Chapter 155(1/2)
The next day, Mrs. Bai, Miss Sun's mother and daughter and I set out on the journey to Wupeng Town.
We set off at dawn and finally arrived at Wupeng Ancient Town at around three o'clock in the afternoon.
Since the Sun mother and daughter were both in weak health, the bumpy ride in the car for a day was a bit unbearable, so Mrs. Bai decided to find a B&B in Wupeng Town to stay for a day and wait for the Sun mother and daughter to get some sleep and recover.
Let’s investigate the matter of Yin Taohua again.
And her arrangement also gave me the opportunity to openly skip work and go out to play.
The ancient town is a place that many people dream of traveling to.
If it hadn't been for Miss Sun, I would never have had the chance to come and take a look.
While Mrs. Bai went to talk to Mrs. Sun and had no time to care about me, I took Xuan Ye and slipped out quietly, running to the bustling streets of the ancient town and letting loose.
Wupeng Ancient Town is a gathering place for ethnic minorities. Seven or eight ethnic minorities gather in a palm-sized area. The local people have also seized on this feature and are determined to build Wupeng Ancient Town into a tourist attraction rich in ethnic minority culture.
Therefore, in the streets and alleys, not only local ethnic costumes are sold, but also other rare ethnic costumes. Looking around, the streets are almost full of tourists wearing colorful ethnic clothes. Occasionally, there are one or two men and women in modern clothes mixed in, which makes them look a bit different.
Out of place.
In order to blend in with everyone, I also picked out a Miao dress with antique elements from a specialty ethnic clothing store, bought it, and put it on.
In the small fitting room, I put on a long tube top dress embroidered with butterflies and flowers, a dark blue wide-sleeved coat with silver ornaments on the shoulders, a belt with tiger head bells and silver butterflies, and put on
A pair of blue embroidered cloth shoes.
Wearing a complete set, he looks like an ancient Miao Wu tribesman.
After I changed my clothes, the landlady took me to the back room to change my makeup.
The waist-length hair was also tied up by the boss lady to look like an ancient girl, with her flowing black hair hanging down her back, and her hair stacked like clouds, intricately tied to the left and right sides of the back of her head.
Two pairs of flat silver hairpins with butterfly flowers were symmetrically inserted into the bun. The landlady picked another pair of hairpins with silver butterfly tassels and inserted them into my ears. The silver tassels swayed slightly, creating a pleasant sound of silverware clashing.
I shook my head, and the silver flowers and silver butterflies on the hairpin also trembled. They looked smart and cute, which suited my liking.
A blue butterfly is printed on my cheek, which makes me feel more like the Miao people.
Hang up two finely crafted, heavy silver tassel earrings, and you've got a complete makeover from start to finish.
Carrying my own clothes, I found Xuan Ye at the door of the store wearing a costume that Xuan Ye had never seen before, and when I threw myself into his arms, he froze for three seconds and did not react.
When I raised my head and showed him my face, he suddenly calmed down.
"Madam, you are dressed like this..." He put his arm around my waist with one hand and brushed my hair away from my forehead with the other.
I blinked at him, "Huh? What's wrong?"
His eyes were full of love, he held my face and pecked my red lips: "You are more beautiful, I love you even more."
"You." I joked helplessly at him: "You just like ancient styles."
"I like my wife. No matter what she is, I can't put it down."
I put my arms around his waist with satisfaction and lay in his arms to discuss with him:
"This is an ancient town. Everyone wears different clothes. Even I put on ancient clothes. Even if you show up, you won't look different...A Xuan, please stop being invisible.
Would you like to show up and go shopping with me? It’s inconvenient for me to even talk to you in front of others if you get along with me like this."
He always responds to my requests, and this time is no exception.
Nodding lightly, he held my waist and rubbed it ambiguously: "Okay, I have solved the blindness, now my wife can go shopping with peace of mind."
"Axuan is so nice." I rewarded him with a kiss, and then happily led him to continue shopping.
Summer is the peak tourist season in the ancient town, firstly because of the low temperature, and secondly because you can enjoy the late lotus flowers.
The famous purple lotus in the ancient town blooms later than the lotus in other places. The lotus outside has probably bloomed by now, but the purple lotus in the ancient town has just bloomed. The flowering period is just right and can bloom until autumn.
In addition, the most famous black fish in Wupeng Ancient Town is also the most plump at this time of the year. Therefore, the market business in Wupeng Town is also in full swing at the moment. There are countless local people coming to the streets to do business. This place is particularly suitable for hunting for treasures.
After walking a few steps, I had already bought a bunch of handicraft souvenirs.
I took Xuan Ye's hand and rushed to a stall selling hydrangea ornaments. I took out the money and bought the most beautiful one. Then I gave the hydrangea to Xuan Ye and said to him seriously:
"In our Miao tribe, there is an ancient legend. If a woman of the tribe meets a man who is compatible with her at a marriageable age, she can embroider a small hydrangea and give it to him. In this way, the moon god will protect the woman and her beloved.
The men got together smoothly, got married and had children, got married and grew old together.
After the man receives the hydrangea, he must put it under the pillow and press it, which means to accept the woman's affection and respond to the woman's love. This will make it easier to receive the blessing of the moon god.
On the other hand, if a man loses a woman's hydrangea, it means that the man and the woman have no chance of being together in this life. All the previous debts are unjust debts and cannot be counted, and they will only pass by each other in this life."
"It doesn't count, it's all unjust debt?" He held the hydrangea and asked me politely: "Then it was not made by the woman's hands, but was given by the woman's hands? It also needs to be pressed under the pillow and cannot be lost.
What?"
I touched my chin and said: "This is how the rumor spread. It only says that you can't lose the woman who made it herself and gave it to her... half and half, right? Anyway, I just gave it to you for fun."
"Then I want it made by my wife." He asked me arrogantly.
I looked up at him, pursed my lips and smiled sweetly: "I'll make it for you when I get home."
"good."
I then took him to buy shadow puppets on the street and spent 400 yuan to ask a craftsman to carve two small shadow puppets in our looks.
"Look, this is you and this is me. As long as these two shadow puppets are together, we will never be separated..."
I handed the male shadow puppet to Xuan Ye. Xuan Ye took it and admired it, then corrected him: "Madam is wrong. As long as the two of us are together, this pair of shadow puppets will never be separated."
I smiled happily at him: "It's all the same, it's all the same."
Putting a pair of shadow puppets into a small box, I suddenly had an idea while holding the box.
"Axuan."
"Um?"
"Can't a human camera capture you?"
"No...it's just a violation of the laws of the Three Realms."
"I want to take a photo with you...I want to keep your appearance."
He was silent for a moment and said, "Madam, if you want, then go."
I hesitated: "Wouldn't it cause you any trouble?"
He held my hand tightly and said with great tenderness: "As for me, there are not many things in this world that can cause me trouble. Besides, taking photos with my wife is something I could never ask for."
"Xuan Ye..." I moved towards him and hugged him, "You are so kind."
He touched my head with endless tenderness: "Be good, the happiest thing in my life is to see my wife happy. If my wife is happy, I will be fine."
What kind of virtue have I accumulated in my previous life to meet such a good person in this life...
Inside the photo studio.
The young cameraman waved to us with a smile on his face and made arrangements: "Sir, Madam, come closer, and come closer."
Against the vermilion background, the frozen photos look like wedding photos taken by a newlywed.
It's eye-catching and refreshing to watch.
"I have been working as a videographer in the town for more than ten years and have photographed thousands of couples. There are few couples who can cooperate as well as the husband and wife, and look good and doting no matter how they pose.
It can be seen that the relationship between the husband and the wife is very deep. Tsk, beautiful! It can be used as a wedding photo! The two of them dressed up suddenly made me think of a few words. Talented man and beautiful woman, handsome gentleman, graceful lady, harp and music...
…
I'll adjust the lighting later, so I don't need to retouch the two of them. Their looks are so impressive! Although the characters captured by the camera will look fatter, I think the photos of the two of them are as good-looking as real people.
, any further revision would be superfluous.”
Originally, I didn't even think about retouching the pictures.
The original purpose was to preserve his true appearance, but after editing the picture, he no longer looked like him...
After the photos were taken, I selected a few for the photographer to develop and bought all the remaining negatives.
After taking the photo, the sky outside was already a little dark.
six o'clock.
The summer days are long, there is still enough light outside, the sun has set, and the moon is still hiding in the clouds.
He and I walked to a remote stone arch bridge where no one was seen, and stood at the highest point of the bridge, leaning on the railing to enjoy the evening breeze.
"The photos were also taken. One of my wishes has been fulfilled. I want to think about what other wishes I have not yet fulfilled... Well, I want to hold a wedding with you. I'm not in a hurry. I want to travel alone with you and take you to sit there.
A Ferris wheel ride, I want to take you to meet your parents... the meeting with your parents will be ignored for the time being..."
"Why don't you think about it for now?" he asked with a smile.
I clapped my fingers and said, "Because my mother-in-law... when she sees you, she will be thinking about chopping you up and soaking you in wine. Bai Yueyue... the last time the white tiger appeared in front of her, if I remember correctly,
Since you didn't show up that time, she probably hasn't seen you.
She is a female hooligan, and she often likes to snatch things from me. Whenever I have something that she thinks is good, she will use all kinds of skills to snatch it... You are so good-looking, I am afraid that she will fight with me when she sees you.
fight.
