along the way.

"I don't want to!" Du He pulled Changle and said: "The snow goose is in full swing, but Mei Niang is steady, with her, there will be no accidents, don't live up to this good time...... Come, Changle, look, isn't the river lantern monster weird? ”

He pointed strangely to the river lantern held in the hand of a yellow-haired and blue-eyed foreign girl. Maybe it's because the aesthetics of Westerners and Orientals are different, the river lantern of the Orientals is small and beautiful, simple and beautiful, but the river lantern in the hand of the foreign girl is a big turtle, and there is a candle lit on it, which makes people have a trace of malice in their hearts.

"Poof!" smiled, Changle also laughed at the big turtle, but at this time, there was no real explanation of ***, and she naturally didn't know the evil thoughts in Du He's heart.

Looking at the crowd laughing along the way, Changle said enviously: "It turns out that the river lantern is to be made by yourself, yes, if you don't make it yourself, it makes no sense." ”

Du He smiled without saying a word and came to the bank of the Weishui River.

It was late at night, but tens of thousands of tourists, mostly young men and women, gathered on the banks of the Weishui River. Otherwise, it's the vendors who come from all over the place. Chang'an is the largest metropolis in the world, with a population of one million. This kind of feast gathers tens of thousands of people, which is a common occurrence.

Even among the tens of thousands of tourists, the existence of Du He and Changle stands out from the crowd, although Changle has prepared a veil, but the scarf really can't hide that peerless face.

If it weren't for the famous flowers, with the open atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty, Changle would have already been invited by all kinds of young heroes at this moment.

Du He's eyes searched back and forth on the riverside, and suddenly pointed to a stall far away from the Wei River, and said, "Look at ......."

Changle's eyes lit up, and his gloomy expression was not there: it was an inconspicuous stall, and the passenger flow was not large, and there were many doors. Because they are not selling river lanterns that have already been made, but some of the materials used to make river lanterns by hand.

That's exactly what they need.

The owner of the stall is an old couple, both in their sixties, who have no business and no complaints, just smiling and looking at the young people frolicking on the river beach.

Changle knew that her husband was considerate, and she had already thought about this situation, and secretly gave him a wink.

Du He's heart fluttered, took her hand, and walked towards the small stall.

There are Tanabata every year, but this is the first Tanabata that Du He has ever had. In the first three years, either because of the war or because of the heavy burden, Jiangnan was delayed.

Du He's temperament is the same as Changle, and he likes to do it himself.

It was also the first time for him to come to Weishui River Lantern, and he didn't know anything about the production of river lanterns. Therefore, I asked Fang Yiai, Li Jingye and other active and fun sons in advance. Finally, I heard from Li Jingye that there was a strange pair of old people on the bank of the Weishui River, they set up stalls, sold materials for making river lanterns, and taught people to make river lanterns.

Du He thought it strange at the time, even though he had never been to Weishui, as you can imagine. Most of the tourists who care about Weishui are divided into two kinds: one is the people of Chang'an, most of them are not rich, or well-off homes, or even more, often they are self-made, and the other is foreign tourists, local dignitaries and nobles, wealthy families, river lanterns are bought on the spot, just look at the prosperity of the nearby vendors, where will you have the heart to buy materials to do it.

It is even stranger to witness it now, and the stall of the couple looks out of place compared to the people selling river lanterns around them.

The pair of old men didn't care about this, which was really surprising.

Du He and Changle approached.

The pair of old men warmly stepped forward to greet them.

Du He explained the intention.

The old man smiled even more when he heard this.

The old man nodded and said: "It's not the little old man who blows, in terms of the craftsmanship of making river lanterns, within a radius of a hundred miles, no one can beat our old husband and wife." ”

The eldest lady slapped the old man affectionately, and said, "Talk big...... she smiled at the two of them: "Let the little couple see the joke." She had already seen that Du He and Changle were husband and wife, and exclaimed: "It's rare for you to understand that there is no cowherd and weaver girl in the world, but the world uses this story to convey each other's hearts." On the surface, the river lantern is to illuminate the Queqiao Road of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, but it actually illuminates the love road between men and women. It represents the heart between men and women, and this heart can only be expressed by doing it yourself. If you buy one casually, no matter how beautiful it is, it can't represent your feelings. ”

The eldest lady is old, but she is not mediocre, and when she talks about it, she is the way, which makes people happy and convinced.

These words almost all went to the hearts of Du He and Changle.

"I don't know what style the little couple wants to do, don't be busy replying, meaning is the most important thing." The eldest lady seems to be very sophisticated.

Du He and Changle glanced at each other and said in unison: "Lotus!" ”

The eldest lady was even more happy when she heard this, and kicked her husband and said, "Why don't you prepare things soon?" ”

The old man also happily prepared the red paper, bamboo sticks, base and other items.

Changle looked at the second elder with admiration and said, "The relationship between the two old men is really good. ”

The old man smiled: "Isn't it the same for you two young people, seeing that your identity is not ordinary, you can let go of everything and make river lanterns with your own hands to express your heart, but it is not something that ordinary people can do." ”

Changle glanced at Du He, and his heart was happy.

The eldest lady first made a style reference, don't look at her gray hair, but her hands and feet are nimble, not inferior to young men and women. In a short time, a delicate river lantern was completed.

The old man did not boast, red paper, bamboo sticks, bases and other materials seemed to be alive in the hands of the eldest mother. The lotus river lamp that has been done has lit the candle flame in the center, which is vivid, really like a lotus flower in full bloom.

Changle's eyes flashed with brilliance, and she couldn't care about her identity, so she was busy asking her aunt to teach her.

Du He curiously asked the doubts in his heart, "Auntie's craftsmanship is extraordinary, one of the best, why don't you make some small money like them?" This kind of opportunity may not be available several times a year. ”

The old man smiled faintly and said: "Our old husband and wife, full of children and grandchildren, there is no shortage of these money at all." The stall here is just to commemorate the days we have walked. More than 40 years ago, Xiao Lao'er and his wife met and knew each other because of the river lantern, and finally fell in love and got married. The meaning of the river lantern to us is far more than a lamp, but a witness of life feelings. We hope to meet men and women like you, know how to make river lanterns, and send our most sincere blessings. I hope you can be like us, and you will never leave for 40 years. ”

The old man smiled happily, like a child.

The eldest lady was a little embarrassed, but she still glanced at the old man affectionately.

Du He stood stunned for a while, and felt something in his heart, this kind of emotion that has not changed for forty years is really moving.

Changle was even more moved.

Holding his hands together, Du He said firmly: "It will be." ”

The old man looked at the two of them intently, and suddenly said: "Wife, you see, they don't look like the couple more than 20 years ago, they also said the same thing." ”

The eldest lady paused and said: "It's really like, but that couple hasn't been here for more than ten years, remember that twenty years ago, they came almost every year......"
