Chapter 235: The Festival of the Flower God
The origin of this so-called "Flower God Festival" is a legend that a flower goddess in the sky fell in love with a florist in the mortal world, and for the sake of the florist, she fell into the mortal world, abandoned the divine status, and lived with the florist.
This kind of immortal love is always compiled into various yearning storytelling chapters in the mortal world, which attracts praise.
In Yaozhou, there is a custom of giving lanterns to lovers on the Flower God Festival.
If you don't want to, then you have to do it.
"And such an open folk culture?" I was a little surprised.
This marriage is generally the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, who do you like, can express your heart to the other party? Before that, I had never heard of it.
"Sister, what's so strange about this, we are the same, whoever you like, just say it, there is nothing to hide." Mei'er said without thinking.
It's just that after saying this, the expression on her face began to become lonely, presumably recalling Zhuo Xingchen again.
"Let's find an inn first and rest." Floater immediately opened his mouth to propose.
I nodded, and after the carriage entered the city gate, we didn't pick any more, but directly found an inn nearby, and went in and asked for three upper rooms.
Mingbeilin asked the guys to prepare food and hot water, and they traveled for seven days, and we didn't wash properly, and we all "got rancid".
When the hot water came, I washed the two of them first, put on new clothes, and then I took turns washing with Ming Beilin.
Ming Beilin changed into a dark robe, put on a jade crown, and his clear and abnormal face made people's hearts flutter without any modification.
"Chu Xiyan, you are wearing a rose-red skirt, but you look better." Ming Beilin said, raised his hand, and ran it through my hair: "Let's go, this god will take you out for a walk, buy some rouge gouache, and jewelry." ”
"No, I don't like to wear jewelry." I immediately refused.
"What's a woman who doesn't like jewelry? What's more? He paused, leaned over and whispered in my ear: "When we get married, we need hairpin rings, and this god hopes that you can pick the one you like." ”
When it comes to the wedding, I can't help but raise the corners of my mouth, I haven't thought about this, what else do I need to buy, I just hope that a few of us can get together, eat some wine and food, just like ordinary people, and have a happy event.
"Xiyan, go ahead, I'm here!" Float patted his chest and said with a smile to me and Styx.
"I want to go too!" Hongtu stood in front of the window, looking at the lively street market downstairs, and shouted.
"Hongtu is good, it will be served in a while, is it possible, you don't eat sauce elbows?" Mei'er looked at Hongtu and asked.
Hongtu pursed his lips, thought about it, or stayed and ate elbows.
He took my hand and walked downstairs to the inn.
As soon as I got out of the inn, Ming Beilin bought a lantern for me in front of the nearby lantern stall, and there was a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth.
Did he want me to give him the lantern? I couldn't help but smile.
"Shenjun, are we okay today?" I carried the lantern and followed by the side of the Stygian Forest.
Ming Beilin shook his head, walked to the previous stall, and bought me an osmanthus sugar cake.
He knew that I liked sweets, and before he had swallowed the sugar cake in his mouth, he took me into a shop that sold rouge gouache.
Originally, in this shop, many girls were buying fat powder, and as soon as Ming Beilin entered the store, those girls turned back one after another, and their eyes were completely focused on Ming Beilin.
"Pianpian son, outstanding?" A girl who was dressed extremely gorgeously and had a proud face was stunned for a long time after seeing Ming Beilin, and then walked towards us and handed the lantern in her hand to Ming Beilin.
Instead of reaching out to pick it up, Mingbeilin passed by her directly, walked to a row of rouge gouaches, picked them up one by one, and opened them for me to see.
"What color do you like?" He doesn't know much about these things.
And I'm not much better than him, and Sister Yulan once dressed me up carefully.
"Boss, I've got it all." After a pause, he took out a silver ticket from his sleeve and handed it to the proprietress.
"Eh, God-king, there's no need to be so extravagant and wasteful." I hurried to stop it, but Ming Beilin had already pushed those fat powder in front of the proprietress.
The proprietress praised and was generous, and she helped to wrap it up.
"Childe, this lantern is for you." Before, the girl, carrying the lantern again, walked towards the North Lin, and handed out the lantern shyly.
"Girl, he's my father-in-law!" I looked at the girl, and without waiting for Beilin to speak, I opened my mouth and said.
Stygian Beilin, who was beside me, immediately put a hand on my waist.
"That's right, this is my lady who is about to pass through the door." With that, he carried the big box of rouge gouache and led me out of the shop.
When I got to the market, he seemed to see something extraordinary, and suddenly took me by the hand and quickened his pace.
I followed him, walking forward quickly, through the crowd, and soon I saw a stall selling rock sugar gourds, and on the wooden stakes of this stall, there were at least thirty or forty strings of sugar gourds.
These sugar gourds are not only plump and big, but the syrup is also coated with black and white sesame seeds, which makes people salivate when they look at it.
"How much silver?" Beilin asked.
"A string of ten articles." The old man who sells sugar gourds said.
"I want them all." Beilin handed the broken silver he had just found to the old man, and then directly carried away the stake.
"God-king?" I lowered my voice and tugged at the corner of his clothes: "Already, I've bought too many things, let's go back." ”
"I haven't bought the jewelry yet." Beilin had no intention of going back.
I wrinkled my eyebrows and stared at him, thinking that there was really no way to take him myself.
"These silver coins are kept by this Divine Monarch in a hurry, if you buy a hairpin ring, you need to pay the silver money, then this Divine Monarch is not too much?" He thought I was asking him where the money came from, so he began to explain, and when he spoke, his expression was actually a little "nervous".
"Shenjun, let's not buy it, wait until we get to Moxi Village, and then find a shop to choose one or two." I took him by the arm and persuaded.
Beilin thought for a moment, and then nodded thoughtfully.
"You wait, this god lord will send these things back to the inn first, you wait here for a while." In his hands, he carried a lot of things, as well as the wooden pillar with the sugar gourd.
Now, we're not too far from the inn, and Hell plans to send them back first, and then come back to me.
"Okay." I nodded, stood in front of a candy man's stall, and waited for the North to return.
