Chapter 205: Too Greedy
Huangfu Jingchen glanced at Xia Wenjin again.
For a long time, and harmony and beauty, this word is so good, it seems that every word is filled with a sense of happiness of fireworks and red dust, and when you read it together, you feel as if you are chewing honey, smelling the fragrance, and even your lips and teeth are happy.
However, where will his longevity and harmony be?
The old river, the old river.
If there is really a river god in this world who goes to the Yuelao River, will the Yuelaohe River God know his mind? Will you pity his heart's desire?
However, even if the old river god of the moon pities his wishes, he is a man, Xia Wenjin is also a man, Xia Wenjin wants to marry a wife and have children to inherit the family business, even if they are together, can they last a long time, and be harmonious and beautiful?
Xia Wenjin didn't know that Huangfu Jingchen had thought about it so much, she was talking to the old woman and father-in-law, and teasing Hong'er, as if their grandson was close to them.
After dinner, according to the direction pointed out by the old man, they were ready to go to the Yuelao River.
Hong'er also wanted to follow, but the old woman said: "Hong'er, if you go, your brothers will be distracted to take care of you, and there are many people by the river, so don't go." When you're older, you'll be able to go on your own! β
Xia Wenjin didn't mind taking Hong'er, but the old woman insisted that she couldn't influence them and didn't let Hong'er follow, Hong'er was also very obedient, although she was dumbfounded, she returned to her mother-in-law.
Xia Wenjin finally promised to bring him a lantern back, and Hong'er immediately became happy.
Walk side by side with Huangfu Jingchen to the river.
It was nearly two miles from the village to the river, but it was a small distance for young people, and there were people all the way, more young people, men and women.
According to the old woman, the Yuelao River has been flowing down the mountain and the village since their ancestors.
The river feeds several villages on both sides.
And there are no arranged marriages in these villages, young men and women look at the right eye, as long as the man is not married, the woman is not married, the parents generally do not object, so the husband and wife in the village are very harmonious, there are no three wives and four concubines here, only monogamy. Filial piety to children and grandchildren, family harmony and beauty, Xia Wenjin feels that this is simply the best place in the world.
She chose this road to Liangzhou because she was avoiding her father, but she didn't expect to see such a village and such a group of people.
The world is so big, how little does she know?
Huangfu Jingchen said suddenly: "Actually, Yunzhou is not bad!" β
Xia Wenjin smiled: "How do you compare it to here?" β
Huangfu Jingchen thought about it, shook his head, and said sincerely: "It's not as good!" Those who have money, will marry concubines! β
Xia Wenjin smiled, in the whole Southern Xia, in the whole world, the status of women is not as good as that of men, women must start from the beginning, but men can have three wives and four concubines. The more rich, powerful and powerful the man, the more concubines he has in the family. High-family families, wealthy families, and complex populations.
But she seems to be an anomaly.
In her previous life, all she wanted was a couple for the rest of her life, so Huangfu Yuxuan's promise made her feel very happy, so she worked hard to help each other, and took everything without hesitation, until she finally knew that it was just a lie.
She thought that in the whole of Southern Xia, there would be no such place, and there would be no such people.
Unexpectedly, I saw it in this small village by the river.
This kind of life is the life she envies and yearns for the most!
There is no capital city, no Jinzhou and no Yunzhou!
Xia Wenjin shook his head slowly, in fact, what if there is any? In this life, she is not ready to marry again!
Huangfu Jingchen saw that her expression changed from time to time, and then she shook her head, as if she had made a decision, and her face, which was confused just now, suddenly became firm, and she couldn't help asking, "What are you thinking?" β
Xia Wenjin pointed to the front and said, "Look, it's here!" β
The lanterns in front are hung in the treetops, the hazy light and shadow are reflected, the water on the river surface is sparkling, there are already a few lanterns floating on the river surface, the faint lights reflect the sparkling river water, fluttering away, but there is also a different artistic conception.
There are small vendors peddling: "Childe, do you want to buy river lanterns?" β
On a shelf, there are many river lanterns, large and small, lotus, duck, rabbit...... All sorts of shapes, filling his shelves.
Huangfu Jingchen looked at Xia Wenjin: "What do you like?" β
Xia Wenjin picked a carp, this one should be brought to Hong'er, and another lotus flower was taken.
Huangfu Jingchen didn't give the silver directly this time, he asked the price, some of these lanterns were two cents, and some were three cents.
He picked several of them, together with Xia Wenjin's, and it took seventeen wen.
Xia Wenjin looked at him and mentioned a string of big and small, and said with a smile: "You want to put so much?" β
Huangfu Jingchen had a serious face: "Put it more, there is always a wish that can be heard by the old river god." β
Xia Wenjin smiled: "You have prepared so many wishes? Wouldn't it be too greedy? β
Huangfu Jingchen smiled but did not speak.
He didn't prepare many wishes, only one. If he could, he would like to buy all the river lanterns and let the river float with his wishes. But when you think about it, it's kind of crazy, it's kind of naΓ―ve, so I didn't do it.
The river bank in this area is probably the reason for the river lanterns for many years, all of which are made of bluestone slabs, and there is also a one-zhang square, oval-shaped lampstand.
Lights can be placed into the river along the edge of the platform, and the river water in this area is slow, and the river lanterns will not be swept into the bottom.
There seems to be people on the other side of the river putting lights on the other side, but the river is wide and the lights on both sides will only converge downstream.
As more and more people put lanterns on the surface, the surface of the river is full of river lanterns of various shapes, the river water is reflected, the shadows of the trees on the bank, and the lanterns are dotted, which is very beautiful.
There is also a very large buffalo lamp in it. These lamps are usually custom-made or made by yourself. It was carried by a strong young man, put it down reverently, stood up, watched the "big buffalo" slowly drift into the distance, and shouted at the other side of the river with his mouth closed: "I want to marry Tang Sanni, Tang Sanni, the big cow wants to be with you!" β
Some people who knew him laughed and said, "Da Niu, how long have you been making this lamp!" β
Da Niu turned around, and his honest face was full of joyful smiles: "One month!" β
This is really heartfelt, it seems that the girl he likes lives across the river. Many people joked with him, and he did not hide his liking for the girl named Tang Sanni.
Huangfu Jingchen had some envy in his eyes, he likes a person, it should be like this, right?
But his liking is too shocking!
He doesn't know where to go!
Xia Wenjin also smiled slightly, looking at the happy smiling faces of those young men and women, looking at the river lanterns floating on the river, and sighed, the beautiful feelings of young people are so good!
After the big cow finished putting the river lantern, he got down to put the lampstand and left the place to the descendants.
Huangfu Jingchen walked over with a string of lights.
