Chapter 429: Surprise
In the seventh month of the lunar calendar, it is known as Qiaoyue, also known as Lanyue. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
At this time, among the 24 solar terms, the solar term used to reflect temperature changes - the solar term "Chu Xia" has passed, and the word "place" often contains a special meaning of termination, which means that after the heat is over, the scorching heat will end here.
Of course, the common people rely on the sky to eat on the solar terms.
And in this year, the common people do attach great importance to the "beginning of autumn" solar term before the summer heat, as the first solar term of autumn, and also marks the official start of the Mengqiu season, and regards it as an important moment at the turn of summer and autumn.
But in the season, although Sichuan pepper does not understand this year, after the beginning of autumn, whether the climate in the north has gradually cooled, but in her experience, the south often ushers in the autumn tiger, one turn, two turns, and even three turns of Chenguang are not in the minority.
Even if the salient feature of the autumn tiger is only the high temperature exposure in the afternoon for more than two hours, it is quite cool in the morning and evening, but the dry climate not only has the grass and trees gradually withered, but people are also prone to yin and jin depletion, body fluid loss, and dryness.
In this life, I can really step on the ground, the blue sky above my head, and feel the changes of the four seasons of peppercorns, for the word "autumn dryness", I really have deep feelings.
Every time it comes to such a season, the family can't do without rock sugar, lilies, pears and other moist foods. Whatever spice should be cut off,
But on the day of the beginning of autumn this year, a few drops of rain fell very rarely.
However, the peppercorns that are sticking to the autumn fat are not very concerned.
She doesn't remember much about the weather on the day of the "beginning of autumn" in previous years. Has there been any change, such as from sunny to cloudy, for example, from cloudy to sunny, or even sunny, or rainy.
I don't know what that means.
After all, in the minds of peppercorns who have seen too many fickle things, the wind and rain are smooth, and it has long been an ideal realm.
God is a round baby face, and there is no more unreasonable guy in the world.
But the first elders of the family watched God's face change, and soon a drizzle fell from the sky, but they were quite happy.
Only then did Sichuan pepper know that it was the same as Huangmei, and there were many sayings in autumn, even "Shunqiu", "Anti-Autumn", "Autumn Baofu", "Fubao Autumn"......
Although I have never heard of Sichuan pepper, it is all justified.
In the case of Sichuan pepper, the most concerned is "Shunqiu".
Not for the side, just for the word "Shun", the pepper is self-evident, no matter what it should be, it is just in line with the mind.
And resting on the farmer's family, which can be said to rely on the sky for food, at this time, it is the time when all kinds of crops in the field grow vigorously, almost every day.
In addition to the need for the sun, nature also needs the moisture of rain and dew.
It would be great if there was rain every now and then, so that irrigation was not tireless.
I didn't expect that as Sichuan pepper thought, it was for "Shunqiu", which can be said to have only one characteristic, that is, on the day of the beginning of the autumn solar term, the weather turned cloudy, or rained.
Regardless of whether the rain is heavy or not, it can be called "Shunqiu".
It is a proverb for Shunqiu: an autumn rain and a cold.
In other words, in any year with good autumn, autumn will generally be cooler, and it is very likely that the autumn tiger will not have the opportunity to come out to disturb people.
After growing knowledge, I am overjoyed to eat enough peppercorns that suffer from autumn dryness.
And the weather is indeed as the elders said, the autumn tiger that passes once a year is getting cooler day by day.
However, a few days, the Qixi Festival came, peppercorns followed the cloves to carry a small basket, like to pick the delicate flowers and plants they had seen in the morning, suddenly found, or because the weather is neither hot nor cold, the temperature is moderate, even with a dry grass and trees to grow better than in previous years, compared to the previous hot weather Chenguang, but also spirit, water spirit.
And this feeling was even worse when they came to Fang's house as guests.
It's just that it is different from the flowers and plants that grow vigorously in their countryside, and the flowers and trees in the back garden of the Fang family's mountains and rivers seem to be born with a very graceful and rainy Jiangnan, just like the appearance in the painting.
Lotus, Acacia, Crape Myrtle, Jasmine, Yueji, Hibiscus, Warbler, Caryophyllus, Lingxiao, Hosta, Orchid...... It can be described as a good birdsong at will, and the mountain flowers fall naturally.
Whether it is a forest or a solitary branch, whether it is an ancient branch or a new leaf. A corner of the flower tree outside the window, that is, the size of the broken branch; The ancient trees in the mountains are three or five, and the secluded clumps are simulated as dead trees, bamboos and stones.
However, what she didn't expect was that almost all the flowers and trees she saw were recognized by her, that is to say, in the garden of the Fang family, there were not as many exotic flowers and plants as she imagined, and the varieties were not precious.
After taking a closer look, Sichuan pepper realized that these flowers and trees are all winning with attitude.
Moreover, the flowers and plants are not artificially shaped, and the planting is not arranged in rows, but randomly arranged.
Cloves and bay leaves are even more eye-opening and breathtaking.
Especially bay leaves.
It's the same as the garden she imagined was heaven and earth.
Although it is the same beauty, it is a different beauty.
It is completely different from the residential buildings, and the buildings in the garden can be arranged without the right axis, and the structure is not restricted.
There are many twists and turns, many changes, and most of them are open.
Even in order to adapt to the twists and turns of the landscape and terrain, the pavilion in the garden can still go up at will, completely ignoring the odd number of traditional buildings, and conjuring up half of the small building, which is really incredible.
Especially this color is so coordinated, although the building is taken are all cold colors, gray-black roofs, brown beams and columns, white walls, but such a simple tone, but just match the flowers, trees and stone pools, walking in the meantime, can not help but make people feel pure and elegant, harmonious and unified, indescribably comfortable.
The small is the big, which can be seen from this.
"A layer of red maple, a layer of green pine, a layer of weeping willow, in another month, the color will be different, I don't know how beautiful it will be then!"
Xiangye's eyes fell on the one-color building, and the eyes of the lilacs were as bright as the stars, and they were also attracted by the garden with scenery everywhere, paintings on all sides, infinite space, and endless scenery.
I didn't have time to fall on the protagonist of today, the girl of the Zuo family, and I couldn't care about the rules of the Yao family when I came, so I couldn't help but point to the woods on the other side and shouted.
Naturally, they didn't notice the girl of the Zuo family who followed them with a calm expression and a generous demeanor, and there was a flash of brilliance in her eyes.
Xiangye didn't notice it, and after listening to Lilac's words, she couldn't stop nodding her head, and said: "There are also flower beds stacked with stones in front of the old lady's house, vines and green walls, shallow and deep in the middle, real and empty, so beautiful, I really want to think of it!" ”
After speaking, I suddenly thought of something, and glanced at the girl of the Zuo family with some embarrassment, and the girl of the Zuo family laughed: "My sister said it really well, I didn't expect that my sister already knew the truth of gardening at a young age." ”
There is a blush that climbed on the little face of the fragrant leaves, the little girl's eyes are shining, a little embarrassed, and a little like the praise of the girl of the Zuo family, and the little face is full of the little girl's entanglement.
It's as cute as her own sister, which makes people feel good when they see it, and the girl of the Zuo family laughed.
Or felt the sincerity of the girl of the Zuo family, this came to a strange environment, and some of the fragrant leaves who recognized the life quickly became lively, and suddenly the eyes of the fragrant leaves opened up, and the fragrant leaves lit up, and pointed to the untied boat not far away to show the pepper: "Jiaojiao, look at it, does it look like a painting over there?" He sighed in disbelief: "How can it be so similar!" ”
Hua Jiao nodded heavily, his eyes were full of comfort: "The distant mountains have no feet, the distant trees have no roots, and the distant boats have no bodies. ”
Sichuan pepper felt a sentence and said, bay leaves and cloves couldn't stop nodding after hearing them in their ears, but the girl of the Zuo family was stunned again, and this time she couldn't help but show two points of surprise on her face.
She knew early on that according to the situation of their family, they would be able to make people eat enough and not freeze...... My grandmother has not been walking around for many years because she is a young widow, and in recent years, she has been concentrating on fasting and reciting Buddha, and she does not know anything about the recent situation of her relatives. And her mother has always been weak, and if something happens, it is not good for her to be in a hurry. As for the aunt, there is also a younger brother in the family who wants to study, and the younger sister who wants to say that she is close to ...... When it was her turn to get married, half of it depended on heaven and half on fate, so she could only be free and easy by herself.
I was still thinking that the fourteenth and fifteenth sisters in front of me were about to say goodbye, and it would be her turn in a few days, and the eldest aunt should be more attentive, please her like, and ask her to help pay more attention.
In the end, it is up to people to make things happen, and things are made in heaven, if she is allowed to find it, relying on the blessing of the Bodhisattva, there are some opportunities, and it is not known.
And when she comes out, there are some things that she can plan for her younger brothers and sisters.
But I didn't expect my aunt and grandmother to come to the door in person, come to talk to my grandmother, saying that she wanted to secure her marriage.
She has nothing to say, and it is all up to her elders.
After all, the three generations of their ancestors and grandchildren have been taken care of by their aunts and grandmothers, if it weren't for the Fang family and the Guo family still thinking about their family from time to time, the clan would still be a little jealous, and it would be impossible to say that they would not have had enough food and clothing now.
Grandmother didn't say anything, she listened to her aunt and grandmother. Her father also agreed, at the age of nineteen, he had already fallen into Xiucai's son-in-law, how could his father be unjustified.
Her mother was a little hesitant, thinking that this family's family was lower.
After all, among her cousins, Rao is a concubine, but she didn't marry into the countryside. There is one of her sisters, but her husband is also a famous squire in their Lianxi City.
She knew that her mother's nature was weak, but sometimes she was too delicate and sensitive, if it weren't for this, her body and bones would not be so corrupted, so she explained her and said: "My aunt and grandmother are very people, if she is not really optimistic, how can she run this trip herself." You know, now that Rao is eldest aunt has gone to Fang's house, she can't wait to see her aunt and grandmother. ”
Her mother was even more worried when she heard this, and frowned slightly: "That's optimistic, there are also several little girls in the Fang family who are discussing marriage, why didn't your aunt and grandmother marry this family?" ”
couldn't help but smile bitterly, what did she say this!
The Fang family does have several little sisters who are about the same age as her, but the Fang family is very good, and her family is very poor, her father does not have much status in the clan, and he is not good at management, and the family has been declining year by year.
The big family in Lianxi City, who doesn't know the situation of her family, she wants to talk about the family affairs that are passable, and it is not easy to talk about it.
Don't say anything about it, just say that even if someone wants to marry their Zuo family, the fourteenth and fifteenth sisters are only one year older than her, and the seventeenth and eighteenth sisters are about to grow up, which one is not stronger than her......
And the Qin family, although the foundation is weak, can listen to the meaning of the aunt and grandmother, cultivate and read the heirloom, and the family style is upright.
To be praised by her aunt and grandmother must be unique, and what benefits does she have to be able to pick others!
Unexpectedly, it may be even better than she imagined.
My aunt and grandmother specially sent Mama Guo to hand over the post and invite them to enjoy the flowers.
She had a faint number in her heart.
When I followed my mother over today, I really met the Qin family at the Fang family.
There were two grandmothers and three young ladies.
The eldest grandmother, although she looked slightly older than her mother, was completely different from her mother's fragility, and was also different from the plump of the first second aunt in the family, with a moderate figure and a radiant spirit.
And this third grandmother, who puts the eldest grandmother first in everything, should be a lady, but whether it is clothing or demeanor, she is not like her third aunt, and the uncles and aunts on the side branches are pinching their heads, and they are trying to compare the eldest aunt. Rao has an extra hairpin on his head, and he can be happy all day.
She was already relieved, her aunt and grandmother spoke really well, and the Qin family was indeed upright.
And the three young ladies looked like they were only about ten years old, and the eldest was only thirteen or fourteen years old.
Although the complexion is not very fair, it is smooth and shiny, the round face is puffy, and there is quite an aura between the eyebrows, especially the eyes.
She already had two good feelings in her heart.
This is not inferior to the girls who have been raised by the so-called poetry, books and etiquette families like them.
She took a sip of tea from the teacup, and put her heart back in her stomach, but somehow, she became a little worried.
My aunt and grandmother had already gotten up and led them to walk around the garden, and after walking for half a circle, the sun rose, and there was still some enthusiasm under the sun, so my aunt and grandmother asked her to just take the three young ladies of the Qin family to go shopping, and they went to the pavilion to rest.
But I didn't expect to give her such a shock, or rather, a surprise.
