Chapter 408: Sachets Send True Love
Although Shimen Town is called a town, but the scale is really not small, almost catching up with a small county town, only because of the proximity to the official road traffic rush, thus driving the local trade, but also attracting a lot of people to move in, so after so many years of expansion and settlement of more and more people, the local area is naturally prosperous and lively.
This Mid-Autumn Festival Lantern Festival, every household in the town rushed to participate, and the town center was also crowded for a while, which seemed a little crowded.
After the disciples of the Thousand Feather Sect gathered and met in the nearby streets, they still walked around the lantern festival in groups of three or five, but they were not too far away from each other, so as not to delay each other when they returned to the mountain.
Shao Xi and the others squeezed around in the crowd, looking east and west, walking Lao Wu and Wu Qiu'er with Su Ying didn't know where they were squeezed, leaving only Luan Xiu and Shao Xi to walk alone.
Shao Xi didn't care, Luan Xiu actually found out early that she was separated from Su Ying and a few people, but she didn't look for it, for her, this was a rare opportunity to be alone with Shao Xi, and she was secretly glad in her heart.
At this time, her mind was no longer on watching the lantern, but had been carefully squeezing around Shao Xi, lest she would be separated from Shao Xi.
As they strolled around, they came to a calligraphy and painting stall, where some literati and artists took advantage of the festival to write poems and show their talents.
The owner of the stall is very good at doing business, and provides the four treasures of the study room for people to use, which scholar Xiu is willing to write here only needs to pay a penny of paper and ink, and the written things can be left here for display, or they can take it away.
Although there are not many guests who come, there are indeed people who have come to Yaxing for a while, and they are willing to write a few words here, one is to help the festival, and the other is to please the women around them.
Originally, Shao Xi didn't care when he passed here, but who knew that Luan Xiu was moved.
So he pulled Shao Xi's sleeve and whispered: "Senior brother, today is the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is the time of the reunion of all families, you and I are destined to become the same family, you and I are destined to become the same family, you will leave in a few days, I am afraid that it will be difficult to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion together in the future, can you leave a few words of ink here for the junior sister as a souvenir?" ”
Shao Xi naturally knew what Luan Xiu was thinking, although he only had the friendship of the same family to Luan Xiu, at most he had some brother and sister affection, but others like him and he can't stop others, right?
Besides, Luan Xiu's request is not too much, he just wants to keep a thought, and he can't be too unkind.
So Shao Xi happily agreed, and the two came to the calligraphy and painting stall, and the owner of the stall saw that it was a young man and a girl, and he was very enthusiastic.
So he stretched out a finger, which meant to write a penny once, who knew that Shao Xi raised his hand and threw him a tael of silver, which stunned the owner of the stall, and said in his heart Which young master is this? Write a few words and actually reward one or two, today's spread is really cost-effective!
The boss hurriedly put on a smile, turned around and took out the best sprinkled gold paper, Zihao pen and pine smoke ink from the wooden box behind him, and took out a fine stone inkstone, specially studied ink for Shao Xi, dipped the Zihao pen in ink, licked the tip of the pen, and respectfully handed it to Shao Xi's hands with both hands.
Shao Xi took the pen and glanced at the pot of daisies next to the stall, without thinking too much, raised his hand and wrote on the gold-sprinkled paper:
The golden autumn moon is half full of light,
Crisp hands picked chrysanthemum yellow.
Chang'e Guanghan chases the jade rabbit,
Pick up the axe and lean on Gui to sleep Wu Gang.
After writing, Shao Xi returned the pen to the boss, shook the gold-sprinkled paper in his hand, and handed it to Luan Xiu after the ink was dry.
Luan Xiu held the poem in her hand and whispered it twice, untied a thin ribbon from her wrist, rolled up the gold-sprinkled paper, tied it, and carefully put it into her small and delicate satchel.
After putting it away, he looked up at Shao Xi with tender eyes, and for a while he looked at Shao Xi a little embarrassed, and secretly wondered if this girl would be wrong? But it's hard to explain.
The owner of the calligraphy and painting stall on the side mistakenly thought that the two people in front of him were a little couple, so he gave his hand and blessed: "The two talented women are really a pair of beautiful people made in heaven. ”
Shao Xi listened, good guy! You talk a lot, it's too condescending to set up a calligraphy and painting stall here, and you should go to the wedding company to be the master of ceremonies.
But where are you talking about? What kind of mess is messing around here?
Although she was slightly dissatisfied in her heart, she couldn't explain much when she looked at Luan Xiu who was flushed next to her, so as not to make her feel more embarrassed, so she thanked Luan Xiu and hurriedly left here.
The heart said, hurry up and stay away from him, just like this for a while, the whole white-headed old man, children and grandchildren are full of people, if you stay any longer, you can't make a life to be the same, death to the same hole?
When encountering this kind of big mouth full of kindness and bad deeds, you don't blame him, don't blame him, it's better to stay away from him.
After Shao Xi pulled Luan Xiu out for a while, he looked back and saw that Luan Xiu's face was like drinking a jar of old roast, which was even more red than just now.
When he looked down again, he realized that he had been holding Luan Xiu's hand, and at this time, Shao Xi had already felt that the soft little hand was already slightly wet, and he was obviously so nervous that his palms were sweating.
Shao Xi, who realized that he was rude, quickly let go of his hand and hurriedly apologized to Luan Xiu.
It's okay not to apologize, but as soon as he apologized, Luan Xiu's face blushed even more, and fine sweat already broke out slightly on his forehead.
Since childhood, no man has ever held his hand, and these days when Shao Xi instructs him in martial arts, although occasionally the hands of the two will touch, but they are also a little touched, and they never exceed the rules.
Shao Xi held his hand in his palm for so long so realistically, which made Luan Xiu feel the strength of a man's wide palm and the temperature of his palm for the first time in his life.
In the modern world, it is very common to hold hands with girls, but after Shao Xi traveled through so many years, he gradually began to follow the ancient etiquette.
Although the Jingyuan Dynasty has an open atmosphere and does not have too many restrictions on women, the skin-to-skin intimacy of men and women is still relatively sensitive.
Although it has not reached the level of marrying someone back after holding hands, the hand-holding between men and women must at least be in love with each other or have a very close relationship.
Although Shao Xi and Luan Xiu are now in the same family, they are not brothers and sisters after all, so running around the street holding hands like this is indeed a little too close.
Although it was Shao Xi's unintentional move, it was equivalent to throwing a stone in Luan Xiu's heart lake, and I don't know how long it would take for this series of ripples to dissipate?
Facing Luan Xiu, Shao Xi scratched his head, he didn't know how to explain for a while, and he didn't even know whether to explain or not, and at this time there was only an embarrassment on his face.
Luan Xiu looked at the high-spirited and uninhibited Shao Xi on weekdays, and couldn't help but laugh out loud when she was at a loss.
She finally found a balance with Shao Xi in one thing, it turned out that he was not much braver than herself in the face of this man and woman.
Although she is full of admiration for Shao Xi in her heart, Luan Xiu also knows very well that Shao Xi is young and promising, and the future must be limitless, and one day she will become an existence that is looked up to by the entire martial arts and even the whole world, and she is just an ordinary little girl on Lingyu Mountain.
Although she is the head of the Thousand Feather Sect, in front of Shao Xi, she feels that she is extremely small, and she is not worthy of this martial arts wizard who will be admired by thousands of people in the future, and the gap between herself and him is too big!
It is a great fortune to be able to be a brother and sister in the same family with him in this life, and he should be satisfied.
Shao Xi watched Luan Xiu, the girl, keep staring at him, and he didn't know what she was thinking, he just hoped that this girl wouldn't misunderstand herself.
So he said to Luan Xiu without words: "Let's go!" We went to buy some Mid-Autumn Festival cakes and brought them back to honor a few uncles and uncles, lest they say that we only know how to play and forget about them. ”
Luan Xiu showed her sweet smile again, and that smile was full of happiness and satisfaction.
For her, being able to spend such a period of time with Shao Xi was the happiest thing in her life, so she nodded obediently, and took the initiative to take Shao Xi's arm and continue to walk forward.
After the two of them bought the cakes, they found that they couldn't go to the Lantern Festival with these big bags and small bags, so they found a big tree in a place where there were few people, and the two sat under the tree and ate the cakes.
Fortunately, I bought enough of them, otherwise I was afraid that the previous words of honoring a few uncles would become an empty word.
The two of them sat under the tree and just like that, I ate a bag of pastries in one piece, Luan Xiu slapped his hands after stuffing the last piece of cake into his mouth, and he was full.
took the water bladder handed by Shao Xi, raised his head and drank two small sips before handing it back, looking at the patches of lanterns and the crowded crowd in the distance, Luan Xiu sighed softly.
Reached out and took out a small and delicate sachet with beautiful workmanship from his small satchel, and stuffed it directly into Shao Xi's hand.
Shao Xi looked at the sachet in his hand and was stunned for a moment.
Can this thing be delivered casually?
Generally speaking, sachets are given by women to men, could it be that this girl really misunderstood herself and thought that she was interested in her?
"Senior brother, don't think too much, I know that you just treat me as your sister, and I also know that this kind of thing can't be forced, whether you are interested in me or not, you can't stop me from liking you, and there is no special point in giving you this sachet.
"This sachet contains the unique phoenix feather grass on Lingyu Mountain, each one has to grow for a hundred years to mature, the only mature one was made into this sachet by me, you can take it with you!"
"Even if you don't have a fortune cultivation, it will naturally nourish your qi sea, and it is an excellent grade to enhance your internal strength, and now I will give it to you, hoping that in the future you will become the supreme saint of martial arts."
When Luan Xiu said these words, her eyes were still looking at the crowd in the distance, but Shao Xi vaguely saw the glittering tears in her eyes.
