Chapter 15: The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl
Diao Xue looked at Yuyi's back, his figure was relatively weak, a Confucian appearance, he was not as strong as Zhang Daniu, but he gave people a feeling of peace of mind that he could rely on, I don't know why, he just had a good impression of Yuyi, thinking of the embarrassing intrusion earlier, and the deer suddenly bumped into his heart.
"Look at that star, it's Vega, she's the brightest star in the constellation Lyra, fifth in the night sky, and the second brightest star in the Northern Hemisphere." Yuyi suddenly pointed to the sky, a perseverance.
Mink Xue's thoughts were interrupted, she followed the direction of Yuyi's finger and looked at the star, feeling that there was nothing special.
"That's the Cowherd, in the constellation Aquila." After Mink Xue noticed Vega, Yuyi pointed to the Cowherd again.
In ancient times, the pollution was relatively small, and when the weather was fine, many stars could be observed with the naked eye, and it was because the imperial court set up an institution called the stargazing platform in ancient times, where to observe some special astronomical phenomena and divination.
"It is said that once upon a time, there was a family living in the mountains, and a pair of brothers lived in the family. The eldest married a daughter-in-law, but she had a bad heart and always wanted to monopolize the entire family business.
One day, the second child went to herd the cow, and when he got to the field, he was a little sleepy, so he patted the cow's back and said that he wanted to sleep.
At noon, my sister-in-law came to deliver food, and when she saw that the second child was sleeping, she kicked him hard. He put the rice jar on the ground and walked away in a huff.
The second child was hungry for a long time, and he picked up the jar and was just about to eat it, when the big scalper next to him hit the jar, and the jar fell to pieces. The second child was scared when he saw the broken jar, and felt that it would be indispensable to go back for a while, so he could only sigh and sigh for his life. Occasionally, after eating a few bites of food, the wild cat actually died of poison, and he learned that the food was poisonous.
The second child realized that he couldn't live with this evil spirit, otherwise he would be killed sooner or later, so he discussed with the boss about splitting the family, and the daughter-in-law heard it, and immediately came to the spirit, the second child's requirements are not high, as long as the cow, the daughter-in-law was very happy when she heard it, and made the decision on the spot.
The next day, the second child drove away with the ox cart, and the eldest had tears in his eyes. After walking a long way, he built a shed on the local branches and settled down. ”
"And then?" Mink Xue listened to it with relish at this time, how could she allow the rain to stop.
"The origin of the cow is not ordinary, he is the Taurus in the sky, after living with the second child for a year, his life is coming to an end, when parting, he told the second child some things, the cow will return to heaven after death, the second child can peel off its skin, drape it on the body, and be able to ascend to the sky.
The queen mother has 7 daughters, and she will go to Tianhe to bathe on a cloudy day, and there is a green dress who is the wife of the second child, and she must not let them see it after she goes, just hold her clothes and leave, they will definitely chase after her, as long as she returns home, she will not go again.
Sure enough, things were just as Niu had predicted. The next day, the second child buried the cow, and went to the bank of the Tianhe River, and when he saw that there was really a fairy to bathe, he didn't say a word, grabbed the green clothes and ran away. After the three fairies found out, they chased to the second child's house and asked the reason, it turned out that the second child wanted her to be his wife, but the three fairies insisted that the rules of heaven would not allow it, but the second child kept telling about the fun of the world, or the second child was also handsome, or what he said moved the three fairies, and she was really moved.
As a result, the three fairies fell into the world, playing flowers and weaving at home, and people called them Weaver Girls. ”
"This second child is too, how can he take advantage of someone else's bath to steal someone else's clothes?" When Mink Xue heard this, she thought that the second child's method of chasing the Weaver Girl was not glorious, and she complained a little.
"After that, the two should have lived a happy life as a man and a weaver." Complaining is followed by longing, and women are always full of hope for platonic love, and they all think that the result is good.
"It should be like this, but the Weaver Girl's parents don't agree." Yuyi looked at Mink Xue and smiled slightly, and then continued the story.
Because the weaver girl's cloth was very well woven and sold for a lot of money, the living conditions of the two were improved, they moved to a new residence, and a boy and a girl were born.
One day, the second child went to work in the field, and heard the sound of drums in the sky, it was the Jade Emperor who sent the heavenly soldiers to capture the Weaver Girl, and the two children began to cry, so anxious that the second child turned around, he remembered the cowhide, so he put on it and chased it.
The second child chased very quickly, which angered the queen mother, she pulled off the silver hairpin on her head, and swiped between the two, immediately forming a heavenly river, so that the second child could no longer catch up, and both of them cried.
Later, the love of the two touched many people, every year in the beginning of July seven magpie gate will build a magpie bridge, this day the two can meet, after meeting, the magpie bridge dispersed, and the two separated one side. ”
Yu Yi took a deep breath and looked up at the deep starry sky, he hadn't seen this starry scene for a long time. He didn't know why he told Mink Xue the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, perhaps because of the tragedy caused by the parents' control over their children's marriages in feudal society. If you can't break the rules, then become a strong person to make the rules.
"They... It's so pathetic! Yin and Yin love each other very much, but they can't be together! Or because of the desolation of the story, Mink Xue actually cried so much that she was not sad.
"Yes, they were torn apart alive, just because of the old-fashioned tendencies!" Yuyi wiped her tears with her sleeve and decided to help Mink Xue persuade Mink Ruxiao's idea to be better.
The starlight and ancient pavilion in the sky created a romantic atmosphere for the two, coupled with Yuyi's sensational love story and intimate tear-wiping action, once again made Mink Xue's heart collide.
Just as Mink Xue was thinking wildly, there was a sound of a husband beating a watchman, Yuyi stopped the movement in his hand, and said with a smile: "It's not too early, go back and rest." ”
"Actually, I came to you today to see how your door rules are back?"
Only then did Yu Yi think that there was still this important thing to do, nodded at Mink Xue, and then turned around and disappeared into the night.
Looking at the back of Yuyi's departure, Mink Xue turned crying into laughter, after this exchange, the relationship between the two has taken a step further, and a seed of love has begun to germinate in his heart.
After going back, Yuyi hurriedly took out the door rules manual, flipped through the pages, and found that there was not much content, but there was a lot of nonsense, if it had been in the past, it would have been thrown away. This time, it was Mink Ruxiao's request, and she couldn't just get started and dismantle the stage, so she could only read it hard, and fell asleep while reading.
