Chapter 754: New Festival
In Taiping Town, there are no pedestrians on the road today, and there are lights from house to house.
It's another New Year's Day, and on that round table, jugs of lukewarm wine and stacks of steaming dishes are placed on it. The relatives sitting together told their thoughts and raised their glasses and drank wine.
The old man looked at the children and grandchildren who were growing up slowly, and the people who had just returned home looked at the children who seemed to grow up overnight, and they couldn't help but feel a little sentimental.
And at the noisy dinner table, in the busy kitchen, both men and women have more or less happy smiles on their faces. Such a scene, although simple, is also the happiest moment of the year.
However, this kind of happiness is not available to everyone.
In this Taiping Town, there will always be a few families, and they can only spend this lively day alone.
At the end of the alley, there is only one zhang in the courtyard with the river.
Someone ordered a whole pot of dumplings for himself, and also took out a jar of wine that he was reluctant to drink.
Tonight's rain, I didn't wear my favorite red clothes. Because of this cold night, she had to wrap herself in a cotton jacket and warm the stove in order to celebrate the New Festival with the peach and plum trees in the courtyard.
Incarnated as a mortal, she no longer has a spirit body, but the loneliness and sadness that often occur will not disappear.
Under the swaying lantern, it is actually the moonlight shining brightly, although it is only a ghostly light, but it is a perfect match for the scenery and love.
Holding the wooden chopsticks, he took three bites of a dumpling, but the wine in his hand was always drunk, and even drank a little too fast......
The wine she drank was not brewed by herself, but the 'osmanthus brewed'!
This wine, with the departure of the old man who sold wine, has become a unique product, and there is no longer anything to sell in the town. And most of the ones that can be saved are bought at a high price by the rain. I was reluctant to drink it, but tonight, one person drank the whole jar.
She celebrated the New Festival alone, and on the square table, there were thick books.
These books are not her stories, but the biographies of the deceased people she wrote.
Sunshine in Taiping Town, she never imagined that she would write so many words and create so many biographies of the deceased.
A 'Legend of Shui Wentian', a 'Biography of Shen Jingtian', a 'Biography of Fang Huizhi', a 'Biography of the Sixth Generation', a 'Biography of Watergate', and a 'Biography of the Second Prince of Tao'......
These old people who have appeared in their lives and amazed themselves, except for that Gongsun Hong, Yan Yu has written a complete story for them. In these stories, the rain arranges a happy ending for them. Some are selfish. Others are all selfish.
After all, it was written by Yan Yu himself, where else can there be any objectivity...... In this regard, she does not force herself, and writes as she likes. After all, this book is for oneself to read, to move oneself, where do they need to evaluate!!
A cup of 'osmanthus brew' went down to the stomach, and after paying tribute to the venerable old man after a cup, Li Yu was also drunk and hazy, and returned to the room alone.
That night, she slept soundly, although she woke up in pain and dizziness, and it was extremely uncomfortable. But when I think back to the Taiping Town I saw in my dream, all I can do is have a smile on my face.
After freshening up, the rain carried the chaise longue and warmed the small purple teapot, and lay in the courtyard, quietly looking at the sky and feeling the peaceful time.
Today, just after the New Year, no merchant will open a store, and Xiao Zhang will not come with a cart, and he is also happy.
Looking at the sky, warm with the rain of the small purple teapot, I don't know if it was because of the strength of last night's wine, after closing my eyes, I have fallen asleep again.
While she was asleep, a man wrapped in a thick cotton jacket and a high hat covering her ears greeted her in the alley.
In his arms, he held a cloth wrap with cured bacon inside.
When the man reached the side door of the courtyard, he knocked on the wooden door and shouted, "Miss Di...... Girl ......"
In the dream, Yu sat up lazily, and when he heard the sound outside the hospital, he knew that Xiao Zhang was coming.
Looking at the sky, it was still early in the morning, but I only felt that I had slept for a long time.
Stretching his body, he put down the small purple teapot, and the rain who was tidying up his clothes answered, but he didn't go to the side door.
After a while, Yu Yu held a jar of specially brewed 'peach blossom wine' from the cellar before opening the door bolt.
"Happy New Year, Miss Li......" Seeing the door open, looking at the rain who was holding the wine jar with a smile, Xiao Zhang bent down and said.
When Yu Yu replied, he saw the cloth package in Xiao Zhang's arms, and replied with some disgust, "How are you... Why did you send bacon again? I don't like to eat these salty things......"
"Okay... I didn't warm up in the bed in the cold morning, and you still disliked it when I brought you bacon......" Listening to the words of Yan Yu's disgust, looking at Yan Yu's disgusted face, Xiao Zhang stomped his feet and shouted.
"Haha, teasing you. By the way, how is your father?" Haha laughed, Yu hugged the wine jar and hit Xiao Zhang with his arm, and asked about Lao Zhang.
"It's a good problem, I can't get my legs off the ground in the cold winter, it's not a big deal......" lowered his head slightly, Xiao Zhang said.
Seeing this, Yan Yu didn't say much more, and handed the wine jar he was holding to Xiao Zhang and instructed: "Well, you can take this wine back." It is equipped with medicinal herbs, and it will give your father two cups a day to relieve his leg cold......"
Nodding, Xiao Zhang no longer had the restraint of the year, grabbed the wine jar with one hand, and handed the cloth bag holding the bacon to Yan Yu.
"Okay, girl, I'm going back, I still have to be busy at home......" As he spoke, Xiao Zhang bent down again.
"Well, go back, take your dad to say hello for me......" Nodding, Yu Yu replied.
In response, Xiao Zhang went back, he was a simple person. The rain was good to him, he knew. I am good to the rain, and I know the rain. There is no need for too much politeness between them, and he will take the wine that Li Yu gave him. If something happens to the rain, he will ignore everything and help!
Outside the door, Yan Yu looked at Xiao Zhang's departing back, tilted his head, and muttered in his heart: "Xiao Zhang is not young anymore, one day I have to find that Wang Da matchmaker to come over and tell him about kissing......"
Nodding his head secretly, Yu Yu closed the door and returned to the courtyard.
After Xiao Zhang's stirring, he was completely sleepy, so he had to move out of the wooden table and paper to write the unfinished 'Biography of the Second Prince of Peach'......
Time is slow, and with the arrival of spring, everything has come back to life.
In the small alleys of Taiping Town, the noise of the past has returned to the past, and neither the bargaining shopkeeper nor the guest is willing to back down, and in the gentle spring breeze, Gu Gongzi, who is dressed in a white shirt, leads the horse again.
His appearance caused a brief silence in this rendered alley.
All the shops and customers stopped bargaining, but when they looked at Gu Gongzi, they couldn't help but laugh secretly.
If you ask the reason, since the big matchmaker Wang can't control her mouth, she has already told everyone in Taiping Town that she is in love with Gu Gongzi......
Along the way, looking at those strange people who looked at him with strange smiles, Gu Gongzi's face was full of doubts, but he didn't ask anyone. Just because the eyes of those people were too strange, he didn't dare to talk to these people.
"This is Gu Gongzi of 'Songyuan Town', he is indeed worthy of the name of Yashimei......" In the gold and silver shop, the female customer looked at Gu Gongzi who was walking by with a horse, and said to the shopkeeper.
"Hmph, then I don't think I'm worthy of Miss Di......" The shopkeeper replied a little indignantly, obviously not liking this Gu Gongzi very much......
"Shopkeeper Song, this is the son of Gu Dashan's family, right?" In the silk shop, the customer looked at Gu Gongzi, who had just passed by, and asked the shopkeeper.
"Hehe, do you see, I'm fascinated by our boss......" Covering his mouth and smiling secretly, the indescribable pride in the eyes of Shopkeeper Song......
"Alas...... The boss is going to get married, so we don't have to drink......" In the tea shop, looking at Gu Gongzi who walked in front of the store, the boss sighed a little.
"Nonsense, I heard Mrs. Wang say that the boss is a door-to-door colt...... the proprietress on the side slapped the boss and whispered in her ear......
In the 'Millennium Wine', Yan Yu had already prepared his bags, and even borrowed a white horse from the money shopkeeper, just waiting for Gu Gongzi's arrival.
The letter saying that he would come to Taiping Town today and travel to 'Baicui Mountain' with him was stored in the boudoir. The man in the white shirt, who had been looking forward to it, also led the horse, and finally arrived in the early morning.
Looking at the white horse tied in front of the wine shop, Gu Gongzi nodded and smiled, but he never entered the store.
For the door that had been used to seal the shop had already been closed, leaving only a few pieces, and it was evident that the shopkeeper had been a little impatient to wait......
After tidying up his clothes, Gu Gongzi led the horse, stood outside the wine shop, and coughed a few times.
After three breaths, I saw Yu running out excitedly.
"Miss Yan, when are you leaving?" Glancing at Yan Yu with a smile, Gu Gongzi withdrew his gaze, Shi Li arched his hand, and asked Yan Yu.
Reaching out and pressing down Gu Gongzi's arched hand, Yan Yu said expectantly: "Let's go, I've been waiting for a long time." I heard that the 'White Green Mountain' will be full of snow-white flowers today, and if you don't look at it, it will wither......"
As he spoke, the rain was very fast and quickly turned onto the white horse, and looked at Gu Gongzi who was a little surprised.
"The girl is good at riding, ......" sighed, Gu Gongzi untied the horse rope for the rain, and then got on his horse without hurrying.
In the small alleys of Taiping Town at this moment, except for the 'hundred-year-old wine' that had not yet been opened, all the shops and customers were hidden under the eaves, covering their mouths and snickering and looking at Yan Yu and Gu Gongzi.
Gu Gongzi, who was walking slowly on a horse, naturally discovered everyone's voyeuristic behavior, and when he was puzzled, he had to look at the helpless rain with a face.
"Leave them alone, they are all idle and have nothing to do......" Looking at Gu Gongzi, Yu Yu explained, but looking back at the familiar faces in the alley, he gave a roll of his eyes......
Two horses, a man and a woman, left the alley and left Taiping Town. Along the way, there were people talking and laughing towards the 'White Green Mountain'. However, at this time, Taiping Town smashed the pot......
All of a sudden, the shops of the major restaurants and the shops that often have dealings with the rain began to prepare congratulatory gifts to show their hearts. First, it is the popularity of the rain that is really good in Taiping Town. Second, it is the identity of Gu Gongzi as the son of Gu Dashanren, and these shopkeepers all want to ......
