Chapter 498: Tie the longevity thread for him with his own hands
She inquired about the maid who greeted the guests, and the maid said: "Yes, in our place, the Dragon Boat Festival has the custom of sending long-life threads to relatives and friends, and the long-life threads are made of colorful silk threads and tied to the arms, which can avoid disasters and diseases, bless health, and prolong life. ”
The maid winked playfully at Xue Wu, and whispered into her ear: "It's best to get a strand of his hair from your sweetheart in advance and weave it in with the colored thread, so that the effect is better." ”
So Xue Wu also joined the guests who selected the color line.
When she returned, she called her maidservant with a jade talisman and asked her to teach her how to weave a long life.
Because she won't herself.
There is no specific weaving technique for longevity, the simplest can be braided like a braid, and after being braided, it can also be decorated with gold, silver, pearls and jade.
Similar to bracelets in later generations.
Xue Wu wants to make up a more delicate one, which means that it is difficult, but there are still two days, it should be enough, right?
It turns out that two days is simply not enough time for the handicapped star.
In the end, Xue Wu could only work decorations, and her craftsmanship was not enough, so she made up jewelry.
When it was finished, she breathed a sigh of relief with a sense of accomplishment, and asked the maidservant with a long life thread, "How is it?" Isn't it pretty? ”
The corners of the maid's mouth twitched, if she had to say it, there was only one adjective - fancy, colorful and jeweled, it was really a bit dazzling, of course, for its sake, she still nodded against her will, "Good-looking!" ”
Any bead on it is worth a year's salary, how can it not look good.
In the past two days, Xue Wu has been bent on making up a long life, and she hasn't gone out to shop anymore, Pei Lin is naturally happy to be idle, and she is practicing in the house to recuperate.
For ordinary people's festivals, monks are not very concerned, after all, monks are dedicated to the pursuit of the path of immortality, and if there is that time, isn't it good to cultivate for a while?
Pei Lin is also a member of the monks, and he is also a cultivator among the monks, and he doesn't care about those festivals that are celebrated every year.
Therefore, on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, when he was called out by Xue Wu to make zongzi together, he was stunned, and he was completely at a loss for all kinds of ingredients on the table.
"What are you doing? Sit, come, see how I wrap it, it's very simple. Xue Wu showed him the process of making zongzi, and deliberately slowed down each step.
Although she is not good at handicraft, she is definitely the king in the field of cooking.
Xue Wu prepared several kinds of fillings, red dates, bean paste, egg yolk, fresh meat...... A large pot of glutinous rice was prepared.
Although there are only two people, you can cook a little more at a time, and you can cook and eat it whenever you want.
Pei Lin sat down, picked up a mushroom leaf and made zongzi in her style.
He had never done this before, and his movements naturally seemed clumsy, and Xue Wu couldn't laugh when she saw it.
Pei Lin was a little helpless by her laughter, and looked at her helplessly, with a little grievance in his eyes.
Xue Wu was so cute by his appearance, she screamed twice in her heart, but her face was not obvious, and she grabbed his hand seriously, "You are like this, and you are like this...... Look, isn't that just the right one? You try again. ”
It still didn't work to try Pei Lin again, but Xue Wu asked him to make zongzi with him, and he didn't expect him to wrap much, but he just wanted him to accompany him, so he said: "Forget it, I feel that making zongzi is still too difficult for you, so you can help me scoop the filling." ”
This was not difficult for Pei Lian, and he breathed a sigh of relief silently.
So, the next two worked together, and more and more zongzi were piled up in the pot.
A pot of glutinous rice was used up, and there were still some fillings left, Xue Wu took a red date and ate it, it was very sweet, she fed it to Pei Lian's mouth: "You taste it." ”
This move was naturally intimate and intimate, and Xue Wu reacted that she was stunned.
She was about to withdraw her hand, but Pei Lin had already lowered her head and bit the date, and even her lips touched her fingers.
Xue Wu retracted her hand violently as if she was burned, and let out a chicken cry in her heart, ahhh I want to knock him down!
She twisted her fingers, feeling the soft touch of his lips linger on them.
In addition to zongzi, Xue Wu also prepared a sumptuous meal, the ingredients were all spiritual food from the space, and when cooking, she called Pei Lin to give her a hand as usual.
She worked hard to cook and he sat and waited to eat, this kind of behavior she would never allow, since it was two people celebrating the festival together, then they had to work together, right?
It can be seen that Pei Lin rarely did this kind of thing before, but he has a very good attitude, and he will do whatever she asks him to do, although he often needs her to save the scene.
Talking and laughing, busy and busy, a holiday meal is finally ready.
Looking at a large table of delicious food, Xue Wu and Pei Lin both felt a sense of satisfaction and achievement.
The two looked at each other and smiled, and sat down to eat.
Pei Lian: "Will we do too much?" "After all, there are only two of them.
"What is this, today's holiday, I have to make some delicious food, besides, I usually eat more - cough, I mean, I usually eat with my clansmen very richly, come, this chicken leg is for you."
Xue Wu almost exposed the fact that she had a large amount of food, and hurriedly covered up the past by picking up vegetables.
Pei Lin sandwiched another chicken leg to her, "You eat it too." ”
On this day, I went to cook all kinds of food, and after eating, the two of them were idle.
Xue Wu proposed: "Let's go out for a walk, the street must be very lively today." ”
"Okay."
On the street, there are mobile troupes performing to exorcise the five poisons (scorpions, snakes, centipedes, geckos, and toads), and the actors are divided into two camps, one camp plays the role of Terran monks, and the other camp wears poison masks on its face and wears strange costumes.
A large group of children followed, screaming and jumping.
Xue Wu also joined in, and a child saw that she was good-looking, and took the initiative to give her a string of longevity, and she was surprised and took it and tied it.
"Looks good, right?" She shook it in front of him ostentatiously.
Pei Lin chuckled, "It's good-looking." ”
In fact, it is just the most ordinary longevity, but because her smile is too bright, this longevity has become different.
Xue Wu received his compliment, but she was embarrassed, "Actually, I also made up a long-lived thread, I'll give it to you." ”
She took out the long-lived thread that she had braided for two days to brighten the blind eye.
Pei Lin didn't answer, but handed his wrist to her, "Can you tie it for me?" ”
On the brightly lit long street, surrounded by a weaving of people, lively and noisy, her eyes were shining, the corners of her lips were upturned, and she lowered her head and tied the strands of longevity to his arms.
"Alright." As soon as he looked up, he crashed into his deep eyes, and he stared intently at her, the bright light reflected in his eyes.
And, with a smile on her face.
