Chapter 205 Too greedy
Huangfu Jingchen glanced at Xia Wenjin again.
Long and harmonious, this word is really nice. It seems that every word is filled with a sense of happiness in the world. When you recite it together, you feel like you are chewing honey and smelling the fragrance, and even your lips and teeth are happy.
But where will his longevity and harmony be?
Yue Lao River, Yue Lao River.
If there is really a river god in this world, if you go to Yue Lao River, will Yue Lao River God know his wishes? Will he have mercy on his wishes?
However, even if the Moon Old River God pleads with his wish, he is a man, and Xia Wenjin is also a man. Xia Wenjin wants to marry and have children to inherit the family business, even if they come together, can they be harmonious and harmonious for a long time?
Xia Wenjin didn't know that Huangfu Jingchen had already thought so much. She was talking to her old lady and father-in-law, and teasing Hong'er, as if their grandson had a sense of intimacy with them.
After dinner, they were preparing to go to the Yue Lao River according to the direction the old man pointed out.
Hong'er also wanted to go with her, but the old lady said, "Hong'er, if you go, it will cause distraction from your brothers to take care of you. There are many people by the river, so you'd better not go. When you grow up in the future, you can go by yourself!"
Xia Wenjin didn't mind taking Hong'er with her, but the old lady insisted that she could not affect them and did not let Hong'er go with her. Hong'er was also very obedient. Although she was eager to see her, she returned to her mother-in-law.
Xia Wenjin finally promised to bring him a lantern, and Honger immediately became happy.
Walk side by side with Huangfu Jingchen to the river.
It is nearly two miles from the village to the river, but this distance is really nothing for young people. There are people all the way, and more are young people, both men and women.
According to the old lady, the Yue Lao River has been flowing down the mountain and flowing down the village since their ancestors.
This river feeds several villages on both sides of the river.
However, there are no arranged marriages in these villages. Young men and women take a good look at them. As long as the man is not married and the woman is not married, parents generally will not object. Therefore, the couples in the village are very harmonious. There are no three wives and four concubines here, only one husband and wife. Children and grandchildren are filial and the family is harmonious. Xia Wenjin thinks that this is simply the best place in the world.
She took this road to Liangzhou because she was hiding from her father, but she didn't expect to see such a village and a group of people.
The world is so big, how little does she know?
Huangfu Jingchen suddenly said: "Actually, Yunzhou is not bad either!"
Xia Wenjin smiled and said, "What about comparing with this place?"
Huangfu Jingchen thought for a while, shook his head, and said honestly: "It's better! Those rich men will marry concubines!"
Xia Wenjin smiled. In the whole of Nanxia, women's status is not as good as men. Women must live together, but men can have three wives and four concubines. The richer, powerful and stubborn men, the more concubines they have. High families and wealthy families have even more complex populations.
But she seems to be an alien.
In her previous life, all she wanted was a pair of people for a lifetime. Therefore, Huangfu Yuxuan's promise made her feel very happy, so she worked hard and helped each other without hesitation, until she finally realized that it was just a lie.
She thought that there would be no such place in Nanxia, and there would be no such person.
Unexpectedly, I saw it in this small village by the river.
This kind of life is the life she envies the most and yearns for!
There is no capital, no Jinzhou, and no Yunzhou!
Xia Wenjin slowly shook her head. So what if she is there? She is not ready to get married again in this life!
Seeing that her expression changed from time to time, Huangfu Jingchen shook his head at this time, as if he had made a decision. His confused face suddenly became firm and couldn't help but ask, "What are you thinking?"
Xia Wenjin pointed to the front and said, "Look, I'm here!"
The lanterns in front are hung on the treetops, with hazy lights and shadows reflecting the river. The water on the river is rippling, and a few lanterns are floating on the river. The faint lights reflect the rippling river water, swaying away, which has a unique artistic conception.
There are small vendors selling: "Young master, do you buy a river lantern?"
On one shelf, there were many river lanterns, big and small, lotus, duck, rabbit... all kinds of shapes, which filled his rack.
Huangfu Jingchen looked at Xia Wenjin: "What kind of thing do you like?"
Xia Wenjin picked a carp, and she wanted to bring this one for Honger, and another lotus.
Huangfu Jingchen did not give the money directly this time, so he asked for the price, some of these lanterns cost two cents and some of them cost three cents.
He picked several of them, and together with Xia Wenjin, he spent only seventeen es.
Xia Wenjin saw that he had a big and small handful of them and said funny: "You want to put so much?"
Huangfu Jingchen looked serious: "If you put more, you will always have a wish that the Moon Old River God can hear."
Xia Wenjin smiled and said, "Have you prepared so many wishes? Are you too greedy?"
Huangfu Jingchen smiled but said nothing.
He did not prepare many wishes, but only prepared one. If possible, he wanted to buy all the river lanterns so that the river could float his wishes. But when he thought about it, it was a bit crazy and a little childish, so he didn't do this.
The river bank in this area is probably because of the many years of river lanterns. They are all made of bluestone slabs, and there is also a one-meter-square and oval lamp stand.
You can place lights into the river along the edge of the platform. The river water flows slowly in this area and the river lights will not be swept into the bottom of the water.
There seems to be someone on the other side of the river, but the river surface is wide and the lights on both sides will gather together at the downstream.
As more and more people are putting on the lights, the river surface is full of river lanterns of various shapes, with river water reflected, trees on the shore and lanterns dotted, which is very beautiful.
There is also a very large buffalo lamp. This kind of lamp is usually specially customized or carefully crafted by oneself. It was carried by a strong man, put it down devoutly, stood up, watched the "big buffalo" slowly float to the distance, and closed his mouth and shouted at the other side of the river: "I want to marry Tang Sanni, Tang Sanni, the big bull wants to be with you!"
Someone who knew him laughed and said, "Big Niu, how long have you been doing this lamp?"
The big bull turned around, and his honest face was filled with joyful smile: "One month!"
This is really intentional. It seems that the girl he likes lives across the river. Many people joke with him, and he does not hide his love for the girl named Tang Sanni.
Huangfu Jingchen had a look of envy in his eyes. If you like someone, you should be like this, right?
But his likes are too shocking!
He doesn't know where to go!
Xia Wenjin also smiled slightly, looking at the happy smiling faces of the young men and women, and looking at the river lanterns floating on the river surface, she felt emotional, the beautiful feelings of young people are so good!
After the big cow put out the river lantern, he got off the lampstand and left the position for later generations.
