The golden crow falls, the jade rabbit rises, and in a blink of an eye, it is the Dragon Boat Festival.

Lin Yu'an has been in Kyoto for a full month, and now he is still living in the warm pavilion behind the old lady of Yiranju.

Since the first two days of the Dragon Boat Festival, there are people in charge of the Wang family's granges who have successively sent calamus and wormwood that are very suitable for the occasion, and the palace is filled with a faint aroma of herbs.

The weather had warmed up, and Mrs. Wang had sent someone to measure the physique of Lin Yu'an and Xianpu's master and servant, saying that they were going to make new clothes.

On the eve of the Dragon Boat Festival, the embroidery lady in the house made the clothes and sent them over in the evening. Because Lin Yu'an is still in the filial piety period, it is not good to wear red and green, and because she is in her grandfather's house, it is not good to be too plain, so when Mrs. Wang asked Lin Yu'an to choose the color, she chose goose yellow and crescent-colored Hangzhou silk. By the way, I also made a plain dress for Xianpu.

Moon-white pleated Ruyi skirt, the waist is gently tied up with a goose yellow belt, in order not to look too plain, the embroiderer is decorated with pearls and broken jade, and the sporadic decoration at the skirt looks like a kind of casual and unpretentious beauty.

Lin Yu'an grew up in Jiangnan since she was a child, and she has the typical gentle temperament of Jiangnan women, plus her picturesque eyebrows, there is a kind of gentleness that Kyoto women do not have.

She was dressed like this, and as soon as she walked out, Mrs. Wang praised her happily.

"My cousin is suddenly a beautiful woman, look at this dress, it is a little similar to the old lady when she was a girl!"

Hearing Su's mother's pleasing and joking words, Mrs. Wang glared at her with a smile: "You old thing, you still make fun of me at this age."

Lin Yu'an couldn't help laughing, and after a while, everyone in each room arrived.

Mrs. Wang asked the maid Xingyan to distribute the sachet made by the embroidered lady with mugwort leaves and calamus to everyone, one for each person, Qi has been three months pregnant, and now she is sitting in front of her aunts and uncles with a ruddy face.

She wore a soft silk skirt with silver thread twisted beads dyed in the color of the lake, only a tortoiseshell ruby tassel hairpin was inserted in her temples, and a pair of ruby earrings fell from her ears, as if she was a little afraid of heat, and Mother Gui was carefully shaking a fan for her.

Seeing this, Mrs. Wang was a little worried: "It's not the hottest time yet, don't blindly hurt your body for the sake of greed."

Hearing Mrs. Wang's words of concern, Qi replied with a smile: "Mother's teachings are good, but as soon as this fan rests, the daughter-in-law's heart is like sticking to a hot kang, which is really hot."

Hearing this, Mrs. Wang couldn't help but be a little surprised, how could there be such a thing, she remembered that she was pregnant with the five brothers and sisters of the Wang family, and this situation had never happened.

Her heart condensed slightly, and she didn't say much, just a few words of advice to pay attention to her body, and then changed the topic.

Old Madam Wang looked at Wang Xuanrong, who was wearing a lotus root pink butterfly and a flower-dragging long skirt today, and said in a gentle voice: "What have you learned from Mr. Jing'an recently?"

Mr. Jing'an is a well-known female gentleman in Beijing who reads poetry and books, and is now forty-nine years old.

The famous families in the capital are very interested in the education and knowledge of their children, even if it is a daughter, they also think that it is always good to read more books, so it is the choice of many families to ask a female gentleman to raise their daughters in the boudoir.

The Wang family was able to invite the well-known Mr. Jing'an to teach poetry and books to the Wang family's daughter, and it also took a lot of effort. Before the age of thirteen, the daughter of the Wang family would learn poetry and books from Mr. Jing'an, and after the age of thirteen, she would be at ease to practice female workers in the boudoir.

Now among the daughters of the Wang family, only Wang Xuanrong is still listening to the class at Mr. Jing'an, and when she saw her grandmother asking, Wang Xuanrong's soft eyes flashed slightly: "Back to the ancestral house, my granddaughter recently read a poem."

Wang Xuanrong's chin was slightly raised as a memory, and she slowly read in her mouth: "The dim and light yellow body is soft, and the love is far away. Why should it be light blue and dark red, it is the first class among flowers. ”

Old Madam Wang listened very seriously, and sighed slightly when she heard it: "Well, why do you need to be light blue and crimson, since you are the first class among flowers, such a pampered and humiliated arrogance, not following the crowd, it is really rare, do you understand what this means?"

Wang Xuanrong replied humbly and decently: "The granddaughter is clumsy, and she doesn't understand as much as her grandmother, she only thinks that the first-class light in the flower is too much, and it is better to ......."

"Wei'er, don't talk nonsense."

Wei listened to Wang Xuanrong's words on the side, and reminded Wang Xuanwei softly with warnings.

Wang Xuanwei's voice stopped abruptly, and she didn't say any more, and Mrs. Wang didn't let Wang Xuanwei finish her words, and waved her hand indifferently.

Lin Yu was a little curious about the cousin of Sanfang, at a young age, he actually had the mind to hide the light, it can be seen that he is a witty and intelligent person, knowing that the edge is not good, and sometimes Taoguang is the most important thing.

"Sister An'er is dressed beautifully and decently today."

never expected that the eldest aunt Qi would suddenly praise her, she almost thought that she had heard it wrong, and while muttering in her heart that something abnormal must be a demon, she bent down and smiled and said, "The eldest aunt praised it falsely."

Seeing that although Lin Yu'an was smiling on his face, but this smile was a little unreal, Qi thought of Wang Xiaoniang, and said in his heart that Lin Yu'an had a problem with her, so he didn't talk to her anymore, and the atmosphere was a little cold.

Mrs. Wang didn't keep detaining them, and seeing that the atmosphere was not lively, she let them disperse, but left Gui's mother next to Qi's side, saying that she had something to tell her.

After everyone left, Mrs. Wang called Gui's mother to her and asked with a solemn expression, "What kind of food has An Ning used to eat recently?"

Mother Gui pondered for a moment and thought carefully: "There is nothing special, take a bowl every morning and evening."

Bird's nest porridge, noon is also a light dish, except for a West Lake vinegar fish lord particularly liked, almost every day will eat half a fish, nothing else. ”

West Lake vinegar fish, Mrs. Wang's eyes lit up slightly, and she suddenly raised her head and asked Gui's mother: "Then what kind of fruit does she eat?"

Mother Gui said without hesitation: "The tribute oranges that the uncle brought back from the palace have been especially liked by the county lord recently, and he will use a little bit in his meals every day."

Mrs. Wang frowned slightly, Qi's body was hot, and she thought that it had nothing to do with food, but after thinking about it a little, she felt that it was better to let the imperial doctor come over to take a look, so she sent Gui's mother back as if she had nothing to do.

The rough people were busy sprinkling lime on the grass in the corners of the walls, and said in a whisper: "Girl, you have to be careful of the five poisons, snakes, centipedes and so on, and I like to burrow into the girl's bed."

Lu Mingfeng couldn't help but feel a little chill in his back when he heard this, turned his head and glared at Xian Pu fiercely, the cunning in Xian Pu's eyes became stronger, Lin Yuan smiled slightly: "You don't have zongzi to eat today."

Xian Pu immediately put away the cunning look of Lin Yu'an just now, and looked well-behaved: "Girl, the maid is wrong, you will spare me."

The master and servant talked and entered the warm pavilion, and made a lot of sachets a few days ago, which was to be given to the elders and a few sisters during the Dragon Boat Festival, but I didn't expect Mrs. Wang to send it first, and she didn't want to take it out again, so she let the idle pu be put away.

"I don't know if there is a dragon boat race today, Nanshuizhuang will put a lot of ducks in the river every year, and the dragon boat race can be lively."

Xian Pu's tone did not hide his thoughts about Nanshuizhuang made Lin Yu'an sigh imperceptibly, I don't know how my mother is doing in the Lonely Moon Nunnery now, thinking of Wang Xiaoniang being lonely and lonely, Lin Yu'an felt that her breath was stuffy and blocked in her chest, which was very uncomfortable.

She had to find a way to get her mother out of there, she missed her so much.

There will be a day when no one dares to criticize the identity of the mother, and no one will want to force the mother away.

Seeing that Xian Pu was packing up the sachets, he instructed her to take ten and pack them, and turned around and went to Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang was talking to Su's mother about something, and when she saw Lin Yu'an coming in, she stopped talking and said kindly to Lin Yu'an: "What's wrong with Sister An?"

Lin Yu'an thought for a while, and said with some hesitation: "I, I want to send something to my mother, is it okay?"

Her cautious appearance stung Mrs. Wang's heart, Mrs. Wang's face froze, her smile gradually replaced by sadness, and her somewhat cloudy eyes fluttered, as if she was thinking about something.

After a while, Mrs. Wang said softly: "Well, it's okay, she spends the Dragon Boat Festival alone and is lonely, if you bring something to go in person, she must also miss you."

Lin Yu'an's eyes were a little moist when he heard this, and he nodded vigorously: "Thank you, grandmother!"

When Mrs. Wang said Wang Xiaoniang, there would be a faint tiredness on her face, and she waved her hand: "You go and prepare, let Mother He accompany you later, the Lonely Moon Nunnery is on the mountain, you must pay more attention, and smear a little male yellow bar on your body."

Lin Yu'an responded one by one, bowed his head and returned to the warm pavilion, thinking that he would be able to see his mother soon, with a little innocent smile on his face.

Xianpu was puzzled: "Why is the girl so happy?"

"Pack your things, let's go see Mother." Lin Yu'an didn't go around in circles, and hurriedly urged Xianpu to pack up his things. When Xian Pu heard this, he also became happy, and hurriedly said: "Okay, I, the maid will clean it up." I was so happy that I almost didn't know how to speak.

It is ten miles away from Kyoto, and the carriage has to walk for more than an hour to arrive.

In the fields of early summer, the turquoise rice fields gently flutter like ripples on the water surface under the breeze, and they shake their heads and ears like students reading books.

The purple and red morning glory also ushered in her beauty in early summer, blooming brilliantly on the side of the road, which is refreshing, and it is really cute in such a good weather.

Walking to a grange, boiling zongzi, the fragrance of bamboo leaves flows in the air.

Mother He couldn't help but speak: "Can the cousin see this grange?" This is our Wang family's grange, this time should be in the cooking of zongzi, and it will be sent to the Wang family at noon, every year the old lady will give a lot of reward, thirteen Zhuangzi will come to send zongzi, every year the zongzi can not be eaten to reward us people. ”

The proud look on her face was very dazzling, the carriage was ringing, and Lin Yu'an nodded seriously: "Well, the Dragon Boat Festival in Kyoto is really lively."

While talking along the way, the carriage turned into the mountain road, the willows and flowers were bright, and the mountain flowers were brilliant, which made Lin Yu'an see a completely different scenery from Nanshuizhuang.

The time of a pillar of incense passed, and the carriage stopped.
