193. Birthday
Shi Gui brought back the two Ou'er of sour plum soup, and Danzhu smiled when he saw it: "Your father also knows to bring you sweet soup." Shi Ju looked her from top to bottom and frowned: "It's not your father who came?"
If it was really the stone that came, Shi Gui would have come back to get the money a long time ago, how could he be so slow and leisurely, even if he didn't take the money, and there was a bag of clothes and shoes, he did it early, and he was waiting to be sent out.
Shi Gui shook his head: "It's not my father, it's my fellow countryman." "Although he is not a stone father, the news of Mingyue is also good, he is not a Taoist priest to be a soldier, although it is dangerous, it is not the time to fight in the early years, the saint is heavy on martial arts, mixed background, it is always better than being a Taoist.
Shi Ju immediately pursed her lips and smiled when she heard this, she had seen Mingyue, not only before, when Mingyue left last time, she still prepared food for her, put down the needle and thread and asked, "He didn't leave, why did he come back again?"
She said last time that Mingyue liked Shi Gui, Shi Gui didn't understand what she meant in front of her, and she didn't know how to understand it, so she simply didn't say it, and smiled at her: "How do you know that he can really find his father." β
Talking about Mingyue, Danzhu sighed first: "It can be regarded as his creation, and there is finally a place to put incense on my father." "The deeds of this Lord Wu, Shi Ju Danzhu knows it, and everyone in Jinling City knows it.
Old lady Song is a civil official, and he is not familiar with the military attachΓ©, but he is no longer familiar with it, and Lord Wu's killing of water bandits is also known to Jinling City.
The water bandits were executed at the entrance of the vegetable market, and killed more than a dozen in one go, which was a major case, and they were still children at that time, and they also heard the adults say that it was terrible, saying that in those days, the ground at the entrance of the vegetable market was red, and it was not clean to water it, and the cracks in the blue bricks were crimson one after another, and when it rained, the ground was full of blood.
Shi Gui sighed when he heard this: "His father was the one who called the water bandits, and it happened that he met Lord Wu on a boat, and Lord Wu gave him silver and asked him to come back and set up a grave." β
The three of them each sighed once, now they can be regarded as ruling the world, and they are still so chaotic, Danzhu trembled with fear: "It is said that the eyes of the water bandits are red and green when they kill people, but they are scary." β
Putting the river lantern also has the meaning of pardoning the lonely soul, every family in the Zhongyuan Festival is put, and there are those who float into the river, the stars are shining and shining, and they are floating far away like soul lamps, looking at the green and quiet, more and more said that the door is closed and opened in the middle of the yuan, and the lonely ghost in the river comes out, and there are such good people, who go to the river to throw rice and paper money.
The Song family does not stop at this time, half of them pray for Song Siyuan, half of them are accumulating virtue and doing good, they have to donate money in the nursery of the Jimin Institute, collect those who have no money to see a doctor, and there are special people to go to the river to fish for the bodies of babies, most of which are born baby girls who are unwilling to raise.
Shi Gui listened for a while, knowing that Wu Qianhu was a capable official, but he didn't know what Mingyue's future was, so he thought about it and worried about Mingyue.
Shi Ju frowned when she saw her, and held back a smile and asked, "He just left, why don't you make some food for him?"
"If you leave after the August Festival, you have to burn paper for his father every seven days. "The new tomb is erected, and the soul of the summoner may not come, so there is such a rule, the grave is erected, and the paper is burned every seven days.
Shi Gui counted that he still had to come, folded two lotus lanterns and prepared them for Mingyue, thinking that he still had silver to put here at home, and he couldn't bring it with Master Wu, and he was even more unstable when he walked by himself, she was distracted, and she heard Shi Ju chuckle: "Then he can stay for your birthday?"
Danzhu blinked inexplicably, seeing the smile on the corner of Shi Ju's mouth, he immediately understood, and pushed Shi Gui: "Okay, you actually hide it from us." β
Thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl's family, I don't understand it, I already understand it, I don't understand it all, I don't marry so early, Chunyan is sixteen, Fanxing is already seventeen, and I haven't said anyone yet, I'm afraid that I have to wait to go out, and someone has to take over.
Shi Gui hit her this time, crying and laughing, Shi Ju just started to start, Danzhu joked but it was not over, Shi Gui couldn't stop her words, sighed, and blinked half-truthfully: "He wants to go to Yanjing, do you say it can be done." β
Danzhu was immediately dumb, and when she opened her mouth, she couldn't say anything to persuade her, and when she was really sad, she licked her lips and poured mung bean water for her: "Lord Wu will be promoted, he will always be able to come back, and if he doesn't come back then, you don't have to ......."
Before she finished speaking, Shi Gui couldn't hold it anymore, covered her mouth and laughed, Danzhu knew that Shi Gui had been deceived, so she reached out and pounded Shi Gui: "Wow, you still deceived people." He pounced and pressed Shi Gui on the bed, and the two of them were together, and even the raccoon slaves jumped on the bed, tilted their heads to watch them play, stretched out their little white paws, and slapped Danzhu's hand.
Danzhu became more and more refusal, hugged the raccoon slave and rubbed its face: "Okay, good, I give you food and drink for nothing on weekdays, and you still help your master." The raccoon slave vacated and meowed uncontrollably, stretching out his paws and not holding the hook, but he was tempered and let Danzhu rub it, and as soon as Danzhu let go, it was still lazily lying still.
Shi Gui fell on the bed and thought about it, Mingyue came back and forth, he had to give him something, his silver, he had to talk about it, if he settled down in Yanjing City, he had to have a place to live.
If he is not a Taoist priest, he has lost his residence, and he may not be able to follow Lord Wu, he is still young, and he is willing to ask him in the barracks to say otherwise, saying that he is a guard for Wu Qianhu, so there is no way to talk about it.
Thinking that everyone on the boat had to tie their legs and wrists to protect their joints from injury, she took out a three-foot arrowroot cloth, which was left over from her clothes for Shi's father, and she also thought about cutting a small gown for Xizi, and at this time she just made a legging wrist guard for Mingyue.
This thing is not difficult to do, as long as the long cloth is cut into long strips of cloth, the important thing is that it is strong and wear-resistant, Shi Gui has a long and wide hand on his hand, she used to do it for Shi Dad, I was afraid that he would be injured when he was sailing, and I will do it for Mingyue at this time, I am a familiar hand, I cut both sides, and I tried it first.
Try the cut leggings on your own legs first, wrap them tightly in circles, lift your legs, wrap your calves tightly, and you are not afraid of being scratched and scratched.
Mingyue really came again after three days, this time she brought licorice snow water to Shi Gui, there was a wheat stalk in the bowl, and licorice mint was mixed together, Shi Gui took a bite and took a sip, and his mouth was cool.
In the past three days, I also made two sets of leggings for Mingyue: "You used to be a Taoist priest, these can no longer be used, you can use them now, and I can't do it as well, this is for you." β
It turned out that she still wanted to make a pair of shoes, for fear of falling into people's eyes, she was the girl of the Song family, even if she said that it was made for her father, the size was different, and the young man's feet were still smaller.
Mingyue was already very happy, touched the leggings hehehe, which of the many military officers and soldiers on the ship did not tie the leggings, he also wanted, but there was nothing to be desired, shake it off and give it a try, in addition to the leggings and wrist guards, which were used when practicing knives.
When he came back, he stopped wearing his clothes, and he was still wearing a Taoist robe, carrying a stack of yellow paper in his pocket, obviously not resting at all, and asked to sell talismans on Suzaku Street.
Shi Gui covered his mouth and couldn't stop laughing, but Mingyue didn't care, after going out for a few months, the Taoist robe was one inch shorter when he came back, and he wore Senior Brother Sun's horizontal rile was too long, and he wore it short, looking at Shi Gui and smiling, he compared with her: "You weren't quite tall, why aren't you long?"
He ate well in Jinling, and there were so many martial artists on the ship, he couldn't eat meat for a day, he didn't talk about eating meat at once, and he learned to drink, Shi Gui smacked him: "The more you eat, the faster you will naturally grow." β
Mingyue frowned again, as if Shi Gui hadn't eaten, she heard that Ramadan had eaten a month's vegetarian diet, and gasped: "This girl's errand is too difficult, it's better than being a Taoist, you might as well follow me to Yanjing." Shi Gui didn't want to think about it, shook his head and refused, she left, where will Shi Daddy Qiuniang find her in the future.
Mingyue then thought that she had a family to worry about, and he was no different, his mother, I was afraid that I would give birth to three or four children if I got married, he put his leg on one leg and looked up at the palm-sized sky above the small courtyard, thinking of the rivers and stars and moons seen on the boat: "Watching the sunrise on the boat, the sun will come out of the heart of the river, which is more interesting than watching the sun on the mountain." β
Shi Gui grew so big, he climbed Tongxian Mountain with the Song family, watched the sunrise in Tongxian Temple, heard Mingyue say this, and couldn't help yearning in his heart, and even took a boat to watch the sun when he got here, and sighed with one hand: "If only I could see it." β
Mingyue held her hand: "What's this, when you redeem yourself, you can go wherever you want." Shi Guixian sighed, and when he heard him say redemption, the corners of his mouth crooked and laughed, although he knew that this place was difficult to travel, and some people had never been out of Lanxi Village in their lives, although she was helpless, she was also a "well-informed" girl.
Mingyue saw her laugh, and also laughed, patting the yellow charm on her body: "I have to go, I'll bring you a watermelon lantern next time." "The children in the city played with things, hollowed out the watermelon, carved into a lotus shape, lit a candle inside, played as a lamp, Shi Gui only knew how to tie the lantern, but had never seen the watermelon lantern, nodded and said: "Okay, I am ready to roast the duck and wait for you." β
August 15 Mid-Autumn Festival sacrifice month, the backyard for the moonlight all over the Bodhisattva statue, set up the moon cake for the fruit at the bottom, the sacrifice case was set up early, the little girls also went to the courtyard to see the hanging Bodhisattva statue, the Bodhisattva is hidden in the clouds, a jade rabbit is pounding medicine in the round moon, there is a plaque hanging above the pavilion, the word Guanghan is written, the portrait is pasted with gold, sprinkled with colored powder, it looks golden and colorful, the wax table is lit at night, and the moonlight Bodhisattva incense is prayed.
On both sides of the long case, there are gall bottles, inserted with osmanthus branches, the golden osmanthus is in bloom, a branch can be fragrant in the courtyard, a plate of pomegranates, grapes, and osmanthus brewed in the pot.
Last month, I ate a whole month of fasting, but this day is endless, every family is led by moon cakes, not to mention, the Song family also has a family banquet, Song Wanghai wrote a letter saying that he could not come back, the old lady Song pushed the boat down the river, this year's banquet, because the old lady was sick, it was particularly deserted.
It was a family banquet, so he sat at no table, and even Gan also brought Song Zhimei here, and also embroidered a statue of Guanyin for the old lady with his own hands, Gan Shi had no trouble laughing three times like before, she didn't speak, the audience was silent, and even Song Zhimei was unusual, staring at the full moon and not saying a word.
This family banquet was dispersed early, and the lanterns hanging in the courtyard were still tied by the little girls themselves, and they were also red, green, and green when they were lit, adding a bit of excitement, but when it came to dividing the cakes, it added a little bit of sadness.
A plate-sized moon cake, given by the sage, is printed with auspicious words, and it is full of black sesame seeds with five kernel bean paste, which is considered a Quanfu moon cake, and it is divided with a silver knife, and the old lady Song cut it into nine parts, took an empty plate of sweet white porcelain, and picked the black sesame seeds in it and put it on the table, to offer this to his son's spirit.
These Shi Gui didn't care at all at this time, she was tiptoeing, waiting for Mingyue to bring a watermelon lantern to see her.
