Tian Xing'er was a little embarrassed when she saw Su Qingluan acting like this: "We just want to invite you to play tricks together. If you don't want to, forget it!"
After saying that, he grabbed the few friends and left.
"Wait!" Su Qingluan sighed, "Come back! I didn't say not to go."
Su Qingluan thought for a while and decided to go and see "Douqiao". It was one thing to treat it as a custom, but she had more important considerations.
"You agreed?!" Tian Xing'er turned around in surprise, and then felt that this might be too proactive, and immediately made some awkward remarks, "You said you wanted to come, I didn't force you."
Oh, I'm still a little tsundere after spending a long time.
Finally, considering that there is no curfew tonight and everyone will come back very late from playing, Tian Xing'er and the others agreed with Su Qingluan to meet outside the Su family yard at Xu o'clock in the evening - which is around eight o'clock in the evening converted to modern time. If the weather is fine, everyone will play tricks together.
After sending away the little girls, Su Qingluan turned around and returned to the house. When she saw her brother and sister, she immediately looked over.
"Sister, are they bullying you?" The little girl frowned her delicate eyebrows with a worried look on her face.
Although Su Xuanhe didn't say anything, he still had a serious face.
Su Qingluan shook her head and said it was okay, and began to check the calligraphy homework of her younger siblings.
At this time, Ms. Yang walked in and greeted the three children: "It's noon, we should go!" Then she turned around and asked Su Qingluan, "Why don't your friends go to the town to visit the night market together?"
Su Qingluan shook his head and then added: "But we made an appointment to play tricks together at night."
After hearing this, Yang showed a very pleased smile: "Sometimes I always feel that you are too sensible, and I don't see you playing with your peers. You always think about making money to support the family. Going out with friends like this, Grandma is very happy."
Su Qingluan was stunned when he heard this, and felt something very warm slowly flowing through his heart.
After a moment, she said softly: "I'm worried about you."
The three children took off their dusty coats, revealing brand new clothes underneath. Su Guangfu and his wife also put on their newly bought shoes. The family of five got ready and walked towards the town.
The weather was a bit muggy, but fortunately the sun was covered by clouds.
Although you can't see the blue sky in this weather, it would be nice if you can avoid being exposed to the sun in this hot summer.
Su Qingluan originally wanted to take advantage of the large flow of people during the Chinese Valentine's Day today to think of some fresh snacks and sell them at a stall to make some money.
But now she has the income from Hung Fook House, so she will not be left without a penny; secondly, many food stalls today must be trying their best to attract customers, so she will take a look at what food is available in this era and see if she has any. It is possible to "find a unique way" to avoid the run on homogeneous products.
Due to the above considerations, Su Qingluan finally gave up the idea of doing business on this day.
The moment she entered the county town with her family, she felt that maybe she was right not to choose to do business today.
When Su Qingluan and the others arrived in the town today, it was already past noon. Usually at this time, many breakfast stalls have been packed up one after another and started to go home.
And now, not to mention people returning home, it is even busier than when business is at its best on ordinary streets!
Unlike ordinary people who are always in a hurry, people today obviously wear much brighter clothes, and there are more young men and women on the streets.
Since Su Qingluan traveled through time, she has gained some understanding of the Sheng Dynasty that did not exist in the history she was familiar with. Generally speaking, although it is also a feudal imperial country, it is not an era with too perverted rules and dogma like the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Folks have fewer rules than nobles.
Therefore, Su Qingluan could see the crowds of young men and women on the street. Although it was not like in modern society, where men and women would like to hug each other on the street, if the young men and women liked each other, they would not hesitate to "make eye contact." "of.
Of course, it’s more about “items communicating”.
At least along the way, Su Qingluan has seen three or five times young girls hand over handicrafts such as carefully embroidered purses, handkerchiefs, or fan sets to the young man they like. If the man does not refuse, the two of them can walk along the street. While walking slowly, we chatted.
And if a man likes a woman, he will also give her pendants and other accessories or other things that he carries with him.
Is this the ancient version of "Blind Date"? Su Qingluan silently complained: The elder of these young men and women who gave each other tokens was only in their early twenties, and the younger one looked only fourteen or fifteen years old, still half a child...
Just when Su Qingluan was thinking wildly, a slight forceful touch on her hand brought her thoughts back to the real world.
"Sister, sister!" Su Xueyan pointed, "There is someone selling paper-cutting over there, it looks good!"
"Tch, paper-cutting is nothing. I think sugar painting is more fun." Su Xuanhe pointed unconvincingly at another stall where the master was scooping up a spoonful of syrup from the pot and starting to paint.
Su Qingluan looked in the direction of her younger brother's fingers, and sure enough, the candy man's master scooped out the syrup, tilted his wrist slightly, and the syrup turned into crystal clear amber silk threads, outlining exquisite patterns.
The most popular candy man today is the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl. Of course, there are many other characters, some real and some legendary that no one has ever seen.
"Want a candy man?" Su Qingluan lowered her head and asked her younger siblings.
The younger sister Su Xueyan asked for a Weaver Girl, but the younger brother did not ask for a Weaver Girl or a Cowherd "in response to the occasion", but asked for a nine-tooth nail rake named Zhu Bajie.
Yang and Su Guangfu stayed behind, separating their children from the surrounding crowd. Only when they were paying, did the two of them come forward. Otherwise, they would let Su Qingluan drag her younger siblings around in front. play.
Su Qingluan and his group set up stalls in the town every day, and the stalls were in the same place every day, so although they were just taking a casual walk today, they unknowingly came to the place where the stalls were set up every day.
Aunt Yang was measuring the size of a piece of cloth for a visiting customer, while on the other side, Skinny Monkey had sold all the eggs he had on hand today and was preparing to pack up and go home.
Aunt Yang sold the fabric and was bending over to put the copper plates she received in the wooden box beside her when she felt a row of shadows coming over her.
She subconsciously asked: "What kind of fabric does the guest want? How much does it cost?"
The man didn't answer.
Aunt Yang had no choice but to ask again, but there was still no answer.
She was a little impatient and asked angrily: "Are you going to buy it or not?! It's a big holiday, if you have nothing to do, don't be my business here!"
As she spoke, she raised her head suddenly and laughed the next moment.
