Chapter 166: The Begging Festival

Throughout the summer, Lu Luo and his mother did not return to Lu Mansion, but just handed over letters every day, briefly talking about the situation in the inner and outer courtyards.

There is nothing big in the family, but Lu Qijun is not very happy, and somehow, he also scolded Yan Xun and Cheng Wang.

"Why is that?" Wen was taken aback. Aren't Yan Xun and King Cheng both proud and virtuous sons-in-law of Lu Qijun, when they are like babies, how can they be insulted?

"The master wanted to make up for the position of the Wenxuan Shilang of the Ministry of Officials, and he ran to find Fang Shangshu, but was scolded back by Fang Shangshu" Xiao Ruier told Wen, "The master went to find Hou Ye and Cheng Wang Ye again, anyway, it was not satisfactory"

The Anthology Division of the Ministry of Officials is the fattest department among the four divisions of the entire Ministry of Officials.

Just like the Ministry of War, the Military Selection Division is the fattest, because the transfer of military generals across the country has to go through the Military Selection Division. Then, the Department of Literature and Anthology is undoubtedly the promotion and transfer of civil officials across the country, and the Department of Literature and Anthology of the Ministry of Officials is responsible for it.

This is a very large department, although Lang Zhong of the Wenxuan Division is a five-grade official, he is a majestic and wealthy official position.

What's more, there are many more civilian officials than military attachés!

"He's delusional!" Wen snorted coldly.

Yan Xun disagreed, but Lu Luo understood, because Wen had told him not to interfere in Lu Qijun's career; Cheng Wang Ye didn't help either, so what did Yan Xun say, or did Liu Niang blow the wind on the pillow?

If it is really the pillow wind of Liuniang, then Liuniang really has Chengfu.

What girl doesn't want her mother's family to be in a position of power? In this way, not only do you respect yourself and speak out of glory, but you also have a strong backer, and you will not suffer in your in-law's family.

Liu Niang can throw away such vanity. Preventing Lu Qijun from being promoted, it can be seen that Liuniang still has foresight.

Lu Qijun has such a character, if he is promoted to the Department of Literature and Anthology, he will do such a thing as selling an official mantle! When the time comes, Liuniang will be even more embarrassed.

Lu Qijun clinged to two powerful sons-in-law, but in the end he found that he didn't get any benefits except for his false name, isn't he angry?

"Since Lu Qijun wants to be promoted. It is better to send him out into the field. Pick a remote and poor place. Wen Shi said to Wen Lexi.

Lu Qijun was not moved before, because of Lu Luo's marriage.

With his father, who is a Beijing official, Lu Luo's worth will be higher. Lu Qijun's official position is Lu Luo's "door". Wen Shi and Wen Lexi didn't want Lu Qijun to be too tall. I can't control him; and they could not send him away into a foreign land. Let Lu Luo have no value at all.

The value of a woman. It's all up to her family. Only when you have a family can you marry well.

Now, Lu Luo's marriage has been completed. can send Lu Qijun away and stay in Beijing to be an eyesore.

"Mingsheng and secretly degraded, who in the officialdom doesn't see it?" Wen Lexi disagreed with Wen's suggestion, "His two daughters have just climbed into a wealthy family, and he has been secretly belittled like this, and Jingli doesn't know what gossip to say!"

Don't you know the gossip yet? Gossip will hurt Luo'er in the end, and it's not worth it.

He was in the ministry, almost infamous, and there could be no change. People like him have to be in front of him and watch him all the time, otherwise he will make other moths, and your mother and daughter will suffer. ”

Wen listened to Wen Lexi's suggestion.

Lu Luo also heard about this, and knew that Lu Qijun would never get his wish, so he didn't pay attention.

She lived with her uncle, and for most of the next half a month, she only saw Chen Rongfeng twice.

The first time was when Lu Luo went to Master's house in the morning and met Chen Rongfeng at the gate; The second time was when Lu Luo went to see the eldest princess of Chengyang and the oblique photo, and when he returned home, Chen Rongfeng left.

is different from the previous familiarity, Chen Rongfeng is more alienated and indifferent to Lu Luo.

He seemed to be a little angry with Lu Luo.

Lu Luo was puzzled, and said in his heart: "Is it because I refuse to accept his kindness and don't let him translate books for me, he thinks too much?" Or, is he originally such a character? ”

Lu Luo thought about it, and suddenly remembered that when he first met Chen Rongfeng, Chen Rongfeng was rejecting people thousands of miles away, and it was no different from now.

Lu Luo was immediately relieved.

In the blink of an eye, it's Tanabata.

On the Chinese Valentine's Day, Beijing is lively again.

There are a lot of fun things to do in the Qiqiao Festival, Lu Luo and Wen have changed into new clothes, and the family has to arrange a banquet to enjoy the festival.

First of all, relatives and friends should give each other red chicken, honey papaya, and other new fruits. Lu Luo received a lot of gifts from others, of course, there are also people he doesn't know.

Their things were all sent to the Lu Mansion, and Xiao Rui'er accepted them on behalf of Lu Luo and Wen's, and then gave them back, which was what Wen told Xiao Rui'er before.

Secondly, it is necessary to sacrifice to the cow girl, and the leaves are laid out on the case, and then all kinds of fruits, wine, and "seeds" are put on the table.

"Seeding" is the custom of the Qixi Festival in this dynasty. As early as the end of June, Wen's wheat, red beans, mung beans, rice, flax and other grains were soaked in water to germinate. The buds are inch long, tied up with "red and blue" two-color threads, and placed in a small pot, as a sacrifice for the begging festival, which is also the meaning of "begging".

"This is a five-colored golden fruit box, there are two spiders in it, let's see it tomorrow morning." Wen Lexi sent Lu Luo a lot of things.

In the past, it was customary to place a five-colored gold plate in the courtyard on the day of Qixi Festival, and if it was covered with cobwebs the next day, it meant that the begging had succeeded.

In this dynasty, the customs are extravagant, many elders in addition to placing five-color gold fruits, but also specially use gold and silver to create very small five-color fruits, put them in a small box, and close two spiders into it, waiting for tomorrow morning to form silk.

"Uncle Xie." Lu Luo said with a smile.

She had the heart to take a look, but when she was stopped by Wen, it was not good to look at it anymore, so she asked the maid to put it away.

"It's for you, too." Wen Lexi took out another delicate box and handed it to Lu Luo.

"Mo Drink Le" is one of the eight gods of the Heavenly Dragon, which is loved by everyone, and the elders want to have a child like "Mo Drink Le", so during the begging festival, Mo Drink Le will be given to the child.

Once upon a time, the mill was made of mud.

Nowadays, with the extravagance of the economy, toys for grinding and drinking are becoming more and more expensive.

Lu Luo took the grinding and drinking music given to her by Wen Lexi, which was packed with carved wood and colored railings, inlaid with gold and jade, which was particularly gorgeous.

Inside was a pair of grinding and drinking, dressed in golden clothes, decorated with jade, and made rich and luxurious.

"Such a pair of grinding and drinking music on the Begging Festival will be sold for a thousand taels of silver!" Wen Shi smiled, "Uncle, you spoil her too much!" ”

When Lu Luo heard that it cost a pair of 1,000 taels of silver, he carefully held it steady, for fear of falling.

Should be festive stuff that is always especially expensive.

"Everyone has bought it, can't we buy it alone?" Wen Lexi smiled, "As long as she likes it." I remember when I was five years old, I bought a pair for her, and now I don't know where I lost it, right? ”

"I didn't lose it, I kept it in the box." Wen said with a smile, "When I have a grandson in the future, I will take it out for the child to play." ”

As they were talking, Yan Xun sent someone to send a lot of Boxing gifts.

Among them, there is also a pair of grinding and drinking, but it is more exquisite and gorgeous than the one Wenle sends, and it is extravagant.
