Chapter Twenty-Eight: Qixi Festival, Qiqiao Festival
Asu fled all the way back to his house, patting his chest with his hand, so dangerous, and then talking to Li Hui, I don't know what words I will break out through the times, blame myself for not being good at reading, and taking the doctrine in the wrong place, if she wants to be original, it will be even more blind, and it is estimated that she can only fool today's people with the works of future generations.

"Asu, where are you going early in the morning, I'm so sorry to look for it." Seeing Asu coming back, Aru quickly pushed the door and came in, still holding a box of things in her hand.
It turned out that in the morning A-Niang instructed her to find A-Su to teach her some things to be used tonight, He Erniang wanted to come, A-Su used to follow her father and was afraid that she had not had a Qixi Festival, the first time she came here for the festival, and outsiders would come, so she asked her sister to teach, just know about it.
Seeing Aru, Asu hurriedly sat down and said with a smile, "I'm tired of my sister, I just went to the kitchen to make some tea in the morning, you know, I can't get used to drinking the tea made by Xiaoju and them, by the way, sister, what are you holding in your hand?" ”
Aru also sat on the round stool, put the box in his hand on the table and told Asu, "Today is Tanabata, the girls have to beg, this is the needle, silk thread, and a box to be used, let's go catch Xizi later." ”
I've heard about it with a needlework, but what is it to catch Kiko, and I can't help asking, "Please tell me what Kiko is." Is it a living creature? ”
Aru just pursed her lips and smiled, and didn't answer directly, but said, "I'll see if you can swing the needle and thread first, as for Xizi, you'll know later." After that, he remembered something and told Aso, "Wait a minute, I'll go get another thing." ”
Asu nodded, and began to fiddle with the pile of silk thread color needles brought by Aru, begging Qiao, it is said to beg for wisdom from Vega, no wonder you have to worship Weaver Girl, it seems that it is actually far from the definition of Valentine's Day, look at this needle again, the size is different, hey, why are there so many eyes on some needles, five needle eyes, wow, there are nine needle eyes, the ancients really knew how to play, one is enough to see it, and there are nine.
"Asu, let it go." I saw Aru trembling and brought a basin of water, what is this for, do you still want to wash it?
"Aso, you give it a try, and the needle is placed on the water. The water surface pendulum needle, with many patterns and good patterns, is the most ingenious. Aru nodded and encouraged her to try.
Aso thought to himself, the needle is not metal, and it will sink if it is put on the surface of the water, so he casually picked up a needle and threw it into the water, and sure enough, it sank.
"Ah, that's not the case, you have to take it slowly, Asu, watch me swing." After saying that, Aru got started in person, only to see her carefully, little by little, the first needle was placed, and then the second and third, Asu was stunned, this is playing magic. Seeing that Aru made a flower with a needle in the water, and then smiled and said to Asu, "Look, this way, it's not difficult, you can also put one, remember to take it slowly." ”
Asu took the needle handed by Aru, and learned to put it down slowly, but who knew that as soon as he touched Aru's needle, it disrupted the placement of the needle, and then Asu's needle sank, and also sank with a few nearby needles, and not long after, more than half of them pulled each other with the needle. "Well, sister, I think it's better to forget this." But I wanted to laugh in my heart, where did I put a needle here, it was like a bowling ball, and I continued to push down the front row.
"Poof, aha. Aso, you're a firecracker. up with needles," Aru said with a smile as she clutched her stomach.
Next, Aru taught Asu to wear the needles with five eyes and nine eyes, which hurt Asu, and his fingers were inevitably pricked several times.
"Okay, let's go catch Xizi, the Xizi caught today, we will put it in the box, and take it out tomorrow to see whose net is the most densely woven." Aru said as she handed Aso a box, holding one herself.
Wait a while, weaving webs, could it be that Kiko is a spider? A row of black lines fell from Aso's head, "Sister, aren't we going to catch spiders with our hands?" ”
"Correct, it's not a spider, it's a spider, there's a little stick in the box, you can use that, but you can't kill the spider. Let's go, let's go to the garden, in July, in the garden grass, this is indispensable. As he spoke, he pulled Asu, who had begun to grow hair in his heart, to the garden, and Asu shouted in his heart, the ancients really had a heavy taste, playing with spiders, where is this Qixi Festival hooked up with romance.
The garden in July is lush and green, with lush flowers and plants, a lot of small birds and insects, and endless calls of insects and birds. The two flowering girls leaned over in this lively and lush garden to catch spiders, and Aso felt that the scenery was terrible when he thought about it, and it seemed a little more elegant to catch rabbits.
Aru saw that practice makes perfect, and told Asu about his experience: "Look for the kind of smaller, flexible spiders, too big to build a web in the box, too moving will be too lazy, and the woven web is too thin and not good-looking." Asu listened, sweating in his heart, the spider web has to be judged as beautiful and ugly, it is really not easy for the spider.
Seeing my sister so serious, I can only look for it, this is summer, the two of them have been busy for a while, and they are sweating, and they finally found the little spider, and the time is almost noon, after a morning of tossing, Asu is tired enough. And He Erniang has been intimate enough to prepare hot water and fragrant bath beans for the two sisters to bathe, because on the day of worshipping the Weaver Girl, the girls and women who participate in the worship have to bathe and change their clothes to show their attention.
Aso comfortably bathed in the barrel while playing with the bath beans in his hand, and his mind began to diverge and wander. Looking at these bath beans, Aso also felt unaccustomed to using them at first, because they didn't come out with rich foam, the raw material of bath beans is generally soybean powder, and various spices and skin care herbs are added to it, which can be used to take a bath and wash your face, which has the comprehensive effect of facial cleanser and shower gel.
I heard that there is a joke here, it is said that there was a person who went to the house of a rich relative as a guest in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and the other party invited him to take a bath, which is similar to the modern sauna, he estimated that the first time he used this bath, the maid brought a basin of bath beans, he drank it all without saying a word, and praised the taste was good, and laughed at many people.
Thinking of this incense again, the Tang Dynasty was really a popular era of incense, it is needless to say that wearing incense sachets is naturally not to mention, as well as lighting incense and burning incense everywhere, and some aristocratic families will chew incense like chewing gum before going out, so that they can smell fragrant when they speak.
Everyone is accustomed to using their favorite incense often, such as Fugu Coral, An Jiuniang wears a sachet that seems to be the smell of musk frankincense, and the aftertaste is faint, while Mrs. Wang and A Ru are the fragrance of flowers and herbs such as herbs and angelica, and the smell is light. Thinking of this, Aso remembered that someone also had a good smell on him, so he quickly shook his head, knocked his head, what did he think, quickly ended his fugue and took a good bath.
