"Of course it's true." I don't know if it's true or not. Maybe it's just a subtle feeling. I always feel that Brick is different to Yang Mengying. Although I can't be sure, I can only say this to Yang Mengying now.
"Then why doesn't he want to get married with me?" Yang Mengying still looked at me with expectation.
"Well, this..." I made up a story, "Because today is not an auspicious day. If we want to get married, according to the rules of our ancestors, we must choose an auspicious day. When Brick forced Taozi and I to get married, he also chose a good day for marriage."
"So that's how it is." Yang Mengying said happily, "Then I have to look through the almanac and pick a day that's suitable for us to get married!" Then she said excitedly, "Who has an almanac? Take it out and let me see it?" We all shook our heads. Who would carry that thing with them? Yang Mengying turned around and looked at the classmates in our class and said, "Who has an almanac? Take it out and let me see it."
I didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "Don't look for it, it's impossible for someone to have this thing. Let's find a fortune teller to ask after a few days." In fact, it was just an excuse to delay time. But a weak voice rang out in the corner of the classroom: "I have it." Several of us almost fainted on the ground. Is there really someone with this thing? Yang Mengying ran to the person in two or three steps: "Hurry up and take it out. I'll pick a good day for me and the brick to get married!"
We also walked up to the student, and saw that he really took out a booklet from the desk drawer. It was indeed a very standard almanac. I asked with a smile, "Why do you still have this thing with you?" The student said, "My father does this, and I learned it when I have nothing to do. After all, it is a skill. If I can't get into college in the future, I can set up a stall to help people tell fortunes."
"Great, please help me figure out when is the best time to get married!"
"Well, I'm just a mediocre person. In fact, I know nothing about it. Please don't be offended if I make mistakes." The student began to look through the almanac.
I couldn't help but sigh that there are so many experts among the people, even fortune tellers. While the student was looking through the almanac, Yang Mengying looked down at the scarf in her hand and asked quietly, "Brother Hao, why doesn't Brick want to wear the scarf I knitted?"
I could only say, "Maybe he doesn't think the weather is cold enough."
Yang Mengying thought for a moment, shook her head and said, "I think it's because this scarf is too ugly." Then she unfolded the scarf and said, "Look, the color is not good, and the lines are not even, like a crooked snake. But there is nothing I can do. This is my first time knitting, so this is my level."
I smiled and said, "It's a little ugly, but it's your thoughtfulness. And it's pretty good that you knitted it for the first time. If I were to knit it, I'm afraid I wouldn't be as good as you." Then I touched the scarf and said, "It's quite warm. Brick doesn't know how lucky he is." Lei Yu and the others also echoed, "That's right, Brick doesn't know how lucky he is. Why don't you let us wear it? We will definitely cherish and protect it."
"Hey, that won't work." Yang Mengying said with a smile, "I knitted this for Brick." Then she said to me, "Brother Hao, I will go back and study it carefully and knit a beautiful scarf for Brick. But my skills are not good enough, and I don't know how long it will take to finish it. The temperature will definitely drop in a few days, so you can go back and give this scarf to him and let him wear it for now. I will give it to him when I have knitted a new one." Then she handed the scarf to me.
I took the ugly gray scarf and said, "No problem."
At this time, the student who was looking through the almanac said, "Yes. On the ninth day of the third month, it is a good day for marriage and praying for blessings, but it is not a good day for coffining or burying."
"Ha, it's a good day." Yang Mengying counted on her fingers and said, "It seems like there are only a few days left. I have to go back and prepare well to make the wedding ceremony for me and Brick a lively one. Brother Hao, I'm leaving first!" Then she left very happily.
I watched Yang Mengying leave with a smile, but in fact I didn't take it seriously at all.
At that time, I didn’t know that day would become one of the days I would never forget.
March 9th.
It is auspicious for getting married and praying for blessings, but not for coffining and burying.
In March, peach blossoms and snow covered the city of Beiyuan. The flashes of swords and shadows were cold, and the ground of Beiqi was covered with red.
