Chapter 184: Lantern Festival
Xianghua asked Ying'er to send the gadgets and snacks bought in the car to everyone, and everyone was happy and happy.
Everyone liked the small cakes like flowers, the lifelike noodle figures, and the candy wrapped like gold and silver ingots.
Xianghua, Qian Xiaoman and Chengjia walked in front, and the others followed to the side to listen to the excitement, Xianghua saw from time to time that the villagers who had not seen him for a long time had to say hello, and even the yin and yang people like Chengdashu's daughter-in-law felt a lot more pleasing to the eye.
"Sister! Sister! Sister! β
Xiang Miao took Dabao and ran down the mountain screaming all the way, almost knocking Xianghua backwards again.
Xianghua raised her little face and looked at it, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for more than a month, Xiangmiao, you look better!" β
Kanae pursed her lips and buried her head in her chest, tears in her eyes.
Xianghua knew that she was coquettish, so she said, "What, it's my sister who ran out to play this time, leaving you and Donglin busy at home and crying?" β
Seeing that she actually said this, Xiangmiao stopped crying in anger, and said, "Who is tired and crying?" Hello, when you go, you said you would go and come back quickly, and you have been gone for so long! β
Xianghua smiled: "Yo yo, how old are you, you dare to say that about me, it seems that your wings are really stiff." Come, let me touch itβ"
As she spoke, Xianghua tickled her.
Xiangmiao was most afraid of itching, and said while running: "Dad said that if you are free, please go up the mountain to eat a bowl of rice balls!" β
Since Cheng Linchang spoke, everyone is really happy that Xianghua is back, except for a few thin-skinned ones, everyone goes to Xiaocheng Villa to ask for a bowl of rice balls to eat, which is also the luck of becoming a family.
Xianghua originally wondered why Yun Niang and Aunt Tao were late, it turned out that everyone was making noodles and rubbing rice balls, Cheng Linchang really couldn't pull away, otherwise he would have run down the mountain a long time ago.
Everyone arrived, Cheng Linsheng and Cheng Sun took over the morning's work, and Cheng Linchang let go of his hand.
He turned around and saw Xianghua standing at the door with a smile, so he said, "I'm back!" He walked over with a smile.
Xianghua also thought about the family for a long time, so she plunged into her father's arms.
Cheng Linsheng felt sorry for the children, thinking that his three babies were so sensible, capable and well-behaved, Xianghua and the three of them were already indebted when they were not at home, and now they must not be frightened anymore.
The two hugged each other and laughed and cried, and it took a while before they separated.
After Xianghua and the people at home finished speaking, they went to talk to Dabao and Mobao next to them, and they were busy for a while before they had time to change their clothes, and pulled Qian Xiaoman out to eat rice balls.
There are two kinds of glutinous rice balls, one is larger, wrapped with sesame sugar filling; One is a little smaller and does not have a sugar filling. But either way, there are many copper coins wrapped in them, and those who eat copper coins will have good luck in the new year.
Xianghua took out a jar of sun-dried osmanthus stamens and added a little to each bowl, and the glutinous rice balls were sweet and sweet, which was even more attractive. Each person brought a bowl and ate it with a snort.
Dongshan ate quickly, ate three in the blink of an eye, and when he ate the fourth, he felt that something was in his mouth, and when he spit it out, he saw that it was indeed a copper coin.
Cheng Sun said with a smile: "Put it away, this copper coin is your luck!" β
Vanilla also looked at Higashiyama and smiled. Dongshan has worked a lot harder since he failed the list last time, and I don't know if I can be admitted this year. She looked at Dongshan for a while, and then turned to look at Wu Yong, who was immersed in eating rice balls.
Wu used him to be honest and honest, everyone teased him at first, and then everyone thought he was very interesting, and they would call him for anything.
The orchid was about to be potted, and I couldn't eat too many rice balls, so I picked one out of the bowl of Chenggang and tasted it, but I didn't expect to eat a copper coin as soon as I ate it, and everyone clapped their hands and applauded.
Everyone begged for the lottery and ate the rice balls, all of them were beaming. The people in the village are very polite now, and they have washed the bowls themselves after eating the rice balls before going down the mountain.
The family didn't have to be busy after dinner, so they sat and asked about the things in the Xianghua capital.
What imperial city is not high, is the young lady of the capital beautiful, and what does the emperor look like...... Not only a few little curiosities, but even Cheng Zhengde and Cheng Zhang listened with great interest.
Qian Xiaoman was in a good mood, and also talked about what she saw and heard when she traveled south and north, what secrets of Xiangxi and Silk Road were talked about, and she was afraid and thought about a few vanilla seedlings, and before she knew it, it was night.
"Oops, happy to say, I almost forgot that there was something good!" Xianghua laughed and ran into the house.
Xianghua went back to the room and took out a large handful of things, and said to everyone with a smile: "These are all given by the princess, and each one is named." β
For the two elders of Cheng Zhengde and Cheng Sun, the princess gave jade Ruyi; For Cheng Linchang and Cheng Linsheng, the princess gave two beautifully carved jade pendants, and Cheng Sun gave a pair of gold bracelets; What was sent to Donglin Dongshan was a set of excellent pen and ink, and the two sisters of vanilla and fragrant seedlings were each a pair of hairpin rings made by Ouchi. In addition, each person was given a number of satin silk yarns of various colors, whose color and luster were unheard of, and the luster was unseen.
Xianghua said with a smile: "The princess said that she is not used to traveling far away, so she can't come here this time, so she prepared some gifts to express her gratitude." Don't look at these gifts, that's because the princess's phoenix didn't come, it's inconvenient for me to bring too much, if according to Mama Zhao, these gifts are far from enough. β
As soon as she finished speaking, Cheng Zhang folded his hands and recited Amitabha Buddha several times, "How can we be too little, such a lot of good things is nothing?" Yes, the princess's palace hall must be full of treasures. Look at this Ruyi, I've never seen it so beautiful in a painting! β
Cheng Sun also said happily: "That's it!" It's the first time I've seen such a big gold bracelet! Look at this golden light, brighter than the stars in the sky! Xianghua, you are really the only one who has attained the Tao, and our chickens and dogs have ascended to heaven! β
Dongshan cried and laughed: "Mother, you didn't use this word like this!" β
Cheng Sun said with a smile: "My mother doesn't know much about this, my good son reads it well, and he will teach his mother in the future!" β
The two brothers, Cheng Linchang and Cheng Linsheng, also held the jade pendant and didn't dare to wear it on their bodies. They are all rough people working in the countryside, this jade is worn on the body, if it is accidentally broken, how can it be distressed to death?
Donglin Dongshan and Xiangmiao Vanilla are not so particular, seeing that the princess sent a good thing, just put it away, Xiangmiao has already asked Vanilla to put the golden hairpin on her head.
The crowd laughed.
After dinner, after Cheng Linsheng's family left, Cheng Linchang's family closed the door and said something considerate.
Xianghua asked, "By the way, why didn't you see Miss Wang after you came back?" β
Xiangmiao rolled her eyes and said, "Sister, I forgot if you didn't mention her." After you left, Miss Wang either stayed in the house and didn't come out to eat, or she went to the entrance of the village to see, as if waiting for someone to pick her up. At first, we were polite to her according to your instructions, but she didn't have a nose or eyes to us. β
