Chapter 183: Tanabata (Two-in-One Fat Chapter Seeking Pink)
Because the Fang family's proposal was rejected, she was a little wary of being dumb; Thinking of the second brother's faint disappointment after learning that he was rejected, he couldn't help but look at Qingmu carefully to see what she was proud of.
After some observation, I have to admit that Qingmu is a good girl.
She took the initiative to talk to Qingdu, and said how her family and uncle and cousin admired her, etc.
Dumb waited for her to finish before modestly saying "pass the award".
Seeing that the two sides were fine, everyone was disappointed, and focused their minds on Douqiao.
This is a girl's skill. There are also those who bring their own embroidery, and there are also those who bring their own brocade, and more are carved melons, flowers and fruits on the spot. I saw that there were a lot of fashionable melons and fruits on the big table, as well as knives, for the girls who participated in the fight. After receiving the required materials, I went to the side to operate.
This kind of competition is mostly for the little girls who participated in the begging meeting for the first time, and people like Xie Yinyue and Yan Weiyang will not participate. First, they have long been famous, and there is no need to prove their dexterity here, and secondly, they don't want to compete with the little girls.
The carved gourd should be sent to the opposite side for the teenagers to taste, both for the evaluation and for the entertainment fun, so everyone is extra careful, for fear that they will be too ugly to be laughed at.
Qing Mu had never seen this meeting, and he was full of interest.
"Miss Guo, do you want to give it a try?" Xia Liuying asked with a smile.
"I won't do this." Dumb and honest.
She was standing beside Shen Hanmei, watching her show off her skills.
Xia Liuying saw that she was so honest, but it was not good to say anything more, so she went with her.
For a while, I saw that you came and went to take melons and fruits in the flower hall, and there were carved ones that caused everyone to marvel, and there were carved ones that came again, which was very lively.
I saw Shen Hanmei carving a cow with a honeydew melon. A pig, dumb and smiling.
Yan Weiyang lost his voice and said: "How can you carve such a stupid thing?" It's like it's like that. ”
Shen Hanmei blushed and didn't explain.
Qiao'er asked for flowers, so she carved another peony flower for her.
At one time, the flowers and melons carved by everyone were sent to the opposite side, and their works were marked.
On the opposite side is presided over by Xia Weaving's concubines, Third Young Master Xia and Fourth Young Master Xia.
His brother is only a teenager, and it is when he loves to play and make trouble, and he uses to mingle with these rich children every day. Very deed. Today, we are naturally warmly welcomed.
Seeing that the flowers and melons were delivered, Young Master Xia San hurriedly beckoned the teenagers to come and watch.
That Guo Dagui saw the pink cows and pigs on the plate. Regardless of the number of courtesies, he immediately brought it over and said, "This cow is good, and the carving is exactly the same as my big buffalo." This pig is good. ”
boasting in his mouth. Without waiting for others to take a closer look, he picked it up and took a bite first.
Fang Ze was familiar with him. Hurriedly shouted: "Give me half of it, why did you eat it all!" ”
Guo Dagui said vaguely: "I can eat, it's okay to eat a cow." ”
The crowd burst into laughter.
Fourth Young Master Xia smiled: "Third Master Guo is so greedy!" ”
Guo Dagui didn't care, he ate a cow in two bites.
Fang wants to take the pig. He took it first, "I can still eat a pig!" ”
Rule: "......"
Han Xiyi looked at the label under the plate, and it turned out to be carved by Shen Hanmei.
It dawned on him. Yin smiled: "It turned out to be carved by Miss Shen." ”
And all the people came to their senses.
The marriage between the Shen family and the Guo family is just around the corner, and he is blamed for being like this.
Han Xiyi said with a smile: "The world says, 'Play the piano to the cow'." The implication does not make sense; Today, this cow is 'sympathetic (qin) Dali', obviously not an ordinary cow, comparable to the old cow of the cowherd-" Everyone laughed when they heard it, and they all felt that what he said was exquisite, so they heard Han Xiyi ask Guo Dagui again-"It's just Brother Guo, how can you know that this cow was carved by Miss Shen when you look at it?" Could it be that there is something mysterious in it? ”
Fang Ze shouted, "They must have said it first." ”
Guo Dagui shook his head violently, refusing to admit it.
It turned out that before coming here, he heard about Douqiao, so he muttered, "It's not all about eating melons and fruits, so why bother." Shen Hanmei said that he didn't know it, saying that the melons and fruits he carved tasted different, and said coquettishly: "I'll carve a cow for you to eat when I go back, and I'll kill you!" Carve another pig ......"
Therefore, as soon as he saw the cow, he knew that it was carved by Shen Hanmei.
Because his flowers and melons are very delicate things, such as flowers, flowers, even carving animals and carving some beautiful small animals, no one carves cows, and no one carves pigs!
Guo Dagui was sweet in his heart, and felt that the taste of this cowmelon was really different.
Of course, it is not because of the good carving, but because Shen Hanmei personally carved it!
Fang looked everywhere, but he didn't see the dumb carved flower melon, and it was not easy to ask.
However, Young Master Zeng asked the maid with a smile: "Why did Miss Guo carve it?" ”
The maid shook her head and replied, "The slave doesn't know. It doesn't seem to be carved. ”
Everyone looked at Guo Dagui.
Xie Tianliang also came, and then sneered: "No carving? No way! ”
The tone seemed to say, "Isn't it a pair of skillful hands?" Not even carved melons! ”
Guo Dagui said angrily: "My little sister's tea and rice skills are not worse than those of Drunken Immortal Building." But our family cuts melons and vegetables for eating, not for watching and playing! ”
In his heart, these rich daughters are completely full of food and have nothing to do, and they are so idle that they carve melons to play, and it is because of this that he quarreled with Shen Hanmei before. What kind of tricks, who in the countryside has the leisure to do this! Although Qingmu can't carve melons, her knife skills in cutting vegetables are first-class, and he doesn't think she can't carve these things after practice.
So he didn't think it was anything to boast about.
Han Xiyi smiled when he heard this: "Brother Guo is really speaking. This is not coarse. ”
Fang Chu also nodded secretly, feeling that Guo Dagui had a clear heart.
Xie Tianliang thought that Han Xiyi was saving face for Guo Dagui, and laughed: "Poor and sour! ”
Guo Dagui sneered: "My family is poor and sour, and I never steal from others!" ”
Everyone was stunned at first, but quickly reacted, and their eyes showed different colors.
Xie Tianliang saw that something was wrong from everyone's eyes, and he was immediately annoyed and angry, and he was about to attack, but he heard Fang Chu shout in a deep voice: "Tianliang! He looked at him with a warning in his eyes.
Xie Tianliang also knew that he had no face when he said it, and he was also a little afraid of Fang Chu; I felt alienated from everyone's expressions, and realized the gap between the situation of Xie Guo's two families, so I had to suppress my resentment and didn't dare to say it anymore.
He saw Guo Dagui talking and laughing freely with people. Thinking that the poor peasant family of the Guo family actually climbed up, and in the process of climbing, he actually stepped on the top of the Xie family's head, and the jealousy in his heart was like waves crashing on the shore, and he hated to kill him immediately to relieve his hatred.
Fang Ze had also had several contacts with Xie Tianliang in previous years, and today he began to see his heart, and he sneered at the sound of "poor sourness". Guo Dagui replied wonderfully, "My family is poor and sour." Never steal from anyone! When he heard this, he couldn't help but blush for Xie Tianliang. From this, I deeply realized the embarrassing state of mind of the eldest brother as the son-in-law of the Xie family.
He blamed this qiē on the second room of the Xie family, so he ignored Xie Tianliang.
Fang Chuchu was inexplicably upset.
He looked across the shore and wondered what was the purpose of this beggar meeting?
I want to leave first. But there is always an unfinished meaning, and I can't take a step.
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Third Young Master Xia hurriedly coughed and said, "Evaluate first, or eat first?" has Guo Sanye in front of him as an example. Why don't we eat and comment today. -- It's good to be eaten first. ”
Everyone laughed when they heard this, and they all said that it was so good that they were reluctant to eat, so what should they do.
In the midst of the noise. Say this is good, and say that the ......
As Guo Dagui said, carving these things is just for fun, and it is a lively picture. When the maids went back to the other side, they said. The flowers and melons were eaten, and the women were not only not depressed, but all smiled shyly.
It's hard for people to ask who ate what they made. And he asked who had eaten whom.
The maids were dumbfounded, so many people. How they remember!
But Guo Dagui's scene of snatching a cow and a pig left a deep impression on them, because he replied: "I don't know anything else, Miss Shen's carved cows and pigs are all eaten by Guo Sanye." ”
Yan Weiyang laughed loudly when he heard it.
All the women laughed aloud.
Shen Hanmei blushed and bowed her head silently.
Xie Yinyue looked at her and thought, the Guo and Shen families are really going to get married!
Seeing Shen Hanmei's embarrassment, Qing Du hurriedly pulled her to the side to teach herself to fold the river lantern.
The Qiqiao Festival, also known as the Chinese Valentine's Day, is the day when the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl meet. Legend has it that in order to be afraid that the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl would not be able to see the Magpie Bridge when they met, people put river lanterns in the river to illuminate him. This custom also symbolizes people's yearning for beautiful love, especially for young girls.
Therefore, the Xia family is particular about arranging the begging meeting in the Lotus Hall.
The cheapest is to put river lanterns in the river.
And there are teenagers watching on the other side of the river, which adds a charming color to this event.
Shen Hanmei is really skillful, and the river lanterns she makes are very exquisite.
In doing this, she forgot what she had just done and taught her to be dumb with all her heart.
Qingdu also studied very seriously, and decided to fold a river lantern himself.
If nothing else, just this ancient folklore.
She likes a qiē folklore thing.
She not only folded herself, but also taught Qiao'er to fold.
Under Shen Hanmei's dedicated teaching, the dumb aunt and nephew both folded the river lantern, took the candle, and walked down the stone steps to the bottom of the river to put it, and the little sister stood aside and guarded.
Squatted down, lit the candle dumbly and placed it in the middle of the river lamp, and as soon as his hand was released, it floated away leisurely down the water. Watching it drift farther and farther away, he silently prayed for the safety and health of his parents and family in both worlds.
"Sister-in-law, let me go." Qiao'er called out urgently.
Qingmu helped her to stabilize the candle, lit it, and let her put it into the river by herself.
"Make a wish." She taught Qiao'er.
"What is a wish?" Qiao'er asked.
"What you want most." Qing Mu thought for a moment.
"That'...... I want a lot of silver! Qiao'er said immediately.
Qing Mu was shocked by the little niece's obsession with money.
She wanted to teach her a few words, but she didn't know where to start.
In the past two years, the family has been busy for silver, how to say?
Qiao'er carefully held the river lantern and placed it in the river, watching it float away, and cheered in a low voice.
She muttered in a low voice, "Boat, boat, come back with a lot of silver!" ”
Dumb and smiling, I couldn't bear to interrupt her.
She didn't think the little girl was vulgar, on the contrary, she thought she was cute.
At that time, there were many young girls by the river who were putting river lanterns.
On the surface of the river, the river lanterns and water lotus complement each other, which is beautiful.
Under the verandah opposite, Fang Chu looked at this qiē quietly, the tall and short figures were particularly obvious in the shadowy crowd, and he seemed to hear her low chuckle.
Of course, this is an illusion, in fact, only Qiao'er is laughing.
That's when the teenagers have to join the fun.
As usual, Han Xiyi was pushed out first and gave a for everyone.
He played "Morning Glory".
The melodious and low sound of the flute seems to be lamenting the tragedy of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, and admiring their unwavering love. The sound of the flute urged the river lantern, and the sound and color were complete, and the legend in people's hearts came out vividly, as if they really saw the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl meeting on the Magpie Bridge.
"Really moving......"
There was a low whisper.
Instead of looking at the sky, they looked at the arched bridge across the river.
There is no one on the arch bridge, but everyone has it in their hearts!
After the song, there was no cheering, only moving!
Han Xiyi looked at the other side and thought, "You won't talk about me today, will you?" ”
He refers to the last time he judged the song he played.
On the other side, Qingmu did think that he was blowing very touchingly tonight, and she listened very carefully.
Obviously, there were many people present, she felt the tranquility of the quiet night, heard the whispers of men and women when they met in the night, felt the tenderness and sweetness between them, and suddenly remembered the past with Jiang Minghui, and hurriedly contracted her thoughts, refusing to think further.
At this moment, there was a voice from there, but it was Xia Liuying who asked Xie Yinyue to play the piano.
Xie Yinyue has to play the piano at the begging meeting every year to cheer up.
This is also the reason why she is admired by Xia Liuying: although she presides over the begging meeting every year, there is still some distance from the businesswomen, only Xie Yinyue is a businesswoman but she is outstanding and very good, so she has to look at her with high eyes.
Other girls also worship Xie Yinyue because of this.
Xie Yinyue said, "It's better for Miss Xia to come first." ”
Xia Liuying smiled: "What is the girl pushing with me?" It's because I'm not as good as others that I have to bother the girl. Don't be modest, just go, I'll take the girl's affection. Look at everyone, they are all waiting for a feast. ”
She is detached, she does nothing, and no one underestimates her.
She doesn't compete with other women, so she shows her bearing and open-mindedness, and she is different from these people.
Xie Yinyue also knew her thoughts, so she no longer shirked and agreed.
The piano is not played in the flower hall, but in a pavilion by the water.
The pavilion is divided into two floors, connected by steps.
Xie Yinyue wants to go to the upper floor, so as to avoid the impact of noisy voices.
The purpose of building such a water pavilion was to enjoy the scenery in spring and cool in summer; And because it is easy to feel open to the dust in high places, and the sound is also easier to transmit, so people who play the piano and flute also love to come.
At that moment, Jinxiu followed behind Xie Yinyue with the guqin and walked to the steps.
As her master and servant ascended, the breeze blew her clothes up, like a fairy, and everyone on both sides of the strait was already admiring; When Xie Yinyue entered the pavilion and sat down, plucked the strings, and disappeared up and down, only the sound of water and wind remained between heaven and earth.
At the right time, the right time, Xie Yinyue's play is also "Morning Glory".
Compared with the dongxiao, the guqin has another artistic conception that dilutes the long-term distance.
When the last touch of the tail note disappeared into the sky, there was still silence on both sides of the strait, and there were even girls with tears on their faces, which showed that it was moving.
Xie Yinyue stepped down from the water pavilion, and everyone gathered around her to praise her.
She smiled slightly, unimpressed.
At this time, a girl suddenly said: "Miss Guo is the first person in the brocade conference, she was modest and didn't carve melons before, do you also want to play something for us, so that we can see and understand?" ”
When everyone watched, it was Feng Peishan, a girl from the Feng family.
The Feng family is the Feng family that is attached to the Xie family.
The women's hearts moved, and they hurriedly looked at Qingdu.
