It has only been a few days since the beginning of spring, and the wind blowing on the face is not so cold, but somewhat soft and warm, and the willow branches on the side of the stream are also dancing briskly.

It's really a renewal, and everything is renewed, no wonder at this time, people's mood is always full of anticipation and joy.

"Do you two eat fried beans?" Wen Jin took a small bamboo basket and asked.

"Eat." Wen Han turned his head and replied.

Such a big boy was hungry very quickly, and it had been an hour since breakfast, and Wen Jin guessed that they should want to eat.

Stir-fried beans are a kind of sticky yellow rice milling, adding sugar and steaming into soft dough, waiting to cool down, then rolling into thin slices, dicing and drying, and then fried with oil, it tastes sweet and fragrant, in this era when there are no snacks, it is a kind of delicious snack made at home.

Wen Jin's small basket is divided into four compartments in the middle, with not only fried beans, but also walnut kernels, fried steamed beans and dried kiwi fruit.

"Hey, how is this fried bean better than before." Wen Han was curious.

"Hehe, I added some peach juice."

Shen Jun pointed to the green discs: "This is the kiwi you said?" ”

"Well, you taste it." Wen Jin replied.

Shen Jun tasted the four kinds one by one, and then concentrated on eating dried kiwifruit, and occasionally ate others. The spicy, salty and fragrant fried steamed beans, he rarely moved, but Wen Han liked this the most, but after eating it for a while, he became thirsty, stopped the ox cart, and went to the back cart to ask for water to drink.

Webster simply asked him to bring another stone bun to eat.

Stone bun is also a local snack, often prepared for pregnant women, good wheat noodles, add water, eggs, oil, salt, pepper leaves and into a dough, roll into a cake, buried in the hot pebbles to bake, taste salty, fragrant and crispy, very delicious.

Wei Chenglan's ox cart followed, let's talk, Wen Han might be able to hear it, Shen Jun didn't dare to make a mistake, he could only look at Wen Jin, hoping to convey his feelings with his eyes, Wen Jin had to lower his head, not daring to say or move. After posing in this position for a long time, her whole body was sore, and she subconsciously stretched her waist, but she met Wen Han's eyes.

She had also talked about her boyfriend in her previous life, but she had never seen Shen Jun with such eyes, full of enthusiasm and hope, and with helplessness and pain, Wen Jin almost subconsciously comforted him, his hand was stretched out, only to wake up suddenly, and quickly retracted, but was quickly grabbed by Shen Jun in his hand, just when the ox cart flickered, he took the opportunity to lean into Wen Jin's ear: "I am sincere, you have to believe me." ”

Wen Jin didn't dare to move too much, he couldn't break free, he couldn't help but be anxious, and said in a low voice with a straight face: "I didn't say you were fake, but what is this?" ”

When Shen Jun saw her speak, he couldn't help grinning, let go of his hand, and said in a low voice: "As long as you agree, I will definitely marry you and let you be my wife." ”

"Humph!" Wen Jin was noncommittal.

"I will never let that old witch dominate my life, in this life, I will identify you."

Wen Jin's mind was very confused, and he didn't know what to do, Wen Han wanted to eat dried kiwi again, he turned his head, Shen Jun quickly sat upright, and let go of Wen Jin.

"Brother, shall I drive the car for you?"

"No, you don't."

Wen Jin climbed in front of the car and sat in the passenger seat beside Wen Han, Shen Jun was so angry that he stared at the back, and it was easy to wait until Wen Han wanted to drink water again, he quickly took the whip and sat in a row with Wen Jin, but Wen Jin covered his mouth and yawned: "Heh——, I'm so sleepy in the sun." ”

"Then sit down and take a nap." Wen Han was really kind to his "younger brother" and immediately proposed.

Wen Jin sat back in the carriage, ignored Shen Jun's fierce stare at him, smiled proudly, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

"Heh-" Shen Jun also yawned, and Wen Han immediately saw it: "You can sleep for a while, you studied too hard a few days ago." ”

Shen Jun sat beside Wen Jin, sitting side by side with her, took the opportunity to grab her hand, and counted them one by one with his fingers, Wen Jin glared angrily, but he hooked the corners of his mouth, looking proud to see how you escaped.

"Jin'er, help Shen Jun press his temples, he has a headache these days." Unexpectedly, Wen Han fell into the well, and gave Wen Jin a problem, which made Wen Jin depressed, and as soon as she remembered to sit on the wheel, she heard Shen Jun say in a low voice: "You don't want to make everyone know, right?" ”

This threat was very powerful, Wen Jin immediately became honest, and let Shen Jun grab her hand and touch and pinch it, and she was eaten up with tofu.

"You like me, why do you want to run away?" While people were not paying attention, Shen Jun asked Wen Jin in a low voice.

"How can I—"

"Don't lie to me, if you don't like it, you will be slapped in the face, this is not a soft-hearted thing, you are not an assertive person."

"I'm saving face for my brother."

As soon as Wen Jin spoke, he saw Shen Jun's face change suddenly, and he was so sad that he couldn't help but bow his head in disdain, and silently recited in his heart: "I have no choice but to forget about me in a few days." ”

Shen Jun gently rubbed Wen Jin's hand, and after a while, said leisurely: "You still like me, otherwise, I will never be allowed to touch you." ”

As soon as Wen Jin wanted to refute, Shen Jun rushed to say: "It's disgusting to be touched by someone you don't like. ”

Shen Jun is a person from the past, thinking that when he was in the capital, as soon as those girls showed up, let alone touching him, they were looking to talk to him, which made him upset, and some of them, if they didn't mean that to him, they wouldn't be annoying.

Wen Jin opened his mouth and stammered.

Wen Han ate and drank stupidly along the way, and didn't see anything wrong at all, they stopped and went, at the beginning of Shen Shi, when they arrived in Pingling, Wei Chenglan had come to Fucheng recently, and found a farmhouse outside the city familiarly.

During the temple fair, the inns in the city were full, and the farmers on the edge of the city packed up their houses and opened them to the public. In such a family, the hostess is very clever and capable, and the house is not very tall and spacious, but it is better to have clean bedding and delicious food. Several people were very satisfied, pulled the ox cart into the yard, the male owner helped feed the cattle, they ate dinner, washed and rested, there was nothing to say all night, the next morning, Wen Jin estimated that it was about four o'clock, they got up early, ate the porridge steamed bun prepared by the hostess with side dishes, and went to the direction of Wenwang Temple.

The temple was built on a hill, and a high platform was erected on the east side of the temple, and since the day before, there have been several blacksmiths who have been making flowers here. At night, it starts when it gets dark, it ends at midnight, it starts at dawn, it ends at dawn, it is a kind of ancient ceremonial flower, the blacksmith puts the smashed pig iron into the crucible and buries it in the fire, the person pulls the bellows to blow the wind, after the iron is melted into molten iron, the flower beater holds the wooden plank, the blacksmith scoops out the molten iron from the crucible with a crucible, and pours it into the recess at the other end of the wooden board with wet saw foam or wet sand, and the flower beater quickly stays away from the iron-making furnace, and first throws the molten iron upwards for twenty or thirty centimeters. In the fall of the molten iron, the molten iron is suddenly slammed with a wooden board (similar to the action of a baseball player hitting the ball), and the molten iron is scattered, and suddenly, the iron flower is brilliant, hanging upside down from a high place like a volcanic eruption, and when the sparks are sparse, it is like a fire tree and silver flower, the scene is very spectacular.

As soon as Wen Jin and his entourage turned to this road, they saw the scene full of sparks in front of them, and from a distance, they were not as colorful as the ceremonial flowers in later generations, but without advanced science and technology, it was good enough to have this scene.

As they climbed the stairs, they gradually approached, and in the shadows, they could see the crowd of people, who had arrived earlier than them, and they could not help but let out a cry of surprise and amazement in the waves of color.

A few people first stood in the outermost layer of the crowd, and as the audience increased, they were soon surrounded by the crowd, Wei Chenglan was afraid of being separated for a while, and told everyone: "After watching the flowers, we will wait under the largest toon tree." ”

"Okay."

Shen Jun smiled proudly at Wen Jin, quietly took her hand, and when someone around him was crowded, he took the opportunity to squeeze forward with Wen Jin.

Wen Jin had no choice but to let him do it, look up by himself, and enjoy the beautiful scenery that rose wave after wave.

"I didn't expect that our poor countryside and remote region could have such a beautiful scenery of fire trees and silver flowers that never sleep." Shen Jun held Wen Jin's arm and sighed in a low voice, "It's no less than the ceremonial flowers on the Lantern Festival night in the capital." ”。

The two of them shuttled through the crowd, they had practiced martial arts, and the strength and ingenuity of their actions were greatly improved, although it could not be said that it was like entering a no-man's land, but they walked smoothly, but it was not a problem, it didn't take much effort, Wen Jin felt that the eyes suddenly opened up, a man's arm-thick bamboo pole blocked the way, and further, it would be because of the splashing of iron flowers, not safe enough, the officials of Pingling Mansion had already ordered Minzhuang to fence off this land.

There were a lot of people, Shen Jun was sure that he and Wen Jin would never be seen, so he boldly took Wen Jin's hand and the other arm, and quietly wrapped around Wen Jin's waist.

Wen Jin knew that he couldn't take it off, and his heart was somewhat moved by Shen Jun, so he let him do it, just trying to put all his mind on watching the flowers, and after a while, he was really deeply attracted, completely forgetful, and watched it with great interest.

The red fire reflects the young blacksmith's toned figure, especially the master who plays the flowers, holding the planks with both hands, turning sideways, throwing flowers, and hitting in one go, which is really comparable to those professional players in the American Professional League Baseball.

In the previous life, Wen Jin was just a small clerk, and he could only watch the broadcast on TV, but this time, it was really real, hehe, it was really enjoyable.

Who has ever seen a baseball game combined with dazzling fireworks? Wen Jin was fascinated and couldn't help but marvel.

Shen Jun has been looking at Wen Jin happily, his heart has never been so peaceful and peaceful, although the cheers around him resounded in the sky, and people crowded one after another, he still felt that in this world, it seemed that there were only him and Wen Jin, the two of them holding hands, and they were happy with each other......

You stand on the bridge and look at the view, and the people watching the view are watching you from upstairs. The bright moon decorates your windows, and you decorate other people's dreams......

Who would have thought that such a quiet and soft poetic and picturesque feeling could happen at a small town temple fair where thousands of people gathered.

Seeing that an hour is about to pass in a flash, the eastern sky has already revealed the white of the fish's belly, and the master who plays flowers is about to stop, Shen Jun pulled Wen Jin's hand a little anxiously: "I really like you, do you like me a little?" ”

Wen Jin turned his head and said angrily: "Didn't you say that I like you, and what are you asking?" ”

"I want to hear you say it yourself."

"Is it useful to say nothing? No matter how determined you are, can you really make your own decisions about your marriage? Even if I can call the shots, I marry into your family as I wish, can you not let me deal with your stepmother? Can you stop me from dealing with the ladies in your circle? If not, don't hurt me. ”

Shen Jun suddenly grabbed Wen Jin's hand and muttered for a long time: "I can, I will do my best to make you live well, I want to make you the happiest woman!" ”

Wen Jin could hear the seriousness in his voice, and could see the solemnity in his eyes, to be honest, it was impossible not to be moved, besides, Shen Jun's cleverness and humor had already taken root in her heart, and at this moment, it was so difficult to say no.

"I will definitely make you happy, Wen Jin, wait for me!" This sentence is not just a promise, Shen Jun seems to have made a lot of determination, and there is a look of perseverance on his face that Wen Jin can't understand.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are the Bai family's blacksmith shop in Baifang Town, and we are here today." When the flower was over, the blacksmith master clasped his fists at the black-pressed audience and said goodbye loudly.

Wen Jin was shocked and broke free of Shen Jun's hand, she didn't believe Shen Jun's determination, but it was too difficult for him to do it, in this feudal society where marriage completely depended on the words of the matchmaker of his parents, the more lovers who were happy with each other, the more vulnerable they were.

"It's over, let's go."

"You don't believe me?" Shen Jun's voice revealed sadness, and even some despair, which made Wen Jin really unbearable, but if he couldn't bear it at the moment, it would bring him more harm, Wen Jin gritted his teeth and said:

"I believe what you say, but it's too hard to get it done, and I don't want to embarrass you."

"I'm not embarrassed......"

Wen Jin's calm eyes made Shen Jun really unable to continue, his lips squirmed for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "You have to believe me, no matter how difficult it is, I will do it, if it is for myself, I don't dare to go up to the difficulty, my life will be in vain." ”

Wen Jin really couldn't hold on, she just left everything to time to test.

Shen Jun understood Wen Jin's meaning and could understand her concerns, so he no longer persecuted, but led her to the toon tree.

Wen Han and Wei Shi were waiting under the tree, but Qian Xiancheng and Wei Chenglan were nowhere to be seen, it turned out that there was a flow of people squeezing forward just now, and the four of them also dispersed, Wen Jin let out a long breath, but Shen Jun proposed: "You and your aunt are here, Wen Han, let's go find our uncle." ”

Wen Jin admired his composure, and he was able to control his emotions so quickly.

In order not to be noticed by Wei's, Wen Jin paid attention to the situation of the temple fair, and even did not let go of the conversations of people who passed by, and soon his mind was full of business experience, and Shen Jun's matter was temporarily suppressed.

Several small businessmen in the neighborhood were arguing, and their voices were getting louder and louder: "Baifang blacksmith shop is better than Chengjiazhuang!" ”

"How can there be, Master Cheng of Chengjiazhuang is sick this year, so they didn't come to play flowers, the people in Baifang are just taller among the short, and in a few days Master Cheng is in good health, they still have to obediently shrink their heads?" It seems that it is a few small shopkeepers who run shops, and they may place orders together like a blacksmith shop for cheapness, and at this time, they are arguing over who to process.

It turned out that the three days and six rounds of playing flowers were operated by the most famous masters selected from the whole Pingling Mansion, and each master was only responsible for one time, and he was able to go to the blacksmith shop of Wenwang Temple, and the business was not ordinarily prosperous, and many shops sold kitchen knives, shovels, sickles, and axes were forged by these blacksmith shops.

Wen Jin suddenly discovered that the ancients also had a sense of advertising.

Wen Jin was still thinking nonsense, Wen Han and Shen Jun squeezed back first, and then, Qian Xiancheng and Wei Chenglan also squeezed over.

On the hillside, the hawkers shouted vigorously, and some of the people who moved the stove to sell rice were desperately pulling up the bellows, making a "pop" sound, mixed with a strong fragrance, attracting customers.

"Sister, are you hungry? Shall we have something to eat? Wei Chenglan proposed.

"Okay!" Wei Shi smiled at her younger brother, in fact, she was already hungry, and her stomach was rumbling just now, lest Wen Jin would hear it. In fact, there are so many people here that Wen Jin can't hear it.

Wen Han and Shen Jun took the lead in squeezing into the crowd again, and the four of them followed closely and came to a stall selling chicken soup dumplings, where several people gathered around the small dining table and ate a bowl of hot food.

Maybe they were hungry, and a few people praised while eating, thinking that this buckwheat dumpling was very delicious. The food at the temple fair is new, there are many small soups in the bowl, and they can't eat enough at all, so they went to eat the dough again. It is to boil it thickly with corn grits, condense into a ball after cooling, then cut it into pieces, put on the blanched amaranth, and then boil the soup with peppercorns, spices and other seasonings, pour it hot several times, heat the dough, and then sprinkle the green onion and coriander, and a few drops of sesame oil. This is the one that Wen Jin likes to eat most of the meals made of corn coarse grains, and several people have a bowl for each person, so they feel that they are not hungry and panicked.

From the top of the mountain down, they walked all the way to eat, and when they were full, they also reached the foot of the mountain, and Wen Han finally bought five packets of fried chestnuts with sugar, and several people took them, talking and walking at the same time.

If it were put on weekdays, people of the age of Qian Xiancheng would definitely not be able to do such an action, but at today's temple fair, even if the old man in his fifties and sixties is like a child, their hearts can't help but be a little younger, just like their sons and nephews, they eat while walking with snacks, and sometimes they see something, and they are like a child, smiling with crooked eyebrows.

The second liveliness of the temple fair began, not only visual, but also aural, sonorous gongs and drums, melodious and cheerful suona, wearing red clothes, holding colored lanterns in their hands, flying up and down, making various movements of the long dragon, attracted everyone's attention. After the colorful long dragon, it is the crowd of people who are singing and dancing on stilts, hugging the high floats, on the floats, there is a handsome middle-aged uncle with beautiful hair, on the four sides of the float, there are several beautiful girls in colorful clothes, behind them, there are bamboo poles to penetrate the clothes, and the body is tied together, therefore, these people, can make various actions such as flying into the sky and entering the ground.
