Chapter 594: Watching the Temple Fair in the Orchid Valley
Mu Qianmei and Liu Tingfeng played more casually, so they didn't pay much attention to the chess game on the chessboard, and when they heard Yue Qingyuan's admiration, they continued to smile and said:
"It's just a small sigh, Senior Brother Yue smiled."
Yue Qingyuan said seriously:
"Miss Mu can associate life from the chess game, it can be seen that she is a person who has a deep understanding of the chess game and life, this is a kind of realm, unlike us, when playing chess, we are entangled in the success or failure of the chessboard, but we don't think so much."
Mu Qianmei smiled and said:
"If you really want to say that, you can have a sense of life everywhere in your life."
Yue Qingyuan couldn't help but say curiously:
"Oh? Can you have a sense of life everywhere in your life? Can you tell us about it? ”
Mu Qianmei thought for a while and said slowly:
"Life is like tea, the entrance is bitter, but the aftertaste is sweet; Life is like wine, although there are light and strong, but it is fragrant for a long time; Life is like a song, sometimes passionate, sometimes full of sadness; Life is like a play, but there is no rehearsal, even if you are wrong, you can't do it again; Life is like a poem, with endless ups and downs, endless joys and sorrows; Life is like a dream, when you wake up from a dream, the truth and the truth are empty! ”
As soon as Mu Qianmei spoke, everyone couldn't help but stop playing chess, and listened carefully together, hearing Mu Qianmei's words of life insight, they couldn't help but think thoughtfully, and Jade was the first to praise:
"What Miss said makes so much sense! And it's like a poem! ”
The Tiger King immediately said:
"Miss, this is called a mouth...... No, it should be called a poem. ”
Bai Qianqian said with a smile:
"Miss thinks so much about life like chess, it's really powerful, and it's all profound."
Yue Qingyuan seemed to have just come back to his senses at this time, so he sighed:
"The first few sentences are fine, but the last sentence seems to have seen through life, and I don't dare to think about it!"
When Xiao Ziqi heard it, he muttered to himself:
"Life is like a dream, when you wake up from a dream, the truth and the truth are empty, and there is indeed a bit of Zen, we still should not think deeply."
At this time, Bai Lingshan said while collecting the chess pieces:
"I don't know much else, life is like chess, I can understand this without regrets, come, come, come, little boy, let's continue to play, and in the future, we will follow the rules, and no one will regret chess."
At this time, Liu Tingfeng remembered the process of the Yugu Continent from the coexistence of the Seven Kingdoms to the domination of the world, and couldn't help but say:
"This life is like chess, it is indeed not just a game of chess, as small as the fate of the individual, as big as the overall situation of the world, in fact, it is a game of chess, the senior sister once said that the general trend of the world, the division of a long time must be combined and a long time must be divided, but when the Son of Heaven plays chess, all the subjects have become chess pieces on the chessboard."
Yue Qingyuan said in surprise:
"The general trend of the world is also like a chess game? Then this whole country will become their chessboard! In fact, every emperor has the dream of dominating the world, but he has not broken the balance, so there is no such time, and now the Xiyu country is divided into two, and the balance has been broken. ”
As he spoke, there was a little more worry in his tone, and finally, he said faintly:
"The Son of Heaven plays chess, and the subjects of the world are all chess pieces, and it is the people who suffer!"
At this moment, the sound of firecrackers was already heard in the distance, and Mu Qianmei changed the topic and said:
"Wang Hu, Lan'er, the time has come, you go out and set off firecrackers to welcome the New Year!"
The people at the table who were about to play another game of backgammon, as soon as they heard that they could set off firecrackers again, immediately put down the chess pieces in their hands and ran out of the gate excitedly.
After a while, there was the sound of crackling firecrackers outside the door, mixed with the happy laughter of several people.
When the sound of firecrackers stopped, a servant brought wine and food, and at this time it was the third watch, Mu Qianmei greeted:
"Okay, let's have supper, after eating supper, you can go to rest if you want to sleep, and you can continue to play chess if you want to play chess.
After supper, Yue Qingyuan and Xiao Ziqi were still interested in playing chess because they had just learned to play chess, so they continued to play, and Bing Lan also accompanied Bai Qianqian to continue to play chess, and the people who played backgammon at the table didn't want to sleep anymore, so they all continued to play backgammon.
Mu Qianmei and Liu Tingfeng chose to rest separately.
Magnolia City seemed to be very calm during the Chinese New Year, the people seemed to have returned to normal life, and the temple fair was still held normally.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, after having lunch, the group of Meihua Villa went to Magnolia City together to see the temple fair.
When I came to Magnolia City, I saw that the streets were full of people coming and going, and the streets were full of red lanterns, and people were wearing new and beautiful clothes, and their faces were full of joyful expressions.
Many people were gathering in one place, and when Mu Qianmei heard people's discussions, she realized that they were all preparing to go to the flower temple in Orchid Valley.
Magnolia City is rich in orchids, the most famous of which is the Orchid Valley, there is a flower temple in the Orchid Valley, and the temple fairs of Magnolia City have been held here for many years.
Before walking to the Orchid Valley, a long way outside the valley, there are already many small vendors full of all kinds of small stalls, some sell snacks, some sell small toys, some sell clothes, some sell all kinds of magnolia related souvenirs, all kinds of goods, dazzling, the cries of selling one after another, showing a lively scene.
Among the group of people who came out of Plum Blossom Mountain Villa, Mu Qianmei and Liu Tingfeng walked in the front, followed by Yue Qingyuan, Xiao Ziqi, Bing Lan, Bai Qianqian, Tiger King, Jade, Bai Lingshan and Wenlan Gongzi walked last, their Chinese Lan Gongzi held Ling Mimi, Bai Lingshan held the rabbit, and the next few were people who liked to be lively, and they were all excited.
Seeing the sugar gourd seller, Bai Lingshan immediately bought a string of sugar gourds for each of the four people walking behind, and several people ate it with relish and had a lot of fun, and when they saw all kinds of strange things on the street, they would run up to take a look, ask them, and when they met what they liked, they would buy it and hold it in their hands.
The Tiger King, like a big child, actually sold a wooden sword, which looked quite majestic in his hand, and the Magnolia Prince held a sword made of bamboo, and the scabbard also wrote the words "Gentleman's Sword" in simple ancient characters, and he also looked like he couldn't put it down.
Jade bought a beautiful rag doll, which looked cute and cute, and Bai Lingshan bought a bracelet of southern red Buddha beads, which looked crystal round on her wrist, which matched her temperament.
Even Ling Mimi and Rabbit each wore a necklace made of small wooden plants.
Seeing that they were very interested, Mu Qianmei and the others walked very slowly when they walked in front, and they had to pay attention to the whereabouts of several people at any time while walking.
When I arrived in Orchid Valley, it was even more lively here, some people were telling stories, some were juggling, some were singing and dancing, some were burning incense and sacrificing in the temple, Mu Qianmei had seen a lot of such scenes, so she didn't feel unusual, she just watched indifferently, and watched Wenlan Gongzi and a few people play with a smile.
Their group has become a unique scenery in the Orchid Valley, the beauty of the women, the handsomeness of the men, as soon as they stop there, they have become the existence of the limelight, and many people can't help but stop to look at them.
Especially Mu Qianmei, who looked like she was only a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, but with a faint smile on her face, she seemed to have a bit of the charm of a mature woman, and her eyes kept looking at a few young men and women who were playing, just like a mother watching her child play.
She stood there and looked kind, but there was a kind of non-angry and self-threatening momentum, which made people dare not approach easily.
Just when everyone only dared to peek a few times from a distance, a group of young men walked in from outside the valley, dressed in brocade clothes, and at first glance they were the young masters and sons of large families, followed by many guards and subordinates, looking powerful and imposing.
In the bustling streets, people moved out of the way to make way for them.
Mu Qianmei and the others also followed the flow to the side of the road.
I only heard people whispering while giving way—
"These are the most famous gentlemen in Magnolia City, and this time they came in a group, I don't know what kind of turmoil will be caused by it."
"What else can there be any turmoil, every time you travel, isn't it just to flirt with a few women from good families and clean up a few young men who don't like your eyes?"
"Yes, especially the leading Liang Gongzi, every time he molests a woman, many people just dare to be angry and dare not speak, if there is a hot-blooded boy who dares to come forward, he will be arrested."
"The current Magnolia City is not as good as in previous years, the new emperor has just ascended the throne, and this is no longer the world of the city lord, does he dare to be as presumptuous as in previous years?"
"How can the emperor have time to take care of such a trivial matter, it's better to stay away, don't let him see it, otherwise if he is bullied, what can he do?"
"I don't know who will be the unlucky one this year."
"Shhh, be quiet, that Liang Gongzi is the little young master of the city lord's family, we can't afford to mess with it."
……
From these whispered conversations, Mu Qianmei also had a general understanding of the people who came from this line, and the person who dared to love the leader was still the little young master of the City Lord's Mansion, and it was estimated that he was a little arrogant, so his reputation was not very good.
At this moment, a bold aunt ran to Mu Qianmei's side and reminded:
"Miss, you hurry up and stay away, and don't let him see it before he finds out, otherwise a good-looking woman like Miss will definitely be taken by him."
Mu Qianmei smiled and thanked:
"Thank you for the reminder, Auntie, let's go back and forth."
As he spoke, he took Liu Tingfeng and a few people to the side of the street again and continued to retreat, and beckoned Wenlan Gongzi and a few people to come this way.
However, because Bai Lingshan was in front of a stall selling gadgets, she took a fancy to a wooden bird on the stall, and was giving the spirit stone to the stall owner to buy it, so her reaction was a little slower.
At this moment, Liang Gongzi and his entourage had already come behind Bai Lingshan, and a man in white immediately dodged in front of Bai Lingshan, and said:
"Miss, please stay, my son-in-law has something to ask you."
