Chinese New Year's Eve, folk customs: planting peach branches, pasting spring books, hanging spring flags...... Walk away.

The east had just revealed the white of the fish's belly, and it emitted a cold light, like a virus, and slowly the whole earth was covered by that cold light.

At this time, the promise who came to the suburbs, wrapped tightly in a cloak and cotton hat, followed behind Suningke, restlessly looking left and right, and from time to time he was implicated.

walked to the edge of the field where peach trees were planted, promised to look at the endless peach forest in front of him, and found people shuttling through the forest, a man with jewels; There are men with unearthly temperament; There are men with elegant manners, looking at the bare branches, as if they were choosing something precious, looking left and right.

"Brother, why do they just circle around the peach tree and not break the peach branches?"

"Oh, this peach branch! It needs to be illuminated by today's sun. Suning stopped his pace and turned his head to explain to Xu Promise.

"Isn't that going to have to wait a while?"

"Well, looks like we'll have to wait a while." He looked up at the sky and said.

When he looked down at the promise, he felt that something was wrong, and asked with a frown, "Where is your hat?" ”

"Ao, I got into the carriage, when I came just now, Mama Qiu specially instructed me!"

"Go and get it for your girl, here are the older men in the family." Suning said anxiously to Youlan on the side.

"Yes, Childe." Youlan lifted the corner of her skirt and ran back in a hurry.

But after a while, Youlan took the hat and wanted to take off the cotton hat on the promise's head, and the promise immediately shook his head and looked at Suning Ke pitifully.

"Brother, can you not wear a hat? You see that my hat is also tightly protected, and I said that this hat and cloak are a set, and it doesn't look good just to wear a cloak! It's like a teapot with other teacups, it's not good-looking. ”

"Yes! No, you can't show your face before you leave the cabinet, don't worry, the hat will cover your cloak. ”

Xu Yu looked at Youlan, took off the cotton hat, and then put on the hat, and thought that he had counted Mama Qiu again, what is the different surname, I need to fold a bunch of peach branches by myself, in order to avoid the place where I live, to attract ghosts.

Xu Promise looked at the hat she had brought, just as Su Ning said, the long white gauze scarf covered the promise tightly, and there was only a pair of embroidered shoes, which would be exposed from time to time when she walked.

"Uncle, I want this branch."

Hearing Suning speak, did the sun come out in his heart? She curiously used her hands to open the white veil of the hat, peeked through the gap, and saw an old farmer standing under the peach tree, his body blocked, and the morning glow that came over, holding scissors in his hand, was cutting a bunch of peach branches and handed it to Suningke.

Just as the old farmer was about to leave, Suning hurriedly called him.

He turned his head to the promise and said, "You choose one branch, and the southeast is the best." ”

Xu Yu raised his slender and somewhat frozen red hand, gently stroked the white yarn in front of him, looked up, and stretched out his hand to point to a branch not far in front of him.

Turning his head to Suning, he said, "Just want that branch!" ”

"Uncle, I'm tired, that branch." Suning Ke bowed his head to the old farmer and said with a bow.

"Nothing, nothing." The old farmer handed the peach branch to Su Ningke, bowed his hand and said.

promised to take it, and Suning handed over the peach branch.

Just as he was about to leave, he saw Su Ningke, who took out two red purses from the short and narrow cuffs of his white brocade and gold silk robe.

He walked under the peach tree, raised his hand, and hung the two purses on the broken branches that had just been cut.

Promise looked at the purse that seemed to contain something, and it fell straight down.

"Brother, what are you doing here?"

When he came to Xu Promise's side, Suning listened to her question, and explained gently: "This is for Kuafu." ”

"Uh, why?"

"After being dying of thirst, his rod turned into Dunlin. Legend has it that Kuafu obtained eternal life by turning into a peach forest, and some people say that peaches represent longevity; Some people say that the peach represents many children and grandchildren; Some people also say that the peach is a fairy tree, which can drive away evil spirits and avoid ghosts. Suning explained as he walked forward.

"Oh! Do you want to hang your purse on it all the time? ”

"Why, at noon, they worshipped Kuafu, and then they took it down."

"Oooh!"

The cold wind blew, and the white veil in front of Xu Xu was gently lifted, and she raised her black grape-like eyes, and saw Suning Ke wearing a white brocade mink velvet cloak, walking in the morning light, with a silver crown on her head, like a traveling fairy, not stained with dust, she was fascinated for a while, and responded in a trance.

A quarter of an hour later, when he returned to Su's house, he got out of the carriage, shook the peach branch in his hand, and said to Mama Qiu: "Mother Qiu, I folded it, you go to Qingfeng Pavilion and plug it in!" ”

"Yes, girl. Girl, you can go back to Nuan Nuan and help out! ”

"Yes! It's okay, they all froze me to death. ”

Suning got out of the car and heard the words of the master and servant, so he promised him: "Go back and be warm!" It's not busy. ”

Promise turned his head, just wanted to ask, is it okay? I heard Suningke's words. She happily pulled Mama Qiu, jumped into Su's house, and ran towards Qingfeng Pavilion.

"Girl, slow down, wait for me." Youlan shouted after him.

Mama Qiu, who was being pulled, also persuaded: "Girl, slow down." ”

Xu Yu looked at them, lost Mama Qiu, and ran away with a smile.

Su Ningke, who was standing at the door, looked at Xu Yu jumping and jumping, and shook his head helplessly with a smile.
