Chapter 56 Temple Blessing
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Vientiane was renewed, early in the morning, Qin Miaomiao put on new clothes made with Yang Liu, at the age of fifteen or sixteen, her skin was naturally smooth and delicate, plus she was already white, and the red color made her full of vitality.
It's just that Qin Miaomiao's hands are a little remnant, and the cumbersome bun can't be combed out, so she can only tie up her hair like a man and tie it with a hair rope, which is less soft and more heroic.
Because she had to eat dumplings in the morning, she got up early, and before Su Mu got up, she had already reconciled the noodles and was preparing the filling.
Su Mu was as usual, casually wearing a plain robe, he didn't like dark clothes, the robes were all light colors.
It may be the reason for Xi Shi in the eyes of his lover, Qin Miaomiao felt that Su Mu had actually worn this robe of burlap cloth with a fairy spirit.
Seeing Qin Miaomiao walking over by the stove, Qin Miaomiao noticed that he was holding a purse-like bag in his hand: "Happy New Year!" Before Su Mu got closer, Qin Miaomiao had already said hello, which was the first thing they said this year.
Su Mu had a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, and it seemed that he was in a good mood, and handed the purse in his hand to Qin Miaomiao, his expression was still arrogant: "The New Year's money for you." ”
Qin Miaomiao raised her eyebrows, and Huanxi immediately climbed the mountain eyebrows, put down the stuffing basin in her hand and took the purse, and opened it with a smile: "Wow, wow, wow, Su Langzhong, you are so generous, ten taels of silver?" That's too much. ”
In the past three months, Qin Miaomiao paid him back nine taels, and a New Year's money was sent back.
Qin Miaomiao sealed the purse, raised her hand and handed it back to Su Mu, thinking that she could hand over the scattered few coins of silver by herself, but these ten taels were too much, and she couldn't accept them.
Su Mu didn't care: "Take it, the girl has a lot of places to use money, so she can buy something if she likes." ”
Qin Miaomiao gave a happy look, a little embarrassed, she didn't expect Su Mu to give her New Year's money, so she didn't prepare anything, and felt a little embarrassed at this time: "Su Langzhong, I still don't accept it, the silver you gave is a bit much, not to mention that I haven't prepared the New Year's money for you yet." ”
Su Mu looked at Qin Miaomiao amusedly, and quipped: "This New Year's money is given to children by the elders, what do you prepare for me?" Accept it, it's unlucky not to collect the New Year's money. ”
He is ten years older than her, and he has always treated her as a child, Qin Miaomiao was a little frustrated when she thought of this, and kissed herself that night when she treated herself as a child? disturbed his own pool of spring water, but he apologized and retreated, dead man!
Qin Miaomiao didn't shirk, put her purse in her sleeve pocket, and set a New Year's goal for herself, this year Lao Tzu is going to accept you, a fake and serious dead man, and your money will be Lao Tzu in the coming year.
Su Mu saw Qin Miaomiao accept the New Year's money, hooked the corners of his mouth and asked unprecedentedly, "Do you use me to help make dumplings?" ”
In the past, Qin Miaomiao was just watching or busy with his own things when he cooked, and he never offered to help, so that Qin Miaomiao was used to being busy with his own work, and he suddenly proposed to work Qin Miaomiao was inevitably surprised: "Well, you can do whatever you want." ”
Although Su Mu can cook, Qin Miaomiao thinks that Su Mu can't do such a complicated thing as making dumplings.
Su Mu smiled, and his tone was unconcealable: "I will do it if you will, and I will if you can't." ”
"Will you be flirting?" Qin Miaomiao blurted out without thinking.
"What? Flirting with what?" Qin Miaomiao's speed of speech was a little fast, Su Mu didn't hear clearly, and asked while pulling his cuffs.
"It's nothing, it's nothing...... Qin Miaomiao pulled the corners of her mouth and replied with a smirk, but she was snorting coldly in her heart, "I'll flirt with you, do you want to help cooperate?"
The meat filling made of shiitake mushrooms and pork, Qin Miaomiao was afraid of getting tired and blanched a few cabbage leaves and minced them inside.
Qin Miaomiao mixed the stuffing, Su Mu kneaded the dough on the side, kneading the dough, Qin Miaomiao looked at Su Mu with his eyes while stuffing, I didn't expect Su Mu to really make dumplings and make it decent.
She was a little curious about how Su Mu learned to do this in this era when men were respected.
She knows how to cook for the sake of survival, and in modern times, her mother's cooking is not only difficult to swallow, but she can't even look at it, it's all spicy-eyed dark dishes.
Because her parents both work in the hospital, her father is a surgeon, and her mother is the head nurse of the same hospital, so she is very busy with work, Qin Miaomiao has been living with her grandmother, and later her grandmother died, she learned to cook and take care of herself when she was in junior high school, but how did Su Mu learn.
As soon as Qin Miaomiao wanted to speak, two figures, one tall and one short, came in from outside the courtyard, and the bean bag ran to Qin Miaomiao's leg and rubbed it, looking at the stuffing pot in Qin Miaomiao's hand curiously, as if asking her what she was eating today?
Ge Jun also watched the two of them busy with their work, and asked the words of the bean bag: "What are we eating?" ”
"Dumplings, didn't you eat them yesterday?" Qin Miaomiao replied while busy rolling the skin.
I ate it yesterday, but Gejun didn't know what the ball with minced meat and vegetables was in this noodle, it was originally called dumplings, and there was no such way to eat it in his hometown.
After the dumplings were wrapped in the pot, Ge Jun waited for the dumplings to come out of the pot and asked: "Are there any other activities besides eating during the New Year?" Wouldn't it be a little too boring. ”
Qin Miaomiao glanced at him: "Bored, don't eat it, just eat the dumplings in a while, I plan to go to the temple in the town to pray for incense, will you go?"
"To the town?" When he heard this, Gejun in the town was a little reluctant: "Did you play in the village?" It's too far from town. Gejun was reluctant to go.
"There's nothing to play in the village, but if you don't want to go, you can chop all the firewood at home."
"Go! I'll go! Gejun didn't want to leave chopping wood, but this summer and his hometown are much more boring than the New Year, his hometown will light a fire tower during the New Year, starting from Chinese New Year's Eve and burning until the fifteenth day of the first month, and for ten days, all the people will not work and graze, each family will slaughter a cow and a few sheep, invite each other to a feast, and a large group of people will gather together all day to laugh, sing and dance.
So when Gejun came here, he felt too lonely and even a little boring.
Originally, Su Mu didn't plan to go to the temple to pray for blessings, he felt that he had been rejected by this world, and there was no difference between asking and not asking, but Qin Miaomiao went to him and was a little worried about her safety. Even if Ge Jun follows him, he is still not at ease, hairy boy.
Almost the whole village is going to the town today, so there is an endless stream of people on the official road, and there is no need to wait for more people to go together. Qin Miaomiao and Su Mu walked ahead, while Ge Jun followed a few steps away from them and walked unhurriedly. Qin Miaomiao looked back at Ge Jun from time to time, with a strange expression.
But this also can't complain that Qin Miaomiao is curious, Ge Jun wrapped himself tightly, Qin Miaomiao asked Ge Jun what he was doing, Ge Jun said that it was because his appearance would attract the attention of others, he didn't want people to stare all the time, but Qin Miaomiao felt that Ge Jun's answer was a bit perfunctory.
The temple is crowded today, whether it is a powerful landlord, a farmer or a fisherman, people from all walks of life, ten miles and eight villages gather here.
Qin Miaomiao thought that she could see Yang Liu and Chen Fu here, but judging from the current situation, I am afraid it is impossible, people are crowded, people are crowded, if it weren't for Su Mu holding her hand, they would have been scattered by this crowded flow of people.
Before she reached the gate of the temple, it was already difficult to move an inch, Qin Miaomiao didn't need to move around at all when she stood in place, and the flow of people would hug her forward.
"How can there be so many people here, I wouldn't have come to join in the fun if I knew it." Qin Miaomiao didn't expect that there would be so many people, she thought that it would be the same as a modern temple fair, there would be delicious food, fun, and a lot of small stalls, but she didn't expect that there would be nothing, there were people everywhere.
Su Mu protected Qin Miaomiao in front of him, reducing the touch of others, and lowered his head to face the top of Qin Miaomiao's hairy head: "It's also my first time here, and I heard that there will be so many people from the first to the fifth day of junior high school." ”
Qin Miaomiao turned her head and said that her warm breath swept over the skin on Su Mu's neck: "Then shall we go inside?" Why don't we go back? ”
So many people, even if they enter the temple, they can only be crowded by people, and it is estimated that there will be a long queue to pray for incense, and Qin Miaomiao lost interest when he thought of this.
"Whatever you want, if you don't want to go, we'll go back." Su Mu has never liked to be lively.
It was easier to walk back than to go in, standing outside the crowd, Qin Miaomiao straightened her clothes and asked casually, "Where is Gejun?" Why didn't you see him?"
Standing on tiptoe and looking into the crowd, but there were still too many people, she couldn't tell where Ge Jun was, looking at it, she suddenly felt that someone was there, Su Mu was next to her, but that gaze came from a distance, and subconsciously looked over, just facing a pair of clear eyes, the person was dressed in an official uniform, standing elegantly outside the crowd, followed by several officials.
Qin Miaomiao was slightly stunned, then came back to her senses and nodded to the man with a smile.
Gently tugged at the corner of Su Mu's clothes, and whispered to Su Mu: "Su Langzhong, the county master Chen Yuanbo is over there, looking at us." ”
Su Mu also looked over, and also met Chen Yuanbo's gaze, and thought for a while: "Let's go and say hello to him, I've seen it." ”
"Why did the county master come back here? Do you pray for blessings? Qin Miaomiao smiled and spoke, speaking of Qin Ruhua, she also wanted to thank Chen Yuanbo, it must have been something he said to Daddy Qin, so he didn't continue to come to the house to make trouble, otherwise according to Daddy Qin's temper, he would not give up after suffering such a big loss.
"Today, people are afraid of chaos, so take a few men down here to have a look." Although Chen Yuanbo smiled, his voice seemed detached.
"The county lord loves the people like a son, it's really hard." Su Mu also had an official smile on his face.
"It's over, have you prayed for blessings?"
"No, there are too many people, and we don't plan to go in." Qin Miaomiao replied truthfully, according to this flow of people, I am afraid that the queue for incense will have to wait until the afternoon.
"I'm going to pour incense for my wife later, do you want to go with me?" It is easy to follow Chen Yuanbo in.
"Why doesn't Madame come and offer incense herself?" As soon as Qin Miaomiao asked, she felt that someone had pinched her waist, and she looked at Su Mu unexpectedly, and asked with her eyes, "Why are you pinching me?" ”
Chen Yuanbo pulled the corners of his mouth far-fetchedly: "My wife has passed away, and I am here to incense her." ”
Qin Miaomiao only heard Chen Yuanbo's words clearly this time, embarrassed and surprised at the same time, his wife had a relationship with herself, but why did she pass away after only half a year?
