Zhixin glanced at Princess Yong'an, who was defending Biyu like a nymphomaniac, and smiled helplessly: "Hugh is strange and the family is making fun of you, you are not wronged at all!" Fortunately, I didn't let you evaluate it, if you are a central official, I'm afraid you won't be able to give him a rating? ”

Princess Yong'an regretted her recklessness, blushed, and said embarrassedly: "Actually...... The grade they rated for Shu Shangshulang was indeed too low, how could they do it? ”

Zhixin was also a little upset: "Yes, Zhongzheng praises and disparages characters, there must always be some basis, there is a reason or something, why do they only rate Shu Shangshulang as a five-grade product?" ”

Xiao Mo slapped his thigh and said with annoyance: "It's very depressing to say, I can't do a good job, I wanted to help Brother Shu, but I didn't think about it but ended up hurting him." I'm going to tell you today, the two of you are judging and judging, obviously you have done a great thing, how did it become a big mistake? ”

Zhixin listened to Xiao Mo's narration, and couldn't help but secretly admire this Shu Shangshulang: This surnamed Shu is from a poor family, but he cares about the suffering of the people, and it is really rare to be willing to scatter such a large sum of money. I can't complain that every time Xiao Mo mentions him, his words are full of admiration!

"Who would be stupid enough to take half of their family assets to gain an uncertain false name? Don't say that he doesn't know about the name, even if he did it on purpose? A poor boy with only 200,000 family assets scattered 100,000 yuan at a time, which is enough to embarrass all wealthy families. ”

Xiao Mo finally found someone who could distinguish between the green and the white, and happily said to Zhixin: "That's right, that's right." If 100,000 yuan is to be left in your Shi family, it is like a drop in the bucket, and it can't be compared at all. was also rewarded with 200,000 yuan by the emperor, presumably you didn't even pinch your eyelids. ”

Zhixin listened to Xiao Mo's words and laughed: "200,000 yuan is not a small amount, if it is exchanged for corn, it will have to pull several big carts." Besides, no matter how rich the Shi family is, it is also the Shi family, what does it have to do with me? I cherish the 200,000 yuan that the emperor gave me. ”

"That's right, it's a pity that you are a daughter, even if the Shi family is rich and noble, you are not qualified to inherit, and when the time comes, if you find someone to marry, it will have nothing to do with you at all. It is impossible for any woman to move her household assets to her husband's house. ”

"At this point, it can't be compared with a princess, people are directly married with a title. Whoever is chosen to be a colt is a great blessing! ”

"If you eat people with a short mouth and enjoy the welfare of the princess, you have to endure the princess's temper. Look at the colts, how many of them are willing? With the little temper of our princess, whether it is marrying Shi Gongzi or Godson in the future, they all have to bear it, and in the future, if they don't twist Shi Gongzi into a godboy, it will be strange if the godfather is soaked into a wet son......"

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Mo's mouth had already been poured into a large glass of wine by Princess Yong'an. "You're going too far, am I that rude? Hum! You say this about me, how can I get married? ”

Although Princess Yong'an was so angry with Xiao Mo and Zhixin that she pouted, these two were kind to her and the most confidant, how could she be really angry? Shaoqing smiled and said to Zhixin again: "By the way, Dr. Xin, you see that Xiao Mo and Shu Shangshulang know how to play more, and they don't spend money when they have money, but they secretly give it to the poor, and they don't say anything about doing good deeds for others, and this process itself is also exciting." If only we could play like that. ”

"You're dreaming again. Everyone is a man, can you compare? There are no special circumstances, we can't even get out of this palace gate! ”

Princess Yong'an wilted at once, pouted and said, "Can you create a special situation to come out, so that I can also go out of the palace." ”

Xiao Mo saw the princess like this, and deliberately angry with her: "Hey, living in this palace is extremely noble, but it is too monotonous and boring. Outside the world, north-south traffic, the rise of all industries, not only the market is very lively, now it is the end of February, spring back to the earth, the kind of wind and sunshine, willow green and peach...... Isn't it beautiful to kill? ”

"The spring scenery is beautiful, but the most important thing is that the viewer is merciless in his heart. If there is affection, it will be affectionately blended in the beautiful scenery, complement each other, and never forget; If it is ruthless, it is like a scalper to Suqin, even if the scenery is beautiful, it is a passing cloud and a waste. The most beautiful day of spring is the Shangsi Festival, the scenery is beautiful, and the love is stronger. Spring is short, like the fragrance of a girl, the most worthy of sacrifice. ”

Since the age of sixteen, Zhixin has completely lost interest in the Shangsi Festival. She didn't know why she said this inadvertently, maybe it was a lecture from a sister or a teacher to this princess sister who didn't know what love was.

Princess Yong'an didn't notice Zhixin's expression at the moment, and she didn't understand what she said about her reluctance, she only heard the words "Shangsi Festival", she couldn't hide her excitement, and shouted: "I have long heard that there is a March 3rd Shangsi Festival among the people, which is extremely fun, I am so old, I have never seen it, and I have to go out to see what I say this time." You're both going to have to figure it out for me. ”

"Shangsi Festival is the most beautiful day of spring, and the scenery is beautiful. Like the girl's ephemeral fragrance, it is the most worthy of sacrifice. Xiao Mo also decided to leave a memory worth remembering for the future on this most beautiful day. But she didn't agree to Princess Yong'an's request - she wanted to enjoy the beautiful scenery and live the best day with the people she had poured too much affection into.

In addition to the public going out to enjoy the spring, the Shangsi Festival should also be the Valentine's Day of unmarried men and women. In the pre-Qin era, young boys and girls could play and make noise together, or they could have private meetings alone, which was very normal and there was no sense of disobedience. However, after the Han Dynasty, with the gradual restraint of etiquette and religion, the role of Valentine's Day gradually disappeared, and finally even the Shangsi Festival itself gradually faded out of people's customs.

Fortunately, the relaxed etiquette and religious environment in the Wei and Jin dynasties made the Shangsi Festival still glow with charm, and it was in the ascendant and was quite popular with people. However, it was also after the age of sixteen that Shu Yan completely ignored the existence of the Shangsi Festival. Zhixin gave him ignorant and sincere love, and since Zhixin left, his heart was as wide and silent as a frozen lake in winter. His character is talented and famous, and over the years, there have been several eunuchs from poor families who wanted to marry their daughters to him, but he politely refused.

Shang Shulang's position was not easy, and he didn't have the heart to get acquainted with young girls, so he really didn't have much motivation to participate in the Shangsi Festival, but he still went. It was successfully deceived by Xiao Mo.

On March 3, the spring sun was warm and the breeze was gentle. The carriages, horses, and footsteps leading from Tongtuo Street to the gate of Xuanyang City have long occupied the road, crowding up to go out of the city to Luoshui. Although many measures to control congestion were collected during the planning of the test, none of them were implemented. I don't know if it adopted Biyu's idea of "doing nothing and curing everything", or whether the imperial court simply ignored these countermeasures.

Fortunately, Shu Yan and Xiao Mo were lightly dressed and simple, and they didn't even ride a horse, so they passed through the city gate easily. Shu Yan was wearing a blue satin robe, with a small crown, and a pair of head clogs on his feet. He also has some savings now, and he is willing to buy himself a suit. Although he came from a poor family, after years of rendering in the temple, he is now more magnificent, proud but not arrogant, humble but not discouraged, and his words and deeds are full of confident temperament and masculine demeanor.

Xiao Mo saw it in his eyes, was happy in his heart, and followed Shu Yan's left and right tightly. At this time, she took off the official hat and robe that she had long been tired of, and put on a butterfly-patterned white robe that she had not seen for a long time, her black hair was pulled high, and she was tied in a jade tube, just like when the two first met.

"Hey, your robe ......" But Shu Yan still found an abnormality, which was the butterfly embroidered on Xiao Mo's robe. When I first met, there was a big butterfly in the front and back of the heart, and the rest of the place was a large number of small butterflies, each fluttering; Today, the overall layout of the ornament remains the same, except that all the butterflies have become pairs. "I remember, last time you went back to your hometown, I went back to Ruyin, we met again on the way back, you were wearing this robe that was different from the previous style, I asked you at that time, but you didn't answer."

Xiao Mo changed from the grinning and straightforward appearance of a righteous brother in the past, and became shy, and his pink little face was always flushed. She looked at the young boys and girls by the Luohe River and asked, "Brother Shu, look at those crowds, some enjoy the spring alone, and some go out in pairs, which of them do you think is happier?" ”

"I'm not them, how do I know which of them is happier?"

Xiao Mo deliberately sank his face: "I'm asking you a serious question, and you're perfunctory to me like this?" ”

I thought that Xiao Mo was asking if he had a ride, but he didn't expect it to be serious, Shu Yan tilted his head slightly, made a thinking gesture, and then said: "Guan Guan Ju Dove, in Hezhizhou." My Fair Lady, Gentleman. Judging from the words 'guanguan' and 'good', both humans and animals want to be in pairs rather than be single, and from this point of view, it seems that pairs should be happier. ”

This guy isn't very open-minded. "Congratulations, you got it right. That's what I thought, too. I used to envy the freedom of butterflies, so my robe was covered with butterflies flying freely; Now I like butterflies in pairs, so I changed the butterflies on my robe to a pair. ”

Xiao Mo looked at Shu Yan with a pair of clear eyes full of sweetness. But this big straight man suddenly put away his smile and sighed: "One misstep becomes a thousand hatreds!" Since you envy others in pairs, why did you cut yourself off in the first place? Now it's too late to regret it, and it's irreparable. ”

How irreparable? I haven't stumbled, and I don't have any eternal hatred, I'm a woman myself, and I just want to be a pair with you! Xiao Mo knew that what Shu Yan said was about being a eunuch. She really wanted to tell Shu Yan the truth, but she knew that the time was not ripe in all aspects, and if she didn't get it right, not only would the two of them not be together forever, but it might even bring big trouble.

"It's my own decision, I don't blame anyone else. But what about you, since you know that being in pairs is happy, why do you keep being single? ”

The two have known each other for so long, and Xiao Mo asked this question for the first time.

Shu Yan didn't think about this problem himself. yes, why have you been single. Is it the oath of "if you are in a different room, if you die, you will be in the same cave"? Still is......

He himself did not know. "Zi Fei Fish, the joy of Anzhi fish? The son is not me, and I am not happy? How do you know I'm not happy right now? ”

Xiao Mo was overjoyed after hearing this, and said with a smile: "I am not a son, but I know that the joy of a son is more than the joy of Guan Ju." ”

Luoyang is the world's first-class gentle and wealthy place, with a large number of nobles and a population 100 times that of Ruyin and other small counties. The scale and gameplay of the festival are incomparable to other places. Today's warm breeze is warm, and the people who overcome the congestion in Luoyang City are intertwined with tourists outside the city, and they rush to the Luohe River in an endless stream. The grassy slopes are full of all kinds of carriages and horses, well-dressed children, and ladies with light yarns are scattered on the long north bank of Luoshui under the cover of large and small umbrellas and colorful obstacles.

Not only is the pomp and circumstance bigger, but because Luoyang is a gathering place for wealthy people, literati and celebrities, this creates conditions for a variety of cultural and entertainment activities on the Shangsi Festival. Under a few large willow trees, a group of people are holding flutes and flutes, and they are cultivating themselves and holding a small concert; On the edge of a small bamboo forest, five or seven talkers in wide clothes and belts, holding their tails, are engaged in a fierce debate on a topic, although it is fierce, but still maintains a free and easy manner, and does not sit together in a straight manner, but either reclining or squatting, allowing freedom and comfort; On a flat grass, with an umbrella cover, a few wooden tables below, a few mats, several well-dressed people are feasting and drinking, maids and scholars are waiting left and right, drinking to the happy place, poetry is flourishing, and a few words are casually chanted; At a small stream near the river, many young children lined up, put their wine glasses in a wooden plate, let them drift, and played with the meandering water; The wealthy ladies who don't go out easily can't waste this great opportunity at this moment, either picking wildflowers, fluttering butterflies, or bowing to the river; In secluded places, there are some young men and women who love each other and have little chance on weekdays, falling in love with each other and confiding in each other; Of course, more people are carrying out the most essential bluegrass washing and purification activities of this festival. These splendid festival customs, coupled with the cruise boats shuttling back and forth in the river, naturally form a long picture of national peace and security, wealth and tranquility.

Some people died, but not completely......
