Chapter 46: Feng Yi (Second Watch)
May 5, over the Dragon Boat Festival.
Xiping is lively as if the pot has exploded, every household eats jujube dumplings, smears and drinks realgar wine, weaves and drives away evil color ropes, and pin mugwort leaves in the ears, and the Guogong Mansion is naturally no exception.
Cheng Qi felt itchy behind her ears early in the morning, and when she woke up, she found that Qing Dai was sneaking behind her ears and pinning the cleaned wormwood, and she was woken up by the fragrant and choking smell.
The Cheng family will hold a party during the big festival and invite relatives and friends to reunite, this time it was set the day before the Dragon Boat Festival, that is, yesterday, and it was presided over by Ji Shi himself.
For this day, I heard Qingdai say that the house had been preparing for more than half a month, but she was tearing up with Han Yi and others in the Vermilion Bird Tower at that time, and she didn't see such an exaggerated hecticism.
Because Dachang has less restraint on women, it is nothing for women to show their heads, so the banquet is usually presided over by the clan wife of the family, but Gu's illness is like that, and this year it will give Ji face again, and the next salutes will all go to the third room.
Dachang's gifts are still rare to see real money and silver, jade, calligraphy, painting and fabrics are the majority, Cheng Qi counted the congratulatory gifts like yesterday's mountains, took out and redeemed them, and there must be thousands of taels.
If it was earlier, maybe Xiangfang wouldn't have to pay for it.
However, at yesterday's party, the other two families of the Cheng family in Shanhua Mansion and Dongfu also arrived, and she saw almost all of the juniors and her party, but she didn't remember any of them, because there were too many people.
I used to live in the Guogong Mansion, but I didn't know that the Cheng family was so vigorous, and this young lady was dragged to a young master, as if he didn't want money.
Fortunately, Qingdai reminded her that those are not worth anything, so she doesn't have to bother remembering them.
"Qingdai, my stomach is so uncomfortable."
After Cheng Qi put it on, he sat in front of the makeup mirror and covered his stomach with a sad face.
Qing Dai helped her carefully match the jade ornaments, and muttered: "You deserve it, who told the girl not to listen to the slave yesterday, that mouth is like she can't stop, and she will eat everything she catches." ”
Cheng Qi was said to be out of temper, she thought that the usual meals would be good enough, but she didn't expect the party to go up a notch, she likes to eat, and she eats more without breaking the law.
What's more, it's your own family's rice.
"But I still have to go see the excitement over there in Suishui tonight."
Cheng Qi thought that he would simply change the Luo skirt on his body into a comfortable dress, but thinking that Mrs. Cheng didn't like it, he decided to change it when he went to see the excitement at night.
After eating in the court, the people in the house were excited because of the festival, and a group of children simply went to the North Lane to visit the opera garden, where the whole book of the West Chamber was being sung, and it was crowded.
Although it was nothing to sing about Zhang Sheng and Cui Yingying jumping over the wall to engage in the object, it was nothing, but Cheng Shu, a lady like her, would not listen to it, so she took Cheng Qi to the tea pavilion to see the flowers, and ate all the snacks along the street.
Xiping is a dragon boat race at night, but in fact, as early as noon, the gongs and drums are beaten on the Suishui side, there are red drums elevated, countless long cases with fish and meat are placed on the shore, and the turbid wine is lined up one by one, steaming hot.
The dozens of people who were waiting for the boat race chased and played bare-chested, the water droplets slid down the muscles of the bend, and the daughters-in-law and girls around them were all red.
At night, the torches were lit one after another, and they were reflected on the sparkling water, as if they had crossed one gold pattern after another, and the banks of Suishui were crowded with people, even on the stone bridge.
Every year, the Dragon Boat Festival is crowded, and Mrs. Cheng is worried about something and doesn't plan to let them go out to join in the fun, but she can't stand the soft grinding and hard bubbles of the children, so she relented and asked the servants to follow.
Cheng Qi and the others hurriedly took the car over, but the first task was not to watch the excitement, but to explain that a few people in the long room were looking for Feng Yi in the crowd, but they couldn't forget the business of the satin distribution workshop.
Come here tonight, but it's for this queen of goods, I hope she can wear the backlog of thick satin into Xiping's only hit this summer.
And Cheng Yan's back spine injury was just better, so he ran around with her, running from the bridge to the bridge, and he had to prevent himself and her from being groped, and the sweat of the busy work came out.
Seeing that the wives on the shore lit the turbid wine, and drank it all after it was extinguished, Cheng Qi only felt that her lips were so hot, and suddenly heard a violent gong, and then the sound of the mountain and the tsunami, she knew that the dragon boat race was about to start.
The journey is also simple, that is, slide from the shore to the Lang Bridge 300 meters away and come back, it is a stone bridge more than three feet high and nearly 15 meters high, the fence is also very low, few people walk.
However, tonight's Dragon Boat Festival, there are also countless colored ropes tied on the top, and the colorful rainbow-like long hair is seen from afar, just like Cheng Qi's wrist tied with colorful ropes.
"It's almost starting, why hasn't Feng Yi come yet?"
Cheng Lan pushed through the crowd and found the two people easily, so she was embarrassed: "Taiheng and I searched for a long circle in the north, but we didn't find the person at all." ”
Cheng Qi smacked his lips, and he was a little unsure.
Didn't Feng Se say that her sister would come?
Why hasn't that man shown up yet?
Cheng Lan frowned and said, "It's better to ask the servants to help find it." ”
"Nope."
Cheng Yan decisively rejected his proposal: "They know, Sanfang will definitely get the news, and there is no fault in the satin workshop." ”
Cheng Lan nodded when she heard this, but suddenly said, "What about Ah Yao?" ”
Ah Yao?
Cheng Qi and Cheng Yan both showed an underbeaten expression, and their hearts were so affectionate.
Cheng Lan was lazy to pay attention to these two people, and saw that there was a person squeezed down from the bridge, it was Shen Lu.
"Didn't find it."
Shen Lu panted and ran down, shook his head and said, "I also asked, they said that no one from the Feng family went out at all." Turning her head to look at Cheng Qi, "The girl is afraid that she has been deceived." ”
Cheng Qi grinned when he landed.
It's just that she pretended to be fierce like this, and her face was fleshy, but she looked very cute, which made Cheng Yan stunned, and then heard Cheng Qi mutter: "Damn Feng Se, next time I go to Suzaku Tower, I will let Cheng Yan wrap herself up as an Arab married woman, so that you can't even see a hair." ”
Cheng Yan frowned: "What did you say?" ”
Cheng Qi realized that he had accidentally pursed his mouth, glared at Peach Blossom Eyes, and shook his head, and just as Cheng Yan wanted to ask this person what kind of PY deal he had made with Feng Se with his beauty, there was a sudden commotion on the bridge, which was more lively than the dragon boat race that was about to start.
"It's Feng Yi!"
"Huh!? Is it that Feng Yi of the Feng family! ”
"It's Feng Yi of the Feng family!"
"Get out of the way!"
was making a fuss, and the bridge that was rubbing shoulders really gave way to it, and those people would rather squeeze their faces to blush than dare to disturb Feng Yi's eyes more.
Cheng Qi was stunned, and said in his heart that this Feng Yi is really powerful, it stands to reason that her status is not low, but it is not exaggerated to this extent, she is so sought after by Xiping people, I think it is too much for the people to kill her.
Cheng Shu is so beautiful that everyone is so beautiful, can there be anyone better than her?
But when Feng Yi really appeared in sight, Cheng Qi wanted to say, there is really Nima.
The woman looked like she was fourteen or fifteen, wearing a bright purple shoulder skirt, and her white and stylish collarbones were filled with the moonlight of the night, like a pond where fish were raised.
Her facial features are not very stunning, but she is better than the soft lines, and she has the elegant temperament of poetry and calligraphy in her bones, and a pair of warm phoenix eyes like spring water look over, which provokes the crowded people next to her to dare not breathe, for fear of blowing this fairy-like character away in one breath.
Cheng Shu's gait was stable and exaggerated, but she didn't expect Feng Yi to be more stable than her, not to mention the bead pendants in her ears, and even the distance of each step was just right.
Even when going downhill, it is not affected by gravity and staggers, and it is truly a lotus step by step.
Knowledgeable and reasonable, happy deeds are not words.
Cheng Qi knows tonight why Cheng Shu has lived under Feng Yi for a long time.
She looked at the person who was coming, and suddenly muttered, "I really want to marry her home." ”
Cheng Yan turned his head violently, with a cold expression.
Is this a new hobby added after picking people's pants and eating dead rats?
