The Cowherd said, "Since you have the heart to come to the world, why do you want to go back? It is not difficult to ask for my sister's things, as long as my sister agrees......"

"Promise what?"

"Marry me!"

Hearing Cowherd's such a straightforward confession, the Weaver Girl blushed and said: "You are a man in the world, I am a daughter in heaven, the heavens and the earth are far apart, how can I marry the Weaver Girl in the heavens to the world?"

The Cowherd replied: "The most precious thing in heaven and earth is love, and it is precisely because of this sacred love that the children and grandchildren of the world will continue to reproduce, and there will be more and more immortals in the sky!

The Cowherd's simple and rich feelings can't help but make the Weaver Girl love and admiration, and at the same time, the life in the world also makes her envious, so she decides to agree to the Cowherd's request.

In this way, the Weaver Girl Kashgar looked at the Cowherd with affection, her eyes flashed with love and happiness, and her face couldn't help turning red, she mustered up the courage to answer and nodded to the Cowherd, which was regarded as agreeing to the Cowherd's request.

In this way, the Weaver Girl became the wife of the Cowherd......

The husband and wife are in love, the simple and honest Cowherd, told his wife Weaver Girl truthfully about his life experience, and after hearing this, the Weaver Girl sympathized with and admired the Cowherd, and also told the Cowherd frankly about his situation in heaven.

After listening to the Weaver Girl's story, the Cowherd knew that this Weaver Girl was the granddaughter of the Queen Mother, who was weaving cloud brocade for her grandmother in the sky.

Every morning and evening, the Queen Mother would always decorate the sky with the brocade of clouds woven by the Weaver Girl, which is the brilliant morning and evening glow that mortals often see.

The Queen Mother was used to a life of drinking and drinking, and she had to use a lot of cloud brocade every day, so he always urged the Weaver Girl to weave all day and night over and over again, and never let her rest for a moment.

In this way, the weaver girl sat by the brocade machine for many years, as if she was locked in a prison cell, and there was no freedom at all.

The Weaver Girl often thought, "The mortal people say how good the heavens are, what is so good in the heavens?

The Weaver Girl told the Cowherd that it was because the Queen Mother was drunk that day that she and the other fairies were able to sneak out into the world to have a look.

After listening to these words of the Weaver Girl, the Cowherd was also very sympathetic to her, and at the same time he cherished his wife even more, he sighed: "Beloved wife, since the heavens are not good at all, you will never go back again, you can weave, I can farm, we will live a happy life on earth from now on!"

The Weaver Girl also nodded emotionally, tilted her head slightly, leaned on the Cowherd's shoulder, closed her eyes, and enjoyed the beauty of this moment.

Since then, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl have loved each other, and they have a good life.

Because the husband and wife are very hard-working, the Cowherd goes to the field to farm, and the Weaver Girl weaves at home, and the life can be described as happy and happy.

In this way, two or three years passed, and they gave birth to a pair of children, and the two children were very lively, lovely, and intelligent.

As the children grew up day by day, the Weaver Girl often pointed to the stars in the sky and happily told them stories from the sky.

One day, the Cowherd fed the old cow as usual, but saw the old cow with sad tears in his eyes, and the Cowherd couldn't help but feel very strange.

So, the Cowherd asked eagerly: "Old Niu, Old Niu, what's wrong with you, why are you so sad? Is it because I treat you badly? If I don't do anything that is not to your liking, just say it, and I will definitely correct it with all my heart!"

The old cow shook his head, and began to speak to the cowherd again, and he said: "You have treated me very well, but I am old and can no longer help you with your work, and I feel very guilty! You remember, when I die, you will peel off my skin and keep it, and if you encounter any emergency, you will put it on, and it will definitely help you! Even if you want to fly to the sky, you can do it!"

The Cowherd nodded again and again, and when he just wanted to persuade the old cow not to feel guilty for not being able to work, he found that the old cow had closed his eyes and died.

Seeing the old cow die like this, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl were very sad and painful, after all, they have been together day and night for so many years, and the depth of their feelings is very unimaginable.

Later, the Cowherd followed the instructions of the old cow before his death, left the cowhide, and buried the old cow's body on the hillside behind the house.

Due to the disappearance of the Weaver Girl for no reason, the Queen Mother was furious, but the other fairies insisted that they did not know, and the residence of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl was very hidden, so it was not discovered by the Queen Mother for a while.

However, who is the Queen Mother, that is the wife of the Jade Emperor, a high and powerful position, and a position above all gods under one god.

In the end, the marriage between the Weaver Girl and the Cowherd in the world was still known to the Queen Mother, which made the Queen Mother angry, and she was furious in the Heavenly Palace, which scared the other fairies so much that they didn't dare to come out.

So, the Queen Mother decided to personally arrest the Weaver Girl back to ask for the guilt, and she led the gods to break into the Cowherd's house in a huff.

It just so happened that the Cowherd was not at home, but was working in the fields, and only the Weaver Girl was weaving at home alone.

The moment she saw the Weaver Girl, the Queen Mother didn't say a word, and stepped forward to arrest the Weaver Girl, completely ignoring the two crying children beside the Weaver Girl.

When the two children of the Weaver Girl saw that their mother was being arrested by the Queen Mother, they hurried over, grabbed their mother's clothes tightly, and cried and refused to let go.

However, the ruthless Queen Mother pushed the children back, and the two children fell to the ground.

The Queen Mother grabbed the Weaver Girl and left, the Weaver Girl looked at the two children who fell, and felt extremely distressed, but she could not do anything, so she had to shout to the children: "Go find your father!"

When the Cowherd hurriedly returned home with her two children, the Weaver Girl had already been taken away by the Queen Mother, and all the pots and pans in the house had been smashed, the tables, chairs and benches had been knocked down, and the whole house was in a mess.

It was really a catastrophe, falling from the sky, seeing the two children crying and looking for their mother, the cowherd's heart was like a knife, and he was full of grief, he understood that his wife must have been captured by the Queen Mother and returned to heaven.

Thinking of the love of the husband and wife in the past, and the happy life of those families, the Cowherd is determined to chase the Weaver Girl back even if he chases him to the sky.

But how can a cowherd, who is a mortal, be able to ascend to heaven?

After thinking about it, the cowherd remembered what the old cow said before he died, hurriedly took out the cowhide and put it on his body, and put the two children in the basket, one by one, and ran out when he picked it up.

To the surprise of the Cowherd, as soon as he went out, he really flew, just like those gods in the air.

Because the Cowherd was eager to chase his wife, he flew very fast, and after a while, he saw his wife Weaver Girl who was caught by the Queen Mother.

The Cowherd shouted loudly from behind: "Weaver Girl, wait a minute, I'm here!"

The two children in the basket of the cowherd also kept shouting: "Mother, mother, wait!"

Seeing the Cowherd chasing closer and closer, the Weaver Girl was very excited, but just when the Cowherd was about to catch up, the ruthless Queen Mother pulled the hosta from her head, and then slammed it behind herd, and a heavenly river appeared in front of the Cowherd.

This celestial river is very wide, the water in the river is very deep, and the waves in the water are very large, so no matter how hard the cowherd tries, he can't fly over.

In the face of the turbulent river, the cowherd and the children shed tears of grief and indignation.

The little girl in the basket suddenly said to her father, "Father, we can use this dung scoop to scoop up the water in the heavenly river, so that we can cross the heavenly river!"

Seeing that a child has such a big determination, the cowherd also bit his heart with his teeth, and then picked up the big dung scoop and scooped out the water in the Tianhe River one by one.

When the cowherd was tired and tired, his two children took the dung and scooped the water from the river that day.

The Cowherd's unswerving love for his wife Weaver Girl finally touched the majestic Jade Emperor and the ruthless Queen Mother.

After thinking about it, the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother allowed the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl to meet once a year on the night of July 7.

Therefore, on the night of July 7 every year, countless magpies build a bridge over the Tianhe River, so that the Cowherd and Weaver Girl can meet on the bridge.

Because every time the Queqiao meets, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl will tell each other, it is inevitable that there will be a mixture of joy and sorrow, and the tears of crying are indispensable, so on this night, there is often a drizzle on the earth.

Since there is only one night a year when you can get together in close proximity, it is far from relieving the pain of the Cowherd and the children missing the Weaver Girl.

So, the cowherd dressed in cowhide decided to live in the sky with the child from now on, so that they could still see the Weaver Girl from afar across the Tianhe.

When mortals look up at the sky, they can often see that on both sides of the Tianhe River, there are two bright stars that shine brightly, that is, Altair and Vega.

Moreover, before and after Altair, there is a small star, which is the two children of the Cowherd and Weaver Girl.

Next to Altair, there are four small diamond-shaped stars, which are the weaving shuttles that the Weaver Girl threw to the Cowherd.

Next to Vega, there are three small stars in an isosceles triangle, which is the martingale that the Cowherd threw to the Weaver Girl.

It is said that the couple used this method of throwing shuttles and ox martingales to exchange news and convey their feelings to show their loyal love......

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Facing the Weaver Girl who appeared in front of him, Qianhao simply told the story of the Cowherd and Weaver Girl in folklore, and the Weaver Girl on the side heard tears in her eyes.

In the end, Qian Hao couldn't help but ask softly: "Weaver Girl, is this legendary story about you and the Cowherd really true?"

"Well, it's true, but it's not entirely true!"

"What do you mean by that?"

"Because...... Because my husband Cowherd has already died by the Tianhe! and my two children have long since disappeared, and the Queen Mother only told me that they were still alive, but she didn't let me know where they were!"

......
