Chapter 181: The First Year of the First Month
Now, seven days have passed, Xiao Qiongzhi's method has begun to bear fruit, and the three-talent sword formation composed of the three of them is becoming more and more like that, that is, in terms of tacit understanding, it still needs to be improved. Mobile M.
In order to solve this problem, Xiao Qiongzhi's current method is to remind himself that he must always remember to call the dog and the stone to insist on practicing the sword formation together, and first form a common habit of study.
A quarter of an hour later, Xiao Qiongzhi noticed that Prince Qiu and Prince Kun didn't know when, standing at the door of the main house and watching them practice swords.
Among them, Prince Kun had a bright smile on his face; Prince Qiu didn't smile on his face, he was frowning.
Xiao Qiongzhi also thought that he was disgusted with himself, the dogs, and the stones, and the three-talent sword formation, because he was not practicing well enough, so he devoted himself more seriously to the practice.
Who knows, when she returned to the main house after practicing the sword, Prince Qiu suddenly reminded her in a low voice: "There is a difference between men and women, what does that big ass of stone always hit your waist?" ”
"You should ask your uncle to pick two little girls as old as you and accompany you to practice the Sancai Sword Formation."
Xiao Qiongzhi shook his head and said seriously: "Thank you for reminding me, it's inconvenient to pick other people." Brother Dog and Brother Shi are now living in my house, and in the future, if I or my family are in danger, they are likely to be the ones who can fight against me as quickly as possible and form a three-talent sword formation. ”
Prince Qiu said: "You are wrong, when you study in the county school, you will be divided into men's school house and women's school house, and the dog and the stone root can't always follow you." ”
"You extorted 1,900 taels of silver from my brother Kun with a random excuse at noon yesterday, and as soon as you reminded me last night, you asked my brother Kun to obediently hand over 300 taels of silver to order food, and the means of making money are quite good."
"Why don't you just spend money to go to the people in the county, buy two little girls as old as you, sign the death contract, and let them accompany you to practice the Sancai Sword Formation!."
"Thanks for the reminder, let's talk about it then." Xiao Qiongzhi said a little perfunctorily.
She could see from the last time that Prince Qiu seemed to instinctively dislike her to be close to dogs and stones.
Therefore, I decided in my heart that Prince Qiu's repeated praising himself and choosing someone to practice the Sancai Sword Formation together was also because he didn't like her to get close to the dog and the stone, so he didn't bother to change because of this.
"Without further ado. In my mother's harem, there is a pair of twin girls, who have practiced martial arts since childhood, and look two or three years older than you. Prince Qiu continued to persuade without giving up.
"No, it's useless, not to mention that the twin girls you said are still people in your mother's harem, if you go to your mother for me, what do you let your mother think of me, and what do you think of me for the twin girls?" Xiao Qiongzhi still refused to listen to him.
Prince Qiu noticed the point of his words, raised his eyebrows, and said meaningfully: "What my queen mother thinks of you is not the most important, but how I think of you is important." ”
"In addition, although the twin girls are in my mother's harem, the real master is me."
"Because they were outcasts that I picked up from outside when I was on a study tour. I asked my queen mother for them, and it was only natural that I didn't have to mention my intention to give them to you in front of my mother. ”
"Okay, then you can send them to me first, and if they are suitable to practice the Sancai Sword Formation with me, I will decide whether to keep them or not." Xiao Qiongzhi saw that he was so enthusiastic, so he had to agree for the time being.
After breakfast, enter the New Year's greetings.
Zhou Dayong took Xiao Qiongzhi, dogs, stones, and four empty burdens to the east of the village, planning to start from there and go door to door to greet the people in the village.
At this time, the children of the tribesmen in the village were also taken by the eldest children of the family, starting from the head of the village, going door-to-door to pay New Year's greetings to the families of other tribes in the village.
As for the women like Chu Yunniang and Liu Wuxiu in the village's families, as well as the elderly people, they are all responsible for staying at home to entertain guests.
After arriving at the east end of the village, Xiao Qiongzhi found that Da Niu, Shishan, Lizi, Zhou Xijun, and Zhou Xixiong were all there, and the entire New Year's greeting procession was mighty, with nearly 100 children.
Moreover, they were obviously waiting for Xiao Qiongzhi, and after Xiao Qiongzhi arrived, they all spontaneously gathered behind her, followed her, Zhou Dayong, Gouzi, and Shishi, and went door to door to greet the people in the village, and on the way to the New Year, they sang cheerful nursery rhymes:
New Year's greetings,
Happy New Year!
It's New Year again,
It's so lively!
Sweet sweet sugar water,
Glowing with white bubbles,
Red Joy Eggs,
Like a good baby,
peanuts, melon seeds, hemp seeds, red dates,
Delicious snacks for everyone!
New Year's greetings,
Happy New Year!
Every year gets better and better!
At this time, the people in the village have long been ready to welcome everyone, and the family has prepared sugar water, red eggs (the eggshell is smeared red with cinnabar to show joy), and some snacks such as melon seeds, peanuts, sesame sugar, and hemp seeds.
Although there are many children, after all, they also have children in their family to pay New Year's greetings, so no matter which family they visit for the New Year, all the children can drink sweet sugar water, receive two red eggs and a lot of snacks.
Xiao Qiongzhi finally understood why when they went out, Chu Yunniang and Liu Wuxiu would remember to remind her, Zhou Dayong, Gouzi, and Shishi, each carrying an empty burden.
When the New Year's greeting came to the door of his house, Xiao Qiongzhi followed the example of the children of the clansmen in front of him, and enthusiastically led everyone into his yard.
At this time, Chu Yunniang and Liu Wuxiu also prepared enough sugar water, red eggs and snacks to entertain everyone.
When Xiao Qiongzhi was distributing things to everyone, together with Zhou Dayong, Gouzi, and Shishi, put down the burden on his body, picked out red eggs, and poured the rest of the snacks into the corner of the main house, a large lime jar used to store snacks.
Then, I continued to greet the next family with everyone.
However, this next one is Wang Chunhua's family.
Last time, Zhou Youqian's corpse, after Xu Nian, Zheng Yuan and Qin Dynasty came over one after another, it was confirmed again that it had been buried under the auspices of the patriarch Zhou Yuandong.
As for Wang Chunhua and the eldest girl's mother and daughter, at that time, under Zhou Yuandong's arrangement, they came back to attend Zhou Youqian's funeral.
It was Xiao Qiongzhi's family, because at that time there were Zhou Dazhi, Zhou Youchong, King Qi and Prince Quan, etc., which made it inconvenient for Xiao Qiongzhi, Chu Yunniang, Qi Wuxiu and others to enter and leave the courtyard at will.
The main reason is that I am afraid of causing people who attend the funeral of Zhou Youqian's family to see them, come over to say hello, visit the door, and discover the secrets here.
It has always been Zhou Dayong who came forward, lying that his family was busy peeling mountain chestnuts and making fairy tofu, and only sent him as a representative to Wang Chunhua's house to attend the funeral and help.
Later, after the funeral, according to Zhou Dayong, Wang Chunhua and the eldest girl did not return to Wang Chunhua's mother's house and decided to stay in the village to live.
