This day is the beginning of summer, and the folk have the custom of drinking 'Lixia tea', so every family cooks new tea, with various colors of new fruits, and gives it to relatives and friends. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Gou'er and his wife have lived in Zhuangzi for many years, and the neighbors have always been frequent, and the two of them are kind and friendly, and grandma can talk about good ways and be willing to help others, even the villagers who are far away also have more fellowship with them, and they sent a few fruits early.

Grandma and Qing'er hurriedly thanked them, and discussed that they would give some back so that it would not be rude. It's just that the family is busy with everything, and there are still injuries to take care of, so there is no manpower to be those hosts. Qiao'er saw that the osmanthus tree at home was blooming just right, so she said: "When we cooked tea in the summer at home during that season, there were always many names, such as jasmine, forest fowl, Ding Tan, Su apricot, rose, and osmanthus stamen, and there was no one who did not pick them to cook tea. Now the laurel tree in the yard is growing just right, and it is the time when the stamens are fragrant, grandma is impatient to make fruits to give away, you might as well pick some stamens, I and Qing'er make some cinnamon fragrant soup, and send it to the courtyards, which is also our mind. ”

Grandma listened to it and said that it was very good, so Qing'er stepped on the stool, picked up the good osmanthus and pinched it off, handed it to Qiao'er, and brought a new bucket of water to cook osmanthus tea. Qiao'er washed the osmanthus flower, only used the stamen into the tea, found a white porcelain cup to hold, and sent it from house to house.

Everyone said that her idea was exquisite, the osmanthus was fragrant, the tea soup was green, and since then the method of osmanthus into tea has spread in Zhuangzi.

But said that Qiao'er wants to be tied and bandaged are all together, because I think that the fifth day of the fifth month of May is the Dragon Boat Festival, and now it is only the middle of April, I smell that there was a custom here with colored velvet mixed gold threads, tangled into gold simple charm bags to feed each other, and there are red and yellow summer cloths, yarn fans, sweat towels, etc. When Brother Ban'er goes to buy on the street, he can also sell some loose household goods. So he took the needlework basket that was commonly used in his grandmother's house, compared the threads, picked the red, green, dark and gray colors, and found a pine satin, determined to embroider a pattern.

Qing'er saw that she was rising, and she also had the heart to understand, so she covered it up in front of her grandmother, and watched Qiao'er do her work every day. I saw that among her petals, up, down, left and right, and in the middle, two or three color lines were used. There are also leaves and stems, the young ones are dark red, the ordinary ones are dark green, and the old ones are twisted with green and ink. I won't mention all the wonderful things during this period. Before the Dragon Boat Festival, Qiao'er handed the embroidered light yellow silk sweat towel to Ban'er, and said: "The color of the needlework at home is too simple, or a few more embroidered pieces can come out." ”

The board was in his hand, and he saw that one end of the pine silk sweat towel was embroidered with a branch peony, and that end was a few peach blossoms. It's just that I can't bear it. ”

Qiao'er covered her mouth and laughed at him: "What's so reluctant about this, if my brother likes it, I'll embroider another one." ”

Ban'er hurriedly said that she couldn't afford to be tired, so she asked her if there was anything else she needed to bring, and she bought them together. Qiao'er said the color of the needle and thread, and said: "Two days will be the Dragon Boat Festival, and everything under the festival must be prepared." Grandma Fang Cai said that she has the zongye at home, so she doesn't need to spend money to buy it, and the other brother will weigh it himself. ”

Ban'er replied that he knew, so he went to the town and returned in the evening.

The mother and daughter of the Du family said that they came to visit before, so they went to Zhou's house the day before the Dragon Boat Festival, greeted each other, sat down with Mrs. Zhou, and asked if the family was okay, Mrs. Du said: "That day was complicated, I never came to ask Mrs. for peace, but it happened that these days were free, so I brought Fang girl over, thinking that Mrs. praised Yun Niang's embroidery work, and now there is nothing to honor Mrs. Yunniang, only brought a few pieces of gold and jade embroidered by Yun Niang, and I hope that Mrs. will not dislike it." As he spoke, he turned around and called the little girl Magpie who came with him. The magpie hurriedly took a small lacquered tea tray, covered with red felt, a large red silk sweat towel and various colored sachets and purses, and held it directly in front of Mrs. Zhou.

Qingping took it and unfolded it to Mrs. Zhou, everything else was fine, but I saw that the big red silk sweat towel was embroidered with large peonies and begonias and other flowers, which was really rich and compelling, so she couldn't stop boasting, and rubbed it in her hand again, and said with a smile: "Thank you for bothering to do this, I don't need it at my age, and I didn't spoil it." ”

Du Baifang said with a smile on the side: "How can Mrs. say such humble words, we are only afraid that the craftsmanship will be rough and will not enter the eyes of Mrs." ”

Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Du both laughed, and Mrs. Du said: "No matter whether it is good or bad, Mrs. will just accept it, and it will be returned to which brother or sister, and we also like it." ”

Mrs. Zhou smiled: "You say this, I think about it, our family's Yanqing is missing such a thing, so I gave it to him." ”

Du Baifang pursed her lips and smiled, Mrs. Zhou weighed the sweat towel again, and suddenly turned her head and asked Sydney: "Aunt Guo seems to have brought in such a thing yesterday, where do you put it." ”

Mrs. Du hurriedly said: "Did Mrs. send someone to buy it yesterday?" As I say, we are late. ”

Mrs. Zhou said with a smile: "I didn't buy it on purpose, it happened to be the Dragon Boat Festival, and there were still some dumpling leaves at home that were not prepared, so I asked people to go outside to see on the street." They have a heart, and when they see this, they want to buy it back. I also said yesterday that the embroiderer looked like it came out of your Zhuangzi, but I just wondered that your Duxiu Villa had never taken the embroidery out to sell. You have this today, so that you can see the one they bought. ”

As she spoke, Sydney had already rummaged through the box to find out, and Mrs. Du had been suspicious since Mrs. Zhou said that the embroidery seemed to be from the Du family. At this moment, I saw that Sydney really took a pine sweat towel out, and hurriedly snatched it away, and Du Baifang's mother and daughter looked at it side by side, looking at the pine flower sweat towel embroidered with a branch peony and several peach blossoms with exquisite colors and delicate stitches, it seems to be the same as the Du family embroidery village, and there are still differences under a closer look. Du embroidery pays attention to wealth, the embroidery products are all to the atmosphere of prosperity as the matter, and this embroidery split silk is too thin hair, and the needle is like a millimeter, pay attention to the exquisite and elegant.

Mrs. Du and Du Baifang looked at it carefully, shook their heads and said: "This is not our embroidery's technique, looking at this stitching and color matching, I am afraid that it is more superb than our Du family's embroidery." I just don't know where my wife bought it, and who made it? ”

Mrs. Zhou said: "I also asked them this, and they all said that they bought it from the shop, but I don't know whose girl is so ingenious and makes a good needle, if it is really not your Du family, it is a pity." ”

Mrs. Du laughed embarrassedly twice, Du Baifang was afraid that she would be embarrassed, so she was busy talking and laughing goodbye, but she had an idea in her heart, she must find the person who made the Songhua sweat towel. Sure enough, when he left Zhou's mansion in the evening, Du Baifang called the little maid and told the little maid who came with him, so that they didn't have to go back together, and went to the street to see if there was any embroidery. The mother and daughter boarded the car and went home to discuss it.

On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, since Dr. Qu threw himself into the river, there is still a custom of dragon boat racing among the people. At the beginning, Qing'er Ban was worried that there was no one at home and refused to go out to play. Grandma said that Qiao'er had been bored at home for a few days, and her daughter-in-law's injuries were also healed, so she persuaded them to come out.

Qiao'er still dressed up in men's clothes, tied a bun, wore a scarf, wore an agarwood cocoon single robe, and jade-colored silk pants. took Qing'er's hand and walked beside Ban'er. Ban'er was also dressed in a new one, changing into a Su Lan cloth robe, and Qing'er was wearing a royal blue shirt covered with a Doujin vest. The three of them squeezed forward with the flow of people, and the women of the village wore calamus, sea wormwood, pomegranate flowers, and buckwheat hanging on their heads. Beat the black wax, rubbed the lead powder, on the bank of the river, running around with a pair of red cloth rolling red leaves, pulling colorful flowers and new green cloth shoes, calling sister-in-law and calling aunt, pushing sister and pulling sister, and being blackened by the sun. There were also drunken men who were drunk and crowded among the women. All kinds of small businessmen take advantage of the market to buy and sell, and it is very lively.

Qiao'er was dazzled, pulling Qing'er and cooing and not knowing what to laugh at, Ban'er was afraid that the two of her would be collided, so they held hands with each other.

When I arrived at the bridge, I saw dozens of rowing boats moored next to the big boat under the bridge, and the canopy had been lifted, and the bow of the boat stood with a dragon head, just waiting for the sound to be heard.

Everyone applauded on the case, and the boatman came up to ask if he wanted to start the boat, and the presiding township elder and Li Zheng and others said: "Start the boat." ”

Suddenly a gong sounded, and the ten children finally got on the rowing boat. The big boat and the rowing boat untied the cable together, the oars of the oars, and the braces of the penny. The people on the case were full of words, cheering and cheering, and it was extremely lively.

Sister Qiao just clapped her hands and applauded, the young men on the left and right were all of average age, and they all applauded, the one on the left of this road was the fastest, and the one on the right of the road caught up. Loud and noisy, and so on.

Qing'er watched attentively, and there was Aunt Li next door, and Sister-in-law Gu in the west were all there, and the girls were talking and laughing, and Aunt Li said: "What about the Qiao girl in your family, why don't you see her?" ”

Qing'er smiled: "She is very shy, and she is stubborn at home with her grandmother." As he spoke, he was afraid that she would ask more questions, so he hurriedly shouted to cover up the past. didn't even watch out for the crowd, and the two Li and Qiao'er broke up, and Ban'er just went down to the rowing competition again. Qiao'er was turning her head to look, and more than a dozen people came behind her, all of them were silver-red Xing'er cloth shirts, dark silk rolling lamps and grass-edged gowns, and a two-blue palace silk jacket. At first, he hugged a young boy, wearing a light blue cocoon silk thin cotton summer coat, only adding a large gold thread inlay at the cuffs, and was bowing his head to fiddle with a folding fan. Sister Qiao'er didn't bumper into it in two strokes, and the entourage who followed behind Brother Gongzi hurriedly said: "Death, where are you going?" ”

Qiao'er let them stand on their feet in a bluff, and they couldn't even say that they were right, and the people who came with them still wanted to entangle, but their master spoke: "It's okay, give him some money and send him away." ”

Someone passed the word down: "The second master said let him go, and someone will bring a string of money." ”

The entourage who followed retreated, and took a string of money to Sister Qiao, who was so frightened that she didn't dare to reach out to pick it up, so she avoided it and left. It's just that the house leak happened to rain overnight, and the moment I turned around, the children who were watching the excitement on the other side ran with the boat in unison, and they knocked Qiao'er down on her back all of a sudden. Thanks to the boy, he held on behind his head, and only watched a canopy of green silk fall from the falling net towel like a waterfall.
