On the fifth day of the fifth month of May every year, the five festivals are weighed, which is also a big festival in Zhuxi.

Today is the fifth day of the fifth month of the fifth month, and the farmers on the Zhuangzi have already picked a lot of calamus and moxa sticks and inserted them in the lintel.

In order to meet the situation, Ping'er and Caiwei also went to the field to pick a lot of calamus, almost to fill the entire yard, saying that this can refresh the mind, strengthen the bones and eliminate stagnation, and more importantly, can live a long life.

Qiu Ci also let them mess around, anyway, it was just a festival, and everyone was happier than anything else.

The mother-in-law in the kitchen also made a kind of coarse small mugwort cake out of wormwood, which was offered to Qiu Ci as if it were a treasure.

"After eating the little moxa cake, I will be backgammon in the coming year." The mother-in-law said this, this is a proverb in Zhuxi, you should eat small mugwort cake on the fifth day of the fifth month of May.

Qiu Ci was divided into a few maids to eat together, and she also said with a smile, "You can grow taller by eating." ”

Ping'er was very happy, smacked her mouth, and ate one after another, "Why doesn't Miss go to the town to take a look, the town is lively." ”

The festival is celebrated for three days, starting from the third day of the fifth month and continuing until the fifth day of the fifth month, which is said to drive away the evil luck of the year and also to celebrate the whole year.

Today is already the fifth day of the fifth month of May, that is, the third day, if you don't go today, you can only wait until next year's heavy fifth festival.

During these three days, the town will be very lively.

As for how lively, I haven't seen the autumn words, but I heard the people in Zhuangzi say that the liveliness of the Chongwu Festival is comparable to the Lantern Festival on August 15.

Both grand and warm.

Qiu Ci wasn't very interested, but her maids wanted to go.

After all, she is still a little girl, and she is not very old, she is the age when she loves to join in the fun, and she has been in Zhuangzi for such a long time, and it is quite boring to be trapped in Zhuangzi all day.

"Do you want to go?" Qiu Ci asked Ping'er with a smile.

Ping'er's eyes were shining, and her head was like a chicken pecking rice, constantly lit.

She wanted to go, she really wanted to go.

Qiu Ci Wan'er, of course she knew that Ping'er wanted to go, although she had lived a new life and was older than all of them, but in fact, she was still a girl in her bones, but any girl would always love to be lively.

"Do you want to go too?" Qiu Ci asked a few other maids.

Cai Wei nodded busily.

Qinglan hesitated for a moment, "There are too many people in the fifth section, if Miss doesn't want to go, then let's not go." ”

Qinglan puts Miss first all the time, if Miss doesn't go, then no matter how much they want to go, they definitely can't go.

Huanxi also said, "The slave listens to Miss." ”

Although she said this, the trace of longing revealed in her eyes could not be concealed.

"Then let's go together." Qiu Ci said with a smile, "Anyway, it's boring for me to stay in Zhuangzi, so it's better to go to the town and have a look." ”

Cai Wei and Ping'er cheered, and Ping'er and Huanxi were also full of joy.

Before going out, when the brother came.

It was Huanxi who went to invite him over.

Miss wants to go out, how can she talk to Wang Zhuangtou, Wang Zhuangtou is worried that Qiu Ci is not familiar with life, so he specially asked Brother Dang to lead the way for them.

After getting along for a period of time, Brother Dang'er and them are also acquaintances, so it's good to let Brother Dang'er lead the way for them.

Huanxi is also doing a great job.

It was Qiu Ci who deliberately asked Qinglan not to go to Wang Zhuangtou, just to see the reaction of these maids.

In the end, only Huanxi thought of this aspect and took the initiative to ask Qinglan.

In fact, this is also within the expectation of autumn words.

Huanxi is delicate, organized, and generous and calm in dealing with people, given time, Qiu Ci believes that she will be another Qinglan.

As for Ping'er and Caiwei, Qiu Ci didn't count on them.

People have strengths, rulers are short, Ping'er and Caiwei have their own strengths, Qinglan and Huanxi also have their own strengths, and Qiu Ci is not forced.

She thought it was good.

If you forcibly reverse their personalities, it will not be beautiful.

Although it was already the third day, the flow of people in the town continued unabated.

The streets are lined with small stalls, all kinds of gadgets are placed on the stalls, these things are not very special, they are the rouge gouache used by ordinary girls, there are also some hairpins and jade hairpins and the like, and there are some things to coax children.

There are also some that sell pastries and sweets, and these things are also sold on weekdays, but on the day of Chongwu, there are more things on the street, and the street is even more crowded and lively.

Crowds of people, cars and horses, and the shouts of vendors rose and fell, and the whole street was filled with a festive atmosphere.

It's still May, early summer has just arrived, the weather is not too hot, and a few people in a group of people are walking and watching, but they also feel lively and novel.

Autumn words also feel quite fresh.

She didn't go shopping in the capital, she came to Zhuxi, and she has been living in Zhuangzi, which can be described as very lonely and unheard, and now she has the opportunity to walk around the town, which is quite good.

"Miss, look, someone has set up a high platform in front, as if there is a drama to watch." Ping'er's eyes were sharp, and he aimed at the high platform in front of him at a glance.

When the brother explained to them, "This is a stage, do you want to go and see it?" ”

Stage?

"It's the red sleeve incense in Beijing, and I came here to sing the play." When the brother said again.

"Red sleeves incense specially Zhuxi came to sing?" Qinglan was surprised, "Their asking price is not low." ”

Red sleeve incense is a well-known opera troupe in the capital, and some dignitaries often invite them to sing in the house, and I heard that the price is quite high.

I didn't expect that in Zhuxi, it was a play where I could listen to red sleeves for free, which was not bad.

Several maids don't know the market very well, and the only one who knows is Qinglan.

"I didn't come here on purpose." When the brother smiled, "It was the Bai family who invited them to come and sing." ”

The Bai family is the largest household in Zhuxi, and it is also a well-known merchant, so I can't say what the specific situation is, but I just know that they are very rich.

"More than half of the shops in Zhuxi are owned by the Bai family, and I heard that the Bai family's money can buy half of the capital." When my brother was also hearsay, he said it to them casually.

Several maids secretly whispered, they could buy half of the capital, how rich should this be!

There were a lot of tourists next to him, and some people heard Brother Dang say this, and they also nodded in agreement.

"The Bai family is rich, but it's a pity, the only son is a fool." Someone sighed.

"That's why the Bai family will do good deeds, and invite this red sleeve incense to sing is also to let us feast our ears." Someone else said.

"No way, they're also praying for that fool."

……

I see, there is a lot of money, but the heir is a fool, and it is really sad enough to be in this feudal slave society where male power is respected.

Qiu Ci also felt sorry for the Bai family.

……………………………………………………

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, I was really busy, not only busy visiting relatives, but also busy burning incense and worshipping Buddha.

I don't know if there are other places where there is such a custom, anyway, I have to go to the temple every year on the Chinese New Year's Eve and the first day of the new year, and then tears and snot flow all over the ground......
