Shi Gui blinked, and the little Taoist priest took another bite of the roasted sweet potato, puffed out his mouth and blew, and swallowed the piece

Go, stretched out his tongue and fanned it, looked for cold water all over the kitchen, pushed the wooden lid on the water tank, took a large sip of cold water with a wooden scoop, and then put his tongue in his mouth, sighed long, and then looked like a saliva face, and said with a smile: "Why can't I be here." ”

Shi Gui laughed out loud, and Mingyue said it herself: "Our ancestor is a brother with the old Taoist here, he is over 100 years old, so he asked us to give us a birthday gift." ”

It was as if he had received the teacher's order, but he secretly followed, how could such a good errand as a gift fall on him, and he picked a few senior brothers who could talk and do things, and even two little Taoist boys with fine skin and tender meat, but he didn't have anything to do.

Don't pick him, he wants to follow his own way, secretly follow down the mountain on the day of departure, wait for those brothers to get on the boat, when the boat is about to leave, he will run to the boat, the boatman sees that he is also a man wearing a Taoist robe, and said why is it so late, Mingyue snorted, saying that he was strained in the bushes, and the boatman did not suspect that he had it, and when the boat sailed into the river, he came out of the boat, and he couldn't do it, and he had to take him if he didn't take him.

Thinking of this, he was a little proud, broke half of the sweet potato that he had bitten in, and knew to give Shi Gui half of the uneaten half: "It's much better here than we eat." ”

I have to celebrate my birthday, he doesn't want to leave, he has thought of all the methods, and when the Qingxu brothers are leaving, he will hide, and when everyone is gone, he will come out again, he is far away, he is here to send a congratulatory gift, and Yuan Miaoguan can still drive him out.

Shi Gui didn't know what to do, and asked him with a smile: "It's strange that our old lady is coming to congratulate early in the morning, and it turns out that the Taoist temple at home has also sent someone." He took half of his roasted sweet potato, and half a bag of cold cakes and bean paste filling, and gave them all to him: "You can taste it, I bought it on the way here." ”

Liangguo is a longan big, made of cool silk noodles, there is still a red on the top, Mingyue took it and stuffed one into his mouth, the fruit has a little milky flavor, it is Mingyue has never eaten it, he stuffed three or four into his mouth in one go, puffed up his mouth and chewed it and swallowed it, Shi Gui has found the copper kettle, boiling hot water in it, and wrapped the copper handle with a towel: "I have an errand on my body, and I will come to look for you when I am free." ”

"There are shou peaches steamed on the big steamer at the back, you come, I'll take one for you to eat. "The longevity peach is used to give to the neighbors who come to worship the birthday, and many people outside the mountain gate are waiting in a long line, or a basket of eggs or two evening stalks, as long as they bring Eli Lilly, they can't go back empty-handed.

To make longevity peach for Zhang Laoxian is a famous dough sculpture master in Jinling City, outside the pile of eight immortals to celebrate the birthday is his craft, the bottom of a longevity peach mountain, the big peach on the top of the bean paste jujube alone used ten catties, the cage drawers are special, steamed up in the morning, to the nobles, and then divide the peach tip to eat.

The Taoist temple set up a banquet, Zhang Lao Xian's 100th birthday to eat nine days of flowing water banquet, this is the sage licensed, but also sent the palace chef over, the banquet has several dishes are eaten in the palace when the banquet, ordinary and can not taste this taste.

Shi Gui responded with a smile, carried the kettle to the porch, Jinli sat and wiped his pants, such a piece is wasted, the white silk handkerchief was also stained with yellow mud, and he muttered twice: "It is said that the old immortal is a longevity, what kind of snow and rain is it." ”

In the end, I didn't dare to say too much, seeing Shi Gui coming over with water, she was about to leave as soon as she shook her handkerchief, and saw that she only had a pot in her hand, and her face immediately changed, but Shi Gui pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled: "Only this pot is open, sister, just wait." ”

After finishing speaking, he left, leaving Jinli to stand under the corridor and stomp his feet, biting his lip angrily, Shi Gui took the water back, and made tea with the six out of two, because he was going to stay for a day, he brought all the tea stove and tea sets when he came, and even the water and tea were specially brought over, and there were several old ladies sitting in front of Mrs. Song, Ye Wenxin was next to Yu Rong Zezhi and Yu Rong without saying a word, making a shy appearance, and didn't say a word.

Sitting with the old lady were all guests of the East Palace, among which the old lady Song had the highest official position, and the old lady Song naturally sat on the top, and those ladies and wives asked: "I heard that the prince is going to come to give a congratulatory gift in person, I think there is a big seat, but it is waiting for him." ”

Zhang Lao Xianren's friendship with the saint has been twenty or thirty years, if Zhang Lao Xianren is really an otherworldly, he can't mix with the current position, the ability is real, but it is also true to be a person, and he has set up such a big seat, he must be waiting for the prince to come.

"It's just that the weather is not beautiful today, but the rain and snow don't stop, and I didn't see the roll shed when I came in.

One asked and answered, and when the tea was delivered, the lady took a sip: "It's really good tea and good water." ”

Mrs. Song waited for this sentence, and pointed at Ye Wenxin: "This is given to me by my daughter-in-law's niece, I am old and light, this silver group is good to eat, and it doesn't disturb my sleep." ”

Ye Wenxin didn't want to be in the limelight, but when the old lady named her, she had to smile, still without saying a word, pulling Yu Rong's sleeve with one hand, looking more timid than her two younger sisters.

Song Zhimei smiled and took the pot to fill a cup for Mrs. Song, the same did not speak, but she was much more generous, several ladies knew things, if she didn't care about her age, just looking at this intimate appearance, she would still be the old lady's own granddaughter.

There was a compliment to the unaware, saying that Song Zhimei was generous and decent, and sure enough, it was a girl from the Song family, and the old lady patted Song Zhimei's hand in front of people: "But no, I also love her in these people." ”

When Jin Li came back with water, she had eaten a round of tea in it, Chunyan frowned, Jin Li shrank to the wall, and she didn't know how to scold Shi Gui in her stomach, she scratched her with her eyes, and said, "It's only a pot of boiling, I've been waiting for a long time." "Not only waited, but also got angry, and asked a little underworld priest to play around, and it was easy to beg for water, and then he came back to make a difference.

After a while, the girl of the Wu family of the Ji family also came, and it was another round of greetings, and the young girls had seen each other, to the point of not being restrained, sitting tasteless, the girl of the Wu family said that the plum blossoms were blooming well behind the palace, and she wanted to go to the back to take a look.

King Rui asked himself to propose, this matter is full of Jinling no one knows, as soon as the girl of the Ji family appeared, several ladies couldn't help but look at her, Mrs. Ji just didn't see it, Miss Ji also sat up straight, but how could she not be embarrassed, the queen didn't nod her head at this time, King Rui ran to Ji's house every day, and the threshold was stepped on by him.

The girl of the Wu family got up, and the rest was nothing, the charcoal basin in the hall was still cold, it was better to go outside, take a look at the palace saucer plum cinnabar plum, hold an oil-paper umbrella, and put on the crane of foreign thread, Ye Wenxin took a step behind, ordered Shi Gui to follow, and saw that everyone was wearing it, so she breathed a sigh of relief, she stood in these without eyeliding.

The one on the girl of the Wu family was brilliant on her body, but no one asked, for fear that it would look like a villager, Song Zhimei picked her head: "What kind of material is this, I have never seen it." He praised Wu Weiqing and Ye Wenxin: "We don't know, you must know." ”

The Ye family has been weaving, how could such a thing have never been seen, Ye Wenxin is not good at speaking, so he said: "This is Mao Jin, which is woven with peacock feathers mixed with gold thread." "This thing is expensive, but it is not a rare thing, a horse of twelve feet, more than fifty taels of silver, where is really not seen like this.

The voice was thin, and the people called the coat to cover it more and more weakly, Song Zhimei carried her out, and the rest didn't feel that she was being teasing, but asked about the origin, knowing that it was the weaving Ye family, and they all smiled at her.

Yu Rong opened his mouth at this time: "It's not without it at home, it turns out that the queen mother has rewarded a piece, because it is a royal gift, grandmother doesn't use it on weekdays, and even my wife has two mattresses of this color." ”

She was able to pat the horse, but she wanted to belittle her own family, and several sisters did not agree, Yu Rong rarely spoke, and she hit Song Zhimei with a word, but she was not annoyed at all, but pinched Yu Rong's cheeks with a smile: "But you rely on your young age to turn over your grandmother's good things and hide it from me to ask for rewards." ”

She joked about this, but Yu Rong didn't speak, the girl of the Wu family lazily ignored her, took Ji Ziyue's arm, pulled her to see the plum blossoms, a few cloaks stood under the corridor, the pink wall is Uwa, like the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River, the clusters of red and white plum blossoms have become more and more energetic after the snow and rain, and they turned sideways and looked up to see the red plums in the snow.

The gong suddenly sounded in front of her, and the girl of the Wu family said when she heard it: "Let's go back quickly." "This gong is used to open the way, and whoever comes, it is a nobleman.

A few people also heard that the prince was coming, and when they heard the sound of the gong, they thought that the prince was coming, so they hurriedly put on their cloaks, although they couldn't get in the way in front of the apse, but they were also afraid of colliding and calling people to pick up the courtesy, so they hugged the stove and held the umbrella and went back.

Ye Wenxin walked more and more anxiously, she just fell at the end, and when she turned around at this time, she was the first, who knew that when she arrived at the gate of the hall, she saw a group of people standing outside, among which there was a young man wearing a red two-shouldered dragon suit, Ye Wenxin knew that it was the crown prince's costume with a sweep of his eyes, and he quickly bowed down and hid his face deeply.

The people in the back saw that the one in front knelt down, and quickly knelt down, the prince turned to one side, it was a young man who was handsome, and the kneeling on the ground was either red or blue, he recognized his two cousins at a glance, took two steps forward, and laughed: "The two girls will play, but look at the plum blossoms behind them?"

The voice was warm, the smile seemed to be a warm spring breeze, Song Zhimei's heart "dong dong" jumped, she wanted to raise her face to take a look, but she pinched her palm tightly and didn't dare, the girl of the Wu family was about to bow down, when she heard the prince say her cousin, and saw that her two brothers were following behind, she simply pulled Ji Ziyue and made a grimace at the prince.

Shi Gui and Ye Wenxin are the closest to the prince, Shi Gui is not outstanding, kneeling beside Ye Wenxin, only feeling that she is trembling, quietly reaching into Ye Wenxin's cloak, and grasping her hand, the more this time, the more she can't show her face.

The corner of the prince's robe hung in front of Ye Wenxin's eyes, took a step forward, almost rubbing Ye Wenxin's face, Shi Gui's hand was held by Ye Wenxin, and he held her tightly, he didn't dare to come out, Shi Gui lowered his body, leaned forward a little, and blocked Ye Wenxin for most of it.

The prince said this, and went forward, and when he entered the apse, he saw Ji Wu's two aunts, and when he turned around, the corner of his robe hit Ye Wenxin's face, and as soon as she gasped, the prince heard it, bowed his head and said, "I'm sorry, but I touched you?"
