This sleep was very peaceful, when Zhu Yan woke up, there was only one left on the couch, and the air around her was full of the smell of wormwood, and she remembered that today was the Dragon Boat Festival.

There was a rustling sound outside the curtain, Zhu Yan picked a hairband and tied her hair at will, and followed the sound out, it was the girl Xingye who held many branches and leaves in her hands, and was tiptoeing under the corridor.

The fresh wormwood had been wobbly hung under the porch, and in the apricot leaf hand was a bunch of tender green calamus, the roots of which were firmly tied with a bright red ribbon, and a delicate little sachet hung on it, which was tied in a knot at one end for easy hanging, and as for the pile of branches that hung on the railing...... It seems to be a banyan tree, right?

Calamus and wormwood have a fragrant smell, can repel poisonous insects, calamus is a spiritual grass in traditional Chinese culture that can prevent the epidemic and drive away evil spirits, so it is very reasonable to use it for the Dragon Boat Festival to drive away the five poisons, but the banyan branch, at least she has not heard of the custom of hanging banyan trees during the Dragon Boat Festival.

The apricot leaves were hanging vigorously, and after hanging up, they took a few steps back, stood on tiptoe to compare the height of the calamus, and when they turned around and saw Zhu Yan, it was already a quarter of an hour later.

"Where did Xuanqing go?" Zhu Yan looked away, trying to make the appearance that he had just arrived, and walked to the bottom of the porch, carefully examining the branches of the banyan tree resting on the railing.

"Well, my uncle didn't mention it, he just said that he would come to find Miss at noon in a while, and he would go to treat the brothers and sisters of the Yi family in the afternoon." Xingye saw Zhu Yan leisurely looking at the porch, and sure enough, she didn't expect that she had been out for a long time, and she was still excitedly gesturing the best angle of the bunch of calamus.

Zhu Yan coughed lightly, this girl is really not sensible at all. But seeing that she was so devoted, Zhu Yan was embarrassed to bother her again, and she would also wash up in the morning. It's just that I don't know where the rough girls are getting the water—it's so inconvenient to have no running water.

"This is Bodhi Rong, which was invited by Gongzi from the sacred tree in the village early in the morning!" Xingye picked up the banyan tree, looking very pious and excited.

"Bodhi Banyan?" Zhu Yan blinked his eyes, the Bodhi Banyan is the Bodhi tree? No wonder Fang thought that this branch was a bit like a banyan tree and a little like other plants, so it was originally a kind of Bodhi tree.

"Not really!" Apricot Leaf smiled on her flushed face, ran up the bamboo steps with her skirt in her hand, and stood on tiptoe to point at a green canopy in the distance. "That's it, that's the sacred tree in Duanxi Village! Xingye went to see it yesterday! ”

Zhu Yan tilted her head, she had already seen the green shadow. It's just that I didn't have a chance to pass by, but how did the girl Xingye go?

Feeling Zhu Yan's puzzled gaze fall on him, Xingye was embarrassed to get up, and her little head drooped. Two hands twisted the strap. "That...... Didn't I come to send the Dragon Boat Festival on the twenty-fourth day yesterday, and the young lady asked me to return the string of Yingluo, and I didn't want to give it to him here, so I followed him out...... By the way, I went to see the sacred tree......"

Xingye said lower and lower, Zhu Yan frowned at the beginning, but when she heard the end, she chuckled, I was afraid that this girl was fake for herself, and it was true to go out with others. She's not going to be fooled by that.

"Speaking of this, I asked Xuanqing yesterday. What does he mean, you have served the young lady in the past, but I am afraid that there are still some things to ask you, and you can't be in a hurry to let them out and marry. Seeing a hint of disappointment on Xingye's face, Zhu Yan hurriedly picked up the second half of the sentence, "But Xuanqing promised me that I would be in charge of this matter, and I would be fine when those things were over, don't worry." ”

Xingye smiled happily at this time, and felt that his watch was less reserved than the girl's family, his little face was red, and he lowered his head and was about to leave, and suddenly remembered that he had patronized and hung these things this morning, and he had forgotten a very important thing, that is, to help Zhu Yan groom up, and his little face, which was already flying red clouds, was like a ripe shrimp for a while, and he stammered and said unclearly, "Miss...... I, I'm going to prepare water and wait for you to freshen up......"

Zhu Yan looked at her back as Zhang Huang fled, and just smiled, this girl could be regarded as reacting.

Xingye hurriedly came in with hot water, poured most of it along the way, and crashed into the bamboo curtain, seeing that Zhu Yan was still casually tied up with his hair, a pair of plain hands on a few don't know what to fiddle with, and there was a small silver dagger on the side, and the sharp edge looked at how many people there were.

"You're back, so freshen up first." Zhu Yan raised his eyes and smiled, quickly pushed away a few plates of things similar to garlic and knives and scissors, and lifted the mirror to set up the bronze mirror, "Just a simple hairstyle." ”

Xingye glanced curiously at the plate of things, not understanding what the young lady was going to make up, and only curled her hair according to the rules of the past, a loose bun with clouds, a white hosta fixed, and the crown of her hair was decorated with a delicate yellow canna.

In order to match the hairstyle, Zhu Yan had to follow the meaning of the apricot leaves, and changed into a white silk shirt woven with gold, and a goose-yellow pleated skirt underneath, which was also sold with a light gold pattern.

After Xingye cleaned up these, she opened the food box she had just brought, took some snacks and porridge for Zhu Yan to make breakfast, and then obediently retreated, leaving her alone in the house to continue to use knives and scissors to deal with the plate of "garlic".

When Yuan Rin and Yan Xing came in together, they saw the girl in the pale yellow shirt sitting neatly in front of her, her silver knives and scissors in her hands cutting the white scaly roots into pieces.

Yan Xing's eyebrows twitched suddenly, this girl does have a temperament, but why is this thing so strange? looked at Yuan Rin quietly from the side, and saw that the other party was still unfazed, and immediately admired it, and deeply felt that it was the right thing to do to support the concubine who was pleasing to the eye.

"Ah Yan, what are you doing?" Yuan Rin was not only not surprised, but also walked over naturally, reached out and touched the broken hair near the corner of her forehead, it was really a bit like a master asking about the progress of his disciple's schoolwork.

"This is the root of calamus, which can extract hallucinogenic substances...... Zhu Yan replied halfway, raised his eyes and saw that Yan Xing was also there, and hurriedly changed his words, "Ahem, no, it's a toxin...... Well, that's the kind of stuff anyway. ”

In fact, she didn't have to do this at all, although Yan Xing was in the business of medicinal materials and knew a little about pharmacology, but with his admiration for Zhu Yan, it was enough for him to attribute these unintelligible terms to his own lack of understanding, and he would not think of going elsewhere at all.

"That, Miss Zhu, what happened before, Yan personally came to admit his mistake to you." Yan Xing also lowered his face, and respectfully shook it to the ground, "I already plan to straighten out the colorful wisps, and on a good day for the Dragon Boat Festival today, I will set up a banquet, and please Miss will appreciate it at noon."
