Chapter One Hundred and Eight: Masks and Chances
"I didn't expect there to be so many sayings about the Youth Festival."
"Of course, there is also a link of poetry and painting on the spot, and the young lady with good literary talent is very popular." Another young lady who has been to Sister Taqing said.
"I know this, I heard that our basic information is written in the list, but it's a pity that there are no people in our mountain villa who can sing poetry and paint."
"Yes, so our villa is divided into the same area every time, and the level of the ladies is about the same."
"I've heard of this, the ladies of our mountain villa and Yuanwai mountain villa are basically in the largest area of the Youth Festival. Yanwai Castle is one with the Imperial City, and the girls from the countryside are also together. I heard that this year's Qingqing Festival will be held for three days, and I don't know if there are any new rules. ”
"That must be there, Yanwai Castle has money and will be more lively this year than ever."
"Sister Yuqing, have you read our information? Our information was all written by Sister Ye Xuan, for fear that she would highlight the untruthfulness of what she wrote. ”
"I haven't seen this yet, what about you, Zhen'er?" Yuqing smiled perfunctorily, turned her head and asked Zhen'er. In my heart, I thought that what Ye Xuan wrote was true.
"I've read it, and it's written quite in line with everyone." Zhen'er remembered the scene where she argued with Ye Xuan over Yuqing's life experience, and couldn't help but glance at Yuqing with a weak heart.
"That's good, people are now in the palace and become nobles, I hope she has a good life." A young lady in the second room said in a slightly sour tone.
"What's good, I heard another quarrel in the courtyard of the third room last night. The eldest lady of the third room had the loudest voice, as if to ask everyone to bring some silver to Ye Xuan, so that she could deal with the people in the palace. ”
"Hey, the face of the eldest lady in the third room is really big, why should you ask other rooms to give money, not to mention that the family has been separated, even if there is no separation, there is no reason." The young lady in the courtyard of the fourth room followed up.
"It's not that we can't take it, if Ye Xuan is really selected in the draft, then everyone will follow the glory, but they will send it to the door themselves, why should we take the silver, we can't lose face." The young lady who participated in the outing in the third room said.
"Okay, let's talk about the Qingqing Festival, there are other rules we don't know." Zhen'er changed the topic, Ye Xuan really made a mistake in this step, I hope that the girls who went out in the villa during the Green Festival will not make mistakes.
The young ladies chattered about what they had heard about the Qingqing Festival, and when they left their parents, the girls gathered together, leaving their shyness aside, and talking to each other about what their sons should look like, and some people asked about Yuqing and Zhen'er.
"The two main sisters, you often have the opportunity to go out of the villa, do you already have someone you like? I heard that before the Youth Festival, each team leader should have a meeting in advance to talk about the rules. Summoned us here today to tell us about it? ”
"Huh? We really don't know, I'm busy diagnosing people these days, Zhen'er is in charge of the villa restaurant, when will the meeting be held? ”
"Three or four days ago, I heard Ye Xuan talk to her mother in the courtyard. Ye Xuan was afraid that he was busy entering the palace to dedicate himself to the emperor, and he forgot about it. The young lady in the second room said sourly.
"It's okay, there is still time in the afternoon, Zhen'er and I will go to Yanwai Castle to ask, and I promise that we will not delay everyone's lifelong events." Yuqing said hurriedly.
"yes, we're the face of the villa."
After lunch, Yuqing and Zhen'er went to Yanwai Castle, in addition to these blind dates, there are also arrangements for the Qingqing Festival market, and these things can't be asked to Ye Xuan now.
"Yuqing, you said that Ye Xuan is too, the courtyard where we live is not far away, so we can't talk to the two of us at night, how passive this matter is now." On the way, Zhen'er couldn't help but resent.
"Ye Xuan was also forced by her mother to lose her mind, she is a few months older than the two of us, and the eldest lady of the third room is afraid that she is in a hurry."
"No matter how anxious you are, you can't jump into the fire pit by yourself."
"Zhen'er, everyone has their own ambitions, others can't force them, people are like birds flying in the sky, some covet beautiful cages, and some yearn for a free sky. It's easy to be a bird in a cage, but it lacks the fun of flying freely in the open sky. “
"Yuqing, no matter what, you can't share a man with so many women. Ordinary people have wives and concubines and quarrel constantly, not to mention that there are countless women in the emperor's harem, what kind of husband and wife do they talk about in this life, and the family is harmonious. My father only accepted one concubine, and he already told my mother to cry secretly, if it weren't for the palace change, my father was gone, and the concubine who had been said to be good was not brought in, otherwise my mother didn't know how to be sad. “
Yuqing didn't answer the phone, she didn't feel it, the aunt and aunt of the Sixth Courtyard have always respected each other and had a good relationship, otherwise the aunt wouldn't have been able to follow her aunt into the palace to repair the palace for the first emperor. As a result, the couple died together in the palace. Thinking of this, Yu Qingjue's self owes Ye Jing and Ye Wen a mother's mother. “
"Two young ladies, Yanwai Castle has arrived, and I will be waiting for you outside." Ghost Six, who was driving the car, said.
"It's here so soon, Yuqing, where's your face towel?" Zhen'er asked Yuqing after putting on her scarf.
"I didn't bring a face towel, I have this mask, I will bring it today to see the effect, and I will wear it the day after tomorrow during the Youth Festival." Yuqing said as he took out the mask from his pocket and put it on, and Zhen'er, who was only looking at it, lit up her eyes.
"Yuqing, this is better than a face towel, do you want to get me one, anyway, you already have the master of Yanxiao Castle."
"That's not true, it was brought from my mother's hometown. If you like it, I will lend it to you to wear it during the Youth Festival, and I will give Sister Zhen'er a different appearance. “
"Yuqing, you're kidding me."
"Don't wronged people, your brother-in-law still remembers you."
"Sister Yuqing, what are you ......still talking about?"
Yuqing, whom everyone in the castle recognized, was very polite and brought Yuqing and Zhen'er to the guest room of the castle. Tea and snacks were already served.
"Miss Yuqing, our little castle master is not here in the ancient castle, if Miss Yuqing is in a hurry, the slave will send someone to find him back." A big girl said after pouring tea for two people.
"There's no need to look for him, Miss Ben just came over to ask about the specifics of the Youth Festival."
"This matter has been handed over to the next person to handle, and the meeting that convened the team a few days ago was presided over by the mother in charge of the ancient castle. If that's the case, the little one will go to the lady in charge. ”
"Okay, then it's going to bother the girl."
"Yuqing, I thought that my brother-in-law was in charge of this matter, but it turned out that it was all done by the people below."
"Jane, if the Twin Eagles were in charge, he should have told us yesterday. But even if the people below are in charge, they can't delay my sister's business. Yuqing laughed.
"Sister Yuqing, people don't mean that, you can understand it when you think about it, the castle is much bigger than our villa, if the lord of the castle does it alone, he won't be tired to death."
"Yes, I have to tell Ye Jing when I go back, when the three of us were in charge of things, we still had a companion, but now he is a half-grown child."
"Sister Yuqing, Ye Jing's ability is not small. We can help him for a while when we are free, and then the children will grow up. ”
"Now it's all about this, and after the Youth Festival, the two of us will be able to be idle."
"Miss Yuqing, the old slave is here." While the two were talking, the lady in charge of the castle informed her outside.
"Mama come in, Miss Ye Xuan has entered the palace, so I bother Mama to tell us about the Qingqing Festival." Yuqing and Zhen'er hurriedly greeted each other.
"Miss Ye Xuan entered the palace so soon, and it hasn't been the time for the draft yet."
"Mama, how can you say this, she has got what she wants." Zhen'er said with some embarrassment.
"The old slave understands, Miss Ye Xuan's heart is high. Well, there are some changes to the Qingqing Festival than before. You all know that this is a blind date show, spring is a beautiful season, but also the beginning of the revival of all things, at this time to hold a green activity, not only looking forward to a year of good harvest, but also with the help of young people's firepower to be full of energy. It is also a chance to give young people a chance to completely relax at the beginning of a busy day and at the end of a winter. So this year, we competed for the right to host the festival, so we made some changes to the rules of the festival. First of all, it was extended from the original one or two days to three days, and a talent show was added on the basis of the original literary display, not only for the ladies to show their female popularity, but also to add opportunities for the young masters to perform. In this way, everyone who is from Wen Shangwu has the opportunity to show his skills, and he can understand each other better. Our little castle lord said that this festival is chosen by the young lady and princess, and it is only fair to do so. "The lady in charge is obviously a capable person, and she said a lot in one breath, and Yuqing felt as if the leader of her previous life was speaking.
"Mama, you take a sip of tea to moisten your throat first, is it still the same separate area as before."
"Miss Yuqing, there are still regional differences, but there are no activity restrictions this year. Some people are willing to marry low, some people want to marry high, and we have no power to limit the wishes of others. This is also the proposal of our small castle owner, I hope that this Qingqing Festival held by our Yanwai Castle can be different, so that more young people like it, and let lovers eventually become married. ”
"Mama, what you said is so good, we also want to ask about other side activities at the Youth Festival."
"The incidental activities are the bazaar and recruitment, and we have also made some changes. The market runs through the whole street, of course, we have to charge a certain fee for each stall, and also protect the interests of every businessman to the greatest extent. The lord of the castle is now discussing the details with the soldiers of our castle. In addition, the transactions of this time are mainly based on gifts and food, putting an end to everything that used to be noisy, and turning the happy festival into a large collection of goods. Oh, and if you look at this map, the places where there are makeshift tents are where young men and women interact with each other. ”
"Oh, this picture is detailed enough, there are twelve tents...... These are connected in a straight line and circled to be the Qingqing Festival bazaar, and they are numbered. ”
"Yes, your villa is from No. 10 to No. 22, and below is Yuanwai Villa and Yanwai Castle, and below is the village from the countryside."
"Who are the numbers 1 to 10 for?"
"Miss Zhen'er, these are the shops in the Imperial City, and these are all distributed according to the distance, and they are determined on the basis of the previous years according to the merchants who have signed up. It also avoids unnecessary friction in order to compete for position. ”
"Mama in charge, is it still the same as before, the young lady who participated in the Qingqing Festival brought a face towel, and the young master took a folding fan."
"Yes, this hasn't changed for the time being, after all, girls have to wear a face towel when they go out, and most boys like fans, and then leave their own ink treasures on the fan."
...... Yuqing and the head of the castle talked for a while, and had a more specific understanding of this Qingqing Festival. The two of them admired in their hearts that the Qingqing Festival held by Yanwai Castle was well thought out. When Yan Shuangying left, Yan Shuangying hadn't come back yet, Zhen'er brought a scarf, Yuqing brought a mask, and the lady in charge who came to see it had a smile in her eyes.
"Miss Yuqing, your mask is so good-looking, if it weren't for the fact that this Qingqing Festival was just in time for an accident in the imperial city, our little castle master also planned to make some changes to the face towel."
"Twin Eagles also has this idea, but the organizers of making such a mask will have to invest more."
"Yes, but it can also raise the profile of the festival. I don't know who will hold next year's Qingqing Festival, by the way, and the last item is to score the organizers, I really hope that this time we Yanwai Castle can get full marks. The lady in charge said and put Yuqing and Zhen'er into the carriage.
"Yuqing, thanks to the preparation time for tomorrow, this Ye Xuan is really delayed."
"Zhen'er, tomorrow the two of us will go from house to house according to the list."
"Yes, I have to bring Ye Jing, this is the first major event he has taken office."
"Yes, at that time, we were dealing with corpses and treating plagues, boiling medicinal soup. It seems like yesterday, but it's really not been a few months since then. ”
"Yuqing, let's talk about it for two years. After a few months and two years, we have become different, and if it weren't for the experience of the head of the lodge, I don't think I would have been so capable. ”
"Okay, don't be emotional." Yuqing said with a smile. The carriage headed towards the lodge, which was already full of greenery along the way.
Yuqing's consciousness was felt again, and the soul pen also reminded: "Master, two groups of people have come to the villa to find you." ”
"Mom, what my sister said is not right, it is one person and two people. Sister must be not good at arithmetic, there are only three people in total, but the purpose is different. The little boy hurriedly corrected him.
"You're smart again, nasty!"
"I'm smarter than you, you can draw, I can count. Sister, don't be discouraged, I will help you in the future. ”
"Mean, I'm not just drawing, you know? Bean sprouts. ”
"Mom, people don't like that name."
"Hahaha......"
"You two don't quarrel, the bean sprouts are pretty good." Yuqing's consciousness also laughed.
