Back in Hanjiang County, Uncle Qian put down Wen Jing and waved the horsewhip in his hand to leave.

For some reason, Wen Jing always felt that this old man with unique skills didn't like her, and even a little disgusted, which made her quite puzzled, and she didn't know that she had offended people once upon a time without knowing it, but she never cared too much about what others thought, so she decided not to delve into it.

Hearing the news of Qi Niang's return, Wen Qiran, who was waiting for dinner, immediately got up and walked out, his face was full of surprise, Qi Niang went to Yangzhou Mansion for many days, there was no news, and he was worried for a few days.

"Qi Niang, is this going smoothly?" Wen Qiran twisted his long hair, his eyes full of concern.

"Back to my father, there are a few twists and turns." Wen Jing bowed and said, "Later, I will talk to my father in detail, and my daughter will bathe and change her clothes first." ”

"Let's go quickly."

Only then did Master Wen notice Wen Jing's sweaty forehead, so he smiled and moved out of the way, while instructing the kitchen, "Slow down and prepare food." ”

Wen Wuniang and Banniang glanced at each other, and they also had an unbelievable look on their faces, when did their father, who has always been serious, become so amiable? Or is he only doing this to Qi Niang? In the past, my father only had such a look in his eyes when he was facing Shiro.

After a while, a table of sumptuous wine and food had been prepared in the dining room, but Master Wen only cared about closing his eyes and recuperating, he did not move the chopsticks, and the others naturally did not dare to move, Shilang was young, and he used a small piece of pastry from early in the morning until this moment, and his stomach was already hungry, his eyes stared straight at the delicacies on the table, and he couldn't take his eyes off, and he swallowed his saliva while secretly thinking, Seventh Sister, come back quickly, you will start the meal when you come back.

Master Wen glanced at Shilang and said lightly: "Wait a little longer." ”

Father does this, must be waiting for Qi Niang, Wen Wu Niang knows that she is not hungry, but she feels that her father's ** love for Qi Niang is too much, she is naturally a little dissatisfied, although Wen Qi Niang is a concubine, it is reasonable to get more ** love, but what she is uncomfortable in her heart is that her father used to treat everyone equally, and she has only been in Hanjiang County for a few months, and her father treats her as a baby, and still ignores the other sisters, and she can't help but be a little resentful at the moment: "The food is cold, and it won't taste bad when you eat it later." ”

"It's cold and hot." Master Wen said lightly, not angry.

Wen Wuniang flattened her mouth and didn't dare to speak again.

Wen Banniang was silent, Sanniang buried her head in the city from beginning to end, without saying a word, she had to return to her parents' house because she had nothing to do, and she was divorced by her husband's family, for fear of being disliked, she only locked herself in the house every day to be a female celebrity, except for when eating, she was rarely seen.

At this time, Wen Jing just rushed over, looked at this scene, and said, "Let my father and sisters wait for a long time, Qi Niang is uneasy. ”

"It's okay, the family should be like this, move the chopsticks." Master Wen said, scooped up a small bowl of soup and tasted it, frowned and said, "Mother Wu, take it and heat it up." ”

Wen Wuniang didn't dare to talk much, but she complained more and more about Qi Niang in her heart.

Wen Jing never thought that Wen Qiran would wait for her to eat together, she didn't feel warm in her heart, she hadn't felt the feeling of home for many years, if she hadn't taken a bath and changed her clothes for two days, she wouldn't have rushed to bathe and change clothes knowing the meal time, she thought that after they finished eating, she just ate a little at will.

……

After finishing the meal, Wen Shilang pulled Wen Jing to the courtyard, stretched out his hands and put them in front of him, and looked at Wen Jing expectantly.

Wen Jing looked at Shiro suspiciously, and randomly understood that this younger brother was asking her for a gift.

"Seventh sister, you didn't bring Shiro anything delicious!" Wen Shilang said with a bun face, as if he had been looking forward to it for a long time, but found that Wen Jing hadn't even brought him a sugar gourd.

Wen Jing smiled bitterly, how could she have time to go shopping: "Shilang, what do you want to eat, let's go out in the afternoon to buy it, okay?" ”

Wen Shilang still didn't smile, but his expression was much slackened: "Okay, forgive you this time." ”

Wen Jing pinched Wen Shilang's face.

"Seventh sister, let's make Qiao Cake!" Wen Banniang walked over in a hurry.

Crispy? Wen Jing tried hard to recall this kind of food, and replied, "Okay." ”

"Juro is going too!" Wen Shilang followed the two into the kitchen in a hurry, still forgetting what he was still angry about the last moment.

Wu Ma and Qingshuang were already kneading the dough.

"Tomorrow is the Begging Festival, although this time is different from the past, but we can't lose the festive atmosphere, and we can do everything we can." Wu's mother said kindly.

Qingshuang nodded and said with a smile: "This is a lifelong event related to the daughter's family in the whole world, and there are five little ladies in our family who have not yet left the cabinet, which is a top priority." ”

"I think it's your little hooves who want to get married." Wu's mother quipped.

Qingshuang's face turned red to the root of her ears, and she said ashamedly and angrily: "Mother Wu, what are you doing to make fun of me for no reason, I just want to be able to serve my mother for the rest of my life." ”

Wen Jing also took a piece of noodles and kneaded it, Wu Ma had already kneaded the dough in her hand into long strips, then cut it into small pieces with a knife, rolled it in the sesame seeds and threw it into the oil pot, and suddenly a burnt fragrance came to her nose.

After a while, when she saw that the color had turned golden, Wu Ma scooped it up with a colander and put it on a plate, and Shiro couldn't wait to reach over and take it.

was beaten on the hand by Wen Banniang: "Glutton, be careful of scalding blisters!" ”

Shilang's mouth suddenly arched high, his eyes were still staring at the fragrant Qiao Crisp Fruit that had just come out of the pot, and he swallowed his saliva.

It turns out that this is Qiao Crisp, which is similar to the modern traditional pastry, and the ancient Qixi Festival is much grander than the modern one.

There was a sudden noise in the courtyard, and a few people went out to take a look, and it turned out that a few officials came with bamboo and hemp ropes, and they put down their things and were busy in the courtyard.

As soon as Wen Jing asked what was the matter, the official said with a shy smile that the begging festival was related to the lifelong event of his daughter's family, and he should not be careless, and the magistrate specially sent a few of them to help the little ladies build a colorful building.

Wen Wuniang did not hide the joy in her eyes: "This Lord Su is honest and careful. ”

Wen Banniang glanced at her, and said in her heart, this is not specially for you, as for the mouth to the root of the ear.

Several officials set up the color building with all hands and feet, until they were tired and sweaty, this color building is not high or low, there are seven floors, after the Wen family cut the color paper paste on it, it looks much better.

Regardless of the wealth or poverty of the whole Hanjiang County, every family has built a color building, these color buildings are of different sizes, and the style is endless, but the standard is unique, that is, it is to be tall and gorgeous, some of the rich families have built a Huagong Pavilion that is more than five zhang high, and those who are poor have built a greenhouse, which can be regarded as dealing with the past.

At this time, the sun has set, and the entire color building is shrouded in a golden light, which is very beautiful.
