Chapter 5 Begonia Spring Embers V
"Then we will do more good deeds to bless our family with good health, and my father and mother will live a long life." The family often provides relief to the victims, repairs bridges and auxiliary roads, and gives doctors and medicines, which is more practical than just going to the temple to offer incense, so Zhang Qingwei said this. "The drama doesn't mean that if you do more good deeds, you will have merit, and then there will be immortals living in our house, and in times of crisis, we will turn danger into safety. Daddy encountered bandits on the way to buy goods several times, and it just so happened that a marching army passed by and saved Daddy's life. It can be seen that if you do too much of this good deed, the gods will bless you. β
"Look at you, I only said one or two sentences, and you came up with such a long truth." Zhang's mother laughed at her daughter, scratching her armpits with her hands, but the places that could make people laugh were scratched by Zhang's mother.
Zhang Qingwei couldn't dodge it, giggled when she was scratched, and hurriedly begged for mercy: "Mother, hahaha!" Spare me. Hahaha! The day after tomorrow will be fifteen, hahaha! It's the day of soup soup outside the city again, I, hahaha! It's time to go back and get ready. β
Zhang's mother was also amused, "I'm almost too bad to laugh." Mother Zhang stopped her movements and stroked her chest. You go and prepare, and remember to call your sisters together. β
"I know, mother, you don't have to say it every time." Zhang Qing replied slightly, and went back to his courtyard.
Zhang's mother didn't talk to her confidant until her daughter was far away, "Mingyue, my daughter doesn't fight or grab, and I don't know who to follow if she doesn't take everything to heart, I'm really afraid that she will suffer if she marries into her husband's family in the future." β
"Madam, the eldest girl has a kind temperament, and it would be good to find someone who accumulates kindness when the time comes. With the financial support of her mother's family, I believe that no one dares to endanger the big girl. Mama said.
"I also understand when you say that, my sister-in-law mentioned her nephew to me today, and I didn't dare to come down. His disciple is too tall for us to climb. "Mother Zhang is worried." I don't agree to this, but the lord will definitely agree. Isn't that exactly what he wants? β
Mama persuaded: "Why should Madame worry, Madame's maiden family is the Gao family, and there are many daughters who marry back to their own families." With the old lady taking care of it, it won't be too embarrassing for the big girl. β
"But I'm still panicked in my heart, before, I was worried that Wei'er wanted to marry a reckless man, and now her soul is still there, I heard the girl below say that she always likes to stay under the Haitang tree. But there was another trouble, which made me sad. Alas! Zhang's mother sighed, and the following mothers-in-law relieved her worries one by one, and she couldn't let Zhang's mother let go of her worries.
Zhang Qingwei didn't know that Zhang's mother hadn't eaten well for a day for her sake, and she was preparing to give porridge tomorrow morning.
The Zhang family's tradition of giving porridge is that on the fifteenth day of the new year, they always have to build a porridge shed and give alms to those who can't eat. This tradition has been done for almost a hundred years. It is said that he was the ancestor of the Zhang family, carrying the goods to the countryside and selling all kinds of things needed at the moment, from needlework and thread to rouge gouache and dried dry goods. That time, a load of goods was not sold for a few dollars, but it was robbed by a gang of ruffians. The ancestors of the Zhang family picked up all the good goods this time, ready to sell them for a big price, not to mention all the losses of the blood, not to mention, far from home, penniless, hungry for a few days, really unable to support, when they were about to starve to death on the side of the road, they saw someone giving porridge and barely saved a life.
At this point, when the Zhang family was developing, they set a rule, and the fifteenth day of each month is the day of soup porridge.
Today is destined to be a busy day, in the morning, Zhang Qingwei got up early, after a simple freshening, went to her mother's courtyard to eat some things, and went out of the city with her brothers and sisters.
The subordinates in the family have already done all kinds of things, just waiting for the masters to speak.
When Zhang Qingwei and her brother and sister came to the porridge shed, there was already a long queue of people who came to receive the porridge. The girl stayed in the porridge shed and directed, while the two brothers watched outside. The people outside couldn't see the situation inside, they only knew that the Zhang family had come.
The people inside listened to the people outside, shouting something The Zhang family is a heavenly immortal who came down to care for mortals, hoping that the people of the Zhang family will live a long life. Some people also sent all kinds of wild things they picked in the mountains, including some rare medicinal herbs and strange flowers and plants.
Zhang Qingwei felt that such a day was so good, and she didn't even have the last doubts in her heart. She thinks that she is Zhang Qingwei, her previous thoughts were a little naΓ―ve, unbounded, and she actually fantasized that she was a fairy.
On the way home, I saved an old man who was bullied. Lao Dao had to thank her and gave her a copy of the Taoist scriptures, saying that she would definitely be able to use them in the future. Seeing the sincerity of the old man, Zhang Qingwei accepted it.
After going back, Zhang Qingwei occasionally flipped through the book. Some of the ideas in the book were something she had never heard or read. She finds it interesting, and from time to time she remembers some of the contents of the book and experiences the situation.
"Girl, this is a delicate thing that someone specially gave to the girl, does the girl like it?" Shake Incense and Dew Drop held a large pear wood box in front of Zhang Qingwei, and some toys were placed in it.
"Gifts?" She put down the book in her hand, "Who sent it?" β
"I don't know, there are too many things sent to the house, most of them are not signed, and after several stewards check that there is no problem, they will be put in the warehouse. Only this one was received by the specified girl. "Shake the incense back.
Zhang Qingwei looked through the box, from small to seven rings, Kong Ming locks, and as big as marquees. There is also a butterfly kite at the bottom of the box. I really moved the things that could relieve boredom on the market to her.
A red bean fell from the kite, and she picked it up, with tiny words engraved on it, "My heart is also your heart." β
"What does this red bean do?" She asked.
"Red beans! It is a species of acacia that is used to convey the belief that it cannot be eaten. Dew Drop explained.
"Someone misses my girl, girl, can you guess who he is?" Shake incense asked.
Zhang Qing shook her head slightly.
"What is the girl embarrassed to say to us, it can't be the son I saw last time I went to Gao's house to sit as a guest!" Shake the incense and tease.
"Childe, what childe? I didn't go to see him. Zhang Qing was slightly puzzled, didn't she refuse on the spot? Shaoxiang watched from the side, could it be that there was something wrong with her memory.
"Girl, don't lie to us. You talked to that boy for a long time before you reluctantly left. I've seen it all, and this can't be faked. Shaoxiang thought that Zhang Qingwei just didn't want to admit it.
Zhang Qingwei carefully recalled what happened that day, she did go to see a son as Shaoxiang said, and she talked to him for a long time. The two cherish each other, there are always endless words, and they are affectionate to each other.
Seeing him, there is nothing else in this world to look at. I can't wait to go to the end of the world with him.
What's going on? Why is this happening?
It was as if to look at him again. Zhang Qingwei held the red beans in her hand and was stunned. When will he come to the door to propose? Why is there no movement at home at all? Her mother didn't mention it to her.
"Look, I said it was a gift from the boy to the girl. Let's go, let's not disturb the girl. Shaoxiang pulled the dew out together, leaving her alone in the house holding the red beans in a daze.
Zhang Qing slightly mossed the words on the red beans, and my heart is also your heart. It's good, I'm the same, are you missing me now?
