Chapter 25: The Day of Beggars

On the second day of the Begging Festival, Zhezhe stayed in the house for another day.

Gong Bo Xin Xin went out in the morning.

Zhezhe originally wanted to go to Kurong to ask if Yin Si would come back today, but she still remembered that he said that he would give her a peach blossom hairpin.

Zhezhe, who was holding a purse in his hand, looked left and right, and struggled for a day without making up his mind.

On the left is a pair of exquisite embroidery patterns, from the hands of Xin Xin, how to look good. The two on the right are not only ordinary patterns, but also sewn seven or eight stitches, barely able to see, but they are really not very good-looking.

Which one do you want to send to Yinmi?

Do you want to give it to you with a good face, or do you want to give it with an ordinary one with a heavy meaning?

Ah Wan and Ah Ru watched her struggle for a day, but they didn't dare to interrupt.

Today, Zhezhe sent Awan to Kurong to ask many times today, but unfortunately he was not there, and there was no response when he handed over the words.

Ah Ru told Zhezhe that during the day, the princes played chess and painting in the cool house, and played the piano. At night, lanterns will be hung on the lotus pond, there are word puzzles, lantern riddles to guess, a group of talented and beautiful women, where to chant poems for the opposite, melons and fruits are fragrant, wine is mellow, people are not intoxicating, and the scenery is also intoxicating.

Zhezhe heard her say so tempting, but his heart was unmoved. She learned these piano, chess, calligraphy and paintings, and she was not interested in participating in them.

"Miss, you used to like this kind of party," Ah Ru was very puzzled, in the past, these sub-invitations would be attended by Zhezhe, even if he couldn't go, he had to listen to what it looked like, but now, he was indifferent, and even a little bored.

"I want to practice," Zhezhe explained, "and the mind is calm and naturally cool." ”

According to you, I'm even less curious.

I was not interested, and the original body before this was keen on these, if I really went to this party, I am afraid that it is impossible to pretend to be small and transparent, and it is even more impossible to chant poetry, so it is better to squat in the house and stay honestly!

"Do you two want to see it?" Zhezhe stayed up until the evening and ate, waiting for their house to pack up a change of clothes, and then go to wash.

"What's so nice about this, when Miss went before, we both followed," Ah Wan shook her head, "and there is nothing to see." ”

Aru didn't speak, lowered her head, and betrayed her with an expression.

"It's okay to go, I'll stay in the house when I come back after washing, and it's okay if you come back later," Zhezhe saw Ah Ru's yearning at a glance, and said to Ah Wan, "There are so many guards here now, it's going to be fine, I'll close the doors and windows when the time comes, you can rest assured!" ”

Awan wanted to refuse, but was denied by Zhezhe waving his hand, if you want to go, you can go, there are so many talented and beautiful women, it's good to look at it from a distance! Although I don't want to go, I won't restrict others and let others accompany me, and I can't go!

Ah Wan and Ah Ru saw that she was resolute, and after thinking for a while, they could be regarded as accepting.

"Miss, purse," Ah Wan reminded behind Zhezhe when he arrived at the washing place.

"Oh-" Zhezhe pinched the four purses and walked all the way, still not making any decisions, thinking about it, and handed them all to Ah Wan.

"Miss, can I help you?" Ah Wan saw that she was so entangled for a day, and said, "The prince is busy tonight, I'm afraid I won't be able to see anyone!" I'll carry it for you. ”

"Well," it's okay, the master is really busy, and the senior brother doesn't know where to go, and I'm not sure if I can send it out tonight."

"Wait," Seeing that Ah Wan was about to turn around, Zhezhe stopped him again, "Forget it!" ”

"No," he was unwilling, "why don't you do it?" ”

Zhezhe looked at Ah Wan with a questioning expression.

"Forget it, you didn't say anything just now," so entangled, why are you doing, isn't it just to send a purse? As for it? Zhezhe was very annoyed, turned around and went into the house, closed the door, and the two maids were left outside, and he took off half of his clothes in the house, and ran to the door again, and asked them to change their clothes and come in.

Here, the two people waiting outside the door, holding a purse in their hands, you look at me, I look at you, and I don't know what to do.

"Awan, what do you mean?" To send it or not to send it?

"I'm probably going to give it away," Ah Wan wasn't sure, but when Liang Zhecheng sent the lotus pod that day, he did ask her privately what kind of hairpin Zhezhe liked, or what style of hairpin.

At that time, Ah Wan didn't dare to answer, but she was puzzled in her heart, thinking if she saw that side that day, and the two masters had feelings for each other? Later, looking at Zhezhe's embroidered purse, and what Xin Xin said to her, she soon understood.

She understood, and Ah Ru naturally knew, two people, you look at me, I look at you, Miss Today is so irritable, as if she has been waiting for someone, she always asks them to ask Kurong Dao to come over.

The Daoist Kurong is accompanying the prince of the world, and he will transfer it on his behalf, which is indeed good, but where does the Taoist come from!

"If you want to send it, which one should you send?" Ah Ru stared at the two pairs of purses, unable to make up her mind, "Didn't Miss just say that you should make a decision?" ”

But the young lady also said, let me be like she didn't say anything," Ah Wan couldn't figure out what Zhezhe meant, "I don't know what to do." ”

"Ah Wan, you have the most idea," Ah Ru bit her lip and thought for a long time, "You asked Miss to see this matter in private, although the eldest lady knew, but she didn't blame, after all, she and Miss are sisters, and the Daoist of Kurong is different, if the Daoist disagrees with this matter, go and tell the old lady, you have to eat the board!" ”

Even if the holy decree gave the marriage, but the parents on both sides wrote to state that they would discuss it after three years, and now the eldest lady will be out of the cabinet in a month, and the old lady will have two daughters, if they are married, I am afraid that they will be sad for a while.

"I think it's better for you to send it," this matter was originally decided in private, so it's better for fewer people to know, if you can postpone the marriage period, just postpone it, so that the old lady can also ease her mood.

"I know," Awan still understands, "but even if I make a decision, I don't know which one to choose!" ”

"Naturally, the eldest lady made it," Ah Ru shook her head, "The young lady did it herself, it really is-, if you send it out, the Gongbo's Mansion will be laughed at in the future!" ”

"Okay then," Awan looked at the purse in her hand, hesitated for a while, and nodded, "I'll send it, you wait here for Miss to come out, I'll be back soon!" ”

When Zhezhe came out after washing, he only saw Ah Ru alone, but not Ah Wan, "Where is Ah Wan?" ”

"I'm going to look for the young lady," replied Aarro, "and I'm going to be back soon." ”

"Oh," went to the master again? I've asked a lot of times today, and I guess I'm really busy, I'm afraid I won't be able to see it today, "Is the master also with the lotus pond?" ”

"Yes," Ah Ru didn't understand, why the young lady suddenly smelled the Taoist again, and always felt that there was something wrong with this answer, but she couldn't figure out what was wrong.

"Don't you want to join in the fun? Why did Awan go and find someone, you stayed here? Zhezhe smiled and took the clothes purse in her hand, "Why don't you go too, and when you see Awan, tell her that you don't have to deliberately look for it, you two can play there for a while!" ”

"Butβ€”" Aru retorted.

"You don't have to follow me, you can go if you want, I also remember this way, it's not far from the left and right, you can go back by yourself," Zhezhe interrupted her, and there was no disobedience in his tone, "This is an order, you just go, don't be afraid of Awan, just say that I said it!" ”

"Yes," Aru hesitated for a moment before daring to thank him, "Miss, don't worry, we will definitely convey it." ”

"Do your best, just do your best," knowing that Ah Ru was a little tough, Zhezhe didn't want to entangle with her anymore about relaying this matter to the master, waved his hand, and urged her to go.

After driving Ah Ru away, Zhezhe walked all the way with his clothes and purse, and thought all the way until he returned to the house, but he still didn't understand which one to send to Yinsi.

It was really a headache, put the dirty clothes in the basket, and looked carefully at the purse, only to find that it was over, the pair of purses embroidered by Xin Xin, there was only one left, and suddenly five thunders hit the top, scratching his ears and cheeks for a while.

Didn't you, you also went all the way, and just dropped one? Why so careless? Hurriedly searched all the way back, but as soon as he went out, he didn't go far when he saw the eldest brother-in-law of the prince, what a hell.

Thinking of what my senior brother said, let myself understand the difference between men and women, hide a little, and hurriedly run back, but I was still stopped.

"Shi-" Zhezhe looked at the guards passing by, didn't shout out, and changed his words, "Liang Gongzi, why did you come from the banquet?" ”

"I-" Liang Zhecheng blushed and put his hands behind his back, if he had typed the manuscript in his mind, there was no shadow in an instant, and he stammered for a long time, and he didn't know how to express it.

"Did you receive a purse?" Zhezhe didn't have anything to say, I said eldest brother-in-law, isn't it good for you to have a banquet by yourself and run back by yourself? You like my sister so much, my sister is still at the banquet, today she passed, I saw it, she brought her own embroidered purse, is it possible that she hasn't given you yet?

"Hmm-" Liang Zhecheng nodded, "Thank you, that, I-"

Stumbled, and didn't understand what he wanted to say for a long time.

"No thanks, you're happy," probably because I was so touched by the purse that I wanted to come over to express my gratitude, right?

"This, for you!" Liang Zhecheng only felt that the more he stood here, the more he didn't know what to do, his mind was blank, and his hands and feet began to tremble, so he hurriedly pulled out the box behind him, bent over, and held it in front of Zhezhe, "I like that purse very much." ”

"Give it to me?" Zhezhe looked at the wooden box in his hand, a little afraid to take it, is this a thank you gift?

"Your sister's embroidery is really beautiful," Liang Zhecheng didn't dare to raise his head, "Say thank you to her for me, hard work!" ”

"It's good to say," seeing that his head was going to bend into the soil, Zhezhe took the box, it was rare for his brother-in-law to be so friendly, and the little helper was so happy, and he was really embarrassed to give gifts, and he always felt that if he didn't answer, he would really bury his head in the soil.

"Then I'll take my leave," feeling a light hand, Liang Zhexiang breathed a sigh of relief, his heart pounded, and he immediately turned around and ran.

Before Zhezhe and the two thanks could be said, he couldn't see the figure, holding the wooden box and staying in place.

So excited?

I guess I can't get out of the banquet, so I'm in a hurry to go back to accompany Xinxin, right?

Zhezhe shrugged, opened the box in his hand and looked at it, and immediately closed it with just one glance.

No, this, this is a hairpin!

What the hell? On this day, the man gave the woman a hairpin, isn't it to confess his heart?

Even if you thank yourself for your help, you shouldn't give a hairpin, right? I'm his sister-in-law, this hairpin, even if she didn't give him a purse, wouldn't it be nice for people to know about it?

Don't you have to be careful?

I thought of what my senior brother said, let myself ignore this world, and hide when I see it, I didn't understand why at the time, but now I finally understand!

This son of the world, with an honest face, turned out to be a perverted embryo, eating in the bowl and looking at the pot, his grandfather gave him a marriage, and he still wanted both? It's really bold, and the lust dares to break through the sky!

The more Zhezhe thought about it, the more angry he became, so he simply went back to the house, threw the hairpin box aside, sat on the chair and sulked, where was he still in the mood to find the purse and drop it!

If you lose it, you will lose it, if you go out, this world will come back again, how annoying it is!

Anyway, I didn't want to send a purse made by Xin Xin, I couldn't make a pair, and I made it myself!

When Yin Si came to look for her, he saw her sitting at the table, biting her fingers, and there were two purses on one side of the table, with a bitter and hateful face.

Yin Si didn't speak, sat down opposite her lightly, took out the two purses, and put them in his hands to check.

"Senior brother?" Seeing him appear on the other side, Zhezhe was not surprised at all, but was a little happy, "I thought you wouldn't come to me today!" ”

"Why don't you come?" Yin Si looked at the purse in his hand and smiled, although it was still unsatisfactory, but compared with the last time, it was really good and couldn't be better! ”

"I did it myself, a stitch and a thread, it depends on the mind, the mind is the most important," I thought he was still busy outside today, "I don't know where you went, I wanted to ask the master, but his old man is busy today!" ”

"Naturally, I'm busy," Yin Si nodded, "but I won't be busy tomorrow." ”

Tomorrow, this group of young ladies will finally go back.

"Why do you embroider two of your purse?" Yin Si looked at the pair in his hand, and he didn't understand a little, this Wu country's begging festival does have a purse and a hairpin, but to be a pair, I'm afraid there is no such tradition, right?

"I'm thinking, make a pair, you keep one, I'll keep one, you see," Zhezhe took the purse and explained to him, "When I embroidered swallows here, I deliberately only embroidered one and a half, you see, put them together in a fake way, it's a pair of swallows!" ”

"The purse is divided into two, one for you, one for me, the whole swallow represents ourselves, this half means that half of our minds are on each other," Zhezhe was very satisfied with his explanation, very meaningful, is there any.

"That's good," Yin Si nodded, "It's better if it can be embroidered more beautifully!" ”

"Then I'm not a bad embroiderer," Zhezhe pouted, very aggrieved, "Do you want it, No, I still have it here-"

A Xin Xin embroidered purse, before this sentence was finished, it was interrupted by Yin Si, "Yes, why not, didn't you say it yourself, is the mind the most important?" ”

"Naturally," the girlfriend said right.

"Come," Yin Si picked out a purse, put it away, returned the remaining one to Zhezhe, and stretched out his hand to her, Zhezhe was very obedient, put his hand in his palm, by him, took his hand, sat in front of the bronze mirror, and then looked at him in the mirror, took out a wooden box from his sleeve, opened it, twisted out a lotus hairpin, put it in a bun for her, and then bent down, leaned in front of him, and looked at the person in the mirror with her.

A pair of beautiful people, smiling like flowers.

"Is it pretty?" Zhezhe turned his head and smiled sweetly.

"That's what I should ask you!" Yin Si nodded her nose and smiled, Why did you ask about me instead.

"I think I look good in whatever I wear," she doesn't understand what jewelry is, she doesn't know the pattern, and she doesn't know the standard of whether it looks good or not, but one thing she can be sure of, "I like this hairpin, you give it to me, no matter what!" ”

"Silly!" Yin Si teased, and at the same time picked up the person by the waist and put it in his arms, "I don't know what's wrong, but I haven't seen you for a few days, but I think you are tight." ”

"Me too," Zhezhe put his arms around his neck and whispered in his ear, "However, I know you're busy, so I didn't talk about it, and I kept it all in my heart." ”

"Tomorrow, when these things are over, I will accompany you well," Yin Si put his arm around her and promised her, "If you want to go to the lotus pond to pick lotus flowers, I will take you there." ”

"The banquet is held there this night, where is there still a lotus pod to eat," Zhezhe didn't believe it, I'm afraid that the lotus leaves will be taken away, right?

"No, I'll take you to the market to buy it, okay?"

"It's all good, you accompany me, you can go anywhere!"

The two of them hugged each other and talked for a while, and here, Yin Si glanced at the jewelry box that was thrown in the corner of the dresser, "What is this?" ”

"This is my sister's-" The fiancΓ© gave it, and Zhezhe didn't dare to say the last few words, for fear of upsetting Yinsi.

"Delivered today?" Yin Si was a little puzzled, this seems to be new, right?

"Well, I'll give it back to her later," in fact, this was given by the eldest brother-in-law of the prince, Zhezhe was angry when he mentioned it, and he was dignified.

"Senior brother, how is the son of the world?" Zhezhe didn't understand, he obviously looked so honest.

"Who are you talking about?" Zhen Shizi, or the so-called Liang Zhecheng?

"Do men like to eat in the bowl and look at the pot?" Zhezhe thought about it, felt that the expression was wrong, and explained, "I mean, like Shizi, is there no problem with three wives and four concubines?" ”

"What do you think?" Thinking of his father and mother, he sighed, "Not only the emperor's family, but also the powerful and talented family, which one is not like this?" ”

Knowing that this is the case, Zhezhe only felt bitter in his heart, and originally thought that Shizi was a good person, even if he had three wives and four concubines, but he still liked a person and was more or less devoted to her, at least before he got married, he would think about it in his heart, who knows, he will be like this.

"Senior brother, do you want to do this in the future?" I don't know what will happen to them in the future, will Yin Si be like this?

"I won't, you believe me!" Yin Si was next to her ear, word by word, and said sonorously.
