After breakfast, pearls and jadeite began to pick impatiens, put fresh impatiens petals in a porcelain bowl, add some alum to pound, carefully apply the flower juice to the nails, and then wait for the flower juice on the nails to dry slowly, at this time you must be careful and careful, you must not touch it, otherwise you will not be able to dye the beautiful red.

Pearl first helped Luo Yunyao and Jade to paint it, and then asked the little girl to help her paint it, and the three of them stretched out their hands, laughing while waiting for the flower juice to dry.

Mother Wei looked at Luo Yunyao, a smile appeared on her face, and said to Mrs. Luo, "Looking at the girl, the slave and maid remembered that when Madame was in the Wei Mansion, every year on Qixi Festival, Madame was the fastest to thread needles!" ”

Mrs. Luo smiled and shook her head, "It wasn't you who deliberately let me at the beginning, at that time I was only as old as Yao'er, and I was happy all day long, with my father and mother, and my brothers and sisters around me......"

Mrs. Luo sighed when she said this, "Since marrying in the capital, there has been no such happy life as before, and now my father is gone, my mother has been with my eldest brother, and my sister has not seen ...... since she got married."

Mother Wei saw that her words made Mrs. Luo sad, and hurriedly persuaded, "Isn't there a girl in front of Mrs., and the old lady will soon enter Beijing, and the family will be reunited at that time!" ”

Mrs. Luo nodded and smiled again, "Yes, I still have my Yao'er!" It's only my Yao'er! Mrs. Luo thought of her child who had died young, and felt a pang of discomfort in her heart.

Mother Wei looked at Mrs. Luo's face, and continued, "Don't be sad, madam, the slave has already seen it, Madame's raw flower pot is growing very well, Madame's wish will definitely come true!" ”

Mrs. Luo didn't take it seriously, "I'm not young now, but it's just for the occasion!" ”

Luo Yunyao had already heard the words of Mother Wei and Mrs. Luo, and walked over with a smile, "Really? Show me! ”

In the south of Dasheng, there is such a custom during the Qixi Festival, women who want to have children will dip mung beans, adzuki beans or corn in a porcelain bowl a few days before the Qixi Festival, and after a few days, they will grow green shoots, and then tie them into a bunch with red silk threads, which is called 'seeding' or 'shenghuapot'.

If the seeds planted grow luxuriantly, it indicates that they can achieve their wishes, and there is no such custom in the capital, but this year, Wei's mother is here, and a few days early she prepared a 'raw flower pot' for Mrs. Luo.

Mother Wei said with a smile, "I can't look at this now, I have to wait until the moon rises and worship the Weaver Girl, and the lady will also bathe and change her clothes, and give the Weaver Girl a tribute to the five sons, and sincerely pray, so that the Weaver Girl will hear!" ”

Pearls and jadeites have also come over, listening with relish, there are only the customs of dyeing red nails and begging under the moon in the capital, this 'seeding' has really not heard of it, and now I can't help but look forward to it when I hear Wei's mother say this.

Finally waited for the evening, the pearl and the jade had been looking forward to the dark, eager to beat the sun down the west mountain, and then throw the moon into the middle of the sky, but unfortunately the sun did not understand the mood of the pearl jade, still pacing slowly, half of the sun stopped in the west mountain, and the afterglow reflected half of the sky was red.

The sun finally set, the moon rose, today's weather is very good, the blue-black sky is hung with a white and bright crescent, the sky is full of stars, the breeze blows, a few fluttering clouds from time to time block the light of the moon, the flickering night scene is more dreamlike.

Pearl Jade took the little girls to set up a table under the moonlight, and put fruits and five sons on the table, that is, longan, red dates, hazelnuts, peanuts, melon seeds and other sacrifices, Luo Yunyao picked two more budding lotus flowers and inserted them in the bottle, Mother Wei put the porcelain bowl covered with red cloth on the table, Pearl Jade curiously stepped on her feet to look, but only saw the red cloth covered on the porcelain bowl.

Mrs. Luo took Luo Yunyao and the girls to burn incense and worship, and the mothers also folded their hands and prayed sincerely, each praying for their wishes to be fulfilled.

Luo Yunyao is also praying sincerely, only hoping that as Wei's mother said, if her mother can give birth to another younger brother, whether it is for her mother, herself, or even the Luo family, it will be the real change of fate. Men often play a decisive role in the continuation and revitalization of the family.

After worshipping the moon, Mother Wei lifted the red cloth on the porcelain bowl, the mung bean seedlings in the porcelain bowl grew lush and green, tied into a bunch with a red silk thread, Mother Wei smiled and handed it to Mrs. Luo, "Madame, take a look, this mung bean seedling grows so well, Madame's wish must be fulfilled!" ”

The girls and mothers-in-law also joined in the fun, and the funny Mrs. Luo couldn't close her mouth with a smile, "Okay, okay, who made Qiao Niang today, give her a pair of bracelets to make colorful heads!" ”

The little girls clapped their hands happily, and the mothers-in-law also prepared one after another, but how could the old and dizzy mother-in-law compare to the little girl with fast eyes, and in the end, it was Ruixiu next to Mrs. Luo who passed through nine needles in one breath and got a pair of bracelets from Mrs. Luo.

The begging was over, Luo Yunyao followed Mrs. Luo to sit under the grape trellis, quietly looking at the moon in the sky, the girls gathered together to eat the fruit in twos and threes, whispering, and some little girls did not admit defeat and practiced needle threading in the moonlight.

"Morning Glory, Bright River Han Girl. Slender hands, zaza lanes. All day long, sobbing like rain. The river is clear and shallow, how much is it different? Yingying is in the water, and the pulse is silent. ”

Luo Yunyao looked up at the sparse stars in the sky, and chanted in a low voice, the moon was passing through the clouds, the girls' laughter was also low, and there were a few crickets from the flowers next to her.

"What did Yao'er say?" Mrs. Lowe asked, shaking a fan.

"My daughter is so happy today!" Luo Yunyao said as she gently knelt on Mrs. Luo's lap.

Mrs. Luo also looked at the moon in the sky, "Mother is really happy, I really hope that it will be like this for a long time in the future!" ”

Luo Yunyao didn't speak, it will always be such a happy day, can she ask for it?

Midsummer has passed, although the weather is still a little hot, but it can be tolerated, the lotus flowers in the lotus pond are a lot, and the green lotus canopy is like a baby's little fist rising out of the water.

Mrs. Luo has taken Luo Yunyao to live in Zhuangzi for more than a month, and Mrs. Wei's mother has changed her ways to boil all kinds of tonic soup for Mrs. Luo to drink, Mrs. Luo's body has improved a lot, and her originally pale face has gradually brought some blood, which makes Wei's mother very satisfied.

It may be that leaving Luofu has made Mrs. Luo's mood much better, or it may be that the good scenery and simple days in Zhuangzi have made Mrs. Luo feel comfortable, and Luo Yunyao is by her side every day to make herself happy, Mrs. Luo's often tightly knit brows are relaxed, and there is often a smile on her face, and the words gradually increase.
