Chapter 243: Beggar

On the day of Qixi Festival, just in time for Zheng Zhiyuan's boat to go to sea, Xiao Ru simply asked the cook to prepare the begging fruit, ready to take a dry maid from the house to go out, play at sea during the day, and beg on the boat at night.

Although this year is not thrilling, but the strings in the hearts of the girls in the house have always been tight, and now they are finally stable, and it is the Chinese Valentine's Day, so it is also time to relax.

The old lady also felt that there was nothing wrong with her son and daughter-in-law going out for a walk, if it weren't for her old age, she was afraid that her body would not be able to stand it, and she would want to go and see it.

Early in the morning, Xiaoru changed into short clothes, dressed up neatly, and took the maids in the house to prepare for the festival together, and packed up the packing, before dawn, the carriage and horses were ready, although Jiang Yi had a body, the playability was not reduced, she couldn't stop her, so she had to let her also take a group of people who were waiting, and she was tired of being in Lou's house early, ready to go out with Xiaoru, this Nizi Qixi is not with her family...... is not with her father-in-law, but wants to come over to join in the fun, it is not very suitable, but she is a scoundrel and pregnant with a child, Xiaoru has no choice but to turn a blind eye and let her be.

The children were also excited, Fu'er took her two younger brothers, big hands and small hands, like a small tail, chasing Xiaoru, front and back, they all tied brightly colored purses around their waists, wearing new clothes, especially Xiaoxiao, with a round face, and the same eyebrows and eyes as little adults, which are very cute.

Xiaoru asked her subordinates to take out their clothes and books to expose them, listened attentively, frowned and ordered: "At night, don't forget to put away your things, I'm afraid it will rain tomorrow." ”

Xiaoyan and Meng Nier agreed, and went down to order.

When the Lou family arrived at the dock, they saw the big ship entering the sea, this boat was transformed by Xiao Ru herself, and it was very similar to the 'home' of the merry thief in the books she had read before - it was a delicate three-masted ship, with white sails, a long and narrow hull, and the wood was solid and smooth. Just looking at the appearance, it is very likable, and the layout inside is even more comfortable in the bones.

Therefore, after the ship fell into the sea safely, a cadre of the Lou family, under the leadership of Fu'er, flew up quickly, flying from the bow to the stern, from time to time there were laughter and laughter, there were many fishing boats parked on the dock, and there were also several fishermen who returned from fishing and sold on the dock. However, this boat is obviously the most conspicuous, there are a few old fishermen, standing on the shore and pointing, their eyes clearly showing admiration and envy, so that Xiaoru's heart is happy.

The wharf is full of people, all kinds of fresh seafood, cheap varieties are also diverse, and there are golden-eyed foreigners talking to people in a stumbling official dialect.

At this time, it was early summer, the new ship went fast and steadily, and soon went out of the dock, Lou Yi took Xiaoru, quietly looking at the blue sea, the waves were flying, and occasionally there were seagulls landing lightly on Xiao Ru's hand, singing tactfully, Xiao Ru's heart was wide open, squinting and feeling the oncoming sea breeze, snuggling in Lou Yi's arms, feeling warm in his heart.

It's a pity that Jiang Yina Nizi couldn't smell the fishy smell, holding the essence sent by Xiaoru, and sat pitifully in the cabin, scratching up and down like a cat's paw in her heart, which made Xiaoyan and Meng Nier, who were waiting on the side, snicker.

In the evening, the little maidens on board were excited, and from time to time they gathered together to whisper, and the sailboat had returned to its sails, and the bow and stern were hung with delicate colored lanterns, and they were decorated with flowers.

Brother Fan and Xiaoxiao also followed behind Fu'er to join in the fun, of course, Xiaoxiao was pulled over by his brother, played for a while, and was finally caught by Xiaoru, Xiaoxiao fell into her mother's arms, and refused to go out, this child is a small mess, I don't know who smeared the color of red, green, and green on his face, frowning little brows, whether to cry or not, looking at Xiaoru aggrievedly, to make Lou Yi laugh, Xiaoxiao was angry, reached out and grabbed Lou Yi's sleeve, and wiped his face viciously......

Lou Yi's eyes widened, he couldn't cry or laugh, he looked at Xiaoxiao depressedly and snorted, and put his head back into Xiao Ru's arms, and Xiao Ru's shoulders moved, his face was red with a smile, and he sighed helplessly: "Hey, what a little devil star, where is my daughter?" ”

Xiao Ru gave him a blank look.

At about the end of the hour, the begging incense case was placed in the bow of the ship, and the moonlight sprinkled down, reflecting the lights, and the whole ship seemed to be plated with a layer of gold. On the incense table, tea, wine, fruits, longan, red dates, hazelnuts, peanuts, melon seeds and other dry offerings, as well as a few bouquets of flowers.

The maids wore colorful clothes and burned incense to worship.

Xiaoru and Jiang Yi didn't go over, they just leaned against the window and watched from afar. Xiaoru is the master, besides, she is not very interested in these, she has never tried it before, Jiang Yi wants to go, but unfortunately, her body is not angry, soft, and she has no strength at all, so she can only rely on Xiaoru's side, tired of her eating and drinking. Fortunately, during today's holiday, the kitchen made a lot of fresh and delicious snacks, which stopped her complaining little mouth.

After the worship, according to the old customs of the family, it is to wear needles and beg, and to be clever and to be clever with needles.

When she was skillful in threading needles, the most skillful hand was naturally Meng Nier, she followed Xiaoru to study medicine, her eyesight was good, her hand strength was well controlled, and she dressed naturally fast and accurately.

However, when it comes to casting needles, Moniel is much worse, this job requires skill and exquisite mind, Moniel was born with her hands, and she had not practiced much before, and the needle she threw only lay on the surface of the water, and then sank.

Xiao Nizi wailed, pretending to pout her lips regretfully, which made the maid laugh, but she was not really annoyed, and after a while, she pestered Xiaoyan who voted the best to learn the tricks, not to mention, Meng Nier is also smart, she was only pointed out by Xiaoyan for a few words, and when she voted again, she became presentable.

It was our little Fu'er who won the championship when the spider should be coincidental, she was the first to show the spider, of course, cough cough, this is Xiaoru's hands and feet, with her, even if Fu'er wants to see ten or eight happy spiders, it is not difficult......

What does it matter? As long as the child is happy.

Xiaoru listened to the noisy sounds of the girls from a distance, watching them hold all kinds of fresh melons and fruits in their hands, laughing loudly, playing happily, you chase me, entangled, and feel that these girls are much more lively and moving than when they were detained in the house.
