076 Dragon Boat Festival

(Let Jingping come out)

Xu Pingqi seemed to know what Xu Promise was thinking, and explained: "Daddy said that you should be quiet, be cautious in your words and deeds, and make more observations, so that people can't see through what they think at a glance." ”

Xu Yu barely squeezed out a smile when she heard it, Xu Gucheng always told her to be a true temperament, to do things without restraint, to say whatever she wants, and not to hold her words in her heart.

I didn't expect that Xu Pingqi's teaching was completely different, just because Xu Pingqi was a man?

However, can Xu Gucheng's daily teachings alone cause Xu Pingqi's quiet and old temperament now?

Thinking of this, Xu Promise's heart was a little heavy, and he hurriedly changed the topic, touched the colorful rope on his wrist and said: "You are looking for me this time, you shouldn't just tell me this." ”

"I want to ask the sixth sister to help me. Xu Pingqi bowed and was very cautious.

Xu Yue originally asked casually, but he didn't expect Xu Pingqi to really have something to say, so he hurriedly turned sideways to avoid his salute, and said with a smile: "How can you meet me, if there is anything you want me to do, just say it." ”

Xu Pingqi straightened up, with a rare look on his face that a young man should have, and asked with the promise in his eyes: "I wonder if the sixth sister will have time around the tenth day of the fifth month?"

He asked cautiously, and after a short sentence, he stopped, looked at Xu Xu's face, and waited for her answer.

Promise that his heart is turning, the school has taken the Dragon Boat Festival holiday these days, and he will not rest on the tenth day of the new year, but when the time comes, he will tell Ye Niangzi that it is okay to leave early, so he said: "There is time." ”

She answered, but Xu Pingqi didn't say anything, she couldn't help but be anxious, and said in her heart that no matter what you say, I will agree.

"On that day, several classmates from the school were coming to the house, and my mother said that she would hold a banquet for them in the outer courtyard. But they want to invite the sixth sister over, and they want to see your portrait of a hundred operas. Although Xu Pingqi spoke slowly, his speech was clear, his voice was steady, and he would not be bored.

"Okay. When the time comes, you can find a little servant and go to the tea room and carry my tea set over. Xu promised that Xu Pingqi would entertain friends at home and invite her to order tea, a little surprised, but also very happy.

He came to ask her six days in advance, and he must have just learned that his classmate had this idea, so he came to ask her opinion in advance. It's good to prepare for both.

It's rare to have this kind of mind at a young age.

Xu Pingqi's eyes lit up slightly, and he looked relieved, and couldn't help but say a few more words: "Ye Shiyi and a few people heard that the sixth sister made a portrait of the tea during the Qingming Festival. If I have to ask you, I will push them in every possible way, but they will refuse. But the sixth sister doesn't need to worry, I will prepare a screen when the time comes, and I won't let them ......"

Without waiting for Xu Pingqi to finish speaking, Xu promised to wave his hand and said: "Okay, it's decided, it's lively outside these days, you can go out and play." The sixth junior high school opened, but there was no chance. ”

Xu Pingqi left with a salute, his back straight as loose.

Wait for Xu Pingqi to leave. Xu called Chuntang over: "What day is the tenth day of the fifth month?"

Chuntang glanced at the promise, a trace of gloom flashed in his eyes, and then smiled: "It's Erlangjun's birthday, and the lady will remember to prepare a gift when the time comes." She was going to come to the Dragon Boat Festival and talk to the lady again, but she didn't expect Erlangjun to come to find the lady.

Xu Xu suddenly realized, no wonder Xu Pingqi wanted to invite a friend to Xu's house. The Lu family also specially set up a banquet to entertain them.

What should she prepare?

I don't have much contact with him on weekdays, and I don't know what he likes.

Seeing the promise frowned. Chuntang reminded: "The lady may be able to send the chess game to Erlangjun." ”

"Like to play chess?" promised to stop and look at Chuntang thoughtfully. He asked in a somewhat stiff tone: "You used to be in Yingcheng Academy, do you know why Erlang's temperament is the way it is now?"

Chuntang saluted, hung his head, and said in a low voice: "Erlangjun grew up with his wife, although he is not as naughty as other Langjun when he was young, his temperament is also lively, and he laughs at everyone when he sees him, but he is not as calm as he is now. ”

Xu Yu heard what Chuntang said, took her into the house, and said in a deep voice: "What's the matter?"

"When Erlangjun was five years old, he was a third-class maid, and he was serving beside Erlangjun's nurse at that time. At the age of nine, the fourth lady had just moved from Yingcheng Courtyard to Yilian Pavilion and began to live on her own. Erlangjun played well with the four ladies when he was a child, and he was not used to the lack of one person in Yingcheng Academy, so he often went to Yilian Courtyard. ”

Speaking of this, Chuntang glanced at Xu Promise and saw that her face was calm, so he continued: "One day, Erlangjun went to play with the fourth lady, and fell asleep in Yilian Pavilion halfway, and the nurse looked for a long time but didn't find it, thinking that he went back to Yingcheng Courtyard, but he didn't see him. It took more than an hour before he was sent back by the purple juan girl of Yilian Pavilion, Erlangjun's eyes were straight at that time, as if he was frightened by something, and he fell asleep that night and cried out for pain and blood. was so scared that the nurse didn't sleep for a few nights, guarding Erlangjun. Later, Erlangjun's temperament gradually became less lively than in the past, and he became calm......"

After Chuntang finished speaking, he took a deep breath, the nurse felt that something was wrong, but she didn't know what was going on, so she specially told her not to talk about it. She saw that Erlangjun was not injured, and she didn't have nightmares later, so she didn't say a word.

But looking at Erlangjun's more and more calm temperament, the traces of that incident in her heart are getting deeper and deeper.

The promise was clear, so he let Chuntang go out.

Xu Qian has violent tendencies and likes to abuse people, Xu Pingqi was scared to nightmares when he saw Xu Qian's anger and her abusive appearance.

It's just a fright, Xu Pingqi won't be what he is now, and he thinks Xu Qian threatened him again in the future.

Xu Yu clenched his hands tightly, took a deep breath, and called July into the house, so that she could keep an eye on the situation over there.

Xu Qian can't be allowed to come out to make trouble on the last day of the Dragon Boat Festival.

Whether it is the Song Dynasty or modern times, the Dragon Boat Festival is an extremely important festival.

The Dragon Boat Festival in the Song Dynasty began at the beginning of May, with the first day of the first month being the end of the first day and the second day of the first day of the end of the second day, until the atmosphere of the festival reached the top on the fifth day of the end of the year.

The Xu family had a problem with the tea sent to Bianjing, and the festival atmosphere was a little light, because many people came to visit on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, which became lively.

On the morning of the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the Ding and Lu families all got up early to dress up and wait to receive the people who came to visit.

Xu Guyu dressed up and went to visit the patriarchs of several big families in Suzhou with the prepared gifts as he had done a few days before.

Xu Gucheng is resting today, and he is not allowed to go to see him. But he got up earlier than everyone else and was busy with the previous incident of the Xu family.

The promise was also called by Chuntang early, and he first bathed in well water according to the custom, added Ailiu peach pu to the water, and then changed his clothes.

Dress it up. She wore a light green round-necked undershirt and a moon-white eight-panel dress. She wore a pair of freshly beaten gold heads and hairpins to ward off evil spirits, two small pearls hanging from her ears, and a multicolored string purse that she had painstakingly woven around her waist.

Before breakfast, she and Chuntang July tied a hundred ropes on their arms, wore a five-poison diagram, and inserted wormwood in a vase. He also pasted the Heavenly Master Talisman on the doors and windows.

Today, there are guests visiting Zhang's side, and they will not gather together for breakfast as a family, and they promise not to go hungry.

Once the etiquette was done, she had the opportunity to sit down and have breakfast. I first ate half a bowl of somen noodles, and then ate a plate of fragrant candy seeds. I ate three more zongzi before putting down the chopstick.

The zongzi of the Song Dynasty was wrapped in mushroom leaves, in addition to glutinous rice, it would also wrap dates, pine nuts, chestnuts, walnuts, ginger cinnamon, musk, and there were many patterns. Promise to eat a red date filling, chestnut filling, and walnut pine nut filling this morning.

The memory of the Dragon Boat Festival when Xu Liuniang followed Jingping suddenly appeared in his mind.

Every year on the morning of the Dragon Boat Festival, Jingping wears neatly, with his usual white robe and black boots.

fetched water for Xu Liuniang to wash up, and then took Baisuo, Five Poison Diagrams, and purses for her to wear, and then took her and a penny of iron money to find a gambling house to enter.

Came out in half an hour. With the money won, he went to a street restaurant to ask for a table of dishes, and the two of them feasted.

At noon, Jingping would go to the street to buy three rice dumplings stuffed with red dates. He has one, Xu Liuniang has two.

With the rest of the money, he will go to the ready-to-wear store to buy Xu Liuniang a new set of clothes, and if there is any surplus, he will buy himself a pair of the most ordinary boots.

The person who is as clean and thorough as a clear spring, I wonder if he will buy three rice dumplings filled with red dates today?

Promise to finish breakfast. Take the fan that has been prepared and go to the Yanyuan Hall to say goodbye.

She is not a good worker, and the fans are all painted. I drew a lot in the past few days, and finally picked out six. respectively to mother, Zhang, Ding, Zhong, Sanniang and Wuniang.

After entering the main house, I unexpectedly saw Xu Qian, who was sitting next to Lu Shi with low eyebrows, with several fans in front of him, all of which were very exquisite, and he had obviously been preparing for a long time.

Seeing Xu Qian, her eyes immediately changed, she turned her head to look at July, and July shook her head to say that she didn't know.

"Fourth sister came early today, why didn't she sit next to her grandmother?" Xu Yu looked around Xu Qian's body and found that she had lost some weight, and her chin was as sharp as an awl, and she felt a sense of pity.

Lu Shi seemed to feel the unhappiness of the promise and explained: "Your grandmother hasn't seen Siniang for a few days, and I saw Siniang's grandmother this morning, thinking that many of her people have never been lively, today is the last day of the Dragon Boat Festival, so I urged her to come over, and you can see if this dress is appropriate?"

The Lu family could vaguely feel Xu Promise's hostility towards Xu Qian, and deliberately brokered in the hope that the relationship between the two could be eased.

didn't expect her explanation to be harsh in Xu Qian's ears. The mother actually explained to the promise that in just a few months, the status of the promise in the mother's heart was already higher than hers?

Xu Yu glanced at Xu Qian, who was wearing a white skirt and blue skirt, and said, "Very good, I should inherit the temperament of the fourth sister." "The temperament of the White Lotus.

Xu Qian nodded slightly, as if there was no unhappiness in her heart, and said with a smile: "Thank you Liuniang, you are also very good in this dress." ”

At noon, Xu Guyu and Xu Gucheng rushed back one after another, and the family shared lunch.

Offerings and food are placed in red boxes, offered with tea and wine, and are placed outside the gate, and after lunch, all the people of the Xu family perform sacrifices together.

At the beginning, the Xu family took a car to the Ye family's courtyard in the south.

The Dragon Boat Festival is the natal day of the horse, and the horses pulling the cart are decorated with the saddle bridle of rare treasures, and the mane and tail of the horse are decorated with colorful colors, which is very beautiful.

Everywhere the carriage passes, you can feel the enthusiasm of the festival. When passing through the downtown area, there were vendors selling fans on both sides, and the traffic was busy, and the Xu family took a detour to barely get to the other courtyard on time.

There are no elaborate verandahs and buildings, but there is a large horse farm where men throw pots, shoot willows, and bow down, while women chat, drink tea, and give each other fans. (To be continued)
