Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Villagers
On the night of the second day of the Lunar New Year, it is also the most lively in Jintai, everyone is singing and dancing around the bonfire in a large open space, and there are twelve or thirteen boys about ten years old, wearing black and red wide robes and coats, holding a half-foot leather drum, wearing a ghost mask, and the leader wearing the "Xiangshi" mask of the maid boy, dancing the dance of praying for blessings and driving away the evil.
And this also has a name, called "Villager Fu", there was once a poet of Yao He wrote: The poem of the sound of the epidemic and the wine has welcomed the spring is made for this scene.
The fireworks blooming in the sky, the black sky, reflected colorful, like the sky full of peonies of different colors, the night for a time as if it was day, accompanied by the sound of fireworks, like a lightning bolt to break the night sky, leaving a trace of beauty.
At this time, the Spring Festival, not like the modern one, every household is pasted with red happy words and couplets, but in front of the door will hang a sign made of peach wood, which is carved with the door god and Rui beast to drive away evil and avoid evil, some are engraved with the names of Shen Tu and Yu Lei, some are engraved with the portrait of Zhong Kui, and there are some places engraved with words to celebrate the New Year, such as: New Year's Yuqing, Jiajie Changchun.
And now in this feudal society, the folk Spring Festival is just these, in addition to ancient and modern Chinese and foreign dumplings, keeping the New Year, it is the villagers of the country.
Twelve boys dressed in black and red clothes, holding drums and masks, danced and moved around the bonfire, praying for the destruction of evil spirits and the harvest and auspiciousness in the coming year.
Among these many people, presumably only Xiao Chuyun looked at the fireworks and lively bonfires in the sky, but he couldn't be happy.
For her, the current troubles are really unsettled and rising, the cause of death of the Xiao family has been solved, but the whereabouts of the heads of Xiao Zhengqing and his wife are unknown, is the secret of Pisces Jade Pei completely solved, or is this dragon vein completely sealed? There is also the upcoming marriage with Yin Yunqi, which is like a mess blocking her heart.
She also thought about dying, and most of the previous film and television dramas were dead, so she went back.
But Xiao Chuyun is not sure if his modern self is still alive, he was hit by a falling flower pot from upstairs, and hit the Baihui acupoint above his head, even if he is not dead, he is afraid that he is a vegetative person or half-paralyzed.
She's scared...... If you die this time, you are really dead!
"What is Miss Xiao thinking?" Mo Xuanhua suddenly walked to Xiao Chuyun's side, looked up at the sky and said.
Xiao Chuyun turned his head slightly, looked at the second prince in pale yellow clothes with his spare eyes, and said with a melancholy expression: "I'm thinking, why only men can be officials, but women can't!" ”
After that, he turned around and left, but in the small restaurant not far away, as soon as he entered the door, he saw a row of palm-sized brown wine jars placed on the side of the staircase, which just filled a pound of liquor.
Xiao Chuyun casually picked up a small jar of wine, took a palm-sized wine glass from the counter, sat on the table facing the door, poured himself a full glass, and drank it all with his head up.
The second prince, Mo Xuanhua, strolled over, and saw that she was drinking alone, so he walked over with his steps, sat opposite her, and saw that she still had the intention of drinking, so he stretched out his hand to stop her, and said: "Women should not drink, and it is even more inappropriate outside, if something happens, it will be detrimental to the girl's reputation!" ”
Xiao Chuyun brushed away Mo Xuanhua's hand, continued to pour a glass of wine, held a full glass of wine, and suddenly smiled bitterly: "The second prince is too worried!" I am burdened with filial piety, my parents' bones are not cold, in this festive season, I am just a lonely star who will kill my family, and only the doctor and sister-in-law do not dislike me, and have been taking me in so far, and others have long been far away. After a pause, he continued, "Besides, what's wrong with me drinking some wine?" They are happy with theirs, and I am sad for mine, and I do not hinder them in any way! ”
"If Miss Xiao is a family feud, why don't you enter the palace? The whole world is the emperor's, isn't it easy to clear up grievances? Mo Xuanhua said intentionally, in fact, he also doubted what was between Xiao Chuyun and Yin Yunqi
relationship, after all, this is contrary to the holy decree.
Xiao Chuyun was already three points drunk in this matter, his face was slightly red, his eyes were a little confused, and he poured the wine in the cup and sprinkled some of it on the table.
Hearing Mo Xuanhua's question, Xiao Chuyun couldn't help but smile sarcastically, snorted coldly, and said, "Show girl? Scold! Hehehe~ As soon as I entered the palace gate, it was as deep as the sea, there were so many battles in the harem, and there were countless beautiful women and three thousand concubines, what am I? It's just that you want to lock me in the palace for that secret, what's so rare! ”
The wine in the cup, raised his head, and then said: "There are so many beauties in the palace, is there still one missing me?" I am neither a Diao Chan Xi Shi nor a Chang'e Weaver Girl, why should I let your father, a person over half a hundred years old, help him? ”
The voice fell, with drunkenness, raised his hand and pointed at Mo Xuanhua and said, "I'm Xiao Chuyun!" You can only be a wife, not a concubine! It can only be unique, not a stand-in! ”
Mo Xuanhua lowered her head and smiled, but she just felt that this girl was indeed good, a girl from an ordinary family, she wanted to accompany the king every day and seek the emperor's favor, but she saw it thoroughly, and she couldn't wait to stay away.
really has a bit of the Xiao family's backbone, and it is not in vain that she is Xiao Teng's descendant, Xiao Zhengqing's daughter, with the same temper and brains.
"Then Miss Xiao knows that Yin Yun Qi Yin's son has already married her as his wife, and he has treacherously taken the girl, does the girl still plan not to accept the holy decree?" A mysterious light flashed in Mo Xuanhua's eyes, looking at her like this, it was very interesting at that time.
"Are you talking about He Miaoxing?" Xiao Chuyun saw Mo Xuanhua's speechless appearance, faced with his question, he went through it again in his mind, and then said: "Even if he wants to bear me, I have to listen to him say it himself, and what he promised me must be done!" ”
With that, he hugged the wine jar, took out some silver coins from his waist and put them on the table, and staggered out of the small restaurant.
Xiao Chuyun, who was full of alcohol, walked through the crowd, walked in front of Jiang Yue and Zhong Jiaoqin, holding the wine jar, drinking wine as he walked, watching the fireworks in the sky, listening to the laughter of the crowd, and feeling more and more sad in his heart.
Walking to the unmanned path, there were two people behind him, Xiao Chuyun hugged the wine jar, stopped, sighed long, and then the corners of his mouth rose, and said disappreciatively: "Do you want to keep up with a little level?" If you want to come here, go quickly, and at least don't let me find out if you want to track it! ”
Zhong Yaoqin and Jiang Yue stepped forward, looking at Xiao Chuyun's impatient and somewhat unhappy look, Jiang Yue looked at her a little silently, although her heart hurt, she couldn't speak.
"Sister Xiao, don't drink, drinking hurts your body!" Zhong Miaoqin said with concern.
Xiao Chuyun glanced at her, and then said, "What's wrong with me drinking?" Hurting your body is not hurting your body! Oh! That's right! You drink alcohol that affects your image as a scheming, so you can't drink it! ”
When the words fell, Zhong Jiaoqin snatched the wine jar from Xiao Chuyun's hand and fell directly to the ground.
I only heard a "bang", the wine jar shattered when it touched the ground, the broken porcelain pieces were scattered everywhere, and the wine also soaked this piece of land.
Seeing this, Xiao Chuyun turned to look at Jiang Yue, raised his hand and patted his chest, looked at Zhong Yaoqin, and said, "Hey! her! Don't let her smash my wine jar if she has nothing to do, I bought it with money, and I'm going to lose money! ”
"You're drunk!" Jiang Yue looked down at her and said with some distress.
"Yes! Sister Xiao, you're drunk! Let me and Gongzi Jiang send you back, right? Zhong Yaoqin echoed on the side.
When Xiao Chuyun heard their words, he couldn't help but want to laugh, but he couldn't laugh at all, although this wine is liquor, it can't be compared with modern Erguotou and Moutai, but it still has a few degrees, but as soon as this wine is drunk in his mouth, he knows that it is at most the degree of beer.
It's just that he was bored in his heart, and he didn't want to talk to Mo Xuanhua too much, so he deliberately pretended to be drunk and left.
She's very sober at this moment! I just don't want to be sober anymore.
"No need, I'll just go back by myself! You still accompany your Jiang Gongzi! lest I say that I am against you and begin to make things difficult for you. Xiao Chuyun pursed his lips and said.
When the words fell, I only listened to the voices of Shi Chunfang and He Bing'er behind me:
"Xiaoyun, why are you here!"
"Young lady!"
Xiao Chuyun turned around, only to see Shi Chunfang carrying a pot of osmanthus wine, and Bing'er walked over quickly.
The two of them stopped in front of the three of them, glanced at Jiang Yue and Zhong Yaoqin, and then handed the osmanthus wine in the bamboo tube in their hands to Xiao Chuyun and said, "Xiaoyun, look! People here have to eat wine in the New Year, this is osmanthus wine, very fragrant! ”
"Stupid!" Bing'er said with a roll of her eyes.
When Shi Chunfang heard this, she was immediately a little unhappy, and then said with a dark face: "Hey! It's a New Year's custom, isn't it? Who do you have to call me stupid! ”
Bing'er said a little impatiently: "Didn't you see that the young lady was already drunk?" You also brought her wine, isn't it stupid? ”
"Call me stupid! Hum! I think you're stupid! Xiaoyun is not drunk at all, you are the stupidest! Shi Chunfang defended with a dark face.
When the two were arguing, Xiao Chuyun was also a little annoyed to hear it, and just wanted to turn around and leave, he was directly picked up by Jiang Yue, no matter how the person in his arms struggled, he was still indifferent.
Zhong Jiaoqin watched Jiang Yue leave with Xiao Chuyun in her arms, her face was much colder, and she said directly to Bing'er: "Miss Bing'er, your young lady was taken away by others, don't you follow?" ”
When Bing'er heard this, she immediately glared at Shi Chunfang, the fire in her eyes increased sharply, and her tone was full of gunpowder: "It's all your fault!" I only know that I am arguing with me, and the master is lost! ”
Zhong Jiaoqin looked at the people who were far away, slowly followed behind them, her eyes became colder and colder with every step, under the backdrop of the fireworks of the Moonlight Clan, her face looked much more sinister, and she only heard her whisper: "A promise not to be tempted is still useless to Jiang Yue, could it be that I showed my feet somewhere?" Makes him suspicious? After a pause, he continued, "It seems that ...... If you want to separate the two of them, you have to get some tricks! ”
On the other side, Xiao Chuyun was held in Jiang Yue's arms, and returned to the medicine house of the Fallen Divine Doctor, and directly carried her back to the room, Xiao Chuyun, who was still drunk at the beginning, suddenly jumped out of his arms.
The corners of her mouth rose, she looked at Jiang Yue very happily, and just wanted to say something, but she saw Jiang Yue immediately cover her mouth, put her index finger against her mouth, and gently "shh ”
Xiao Chuyun still couldn't hide his smile at this time, and could only lower his voice and say, "Oops! Don't talk about that! What do you think? Didn't I look like I was drunk just now? 2k reading network
