Chapter 42: The Begging Festival

The word deer, Xiaoyi had heard the former queen mention it many years ago.

The princess of the previous dynasty had four major maids, namely deer, rabbit, eagle, and finch.

The maid who has the best relationship with the princess, named Xiaojing, was given the name Deer by the queen of the previous dynasty.

The princess of the former dynasty died tragically under the blade of the new emperor, and the three maids were seriously injured and fled, and only this "deer" was missing, from beginning to end, and was designated as a "traitor to the party of the former dynasty".

Lin Lu...

Lin Lu!

Xiao Yi paced around the room uncertainly, and then picked up a pen and paper and wrote the letter, and a whistle blew, and the carrier pigeon landed at the window.

"Little shirt girl, the son of Hebei asks to see you."

Xiaoyi had just released the carrier pigeon, and when he heard this, he subconsciously looked at the lifeless black pine next to him.

If Hebei had searched the entire house at that time, he would have found a poisonous medicine bottle hidden under a curtain.

However, Xiao Yi had already recognized the man in front of him, who was the scholar.

She took a sip of the tea on the table and hid the emotion in her eyes: "Let him in." ”

————————

Lin Lu's business gradually began to improve, she only made 100 vegetarian buns and 10 meat buns every day, and closed the stall when they were sold out.

Her reputation has been done, but some people have been waiting for her when she first set up her stall.

But Lin Lu still didn't increase the number of buns, she planned to brew osmanthus sauce, and when the steamed buns were steamed, they could be sold together.

Although she sold the buns every morning, Lin Lu still waited until the afternoon when she was going back before she followed.

"Gloves knitted?"

Zhang Hang was about to go back to the village and looked at the things in Lin Lu's hands.

The original three round yarns have only a short section left, and the wool has been transformed into a fluffy glove.

Lin Lu's fingers were originally quite slender, but after selling the buns in the past few days, he began to weave things, but he knitted a thin cocoon.

If Zhang Hang went back late, she would quietly knit gloves there, and if she went back early, Lin Lu would go back with her, and she would be busy in the yard with Mrs. Lizheng.

Finally, Lin Lu patted the gloves, and there was a towel of the same color lying next to her, soft and comfortable.

"Tomorrow is the Begging Festival, you can rest and rest, and you won't be short of the bun money for this day."

When Lin Lu was delivered home, Zhang hovered and got off the donkey cart.

"I know." Lin Lu laughed out of a pear vortex, and said with a sinister eye: "Sister-in-law will definitely like the scarf you knit." ”

Zhang Hang's old face flushed, following Lin Lu during this time, he also learned to weave a scarf by himself.

I just don't know if Madame likes it or not.

Both of them returned to their rooms with their own thoughts.

Xiao Ci came back a little late today, and when he entered the house, he saw Lin Lu counting money on the bed.

Every night, Lin Lu would calculate the money he had earned, and then write it down in a small notebook.

She can earn about 300 wen a day, and the sum of these days is almost a little more than two taels of silver.

"You don't have to count, the money can't run." Xiao Ci beckoned Lin Lu to get out of bed and eat something together.

"I can't eat it," Lin Lu was still counting: "I can't run away, I can't run away, but I'm happy to count." ”

I have a little money in my hand, and I always feel a little steady.

Xiao Ci washed the dishes and chopsticks after eating, and waited in the house for a while.

Lin Lu had beckoned Xiao Ci to go to bed directly, but Xiao Ci was afraid of bringing the cold outside to Lin Lu, so he stayed in the house every time until his body was warm, and then he was willing to go to bed.

The two hugged each other and slept and had a good night's sleep.

On the Begging Festival, men and women express their hearts to each other.

However, this special day is a rare leisure for Lin Lu, she doesn't have to get up before dawn in the morning, but sleeps until dawn.

Lin Lu got dressed and came out of the back room, and saw the three of them squatting in the yard and didn't know what they were doing.

"What are you doing?"

Seeing her coming, the three of them turned to look at her, but their eyes fell on Lin Lu's stomach impartially.

"What do you mean?" Lin Lu frowned, and inexplicably felt a chill in his back.

"The chestnut rice has sprouted, let's plant it again."

Lin Lu didn't understand, so he simply squatted next to them and watched what they were messing with.

There were green chestnut rice seedlings on the small wooden board next to it, and mung beans and wheat sprouts on the side, and now they were tied into a bunch with red and blue silk ropes.

She looked at it for a moment, still not understanding what she was doing.

"Grow and have children."

Xiao Ci was concentrating on tying, the red and blue silk rope was wrapped around his fingers, and there was a different kind of wild beauty.

Lin Lu was stunned for a moment, and after understanding the meaning of his words, he couldn't help but cough lightly twice to relieve his embarrassment.

Do "seed life" to ask for children.

She now looked at the green seedlings in front of her and the bouquet of "seeds", and she felt that her face was hot, but when she looked at Xiao Ci next to her, his expression was calm.

Although Lin Lu has been married to Xiao Ci's family for three months, in fact, the two have only had sex once, and it is still caused by drugs, how can they have a child?

The more she thought about it, the more embarrassed she felt, and she didn't even dare to look at the two children directly, and let the two cubs ask for children for them here, what a hell of a tradition.

She tried to change the subject: "What did you all just do?" ”

Boss Xiao squatted next to Lin Lu and answered the question most actively: "Worship Kuixing." ”

"Kuixing?"

Xiao Lao Er smiled and said: "It is to bless the luck of the exam, and when the time comes, you can get a good ranking in the exam." ”

"That's a good worship."

Lin Lu thought that this begging festival was a place for men and women to visit lanterns and talk about love, but he didn't expect that there were so many sayings.

"If you have books at home, you have to dry books, dry clothes, dry books, thread needles and beggars, and in the evening, Grandma Zhang should come to you to do knitting together."

"That's right." Lin Lu stood up and walked back: "Then I'll go and dry our clothes first." ”

Xiao Ci looked at Lin Lu's half-understood appearance and was slightly puzzled.

Even if Lin Lu was a slave, he might have been punished before, but he didn't know these basic common sense.

Even a three-year-old baby like Xiao Lao Er knows more than Lin Lu.

Lin Lu took out all the clothes at home to dry, but the clothes of the four people together were less than fifteen, and there was not a single book at home.

The two children got up early and had to take a nap again, and when they fell asleep, Lin Lu discussed the matter with Xiao Ci.

"Li Zheng said that a gentleman will come to the village to teach in a few days, about two taels of silver a year, and I can earn some silver now by working outside for four or five days, and I plan to send two children to school."

Xiao Ci is an Orion after all, and Lin Lu is still very worried that he doesn't take his studies seriously.

Like many farmers in the village, Zhang Hang's worries are not unreasonable.

In their opinion, it is useless to learn books.

Every year, there are only a few places, a group of people compete for it, and it becomes that the ancestral tomb is smoking, and the ancestors bless it, if it doesn't work, it is better to go home and farm, to put it mildly, it is better not to take this risk from the beginning, and there are so many silver taels in vain.
