Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 2752 (Two Thousand Seven Hundred and Fifty Two) Two

"Your grandfather told me a lot of things before. Where should I start?" Tie Jinjue thought for a moment and said, "Well... you must have heard someone talk about the long blue cloth tied around the hand of the man who committed suicide in Muxi Pavilion that day, right?"

"Yes." Tie Hongyan said, "What is that piece of cloth?"

"That's called a 'Qiānxiān'." Tie Jinjue said, "On the day your grandma committed suicide in Muxi Pavilion, she had it tied on her hand. Your grandpa also had one, and they both got the Qiānxiān on the same day. It is made of precious and rare materials, and it symbolizes that the hearts of two people will be tied together forever. That thing cannot be sold casually, and can only be obtained during the annual Qiānxiān Festival. That year, your grandma and your grandpa were not married yet, and they went to a place where they celebrate the Qiānxiān Festival every year. The activities during the Qiānxiān Festival are all unique customs of that place."

Tie Hongyan asked, "Did they participate in the Tie-up Festival in that place and get the Tie-up Belt?"

"Yes." Tie Jinjue said, "They participated in the guessing game of the Tie Tie Festival on the street. There are only two tie strings, and they can only be obtained by one pair of lovers. During the event, many couples guessed together, and only the couple who guessed the most correctly could get the two tie strings. The couple who got the two tie strings had to tie them on each other's hands in front of everyone. In addition, the two people could also get another gift from the organizer of the event and blessings from the onlookers."

"Who among my grandma and grandpa guessed the most correctly?" Tie Hongyan asked.

"Yes." Tie Jinjue said, "At that time, many couples wanted to get those two ties. Because your grandma and grandpa guessed the most correctly, they were the only ones who got those two ties. But what happened next was..."

Tie Jinjue sighed.

"What's wrong?" Tie Hongyan asked.

"When they were about to tie the ties on each other's hands in front of everyone, many onlookers started to say some unpleasant things." Tie Jinjue said, "Because they saw that your grandma's nails were blue, they knew she was a blue-armored person."

Although Tie Hongyan didn't know what happened next, she knew it was definitely not a good thing, so she asked with a heavy heart, "Then what?"

Tie Jinjue said, "Your grandma and grandpa listened to what those people said... They said that the precious ties could not be tied to the blue-armored people. In the past, they were tied to the Tiecang people every year, but this time they could not be tied to the blue-armored people... There were a lot of words... In short, they were very harsh. At that time, someone asked the organizer of the event to take back the two ties. The person who gave out the ties seemed very embarrassed at the time. He said that the rules were like that and it was not written that the blue-armored people were not allowed to get the ties. He also said that he did not expect that the blue-armored people and her lover would participate in the event together. If he took back the ties at this time, it would be a violation of the rules, and no one would believe him when he organized an event in the future. Someone asked the organizer of the event if he really wanted to give another gift to bless the two people. Someone said that it was too ostentatious for your grandma and your grandpa, a couple with one of them being a blue-armored person, to participate in such an event. Others also said something at the same time. At that time, your grandma was very dissatisfied, but she did not want to see this situation put too much pressure on your grandpa, so she told your grandpa not to tie the ties and let your grandpa leave with her."
