Chapter 47
Chapter 47
On Sunday, June 6th, in the hot spring town, it was cloudy and sunny.
Today is the West's Whitsunday, and it is a grand festival in this small town. Together with tomorrow's Monday, it is a legal holiday in this country.
I also attended a Whitsunday bash for the first time.
It is said that in Carinthia, the southernmost state of the City of Music, there is also a very interesting traditional competition called "thorn barrel competition", which is the best time for unmarried single men to show their majestic physique. Whoever wins the championship can win Garland, and then present the wreath to the girl you love, usually you can get a good marriage.
However, the traditional festivals in hot spring towns are much milder than the "Cimutong Competition".
The horse that Ci Mutong was riding was not on the saddle. If the rider was not good at riding, or if the horse was frightened halfway, the rider would easily fall off the horse and have an accident.
The hot spring town became famous because of the celebrity effect of Emperor Franz Joseph. Of course, it inherited the emperor's hunting interests and made hunting a traditional program of the Whitsunday.
However, the current hot spring town has long since run out of small animals for hunting.
Many years ago, they released 200 rabbits as prey in the big garden of the emperor's summer palace, but the rabbits that escaped had extraordinary reproductive ability. After two or three years, these rabbits showed the results of revenge——
Almost all the flowers and plants in the emperor's summer palace were eaten up, and the residents of the small town also suffered. It is said that the surrounding villages were also destroyed to varying degrees. So far, hunting rabbits has become catching butterflies. Regardless of men, women, old or weak, local residents , Or tourists from other places, as long as they wear traditional clothes, they can go to the Emperor's Summer Palace, which is free for one day, to participate in the traditional competition program of catching butterflies.
The game has now evolved into a family-based competition.
Because of the generous rewards, in addition to a considerable amount of cash, the champion also has a fat and strong adult horse to take home, because it has attracted countless tourists to participate.
In the hot spring town at this time of year, tourists from all over the world are the most prosperous time of the year.
The number of butterflies has also increased year by year from the initial 500, and this year it has increased to 5000!
Of course, each butterfly is electronically coded, and it is impossible for anyone to cheat.
Yan Shouzhen is tall, about the same size as Western men, and even a little taller than Pete. It is not difficult to buy traditional clothes of the same size in clothing stores.
My yardage was a little trickier.
Tried every clothing store in town, but couldn't find traditional clothes that fit my height and frame.
In fact, it is not impossible to make do with it.
Anyway, I only wear it for one day, and the looser one is more convenient for catching butterflies.
But Yan Shouzhen was almost critical of me when he treated me.
Everything must be the best and the most suitable, and he is not satisfied with clothes that are wider or narrower.
He even placed an order with the owner of the only hand-tailor shop in town.
I paid 10 times the wages and negotiated to deliver the completed garments this morning.
Probably because the price offered by Yan Shouzhen was too tempting, the owner of the tailor shop hurriedly rushed, and sure enough, at 9 o'clock this morning, he delivered the clothes he had driven out on time.
Speaking of which, this is the first time for me to wear traditional Western European aristocratic clothes!
It is as complicated to wear as Hanfu, but the layering is stronger than Hanfu.
The undergarment was a modern shirt, anyway, it was worn next to the body, and it was covered tightly by the heavy robe, and the material was smoother than the underwear material sent over, so Yan Shouzhen threw away the clothes up.
The coat is very long, reaching to the knees, similar to the long robes of Hanfu, but tighter, and a fancy square cloak is worn over the coat, fastened to the chest with a large brooch.
It’s nothing, but the most uncomfortable thing for me is that I have to put on stockings and mid-length military boots on the already tight trousers. It looks good, but the shape of the crotch can be seen.
Yan Shouzhen also knew this, so he moved the cloak, as long as the wind doesn't blow it up, it can cover it.
Finally, I put on a small Central Asian hat and stood in front of the mirror. Even I felt a little dazzled.
Yan Shouzhen on the side of the mirror narrowed his eyes slightly.
Yu Yin, who was waiting by the side, held her long cake skirt and ran in very ladylike. She was going to ask me to go downstairs, but now she insisted on being the flower girl at my wedding.
Fortunately, the wedding dress is not so complicated, I am secretly glad.
However, Yan Shouzhen whispered in my ear: "If the knife is made by SOLOSALI's tailoring master, it must look better!"
"No!" I immediately extinguished his breeding thoughts.
When they went downstairs, everyone was already ready to go, and Yu Xian, who was young at heart, was even more heroic. He also wore a wooden carved sword at his waist, which was very eye-catching.
But now he and Pete are checking the insect net and the breeding cage, fearing that there is a gap in the net wire, which will hurt the butterfly.
When my uncle turned around and saw me, he stared blankly at me for a while, and then said melancholy, "It would be great if my sister was here."
I miss my mom too.
She was walking alone on the golden light-filled road, wondering if she was also thinking about my uncle and me, and if she would stop for a while to see that the person she loved had already grasped happiness.
Yan Shouzhen seemed to know what I was thinking. He walked forward slowly, and squeezed my palm lightly, sometimes lightly and sometimes hard, as if reminding me all the time that there is always a reliable person beside me. .
I raised my eyes and looked at him, obviously the clothes were almost the same as mine, and his appearance was also the outline of an oriental man, but he could dress so elegantly and freely, like a royal noble who came out of an oil painting.
He felt my gaze, subconsciously bowed his head and stared at me.
My cheeks became inexplicably hot, and I heard the sound of my heart beating. This person, no matter when I look at him, I will feel the feeling of first love.
Pete on the side seemed to be abused. He scratched his head and said helplessly, "Are you forcing me to propose to Pamela?"
Pamela is the niece of the principal of the middle school, his girlfriend.
His words made everyone laugh, and Yu Yin clamored to be his flower girl too.
The aunt was even happier, she liked Pamela very much, and often urged Pete to make a quick decision on lifelong affairs, for fear that such a good girl would be snatched away by other men.
Talking and laughing, we also arrived at the emperor's summer palace, where we can see familiar faces everywhere, everyone is happy, and every corner is full of laughter. The tailor shop owner who just sent me the clothes is enjoying himself at the moment Sitting on the dining table under the shade of a tree, while eating the butter bread handed over by his wife, he was playing around with his little daughter in his arms.
Although uncle and aunt have countless fans in the local area, they are all competitors in front of the grand program competition. They use their strength to catch butterflies, and they will never give up the best luck of the year to anyone.
When the bell rang at 10:30, 5000 butterflies were released at the same time, and the wings and shadows of butterflies flying all over the sky instantly lingered in the crowd, decorating the entire Royal Summer Palace, like a fairyland, and all of a sudden the competition was over. Pushed to the most frenzied peak.
All of a sudden, all kinds of insect nets rose and fell, and laughter and shouts came and went. Occasionally, a butterfly with broken wings fell down, and was soon sent into its own breeding cage by the people next to it.
Today's wind is very strong and the sound is messy. My aunt's hearing ability can't be used to its advantage, but she was not willing to participate in the behavior of catching butterflies. She thought that although the larval stage of butterflies is a pest and will eat crops, the adult stage is already. Beneficial insects can be pollinated, and their lives should not be used as a festive gimmick.
But she will not stand up to object, after all, she is not a bodhisattva who loves all creatures in the world.
Rather than catching butterflies, Yu Xian seems to prefer to ride the tall horse as a prize. It is still the property of the public, as long as you tell the horseman, you can ride it for 10 minutes.
Because there were too many people queuing up to ride the horse, the horseman later forbade everyone to ride it for a walk, and only allowed to take a photo with it.
Yu Xian was a little disappointed, but he was still very happy to be able to take a photo with the strong and fat horse!
Seeing that I was in good spirits, Yan Shouzhen also took a photo of me and asked me if I liked riding a horse.
I shook my head, because I rode it once when I was a child, that year when our family of three visited Ansel, it was a horse led by my father, and it walked very slowly, wobbly, and very unsafe.
At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the competition ended, and the tall horse was taken away by the gingerbread family in the town. The seven members of their family caught more than 7 butterflies in total.
Then came the carnival-like fellowship.
It was at this time that I received a call from Xiao Weng.
At that time, I was looking through the circle of friends.
Earlier, I posted the photo taken by Yan Shouzhen, with the text "This is taken for me by my uncle, he said it looks good".
Ever since I found out that I am the person who has been cherished by Yan Shouzhen in my heart for 7 or 8 years, of course I also know the root of Yan Shouzhen's deep love.
I never expected that my unintentional act of kindness back then would lead to such a marriage.
It was probably at that time that I really regarded him as an "uncle", and Yan Shouzhen kept it in my heart for a long time, until after a bed affair, I called "uncle" in his ear, his explosive power It's so appalling that he loves it so much now, but I "hate" it so much.
It's okay to use it as a joke, just treat it as a small counterattack of yourself, who made him go too far last night!
In the circle of friends, that photo has been liked countless times and left countless comments.
The first one is of course left by the grandfather who keeps pace with the times: My Ah Sheng is really handsome, and he can make his C debut!
The second one is Lian Renjie, he just wrote four words: happy wedding!
The third one is Xiao Weng. After she sent a few lines of "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh", the meaningful text appeared: The boss is crying!
The fourth is the third child. She has always had a vicious look, and she hits the nail on the head: who is the uncle? ? ?
The fifth is Qin Jinhuai: What kind of place is this? !Tell me, I promise not to disturb your honeymoon!
Because the background is butterflies flying all over the sky, it is indeed very beautiful and romantic, and many people below asked where it was shot.
Xiao Weng was trembling as he spoke on the phone, as if he had encountered something that frightened her.
My heart also raised.
Wancheng is now about 9 o'clock in the evening. She is still working in the musical instrument workshop. Could it be that something happened in the musical instrument workshop?
"Xiao Weng, what's wrong?" I asked anxiously.
Since Yiqiu arrived in the Lion City, I also invited Xiao Weng to play in the Lion City for a few days, but she refused. Firstly, she doesn’t like keeping promises, and secondly, her boyfriend is still working in Wancheng, so she couldn’t do without her. Of course, it is impossible for her to leave him and go to the Lion City to have fun.
Later, I gave her a vacation with pay, but she refused, saying that her boyfriend was at work, and she was bored at home alone. It would be nice to go back to the Musical Instrument Workshop to watch the store. There are computers in the store to watch videos, and it is easier to pass the time. .
I don't force it, Miaomiao and Miaomiao in the musical instrument workshop need someone to take care of them, and the flowers and plants on the balcony also need someone to take care of them. Besides, the business of the musical instrument workshop is sluggish, but sporadic customers still come to the door every day.
"Boss..." Xiao Weng choked for a while, and then said, "Wang Qiancheng is here again!!"
I:! ! !
Wang Qiancheng was the math teacher who harassed the musical instrument workshop three times.
I almost forgot about this guy!
I didn't remember his name at first, but he did too much to me and even made a fuss at the police station. I was so impressed, it's impossible for him to forget.
"Don't cry, don't be afraid..." I actually hated Wang Qiancheng and was afraid of him, although I was also confused, but I tried my best to restrain my trembling and comforted Xiao Weng, "It's okay, don't panic! You call the police first, oh, yes, call Jiaming and ask him to pick you up right away!"
Jia Ming is Xiao Weng's boyfriend.
It’s not too far from the 4S store to the Musical Instrument Workshop, it takes more than half an hour to walk, and if you drive faster, you can get there in less than 10 minutes.
"What's wrong?" Yan Shouzhen noticed my flustered and anxious tone, and asked me quickly.
"It's okay..." I replied Yan Shouzhen, and also comforted Xiao Weng.
Ever since Yan Shouzhen confessed that he would use all means for me, I never dared to let him know who had offended me.
"Jiaming is on his way here and should be here soon... I didn't call the police because Wang Qiancheng was outside the store and didn't come in to make trouble. He just sat in the car, smoking cigarettes one after another. I was afraid , I..." Xiao Weng choked up a few more times before stammering, "Boss, I'm sorry, I... I posted the photo you posted on Moments today on my Weibo, just to share Your happiness, but, but I didn't expect that Wang Qiancheng actually paid attention to me and saw your photo, no, no, he downloaded that photo, just now I saw him smoking Yan, while staring at that photo of you on the phone..."
I:! ! !
"What's the matter?!" Yan Shouzhen next to me was very anxious, he put his arm around my shoulder, and asked me looking straight into my eyes.
I was at a loss, thinking that Yan Shouzhen should know about this matter, but I was really afraid that he would attack Wang Qiancheng cruelly!
After all, the lessons learned by Max are right in front of us.
Wang Qiancheng just downloaded my photos and did nothing.
Shouldn't be able to do anything...
After all, I'm not in Wancheng, and he doesn't know where I am.
Besides, Yiqiu had warned him that he should be afraid of Uncle Song's influence in Wancheng!
