Mingyue of the Great Song Dynasty http://www./0_1/ The latest work of Xiangnan Xiaoxiaosheng!
Achuan suddenly asked Hanyan if he still remembered Yunfan that day, and then, he did not mention Hanyan again for several days. Hanyan's mood was so anxious and unable to sleep or eat.
On this day, he had a joke with A Ling. Han Yan's mood finally calmed down. However, Achuan told her to prepare well and follow her to Wuzhen later. In the past, Hanyan was only responsible for celebrating the girls' embroidery pieces in batches. As for every thing that followed, Yuxuan accompanied Achuan to Wuzhen to complete.
Han Yan tried Achuan's reasons several times, and Achuan seemed to guess what she was thinking, and he wanted to say something but stopped every time. Han Yan asked Achuan that Aling had accompanied him, but Achuan refused again. Achuan put the embroidery on the carriage, and Han Yan's heart was raised to his throat again. So, taking advantage of Achuan's opportunity to return to the inner courtyard to register the embroidery, Han Yan sent Aling to Nanshan to shout Yuxuan back.
Han Yan looked at Achuan as everything was ready, but Yuxuan and Aling were not seen returning, and he couldn't help but feel anxious on his face.
Seeing Han Yan hesitating and looking around, Achuan urged him repeatedly. Han Yan had no choice but to look in the direction of Nanshan again, and then he got on the carriage in a bad mood.
Wuzhen happened to be the monthly Wuzhen temple fair. Come and go, the flow of good men and women rushed to the North Street together. Han Yan got off the carriage and followed the crowd forward. Achuan wiped the sweat from his face, looked up at the sun, turned around and said to Han Yan:
"Hanyan, I'll go to the South Street Commercial Bank first. Later, you can rush to the place we agreed on."
Han Yan pulled away the man and woman blocking her hands and asked Achuan: "Brother Lu, can I go to that place first?"
Han Yan said as he pointed to a temple in the southeast of North Street.
Achuan nodded, and Han Yan immediately turned around and walked towards the temple.
In the temple, the statue of Guanyin's Bodhisattva was full of girls with their hands folded together. They saw their eyes slightly closed and they silently prayed for their wishes. Han Yan looked around and saw the girl in front of him stand up, and hurriedly clasped her hands folded together on the cushion.
Han Yan said to Guanyin in his heart:
Empress, I have three wishes: the first one: I wish my mother good health soon.
The second wish: I hope Brother Yuxuan and A Ling get married sooner.
The third wish;—
Han Yan hesitated, not knowing how to make the Bodhisattva understand her third wish.
At this time, a girl with beautiful hair shawls, eyesight and teeth white, wearing beige skirts and white dresses on the upper body knelt down next to Han Yan and said:
"Bodhisattva, my first wish is—"
"Wow——", Han Yan turned his face and looked at the girl.
The girl smiled and nodded, and began to recite silently in her heart as Han Yan. Later, the girl stood up from the cushion and looked at Han Yan and asked:
"Are you okay?"
Han Yan nodded and stood up.
After Han Yan came out of the temple, he was about to leave. The girl called her again and said:
"Hey, let's sit under the shade of the trees in front for a while."
Han Yan thought for a moment, and saw that it was still early, he walked with the girl to the shade of the tree.
The girl sat down on the stone bench and looked at Han Yan and asked:
"Hey, seeing that you have been kneeling for so long, can you tell me what wish you made?"
Han Yan smiled and said, "The wish you made cannot be expressed, and it won't work if you say it."
The girl said again: "If you don't say it out, how could the Bodhisattva hear your wish? How could he help you fulfill your wish?"
"Then can you tell me what wish you made?" Han Yan said.
The girl said: "My first wish is to pray to the Bodhisattva to bless my grandmother's health to get better soon. The second wish is to be able to achieve a good marriage with my prince charming this year."
"Prince Charming?" Han Yan looked at the girl and asked in surprise: "So, is your boyfriend a foreigner?"
"Hahaha--" The girl laughed when she heard this. She patted Han Yan on the shoulder and said with a smile:
"As soon as I heard, I knew you had never studied, what a foreigner, Prince Charming is the general term for the people they love in their hearts."
"Oh," Han Yan said embarrassedly, "I don't know. But after hearing what you said, I understand. The girls in our village have never studied. They have only seen foreigners riding white horses, so--"
The girl stopped her laughter and asked, "What is your wish?"
Han Yan hesitated for a moment and said, "After I was born, my mother's health was getting better and worse. I hope my mother's health would be better. Also, I hope Brother Yuxuan and A Ling can be together."
The girl's face suddenly became a little gloomy, and then she sighed softly.
"I don't have an older brother anymore. When I was a child, I was a servant in the family. I originally had an older brother, but unfortunately my older brother inherited family disease and was—— in childhood—"
When Han Yan heard this, his heart felt pity. It seemed that the girl in front of him was a miserable person like her. She couldn't help but hold the girl's hand and comforted her:
"Don't think about this anymore. Come on, let's talk about happiness. Think of your prince charming and your heart will be happy."
The girl nodded, "Hey, what's your name? Let's make friends. You have brothers and A Ling, and I really want to have A Ling."
"I not only have A Ling, but also A Fang, A Ying, A Lian-
Han Yan said a series of names, and the girl was so envious.
"You call me Ashan, would you please take me to meet Aling and the others?"
Han Yan nodded to the girl, "My name is--"
At this time, Yuxuan suddenly rushed out from behind Han Yan, grabbed Han Yan's hand, and said to Ashan in front of him: "My name is Yuxuan, her name is--."
Han Yan whispered Yuxuan and complained that he had just come now. Yuxuan pressed Han Yan's shoulder with his hands, and was about to say Han Yan's name. A woman in her forties walked towards them with a serious face accompanied by two maids. The woman was wearing a hair style that was emerging in the Republic of China, wearing a plain orchid-colored floral satin cheongsam, with a jade bracelet on her wrist, and a white and clean face. Although the tail patterns of different shades of the eyes and mouth were engraved with tail patterns, she could still see her charm at a glance.
Seeing the woman walking straight to her face, the girl hurriedly stood up and looked at the woman and said:
"Mom, they are my friends, called—"
As the girl said, she turned to Hanyan and asked whisperedly: "What are your name? Tell me quickly,"
Han Yan looked at the woman who was so close to her. She seemed to have a familiar feeling in her mind, but this feeling flashed in her mind and disappeared in an instant. The woman looked Han Yan up and down, and saw Han Yan wearing blue printed clothes symbolizing the farm girl on her upper body, with a look of contempt on her face.
The woman stepped forward and held her daughter's hand and said, "Ashan, how can you be with someone like them who have no identity? Let's go back with your mother, your Uncle Lu and your Uncle Chu will arrive soon. You are not allowed to make such friends in the future."
When Yu Xuan heard this, he showed dissatisfaction on his face and said to the woman: "Is your identity very noble? Why can't I see it?"
When the woman saw Yuxuan's hand on Han Yan's shoulder, she said in a cold voice: "What kind of etiquette is the man and woman holding her arms around her back?"
After the woman finished speaking, she held her daughter Ashan's hand and turned around and walked away.
Han Yan curled his lips to the woman's back, and suddenly saw the two maids following her, one of whom turned around and looked at her from time to time.
Han Yan suddenly remembered the agreement with Achuan and threw Yuxuan toward the agreed place.
