In the first month of Kaifeng Prefecture, officials were allowed to go out. Not only men, but also women were not allowed to go out.
Many vendors are well aware of women's preferences and put on display all kinds of beautiful clothing, such as gold skirts, satin vests, satin bras, gold hats, hair wipes, garland hairpins, bamboo baskets, and gold hats.
side.
The dazzling array of things dazzled the women who took advantage of the first lunar month to enjoy the night tour.
At this moment, Panlou Street was lined with colorful sheds and lights hung high everywhere, illuminating the whole street as if it were daytime.
My ears were filled with the shouts of the vendors. The men and women who were visiting were all wearing brocades, and the women were wearing pearls and jade. Even the young and romantic young people were wearing hairpins one after another.
For a time, the streets were filled with people, the noise in the streets, and the prosperity of Bianjing were like heaven and earth.
However, at this moment, Zhang Yue had no time to look at the grand scene on the street. He and Shi Qi Niang looked at each other, but unfortunately there was a maid between them.
The atmosphere was a little subtle, Zhang Yue quickly found a topic and said: "Girl, I haven't been here for nearly a year since New Year's Eve, but I didn't expect to see you again until now."
Seventeenth Mother bowed slightly to Zhang Yue and said, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Zhang."
Seeing each other again after a long absence can be said in a thousand words, but I don’t know how to mention it.
The maid looked at the two of them and smiled but said nothing.
The stall owner here has already said: "Little lady, are you still good at this mother-of-pearl box?"
The seventeenth mother nodded, and the maid beside her said deliberately: "Bade, but my wife is not good at this. I wonder if the husband of the Zhang family can win it?"
Zhang Yue was stunned, that's no problem, the problem is that he forgot to bring money when he went out.
Zhang Yue looked into the money bag and found only dozens of copper coins, so he said: "I was supposed to be of service to the girl, but it's a pity that I forgot to bring the money with me in a hurry."
After saying this, Zhang Yue raised his money bag and shook it. He really explained what it means to be so poor that he had to make a helpless expression.
The stall owner couldn't help but be dumbfounded and thought, you are really shameless. You don't have a penny with you, but you dare to go out and date such a beautiful woman here. Your character...
Seeing Zhang Yue's helpless look, Qi Niang looked at Zhang Yue with a smile and said to her heart, Zhang Jun is really a sincere gentleman.
The Seventeenth Mother said to her maid: "Give the money bag to Mr. Zhang!"
The maid said yes and then took off the money bag from her waist and handed it to Zhang Yue. After Zhang Yue took it, he felt that his hands were heavy, and there were all silver tablets inside.
As expected, she is the daughter of a rich man, and she brings so many silver wads with her whenever she goes out for a walk.
The stall owner said angrily: "Lang Jun, are we going to bet now?"
From what Zhang Yue said, it seemed that the stall owner had defined himself as a man who had a bad stomach since childhood.
Zhang Yue glanced at the beautiful woman next to him and said, "There is nothing I can do. It's just a misunderstanding."
"Bo!"
"Okay!"
After saying that, the stall owner took out five copper coins and came out.
Zhang Yue asked: "Wait a minute, are the rules pure, pure, or inconsistent?"
The stall owner said: "The rule we all have is purity. If four pure and five pure are thrown, the mother-of-pearl box will belong to the young man... No, it will all belong to the young lady."
Zhang Yue thought to himself that the probability of four pure and five pure was low. So he said: "Wait a minute, let me check this trowel first."
The stall owner smiled and handed the copper coin to Zhang Yue. After Zhang Yue saw that there was nothing frivolous about the copper coin, he immediately took a silver wat from his purse and threw it beside the stall.
The stall owner immediately threw the copper coin on the ground, only to see it rolling around for a while, and finally ended up with three characters facing up.
The maid and Qi Niang on the side both looked regretful, just one word away.
Seeing the stall owner accepting the silver wat with a smile, Zhang Yue took out another silver wat unwillingly.
Tossed again and lost another silver wat.
Zhang Yue thought to himself, he said he didn't want to gamble, but now he started gambling. There was once a man from Song Dynasty who wanted to win a yellow tangerine, but he spent 10,000 yuan but couldn't get it into his mouth.
This is because I can't bear to invest the cost, so it's better not to get involved in this.
"Do you still want to gamble, young man?" the stall owner said with a smile.
Looking at the Seventeenth Mother and her maid, Zhang Yue thought that it would be better to have another chance.
Zhang Yue said: "Blog again."
After saying that, he threw a silver wat on the stall.
The stall owner said happily: "Okay."
Zhang Yue said: "Wait a minute, it's me who will win this time."
The stall owner smiled and said: "That's okay."
Zhang Yue put the copper coin in his hand, held it for a while, and then threw it on the ground.
At this moment, the maid was so nervous that she closed her eyes.
Zhang Yue saw that the copper coin was reversed, and it happened to be five characters facing up, so he finally won.
When the stall owner met Zhang Yue, he thought he had made a huge profit, but now he was a little annoyed and said: "It's Wuchun. Well, this mother-of-pearl box belongs to Xiao Langjun."
Zhang Yue said happily: "Thank you very much, shopkeeper."
The stall owner smiled and said: "You're welcome, you're welcome."
As he said that, the stall owner handed the mother-of-pearl box to Zhang Yue, then poked his waist with his elbow, and whispered in a language that all men could understand: "My little lady's appearance is just like that of an immortal. I really don't know."
Where did you get such good luck from?"
The stall owner's words were full of envy, and Zhang Yue thought after hearing this, that although this stall owner wasn't much else, he really had a good eye.
Then Zhang Yue handed the mother-of-pearl box to Qi Niang.
The Seventeenth Mother was naturally very happy. She pointed at the pair of glazed lanterns in front of her and said, "Zhang Jun, there are those pair of glazed lanterns. Please help me get them too."
OK. This is gambling addiction.
Zhang Yue would not refuse, so he helped Qi Niang acquire a few utensils.
At this time, the most lively time on Panlou Street has passed. It is the warm night and the wind is gentle. Zhang Yue and Qi Niang are walking together on the streets of Bianjing. As for the maidservant, holding a bunch of things in her hand, she follows him full of resentment.
Behind you.
The Seventeenth Mother took a fancy to a man's leather jacket beside the stall, but it cost ten thousand dollars. The Seventeenth Mother didn't mind the price, so she bought it on the spot and gave it to Zhang Yue. She said: "Mr. Zhang, it's very cold in the Gongyuan Courtyard. I have this fur coat."
It can help you keep out the wind and cold."
At this moment, Seventeenth Mother put aside her daughter's restraint and generously gave the robe to Zhang Yue.
What else could Zhang Yue say and accept it immediately? As soon as he takes one bite of this meal, there will be countless more. It seems that his gastrointestinal condition has not been very good recently.
After a while, Zhang Yue and Qi Niang finally met Wu Anzhi and his wife Wang.
Mrs. Wang looked at Zhang Yue who was standing with Qi Niang in surprise and couldn't help but think about it. This boy is really extraordinary. I'm afraid my father might not be able to recognize people that day.
Zhang Yue didn't know whether he should say hello to Wu Anchi, but Wu Anchi pretended not to see Zhang Yue and said to Wang, "Madam, let's take a look here and I'll buy you a pair of hairpins."
Zhang Yue was deeply moved when he heard this. His second uncle is such a good person. This is creating opportunities for himself.
With a smile on her face, Wang turned around and left as Wu Anzhi said, "The young man of the Zhang family and the seventeenth sister look like a perfect match. What a perfect couple!"
Wu Anchi smiled and said: "That's right, this is the son-in-law chosen by dad himself."
On Panjia Street, Zhang Yue and Qi Niang faced each other.
After a moment of silence, Zhang Yue said: "Thank you very much, Miss, for the cow-ear pen and cold clothes. I will take them into the examination room with me during the provincial examination."
The Seventeenth Mother showed a shy look on her face and then said: "Zhang Jun is about to succeed... I hope you will succeed... but I hope your heart is like mine!"
After saying this, Seventeenth Mother solemnly bowed to Zhang Yue and left.
The maid also hurriedly went to Zhang Yue Yifu and then left with Qi Niang.
