Chapter 105: It's March Again
It's March 3 of another year, and kites fly all over the sky.
On this day, the queen mother of the sky will hold a peach party, and the little ladies in the world will also change into beautiful and bold dresses, put on gorgeous headdresses, and paste small and delicate flowers on the white and tender forehead.
The times moved to the Song Dynasty, and women's attire was simple and subtle, but on the third day of March, the little ladies dressed themselves with the most gorgeous makeup, and they were not afraid to show their white and tender arms and perfect necks, because this day was Daughter's Day, and girls went on outings and dating lovers.
The boys and girls of this era, although they are not as enthusiastic and unrestrained as the Tang Dynasty, can still enjoy the sweet fragrance of self-indulgence.
From the early morning, there are a large number of women's sedan chairs and light cars, as well as a larger number of young men and women, walking from the various gates of Meizhou City, flocking to the suburbs of spring. At this time, it is the middle of spring, wandering among the mountains and rivers, only to feel that the mountains are like moths, the flowers are like cheeks, and the warm breeze is like wine, which is intoxicating.
Boys and girls fold green hairpins, look for incense to win, find their favorite places to play, fly kites, throw hydrangeas, chase and play...... There are also pairs of little men and women, shoulder to shoulder, hand in hand, wandering in the woods and waterfronts, flowers and wilderness, or whispering, or eyebrows and affection, if the love is thick, it is difficult to help themselves, they will find a curtain to cover the wilderness, cover the place of the shade, do some things that love to do, there will be delicate and tactful, happy and endless...... It's not a shocking thing.
When you are tired of playing, under the weeping willow silk, next to the Wanlv Garden, you can list cups and plates, drink and eat. The small food vendors are accompanied by the people who are in the middle of the game, selling all kinds of exquisite snacks, drinks and cold food...... There are also peddling jewelry and gouache rouge, and shrewd traders naturally know that on a day like today, men are bound to slap their swollen faces and become fat, and a beautiful man laughs.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In a flat place with lush flowers and green water, seven or eight pairs of young men and women sat around an oversized tablecloth full of food.
The girls sat in twos and threes, some smiling and receiving the flowers collected by their male companions, some wiping their sweat with champas, and some sitting in pairs with their knees and whispering tender and sweet words.
But in short, compared to their enthusiastic and unrestrained peers, this group of men and women is much more reserved. In particular, there are two outstanding women who just sit together and talk, ignoring the bees and butterflies on the side.
The two women were both seventeen or eighteen years old, one dressed as a bride, and was born with a beautiful appearance and a generous appearance. The other Yun Ying is unmarried, with black bangs, with picturesque eyebrows, clever smiles, and indescribable agility.
Her beautiful eyes and smile attracted a richly dressed rich man on the side, whose mood was shaking and fascinated, but it was a pity that the beauty was good to everyone, that is, she did not pretend to be harmonious with him.
Seeing his dejected appearance, a man in his twenties, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a handsome man, patted him with the folding fan in his hand and said, "Brother Lei, there is no grass at the end of the world, why do you have to look for it in my house?" β
"Zizhan, since two years ago, I have seen your little sister", the rich and noble man turned his head and said with an infatuated face: "I feel that all women in this world are vulgar fans, even if the grass is green, what does it have to do with me?" β
"It's also a seed of infatuation." The one who was called Zizhan was naturally Su Shi, in this era, twenty words. After the Spring Festival this year, he was given the word 'Zizhan' by his mentor and father-in-law Wang Fang.
The woman dressed as a bride is his new wife, Wang Fu, whom Su Shi has had a crush on for many years.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"It's just that I said it earlier", Su Shi sighed and said: "My sister's heart has long been taken away, and you can't get it." β
"Yes, you said this two years ago", the son surnamed Lei, called Lei Fang, is the son of Lei Jianfu, the governor of Meizhou. Two years ago, it moved to Meizhou, and it became a good family. Lei Fang, when he saw his little sister at that time, he was fascinated so far: "But I have inquired clearly, the marriage contract between the undertaker and the Liu family has not been dissolved yet......"
"......" The smile on Su Shi's face froze suddenly.
"What's more, he is now a young hero who outwitted Kunlun Pass, a proud protΓ©gΓ© of Ouyang Gong, and a friend of Di Shu, and even today's officials have written a preface to his book, a figure who is in the limelight!" Lei Fang said anxiously for your family: "People will change, do you still think he is still a stunned boy in Meishan County?!"
"No", Su Shi shook his head and said, "You don't know him." β
"Then why didn't Izukawa come back for three years?" Lei Fang's words left Su Shi speechless.
"Lei Gongzi is an outing when he goes out of Sichuan?" Su Xiaomei actually listened to it all the time, but now she finally couldn't help it, and said with a thin face: "It's hard to go out once, who did you hear say that you came back that year?" β
"I listened to what you said...... Lei Fang has a son's temper, and he immediately softened and said: "Little sister, you originally said that he would come back after finishing his errands." β
"If Ouyang Gong wants to take you as an apprentice, will you be in a hurry to come back?
"I ......"
"If the official prefaces the book you have given you and wants it to be published by the imperial court, can you come back in a hurry?"
"I ......"
"If you go anywhere, there is a ticket of gentry, waiting to pick you up and wash the dust, pull you to the mountains and rivers, do you have a way to come back in a hurry?"
"I'm ......" Lei Fang finally held back his strength and said, "For the sake of my sweetheart...... I will. β
"You ......" The little sister bit her lower lip, her expression was obviously dark, and she sneered: "You don't have to be responsible for talking......
"What I said is true...... feeling that the atmosphere was getting more and more tense, Su Shi quickly pulled Lei Fang away and said, "Let's go over there for a drink." β
"Zizhan, can you trust me?"
"I believe, what's the use, you don't like me......"
When Lei Fang was pulled away, the little sister spit out two words angrily: "Boring!" β
Wang Fu lightly held his sister-in-law's hand and said, "Are you okay?" β
"It doesn't matter what he says about me." The little sister said angrily: "But if you say a word to the third brother, I won't pay attention to him anymore." The two are not only sisters-in-law, but also classmates for many years, so naturally there is no need to hide their hearts.
"Chen Sanlang has cultivated the blessing in his life," Wang Fu sighed in his heart: "It actually made my talented and beautiful girl look more important than herself." Thinking of this, she whispered, "Next month, it will be your eighteenth birthday......
"Well......" When the little sister heard this, she lowered her slender neck, and her face was gloomy. She touched the bead hairpin on her head, this action has been repeated for three years, and it has long become a habit.
Three years have passed since the man left......
"On the side of the family, we will naturally help persuade you", Wang Fu Rourou sighed: "But you, you can't just wait, right?" "She mean, isn't it, don't you be so tough?
Su Xun was naturally extremely angry at the Chen family's delay in making that end sharp and delaying his daughter's youth, so he almost erected a monument, making the Chen family's father and son also notorious.
But because of Banniang's lesson, he didn't want to force his daughter anymore, so he delayed until now. But Su Xun also hated, at the latest, until the little sister was eighteen years old. Even if he is eighteen years old for a day, he Chen Sanlang never wants to see his little sister again!
In this case, the father-daughter relationship is naturally not much better. The former best friend has become a sister-in-law, and she has no choice but to shoulder the role of an unlikable lobbyist, Wang Fu has recently persuaded her little sister not to put all her heart on others, and she has to keep a little for herself.
"Well, sister-in-law is right." I saw that the little sister nodded and said, "If he doesn't come back......"
"What's wrong with you?"
"I'll just pack up and go find him!" The little girl said with a resolute face.
"Why do you have to do it yourself?" Wang Fu sighed faintly: "We women, we have to be responsible for ourselves!" β
"Sister-in-law, this is exactly what you are responsible for!" The little sister raised her head, her eyes sparkled and said, "For us women, is there anything more important than catching our sweetheart?" β
"......" Wang Fu was speechless for a long time, and finally whispered: "You are not afraid to meet, he has changed his mind." β
"No", the little sister laughed and said stupidly: "He said to me personally, let 'I rest assured', then I will rest assured, unless I ......"
"Unless what?"
"Unless he says anything to me in person......" The little sister's nose was sore, and tears came down, so she gently slapped Wang Fu and said: "I hate it, just thinking about it, it's like a knife." β
"Alas......" Wang Fu gently took her arm and said no more.

When the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the treetops, the young men and women, who had had had a good day's fun, staggered back to the city. In the mountains, on the lawn, in the dense forest, there are hairpins everywhere, and the pearls and greens are vertical and horizontal, echoing with a strong sense of spring.
Xiaomei and her group came by car, but many of them had drunk a little, so they proposed to go and sober up. Looking at his elder brother Zizhan, with the support of his sister-in-law Wang Fu, he chanted poetry loudly and danced with his hands. The elder brother and the second sister-in-law Shi laughed together...... Su Xun's temper was impatient to have two weddings, so he let his two sons do it together.
Su Zhe is matched with the daughter of Su Laoquan's cousin's family, and she is also Su Zhe's cousin, gentle and amiable, knowledgeable, and can't hear the couple talk all day long, but it is so good that you and I are nong.
Looking at others, they are also in pairs, only themselves, alone, the little sister can't help but sigh lightly, looking at the colorful glow in the sky, it seems that she has conjured up that hateful face, and she can't wait to bite it hard.
"Little sister." Lei Fang came up with a dead face again, and said with a shy face: "Tired of walking, you might as well get in the car and rest." β
"Weak can't help but ......" the little sister gave him a roll of his eyes and a back.
