Is the little monk enlightened today?

It was already evening when I came out of the Shanshui Medicine House, but I heard bursts of firecrackers from the street next to the wall, which seemed to bring a bit of New Year's atmosphere.

You Fan didn't know much about the customs here, so he took the leader's hand and asked, "It's not just early autumn, how can you still hear the sound of setting off firecrackers? I heard that these things are only available in the Central Plains during the Spring Festival."

Yu Gui raised his head and thought about it carefully, but he never cared about these festivals, and he didn't think of them for a long time. Most of the festivals in the past were just going to the countryside to visit the old man.

"Today is July [-]th."

A voice came from not far away, and after a careful look, it turned out to be the guardians on the left and right. The two changed into dark red new clothes, and each had a red rope tied in their hands.

"Why are the two protectors dressed like this? If we didn't know, we thought you were going to get married today."

You Fan's words made Lin Yan stretch out his hand to hit him, while Lao Luo looked at him with a chattering smile, as if approving in his eyes-these eyes really weren't white.

After arguing for a long time, Lin Yan carefully explained the origin of July [-]th: "Qixi Festival, the most suitable large-scale face-to-face blind date festival for men and women in the south of the Yangtze River. You can go out with a red rope, and if you see something pleasing to the eye, put it in someone's hand, and if you like it or if I like it, you can tie it firmly together and you're done."

"You... want to marry a wife too?" You Fan asked in disbelief, do the two protectors want to eat what's in the bowl and choose what's in the pot?

"Don't talk nonsense, you can't see that we are all tied with our own red ropes." Lao Luo raised his hand with a smile, and Lin Yan quickly held him down, feeling very embarrassed.

Yu Gui squinted at the two of them, and asked, "How can you be so boring for a Tanabata party?"

"Qixi Festival will be boring, but we think it is necessary to bring back something from this year's Qixi Festival."

Lin Yan played a sloppy eye and urged them to change into red clothes.

"Do you have to wear red?"

"Red clothes should be worn on Qixi Festival, this is the rule!"

So the two went back to the room, and it took a while to come out. The clothes were prepared by Lao Luo in advance. The collar was sealed with black satin and embroidered with patterns. People can fall in love with it at a glance.

You Fan touched his sweetheart's broken hair without hesitation, and praised: "It's so beautiful."

Lao Luo was immediately fed a mouthful of dog food, and reluctantly walked past Lin Yan, almost being pushed into the pond by his Xiaoyan.

The four of them went out onto the street, and the cross streets with bluestone slabs were really crowded with people. Not only unmarried men and women put on new clothes to go out, but even old couples who had been in love all their lives walked hand in hand, leaning on crutches like In the memory of the love story that belonged to them at the beginning.

The most interesting thing is that the four of them are really too dazzling. Although they are mainly dressed in dark red, their figure and appearance can be regarded as bright pearls among the crowd. The truth is, seeing that they all wear red ropes on their hands, they sighed continuously for a while, and sighed that they didn't have such a good relationship, and they couldn't meet such a fourth son of the world.

Lin Yan led them to the busiest market. Not only were there marriages between men and women tonight, there were also brothels full of houses.

"Xiaoyan! Don't you want it??"

Lao Luo's face was as ugly as if he was out of breath, and he hurriedly pulled him away to prevent him from leaving. The left protector, who has been known for his thin skin for so many years, actually wants to enter the brothel today?If he came to see some confidante Lan Yan confidant later, he would go up and demolish the shop directly!

Yu Gui also took a look at him, why are you so dishonest, don't bring my monk down!

"...Did you see that tonight is still the best night for this brothel oiran."

The three looked at him in unison.

"Hey, it's fine if this fake monk hasn't heard of our Jiangnan Festival, why are you both looking at me with a confused face?"

Lao Luo said that all your heart is on you, so how can you have time to care about others?

You Fan nodded in agreement, and looked at him puzzled: "Then what exactly is Choosing Liang Ye?"

"It's a saying to choose an auspicious day to marry yourself off. In layman's terms, when an oiran wants to quit the world, he will choose the Qixi Festival. At least it can be regarded as a good match from heaven, and he doesn't have to be too inferior in front of his husband in the future. "

Then they suddenly realized, and then asked: "Then what did you mean when you said that we need to take it back?"

"When the oiran comes out of the building, in addition to asking the benefactors to give money, there will also be a make-up gift in the building to attract more wealthy people." Lin Yan looked at the crowd that gradually gathered, and the dancers of various colors upstairs. Just as he was preparing, he knew that the good night was about to begin. When the old procuress, who was over [-] years old but still charming, came out with something, his eyes lit up, and Lao Luo was so scared that he thought his family Xiaoyan had made something wrong.

"Did you see it? Did you see it?"

The three big question marks stretched his neck, only to see that what the bustard forged was not gold or silver jewelry, nor silk or satin, but a piece of black silk fabric. At first glance, he thought it was some kind of tattered stuff.

The ignorant men below were all booing: "This brothel bustard is really ruthless, just this piece of rag, doesn't it mean that she is scolding Miss Jingruo in disguise?"

"That's right, at least take a few decent pieces of jewelry, how much money can you earn from this girl all year round, how can you be so deceitful in the end?"

"It's a pity, this Jingruo girl has a good appearance, let's see if we can help."

The booing became even louder, and a chunky big local tyrant offered 1 taels of silver, and the two big boxes at the back were opened by his subordinates, and the shiny silver directly blinded the eyes of a bunch of poor men!

Miss Jingruo is dressed in a purple gauze dress, with a slightly drooping phoenix crown on her head, willow-leaf eyebrows and small almond-shaped eyes, red lips, moist skin and delicate texture. From a distance, she is really beautiful like a fairy, not just gorgeous with heavy makeup, but more of a kind of The gentle tenderness is the only girl like water in this brothel for decades. Many women will still look at her with laughter, and more of them are compassionate. Even if they find Mr. Ruyi tonight, I'm afraid the elders in the family won't give me any good looks if I don't go innocent. I'm afraid I will suffer a lot in this life.

You Fan seldom saw a female benefactor, but this girl was indeed pretty, so he boasted casually: "It's quite likable."

Lin Yan and Lao Luo looked at each other, and couldn't help shouting in their hearts: You fake monk, how dare you speak!

"What's the matter? Do you think she's ugly?"

Lao Luo very kindly reminded him to look at the face of the leader, and You Fan looked over ignorantly, almost staring at him to death.

"It's pretty." You Fan leaned closer, "Amitabha, monks can't lie, this is someone else's pretty girl, and mine is a pretty leader,"

The fake monk's desire to survive is so fucking strong, which caused a lot of laughter.

The bustard rang the gong, and the bustling crowd fell silent in an instant. The short and fat local tycoon opened his fan and stroked his mustache, with a smug smile on his face. His family was rich, and even though his wives and concubines had more than ten houses, he still coveted the stunning beauty. Therefore, I brought tens of thousands of taels of silver here today, and I am quite confident.

Lin Yan pointed to the black cloth on it and explained to them in a low voice: "Fuyun Zheng is always a dazzling existence in the Jianghu. An ordinary scabbard can't make it unobtrusive. Only special black silk can be used. .”

"Black silk?" Yu Gui rubbed his chin but thought of something else.

You Fan said in an extremely tacit understanding: "Is it related to the golden silk thread in the hands of the previous Jinhua leader?"

"That's right." Lin Yan nodded and said, "Golden silk thread is top-grade, and there aren't many in the world. This black silk is quite a substitute for it. It was planted by later generations. Although it is not as precious as golden silk, it is After all, there are some edges, and the fabric made of black silk is extremely delicate, which can cover all light sources and is airtight, so it is perfect for your scabbard."

"How did you know there would be one here?"

"Hee hee." Lin Yan curled his mouth with a smile: "Master, you don't know, in our Jiangnan, as long as I want to find something, I can find it immediately. When I have this black silk as a scabbard, in the future you want to If you come out with floating clouds on your back, you won't be targeted by anyone."

Yu Gui nodded towards Lin Yan in satisfaction: "Go back and give you more monthly money."

"okay."

Several people quarreled for a while, but others bid one after another. Not only did a short and fat local tyrant come tonight, but also a few rich men joined in the fun, saying that they redeemed the girl together with the money, and it would not be a good idea to share a piece of it in the future. The question made others disgusted.

"I'll pay 5000 taels!"

A thick voice sounded from behind, like a son of an official, with a lot of people with him, the appearance was very grand, once the box was opened, the eyes of ordinary people were blinded, no one dared to shout anymore, even the short and fat The local tyrants wrinkled their chubby faces, and their foreheads were covered with sweat.

The girl Jingruo upstairs was a little moved, and when she looked carefully, she was standing quietly with her hands on her belly, with an indifferent expression on her face.

There was a servant behind the official's son, his eyes were rolling up all the time, and his teeth were clenched tightly.

Lao Luo touched his pocket and whispered in Lin Yan's ear, "We didn't seem to bring so much money here."

"Oh, I asked the accountant for a bag of gold before I went out, so it should be fine."

As Lin Yan said that, he took out the bag that had been hanging behind him all the time, and when everyone weighed it, it was really not light.

"Come on, you bid the price."

You Fan stared: "Me?"

"That's right, we are all dignified figures, the leader of Bafang Fengfengfeng and the left and right protectors, if people know that we come here to buy girls, what's the deal?"

"..."

You Fan always felt that this was a bit wrong.

Looking at the crowds of people around, and the increasingly bright Buddhist beads on my chest, I seem to be very embarrassed. I said to myself that you are afraid of shame, and I am a monk as a brothel to redeem the girl, so it is not shameful!
