Chapter 39 Over the Dragon Boat Festival

Finally, it was a letter from Lord Wei, which was brought by several cronies of Lord Wei in person. Lord Wei's family settled in Chang'an, cleaned up, bought people, no matter how big or small, Pei wrote to tell Peach Blossom one by one. The most pleasing thing for Peach Blossom is that mahjong is really sold in Chang'an, and the supply is not enough to describe its popularity, it turns out that Pei Shi returned to Chang'an and took out the first pair and gave it to the current queen, Li Shimin's most beloved wife, the eldest grandson Queen Guanyin, the queen likes to be abnormal, so every day Xuan Pei entered the palace to play. Lord Wei also quickly changed from the fourth grade to the fourth grade, and everyone thought that this was inseparable from the Pei family's closeness to the queen. After learning that the cause was mahjong, they tried their best to buy and practice, and mahjong became hard to find for a while. Because Pei taught them to play mahjong, he quickly integrated into the top ladies' circle in Chang'an.

This time, several people were ordered to come overnight to get mahjong from Peach Blossom, and the more the better. Peach blossoms make people get ready quickly, and this time there are as many as two thousand pairs. Several people brought Peach Blossom a large bag of all kinds of gold, silver, and jade headdresses, earrings, bracelets, and 10,000 taels of silver tickets that Pei bought for her, and Peach Blossom wanted them to bring it back. They only replied to Pei's original words, the money to Peach Blossom was only one-tenth of what she earned, and Mahjong brought her something that money could not buy, and Peach Blossom must accept a piece of her gratitude.

A few people said that now Chang'an mahjong is really hard to find, peach blossoms each sent them two more mahjong to them back to do favors, they called the eldest lady generous, a few people only drank a few sips of water, and even had time to eat and hurried back to Chang'an to catch up.

The jewelry peach blossom put it away by itself, it was Pei's daughter and no one else naturally said anything. The money deducts the various wages sent out in the early stage, half of the public, there are more than 4,000 taels left, Peach Blossom discussed with Brother Youcai, and took out 1,000 taels as a reward for him and the children, and the remaining 3,000 taels, uncle, second uncle, peach blossom, fourth uncle, fifth uncle, grandfather happened to be a family of 500 taels, and everyone accepted it excitedly.

The rest is divided into two hundred taels for the arable uncle, one aunt's family is one hundred taels, and the second aunt also gets one hundred taels of dividends because of the thirteen-year-old cousin Xiaotao of the eldest aunt's family. Peach Blossom secretly thought that she didn't want to give you this hundred taels.

The Dragon Boat Festival is coming in two days, there is a custom in this place to set a parent, and the festival will be given to the daughter-in-law's family who has not passed the door, Dragon Boat Festival, August 15, and the New Year is the three major passes. Only rich people dare to get married early, and those who don't have money have to get married after they get married, otherwise they will be afraid of giving gifts.

Peach blossom took advantage of the Dragon Boat Festival in the cake shop to launch bean paste, mung beans, jujubes, peanuts, fresh meat several kinds of zongzi, the price is super low, and their own home is not much different, before they only make brown sugar filling, so many tricks or have not seen, the price is not expensive fancy zongzi is very popular, to more than home delivery. Four oversized pots were set up in the backyard of the store, and seven or eight people were transferred from the house, and they worked day and night to pack, cook, and work in shifts for three days, using hundreds of bags of glutinous rice, and finally they could still make a lot of money. The cake business in the shop is also much better.

On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, the uncle asked Peach Blossom to come up with an idea of what kind of festival gifts, and Peach Blossom listed and asked him to buy silver hairpins, jade bracelets, rouge to please Aunt Xiaoli, buy clothes, delicious food to please the mother-in-law, buy the four treasures of the study, and have fun to please the brother-in-law. Unexpectedly, the uncle did it one by one, and returned to the store with a big bag to please Aunt Xiaoli. Aunt Xiaoli was so ashamed that her face was flushed, and the happy Xiaofeng hugged the four treasures of the study and didn't let go, he was also one of the people who wanted to enroll with Yougen this time.

Uncle and Aunt Xiaoli were taken home by Peach Blossom early for the holiday, and of course they went back to Aunt Xiaoli's home, Aunt Xiaoli bought a half-old yard in the village for six taels of silver according to Peach Blossom, and bought two **-year-old little girls, with a temporary place to stay. It is said that men and women should not meet again before marriage. But the store is really inseparable from Aunt Xiaoli and Uncle Xiaoli, Peach Blossom only arranges for Aunt Xiaoli to go home after the Dragon Boat Festival to be married, the dowry is all bought now, even the bride's wedding dress has already been set in Xiuchun Building, and there are not many things to be busy with. This time, I don't have to come back to work when I go home.

It is Xiaolong's cousin who takes over Sister Xiaoli's class, this child has a flexible head, acts cautiously, and is worth cultivating. The aunt picked it up, and a few in the family were also strange, I was afraid that I wouldn't find my daughter-in-law, so I was anxious all day long. Now the good girls are waiting in line to pick, but they all say that they are not in a hurry, they have to take their time.

No matter what kind of work the peach blossom family does in the Dragon Boat Festival, even the people who bought it will send a pound of meat, ten zongzi, except for a few who are busy in the store, each of them has a day off, and they also specially set an ox cart to send the family in the town Uncle Jiasheng, Uncle Jia'an, Aunt Qing and Aunt You go home to visit relatives, and take it back the next day.

Aunt Qin also sent a festival gift in the afternoon, and the Li family sent the same number of gifts back according to the peach blossom, saying that the two families had not yet decided to receive the festival gifts, so they should go according to the neighbors first.

In the evening, the village came to send more gifts, all of which were a few eggs, a pound of sugar, and Xu Wang's family also sent the corresponding rice, zongzi, and flower cloth back, this is the first time that the peach blossom family received the festival gifts from the villagers, and the people in the village did not give gifts before, and this year they were all favored by the peach blossom family, so they all came together.

In the afternoon, the peach blossoms they also finished work early, together with their families, smoked wormwood in the corner of each house, sprinkled with rice wine, and made dumplings, this is the first time that peach blossoms eat dumplings here, leek and pork filling, everyone eats very fragrant, and only eats things during the New Year before, and eats it during the festival this year. Even the subordinates ate together, and it was a lively festival.

After dinner, the Peach Blossom sisters began to gather together mysteriously.

As soon as Li returned to the house, he was pressed by the eldest sister Peach Bud to sit on the kang, and the sisters lined up in a line, each of them took out the prepared gift from the back, and presented it with both hands, including silver hairpins, cloth skirts, fat powder, and even a root holding beaded flowers.

He bowed to Li and said in unison, "I wish my mother a happy birthday, and live younger and younger." ”

Li Shi was stunned, tears flowed down, and he pushed away in a panic, "I don't have a birthday, but this birthday is not good, put these things away quickly." ”

Li's reaction made several people at a loss, the eldest sister received several people's things together, put them on the edge of the kang, and sat down with Li, "Mother, is the family good, what does it have to do with your birthday, isn't the family very good now, why don't they say that it is good luck brought by you." ”

Peach Blossom was confused, what is the relationship between the quality of the family and the birthday, and it is a set of feudal superstitions.

It turned out that the Dragon Boat Festival was also Li's birthday, and the peach blossoms were also heard by the eldest sister. That's where we are today.

"People born in the Dragon Boat Festival have a hard life, Kefu, Kefu, if it weren't for me, your father wouldn't have left like this. I'm only a birthday, as long as everyone is okay. If you let your grandma know that you are going to scold. ”

Peach Blossom understood, it turned out that it was Xu Wang's family who forced his father's death on the Li family, making this unfortunate woman who lost her husband bear more responsibility, so as to protect the reputation of the rest of the family, which is really a shameless bad idea.

It's no wonder that the Li family rarely interacted with the people in the village before, and they didn't have any good playmates, and they were not familiar with their peers in the village, so it turned out that rumors had spread a long time ago.

Everyone in the family will bless a few words on their birthdays, make some delicious treats, no one said blessings to Li today, peach blossoms are strange, thinking that everyone is busy with the festival to forget, it turns out that everyone knows, deliberately not to Li Shi.

"Mother, they are all nonsense, I have seen the Bodhisattva when I was in a coma, where everyone is willing to rush over the Dragon Boat Festival to have a child, even the Bodhisattva will bless the people born in the Dragon Boat Festival, blessed with a great life, blessed by the god of water, and enjoy endless happiness in a lifetime, this must be someone who envies the good life of the Dragon Boat Festival to deliberately spread rumors." Peach Blossom lied as if it were true.

"Really, the Bodhisattva said the same." Li couldn't believe his ears.

"Of course it's true, don't you believe everything in your house now?" "Thank you, thank you, Bodhisattva." Li sobbed quietly, and now it turned into a cry of joy.

"Peach Blossom, when have you ever seen a Bodhisattva?" Peach Blossom winked vigorously at the questioning peach branch, and mouthed at Li's Nunu. Peach Bud realized that it was Peach Blossom who deceived Li's happiness, and she was startled, thinking that Peach Blossom had another adventure that she didn't know.

Li's mood slowly calmed down, Peach Blossom brought a basin of warm water to wash Li's feet, and several people competed for me, which made Li's excited tears well, and began to tell them about the hard days of the family before, as well as because of the Dragon Boat Festival's birthday, the white eyes and the innocent abuse of Xu Wang's family over the years. Several sisters warmly persuaded them, and Li sighed that they had grown up, and tried their gifts one by one.

It was late at night, and only the low laughter of the Peach Blossom family was left in the garden.
