After Dressing as a Male Cross-dresser

Chapter 19:

Jin Xiangjun and Piaoxu finally drove away with ugly faces, but did not notice. There was a carriage behind her and also drove away.

As for who Li Qingyan has an appointment with?

Answer: No one.

Li Qingyan kept an eye on it, fearing that Jin Xiangjun was bold enough to go directly to the mansion to make an appointment with her. So when he went out, he said to the concierge that he had an appointment with him.

As for the purpose of Li Qingyan’s Qixi Festival trip, it was because of one thing—

Sun book.

For literati and inkmen, Tanabata is the “Kui Xing Festival”. In order to show respect and admiration for the “Kui Xing” who is in charge of exam luck, most book collectors will choose to publish books on this day. At the beginning, it is only a literal sun. Over time, it became a ritual to show off the collection of books.

In Shengjing, on July 7 every year, Shengjing’s largest library, “Langyuelou”, will publish its own collections and some of the collections of various collections, and let all scholars come up with them in the way of “guessing the riddles and making the right.” Ability to snatch.

Every year there are many rare books in the collection, and if you are lucky, you can come across some orphans.

Therefore, on the Qixi Festival, the gate of Langyue Tower is unprecedentedly mighty.

This has also become a gathering place for Shengjing students on Qixi Festival, which is also the purpose of Li Qingyan’s trip.

Take a look at the level of this group of candidates who are about to take the “Guozijian Examination”.

However, before reaching the Langyue Tower, Li Qingyan was fascinated by the “Qiqiao City”.

Qiqiao City opened on July 1st and lasted until the end of Qixi Festival, mainly selling items used for Qiqiao Festival.

Including beggar’s “mo drink music”, a sculptural statue of a small Buddha, “flower melons” carved into various patterns, and human-shaped pasta desserts, which are called “fruit-eating patterns” here.

Li Qingyan couldn’t hold back, she bought it and tasted it.

The glutinous sweets are not comparable to modern desserts, but they have a simple taste.

Therefore, Li Qingyan, who was fascinated by the novelty along the way, was much slower.

When he was halfway there, Li Qingyan looked at a stall not far away. There were many people crowded around, including men, women and children. Li Qingyan, who was completely ignited by interest, quickly moved her little head over, as if curious. The look of a baby.

Li Qingyan’s face is a “giving way”, so she didn’t feel crowded as soon as she leaned over. The passers-by who were surprised by her appearance on both sides gave way to both sides.

If it were not for the identity and the air of the original body, Li Qingyan would really like to thank these kind people who made way, and by the way, she sighed that there are so many good people in this era.

However, when she got to the front, she discovered that this stall was also used for the Qiao Qiao Festival.

It’s just that, unlike other stalls, the owner of this shop is very creative.

It’s like the ‘seven-hole needle” used to pierce needles and beg for cleverness. Normally, other stalls use a small cloth bag as the base, with seven needles pierced side by side. To make the bottom, a small boat was used to wrap the cloth with ‘seven-hole needles”. The bow and the stern were each decorated with a small red candle.

Li Qingyan picked up one of the ‘seven-hole needles” that looked like a small boat and asked the stall owner curiously.

“Uncle stall owner, why do seven-hole needles like this?”

The stall owner is a strong man in his thirties. From his appearance, he can’t tell that the stall owner has such ingenuity. But when it comes to what he does, his eyes are bright and plausible.

“This son has a good question. The Qiao Qiao Festival has always had the meaning of piercing needles and praying for Qiao Qiao since ancient times. I wondered whether this meaning can be released like a Mid-Autumn Lantern. The chance of realization is greater. Therefore, I put this The two merged to form this seven-hole needle boat.”

The ancients have always been superstitious, whether it is the piercing of needles for the Qiao Qiao Festival or the display of lanterns during the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is an expression of good wishes and hope for the coming year.

Like this stall owner, putting together the beautiful meanings of the two festivals naturally attracted the attention of pedestrians.

Li Qingyan sighed that the stall owner was ingenious at the same time, and the stall owner went on to introduce him to Li Qingyan enthusiastically.

“Look, my son, the seven-hole needle boat is not just a simple way of carrying objects and releasing them.”

The big swarthy hand of the stall owner’s uncle would just point to the hull of the ‘seven-hole needle boat” in Li Qingyan’s hand.

“Look here, like the one you have on hand, it is a boat between dragons and phoenixes. If there is a wife in the family who makes a good wish, you can keep the husband and wife together and love each other.”

The crowd and Li Qingyan listened to the uncle’s words and looked at the hull of the boat. As expected, there was a dragon body and phoenix feathers entwined with each other, which was lifelike and looked like glue.

For a while, many women around were staring at the “Dragon and Phoenix Chengxiang Ship” in Li Qingyan’s hand, with some gaze.

But Li Qingyan herself lacked interest, and as soon as she heard the meaning, she let it go.

When the stall owner saw this, he saw that Li Qingyan was not young, she should be unmarried, and looked at her dressed up and luxuriously, holding a book in his hand, thinking about the recent events in Shengjing, his eyes rolled. , Raised a big smile again, picked up another ‘seven-hole needle boat” and handed it to Li Qingyan.

“Look at the little negligence, this young man should be more suitable for this prosperous ship.”

Li Qingyan glanced at it, and indeed there was a figure carved with a head, two horns, red hair and ring eyes, and a hideous face on the boat. I saw the wooden statue, holding a Chinese ink pen in his right hand, and an ink fountain in his left hand, and his right foot was slightly bent into a golden rooster independent. In the posture, stepping on a big fish, which means “out of the top”, with his left foot raised and kicked backwards, echoing the big bend in the lower right corner of the word “Kui” in the shape of “Kui Xing”.

Yes, the statue carved on the “Prosperity Ship for Examination” is the “Kuixing” that can bless the candidates to pass smoothly.

The stall owner wondered, this time he should be able to make this noble son’s business.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished the introduction, Li Qingyan was still lacking in interest and let go.

The uncle stall owner was surprised, did he guess wrong, didn’t the little son want to pray for “prosperity in the exam”?

In fact, love and career are indeed not what Li Qingyan is praying for at this moment. What she wants most is…

Li Qingyan’s mind turned slightly and said something to the stall owner.

The stall owner was a little embarrassed on his face.

“There are very few young people who have this need. I have to see if I have done it. This young man, please wait a moment.”

After speaking, the stall owner leaned behind him, rummaging in a big sack he was carrying behind him.

After a while, I suddenly heard the uncle the stall owner make a pleasant surprise.

“found it!”

“Fortunately, I made one just in case.”

As soon as the voice fell, the stall owner handed the ‘seven-hole needle boat” that was hard to find in his hand to Li Qingyan.

Li Qingyan glanced at the hull, she was really looking for it, and she gazed with joy, and was about to take it.

Unexpectedly, she was just about to raise her hand, and the other hand with distinct articulations caught the ‘seven-hole needle boat” one step ahead of her.
