The costumes of the Golden Boy and Girl are a bit cumbersome, with the typical style of the Yehuo Dynasty, gorgeous and grand.
Ye Wu and Chen Xiaoyu were both dressed in red, with golden crowns on their heads, but Jade Girl's crown looked more like a phoenix crown.
Where the two of them were heading, they seemed to be getting married in the next moment.
They probably all thought of this and turned their heads in unison.
The people around looked at them with smiles.
"These two kids are a perfect match!"
"No, at that station, those golden boys and girls in previous years have as much aura as them."
The village chief was wearing sacrificial clothes, but all in black. He looked at the two of them and smiled and stroked his beard.
"I just said that my choice was right. Let's go, let's take our things and set off!"
A group of children suddenly shouted for joy.
The adults pushed carts one after another, and the carts were filled with goods prepared for mutual trading.
Almost everyone was dressed very festively, and the girl was holding a lantern in her hand.
Yushan is covered with a layer of snow, but the snow has just stopped, making it very soft and squeaky when walking on, and not slippery.
When he arrived at the temple fair, Ye Wucai discovered that the scale of the temple fair was actually quite large.
As Yushan is so big, there are more than a dozen villages of various sizes, with a total population of several thousand people.
The Niangniang Temple is located in a valley, and there are already many villages in the valley displaying the items they brought.
When Dongqing Village appeared, it immediately attracted a lot of attention, especially Ye Wu and Chen Xiaoyu, who played the golden boy and girl.
The two of them are outstanding in appearance and conspicuously dressed. Standing together, they really look like the golden boy in front of the Empress Temple.
Along the way, Ye Wu visited the temple fair and felt the enthusiasm.
Probably because of his role, people stopped to say hello to him wherever he went.
And the aunt held Chen Xiaoyu's hand and kept praising her, praising her for being right with Ye Wudeng.
Chen Xiaoyu's face was so red that she probably didn't need any rouge.
She followed Ye Wu and looked at the surrounding stalls with him.
A voice suddenly reached my ears.
"come here."
She subconsciously followed the sound and found a woman in purple looking at her outside the crowd.
Chen Xiaoyu felt uneasy, glanced at Ye Wu who was looking at some gadgets curiously, paused, and then walked towards the woman in purple.
The strange thing is that as she walked along, the scene where many people were supposed to be surrounding her to say hello did not appear again, as if no one saw her.
When she walked in front of the woman in purple, the area around her was completely empty, and all the noisy sounds seemed to be isolated.
"Who are you?" Chen Xiaoyu asked again.
The woman in purple was wearing a curtain, so she couldn't see her face clearly.
"Have you thought about protecting him?" the woman in purple asked.
Chen Xiaoyu was silent and looked at her warily.
"What does it have to do with you? What are your intentions?"
The woman in purple only stretched out her hand, and in her palm lay a crystal stone glowing with silver light.
"It seems that you have thought about it, then take it with you. It can save your life, so I want you to protect him at all costs. With this here, you will not die."
Chen Xiaoyu lowered her head, looked at the crystal in her palm, and bit her lip.
She raised her hand, grabbed the crystal, and put it in her purse.
"You..." She wanted to ask something more, but when she looked up, she found that the woman in purple was gone.
The noise around me reached my ears again.
"The Jade Girl is here! Please give her blessing!" Someone looked at her with a kind smile.
Chen Xiaoyu nodded absently, turned around and saw Ye Wu walking towards her.
"Why are you running here? I turned around and was shocked to see you were gone." Ye Wu walked over with a smile.
Chen Xiaoyu looked up at him. Ye Wu's outfit today seemed to reflect his outstanding bearing, as if he was born to wear gorgeous clothes and stand in the spotlight.
It's just that the white smear on the forehead doesn't match.
She herself didn't know what she was thinking, but when she saw the woman in purple, she felt a little uneasy.
Is this the same person who was talking to her that day? Who... is she? Why is she asked to protect Ye Wu? Who is she to Ye Wu?
"What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Ye Wu noticed something was wrong with her expression and asked with concern.
"It's okay, I'm just a little nervous." Chen Xiaoyu smiled.
She quickly changed the topic, and Ye Wu didn't think much about it.
The exchange market is very lively, and everyone is exchanging what they need. In such a festival, few people will make any conflicts. If the exchange cannot be made, then go to the next one.
"Ye Wu." Chen Xiaoyu suddenly called him.
Ye Wu immediately looked at her.
With a smile on her face, Chen Xiaoyu said: "After the sacrifice...can you come to my house to propose marriage?"
She was a little shy, but there was an urgent uneasiness spreading in her heart.
She wanted to catch Ye Wu.
Maybe it was the influence of the woman in purple, or maybe it was something else, but she was uneasy now and always felt...
She always felt that Ye Wu would leave her.
Ye Wu's face turned red and he coughed lightly.
He looked into Chen Xiaoyu's bright and expectant eyes, and saw her standing in front of him in red, as if she was really going to become his bride.
There was a slight movement in his heart. This wonderful feeling was something he had never experienced before. He had no feeling at all when he and Shuang Qin became Taoist companions.
But Chen Xiaoyu made him feel like holding her in his arms.
Ye Wu nodded.
"OK."
The smile on Chen Xiaoyu's face suddenly widened.
The two of them stared at each other, and all the sounds around them seemed to have disappeared.
"The sacrifice is about to begin!" A voice broke the atmosphere between the two of them.
Chen Xiaoyu was shocked, and then quickly pulled Ye Wu.
"I didn't even notice that it's time. Come on, we have to get ready."
The girl's hands were a little cold, but soft.
Ye Wu held her back and followed her footsteps.
Everyone in the valley had spontaneously formed a circle.
The statue of the Empress in the Empress Temple is carved directly into the mountain wall, with a golden boy and beautiful girl standing next to it. It has faded a bit due to the passage of time.
In front of the stone statue is an altar with many years of history. The village chief is already standing on the high platform wearing a mysterious suit.
Ye Wu and Chen Xiaoyu looked at each other, and walked over nervously and expectantly, standing aside, waiting for them to appear.
Ye Wu is still recalling the contents of the original rehearsal, trying not to make any mistakes.
"The emperor ascends to heaven, shines down on the earth, collects the spirits of the earth, sends sweet winds and rains, and everyone finds his own place. Common people live in groups, each find their own place, and they are still present and ancient..."
The long and simple sacrificial text spread word by word from the village chief's mouth, and every word seemed to be mixed with the best wishes and blessings.
There was silence in the valley. People looked at the statue of the Empress devoutly, with their hands on their chests.
The empress has a compassionate face, overlooking the people of Yushan below, and it has always been like this for thousands of years.
