Women Wearing Men: The Growth Path of the Bastards of the Aristocratic Family

One day, in Shanchang’s courtyard, Su Qi was playing with the crickets in the pot with great interest. He suddenly remembered something and raised his head and asked, “Shanchang, will the academy be closed on the Qixi Festival? I heard that in the city of Hangzhou There is a lantern festival."

"You think about taking a vacation all day long." Xu Chengyu scolded, and took a sip of tea unhurriedly, "I will, from noon on the day of Qixi Festival to noon on the next day, a total of one day."

Su Qi's eyes lit up, and he excitedly said to Gu Yunji, "Yunji, then let's call Shang Chengyan and go to Hangzhou Fucheng to watch the lantern festival!"

Gu Yunji doesn't like to go to crowded places, and has no interest in it: "I'm afraid that at that time, you won't be able to see any lights except other people's heads. Besides, isn't Qixi Festival always a grand event for your daughter's house? Why are you joining in the fun?"

Su Qi disapproved on his face: "You don't know this, do you? Who said that only girls' homes celebrate Qixi Festival? The seventh day of July is Kuixing's birthday, and we scholars can go to worship Kuixing for high school! Even if we don't do anything, Isn’t it okay to join in the fun? If I don’t go out to get some fresh air, I’m going to get sick from boredom in the academy.”

Gu Yunji was still hesitating, but Xu Chengyu who was on the side also chimed in and said: "It's rare to have a festival, so it's good to go out for a stroll. Shuhua and I will also go down the mountain to pay homage to the Weaver Girl. If you want to go out, you can come with us. I will be there when the time comes. Pack up two guest rooms in the house in the city, we can go shopping for a while that night, and return to the academy the next morning."

Su Qi was even happier: "That's a good relationship! This way we can have more fun."

Seeing that everyone was very interested, Gu Yunji no longer refused, and agreed graciously.

On the afternoon of the Qixi Festival, Xu Chengyu took Xu Shuhua down the mountain with Gu Yunji, Su Qi, and Cheng Yan to watch the Lantern Festival in Hangzhou City.

When a few people arrived in the city, it was already evening.The streets and alleys are crowded with people, and you can see pretty girls traveling together, or lovers and couples traveling together.The street is full of stalls selling all kinds of gadgets, and the shouts of vendors keep coming and going, making it look very lively.

Before the night falls, all kinds of lanterns have been hung on the roadside. Although the effect of the colorful lights is not obvious in the daytime, it looks radiant against the red sunset glow in the western sky. artistic conception.

Among the group of people, Gu Yunji and Cheng Yan's personalities were relatively calm. With Xu Chengyu's status as an elder, it was naturally not easy to act too excited, let alone Xu Shuhua was a woman.

In contrast, only Su Qi was exceptionally evasive, scurrying around like a monkey, stopping to take a closer look when he saw something strange.

"Qiaoqiao rice, Qiaoqiao rice made of glutinous rice balls! It's sweet, soft and delicious, pass by and try it—"

Hearing the yelling of a peddler on the side of the road, Su Qi immediately moved over curiously, pointed at the small white and round dumplings on the stall and said, "What is this?"

Seeing someone patronizing, the peddler immediately introduced enthusiastically: "Master, this is called Qiaoqiao rice. In some places, Qiaoqiao rice is dumplings, but I made it with glutinous rice balls. There are various fillings inside. Seeing that different things represent different meanings, it’s auspicious.”

"What are you packing?"

"Most of the balls are filled with peanuts and hazelnuts, and there are some special ones, such as silk thread - representing ingenuity; red dates - early marriage; copper coins - good fortune. Generally, those who buy Qiaoqiao rice are girls' homes, so there are only these meanings, of course. If you buy it and want to try something new, it's fine."

Hearing this, Su Qi became interested: "It's quite interesting to say so, give me a share!" Then, he pointed to Xu Chengyu and the others behind him, "And they all have a share each. .”

"Okay!" The hawker happily agreed, and quickly served Qiaoqiao rice for everyone.

Gu Yunji smiled and said, "You can just eat it yourself, why did you bring us along?"

"It's only interesting if people eat it more, so it's auspicious." Su Qi shoved Qiaoqiao rice into his hand without hesitation, "Take it as a cushion first."

After all, he didn't wait for others, and started to eat first. After chewing a few dumplings carefully, he still didn't eat any special stuffing, so he couldn't help but feel a little discouraged: "It's all peanuts, and one has peanuts. There is no meaning."

Cheng Yan said: "I have hazelnuts here, nothing special, it seems that there are still a few dumplings wrapped with red dates."

"Hmm!" Xu Chengyu ate and ate, and suddenly his face wrinkled, as if his teeth had been bitten by something.

Then he put his hand to his mouth, slowly took out a copper coin, and said with a smile, "I'm lucky. I'll be lucky if I get a copper coin."

Seeing that someone really ate special stuffing, Su Qi cheered up again, looked at Xu Shuhua at the side and said, "What about Miss Xu? What did you eat?"

When Su Qi asked, Xu Shuhua happened to notice something contained in the dumpling, so she carefully traced the shape of the thing in her mouth. After a while, she raised her eyebrows and spat out a date pit: "It's a red date." .”

The peddler said auspicious words at the right time: "This young lady is so dignified, beautiful, gentle and charming, and now she has eaten red dates that symbolize early marriage. In the future, she will definitely be able to marry a good-looking gentleman who is a gold medal in high school!"

Although it is happy to receive blessings, Xu Shuhua is a daughter who has not left the court after all. When the peddler said this in front of her father and boys of the same age, a blush suddenly appeared on her face, and she smiled reservedly.

While talking, Gu Yunji, who was eating the dumpling, suddenly had a strange expression on his face. He used his tongue to feel it a few times uncertainly, and finally spit out a date stone.

"Are you a jujube too?" Su Qi raised his eyebrows, and said in a teasing tone, "It seems that we, Yun Ji, are going to marry early—" As he spoke, he pretended to casually glance at Xu Shuhua next to him.

Hearing this, Gu Yunji was also a little uncomfortable.It's fine for the daughter's family to be blessed with an early marriage. What's the matter with him eating red dates by himself?But besides him, Xu Shuhua also got it.

Two unmarried men and women of the right age both ate red dates, which symbolized early marriage, and were teased so meaningfully by Su Qi, Gu Yunji instantly felt that even the air was dyed a bit ambiguous.

Seeing that Xu Shuhua was so ashamed that he hid half of his body behind Xu Chengyu, Gu Yunji coughed lightly, and quickly stopped Su Qi's words: "It's just a dumpling, so much talking. Aren't you going to worship Kuixing? I will accompany you now go!"

Gu Yunji's way of changing the subject was too blunt, on the contrary, it made people think that the back of him hurriedly walked forward, which seemed a bit like running away.

"Okay, okay, I won't say anything, let's worship Kuixing!" Su Qi followed his words, but with a clear expression on his face, he turned his head and pouted at Cheng Yan.Seeing this, Cheng Yan shook his head and laughed, then quickened his pace and followed
Standing by the side, Xu Chengyu took everything in his eyes. Seeing the reaction of his apprentice and daughter, he stroked his beard leisurely, smiled and said nothing.
