Chapter 40 Shangyuan Festival Tour Spring
March 3, Shangsi Festival. As the first festival in March, it is especially popular with the people here, especially young men and women who have not yet been married.
Entering March is equivalent to entering spring, and the ancients will hold sacrifices at the water's edge every spring, meaning washing and removing dirt and eliminating ominousness; At the same time, there will also be a drinking feast by the water, and the spring will go out.
Later, after the evolution of various dynasties and generations, the tradition of Shangsi Festival sacrifices slowly disappeared, leaving only the spring waterside drinking feast and spring outing, and only young men and women participated.
Let's meet a few friends, swim in the mountains together, see the water, enjoy the spring light, and eat near the water. In ancient times, women rarely went out, but on days like the Shangsi Festival, they could go out openly; You can also go on a date with 'love brother' and 'love sister' or something on this day. By the way, let those men and women who are not married to each other be strong; If you look at the right eye, the man will go to the woman's house to propose marriage. Slowly, the Shangsi Festival was celebrated as 'Valentine's Day' by young men and women.
In the early morning, Youran has been busy in the kitchen for a long time.
I made an appointment with Cheng Hanrui to celebrate the festival together, and leisurely promised her to make food for everyone on this day, of course, fruit snacks and other things were also prepared by her.
"Evening clouds, evening snow, what do you want to eat? Ribs, or chicken cutlets? While frying the chicken steak, he asked the two girls who helped wash the vegetables.
"Miss, the slave wants chicken cutlets." Wanyun turned her head and smiled leisurely, she had been smelling the chicken cutlet next to her for a long time, it was called a fragrant!
"Miss, the slave wants pork ribs." Wanxue said gently.
"Okay, wait a minute, you guys cut all the vegetables. My chicken steak will be ready in no time! Leisurely and earnestly fried the chicken cutlets, and nodded after hearing what they said they wanted.
"Yes—" Hearing the leisurely command, Wanyun Wanxue quickened the speed of his hand.
Two kinds of bento boxes were prepared leisurely, one was braised pork belly pork rib rice, and the other was fried chicken steak rice. Packed in a wooden four-way box, it is served with appetizing and greasy side dishes; It's a blessing to eat that at lunch!
"You'er, are you ready? Let's go out in a minute......" After Qin Yuran was ready, he came to the kitchen to urge leisurely.
"Uh-huh, ready! I'll go back right away, change my clothes and go. After loading the last lunch, he turned around and smiled at his brother.
"I see." Qin Haoran nodded, took a few steps closer, and looked at the table full of bentos, there were thirteen servings; A variety of sweets and fruits are also available.
"Brother called Wan Lei and the three of them in, help Wan Yun and them! I went back to change my clothes! Gather at the door...... "After saying it leisurely, he ran out.
Half an hour later, on the official road leading to the northern suburbs of Nancang County; Sitting leisurely in the swaying carriage, a little drowsy. She woke up too early today, and she had been busy all morning, and now that she could finally rest, her sleepiness came up.
In a short time, she went from yawning to sleeping soundly. Wanyun draped a thin blanket over Youran, then sat back by the car door, leaned against Wanxue and closed his eyes to rest.
"You'er, wake up—" Youran was asleep soundly when her shoulders were gently shaken, and her brother's gentle whispering voice was heard in her ears.
"Hmm...... Brother~" opened his eyes in a daze, and what caught his eye was Qin Yanran's good-looking face.
Qin Yanran rubbed her head gently, and whispered with the corners of her lips slightly hooked: "You'er, wake up, let's get to the place."
"Arrived?" Blinked leisurely and looked left and right with a pair of ignorant eyes, stunned for a moment, remembering that she was now going out on an outing in a carriage!
"Well, we're here." Qin Xianran saw the leisurely and cute appearance, and the problem of the sister's control suddenly attacked, and the soft voice could drip water, "Does You'er still want to sleep?" They haven't arrived yet, you can lie down for a while, and then when they arrive, your brother will call you again. ”
Shook his head leisurely, with these coquettish meanings in his tone, and said, "I'm not too sleepy after resting for a while, let's get up!" After a while, Sister Hanrui came and made fun of me. ”
"Who dares to make fun of you?! Brother beat him! Qin Yanran raised his fist as he spoke.
"......" shook the corners of her mouth leisurely, could she hit her brother? Who gives him the confidence to beat someone else?! It's okay not to get beaten!
It's not that she looks down on Qin Yanran, but that he has been an elegant scholar since he was born, and of course, he also has such an external and internal appearance. Who can imagine that a weak scholar, a gentle and elegant weak scholar, will one day roll up his sleeves and fight like a gangster?
Oh~ That picture is so beautiful, she can't bear to look at it directly! ╮(︶﹏︶)╭
"Brother, shall we go down and wait for them? I guess it's almost there, right? Leisurely quickly opened the topic.
"Well, it should be soon. Then go down! With that, he got out of the carriage and stood aside to help her out of the carriage.
After getting off the bus leisurely, I saw that there were many large and small carriages and horses of all kinds parked in this place, so that I could see how many people can be here today.
"Sister You'er—" At this time, Cheng Hanrui's call came from not far away.
Turning her head to look at the source of the voice, she saw her sitting in her carriage, poking her head out of the window of the carriage and waving at her.
He smiled leisurely and shook his hand at her, all of which were greetings.
The carriage was followed by several horses, and the people on the horses were Shang Moqi and others. They all live in Nancang County, and they all live on one piece, so they hit it off and decided to go together.
The carriage was parked, and Cheng Hanrui was helped off the carriage by the personal maid. Ran over and took a leisurely hand, and said happily: "You came really early, have you been waiting for a long time?"
"No, we've just arrived." He replied with a leisurely smile.
"Haha...... I didn't expect it to be a step later than you, and we discussed waiting for you early! Shang Moqi and a few people also walked over, and Bai Bin, who had a sunny personality, patted Qin Haoran's shoulder and said with a laugh.
Shang Moqi walked at the end, and didn't rush over in time to hug Qin Haoran, but Bai Bin and the others surrounded Qin Haoran, and several people were smiling and greeting.
Shang Moqi couldn't squeeze in, pursed his lips slightly, looked like a wronged little daughter-in-law, and said, "Hey-you're enough!" I haven't said hello yet! Who is the best friend of the indulgent people! ”
"We are all ah......" Bai Bin said amusedly.
Shang Moqi's expression was sad and indignant, and he thought he was vicious and said, "Enough! I'm the first best friend of the Ransom, he's mine, and none of you can snatch it away! ”
Qin Ranran(●.●):"......"
Leisurely (⊙o⊙): "......"
Bai Bin et al. (→_→): "......"
“…… Ahem, Mo Qi, this sentence can't be used like this. Cheng Hanyu coughed lightly and said with some embarrassment.
If they didn't know that Shang Moqi was this character, they would definitely think that he had a dragon yang fetish! Several people rolled their eyes at him and walked forward speechlessly.
Shang Moqi saw that they were no longer surrounding Qin Yan, so he immediately took a step forward and grabbed his arm and started the chatter mode: "Yan Yan!" It's your first time participating in the spring outing of the Shangsi Festival, right? I'll tell you...... Let's ......."
You Ran and Cheng Hanrui glanced at each other funny, they all shook their heads silently, followed behind a few big men, and walked towards a hillside not far away.
In the northern suburbs of Nancang County, there is a low hillside, and there is a small forest on the hillside, and there is a lake in the forest. Every year during the Kamitsu Festival, it will be very lively. People from the towns and villages near Nancang County will choose to come here to enjoy the spring scenery.
The group slowly wandered through the woods, looking at all kinds of green trees and admiring the grass that had turned green.
In the morning, the sun gradually brightens, walking in the quiet and quiet grove, the sunlight shines through the thin gaps between the leaves, and it is interesting to see if it is bright and dark for a while.
Close your eyes and take a deep breath, filled with the scent of nature. Open your eyes and watch the sunlight penetrate the slits of conspicuous light, watch the trees draw new branches and sprouts, watch the small flowers and grasses burrow out of the soil and grow vigorously, and watch the small animals run happily in the woods...... Seeing this, I suddenly remembered a sentence I had heard somewhere: When you really come into contact with nature, you will find that the world is so big, and human beings are so small.
"You'er, shall we go over there? It's time to the lake. Cheng Hanrui pointed to the lake not far ahead, and turned her head to look leisurely.
"Hmm." Nodding, the two walked over.
Qin Yanran and the others had already arrived there, chose a flat grass, and were instructing his subordinates to spread a large piece of woolen blanket there.
And around the lake, there are many people like them, who are arranging their own resting places.
It's like a place for leisure and entertainment, some people are watching the scenery, some people are getting together in groups of three to play games, and of course, some people are greeting and greeting each other.
"What are we going to do?" Leisurely asked a few people on the side.
"I've brought the chessboard, who wants to play a game with me?" An Yulan, who was born in a scholarly family, opened his mouth and said.
"I'll ...... I lost to you last time, and I have to win back today! Fu Chengxuan was gearing up, looking like he was going to do a big job.
"You two are playing chess, what are we going to do?" Shang Moqi asked with wide eyes.
"Why don't I teach you how to play the landlord?" Leisurely's eyes lit up and he asked happily.
"Huh? What to play? When Shang Moqi heard that there was something playing, he immediately chased after him and asked leisurely.
"Fight the landlord, I'll teach you later." With a leisurely smile, he instructed Wanyun on the side: "Wanyun, you go and bring the cards I made two days ago."
"Yes, miss." Wanyun nodded excitedly and ran to the place where the carriage was parked.
That deck of cards is done when you have nothing to do, no way, this ancient life is too monotonous, always have some fun! So leisurely made cards and taught Wanyun and Wanxue to play landlords; As soon as they were bored, the three masters and servants nested in the house to fight the landlord, and they had something to do to pass the time.
An Yulan and Fu Chengxuan went to the side to play chess, and the rest of the people sat on the grass covered with wool blankets and listened to the rules of the game of fighting the landlord.
They are all smart people, and they will basically know how to tell it leisurely; After two attempts, I mastered it all.
So Qin Yanran, Bai Bin, and Gao Yang did it together, taking turns to "call the landlord and rob the landlord". And the rest of the leisurely people are watching the battle from the sidelines!
They were playing happily, and the people in the vicinity were attracted by them, and slowly they all gathered around and watched them play.
"Oops! Bai Bin, why are you so stupid? Why did you blow it up first? If there are cards bigger than you in the back, it's up to you to manage ......" Shang Moqi sat in the middle behind Bai Bin and Qin Haoran, so that he could see the cards on both sides. After watching Bai Bin play his cards, the ghost shouted.
"Don't keep yelling at me and disturbing my mind...... Three two-......" Bai Bin paid attention to the cards played by others, and at the same time reprimanded Shang Moqi who was screaming in his ear.
"Hey~ This looks so funny!" Someone in the crowd of onlookers whispered to the people around him.
"Yes, yes......" the man replied with a nod.
Leisurely watching them play with great interest, looking at the hour, it was time for lunch, so he got up and took Wanyun and Wanxue back to the place where they had parked their carriage and got lunch.
When they were halfway there, they suddenly didn't hear the footsteps of Wanyun and Wanxue, and turned around leisurely to see what they were doing.
"Hmm~" The moment I turned around, my neck hurt, my eyes went dark, and I didn't know anything.
