Ten thousand people think gloom is reborn

The restaurant owned by Lin Chongtan had a very good viewing position. I stood by the window, eating the candied haws that Liangji bought for me, while watching the juggling below.

Originally in Gusu, my father would directly invite the juggling troupe into the mansion. I watched it very seriously every time, but for some reason tonight, my mind was distracted frequently.

Although his eyes were on the jugglers below, his mind couldn't stop running to Lin Chongtan.Does he remember what happened that night?He also drank at that time, maybe he forgot, no, he could even send me back to school and play the flute for me, so he should remember.

The more I thought about it, the more irritable I became. I bit down the candied haws hard, but accidentally bit my tongue. The pain made me take a deep breath.

"Master Chun, what's the matter with you?" Liangji asked next to him.

I still had the candied haws in my mouth, and my voice was a bit vague when I answered, "I bit... my tongue."

Liangji approached me, "Let me take a look."

I pushed the candied haws into my cheeks and opened my mouth slightly.Liangji looked at the light, "It seems to be biting a bit hard, Master Chun, wait a minute, they brought medicine out."

Liangji walked away, I still opened my mouth, because I still had candied haws in my mouth, I didn't feel the secretion of body fluid.I frowned, and wanted to look for Liangji's figure to see if he had returned with the medicine, but I accidentally ran into Lin Chongtan's sight.

He is looking at me.

My first reaction was to turn my face away, and my lips were also closed due to tension.By the time I realized that my reaction was wrong, Lin Chongtan no longer looked at me.

He stood with his cousin, talking softly, and the cousin looked at Lin Chongtan with admiration in his eyes.

"Ah, are those Shizhi and Qiuqiao?" Cousin Wan suddenly pointed to a place below, and Cousin Qiong looked carefully at the side, "It's them, they also came out to play."

The Shi Zhi and Qiu Qiao mentioned by the cousin are the daughters of Shi Yushi's family. They have no elder brothers in their family, and only maidservants and servants are with them at this time.There are so many people downstairs, the two girls are inevitably squeezed.

Lin Chongtan knew that the daughter of the imperial historian was watching juggling below, so he said a few words to his cousins ​​first, and then asked the big maid next to cousin Wan to invite the two daughters of the imperial historian to come up.After he ordered the maidservant, he looked at me again, "Xiaodi, let's go down for a walk."

My cousin is still young, so you don't have to shy away from seeing your daughter-in-law, but Lin Chongtan and I are not suitable to stay here.Although I didn't want to get along with him, I had no choice but to go with him.

When we left the restaurant, there were more pedestrians than when we came here, many of them were gorgeously dressed teenagers and girls. They were bathed in the light, and their sleeves were full of fragrance.In fact, I also dressed up tonight.

I often wear blue and white student clothes in the dormitories. Taking advantage of the festival, I change into a lavender soft smoke brocade shirt, and I also change the aromatherapy bag that usually hangs around my waist.

Not long after I walked with Lin Chongtan, I found several sachets in his arms.

Qiqiao Festival is a festival for the daughter's family, and many women will go out tonight.On this day, they can boldly express their love to men, and the way to express their love is to send their own sachets.

Lin Chongtan handed the sachets thrown into his arms to Qingqiu, but he only handed out a few, and there was another one in his arms in a blink of an eye.

After throwing away the sachet, the girl who gave the sachet walked away quickly under the escort of the maid, her face flushed with shame.

After a while, Qing Qiu simply put the sachet for Lin Chongtan in a bag.I looked at Liangji, and Liangji noticed that I was looking at him, and said to me consciously and smartly: "Master Chun, don't be afraid, I have prepared a bag."

His voice was so loud that the people next to him heard it when he spoke.

I heard Bai Chi's muffled laughter.

This Liangji really pissed me off.

"Master Chun, don't go so fast, wait for me!"

I didn't want to stay with the idiot Liangji anymore, so I walked briskly forward, but within a few steps, my wrist was pulled.

The person pulling me was Lin Chongtan.

"There are many people tonight, don't wander around." He said to me.

I glanced at his hand holding my wrist, feeling a little uncomfortable, "I know." As soon as I said that, he let go of my hand, and said to Liangji who was chasing up: "Watch out for your young master .”

Liangji nodded hurriedly, and moved closer to me, "Master Chun, you walked so fast just now, I almost couldn't catch up."

I glared at Liangji, "Speak less today."

Although Liangji didn't understand why I suddenly attacked him, he nodded honestly.

There is a bird bridge in the capital, which is named because sparrows like to stay there. During the Qiqiao Festival, the bird bridge becomes a magpie bridge.Before we knew it, we came to the Que Bridge. There is a legend on the Que Bridge. It is said that if a pair of caring people walk back and forth on the Que Bridge seven times, they will be able to give birth.

At this time, many people were walking on it, and I was thinking whether to go around the bridge, when I saw Lin Chongtan stepping on the stone steps of the bridge first.Because he walked up, I had to follow.There were more people on the bridge than the juggling place just now. Liangji and I were dispersed by the crowd. When I was calling Liangji's name, a hand stretched out from the front diagonally and pulled me over.

It was Lin Chongtan.

He first took my arm, and after I was pulled to his side, that hand turned to my shoulder, and I almost walked forward in his arms.

The overly ambiguous posture made me want to struggle immediately, but he didn't let go as before, but exerted some force instead.

"Xiao Di, help me down." His voice rang in my ears.

There were too many people on the bridge, and I was squeezed closer and closer to Lin Chongtan's arms, "How can you help me?"

"Just don't move." Lin Chongtan said.

I didn't understand it at first, but later I discovered the problem. It turned out that not long after Lin Chongtan got on the bridge, a girl ran into his arms and stuffed a sachet into his hands and belt with her own hands.I know that the people in the capital are open and open, but I didn't expect those girls to be so bold, making Lin Chongtan, who has always been calm and reserved, helpless and could only hug me in his arms.

But it hurt me.

I don't want to be that close to Lin Chongtan, especially after the incident where I got drunk that night.Now that she is so close to him, she smells the fragrance of his body again in her nose, and there is a faint scent of medicine under the fragrance.

After finally getting down from the Magpie Bridge, Liangji and others disappeared.

Lin Chongtan and I stood not far from under the Que Bridge and waited. Pedestrians passed by like a cloud, and only Lin Chongtan and I were still.He looked at the sparkling lake water under the moonlight, and the brilliance seemed to be reflected in his eyes.I rarely talk to him like this, don't say anything, just stay quietly.

Not long after, Liangji and others came to find him.

We walked around for a while before returning to the restaurant.The two daughters who served the censor's family had already left, and the seven-hole needles they used to compete with their cousin were left on the table.

"Brother Tan, shall we compare this?" My cousin always wanted to play, but the girls didn't want to compare with him, so he had to find Lin Chongtan to compare.

The seven-hole needle is a game played by the daughter's family during the Qiqiao Festival. The daughter's house faces the moon and uses five-color silk threads to pass through the seven-hole needle.

Lin Chongtan agreed in a good-tempered manner. He obviously gave water to his cousin. After his cousin won, he was so happy that he reached out to ask Lin Chongtan for a gift.

"I didn't bring a gift with me, how about this jade pendant." Lin Chongtan wanted to take off the jade pendant, but was stopped by his cousin.

"Brother Tan, I don't want a jade pendant. Draw me a picture." My cousin said, "I heard from my father that Brother Tan's paintings are very good."

As soon as he finished speaking, the two cousins ​​expressed that they would also compare themselves with Lin Chongtan.

Sure enough, Lin Chongtan exported three paintings in one go.

I looked at them in harmony, and slowly turned my face away.

The cousins ​​seemed to feel that I was being neglected, so they took the initiative to ask, "Cousin Chun, do you want to try it too?"

I glanced at Lin Chongtan who was asking my cousin what painting he wanted, and pursed my lower lip, "No, I don't know how to play with this."

I don't care much about Lin Chongtan's paintings, why compare them with him.

After returning home, I went back to the room and found that Liangji had turned the seven-hole needle.He is also interested in the seven-hole needle, sitting under the window and struggling to wear it.I saw that he couldn't wear it well for a long time, so I couldn't help but say, "I'll try it."

Liangji handed me the seven-hole needle and muttered, "I just saw how fast they were worn."

I got dressed in a short while, Liangji showed a surprised expression, "Wow, Master Chun, you dressed so fast."

"It's very simple." After being praised by Liangji, I couldn't help but curl my lips.

Liangji said again: "If you compete with the second young master, you will definitely win the gift from the second young master."

He suddenly mentioned Lin Chongtan, and the joy in my heart disappeared instantly.I returned the seven-hole needle to Liangji, "Put it on, I'm going to take a shower."

On the third day of Humu, something happened.

It is said that my father sent a boat to the capital, and the boat was full of gifts for the third uncle's family.The two cousins ​​are both optimistic about him, and the time to leave the cabinet is very close.The third uncle is clean, and the third aunt doesn't have a lot of money. The arrival of this boat of gifts can be said to have solved the dowry problem of the two cousins ​​to a large extent.

Why do I say it’s said, because I didn’t know about my father’s delivery of presents. I only found out when the ship landed and started unloading.

Lin Chongtan was in charge of this matter, and the gift only said that it was a begging festival gift for the two cousins.

Of course, apart from the two cousins, the third aunt and cousin also received presents, and even Lin Chongtan sent someone to deliver gifts to the aunts in the third uncle's backyard.

As for the third uncle, Lin Chongtan just played a game of chess with the third uncle.

Liangji heard about these things.

Liangji described to me that there were so many presents that the courtyard couldn’t fit them, and he also told me that the eyes of the cousins ​​were red when they received the presents.

There is no one in the daughter's family who doesn't care about their dowry. The dowry is meager, so it is inevitable that they will be looked down upon by the man, but their father has always kept his hands clean.

Now this boat of gifts has completely settled their hearts.

"Second young master saw me and told me not to spread the matter to the outside world." Liangji asked puzzledly, "Why can't this matter be revealed?"

I put down my teacup, "Because third uncle wants to save face. Didn't you see that the unloading is done at night? Just tell me about it, don't go out and chew your tongue."

Compared with the bustle in my cousin's yard, my side is quiet. No one came to my side in the past two days, and Liangji, who always likes to join in the fun, didn't go out.When asked why, he refused to tell the truth, only that there was nothing fun outside.

I know what he is thinking, he has been secretly comparing with Lin Chongtan's book boy Qingqiu and Bai Chi.Because of the gift, the status of Qing Qiu and Bai Chi in the third uncle's house has risen. When the servants saw him, they all called Qing Qiu brother, Bai Chi brother, Liangji or Liangji, and he got angry.

I feel a little sorry for Liangji. If Liangji was not with me, he wouldn't have to live so aggrieved.

After the rest and bathing, I returned to the dormitory, but there was an extra box in the room while I was taking a bath.Liangji was standing beside the box, and when he saw me coming out, he quickly stood up, "Master Chun, this was sent by Qingqiu and Bai Chi, and said that the second young master asked them to deliver it."

My eyes lit up. Did my father prepare a gift for me this time?

I opened the box with my own hands, and the things inside are very miscellaneous, almost everything from food to use, full of new gadgets, which I have never seen before, and there is a scroll of paintings stuck in the far corner.

I unfolded the painting, and on the scroll was the glitzy and beautiful capital city market with Danying carvings, under the melting moonlight, like dragon lanterns, as if they had the power to illuminate the heavens.On Qingshi Street, teenagers and girls in gorgeous clothes are surrounded by servants Cuiweizhu and move forward.

Somebody lost a purple silk handkerchief, and the silk handkerchief was rolled up by the summer wind, lingering in the air on the magpie bridge.

There are a few small characters written on the back of the picture scroll - "Night Tour Qiqiao Festival".

"Wow, this drawing is too good." Liangji has already praised.

I thought the same way in my heart, I couldn't help reaching out to touch the painting, the people and scenery in the painting seemed to be in front of my eyes, lifelike.

The owner of the painting is self-evident, and he actually gave me a painting.

Although I don't like Lin Chongtan, his painting is so good that I couldn't help but look at it several times before going to bed.

Before going to bed, I asked Liangji to help me put away the paintings.

—

The next day, the first class is a painting class.

Ming Dianxue, who taught painting, gave us homework, and handed it in after returning to school. I took out the paintings I had drawn during the rest period from my book bag and tied them with ribbons of my name and handed them in.

After a while, I heard the voice of Ming Dianxue clapping his hands and laughing, his tone was full of joy, "What a night tour, Qiqiao Festival, the so-called word cloud' Xingqiao fire tree, Chang'an overnight, blooming red lotus and ten thousand pistils. Luo Neng took advantage of the mid-month spring, the wind and dew are fine, the sky is clear like water. The heavy city is closed to the moon, the brothel is full of music, and people are in the silver shadow...'Lin Chundi, your painting is so good. "

I raised my head, and was surprised to find that Ming Dianxue took the "Night Tour and Qiqiao Festival" given to me by Lin Chongtan, not the "Summer Night Night" painted by myself.

Liangji took the wrong picture.

I opened my mouth to explain, but Ming Dianxue started to praise the painting again, and the students from the same dormitory also surrounded it, and they talked a lot, with surprise in their eyes and praise in their mouths.

This is the first time I have been praised by Dianxue and others.

Before I knew it, I closed my lips that wanted to explain, and my palms clenched under my sleeves were sweating.

The author has something to say:
