Chapter 61: The Phoenix Woos in Gaogang
The day before yesterday was a special day, because it was the day of the Great Father's Festival, Xiang Ran had not moved fireworks for three days, and he had not eaten meat. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
However, compared to Yu Yue, she originally liked lighter vegetarian food, so she didn't feel sad, but she hadn't seen her brother for a long time, and she felt a little uncomfortable.
I really can't figure it out, why the brother and sister are not like each other at all, the younger brother speaks softly and there is no trouble that can't be solved, but Yueyue always likes to cause trouble, that time she almost burned Uncle Han's beard, but her brother interceded for her.
Thinking of the eldest brother, Xiang Ran somewhat understood, yes, he is not like his brother, he is tall, physically strong, and his strength is incomparable, if it is really similar to brother and sister...... But I don't dare to go out anymore, how ugly my daughter's parents are!
However, their brothers and sisters seem to be smarter than themselves, the swordsmanship taught by the master, Yueyue can learn it a few times, and when it comes to herself, it is only in vain to study for half a day.
Uncle and mother said that girls should learn poetry and books well, but Xiang Ran was not convinced, they were also brothers and sisters, and only he was the worst among the four people, which was too unreasonable.
After giving incense to her grandfather, Xiang Ran opened a box, took out a wooden comb and took care of it carefully, compared to Yueyue, who was active by nature, her hair was longer and denser, and her temples were lightly combed into a hair-like appearance, and then a light blue ribbon was used to look more flexible.
Satisfied with the bronze mirror, Xiang Ran put away all the things, and looked at the little box, many things in it were made by the younger brother, delicate combs, fine grates, dyed silk children, villains made of fan mud, colorful pheasant feathers, grasshoppers made of leaves...... There is even no one who knows that she secretly took the chess pieces.
Many things were played with when she was a child, and now they have long faded and deformed, but Xiang Ran is reluctant to throw them away, especially the feather, as she grows up, she already knows the reason for some traces on her back.
Uncle and aunt thought it was a good omen like a phoenix, but she just didn't like it, why should she be different from others? Why didn't Yueyue have it, for this, Xiang Ran secretly shed tears.
She doesn't like to be regarded as an outlier by others, just like her eldest brother, many people will be afraid of his eyes and stay away from her brother and sister.
What does the younger brother think? Even if you don't dislike it now, will you stay away from yourself like others in the future?
I didn't dare to say, I didn't dare to ask, but I was still seen through my thoughts, and then I had these feathers, I have heard countless stories from childhood to adulthood, and Xiang Ran's favorite is a hundred birds and a phoenix.
The phoenix was originally an inconspicuous bird with a safe feather, but it has the advantage of being industrious and thrifty, not singing when it is full of food and drink like other birds, but picking up every fruit that is thrown away one by one.
Later, when the forest was in a drought and the birds could no longer find food, it was the phoenix who opened the door of the cave and shared the dried fruits and grass seeds he had accumulated for many years with everyone, so that they could tide over the difficulties together.
Later, in gratitude for the phoenix's life-saving grace, the birds took the most beautiful feathers from their bodies and weaved them into a dazzling bird coat to present to it, and unanimously elected the phoenix as the king of birds.
Every time the phoenix celebrates its birthday, the birds from all over the forest come together to congratulate it......
Brother Ziqi said that he is also a phoenix, as long as he is kind-hearted, the whole world will think that this is the most beautiful, after five years, Xiang Ran also has five feathers, and now it is his birthday again, can he catch it back?
"Xiao Ran, open the door quickly, I know you're inside, borrow me to hide......"
Xiang Ran's hand shook, almost knocking over the box, after carefully putting it away, she moved to open the wooden door lightly, only to see a little girl standing outside, her red face was full of delicate beads of sweat, and there was a little anxious look between her eyebrows.
"Sister Ayu, what trouble are you causing again?"
"This time it's really a big deal, I almost knocked over Master's sand table, he said he was going to hit me with a rattan, fortunately I reacted quickly, this didn't come to you, don't say it, quickly hide."
A pair of little sisters seemed to have swapped places, the older Yu Yue was more like a naughty sister, Xiang Ran poked his head out and looked left and right, blinked and said: "It's useless, Master didn't know when you were hiding here, just don't care, I have an idea, let's go to the hot springs!" ”
Yu Yue's eyes rolled: "This is a good idea, I haven't soaked with my uncle for a long time, you go and call her to come together, I'll go first!" ”
After finishing speaking, the little girl disappeared in a puff of smoke, Xiang Ran covered her mouth and snickered, this Sister Ayu obviously wanted more than one person to help her intercede, but she said it as if she was filial.
The careless sister couldn't count on it, Xiang Ran packed up a lot of things alone, and then went out to call Mrs. Xiang, and just after walking a few steps, she saw Chen's mother coming towards her.
"My niece has given Uncle Chen a gift."
"Good, look at this little look, at first glance, it's a beautiful billet, and I don't know which boy will be cheaper in the future."
Compared with Yu Yue, Xiang Ran's temperament is more delicate, Mu Shaoai's matter is already ignorant, after listening to Chen's mother's teasing, her pretty face was suddenly dyed a little rouge, and she pouted and said: "Uncle and aunt made fun of it, Sister Ah Yu is much more beautiful than me." ”
"Okay, okay, you're all beauties, Xiao Ran, where are you going?"
"I'm going to find my uncle and aunt to go to the hot springs, Sister Ah Yu is also going, is Uncle Chen with you?"
The life on the mountain is leisurely and comfortable, and Chen Fan's family will still have the charm of cultivation in a few years, and he smiled kindly and said: "I'm afraid that Ah Yu will cause some trouble again, right?" This child, there is no moment of peace of mind, her brother was still a little restrained, now it's good, that is, you haven't been embarrassed, but when you mention her, which of the elders doesn't have a headache? ”
There are also many things that can't be laughed and cryed between the little sisters, but Xiang Ran never talked about it, after listening to Chen's mother's complaints, the little girl took Chen's mother's big hand and said coquettishly: "Uncle Chen, let's go together, my niece picked a lot of flowers last time, and they were made into soap, and it was refreshing after bathing!" ”
Chen Fan's couldn't resist the juniors, so he stroked Xiang Ran dotingly, and said: "Okay, okay, then let's go together, Xiao Ran, you will stay away from the workshop in the future, although the soap is harmless, but many raw materials damage the texture, don't dare to make a mistake!" ”
Xiang Ran nodded quickly: "Don't worry, Brother Ziqi explained before going down the mountain, even Sister Ayu didn't go to make a mistake, I just wanted to pick some petals by hand, and I also made a contribution." ”
The mother and daughter walked while talking, and in a moment they arrived at a small courtyard, where Mrs. Xiang was playing with a group of children, and scattered building blocks were scattered all over the ground.
Everyone on the mountain has their own duties, and according to the past, these little guys can only be taken to the ground to play on their own, Yu Zhou came up with an idea, simply set up a nursery, let Mrs. Xiang take care of the children, first, to save everyone's worries, and second, to find something to do for Mrs. Xiang.
Since there has been no news of the family, this Xiang housewife has always been listless, if it weren't for the fact that there are still children around her, I'm afraid life will be even more difficult.
"Uncle!"
"It's Xiao Ran, why didn't you go to learn swords with Wei Lao today?"
"Uncle, Sister Ayu said that she was going to the hot springs, and the new soap was made, let's try it together."
Mrs. Xiang pulled her sideburns and said softly: "Good, Xiao Ran will go with your Uncle Chen, I still have many children to take care of, and I can't leave." ”
"Xiang family, I didn't say it, look at how haggard you are now, I heard that your head of the house also has some news, if you come back, I still think that the days on the mountain are so hard."
"Where is this, isn't Ji'er quite strong......"
"So, you're overthinking, you have to take care of it, the hot springs are a good place to go, and it's not in the way to relax together."
Mrs. Xiang hesitated for a moment, but she still had worries in her heart: "How can this work, if I walk away, who will take care of these children." ”
Xiang Ran blinked his big eyes and said, "Uncle, let's go together, all the brothers and sisters will also take it, and the younger brother said that this is called a wild tour!" ”
Speaking of Yu Zhou, Mrs. Xiang finally moved, but she didn't let go of her niece, and joked with a smile: "It's the child period when you open and close your mouth, and I don't know if my uncle still has a place in your heart." ”
"Of course there is, uncles, masters, uncles, younger brothers, elder brothers, and younger brothers, Xiao Ran all remember the ...... in his heart."
Mother Chen followed her words and asked, "Then in your heart, which person is the most important?" ”
The little girl thought seriously for a while, and her cheeks suddenly blushed: "It's all ...... It's all just as important. ”
"Okay, okay, it's not difficult for you, this child is not like her eldest brother at all, her daughter's temperament is always good, but she is easy to be bullied in troubled times."
"No, it won't! My brother said he wanted to protect me! ”
The two women looked at each other, not knowing what to say, but to take it seriously...... They're all kids, so let's take it as a joke...... Xiang Ran's appearance doesn't seem to be fake.
Seeing that the two uncles didn't believe it, Xiang Ran was even more anxious: "It's true, Sister Ayu was also there at that time, and my brother also wore a flower for me, and I didn't want to throw it ......away."
The little girl's face was visible to the naked eye and quickly turned red, and she accidentally told all the secrets in the small box, and the shyness in her heart was indescribable.
Xiang Ran turned his head hatefully and stomped his little foot: "I...... I'll go find Sister Ayu first! ”
