In July and August, the lotus pavilion, the lotus leaf field, the wind blows the lotus leaf and the blue waves roll, and the pink and white lotus flowers are like a little girl who plays hide and seek and sways between the green leaves. Huashi County has a memorial arch left by the previous dynasty, commemorating a martyr's daughter, about a soft-hearted and kind water town residents can not bear such a cold and hard story, so in the local saying that the fishing lady was forced by the bully to ruin her family, and the place where she threw herself into the water grew full of lotus flowers, and the bully was naturally drowned in the rising lake water in his sleep. Such a story of retribution for good and evil is in line with the preferences of the vast number of working people.

According to word of mouth, this fisherwoman has become a lotus lady, and the most sheltered marriage is that the husband and wife are harmonious; Lotus Niangniang and Qiqiao Festival a birthday, the seventh day of the seventh month of July is the big day of Huashi County, the big girl and the little daughter-in-law are dressed up beautifully, lively and lively for a day dedicated to the festival of women.

Willow Zhi sat on the bow of the boat peeling water chestnuts and ate them, and a large handful of lotus flowers were piled up around her like a stack of straw. With a "bang", Li Chun came out of the water, and Liu Zhi carefully leaned out from the side of the boat: "Did you pick it up?" Forget it if you don't, I'll tell Jiaojiao well. He smiled, holding the boat in one hand, and with the other open, he saw a gilded comb shining in the palm of his hand.

"Oh, you're so good" Liu Zhi borrowed a small comb from Feng Jiaojiao, and when he was frolicking on the boat just now, he fell into the water and said to find her.

The willow branch stuffed a crisp and tender water chestnut into his mouth, and he was not in a hurry to come up, so he was alone in the boat and talking alone in the water. Willow Branch wore a pale red shirt, holding a large lotus leaf to shade the sun, her face was round, pink and tender, her bright eyes were full of smiles, she peeled the water chestnut, ate a piece herself, and stuffed a piece into his mouth.

Li Chun held his hands on the edge of the boat and talked to her with his face up. He is actually very good-looking, with slanted eyebrows and sharp edges and corners between the lines of his facial features; Especially a pair of eyes, his pupils are darker than ordinary people, and there is a touch of steel blue in the middle, like when the starry sky is floating. He was half out of the water, although the young man's body was more and too thin, but his good body was already visible, and his shoulders were strong. The sun shone on his brown skin, and the droplets of water slid down his back, as if he had been coated with a layer of oil, and he looked strong and strong.

This scene is like going back to 3,000 years ago, when the ancient gods had not abandoned the world, and the hunters who entered the mountains met mountain ghosts riding leopards from time to time; And the girl who picks lotus meets Hebo who drills out of the water.

Willow Branch put one hand into the water and gently flicked it, his wrist was white, but he didn't wear anything. She is very beautiful, Li Chun remembers that she brought two thin silver bracelets, which would jingle and ring; There is also a wide-brimmed one with a very beautiful arabesque pattern. Every time she wears new earrings, she tilts her head, proudly trying to find out that the pattern on her earlobes is different.

Li Chun hesitated for a moment, and finally asked him a question that he had been holding back for a long time: "Xiaozhi, I remember that you also have this kind of comb, did it fall off?" "With her personality, she doesn't like to borrow other people's things, and she doesn't wear much jewelry these days.

Willow Branch blushed, still a little aggrieved. On the birthday of the lotus lady, the woman will put on the best clothes, wear the most expensive jewelry, swim in the lake to see the lotus, in the morning she rummaged through the dressing box and was frustrated to find only a few old silk flowers, lame hairpins; My favorite red agate earrings are there, but one agate is missing, and the rematch is just an ordinary red stone.

All of his better jewelry was given to Yang Xiuxiu. Who wants her mother to only trust Yang Xiuxiu? Yang Xiuxiu took her out once, and picked out a piece of jewelry from the makeup.

I'm already a big girl, so I should dress up neatly, not to mention today's holiday. And now it's not as easy to meet him as before, every time we meet, I want to pick out beautiful clothes to wear, and I'm not satisfied with combing my beard, I always want to comb a complicated hairstyle.

"It's just lost, don't worry about it. That flower is beautiful, you go and pick it for me. Willow Branches changed the subject.

Li Chun let go of the boat and swam over to pick the lotus flower she fancied. The lotus bushes were dense and sultry, and there were countless gnats, Li Chun only parked the boat on the side for her to look at the flowers, and he picked which branch he liked for her to play.

Li Chun returned to the boat, put on his clothes, and the two played for a while and returned to shore. I saw half a boat of lotus flowers with white and white, red and blue, and a girl in a light red shirt stood up from the flowers and gently fell into the arms of the young man.

Li Chun put her down on the ground, straightened her hair, and then carried her bamboo basket and the two walked into Manxianglou together. Feng Jiaojiao squinted her eyes and snorted: "I want to break off friendship with you." ”

"Didn't you bring you a basket of water chestnuts," Liu Zhi smiled and put the bamboo basket on the table, "There are a lot of lotuses, I asked the fifth brother to go to the boat to help you get them." ”

As he was talking, a chubby glutinous rice ball rolled in, and the little guy behind him helped hold a large bouquet of lotus flowers. This is Feng Jiaojiao's fifth brother Feng Jinbao, who is close in age to them, and often played together when they were young, but Feng Xiaowu has been a ball since he was a child, and he is always the one who drags back.

"Big sister, this flower is so beautiful, thank you."

"Thank her, why don't you just move her mouth, and it's not her who does it. Hmph, "Feng Jiaojiao is still angry," I also want to sit in the boat, pointing to which one to pick; I'm also going to eat water chestnuts on the water, and while eating, I throw the shell on the water, which is much more refreshing than sitting here! ”

Willow ignored her, only looking at the snacks on the table, the two of them had been playing on the water for an hour, a little hungry. She picked up a piece of red and white glutinous rice cake and handed it to Li Chun, and said to him, "You pad it first, and I'll cook noodles for you to eat." ”

Feng Jiaojiao shouted: "I want a bowl too!" Or I won't forgive you! Speaking of playing together, you left me a few meanings. I've been pestered by Yang Xiuxiu for a day today! ”

Yang Xiuxiu, who was walking in the door, was holding the wicker, and her face turned red when she heard this. Today, on the birthday of the lotus lady, everyone got together to play, Liu Zhi and Li Chun went to pick lotus flowers on a boat alone, this kind of unrighteous behavior made Feng Jiaojiao angry and rushed to the crown, but Yang Xiuxiu didn't think so.

Yang Xiuxiu This is the first time to enter Manxiang Building. On the second floor, there is a room dedicated to Feng Jiaojiao's hospitality, the table is full of dim sum fruits, you can see the river embankment willows like smoke, and the Qingshui River is as blue as a belt. How pleasant it is to sit here and eat snacks and knock melon seeds, while looking at the scenery and chatting, Yang Xiuxiu doesn't think it's interesting to sit in the little broken boat and swing in the river. After eating so many rare snacks and sitting in such a good position, this is really the happiest lotus girl's birthday in my life.

Liu Zhi went to the kitchen, Feng Jinbao was peeling the water chestnut, although he was fat but his fingers were nimble, a small silver knife neatly cut the shell, the sweet and juicy water chestnut was contained in a lotus leaf cup, tender and white, very good-looking. Feng Jiaojiao sighed while eating, and fed a piece of wicker with a silver skewer from time to time, and the wicker was also said to be delicious.
