Chapter 138: The Upper Chapter

After the end of spring ploughing, it is getting warmer and warmer day by day, and in the last seven or eight years of the Great Xia Dynasty, it is either natural disasters or scuffles, and it is enough for everyone to ask for peace.

But in the past few years since the new emperor ascended the throne, it has really gotten better and better year by year, and those forgotten festivals have been turned out again.

This year, on March 3, the Shangsi Festival in the capital is obviously a lot more lively, and many daughters of ordinary people go to the waterside to drink and feast or go to the suburbs to visit the spring.

It is said that the Shangsi Festival is the Daughter's Day, and the women will take their daughters and drive to the river in a car to wet and wash their skirts with water.

Cuihua, who has no daughter, has to play with her nieces on this day.

The grass, flowers, and girls were carried by the green flowers, and they went out with a big basket full of food.

Xiaoliu wanted to make a way, and opened his eyes wide: "Mother, let's go out and play!"

Doudou was like a parrot who learned to speak: "Uncle, Doudou is going too!"

Little Stone blinked his eyes, pretending to be cute, and his eyes were full of longing.

"That's not good, everyone has said that March 3rd is a girl's holiday, aren't you guys manly? Then we won't be able to play together!"

The little beans are so entangled, they don't want to be girls, but they want to go out to play, and their mother brought a lot of delicious food, so they are not happy.

The girls don't care about that, my aunt said that this is their special holiday, and they are going to go out to play.

Looking at the three flower bones in light yellow, light green, and light pink dresses, Cuihua was triumphant, who has more daughters in her family, hehe.

The carriage slowly drove out of the capital, and they were going to have a picnic by the Biluo Lake, the largest one outside the city, today, and the three little birds out of the cage were chirping.

"Auntie, I brought a flute, I'll play it for you!" Xiaocao studied for a few years, and finally was able to play the flute well.

"Okay, my aunt has a good ear today!"

"Auntie, auntie, I can recite poems!" Xiaohua is not to be outdone, competing for performance, little girl, much more generous than the one she just sent.

"Aunt Cui, I didn't bring the piano!" She is in a hurry, and she also wants to perform.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's okay for my aunt to go back to the house to listen to Nannan Fuqin, Aunt Xia can praise Nannan several times, saying that Nannan Fuqin is very talented."

The little girl became happy, and the three of them began to discuss what tunes and poems they would play later, giggling and laughing.

In the bright spring, a few aunts and nephews arrived at Biluo Lake, not only they came, but there are estimated thousands of people who come here to play today.

Those who arrive early can take a better position, spread out a leather or cloth blanket, and sit in groups of people, sometimes laughing, sometimes there is the sound of musical instruments.

Cuihua found a flat meadow and an umbrella-shaped tree to cover her head, and spread a hairless rabbit skin blanket before placing the large basket she had brought in the middle.

The three little girls, looking at the big basket, were about to salivate out, they hadn't eaten what their aunt had made for a long time.

Cuihua thought it was funny, "You didn't eat breakfast today? Are you hungry?"

The little heads nodded in unison: "I'm so happy, I'll eat a little bit for breakfast, Auntie, let's eat a little first."

Cuihua smiled, "Okay, anyway, I eat it early and late, you can taste it and see how it tastes!"

"Aunt Cui, what kind of cake is this green?"

"This is called Qingtuan, made of wine rice noodles, and my aunt wrapped the bean paste filling and salted egg yolk and meat floss filling, you can taste it!"

"Wow, glutinous, good times!"

"The bean paste is so sweet, it's creamy and not greasy!"

"Why does this egg taste different from tea eggs?"

"This is boiled with shepherd's cabbage, haven't you heard, March 3rd, shepherd's cabbage Sailing pill, boiled eggs with shepherd's cabbage, it's good for your health."

"Then I'm going to eat two shepherd's eggs!" "Me too!"

"Auntie, is this also a little cake? Why does it look different?"

"Uh-huh, this one, it's called Snow Fat, and the skin is also made of wine rice noodles, and the inside is the cream you've eaten, aunt

I also put some peach meat, but it was delicious."

"Ang woo, it's really delicious! Auntie, you eat too! We'll take it ourselves!"

Cuihua kept taking out food from the basket as if she were playing a trick, and the exclamations of the little girls spread far and wide, on the grass closest to them.

A little girl of six or seven years old pouted, "Mother, I don't want to eat this, I want to eat that!"

She pointed at the Cuihua and the others, and as soon as she heard the words of the young ladies, she knew that the food they brought was more delicious.

"Zhu'er, what did my mother tell you before she went out? If you come out to play and make a fuss, my mother won't take you out to play next year!"

"Mother, I didn't make trouble, I didn't ask for it in vain, can't we buy it with silver?"

"Then you go by yourself and ask if they sell it!"

"Hmph, don't think I don't dare!"

The chubby little girl, who was provoked by her mother, ran to Cuihua angrily.

But after all, she didn't know anyone, she snorted for a long time, blushing, and then asked in a low voice, "Auntie, can Zhu'er buy some of this!"

The little girl pointed at the snow fat man and swallowed her saliva, she thought this should be the best, she had never seen it.

Cuihua felt that this little girl's apple face was so red that it dripped, and replied with a smile: "Auntie doesn't sell it, but Zhu'er is so cute, Auntie will give you two!"

The fat girl jumped up for joy and shouted, "Thank you, Auntie! Auntie, you're so nice!"

The snow fat man was packed in a wooden box, Cuihua took a small wooden box and put two of them into it, and the snow fat man was the size of *** head, and the box was full.

The fat girl thanked her again, and then went back with the small wooden box.

The woman didn't expect that her foodie daughter would really dare to ask a stranger for food, so embarrassed that her face turned red, and she exchanged the colorful wine rice they brought with the cuihua.

There are still many people who pay attention to Cuihua and their group, and when they see this scene, many of them also come to exchange food.

Cuihua chose some different from them, and exchanged seven or eight kinds at once, and the little girls felt that it was good to exchange food, and they could taste more food.

It may be that Cuihua and the others are not dressed luxuriously, or it may be that she is easier to talk when she looks at it.

There are always some people who don't have long eyes, and now there is an old woman dressed as a housekeeper, and arrogantly said to Cuihua:

"I wonder if this lady can sell my master some food? The master of my family is a relative of the Shangshu family of the Ministry of Rites."

"We don't sell our food, and now it's almost the same, there's not much left, and we don't have anything to sell."

Cuihua was very unimpressed by this woman's attitude, so she decisively refused.

The mother-in-law frowned and was displeased: "This lady, can we buy it at a high price?"

"It's not good if you don't sell it!"

"You, you daughter-in-law who doesn't know what to do, I just see that you work hard to make these foods, and I want to exchange some money with you, just because you have so many daughters in your family, you can earn more silver, isn't it better than eating yourself?"

"Which dog of yours saw that my family lacked this money, and I haven't seen anyone buy and sell it! Don't say that you represent the meaning of your Shangshu family in the Ministry of Rites, the dignified court official, but it's not something that your mother-in-law can represent!"

"This lady is very sharp-toothed, where are you? It's not a small tone!" Walking slowly came a woman in her early twenties, dressed luxuriously, and wearing a small blue and white porcelain gourd earring.

"This is strange, someone wants to force me to sell food, I show that I am not happy, such a simple matter, why do you want me to report my identity, is it convenient for this lady to watch the dishes?"

"Joke, can you be forced to eat this little rough food in the mountains and wilderness of your family?" The woman's face already had an angry face, and this tricky daughter-in-law was quite sharp-tongued.

Cuihua spreads her hands: "So what are you doing? Isn't it forced?"

Hearing the voices of these people, the surrounding spectators were quiet, but their ears were pricked up, and they were about to hear the quarrel again, when another noble lady came.

"Mrs. Zhongqinbo is so interested, why do you have to be free today

Coming to the green?" The lady who came was a partial general's wife, and she had a photo in Cuihua, the Guardian Mansion.

"Mrs. Han, long time no see! Isn't this March 3, a few little nieces in the house have been learning the rules too tightly recently, take them out to relax and relax! Why are you here?"

Cuihua greeted General Han's wife, and the face of the master and servant opposite turned pale, never expecting that such an ordinary-looking daughter-in-law, who was nothing more than a little beautiful, was actually a second-grade lady.

Moreover, they are not deaf, the name of Mrs. Zhongqinbo, the people of Beijing, who is not familiar with them!

wanted to apologize, but she muttered for a long time, and she couldn't speak, Cuihua directly ignored the pair of master and servant, and was pulled by Mrs. Han to chat on the side.

Mrs. Han glanced at the two of them with a smile and asked, "What's the matter?"

Cuihua spread her hands: "The food I made is so delicious that people want to buy it, but because I have exchanged it with several little girls, I refuse it, and I have to report my name."

Mrs. Han smiled, "Oh, you don't care about villains, this is the daughter of the sister-in-law of the Ministry of Rites, she only came to Beijing from Jiangnan a few years ago, it is normal not to recognize you, and you are not a positive person at the Spring Banquet!"

Yes, it's her fault, she doesn't brush her face enough to be widely recognized.

Seeing that Cuihua ignored them, the master and servant left in a daze.

This kind of episode didn't affect Cuihua's mood at all, but the little girls had starry eyes: Aunt (Aunt Cui) is really powerful, and she scolded people away in a few words!

Mrs. Han chatted for a while and left, Cuihua accompanied her to finish the snack, and the three little girls also gave Cuihua a poem recitation and flute performance that was not low.

There are many manors of the Xungui family, and most of the daughters of the boudoir are still convenient to play in their own resorts, and this is still a paradise for ordinary people.

Cuihua was also afraid that a few little girls would be blinded by wealth, so she brought them to this place where ordinary people played, so there were really not so many acquaintances to snore.

So she also played, the homemade paper kite, which is several times the length of others, others are swallows, butterflies or something, and their home is a black centipede.

A centipede with an old body, and a lot of shoes were painted, and Zhong Qinbo made it himself.

Looking at the queen flying into the sky, in a group of paper kites, such a different paper kite, the little girls were very happy, although their uncle's craftsmanship was very good, but this centipede was still too ugly.

It wasn't until the end of the day that everyone reluctantly went home.

"Auntie, come back next year, March 3 is really interesting!"

"Aunt Cui, you're so happy today! There is a third of March every year!"

"Okay, you study hard every day, my aunt promised you that I would take you out for a day every year!"

"Wow, Auntie, you're the best aunt in the world!"

After returning home, a few small ones also returned to the main courtyard after class, listening to a few sisters very happily share with them what they saw and heard when they went out today, and they actually put paper kites.

Xiaoliu said that he was not open: "Mother, is there a man's day?"

"This, this doesn't seem to be true!"

Four little beans: Baba (uncle/uncle), we are also going to have a men's day!
