Chapter (6) Willow Moon Festival

Xiao Jiu yawned boredly on the table, and stood quietly behind the cabinet for a long time fiddling with the abacus, listening to the sound of the abacus, Xiao Jiu was drowsy, supporting his face with his side hands, and dozed off. With a slight breathing sound, Forget Jiu shook his head with a smile, and listened to the footsteps of another person walking into the wine shop, that is, Tao Hong, raised his index finger to her mouth at her, signaled her to be quiet, and let Xiao Jiu fall asleep.

Tao Hong squinted and opened his mouth slightly, and Xiao Jiu, who was about to leave Ha Lazi, looked disgusted, I really didn't understand why Brother Wangjiu was so accommodating to this useless young master, and still mentioned the mahogany food box, Tao Hong whispered softly, "Brother Wangjiu, I changed some flavors for you this time." His eyes were full of longing, faintly flowing with some bright light, his hands subconsciously clenched the food box, his face was a little bright, and he looked at him quietly for a long time, for fear of disturbing this picturesque person.

Forget Jiu still smiled so indifferently, took the food box, took out the coarse grain wine that had been prepared from the cabinet, and teased, "You have also reached the age this year, and the girls in the town have all gone to prepare, aren't you in a hurry?" ”

Tao Hong stomped lightly, and said coquettishly, "Brother Forgetjiu, why are you as bad as my father, and you are also joking with me." Tao Hong said this, her heartbeat gradually accelerated, and her hands were nervous with a thin layer of sweat, the other girls in the town were gentle and considerate, small jasper, and she grew up with her father since she was a child, she was already a man, she didn't think about letting the sons of which family look at her, what she liked, the first thing she liked was Brother Forget Jiu.

The catkins in the town are blown by the wind, just like snow, white, soft and indissolent catkins are different from the snow, with a beautiful self, if it falls on the hair of a girl, it adds a bit of beauty and liveliness to the girl.

And at such a time, Qinghe Town, every year will hold a festival exclusive to young men and women, the "Willow Moon" Festival, also known as the "Staying Moon" Festival, to keep the red line left by the old moon and complete a good marriage.

Every "willow moon" festival, the girls who have reached the age will spend several days, or even half a month, to dress up, hoping to meet their favorite object, regardless of men and women, when they meet their favorite object, they will use their willow branches to weave items, to each other.

If you like each other, you will go to the Yuelao Temple to pray for blessings, and the marriage card you will get will be threaded with red thread, and thrown on the old tree in the Yuelao Temple, and thrown on the tree, and there will be a saying that the Yuelao blesses this marriage.

Forget Jiu looked at Tao Hong with a smile, Tao Hong pursed her lips, the tips of her ears were red, and finally quickly grabbed the wine jug and ran out shyly, as soon as Tao Hong left, the smile on the corner of Forget Jiu's mouth dissipated, "Are you still sleeping?" ”

It turned out to be Xiao Jiu, who was still dozing just now, I don't know when he opened his eyes, squinted slightly, and peeked very unceremoniously, Xiao Jiu stretched his waist when he heard this, but he didn't pretend to be garlic anymore, he walked to the counter and sneered, and said, "You like to hang other people's little girls' appetite so much?" It sounded a bit like a veteran of the flowers.

Forget Jiu opened the food box, Xiao Jiu's eyes were immediately shifted, and Forget Jiu took out a piece of pastry and asked, "Do you want to eat it?" ”

Xiao Jiu nodded very happily, and Wangjiu pushed the food box towards Xiao Jiu, and said softly, "Then shut your mouth." ”

Xiao Jiu made a move to sew his mouth according to his words, and he didn't care if he saw it for a long time, he took it aside, sat down and ate it, this pastry is not bad compared to the one in the house, it is the so-called soft hands and short mouths, and he often gives him delicious food for a long time, Xiao Jiu is embarrassed to make a fuss, of course, as for the task, he thinks of another way, put it aside for the time being, and look for an opportunity.

Xiao Jiu's eyes narrowed with satisfaction, his mouth was bulging, and he looked comfortable, he hadn't practiced swords for a long time, he felt that there was meat on his stomach, and he began to praise and sigh for his father, this is so difficult to attack for a long time, sure enough, his father still trusts him very much, such a difficult task should be handed over to him.

Forget Jiu listened to Xiao Jiu's movement, the smile on the corner of his mouth reappeared, different from the smile just now, Forget Jiu's smile this time always had a short-lived illusion, and even the godless eyes, as if there was a little glimmer of light, which made people unconsciously breathe for a while, stopped, and quietly watched such a beautiful moment.

Such a beautiful smile appeared, but it was a bit of a waste to meet a young man who didn't appreciate it and only buried his head in hard work, and he didn't care about it for a long time, staring at Xiao Jiu's direction with a lingering gaze, staring at the bright and warm little candlelight.

The streets were deserted for a few days, and then they became lively, with outsiders coming and going, and the doors were like a market.

Xiao Jiu and Forget Jiu worked hard for a day, and didn't stop until evening, Xiao Jiu tilted his head and slumped on the table, muttering, "No, I'm really not good, I'm tired, I'm really tired, don't take such a toss." ”

The sound of footsteps on the stairs came, Xiao Jiu turned his head, looked at the person who slowly walked down from the upper floor, changed out of the coarse cloth clothes that worked lightly on weekdays, the black hair like a waterfall was simply tied with a hairband, and the light gray clothes with some dark lines did not look old-fashioned, but the indescribable fairy spirit was like an old wine that had been brewed for many years, thick and mellow, at this moment, it was all shown.

Forget Jiu smiled lightly as always, but couldn't help but show a little alienation, as if he was in two worlds, Xiao Jiu, who was looking at it, suddenly palpitated for a moment, from that carved face, Xiao Jiu's gaze gradually stayed on Forget Jiu's shallow and pale lips.

Xiao Jiu almost couldn't take his eyes off, just looked at the owner of the lips, and slowly came to him, Zhang Zhanghe seemed to say something, Xiao Jiu didn't hear clearly, at this moment, there was only one thought in his mind, such pale lips, it seemed to look delicious.

After forgetting for a long time, he didn't hear Xiao Jiu's answer, stretched out his hand, groped, stroked Xiao Jiu's crimson face, and asked, "Face, it's so hot, but what's uncomfortable?" ”

When Xiao Jiu heard this, he suddenly came back to his senses, patted away Wangjiu's hand, Wangjiu's hand immediately turned red, Xiao Jiu hurriedly retreated a few steps, and sat on the ground with a "bang", Wangjiu took half a step forward, wanting to help Xiao Jiu up, but heard Xiao Jiu exclaim, "Don't touch me!" ”

Just one sound, it made Forget Jiu stunned in place, he restrained his smile, was slapped by Xiao Jiu's hand, the hot pain came, Forget Jiu hid that hand in his sleeve, clenched it, and put it behind his back, the pain in his left chest like a pinprick came, making his already pale lips a little lighter, Forget Jiu pursed his lips tightly, pretending to be nothing, and said, "You should also hurry up and change your clothes!" Tonight, a grand ceremony was held in Qinghe Town, which was very lively, and it would be a pity to miss it. ”

No matter how sluggish Xiao Jiu was, he felt that something was wrong, so he walked past Wangjiu without saying a word, and hurriedly went upstairs to change his clothes.

Listening to the hurried footsteps behind him, he smiled bitterly, was he too extravagant......

Xiao Jiu slapped his face a few times in the room, took a few deep breaths, and his whole body was hot, no, no, he couldn't be bewitched by the old fox who had forgotten for a long time, and felt the temperature on his face drop a little, Xiao Jiu changed his clothes and walked out of the door.

Downstairs again, a woman in a baby pink dress, smiling smartly, looking forward to the brilliance, pulling the sleeves of the long-forgotten clothes, the two of them smiled and smiled, looking like a good match.

The woman was Tao Hong after dressing up quietly, changing into bright clothes, delicate and moving, with light makeup on her face, which was even more charming, such Tao Hong was naturally much more beautiful than usual, but Xiao Jiu always felt uncomfortable when she looked at it.

Xiao Jiu said sarcastically coldly, "Yo, you girl is dressed up so gorgeously, are you trying to seduce the son-in-law of which family?" ”

Tao Hong didn't bother to give him a look, but he was not to be outdone, "I can still seduce people, what about you?" You know how to eat all day long, who will like you! Isn't it, Brother Forgethisa? ”

Xiao Jiu's gaze, along with the question that Tao Hong threw to Wangjiu, followed, and unconsciously glanced at the pale color a few more times, he also wanted to hear Wangjiu's answer, although he didn't know what he wanted to hear Wangjiu's answer.

Forget for a long time but don't say a word, Tao Hong took the lunch for a long time to acquiesce, raised his chin at Xiao Jiuwei triumphantly, turned his head to forget Jiu and said, "Brother forget Jiu, let's go!" Just ignore this idiot! ”

Forget Jiu and Tao Hong got out of the wine shop, walked to the street, and saw that they were about to disappear into the crowd, Xiao Jiu scratched his head irritably, and followed out.

On the street, except for Xiao Jiu, most of them are in pairs, or they are people who are looking left and right with willow branch fabrics in their hands, Xiao Jiu stared at the forgetful Jiu and Tao Hong in front of him, with a resentful expression on his face and did not know it, but he didn't notice the difference on the street today, there were many girls who wanted to throw willow branch fabrics to him, and they were also scared away when they saw his slightly gloomy face.

Tao Hong glanced at Xiao Jiu, who didn't know how to follow him, looked up, and smiled at Wangjiu, "Brother Wangjiu, look at the pastries on that stall, they are the kind I usually bring for you, but they are delicious, let's go and have a look!" ”

Forget Jiu nodded, Tao Hong pulled and forgot Jiu to go over together, Xiao Jiu was entangled by a lucky girl halfway, "Oh, this little brother, people are sincere, you just promise others!" ”

Xiao Jiu didn't want to do anything to the woman, so he only said coldly, "Get out!" ”

The woman listened to this voice, and her arms hugged Xiao Jiu's arms tighter, "Don't be shy!" My father is a big family in Qinghe Town, and he won't treat you badly, so you just follow me! ”

When the people on the street heard this, they stopped one after another, casting sympathetic glances for Xiao Jiu, this man is so handsome, and this woman is bloated, others have double chins, she has three chins, especially the black flesh mole with a few black hairs on her face is the most dramatic, as a woman, so shameless, it is really ......, alas! It's hard to put into words!

Xiao Jiu's forehead was slightly bruised, and he had already disappeared into the crowd with Tao Hong, his hand exerted a slight force, and just wanted to push away the lump of meat on his body, a few maids came from the crowd and dragged the superb girl away, and a maid said, "Miss, I told you, be reserved, be reserved, do you understand!" Otherwise, no one wants you! ”

The woman stretched out her hand in the direction of Xiao Jiu without believing in evil, and said with tears in her eyes, "No, he is the love of my life!" I'm not going to let go! ”

The little guys were struggling, and the corners of the girl's mouth twitched, "Miss, you don't care how many people have said they love, let alone dozens!" Can you have a longer memory? Reserved! Reserved! Do you understand! ”

Xiao Jiu subconsciously patted the place where the woman had caught, and his steps sped up in the direction of the two who had just forgotten Jiu and Tao Hong.

Searching around to no avail, Xiao Jiu suddenly heard Tao Hong's voice, he followed the sound to the river, and Yu Jiu and Tao Hong stood there, he subconsciously hid behind a willow tree by the river.
