Just when people were still immersed in the shock of the emperor's anger and beheading corrupt officials, the seventh day of the seventh month of July arrived. The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl in the sky will be bridged, and the ordinary people on the ground worship the Weaver Girl.

This seventh day of the seventh month of July is also called the Begging Festival, and this day is very important for women every year, because on this day, the girls who do not go out of the door can not only go out to participate in the activities of the Begging Festival, but also have the opportunity to show their talents in front of everyone.

Early in the morning, Yahe Garden was very lively, and two days ago, because Fang Zhengyun was framed, the atmosphere of the General's Mansion and the Princess's Mansion has been very depressing. Originally, the maids thought that most of this year's begging festival would not be able to go out, and they didn't even dare to invite familiar sisters to have a lively time.

Where do you know that the peak turns around, and finally settled down with the questioning of a few people and a lot of rewards from the emperor. It's just that when everyone came back to their senses, it was already the Begging Festival, and the maids who could take turns to rest today were all overjoyed and hurriedly prepared things for the festival.

Fang Yage in Yahe Garden looked at a few green watermelons among the many things his uncle had rewarded, and suddenly an idea gradually appeared in his mind, but he hadn't made up his mind yet.

Bai Zhi saw that the county lord was so abnormal, and kept staring at a few round flowery melons, and couldn't help but wonder in her heart. In fact, it is no wonder that Angelica dahurica, because this watermelon is a tribute and is purchased from Qingze.

This watermelon can be stored for about half a month, although it is much better than lychee, but it also needs to be sent into the capital without stopping. Moreover, the watermelon is too heavy, and one person and one horse can bring seven or eight at most, so it is very rare, and Angelica Angelica does not recognize it.

"County lord, this is a melon rewarded by the emperor, it is said that it is a tribute, and there are not many in the palace. If the county lord wants to eat, the slave and maid will send it to the kitchen? The father-in-law also specially said that this melon can be chilled with well water first, which is more delicious. ”

After listening to Bai Zhi's question, Fang Yage did not answer. She had rarely seen this watermelon in the capital in her previous life, but she saw too much of it when she was in Qingze's kitchen, because this is Qingze's well-known melon and fruit, which is not rare.

"County Lord?" Bai Zhi's face was full of doubts.

"Angelica Bai, don't you prepare some fruits? Today is the Begging Festival, you can go out of the house and go shopping. ”

Bai Zhi was stunned for a moment when she heard Fang Yage's words, and then reacted that the county lord was changing the topic, but she still replied seriously: "The slave maid won't go out this year, let a few of them go out to play, and the slave and maid will accompany the county lord." ”

Bai Zhi knew that Fang Yage had never been interested in the Qiqiao Festival, but the county lord was not very skilled in female celebrity and cooking, and in addition to visiting the small stalls to relax, the most important thing at the Qiqiao Festival was to show his skills in all kinds of competitions of threading needles and threads and making cunning fruits, and to gain a good reputation, which can be said to be very beneficial to future marriages.

And for the ladies in the aristocratic circle of the capital, the ingenuity meeting held by the Yuwang Mansion is the most attractive, because if such a grand event can come out on top, it is equivalent to showing their faces in front of all the nobles in the capital.

Therefore, after the annual begging festival, there is always good news coming out. But Fang Yage is not interested in these, and he is not proficient in them, so he is unwilling to be a foil for others, and he has never participated in such a grand event in previous years.

"Bai Zhi, I want to go out for a walk this year, since I want to go out and have a good time, you can also prepare one, and then I will take a few of you to worship the Weaver Girl and pay tribute."

Fang Yage's words made Bai Zhi stunned for a moment, and after understanding for a while, she realized that the county lord was going out to celebrate the Begging Festival, and he was going to take everyone with him, and he couldn't help but be happy in his heart. The county lord is really different from before, but this change is gratifying.

"Yes, county master, the slave and maid will go and prepare immediately."

Bai Zhi just turned around, and suddenly remembered that this would not work, Yahe Yuan had to be taken care of.

"But the county lord, we are all out, who is taking care of this courtyard? I can't come back and I don't even have hot water, that's not good, I still don't go, you take a few of them out to play, I'll prepare food for everyone at home, save yourself from coming back and be busy. ”

Fang Yage wanted to laugh when she saw Bai Zhi looking like a little housekeeper, looking at her two frowns slightly, she felt even more cute, Bai Zhi is sixteen years old this year, and it's time to find someone...... Fang Yage was a little sentimental when she thought about it, after all, she was a girl who had been with her for many years, if she got married, she was really not used to it.

"Hey, I don't know which blessed person can marry you in the future, so you really don't have to worry about anything." After Fang Yage finished speaking, he looked at Bai Zhi with a smile on his eyebrows.

When Bai Zhi heard this, her little face turned red with shame, how could this county lord like to make jokes about her more and more, although it was much better than the usual serious and unruly smile before, but she couldn't stand it if she kept making jokes about her like this.

"County Lord! You ignore you like this, if you annoy me and think I'm verbose, I won't talk anymore. After speaking, he glanced at Fang Yage.

"Oh, look at you, what's so shy about this, can I keep you for the rest of my life? I have to tell the nurse to find someone to marry you quickly, and then you won't have time to take care of me. ”

Hearing Fang Yage say this, Bai Zhi suddenly felt a little sad, once she got married, she couldn't stay with the county lord all the time.

"County Lord, I won't marry, I will stay with the county lord in the future."

"Fool, if you are a few years older than me, you can still stay with me and do things even if you are married. Don't worry, I will never marry you far away, so that if there is anything unsatisfactory in the future, the county lord can still support you. ”

"Oops, county lord!"

Bai Zhi's face turned red when she heard this, and she had already begun to stomp her feet...... Fang Yage also joked enough, and turned the conversation back to what happened just now.

"A few of you go out with me, just leave a few little girls in the yard, it's still too dangerous for them to go out to play at this age, and it's easy to have accidents, so it's better to stay in the house." In addition, you go to tell the nurse that the old man will take care of her in the yard tonight, and just take care of these little girls. ”

Fang Yage had already made up his mind, so he explained things clearly. Bai Zhi nodded again and again when she heard this, but this matter still has to bother Mama Li, generally everyone has a crazy time on this begging festival, and they come back relatively late, and sometimes they don't come back until the time comes. Bai Zhi made up her mind to go back and buy more exquisite fruits for Mama Li to bring back, although it was not a valuable thing, but it was also a piece of heart.

Bai Zhi listened to Fang Yage's instructions and went everywhere to pass the news, first to tell a group of little sisters in her yard, Zhuang Jie and Banxia were quite calm when they heard it, but the active Ai Ye immediately ran towards the kitchen like the wind when she heard it, and said as she ran to make a few more tricks, and turned around to make a wish, everyone shook their heads helplessly.

Turning a corner, Bai Zhi went to Mama Li's house again, at this moment Mama Li was resting at home, and when she heard someone knocking on the door outside to call her, she immediately pulled on her shoes, tidied up her clothes and went out, and when she opened the door, she saw that it was Bai Zhi, and her already gentle face smiled brighter.

"It's Bai Zhi, come in."

After speaking, he took Bai Zhi's hand and walked into the house, and Bai Zhi had no choice but to follow in. If it weren't for today's urgency, Bai Zhi would not have found her home in person. This is for fear of delaying people's rest, and the second thing is that it is natural to be a girl with thin skin and big rules, and she is afraid that she will meet a foreign man when she enters the yard.

Fortunately, Mama Li's house is a separate small courtyard, so at most, I saw Mr. Wang and Mama Li's son, Bai Zhi inquired about Mr. Wang's going out to run errands today, and Mama Li's son was also on an errand at the back office, presumably he shouldn't be at home at this hour, so he hurriedly ran over.

Bai Zhi followed Mama Li into the courtyard, behind the main gate of the side opening is a hanging flower door, isolating the outside view, bypassing the hanging flower door can be seen to be a row of upside-down hugging buildings, built behind the courtyard wall, there are three or four. Bai Zhi knows that people who are generally more particular about building hugging buildings like this at the entrance to the door, but this inverted seat is hot in summer and cold in winter, which is not suitable for the owner, and is often used to put sundries.

Two steps further inside, there is a main entrance, from which you can see the scenery of the courtyard. The small courtyard is cleaned up neatly, there is an independent well next to the door, and a peach tree is planted on the side, which is full of peaches at the moment, and it looks very gratifying.

There is a small room next to the well, and at first glance you know that it is a kitchen, which is neatly stacked with firewood, and the stove is very clean.

Looking up, in the middle of the courtyard is a three-room wide main house, which is very wide, and there is an ear room on each side. In front of the main house is two rows of symmetrical chambers, from the ear room can directly enter the chamber, the design is more ingenious, the chamber is slightly shorter than the main room, but it is also clean and bright.

Mama Li held Bai Zhi's hand through the green and black tile hand-copied verandah into the main room, Bai Zhi's expression changed again, the wall of the main room hung the painting of the four gentlemen, below is an Arhat bed, the bed is placed in the square of the small table, the small table on the cyan bottle inserted a few lively moon season, two royal blue pillows.

Although there is no table in the main hall, there are six chairs made of pear blossom wood, which look neat but unassuming, and on both sides are the floor-to-ceiling photos of the Sanyang Kaitai pattern, one side is the bedroom, and the other side is the dining room.

Mama Li was very happy when she saw Bai Zhi's expression, it was not that she was boasting, the conditions of her own house were among the best in the house, and her house was rewarded by the eldest princess at the beginning, and ordinary people would never look down on it.

Because Mama Li wanted Bai Zhi to be her daughter-in-law, she was even more concerned, while holding her hand and sitting on the Luohan bed, she went to the dining room to bring a set of sweet white porcelain tea sets, poured a bowl of tea for Bai Zhi, and then asked, "What is the matter with the girl's visit today?" ”

When Bai Zhi heard the question, she immediately came out with the intention of 1510 in the future, and finally got up and saluted, "This matter will also bother Mama to suffer, for our sisters for one night, my sister will definitely miss Mama's love." ”

Mama Li hurriedly helped Bai Zhi up, pulled her to sit down, and said with a smile: "What's the big deal, I want you to bow and thank me, if you really want to thank me, just bring some Qiaoguo back to me." Mama Li joked about Bai Zhi.

"Mamma don't say, I'm going to bring you some back. These are not worth anything, it is our filial piety to our grandmother. Mama Li watched them grow up, and their affection was extraordinary.

A sentence picked up the words of the two, and before they knew it, the time passed, and the two mothers were talking, when they heard a voice outside the door, "Mother, I'm hungry, do you still have food at home?" ”
