This day just rises in the morning, the sky is fluttering on the lanterns, huge puppets are flying in the air, countless ribbons and flags are wrapped around each door, today is the Shangsi Festival, every family will release the prayer lamp, praying for a lover to eventually become a family, family harmony and happiness.
Beat gongs and drums, put on a feast, everyone gathers together, burns incense and worships the Buddha together, tells their wishes, men and women gather in groups, children laugh and play, so lively, spring bathing and stepping on spring are the hobbies of many scholars and masters. And in the evening, there are many novelties, you can guess riddles, put flower boats, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, all kinds of snacks.
Couples can hold hands and hug each other generously, and if they have a good impression of each other, they can also go on a cruise in twos and threes, with confidants and friends as companions, drinking and playing chess.
this day
Lin Keyu was carrying a vegetable basket, preparing to go to the market to buy food, Ah Tietai was at home on vacation, and the family was all there, thinking that he could finally have a lively time, and he couldn't leave home on weekdays, plus there were many people on this day, and no one in the neighborhood would greet her one by one, which made her breathe a sigh of relief, the strategies between women can't be learned, the family is long and the family is short, and it's not good to say anything.
However, there are many people who are right and wrong, and their consistent temperament is what to say, straight to the point, never around the corner, except for so many two families to go back and forth, gradually she does not like to go out, not the New Year's holidays, or embroidery at home to sell silver taels, subsidize the family.
Followed by Ah Tiemin, who likes to join in the fun, today she also has a woman's dress, plain yellow dress, eyebrows, a little fat powder, pursed her lips and smiled, her fingers folded on her abdomen, but she also has a bit of the comfort of Miss Boudoir.
"Mother, let me play by myself today." Ah Tiemin snorted, with a girlish innocence in his eyes, and whispered to please his mother.
"No, you are reckless, you can't be crazy to play, not to mention that this day is lively, there are restrictions everywhere, and there are crowds of people, if your brother is interested, he can pick you up." Shaking his head, after becoming a mother, he knows his child's personality best, pretending to be quiet and quiet, revealing his original form in less than a second, and he doesn't know if she is a good girl, like a mother or a father.
"Wow, mother, you're the best, I'll go to a meeting for a while and come back late at night, not to mention that we have to make some space for the eldest brother, he is not too young." Ah Tiemin shook her mother's sleeve violently, Lin Keyu's hair was dizzy, her eyes were shining, she was a little ghost, and she didn't know what to think.
"Your eldest brother is such an adult, he can make his own decisions." Ruthlessly put aside her daughter's hand, there was a trace of solemnity on her face, she didn't think it was so simple, people looked like a noble lady like a daughter, dedicated to the Tao, cultivated and didn't say how, just rushed to other people's appearance, what kind of son will not treat her like a jewel, holding it in the palm of her hand for fear of melting.
"Mother, think about it again...... Oh, my mother, I'll play for a while, I promise not to run around and not cause trouble. Affectionately pouted his shoulders, reached out to take the vegetable basket, hurriedly helped Lin Keyu, and respectfully invited him to go out.
"It's not negotiable." Little girl, don't you know how much food you have in your belly, and I'm not so easy to convince.
Wow, I have a headache, and I suddenly feel that my mother's IQ is much higher, and I can't coax it, so I can only sell it as badly as possible.
The two were talking and laughing, pushed open the door, and saw Bai Xiaomuxuan standing outside the door, patting his sleeves, covered in frost and dew, the whole person was a little messy, but he was cultivating outside and absorbing the spirit of moonlight all night.
"What are you discussing?" I didn't sleep all night, fortunately, I gained a little from practicing in the moonlight, and I just came back, and I heard the two of them say that I don't know anything, the corners of my mouth were hooked, I put down my slightly cool hand that was a little dewy, and nodded to say hello to them.
"Blessings to you, but it's hard work?" Blessed body, Lin Keyu smiled and squinted, every time he saw Bai Xiaomuxuan, it was like his own child, but for his benefactor, he always couldn't get rid of the respect in his heart, just like A Tiemin couldn't get rid of the pressure of facing the mountains, and his heart was still a little trembling, even if Bai Xiaomuxuan had reined in, like ordinary people.
"Not really" shook his head and smiled, even if his hair was messy, he stood there quietly with his face facing the sky, he was also a beautiful fairy.
"Today's lively is because of the annual Shangsi Festival, young and old can play everywhere, there are also a lot of delicious food here, the poor woman is going to the market, everyone gathers together tonight to be lively, do adults need anything?" Raising his head, he smiled.
Thinking about being about the same age as his own child, but he is so old and working so hard, he is also a little distressed when he is sad, and then he looks at his daughter, and his brain hurts faintly, which is a little unbearable to look at directly.
Fortunately, the festival can always make people happy and happy, and make people forget a lot of troubles temporarily.
"Oh? No wonder it's so lively, there's nothing needed, just arrange it by the eldest lady. Because the tips of her hair were dripping with droplets, Bai Xiaomuxuan felt uncomfortable when she was wet, so she didn't talk much.
After giving Ah Tiemin some silver taels, he asked her to buy some things from her daughter's house, she is not young anymore, it is normal to love beauty, pay attention to the disciples, and the three of them went their own ways.
Bai Cicada got up early, tied a ponytail, neat training clothes, squatting in the open space, the chassis is stable, the foundation can be laid, a good body, is very important for cultivation, she knows that her talent is not enough, no matter how hard she tries, she can't keep up with the talent of the master, not to mention the talent of the master, but she can't be discouraged, her life is given by the master, she will protect her for the rest of her life, even if there is no shortage of her alone.
Bai Xiaomuxuan came to the backyard, where there is a bamboo forest, small bamboo shoots are slowly growing, green leaf tips, stay for a while, golden bamboo shoots come out, to the best time, put some dried bacon at home and fry it together, it is very delicious.
There is a glimmer of light in his eyes, and he feels drooling when he thinks about it, looking at the green shiny bamboo leaf tips, as if to say: Little bamboo, grow up quickly, grow up and eat you.
This scene is in full view of the white cicada, such a child looks very cute, sometimes I feel that this master is unattainable, and sometimes I feel that it is just a little girl, innocent and kind, ignorant of the world.
The "master" unloaded his horse, walked over from a distance, knelt on one knee, extremely pious, and the white cicada looked excited.
Stepping into the door of cultivation, only she knows what kind of pain and hardship it is, and what kind of satisfaction it is, she is no longer a weak woman who can be bullied, she can live with dignity, live for a goal, live the life she wants, and see the broader world.
"Get up" Bai Xiaomuxuan was still fantasizing about the deliciousness of bamboo shoots, and she was called coldly, but she couldn't react.
Ahem, she has to maintain her image and not lose face in front of people (it's impossible to admit that she's a foodie, and it's impossible to kill her)
After thinking about it, he continued
"Seeing that you are so diligent, it is not a waste of those elixirs, if you don't understand, you can ask me, or find A Tiekui, he is talented, and your personality is also compatible, you must find the right way when you work hard, you must not be blindly radical, the more basic things, the more you must practice, practice until practice makes perfect, even if you are dreaming." Cultivators are most afraid of being ambitious, and they are greedy for merit, just like a mountain, if the bottom of the mountain has been hollowed out, the whole mountain will collapse.
The white cicada stood up, and the joy floated on his face, and he could get the guidance of his master, which was a blessing in his previous life.
"Thank you, master, your subordinates should keep it in mind." Solemnly answered! His eyes are unwavering and his posture is straight.
"Okay, okay, don't be so serious, first take the book I gave you, the foundation is solid, and it is more than enough to protect yourself." Bai Xiaomuxuan approached and patted her on the back, secretly encouraging.
It is almost a month before the white cicada cleanses the marrow, although the result is unsatisfactory, but it is not Bai Xiaomuxuan's expectation, as a mortal body, the spiritual root is really not high, and the cultivation age has already passed most of the good time, even if there is holy water, coupled with her promotion, the white cicada has just opened the door to cultivation, and a month of suffering can be worthy of entering two stars.
It's hard for her, she has suffered so much, she can still be so strong, endure the feeling of being bitten by thousands of ants, cut by thousands of knives, and almost gritted her teeth to commit suicide, but fortunately, she succeeded, and she can be regarded as a master who suffers from hardship.
"Okay" Bai Cicada lowered his head and quietly replied with a word.
"I heard my aunt say, today is a very lively day, you are allowed to go out to play, relax and relax, cultivation is not a one-day thing, don't rush." Considering that Bai Cicada herself was penniless, alone for many years, a slave and a maid, and there was no way to survive, she took off an ink lotus money bag from her waist, which was a little damp, and she instantly used some aura to dry it.
"Good" is still one word.
It is also to tell the white cicada to pay attention to safety, be careful of the disciples, stuff it into the arms of the white cicada, wave his hand, and leave without looking back.
"Send the master." Bai Cicada knelt on her knees this time, bowed her head and bowed, her name was given by her master, and she will not forget it when she dies, thank you, you care about her so much, even if Bai Xiaomuxuan has long been gone, she still can't come back to her senses for a long time.
I didn't see Ah Tiekui after turning around, she had to let him teach Bai Cicada well, after all, there are many things to do in the future, her cultivation can't be too low, otherwise she can't suppress the people below, there are still many things to start discussing, the key is that Lao Zilei is not in the sleeping room, according to this time, the old Zilei who can't be beaten by thunder until the sun is unprecedented, where are these two people? I don't know what to do secretly, the two have always been wrong, and they can always pinch each other when they meet.
