Chapter 16 The Peach Blossom Festival

Early the next morning, Xiaohu came to knock on Su Jin's door. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info Su Jin was still lingering with the quilt, and when he was woken up like this, he complained in his heart, but it was inconvenient to attack. With worried eyes, he came to open the door barefoot, stepped on Jiuyu's stomach, and the painful Jiuyu almost fainted, and Su Jin came to his senses a little.

"Ah, Brother Xiaohu, what's the matter so early?" Su Jin politely introduced Xiaohu into the house.

"When you came last night, the village chief had already slept. I went and told him about you this morning. The village chief now asked me to invite Childe over, breakfast has been prepared, Childe please. Xiaohu didn't enter the door, and directly asked Su Jin to go to the village chief's house with him.

When Su Jin came yesterday, it was already night, and he couldn't see anything clearly when it was dark. When I went out with Xiaohu in the early morning, I found that this peach blossom village is indeed worthy of its name, the mist in the early morning has not yet dispersed, swirling in the air, the morning sun that has just risen shines down, and the mist reflects the peach blossoms, and it is also dyed a little crimson. The smoke rising from every house indicates the beginning of the day, like a quiet painting, which people can't bear to disturb. On the way, I met people who went to the creek to fetch water, and greeted them warmly; There was also a little girl who went to Xibianhuan to wash clothes, and when she saw a stranger, she was still a young man, she covered her face in shame and avoided it, and after Su Jin walked by, they all got together to discuss, how good-looking that son was. Agile figure, like a flock of butterflies.

Came to the village chief's house, the village chief was an old man who was over the age of six, but his spirit was very good, seeing Su Jin and them coming, he got up and beckoned them to sit down, Su Jin was busy begging, and then sat at the table in a proper manner, Jiuyu coiled his tail and lay at Su Jin's feet, lazily closing his eyes to recuperate.

Yingying took out a small jar of wine from the kitchen, and a table of wine and food was ready.

"Brother Little Tiger, you can sit too! What to do while standing. Ying Ying saw Xiaohu standing next to him and beckoned him to sit too.

"Childe doesn't have to be restrained, come, eat first, let's talk while eating, it's all some country things, Childe don't dislike it." The village chief poured Su Jin a glass of wine as he spoke.

Su Jin knew that he was not in a good drunken state, so he hurriedly pushed back: "The village chief is polite, but he can't drink too much." Let this wine be at that. The village chief was not reluctant, and poured a cup for himself and Xiaohu.

"Lao Yu is the eldest in this village, and he is loved by everyone and is the head of this village. This is the old granddaughter, named Luoying. Luo Ying rushed to Su Jin Yingying, which was considered to be official, and then sat down next to the village chief.

When Su Jin heard this, he knew that it was abrupt for him to call other people's names yesterday, so he hurriedly replied: "Miss Luoying, forgive me for being reckless last night." Luo Ying smiled slightly, not surprised.

After breakfast, Luo Ying removed the cups and plates and replaced them with tea. Su Jin also told the village chief about his affairs, of course, he didn't say that he met a demon, he only said that he should specialize in exposition when he reads, and he has recently been interested in customs and feng shui physiognomy, and wants to find a warlock to learn from him.

"Our place is remote, and we have lived for all these years, and I really haven't heard of any warlocks in these ten miles and eight towns." The village chief bowed his head and muttered for a long time, not thinking of where he had seen a warlock.

Su Jin was not very disappointed when he heard this, originally the warlock should be the head of the dragon without seeing the tail, there are not many goblins, if the warlock is everywhere, wouldn't he want to drink the northwest wind.

"Master Su, if you are not in a hurry, you can stay in this village for two more days, the day after tomorrow the full moon, is our annual peach blossom festival here, and people from several nearby villages will come to participate. Maybe someone will know about the Warlock!" Luo Ying smiled and refilled Su Jin's teacup.

"Peach Blossom Festival? Isn't it lively?" When Luo Ying heard this, she suddenly pursed her lips and smiled shyly, lowered her head and walked quickly to the back hall.

Xiaohu's eyes kept chasing Luo Ying's figure, until her floating skirt disappeared into the corner, and then she took her eyes back, Su Jin looked in her eyes and smiled slightly, it seems that they are a pair of **, how intimate they can call the name of the girl in their hearts.

"This Peach Blossom Festival, once a year, is the day for the little dolls to choose their parents. On the day of the full moon of the fifteenth month, all the daughters of the family who are to be married must be dressed up. During the day, you can go to the peach blossom forest to enjoy the peach blossoms, tie your embroidered handkerchief to the peach blossom branch, no matter what you embroider, you can be flowers, birds, fish and insects, you can also embroider poems, all according to your own preferences, you want to embroider your own name, if you are destined to get a man, you can achieve a good marriage. The village chief introduced the customs of the Peach Blossom Festival to Su Jin.

Su Jin listened interestingly: "What if the man gets a handkerchief, but the woman doesn't fall in love with the man?" Isn't it a chaotic mandarin duck?"

"Oh, no, at night, people light bonfires in the glade, hang lanterns in the forest, men will take handkerchiefs to find the woman they like, invite her to dance together, enjoy the lanterns. If the woman wishes, they can engrave each other's names on the lantern and put it in the stream to show no regrets. If the woman does not want to, the man will return the handkerchief. The village chief explained.

After resigning from the village chief, Su Jin decided to stay here for a few days, and the Peach Blossom Festival was really a big ** for him. The simple people here have such a splendid love like a mountain flower, and it is worth it to have it once in a lifetime.

Su Jin came to the forest with the little fox in his arms, the flowers were just right, and the bees and butterflies came to disturb each other. But when he saw a few women in headscarves, holding a basket made of peach branches and picking peach blossoms, Su Jin was strange, so he stepped forward and asked, "How are the sisters!" This peach blossom blooms well, isn't it necessary to keep the long peach, how can you pick it well, isn't it a pity?"

The village is not big, and the people in the village have heard about a good-looking young scholar early on. A woman in her early thirties stopped her hand and turned to answer him: "Childe is a scholar, so I naturally don't know the work in the field. If all the fruits are kept, the nutrients of a tree are limited, and the peaches that come out are small and astringent, how can they be eaten? The peasant family should not be too greedy, and it is necessary to remove the excess flower bones, so that the fruit will be big and sweet. ”

Su Jin suddenly realized, thinking that the knowledge of this world is not all written in the books of sages, and he must have experienced it himself to understand the true meaning.

"The flowers that are picked are also useful, it is very good to dry in the shade, girls like it, drinking it all year round can make the complexion ruddy, the skin is delicate, and it can also be bathed. . . ." The woman suddenly felt that she had lost her words, and hurriedly covered her mouth.

Su Jin thought that he had nothing to do, he couldn't live here for a few days in vain, and if he wanted to give the silver, Brother Xiaohu would not accept it, so he made some rouge with him, and asked him to give it to Luoying girl to please his sweetheart.

"This eldest sister, I see this peach blossom in the next place, and I want to ask the eldest sister for some, I don't know... Su Jin took a piece of broken silver and handed it over.

The woman waved her hand again and again in surprise: "This flower is all over the forest, and it is not worth anything." If you want Childe, you can give it to Childe. ”

"Hehe, don't be polite, eldest sister, I have to ask eldest sister to prepare something next, this is as it should be." Su Jin handed the broken silver forward and insisted that the woman accept it.

Seeing that she couldn't shirk it, the woman gave it to Su Jin along with a basket full of peach blossoms: "If the son still needs something, the slave family will prepare."

"Tired sister. Please prepare a few pieces of cotton gauze under it, and it is the best of this year's new spinning. Prepare a large jar of wine, not much better, but stronger. In addition, I have to borrow my sister's stone to use. Su Jin took the basket, Jiuyu was about to jump into the basket, but he drove him down.

"It's easy to say, that drunkard in our family is drinking all day, Childe waits, I'll go back, and then send the things to Huzi's house." The woman said and hurried away.

Su Jin greeted the remaining women, and then carried the basket back to Xiaohu's house. In the forest, among the flowers, it is the people of the village who are arranging lanterns。。。。。。
