The seventh day of the seventh month of the seventh month is the begging festival, which is a very important festival for all women throughout the year.

On this day, every girl in every family wears newly made clothes. Prepare melon and fruit snacks and beg at home with the elderly female elders.

For the girls of Lianxiangyuan, this day is even more important. Because the annual selection is also on this day. Today, during the day, there will be various competitions in each room, and when everything is over, everyone gathers together to beg.

It's already very hot. It's only a little cooler in the morning and evening. Early in the morning, examination rooms were set up in each square and room. If a third-class maidservant wants to enter one of the workshops, she must pass the examination of this workshop. If you don't want to enter one of the three squares, you can also show your talent in the backyard rooms to win a higher level.

Everyone is eager to try it out.

"Hurry up, I've heard that the dance and song clubs are already lined up!" Xiao Qian urged Du Ruo to go out, she was still here, but her heart had already flown out of the door and went to the front yard.

"Okay, although today is the selection, but we still have to do the laundry work. In a moment, I'll fold them up and go. "Du Ruo is such a patient person, how can he be urged by Xiao Qian. She still didn't look like she was in a hurry.

The two sisters, Liping and Lijing, could not participate in this year's selection because they had just arrived. But I still wake up early, and I can't miss this kind of excitement.

"Sister Xiaoqian, you look so good today." Lijing had already finished breakfast in the yard and saw Xiao Qian, who was waiting anxiously there.

Xiao Qian didn't have the heart to listen to this compliment, and she couldn't hold back her desire to leave: "Look at you, Du Ruo is dying slowly!" ”

"It's coming, it's coming, I'm in a hurry." Du Ruo finally walked out.

And at this moment, Ling'er also walked out. Today, her outfit is definitely a bloody one. This newly made dress is tailored at a glance, coupled with exquisite embroidered shoes, the whole person is full of energy. Ling'er has a delicate figure, and there is a rhyme flowing out as soon as she acts.

She glanced at a few people, snorted coldly and went out.

"Shall we go? By the way, Lijing and Liping, let's go and have a look. Du Ruoyi raised his head, beckoned Xiao Qian, who couldn't wait, to go out, and said to Lijing and Liping in the yard.

The two sisters, of course, would not refuse.

"Yes, yes, let's go! Come with me to the song shop first. Xiao Qian said as she pulled up Du Ruo, and Du Ruo and the two sisters could only trot up with her.

When I came to the song workshop, I saw that there was already a queue. A dozen girls waited there, and they all looked in one by one.

"Why is it so slow?"

"yes, I've been waiting for an hour."

A girl who had finished the test walked out.

"Hey, Niu Li, how's it going?" A girl hurriedly pulled Niu Li out of the house.

"Don't say it, I don't know the bottom of my heart." Niu Li looked a little apprehensive.

"What's wrong with the owner this year?"

"Don't ask, I can't say that! Isn't that unfair to us who went in first! ”

"Humph! Cheapskate! ”

Niu Li didn't want to pay attention to her and hurried back.

It seems that we can only wait here.

About another hour passed.

"Next! Wen Xiaoqian! ”

"It's coming, it's coming!" Xiao Qian was excited and nervous when she heard her name called.

"Du Ruo Du Ruo, can you see if my hair is right, whether my face is dirty, and my clothes are wrinkled?"

Du Ruo helped her straighten her clothes, and grabbed her shoulders with a smile: "Don't be nervous, Xiaoqian, you are the best singing I've ever seen!" You just take a deep breath and play well. ”

Xiao Qianzhao took a deep breath, and really calmed down: "Then I'll go." ”

Du Ruo also nodded.

Xiao Qian clenched her hands and walked in.

Xiaoqian, who went in, found that she was greeted by listening to a tune, and after listening to it only once, she tried to sing it as much as possible.

At the same time, Suzu, who was in the dance hall, also entered. Her questions are tests of physical flexibility and rhythm.

Pu Rou is in the kitchen, and today's kitchen competition is to cook vegetables.

As a veteran of the firewood house, Pu Yi's body is the best, and the speed of chopping firewood is unmatched.

As for Du Ruo, she went to the inaccessible road alone.

Everyone made their own choices and waited for the final result.

After the end, everyone gathered in Tianxiang Building.

Now there is nothing more important than begging!

"Come on, come on, don't be restrained, the begging festival is only once a year. Have fun, everyone! After Aunt Zhang was gone, the big maid next to Aunt Lin, Red Sleeves, began to become a family. She is not like Aunt Zhang, who is a domineering person, she is a sleek, reasonable and informed master. After following Lin Jiangyue for so many years, her communication skills have become more and more powerful.

Everyone was noisy and presumptuous, and they picked up their wine glasses and ate dumplings. Dumplings must be eaten, this is the rule, it is a custom. After eating dumplings, you can marry well only if you are skillful.

"Ahh Xiao Qian muttered and took out a copper coin from her mouth.

"Haha, this means that you are blessed." Liping said with a smile.

said that he also ate a dumpling: "Hey, I have ingredients here." Then he spit out a date pit.

Xiao Qian asked curiously, "Jujubes?" What does this mean? ”

Liping couldn't help but blush.

Lijing covered her mouth and laughed, ran to Xiaoqian's ear and whispered. After listening, Xiao Qian also laughed.

Pu Yi didn't understand, a little dazed, and asked Pu Rou on the side: "What are they laughing at?" ”

Pu Rou whispered: "If you eat dumplings with dates, you are married early." ”

Pu Yi was busy with a look on his face, and he was embarrassed to get up.

Du Ruo looked at the happy everyone, and also sandwiched a dumpling to eat, and spit out something. It turned out to be a piece of black-brown cinnamon!

"Du Ruo, this is good!" When Lijing saw it, she hurriedly screamed. "Wow, Du Ruo, you're going to be terrible in the future!"

Du Ruo swallowed the strange-tasting dumplings: "What's wrong?" ”

"If you eat cinnamon, you will be able to marry someone with noble status in the future! Sister Du Ruo, don't forget us when you develop in the future! Lijing was busy explaining to Du Ruo.

"Hey, Du Ruo, Du Ruo! Read 'Wen Xiaoqian' with me, come on, read it a few more times and you won't forget it! Xiao Qian jumped in front of Du Ruo like a treasure and said to her with a grin. Amused everyone.

"Ah, that's not necessarily a good thing. What if this noble man was an old man? Or a leper bald, or a one-eyed monster! Then I'd better not get married. Du Ruo said humor, and everyone present laughed.

Du Ruo's heart was warm, she had never had such a lively festival. In Du Ruo's previous life, she was alone, and after her grandmother left, there was no one she could care about or care about her. For the first time, Du Ruo's heart felt the warmth of home. She doesn't care a little about the results of the selection, isn't it the most important thing to have these sisters and friends?
