Chapter Ninety-Six: Qixi Throwing Clever Needles, the River Lantern is Difficult to Wish
The Qixi Festival has finally arrived, it is said that all the women who have a red thread wrapped in front of the Yuelao Temple on this day will get a lifetime of marriage, Yuye and his party went to the Yuelao Temple in the world early in the morning, Xiao Se said that if it is too late, I am afraid that there will be a siege again, and he panicked when he remembered the experience a few years ago.
When the four of them came to the world, they saw that there were many young boys and girls in front of the Yuelao Temple, holding red ropes in their hands and smiling at the corners of their mouths, and a white-bearded old man was sitting there to distribute red ropes to everyone.
"Go get the red rope and don't be robbed of it." Zi Chen hurriedly said.
Xiao Se looked unhappy, and when he saw Zi Chen's angry eyes, he had no choice but to go into the pile of people and grab the red rope.
The crowd was crowded, Xiao Se recited a trick, the crowd was separated on both sides, and he walked up to the old man proudly, "Old man, come with two red ropes." ”
The moment the old man handed the red rope to Xiao Se, he tightened the other end, Xiao Se was about to get angry, and shouted, "You old man, ......"
The old man raised his face, and Xiao Se suddenly became dumb, and his face was green.
"Yo, isn't this Yaojun, I didn't expect Yaojun to have such Yaxing, could it be that it is a dead wood in spring?" Yue Lao couldn't hide the teasing smile on his face, Xiao Seren is old face was also red with shame, and he scolded this old man thousands of times in his heart, and he didn't know what wind was blowing, so he actually sat here in person.
"Ahem...... Benjun is here to see how you are doing for a living. Xiao Se pulled the red rope from Yue Lao's hand, and was anxious to turn away, but heard his slow voice coming into his ears.
"Recently, the heavenly realm has been peaceful, and there is no after-dinner conversation......" Yue Lao narrowed his eyes, and the cunning appearance of the old treacherous made Xiao Se grit his teeth in anger, but he couldn't attack.
"Five tranquilizing pills." Xiao Se grabbed Yue Lao's hand and said in a low voice.
"Ten." There was a sly glint in the old moon's eyes.
“…… Yes! Xiao Se had blue tendons on his forehead, resisting the urge to punch him in the face, never thinking that he would not only lose his old face for two broken ropes, but also compensate him for ten tranquilizing pills.
Holding two red ropes and walking out with a helpless face, Zi Chen didn't notice Xiao Se's expression, and happily ran over to get the red rope, handed one to Sui Xiaoxiao, and the two walked into the Yuelao Temple, leaving Yu Ye and Xiao Se in place.
Seeing Xiao Se sighing again and again, Yu Ye couldn't help laughing, sure enough, one thing fell to another, his eyes fell on a stall selling jewelry pendants not far away, looking for something to buy for Sui Xiaoxiao, she would be happy.
Walking to the stall, he carefully looked at the jewelry, although he didn't understand the things of these daughters, but he still picked up a pair of white jade earrings, thinking about the appearance of the Sui dawn belt, the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled.
Suddenly, his eyes fell on a simple plum hairpin on the stall, except for a blooming plum blossom, there was no excessive decoration on the hairpin, but he couldn't take his eyes off it, making him think of the girl, she was just like this hairpin, light makeup and plain wrapping, it was difficult to hide its beauty.
At this time, in the bustling street market, there were two handsome young men looking left and right, and it was difficult to hide their joy.
"Boss, here are two coincidences." Seeing Mo Fei staring intently at a steaming paving, Yun'er smiled
I got up, walked over, and said to the boss.
The two of them each held a hot fruit in their hands, and when they took a bite, the flour fruit mixed with the sweet milk flavor made Mo Fei admire.
I didn't expect the Qixi Festival in the world to be so lively, Mo Fei was dazzled, and suddenly saw a crowd of people in front of him, I don't know what everyone was looking at.
Fill the bowl with water, put it in the noon sun, and then put the embroidery needle in the bowl, watch the water waves reflect in the water, and the needle floats down, if the needle shadow is like a flower like a cloud, or in the shape of a bird or beast, it will be considered "begging for skill", and the good fate that the girl hopes for in her heart will come true; If the needle is like a mallet, or bent and does not form a shape, it will be considered "begging for clumsiness".
"Fei'er, let's try it too." Yun'er was eager to try.
"No, don't forget that we're men now." Mo Fei frowned, seeing that the people in line were all women.
"What are you afraid of, you have to have fun when you come out to play." Yun'er pulled Mo Fei up and lined up behind the girls.
The onlookers were happy, there were still men who wanted to throw clever needles, it was really strange, seeing the people around them pointing at them, Mo Fei blushed, and pulled Yun'er's sleeve to signal her to leave, but Yun'er rolled up her sleeves at the onlookers and shouted loudly, "Who said that only women can cast clever needles, Ye just wants to vote, what, no?" ”
Caused a burst of laughter, and a few girls blushed and looked at the two delicate teenagers, looking at their skin like water, red lips and white teeth, the slightly darker young man with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, outstanding demeanor, the other young man is as elegant as the wind, looking forward to life, both appearance and demeanor are superior, making a group of girls blush and heartbeat.
Seeing that the previous girl turned away in disappointment, Yun'er stepped forward, picked up the embroidery needle, and threw it into the bowl, everyone enlarged their eyes, the needle fell, and the shadow was like a cloud, Yun'er was overjoyed, and everyone applauded and said loudly, "Begging for a coincidence!" ”
Yun'er pushed Mo Fei in front of her, seeing Yun'er's excited appearance, Mo Fei was helpless, she had to pick up the embroidery needle and put it on the water inadvertently, but saw the needle shadow turn into a beast, everyone gasped, they had never seen such a shape of needle shadow in their lives, it was really rare, they rushed up to see what it was, and the two of them took advantage of the chaos to quickly leave.
"Do you think you'll meet your sweetheart today?" Yun'er winked at Mo Fei, Mo Fei glanced at her, and said, "You know how to laugh at me", and was about to hit her, and the two of them wandered around the road for an afternoon, walking here and looking there.
Suddenly, his eyes fell on a plum blossom lamp not far away, Mo Fei couldn't help but breathe tightly, and walked towards the shop that sold lanterns, remembering that a long time ago, the master had taken her to go shopping with Long Fuzhi in the market, and there were a lot of troubles for this lantern, time passed, and when she saw the same plum blossom lantern again, Long Fuzhi had already lost news, and the master also had his beloved beside him, and he didn't need her anymore.
Yun'er walked over and saw Mo Fei touching the lantern with affection, saying that he liked it and bought it back, Mo Fei shook his head and pulled Yun'er to turn around and leave.
Until it's getting late, Yun'er
Touching the screaming stomach, Mo Fei was also hungry, and the two happened to walk in front of a restaurant, it seemed that business was booming, and people came and went.
As soon as the two sat down, Yun'er's buttocks had not yet touched the bench, and they heard an angry roar "Yun'er" on the second floor, which made Yun'er tremble in her legs, and almost fell to the ground, raising her head in fright, and the four fairy-like people on the second floor looked at them in surprise.
Yun'er and Mo Fei had no choice but to go up to the second floor, Xiao Er added a chair and two dishes and chopsticks, Yun'er lowered her head and didn't dare to look at the face of the master opposite, and secretly complained in her heart, how could she meet them in so many restaurants on the street, just when she was thinking about how to make excuses for them to sneak out, Mo Fei, who was sitting on the side, spoke.
"I wanted to go out for a walk, and I heard that there were a lot of delicious food and fun on the street today, so I begged Yun'er to take me out." Mo Fei raised his head, looked at Xiao Se, whose face was blue, and relieved Yun'er.
Xiao Se heard Mo Fei say this, and it was not good to blame Yun'er again, Zi Chen also echoed and said, "It's okay to come out and walk around, and it's boring to stay in Fengmingtai for a long time." ”
Mo Fei's eyes unconsciously looked at the master, and the woman beside him, only to see that her skin was like clotted fat and her face was like white jade, and her purple clothes made her more and more dusty like a fairy, making people unable to take their eyes off, just like what she saw in the scroll many years ago, it was incredibly beautiful.
"Yuye, who is this?" Sui Xiaoxiao looked at the young man in front of him, looking puzzled.
"This is Murphy, my apprentice." Yu Ye hadn't had time to tell Sui Xiaoxiao about his apprenticeship, since Mo Fei woke up, he had always wanted to take the opportunity to bring Mo Fei to Sui Xiaoxiao to meet, but he didn't expect to be here.
Sui Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, looked at the handsome young man opposite in surprise, and after a pause, said, "I didn't know that you accepted an apprentice, your name is Mo Fei?" Thank you for taking care of Yu Ye, is he very strict? ”
"Whatever my sister says, Master takes care of me, I make trouble for Master, and Master treats me...... Very good......" Murphy lowered his eyes.
When eating, Sui Xiaoxiao sandwiched the meat from the fish's belly into Yu Ye's bowl, "You love fish, eat more." ”
provoked Xiao Se to be envious, and said in his mouth, "Yuye, you are really blessed," After speaking, he deliberately looked at Zi Chen, Zi Chen knew that he was deliberately talking to himself, and ignored it.
Seeing this, Yu Ye's face was a little hot, after all, this was not the two of them alone, there were so many people beside him, as well as his own apprentices, he whispered to Sui Xiaoxiao, "You eat too." ”
Although the meal was hearty, Mo Fei was tasteless. After dinner, the six people walked out of the restaurant, at this time, the lights were on, the market was more lively, I heard Yun'er say that there would be a custom of putting river lanterns here at night, I heard that the wish was written on the small lantern and put it in the river, and the wish would come true, Zichen excitedly pulled Xiao Se to put the river lantern, and everyone walked to the river with the flow of people.
Walking in the front are Xiao Se and Zi Chen, Yun'er and Mo Fei are walking in the back, Mo Fei looks at the master and Sui Dawn Fairy, they look like a match made in heaven.
Passers-by saw that these six people were born in a phoenix posture, standing out from the crowd for a while
attracted a lot of attention, the market was already crowded, and at this time, a man accidentally bumped into the ear of dawn.
Yu Ye hurriedly held Sui Xiaoxiao and asked anxiously, "Are you injured?" ”
Sui Xiaoxiao shook her head, she stroked her forehead, and said, "It's just that there is some chest tightness and discomfort, and I am dizzy." ”
"Since you are not feeling well, I told Xiao Se, let's go first." Yu Ye wanted to go to Xiao Se, but was stopped by Sui Xiaoxiao, "No, don't disturb Zi Chen's interest, you ...... Just hold me up......"
"Okay, be careful." Yu Ye gently pulled Suixiao's arm.
Seeing the delicate woman in front of her leaning on the man in white, even the bustling crowd couldn't isolate the tender and sweet words between the two, her heart trembled, Yun'er saw Mo Fei stop, her face was a little strange, and asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”
Mo Fei shook his head, clutched his chest and muttered, "Maybe I ate too much." ”
Yun'er smiled and teased her, "If you eat too much, your stomach is uncomfortable, why are you eating too much here, it is obviously chest tightness." ”
When they arrived at the river, they saw people holding lotus lanterns in their hands and came here one after another, and the young men and women who secretly promised to put the lotus lanterns in their hands into the river, hundreds of lotus lanterns floated on the gentle river surface, they went down the river, sparkling, and it was almost impossible to tell which was the river lantern and which was the stars in the sky.
Xiao Se distributed the six lanterns to everyone, he waved his pen and put the lotus lantern into the river, Zi Chen also wrote a line of small words to put the lotus lantern into the river, followed by Yuye and Sui Xiaoxiao, they put a lantern together, when the lotus lantern in Yun'er's hand was put into the water, it almost sank into the river, she screamed, fortunately it floated again, staggering away, Xiao Se smiled, "You have too many wishes, so many that the lotus lantern can't carry it." ”
Mo Fei hesitated for a long time with the pen, but finally wrote nothing, put the lotus lantern in her hand into the river, and watched it fade away, her wish lantern could not be realized......
