Chapter Ninety-Nine: Begging

The merchant gradually drifted away, Chen Wen came back to his senses, broke half of the cloud cake in his hand and gave it to Zhang Alan, and said softly: "Am I undercounting?" ”

“…… Look at you. Zhang Alan stuffed a mouthful of cloud cake and spoke indistinctly: "Thirty, it's okay." ”

With thirty pieces of a purse, Chen Wen can also earn a lot, but looking at Uncle Merchant's expression, Chen Wen should have lost money.

Chen Wen ate the cloud cake and remained silent, Zhang Alan couldn't help but quip: "Are you going to recover it?" He hadn't gone far, he had time. ”

Chen Wen was almost choked by the cloud cake, and waved his hand again and again: "I'll just ask, it doesn't mean that." ”

If you want to increase the price, you said it long ago when the merchant showed a happy expression, instead of waiting until now, muttering to Zhang Alan in private.

Chen Wen held Zhang Alan's hand: "Go back." ”

Zhang Alan nodded, but still asked reluctantly: "Then what do you want?" ”

Chen Wen pointed to the sky, Zhang Alan reflexively looked up, was flashed by the sun, hurriedly lowered his head, closed his eyes, and said, "What?" ”

"By the way, isn't it going to be the Beggar Festival?"

Chen Wen almost forgot, until he saw melons and fruits and some begging items in the merchant's burden, he remembered that today is the third day of the seventh month of July, and in a few days it will be the day of the seventh day of the seventh month of July, the day when the cowherd and the weaver girl meet.

Tanabata ...... I don't know how to spend Tanabata here.

Yes, it's a ritual, right?

"Beggar Festival?"

"yes, what are you going to do?"

Chen Wen thought that there should be a lot of melons and fruits on the table, and then the women prayed to the heavenly immortals, giving them a pair of skillful hands and a wishful husband.

On the night of Tanabata, the village should hold competitions such as threading needles and threads, embroidery, and so on.

Then, the winner gets the jackpot.

Chen Wen nodded secretly, she must participate.

However, Zhang Alan's words broke all her illusions.

"But."

Zhang Alan responded as a matter of course, Chen Wen's eyelids jumped, and he said loudly: "What! But? ”

How is it different from what she watches on TV? It's not what she thought! Chen Wen pouted slightly, unable to help but be disappointed.

"What are you going to do at that festival?" Zhang Alan didn't notice Chen Wen's emotions at all, and continued: "It's boring. ”

“……”

How could it not be interesting, but it was interesting!

"No, you don't have the legend of the Cowherd and Weaver Girl here, do you?"

"What do you call here? We also have the Cowherd and Weaver Girl here! Zhang Alan will grasp the key point, and immediately became interested in Chen Wen's words: "What is the legend of the Cowherd and Weaver Girl you have there?" Listen, maybe it's different. ”

"The Weaver Girl played in the world, fell in love with the Cowherd, and after the Weaver Girl was captured back to Heaven, the Cowherd went to chase her, but was blocked by a big river, and the Queen Mother saw that they were truly in love, and made an exception to let them meet on the seventh day of the seventh month of July every year. After that, there are magpies on the seventh day of July every year to build a bridge for them to meet. ”

Chen Wen thought for a while, and then said, "We have seven ...... a year there It will rain on the Qiqiao Festival, and I heard that it is the tears of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl. ”

After briefly retelling the general story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl with her, Chen Wen couldn't wait to ask her: "Is it the same, is it the same?" ”

"Ah......" Zhang Alan nodded and bit his fingernails: "The story is the same, eight or nine are not far from ten." ”

Chen Wen opened his mouth, helpless: "I...... I thought that if we were separated by two mountains, it might be different. ”

Zhang Alan rolled his eyes at her: "It's just two mountains, not a city." ”

"Isn't it really a festival?"

Chen Wen shook Zhang Alan's arm vigorously, annoying her.

"Few people in our village have ever lived, and some people have just lived." Zhang Alan parted his hand, frowned, and sneered: "Oops, don't shake." ”

"Why can't we do it in our village?"

"I don't know about it." Zhang Alan lightly lowered Chen Wen's chin: "If you want to pass, you will go to the town on the same day." ”

Chen Wen was startled by her sudden chin picking, reflexively shrunk his chin, touched it, and muttered, "What action?" "Like a rascal!

Zhang Alan smiled without eyes, and after a while, under Chen Wen's puzzled eyes, he explained with a smile: "Every year, there are women who choose a son-in-law, and if they want to marry a rich family at this time, most of them will go to the town to compare their talents." ”

"Dangerous, though." Zhang Alan secretly leaned on Chen Wen's ear and said: "This kind of dew is a lot of love, there is a girl in the village next door to us, and she was picked by the man in the city, and she talked about love. ”

“…… Scumbag? ”

"What man?" Zhang Alan scratched his head, not understanding. But he still persuaded her: "Don't go, don't go, it's boring." ”

Is it bad to stay home and watch the stars?

Chen Wen sighed and looked at his hand: "I want to do business." ”

Yes, to do a small business, begging for a festival, you should wear new clothes, right? You want to look good, right? She can do all of this.

By the way, join in the fun and experience what it was like to celebrate Tanabata in ancient times.

Zhang Alan rolled his eyes and had his own little idea: "Do business? Sell your purse, wrap up flowers? Or go and comb the girl's hair? Or maybe sell new clothes? The new clothes that the little ladies in Zhenglin Village wanted, have you done them? ”

"Not yet, soon." The last one, it only took two days or so, and it happened to be able to make some gadgets to sell, and it was another income.

That's what Chen Wen came up with.

However, after listening to Zhang Alan's words, I couldn't help but retreat in my heart.

She is not afraid of being a scumbag, but she is mixed and unfamiliar with life, although she has been to the town once, Chen Wen still feels that it is dangerous to be alone.

If...... It would be nice to be accompanied!

Chen Wen turned his eyes to Zhang Alan beside him, and was about to ask her if she was going, but Zhang Alan took the initiative to say, "I'll go with you, how about it?" ”

"Huh? It's true? Chen Wen paused, and felt strange, she was just a beggar festival: "You go with me?" Why are you going with me? ”

This man! I have to ask questions when I go with her, why do she have so many questions!

Zhang Alan glanced at her impatiently, and felt a sense of annoyance: "Love doesn't go." ”

"Go...... Go, go, go! Chen Wen immediately wrapped up with her.

"Humph!"

"Just the two of us?"

"Not really." Zhang Alan stared directly at Chen Wen's eyes, the roots of his ears slowly turned red, and he said in a slur manner: "My name is Liu Tianquan." ”

Liu Tianquan goes to the town with Brother Yang Mu and Ginkgo every year, and this year should be no different.

However, this year, Ginkgo biloba fell ill, and I don't know if she can make it.

She'd have to find a time to ask.

After speaking, Zhang Alan looked away, and her ears returned to normal, but she didn't have three hundred taels of silver here, and she made a fan with her hands and fanned the wind twice.

Chen Wen saw all her small movements in his eyes, opened his mouth slightly, and looked like he suddenly realized.

Hum! Just said why Zhang Alan thought the begging festival was boring, but he still wanted to go to the town with her, it turned out that this was the idea.

Chen Wen looked at his toes and thought.

Your own light bulb must be so dark that it can't be darker anymore.
