Dragon boat festival
"Sister-in-law, I won't tell you, now this big house is no longer in charge of my house." Aunt Fang's face was sad.
Liu stroked her sideburns, and there was a smile on her not very good-looking face.
"I heard that the two of you are not easy to mess with now?" She said.
Hearing this, Aunt Fang was even more sad, "Well, now it's the eldest lady's housekeeper." ”
"Sister, you should regret it now, I told you to do it early, you didn't listen, it's not easy to do it now that you're older." Liu said.
Aunt Fang sighed, "When Si'er was born, I thought that when the old man was happy, he would remember that I was in charge of the family, and he would immediately help me to be the main house, but the old lady has been obstructing." ”
Liu frowned: "This old immortal of your family still wants to grasp the power in the house when he is old. ”
"Sister-in-law, I also tried, but not only did it not succeed that time, but let the old lady take away my power."
"But what about the birthday party?" Liu asked.
Aunt Fang nodded, "Yes." ”
Liu's eyes were a little reproachful and a little unbearable: "You're just too anxious, you let the maid or someone break it and then come and tell you why don't you take everyone to go, it's your fault," she sighed again, "But don't worry." Now that they are getting older, their reputation is the most important thing, and if this reputation is gone, they will not be able to find any good in-laws in the future. ”
Aunt Fang said: "I think the same way, but I tried it before, and now they are also vigilant, and it is difficult to start now." ”
Liu shook his head again, "Fame is not only innocence, if you change to a hit with a gram, the father and mother, it is the same, tomorrow during the Dragon Boat Festival, usually the rich and noble people will invite Mr. to come to the mansion, why not start here?" ”
Aunt Fang thought about it, yes, in previous years, the Xia family would invite people to come to the mansion to calculate the feng shui of the house and the good luck of the master's family, although Xia Qing is not a person who believes in ghosts and gods, but this is a custom that has always been done, as long as the old lady is in one day, this thing must be done.
"Yes, my lord also promised me a while ago that I would find someone to come and see for me." Aunt Fang was delighted, but then frowned and said, "It's just ...... How should this be done? ”
Liu Shi thought for a while: "Sister, you have a body and a brain, can you not do it, at that time, just say that they and the fetus in your womb want to let them go to Zhuangzi to live, and when you give birth to the young master, everything is stable, and then you are outside, how do you want to fight?" ”
Aunt Fang suddenly brightened up, and she couldn't close her mouth when she smiled, her sister-in-law was really her think tank.
So the two talked about their "clever plan" in detail.
I don't know here, but I also heard that someone from Aunt Fang's house seems to be her sister-in-law.
Zhiyun knew that Aunt Fang had such a sister-in-law, and she heard that she was a maid from a big family in her early years, she smiled, maybe Aunt Fang had a bad time recently, and moved to the rescue.
She doesn't care about these, if she wants to trouble her, she can't stop it, the soldiers will block, the water will cover up, she only cares about the dumplings sent to the kitchen by Bi Tao now.
She was bored waiting, so she went to Lanxiang Pavilion to find Xia Rou.
When she saw Xia Roubao's zongzi, she couldn't help but feel ashamed...... Her bags are angular and angular, unlike her......
Well, once again, she confirmed that she wasn't the material.
Xia Rou smiled and asked the maids to send the zongzi to the kitchen, and said to Zhiyun: "I know that you like sweet, so I specially made red bean paste for you." ”
Zhiyun smiled and said, "It's my sister who loves me the most." ”
After saying that, Xia Rou was about to go through the account book again, but Zhiyun stopped her and said, "My sister is not in good health, why is she busy again, it's better to wait for the zongzi to eat first." So saying, he went to pull her.
Xia Rou couldn't resist her, so she could only wait with her.
The two talked about the people who came from the house today. Xia Rou frowned, "I don't know why I'm always a little uneasy in my heart." ”
"What's uneasy, I'm just an outsider, and I can't worry about my sister, I'm here." Zhiyun patted his chest, looking like he was the backbone of his heart.
Xia Rou was helplessly pulled by her and sat down. But there is still no way to suppress the uneasiness in my heart.
The hot zongzi were sent to the courtyards, and the zongzi from Yunshuiju and Lanxiangge were sent to Mrs. Xia's courtyard first.
During the Dragon Boat Festival, everyone is celebrating the festival in their own way, rich people worship their ancestors, divinate houses, hang incense sachets, tie five-color ropes, eat zongzi, and even set up banquets. People who don't have money simply eat their own zongzi with their families.
Every year, Luohu holds a dragon boat race. Many people go to watch the dragon boat race at noon. The Xia family is no exception.
In the hall, the people in the big room and the third room of the Xia family have already arrived, the old lady Xia is old and is not suitable for going to a place with so many people, and the third room Xia Yuansong is too young, so he followed the old lady in the house, and the rest of the people decided to go together.
Today, Xia Mengshu is also among them, in previous years, she would not go to places with so many people, because she was not in good health, but this year she unexpectedly followed.
There were still quite a lot of people on the street, and the carriage could not move forward quickly, and when they reached a street in front of Luohu, everyone got out of the carriage. Decided to walk to see it.
Bi Tao helped Zhiyun get out of the carriage, only to hear someone behind him calling him.
She turned her head to see that it was Xia Mengshu in a simple long dress, her face was still not very good, but she applied lipstick slightly, and it was not too pale.
"Second sister, there are too many people in front, I don't dare to go alone, can you go with me?" She asked.
Zhiyun smiled: "It's okay." ”
Xia Sisi naturally didn't go with them, Xia Qing and Xia Bo walked in the front, and the Xu family didn't come out at home. So Zhiyun Xia Rou and Xia Mengshu walked together.
Xia Rou is not close to this fourth sister so she doesn't talk much, Zhiyun also occasionally answers a few words and does not take the initiative, Xia Sisi seems to have deliberately come to the front to say something to Xia Qing in order to get closer to Xia Qing.
Along the way, everyone thinks about it, although it is a family, it seems to be very estranged, Zhiyun saw it in her eyes, and she had already guessed the ending, she knew the coldness of the Xia family.
There were more and more people, but fortunately, their group came early, and they would not be squeezed very back, and they could still see the scene of Luohu Lake clearly.
By this time there were already four or five convoys ready, and as soon as noon came, the trumpeter blew the horn and the drums sounded to join the race.
After waiting for a quarter of an hour, the trumpeter blew his horn, and the drummer's drum sounded, and the five flotillas rushed out in unison, accompanied by a burst of roars, applause and applause. Everyone applauded the grand occasion of the five boats at this time!
Zhiyun couldn't help but applaud, and at this moment, she seemed to see a silver mask flash not far to the left. She was stunned, unsure, and when she looked for it carefully, there was no trace, and she thought she should have seen it wrong. Shaking his head, he continued to look at the dragon boat race.
A team of dragon boat teams wearing yellow catties rushed to the front and won the first place today.
The rough, swarthy middle-aged man seemed to be the leader of the group, holding a colorful head and shouting. The mood of the crowd also rose. Although some teams did not enter the rankings, they were not sad and sad, and the competition was just for fun, and everyone focused on participating.
After the dragon boat race, everyone dispersed and went home to prepare for the next thing.
The people of the Xia family also got into their respective carriages. Zhiyun in the car was still thinking about the glimpse just now, and Bi Tao was still talking about the grand scene of the dragon boat race just now outside the carriage, and she was very elated.
When they returned to Xia's mansion, everyone went to ask Mrs. Xia for peace, and Xia Qing picked up the wormwood soaked in the well water, symbolically waved it, and distributed it to everyone, and the children needed to be worn by their fathers himself. So Xia Qing pinned the cut wormwood leaves to Xia Rou, Zhiyun and Xia Sisi's heads.
Then wear a sachet and a colorful rope, and after a series of does, you will be left with the house.
Someone from the next person came to spread the word, and the gentleman who often came in previous years wandered away, and today it is his apprentice who has Yun Dao Chang.
At this time, everyone was in the hall, Zhiyun was stunned for a moment when she heard the news, and subconsciously looked at Xia Sisi over there, but saw that she was not abnormal, but Aunt Fang seemed to be very happy when she smiled. The Liu family did not come to participate in these activities of the Xia family, after all, he was just an outsider.
After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, Youyun Daoist came to the hall. Maybe these Taoist priests like to come late, so that they can appear a little different.
This Youyun Daoist looks quite young, with a square face, looks righteous and awe-inspiring, holding a whisk, and looks really like that.
Zhiyun looked at this Youyun Daoist, and couldn't help sneering in her heart, in fact, there was nothing worth noting, but she felt that Aunt Fang's smile was too dazzling and too proud.
This Youyun Dao Chief frowned as soon as he entered the Xia Mansion Hall.
Xia Qing went up to entertain him, "It's an honor for the little master to come to Xia Mansion today, is Daoist Yu He's in good health this year?" ”
Yuzuru is a Taoist priest who has been coming to the summer house for divination in previous years. The people of Xia Mansion still believe it, this little master looks young, and I don't know if he has that ability.
Youyun Dao Chang seemed to see his concerns, and the copper coin sword parted behind him, strode forward, and didn't say much to Xia Qing. He walked down the hall.
Xia Qing knew that these Taoist priests were a little arrogant in it, and he didn't care about it, although he was a little unhappy in his heart, he didn't say it, he just wanted to take the money and send them away after it was over quickly. It's really not too much of a literati to be angry with a Taoist priest.
Youyun didn't talk much nonsense, he entered the state directly, and began to look around, sometimes pinching his fingers with his hand and calculating, and sometimes waving the copper coin sword.
even pasted the yellow rune paper somewhere, and the yellow rune pasted on it burned instantly, and everyone believed it when they saw his kung fu.
