fairy tale in fairy tale

Brother Hyacinthus went to see little Baisha before going to see the little lord.

Little Baisha worked hard all night yesterday, and finally wiped the floor of the living room clean. She was probably frightened and exhausted. As soon as the work was done, she curled up on the ground and fell asleep. Brother Yacinthos When she was found, she was lying on the floor of the bright living room, sound asleep, and there was a rag floating in the sewage in the wooden basin next to her. Obviously she was too sleepy, and she fell asleep on the spot before wringing out the rag.

Carefully hugging the sleeping little Baisha, Brother Jacintos took her to a small house in the corner of the garden. The small house was surrounded by vines and surrounded by many flowers. It was very remote and quiet, so if you don’t look carefully , No one will notice that this place is actually inhabited.

The small house is cramped and cramped, but it is warmly and elegantly furnished, not as rough as it looks on the outside.

Every child's room in the metropolis is designed to ward off the ghosts of the deep sea, and the layout is almost all red as the mainstream style. This small house is no exception. The layout is not the gaudy red, but the pink style that little girls prefer. , pink walls, pink quilts, pink mosquito nets, the sun shines through the pink curtains, and the golden and yellow light turns into a faint purple.

"Brother Hyacinthus!" Little Baisha, who woke up early, was picking flowers in the garden. When she saw Brother Hyacinthus appearing, she had a bright smile on her face. She raised the flowers in her hand. This is her Pick the most beautiful and brightest flowers from the garden, and plan to weave them into beautiful garlands for Brother Hyacinthus. I heard that as long as there are girls in the flower market who are willing to wear the garlands given by the men, it means that they have accepted the other party’s marriage proposal. , I want to spend my whole life with him, so every year there are countless girls who deliberately come to Brother Hyacinthus, but so far no girl can wear the wreath he sent.

Brother Hyacinthus exchanged the wreath with little Baisha with the sumptuous breakfast he brought, and repeatedly told her to stay in the castle and not to go outside again. Finally, he promised to bring her back a piece of beef pie, and then went to the castle. Go to the little lord's room.

The little lord had been waiting for a long time. He could have gone out earlier, but thinking about the agreement with Brother Hyacinthus, he waited until the sun climbed up the treetops before Brother Hyacinthus came.

"Friar, I can't go to the flower market anymore," the little lord frowned thinly, looking like a mature young man, "Today my father is coming to the big city, and I'm going to pick him up at the city gate!"

Brother Hyacinthus just remembered this. The little lord's father is the Marquis of Orlando, and his status in the capital Rehab is not very noble, and of course he doesn't have much name and title, but he came to this city far away from the emperor's feet. On the shore of the town, the Marquis can be regarded as a relative of the emperor, so it is understandable for him to go to receive him.

"Then let's go to the gate of the city to receive your father first, and then invite him to go to the flower market together, do you think it will work?" Brother Yacintos asked happily, but there was a trace of worry in his brows. Almost all of these royal relatives It's a common problem, all bureaucrats are very big, like to put on airs, deliberately delay and postpone the time to enter the city, sometimes delaying for three to five days, this is nothing more than normal.

The little Lord opened his eyes wide, and Gujing Wubo's face was rippling in an instant, layer by layer blooming the innocence of a boy, and he said happily: "Really? Pick up Dad and then go to the flower market?" He left at a very young age. He left Regang and left the Marquis, but in his memory, that father, who had always been unsmiling, was more terrifying than the uncle of the city owner. At least the uncle of the city owner was serious and serious, but he often greeted him with care, but his father, a sentence There are no gentle words. In the eyes of outsiders, the Marquis is a straight-faced and honest gentleman, but in the eyes of the little lord, the Marquis is like a beast hiding in the dark, often grinning at him. He beat and scolded harshly, if he couldn't help crying, the punishment would be even more severe...

These childhood images left in his memory are profound and vivid. The little lord was afraid of the Marquis. When he heard that the Marquis was coming to the metropolis, he had countless nightmares all night. He slept very restlessly and woke up early. Come on, my spirits were sluggish, and it was not until I heard what Brother Hyacinthus said that my face burst into the joyful look that should belong to this age.

"Call your mother!" The little lord was still very dependent on his mother, although the marquise had no intention of getting close to her son at all.

"Okay... okay..." Brother Hyacinthus had a bitter face, thinking of the Marquise's enthusiasm for him gave him a headache.

However, the Marquise had already left the house, and the little lord sighed regretfully. In the past, his mother never got up so early. She liked extravagant ostentation. Just for breakfast, she had to set a table full of delicacies from mountains and seas. Even though she couldn't finish it all by herself.After breakfast, it will take a long time to carefully put on makeup. By the time I can go out, the sun has already climbed to the middle of the sky.

When the listless Brother Jacintos heard that the Marquise had gone out, he immediately became energetic, his footsteps were windy, he carried the little lord into the prepared carriage, and walked towards the gate of the city.

Both sides of the street, the doorway of the house, and even the balcony windows that the carriage passed by were all filled with bright and charming flowers, just like a world of flowers.Many young women are also playing with one or two flowers on their hair buns, full of youthful atmosphere, and most of the young men follow behind them, as if they are waiting for the best opportunity, waiting for the girl they like to be alone If the girl nods shyly and agrees, then their marriage will be blessed by the God of Flowers, and they will live happily ever after.

That's why the Flower God Festival is so grand. In fact, to put it bluntly, this festival is a blind date meeting in disguise. Because it is held every three years and lasts for seven days, there are countless unmarried men and women who come here, and there are too many marriages. Countless, some romantic men and women will choose to stay and settle down, and jointly manage this destined marriage.

However, the Flower God Festival has continued to this day. As a token of love, garlands are not only limited to men who give them to women. There are also bold women who weave the most beautiful garlands and give them to the men they like. No.It's just that there are relatively few bold women, and once they give a wreath without permission, they will be laughed at by their peers and hate to marry, so many women dare not easily express their feelings to each other even if they have a crush on a man.

The little lord leaned over the window of the carriage and looked around. He saw that the people on the street were all dressed up, and there were many girls wearing garlands on their heads. Why is the wreath on your waist?"

"Does it look good?" Brother Hyacinthus spread his hands generously, showing the wreath that Little Baisha gave him as a pendant on his waist, and said happily, "It's made by Little Baisha, it's beautiful. Bar!"

The little lord admired it again, and nodded seriously. The garland is beautiful, and Brother Hyacinthus, who wears the garland as an accessory, is even more beautiful. In fact, he would look just as good without wearing the garland as a pendant.

Brother Hyacinthus was very happy when he got the affirmation. Although he was quite confident in his appearance, he educated the little lord solemnly, saying: "The wreath is beautiful, but when you grow up, you must Carefully give the wreath to the girl on the Flower God Festival, as long as you put the wreath on the girl, you will be responsible to her for the rest of your life, understand?"

"Why?" The little lord, who was still very ignorant of love between men and women, was taken aback, and asked with his blue eyes looking at Brother Yacinthos without blinking.

Brother Hyacinthus was attracted by his eyes for a moment. They were a pair of blue eyes like jewels hidden in the deep sea. These eyes were very familiar. The city lord of the metropolis has the same blue eyes that can purify the soul. Eye.

"Because the garland is your love, only the girl you like will give love to her, and you want to protect her for the rest of your life!" Brother Yacintos, who was overwhelmed by God, explained the reason clearly It's very transparent, but seeing the little lord still looks confused, he shook his head helplessly, that's right, a child who hasn't turned ten years old, what can he know?Then he said again, "You are still a child, and you still don't understand many things. In short, only the person you are willing to marry and who decides to take care of her for the rest of her life can give her a wreath to wear. Do you understand?"

The little lord nodded half-understood, but he was still a child after all, and "marrying" and "caring for" were too abstract for him, and he couldn't understand it at all.

At the gate of the bustling city, the Marquis was unexpectedly not seen, and she was delayed by something, so she did not stay here to wait for her husband's arrival.

Sheng also has a lot of business here, and the vendors put up a dazzling array of goods on their stalls. There are many novelty gadgets that I have never seen before, such as fireworks that will fly into the sky and then scatter sparks when lit, like dogs and cats made of wood, etc. The little animal is walking around with clumsy limbs, like blowing on a circular wooden hairpin soaked in water, and countless colorful bubbles will float out. The bubbles floating in the air are shining brightly in the sun. Hui, immediately attracted the attention of many children.

Of course, what attracts the most attention are the small stalls that buy and sell snacks. The metropolis is an open port, and the sea transportation is well developed. It has introduced snacks from many countries on the other side of the ocean, which are very popular among people who come and go.

The clever Brother Hyacinthus brought a lot of money to go out. A beef biscuit is really expensive, and he likes to eat it very much. Every time he buys it, he doesn’t buy more than a few. Take it and eat it, and the other is that he is a real rich man, and he can't spend any money. If he doesn't spend a lot of money on such a carnival festival, he will feel sorry for the moldy gold and silver jewelry in the treasury.

That's why the row of eight strong guards following the two of them held countless things bought from vendors in their hands. Seeing that they couldn't free up their hands to carry extra items, the guard at the head cried and begged for help. Said: "Good monk, don't buy any more today?"

"However, the durian over there seems to have just been unloaded from the carriage. It must have been transported here just after landing. It looks very fresh and delicious. Your Excellency's favorite food!" Brother Yacintos pointed and returned Durian, who was not on the booth, shouted excitedly.

They have almost seen the goods and fruits imported from other countries in the coastal areas of the metropolis. However, after tasting the durian, they immediately divided the tastes into two opposing sides. It tasted delicious, and they ate it with relish, and couldn't stop at all. Among the eight guards, half of the guards salivated when they heard the durian, while the other half showed the pain of life rather than death.

The little lord wrinkled his nose. He had tasted durian, but the taste was indescribable. He had eaten one bite before, and he would never take a second bite anyway, so he heard Brother Hyacinthus say he liked it. If you eat durian as an excuse to buy it, you will feel bad.

After buying back the fragrant durians, a group of people walked quickly to the pergola at the gate of the city. The location and size of the pergola are also different, and the rental price is also different. For a rich man like Brother Jacintos, Of course, the pergola is the most spacious and gorgeous one.

Because of the high rental price, no one has rented it to take a rest for the time being. A few guards salivating over durians begged Brother Yacintos to open a durian first to taste it. Brother Hyacinthus, unable to resist the temptation, agreed.

The poor little lord and a few guards who also couldn't bear the smell of durian had to pay to rent the pergola opposite, which was considered a relief.
