Stepmother Shaoguang

Chapter 27
The sky and night are as cool as water, lying down to watch Altair Vega.

Tonight is the Qixi Festival. There are men and women meeting on the banks of the river, and there are lantern shows and poetry shows organized by the government for residents to have fun.

Lu Fengju fell in love with Shi Nianjiao at the first sight at the Qixi Lantern Festival three years ago. At that time, Shi Nianjiao was admiring the lake on a painting boat, surrounded by other girls and maids of the Shi family. She was undoubtedly the most eye-catching in her fragrant clothes and temples, like stars holding the moon In general, he and Lu Fengju looked at each other for a moment.

It was this moment that made Lu Fengju's heart flutter when he remembered it decades later. She was still wearing a red dress that day.

This year's Qixi Festival, the day passed as usual, but He Shaoguang could feel that the maids below were about to move.

Not to mention whether they have met their sweethearts, just thinking about the bustling scene along the river bank makes them fascinated.

The Lu family would not give them a holiday, so He Shaoguang finished his dinner very early, excused that he wanted to go shopping, and took Zhijun and Nijun two personal maids to go out.

Today is the little girl's day, and she is barely a girl, no one is holding her back.

So she quietly combed back the girl's hair bun, and put on a bright and light summer shirt, so that no one could see her identity.

Zhijun and Nijun also specially dressed up today. They took off their plain maid costumes and put on clothes they made themselves. The pink and pink ones look delicate and pretty.

Zhijun is elegant, Nijun is cute, He Shaoguang never let them do hard work, just follow him.

Dressed up like this, the two of them don't look like maids, they are both thin-skinned and tender, but they look like ordinary girls.

Feeling that he had done something wrong, He Shaoguang took the girl and sneaked out of the house while everyone was resting in his courtyard.

It was already very lively outside, it was dark and the lights were on.

Surrounded by a bustling crowd, I heard a little girl telling her family that there will be a fireworks show on the upper floor of the city gate.

Walking out of the official residence area of ​​Qilin Street, the scene along the street becomes more lively.

They were all small vendors selling cosmetics, powders and ointments, silk flower headdresses, and various snacks and snacks. He Shaoguang bought a candied haws for each of them, and ate them as he walked.

Although the syrup wrapped around the candied haws is cloudy and not as bright and beautiful as the later generations, it is very sweet, and the hawthorns are big and plump. Seeing the two maids eating happily, He Shaoguang wanted to pick out some other things.

When I walked to a jewelry stall, the owner of the stall was a man about 30 years old, with a baby on his back and a baby girl in his hand. He really dragged his family out to set up a stall.

Seeing the three of He Shaoguang, they came over to greet them warmly.

No matter how exquisite the ornaments outside were, they couldn't compare to those in her dowry.It seems that He Shaoguang's workmanship is a little rough, but her shopping instinct prompted her to choose a pair of silk flowers in the shape of golden pearl stamens and begonias, and an agate silver round bracelet, which is only a few taels of silver. Immediately put the silk flower on the head.

"This girl is so pretty, and wearing silk flowers is even more beautiful than flowers." The stall owner boasted to He Shaoguang in Mandarin with an obvious southern accent.

"Are you from Huizhou?" Ni Jun was a little surprised, it seemed that he met a fellow villager.

The boss also smiled: "Yes, I am from Chengkan, where are you from in Huizhou?"

"Jonglin's."

The boss understood: "That's a bit far away."

"Yes, otherwise I can ask you to send a message to my mother when you go back." Ni Jun said regretfully, it is not easy to meet her old family here, and she hasn't been home for many years, I don't know what mother is doing Woolen cloth?

"It's from Qionglin!" The little girl was wearing a small shofar braid, and she was just at the age of learning to speak.Hearing the conversation between the boss and Nijun, I thought it was fun, so I learned it, and I even giggled.

"So cute."

When He Shaoguang saw the white and tender child, he couldn't walk.

"Shopkeeper He!" He suddenly heard someone calling himself from behind, and when He Shaoguang turned his head, he saw that boy Xue Ran. He was wearing a blue robe, embroidered with pine and bamboo, and he was white, like a small tender bamboo pestle. Over there.

Looking to the side, it wasn't Zuo Fu, but He Xing'er who looked a little familiar.

She was wearing a double-ringed bun, and she was wearing a newly made floral cross-neck top and a peach pink skirt that He Shaoguang made for her.In the past few months, the food has been improved, and life has become more comfortable. A lot of flesh has grown on his face, and he looks much healthier and more handsome, and he is no longer sickly.

Seeing He Shaoguang's surprised look, He Xing'er was already embarrassed, but now she was even more shy, and said softly, "Ma'am."

He Shaoguang saw that she was like a little sister, what kind of thoughts could two 13-year-old children have, they just played well.But she seems to have forgotten that this is the ancient time when they got married at the age of fifteen or sixteen.

She patted her on the shoulder: "Go play with Xue Jiansheng, don't follow me. Do you have enough money?"

"I"

Before he could say anything, Xue Ran rushed to answer: "Today is Qiqiao Festival, I am a man, I should pay for my girlfriend!"

He Shaoguang was amused by him: "Then I'm really sorry for Supervisor Xue, how about asking Xing'er to give you a little treat later?"

After chatting for a few words, the group of people split up and went shopping separately.Following the steps of the crowd, He Shaoguang was brought to the Jinshui River. Someone put water lanterns on the river, and there were also rabbit lanterns and flower lanterns hung on the tree branches. The lights were brilliant.

In the painting boat off the shore, many official ladies who have not left the court are drinking and having fun on it. The pale pink curtain hangs outside the window of the boat, and only a gust of fragrant wind can be smelled, but it is not clear who is who.

He Shaoguang bought a water lantern, squatted on the bank, gently put it into the water, and made his wish: I hope that relatives and friends far away can forget her and live a good life.

For the past ten years or so, she has always wished so.

I don't know where I am alone, like green pineapple chasing water, only thinking about the well-being of my old friend.

Duan Chao does not exist in the history of her time and space, even if she disappears in this time and space, she will not be able to return to the original world.

To live here with peace of mind is the only thing she can do for herself and He Shaoguang.

They didn't go back until the end of the Xu Dynasty, and the few people who had been exhausted and paralyzed for a long time, He Shaoguang fell on the small bed with his head up.

Zhijun and Nijun were exhausted after walking for so long, but they still stood up to wash her up.

Driven away by He Shaoguang: "Don't worry about me, I'll wash up and sleep by myself later, or let Wanjun Xiangjun come, you go back and lie down too."

Being kicked out of the room by her like this, He Shaoguang didn't bother to move any more, didn't take off his makeup, and even fell asleep in such a daze.

It was like a dream in the dream, and I couldn't wake up no matter what.

Dreaming of He Shaoguang when she was a child, she was in the water the moment she passed through, and her body began to sink.

Someone on the shore found her and shouted desperately to find someone to rescue her.

But she was so tired and struggling, as if someone had tied her hands and feet.

He Shaoguang had just finished working overtime at the company, and was about to fall asleep.

Shen Shen closed his eyes.
