Chapter 20 Unembroidered hydrangeas
In the early morning of that day, Wei Shihao had just walked into the door of the workshop, and happened to meet Deng Qiantu cleaning with a few subordinates.
"Brother Wei, good morning!" Deng Qiantu greeted Wei Shihao with a smile while sweeping the floor.
This cordial greeting was like the sun rising in the west, which flattered Wei Shihao! Recently, the changes in Deng Qian's disciples always made him feel that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it.
"Deng Gongzi washes the new leather noodles, and he still looks good when he works!" Wei Shihao also said kindly.
"Where, where? This is just his own job, where can he compare to Brother Wei's hard work? I also hope that Brother Wei will say a few more kind words in front of Shopkeeper Mo! Deng Qiantu stopped what he was doing, stood up and approached Wei Shihao.
Wei Shihao felt that the other party was quite sincere, so he also stopped and chatted with him.
Mo Man, who was wearing a blue dress, was coming out of the east courtyard, and when he saw the two of them making noise, he smiled and thought, "Is it possible for this pair of enemies to reconcile?" ”
Morman knew that the two had always been at odds, but now they were chatting happily, and intended to push the boat of friendship between the two to make them even better, so he sang and sang:
The seedlings in the field are lush,
A rainbow appears after the storm.
Yesterday's enemies are today's and,
After a laugh, good brother.
When Wei Shihao and Deng Qiantu heard Mo Man's singing, they both turned to the direction where the song came from. In fact, both of them have Moman in their hearts, they don't need to look at it at all, they can guess who sang it when they hear the song, they just want to take a look at the goddess in their hearts.
Mo Man's singing voice was crisp and beautiful, and Xie Yingjun, who was practicing mountain songs upstairs in the west courtyard, immediately opened the window and poked his head out to look down. Suddenly, Xie Yingjun, who had just practiced mountain songs for a few days, was in high spirits and immediately sang:
Respect the flow of mountains and high waters,
The world is peaceful and happy.
Three poles from the east sun,
A group of scenery and laughter.
Easy to understand, beautiful melody, gentle, easy to learn, easy to sing, are the characteristics of Zhuangjia folk songs. Although Xie Yingjun has only been studying for a few days, he has been influenced by mountain songs for a long time and is full of economy, and the first time he opened his mouth to sing is also remarkable, which makes the workers downstairs applaud.
Someone to sing? The girls in the brocade workshop felt very curious, and they all poured out to see the excitement.
Mo Qinglian, who was dressing up upstairs in the East Courtyard, was also attracted by the singing. When she opened the window and saw that Xie Yingqun, who had never opened her mouth to sing, was singing, she smiled at the other party, so she also sang:
Needle and thread brocade busy,
The singing voice is soothing.
Stop work today to sing,
The song is located in Zhuangjinfang.
The female workers who ran out of the brocade workshop to listen to the song were still worried that they would be punished if they were discovered by the shopkeeper Mo, but after hearing this song, the whole workshop was boiling. The girls who didn't dare to stop work and go out to listen to the song before also stopped, or leaned on the window, or crowded to the door to listen to the song.
The handymen who were cleaning up in the courtyard also stopped their work and went to the stone bench at the edge of the corridor to sit down and listen to the song.
Truth, goodness and beauty are always the unremitting pursuit and admiration of human beings. In the past, Deng Qian's disciples were high-flying and high-minded, and others avoided him, so he never felt the happiness of being as sincerely concerned by everyone as he is today.
Deng Qiantu smiled, threw away the broom, clapped his hands and sang:
The three singers sang well,
Singing over larks.
We have nothing to do with the wind,
Today, the bridge of friendship is rebuilt.
Wei Shihao gave Deng Qiantu a thumbs up and praised him for singing well. But he still thinks that Deng Qian's disciples are hypocritical, what he does and sings is all pretended, he must have another purpose, the so-called country is easy to change, and his nature is difficult to change!
So, Wei Shihao shook his head with a smile and walked towards the east courtyard, not wanting to participate in this singing.
This song was caused by Wei Shihao and Deng Qian, if the protagonist Wei Shihao is gone, it will be too boring.
"Hey...... Don't go! A female worker shouted.
As soon as the words ended, one of the female workers sang:
Brother Shihao, don't go,
Don't bow your head when you sing.
The emigrated brother has expressed his position,
If you agree, open your mouth.
This song was forcing Wei Shihao to sing, which caused the other female workers to woo and attract thunderous applause.
Li Maozai, who was in a hurry to gather early, stepped into the workshop with a basket full of vegetables, and also shouted: "Yes, brother, you can also have two songs!" Uncle has lifted the ban on mountain songs for you, isn't this just the right time to hum a few words to him? ”
"You know what? Hurry up and get cooking. Wei Shihao said while pushing Li Maozai to the east courtyard.
Mo Man has been staring at Wei Shihao, since Deng Qiantu has expressed his willingness to reconcile and turn the conflict into a jade silk, she really hopes that he will also be generous and forgive the other party for all the things in the past.
As soon as Morman's cherry moved, a beautiful song came casually:
I heard my brother singing like the sea,
Why don't you take the stage today?
Could it be that Sister can't sing well?
Is it difficult to lead the elder brother to the song?
Wei Shihao was cautious and immediately stopped, Mo Man was forcing him to sing a song! If you don't sing this, how can you fall in love with her in the future? So he opened his mouth and sang:
How can I sing as many as yours?
Ah Mei opened her mouth and sang into a river.
In that year, there was a great flood of respect,
The mountain song blocked nine rivers.
Mo Man, who is known as a singer, is talented and rich in five cars, but after she heard Wei Shihao speak, she was still shocked and felt that this son was extraordinary.
Morman sings:
Brother sings a few ghosts,
Boasting about the Nine Heavens.
Ah Mei has only been here for a few months,
Q: What year were you blocked?
Wei Shihao sang:
People say that Ah Mei is a song fairy,
Today seems to be no small day.
Which year will the future song come first,
The river channel was blocked and the fields were dried.
The two of them seem to be at each other's throats when they start singing, but they are really flirting and scolding, singing and singing, and the songs are not popular at all, and the people next to them feel very enjoyable when they listen to it.
After Mo Man sang, Deng Qiantu had just prepared the lyrics on the side, and Wei Shihao had already taken the first step, and he didn't have a chance to see the stitches.
Mo Qinglian stood in front of the window and listened, and sincerely admired Mo Man and Wei Shihao's singing talents, but her heart seemed to be pressed by a big stone, and her pink mouth slowly pouted.
She said secretly in her heart: "Stinky rascal, I have a hand in flirting with girls with mountain songs." Beware of this girl convicting you of another hooliganism! ”
Thinking of this, Mo Qinglian's face suddenly flushed......
"Where is this? Mo Qinglian, the daughter of the dignified Nandan County Tusi Master and the niece of the state official, why should I sulk for that stinky rascal? The more Mo Qinglian thought about it, the more panicked she became, and quickly retreated to the edge of the bed and sat down, took out the hydrangea that was half-embroidered under the pillow, and threw it on the bed twice.
"I'll beat you to death, a stinky rascal, and tell you to flirt when you see your sister!" Mo Qinglian muttered to herself.
"Miss, the pearl porridge is getting cold, it's time for breakfast. Shall I serve it to you, or will you go downstairs and eat? After Yueyue put it on the table early, she shouted as she walked up the stairway.
Pearl porridge is actually glutinous polenta. After the waxy corn is husked, it is the size of a pearl granule, called the corn head, and it needs to be stewed on high heat for two or three hours, and the corn head becomes soft, and the porridge water is milky white. Easy to eat, the taste is round and smooth * smooth, suitable for all ages, it has the effect of clearing the fire and relieving the heat and beauty, it is very good to eat in summer, and it has the effect of prolonging life when eaten all year round, and it is a staple food that is necessary for the people of Xincheng County.
In Xincheng County, the corn head in the Jingliu area is of the best quality. The area is mountainous, and the soil on the mountain is gray-black and fertile, and after planting waxy corn, you can harvest corn cobs about half a foot long with full grains after simple care.
Hearing Yueyue's footsteps, Mo Qinglian was afraid that she would find out, so she panicked and stuffed the embroidered head back under the embroidered pillow.
"Hey, it's coming!" Mo Qinglian said.
As soon as Mo Qinglian turned around and stood up, Yueyue had already walked to the door of the room, and the door was not closed, so she walked in.
Mo Qinglian, who was a thief, instinctively leaned her tall body against the head of the bed, wanting to cover it, but she was really afraid that the hydrangea hidden under the pillow would be discovered by Yueyue.
If you want to cover it, it often becomes that there are no three hundred taels of silver here.
Yueyue saw the clue, so she smiled and asked, "Miss, what is hidden behind you?" Take it out and share it with Yueyue! ”
"No, no, absolutely not!" Mo Qinglian's face turned red, and she hurriedly waved her hand and said, her body moved to the head of the bed again.
"Oh, I know, it must be which brother sent you a token! Hee-hee...... Hurry, hurry up and let me see, let me see! ”
Mo Qinglian has a very good relationship with Yueyue, usually like good sisters, they often fight, so after Yueyue suspected that her master was hiding secrets, she was not polite to her, and she had to find out with a smile.
Mo Qinglian smiled shyly, desperately blocking Yueyue from leaning towards her bedside.
In fact, when Mo Qinglian was hiding things, because she was in a hurry, half of the pink hydrangea rope was exposed on the side of the pillow, and the sharp-eyed Yueyue had already discovered it, so she had to find it out, and see if the master had anything to say?
"Huh......" Yueyue's eyes were quick, and she pulled out the hydrangea under the pillow with a pump: "What is this?" What is it? Hehe! ”
"Oops, pay me back soon!" When the secret was discovered, Mo Qinglian immediately rushed up to snatch it back.
The naughty Yueyue raised the hydrangea high, ran all over the house, and said with a smile: "Don't give, don't give, I don't give!" ”
"Mad girl, give it to me!" Mo Qinglian hugged the petite Yueyue and snatched the hydrangea back, her face flushed with shame.
She sat on the edge of the bed, wanting to stuff the hydrangea under the pillow again, and was worried that Yueyue would come and grab it, so she hugged it close to her chest, and then said warningly: "Don't tell anyone about this, do you hear?" ”
"I don't, unless you tell me who embroidered it for, I won't tell anyone!" Yueyue stopped laughing, still teasing her.
"Who said that embroidered hydrangea has to be given to him......" Mo Qinglian felt that these words were like "There are no silver three hundred taels here", her face became even more crimson, and she said embarrassedly: "Can't I embroider and play?" ”
"Haha, it's still lying! Tell me who he is? ”
"Nope! Believe it or not! ”
"Oh, if you had said this the other day, I would have believed it; But ......" Yueyue said pretending to be serious.
"But what?"
"But, I don't believe it now, I know who he is."
"How? Don't talk nonsense. ”
"Huh...... Miss, you can guess it. How can there be a hooligan who is not punished, but gets benefits and such a good job? Yueyue had already seen that Mo Qinglian had fallen in love with the handsome and dashing Wei Shihao, but the identities of the two were too different, she didn't dare to think deeply, and when she saw the unfinished hydrangea, she made a bold guess.
"Shh......h Be quiet, he's down there, let him hear, what a shame! After Mo Qinglian was guessed about it, she was so ashamed that she covered her face with her hands and said.
"Oh, my young lady, which of our Zhuang sisters doesn't have a generous relationship with others after reaching the age of marriage? In my opinion, you should hurry up and embroider it, and throw it to him when you go to 'grass' with him one day! Yueyue also walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, stabbed Mo Qinglian with her elbow and said.
Walking grass is a popular custom among young people in the Zhuang family. When the girls of the Zhuang family grow up, in the evening, they will either pair up with young men to go out into the wild to talk about love, or go on one-on-one dates, and their parents do not interfere, which is called walking grass.
"Dead girl, where is this? These eight characters haven't been skimmed yet! ”
"It's just that there is no grass to walk! If the eight characters are written, it's time to get married, and do you still need to go to the grass? ”
"Go, go, go...... I won't tell you, eat early! ”
