Chapter 41: Qiaoguo
One of the customs of Qixi Festival is to worship the Weaver Girl, and the relationship is to haode women get together, set up a table under the moonlight, and put tea, wine, fruits, five sons (longan, red dates, hazelnuts, peanuts, melon seeds) and other offerings on the table, and a few flowers, bundle red paper, insert it in a bottle, and put a small incense burner in front of the flower.
The women who made an appointment to worship the Weaver Girl fasted for a day, bathed and changed their clothes, came to the host's house on time, burned incense in front of the desk, and after worshipping, sat together, prayed silently to the Weaver Girl in front of the moon, made a wish, and then divided the offerings to eat, and played until midnight.
With the development of the times, the form of worshipping the Weaver Girl has become more and more flexible and relaxed, and now, there is generally no need to fast and bathe and change clothes, and the time can be on the night of Qixi Festival, or the night before, or even two nights, and it is not necessary to arrange a ceremony or under the moonlight.
This is mainly a good time for acquaintances to get together and have fun, and of course, don't forget to make a wish.
In addition, there is a conventional rule, which is also the key to Qixi being called "Oriental Valentine's Day".
The day before the Chinese Valentine's Day, the woman either buys or makes a hand to give to the man, usually speaking, the buy means friendship, and the hand is the natal to express love, after the natal fruit is sent, if the man accepts the affection, he will eat the fruit and invite the woman to date on the day of the Tanabata Festival.
Of course, if the parties are an established couple or simply a loving couple, there is no such trouble, although it is not excluded that someone deliberately pursues romance.
After Jiang Li's parents saw Jiang Li come back safely, they went out directly and spent the night together, leaving him and a room of ...... Girlish.
This is a premeditated plan, they have already agreed to meet here tonight, even Shu Yutong is an insider, he is in the dark alone, Shui Mengying agreed, not caring about his embarrassing situation as a son.
What do you say you are a big man mixed with a group of girls?
Jiang Li swept the people in front of him one by one, Zhang Nara, Shu Yutong, Tang Shishi, Ai Wenjing and Ye Chen, and three little girls, Jiang Li's sister Jiang Shui Ripple, Li Wanrong's daughter Zhou Mengyan, and Zheng Xiaohua's sister Zheng Xiaofei, since that beach party, the three of them have become good friends.
Just when he was thinking about whether to say that the night was good tonight or something else, Zhou Mengyan took the lead and handed Jiang Li a heart-shaped brocade box, and said solemnly: "Brother Jiang Li, this is a clever fruit made by Mengyan herself, and I will give it to you, although it is my destiny, my mother said that I can't fall in love early, so I ...... Now it's just a simple gift. ”
Mengyan lowered her head shyly.
Don't get me wrong!
Jiang Li took the box with a smile and said gently, "Xiexie." ”
Then Zheng Xiaofei was not to be outdone and gave her gift, and after being picked up by Jiang Li, she ran away screaming.
Jiang Li couldn't cry or laugh, just when he thought it was his turn to ripple, but found that the other party was gone, hey, what's the matter?
"Big sister Kong, Ripples went to the toilet, can't you wait?" asked Tang Shishi with a smile, holding a rectangular box in both hands.
Jiang Li automatically ignored the other party's address to him, and swallowed his saliva, how many clever fruits do you have to pretend to be so big.
Tang Shishi seemed to know what Jiang was thinking, and when he opened the box in public, he saw that the twelve clever fruits were neatly arranged, just together with the twelve zodiac signs, lifelike and exquisite.
"Could it be that this is the reason why she has been elusive these days?" Jiang Wei said secretly, really moved, took the box with both hands, and bowed deeply.
"Thank you so much!"
"Thank you for being a big-headed ghost!" Tang Shishi was very dissatisfied with Jiang Li's formulaic reaction, and said, "There is a zodiac coincidence made by the teacher, guess what?"
Yutong Jiang Li was secretly surprised, and quickly took a closer look, and soon found a clue, because one of them had a different style.
Compared with other fruits, it is not delicate enough, but it is full of spirituality, very cute, and has a cute feeling.
"It's this cute tiger!" Jiang Li said decisively.
"Uh...... Meng Hu?Oh, this tiger, congratulations on your stupid departure, you answered correctly," Tang Shishi smiled, "This is made by the teacher by hand, and it doesn't even use the mold, in fact, I want to do it too, but I have tried many times, and it is still ...... It didn't work out. ”
If you don't succeed, you won't take it out to show ugliness, pursue perfection, and present the most haode side to the person who wants to be seen the most, this is the philosophy of Tang Shishi.
"Anyway, the heart is the most important, I received it here, xiexie you, poetry, also xiexie you, Yutong...... Teacher. I almost forgot to call "teacher" when I shouted so smoothly.
"It's strange to receive it!" Tang Shishi muttered, turned around and walked away, what a wooden nerd, I'm afraid I don't know what kind of mind is contained in this, or pretend to be confused?
Next, they are Ye Chen, Ai Wenjing and Zhang Nara, Ye Chen made a leaf-shaped fruit, Ai Wenjing is a bird that is about to fly, and Zhang Nara is actually a human-shaped fruit, and that person is clearly Jiang Li!
It is impossible to have a mold for this kind of skillful fruit, and it is the only one in the world.
Jiang Li's fingertips crossed the vivid face of "Little Jiang Li", and his heartstrings fluttered slightly, which is not only something that can be done by ingenuity, but also because the maker is extremely familiar with him, so familiar that he can recall it when he closes his eyes!
"Nora......
Before Jiang Li could say anything, Zhang Nara had already gone to the balcony with the women, and Shui Mengying had already prepared the things, the sacrificial incense burner and other objects were all available on the table.
A bend of the moon rushed out of the sea of clouds, throwing the bright moonlight, under the glow of the city lights, like a dream.
The girls bowed three times, knelt on the ground, closed their eyes facing the moon, and secretly made a wish, only Yu Jiangli was embarrassed in the living room, and his arms were full of clever fruits.
"This ...... Can you finish eating?" Jiang Li said with a wry smile.
After that, there was nothing to do with Jiang Li, the three of Ripple and the five of Nala gathered together, chatting while eating sacrifices, and laughing and laughing.
Poor Jiang Li, lonely and lonely in the room to write the script, and had to put on headphones, when the script was written, he looked at the clock, it turned out to be more than ten o'clock in the evening, and the party outside seemed to have no signs of stopping.
"It's rare to get together ......"
Jiang Qian moved, and called all five people in Nala, they were very surprised, what kind of rhythm is this? One, two, three, four, five, go up the mountain to fight tigers?
As a result, Jiang Li cleared his throat and talked about his vision for the next record.
When he finished speaking in one breath, the room was silent.
It wasn't until Tang Shishi broke the tranquility, bowed ninety degrees, and said seriously: "Silly Li, although I always thought you were a fool, but it wasn't until this moment that I realized that I was really wrong, very wrong, I'm sorry!"
Jiang Li thought that the other party was amazed by his whimsy, so he overturned the conclusion of the "fool", but he was a little embarrassed.
Unexpectedly, she continued: "It turns out that you are a super big fool!"
"Uh......" Jiang Li was dumbfounded.
After a while, several people left Jiang Li's room, they had no objection to his idea, but for him, they seemed to have quite an opinion, Ai Wenjing said that he would go back and study it well and formulate a detailed record production Jihua came out.
This party also ended because of Jiang Li's episode, and everyone left happily, and agreed to go shopping together tomorrow.
"Did I do something wrong?" Jiang Li asked the other party as he cleaned the living room with Ripples.
"Whether my brother is wrong or not, doesn't their zuihou expression tell you the answer?" Ripple asked rhetorically.
Jiang Li suddenly realized, and secretly laughed at his dead brain, at this moment, the landline rang, and Ripple ran over to answer the phone, "um" a few times, and hung up.
"Is it Mom?"
"Well, Mom said she wouldn't be home tonight. ”
"Uh...... So where does she rest?"
"Mom and Dad went to open the house. ”
"Poof-" Jiang Li just drank all the tea squirted out, no, who drank this tea leftover? He was just thirsty, so he picked it up and drank it casually.
It's really embarrassing, but fortunately only my sister is present now.
After the two of them cleaned up the messy party scene, it was already past eleven o'clock, Jiang Li urged Ripple to sleep, after all, she usually fell asleep at this time, and went to take a bath by herself.
Warm water droplets poured out of the lotus-like sprinkler and sprinkled on his body, washing away the tiredness of the day, Jiang Li hummed a small tune, enjoying himself comfortably, and suddenly, the bathroom door was pushed open.
Jiang Li subconsciously covered his lower body with a hand towel, squinted his eyes, and saw a petite figure standing at the door, with white skin as white as snow, as delicate as ivory, and a delicate body, which had already begun to show the charm of a woman, and in the mist, it was as if an angel had descended into the mortal world.
This angel is none other than his sister!
"Ripples! Slow! That, even if you want to take a bath, you have to wait for my brother to finish washing," Jiang Li stared at the ground, trying not to pay attention to Ripple's naked body, "Give me three minutes, no, just one minute!"
"Cold. Ripple hugged her body tightly and said tremblingly.
Jiang Li was like a cat that had been stepped on by its tail, quickly rushed to Ripples, pulled her in, closed the door, and then turned his back to the other party and said, "Ripples, you go wash first." ”
"I'm going to ...... with my brother"
"Stupid, there is a difference between men and women, even if it is ...... Even if we're brother and sister, I'll go out. ”
Jiang Li just wanted to open the door, but was grabbed by Ripple's little hand, and she said in a low voice: "Brother, don't go out, okay?" Ripple will be afraid, Ripple will listen to you." ”
At eleven o'clock, two more people were at home, Ripple had always been timid, Jiang Li believed the other party's words, nodded and said, "Well, my brother has always been there, don't be afraid." ”
In this way, first the ripples washed, and then to Jiangli, what made him extremely embarrassed was that the ripples kept looking this way when he took a bath, even if he recited it under his order, and soon ......
"Ripples, didn't you say they all listened to me?"
However, Ripples will be afraid if she doesn't see her brother. ”
Jiang Li had no choice but to follow the wishes of the ripples, he wrapped the handkerchief around his waist and scrubbed his body with his hands.
Ripple suddenly plucked up his courage and walked over and said, "Brother, I want to help you wipe your back." ”
"Uh......"
Jiang Li finally agreed, anyway, with his back to the ripples, it was nothing, but when the soft and boneless little hands brought him an indescribable comfortable feeling, he knew that he was wrong.
This time the bath was absolutely thrilling, but fortunately nothing went wrong.
After taking a bath, Jiang Li and Lianyi went to bed together, still the same, he felt as if he had lost something, and just when he was about to fall asleep in a daze, suddenly, a familiar singing voice sounded.
"I don't remember how long it was that I haven't heard you again, and I told me about you, my favorite story......"
Ripple suddenly opened his eyes, shining as bright as the stars in the night sky.
23:59!
More than a dozen fireworks heralding the arrival of Qixi Festival rose from the People's Square in Jiangcheng, erecting a fireworks bridge over the city, this bridge, even if the Milky Way moat, can not be stopped!
