Chapter 283 Mask
"Didn't you get blocked by your fans in modern times?"

Li Yue thought for a while and replied, "Probably not."

He is more careful when he travels, and when he is recognized occasionally, fans will not flatter him like this, but will just talk about how he likes Li Yue in a nonchalant manner, which is completely useless.

In ancient times, people admired you very much for your literary talents, so you respected them, not because Li Yue was handsome.

Although a man's appearance is still very important to the girls in Huaichun in ancient times, it is a deduction for literati. No one wants to see other men more handsome than themselves, right?

So Li Yue feels that he is very lucky to be able to get into this position in the literary world.

The Wenhui is a gathering of literati.

A party is just drinking, chatting and pretending to be awesome.This central point has never changed from ancient times to the present, and it can be seen from various modern class reunions. When everyone meets, it is not about recalling the past, but talking about their experiences over the years.

Whoever has a high social status is really awesome, and a group of former classmates will surround you.

And it was similar in ancient times, anyone who could do poetry well would be really awesome. A group of literati who were usually superior to ordinary people let go of their arrogance and wanted to make friends with people who could do poetry well.

Because no matter how powerful a person is, it will only last for a few decades, but poetry is something that can be handed down from generation to generation.

It is the lifelong dream of all literati to leave a name in history. They have self-knowledge and know that it is impossible to achieve it with their own efforts, so they put their minds on great talents like Li Yue.

If one day Li Yue is happy and writes a poem as a gift to his friends, won't his dream of leaving his name in history come true?
With such thoughts in mind, many literati have become sycophants.

I didn't learn much about Confucius and Mencius, but I was very proficient in it.

The gathering lasted for two hours. Apart from Li Yue's poem, many people wrote one or two poems chanting the Qixi festival, but none surpassed Li Yue's.Poems that can be handed down to modern times cannot be surpassed by just one or two.

There are not many dishes in Wenhui, but sake is full.

However, this wine was too weak, so Li Yue didn't drink too much, and after he had had enough, he took Xie Siyan to bid farewell to Zhou Zhengdao.

"Brother Zhou, let's take our leave first."

"Why don't you stay a little longer? The atmosphere is getting hot now, what a disappointment it is for you to go away... You came just in time, I wrote a poem, you give it a taste..."

Li Yue sighed and refused: "I really have to go. I plan to go for a stroll by the river before it's too late. If there is only poetry on the Qixi Festival, then I'm not good at this festival."

Zhou Zhengdao looked at Xie Siyan, and sighed along with Li Yue: "That's fine, if there are only poems and no beauties on Qixi Festival, then it will be a broken Qixi Festival. Let's go, I will talk about it over there."

Li Yue patted Zhou Zhengdao's shoulder and said, "Thank you, I'm leaving now."

After finishing speaking, she turned her head and led Xie Siyan out of Guobei Academy.

Just like what Zhou Zhengdao said, on Qixi Festival, not only academies have activities, but folks also have activities, maybe not as high-end as in academies, but it is full of traditional Chinese atmosphere.

On the riverside, lanterns were densely covered, relying on this faint light to directly light up the river bank, brightly lit.Not to mention bright as day, but at least everything here can be seen clearly.

Under the lights are all lantern riddles, word puzzles and some small games.

Many people who come here wear masks and cannot see the original appearance.

"Let's take it too, it seems quite interesting." Xie Siyan said while holding Li Yue's hand.

After ancient times, Xie Siyan was very clingy to Li Yue, and holding hands has become a habit like eating and drinking.But this kind of habit conflicts with ancient values, and the rate of turning heads is a bit high when the two go to the street.

Although the social form of the Song Dynasty was the closest to the modern society, the folk traditions were still somewhat conservative. They didn't mind their daughters who hadn't left the cabinet to go shopping, but holding hands with people in public was a bit embarrassing for the elders.

When the folk customs in the Ming and Qing Dynasties were more closed, such behavior could be said to be unfeminine.

But at this moment, on this riverside, holding hands seems to have become a very normal thing.

There are several young couples walking and playing holding hands, but they wear monkey masks on their faces, which is quite funny, so that they can't see their faces, so they will naturally be more courageous.

Xie Siyan picked and picked from a side stall, and then gave Li Yue a mask of the second senior brother.

"You really know how to choose." Li Yue complained, put the mask of the second senior brother back in front of the stall owner, and picked up a silver mask that only covered half of his face.

Li Yue put it on and looked in front of the water mirror of the stall owner, and said to Xie Siyan: "See, this one is much more handsome."

"Hmph, I don't know good people."

Xie Siyan also put back the Chang'e mask in her hand, picked up the rabbit mask next to her and put it on.

The mask still has the aroma of rice, so it should be made of rice paste, which is the most common glue in this era, and it is easy to make and the material is cheap.

Although the artistry is good, but the so-so material is not worth a lot of money.

After calculating the price, it is only six dollars, which means that these two vividly painted masks are only a few dollars.

After paying the bill, the two held hands and walked along the river in a generous manner.

On the right is a brightly lit temporary event venue, on the left is a river reflecting light, and there are couples walking together in the same way.

However, it seems that only unmarried men and women will wear masks to walk on the riverside. Those newly married couples are happily running around and guessing lantern riddles. The older ones prefer to sit in one place and watch the river. A group of young men and women showing their vitality.

"Li Yue, do you think there is a rich lady who sneaked out here to have a tryst?"

"Have you watched too much TV? Hehe, actually, there are quite a few of them."

"Really?" Xie Siyan asked, she just said it casually before.

"Hmm." Li Yue pointed to the woman in white who was holding a lantern in the distance. "A few days ago we went to the West Lake, do you remember that there was a fat master, followed by a bunch of children, and one of them was the most beautiful..."

"Oh, oh, I know, it's just the one with the oval face."

"Well, that fat man's name is Qian Dafu. His home is only 600 meters away from ours, very close. That woman is his youngest daughter, only 16 years old."

Xie Siyan said in surprise: "16 years old? So young? Isn't this a child? Ancient children dare to secretly fall in love?"
