In the early morning of September, the chrysanthemums in the Xie family's garden were about to bloom, and the servants who took care of the flowers and plants began to be busy arranging the flowers and branches early, and the sound of footsteps came from the mist.

"The eldest lady is here." They hurriedly spoke, and they all got out of the way, looking in one direction.

A thin girl strode from the mist, she was wearing a shirt and trousers, she looked slender and tall, her hair was slightly scattered, her hair was wet with sweat and stuck to her face, and she was shining in the morning light.

"The eldest lady is amazing."

"It's really hard for the eldest lady to insist on running like this every day."

The servants gave their salutes.

Xie Rouhui nodded at them with a smile and ran over.

The girls in front and behind also followed with a whirl.

"Clean the road, and don't see a stone." The two servants said to the sprinkling ladies on the side, "You have tripped the eldest lady, can you bear it?" ”

They can't afford to lose their lives!

The sprinklers were busy carrying brooms, eager to scrape off the entire ground.

"How long will the eldest lady run like this?" Someone muttered, "I'm so tired." ”

I don't know if it's because the eldest lady is too tired or if they are too tired to be so cautious.

When Xie Rouhui washed and changed her clothes and came to Mrs. Xie's side, the flush on her face had not yet dissipated, and her wheezing was a little uneven.

"Is that okay?" Xie Wenxing frowned and said, "Run in the morning, then dance all day, and practice more at night, I used to be able to rest for two days for three days, but now there is no day to rest, can I stay up?" ”

Xie Rouhui smiled at him.

"I can hold on." She said with a grin.

Mrs. Xie came out of the inner room.

"Why can't you stay up?" She said, "Everyone comes here like this, do you think it's easy to do a sacrificial dance?" It's not just about jumping well or not, it's about being decent. ”

Xie Rouhui got up and called out to her mother, and Mrs. Xie sat down.

"I remember my grandmother once said that my great-grandmother once danced a full sacrifice dance." She continued.

"All the Sacrifice Dance?" Xie Rouhui said in surprise, "Are you going to dance the full sacrifice dance for half a day?" ”

Now the sacrificial dance is a dance that expresses the story between Da Wuqing and the mountain god, only the mountain god is sacrificed, and the content of the whole sacrificial dance can be more, tracing the ancient thinking first, sacrificing the gods of heaven and earth, wind and rain, thunder, lightning, mountains, stones, woods, volcanoes, rivers, etc., praying for not only the safety of the miners, but also the blessings of wind and rain, etc., which is not only an hour can do.

Mrs. Xie nodded.

"The whole sacrificial dance for half a day is not the most powerful, my grandmother also said that in ancient times, the great witch begged for rain, whether it was not about dancing for a day or half a day, but until the rain came, if the rain did not come." She said stop here.

"What if the rain doesn't come? Keep jumping? Xie Rouhui hurriedly asked.

"I won't let you jump all the time, but only for three days." Mrs. Xie said, and smiled slightly, "If there is no rain for three days, the witch will be burned to death to express the most devout prayer to the gods." ”

Xie Rouhui's mouth opened slightly, obviously startled.

"But isn't Wu very respected? How can you still be burned to death? She said.

"Why is Wu respected, is because he can communicate with heaven and earth to express his demands, heaven and earth no longer listen to his prayers, naturally he has a mistake, and of course he will be punished if he makes a mistake." Mrs. Xie smiled and picked up the chopsticks, "Okay, this is all the previous story, let's eat." ”

Xie Rouhui nodded with a smile and picked up the dishes and chopsticks.

"Mother, I must dance well, as well as my great-great-grandmother." She said.

Mrs. Xie smiled.

"Oh, you're saying your mother and I can't dance well?" She feigned displeasure and said.

Xie Rouhui chuckled, reached out and hugged her mother's arm and shook it.

Seeing the mother and daughter happy, Xie Wenxing also smiled.

"Let's eat, and we have to go to school." He laughed.

Xie Rouhui smiled at her father and nodded.

"Thank you, father, for feeling sorry for me." She said with a grin.

"yes, I don't feel sorry for you." Mrs. Xie said angrily.

The laughter rose again.

Xie Rouhui felt that she couldn't stop laughing, looking at her parents left and right, they only had themselves in their eyes, full of themselves, and there was no one else except themselves.

This family should be like this, there shouldn't be anyone else in the first place, although it's late, but it's finally normal.

Xie Rouhui wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief and picked up chopsticks.

After a few bites, the girl came in and said that the second master was here.

Xie Wenxing hurriedly put down the dishes and chopsticks and welcomed him out.

"Has the second brother eaten?" Mrs. Xie sat motionless and asked through the curtain.

Xie Wenchang sighed.

"I've eaten it, I've eaten it." He said, while following Xie Wenxing to the east room and sat down, "I'll read the book for a while, and you can eat, big brother." ”

"No, I'm done." Xie Wenxing said, asking him what was wrong.

"People from the mine said that the eldest aunt likes to go to the mine recently." Xie Wenchang said.

Mrs. Xie likes to go to the mine very much?

Grandmother? Xie Rouhui stopped the chopsticks in her hand and listened with her ears up, what do you like very much? Like that girl?

On the mine? Mrs. Xie also stopped her chopsticks.

"What is she going to do there?" She asked.

"The people in the mine said it was fine, just to go and see." Xie Wenchang said, raising his voice so that Mrs. Xie here could hear it sincerely, and laughed as he spoke, "The eldest aunt is still eating with the miners in the mine." ”

Everyone knows this kind of means of sympathizing with subordinates to win people's hearts.

Mrs. Xie was unimpressed.

"It's okay, my mother can be regarded as having something to do." She said.

Xie Rouhui ate the rice one by one, and suddenly raised her head.

"Go to the mine, is it the idea that the cousin of the Shao family came up with? It's really nice to have the Shao family's cousin with her grandmother, and her grandmother must be very happy. She said with a grin.

Cousin of the Shao family! Accompany Grandmother! Very happy!

Mrs. Xie's face suddenly fell, she put down the dishes and chopsticks, got up and walked out.

Outside, Xie Wenchang heard this, his expression became uncomfortable, and he stood up to greet him.

"I don't know about this, I'll ask." He said.

"It's good for you to ask, after all, my mother is old and has a problem with alcoholism, and the place in the mine is not suitable for her, and the mines in Yushan are all old mines, and they are the most prone to accidents." Mrs. Xie said lightly, "It's good for young people to want to do something, but it's better to do things by yourself, and it's not interesting to rely on tricking others to make profits for yourself." ”

Xie Wenchang's face was embarrassed.

"I'll let the Shao family take him back, this kid is disobedient at home, so let him come out to exercise, but I didn't expect it to be more and more out of tune." He said.

"Hey, why take it back, since I promised him to go to Yushan, how can I not talk without words, am I still afraid that he will not be able to make this child?" Mrs. Xie said with a smile.

Xie Wenchang left, and Mrs. Xie didn't come in to eat again.

"Jiajia will be thirteen in the New Year, so it's better to settle her relationship with the Shao family." Xie Wen said abruptly.

Mrs. Xie turned around and sneered.

"Why should I let them get their way?" "Because they're dissatisfying me?" she said. ”

Xie Wenxing sighed.

"What do you say you're betting on a child?" He said, "You don't want to see her, it's not right to go away." ”

The bead curtain rang chaotically, Xie Rouhui looked up and saw Mrs. Xie and Xie Wenxing going to the house over there, she smiled slightly and lowered her head to continue eating.

…………………………………………………

"You go back to your brother right away, and let him get people away for me no matter what."

In the courtyard of the second master, Xie Rouqing, who had originally come to greet his parents, stood under the porch and listened to his father's roar.

"What else do you say about kissing and kissing, it will always be good, and I hope that there will be a few more waterways to share." Xie Wenchang paced back and forth, blowing his beard and glaring, "Enjoy a fart, since he came, how many things have been provoked, and everything has become an enemy." ”

Shaw was anxious and aggrieved.

"How do you think it's the old lady who is bewitched by Mingqing? Besides, who made you promise to let him go to Yushan? She said, "If you don't like him, why do you promise him!" ”

"It's all thanks to your brother's such a clever son."

Xie Wenchang was even more angry.

"How smart, I still have to be in charge of the Xie family's affairs, or I know best, I don't need to ask his father, coax me to take him to see my eldest brother stupidly."

"Who would have thought that he had another idea in his heart, touted to the eldest brother and sister-in-law, put the two of them on the high shelf, and turned his head to say that I was going to Yushan to draw the ladder, and the eldest brother and sister-in-law were put on the shelf, what else could he do if he didn't agree!"

"You go and tell your brother now, if you don't take people away, your relatives won't have to do it in the future!"

Xie Rouqing hurriedly turned around and retreated, hearing the sound of the door curtain, Shao Shi hurriedly walked out, and he didn't even bother to put on his cloak.

"Prepare the car, prepare the car." The girls also hurriedly shouted, while tying the cloak to the Shaw family.

The people in the courtyard turned over on their backs.

Xie Rouqing turned around and left through the corner door on the side.

Before I reached the school, I heard the sound of drums.

Xie Rouqing couldn't help but stand still and looked at a room on the left.

It was a place where the girls who were selected to play the drums for the festival practiced their drums, and since that day, everyone has been able to learn dance and drum music together instead of dancing and playing drums as before.

"Miss?" Seeing her standing still, the girl hurriedly reminded in a low voice.

Xie Rouqing retracted her gaze and walked forward with the girl into the dance hall.

There were already a lot of girls in the school, but compared to before, the room still seemed empty, and after the selection, there were only ten girls left, all around Xie Rouhui at this time.

"Third sister, you're here." Xie Yao saw the first wave of a smile at her.

Everybody has seen it.

"Why are you late?" Xie Yao said, holding Xie Rouqing's arm.

"It's fine." Xie Rouqing said simply.

"Mr. also said, don't be nervous, dance is not something that can be danced well with more practice." Xie Rouhui said with a smile, "The third sister is the best, according to what Mr. said, the time to come and go is not in a hurry." ”

Which one can be selected is not a good jump, and who serves whom? What's more, Xie Rouqing was able to be selected because of Xie Rouhui's intercession.

The girls pursed their lips, and looked at Xie Rouqing's eyes even more displeased.

"Rouqing, I can't jump well if I have a movement, you can teach me." A girl said.

Xie Rouqing looked at her.

"I'm not as good as you dance." She said.

"How can it be, you are too modest, if you don't dance well, won't we be even worse." The girl grinned and said, "You ......"

Before she finished her words, Xie Rouqing turned around and left.

The girls were stunned.

"Third sister, you are..."Xie Yao hurriedly shouted, "Are you angry?" ”

Then he turned his head to look at the girl who had just spoken.

"How do you speak? Apologize to her quickly. ”

The girl's face turned red and white.

"I, what did I say? I didn't say anything, can't I praise her? She said aggrievedly.

The girls were arguing here, and Xie Rouqing stopped again and turned her head.

"No, it's not about her." She said, "I don't want to jump today, I'm going to ask for leave." ”

Leave?

The girls were even more stunned.

It's September now, except for the holidays and New Year's holidays, monthly rest days, etc., they still have a maximum of five months to practice dancing, which is already nervous enough, and anyone dares to ask for leave?

Xie Yao smiled.

"Sure enough, the third sister danced well, we don't dare to compare." She said.

"Okay, don't say anything, let's start practicing dance, don't look at others, look at yourself." Xie Rouhui said with a smile.

The girls answered.

"Megumi is right." Everyone laughed and slowly dispersed.

"Xie Rouqing, what is she arrogant, I really think I dance well."

"She should dance, I see that she also goes to watch other people's drums."

"Oh, by the way, I heard she likes to play the drums the most."

"No, then how could she come to dance."

The girls' low voices came, and Xie Rouhui stood up straight and raised her arms.

Love to play drums? So what?

Why do you want to do what you want? Because you're not doing anything for me?

She slowly bent down, looking at the soft and slender figure in the bronze mirror, with a slight smile on the corner of her mouth.

……………………………………………

There was two knocks on the door, Shao Mingqing turned his head, and looked at Xie Roujia poking his head in the bright sunlight.

"Cousin, what are you busy with?" She asked with a grin.
