Chapter 9 How can anyone dare to come out on the Begging Festival?

I still remember the story between me and Feng Yin clearly.

It is the annual begging festival, and the rich and prosperous Chang'an City is even more atmospheric and luxurious in the festival. Lanterns are tied at the door of every house, all kinds of gold and silver ornaments, jewelry, plates and flowers are also placed on the street, dazzling, the street is full of small stalls and vendors selling sachets and spices, the faint fragrance slowly wafts into the streets and alleys, seeping out the sweetness and softness that only the daughter's family has.

In the old customs of Chang'an, on the day of the begging festival, whether it is the daughter of a large family or the boudoir of an ordinary family, you have to call friends to go to the street to play for a day. I also want to go to the temple to worship, go to the pillar incense, seek peace and marriage, and ask for a good fortune for the future life.

The festival of this daughter's family does not seem to be too popular in Yuchun Building, because everyone knows their identity, a little red lips and thousands of people, a pair of jade arms and thousands of pillows, if you talk about marriage and love, in front of these girls, naΓ―ve is simply ridiculous.

But this year, Feng Yin is unusual, and the interest in the begging festival is high. Since the morning, she has been in a very sunny mood, beckoning me and Lu Dai to pack up our things, go out shopping, and want to go to the temple in the afternoon.

The three of us were really surprised to hear her say that, it was so strange! Fengyin, who is indifferent to even the Spring Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival, has such a great interest in the Qiqiao Festival this year! But for the three of us little girls, the Qiqiao Festival is a beautiful existence, a symbol of happiness, and it is naturally great to have the opportunity to go out and have a walk!

For the dizzying food and fun on the street, the cute Wuping has long been impatient and ready to move.

Although I, Wuping, Lu Dai and Feng Yin are masters and servants in Yuchun Building, when the four of us walk on the street, we are like the little sister next door who comes out to enjoy the lanterns and play, talking and laughing along the way.

We walked all the way from the East Market to the West Market, the prosperity of the East City makes people feel happy about the wealth of Chang'an City, but the West City is more lively than the East Market, in addition to all kinds of novelties that have never been seen before, there are many people from different countries performing exotic dances and juggling, gorgeous dances and unusual costumes attract the audience to applaud.

Wuping suddenly walked to a booth with couplets, and excitedly called the three of us to come over and watch.

"The wind groans! This way! This way! ”

Her unintentional shout immediately attracted the side glances of several men around her, those men looked obscene, and they were not good people at first glance, they stopped beside us, and kept looking Feng Yin up and down with their small eyes while exchanging their heads and ears: "Isn't that the top girl of Yuchun Building, Feng Yin, oops, she looks really good." ”

"It's a real sign of ......"

"What a wind girl, how could I meet here today......

"Could it be that this first card still requires marriage? Anyway, the first night of the wind hasn't been sold yet, right? ”

"Oh, look at the little girl who follows her, she looks really good...... Oh, don't me......"

Wuping's shouts and the content of the conversation with the men were also heard by the other women on the road, and everyone spread more and more, all of them looked at us in twos and threes, their expressions were first surprised, then envious, then turned to disdain, and then began to curse endlessly: "This beggar festival, dare to come out and shop for any goods......

"That's right, seducing men and running out into the streets! I still want to go to someone else's house to grab it! ”

"What a shame ......"

The men looked at her with lewd eyes with ulterior motives, while the women cursed her with harsh language, and they all held their heads high as if they were noble, and they would not even look down at the wind, as if that would make them lose their identity as women of good families!

Maybe they were just afraid that they would feel ashamed when they saw Feng Yin's sinking face, and they lost the confidence and courage to curse her, leaving only a deep inferiority complex.
