The fourth day of May was a fine day. Miaoqian Street was full of stalls. Not far from Ruihe Wharf, workers were busy preparing for the dragon boat race.

At the end of Miaoqian Street is Anyuan Temple. Because of the temple fair, the incense has become more vigorous today.According to legend, hundreds of years ago, when Avalokitesvara passed by here, a drop of celestial dew in a jade bottle fell on a rock, and the stone got aura and turned into a Buddha statue. When a wandering monk saw this scene, he opened this temple and prayed to Buddha. It has always been very effective, especially the marriage, so that the faithful men and women came to the temple early to seek a good marriage for themselves.

In order to avoid people's eyes and ears, he wore a blue-gray jacket and sat in the corner of the street, like a tired day laborer, resting his head against the corner of the wall, his eyes under the hat, squinting a little to observe the situation at a distance.

Suddenly felt something strange on the top of the opposite building, stretched his waist and slowly got up from the ground, stumbled and rushed into the depths of the alley, and when he got to the empty alley, he jumped to the roof lightly with luck, with both feet Stepping on the tiles did not make any sound, walking between the roofs like walking on the ground, and when he came to the vicinity of the strange roof just now, the signing cat lowered his waist and slowly moved forward with his feet alternately.

On the roof over there, a young man in a blue-black coat lay comfortably on his back on the tiles, propped up his upper body with his left hand, lazily closed his eyes to bask in the early May sunshine, and put a buckskin wine jug into his mouth with his right hand. Drinking the fine wine in one sip, his expression was extremely enjoyable.

Sign's expression sank, and he jumped down beside the young man, grabbing the flagon from his hand.

The thing in his hand was snatched away, the young man opened his eyes and saw the lottery, he was not angry and said with a smile: "It's rare to see it once, it seems so vicious."

"Why are you here, master." He said shaking the wine jug in his hand, only half a bottle was left in it, and he couldn't help but look slightly annoyed.

"Aren't I protecting my master?" The young man stood up and pointed to the busy street below with his fingers.

Following the indicated direction, Zhuo looked at the bustling crowd below, and suddenly found three people in front of a booth, it was Qi Xiao and the Wei family brother and sister. How could you come to such a place?"

The man shrugged his shoulders and shook his head. He was going to get back the gourd in the stick, but when he saw the stick staring at him, he said helplessly, "That's tea, not water. If you don't believe me, you can smell it."

Put the mouth of the bottle on His Majesty and sniffed it. Sure enough, there was no smell of wine at all, and the man yawned: "The beautiful scenery of this festive season makes people feel relaxed and happy. I can't help but use tea instead of wine to soak up the atmosphere. It's so good to come out with the master to bask Sun." Seeing that the other party was full of anger, he hurriedly shrank his head and waved his hands and said: "Boss, all the shadow guards are dispatched today, and I am mainly responsible for sending messages here, otherwise how dare I be lazy."

After finishing speaking, he looked at the northwest direction and then at the southeast: "Over there are Yao and You, and over there are scholars. Zheng and Cen followed behind in disguise. It's rare for the master to come out for a walk. Of course, we are the current people. Do your best to let the master have fun." He took the flagon in his hand and drank the tea in it, as if he had drunk a fine nectar, and blew in satisfaction, "However, what a coincidence today, you also come By the way, since I sent you to the princess, we haven't seen each other for a long time."

The man babbled there, but didn't pay much attention to the sign. He just looked at the three people wandering over there, and then at the two people farther away, and asked, "Boy, when did the master decide to come to this temple fair?"

"That's it." Hanging the empty jug on his waist, he scratched the back of his head with his hands and thought for a while, "A temporary idea? You know, the master never talks much, but yesterday he suddenly told Yao that he would come to the temple fair, Yao is worried that there are too many people here, so he let us come out together. I have been on business for three days in a row, and I have not slept for almost two nights. Yao let me listen to the whistle, and I will respond to any situation, but absolutely Not being lazy."

Sign has long been used to a talkative character, and immediately found the key words from those meaningless words, and murmured: "Yesterday?" He took a long breath, and said to the person behind him without turning his head: "Then you are very interesting here." Come on, I'm going back."

"Eh? Let's go now? Don't stay longer and I'll have sex with my brother? These days I..." Before I could finish my words, Zhi had already performed his light work and jumped off the eaves, continuing to pretend to be a part-time worker.

I found a roadside stall, signed a few copper coins and ordered a bowl of noodles. While eating the noodles, the five people finally met in front of a sugar painting booth.

Although Qi Zhi was visiting a temple fair, since the two met, they just looked around at the stalls, chatted for a while, and didn't buy anything, but Qi Xiao and the others who came to meet him were different. Xiao now holds Baohuamei in his hand, and Wei Chiyu behind him holds a bag of sugar-fried chestnuts, and he did not forget to hook a straw grasshopper on his little finger. Wei Bingcheng is standing behind the two of them and is pulling out money, it seems that he is planning to buy sugar painted.

Among the five, Qi Yi was the most surprised, while Qi Xiao looked indifferent. He had obviously expected this encounter, and he put a flower in his mouth unhurriedly, facing Wei Bingcheng who was behind him. Said: "Sincerely, ask the store to make two more sugar paintings."

"Okay." The owner of the sugar painting skillfully scooped up a spoonful of syrup with a spatula and asked, "What do you want to paint, sir?"

Qi Xiao squinted her eyes and looked up and down at the two people in front of her, and said, "Look at yours, the store."

He was terrified by Qi Xiao's eyes, although he always thought of her in his heart, he never wanted to meet in such a situation.

After eating the plum, Qi Xiao raised a smile on his mouth: "What a coincidence, did you also come here to play?"

There must be nothing good for Qi Xiao talking with a smile, besides, there is no smile in his eyes, and he obviously felt a little bit of displeasure at the end of the last syllable.

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a few crackling sounds. It turned out that Wei Chiyu dropped the chestnut in his hand on the ground, and bent down to pick it up with a dry smile. He was obviously startled by Qi Xiao's gentle and intimate address just now.

Next to Liu Yan, she recognized Wei Chiyu as the one who smashed the table last time. Last time she saw her domineering and throwing a lot of money, she was clearly a son of a rich family. Today, she found out that she was also a woman, and she was very respectful to the woman standing at the front. The sugar-painted man was also ordered by the woman.

Looking at it this way, the woman standing at the front and talking with a smile must be a powerful person, above the two of them.

She didn't understand that Qi Zhi was just a scholar who couldn't even pay a hundred taels of silver, why would he meet such a powerful person, if they were friends, then the atmosphere between the two of them was very strange, they were so intimate but they didn't realize it How intimate.

Before he had time to think more clearly, Qi Bao picked up a chestnut that had rolled down to his feet and said, "Well, I never expected to meet you, Xiao'er, by such a coincidence."

The chestnuts that were finally picked up rolled down on the ground and spread all over the floor. Wei Chiyu didn't care about the chestnuts that fell on the ground, so he opened his mouth wide enough to stuff a steamed bun.

Wei Bingcheng returned to Qi Xiao with five strings of sugar paintings. Seeing that Wei Chiyu was squatting on the ground and the chestnuts rolled all over the ground, he handed the sugar paintings in his hand to Qi Xiao and said, "Chi Yu, they all fell to the ground, why don't you pick them up?" What are you doing, just buy a new one.”

The remaining two strings were given to Qi Ping and Liu Yan respectively, and they nodded to each other as a greeting. Qi Ping introduced Qi Xiao and the Wei family siblings to Liu Yan.

The same as shopkeeper Pan's reaction, the relationship between the two is surprising, and the disparity in status is obvious. After thinking about it, it should be the difference between the natural and the concubine, and introduced himself to several people with a slight bow.

The sugar paintings are three bunches of birthday peaches, and the other two are magpies, which were done by Wei Bingcheng on purpose or not. The magpies are in the hands of Qi Ping and Qi Xiao respectively.Seeing himself and Qi Xiao as a pair, Qi Zhi secretly blamed himself for being so absurd, but couldn't help but secretly rejoiced: "Miss Liu Yan and I plan to go to Anyuan Temple in the future, what are your plans?"

"We're going there too."

Qi Xiao answered naturally, and Wei Chiyu immediately said after hearing it: "Eh? I..." Before he could finish speaking, Wei Bingcheng slapped him secretly with the elbow, and the following words were forced back into his stomach.

After eating the noodles, Zi saw the five people standing in front of the sugar painting booth walking towards Anyuan Temple together, put down their chopsticks and wiped their mouths with their cuffs, stood up and hid in the crowd to follow behind them.

The three people in front, one is Long Live Today, one is the princess, and the other is a brothel woman. This combination is really weird. Each of them holds a sugar painting in their hands, especially in Qi Xiao's. It's indescribably strange. He raised his voice and said, "Brother, you said that the lady must have been fainted by Chu Ping, why does she feel abnormal?"

Glaring at her fiercely, Wei Bingzheng was really having a headache for this outspoken sister: "Miss works hard day and night, so you should relax a bit. Do your job well and don't keep thinking about useless things."

When I came to Anyuan Temple, it was full of men and women of marriageable age, some of them were in pairs, and they were accompanied by family members. They invited simple incense candles for safety and health, and gave some merit to the old monk to pray for blessings. Liu Yan begged A marriage lottery turned out to be an auspicious one. Disappointed, he hurriedly asked the master who solved the lottery what he meant.

The old monk looked up and saw the four people standing behind him, and said with a smile: "Marriage is destined by heaven, you can't force it."

Qi Ping listened to her ears and felt that it was more in line with her situation. She couldn't help but feel a little depressed. When she walked out of Anyuan Temple, Liu Yan took out a sachet from her bosom and stuffed it into Qi Ping's hand: "Mr. After buying this sachet, I hope you don’t dislike it.”

The emerald green sachet contains realgar, a fragrant medicine, etc., and it is full of fragrance. It is exquisite and exquisitely crafted. Although it is not considered expensive, it is a personal item of great significance. , You can’t get paid for nothing, that’s a must.”

"Today, the son lost his concubine and wandered around all day, didn't he?" Knowing that Qi Ping would refuse, Liu Yan put the sachet back into Qi Ping's hand with a smile, "It's a gift of thanks."

"This……"

Just when Qi Wei was hesitating, Qi Xiao stepped forward and stood between the two of them: "Miss Liu Yan is really polite. I heard that my brother mentioned you. The matter of the porcelain vase was resolved by the girl's help." Said At this point, he took the sachet from Qi Ping's hand and handed it to Liu Yan, "We haven't thanked you yet, how can we accept the girl's gift, besides, my younger brother is already engaged, if the other party finds out that he got something from another girl, but will be jealous."

Liu Yan knew that Qi Ping was a woman, of course jealousy in the marriage contract was an excuse, but the other side smiled, but exuded an overwhelming aura that no one could refuse, so she could only accept the sachet resentfully.

It was getting late, and it was time to go back. Qi Xiao ordered Wei Bingcheng to send Liu Yan back. The other party had just walked not far away. Qi Xiao sarcastically said to Qi Ping who was still watching Liu Yan: "Are you reluctant to leave?" They were all upset, especially when Liu Yan gave the sachet to Qi Ping, "I've never seen you be polite when I gave you so many things, and you bought you with a small sachet?"

Looking back, he saw the cold face of the people around him. Compared with the usual cold expression, there was a little more anger. After a moment of bewilderment, an idea popped up in his heart. He suppressed all emotions and said nonchalantly: "The sachet is from my own hands. Manufactured, bearing affection."

"Since you know that she has feelings for you, why don't you refuse immediately. Could it be that you still plan to accept it?" Once again experiencing the annoyance of having a big stone in her chest, as if her things were taken away by someone, Qi Xiao felt uneasy, " If you really want it, I'll give it to you."

Qi Ping tried his best to maintain a serious face, and finally couldn't help but smile, and looked at Qi Xiao with smiling eyes: "Xiao'er, how does the plum taste like?"

"Shang Ke, why did you ask this?"

"Because what Xiao'er said just now is so sour."

Being poked into a soft spot, Qi Xiao was speechless for a moment, so he could only grit his teeth, and said to Wei Chiyu who was not far away: "Chi Yu, prepare your horse and go back to the house."
