Chapter 47 Lingyang Washing and Sun Festival
Dongfang Yin also went to their respective rooms. After driving for most of the day, I was really tired.
Dongfangtou didn't care about the girl's idea. He raised his foot and went in. Because of the bathtub behind the screen, it was hot and slightly warm, and he closed his backhand to the door.
Looking at the furnishings in the room, the marble round table stool, put his hand on it, and immediately came a cool touch. Put your luggage on it as well. Celadon teacup, teapot, flower and grass screen, pear wood washstand and a simple and neat bed. The goose yellow bed mantle is decorated with colorful tassels, copper hooks are hung on both sides, and green satin flowers are neatly stacked on the inside of the bed.
The corners of Dongfang's mouth are slightly raised, which is very good. He is in a good mood to bathe after walking to the screen.
After bathing, put on a clean and comfortable dark green cross-neck skirt, a water-green tulle cover, and the sleeves at the neckline of the cuffs are decorated with orchids.
I took a look at the green figure in the bronze mirror, and everything else was good. Except for that face, he went out with his head down and was ready to see what they were doing.
When he went out, he bumped into the opposite room 4 and also opened the door refreshingly. When he bumped his eyes, Murong Xi nodded politely and said hello. Dongfangtou nodded in return, turned around and closed the door together and went to Room No. 1 where Mu Yin was located.
As soon as they arrived at the door, Amber and Dongfangyin had also picked up and went out. Mu Yin was still dressed in black robes and black boots. He sat at the table waiting for Dongfang to see them. When they were all there, the clerk at the door asked if the dishes were served. Mu Yin nodded: "I'm coming to the pot of osmanthus wine."
"Customer, please wait a moment." The man nodded and closed the door to go out to spread the dishes.
In the room, Dongfang Yin lay by the window and looked at the night market downstairs. He was attracted by the lively atmosphere on the street and asked Dongfang, who was drinking tea at the table: "Bend, after dinner, how about going to the night market together?"
Dongtou nodded and also walked to the window and looked at the surging market below: "Well, it may be a custom festival in this city that is so lively below, just for us to catch up."
And Qin Niang, who had just pushed the door and came in, happened to hear this and took the words with a smile: "This little girl is really exquisite. Today, June 6th, coincides with the solar terms of the big and small offices. Put the various dishes on the tray on the table and take the osmanthus brew brought by the man behind him and continue to add: "Lingyang is different from other cities. Lingyang holds the Lingyang Washing and Sun Festival on the same day as the number of months every June."
was about to pour a cup for each of them, but was stopped by Mu Yin: "Yes, boss's wife."
"Oh, looking at Qin Niang's mouth and talking, she forgot that the other people are young princes and should not drink." Qin Niang said that she was going to slap her mouth and was stopped by Dongfang, who stood by the window and could hear it vigorously: "Madam, it's okay. I'm very interested in this Lingyang washing and drying festival, but I don't know what the purpose of this washing and drying festival is?"
While talking, the two were already sitting at the table. Mu Yin motioned Qin Niang to sit down and talk, waiting for her to explain to them.
Qin Niang did not push it, and immediately smiled cheerfully: "You listen to Qin Niang while eating. If the food is cold, it will lose its taste."
Dongfang and others nodded.
In fact, it is also today's Emperor Xiao's benevolence, which makes the people's lives full, and this washing and drying, as the name implies, is to wash and bask in the sun, and worship Buddha and worship God.
Because it is wet during the rainy season, everything is prone to mildew and damage, so on this day, there are many customs of bathing and drying from the palace to the folk, from the town to the farmyard.
In particular, those who believe in Buddhism are used to bathing and purifying their bodies and burning incense to worship Buddha with a clean body to show piety.
Dong Toru nodded and asked, "Since it's washed and sun, it should be during the day. Why at night--?"
Qin Niang raised her hand to stop Dongfang's question, shook her head and smiled, "No wonder that several people come from other places. Naturally, the sunwashing is during the day, and at night, it is a grand event for the people to relax after a busy day. Looking forward to a better coming year.
"Is Qin Niang a local?" Murong Xi saw that she was so transparent and couldn't help asking curiously.
"No, because Qin Niang's father-in-law is a nerd who doesn't know anything else, he knows all these things, and Qin Niang will recite it back every day, and she can only help a few foreign guests like this." Qin Niang's shrugged sigh caused several people to laugh.
"Who said that Bai Wuyi is a scholar, Qin Niang, isn't what you just said equivalent to a tour guide?" Dongfang opened the boss's joke, but it aroused the suspicion of several other people including Qin Niang.
"Miss, what is a tour guide?" Mu Yin is very dedicated to the role of stew.
If you don't understand, ask!!!
"The tour guide is either Dong, Er, Er, or someone like Qin Niang who explains local customs and etiquette for outsiders." Dongfang wiped his sweat secretly, and then went out smoothly without notinging.
Mu nodded, and Amber turned her face unhappily and was still struggling with what she couldn't speak.
Dongfang Yin blinked his eyes and pickled rice into his mouth. It looked good--Kawaii-.~Dongfang coughed dryly and didn't look away.
"It's useless to be a scholar. Ha ha." At this time, Murong Xi had put down his chopsticks and carefully recalled the classic sentence of Dongfang.
"Ha ha, yes, it's useless to be a scholar." Qin Niang also covered her lips and smiled and echoed, while the bookkeeper of the goatee in the lobby downstairs continued to struggle with the account book and was pitifully shot while lying down.
"Oh, it doesn't mean to discriminate against readers, it's just a very appropriate description." Dongfang explained the situation to Qin Niang.
"Girl, don't worry. Qin Niang doesn't mean to blame you. She just thinks that the girl is only a few years old and understands it so thoroughly. No wonder Qin Niang said that you are a delicate person as soon as she entered the door." Qin Niang waved her hand to indicate that it was okay, smiling and joking Dongfang.
Mu Yin saw that he had put his chopsticks, so he got up and thanked the boss's wife for her hospitality: "Boss, the food in your restaurant is very delicious. I guess it's the best in the city, right?"
"What's the matter? Qin Niang is just an ordinary inn, which is comparable to the [Yipin Building] on the next street." Qin Niang got up and high-fiveed the clerk waiting outside the door to come in and clean up: "Since you have eaten well and are ready to go out for a walk, do you need Qin Niang to lead the way?"
Dongfangtou shook his head: "It's okay. Qin Niang's business is still important. I'm just going to join the fun." After saying that, he went downstairs with Qin Niang.
"Well, the Qin Niang told a few places to go here, which is better than being disappreciating because she is not clear."
Dongfang nodded: "Then thank you, Qin Niang."
"What are you talking about? The place to enjoy all kinds of miscellaneous arts and lantern fairs. In June Street facing the city, the most lively one is the June Bridge outside the town, where young men and women from all families can go."
The east raises eyebrows, and the June Street - isn't it the legendary ' Magpie Bridge'?
