Of course, having said so much, the Daughter's Festival mentioned in the Spring and Autumn Period is not the well-known Mid-Autumn Festival in later generations, but the Qiqiao Festival on the seventh day of the seventh month of July.

Qixi Qiaoqiao, this festival first originated in the Han Dynasty, Ge Hong's "Xijing Miscellaneous Records" of the Eastern Jin Dynasty has a record of "Han Cai women often wear seven-hole needles in the cardigan on July 7, and people are accustomed to it", which is the earliest record of Qiqiao that we have seen in ancient documents.

At the same time, because of the beautiful love story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, every seventh day of the seventh lunar month, according to legend, on the day when the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl meet at the bridge, the girls will beg God to make them as ingenious as the Weaver Girl, and pray that they can have a happy marriage, thus forming the Qixi Festival.

And a few days ago in the study, her second brother Yang Chunming said that the Daughter's Day is an extension of the Qiqiao Festival.

Every festival, the county will be very lively inside and outside, Spring and Autumn have already made an appointment with Yang Chunming to go out together that day, and even the clothes she wants to wear that day have been prepared, just waiting for the day to change into new clothes and go out to play.

There are many customs during the Qixi Festival, such as what is the needle begging, the spider should be skillful, the needle is skillful, the seed is born and begging, the "grinding and drinking" is enshrined, the Weaver Girl is worshipped, the Kuixing is worshipped, the book is dried, the clothes are dried, the birthday of the cow is congratulated, the fruit is eaten and so on.

It's just that her mother is not there, and no one cares about Spring and Autumn, and Yang Chunming does not ask for these jobs that require "ingenuity", and Spring and Autumn are happy and comfortable.

On the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, the Qiqiao Festival.

Changed into a flowing pale yellow skirt, with a soft forehead in the spring and autumn, and dressed up with the rouge gouache left by her mother for the first time.

The hair was combed into a high bun, tied with a hairband of the same color, and a delicately made purse was pinned to the waist.

At this time, Yang Chunming and Li Erren had already changed into casual clothes, holding folding fans in their hands, and sat in the pavilion in the courtyard waiting for the spring and autumn.

The two of them held the head of a pair of beautiful sons, so that Chunqiu, who ran out, kept complaining about the two of them after seeing it.

"Second brother, Brother Li Zhou, let's go"

"Oh, Sister Qiu'er's dress like this today is really eye-catching, it makes Sister Qiu'er beautiful and moving, delicate and cute" Li Zhou saw Chunqiu's dress, and directly praised it.

"Giggles, I didn't expect Brother Li Zhou to be so good at talking, Qiu'er can be regarded as seeing it today" Chunqiu covered his mouth and snickered, his eyebrows and eyes curved into a crescent moon.

"Qiu'er's words are not right, I am telling the truth" Li Zhou finished speaking, and winked at Chunqiu, and the funny little appearance made Chunqiu giggle.

The pleasant laughter drifts away in the wind, the boy's voice is clear, and the girl's voice is delicate, and it is a harmonious movement.

Not far away, the sky has been dyed red by bright red clouds, which have turned the whole environment pink.

Chunqiu and Li Zhou teased a few words, and Yang Chunming on the side interrupted with a smile, "Okay, let's go quickly."

Chunqiu responded crisply, then ran to Yang Chunming's side quickly, reached out to hold Yang Chunming's warm and generous palm, raised his head and showed a bright smile to Yang Chunming.

Yang Chunming lowered his head, the palm holding Chunqiu's small hand tightened, and the free palm gently touched Chunqiu's somewhat messy hairband, turned back to Li Zhou behind him and said, "Brother Li, let's go"

After Li Zhou heard this, he opened the folding fan in his hand with a "snap", put one hand behind his back, held the folding fan in the other, and walked behind Yang Chunming's brother and sister in a chic manner.

Turning out of the alley in the backyard of the county government, a wide road appeared in front of me, and most of the shops on both sides of the street had long been closed, and there were still a few scattered buildings left in it.

"Go around the road in front of you, take two steps forward, and we'll be there," Yang Chunming stretched out his finger and pointed to the end of the street, bowing his head and whispering to Chunqiu.

Chunqiu pulled Yang Chunming's palm, and the two "uh-huh" sounds were counted as a response, and the pale yellow hairband in his hair fluttered in the wind, like a butterfly fluttering.

The three of them walked for a while, and the pedestrians on both sides of the street in front of them gradually increased, and the sound of the hawker in their ears became clearer and clearer.

Chunqiu noticed that most of the passers-by were women, and even the veiled women seemed to be carefully dressed, so they simply walked such a short way, and Chunqiu found that there were no less than five women secretly watching her second brother.

Chunqiu tilted his head and looked at his second brother's elegant and handsome face, and his heart would also "plop" to accelerate, no way, the moonlight is too beautiful now, and the young man is even more beautiful.

"At a young age, what are you thinking?"

"Oh, second brother, you pat my head again" Chunqiu covered his little head unhappily and protested as he walked.

"Where is the problem of my start, there are so many people now, why don't you look at the road?" Yang Chunming looked at Chunqiu and said in a serious tone.

"I..." Chunqiu stuck out her tongue, a little weak-hearted, she wasn't addicted to her second brother's beauty and couldn't extricate herself.

Yang Chunming saw that his sister was no longer talking, and he was not reprimanding immediately, and he was instructed to be careful on the way, and Chunqiu absentmindedly said "Uh-huh-ahh

came to the bustling place, Li Zhou did not have the Spring and Autumn together, said to Yang Chunming, made an appointment with the place to meet, and Li Zhou confessed and left directly.

"Second brother, let's go too"

Seeing Li Zhou leave, Chunqiu couldn't wait to pull Yang Chunming away quickly, not far from the two of them was setting up a small stall selling masks, Chunqiu was very curious about the masks placed on the stall, so he kept urging Yang Chunming to go quickly.

dragged Yang Chunming to the stall, Chunqiu let go of Yang Chunming's wrist, his eyes were fixed on the masks of different shapes in front of him, and he touched left and right curiously, "Boss, how do you sell this mask? Eh, this looks good..."

Yang Chunming followed behind Chunqiu, looking at Chunqiu's eyes full of doting.

smiled apologetically at the boss in front of the stall, fortunately, the boss who sold the mask was also a kind old man, and he did not have the slightest impatience for Chunqiu's curiosity, but was very enthusiastic to answer one by one.

In the end, after consulting the boss again, Chunqiu hesitated, but decided to buy two rabbit masks, one for the second brother and one for himself.
