The long street near the embankment was crowded with vendors selling various small items, shouting at the top of their lungs to come alive.
Literati, poets, and celebrities are constantly coming and going. The gentle breeze of the river, combined with this peaceful and tranquil scenery, is really a picture of "Along the River During the Qingming Festival"
Yunxuan stopped in front of a vendor selling chimes. On the stall, there were all kinds of chimes, large and small.
Normally, Yunxuan would occasionally search on Baidu to get over the addiction of looking at pictures. Unexpectedly, she came across a real one today. She became curious for a moment, but was attracted by a jade chime among them.
He looked at it, making the appearance of a pair of mandarin ducks, and picked it up. It was exquisite and translucent, with a sonorous sound. When touched in his hand, it felt soft and warm.
The stall owner selling chime clocks was a daughter-in-law. She had a square scarf wrapped around her head, and her eyes were shrewd. She looked at the young master and the young lady in front of her. They were so well-dressed. She must have belonged to a wealthy family, so she was cautious.
When he wanted to consummate the deal, he said with a smile: "Young girl has good eyesight, and she fell in love with this pair of red mandarin ducks at a glance. If you take this red mandarin duck, you will have a good marriage for a hundred years. I saw that the girl's happy event is approaching, so I just happened to take this red mandarin duck."
It’s a blessing, I’ll be with you every day, and you’ll be sure to be your future husband-in-law!”
"Why is it called the Bloody Mandarin Duck? It sounds a little unlucky. It's green, so how can it be bloody?" Yunxuan frowned, a little confused about the name of the Bloody Mandarin Duck.
The daughter-in-law must have known what Yunxuan wanted to ask, so she wanted to show off. She is a woman, and she doesn't read many poems and books, but she is very sophisticated about some secrets of unofficial history. She wiped her face and said with a smile: "
The girl didn’t understand. It’s called the Bloody Mandarin Duck. It certainly has its origin. It symbolizes the undying love between lovers. Even if they are separated, they will be reunited. According to legend, when this pair of mandarin ducks
When it turns into blood, you can see Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai. No matter what kind of difficulties the lovers encounter, this pair of gods can help them solve their problems and let them be together for a hundred years."
"Is there still such a thing?" Yunxuan smiled slightly. Regardless of whether the legend was true or not, the pair of bloody mandarin ducks indeed made her happy, so she asked, "How much is this worth?"
"I think the girl is very good-looking, and my aunt won't win anything from you. One hundred taels, do you win?" The wife rolled her eyes twice, with a smile on her face, and held out a thumb.
