Empress, she is beautiful Lu Ziye

Chapter 393 There is a story

She winked at Nan Zhen, looking familiar.

Nan Zhen smiled and didn't speak, but the shopkeeper next to him couldn't help but said, "How could my grandfather's generation understand this?

Those who grow crops depend on the sky for food.If the harvest is good, you will feel that you are blessed by the gods; if the harvest is not good, either it is because the god is not active and does not worship, or you feel that the gods will punish you and ask people to reform themselves. "

Of course they now know that this is all coordinated by the government, but the custom of praying for blessings has remained, year after year, until now.

"That's true." Fang Yao clasped her hands in front of her body, pouted her lips, and agreed with him.

She looked around and sighed, "Tsk, this year's Water God Festival is really grand."

The shopkeeper: "That's not true."

His eyes were quickly attracted elsewhere, and he ignored the people beside him.

Nan Zhen then turned her head and asked Fang Yao, "Why are you here, you don't have any errands today?"

"How can there be errands every day?" Fang Yao also looked left and right, "Besides, even if you have errands today, you have to come and have a look."

Nan Zhen raised her eyebrows slightly, thinking of what Fei Liu said yesterday, she understood.

Fang Yao suddenly patted her arm, and pulled her to the high platform, "Although it is nonsense to say that the water god is angry, praying for blessings is still very interesting. It's your first time to experience it. It's so boring to stand around." .”

She took Nan Zhen to the side of the mask stand, pointed to a green one, "Coincidentally, it matches your clothes very well."

Nan Zhen is wearing a long light blue dress today, which looks Tingting.

The peddler who set up the stall laughed, "This mask is imitating the wife of the water god. The girl has a very good face and can support this role."

Fang Yao originally thought the mask looked good, but after listening to it, she felt that something was wrong, "I remember that there was no 'madam' character last year, where did it come from?"

"It's Xinna's!" said the peddler, "and he bought two at once."

"..."

Fang Yao couldn't help it, she rolled her eyes.

It's hard to tell whether it's the so-called water god who is playing tricks, or the storyteller who made up these stories expects it so.

She was just about to take the mask out of Nan Zhen's hand, but she didn't expect someone to take a step ahead of her.

Xiao Rongxi has been slowly following the two of them, and naturally heard what the peddler said just now, and refused without thinking, "We don't want this."

He picked up a black mask and a white mask, chose one of them for Nan Zhen to wear, smoothed her hair, looked around, "This one is just right."

The mask was drawn in an extremely hideous manner, covering the entire face, leaving only a pair of agile eyes outside.

Nan Zhen stared at the person in front of her, blinked her eyes, and smiled naturally, "You wear it too, the blessing ceremony is about to begin."

"Ah."

The two people with first-class kung fu danced extremely uncoordinated, their limbs seemed to be newly installed, and they were not very skilled in using them. They even stumbled with their left foot and tripped over their right foot several times, but fortunately they stabilized in time.

Standing next to Nan Zhen, Fang Yao laughed several times.

When the blessing was over, he secretly rubbed the sore corners of his mouth——

Tired of laughing.

Nan Zhen took off her mask when she got off the high platform.

There was a thin sweat in her hair, which wet the broken hair on her forehead. She wiped it with her sleeves, and took advantage of the terrain to look at the river bank from a distance.

A row of young people have already taken their positions, waiting for an order from the people on the shore, they plunge into the water like arrows from the string, scrambling to be the first.

Layers of white waves were slapped by the arms, and figures appeared and appeared among them, accompanied by the cheers and exclamations of the spectators.

Nan Zhen squinted her eyes and looked at the finish line. No. 1 was half a body away from No. 2, and it was hopeful that she would come out on top.

The sun was getting hotter and hotter. Nan Zhen raised her hand to slightly block it. From the corner of her eye, she inadvertently glanced at the person beside her, and was slightly taken aback, "Gui Ming, why didn't you go?"

He is about the same age as these wavers, and has lived in the town all year round, so he should be very good at water.

Unexpectedly, Gui Ming waved his hands again and again, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.

Nan Zhen didn't know why, so the person next to him explained, "He fell into the water when he was a child and almost drowned in the river. Fortunately, there were many children at that time, and they yelled for help, and they made a noise to attract the adults, so they were saved."

Since then, Guiming has never been close to the river bank, and every year at the Water God Festival, he also stands far away.

"That's it..." Nan Zhen nodded, smiled at him, and didn't mention it again.

Guiming raised the corners of his mouth, lowered his eyes, suppressing the coldness in his eyes.

Yes, if it wasn't for his playmate at that time, he would have died long ago.

But if they hadn't done it, he wouldn't have been drowned.

Seeing that no one noticed him around, he left quietly.

Anyway, in Pingyu Town, he is just a dispensable person.

Gui Ming turned around very quickly and decisively, causing Xiao Rongxi to take a second look.

I always feel that this person has a story.

"Your Majesty," Nan Zhen raised her head and wondered when she saw his brows slightly twisted, "What's wrong?"

Xiao Rongxi withdrew his gaze, shook his head, "It's okay."

Nan Zhen glanced at the direction Guiming left, and there was no one there.

She didn't delve too deeply into it, but instead pointed to a thin man walking towards them and said, "He's the one who won the first place just now, and got a lot of money."

The crowd pushed a little, Xiao Rongxi protected her in his arms, and followed the flow to make way for the man, "How much?"

"Twelve."

It is enough for ordinary people to use for half a year.

Xiao Rongxi nodded, and whispered to Nan Zhen, "It's really a lot, and it can be seen that this time the Water God Festival has cost a lot of money. I just don't know what the yamen's plan is."

The highlight of the celebration of the Water God Festival was in the morning, and it was more than half of the time now, except for the plainclothes government servants who shuttled through the crowd from time to time, there was no other movement.

"Shi Hengxin, why did you leave so soon? Don't stay and play for a while." Someone shouted beside him.

The man named Shi Hengxin paused, and said with a smile, "Go ahead and play, I still have something to do at home, so I'll go back first."

"What can you do today! You just earned ten taels of silver, why don't you treat the big guy to a meal?"

Shi Hengxin: "Next time, next time... Please make room, thank you."

He pushed aside the crowd and walked away.

Seeing that the lord has left, the booers waved their hands without any intention of playing around, "This guy is mysterious. I heard that he always goes to the pharmacy recently. Could it be that he has some kind of illness?"

"That can't be done, I can swim very fast today, and I'm very strong."

……

The small discussions were quickly covered up in the hustle and bustle, only Nan Zhen and Xiao Rongxi were a little silent.

The two exchanged a look, and tacitly raised their legs to follow.

Shi Hengxin lives on East Street, not far from Fang Yao's house.

At this time, most people in the town gathered on the river bank, and there were few pedestrians on the long street.

Shi Hengxin didn't notice that there were two tails following him, so he went straight home, tied the door, and walked to the backyard.
