The second story of the ancient sword II

The night was getting darker, and the lanterns on the street were all lit up, and the colorful lights were dazzling.I don't know if it's because he knew his life expectancy, or because he was frightened by the group of people just now, Ah Ruan became less lively along the way.No longer making funny faces, and no longer curious about those colorful gadgets, but obediently led by Yi Ze, walking forward in silence.

Yi Ze, who was walking in front, felt dizzy all the time, and Ah Ruan's words made him feel like he was in the mist.At this moment, he made up his mind to practice the mental method taught by Master Huiyan, and to raise his own skill to a higher level.In addition, in order to find more powerful doctors and wise men, the decision in his heart became firmer.

Walking along the way, he had reached the busy city of Mufang Town before he knew it.It's almost New Year's Eve, and the small streets are very lively.All kinds of snacks and pastries lined up in a row.The shelves are full of colorful lanterns, and there is no shortage of Spring Festival couplets, fireworks, firecrackers and other new year goods.On the street, there are red men and women in Yingying Yanyan, and the radiant candle lights make people dizzying.Coming here, Ah Ruan still looked dull, which made Yi a little worried.

"What are you thinking? Why didn't you speak all the way?" Yi Ze asked cautiously.

"Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm..." Yi Ze's voice suddenly broke into Ah Ruan's ears, and she didn't know how to answer for a moment.

"I was in a daze all the way, did you have thoughts?" Yi Ze then asked.

"Oh, no...that's right, just now I made Yi Ze so embarrassed in front of the crowd, Ah Ruan felt a little uneasy." Ah Ruan carefully concealed his sadness.

"It's okay, I won't be so concerned about saving face in the future, Ah Ruan, don't blame yourself. Besides...cough cough..." Yi Ze cleared his throat, pointed his chin with pale fingers, and said apologetically , "I'm not honest enough. Well, there are so many interesting and delicious things here, do you want to buy some?"

"Okay." Ah Ruan tried his best to cheer himself up, not wanting Yi Ze to know what he was thinking. "Yize, look, what is that for sale? It's so beautiful!"

Looking along the direction of Ah Ruan's finger, Yi saw a small stall that looked a little special, with a bunch of exquisite gadgets on it.The stall owner is a girl of seventeen or eighteen, and she is constantly wearing various tassels in her hands.

"Huh? Is there anyone fanning in such a cold day?" Ah Ruan picked up a round fan and waved it in front of his eyes, then fanned it twice, "Sure enough, it's still a cool breeze..."

"Pfft..." The girl who made the netting didn't stop working, but her smiling eyes narrowed into slits.

"Cough cough." Yi Ze coughed twice in embarrassment, "That's not a cattail fan for cooling, it's..."

"This is a fan, do you want to give me a hand?" the Luozi girl grabbed Yi Ze's words.

"Fan?!" Ah Ruan looked at Yi Ze in confusion, only to see Yi Ze's eyebrows knit together in an instant.

"It's used to hide the face when girls get married. Girl, don't you even know this? Your mother didn't tell you?" Miss Luozi was a little surprised, "Although most girls get married by themselves, but Fan. But this is a high-quality embroidery work, you should understand this master, look at this pattern, this stitch, it is not an ordinary product..."

"Yi has to use a fan to get married. I don't know, and I don't know how to embroider. What should I do?"

"Uh, this, this..." Yi Ze was confused by this embarrassing atmosphere for a long time without saying anything.

"Heh..." Miss Luozi looked Yi Ze up and down, wondering if this man is also an ignorant master?Seeing this pair of strange people smiled and bent over, stopped the work in hand, "That's not easy, just get one from my sister! The girl gave it to you, no money."

"That's so embarrassing?" Yi Ze smiled and took out the money from his pocket and put it on the stall. "If Ah Ruan likes it, he can buy more."

"Well, I also think one fan is not enough." Ah Ruan caressed the phoenix embroidered with gold and silver threads on the fan, "I need to buy a few more fans for such a beautiful fan."

"Then let's buy all the suits." Yi Ze started to choose.

"Not so many, just three." Ah Ruan thought for a while and said.

"Why?" Yi Ze put down the extra fan in his hand in confusion.

"One for me, one for Ari, and one for Xiaohong." A Ruan picked out three different ones and held them in his hand, "If I marry you, wouldn't they both marry you at the same time?"

"You, you, you..." Yi Ze felt as if a burst of lightning and thunder whizzed past his head, and his face turned red from choking.

"Oh, this master is so lucky, the girl is so sensible, could it be possible that the girl who accompanied the room married together? Hahahaha..." Miss Luozi smiled heartily, "Young lady is really good-natured!"

"Uh..." Yi Ze suddenly wanted to say that those two are not human at all, okay?How can you marry me?But after thinking about it, wouldn't it be a joke if he said it?I had no choice but to gather myself together and smile, "Yes, yes, it's a good fortune."

The crowd of onlookers gradually increased, and the area around the stall became more and more lively.Yi bought three of all kinds of gadgets, and dragged A Ruan away from the stall.

In the restaurant outside the inn, the people gradually decreased, and the cold smell overflowed again.Yi tightened Ah Ruan's collar, took her hand and walked towards the backyard.Looking up, I saw a waning moon in the sky shrouded in faint clouds and mist, and the unhappy moonlight slowly spilled over the surrounding scenery.

"Go to bed early." Yi opened the door of Ah Ruan's room, "Don't catch cold at night."

"Well, Yi Ze is earlier too." A Ruan walked to the door and looked at Yi Ze with reluctance in his eyes.

"Okay." Yi Ze smiled and turned around slowly.The first lunar month is coming soon, so we have to hurry up and learn the mental method taught by Master Huiyan.As long as you memorize it first, Ah Ruan will save a lot of trouble when learning again.Yi Ze thought in his mind.

In the next room, as soon as the door was closed, Ah Ruan couldn't stop crying.The hand holding the door frame gradually weakened, until she sat at the door and began to cry.After crying in silence for a long time, he realized that he was still holding the cooling fan bought by Yi Ze in his hand.But the colorful phoenix danced lightly on the fan, and clusters of peonies competed for fragrance and splendor.No matter how beautiful the bird is, it will fly away, and no matter how beautiful the flower is, it will wither.My time is running out for this flower, three to five years, at most five to eight years, what should I do?I can't let go of Yi Ze, I can't let go of Ari and Xiaohong, I can't let go of those friends who share life and death together...

In a quiet room without candlelight, Ah Ruan's teardrop eyelashes covered her sad eyes.The moon is speechless, and people are stunned.

① But fan: The round fan used by brides in ancient weddings to cover their faces. It was not until the Song Dynasty that the wind of "covering the fan" evolved into the custom of "covering the head", and "poetry about the fan" also became "picking the head covering".

The author has something to say:

Today is the winter solstice, everyone, happy winter solstice~~~~ Xiao Yi and A Ruan should also eat dumplings today.Ahem~~~ It's getting cold, everyone pay attention to the cold~~~ Thank you for your motivation! ! ! !

There is also about the wedding customs of the Tang Dynasty, which are actually different from many TV shows. Most of the TV shows follow the etiquette after the Song Dynasty.This, this, I also asked Du Niang, if there is anything wrong, feel free to mention it.
