——The third day of the third month of the first year of the Great Zhou Jingzhi——

In the Great Week, almost a quarter of the days of each year are festivals, but some are valued, while others are relatively unvalued, and even some festivals overlap on the same day, so they are particularly lively. （.com）

The third day of the third month of March is one of the more special days, it is not only one of the four ghost festivals of [March 3rd, Qingming Festival, July and a half, and the first day of October], but also a festival in the folk style [Purification and Bathing], and it is also a festival for the imperial court to worship ghosts and gods.

In general, the festival is different for people, and the meaning it represents is also very different.

For the imperial court, March 3 is a specific day for the imperial court to worship the plague god, and every time this festival, the officials of the Ministry of Rites will come forward to worship beside the living water river outside the capital of Hebei, and pray to the legendary ghosts and gods and the five plague messengers, hoping to reduce the plague and other devastating diseases.

Because March 3 belongs to early summer, the ghost and god enshrined on this day is Liu Yuanda, the messenger of summer plague.

In the Great Zhou, the worship of ghosts and gods, especially the ghosts and gods of the main plague, is the most important of all sacrificial festivals, and all officials are generally required to attend, and even the emperor of the Great Zhou will be present in person to express respect for the ghosts and gods.

After the end of the sacrifice to the ghosts and gods, such as Ruan Shaozhou, Changsun Jing and other Shangshu and squire, they will take advantage of the day of vacation brought by this festival to take their families out of Jijing and go up the mountain to worship the deceased ancestors, after all, not every suitable day for tomb sweeping The officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty will take routine vacations, therefore, most of the tomb sweepers on the Ghost Festival on March 3 are the Spring Festival, Qingming Festival, Winter Solstice and other evaluation days can not spare the court officials, Ordinary people are generally not included.

And for the young men and women of the Great Zhou, the third day of March is the festival. It is also a festival that is not inferior to the Shangyuan Festival, although it is not very safe to use spring here, but in early summer, it is indeed more suitable than spring to go out to play.

Because at this time, most of the accumulated snow and ice have melted, and the wind blowing on the face is slightly cool, and it is no longer as cold as in spring, so in such good weather. The Shangsi Festival has become a day for the sons and ladies of the family to drive and play.

And for the married, but not childbearing women, the festival is very different from the first two days, in the feudal superstition is extremely strong in the Great Zhou, the world still mistakenly believes that women after marriage infertility is evil, therefore. On this festival, women who are barren after marriage will come to the uninhabited river near their residence to bathe in the water of the stream, and in their opinion, the continuous stream formed by the melting of the ice and snow can wash away the evil spirits attached to them. So as to have a smooth pregnancy.

Therefore, in any case, the Shangsi Festival is a more superstitious festive festival, although this festival is not like the Shangyuan Festival, where the Imperial Court Rites will fund lanterns and decorate the Beijing Division. However, watching the lanterns and enjoying the snow is still a fun entertainment in this festival, after all, after all, the ice and snow covering Gyeonggi in Daju will completely melt after this festival. Make the whole Great Week completely enter the summer calendar, and then I want to watch the snow again. Then we will have to wait until the tenth winter wax moon.

"Gou Gong, what time is it?"

"Great ...... Ah no, my son, it's almost unitary time! ”

Next to a stone bridge over a river in the city near Guang'an Street, Xie An and Gou Gong stood at the foot of the bridge, looking at a group of women playing in the river not far away.

Those women, almost all of them are ordinary people, there are few constraints, into the water to play, not to wash away the demon attached to the body, after all, according to their hair and hairstyle, these women are almost not married, think about it, they just want to take advantage of this festival to have a good time with the sisters, after all, the Great Zhou is still quite strict on women's moral etiquette on weekdays, and only in such a festival, they can play unrestrained.

Of course, this is only for ordinary women, as for the daughter of a family like the eldest grandson Xiangyu, no matter what day it is, they are required to be dignified and generous, you can imagine how depressed the eldest grandson Xiangyu, who is lively and playful by nature, before meeting Xie An.

"Shhhh......h

Looking at the women of the common people who were playing in the river and didn't know that their clothes were already soaked, Xie An chuckled and quipped, "I really want to carry the two of you...... Right? ”

Xie An's words, Gou Gong's breath was not smooth, and he coughed again and again, but finally stabilized his mind, and Gou Gong said, "Ahem...... Childe said and laughed, the small one is ...... That is...... Hehe, just thinking about it......"

I don't know if it's because he became the post of Shaoqing of the Great Prison Temple, Gou Gong changed the evil deeds in the Dongling crowd at the beginning, and then didn't do those things that stole chickens and dogs, too, once people have status, they will subconsciously cherish their wings, this is human nature, if you can, looking at the world, how many people are willing to degenerate, be criticized, and be blamed?

But then again, Gou Gong is indeed not as free and easy as Xie An, you see Xie An, as a first-class member, the secretary of the Criminal Department of the Central Committee, is now standing by the stone bridge and looking at the woman playing in the river with a majestic face, his face is not red and his heart is not beating, which is like Gou Gong, and he was choked and coughed by Xie An when he said a word.

"That's a good ......," Xie An whispered, pointing to a slender woman in the river.

"Oh, really?" Gou Gong stared wide-eyed and looked in the direction Xie An was pointing, then frowned and shook his head, and said with different opinions, "The little one thinks that the one next to this woman is better......"

"The one next to it?" Xie An looked at the woman Gou Gong was referring to in surprise, the woman with a very plump figure, and said strangely, "In the opinion of this son, she is not lighter than you...... Are you okay with this? ”

"This adult doesn't understand......" Gou Gong shook his fingers, put on the appearance of an experienced person, and said in a low voice, "Childe is beautiful to be slender, but he is generally a thin woman, impatient, and weak, and when he has sex, he is far less ...... than a plump woman" Speaking of this, he smiled and looked at Xie An with a tacit look.

Xie An blinked unconsciously, looked at Gou Gong in surprise, and couldn't help but think of the eldest grandson Xiangyu in his heart.

As the first beauty in Jijing, the eldest grandson Xiangyu is both in face and figure. are impeccable, she has been pampered since she was a child, and her whole body is as smooth and flawless as white jade, but as Gou Gong said, the eldest grandson Xiangyu is very weak during sex, and she shouts tired after a few strokes, and her physical fitness is not as good as Yiyi, not to mention Liangqiu Dance and Jin Ling'er, like her. I'm afraid that Xie An can easily settle it if there are a few more.

Of course, comparing the eldest grandson Xiangyu with Liangqiu Dance and Jin Ling'er, the eldest grandson Xiangyu did lose a little wrongly, but aside from the fact that Liangqiu Dance and Jin Ling'er were proficient in martial arts, Xie An still felt that Gou Gong's words had a certain truth. After all, Yiyi doesn't know anything about martial arts, but her physical fitness is much better than that of her eldest grandson, Xiangyu.

The only thing that can be said about the decisive advantage of the eldest grandson Xiangyu is that when Xie An is caressing her skin, the wonderful touch that seems to be able to touch the bones under her skin and flesh really makes Xie An intoxicated.

According to Xie An's understanding, the eldest grandson Xiangyu is disgusted with meat. When she eats, she basically eats vegetables with fresh fish, so her weight is only about seventy catties, although Da Zhou is one catty and sixteen taels. But the quantifier of catty is roughly similar to that of later generations, so it is not difficult to imagine why this crazy woman with a lot of wisdom and demons would get sick twice in three days. Physical fitness is too weak.

In contrast, the amount of food and meat per meal is much more terrifying than Xie An's. Her physical ......

As soon as he thought of this, Xie An felt a little discouraged, in his opinion, Liang Qiu Wu didn't look fat, but he was more plump than the eldest grandson Xiangyu, but Liang Qiu Wu's terrifying wrist strength and physical fitness, Xie An really couldn't understand why Liang Qiu Wu, who was similar to him, actually contained several times more strength than him in his body, could it be that the blood of the Liang Qiu family was really so far beyond the world?

Just when Xie An was secretly wondering, he suddenly saw Gou Gong's eyes light up, pointed to the river under the bridge and said happily, "Childe, here are a few more...... Hey, that's a good ......."

"Where? Where? Xie An's eyes widened, and he leaned on the stone bridge and looked at it.

Suddenly, there was a slight sound of footsteps behind them, Xie An and Gou Gong's faces changed in unison, and they hurriedly turned around, leaning against the railing of the stone bridge, sometimes looking up at the sky, and sometimes quietly looking at the women walking past them.

"Those two have been standing on the stone bridge for most of the hour...... I was here when I waited for my sister to come......"

"It's decent to look at the clothes, but I don't want to be so reckless and dissolute......"

"Bah...... It's disgusting......"

Seeing several young ladies of the family hurrying by not far from the bridge, Xie An scratched his head, quite embarrassed, and Gou Gong beside him unconsciously accelerated the frequency of shaking the iron fan in his hand.

Thinking about it, although there are also many pedestrians on the stone bridge who pause to watch the beautiful scenery under the bridge, there are still a few guys like Xie An and Gou Gong who stand for more than half an hour at one stop, and their eyes are wanton and undisguised.

"Now, I say," Gou Gong whispered with an embarrassed face, dodging the disgusted eyes of the passers-by around him, especially the women who came and went, "Childe, is it really necessary for us to wait here all the time?" ”

I saw Xie Anyi on the railing of the stone bridge, looking up at the night sky, gritting his teeth and saying, "Less nonsense!" - Shame on you, now is the time to use you! ”

"This ......" Gou Gong couldn't cry or laugh when he heard this, after all, he had never heard of such a way of employing people.

After thinking about it, Gou Gong whispered, "Or, let's change the land, right?" ”

"How?" Xie An raised his eyebrows and said excitedly, "Dongling Zhongtang [Shadow Snake] Gou Gong, is it just like that? ”

Gou Gong smiled bitterly when he heard this, "Childe, the radical general will not be useful to the small one......

Xie An rolled his eyes, turned around, put his hands on the railing of the stone bridge, looked at the woman playing under the bridge, and said indifferently, "No way, who told me to meet on this bridge at that time?" - Huh? A few more ......"

"Y-W?" Gou Gong immediately turned around, turned around and looked under the bridge, and when he saw the beautiful scenery under the bridge, he seemed to forget the embarrassment of Fang Cai, and smacked his lips and tasted, "Well, indeed...... However, the Shangsi Festival in Beijing is still not as spectacular as the small one seen in Shandong......"

"Oh? Tell me about it? ”

Gou Gong was interested when he heard it, and he shook the iron fan and said quite complacently, "I think when I was young in Shandong, although I was not as good as Beijing in the countryside, there were many beautiful people among the villagers...... The little one didn't dare to boast, if the son had tasted it......" Speaking of this, he seemed to suddenly realize something. Under Xie An's angry gaze, he shook the iron fan and stopped talking, thinking about it, he didn't do this kind of when he was in Shandong.

Just as Xie An and Gou Gong were judging the frolicking women in the river under the bridge, suddenly a carriage slowly drove towards the stone bridge, and gradually stopped behind Xie An, and then, there was a beautiful young woman wearing a white gauze brocade dress. Walking over from the carriage, holding a floral paper umbrella, Yingying walked towards Xie An.

Gou Gong was the first to notice this, and when he saw Xie Anshang looking under the bridge, he hurriedly coughed heavily.

"What's wrong. Gou Gong? What do you see again......" As he was speaking, Xie An subconsciously turned his head, and when he noticed a young and beautiful young woman standing behind him from time to time, his expression was really a little embarrassed.

There is no doubt that this young and beautiful young woman is the daughter-in-law of the Lu family in Nangong Mansion, the woman Xie An has never forgotten, and the daughter of the Su family in Guangling. Su Wan.

I have to say that after more than a year, when the two meet again, the atmosphere is not embarrassing. Whether it was Xie An or Su Wan, they didn't know what to say.

I don't know how long it took, Xie An scratched his forehead and whispered. "You ...... today? Beautiful......"

Su Wan's eyes showed a little joy when she heard this, and then. As if she had thought of something, her expression darkened, and she lowered her head and whispered, "Lord Xie has praised it, and the concubine is ...... The concubine is only in the posture of a willow, how can she compare to the four honorable ladies in Lord Xie's mansion......"

Wow, this is going to be bad......

Noticing that Xie An, the head of the family he was loyal to, frowned when he heard this, Gou Gong secretly shook his head, and suddenly, he saw the young maid following behind Su Wan, and said with a smile, "What do you call your little sister?" ”

Thinking that the maid also knew that Gou Gong was the person next to Xie An, she whispered when she heard the words, "The slave is called Yingmei......

"Oh, Yingmei, good name......" Gou Gong smiled and said in a low voice, "Let's take a step later, let my son-in-law and your young grandmother have a few small talks, okay?" ”

"Hmm......" Yingmei's face was slightly red, nodded, and whispered.

You must know that Gou Gong is also a handsome person, but he was a little yin in the past, and since he served as the Shaoqing of the Great Prison Temple, his temperament has changed greatly, and he looks like a son of a family, which is not inferior to Ji Hong next to Li Xian.

Seeing this, Gou Gong glanced at Xie An and thought, My lord, Xia Guan can only help you get here......

Thinking about it, Xie An, who was walking in front with Su Wan, didn't notice Gou Gong's loyal move, and he and Su Wan were still in an extremely embarrassing situation.

I don't know how long it took for Xie An to take the lead in breaking this deadlock.

"How have you been this year? In the Lu family...... Are you still adapting? ”

"Well, it's pretty good, everyone in the house is very good to the concubine, father-in-law ......" Speaking of this, Su Wan's expression darkened, forced a smile, and changed the topic and said, "It's Lord Xie, how are you doing?" ”

"Don't call me Lord Xie again!" Xie An interrupted Su Wan's words with some annoyance, then sighed, looked at Su Wan, who was a little overwhelmed, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry...... All in all, it's pretty good, it's a family, and it has a lot of status in the court, but sometimes, it feels annoying......"

"Huh?"

"Don't understand? - Let's take today as an example, the imperial court stipulated that I wait until the river in the southern suburbs of Jingshi to worship, and for more than an hour, I watched those witches who were enshrined in the court jumping around with a wooden sword, and I didn't know what they were doing, which was very boring! - If it weren't for Li Shou in the end...... Oh no, His Majesty told me to read that sacrificial text, and I was almost asleep......"

"Hehe......" Su Wan raised her right hand when she heard this, covered her lips with her sleeve and chuckled a few times, and then said softly, "That's Your Majesty's favor to Xie Da...... I trust you and see you as a close ......"

"Well, that's the way it goes, but ...... It's been a really busy day......"

"Huh?"

"Do you think, go to the river outside the city in the morning to worship, and you are not allowed to be absent, and then you have to rush to the eldest grandson's house and go to the mountain with the eldest grandson's family......"

"Did the eldest grandson's family go out of the city to sweep the graves to pay tribute to their relatives?" Su Wan asked curiously.

"Hmm!" Xie An nodded and explained, "I promised Xiangyu Xiangyu's biological mother Wang's family earlier, but I didn't fulfill the agreement until yesterday......

"It is said that the eldest grandson has a bad relationship with the late eldest grandson Wang?"

"Isn't it? Father-in-law...... cough, when the eldest grandson worshiped the Wang family, Xiangyu sneered on the side, saying that he was not treated well when he was alive, what was the use of hanging after death, and made the eldest grandson angry and half dead......"

Su Wan chuckled lightly when she heard this, and then suddenly felt that this move was inappropriate, and hurriedly apologized.

"It's okay, I laughed too. Thanks to this matter, I have been blinded by the eldest grandson, and I have called him at will, alas! It's hard to be a son-in-law......" Speaking of this, Xie An's words came to an abrupt end.

And Su Wan obviously noticed the look on Xie An's face, and said reluctantly, "Always happy family......" Speaking of this, she looked at Xie An deeply and said softly. "As far as the concubine knows, after General Liangqiu and Miss Changsun are both famous families, it is expected that they will have a big temper, Xiao An, you are stubborn, don't argue with them in the future. If your husband and wife are harmonious, the concubine can also rest assured......"

"Yes......" Xie An replied lightly, lacking interest.

Seeing this, Su Wan bit her lip lightly, diverted the topic and said with a chuckle, "This time, you can leave a lot of things behind and accompany the concubine to relax." The concubine is really relieved, even though you are under public ...... At the behest of my father-in-law, most of my hearts are reluctant......"

"Of course I don't want to......" Stopping, Xie An looked at Su Wan with a complicated expression. With a somewhat unhappy expression, he said, "At home, Wu'er, Xiangyu, Sister Jin, and Yiyi all hope that I can take them out tonight to watch the lanterns and enjoy the snow." As a result, I accompanied someone else's daughter-in-law......"

"Xiao An......" Su Wan's expression darkened.

"Say anything ...... at ease" sneered. Xie An said unhappily, "In the past, you were like this, thinking about others in everything, even if it was irrelevant people...... Is it necessary? If you hadn't made your own decisions back then, the person I was with tonight wouldn't be someone else's daughter-in-law! In the end, Xie An's tone was extremely heavy.

"......" Looking at Xie An's angry appearance, Su Wan opened her mouth, lowered her head and said, "So far, what are you going to do with this?" ”

"It's been a year and a half, and it's less than two years to get full...... I am already the secretary of the Criminal Department of the Central People's Republic of China, and I am also in charge of the Great Prison Temple, and the Fusi of the South and North Towns...... Those invincible officials in Guangling at the beginning, now in my opinion, are not fart, as long as I say a word, even if it is the county guard of Guangling County, I have to obediently come to my prison to be a guest! - As I said, within ten years, I will climb to a high position, and at that time, I will avenge you and bring those evil officials who persecuted the Su family to justice......"

“……”

"Now I've fulfilled my promise, but what about the other person?"

"I ......" Su Wan's red lips opened slightly, and she was silent.

"Can't you wait? It's only a year and five months! ”

"Xiao An......" Looking at the anger in Xie An's eyes, Su Wan bit her lip lightly and whispered with a bit of stalk, "Now that it's over, don't say it anymore, it's all my fault...... Now you are in a position of power and a happy family......"

"So what?" Looking at Su Wan, Xie An Zhengse said, "Although I'm a little sorry for them when I say this, but before I got married, I was thinking about you, do you know?!" As he spoke, he took Su Wan's hand.

Seeing this, Su Wan's face was panicked, and she said in a loud voice, "Xiao An, let me go...... You're hurting me, let go! ”

Unexpectedly, the more Xie An said that Xie An grasped the ground more firmly, and said with displeasure in his mouth, "What else can you rest assured, what do you care?" I need someone else's daughter-in-law to worry about me? - On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve the year before last, I told you that I am not your younger brother, and I don't want to be your younger brother, I don't need you to think about it for me, don't pretend to be on the side, if you really think about me, you shouldn't have made your own decisions and joined the Lu family in the first place......"

"Fake ......" Su Wan looked at Xie An in disbelief, and then showed a little anger in her eyes, slammed her left hand, and broke free from Xie An's shackles, Xie An was caught off guard, and subconsciously wanted to grasp it, so that she left a few red fingerprints on the back of Su Wan's hand.

"Since you've always thought so, there's nothing more to say......" Looking at the few red fingerprints on her wrist, Su Wan had a little annoyance in her eyes, looked at Xie An and said in a deep voice, "I'm going back...... Lord Xie is now a powerful person in the court, how can a concubine be able to climb high and be called a sister and brother in vain? ”

"You!" Xie An was also annoyed when he heard this, and said angrily, "Don't send it!" ”

"......" glanced at Xie An angrily, Su Wan immediately turned around, her face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, and she called out angrily, "Yingmei, go back!" ”

"Yes......" Looking at her young grandmother's look of anger in her heart, Yingmei shrank her head and hurriedly followed.

Glancing at the back of Su Wan's housewife leaving in anger, Gou Gong sighed slightly, walked to Xie An's side, and said in a low voice, "This is the so-called deep hatred of love, right?" It's just that...... Is it necessary to break up so unhappily? ”

Hearing this, a trace of pain flashed in Xie An's eyes, and he shook his head and said, "You won't understand my long-term unwillingness......"

"This subordinate is incomprehensible, it's just ...... The adult and the woman have not spoken for more than a year, they are strangers, and now they finally have the opportunity to speak, why bother to break up unhappily? - Adults can hide from others, but they can't hide from their subordinates, although adults are reluctant to play tonight's events, but what about reality? ”

"Less of this! - I'm not going! As if he had guessed Gou Gong's intentions, Xie An frowned and snorted.

Gou Gong is also a cunning and sleek person, where would he not know Xie Anxin's mustard, blinked and deliberately said, "Then there is no way, but there are a lot of pedestrians on the street tonight, dragons and snakes are mixed, if the master and servant meet a bad person when they go back, this is not good!" ”

Xie An was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then there was a little panic in his eyes, and he muttered, "Say ...... It's ......"

"That'...... Catch up? ”

"Hmm!"
