Chapter 207: Artemisia Leaves and Iris [2]
Zhu Yanzheng picked a small piece of horseshoe cake and was about to hand it to Yuan Rin, when he heard Xingye talking about Beiliu Village, he stopped his hand stiffly and looked back at Xingye, "People from Beiliu Village have been here?" ”
"Yes, it's twenty-four, but that son didn't ......come together," Xingye said halfway, seeing Yuan Rin's slightly gloomy face, he hurriedly diverted the words, "What, my uncle took the young lady out early in the morning to 'travel a hundred diseases', and he didn't even bring the sachet and the five-colored wisps, I'll go inside and get some." ”
Without waiting for Zhu Yan to ask again, she had already jumped around the screen and rummaged through it for a while.
Zhu Yan shook her head and didn't ask any more, she was still wondering why Yuan Rin dragged her up the mountain early in the morning, it turned out to avoid Twenty-four, and she didn't know what he was doing when he came to find her?
However, looking at Yuan Rin's face, I am afraid that I can't ask these questions now, Zhu Yan quickly gave up this idea, and still handed him the horseshoe cake just now, "After walking for most of the day, you should be hungry too, eat some snacks?" ”
"You can eat some too, although this thing is sweet, it is not greasy." Yuan Rin looked at her with a smile, this girl has been very good at observing words and emotions recently.
"Well, thank you." Zhu Yan hooked his lips and chuckled, he didn't know when he discovered his dietary preferences, and slowly got used to the feeling of being taken care of by him, but he was ashamed to say that his understanding of him was almost the same as when he was at the beginning.
"Hmm, speaking of which, what did she mean by what she said, 'Wandering Diseases'?"
Before Yuan Rin could answer, Xingye had already rubbed out with something full of things, and his mouth was not idle. "This uncle doesn't necessarily understand, everyone says that people in Beijing are very busy, how can they really have leisure to wander around in the wilderness like us?"
Apricot leaves move near. Poured the things in his hand on the table, picked up two or three five-colored wisps and gave them to Zhu Yanpei, while explaining, "This 'swimming in a hundred diseases' is to put on clean clothes and take a walk by the mountain and water after bathing in the morning." You will be able to drive away all the sick and evil people. ”
"That's interesting." Zhu Yan smiled and looked at the five-colored silk threads on his wrists, which are twisted into thin threads of red, yellow, blue, white, and black, which are said to represent the southern vermilion birds. The central loess, the green dragon in the east, the white tiger in the west and the Xuanwu in the north can seek advantage and avoid evil. The pattern on it is also delicate and intricate. It's vaguely a plum blossom lattice.
Last year's Dragon Boat Festival in the south of the Yangtze River is, it seems to remember that the sachet is more popular, this kind of small thing is far from being so delicate and cute, I think it is the Jiangnan area with abundant water and grass, more mosquitoes and flies, but here it is a beautiful mountain and beautiful water, poisonous snakes and poisonous insects are some, and there are strange diseases - such as leprosy. These drugs alone could not be eliminated, so people turned their hopes to the gods. Hopefully being blessed.
"Miss, this is interesting, it hangs around the neck." Xingye held up a gourd that was only a little thumb long, "The gourd means 'Fulu', um......" Xingye winked at her, "Also, the gourd means many sons and many blessings, so Miss should always carry it." ”
Zhu Yan helped his forehead once, and he had many sons and many blessings...... This girl is thinking really far.
"However, tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival, why have you already brought all these things?" Zhu Yan remembered what was wrong, last year and today, she made many sachets at home with great interest.
"We have a lot of insects and snakes here, the Dragon Boat Festival is a good day to worship the five poisons and drive away all diseases, how can one day be enough, this is to be from the previous day to the next five days, with the New Year's general liveliness!" Xingye was very excited, and a smile flew on her little face, "Uncle Gongzi and Miss Zhu must have never seen each other, it will be really lively at that time." ”
Zhu Yan frowned lightly, sure enough, because of the region, water and soil, Lingnan here will be the Dragon Boat Festival so grand, but she didn't want to brush the joy of the apricot leaves, only took the small gourd, rubbed the knot wrapped around the waist of the gourd, and loosened the placket at the same time, intending to hang it up according to her meaning.
Xingye saw that her neck was white, and there was no decoration, thinking of what Zhu Yan ordered yesterday, "Oh, Miss......" Before she could say it, she had already closed her mouth first, helped her tie it quickly, and nodded in admiration, "This sandalwood-colored knot is a show, which can bring out the 'skin like cream' in the play!" ”
"If you don't study well, what kind of strange scripts does the little girl's family read?" Zhu Yan tapped lightly on the corner of her forehead, although it was a reproachful tone, the corners of her mouth and eyes were full of smiles, it turned out that her life was not as closed as she thought.
"Miss is still a girl's family, how do you know what kind of strange thing it is?" Apricot leaves do not cling to it.
Yuan Rin saw that they were chatting lively, and told Zhu Yan to have a good meal at noon, so he pushed other things out.
"Okay, now can you tell me what's going on in Beiliu Village?" The last time in Beiliu Village was quite unpleasant, although nothing important happened, but it still made her uncomfortable, this time there were only twenty-four, and it did not come forever, it must be a trick played by the old clansmen in the village.
Xingye twisted her eyebrows, and her face twisted like a bitter melon, "Miss, don't say that...... Twenty-fourth, he just came to send some Dragon Boat Festival gifts, what sachets and dumplings and the like, there is nothing wrong with it. ”
"Well, what else?" Zhu Yan listened lightly and did not show any expression for the time being.
“…… Well, according to Miss's instructions, I wiped the previous string of Yingluo, sealed it back into the original box, and asked him to still bring it back, he was very sad......" Xingye muttered a few words, and felt a little ambiguous, and hurriedly explained, "He said that the string of Yingluo was really sent by Yong Wu Gongzi, and now it has been returned by Miss, and Never Wu Gongzi will be very disappointed......
Zhu Yan closed her eyes, she can't be divided into two, one is married to Yuan Rin, and the other is married to him, since she has to choose one, there will always be people who will be disappointed, what's wrong with making it clear earlier?
"Miss......" Xingye moved slightly closer and rubbed her, "Miss, don't you have anything to say?" ”
Seeing that Zhu Yan was still silent, there seemed to be anger between her eyebrows, Xingye was a little anxious, and pulled her sleeve and shook it gently, "Actually, Twenty-four is just in a hurry, and there is no marriage match for a son, Miss, don't be annoyed with him." ”
"Cranky." Zhu Yan smiled, where would she go to annoy Twenty-four because of this kind of thing, but she was dragged by his bitter tricks before and couldn't see Qianyun for the last time, which made her a little unhappy.
But then again, Xingye this girl usually hates him so much, why did he fall today, it seems that there must be an article in it. (To be continued......)
