Tanabata, the day of the Cowherd and Weaver Girl Magpie Bridge Meeting. ,!

The Weaver Girl is skillful, so on this day, the little woman in the world often sets up incense and prays in the garden, hoping that the Weaver Girl can give her a pair of skillful hands.

The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl are a pair of hard-working couples who are blocked by the Milky Way and can only meet once a year, so this day is regarded as Valentine's Day by lovers all over the world, and it is recognized that this day is a good day for lovers to swear by the mountains and seas. So much so that Bai Juyi later deliberately wrote this day into the poem in "Song of Long Hatred": "On the seventh day of July, in the Palace of Eternal Life, when no one whispered in the middle of the night. In heaven I wish to be a winged bird, and on earth I wish to be a branch......"

The Tang Dynasty can be said to be one of the dynasties with the most holidays, and the other dynasty is the Song Dynasty, which is the heavenly era of civil servants. Of course, now this is the Great Zhou Dynasty, but in the eyes of many people in the Tang Dynasty, this "Great Zhou Dynasty" has always been confused with the "year name" that the empress Bixia has to change every three or five days, and there is no consciousness of changing the dynasty at all.

Qixi Festival, every family furnishes melons, fruits, wine and rice, in order to worship the two stars of the cow girl, now since the imperial court regards this day as a festival for everyone to enlarge the holiday, and also lifted the curfew, of course, the lively Tang people will not let go of this all-night, all-night carnival good opportunity.

Before it got dark, Luoyang City began to be lively.

The little women of each family thread the needle and lead the thread, and the spider is ingenious and ignore it, the whole Luoyang City is full of lights, and the music and dance are like the New Year, but it has attracted countless people.

Dingding Street, from the end gate to the Dingding gate, a straight line, up to eight miles, fifty zhang wide on the open street, a big torch. The world of light and candles, the sound of gold and stone, spread dozens of miles away.

The moon in Chang'an City is like practice, and every family holds needlework at night.

The fairy skirt jade pei knows that the sky will not meet.

Changxin is deep and dark and the night turns quiet, and the Yaojie Golden Pavilion is a few fireflies.

Ban Ji is infinitely sad this night, and He Hansan is even more optimistic about bullfighting.

Today's Luoyang City is more prosperous than Chang'an City, which is lively, and you don't know it.

In the face of such a grand scene. Although Princess Taiping made an appointment with Yang Fan to sail in Luoshui, she would not abandon the Dingding style, and before going to Tianjin Bridge to take a boat, she had to travel to Changjie together.

In order to facilitate going out, Taiping is still dressed in men's clothes today, but it is obvious that she has been dressed up, her lips are also painted with Zhu, her eyebrows are thin, and the usual charm is not obvious. There was a faint feeling of grace like water, so that Yang Fan looked at it at first glance. There is a feeling of seeing Wan'er.

Taiping's eight extremely strong female sumo wrestlers also changed into men's clothes, hiding in front of and behind them, quietly guarding them from a distance of several zhang, while Yang Fan walked side by side with Princess Taiping, strolling on the lively Dingding Street.

There are hundreds of dramas on the street, and it is very lively, but the two people walk very slowly and quietly.

This is the first time the two have visited Dingding Street together since they met on Shangyuan Changjie that year. Walking through the streets, I can't help but think of the scene on the hundred-foot lamp tree, vaguely like a dream last night, and both of them can't help but have a slight sense of amazement, maybe it is a nostalgia for the passing of years.

Princess Taiping looked at the sky, the sky was clear, and the night was clear. However, because of the excitement of the streets, looking at the starry sky, it seems to be contaminated with a bit of mortal joy.

Princess Taiping sighed softly: "The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, the Milky Way is separated." It's not easy to get together once a year......"

This sigh is also faint, I don't know if she is sighing for the Cowherd and Weaver Girl, or sighing that it is not easy for herself to get together with Yang Fan.

Yang Fan also looked up at the sky and said lightly: "One day in the sky, one year on the earth." In fact, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl see each other every day, and ordinary people in the world treat others with themselves, so they think that the gods also suffer like them. ”

Princess Taiping was angry and funny, and with a slight turn of the small gold fan in her hand, she knocked on Yang Fan's shoulder, and said softly: "Great scenery!" ”

The two sturdy female sumo wrestlers on the left turned their faces away, ignoring the indecency.

Yang Fan smiled, and did not react to Princess Taiping's obviously flirtatious behavior.

Taiping's expression darkened slightly, and he said abruptly: "Even if it is as you said, this cow girl is actually a two-star who sees each other every day, mortals in the world, weishenme prefer to pin their resentment, love and parting, and the suffering of not being able to ask for it on the immortals?" ”

Yang Fan shrugged and said, "Yang is stupid, I really don't know." Speaking of which, this Qixi begging coincidence, it is a unique festival of the daughter's family, although many men follow to join in the fun. ”

Princess Taiping tapped the gold-painted fan in her palm, and said in a deep voice: "Is it a festival for my daughter's family?" If it's because of my daughter's family, I want to ...... Probably because in the heart of the daughter's family, a good man is like a morning glory in the sky, which can be met but not sought. It's hard to find a cute boy with a lantern......"

A few delicate and cute little women dressed in front of them, with a few carp lamps and orange lamps, fluttered past them, which seemed to confirm the sigh of Taiping, but it was only in their ears that the laughter of those little women "carded", where did they know half of the sorrowful taste.

Yang Fan couldn't stand it a little, and coughed and said, "Your Highness, when are we going to go boating in Luoshui?" ”

Princess Taiping glanced at him and said, "There is still one night of hard work, the long night is long, what are you anxious about?" ”

Taiping Miao's eyes turned, and he suddenly seemed to smile: "Could it be ...... Do you like to go boating alone with me? ”

Yang Fan shuddered, and hurriedly said with a dry smile: "Ah......, in my opinion, let's go further, go to Dingding Gate, and then walk back." ”

Princess Taiping snorted and said faintly: "Those things in the palace are ......, I'm annoying, can't you let me do it?" ”

Yang Fan touched his nose and stopped talking.

The two men continued to walk side by side, walking forward without saying a word, their eyes gently scanning the joyful and light young men and women floating around them, but they did not look at the scene of a hundred dramas in the middle of the street.

"Huh? What's up ahead? ”

Yang Fan and Taiping were walking, and suddenly saw a lot of people in front of them, there are all kinds of performances and juggling on Dingding Street today, and it is not uncommon for many people to gather in some places, but this place is on the side of the road, and it is impossible for someone to put it in the middle and not go to perform on the side of the road. And this attention, it seems that the sound of geese and ducks screaming can be heard.

Princess Taiping raised her eyebrows, pointed the small gold-painted fan in her hand forward, and immediately four female sumo wrestlers with big shoulders and round waists walked up with their arms.

The four girls passed by, "the waves were split", and they walked out of a broad road, and Yang Fan and Princess Taiping walked in.

The people who watched the excitement were forced to be squeezed away, and they were originally quite dissatisfied, but when they looked at the momentum of this group of people, they knew that they were either rich or expensive families. When it comes to the words on his lips, he doesn't dare to scold.

Yang Fan took a look at the front and was shocked again.

I saw a big iron cage on the ground in front of me, the cage was not directly placed on the ground, the bottom of the cage was a thin iron plate, and there was a red-hot charcoal fire at the bottom, there was a goose and duck in the cage, and there was a copper basin in the center of the cage, and I don't know what was in it, and it didn't look like clear water under the light.

The charcoal fire heated the iron plate. The geese and ducks were in terrible pain and ran around in their cages. Walking around the fire, sometimes thirsty, he threw himself over and drank the juice from the copper basin.

Yang Fan was puzzled, patted the shoulder of a spectator next to him who was watching with relish, and asked, "Brother Tai, what kind of trick is this?" ”

The man looked at him, and then did not look back, but stared at the geese and ducks in the cage with great interest, and replied with a smile: "A few guests on the high platform are watching the dance here." While cooking food. The goose and the fat duck were bought by them, and the copper basin in the cage was filled with contemplative spices, saying that when the goose and duck were burned alive, they would swallow the sauce, and their meat was extremely delicious. Hehe, this way of eating is really unheard of. ”

"What?"

Yang Fan listened. couldn't help but glance at Princess Taiping, and there was a look of horror in his eyes.

Although ducks and geese were meant to be eaten, they had never heard of such cruel methods of cruelty. The two of them looked at the high platform in front of them.

The platform is not too close to here, probably because the duck and goose scream too noisy, and the duck and goose flutter their wings and fly around in the cage, and the goose feathers and duck feathers are flying, which is not beautiful.

However, the lamps and candles on the high platform were bright, shining as if it were day, and when they looked from here, they could see the people on the stage clearly.

There are three people on the stage, three young men in brocade clothes who are less than double ten, brocade clothes and hats, and their bearing is extraordinary. The three of them were lazily half-lying on a couch, pointing at the hundred and ten men and women who were singing and dancing on the long street opposite, talking and laughing.

Under the light, at a cursory glance, I saw that the three of them were very handsome, and one of them was close to the side where they were standing, and saw that the man was only about fifteen or sixteen years old, and he was still a half-old offspring, and his delicate eyebrows and eyes were already very handsome. The other person may be about to have a weak crown, and his facial features are picturesque, and he is a little less beautiful than a man.

Looking at the outermost person again, Yang Fan was stunned. This person's appearance can no longer be described as delicate and handsome, the eyebrows and facial features, the beauty is beautiful, clear and demonic, charming and beautiful, and the beauty of the posture is afraid that it is not under Anu and Xiaoman. If the young man in the middle of the square is not as beautiful as a man, this person is clearly a woman.

The reason why Yang Fan did not compare Shangguan Wan'er with Princess Taiping was because Wan'er and Taiping were certainly delicate or beautiful, but the beauty of that kind of mature woman had nothing to do with being handsome. Handsome is a kind of beauty between neutrals, and Anu and Xiaoman are younger, so they are closer to this beauty.

Yang Fan thought of the problem, and immediately became suspicious in his heart: "Maybe this young man is a daughter, easy to hairpin, easy to go out?" ”

Yang Fanyun looked carefully with his eyes, this person's facial features are exquisite, his complexion is fair, that kind of white is really white, there is absolutely no powder, but it is pink, smooth as jade.

"That's a woman!"

Princess Taiping whispered in Yang Fan's ear, seeing that he was still looking directly at the stage, she suddenly felt jealous in her heart, and couldn't help but reach out and gently pinch his waist, and said angrily: "Can't you take back your eyeballs?" ”

Yang Fan took a long breath, still staring at the smiling beauty on the stage, and said in a low voice: "No, that's a man!" ”

Princess Taiping glanced at him again and said, "I'm talking about the outermost one!" ”

Yang Fan said: "I'm talking about him too!" ”

Princess Taiping smiled and said, "Nonsense, what kind of eyes do you have, if he were a man, I don't know how many women would be ashamed to death." Hmph, do you want to bet, if he is really a man, I will gouge out these eyeballs for you. ”

Yang Fan turned his head and said seriously: "The princess had better not set this bet." He's such a man! Because ......, I've seen his Adam's apple! ”
