Chapter 246 (Li Xiaohui and Shibi +)
On the Shangsi Festival in the fifth year of Jingyao, the weather was fine. The swallows whisper in the spring day, the catkins are light, and the flowers are blooming.
The riverside in the suburbs is covered with light gauze curtains, the drunken spring breeze blows, the light yarn sets off rippling ripples, and occasionally there are graceful and beautiful figures shuttling in the curtains, lightly grazing the heartstrings of Huaichun.
The path is paved with grass, and it winds all the way to the river, and the spring waves are green and clear. Pink peach branches, occasionally there are spring swallows lingering, low sweeping, swaying the full path of falling red, like brocade paving the ground.
In the curtain tent of the Yan family, felt mats have already been laid out, and the old lady, the second lady and other elders are all here today. It is a ritual to pray for peace by the river to cleanse and eliminate calamities.
The girls and grandmothers also arrived.
Lu Luo went out with the Yan family, it was Yan Xun's idea, but it was the old lady who came forward to invite Lu Luo.
Of course, there is not only Lu Luo, an outsider, but also seven or eight other relatives and friends.
"Wu Niang, you come here to sit." Everyone was still settling their seats, and the old lady waved at Lu Luo.
Yun Yun had already snuggled up to the old lady.
The old lady is old and has a loose personality. Last time Lu Luo's little disrespect, her old man was unhappy at the time, and she forgot it after a few days.
The old lady also understood that it was Yan Xun's idea to withdraw from her family, and she should not be angry with Lu Luo, and Lu Luo had not married yet, so it would be even more rude to persuade Yan Xun.
Lu Luo defended Yan Xun, and the old lady felt more and more that she was loyal to her husband, which was commendable. The flaws are not hidden, and the old lady still likes her very much.
"Yes." Lu Luo said with a smile.
The curtain is in a mess, and the grandmother is in charge of the maids. Arrange for everyone to sit down.
Lu Luo's seat was originally set up next to the old lady.
So, she walked around the crowd and came over.
"Ancestor, I'm a little cold, I want to go out for a walk, stretch my muscles and bones, and bask in the sun." A woman wearing a goose-yellow embroidered folded branch flower pinching waist gown stepped forward and said to the old lady.
"There you go." The old lady smiled kindly.
The woman saluted Lu Luo again, and then took the maid out.
This is the second grandmother of the Yan family, the Ling family. Lu Luo was very impressed with her. Because her eyebrows are a little uninhibited. Not as gentle as the other women in the inner courtyard of the Yan family.
Grandma Ling and the second young master have a bad relationship, and the couple often make trouble. During the Duanyang Festival last year, the second grandmother was still pregnant and had a miscarriage, just when the ancestral tomb of the Yan family was damaged.
Last time, Yun Yun also told Lu Luo. Grandma has a sister-in-law. I often come to Yan's house. Hook up with the second young master.
Yun Yun and Yan Xun also bumped into the second young master and the second grandmother's sister making out in the back garden, when the second young master's hand was stretched out in the clothes of the second grandmother and sister.
This kind of intimacy, the first time I have seen it. didn't quite understand what was going on, so Yan Xun told her the truth.
Yan Xun didn't hide it, because he was afraid that he wouldn't understand and be lured and bullied by other men.
"Third sister-in-law, let's go kite flying too." Yun Yun whispered to Lu Luo, encouraging Lu Luo to go out to play, don't wait for them to be together.
"Let's go to the cleansing first, and then you can play as you like." When the old lady heard Yun Yun and Lu Luo muttering, she smiled and took Yun Yun's hand.
The grandmother of the Yan family has outstanding management skills, and quickly arranged for everyone to sit down.
Everyone had a seat, or took off their cloaks, or retired from their rings, and then went to the river to wash.
"Grandmother, shall we go to the river?" After everything was in order, the eldest grandmother stepped forward to invite the old lady, and then the second lady, "Mother, can you still walk?" ”
"Let's go." The old lady laughed.
"I can still walk." The frail second lady also got up.
Lu Luo and Yun Yun followed behind the old lady and went to the river with the Yan family.
The purification of the Shangsi Festival is a simple ritual, everyone uses a towel to pry the water by the river, wipes the back of the ears, and wipes the back of the hands, even if the washing is completed.
"Their children's families want to fly kites, hairpins, camelina, and a lot of places to play, so let's not hold them back, let them all have fun by themselves." The old lady said to the second lady.
The second lady smiled and relayed this to the eldest grandmother beside her.
The eldest grandmother said, letting everyone disperse: "Don't go far, beware of slipping feet." Today, there are seven or eight families here, all of whom are relatives and friends, so don't make trouble. ”
After a few words, the eldest grandmother helped the old lady and the second lady back to the curtain and sat down to drink tea.
"Grandmother, mother, then let's go for a walk too?" The eldest grandmother asked the old lady and the second lady with a smile.
The eldest grandmother, Wei, also brought her two cousins, as well as her cousin-in-law who came from out of town.
"Go, go." The old lady said.
Lu Luo and Yun Yun were almost the last to leave.
They came out of the curtain tent and saw the eldest grandmother's maid holding the camellia flower and giving it to Lu Luo and Huan: "Miss Lu and the fourth lady have hairpins." ”
Lu Luo took two wild camellia flowers and inserted them in his and Yunyun's sideburns.
"Third sister-in-law, let's go and occupy the oil flowers." I pulled the land hard.
Divination of oil flowers, which has nothing to do with rape flowers, is to pour vegetable oil on the place where the stream does not flow, watch the oil on the water surface bloom, and then use the shape to divinate the luck of the year.
Lu Luo smiled: "Oil painting divination is nothing fun, I can give you divination." ”
"Then let's go and ask for a son?" He said again.
Every year during the festival, people surrounded the pond by the river, and put down stones and tiles for the women to fish. If you have a stone, you will have a man, and if you have a tile, you will have a girl.
"Isn't it a joke for the two of us to go and ask for a child?" Lu Luo said with a smile.
"So, why are we going?" Yun Yun tilted his head and asked, out of mind.
Lu Luo didn't know either.
All things considered, they still decided to go to the oil flower divination.
At the edge of the stream, Lu Luo met the Yan family's second grandmother, Ling, who was divining with her maid.
"Second sister-in-law." I gave her a salute.
Grandma got up and greeted them.
The golden sun is warm, and the bright light reflects the sparkling surface of the water. The still water here has been poured a lot of oil, and the oil splashes are colorful against the sunlight.
The women who had never seen industrial pollution thought it was very good-looking, but Lu Luo felt disgusting.
She could only turn her head to look at people.
Grandma faced the sun, and Lu Luo saw her face clearly. In the daylight, Lu Luo saw the brows of the second grandmother Ling, and there were a few wisps of black light circulating.
This is a great omen, and it can be serious injury or death.
Lu Luo looked at the waist of the second grandmother again, and she was still carrying the magic weapon jade pendant that Lu Luo gave her.
This jade pendant was secretly bought by Mrs. Yan from Lu Luo and given to the second grandmother.
"It's not an external cause, it's an internal cause?" Lu Luo thought to himself.
Lu Luo groaned, guessing the source of grandma's eyebrows. After a pause, Lu Luo looked at the lower abdomen of the second grandmother, and asked tentatively: "Second grandmother, are you pregnant?" ”
Grandma's maid was so frightened that the oil pot in her hand fell to the ground with a clatter; And the grandmother herself also changed her face suddenly.
The reaction of their master and servant made Lu Luo a little confused.
What is the alarm of a married woman who is pregnant?
