The night sky of Tanabata is deep.

A half-moon hangs in the air, white as a pearl, and from time to time there are a few wisps of floating clouds drifting by, setting off the whole night sky like a heavenly palace.

At dinner, Qian Jin drank heartily, and unconsciously drank a whole pot of wine, and the whole person was a little hot, so he wanted to take a shower in the newly repaired bathhouse.

When he packed his clothes and walked outside the bathroom, he saw Li Liang waiting outside the door with a wooden basin.

"Who's taking a shower inside?" Qian Jin asked.

"Yes sir...... It's been a long time since I've been in. Li Liang said sadly.

Since the construction of this bathhouse, Jin Taiming has to take a shower almost every day, and every time he has to take a bath for about a quarter of an hour, which makes the courtyard angry.

Qian Jin was about to turn around and leave, when the door of the bathroom suddenly opened, revealing half of Jin Taiming's head.

"Brother, there's no water in the tank. Can I add some water? Jin Taiming sneered.

"Brother Jin, if it's enough, aren't you afraid of rubbing off a layer of skin?" Qian Jin said disdainfully.

"Just give another half an hour, you see, the soaphorn water hasn't been washed away." Jin Taiming pointed to his hair and said.

Qian Jin shook his head helplessly, then walked to the water tank and fetched a bucket of cold water and hung it on the arm of a block next to him. After a creaking of wooden wheels, he pushed a stick against the bucket hanging from the pulley, which was poured into a funnel with a thud. After a while, Jin Taiming's excited shouts came from inside the bath.

One of the things wrong with this bath is that the water tank has to be hung in the house, but the water has to be taken outside. Qian Jin and Ding Wei thought about making a pulley and a funnel. When it comes to bathing, water is poured into a funnel so that it can flow down a pipe into the wooden box.

After half a cup of tea, Jin Taiming finally came out of the bath, covered in water stains.

Qian Jin took a closer look, dropped the sentence "You are a lot whiter" and walked straight into the bath, and after a while, he poked his head out and said, "Brother Jin, remember to help me fill up the water." ”

Jin Taiming made a grimace despite Sven's face in the bathing room, but he still complied, and said to Li Liang when he was done: "Children's family, why do you take so many baths?" After saying that, he hummed a little song that he heard from nowhere.

Li Liang was the only one left outside. He simply put the wooden basin on the ground, and then sat inside, his face full of grievances.

…………

When it was almost time, the courtyard fell silent.

Qian Jin moved a reclining chair to cool off in the yard. Now that he has a firm foothold in the capital, it is time to think about the affairs of the court.

The fact that the unrest along the southeast coast did not form a climate was a bit unexpected for Qian Jin. The military reports that reached the capital only said that the guards in the southeast had encountered a small group of Japanese robbers, and that there were injuries on both sides. After some inquiry, it turned out that the island nation was also fighting.

In recent years, the island nation has been in the era of warlord secession. The most powerful Aso family has ruled the island country for more than 100 years, and now it is unable to restrain the local government, coupled with the impermanence of climate change in the past few years, the increase in civil unrest on the island, the Ikong family and the Koda family have taken advantage of the situation to rise, and the Aso family has faintly formed a three-legged situation.

If there is a sudden change in the domestic situation of the island country, the defeated side will probably wander everywhere, and the rich southeast coast of the Chen country may be the most ideal place for them to escape. Emperor Renwu issued a ban on the sea, presumably with this in mind.

Thinking of this, Qian Jin pondered that it was time to enter the palace. Both the Flower House and the Wine Shop were on the right track, and he didn't have much to do. The emperor only said that he wanted him to play for another three months, and did not say when it would start.

It's already July, and this year's new branch jinshi and fellow jinshi have already gone to the ministry to take official posts and go to various places to take up their posts, and he has become an idler.

…………

While thinking about it, the silkworm girl moved a small table to the yard, and when she saw that Qian Jin was still there, she asked, "Why hasn't the master slept yet?" ”

"I can't sleep. Why did Sister Hua move the table out? ”

"Today is the Begging Festival, and it is also the day when the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl meet. It is said that the Weaver Girl is good at weaving, and the women will beg the Weaver Girl for skills and inspiration for threading needles and threads one day. ”

Qian Jinxin said that it turned out that Chen Guo also had a Cowherd and Weaver Girl, and it seemed that this space still had many similarities with the space in his previous life. Seeing the serious appearance of the silkworm girl, he quipped: "Is it also possible to ask for marriage?" ”

Silkworm Niang smiled and said, "That's all about the girls, is the lord a big man still afraid that he won't be married?" With that, she took out the fruit and needlework from the room. After arranging, the silkworm girl lit three sticks of incense, then knelt down on her knees, folded her hands, and chanted something silently in her mouth.

When she was done, Qian Jin stepped forward and asked, "What did Sister Hua ask for just now?" ”

The silkworm girl smiled but did not answer.

Qian Jin became more and more curious, so he couldn't help but ask. The two men chased after each other in the courtyard. The silkworm girl was afraid of waking up the others, so she hurriedly waved her hand and begged for mercy: "Master, it won't work if you say it." Qian Jin seized an opportunity and finally hugged the silkworm girl into his arms. The two of them hugged each other like this, staring blankly at the bright moon in the sky.

"Sister Hua, I just made a wish to the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl." Qian Jin said with a reverent face.

"What is the wish that the lord made?"

"I told the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, let my sister Hua always be so lovely, and give birth to a lot of babies with me. When we got old, we held a hand warmer and watched our children and grandchildren play. ”

The silkworm girl didn't make a sound when she heard it, as if she was pondering.

"What are you thinking?" Qian Jin couldn't help asking.

"I'm thinking...... Think about a lot of things. ”

"Don't you dare to listen to the master? Don't hurry up yet. Qian Jin pretended to be angry.

The silkworm girl took advantage of the situation to break free, but stood not far away and looked at Qian Jin stupidly, and said after a long time: "Do you remember when the master was in Sangmu Village?" ”

"Of course I do. Sister Hua misses her relatives? Qian Jin couldn't help but ask with concern.

"That day, I was chased by the Japanese Bandits. Just when I thought that everything was over, the old man came down like a god and saved my life. Later, the lord asked me to go to Zhenjiang Wei to move the rescue soldiers. I don't know where the courage came from, riding alone in the middle of the night. Now that I think about it, I think it's incredible. ”

When Qian Jin heard this, he quipped: "Isn't this your master's wisdom and martial arts, which makes Sister Hua admire her so much?" ”

The silkworm lady was noncommittal, and only said: "Have you noticed the recent changes in Mr. Jin?" ”

"What can change Brother Jin...... You said this, I remember it, this Jin brother is getting thicker and thicker, and he can take a bath for a meal. Qian Jin said.

Silkworm Niang snorted and said with a smile: "Actually, not only Mr. Jin, but also the shopkeeper Ding and his family, Lao Cao of the porter, they have been very happy since they entered the courtyard." ”

"It's a good thing to have a good life, but if you don't have a good time, it will seem that your master is incapable."

"The master is such a self-contained person, and he is not decent, but he doesn't know how to take care of himself...... I just asked the two immortals to bless my lord with no disasters and many blessings. ”

"Isn't it brilliant to say it?"

"Listen", the silkworm girl grabbed Qian Jin and walked to the old locust tree in the yard with one arm, and said: "The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl are whispering, I guess I just heard what we said, so it must be effective." ”

Qian Jin couldn't help but look up at the sky, there was nothing but the moon and stars, and when he turned around, he found that the silkworm girl had run back to the house. He couldn't help but sigh and said, "Hey, even Sister Hua is so naughty, what should I do in the future." ”

It was not too early, and Qian Jin continued to look at the sky for a while to see if there was really a Cowherd and Weaver Girl meeting. After a while, his tears came out, except for the occasional few clouds floating in the sky, there was no shadow of the Queqiao and the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl.

Go back to your room and sleep.

…………

In the middle of the night, the door where the money came in creaked open.

There is only one person in the family, Qian Jin, who knows martial arts, so his door is never bolted. If a thief comes in, he can react immediately.

Because of the pot of wine, he slept more deeply tonight. In a daze, he felt a soft body burrow into his arms. He forcibly opened his sleepy eyes, but found that it was a silkworm girl.

The silkworm girl only wore a belly pocket and a pair of middle pants, and she was holding herself tightly at the moment. Maybe she was too nervous, and she was still a little shaking.

Qian Jin reached out to hug the silkworm girl, but felt that the back of the silkworm girl at the beginning was smooth and delicate. Since the two of them left Sangmu Village, although Lang You's concubine was intended, they have never been skin-to-skin.

At this time, the silkworm girl spoke: "Master...... Ever since you saved me that day, I can't do without my lord in my heart. You...... Have me. ”

Qian Jin heard this, and his mind was like a bang. He hugged the beautiful woman in front of him tightly, eager to rub her into his body.

The moon covered her eyes knowingly, as if she couldn't bear to disturb the glue-like pair.
