Eight Yangmei
Biyong The local area where Xuefu Academy is located is famous for producing yangmei. There is a local saying: "The relationship with the locals depends on whether you can receive yangmei during the plum rain season."
academy Chen Gong carried many baskets on his back and greeted everyone with a smile, distributing them to everyone.
It's the hottest day of the summer, but Guo Jia is sleeping by the window. Sunlight is streaming in through the cracks, and Jia Xu pinches a bayberry to taste it. It tastes normal. So, he feeds one to the half-asleep Guo Jia by the window. Unexpectedly, Guo Jia wakes up abruptly after chewing it a few times. His beautiful face scrunches up, looking like he wants to vomit but can't. He grimaces and swallows the bayberry, then spits out a small purple seed.
Jia Xu looks at Guo Jia's face, then down at the bayberry, and says, "It can't be that bad... and don't make it look like I'm bullying you...!"
At this moment, Xun Yu floated in from outside, directing people to put down the ice while saying, "Guo Jia can't stand sour things, no need to waste them."
Guo Jia made a face at Xun Yu, but indeed did not touch the bayberries in the bamboo basket again, just watching Jia Xu eat with a sullen face.
After finishing his instructions, Xun Yu prepared to leave, but as if remembering something, he took two steps back and said to the two people by the window, "Don't be absent tomorrow on the Dragon Boat Festival!" Guo Jia lazily shouted, "Got it," and then poked Jia Xu, asking, "Are there any special customs for the Dragon Boat Festival in Liangzhou?"
Jia Xu carefully thought for a moment and shook his head. Guo Jia smiled behind his fan and said, "There are many customs in the south, we will be busy tomorrow!"
Chapter 95: Multicolored Ropes
Guo Jia was in poor health, so during the Dragon Boat Festival, he always carried a bunch of sachets and multicolored ropes. He insisted on using the ones woven by Xun Yu and demanded the most fashionable colors.
Every year on the Dragon Boat Festival, Xun Yu would learn the most fashionable flower colors with his wives. Carrying two sachets and a colorful rope, Xun Yu went to find Guo Jia, but only Jia Xu was seen playing with calamus and mugwort at the door. When Xun Yu asked, Jia Xu thought for a moment and said, "Fengxiao said to go buy something."
Xun Yu didn't ask much, during the Dragon Boat Festival, Guo Jia did enjoy spending time with someone, and after saying a few words to Jia Xu, he left.
Guo Jia came back before noon, walking as fast as the wind, grabbing Jia Xu's hand and putting something on it. Then the noon bell rang, and Guo Jia let out a heavy sigh.
Jia Xu looked down and saw that what was put on his wrist was the same thing that Xun Yu had sent. Guo Jia gasped and said it was lucky to have made it in time, as the effect of wearing it after noon would be halved!
Jia Xu fiddled with two long tassels and asked what they were. Guo Jia pinched Jia Xu's wrist and said, "Five-colored cord! Blue, white, red, green, and yellow, representing the blue sky, auspicious clouds, fire, rivers, and the earth. After the first rain following the Dragon Boat Festival, throw it into the rain. The Dragon King will take away diseases and bad luck. Wenhe, you need to be safe!"
Jia Xu looked at the somewhat rough workmanship and asked, "Did you make this?"
Guo Jia turned around slowly and shouted, "Where's Xun Yu senior? Why hasn't my five-colored cord been delivered to me this year!"
Jia Xu reached out and grabbed Guo Jia's wrist, causing him to stagger. Guo Jia turned around and looked at Jia Xu, who was solemnly putting a colorful rope on his hand, saying, "Fengxiao, you must stay safe too." Guo Jia felt a little embarrassed and turned away, blinking at the glaring sun outside the window.
In the tenth chapter of "Listening to the Wind"
Throughout the day, Jia Xu didn't see Guo Jia in class. Just as he finished asking the teacher a question and walked out, he heard a crisp dog bark.
The smooth-haired Yellow dog ran over, carrying a reed in its mouth and wagging its tail. It rubbed against Jia Xu's feet, placed the reed in his hand, and then barked, wagging its tail as if seeking praise. Jia Xu reached out and patted Yellow dog's head, asking, "Did Fengxiao send you to deliver a message?" The little dog placed its paw on Jia Xu's wrist and nodded solemnly.
Jia Xu passed through the dense reeds and looked at Guo Jia lying on the raft, asking, "Why aren't you going to class today?"
Guo Jia raised his hand and waved the bamboo strip between his fingers, saying, "Today I am taking a break, listening to the lake breeze. Wenhe, do you want to join me?"
Jia Xu carefully stepped onto the raft, holding onto the hem of his clothes, and sat down next to Guo Jia. The wind on the lake was strong, making the water gurgle.
Guo Jia closed his eyes and tapped the water surface with a reed, sometimes hitting it and sometimes not. Jia Xu was very puzzled, but still lay with Guo Jia and listened to the sound of the wind together.
