Chapter 21: Outing

Yu Kun and Li Pingting finally woke up at three o'clock in the morning. Xiao Cui quickly went into the house to help the young lady and her uncle wash and change clothes. The county magistrate Wu Bing gave Yu Kun a seven-day holiday. After Yu Kun arrived in the early Ming Dynasty, he finally did not have to work.
, take a good rest.
Xiao Cui was really happy for her uncle and the young lady when they saw how affectionate they were with each other. After the three of them had breakfast together, Yu Kun decided to take Li Pingting and Xiao Cui around the county town. Xiao Cui and Li Pingting were very happy.
I am happy that although Xiaocui often goes to the nearby market to buy food, she has not really wandered around in a lively place in more than a year. The same goes for Li Pingting. Although she usually has a lot of leisure time, she understands that she and
If Xiaocui went to a crowded place, she would always cause trouble, so she chose to stay at home quietly.
However, the nature of girls cannot be suppressed. Both Li Pingting and Xiao Cui are eager to see the wonderful world outside. Yu Kun decided to use the seven days of rest to lead the master and servant to visit the entire county and state capital.
, allowing the two of them to really let go of their girlish feelings.
All women love beauty. When they heard that they were going on a trip, Li Pingting and Xiao Cui immediately started to dress up. They must dress well when going out, but they should not wear loose clothes when walking, and the shoes they wear must be soft and well-fitting.
, otherwise there will be foot blisters under the feet. The two of them applied makeup and powder for half an hour, and finally finished cleaning up.
Yu Kun had nothing to do anyway, so he wasn't in a hurry. Looking at the two elegantly dressed masters and servants, Yu Kun was extremely happy. The sunshine today was good, and it was a bit hot on his face. Yu Kun saw the street
There was an umbrella shop, and he chose two brightly colored oil-paper umbrellas. After paying the copper coins, he handed the umbrellas to Lin Pingting and Xiao Cui.
The two masters and servants felt warm in their hearts. This uncle really knows how to care for people. Xiaocui and the young lady whispered in low voices, while Yu Kun led them in front. The three of them meandered along the path by the river.
The willow trees are low and hanging on the shoulders, and the green silk ribbons will sometimes touch the hair buns of the three people when blown by the breeze. Yu Kun still has a childish heart, so he folded two wicker sticks and woven them into two round hats, which were worn on each of them.
The heads of Li Pingting and Xiao Cui.
Orioles are singing in the willow trees, and the clear water gurgling under the river. There are overgrown weeds on the exposed mounds of various sizes in the water, and there are old people fishing in twos and threes on the river embankment. Li Pingting and Xiaocui are like two newly escaped cages.
The baby bird was chattering non-stop.
After walking for about an hour, the three of them felt a little tired. Yu Kun found a clean shade of a tree, and the three of them sat on the ground and took a nap. "Xiao Cui, do you like to go out for an outing?" Yu Kun was in a good mood, so he was going to take a nap.
Xiaocui is having fun.
"Of course I like it! Not only do I like it, but the lady also likes it. There should be no one who doesn't like outings!" As Xiaocui spoke, her smile revealed two shallow dimples, which was really cute.
"I'll take you out to play every day for the past seven days. Are you tired of playing?"
"Really? Grandpa? Don't say seven days, I won't get tired of playing out every day! I used to dress up as a boy with my young lady and go out to play, it was so fun!"
"Okay, we've made a deal, don't complain about being tired! After five more minutes of rest, we'll enter the county town. I'll take you to dinner. After dinner, I'll take you to the theater to listen to the play!"
"Okay, okay, uncle, you are so kind!" Xiaocui jumped up with joy. Although Yu Kun kept talking to Xiaocui, Li Pingting knew that Yu Kun actually told her. Her husband kept asking her last night
She didn't answer how she wanted to spend the honeymoon. Li Pingting thought to herself that she was willing to accompany her husband wherever he went.
Yu Kun took Li Pingting and his servant into a small restaurant, asked for a private room, ordered four side dishes and ordered a bottle of wine. After the three of them washed their hands, they began to drink slowly. Xiaocui was hungry and
Hungry, a pig's trotter was quickly destroyed. Yu Kun tore the meat on a pig's trotter into small pieces with his hands and put it on the plate in front of Li Pingting. "Eat some pig's trotters. It is said that this thing is beautiful.
It’s good for your women’s skin!”
Li Pingting nodded, picked up a piece with chopsticks and put it into her mouth. The sauced pig's trotters were cooked so well that the meat was crispy and melted in the mouth, only the tendons inside were chewy. The three of them took another sip of wine, and Yu Kun
Li Pingting put one braised lion head on her plate, Xiao Cui put two on his plate, and put the last one on her own plate.
"Uncle, you gave me so much, I can't eat it!" Xiao Cui was actually embarrassed.
"It's okay Xiao Cui, it's okay to eat more when you are growing! Your lady is afraid of getting fat, so she has to work hard for you!" Yu Kun continued to joke with Xiao Cui.
"Uncle, you are biased. You are afraid that the young lady will get fat. Aren't you afraid that I will get fat? If I really get fat, who..."
"Xiao Cui, what do you want to say?" Yu Kun clearly knew what Xiao Cui wanted to say and immediately made a joke.
"No, it's nothing! Uncle, Miss, I'd like to propose a toast to you!" Xiaocui was also a bit cunning and quickly changed the subject.
After eating and drinking, Yu Kun asked their master and servant to take a nap in the private room for a while. He also took this opportunity to take a rest. After walking for half a morning and eating, people tend to feel sleepy at noon. After taking a nap, Yu Kun
After settling the bill at the bar, the three of them went to the street again. At noon, the street was crowded with customers, including restaurants, rice noodle shops, cloth shops and daily necessities shops.
Yu Kun suddenly found a mask shop with all kinds of masks. Yu Kun asked Li Pingting and Xiao Cui to choose one, and he also chose a mask to wear on his face. The reason why Yu Kun wanted to buy a mask was because
It's fun, and a grown man with two beautiful women will attract a lot of attention from time to time. In order to reduce unnecessary trouble, Yu Kun decided to wear a mask.
Not far from the mask shop, there is the famous Yanzhai Teahouse in the county. Yu Kun and Li Pingting sat down at a slightly off table, and the waiter immediately came to entertain them. Yu Kun ordered a cup for everyone
Tea, melon seeds and refreshments were also ordered. "The Romance of the West Chamber" was being sung on the stage.
Li Pingting had listened to "The Romance of the West Chamber" once before with her mother, but the previous impression was not too deep. After Li Pingting had experienced her own changes, the second time she heard the Kunqu Opera version of "The Romance of the West Chamber", she was still deeply touched.
.The classic sentences in the play are unforgettable to her.
"The troubles in the world add to my mind, and I wonder how these big and small cars can carry them!" "The mood in spring is short and the willow silk is long, and the people separated by Huayin are far away and the world is close." "Waiting for the moon under the west chamber, the door facing the wind is half open; the wall is brushing
The shadows of the flowers are moving, and it is suspected that a beautiful lady has come." "The yellow leaves of the phoenix are flying below, and the grass is faded by the cold smoke." "The sky is blue, the yellow flowers are on the ground, the west wind is strong, and the geese flying from the north to the south." These are poignant sentences full of the pain of longing.
Chapter completed!
