Walking on the long street today, the feeling is different from the past.
Song Qingxue looked at the people coming and going and couldn't help but grin.
"It's the first time in a long time that I see so many people on this street."
Song Qingxue and Xiahou Chongyuan walked side by side. Song Qingxue loved to look around and see new things, so Xiahou Chongyuan followed her the whole time.
A girl selling wreaths on the roadside was shouting, and she immediately attracted Song Qingxue's attention.
"How much is this wreath?" Song Qingxue walked quickly to the petite girl, pointed at a wreath made of mountain flower vines, and asked the price with a smile.
The girl looked at her in silence for a moment, then immediately took down the wreath that she liked and handed it to her with both hands.
“This is free.”
"Ah?" Song Qingxue was stunned. "Aren't you selling this wreath?"
The girl tilted her head, looked at her and smiled faintly, and said: "Princess, you saved my mother's illness. I have nothing to repay you, so I will give you a wreath."
To be honest, Song Qingxue didn't have any impression of this little girl.
There were so many patients at the time that she was only focused on curing them and didn't pay attention to anything else.
However, one thing is for sure. Even if the little girl's mother was cured, she still had to pay for the things she bought.
But the little girl insisted not to do it.
I only heard the little girl say, "Princess, these flowers are picked from the mountain, they are free."
Song Qingxue originally wanted to force it on her, but after thinking about it, she accepted the wreath from the little girl.
She lowered her head and said, "Girl, please help me put it on."
"Oh!" The little girl was very happy. She took the wreath with both hands and carefully helped her put it on her head.
"My lady, you are so beautiful."
The little girl smiled very happily, her eyes were curved like crescent moons.
Song Qingxue thanked him with a smile and continued walking forward.
But before leaving, he did not forget to signal Xiahou Chongyuan to give him money.
Song Qingxue walked along the way and bought a lot of things, but the people were so grateful to them for driving away disasters and epidemics in Xunnan that no one was willing to take any money from them.
Song Qingxue knew that she couldn't refuse, so she stopped trying and just asked Xiahou Chongyuan to follow behind and pay the money.
She found it very magical. Why did these vendors refuse to take her money no matter how much she persuaded them? But after Xiahou Chongyuan said a few words, they took her money?
Song Qingxue was puzzled and couldn't help but nudged Xiahou Chongyuan with her elbow and asked, "My Lord, what did you say to them? Why did they take your money so easily?"
"I said, it's only natural for me to buy things for my wife."
"Ah? I don't believe it." She didn't believe that such words would come out of Xiahou Chongyuan's mouth!
etc!
wife?
"Who is your wife?" Song Qingxue distanced herself from him in disdain and said, "Don't talk nonsense."
"oh."
The two walked in a subtle atmosphere. Song Qingxue felt embarrassed at the moment and lost interest in buying things, so she just walked straight towards Xiyue Lake.
When they arrived, they saw Yue Niang, dressed in gorgeous clothes, walking out of the flower boat accompanied by two little girls.
“Wow!”
Even standing on the shore, Song Qingxue could see clearly how elegantly Yue Niang was dressed.
Although Yue Niang is dressed in white from head to toe in order to match the moonlight's cool temperament, her outfit is complex and cage-like no matter how you look at it.
She felt that the hair accessories on Yue Niang’s head alone weighed ten kilograms!
No wonder they don’t want a delicate one. If they really choose a delicate one, I’m afraid she wouldn’t even be able to carry the headdress, let alone the dress with layer upon layer of layers.
However, the choice of Yue Niang is really good-looking.
Song Qingxue stared at her, and for a moment she couldn't think of any words to praise Yue Niang.
Her cool face and snow-white skin were rare. Even in a heavy dress, she was still so extraordinary that people felt as if she was about to ride on the clouds to Yujing City in the ninth heaven in the next second.
"The girls in the south are so beautiful. It turns out that the soil and water in the south are the best for beauties!"
Song Qingxue couldn't help but sigh.
She was originally from the north, and after traveling into the book, she also lived in the capital city in the north.
In my past and present lives, I have only seen the beauties from the south a few times.
During the time in Xunnan, she had seen enough.
Girls from the south are really pretty, with big eyes and small faces.
If you laugh and then call someone "brother" or "sister", that would really make people's bones melt.
Song Qingxue was lost in thought, but Xiahou Chongyuan beside her was not happy. He put his arm around her shoulders and whispered in her ear, "I think the women in the north are truly stunning."
"Ah?" Song Qingxue was stunned at first, then nodded and said in agreement: "Indeed, most people in the south are the kind of girls who are small and pretty, while people in the north are more generous. They are all good, all good!"
Xiahou Chongyuan: “…”
Although it wasn't the same meaning as what he said, but when you think about it carefully, there seemed to be something wrong with what she said.
The ceremony of Yue Niang's boating on the lake began. A little girl came out holding a bouquet of flowers and handed it to Yue Niang very solemnly.
Yue Niang stood at the bow holding flowers, and the flower boat slowly rowed towards the center of the lake. Several flower boats behind followed closely and circled around Yue Niang's boat and stopped steadily on both sides.
Suddenly, someone lowered the boards on both sides of the flower boat and placed them between the boats, connecting several flower boats together.
When the girls standing on the flower boats on both sides saw that the board was stable, they immediately took the things in their hands and went to the flower boat in the middle.
A worship altar was quickly set up on the bow of the boat, and someone was instructing Yue Niang in the movements.
After the ceremony, by the time they actually worshipped the Moon Goddess and offered flowers, it was already dark.
A crescent moon hung in the boundless night sky. The clouds and stars seemed to know that someone on this land was worshipping the moon today, and none of them came out to steal the moon's limelight.
If the moon is bright on this day, it is a good sign for the people of Xunnan, indicating that they will have good weather and good harvests in the coming year.
Yue Niang, holding the flowers, finally knelt down facing the bright moon, and then raised the flowers high with both hands.
The bouquet was taken away and carefully placed on the altar, and then Yue Niang kowtowed three times to the bright moon.
After the kowtow ceremony was completed, the little girl next to her hurried forward to help her up.
The next part is the segment where Yue Niang performs dance and prays for blessings.
This part is quite interesting. Yue Niang needs to take off her heavy dress and then dance on the water.
The place for Yue Niang to dance is a glazed platform hidden under the water. If someone steps on it, the water surface is only as high as the instep of the person's feet.
In order to create the effect of a flying moon goddess, she tied a rope around her waist so that she could hang in the air and land.
Under the lights of the night, the glazed platform in the water is completely invisible. The beautiful Moon Lady dances barefoot on the water, looking like a fairy who is not of this world.
While Yue Niang was dancing, the people on the shore would throw flowers into the lake and pray to the Moon Goddess.
Song Qingxue stared at him intently, and even Xiahou Chongyuan couldn't help but take a few more glances.
The beauty under the moon is dancing with flowers. Even gods would stop for a moment when seeing her.
However, this beauty did not last until the end of the dance, as an accident occurred on the scene.
The rope around Yue Niang's waist broke, and at the moment it broke, she was hanging in the air.
Fortunately, Lin Xian, who was following Xiahou Chongyuan, reacted quickly. As soon as the rope broke, he flew over and narrowly caught Yue Niang.
I have to say that Yue Niang’s professional qualities are really good.
Even though the rope broke and almost cost her life, she continued dancing on the lake water after Lin Xian put her down.
Only after the dance was over did she bow gracefully and return to the flower boat.
Yue Niang performed a dance, and the process of the Moon Worship Festival was completely over. After experiencing a near miss, everyone asked about Yue Niang's condition, and after learning that she was fine, they all went home.
