The Qiqiao Festival is also known as the Qiqiao Festival. Its original meaning was simply "begging for dexterity", praying for one's own cleverness and dexterity so as to have a happy marriage. It is also a day for competing in dexterity and commending women's cleverness.
The embroidered brocade building is decorated with lights and colorful lanterns. On this day, women will show off their embroidery and needlework skills in the decorated building.
Or they can invite sisters and friends to bathe, light incense, and then watch the stars and pray silently under the moon, or walk out of the boudoir to play. In short, it is the most comfortable and proud day for the girls in the boudoir.
Later, as it was passed down to the present day, the customs also changed. The festival originally for women was gradually extended to men, adding some prayers and expectations for happy love, a happy family, and even reading and writing and worshiping Kuixing.
The Northern Yan Kingdom advocated free love between men and women, so the bustling crowds on the streets were not just women, there were also some well-dressed young men passing by, bathing, burning incense, and wearing folding fans.
Shen Wuyou was dazzled by the sight at first glance. Even when he was walking around, someone would unexpectedly stuff a gorgeous and beautiful sachet into his mouth.
She held it curiously in her hand, until she looked up and saw the man in blue smiling at her, then she suddenly realized -
Was she being solicited?
Then she looked at the lively and joyful children around her, the shy whispers of the girls in the boudoir after throwing away their purses, and the various purses at the feet of the elegant young man who was reciting poems and painting on the high platform, and she suddenly understood!
Men give sachets and women throw purses, this is the meaning of a blind date meeting!
This sachet...
She suddenly felt a burning sensation in her palm, and quickly turned around and handed it to Ling Wangqing behind her. She smiled apologetically at the man in blue who was a few steps away from her and bowed slightly.
The man in blue, who was eagerly waiting, was obviously disappointed when he saw this scene, but the woman was so polite that he couldn't say much. He just felt annoyed that he was a step late, so he nodded slightly and smiled and returned the greeting.
A beautiful lady is a gentleman's dream.
But since I couldn't get what I wanted, I could only leave sadly.
Seeing the man leave, Shen Wuyou breathed a sigh of relief and sighed softly. He was a good man, handsome and polite. But he didn't know that she was a demon...
At this moment, she hadn't noticed that her melancholy look was clearly seen by the man in white holding the sachet behind her. He unconsciously increased the strength between his fingers, and then -
“Sizzle——”
The sachet burst.
Shen Wuyou heard the sound and looked over, his face suddenly filled with shock—
"This, this, this, this is very solid, right? How come it broke into two pieces! Sir, you..."
She looked up, but couldn't find the rest of the words. Ling Wangqing's unchanging, icy face had darkened a little, a rare moment. His cold, deep eyes held a hint of displeasure...
"Sir, are you... angry?" she asked angrily. Could it be that she was too reckless that time and offended someone?
But she really didn't even touch a hair! What was he worried about?
Could it be that he is a pure and innocent little virgin? !
Thinking of this, Shen Wuyou suddenly felt like a weird aunt touching him all over, which was very immoral. The guilt instantly reached its peak, so she tried to please him:
"I'm sorry about that... I didn't mean it... I won't do it again! I swear!"
As she spoke, she gently pulled out the broken sachet from the other person's hand, glanced at the intricate and precious embroidery on it with regret, and then coaxed her like a child, "How about I treat you to some candy, and then you turn the page and stop being angry, okay?"
After all, you are the strongest fighter at the moment, and there is no benefit in offending you.
Looking at the woman in front of him who was trying carefully to put the sachet together and then failed with regret, Ling Wangqing's eyes darkened and his face became even more unhappy. He didn't know what he was unhappy about, but he was unhappy anyway.
The way he showed his displeasure was that he became cold all over, had a sullen face, and stared at her without saying a word.
Shen Wuyou pursed her lips: "...Do you really mind that much?"
Ling Wangqing's face was as pale as autumn frost, and he remained silent.
"Then... I... wait for me!" Shen Wuyou scratched his head helplessly, his eyes darting around, and suddenly he found a treasure shop, then ran over to it -
Ling Wangqing stood there quietly watching her leave. Not long after, he saw her trotting over with a bundle of things in her arms, a look of joy on her face. Her eyes were bright and her teeth were white, and she was smiling broadly.
"Look, a sugar man! It's made specifically to look like me. If you're angry, just eat me up bit by bit. Chew me up thoroughly to feel better. Here~"
At this moment, Shen Wuyou had no idea that these words would come true many years later, and he would be terrified of the word "sugar" from then on.
At this time, Ling Wangqing had never imagined that many years later he would play with sugar in so many ways and fall deeply in love with it.
Back to the present moment,
Shen Wuyou stretched out his hand and placed the golden sugar man in front of Ling Wangqing, but saw that the man's eyes were like a dark pool, deep and unfathomable. There was still a cold light in the corners of his eyes, but it seemed to have eased.
it works!
So she continued to take out a candied haws, a bag of chocolate fruit, and a palm-sized human-shaped doll, and stuffed them into the man's mouth, explaining as she stuffed them:
"My name is engraved on the candied haws, so it's like me. As I eat it, my anger subsides. But the qiaoguo has a special meaning, so it doesn't have my name on it. I tried one, though, and it's sweet and delicious, so I'll just treat it as a snack. And this doll, the shopkeeper said it's called 'Mohele'. It looks cute, doesn't it? I'll give it to you too!"
After finishing, she looked at Ling Wangqing with a happy face, hoping to see a hint of joy in the other's expression.
