Chapter 243: The Deep Palace Begs for a Wish
In the blink of an eye, the Daughter's Day of the Great Qi Kingdom is coming. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
As the most important boudoir festival of the year, the girls in the deep palace attach great importance to this day. Coincidentally, the weather on this year's Daughter's Day was surprisingly clear, with a blue sky, and there was not even a single cloud to be seen.
Early in the morning, when I was dressing up Yunyang, I could hear Yu Lu and Sui Su muttering beside him: "I will definitely be able to see the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl tonight, and I will definitely be able to do it." ”
"If the weather is good, you don't have to wait for the evening, you will put on the incense case and throw the needle, and the flower shadow can be seen clearly. Don't be like last year, I obviously lost the needle like an orchid, but you didn't say it was a mallet, so I felt clumsy every time I embroidered this year, and I was pricked with needles a few times. ”
"Hehe, the weather is good, pick the color line, if you lose, you have to invite me to eat Qiaoguo."
"What is Qiaoguo, if I lose to you this year, I will catch you a spider for three years."
"It's a deal!"
"Four horses are hard to chase!"
Yun Yang was holding a tortoiseshell beaded red coral stone wisp of Huasheng in his hand, and when he heard what they said, he couldn't help but feel like he wanted to go to the courtyard to see what new tricks these girls were playing this year.
Walking out of the hall, Yunyang saw that the palace people had arranged the courtyard for the Daughter's Day. A strip of wenge wrapped in hollow carved copper is placed in the middle of the courtyard.
On the table is a copper basin filled with water, a red lacquer tray with colorful silk threads and a handful of silver needles, and a box with a gourd pattern carved from eggplant incense wood.
On both sides of the table, there is a row of square tables with green lacquer, on which are placed seasonal fresh fruits and five-color melon kernels, as well as newly made three-color dim sum from the smelting workshop.
Behind the square table is a mahogany high-backed hoop chair with soft satin cushions. The flowers and trees in the shallow apple island have been hung by the palace maids to beg for the brocade horses, cloth pomegranates and silk sachets, for a time the ribbons fluttering, the fragrance of the wind gusting.
Everyone served Yunyang and sat down in the first seat, and Sui Su took a duck egg green Shu brocade half-arm and put it on for her. Here Yu Lu has picked up the seven embroidery needles on the red paint tray and put them in a row, and put them in the hands of Pu Xia, who held a silk thread in one hand and the seven silver needles in the other, aligned the eye of the needle, looked at it carefully, and passed it all at once.
The crowd watched and praised one after another. Sui Su didn't go as smoothly as Pai Xia when he wore the needle, and he didn't try it twice, and his face turned red for a while. Shi and Gui'er, the little eunuchs, coaxed beside them again, making her unable to get off the stage.
Yin Lu stepped forward and dragged her aside, handed her a cup of fruit honey tea and said, "Don't worry, settle down first." After a while, when you lose the clever needle, you can cast the flower shadow. Sui Yun listened and nodded silently.
Here, orange pomegranate and purple sunflower are throwing clever needles around the copper basin. The so-called throwing needle is to put a basin of water in the sun to expose to the sun, dry a layer of film, and then gently put the embroidery needle on the film.
Let it float on the surface of the water, look at the shadow shape of the embroidery needle at the bottom of the basin through the membrane on the water surface, if the shadow is like a flower, there are many changes, it is the best, it can be said that the woman who throws the needle will be the most skillful person in the coming year. If it is shaped like a mallet, it means that the person who throws the needle is clumsy and clumsy, and it will be difficult to do skillful work in the coming year.
After throwing the needles, the orange pomegranate and purple sunflower gathered around the pot to observe. The two talked quietly, laughing and then quiet.
After drinking the tea, I went to the copper basin to take a look, and saw that the clever needles of the orange pomegranate showed a shadow like a bamboo, and the shadow of the clever needles of the purple sunflower was even more like a hosta flower.
He said casually: "It's all so powerful, if I don't look good like last year, wouldn't it be even more embarrassing." So Sui Wan bypassed the copper basin and went straight to the box of eggplant fragrant wood.
Yin Lu was guarding the box, and when he saw Sui Su coming, he smiled and handed her a tray: "Please!" ”
On the tray are the five-color glutinous rice dumplings newly made by the smelting mill this morning. Sui Yun picked up a small willow blue ball and said: "I can't compare to you in the first two, so it's better to come to the group first." ”
Group luck is a recent way of playing for court women. It is to put many round five-colored pearls of general size in a small wooden box, and the girl takes a glutinous rice dumpling and puts it in the small wooden box and rolls it.
Then take out the glutinous rice dumplings and see how many pearls are stuck on them. According to the number and color of the pearls on the glutinous rice dumplings, the girl's luck in the coming year is calculated.
Sui Wan closed his eyes and threw the glutinous rice dumplings into the box, and the dumplings rolled a few times and stopped. Drink Green said: "Pick it up and take a look!" As he spoke, he handed her a lottery.
Sui Su picked up the glutinous rice dumplings, looked at the color sticks again and again, and said in disappointment: "Why is it so unsmooth." ”
Drinking green asked curiously: "What's wrong?" Let's hear it. ”
Sui Xuan pointed to the glutinous rice dumplings and said, "Look, there are six white pearls and two black pearls on it. White pearl is safe and secure, rare promotion, and six is long-term. ”
"Black Pearl is overthinking and overworking. The second is the meaning of the mirror, what kind of hexagram do you say, it is clearly to add blockage! ”
Everyone thought it was funny when they saw Sui Su stomping his feet there with a look of chagrin. Drinking green said on the side: "I think it's very good, the six white pearls are all safe and secure, and the effect of the two black pearls can be completely invisible." ”
Sui Yu muttered in a low voice, "What's the use of being safe and secure?" Wouldn't it be for nothing that you couldn't get promoted? ”
Shi also comforted her and said, "Don't be afraid, Miss Sui, when I go to catch spiders with the pot in a while, I will leave the biggest belly and the most silky silk to you." ”
Sui Xuan glanced at him and said, "Which one wants your spider?" The spiders used in the formation of clever spiders have to be caught by themselves, otherwise they will not work. ”
"Besides, the spiders you catch must be like you, the spiders caught in the pot love to sleep and nap the most, and the stones can only slip and shoot horses, which spider dares to use such a spider?"
The pot was a little annoyed when he heard this, and said angrily: "Which of you sees that I love to sleep and nap?" ”
The stone patted him on the shoulder, signaling that he didn't have to move, turned his head and said to Sui Su with a smile: "The girl is so strong, then go and try it yourself." ”
"This year, the palace bureau is afraid that the insects will disturb the mothers of the halls, so they have put insect repellent medicine everywhere since mid-spring, and they also send more than a dozen little eunuchs to exterminate insects everywhere every day, whether it is grasshoppers, spiders, silk niang, mosquitoes, flies, crickets, and the king of golden armor is not left. Unless you beg me, a climber, to go to the top of the tree and catch a few for you, the girl won't have any spiders to use this year. ”
Sui Yun thought for a while and said, "If you don't believe in this evil, I'll catch a few for you!" ”
The stone still had a confident expression on his face, as if to say, "Sooner or later, you will come to beg me." ”
Yun Yang watched the two of them talk seriously, and after a moment, Yun Yang said to Sui Yun: "There are no spiders here, but this palace knows where there must be." ”
