Because Xu Xuanzan is a native of Lin'an, and his brother-in-law Wang Yanyang is the head catcher in the yamen, he also has more or less prestige in the local area. With these prerequisites, Boholtang's business has always been very good. But it really responds to the word "and" in the middle, life and beauty, and the husband and wife are even sweeter and warmer, envious of the infinite affection of others.

Time passed quickly in the ordinary, and in a blink of an eye it was the middle of May of the following year, and it was the Dragon Boat Festival.

Speaking of this Dragon Boat Festival, it is the most sunny day in the year, and it is a taboo for reptiles and monsters in the world. Among them, especially the five poisons such as scorpions, snakes, centipedes, geckos, and toads, in addition to bearing the attack of yang energy, the most feared is realgar.

Because every household traditionally drinks realgar wine and sets off firecrackers mixed with realgar on this day, the air is filled with a lingering realgar smell.

As the Dragon Boat Festival approaches, the bodies of the two Bai Qing sisters are also getting worse and worse, and their skills are declining day by day.

On the fourth day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar, Qingqing didn't wait for dawn to find Bai Mao Nu and pulled her to the courtyard: "Sister, the Dragon Boat Festival is coming, and the yang energy of this heaven and earth is really forcing me." He pursed his lips and darkened his eyes, "I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on." ”

Bai Mao Nu also had this thought in his heart these days, and bowed his head anxiously: "Qing'er, you go to find a place to avoid the Dragon Boat Festival and come back, so as not to show up and be more afraid of hurting your body." ”

Qingqing's eyebrows were anxious: "What about you, sister?" Without waiting for the slave to talk, she sighed and continued, "You are pregnant now, and it has been more than eleven months...... On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, the yang qi is very heavy, especially at noon, plus incense is smoked everywhere, and firecrackers are set off, can you survive it?"

"Not so early. Bai Mao Nu took over the words, and pondered with his eyes in his eyes, "Because I am a demon body, my child was born later than mortals. Mortals conceive in October, and we aliens are afraid that it will drag on for another month or two. It won't be that fast, and it shouldn't work. ”

"That's pretty much it!" Qingqing was still anxious, "Besides, even if you don't give birth for a few days, you are pregnant and ......weak" Pursed the corners of her lips and sighed, and rolled her eyes again, "We came to the world to look for Xu Xuanzan's first year of the Dragon Boat Festival, I hid under the West Lake for a day to avoid appearing, and the feeling of pain and unbearable pressure really scared me!"

"Qing'er, I understand. Mao Nu patted the back of Qingqing's hand and interrupted her, "Last year, I also stayed with the official and never left, smoked wormwood and smelled male yellow, isn't there nothing wrong?"

"You weren't pregnant last year!" Qingqing said, "Besides, at that time, my brother-in-law was still working as a supervisor in Master Wang's shop, and on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, because there were many customers who came to buy realgar medicinal wine, he didn't rest and didn't accompany you for the holiday." He sighed slightly, "When you came home at dusk, you pretended to be asleep and 'escaped' the 'catastrophe' of drinking realgar wine with him!

"Because of this matter, although the official didn't say it, I could still feel his loneliness afterwards......" Bai Mao Nu recalled a few times along Qingqing's words, "After all, the Dragon Boat Festival is a big festival, and he also hopes to have a lively festival with his own lady." ”

"Accompany him for the holidays?" I put out those old words because I wanted to persuade Bai Maonu to go with me, but I didn't want her to go around Xu Xuanzan again! Qingqing raised his eyebrows, "He's happy, you just wait to die!"

Qingqing's temper is like this, for her not very respectful and polite at this time, Bai Maonu is not really angry: "Sister knows that you care about me." Dai's eyebrows stretched slightly, "Don't worry! His mind turned again, and he muttered unconsciously, "It's just that you just said that I am pregnant." The official has always counted the days, and when he saw that I had never given birth, and that I was not as good as other pregnant women at this time, he was anxious and scared every day. Although he always avoided talking to me for fear that I would think too much, it was hard to ensure that he would not think about what we were afraid of. "I'm struggling with how to hide the past......"

"It's all this time, you're still thinking about your family Xu Daguan!" Sure enough, the woman who is trapped in the obsession of love will always seem to be as unreasonable as losing her heart and going crazy, Qingqing has never felt like this for a moment There is an obstacle in communicating with Bai Maonu, "Don't worry about that, you should think about how to survive this Dragon Boat Festival first!" had to sigh negatively, and had to be patient again, pursed her lips and looked at Bai Maonu with a good color, "Sister, you have to go with me!" Qingcheng Mountain's sisterhood that has been with each other for hundreds of years, in fact, sometimes Qingqing really suspects that the person who cares about Bai Mao slave in the world is definitely herself, but does she know whether she understands it?

"I'm measured. There was no unexpected answer, only to see Bai Maonu's face calm and inarticulate, "Besides, the Dragon Boat Festival is a big festival, the family has to be reunited, I am married and a wife, so I left...... It's not good after all. ”

"You ......" is so calm and relaxed, and the white slave who doesn't need to be in the right place can't spit out any words anymore. He was silent for a moment, so he had to shake his head and slowly exhale a breath of slow breath, and then faced the slave again, helpless, "Sister, then I'll go, you have to be careful by yourself." I'll come back after the Dragon Boat Festival. He added.

"Hmm. "The head of the white slave. She also understands that she and Qingqing are not in the same mind now, and they each have their own plans, and it is useless to say more.

Thinking about her sister's cultivation for 1,700 years, since she has this certainty, there shouldn't be any major problems in the future. Obsessed and difficult to move, Qingqing suddenly thought of the fact that Fahai actually let Xu Xuanzan back like this, and at first she was worried that Xu Xuanzan would cooperate with Fahai to harm their sisters, but now she suddenly understands Fahai a little...... She no longer insisted, and turned into a cyan light and shadow on the spot to escape the catastrophe.

。

The next day, during the Dragon Boat Festival, Bai Mao Nu came to Baohetang to help Xu Xuanzan take care of his business as usual, and because he was afraid of the smell of realgar wine and realgar firecrackers, he came a little earlier than usual.

As soon as Xu Xuanzan saw that the lady was coming, he closed the main entrance of Baohetang and closed it for business today. Seeing that Bai Mao Nu was alone, he casually asked: "Hey, where is Xiaoqing? Why don't you see her?" ”

"Well, that's right. Mao Nu chose a seat far away from the window and sat down, and Wan Er replied, "Qing'er is going to visit a few distant relatives, and she left yesterday, but the officials didn't pay attention." He added, "I'll come back after the Duanyang Festival." ”

"Oh......" Xu Xuan praised and sat down next to Mao Nu, "There is a party in the yamen, and the people who are in charge of the business have gone to gather with their families." No, my brother-in-law also took my sister to go, and after the Dragon Boat Festival, I had to follow those couples to Gusu to play together, and it would take about two or three days to come back. ”

"Go to Gusu?" Bai Mao Nu was playful in his heart, and his heart was so lucky, and it was Gusu again, so he and the officials came back from Gusu, and his brother-in-law took his sister to Gusu to play. But I think Gusu is not too far from Lin'an, so it doesn't matter if it's a coincidence or not.

"Isn't it? Xu Xuanzan was also infinitely emotional, and then smiled softly at the slave, "Then we husband and wife, let's celebrate the festival in Baohetang today!"

Bai Mao Nu smiled for the first time: "It's good." "If the water lotus is not strong in the cold wind, it is shy.

Xu Xuanzan suddenly saw that something was wrong on Mao Nu's face at this moment, and stared at him for a long time, frowning and concerning: "Lady, why is your complexion so bad...... But what's wrong with it?"

"It's okay, it's okay. Mao Nu looked up suddenly. During the Dragon Boat Festival, how can she look good...... It's just that Xu Xuanzan won't know!

I don't know if it's because the light in the store is not very transparent, Xu Xuanzan always feels that the atmosphere around here is lifeless, and there is no holiday look...... I felt that the slave might be a little tired along the way, so I wanted to enliven the calm and waveless atmosphere: "Lady, you can sit down and recuperate." What about me...... Go and prepare wine and food. Thinking so, he stood up and smiled softly in her ear, and kissed her forehead a little ambiguously, "We husband and wife have a good Dragon Boat Festival!"

"Hmm. As the noon hour continued to advance, Bai Mao Nu felt more and more that his body was hot up and down, and Xu Xuanzan could only hold on, "Okay." "Simple reply.

Xu Xuanzan didn't know the hidden secret, so naturally he didn't think too much about it or pay too much attention to it, so he turned around and went into the back kitchen.

He was busy going in and out of the back kitchen, and after several times, he finally put out the dishes that had been prepared one by one.

In order to celebrate the festive season, he put too much thought into this luncheon. There are eight-treasure duck with a soft mouth close to the medicinal diet, crispy chicken with salt and pepper, sweet and sour squirrel fish, spicy shrimp pot, jade long beans, cashew nuts with green celery, white jade lotus root in soup, mille-feuille tassel cake, glutinous rice stuffed dumplings, purple rice egg yolk dumplings...... All kinds, bright colors, rich to the eye.

Of course, there is also the indispensable realgar wine in the Dragon Boat Festival......

Xu Xuanzan sat down with Bai Mao Nu like this, raised his hand and picked up the realgar wine: "Lady, since you and I got married, it has been more than a year unconsciously. In the past year or so, too many big and small things have happened. His gaze was warm and soft, and his starry eyes were condensed with the brilliance of the bright moon and the deep affection of the pool, "You and I have gone through the ups and downs together, but as everyone knows, no matter how big the wind and rain are, hardships and hardships, they can't compare to my precious life and gains and losses for my lady......"

"Official......" Mao Nu sank into Xu Xuanzan's infinitely moving confession mixed with sincere feelings, and Huo Erran was a little drunk.

In a trance, her misty eyes drooped little by little, and she saw the cup of realgar wine in his hand that greeted her.
