Chapter 4 Shangyuan Festival
Today is the sixteenth day of the first month, Shangyuan has just gone, and Nanshui City is still immersed in the excitement of the festival. On the streets, the lanterns are still lit up, and the vendors' stalls are still filled with festival-related goods such as lanterns and masks, and the crowds are bustling despite the cold. The south water is different from the northern Xinjiang, the northern Xinjiang is full of deserts, the climate is changeable, sometimes hot and dry, sometimes the cold wind is like a knife, but the day of Shangyuan coincided with the hot and dry, very extraordinary. Although Nanshui City is said to have a pleasant climate all year round, on the day of Shangyuan, the harsh winter has not passed, so it has added some coldness, and today is a light rain, and there is a lot of smoke and rain in addition to the coldness.
"It turns out that her name is Keiliu." Ji Liu got up, walked to the window, and looked at the street, where the Shangyuan market of that year coincided with today's market.
He still remembers that on that day, she deliberately changed into a pink Luo skirt, tied a red streamer on her head, lightly coated with grease powder, curled Tingting, and invited him: "Today is the Shangyuan Festival, ask Brother Hua if he is interested in traveling on the street?" I took a look on the porch, and the town was brightly lit, and it looked so lively......"
At that time, he was in the house, drinking the herbal tea she had given earlier to relieve the heat. Suddenly he heard a crackling knock on the door, his hand shook, and the teacup fell to the ground with a clang, it was his last cup of herbal tea. He angrily pulled the door open, clasped his hands and asked impatiently, "Do you want to go?" ”
She was stunned at first, then nodded, and said, "I've never seen such a lively scene, so I want to go and see it, but I'm not familiar with the place, and it's best to have someone with me, but ...... I didn't want my fellow caravan mates to see me dressed as a woman, so I ......"
"I'll go with you, but I'll give me a few more herbal teas." Before she could finish speaking, he interrupted with a calm face.
They come to the street, from the street to the end, and back to the street. Everywhere they passed, people walked past them one by one, in groups of laughter and laughter. Some hold paper kites, some hold candy figures, some discuss lantern riddles, and some wear exquisite masks...... Lively and lively. And she and him, just walked around quietly.
"So, you pulled me out to play, just to keep walking, don't you, when are we going to go?" He walked back and forth with her for a long time, but he didn't play anything, and he was deeply bored. So he stopped in front of a mask shop, picked up a beautiful mask, and asked in a deep voice.
"Uh...... There are some things that you look at and like, but you don't have to be part of it, just watch from the sidelines. She tugged at her lips, trying to pull out a calm smile. Seeing that he was still staring at her suspiciously, she was a little embarrassed, hit him on the head with a fan, pretended to be deep, and said, "When you grow up, you will know." After speaking, he put his hands behind his back, turned around and strode forward, completely forgetting that at this moment, he was wearing a Luo skirt.
"This one is very pretty." He didn't move, and whispered to her back. Hearing this, she stopped, turned around, hesitated for a moment, and waved her hand to buy two identical masks, one for him and one for her. It was a delicate half-face mask, the mask as a whole was a protruding face, like a little doll's face, but the doll's eyebrows and eyes were dotted with a few red dots, adding a bit of charm, and the doll's forehead was carved with a peach blossom, which was very beautiful. It was the first time he had worn that kind of strange thing, and he was so happy.
Zi went downstairs, Ji Liu turned around and glanced at Xiliu lying on the table, the cold wind blew, and her straight blue-blue robe floated slightly, making her shiver with cold. He closed the window sash and returned to his seat, his eyes down in contemplation, his eyelashes long, and his bottomless eyes gently covered like a saucer dancing. He didn't expect to see her again, and he didn't expect that he was so obsessed with her not saying goodbye that day, speaking of which, strangers will sooner or later have to go their separate ways, and her farewell without saying goodbye is not unreasonable, but thinking back to her silent and calculating him, it makes people angry and annoyed. Originally, he thought that he was no longer angry, but when he suddenly saw her, that aura crawled to his heart inexplicably. It is said that when Jin Feng Yulu meets, there are countless people in the world, but after he saw her, he lived a very ethereal life, before and after, busy or not, he would think of her from time to time, remembering that day, she calculated him and said goodbye without leaving a trace. So much so that when I see her again now, I feel malice. Obviously, she doesn't know him anymore, or rather, doesn't remember him, will he be so different from two years ago? So much so that she looked at it for so long and was completely impressed? In Shangyuan that year, it was still the poem she chanted in front of him: "On the New Year's Eve last year, the flower market lights were like day......"
She also asked him, "Brother Hua, have you heard this poem?" ”
He replied: "I read it, I don't like it very much, it sounds very boring." ”
The finches outside the door waited for a long time, but they didn't see Xiliu coming out, and they were worried, so they ignored Xiliu's instructions and stretched out their heads to poke into the wing. Seeing Xiliu, who was drunk and unconscious, lying on the table, was shocked, and she hurriedly stepped forward to inquire about the situation.
Ji Liu sat in his place with a faint expression, and said, "Miss Xi is drunk, take her back to rest." ”
Que'er hurriedly helped Xiliu up and helped her to the door.
In front of the gate of Xifu, everyone saw Ji Liu return and dispersed as ordered.
The sun sets and the moon rises, and the lights are on, until the night takes over the day, and I Xiliu wakes up with a splitting headache. She beat her forehead, staggered and lit the oil lamp, and when she heard the sound of Xixun chirping outside the house, she walked out of the door in confusion.
When Que and Xixun saw her come out, they hurriedly ran over to greet her. She waved her hand to indicate that it was okay, and that being drunk was not a big deal.
Que'er muttered: "The young owner hasn't been drunk for a long time, how can someone so drunk suddenly appear, it's really rare." Could it be that Ji Gongzi didn't drink and you drank alone? ”
Xi Xun also nodded again and again, indicating that she was also very puzzled: "Sister, since Xun'er was ten years old, I haven't seen you drunk at the banquet, you got those business people drunk, what's going on today?" Could it be that the wine in Nanshui City is different from the wine in our Xijia Village, and it is more intoxicating? ”
Xiliu found a chair and sat down, and said: "Look, that's really the case, the wine in Nanshui City is too unpalatable, and it has drunk me. My head hurts to death. The finch reacted: "Yes, yes, the sobering soup, I haven't seen you drunk for a long time, and the finch has forgotten that there is such a thing as the sobering soup, I went to the kitchen to ask if anyone can make it." With that, she ran out of the door.
Xiliu stared at Xixun standing next to her, his eyes were sharp, and he asked, "What's going on with you today?" How did you get home from the academy? Could it be that today, the master is allowed to play again, and you can't play? ”
Xi Xun replied: "No, how can the master be so generous and grant us leave every day?" ”
"And how did you get out?" Keiryu asked her as he rubbed his forehead.
Xi Xun smiled and said: "Sister, say it, you may not believe it, Xun'er is smart now, I found a big hole in the corner of the academy, so I said it was dark and quietly crawled out of it." ”
Xiliu was helpless, this sister was really uncomfortable, and suddenly thought of the big hole in the corner of the academy, so he asked: "That big hole, isn't it a dog hole?" Xixun, you climbed the dog hole and came back? ”
