Chapter 20: Duanyang Festival (2)
Master never drank alcohol, but he didn't forbid his brothers to drink alcohol.
On this day, the master replaced the wine with tea and drank with the senior brothers for a while, and I secretly took a sip while they were not paying attention.
On the stone table in the center of the pavilion, there is a small point, what plum blossom cake, ruyi cake, auspicious fruit, chanterelle roll, rhombic flour cake, snowflake candy.
The master chewed a piece of candy, sat aside, and watched with a smile as the brothers fought wine.
Senior Brother Ten quietly left the table and pulled me aside: "Little Senior Sister, your father and eldest brother are not around, and there are some things that no one has done for you, but what we can think of will definitely not be missing you." ”
As he spoke, he took my right hand and put a bracelet on my wrist.
When I was at home, I read the wild history playbook, and most of the talented and beautiful women were married with gold locks, jade pendants, handkerchiefs, silk and various small things, these ten senior brothers...... Senior Brother Ten can't have a personal affair with me and want to make a private deal with me for life, right? I was shocked.
"This is called longevity, sister-in-law Zhang told us that if we tie this thread, we can live a long and safe life." Senior Brother Ten hurriedly explained, "A few days ago, I placed an order in the Jubao Silver Building at the bottom of the mountain, and they only sent it after the end of the mountain yesterday, and I am afraid that I will not be able to catch up......
A delicate jasper lock fell on the red knot, and the knot was so red and warm that it touched my heart, and the tears finally fell uncontrollably.
When Senior Brother Ten saw me crying, he was at a loss.
I sat on the railing by the lake, wiping away my tears for a while, and after a while, I realized that the pavilion was much empty, and only me, Senior Brother Shi, and Master were left.
However, the lake was lively, and all the senior brothers drove a small boat and raced the boat.
The eleventh senior brother's white robe is very eye-catching on Jingshui Lake, alas, what a beautiful young man, why is he dressed so plainly? Look at Senior Brother Jiu, dressed in a robe full of bells and whistles, how festive and cheerful!
"Little junior sister, we have lotus flowers blooming all year round in this mirror lake, Xiaobai came the year before last, and we all fell asleep at night, took a boat, and cut the lotus flowers all over the place, the master was going to punish him, but he said that he was going to make lotus leaf soup for us...... "Idle and bored, Senior Brother Ten automatically and spontaneously told me gossip.
"We haven't seen this lotus leaf soup, but our master is the most compassionate person." The tenth senior brother paused, and secretly glanced at the master who was sitting on the side.
Master was smiling and looking at the lively lake, as if he hadn't heard the words of Senior Brother Shi.
The tenth senior brother was sure of his mind and continued: "When the master saw that he had just arrived, and he had filial piety, he punished him for copying the Analects three times, and this matter is considered to be in the past. Later, the seventh senior brother and the eighth senior brother replanted a new lotus, but the lotus leaf will grow out, and let this Xiaobai to pull out, at that time, Xiaobai and we are all familiar, and finally told the truth, he said, he boated on this lake at night, this lotus always blocked his boat......"
"Since then, there have been no lotus flowers planted in Jingshui Lake, I'm afraid that this Xiaobai won't be able to sleep one night, and he will go boating again......"
"Master handed you over to Xiaobai, we are thousands of people who are not at ease, this master doesn't know if he is old and confused or how to ......" Senior Brother Ten said cheerfully, but he didn't see Master's hand holding the auspicious fruit trembling slightly.
At dinner, Master said kindly, "The lotus pod sent from the mountain today is very fragrant, and if you can eat a bowl of lotus seed porridge for breakfast, you will be refreshed all day." ”
The master put down the chopsticks and looked at Senior Brother Ten with a smile, "Little Shi'er, this work of peeling lotus seeds will be handed over to you, and tomorrow will be waiting for your lotus seed porridge for the teacher in the morning." ”
Senior Brother Ten held his chopsticks and was dumbfounded.
Alas, the master did hear it......
Peeling lotus seeds is a time-consuming and laborious job, my master is really a master, killing people without seeing blood, I admire it very much!
Duanyang this night, no dreams, I slept very well.
